I have a Webi Chart for month’s vs sale amounts. When you have the data for all months the chart looks good. But, if month does not have sales then month value is not showing up. For ex: If there are no values for January, Chart does not display. Chart will show from FEB. So, user wanted to see 0 If JAN does not have data. Help Geeks..

How to merge 3 data provider data in webi
Hi Experts,
I have an issue with merging and displaying 3 different data providers' information in a webi.
1. Data from Excel file contains:
Material_no Application Sub-Category
2. Data from Bex Query
Unit_Head Material_no Plant Year Fiscal_Period Bill_Value
3. Data from Universe
Unit_Head Material_no Plant Year Cal_Month Clear_Amount
Now first i want to cross check (2) Material_no and (3) material_no from (1) Excel's Material_no, meant I want that the Material_no that are in excel only those Material_no should come be available from Bex and Universe data provider in webi.
I have tried to achieve it by creating flag1 and flag2
flag1 = if([excel].[material_no] = [bex].[material_no])then 1 else 0
flag2 = if([excel].[material_no] = [Univ].[material_no])then 1 else 0
also recreated Bill_value and Clear_value using forcemerge([Bill_Value]) and forcemerge([Sale_Value]) variables
Now when I create table(Table1) using excel dimensions
Application Bill_value clear_value
App1 12 11
App2 11 9
App3 4 2
App4 9 9
Sum 36 31
without using any flag it shows correct figure
I have merged Bex query's and Univ.'s dimension also merged Material_no of all three sources.
And now when I create another table(Table2) using Merged Unit_Head with Bill_Value and Flag1 then it shows same 36 as it showed in Application(Excel dimension) table.
As I added Clear_Amount of Univ. query in same table(Table2) then it gives 39 which is larger than Table1 value and when I add Flag2 then Table2 gives both Bill_Value and Clear_Value incorrect.
Since I have to show Table1 and Table2 with Element linking function but values should match correctly in both tables.
Can anyone explain how it can be achieved, how can I get Correct value in Table1 and same value in Table2. Also am I using flag correctly or there is something else could be done for correction.
Thanks and Regards,
Ankit
Report with multiple queries (and links) - results different in Webi and Deski
Hi experts,
I'm trying to reproduce a report in webi based on a Deski report, but I don't obtain the same results and I do not know how to solve the problem.
Here the report in DESKI:
- The results:
- In the report there are variables:
- Committed in Forcast = If (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>="F") Then <Committed amount CNT-CT> Else 0
- Committed in Real = If (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>="R") Then <Committed amount CNT-CT> Else 0
- Fore the columns there are formula:
- Current Budget = <Budget Initial>+<Total movement amount>
- Amount committed in status real = Sum(<Committed in Real> ForEach (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>))
- Amount committed in status forecast = Sum(<Committed in Forcast> ForEach (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>))
- Total Real + Forecast = (Sum(<Committed in Real> ForEach (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>)))+(Sum(<Committed in Forcast> ForEach (<R/F Committed amount CNT-CT>)))
- The links between queries:
These results are correct.
Here the report in WEBI:
- The results:
In order to show the bad results (in yellow) I have done 3 tables:
Only the two last tables are completely correct but don't display all data... In the 1st table the amounts for the 2 last columns are false (apparently accumulated). In the second table I have reproduced the same table like in the DESKI report (by adding the "Project ID_complete" column in order to have the link between the queries DF and ABAC), the amount in the 2 last columns are now correct, but the columns with formula have not the good results and I don't know how to solve that.In the. |
- The formula are the same that the DESKI version.
- Here the links for merging data:
Could you please help to understand the problem and the difference between the both tools. Could you please try to help me to solve the problem?
Many thanks in advance for your help.

issue on sorting if we apply break (Webi)
Hello all,
Sorting is working fine until i apply break.
In below second pic, im able to get correct order if i apply sorting as Descending that is what actually i needed but if i add one more dimension called category and apply break to show total for brand, the order is only correct for Category but brand total order is not in correct descending order (plz refer marked in green). I wanted biggest value on top (in this scenario Brand4 should be in top). can we achieve it?
Thanks

Remove two empty/null fields
I'm trying to figure out how to create a formula or variable to remove two empty 'daysinbetween' fields. The good data will have an empty cell then a number consecutively. The bad data will have two fields with a null value and Im trying to either to remove or hide. Below are examples of the good data I'd like to keep, and the bad data, Im trying to remove or hide.

Formula cells giving wrong values
Hi Experts,
I am using webI 4.1. MY issue is , I have a report which is formula rich. The formula is showing proper value while this is with the table. This is showing correct value while used in the summary row of the table.
However, the same formula is giving wired result when I am using the same in a free floating cell.
Sometimes, this is giving #multivalue error and sometimes the value is different from the summary row. The formula is using report level context as well.
Does the formula is not getting proper data reference while used in free floating cell?
I am totally confused and the deadline is really near to me.
Please help and thanks in advance.

Report with formula - Multi results for a same lines - Solve #MULTIVALUE display
Dear Experts,
Following my previous post Report with multiple queries (and links) - results different in Webi and Deski, the results displayed in the report are correct. Nevertheless, some lines are not displayed in my table, I obtain several lines with #MULTIVALUE, for example for the contract A883-2015.
As explained in the original post, there are several queries linked with fields between them.
The purpose of this report is to display for each contract the initial budget, the movements and the amounts committed.
[Committed amount CNT-CT] is a measure coming directly from the universe and it's simply a field of the database.
[R/F Committed amount CNT-CT] is a dimension (coming directly from the universe: simply a field of the database) and can be "F" or "R"
Here the formula used for this report:
- MEASURE: Current Budget = [Budget Initial]+[Total movement amount]
- MEASURE : Committed in Forcast = If ([R/F Committed amount CNT-CT]="F") Then [Committed amount CNT-CT] Else 0
- MEASURE : Committed in Real = If ([R/F Committed amount CNT-CT]="R") Then [Committed amount CNT-CT] Else 0
- Amount committed in status real = Sum( [Committed in Real] ForAll ([Project_ID_complete]) )
- Amount committed in status forecast = Sum( [Committed in Forcast] ForAll ([Project_ID_complete]) )
- Total Real + Forecast = (Sum([Committed in Real] ForEach ([R/F Committed amount CNT-CT])))+(Sum([Committed in Forcast] ForEach ([R/F Committed amount CNT-CT])))
- Not planned = [Current Budget]-[Total Real + Forcast]
In fact it can arrive that there are several lines for a same contract in the database (following movements). If I create a table in WEBI by adding the field R/F Committed amount CNT-CT (the link and the fields about the ABAC query are not displayed), I obtain:
In this table we can see the sum of the amounts of lines from database for the R and F committed amount.
That's why in the first report it's written #MULTIVALUE. I would like that these both amounts are cumulated in my first report. If I create the report with DESKI it's ok:
Could you please help me for doing that in WEBI by keeping the same formula for having good results for the other lines?

Sebastien
Help needed in combining results of 2 query
Hi,
I am trying display the results of two queries in BI 4.1 Webi as below, but having a problem with the sum of total backlog at break footer for Family. It is putting a sum of backlog for all parts in query 2 instead of query 1. (I have merged Family & Part Number dimension objects and also used unmerged dimensions from query 1, expecting it to work like left outer join).
One way is to restrict the query 2 also to fetch same Part numbers, but I am having some difficulties in doing that due to DB limitations on number of list of values passed in a query filter. So tried using the Sum (Total backlog In (query1.Family;query1.Part Number)), but it is not helping. Please suggest if there are any other alternate options.
Thanks,

How to embed auto-refreshing report into a website?
Dear Experts,
I have a table in my report like below.
I want to embed this report onto my website.
And automatically update it every hour.
So that everytime you log into that website, you see the latest version.
What is the best way to do this?
ID | TIME |
---|---|
1 | 10:05 |
2 | 10:00 |
Is it just a matter of coping OpenDoc URL and embedding into html...?
Thanking you in advance...

user dynamic input to control chart display
Hi,
We have a report and we show 3 charts Weekly sales, Monthly sales and Yearly sales.
Now user wants to select the chart via an "Input control".
He wants to have 3 options in the input control(radio buttons) "Weekly", "Monthly","Yearly","All Values".
Now if the user selects "Weekly" only weekly chart should display, if "monthly" only monthly chart should display etc..
I have created an excel sheet and added values (Weekly, monthly, yearly, all values) then used it in the WEBI report.
Now we have columns with "weekly","Monthly","yearly" . I have created an input control over it..But i dont know how to read the selected value of the input control. Only i could read it then i will be able to select the chart for display.
Please help.

Range based on a dimension
Hi guys,
I created a variable to cater range that required in my report. But the thing is, things get messy once the dataset does not contains any value for particular range. The range/variable does not appear in the report. Example are as below.
Dataset:
Item Band Value
A 2 100
B 5 150
C 7 200
Range Variable:
=if [Band] < 5 then "Less than 5" else if [Band] > 4 and [Band] <11 then "5 - 10" else if [Band] > 10 then "Above 10"
Expected Output:
Less than 5 100
5 - 10 350
Above 10 0
Current Output:
Less than 5 100
5-10 350
Is there any ways to show the range from the variable that I already created even though the dataset does not contains any data for that particular range. Thanks.
