Filtering Prompt Values

Hi,
I have a Year Prompt which shows values from 2000 to 2017 in its dropdown. Can I filter the values in the prompt's dropdown so that it shows from 2010 till Current Year + 1 i.e. 2014 only?

Use sql query something like below for 'SQL Results' at Show in the prompt
Select year from SubjectArea where year<=year(Current_year)
this should restrict as needed.
If helps mark

Can we generate one report tab for each of the prompt values selected in the bobj 4.0 webi report.

can we generate one report tab which filters
with each prompt value selected in bobj 4.0 webi report.

Hi Shrinidhi ,
It can be achievable with static tabs created for each LOV .But this is not recommended because , object values can change dynamically .
It is good idea to use section on prompt object in the report .With sections great feature available is in larger report it’s easy to navigate using map. It displays the section tree.You can select the particular LOV to navigate.

Data Selection for report based upon a 'Prompt Value'

I want to report information in my report based upon a 'user input prompt value'
for example:
'Enter Shareholder Selection - A-Active, I-Inactive, B-Both Active and Inactive'
if the user enters 'A', the report selects only active shareholders
if the user enters 'I', the report selects only inactive shareholders
if the user enters 'B' the report selects all shareholders, active and inactive
the field in the database that this based upon is their total share value.
if this field is greater than zero (>0) they are considerd 'active'
if this field is equal to zero (=0) they are considered 'inactive'.
I have tried creating some type of filter, but am not having any luck.
I saw a few examples within the forums that I have tried without any luck....unfortunately most of the examples I've seen are base one only two choices.
I'm sure I need to create some type of 'independant varible' but am not sure how to do that either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Daryl,
I Tried this unsuccessfully in DESKI . We can't Eliminate Rows having Empty Measure Values or Measure with 0 as values using Table Level Filter as FIlter can't FIlter rows based on Prompt value selection dynamically. Filters filter rows at a time and not based on 3 condition as Active, Inactive and Both. thus filters are of no use.
I Tried this in WEBI, and it is working perfectly you donu2019t have to create any Object in Universe, you can do it using function UserResponse() at report level.
Hence if you are comfortable using WEBI for Generating this report then Follow the steps.
1. Create Report With Name and Shares Object. It will display all Shareholder Names and No.of shares they hold.
2. Use Status Object in Query filter, use condition as u201CEqual Tou201D and Select prompt. It contains Active, Inactive and Both as values.
3. Report will Display all Shareholder names and No. of shares like 45, 789, 0, 4562 where 0 is inactive Shareholder and all other are active shareholder.
4. Create Variable using Formula.
=If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Active" And [Shares]>0;[Shares];If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Inactive" And [Shares]<=0;[Shares];If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Both";[Shares])))
5. Remove Shares Object from the report and Put Variable created with Names of Shareholders.
6. Select Table-> Properties-> Display-> Uncheck the Option u201CShow Rows with Empty Measure Valuesu201D
7. Report will display Value correctly as per your Prompt value selection.
I Hope this Helpsu2026

Opening Dashboard Page in New Window While Passing Prompt Values

Hi,
Currently it is not possible to open a dashboard page in a new window AND have the prompt values from a prior page pass to this page. I see one or the other can be accomplished but not both. Is there a way this can be acheived somehow or is there a workaround for this?

You are correct. The "Link or Image" object does not pass the dashboard prompt values, though it allows the destination dashboard to be opened up in a window.
Here is a workaround.
1) Place the link in a "Guided Nav. Link" object and set the destination dashboard and desired report. With the prompt set up correctly (i.e., dashboard scope, set to PV, destination report column filtered to receive the PV), the destination report will be filtered on the prompt as desired.
2) I noticed (and maybe this is why you wish the "new window"), there is no "return" link on the destination report. To fix this, in the destination dashboard, add a Text object to the dashboard. In the properties, paste the code below and make sure to check off "Contains HTML markup." This will produce a "Return" button on the dashboard.
<input type="button" value="Return" onclick="history.back();">
Now, when the user selects the prompt and clicks on the link, the prompt is passed to your second dashboard. When the user wishes to return, he/she can click on the "Return" button and return to the primary dashboard.
HTH,

Showing prompt value in report - Need Urgent help

Hi All,
I have created a query that has a prompt (it is not the dashboard prompt) that has " in Between" operator. It is on date column. When i am generating report by passing the prompt value the data is coming properly.
I have downloaded the report in excel format and it is coming perfect. But i am not able to provide the data that he has selected in the prompt.
Like on top of page i need to show - The report is genrated for Date1 to Date2.
And then the data.
Thanks in advance for any clue. I am not able to figure out how to do this.
Thanks
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
It seems it's possible, but not with the Filters view... but with Narrative View....
If you have Calendar Date (which contains all dates till today) column in your model, then... if you want to show only the date prompt values on top even though you have all other prompts...
For above mentioned criteria... you can't show only one date using filters view...
Now... go with Narrative View,
In that particular report add Calendar Date column 2 times...
On one column apply Max(date) and on another column apply Min(Date)....
Hide those...
Now note down the positions of these above 2 columns in criteria... say 6 & 7... respectively...
Now you write in narrative view...
Selected Date between @ and @6
So... based on the dates you selected.. the calendar date populate with the values and would hold the max and min i.e. what... selected values of your prompts...
So by using this.. you can only show.. one prompt.... not all the prompts which you have...
May helpful to you when you have .. Calendar Date only... remember ;)
Thanks & Regards

Setting a Prompt value for KeyDate in WebI on SAP OLAP universe

I have a webi report which has as its dataprovider a query against an SAP olap universe against a BEx query which has the KeyDate parameter exposed.
Iu2019d like to get at this prompt from the SDK.
In infoview if I run the report it pulls up the keydate prompt (a special dialogue which seems to be implemented as part of the connection definition) - this prior to pulling up the full prompts dialogue and showing all universe based @prompt filters. In WebI I can see the prompt value entered using =UserResponse("dp.kd.value") . So it does seem to see the keydate as a prompt of some sorts.
I've got a little jsp that allows me to set prompts very nicely (and packeaged as a jar in the CMC that schedules ok as well) but when I put it against a report with a key date u201Cpromptu201D it just wonu2019t see it. When I call a getCount() as below it returns 0.
oDocumentInstance.getDataProviders().generateQueries();
Prompts oPrompts = oDocumentInstance.getPrompts();
out.print(oPrompts.getCount());
This is all in an attempt to get around the scheduler limitations of key date which would give me two queries, two universes and two reportsu2026 one report for scheduling (using a customer exit to set key date) and a second for user refresh (with a prompted key date) which would all be rather messey to say the least!
So any cunning ideas on how I can get hold of this key date thingymebob in the SDK?
(ps. "Fixed in V4" would be nice to hear as an aside to thisu2026 In playing with the ramp up Iu2019ve got the same issues however so Iu2019m not to hopefull )
Thanks!
Jeremy.

Hi,
First I think you have to create a support ticket because normally the object in the universe must be generated with data data type nad it is not the case.
We are awere of some limitations with data types.
Secondly, if you want to have users entering date you have to specify date in the prompt data type like this:
<OPTIONAL><FILTER KEY="[PERIOD SD].[DB Full Date].[DB Full Date]"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT CAPTION="@Prompt('Enter Date ','D',,mono,free)"></CONSTANT></CONDITION></FILTER></OPTIONAL>

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.
Also check this one:

Automating Prompt Values in Publication

Hi
Hello,
Is there a way to automate prompt values when creating publications? We have tried publication dynamic recepients bursting, but there is a drawback. Prompt values have to be defined upfront. Publication works by setting filters on queried data and creating the reports thereof. Is there a way where through publication or via any method I am able to program the prompt values?
Thx

Hello,
This you can do by personalization in this case we have to set specific prompt each individuals group.
Thanks

WebI showing random value from give prompt value

Dear All,
I have made an universe on top of SAP BW Query.
I have designed webI report on top of that. In that I have "Fiscal Year.Period" as Interval Prompt in WebI not in BW Query and I can't put prompt in BW Query because based on same universe i have other report as well.
I have user cross-tab in Report and in column section I have "Fiscal Year.period".
Now the issue is, when I refresh document, it is asking me to enter From & To Period. I am giving input as example 001.2010 to 012.2010 then it should show me values between 001.2010 to 012.2010 only but instead it is giving me values for 2011, 2007 year as well.
Does anyone have idea why it is happening ?
As per my analysis, during prompt value LOV is by default sorted in Asscending order :
1)V3/001.2010
2)V3/001.2011
etc.
I really appreciate your quick input on this.
Regards,
Rishit

hi ,,
I have tried and understand your scenario....the data thing it having issue with bo .....but resolved by using this notes......

Issue : OBIEE applying default prompt values when pressing return button

Hi All,
On my dashboard, I am showing a summary report. This summary report has a link to detail report. I have provided a link for detail report just below the summary report on dashboard. Following is the issue which I am facing
[1] I run the dashboard for a particular prompt value on the dashboard. Let's say a date value = '1/1/2010'.
(There is no default value for the prompt).
[2] Now my summary report is updated according to the prompt value which I selected.
[3] I click on any value on summary reports and it drill down and recalculated the metrics
[4] Now when I click on the detail report, i get the detail report too ( in a new window). The issue starts from here.
[5] When I click on return link from the detail report page, it takes me back to the summary report page ( I land on the report which I got from step 3)
[6] I click on the return button under the summary report (rememeber I had drilled down) to see the report which i get in step 2
But, when I click on the return button under the summary report, it changes the prompt value too and applies the default value to the prompt and provides me the initial summary report with default promt value. The report which I got in step 2
Whereas what i want is when I click on the return link then I should get the report which I got in step 3.
Why does OBIEE applies the default value when I try to return back to my original summary report. Is this an OBIEE feature or I have some setting issue ?
Hope I have been able to explain the scenario!
Can anyone please reply on this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

hey kart,
the issue is not about going back to the summary report ...the issue is when i click on the return link below the summary report after returning from the detail report ( which opens in a new window) then it takes me to the initial summary report ( which was loaded by default when the dashboard was loaded) with all the default prompt filters whereas my requirement is to go back to the summary report with the filters which users selected from the prompt ....
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ronny

XML Publicher Report Output without Prompt Value

Hello,
I've one report(XML Publisher) which prints various data from PS_JOB,PS_PERSONAL_DATA and some other Performance tables.
The Prompt Values are from a dynamic view which shows the Subordinate employees(emplids and names) of the login employee.
The base query view i created has all the information of all active employees from all Business Unit. Now when i select when employee from prompt table the output values for that particular employee and is ok. But when i don't select anything(no table edit), it is not showing the output of my subordinates but for all the employee. That is Right because i've base report view is for all employees.
Is there any way that if i dont select anything from prompt values i'll get only output of my subordinates only?
Regards!

Thanks. I did try that before but the view didn't build but i don't how today the view built successfully.
But when i tried to run the query with a normal user who's having subordinate the excel output is still blank.

Error while passing prompt value in Column Formula

Hi All,
I have created a dashboard and added a dashboard prompt on that with a presentation variable named "promptdyn" that is basically showing bank names.
Now i want to calculate the market value based on this prompt selection, so i edited the column formula as
"WM FACT Sec"."MARKET VALUE" * EVALUATE('getBankBaseCurrencyValue(%2)' As Double,@{promptdyn},"Industry Type".INSTRUMENT_CCY)
But it is throwing this error:
\nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred.
\nQSError: 22051] The argument number 1 is not referenced in this evaluate expression: getBankBaseCurrencyValue(%2). (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Industry Type".INDUSTRY_NAME, "Industry Type".INDUSTRY_TYPE, "WM FACT Sec"."MARKET VALUE" * EVALUATE('getBankBaseCurrencyValue(%2)' As Double,0,"Industry Type".INSTRUMENT_CCY) FROM WMAdHocReportingBMMSec
I don't know what is wrong here.Here i tried to pass the value of the prompt to the function.
Basically I have created a function in the database with two parameter as "bank name " and "Currency" and calling it with the help of evaluate function.
How could we store the prompt value and pass it to some other function?
Pls help me as it is urgent for me to solve.
Thanks

He Solved.
Just i missed out to write %1,%2 in the evaluate function.
But one thing i need to know that how can we store the value that is selected in a prompt say in dashboard prompt so that it can be used in query. Because i need to select a value first from the prompt and based on that i need to manipulate the values of the other request of the dashboard.
Please Reply.
Thanks

How to parse crystal report query prompt value via url parameters

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
