Pass User Picked values to Excel Slicers

Hi, Is there a way to pass values from an external page to an Excel Slicer in a Workbook(which is on sharepoint) through a URL or something?
Our Front End Report is a .NET web page, and we want to be able to pass User picked values like Year = 2014, Month=Jan etc from that web page to a Excel Pivot Table(with Slicers on Year, Month etc).
Is this possible?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Hello,
Personally, it is impossible.
You can also try to open a discussion at Excel IT Pro forum regarding this issue to confirm this.

RRI with passing user enter values

Hi Friends !
Brief about my requirement for the RRI.
I have a Main Query. When I click on Goto option, it shud display the variable screen and pass the user entered values in the Jump Query.
In RSBBS, I tried with the "Assignment Detail" button, in which we have variable option, etc but via Assignment Details, its not working.
Please provide some inputs.
Thanks.

It sounds like you are trying to make RRI do something that it is not designed to do. For RRI to work correctly, the sender query must contain all of the values to be passed to the receiver query. Therefore, no prompting for additional variable values occurs during the jump from the sender to the receiver.
To quote the SAP Help on RRI :
"Queries, transactions, reports and Web addresses can be jump targets. The parameterization of the target action is taken from the context of the cell that you have jumped from. You can set parameters for calling a BEx Query or a BEx Web Application using input variables which are filled from the selection conditions and the element definitions of the cells highlighted in the sender query."
See <a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/99/08629bd3e41d418530c6849df303c9/content.htm">SAP Library - Report-Report Interface</a> for all the details.

How to Pass dashboard prompt value to RPD variable??

Hi Experts,
I am creating RPD variable with below query in initialization block
SELECT extract(month from Max(report_date)) from xyz_date_dim where report_id=14 and year=:YEAR
I am having YEAR prompt in dashboard..from this RPD variable i want to get MAX(month) from selected year in dashboard.Here my problem is unable to pass selected YEAR to RPD Initialization block.
I read some threads we can pass user selected values to session variables. If possible can any one help me how to pass variable to achieve my requirement.
can any one help me in this....
Thanks,
KSS.

So you want to pick a month in a dashboard prompt and have the answers report filter for that month, and return results for that month, month -1, month -2 etc etc.
If so try the following, lets assume your measure is simply called 'count'
in the BMM you have measure 'count' with aggregation set.
Create a new measure in the BMM called 'count MAGO' or whatever you want (this will be month -1)
in the logical forumula for that column, use the AGO function, syntax would be AGO(count measure,<time dimension.Month>, -1) - this function is found under the 'Time Series Functions' category.
repeat steps to create 'count 2MAGO' and use -2 in the AGO function to take off 2 months.
Repeat for however many Mth Ago's you want.
Then in answers, simply use is prompted on your month fied to filter the report for the relative month, select your 'count', 'count MAGO', 'Count 2MAGO' etc, the measure will be calculated for prior months relative to your filtered month.

How can i read user input value to my User exist

Hi Guru's,
I am facing one problem in Variables in BPS.
I am calculating days from Month/year .I have one variable it is for Days,Second variable it is for Month/Year.
First variable is user exist (for calculating the days),Second varible is user defined variable(this is a Input to the first variable).
When i am giving the Month/Year(02/2008)variable i am getting the 29 days from the first variable.again i am changing the value of Month/Yera(03/2008) i am not getting the desired value.
my doubt is my user exist not able to read current value of variable(month/year).how can i pass my value to user exist because this value is user input value based on this value i am calculating the days and dynamically displaying the layout.
Here is the my sample code..

I need the code to pass the value of User Entery into Customer Exit variable.
Customer will enter the date range and I want to pass the same date rage to exit variable.
If any one has code for this please let me know.
I found exit code in SDN but that is for Month or to derive other date .....but in my case I want to pass the same values.
Thanks,

Passing Multiple Single values in User Exits

Hello All,
I have a requirement where in, a user could enter either a single value, multiple single values or a combination of a range and single values.
This set of values need to be passed on to a variable with in a user exit. I have been able to get either one single value to pass or one single range. I am unable to pass on multiple single values or a combo of a range and single value from the user entry.
I would appreciate if anyone could help me with the structure of the code to pass multiple single values or combo.
I was wondering if I would need to pass the values into an internal table first and then pass it to the user exit variable. However, as I am not a strong ABAP resource, I am struggling.
Any and all help is deeply appreciated.
Warm regards
Sunil

Hello Marc,
There are two requirements which I was trying to address.
1. IN few queries, the users enter either a range of profit centers or multiple single values in the pop-up window. I need to pass those values from that variable to an variable of type USer Exit to derive partner profit center values with in the query.
For this I have been able to pass values for either a single value or a single range. I am unable to pass on values for multiple single values or a combo of a range and single values.
2. I am trying to create a query for the top 5 customers to be used in the Corporate Performance Monitor. However, when I am trying to use the variable of type "replacement path", the system does not allow me to release it for OLE DB for OLAP.
To obviate this problem, I was hoping to create a variable of typeUSer Exit" and then pass the values from the variable of type "replacement path" to this variable.
Is it a workable solution? I was hoping that the method to pass the values in both the above scenarios might be similar.
Please guide me.
Warm regards
Sunil

Passing null/empty values from a actionscript VO to a Coldfusion ORM object

This is the situation.
If you have an actionscript VO that binds to a Coldfusion ORM object via the RemoteClass metadata and some of the values are not set, null, or empty strings and you pass it from Flex to Coldfusion then the Coldfusion deserialization barfs saying the values are not acceptable date values (for type="date") or valid emails (for validation="email") or other such validations, even if required="false" on the property.
For instance, if you have the following actionscript VO:
package vo
    [RemoteClass(alias="com.companyname.Person")]
    [Bindable]
    public class Person
        public var person_id:Number;
        public var last_name:String;
        public var first_name:String;
        public var email:String;
        public var created_date:date;
     public function Person() {}
And you have the corresponding Coldfusion component:
<cfcomponent displayname="person" output="false"
    alias="com.companyname.Person"
    schema="dbo" persistent="true"
    table="PERSON">
    <cfproperty name="person_id" type="numeric" fieldtype="id" validate="integer" required="true" column="PERSON_ID"/>
    <cfproperty name="last_name" type="string" column="LAST_NAME" required="true"/>
    <cfproperty name="first_name" type="string" required="true" column="FIRST_NAME"/>
    <cfproperty name="email" type="string" validate="email" required="false" column="EMAIL"/>
    <cfproperty name="date_created" type="date" required="false" column="DATE_CREATED"/>
</cfcomponent>
Then if you pass the actionscript VO as is to Coldfusion, the deserialization complains that you do not have a valid email or a valid date for date_created. This is bad, bad, bad. Essentially if you have a validation of certain types (email being one) or a date property, or probably some other cases, then you essentially can not make it not required, it automatically makes it required because the Coldfusion serializer considers null/empty values as invalid dates or emails. But the serializer should not care for values that are not required, there has to be a way to pass null/empty values to these data types, but apparently there's not. If you pass an empty string ("") you still have the same problem. I know Coldfusion does not have null values, but there has to be a way to do this, otherwise it defeats the purpose of having required="false" and some kind of validation on the property.
There seems to be two ways around it. One is to override the implicit setters for the properties on the Coldfusion side and check for 0 length values yourself, then set the property if it is not, or create your own validation routine. I ended up creating my own validation function since I didn't want to have to write a setter function for everyone of these cases and I can pass back user friendly validation messages.
Have other people encountered this problem? How have you gotten around it? Thanks.

I realize that I didn't clarify that I am using ColdFusion
for getting the data. This class was generated by the Create CFC
wizard in Flex Builder.
package com.generated
[Managed]
[RemoteClass(alias="components.generated.clients.Clients")]
public class Clients
public var clientid:Number = 0;
public var clientfirstname:String = "";
public var clientlastname:String = "";
public var clientaddress1:String = "";
public var clientaddress2:String = "";
public var clientcity:String = "";
public var clientstate:String = "";
public var clientzip:String = "";
public var clientphone:String = "";
public var clientemail:String = "";
public function Clients()

Looks like a known workaround to this issue is to wrap the Flex object in an array.
The ColdFusion CFC will accept that as an array, with the first an only element being a struct, which is the object you built in Flex.

How to pass multiple MDX values for a single parameter into a drill-through report?

I'm thinking this will be an easy question for any experienced SSRS/MDX developers, at least I hope so! I've created a report that gives the user the option to choose viewing data for the current/active week, or YTD. Depending on which link the
user selects, the report simply calls itself and needs to pass in the parameter value for Active week. If it's active week, the parameter value will simply be "true". If it's YTD, the parameter value needs to be both "True" and "False" so the current
week's data is accounted for as well. I've set everything up except for the final step, and I have no idea what to type into the Value field below. I've tried different things: false, as you see below (it errors saying I'm missing the parameter
value), the value in MDX format: =[School Dates].[Active Week].&[True] (it said I was missing a bracket), a 1 instead of the word true (again, missing a parameter value). Nothing is working.
So my question is kindof two-fold: 1) how do you pass in the value at all and 2) more specifically, how do you pass in multiple values (both true & false) ??

I'm sorry for being so dense, but I'm not quite following, although what I've tried makes me think if I can follow you, it will work :)
To answer your initial questions, you are correct with both your assumptions:
1) detailType is the parameter that specificies YTD/Weekly, this is a "report defined" parameter that I am using to determine which Row Group to display (either YTD or Weekly)
2) SchoolDaysActiveWeek is the parameter that is being set to either true or false -- this is a field in the cube that states whether that record is for the current week or not
So in following your instructions, well that's the problem I'm not quite following :)
1) When you say Delete the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter from the report only, do you mean to mark the parameter as Hidden? If so, I've done this.
2) I'm not quite sure where to use the statement you provided me. You said to put it in the dataset, but I don't know which dataset. I assume you mean the "main" dataset (as opposed to the hidden dataset that gets generated when you mark a field
as a parameter). If this is the case, the only place I could see that would allow you to use such a statement is in the Filter section of the properties. I tried this, and it did not generate any errors, but it also kept my report groups from displaying
-- it just showed a blank report, so I think it probably wasn't bringing back any rows to populate them with.
I also tried going into the Expression section for the SchoolDaysActiveWeek parameter in the second screenshot and placing the statement there. When I did this and ran the report, I would get the following error:
The 'SchoolDaysActiveWeek' parameter is missing a value
So what am I missing!?
Also, thanks for taking the time to respond!!

Passing single/multiple values to stored proc parameter from crystal report

I tried below solution posted on this forum to pass either a single value or multi-value to a sql server stored procedure parameter (varchar datatype) from crystal report XI R2.
In my crystal report , I am displaying all the available parameter values to the user and the user will select either a single value or multi value.
This worked when I select single value and when I say show sql query in my subreport I see the following:
{CALL "XYZ"."dbo"."storedprocedurename";1('Product 1')}
But this did not worked when I selected multiple values and when I say show sql query in my subreport I see the following:
{CALL "XYZ"."dbo"."storedprocedurename";1('Product 1,Product 2')}
I think it might work if it is as below:*
For multiple values:
{CALL "xyz"."dbo"."storedprocedurename";1('Product 1', 'Product 2')}
Please advise.
Solution Posted on this forum is as follows:
Hi,
As you must be aware of that a crystal report created of a stored procedure will allow only a single value for inserting a multiple value as a parameter in your report and pass those values to your stored procedure please follow the below work around which will be helpful for you.
Symptom
In Crystal Reports, you want to pass a multi-value parameter to a stored procedure. The problem with doing so is that Crystal Reports considers the multi-value parameter to be an array.
How can you pass a multi-value parameter to a stored procedure?
Resolution
Here are the steps to pass a multi-value parameter to a stored procedure:
1. Create a Crystal report, and add a multi-value parameter.
2. Since the multi-value parameter is treated as an array, create a formula that uses the JOIN function. Create a formula as below:
//Formula: @JoinFormula
Join ({?Multi-value parameter array},";")
====================
NOTE:
In the formula above, a semi-colon (";") is the delimiter.
====================
3. Within the main report, create a subreport based on the stored procedure, and include the parameter to be populated with the multi-value list.
4. Link the Join formula in the main report to the stored procedure parameter in the subreport.
Doing so passes a multi-value parameter to the stored procedure.
Regards,
Vinay

Hi Vinay,
First you need to make sure the stored procedure accepts multiple values in the fashion 'a','b','c'.
Then, create this formula in the Main Report:
numbervar i;
stringvar s;
for i:= 1 to ubound({?Parameter}) do
s := s + "'" + {?Parameter}<i> + "'" + ",";
left(s,len(s)-1);
Link this formula to the sub-report's parameter.
Hope this helps!

How do I create a series of text frames using values from Excel list?

First of all, this is the very first script I'm attempting to write from scratch. I'm completely green at scripting, and I've picked up a few snippets from Adobe's ID scripting guide, but nothing has really stuck yet relating to this particular objective.
My supervisor keeps a master list of ad spaces, with the name of the account, how wide the space is, and how tall the space is, all in an Excel sheet. These spaces can number in the hundreds, and I am stuck manually drawing one rectangle for every space, which takes a very long time.
I'd like to create/have help creating a script that will take these values and "automagically" draw these spaces in the form of text frames, with the width (in columns) and the height (in inches) defined by the values in the master list, as well as the name of each account appearing in the subsequent text frames.
The script doesn't necessarily need to be able to pull the values straight from the Excel sheet; I can transfer the values to a support text file if needed, or directly into the script, changing it as I need it. A big thing (if it is not able to pull right from an Excel sheet) is that the number of spaces changes weekly, and so do the accounts, and the width and the height. Accordingly, it would be ideal if the values from the sheet could be changed easily, so as to create a new set of spaces as needed.
Positioning for each space is not crucial, only height and width. If they all appear on top of each other on the same page, that will be a result for me. The main idea is to not have to draw them all manually, one by one.
To me, this sounds like a tall order, but hopefully some experienced scripters out there can assist me, as I wish to become experienced as well.
So, the TL;DR version:
- Script needs to draw a series of text frames.
- Text frames dimensions need to be defined by width and height values from Excel sheet.
- Text frames must have account name as contents (from account names in Excel sheet).
- Accounts, width and height change every week in the Excel sheet, so must be relatively easy to exchange all of the values.
- The width values are on the Excel sheet as columns. It would be ideal if the script could convert those numbers into multiples of columns as needed.
- (Optional) Script can pull values directly from Excel sheet.
- (Optional) Script can define text frame fill color as gray. (If it works as I think it will, I could just select all the resulting text frames myself and set them all to gray at once... I'm not that lazy )
Thanks in advance to whomever can assist in any possible way, even if it is just a push in the right direction. This script will save 1-2 hours of tedium every week.

Sound like the perfect thing for InDesign Scripting.
I would copy the Excel contents into a text file, to get a format that is easily read from InDesign, and there will automatically be a TAB for each "cell" just using copy/paste.
Here is a piece of code, that you perhaps could go on with (adding variable to change pages and location on page, and other stuff).
The readFileLineByLine function, can be easily re-used with any function using "callback". You simply supply the function to it, that you want to be executed for every line of text that is read:
const COLUMN_WIDTH = 2; // Define the column width in inch
var pageIndex;
var textFramesExported; // not implemented.
// Add a new dokument. Set myDoc to app.activeDocument to use
// the current document instead of creating a new one.
var myDoc = app.documents.add();
// The doSomethingWithTextRow function is called upon for every line of text read.
readFileLineByLine('c:\\test.txt', doSomethingWithTextRow);
function doSomethingWithTextRow(row){
    // We expect the text line to be TAB separated (\t = TAB). We get that from just copying the contents of an
    // excel file into a text document.
    var cells = row.split('\t');
    var companyName = cells[0]; // The Company name in the first slot of the array
    var width = COLUMN_WIDTH * cells[1];
    var height = cells[2];
    // Create a new text frame for every row handled
    if (pageIndex==undefined) pageIndex = 0; // Count up when you have exported a number of texts, I leave this for you to do.
    var newTextFrame = myDoc.pages[pageIndex].textFrames.add();
    newTextFrame.contents = companyName;
    // The text frame is created in the top left corner.
    newTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0, 0, height + ' in', width + ' in']; // Top, Left, Bottom, Right
    // You might want to move the textframes to other positions, keeping track of how many you put out per page.
    newTextFrame.move( [10, 10] );
function readFileLineByLine(path, callbackFn){
    var myFileIn = new File(path);
    if (File.fs == 'Windows'){
        // This was probably added to recognize UTF-8 (even without its start marker?)
        myFileIn.encoding = 'UTF-8';
    myFileIn.open('r');
    var myEncoding = myFileIn.encoding;
    try{
        if (!myFileIn.exists){
            throw('Missing file: ' + myFileIn.fsName)
        var ln = '';
        while(!myFileIn.eof){
            // Read the lines from the file, until an empty line is found [now as a remark].
            ln = myFileIn.readln()
            // if(ln !='' && ln!='\n'){
               // Call the function supplied as argument
               callbackFn(ln);
    }catch(e){
        alert(e);
        gCancel = true;
    finally{
        myFileIn.close();
The file in C:\ in my example was saved as UTF-8 and looks like this (showing hidden characters):

Passing multiple integer values as parameter in SSRS

Hello,
I am trying to pass a comma separated multiple integer value parameter in SSRS report and it errors out complaining that it is not able to convert the nvarchar value to datatype int. But it works fine when I pass a single value. Here is the code I am using
for the report and I am stuck at passing multiple values.
SELECT
id,count(*) as cnt
from table
and ID in (@id) group by id
eg: if I pass 10,20,30 then I would get error however if I pass 10 then it works fine
Is there a different method to pass multiple integer values?
Thanks for your help.

A comma is, of course, a textual character and not an integer, thus the error you are getting. Multi-value parameters can be used for this.
Select "Allow multiple values"and set data type to Integer. Multi-value parameters deliver the values as an array. The query interface is smart enough to convert them to the proper syntax (comma-delimited) automatically so a statement like:
WHERE Field IN (@id)
where the parameter has an array of values {1, 2, and 3} is interpreted as:
WHERE Field IN (1,2,3)
You do not need to manually convert it in a transact SQL query. That is not the case for displaying the value array in your report. If you wish to display the array (described above) in your report as "1, 2, 3", you will need to use a join expression:
=Join(@id, ", ")
As DJ described, the other part to a multivalue parameter is the Available values. These can be set explicitly but given your example, I think it would be best to create a new dataset that retrieves a distinct list of the IDs that can be retrieved, perhaps
something like:
SELECT DISTINCT GroupName, GroupID
FROM table
WHERE [criteria]
Set the available values to use this query with GroupName (or whatever user-friendly field you choose for your dataset) as the label and the id as the value. The label field should be something the the target report user can easily identify the correct group
using.
If you don't want to or can't use a multivalue parameter for some reason then you will need to manipulate your parameter value prior to consuming it in your query. When you add the parameter to the TSql query and save the dataset, SSRS adds it to the Parameters
property of the dataset. Open the dataset properties and select the parameters tab. You should see your parameter in the list. click the expression builder (fx) button next to the value and enter this expression:
=Split(@id,",")
Note that the second element of the expression is the delimiter. If your text input has comma-space as a delimiter (1, 2, 3 vs 1,2,3) then that element must include ", ". My example just has comma so if you use that with a string "1, 2, 3"then
the resulting array will still have 3 elements but the 2nd and 3rd elements of the array will have a preceding space which will cause your dataset to error with the same error. As long as there are no non-numeric characters in any of the elements, the split6
will create the text array, SSRS will dynamically generate the correct "IN"syntax (comma separated) and SQL will convert the elements from VARCHAR to INT on the fly.

How to display user define value in list screen from detail screen

Hello Experts
I am working on task in which i have to display the user define value on list screen. like i have one list list screen which have one button for add..once i click on add which navigate to detail screen and detail screen has two fields one for ID AND other for name and detail screen has one button for save once i put value for id and name and click on save button which will navigate to previous list screen and those values which should be display on list screen.
Regards:
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
To navigate to the Master page on button click , you need some thing like,
oSplitApp.toMaster("masterpage_id");
to understand the navigation for Master/Detail page , have a look at,
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_uiaddon10/helpdata/en/df/adb6b7247e4826b0fcde472b029840/content.htm
Also to pass value from Detail page to Master page, you can use a Global variable to store your values on click of the Save button. For eg. You may have a global JS file which both Master and Detail page can access like App.Js, Application.JS etc.
After navigating to the Master page, you can read the Global variables and show it on your Master page.
