OBIEE 10.1.3.4 - Selection of reports based on prompts

I have reports (requests) say 1,2,3 under category 'A', Reports (requests) 4,5,6 under category 'B'. Based on the dashboard prompt for Category, I need to display the corresponding reports(requests) in the dashboard. Can someone please help me do this.

Hi,
Can do this with guided navigation.
Take two sections.Place reports 1,2,3 in section1 and reports 4,5,6 in section2.Create two intermediate report(Report1 & Report2)with only one column Category.
Report1 - Add filter Category is not equal to B and Category is prompted in the report created and save it.
Report2 - Add filter Category is not equal to A and Category is prompted in the report created and save it.
Under Section1 Properties->Guided navigation->Select Reference Source Request to Yes->Browse and select the intermediate report Report1->Select Show Section to If request returns rows
Under Section2 Properties->Guided navigation->Select Reference Source Request to Yes->Browse and select the intermediate report Report2->Select Show Section to If request returns rows
Save it and run.

Data Selection for report based upon a 'Prompt Value'

I want to report information in my report based upon a 'user input prompt value'
for example:
'Enter Shareholder Selection - A-Active, I-Inactive, B-Both Active and Inactive'
if the user enters 'A', the report selects only active shareholders
if the user enters 'I', the report selects only inactive shareholders
if the user enters 'B' the report selects all shareholders, active and inactive
the field in the database that this based upon is their total share value.
if this field is greater than zero (>0) they are considerd 'active'
if this field is equal to zero (=0) they are considered 'inactive'.
I have tried creating some type of filter, but am not having any luck.
I saw a few examples within the forums that I have tried without any luck....unfortunately most of the examples I've seen are base one only two choices.
I'm sure I need to create some type of 'independant varible' but am not sure how to do that either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Daryl,
I Tried this unsuccessfully in DESKI . We can't Eliminate Rows having Empty Measure Values or Measure with 0 as values using Table Level Filter as FIlter can't FIlter rows based on Prompt value selection dynamically. Filters filter rows at a time and not based on 3 condition as Active, Inactive and Both. thus filters are of no use.
I Tried this in WEBI, and it is working perfectly you donu2019t have to create any Object in Universe, you can do it using function UserResponse() at report level.
Hence if you are comfortable using WEBI for Generating this report then Follow the steps.
1. Create Report With Name and Shares Object. It will display all Shareholder Names and No.of shares they hold.
2. Use Status Object in Query filter, use condition as u201CEqual Tou201D and Select prompt. It contains Active, Inactive and Both as values.
3. Report will Display all Shareholder names and No. of shares like 45, 789, 0, 4562 where 0 is inactive Shareholder and all other are active shareholder.
4. Create Variable using Formula.
=If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Active" And [Shares]>0;[Shares];If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Inactive" And [Shares]<=0;[Shares];If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Both";[Shares])))
5. Remove Shares Object from the report and Put Variable created with Names of Shareholders.
6. Select Table-> Properties-> Display-> Uncheck the Option u201CShow Rows with Empty Measure Valuesu201D
7. Report will display Value correctly as per your Prompt value selection.
I Hope this Helpsu2026
Thanksu2026

Select in (select ...) (select main report based on child records)

I have a Crystal Report XI rel 2 report but I need to narrow the search of the main report based on records in the child table. I have 3-tables and one report w/ a subreport. The tables are locations, crashes, and vehicles. The main report has the tables locations and crashes and the subreport has vehicles (one crash has 1 to n vehicles) How do I select records in the main report based on the child (see below SQL stmt.) SELECT locations.county, locations.state, crashes.numpeople, crashes.time FROM locations,crashes WHERE crashes.cid IN (SELECT cid FROM vehicles WHERE vehicles.vehicletype = 'Trailer'); 

Hi,
Â You can use common shared variables to share data between a sub report and the main report.
What Kathryn has suggested is correct but you must make sure that the sub report is run first and then the main report is executed.
Â Hope this helps

Different Version of report based on Prompt!!!

Hi ,
Please do reply if you have solution to this problem.
I have a main report which has all its data coming from different subreports. So basically I have already a version for thsi report in production which retrieves me all data in table used.
But now we have a new reqmnt where I want a parameter field 1. say for all data(existing one) 2nd prompt for say 'Phone' data only. So basically when teh user select 'Phone' from prompt Internally I shld check for the 'Phone Flag = 'Y''. So for Phone promts I should be seeing values only for those records which have 'Phone Flag =Y'. and for 'All ' prompt it shld take all data irrespective what flag is.
I tried 2 approaches :
1. I can hardcode the condition 'Phone Flag='Y'' in my SQL and then map the prompt with this , but the problem is the SQL is getting complicated and hence I'm not able to do this way.
2. Insteas of hardcoding teh condition on flag , I just put the flag field in teh select query , so that this field is availabel for me to map to teh main rpeort prompts. But the results are incorrect since it would appear in teh group by function since its available in select as well . So even thsi option is ruled out!!
Is there any other approach??
Note : One only table used for entire subreports.
Excuse Typos.
Thanks.

I assume that the record selection will need to get done in each sub report
therefore the parameter will need to be pass down (if you don't know how to do this read the help if you still can't get it post back here)
at the sub report level your records selection is
if {?Pm-?test} = "phone" then 'Phone Flag = 'Y'' // phone only
else 1=1 // all

How to show the columns dynamically in OBIEE report based on the selection?

Hi,
I have a requirement where the columns should be dynamically shown in report based on what we select in propmt page.
I'm creating a report in OBIEE where i want to give an option to the end user to select the columns whichever he wants to see in the report.
For example I have the following columns in the report already:
Customer Name,
Customer Number,
Bank Account,
Address
I want to give an option to the user to select 'Customer Mail ID' dynamically and see the column to be displyed in the report along with the existing columns.
Through 'Column Selector' user can select a single column at a time, but if he want to select more than one column, how can we do this ?
Please help me out in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Chaithanya.

Hi Chaithanya,
there's not a straight solution for this. You can create different analysis containing different number of columns and then directing the user to this analysis using Action Links or you can also use View Selector to switch from one view (analysis) to the other. But it's not going to be very flexible nor dynamic.

Can I pass parameters from a dashboard via a dashboard prompt and presentation variable to publisher report based on a data model with select statements in OBIEE 11g ?

I have a publisher 11g (v 11.1.1.7) report with a single parameter. The report is based on a data model not a subject area. I created a dashboard put a dashboard prompt and link to the report in separate section on the same page. The dashboard prompt sets a presentation variable named the same as the parameter in the report.
The problem was when I created the dashboard prompt, it forced me to select a subject area which I did (though did not want to) and then I created both a column and variable prompts. But clicking on the
report link completely ignored the value that I thought would be passed in the presentation variable to the report.
Side note : My report uses a pdf template for its layout where I have mapped the columns names from my data model to the form fields on the pdf form. I noticed that if I create a publisher report based on a subject area, then I do not have the choice to choose a PDF as a template type for my layout. (I only see BI Publisher Template as a choice).
I see some documentation online that suggest it could be done in 10g.
Thanks

Ok,
I just tried that and it still doesn't pass anything to the prompt.
I changed the prompt to an edit field and I made the following weblink but when i click the link from an account it doesn't put anything in the prompt and all data for all accounts is shown.
This is the URL maybe I messed something up...

A Date prompt defaulting the data in Report based on selection

Gurus,
I have a requirement , where i have a (in between) date prompt set in the dashboard current defulting to Start Month date and End Month date of current month.
What the user want is based on the selection using a drop down in dashboard which has got values Last Day, Last week, Last Month , the default values in Date filter should change in dashboard.
For Eg. If the user select Last Week, the in between date filter show the default date value as Last Week Mon and Last Sun, and should filter out the report based on that.
Any idea's are welcome....
Thanks & Regards
-Saurabh

Try to see if you can get user to agree on something easier.
Here are the steps to achieve what you want.
1. Create a prompt for 1 day, 2 week, and 3 month
2. Create three separate reports based on above selection, which has page prompt for day/week/month respectively.
3. Create GN based on step in 1 and then let UI change between three reports you created in step 2
I hope this helps,
Best luck

How to create a report based on the selection of a node of a tree

Hello,
I am new to Oracle Apex and I was trying to build a tree and also an interactive report based on the empno column of the emp table.
I have created a tree based on emp table. Now I want to display records of the employee selected in the tree.
Here is the tree query:
select case when connect_by_isleaf = 1 then 0
when level = 1 then 1
else -1
end as status,
level,
"ENAME" as title,
null as icon,
"EMPNO" as value,
null as tooltip,
null as link
from "#OWNER#"."EMP"
start with "MGR" is null
connect by prior "EMPNO" = "MGR"
order siblings by "ENAME"
Can anyone tell me step by step how to go from here?
I tried to follow the thread Re: tree question but could not understand much from it.

The approach for reloading the page and displaying the report is quite simple.
<li>You start by creating a new page item which would be used to store the selected node ID , eg. P100_SELECTED_NODE (you can make it atext item and change it hidden once everything works as expected)
<li>Modify the tree query and change the link column in the tree definition SQL query to a link to the same
for example if your page is 100 , you would make the tree node link to the same page but set the P100SELECTED_NODE with selected node's id_
This done here
{message:id=4410987}
In this case it would be
'f?p=&APP_ID.:100:'||:APP_SESSION||'::::P100_SELECTED_NODE:'||EMPNO as link Now when you click on a tree node link , it would come back to the same page, but set the P100_SELECTED_NODE with the empno of the clicked node.
<li> All that is left to do, is changing your Report so that it refers to the new item inorder to filter the records for this employee i.e empno
SELECT ...
WHERE empno= :P100_SELECTED_NODE

How to create a report based on radia selection

Hi,
I am new bie to Appex, I have a requiment to generate a report based on existing table with the select creditaria. I mean, the select creditaria wil be the radio button, if i click any option the report will change accordingly.
It is nothing but filter condition but i need to do with the radio button/items. Please give the detail steps
Thanks in advance.
Kumar.

Kumar,
First you will need to create the radio group on the page with the report and determine the list of values you would like to filter the report on (dynamic or static). ie:
select CUST_STATE as display_value, CUST_STATE as return_value
from DEMO_CUSTOMERS
order by 1Then you will need to update the report's where clause (demo application page 2 example):
select customer_id, cust_last_name || ', ' || cust_first_name customer_name, CUST_STREET_ADDRESS1 || decode(CUST_STREET_ADDRESS2, null, null, ', ' || CUST_STREET_ADDRESS2) customer_address, cust_city, cust_state, cust_postal_code
from demo_customers
where cust_state = :P2_RADIOWith an Interactive Report, make sure you list the radio group item (P2_RADIO) in the "Page Items to Submit" fields in the report region.
The you can create an on change dynamic action based on the radio group to refresh the Report region. I made a quick example on apex.oracle.com
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=34760:2
Depending on the number of items in the radio group, you may want to think about using a select list also.

How to create a report based on selected item from Select list?

Hi,
I have created a tables_LOV based on:
select table_name d, table_name r from user_tab_cols
where column_name like '%_type%'
Then I created a page item ListOfTables, Display as select list and pointing to tables_LOV.
I run the page, and i can select the table i want from the drop down list.
How to create a report based on the selected item? (ex: select * from selected_table)
many thanks in advance
Salah

Hi Salah,
Allright, have a look at this page: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=vincentdeelen:collection_report
I think that simulates what you're trying to accomplish. I've set up the simplest method I could think of.
The report is based on an apex collection. If you are not familiar with that, you should study the documentation: APEX_COLLECTION
To recreate my example you should:
1) create an (interactive) report on your collection
SELECT *
   FROM APEX_collections
WHERE collection_name = 'MY_COLLECTION'
2) create a page_item select list for the tables you want to display (in my case this is called "P38_TABLES" )
3) create a dynamic action that triggers on change of your select list page_item. The dynamic action must be a PL/SQL procedure perfoming the following code:
declare
l_query varchar2(4000);
begin
l_query := 'select * from '||:P38_TABLES;
if apex_collection.collection_exists
        ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' )
then
    apex_collection.delete_collection
      ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION' );
end if;
apex_collection.create_collection_from_query
    ( p_collection_name => 'MY_COLLECTION'
    , p_query           => l_query
end;
Make sure you add your page_item to the "Page Items to Submit" section.
4) Add an extra true action that does a refresh of the report region.
Here are two pictures describing the da:

Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.
For ex. if a year is selected in the prompt then the report should display year wise report.
If a year and half year both are selected in the drop down from prompt section then 2 reports should come.. One for year wise and another for half year wise.Kindly look into this.
Regards
Ashish

Hi,
Use presentation values in prompts for year,half,qtr and month.Example- For year-y is presentation variable in the same way for halfyear-h,qtr-q and month-m.
create four intermediate reports.Example-Report r1 with only year column,r2 with only halfyear column,r3 with qtr column and r4 with month column.
Make column in each report(r1,r2,r3,r4) is equal to their presentation variables(y,h,q,m).
Use four sections.
Section1-Place report that should come when only year.
section2-Place report that should come for year and halfyear.
Section3-Place report that should come for year,halfyear and qtr.
Section4-Place report that should come for year,halfyear,qtr and month.
Apply guided navigation for each section selecting guided navigation-
For section1-
properties->Guided navigation->check this Reference Source Request(Yes)->select report r1(year)->check this Show Section(if request returns row)
In the same way do for remaining section2(select r2),section3(select r3) and section4(select r4)
Thanks,

Selecting multiple values in a prompt for a BI Publisher report

Hi,
I selected multiple values in a prompt for a BI Publisher report and ran the report. The report run fine with single value. But it run to error with mutiliple value. The Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher version is release 11g (11.1.1).
Thanks in advance
Susan

Thanks for your replies !
Is there any other way to achieve this ?
There is 1 InfoObject which has 2 fields Employee and Department.
Employee     Department
001                A
001                B
001                C
In the report there should be 1 row for Employee 001 with all the Departments displayed in the same cell separated by commas.
Can this be done in the backend through a ABAP code?

Select List (query based LOV) in a wizard created report form

I have created an updatable report form with 3 columns:
app_id
user_id
group_id
Each app_id has multiple group_id's associated with it, and I want to show the group_id field as a Select List (query based LOV) that contains the groups associated with the app_id.
My query for the select list needs to be similar to the following:
SELECT DISPLAY_NAME, GROUP_ID
FROM APPLICATION_GROUPS
WHERE APP_ID = ?????
ORDER BY 1
The problem is, I don't know how to reference the app_id from the main report to replace the ?????.
In other words, if my report returns 2 rows of data like this:
app_id----------user_id----------group_id
1-----------------24------------------3
2-----------------24------------------15
Then how do I get the group_id column to be a select list of possible groups for each application? If app_id 1 has 3 groups associated with it, 3, 4, & 5 and app_id 2 has 2 groups associated with it, 15 & 16, then those each of the select lists should be based on the app_id.
Hopefully I explained this clearly.
Thanks,
Kris

Leo,
Thanks for the response, but I don't think you quite understand my problem. If I go to the Column Attributes screen for the group_id field, I have the "Display As" drop down set to "Select List (query based LOV)", not "Select List (named LOV)". This requires that the sql query be written in the "List of values definition" text area below. Within that text area I have the following query:
SELECT DISPLAY_NAME, GROUP_ID
FROM APPLICATION_GROUPS
WHERE APP_ID = ?????
ORDER BY 1
The APP_ID that I need to reference is for the current row of data that is being processed. Therefore, I can't use a :PNNN_APP_ID variable, because that field does not exist on the page.
Hopefully this explains it a little better.
Thanks,
Kris
