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.

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.

Column Order in a pivot table

Hi,
I have a question about the column order in a Pivot Table in a WebI (xi r3.1) report
At the moment I have the following Pivot Table
                   |1                                                 | 2
                   | Produced Water | Produced Oil | Produced Water | Produced Oil
Platform 1   | 2                         | 3                    | 4                         | 5

I want to have the following pivot table instead
                    | Produced Water                         | Produced Oil
                    | 1                         | 2                    | 1                         | 2
Platform 1    | 2                         | 4                    | 3                         | 5
Platform 2    | 3                         | 5                    | 4                         | 6
Is it possible to setup the above pivot table in a WebI report?
Many Thanks for any help,
Dirk Jan

Dirk Jan,
That's a question regurlarly asked to me by users and the solution (as long as nobody is comming up with a better one) is to create variables for the measures for each month (using the WHERE operator).
So you need to define 12 variables (for each month) for Product Oil and Product Water (PO month1, PO month 2, ...., PW month 1, PW month 2 ....) using the formula (eg. PO month1):
=[Product Oil] Where ([month] = 1)
Then instead of a crosstab you build a table where you can put the variables in any order you want.

How to change labels in pivot tabls

I have created a report combining two cubes. From one cube I select the total room nights and total revenue, and from the other cube I filter on room nights and room revenue for a certain company.
The goal is two compare how much revenue and room nights from the total is coming from this company.
I used there the combine with similar request functionalities and added one column in each cube for the purpose to create the labels "Tot room nights", "Company room nights". This works as well, however under Room Revenue in pivot tables it shows "Tot room nights", "Company room nights" as well, which is wrong.
Attached screens shots for better understing.
I have tried to create the label for the revenue as well, but it doesn't work.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
to handle GuiXT central in SAP: use transaction SHD0. There is also an online help for further information.
in SHD0 transaction variants are defined: alternative tcodes, where normally fields are hidden and default values are assigned.
Enter standard tcode in field TCODE, enter z-tcode in field TCVARIANT and create just something for playing...
In upper part you will find flag GiuXT-Script and in upper part is 'i'-button for help in using this transaction (this blue-i-help-button is also in starting screen, docu is implemented like SPRO-docu).
Approach with SHD0 ensures transportation of scripts and automated download to local Guis - so some help to handle bigger installations.

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.
OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0
Regards,
Víctor

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>

Sort on the Measure in Pivot table in OBIEE 11g

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.

where exactly do you have a title in a pivot? you sure its not a title for the entire report?
if its the latter then you can add an narrative and apply what you tried ( e.g. @1)

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:

How to Sort Dimension in Pivot Table via Order Column which is changing like Factual values

Hi,
Recently in of our product offerings we got stuck on this following question:
How to Sort Dimension based on the Order Value which Keeps Changing with Factual Values??
We have a data source laid out as (example)
In the above the “Order” columns are changing per
Company/(DimensionA) for DimesnsionB.
Instead what we want is: (But only if we can get the following result without putting the “Order” Column in the “Values” Section.
If there are any configurations that we can make to our power pivot model for the similar data set so that the
DimesnionB in this case can be sorted by the Order column, would be greatly helpful to us.
Sample File:
http://tms.managility.com.au/query_example.xlsx
Thanks
Amol

Hi Amol,
According to your description, you need to sort dimension members in Pivot Table via order column, and you don't want the order column show on the Pivot table, right?
Based on my research, we can sort the data on the Pivot table based on one of the columns in that table, and we cannot sort the data based on the columns that not existed on the Pivot table. So in your scenario, to achieve your requirement, you can
add the column to pivot table and hide it.

Problem of sorting month name in pivot table

Hello,
I have a month name that is sorted by month number in my repository.
When I select Year + month name + measure sorted by year then by month name and I look the result in a table, everything works perfectly but when I switch to a pivot table the sorting doesn't work : the pivot table sorts my month name in an alphabetical order instead of using the month number .... Is it normal ?
To find a solution, I have added my month number and I have sorted by year then by month number and I have hidden my column month number. This have solved my problem for the pivot table but if I attached a chart to it (by selecting "Chart Pivoted Results"), the label of the bottom axis contains the month number and the month name and I haven't found where I can hide this month number. Why the hidden option only works on the pivot table and not on the pivot chart ? And how I can do that ?
Thanks in advance for your help.

No there is no Transient attribute involved , could you please tell me what might cause this error .
Basically this page is for inserting a record.
Thanks ,

3) Place this column in the Rows section of your pivot table. Apply ascending sort order.
4) Hide the column.
Your Totals (After) column (the sigma sign in the Columns section of your pivot table) willl be sorted.

How to sort column totals in pivot view

Hello guys
I have a report in pivot view where I have put call type on the column section. So the report looks like below with SUM applied at the column section:
                                   Call Type1         Call Type2       Call Type3               TOTAL
ID                                        SALES TOTAL
A                                  100                  200                300                       500
B                                  200                  200                400                       800
C
D
EMy question, how do I sort the data in 'TOTAL' field? The challenge it seems is that since 'TOTAL' isn't a table column, but just a display of pivot Sum, it can't be sorted H-L or L-H..
But I'd like to have some advice from you guys before I make my conclusion
Thanks
Edited by: user7276913 on Jan 11, 2010 10:05 AM

You can't have the sorting on the total in Pivot table.
On a workaround,
you can create a column in the criteria which calculate the sum
SUM(sales_total by ID)Assign sorting order on this column
You can exclude this column in the pivot table
