Modeling an Extension table in OBIEE 11G

Hi, I have the below scenario.
Dim X*
Col1..........Col2
1...............xxx
2...............yyy
3...............zzz
Dim Y*
Col1........Col2
1...............A
1...............B
1...............C
2...............A
2...............B
3...............C
Fact*
Col1..........Col2
1...............$10
1...............$20
1...............$30
2...............$10
2...............$20
Dim and Fact Relationship*
Dim X.Col1= Fact Z.Col1
Dim X.Col1= Dim Y.Col1
Physical Diagram*
Fact ---------------> Dim X <------------- Dim Y
............N to 1......................... 1 to N
BMM:*
I modelled as "Sales Team" logical table has 2 sources (Dim Sales Team and Dim Sales Team Member) to maintain the Star.
Fact -------> Sales Team
I want the report as below (Fact rows to be displayed by Sales Team):
Dim X.Col2 .........._Dim Y.Col2_ ................._Fact.Col2_*
...........................................A
xxx .....................................B...............................$60
............................................C
YYY......................................A ..............................$30
............................................B
But the way I designed as described above, Below is the report that I am getting:
Dim X.Col2.........._Dim Y.Col2_ ..........................._Fact.Col2_*
.............................................A.................................$10
xxx ......................................B..................................$20
............................................C..................................$30
YYY......................................A..................................$10
............................................B..................................$20
Could some one please help on how to model to achieve the desired report?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for the response Srini.
Dim Y is an Extension table of Dim X, Therefore I cannot join Dim Y to Fact Z
Consider the below scenario.
Dim X (Sales Team) & Dim Y (Sales Team Member). A single sales team can have multiple sales team members. so the relation between these two dimensions is
Dim X(Sales Team) <------------- Dim Y(Sales Team Member)
-------------------------------1 to N
ultimately, the goal is to display the report in below fashion when fields from Dim X Dim Y and Fact Z are pulled.
Dim X.Col2 .................Dim Y.Col2 .................Fact.Col2
...........................................A
xxx .....................................B...............................$60
............................................C
YYY......................................A ..............................$30
............................................B
I do not want 3 rows of fact table for XXX, it should group by Dim X.Col2 and give only one row for XXX.
Hope you understood the problem. If not, please let me know so that I can try to put in other way
Thanks again.

  • Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?

    Is it possible to have Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?
    Like 1)Year-Qtr-Month-Weeks 2)Year-Month-Days

    Hi,
    or if your lowest level is the same like
    Day->month->year->Total
    Day->businessMonth->businessyear->Total
    Then yes, it is.
    Create the first, then you start to create the second by adding your top(business year) level on the same level as the one you have (year) both under your total.
    Then when you would add your second base level, there is a special option for it, something like use other hierarchy level/shared level (sorry can't recall and does not have a connection right now) then you select your existing day level under your businessmonth level.
    Hope this helps,

  • How map to my particular table to the fact table in obiee 11g...

    Hi friends,
    I did this simple report in obiee 11g(i.e)
    "NATIONALITY COUNT IN DEPARTMENT WISE"
    For that i used the following tables:
    per_all_assignments_f----->fact table
    hr_all_organization_units----->dim table(containing departments)
    per_all_people_f---------------->dim table(containing nationality)
    I made all the mappings in the physical diagram, as also viewed my report in BI answers
    It shows the following results like
    NATIONALITY---------------------------------------------------------------------COUNT(NATIONALITY)
    AUS------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------24
    AFR------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------25
    PHQ_VB-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------40
    SH_VT----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------4
    The problem is for me it is showing the above results, but the nationality column is of various codes of the country.
    Since i doesnt want the code of the nationalitian to display in the results..i need the meaning of each and every nationality..
    like,
    AUS------------------------Australian
    AFR-------------------------African
    PHQ_VB----------------------Germanian(assigned)
    Since i know that the meaning for the nationalitian is available in "FND_LOOKUP_VALUES"...okay..
    I can import "FND_LOOKUP_VALUES" table to the physical layer...but how i can able to give the mapping to the fact table in my physical diagram...
    In my report the fact table is "per_all_assignments_f"
    As my fact table doesnt contains any matching column corresponding to the dimension table "FND_LOOKUP_VALUES".....
    Then how i can give mappings to the fact column???? for viewing the full meaning of the nationalitian in my report.....Help me friends...
    Regards,
    Harry...

    Hi bifact,
    I followed the step that U asked me to go but im stuck with later.....
    *) I saved the query that i executed in toad with the columns showing country codes and country meaning to the excel sheet...
    This is the query that i executed in toad and copied data s in excel sheet..
    select z.lookup_code, z.meaning
    from per_all_people_f e, per_all_assignments_f f, hr_all_organization_units h, fnd_lookup_values z where
    e.person_id = f.person_id and f.organization_id = h.organization_id and e.business_group_id = f.business_group_id
    and f.business_group_id = h.business_group_id and f.location_id = h.location_id
    AND z.lookup_type(+) = 'NATIONALITY'AND z.lookup_code(+) = e.nationality and sysdate between
    e.effective_start_date and e.effective_end_date and e.nationality is not null
    *) After that i created a system DSN for the excel drive..
    *) After that when i tried to import metadata of the excel data that is saved, it showed me connection failed...
    For importing this excel data
    what connection details i need to give:--------------------
    as well as user name and also password...
    Soon after importing this excel you said that to give key connection only to fnd_lookup_tables(dim) and that excel data..
    if so, again im not giving key connection to my fact table..
    I think again the same error will occur that no logical mapping is not made to fact so again repository is inconsistent...
    Hi bifact sorry to ask you, but can you see the steps that i followed is correct and after that wat more steps i need to proceed..Can you tell me in breif manner...Thanks for your help...

  • Different calculation on each column in table in obiee 11g report??

    Hi ,
    I have to display values in a table for measures in obiee 11g report which should hold different calculation on each column. For ex:
    Result 1:
    Flag  Display   Transaction  Amount
      C      'A'                 2              3
      C      'B'                 3               0
           SubTotal1            5             3
    Result 2:
    Flag  Display   Transaction  Amount
      H      'C'                 2              11
      H      'D'                  0              0
           SubTotal2          2             11
    Result 3:
    Flag  Display   Transaction  Amount
      H      'C'                 1              0
      H      'D'                  1            0
           SubTotal3          2            0
    Final Result:(Transaction shd hold :-subtotal1-subtal2 , Amount should hold:-subtotal1-subtal2+subtota3)
    Flag   Display               Transaction         Amount
    C    'total tran(1-2)              3                     8
           Total Amnt(1-2+3)'     
    Please help me how can i achieve this ... ??? I am new to OBIEE 11g.
    Thanks,
    Pavi

    There are a few things I cannot understand; I'm assuming Transaction and Amount are fact columns. Then how do they have different values for the same values of Flag and Display ??
    Anyway, sub total can be achieved by going to edit view for the table and from columns and measures area under the Layout pane click on the summation icon and select After.  This will automatically display a grand total value at the bottom of each fact column.
    Now, to get the final result, say Total Transaction you can add a dummy column and edit its formula.
         Total Transaction = trans_subtotal1 - trans_subtotal2 and
         Total Amount = amt_subtotal1 - amt_subtotal2 + amt_subtotal3
         Now if we could say that trans_subtotal1 is the total of transaction value when Flag = 'C' or something like that then you can get this value of subtotal1 by using the formula FILTER(SUM("Subject Area"."Folder".Transaction Column") USING (DESCRIPTOR_IDOF("Subject Area"."Folder"."Flag column") = 'C')).  Similarly we can obtain subtotal2 and subtract them to get the total transaction value.  But I am sure if we can do this because for the same values of Flag and Display, Transaction has different values.  But by using the above formula, the values we obtain for subtotals 2 and 3 will be the same.  So calculating Total Amount would be a problem.
    The above formula is obtained by going to edit formula and selecting the filter option at the bottom of the edit dialog box.
    Hope I made my point clear

  • Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

    I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7)  report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area.  I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page.  The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report. 
    The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
    report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
    Side note :  My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form.  I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout.  (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice). 
    I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
    Thanks
    M. Jamal

    Ok,
    I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
    I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
    This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

  • Multiple Logical Table Sources In BMM Under 1 Logical Table In OBIEE 11g

    I have a question and even after doing a lot of search on google i could not find any article so through to ask you :-
    I want to create a Logical Dimension table
    This logical dimension has columns coming from 2 different physical tables, TableA and TableB. The relationship between TableA to TableB is 1 to zero.
    There are 2 ways to create the logical dimension :-
    1) Go to the logical table source properties of TableA-->then there + sign click and then add TableB right outer join with tableA.
    Here in the logical table source we see only one table tableA.
    2) Drag the tableB column so that we have 2 logical table source.
    Please try this to explain without using the concept of fragmentation and without considering the fact tables. I have this question for simple logical dimension tables only.
    I wanted to know which is the right way and what requirement/factor decides what to do ?

    Check this post

    or if your lowest level is the same like
    Day->month->year->Total
    Day->businessMonth->businessyear->Total
    Then yes, it is.
    Create the first, then you start to create the second by adding your top(business year) level on the same level as the one you have (year) both under your total.

  • Dynamically sourcing a table from 2 tables in obiee 11g

    Hello,
    I am a rookie trying to learn OBIEE and I really need your help in creating rpd from  the Oracle_Bi_Sample_app.
    It has 2 tables Time_mth and Time_day.
    How can I source those 2 tables dynamically into one table as a single  logical table in the physical layer itself?
    Also it is suggested to create that table in physical layer itself  right?  And should it exist as a separate table / view or ALias?
    Please help.
    Thanks
    Sai

    How can I source those 2 tables dynamically into one table as a single  logical table in the physical layer itself?
    You have to do it in BMM layer by adding these two as LTS to one Logical table..
    Also it is suggested to create that table in physical layer itself  right?  And should it exist as a separate table / view or ALias?
    Best way is to import the physical tables once and create as many Alias tables as much depends on your Requirement..

    Try this:
    Put the Measure Labels in the Rows section, the Company column in the Columns section, and your Measures in the Measures section.

  • 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!

  • Need to eliminate Space between two Pivot table view  in OBIEE 11g

In a single report I have two Pivot table with two different column, I placed both of them one after another, but I need to eliminate the space between two pivot table views as if it should show as a single pivot table in OBIEE 11g.
    Could anyone please let me know how I can do this in OBIEE 11g?
    Thanks in Advance

    If I create narrative view it will be another view. And if I put that in between that two pivot view, it will show the space. I need to remove space between two pivot table within a single report so that it can appear as a single pivot view.
