Filter control on reports

Is there a filter control on reports, just like the sort control?
Thanks

San, you might need to explain further what you mean.
For filtering, you can use parameters and then call those parameters inside your selection formula (Report/Selection Formula/Record) When the report is run, the user has to enter in parameters which are used to filter the data outputed. You can also use parameters in formulas within the suppression of a section.
So, for example, I have a report that is filtering the data by Service Area, Event Codes, Work Groups etc and the selection formula looks like this:
{BI_LMN_SRV_REF.BI_LMN_SRV_DESC} = {?p_ServiceArea}
and {BI_TASK_ACT.BI_WORK_EVENT_CD} = {?p_WorkEventCD}
and {BI_WRKFLW_TASKS.BI_WORKGRP} = {?p_WorkGrp}
and {BI_SO_MASTER.BI_SO_TYPE_CD} = {?p_SOType}
and {BI_SO_MASTER.BI_SO_STAT_CD} = {?p_SOSTATCD}
and {BI_WRKFLW_TASKS.BI_TASK_CD} = {?p_TaskCD}
Note, I personally only use the selection formula instead of the select expert.
Does that help?

Is it possible to create a custom filter control in SSRS 2005?

Hello!
I need to make a custom filter control for my reports which will provide some options for date parameter:
- year and month selection
- Some RadioButtons: "Yesterday", "Today", "Tommorow", "Last week", "Next week"
- Date range
Please, give any suggestion which can help to solve this task.

Vsevolod,
Unfortunately there is no built-in support for this customization in SSRS so far. You have to code to implement this feature in your custom application. For example, use a ReportViewer control in an ASP.NET application or a Win Form application.
Anyway I think that you promote a good suggestion to improve Microsoft product's feature. Could you please give your feedback to our product team here?

Post subject: cannot apply filter to the report element

Hi All,
I have a report that has checkbox Input Controls. when the user is viewing the report and try to manuplate the input controls its throwing an error saying

I tried to do the same with an admin account still its showing the same error but when when I edit the report its not throwing the error. The problem is with the View mode

How can appear just some values when i filter in the report

Hi gurus,
i have a query in a web template, i remember there was a form to do this:
For example in the report there are many analist, A,B,C.
For material 1 the analis A,
For material 2 the analis B,
For material 3 the analis C,
when i filter in the report for material 1. and then the analist, i WANT when i click in filter the suggestion is ANALIST = "A", because is the only analist for this material.
thats my problem when i filter just material A, and click to show the analist , appears ALL the analist in the suggestion of the report and is not correct because if i cliked in analist B the report doesnt bring values , its logic, , i remember some reports when you go filter, the suggestion to show is accord the values that you are showing, can you help me to do this , thanks!

Look at the definition of the infobject and in the query for "Query Execution Filter Value Selection"
This controls the values ie master data or posted items for navigation

Need a multi-level control break report displaying a cross-tab for each ...

I need a multi-level control break report that displays a cross-tab report for each
detail and subtotal. The individual cross-tabs are no problem. There are two issues:
1) How to get many cross-tabs (thousands) to appear in one report.
2) How to provide cross-tabs in-line on the multi-level subtotal lines.
Here is a concrete example.
Suppose the data base contains this table:
road (
id_number number, -- this is an artificial PK
city varchar2,
county varchar2,
state varchar2,
length number,
owner varchar2, -- roads may be owned by cities, counties, states, and others
surface_type varchar2 -- the surface type may be gravel, asphalt, concrete, and others
The table is populated with several million records that include every
length of road in a US city.
It is OK to suppose that all the attributes in all the records are not null.
Without the PK, there would be millions of duplicates,
which should all contribute to the summed lengths.
The report I need is like a control break report with a detail line for each
city together with subtotals for each county and state and
a grand total for the US at the end.
However, each detail and total line needs to be a cross-tab report
summing the length over the city, county, state or US
(whichever is called for at that location)
for each combination of owner and surface_type.
so the report would have the following structure:
a city cross-tab for the first city in county 1/state 1
a city cross tab for the last city in county 1/state 1
a cross-tab for count 1
a city cross tab for the first city in county 2/state 1
a city cross tab for the last city in county 2/state 1
a cross tab for state 1
a cross-tab for the US
Any suggestions will be appreciated.
This problem comes up because my client's legacy system,
which is being replaced,
already has such a report (in COBOL).
Thanks!!!
Steve
PS, I know one ugly way to do it. Namely, make a variable for each
possible combination of owner and surface. Then code an ordinary control
break report. However, I am looking for something better.

Hi Jenna_Fire,
According to your description, you have a matrix contains total for each group on each level. Now your requirement is, when you click on any number (data field or total), it will go to the detail report which returns all the detail information of the people
within the group scope. For example, if you click on the total of Active users in United States, it will return the detail information of Active users in New York and Texas. Right?
In this scenario, we should set the parameter (@Country, @State, @City) allow multiple values in both main and detail report. And in Default Value (@Country, @State, @City), query out all distinct values. In the textbox which contains
those total values, when set use these parameters to run the report, we only need to pass the parameters of parent groups. For example, if we click on the total of Active users in New York, we only need to pass Country, State, Status to detail report, and
in the detail report, the City parameter will use all distinct values (Default Values) because we don't pass the City parameter. We have tested this case with sample data in our local environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference:
1. Create parameter Country, State, City and Status in both main report and detail report. Set both Available Value and Default Value get values from query (Create a dataset for each parameter, use "select distinct [column] from [table]" as query). Set allow
multiple values for parameter Country, State and City in both reports.
2. In corresponding textbox, pass appropriate parameters in go to report Action.
4. Filter data in detail report (in where clause or using filters).
5. Save and preview. It looks like below:

Clear Filter on Interactive Report

I created an application in Application Express 4.2.0.00.27. Four of the pages have interactive reports. I applied the filter to the report on page 46 to show only rows with LAST_NAME LIKE ‘%JONES%’ and the rows are filtered correctly. When I navigate to the calling page 12 and then back to page 46 the filter is still in effect. The clear cache on the calling page 12 is checked. Is there a property of the page or report which will clear the filter on page 46?

See Linking to Interactive Report in the documentation.
To reset an interactive report in a link, use the string "RIR" in the Clear-Cache section of a URL. This is equivalent to the end user choosing the Reset option from the interactive report actions menu on the target page. The report is returned to the default report settings specified by the developer or saved by the user.

Filter on the reports created using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS in obiee 10g

How do i filter on the report that is created by using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS in obiee 10g?
I have reprot A with link to report B, report B is created using DIRECT DATABASE ACCESS. so it is just a table, but i need to filter out 2 columns.
here is the query in REPORT B:
select strm, acad_group, crse_id, class_section, count(emplid) from v_crse_enrl
group by crse_id, strm, class_section, acad_group;
the link in REPORT A:
'<a target="_blank" href="'||VALUEOF("bi_link")||'Go&Path=CF_CROSS_TEACHING_LIST&ACTION=Navigate&col1=STRM&val1='||view1_DIMEN.STRM||'&col2=CLASS_SECTION&val2='||TRIM(view1_DIMEN.CLASS_SECTION)||'">' ||view1_dimen.class_id||'</a>'
from this link to report B.
thank you!!

I didnt tested using url, but the same works with using presentation variables.
To your direct sql add where clause for those two columns like WHERE col='@{col1}' and col ='@{col2}'
and try to run from url.
let me know updates

Can you filter a custom report by postcode? I want to send an email marketing campaign to customers

Can you filter a custom report by postcode? I want to send an email marketing campaign to customers within a postcode range. How do you do this? Thanks.

Hey RP in Oz,
You can run a contacts report and select 'Default Address Type' as an 'Address Details Field' which will include the zip code a customer has inputted. You can then export the report, open it up in Excel (or similar) and filter based on the postcode. Once you have modified the list in excel, formatted it correctly and are satisfied, you can then import the report as a mailing list via E-Mail Marketing > Mailing Lists.

Rank function without filter in the report

Hi,
I have a problem with Rank() function. The problem is the next one.
I have a table with this rows:
User | DATE | Cost
user1 | 12/02/2011 | 10,4
user1 | 13/02/2011 | 11,1
user1 | 13/02/2011 | 10,1
user1 | 13/02/2011 | 8,1
user2 | 12/02/2011 | 1,4
user2 | 13/02/2011 | 12,1
user2 | 13/02/2011 | 22,1
user2 | 13/02/2011 | 8,1
In the rpd I have a agregate row as SUM(COST), and I need extract te ranking of this SUM(COST) per user, The sum of user1 is 39,7 and the sum of the user 2 is 43,7. If I show in the report all users, the ranking is correct Rank=1 per user2 and Rank=2 per user1, but the problem is that I only want show the user1, when I add a filter to the report user='user1' the ranking value changes from 2 to 1. I need that the ranking value doesn´t change when I introduce a filter.
Any idea about how to solve this problem?
Thanks

Hi Antonio,
On the Rank column in the answers edit the formula as given below.
Case when username = 'user2' then Rank(sum(cost)) else 0 end
Then apply a filter on the Rank column as Rank > 0.
I hope this one helps you.

How to filter standard ALV report with custom UI element?

Hello Expert,
I got a requirement to filter standard ALV report based on the custom UI element (which is created in the screen before displaying the ALV report). Upon entering the values in the Custom field, the ALV report is displayed accordingly.
Any ideas how to approach it?
Thanks,
Mohammed

Hi,
Okay, let me explain the steps in detail
Let us say you have alv table with 10 records and alv table is shown first time with all 10 records
Create an internal table in component controller's attribute GT_ORIGINAL_DATA and save all 10 records into this table first time
Now, user enters value in FILTER_MATNR field 123 and press apply_filter button or press enter key
Read the value of field filter_matnr and get the only matching records from global internal table GT_ORIGINAL_DATA into local internal table as below
          data lv_matnr type matnr.
          data lt_data   like wd_comp_controller->gt_original_data.
               " read the value from context attribute of filter_matnr
                    lv_matnr = ???
               " copy all data into local table
                    lt_data[] = wd_comp_controller->gt_original_data.
               "delete the records which does not match
                 delete lt_data where matnr NP lv_matnr.
Now, bind the data lt_data to context node of alv table
Hope this helps you.

Filter issue in report

Hi can ane one u can tell waths the solution for this I tried useing functions also but its d 'not working, i applied filter also
-- same report two issues
Issue 1
The ‘Final Approver Full Name’ field appears to be returning all approvers rather than the final approver’s. As the field name suggests, it should only be returning the name of the last person to approve the requisition and not all approvers that approved that particular requisition.
ex: I have highlighted Purchase requisition no: 1000000011 as one example it shows allll the approvers but in the report it should show only last approver)
Issue 2
In an attempt to alleviate the above issue we removed the final approver full name field but the amounts were then incorrect. While the lines are no longer duplicated for each of the approvers, it appears that the amount is multiplied by the number of approvers (so line 1 of requisition 1000000011 shows as 2.25 when the amount on line 1 should be 0.75).

How to add filter in Bex report

hi how to add filter in BEx report and what is the difference between filter and free charcteristics.
Regards,
Viren.

Hi Viren,
difference between filter and free characteristics is that free characteristics can be added to drilldown at query runtime. Filter values can not be changed at query runtime.
You can add a filter to a query by placing a characteristic in filter section and restrict the characteristic to certain values. Characteristics in rows / columns / free characteristics section can be restricted to certain values, too.

OR Filter in Interactive Report

Hi,
How can I have "OR" Filter in Intercactive Report ?
For Eg: I want set a filter Like Dept contains HR or SALES :
Dept contains 'HR'
Dept contains 'SALES'
But it gives me result if only one filter enabled at a time.
How can I have result set from both condition?
Regards,
Benz

Hi Martin,
Actually my Dept column is not exactly like 'HR' or 'SALES' ,
So "IN" condition will not work.
Im looking for filter :
DEPT LIKE '%HR%'
OR
DEPT LIKE '%SALES%'
else
DEPT contains 'HR'
DEPT contains 'SALES'

Search/Filter through Interactive Report!

Hi All,
First of all WISH a very Happy New Year-2010!!
In my previous post for Search/Filter through Interactive Report!
I am facing problem with UI as mentioned below can any one help me out on this, as this an urgent for me...
At last i was able to was able to retrieve the data from Iframe using different logic!!
But i want to modify some of the modifications in UI Design..
As i have informed u that End user always selects the Page-85 which is visible to them..
In that page(85) i have totally created three regions.
1. Attribute Report(Intearctive report)
2. Manage Attribute(HTML where i have give iframe syntax as {iframe ID="Attribute Report" src="" style="width:520;" FRAMEBORDER=0></iframe>
3. Create/Edit Region
FYI: There is a create button in Attrinbute Report and when i click on that Button then only i wil display the Create/Edit Region
Now the problem is end user are using pixels as 1024*756 size, when i have tried to increase the size of width in iframe, the create/edit region is crossing and
need to scroll down to check the data.
Let us assume if i had reduced the size of width as default 520 then create/edit region is placed with in pixcels.
As u know there is a button called as "GetResults" in page-85 when i clik on that button we will call the iframe which is a hidden page where end user
can not view.
The main problem is that in that page i mean page-45, it has desgined in such a way that it is similar to page-85 which is having with all 3 regions!!
When it will display the report from iframe for that the scrolloing is displayed, and when i had click on create button in that iframe the credit/edit region is
displayed but for that there to scroll down which is not happy by endsuer.
In order to overcome this i had tried to increase the width in iframe which is working for one not for the other or viceversa.
Suggestion: Can u suggest me how to fix the pixcels so that it will not excceds the pixecls size?
What i had thought is in page-85 i have created totally 4 regions instead of 3 regions as shown below:
1. Attribute Region
2. manage Attribure(With Iframe)
3. manage Attribute(With out iframe but used one hidden varibable ans set that hidden in condtional region)
4. Create/Edit Region.
And i am setting that hidden variable in Create button, so that i can call the second manage attribure with iframe.. When i have tried to use that it is throwing script error as "style is null or nor an object", i belive scince we are hidinng that region it migh not able to identify that style!!!
Can u suggest me the way i have done i had implemenetd is sounds goods for u? Or else can u help me out how to fix that UI design issue...
Thanks in advance,
Anoo..

Hi Andy,
As per your suggestion i have created two pages!. One is 85 page and 45 page, but foe enduser can see only the 85 page.
In 85 page i have created a interactive report as shown below:
SELECT distinct attr_code "EDIT", attr_code, attr_description, attr_atcl_code,
attr_abbreviation,
attr_include_short_desc "Include short desc",
attr_include_long_desc "Include long desc",
attr_attr_type "AttrType", attr_code "DELETE"
FROM t_append WHERE EXISTS (SELECT 1
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND
WHERE APPLICATION_ID = :APP_ID
AND PAGE_ID = :APP_PAGE_ID
AND CONDITION_ENABLED = 'Yes'
AND APPLICATION_USER = :APP_USER) ORDER BY attr_description;
In the same page itself i have created a One more region, where i have one select list and submit button, when there select fro the list and click on submit button then popup should fired, i mean what u have mentioned. For that i have created a new page called 45 where i have two regions one is HTML region and second is interactive report.
I html region i have given like this in source
<iframe src="f?p=&APP_ID.:85:&SESSION." style="width:500; height:1000;" FRAMEBORDER=0></iframe>
but i am not able to see the template at all?
Pls correct i way i have done is correct or not.
Also i was not able to see the Region as - Popup one ( where i can see the popup option?)
Thanks,
Anoo..
