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).

OBIEE 11g: Row level conditional formatting

HI,
I have created one calculated item in pivot table view. i.e like A/B*100=25%
Is it possible to % symbol on side of the value like below.
product Revenue

Value A/B*100 5%
is for any new column or as Summary?

OBIEE 11g Report UI not showing data

Hi,
On Obiee 11g Report, the query hit by the report at the backend shows results for all the columns but on UI only few of these columns show the data. From Query log, when I run the same query in the database I see all columns have data which is somehow not showing up on the UI end. What could be the problem? Can this be resolved or is it a bug in the OBIEE 11g?
Regards
VM

Hi Vanaja M/Gurus,
Is that your problem resolved?
I'm facing same issue here.
I was checking for solution/suggestions in blogs, but unfortunately i couldn't find much information in blogs too....
Can you help me out to cross this hurdle, as this issue is in Production.

ToolTip in OBIEE 11G Reports when we hover on its data!!

Hello gurus,
I have a requirement where I have to display ToolTip in OBIEE 11G reports when one hovers on its data. For example, If I have a column in a report which displays "serial no." say the data in column is 1,2,3,4,5 etc. when I hover on 1, it should display name corresponding to it. when I hover on 2, it should display another name.
These values which will be displayed on hover action can be hardcoded, they are static values.
Thanks in advance !!

Hi User,
Try this , Goto Column Properties of a particular Column ->Data Format->Check mark "Override Default Data Format" and select
Treat Numbers As : Custom
In Custom Numeric Format, Copy paste this code: [html]<p title=\""Comments which you want to Mention" \">#
Please Mark helpful if it is correct.

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

OBIEE 11g Report-When drilling down to lower level, totals are not matching

Hi All,
I am creating a report in Analytics 7.9.6.3 , OBIEE 11g - Let’s say Budget Cost/Actual Cost based on the Date Dimension
Have selected the Fiscal Year Dim, Fact Budget Cost, Fact Actual Cost
FY BCost ACost
2011 100 120
2012 150 140
Total 250 260
But here when I am drilling down from Year to Quarter and Period - The values are not matching with the totals....
FY FY Qrt BCost ACost
2011 2011 Q1 80 100
2011 Q2 100 90
2011 Q3 110 120
2011 Q4 90 130
Total 380 440
Fiscal Year, Fiscal Quarter Budget Cost and Actual Cost are not returning correct results – When selecting cost's by fiscal year, or filtering on a specific fiscal year, the amount returned does not equal the fiscal year total;
when I am drilling down to Quarter and Period Level the BCost & ACosts are bumping the Numbers as above and not matching with totals
Any suggestions?

Check out the query in both the times.Execute against database and try to sum the data for quarter/period and compare it with Year data.
Just try to differentiate is it a report total that is getting wrong or the data in the database table itself is getting wrong stored.
Mark as helpful if it helps.

Data Level Security In OBIEE 11g based on the filters setup in RPD

Hello All,
We are trying to implement the data level security on a BI publisher report that is using BI server as the data source. The filters are created in the RPD based on user login ( session variable USER). From the documentation of BI publisher, I see that you have to enable the option Use Proxy Authentication to pass the user information down to BI publisher from OBIEE when using BI server as the data source to implement row-level security. After checking that option, the BI pub report does not render anymore. This is all in 11g. Can anyone help me with where I am going wrong?
Regards,
-Amith.

Obiee 11g : Best practice for filtering data allowed to user

Hi gurus,
I have a table of the allowed areas for each user.
I want to show only the data facts associated with these allowed areas.
For instance my user scott can see France and Italy data.
I made a variable session. I put this session variable in a filter.
It works ok but only one value (the first one i think) is taken in account (for instance, with my solution scott will see only france data).
I need all the possible values.
I tried with the row wise parameter of the variable session. But it doesn't work (error obiee).
I've read things on internet about using stragg or valuelistof but neither worked.
What would be the best practice to achieve this goal of filtering data with conditions by user stored in database ?
Thanks in advance, Emmanuel

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 Presentation Level Session Logging

Hi All
I have migrated OBIEE 10g to 11g in which everything is working fine.But when i am looking into the session for physical query in analytics ,iam getting the logical query . i.e. the query on the subject areas instead of the exact physical query.Can anybody help me in this to find my exact physical query.
Advance Thanks

Hi,
Go to Manage> Identity> double click the required user > click on Permission Button > click on Data Filters tab > there select the required column,
here year column > then set the filter year =2006,07,08.
for another user follow the same steps then set the filter year= 2009,10,11.
so when the user login he can only see the restricted data.
please mark if Helpful/correct.

Filter value based on Date in OBIEE 11g, Reporting Issue

Hi,
I have following tables
Dim_Item
Dim_Loc
Fact_Price-Item_Key,Loc_Key,Date_Key,Reason_Code,Amount,Load_date
Reason Code is the code which discribes the reson behind price change
Amount- price of Item at particular location (Note: one item can have different price at different location)
Load Date - When ever there is price change for a particular item at particular location new record is inserted in the fact load date represents the date on which the data is updated
Item_key Loc_key Date_key Reason_Code Amount Load_Date
1                  1        20131113                  0          1400    13/11/2013
1                  1        20131115                  6          1100    15/11/2013
2                  1        20131112                  0          900      12/11/2013
2                  2        20131112                  0          1200    12/11/2013
2                  2        20131113                  3          325      13/11/2013
My report requirement is
Report should show only the Item & location for which there is price change
Report should be like
Item Loc Orignal_Amt Changed_Amt
1       1         1400           1100
2       2         1200            325
I have tried to calculate Orignal_Amt by taking Min(Load_Date) & Changed_Amt by taking Max(Load_Date) but result is not correct
I need to min(Load_Date) or max(load_date) for an Item at particular location
i.e it should be like min(load_date by item_key,loc_key)
max(load_date by item_key,loc_key)
then I can filter out Amount based on this min & max value.
How can I achive this, is there any other approach to achive this
Thanks
Sameer

Hi,
Does this approach with comparing prices in the first and last date of the period actually indicates the price change?
What about the sample data below - is considered to be a price change or not?
Item_key Loc_key Date_key Reason_Code Amount Load_Date
2                  2        20131110                  0          325     12/11/2013
2                  2        20131111                  0          1100    12/11/2013
2                  2        20131112                  0          1200    12/11/2013
2                  2        20131113                  3          325      13/11/2013
Option #1:
Use 2 requests:
Req1 selects surrogate key for the first and last record by load date for each location and product. Surrogate key is just a concatenated expression of Item_Key, Loc_Key and Load_Date fields (use separators between them).
For this request you need to filter out all other dates but first and last - use Rank function with BY clause. It will be 2 calculated fields: RANK(Date_Load BY Item_Key, Loc_Key) = last date, RANK(-Date_Load BY Item_Key, Loc_Key) = first date. Select records having any of these ranks=1.
In result this request should return up to 2 records for each product-location combination with surrogate key, something like this for my example:
Item_key Loc_key Date_key Reason_Code Amount Load_Date          KEY
2                  2        20131110                  0          325     12/11/2013      LOC:2;ITM:2;DT:20131110
2                  2        20131113                  3          325      13/11/2013     LOC:2;ITM:2;DT:20131113
In fact, it could be more than 2 records in case there are more than 1 change in a day for the price and no time stored on date field. This is up to you how to eliminate duplicates.
Now you have another request, resulting one, which is filtered by Req1 using the same surrogate key expression. Orignal_Amt =Min(Amount), Change_Amt = Max(Amount). Apply a filter to find records with different values between them.
In result, if product price is the same in the beginning and end of period (or it is single record) - these records will be filtered out, otherwise you get them in the report.
Option #2:
Play around with logical SQL under Advanced tab, it allows you to write requests with joins (as regular SQL does).
This is sort of desperate option as such an analysis is hard to maintain (make modifications to it).
