Problems in Discoverer Grand Total

Hi,
I have a problem regarding group total in discoverer. I have two calculated columns suppose A and B and theier group totals at bottom. Now I have another column C which is B/A. The problem is grand total of C gives the totals of row values for C. Instead of that I want grand total of C = grand total of B/grand total of A.
How could that be possible?
Please help.

You would need to provide more detail about your 3 columns. On your column C total, are you using SUM or CELL SUM? That would be the first thing that I would look at. Certainly Discoverer is tricky about this kind of stuff. I have worked on true data warehouse software where you could define the total cell for column D to be the SUM(Column A) / SUM(Column B). Unfortunately Discoverer is not so straightforward as that.

Wrong SSAS Grand Total Value Monthly Value base on Weekly Value

Dear All,
I Have calculated measures in my cube base on Weekly and Base on Monthly and different
Template Base .
For grand Total Weekly is fine but for Monthly is bad one.
Say calculated Measure Name "Weekly" with Syntax
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Weekly]
AS IIF(isempty([Measures].[Actual Quantity MTD]) or [Measures].[Actual Quantity MTD]=0 or isempty([Measures].[Original Plan Quantity MTD]) , null ,
IIF([Measures].[Original Plan Quantity MTD] =0 or isempty([Measures].[Original Plan Quantity MTD]),null,
IIF(
([Measures].[Actual Quantity MTD]-[Measures].[Original Plan Quantity MTD]) > 0 , 1 ,[Measures].[Actual Quantity MTD]/ [Measures].[Original Plan Quantity MTD] )))
The Result is good
here the picture
http://hpics.li/9fd22f2
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByY5H-XcydgiWGp0RzdWYWp0M2c&authuser=0
and for Monthly Calculation it was AVG of Weekly base on Time, Plant, and PSL Dimension
My calculated Monthly Measure Name "Monthly" with Syntax
CREATE MEMBER CURRENTCUBE.[Measures].[Monthly]
AS AVG (
DESCENDANTS([PSL].[PSL Description])*
DESCENDANTS([Plant].[Plant])*
DESCENDANTS([Finish Date].[Calendar],[Finish Date].[Calendar].[Month Year])
, AVG(([Finish Date].[Calendar].CURRENTMEMBER.CHILDREN), [Measures].[Weekly]))
The Result is Bad on Grand total
here the Picture link
http://hpics.li/5233b50
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0ByY5H-XcydgicEhtT1FpekRsbW8&authuser=0
Please help me why for the Result doesn't same. What do i Miss
Thank You
Yan

Hi Yan,
According to your description, you create a calculated measure in your cube, the problem is that grand Total for Monthly is incorrect, right?
In your scenario, the issue can be caused by that you used "*" and "/" in your calculated measure. In SSAS, one of the most common issues faced in mdx is grand total or sub total not coming properly when some arithmetic operations like
measure1 [* or + or - or /] measure2 is used, please refer to the link below to see the details.

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

Hello;
Im facing exactly the same issue. Did you find any workaround ?

Grand total for user

Hello,
Using obiee 11g,
I am trying to build a report where i am trying do a count(distinct un),so i created a logical column for that and using that in my answers.
The un i am showing for over months.IS works fine except that the grand total shows wrong.
Grand total just adds the months total and not just do a count distinct for un.
Aggregation rule is set as default.
Would like to know how to do this?
Thanks

Hello,
Its not working that way.
Let me explain my case in detail.Problem is only in case of GRAND TOTAl.
I am showing different cases,users and export for each month.
So cases and users are used everywhere so i created a logical column in the RPD.
count(distinct caseid) and count(distinct userid) as cid and uid and using that in my answers.
export count since not used everywhere initially i took that column into my answers and then did a count(xportcount) in my answers
so i have now
cid-uid-count(xportcount) as 3 columns in my answers.But here the problem is my Grand total for uid comes wrong.
Instead of doing a distinct users for all the months selected it just shows the grand total as sum for users
Like jan-16 users feb -17 users then the total is 16+17 and not the distinct users from jan and feb.
Grand total for case and exportcount is correct because i need a sum in that case so aggregation rule as deault works fine here.
Here the problem which i feel is the count distinct which i am doing for caseid and uid and not exportcount.
In my second scenario i did like created a separted column count(exportcount) in the rpd, then used that in my answers.
But still no use
In my third sceanario i created a count(distinct exportcount) in the rpd and using that in my answers
now it feels it works fine.
I wnat to know is this the way BI works.
I am bit confused now.
Is there a way other then this to do.
I wanted first,second sceanario also to work but doesnt feel like working is there a way to make it work?
Thanks

Grand Total problem

I have grand total problem. This is my pivot table.

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.

Grand Total on Count Distinct - Crosstab

Hello
I use Discoverer 9.0.2.39.01.
On a crosstab layout: the data point is a count distinct item ,
I use Grand total at bottom and also Grand total at right.
Both totals are displayed correct but the cell combining between them is blank.
The join between the two tables is one to one and I use NVL on the count distinct item. how can I overcome the problem and cuase th blank cell to display the result of both totals?

I'd just reiterate a couple of things to try.
1. reverse the join - I realize you mentioned it seems to work for simple total, but this has to be one of the most popular errors
2. check for NULLs in the data (ie: to_number(NVL(item, '0')), etc.
If still not working, then logically, what would be causing a count of distinct items not to display (ie: NULL would explain it as I would think the COUNT would screw up with not knowing how to handle a NULL).
By why count(item) would work and count_distinct(item) wouldn't is an interesting problem.

Using Rollup to get subtotals and grand total - missing right pren error

Hello,
I am trying to create sub totals by person_id and a grand total row in my APEX report but I get a "missing right pren error." I finally figure out that I need to eliminate column alias names to fix this problem, however, I now get an ambigous column reference. I am making this change in my main SQL report statement, however, I was wondering if I should be using the "group by Rollup" somewhere else while using "Break Formatting."
I would appreciate any help.
Thanks

Can you post the Query please?

Printing Grand Totals in Footer along with page total

Hi
I have a report which prints PO Header and PO Lines. For each page while iterating thru PO Lines I print page total in the footer.
Once all PO Lines are printed with page totals in the footer of each page, I want to print Grand total in the last page in the footer along with last page total. Currently my XML data has pre-computed grand total in the PO Header block.
The problem
I have wrapped header and lines inside <?start:body?> and <?end:body?> which allows me to print page totals outside the <?end:body?> tag.
I print page totals and "Continue" next to it in the footer. But
Finally when grand total comes into picture in the outer loop I want to replace "Continue" text with grand total value in the last page and print it as footer.
I tried to use xdoxlt:set_variable() function to flag a variable value to 1 when iteration happens in HEADER block and set it to 2 in inner loop of lines block. But the scope of the variable is confined between <?start:body?> and < ?end:body? and is not visible outside the <?end:body?> tag.
The logic I want to accomplish is
if var = 1 then
print page total and "Continue"
elsif var = 2 then
print page total and Grand Total.
end if
This logic doest work as the value of var is not visible outside the body tag.
I want to use this variable value to print footer which lies outside <?end:body?> tag with grand totalor page total
Please suggest if there is any other way I can accomplish this functionality. Can we use parameter and update it. Syntax for update parameter value is not clear in user guide.
Any help would be appreciated.
thanks
sukarna

thanks for the info, i was trying to avoid this but had already reached the same conclusion.
everything else seems to be very time consuming and may not work correctly in the end.
we're on Oracle Applications : 11.5.10.2 which has just been converted to utf-8 and is an Oracle On-Demand installation.
do you know if 5.6.3 of the publisher is supported and any ideas on how difficult it is to get it installed?

Ssrs 2008 grand totals of report

In an SSRS 2008 report, I am placing a grand total amount in the report footer since I want the amount at the very end of the report.
The problem is when the report is exported to PDF, the amount is a long ways from where the detail lines are located at.
Thus can you tell me how to make the data in the report footer change to be closer to the detail lines?

In your report design make sure you remove as much white space as possible from the main body of the report

How to set Grand Total of a Measure when its aggregation rule is Max in Logical Layer

Hi
I have a Measure Column (Budget) and in Logical layer the aggregation rule is set as (Max) which looks like Max(Budget). But now it is included in the report and when my client is trying to see its grand total, it is giving the Max Budget figure of the report rather than giving the total sum(grand total).
Kindly share some ideas in achieving the grand total without disturbing the actual aggregation of the measure.

Thank You for your reply.
In my case i don't have a problem with aggregation for Budget Measure(max(Fact_XXKC_SHIP_TO_BUDGET_CAT_F.SALESREP_BUDGET_YTD)). This is the aggregation rule applied on the Salesrep Budget YTD.
Now i created a report with columns
Salesrepresntative(Dimension),, Sales Invoices(Measure1),, SALESREP_BUDGET_YTD(Measure 2).
In the above report the values are perfect, but when we used Grand total option at ROW level in table view, the grand total of Measure1 is cumulative of all the rows, but the Grand total of SALESREP_BUDGET_YTD (measure2) is the max of all the columns.
What i require is the Grand total of SALESREP_BUDGET_YTD (measure 2) should be cumulative of all the columns.
I have shared my SQL query, kindly verify it and share any idea.

How to display grand total only on the last page of my report

Hello
I need to display the grand total amount of the invoice only on the last page of every report. If the report has 1 page then the grand total will be displayed on the 1st page. If the report has 2 pages then a subtotal will be displayed on the 1st page adding up all the amounts on page 1 only, and the grand total will be displayed on the 2nd page, adding up all the amounts of page 1 and 2. If the report has 3 pages then the a subtotal will be displayed on page 1 adding up all the amounts of page 1, and another subtotal on page 2 adding up all the amounts of page 2, and the grand total are displayed on page 3 adding up the amounts of every page.
supplier amount
xx 100
yy 100
subtotal 200
page 1 of 2 --here i need to display only the total amounts of page 1
supplier amount
subtotal brought forward 200 --then i need to bring total of page 1 over to page 2
qq 300
zz 300
total 800 --here i have reached the end of the report and
need to display the grand total
page 2 of 2
--Currently i am displaying this on my report
supplier amount
xx 100
yy 100
total 800 --this one gives the problem cause it displays the grand total
---------- on page 1 of 2 even before you can see the amounts on the

put the grand total in a frame and set it to print on the last page of the enclosing object.

Grand total values are not matching with Detail report

Report has grand totals and when I drill to the detail report, grand total values are NOT matching with parent report totals, I did some analysis but I'm clueless on this issue.
Please provide your thoughts and insight on this issue..
Thanks

is your summary and detail reports hitting different facts, like summary hitting aggregate and detail report hitting it's corresponding detail level fact..?
if then,
From Front-end:
Fix the filter values in detail report that are passing from master report then try delete each columns then check the grand total. If you found your values is matching by deleting particular column then you need to investigate what is the issue around with that dimension table..
From Database side:
1. check first aggregate table has proper aggregate data of it's detail..
2. Take the detail report obiee generated query and try to comment each dimension table and it's corresponding joins to the facts, (before, this delete all the dimensional columns and other measures from select statement and put only that measure where you are getting wrong value, so that you need not to comment all the select and group by columns which saves your time.. ). Need to check by commenting each dimensional wid and it's table from clause, if you found that values is matching then there is some problem with wid columns data population in your ETL.
Is that BI-Apps project?
btw, whtz ur name?
