Using Slicer to change row dimension in pivot table

I have a requirement to display a measure amount by Quarter,Month or Week of Year. The user needs to select one of three slicer buttons, Quarter, Month or Week. I have tried creating a calculated column in my tables, e.g PeriodToDisplay using
"If" or "Switch".
PeriodToDisplay:=Switch (Dates[PeriodSelected],"Quarterly",FactTableName[Qtr],"Monthly",FactTableName[Month],"Weekly",FactTableName[weeknum])
Where Dates[PeriodSelected] is just a 3 row table with , Quarterly,Monthly,Weekly rows. I display those as a slicer in the powerpivot view.
The FactTableNames are where the aggregation sql have been done. The row labels now are:
Qtr
Month
Week
And the granularity i know can be collapsed by the user but they do not want to see a Qtr displayed when they only want to see the month.
I receive an error message the Quarter is not in the proper context or is a circular reference.

The behavior you want can be achieved with a hierarchy built in the Power Pivot model, and then using Excel's drill down functionality on the pivot table.
Alternately, you could define an MDX named set for the pivot table to define the rowfilters.

Using Measures in Rows Section of Pivot table view

Hi,
i have a report with 6 columns, out of which A, B are dimensional and C,D,E,F are Fact columns(measures).
My requirement is to take Column A and Columns C,D,E in Rows section of Pivot table view with column F measure in Measures setion and column B in Columns Section.
I created the Pivot view as desired but the measure columns placed in Rows Section are not displaying the correct results
Can someone provide ur inputs on this.
Thanks in advance.

For Pivot Table view Measures should be in Measures section only, then only those columns will show correct result

Is it possible to change the data of Pivot Table?

Hello,
I want to develop an excel add-in in .net and want to show the data to user using "Pivot Table".
Is there a way in which I can allow the user to change the cell values of the "Pivot Table" without changing the source data?
Any guidance is highly appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi Vinay,
As far as I know, it's not possible. We can only change those Pivot Table cells that belong to Row Label or Column Label. But we can't change the Value cells. You'll get some errors like "Cannot change this part of a Pivot Table report".
If you just want to display a report with some changes to the original Pivot Table report, I would recommend that you copy the data from the Pivot Table to another worksheet, then modify the values.

Row Based Calculations - Pivot Table

Hi,
Can anyone help with creating calculating items in a pivot table. I have been following this example:
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/01/obiee-rowbased-calculations-in-pivot.html
I have created a calculation item on the column of my pivot table(month_name), only selecting Sep & Oct:
Function: Formula
(Sep+Oct)
This returns 1 for all rows in the pivot table, these months do contain numeric values and there is a page item based on year.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hi,
Lets consider you are having only 3 columns.
One in rows,other in columns(your month column and measure column in measures section.Then if you re using Calculated item in column section ie. on your month column,writing a formula as (Oct-06)+(Nov-06)+(Dec-06) with Name Grand Total.It will return only one column Grand Total with sum of all the months you gave across the rows.

Remove the word "Total" in Row Totals in Pivot Tables

Hi,
Is it possible to remove the word "Total" that appears in Row Totals in Pivot Tables?
Eg. If there are 2 Dimension Columns -- Year and Month .... and if we do row totals on Year
The total appears as *'2008 Total'* or *'2009 Total'* etc. i.e. Each of the Values is followed by the word 'Total'.
However, i would like the totals to display only the values '2008' or '2009' without the word 'Total'.
Is this possible in OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 ?
Thanks,
Ab

Hi ,
Goto Total -> Format label and type in @.This will remove the word"Total". I have tested this in 10g, try this and let me know if it works in 11g.

Try this:
1) Duplicate your measure column in Criteria.
2) In the fx window, enter RANK(your_measure_column).
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 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:

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.

Power Pivot Slicer options not showing in the Pivot Table Field list

Excel 2013. In all the tutorials I watch when you create a Pivot Table using Power Pivot there are Slicer options in the
Pivot Table Fields list. Slicer Horizontal, Slicer Vertical These do not show for me. I see Filters, Value, Row, Column only. Is there a setting I need to turn on? When I click on PowerPivot
at the top, the first icon on the bar is Manage Data model, not Powerpivot as I have seen on some of the youtube tutorials. Thank you in advance.

Thank you for trying but it's not what I am after. I understand how to use Slicers with pivot tables. My question relates to Pivot Tables created using PowerPivot. Directly under the Pivot Fields list on the right is a section where
you choose what you want to pivot i.e Filters, Values, Rows, Columns. These are standard with any pivot table. When I watch videos on PowerPivot there are 2 additional options in the section. Slicer Vertical, Slicers Horizontal.
The video comments they only show in when creating a pivot table using PowerPivot. These 2 options are not there for me. I don't know why. It maybe the version of office I am using which is Microsoft Office Plus 2013. I'd like them
included. Appreciate you taking the time to help.

How use "All Values" in the pages of pivot tables

Hi everyone,
I’m using Oracle Bi Answers and I have the following problem:
I’m doing reports based in a datamart with 2 fact table each with about 28 Million records per month and with a medium of 14 dimensions.
The users want to have the choice to select 5 parameters for example (region, district, type of product, month of analysis, subtype of product) where they can select an individual option as well as select an “all values” option. They want this for all the parameters.
We are having problems doing this without having the report to timeout.
Approaches used
We are trying to do this by using pivot tables and combo boxes in the reports (one for each parameter). The combos are in the pages area.
We are trying to do a calculated item with Sum(*) to have a “ALL Values” in the combo box but this makes the report extremely slow.
We also tried to do Sum in the pages section of the pivot table but it only displays the “All pages value” of the first combo box.
So actually I don’t know what to try. Can you help me with the best way to do this?
Thanks

Hi,
I had the same problem, and I solved it using the dashboard prompts.
But sometimes users are not happy. I explaine why.
Suppose a dimension Nation:
Italy, Germany, UK, France, USA
1) I create a report with sales quantity.
2) Report has a filter --> "nation" = is prompted
3) I create a dashboard prompt "Nations" based on dimension Nation with All Values
4) I publish the report in a dashboard with the dashboard prompt "Nations"
When user choose the nation from the prompt, all nations are displayed, also if I have NO sales for some of these.
My goal: only nations with sales must be shown
Thanks

How to change user created power pivot table names

Hi All,
First I created a excel table in a new worksheet . Then I add it to the model using power pivot tab option " add to data model". this is now added to my power pivot model. I change name both in excel and also in power pivot model. however when
I see the table in Pivot Data Fields option I can only see it as "table1". Is there any way to change the table name so users can easily identify it?
Thanks
Sonny

I find that changing the name of my tables in Excel before importing them into PowerPivot is the best way to go.

Hide Blank Rows in a Pivot Table in Outline Form in Excel 2010

In Excel 2010 Pivot Tables, using the Outline Format and Repeat Item Labels, is it possible to hide the rows with no data? Please see atch.
Doug in York PA
Douglas R. Eckert

Hi,
If you want to hide these subtotal rows, you have to use the Tabular forum, the Tabular layout is very similar to Outline except that you will not
have subtotals at the top of every group.
1.Right-click an item in the pivot table field, and click Field Settings
2.In the Field Settings dialog box, click the Layout & Print tab.
3.Check the 'Show item labels form in tabular form’
check box.
4.Click OK
Then your pivot table layout should look like the image below:
Let us know if that’s what you wanted.

Summarize total for Row items in pivot table

Hi,
I have a certain number of row items and few fact columns. 2 of the row items are level based measures that will summarize on other conditions so I cannot have them in the Fact section. But for these 2 row items (in the Rows section) I want them to summarize the values (a total sum under) as for the Fact columns, but it seems impossible to do this in a pivot table.
I tried everything. This is a very irritating limitation to Pivot tables. Anyone have a good solution to this? (I have to use Pivot table because I have numbers showing for each month, table view will not work for this)

Hi Alf,
Just for everyone else checking this post out, here is the image you posted.
!http://i45.tinypic.com/15x50r6.jpg!
Now I see what you are talking about. Based on that screen-shot and your post, it looks like three of your measures (Arsbudsjett, Lok. budsjett, Akk.regnskap) are placed in the "Rows" section of the pivot table because you don't want them pivoted on the month. You just want them displayed as a single column and you want to pivot the other measure by month.
However, it appears that OBIEE does not summarize items in the "Rows" section and only provides sub-totals for columns in the "Measures" section.
I have two follow up questions
1) What technique are you using to breakup the column "KOSTRA art"? There seems to be some kind of grouping at the value "Lenn og sosiale utgifter". What is special about that value on how is that grouping or break in the data created?
2) One of those three measures, Akk.regnskap, does have a sub-total but the other two, Arsbudsjett, Lok. budsjett, do not. What is different about Akk.regnskap that causes it to have a sub-totals?
Thanks for the follow up questions.
-Joe
