Is there a way to create a variable referenced to a prompt on the report side?

Post Author: Martensa
CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
First I am querying current and prior year on the query builder by two prompts that are asking for the current and prior year. Then I am creating a variable on the report side that pulls the current year into one column and prior year into another column. (I.e. =(revenue) where (year = 2006)). Is it possible the have the year part of the formula to be referenced to a prompt? (I.e.=(revenue) where (prompt= 1))?
If anyone could give me an answer it would me much appreciated.
Thanks

Martensa,
Create a variable "Prior Year" =UserResponse("Revenue" , "Prior Year")
Create another variable "Current Year" =UserResponse("Revenue" , "Current Year")
This assumes that "Revenue" is the data provider name and your Prompts are "Prior Year" and "Current Year".
Regards, Jim

    Hello, I am a new user of P6 and I am trying to find a quick way of creating a filter by activity ID.

  • Is there a way to create a pdf that preserves all links from the origional document?

    Hi,
    I have a new, rather large, pdf document I need to create. After discovering that adobe will not reliably convert hyperlinks from an office document, I need a new strategy. Does anyone know of a program, other than office, that adobe will reliably convert the links in the origional document into links in the pdf? Or is there a different way to do this, other than adding links in adobe after I create the pdf?
    I have Windows 7, Office 2007, Acrobat Pro X, and IE 8 (I know... it's a work laptop)
    Thanks

  • Is there a way to create a field with total pages viewed?

    Is there a way to create a field for a contact that stores the total # of pages he has ever viewed? We'd like to use this as a bases for lead scoring.

    Please don't use big red text. There's no need to do so - it won't be more attention and in fact may put people off of helping - and it's really difficult to read.
    Adding to what JG said, you can also purchase a prepaid iTunes card, available from most grocery store and discount chains in the US and other countries, and use that. You will need to enter in your address information, but you won't need a credit card.

    Hi,
    If you want to have a better experience of your music files, how about just use WMP to enjoy all the songs, you can
    sort by Artists or Album or whatever you like. There, you can have a better and easier way to organize all your music
    files.
    For Windows Explorer, did you mean
    medium size icons in artist, while list icon in albums, you can just organize as you want like the following screenshot.
    If I'm missing something, please free contact me.

  • SCOM 2012 - Is there a way to create a class/target/group based on the presence of a folder?

    I need to create monitor(s) for an application, but the application services are different on all the servers.  Usually I would find a application service that is common among all the servers I want to monitor to create the target,
    but this does not exist.  There are no common services for this application. However, every server does have a common folder in the Program Files on the C: drive (i.e. "xyz" folder exist on every server for the application). 
    Is there a way to create a target based on a folder in the Programs Folder?

    Please refer to the following, which is quite exactly fit your requirement.

    Currently running CS5.1

    This was discontinuted in CS5 howerver you could migrate that plugin to CS5.  I don`t know if you can do this with CS6.
    To my knowledge they only provided a revised Contact sheet II script for CS6. In my opinion a very bad idea because they should have put all efforts and resources to enhance the Output Module PDF contact sheet that has far more options.
    Still not using web galleries but the goal for web gallery was also to use this in the Adobe Output Module, maybe that provides you the options you want?

  • Is there any way to create a system-wide variable?

    Hello IDM gurus.
    Is there any way to create rarely changing system wide variables that can be loaded at system startup that will be available to all users? For example, at IDM system startup, the variables would be read from configuration or generic objects and live in memory for ALL users as opposed to each workflow/user having to read the same variables when the workflow is run.
    Any help would be appreciated.

    That may very well be the answer I'm looking for. Is there a way for that to be available within the entire application instead of having to read it in each workflow?

  • Re:- XMII is there a way todynamically create local or transaction variable

    Dear all,
    Is there a way to create local or transaction variable dynamically inside the BLS transactions.
    I have a scenario where in i am reading the XMl document and based on the number of node (sub node ) items i need to temporary save those values into transaction variable .  I want to use these saved transaction variable tvalues o later insert into database

    After reading your second post, I wonder why you want to temporarily store the separate values from the XML node in a local property.
    If you already have all values available in a XML, than it would be easier to process the XML directly in MII, as that is what MII does best. MII can directly access the node values and use it as input for your databse inserts. Using a repeater action, you can process 0 to n nodes. Use XPath to transfer the node values to the query parameters.
    Is this the option you are looking for, or do I miss something?

  • Is there a way to create scripts to use tmconfig...

    Is there a way to create a script to execute tmconfig and change CLOPTS parameters
    for a particular server?
    Here is what I would like to accomplish. Want to set "-r" option to a limited
    number of servers, on an as needed basis. I do not want to bring down the environment
    and update the ubbconfig file. The support people are not familiar with tmconfig.
    So, I would like to create a script to turn the "-r" option on when needed and
    restart only those servers and then turn it off once the debufgging is done.
    Is there any command other than tmconfig, which I could use to accomplish this?

    If you've got perl on your machine, you can download the tuxedo perl module and
    write perl scripts to call tuxedo services. There's also a tuxedo::admin module
    at cpan now.

  • Is there a way to create a function that concatenates

    Hello,
    I constantly find myself needing to create a forumla tha concatenates employee's ID, last name, and first name.  Is there a way to create a function in Crystal that will allow me to create a function that already has this concatenation in place?  I am using Crystal XiR2.
    Thanks,
    Z

    Hi Zack,
    Custom function is a function that can be used in any report and it doesn't depend on database. We have to provide the values in order to claculate what we want and basing on the values provided it calculates accordingly. We cannot use global variables in custom functions and also evaluation time functions (like whileprintingrecords,whilereadingrecords). So I think it is not possible to get the strings concatenated without passing the values.
    Alternatively you can go for a query using Add Command like this
    select IDFirstNameLastName as value from table

  • Is there any way to copy S.Variables via Maxl or Essbase

    Guyz,
    Is there any way to copy S.Variables from one App to another app via Maxl or Essbase.
    Cheers
    Cnee

    you can copy substitution variables between different Essbase servers through Admin console.
    At first you should be able to add both the essbase servers in the admin console.
    Then you can copy the subst variables from one essbase server to other.
    in subst variable window -> select copy -> select server, app, db -> select subst variable to be copied -> you can tick overwrite existing variables option if needed -> click OK.
    the other way is to collect the subst variable information through maxl & then write maxl scripts to create the subst variables on the other server.
