Pivot table HELP in OBIEE Answers!!!

Hello,
I am having some problems in a “pivot table”, “Sections” and “Calculated Items” I have a section called 'e) External Income' and I would like the value reverted from a negative to a positive. In excel or any other form of calculation you can do this by * -1 (negative 1). However this statement does not work as a Calculated Item. This is the statement I am using = 'e) External Income'*-1 and I get the following error message “The semantics of the formula entered are not valid”.
I have also tried = 'e) External Income'-('e) External Income'+'e) External Income') this will give you it as a minus also but I have no error message this time, but the values stay the same.
Can this be done any help would be very appreciative.
Thank you
John

I cannot change the folmula in the critera tab because this will chnage my values on the other 'Bins' I have created. Ref your other question i have a list of account codes and i have grouped ones together to create 4 "Bins". If i change the formula for one of the Bins it will chnage it for all of them but I only need it on the 'e) External Income'

The pivot table view is an interactive view that allows you to rotate the rows, columns, and section headings to obtain different perspectives of the data. Pivot tables are navigable and drillable, and are especially useful for trend reports.
Gauges are useful for showing performance against goals. Supported gauge types include dial, bar, and bulb-style gauges.
CASE statement is used for conditions, usage is case when x=y dothis end.. Its like IF statement in programming.

If I create narrative view it will be another view. And if I put that in between that two pivot view, it will show the space. I need to remove space between two pivot table within a single report so that it can appear as a single pivot view.

Count Distinct in Pivot table totals? OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Hi,
I have got a column that counts distinct customers per each month of the year and at the end of the analysis, it should show distinct customer count of the year as TOTAL. How can it be achieved? Is it possible to customize pivot table totals?
Example:
Month Customers
Jan          10
Feb          20 (10 new customers)
Mar           15 (5 new customers)
TOTAL: 25 (distinct values --> 10+10+5)Thanks in advance.

Hi MK,
I tried it already and it does not work. It takes the distinct value of each month, which is month's count distinct and then it sums. So the total is 45 (10+20+15) not 25.
Thanks for you reply.

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 Tables in BI Publisher

When including multiple Criteria in the "Rows" section of Pivot Table we get a desired format of Pivot Table in BI Analytics Answers. However, when creating a Pivot Table in a BI Publisher Template, Adding multiple measures in "Rows" results in the creation of duplicate rows.
For example, the desired format is as follows:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AisK8m4TPhzKdDMzeDhfUjBZNTF5NWhleEEtX3piLXc&hl=en_US#gid=0
this appears in BI Analytics Answers.
However, when this table is made in BI Publisher Template, the format is as follows:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0AisK8m4TPhzKdFlDQjBGU0NORWltNXp3STE1WTJZUVE&hl=en_US#gid=0
Please help on how to obtain a pivot table in BI Publisher in the desired format.

Export Pivot table data to a Excel file

Hi All,
I am using OBIEE 10.1.3.
In my asnwers I am displaying the Pivot view and want to export the results to a excel sheet.The dowlnoad option is not coming for Pivit view.
In case of compound view I am able to see the download option to export to excel sheet.
Please suggest.
thanks

The Compound Layout has a purpose and that is to display your report with the download optons you can "turn on," including "download to Excel." To answer your question of somehow enabling a "download link" from the Pivot Table view, sorry, you can't do that. However, here's what you can do:
In Answers, use the Compound Layout view to download the pivot table. If the Compound Layout view is used for other purposes and you need only the pivot table view to download (as a report designer) and you really need this functionality, then create a duplicate of the Compound Layout and put only your pivot table in it. Now you can download.
If you are talking about dashboards, then use the Properties>Report Links from the Properties button of the report and check off "download." Again, if your Compound Layout is used for other purposes (and requires other views in it), then drag the report into another section of the dashboard and in Edit Dashobard, click on the Properties of the report>Show View>Compound Layout:2 that you created in the previous paragraph. Enable downloading on this and you can download only the Pivot table.

Unable to execute pivot table option

Hi group,
We are running OBIEE version 10.1.3.4.1. We use OBIEE with APCC (Advance Planning Command Center).
When some clients (PC's) try to run Pivot Table using next option (Answers--> Shared Folders -->Other --> Resource Utilization --> Modify --> and then push the Show results in a pivot table) they get next message "Currently you have not a initiated session in the Oracle BI Server".
When I try the same option from my PC and directly in the server there is no problem, so I think it could be a client issue.
If somebody has gotten this same problem, any advice will be really appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Kind regards,
Francisco Mtz. Oviedo
