Pivot Table page-item as a multi select

Can this be done? When placign an item in the "page" shelf of the pivot table, the default is to allow a single valeu selection, but can we allow multiple selections.
For instance, if I place region in the Page item area, can I allow the user to select "West" and "East" as opposed to just 1 distinct value?

Why not just use a prompt with a multiselect box then?
It looks the same for the end user, only now he have to wait when he chooses another combo... in stead of that he had to wait only in the beginning something longer

Populate the URL for popupURL from a Table/Page Item?

Dear all,
Would someone please tell me if the URL to run a BIP report can be populated from a table/page item when using popupURL and if so, how?
Background:
I have a Table called TBL_LETTERS with a varchar2 column REPORT_URL
I have a Page (Pg 303) which populates a Text Page Item (P303_REPORT_URL) with an appropriate URL string from the table.
Here is my problem:
I would like to replace my working javascript function (see below):
run myLetter_40()
popupURL('&BI_URL.Guest/DEV/TEST/FRM_40/MM_40/MM_40.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&P_CASE_ID=&P303_CASE_ID.&P_PERSON_ID=&P303_PERSON_ID.&_xt=MM_40_xf=rtf');
with something like:
run myLetter_40()
popupURL($x("P303_REPORT_URL").value);
...but this doesn't work.
With my limited javascript knowledge I can only guess that the variables successfully assigned values in my first function example are not successful in my second, I am probably just passing the whole thing as a simple string (like this: +&BI_URL.Guest/DEV/TEST/FRM_40/MM_40/MM_40.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&P_CASE_ID=&P303_CASE_ID.&P_PERSON_ID=&P303_PERSON_ID.&_xt=MM_40_xf=rtf+), but would very much welcome any advice.
Do I need to
a. Create the REPORT_URL string differently in the table so that when passed to the Page Item it includes the required variable data?
b. Something completely different?
c. Forget it, it's not possible!
ps. I am using Apex 3.2.1
Thank you in advance.

Thank you Erik-jan
when I look at the parameter in de popupURL function I notice that you use substitution variables &P303_CASE_ID. and &P303_PERSON_ID.
The value for these variables are filled in by Apex on page rendering.
If you use this same URL in your column REPORT_URL Apex will not fill in the values for these substitution variables.
Yes, this is exactly what is happening.
I would suggest you use option A to build your URL with the desired values.
If the values for &P303_CASE_ID. and &P303_PERSON_ID. are in the same table TBL_LETTERS you could use them to make a pseudo column for the URL string.
&P303_CASE_ID. and &P303_PERSON_ID. are not in the same table. How would it be possible to build the string (to store in the table) so that when it is run javascript identifies the variables?
I have tried building the string in various ways using syntax similar to below but nothing is working:
'&BI_URL.Guest/DEV/TEST/FRM_40/MM_40/MM_40.xdo?_xpf=&_xpt=1&P_CASE_ID=' + &P303_CASE_ID. + '&P_PERSON_ID=' + &P303_PERSON_ID.' &_xt=MM_40_xf=rtf'
Do you have any ideas?
Thanks

Drill Down in Pivot Table with item on page level

Hi,
I've got a pivot table with Chart next to it. The chart is a separate view, I did not use the 'Chart pivoted results' option.
My pivot table has one Page Level item being the Month Name.
I now have the strange behavior that drilling down on the Pivot table elements gives me No Results as my filter would be too restrictive. The problem is with the 'Month Name'. Removing this item from the filter shows the correct data. When I use the chart next to my data to do the drilling I encounter no problems. This is because this way the restriction on the month name is not added when drilling.
Has anybody encountered this behavior before and knows of a way to solve this.
Thanks for your advice,
Kris

My query looks like this :
SELECT TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (t1601.datum_prestatie, 'MM'), '99') AS c3,
t1584.description AS c4, t1497.project_group AS c5,
t1497.project_desc AS c6, t1497.project_code AS c7,
CONCAT (CONCAT (t2241.firstname, ' '), t2241.lastname) AS c8,
t2254.employee_number AS c9, t1601.duur AS c11,
t1601.datum_prestatie AS c12
FROM t_projects t1497 /* Dim_PROJECTS */,
t_organization t1579 /* DimX_ORGANIZATION_Project */,
t_organization t1584 /* DimX_ORGANIZATION_Project_Parent */,
t_employees t2241 /* DimA_EMPLOYEE_Prestatie */,
t_prestaties t2254 /* DimA_PRESTATIE_Project */,
t_prestaties t1601 /* Fact_PRESTATIES */
WHERE ( t1497.business_domain_code = t1579.department_code
AND t1497.project_code = t1601.project_code
AND t1497.project_code = t2254.project_code
AND t1579.parent_department = t1584.department_code
AND t2241.employee_number = t2254.employee_number
AND t1584.description = 'Specialized Technologies'
AND t1497.project_group = 'SUPP AP TM'
AND TO_NUMBER (TO_CHAR (t1601.datum_prestatie, 'MM'), '99') = 3
The last row being a check on the month number.
At the same time in OBIEE I get this :
No Results
     The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Request Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below.
     Divisie is equal to Specialized Technologies
and      Month is equal to 3
and      Project Group is equal to SUPP AP TM
and      Month Name is equal to Mar
The physical query doesn't even show the restriction on Month Name which makes it even more spooky...

How to populate another page item based on cascading select lists?

Oracle 10gXE
APEX 3.2
I've created cascading select lists based on the examples (using Javascript and AJAX) that i've seen on this forum. Thanks for help on that!
Now that I have these LOV's being populated without needing to submit the page, how do I take the value that is presently in each LOV and concatenate them together to populate another page item? I'm trying to build the URL string that will execute an Oracle Report once the user clicks a button.
Previously, when I had multiple Select Lists with a submit, the URL was being put together using an After Submit Computation that would set the value for an item (P26_REPORT_URL) on the page. Notice that a report parameter (i.e. parameter name and Select List value) is only included if the user has provided a value. The page item that holds these values is then referenced by a button for URL redirect. The URL Target for the button currently is: javascript:popupURL('&P26_REPORT_URL.'), but will not work at the moment because P26_REPORT_URL page item is not changing based on what is selected in the LOVs. Since I'm not submitting anything (do I need to?), how do I put together the values needed?
Computation for P26_REPORT_URL:
DECLARE
l_param VARCHAR2(2000);
BEGIN
l_param := '&REPORTS_URL.&report=&P26_RPT_VIEW..rdf&desformat=&P26_DESFORMAT.&destype=cache';
IF REPLACE(:P26_OLO_CODE,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_olo_code=&P26_OLO_CODE.';
END IF;
IF REPLACE(:P26_BEG_DATE,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_start_dt=&P26_BEG_DATE.';
END IF;
IF REPLACE(:P26_END_DATE,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_end_dt=&P26_END_DATE.';
END IF;
IF REPLACE(:P26_ORG_CODE_2,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_org_code=&P26_ORG_CODE_2.';
END IF;
IF REPLACE(:P26_FLAIR_ORG_2,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_flair_org_code=&P26_FLAIR_ORG_2.';
END IF;
IF REPLACE(:P26_BUDGET_ENTITY_2,'%'||'null%',NULL) IS NOT NULL THEN
l_param := l_param||'&p_agy_code=&P26_BUDGET_ENTITY_2.';
END IF;
RETURN l_param;
END;

Andy,
This is a great suggestion! After I posted, I started looking at a Javascript solution and figured it's probably what I had to do.
However, now the cascading select list no longer working for some reason after I added the function to concatenate the item values. When I remove the showReport() function the select list works again.
Here is what I have in the HTML Header portion of the page:
<script language="JavaScript" type="text/javascript">
function popupURL (url) {
w = open(url,"winLov","resizable=1,width=800,height=600");
if (w.opener == null)
w.opener = self;
w.focus();
function showReport()
var l_param = '&REPORTS_URL.&report=' + $v('P26_RPT_VIEW') + '.rdf&desformat=' + $v('P26_DESFORMAT') + '&destype=cache';
if ($v('P26_OLO_CODE' != '')
   l_param += '&p_olo_code=' + $v('P26_OLO_CODE');
if ($v('P26_ORG_CODE_3' != '')
   l_param += '&p_org_code=' + $v('P26_ORG_CODE_3');
popupURL(l_param);
function get_AJAX_SELECT_XML(pThis,pSelect){
     var l_Return = null;
     var l_Select = $x(pSelect);
     var get = new htmldb_Get(null,$x('pFlowId').value,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=ORG_SELECT_LIST',0);
     get.add('TEMPORARY_ITEM',pThis.value);
     gReturn = get.get('XML');
     if(gReturn && l_Select){
         var l_Count = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("option").length;
         l_Select.length = 0;
         for(var i=0;i<l_Count;i++){
             var l_Opt_Xml = gReturn.getElementsByTagName("option");
appendToSelect(l_Select, l_Opt_Xml.getAttribute('value'), l_Opt_Xml.firstChild.nodeValue)
get = null;
function appendToSelect(pSelect, pValue, pContent) {
var l_Opt = document.createElement("option");
l_Opt.value = pValue;
if(document.all){
pSelect.options.add(l_Opt);
l_Opt.innerText = pContent;
}else{
l_Opt.appendChild(document.createTextNode(pContent));
pSelect.appendChild(l_Opt);
</script>

Data format in pivot table calculated item

Hi All,
I've got a pivot table with a dimension on rows and a dimension on columns and a measure. I have a "new calculated item" based on the dimension on the columns which does the following: ( ($2-$1) / ($1) ) *100
I want this calculated item shown as a percentage like 1,2% but the measure must stay a whole number like 1234 (no decimal places or percentage symbols) any suggestions on how to achieve this?
Thanks in advance!
Gilles

Hi Kishore,
It is not helpful, I mean, it doesn't solve my problem. But nice post!
What I have is the following:
--------C1------C2-----C3
R1|--123--|--345--|--678--|
R2|--124--|--346--|--679--|
R3|--125--|--347--|--670--|
What I want is the following:
--------C1------C2-----C3---------calculated item
R1|--123--|--345--|--678--|--(($2-$1) / ($1) ) *100)
R2|--124--|--346--|--679--|
R3|--125--|--347--|--670--|
the column results must remain in the same format, but the calculated item must be in the format %9.99 (to see the percentage change)
any other suggestions?

Hide rows in Pivot table Calculated Items in OBIEE 11g

Hi All,
I have requirement to show values in Pivot table such that values are divided into two sub totals and also shown in Grand Total.
For Sub Total 1, all the rows can be shown with Sub total value. But for Sub Total 2, only Total value is to be shown but not all the rows. How this requirement can be done?
I tried to hide the rows in Sub total 2, but its effecting entire table so those rows are removing from Sub total 1 aswell which should not happen.
Have look in below table for more clarity. My output should be as shown in Table 2 not as in Table 1.

Thanks for your time.

Hi,
Thanks for the reply.
Here Subtotal will sums up the rows basing on other column (Dimension).
SubTotal 1 sums the rows basing on the another dimension( value A and value B). SubTotal 2 sums the rows basing on aother values(values C and values C.
I understand the above solution, but that is not enough to my requirement as I need to show Regions for Subtotal 1, but not for Subtotal 2. And these Subtotals are based on another column (other than Regions).
Hope this is clear now.

Maximum number of allowed pages in Pivot Table exceeded Configured Limit:

When trying to create Calculated Item on Pivot table Page section Item like Division dim the calculated item is 'All' -> sum * and Customer again the calculated item is 'All -> sum * . it performs the first calculation (for division) but in the next one it gives the error
"Maximum number of allowed pages in Pivot Table exceeded (Configured Limit: 1000)."

Try limiting the resultset or upgrade the [MaxVisiblePages]

Report Refresh on selecting All from Page Item

Hi,
I have a report that has the academic years as one of the page items. If we select the first entry '2004 - 2005' and then select 'All' from the page item, the data doesn't refresh.
However if we go ahead and choose any other value, for example '2006-2007' or any other entry and then select 'All' the report does refresh normally.
I've tried to search if this is a known bug, but I was unable to find any information. If any of you can help in this regard, reference to a known bug or if there's a workaround, please do let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi

Increasing the width of Pivot table Columns

Hi Gurus,
Small pivot table --> ( ie having less no of columns which generally can be seen in a single page without scrolling to the right)
If i have a small pivot table , then in the column properties through additional formatting options i can increase the width of an individual column.
However if the pivot table is Big,I am not able to increase the width of the individual column .
I tried setting width in the additional formatting options in the Content Properties( just above Rows and below Section there is a small grey box containing finger).
Now the Content Properties indeed increases the width of the column, but it also increase the width of the whole Pivot Table.
See...If i have a fixed number of columns in a PIVOT Table that do not change with prompt, then this solution work fine...
but the problem comes when the no of columns in pivot Table reduces based on the prompt selected.
In this case the less no of columns tries to occupy the whole width set in the content properties.
In short, with Content Properties the width of the PIVOT Table becomes fixed, irrespective of the no of columns coming.
Also after setting content properties, I am not able to print the report to PDF.
So the Question is... Can we increase the width of a Big Pivot Table whose no of columns keeps on changing based on the prompt....
Big pivot table -->
(ie table having no of columns which exceeds a single window frame and have to scroll to right to see the rest of the columns)
I hope i have not made things messy...
Thanks
Ashish

Ashish,
Yes, you can set a fixed size for these. I'm sure you are fixing these because of PDF issue which might be irregular in sizes. Just play arnd with Custom CSS options.

Problem with dynamic change a page item value

Hi,
I'm trying to dynamically calculated the value of an item based on a simple formula that involves the multiplication of two elements from the same page.
To do this, create dynamic action as follows:
Event: Change
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P19_DURATION
Action: Set value
Fire on page load: TRUE
Set Type: SQL Statement
SQL Statement: SELECT :P19_DURATION * :P19_RATE FROM DUAL
Page items to submit: P19_DURATION
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P19_AMOUNT
When altering the P19_DURATION get no change in P19_AMOUNT
Since my knowledge of javascript is almost zero, I'm trying to do this with pl / sql or sql. Try the dynamic action with a function or a PL / SQL statement and nothing works.
Have to use javascript for this?
Searching the forum I think it's something simple, but I did not find an example similar to what I need.
Regards

Event: Change
Selection Type: Item(s)
Item(s): P19_DURATION
Action: Set value
Fire on page load: TRUE

$s('P19_AMOUNT',amount);

How to drill down and keep all my pivot table...

Hello experts!
I have a question about how to drill-down in pivot table. If I drill-down I can see the result in the same place...but it dissapear other bins or measures...
Example:
Pivot table:
A
B
C
If I click in A I can see:
a1
a2
a3
But I don't see B and C.
I would like to see when I click on A:
A
---a1
---a2
---a3
B
C
In my example I have a lot of bins to do drill-down...so it doesn't work for me to create three pivot tables and to do a union...
Is that possible? If you need more details you can post here...
Thank you!

Alex, this isn't another question. It looked like you were asking something different. That's why I said to start another thread. The bottom line is that OBIEE can't do what you are looking for.
But I think what is more important is not necessarily how to do what the OP wants, but what is the best way (read: most efficient, simplest, viable) to achieve the goal.
In this case, I think a better approach to your reporting is to use to Dashboard prompts. The first would be like Vehices (which has Cars, Trucks, Motorcycles, etc. in the drop-down window) and the second, constrained on the first, called Models/Brands (which has values dependent on what is chosen in the first prompt). With "All Choices" checked off in the prompt design, you have all the combinations a user needs to see in the pivot table. If the user chooses "Cars" from the first prompt, and "All Choices" in the second, then he/she will get all the car models displayed in the pivot table. Or, the user could select one particular moded from the start.
In fact, this is how many product web sites are set up. This gives the flexibility to the user and the report looks clean and efficient. You can have the drill down on the particular model (value interaction) if you wish to supply extra data on the particular model chosen.
I think this is the "correct" answer, Alex, though not the answer to the question you posed. Good luck.

Session state of page item different from one region to another region

hi,
on one particular page I have two regions. A page item (LOV pop-up) is set in the first region. I leave this region with a button and jump back with a branch to the same page. The page item has now the selected value (as is shown by session state window). So far so good.
The second region (SQL query type) uses this page item. However, for some reason the page item is NULL in that second region.
Can anyone explain this behavior ?
ron

thanks Joel,
I did already what you suggested. The title in region 2 is evaluated to the same value as in region 1.
The SQL query (that actually runned with identical syntax before) is:
select bla from blatable where bla = :P920_RU
this generates:
report error:
ORA-12801: error signaled in parallel query server P000
ORA-01741: illegal zero-length identifier
So apperently the bind variable is evaluted to (or cached as) NULL.
I noticed something strange in the session window. There are several page items in the application. All of them are listed in the 'Session State' region. The page item that makes problems is the only one that is also listed in the 'Page Items' region. It is even listed when I start the session window from another page. Weird.
any other ideas ?
Actually, how could you possibly clear session state between rendering two regions ?

On button click of Infopath forms select multi select list box values...

Hi,
We have multi select list box on one of the info path forms. We have placed on button on this form. If user clicks on this button we want to select some of the values in Multi select list box (check box).
Is it possible if yes how can we achieve it?
Thanks.
Regards,
Amit Chhatbar

Hi Amit,
From your description, you would like to check items in a multi-selection box when a button is clicked.
I’d recommend you make use of rules in InfoPath form, i.e. when button is clicked, then set a field’s value.
However, if you are using multi-selection box, then you could only set the value of one item at a time. If you want to select several items at once, then we could use code. For more information:
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/blog/2009/07/understanding-multiple-selection-list-box-infopath/
http://www.bizsupportonline.net/infopath2007/programmatically-select-all-items-multi-select-list-box.htm
If you are using several check boxes to replace multi-selection box, then it will be more easy. The rule could be that when this button is clicked, set a field’s value (check box field) to true and repeat it.

Max Date in Page item

Has anyone figured out how to get a date field to default to max date when used as a page item. I have select max(timestamp), create an item timetwo that -= max(timestamp), you name it we have abused and used it. Nothing seems to work.. I am sure we are missing the obvious. Any help appreciated.
