String Aggregation in OBIEE

Hello All,

There was a requirement of aggregating multiple row values to one row. This is a requirement of summarizing the data which is easily achievable using SQL. However this article will provide you information on how to do it in OBIEE.

 

Problem

Here there are different employees in different department .

243

 

And you  would want to see it as below.

 

string aggregation

 

For this you would have to use the EVALUATE Function.

EVALUATE_AGGR(‘LISTAGG(%1,%2) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY %3 DESC)’,”Dim – Campaign “.”Employee_Name”,’,’,”Dim – Campaign “.”Employee_Name”)

 

The separator is ‘,’ which can be modified based on your requirement .

 

Thanks

Jethin Abraham

  1. I desperately want this to work, however, it doesn’t. I get a syntax error. I’m using this in the presentation layer.
