Navigation from a chart to different reports depending on dimension value

Hi all,
Quick question: Imagine you have a bar graph based on a metric displayed for a specific dimension (#items sold by geographical regions). In this case each different bar represents the different dimension value (the different geographical region). I know on clicking a graph, the action can be drill down (if the dimension supports it) or a navigation to another report.
What i need to do is navigate to another report, and filter that report according to the actual bar ive selected (i.e. in this case im taking to a report with additional detail but only for the region i have clicked on in the bar graph).
Any ideas?

In the target report, just set the dimension column as IS PROMPTED. and in the main report chart set the navigation to the target report. thats it, now when ever you click on the value that passes the dimension value to target report.

Hi,
You can create one viewset. In one view set you can place any number of views.
According to your question
1. create viewset
2. place the views in viewset
3. place outbound plug in the first view amd place the inbound plug the second view. connect those two views witg navigation link.
4. place the outbound plug in secondview and place the inbound plug in thirdview. connect secondview and thirdview with navigation link
5. create two actions through actions tab.
6. create two buttons. Go to properties of the first button and bind the first actions. Similary second button.
7. go to implementation of that actions.
wdThis.wdFirePlugToDisplayView();
this is the sample code in section view to display view.
here we are passing the parameters from one view to another view.
wdThis.wdFirePlugToDisplyView(wdContext.currentContextElement().getOptions(),wdContext.currentContextElement().getSecondLevel(),wdContext.currentContextElement().getThirdLevel());

Display Different reports depending on values in a User Selectable Dropdown

Hello,
I want to create a report which has a Drop-down and depending on the value selected from the drop-down, i want to display different reports.
Say, a drop-down has 3 values, v1, v2 and v3. Now, if a user selects v1, he/she should see report r1. If v2 is selected, the user should see report r2. if v3 is selected from the drop-down, then report r3 should be visible. All the 3 reports have different structures (even different no. of columns). Also, v1, v2 and v3 are 3 different values belonging to a same picklist type field.
Do you think this is possible? If yes, How ?
Any sort of help will be highly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Ramil.

The only way i could see this working would be to create a picklist on a object and then create your three reports placing them within the same folder and name the report something under 30 charters then place the same name in the picklist value and create a weblink to the report which at selection of the report will run either report.

Link from WEBI chart to WEBI report

All, how can I link a WEBI chart (column) chart to an detail WEBI report. Appreciate any inputs.
Thanks,
Ann

Hi Ann,
You can use the chart bars as reportfilter (much like the dropdown box filter effect),
It is actually implemented as an input control, so you can control a detail table below the chart by clicking on a chart bar.
However hyperlink from the table is not possible in BI40 (yet).
(Right click the table, Linking, Add element link).
So you either have to use the data in the same report option, or use the hyperlink option from a table cell...
(Right click the cell, Linking, Add hyperlink).
As I noticed you are using BICS, before jumping to using dashboards (FKA excelsius), be aware that the BICS connectivity in there is still the version running on BW, so unlike a WebI report, you have to publish the dashboard in BW and access it via an SAP portal environment, you cannot run it directly from within BI launchpad (in BI41 this will change). So to link from the portal environment to the BI launchpad for the WebI document you would need some portal integration work too.
Hope this helps,
Marianne

Different expression depending on dimension dragged

Hi,
I need to have a different column physical mapping expression, depending on which dimension the user retrieves.
Example:
I want the Fact logical column "Fact.DOLLARS" map to the physical column:
1. SUM(CASE WHEN Dim1.ColumnA = Dim1.ColumnB then dollars END) --> when the user drags any column from the dimension1
2. SUM(CASE WHEN Dim2.ColumnA = Dim2.ColumnB then dollars END) --> when the user drags any column from the dimension2
Is that posible?
Thanks in advance,
Regards.

I dont think this is possible out of the box since this has to be implemented primarily from the Answers interface. What would happen if both dimension1 and dimension2 are chosen? You can use IndexCol to dynamically vary the columns. You need to write a custom java script which would set the session variable based on what was chosen. But again i would not go there since that would not work in all the situations. What you can do though is create 2 measures like this in BMM. Have a calculation set in such a way that you can identify what was chosen like say multiply by 1000 and check for 3 zeroes at the end for one and multiple by 100 for the other and check for 2 zeroes at the end (just a sample. You would have to find what is suitable depending on your data). Then make a union of these 2 in your report and pivot it. And apply the filter accordingly(like filter the measure that has 2 zeroes at the end based on some presentation variable). But again not out of the box. I would be better of creating these manually in my reports.
Thanks,

How to get more than 4 coloured rows in a report depending on column values

Hi,
I've looked through the forum and found some stuff on mutli-coloured reports and found the link to http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:7:557008579481721819
But I have several problems:
This shows how to get 3 colours, but it's easy to get up to 4 by just using the "Column Templates" in a new report template.
I don't understand where to put the snippets. It says to put them in "Row Templates" , "Before Rows" and "After Rows" but my report template page doesn't have these options! I've got "Column Templates" (4 of them), "Before Each Row" and "After Each Row".
Am I looking at a link for an old version?
What I want to do is set the row colour dependant on a column called "level" which is between 1 and 5.
Thanks

Hi Vikas,
It's almost perfect now. My only problem is that the pagination table is, for some reason, enclosed within the results table (I've used FireFox web developer's tools and checked the souce HTML to be sure of this). So, if I have a border at table level, it appears on the row containing the pagination.
I've had to remove table borders and put right borders on the table data cells, but I can't find a way to put left borders on the table rows, so I have a pretty table with 5 levels of colour, but no borders on the left-hand side.
Ideally I'd like to avoid having the pagination stuff within the results table, but I can't see how/where to put a </table> to sort this out!

Create different hierarchy based on Dimension values

I have a dimension called period. This dimension is having 4 different types of periods. The period table looks as below. I need to create 4 different hierarchies for these 4 types of periods based on l1 to l5 values. But all these values are in the same
table. Is it possible in SSAS? If so please let me know how can I do it.

If i understand it correctly, you want one hierarchy for one row, then you need to flat the table in the view and then you can create those hierarchy. But it is no different from having one hierarchy with the table you have. your hierarchy is going to look
like "Priod5" <- "Priod4" <- "Priod3" <- "Priod2" <- "Priod1". this hierarchy will have all the values. Don't forget to use the composite key for each attribute except key attribute.
hope this is helpful.

To compare two different reports

Hi!
Iu2019ve just started in a new work and I have an important task to do. So, I need to know if there is
some method to compare two reports. Let me explain:
We receive reports from Oracle and from SQL Server: two different reports with the same information. I need to compare them in order to know if the information exactly is the same or not.
Does someone know any tool to do that or do I have to revise each one by hand?

May beu2026 Business Object u2013 Crystal Reports can explain us how is a report built and how we can find the u201Cdata sourcesu201D. If it can beu2026 I will be able to make a program to compare the u201Cdata fieldsu201D in two, three, four,u2026 reports.
It will be very useful to compare if two reports have the same u201Cdata fieldsu201D or, two directories have the same number of reports and everyone in the first folder have the consequent in the second folder.
Of course, when I talking about folders, Iu2019m want to say two folders who contains reports but each folder have reports linked to different DBMS (Oracle, SQL Server,u2026).

Hi Deepak,
You could try something like:
SELECT DEPTNO, 1 REPORTID, SAL, EMPNO, ENAME
FROM EMP WHERE SAL < 1000
UNION ALL
SELECT DEPTNO, 2 REPORTID, SAL, EMPNO, ENAME
FROM EMP WHERE SAL >= 1000
AND :P1_SHOW_REPORT2 = 'Y'You would then need to break by First and Second Columns. You may also have to hide the REPORTID value on the page (you must still leave the Show option ticked) - set the heading to &nbsp; and use the following as the HTML Expression for the column:
<span style="display:none">#REPORTID#</span>Using this, I got: http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=33642:120
Obviously, more needs to be done with styling, but it's a start!

Change source (sql) of interactive report based on column value?

I've got an Interactive report displaying 10 columns. What I'd like to do is show different columns depending on the value of the first column. All the rows in the result will have the same value in the first column.
If value in column 1 (on any row) = 'aaaa' then
display columns 1,2,3,4, 9, 10
If value in column 1 (on any row) = 'bbbb' then
display columns 1,2,3,4, 7, 8
If value in column 1 (on any row) = 'cccc' then
display columns 1,2,3,4, 5, 6
Should i somehow make the sql query dynamically change or can I use apex to dynamically hide the columns I don't want in the interactive report?
Appreciate if you could point me in the right direction...
/A

Hello Andy,
You can solve that in your SQL query:
select col1, col2, col3, col4
,   case col1
    when 'aaaa' then col9
    when 'bbbb' then col7
    when 'cccc' then col5
end newcol5
from tableYou may have to use to_char or to_number conversions when the datatypes of the col5,7 and 9 are different.

LOV SQL query dependent on column value

Hi Gurus,
I have a tabular form, a column of which I would like to display as a dropdown whose list of values is a SQL query containing a where clause on another column value.
For example, say the tabular form displays questions, and that the answers to the different questions are to be picked in list of values that are different for each question. I have tried the following queries for the dropdown list of values:
1- select value_text, value_text from list_of_values_table where question_id=#QUESTION_ID#
2- select value_text, value_text from list_of_values_table where question_id=:QUESTION_ID
3- select value_text, value_text from list_of_values_table where question_id=&QUESTION_ID.
In the 3 cases, I get an error when I run the application saying that the SQL statement is incorrect.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance,
Guillauem

Anton,
Yes, I am creating a region based on a sql query. The query is the following:
select q.id quest_id, q.name, q.data_type_id, q.lov_flag, a.id answer_id, a.answer_text, a.org_id
from gwb_questions q left join gwb_answers a on q.id=a.question_id, gwb_answers ans right join gwb_orgs o on ans.org_id=o.id
where q.MODULE_ID=:P2_MODULE_ID and o.id=:P2_ORG_ID
Now, in the 'answer_text' column, I would like to display a dropdown containing values that come from a separate table and that depend on the value of the quest_id column. So in the Column Attributes for 'answer_text', I selected Select List (query based LOV) for the Tabular Form Element, and I entered the query mentioned before in the List of Values section (select value_text, value_text from list_of_values_table lov where lov.question_id= ?).
I am not using any API.
Does that make sense?
Thanks for your help,
Guillaume

PO Form with Terms & Conditions that Change Depending on a Value in Another Field

Hi - I have read through the relevant topics in this forum and have attempted several of them without luck. I am currently working on a form in which there is an empty JFMain (I do not want to populate fields on this page since I don't want things in this page my "static" header - logos, title, etc. since the Terms and Conditions pages should not show any of this.) On my page 2, I have subforms for all my fields except my Terms and Conditions. (These fields are controlled by a data file.) On my remaining pages I have 3 sets of Terms and Conditions - all about a page long - hard-coded as text and placed in subforms with a dummy field off page to ensure they print. What I want to do is print the subforms from page 2 and then the applicable terms from page 3, 4, or 5 depending on the value in a field located in one of the subforms on page 2. What I currently get is my subforms and then ALL my terms printing. Any thoughts?
My preamble overrides look like this:
^define group:D_HEADER \field$POSITION\reserve".11",in\subformHEADER.
^define group:G_HEADER @group:D_HEADER.
^define group:dummy!FldNotAvail \groupG_Terms_Private_Commodity
^define group:dummy2!FldNotAvail \groupG_Terms_Private_Services
^define group:dummy3!FldNotAvail \groupG_Terms_Public
^define group:JfEndData!EndData @group:D_end.
I had to place the JFEndData! statement into the Preamble since the last subform with fields called before the Terms subforms has a global field from another subform above it. For whatever reason, it was duplicating this subform after printing the Terms and Conditions.
I tried adding a nested if statement into field that will control when I want each subform to print but it was ignored. I also tried hardcoding a group call into the preamble with the logic as well with no results. If someone has example code they can share, this would be great.

I receive Adobe help forum posts via email and I've been saving a few for the pointers they contain. I have some saved that might help you out a bit...
A reply to the "Please can some one help me out......." post by Mr BoJangles on 10/29/2007 gives some information about forcing a subfield to be displayed.
A reply to the "Conditional logic" post by Marco Degl'Innocenti on 8/2/2006 gives information on initiating a subform based on the value of a field in the data stream.
A reply to the logic post by Marco DeglInnocenti on 2/22/07 also gives information on initiating a subform based on the value of a field.
I hope these can be of help. If you can't access them on the forum I can repost them.

Measures depending about dimension time

Hello!!
I have one problem about one report, depends of dimension time I can see one measure multiply with, one number depends if I choose Year,Month or Day.
I put a example:
I have a prompt in my dashboard, and I want that :
if user choose one specific year AND Month All choices and day All choices, my measure show me (measure*100)
if user choose one specific month AND day All choices, my measure show me (measure*50)
if user choose one specific day, my measure show me (measure)
I think that if in my prompt I create presentation variables (v_year, v_month and v_day) and in answers page edit my measure like this:
CASE WHEN @{v_month} = 'All choices' AND @{v_day} = 'All choices' THEN "- Actual"."Nº Cons"*100 ELSE CASE WHEN @{v_month} <> 'All choices' AND @{v_day} = 'All choices' THEN "- Actual"."Nº Cons"*50 ELSE CASE THEN @{v_day} <> 'All choices' THEN "- Actual"."Nº Cons"END
But I don't know how can I write "All choices". Can u correct my sentence or give another solution about this problem??
Thank you very much!!!

Hi,
You may use the bit_length(presentation_variable) function that returns zero when 'All Choices' o no choice is selected in the prompt. It returns a value greater than zero when a value is selected in the prompt.
Your case looks like the following:
CASE WHEN
*bit_length('@{v_year}') > 0 AND*
*bit_length('@{v_month}') = 0*
*AND bit_length('@{v_day}') = 0 THEN "- Actual"."Nº Cons"*100*
*WHEN bit_length('@{v_month}') > 0*
*AND bit_length('@{v_day}') = 0*
THEN "- Actual"."Nº Cons"50*
*WHEN bit_length('@{v_day}') > 0*
THEN "- Actual"."Nº Cons" END
Hope this help,
Monica

Show report in different currency depending on user parameter

hi all,
i'm trying to show my report in different currency, depending on users given parameter.
i hold my account balance in USD based. User should select one parameter, in which currency they want to see their account balance. (e.g. EURO, GBP ...) and depending on their selection, i want to convert USD based info into chosen currency, by fetching field from currency table and making some calculation.
also i want to include in report currency($, Â£ ...) accordingly ().
how can i achieve this, has somebody any suggestion to me?
thanks in advance.
bogi.

hi,
i think i need to explain my problem more detailed. anyone who has suggestion, please help me.
i have 3 tables account, times and currency.
- times table has time_key, date, day_of_week fields.
- account table has - account_balance and time_key_FK fields.
- currency table has currency_type, amount, time_key_FK fields.
1. i have function decode(:Currency,'USD',account_balance,'EURO',--here i want to replace my calculation CALC1---)
CALC1- this calculation need to some calculation like this: account_balance * (fetched field from this sql)(select amount from currency, account where currency.currency_type='EURO' and account.time_key_FK=currency.time_key_FK)
i tried to do this, but discoverer plus doesn't let me make condition and calc. i'm very confused.
2. after i achieve this query, somehow i want to display on worksheet on which currency is it based. can i get parameter value, and show this value as in column heading?
tnx!!!

Navigate to a different report from the Drill down path

Hi,
I have a question regarding the navigation.
I have a summarized report showing the fields City, Year and Count.
Now the user has the privilege to drill down on the Day dimension. He can drill down from Year to Quarter to Month to Day.
Is there a way for me to provide a navigation path at the Day level. Lets say when the user clicks on the Date then he has to be navigated to a different report showing the detailed report.
Since my summarized report does not have the fields Date I cannot provide the navigation path. The Date field is displayed only in the drill down path and I am not sure how to proivde the path.
Can anyone throw their inputs into this?
Thanks

hi,
i don't think there exists any out-of-the box solution through front-end.
If you know what fields appear on the detail report, provide a PRE-DEFINED drill path in the rpd to all the columns from the date column.
