How to start from middle of a hierarchy

I am looking to put a hierarchy dimension on my rows but want to start, not at the top node, but some two or three levels down. How can I specify this in OBIEE 11 G?
For example, my hierarchy looks like this:
GL Accounts
All Accounts
Profit
Expenses
Other Children of Profit
I would like to start my pivot table at "Profit". How can I do this?
Thank you.
Jennifer

Hi Jennifer, think you need to use the "selection steps" to do this. If you look at the selection steps pane (it might not be on by default), for your account hierarchy you should see "Start with all members". Below that (Step 2) you should see "Then, New Step". Click on that link, choose "Select members", and in the dialog box "Keep only" and the "Profits" value you want. Sorry, easier to show than describe...
Hope this helps,
Scott

  • How To "Start From Scratch" and Build a Clean iTunes Library on a Portable USB External Drive?

    A while ago I posted about my confused (and confusing) mess of an iTunes:
    https://discussions.apple.com/message/16183210#16183210
    While dozens looked I guess eveyone agreed with me "what a mess" and moved on.
    So ... someone at the Apple Store suggested that what I should do is start from scratch. But I'm not sure if I understand all the steps.  He said I should:
    * create a folder of all my songs and just the song files not all the other iTunes stuff -- copy all the mp3 and m4a files that I have in Music > iTunes > iTunes Music > Music to a temp folder let's call it "all my music"
    * launch iTunes and tell it to move to / always look at / whatever the terms my new portable external USB drive
    * click on file / add to library and tell iTunes I want to add that "all my music" folder to iTunes
    At this point I don't care if we lose playlists, artwork, play counts and all that stuff.
    Does this approach make sense?
    Is there another way?
    So how do I tell iTunes to only look to the external?  How do I get rid of the old stuff I have on the internal that is offering duplicates and phantom entries?  Do I need to delete iTunes and then download a new copy?  Should I delete the iTunes foilder? ...?
    Any advice would be much appreciated.
    Many thanks!

    the simplest and working way.
    go to iTunes -> Preferences -> Advanced
    On there change the iTunes Media Folder location to your external hard drive
    Check that the rest of the preference pane looks similar to the following picture.
    After doing so, on menu bar go to File -> Library -> Organize Library
    This will force iTunes to copy all songs and playlist's to the new place and to build up a new database for the Library.
    Empty or corrupted files will left behind on the old location.
    After checking that all is on place and working at the new location, you may delete all files at the former location.
    Done

  • How to start from a specific point on the timeline

    I have a horizontal list of image thumbnails, there are 21 thumbnails and only 7 are visible at one time and scrolls back and forth. It works fine.
    However, when I choose an image that is not in the first seven, say the 8th image, the page loads and the thumbnails goes back to the beginning images (undesirable). When the 8th image page is shown I would like the thumbnails to start at the eigth image, NOT from the beginning again.
    I had the animation positioned to the eight image for the start, with the first 7 off to the left and the second 7 off to the right. But when I saved and loaded it into the page, it just starts from the begining.
    How can I start the thumbnails from a specific desired position, such as the 8th image or the 15th image depending on the page?
    Thank you for any help.

  • How to start from scratch?

    My G40 2388 is running slow although I have increased the memory. I spoke to a computer sales person who did not try to sell me a new laptop but said that it could help to make backup of all documents etc and then reinstall everything and start from scratch. Anyone has experience with that? Will it help? and how do I go about doing it? For instance how to I go back to the initial config. I do not have CDs because the laptop came with Win XP Pro installed from the manufacturer. I just want more speed and more space so I am open to other suggestions.
    Thanks a lot.

    The "funny" thing (I spend most of a day figuring it out but still have figured it out so "funny" is not the right word) is that the G40 recognizes other USB sticks, but also that one USB stick works on other laptops so it seems to be that stick with this mashine that is the issue. I thought it could be the driver but when I try to update the driver it tells me that I have the most recent driver - albeit that it is dated 31 January 2001.
    The problem is that I do not see the drive (F) and when I click on E (the USB is partioned) then I see E and F and then I click on F the mashine gives me this message: This operation has been cancelled due to restrictions on this computer. I have no idea which rstrictions it could be. I am logged in as administrator (only user). I have tried to restart.
    I really find it strange. Maybe I should delete the driver and see what happens? 
    Regarding the restore point: When I look in add / remove programmes, I see several older upgrades of XP and I thought: Maybe if I remove those because I do have the SP3... but maybe that is the same as removing restore points??
    TS files. They are in a folder I have made.. New folder2. It must have been a programme I installed, I just don't know which.. Some file names are: VTS_01_1.VOB (this one files is 1G alone..) and there are several of those.. do you have any idea what these files are for?
    I hope I can get these problems solved...then I can move on with more productive matters

  • How to start from scratch, School mac?

    Hello everyone,
    So I have had a student laptop Macbook 2011 and now it is mine to keep, I was wondering if anyone could explain how to wipe the hard drive, reinstall snow leopard and start over
    Tnx

    You can use your Snow Leopard retail install disk to erase the drive and reinstall 10.6 Snow Leopard. You will lose any iLife installs (iPhoto, iMovie,GarageBand, iDVD and iWeb) since those are on disk #2 of your original install disks.
    Put your install DVD into the optical drive (CD/DVD drive) and reboot. Be sure to either use the disc that came with your Mac, or, if you installed a later Mac OS X version from disc, use the newer disc. As soon as you hear the boot chime, hold down the "c" key on your keyboard (or the Option Key until the Install Disk shows up) until the apple shows up. That will force your MacBook to boot from the install DVD in the optical drive.
    When it does start up, you'll see a panel asking you to choose your language. Choose your language and press the Return key on your keyboard once. It will then present you with an Installation window.
    Completely ignore this window and click on Utilities in the top menu and scroll down to Disk Utility and click it. You should see your hard drive in the left hand column along with your other drives. Click on the drive and select the Erase tab. Set the format value to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and click the Erase button. After that has finished select the Partition tab. Type in a Name for your hard drive and select how many partitions you want from the Volume Scheme. The usual setting is one partition. Click on the Options button after you've selected a partition to make sure it's set for GUID. Then click the Apply button and after the Partitioning is done quit Disk Utility.
      You can now follow the instructions on the install screen

    1). Install iTunes on your hew drive and connect your iPod to your computer. If it is set to update automatically you'll get a message that it is linked to a different library and asking if you want to link to this one and replace all your songs etc, press "Cancel". Pressing "Erase and Sync" will irretrievably remove all the songs from your iPod.
    2). When your iPod appears in the iTunes source list change the update setting to manual, that will let you continue to use your iPod without the risk of accidentally erasing it. Check the "manually manage music and videos" box in Summary then press the Apply button. Also when using most of the utilities listed below your iPod needs to be enabled for disc use, changing to manual update will do this by default: Managing content manually on iPod and iPhone
    3). Once you are connected and your iPod is safely in manual mode there are a few things you can do to restore your iTunes from the iPod. If you only want to copy your purchases to the computer that can be done using iTunes, you'll find details in this article: Copying iTunes Store purchases from your iPod or iPhone to a computer
    For everything else (including purchases) there are a number of third party utilities that you can use to retrieve the music files and playlists from your iPod. You'll find that they have varying degrees of functionality and some will transfer movies, videos, photos, podcasts and games as well. You can read reviews and comparisons of some of them here:
    Wired News - Rescue Your Stranded Tunes
    Comparison of iPod managers
    A selection of iPod to iTunes utilities:
    TuneJack Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    SharePod Windows Only (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod2PC Windows Only
    iDump Windows Only
    YamiPod Mac and Windows
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows
    Floola Mac & Windows
    iPodRip Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Music Liberator Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    Music Rescue Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iGadget Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iRepo Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    iPod Access Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    TouchCopy Mac & Windows (iPhone and iPod Touch compatible)
    There's also a manual method of copying songs from your iPod to a Mac or PC. The procedure is a bit involved and won't recover playlists but if you're interested it's available on page 2 at this link: Copying Content from your iPod to your Computer - The Definitive Guide
    4). Whichever of these retrieval methods you choose, keep your iPod in manual mode until you have reloaded your iTunes and you are happy with your playlists etc then it will be safe to return it auto-sync.
    5). I would also advise that you get yourself an external hard drive and back your stuff up, relying on an iPod as your sole backup is not a good idea and external drives are comparatively inexpensive these days, you can get loads of storage for a reasonable outlay: Back up your iTunes library by copying to an external hard drive

  • How to start from scratch with iCal (getting rid of duplicate iCal events)

    For reasons I can't figure out, all my iCal events are duplicated 6 times in iCal. None of these events can be deleted (either by hitting the Delete key or via the Edit menu).
    I tried using an AppleScript for this purpose (http://www.johnmaisey.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/applescripts/ ) but it doesn't work, at least on my 10.5.1 Mac.
    I'm pretty sure I'm going to switch over to Daylite, for both my Calendar and Address Book functions, but until then, it'd be nice to start fresh with iCal, since I'm also trying out a .mac account for the first time, and it might be handy to have a clean calendar backup.
    Is there a method for just starting fresh with iCal?

    see this thread that may help you with duplicate events: http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?threadID=1192813&tstart=0
    hope this helps

  • How to Start a color in the middle of a cell in the table & end in next cel

    Hai,
    I am developing a project in VB6 and the databse in MsAccess, i prepared the Report in HTML, Based on 2 Fields called Nextti & Duration Field I am coloring the Background of cells in the report table.
    Actually the Color should start and end insdie or outside the cell based on the 2 Field Values.
    Table is populated for 4 Years under that 48 months, therefor 2 row headings. 1 for showing Years in column & other for Months & with Some fields.
    the below is the line i use to change the background of a particular cell. Its done when i populate the data in the HTML Report.
    OutStream.WriteLine ("<td bgcolor=Yellow><P align=center><Font FACE=Tahoma size=1 color=black>" & Format(dtShade, "dd") & "</Font></P></td>")
    Now i am able to shade the Cell by giving its background color to yellow as below code
    but the problem is i am able to change the background of the full cell. But i don't need to change the background of the full cell always. For example if Nextti value is 15/1/2005 & Duration is 30 then the shade should start from the middle of January Cell (because of the date 15th)end in the middle of next cell (February). If the duration is 15 then it should end in the (January) same end of cell. Kindly tell me how can i do this through HTML. I heard Div can be used to solve this issue. I am a beginner so kindly any one give me a appropriate example which will suit to solve this issue.
    thankyou,
    Chock.

    Can you work out what the actual HTML is to do
    "Whatever it was that you wanted to do" ? { I couldn't understand that }
    I.e If you make up a Test table, with Your Text editor can you get a sample output that looks like you want?
    But the problem is i am able to change the background of the full cell. But i don't need to change the background of the full cell always. For example if Nextti value is 15/1/2005 & Duration is 30 then the shade should start from the middle of January Cell (because of the date 15th)end in the middle of next cell (February). If the duration is 15 then it should end in the (January) same end of cell.
    Is this something that can be done in HTML?
    If your question is 'amenable' to HTML, figure out conditions for which you want to Set a certain color....
    If the color in one cell for instance depends on the Next Cell, then you're going to have to buffer the whole Table ROW....
    Set which ones should be RED for instance, then output that ROW in HTML...
    If you are using Java for this, then also be aware that you might need to escape certain characters like use "\\" to get "\"
    You'd also probaly have an easier time, however you are doing this if you used some sort of CSS .......

  • I just bought a new Macbook Pro and transferred my iTunes archive of music to it. How do I transfer the playlists from my other computer(s)? iTunes on the new machine wants to start from scratch.

    How do I transfer playlists from my other Apple computer(s) to my new Macbook Pro? I think I have successfully moved the music (archive) but the new machine wants to start from scratch on the playlists.

    http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1751
    Essentially you need to copy over the itunes folder
    username/Music/itunes
    Over to your macbookpro I suggest using an ethernet cable as it is way quicker. Put it in the same spot on the new Macbook Pro
    username/music/
    This should bring over the playlists etc. Then just put the music back in from the archive
