Filter by "Result from another query" option not available in Webi

Hi all
I am trying to filter one query by zipcode based on the results of a previously run query in the same report. However this option is not available on the drop down when I drag zipcode into the filter pane. I am restricted to the options: Constant, Value(s) from a list, Prompt or Object.
I have "use subqueries enabled" within my universe and the data is held in an RMDBS (i.e. it is not an OLAP universe) so I expected this functionallity to be available.
I am using XI 3.2 and Java version 1.6.0.15, i.e. up to date.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Sharon

Sharon,
Here is one method to achieve your objective, however, it involves the use of Merge Dimensions. Here goes:
In the Edit Query mode, build two queries, where the first query has all the objects, to include Zip code, and the second query has the zip code, filtered for the one at hand. (you probably have done this portion already)
In the Edit Report mode, think of your data set as Query1 (all the data objects you want) and Query2 (zip code and filtered on that zip code) and thus you'll have Query1.zip and Query2.zip. If you build a grid containing all the data you want from Query1, then simply add Query2.zip to that grid, voila, the grid will be "filtered" due to the "merge" that occurs under the wire. The 'problem' here is that you have two columns that are repetitive and there is no inherent way to "hide" a column in WebI other than masking the column with white on white (font/borders) or some folks sometimes apply Alterters to achieve the same.
Best of luck in moving forward with your task.
Thanks,
John

Issue with Results from Another Query (Error on Null value)

Hi All,
We have a WebI report using "Result from Another Query" option of BO XI R3.1. The report was running fine till recently the dimension object using result from another query had a null value. Report suddenly throwed error as the query filters are invalid.
Is there a way to make this filter optional if no data/null value is there ? Because we need those null values in report as well.
Thank you for your time.
Thanks & Regards

Hi Vivek,
It was not directly solved but I applied alternate logic to over come the issue.
Here's what I did to overcome:
I used a sub query in place of the whole result from another query.
For Ex:
Dim1 inlist result from another query1
I made it as
Dim1 inlist (Dim0)
where Conditions.
Here Dim0 is the object which we use for Result from another query and Conditions will be the necessary filter conditions to arrive proper Dim0. Make sure proper context is formed for the sub query.
Even though it resolved my problem, It introduces an new issue. It causes increase in query run time when huge set of data is returned from sub query.
Please let me know if i haven't explained clearly.
Hi Aris_BO,
Sorry for not responding earlier. The logic would probably make more queries null & not null. Thats why I was not advised to use it.

Combine query, result from another query on SAP BI query Universe?

Hello all,
We are using SAP BI queries as datasource for our universes. Is the combined query option disabled for webi reports written on such universes?
result from another query - is this option active for such webi reports? I see both these options greyed out so wanted to check.
One last thing what is really difference between subquery and results from another query? subquery - you can use filters from that one data provider only right? or can you use a different data provider/report in sub query?
Thanks a lot for all the replies.

Hi,
in BO 3.1 Combined query and result from another query options are not available in webi report on OLAP Universes (SAP BW Universe.)
Thanks,

Results from another Query - not available

HI,
My environment is Business Objects XI 3.1 SP2 Edge series , i have below quereis with web Intelligence Reports
1. not available the functions/options Results from another Query(Any) or Results from another Query(ALL) at Query Level.
2. not getting list of Values for pronpt until i refresh values for prompt?
Please suggest me is there any fix packs available for the same to availle that functionality.
Best Regards,
Reddeppa K

not getting list of Values for pronpt until i refresh values for prompt?
There is option called "Automatic refresh before use" for the object properties available in the universe designer.
Please check the box for the object you are using for populating the list of values and export the universe.
not available the functions/options Results from another Query(Any) or Results from another Query(ALL) at Query Level.
There is a limitation for the query on query functionality that the both the queries can-not be from the OLAP universe.
I guess the query which needs to be filtered should be built on universe from the relational data base.

Can we use Result from another query in Webi using Bex uery universe?

Hi,
Can we use Result from another query filter option in Webi to create a report using a Bex Query universe?
I need to create a report using two universes, one is Bex Query Universe and the other is Orcle universe. I have two queries, one is using Oracle universe; the other using Bex Query universe. I need to pass the Oracle data from the Oracle query to the Bex Query query to get the matched data from SAP Bex query.
I used Result from another query in the query filter panel for the query using Bex query universe. But I got an error saying that 'A filter contains a wrong value. you cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007). The data used in the filter on both sides are the same. they are char.
I have tested by using two queries from the same Bex query universe to see if the Result from another query filter option works. And I got the same error.
Has anyone run into the same issue and if this is possible and what should be the solution?
Thanks in advance!

In that situation:
Create two queries : Oracle and BW query.
@ Report:
As you have to see result set from both the Dataproviders, correct? To achieve thise one must have common dimension objects to merge them at report and use Objects those are coming from both queries to use them in single Table/Report.
Unless you don't use Merge Dimensions, you don't get a chane to use both queries objects in single Table/Report. (It will give tooltip saying: You can't drop here -- Incompatable Objects)
In case, if you don't have common dimensions, change object definitions to Detail objects, for those required.
Hope it helps you.
Thank You!!

Query on results from another query

Post Author: Duncan1980
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Is it possible to query on the results from another query. I have a query that produces a list of document numbers. I want to use the output from that query as the filter criteria in a another query in the same Universe.
The output from the first query can be as much as 2000, so it would be very time consuming to cut and paste these into a filter.
Both reports are built, but can not figure out how to link the first report output to the filtering criteria on the second report. I

Unicode String Issue while Using Results from Another Query

Hi All,
In a webi report i have 2 queries say Sales Out and Investment. I need to have only those chains which are in Investement in Sales Out.
So in Sales Out query i am using the option Results from another Query. The Chain values are in Unicode format.
Though in universe i have Set Parameter Unicode_String ='Yes', this does not get applied when using option Results from another Query.
Is there any solution to resolve this problem.

Hi,
Created this test data
create table plch_test (name varchar2(50));
insert into plch_test values('AKSHAY');
insert into plch_test values('RAHUL');
insert into plch_test values('APARNA');
output
1    AKSHAY

3    APARNA
created another destnation table(in your case "my table")
create table plch_test_1 (id number,name varchar2(50));
created another sequence to generate employee ids
create sequence test_seq;
Now populated the desination table
insert into plch_test_1(select test_seq.nextval,name from plch_test);
verify the destination table

How to use Results from Another Query for SAP BW universes

Hi Everyone,
I have two SAP BI universes.In my First universe I have Sales Doc no (dimension) and Orderqty (Measure) and in my second universe I have Sales Doc no(Dimension) and BillQty (Measure).
Here in my first dataprovider I have 1200 rows of data and in second dataprovider I have 75,000 rows. The report should fetch only the BillQty details that matches to corresponding Sales doc no in first data provider.
I want to place all these fileds into a single report like as shown.
(Datarpovider1) (Datarpovider1) (Datarpovider2)
*Sales Doc No* Orderqty BillQty
Here I am able to generate single report using merge dimension but it is leading to performance issues. I want to restrict the values at query level by passing the First dataprovider Sales doc no to second Data provider Sales doc number using Results from Anothery Query feature so that It can fetch only the matching records.
I tried it but it was giving the follwing error:
A filter contains a wrong value. You cannot run this query. (Error: WIS 00007)
How Can I get rid of this error. Can we use Results from Anothery Query option for OLAP universe. Are there any limitation on it.
All this I am doing in Webi Rich Client.
Appreciate your help
Thanks &in Advance

Hi Kiran,
I think the filter has a wrong operand. For example, a filter with an empty constant, or a filter that deals with numeric values is defined with an alphanumeric value.Check out for this.

Alternative for result from other query and merge dimension option option

Hi Everyone ,
Am Developing one webi report over bex Query.
Actual scenario is output of one webi report should be the input of other webi report.
Eg:
Table 1
2010        Cus 1
2010        Cus 2
2011        Cus 3
table 2
cus1    m1   100
cus2    m2   200
Cus3    m1 400
Report 1 designing
First report created using table 1 and prompt for year
Report 2 designing
Second report created using table2 and prompt for customer
So when am Running first report it will ask for parameter year and if am selecting 2010 then the report will return C1 and C2
this out put should e the input for report 2.
So out put will be 100+200=300
NOTE:1. Result from other query is not working in webi filter pane since am building on olap universe.
           2. Merge Dimension performance is very slow .
Any Solution ?
Regards,
Kannan.B

Hi,
Thanks for ur reply
As you said , If am giving hyperlink to other report .
Eg: User selected Tamilnadu then report 1 opened then he has to click the some cell or hyperlink cell to view the actual report(2nd report).
Suppose user Clicked that hyperlink cell and 2nd report opened and he is viewing the data for Tamil nadu and he decided to see the report for
Andrapradesh so according to this logic he has to select first report and refresh the data for Andra and from there he has to come to 2nd report.
totally 4 screen will be opened for seeing the two states report.
So Some other alternative.......

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
I currently run OS X 10.10.1
Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
Here is an example of what i want to happen.
I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

Best way to limit results from a query.

I need to limit the number of results returned from the database to the first x rows. What I need is a database independant way to achieve this - i.e. I can't use LIMIT, TOP, etc. in my query.
My question therefore is does statment.setMaxRows(x) restrict my results at the database level or my application's view to the database? I.e. will the complete SELECT * run within the database but the first x will be returned to the resultset, which could be quite a performance drain at db level. Or will this have the same effect as running a query SELECT TOP X FROM... which will be a much quicker query to run?
Any help greatly appreciated!

The best, and only fool proof way to limit results (rows, columns) from a query, and not waste database resources is to code your query so it only returns the rows and columns that you need. That might mean providing date ranges, sequence number ranges and all other WHERE criteria that can be used to filter the data to exactly what you need.
There are ways to limit what is available to your Java program, but in most cases, the entire SQL must be completed before any results can be returned. The simplest example is; using the SORT command to get the data into the order you require, will first require that all rows be made available to the sort. The fact that you only want the top 5 rows doesn't matter to the DBMS because it cannot give them to you incrementally.
Focus on getting your SQL as efficient as possible. If the SQL runs efficiently, you can use almost any of the JDBC commands to limit, list, cursor forward and backward, etc, without regard to their overhead.

How to retrieve dynamic filter value submitted from control query to .....

How to retrieve dynamic filter value submitted from control query to broadcast query.....
I'm trying to change the hierarchy version determined by a userexit variable in the broadcast query.
The Hierarchy Version should be dependent on the input filter delivered by the bursting query.
But how do I catch the dynamic filter value which has been submitted by the bursting query,
with other words: where does the bursting query store it's out put while sequentially starting the broadcast query value by value?
BTW: the filter value from the bursting query appears under "dynamic filter values" in the information of the broadcast query...
Any thoughts are welcome!

Further information,
Report is used via webi only, not Xcelsius or Dashboard.
Report is consuming BI Web Services.
Although we can pass in prompt values to BI Services, I couldn't find if we could pass a variable or dimension object into this field. Anyone knows?
