thnaks

Why even put a prompt when you dont want user to select anything other than what is hardcoded? You can just hardcode it in the report filters, right? Just trying to see what is the purpose.

  • How to add some text between columns in dashboard prompt?

    Hi,
    OBIEE version:10.1.3.4.1
    Can we add some words between columns in dashboard prompt?
    like, I want to add OR, make sure user not to select different month, if selected the different months it will make the report no data.
    Month OR Date Range(this is a calendar)
    Does anyone have any idea about this?
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Anne

    Hi,
    If you are using the prompts with presentation variables or referring only the columns separately then you can create individual prompts and place static text between them.
    But if you need to have both the prompt columns together then create the prompts and use 'space' as the label names for both.(ie prompts would appear but the name wont appear). And create a static text in the page or in a report and place in the page. Which appears as the name of the prompt with 'OR' between the prompt names.
    This should solve your problem.

  • Dynamically change column heading without Dashboard Prompt

    Hi All,
    My requirement is change the column heading dynamically in a report. I have achieved this through setting the presentation variable to the dashboard prompt.
    I have 5 columns in the dashboard prompt. Out of these 5 columns, I want to use only 1 column as dashboard prompt.
    But still I want to dynamically change the column heading of the other 4 columns based on the only 1 column selected in the dashboard prompt.
    Is there anyway to achieve this?

    You need to have some logic to change other 4 columns based on 1 selected column.. where you want put that logic?

  • 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....

  • Dashboard Prompt that does not link to any column

    Hi,
    This might be a basic question but I am missing something here.
    How can we create a dashboard Prompt that is not linked to any columns? This prompt has to be a drop down with two values to choose from.
    1. Accounting
    2. Operational
    The value chosen in this prompt will be used for calculations in my reports. The calculation for Accounting and Operational is different.
    I do NOT have these two values in any of the columns.
    Please suggest on how can I do this.
    This is OBIEE 10.1.3
    Your help is very appreciated

    SELECT 'Accounting' FROM "Subject area"
    where Time."Date"=current_date
    union all
    SELECT 'Operational' FROM "Subject area"
    where Time."Date"=current_date
    Pls mark as correct/helpful

  • How to create 'NOT in between' dashboard prompt on a column

    Hello Guys,
    I have a simple request where the dashboard prompt has to send in data for 'NOT in between'. OBIEE does not give this option by default..
    Any one who tried this .. can you please help with some pointers on this.
    Column1 less than 100 or greater than 2000 --> This condition has to be sent from the dashboard. So my option in SQL is to use NOT in between 100 and 2000.
    Thanks in advance
    Kris

    Hi kris,
    in the prompts you will have not between condition check out....if not write a SQL like this for the prompt
    SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name not between 100 and 2000*
    (OR)
    SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name >= 100 AND column_name<= 2000*
    you want values in that range then the SQL should be
    SELECT FROM table_name WHERE column_name between 100 and 2000*
    check this article
    http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/02/26/oracle-bi-ee-101332-between-prompts-for-date-columns-using-presentation-variables
    UPDATED POST
    in place of constant values play with your session variables or Presentation variables by writing this above SQL according to your requirment and you would get your solution.Give a try then comment is it working or not.
    Hope answers your question.
    Cheers,

  • Changing 'All Column Values' in dashboard prompt

    In OBIEE 11g, how to modify the dashboard prompt All label value? I do not want to change value in XML file , because it will impact all dashboard prompt value.
    Is it there better method to implement this problem?
    For example:
    In dashboard prompt-->edit -->options--->tick 'Include "All Column Values" choice in the list', so I can view '(All Column Values)' value in prompt. Customers want to changed this value,such as 'all values'. Is it possible? Thanks.

    Hi,
    Can do it using Union All is prompt SQL and presentation variable in report.

  • Using a column twice in a dashboard prompt -- multi-select and wild-carding

    My client is using OBIEE 10.1.3.2; they cannot upgrade at this time. However, they want to be able to enter both a list of values and a wild-card search for additional values at the same time for a single column in a dashboard prompt.
    Since they cannot upgrade, they do not have the wild-card search feature of the enhanced multi-select prompt feature of 10.1.3.3 and later releases.
    Has anyone found another method to do this, perhaps by using a column twice in a dashboard prompt or in separate dashboard prompts on the same dashboard apge, in order to OR the results of a multi-select and an edit box (with wild-card pattern-match entry)? I suspect that will not work -- that the results sets of one prompt for a column will override any other prompt result sets for the same column.
    Has anyone found another way to do this, prior to release 10.1.3.3?

    Yes, it is possible.
    This is how to do it:
    In your report you need to add two filters on the same column and combine them with OR.
    First filter: is prompted.
    Second filter: is like presentation_variable
    Then protect this filter!* This will make that your prompt will be filtered on the pres. variable and that it won't be overwritten by another prompt.
    Now create your dashboard prompt:
    First add your column with an edit box and attach the presentation variable to it.
    Then edit the formula of the column, so it will not reference to the column anymore. (Which isn't needed, since the value will be set to the pres. variable.)
    Then add the same column with a multi-select.
    Then test it and check your results.

    Stijn

  • OBIEE - How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt?

    Hello! I need some help with OBIEE dashboard Prompts. Any help will be highly appreciated!
    Question 1. How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt or the entire prompt? There seems to be no "hide" or "dsable" options on
    prompts.
    Question 2. How to synchronize 2 different prompts on the same dashboard?
    The application is this: There are total of 2 tabs on a dashboard ("tab_1" and "tab_2"). Each tab uses different prompts ("pr_1" and "pr_2"), having just one first drop down column in common ("Product_id").
    The desired functionality is this: user selects "Product_id" on the first tab's prompt, which filters its reports (on "Go") and also propagates to the second tab. When user clicks on the second tab, the reports there are already filtered (or begin filtering) by "product_id", selected on the first tab.
    Question 3. How to prevent the reports from retrieving when switching to a different tab on a dshboard? Specifying dummy default values in the prompt does
    not seem to preven reports from retrieving, which still takes time.
    Thank you very much!
    Roger

    Regarding Question 2:
    What you need to have is a Dashboard scope dashboard prompt for Product_ID (i.e., Don't use the column prompt from the prompt tab within the Request.)
    1) Create the dashboard prompt, put it on tab1 and save the prompt to a presentation variable, say prmtProdID. Set the scope to "dashboard." (This is the default, by the way.) If you create a dashboard prompt and set the scope to "dashboard," then the prompt values selected will hold true across dashboard pages.
    2) On tab2, go to your report and in Criteria mode, apply a filter to the Product_ID column making it equal to the PV. (Click the filter icon, Add>Variable>Presentation Variable and type prmtProdID. Save.)
    When the user selects a Product_ID on tab1 of your dashboard and hits "Go," not only will it filter your report on tab1, when you go to tab2 the report here will be filtered with the same value selected in the prompt on tab2.
    Regarding Question 3:
    If you implement 2, you cannot implement 3. You can't have it both ways. Not for the same scenario. But if you want to know how to do it in general, read this:

  • Column hiding based on Dashboard Prompt value in OBIEE 10g

    Hi,
    Can you please let me know, whether there is any possibility of "hiding the column based on the value selected in the Dashboard Prompt".
    Your suggestions are highly appreciated.
    Thanks & Regards
    Siva

    Hi,
    Simple way to solve it.
    Steps
    1.) set presentation variable for each columns of your dashboard prompt
    2.) edit your analysis of table/pivot view ---> colums formate header in this place just keep it your presentation variable values like below
    E.x
    @{ccy}
    Then save it and then test out

  • 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?
