Using TOPN reports in OBIEE 11g

Hi ,
I am displaying TOP 4 products (dimension) with highest revenue (measure) in a bar chart . Used TOPN function in the revenue column . But, while displaying 4 bars , the top most product (ranked 1) bar is displayed with data but without any level.
For example , there are 4 products - denim, lee cooper , levis and denim is top's the chart with 1,500 $ ...then I am getting a bar leveled 1 , among 4 bars with the value (1,500 $) but without level (i.e. denim) . Other bars are coming just fine (i.e. lee cooper - 1,200 $, levis - 800$ ) .
Let me know if the problem statement is not clear enough .
Thanks
sayak

So you are able to see labels for Lee Cooper and Levis but not for denim. This is strange.
Check the conditional formatting for that column. May be there is some conditional formatting done for that column.
Or remove the column from criteria and add it again.
Hope this helps.

How to apply filters for union all report in OBIEE 11g

Hi All
Can we apply saved filters to union reports in obiee 11g?
I am able to apply saved filters for normal reports but not for union reports.
The catalog pane is blank, when i click on result columns or each criteria.
The only option i see is to manually create the filters for each criteria, dont i have any choice to use a saved filter for union report?
Is this a bug or something i am unaware. Please guide me
Thanks

Hi manu,
Filter is created based on subject area.we can't use save filter in any other subject areas.
now we can use new filter for union reports.
if Helps please mark as correct.. :)

Diplay all rows for a single report in OBIEE 11g

Hello All,
Do we have any way to display all rows by default for only one report in OBIEE 11g rather than the regular 25 rows and clicking on all the rows. Without changing the configuration on instanceconfig.xml.
Please advice.
Thanks,
VidyaS.

How to build a Analysis report in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have a query regarding 'How to' to build an analysis report in OBIEE 11g.
The data model is a financial data model, where information such as Actual, Plan, Forecast, What - if etc for current AND prior year need to be displayed in a dashboard.
I created two analysis reports one for current year Rep1 and second for prior year Rep2 each with filter criteria as current year and prior year respectively based on years column. and then in the dashboard I created prompt based on scenario column (radio button) for Actual, plan, Forecast, and wht if.
I am able to show the current vs prior year data in the same dashboard for Actual or Plan or forecast or what if (depending on data availability in the database).
I want to achieve the same information in a single analysis report instead of two separate analysis reports. I do not want to create separate physical report for current and prior year data.
I need one analysis report which I can use in dashboard and depending on selection for scenario (actual , plan, forecast or wht if) I want to show the current AND prior year data the way I achieved in with two seperate reports embedded in their respective sections as explained above.
Does any one have idea how to achive this by building single analysis report?
If you need any more clarificaiton or have any queries, please let me know.
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

As per I understand your requirement,
In your Dashboard create a Presentation variable which receives the value of year you select.
Now in your analysis, select the year column along with all the measures you want (Actual, plan, Forecast, and what-if, etc).
Create a filter on Year column and convert it into SQL. Put the condition as:
"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentaion_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

I get the same issue. I thought that it's a problem in a security - the catalog pane is clear in a union report. But saved filters work in 11g. I migrated catalog from 10g to 11g and I see saved filters in the conditions. But you may add saved filters directly into xml. Go on Tab Advanced and edit Analysis XML. You have to add code like this
<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:savedFilter" path="/shared/FOLDER/_filters/FOLDER/FILTER_NAME" name="FILTER_NAME"/> in a right place.

Essbase reports in OBIEE 11g

Hi Experts,
The Essbase reports in OBIEE 11g is displaying the member names instead of the Alias names. However in OBIEE 10g the Alias names are rightly displayed.
Can anyone please suggest on how it is possible to display the alias names in OBIEE 11g?

Hi,
thanks for ur reply. I checked the above workaround but found that the option Display Column -> Alias is not enabled. So am not able to select it. Hence now Member names is selected.
Please let me know if i am missing something else.

Problem in Getting Count answer for the report in OBIEE 11g..

Hi friends,
I created a report in OBIEE 11g, but i'm not getting the correct answer as i expected...I'm getting answer in presentation services but the answer is wrong..
I'll explain to you with an example report: Suppose in the report "NATIONALITY COUNT IN DEPARTMENT WISE" manner
i dragged the Nationality column from per_all_people_f which is dim table and i dragged the column that i applied aggregation rule "count" for the column "nation count" from per_all_assignments_f which is fact table......If i viewed answers means i'm getting correct answer
(i.e.) nation count per Nationality..........
NATIONALITY<---------------------->NATION COUNT
AUSTRALIA 40
INDIA 20
AFRICA 10
USA 5
The above is the answer I'm getting with out including the department column from hr_all_organization_units...........
But since according to the report i need count in department wise manner, so for that along with nationality and nation count column i dragged department column from hr_all_organization_units which is dim table and also i hide that column as i dont want to view the department column in answers..........
If i clicked answers, means then I'm not getting the nation count for the nationality......... I'm getting the answer 0 for each and every nationality, if i included the hided department column
NATIONALITY<----------------->NATION COUNT
AFRICA 0
AUSTRALIA 0
INDIA 0
USA 0
I'm getting answers like the above if i include the department dimension column which is in hided manner.........................
What is wrong with it........Whether i made any logical mistake for the report.....If so guide me friends..........
Cheers,
Harry...........

Hi,
you said about writing query in DB.......whether U meant of trying checking the query in toad..or something else..........
Since im giving only one join from dim to fact in the physical diagram........
But more than one join exist between those dim and fact, but im giving only one join mainly the primary key column of the dimension table to the fact table....Whether i need to give all the joins that exist(even if it has 2 or 3 joins between those fact and dim) tables....
If i give count distinct means it is giving count for every nation as 1....like i mentioned below
NATIONALITY<----------------------------------------------------->NATION COUNT
INDIA---------------------------------------------------------------------1
AUS------------------------------------------------------------------------1
CAN------------------------------------------------------------------------1
Since you said to check about depts of the particular column....i couldn't able to understand about "depts" that you meant????
Whether i made any logical mistake...........

Prompt to Report navigation - OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I've three tables (3 different requests) to be displayed in a page. Each of these tables has one identical column eg. project_name (but from different database tables).
My requirement :
1.I should have only one prompt to select the project_name at the first page
2.Only after selecting the project_name, the page should navigate to another page which displays all the three tables
Kindly let me know how can I get the prompt to report navigation done.
Thanks!
Dinesh

Hi ,
Only after selecting the prompt you have to show the reports means use the guided navigation.
Only after selectiing the Project_name , you can show your tables.
But this can be done on the same page not on other page as you needed.
Also check the below link may be helpful to you

Division calculation using different filters in OBIEE 11g

Hello,
I have a requirement where I want to calculate division of same column using different filters in one report.
e.g. No. of Units (Where Active flag='A')/No. of units (Where Active flag='I').
I am using OBIEE 11g.
Thanks.

Try this:
((case when Active flag='A' then No. of Units end)*1.0)/
(case when Active flag='I' then No. of Units end)
It would nice if you create a new metric based on physical expression using rpd. If possible try to create it so that you can have aggregation after the calculation.
If helps pls mak as correct/helpful
