OBIEE 11g: Gauge (Bulb) Conditional Formatting

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to conditionally format a bulb gauge based on a dimension value = presentation variable?
I conditionally formatted the column in question and then put it as the "row" of the gauge but the gauge didn't inherit the formatting.
Does anyone know how I could do this?
To be honest, what I'm really trying to do have a set of stop light metrics (green/yellow/red) across the top of the report. Each one gives you quick insight into how they are performing, and then you can click on them to refresh all the metrics on the existing dashboard to that particular metric.
For example:
Metric 1 Metric 2 Metric 3 Metric 4
Green Yellow Red Green
(other graphs and details about metric 1 as default, but when users click on the other metrics, all reports refresh to show details about the other metrics).
I'm envisioning something more like a glorified column selector. The goal is that you can see everything at a high level and then view specifics if you think the situation warrants that. The bulb gauges are pretty to look at and give the right feel but I'm not getting the right functionality out of them.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?
Thanks!

OBIEE 11g Report Level Conditional Filters

Is it possible to have conditional filtering of data in obiee answers once data is retrieved.
i.e without hitting the database again.
e.g I have the sales details for a region. Once the report is displayed in dashboard, can the users filter records based on sales figures > 10,000 etc?
thanks

Hi,
I understand that you want the cache to have the latest data instead of stale data. For the BI server to have the Latest Data the only way is to get the latest data from Database, so it has to hit the DB. We cannot help it ,but we can control when it can hit and the number of times according to our usage and the changes to the DB.
We can use the seeding cahe option to keep the cache up to date (Using Agents), the time interval is your wish(Generally right after the ETL load).

Formatting Totals in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
we have a requirement to format the totals of a table in obiee 11g.
When I format the totals, the formatting selections I made is not applied for all the entire totals section.
If the table has more than one dimension values in it, the formatting changes on Totals section is applied only for the first cell in the section.
However, the formatting changes of Totals section are fine for the measures added.
Please refer the screenshot in the below url
http://tinypic.com/r/346q4p1/6
In the screenshot, I expect the cell under Month dimension in the Totals row to have grey color as the back ground.
Could someone help me out with this issue.

Pavan K.

Can you share your code that helps to understand issue.
Appreciate if you update your other post and helps you to get responses ;)

Conditional Formating colors not printed

I have an OBIEE Report that has conditional formating to display results with background colors based on the values like if actuals is greater than goal then display the number in green and if below the goal then red etc. What I am seeing is that when I display the report (Table view) on dashboard on IE6 browser, it shows all the conditional formatting colors on the dashboard but when I do print preview, the colors are lost. When printed, it prints the report without the colors. I developed the reports in IE8 version and when I view and print from IE8 browser, it prints with colors. I feel it might be a bug or incompatibility with IE6 but am not sure about that. Is there any way to resolve this issue. This report will be viewed on IE6 browser and upgrading the company wide browser is not an option.
Environment - Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4, OS: Windows, Browser - Internet Explorer 6
Thanks in advance

OBIEE 11g : Conditional formatting in Chart view based on different column

Hi ,
I would like to add formatting to the bars based on another column.
Ex: I just want to highlight bars(metric) when it is less than target value.
We have conditional formatting option in charts but , its working on the same column but not comparing with other columns.
Thank you..

Hi, If you have column A and column B , and for example you want the values of column A to get formatted if the the correspoding value of column B less than a specific value. You just go to Criteria -> Get to Column A -> Column Properties -> Conditional Format -> Add Condition -> Choose your Column B , and then make sure the condition is " Less than the value you want"
Now, In case you want the values of your column A to be formatted if they are less to the corresponding value of colum B, Well, I don't think it is natively integrated, but still, here is an idea :
You drag again your column B , so that in Criteria -> Selected Columns , you'll have the columns A - B - B , then, you go to the newely added B Column -> Edit Formula and modify the formula to be ColumnA Minus ColumnB.
Then go back in selected columns to your A Column -> Column Properties -> Conditional Format -> Add Condition -> Choose now the new column ( ColumnA Minus ColumnB ), and then make sure the condition is " Less than the value *0* "
You can later, go and hide the colum A Minus B from Edit View in Results.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

OBIEE 11g - help formatting graphs / trellis displays

Hi, in OBIEE 11g I'm trying to display a simple trellis graph of win % for various baseball teams over a 10 year period. On the trellis - I would like to NOT show the vertical scale or horizontal scale. I.e. vertical currently showing 20%, 40%, etc. up to 100%, and horizontal showing 2001, 2002, etc.
Is there any way to turn off the scales on the various axis? I can turn off the "labels" so that it doesn't put the word "Year" under the horizontal axis, but I haven't been able to figure out how to actually turn off the year values.
This pretty much holds even on a "normal" non-trellis graph - I can't see how to turn off the axis values there either.
Thanks!
Scott

OBIEE 11g default pivot formatting changes

Hi, in OBIEE 11g, there are several default pivot table formatting options that we would like to disable - I don't want end users to have to do this manually:
#1 - All cells that are not in the "Measures" area have a default tan background applied to them
#2 - All cells that are not in the "Measures" area have a "fade" color that gets dark near the bottom of the cells
Does anyone know how to disable these?
Thanks!
Scott

I did not get a chance to work on 11g yet, which is really not good :), but I am guessing you can do this by conditional formatting as in 10g. If you want to custom format a column/heading you can do it by formatting/conditional formatting. If you talking about the OOTB colors, then you might have to edit CSS files.
Sorry dude..I wish I worked on 11g and know this.

Using conditional formating on member columns in essbase hirarchy in obiee

Hi All,
I ws analysing an existing sample PnL report in obiee 11g.
Wht I found that there is conditional formating used on 'Balance' member column based on one of the member column (net income) from 'income statement' hirarchy of essbase cube. I tried to open the 'Conditional Format' tab and tried to look into the conditional formating based on the columns above. Wht I noticed that , in the filter, some values are uses such as equal to is in 300000 and so on.. I thought of editing the value to specify another value, but could not edit the value as it is non editable.
Can anyone tell me how to specify such value.? I tried to furhter investigate and found that is is actually comming from net income member, but I am not able to edit it modify it.. I wanted to used this formatting feature in my another report which I created from scratch, but not able to understand how to do it..
Any help, please?
Thanks and Regards

Hi Dhar,
Thank you for your quick reply.
I have added couple of screenshot to flickr to clarify my problem: http://www.flickr.com/photos/93812026@N07/
Picture 1:
Yes, your assumption is correct. We are using gen x level members in report, but these members are shared members or Dynamic calculations i.e. we have created custom account hierarchy for them.
Picture 2:
Basic situation, when I query that hierarchy. I.e. it returns account names for both members in the hierarchy. Furthermore, so far I have used only one pair of account, i.e. WOC
Picture 3:
I'm able to "merge" these two account members simply by adding "case when" statement to account dimension object. It shows values correctly in a table (picture 4)
Picture 5:
BUT, when adding other accounts to query filter, the returned values are no longer correct, but some sort of multiplication.
--> it seems, that OBIEE cannot figure the context it should do the calculation against and I don't know how to define it there.
Ps. Next step was, that we tried to use dashboard prompt to return correct values to calculations, but after being able calculate correctly values for these above mentioned accounts, we ran into problem, when trying to add entity level to dashboard prompt (OBIEE gave an error refering Essbase). I believe this is a bug in this version.

WHERE condition in OBIEE 11g

HI gurus,
How can I use a WHERE condition in obiee 11g in the Column formula or in the BMM layer in the repository .
Thanks in advance
Reg,
Niv

Hi,
In the Column formula, the functions like Case When clause (Category: Expressions) can always be used in the building the expression.
For the above, there is always two options
1. Derived from Physical Mappings - this will list only the physical tables that are pulled into the LTS of the logical table
2. Derived from existing columns using an expression - this will list all the Logical tables in the RPD
If you want to apply the filter i.e where clause on the entire table, then go to Content Tab of the LTS
Enter your WHERE clause filters in the section - Use this "WHERE clause".....
The above modifications will apply where clause on all the columns

How to update the default date format in OBIEE 11G.

Hi All,
How to change the default date format in OBIEE 11g from the MM/DD to DD/MM. Could anyone please help me out ASAP?
Thanks,
Arpan

Hi Arpan
OBIEE 11g is having " localedefinitions.xml " file at this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display
in my case i installed at C:\Oracle\MIddleware.
so
1- Stop BI Server from EM
2- Navigate to this Location C:\Oracle\Middleware\Oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\display. in your case oracle home will be different
3- take a backup of this file localedefinitions.xml "
4- modify it and save
5- bring BI Server up.

Issues with less than and grater than condition in prompts in OBIEE 11g,

Hi all,
i am facing the prombles with less than grater than conditions in OBIEE 11g.
i created two date prompts with presentation variables datefrom and dateto
and i used these prompts in fileters like this using grater than and less than symbol.
filters are as below:
lastupdated date is grater than or equal to @{datefrom}{1/1/1950}
lastupdated date is less than or equal to @{dateto){1/1/1950}
and created two prompts
creation datefrom >=
creation dateto<=
when i passing the dates 05/12/2004 and 05/12/2005 in prompts after clicking the apply button in OBIEE 11g it feches all the records but i need records between these dates. and one more thing is after clicking apply button the two date fields getting the same date..

Thanks
Edited by: BI_user on Oct 12, 2011 2:10 AM

Hi,
Create date prompts with operator as = not >= (or) <= as you need to save that value in presentation variable and you are filtering report using those variable filters.
