Customer Requirement...

Question

Hi,
i use OBIEE at work, and I have a customer requirement, but i don't know how satisfy it. Now I go to explain my situation.
I've 3 tables:
Entity
ID Description
ORG_GER Country Germany
ORG_ESP Country lberica
ORG_POR Country Portugal
ORG_ESPANA Country Spain
Company
ID Description
002 Spain
004 Portugal
024 Germany
Entity_Relationship
Child Parent Company
ORG_GER ORG_GER 024
ORG_ESPANA ORG_ESP 002
ORG_POR ORG_ESP 004
Entity Relationship table links Entity table to Company Table using Company Field
Now I've 2 dasboard pages. First page has a prompt which retrieves all Entities from Entity table using following query:
SELECT Entity.Description from Prototype
Second page has a prompt which retrieves all Companies from Company table using following query:
SELECT Company.Description from Prototype.
My requirement is:
If i access directly to second page, prompt must show as DEFAULT value any one Company from the table (say the first: Spain, but it can be even Portugal or Germany).
Otherwhise if I access to second page, passing through first page, prompt on second page must show as DEFAULT value any one Company which is child of Entity selected on first prompt.
For example:
If i select on first prompt as Entity: Country Iberica (ID: ORG_ESP), second prompt must show as DEFAULT Value or Spain or Portugal. In fact as you can see on Entity Relationship table Country Iberica (ID: ORG_ESP) has as associated companies 002 and 004 corresponding to Companies Spain and Portugal on table Company.
If i select on first prompt as Entity: Country Germany (ID: ORG_GER), second prompt must show as DEFAULT Value Germany
I've tried to insert in DEFAULT section of my prompt as SQL Results many queries but no one works.
Can you help me?
Thanks

Hi Phani,
not exactly. I want that, IF I ACCESS DIRECTLY TO SECOND DASHBOARD PAGE, second prompt (on second dashboard page) shows as default value any one Company in the table Company (it can be the first, the second, the third. It is not important) . Otherwise, IF I ACCESS ON FIRST PAGE AND SELECT AN ENTITY AND THEN I ACCESS TO SECOND DASHBOARD PAGE, second prompt must show as default value all companies child of entity selected on first prompt. The query that retrieves childs is the following:
select Company."Description" from Prototype where Company."ID" IN (Select Entity_Relationship.Company from Prototype where Entity_Relationship.Parent IN (Select Entity. "ID" from Prototype where Entity.Description ='@{Entity}'))
where @{Entity} is a presentation variable which contains Entity selected by user on first prompt.
However as i said in my previous post a presentation variable in DEFAULT section of a prompt seems not work.
Thanks
