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..

Problem in displaying multiple column values using Narrative View

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in I need to display column 1 of an Answers report as a header and all values of column 2 below tht.
There are multiple values from column 2 for every value in column 1
Example:
Group:
Grp (This is column 1)
Activity:
Act1
Act2
Act3 (These are values from column 2)
I have used narrative view for this which looks like:
Group: @1
Activity:@2[br/]
But this displays the value of column1 along with every value of column 2. I want column 1 value to be displayed only once.
Thanks in advance

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!

When I try to set a default for viewing all folders using the view options, it fails to apply this view to all folders. What am I doing wrong?

I open the 'view options', select the mode of viewing I want, click the 'always open in' and push the use as defaults button... this, by all accounts, should work to apply this mode of viewing to ALL my folders and subfolders... yet it does not.

I've had to work on this a little before it "stuck" to my preference; it appears that if you open a folder within a folder and set the option, it will apply to that and any within that, but not up a level. So you need to make sure you have it set at the top folder level and you have it set like this:
Also, if you have a folder in the dock, you will need to either control click it or - in my case I want column view - you need to Command click the folder and it'll open in column view. I've not liked this "feature" since it was changed in Snow Leopard; previously, you could just click on the folder and it would open the way you had it set.

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.

I think it's a problem with your CDATA section. Take that bit out and test again to prove whether it's the cause.

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.!!
Thanks,

Dashboard Prompt -- One Column Setting Multiple Presentation Variables

Hi everyone,
I've been playing with dashboard prompts, trying to get a deeper understanding of how the function.
I created three dashboard prompts, all on the same column, account number. Each prompt defaults to a different value i.e. 1,2 and 3 respectively. Each prompt sets up a different presentation variable. PVAR1, PVAR2 and PVAR3 respectively.
I created a report that referenced the three variables i.e. '@{PVAR1}', '@{PVAR2}', '@{PVAR3}'.
I put all three prompts and the one report in a dashboard.
When I view it, all of the prompts have the same value, value 2, however, only PVAR3 is setup. PVAR1 and PVAR2 are blank.
Why aren't all three presentation variables set to the same value? Why is only one populated?
Thanks for the help!
-Joe

Hi Joe,
Thanks for posting this interesting question, I played around and found the same issue.
This is my finding and hoping that this makes sense, The PV variables are set only when you hit a Go button. As there are 3 prompts in the question and all the prompts are build on the same column hence the values of the columns are the same, but only one variable is set. In my opinion the last prompt which got executed.
I tried the similar thing with one more prompt with one Go button and VAR1 and VAR2 values got set but VAR3 was still black. But the 2 prompts had the same values.
I believe since its the same column on which these prompts are build hence the issue of setting the values.
Hope this helps,

Getting the dashboard prompt value

Hello,
I there a way on how can i get the dashboard prompt value when using other operators beside equal/is in. It seems that you can only set a presentation variable using the equal/is in operator.
Also how can i get prompt value when using multi-select control?

Hi. Yes, presentation variable is only for is equal to/is in.
But no need to use other operators ( is less than or equal to, etc) if you want to write data in presentation variable, use equal/is in if you want to show data that is for example less and set presentation variable and in the report instead if IS PROMPTED write advanced SQL filter like:
TABLE.COLUMN <= '@{pv}'
You asked also how can to get prompt value when using multi-select control?
No way to do that. But what do you need that information for. Lets say that you are able to do that and you put multiple values from multi-select into variable, where do you need to present that data? In the report? No need for that because the report is already filtered by it.
Also check this one:

Dashboard prompts for passing parameters to BIP reports

We have BIP reports that we want to display on a dashboard.
These reports are driven by parameters, which we need to display on the dashboard.
From what I understand from the documentation, Dashboard prompts can be used for that with the presentation variable having the same name as the BIP variable.
however, i am not able to get this to work.
Our reports are not using any subject area and are BIP reports based on SQL query data sets.
Our parameter is also based on a SQL query.
Has anyone done this before? Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks

Issue filtering a report (based on narrative view) with a dashboard prompt.

I used HTML and java-script codes in narrative view to solve the issue of "linking different reports on selecting values from a drop-down". A new issue has cropped up due to that implementation. The issue is that i can't attach a dashboard prompt to such a report. This means, when i put this report on a dashboard page with a dashboard prompt to help filter the report, the report does not gets filtered (it does not seems to be connected to the dashboard prompt).
Has anyone faced this issue before? If yes, please let me know how to tackle it at the earliest.

"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..
