Limiting rows displayed from user-selection on dashboard prompt

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to limit the number of rows displayed after a user has made a selection using a dashboard prompt. Here is my scenario:
User selects 24 periods of data using an 'In Between' dashboard prompt (i.e. Jan05-Dec06). 24 rows are returned by the query but I only want to show the last 12 rows (Jan06-Dec06).
Motivation is that I'm using the MSUM function to display a 12-month moving sum total and I don't want to display the first 12 rows as they do not contain a complete moving sum total.
I've looked at using a variable to store the user selection at the dashboard prompt, but the 'In Between' dashboard prompt does not allow one to store a result in a variable.
Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!

Hi Som,
Thanks again for your feedback. I've thought about using dynamic repository variables, but found them not to be the answer. Although the moving sum would always be a 12 month total, the user needs to be able to vary the range of periods using the dashboard prompt. Today he might only want to look back 12 months, tomorrow he may need a 5 year overview. Using dynamic repository variables would mean I'd have to create variables for the entire history i.e. CM until CM - 240 (20 years * 12 months). If a user then would like to report on a specific period, he would need to pick the correct dynamic variables, which would not be user friendly/acceptable.
I think I may need to resolve this problem in my datamart by calculating & storing a 12 month total (the only 'fixed' requirement of the report) in my fact table. This would also remove the need for the user to select 12 months more that he would see in his report (a drawback of my original scenario above).
Thanks again for your input!
Regards,
Dutch

Select Table row(eg.3rd),rows displayed from the selected row,hiding above

If we move the horizontal scroll bar of the table and filter a column when there is a selection on the row, the rows are displayed from the selected row. The rows above the selected rows are disappearing(F5 it come back) and the rows are available when there are more rows with vertical scroll bar(above the selected row, if we scroll up).

Frank,
Mailed to you the sample application with the table script too. Please review the comments in the mail.
Thanks and Regards,

Need to store variables from multi-select in Dashboard Prompt.

I am using a Dashboard Prompt with a Drop-down List Control. The user selected value from this Drop-down List Control is stored in a Presentation Variable.
I would like to use a Multi-Select Prompt and store all multi-select values in a variable string. I have read that is not possible to use Presentation Variables with a Multi-Select Prompt.
Does anyone have a workaround for this?
Thanks,
Stan

Is that possible to display the user selection data in the printable page?

Hi All,
I'm going to add a printablepage button on my page.
Here comes a questions.
Is that possible to display the user selection data in the printable page?
For example,
I have a table in the page,with 10 records.User select 5 of them.Can I display these 5 records in the printable page?
Please help.

Hi Yannick,
Thanks a lot for the information. It worked.
The portlet data can be accessible using bindings, but parameter name can be different.
Meanwhile I have got one more scenario, where the Portlet and Task Flow placed in different pages of WCP Application. On change of data in the Portlet the application should navigate to another page where the Task Flow placed and displays selected data.
Basically I can not use any button for navigation. The navigation should happen once I do some action in Portlet.
Is this possible? If yes can you please let me know the steps?
Thanks in advance!

Regarding Can we store User Selected values in prompts

Please help us in achieving the below requirement.
Requirement is to store User Selected values in prompts when the report is opened by a User for the first time and make use of those values to refresh the report next time onwards.
1.Can this be achieved in WebI ?
2.If it is thru SDK(we use Java), any experience/help in doing this ?
Environment : BO XI 3.1 with SAP BW Integration

Hi ,
If you dont want data to be displayed in this report for this two values , then exclude this two values when you restrcit your characteristic to the variable.
If you want not to display this values when user opens help for entering the values where he can see all the possible values for selection for the variable, then it wont be possible.
Hope this will help.

How to HIde rows based on User Selection

I have a requirement where in I have to hide some rows based on Plant Name selected by USer at the time of opening the report.
Here is the screen shot:-
Here I am seeing two Tag Types MACT and Average when User selects Luling Plant. But When User selects some other Plant I don't want to see Tag Type 'MACT' in this table.
We have a predefine filter for Plant.
How can I achieve that. The data in White Rows is Average values.
Please help.
Regards

Hi Shalini,
Is user selecting Plant Name from the report prompt. If Yes, then try below-
Create a variable-
FilterSelect= If UserResponce("WritePromptTextHere") =" Luling Plant" and TagType inList ("MACT";"Average") Then 1 ElseIf UserResponce("WritePromptTextHere") <>" Luling Plant" and TagType inList ("MACT";"Average") Then 3 Else 2
Apply Filter on "FilterSelect" variable-
FilterSelect=1 and 2

Some user cannot save Dashboard Prompt Selections OBIEE

We are having issue with some users cannot able save dashboard prompt selections of themselves, even though the group they belong to has rights to it.
This issue happens only for some users, it works fine for other users. They all belong to the same group.
Access privilege on the Saved Selections is set for "Everyone".
Any help will be great appreciated

Verify if the 'My folders' for each user has been enabled or not. Usually , if 'My Folders' is disabled for that user there would'nt be any "_selections" folder created in the individual user catalog folder. Once the "My Folders" is enabled for that user via Manage Previlages , the users should be able to save the dashboard prompt selection 'for themselves and also for other too'.All the selections by the user would be saved to this folder.

Display administrative user sessions in dashboard?

Is it possible to modify the default setting in Multipoint 2012 to permit display/control of sessions for users who are members of the local Administrators group? We have a workaround/bug in an application we are running in MPS which requires
this elevated privilege, but obviously can't see/control the sessions of these users with the Dashboard, unless I'm missing something.
Thanks in advance!

Do you already set the DISPLAYNAME variabele in the authorisation block?

Get year from user selected month in field name

Hi BExperts,
I would your help about this problem on BI 7 :
At the opening of the query, user selects a month (for example 03.2007).
From this month, i have to indicate key figures on the selected month (03.2007) and key figures on the corresponding year (here 2007).
I'm using a variable in order to get the selected month (0I_CMNTH).
I don't know how to get the corresponding year (with a variable) ?
For example : user selects "03.2007", in the query i would have :
Period Key figure
03.2007     17
2007           38
Thanks for help.
Points will be assigned.
Cheers,
Vince.

Hello,
         I am not sure about the one you mentioned but this is another way which you can try by creating the customer exit variable V_YEAR under 0calyear characteristic and add the following code for gettting the previous year.
data: year(4) type n,
         year1(4) type n.
when 'V_YEAR '.
if i_step = 2. "after the popup
loop at i_t_var_range into loc_var_range
where vnam = '0I_CMNTH'.
year = loc_var_range-low (4).
year1 = year - 1.
clear l_s_range.
l_s_range-low = year1.
l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
append l_s_range to e_t_range.
exit.
endloop.
endif.

Displaying the user selection in Header for HFR

Hello Experts,
I have a prompt on a dimension in my report. The user can enter more than one values. I need to display the names of all the members selected by the user for the dimension in the header of the report. Can anyone plz throw some light on this.
Thanks,
Ravi B

Hi Ravi,
In text box it seems to be impossible to display the prompt members.
Only feasible option seems to be display those selected members via another grid.
But the problem here is that you cant put a grid into the header. So if your reports contain only one page then only this option might be helpful to you.
but if you have some limit on the number of members selected in the prompts then you can do it in text box also by hard coding. and nobody should select 100 memers at one go in prompts as i think. I really dont know what type of requirements you have.
Let see if your problem get solved.

Rahul

Issue in Default selection in Dashboard prompt

Dear All,
I have a dashboard prompt with columns year and month.month column i kept as slider in that default selection i kept 45 days backward from current date,since my requirement is the end user have the option to selection the day backward instead of 45 they need to selection either 45 or 30 15 15 based on that they have to run the report.can any help in this regards.
appreaciate the immediate response !!!!
Regards
GN

Hi GN,
Create an variable prompt ( Eg: v_days ) and add custom values as 15,30,45,100 into it and keep the default as 45.
Use v_days variable in another column prompt (Eg: Period) with the format MON-YYYY.
Now when user selects no of days , period will get the corresponding change.

Using presentation variables selected in dashboard prompt in query builder

In dashboard prompt I have made four dropdowns(have four presentation variables) and based on these values selected,can the Query Builder generate dynamic reports based on the presentation variables selected?
I will provide the link(i.e Link of BI publisher where I stored the report) displayed to the user based on Four presentation variables.
If we click on that link can we use the presentation variables in where clause of Query Builder in BI Publisher?
Please help me out
Thanks in Advance

- OK. In the second prompt, instead of setting Default to SQL Results, set it to Specific Value.
- Then insert '{pres_var}' in the window. I got it to work this way.
- It supplied the PV as the default in the second prompt after hitting "Go" on the first prompt.
Hi, thanks for your suggestion but I don't need to have the value of the presentation variable itself as the prompt default. The variable is a filter for a specific SQL clause and the default is the result of this SQL.

Auto filter by selection of dashboard prompt or other workaround

Hi all,
I have 2 dashboard prompts, let's say a Product ID and Product Desc.
How can I force user to select Product ID?
How can OBIEE auto-select the Product ID after users has selected Desc? Is it possible by writing scripts?
I ask this because we have faced a case that when user only chooses Desc but left the PID empty, the performance will be very slow and abnormally consumes all the RAM on server which leads server error. Product ID is from essbase, Product desc is from oracle db.
Thanks a lot and let me know if need clarification ~

Can you explain more about how to use the 'advanced' filtering which depends on another subquery?
Since I have tried to create a filter on the main report (Report A), which is depending on another report's query result (Report B). E.g. Report A's Product ID is 'equals or in' Product ID in report B, I have also set it as "is prompted".
Besides, I set a dashboard prompt on Report B, e.g. filter on product ID and Product desc. I put Report A and B together on the same dashboard page, put the Product ID and Product Desc as a prompt on that.
So now, PID and PDesc prompts will affect Report A and Report B.
My Wish is, even users only select filter on "Product Desc" --> Report B will be filtered and show corresponding and filtered "Product ID" --> use this list of product ID to filter Report A to limit the result.
However, it fails. Report A will filter the product ID by the 'original' saved version of Report B in Answers. That means 'no filtered' on Product ID. (As Report B I saved contains the product ID column of "is prompted" only.)
If friends here understands my question, or you have faced the same case, how can I solve it? Any workaround !?
Thank a lot !
