OBIEE Hierarchy Navigation Functions {HNF} Part 7
ISBROTHER
From the documentation:….. There is no documentation….Why? It’s my own solution . This is a trick to show data of people who have the same parent, starting from the child.
Let’s start by determining who is our daddy:
SELECT
"Y - Hierarchy levels"."Sales Person"."E0 Sales Rep Number" s_1
FROM "Y - Hierarchy levels"
WHERE
(ISPARENT("SALES PERSON"."H5 Sales Rep", VALUEOF( NQ_SESSION.HierarchyUser)))
We don’t need the report, just the SQL from the advanced tab.
Next determine who our brothers and sisters are:
SELECT
"Y - Hierarchy levels"."Sales Person"."E0 Sales Rep Number" s_1 FROM "Y - Hierarchy levels"
WHERE ("Sales Person"."E8 Manager Number"
IN (SELECT saw_0 FROM (SELECT "Sales Person"."E0 Sales Rep Number" saw_0 FROM "Y - Hierarchy levels" WHERE ISPARENT("SALES PERSON"."H5 Sales Rep", VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.HierarchyUser))) nqw_1 ))
We can use this list as the base for an in statement:
case WHEN "Sales Person"."E0 Sales Rep Number" in
(SELECT "Y - Hierarchy levels"."Sales Person"."E0 Sales Rep Number" s_1 FROM "Y - Hierarchy levels"
WHERE ("Sales Person"."E8 Manager Number" IN
(SELECT saw_0 FROM
(SELECT "Sales Person"."E0 Sales Rep Number" saw_0
FROM "Y - Hierarchy levels"
WHERE ISPARENT("SALES PERSON"."H5 Sales Rep",
VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.HierarchyUser))) nqw_1 ))) THEN "Base Facts"."1- Revenue" else 0.0 end

ISROOT
From the documentation:A presentation hierarchy member is defined as a root member if it has no ancestors above it in a parent-child presentation hierarchy.
Presentation Layer Syntax
ISROOT(pc_presentation_hierarchy)
Example “Hardcoded”:
Case When ISROOT("Sales Person"."H5 Sales Rep" ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Business Model and Mapping Layer Syntax
ISROOT(logical_dimension)
Example “Hardcoded”:
Case When ISROOT("13 - Hierarchy levels"."H5 Sales Rep" ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END

OBIEE Hierarchy Navigation Functions {HNF} Part 5
In Part 1 we did ISPARENT, in part 2 ISANCHESTOR, in part 3 ISCHILD, in part 4 ISDESCENDANT.
ISLEAF
From the documentation:
The ISLEAF function applies to both level-based and parent-child hierarchies. For both types of hierarchy, a leaf member is defined as a member that has no child members.Presentation Layer Syntax
ISLEAF(presentation_hierarchy)
Example “Hardcoded”:Case When ISLEAF("Sales Person"."H5 Sales Rep" ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Business Model and Mapping Layer Syntax
ISLEAF(logical_dimension) Example “Hardcoded”:Case When ISLEAF("13 - Hierarchy levels"."H5 Sales Rep" ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Till Next TimeOBIEE Hierarchy Navigation Functions {HNF} Part 4
In Part 1 we did ISPARENT, in part 2 ISANCHESTOR, in part 3 ISCHILD. Now it’s time for:
ISDESCENDANT
The ISDESCENDANT function enables you to find the descendants of a member of a parent-child hierarchy, either all the descendants of a member, or the descendants at a specified hierarchical distance from the member.
Presentation Layer Syntax
ISDESCENDANT(pc_presentation_hierarchy, member_identifier [, distance])
Example “Hardcoded” distance = 1:
Case When ISDESCENDANT("Sales Person"."H5 Sales Rep",'24' ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Example “Hardcoded” distance = 2:
Case When ISDESCENDANT("Sales Person"."H5 Sales Rep",'24',2 ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Example “SessionVariable” distance = 2:
Case When ISDESCENDANT("Sales Person"."H5 Sales Rep",VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.HierarchyUser) ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Note: If you leave the distance option out you will get all the children.
Business Model and Mapping Layer Syntax
ISDESCENDANT(logical_dimension, member_identifier [, distance])
Example “Hardcoded” distance = 1:
Case When ISDESCENDANT("13 - Hierarchy levels"."H5 Sales Rep",'24' ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Example “Hardcoded” distance = 2:
Case When ISDESCENDANT("13 - Hierarchy levels"."H5 Sales Rep",'24',2 ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Example “SessionVariable”:
FILTER("13 - Hierarchy levels"."F0 Sales Base Measures"."1- Revenue" USING ISDESCENDANT("13 - Hierarchy levels"."H5 Sales Rep", VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."HierarchyUser"),2))
Till Next Time
OBIEE Hierarchy Navigation Functions {HNF} Part 3
In Part 1 we did ISPARENT, in part 2 ISANCHESTOR.
ISCHILD
The ISCHILD function enables you to find the children of a member of a parent-child hierarchy, that is, all the members that are one hierarchical level below the specified member.
Presentation Layer Syntax:
ISCHILD(pc_presentation_hierarchy, member_identifier)
Example “hardcoded”:
Case When ISCHILD("Sales Person"."H5 Sales Rep",'24' ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Example “Session Variable”:
Case When ISCHILD("Sales Person"."H5 Sales Rep",VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.HierarchyUser) ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Business Model and Mapping Layer Syntax:
ISCHILD(logical_dimension, member_identifier)
Example “hardcoded” :
Case When ISCHILD("13 - Hierarchy levels"."H5 Sales Rep",'24' ) Then 'YES' else 'NO' END
Example “SessionVariable”
FILTER("13 - Hierarchy levels"."F0 Sales Base Measures"."1- Revenue" USING ISCHILD("13 - Hierarchy levels"."H5 Sales Rep", VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."HierarchyUser")))
