#Multivalue error with merged dimension

Hello Experts,
I have a report which has two queries 1 and 2. Query 1 has Year,Month,DB,UserID and NOQ(measure) obejcts. Query 2 has User ID and Username Objects.
The requirement is to display Username along with UserID and other objects in Query 1.
I have merged UserID from both queries and the merged object is named as "LANID" and non merged dimensions are created as Detail Objects for year month and DB with associated dimension as LANID.
If I drag year-detail,month-detail,DB-detail,UserID (from LANID) and Username,I get #MULTIVALUE error in month column for User IDs which have multiple records for the same year,different months and same DB.
I came across a similar thread,http://www.forumtopics.com/busobj/viewtopic.php?p=856502 where Dave Rathbun mentions that merged dimensions work only where there is unique record or same level of granularity between two dataproviders which is not the case here.
Request you to share any workarounds (asap) to achieve this.
Thanks,
Sowrabha

Is there some sort of aggregation occurring that's causing multiple values for one row?
Check the table settings and select "avoid duplicate row aggregation" and see if that helps.
Also, with merged dimensions when you're missing individual query objects with merged objects, dimensional context becomes unknown or the wrong context is assumed, so you may be able to clear up the error by adding in a dimensional context (such as [Month-Detail] In ([User ID]).
I hope that helps,
Carly

BOXIR2 FP4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Incorrect data

Issue: BOXIR2 FP 4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Max value of an object from second query is displayed in the report even when the formula is based on the object from the first Query.
Data displays properly on BOXIR2 SP2.
Steps to reproduce.
1.Use u2018Island Resort Marketingu2019 Universe to create a WebI report.
2. Create a Query with objects u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/1/2001 an Run the query.
3. Add a second Query with the same objects i.e. u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/12/2001.
4. Create a report variable MaxDate using the syntax "=Max([Query 1].[Reservation Date]) In Report"
5. Use the objects u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019, u2018Future guests Query 2u2019 and u2018MaxDateu2019 variable to create a table in the report.
You will find the Maxdate column displays Max date values of u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019 instead of u2018Reservation Date Query 1u2019.
Could you please advice me on this issue.

Hi Hiteshwar,
MaxDate variable returns a maximum of Reservation date from Query 1 i.e. 1/15/01 which is correct. If you put that variable separately it will display that date correctly but you are grouping it along with objects from the query2 thatu2019s why it is displaying correct value for Query 2 where it finds 1/15/01, but for other values WEBI canu2019t group this value as it refers its formula which contains Query 1 reservation date.
Hence we canu2019t say it is displaying values from Query 2 it is taking values from Query1 itself for 1/15/2001 and for remaining values it is taking non matching values from Query 2 with which it is grouping.
If you put that variable with objects from Query1 it wonu2019t display 1/15/01 but all values reservation date from query 1 contains because it is grouping based on reservation date though it is single max value.
Even when you write "=Max(Query 2.Reservation Date) formula and use it with objects from query 1 though it contains so many values it matches (Groups) only the values from reservation date from Query 1.and displays only those values i.e. 1/1/2001 and 1/15/01.
MaxDate returns 1/15/01 as Maximum Date value from Query 1 but Query 2 contains value far more greater than 1/15/01 hense that will be more incorrect data if WEBI displays maxdate as 1/15/01 along with Query 2 objects.
Here we can avoid this behavior by Custom SQL but MaxDate is a report level variable hence we canu2019t edit SQL.
If your data contains some duplicate values WEBI will repeat MaxDate value like
Reservation date     Restaurant           Future_Guests    Total Guests
1/1/01                          ABC                         3                   3
1/15/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
1/16/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
By default, WEBI Groups Total Guests based on the Restaurant and Reservation Date, but if we want we can group those values based only on Restaurant which will duplicate Total Guest values for Restaurant XYZ. But you report contains only one dimension with all unique Values we canu2019t group those.
I hope this is clear.

#MULTIVALUE Error while merging

Hi,
I merged two dataproviders and changed a dimension to Detail and added the detail object to the existing block.It gives me a #MULTIVALUE error.
I found an article which addresses this issue, but i failed to understand how it could be achieved.
below is the link to the article.Can someone kindly illustrate the point?
Thanks!
http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index;jsessionid=(J2EE3417500)ID2135563850DB11704404452781121703End?rid=/library/uuid/80fe4156-743f-2b10-15a9-e96f47dbab16&overridelayout=true

Sarma,
The article is trying to explain that in a previous release of WebI, that somehow merged dimensions tolerated two values to populate the same cell. With XI R2 SP2 and onward, WebI was changed to no longer tolerate a "cartesian" output and would instead put "#Multivalue" to give notice. The simple explanation of what causes #Multivalue is that you are attempting to populate a cell with two values at the same time. The hard part is in determining why it is happening. The only way to see what's happening is to get to the data, and you get to the data by creating another tab to your report for the purposes of discovery. In the new tab start a new grid and one at a time place objects from your data panel into a grid and observe what happens. Once you get a #Multivalue response, then you've identified your culprit and can then determine why it's happening. The fix is usually determining the proper metric to use in dissecting your data properly. Essentially, #Multivalue now serves its purpose as helping to keep you from "hurting yourself" in performing analysis that is not correct.
Thanks,
John

ORA-03113 error with MERGE

Hi,
I am trying to MERGE two tables with MERGE INTO but got the error ORA-03113 'end of communication channel' when more than 100 lines in the USING clause are selected.

Try using SQLPlus and see if you get the same error.

Runtime Error with MERGE

I have a mapping that compiles but produces a run-time error:

If I prefix the table name to the columns used in the ON clause, it works.
Any ideas?

Environment
OWB version 9.0.2.62.3
Oracle9i EE 9.0.1.3.0

I have recreated this and it seems to be a code generation error. The workaround I can suggest is to either rename the ON clause fields in the target table or to create a view atop of the source table in which the names of the mentioned fields will be different from the ones in the table and then extract from that view (I presume you cannot touch the source table). This problem will be fixed in the next release.

#Error & #Syntax when we are using merged dimension in BO4.1 SP3

Dear All,
We are using BO4.1 SP3 and Bex query as datasource.
When we are trying to take merged dimensions in Report block its giving #Syntax Error.
When we are defining variable with merged dimension, its giving #Error message and the merged dimension is deleted from the definition.
Please guide how can I use merged dimension.
Kindly let us know if there are some update required in the current BO version.
Warm Regards,
Sonal

First things abt merge dimension is that merge is applicable only on dimension not on measures.
And other is dimension that are going to be merge should have same data type.
I think you should check these conditions then it will works.
Merge is nothing but full outer join between two data providers. It helps joining two result sets on webi level.
Kindly attach your screen shots so that it would be helpful.

Report level filter impact on non-merged dimension

Hi Experts,
I have a problem in Webi 3.1 sp4.
We have three dataproviders from same universe. two dataproviders are linked with merged dimensions and third one is from independent table which has only one value (not related to other two data providers).
Created report with one block(block1) contained objects from first two dataproviders. Object from third dataprovider is placed on report body above block1.
Everything working fine.
If we create a report level filter with detail objects from first two dataproviders, value from third dataprovider disappears.
I don't have problem if create filter at block level.
Please help to resolve this issue.
Thanks
Akshara...

That is a previous XI version. I meant within XI 3.1 - between Support Packages, is it a change from SP03 for example?
If it is (b/ween SP03 - Sp04 ) then you should log a support message

How to create a 'System'variable to identify the system from merged dimension

Hi,
I have a webi report with merged dimensions on users and
roles. Users and Roles are coming from 3 different systems (ECC,BW,BOBJ). Now,
I don’t have the system field available in the queries to filter by the system.
So, I would like to create a variable for system where I want to be able to
identify the system (like ECC,BW,BOBJ) based on the merged “Role” dimension.
Could someone tell me , if it is possible to do that? And if so, how do I do
that? (I tried, but it's not working for me) I really appreciate your help.
Thanks,
Charvi.

HI,
You can not use inlist operator here.For inlist static values are required for comparison.I know this is not a solution for you.
For to use match operator you have to use multiple else-if conditions.I know this is time consuming but if you can not do anything from BW side then use like below formula.
=If(Match([Role];"FRP.*")) Then "ECC" ElseIf (Match([Role];"HRP.*")) Then "ECC" else"BW"
Add more conditions in the formula and if you are sure in your report there are only three type of roles.Then define condition only for ECC and BW systems in the variable and rest mark as else BO.
Thanks,
Amit

#unavailable error when using substr() on merged dimension

Hi, I'm using WEBI on SAP IK SP2 and BO SP 2, and I'm having difficulties with the Substr() function.
All the dimensions and measures are from SAP Bex Queries. The measures are all set to not delegated in the universe.
When I merge a 4 dimensions to one (from 4 different subqueries) I can display the merged dimension just fine in a table. Hovwever, when I try substring it - #unavailable appears across all measures in the table.
#unavavailble appears regardless if I subtr vi variable or directly in a table.
Please advise.
BR
Jess

Hi,
This is because your smart measure does not have a value for the defined context.
When you are using OLAP universe, by default, all your measures will be smart measures (measures with aggregation as database delegated).
When you are using these smart measures in webi report, you can not apply a formula in the dimentions defining the context of the measure. If you do so, you will get #UNAVAILABLE error.
I shall suggest to use a different aggregation in the universe for the measure.
Smart measures are used for measures with non-additive aggregation which can not be handled by webi properly.

Merge Dimension DataSync Error

I am using WEBI 4.x and the dataprovider is a BEX query.
I need to combine two related rows in the dataprovider into one row in the results.
The source data:
Field 1   Field 2   Date
ABC        100         1/1/2001
DEF        100         2/1/2001
ABC        200         3/1/2001
DEF        200         4/1/2001
I created two queries, one restricted to ABC, the other to DEF. I created a Merged Dimension on Field 2 but I get DataSync error when try to combine the fields in one table.
The requirement is to display the results as
Field 1   Field 2        Date                  ABC Date         Days Diff
DEF        100         2/1/2001              1/1/2001              31
DEF        200         4/1/2001              3/1/2001              31
Is it possible to produce these results in WEBI using Merged Dimensions or is there a better method?

I have found a solution.
I created a Detail Variable for Date with the Associated Dimension = Field2 from the ABC query and the Formula = the date field from the ABC query.
I can add this var to the table in WEBI displaying the DEF records with no DATASYNC error.
Since this step is not mentioned in Merge Dimension tutorials I could find, does this mean that when trying to merge dimensions with BICS DataProviders one must create Detail vars to display the data of the 2nd query? It doesn't seem to be necessary when using Universes.

Sales Quantity with Unit . Multivalue Error.

Dear all,
I have crosstab with sales qty in y axis and x axis is structure. when i concatenate salesqty and unit and drop it in crosstab it gives error with multivalue .please suggest solution .
x axis structure have actual plan variance columns. lets say in actual salesqty is 1000mt plan 1200box, and variance
Thanks
suresh.p

Hi Suresh,
Jus check it out where you are inserting this new variable.
Multivalue occures only if you are getting more than 1 value from a result and inserting it into one cell.
I hope you are inserting this new variable either in column or row not in a single cell.
I could understand that you are concatenate 2 measure objects. So definatly it will return multivalue if you insert it in a cell. To avoids this jus add some aggregate function before it.
This is what i could understand your scenario. Do let us know if this will work out for you.

Has Anyone have imported a cube with similar number of dimensions?
Any sugestion will be appreciated.
Thank's in advance.

Hi Jyothi,
This error usually comes because of presence of zombie ./ bad request. I would suggest you to check few of the tables and search for your request "REQU_DBCFVY9N1691OYQYNCMUGCSGM" in them if you are able to find it then delete that entry from there, there after you should not face error. Check if the request mentioned above is present in the below mentioned tables? If yes delete them from there.
RSREQICODS, RSTSODS, , RSICCONT, RSODSACTREQ.
Also check if the notes mentioned in the below thread are applicable in your case?

Custom Sort with a merged dimension in webi report

Hello,
I have a merged dimension (Year/Month - APR 2010, FEB 2010, MAR 2010, JAN 2010, ...), I need to apply a custom sort, but with a merged dimension this feature is disabled. Why? How can I solve this problem?
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
This can be solved by creating a variable for the merged dimension object.
After you have done this you can apply a custom sort

Help with #MULTIVALUE error

Hey guys, I have a simple formula:
="Results to the end of : "+[Financial Current Month Name-Year (Calendar)]
however it is displaying a multivalue error.
Any idea how to fix this?

I have found putting my formula in max() has solved this problem.
