BW 3.5: Filter Characteristic based on another Characteristic

Hi guys, I need your help.
I have created one query. In this query, there is 2 characteristic in filter condition. The first one is Consolidation Group (single variable and input come from user) and the second is partner unit (hardcode/ constant : A500, A700, A710, A720, A730, A740). The problem is user want dynamic filter condition for Partner Unit.
So I need to change the filter condition for this characteristic.User want this condition happen:
- If user input Consolidation Group = '10000' then partner unit will be filtered by : 'A500', 'A700'
- If user input Consolidation Group = '10130' then partner unit will be filtered by : 'A710','A720'
- If user input Consolidation Group = '10140' then partner unit will be filtered by : 'A730','A740'
When user want this condition happen, I think I must use hierarchy because there is possibility to add another partner unit in consolidation group (example: If user add partner unit 'A800' in consolidation group '10000' (in SAP system) then partner unit will be filtered automatically with 'A500', 'A700', and 'A800').
My question is:
1. Where do I need to create hierarchy? On characteristic Consolidation Group or Partner Unit?Because both infoobject don't have any hierarchy at all
2. How to create dynamic hierarchy filter condition? Because in this problem, static hierarchy filter condition can't solve the problem. What i mean dynamic in here is when user input consolidation group 10000 then Partner Unit will be restricted to node Cons Group 10000 and so on...
Thank you and Regards,
Satria

Filter column based on another column - OBIEE 11g

Hi, I have kind of a strange requirement. I'm trying to build a dashboard that lets a user see data for the current day, last week, last month, or last year. I'm going to create a presentation variable called "date_range" where the user can choose one of those 4 options.
Based on this, I've defined a column in answers with the following formula:
cast
case
when 1 = 0 then "Query Time"."Date"
when @{date_range}{'Day'} = 'Day' then Current_Date
when @{date_range}{'Week'} = 'Week' then TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -7, CURRENT_DATE)
when @{date_range}{'Day'} = 'Month' then TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -30, CURRENT_DATE)
when @{date_range}{'Day'} = 'Year' then TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -365, CURRENT_DATE)
else TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -10000, CURRENT_DATE)
end as DATE
Based on the 4 presentation variable, this should give the proper "start date" of when to pull data.
Now I've added the actual date column from the date dimension. But I need to put a filter on the date dimension date column that says it's greater than or equal to the calculated column above. How do I do that?
Thanks,
Scott

I always expect what you're expecting, but you can't filter a column on another column. The solution is just to write one formula that returns a literal, so it will be
case when (your date column) >= (your long formula) then 'Y' else 'N' end
Then filter that column on 'Y'.

Powerpivot filter query based on another table's visible results?

Excel 2010 x32 on Win 7 x64
I have multiple tables coming into Powerpivot via SQL connection. They have some relationships pre-defined from the source.
I need to reduce the amount of data I'm bringing in for my testing. One of the tables has great granularity, containing every event in the database. One field in this data is "Event Type".
A separate table has a short list of the event types of interest.
I'd like to filter the first table's data pull (SQL refresh) to only include the event types that are listed (and visible) in the second table, in addition to an existing date range filter that is already in place. Ultimately my goal is to widen
the date range I can pull in before hitting Excel's memory limits, by eliminating the events I don't care about.
Currently I'm using a SQL query to pull in the granular data;
SELECT
[Fact RawData].*
FROM
[Fact RawData]
WHERE
[Fact RawData].[Event Date] >= N'2014-06-01T00:00:00'
How would I adjust this to also say "only where [Fact RawData].[Event Type] IN {a column in a data pull that is already in powerpivot}"
and how will that work under a "refresh all" scenario, where I would need the event table to update before this SQL is executed each time?
Many thanks!

If I understand correctly, these articles indicate that I can apply filters during
data import, but I'm not clear how rows can be filtered during import based on
another powerpivot table results. <o:p></o:p>
From the first link:<o:p></o:p>
"For data feeds, you can only change the columns that are imported. You can’t filter
rows by values unless the source of the data feed is a report, and the report
is parameterized."<o:p></o:p>
So I guess the clarification of my original question is: How do I create a parameterized
report, based on the data in another powerpivot table, and also ensure that the
parameterized report is executed /after/ the source powerpivot table is
refreshed so that the proper row filtering is applied?<o:p></o:p>
Simplified example:<o:p></o:p>
Table 1 = List of all physicians who have ever had a patient in a large hospital system.
Filter when bringing results into powerpivot limits results to physicians from
a target physician group, clinical specialty, or other filter based on reporting needs. <o:p></o:p>
Table 2 = anonymized records for all patients, physician listed in each record. Filtered
by time period when bringing into powerpivot.<o:p></o:p>
I could bring back the whole patient table, but it is so large that Excel runs out of
resources unless my time period is tiny. If I can limit the returned rows from
Table 2 based on the current list of physicians shown in Table 1, then I will
have a much smaller data set and can expand the time period filter to be more
meaningful and make sure all the target records are brought back, without
having to run multiple subsets of physicians or time, and still have to
merge/remove duplicate records.<o:p></o:p>
Thank you for any advice/URLs/etc.<o:p></o:p>

How to load one filter values based on another filter selection

Hi,
I have a Query/Report that contains the following filters
Product Family
Product Line
Product
all the above InfoObjects are independent, now i need a functionality where in if i select a Product Family then all the Product Line belonging to that Product Family should get loaded in the filter selection, same way when a Product Line is selected the all the Products under that Product Line should get loaded ni Products filter.
Please let me know how this functionality can be achived.
Thanks
Akila. R

Hi Akila,
I am assuming you query runs on a cube that loads data from the source system. In that case cube will contain only valid cobminations of Product Family & Product Line.
In order to make sure that if a cetain Product Family is chosen you want to see only the relevant Product Line as available in the cube do the following:
Go to Query Designer Filter
Pick Product Family > Properties> Advanced. Under the Tab Filter Value Selection during Query Execution choose 'Only Values in InfoProvider'
Do the same setting for Product Line as well.
Hope this helps.

Amrita

Query field calculation based on a characteristic field

Hi
I have a req wherein the query has a field "Balance". Now here the value of the Balance field is calculated based on another characteristic "0bal_flag". 0bal_flag has values "X" or blank. The 0bal_flag is actually a attr of 0gl_account and i have it as a nav attr in my cube.
The calculation goes like this....
If 0bal_flag = 'X' then "Balance" = balance (there is a balance field in underlying infoprovider)
else "Balance" = Debit -credit (these fields are also there in underlying infoprovider....)
So how do i achieve this...?
Since 0bal_flag is a char I cannot use it directly in a formula....
Thanks
Gaurav

Hi Gaurav,
Create a replacement path formula variable on the 0bal_flag with evaluate as boolean checked, you will get the values 1 when flag is X and 0 when the flag is initial, now you can use this 'formula variable' in the formula
((0bal_flag==1)balance)+((0bal_flag==0)(debit-credit))
hope this helps,
Rk.

How to Fill list in excel based on another columns cell value

Hello,
I am facing issue while binding data to list i want to bind list or filter list based on another columns cell value

If your list is a series of rows with column headers like the following:
Column A
Column B
1
Apple
1
Banana
1
Orange
2
Pineapple
2
Cucumber
2
Watermelon
Then you can do this will Excel's built in filter functions. If you select the entire data table and then go to "DATA" then click the "FILTER" button a drop down will appear next to both headers (Column A and Column B in this case). You
can then select the data you would like filtered from either column and Excel will hide that entire row.
If this is not what you are looking for please post some examples of what you are trying to see.

Filter based on another analysis need to run as a seperate query obiee 11g

Hi,
I have a main report which has a filter condition that depends on the another request(Created through Filter based on another analysis).The Filter based on another analysis report query comes as a embedded query along with the main query (making a subquery).As it has a subquery it is taking more time to fetch data.
Is there any possiblity of running the Filter based on another analysis report as a seperate query.
Please suggest.
Thanks,
Soukath

Filter EPM Property values based on another property in same dimension

Hi,
I need to restrict property values of a Dimension based on selected value of another property of the same dimension.
For example, in Material Dimension, I have properties Planner and LOB
Material
Planner
LOB
100
ABC
LOB1
200
ABC
LOB1
300
XYZ
LOB2
The Planner will select a Planner Name, based on which the corresponding list of materials should be shown along with LOB.
I have tried EPMDimensionPropertyValues but it doesnt allow to restrict the IDs based on another filter condition.
Please help.

Thanks everyone for the response.
As mentioned in the post, the requirement is a bit twisted.
Let me rephrase the requirement:
I need to have two dropdowns ( which should act as filters to the template).
MATERIAL diemnsion has a property PLANNER.
I need to have the first drop down as list of all PLANNERS ( I could do this easily by EPMDimensionPropertyValues).
For the next dropdown, I need to show only those MATERIALS which has PLANNER1 ( lets say, PLANNER1 was selected in the first dropdown).
I am facing issues for the second dropdown, as I cannot have a condition to show the Property (ID) values in EPMDimensionPropertyValues
Also note that MATERIAL is not present in the report ( this is because we need a different aggreagation for material in the report) so we cannot use EPMDiemnsionOverride.
Please help.

In my report I have column a thru d. I would like to create a filter based on another column where column A == Column B. I can enter in a value that the column cannot equal to, but I would like to use a column instead of a value.
Thanks.
JonathanCan't you use a case statement in the column formula? Something like below should work if I understand your question correctly:
CASE WHEN "Table"."Column Lvl1 Code" = "Table"."ColumnLvl2 Code" THEN 1 ELSE 0 END

Default value of prompt based on another request

Hello:
I have a requirement where I need to set default values of prompts based on another request.
The prompt is a Date Prompt.
I tried it using presentation variable, and writing sql query, where is says " WHERE promo_id= @{variable}"
but it is still not working.
Please let me know the workaround for this issue.
Thank you.

How is the End Date determined for your BETWEEN operator? I would assume that is variable. Also, is the second report on another dashboard page or on the same page? Assuming both reports are on the same page, do the below. If not, you can use the same prompts on the second dashboard page. Set the scope to "dashboard" and the selection the user makes carries to the second page.
The easiest way is to have 3 Dashboard prompts: Promo_ID, Start_Dt, and End_Date. Set these prompts to PVs: pvPromoID, pvStartDate, and pvEndDate, respectively.
Filter report one on pvPromoID and pvStartDate.
Filter the second report on pvPromoID and use pvStartDate in the filter of the Date column of report two. Assuming the BETWEEN values are variable, then you can write the following on the Date column of your second report:
"Table Name"."Date ColumnName" <= '@{pvStartDate}' AND Table name"."Date Column Name" <='{EndDate}'
And on your Promo column, use the filter "Table Name".Promo = '@{pvPromoID}'
When the user selects the Promo ID, Start Date and End Date from the prompts, both the first and second reports will be filtered accordingly.

How to plan in characteristic based forecast in BOM level

Hi experts,
How to plan in characteristic based forecast in BOM level
Can explain me elaborate about this.

Hi Harsh,
Remember that the tree table is a Master-Detail relationship between VO. So in your case, you are applying a VO Criteria to your Master, wich will allow you to filter data a Master Level. If you want to filter the Child VO, you need to create a ViewCriteria for it and apply it in your AM -> YourMaster -> YourChild VO :: Edit -> Shuttle the VC to the right.
But following this approach the Filter you use in the ChildVO, will be applied to all Childs independently of the MasterVO.
Hope it is clearer now, but let me know if you need more help or if you think I didn't understand your main issue.

Is it possible to schedule a Webi report based on another input, i.e. expose a time in which a process was finished.

These are Webi, user created reports.
Is it possible to schedule a Webi report based on another input, i.e. expose a time in which a process was finished (this can be obtained via a SQL call, service call, etc).
The issue is that if a user schedules a report for 9PM but a process to move data, etc has not completed then that forces the user to keep re-freshing the report hoping that the process has been complete.
Ideally, in the selection UI add to the dropdown for 'when' the option 'Use Process X completion Time' (since it is a daily report).
Then starting around 9PM check to see if that 'time" value is populated then refresh (run) the report. Or it could just be a flag that the process has finished.
User's in the webi environment are asking for this, and moving their reprots to BO is not an option. That's why they have the custom webi enviroment.
Thank you.

There is no very good way to create a working event based on a file as the file will need to be deleted as soon as the event is triggered. However there are work around which can be done for this. Here is a link which is discussing about the process.. http://scn.sap.com/thread/1677109
Once you have created a file based even in CMC > Events> System Events and made a work around program to delete the file once the event is trigged all you would need to do in webi is in launchpad just schedule > Events > select the file based event from all available system events. Here is a screenshot how to make a report run based on a event..
