Logical Levels in OBIEE

1 . Use a different technique to associate logical columns with logical levels. Drag the logical columns from the Time Detail logical level (not from the D1 Time logical table) to their corresponding levels in the H1 Time logical dimension. This is a convenient technique when logical columns are buried deep in the business model.

Logical Column  Logical Level
Per Name Year Year
Per Name Half Half
Per Name Qtr Quarter
Per Name Month Month
Per Name Week Week
   

Your results should look similar to the screenshot:

2 . Delete all remaining columns from the Time Detail level except for Calendar Date so that only Calendar Date is associated with the Time Detail level. Notice that deleting objects from the hierarchy does not delete them from the logical table in the business model.

 Create a Logical Dimension for Customer

Hint: Create the levels first, then double-click a logical column to open the Logical Column dialog box and use the Levels tab to associate the logical column with a logical level.

Level Column Key Use for Display
Customer Total <none> <none> <none>
Customer Region Region Region Yes
Customer Area Area Area Yes
Customer Country Country Name Country Name Yes
Customer State State Province State Province Yes
Customer City City City Yes

Set Customer Total as the grand total level. Set Customer Number as the primary key for the Customer Detail level. Your results should look similar to the screenshot:
