How to Sort Dimension in Pivot Table via Order Column which is changing like Factual values

Hi,
Recently in of our product offerings we got stuck on this following question:
How to Sort Dimension based on the Order Value which Keeps Changing with Factual Values??
We have a data source laid out as (example)
In the above the “Order” columns are changing per
Company/(DimensionA) for DimesnsionB.
Instead what we want is: (But only if we can get the following result without putting the “Order” Column in the “Values” Section.
If there are any configurations that we can make to our power pivot model for the similar data set so that the
DimesnionB in this case can be sorted by the Order column, would be greatly helpful to us.

Hi Amol,
According to your description, you need to sort dimension members in Pivot Table via order column, and you don't want the order column show on the Pivot table, right?
Based on my research, we can sort the data on the Pivot table based on one of the columns in that table, and we cannot sort the data based on the columns that not existed on the Pivot table. So in your scenario, to achieve your requirement, you can
add the column to pivot table and hide it.

How do I create a pivot table in numbers?

How do I create a pivot table in numbers?

SO HERE'S WHAT I GOT TO WORK:
Truth is all the real functionality of categories and pivot tables exists in the formulas. You just have to
Create a new table with a list of the categories in the header column.
Add SUMIFS() formula from the browser into the next column.
Enter your arguments and make sure to check "Preserve Column" for each of them.
Although it might not be apparent, you can enter multiple test value and condition pairs.
While I admit the formulas are not nearly so graphic as categories, they are cleaner and less restricting, and they aren't any more difficult to work with than pivot tables.

How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a databae?

How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a database using LabVIEW Database Toolkit? I am using Ms Access. Suppose I have three columns in a table, I write 1st row of 1st column, then 1st row of 3rd column. The problem I am having is after writing the 1st row 1st column, the reference goes to second row and if I write into 3rd column, it goes to 2nd row 3rd column. Any suggestion?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you do a SQL INSERT command, you create a new row. If you want to change an existing row, you have to use the UPDATE command (i.e. UPDATE tablename SET column = value WHERE some_column=some_value). The some_column could be the unique ID of each row, a date/time, etc.
I have no idea what function to use in the toolkit to execute a SQL command since I don't use the toolkit. I also don't understand why you just don't do a single INSERT. It would be much faster.

Pivot table with variables columns

I need a helo to pivot table with variable columns,
I have a pivot table :
SELECT a.*
FROM (SELECT codigo_aluno,nome_aluno , id_curso,dia FROM c_frequencia where dia like '201308%') PIVOT (sum(null) FOR dia IN ('20130805' ,'20130812','20130819','20130826')) a
but I need to run the select with values for dia , getting from a other table :
SELECT a.*
FROM (SELECT codigo_aluno,nome_aluno , id_curso,dia FROM c_frequencia where dia like '201308%') PIVOT (sum(null) FOR dia IN (
select dia from v_dia_mes )) a
thank you

The correct answer should be "Use the Pivoted Report Region Plugin".
But, as far as I know, nobody has created/posted that type of APEX plugin.
You may have to use a Basic Report (not an IR) so that you can use "Function returning SELECT" for your Source.
You would need two functions:
One that dynamically generates the Column Names
One that dynamically generates the SELECT statement
These should be in a PL/SQL Package so that the later can call the former to ensure that the column data matches the column names.
i.e. -- no 'SELECT *'

OBIEE 11g - How to create clean looking pivot tables

Hi, does anyone have a good way to clean up the appearance of pivot tables in OBIEE 11g? I'm a big fan of Stephen Few and firmly believe in the "minimize non-data ink" theory. Unfortunately, there seems to be a lot of stuff on OBIEE pivots that I can't easily clean up. Does anyone have ideas for:
1. How to remove the "gray" / "beige" coloring from column and row dimension? I opened a ticket with Oracle 6 months ago, and basically they've just responded that it is a "enhancement request" for a future version (aka not going to see it for a LONG time)
2. For my "across" dimension, I don't seem to have a good way to show the dimension name. There is an option under "column properties" to "display heading" - but when this is turned on it scrunches the heading up directly over the column that has the down dimension members. I really want this to go across the pivot.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

How to export the created Pivot table by using Power Pivot into separate excel file in the same format?

Hi PowerPivot experts,
I have created more than 60 pivot tables in multiple sheets by using PowerPivot work book. now i want delivery all the pivot table in excel document to my end user by email.
I want send only the Pivot tables which i created using PowerPivot data model instead of sending the whole model file since its very heavy.
I have tried with export option in Excel 97-2003, its works fine but not getting exact pivot format which i created and its displays as value.
My aim to send pivot table that i created format but not whole file with source data.
I would be really grateful if advise me to fix it out.

Hi Robert,
I don't think it is a good idea to deliver all PivotTable report to end user via E-mail, and SQL Server PowerPivot for Excel doesn't support to deliver PivotTable report to end user without PowerPivot data inside in the data model. For example, I suppose
we create a PivotTable to display the SalesAmount of US in pervious years(eg:2012, 2013, 2014), how can we dynamic show the value based on end user selection without PowerPivot data model data(The PivotTable report don't have data source)?
So, one workaround that we can create a shared folder to store all of PowerPivot report for all of end user in the domain environment, and then inform end users to copy the PowerPivot reports what they want via E-mail.
If the end users aren't in domain environment, we can implement the VPN soltion to achieve this.

How can I find overlapping pivot tables?

I am getting errors in my Excel workbook that contains around 50 reports that say "A pivot table cannot overlap another pivot table". I tried to insert rows inbetween tables on each worksheet but it did not solve the issue. How can I find
which reports are overlapping, and is there a way to correct this without re-creating reports?

Linda,

How to sort index_by pl/sql tables data in Oracle 9i Release 9.2.0.1.0 ?

Hi all,
I have populated an index_by binary_integer pl/sql table :
declare
type rec_ty is record(ligne number,code_enreg number(2),code_enreg_ordered number(2));
     type tab_ty is table of rec_ty index by binary_integer;
     vtab tab_ty;
     i pls_integer := 1;
begin
for venreg in(select * from fichier_tempo where num > 0 order by num) loop
          vtab(i).ligne := venreg.num;
          vtab(i).code_enreg := to_number(substr(venreg.texte,7,2));
          i := i + 1;
     end loop;
end;
Now I want to sort the code_enreg data of vtab into its code_enreg_ordered field. I must do that because I must verify that each code_enreg data entered are ordered. So if code_enreg is not equal to code_enreg_ordered at a specified index of vtab then I must take a decision in my program code ; I must code something when this disorder happens.
How to do that ?
Thank you very much indeed.

Thank you Jeneesh , it works with a few modifications about the assignement of the pl/sql tables.
Fantasy > Your blog talks about sorting the pl/sql table through the key. But I want to sort it through the field data. And my field data contains duplicated data. So you did not really reply to my need. Thank you anymore.

How to show two seperate pivot tables with one select column

Hi All
My client wishes to have two pivot tables, one showing positive results and the other showing negative results.
For Example:
DIMENSION
BUSINESS A          1000
BUSINESS B          500
BUSINESS C          100
DIMENSION
BUSINESS A          -1000
BUSINESS B          -500
BUSINESS C          -100
Is it possible to then select the different DIMENSION with one select column for both?
Thanks

Not sure I got it right try this
for Number column pull twice and set col*-1
use 2 pivot table for each number type

OBIEE 11g - Sorting in a Pivot Table

Hi ,
I am working in OBIEE 11.1.1.6. I am trying to sort a particular column in pivot table which is not happening . I tried by giving a rank for the same column and placing it in the first row and hiding it . But It does not work either . Pls lemme know in case of any solutions .
Regards,
Niv

Do in this way
Create a measure in rpd RANK(Measure)
Now extract the measure with the dim column and then do the sort for the column in analytics then you create the Pivot Table View. It will work.
Mark if helps.

Using Slicer to change row dimension in pivot table

I have a requirement to display a measure amount by Quarter,Month or Week of Year. The user needs to select one of three slicer buttons, Quarter, Month or Week. I have tried creating a calculated column in my tables, e.g PeriodToDisplay using
"If" or "Switch".
PeriodToDisplay:=Switch (Dates[PeriodSelected],"Quarterly",FactTableName[Qtr],"Monthly",FactTableName[Month],"Weekly",FactTableName[weeknum])
Where Dates[PeriodSelected] is just a 3 row table with , Quarterly,Monthly,Weekly rows. I display those as a slicer in the powerpivot view.
The FactTableNames are where the aggregation sql have been done. The row labels now are:
Qtr
Month
Week
And the granularity i know can be collapsed by the user but they do not want to see a Qtr displayed when they only want to see the month.
I receive an error message the Quarter is not in the proper context or is a circular reference.

The behavior you want can be achieved with a hierarchy built in the Power Pivot model, and then using Excel's drill down functionality on the pivot table.
Alternately, you could define an MDX named set for the pivot table to define the rowfilters.

Pivot Table with Dynamic Columns and Headers

Hello,
I'm trying to pivot a table of data where the column headers will be dynamic. While I know how to pivot the table to get what I want how will I be able to pick up the table column header from the Pivot to display in the report?
For example:
Unpivoted data is Employee Code, Branch Code, Problem Code, # of Problems.
There is many records for a given Employee and Branch that I want to pivot so the Column headers are the Problem Codes and the data below is the SUM(num_problems) for that Problem.
So the data may look like this for Tech Bob, Branch NY.
Problem = LEAK, Num_problem = 5
Problem = DAMAGE, Num_problem = 2
Problem = OTHER, Num_problem = 3
Which problem codes may appear is unknown but selecting the DISTINCT(problem) across all techs gives me the column headings to use.
So if I pivot this data, I get this Row:
Tech = Bob, Branch = NY, DAMAGE = 2, LEAK = 5, OTHER = 3
So first can SSRS handle having dynamic columns? Only Tech and Branch are known and the remaining columns are dynamic based on how many Problems they worked on.
Second, how can I set the column heading in my Tablix to be the Problem Code?
Sherry

You just need to use a matrix container
Use EmployeeCode and BranchCode for row group
ProblemCode as column group and SUM([No Of Problems]) as the data expression and it will generate the columns for you based on ProblemCode values automatically.
See an example here

1) User Name
2) Date
3) Login Count
User Name will be row(Vertical)
Date will be Column heading (Horizontal)
Login Count Measures
So I will get login Count of user wrt date.
Now When I give Wide range of filter i.e, from 1st Jan 2010 to 31st Dec 2010.
There is increase in row also column, when it reaches certain extent it gives error as *'Exceeded configured maximum number of allowed input records.'*
How to change the limit? or there is any fix?
Thanks,

Hi,
I have also faced the same issue, i have solved by changing DefaultRowsDisplayed count in instance config file.
<Views>
<pivot table>
<DefaultRowsDisplayed>75</DefaultRowsDisplayed>
<pivot table>
</Views>
Paste that code (which i mentioned in my last post) in instanceconfig.xml before these tags
</ServerInstance>
</WebConfig>
But remember you need to restart the presentation service once this is done....
Thanks

Pivote table in measure column at dashboard

2)in dashboard pivot measures value click, measure value has contain example amount, that amount has (no.of names total amount ) ,that amount clicks related names displayed is possible thing?

Based on what I see of your example, each row of your pivot table represents the grouping for the totals at the bottom. You are asking for value interaction on the grand total amount, but that's not possible as you have it because the totals are calculated numbers.
However, the desire to click on the "45" in your example is the same as saying "I want to see the details of the 'aa,bb, cc...' grouping."
In that case do your Value Interaction on the attribute corresponding to column that has "aa,bb,cc" and "dd,ee,ff" as its values. If the user clicks on the applicable row, the detail report and can display the details of that grouping.
Hope that makes sense.
