Hide entire column based on presentation variable?

Has anyone ever tried to do this? If user selects all records from prompt i want to display analysts assigned to those records. If user selects specific analyst i don't want to display analyst column. I know i can null out or show analyst based on presentation variable but what about hide entire column?
If this is not possible has anyone tried to use conditional formatting to hide entire column?

Try this:
0) Create a dashboard prompt on "analysts" and check the "All Choices" checkbox. Set the prompt to a presentation variable.
1) Create a small report with two columns, one column will be your analyst column, the other will be a column which houses MAX(RCOUNT(1)) in the Edit Column formula window (what you get when you press the fx button). Put another filter on the analyst column set to the presentation variable with one of the analysts as the default.
2) Put a filter on the the MAX(RCOUNT(1)) column "greater than 1"
3) Create two copies of your actual report, one which has the analyst column, one without.
4) Now in your dashboard you will need three sections, one for your prompt, one for the "with column" report and one for the "without column" report.
5) In the Section Properties of the "with column" report, click on "Guided Navigation" and navigate to the small report you created in step one. Set this section to display "if request returns rows." Don't forget the filter on this report set to the presentation variable.
6) In the Section Properties of the "without column" report, click on "Guided Navigation" and navigate to the small report you created in step one. Set this section to display "if request returns nothing." This report will not need a filter on the analyst prompt, because by definition it will display all analysts.
Now when "all choices" is selected on the prompt, the second report displays in the dashboard, and when a single analyst is selected, then the first report will display with the analyst column.

Dispaly or Hide a column based on Prompt Value

Hi All,
How can I Display or Hide a Column based on Prompt Value selected?
On my dashboard I have a Report/Request and a Dashboard Prompt.
Dashboard Prompt has three values, say: *'A', 'B' and 'C'*.
And my report/request has three columns named *'Field1', 'Field2'* and Field3'.
What I am trying to achieve is that whenever user selects prompt values as *'A' or 'B'* all the three fields on my report named *'Field1', 'Field2' and Field3'* should be displayed, however whenever user selects prompt values as *'C'* only fields named *'Field1' and 'Field2'* should be displayed.
Thanks,
Deepak

Hi Bhavna,
I tried using View Selector, however I am not able to achieve the required functionality with that.
I created a Request with 3 columns in it, then I switched to criteria and added another table to that. The new table automatically got the similar 3 columns used in the first report. Now when I tried to delete one of those columns from the new report, it also got deleted from the first report.
All the views are dependent, changes made to one are reflected in other.
Can't figure it out, where am I going wrong?
Thanks,
Deepak

     if(null != tablesithValue.getcountrycode)
     if(tablesithValue.getcountrycode.equalsIgnoreCase("Japan"))
          wdContext.currentxxxxElement.setCountry_Column_Visible(WDVisibility.NONE);

Sorting columns dynamically using Presentation Variables

Hi,
I have 4 measures say A,B,C,D , a period dimension and branch name dimension. I would like to select the measure in the prompt and the result should display rank for the selected measure using presentation variables. For eg: If measure-A is selected, the result should be arranged in order by based on "A".
Is it possible to sort the columns dynamically?
Kindly help me.
Regards,
RB

Hi RB,
You can do that, though it's a bit more complicated than a simple SQL statement. For example:
WITH BASEDATA AS (
SELECT
EMPNO,
ENAME,
MGR,
SAL,
COMM,
CASE WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 1 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY UPPER(ENAME))
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 2 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR))
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 3 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR), UPPER(ENAME))
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 4 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY UPPER(ENAME) DESC)
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 5 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR) DESC)
WHEN :P4_SORT_ORDER = 6 THEN
    ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY (SELECT NVL(MIN(UPPER(E2.ENAME)),'-Select-') FROM EMP E2 WHERE E2.EMPNO = EMP.MGR) DESC, UPPER(ENAME) DESC)
END SORTITEM,
'O' STATUS
FROM
EMP
SELECT
EMPNO,
ENAME,
MGR,
SAL,
COMM
FROM
BASEDATA
ORDER BY
SORTITEMUsing a CASE statement this assigns a ROW_NUMBER to every record based on its ordering within the selected ORDER BY clause. The output is then sorted by this value.

Unresolved column when using presentation variable in Answers filter

Hi all,
I'm using a dashboard prompt that sets a presentation variable - pres_year. I'm using the presentation variable in a request's filter.
In the 'Criteria' tab, in the filter for the request, I set a year column (YEAR) to the presentation variable via Variable Expr and enter the presentation variable name only. End up with:
YEAR is equal to / is in @{pres_year}
When using the dashboard, the prompt and request all work fine. The problem is when I'm in the request in Answers and I click on 'Display Results' button. I get the following error:
'NQSError: 27005 unresolved column pres_year'
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I got same error, if i'm using SQL Expression, instead of variable expression in filter section.
make sure that you followed this:
filter on year > Add > Variable > Presentation. Then, give the presentation variable name (which you defined in dashboard prompt) in Variable Expr field , click OK
getting same error when using:
Filter on year column > Add > SQL Expression > presentation variable. This is not right place to give presentation variable.
and, error i got:
*State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005]* Unresolved column: "var_Year". (HY000)
so, make sure that you are suing the right one..

KPI Target based on Presentation Variable

Using OIEE 11g 11.1.1.6.2 on a Windows XP machine
I've created a KPI and also a watchlist. Added the watchlist to a dashboard that contains a Variable Value prompt. What I want is for the user to enter a target value and for that to be used within the KPI. So the variable is named KPITarget. I edited the KPI and changed the Target Value to be @{KPITarget}{90}. When I open the dashboard it uses the default of 90 for the KPI target. So then I enter a new value in the prompt and click Apply. The watchlist quickly refreshes (should take longer like it does when first opening), but does not change the Target value.
Is there something I'm missing or do they not really work with Presentation variables even though they allow you to enter one?
I tried using a Repository variable and that works fine, but that does not give me the ability to have the user change the target.
Any suggestions of advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

Hi,
I am using 11.1.1.5
Even my requirement is similar to yours where the target value needs to be refereshed based on the user inputs.
But the KPI does not refresh the target value.
please let me know how did you overcome your problem.

Dashboard Prompt -- One Column Setting Multiple Presentation Variables

Hi everyone,
I've been playing with dashboard prompts, trying to get a deeper understanding of how the function.
I created three dashboard prompts, all on the same column, account number. Each prompt defaults to a different value i.e. 1,2 and 3 respectively. Each prompt sets up a different presentation variable. PVAR1, PVAR2 and PVAR3 respectively.
I created a report that referenced the three variables i.e. '@{PVAR1}', '@{PVAR2}', '@{PVAR3}'.
I put all three prompts and the one report in a dashboard.
When I view it, all of the prompts have the same value, value 2, however, only PVAR3 is setup. PVAR1 and PVAR2 are blank.
Why aren't all three presentation variables set to the same value? Why is only one populated?
Thanks for the help!
-Joe

Hi Joe,
Thanks for posting this interesting question, I played around and found the same issue.
This is my finding and hoping that this makes sense, The PV variables are set only when you hit a Go button. As there are 3 prompts in the question and all the prompts are build on the same column hence the values of the columns are the same, but only one variable is set. In my opinion the last prompt which got executed.
I tried the similar thing with one more prompt with one Go button and VAR1 and VAR2 values got set but VAR3 was still black. But the 2 prompts had the same values.
I believe since its the same column on which these prompts are build hence the issue of setting the values.
Hope this helps,

Between-Filter on Column using calculated presentation-variable values

Hello everyone,
i'd like to know whether it is possible to filter a column with a Between-Statement using two calculations done on a single presentation variable in Oracle BI Answers
What i have:
- OBIEE 10g
A line-chart, which shows earnings over a period of several years: In 1999 it might be 100.000€, in 2000 it might be 80.000€,..., in 2009 it might be 95.000€ and so on.
What i want:
Now i'd like to create a dashboard prompt to be able to choose a certain year, for example 2006.
The chart then should show data for the year given (2006...) and two years before(2004, 2005) and two years after the chosen year(2007,2008).
Example:
If 2006 is chosen, then data from 2004 to 2008 should be shown in the chart
If 2000 is chosen, then data from 1998 to 2002 should be shown in the chart.
What i did:
- I created the Prompt, set its presentation variable to var_year.
- I then created a filter on my years-column, choosing "Between" from the DropDown-List.
- I added two 'Variable-fields within the filter-dialogue', each filled with var_year and a default value.
- I tried to add a +2 or -2 to the variable-expression field, but (ofcourse) got an error.
Thanks in Advance and greetings from Germany,
Chris

Sorry for not answering to your Posts yesterday.
I have to admit that i was unable to solve my problem, although the solutions posted, seemed to be quite promising.
Hammett81's solution
First, I gave Hammett81's solution a try and created a filter group using the 'Add filter' option/dialogue box.
This Filtergroup consists of 5 single filter expressions, which have been connected by ORs:
The way i created those filters:
In the 'Create/ Edit Filter' i've chosen 'is equal/ is in' - Operator.
Then i was given the chance to add a 'value' or to add 'Variable --> Presentation', which summons 2 textboxes (Variable Expression and Default)
Everything i put into the variable expression field will be put into the @{} bracket by OBIEE, after clicking ok.
So it is not possible to use +1, +2, -1,-2 etc. within this field, as this would lead to @{var_year +2} for example, which ofcourse does not match the presentation variable's name.
On the other hand, if i do not use a Variable Expression but a "Value field", then i can write @{var_year} +2 for example.
In my opinion, obiee wants to use the expression as a simple value though, rather than use it as a variable and therefore won't check the presentation variables value, when it tries to filter the data.
John's solution
Regarding Johns answer, i am not sure where to put the filter expression. Should this be added into the SQL-Query (Advanced-Tab) or do i have to add it within the columns formula? (fx)

My requirement: if I'm selecting Date parameter value as '2013-xx-xx' I should only able to see Year column 'Calender2013' and rest of the years should hide. Similarly If I'm selecting Date parameter value as '2014-xx-xx' I should only able to
see Year column 'Calender2014' .
Appreciate your kindly help.
Afan

Hi Afan,
According to your description, you want to only show the selected year on your report, right?
In this case, you need to get the year from the date parameter using the expression below
=Year(Parameters!Date.Value)
And then use the expression below to get the year from Year_Name field.
=Right(Fields!Year_Name.Value,4)
Then add a filter to the dataset to filter the data like below
Expression:=Year(Parameters!Date.Value)
Operator:=
Value:=Right(Fields!Year_Name.Value,4)

In the drop down list I have the following choices: "IN" , "OUT".
What is happening is, when i am selecting "IN", the columns are being hidden/displayed as should be. But when I am selecting "OUT", the approprite columns are not being hidden/displayed.
Please find below the code:
////////////////-----Code Starts here----/////////////
$(document).ready(function(){
// ----- Hide the field at the begin if the default value is other.
// Get a single select dropdown field
var countryField = SPUtility.GetSPField('Correspondence Type');
var countryFieldValue = countryField.GetValue();
// Hide the City field if the selected value is Other

The issue is in this statement else
if($("select[Correspondence Type']").val() == 'OUT')
It should be
else if($("select[title='Correspondence Type']").val() == 'OUT')

How to (un)hide report columns based on checkboxes?

Hello,
I have a simple report that selects 4 columns from a table.
I would like to create 2 check boxes (at the report level, not at the row level) corresponding to 2 of the 4 report columns: When they are checked, the corresponding columns are visible. When they are unchecked, the corresponding columns are NOT visible.
Two questions:
1.
This would require submitting the page automatically upon (un)checking either check box. How do I do that?
2.
I have attempted to use the Conditional Display properties of the report columns with hard coded values, but they don't seem to work whether the Show property of the columns is on or off. Any idea why and how to get around it? (I am using 3.2. Could this be a bug that has been fixed in 4?)
Thanks!
Gabor

Hi,
I can not find post where I have explain how sample works.But here it goes:
You need load jQuery in page template or page HTML header if you are not using Apex 4.
Create new blank page. In my case new page id is 70.
Create HTML region to new page called Columns. Use wizard defaults
Create hidden item Px_REPORT_REGION_NAME. Use wizard defaults.
In my case hidden item name is P70_REPORT_REGION_NAME .
Create computation before header for hidden item. Computation Type "Static Assigment".
In computation write name you like use to your report. My case I did write "Employee report".
Create SQL Report. In region title place your hidden item like
&P70_REPORT_REGION_NAME.In my case I did use query
SELECT *
FROM empCreate check box. In my case it is called P70_SHOW_HIDE.
Use from LOV query
SELECT heading,
display_sequence
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_RPT_COLS
WHERE application_id = :APP_ID
AND page_id          = :APP_PAGE_ID
AND column_is_hidden = 'No'
AND region_name        = '&'||'P70_REPORT_REGION_NAME'||'.' -- Change P70_REPORT_REGION_NAME to your hidden item name
ORDER BY 2Place to report region footer
<script type="text/javascript">
function hideCol(pThis){
   var lRepId = '#report_data_#REGION_ID#';
   var lCol   = pThis.value;
   if(pThis.checked){
     $(lRepId + ' td:nth-child(' + lCol + ')').show();
     $(lRepId + ' th:nth-child(' + lCol + ')').show();
   }else{
     $(lRepId + ' th:nth-child(' + lCol + ')').hide();
     $(lRepId + ' td:nth-child(' + lCol + ')').hide();
</script>Edit checkbox item and place to HTML Form Element Attributes
CHECKED onclick="hideCol(this);"Your report template most inner table tag must have id attribute
id="report_data_#REGION_ID#"Then you have result like this

Hide columns based on Authorization

Experts,
   In a report i would like to hide few columns based on the authorization, only few users should be able to see
   these columns but rest of the users should be able to view the report but not these columns. these columns
   should either not visible on the report or display ****** for the data of these columns.
   I tried to create authorization object in RSECADMIN but the problem is if a user doesn't have this
   authorization he cannot even view the report it display the message "No Authorization".
   any suggestions/help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Geni,
You have two choice.
1. Override the column value to **** using virtual characteristics code
Assign a role to users who has authorization to see the columns
In Virtual charachteristics code, read table AGR_USERS table based on the sy-uname
If the role that is assigned for the columns is found do nothing, else overwrite it with ****
2. Create a User exit variable, in the variable code read the authorization of the user like above
If the role found assign 1 else assign 0.
Create a formula in the columns area and multiply your column value with the user exit variable value.
Suppress zero columns using the query properties.
Good luck,
Vijay

Looping thru column names based on a variable value

I have an ArrayCollection with a series of columns named
price1, price2... thru to price10
I'm trying to loop thru these columns based on a variable
value, but can't figure the syntax:
for (var column:int = 1; column < 11; column++){
testPrice = myGrid.selectedItem.price(column); <-- this
doesn't work
}

Try testPrice = myGrid.selectedItem["price" + column];
Remember to test that selectedItem isn't null before you try
to assign the values.

OBIEE 11g: Use presentation variable in Column Heading

Hi everyone,
I was playing around with sample app dashboards and I saw a dashboard prompt that they converted into a column selector. I liked it and reproduced it in my own sandbox.
I like the results, however, I would also like to change the column heading to clearly reflect which measure was selected. It's pretty clear when you are looking in the dashboard, but once you export the data, it can be confusing which measure was selected.
That is why I would like to use a presentation variable in the column heading section. I tried to do this but it interpreted it as a literal instead of evaluating the statement.
Is there anyway to get a variable in the column heading?
Thanks!
