Multiple facts on one report

We have three fact tables Daily Sales, daily shipments and Monthly Sales Projections:.
They all have common dimensions like Data, Region and Product.
Say I have the following
Daily Sales: Date, Product, Sales amount
Daily Shipments: Date, Product, Region, Shipped amount
Monthly Sales Projections: Month, Product, Region, Projected Sales
Date: Date, Month, Quarter, etc..
How do I get to show all three on one Measure in the Subject area/Presentation layer?
Do I do the complex joins in the BMM layer? In one diagram?
Do I do three separate star schemas with their aliases (only one set of aliases for the Dimensions in the Physical layer?
Please do answer. i promise to mark all helpful replies.

Hi,
you can use the different sections for different paper orientation. So you can use the header section for your portrait layout and the main section for your landscape orientation.

Results of multiple queries in one report

Hi
I would like to create one report with multiple rows and each row should display result of a different query.
I guess I can use multiple report on one region or multiple regions in one place.
(1)However is there a more elegant way of creating a single report look and feel...eg like it would happen in excel.
(2)Is it better to have one page with multiple regions or multiple reports in one region.
Thanks
Faizi

I'm not sure if it suite your needs,
but maybe you can use UNION in your queries to get them together in one report ??
Second option:
Denes did great work and he created some how-to about putting mulitple reports in one region:

Hope this helps.

SQL multiple selects in one report?

Hello,
I'm having a problem selecting from the following table (let's call it the dpt_user_role) to be able to create a custom report,
The table looks like the following:
Dpt_id User_id User_is_manager
1 1001 N
1 1002 Y
1 1003 N
2 1001 Y
2 1005 N
2 1006 N
3 1001 Y
3 1007 N
3 1008 N
I would like to build a custom query to fit in just one report that would give me the following results for user_id 1001
Dept_id User_id User_is_manager
2 1001 Y
2 1005 N
2 1006 N
------ (line from the custom report template separating dpts) ------
3 1001 Y
3 1007 N
3 1008 N
As you can see I need to select all the depts where user_id :PX_USER is a manager but also the non manager users in that report.
Any help pointing me in the right direction will be greatly appreciated and sorry for the inconvenience.
Thanks.
Best regards,
NJ

Hello,
Thank you for your fast answers and for helping.
The result of the query returns,
2 1001 Manager
2 1005 Non-Manager
2 1006 Non-Manager
------ (line from the custom report template separating dpts) ------
3 1001 Manager
3 1007 Non-Manager
3 1008 Non-Manager
But I really need something like
Dept_id Manager User_is_manager
2 1001 Y
Dept_id Non-Manager User_is_manager
2 1005 N
2 1006 N
------ (line from the custom report template separating dpts) ------
Dept_id Manager User_is_manager
3 1001 Y
Dept_id Non-Manager User_is_manager
3 1007 N
3 1008 N
So I could pass the results to the custom report like
[begin of template report]
Manager of Dept #Dept_id# is #Manager#
Non managers users are #Non-Manager#
------ (line from the custom report template separating dpts) ------
[end of template report]
And the report would go to Dept_id = 3 and so on. I would have to perform an inner join of some sort to get the Manager and Non-Manager users first and last names from a different table.
Is this all possible in a single query or am I in hyperspace here?
May the good winds of fortune keep blowing your way and inspiring you.
Thank you!
Best regards,
NJ

Multiple Queries in one Report

What is the best way to show the data of 2 queries in one report?

Hi Frank,
It purely depends on the reporting needs I would say. You could simply add the two queries, create joins in Crystal Reports and drag the required fields in the details section.
The joins in this case, however, would be executed by Crystal Reports, unlike when the report is created off a Relational database.

PDF Maker in Excel 2003 prompts to save multiple files for one report

It seems each time i try to PDF multiple tabs I end up having to save more than one copy of the report in order to get all the sheets in PDF form. I then have to merge all the PDF copies into one file and save it. Does anyone know why it is generating multiple reports for the tabs in excel and how to get all the tabs to load as one PDF file from the get-go?

Jeffrey and Karen ... I've used Preview for years but recently upgraded to OS Snow Leopard (I am reluctant to change software!). I used to freely drag and drop pages from the sidebar one pdf file open in Preview to the sidebar of another - as you recommend - without problem. Now if I do that, the caption in the bar at the top of the document says "2 documents, 5 (or whatever) open pages", and I can't save the whole thing as one document - Preview wants to save the tranferred pages as their own document. What has changed? What am I not understanding here?

How to generate one report in multiple formats with FOP or BIP?

Hi all,
Is it possible to generate multiple formats of one report in a single "call" using Apache FOP or BI Publisher? (something similar to reports bursting).
Right now I can only select one format at a time.
Thank you,
Ana-Maria

Hi Ana-Maria,
When you enable printing on a report region or add a button to download a report query to your application, then you get a single document download. How would you see this working with "multiple formats"? Given that APEX is a development environment, you can pretty much implement anything you like. The built-in printing capabilities in APEX come with an API that allow for customization of the default functionality, e.g. you can use apex_util.download_print_document to dynamically assign report layouts at rumtime or to use you own XML data sources or XSL-FO style sheets. More relevant to you question though, there's also apex_util.get_print_document. What that allows you to do is to generate report documents inside the database and e.g. store them in database tables or email them out to a list of recipients. You can call this API as often as you like to, requesting any combination of available report formats.
The API function is documented here:

Multiple facts with non-conforming dimensions

Hi, I have a question re: using multiple facts in a report, where one of the facts has a non-conforming dimension.
I have two metrics: "PAYROLL" and "UNRECONCILED DIFFS". The payroll metric is at the employee level, but the "UNRECONCILED DIFFS" is not. Here's what I've done so far:
1. Set up a single logical fact table in the business layer
2. Created 2 LTSs. One has "employee" level, one has "all employees" (i.e. the grand total level)
3. Created metrics for PAYROLL and UNRECONCILED DIFFS, each pointed to the proper LTS
4. Set the "employee" hierarchy level for "UNRECONCILED DIFFS" to the "all employees" level
This is working...kind of. If I have three employees with a payroll amount of $1000, and there is a $500 unreconciled diff, the report shows up like:
Employee Payroll UnrecDiff
Emp1 $1000 $500
Emp2 $1000 $500
Emp3 $1000 $500
Total $3000 $500
Here's what I'm wondering...instead of having the unreconciled difference repeated for each employee...is there any way it can just be $0 or (even better) NULL, but then still show up as $500 in the total line?
Thanks!
Scott

Hi
The problem you describe is similar to mine (I wrote several threads ago).
That is, if there is a non-conformed dimension in a report then the column from the fact table which is not connected with those non-conformed dimensions containes zeros or blanks.
Was this problem solved? I didn't quite catch one of previuos messages... If you can please repeat it more detailed.
What I tried to do is to set Total level in the Content tab (LTS properties). In this example - I could set Total level to JOBS in the plan type dimension. But it didn't help.
So if you know what to do then please describe it here...

OBIEE report from multiple facts at different levels

Currently we need to develop a report with columns from 3 different facts surrounded with conformed and non conformed dimensions at different levels.
After setting the hierarchial levels and putting the facts into single logical table with different sources OBIEE is generating 2 different queries and does a full outer join.
I would like to know how we can do a left outer join instead of full outer join between the 2 queries based on a common column?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Vinod,
The scenario provided in the link above doesnt match to my issue.
We need to develop a report from multiple fact tables at different levels with conformed & non conformed dimension columns.
I have 7 dimensions D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6 and D7 & two fact F1 and F2 tables.
F1 is tied to dimensions D1,D2,D3,D4,d5
F2 is tied to dimensions D3,D4,D5, D6 and D7.
In my report I have columns from D1, D2, D3, D4, D5, D6, D7, F1 and F2.
So OBIEE generates 2 queries with columns from D1,D2,D3,D4,d5 & F1 measure and another query with D3,D4,D5, D6, D7 and F2 measure.
and then does a cross fact join out of box between 2 queries.
But I need to do a left outer join between the 2 queries on a common column instead of cross fact join. I would like to know how we can achive this.
Thanks.

Multiple Facts at the same report

Hello gurus,
How can I use multiple facts at the same report using OBIEE 10g?
I followed the instructions of this website but it's not working...
http://obibb.wordpress.com/2010/05/31/multiple-fact-reporting-on-non-conforming-dimensions/
Physical Model:
ASSET (DIMENSION) ------------ ASSET (FACT) ----------------- PERSON (DIMENSION) ----------------- CAMPAIGN (FACT) ---------------- CAMPAIGN (DIMENSION)
Business Model:
ASSET (DIM) ---------------- FACT ------------------- CAMPAIGN (DIM)
                           (ASSET - CAMPAIGN)
                                        |
                                        |
                                        |
                                        |
                              PERSON (DIM)
Asset and Campaign: Non conformed Dimensions;
Person: Conformed Dimension;
Note that I want to use at my report some asset and campaign informations to answer questions like:
Wich assets were created after the campaign launch? or List of asset by person and campaigns.
Is it possible to do? I'm trying to change all kinds of column levels (Total/Detail) and it keeps sending an error like:
"Internal error: No matching table for expr Fact_W_CAMP_HIST_F_Teste.SOURCE_WID, File server/Query/Optimizer/SmartScheduler/PhysicalRequestGenerator/Src/SQOSPSimplifyJoin.cpp, line 118."
Thank you in advance.
Ramon Cortez

Hello,
Thank you for your help.
Now I'm getting this error: "None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request Fact.SOURCE_WID". ---> Fact.CAMPAIGN_WID
I'm actually not sure about the behaviour of the content tab. As I understood, I must use Total for non-conformed dimensions and detail for conformed, right?
In this case I have:
ASSET (DIMENSION) ------------ ASSET (FACT) ----------------- PERSON (DIMENSION) ----------------- CAMPAIGN (FACT) ---------------- CAMPAIGN (DIMENSION)
So, at Asset (FACT) content tab I have to set detail for Asset (DIM) and Person (DIM) and total for Campaign (DIM).
At Campaign (FACT) content tab I have to set detail for Campaign (DIM) and Person (DIM) and total for Asset (DIM).
But at the columns, if I set detail for Campaign(DIM) as total, all the other columns will show only Campaign at content tab. Why is it happening?
My requeriment measure is like:
SUM(CASE WHEN Asset.Date1 BETWEEN Campaign.DateA and Campaign.DateB AND Asset.Product = Campaign.Product and Asset.Status = 'Active' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
How can I do this using person as conformed dimension?
Thanks,
Ramon Cortez

How to run multiple sqls in one jasper report

Hello!
Is there any one that can help me in integrating/ viewing my xml file to the web. I have my GUI in jsp format, the jsp makes a call to the bean class and then finally bean class hit my reports java class.The report java class generates the report and shows it in the new window.
The problem is with writing mutiple sql queries and showing the result from multiple sql queires in one report.
I do not know how to write multiple queries for just 1 report. I can give a simple example of my problem also.
My report is as follows:
First Name Middle Name Last name
Sandeep Pathak
Now First and Middle Name come from 1st sql query and Last Name comes from 2nd sql query.
I want to join the result obtained from both the sql queries in one Jasper Report (not as 2 separate sections but as one section).
My problem is how to view my report in the web. furthermore, how to make complex query in jasperassistant, like multiple table in one query, because i�m integrating multiple query in one form or sheets of paper.
Please help me in this.
Thanks
Sandeep

Hi Sheldon,
we never have issues when we combine standard objects, like a cliear with a load inforprovider, or the master data integration you mentioned in your document. However, from the moment we combine a script logic with a standard package (like a move) it does not work .The data package contains the task needed for the script and for the move. the process chain is called up but always comes in error in the first step (BPC modify dynamically ) ... there is also no log when checking the view status ...
I can sent you some screenshots if you like ...

Join multiple fact tables and dimensions and use all tables in report issue

Hi,
I have a report requirements and need to use multiple fact tables and unconformed dimensions as described below
Fact table: F1,F2,F3
Dimensions tables: D1.....D9
F1:(joined to) D1,D2,D3,D4
F2::(joined to)D1,D2,D5,D6
F3::(joined to)D1,D2,D7,D8
D7::(joined to)D9,D8 (dimension D7 joined to two other dimensions D9 and D8
I'm trying to use columns from almost all the fact and dimension tables but getting "Unable to navigate requested expression. Please fix the metadata consistency warnings."
Repository is consistent and no errors and warnings.
How can I configure the repository to develop reports using all fact tables and dimensions?
Appreciate for your help.
Thanks
Jay.

So you want me to convert snowflake schema to star. does it solve my problem? individual star queries are working find but when I query multiple stars together getting inconsistency errors. I removed content tables dim level totals for unconformed dimensions in logical fact LTS and set level for measures at total level for unconformed dimensions. it is still in progress and need to test.
Thanks

Exporting to multiple PDF's from one report

I have a requirement to create multiple PDF's from one report.
My thought is that I can I can create a foreach loop that cycles through one of my groups. I would then like to have each file have the name of that group.
If anyone could help me on how to code this in C# that would be great. I need to know where I should be putting this code (program.cs or crystalreport.cs) and how I run it. I am assuming I don't need the viewer for this function, since this is all on my end and no users need to have access to it.
My other requirement is to have each of these reports be put into their own folders at C:\. Thanks for the help in advance!

OK. Yup, you should be able to do this. When I was reading the initial post it looked like you might have ben wanting to export only a certain section of a report (which is a no go).
Anyhow, first thing you want to do is apply Service pack 3:
https://smpdl.sap-ag.de/~sapidp/012002523100007123572010E/cr2008_sp3.exe
Next, you want to look at a few sample apps and go over some docs. What you want to achieve can be done by using parameters or selection formulas.
A good coding resources is the [Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2005 Walkthroughs|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/2081b4d9-6864-2b10-f49d-918baefc7a23]. Don't worry about the title, it will apply to CR 2008 also.
Next, sample apps can be downloaded from here:
https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/BOBJ/CrystalReportsfor.NETSDK+Samples
[CR 2008 developer library|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/crsdk_net_dg_12_en.chm]
[API reference|http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir31/en/crsdk_net_apiRef_12_en.chm]
Not sure if you are thinking of this being a web app, but here are some resources for that:
[Interactivity and Reports in Web Applications|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/208edbbf-671e-2b10-d7b5-9b57a832e427&overridelayout=true]
Before starting your project, you should have a look at [this|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/40bccdfd-88a6-2b10-1da1-c47a54b625a7] to make sure you are using the right SDK for your purposes.
Finally, the following are links to 3rd party resources and I'm adding htese just as an FYI:

When displaying multiple curves on one 2d graph in reports how do I force one curve to be in the foreground?

When displaying multiple curves on one 2d graph in reports how do I force one curve to be in the foreground? I have two signals and I want to show one overlayed on top of the other. Right now Diadem will only graph it the other way around. I have tried deleting the curves and re-adding them in differnt orders, changin the order they are in the curve list, changing their order inthe data portal, right clicking on the curve and selecting "move to forground" (this only moves the entire 2-d graph object to the foreground). Im using Diadem 12.0 Basic.
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Joe,
I figured out what causes your curves to draw in the wrong "order".
You are using two Y-axes, and DIAdem always draws the data for Y1 before Y2, no matter what the order of the curves is in the "Curve and Axis Definition" dialog.
I am attaching your layout with a small modification, I changed the Y1 and Y2 axis order (I swapped which Y-axis the data is displayed on), and I get the following result:
Once I looked at your layout it became clear why the order of the curves didn't reflect the order in which the curves were drawn. I didn't know this - so I just learned something new here as well.
I hope this answers your question, feel free to ask if there is anything else I can help you with.
