Conditional Formatting - to display text instead of Image

Hi,
We have a requirement in a BI Finance Report wherein for an amount if it is NULL or 0 it needs to show '-' symbol.
Initially we placed a image in the Conditional Format Properties similar to that symbol, but it doesnt satisfy the requirement.
There are 35 metrics in 3 BI Reports each where we need to do this change. If we write a CASE statement, that will run for 30mins which will be a bad performance issue. So can we display a text instead of an Image using Conditional Formatting or any other way.
P.S. In one of the report, we have Union joins, so we cannot write a CASE statment for each metric in every report.
Please give your inputs.
Thanks in Advance

Hi,
use ELEMENT_TYPE_N = VARIABLE_KEY in the List of text elements

Selection options for field display text instead of key

Hi All,
In the selection screen in my reports, when the user clicks on the selection options for one the fields to display the possible values they can use. Instead of the key the pop up box only displays the text for that field. This is an issue because one of the fields is equipment number and the user needs to be able to see the key not the descriptions. This is occurring in multiple reports and for multiple fields. I haven't been able to find anything in the infoobject properties or the query properties to change this.
Please help!

Display SWFs instead of images?

Hi all,
I built some dynamic pages using ADDT, and on some of the pages, the customer wants .swf files to display instead of an image. I added a field in my mysql database that holds the path to the flash files (for example...."flash/file-1.swf"), and then I tried to put a "placeholder" and bind the field from the recordset I created. However, this didnt work.
Is there a way to pull and place an swf onto a dynamic page like this? What am I doing wrong?
Any help is appreciated
John

Hi Shane,
I didnt think it would be hard to do either, and maybe its just because I am juggling 5 other projects that I dont have the focus right now and its making this more difficult.
Ok, I can post code but Ill tell you what I did. I created several flash files for each page (i.e. 1.swf, 2.swf, 3.swf, etc) and then in my MySQL database, I added a field to hold the path to those files for each page.
In my page I created a filtered recordset. I place in the swf file where i wanted it and then went to the file field (this is in Dreamweaver) then opened the dialog box. Then I hit "Data Sources" and selected the correct field from my recordset that holds the path in the db.
When I got to test the page, nothing comes up where the swf should be. When I look at the code, it is correctly bringing up the source from the database, its just not showing the file.
Any ideas?

Firefox 11 beta is having issues loading Flash and HTML content, shows plain text instead of images

I'm not sure what is causing the problem but it has been happening since beta 10 and now its also in beta 11. Randomly when I load any web page the page is displayed in plain text leaving all the HTML or flash content blank. Yes I have the most recent version of flash installed along with Java just in case it was looking for that mess as well. Sometimes the pages load fine, and sometimes they don't, it's like playing lotto with the internet. The only fix I know of is to either keep refreshing the page and "hope" it catches it on the reload, or closing Firefox and running CCleaner. Some times FF will load some of the visual data and leave gaps but usually its just basic text mode. I'm at a loss as to whether the problem is from Firefox or my ISP being a douche, either way its annoying that Firefox is not showing internet pages like it used to.
Hate to see it happening but it looks like Firefox is on its way to being just another Internet Explorer clone (failure). Should have stayed with your original team, all the new folks you have hired are really mucking up the whole project and its goal of a free and open internet. Not to mention writing bad code and costing you money and more importantly the user base.
(Update, now it's not doing it go figure, but I'm sure it will do it again at some point, perhaps its not Firefox and something else, I'll keep my eye on it and try to report any findings)

If you use extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extension) like Adblock Plus or NoScript or Flash Block that can block content then make sure that such extensions aren't blocking content.
Start Firefox in [[Safe Mode]] to check if one of the extensions or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox (Tools) > Add-ons > Appearance/Themes).
*Don't make any changes on the Safe mode start window.

Graphic/Image not displayed with conditional formatting in Report Designer

We are facing problems with displaying an image in a conditional formatting in the Report Designer. The image itself is in the mime repository and can be displayed in the report if no conditional formatting is used. But if it is used the image doesn't appear in the report.
Backend setup: SP 8
Frontend setup: Patch 8, hotfix 2, Revision 95
Any help is highly appreciated.

Hi,
I could not reproduce your problem in internal SP8 system. Also images in rows with conditional formatting are displayed.
Do you get any errors after the execution in the portal?
Try to use exactly the same image in both rows (drag-and-drop with CTRL key pressed).
If then your problem still occurs, open a customer message. Describe your problem in detail and write technical name of the report you used.

Dynamic Text in Flash/Image

Hi All,
I cant find any simple tutorials, can anyone help me and
explain how to very simply, display one variable of text from a
database as flash format (or a type of dynamic image)?
Using CS3, and ColdFusion. I'm playing games with it and
think i'm just name the variable wrong either in a flash file or cf
page. But anyway, any simple method to dynamically display text as
an image will work.... please help.
Thx,
Mike

probably the simplest way will be passing your text to your
flash movie
as the movie url's query string variable (in the
[object]/[embed] html
tags). inside the flash movie set a dynamic text box to
display the
passed variable:
if you google "pass variable to flash" you will see a lot of
examples of
code involved. just make sure your flash movie is large
enough to
display all passed text, and the passed text is url-encoded.

Conditional Formating colors not printed

I have an OBIEE Report that has conditional formating to display results with background colors based on the values like if actuals is greater than goal then display the number in green and if below the goal then red etc. What I am seeing is that when I display the report (Table view) on dashboard on IE6 browser, it shows all the conditional formatting colors on the dashboard but when I do print preview, the colors are lost. When printed, it prints the report without the colors. I developed the reports in IE8 version and when I view and print from IE8 browser, it prints with colors. I feel it might be a bug or incompatibility with IE6 but am not sure about that. Is there any way to resolve this issue. This report will be viewed on IE6 browser and upgrading the company wide browser is not an option.
Environment - Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.4, OS: Windows, Browser - Internet Explorer 6
Thanks in advance

Discoverer conditional formating

Hello,
I am trying to establish if I can campare 2 values at runtime and alter the background colour based on the result i.e. IF A < B THEN bg_color = 'RED'. Do I need to do this through a PL/SQL function as standard conditional formatting seems quite limited.
Thanks for any help.
R David

Hi,
No, you can only add conditional formatting based on the value in the cell. So for example, you can create a calculation CASE WHEN A>B THEN 1 ELSE 0 END. The create conditional formatting setting the text and background to red if the calculated cell is 1. Then you will have a highlighted cell on the row where A>B but the rest of the row will not be highlighted.

Conditional Formating - Place Image above or below text

Hi
In OBIEE 10G I can display any images in conditional formating. But the image placement is reduced to "left", "right", "image only". Does's anybody has any idea how to place the images below or above the text?
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you

User,
If you knew the Cascading Style SHeet (CSS) elements that produced the HTML output placing the image to the left or right then you could modify or format the values using the CSS option of "format values..." from the column's context menu to increase the padding or create a break.
Otherwise there is no way to accomplish this from the basic front-end options.
Cheers,
Christian

Conditional formatting / "Text is" applied to multiple values?

Hello there,
Is there a way of making the "Text is" rule to apply to different values?
Example:
Text is: apples, oranges
Return text color red
I keep asking myself if it's all synthax problem from my side… Should I use commas, apostrophes, etc.?
Thanks!

Mariana,
you can use a shader table and one other table to facilitate grouping words into the the same (or multiple) color(s).
In this image there are three tables. The top left table contains your data. In column A I entered some words.
In the second table (top right, and named "WordList") I entered a single entry for each word and what color I wanted the corresponding shading to be. These are just words which I will match with conditional formatting.
The third table is the "shader" table. In this table I apply the conditional formatting as shown. Once the shader table is complete you can use the menu item "Arrange > Send to Back" then slide the table under the top left table.
The formula you can use in the shader table is (be sure you use the same table names):
A1=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(Data :: A1, WordList :: A:B, 2, 0), "")
now select A1 and fill down as needed.
You can enter words and colors as needed in the "WordList" table

Rich text box used in Infopath Form not displaying option to get images from Computer

Hello,
We have used "Rich text box" in Infopath Form which is not displaying option to get images from Computer.
Options available are : From Address, From SharePoint
But if we Rich text box in list, then it works fine with "From Computer" option.
can you please help me out to get this option.
Thanks in advance.
REgards,
Jayashri

Hi,
From your description, there is no “From Computer” option to get images with rich text box in InfoPath form.
Per my knowledge, by design there are “From Address” and “From SharePoint” options without “From Computer” option in rich text box in InfoPath form. As a workaround, you can develop a custom InfoPath Rich Text box to do it.
About developing a custom InfoPath control, I suggest you create a new thread on the forum “Visual Studio Tools for Office”, more experts will assist you with InfoPath development.

Display Key instead of Text in filter value

Hi Angie,
There is no way to change it by way of system settings...

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix?

My phone displays numbers instead of contact names for incoming calls and text - how do I fix? It used to display the names if there was a contact listed, now it just shows numbers regardless of whether or not the number corresponds to a contact name in the contact list. Can anyone help? I googled this problem and lots of folks have experienced it, however there is not a consensus for a resolution.

Alexandribill, I have been having the exact same issue. I got a new phone and restored my contacts. If the # doesn't have the area code first then the name isn't shown. I just added my husbands area code to my phone and called my phone from his and now his name shows up...Ugh, I have to go through and manually add the area code to all my contacts....
I'd say Verizon needs to rewrite their program to include the area code in the restoring from backup process!

Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name.

Brand new 5s- sometimes phone numbers display when receiving calls and texts instead of contact name. Hard to know who is calling/texting! A few times I've tapped on the text message icon and I can actually watch as the conversations turn from showing just numbers to the contact names. Same thing when looking at call history and voice mail- sometimes it shows numbers and then I'll go back and the contacts will be back. So frustrating!

You don't dial *228 to update the Preferred Roaming List on 4G phones; I"m surprised the call went through. The PRL updates are handled by the SIM card.
Try this and see if it helps: turn off the phone, remove the SIM card, and wait a few minutes. Then re-insert the SIM card, turn the phone back on, and give the phone a few minutes to re-establish a network connection.
