[OBIEE Dashboard] Another TIMESTAMPADD Question....

Question

Hello everyone,
I know that there are already a lot of threads talking about this subject, but as I am a total newbie, I can't find the answer I'm looking for by myself.
The fact is that I have a dashboard prompt wherein the user can choose any year (using a dropdown). Once the year is choosen, I want to be able to present a graph with the results of this year AND the results of the past year (year - 1).
I tried to do that, using this really good post
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/03/11/oracle-bi-ee-101332-rolling-yearmonth-and-date-filters-moving-window-filters/
But, then I have this error :
Error getting drill information: SELECT "Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE saw_0, "Dim-Calendrier"."ANNEE_LIB TEST" saw_1 FROM "Suivi Chantier" WHERE ("Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_YEAR, -1, TIMESTAMP ‘01/01/2010 00:00:00')) AND ("Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE <= TIMESTAMP ‘31/12/2010 00:00:00′)
+Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P+

+SQL Issued: {call NQSGetLevelDrillability('SELECT "Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE saw_0, "Dim-Calendrier"."ANNEE_LIB TEST" saw_1 FROM "Suivi Chantier" WHERE ("Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_YEAR, -1, TIMESTAMP ‘01/01/2010 00:00:00'')) AND ("Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE <= TIMESTAMP ‘31/12/2010 00:00:00′)')}+
I used these filters
"Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_YEAR, -1, TIMESTAMP ‘01/01/@{promptdate}{2010} 00:00:00')     
AND     "Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE <= TIMESTAMP ‘31/12/@{promptdate}{2010} 00:00:00′
Like it is said in the post of oraclebizint.
promptdate is my presentation variable in my prompt. JOUR_DATE is like DD/MM/YYYY 00:00:00
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks

Answer 1

Hmm I thought that I should make my variable JOUR-DATE and the "timestamp" the same "format" (like the DD/MM/YYYY 00:00:00)....
Anyway, I had already tried what you've said (it was originally in the oraclebizint's solution) and it gave me the same error :
Error Codes: YQCO4T56:OPR4ONWY:U9IM8TAC:OI2DL65P
Odbc driver returned an error (SQLExecDirectW).
State: HY000. Code : 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <‘2010> : Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
SQL Issued: {call NQSGetLevelDrillability('SELECT "Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE saw_0, "Dim-Calendrier"."ANNEE_LIB TEST" saw_1 FROM "Suivi Chantier" WHERE ("Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE >= TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_YEAR, -1, TIMESTAMP ‘2010-01-01 00:00:00'')) AND ("Dim-Calendrier".JOUR_DATE <= TIMESTAMP ‘2010-12-31 00:00:00′)')}
As you can see, the only difference is where the syntax error appears (always after the "timestamp ' ")
What should I do now?
