Presentation Variable value to Drill report OBIEE 11g

Hi ,
We have a requirement to use Parent report prompt value in the drill report. So we have used presentation variable to pass the value.
Issue is when we go to drill report its not showing actual presentation variable value, its giving some other value( eg: we have two values to be passed to presentation variable 'Yes' and 'No' , even though we have selected 'Yes' in the prompt the drill report is showing results for 'No' but when we refresh the drill report its showing exactly as prompt selection.)
And we are using Advanced Sql filter to filter the records .
In 10g it has worked fine but in 11g we are having the issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raju

Fyi.. We are using action links for drill down.

How to pass Presentation Variable Value from Main Report to Detail Report

Hello,
I've 2 reports that is attached to each other. In my main report i've several report prompts and i am using i"s prompted" on my detail report to attach them.
But 2 of my report prompts are presentation variables(Names : FIRST, SECOND). Both are in date format. I've a filter in my main report like;
"ASSIGNMENTS_F"."EFFECTIVE_START_DATE" BETWEEN @{FIRST} AND {SECOND}
It works fine when i run the main report. But when i click on the numbers, i see that i can not filter my detail report with the chosen values for 2 presentation variables. It just shows all the dates.
I've tried adding both presentation variables in both reports as columns and adding 'is prompted' filter to them. But did not work either.
I just cant pass the written values for presentation variable prompts to detail report..
Please help :)

Hi,
What you can try is refer the filte condition in the main report to the detailed report with the option--> Filter based on another request.
Or you try creating another intermediate report which will refer the main report filters and pass the filters to the detailed report.
Hope this helps.

Presentation Variable Value not passing when used in Column Formula.

Hello Gurus:
Please help me with my requirement.
We are trying to show a data backout in report, for example.
For a Product Group Code of 2435 which belongs to Report Line C059 has a Sales Amount of $4,266.90 and in report we want the same Sales Amount of $4,266.90 to be shown as -$4,266.90 (Negative) under a Report Line C080.
So in a report there should be same Sales Dollars as Positive for C059 (from Source) and Negative Sales Amount for C080 (Condition to be applied in Report).
Solution I Tried
I tried to create a Presentation Variable (SQL- Which would fetch me Sales Dollars for Product Group Code 2453) which returns with $4266.90 and then applied it in Answers in Logic (Case when Report Line = C080 then @{Presentation Variable}*-1 Else Sales Dollars END).
Issue I am facing:
Presentation Variable is coming as 0 and if i give any Format (Default Value) it shows the same default value in report. I checked the SQL i used and even when I Preview the Variable its showing me $4,266.90, but not in report.
Please let me know a way to get this Presentation Variable value into my reports.
Also please let me know if i can achieve this requirement in any other way.

Thanks for your reply Paul. But there is no Invoiced Amount for Report Line - 'C080' from source. Invoiced amount of C059 should show as -ve Invoiced amount for CO80.
In a report C059 should show +ve Sales Dollars and C080 should show same amount as -Ve Sales Dollars.

Between-Filter on Column using calculated presentation-variable values

Hello everyone,
i'd like to know whether it is possible to filter a column with a Between-Statement using two calculations done on a single presentation variable in Oracle BI Answers
What i have:
- OBIEE 10g
A line-chart, which shows earnings over a period of several years: In 1999 it might be 100.000€, in 2000 it might be 80.000€,..., in 2009 it might be 95.000€ and so on.
What i want:
Now i'd like to create a dashboard prompt to be able to choose a certain year, for example 2006.
The chart then should show data for the year given (2006...) and two years before(2004, 2005) and two years after the chosen year(2007,2008).
Example:
If 2006 is chosen, then data from 2004 to 2008 should be shown in the chart
If 2000 is chosen, then data from 1998 to 2002 should be shown in the chart.
What i did:
- I created the Prompt, set its presentation variable to var_year.
- I then created a filter on my years-column, choosing "Between" from the DropDown-List.
- I added two 'Variable-fields within the filter-dialogue', each filled with var_year and a default value.
- I tried to add a +2 or -2 to the variable-expression field, but (ofcourse) got an error.
Thanks in Advance and greetings from Germany,
Chris

Sorry for not answering to your Posts yesterday.
I have to admit that i was unable to solve my problem, although the solutions posted, seemed to be quite promising.
Hammett81's solution
First, I gave Hammett81's solution a try and created a filter group using the 'Add filter' option/dialogue box.
This Filtergroup consists of 5 single filter expressions, which have been connected by ORs:
The way i created those filters:
In the 'Create/ Edit Filter' i've chosen 'is equal/ is in' - Operator.
Then i was given the chance to add a 'value' or to add 'Variable --> Presentation', which summons 2 textboxes (Variable Expression and Default)
Everything i put into the variable expression field will be put into the @{} bracket by OBIEE, after clicking ok.
So it is not possible to use +1, +2, -1,-2 etc. within this field, as this would lead to @{var_year +2} for example, which ofcourse does not match the presentation variable's name.
On the other hand, if i do not use a Variable Expression but a "Value field", then i can write @{var_year} +2 for example.
In my opinion, obiee wants to use the expression as a simple value though, rather than use it as a variable and therefore won't check the presentation variables value, when it tries to filter the data.
John's solution
Regarding Johns answer, i am not sure where to put the filter expression. Should this be added into the SQL-Query (Advanced-Tab) or do i have to add it within the columns formula? (fx)

Display variable values in Web report

Hi Bw Mates,,,
I am trying to display the variable values in Web Report.
I put one text Item in Template and checked the Variable Display and entered the variable name in List.
still I cannot see the variable values in the report.
Thanks for your help.
RSB

<object>
         <param name="OWNER" value="SAP_BW"/>
         <param name="CMD" value="GET_ITEM"/>
         <param name="NAME" value="TEXTELEMENTS_1"/>
         <param name="ITEM_CLASS" value="CL_RSR_WWW_ITEM_TEXT_ELEMENTS"/>
         <param name="DATA_PROVIDER" value="DATAPROVIDER_1"/>
         <param name="GENERATE_LINKS" value=""/>
         <param name="GENERATE_CAPTION" value="BORDER"/>
         <param name="SHOW_COMMON_ELEMENTS" value=""/>
         <param name="ELEMENT_TYPE_1" value="VARIABLE"/>
         <param name="ELEMENT_NAME_1" value="Z_CP_018"/>
         ITEM:            TEXTELEMENTS_1
</object>
as the other poster mentioned the variable name has to be in upper case.
if only_values = 'X' you will just get the value other wise
you will get something like below.
variable description = variable value

In OBIEE 11g, how can you set a presentation variable value from javascript ?

I want to set up presentation variable from a javascript variable. Does anyone knows the workaround for this ?

SriniVEERAVALLI,
Thanks for your suggestions. I want to make a custom prompt that is only my requirement. From JS I have made a custom slider prompt now I want to use this slider prompt to pass selected value in presentation variable. Since, we have slider prompt only for numbers, I have to use it for other values.
I just want to make my post looks simple and focus on the specific problem.
Anyways, thanks a lot for taking time to reply. Appreciate your help.

How to retain the presentation variable values for Dashboard Prompt

I've a dashboard prompt with date and two other drop down field, with default value as yesterday's date set for date and All Values set for other two drop down list. Presentation Variables are D1, P1 and P2 respectivilly
I'm using GO URL from "Report A" and passing presentation variable to navigate to other report (Report B) that works fine. eg:
'<a href = saw.dll?GO&path=/shared/Reports/ABC/ReportB&Action=Navigate&p0=1&p1=eq&p2="-%20Time"."Next%20Day"&p3=@{d1}>Test</a>'
From Report B I'm using Dashoard URL to go back to Previous Report like:
<div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn">
Return to Previous Screen</div>
This also works fine.
My problem is that, when users selects different values in the Main dashboard prompt for date and other other two drop down and navigates to other report (Report B), and from Report B, when user returns to previous screen (Main Dashboard), Prompts values gets refreshed to original default values.
Is there any way to retain the values of presentation variable in dashboard Prompt when I return to main dashboard from Report B?
I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks

Change your dashboard url include the column and column value for the date column sample shown below,
[a href=saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/sample/_portal&page=pagename&Action=Navigate&col1=Dim.Date&val1=@1>Return to Previous Screen[/a>
In my second report Date is the first column so I referenced it's value as @1 in the dashboard URL
note: replace [ with <

Importing a text file with variable values into web reporting

I'm looking for a possibility to import values from a text file into a variable selection in Web reporting.
With BEx reporting in Excel this is possible, by clicking on the multiple selection button in the variable popup screen, and subsequently selecting the "Import from Text file" button.

How to set Default to in Dashboard Prompt from presentation variable value

Hi all BI Gurus,
I am trying to come out from my problem from last two days and I am not able to find the solution.
Here is my problem.
I am having two dashboard pages in one dashboard. Both pages contains dashboard prompt. Now from the first page’s prompt I had set a presentation variable and I want to use that presentation variable’s value in to prompt’ s default value which is used in my second dashboard page.
I am hoping I can do that with Server variable or variable expression, but don’t know the proper way. I tried a lot with both but not able to find the solution.
Could any help me please?
Regards,

Hi David,
Thanks for replying. I really appreciate it.
Yes I am using the same column.
Let me provide you more details regarding my problem,
I am having one dashboard prompt for gender and it's default value is 'Female' so I am assigning that value in to presentation variable PV_GENDER with set variable option in prompt.
Now in my second prompt which I am using on second page of same dashboard, I am trying to assign that value 'Female' ( or the one that user had selected ) with the help or that presentation variable PV_GENDER in Default to. I tried all options (e.g. Variable Expression, Server Variable, SQL Result ) but I am not able to get that value.
If you need more detail just let me know.
Once again thanks for replying.

How to create a presentation variable outside the prompt in OBIEE 10.1.3.4?

I am having a situation as below:
I have a "Month" and "Year" dashboard Prompt.
Once the user selects a particular Month and year, that particular month's end date should be defined as a presentation variable. (For example, if the user selects 'September' and 2011 then '30-sep-2011' should be the presentation variable).
I dont want the Month End Date to be a part of the prompt.
Please suggest.

Error while fetching variable value from sqlserver database in 11g

Hi
We created a dynamic variable to fetch data from sqlserver database in 11g.But when we test it, it is erroring out as follows: "nqserror: 27024 the execute physical statement must specify a physical sql statement to execute".
Please help to overcome this issue.
Thanks.

Hello,
First make sure that you're able to retreive data from the repository (right click on a table and view data?)
To create a session variable follow these steps:
From the Administration Tool menu bar, choose Manage > Variables.
In the Variable Manager dialog box, from the menu bar, choose Action > New > Session > Variable.
In the Session Variable dialog box, type a variable name.
Names for all variables should be unique. The names of system session variables are reserved and cannot be used for other types of variables.
For session variables, you can select the following check boxes:
Enable any user to set the value
Check box that allows you to set the session variables after the initialization block has populated the value (at user login) by calling the ODBC store procedure NQSSetSessionValue(). For example, this allows non-Oracle BI Administrators to set this variable for sampling.
Use the Initialization Block drop-down list to select an initialization block that will be used to refresh the value on a continuing basis.
To add a Default initializer value, perform one of the following steps:
To use the Expression Builder, click the ellipsis button to the right of the Default initializer work space.
Type the value into the Default initializer text box.
Click OK.
you can do the same for a repository variable except that you will have to specif a refresh interval.
Make sure the sql your are issuing is correct by running it first using a client.
