Top 'n' using rank () function

Hi...
I'm using BO XI 3.0. In my report I need a user to enter TOP 'n' (n=5,10,20,50,100).
For example:
Caller No           No of Calls
23467891              10
67698089              35
22377868              17
76378467              10
76374678              20
89978978               6
87786777              11
I already create dimension object for Caller No and measure object for No of Calls in universe.
So I use a rank filter in edit query but it doesn't work.
I also create another measure object in universe name =ranking
rank(No_of_Calls) over(partition by (Caller No) order by (No_of_Calls)).. but it's not work...
So can anybody help me....thanks

Hi,
Following information might be helpful in resolving the issue.
General Syntax of Ranking :
Rank( measure; (dimensions); [Top|Bottom])
Here is the work flow with an example :- (use efashion universe )
1) Create a webi report selecting objects quarter, year, sales revenue and create a cross tab
2) While creating a cross tab, use the Object Year in columns and object Quarter for rows.
3)Define a variable Var1 = Rank ([Sales Revenue] ; [Quarter]; [Year]) ForEach ([Year])
4) Insert a blank column next to year in the cross tab.
5) Drag and drop the variable Var1 in the new blank column inserted next to Object Year..
You will now find that you have ranking for the years 2001, 2002, 2003 being reflected
independently.

How to use "Rank" function in Oracle?

I need to display Top 15 records by using rank function.
Here is my query...I need to pull top 15 FAQ's using the below query.. How can I use RANK function to display the Top 15 FAQ"s in the list.
Select distinct SUb1.FAQ,Sub1.FAQ_Hits,GU.display_Name_FMLS as displayname,ev.ParentLinkrecordid,ev.userid from User GU
Join Event ev
ON LOWER (ev.userid) IN (LOWER (GU.lanid), LOWER (Gu.racfid))
Join (Select distinct sm.stem as FAQ,Sum(ev.Eventresults) as FAQ_Hits,ev.ParentLinkrecordid as Topic_ID from Event ev
Join SubjectMatter sm
ON (TO_CHAR (sm.smrecordid) = ev.eventdetail1) AND ev.eventdetail1 IS NOT NULL AND sm.smtype = 1
Where (Upper(ev.eventsubtype) in (Upper('FAQ'),Upper('OPENFAQ')))
AND TO_DATE (eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') >= TO_DATE ('20100601', 'yyyymmdd')
and TO_DATE (eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') <= TO_DATE ('20100831', 'yyyymmdd')
Group by sm.stem,ev.Parentlinkrecordid
order by FAQ )sub1
ON Sub1.Topic_ID = ev.ParentLinkrecordid)

A few bits that I noticed in the query ...
in (Upper('FAQ'),Upper('OPENFAQ'))1) Do you really a upper for a string which is already in upper case.
Select distinct sm.stem as FAQ,Sum(ev.Eventresults) as FAQ_Hits,ev.ParentLinkrecordid as Topic_ID2) Do you need a distinct when you are using a GROUP function viz. SUM ?
You rank query is as follows, I am not very good at the ANSI style JOIN so changed it slightly ... :-)
Also notice the usage rank function in the "sub1" query.
select distinct sub1.faq,
                sub1.faq_hits,
                gu.display_name_fmls as displayname,
                ev.parentlinkrecordid,
                ev.userid
from user gu, event ev,
(select rank() over (order by sum(ev.eventresults) desc) rnk,
          sum(ev.eventresults) as faq_hits,
          sm.stem as faq,
          ev.parentlinkrecordid as topic_id
     from event ev, subjectmatter sm
    where (to_char(sm.smrecordid) = ev.eventdetail1)
      and ev.eventdetail1 is not null
      and sm.smtype = 1
      AND upper(ev.eventsubtype) in ('FAQ', 'OPENFAQ')
      and to_date(eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') >= to_date('20100601', 'yyyymmdd')
      and to_date(eventdatetime, 'yyyy-mm-dd hh24:mi:ss') <= to_date('20100831', 'yyyymmdd')
    group by sm.stem, ev.parentlinkrecordid
    order by faq) sub1
where lower(ev.userid) in (lower(gu.lanid), lower(gu.racfid))
and sub1.topic_id = ev.parentlinkrecordid)
and sub1.rnk <= 15;Like mentioned above, some sample data would have helped.

Error using Rank function in Answers

Hi All,
Am trying to generate a report in Answers which lists Top Accounts with Revenue.
I Ranked the Revenue field and it is returning me correct values. ( Rank(account.revenue) )
But, when I try to filter on this field and restrict the rows which shows only top 10 Accounts, it is returning the following error:

How to display total values of revenue after applying top 5 using rank?

Dear Team,
I have a requirement to display sum of all revenues after applying top 5 using rank in Webi.
for Eg:
revenue product
100      aa
200      bb
300      cc
400      dd
500      ee
600      ff
700      gg
If i apply top 5 using rank i will be getting in my output:700, 600,500,400, 300.
But simultaneously i want to get sum of all revenue values (i.e) 2800.
How to achieve this? ur suggestion is much appreciated.
Regards,
Bansi

Hi Bansi,
You can use =nofilter([Revenue])
or sum([Revenue] in report)

Reporting-Top 10 and Rank() function

Need to modify Top 10 Opportunities Pre-defined analysis report. In doing so, we loose the drop down Fiscal Qtr/Year. The only option is to create a Pivot table, and use Fiscal Qtr/Year as a selector. The issue is that I need to be able to retrieve the Top 10 for every Quarter/Year. What is happening now is that the report is pulling Top 10 Opportunities for the entire report, and when we select the Fiscal Quarter/Year, if a Top 10 Opportunities exists, it will return a record(s). If not, it returns 0. Need Top 10 for every quarter.
The Rank function is used. How do I achieve this using this functionality?
Thank you.

Hi,
Following information might be helpful in resolving the issue.
General Syntax of Ranking :
Rank( measure; (dimensions); [Top|Bottom])
Here is the work flow with an example :- (use efashion universe )
1) Create a webi report selecting objects quarter, year, sales revenue and create a cross tab
2) While creating a cross tab, use the Object Year in columns and object Quarter for rows.
3)Define a variable Var1 = Rank ([Sales Revenue] ; [Quarter]; [Year]) ForEach ([Year])
4) Insert a blank column next to year in the cross tab.
5) Drag and drop the variable Var1 in the new blank column inserted next to Object Year..
You will now find that you have ranking for the years 2001, 2002, 2003 being reflected
independently.

The output should be as instead

Can It be done like this ?

Then why asking how to do this? Are you testing us? Doesn't that site say how to achieve this?

Thanks ,

Hi, Deekay,
Analytic functions (inlcude RANK) are computed after the WHERE cluase is appled.
To use the results of an analytic function in a WHERE clause, first compute the analytic function in a sub-query, then use the value in the WHERE clause of a super-query, like this:
select     empno
,     operation
from      (     -- Begin sub-query to compute time_rank
            select empno
            ,       operation
            ,       RANK () OVER ( PARTITION BY empno
                                           ORDER BY      operation_time     DESC
                              )           AS time_rank
            from    emp_changes
            where   operation_time     BETWEEN (
                                                select max_time
                                  from    emp_metadata
                         AND      sysdate
     )       -- End sub-query to compute time_rank
WHERE     time_rank     = 1
;If you'd like to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your data, then I could test this.
While it is possible to see which is the highest number returned by RANK, it is easier to see which is the lowest number; the lowest number is always 1. That's why I used DESCending order.

How to use rank function in obiee rpd using evalute..

i created a logical column:
EVALUATE('RANK() OVER (PARTITION BY %1,%2)' AS DOUBLE PRECISION , Composites.Composites_Fact.MEMBER_LOCKED_BASE_RETURN, Composites.Composites_Fact.COMP_ID)
please provide some solution

There is a known bug with EVALUATE when returning numbers. When I has the same problem Oracle Metalink has adviced to use CAST on the end result of the EVALUATE and return it as a FLOAT datatype.
CAST(EVALUATE('my_function(%1)', logical_table.ROWID) AS FLOAT)

Using Rank function in mdx

I have the following data in my cube
Prod ID Account ID     Measure
1            10                    20
2            10                    20
2            20                    10
Now I want an mdx query which would show an aggregation against the Account ID 10 as 20 only and not 40 as the Account ID is the same which means the desired output has to be something like
Account ID Measure
10                20
20                10
Note that Prod ID and Account ID are from different Dimensions.
Please let me know how do I do this in MDX. Any help is greatly appreciated!!

Hi N
Another option is to use the Generate function and just take the last Prod Id for each Account. Your MDX will look something like
select non empty
{[Measures].[MyMeasure]
} on 0,
non empty
generate([Account ID].[Account ID].[Account ID].members
,tail(nonempty([Prod ID].Prod ID].Prod ID]*[Account ID].[Account ID].currentmember,[Measures].[MyMeasure]),1))
on 1

Wrong order in pivot table using Rank function

Hi Gurus,
I have the following query:
SELECT Periods."Year" saw_0, Periods."Month" saw_1, SalesFacts.Dollars saw_2, RANK(SalesFacts.Dollars BY Periods."Year") saw_3
FROM SupplierSales ORDER BY saw_0, saw_3
In table view the order is correct.
However in pivot table for 1998 (year) the order is correct, for 1999 not!
Ordering : 1. Year, 2. RANK
Page: Year, Rows : Months
Measures : Dollars and RANK
( I tried to put the RANK into Rows section, the result is same )
What is the reason of this strange behavior?
Thanks
Laszlo

Try Sort Column and Row properties given in pivot Table Chart...
Maybe your problem will resolve

Rank function use in MDX

Hi Expert,
Could you please let me know how can I use rank function in MDX to achieve the result in below format. Highest value should be ranked as 1
Actual/Expected Dataset appears as:
Thanks Chandan

Hi C,
You can use the mdx RANK() function. For example, this query has ranking of cities by sales amount. You could create two sets, and two calcs with RANK() functions for your challenge.
WITH
SET OrderedCities AS Order
([Geography].[City].[City].members
, [Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount], BDESC
MEMBER [Measures].[City Rank] AS Rank
([Geography].[City].CurrentMember, OrderedCities)
SELECT {[Measures].[City Rank],[Measures].[Reseller Sales Amount],[Measures].[City Rank]} ON 0
,[Geography].[City].[City].MEMBERS
ON 1
FROM [Adventure Works]
Hope that helps,
Richard

Rank function on Union reports

Hi All,
I have a requirement where i have 2 reports the first report is a single and simple report where i have to show top 10 countries based on a measure value and it should have a section break on country which i have achieved the same using a rank function.
Another report which has got 20 union reports but rank function is not working the same way as a single and simple report, i couldn't get any possible solution for this. Any pointers would be much appreciated

Pavan

Hi srini,
I did not get you, what exactly you mean keeping the rank in outer query? i have used rank function in each of the 20 union reports.

My question is regarding use of rank functions. BO guides state that
You can perform a database ranking only if your database supports
it. If this is not the case, the Add a database ranking button is disabled on
the Query Panel toolbar. Databases that support ranking are Oracle, DB2,
Terradata and Redbrick.
So SQL Server is not in the list. However the add database ranking button is enabled on
my report panel. If i add a ranking the query runs for a long time and times-out.
Is there any universe parameter i need to enable to use ranking? Has any-one mangaged to
use ranking functionality with SQL Server 2005.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Bashir Awan,
When we create this Object (using your example) at Universe level is the ranking hardcoded ?
My questions is, say i have Product object (with values A, B, C, D, E), and sales aggregated (10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60, 70, 80, 90, 100)
Say the table is as follows
Product;        sales
    A;               10
    A;                70*
    B;                 50
    B;                 20*
    C;                 30
    C;                 60*
    D;                 40
    D;                 90
    E;                 80
    E;                100
Note: * represents Oversees sales outside US
Case 1: Now when we rank whole data to select top 3 we should get (E, D, C in Desc order)
Case 2: Now if I apply prompt on Country of sales as US will I get (E, B, D) or is it still (E, D, C as earlier).
Case 3: Similarly if I apply prompt on Product (no prompt on Country) in the filter pane and select (A, D, E) will my results show (E, D, A) or (E, D) as the value of A may be restricted due to ranking formula based on sales at Universe level.
I am sorry I may be asking a very basic question. Thanks
Sudhir.
