Same dimension twice as drill down

Hii
Is it possible to have one dimension more than once in a report as drill downs? Now I have one dimension called BRANCH, which has levels region, area and branch. I want to drill down based on region, area and branch separately.
Is it possible? Please help me..

Hi Magnus,
If you had Order No. as the first element in your Webi table and Parent ID in the second.
Then you use the Analysis - Outline feature (which is like Groups / Sub Gruops in Excel).
The down side of this is that you can only open up one Order No. at a time!

Dimension Hierarchy - preferred drill down in 11.1.1.5

Hi
I am using the preferred drill down to navigate from one dim hierarchy, to another hierarchy but, it works for some time, then it fails to some.
here is the clear explanation:
dim h1 = region -- > area--->shop number->id1
dim h2= room number ->id2
dim h3= m/c number --> m/c id3
i am trying to build drill down to region - >area-> shop number - > room number - > m/c number
for this i added the preferred drill path from id1 --> room total
and then i added the preferred drill path from id2 --> m/c number
this works for some of them and not for all.
why is this behaviour? does any one face this problem at all...or is that just me...
Please help, little urgent...
Thanks in advance.

Its working...all times....
we dont have data related to that....so it got failed....
Cheers,
Mani.

Web Analysis does not drill down (Essbase datasource)

Hi!
I have a web analysis document which does not drill down to next level when double clicking on a parent level. In my report I have children of Area dimension selected individually and their parent on rows ( this means I have not used selection where I select only top member and its children; this is because one of the children should not be in the report). This is not an security issue, because I have admin rights to the essbase cube.
Usually when double-clicking on a member in report it should drill down to next level. This report does not drill down.
The strange thing is that if I select "Keep Only" for the top member of that dimension and then double-click it then drills down nicely???
When using a excel add-in and retrieving data there the same kind of report drills down without problems. Any ideas why this drill down does not work properly in Workspace (and also in Web Analysis Stuidio) ?
kind regards,
user637777

Hi!
I checked out the dimension in question. It seems to have implied shares (parent having only one child). There seems to be implied shares in almost all child hierarchies which might explain the web analysis behaviour.
We are using V11. The application is an aggregate storage application.

Action Link in obiee 11g for a Hierarchy Drill Down Level

Hi
Requirement is:
We have a Time Dimension Hierarchy with drill down Levels(Year, Qtr, Month, Day). So now i wanted to provide an action link on detailed column(day) which will navigate to other report. I have tried doing it but unable to get the actual solution.
Can anyone throw some ideas on how to achieve this.
Thank You

Hi,
Can u tell me whats the error you r getting over ther,
Use the hierarchy flow, starts with the + symbol,
edit the column properties and go for interaction tab and give action link + drill
check the columns between the 2 reports and assign prompts between the reports then you can get the correct one.

VG

Drill down in obiee 10g

Hi All,
Is there any way when we drilldown a column instead of moving columns to the right side, we need it the columns to be moved to the bottom.
Fro Example
Country 4000
When we click on Country basically it wil give
Country State1 300
........... State2 200 etc...
But we need
Country 4000
State1 300
State2 200
State3 100 etc..
Again en we click on any state then it should be ike
Country 4000
State1 300
..District1 50
..District2 45
..district3 22 etc..
Like the dimension hierarchy level drill down in 11g.
https://blogs.oracle.com/robreynolds/entry/obiee_11g_new_feature_-_hierar
Thanks

No, there's no way to do this in 10g. Hierarchical columns allow this, but they were first introduced in 11g.

How to Avoid Printing the data twice when the sub report has drill down?

Hello,
I have a sub report that has drill down which is placed in report footer.When i run the report sub report displays the data but when i tried to drill down it displays the same data again.After that i can able to drill down on sub report.Is there any way to avoid
printing the same data twice.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
If the subreport you're referring to does not grow in size and it does not span multiple pages and you know the size of it, here's what you can do to stop drilling into subreports :
1) Create a text object as large as the subreport (perhaps bigger than it) and fill it with spaces or new lines
2) Place it 'over' the subreport such that it covers the entire area occupied by the subreport
3) The subreport at all times should be smaller than the text object in all dimensions
Now, when you hover the mouse over the subreport, there isn't any magnifying glass for you to drill down into.
If the subreport has further drill-down functionality, then this isn't for you! Because, it just wouldn't allow you click on any objects in the subreport because of the text object eclipsing it. This is the only workaround I know at this point in time and I know a lot of users are looking for this.
I would suggest that you log this as an Enhancement Request at http://ideas.sap.com for our developers to have a look into this.
And finally, I also found an old forum post where Jamie has suggested a way to get this working on the Business Objects Environment. Give it a shot, if that's where the reports are eventually run.

Advanced template to drill down from one dimension to another

Dear all:
Situation
I am trying to create an report that displays my Accounts by month. In addition, after I double-click each account (if it is a base member), it drills down to open Entity (in my case Cost Center) associated with that Account number. In the Entity drill-down section, once the Entity becomes a base member, it drills down to IO (internal orders) associated with a particular cost center.
Data
1. I tried to manipulate existing "Double Drill Down" dynamic template, and disabled the column expansion (because my columns consist of months of actual vs. budget and some ratio calculation). The problem is that after I drilled down, my EVGTS formula was not replicated in the other dimension
2. I tried to integrate EVEXP into EVDRE but was unsuccessful too... The expansion worked as if everything got expanded at the same time.
Question
Is my approach correct? Is this an even good practice to do, or I should keep it as standard as possible?
Thank you!
Have a great day!
Sincerely,
Brian

The double-drill down dynamic template accommodate my need, except I didn't modify the report to my format correctly.

Drill Down error with more than one dimension

Hello
I'm using AWM 10.2.0.3.0A with Oracle 10.2.0.1.0 and i can't perform drill down operation when i have more than one dimension in the same axis. That is, when i have two dimensions, a can't perform drill down on both dimenions at the same time, but only one at a time.
Would anyone ever had this problem? What can be?
Thanks
Luciano

Hello Brijesh
I succeed do this operation in other works, but not this. After performing drill down in the first dimension, i clicked on the second dimension and nothing happens.
It doesn't emit any error message.
Normally should be able to view the data calculated for the two dimensions. I have 6 small dimensions tables (average of 700 records). I don't know what can be.
Thanks,
Luciano

BPC 7.5 MS Drill Down works on one dimension in rows but not the other

Good day,
Working in BPC 7.5 MS. I have a piped report with 3 dimensions in rows. Members in the first dimension are hard-coded in the expand range. The second dimension is a combination of SELF and DEP members. The third is set to SELF. In our original AppSet, I can double-click drill down on both the second and third dimensions without issue.
I've re-created this report in a new AppSet (same BPC version). All settings are essentially identical (I've double and triple checked). The drill down works on the second dimension, but not the third. I've run out of places to look to find the problem. Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance.
Kim

It took a while but I finally found some quiet time to re-visit this issue. Thank you for the suggestions above. Ultimately I verified that the hierarchy, member selection and tables were all ok.
My next step was to create a new EVDRE with the same members and slowly factor in the piping, membersets, etc. Drill down worked appropriately. So that told me something else was at work.
Turns out the problem was with one of the 'display' columns to the right of the row key range. These columns use formulas to display a triangle if the member isn't calc, thus giving the end user a visual clue that you can drill down on the member. Long story short, BPC just didn't like that formula. A minor change (along with some conditional formatting to replace the piece of formula that was removed) eliminated the problem. Drill down is now working.

Drill down in several blocks at the same time

Hi all!
I have two charts. Both are based on same drillable dimension, with different measures.
Is there any way to drill down on both charts (or tables) by clicking in only one of them? It is, when I click on a dim in chart1, chart1 and chart2 drill down by the dim value clicked on chart1. I hope I made myself clear...
For the record, I checked "Synchronize drill on report blocks" under WebIntelligence user preferences, but still doesn't work.
Any ideas, thanks so much!

Hi Sergi,
The "Syncronize Drill" option should cause this to work. Are you sure they are the same dimension on the same report tab? And are they coming from the same query?
Thanks

Drill-down to multiple columns at same time

Hello,
Is it possible to simultaneously drill down to multiple columns on the same level with one click? I have several attributes that the user will want to see together at all times, so I want to be able to drill from level1 to level2a,2b, and 2c with one click.
Thanks,
Elliot

This drilling down to all the levels may not be available with the OBIEE drill level based hierarchy feature OOTB but as an alternative you can try this at you DB level to create a hierarchy within you data using START WITH and CONNECT BY PRIOR to generate the parent->child levels hierarchy within the view instead of creating multiple hierarchical columns.
Or may be you can try to create separate columns in a table for each hierarchy level. That table could either be in the database or be a logical one in the repository. For example:
Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Description
1 2A 3A
1 2A 3B
1 2B 3A
1 2B 3B
etc
You then create separate reports for each level, so one report has only level1 in it for this dimension, another report has levels 1 an 2 and a third report has levels 1, 2 and 3 etc.
In each report you put an action link on the levels' cells so that if you click on them you drill up or down by displaying a new report with either less or more level columns.
Hope this helps. Pls mark if it does.
Thanks,
SVS

Drill down more than one characteristic at the same time.

Hi,
Is there any way to drill down more than one characteristic at the same time?
When I drill down by 0cust_sales I would like to have drilled down: division/distrchan/salesorg/cust_sales without having to do that one by one.
thank you!

Hi,
This cannot be done unless these characterstics are related to each other in some way as Charactertics & Display Attributes.
The reason being when you drill down the 0cust_sales , there is no link from 0Cust_sales to the other characterstics hence there is no prompt for these characterstics to be drilled down.
However, a smiliar thing might be acheived by adding these chareacterstics into the 0cust_sales in teh query designer by dragging n dropping them over 0cust_sales. you can try this and see if this is close to your requiremetn.
Kind Regards,
Tapish

Drill-Down from several Charts to Same Target

Hi,
we have built a dashboard with 3 (soon to be 6) column charts and one line chart below. The colum charts represent 6 KPIs aggregated for a year for different warehouses. Each warehouse is a specific series (because we want them to have a individual colors). When the user clicks on a warehouse in one of the column charts, we want the line chart above to show the
For this purpose, we have all column charts store drill-down values to the same two cells:
- One cell stores the series name (warehouse selected)
- One cell stores the name of the clicked line chart (we use a single cell with the chart name as source for the first series of each chart. After the first series is selected as the default drill-down, this source and destination seems to be used for every series selected, which might be a bug)
Our problem is, all queries for the charts are loaded at startup. The default drill-downs for all charts are done, and we have a random chart in the drill-down destination. If the user clicks the same chart again, we do not notice this as the value of our target cell does not change. We have tried several solutions for this, but nothing is really satisfactory.
Does any of you have an idea, or a similar dashboard maybe, where the drill-down of several charts (preferably with several series per chart) is stored into a single target chart?
Thanks & Regards,
Sebastian

Hi Sebastian,
You cannot have drill downs from different charts to the same target.
As per your scenario you have 3 column charts with warehouses displaying their respective 3 KPI's values. I believe you would have created a series each for available warehouses. If you have selected drill down on load for all the column charts with one single target then at load all the three column charts will try to place the destination of their selected series(based on warehouse selected) to the same target.
And also as you mentioned when the user tries to select the same chart again the target doesn't change, the reason is the same as all the charts are trying to put the destination of the series in the same cell.
Instead of doing it this way, what you could do is to name the series of all column charts the same and have the series name put into one cell. Then based on this series name you can lookup the data for that warehouse and display it in the line chart.
Here again the user has to select the same warehouse in all the three column charts else it wont work.
Hope this was useful =]
Thanks & Regards

Only Dimension Table Values in Combo Box or Drill Down Selections

Hi All,
How to get only Dimension Table Values instead of Master Data Values in Combo Box or Drill Down Box list of values?
I am getting all the values in 0CALMONTH Combo Box where i need only infoproviders values.
In Entry List tab of Combo Box when i select 0CALMONTH its reading from its Master Data.Is there any option how there is Dimension table in Value help.
In Query, infoobject levels the filter values selection is set as infoprovider only.
Can anyone please let me know how to get only dimension table values when we use combo box.
Thanks & Regards
K.Srinivas Rao

Hi
Create one BI query with only one object in the output of the query. (In your case 0CALMONTH)
So now if when you run the query it will show values which are there in infoprovider. THen drag one form from output of this query in vc & create dropdown list on this.
Is this what you are looking for?

Problem with drill down in time dimension - OBIEE 11G

Hello There,
I have a problem with drill down in time dimension. The hierarchy for time dimension is " Fiscal Year---> Fiscal Quarter---> Month(Name)--->Date". When I select a Time dimension and click results its getting opened in a Pivot table view. The problem here is, when I click the "Total" its getting drilled down to Year ---> Quarter but when I click on "+ sign next to quarter" it should drill down to month for that particular quarter for that particular year but its drilling down to month for that particular quarter for all years.
Any suggestions are much appreciated.
Thanks,
Harry.

1.) Congrats for resurrecting a year-old thread.
2.) Your answer is here: "Check the level key of the quarter level...it should include both quarter and year columns. Since a specific quarter occurs every year, quarter column alone can't be used as the level key."
