OBIEE - Division of two columns that contain count formulas

I am trying to define a column in a report which divides a column entitled Difference (Target counts - Actual counts)by the column in the report which stores the Target counts. The Target and Difference columns contain formulas which provide the Target counts and calculates the difference between the Target counts and the Actual counts. The functions subtract and add seem to work fine, but when I use the division function I receive an incorrect result. What could I be missing here?

When you mean "incorrect results" is that associated with only Grand Totals or entire result set?
Also check if <ReportAggregateEnabled>true</ReportAggregateEnabled> is in instanceconfig.xml
If none of the options above helped you,
can you provide a sample extract containing 5 rows?

Site lookup columns that contain a list with lookup columns help needed

Here is the theoretical scenario,
I have a list called Shirts. The list contains name,color, and size columns.
I have a list called Pants This list contains name, color and size columns as well.
These two lists are contained at the root level of the site. I created site lookup columns for these two lists and used the name, color and size columns as additional fields on both lookup columns. Lets call these lkupPants and lkupShirts.
On a sub site I have a list called people. It contains name,date,lkupPants and lkupShirts columns.
The list looks something like this is dataview:
Name Date lkupPantsName lkupPantsColor lkupPantsSize lkupShirtName lkupShirtColor lkupShirtSize
This is the behavior I expected. The additional columns selected in the site lookup columns appear in the list.
I now create another site lookup column this one is based on the list called people at this subsite level. When creating the site lookup column, the data from lkupPants and lkupShirts are not available.
How can one create a lookup column that contains list data and any lookup columns contained in the list as additional fields.
If anyone can see where I am going with this, can they provide another means to accomplish what I am trying to do?
fr0stsp1re

create additional columns in people list. look up values are available in the workflow so populate the additional columns with the values you need. this will allow you to create another look up column based on this list and all the fields needed.
just a thought.

Division between two columns in pivot table in Answers

Hi all
In answers
if I have two columns in my pivot table say column A and Column B, how can I use a division of Column B by Column A to derive Column C. I am unable to do that using the "New Calculated column feature" or in the criteria section. I keep getting either 0 or 1. I even tried changing the format to show two decimal places and am still unable to get the result.
Thanks
B

Thanks,
our issue is that we want to do our calculations at the summary level (region level of the company) and not at the detail level. However we cannot do this at the aggregate level because this is a moving total for the last 7 days worth of data.
Also, Answers (even in Criteria) does not seem to be doing division properly. We are just not getting the results when we do col A/ Col C. We are in 10.1.3.4 on windows xp against SQL Server
Any ideas?

How can I correlate two columns that belong to different worksheets?

I am using beginner user of Numbers 3.2. I also thought of copying the columns of interest into a single sheet but don't know how to do so.
Advanced thanks,
Alex

Hi alexander,
If you are looking for a column that will update as your reference column changes, try this:
In the first cell of your destination column type "=" (without the quotes)
Navigate to your reference column and click the header of that column. Click the check in the formula editor. You are back at your destination cell.
Copy.
Click the destination column header and paste.

How to find a specific word (from a list) in a sentence located in a different table, and build a column that contains the name

Hi all,
I have 2 tables:
1) Lookup table- "Names"- which contains ID# and product description (~100 names that can change).
2) Data table- "Data"- which contains a column with sentences and within lies also the description. In addition, there is a quantity column.
Example:
Names table-
ID
Name
1 Glass
2 Paper
3 Alum'
4 Metal for construction
100 Hydro therapy products
And Data table-
Description
Qty
Someone went to use the machine. 1.80 cm, Alum', for the rest of the day
6
Metal for construction is the major component in our system
7
<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="ba668f16-4de8-41d9-af39-d1b17422d6fe" id="ae5b76e8-6897-46c8-823b-86a382087f83">Kandoo</gs>, Delgado,
Glass 17
Greece needs more paper, 200 ft.
45
*there is no order where the lookup value can be found in the sentence*
My purpose is to import the Data table while performing a calculation, that <gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="1941bde7-1595-40eb-9d64-c2e3b9fabdef" id="b60549fc-5b92-46ea-abc6-72cc8c4c093b">checks</gs>
for each row what is the suitable lookup value and then add it to a new column "Name".
Meaning, this table should be the new data after import:
<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="f5d9da98-3ff6-4022-920d-8965a15730ee" id="580f945f-7822-4035-9b5b-542c74eff605">Description</gs>
Qty
Name
Someone went to use the machine. 1.80 cm, Alum', for the rest of the day
6 Alum'
Metal for construction is the major component in our system
7 Metal for construction
<gs class="GINGER_SOFTWARE_mark" ginger_software_uiphraseguid="365dd7f8-7ffc-4ef3-95bf-9bf03421c90d" id="c9ba8515-3dba-4a6b-929e-650510f70844">Kandoo</gs>, Delgado, Glass
17 Glass

Appreciate all support!
I lost hope and I want to avoid macros as much as possible.
Thanks!

Hi Amit,
I updated the file. The solution uses the following query formula:
let
Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="DataTbl"]}[Content],
#"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(Source, "Custom", each IndexTbl),
#"Expand Custom" = Table.ExpandTableColumn(#"Added Custom", "Custom", {"Scope"}, {"Scope"}),
#"Filtered Rows" = Table.SelectRows(#"Expand Custom", each Text.Contains([Description], [Scope])),
#"Grouped Rows" = Table.Group(#"Filtered Rows", {"Topic", "Component Code", "Project", "Date", "TotalQty", "TotalQtyActual", "ID", "SOW #", " SOW#(lf)Rev", "Scope Driver", "Scope Source", "Scope Source #", "Cost Code", "Type", "Bdg", "System Code", "IMF Number", "IMF Description", "WG", "C or NC", "C/e", "LLE", "Dwg Ref", "Comments ", "Description", "Size", "Qty", "Unit", "Materials Cost/Unit ", "Sub-Total per Unit €", "Unit Rate ", "Total", "DIV Code", "SYS Code", "HelperForDynfilter"}, {{"Scope", each Text.Combine([Scope], " | "), type text}})
in
#"Grouped Rows"
It is based on two queries. The first is the import from table of "IndexTbl", the second is the import of "DataTbl' which is then extended according to the expression above.
Hope this helps.

Division of two columns in pivot table_OBIEE

Hi,
Can you please let me know if there is a way to divide 2 fact columns in pivot table in OBIEE?
Consider a pivot table like this
Year No of customers purchase volume No of customers/purchase volume
1983 30 17000
1985 23 8900
1986 42 21000
I need to calculate No of customers/purchase volume
I did this calculation in criteria and the results are fine but when i tried to bring this to pivot i have no luck.I tried all aggregation rules like sum,average,server complex aggregation but no luck.Is there any option to calculate this column in pivot section?
Note: 'Year' is in row section and other columns are measures in pivot.
Thanks,
Kalai

Index on table columns that contain mixed upper- and lower- case values

Hi,
Can anyone tell if an indexing will benefit when column values are not consistent - some uppercase and some lowercase or mixed? The table contains 17 million rows. If index is created, it will concatenate 7 columns. When doing search, I need to have the WHERE clause like WHERE UPPER(LAST_NAME) LIKE UPPER(:P2_LAST_NAME_SEARCH) because values loaded into the table are not consistent. Does the following index help or not?
CREATE INDEX IDX_TEST ON TABLE1(COL1, COL2, ...) TABLESPACE "INDEX";

you can try Function Based Index for this
cheers

Two columns in the same table that are foreign keys to the same master key

i want to create a table let say X, which have two columns that are foreign key that reference the same column in the master table, so does this count as bad database design.

here is the full ddl for the two table, where in the second table there are two columns that represent the primary key and they are also two foreign keys to the same columns in the master table (items)
Desc item table;
Item_id
Item_name
Item_price
Item_quantitiy
Create table item_recommendation ( item_id varchar(20), recommended_item varchar(20),
CONSTRAINT recom_primary PRIMARY KEY (item_id, recommended_item),
CONSTRAINT F1 FOREIGN KEY (item_id) REFERENCES items(item_id), ),
CONSTRAINT F2 FOREIGN KEY (recommended_item) REFERENCES items(item_id));

Comparing two columns in two tables using partial text strings and copying data between tables

I have two tables:
The Vendor table is supplied by a clothing manufacturer and lists product data by row with a column that contains a unique manufacturer ID, such as T5C4. In this table is a short product description and a long product description that I need to find and copy into the second table, Inventory.
The Inventory table is an export from our Magento store. Each row contains a unique inventory number in a column that includes but does not match the unique manufacturer ID from the Vendor table. For example, the unique inventory number could be T5C4-W12, or RED-T5C4W12 or some other variation.
For each product in Inventory, I need to find the matching product in Vendor, and then copy the short description and long description from Vendor to Inventory.
Any tips? Thanks!
Karl

Karl,
Here's a start, as you requested.
The formula for Our Inventory Row is:
=IFERROR(MATCH("*"&A&"*", Our Inventory :: A, 0), "n/a")
The formula for Brief Description in the inventory table is:
=IFERROR(INDEX(ABC Products :: $A$1:$C$9,MATCH(ROW(), ABC Products :: $D, 0), 2), "n/a")
The formula for the Full description in the inventory table is:
=IFERROR(INDEX(ABC Products :: $A$1:$C$9,MATCH(ROW(), ABC Products :: $D, 0), 3), "n/a")
The Manufacturer's table knows the concise product numbers, so it has the ability to search the Inventory table for it's product id's using wildcards and it then displays the line number of the item in the inventory table. The Inventory table can then search the manufacturer's table for its row number and can reference the brief and full descriptions.
This approach has a serious limitation. It will only find the first occurrence in the inventory. Now, if you want to accept this, you can sort all the found descriptions and pull them out of the inventory table, and then the next product in line will display it's description too.
I wish I could do better with this, but it's all I can come up with at this point, knowing only what you have told me.

Best way to have an image span two columns in a CSS layout?

My homepage is a typical fixed width three column layout. For the inside, content pages, I basically need the same layout except I need to have an image that spans the left and center columns at the top. Below the image, the left and center columns should continue on. The right column should not change at all m
My first thought is to start with a two column layout where the left column would contain the image. Then, I would divide the left column into two columns that would start below the image, using a top margin or perhaps another appropriate positioning attribute.
But before I create a completely new layout for these pages, I thought I'd check and see if there may be an easier or better way to do this. any ideas?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you for both responses. But I have to say I went with the AP div solution. In either case, I would have needed a second layout but this way was a much simpler modification to the three column index page. I did try it both ways as I'm still a-learning. I'm finally getting to the point where when I set or change a setting - especially positioning attributes like margins, the outcome is what I expect. I have also experimented enough where I see there is often more than one way to produce the desired result. However, I'm afraid that in many of these cases I can't explain why one method might be better, or preferred over another. Or if in some instances it simply doesn't matter, unless the final issue is arriving at the most efficient and lightest amount of code required to do the job (that's what I call the Holy Grail in programming and scripting).
As an audio engineer as well, I'm reminded of certain discussions on how to achieve the best sound for this or that, and after going round and round about effects, the science of acoustics, which plug in works best and for what, often the only thing ever really settled upon is "just go by what sounds the best to you". I digress.
So using the AP div in this case, what, if anything is the downside? Does it matter that its content as well as the rest of the page will be dynamic? I wouldn't think so. Might there be issues with older browsers or mobile browsers? The former is not a concern, but the latter is. Might I be tempted to use an AP div at another time because it's so easy to implement, but then may not be an appropriate use? I think I can properly evaluate that if and when the time comes.
Am I just over-thinking all this? : )
Thank you again!
Edited to add: I wanted to mark both responses as correct, but it wouldn't let me do it. No offense I hope!

Filtering a Power Query Table Based on a Column That's a Table

I have a table produced by an outer join ...
"Bananas" is not one of [My Fruit] values. I'd like to filter my join results to only include [My Fruit] values, and I thought I could do that without expanding "NewCol".
Am I mistaken in my belief that such a selection can be done without expanding the "NewCol"?

hi Mark Weisman,
I suppose your [My Fruit] value is single values. You can try below :
Table.SelectRows( Join1, each List.Contains( [NewCol] [Fruit] , [My Fruit] ) )
Note: [Fruit] is the column that contain value want to filter.
Below is my testing sample :
let
Source = Table.FromRows({ {"North", "Apples"}, {"North", "Orange"}, {"West", "Bananas"},{"West", "Lemon"}}, {"Region", "Fruit"}),
Group = Table.Group(Source, {"Region"}, {{"NewCol", each _, type table}}),
Select = Table.SelectRows( Group, each List.Contains( [NewCol] [Fruit] , "Lemon" ) )
in
Select

Count first two columns

Hello,
I have a count requirement that i havent been able to solve by searching sdn. Maybe someone can help.
I have a query built on a multiprovider that points to two basic cubes. The basic cubes do not contain a count key figure. The first two columns of my query are characteristics. My requirement is to count the occurences of the combination of the first two column (characteristics). I am looking for a way to do this in the query so i do not have to reload the cubes as they have large volumes of data. All the suggestions i have been able to find on sdn seem to be only for counting a single characteristic. Is there a way to count the combination of two?
Regards,
TMS

Hi Create a count using the formula or calculated ket figure for the count unique id like client id for your infocube.
so you will have a count for each row now. place this count object in your column.
now select the two char or the group whatever you want a count in your row.
select query properties and select the display tab and make sure the option - hide repeated key values is selected (normally by default it is selected). Then select each of the char in rows and in free char and set the option under display tab result rows - always suppress.
Execute the query now. you will get the list of char and their count. sort the count by descending to get the most duplicate entries by their highest number on top in the count coulmn.
you can also ignore the rows which donot have a duplicate i.e count more than 1 by creating a new condintion on the count key figure > 1 and restricting the condition by only the group of char you have given in the column. so that you can also do a drill down by free char in your query and it will only show the duplicates group.
Hope it helps.
regards,
Siva
