OBIEE 11g - Showing percentages on a graph/line bar

Hello,

This is my first post here, so hopefully I am posting in the right place.

I have an analysis with which I want to display a bar/line graph. I am trying to display a line to show the change in yes/no rate, while the bars represent the volume of both.

I am using two identical measures, one showing data as values and the other as percentage of the column parent. My table is as I want it (though I just care about the "yes" rate and could make without the "no"l rate) but I cannot get the graph to display what I want.

The line remains at 1% instead of varying according to the rate.

This is with using a "graph pivoted result". I tried with a standalone graph, as well as with using calculated measures, but none of them gave me the results I want.

Could you please let me know how best to achieve my goal? Is there a way to indicate that the line should only show the column "Rate.Yes"?

I am a beginner with OBIEE so my understanding is still very basic.

Thanks.

    Not really sure what your "rate" is supposed to be there and how you calculate it since you only show the result but not the model or formulae, but those are precisely the kind of things you must ahve an issue with because what you're asking for - at least what it sounds like from the very vague description - is extremely basic functionality that just works ou of the box.

    Hi Dravel,

    This is a stacked line-bar pivot table and chart that performs as you've described.

    The key is that the calculated percentage column, in this case "Consultant Hrs Pct" is showing the correct amount prior to producing the chart.

    You may need to produce 3 calculated columns: a "Yes Volume" column, a "No Volume" column, and a "Yes %" column.

    You can either use a case statements or a filter formulas to produce the Y/N columns,, and those columns to build the Y% column.

    Hello,

    Thank you for your reply, I will try what you suggested.

    I guess my issue is that I have only one single measure, which can have the values of either Yes or No (well, approved or refused), and which are sorted based on their status under a column "Decision" (called Volume here).

    I will follow your tip and try to get a filter formula that works to create different columns then.

    Thanks!

    ....which makes it an attribute and not a measure.
