OBIEE 11g Prompt Issue

I've a dashboard prompt containing a column *'Fiscal Year'*. While opening 'Fiscal Year' in prompt, it shows data like *2012.00,2013.00*...etc though in database data are liike *2012,2013*....etc. How can I rectify this decimal position??
Any suggestion is highly appreciated.
By the way, I'm using OBIEE 11.1.1.5

Hi,
Go to your RPD Physical layer > change the Year column data type double into int then test it out. it should work
also u can try to use round function on the Dashboard prompt year column (edit prompt year column formula section add it)
example: Year data is 2010 then if u use round fxn
ROUND("MT BUSINESS DATE"."Year",0) this will give u 2010
ROUND("MT BUSINESS DATE"."Year",2) this will give u 2010.00
Thanks

  • OBIEE 11g Prompt's default value doesn't work with a presentation variable

    Hi, I'm using OBIEE 11g and I have two dashboard prompts (Product Name and Product Number). Theses prompts are hierarquical, so the values that are displayed in the Product Number prompt have dependency with the values chosen on the Product Name prompt. This I was able to do, but now I want to put a default value on the Product Number prompt. The steps are:
    1 - The user chooses the value for the Product Name Prompt and by doing that the Product Number prompt is automatically filled with the correspondent value.
    But unfortunatelly this is not working, after choosing the value for the Product Name the default value for Product Number is not displayed (when you open the prompt the values displayed are correct and already filtered considering the Product Name but the prompt is not automatically filled with the default value).
    What I did is:
    On the Product Name Prompt I've created a Presentation Variable called PROD.
    On the Product Number Prompt I've selected:
    1 - For the "Choice List Values" field I've checked the option "Limit Values by All Prompts"
    2 - For the "Default Selection" field I've chosen the SQL Results option and enter the following SQL:
    SELECT "Products"."Product Number" FROM "Sample Sales Lite"."Products" WHERE "Products"."Product"='@{variables.PROD}
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you,
    Carla

    Sorry I was wrong in my previous thread.
    Actually your approach is not correct, Product Number choose constraint that will show as per the selection of Product Name.
    Coming to default value for Product Number you are going for sql override that is okay but not work with variable, instead of setting default values for product number set that to product name.
    if not you need to go for 2 different prompts
    Prompt 1 Product Name hit GO
    Prompt 2 will work based on as you defined earlier with variables
    Hope this helps

  • OBIEE 11g migration issues...

    Hi Experts,
    I have installed the OBIEE 11g and tried out the SimpleLite repository and catalog which is available along with the installation. That was working fine. and also I was be able to create/edit the analysis. I could be able to access admin presentation page using the user "weblogic". "weblogic" user is belonging to "BIAdministrators" system role and "BIAdminstrator" Application role.
    After that i have migrated one of my OBIEE 10g local project to 11g. After the migration i couldn't be able to access the admin page. I am getting authorization issue. Not only that i cannot also be able to create analysis too. Still the weblogic belongs to BIAdministator" user. Did i miss any step ?
    Apart from that in that case i couldn't be able to update the repository row count when i open the repository in online mode. I am getting "Connection has failed" message when i try that. I have verified the ODBC connection was fine before try out that.
    No my question is OBIEE 11 g migration has issue? or do we need to create the project from the scratch?
    You guidelines are much appreciated.
    Thank you

  • Obiee 11g upgrade issue for date format

    Hi,
    I am facing a date format issue with obiee 11g report. This statement cast(cast(current_date as char) as timestamp) is failing with "not a valid month" error in obiee 11g. This worked fine with obiee 10g.
    I am basically trying to set the date to 12:00:00 am of the sysdate. Below is what I am trying to achieve:
    timestampadd(sql_tsi_hour, 1, cast(cast(current_date as char) as timestamp)))
    the above statement fails in obiee 11g.
    Thanks for your help,

    I dont think you need any functions to get the required output, try to set the date format as below

    I think with format and then the below should work with no issues.
    timestampadd(sql_tsi_hour, 1,current_date)
    I think you are wasting time by posting here, just do it. You no need any ones permissions to do it ;)

  • OBIEE 11G prompt values are not applying

    Hi There,
    I am using OBIEE11g, I have a dashboard which consist of a prompt.
    In prompt I have filter condition on Start date and End date with default values, when I run the dashboard it gives me some ODBC error, it doesn't applly the default values.
    But when I click apply button on the prompt, it gets executed for the default values.
    What should I do?
    Plz help.
    Thanks in advance,
    Pushpesh Pallav

    Hey André Fumian,
    Did BEx query changed/modifications done??
    Does the prompt variable condition is changed @BEx level ??
    For all, what you did changes @BEx, will not automatically update the Universe.
    To do the same job follow the suggested.
    1. Open Universe
    2. View == refresh Structure
    3. Now you can see Updated things and deleted objects (######)
    4. Say OK
    5. Save Universe
    6. Export it.
    Now Open reports and see the LOV's showing up...
    Hope it solves the issue.
    Gracias...!!

  • OBIEE 11g - Prompt Validation

    Hello Gurus,
    I am trying to validate a textfield prompt in a dashboard page, OBIEE 11.1.1.6, and looking for some assistance on the same. Have detailed the scenario below.
    Scenario:
    A dashboard page has a textfield prompt, which sets the value entered by user in a Presentation Variable "rg_office". The same dashboard page has a report, wherein one of the columns is "Office". Depending upon the value entered by the user in the textfield prompt, report would be displayed.
    As we know, by making "Office" is prompted, report would be displayed. In case there is no matching value, filter section would show no match found.
    What I Want:
    The value entered in the textfield prompt should be of specific format. I want to show end-user an alert message if the value entered by him/her does not correspond to a specific format (format like 99:99 only). How can I incorporate the same in my dashboard?
    Eagerly awaiting response.
    Thanks & Regards,
    RG

    Hi Rahul,
    Create a report that checks for the data format. Make sure the report returns rows based on your condition.
    Add a static text " Please enter the data is correct format " to dashboard section, make the section to display conditionaly by adding the above created report as a condition. Whenever user enters incorrect format the text will display instead of actual report. For more info on guided navigation,

  • OBIEE 11g Prompt calculation

    Hi
    I'm quite new with Obiee. Is it possible to make prompt which make calculation for a specific column?
    For example:
    When user open analysis, the analysis asks to enter a percent. User input percent: 60. After that one column's values are calculated automatically: (columnvalues x 0,6).
    Thank you

    In the prompt pull any (number) column, select as text/edit field, set Presentation variable and use it in your report.

  • OBIEE 11G Prompt population based on fact

    Hi,
    Can we populate a prompt(based on a dimension) with only those values for which there is data available in the fact table? eg. If we have prompts based on product and time dimensions and a particular date range is selected, the product prompt should only contain values for which data is available in the fact(on which the metrics are being reported).
    Is there a way to do this? I understand that it might not be the most performant solution since the prompt population query would hit the fact table every time another prompt is changed.
    One option is to limit values by the date prompt for the product prompt and define the implicit fact column in the RPD for the subject area. This would work for multi-column prompts but not for(I think) separate prompts in the same page.

    This works for separate prompts by using SQL results(in product prompt) referencing presentation variable set by the date prompt

  • Filter value based on Date in OBIEE 11g, Reporting Issue

    Hi,
    I have following tables
    Dim_Item
    Dim_Loc
    Fact_Price-Item_Key,Loc_Key,Date_Key,Reason_Code,Amount,Load_date
    Reason Code is the code which discribes the reson behind price change
    Amount- price of Item at particular location (Note: one item can have different price at different location)
    Load Date - When ever there is price change for a particular item at particular location new record is inserted in the fact load date represents the date on which the data is updated
    Item_key  Loc_key  Date_key  Reason_Code  Amount  Load_Date
    1                  1        20131113                  0          1400    13/11/2013
    1                  1        20131115                  6          1100    15/11/2013
    2                  1        20131112                  0          900      12/11/2013
    2                  2        20131112                  0          1200    12/11/2013
    2                  2        20131113                  3          325      13/11/2013
    My report requirement is
    Report should show only the Item & location for which there is price change
    Report should be like
    Item Loc Orignal_Amt Changed_Amt
    1       1         1400           1100
    2       2         1200            325
    I have tried to calculate Orignal_Amt by taking Min(Load_Date) & Changed_Amt by taking Max(Load_Date) but result is not correct
    I need to min(Load_Date) or max(load_date) for an Item at particular location
    i.e it should be like min(load_date by item_key,loc_key)
    max(load_date by item_key,loc_key)
    then I can filter out Amount based on this min & max value.
    How can I achive this, is there any other approach to achive this
    Thanks
    Sameer

    Hi,
    Does this approach with comparing prices in the first and last date of the period actually indicates the price change?
    What about the sample data below - is considered to be a price change or not?
    Item_key  Loc_key  Date_key  Reason_Code  Amount  Load_Date
    2                  2        20131110                  0          325     12/11/2013
    2                  2        20131111                  0          1100    12/11/2013
    2                  2        20131112                  0          1200    12/11/2013
    2                  2        20131113                  3          325      13/11/2013
    Option #1:
    Use 2 requests:
    Req1 selects surrogate key for the first and last record by load date for each location and product. Surrogate key is just a concatenated expression of Item_Key, Loc_Key and Load_Date fields (use separators between them).
    For this request you need to filter out all other dates but first and last - use Rank function with BY clause. It will be 2 calculated fields: RANK(Date_Load BY Item_Key, Loc_Key) = last date, RANK(-Date_Load BY Item_Key, Loc_Key) = first date. Select records having any of these ranks=1.
    In result this request should return up to 2 records for each product-location combination with surrogate key, something like this for my example:
    Item_key  Loc_key  Date_key  Reason_Code  Amount  Load_Date          KEY
    2                  2        20131110                  0          325     12/11/2013      LOC:2;ITM:2;DT:20131110
    2                  2        20131113                  3          325      13/11/2013     LOC:2;ITM:2;DT:20131113
    In fact, it could be more than 2 records in case there are more than 1 change in a day for the price and no time stored on date field. This is up to you how to eliminate duplicates.
    Now you have another request, resulting one, which is filtered by Req1 using the same surrogate key expression. Orignal_Amt =Min(Amount), Change_Amt = Max(Amount). Apply a filter to find records with different values between them.
    In result, if product price is the same in the beginning and end of period (or it is single record) - these records will be filtered out, otherwise you get them in the report.
    Option #2:
    Play around with logical SQL under Advanced tab, it allows you to write requests with joins (as regular SQL does).
    This is sort of desperate option as such an analysis is hard to maintain (make modifications to it).

  • Issue in Dashboard Prompt of OBIEE 11g

    Hi,
    I had recently migrated from OBIEE 10g to OBIEE 11g.
    I had found that there are lot of things which were working on OBIEE 10g are not working in OBIEE 11g.
    For Eg:
    I have scenario where i have 2 dashboards with different dashboard prompts.
    - *1st Dashboard*: I have prompt with 4 columns Year, Month, Qtr and Week. I can filter the data based on the selection of prompt.i.e Summary Report showing all KPIs and when clicked on the any of the KPI it goes to Below report which shows the graphical view of past weeks data.
    - Report: Here i show all the week Ids in the Graph format and when clicked on the any week id it navigates to 2nd Dashboard(below) with appropriate week populated in the prompt and show the detailed records.
    - *2nd Dashboard*: I have prompt with 5 columns Year, Month, Qtr, Week and Day of the Week with some detailed report. Here the only Week Id should be pre populated and show data based on the week id selection in the above report.
    The issue here in OBIEE 11g is, The month Id which was selected in 1st Dashboard prompt is also getting pre populated into the 2nd dashboard prompt. Which should not happen.
    Note: This was working fine in OBIEE 10g.
    Is there any way to fix this issue in OBIEE 11g.
    Regards
    Shyam

    Hi Bala,
    Thank you for your response.
    I had tried that and resolved my problem but it was impacting other reports i.e
    I have other reports in 1st Dashboard with different tabs, Here i want the prompt value to be persisted across the reports in same dashboard so that when i go to other tab with in same dashboard the prompt value should be pre-populated and the data should be filtered against that.
    Now if i change the scope to page then i will be loosing this functionality.
    It was working on OBIEE 10g and i lost this after migrating to OBIEE 11g.
    Can you please help me in this regard.

    lastupdated date is less than or equal to @{dateto){1/1/1950}
    and created two prompts

    creation dateto<=
    when i passing the dates 05/12/2004 and 05/12/2005 in prompts after clicking the apply button in OBIEE 11g it feches all the records but i need records between these dates. and one more thing is after clicking apply button the two date fields getting the same date..
    am i do any thing wrong in the above ???
    please let me know friends..
    waiting for ur replyyyyyy..
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Create date prompts with operator as = not >= (or) <= as you need to save that value in presentation variable and you are filtering report using those variable filters.
