Filter by Column

Hi
Is it possible to filter by column. In our report we need one column to show current period values, then another column to show another periods column.
So when user executes, the report will ask for two comparison periods. Then we will show the values but need each period in seperate column.
Is this possible? How do people make reports to show comparison periods in Webi?
Thakns in advance

Hi,
It sounds like you could do this by creating a report with two queries. Query1 will return results for period one, placed in column 1 and Query2 will return results for period two, placed in column 2.
Hope this helps,
Mike

How do I filter a column by specific values?

Hello,
I have imported a large .csv log file that contains many different columns and values into DIAdem. One of the columns contains a hexadecimal value field, and I need to filter the column by the last byte of this hex field. For instance, one of the values might be "CFFD0F3" and I need to find all rows that have "F3" as the last byte. I also need all of the other columns to be filtered in this same way.
There doesn't appear to be any easy way to do this in DIAdem, and I've searched online and through the discussion forums for ways to accomplish it. Whenever I search for the word "filter" it always leads me to FFTs or highpass/lowpass filters. I just want to filter a column like Excel does, but my log file contains around half a million entries, so I can't open it entirely in Excel.
I've attached a screenshot of what some of my columns look like, but for privacy reasons, I can't attach the log file.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks!
Solved!

Hi Ben,
I cooked up a nice little application for you. Since your post clearly stated that you were dealing with millions of data values, I took pains to implement this application as efficiently as possible and to include status dialogs to let you know what the script is doing at all times and which actions take the most time, in case we need to try to optimize it further for your purposes. You will need to extract the 3 files in the attached ZIP file to the same folder somewhere. Then you need to run the "ExtractIDGroups Add.VBS" script to add the VIEW context menu and register the UserCommands the VIEW context menu will be calling. We can set up your DIAdem to always run this VBScript whenever you launch it, once you're happy with the result.
You will use the new VIEW context menu in the following way. Load your data file into DIAdem, then show those loaded data channel in a VIEW table, just like your posted screenshot. Now select and right-click on the "Arb ID" channel (or whichever channel has the Hex addresses) and choose the new "Extract ID Groups" context menu. A user dialog will pop up on the left of your computer screen listing all the enumerated final 2 Hex suffix characters in that channel you right-clicked on. Select one or more of the desired Hex suffixes (shift or control key for multiselect), then click on the <OK> button. You will then see each of those selections broken out as a new Group in your Data Portal. You can select the "Extract I Groups" multiple times if you decide to go back and add a few more ID Groups.
The application is currently set up to sort the raw data in-place by the "Hex Suffix" values and leave them that way-- this along with leaving the "Hex Suffix" channel in the raw data Group makes it faster to repeat ID Group extraction from the same raw data set. This is also the more efficient way of extracting multiple ID Groups, which I'm guessing you will want to do. Each extracted ID Group is sorted at the very end by the values of first channel in that Group. So if you want to sort those extracted ID Groups by the "Abs Time" or "Rel Time" channel, say, you need to drag that sort-channel in the Data Portal from its start position to the very first channel position in that raw data group BEFORE selecting the "Extract ID Groups" context menu.
Let me know how this works for you,

Between-Filter on Column using calculated presentation-variable values

Hello everyone,
i'd like to know whether it is possible to filter a column with a Between-Statement using two calculations done on a single presentation variable in Oracle BI Answers
What i have:
- OBIEE 10g
A line-chart, which shows earnings over a period of several years: In 1999 it might be 100.000€, in 2000 it might be 80.000€,..., in 2009 it might be 95.000€ and so on.
What i want:
Now i'd like to create a dashboard prompt to be able to choose a certain year, for example 2006.
The chart then should show data for the year given (2006...) and two years before(2004, 2005) and two years after the chosen year(2007,2008).
Example:
If 2006 is chosen, then data from 2004 to 2008 should be shown in the chart
If 2000 is chosen, then data from 1998 to 2002 should be shown in the chart.
What i did:
- I created the Prompt, set its presentation variable to var_year.
- I then created a filter on my years-column, choosing "Between" from the DropDown-List.
- I added two 'Variable-fields within the filter-dialogue', each filled with var_year and a default value.
- I tried to add a +2 or -2 to the variable-expression field, but (ofcourse) got an error.
Thanks in Advance and greetings from Germany,
Chris

Sorry for not answering to your Posts yesterday.
I have to admit that i was unable to solve my problem, although the solutions posted, seemed to be quite promising.
Hammett81's solution
First, I gave Hammett81's solution a try and created a filter group using the 'Add filter' option/dialogue box.
This Filtergroup consists of 5 single filter expressions, which have been connected by ORs:
The way i created those filters:
In the 'Create/ Edit Filter' i've chosen 'is equal/ is in' - Operator.
Then i was given the chance to add a 'value' or to add 'Variable --> Presentation', which summons 2 textboxes (Variable Expression and Default)
Everything i put into the variable expression field will be put into the @{} bracket by OBIEE, after clicking ok.
So it is not possible to use +1, +2, -1,-2 etc. within this field, as this would lead to @{var_year +2} for example, which ofcourse does not match the presentation variable's name.
On the other hand, if i do not use a Variable Expression but a "Value field", then i can write @{var_year} +2 for example.
In my opinion, obiee wants to use the expression as a simple value though, rather than use it as a variable and therefore won't check the presentation variables value, when it tries to filter the data.
John's solution
Regarding Johns answer, i am not sure where to put the filter expression. Should this be added into the SQL-Query (Advanced-Tab) or do i have to add it within the columns formula? (fx)

Filter a column and a row based on two labels

Hi
Having a slight problem with an excel table and how to either filter or lookup the value I require.
Basically the table is a skill matrix that I am trying to create into an app. The columns of the table are Name, and then all the separate areas (Area 1, Area 2, Area 3 etc). The rows are then the persons name in the name column and then a grading of that
persons skills for each area. So the table looks look this:
Name.       Area 1.        Area 2.      Area 3.
John.            1.                1.             3
Paul.             2.                1.             1
I have created a gallery with all the names, and another gallery with all the areas - and I would like the values for the areas to show based on these 2 criteria. Tried Lookup which kept throwing up errors and also filter which again threw up errors. Is
there any way to combine these to get the values showing in a label?
Thanks

Thanks. I tried that method and it works but I have too many areas to make it functional within the app experience.
A bit more information:
I have a gallery which is linked to Table 1 - this consists of the name of each person and an image - the image is what controls the gallery, touch it and you go to screen 2 which is that person's individual 'page'.
On this page is the persons image, a label with their name, a drop down box and a text gallery. The drop down box and text gallery are linked to Table 2 - The dropdown is directed by a column in the table which is Zones and the text gallery is filtered by
these zones into the areas within the zones:
Zones            Areas            Name1            Name2
Name3 ....
Zone 1           Area 1            3
2                       3
Zone 1           Area 2            1
3                       2
Zone 2           Area 3            3
3                       3
Zone 3           Area 4            1
1                       3
(This is an example of the table - the areas actually go into close to 100 and split into 6 zones).
The Text gallery filter works upto a point - it gives me a Header which is based on the correct area - and only shows the Areas for the Zone picked from the drop down box. However, I would like the Body of the text gallery to give me the number for the name
(which is the same name as picked from gallery 1).
This is where I am having major problems (spent a week on this upto now and its nearly cost me 2 tablets when I think i have solved it and that little yellow triangle pops up in the body box).
I have tried Lookup on Table2, using the name from gallery 1 as a the argument but it asks me each time to pick the right column to look in, which would work if I wanted the gallery only to work for a single Name but I would like it to show the rankings
for the person who is picked from gallery1.

How to use, Case function and Filter in Column Formula?

Hello All,
I am using case function and also would like to filter value to populate.
Below is showing error :
case
when '@{Time}' = 'Year' then "Time"."Fiscal Year"
when '@{Time}' = 'Quarter' then "Time"."Fiscal Quarter"
when '@{Time}' = 'Month' then FILTER ("Time"."Fiscal Period" USING "Time"."Fiscal Period" NOT LIKE 'A%')
else ifnull('@{Time}','Selection Failed') end
Thanks, AK

when '@{Time}' = 'Month' then FILTER ("Time"."Fiscal Period" USING "Time"."Fiscal Period" NOT LIKE 'A%')I dont think Filter this works here or any other data types except number.
Try to use option Column's->Filter->Advanced->Convert this filter to SQL

with the specific account. But I don't know what the right criteria are for the filter. I think we need to put a filter in the project list on the field "Client" which says something like: Client is equal to "Title" of active account

Filter measure column for current year

Hi,
I'm stuck up with issue, we have a report from three tables D1, D2 and F1. In which D1 is time dimension. Now we have report from D2 and F1 with measures, and the report is placed in Dashboard which is having year prompt.
F1 is joined with D2 and D1 Time dimension as well, the requirement is in the report one of the measure column say X should always show the values for current year, while others will show according to prompt values.. In short I want to display one of the measure column for current year, even though the user selects the prompt value for year earlier to it the values should not change.
Please let me know, how to achieve this.
Thanks in advance

I think you can still solve this.
Whatever Srini said keep it.
Now for the date prompt create a presentation variable.
pass this presentation variable in the expression for measure which you don't want the current year.
case d1.year=@{presentationvarialbe} then sum(f1.x) else 0 end
you can also use the filter expression too.
remove year prompt filter from the report. and then add a new filter for the measure as<>0.

BPS: How to filter Lead Columns at run time

I need to know if there is a way to filter values for lead columns, after planning level and planning package where defined
Example:
Family | Material | Brand | Format | sales | cost | Margin
F1      M1         B1      F1       100     80     20
F1      M2         B1      F1        95     85     10
F1      M2         B1      F2       105     90     15
In this case the user wants to add 10% to sales and review how does it impact into margin, but he wants to apply it only to rows where Material is M1.
So, he needs to use some kind of filter data (like Excel functionality) to select only the rows corresponding to material M1.
After that, he wants to perform other filters over the other lead columns, and apply again some changes in the data columns.
Somebody can help me with this requirement?
Thanks in advance
Message was edited by: Pamela Valdivia

Hi Pamela,
First of all you would need a variable for Material with Replacement type user defined values to be able to restrict the data for Material M1 when the layout is executed.
For incrementing the sales by 10% you can create a Planning function which increases the sales amount by 10% and provide a button for the same in the User Planning Folder. You could also restrict the Planning function for Material M1 if you so desire.
The benefit of the Planning function is that you can always "Undo" the operation if you have not saved/performed a subsequent operation. So as long as the user is applying some changes and undoing the same before the second change step the data is as it is, and for what changes the user would like to simulate you can create a Planning function and provide the option in the Planning folder.
Hope it helps.
Cheers

ALV: cannot filter multiple columns at a time

Hi,
I'm trying to fix a problem in a report that uses ALV grid: when I try to filter the grid content by choosing a multi-column criteria, I get prompted only to enter the first column selection criteria. That is, I multi-select 2 or more columns, right click, then Set Filter...; I get the selection only for the first selected column. I know this is a built-in feature of ALV grid, is there a parameter I'm missing when I build the grid?
Thanks a lot,

Hi,
I think there is no prob with ALV, U follow steps as:
click on alv Set filter button.
then transfer column names to filter field list,
on same screen filter button is there click it,
now it will ask for both filter criteria.
I am sure it will do, Award if it helps

Display and filter custom columns in a presentation

I haven't found anything in the documentation, so I post this question and hope to get an answer:
In ALBPM 6 is it possible
A) to display custom columns in a presentation, and
B) to filter using these custom columns in a view?
I am thinking of having several views enabling to display process instances by certain filter criteria: builtin but also custom criteria.
Thanks a lot!
Bernd

Oh oh. I have just found documentation:
What are Project Variables?
Project variables are a special kind of instance variable which has more visibility than a normal instance variable. Project variable values can be searched for, and can be displayed in AquaLogic BPM WorkSpace views.
So I will go and test this.

How to filter with multiple selection on a single column on external list, currently only one filter per column is available.

I have external list where i want to apply multiple filter for every column like we do in Excel spreadsheet - we can filter a spreadsheet column by selecting multiple checkbox for every column. I am using Sharepoint 2010
Is this possible in sharepoint 2010? Any idea how to acheive that?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Rahul,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to use filter with multiple values on a column of an external list in SharePoint 2010.
Per my knowledge, there is not an OOB way to achieve it. As a workaround, you can custom the web part to implement it. There is an articles for your reference:
http://blogs.telerik.com/aspnet-ajax/posts/13-11-05/add-excel-like-multi-select-filtering-to-your-asp.net-datagrid
In addition, you can use a third party solution to achieve it, please take a look at:

Report filter and column formula filter help

Using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.8
I have a column formula in an OBIEE Analysis that queries data based on a specific File Date: 31-Oct-2013. the formula looks like this: SUM(CASE WHEN "CLOV - File Date"."File Date" = '31-OCT-2013' AND "Pending Claim - Process Time"."Claim Date" <= TIMESTAMP '2013-01-31 00:00:00' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
The issue is I have other columns that need to query data as of the most recent File Date available. For that, I usually use this in the report filter section: SELECT MAX("CLOV - File Date"."File Date") FROM "VETSNET OPERATIONS REPORTS". this will pull the most recent date available.
What formula(s) do I need to use so I can have other columns pull the most recent data while the other column always uses the 31-Oct-2013 date?

If you like to port the same logic in Analysis then that might be easy to do.
Not sure how to handle other column ie Claim without looking data, but try with a new metric max(File Date) and set the content level may be Year or as per requirement and use that column in the same expression

How to filter lookup column in sharepoint 2010

Hi,
I have three list, Designation, Employee & Client respectively. Designation have one column as Designation having values like director,hr,etc. The designation column is lookup in employee list in which other columns are empName, empAddress
etc. Now in my client list there is Client name field & another fields are director & hr. So now i wanted to filter all those employees having designation director & hr from employee list to my client list's director & hr field respectively.
so how can i achieve this?

Take a look at this codeplex project:

Or via this way (SharePoint Designer - Datasource:

How can I filter a column based on data in another list.

I have two lists:
List A:
Business Unit | BU Services
BU1 | Service 1
BU1 | Service 2
BU1 | Service 3
BU2 | Service 4
BU2 | Service 5
BU3 | Service 6
BU3 | Service 7
List B:
Sales Rep | Business Unit | Service
Jonny Cash | BU3 | Service 7
Kitty Wells | BU3 | Service 6
Willie Nelson | BU2 | Service 5
etc
List A is a reference list. I.e. it associates services with a business unit.
List B is a record of activities. It records what each sales rep sold. Sales reps can sell services from any business unit.
Using a drop down list to select the business unit, the service column should only display services that are related to a business unit. I.e. If BU3 is selected, then only Service 6 and Service 7 should be available.
How can this be achieved in SharePoint? It looks like something that it could easily do, however I can't get a lookup to work across lists, and I'm not sure a calculated column will do the job either.
Any ideas?

Hi Cameron,
The first list (or table) is used for associations. I'm associating services with a business unit. This would work the same way with an example I found, regarding countries and states:
i.e.
Country | State
USA | Nebraska
USA | New York
Canada | Alberta
Canada | Manitoba
Russia | Crimea
Russia | Chechnya
Australia | New South Wales
etc
Then in the second list or table I could specific team members and their location:
Team Member | Country | State
Russell Crow | Australia | New South Wales
Clive Owen | USA | New York
In the 2nd table, I would select the country from a drop down (or by type ahead), and then the state column would restrict choices to states for the particular country as define in the first list, i.e. USA would show states like: Nebraska and New York, but
not Alberta or New South Wales because they belong to other countries.
I have a feeling that SharePoint can't do this, despite having the basic foundation for it. I'm not a MS developer, I'm a business user trying to put a basic app together for my boss.
