Derive values based upon user input

Hello,
I recieved a request for a report.
When a user runs the report they are to be prompted for a fiscal year/period.
Based on the fiscal year/period that the user provides I have the following columns (in bold below are 2 examples that may make the description more clear).
1. Revenue for the Fiscal year Prior to the fiscal year of the user input value
2. Revenue for the Fiscal year/Period prior to the input Fiscal year/period
3. Revenue for the Year to date accumulation up to the prior fiscal year/period that the user input
4. Revenue for the Year to date accumulation up to the prior fiscal year (fiscal year rolls back first) and prior period (for period 01, it then rolls back the fiscal year 1 more year) that the user input
Example 1: If the user ran the query and they provided the value 05/2007, then the values that need to be obtained would be:
1. Revenue for 2006
2. Revenue for 04/2007
3. Revenue for 01/2007 to 04/2007
4. Revenue for 01/2006 to 04/2006
Example 2: If the user ran the query and they provided the value 01/2008, then the values that need to be obtained would be:
1. Revenue for 2007
2. Revenue for 12/2007
3. Revenue for 01/2007 to 12/2007
4. Revenue for 01/2006 to 12/2006
Please help me with determining how to obtain the user input value, and then how to derive the time periods for the columns based upon that value.
Thanks,
Nick

Hello,
See my example.. I am reading the value from Keydate Variable
WHEN ZVND01
        READ TABLE i_t_var_range INTO w_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'Keydate'.
         IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
          CLEAR l_s_range.
          l_date = w_var_range-low.
          concatenate l_date(6) '01' into l_first_date.
          CALL FUNCTION 'SLS_MISC_GET_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH'
          EXPORTING
                    day_in = l_date
          IMPORTING
                     last_day_of_month = l_last_date
          EXCEPTIONS
                    day_in_not_valid = 1
                    OTHERS = 2.
          IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
            l_s_range-low = l_first_date.
            l_s_range-high = l_last_date.
            l_s_range-sign = k_sign_inclusive.
            l_s_range-opt = k_option_between.
            APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
          ENDIF.
Hope this example helps..

Widget to get drop down values based on user input query string

Hi,
I have a requirement, where in user types in some text and clicks on a search button. On button click, a drop down or some box appears which has result based on the input string (from json ). User can select one of the values in the drop down or box. User should be able to select values from drop down or box only.
How can I achieve this. Is there any custom widget in CQ for this, or I have to write my own widget.
Can i use SuggestField widget for this? if yes, please give some example for this widget.
I want something similar to "authselection" widget. In case of authselection widget user names come from CQ, in this case user name will come from some other system using a CQ custom json.
If user types "gopa" and click on search , i should be able to call a json with query parameter "gopa" & the result from the query will be in the drop down.

Gopal

Hi Gopal,
Out of the box there are many example. You can look for siteadmin has a reference.

Key figure value based on user input.

Dear Friends,
We are using BI7.00 and NW2004S. In one of our report to monitor the number of notification closed and the number of notification open upto the user selected month. For this i have created a Query which has selection screen value as month. I have created a condition which will fetch the difference in days (notification completion - notification creation date) based on user entered value. For example if user enters 10 in the selection screen, report will fetch the notifications which have diffrence in days as 10.
The condition is okay for the above. What user actually wants is the number of notifications completed and that pending based on the value he enters in the screen. For example he enters 10 in the screen, system should show the values as shown below
                > 10 days
Completed                Pending
          3                           2
I tried various options but could not achieve this.
Experts help expected. Kindly provide solution.
Regards,
M.M

Hi,
As per my understanding 1 firstly u have to find out
the no of days (diff between dates notification completion, notification creation date .)
then u have to create condition on no of days which u
have find.there u have to create one user entry
variable for the user can enter his own parametrs.
Right?????
If It is right..
here are the steps..
1st:in the query designer at key figure coloumn create
one local formula.in that local formula create formula
variable with replacement path.in that take reference character
notification completion.in the next tab take replace ment
as key.in the last tab select "date".
2nd: do the same thing for the notification creation date.
3 rd : create 3 rd local formula and do the substraction
for the first 2 local formulas.
4th:create codition on the difference which u have find with
on that condition u can create one user entry varibale.
5th:while u defining the query put these 2 dates,i,e
notification completion, notification creation date in the character block.
If not system will ignore the formula variable which u created in
above steps.
Hope this wil help u.

User wants to get the cumulative values based on his input.

Hi
I am working one FI Report; the out put values are Cumulative values for Current, Previous years. I developed and it fetches the data last 3 years Cumulative years data without any input FYMonth based on SAPexits and varible offsets. But user wants to put Fiscal year Month as input. So he wants get the cumulative values based on his input. For example, If his input SEP'2005(062005), Then Query gives the Output Cumulative Value (I.e., Sum of Total values of Form APR'2005 to SEP'2005)
Please provide the solution
Thanks
Mannev

Mannev,
You can try doing this.
1. If the user input is fiscal period(2005006) , you can create a customer exit variable which will take the user value (i_step =2), and change the variable value to 20005001. (this is a simple code where tye last 2 digits are replaced by 01).
if the user is entering calmonth, you can use FM - DATE_TO_PERIOD_CONVERT, to convert the month to fiscal period.
2. You can create a rkf with restrictions on time char based on the customer exit variable and the user entered variable.

Redirect to different pages based on user input value

Hello,
Anyone please help.
I am trying to redirect to different pages based on user inputs. I have a form in which I have one text item and a submit button. For example consider text item to be empno; So once the user enters a empno and hits submit button; I need to redirect to different pages based on this job.
For Ex: if user inputs empno whose job is 'ANALYST' then redirect to page 1
if user inputs empno whose job is 'MANAGER' then redirect to page 10
For this scenario. i wrote a pl/sql process for the submit button; but no luck -- its not at all redirecting instead its in the same page. Below is the process.
declare
v_job varchar2(20);
begin
select job into v_job from emp where empno = :P9_EMPNO_R;
if v_job = 'ANALYST' then
OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL('f?p=&APP_ID.:1:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::', TRUE);
end if;
if v_job = 'MANAGER' then
OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL('f?p=&APP_ID.:10:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.::', TRUE);
end if;
end;Please help. I am using Oracle APEX version 4.2 and database Oracle 11g R2
Thanks,

Thanks,
OrtonI have a similar scenario in my application and this is how I handle it.
1. Create a page item on the page, say Px_PAGE_NUM
2. Create a "On Submit - After Computations and Validations" page process to set the above page item. In your case, you can use the same logic that you have already in place (except the call to OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL) :
declare
v_job varchar2(20);
begin
select job into v_job from emp where empno = :P9_EMPNO_R;
if v_job = 'ANALYST' then
:Px_PAGE_NUM := '1';
end if;
if v_job = 'MANAGER' then
:Px_PAGE_NUM := '10';
end if;
end;3. Create a "On Submit: After processing" branch. Specify the "Target Type" as "Page in the application" and "Page Number" as &Px_PAGE_NUM. (with the dot).
I hope the above helps.
BTW, the following thread in the forum related to OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL might help:

Displaying columns based on User Input

Hi,
I have a following requirement :
I have four columns in a report : Performance Indicator ,Target (XTD) , Actual (XTD),Indicator(Traffic Lights)
Based on the prompt, which contains column named as "Review Frequency" having values as 1. Monthly 2. Quaterly 3. Yearly.
When User select "Monthly" in pormpt I want to see MTD in Actual and Target column and Indicator depending on these columns.
When User select "Quaterly" in pormpt I want to see QTD in Actual and Target column and Indicator depending on these columns.
Can anybody tell me how can we achieve this?
I think I can achieve this with guided navigation but for that I have to create 3 reports.
Can anybody have any better idea to create just one report and based on user input I can show/hide columns in a single report?
This is mainly related to Balanced ScoreCard.
Thanks in advance
Regards,
Vikas

you have seperate columns for monthly, quarterly, and yearly, right?
In the prompt, save the "Review Frequency" as a Presentation Variable "abc";
In the request, you add actual (MTD) column, edit the formula, use something like:
CASE
WHEN @{abc}='Monthly' THEN "- SalesFacts"."actual (MTD)"
WHEN @{abc}='Quarterly' THEN "- SalesFacts"."actual (QTD)"
ELSE "- SalesFacts"."actual (YTD)"
END
then do the same thing for target column.

Query Based On User Input

Hello,
Is there a way that I can get Discoverer to run different queries based on user input? In other words, I have two parameters "A" and "B". If the user enters a value for "A", execute QUERY1. If the user enters a value for "B", execute QUERY2. If both parameters are left blank, execute QUERY3. If the user enters values for "A" and "B", execute QUERY4.
I'm fairly new to Discoverer so any help that I can receive on this matter will be greatly appreciated.
Thank You

How to configure the schema name dynamically based on user input.

configure the schema name dynamically based on user input.
For ex:
We have two schemas:
Schema1 - base schema having 15 tables.
Schema2 - tables which is specific to modules. Having only 10 tables which is also available in Schema1
Login to application using Schema 1
Access a particlular module and select the country. Here country selection is identified.
Based on the country selection, we need to connect the schema respectively.
If the user selects France --> It should connect Schema1
If the user selects Germeny --> It should connect schema2.
Used: Eclipselink

You may want to have a different persistence unit for each country, then you just need to switch persistence units, and can put the schema in your orm.xml file.
You may also want to investigate EclipseLink multi-tenant support,
http://www.eclipse.org/eclipselink/documentation/2.5/jpa/extensions/a_multitenant.htm
You can the schema in a persistence unit in code using a SessionCustomizer and the tableQualifier.

how to add column dynamically based on from_date to to_date?

You cannot add columns dynamically. But you can define a maximum number of numbers and then hide unused columns in your form useing SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(..,VISIBLE, PROPERTY_FALSE);

Drawing a line of asterisks based on user input - where do I start?

Greetings,
I'm trying to write an application that will ask the user for a number then the program will output that number in a line of asterisks based on user input - where do I start?
I really appreciate any informaiton.

import javax.swing.*;
public class numbers {
     public static void main ( String args[])
          String strNumber;
          int number = 0;
          strNumber = "";
     for (int num1 = 0; num1<=5; num1++)
               strNumber = JOptionPane.showInputDialog ("How many Asterisks do you want printed?");
               number = Integer.parseInt(strNumber);
          for(int num=0; num<number; num++) System.out.print("*");
               System.out.println("");
          System.exit(0);
                    }This compiles fine, but it just keep rewriting the same thing... Any suggestions would be greatl appreciated. Also, how would I be able to confine the number entered to under 30?

Filtering entries in BP search based upon user

Hi
We are trying to filter out results shown in BP search, based upon users. For that we are trying to follow steps mentioned in IMG
SPRO->IMG-> Customer Relationship Management -> CRM Cross-Application
Components -> Generic Interaction Layer/Object Layer ->
Component-Specific Settings -> Extend Object Model for Business Partner
The field(region) we are using is already present in structure CRMST_HEADER_SEARCH_BUIL and as per my understanding we will be using method Adjust_Result_Table.
But still I am not able to resolve it. Please help me in this regard.
Thanx & Regards
Hits

Hi,
The object that we work with at 2007:
BuilHeaderSearchNew
and not BuilHeader like at the last version
so, we have to implement CL_BUPA_IL_HEADER_SEARCH and not CL_BUIL_HEADER
1. Create :
ZCL_BUPA_IL_HEADER_SEARCH
with superclass:
CL_BUPA_IL_HEADER_SEARCH
2. At customizing:
SPRO->CRM->Cross Application components->Generic Interaction Layer/Object Layer->component specific setting ->Extend Object Model for Business Partner
add:
External Object Name - BuilHeaderSearchNew
Implementation Class - ZCL_BUPA_IL_HEADER_SEARCH
Nou you can use this method for changing the result:
ZCL_BUPA_IL_HEADER_SEARCH ->GET_RESULT_TABLE
good luck

Excel Macro to Delete rows based on user input

I need help creating a macro that will delete rows in a spreadsheet based on user input. Have little to no experience writing macros.
Rows are distinguished based on codes in column B, so if the user types "6657", the row with code 6657 should be deleted. Any help would be much appreciated

Hi,
Please try the macro:
Sub Sample()
Dim Ret As Long
Ret = Application.InputBox(Prompt:="Please enter a row number", Type:=1)
If Ret = False Then Exit Sub
With ActiveSheet
.Rows(Ret).Delete Shift:=xlUp
End With
End Sub

Displaying alert message based on user input on input param screen

Hi,
Based on user input I wish to display an alert popup on my report. I
have provided the user 2 dropdowns called sortasc and sortdesc with all
the column names used in the report to simulate dynamic sorting.This is
because we do not have dynamic sorting in CR XI R2. When the user
selects same column name in both sortasc and sortdesc then the sort
type which has priority in the record sort expert is executed. This is fine but we want an alert
or message popup displayed so as to prevent user from selecting same
column names.
I tried adding an alert with the following code:
if {?sortasc} = {?sortdesc} then true else false
So far I have not been prompted with any alert message box.
Let me know if there is any other option.

Hi Shalu,
I have created a alert and it is working fine, please follow the steps
Create a new Alert using two static parameters and give the condition for message like :
if {?Myworld} = {?Myworld1} Then
'You have entered a correct word'
else
'This is not a correct word'
Then create a condition like :
{?Myworld} = {?Myworld1} or {?Myworld} <> {?Myworld1}
Also check the check box Enabled and save the alert. Now it will popup if the myworld is equal to myworld1 or myworld is not equal to myworld1.
Hope this will help you
Thanks,

Generate charts based on user input

Hello!
My goal is to create an application in which a user would enter information (specifically in the form of numbers and financials). The final output would create a page / document that shows summary of the data and also manipulates the data into bar and pie charts. (We are trying to create side by side comparison charts based on user input.)
I have a subscription to the Creative Cloud, so I have access to a large % of Adobe products. Do you have any suggestions on what application I should use for this project? The final output could be PDF or Web based.
Thank you!
Bethany

Hi Bethany,
You may check out Adobe FormsCentral at https://www.acrobat.com/formscentral/en/home.html and see if that's what you need. You can create forms using Adobe FormsCentral to collect user input and user responses will be displayed in charts.
Thanks,
