Passing drill down value to prompt

Hello ,
I have an requirement like i have 2 reports one is parent report and child report, i need to pass the drill down value from the parent report to the prompt in the child report. i.e let us say i have customer name in parent report and when i drilled from customer name to the child report, in the child report the prompt sholud display the related customer id's based on the customer name on which we drilled from parent report.
Thanks for any help in advance.

Hi Venkatesh,
If I understood correctly this is what you want,
When you click the customer name in report A it will take you to report B with the corresponding customer Id in the prompt value.
You can use GO Url for this,
In the customername column write the Go Url, change the column properties to html.
sample go url,
'<a href=saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/users/administrator/_portal&Page=page2&Action=Navigate&col1=
"Customers"."Customer%20Id"&val1='||"Customers"."Customer Id"||'>'|| "Customers"."Customer Name"||
'</a>'
So when user clicks on the customer name , the corresponding customer Id will passed to the report B and prompt value on report b will change accordingly.
Make sure in Report B customer Id column is prompted.
Thanks,
Vino

  • Rebate agreement-Difference coming for credit note value and drill down value .

    Hello Friends,
    In 2013 we had created one rebate for which the validity period was 1st April 2013 to 31st March 2014 . At the end of each month, rebate amount was settled by raising credit note to the customer . Now at the end of March'14 during final settlement, a credit note was raised to the customer . The issue here is there is difference of 1.13 (Pounds) between credit note value and the drill down value for March'14 . Lets say our credit note value is-100 (Pounds)and Drill down value for the month March'14 is 101.13 Pounds. We are not able to find out why this difference is coming . Please let me know your inputs on this .
    Regards,
    Sandeep G. 

    Sandeep -
    During final settlement of a rebate agreement, it calculates rebate amout for the the entire time period less payments already made to a customer and then issues a credit memo request based on that.Please check all the the invoices created during entire period and check accrual calculation.It should match.
    You can check VBOX table to get billing documents for the entire period.
    Let us know if you still have an issue.
    Thanks & Regards

  • Drill down value not matching with Displayed Report Painter Issue-GR55

    Hi,
    Need your help for an issue in drill down value of report painter from actual cost coloumn.
    I have created a new report group based on OSS Note-157720 in GR55 Traction. This new report group will provide data of Planed / Actual cost, Planned / Actual Quantity of the project in range of fiscal year/periods. The issue in this report is displayed data of actual cost is not matching with drill down data. The actual cost coloumn is formula coloumn which framed by subtracting All periods cost coloumn, Before Periods Cost Coloumn and After periods cost coloumn.
    Could you suggest on this issue.
    Thank you for your cooperation.
    Regards,
    Rakesh

    The report you are running first might have been created with some hidden columns that contain more than one variables relating to period and fiscal year. These may not be matching those that are required to run the drilldown. Look into the definition of the drilldown report. If you would want to match the first report, It may be better to identify which report runs on drilldown and the run that report with the required parameters.

  • Drill down Report with Prompts

    I need to create a simple dashboard report in OBIEE analytics, which takes user inputs ( prompts )  for a YEAR , STATE ( & hierarchy) and displays Population
    State Hierarchy is ---> State -- City --Zip code
    Format of report is simple
    User Input    ( Section 1 )
    Year =  Year123   (  Mandatory)
    State = State 1  ( Optional )is
    City = City1 ( Optional )    ( State will be  mandatory as this drop down gets populated from State value
    Population Report  ( This should be initial view with a given Year input and any othe optional ones )                        Section 2
    Sate
    Population
         +State 1
    323222
         +State 2
    4343434
    And drill down on State should be feasible
    Questions & Issues I am facing
    1  Do i have to create a dimensional hierarchy  Column at Presentation layer to enbale drill down  . I have the related data  in 2 dimension tables ( Time  &  Region ) and the relation in Population Fact table
    2 )  If yes , how do i pass  user prompts to this report ... I was able to do using selection step  for the state ..But not able to pass the City and Year
    3 ) Year is not part of Report Display ..but an input ..How do i use the prompt for it .
    i was able to get the report in simple table format ( no drill down ) , with prompts using isPrompted ..But i am lost with the Dimensional Hierarchy + Prompt .
    4 )Is Dimensional Hierarchy needed for Drill Down  ? How do i pass all the user inputs ( as above )  to it
    Please suggest if there is any alternative

    The problem is with drill down . We need two types of drill down action link . One for 'All' to show all values and another is for 'Y','N' values. I can use go url for this scenario however, I am using chart and the column is a measure, I cannot make the data type html otherwise chart will be blank. I cannot use condition in the first drill down as it does not show 'All' values from union. only 'Y','N' .

  • Passing drop down value to java code

    Hi,
    I am using a htmlb dropdownlist element in a jsp file. And I have included the java code in the same jsp. I need to know how to pass the selected value from the drop down to the java code.
    Can anyone please help?
    Thanks & regards,
    Malita Fernandes

    Not a problem, please create a java bean class which is having setter and getter methods
    for example if you drop down name is Day and create bean class like
    public class week
               private Day;
               public void setDay(String day){
               this.Day=day;
               public String getDay() {
          return this.Day;

    <SELECT name=Day>
    <OPTION value="" selected>- Select -</OPTION>
    <OPTION value=Sunday>Sunday</OPTION>

  • To display drill down values in the same table

    Dear Friends,
        Suppose if you apply drill down on one object, it wont appear upper level values of that perticular object. If you want to display all levels of values in the same report during drill down.

    From your view I belive that currently you have a structure in Rows containing Shipping and Sales for Current and Last year. Moreover, you have Year in the column and that is the reason you are getting the numbers in two different columns.
    My suggestion is like this, remove the KFs from the selection of the structure and keep the name of each of the elements as it is. Remove Year from the Column and include them into selections of the structure elements.
    Add the KFs, shipping and Sales into COlumns. Now as you already have restrictions into your selection, your numbers will be restricted in the output, but again here you will have Shipping coming in one column and Sales will be another column.
    But you have above mentioned structure, you can include the cell refercing into the query. Overwrite the value of cells at the intersection (Shipping / Current Year) or (Shipping / Last Year) with the adjustant cells which will be (Sales / Current Year) and (Sales / Last Year).
    ______________________Shipping_____Sales
    Shipping (Current Year)______1000
    Sales (Current Year)__________________1000
    Shipping (Last Yera)_________2000
    Sales (Last Year)_____________________5000
    After you apply cell referencing, 1000 and 5000 sales will be filled in the empty cells next of shipping next to sales.

  • Passing drill down filter to a BI Publisher report in 11G

    Let's say we have a dashboard with a prompt and a regular Answers report. The user expects the prompt to filter report 1 and then make a selection from the report1 to navigate to report 2 which is now being filtered by both the prompt and the selection from report 1. I looked through the documentation on BI Pub 11G and it looks like if we now navigate from report 2 to a BI Pub report only the dashboard prompt (via presentation variables) will be passed to the BI Pub report. Is there a way to also pass the filters created within report 1 and report 2 to BI Pub?
    Thanks.

    Hi. That helped. I get the right value now in the dropdownlist. When defining the dashboard prompt I wrote some custom SQL:
    SELECT "A11_DIM_PERIOD"."DESCTEXT", "A11_DIM_PERIOD"."KEY" FROM "promptsource" WHERE "A11_DIM_PERIOD"."DESCTEXT" IS NOT NULL ORDER BY "A11_DIM_PERIOD"."KEY". Now the prompt shows the display values but as soon as I select on and hit apply the dropdownlist text changes to the Key values (whicih is fine for my parameters, because they need to be key values rather than text) but this is unfortunate for the front end user, they will wonder "hey, why did the drop down list value I selected just change". Right now, I dont know why. The prompts work fine just odd that their display data changes from rpd logical column description field to sort field.

  • Passing drop down values to email in Lifecycle 8

    Hello,
    I have a form which i have been playing with but havent got it quite working how i would like.
    I have an access database with dealer name, dealer code, and fmt email. What I have the form doing is displaying the dealer name in a drop down box using dynamic properties with the value being the fmt email. The submit button grabs the rawValue of the drop down and makes it the recipient.
    This bit works fine. The problem is, when the form is emailed, the drop down list does not display the selected value. There are five fmt email groups, and 130 dealers. This works out to on average about 25 dealers per group. I am pretty sure the problem is due to when the form is submitted, it maintains the value of the drop down, but since it is not unique, it reverts to the top of the group which was selected as it cannot distinguish which one was actualy chosen.
    I tried then using a unique identifier for the drop down, (such as dealer code) making it populate another form, then try and grab the displayed text from that field for the email instead of the rawValue, but I have had no success.
    Can anybody please give me some ideas on how i should tackle this? Locking drop down after selection?
    regards
    Darryl

    OK, I have progressed further using the editvalue command. This works great in Adobe Professional, but in reader it does not grab the eidtvalue (the displayed text) rather it seems to get the rawvalue.
    Does any body know why this is the case?
    I would love to get a reply from someone this time!

  • Drill Down Report/ Multiple Prompts During runtime

    Using XML publisher can I prompt the user twice during run time? For example:
    1) Enter your business id
    then based on the input, give user list of all depts under that business id.
    2) User selects the dept id from the list which would trigger the actual report.
    Can this be made possible using the delivered functionality and user interface?
    Thank you

    Hi
    1. This can be done, check the user guide for cascading parameters.
    2. This can not currently be done. Your user would select their business id, then deprt (based on business id) then hit View to run the report
    Its an extra click but not an onerous one, the user is focussed up on the parameter area anyway. IF you have a burning business case please log a TAR and ask for an Enhancement Request against product 1479 and we can look into it.

  • How to reset the value of drill down - Chart

    Hi gurus. I have a problem related with drilldown.
    is there any way I can reset the drill down value?,of course, except for using reset button
    (in  this case "reset" means "make the cell blank of certain value")
    I tried using "push button" and the cell is reset.
    However, even though the cell is reset, the cell is set to the drill down value in one second.
    ex. Drill down destination : a --> "" --> a
    (a is drill down value)
    Is there a way to reset the drilldown value?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your help , Sonja
    I used push button but it can not refresh(reset) drill down cell
    because the destination cell of the chart remains drill down value
    I tried like below way
    a : drill down value
    Goal : make drill down cell turn to blank after i used drill down once.
    1ST.
    when i click the chart and use drii down, a is entered into drill down cell
    2ND
    by using "push button", i tried to reset drill down cell
    but unfortunately it does not work.
    Although drill down cell changes instantly to blank after just one second, it changes to a, drill down value
    drill down cell changes like this
    1 ->   2   ->  3
    a -> blank ->  a
    i have to eliminate (2->3) phase or find another way to refresh drill down cell.

  • Drill Down Issue

    hi all,
    I have a parent report with 5 fields. out of which 3 fields are calculated field.
    i have to provide the drill down for those calculated fields.
    eg: parent
    A1 A2 A5
    >1 =1 <1
    aaa 12 1 -2 22
    bbb 2 1 0 11
    I have given the drill down for the ranges in A2
    Child report displays everything.
    If the user clicks on the value 1 then only that one value in child report should be displayed.
    i have made "is prompted" for the column A2 in both parent and child report.
    but still i am not able to get the proper drill down values.
    pls give me some suggestions...
    thanks,
    ilazz

    On the summary you have total not based on the location
    In the detail you are grouping the amount by location for the JAN 2011 which will not be equal unless you have loc in summary.
    Hope you have month & location are prompted and your summary data matches with the Database value.

  • First Page is Table and drill down page is chart

    Hi All,
    In my dashboard i should display only table. In table, if i select one drill down values. It should display only chart not for table formate.
    How to set this option.
    First page it sholuld be table
    Drill down page should be chart
    How will do this.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Create two reports one with table and other with chart in compound layout view.Place Table in one page and to to column properties->data format->value interaction->navigation->select chart report that you created under column through which you want to navigate to chart.Make that column as prompted in chart if you want to filter data based on column selected.

  • Drill-Down from several Charts to Same Target

    Hi,
    we have built a dashboard with 3 (soon to be 6) column charts and one line chart below. The colum charts represent 6 KPIs aggregated for a year for different warehouses. Each warehouse is a specific series (because we want them to have a individual colors). When the user clicks on a warehouse in one of the column charts, we want the line chart above to show the
    For this purpose, we have all column charts store drill-down values to the same two cells:
    - One cell stores the series name (warehouse selected)
    - One cell stores the name of the clicked line chart (we use a single cell with the chart name as source for the first series of each chart. After the first series is selected as the default drill-down, this source and destination seems to be used for every series selected, which might be a bug)
    Our problem is, all queries for the charts are loaded at startup. The default drill-downs for all charts are done, and we have a random chart in the drill-down destination. If the user clicks the same chart again, we do not notice this as the value of our target cell does not change. We have tried several solutions for this, but nothing is really satisfactory.
    Does any of you have an idea, or a similar dashboard maybe, where the drill-down of several charts (preferably with several series per chart) is stored into a single target chart?
    Thanks & Regards,
    Sebastian

    Hi Sebastian,
    You cannot have drill downs from different charts to the same target.
    As per your scenario you have 3 column charts with warehouses displaying their respective 3 KPI's values. I believe you would have created a series each for available warehouses. If you have selected drill down on load for all the column charts with one single target then at load all the three column charts will try to place the destination of their selected series(based on warehouse selected) to the same target.
    And also as you mentioned when the user tries to select the same chart again the target doesn't change, the reason is the same as all the charts are trying to put the destination of the series in the same cell.
    Instead of doing it this way, what you could do is to name the series of all column charts the same and have the series name put into one cell. Then based on this series name you can lookup the data for that warehouse and display it in the line chart.
    Here again the user has to select the same warehouse in all the three column charts else it wont work.
    Hope this was useful =]
    Thanks & Regards

  • Xcelsius drill down problem.

    Hi gurus, I'm developing drill down chart and table.
    I want to reset, making cell blank, the drill down cell when i click combo box.

    because the destination cell of the chart remains drill down value

    *Dashboard explanation
    this dashboard consists of one chart, one table, one combo box and one push button.

    Should i develop custom-component? i'm waiting for your answer.

    Amit,
    Can you confirm if what you're saying also holds for components with the "Enable Drill Down" option enabled, and the "Default Selection" is set to "No Selection (-1)"?
    I'm running into an issue where the "Default Selection" value is not cleared out after performing 3 levels of drill-down. On the third time I do a drill-down, by default the first element is selected, even though I've set the "Default Selection" to "No Selection (-1)".
    Thanks.
