How to get a "char variable" with presentation variable???

I want to pass a char variable with presentation variable, I don't have problems if I pass "int".
For example in answers page I add a column that contains years of my dimension. 2000 until 2012 and prompted my presentation variable "year" (from my dashboard prompt) and when I go to dashboard if I choose in my prompt 2006 in my report appear 2006...any problem and easy. But my problem is if I would pass a char variable, in my prompt also I have months but not numbers else names: January, February, March...and a presentation variable that name is "month". If I do the same report but change column year to month (name) I don't have any results and I have an error.
How can I solucionate this???
Thank you!!

Alex,
Do you have separate columns for Year and Month Name. If Yes, Then why it is so confusing?
1. create a dashboard prompt with month name column
2. Assign it to monthname variable
3. In your report use above variable any where.., but what ever you are doing should be logical and valid to get some data.
In general above approach will work.
You said, "No! I don't want to do a filter with month! I would like to pass this variable, in this example don't make sense but I need to pass a char variable with presentation variable to do another things..."
what does that mean, what you are trying to do with the variable in your report. If you give a example that would be better.

How to get all the values of a variable with F4 with checkboxes to select

Dear Experts,
After Executing a query by giving let 3 values(Out of 10 Values) to a variable.
To give 2 more input values to the same variable(i.e.,total I wanted to give 5 inputs this time ),after refreshing the query,for that variable if I click F4, I am seeing the historical values(i.e.,3) and remaining 7 values also But with out any Check Boxes besides them to select the 2 inputs.
In the same F4 Screen, If I click all values(an Icon at The bottom),then also Im seeing but no check Box.
I hve tried by deleting the Delete Personalization also,but no use.
Please tell me How to get all the values with F4 with check boxes to select ,whatever I want??
Thanks in advance

Take a look at the InfoObject and go to the Business Explorer tab. If the 'Query Def. Filter Value Selection' is set to 'Only Values in InfoProvider', you're only going to get the values in F4 that exist in the InfoProvider, not everything in the Master Data. This would need to be changed to the value of 'Values in Master Data Table' if you want it to show everything possible when F4 is chosen.
Likewise, you're going to need to look at the query and go to the Advanced tab for the InfoObject. Make sure that the radio button for 'Values in Master Data Table' is selected. If not, then you should change that selection.

Filtering with presentation variable in my report

Hi experts,
I'm using Essbase with Obiee 11g.
I have entity dimension like this:
Gen1, Entity
Gen2, Entity
Gen3, Entity...
Each Gen is a hierarchy.
I have a prompt in my dashboard that is a number: 1, 2, 3... with presentation variable = num
When prompt was number 3 I need to filter with Gen2, Entity.. if is number 2 with gen1, entity.. Always -1
In my report I can general filter like this: Gen@{num}, Entity and I see report OK, My requeriment is @{num}*-1* like: Gen@{num}, Entity but I have an error...
Can I do this??
Thanks!!!

You need to get the number using substring, substract it and then concat to the string "Entity"."Gen
There is another way for the same, Based on the value from prompt can validate the column to show in the report.
Try this scenario:
I've a prompt Time.Week
in the report I've picked two columns,
Column1: Time.Week--> set to isprompt
Column2: with exp
CASE WHEN Time.Week = '2012 Week01' THEN Time."Month Name" ELSE Time."Month" END
I've used existing columns to mimic your scenario

How to auto create a global variable with specific variable name in a global vi ?

how to auto create a global variable with specific variable name in a global vi using lv ? Because i need to add a lot of global variable in this global vi. But you know, if i manually add them , it will be a much time-costing work. So i want to use someway to auto generate ? Can i ?? Thanks a lot !

Hi
what aartjan is saying is the way for you. but you can develop an utility which will actually help you create global variables. To get the details on this just have a look at VI Scripting section on LAVA forum.
But i would like you to suggest few things
1. If your programs have so many global variables (Thats why u want utility) then you should take out some time to read about LabVIEW design patterns. I think if programmer follows these practicess he dont need a single global variable.
2. Their are some other ways to achieve similar functionality as of global variables (Uninitialized Shift Registers, Single Element Qs and so on) but they are much faster than global variables.
I am Attaching Whatever Resources i am having I will also attach the template of the design pattern i generaly use in short duration

Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled on mountain lion?

I'm trying to use speech recognition to input text on my iMac running the latest mountain lion, 10.8.3.
I have sticky keys enabled.
When I try to start speaking by pressing the function key twice nothing happens. I can only get it to work if I disable sticky keys.
The same problem occurs with all the other modifier keys as shortcut, they do not work with sticky keys.
When I try to select a different shortcut, I am unable to select a two key combination, but am limited to one.
If I select the F6 key, or any other single key, I am able to start speech recognition. However the second time that I press the key, it does not stop recognition and process my words. Instead, it restarts the recognition.
Has anyone figured out how to get speech recognition working with sticky keys enabled?
Or a way to get an individual key shortcut to start on the first press and process it on the second?
Or a way to get key combinations to work, as specified by the help:
Dictation On and Off
To use Dictation, click On.
When you’re ready to dictate text, place the insertion point where you want the dictated text to appear and press the Fn (function) key twice. When you see the lighted microphone icon and hear a beep, the microphone is ready for you to speak your text.
Shortcut
By default, you press the Fn (Function) key twice to start dictation. If you like, you can choose a different shortcut from the menu.
To create a shortcut that’s not in the list, choose Customize, and then press the keys you want to use. You can press two or more keys to create your shortcut.

I noticed with version 10.8.4 of OS X that I am now able to select F6 to activate, and the return key to complete the speech recognition. This is still different than the description of how these should function that's included in the help, but at least it's an improvement.

How to subtract a day from the presentation variable @{system.currentTime}

Hello,
How can subtract a day from the presentation variable - @{system.currentTime}
I use the above as a title in the report. However I want to subtract a day from the above variable. How can I accomplish it?
Thanks.

Hi,
Did you try the steps which I mentioned above. You can use TIMESTAMPADD function in many places in your report but I think not in title section of the title view.
Also you can try using Narrative view instead of title view to achieve this. Follow below steos:
* Pull another column in the report and change its fx to TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -1, @{system.currentTime})
* Now go to the Narrative view and add the below text in Narrative section of the view.
Active Person Report as of @1
Here @1 assuming the new column created is placed before all the columns in the request.
* Also set the 'Rows to Display' as 1.
* Delete Title view from the report and this narrative view on top of your report.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

How to get a minus sign with the cost field in ALV.

Hi ,
How to get a minus sign with the cost field in ALV.
The Ouput will be displayed like Rs -1500 instead of 1500-
I can't use concatenate also as i may have to use the sum functionality of ALV .
Cheers
Sunny

Hi sunny,
1. The OTHER FIELD
has to be character field of say length 15.
2. Write the original numeric value to
this character field (in a loop)
3. But simply writing won't help.
4. use this kind of logic.
5.
REPORT abc.
DATA : m TYPE i.
DATA : chr(15) TYPE c.
m = -100.
WRITE m TO chr.
IF m < 0.
SHIFT chr RIGHT BY 1 PLACES.
CONDENSE chr.
CONCATENATE '-' chr INTO chr.
ENDIF.
WRITE chr.

Issue with presentation variables, dashboard prompt and filter

Dear Guru's,
I have a question about constraining a request with presentation variable set by a dashboard prompt. I have a dashboard prompt, that stores its value in a presentation variable . The prompt is about region. When the dashboard opens, the default of the prompt is all choices and it needs to show my reports with "All Choices". I've created the following filter on my two reports on the dashboard:
"Dim Student"."Region" = '@{variables.GILLES}'
or '@{variables.GILLES}' IS NULL
One report is just the column "Dim Student"."Region" (to see if it works) and with this report the above filter works just fine. When nothing is prompted it shows "All Choices" when a choice is made the report responds accordingly.
BUT
The second report on my dash with the same region column, but extended with some time dimension columns and a measure gives an error which I'm not able to solve.
+State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 14023] None of the fact sources for ToDate(# Feitelijke Instroom:[DAggr(Feit Instroom en Uitstroom Opleidingen.# Feitelijke Instroom by [ Dim Tijd.Maand Omschrijving, Dim Tijd.Maand Nummer, Dim Tijd.Jaar, Dim Kwalificatie.Kwalificatie Niveau, Dim Leerling.RCBREGIO Regio] )], [Level JAAR]) are compatible with the detail filter [Dim Tijd.Maand Nummer = 3, Dim Tijd.Jaar = 2010].+
+(HY000)SQL Issued: SELECT "Dim Tijd".Jaar saw_0, "Dim Tijd"."Maand Nummer" saw_1, "Dim Tijd"."Maand Omschrijving" saw_2, "Dim Kwalificatie"."Kwalificatie Niveau" saw_3, "Dim Leerling"."RCBREGIO Regio" saw_4, "Feit Instroom en Uitstroom Opleidingen"."# Feitelijke Instroom Cumulatief" saw_5, REPORT_SUM(saw_5 BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2) FROM repos_x WHERE ("Dim Tijd".Jaar = 2010) AND ("Dim Tijd"."Maand Nummer" = 3) AND (("Dim Leerling"."RCBREGIO Regio" = 'Noord-Oost') OR ('Noord-Oost' IS NULL)) ORDER BY saw_0, saw_1, saw_2, saw_3, saw_4+
While the exact same report but without the "or '@{variables.GILLES}' IS NULL" doesn't throw any errors but doesn't show the "all choices" by default.
The ultimate goal to achieve is to build a dashboard with several reports from several subject areas with one single prompt that opens default with "all choices" and constrains the reports accordingly.
Any help is highly appreciated.
Kind Regards,
Gilles

Phani,
I know "All Choices" is a special value and that it doesn't represent NULL. My filter construction seems to work fine.
My filter condition:
"Dim Student"."Region" = '@{variables.GILLES}'
or '@{variables.GILLES}' IS NULL
When it's set by the prompt it filters the request accordingly (first condition evaluates to true), when it's not set the second condition evaluates to true and shows all the results (or it's not filtered).
The problem is that it doesn't work when time dimensions are combined with this filter. Then it throws the error mentioned in the first post.
By the way: your suggested solution doesn't work.

How to get an error icon with tool tip in a displaying table in a particu

How to get an error icon with tool tip in a displaying table in a particular field..
Thanks.

Hi,
In the context create an attribute of type string .
Create the attribute in the node which you bind for table.
In the layout .
1.create a Table UI element.
2 create binding for UI element.
3Right click on the Table UI and select insert table column.
4.once the table column is inserted right click on table column and select insert cell editor.
5.create the cell editor of the type image.
6.Bind the source property of the image to the attribute in the node which you have created.
so depending on what image(type of icon) needs to be displayed set the attibute accordingly.
