Narrative View Enhancement

Description

Not able to use conditions with a Narrative View

Use Case and Business Need

In OBI you cannot create TABLE and PIVOT TABLE views with the column titles going down the left hand side/vertically.  You could do this in Business Objects however.  In OBI, the column titles can only be arranged going across the top/horizontally.  You can use a narrative view and use HTML tags to create a table and have it vertically arranged HOWEVER you CANNOT create conditions like you can on the standard TABLE and PIVOT TABLE views in OBI.  So for instance I cannot set the field to change to a different color based on the value in a particular field.  This works with the TABLE and PIVOT TABLE views only.  There is no where to set a condition for a narrative view.  This works fine with the  TABLE and PIVOT TABLE views.

Dawn,
to understand your idea better, do you mean
1. To allow the report title to appear in vertical direction for table/pivot table
OR
2. Set the color in a narrative view based on any condition?

Thanks

Hi Raghu, Sorry just now seeing this.  To answer your question, both.   I need to have titles going down the left hand side of my table and across the top (currently can only be done with narrative view in OBIEE) AND I need to set a condition to make a value a certain color if it comes into the analysis (Currently can only be done in the Table/Pivot Table view in OBIEE).  I need both in a particular report but there are no views that give me both features.
