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.

Grand total navigation in pivot

Hi Experts,

i created union request partname,source system name,sales and i created in pivot table.i did row and colomn grand total and now i want to navigate from this grand total to another request... can plz give guide me how to give a drilldown on grand total.
Thanks in advance

Hi,
It might not be possible to drilldown from GrandTotals in pivot table. May be you need to play with obiee by creating new columns explicitly for grand totals and thereon need to drilldown to another report.
Interesting if anyone provides a solution for this.

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

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.

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 view Problem

hello,
I have two rows in pivot view, also totals have shown as percentage , but now i want to show the % for first row in view ( how can i hide the second row)?
if i hide second row with rownumber , first row percentage is showing 100% which is incorrect ,, how can i slove this?
Please help me !!

Hi,
Probably, you can try this:
In the criteria, create a new column 'RCOUNT(dimension) ' and create a filter saying that, 'RCOUNT(dimension)' = 1, which gets you the first row and also to calculate the %, use the same way you have used before: 100*(measure)/(sum(measure)).
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
Chandu.

Customizing grand total columns in pivot view

Hi,
I need to customize grand total column name in pivot view
ex: If i have two measure order quantity and order amount when i am selecting aggregation after in column properties it is getting grand total i need to display as grand total for OQ and grand total for OA
Please give suggestions
Thanks,
Kartheek.

Hi Kartheek,
In Pivot View, the default Grand Total can not be renamed to have measure specific grand total labe (The one which we specify in the pivot view either by row or column).
But you can try having one seperate measure (in criteria) which will calculate the grand total of each measure by dimensions, which are available on the report.
In sort you can achieve this using table and narrative view together (Not by pivot view).
Expresion to be used for grand total in report criteria is Sum( Measure By Dim1, dim2... DimN)
where Dim1 and dim2 are the dimesional column available on the report and measure is you OQ/OA.
Create a table view as a default view (do not add any report level agg) and then add narrative view to display the Grand total OQ and Grand Total OA. You can add your custom lables with HTML tag, disply the 1st row only as the values will be repeated for grand total.
If you find any other solution do let me know. As of now I can think of this as a best solution.

Kashi

Grand total in Pivot view in OBIEE

Hi
I have a requirement to show a particulra report in a pivot view whereby I have to keep the yearly values in the "ROWS" portion and the monthly capex values in the "Measures" portion.
The problem is when I am using the grand total functionality, the grand total is coming only for the monthly values which have kept in the "Measures" and not for the yearly capex values in Rows portion even though the aggregation rule is set as "sum".
I have to show the grand total for the yealy capex value as well.

Raghu
I tried that option but nothing is coming out.
the requirement is as such : Pivot Table
Year - 2009
-----------Rows -------------------- ----Measure----
Capex id Act Amt. Jan feb Mar
1-5d 500 50 60 70
1-6d 600 50 50 50
Total -------------------<>-----------100 110 120
I want the Total for Act Amt. as well but its not coming

Navigation of Grand total in pivot table

I’m currently working in report development Oracle BI wherein I need to develop a report using pivot table. I need to do summation at both row and column level and when clicked on the Grand Total level it should display entire resultset. According to the data clicked the filter condition is passed on to next level of report, but it displays no results at total level as the filter is passed as the same name ‘Grand Total’(column heading) instead of the actual values.
Any pointers on this would be helpful to us.

i am experiencing the same proble.I hope you are creating calculated item and you are clciking on measure value corresponding to calculated item.In that case it will pass calculated item name to child report .Correct me if i am wrong.
I think it is not possible in that case to pass correct filters.Wait for others comments.

Sandeep

Hi,
Its Permissions issue.can u please try to do it outside local mechine(just open IE8 then call the server url from outside ). i hope u tried inside server pc its limited permissions for logged in users thats why its not allowing to do edit the anaysis report.
let say u have DEV/UAT servers the application installed with some other users (admin group user or power user) while u r accessing and doing devalopment better to use outside browers .
Note: i have also faced same issues (IE8 browser security level permission in win 2008 server).solution u can just try to access the url from outside server.

Grands totals for % Columns coming incorrect in pivot view .

Hello ,
I have the below scenario . Iam trying to get the calculated grand total for % column . I tired several ways ...like report aggregates enabled in instanceconfig,tried creating cal colum using physical columns as well as logical columns in RPD , changing the aggregation rule. The row wise values (%) are coming correct but iam unable to get correct % grand total (36.8%) instead iam just getting the sum of the % total ( 83.3%) . I have tried the above options in my previous reports and those conditions work perfectly right but for this report they are not able to . kindly please let me know if anybody has a solution for this issue .
Department ...USD CAD Variance (USD/CAD)*100
XYZ 10 20 50%
ABC 25 75 33.3%
Total 35 95 36.8% ( 35/95)
Thanks
Karthik

Just to cross check
Do you have following tag in your instanceconfig file ? if its not there then you may encounter grand total incorrect calculations.
<ReportAggregateEnabled>true</ReportAggregateEnabled>

Can't see Pivot view in Navigated report.

Hello all-
I have a main page report and a navigated report which is linked to one column of main page report.
I used Pivot views for boh the reports.
However, I could see Pivot results on dashboard for main report but, When I navigate to the second report, it is not being shown in Pivot view ( I need Totals which can be obtained through pivot view).
Where do I need to check?
Thanks

Insted of giving navigation to a report give navigation to a page.Create a separate page for the navigated report(pivot) and hide the page.Then try it will work.
