Creating Word / Tag Clouds in Obiee 11g

Like we discussed in my other blog over D3 visualizations in Obiee 11g, we have another data visualization technique called “word clouds”, that is used to graphically show word distributions in unstructured data sets through font sizes and orientations. For example, the word cloud shown below display the company names in different sizes/fonts.




It can be implemented in OBIEE11g reports, without using any extra help. We just have to create a dummy column using any logic to get dummy values ranging between 5 to 70 and then in Narrative View we can use this column in font size of Company column.

for example: I created a dummy column C1 like (count Of Transaction) * 5) / Max (count Of Transaction). This will give me value range from 5 to 70 ( you can range your values depending on Font size required in Cloud).

Now in Narrative View, while displaying the Company name column, mention Style (font-size = @C1;) and its done.

Do try it.

New Features in OBIEE 11.1.1.9.0 release:


 Some more new features have been introduced in latest OBIEE 11.1.1.9.0 release:-

Analysis Enhancement:

1.     You can initiate a search within the subject area displayed in the subject area pane; the option is “Subject Areas Pane”.
2.     You can save columns to Presentation Catalog and reuse the same for other analysis.You can also change the properties of the new column in the Criteria tab but be aware that conditional formatting and conditional action links for the column are not saved to the catalog. Regular action links are saved for the column as well as the format properties.The saved column can be edited from the catalog pane and catalog page. All the changes that you make in the catalog are applied to every analysis that used this column. If you modify it inside a particular analysis, these changes are valid only for the analysis that you are working on.To be able to save new measures as columns you should have the Save Column privilege.
  


 

3. In this version we find a new new type of variables: the Global Variables. Global Variables can be defined in the context of an analysis and can be used in other analysis. Useful to do some intermediate reusable calculations.
