Lose chart drill-down for webi based on BEx/BICS

Hi All,
I have a client for whom drill-down through charts based on SAP hierarchies is an essential requirement. My research here (and elsewhere) has led me to the following conclusions:
1. IDT Universe (.unx) can't be based on BEx query (functionality briefly appeared then was revoked with subsequent SP)
2. The supported/recommended method for reporting against BEx query is the BICS connectivity
3. A webi report based on a BICS (although offers nice new sap hierarchy interaction) does not support drill-down through charts
Just looking for confirmation that I am correct...and that my reports will therefore need to be based off traditional universes (.unv), to achieved drill down on charts in webi?
Appreciate any feedback.
Thanks,
Ferdie.

Hey Ferdie
1. Build table in WEBI Document include the Hierarchy object (0COSTCENTER).
2. Choose the CostCenter, right click set as Selection.
3. Now add new Blank Cell and put it near selection , enter there some text , like JUMP TO, DRILL and etc..
4. Now select the CELL . right click , Linking and Hipper Link or Document Link, and choose there another document
or you also can choose self document. When your linking to another webi document you can transfer to it parameters to prompt. So Transfer the costcenter as parameter.
The document link option available only when you run document in View mode (No rich client without JAVA). I will open OSS to SAP about this issue
Also you can choose to open the document in current window, so then user will think that he is still in same document
Example for link parameter:
/portal/1110311905/OpenDocument/opendoc/openDocument.jsp?iDocID=AdJiD59b4kJKkhNpGCYT8Q0&sIDType=CUID&sType=wid&lsSpsCost%20Center%3A=Ness&sWindow=Same
I hope this will work

Pie-chart drill-down

Hi,
I have created a pie chart on my report. I want it so that the user can double click on a segment of the pie and drill-down to view some detailed logs. The logs just being a list of details from the records like "name" "age" etc.
I have read some stuff on subreports and linking, but im not quite sure wether this is the way to do this or if there is an easierway without all that subreport linking malarchy.
Is there an easier way? and if so, could you please provide me with a step-by-step as im fairly new to this whole crystal reports thingamajig. Thanks

Hi James
You can get a drill down on your pie chart once you apply groups in your report and create chart based on those groups.
For example: I create a report to display the last year sales for all the cities in a country. I want a drill down onmy pie chart for the cities. I do the below:
1. I create two groups on Contry and City.
2. Now I create a pie chart. In Data tab of Chart expert select the group for City in On change of, and show value Last year sales.
3.Place the chart on group header of Country group.
4. Refresh the report, now I would get the drill down for the cities for every country in the Pie chart.
For more information please refer to Crystal Reports Help.
Hope this helps!!!

Hi, guys
Is chart drill-down supported for the web app in CR 2008/CR XI and how is it activated ?
regards, TST

Hi
I'm using CR XI R2 for the web site
The drill-down feature works fine in the preview mode in CR 2008 but not in the CR viewer. at the web site.
I sort out the way to activate the zoom feature by set autodatabind property to false.
But I´m not able to activate the drill-down feature for the chart at the web site

Unable to utilize Drill-Down for all Filtered Dates in Xcelsius Engage 2008

Iu2019m very new to the Xcelsius Engage 2008 product and donu2019t understand what is needed to correct the drill-down problem encountered in a newly created dashboard.
The issue is with Drill-Down from a filtered chart. For some reason, I am unable to correctly pick any data item from the chart located top of workspace to drill-down to the lower chart when selecting a month beyond Jan u201911.
Iu2019ve unhidden the Label Based Menu, List Box 1 and List Box 2 during attempt to find out why I am unable to drill-down when I select a month other than Jan u201911. As youu2019ll see, when you u2018manuallyu2019 click in the unhidden List Box 2, the bottom chart is displaying the correct data.
Also - new to post for this forum - is there a way to attached the XLF to help with visual support to the problem?
Thank you,
Deborah

Hi there and welcome.
First troubleshooting step is to add a spreadsheet component to your canvas so you can watch what's happening. Second, have a look at this step-by-step to make sure you're not missing any steps. http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/04/xcelsius-interactivity-chart-drill-down.html
Can you select only Jan '11? Or only up to Jan '11? Are you selecting whole months or days?
Assuming that your second chart is filtering for this date, I would check that the formatting is correct. Try, for example, removing all formatting so that you're seeing 40668 instead of a date. Does that work?
Also, it can be helpful to post your version number. This can be found under Help > About Xcelsius and will something like 5.3.5.0

Bex Free characteristic drill down in Web i report

Hi
I have a question, we are using bex query as source for our web i report.
for that if you have an idea on Bex query analyzer, we can drill down on a free char list in bex and each and every drill down bex query go back to cube and fetches and refreshes the data based on the selection.
In the same way can i get the same feature in Web i report, when i drill down my web i report should go back to the Bex query
and should refresh the data.
Any help in this regards is greatly appreciable
Thanks in Advance,
Swaraj.

Hi,
What you described is an OLAP 'slice and dice' type workflow - try the Analysis web application (in bi4.0 launch pad). WebI can do some drill down, but it is really best at consuming small chunks of rowsets (not 'flattened' OLAP datasets)
webi does go back to hit the database, but only when you click "refresh". so you can add a new object, and it sometimes says "#TOREFRESH" - then user refreshes to expand the scope of analysis.
this process was automated in XI3.1 (where the interface didn't prompt for the refresh) and customers typically complained of slow response times. i.e. they didn't realise the inclusion of a results object fired a new query.

Bubble Chart drill down issues

I have a filter and a bubble chat with 7 series. The chart is showing up bubbles with different size and colors as per the settings when I chnage the filter
The problem is with drill down
I want to drill down to a Bar chart when I click on bubbles. Each bubble click will drill down data into that bar charchart as a pop up. I know how to do it as I have done it in the past with other components.
But when I use drill down with bubble chart, I have to assign separate destination area for each series which makes it difficult to drill down into a chart. What i want is the bubbles to drill down data into a single row so that I can map the Y-axis of chart component to that row and X axis as fixed labels. But I am not able to do that. Moreover once inserted there is no way to clear the destination cells.
However if I use data in range options in bubble chart then I can use drill down as I get only one series in that case. But that method also has limitations.
1. I am not able to display series name on the bubbles. It doesn't make any sense to show bubbles without any labels.
2. All bubbles are of same color.
Is it possible to overcome above two limitations when using data in range option?
Thanks

Hi Tarun,
as a workaround you could define a special area as mapping area for the X-Y-chart.
This area is filled via excel formulas from the bubble chart drill down destinations. You can concatenate the values from the drill down target areas, like "=A4&A5" etc. Make sure to clear all cells except the actual drill down target cells.
Hope this helps,
best regards

Unable to Drill Down for Report Designer

hellooo...I created a report using a query in Report Designer. My query is having a structure in the row and I'm using this query for the report in Report Designer. After I created this report in Report Designer, I assign this report in Web Application Designer and create a navigation pane to link this report for the drill down function. But I have problem on drill down this report in the web template when i click on this navigation pane for the free char i defined. Eg: when i drill down for the char in the free char under the navigation pane item, I cannot perform the drill down horizontally but can perform drill down vertically. After perform drill down, I don't see the values from that char being displayed in the reports. Just wondering report in report designer cannot have any drill down function? or is my query problem due to the structure i defined? thanks alotttt...

The report designer needs a fixed Column definition ( structures)
In case of drill across this requirement is not fullfilled.
This is not changable and is due to design, sorry.
so you can only drill down.
best regards,
Kai

Hi,
Try to create a Class e.g Time in universe and objects to that class as year, quarter,month as
Year Object -> data type -> D/N
select To_date('sysdate','YYYY) as year from dual
Month object-> data type -> D/N
select to_date)'sysdate','MM') as month from dual;
Quarter -> data type -> D/N
case when @select(Time/Month) in (1,2,3) then q1
         when @select(Time/Month) in (4,5,6) then q2
          when @select(Time/Month) in (7,8,9) then q4
           when @select(Time/Month) in (10,11,12) then q4
endcase
Then create a hierarch in tools -> hiearchy ->custom hierarchy and add the above class there then in any report (Deski/WebI)
you will get the above hierarchy and use it according to your requirement.
Cheers,
Suresh Aluri.

Stacked Column Chart drill down

I have a stacked column chart. Data is dynamic. Sometimes one column will have 0 as value.
I need to do a drill down on the ones which has value. In order to do a drill down everytime, I don't want my drill down to be tied to a specific serie...
How can I do that?
Thanks,
Wen

Hi Wen:
Let me do a quick demo to you so you can learn how drill down for stacked column chart works
1. Create a new stacked column chart.
2. Choose data binding "By Range" and "Data In Columns" binds to range "A1~C2", which has range data as following:
a, 1, 2
b, 3, 4
3. After finishing step 2, there will be two series created (Series 1, and Series 2)
4. Open drill down tab and check "Enable Drill Down".
5. Choose "Insert Type" as "Row".
6. Click "Series 1".
7. Bind "Source Data" to range "D1~E2" which contains value as following:
11,12
13,14
(these are the drill down value you want to insert)
8. Bind "Destination" to "D3~D4" (empty cells)
9. Create another component "Grid" under "Other" folder.
10. Bind grid data to "D3~D4" to present the drill down data.
11. Preview the xlf file, can click values in series 1, you will see the drill down result. (Grid will be refreshed with new drill down data)
Hope the demo above can help you in your practice, also you can refer to help documents for more information. Let me know if you have any other questions!
Thanks!

Bubble chart drill down

HI All,
We have 4 levels like(Continent,Country,State,Dist). Our business Req is like drill down from entity at one level to another entity at the following level.Each Entity has one to many relation ships with entities in the subsequent levels.
For Ex: One Continent will be linked to many Countries etc..
We are trying to find a solution where a click on particular continent will point to a dataset / Range of values.....
Could any one tell us how to define a range of values....
Thanks In Advance
Nithila

Hi Nithila Siva ,
This is quite same as all other chart drill down.
Here is the explanations:
You have 4 levels drill downs :Continent,Country,State,Dist that means you can have 4 bubble charts in the canvas.In the First chart display all the continents(ex: Asia,Africa etc..) select asia from the first chart it should display all the contries in the ASIA (india ,pakistan etc..) in the second chart and follow the same for rest 2 charts.
How can we do this:
From your raw data you need to filter the data and point it to different charts. you can do this by writing formulas in the excels ex : point the data of all the continents in the first chart and in the properties tab-> enable drill down->select row-> in the source give all the continents and point the destination to one particular cell,so if you select a continent that value will come and sit in the destination cell and then you have to write formulas comparing the destination cell.
Hope this helps.
let me know if you need any explanation on this.
Cheers,
Sudharam

Issues with multilevel pie chart drill down with push button

I am new to Xcelsius. I am trying to build a multilevel pie chart drill down (one pie chart drilling down to another etc) and I am able to achieve that. Now I want to add a Back Button using Push Button so that I can go up. When I preview, the Push Button goes into two state and I have to double click to go back. Can anyone tell me what I am doing wrong. I am using the latest Xcelsius. [The source code is here|http://www.woofiles.com/dl-195360-3lTyVM8Z-piechartdrilldownwithpushbutton.xlf]
Thankyou.

Hi Murali
This is exactly the same what i tried to do,
Drill down to 4 levels State -> City-> store etc with 4 pie charts and similar push button to close each level to
go back to previous chart, first run from 1 to 4 works fine, then after closing all the levels and when i am at the pie chart 1
if i click any pie slice it will jump to Pie chart 4 straight,
I tried tracking the issue, all i could find is some how the previous dynamic visibility values are back even after erasing
the data with the PUSH button (Destination cell insertion with blank or 0).
did you find a solution for this issue ?
Thanks
Chandra

SharePoint PPS Hide null or blank value in performancePoint chart drill down.

Hi,
I am using SharePoint Performance Point Service. Hide null or blank value in Performance Point chart drill down.
Thanks & Regards
Poomani Sankaran

Hi Hyaron,
I am unable to reproduce the issue in my test environment. How did you add the drilldown feature? Were you doing that by setting visibility of the column or of the group? Please ensure to add the drilldown functionality by set the visibility of the workgroup
from the Grouping Pane in the Report Designer.
How did you add the Interactive Sorting on the headers of the two columns? Based on the drilldown functionality, the Interactive Sorting on the second column doesn’t work. So, you can move the Interactive Sorting on the second column. When configuring the
Interactive sorting on the first column, you should set the parent group to sort, and sort by the field that the parent group groups by.
Hope this helps.
