Multiselect prompt display values in title

Hello,
I have a prompt which is multiselect. Is there a way I can display the values selected in the title of the report?
thanks,
deep

Hi,
here an abstact from the support:
Applies to:
Answers, Interactive Dashboard - Version: 10.1.3.4.0 [1900] to 10.1.3.4.1 [1900] - Release: 10g to 10g
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
How to set up a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g?
Solution
You cannot set a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. This is expected behavior. OBIEE 10g is working as designed. A Presentation variable can assume a single value. Because of that, presentation variables are not available when using multi select prompts.
OBIEE 11g will introduce the ability to set Presentation Variables when using multi select prompts. In 10g you can try as a workaround using more than 1 prompt.
So basically you can't set a presenation variable from a Multiselect Prompt, that's because you can't show the values selected in any views.
I don't know if there is somr way to do this with javascript.

Gianluca

Printing Multiselect LOV display values instead of code

I have a report with a multiselect LOV (shows text, returns code), so users can choose one or more things based on the description but when they "print" (using the navigation bar print option to open a printer friendly page), the multiselect field on this new page has the codes, not the text. How can I make the text show up here too? (Apex 3.0)

Oh - I see what I was saying wrong - it's a summary report that is having the problem - I am not returning the details, only a series of counts of various data (there are about 20 columns). Each column is a count of people, broken down by age group and gender. So the :P89_ENVIRONMENT value shows up with its text value when only one is selected from the multiselect, but when more than one is chosen, the text is replaced by the list of values separated by colons.
I.E. (with one environment selected)
Environment, Total, Females 10-20, Males 10-20, Females 20-30, Males 20-30 [...]
Woods 2 1 0 0 1
I.E. (with 4 environments selected)
Environment, Total, Females 10-20, Males 10-20, Females 20-30, Males 20-30 [...]
11:13:44:67 2 1 0 0 1
The report query looks like this:
SELECT :P89_ENVIRONMENT, count(gender) Total , (select count(gender) from client where gender_type = F and age > 20 and age <30), (select count(gender) from client where gender_type = M and age > 20 and age <30), (select count(gender) from client where gender_type gender_type = F and age > 30 and age <40) [...]
Any suggestions on how I can keep a text value in the Environment column regardless of how many are selected?

Selected Values not displaying in Multiselect Prompt

Hi all,
We are having reports with Multiselect Prompts. When we select values , we are unable to see the corresponding values. Is their any rule like Multiselect Prompt won't work if there are Null values in it..

Hi,
There is no case that if your column contains NULL values multi select prompt wont work.
It should work irrespective of values in column.
Just check that you have selected Control as Multi select for Prompt column.

Constraining values in Multiselect Prompt-urgent

Hi Guys,
I have a problem. I need to constrain the values in a multiselect prompt based on the values of another prompt.
Now the problem is, the multiselect prompt is constraining the values but when i search for some other value(which should have been constrained) it shows up.
I tried using presentation variable in the sql query for the prompt. But that also doesnt work.
Any help please..
Regards,
Ronnie

are you using two different prompts or one prompt with two column selections in it. if it is one prompt then u cannot use pre. variable in the sql query. since the variable will set only after you hit 'go'. create two prompts. one with pre. variable. then use this variable in the second prompt. in your dashboard u need to select a value from the first prompt b4 using ur multiselect prompt.

OBIEE Column filter prompt issue :: Display Value, Pass Value

Hi All,
Is it possible to display a value in the prompt and pass another value to the report in OBIEE?
Eg. Display Employee Name but internally pass Employee Key values.
Right now in column filter prompt, I have given an SQL query in SQL results field to fetch Employee Names and Employee Keys.
When I select an Employee Name then Employee Key gets displayed in the prompt (selected values on the left) field.
Filter on column property is set to Employee Key.
My requirement is when an Employee Name is selected, then the same Employee Name should be displayed in the prompt field. Internally Employee Key should be passed.
Is this possible? Please help.
Regards,
Sam

Hi,
It can be done with the help of an intermediate report and filter based on other request but you need to check the performance. You need to create a report.pull on employee key in that report and put employee name as 'Is Prompted' . Then in your parent report use 'Filter based on other request' and select 'Employee Key' from the intermediate report created.
In this way used only have to select employee name in prompt and employee key willl be passed to parent report. Check the performance before you use this approach as 'filter based on other request' can cause performance issues.

PROMPT WITH DEFAULT VALUES DOES NOT DISPLAY VALUES THE FIRST TIME

Hi,
With one of our scorecard reports, when you select a division, the leader role/leader prompt picklist values do not get populated the first time. Because this is only happening in reports we have written in house, we do not see this happening to the reports that are installed as default.
Is there any workaround known for this error.
Thanks and Regards

Hey can somebody please let me know how to go about this isssue ..

I tried putting the sort order column in the rpd also the sql in the prompt the back end query is generated as required but the values doesnt display as Order By whereas they are displayed in random.
Please help on this issue? Or is it a product Bug?
Thanks:

SQL not working in Multiselect prompt

Hi all,
I have restricted the results in Multiselect Prompt by giving the sql query.It is working fine but when i try to search for particular record in Multiselect it is not filtering the results by applying the query instead it is using the base query with no restrictions.
Please help.

I understand and I don't understand... So you have a dashboard prompt set to multi-select, yes? You have changed "Show" to "SQL Results" and added your "active products" filter, yes? Now with the prompt and report in the dashboard, you click on the ellipsis of the prompt and for example, you change "Match" to "begins with," type "A" and click on "Go" which then displays all the values that begin with "A," yes?
Now you select those "A" products and click on the left arrow to bring them to the left pane, yes? Then you click "Ok" which closes the window and click on "OK" one more time to run the prompt, yes?
Now you are saying that the report filters "all the products that start with 'A' both active and inactive, yes? And this is what I don't understand. The report should be filtered by the specific "A" starting products you selected in the prompts, not "all 'A' starting values" regardless of whether they are active or inactive. If you have "Is Prompted" on the appropriate column, you should get only those values from the prompt, nothing more.
How are you getting "all values that start with 'A'"? Please explain.

Display values for logical columns with several physical sources

Hi all,
I'm enocuntering some strange behaviour with the values displayed for a column (when we want to add it a as a filter, and in the dialogue box select 'Show All' values).
Basically the logical column is mapped against several physical columns as the base fact table is aggregated to different levels. Additionally, one column in the fact tables has an attribute value, and these vary between the aggregated and non-aggregated table. This is not a problem.
In the production environment, when we display the all values in the filters prompt for this column we are seeing the values being taken from one fact table. Naturally this means that not all the values possible for this column are being shown (i.e. values from the aggregated fact tables are missing). Now in one of our test environment where those fact tabels have additional data loaded, the values are being taken from one of the other fact tables. Unfortunately it is not necessarily the fact table with less data.
My questions are:
a) What dictates which fact table the server will use when the query in Answers doesnt use any dimensions (i.e. we are selecting just this attribute and selecting all the possible values by which it can be filtered)?
b) Is there a way of obtaining all the values from the differente physical columns? I.e. that the display values shows the values of that logical column across all the physical fact tables? Maybe we would need to model that attribute as a logical dimension just for that attribute? Im not really sure this would work, as at the physical level the join between the dimension and fact would still have to go to only one particular fact table.
Any info or help is much appreciated.

Hi,
Aggregate tables exist at physical level and are created by ETL procedures. Although i am aware that the dimension come into play when the application needs to decide which source aggregate table to use, it is not an issue here as in our query we are not involving dimensions. We are selecting just this one columen, and then the filter option on this column, then in the dialogue box we select 'All Choices', only the values from one of the source tables is being shown.
This is not a probelm within reports, i think it is a product limitation in that in that option to list all values a user can filter by, it is not possible to display all the values from the different fact tables to which that column is mapped.
Has anyone else encountered this behaviour?

Display values on a chart

hi,
in excel, you can display the value of a bar in a chart right on the chart.
i've looked in cx 4.5 for the equivalent option, but did not see one.
after looking at some of the chart samples, i noticed that i did not see this
am i correct that this is not an option in cx?
thank you
tracy

HI, Tracy
In CX 4.5 Pro the option is in the following Path
--> Double Click on the Chart from the Properties Window select the Appearance tab
--> Now from the Title Button you can select or unselect the Show Legend Value
Now the problem is that you want to display the Values but it display the Numbers as if there are categorize 1 to 9 than it show the Number from 1 to 9 and color of that Category in the Chart.
But we can do a trick through you can achieve your Requirement.
Like Just right side of you Chart Place a List View or Table view and Point the display Values of that Control to the Values you are displaying in the chart.
In this way you will be able to display the Category name and amount in the right side or any where you want.
Hope this help you to solve out your problem,
Please Reply if any Issue,

OpenDoc(hyperlink) in webi with prompt's value

Hi
I want to know that if a hyperlink(Open DOC) in webi in BOXIR2 works with the parameters or not.
To be more precise, suppose I have a master report which has a prompt on the Status ('High','Low',and 'Medium') and user runs the report for one or more choices, he then need to go to detail of the report with same prompt selection values that he chose for status in the master report.
A) The report can show the detail report in hyperlink, and that part can be done by hyperlink.
B) Please help me out if the detail report should run for the same parameter value as of master report (the parameter value should be taken automatically from the master report),when we use hyperlink and is it mandatory to show the prompt to user in detail report cause main aim is to just run the master report with showing the parameter and allowing user to choose the value and then showing the detail report with same prompt value as of master using the hyperlink!
Thanks & Regards

Hi Rahul,
Good Day,
Happy Independence day,
i came to know from your reply you solved your problem. congrats, but my problem is still not solved bro, i will explain my problem here clearly.
i have one master document it contains the the sales values for country wise for particular period of time.so in the master document i set the one filter for period of time ie. date between <from> <to>, so in the master document while running i need to enter the values in user prompt in the place of from and to. so my master document display the country wise sales details. if customer select the particular country in the country list then control need to transfer to child document, that document contains the state wise sales details for selected country for the same period of time(the date, which i selected in the master document).I stored from and to values in two variables in master document.
The child document contain two filters , that is one for country name and one for Date between <from><to>
so my user response is looking like this,
Country Name:
From:
To:
for me up to open the user prompt for child document is not a pblm. bt my selected country is not passed as argument and the corresponding date as well.
I m totally confused where is the problem, bcoz i tried with lsS and lsM as well, bt no use. i know i am making small mistake some where in the URL.
U r rite i am using Java platform

How to display dynamic header title in the report?

I have a req to display dynamic header title in the report.
When a id is entered in the prompt text, it will display the user data based on that user_id.
so similarly....the header title should vary each time when you select different user_id.
How can we implement this?

Zack..I have several projects listed under several project id's...
so when a user selects project id 00164 then it should display something like "Project document for Jon Doe"
again when the user selects project id as 00192 then it should display something like "project document for Zimmerman"
Did you get it??

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
