OBIEE - Number in Prompt

I am having diffculty in locating how I can get rid of comma's in the prompt;
Example; I have a customer code (numerical value) That by default is showing up with comma's in the prompt - I have corrected this is answers for the query itself - I am jsut not sure how or where I can define such presentation format on the prompt as well - please advise

Hi
Put this code in your fx of prompt..
cast( col1 as CHAR)
And in the same way..
go to your report criteria and click on Filter Options of particular filter of this prompt condition...
Now click edit Column Formula option, write the same formula here i.e. cast( col1 as CHAR)
So that it get synchronize with the filter column.
But cast it to char for column that you are showing in criteria columns. do it only for prompt and filter.
Hope it resolves it..!!

OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompts

Hi,
I need some help on possible designs for dashboard prompts. We have a number of prompts which are based on SQL Results (custom query) in some dashboards. Unfortunately obi cannot "Limit values by" or constrain values returned by the selected values of another prompt.
My questions is what solutions have you tried & implemented to constraint the values returned by the selection values of another prompt when using SQL Results prompt?
Thanks in advance
Phil

Hi,
What we tried is having a presentation variable for the first prompt and according to the value of the first prompt, second prompt will show values.
For example,
First prompt has a presentation variable as @{first_prompt}
Second prompt has sql results as -SELECT "dim1_column1" from sh where "dim1_column2"=@{first_prompt}
Hope this helps.

OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt Reset Button Functionality

Dear Experts,
Can anyone explain what is the exact functionality of 'Reset' Button in any OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompt.
If anyone found any documentation related to it... please let me know.
thanks,
Varun

Hi Varun,
This is the functionality of Reset button,
Reset will go back to last applied values. It does not clear values. Currently the Reset button works in the following ways:
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) reset 4) it should go back to blank.
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) reset. 5) it should NOT to back to blank. actually it does not change anything.
if 1) the prompt is blank 2) select some value, 3) apply 4) change any values 5) reset. 6) it should undo any changes in step 4.

Dialing number phone prompts for To:UNKNOWN NUMBER instead of Enter Code

OBIEE 11g - Dashboard Prompts - Radio Buttons

I have a report where I need to run 3 different ways based on the same filter with different values. Each way has multiple values. I was hoping to create a Dashboard prompt as a radion button to allow the user to select which variation of the report to run. I would like the radio button to pass the multiple values to the filter based on the user's selection. Does anybody know if this is possible? If not, is there another reccommended way. I would prefer not to save three versions of the same report with the only difference being a filter. Also, I would prefer for the users not to have to select multiple values each time they run report depending on the version they want to run.
Thanks,
William

You create the dummy report with appropriate number of columns for filtering using combine request. Each request in this complex report will correspond a choosing in a radio button prompt. In a main report for every filtering column you need to use option 'results are based on another request'.

Flex Builder 3 forgets valid serial number, constant prompt

Hi all,
I installed Flex Builder 3 on a Windows XP 32 bit machine under one user account. It came up and worked great for several days. Later on, I made another user account and tried to use Flex Builder 3. Each time it starts up it says my trial period is expired and I need to enter a serial number. At that point I re-enter my serial and it accepts it as valid. However, as soon as I move to build a project or do practically anything, the program re-prompts that my trial period is expired and I need to re-enter a valid serial.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flex Builder a number of times, but that does not help this issue. I have deleted the file c:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flex\license.properties, but that does not fix the issue. Deleting this file gives me a new trial period and the same behavior of accepting and "forgetting"/"ignoring" my valid serial number. One note, this file does contain my serial number and the date and time that the program most recently accepted it as a valid serial number.
Are there registry keys that perhaps did not get unset or other "magic files" that I need to delete to completely reset the serialization process? It is very frustrating that it is not accepting and "remembering" the valid license key.
Thanks for any guidance!

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.

Issue : OBIEE applying default prompt values when pressing return button

Hi All,
On my dashboard, I am showing a summary report. This summary report has a link to detail report. I have provided a link for detail report just below the summary report on dashboard. Following is the issue which I am facing
[1] I run the dashboard for a particular prompt value on the dashboard. Let's say a date value = '1/1/2010'.
(There is no default value for the prompt).
[2] Now my summary report is updated according to the prompt value which I selected.
[3] I click on any value on summary reports and it drill down and recalculated the metrics
[4] Now when I click on the detail report, i get the detail report too ( in a new window). The issue starts from here.
[5] When I click on return link from the detail report page, it takes me back to the summary report page ( I land on the report which I got from step 3)
[6] I click on the return button under the summary report (rememeber I had drilled down) to see the report which i get in step 2
But, when I click on the return button under the summary report, it changes the prompt value too and applies the default value to the prompt and provides me the initial summary report with default promt value. The report which I got in step 2
Whereas what i want is when I click on the return link then I should get the report which I got in step 3.
Why does OBIEE applies the default value when I try to return back to my original summary report. Is this an OBIEE feature or I have some setting issue ?
Hope I have been able to explain the scenario!
Can anyone please reply on this. Any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Ronny

hey kart,
the issue is not about going back to the summary report ...the issue is when i click on the return link below the summary report after returning from the detail report ( which opens in a new window) then it takes me to the initial summary report ( which was loaded by default when the dashboard was loaded) with all the default prompt filters whereas my requirement is to go back to the summary report with the filters which users selected from the prompt ....
Please let me know.
Thanks,
Ronny

OBIEE 10g Dashboard Prompt Multiple Values

A dashboard prompt is applied to filter on Regions, however the issue we're facing is that the region values show up multiple times (1000's). We want to show each value once and I read about 2 solutions:
1) Apply a select distinct SQL on the prompt - This does not work for us since the region is also a key field in the drill down (region consists out of states), the drill down overrules the select distinct and the prompt still shows multiple values. Any ideas?
2) Apply a cast to char on the dashboard prompt field - The values show up only once, however now the dashboard prompt does not get applied to the reports. Looking at the SQL nothing seems to come back from the database. This might have to do with the fact that the region data type in the business layer is VARCHAR with a max of 30, thoughts? I tried updating the cast to varchar(30) but that had no effect.
The cast sql is simple and looks like this:
SELECT CAST ("zzz"."Region" as char) FROM ...
Hopefully anyone can help us with this problem. Thanks!

Thanks for the tips!
1. No, it does not happen when the column is the only item in a report
2a. I updated the cast to a varchar and added the distinct because that seemed easier than changing the field types in the rpd. The new SQL looks like this:
SELECT DISTINCT CAST("zzz.Region" AS varchar(10)) FROM ...
2b. Also joining to a table with extra region information (the sequence how we present the values to the customer) provided unique values:
Select "zzz.Region" FROM ... ORDER BY "zzz."Region Sequence"
With both solution we force OBIEE to execute the SQL differently so that the key field in the dimension does not throw off the numbers

Adding 'All' filter in Obiee 11g dashboard prompt

Hi All,
I am using ver 11.1.1.5
My requirement is to see all data in dashboard prompt as well as there should be another item its 'ALL' which return the all data.
Example:
There is a dashboard filter on a field type (like: Value1,Value2) , our client want to see the data on filter (like: ALL,Value1,Value2) the ALL will filter the boat Value1and Value2.
Please explain with steps.

You have to go with SQL Results in the prompt something like below.
The 2nd statement can be other way so that its return all values..
Make sure that similar you have in report too so that you get all values for ALL
SELECT COL1 FROM "SA"
Union
SELECT CASE WHEN COL1 IS NOT NULL THEN 'ALL' ELSE COL1 END FROM "SA"
instead of not null you may go for like '%'
if helps mark

OBIEE 11g Dashboard Prompts can be selected sequencely (unhide/hide)

Hi,
I want to show dashboard prompt sequencely. The user completed one of dashboard prompt the other prompts can be hide.
How can I make a relationship between dashboard prompts for selection the prompts one by one?
Do you have any suggestions?
thank your replies.

Thanks. I would need only ONE Clarification.
the Fact table has data at Date Level. For Example,
Date Revenue Stage
20120101 123.98 1a
20120302 178.965 1b
20120401 768.99 1c
The report should contain the following columns based on date range selection:- Start Date & End Date
Start_Date_Revenue End_Date_Revenue Start_Date_Stage End_Date_Stage
So, I have used FILTER(Revenue using Date = 'Presentation Variable for Start Date') & FILTER(Revenue using Date = 'Presentation Variable for End Date') for Revenue Calculation.
Similarly, is there any way to retrieve the stage columns data for each date and show it in report?
Note:_ I have tried the filter function for Dimension Column to bring Stage but it works only for Measure Column

Suppress decimal places in OBIEE Year column prompts

Hi gurus,
I don't know its a bug or what , in our database the "Year" columns comes without any decimal places ,also in the criteria section of the report ,I have made the data format "with '0' decimal places ", but still in the column prompt in the dashboard , I am getting year value with decimal places .
Eg. 2012 coming as 2012.00 in choice list of the prompts . Can you provide me any work around? for that thanks in advance..

The problem is due the data type of the column . Go to the physical layer and check the data type . It would be of 'Double' data type .. Change it to 'Int' data type. This would solve the problem . Posting it for the benefit of others who face similar issues. let me know if it helps anyone..

Constraint not working in OBIEE 10G Dashboard prompt

Hi All,
We are facing a issue in constraint in dashboard prompt.
We have two database tables Employee and Calender. Both are joined through time_id key.
We have made a report from coloumns of both.
We have made dashboard prompt consisting of 3 coloums i.e.
Month-YEAR,
Week Ending,
Shift Date
First two are from same employee table and Shift date is from calender.
Both dimensions are also in Awnsers as it is.
All 3 prompts are multiselect. Constraint box is checked in all.
Issue is that, When I select a Month-Year in prompt, Corresponding 4 or 5 weekendings comes in multiselect box.
But when i select a week ending from here, i don't get corresponding Seven dates for that particular week.
Instead all shift dates available there in calender table comes in multiselect.
Does constraint don't work on coloums of different dimensions or tables?
Any body , Please reply with a possible solution.
Regards,
Apurv Mishra

Thanks @786372 for your response..
But, If we will make view for those coloums , then how can we apply ''Is Prompted" for prompted coloum in our report filters.
As per my understanding, to make ''Is Prompted '' work , Fx (coloum formula) should be same in report and prompt.
So, how can we create a different view only for prompt.
We may use presentation variable to make above work, i won't be able to create multi-select prompt.
Regards
Apurv
