Bug: Prompt on Union Report

Hi
I am using siebel analytics. there seems to be a bug with the dashboard prompt. I have YEAR and MONTHS_BETWEEN prompt, it works with individual report but when used with union report it doesnt work as required. Is this a documented bug or am I going wrong somewhere?

Hi,
It not a bug, you have 'declare/set' them in each filter of each request, not on the 'covering' statement.

Hi,
you said about writing query in DB.......whether U meant of trying checking the query in toad..or something else..........
Since im giving only one join from dim to fact in the physical diagram........
But more than one join exist between those dim and fact, but im giving only one join mainly the primary key column of the dimension table to the fact table....Whether i need to give all the joins that exist(even if it has 2 or 3 joins between those fact and dim) tables....
If i give count distinct means it is giving count for every nation as 1....like i mentioned below
NATIONALITY<----------------------------------------------------->NATION COUNT
INDIA---------------------------------------------------------------------1
AUS------------------------------------------------------------------------1
CAN------------------------------------------------------------------------1
Since you said to check about depts of the particular column....i couldn't able to understand about "depts" that you meant????
Whether i made any logical mistake...........
thanks,
Harry...

Or between prompted columns in report filter

Hi,
If I give an 'Or' between two prompts in the report filter, as below:-
Value Date is prompted
OR Trade Date is prompted
... then the condition does not apply on the report.
I am using dashboard prompts
OBI version is 10.1.3.4.1
Is there a way around this?
thanks,
Gaurav

Hi,
If I hard code in the report filter and use or between the conditions then it works fine.
The prompted filters are not working with 'Or' in between.
It looks like a bug. Can something be done about it?
Using a presenation variable should work, but it will have some other limitations.
thanks,
Gaurav

Can we apply saved filters to union reports in obiee 11g?

Hi All
Can we apply saved filters to union reports in obiee 11g?
I am able to apply saved filters for normal reports but not for union reports.
The catalog pane is blank, when i click on result columns or each criteria.
The only option i see is to manually create the filters for each criteria, dont i have any choice to use a saved filter for union report?
Is this a bug or something i am unaware of , Please guide me.
Regards
Pranati

I get the same issue. I thought that it's a problem in a security - the catalog pane is clear in a union report. But saved filters work in 11g. I migrated catalog from 10g to 11g and I see saved filters in the conditions. But you may add saved filters directly into xml. Go on Tab Advanced and edit Analysis XML. You have to add code like this
<sawx:expr xsi:type="sawx:savedFilter" path="/shared/FOLDER/_filters/FOLDER/FILTER_NAME" name="FILTER_NAME"/> in a right place.

Windows prompting send error report or dont send

when am using labview application windows prompting send error report or dont send can some one help in this..I did all re installation and windows update but no use..

You will need to provide more details as we cannot see your computer screen. Does this happen every time you launch LabVIEW? What version of LabVIEW are you using? What version of Windows? Does LabVIEW crash? If so, what were you doing at the time it crashed?

How to setup the drill down on union report

Hi,
I'm setting the union report.
I want to set the drill down to another report.
But I can't setup it.
Would you please tell me how to setup.
Thank you.

Hi Hemlatha
In Crystal Reports, to prevent the ability to drill down into a subreport when published on the Web, add a text object that is filled with blank spaces, created by pressing the 'Space Bar' and 'Enter' for line returns, to eclipse the subreport.
This workaround is applicable only to subreports that does not grow in size. For example, subreports that display only a chart or graph.
Steps to Add a Text Object over a Subreport
1. In the Crystal Reports Designer of the main report, insert a text object over the subreport.
2. Resize the text object to be the same size or a little larger than the subreport object on the main report.
3. Fill the text object with blank spaces created by pressing the 'Space Bar' and 'Enter'. This is necessary because resizing a text object without
the blank spaces will not maintain its size when it has been published on the Web.
====================
NOTE:
You can format the text object with a hyperlink to another report, another file or a URL.
====================
Now, when the Crystal report is previewed on the Web, the text object that fully eclipses the subreport will prevent the ability to drill down into it.

Ok if i get your question right: you want to create a date dimension in webi as a variable and use it as a prompt is it ? then NO. ur date dimension from example has to come as a universe object. bcos prompt is always at the query panel level and variables created at he report level are not visdible here.

Display In Between Prompts Value in Report Title

Hi All,
I want to show the in between dashboard prompt value in Report.
So that when user download the report he will come to know the date range.
I have gone through the couple of links but it does not work.
I tries the below one but when ever i am selected the to_date it reset the from date also.
http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/03/obiee-between-dates-prompt.html
Thanks
Nawneet

I would add one thing to Saichand's solution which I use for the situation you describe. If you create two dashboard prompts one for the "from" date and the other for the "to" date and then modify your filter on the date column to be:
datecolumn >= @{From_Date} AND datecolumn <= @{To_Date}
...then you just need to add two more columns to your report to house the presentation variables. Make these columns the first two so that in your Narrative View you can reference them as "Between @1 and @2"
You don't need another report to place on top of your current one, just add the Narrative View to your existing report.

How to supress zero values in a union report in obiee11g?

I have a union report using two subject areas in obiee 11g.
I have added the price column from the first sector area and dummy column from the second sector area.
I have added the parity column from the second sector area and dummy column from the first sector area.
Then i added result column to divide them.
I need to calculate the avarage for each column, but because of the dummy columns that return zero, the calculation is wrong.

Filtering union report

Hi,
I've built a union report with 2 criteria.
1st Criteria : Contact Relationship Subject Area
Contact ID | '' | Related Contact Relationship | Related Contact ID
Filter 1 : Contact ID belonging to user(filtered using a separate report)
Filter 2 : Related Contact ID belonging to user(filtered using a separate report)
2nd Criteria : Contact Subject Area
Contact ID | Contact State | '' | ''
Joined using Union Set.
I created a pivot table to get the Contact State for each Contact ID.
Problem im facing is that for each Contact ID there is a blank row. How do I remove this row?
Also the results I get show me all the Related Contacts even those not belonging to the user.
If I filter the 2nd Criteria Column Contact ID to show the records only belonging to the user, then i get results showing all the Related Contact IDs including those not belonging to the user however the rows which do not belong to the user show up as blank.
How can i remove the blank rows of data?
Thank you so much for any advice.

Check this link Re: How to add columns from different table(subject area)
The discussion in the above thread will help to resolve your issue of removing those blank cells
