  • Date control in Dashboard prompt??

    Hi All:
    I am using dashboard prompt to filters date. And I am using Between operator. When I give same date in from and to date then it does not work. If I give one day after to date then it shows ok dates. Like
    From Date: '28-12-2007'
    to_date: '28-12-2007'
    It should show the record of '28-12-2007'(Record exist against that date). But when i give to date: 29-12-2007 then it shows the records of 28-12-2007's date. can any body know what could the problem. Thanks

    Ahh, do you have dates stored as Timestamps in your database or do you just have dates without timestamps. The only way i can think of to overcome your problem is to convert them as chars in the filter rather than dates. Unfortunately, BI EE appends TIMESTAMP clause to all its date prompt values even if you have some other format as system-wide default.

  • Can we change filter column values in a union query using Dashboard prompt

    Hi,
    I have a requirement in which have to draw a chart report for last six months?.
    When i query against database, my query got different where clause for open month and close month.
    Say for july month bar, it got close month as july and open month as july, june, may. Like this, for june month bar, it has to have close month as june and open month as june, may, april. like this, i created six union queries using repository variable.
    Want to give control using dashboard prompt for close month and open month?
    my query look like this.
    select close month1, fact1 from table1
    where close month = july and open month in (july, june, may)
    UNION
    select close month2, fact2 from table1
    where close month = june and open month in (june, may, april)
    UNION
    select close month3, fact3 from table1
    where close month = may and open month in (may, april, march)
    UNION
    select close month4, fact4 from table1
    where close month = april and open month in (april, march, february)
    UNION
    select close month5, fact5 from table1
    where close month = march and open month in (march, february, january)
    UNION
    select close month6, fact6 from table1
    where close month = february and open month in (february, january, december)
    Welcome your suggestions on this?.
    Thanks

    Hi Karol,
    Yes the prompt is working fine when i put this following method under the "Button" Component.
    APPLICATION.openPromptDialog(800, 600);
    Somehow the when i use the "Input Field" and use the "Button" Component and write this following logic inside it i don't see the prompt is not taking the values what i am entering in input field i assume that its issue with data-source not getting refreshed.
    Variable=INPUTFIELD_1.getValue();
    APPLICATION.setVariableValue("PercentageIncrease",Variable);
    Thanks,

  • Making dashboard prompts mandatory

    Hi All,
    I am facing one issue.
    I have 4 columns in dashboard prompt.I want to make it mandatory that user should select some value in atleast one prompt column.
    Means user can't run the report with all 4 prompt columns as "All Choices" or all 4 blank.
    If user do this than popup should appear (like in javascript) saying that "You should select atleast one prompt".
    Can we achieve this in OBIEE? PLease let me know if any other information is needed.

    hi,
    I have not faced this "problem" .I try to avoid drop down and prefer using multi select(more flexible).
    Anyway,you face your problem from one way..why not try an other one???
    let the user to choose anything he/she wants,and make the filter in your answer.
    Meaning,put some case when in your columns....(by using rcount(1) function)...
    1.using the max(rcount(collumnname)) = (the number of your max rows of a column)....then null....the same if
    max(rcount(collumnname)) =0 .....
    2.put in aswers(there is a choise of none results...-->>display your message).
    Otherwise , for your first way of solving,the only way is javascript!
    get firebug and which functions,css control your dashboards prompts and go button.Put there your code.
    hope i helped....

  • Can you control format when setting variable from dashboard prompt?

    I'm setting a session variable from a calendar date prompt in a dashboard prompt, and the variable is referenced in a calculation in the business model. I'm initializing the date prompt from another variable which returns format TIMESTAMP 'YYYY-MM-DD 00:00:00', and the initial load of the dashboard is successful. After changing the value of the date prompt, the query fails because the prompt sets the variable to 'mm/dd/yyyy'.
    My question is: Is there any way to control the formatting when setting a variable from a dashboard prompt? I would like to get the timestamp format.
    Thanks,
    Greg

    If You wants time than in dashboard prompt's coloumn formula use cast function as "cast(date as time)" if date than "cast(date_col_name as date)". But I also have that one problem.Firstly tell me, Is it possible that using two dates in using betwwen operator in dashboard. We access server variable. If not working one thing more that u should have filter on date coloumn in report layout.And in action coloumn u select prompted. Than It will must work.

  • Need to store variables from multi-select in Dashboard Prompt.

    I am using a Dashboard Prompt with a Drop-down List Control. The user selected value from this Drop-down List Control is stored in a Presentation Variable.
    I would like to use a Multi-Select Prompt and store all multi-select values in a variable string. I have read that is not possible to use Presentation Variables with a Multi-Select Prompt.
    Does anyone have a workaround for this?
    Thanks,

  • Constrained values not generating correctly in Dashboard prompt

    Hi,
    I have a dashboard prompt which has 4 drop downs viz From Month, From Year, To Month, To year and one Mullti Select Product.The default and the drop down values for the first four prompts are controlled by SQL queries so that in drop down only those values are displayed in the drop down for which i have data in my fact tables and the multi select of product is a constratined one.
    As per the current scenario i have data for current month - 1 (say if current month is August so i have data for July). In the default values for these prompts i show the current month and year (August and 2010). So when i select July in my From Month prompt the values for other promts get set to August and 2010 for month and date prompts (both From and To). And then when i click on the multi select of product no values are shown on OBI screen even though they are in database.
    This is due to the fact the query that OBI genrates in the backend the To Month is set to August not May, even though May is shown on the dashboard.
    However, if cilck on GO then the values for contsratined promt are generated correctly and also the backend query changes the To Month is set to May.
    Could somebody help me to resolve this problem.
    Thx :)

    Reminds me of a bug I hit with constrained prompts and a time dimension, but I didnt have another dimension (your Product) in my case. I'll try and dig out the bug number for you. - Have you got a support account to login and check it out?

  • No break in dashboard prompt name

    hi ,
    My dashboard prompt name is walker SR Account Name .But OBIEE by default put Walker SR In one line and Account Name in Another line . but we need to show walker SR Account Name in one line.
    Thanks,

    I have a prompt with 4 columns-full date, customer number,customer name and customer (concat of customer number and name) in the same order. I checked Constrain to the last two columns--customer name and customer, so that I get the customer name and customer fields filled up when I selected customer number.
    Here are the details:
    'Column' 'operator' 'control' 'show'(constrain) 'default to' 'set variable' 'label'
    'Full Date' 'is between' 'calendar' 'unchecked constrain' 'specific value' --- 'Period'
    'Customer Number' 'is equal to/is in' 'multi-select' 'all values' 'specific value' -- 'Customer #'
    'Customer Name' 'is equal to/is in' 'multi-select' 'all values/Constrain' 'Report Defaults' -- 'Customer Name'
    'Customer Name))' 'is equal to/is in' 'multi-select' 'all values/Constrain' 'Report Defaults' -- 'Customer'
    Since date/customer number is default to specific value, on the dashboard, I click on Customer Name and/or Customer and it shows 'No Choices Available.'I see the same behavior even if I change the full date and Customer Number.
    I tried the following after looking for this online.
    1) Click OK in the Customer Name multi select box.
    OR
    2) Enter some value in the box and click GO in the CUstomer Name multi select box.
    OR
    3) Select Constrain (which I am already doing).
    None of the mentioned above worked for me.

  • Date field in Dashboard Prompt

    Hi,
    Still try to find how I can format date in dashboard prompt.
    I have created prompt for Invoice cleared date using calendar format in control.
    After pressing go button the format is changed to MM/DD/YYYY HH:MI:SS
    I want format should always remain to MM/DD/YYYY.
    Please let me the easy way to correct this issue.
    Thanks,
    Poojak

    Yikes! I think you may have found a bug...
    Seeing your screen shots, I was able to recreate your issue. I tried modifying the database connection feature tab to set a default datetime format, as well as changing the datetime format in the NQSconfig.ini file. Looking at the source code of the OBIEE page, it appears that there is Java script called GFPDoFilters that runs once you click the button (see "onclick" in the source code below). This function seems to be called in ..\OracleBI\web\app\res\b_mozilla\prompts\globalfilterprompt.js.
    If you know java script, you can try and play around in there to find where the date is defaulting to, although I'm no java script expert, and messing with core code can potentially void your OBIEE warranties.
    You may want to log this as a bug with Metalink and see how they respond to it. I agree with you that it does not make sense to have a timestamp added to a calendar day selector, so hopefully they would look into resolving for the next release.
    I'm sorry I wasn't able to provide the response you were looking for, but I think it may be the unfortunate reality.
    Please let me know if there is anything else I can do, and good luck!

  • Calculation based on Dashboard prompt

    Hi,
    How to calculate numerical values based on dashboard prompt values
    Ex if we select 'N' from prompt it should divide numerical value in the request by some other measure else default value.
    Thanks
    Suresh

    Hi...
    If your question is that, solution provided by naresh, then... small correction (not exactly correction... but my view...)
    *CASE WHEN upper('@{VAR}')='N' THEN your measure ELSE '@{VAR}{ +default value+ }' END*
    upper function is used.. if your prompt has editbox control and enter small n or capital.... don't worry... as it converts to upper and checking for capital N only...
    Here VAR is presentation variable name you have given...
    '@{VAR}{ +default value+ }' is variable name with the default value i.e. there in your dashboard prompt if you have specified...
    Ex: *'{@var_region}{CENTRAL REGION}'*
    Naresh post is.. really helpful to you... i hope...

  • Dashboard prompt calendar date not filtering results

    I have a report with a date value. I custom formatted the date to MM/dd/yy and the report shows it correctly. I created a dashboard prompt with a calendar control and "is between" operator. However, the date never gets filtered. All values are shown. Do I have to change anything in the prompt because I custom formatted the date?
    Ahh.. forgot to add "is prompted" to column filter

    Hi Subbu,
    Thanks, but my question is a bit different.
    I want to have 2 'Dashboard' Prompts:
    1) Country - The default value for which should be set to the logged in User's Country. Later the user can choose to select a different country.
    2) Calendar Year/Month - For this I want to limit the restrict the values that are displayed, i.e. they should start from 2010 / 01 and end at Current Month. So I need the variable that would work with this field.
    I am unable to get solution for both of the above.

  • Constraint not working in OBIEE 10G Dashboard prompt

    Hi All,
    We are facing a issue in constraint in dashboard prompt.
    We have two database tables Employee and Calender. Both are joined through time_id key.
    We have made a report from coloumns of both.
    We have made dashboard prompt consisting of 3 coloums i.e.
    Month-YEAR,
    Week Ending,
    Shift Date
    First two are from same employee table and Shift date is from calender.
    Both dimensions are also in Awnsers as it is.
    All 3 prompts are multiselect. Constraint box is checked in all.
    Issue is that, When I select a Month-Year in prompt, Corresponding 4 or 5 weekendings comes in multiselect box.
    But when i select a week ending from here, i don't get corresponding Seven dates for that particular week.
    Instead all shift dates available there in calender table comes in multiselect.
    Does constraint don't work on coloums of different dimensions or tables?
    Any body , Please reply with a possible solution.
    Regards,
    Apurv Mishra

    Thanks @786372 for your response..
    But, If we will make view for those coloums , then how can we apply ''Is Prompted" for prompted coloum in our report filters.
    As per my understanding, to make ''Is Prompted '' work , Fx (coloum formula) should be same in report and prompt.
    So, how can we create a different view only for prompt.
    We may use presentation variable to make above work, i won't be able to create multi-select prompt.
    Regards
    Apurv

  • Column constrain doesn't work correctly in dashboard prompts

    Hi,
    We have a dashboard prompt with 3 columns. The first both columns are set to default values. The last column has multi-select control with checked Constrain checkbox. The shown values should depend on the values of the other columns.
    If a user opens the multi-select window to choose values, only values are visible, which depends on the values of the other columns. This is the expected behaviour.
    But if the user clicks on the Go-Button in the multi-select window, all possible values are shown. Can anybody let me know why this is happening and how to overcome it.

    Hello,
    I think that this is the default behavior.
    At my reports happens the same, so nothing is apparently wrong in your prompt.
    Does anybody know a way to avoid this behavior?
