Strange calculation results

Hi all,
The situation is as follows:
I created a pivot table which shows profits. The measures, which are shown as the columns of the pivot, are 'Sales', 'Costs', 'Profit' (= 'Sales'-'Costs') & %Profit (= 'Profit' / 'Sales'). The left edge of the pivot 'hosts' a 'Products' hierarchy (Category -> Top Group -> Group -> Family -> Item). I also added OBIEE's default summary calculation. While the sums of all the 'normal' measures are calculated fine, the sum of '%Profit' doesn't show the correct results.
For example (first column is 'Sales', second is 'Cost', third is 'Profit', fourth '%Profit') -
PROD SALES COST PROFIT %PROFIT
Prod4 8089.61 5588.80 2501.81 30.93
Prod2 13111.26 9716.86 3394.40 25.89
Prod3 4001.14 2746.07 1255.07 31.37
Prod 27232.92 16476.41 10756.51 39.50
Prod5 22100.00 14828.77 7271.23 32.90
Prod6 3581.25 2336.80 1244.45 34.75
Prod7 11731.10 7750.91 3980.19 33.93
Total: 89847.28 59443.60 30403.68 33.60
While the 0.02 incorrectness in the PROFIT column is solved when 5 digits after the point are shown, the % is correct for all the products but not for their summaries (even in the extreme case when the values are shown with 15 digits after the point, just for curiosity).
Doens anyone have a clue?

Ha! Rock on, blemmo. :) Glad you found it.

    Hi all,
    At the time of executing a report, after giving the inputs for variables I am getting an warning messager: Warning 'Calculating result as....' was not executed'.
    Kindly advise.

  • 'Calculating result as...' was not executed ???

    Hi,
    can anyone explain me the warning message that i received.
    I have a query, and in its definition, three characteristcs are added to the "rows" (Region, District, StoreId) and the option "Display as hierarchy" is selected, expanding to "Region". Region has 4 values (north, south, east, west) So when query is run, it displays 4 nodes.
    When i execute the query, this warning message shows up "<b>'Calculating result as...' was not executed</b> ". It calculates the results correctly for the first three nodes and fails to calculate it for the last node. The result displayed for the last node is wrong.
    Could you please share your comments on this.
    Thanks
    Gova
    This is the detailed message.
    <b>Diagnosis</b>
    The function 'Calcualte Results As ...' could not be applied everywhere.
    The recalculation of a result cell always takes place based on the amount of detail cells that are subordinate to this cell, that is the detail of this drilldown. For this reason it is not possible to recalculate results in hierarchical lists, that is calculate of a results cell is not performed if a row or column with expansion symbol is subordinate to it. This is because otherwise this newly calculated results would have to change every time a node subordinate to it was expanded. This is not supported for technical reasons and would also confuse the user.
    Note however, that calculate as "Suppress Results" is always executed
    because the above exception does not apply in this case.
    Any answers please. I am known to be generous in assigning points

    Did you ever receive any further information on this topic?  I am receiving the exact error you received and I know this was possible in BW 3.2.  My customers have been using this report now for months.  I would like to know how to activate this same reporting in BW 3.5 
    Thanks so much!

  • Calculation result in the form

    Hi,
    Can I have the field that calculate the List Price x Qty as Amount
    And the field that sums up all the amount.
    Can Form could do this?
    Thanks
    Yuji

    Hi
    Thank you for the e-mail.
    Response table are for my use not customer or fillers can see.
    There is always the need on the part of the filler that they would like to
    confirm the calculated result.
    If not yet supported, I strongly request the formula be supported in the
    future release of forms central.
    Thanks

  • Strange runtime result on forms 10g

    Hi,
    I am using forms 10G. Db is 10G.
    When I run the simple Scott’s emp table
    It runs on internet explorer and instead of giving emp table information it shown something like that:
    <html> <head> ORACLE FORMS.</head>
    <body onload="document.pform.submit();" >
    <form name="pform" action="http://lalo:8889/forms90/f90servlet" method="POST">

    <input type="hidden" name="obr" value="yes">
    <input type="hidden" name="array" value="YES">
    </form> </body></html>
    what is this?
    How should we get the forms simple screen on runtime?
    Where should we get entry so on it runs independently?
    Though is running well on 6i.

  • Warning message "Calculating result as"

    Hi,
    When i execute the query i get a warning message as
    "Warning 'Calculating result as .....'was not executed.
    I am worried that something did not caluclate or the results are incorrect.
    Could any one of you tell me what is causing this error to occur and the nature of the way.I will assign points.
    Thanks,
    Subha

    Hi subhashini,
    "Calculate result as " is something which you find in the "Calculations" tab of the corresponding selection or formula in the query designer. What it usually does is perform Calculations on the displayed result set like count, average and many other aggregate calculations. Check what calculation is defined for the selections in that query and see if you can remove that warning..

  • MSI GTX 770 Lightning LE Edition --- Original/LN2 strange overclock results

    Ok guys this is very strange OVERCLOCK results!! On my gtx 770 Lightning LE card i have 2 bios which need to be physically move(switch) by my hand on Graphis Card!
    In ORGINAL Bios my OC results is higher and better then on LN2 Bios
    MSI Settings on ORGINAL bios:
    Name: GeForce GTX 770 Lightning LE
    Driver Version: 334.89
    Core Voltage: +100
    Power Limired +109%
    Core Clock: +150 Mhz  GPU-Z-> GPU CLOCK: 1222; Boost: 1274 ; GPU 2.0 Boost: 1306 Mhz
    Mmemory Clock: +500
    Picture of ORIGINAL BIOS: http://www.mediafire.com/view/myfiles/#j6zvj9n0u6dhla2
    LN2 BIOS:
    Name: GeForce gtx 770
    Driver Version: 334.89
    Core Voltage: +12
    Power Limited: +109%
    Core Clock : +110Mhz ;  GPU-Z-> GPU CLOCK: 1182; Boost: 1234 ; GPU 2.0 Boost: 1267 Mhz
    Memory Clock: + 500Mhz
    Picture of LN2  BIOS: http://www.mediafire.com/view/myfiles/#oq818435y296uj3
    With LN2 BIOS we need to have more OVERCLOCK potential or not? For me ORGINAL bios give me more OVERCLOCK potential than LN2 BIOS. Why is it so?

    Quote from: flobelix on 26-March-14, 04:10:14
    Obviously you don't understand. LN2 allows to set higher voltages not increase oc potential with the same settings. When setting less extra voltage in LN2 than in normal vbios results can't be better.
    Then why is voltage on "LN2 BIOS" only +12 and on ORIGINAL BIOS much better  +100?
    Look this: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/09/22/msi_geforce_gtx_780_lightning_video_card_review/3#.UzHuZPldWio
    He have more OC potencial with LN2 BIOS! I really don't understand! And in Afterburner writes: MSI gtx 780 Lightning (LN2)
    And when is my card on ORIGINAL bios in Afterburner writes " Graphics Card: MSI GTX 770 Lightning LE"
    When is card on LN2 bios in Afterburner writes "Graphics Card: GeForce gtx 770"
    Look my 2 pictures

  • Strange double calculation result with JDK 1.4.2

    Hi,
    I've written a small benchmark to test the power of a Sharp Zaurus PDA. Wanting to compare it with my workstation, I ran it on the PC with JDK1.4.2 Beta and was really surprised to discover that the double calculation of Pi gave a non-correct result: Pi = 3.1413934230804443!!!
    I've tried to isolate the bug without success at the moment. It only happens when run from the Zjb program in JDK1.4.2, either from the command line or from Eclipse.
    The result is correct when run with JDK1.4.1, JDK1.4.1_01, JDK1.1.8 that are also setup on the PC. I extracted the faulty loop and executed the sniplet, but the result is OK. I added the previous lines (running the Ackerman function to test recursivity and stack management): still OK, from Eclipse and command line.
    I think the problem must be a configuration one on my computer: a 2xPII 350, Win2K SP3. Perhaps the 1.4.2 JVM is using an old library... I can't imagine that the Beta JVM would have such problem.
    Or there is a bug in the program which make the stack or the FPU registers break, but I can't find where: all other platforms I tested gave correct results.
    Could someone with a JDK1.4.2 installation test my program and post what were the results for the Pi calculation?
    The 10KB source is available on http://www.alterna.tv/zjb/Zjb.java
    Thanks.

    Yes, it was the Pentium, at the time when 100MHz was top speed...
    My CPUs are supposed not to suffer from that old disease.
    But if it were the case, new JVM can't drop software patches like this. Today, Intel started again the release of the new P4 at 3GHz, after adding a software patch for the hardware defect they had detected...
    I post the code for my small program here as my Web site is frequently down this week:

  • In iWork 09, Numbers, how do I replace a formula with calculated results for a whole column?

    I have a rather large Numbers spreadsheet.  I have used a formula to create a new column of information.  I now want to replace the formula with the actual results calculated by that formula for each cell in that column, so that I can delete some of the other columns.  How do I do that?

    Copy the cells with the results, then select the destination cell, and use the menu item "Edit > Paste Values".
    You may want to paste to a different location in case you need the source data or formulas in the future.

  • Calculating result as 'Last Value' on a formula

    Hi,
    I'm using the following formula STOCK_on_HAND in a query:
       ( 'Calmonth' < 'Current Month (Number)' ) * 'Stock ACT'
    + ( 'Calmonth' >= 'Current Month (Number)' ) * 'Stock PLAN'
    Calmonth is in collums, Current month is a variable containing the current month.
    'Stock ACT' is keyfigure containing actual inventory figures from R/3
    'Stock PLAN' is keyfigure containing planned (future) inventory figures filled via planning layout from BPS.
    Everything is fine so far. Problem is now that I want to use the result calculation from Bex using the 'Last Value' aggregation result for my selected reporting period. This seems not to work as I always get an 'X' in the result collumn.
    Any ideas?

    Hello,
    You can set the property of the KF under "Calcualtion" tab. Calcualte Result as "last Value" and then based on your report layout, either calcualtion is to be done row or column wise.
    That should diplay the last value in the Total.

  • APEX Views - Strange query results

    One of my customers is running 3.1.2 version of APEX on a 10g database. I had two problems with it today:
    1. I implemented IBM Webseal SSO there and suddenly none of the authorisation schemes were running. Why, I don't know. I had to delete and recreate them.
    2. To be sure I replaced all the old authorization schemes I had to query the apex views. Searching on the non public pages with authorization I noticed some strange results. I run this query
    SELECT page_id
      FROM apex_application_pages
    WHERE page_requires_authentication = 'No' AND application_id = 200and in the result set I received a lot of pages where "Page requires Authentication" was set. I checked and indeed the results were wrong. After that I picked one of the pages from the result set and I set it to "Page is public". After running the same query the page id was not in the result set anymore.
    Has anyone seen this before?

    missing records after query when using a radiogroup are normally caused by an unappropiate setting of the property "Mapping of other values" at the record group. Check your setting for that value.

  • Strange Action results in PSCC

    Last night I was working a lot with actions. Mostly making 1 or 2 step actions with a flatten step and a save step. I'm getting all sorts of strange behavior in my results. In one example, trying to flatten 8 open files with a 1 step action, only six files get flattened. Another example, Using a 1 step save action, only 5 files get saved. Another example, with 8 files open I build a simple Save As action, the end result should give me 8 files in my destination folder. Instead I get 2 files saved. BTW no errors reported in any of these examples. I'm swearing more because of it.
    After experimenting further, I'm finding something truely is broken with the batch processor in CC. I made a 1 step action to flatten file. I had 8 open files on which I ran the action. Only 5 of the files were flattened.

    This is a scripting forum. Action questions should be asked in the Photoshop general forum and bugs should be reported on Adobe Photoshop Family feedback site.

    There is some tracking code which monitors the traffic for
    this page. I
    have been keeping an eye on this, and whilst we have not had
    much
    traffic, it would seem that Google has picked up this file
    and is
    displaying results for it.
    For some reason when searching for "lighting shop" this page
    gets listed
    in seventh position with the title and first paragraph from
    the page it
    is redirected to.
    Anyone have any ideas how to stop this? Its not that the
    traffic isn't
    getting to us, its just that they are getting to us via a
    strange route.
    Why doesn't www.aclighting.com/shop have a higher ranking?
    Its the page
    with the meta information.

    Maybe you should read something about these meta refreshes:

  • Query Profile Option - Strange Query Result

    Hello,
    I'm having a strange situation working with the profile option.
    I have the responsibility MY_RESP associated to the profile option "MY_PROFILE" that is set to the value "Company Business Group Europe".
    Now If I check using the OA which is profile option value associated to the profile option MY_PROFILE I get the right value "Company Business Group Europe".
    If I run a query to check the same thing insted to get the value "Company Business Group Europe" I get a strange number.
    Now I'm having this problem with several profile option values and that's not good 'cause I absolutly need to copy some hundreds of responsibilties with profile options, from an environment to another one and if I cannot get this values using the query it seems enough crazy to get them one by one using the application.
    Do you have an idea about how to resolve this problem?
    The query I was running to see the profile option values set for each profile option of each responsibilty was the following:
    SELECT distinct
    d.responsibility_name user_or_responsibility_name,
    g.user_profile_option_name,
    b.profile_option_value,
    a.start_date_active,
    a.end_date_active,
    a.profile_option_name
    FROM
    applsys.fnd_profile_option_values b,
    applsys.fnd_profile_options a,
    applsys.fnd_responsibility_tl d,
    FND_PROFILE_OPTIONS_VL g
    WHERE
    b.profile_option_id = a.profile_option_id
    and g.profile_option_id = a.profile_option_id
    and b.level_id = 10003
    and b.level_value = d.responsibility_id
    and d.responsibility_name like '%_ES'
    ORDER BY
    d.responsibility_name;
    morover if I run the query
    select PROFILE_OPTION_VALUE
    from fnd_profile_option_values
    where PROFILE_OPTION_VALUE = 'Company Business Group Europe'
    the result is empty...
    Thank you for the tips.

  • Strange key results

    Getting strange results --In PhotoShop when I select the Zoom key I get a minus rather than the usual plus. Sometimes when I use Command-Q the machine asks me if I want to close all programs rather than just the one I'm attempting to leave. I use Drag Thing to navigate my folders and files. Occasionally rather than opening the selected item via the Drag Thing alias, the screen goes to the original and I have to reclick to open it. This seems to occur more often after I've been on the net using Netscape Navigator 7.2. My OS is 10.2.8.
    What is wrong?

    Colleen,
    I assume u are working in a 7.0 Environment to do a join with cubes. Earlier version dont support them. For ur purposes, I think it makes more sense by using Customer and material as join criteria between the cubes. Make sure you also divide the keyfigures with No of records. That might be the reason why you see your keyfigures screwed up.
    Creating ODS is not gonna help u at all.
    Inner join will bring u matching records and Outer join is more like a Union.
