Export Dashboard Prompt Values to excel with reports

I have a dashboard prompt. When I export the report, there is no prompt values download with it. Please help.

I dont think we can get that. If you want to see the filters (which are applied using prompt or report level filters) in the spread sheet
Try this:
In Answers->Result tab->Compound Layout->Add View->Filters
Save

Dashboard prompt value not carried over to report in a Link on Dashboard

The Dashboard prompt value is not carried over to the report displayed as a link on the dashboard. The report has the 'Is Prompted' filter. It does not work in both cases:
1. when the report in the shared folder is specified in the link.
2. when the report in a different page on the same dashboard is specified in the link.
Please help.

First change column data format to HTML.
Then use following syntax:
'<aa href = "http://server/analytics/saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=%2Fshared%2FPortal%2Ffolder&Page=pagename&Action=Navigate&P0=3&P1=eq&P2=Tablename1.column1&P3=1+'|| cast(Tablename1.column1 as varchar(30)) ||'&P4=eq&P5=tablename2.column2&P6=1+'|| cast(Tablename2.column2 as varchar(30)) ||'&P7=eq&P8=tablename3.column3&P9=1+'|| cast(Tablename3.column3 as varchar(30)) ||'" TARGET="_blank"> <ffont color = #000099>'|| cast(Tablename1.column1 as varchar(30)) ||'</ffont></aa>'
change ffont to font and <aa to <a and </aa to </a

How to Pass dashboard prompt value to RPD variable??

Hi Experts,
I am creating RPD variable with below query in initialization block
SELECT extract(month from Max(report_date)) from xyz_date_dim where report_id=14 and year=:YEAR
I am having YEAR prompt in dashboard..from this RPD variable i want to get MAX(month) from selected year in dashboard.Here my problem is unable to pass selected YEAR to RPD Initialization block.
I read some threads we can pass user selected values to session variables. If possible can any one help me how to pass variable to achieve my requirement.
can any one help me in this....
Thanks,
KSS.

So you want to pick a month in a dashboard prompt and have the answers report filter for that month, and return results for that month, month -1, month -2 etc etc.
If so try the following, lets assume your measure is simply called 'count'
in the BMM you have measure 'count' with aggregation set.
Create a new measure in the BMM called 'count MAGO' or whatever you want (this will be month -1)
in the logical forumula for that column, use the AGO function, syntax would be AGO(count measure,<time dimension.Month>, -1) - this function is found under the 'Time Series Functions' category.
repeat steps to create 'count 2MAGO' and use -2 in the AGO function to take off 2 months.
Repeat for however many Mth Ago's you want.
Then in answers, simply use is prompted on your month fied to filter the report for the relative month, select your 'count', 'count MAGO', 'Count 2MAGO' etc, the measure will be calculated for prior months relative to your filtered month.

Prevent dashboard prompt from filtering a particular report on page?

I have a dashboard page with 1 prompt and 5 reports. The first object on the dashboard page is a dashboard prompt with a date range for created date.
The request is to filter the first 4 reports based on the dashboard prompt, and then the last report NOT be filtered based on the prompt.
Right now - the date range entered in the dashboard prompt is filtering all 5 reports.
Is there any way to prevent the prompt from filtering a particular report on the dashboard page?
Thanks!

Just wanted to provide an update as to what I learned from the SR I opened.
Dashboard prompts apply to all reports on the page which either:
* Have the "is prompted" filter selected
- OR -
* Are filtered in any other way
In my case, my last report was filtered on the created date to exclude any data prior to July 1, 2010. Because this hardcoded filter was applied, then the report automatically was picking up the date range filter from the dashboard prompt and applying that date range to the report instead.
The workaround was to create a new column on the report formatting the date as YYYYMM and applying a filter to the report as >= 201007. With this, the dashboard prompt is now not applied to filter this report.

Passing Dashboard Prompt values to different dashboard.

Hi All,
I want to pass the selected prompt values from my current dashboard to a different dashboard. I am using a navigate function to go to the other dashboard.
The scenario is:
I am using a column formulae to navigate to the different dashboard.The column formulae written is:
case when rank ("Table".column ) <=10 then cast(rank ("Table".column) as char(10)) else ''||'+'|| '' END
In this scenario, the dashboard prompts are not get passed to the other dashboard.
In other case when I do not customize the column as stated above and in the Column Property just give a 'Navigate' in the Value Interaction it passes the prompt values to the other dashboard.
Similarly can we do something in the column formulae or using something else to pass on the dashboard Prompt values to the other dashboard.
Please Note that the dashboard Prompts in both the dashboards are exactly same.

Bhavik

Bhavik,
Your nearly there, simply extend your URL syntax and pass the colum values with it, see here :
http://sureshotstrategies.wordpress.com/2008/12/13/integrating-oracle-obiee-content-using-go-url-syntax-2/
e.g
http://webserver/analytics/saw.dll?Go&Path=%2Fshared%2FSupplier%2FRegionDollars&Action=Navigate&col1=Periods.%22Year%22&val1=%221999%22&op1=eq
Passes colum : Periods.Year
value : 1999
operator : equals (=)

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.

Dashboard prompt value is not passing into the report

Hi,
I am using OBIEE 10g. The problem is in Oracle BI Answers
I have a prompt and its related report. In the prompt, in one of the column, I am using sql result. The sql query is a co-related sub query where i have used 2 tables. employee_data and employee_region. The reason for using sub-query is that there is no data_center column in the employee_data table. It has the records for all the data_center e.g USA, UK,IND,AUSTRALIA etc So, I used the sub query with condition which will give the result on a particular data center (here it is USA) and this sub query's output is input for the main query. And the prompts works fine and gives correct result
The sql query used for the column in the prompt (in Oracle BI Answers) as
SELECT EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME IN (SELECT EMPLOYEE_REGION.ENAME FROM EMPLOYEE WHERE EMPLOYEE_REGION.DATA_CENTER = 'USA')Now in the report, there are 2 coulmns. - EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME and EMPLOYEE_REGION.DATA_CENTER
I have used the main column EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME for filter as 'prompted'.
The problem is the value from the prompt is not passing from the prompt to the report, what I found. Because, instead of showing the result for 'USA' data_center, It also shows other data_center 's (UK,IND,AUSTRALIA) data.
How filter condition I should use for EMPLOYEE_DATA.ENAME column in the report so that the prompt value will pass to the report properly ?
Thanks

Hi Kuldip,
There are 2 ways of doing it.
1. Nice and good: For the section where the report is put have a condition to display only if it returns rows. For details please refer to :
http://bischool.wordpress.com/category/guided-navigation/
2. The easy way: Add a "No Result" view to your report and add few spaces in the text.
Let me know if this helped.

How to pass prompt value to columns with formula?

Hello guys
I have a situation:
I have a report with 1 column name 'product' and in this column it has a case statement like 'case when item is ('a','b','c','d') then 'Men' else 'women' end'
Then I have created a dashboard prompt of the exact same column, and I defined the same case statement in the prompt's column formula as the same.. Then I tested the prompt and it is returning only 2 values 'men', 'women'..
However, when putting the prompt and report on the same dashboard, the report is not accepting the prompt values..
Then I set the presentation variable on the prompt and call it 'Product', then in the report I created a filter on 'product' column as equal to presentation variable 'product'--- I tried with and without single quotes.. So the filter itself looks like : case when ...... is equal to / is in @{product}
However, when I then return back to the dashboard, I am getting the error:
State: HY000. Code: 388918336. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005] Unresolved column: "Product". (HY000)
Could anyone help?
Thanks

Hola
is possible that are you using a BINS agrupation into the Column Formula?
if you form a CASE statement using a Bins agrupation, in the column Formula, this must be disabled to match statements between columns and DB Prompt
if you are using a BINS agrupation to form the CASE statement, you have to delete the bins agrupation in the Column but keep the CASE statement

How to pass dashboard prompt value to requests in folder

Hi,
I want to have a dashboard page that contains dashboard prompt for period and list with requests (for this I add Folder and select "Expand folder").
If I use dashboard prompt to set presentation variables, the chosen value is not passed to requests in folder list and as I understand this is the way presentation variables work. Therefore I tried to use Request variable, but get the same result - value that is chosen in dashboard prompt, influences request only if it is shown in dashboard not if I open it from folder list.
Steps I did:
(1) Created session variable "Period", that users can alter. Initialization block is simple dummy select - Select ’2008.08’ from dual;
(2) Created dashboard prompt that sets Request variable Periods;
(3) Created report with session variable value in it:
SELECT Time."Period code" saw_0, VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Period) saw_1 FROM "TEST" WHERE Time."Period code" = VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION."Period") ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1
If I include this report directly in dashboard, it shows the session value that is set from dashboard prompt, however when I open it from folder list, it shows the default value 2008.08 although I have stayed in the same session.

Iza, you are correct in your assumption regarding passing Presentation Variables to reports that are in the Folders object. If you have a dashboard prompt on the same page as the Folders object, then even if you select a value in the prompt, it will not pass when you click on the report name in you Folders object.
Here is something you might want to consider to achieve what I think you are trying to do. Instead of having the Dashboard prompt on the first page, create a "table of contents" home dashboard page. What I mean is:
1) First, create a Dashboard page with the prompts you wish to filter a report with and set the default values. Save this as the template dashboard page. Now, with a second copy of this template, drag one of your reports to this page. Save it. Using your dashboard template page, create another copy and drag the second report to this page. Save. Do this for each report you wish to display. Note that you can drag more than one report to a dashboard page.
When you are done, you will have several dashboard pages, each with one or more reports and the dashboard prompts on the top of the page.
2) Now on your "home page," drag the Link or Image to a section. Link this object to the first dashboard page you created in step one. Name the link the title of your report. If there are more than one report on this page, title the link appropriately. Click the "open in new window" checkbox. Drag a Link or Image object for each dashboard page you created in step one.
When you are done, this home page will look similar to your Folders object, with links to each of your dashboard pages that contain the reports. When the user clicks on the link, the appropriate dashboard page will appear with the dashboard prompts and the report will be filtered on the default values. Now the user can change the values of the prompts as desired. When the user is done, he/she can close the window and he/she will be taken back to the home page to select another report.

Clear default dashboard prompt values

We have created a few dashboard prompts that are defaulted to server variables. When a user enters the dashboard page, they want to these values to be populated with a start and end date for a specific reporting period. They also want to be able to select a different reporting period (year, quarter, etc.). We have put a "Clear my Selections" button on the page, but that does not clear the prompts that have a defaulted value. The only workaround is to manually deleted the defaulted values, which makes the clear button almost useless and difficult to train the users.
Any thoughts?

Hi Chris,
If you haven't tried, use the code to place a button to clear your selections.
$div align="right" class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn" $
$a href="#" onclick="return PersonalizationEditor.removeDefaultSelection(false)"$
Clear all criteria
$/a$
$/div$
Replace $ with < or >

Insert prompt value as column in report...

Hello,
We use reports to populate the recipient list of our campaigns (the segmentation wizard does not meet our needs). The source code assigned to each campaign is as follow, 'YYYYQX', with YYYY being the year of the campaign and X being the quarter of the campaign. During the creation of the report, the year of the campaign is specified by the user through a prompt. The same applies to the quarter. I am trying to build the report in such a way that the data can be downloaded as a .csv file and reimported directly into Siebel, without manual editing, to populate the recipient list for the campaign. This means that I would need to extract values provided by the user through the prompt to automatically populate the source code column in my report. For instance, if the user picked year 2008 and quarter 3 as prompt values, the source code column should be "2008Q3" for each record included in the report.
Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
JP

Thom,
Thanks for the quick answer! This helps me with the formatting part of the problem. The part which still remains to be answered is how to obtain the value specified by the user as a prompt. I use a prompt with a "less than" condition on the field which records when our contacts gave their consent to be entered into our system (we refer to it as consent date). I also use a prompt to filter contacts based on the quarter of the consent date.
For illustration purposes, if the user runs the report for the 2008 Q1 campaign (i.e. prompt for year set to 2008, and prompt for quarter set to 1), the report will include all contacts who were entered in the system during Q1 of year 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005 and so on. In this specific instance, I would like to see "2008Q1" as a constant column labeled "source code" since it will be the corresponding source code for the campaign in which we will later on import the output of the report to create the recipient list. Right now, the only way I can think of getting the information to populate the "source code" column is to obtain data directly from the prompt, if at all possible. If not, any other way to get there would be great.
I hope this makes sense!
Thanks,
JP

Need to clear last selected prompt values while refreshing webi report

While using ALL within cascading prompts its still showing the last prompt values selected in infoview and not while editing and trying to run webi reports.
Is there any way to clear this?
I have implemented following options to resolve but did not work
1) Delete the .lov files of universe.
2) Delete the contents in data folder by going into storage directory
3) Implemented the non_persistent concept in prompts
Code is as follows for the filter with in universe
@Select(Customised LOV\State) = @Prompt('Select State','A','Customised LOV\State',mono,free,Not_Persistent,,)
or
'ALL' = @Prompt('Select State','A','Customised LOV\State',mono,free,Not_Persistent,,)

Hi,
In Web Intelligence, the Query Filter Condition consists of 3 parts:
- Object on which condition is applied
- Operator (=,<,>,matches pattern, etc)
- Operands (constant, LIst of Values, etc)
You will find a button with a "?" sign which is also called as Prompt properties. When you click on this button, a new window will open and in this you have an option for "Keep last values selected" which is checked by default.
Uncheck this check box --> Click OK. Run the report and save --> Relaunch InfoView to avoid any caching problems.
Hope this works for you

Dashboard prompt value update question

All,
I am hoping to see if anyone can answer my question or whether it is a bug or an enhancement request is needed to send to oracle.
The issue is with my Dashboard prompt, plain and simple to there are two prompt. The second is reliant on the value of the first prompt.
For example, My Parent prompt is Channel, and the second is Sub-Channel.
When Channel prompt is given a value, I want the sub-channel to contain only the values that are related to the Channel prompt's new value.
However it doesn't work, I have to press the GO button first, then the sub-channel will contain the values. Is there a way to update the sub-channel value based on the update of the Channel prompt, and not by pressing go.
Any help will greatly be appreciated, if this needs to be an enhancement request to Oracle, please inform me of what I need to do. Thank. JAR80

Its obiee limitation and conceptually its logical. Because when you choose constrain, BI server internally generates sql for constrain prompt. If we mention the sql, BI server uses the sql and which did not use the constrain query.
this similar topic is discussed once here, and workaround posted. but it is some what complex, so need to do check before implementing.
