Unable to generate graph in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have four columns in the report, one dimension and three fact columns
Dim.Col1
Fact.Col2
Fact.Col3
Fact.Col4
Fact.Col4 is nothing but I am dividing Col2 and Col3 like this, so in the formula for Fact.Col4, I have this
Fact.Col2/Fact.Col3
and these are the settings I have done for Fact.Col4
1. I have overridden the default data format from number to percentage
2. aggregation rule is default
3. have checked "Treat as an attribute column"
So My Fact.col4 has values like this
2.5%
4.5%
6.2%
Now when i am trying to built a graph using the columns dim.Col1 and fact.Col4, then the graph is not getting displayed. It shows me blank. But When I change the data format from percentage to default ( means uncheck the box) then graph comes up. So we can't create a graph on the column for which we have set the data format to percentage.? Can anybody please let me know what am I missing here
Thanks,
Ronny

Super! It worked. Graph comes back when I select the 1000's separator. But why would that happen? I mean It will be good If I know how did that make any difference. When I selected format to be percentage what is the significance of 1000 separator here? Is that a bug ? Or I am missing anything.
Thanks,
Ronny

Default Colors Limit for Graph in OBIEE 11g

Hi, I'm using OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.6.6)
When I use a graph (either bar or pie), I notice that OBIEE only has 12 default colors to use in the graph. So it starts from blue, red, and so forth, until the 12th color, then for the 13th color it will use the same blue again, and so forth.
The problem is that my column values are more than 12 (it could be 20, it could be 30, etc). So, the repeating colors doesn't make any sense for the graphs.
Could somebody please advise me on how to increase the default number of default colors used by OBIEE (so that it will be like 50 default colors set automatically by OBIEE, just in case)?
Thanks so much!

Hi,
type HexaDecimal colors in google you will find n number of colors with the code number, just use this color codes by adding# before every code in the column format properties.
for ex: #ccc99
Follow this follwoing link

Issue making graphs in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have requirement to make a line-bar graph in Answers.
metrics that i have to use are Best price, commit price and Close price
so the there would be a three bar showing data for all the the three metric. And there would be a line in the graph that should start from closed price, then go to Closed price + commit Price value and finally end at the value of summation of all three i.e. Commit+ closed+ best. So it would be a 3 bar and a trend line.
To implement that I have tried using union of 3 report and calculated the sum of the required trend line in the reports. So kind of output that i get is :
Closed price     |     Commit Price     |     Best Price     |     Cumulative total.
     1                              2                             3                         1                    (only closed amount)
     1                              2                             3                         3                    (Closed + Commit amount)
     1                              2                             3                         6                    (Closed + commit + Best amount)
so when i draw the Graph, i get the values of the bar correctly. But the value of line instead of coming as trend shows a dot on the graph with value as 1.
I am not really sure if the approach that i am taking is correct or not , so kindly request to please help me to make the trend line on the graph.

SA

How to create static line in line bar graph in obiee 11g?

Hello,
I have requirement where user wants to see a line in bar graph.
Now the line is just static line, we dont have data field available to draw the line in graph.
is there a way to create a static line in chart and show it in Line bar ombo graph??
Thanks in advance..

e.g. i created the static line '10' in fx and now using this column as line in line bar report , but its not displaying the line at measure of '10' in chart.
Drag the column to measures section of graph (Line - Vertical Axis) to change this static value create an edit box prompt and pass the value to the column using Presentation Variable (as said by Fernando)
Thanks,

Dynamically changing the Graph in Obiee 11g

Hi,
Is there a way to reflect the latest data in a graph by clicking any hierarchy level ?
say i have top level company----->>department------->>account.
if i come to department level then the graph should display department data in the graph.But in my case ,the graph always shows company level data.
Thanks-Bhaskar

Hi ,
In Repository File try creating a parent root node called 'All' above the Department in your hierarchy and check it it will work ...

OBIEE 11G: Disable interaction in Graph

Hello,
Does anyone know how to disable interaction in graph in OBIEE 11G, apart from the normal way of disabling the interaction in Column Properties -> Interaction.
Is there any other way.
Thanks

In 11g unlike 10g the Interaction tab is disabled at graphs.
You can add it globally (column level)
thanks,

Obiee 11g Chart sorting issue

Hi All,
I am trying to plot a graph in OBIEE 11g answers which shows Calendar Month in X-axis and percentage of marks in Y-axis,
in such a way that Calendar Month in X-axis should be in the order Jan Feb Mar Apr .....(where as now it is Apr Aug Feb ... which is sorted in ascending order) Calender month is a calculated column in the report which has the following calculation
case when cal_month=1 then 'Jan'
case when cal_month=2 then 'Feb'
case when cal_month=12 then 'Dec'
How do i arrange the calendar month in a proper order of Jan Feb Mar .....
Please advise
Thanks,
LonaD

I've already mentioned OOB column to use, I'm not sure about your data. If you dont have it then might go for workaround to get number 1 to 12.
BTW:Existing column 'Col month' as referred is not helping you?
For ex: work around might be something like
cast(substring("Year",3,2) as int)
Mark if helps
Edited by: Srini VEERAVALLI on Feb 5, 2013 12:43 AM
you can create same in rpd so that you can sort it._
Or else can go with work around using year column as above_

Installation Problem on 11g, RHEL 5 - Unable to generate temporary script

Hello all,
This is for the first time i am encountering this kind of error on 11g. Half way through installation i get this error.
All parameters set correct, used the official installation technique (works fine previously), except for this time i am getting a weird error, which does not allow me to continue with the installation.
Please help.
Environment

OBIEE 11g Unable to browse multiple value hierarchy for analysis.

Hi All,
We are using OBIEE 11g Value Hierarchy feature to display GL Segment Hierarchies.
-     We have set the hierarchies to be Ragged and Skipped Levels in the RPD Business Model.
-     We have dragged the hierarchies from Business Model to Presentation Layer.
-     When selecting the hierarchies during Analysis, the first hierarchy that is browsed appears correctly. The next hierarchy when browsed just hangs.
For example:
Step 1: Browse Hierarchy1 (Block). The values show correctly.
Step 2: Browse Hierarchy2 (Account). The hierarchy does not open with a blinking circle remaining forever.
Alternatively;
If we selected, Hierarchy 2(Account) first, the hierarchy shows correctly, but when selecting Hierarchy1 (Block) a blinking circle appears and remains for ever without opening the hierarchy.
The nqquery.log shows correct result. My suspicion is that the issue is on the front end presentation services/javascript side.
Is there any additional setup/configuration required to open multiple value hierarchies during analysis.
Thanks and Regards,
Sasi

I have a pretty good guess at the hanging problem, unforntunitly i have no solutions yet.
I having same type of issue, hangs when building filters on for 2nd or 3rd dim table.. I can see obiee fireing off the query to populate the dropdown by running
select distinct on and joining to the fact table and dimensions that the users usually have selecte prior to start creatinng the filters.
It is sort of like doing a intra dimension filter.. Sounds good but if user does not cut way down on number of fact rows by the time 2nd filtered column is selected the generated query to populate the drop down can run and run.
OBI SE Once and discoverer dd not do this, at least not out of the box.
