1) Make a duplicate layer of the measure column.
2) Move the duplicate layer to the far left in the Rows section.
3) Apply the desired sort order.
4) Hide the duplicate layer column.

Try this:
Put the Measure Labels in the Rows section, the Company column in the Columns section, and your Measures in the Measures section.

Scroll Bar for Pivot table in OBIEE reporting Tool

Hi,
Please let me know how to add scroll bar for a pivot table in OBIEE reporting Tool
Thanks,
Usha.
Edited by: Usha.Cholangi on Aug 10, 2011 10:17 PM

Hi Usha,
Not sure about directly implementing scroll bars in a pivot table in OBIEE.
But you can try using an IFrame which would display this report (pivot table) inside it. If the report increases in size (defined size of IFrame), it would automatically add scrollbars to the view.
Let me know if you need more info on these lines.
Thanks

Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?

Is it possible to have Multiple Hierarchies from Single Dimension Table in OBIEE-11g?
Like 1)Year-Qtr-Month-Weeks 2)Year-Month-Days

Hi,
or if your lowest level is the same like
Day->month->year->Total
Day->businessMonth->businessyear->Total
Then yes, it is.
Create the first, then you start to create the second by adding your top(business year) level on the same level as the one you have (year) both under your total.
Then when you would add your second base level, there is a special option for it, something like use other hierarchy level/shared level (sorry can't recall and does not have a connection right now) then you select your existing day level under your businessmonth level.
Hope this helps,
Regards,
D

Sorting Column's Label in Pivot Table

Hi Fellows !!
This is my problem: I have two tables, dates and rates, providing me data for a report. Dates has a DateId (number), Year(number) and Month(varchar2(12)), and Rates has DateId(number) and RateAmount(number). I wrote a quite simple query to obtain report's data:
SELECT DATES.YEAR, DATES.MONTH, RATES.RATEAMOUNT
FROM DATES, RATES
WHERE DATES.DATEID = RATES.DATEID.
I must to show as a pivot each rate by month for each year. Years must be showed as row heading and sorted descending (this already works) and Months must be showed as column's labels. Something like this:
----------|January|February|......|December|
2008 | 737.3 | 372.3 |......| 342.56 |
2007 | 346.2 | 456.6 |......| 678.78 |
The problem is Months always appear in Lexicographical order: April, August, December, ..., September. How can I to define the correct sort for Month ? Thanks in advance for your help.
Edited by: [email protected] on Sep 21, 2009 4:03 PM

Hi Vetsrini, thank you for your answer.
I've included an additional DATES table's field in query, and it contains the number of month, according to your suggestion. Results for query show month's names in proper form, but when I set up the pivot table from template builder and get preview for results (pdf, html, etc), I still get month's names in Lexicographical order. All the examples and documentation tips (sorting tags and others) I've found seems to apply to normal tables, because none of that works in my pivot table. Any other ideas are welcome.

Grand total of 2 measures in pivot table

Hi,
I have a requirement to show in a pivot table in which there are 2 measures - Male_count and Female_count. In the column I have Age_group such as 20-30,30-40 etc. In the row I have grade like assistant, manager etc. The requirement is to show column subtotals - total male count & total female count as well the total no. of employees (F+M) across all age groups. Using the column total I get only the sub total part. How can i get the total part?
Look forward to your inputs.

Issue with null rows and calc measure in pivot table

hello;
id like to ask if anyone encountered a similar behaviour in OBI and if there is woraround for that;
in my BM i have 2 facts tables; i added in BM logical layer a calculated measure (calc_value) ,which is based on 3 other measures coming from these 2 facts tables
:calc_value= value1 / (value2+value3) ; value1 coming from fact1 and value2 / vfalue3 coming from fact2
depending on the chosen dimensions/level in report, the result of the calcuated measure is different ,which is correct;
the lowest level in fact1 and fact2 are customer/product.
in Answers when i select this calculated measure into report, a full outer join gets created, joining these 2 facts tables on all the dimensions that were chosen into the report i.e. in my case year/region/customer/product.
as a result there are null rows created in the db query, if some of these combinations exist in 1st fact table , and do not exist in 2nd fact table and other way round;
when i display result as a table, i can see the calculated measure only on the lines that are common for both fact tables and this is correct;
however - when i create a pivot table, and DO NOT select into the pivot the customer/product (so the lowest level), but still select these items into criteria, then the calc_value is not displayed correctly; instead of the value that would be shown as if calculated at the higher level i.e. year/region, simply 0 is displayed;
i was wondering how this can be corrected, so that OBI displayes in pivot the calc_value as of the level which is shown in pivot (so if i show in pivot year/region/customer/product -> then at this level; if i put customer/product to 'exclude' in pivot, then the level should be year/region);
i noticed if i filter out at least 1 combination that create null rows then the values are shown correctly in pivot (but the db query still contains null rows), so i tend to think this is presentation issue, not design;
id appreciate any tips on how to resolve this issue
OBI vesion: 10.1.3.2
thx
rgds

Hi write a case statement during logical column such that when value is present it takes value else zero for call the values i.e. value1, value2, value3.
i.e. case when column1 is not null then column1 else 0.
Then, do the calculation.
Hope this might helpful for you.

Sorting data by clicking on pivot table header in excel

Hi,
Do you have an elegant idea how to sort pivot table data, based on power pivot model,
by clicking on header (not by using the arrow on the first one).
I'm Using Excel 2013
Thank you in advance!

You could implement a solution using slicers:

Sorting on Totals in a Pivot Table

I am using 10g and I am trying to do a secondary sort on a total column. The columns in my pivot table are region, country, employee headcount by business unit and total headcount. I have the region sorted to get Americas, Asia/Pacific, and EMEA, but i can not get the countries under each region to be sorted by the total headcount.
thanks in advance for any hints.

thanks in advance for any hints.Try this:
1) Grab another instance of your headcount column in your Criteria.
2) Click on the fx and enter SUM(table.headcount by table.Region, table.country)
3) Put this column after the Region column (if you have a duplicate layer in your Rows Section. If Region is in the Sections area of the pivot table, then this column should be farthest left).
4) Sort this column and hide it.

How use "All Values" in the pages of pivot tables

Hi everyone,
I’m using Oracle Bi Answers and I have the following problem:
I’m doing reports based in a datamart with 2 fact table each with about 28 Million records per month and with a medium of 14 dimensions.
The users want to have the choice to select 5 parameters for example (region, district, type of product, month of analysis, subtype of product) where they can select an individual option as well as select an “all values” option. They want this for all the parameters.
We are having problems doing this without having the report to timeout.
Approaches used
We are trying to do this by using pivot tables and combo boxes in the reports (one for each parameter). The combos are in the pages area.
We are trying to do a calculated item with Sum(*) to have a “ALL Values” in the combo box but this makes the report extremely slow.
We also tried to do Sum in the pages section of the pivot table but it only displays the “All pages value” of the first combo box.
So actually I don’t know what to try. Can you help me with the best way to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
I had the same problem, and I solved it using the dashboard prompts.
But sometimes users are not happy. I explaine why.
Suppose a dimension Nation:
Italy, Germany, UK, France, USA
1) I create a report with sales quantity.
2) Report has a filter --> "nation" = is prompted
3) I create a dashboard prompt "Nations" based on dimension Nation with All Values
4) I publish the report in a dashboard with the dashboard prompt "Nations"
When user choose the nation from the prompt, all nations are displayed, also if I have NO sales for some of these.
My goal: only nations with sales must be shown
Thanks

Increasing the width of Pivot table Columns

Hi Gurus,
Small pivot table --> ( ie having less no of columns which generally can be seen in a single page without scrolling to the right)
If i have a small pivot table , then in the column properties through additional formatting options i can increase the width of an individual column.
However if the pivot table is Big,I am not able to increase the width of the individual column .
I tried setting width in the additional formatting options in the Content Properties( just above Rows and below Section there is a small grey box containing finger).
Now the Content Properties indeed increases the width of the column, but it also increase the width of the whole Pivot Table.
See...If i have a fixed number of columns in a PIVOT Table that do not change with prompt, then this solution work fine...
but the problem comes when the no of columns in pivot Table reduces based on the prompt selected.
In this case the less no of columns tries to occupy the whole width set in the content properties.
In short, with Content Properties the width of the PIVOT Table becomes fixed, irrespective of the no of columns coming.
Also after setting content properties, I am not able to print the report to PDF.
So the Question is... Can we increase the width of a Big Pivot Table whose no of columns keeps on changing based on the prompt....
Big pivot table -->
(ie table having no of columns which exceeds a single window frame and have to scroll to right to see the rest of the columns)
I hope i have not made things messy...
Thanks
Ashish

Ashish,
Yes, you can set a fixed size for these. I'm sure you are fixing these because of PDF issue which might be irregular in sizes. Just play arnd with Custom CSS options.

How to place the page items horizontal in pivot table in OBIEE

Hi experts
In pivot table i have two pages items. And i want to place them horizaontaly. So how can i achieve this.
for Ex: I have placed my two columns in page section of pivot table: Year,city.
then i need as ;
Year City
where year is one dropdown list and city is another drop down list.
Thanks in advance
Regards
Sunil

Hi,
We can seperate the page items using 'Start New Page Drop Down', but the item will be displayed in the next line.
I think you would like to show them side by side i.e, horizontally..
If it is, i think it is not possible as of OBIEE 10.1.3.3.. not sure about 10.1.3.4..
Please let me know if my assumption is wrong.. I will be very happy if anyone corrects me..:)

Is it possible to change the data of Pivot Table?

Hello,
I want to develop an excel add-in in .net and want to show the data to user using "Pivot Table".
Is there a way in which I can allow the user to change the cell values of the "Pivot Table" without changing the source data?
Any guidance is highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Vinay,
As far as I know, it's not possible. We can only change those Pivot Table cells that belong to Row Label or Column Label. But we can't change the Value cells. You'll get some errors like "Cannot change this part of a Pivot Table report".
If you just want to display a report with some changes to the original Pivot Table report, I would recommend that you copy the data from the Pivot Table to another worksheet, then modify the values.
