Filter records on multiple value

hello,
I have year and quarter dimension on rows with sales amount on columns. It is giving me total sales for each year for each quarter.
I would like to filter data on multiple years, example for year 2012 and 2014 for quarter 1 and 4.
Thanks in advance,
P

Hi Parry,
According to your description, you are retrieval data from a SQL Server Analysis Services database, now what you want is filter data on multiple years and quarters, right?
In your scenario, if you retrieval SSAS data by using Microsoft Excel Pivot table, then you can use slicers to achieve your requirement. Slicers is an alternative to traditional PivotTable filters. Please refer to the links below to see the details.

Can I use multiple values for a rollup key on the same Endeca record?

We have a business need to to aggregate our records using different criteria, based on user navigation. We are thinking of using a rollup key with multiple values to help with the aggregation, but we are running into some issues.
Here is a made-up xample of what we want to do: assume we have a group of products and these products can be organized into groups using parent-child relationships. We would like to create an aggregate record for each parent, and we want the aggregate record for each parent to include all the children for the parent. To achieve this, we use a field called "parent_rec_spec" that holds the parent record spec and we set the same value on the field for the parent and its children. When we do rollup using the parent_rec_spec as the rollup key, we are able to see one aggregate record for each parent (with its children).
The previous setup worked perfectly for us so far. But now we are getting a business requirement that allows children nodes to be linked to multiple parents at the same time. We were hoping of using another dimension to limit the records based on user roles/characteristics , so that only applicable parents/children are displayed (for example, we can use "market" as an additional filtering property, and we decide to show all parents/children for "North America", while hiding the parents/children for other markets).
This caused an odd behavior when children are linked to multiple parents. For example, assume that SKUs A and B were linked to parents in "North America" and "Europe" at the same time, and assume that the user chose the "North America" market. The navigation state would eliminate the parents/children that are no in North America, and will also cause the parents/children that are labeled for North America to show up and be aggregated correctly. This however will lead to the creation of additional aggregate records for the A and B using the parent_rec_spec values that would have linked them to the Europe parents (even though the parents are hidden away).
Here is an example index file that we used to load the test data:
Update||1
Market||North America
Record Type||Product
Name||Parent 1
rec_spec||P1
parent_rec_spec||P1
EOR
Update||1
Market||Europe
Record Type||Product
Name||Parent 2
rec_spec||P2
parent_rec_spec||P2
EOR
Update||1
Market||North America
Record Type||Product
Name||Child A
rec_spec||A
parent_rec_spec||P1
EOR
Update||1
Market||North America
Market||Europe
Record Type||Product
Name||Child B
rec_spec||B
parent_rec_spec||P1
parent_rec_spec||P2
EOR
Update||1
Market||North America
Market||Europe
Record Type||Product
Name||Child C
rec_spec||C
parent_rec_spec||P1
parent_rec_spec||P2
EOR
Update||1
Market||Europe
Record Type||Product
Name||Child D
rec_spec||D
parent_rec_spec||P2
EOR
In this setup, we have parent P1 marked for North America with children A, B and C, and parent P2 marked for Europe with B, C and D as children. When we use North America as a filter in the navigation state, and parent_rec_spec as the rollup key, then we will see an aggregate record for P1, A, B and C. But we will also see an aggregate record for B and C by itself (presumably because of the other parent_rec_spec value on these records).
The actual data that we are testing with is more complicated, but the end result is similar. We also noticed that the additional aggregate records would not be created always, depending on the ordering of the records.
The question that I need help with is this: is there a way to fine tune the rollup logic so that it can only include certain records (in the example above, we can change the rec_spec from PA and PB to PA_North_America and PB_Europe and then we would be interested in rolling up using values that end with NorthAmerica).
By the way, we considered using separate rollup keys for each context (like parent_rec_spec_north_america and parent_rec_spec_europe), but the number of contexts is dynamic, and might grow large. So it is not easy for us to create the additional properties on the fly, and we are concerned about the possible large number of dimensions.

PHP Recordset- filter by multiple values

I have a page with a form to filter the subsequent page by
the state that the samples were submitted from. on the first page I
have a menu which will allow muliple selections from it. How do I
set up the recordset on the subsequent page so that it will return
all of the records from all of the selected states?

Hi run4it,
SharePoint doesn't support the filter control with mulitple checkboxs in list column head in SharePoint 2007, which is supported in SharePoint 2013 as you find, it seems there is no OOB configuration approach (or with SharePoint designer) could achieving
this goal.
I thinks it has to write the custom code to implement filtering the same one column with multiple values or use some third party commercial web parts as Dimitri suggested.

How do I filter on multiple values / labels within a Pivot Table which points to a Power Pivot Model

Hi,
How do I filter on multiple values / labels within a large data set within a Pivot Table which points to a Power Pivot Model. I am current using Excel 2010 64 bit. I intend to empower users to achieve this by simply using the Excel user interface, not by
using Excel formula or DAX. Please find the attached screen shot as a worked example, also in my real life example not all the values are available in the drop down. You can't use a slicer for the same reason as you can't use a drop down. I guess what I was
hoping for is for the user to be able to enter AND or OR within the associated dialog box. Is there any way around this?
Kind Regards,
Kieran.

Multiple records to be created for multiple values in a field

I am having a requirement in which i will have multiple values for a field.The values are seperated by commas.I need a record to be created for each value.(eg: if there are 4 values i need 4 records to be created). Any one please help me out.

Hi !
You can try solve it at File Content Conversion level, by specifing your value separator as the endSeparator.
Or you can import all values as a unique record and then solve it via graphical mapping, using an advanced UDF, where you receive N records, then inside the UDF, you split the values via its separator and create new array values (one for each input value after splitting) and output that array to be used to fill destination structure.

Problem with ALV filter functionality when filtered for multiple values

Hi,
I am facing a problem with ALV filter functionality.
I have displayed an ALV with some columns col_A, col_B and col_C
col_A---- col_B -
col_C
1----
a -
abc
2----
b -
pqr
3----
c -
lmn
4----
d -
xyz
5----
f -
stu
From the settings link I am applying filter on column col_C and selected multiple values say 'pqr', 'xyz' and 'lmn'.
Now the ALV is showing rows only for last selection i.e . results are fetched only for value 'lmn'.
i.e. after applying the filter the ALV table looks as below:
col_A---- col_B -
col_C
3----
c -
lmn
But ideally it should be:
col_A---- col_B -
col_C
2----
b -
pqr
3----
c -
lmn
4----
d -
xyz
I could not find any OSS note related to this issue.
Please help me resolve this issue.

Multiple values in a user record field and Address Book

Hi
I'm working out a method of importing multiple users into an LDAP directory on OS X 10.4.4, and I've hit an interesting snag.
When you export a user from Workgroup Manager, any fields in the user record that contain multiple values (multiple email addresses, work phone numbers, etc) contain their values separated by commas. For example:
username::::[email protected],[email protected]:::
However, when I view that LDAP entry in a networked Address Book, it only displays the first value, not the second or subsequent values. I've changed the Address Book template to specify multiple emails/phone numbers, but that doesn't do it.
If I create my own import file, and pull it into Workgroup Manager, they import correctly into the user record, so I don't think I'm doing anything wrong on the server side.
Does anyone know how to make Address Book display all the values?
Thanks
Matt

if i'm not remembering read stuff wrong, these fileds have quite alot of limitations. and i think multiple values per field is such a limitation.

Displaying single value (Record) into multiple columns

PH1, PH2, PH3, ... will go more columns based on parameter , what we are passing.An single SQL statement cannot have a dynamic number of columns based on the data itself. The projection (columns returned) have to be known before any data is fetched... and that includes some 'parameter' value.
{thread:id=2309172}
You can build a query dynamically, based on a parameter or even on the data, but 99 times out 100 people use dynamic queries where they are not needed.
Perhaps explain to us what you are really trying to achieve and why, and we could suggest some better way.

Multiple values for a given property in a Master Record

Hi,
As you said
How do I use the property values in my input values.
I thought you are talking about input form, that's why I said you can crate input form using dimension over ride.
But if your requirement is about scrip logic then it is better to ask question with reference to following guide by Vadim Kalinin so that we can understand your requirement properly and you will get right solution.

Multiple values for multiple fields sharing common id

I'm new to Reporting Services and I need to create report based on a common child id that includes multiple values from multiple fields in several tables. I can combine all the values into one query for a list report; however, this causes the rows to duplicate
multiple times based on the differing fields having multiple values (i.e. report contains various child ids and multiple medication dates/names, multiple health diagnoses with onset dates, multiple health service dates/values, multiple immunization types and
service dates, etc). If I create a list report and try to use various tables, I run into problems with how the tables view the data due to the duplicating child id rows from multiple field values on that child id. If I hide duplicates for these different tables,
I can run into spacing issues from the duplicating rows and/or hiding data that shouldn't be hid.
I need the report to have the basic non-duplicating child info (id, name, basic health info) and then also have various sections that contain fields with numerous values (i.e. section for health issue name and onset dates, section for medication name and
prescription dates, section for health service name and service date, etc). I would want a page break after each child id and would want all the child ids to be viewed/exported for printing purposes at the same time (i.e. not choosing one child id at
a time to print or view the data). I have tried to create one main table on a list report with various subreports on the child id; however, this is hard for my machine to process (it takes forever) and I can only view/export one child id at a time when I use
child id as the report parameter.
Any help you can give this newbie would be greatly appreciate.
Thanks,
Melissa S.
What's the best way for me to
MelissaS

Hi simpson213,
According to your description, you have some questions about your report design.
1. How to have non-duplicating child info?
In this scenario, since you don't want to hide the duplicate data, we suggest you filter the duplicated records on query level by using Distinct statement. If you want to do it on report level, you can group
records on chid id and use First() function on other fields.
Reference: First Function (Report Builder and SSRS)
2. How to have various sections that contain fields with numerous values?
We can also add these fileds into the child group of child and have them toggled by child id.
Reference: Add an Expand/Collapse Action to an Item (Report Builder and SSRS)
3. How to add a page break between each child?
Right click on the Row Group(child id)->Page Break->Select between each group instance.
Reference: Add a Page Break (Report Builder and SSRS)
4. How to select multiple child id when rendering report?
When creating parameter, select Allow multiple values in General.
Reference: Add, Change, or Delete a Report Parameter (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

CV04N, classification fields w/multiple values be listed on results screen?

When using CV04N to search for document info records, I have a classification field that has multiple values. The search results screen only displays the first value of the multiple values. Is there a way to display all of the values that are selected on the search results screen?

Hi Heidi,
Please note that this is the standard display beahvior in transaction CV04N. Unfortunatly it is not possible to display all saved values of a multiple value characteristic. Therefore only the first value is displayed. As only the first value of the characteristic is displayed also the filter functionality doesn't not display a document if you enter the second or third value.
Best regards,
Christoph
P.S.: Please reward points for useful information.

Multiple values from database on a single text item

i am trying to do the following
on a single text item in a form
(under form property pallete->records->number of items displayed is 5) run a triger "when-new-block-instance" with the following pl/sql statement
declare
menu_item VARCHAR2(35);
begin
select label into menu_item
from menu_options;
end;
however, once i run the form it gives me
WHEN-NEW-BLOCK-INSTANCE trigger raised unhandeled exception ORA-01422
however, if in the pl/sql statement contains only
begin
execute querry;
end;
then it works fine
The problem i beleive is the fact that the first querry retreives multiple values or recordset instead of A record.
How can i go arond this and allow the form to list all the values in this form. Eventually i will need to add conditional SQL statments and that is why just execute querry will not work.
Also, is there a way to dynamically assign a number to "number of records shown" property?
All help is very much appreciated!

Hi, Marko
I teach Forms, and I usually find a bad idea to use SQL statements directly (in particular when you can "make" Forms to do what you want).
Inside PL/SQL, a SELECT..INTO statement is supposed to select a single row, otherwise an error occurs.
EXECUTE_QUERY works.
If by "conditional SQL statements" you mean restricted (filtered) queries, you don't need to write SQL to do this.
You can set the DEFAULT_WHERE block property to a different value before using EXECUTE_QUERY, like:
SET_BLOCK_PROPERTY('your_block', DEFAULT_WHERE, 'where menu_id > 100');
And the answer to your second question is no, you cannot dynamically change the number of records a block is displaying.
You can limit the number of records your block queries from the database table using Maximum Records Fetched block property (available in Forms 6 and above, not sure about Forms 5). However, this will only work as expected if you set Query All Records to Yes.
Hope this helps,
Pedro

How to use Ajax Get Multiple Values in Tabular form?

Hi All-
I am trying to use AJAX to get multiple values in tabular form by using Denes Kubicek's example in the following link -
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:239:9172467565606::NO:::
Basically, I want to use the drop down list to populate rest of the values on the form.
I have created the example(Ajax Get Multiple Values, application 54522) on Oracle site -
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=4550:1:0:::::
Workspace: iConnect
login: demo
password: demo
I was able to duplicate his example on page 1 (home page).
However, I want to use system generate tabular form to finish this example, and was not able to populate the data correctly.
Page 2 (method 2) is the one that I am having trouble to populate the column values. When I checked application item values in Session, and the values seems to be populated correctly.
This is what I have done on this page:
1. Create an Application Process On Demand - Set_Multi_Items_Tabular2:
DECLARE
v_subject my_book_store.subject%TYPE;
v_price my_book_store.price%TYPE;
v_author my_book_store.author%TYPE;
v_qty NUMBER;
CURSOR cur_c
IS
SELECT subject, price, author, 1 qty
FROM my_book_store
WHERE book_id = :temporary_application_item2;
BEGIN
FOR c IN cur_c
LOOP
v_subject := c.subject;
v_price := c.price;
v_author := c.author;
v_qty := c.qty;
END LOOP;
OWA_UTIL.mime_header ('text/xml', FALSE);
HTP.p ('Cache-Control: no-cache');
HTP.p ('Pragma: no-cache');
OWA_UTIL.http_header_close;
HTP.prn ('<body>');
HTP.prn ('<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f04_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_subject || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f05_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_price || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f06_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_author || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f07_' || :t_rownum || '">' || v_qty || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('</body>');
END;
2. Create two application items - TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2, T_ROWNUM2
3. Put the following in the Page Header:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function f_set_multi_items_tabular2(pValue, pRow){
    var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,
'APPLICATION_PROCESS=Set_Multi_Items_Tabular2',0);
if(pValue){
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2',pValue)
get.add('T_ROWNUM2',pRow)
}else{
get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2','null')
    gReturn = get.get('XML');
    if(gReturn){
        var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item").length;
        for(var i = 0;i<l_Count;i++){
            var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item")[i];
            var l_ID = l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('id');
            var l_El = html_GetElement(l_ID);
            if(l_Opt_Xml.firstChild){
                var l_Value = l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue;
            }else{
                var l_Value = '';
            if(l_El){
                if(l_El.tagName == 'INPUT'){
                    l_El.value = l_Value;
                }else if(l_El.tagName == 'SPAN' && l_El.className == 'grabber'){
                    l_El.parentNode.innerHTML = l_Value;
                    l_El.parentNode.id = l_ID;
                }else{
                    l_El.innerHTML = l_Value;
    get = null;
</script>
Add the follwing to the end of the above JavaScript:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function setLOV(filter, list2)
var s = filter.id;
var item = s.substring(3,8);
var field2 = list2 + item;
f_set_multi_items_tabular2(filter, field2);
4. Tabular form query:
select
"BOOK_ID",
"BOOK",
"SUBJECT",
"PRICE",
"AUTHOR",
"QTY",
"BOOK_ID" BOOK_ID_DISPLAY
from "#OWNER#"."MY_BOOK_STORE"
5. In Book_ID_DISPLAY column attribute:
Add the following code to element attributes: onchange="javascript:f_set_multi_items_tabular2(this.value,'#ROWNUM#');"
Changed to -> onchange="javascript:setLOV(this,'f03');"
Now, T_ROWNUM2 returns value as f03_0001. But, TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM2 returns as [object HTMLSelectElement]...
Please help me to see how I can populate the data with this tabular form format. Thanks a lot in advanced!!!

Updated code in Red..

Lets start with looking at what the javascript code is doing.
function f_set_multi_items_tabular(pValue, pRow){
/*This will initiate the url for the demand process to run*/
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,html_GetElement('pFlowId').value,
                          'APPLICATION_PROCESS=Set_Multi_Items_Tabular',0);
if(pValue){
    /*If there is an value than submit item name with value*/
    get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM',pValue)
    get.add('T_ROWNUM',pRow)
}else{
    /*Else set the item TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM to null*/
    get.add('TEMPORARY_APPLICATION_ITEM','null')
/*Submit the url and te returned document is of type XML*/
gReturn = get.get('XML');
if(gReturn){
    /*There is something returned*/
    var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item").length;
    /*For all elements of the tag item*/
    for(var i = 0;i<l_Count;i++){
      /*Get the item out of the XML*/
      var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("item")[i];
      /*Get the id of the item*/
      var l_ID = l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('id');
      /*Get the element in the original page with the same id as
      **the item we have in the XML produced by the ondemand process
      var l_El = html_GetElement(l_ID);
      /*Now get the value of the item form the XML*/
      if(l_Opt_Xml.firstChild){
        var l_Value = l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue;
      }else{
        /*There is no value*/
        var l_Value = '';
      if(l_El){
        /*There is an element with the same id as the item we are processing*/
        if(l_El.tagName == 'INPUT'){
          /*The element is an input item just set the value*/
          l_El.value = l_Value;
        }else if(l_El.tagName == 'SPAN' && l_El.className == 'grabber'){
          /*If it is a span elment and has the class grabber
          **Then set the innerHTML of the parent to the value
          **and the id of the parent to the id
          l_El.parentNode.innerHTML = l_Value;
          l_El.parentNode.id = l_ID;
        }else{
          /*Else set the value as innerHTML*/
          l_El.innerHTML = l_Value;
get = null;
Now where it went wrong in your initial post
The XML that was returned by your XML process would be something like
<body>
<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>
<item id="f02_1">CSS Mastery</item>
<item id="f03_1">22</item>
<item id="f04_1">Andy Budd</item>
<item id="f05_1">1</item>
</body>
When you don't use apex_item to create your tabular form a item in the table will look like
<input id="f02_0001" type="text" value="CSS Mastery" maxlength="2000" size="16" name="f05" autocomplete="off">
Notice the id's f02_1 and f02_0001 don't match.
So to make it work the XML would have to look like
<body>
<desc>this xml genericly sets multiple items</desc>
<item id="f02_0001">CSS Mastery</item>
<item id="f03_0001">22</item>
<item id="f04_0001">Andy Budd</item>
<item id="f05_0001">1</item>
</body>
To do that simply use lpad in the ondemand process like
HTP.prn ('<item id="f02_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_subject || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f03_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_price || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f04_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_author || '</item>');
HTP.prn ('<item id="f05_' || lpad(:t_rownum,4,'0') || '">' || v_qty || '</item>');
Keep in mind that the above is based on your original post and #ROWNUM# not being lpadded with zero's.

[UIX] How To: Return multiple values from a LOV

Hi gang
I've been receiving a number of queries via email on how to return multiple items from a LOV using UIX thanks to earlier posts of mine on OTN. I'm unfortunately aware my previous posts on this are not that clear thanks to the nature of the forums Q&A type approach. So I thought I'd write one clear post, and then direct any queries to it from now on to save me time.
Following is my solution to this problem. Please note it's just one method of many in skinning a cat. It's my understanding via chatting to Oracle employees that LOVs are to be changed in a future release of JDeveloper to be more like Oracle Forms LOVs, so my skinning skills may be rather bloody & crude very soon (already?).
I'll base my example on the hr schema supplied with the standard RDBMS install.
Say we have an UIX input-form screen to modify an employees record. The employees record has a department_id field and a fk to the departments table. Our requirement is to build a LOV for the department_id field such that we can link the employees record to any department_id in the database. In turn we want the department_name shown on the employees input form, so this must be returned via the LOV too.
To meet this requirement follow these steps:
1) In your ADF BC model project, create 2 EOs for employees and departments.
2) Also in your model, create 2 VOs for the same EOs.
3) Open your employees VO and create a new attribute DepartmentName. Check selected in query. In expressions type (SELECT dept.department_name FROM departments dept WHERE dept.department_id = employees.department_id). Check Updateable always.
4) Create a new empty UIX page in your ViewController project called editEmployees.uix.
5) From the data control palette, drag and drop EmployeesView1 as an input-form. Notice that the new field DepartmentName is also included in the input-form.
6) As the DepartmentName will be populated either from querying existing employees records, or via the LOV, disable the field as the user should not have the ability to edit it.
7) Select the DepartmentId field and delete it. In the UI Model window delete the DepartmentId binding.
8) From the data controls palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field as a messageLovInput onto your page. Note in your application navigator a new UIX page lovWindow0.uix (or similar) has been created for you.
9) While the lovWindow0.uix is still in italics (before you save it), rename the file to departmentsLov.uix.
10) Back in your editEmployees.uix page, your messageLovInput source will look like the following:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="${bindings.DepartmentId.path}"
    destination="lovWindow0.uix"/>Change it to be:
<messageLovInput
    model="${bindings.DepartmentId}"
    id="DepartmentId"
    destination="departmentsLov.uix"
    partialRenderMode="multiple"
    partialTargets="_uixState DepartmentName"/>11) Also change your DepartmentName source to look like the following:
<messageTextInput
    id=DepartmentName
    model="${bindings.DepartmentName}"
    columns="10"
    disabled="true"/>12) Open your departmentsLov.uix page.
13) In the data control palette, drag and drop the DepartmentId field of the DepartmentView1 as a LovTable into the Results area on your page.
14) Notice in the UI Model window that the 3 binding controls have been created for you, an iterator, a range and a binding for DepartmentId.
15) Right click on the DepartmentsLovUIModel node in the UI Model window, then create binding, display, and finally attribute. The attribute binding editor will pop up. In the select-an-iterator drop down select the DepartmentsView1Iterator. Now select DepartmentName in the attribute list and then the ok button.
16) Note in the UI Model you now have a new binding called DCDefaultControl. Select this, and in the property palette change the Id to DepartmentName.
17) View the LOV pages source, and change the lovUpdate event as follows:
<event name="lovSelect">
    <compound>
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentId.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentId" />
        <set value="${bindings.DepartmentName.inputValue}" target="${sessionScope}" property="MyAppDepartmentName" />
    </compound>
</event>18) Return to editEmployees.uix source, and modify the lovUpdate event to look as follows:
<event name="lovUpdate">
    <compound>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentId}" target="${bindings.DepartmentId}" property="inputValue"/>
        <set value="${sessionScope.MyAppDepartmentName}" target="${bindings.DepartmentName}" property="inputValue"/>
    </compound>
</event>Thats it. Now when you select a value in your LOV, it will return 2 (multiple!) values.
A couple things to note:
1) In the messageLovInput id field we dont use the .path notation. This is mechanism for returning 1 value from the LOV and is useless for us.
2) Again in the messageLovInput we supply _uixState as an entry in the partialTargets.
3) We are relying on partial-page-refresh functionality to update multiple items on the screen.
Im not going to take the time out to explain these 3 points, but its worthwhile you learning more about them, especially the last 2, as a separate exercise.
One other useful thing to do is, in your messageLovInput, include as a last entry in the partialTargets list MessageBox. In turn locate the messageBox control on your page (if any), and supply an id=MessageBox. This will allow the LOV to place any errors raised in the MessageBox and show them to the user.
I hope this works for you :)
Cheers,
CM.

Thanks Chris,
It took me some time to find the information I needed, how to use return multiple values from a LOV popup window, then I found your post and all problems were solved. Its working perfectly, well, almost perfectly.
Im always fighting with ADF-UIX, it never does the thing that I expect it to do, I guess its because I have a hard time letting go of the total control you have as a developer and let the framework take care of a few things.
Anyway, I'm using your example to fill 5 fields at once, one of the fields being a messageChoice (a list with countries) with a LOV to a lookup table (id , country).
I return the countryId from the popup LOV window, that works great, but it doesn't set the correct value in my messageChoice . I think its because its using the CountryId for the listbox index.
So how can I select the correct value inside my messageChoice? Come to think of it, I dont realy think its LOV related...
Can someone help me out out here?
Kind regards
Ido
