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

Filter Report based on Apex_item.select_list

I have question for you here.
I have a page where I create some page items with apex_item.select_list_from_query based on a hidden item.
So for example sometimes it creates 3 select lists and another time it creates 2 select lists. That works fine.
But now I want to filter a report dynamically based on the selected values in these select lists.
Does anyone have a solution to do this?

Yes I understand that you have to know more about the table structure. So I translate that part of the datamodel in English for you and you can see it by the url below:
http://i48.tinypic.com/349dp4g.jpg
So it is a many to many relationschip between Article and ArticleOptions and the Values table contains the article id and article option id, who are together the primary key.
And of course the values table contains the corresponding value.
So if you can see in the datamodel a article group can contains multiple articleOptions, therefor I had to create dynamically the select lists based on the number of articleOptions of that group. That works! And thanks to your help I can filter the article list based on the selected value in a select list. But the problem is that when I have 3 select lists I have to filter the report based on the values in the 3 select lists.
For example the first select list is articleOption Colour and contains the values blue,white,black. I select black, the report have to show only the articles who have te colour black. And the second list for example contains the articleOption storage with the values 150gb,250gb,500gb.I select 500gb. The report only have to show articles who contains the colour black and a storage of 500gb.

How to dynamic select based on runtime value ?

how to dynamic select based on runtime value ?
I want to write a select function, which do selecting based on parameters. eg,
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION myfunction
(tableName VARCHAR2, pkName VARCHAR2, pkValue VARCHAR2, requestString VARCHAR2)
RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
BEGIN
select requestString from tableName where pkName=pkValue;
RETURN NULL;
END;
myfunction('users', 'user_id', '100', 'user_name'); it will select 'user_name' from table 'users' where 'user_id' = '100'.
This way could save lots of coding. but it can't pass compiler. how to work out ?
Thanks.

While this may save code, if used frequently it will be ineffecient as all [explicative deleted]. The danger is that it would be used even for repeatable statements.
This mode of operation ensures that every statement [calling the funciton] needs to be reparsed, which is extremely expensive in Oracle (in CPU cycles, recursive SQL and shared pool memory).
Such reparsing is rarely a good thing for the environment ... it could easily lead to buying more CPU (bigger box) and therefore adding more Oracle license ... which could quickly exceed the typical developer's salary.
However - if you really, really want to do this, look up 'execute immendiate' in the PL/SQL manuals.

How can I use a report as a filter that accepts a prompt value in R18?

In R17 the following setup worked properly. 1) have a main report that uses another report as a filter report. 2) In the filter report, add a criteria statement which is prompted. 3) pass an argument from a web link or embedded web applet on the report URL using the field reference from the filter report criteria prompt. However, in R18 this no longer works. The filter report does not bring back a set of id's that is used for filtering the main report. The main report just displays all records as if there is no filter criteria supplied. Has anyone else encountered this behavior in R18?

I'm trying to figure out how I can use a simple class
I have written with methods and properties in Sutdio
Creator.
I have been looking around, but I've only found how
to use an EJB directly from Creator. We would like to
use a bean that handles all the connections to the
app server and only returns the result to the JSP.
I know there has to be a way to do this, if anybody
has any ideas please help!I'm not sure I follow 100%, but you can use POJOs via Spring integration. Do a search on this forum for Spring and you should find a tutorial I wrote on it a while back.

Don't have to run the report for no prompt value

Hi,
The requirement is that I need to create a report which is more of a search report kind of thing. So on the dashboard we need to show only prompts. The users would choose any prompt and run the report.....now the issue is....that when no prompt values is selected and user hit the GO button ..i need to show a message saying "Please select any value" ...how to do that ..
I have already refered kishore's blog on guided navigation to implement this ..but the issue which I am facing is that my intermediate report is taking too much time (almost 10 mins) to come back with values and then my actual report shows the message thorugh No results view ...but i need to load the messsage to the dashboard in not more that 1 mins ...how to do that .....
any help would be much appreciated ....
Thanks
Ronny

Thanks Kishore, but I have already refered your blog and implemented this approach as I have mentioned above, however, the issue is that my intermediate report in which I am using the dummy filter is taking too much time to run ...like 10 mins...so guided navigation doesn't work properly ....I have almost 15 prompts so it is taking time ..is there any other work around ?
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.

Need to supress main report based on shared value comes from subreport

Hi,
I have a database that is used in both main report and subreport. On main report I have column a,b ,c, d,e,f to display in detail section, the subreport (column c, g,h etc) is also displayed on detail section, the link between main report and subreport is column a,b and a formula based on the value of c. So the link is within one database, some records link with other records and display both matching records on one line(especially column c shows one value in main report and another value in subreport). That's why I need subreport and I can display the report correctly.
Here is my question: if one record in main report couldn't find a match in subreport (subreport is blank), then I would like to show this record; if one record in main report does find a match in subreport, I don't want it to show(need to be supressed). I can define a shared variable to flag whether the subreport is blank or not, but this shared variable has to be placed under the section of subreport in main report and I don't know how to supress the upper detail section with subreport in it.
Any help would be appreciated!
Helen

Hi
In this case you need to insert the same sub report twise.
Example :
Detail a--Insert the sub report and go in sub report suppress all sections and using shared variables bring the value to main report.
Detail b -- based on detail a sub report suppress the main report records
Detail c-- Your actual sub report will display the values.
Note : use the same links for your detail 'a' sub report which you are using for detail 'c' sub report.
Thanks,
Sastry

How to make reports based on Data block work on web?

I am using form 6i and oracle 9ias
I have successfully call the common reports from the form on the web using run_report_object, then web.show_documnet(..);
But when it come to the reports based on the data block from the form, it doesn't work. it always fetch all the records from the table which the data block is based
Anyone can tell me how to make that work?
thanks

I have successfully do this when I am running forms and >reports in localhostTell me how did you achieve this?
Did you have both Reports and Forms running under same oracle home?
and off course was it a clinet server architecture?
What version for Form and Reports did you use?
Which executables did you use and what was your call from forms? When you call from Forms, which Reports executable use to run the report?
The data integration can only be achive if both the product were running under same Oracle home and were in client server architecture. I do not think data integration is possible in web architecture.
Thanks

How to hide section based on prompt selection

OBIEE and mapviewer - zoom in map based on prompt value

Hi All,
Does anybody know if it's possible to zoom in the map, based on the value selected in a dashboard prompt?
I.e. if you select a FL in the prompt can it somehow zoom into Florida?
I think this was possible in 10g with some added java script....howabout in 11G?
Regards
Hakan

Hi,
Dynamic control of widths and heights are unfortunately not available in the 10g versions. There are some very cool enhancements to displaying charts in 11g so check these out.
What you could do is have the Chart View with multiple column and height widths. Here's what I mean:
1) Build the chart and have the default widths and heights.
2) Duplicate this view to create Chart:2 and in this view change the width and height using the General Chart Properties button.
3) Duplicate the view again to creates Chart:3 and once again change the width and height to even larger values.
4) Now build a View Selector and label each Chart View as appropriate, say "Magnification: Small, Maginification Medium, Maginification Large."
The user can then swithch to see which view best displays the columns depending on the choices selected in your prompts.
Yeah, it's not the prettiest or most elegant solution, but it is a simply workaround that doesn't take a lot of space on the dashboard and may work for you since having the ability to change the zoom to an inifinite number of levels is not necessarily a required or good thing even.
FYI..
Re: Zoom by increasing Width
Thanks

Report templates by prompt values

Hi everyone,
For a report due to sturctural changes in templates for 2010 we created new template 'Test2' and For 2009 year it has 'Test1' . Now the issue here is when we display this report with templates on Dashboard user need to select values in prompt and also the type of template for that year.
Eg: if user selects year value =2010 and then he has to select the template type 'Test2' to get report in excact sturuture.
Is their any way where when a user selects year prompt value as 2010 then template has to change to 'Test2'.
Thanks in advance
Regards

Can't you combine them into one template and use a if condition inside to select?
If that becomes two complicated, you may also consider writing the 2 templates as
sub templates and have a template that includes either one depending on the selected
values. Converting a template to a subtemplate requires you to wrap them in a function
but it shouldn't be too hard. In EBS subtemplates are supported in 10g standalone you need
to store them somewhere accessible by a URL. Standalone 11g will support subtemplates as
well as EBS.

How do I format based on the value of the @status attribute?

Example: I use the @status attribute to indicate that a step in a procedure is new or that a paragraph in a concept is new.
For review purposes, I want to format new text as green - preferably a green highlight, but green text will do.
Example: I use the @status attribute to indicate that a step in a procedure has been deleted or that a paragraph in a concept has been deleted.
For review purposes, I want to format new text as crossed out.
Can this be done? If so, where do I set up the formatting for attribute values?
Thanks in advance.
Marsha

Hi Marsha,
If you want the formatting to be "locked in," that is, driven by the EDD, then Lynne's advice is the way to go. If instead it would be sufficient to temporarily color the desired elements as a format override, you could use the AXCM plugin:
http://www.weststreetconsulting.com/WSC_AXCM.htm
This plugin can do any nature of coloring, strikethrough, etc. based on attribute values and other markup. The coloring is applied as a format override and easily removed by a refresh of the EDD. The coloring features were mainly designed for conditional text purposes, but it would work in this case too.
AXCM is completely free. Disclaimer... I own West Street Consulting and this plugin.

How to do running aggr based on prompt value and how to or prompt?

Hello guys
I have some requirements that I have a report that has measures and Months and Date..
1. I have to create dashboard prompts on months and dates in such way that users can select either that want to see monthly sales or daily sales.. So the two prompts should be "or" relationship that point to the same report. If user select month from month prompt, the report will return data at monthly level; if select day on day prompt, it should return data at day level..
2. Doing running sum based on the dates selected from the prompts.
If I select day prompt as between "Feb 12th 2009" and "March 1st 2009", the report should return sales data that is the sum of all sales between "Feb 12th 2009" and "March 1st 2009".. If user select month prompt as between "Nov 2008" and "Feb 2009", the report should show the sum of all the sales from "Nov 2008" and "Feb 2009".
How would I achieve both scenarios?
Any pointer will be greatly appreciated..

Hi.
Maybe you want to have dynamic group by in Answers report by choosing group by part from a dashboard prompt.
So, assume this example in which you have only one dashboard prompt that shows Day or Month character data.
Make dashboard prompt:
edit column formula: 1
control: drop-down list
show:
SELECT case when 1=2 then TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_DESC else *'Day'* end FROM "Normal model"
union all
SELECT case when 1=2 then TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_DESC else *'Month'* end FROM "Normal model"
default to - specified value: Day
set variable - presentation variable: pv_dyn_group_by
label: Group by
Now make report in Answers and we'll use dynamic column for group by depends on our presentation variable (Day or Month):
/* column 1 */
label:
I don't know how to dynamicly change column label (Month or Day) so I put just label Dynamic group by.
column formula:
case when '@{pv_dyn_group_by}' ='Day'
then EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as varchar(20), TIMES.TIME_ID, 'dd.mm.yyyy')
else TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_DESC
end
/* column 2 */
AMOUNT_SOLD
/* column 3 */
RSUM(AMOUNT_SOLD)
Test:
In both cases we get the same result of RSUM in the end. First we group by a TIMES.TIME_ID if we choose 'Day', second by a TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_DESC if we choose 'Month'.
Is that you want to?
So if you want to see month or day values to choose it (between part) you must make second prompt with something like this in show SQL results:
SELECT case when '@{pv_dyn_group_by}{Month}'='Month' then TIMES.CALENDAR_MONTH_DESC end || case when '@{pv_dyn_group_by}{Day}'='Day' then EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' as varchar(20), TIMES.TIME_ID, 'dd.mm.yyyy') end FROM "Normal model" order by 1
The name of the second prompt is: '@{pv_filter}{Month}'
That will display 'Month' or 'Day'. I don't know better solution :-)
Similar is to make a between 2 prompts.
After then you must modify filter in Answers to get OR (between dates ot between months)
