I am new to OBIEE and would like to create an analysis where I can place one next to the other 2 columns with figures from same dimension but with different data. To better explain it: let's say that in Dim1 we have Invoices and Payments as members. We also have other dims as Date, Invoice Number and so on. This would be the current output:
Date | Dim1 | Invoice Number | Amount
10/01/17 Invoice 1234 -450
10/02/17 Payment 1234 450
So, what I want is, instead of creating 2 reports, one for the Invoices and the other one for Payments, a single report with the following output:
Invoice Date | Invoice | Payment date | Payment | Invoice Number | Amount inv | Amount paid
10/01/17 Invoice 10/02/17 Payment 1234 -450 450
Is this kind of output achievable inside OBIEE?
Thanks!
You are not trying to "filter on same dimension" but you are trying to convert rows into columns.
While it is possible to cheat your way around this it is definitely not something which is suggested! You are facing an analytical system - not Excel.
If this is an actual requirement and not simply a "I wish to see it this way" then the best approach is to store the data properly.
Second-best approach is to model it in the RPD with different logical table sources.
Last and the option NOT to go for right away is what you are asking for: Doing it in the front-end.
Apart from that: It's "analyses" that you are working with in OBI. If you have a "report" then you are in BI Publisher which is a completely different tool.
