Correct/modify the functioning of the "Display Results" toggle.

Jerry Casey

Long ago, back in the days of 10G OBI, I could shut off the display of a pivot table or table, rearrange it, format all of the columns, then turn the display back on. It would then re-calculate, incorporating all of my changes. Now, in data analytics, even after un-selecting the "Display Results" toggle, it recalculates after each change, no matter whether it a simple formatting change or adding/removing a column. It also re-displays the results after each change, regardless of my having un-selected "Display Results". This is very frustrating when working with a slow, complicated analysis, pausing for 30 seconds after each minor change.

Hello @Jerry Casey ,

The feature seems to be working "as advertised" for me. I just tried it again (2025-02-23 07:50 ET) on OAC.

/*

Created a pivot table, swapped attributes from columns to rows, added columns that provoke a longer report, etc.

All the editing work was immediate and responsive. Only when i turned "display" back on, I saw the little wheel spinning and then the new results rendered

*/

I would suggest opening a support case to reproduce the problem via zoom in front of an oracle support person.

sorry 😕

Thanks, Marcelo. I'll do that. If I'm the only "sufferer" in this situation, this idea can be removed.
