Hi,

A grand total calculated automatically by OBIEE because you enable totals on your pivot will not allow you to do that as you don't have a place where to enter a formula for it. It's calculated automatically based on the aggregation rule set and not a custom hand written formula doing * 40 .

So is this not possible to achieve ? Yeah I understood that it is automatically calculated and we cannot include any formula in it.

Thanks !

The only way you'd be able to achieve this is to create a separate pivot table with the dates as hidden column headers (no rows defined) and the cells would be a copy of your measure column multiplied by 40

You'll then need to align both pivot tables in your compound layout to give that illusion that it is a single pivot table.

Hi Joel,

Can you be more clear on this approach please. Please see the below for my current pivot view.

Hi,

There is a work around for this. Create union report will all the columns and in that 2nd union report show only totals and multiply the columns by 40. and then show that row in the last.

and hard code the name Grand total for 2nd union query in one column.

Hope you are clear.

If resolve your issue then mark it as helpful.
