Pivot table automatically rounding percentage value

Hi All,
I have pivot table column which shows percentage values for a area it is directly rounding the values to the nearest values that means if i am getting 4.43% rounding it to 4.00% so is there any way to just show the percentage value with out rounding it to the nearest value.
Thanks

Hi copter,
You can do it in pivot view itself.follow this step by step process http://shivabizint.wordpress.com/2008/09/14/changing-the-precession-of-percent-of-columns-in-pivot-table-of-obiee/

Pivot table not displaying the values correctly

Hi,
I have created a pivot table in which i am using 2 tables. I pulled columns from table A and one column from table B in the measures section to get the grand total. All the rows are comming fine but, its not returning any values for tableB's column(if i pull it into measures).
If the column stays under rows section, the report is comming out fine.
I need the total to be displayed in the report.
Can some body help me with this.
Thanks

Hi David,
i have set the column's aggregation to sum, and it is comming out correctly in the grand total, how ever, i have some of the coulmns which i am taking the %
col3= (col2/col1)*100
col1- aggregation set as Sum, col2 and col3 is set as default
The values for col3 are comming finr in report , where as it is not returning correct value for garnd total row.
ex: row w--- col1 col2 col3
row1-----6630 1130 17.04
row2 6114 994 16.26
total 23317 3739 56.40(should be 16.2..)
For col3 it is calculating like this(3739-total of col2/ 6630 -first row of col1 *100)
Instead of taking total , it is taking the first row.
I tried different aggregations, but was still unable to get the correct value. Can you please let me know if i am missing anything.
Can we define custom aggregations.
Thanks

Is there any possible that pivot table can display date values in the data area like this?

I use Power Query to load data(including all the of data showed in the following table without accumulating) from database to the Excel Worksheet, and I want to build a pivot table like this.
But the data area of the pivot table can only accecpt and display numeric data. Is there any possible that such a display can be achieved?
Thanks.

Hi,
Would you like to upload a sample file through OneDrive? I'd like to see the data source structure and test it.

Sorting on a total column or calculated column in a pivot table

We have a pivot table showing customer activity by month. We have added a calculated field to show the YTD average instead of a total column. Is there a way to sort on this calculated field? We have applied a sort on the measure in the criteria, and our resulting pivot table sorts by the values in the most recent month, not by the YTD average.

I think we cant sort when we use a pivot view becoz all the rows are already fixed. Say your rows are sales and volume and columns are year 2007 and 2008, imagine if you r given the sorting ability then if number of units solds is more then it need to change the rows (but in pivot table rows are fixed). So, we cant sort in pivot tables!!

Implicit Aggregate in pivot table ?

I am using Excel to query an OLAP SSAS cube. Without any filter, the pivot table I have is:
Values
SCM Lines Count
94741
OTR_Net
87.28%
OTD_Net
95.00%
I need to consolidate these metrics on the first complete months of the year. So I create a named set. The corresponding code in the MDX query that Excel generates is:
SET [YTD] as VisualTotals({[Delivery Date].[Period Hiearchy].[All],YTD(StrToMember("[Delivery Date].[Period Hiearchy].[Month].&"+
FORMAT(Now(),"[yyyyMM01]")+ ".PrevMember"))})
When I drag and drop this set to the columns area of the pivot table, I get this:
Values
2014-01
2014-02
Grand Total
SCM Lines Count
3715
3608
7323
OTR_Net
81.77%
84.77%
83.24%
OTD_Net
91.66%
94.33%
92.97%
So far so good, but I would like to remove the months and only keep the Grand Total. But you cannot move a set to the page filter area, so I tried the following workaround with the add-in "OLAP Pivot table extensions": I remove the set from the
columns area (the result changes back to the first table above), and add a calculated metric:
[Measures].[YTDCount] AS Aggregate([YTD],[Measures].[SCM Lines Count])
And - surprise -, I get the result below: The other metrics are also filtered on the [YTD] set, even though it is not explicitly set as a filter in the pivot table.
Values
SCM Lines Count
7323
OTR_Net
83.24%
OTD_Net
92.97%
YTDCount
14646
The final MDX query is:
WITH
SET [YTD] as VisualTotals({[Delivery Date].[Period Hiearchy].[All],YTD(StrToMember("[Delivery Date].[Period Hiearchy].[Month].&"+
FORMAT(Now(),"[yyyyMM01]")+ ".PrevMember"))})
MEMBER [Measures].[YTDCount] as AGGREGATE([YTD],[Measures].[SCM Lines Count])
SELECT {[Measures].[SCM Lines Count],[Measures].[OTR_Net],[Measures].[OTD_Net]} DIMENSION PROPERTIES PARENT_UNIQUE_NAME,HIERARCHY_UNIQUE_NAME ON COLUMNS FROM [METRICS] CELL PROPERTIES VALUE, FORMAT_STRING, LANGUAGE, BACK_COLOR, FORE_COLOR, FONT_FLAGS
Even if I unselect my custom metric YTDCount (which gives twice the correct result btw), the result for the other metrics remains unchanged. The final pivot table is indeed what I wanted, but I do not want to use what seems a dirty hidden trick.
Can anyone explain why the custom metrics also impacts other measures ?
Would anyone have a proposal for a set definition that would generates either only one column or a hierarchy where I could hide the month level. ?
<object height="1" id="plugin0" style=";z-index:1000;" type="application/x-dgnria" width="1"><param name="tabId" value="{D6D21951-03EF-4DE5-AA00-FEF24C66552F}" /></object>

I finally found the answer: create a calculated member instead of a Named set. I had not realized that it could also be done with the add-in.
In the pivot table, I have dragged the Delivery date dimension to the page filter area. I can then select the member "YTD", and get exactly what I wanted.

How Can I Add Pivot Tables of Excel Into JSP Pages

Hello all,
Basing upon a query to database, i wanted to add a Microsoft Excel pivot table functionality in JSP page [with the result of query].
Is it possible to create a Pivot Table in JSP with dynamic data from database ??
Can any body help me in solving this issue ???
Thanks & Regards
Krishna

There are a few alternatives to doing this (depending on the clients you are serving this page up for).
Going the pure HTML
There is an open source project called JPivot which provides an HTML front end for Pivot Table (using tag libraries)
Going the Microsoft Office route there are a few options:
1) POI HSSF ( http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/index.html) allows you to "update" an existing Pivot table by replacing data values contained in a template pivot table.
2) Use the open source XELEM api (xelem.sourceforge.net) which produces SpreadsheetML (Micorsofts current XML file Format). At present, I don't believe this handles creating a pivot table from scratch (you have to manually create the Pivot Table template, read in the template (with XELEM) and update the data values in the template before writing it out. (the same holds true for POI)
3) Commercially the company I work for (www.workbeans.com) is writing a pure Java Pivot Table API that will allow you to create a Pivot Table in the Excel SpreadsheetML file format from scratch. (supported by Office 2000, XP and 2003). The Pivot table functionality isn't slated until a future release (Oct. 2005), so if you can wait until then we could help you further.

How to bold the Total A-C and its value?My version is OBIEE 10g
Thank you before

JOE

Hi Joe
In 10g
1st change the View from Compound Layout to "Tabular View"
2nd.. as you told the A-C total is needed, in the tabular view at Answers......navigate to that field/column & find Sigma (Summation Symbol) ..
3rd, by clicking on it..you will get the Totals in Bold Letters
Please mark Correct if this helps you

Pivote Table

I have two measurement columns in my pivot table. One has values that need to roll up into an over all row total for a customer. A second column has one value that repeats but in the pivot table it totals all the rows as well but I just need the one repeating value to show once. Then have a grand total at the bottom of the table. How might I over come this obstacle? Is there a group by function like in SQL?

the following logic display the sum only once per contact.
case when rank (Opportunity."Created Date" by Contact."Contact ID") = 1 then sum(Opportunity."Opportunity Revenue" by Contact."Contact ID" ) else null end
You could create something simularly. Hopefully, this is waht you are looking for.

Display value and percentage of row in pivot table w/o double counting...

Hello,
I am wondering how/if one can show a metric value and the row percentage it represents without double counting. So far, I have attempted to duplicate the metric value layer, move the duplicated layer in the measures section of the pivot table next to the original layer (i.e. I have the value twice in the measure section), and set the format of the duplicated layer to "show data as > percent > row".
This makes the trick in terms of the data I see in the table; however, the values displayed in the table are double counted in the chart. I guess this makes sense since I have duplicated the metric value.
Any thoughts on how I could tackle this issue differently?
Thanks,
JP

You can do all that in the Pivot Table... Go to the measure properties and Duplicate Layer...than Show as...
Dont need to duplicate the criteria...

Percentage calculation in pivot table per row

Hello all,
I do calculate two fields in a pivot table. First calculated field is the # of activities per user (standard SoD reporting field). Second calculated field is the # of activities per user with a certain classification (customized pick list field that is converted in a from a text value to a integer value ==> CASE WHEN Activity.Type = 'Call' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END).
In the pivot table I do show both vlaues as a sum. I would like to calculate the percentage per row per user.
Example:
User - # activities - # calls - percentage
User XY - 80 - 40 - 50%
Thanxs for your help
Elmar

have you # Call column look like
sum(CASE WHEN Activity.Type = 'Call' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END) -- column2
create the percentage column with # activities / column2
under the column property of the percentage column --> Data Format -->Treat Numbers As --> percentage.
leave the Aggregation Role as default on all columns.
Hopefully, I didn't miss anything.

"Top n" selection and percentages in a pivot table

Hi all,
I have a problem with calculating/display of percentage figures in a pivot table that I need some help on.
For a given month, I'm reporting the web browser logins, by browser type. So for example:
2010/03, IE, 50
2010/03, Firefox, 30
2010/03, Chrome, 10
2010/03, Others, 10
Totalling 100 ( and their produce the same value as a % ). However, if I apply a filter on the browser that does a select of the Top 2 for the month, the IE & Firefox total 80 and displays the % values as:
2010/03, IE, 62.5%
2010/03, Firefox, 37.5%.
So I can see that really what I need to do is to filter the columns being displayed as the "Top 2" not selecting the data onbeing in the top 2.
Can anyone advise on how to do this/is it possible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi you can try like,
1. create a duplicate column for browserlogins and set its level as month and name it as totallogin.
2. create a calculated measure for the original browserlogins column. Choose the totallogin to compare against that column.
3. choose percent in the new calculation tab.
4. Bring this column iinto the presentation layer.
5. use this column in the report.
Check what it is showing. I dint try this out. Just a guess. If its helpful award some points.
Thanks,
Karthick

Percentage of Total Count of Category in Raw Data Column in Pivot Table

I have normalized my data in Excel and I have a column: "question 1" and then a column for "gender" which has values as "female" and "male". I have created a pivot table for these two variables, "Gender" and
"Question 1". My values for Females and Males from the Gender data are presented within my pivot table. I want to present these numbers as percentages of Total "Females" and "Males" that are in the "Gender" column in
my master dataset. Pivot tables will only allow me to do %'s of data already in the pivot table
I am attempting to use Calculated Fields within Pivot Tables to resolve this. I do not want to create a separate column in my master data set, but rather, complete all calculations within the pivot table

Thank you very much,
The steps you provided use the total "gender" within the pivot table as the "grand total".
If I have a binomial variable, "gender" with "male" as one of the variables, I need the grand total be the total male in the raw data.
Example: if there are 100 total males in the raw data for the column "gender"
and I construct a pivot table with a dependent variable which is a survey question and "gender" and 30 males "agreed" with the survey question and 20 females "agreed" with the survey question, your instructions for % of grand total would show 60% for
males who agree [males + females who replied to the survey question],
when, what I need is the total males in the raw data, 100, used as the total so that the percentage of males who answered "agreed" to the survey question is 30% of all males.
Thank you very much

Calculated Percentage Columns in Pivot Table loose formating in Excel

I have a simple report built using pivot table ( OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0)
1 Metric and 1 dimension using pivot table. and I duplicated the metric column and change it to % column.(Show data as % of column). SO far so good. Below is the snapshot
http://tinypic.com/r/2s14xa9/7
Now i download the report in excel and all the % values are messed up . Below is how it looks
http://tinypic.com/r/bede90/7
I tried messing with data formats etc..nothing works.. I cannot add a custom column format to the metric column since it will impact the derived % column.
Is this a bug ?Any pointers ..
Thanks

Hi,
Follow up this SR:
SR 3-5060435331: Calculated Percentage Columns in Pivot Table loose formating in Excel
Workaround: (not sure may be give a try)
also give a try like below one then try to download it may work.
In that % column -->add the below statement in the Custom CSS section of the column properties:
mso-number-format:"\@"
Refer snapshot here:
http://i53.tinypic.com/a09kqv.jpg
This will treat the data in the column as text while downloading to excel, hence retaining any leading or trailing spaces.
Thanks

Adding Cumulative Percentages to Pivot table

Hi all,
I am trying to add a Cumulative Percentage to a pivot table in Hyperion IR 11:
Month joined     July     August     September     October
Sales          5     3     2          0
Accounts     2     1     0          1
Marketing     0     8     5          2The pivot facts are the number of employees joining the department and the row label is the department.
I am trying to add a running cumulative percentage in the pivot table for each month. Example, the cumulative percent in July will be 71.4% [5/(5+2)] under Sales department and 100% under Accounts department (71.4 + 28.6 of Accounts). For month of August, the cumulative percent will reset the calculation to be that it will be 25% [3/(3+1+8)] for Sales in August. The expected pivot table is something like that:
Month joined     July          August          September     October
Sales          71.4          25          28.5          0
Accounts     100          33.3          28.5          33
Marketing     100          100          100          100The underlying table is as follows:
Month joined     Department     No of employee
July          Sales          5
July          Accounts     2
July          Marketing     0
August          Sales          3
August          Accounts     1
August          Marketing     8
September     Sales          2
September     Accounts     0
September     Marketing     5
October          Sales          0
October          Accounts     1
October          Marketing     2I have tried using the Add Cume function but am not able to give the correct figure.
Has anybody had any suggestions on how to produce the cumulative percentage in the pivot?
Thanks in advance.

Hover text is possible with static text but your requirement would not be possible to display value unless its hardcoded
