Multi Select Prompt DEFAULT VALUE

Hi, i have following problem:
I have two multiselect prompt Country with all Countries and Day with values from 1 to 31. When i load dashboard page, the first and second prompt are empty. First and second prompt have as default value "Report Default". But, when i load the page, the real value of first prompt is ALL Values, in fact report shows all Countries, indeed the second prompt has as default value 1. In fact i see day 1 for all countries. Because two prompts have the different behaviour? How can i set as default value of the second prompt All Choices as the first?
Thanks
Giancarlo

how did you resolve it..?

Multi select prompt defaulting to only 256 values

Hello All,
The requirement we have is to have the prompt defaulted it to be picking all the values in the prompt. The prompt has about 700 values. But it's only defaulting to 256 values. Is there a way to increase this. I am on obiee 11.1.1.6.10.
I have tried using the <MaxDropDownValues>256</MaxDropDownValues> in instanceconfig.xml. but that's off now use. Is there a seperate parameter that would control the values in multi select prompt?
Kindly help out.

Deep

Multi-Select Prompt default prompt should display 'All Choices'

If a multi-select prompt doesn't have a value, it shows as blank, which
technically means "%" ie. all values. Is it possible to display the text 'All Choices' so that users understand that the reports are based on all values of that blank prompt field.
Please suggest,
Thanks.

If we enter the text 'All Choices' as the default to in the prompt then this value is checked against the other values for this column in the table. Eg: - If we want Name to be the multi-select prompt. There is no match for 'All Choices' in the database table and the report does not return any rows. We need a functionality similar to the one available for drop-down list control. For drop-down control OBIEE by default offers the option 'All Choices' which in the query is used as %. In drop down we can only select one name at a time or All. The user needs to have the flexibility to either select multiple names or select an option All Choices which will return all results.
Any suggestions on this.
Thanks.

How to Select More then 1000 values in Multi-Select prompt!!!

Hello Users,
I have Scenario where i have to pass all the values from prompt to report and the values in the prompt are coming from session variable, so whatever value access user has the report will run with that only...
Now the question is that Multi-Select Prompt is not able to take more then certain values, so is there any way that we can increase the limit for selected values??
in-short how to increase the limit for selected values in multi-select prompt??
Thanks In Advance!!!

Hey David,
The Scenario is like, we have data level security on "Unit" attribute. now based on the user selection when user logs in he should able to see the report only for those units which he/she has access.
in total we have 1800 units available, now for 5-10 units access is fine, but the question will arise when user will not have only some units access from 1800 units.
because report will not take those values from the multi-select prompt reason is that multi-select prompt is not able to take more then certain values in selected side.
now in multi-select until-unless u have data coming in selected side those values will not pass. so i have kept the sql in default for that prompt.
so when user logs in he will able to see those values in selected side for the multi-select prompt, but when values increase from some level it's going automatically in un-selected side.
i want everything on selected side of multi-select prompt.
Let me know if you need any further details.

Thanks for your reply, because my colleague gave the same advice this morning and this decision works pretty nice.
The main point is to show which values stored in multi-select prompt for end-user on the dashboard.
If you have other ideas about this issue I will be very curious to know.

Multi Select Prompt in BI Publisher

Multi-select prompt and variable

Hello!
I have a table function (which is my data source) that has a number of input parameters and the problem is with multi-select prompt because it doesn't support setting a value in a variable (OBIEE 10.1.3.4.1.). Can I somehow get a list of selected items from multi-select prompt and pass it as one string (value) to my request variable? Or maybe you have any other idea?
I've searched old posts but I couldn't find solution to my problem regarding this issue.
Tnx a lot!

Hi,

Combo Prompt Design (with Drop down and Multi-select prompts)

Hi folks,
I have the following prompt design requirement in OBIEE dashboard:
PromptA: should be a drop-down prompt
PromptB: should be a multi-select prompt
PromptB should list the values contained in either of two dimensions (lets say: Product Names and Product Group Names ). Lets define Product Names to be the names of individual products, while the Product Group Names is the names of a predefined collection of certain products.
The string values that should appear in the PromptA then are: Product Names and Product Group Names. Consequent to the selection made in PromptA, values from one of these two dimensions should be dynamically displayed in PromptB. That is, if Product Names is selected from PromptA, then all product names from the Product Names dimension should be listed in PromptB. And if Product Group Names is selected from PromptA, then all product group names from the Product Group Names dimension should be listed in PromptB.
Can anyone tell me how do I relate the above two prompts and have my reports to work accordingly?
regards,
Mahendra

Hi
For this you have to do two dashboard prompt
In promptA:
select one dummy column,
In control dropdown list select dropdown
In show dropdown list select SQL Results
In sql results write the following query
Select case when 1=0 then tabelname.column else 'Tablename.ProductNames' end from subjectarea name
Union all
Select case when 1=0 then tablename.column else 'Tablename.ProductGroupName' end from subject are name
In set variable ->set presentation variable called var1
Saved it as PromptA
In PromptB:
Select one dummy column in that column forumla write @{var1}
but problem with this approach it shows two Go buttons for two prompts to avoide this create custom Go button
for creating custom Go button see this link

Try this its not work let me know
i tried for another solution

Nic, for me the iTunes window looks like this, when I connect my iPad 3:
I select the iPad in the "devices" section of the Sidebar (use: "View > Show Sidebar" if the sidebar is hidden).
Click the "Apps" tab in the "Devices" pane.
Scroll all the way down in the Devices pane to "File Sharing" "Apps" section.
Then do I click "GarageBand" to select the documents in the right panel.
Which part is different for you? Perhaps you could post a screenshot?

Multi-select prompts in Direct Database Request

Is it possible to pass multi-select dashboard prompts to direct database requests?
I have a report based on direct database request that needs the ability to run for all customers or the selected combination of customers.
For example:
select customer_name, sum(quantity)
from orders
where customer_name = '@{pCustomerPrompt}'
group by customer_name;
Here pCustomerPrompt is a multi-select prompt for customers.
Thanks,
Aravind

I am not sure exactly whether it could be possible..
One info I can share you is: we cannot assign a Presentation Variable to a Multi-Select prompt...

Multi-select prompt for BI Publisher SQL report in Dashboard?

Is there any way to populate a presentation variable from a multi-select dashboard prompt?
I have a BIP report using a SQL data source, and it will be presented on an OBIEE dashboard. Since the only apparent method for prompting a SQL BIP report from a dashboard prompt is to use presentation variables, and it appears that you can only set presentation variables using non-multi-select controls, it looks like there's no way to do this.
Any ideas?

Thanks for the response Fabiano.
I tried using BI Answers to feed this report but it ended up being too cumbersome because of the number of queries and the awkward XML data names generated on calculated fields. Those were the main reasons for SQL data sources. I was able to cut the report from 10 queries down to 2, and assign meaningful XML data names. The report runs much faster and works very well. I am using bind variables, but the only way to populate them (apparently) is to use presentation varibles, which are not populated on a multi-select prompt.

Select options default value and execute

Hello,
I managed to fill my select options default value. But what I also want is that the user does not have to press the execute button when the screen is shown at the first time. I would like to show the result screen for these default values at the same time the screen is shown first.
I tried in WDDOINIT:
data: l_ref_interfacecontroller type ref to iwci_wdr_select_options .
l_ref_interfacecontroller =   wd_this->wd_cpifc_select_options( ).
l_ref_interfacecontroller->execute(
but this coding only works when the select-option screen was shown the first time.
Any ideas?
regards
stefan

I checked that WD_THIS->MR_SELOPT is filled.

    lr_usage->create_component( ).

lr_if_controller = wd_this->wd_cpifc_usage_so( ).

How to dipsplay value of multi select prompt in Answers

I have a request in Answers that has a multi select column prompt. I can display the value selected in the prompt in the Narative view as long as only one value is selected. When more than one value is selected, how can I display the multiple values selected in the Narative view?
Thanks in advance.
Sandeep

Multi select can not be assigned to Presentation variable (It is greyed out), so you can not get the respective values.
