[MDX] Define date range based on user selection

Hi All,
I'm trying to define date range (of 3 months) using mdx based on user selection.
This is what I'm trying to do:
- If user select 2013, I would like range to be: from
1 Oct 2013 to 31 Dec 2013
- If user select Aug 2013, I would like range to be: from
1 Jun 2013 to 31 Aug 2013
- If user select 15 Sep 2013, I would like range to be : from
15 Jul 2013 to 15 Sep 2013
It is not a problem to get the upper bound of the range like this:
ClosingPeriod(
[Date].[Calendar].[Date],
[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
But I'm not able to get the lower bound of the range:
OpeningPeriod(
[Date].[Calendar].[Date],
ParallelPeriod(
[Date].[Calendar].[Month Number],
2,
ClosingPeriod(
[Date].[Calendar].[Date],
[Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
Error:If user selection is
15 Aug 2013, I get
14 Jun 2013
If user selection is Apr 2013, I get
(null)
And even more strange, if user selection is
2013, I get 28 Oct 2013
Any idea of how to solve this ?
Thanks,
Guillaume

Hello Guillaume,
Can you please check if the following works for you? By the way, the performance will suffer due to all these IIF, the solution is very complex in order to avoid null in ParallelPeriod.
with member measures.high as MemberToStr(ClosingPeriod(
   [Date].[Calendar].[Date],
   [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
member measures.low as
MemberToStr(
iif(ClosingPeriod(
   [Date].[Calendar].[Date],
   [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
) IS ClosingPeriod(
   [Date].[Calendar].[Date],
   [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
).Parent.LastChild --last date of the month
OpeningPeriod(
   [Date].[Calendar].[Date],
Ancestor(ClosingPeriod(
   [Date].[Calendar].[Date],
   [Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember
), [Date].[Calendar].[Month]).lag(2)
iif([Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.level is
[Date].[Calendar].[Date]
and
Right(CSTR([Date].[Calendar].CurrentMember.Properties("KEY0")),4)="0429" --take care of 4/29

Output different data based on user select

Hi everyone,
Quick question, I would like to output different report columns based on user select, eg., users would be presented with two choices in a radiobutton list, eg., 1 and 2.
I have query results that contain columns A, B, C, D, E, F, G.
If user selects 1 then the output should be columns A, B, C, D, E.
If user selects 2 then the output should be columns A, B, C, F, G.
I am sure this is possible and easy? If so, what topic should I be reading/searching internet on?
Please advise.
Thanks!

I would say that this is most often something that your user interface should be dealing with (i.e. which columns should be shown).
There is no way to do that in SQL.
In PL/SQL it is a simple situation of creating two cursors and simply deciding which one to open.
<pre>declare
l_cur sys_refcursor;
begin
if :user_selection = 1 then
open l_cur for select A, B, C, D, E from tbl;
else
open l_cur for select A, B, C, F, G from tbl;
end if;
-- use the cursor
close l_cur; -- or return to user interface
end;
/</pre>
Hope this helps.

Creating report based on user selected Date Range

Hello.
I am trying to display an Apex report that selects data for the report based on a user entered date range.
It's a simple page with two date picker fields (p18_start and p18_end).
The report region SQL looks like this:
SELECT *
FROM prj_items
WHERE LM_DT BETWEEN :p18_start AND :P18_end
One table, one field on the table to search and two Apex variables.
I thought this would be fairly simple, but I am obviously missing something.
I not even sure what other information is needed to help me figure this out.
-Jody

Hi,
You can set defaults for the datepickers if you need to - this could be done in a computation on the page for each item and conditional on the item being null.
When I've done something similar to this, I've created two hidden page items - eg, :P19_FIRST_DATE and :P19_LAST_DATE and populated these with the earliest/latest date that the user could reasonably select (perhaps, in your case, the MIN(LM_DT) and MAX(LM_DT) values).
Then your SQL would be:
select * from PRJ_ITEMS
where LM_DT BETWEEN TO_DATE(NVL(:P19_START,:P19_FIRST_DATE), 'DD-MON-YY')
AND TO_DATE(NVL(:P19_END,:P19_LAST_DATE), 'DD-MON-YY')If you don't want to set default dates, you could do something like:
SELECT * FROM PRJ_ITEMS
WHERE (:P19_START IS NULL AND :P19_END IS NULL)
OR (:P19_START IS NOT NULL AND :P19_END IS NULL AND LM_DT >= TO_DATE(:P19_START,'DD-MON-YY'))
OR (:P19_START IS NULL AND :P19_END IS NOT NULL AND LM_DT <= TO_DATE(:P19_END,'DD-MON-YY'))
OR (LM_DT BETWEEN TO_DATE(:P19_START,'DD-MON-YY') AND TO_DATE(:P19_END,'DD-MON-YY'))There are various reasons why your two dates are being cleared when the page is reloaded. Firstly, you should check the branch that returns to the same page - make sure you are not clearing the cache for the page. Then, have a look to see if there is a "reset page" process (usually created for you when you create a form page). Then, check the Source settings for the items. Typically, these would be "Only when current value in session state is null" and a Source Type of "Static Assignment" with the "Source Value or Expression" left empty.

How to update records in a table based on user selection..

Hi all,
This time the above doubt is totally based on the logic of coding which I tried a lot but didn't get any solution. so atlast I come to sdn site.
please help..
The requirement is like that I have a table with 6 fields (1 primary key and other are nonkeys). If the user inputs some values in the fields on the screen, then a row will be added in the table. Upto this i have done well. but when the user want to change some value in the existing row of the table my program unable to do so. Because I couldn't get any logic to do that as there are 5 nonkey fields, so if any one field is modified then the respective row should be selected first based on the user selection and then it should be updated.
At this point I could not get any idea as it may take a lots of if conditions (I guess) to reach to that particular row.
Please help..
thanks ,
sekhar

Hi Sekhar,
I am afraid, the whole design of your program is wrong, let me explain
Let us say you have two rows(5 non key fields) that the user wants to update and the data in these five non key fields are identical and in your program you are getting a number(which is the key) using a number range object. So you will have two entries in the table for the same data.
And on the update page when the user enters the non key fields, how will the program know(or for that matter any one of us) which record to pick, if you have two identical books and if asked for a book wouldn't you ask which one among these two do you want?
Possible Solution: Identify a possible key maintaining the integrity of the data, that is a combination of the non key fields which will help you identify a unique row and make these fields as key fields in the table.
A more costly solution(if you do not want to change the non key field keys to key fields) would be to, adding a check(using select statement) to see if the non key fields combination already exists in the Z table before inserting a record into the table.
If yes, throw a message to the user and just update the values in the table, else insert the record.
Another solution would be to, use the non key fields to generate a key(using some logic) and using this instead of the number range object.

Chen

Reading dynamic table column based on user selection

Hi there,
I am having a problem of reading and manipulating the data stored in a standard SAP table. The following example simulates the table and what i am trying to do:
Table: Storing sales data for sales person
SALES_PERSON    REGION   YEAR   MTH_S1 MTH_S2 MTH_S3 MTH_S4...
Richard S               NORTH    2007     100          200         300        400
John K                    SOUTH    2007      50           100         100        20
Brad P                    NORTH    2007     300          100         100        50
User have have the following selection option:
1. Month.
The program will calculate the sales based on the individual month selected
Example, if user select Month = 3, then program take only MTH_S3 column value
So total sales = 300100100=500
2. Month range
The program will calculate the sales based on the month range selected
Example, if user select Month 2 to 4, then program take MTH 2 to MTH_S4 columns value
So total sales = 400 (for MTH_S2) + 500 (for MTH_S3) + 470 (for MTH_S4) = 1370
How should i write the logic or code for this requirement?
Hope someone can help.

Creating a Parameter with pre-defined date ranges.

How can I create a parameter that will allow the user to select a specific date range for a report (i.e. YTD, MTD, WTD...)? Any suggestions? Thanks...
Matt Johnson

You can create & define Parameters in SSRS Report and provide possible values (MTD, YTD or WTD) as drop-down options, the user can then select which one to pick and you can write your T-SQL logic to capture this option and take further query action
on it

APEX4: How to create a report whose data is based on user input date fields

Using Apex 4 I've to create a report that allows the user to input two date and shows a report between the date range.
How can I do this?
Thank you.

This has nothing to do with apex 4.0. If you create a report using this query:
SELECT *
FROM emp
WHERE hiredate BETWEEN NVL (TO_DATE (:p1_date_from, 'mm/dd/yyyy'), hiredate)
AND NVL (TO_DATE (:p1_date_to, 'mm/dd/yyyy'), hiredate)and create two date picker items with names P1_DATE_FROM and P1_DATE_TO (take care of using the right date format), your report will show all records by default and those that match after you fill in the date items.

Variable Exit - Last Three months date range based on Sy-datum

Hi
I have a requirement to filter last 3months data based on sy-datum. I have a variable filter on Posting Date.
For e.g. Today is 20110622
I have to determine below range: When users run the report prompt should be auto filled with below date range.
From Value: 20110301
To Value     : 20110531
From sy-datum I can find the first day of the current month - In this scenario 20110601 (I'll replace last 2 characters with "01").
If I subtract "-1" I'll get the To Value: 20110531
Question is to get the "From Value". If I subtract 90days from To value, it will work for few months.
For e.g. If my To value is Feb 28th and if I subtract 90days, I may get a different answer.
Is there any better approach to determine this date range?
Thanks for your help.
Best Regards,
Sree

Hi Sree,
Pleae find this approach and compare
data : l_date type sy-datum,
l_startdate type sy-datum,
l_endate type sy-datum,
l_startmonth(6) type c,
l_endmonth(6) type c,
l_date = sy-datum.   say "20110622
l_endmonth = sydatum(6)   "201106
Pass year month and get previous month using this standard .
          CALL METHOD cl_rs_time_service=>shift_year_month
            EXPORTING
              i_year_month = l_endmonth
              i_shift      = -1
            RECEIVING
              r_year_month = l_endmonth
            EXCEPTIONS
              failed       = 1
              OTHERS       = 2.
"l_endmonth = 201105.
          CALL METHOD cl_rs_time_service=>shift_year_month
            EXPORTING
              i_year_month = l_endmonth
              i_shift      = -2
            RECEIVING
              r_year_month = l_startmonth
            EXCEPTIONS
              failed       = 1
              OTHERS       = 2.
"l_startmonth = 201103
l_startdate(6) = l_startmonth.
l_startdate+6(2) = '01'.
"l_startdate = 20110301
We got startdate in and we want to get enddate , but we got endmonth ...
now we need to get last date of the endmonth.
Use this function module SLS_MISC_GET_LAST_DAY_OF_MONTH and u can get it. Input should be date.
so put l_enddate+6(2) = '01'.
l_enddate(6) = l_endmonth.
now pass end date to the Function module and this will return the end date of the month.
So you get l_startdate and l_enddate as you require. This will work for leap years or feb 28 days what ever...

Month filter between two ranges based on user response inIDT

Hi,
I am working on SAP BO4.0.I have a requirement of creating a month filter on a date which will be between two ranges.The first range is the user response and the second range will be 6 months added to that user response.For eg:-If a user enters 1 as the response for month prompt then the date will be filtered between 1 and (1+6)=7.The database used is SAP HANA.
Please let me know if further clarifications are required.
Any help on this will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Riddhi ,
afaik this is not doable in UDT/IDT .Only thing we can make is to run the report for last month by using magic dates concept.
Check below logic if it helps.
For a requirement to run a report for fiscal year starting date to last month if nothing selected .
@Select(Time\Yr-Mth Key) between@Prompt('From Date','A','Time\Month / Year',mono,primary_key,,{'JUL 2013'}) and
(case when @Prompt('To Date','A','Time\Month / Year',mono,primary_key,,{'JAN 1999'})='JAN 1999' then to_char(add_months(sysdate,-1),'YYYYMM')
else
@Prompt('To Date','A','Time\Month / Year',mono,primary_key,,{'JAN 1999'}) end)
This is on Oracle Database.
When you run webi report
From Date : JUL 2013 (fiscal year start date)
To date : JAN 1999( without changing this you can refresh the report for last month , else it'll refresh for selected month)

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

Dynamic dropdown based on user selection of another dropdown on the same page

hi all, ok, I have a table which contains use data, a name,
and a userID. for the example lets say "Simon Bullen" and my userID
is "999".
on a form I have, there is a dropdown box, which is dynamic
from this table, and allows me to select Simon Bullen, however, I
have a hidden field on the form, which when the user selects "simon
bullen" the hidden field populates with the appropiate U number
from the same table.... no i thought this would do it:
<cfquery name="userNumber" datasource="userList">
SELECT userNumber FROM dbo.Users WHERE Name =
<cfqueryparam value="#form.Name#">
</cfquery>
and then my dynamic form field (hidden) would reference to
this query....
but it doens't work, could somebody please enlighten me? I'm
hoping its something silly
Thanks in advance

You could make the value of the option the UserID and the
option display the name.
If that isn't what you need, I think you'll need some
javascript to populate your hidden field based on what is chosen in
the select.
I think you can modify this:
http://www.javascriptkit.com/javatutors/selectcontent2.shtml
...to populate your hidden field instead of a new select
list.
If there's a way to do that without JS I'm not aware of it.
A third possibility: look up the UserID (based on the name
chosen) after the form is submitted then do with it whatever you
need to.

Tablix Data mapping based on parameters selected.

I ahve a report that is for variable based on the parameters selected. Parameter 1 is TableName, it lets the user select the table from the database that they would like to see the clolumns for. From there the second parameter is the Column names from the
table that was selected. I can get the headers to show based on the selection but not the actual data.
I've got this query that i created in SQL that works if input the parameters but i cannot figure out how to tie in the data to the report tablix.
DECLARE @Column_Name VARCHAR(500)
DECLARE @Table_Name VARCHAR(100)
DECLARE @sql_str VARCHAR(500)
SET @Column_Name = 'Id,Sort,Brand'
SET @Table_Name = 'Item'
SET @sql_str = 'Select ' + @Column_Name + ' FROM ' + @Table_Name
--SELECT @sql_str
EXECUTE (@sql_str)

but i cannot figure out how to tie in the data to the report tablix.
You can not dynamically assign the column to a text box (tablix). The best way is to modify your SQL to return the result with a fix column alias, then you can assign ths column to the Report control =>
SET @sql_str = 'Select ' + @Column_Name + ' AS [ReportColumn] FROM ' + @Table_Name

Using Date Range parameter in Subreport Selection Formula

I have a subreport which includes this line in the selection formula:
{Production.Date} = {?Pm-?DateRange}
{?Pm-?DateRange} appears in the Subreport Links window, so it seems like it should work.
The DateRange parameter is set by the user in the Main report.
But the subreport returns no records.
I tried this:
In the Main report I created a StartDate and a StopDate field from {?Pm-?DateRange} .
Then in the subreport selection formula I used these two formula fields like this:
{Production.Date} >= @StartDate
and
{Production.Date} <= @StopDate
This works!
So I have found a workaround, but still, I don't understand why the original code {Production.Date} = {?Pm-?DateRange} returns no records.
Thanks,
Art

Hi Art,
You cannot use a date range parameter directly in the subreport's record selection formula.
You'll need to create a formula in the Main report like this:
Minimum(?DateRange) //This gives the start date
Maximum(?DateRange) //This gives the end date
Then send these formulas as parameters to subreport for use in the record selection formula.
I think you've already got this figured out anyway!
