CSV output selects all values returned by htmldb_item.select_list_from_lov

I have a report with several columns using htmldb_item.select_list_from_lov. When I enable CSV Output (export to Excel) All the values in each of the columns get exported to Excel, not only the one selected in the report. For example. A value of ABC is selected in the report (stored in the database and this is a valid value in the LOV). In the drop down I also have values of DEF, GHI and IJK. I would expect only ABC to be exported, but I actually get ABC, DEF, GHI, IJK (all possible values) instead all displayed in the same column.
Any ideas?

I was able to work through this problem. Thank You.

SSRS 2012: How to get a "Select All" that returns NULL instead of an actual list of all values from a multi-select parameter?

I have a multi-select parameter that can have a list of thousands of entries. In general, the user will pick a few entries from the list or "Select All". If they check "Select All", I would much prefer that I get a NULL or an empty string
instead of a list of all values. Is there any way to do that?
In experimenting with a work-around, I tried putting an "All" label with a null value in the list, but it is ignored (does not display in the drop-down). If I use an empty string for the value, my "All" entry does get displayed, but so
does "Select All", which is confusing. Is there a way to suppress "Select All"?
- Mark

I adapted the following from a workaround posted by JNeo on 4/16/2010 at 11:14 AM at
http://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/249227/multi-value-select-all-parameter-in-reporting-services
To get a null value instead of the full list of all values when "Select All" is chosen:
1) Add a multi-value parameter "MyParam" that lists the values to choose.
2) Add a DataSet "ParamCount" identical to the one used by "MyParam", except that it returns a single column named [Count] that is a COUNT(*) of the same data
3) Add a parameter "MyParamCount", set it to hidden and internal, then set the default value to 'Get values from a query', choosing "ParamCount" for the Dataset and the one [Count] column for the Value field.
4) Change the parameter for the main report DataSet so that instead of using [@MyParam], it uses this expression:
=IIF(Parameters!MyParam.Count =
Parameters!ParamCount.Value, Nothing, Join(Parameters!MyParam.Value, ","))

Select all values from field in LOV

I need to create a LOV in Discoverer that works as follows: I have 4 values in a dimension, but I want the user could select another value, something as 'all'. This value includes the values in the dimension table and any other value in the relationed fields.
For example, I have four values, A,B,C and D. But I want to add another value, 'All' that matches this four values as any other one. How can I do that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Javier,
When you create a parameter, you have the option to let the user to enter multiple values. Therefore, if you have a LOV, the user can select one or multiple or all values.

Javascript while selecting all values in multiselect option of prompt

Hi,
I am getting javascript error while doing following steps. It seems to be a bug in OBIEE.
- Create a dashboard prompt, add a column with multiselect option.
- Use this dashboard prompt in your report.
- Click '...' button to select values for this dashboard prompt.
- Now click '<<' button to include all values and then click 'ok' button.
- Now again click '...' button to modify values.
When you click, you will get a javascript error. If debugging is ON in your browser setting then you will get a prompt. If it is turned OFF you can see it at the bottom left corner of your page.
Any idea how can i resolve this issue?
Thanks.
Aasim Khan.

No, I'm not getting the error. Able to do all the steps specified by you and even adding, removing etc... Tested in 10.1.3.4.
Which version of OBIEE are you using?
I think it might be because of large number of values it is extracting in your case (don't know exactly).

Select all values from Rule in Store Procedure

Hi
I have a rule like this
CREATE RULE [dbo].[Rle_Currency_Lst]
AS
@List IN
('PKR','USD')
GO
Now i want to make simple "Currency List" report for which i need to select values from above rule in Store Procedure which i will use in SSRS to fill my report.
Please help
Zubair Afridi | Please mark as answered or vote helpful if this post help resolved your issue. Thanks!

One way to get the values.
declare @definition nvarchar(max);
select @definition = m.definition
from sys.objects o
inner join sys.sql_modules m on o.object_id = m.object_id
where schema_name(o.schema_id) = 'dbo' and o.name = 'Rle_Currency_Lst';
set @definition = SUBSTRING(@definition, CHARINDEX('''', @definition), LEN(@definition));
set @definition = LEFT(@definition, CHARINDEX(')', @definition) - 1);
declare @myXML AS XML;
set @myXML = N'<H><r>' + REPLACE(SUBSTRING(@definition, CHARINDEX('''', @definition), LEN(@definition)), ',', '</r><r>') + '</r></H>'
declare @result table(myvalues nvarchar(100));
insert @result(myvalues)
SELECT Vals.id.value('.', 'NVARCHAR(100)') AS val
FROM @myXML.nodes('/H/r') AS Vals(id)
update @result set myvalues = REPLACE(myvalues, '''', '');
select * from @result;
Note that rules is a deprecated feature and will be removed in a future version of SQL Server. The replacement for rules is CHECK CONSTRAINTS. You may well want to consider a plan to migrate your current rules to check constraints.

How to create a search all value on list

I am trying to create a form which will enable user to select
an item on a list to filter records, or allow him to not select
anything and see all records.
I created a generic form with one list on it and a submit
button. Values are:
Item Label Value
Select All-- (I left this blank)
Bicycles--Bicycles
Motorcycles--Motorcycles
Skateboards--Skateboards
My results page seems to be okay. I created a recordset and a
dynamic table. In recordset, the default varable that was created
shows Name: colname
Type: Text
Default value: -1
Runtime Value: $_POST['2']
Problem is that when I select one of the items from the list
on the form (ex. skateboards), my results page shows all records
for skateboards. When I select "Select All" from the list, I don't
receive any records. What can I do to allow user not to enter any
value and have him receive all records?
Thanks in advance....

I found the answer for all of you trying to do the same
thing:
In your "Select All" value, put %
then, select 'contains' instead of = in your filter. That
should do it! Hopefully this helps someone!

"Select All" option in Multiselect Query Filter

Hi,
Is there a way to select all values in a multiselect filter option in a query. currently i have created a variable or a mandatory filter which allows me to select all values one by one and then move it to right side, but its very painful option in certain cases where in i need to select all values. Is there a way where in one can select all values with a single click in Query Filter in Web Analyzer.
Thanks
Akila. R

Hi,
You can give range values in the Query designer.
You can include variable selection where user can enter the selections with their own selections.
Let us know if you still have any issues.

Hide "All values" in input controls?

Hey guys,
I'm wondering that I could not find my question already in this forum but however - this is my question:
Isn't it possible to hide the value "All values" in the input controls? In some cases it just doesn't make sense to leave that into the input-control-field.
I.e. if I want to give the possibility to switch between Euro, kEUR and mEUR I need to hide the "All values" radio button (see screenshot).
But how can I do that?
Thanks for your help !
Oliver

Hi,
That was a very useful answer!
I have a quick question - I am in BO 4.0 (not 4.1) and I would like to default the "All values" selection to a specific value.
I have defined the input control using Var_Currency_Type (dimension) and have assigned two values i.e. 'USD' & 'Local Currency'. The default value is 'USD'.
The input control works fine. When I select either USD or Local Currency.
but, I do not see any table when I select 'all values'. I would like it to display 'USD' when user selects 'All Values'.
=======================================================================
In the format table (two tables - one for USD and one for Local currency), I have put in the formula:
x - Hide when following formula is true
=ReportFilter([Var_Curency_Type])<>"USD" -- for USD table
and = ReortFilter([Var_Currency_Type])<>"Local Currency" for Local Currency table.
======================================================================
Does anyone have encoutered this situation. Could you please share the solution?
Thanks for your time.

Select List not returning return_value

Greetings
I have a field on a page that is Display As: Select List.
My list of values definition, (as generated by the Create Dynamic List of Values wizard)
select DNAME display_value, DEPTNO return_value
from DEPT
order by 1
When I run my page and select from the select list it returns the value of dname rather than deptno.
Am I missing something, because of the format of the list of values definition I was expecting the return value of deptno.
If I change my display type to PopupLOV, the return value is the deptno, so why is it that the select list is not returning deptno?
Any help is appreciated
Regards
Mark

Jeff,
I read Mark's statement as saying:
Select "Accounting" from select list
Value returned displays "Accounting"
Value stored in the database is "Accounting"
which seems very odd. Whenever I've used these, it displays Accounting but the item value becomes "10".
Good luck Mark!

Dropdown list with custom All Values option

Hi,
We are running VC on 7.4 SP2. I have a dropdown list which gets its' values from a BW query. This works great except that I want to add a custom entry which selects all values.
In BW you would do this by setting the selection variable to "" as in nothing specified/empty. This is also the default setting in VC (you made no selection so you will get all results) but once you select something this can not be deselected.
So the idea is to add a custom entry All with value "" but apparently this gets send to BW as """" which is not a valid value. VC does not allow to use an empty value field.
So basically I am stuck here. Any of you found a solution to this problem?
regards,
Matthias

Hi Matthias,
I see your point. I could suggest two options:
1. In the dropdown input control, delete the value. Then press submit.
This works fine, only we don't get the empty value in the list.
2. To have the empty value in the list, like this:
Add to the entries of the list:
Then edit the mapping to the service to convert * into an empty string:

Values for htmldb_item.text field do not display in CSV output

HTML DB experts,
I have a report query with the following 2 items in the SELECT statement:
wwv_flow_item.display_and_save(2, DOC_CD, 10) DOC_CD,
htmldb_item.text(3, DOC_DESC, 50, 255) DOC_DESC
I have enabled the CSV output for this report. The problem is, when I generate a csv file, only the DOC_CD (wwv_flow_item.display_and_save) displays. The values for the DOC_DESC (htmldb_item.text) do not display. What do I need to do to get the DOC_DESC to display?
Thanks for your help.

Items rendered using htmldb_item generate HTML tags on the form, not plain text. You are right, the CSV export excludes them.
Your best best is to create another report region on some other page with the same query except replace all the htmldb_item() calls with regular columns i.e. make it a read-only report and use the "export: CSV" template and put up a link to this page at the bottom of your editable report (instead of the builtin CSV link). This way when you click on this link, it will generate your report and immediately offer to export it to CSV
Hope this helps.

Select query failing to return all values

So I've just completed my first batch insert into DocumentDB and ran into the following irregularity while verifying my documents were added correctly. I am seeing this issue through the Portal Query Explorer and the Python SDK.
I have found 4 id values that are in my collection, but won't get returned in a Select all type query.
Queries I've used to select just that item/document. These work correctly and return my document. Therefore, I assume the document is in the collection.
SELECT * FROM Matches m WHERE m.id = "2997"
SELECT VALUE m.id FROM Matches m WHERE m.id = "2997"
However, when doing a broader SELECT query, some ids are not returned.
SELECT * FROM Matches
SELECT VALUE m.id FROM Matches m
Neither of the above queries return the document with id "2997". I've three other ids where this is the case.
Am I missing something obvious here, or is there a bug? I've added all ~991 documents into the collection using the same batch program.
Edit: Here's a test program I've drawn up to show this issue (you can take my word for it that the clients are initialised correctly): https://gist.github.com/Fitzpasd/1dde776b00eacf68b361
And this prints:
1
991
False
False
False
True

I also have some issues with pages. When I execute a simple query like:
SELECT x FROM Root x
or
SELECT s FROM Root x JOIN s IN x.Children
(The Children array contains more than 100 items)
And I use the AsDocumentQuery() method in the c# API, iterating through the pages works fine (the continuation token is returned in the request)
But when I execute the following query:
SELECT s FROM Root x JOIN s IN x.Children WHERE x.id = "<guid>"
the continuation token is not returned so I can't get to the next pages.
Is this related to the same bug ?

Return all data without selecting any value in query filter

Hi,
I created a document with query filters(prompt, LOV). But sometimes users don't want to select any value and just want to return all data in the report.
I can't find a way to achieve this. Does anyone know how to implement this ?
Thanks.

Hi,
you can modify the "select" statement for your LOV and add an additionaly keyword like "ALL" in your list of values. Then you can modify your where-clause to handle the "ALL" keyword.
E.g. (<your condition>=@prompt(....) or 'ALL'=@prompt(......) )
