Oracle answers pivot table grand total problem

hi All,
I am working with OBI dashboard. I have a problem in creating a pivot table. To make it simple assume I have 3 columns: Sales, Target Sales, and %Diff. I added a total row but the problem is the total for %Diff is actually the average of the column instead of the %Diff between "total Sales" and Total "Target Sales". The aggregation rule for %Diff is set to Avg. and "Show data as" is set to Value.
I have seen the same problem here before in some forums.
Can anybody help me on this?
Thanks
Sana

the problem is the data is coming from Discoverer (another team converted data from disco. to OBI anwsers) so I do not have access to Biz model.
is there any other way for that?
thanks

Pivot table - Grand total Error

hi,
I am getting incorrect totals in my Pivot table.
i.e The Grand Total is not giving the exact sum.
pls direct me..
My scenario: I need to calculate the total expenses per region and quarterwise.

i havent used any aggregation rule.
In the Answers, i have designed the Pivot table in the below format
[i simply drag-dropped the Columns]
I should give the grand total regionwise and also quarterwise.but the grand totals arent displaying the proper results.
pls advise.
Ex:
region          Q1     Q2     Q3     Region- Grand total
AAA          20000     50000     120000     xxxxxxx
BBB          22240     13456     111500     xxxxxxxxx

Hi Charlie
click the pencil icon to edit the pivot table then click the sigma symbol icon to add the grand total. You can do this for rows or columns.
Please close the thread and award points if this helped you.

Grand Total problem

I have grand total problem. This is my pivot table.
A B A/B
1 10 0,1
2 4 0,5
8 3 2,67
{color:#ff0000}11 17 _3,27_ GRAND TOTAL{color} (0,1+0,5+2,67)
A - AVG type
B - SUM type
How to make obi calculate grand total like this:
A B A/B
1 10 0,1
2 4 0,5
8 3 2,67
{color:#0000ff}11 17 _0,647_ GRAND TOTAL{color} (11/17)
Is that posssible?
Would it help to add *<ReportAggregateEnabled>true</ReportAggregateEnabled>*
in instanceconfig.xml?
Edited by: Micek on 2009.02.09 12:53

Conceptually Report Aggregate Enabled should work. Look into this blog article which refers same.

Obiee spurious pivot table non-total figures

Hi,
My problem is that a pivot table in conjunction with non-hierarchical columns presents figures where no figures exist at data level rather than pivot table totals.
OBIEE version 11.1.1.7.0
Essbase version 11.1.2.3
I have an Essbase data source for my subject area.
I have a column (dimension) 'Account' which has the structure (in Essbase) Account is parent of 'Total Income and Expenditure' is parent of 'Total Income' and 'Total Expenditure'. I filter to only include 'Total Income' and 'Total Expenditure' in my query.
I have a column (dimension) 'Entity' which has a number of tiers of which I am including in the query only the first level of children of Entity.
My problem is that in a number of rows I get figures against 'Total Income' where when I check against the source this should be null, all of the way down the hierarchy - i.e. there are no figures at all so this cannot be an aggregation issue.
I am not doing anything exotic on the business layer in terms of alternative aggregation sources.
If I use a hierarchical column I get the correct numbers, but I do not want to in this case.
Any input appreciated.
thanks,
Robert.

Use expression sum(Marks by Name) in the FX of mark measure in the criteria tab and set the property to suppress the values for measure column.
appreciate if you mark as correct.

Pivot view grand total navigation

Users want to navigate on pivot view grandtotal to next level report based on grand total value.I can only do column heading and column value navigation as per my knowledge.Anyway these values are calculated on the fly and not stored in the database.Storing these totals seems to be impossible as this values change dynamically.
Do we have any alternate solution ?
If this was discussed in this forum before- my apologies as i coudn't find in search criteria.
Thanks

This doesn't make sense to me. Why would you want to drill/navigate based on a grand total value? The value displayed in the grand total comprises individual rows summed up. Therefore, it is the rows that give the total significance. If it is an individual row that makes the total "something worth investigating," the user should click on a value. If the pivot table is one of many in the view, than each table has a common value (region, account number, product code, etc.). Use this value as the interactive value. These make more sense as link to a more detailed report.
Having said all that, please explain why it is essential that the grand total value be use as the link, because there just might be a good reason. But as far as I know, it can't be done.

11g Pivot Table Prompt Totals

I've created a pivot table in which I have two columns listed in the Pivot Table Prompts area (formerly known as the pages area in 10g).
When editing the pivot table, the Layout section shows a summation icon beside the words Pivot Table Prompts. I've clicked that icon, and selected before.
The dropdown list for the first-listed (leftmost) column in the Pivot Table Prompts now shows an entry of All Values above the detail values, as it should.
However, the dropdown list for the other column does NOT have an All Values entry.
Furthermore, selecting the All Values entry for the first column HIDES the dropdown list for the second column entirely, and the pivot table shows a grand total of all values for the second column.
This makes no sense. I want to see All Values for my first column, and still be able to select individual values for my second column, or perhaps select an All Values for the second column.
There is zero documentation on this feature, as the OBIEE 11g User Guide does not contain the string Pivot Table Prompts.
Has this been reported as a bug?

Well, I'll be darned. You are exactly right. 10g behaves exactly the same way when using two page dropdowns.
So yes, it was inherited from 10g. But then again, I inherited high blood pressure from my parents. That doesn't make it a desirable trait.
And there IS an obvious workaround: just create an ALL VALUES calculated member for each of those dimensions.
Thanks for the reply. Credit given for the correct answer.

Table grand total

hi, in physical layer, there are 4 physical tables.
they are:
region, area, city, value
their relationship:
region 1:n area
area 1:n city
city 1:n value
in the Answer, if region and city are selected.
it gives the correct results.
the sql issued includes region.
the "grand total" (the grand total imagebutton on the menu bar) of the table is also enabled.
I found that the total result is not correct.
I fount that the sql issued does not include the region.
so it gives the wrong grand total result.
are there any settings to correct it?
thank you very much!

hi,
can u please uncheck the option Report-Based Total(when applicable), and then see the result.

Downlaoding the Pivot table in PDF problem

Hi Gurus,
I have one pivot table with almost 40 columns. When I tried to download the dashboard into PDF, it is giving blank PDF. Can any one suggest me how to trouble shoot this problem.
Thanks
V

No. of columns in your report is too high here for your report to be downloaded in PDF. 100 % a blank PDF will be shown. The only way to get rid of this issue is to either create a duplicate report & reduce the no. of columns to just important columns in this duplicate report OR play with width size here. Playing with width will def distort your PDF ...So, try to make your business understand the functionality of OBIEE here.
Hope this helps

Resetting calculated values in Answers pivot tables

We have a a pivot table whereby we summarize by zones. Our calculation is derived using running aggregates.
E.g
Zone name | Value 1 | Value 2 | Calc Value
Zone A X y x/y
Zone B A B A/B
However we are unable to reset the value of our running aggregate when our zone changes. Hence for Zone B in the example we are getting a value = (X+A)/(Y+B) when we want A/B.
We are calculating our values at previous 7 day intervals so hence these have to be calculated at run time
We are in 10.1.3.4
All help would be appreciated.
Thanks

Hi,
you can with this syntax inside the column Calc Value of a table view:
RSUM(Value 1/Value 2 by Zone name)
Hope it helps.

Oracle 11g Pivot table

Hi,
I have 2 questions on the pivot query below:
1 - I want to have total by Country and Year
2 - I want to allow the use a dynamic year range (like year between 1990 and 2000)
Thanks,
Ribhi

order by CNTRY_NAME

Ribhi,
Although there are people here that could answer your question, it's better suited for the SQL forum as it's not Apex related.

Advanced Table with Grand Total

I have an advanced table created at the design time with property "Records Displayed" is set to 10. That means, i can able to see 10 records at a time. i have click on Next "Next 10" link to see the next 10 records. i have created a footer with Total. it is showing the sum of the column for the 10 records at a time. Every time i click on "Next 10" , it shows the next 10 records and give me total for current 10 records.
My requirement is show the grand total in the footer. is there any simple setup to show the grand total instead of current page total ? Can i replace the current page total with grand total ? if so, how can i get the handler for the total ?

We have not implemented this functionality but OAF Dev guide [11.5.10.2] has this info.
Control Total Value Generation
To bypass OA Framework's mechanism to control the value generation for a table column footer so you can
provide your own value such as a percentage, set the
oracle.apps.fnd.framework.webui.OAWebBeanConstants TABULAR_FUNCTION_VALUE_ATTR on the
appropriate table column. This overrides OA Framework's internal behavior of footer value generation. Like all
web bean attributes, you can data bound this attribute if required.
Sample usage:
OAAdvancedTableBean advtableBean = ...;
OAMessageStyledTextBean salaryBean = advtableBean.findChildRecursive(...);
String formattedTotal = ...;
*// compute the total*
salaryBean.setAttributeValue(TABULAR_FUNCTION_VALUE_ATTR,formattedTotal);
or:
salaryBean.setAttributeValue(TABULAR_FUNCTION_VALUE_ATTR,
new OADataBoundValueViewObject(...));
Grand Totals
Declarative or programmatic support for Grand Totals is currently not available in advanced tables. To
implement grand totals, you must build your own layout below the advanced table in accordance with the
Oracle Browser Look-and-Feel (BLAF) Guidelines: Tables: Grand Totals [OTN version]. Use the
messageComponentLayout region style to build this layout. In addition, you must programmatically provide the
values for the grand total fields. Since these fields are like any other form fields, you can first calculate the
grand total value in your controller code by looping through the entire view instance row range, and then call
setText() for the grand total field to set it with the calculated grand total value.
Hope this helps.

Grand total conditional formatting

Hi gurus,
I have a problem with the grand total conditional formatting. The grand total is not conditionally format it as do the other elements of the pivot. I have read other posts on the forum and other sites on the advice of workaround to get the grand total formatted conditionally.
Like this:
http://www.clearpeaks.com/blog/oracle-bi-ee-11g/grand-total-conditional-formatting-in-pivot-tables
or
http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/answer_xml
But the answers is in error:
DXE compiler error. No table 'GTGT' found in DXE. Source name: DxeAPI. XML: None
Error details
Codici di errore: YV3KVTDM
Location: saw.hypercube.dxeApi, saw.httpserver.processrequest, saw.rpc.server.responder, saw.rpc.server, saw.rpc.server.handleConnection, saw.rpc.server.dispatch, saw.threadpool.socketrpcserver, saw.threads
I'm use the version obiee 11.1.1.6.2
Someone can give me some advice on how to conditionally format the grand total
Thanks in advance

How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Pivot Tables

Hi Everyone,
Iam stuck with 1 problem please can any 1 help me if u know the solution.
Here is my problem:
How to show "ALL" Values by default in Page Drop-Down Lists in Oracle BI Pivot Tables?
For example, if you place Region in the pages area, a Region drop-down list allows the user to select a particular region, and see the data for only that region, rather than seeing all the Regions,But by default its not showing "ALL" option in the drop down list ,rather than doing that its showing result for only 1 region by default.
And an other problem with this pages area is, if we palce the multiple attributes in the Pages area in the pivot table, the (Fields)result is showing in vertically, the attributes 1 by 1(Every attribute in a new line) ,rather than showing like that, is there any way to show the results in horizantally?(We want to have it as a seperate drop drown list for every field horizantally not as a concatenated list).

Thanks Nikhil. But I am fetching the values from the LOVCache.java.
I am using <af:selectManyChoice>. Is there any way I can use LOVCache.java value for selecting default values instead of hard coding?
I mean to say can I write
unselectedLabel="#{LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList.anyValue}"
where LOVCache.entityTypeSelectionList is used to populate the drop down box.
Regards,
Aseet

The project type is classified into Internal and external.
First --> I need to classify the data based on contract type and have to display the total internal and external backlog, this is based on the project type..I am able to achieve this using pivot table
but my problem is in the same report i need to have the data which is then classified based on client type, within client type i need to classified based on federal and non federal.
third-->I need the data to be classified based on the service type. and in all three sections based on project type need to show the backlog .
all this in the same report output.
any help on this is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

As you can see, when we use crosstab tag we can specify only one aggregate function for data cells.
Is there any way to get in XSL-FO (where we can what really happens) instead of:
<T1>
<xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/_BI_PERS_ACCOUNT_CARD_._BI_PAC_UNID_)"/>
</T1>
<T2>
<xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/_BI_MONTH_DEBET_._BI_DEBET_SUM_)"/>
</T2>
this
<T1>
<xsl:value-of select="sum(current-group()/_BI_PERS_ACCOUNT_CARD_._BI_PAC_UNID_)"/>
</T1>
<T2>
<xsl:value-of select="count(current-group()/_BI_MONTH_DEBET_._BI_DEBET_SUM_)"/>
</T2>
