Filter default value

Post Author: adriananderegg
CA Forum: Xcelsius and Live Office
Dear all,
I use a filter element with 3 elements. My question concerns the default value, the values which are selected after loading. I can't figure out any logic behind the values XCelsius uses.
Does anybody know which values are selected? I couldn't find anything in the manual.
Thanks, Adrian

Filter default values not available

I created filter, for example:
1
2
3
but when I preview my dashboard - no default value (first value '1') transferred into destination
When I set default value(value '1') in destination and preview - no value exist in destination
And only when I choose value from filter - destination became choosen value
How to pass filter default value ?

Hi,
As you know Filter component filters the data for the selected values, but this component has the peculiar feature that it filters and displays only the result fields after filter without displaying the field present in the filter criteria.
Example:
your data is of the form:
Prod1           Reg1           Mat1        10
Prod1           Reg2           Mat2        20
Prod2           Reg1           Mat1        30
Prod2           Reg2           Mat2        40
if the filter component has 2 filters for product and region then on selection of Prod1 and Reg1 the destination will display
Mat1   10
It displays only fields not present in filter criteria from the source data into destination.
Hope this helps.

Adding a Default value to the Filter in a Workbook

Hi,
I have created a workbook in BI 7.0. In the Filter, for a variable its displaying '#' as default value, but i want to display one of my variable values there.
I added this value in the 'Default values' tab of the variable in the Query Designer. After saving the query, i went to workbook, clicked on the Filter button, changed to design mode, clicked on the Filter pane, assigned the query as the Infoprovider& saved the workbook. But still i am getting the '#' in my Filter.
I closed the workbook, opened it again & refreshed it but still i couldnt see the variable i added. Am i missing any other thing? Please guide me. Thanks for your time.
Regards,
Murali

Hi,
adding a value as default value for a variable is only relevant for the selection screen.
If u want to define # in the navigation pane u can do that there and save the workbook.
Then # is saved as filter on workbook lvl, but its changeable by the user.
Hint: In analysis mode disable "initial query view on refresh" in dataprovider settings of the analysis grid.

How can I use today's date as default value in query string filter web part in SharePoint

I have a query string filter on my web part page. I am trying to figure out how I can set it's default value to Today? I can't find anything online...

Hi,
Per my understanding, you might want to set a default value to the Query String Filter Web Part.
It would not be able to set default value to the Query String Filter Web Part with the OOTB features available.
By default, with a Query String Filter Web Part in the current page, we can filter other web part in the same page by adding parameters and values in the address bar
of browser.
If setting the “Query String Parameter Name” of a Query String Filter Web Part as “t”, then we can filter the corresponding connected web part by inputting such an
URL into the address bar:
http://sharepoint/SitePages/Page1.aspx?t=value1
Suppose you want to filter the list view with a value dynamically when user opens this page, as a workaround, we can generate an URL with the parameters needed when
page loaded, then redirect user to this URL afterwards. This can be achieved using JavaScript.
About how to redirect user to other page with an URL:

Creating a filter and Sending default value to it using designer on SAP BW

Hi All,
Data Source: SAP BW
BI Layer: BO 3.1
Here goes my question:
We have a cube which contains HR related data. I want to query data in such a way that it gets me data for the current month and year. The time dimension contains a hierarchy called Calendar Year/Month which has values u201CFEB 2009u201D, u201CMAR 2009u201D and so on. I want to create a WebI Report which should take Current month as MAR (since current month is March) and Current Year as 2009 and pass u201CMAR 2009u201D to the query without useru2019s intervention so basically itu2019s a default value. Similarly, when the month and year changes, this value should reflect the new values (i.e. APR 2009 when April 2009 arrives).The final outcome should be a dashboard displaying information using WebI Report.
Kindly guide me step by step if there is a possible way to achieve it on SAP BW (OLAP datasource) using BO Universe designer/WebI and by using MDX wherever necessary.
Otherwise, is there a possibility of creating Filter in Universe which takes something like Month(Current Date) and Year(Current Date), append them and pass it as a parameter to BW cube; If yes, how?
Kindly guide

Couple of things, first you need to make sure you assign navigation for the buttons, which is why the remote control on the DVD Player did not work, yet you can mouse over in the computer [Assign Navigation|http://dvdstepbystep.com/buttons07.php] and [a thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=9134310&#9134310]
As to overlays, buttons will not appear (the highlights) until the loop point of the menu, but if ellements are in the background (video) then they will appear. If you do not want those items (in the background) to appear to the loop point you need to fade it in or otherwise do whatever effect you want in the background video.

Dynamic default value to dateTime filter

Hi,
In my report I want to show data with *"datetime>4 AM today to datetime<current datetime"*. How to set the default value of a datetime filter to 4AM of the current day?
Thanks
Edited by: SOADreams on Sep 22, 2011 12:43 PM

Hi
You could try the following:
Create a calculated field to determine if the Hour is 4AM or greater -- use the timefunctions and set the value to 1 for fields that satisfy the criteria using If then Else
Set the filter to Current Day and then also where the calculated field is 1
I think this will provide you the right set of records.

Query design: Default Value List Filter Prompt to None

I am building a query with several filter prompts which are of data type Value List
The problem is that the list defaults to the first value in the Value List, and I would like to default it to None. The reason of course is so users don't have to switch all the dropdowns to None manually.
I am wondering, what is the default value that can default the list to None? I have tried "0", "None", "null" all to no avail. My current hack is to add another value to the value list called "Any" and make it the first choice in the list.

Unfortunately I tried that and it didn't work.
The values of my filter prompt are as follows.
Parameter Name: AGREEMENT_TYPE
Prompt Message Resource: Agreement Type
Default Value: null:616:null
Data Type: Value List
String Matching:Exact Match
Value List Type: Agreement Type
Prefill value from cache:
Optional:
Hidden:

The default value as "None" for the report filter which is Value List type?

Hello,
I want to know is it possible to make the default value as "None" for the report filter which is Value List data type?
For example:The Project Classification Value List value type which have many value like "Supplier Rationalization" "Category Sourcing" "Contract Regegotiation" etc, and the value "Supplier Rationalization" is in the frist positon in the value list. When i use "Project Classification " as a report filter, the value "Supplier Rationalization" displayed as default value. And in the value list box in report filter of Project Classification , there is a value "None" which should be added automatically by system. So i manually filled the default value with "None" in Filter Prompt screen, but it does not work. After i display the report ,the Project Classification filter still use the ""Supplier Rationalization" as the default value.
My current ESO version is 5.1. I tried other ESO version like 5.15, if i manaully give a default value "None" in Filter Prompt screen for filter Project Classification, then the default value is "None". It works well.
Does anybody know if it's possible to do the same thing in ESO 5.1?
Thanks & Regards,
David
Edited by: David Gao on Aug 11, 2010 4:06 AM

Hi David -
This is possible, but the technique is not too obvious...
To make "None" be the default choice for a query definition filter parameter of type value list type, you need to set the default value of the filter parameter to the following:
<internal id of value list type>:616:NULL
For example, I believe you will see that the internal id of the Project Classification value list type is 51, so the default value of the filter parameter would be:
51:616:NULL
I hope this helps.

Default value of BeX customer Exit variable not Displayed in WeBI??

Hello Experts,
We are stuck with a problem where WeBI report is created on top of BeX query and we are not able to see the default value of Bex Customer exit variable in WeBI run. Here is the complete scenario:
1. One restricted KF is created in BeX, restricted with Customer exit variable on net Due date. And this variable is mandatory, ready for input, and Default value in calculated is user exit as current Week's Monday.
2. So, by default KF data should be restricted to Monday of current week, if user does not change this value.
3. Now, WeBI report is created on top of this Bex query, and all is working fine, i.e. we are getting variable as Prompt in WeBI, but Default value is not shown while Running the Webi Report.
So, need your inputs on the same, if default values from BeX in WeBI is supported or not? If yes, why this is happening, and how to resolve it?
Please notice, the restrcition is in KF only, it is not a separate restrcition on Net Due date in Filter area or in Defualt area of BeX
and we are on SAP BW 7.1 and BOXI 3.1 SP4.
Regards,
Vipul

Hi,
See 1285993 - Support of Customer Exit Variables from BEx query into WebIntelligence via OLAP universe
WebI will prompt when executed, but the default values calculated by the user exit - do not appear.
Note: If the BEx variable has property 'ready for input' set / enabled, then its WebI prompt shows ok, but no default value appears.
Cause
This behaviour expected 'by design' (in the context of the product's current limitations) as explained in the online guide below:
Please refer to Chapter 7, page 44, document link here: http://help.sap.com/businessobject/product_guides/boexir3/en/xi3_sap_olap_universes_en.pdf
Characteristic variable > processing type > Customer Exit is "Supported, without user entry"
--> This should be understood as meaning "User will not be shown a prompt"

Report Builder 2.0 loses parameter Null default value when deployed

When a parameter is set to a default value of (Null) and the report is saved to the sever, the default is lost when the report is re-opened in RB2. This problem doesn't seem to occur in BIDS. I've tried to use an expression to set the value to System.DBNull but this can no longer be done.
Any ideas for a work-around?
Is there a bug report open for this? I couldn't find an open bug on the Connections site and there's an issue on that site right now when submitting feedback.Paul Turley [Hitachi Consulting]
SQLServerBIBlog.com

Hi All,
I just had an almost identical issue using report builder 3.0 so I don't believe it is fixed. I had 4 parameters set to default to (Null) and I added a new one with identical settings but it would continually come up blank and not check the null box automatically
when going into my sub report.
To make matters worse I experimented changing one of the old parameters and it then started exhibiting the same behaviour. Using Luke's post above solved the issue (though it was Manage in my version not Administrate).
Using System.DBNull.Value resulted in it being treated as a literal string "System.DBNull.Value" and putting that in the filter for me.
Hope it helps.

Possible bug ? - Default value for select list

4.2.1
Hi, I have one page with a couple of reports. I have a time period filter on top. Its a select list with values 7 days, 3 months and 12 months. Default value is set to 3 (where return values of select list is 1,2,3 resp).
Now in page 1 which has this select list, :P1_SELECT it has a report which shows counts of number of items purchased. When the user clicks on the count(hyperlinked column), it takes the user to another page which runs the details of the items and also uses the Page 1 select. It works fine when I change the time period. However, if I dont change the time period in the select list when I first login, althought I have set the default value to 3, the interactive report on page shows no data found, because the select list default value I guess it does not recognize.
Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Sunil

Default values is only populated on the clien side and NOT in the session.

How to design SSRS report to filter multi-value parameter?

I developed an RDL which takes a multivalue parameter and I want to set a visibility expression or filter based on this parameter. This parameter uses an "All" value equal to '660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F'.
I want to make the main tablix visible if this parameter is set to this uniqueidentifier and invisible otherwise. How can I achieve this either in the tsql dataset or on the report side? I have tried numerous workarounds, but none have worked so far! I've tried
different expressions and datatypes.
Before I tried If/Else statements in the tsql dataset, but most recently I instead added flags to the tsql dataset for each condition and am trying to make this tablix only include the records with the flag matching the parameters chosen. But even this is not
working for me.
Here is sample data:
create table #dummydata
parameter varchar(max),
b varchar(max)
insert #dummydata values('660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F','record 1'),('660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1vcd','record 2'),('660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1v52','record 3')
select * from #dummydata
And my filter expression in the RDL for this tablix is:
=iif(Parameters!Modifier.Value(0)="660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F",1,0)
With datatype = integer and value = 1 However, this tablix is invisible with the above even when I choose "All" for the parameter value = default value. How can I make this tablix visible?
Ryan D

Hi Ryan D,
After testing the scenario in my local environment, everything goes well. As per my understanding, I think this issue can be caused by the Available values in the Modifier parameter. Could you tell us the Available values of Modifier parameter in your scenario?
The following scenario in my test is for your reference:
I create a dataset with the sample data you posted.
Add a multi-value parameter named Modifier in the report.
Specify the following values in the Available Values of the parameter (please note that the value “All” should be located in the first place, because we use Parameters!Modifier.Value(0) in the filter):
Label: All                 Value: ="660E4583-7F29-4D37-8038-5096AE6A1A7F"
Label: A                   Value: ="1"
Label: B                   Value: ="2"
Label: C                   Value: ="3"
Drag a table to the design surface, insert parameter and b fields in the table.
Use the same expression as you said to add a filter in the tablix.
We can refer to the following screenshot:
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to assign a default value when there is no prompted value

Dear all,
I create a filter and it's value is relate to a prompt.If the prompt is not fill I found that all record is selected.
How did I assign a default value so that when I didn't fill some value in to the prompt and still can get the result by
the default value I set?
Thanks a lot!

Are you using dates for between or some character column?
Post your example.
Instead of between use to is equal prompts, so u will have then 2 fields one for date from a nd one for date to. Everything is the same as I wrote just repeat steps...
You must put 2 separate fields if you are using date between and you want to have default variable for both.
Column formula for the first calendar date prompt:
case when 1=2 then TIMES.TIME_ID else cast ('1.1.1900' as date) end
and for the second:
case when 1=2 then TIMES.TIME_ID else cast ('1.1.2900' as date) end
Now you set up default repository variable for both prompts.
Presentation variable you put in the set presentation variable on each prompt:
p_date_from
p_date_to
And in Answers filter will be like this:
*TIMES.TIME_ID between @{p_date_from}{VALUEOF("rv_test_date_to_char")} and @{p_date_to}{VALUEOF("rv_test_date_to_char")}*
or you can put a different default variables
*TIMES.TIME_ID between @{p_date_from}{VALUEOF("rv_test_date_to_char_from")} and @{p_date_to}{VALUEOF("rv_test_date_to_char_to")}*
I posted similar in my blog:
Date between in filter and title when using presentation variable from calendar dashboard prompt or drop-down list in OBIEE

BICS - Passing Mandatory Filter Variable value to a BEx Query

Hi All,
I have similar problem as the below URL.
BICS - Passing variables to a BEx Query
Details:
I have a mandatory filter - Display Currency in BEx query. I'm trying to input this mandatory filter from Xcelsius, (by mapping the filter value to a cell in Xcelsius spreadsheet).
However, when I lauch the dashvoard in IE page, it still throws an error:
" One or more mandatory varaibles of the query... are not filled"
Does anyone face this issue?
Regards,
AK

Hi Sriram,
I assume you are using SAP direct connectivity.
>> Yes, it is direct connectivity to SAP-BW.
(And I'm publishing this dashboard in SAP-BW system itself.)
1. What are all the Variables you get in intial variable screen?
because if you have a Mandatory variable in your Bex query, a intial variable screen will appear with all the variables.
>> I'm testing the underlying BEx query, it has one mandatory variable for "Display Currency". Other are optional variable-filters, so other filters are not a problem.
2. when you get this error "One or more mandatory varaibles of the query... are not filled", just after the Launch or after the variable screen?
>> I use the option in Xcelsius: SAP --> Launch --> a new IE page opens, then I get this error
3. However you can bye pass this screen only when you give default values to your mandatory variables.
>> When I use personalization in BEx side, to input default value (e.g: USD), and then run this standard content dashboard, the hangs.(Do not see anything on IE page for long time. Though the data is very less-Few hundres rows)
So, I'm looking at passing the value from Xcelsius-spreadsheet, however, the dashboard is not picking up the value from the mapped-cell.
Hope this gives more clarity on the problem.
Cheers,
AK

Setting default value to NULL values when using Get-ADUser

I am running a simple command of
Get-ADUser -properties * | Select firstname, lastname, department | Export-Csv results.csv -NoTypeInformation
If the users department field is NULL, I would like to set a default value of "NODEPT" within my CSV results. I have tried a ForEach loop statement but I can't seem to figure this one out.
What is not explicitly allowed should be implicitly denied

Hi,
Try this:
Get-ADUser -Filter * -Properties department |
