"All Choices" in dashboard prompt

Hello gurus,
How can I rename the "All Choices" in the Dashboard prompt?
Example: change to "All Countries"
Thank you,
Felicity

hello,
write union all select statement to get 'All Countries' in dashboard prompt as explained in above blog.. and assign a presentation variable: var_Country
In filter section of report criteria...
CountryColumn Is Prompted
OR
'@{var_Country}' = 'All Countries'
By doing that your filter section (if you want to show in compound layout), will not look to be cluttered with case when..

Rename "All Choices" in Dashboard Prompts

Hi All,
Is there a way where we can rename the "All Choices" in the dashobard prompt to show some other value in the dashboard.
E.g.
I want to display months in the dashboard prompt and instead of "All Choices" it should display "Jan-Current Month 2009" .i.e "Jan-Sep 2009" if September is the current month.
Please note this is just a renamnig as the value would be the same as it was for "All Choices"
Please let me know if this is possible.
Regards
Bhavik

hi,
I tried this method, but when we prompt the column it does not do the filtering.
Original Report:
Column A Column B Column C
1 Jan -10 A
2 Feb -10 B
3 Jan - 10 C
After the below said solution implemented.
Column B Prompt has
(Jan-Feb-10) : this is what I get instead of 'All Choices' after implementing the sol provided
Jan -10
Feb -10
When the prompt is selected:
Case 1 : By default (Jan-Feb-10) alternative of 'All Choices'
The report remains the same
Column A Column B Column C
1 Jan -10 A
2 Feb -10 B
3 Jan - 10 C
which is correct.
Case 2 : when Jan -10 is selected.
The report becomes
Column A Column B Column C
1 Jan -10 A
2 Jan -10 B
3 Jan - 10 C
Which is wrong as only two rows should come u i.e.
Column A Column B Column C
1 Jan -10 A
3 Jan - 10 C
So Please let me know if we can acheive this.

Bhavik

All choises in Dashboard prompt

Hi All,
I have created an date prompt and in default section i put the repository varibale(which contains the current month).All choises box is uncheked. But still when i go to my dashboard by default i will get all choises in drop down...
any suggestion.
Thanks,

Hi,
If you set Default, then you will be able to see the data set in the default.
Default wont restrict the number of values in the prompt.
If you want to restrict then you need to give SQL or any conditions.
Hope this clarifies your doubt.

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.

XMLP Parameter And BIEE Dashboard Prompt "All Values"

Hi Gurus,
I want to insert a XMLP Report in the BIEE Dashboard and use a Dashboard Prompt as parameter in the Report.
There is a way to use the "All Values" value of the prompt?
I write a XMLP data model as:
select dim_1.Attribute as Dim from BIEESubjectArea where dim_1.Attribute = :Parameter;
Parameter is return by the BIEE Dashboard.
It works for all different value of the Parameter but not if I select the "All Values"
There is a way to make it works?
Regards,
Daniele

Hello Daniele,
When 'All Values' is selected (for Show), it basically displays all values avaliable for the parameter. Are you talking about 'All Choices' option? Selecting 'All Choices' will pass null values and you would have to modify your answers filter to accomodate that.
Take a look at the following: http://108obiee.blogspot.com/2009/04/detecting-all-choices-from-dashboard.html
Hope that helps!

Adding 'All' filter in Obiee 11g dashboard prompt

Hi All,
I am using ver 11.1.1.5
My requirement is to see all data in dashboard prompt as well as there should be another item its 'ALL' which return the all data.
Example:
There is a dashboard filter on a field type (like: Value1,Value2) , our client want to see the data on filter (like: ALL,Value1,Value2) the ALL will filter the boat Value1and Value2.
Please explain with steps.

You have to go with SQL Results in the prompt something like below.
The 2nd statement can be other way so that its return all values..
Make sure that similar you have in report too so that you get all values for ALL
SELECT COL1 FROM "SA"
Union
SELECT CASE WHEN COL1 IS NOT NULL THEN 'ALL' ELSE COL1 END FROM "SA"
instead of not null you may go for like '%'

R15 Presentation Variables - All Choices

I've got a report that I need to run in several R15 dashboards. Because the dashboards use multiple subject areas I'm using a presentation variable. The report has a filter of ColA = @variable. Works when I select a value from the prompt. When I choose "(All Choices)" from the prompt I get no rows returned. Any way of getting all rows back?

Yes it will not work. Since 'All Values' (ie. All choices) is derived in html which is not a existing value of the field.

Urgent- How to Default Current Months First Date in a Dashboard Prompt

We have requirement that whenever our user clicks on a dashboard it should show the report associated with the dashboard defaulted to MTD.
For example if the user is running the dashboard on 16th Jan then the report associated with dashboard by default should show data from 1st Jan to 16 Jan.
And then latter user should be able to select the dates of his choice in dashboard prompt and the report should show data according to selected date.
Please send some clues or work around for this issue.

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:

Dashboard Prompt (All Choices) using Narrative View

Using Narrative View I can display LOVs of Prompt but when the (All Choices) selected, how to display using Narrative View?

In Your criteria Create a column with foruma like the below
CASE WHEN '@{psitename}{All}' = '' THEN 'ALL' else '@{psitename}{All}' end
And now in your narrative of the report, Add @2 if the above column is in second place of criteria. Add this narrative in you compound layout. Hide the column if you dont want show it in table view.
This code works in 3 cases.
1. If variable is null then it shows default value - All
2. If variable is selected to all choices then it shows ALL
3. If you select any site, that shows site name.
let me know if does not work for you..

Multi-Select Prompt default prompt should display 'All Choices'

If a multi-select prompt doesn't have a value, it shows as blank, which
technically means "%" ie. all values. Is it possible to display the text 'All Choices' so that users understand that the reports are based on all values of that blank prompt field.
Please suggest,
Thanks.

If we enter the text 'All Choices' as the default to in the prompt then this value is checked against the other values for this column in the table. Eg: - If we want Name to be the multi-select prompt. There is no match for 'All Choices' in the database table and the report does not return any rows. We need a functionality similar to the one available for drop-down list control. For drop-down control OBIEE by default offers the option 'All Choices' which in the query is used as %. In drop down we can only select one name at a time or All. The user needs to have the flexibility to either select multiple names or select an option All Choices which will return all results.
Any suggestions on this.
Thanks.

You need to add it manually to each page. Or else add this to one page and copy the same layout to other pages using catalog manager.
Best thing is to add manually to each page.

NULL and Unspecified in Dashboard prompts after upgrading 10g to 11g OBIEE

Hi All,
We are working on OBI upgradation project from 10g to 11.1.1.6.5. We are facing one issue in Dashboard prompt level. If we can create Dashboard prompt on a column, its giving "NULL", "Unspecified" additionally. But, in 10g there are no extra values.
And the 10g, 11g instances are pointing to the same database and there are no NULL, Unspecified values in Database level.
Through some blogs and articles we found some solutions n are below.
To remove NULL:
-->Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
-->Go to the Database Features in Physical Layer and disable value to NULL_SUPPORTED.
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results.
To remove Unspecified:
-->Go to Edit Dashboard Prompt, in Choice List Values drop-down list select SQL Results, then write the SQL statements as columnname is not equals to "Unspecfied" ( In this way we can able to remove Null's also.)
-->Go to Content tab of LTS, in Where clause write an SQL query to restrict Unspecified values.
Note: CHeck with ETL, because if they maintains the Default value is Null when the Datatype is Character and they can maintain 9999 or #### if the datatype is Numeric. And check the Physical query and debug it carefully.
But, we have very big Repository and we have huge no.of Dashboard prompts. So, its not an easy thing to manage by using above solutions. Correct me if there are any mistakes in above.
Any ideas on this...?
Appreciate your help on this..!
Thanks in Advance,
Raghu Nagadasari

Hi Frnds,
As of now, i found the only solution for the above mentioned issue that how to avoid NULL in dashboard prompt level:
Go to the Physical Column properties in Physical Layer and Disable the Nullable option by uncheck the box.
We have done this manually for all tables.
Appreciate if u have any other ideas.!!

Hi Rachit
You answered my doubt.This one really works . Thanks a lot !

i.e the scenario is If I have created a new column i.e " Revised Salary " in the Presentation Services and want the values to be entered there dynamically upon end users choice. For ex the end user selecrts value of 1 then the report would display an increament of 500 to all the employees in the " Revised Salary " column and if the end user select value of 2 .. the report would display a decrement of 500 in the " Revised salary column".
I am getting the following error :
========================================================================

Please NOTE : The column on which I want to do an increament is : "F1 Revenue"."1-01 Revenue (Sum All)"

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...
