I have a dataset with 4 columns, namely:
Sales, Year, Type, ID
Question:
How can I show the TOP 10 based on sales, showing other 3 columns using PowerPivot?
For example like this:
ID Year Type Sales
X X X X
You don't need power pivot for that purpose. A simple table will do the job. Format/Insert your dataset as a table and Do as follows (Office 365):
Click on Sales (the 'Down Button')
Select Number Filters
Select Top 10.
In the dialogue box select "Top", "10", "Items"
If it has to be power pivot/pivot table, I think you will have to merge the three columns 'ID', 'Year', 'Type'

My goal is to create measure to get top 3 customer Names and there respective sales.
I am using the below measure to bring top 3 names along with there sales. The below measure is returning all the rows. I fail to understand why this is happening and why filtering is not happening for top 3 customers
topN = calculate(sum(Sale[Total Excluding Tax]),
TOPN(3,
values(Sale[Employee Name]),
calculate(sum(Sale[Total Excluding Tax]))
)
)
Sale[Employee Name] is calculated column and is coming from another table Employee by using Employee Name = RELATED(Employee[Employee])
The DAX is working properly and grabbing top 3 records. Order/sorting is important. You need to order your results.
Create a calculate column [Total Excluding Tax] to sum up the Total excluding tax. Then use that column in a measure; try something like:
Top Sales = TOPN ( 3, ALLSELECTED( 'Sale' ), [Total Excluding Tax]), desc)
I'm looking for a way to display row number in my cross-tab.
I tried searching online for the answer on how to do it but I haven't found anything useful.
So I'm turning to the good people on Stack Overflow.
The reason that I want to do this, if it's even possible, is because many clients in the company I started working at asked to have a row number in the cross-tab.
I am using Visual Studio 2013 and Crystal Reports.
So is there any basic ( easy ) way to do this in Crystal Reports?
For example, I have a cross-tab that displays unit of measure and amounts.
https://imgur.com/a/lOjCq
But I would like my cross-tab to be like:
Amount
1. Total -38
2. KG
3. kut 9
4. LIT. 4
5. m -32
6. proc
7. KoŠ¼ -19
Please keep in mind that I only started working with Crystal Reports this week, so this is all new to me. And the cross-tab in the picture is just a random one I made to explain what I need.
Thank You in advance.
In order to show Row Number in your CrossTab you will need to first put Row Number in the Stored Procedure that sends data to your report.
In order to understand it better i will first show you how my data looks before i add a Row number(Pic 1).
Code:
select
a.S_ID as ID,
osn.sifra as BasicGoodsCode,
osn.naziv as BasicGoods,
null,
a.RobaSifra as GoodsCode,
a.Roba as Goods,
a.Detalj as Detail,
a.DetaljDodatak as DetailsAddon
from NP_Stavke s
left join RobaGrupe osn on osn.id = s.RobaId
left join #A a on a.S_ID = s.Id
order by BasicGoodsCode, ID
Pic 1: As you can see I have 3 different Ids for BasicGoods which means that I have 3 Rows in my CrossTab
Columns ID, BasicGoodsCode and BasicGoods are going to be Rows in my CrossTab.
Values from column DetailsAddon are going to be my columns in CrossTab.
Columns GoodsCode, Goods and Detail are going to be values in my CrossTab.
Column Pieces is not important.
Now that you know how everything looks we can start with adding a Row Number to our CrossTab.
Step 1:
First thing that you need to do is to add a Row number in table in your stored procedure.
To do this I used DENSE_RANK()
depending on your data you might need to use ROW_NUMBER() or maybe even something else. I used DENSE_RANK() because I needed my row number to change once S_ID changes.
Code:
select
a.S_ID as ID,
DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY osn.sifra, s.Id asc) as BasicGoodsRowNo, // THIS IS ADDED
osn.sifra as BasicGoodsCode,
osn.naziv as BasicGoods,
null as Pieces,
a.RobaSifra as GoodsCode,
a.Roba as Goods,
a.Detalj as Detail,
a.DetaljDodatak as DetailsAddon
from NP_Stavke s
left join RobaGrupe osn on osn.id = s.RobaId
left join #A a on a.S_ID = s.Id
order by BasicGoodsCode, ID
Lets take a look at how our data looks now(Pic 2)
As you can see we added a Row Number that changes when Id changes.
IMPORTANT: Row Number has to be ether Integer or Decimal in the DataTable that you are using in your report if it's not it will not work correctly.
Step 2:
We've done the 'hard' part now it's time to put Row number in our CrossTab.
When you create a CrossTab or when right click CrossTab and then click on 'Cross-Tab Expert...' it will open a window like this one and in it in the Row section you will insert your Row Number Column(in my case and as you can see in the code above the name of my Row Number Column is 'BasicGoodsRowNo').
Step 3:
Since you don't want to show only the Row number in the report left click on your Row and then click on 'Group Options...'(Pic 4)
Once the new window appears click on 'Options' tab then check the 'Customise group name field' then click on 'Use a formula as group name' and then on 'x-2'(Pic 5)
Step 4:
Enter a formula like this one:
toText( {myTbl.BasicGoodsRowNo}, 0, "" ) + '. ' + {myTbl.BasicGoodsCode} + ' ' + {myTbl.BasicGoods}
Of course your formula will not be exactly like mine since you will not have the same columns as I do. The only part of this formula that you HAVE to have is toText( {myTbl.BasicGoodsRowNo}, 0, "" ) where instead of {myTbl.BasicGoodsRowNo} you will put your row number column. You will need toText since if you dont have that and you want to show a String after your Row Number it will give you an error because RowNumber is an integer field.
GJ YOU ARE ALL DONE AND IT WASN'T THAT HARD WAS IT
How My CrossTab looks once RowNumber is added
Now there is a way to simplify this process and that is:
Step 1:
In your stored procedure create 2 columns. One will show Row Number and the other will show Value that will be displayed as CrossTab row.
Code:
select
a.S_ID as ID,
DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY osn.sifra, s.Id asc) as BasicGoodsRowNo, // RowNumber
CONVERT(varchar(10), DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY osn.sifra, s.Id asc)) + '. ' + osn.sifra + ' ' +osn.naziv as BasicGoods, // Value that will be displayed in CrossTab Row
null as Pieces,
a.RobaSifra as GoodsCode,
a.Roba as Goods,
a.Detalj as Detail,
a.DetaljDodatak as DetailsAddon
from NP_Stavke s
left join RobaGrupe osn on osn.id = s.RobaId
left join #A a on a.S_ID = s.Id
order by BasicGoods, ID
As you can see Column BasicGoodsRowNo did not change and will still display the same values as before and I have deleted the clumns BasicGoodsCode and BasicGoods and replaced them with this
CONVERT(varchar(10), DENSE_RANK() OVER (ORDER BY osn.sifra, s.Id asc)) + '. ' + osn.sifra + ' ' +osn.naziv as BasicGoods,
The BasicGoods column will show BasicGoodsRowNo + BasicGoodsCode + BasicGoods.
Step 2:
Step 2 is the same as before.
Step 3:
Once you click on your row and on 'Group Options' go to 'Options' tab again then check the 'Customise group name field' check box again and after that instead clicking on 'Use a formula as group name' click on 'Choose from existing field' and from a combo box select the column you want to show as Row Value in your CrossTab. In my Case that is 'BasicGoods' column (Pic 7).
I used the first method since depending on what user decides I may not show CrossTab at all and I may not show BasicGoods but if you only have CrossTab in your report you can use the second, shorter and easier, method.

So i have a Table Called "Fruit" this table is manually upload with what kind of Fruit the users like. But we know that we have different colored "Fruit" these colors are not on the table.
So i have created a form for the user and want to create a dynamic select list based on the "Fruit"
Form:
Name: Bob
Age: 45
Fruit: Apple
What color:(Select List based of Fruit) Red,Green,white
Now i have 12 fruit option on the table and maybe six color i want to use, but i do not want all the colors displayed.
So if the "Fruit" column (based on table) was apple only show Red,Green,white in the select list
if the "Fruit" column (based on table) was banana only show Yellow,Green,Brown in the select list
if the "Fruit" column (based on table) was grape only show Red,Green in the select list.
APEX can do this quite easily. Define the query for the colors so that it only shows the colors appropriate for the fruit item selected. Something like:
select c.color_name, c.color_code
from colors c
join fruit_colors fc on fc.color_code = c.color_code
where fc.fruit_code = :P123_FRUIT_CODE;
(Here P123_FRUIT_CODE is the name of your fruit select list item).
Then set the Cascading LOV Parent Item(s) property of the colors LOV to P123_FRUIT_CODE.
Now, whenever the user changes P123_FRUIT_CODE by selecting a fruit, the colors LOV will be updated to show only the colors available for that fruit.
i want to crete a page that will show top n entity , but the difficulty is that
the page have to work along three different filters , and each filters have data from differnt columns of an excel sheet.
Example - i have to show top n (any number ) employee name with salary on the basis of age , gender , work exp in a vertical bar view.
we have filter on age, work ex ,gender and also the filter should work in a hierarchy manner as well as individaully .It should give top n salary (emp name ) female employee if we select only gender filter . after that if we select age 20 then it should give top n salary of employee who are female and age is 20 . data should change accordingly on selection of filters.
You can set up a visual level filter for the data visualization (e.g. table).
For example, filter on the key showing the top 10 salary only.
Then, you can set the three different filters you want on the page and the data in the visualization will change accordingly.
Without filter selected:
With filter selected:
I know the exact SQL I would need to write to retrieve the results I'm looking for from the Oracle BI tool, however, as I am new to Oracle BI I am struggling to find a way to reproduce the same results. I realize that the ultimate answer largely depends on the BI data model and that takes a lot more communication than a question on Stack Overflow will allow, so I'm looking for more generic how-to answers than a specific definitive answer for my scenario.
Perhaps the SQL will help for starters:
select "All"."DT", ("LessThan5Mins"."Count" / "All"."Count") * 100
from
(
select to_char(m."EndDateTime", 'YYYY-MM') "DT", count(*) "Count"
from "Measurement" m,
"DwellTimeMeasurement" dtm
where dtm."MeasurementBase_id" = m."Id"
group by to_char(m."EndDateTime", 'YYYY-MM')
) "All",
(
select to_char(m."EndDateTime", 'YYYY-MM') "DT", count(*) "Count"
from "Measurement" m,
"DwellTimeMeasurement" dtm
where dtm."MeasurementBase_id" = m."Id"
and m."MeasValue" <= 300
group by to_char(m."EndDateTime", 'YYYY-MM')
) "LessThan5Mins"
where "All"."DT" = "LessThan5Mins"."DT";
The purpose of this is to return the percentage of dwell time records that were less than or equal to 5 mins (300 seconds).
I have a fact that represents the "MeasValue" field in the above query.
All attempts I've made to reproduce the dual result set nature of the above query in BI have failed.
Is the above possible in OBIEE and if so, how might I achieve this?
I'm assuming that you have imported the Measurement (M) and DwellTimeMeasurement (DTM) tables into the physical layer of the RPD, specified the join on DTM.MeasurementBase_id = M.Id, and then brought them both through to the presentation layer.
If so, then you could start building this query in Answers on the criteria tab by dragging in M.EndDateTime and any OBIEE measure column from DTM, for example DTM.Amount. Edit the formula for the DTM.Amount column:
Filter the column by clicking the filter button shown in blue below.
In the following dialog box double click on M.MeasValue and then select "is less than or equal to" and type 300 in the Value text box. Click OK twice and your column formula should now look something like this:
FILTER(DTM.Amount USING (M.MeasValue <= 300))
Now wrap this with COUNT():
COUNT(FILTER(DTM.Amount USING (M.MeasValue <= 300)))
This will give the count of records with M.MeasValue <= 300. You could rename this column to be "LessThan5Mins". Click OK to save the new formula. Now drag in the DTM.Amount column again but this time only perform a COUNT():
COUNT(DTM.Amount)
This will give you the count of all dwell time records. You could rename this to "All". Finally drag in the DTM.Amount column one last time and edit it's formula again. This is where you will calculate the percentage with a formula similar to the following:
COUNT(FILTER(DTM.Amount USING (M.MeasValue <= 300))) / COUNT(DTM.Amount) * 100
So ultimately you will have four columns with the following titles and formulas:
TITLE FORMULA
----- --------
EndDateTime M.EndDateTime
LessThan5Mins COUNT(FILTER(DTM.Amount USING (M.MeasValue <= 300)))
All COUNT(DTM.Amount)
% LessThan5Mins COUNT(FILTER(DTM.Amount USING (M.MeasValue <= 300))) / COUNT(DTM.Amount) * 100
Note that including the EndDateTime column takes care of grouping the records. Also, to match your original query you would only need the EndDateTime and % LessThan5Mins columns (you could hide or exclude the other columns) but I wanted to demonstrate for you the process of filtering column values in OBIEE.
