Pivot tables with column selector - navigation?

Hi
Just hoping someone can help. We maintain a large number of dashboards and would like to move to streamlining them by combining reports using column selectors. However when we have pivot table reports where the column selector on the rows are selectable on up to 5 different fields, but the pivot columns are split by one specific field, the navigation reports won't filter on the column headings. It will filter on the rows which can change between the various column selector options.
For example we have:
5 columns (5 types of application)
The rows are either: advisor, status of app, month received, age of app, world region etc...
The fact is # of apps
This navigates to a list report which should prompt off the various fields in the column selector and the pivot table column headings (all are prompted) but it just ignores the type of application field and only prompts off the rows.
Is it possible to have it prompting off both like a normal pivot table does?
Sorry if that's not clear.
Regards

Pivot table with variables columns

I need a helo to pivot table with variable columns,
I have a pivot table :
SELECT a.*
FROM (SELECT codigo_aluno,nome_aluno , id_curso,dia FROM c_frequencia where dia like '201308%') PIVOT (sum(null) FOR dia IN ('20130805' ,'20130812','20130819','20130826')) a
but I need to run the select with values for dia , getting from a other table :
SELECT a.*
FROM (SELECT codigo_aluno,nome_aluno , id_curso,dia FROM c_frequencia where dia like '201308%') PIVOT (sum(null) FOR dia IN (
select dia from v_dia_mes )) a
thank you

The correct answer should be "Use the Pivoted Report Region Plugin".
But, as far as I know, nobody has created/posted that type of APEX plugin.
You may have to use a Basic Report (not an IR) so that you can use "Function returning SELECT" for your Source.
You would need two functions:
One that dynamically generates the Column Names
One that dynamically generates the SELECT statement
These should be in a PL/SQL Package so that the later can call the former to ensure that the column data matches the column names.
i.e. -- no 'SELECT *'

Powerpivot excel pivot-tables with multiple rows (problem expand / collapse)

Hello,
I made a pivot table with powerpivot so I get kind of data:
The problem I have is that when I reduced the city of Bordeaux for example, given this city are reduced both that really interests me as the other non-company (all cities Bordeaux are reduced).
I would like to know how to get it is there that the city which interests me is reduced?

Hi,
As I have no idea of your PowerPivot data. And I have a litter confused about
'the city which interests me is reduced' .
Did you want to get the city whose volume（maybe sales volume) is reduced than last year ?
If so,I suggest you create a calculated column in PowerPivot to get the YTD of previous year using DAX. then in pivot table you can use this dimension to do a filter.

If I misunderstand you, please let me know. And if it is convenient for you, please share your workbook here.

Migrating from Sql Server tables with column name starting with integer

hi,
i'm trying to migrate a database from sqlserver but there are a lot of tables with column names starting with integer ex: *8420_SubsStatusPolicy*
i want to make an offline migration so when i create the scripts these column are created with the same name.
can we create rules, so when a column like this is going to be migrated, to append a character in front of it?
when i use Copy to Oracle option it renames it by default to A8420_SubsStatusPolicy
Edited by: user8999602 on Apr 20, 2012 1:05 PM

Hi,
Oracle doesn't allow object names to start with an integer. I'll check to see what happens during a migration about changing names as I haven't come across this before.

Mike

Some of the pivot table header column not center-aligned

I've dragged a pivot table model from Data Controls. The generated pivot table on page does not display some of the header columns center-aligned. I tried to set a css style in HeaderFormat listener for the columns, but it did not work. I checked the html source code and found the problem was caused by "colspan" not created properly. I'd like to know how pivot table header columns are created, anyone who knows please kindly give some tips,thanks!

Try setting the Header Row to allow to repeat. I've had to set that Repeat option to get things to break over pages correctly.

Drill Down in Pivot Table with item on page level

Hi,
I've got a pivot table with Chart next to it. The chart is a separate view, I did not use the 'Chart pivoted results' option.
My pivot table has one Page Level item being the Month Name.
I now have the strange behavior that drilling down on the Pivot table elements gives me No Results as my filter would be too restrictive. The problem is with the 'Month Name'. Removing this item from the filter shows the correct data. When I use the chart next to my data to do the drilling I encounter no problems. This is because this way the restriction on the month name is not added when drilling.
Has anybody encountered this behavior before and knows of a way to solve this.
Thanks for your advice,
Kris

My query looks like this :

AND t1497.project_group = 'SUPP AP TM'
AND TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (t1601.datum_prestatie, 'MM'), '99') = 3
The last row being a check on the month number.
At the same time in OBIEE I get this :
No Results
     The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Request Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
     Divisie is equal to Specialized Technologies
and      Month is equal to 3
and      Project Group is equal to SUPP AP TM
and      Month Name is equal to Mar
The physical query doesn't even show the restriction on Month Name which makes it even more spooky...

Pivot table with very large number of columns

Hello,
here is the situation:
One table that contains raw data; from this table I feed one with extract information (3 fields); I have to turn the content in a pivot table
Ro --- Co --- Va
A A 1
A B 1
A C 2
B A 11
Turned in
A B C...
A 1 1 2
B 11 null null
To do this I do a query like:
select r, sum(decode(c,'A',Va) COLA, sum(decode(c,'B',Va) COLB , sum(decode(c,'C',Va) COLC,.... sum(decode(c,'XYZ',Va) COLXYZ from table group by r
The statement is generated by a script (cfmx) and it works until I reach a query that try to have 672 values for c; which means 672 columns...
Oracle doesn't like that: ORA-01467: sort key too long
I like this way has it is getting the result fast.
I have tried different solution a the CFMX level with for that specific query, I got timeout (query table with loop on co within loop on ro)
Is there any work around?
I am using Oracle 9i.
Tahnk you!

insert into extracted_data select c, r, v, p from full_data where <specific_clause>
The values for C are from a query: select disctinct c from extracted_data
and it is the same for R
R and C are varchar2(3999)
I suppose that I can split on the first letter of the C column as:
SELECT r, low.cola, low.colb, . . ., low.colm,
high.coln, high.colo, . . ., high.colz
FROM (SELECT r, SUM(DECODE(c, 'A', va)) cola, . . .
SUM(DECODE(c, 'M', va)) colm
FROM table
WHERE c like 'A%'
GROUP BY r) Alpha_A,
(SELECT r, SUM(DECODE(c, 'N', va)) coln, . . .
SUM(DECODE(c, 'Z', va)) colz
FROM table
WHERE c like 'B%'
GROUP BY r) Alpha_B,
(SELECT r, SUM(DECODE(c, 'N', va)) coln, . . .
SUM(DECODE(c, 'Z', va)) colz
FROM table
WHERE c like 'C%'
GROUP BY r) Alpha_C
(SELECT r, SUM(DECODE(c, 'zN', va)) coln, . . .
SUM(DECODE(c, 'zZ', va)) colz
FROM table
WHERE c like 'Z%'
GROUP BY r) Alpha_Z
WHERE alpha_A.r = alpha_B.r and apha_a.r = alpha_C.r ... and alpha_a.r = alpha_z.r
I will have 27 select statement joined... I have to check if even like that I will not reach the limit within one of the statement select
"in real life"
select GRPW.r, GRPW.W0, GRPC.C0, GRPC.C1 from
(select r, sum(decode(C, 'Wall, unspecified',cases)) W0 from tmp_maqueje where upper(C) like 'W%' group by r) GRPW,
select r,
sum(decode(C, 'Ceramic tiles, indoors',cases)) C0,
sum(decode(C, 'Cement surface, outdoors (Concrete/cement block, see Structural element, A11)',cases)) C1
from tmp_maqueje where upper(C) like 'C%' group by r) GRPC
where GRPW.r = GRPC.r

How to show two seperate pivot tables with one select column

Hi All
My client wishes to have two pivot tables, one showing positive results and the other showing negative results.
For Example:
DIMENSION
BUSINESS A          1000
BUSINESS B          500
BUSINESS C          100
DIMENSION
BUSINESS A          -1000
BUSINESS B          -500
BUSINESS C          -100
Is it possible to then select the different DIMENSION with one select column for both?
Thanks

Not sure I got it right try this
for Number column pull twice and set col*-1
use 2 pivot table for each number type
cool as ~ http://cool-bi.com

Pivot Table with Dynamic Columns and Headers

Hello,
I'm trying to pivot a table of data where the column headers will be dynamic. While I know how to pivot the table to get what I want how will I be able to pick up the table column header from the Pivot to display in the report?
For example:
Unpivoted data is Employee Code, Branch Code, Problem Code, # of Problems.
There is many records for a given Employee and Branch that I want to pivot so the Column headers are the Problem Codes and the data below is the SUM(num_problems) for that Problem.
So the data may look like this for Tech Bob, Branch NY.
Problem = LEAK, Num_problem = 5
Problem = DAMAGE, Num_problem = 2
Problem = OTHER, Num_problem = 3
Which problem codes may appear is unknown but selecting the DISTINCT(problem) across all techs gives me the column headings to use.
So if I pivot this data, I get this Row:
Tech = Bob, Branch = NY, DAMAGE = 2, LEAK = 5, OTHER = 3
So first can SSRS handle having dynamic columns? Only Tech and Branch are known and the remaining columns are dynamic based on how many Problems they worked on.
Second, how can I set the column heading in my Tablix to be the Problem Code?
Sherry

You just need to use a matrix container
Use EmployeeCode and BranchCode for row group
ProblemCode as column group and SUM([No Of Problems]) as the data expression and it will generate the columns for you based on ProblemCode values automatically.

Excel Pivot Table with Date Hierarchies - query performance degradation

For the sake of this explanation, I’m going to try and keep it simple. Slicing the data by additional dimensions only makes the issue worse. I’ll keep this description to one fact table and three dimensions. Also, I’m fairly new to SSAS Tabular; I’ve worked
with SSAS Multidimensional in the past.
We’ve got a fact table that keeps track of bill pay payments made over time. Currently, we only have about six months of data, with the fact row count at just under 900,000 rows. The grain is daily.
There is an Account dimension (approx. 460,000 rows), with details about the individual making a payment.
There is a Payment Category dimension (approx.. 35,000 rows), which essentially groups various Payees into groups which we like to report on: Automobile Loan, Mortgage, Insurance, etc.
There is the requisite Date dimension (exactly 62093 rows-more days than we need?), which allows visibility as to what is being paid when.
Using this DW model, I’ve created a SSAS BISM Tabular model, from which Excel 2010 is ultimately used to perform some analysis, using Pivot Tables. In the tabular model, for easier navigation (doing what I’ve always done in SSAS MultiDimensional), I’ve created
several Date Hierarchies, Year-Month, Year-Quarter-Month, etc.
There are currently only two measures defined in the Tabular model: one for the “Sum of PaymentAmount”; one for the “PaymentsProcessed”.
OK, in Excel 2010, using a Pivot Table, drag the “Sum of PaymentAmount” measure to the Values section, next to/under the PivotTable Field List. Not too exciting, just the grand total of all Payments, for all time.
Drag the “YearMonth” hierarchy (from the Date dimension) to the “Column Labels” section. After expanding the year hierarchy to see the months, now the totals are for each of the months, for which we have data, for June through November, 2013.
Drag the “PaymentCategory” (from the Payment Categories dimension) to the “Report Filter” section. Filter accordingly: We just want to see the monthly totals for “Automobile Loans”.
Now, some details. Drag the “AccountSK” (hiding the actual account numbers) to the “Row Labels” section. This shows all accounts that have made Automobile Loan payments over the last six months, showing the actual payment amounts.
So far, so good. Remember, I’m using a Date Hierarchy here, in this case “YearMonth”
Now, if any of the other attributes on the Account dimension table, say “CreditScore”, or “LongName”, are subsequently dragged over to the “Row Lables” section, under the “AccountSK”, the results will never come back, before timing out or by giving up and
pressing ESCape!
If this exact scenario is done by removing the Date Hierarchy, “YearMonth” from the “Column Labels” and replace it with “Year” and “MonthName” attributes from the Date dimension, these fields not being in any sort of hierarchy, adding an additional “Account”
attribute does not cause any substantial delay.
What I’m trying to find out is why is this happening? Is there anything I can do as a work around, other than what I’ve done by not using a Date Hierarchy? Is this a known issue with DAX and the query conversion to MDX? Something else?
I’ve done a SQL Profiler trace, but I’m not sure at this point what it all means. In the MDX query there is a CrossJoin involved. There are also numerous VertiPaq Scans which seems to be going through each and every AccountSK in the Account dimension, not
just the ones filtered, to get an additional attribute (About 3,600 accounts which are “Automobile Loan” payments.).
Any thoughts?
Thanks! Happy Holidays!
AAO

Thanks for your reply Marco. I've been reading your book, too, getting into Tabular.
I've set up the Excel Pivot Table using either the Year/MonthName levels, or the YearMonth hierarchy and then adding the additional attribute for the CreditScore.
Incidentally, when using the YearMonth hierarchy and adding the CreditScore, all is well, if the Year has not been "opened". When this is done, I suspect the same thing is going on.
From SQL Profiler, each of the individual MDX queries below (formatted a bit for readability).
Thanks!

Problem with Pivot Table with Graph: Line Bar Combo

Hello people!
I have a problem with pivot table and line bar combo (all in the same view (pivot table))
I have some measures and one dimension in my report.
--------------measure1---measure2---measure3
Dim A.1
Dim A.2
Dim A.3
If I choose my graph line bar combo automatically choose "line" measure 3 (last measure in "Show Controls"). How can I do if I want my measure1 for line and I don't want modify my pivot table?
Thank you very much!

Ok, I'll explain my problem again. In my pivot table I add graph vision and I want in the same view (Pivot table). My graph is "Line Bar Combo" and I don't know how but the last of my measures belongs to right AXIS, if I change order of my measures I can see in my graph the measure that I want in my right axis BUT also it changes the order of my pivot table.
This is my problem. I think that I can do that with different views but I lose my selector view to view graphic and my pivot table at the same time.

How to create Dynamic internal table with columns also created dynamically.

Hi All,
Any info on how to create a dynamic internal table along with columns(fields) also to be created dynamically.
My requirement is ..On the selection screen I enter the number of fields to be in the internal table which gets created dynamically.

Error Message: "Excel cannot complete this task with available resources" when creating pivot table with Excel 2013

Hi,
One of our users encountered this problem with Excel 2013 while creating pivot tables, particularly with large files. We tried to modify Virtual Memory
of the pc but error still persist. Why does this happen and how can we resolve this? Thanks.
Another error message encountered by the user, this time when opening large files. The files she tried to open are working fine in 2010. But when opened in 2013, it prompted : "There
isn't enough memory to complete this action. Try using less data or closing other applications."

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Did your user using the Excel 2013 and Excel 2010 with same PC? If not, please let me know the both of the 2 PCs' hardware list/Windows operation system info.
Did you using Excel 2013 32bit version and Excel 2010 64bit version?
General speaking, this issue usually occurs with Office 2013 32 bit version. It has a limitation of 2Gb of memory that can be used by its process. And the 64-bit Excel can handle larger workbooks.
Thus, if your user using 32bit Excel, I recommend try 64bit Excel instead.
Here is a similar issue, we also could try it:

Remove column heading in a pivot table without columns

I have a pivot table which only has rows and measures. But It doesn’t have any column.
It shows at the top a light grey cell (see attached image https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B1mQC-zTrijUSmtXWEFEaHB1cEU/edit?usp=sharing
How could I remove that?
Column properties – labels of column are already disabled.

Hey Victor,
I'm unable to view that file also...
Just curious, if you don't have anything in the column section of the pivot, why not just use a table?
If this is going onto a dashboard the quick and dirty approach is just to make a small CSS change, just throw something like the following into a text object.
    <style>
      .PTCHC0 {border:0px; background-color: #FFFFFF; background-image:none;}
    </style>
