Drilling: Present column a but drill on column b

Hi everyone,
I've gotten myself into an interesting situation. I'm reporting a financial metric which the users wanted formatted with dollars on the Y-axis and "period<br>year" on the X-axis. They were very particular about having a line break between the period an the year, for example, period 1 of 2009 should be formatted as follows:
P-01
2009
I first tried to use the html formatted data and put this in the field formula as period || '<br>' || year, however, the chart refused to interpret the html and just presented the <br> as text. Keep in mind this trick works fine on pivot tables and tabular reports.
Next, I added a database field to my date table which had the data preformatted as period ||chr(10)|| year. This worked like a charm. The data would show up with the break exactly like I wanted it to in the chart, however, pivot tables and regular tables it did not show up.
So I ended up using the html option for pivot tables, and the chr(10) option in the chart, and everything was looking good until the user decided they wanted to drill into periods.
The pivot table works fine for drilling, however, the chart does not. Apparently when it tries to interpret the chr(10) and create the dynamic SQL for the drill report, the chr(10) gets lost from the query and it doesn't match the field that's in the database.
So in order to make these drill work, it seems like I'm going to need to be able to present the column with the chr(10) in the chart, but drill on the column with the <br> in the backend.
Is there a way to specify in the RPD that if a user clicks on one column, to drill based on a second column?
Thanks!
-Joe

Hi Joe,
I don't think that's possible with a drill. With GoURL and some HTML you might be able to achieve a "similar" functionality, but it will be a navigation rather than a drill down.

Adding description to presentation columns in obiee 10g

Hi,
I know how to add the description to the presentation columns in obiee, my question is that after I enter the description and go to Answers and hover my mouse over columns in the subject area I see the description but prior to description it shows the column name also.
I want to see the description only and not the column name.
Is it possible in 10g? I know in 11g you don't see the column name befor the description.
Thanks

You'll have to post this question on biee forum...

You should be able to put Launchpad back in the Dock by dragging it from the Applications folder to the left section of the Dock. As to why it won't launch, run the Console utility, try to run Launchpad, and see if any messages appear in the Console window.

Am trying to open a powerpoint presentation in keynote, but presentation is grayed out and keynote won't open. any ideas.

I am trying to open a powerpoint presentation in keynote, but it won't open. Presentation grayed out.Ideas

Firefox doesn't have any built-in ability to display PowerPoint files in a tab. You can check how Firefox is set to handle PowerPoint files in the Options dialog:
"3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Options > Applications
''This list may take a while to load.'' In the search box above the list, you can type pow and let Firefox filter it down. Usually these would say "Always Ask" but you might have customized them to "Use Microsoft Powerpoint".
There are some sites that have a Flash-based PowerPoint viewer, such as OneDrive/SkyDrive and SlideShare. Maybe Gmail has one now, too, I haven't checked. But all such sites also should have a separate download button, either before showing their viewer or as part of the viewer. If there are particular sites where you notice this problem, maybe someone know how to bypass the viewer on that site and go straight to a download.

WorkSpace Presentation column values

Hi Y'all,
Looking at the ExpenseReinbursement project, when launching the workspace, you see fields like Total Amount, Description, Region etc. How are these project variables formatted before rendering. Example in case, Total Amount in the BP Object Presentation is prefixed with the *$*, but in the work item under Total Amount has a prefix of *£*, and also it has a bold font.
Could someone please help, 'tis driving me crazy, 3rd night of trying to work it out with no joy.
Thanks
Chairman

Convert all letters and numbers to an arbitrary letter and then remove that letter. If there are any characters left, they are invalid according to your rules.
select *
from t
where replace(translate(lower(column_name), 'abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz0123456789', 'a'), 'a') is not null;

Making presentation column fields visible / editable at runtime

Hi,
I am new to presenation.
In my presentation, suppose if i have 3 fields
First one is combo.. and other two are text fields.. Depending upon the value selected, i like to enable second text box ,disable thrid one..and vice-versa..
How can i enable / disable or change the editable property at runtime
Can any one help on this. Thanks in Advance

Hi,
There are three steps to doing this.
1. You first have to find out the names of the fields on the presentation you want to make visible or invisible. To do this, go into the BPM Object Presentation -> click the field -> look at the Properties tab on the right and see the name in the "Name" field. It is normally "text1" or "text2", etc.. This is the field name you will want to use in the logic in the next step. A very common mistake is to use the attributes name (e.g. "customerName") in the logic in the next step. This will not work - you must always use the field's name instead.
2. Create a method in the BPM Object with logic similar to this:
// see which value was picked from the combo dropdown
if valueInCombo = "A" then
    // make the attribute associated with the "text1" field on the presentation
    //   not visible
    setVisible this
      using componentId = “text1”,   // the field name
          visible = false,       // “true” to make visible
          collapsed = true     // removes the space vacated
    // make the attribute associated with the "text2" field on the presentation
    //     visible
    setVisible this
      using componentId = “text2”,   // the field name
          visible = true,
          collapsed = false
elseif valueInCombo = "B" then
    // make the attribute associated with the "text1" field on the presentation
    //    visible
    setVisible this
      using componentId = “text1”,   // the field name
          visible = true,
          collapsed = false
    // make the attribute associated with the "text2" field on the presentation
    //     not visible
    setVisible this
      using componentId = “text2”,   // the field name
          visible = false,
          collapsed = true
end 3. On the presentation, click the combo dropdown. Once again look at the Properties tab on the right and click the "On Change Invoke" property. Once clicked, pick the method you just created in the above step.
Hope this helps,
Dan

How to add new Measures in WEBOSA (Measures are already present in Mviews but needed to be mapped to cube)?

Hi
I am using WEB OSA (Oracle Sales Analyzer) cubes.
Now we had a requirement to add new measure to the existing cube. In the materialized views we successfully added the new column. But coming to cubes we are unable to map the new measure to View. We are using Express Relational Access Administrator for modelling the cubes.
In Cubes I created the measure. and in view also i added the new measure in data base. but in administrator i am not seeing the newly added column.
need ur help on the same.
Thanks in Advance
Sravan.

Hi Sravan,
My memory of these Oracle products are a little fuzzy since we stopped doing development on RAA/RAM back in the year 2000 - exactly 15 years ago!
I recall that the Relational Access Administrator i.e. the RAA admin tool stores the sources i.e. Tables or Views that you include in your project as a set
of metadata in the Warehouse Metadata tables or known as the "WH" tables. I believe your issue is one that the definition of the view as stored in the
WH metadata tables does not include your new measure view column. I believe there is a way to "update" the definition of the view as stored in the
WH metadata tables. I believe there is a wizard that you can run that will show the current and new version of the source table or view and allow the
RAA to update the source definition to the new definition. At this point, you can hopefully map your model measure to the source view column and then
run a new build.
Out of curiosity, please provide the versions you are running for:
1) The windows O/S that you are running the Express Relational Access Administrator
2) The version of the Express Relational Access Administrator
3 The Oracle database version
Finally, please send me a note as to why you are still using this very old (but good) technology. Another words, do you feel the
more recent offerings from Oracle do not satisfy your business requirements or some other reasons for not modernizing your
applications?
Thanks,
David

Saved Keynote presentation as .PPT but will not open in Windows

I have a new Macbook Pro with Keynotes (Dec 10). I had a presentation prepared in Windows 7 PowerPoint. It opens in Keynote but if I save as .ppt, it will not fully open in Windows PowerPoint 2010. The slides all open but there is no content. Keynote is version 2009 5.0.4 (633).
Is there some secret to using Keynote - None of the previous items seem to address my situation.

for what its worth, I've been trying to do the same today
however the problem doesn't seem to lie with the Keynote to Powerpoint, as that opens fine on the same Mac
it seems to be the resulting PowerPoint Mac file, copied to PowerPoint Windows that is stumping the presentation and producing the blank slides (which is does mention in the warnings that flash up on the PC when you open the file).
Unfortunatley I cant seem to find an alternative to the Save-As version '97-2004 that Mac PowerPoint can produce:
Keynote '09 v5.0.5
PowerPoint 2008 v12.2.5 Mac
PowerPoint 2007 PC 12.0.6557.5001 SP2

Keynote refreshes presentations via iCloud but doesn't stop

Hello,
I have a big problem with keynote on iOS and iCloud:
Keynote tries to refresh my presentation all the time and I cannot even download it via iCloud.com .
Here are two screenshots, so you can understand my problem:
Do you have any ideas how this problem can be solved?
Thanks in advance,
codingalex

G'day
Winston, if you're reading this, I've had the same problem, but with a 497.7 MB presentation.
It simply refuses to update to iCloud. The blue progess bar does not advance.
I've done everything you suggested above, and while the 'Updating 1 Presentation' progress wheel was going around, I updated a 7.6 MB presentation at the same time. It updated straight away, but the large presentation is still stuck, hours later.
Before I tried your suggestions, I noticed that the progress bar on the original update would prgress slightly about a third of the way along the progress bar, then jump backwards slightly; a sort of continous loop. However the re-named file is going nowhere, locked at the start.
Is their a size limit for iCloud syncronization? Or is their a bug somewhere.
My presentation, 'Grandkids', has 6 short .mp3 sound effects and 3 short .avi movie clips. The presentation whilst uploading only shows as 497.5 MB in iCloud (greyed out).
Any advice from anyone please?
Regards
Santa

Exported the present. to iMovie, but cannot find that movie/video now....

In anticipation of making a video out of my presentation and sending it via iMovie to Youtube for my friend (the author of the presentation), I followed the instructions using a presentation that I made for myself. I selected the size and then pressed the button and waited during that time when my work was being sent to iMovie. After a while that progress bar disappeared and I figured that the export had finished. Well, but now I cannot find the video that I supposedly made. I went to iMovie (for the first time) and checked for it there, but saw nothing. I checked my Hard Drive and my Desktop: No video.
Where should I be looking for the video? Also, how do I even know that a video was actually made?
This is my first time.
Lorna

Mr. Peebly, I did those things before posting. I will re-do my experiment/test before I attempt to do the 20+ page real presentation.
I have some doubts about the real presentation because I kept getting the warning message that “the bundled movie could not be uploaded.”

Sharing a Presentation with animations, but no audio

How do I get a presentation I created without audio but with
animations to display in a Connect meeting so the presenter can
click through it like a Powerpoint? Currently the presentation just
clicks from slide to slide with no animations, so the items that
I've animated are skipped.
Help!! We go live tomorrow!

Casper,
Okay I want to sing the friendly ghost from the show when I see your name.
I burn avi all the time in Toast 7.1.2 Toast and I usually convert them to divx to fit 10-11 hours of video on there, but I've done it with DVD video. A friend lent me a movie once with no sound and here is the problem that will work everytime. You need to download the VLC player to get it to work right. Here is the link: http://www.videolan.org/
Didn't even know they had an intel one as I have the other version on my Powerbook and just transferred it to my intel one. Once it is downloaded you click on the orange striped cone and then you will see a little VLC box come up. The most effective way to view any file is to go to File up top and then scroll to open file (I've down the quick open file too and then you see a open box and a button that says browse next to it. Click the browse and find the movie or divx you want to watch and click open and then okay, then click the play arrow that is on your desktop and viola. You can go up top too and go to video and click full size screen etc.
If this was helpful or solved your problem please click the helpful or solved button up top. If this doesn't work let me know too.

Presenter 7 installs, but no "Adobe Presenter" menu in PowerPoint

System: Windows Vista SP1 with Office 2007.
Presenter 6.1 has always worked for me without issues.
I saw that Presenter 7 had been released, so I grabbed the
trial version, uninstalled Presenter 6.1, and Installed Presenter
7. Installation completes without issues. However, when PowerPoint
is loaded, there is no Adobe Presenter menu present. I followed the
instructions in the release notes for enabling a disabled add-in,
but Presenter was not listed as an add-in (disabled or not).
I've tried a repair installation, I've removed and
reinstalled, nothing gives me the Adobe Presenter tab in PowerPoint
2007.
Anyone else experience this and found a solution? I can't
wait to get my hands on Presenter 7, but if I can't get it
installed, it's useless to me.
For now, I reinstalled Presenter 6.1, and it is back and
working fine.

Hi All,
To answer this, first we need to check if Adobe Presenter is installed on the computer system we are dealing with.
The easiest and the quickest way would be to go to Control Panel > Add/Remove Programs > Program Features and check within the list of instralled applications.
Once this is verified, launch Microsoft Power Point 2007 and click on the MS Office button on the top left.
* From the drop down, select PowerPoint options.
* Click on the Add Ins Tab on the left hand pane.
* On the bottom of this page next to 'Manage' click the drop down list to select 'Disabled Items' and click 'GO'.
* A second box would appear. On this smalll box click and highlight Adobe Presenter Com Add In from the list and click on 'Enable'.
* Close Powerpoint window and relaunch MS Powerpoint.
* You should now have the Adobe Presenter Tab available on the top menu bar for MS Powerpoint 2007.

In firefox I am unable to submit information via form buttons. The buttons are present and clickable but nothing happens once they are clicked.

I am having trouble submitting information via form buttons. I click on the button but nothing happens. It isn't site specific and is a problem that has only started to happen recently. I have uninstalled firefox and reinstalled it without any rememdy. The problem does not replicate itself in Chrome or Internet Explorer. Can anyone advise what maybe the problem? Is it s a javascript setting within firefox that I may have accidentally turned off? Please help.

Thank you for the help but I found the answer here: http://support.mozilla.com/tiki-view_forum_thread.php?locale=en-US&comments_parentId=601699&forumId=1
I am pretty sure you had the same diagnosis and solution to start it in safe mode, and if it does work, go disabling each extension one by one until you determine which extension is the culprit.
Thanks!
