Calculated Percentage Column always showing result as 0% Zero Percentage in OBIEE 11g

You may also face similar issue while upgrading OBIEE to a newer version or if you upgrade some of your dashboards from OBIEE 10.1.3.4 to 11.1.1.5. The issue is that, some of the calculations under certain columns in the reports were showing zeros instead of the calculated values.  The requirement was to calculate a match rate % for some data based on another field that showed 'MATCH' or 'NO MATCH'. 
 The real-time scenario was
(SUM(CASE Table1.Column1 WHEN 'MATCH' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)/COUNT(Table1.Column1))*100

However, this was returning 0% as the result. With the help of some blogs and questions raised on OBIEE threads I came to know that this happens when you have an integer in a calculation. The solution which I used is very simple and was successful in achieving the requirement. The very easy fix to this issue is to multiply the calculation by 1.0.  The updated calculation which works is shown below and provides a meaningful result.
(don't use 1, as this will not work.  Use 1.0)

((1.0*SUM(CASE Table1.Column1 WHEN 'MATCH' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END))/(1.0*COUNT(Table1.Column1)))*100

Unbilled Receivables and Unearned Revenue Accounting in Oracle Projects

Unbilled Receivables and Unearned Revenue Accounting in Oracle Projects Introduction When it comes to contractual billing, invoice and revenue generation are two separate processes, which during the lifespan of a project may or may not always coincide with each other and so do the balances in revenue and receivables accounts.  This interim difference between revenue and invoice account balances is bridged using Unbilled Receivables (UBR) and Unearned Revenue (UER) Accounts. Unearned Revenue (UER) Unearned Revenue (also termed as deferred revenue or UER) signifies money received for the goods or services, which are yet to be delivered.  As per the principles of Revenue Recognition, UER is recorded as on the balance sheet unless it is converted to Revenue upon delivery of goods or services For Example XYZ Consulting Ltd. receives an annual maintenance contract of $ 12,000 on Dec 31, 2014 for the period of Jan 01, 2015 to Dec 31, 2015.
