How to dipsplay value of multi select prompt in Answers

I have a request in Answers that has a multi select column prompt. I can display the value selected in the prompt in the Narative view as long as only one value is selected. When more than one value is selected, how can I display the multiple values selected in the Narative view?
Thanks in advance.
Sandeep

Multi select can not be assigned to Presentation variable (It is greyed out), so you can not get the respective values.

How to Select More then 1000 values in Multi-Select prompt!!!

Hello Users,
I have Scenario where i have to pass all the values from prompt to report and the values in the prompt are coming from session variable, so whatever value access user has the report will run with that only...
Now the question is that Multi-Select Prompt is not able to take more then certain values, so is there any way that we can increase the limit for selected values??
in-short how to increase the limit for selected values in multi-select prompt??
Thanks In Advance!!!

Hey David,
The Scenario is like, we have data level security on "Unit" attribute. now based on the user selection when user logs in he should able to see the report only for those units which he/she has access.
in total we have 1800 units available, now for 5-10 units access is fine, but the question will arise when user will not have only some units access from 1800 units.
because report will not take those values from the multi-select prompt reason is that multi-select prompt is not able to take more then certain values in selected side.
now in multi-select until-unless u have data coming in selected side those values will not pass. so i have kept the sql in default for that prompt.
so when user logs in he will able to see those values in selected side for the multi-select prompt, but when values increase from some level it's going automatically in un-selected side.
i want everything on selected side of multi-select prompt.
Let me know if you need any further details.

I have tried using the <MaxDropDownValues>256</MaxDropDownValues> in instanceconfig.xml. but that's off now use. Is there a seperate parameter that would control the values in multi select prompt?
Kindly help out.

Thanks for your reply, because my colleague gave the same advice this morning and this decision works pretty nice.
The main point is to show which values stored in multi-select prompt for end-user on the dashboard.
If you have other ideas about this issue I will be very curious to know.

How to get the value of multi-select in the Dashboard Prompt

I have a multi-select prompt in the Dashboard Prompt, what I want is, how do I know that user has choose one value,
for examle, for some reasons, if user didn't choose any value, then I will set one column in answer as "customer office" , if user choose one value, then the column in answer will be "customer name".
any comments, thanks.

Hi,
first define the presentation variable for the required column prompt. ex: PV
Then in report level set the filter for that column = @{PV}{customer office}. here u have to give default value as "customer office", so by default the report in dashboard will show customer office even though the user does not select any value from dashboard prompt.
Mark If Helpful/correct.
Thanks.

Limitation for values in Multi Select in prompts?

Hi all...I have a dashboard with a report and a prompt .
I have multi select enabled in prompt. I defaulted that prompt to a single value.
I have 1700 values in multi select. The user wants to select all. When user selected all and hit GO on prompt,
it is not taking all values but still getting defaulted value output of report.
How do I fix this?

Try doing this. Instead of using a dashboard prompt, do this:
1) Add a pivot table to your Compound Layout view (if you already have one, then just modify it as follows.)
2) Duplicate the layer of the "prompt" column and put it in the Pages section.
3) Left click the "sigma sign" in the Pages section of the pivot table and select either "Before" or "After." This will add the "All Pages" option either "before" or "after" the individual values. I recommend "Before" since you have 1700 values.
4) Once more, left click the "sigma sign" in the Pages section of the pivot table, but this time, select "Format Labels." Now you can rename "All Pages" to "All Choices" or whatever you want to call it.

Show selected value from multi-selected parameter in crystal report

Dear Experts!
i would like to ask how to catch selected value from multi-selected parameter to show in report header section.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Dara,
If this is a string prompt then you could simply create a formula with this code and place it on the report header:
Join({?Prompt name},", ")

Combo Prompt Design (with Drop down and Multi-select prompts)

Hi folks,
I have the following prompt design requirement in OBIEE dashboard:
PromptA: should be a drop-down prompt
PromptB: should be a multi-select prompt
PromptB should list the values contained in either of two dimensions (lets say: Product Names and Product Group Names ). Lets define Product Names to be the names of individual products, while the Product Group Names is the names of a predefined collection of certain products.
The string values that should appear in the PromptA then are: Product Names and Product Group Names. Consequent to the selection made in PromptA, values from one of these two dimensions should be dynamically displayed in PromptB. That is, if Product Names is selected from PromptA, then all product names from the Product Names dimension should be listed in PromptB. And if Product Group Names is selected from PromptA, then all product group names from the Product Group Names dimension should be listed in PromptB.
Can anyone tell me how do I relate the above two prompts and have my reports to work accordingly?
regards,
Mahendra

Hi
For this you have to do two dashboard prompt
In promptA:
select one dummy column,
In control dropdown list select dropdown
In show dropdown list select SQL Results
In sql results write the following query
Select case when 1=0 then tabelname.column else 'Tablename.ProductNames' end from subjectarea name
Union all
Select case when 1=0 then tablename.column else 'Tablename.ProductGroupName' end from subject are name
In set variable ->set presentation variable called var1
Saved it as PromptA
In PromptB:
Select one dummy column in that column forumla write @{var1}
but problem with this approach it shows two Go buttons for two prompts to avoide this create custom Go button
for creating custom Go button see this link

Storing the values of multi-select on a presentation variable

I've been asked to present the values selected by a user on a multi-select dashboard prompt as the title for the report. But when you select this option at the time you are creating the prompt, the option to store the values in a presentation variable dissapears, seems that you can only store the value if it comes from a dropdown list ? If anybody knows of a way to accomplish this I would appreciate very much if you can share it.
Thanks,

Multi Select Prompt in BI Publisher

Thanks & Regards,

Hi Sanx
Its what is there today. I believe that multi select will be available via the look up type prompt in the future but for now its what you see is what you get :0(

Multi-select prompt and variable

Hello!
I have a table function (which is my data source) that has a number of input parameters and the problem is with multi-select prompt because it doesn't support setting a value in a variable (OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1.). Can I somehow get a list of selected items from multi-select prompt and pass it as one string (value) to my request variable? Or maybe you have any other idea?
I've searched old posts but I couldn't find solution to my problem regarding this issue.
Tnx a lot!

Hi,

Multi-Select Prompt default prompt should display 'All Choices'

If a multi-select prompt doesn't have a value, it shows as blank, which
technically means "%" ie. all values. Is it possible to display the text 'All Choices' so that users understand that the reports are based on all values of that blank prompt field.
Please suggest,
Thanks.

If we enter the text 'All Choices' as the default to in the prompt then this value is checked against the other values for this column in the table. Eg: - If we want Name to be the multi-select prompt. There is no match for 'All Choices' in the database table and the report does not return any rows. We need a functionality similar to the one available for drop-down list control. For drop-down control OBIEE by default offers the option 'All Choices' which in the query is used as %. In drop down we can only select one name at a time or All. The user needs to have the flexibility to either select multiple names or select an option All Choices which will return all results.
Any suggestions on this.
Thanks.

Nic, for me the iTunes window looks like this, when I connect my iPad 3:
I select the iPad in the "devices" section of the Sidebar (use: "View > Show Sidebar" if the sidebar is hidden).
Click the "Apps" tab in the "Devices" pane.
Scroll all the way down in the Devices pane to "File Sharing" "Apps" section.
Then do I click "GarageBand" to select the documents in the right panel.
Which part is different for you? Perhaps you could post a screenshot?
