Need help on OBIEE 11g. RPD or Analytics

Question

Hello,
I have a requirement.. for which the data in columns(in database) needs to get counted based on conditions and should be displayed in Rows in the reports.
Example below
The data in the table is as shown below.. in columns
Eng_code     Math_code      Read_code
1     2     1
1     2     2
2     3     3
U     2     U
3     1     U
In the report the data should be displayed as below...
     Total
Eng     xxx
Math     xxx
Read     xxx
I dont have this Eng, Math, Read flags in the table and I have to derive them based on the columns. I'm trying to get this using a case like
case when Eng_code in ('1','2','3','U') then 'Eng'
when Math_code in ('1','2','3','U') then 'Math'
when Read_code in ('1','2','3','U') then 'Read'
But I'm getting only 'Eng' as the result. Any help would be greatly appreciated

Hi User,
It seems to be you need a Count( Engg_Code), Count(Math_code), Count(Read_code) and show all of them Under same Column Total.
Create Logical column in Rpd to calculate those counts.
Logical column 1 -> Name it as 'Total Eng Codes' -> Count(Engg_code)
Logical Column 2 -> Name it as 'Total Math codes' -> Count(Math_code)
Similarily even for Read_code.
This shows count of those values like 200, 400, 600 individual.
But, if you want to show Like Eng 200, Math 400, Read 600.....
Then cast the same column using this one Concatenate (Eng ||Total Eng Code)
similarily, all the three.
Take a column Conc(Eng || Total Eng Code) custom name : Total.
Now, using union by similar request or else, by writing case statement read other two values.
Using similar request- Take intially, one column. (Apply union - click on combine similar request)
- Now take second column.
Similarly add as many number of columns as required
