Verification Text on Date Prompts

Need to verify that text on date prompts can be eliminated (please enter instruction prompt)
Thanks,
Rick

Hi Rick,
Can you please elaborate your requirement?
As far as I understand, you would like to delete as mentioned over the prompt at the time of creation.
Please confirm.

Set default values in date prompt

Hello,
I have tried everything I can find in the forum to resolve a very daunting task. Thanks in advance for all your help.
We have Crystal Server 2008 with Tomcat and IIS.
I have several reports that use start date and end date as parameters. When the user launches the report date prompt dialog box appears where you user can input the values. Typically (75% ) the user is always looking for yesterday's data however at times he/she would want to pick different date range to review the results. The requirement is to set the default values in the dialogbox to be currentdate-1. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Paul.

What we do for all of our reports is have the date parameters be text fields that allow something like PD for prior day, PM for prior month, CM for current month, YTD for year to date, etc. We then have crystal functions (and database functions; one for start dates and one for end dates) that translates the characters to real dates. If the text entered does not match one of the "mnemonics", it is assumed to be a date, and it is treated as such. This allows using the same report for scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc. and ad-hoc runs without any other special coding. In your case, you'd set the default parameter values to PD.
Our mnemonics are of the form [PY]{P|C}{D|W|M|Q|Y}[DOW][{+|-}n], where [PY] is optional to specify a prior year date (for comparison reports), P=Prior, C=Current, D=Day, W=Week, M=Month, Q-Quarter, Y=Year, [DOW] is optional, and used with [PY] to specify that you are looking for the same day of week in the prior year (if CD=8/24/09, PYCDDOW=8/25/08), and the +n or -n allows you to add or subtract days/weeks/months/quarters/years (depending on the interval used) to the date.

Calendar date prompts

I am on 11.1.1.5. I am creating two calendar date prompts begin date and end date for an analysis. I want to be able to generate some kind error message or warning if the user tries to enter a date smaller than begin date in end date prompt. How can I do this?

@Amith, no the link would not accurately satisfy the OP's need. What if the user chooses a valid date (i.e., in the allowable date range), but the report produces no records? The customized "No Results" message, would say, "Please choose a valid date value" and would be incorrect.

How can I do this?@user12301184, what you need to do is this:
1) Create a small report that returns rows if the dates selected in the dashboard prompts are in the valid range, and does not return rows if the dates chosen are outside the range.
2) In the dashboard, move a Section to the workspace and put your main report there. Click on Section>Properties>Guided Navigation and have OBIEE point to the small report created in step 1 with the radio button "Display when report returns rows" checked off.
3) Move another Section to the workspace and put a Text object in the Section. Click Section>Properties>Guided Navigation and point to the same report, but this time choose "Dispay if the report returns no rows."
4) Now in the Text object, put your customized message, "Please choose a valid date range."
5) Finally, in the report itself, you can customize your "No Results" view to say, "There are no records to display for the date range selected."
To summarize, according to the OP's criteria, there are two reasons why the report wouldn't show rows: one, specifically because of the invalid date range; and two -- not explicitly stated, but true nonetheless -- when the report itself produces no rows even though the date range is valid.
My solution takes into account both scenarios. It doesn't give a potential wrong error message like so many applications do when the scenarios are not thought out completely.

Most of those Walmart plans are prepaid, usually don't have the same coverage as postpaid, even from the same carrier, and can come with hidden fees. Not to say they are always a bad deal, but I would make sure you know exactly what you are getting.
Yep none of that will be 4G. Not on any phones that use Verizon's network. Only the Galaxy S 2 on Straight Talk will use "4G" on at&t's network and it's not even LTE is HSPA+. Also the fine print of the "unlimited" data says after 2 GB Straight Talk can throttle you down to 2G speeds and if you continue to use more than 2 GB a month they can cut off your service forever.

How to get date prompts from one date column

i have a requirement where i have to filter the data between two date prompts. i have only one date column and the date in the prompts shuld be selected by calendar.
i have seen may approaches to do this and i got one where two dummy date columns should be declared in repository and used to define the date prompts.
but using other methods i could not get the calendar option in prompt.
but is there any other way to get the prompts with calndar selection without defining the dummy columns in repository
thanks

you can do that first select the date column you want to use in dashboard prompt then select another column and in the dashboard prompts then open the fx of the date prompt you first selected copy that and paste it in the second column and in the control section click on calender it will work you can use same date column as two prompts with out creating new column.

How to handle date prompt in report

thanks,

Hi User,
Which versionof obiee are you in? If you are on 10.1.3.4.1 version, apply PATCH 9492821 to fix this issue.
Can you do the following checks,
In the repository physical layer, set the column to have a data type of date
In the BMM layer, where the column is mapped, edit the column mapping to contain a CAST function to cast as date

Crystal Report Date Prompt Query from SAP BW

Dear Support,
Using Crystal Report 2008 and Query is design In SAP BW
Date Prompt is made mandatory in Query at Query Designer.
Problem: Requirent is that Date promt shoud take value currentdate-1
when report is excuted first date prompt will show in that prompt value should have today date - 1 which is yesterday date.
how to pass formula to date prompt?
Thanks

If the prompt value should always be CurrentDate -1, then there is no need to use a prompt at all. Just put the formula to the selection criteria.
If you want the prompt to default to CurrentDate -1, while allowing the user to change the prompt to another date if they wish... That won't work. CR won't allow you to use a formula as the default value in a prompt.
If there is a BO Universe between you and the tables... IE, you're building against the universe, you'll need to get with the universe designer and have them make an alternate field available that has the formula hard coded in the SQL as opposed prompting.
HTH,
Jason

A Date prompt defaulting the data in Report based on selection

Gurus,
I have a requirement , where i have a (in between) date prompt set in the dashboard current defulting to Start Month date and End Month date of current month.
What the user want is based on the selection using a drop down in dashboard which has got values Last Day, Last week, Last Month , the default values in Date filter should change in dashboard.
For Eg. If the user select Last Week, the in between date filter show the default date value as Last Week Mon and Last Sun, and should filter out the report based on that.
Any idea's are welcome....
Thanks & Regards
-Saurabh

Try to see if you can get user to agree on something easier.
Here are the steps to achieve what you want.
1. Create a prompt for 1 day, 2 week, and 3 month
2. Create three separate reports based on above selection, which has page prompt for day/week/month respectively.
3. Create GN based on step in 1 and then let UI change between three reports you created in step 2
I hope this helps,
Best luck

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?

Hi,
I am a new user of Crystal Reports 2008.
I have created a report with charts in it. The input data comes from a csv text file.
Can I set the name of this text file as an input parameter?
as I need to generate 44 similar reports with different text filenames(and data)?
Thank you.
Regards

Brian,
Thanks much.
I did exactly what you said.
Just to see any change, I first gave a bad report file name just to see if I am accidentally pointing to a different file,
but I got an error saying report not found.
Then I renamed my original datafile name and generated a report and it still generated one without giving an error.
Then I also gave a junk name to the logoninfo and printed that name, the new name was assigned to logoninfo, but the code did not error out.
It ended up generating the report.
Now here is what I think is happening,
1) The save data in report option seems to be still on even though I have turned it off in 2 locations
a) file -> Report Options
b) file -> Options -> Reporting tab.
2) For some reason the logoninfo is getting ignored as well.
Since I did not see any answers yesterday I posted a link to this thread on the .Net forum
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#
and Ludek Uher says that I am connecting to the text file via a DAO database engine and so need to use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database.
But the link he gave me tells me to try the same thing that we have been trying..
Here is my plan,
1) I will first try and find out why my save data with report option is still on ( but it shows off in Crystal ).
2) why is LogonInfo getting ignored.
Meanwhile any suggestions from anyone are welcome.

Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input param? C#

Hi,
I am new to the forums and posted a question which belonged to the .net - SAP Crystal reports group.
Can someone help me with my problem? following is the thread that I have started.
Crystal Report with text(csv) data file, can we set it as input parameter?
Thank you in advance.

Looking at the original thread, you are connecting to the text file via the DAO database engine:
"I added the text file as follow, new connection -> Access/Excell (DAO) -> select the file and the database type as text"
Thus I would use the same code for changing the text file as for changing an Access database. See Kbase [1218178 - Error: "Logon failed" when connecting to Access database in .NET application|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/oss_notes_boj/sdn_oss_boj_bi/sap(bD1lbiZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/scn_bosap/notes%7B6163636573733d36393736354636443646363436353344333933393338323636393736354637333631373036453646373436353733354636453735364436323635373233443330333033303331333233313338333133373338%7D.do] for more information. If that does not work, you may want to consider connecting via ODBC or feeding the data from the text file to and ADO .NET dataset and pointing the report at the dataset.

Display date prompt in crystal report output

Hi There,
In my report output the values entered in date prompt(range) is not displayed.
I've prompt that is created on document created on field. The properties of prompt are
Posting date...... date.........static values
value field : ERDAT.....
value options:
optional prompt: false
allow custom values: true
allow multiple values : false
allow discrete values: false
allow range values: true

Hi Raj,
I believe you're trying to display the start date and the end date of the date range parameter.
Create a formula called 'start':
Minimum(?Postingdate) //This formula extracts the start date from the date parameter
Similarly, create another formula called 'end':
Maximum(?Postingdate) //This extracts the end date
Place these formulae on the desired report section.
P.S: You may even do this in a single formula.
Hope this helps!

Date Prompt in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0

Good Afternoon, hope you all are well.
We have the following issue in our production environment.
Our Exact Date prompt is causing our reports to error, the reason being is that the relevant Fact table to the prompt has no data.
Is there a piece of SQL we can add to the prompt to say if it cannot find any data to that specific date then use SYSDATE?
Regards
Rayno Matthee

Thats not giving correct value. the Amount filter is also considering the date filters.
