Hiding part of filter view

Hi All,
I have a report where i have some hard coded filters.
For example:
below are the columns of the report
Quarter, Booking_flag, partner id, Amount
and i have hard coded filter : booking_flag = 'Y'
now when i use filter view, i am getting this booking_flag = 'Y' along with prompt filters on dashboard.
Users dont want to see this booking_flag='Y' filter in the filter view but want to see only filters which are applied in the prompts..
so is there a way to hide this hard coded filter and show all other filters which are applied in prompts in filter view?
thanks in advance...

thanks in advance...No, but you can group the filters so "hard-coded" filters are all grouped and the prompt filters are grouped, but separately, with the logican operand "AND" between them. This would visually separate the filters and users and focus on the "group" of prompt filters to see what was chosen.
This might be a "happy compromise" for them.

How to hide filter view calculations in answers in obiee 11g?

Hi,
I have a requirement to hide the "CASE WHEN" statements which are there in the filter view while viewing the report in Dashboard. User dont want to see the calculation part in filter view instead they just want to see the selected dashboard prompt value. For e.g
case when (column name1('column value1' IN '@{Presentation_var}' ) > 0 AND "Table name"."column name2"='column value2') or (column name1('column value1' IN '@{Presentation_var}' ) > 0 AND "Table name"."column name2"='column value2') then "table name"."column name" end
or
case when 2 statement
and
Case when 3 statement
or Case when 4 statement
therefore user wants only the bold text value(table name"."column name) to be displayed only not the calculation at front end.
I can think of Narrative view but how to do that exactly? Please help.
Thanks..

try this, It seemed to have worked for me..
Below was my case statement
(CASE WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value1' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (5,8,9) THEN 1
WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value2' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (11,12,13) THEN 1
ELSE 0 END)=1
I used it as a column in my analysis with the following formula
(CASE WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value1' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (5,8,9) THEN 1
WHEN '@{var_brand}' = 'Value2' and "Compl"."RecTypeId" IN (11,12,13) THEN 1
ELSE 0 END)
and I made a change to the name of the column in the analysis using custom column headings and put it as "Brand"
and now put a filter on this column and filtered it for for the value 1
and my filters view now shows the column Name "Brand" instead of the Case Statement..
See if this process works for you..

Session Variable in filter view error

Hello,
My prompt is defaulted to current 12Weeks. I used session variable in the prompt to capture 12 Weeks (Current Week and Current+12).
so the default value is @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.PERIOD_STDATE']} where PERIOD_STDATE is my session varible.
I am using a filter view to display the filters being applied.
When the user opens a tab, the filter view is throwing error
***The syntax of the expression to be evaluated is invalid.***
***Expression: @{biServer.variables['NQ_SESSION.PERIOD_STDATE']}***
My report is running fine. I just have the date column as prompted in my report request.
When the user hits go button on the prompt then the filter view comes up just fine.
What is that I am doing wrong? Why does the filter view gives result after hitting GO button?
Please help.
thanks,
deep

Hi,
1. Set the default using logical SQL. Select <presentation table>.<presentation column> from <subject area> where <presentation table>.<presentationation column> =valueof(NQ_SESSION.<session variable>)
2. You dont have to write the exact syntax for entering the session variable in the default values. You just need to use the session variable name after selecting the session variable type in the drop down.
Hope this helped/ answered.

How to change the display name in the filter view

Hi,
I have one column "*Year*" and type in case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end.
I add a filter view for it. but when I select, like 2010, it will display"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end" is equal to 2010.
So how can I change it to "Year is equal to 2010"?
Any one have any idea about this?

Anne

Hi David,
About your confuse about"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end".
You can try in your locale.
You will find they are different.
BASED ON THAT you have two table product_d and calendar_d AND they are related by one Fact table.
THEN When you type in
"case when 1=2 then "product_d"."name" else "calendar_d"."year" end"
AND
"calendar_d"."year",
IT WILL SHOW U TWO different RESULTS.
I need to show year which its related product is not null. but I cannot use SHOW->SQL RESULTS->TYPE SOME "WHERE..." because I also need to use "constrain"..
That why I choose to use a case when function..
So, do you have any idea about this?
Regards,
AnneWhy not use two filters in your request? Have something like this:
product_d.name IS NOT NULL
AND
calendar.year IS PROMPTED?
...instead of using a CASE statement? This way you can have both filters show the way they should in a meaningful way.

Format of Filter view

Hi all,
How to change format of filter view in answers? How to remove border line of filter? I have looked in views.css and format of filter is set as
.FilterFirstTable
.FilterTable
border: solid 1px #CCCCCC;
.FilterCell
font-size: 8pt;
border: 0px;
text-align: left;
padding: 2px 4px;
.FilterValueSpan
font-weight: bold;
.FilterOpCell
font-size: 8pt;
font-weight: bold;
vertical-align: top;
top: -6pt;
padding: 2px 0px 2px 4px;
And problem is that I have border line. But when I log on VMWare on samplesales repository the same format is there. But there is no borderline on filter view.
Thanks

Changing the ini files should change the date format. Have you amended the correct instances of the date format? In dbFeatures there is one for every ODBC connection.
For example in my DBFeatures.INI
[ DATA_SOURCE_FEATURE = ODBC_300 ]
DATE_FORMAT = 'dd-mm-yyyy' ;
     TIME_FORMAT = 'hh:mi:ss' ;
     DATE_TIME_FORMAT = 'dd-mm-yyyy hh:mi:ss' ;
     IDENTIFIER_QUOTE_CHAR = '"';Also a file on the presentation side in OracleBI \web\Config called localedefinitions.xml.
Inside that there appears to be defaults for localisations - maybe it is possible to amend your locale in the Administration settings of the dashboard.
However, I haven't tried this sorry.

Reg Filter View in Combined Request OBIEE11g

Hi,
We have a requirement where we need to show the filter view in a combined request. Currently we have achieved the same but putting another request but the issue when the download of the request happens the filter view is not downloaded and it has to be downloaded separately. We are using OBIEE11g(11.1.1.6.9).
Please advise if there is any workaround to achieve this functionality so that download of results and filter view can be achieved in one shot. Thanks.

Dev,
Not possible to use the filter view in union request.Try creating the filters with filter view as a separate request and add them to the dashboard.

however if I click the go button in the prompt I get the value: Term Code Desc is equal to 2030 (2011 Spring)
does anyone have a solution to this issue
thanks

Can we customize the column name in filter view?

When i select filter view and select an option from the drop down, it shows the name of the column and not the variable set in the prompt.
I want to customize that name so that it does not show the column name,shows the name given by us instead.
Please Help!!!

You can't customize the filter view, play around with the narrative view instead.

Customization of filter view in obiee 10g

Hi,
I have a report with chart view and filter view.
We have some implicit filters in the report(static filters).
Is it possible to hide the static filers and display only the selected prompt values(explicit filters/dynamic filters) in the filter view.
Thanks in advance.
Sankat.

Hi,
I dont know if this idea works for your requirement.
Try to have a dummy condition validate the static and the dynamic filters in the reports.
For example-
column_name less than 0
and static filters
OR
column_name greater than 1
and dynamic filters
Hope this helped/ answered

Customize Filter View in OBIEE 11g

Hi,
Is there any way to customize the filter view? My requirement is not to show formulas that are used in Analysis in the “Filter view”. All analysis that we create should go with Filter Views at the bottom and Users should not see the formulas.
Example:
Column Formula:
FILTER (sales.sales USING products.product =’Electronics’)
If I filter the above column, it shows something like this:
FILTER (sales.sales USING products.product =’Electronics’) is Prompted.
What is need to show in the filters is the Title of the column i.e. Electronics Sales.
Thanks in advance.

but my requirment is to show like
"Year = 2010"
how can this be implemented?? Any help?

Filter view for combined request

Hello!
We have 12 requests combined to the single Answer's request using UNION. Each of these 12 requests has a filter. But when we try to display the filter view for the combined request, it says "Request contains no filters". Any ideas how to display the big "combined" filter?
Thank you!

I am assuming that the columns in each of your 12 individual queries are the same and you just have different combinations of filters to produce your final query. If so, try building this using one query and using the OR operand for each set of criteria that corresponds to the 12 different sets of filters. This way the filters will show up in Filter View.
If the columns in the 12 queries are simply the same datatype (minimum requirement), but different, then how would the user know which filter set corresponds to which set of columns since the "final" query will have one name for each column? It would be confusing at best. The only thing I can think of is having 13 queries, 12 individual ones and the one "combined query."
In your dashboard, display the "combined query" in the Compound Layout view in the usual manner. Underneath that query in the design mode of your dashboard. Add the 12 individual queries but only display the "Filter View" of each query.
With just the combined query, nothing will display in Filter View as you surmised.

Edited by: 836776 on Sep 6, 2012 3:59 AMAre you serious? The user cannot handle "Name is equal to xxxx"?? It never ceases to amaze me how much users can find something to complain about. But as an analyst, it is important to manage expectations. Remember that whatever you customize, you must document and maintain so anyone else can support your design. To me, this is a perfect example of telling the user "sorry, this can't be done," rather than try to add anything suggested earlier to try and mimic what the user wants.
This kind of change is not worth the effort to figure out... my two cents... :)
