How do I add a prompt (for a date range) to a report to filter out unwanted data?  Thanks for your help.

Hi Jean
When we have created a prompt for data range and dont want to see the data in the report from data range entered while refreshing the report.
Then in the record selection formula type in the following formula.

  • Prompt for Record filter

    Hi guys,
    I see where i can have a prompt for a Query filter...
    but
    i think what i want is even easier.
    i have a field called open which is true or false.
    what i need is to prompt if the user wants to see
    the open data or not.
    do I need a special version of Crystal to do this?
    thanks
    timalaugh

    Have this open column at last in the details tab....
    Create a formula which returns boolean 0/1
    say 0 is returned, if user sets "open" as TRUE
    1 is returned 1 if user sets "open" as FALSE
    Conditionally suppress the column "open" based on the Boolean value returned
    Thanks,

  • How to create prompt for inline filter?

    HI All. Can anyone plz help me, how to create prompt for inline filter?
    Let me give an examle...
    Suppose I've taken two columns as # of New Invoices and # of Cancelled Invoices
    Now, If I set a date prompt / month prompt, then the "# of cancelled invoices" column will fetch the number of cancelled invoice for that month only, which I have chosen in the prompt. But I want the "# of cancelled invoices" column to fetch data for the month chosen by me in another prompt.
    So, can anyone help me with the sql statement, which will fetch the prompt data (i.e., month / date chosen by the user) automatically and will furnish the result accordingly.
    Thanks.

    To create a column prompt:
    To create a dashboard prompt, use the following sub-procedure.
    Navigate to the Oracle BI Enterprise Edition Home page, locate the global header, hover the mouse pointer over the New menu to access the menu, and select Dashboard Prompt. From the Select Subject Area menu, select the subject area for which you want to create a prompt. The "Definition pane" is displayed.
    Click the New toolbar button in the Definition Pane to access the prompt type selection list. From the list, select Column Prompt. The "Select Column dialog" is displayed.
    Select a column and click OK. The "New Prompt dialog" displays. If your repository is configured for double columns, then ensure that you select the correct display column. For information on double columns, see "Understanding the Double Column Feature".
    The number of columns that you include in a prompt can affect performance. In general, you should limit the number of columns to as few as possible.
    If you are creating a dashboard prompt and want to add or remove related subject areas, then click the Select subject area button in the "Select Column dialog" to display the "Add/Remove Subject Areas dialog".
    To create an inline prompt, use the following sub-procedure.
    Create a new analysis or access an existing analysis for which you want to create a prompt. Click the Prompts tab. The "Definition pane" is displayed.
    Click the New toolbar button in the Definition Pane to access the prompt type selection list. From the list, select Column Prompt. The analysis' selected columns are displayed in the cascading menu that is adjacent to the Column Prompt selection item.

  • Calendar prompt for Date variable from bex

    Hi All,
    I have a Bex query where I have a variable on 0CALDAY
    - Customer exit (i_step = 1 to populate with current date)
    - Single value
    - Mandatory
    I created universe on this query and in webI selection screen i do see the variable prompt.
    I am not able to see the current date populated automatically since exit values are not populated to WebI at runtime.
    My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
    where user can enter the values directly.
    I am currently on BO XI 3.1 SP3.
    Is there any specific setting in Universe or bex query which is required to get this Calendar prompt instead of list of values for dates?
    Note: When we were on SP1 the universe created then had same variable from bex and it still shows us Calendar prompt but ever since we upgraded to SP3 for the query splitter functionality we not able to get the calendar prompt for date variable in new universe we create
    Thanks
    Ritesh

    Yep.
    Now tell me how you want to show that Prompt @ WebI report level.
    My problem is that in WebI selection screen we get list of date values from the info provider instead of Calendar prompt
    where user can enter the values directly. Exactly, i didn't get this??
    @Prompt:
    You have flexibility to show options like:
    Mono/Multi: User can select Single value or Multiple.
    BW Variable: Same we have (Single/Multiple)
    Free/Constrained: User can Enter his/her value directly or No change option.
    BW Variable: By defalut you will get this, once you made it to Optional input.
    Persistent/Not_Persistent: Refreshed report has to show last selected value means use Persistent otherwise Not_P.
    By seeing the Prompt syntax , I can say your Variable is after Customer Exit, Correct??
    Workaround for your Problem is:
    <FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A','Date\LovDate (Previous Day)Base',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    You have to remove that Date class and objects from prompt syntax. Because of that it showing up LOV's not calendar.
    Like:
    <FILTER KEY="ZV_DATE"><CONDITION OPERATORCONDITION="Equal"><CONSTANT TECH_NAME="@Prompt('Date (Previous Day)','A',',mono,primary_key)"/></CONDITION></FILTER>
    Why, It should be blank??
    Because Date needs no class\object to show up, by default you will get Calendar on the fly.
    Hope you got my point.
    Thank You!!

  • Passing two values in a column prompt for display and filtering

    Hi All,
    Is there a workaround to use two columns in a prompt for display and passing the input value for a prompt value in dashboard prompt? For eg we want to display the description in the prompt but pass the id to the filter value or presentation variable, just like we have in bi publisher,LOV automatically grab the two value for display and actual value to pass to the query.Therefore, user will click the description and corresponding id will be saved in presentation variable from the prompt .
    Thanks,

  • Date prompt for Answers report.

    Hi,
    I created a report in Answers. I created a prompt on a date field which shows when the Account was closed. I foramtted the date field into a custom date format and the results also display in that format. for ex: the format I created was DD-MMM-YY. When I create a prompt for this field the drop down values show as 4/24/2008 12:00:00 AM, But I want the drop down for the prompt to be displayed as the same format as the column i.e DD-MMM-YY. This is for just a regular report prompt (column filter prompt) and not any dashboard prompt. How can I acheive this? Thanks.

    hi,
    But the prompt displays DD/MM/YYYY. How can I make the prompt also display DD-MMM-YY? Also if I create a dashboard then how do I use the same prompt with DD-MM-YY formatIn both the report and prompt fx use the following syntax and make is prompted on report column "fx"
    EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ),Dim-Date.REPORT_DATE, 'DD-MON-YY')

  • Prompt for bind variables in SQL developer

    Hi!
    Just installed the latest 3.2 version of SQL Developer, and tried to do an explain plan.
    Now the tool prompts me for values for the bind variable. It didn't do that in my previous version (version 3. something).
    Thats anoying :-)
    How do I disable that feature?
    Example:
    explain plan for
    select * from emp
    where department_id = :1;
    If i right click on the statement or press F10, I get no prompt for the bind variable...
    Regards

    Old fashioned way, like this:
    EXPLAIN PLAN FOR
    SELECT * FROM scott.emp
    where deptno = :1;
    SELECT PLAN_TABLE_OUTPUT FROM TABLE(DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY());
    Executed with F5 gives me this output
    plan FOR succeeded.

  • Put User prompt for the associated report in BAM 11g

    I have a report zone wise distribution of total price where price>some user defined value.I implemented that using user promt at filter option.In my report there are 4 reports say report1,report2,report3,and report4 displaying at a time.Report2 needs that user defined value for the price to load.BUt in my case,before loading the entire report it is asking for that price value.I want to put the user defined prompt for price in the associated report.is it possible?Please suggest.

    You can achieve this by doing two things:
    1. Open you report in edit mode, select your View "A" (if this is the first view, it will be selected by default), click on "Change Report Properties" link on the left, this will open up Prompts and Parameters window. Click on your prompt and then click Edit. Click Next, Next and go to the third step where the values of prompts are listed. Click on any value and then click default (to make that value as your default) - an arrow will start to point to your default value. You could also select "All" and make it as your default value. Finish it.
    2. Click on Edit View and then for Data screen, go to "Surface Prompts" tab and choose for your prompt option Display in as "View title".
    Save and open the report. Now, it won't ask you to input any value before loading any of the views. By default, "All" (or the default you set) will be used to load View A and through drop down of values, you can change to filter the data in just this view.

  • Dashboard prompt for report which displays curent and previous FY

    We have a dashboard with the prompt for the FY and one of the reports on the dashboard should show results for selected FY and previous FY. Report has filters Fiscal Year is greater than or equal to PREVIOUS_FSCL_YEAR AND Fiscal Year is less than or equal to CURRENT_FSCL_YEAR. However if filters are not protected report will display only results for FY selected in prompt but if they are protected it will then ignore prompt. Any idea how to resolve this issue? We need this solution if FY 2009 is selected in the prompt report will display results for FY2008 and FY2009 or if FY 2010 is selected report will display results for FY2009 and FY2010.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    You can do this by creating a dynamic variable in the RPD for the current year as:
    SELECT (TO_CHAR(sysdate,'YYYY')) from dual. This will produce Current Year value.
    In the Answers for the report which refers to the Year Column. Make a filter from the Year Column. While making filter Click on 'Advanced' in the Filter--> Convert this filter to SQL. And inside it write this forumla: Column_name_will come=VALUEOF(Dynamic_Variable_Name)
    For Example-"Time Period Year"."Calendar Year" = VALUEOF("Current_Year_Var")
    Make similar filter and write the SQL Filter as- "Time Period Year"."Calendar Year" = VALUEOF("Current_Year_Var")-1
    (This will give you the last year value)
    And important is make it as 'OR' condition between the two filters.
    Hope this will resolve your problem. Let me know further

  • How to use LOV on a derived table dependent on a prompt for Webi web intelligence view.

    The semantic layer has not created a defined LOV for the derived table.   This only happens when pulling columns from derived table which depends on a prompt for unique selection.  When pulling from derived table that does not depend on a date prompt does not have an issue in Webi.
    I don't know if this is a universe design issue or WEBI.
    Webi Rich internet application   selects the date prompt first but if click on Storeno in List it returns a LOV with auto refresh.
    Webi Web Intelligence returns  List of Values for current prompt requires values for following prompts:   and when you click to refresh  webi responds with 'undefined'

    Hi…
    Can you check Prompt : Store No is created at universe level and defined the syntax correctly
    @Prompt(1,2,3,4,5)  insert a prompts in SQL. When the user runs the query, the user is prompted to enter a value for a refresh each time.
    1 = 'Prompt Text Message'
    2 = 'Prompt Type'  (i.e. A,N,D,U)
    where A= Character, N= Number, D= Date, U= Unit.
    3 = 'Class Name/ Object Name'
    4 = 'Multi/ Mono'
    Multi means Multiple ( Example = 2004,2005,2011)
    Mono means Single ( Example = 2012)
    5 = Free/Constrain (Type value or select value in LOV/ Select Value)
    Example for creating a @prompt filter is below
    @Prompt('enter year','A','time period/year', Multi', Free)
    Pointer to a “List of Values” from an existing universe object. You invoke the target list of values by double-clicking on the object contain ing the list of values that you want to use in the "Classes and Objects" panel. This gives the Class name and the Object name, separate ed by a backslash. It must be enclosed in single quotes. For example: 'Client\Country'. When you are using “Index Awareness”, and you want to return the key values for an object,set the 5th value to primary_key

  • Dashboard Prompt to filter multiple Subject Areas (in a Combined Analysis)

    I have a Combined Analysis where I am combining multiple Subject Areas. I want to add this report to a dashboard to use a dashboard prompt to filter by the Year.
    The problem I have is because the 'Year' value in each subject area has a different Column Formula ("Close Date"."Calendar Year" and "- Custom Number/Integer (Custom Object 2)".INDEXED_NUM_0)) I'm unable to have a single 'Year' prompt filter both Column Formulas.
    I have it currently working by creating two dashboard prompts - one for each subject area - that each ask for the Year to filter by.
    Is there a way to have a single prompt for Year and somehow have that filter both subject area's 'Year' value?

    I have tried a bit with no luck.
    In the Dashboard Prompt on that 'Year' filter I set the Presentation Variable to 'FILTER_YEAR'.
    I then set the filter in the report to be Equal to a Presentation Variable with the Variable Expr set to 'FILTER_YEAR'.
    When I run the report and enter the filter year it doesn't bring back any data for that report.
    Anybody have experience using the Presentation Variables?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    If anybody doesn't have a better sollution... let's trick BI...
    to have in one report one mesure that summerize for an entire year, and one masure that is for only one month and we want to filter on that particular month,
    we need to set on measure 1 that it is at year level (so it will always summerize for entire year).
    Now our problem that year is not YEAR(some_date) so for jan 2010 to dec 2010 to give us 2010.
    We want to have from apr 2009 to mar 2010 to be 2009
    so we trick the year map to be
    finanial_year = case when month(some_date) < 4 then year(some_date) - 1 else year(some_date) end
    so now in my measure if I set at levels to financial_year it will summerize from apr to march...
    Hope It helpes

  • Prompt for UNION query

    I have developed a combined request to use in a dashboard. The combined request is a
    UNION and consists of some columns that are from the same tables but also a few of the columns in the request come from different tables although they are identically named.
    For example, there is a column named Expense Type that comes from two different tables and the first sql in the Union uses Expense Type from Table A and the second sql in the Union uses Expense Type from Table B. Both combined requests specify Expense Type "is prompted". How can I make this work so that a single dashboard prompt for Expense Type can pass the user selected value to both sql's in the Union?
    I really don't want to make the user have to have 2 prompts, one for Expense Type using Table A values and one for Expense Type using Table B values.
    Thanks

    Wow! I can't believe it works without the request being imbedded in the dashboard but as you said, try it, and I did!
    One further refinement or clarification:
    This method doesn't work unless I use a presentation variable.
    On the dashboard page's Prompt I set/defined a Presentation Variable for the "Type" prompt and then in my 3rd request I set a filter that compared "Type"'s value fo the Presentation Variable's value. Otherwise no luck. Is that how you did it too?

  • Prompt For Value inbetween 2 Calendar Dates

    I would like to know how to set up the following in Answers.
    Report should show sales that occurred in between 2 dates. When the report is run I would like the user to be prompted for a Start Date and an End Date. How can I set this up in Answers. I know I have to create 2 prompts for Start Date and End Date but after this what do I do.
    Thanks

    HI pass the presentation variables for the startdate as 'startdate' and for the End date 'enddate' and save the prompt. In the report level select the column date(the date which you have joined)
    and use the filter for that date and use the between operator and add the two presentation variables startdate and enddate and save the report. Now the report will be filtered based on the dates you have selected.
    check the link below here they have passed server variable for the date prompts but you can use presentation variable.

    When you added the Filter parameter in the dialog bow, did it
    test successfully at that point (by clicking on the Test button)?
    Did it prompt you for the value of the variable you want to filter
    by?
    If so, maybe that variable is undefined or null in the web
    page when you browse it on your web site.
