Subtracting Columns (2columns in one measure)

Hi pros,
I am new to OBIEE and still exploring the functionalities. However; I find it difficult in making a way to subtract the values from two columns. For example,I will subtract the values under the column1(year 2009) and column2(year2010) and put the each of the result in the third column. I tried using $1-$2 but later found out that the values of $1 and $2 are different with the values of each columns.
Also is there a way that it would be dynamic based on the dashboard prompts? Because I will not only use 2009 and 2010 as years.
Also what is the meaning of "$"?
Thanks!

Thanks for replying RAM_CH. I forgot to tell, that the 2 columns I am talking about is under one measure only. This measure is called Period Estimates and has several columns under it "2008, 2009, 2010, etc." And I have only limited the results into 2008 and 2009. Do you know how to get the variables under this measure so that it would be dynamic.
By the way it is something like this:
When 2009 is chosen
Period Estimates
2008 2009 09/08Change
$1 $2 $3
Year ago shows up(2008) and the third column should automatically compute for the value of (2009-2008).
I tried $1-$2 but it showed wrong values.
Thanks.

How to put the proper header at each column in write to measurement file (.lvm) ?

Hi,
i would like to know one thing about the write to measurement file. Can i put the proper header at each column in write to measurement file (.lvm) ? and how can i do for it ? Could you show me a way to make it ?

Hi Mike,
Thank you very much for your help. It works .
By the way, i would like to ask you about setting time interval. In the pic, X_Value column is for time column
i would like to ask that when i use the write to measurement file, there got the x column that show time inside the excel file. In this column, i would like to set the time interval at every 210ms .The data may come in every msec but i just want to record the data at every 210ms . for example, 210ms-420ms-630ms ..etc. how can i set it ?
One more thing .. can i do it in graph as well ?
i am looking forward your kindly reply.
Thank you for your time.

If you are OK with displaying comma separated list or column data you could:

4                   row_number() over(order by 1) rn,
5                   count(*) over() cnt
6             from emp
7          )
8    where rn = cnt
9    start with rn = 1
10    connect by rn = prior rn + 1
11 /
ENAME_LIST
SMITH,ALLEN,WARD,JONES,MARTIN,BLAKE,MILLER,SCOTT,KING,TURNER,ADAMS,JAMES,FORD,CLARK
SQL> To display as separate columns you would need to either know number of rows:
SQL> select min(case rn when 1 then ename else null end) ename1,
2          min(case rn when 2 then ename else null end) ename2,

Multi-column Index vs One index for each column

Hello everyone,
i have one table about 20 000 000 rows, some developers have to generate reports on it and i want to create indexes on this table.
The table has 34 columns, no primary key, no unique keys.
The "where..." clause of the reports usually use 8 columns but some reports uses 8 + some other columns.
can any one help me on what kind of indexes do i have to create?
1. one index for each column used in "where clause"
2. one index for 8 columns and some other indexes for other used columns
3. one index for all columns
or something else etc...

or something else etc...What's the version of your data base? what kind of database you have, DWH or OTLP? The answer might depend on the type of database as far as bitmap indexes might suit or might not depending if you are runing DWH or OLTP kind of database
Let me suppose that you are runing OLTP database and you have a where clause with 8 columns.
1) are all those where clause equalities (where col1 = and col2 =) or there are inequalities?
2) could you evaluate the most repetitive columns?
3) could you know the column that could have the best clustering factor (the column which most follow a certain order in the table)
Based on that I would suggest to create one b-tree index having 8 columns (even though that it seems for me to high) this index should follow the following points:
1) put the most repetitive column at the leading edge (and compress the index if necessary)
2) put the columns that are used in equalitity predicate first
3) put the column having the best clustering factor first
The most precise index you have the best access you could gain.
Of course that you have to know that an index access is not always good and a FULL table scan is not always bad.

The key columns of the country measure group attribute do not match in either number or data types to the key columns of the source attribute

I have a country dimension which is used in 5 cubes. Now I want to change 'key column' property of the country attribute. Whenever I do this, I get an error as "The key columns of the country measure group attribute do not match in either number or
data types to the key columns of the source attribute". I dont understand what this error is about.
Can someone please help? Thanks in advance.
-Regards,
Raj Patil

sounds like you need to verify your dimensional usage tab to verify the relationships between dim and fact on the measure group.
Hi Talktorajpatil,
As Jon said, you can verify the relationships between dim and fact on the measure group on the dimensional usage tab. Use this section to define how you "join" your measure groups to your dimensions. There may be a Dimension-Measure Group relationship
that is defined using the wrong attributes and you'll need to select the correct attributes to link the Dimensions to the measure groups. Here are some similar thread for your reference.

How do I make the particular column to editable one in the multicolumn list box?

Your question title & the message you ve posted are contradictory to each other.
Normally a Multicolumn Listbox is a non-editable one, in that while you run you wont get the labeling tool to type some text.
I think you can instead use a Table to achieve your purpose. Also see the below link.

Subtracting Columns from Import File Using Import Script

The file I am importing to FDM contains two amount columns, 1 Debit, 1 Credit. I want to have the Amount field populate as the Debit minus Credits. I have attempted an import script that is giving me an error in the bolded line:

Columns adjustment in one row

Hello,
I hope some1 can help me for these.
I am using apex 3.1.2 ver
My first question: how can I put more columns for example 4 columns with heading in one row? when I do, screen is too wide but i do not want scrolling?
e.g
aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa( ) bbbbbbbbbbbbbb ( ) ccccccccccccccccc ( ) ddddddddddd( )
second question?
how can i display second column value based on first column value before saving the page?
e.g. aaaaaaa(1) bbbbbbbb(should display text value based on first column)
for example 1 - abc
2 - def
3 - ghi and so on.
last question? how can i disable the column? should column enable based on other column? e.g if a then second column take value other disabled?
Many thx.
kind regards,

Irha10 wrote:

02. Submit the page using any event (such as button press or something). So when you enter details to first item and then press button then page will submit and reload the same page.
03. In the page create a before region process and check whether second item is not null and third item is null then populate third item. Then first item is not null and second item null then populate second item.

if ($x('P16_YYY').value !='SOME VALUE')
$x('P16_XXX').disabled = true;
}else
$x('P16_XXX').disabled = false;

How to display Column data in one row

Hello,
I have one Employee with 4 effective date displayed in one column. Effective date is drived by Reason of : New Hire, Rehire, Transfer etc.
I want to show the effective dates for one reason in one single row. For example a person was rehired 4 times it will show as
1006555 6/12/2006 1/2/2007 6/11/2007 5/12/2008 12/29/2008 5/17/2010
It's currntly showing as:
AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
6/12/2006
1/2/2007
6/11/2007
5/12/2008
5/17/2010

Well that's a little tougher... For a solution to work, you're going to need to find a way to differentiate between the the specific hiring events. Without seeing what data is available, I'd say start looking at the use of running totals... or in this case a running count.
Set it up to reset on EmployeeID and count each "event", incrimenting up with each instance.
Then your formula would look more like this...
IF {EventType} = "Rehire" AND {#RTotal1} = 1 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Exit" AND {#RTotal1} = 1 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Rehire" AND {#RTotal1} = 2 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Exit" AND {#RTotal1} = 2 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Rehire" AND {#RTotal1} = 3 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Exit" AND {#RTotal1} = 3 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Rehire" AND {#RTotal1} = 4 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Exit" AND {#RTotal1} = 4 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
This issue then becomes an issue of space on the report. You end up wasting 1/2 of your horizontal space trying to allot for one odd ball... You'll also get to re-work the report if the same employee goes for rounds 5, 6 or 7...
HTH,

Can I use one waveform to subtract from the other one in labview?

Here is the thing.
I am using DAQ to aquire amplified signal to measure its noise of output.However DAQ would contribute a little noise to the whole system.My thinking is to capture two waveforms of noise from DAQ itself and the whole system(amplified circuit and DAQ) and then make the subtration calculation between them.Is it possible to make it with labview?How?
Or can I aquire two groups of signal using DAQ at the same time? If it can't be realised is there some other way?
Thanks

If I'm reading you right I don't think your original concept is valid. If you have already done a good job with wiring, shielding, etc. You won't be able to simply subtract a data collection of "just noise" from a collection of "noise plus signal" and expect the noise to cancel itself out. It's random. A better method would be to collect the same signal several times and then average the results. Even that will only reduce repetitive components in the noise.
As smercurio said however, the most important consideration is to make sure your connection method, grounding, shielding, timing, etc is top notch to prevent noise from contaminating the signal in the first place. I generally use differential signals through good quality twisted pairs with the shield connected on the DAQ side only (to prevent ground loops).

How to subtract ith position of one array from the ith position of another

Hi, everyone,
In my program, I subract one array from another. It should be like X(i) - Y(i)
Can someone explain to me how I can make sure that I'm subracting ith value of array 2 from the ith value of array one? Not , for example, X(i)- Y(i+1)?
Thank you
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hopefully, you are not doing anything more complicated than this:
This does X(i) - Y(i).

Want to Change the Column Indetn Color of Measure Label in a Pivot View

Hello,
I have used the measure labels in the "ROWS" of a pivot table and there is a column header or indent on the top these measure label which is BLUE by default .My requirement is to change that to a different color and if possible put some text there.
(to be simple i see a .PTindent cell ,on the top of measure label which i want to edit from dashboard or reporting end without making any changes to the CSS entry files,becuase this entry can cause effect to all the table already in the environment)
Thanks
Raghu
Edited by: user13136841 on Nov 22, 2010 11:56 AM

Let's try this step by step:
1) In your report add a Static Text view.
2) Add the formula I described:
<style>.PTIndentCell {background-color: #000000;}</style> 3) Check the "Contains HTML Markup" checkbox.
View the Compound Layout or in the Dashboard (viewing the Pivot Table will NOT show the change.)
If you can't see anything than the next thing to check is if you can view HTML. Go to a CHAR column and click on the Data Format tab. What choices do you see if you attempt to override the format? If you see HTML, then okay. If you don't, but only see "Plain Text," than HTML is not enabled. The default for OBIEE is to not allow HTML. You will need to change your instanceconfig.xml file and set the HardenXSS to false. See the link below:
