What is the use of Grand total level in obiee

When you start to use multi-star models and none-conforming dimensions, you will use the grand total level to tell the BI Server what to do with the measures when you try and plot them all in the same answers request.
Also consider any meaure you want to perform a '% of total' you will need the total mapped somewhere, this could use the Grand total level as a level based measure.

  • Grand Total Level in OBIEE 11g

    Hi ,
    I had a report with product name , order number , order quantity , order amount as columns .
    Now i want add a new column at the bottom level as grand total for ordered amount.
    Can some one please tell me how to do that ,,,I am in hurry
    Thank you

    Hi,
    If you already had the aggregation rule of the ordered amount as sum, then in the table, you can enable row level summation. In the table editor, just on top of the rows section, there is a summation icon that you can click on and set the option as 'after'.
    If you have already tried this thing and if it does not work then you may want to try the narrative view option. Here are steps for it.
    1. Create a new column.
    2. Change the function as RSUM(order quantity).
    3. In the narrative view use this column as @5 (I think you already have 4 columns and hence this might be 5th column)
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,

  • Percentage calculation at Grand Total Level

    Hello,
    I have issue in calculating the percentage at grand total level. I have three measures (A count, B count and Total count). These measures are defined in rpd with aggregation rule as sum. In answers i am calculating A % as 100*A count/Total Count. I have defined the aggregation rule for this percentage column as default. I am able to get correct % results for sub total level but getting wrong percentage values when Grand Total level is added. Going through some posts in this forum, people have suggested to enable this tag in instance config file.
    <ReportAggregateEnabled>true</ReportAggregateEnabled>
    After adding this tag, i am able to get correct results. The issue is when there is no data i am able to see table view with all columns having blank values even though i have defined the no result view.
    Please Help

    HI,
    For your CKF set exception aggregation as summation based on the last most characteristic in the row in the reference(as per the example it is product)

    Hi Srini,
    just read the documentation (although the current status on SAP Help Portal isn't really up-to-date):
    1. [Entry point|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/cc/85414842c8470bb19b53038c4b5259/frameset.htm]
    2. [Setting an Access Level|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70ehp1/helpdata/en/32/6aba9c49fd41a5a14f710e121220f1/content.htm]
    W/r to "Application Component" etc., docu on Help Portal is definitely not sufficient. Here, the following applies:
    An application offers attributes for the application component and the software component. The application component and software component have to be the same as defined for the development package. Application and software component are automatically derived from the development package if they are not set explicitly.
    For the definition of the development package, application component, and software component, we recommend that you choose the same values that are in effect for the software solution that you want to enhance by a new BRFplus application. This simplifies all activities related to the software infrastructure, especially transports.

  • Grand total level of the percentage column giving value from the first row of column

    Hi Guys,
    I have a requirement like to show the percentage value which the calculation of two columns , in the grand total level .
    I think it can be achievaable by giving the aggregation rule for that column as Server complex Aggregate .
    eg.
    Fiscal Year  Department  subdepartment   Total cost     Sub Department cost     % cost
    2011           Edu             Books                 500              50                               10
    2011           Edu             Note Book           200            100                                50
    2011           Edu             Furniture             300             30                                 10
    2011            Edu                                      1000           180                              18
    Grand Total
    Ideally it should come like as above ..but the problem with me that ,it showing correct value for  all the rows ,but at the grand total level it's taking the value of % cost from the first row . like below..
    2011           Edu                                   1000                  180                         10
    Grand Total  
    I have calculated the % cost column in the answer itself  as (Sub Department cost /Total Cost )
    where the
    Aggregation rule for the columns given are
    Total Cost - Sum  ,Sub Dep Cost -  Sum, % Cost - Server Complex Aggregate
    So plz suggest me any Idea to achieve this ..Thanks in advance.

    Give the agg. as avg for % field.
    Best of Luck,
    Kashi

  • What is the use of Alternative Calculation Type =2 and 4

    Dear Friends
    In pricing procedure in gross value, Net value for Item and Net value has Alternative calucation type is 2.
    What is the use of it?
    Without using it these value line are also fetching net value then what is the work of it. Please give me detail information with its effects in pricing condition tab page in sales document.
    Thanking You
    Arun

    Arun biswal,
    Correct Biswal. We have at varoius stages within Pricing procedure the "net value" which is calculated. Not only the alternative calculation type "2" is used if you notice carefully they are stored as subtotals at various levels.
    For Ex Gross Value  --> Subtotal =1 --> Calc type = 2
    similarly for Net value for Item --> Subtotal =2 --> Calc type = 2
    Net value 2 --> Subtotal =3 --> Calc type = 2
    See, these are used to calculate the net value at various levels in pricing. The calculation Type has got a set of routines that will facilitate us in pricing. SAP has provided certain clauclated formulas or routines to facilitate us during calculation within pricing . Here the "2" is used for calculation without tax and store it as subtotal and display it or use it for further calculations.
    We can use this "netvalue" amount for further calculations. It is used for clarity purpose when you issue a statement to customer. (like Confirmation order) at various levels like discount amt involved, Freight involved, Rebate amount invloved.....
    Even without this Calc type or using sub total u can proceed....
    Finally we have  TOTAL  --> Subtotal =A --> Calc type = 4
    In the above line we have Calc type as 4, which means when you use TAX this calc type is used .
    Routines are used to facilitate your process....
    Regards

  • Grand Total level Discrepency

    Hi,
    I have a Pivot table view which has three measures namely Net Units, Budget Net Units, Achvd% along with channel and Account at row level.
    Here Achvd% is a calcualted column with Achvd% = (Net Units - Budget Net Units)/Budget Net Units.
    At my Grand Total level also the same Formula should apply for Total Achvd% i.e., (Total Net Units - Total Budget Net Units)/Total Budget Net Units.
    Currently it is displaying the Aggregation Level for this column as Sum.
    In the Aggregation Level Setting for any column, we have Default, Sum, Average,Min, Max,... So can this customization for this column be done at Grand Total Level.
    Can you please provide valuable inputs
    Thanks

  • What is the use of points earned in apple support communities??

    what is the use of points earned in apple support communities??

    mende1      Valmojado, Toledo, Spain
    This solved my questionRe: How the heck do you get points on your apple support communities account?
    Jul 12, 2013 10:20 PM (in response to BMPU)
    To get points, you have to answer questions. If the user that created the post tested your solution and it worked, he/she (may) give you a "This solved my question". As you can see in the right part of this page, a solved question adds 10 points to your account. If you helped solve the problem, you receive 5 points. On a single thread, the original poster can only give 1 "This solved my question" and 2 "This helped me", so you can receive a total of 20 points.
    With these points, there are levels that you can see in this page > https://discussions.apple.com/static/apple/tutorial/reputation.html When you level up, you receive privileges like report posts, access to Community Calls... The most important level respecting to privileges is the level 6, that gives you access to a special forum called "The Lounge" (where you can talk about anything you want, complain about an user or report problems with the forum), and you also receive gifts from Apple and other privileges

  • What is the use of additon in up to 1 rows in SELECT statement

    Hi All,
             What is the use of up to 1 rows in select statement.
    for example
    SELECT kostl
          FROM pa0001
          INTO y_lv_kostl UP TO 1 ROWS
          WHERE pernr EQ pernr
          AND endda GE sy-datum.
        ENDSELECT.
    I'm unable to get in wat situations we hav to add up to 1 rows
    please help me out...
    Thanks,
    santosh.

    Hi,
    Use "select up to 1 rows" only if you are sure that all the records returned will have the same value for the field(s) you are interested in. If not, you will be reading only the first record which matches the criteria, but may be the second or the third record has the value you are looking for.
    The System test result showed that the variant Single * takes less time than Up to 1 rows as there is an additional level for COUNT STOP KEY for SELECT ENDSELECT UP TO 1 ROWS.
    The 'SELECT .... UP TO 1 ROWS' statement is subtly different. The database selects all of the relevant records that are defined by the WHERE clause, applies any aggregate, ordering or grouping functions to them and then returns the first record of the result set.

    If you read the documentation you will see that there is no ALTER DATABASE CLOSE command.

    'The provision account is only required if there are conditions that are relevant for accrual, for example, rebate conditions. If this is the case, account determination takes place in the billing document with the field'

  • What is the use for CREATING VIEW WITH CHECK OPTION?

    Dear Legends,
    I have a doubt
    What is the use for creating view?
    A: First Data Integrity, Selecting Particular Columns..
    What is the use for creating a view with check option?
    A: As per oracle manual I read that its a referential integrity check through views.
    A: Enforcing constraints at DB level.
    A: using CHECK OPTION we can do INSERTS UPDATES for a view for those columns who have no constraints... is it right??
    A: If we do a INSERT OR UPDATE for columns who have constraints it will show error... is it right???
    Please clear my doubt's Legends
    Lots of Thanks....

    Hi, Karthick,
    karthiksingh_dba wrote:
    ... What is the use for creating view?
    A: First Data Integrity, Selecting Particular Columns..Most views are created and used for convenience. A view is a saved query. If the same operations are often done, then it can be very convenient to code those operations once, in a view, and refer to the view rather than explicitly doing those operations.
    Sometimes, views are created and used for security reasons. For example, you many want to allow some users to see only certain rows or certain columns of a table.
    Views are necessary for INSTEAD OF triggers.
    What is the use for creating a view with check option?
    A: As per oracle manual I read that its a referential integrity check through views.The reason is integrity, not necessarily referential integrity. The CHECK option applies only when DML is done through the view. It prohibits certain changes. For example, if a user can't see certain rows through a view, the CHECK option keeps the user from creating such rows.
    A: Enforcing constraints at DB level.I'm not sure what you mean. Please give an example.
    A: using CHECK OPTION we can do INSERTS UPDATES for a view for those columns who have no constraints... is it right??No. Using CHECK OPTION, you can do some inserts and updates, but not others. The columns involved may or may not have constraints in either case.
    A: If we do a INSERT OR UPDATE for columns who have constraints it will show error... is it right???If you try to violate a constraint, you'll get an error. That happens in views with or without the CHECK OPTION, and also in tables.

    basically it to delete the unwanted PIR for the last period.

    At the end of Period the total salae order were 90, PIR shows 10 excess, this has to be deleted. We can do it manually, but this can be done collectively

    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/cb/7f9b7043b711d189410000e829fbbd/frameset.htm
    With the reorganization function, you can delete planned independent requirements for which there are no sales orders in the database. You can delete the planned independent requirements history.
    A key date is required to carry out reorganization which is calculated as follows: the system checks whether a reorganizing interval is maintained in Customizing for the plant that you want to reorganize. If an interval is maintained for this plant, the system uses this information to calculate the key date. If no interval is maintained for this plant, the system checks whether intervals are maintained for any other plants, and selects the largest interval to calculate the key date. You can change the key date proposed in the initial screen for reorganization.
    You can change the proposed key date when deleting the history. You can set a shorter interval for deleting histories than for deleting the requirements records.

    Imagine a situation where 1 record coming into a cube needs to be split into multiple records. Lets say you get values total values for sector in the PSA. Now you may want to partition that value based on the various sectors existing. In that case you can use a return table and split a single record into multiple records.
