Dimension filter to prompt

Hi all
Design studio 1.3
Is there any way to assign filtered values from a dimension filter or folter panel directly to data source prompt?
Instead of having to have the filtered field in the resultset of the target data source.
I work over a UNX Universe
Thanks
Shlomi

Hi Silpa,
There is no way to filter members, you can only use COMBOBOX prompt with manual list of members like:
PROMPT(COMBOBOX,%PLAN%,"Select Plan version (PLANTYPE):",0,,{ACTUAL,BUDGET})
But even with COMBOBOX the user will be able to directly type some other member (luckily it's not evident for the user).
We are using comboboxes when we have to somehow restrict users.

Dimension Filter - Dynamic popup size?

Hi,
I have a small problem.
One of my dimension filters have a hierarchy dimension assigned. Depending on the expansion of the preferred hierarchy selection, the user cannot see the whole text.
I know that I can change the size of the Dimension Filter with the settings Popup Width and Popup Height, but is it somehow possible to change the size dynamically depending on the expansion of the hierarchy?

Hi Max,
As far as I know there is really no such setting in Design Studio that would enable that.
There is also no way how to achieve this with the available scripting methods, if there would be something it would be in theory something like this:
In the OnChange Event of the table cell width where the hierarchy is or based upon the expand level state of the hierarchy in the filterpanel, adjust the width of the filterpanel and the width of the table cell where the hierarchy is.
There should be a solution to do this via javascript, but for that you would need to use the sdk to include some custom javascript code into your bi app.
Normally your requirement can be achieved with/through css, there is a method/way that causes the width of the parent container to expand/adjust automatically when the width of the child element changes. But the problem/difficulty here is, that the filterpanel is created with a lot of absolutely positioned divs (containers) here and there and thus several stacking contexts are created and thus a change in one stacking context has no effect on an element which is in a different stacking context - a change in the width of the table cells where the hierarchy is placed has no effect on some other higher/previously positioned parent container elements because they are in different stacking contexts and when a container's width isn't adjusted too, the inner child element has no way to expand and still be/remain visually nice as a whole.
Anyway, so far I didn't help you much, so here is something you could use to make the text visible/readable without expanding the width:
/* Make Long Text (in Hierarchy) in Dimension Filter Visible (Break Into a New Line) */
#sap-ui-static .sapzenfilterpanel-PopupContainerDialog div.sapUiTableCnt div.sapUiTableCCnt table.sapUiTableCtrl tr.sapUiTableTr > td:nth-child(1),
#sap-ui-static .sapzenfilterpanel-PopupContainerDialog div.sapUiTableCnt div.sapUiTableCCnt table.sapUiTableCtrl tr.sapUiTableTr > td:nth-child(1) span.sapzenfilterpanel-SelectionTableText {
white-space: normal;
/* Optional setting: break to newline anywhere in a word */
/*word-wrap: break-word;*/
(Note: you can simplify/adjust the selectors, this is not the only way how the selectors must look like, it is just an example, but working example...)
A side note when using the setting: "Member Display: Text and Key"
The Dimension filter has 3 columns: 1. Text , 2. Key , 3. Check(boxes)
where the first 2 columns for text and key are the same width. But usually the key is shorter than the text and doesn't need so much space, so you could adjust the width proportions of these first 2 columns so that the text has more width than the column containing the keys:
/* Make Text Column Wider and Key Column Narrower */
div.sapUiTableCnt div.sapUiTableColHdrCnt div.sapUiTableColHdr > div:nth-child(1) {width: 207px !important; /* Default Popup width: 350px > 147px , 147+60=207 */}
div.sapUiTableCnt div.sapUiTableColHdrCnt div.sapUiTableColHdr > div:nth-child(2) {width: 87px !important; /* Default Popup width: 350px > 147px , 147-60=87 */}
div.sapUiTableCnt div.sapUiTableCCnt table.sapUiTableCtrl tr.sapUiTableCtrlCol > th:nth-child(1) {width: 207px !important; /* Default Popup width: 350px > 147px , 147+60=207 */}
div.sapUiTableCnt div.sapUiTableCCnt table.sapUiTableCtrl tr.sapUiTableCtrlCol > th:nth-child(2) {width: 87px !important; /* Default Popup width: 350px > 147px , 147-60=87 */}

Design Studio : How can I expand all hierarchy at once in dimension filter

Dear Colleagues.
I am currently working on design studio. I need your advises to implement BW hierarchies in my dashboard.
Is it possible to expand all hierarchy in Dimension Filter of Design Studio?
I tried to expand hierarchy in data source api, like 'expandNode' or 'setDrillLevel'.
These functions can be expanded all hierarchy in Cross tab. but it can not be applied to Dimension Filter.
Please help me to achieve this.
Thank you in advance.
Best Regards,
K.Min

I don't see a way to achieve this with the Dimension Filter or the Filter Panel
I think it would be a great idea to add to Idea Place at ideas.sap.com

Date - Dimension filter

Hi
In my Design Studio dashboard i have a dimension filter on date field used for filtering the report.
I have created a variable with the following specifications in the BW Query:
Processing By: Customer Exit - This gives by default the last 365 days and so have used the i_step = 1 in code.
variable: Interval, optional
Variable ready for input enabled.
When i try to select a new value for the filter, in search it displays the date only for which there is a value maintained in the cube.
Ideally this should not be the case, because we can not expect the user to know as for which dates the values are available in BW.
I also tried giving the property of the characteristic as - values in master data at "edit initial value", but still it does not help.
Kindly suggest as how this could be handled.
Regards
Merlin

Hi Merlin,
I'm not quite sure if I understand you correctly...
What do you mean by " not giving the values other than the ones in the cube."
Are you looking for an option to show a calendar to the end user and enable him to choose a date irrespective of whether the value is available in the Cube/Masterdata or not?
In this case I would suggest you to use DateField instead of DimensionFilter.
This should solve your issue.
Or
You want to show all possible dates for the user which are valid for the current context. In that case use the option "Only Values in Posted Data". This option is specifically meant for this purpose.
Do let me know if I had misunderstood something.

Bharath

Dimension filter - single value

Dear all,
I have a report where I want to use a dimension filter BUT end-user should only be able to select 1 value (so not multiple values).
Is this possible?
Kind regards,
Lieselot

that is the best option currently. Using .setfilterExt instead of set filter gives you the ability to be more flexible in filter options with includes, excludes and ranges.
Problem we encountered ourselves is that user often want to search on text and the filter is on key.
On the dropdown box you can type in and there is a autocomplete function there.
I myself was looking at a inputbox that lets you enter a value with a wildcard into an inputbox and the inputbox would then return a list of dimension entries that are within that search.
for example *BIKE* would include JOHNSON BIKE RENTALS. But currently that is in the realm of SDK development.
best regards,
Jeroen

Dimension Filter is not responding in Chrome after CSS code applied

Hi Everyone,
In SAP Design Studio 1.4 Sp02 I have Dimension Filter which is working good in both IE and Chrome. It is getting regular default font as header in filter and when we select any value for the filter, we need it with bigger font and bold, so I wrote CSS code as below and applied it to my dashboard. After CSS code that dimension filter is working as before only in IE and it is not responding in Chrome. Please see the below code and suggest the changes or extra code if I need to add to this to work in Chrome also.

Display single value with dimension filter selection

Hello,
I use Design Studio 1.3.
I want to display the correct single value after I choose a "Calyear" form dimension filter.
At the moment I can use the sum of all "Calyears"only.
Thanks for our help....

I have create this Datasource:
In Script Editor I fill the value field with this Code:
DETAILS_VALUE_AE.setText(DS_3_AE_DETAIL.getData("00O2TF25Z6L0MSI7DYKIXACY3", {}).formattedValue + " EUR");
00O2TF25Z6L0MSI7DYKIXACY3 = Keyfigure "Aufragseingang"
Without filter the value is correct.
But when I filter (with dimension filter) the value doesn't works correct.
I think my code in script editor is not correct. Or must I use variables?

Use of other dimension filter in business rule

Hi,
I have a requirement to create two eliminations and adjustment business rules, one of which should only run for a specific category and the other should run for all other categories. I thought I could use the other dimension filter for this and on the first rule CATEGORY=ACTUAL is accepted by the system. However, on the second rule I entered CATEGORY<>ACTUAL and when I save the rule I get an error saying that CATEGORY<>ACTUAL is not a valid logical expression.
As we have a number of categories I really do not want to create a rule for each one, so does anyone know a way to create a rule for all but one of my categories?
Thanks,
Arnold

Hi Vadim,
we currently have around 20 categories (plus ACTUAL) and we get two new every year for multi year plan/forecast. If only = works I would have to create one very long string for the second rule and add to it very year.
I will try it though and if you are correct I might have to open a note with SAP.
Thanks,
Arnold

Interco dimension filter in Automatic Adjustments

Dear Experts,
In the automatic adjustment business rule, I created a rule where i used the interco dimension as a filter (eg. Intco=I_4109 in the "other dimension filter" or R_selection field). However, when i run the legal consolidation data package, i am not getting the expected results. It seems that the system is not reading the interco filter. Has anybody experienced this problem?
Regards,
Grace

Hi Sunny,
I have noticed this problem as well.
The validate option just does not work for extra added ORIG columns.
But the good news is.... if you save it, it will work.
The only penalty is that the validate option can't be used anymore... But hey.... who needs this option, we just don't make mistakes

Eliminations and adjustments rule: Other Dimension Filter

Hi guys,
Anyone knows if it is possible to include a specific property value of a USer defined Dimension as the criteria in "Other Dimension Filter"?
Instead of Product=Prod1 using something like Product.Family=Type1
Thanks

Hi Vadim:
This is Weiwei from SAP Support. I just tested in BPC 10 SP12 that the validation will not be passed when you put something like PROFIT_CENTER.PCTR_TYPE=OP in additional dimension filter. You can only put dimension member in the filter such as PROFIT_CENTER=XXX.
I also test and verified in IFRS Startup Kit and can not find a rule that has the filter configured based on property in the business rule. If you see a different story, please let me know.
A rule is saved does not mean the rule is valid, that is why when you save a rule it will give you warning that it does match the validation. It is not a problem of the product, just as you save dimension without processing/validating it, does not mean the formula/value you put in the dimension sheet is valid.
Hope that helps. Feel free to let me know if you have any thoughts.
Thanks,
Weiwei

OBIEE 11g: Non conformed dimension filter

Hi,
I have two fact tables and some confromed and non conformed dimensions between the fact tabels.
The hiearchies being built and proper levels were set for the fact tables. The measures of the fact were set to the total level of the non confromed dimension tables.
The fact also hold some non aggregated columns (baseline columns), all the base line columns where moved to a logical dim table.
The report involves both the fact tables, conformed and non conformed dimension columns.
When we built the report with all these columns the report is showing fine. But when we add the filter with the non conformed dimension the report is throwing some error.
Error Details
Error Codes: OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P

OBIEE 11g and Essbase and Dimension Filter / Selection Steps

We are doing a prototype using OBI 11g with Essbase 11.1.2 as a datasource. Our prototype consist of several reports, graphs and dashbaords. The Essbase cube is an ASO cube with 12 dimensions. Most of our dimensions are ragged/unbalanced so we have set up the dimension type to be "Value" in the RPD. There is one dimension - Product and it is a ragged dimension. We are trying to create a simple report that has level zero products as rows. This is something pretty easy to do in Essbase Financial Reporting but it does not look like there is an easy way to filter only on the Level 0 members of a particular dimension. I have tried with selection steps as well as changing the dimension back to unbalanced without much luck.
Has anyone out there done something similar before? Thx.

Hi user,
Check this out OBIEE 11g - Essbase connection Failed
And 1 more thing admin tool works only for 32-bit ...but not in 64 bit.So ensure you install 32-bit for admin tool.
UPDATED POST
Jacob->its same for stand alone application also,it works only on 32-bit
hope helps you.
Cheers,

Make dimension values shown reflect other dimension filter values

I have created a cube and uses access this cube in an Excel pivot table. Is it possible to make values shown for one dimension display only the values valid, if I have selected another dimension's value that would limit the values that should
show under the first dimension? I tried linking the dimensions together with a key and that did not appear to do the trick. I also tried using dependsondimension in properties for the other dimension, but that did not work either. Is
there something I am missing that makes the cube only display the values in a dimension that apply when another dimension's value is filtered?

@Naveen - I am linking to the proper measure and am seeing the correct measure values.
@KR Jurgen - I'm not finding a spot to set the scope to NULL. I would, but some people need all the values.
Here's an example. I have company 1 and 2. Company 1 has item A and Company 2 has item B. They both have sales of $1. There is a company dimension and item dimension. When I filter by company 1, I see sales of $1.
The problem is, when I select the list of items from the item dimension, I still see item B. If I put the items in the row, I only see item A. The ideal situation would be to have only item A show when I select the list of items from the item
dimension. Is there some way to accomplish this?
Thank you both for your responses.
