Prompt for setting Top N

I have a report to list top N sources of data. For my report, I have 12 prompt fields excluding the prompt for setting the top N value. The report is working fine with the 12 prompts some of which are constrained. All the prompts have "All Choices" as default values. The moment I add the prompt for the top N, the constrained prompts do not show any value in the drop-down. To provide a little more perspective, this is what I have done to create the top N prompt:
Used any random field and then changed the fx with hard value 1. Selected "Edit Box" for the control. The specific value has been set to 5. Using a presentation variable.
However, if I add this prompt with its own "Go" button, then I do not see the issue described above. I would not like to have 2 "Go" buttons.
Please let me know what I am missing here to make it work.
Thanks.

As you said, 'All the prompts have "All Choices" ', this is one of the requirement's for the constrain to work. I believe that to get the constrain values, you might have used a SQL query
and you are getting the values. In that case, as per my knowledge, you cannot constrain a dashboard prompt when you are using SQL Results.
Constrained columns will be constrained by all other columns in the prompt. For example, if the prompt contains columns Year, Region, and District, and Constrain is checked for District, the values shown in District will be limited by the values entered in Region and Year.

  • Analysis prompt vs. dashboard prompt for setting presentation variable

    I have a requirement to include a prompt on the analysis (not dashboard) to select a year. This sets a variable when is then used in Report A. I then use the variable for a column filter, which passes 3 parameters to Report B.
    If doing this using a dashboard prompt, everything works as expected. The variable and other row items are used in Report A and passed to the Report B via a Navigate to BI Content Action Link. When using the analysis prompt to set the presentation variable Report A works but then I get this error when navigating to Report B.
    An invalid object was accessed during evaluation.

    I have a report in which I use Oracle analytic functions. But I have to show only subset of all records because of analytic functions. In case of ListBox I use a presentation variable in a FILTER(expr1 USING expr2). How may I do this in case of multiselect prompt? It doesn't support presentation values.

  • Connected ipod, no prompt for setting up icloud in itunes

    Per Apple: "To update to iOS 5, just connect your device to your Mac or PC and follow the onscreen instructions in iTunes."
    No automatic onscreen instructions when I connected my ipod. It is possible that, in the past, I had requested to "not be reminded again" whenever the update prompt appeared. Not sure what the next step is.

    After you connect your iPod Touch (Only 3rd/4th Generation) to iTunes, choose the Summary Tab. In there click Check for Update button.

  • How to connect iMAC thunderbolt port to a cable TV set top box?

    I am moving to a house that will have combination TV-phone-Internet services delivered via cable (Optimum is the provider).  I understand that with my new iMac which has a "thunderbolt" port that I can use the iMac as a tv monitor and DVR (recorder) and watch live TV or recorded TV.  I think it is possible to record  TV shows either on the iMac's hard drive or the Optimum DVR.  Beyond that, I get confused because I do not understand the details of RCA cables, coaxial cables, HDMI connectors, etc.  Apple does not provide support for set top boxes (I called Apple), and Optimum does not provide support for Macs (I called them too). Since Apple is the party advertising the capability of watching TV on a Mac, I would think the burden is more on them to explain how that works, and maybe they have done so on their web sites, but I cannot find it so far.  I can understand that the cable company does not want to tell people how to bypass the need for their DVR equipment.  Before I go out and hire a consultant for a few hundred dollars to explain it, I was hoping I might find online some tips on how to set up a system at home.  No luck so far.
    Am I correct in assuming that wireless connections are NOT an option because a TV signal has too much bandwidth to work wirelessly?  (I do have a wireless router already.)
    If so and if I am using wires to connect the iMac, am I correct to think I want to use the thunderbolt port for best results?
    If so, what next?  What exactly is the adapter or cable I need and how do I plug it into the set top box?  There are several people in the household, and so I would want the flat screen TV monitor to work normally at times rather than only use the iMac.  Does that require several set top boxes?   I would think that this would be an issue for many people, and it seems to me that this forum would be an ideal place to get help.  So far the people I have spoken with say "well it depends on what you want to do and what your equipment is and for that you have to go ask ___________[someone else]"

    I do not understand what Apple TV is.  I have TV already.  When I look up "Apple TV" on the Apple website I see that is has been redesigned to be small in size but big in entertainment.  Since I did not know what it was BEFORE it was redesigned, knowing that is has been redesigned does not help me understand it.  Now it is smaller?  So it was too big before?  "Watch Netflix titles instantly."  But I can do that with my mac and an internet connection now.  So what is Apple TV that makes it a better or different way to watch Netflix movies?  "Best of all, Apple TV is just $99"  Sorry, but how is that the Best of All part?  My Optimum Cable is charging me $30 a month for TV.  But Apple TV's best part is it costs $99?  Is that per month too?  I also see that everything streams wirelessly to Apple TV, and all I need it so connect apple tv to my widescreen TV using an HDMI cable sold separately.  Now I am really confused.  I plug in a cable to get wireless streaming?  If it is wireless, why does it need a cable?  If there is a cable involved, how is it wireless?  Color me clueless.  I cannot find a straight forward description of what Apple TV is.  And so I don't get how that is the answer to my question.  Sorry for being so simple-minded.  Thanks for the suggestion and I will go research further to learn what is an Apple TV. 

  • How can I get Safari to prompt for cookies?

    I've always used Firefox, but would love to move to Safari for its iCloud integration, but  it's a major frustration and  a deal breaker that it doesn't provide an option to prompt for setting cookies. Every other major browser does. What's the deal?
    Does anyone know of an extension that will prompt me to accept or reject cookies before they're set? Is there a Terminal command I can run? Anything?
    I take my privacy seriously. Unless I am logging into a site, I have no desire to accept a cookie, especially from Google or Facebook who will sell their grandmother if they could make enough money and get away with it.
    I looked at these two based on another thread:
    http://www.macupdate.com/app/mac/31018/safari+cookies
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/cookie/id415585910?mt=12&ls=1
    At least in the first one (which is free) all it seems to do is let me delete cookies after the fact or on quitting and manually set cookies as favorites. But not setting something as a favorite doesn't seem to prevent the cookies from getting set, which seems to defeat the whole purpose.
    I don't want some big,  complicated mess or a pile of features that I have to fiddle with in every browser session. I just want this to work like it does in Firefox, or Chrome, or Opera, or any other browser. Prompt when a site tries to set a cookie and let me accept it or reject it. If I reject it, it stays rejected until I reset Safari. Why is that so difficult?
    I wish Apple would get over it's obsessive phobia of anything approaching an advanced feature or interface element and just make things work again.
    Sorry, didn't intend to rant. Just looking for help on this.

    I didn't see it as a rant ... you're justified.
    You can send feedback to Apple >  Apple - Mac OS X - Feedback
    As it is, Safari won't prompt for cookies.

  • MDX OLAP Universe does not allow for a Top 10 rank on measure.

    Hello!
    I am trying to Rank a measure by Top 10 in count on a MDX OLAP universe based on Web Intelligence. The rank works, however for all the zeros in the row values it gives the same rank and keeps on appending. I then tried to rank a measure with the MDX syntax in the SELECT statement of the measure itself. The syntax is as below:
    <EXPRESSION>Rank([0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP].[LEVEL01].CurrentMember,
    Order([0MATERIAL__0MATL_GROUP].[LEVEL01].CurrentMember.Level.Members
    @Select(Exp Dem (Published)\Exp Dem (Published)),
    @Prompt(u2018Top orBottomu2019,u2019Nu2019,{u2018DESCu2019,u2019ASCu2019},mono,constrained) ) )</EXPRESSION>
    The XML is parsed because of the tags, however when using this measure in the query panel gives an error message for the prompt. Is there a way to rank a measure by Top 10 in the MDX statement above instead of the prompt for the Top/Bottom. I found the syntax in the OLAP Best practices guide.
    Kindly revert for any possible solution. Any inputs are highly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Vivek.
    P.S.: I am specifically looking to Rank multiple measures by Top 10 count without displaying zeros / repetetive values.

    Hi Ingo!
    Thank you for responding! I have gone through the OLAP Universe best practices as suggested by the guide. However, the Ranking has an offset of repeating the ranks for same value metrics. So if I need a Top 10 and there are 3 zero values in the column, the ranking extends to Top 13. is there any way to hardcode this as a predefined filter in the Universe on the measure, which states that the rank stays limited to Top 10 irrespective of repeating values?
    Kindly suggest if there is a work around for this!
    Thanks in advance!
    Regards,
    Vivek.

  • Bluetooth keys recognised but get prompt for wired mouse??

    I have a G5 10.4.11 and finally got my wireless Apple keyboard recognised by typing the code prompt fine.

    How can I disable this prompt so that it uses a wireless keyboard and WIRED mouse ok?

  • No variable audio output for Cisco CHS 435HDC set top box.

    Background:  Until the other day I had my stb connectected to a TV, using TV sound, with an HDMI cable.  The P265v2 remote volume control changed the TV volume.  No problems.
    My new TV & home theater system was recently installed.  We don't use the TV speakers.  While my first preference was to program the Verizon remote to change the volume on my Onkyo receiver, this did not appear to be an option on the remote's programming instruction page on the Verizon website.  Instead, I am directed to change a setting on the remote that makes the Verizon remote change the stb output volume vs the tv volume.  I changed the setting on the remote and ensured the stb box was set up for "variabe" audio output.
    Problem:  Using the stb variable audio settings, volume settings 1 through 30 produce the same volume.  (Volume setting 0 produces no volume, as one would hope.)  It appears the "variable" setting isn't producing a variable output as it should be on this unit.
    Thinking that maybe the receiver was complicating the sitation, I tried connecting the stb to the old TV and the new TV directly and had the same results.
    Now, while I am watching TV, I need to have the receiver remote at hand in addition to the Verizon remote.  It would be nice to have the volume be adjustable as it should be while using the Verizon remote.  I don't like the idea of using a seperate universal remote because then I would lose some of the functionality that the Verizon remote provides when watching TV, using the DVR, watching on demand, etc.
    I would like to know if this is a problem just with my unit, or if it exists with all of these units, which would hopefully be fixed with a Cisco/Verizon firmware update soon, hopefully.
    Thank you.

    Having same issues with hdmi and optical. Any fix to this.
    Hello,
    In order to control the volume on your home theater system, you'll need a FiOS TV Universal Remote that has the 4-buttons on the top for 'DVD', 'Aux'iliary, 'TV' and 'STB'.  The audio receiver would have to be programmed into the FIOS TV Remote, and controlled using the 'Aux'iliary button.
    Verizon's 4-Button Universal Remote Controls are available for purchase:
    a) online via www.verizon.com/fiosaccessories
    OR
    b) at a local FiOS TV store (call first to check if they have them in stock).  For a list of stores:  http://www22.verizon.com/support/residential/tv/fiostv/general+support/account+issues/questionsone/8...
    Presently, the default remotes for new set top boxes are the 2-button P-265 (newer version) remotes.
    Regarding a problem with HDMI/optical on Cisco 435 STBs, check out the following:
    Go to this webpage:  http://www22.verizon.com/Support/Residential/TV/FiOSTV/Receivers/Equipment+Issues/QuestionsOne/12839...
    Click on the link for 'Cisco CHS 435 HD DVR User Guide'.
    Open the PDF and go to page 22 for 'Connecting to a Home Theater System...'.
    Hope this helps!

  • How can I set my iphone to prompt for a password when viewing a selected email account?

    I can see a lot of people complaining about adhoc password entry when using email but nothing where people actually want to be prompted for a password.  If I have multiple email accounts and a phone where others can pick up and enter the top level security 4 digit number, I would like one of the email accounts to be slightly more secure than the others, hence need it to prompt for a password.  Does anybody have any ideas how I can do this?

    Sorry, there is no way to do this in the current iOS. Suggest such to Apple here:

    ‘iPad is disabled’ fix without resetting using iTunes
    Today I met my match with an iPad that had a passcode entered too many times, resulting in it displaying the message ‘iPad is disabled – Connect to iTunes’. This was a student iPad and since they use Notability for most of their work there was a chance that her files were not all backed up to the cloud. I really wanted to just re-activate the iPad instead of totally resetting it back to our default image.
    I reached out to my PLN on Twitter and had some help from a few people through retweets and a couple of clarification tweets. I love that so many are willing to help out so quickly. Through this I also learned that I look like Lt. Riker from Star Trek (thanks @FillineMachine).
    Through some trial and error (and a little sheer luck), I was able to reactivate the iPad without loosing any data. Note, this will only work on the computer it last synced with. Here’s how:
    1. Configurator is useless in reactivating a locked iPad. You will only be able to completely reformat the iPad using Configurator. If that’s ok with you, go for it – otherwise don’t waste your time trying to figure it out.
    2. Open iTunes with the iPad disconnected.
    3. Connect the iPad to the computer and wait for it to show up in the devices section in iTunes.
    4. Click on the iPad name when it appears and you will be given the option to restore a backup or setup as a new iPad (since it is locked).
    5. Click ‘Setup as new iPad’ and then click restore.
    6. The iPad will start backing up before it does the full restore and sync. CANCEL THE BACKUP IMMEDIATELY. You do this by clicking the small x in the status window in iTunes.
    7. When the backup cancels, it immediately starts syncing – cancel this as well using the same small x in the iTunes status window.
    8. The first stage in the restore process unlocks the iPad, you are basically just cancelling out the restore process as soon as it reactivates the iPad.
    If done correctly, you will experience no data loss and the result will be a reactivated iPad. I have now tried this with about 5 iPads that were locked identically by students and each time it worked like a charm.
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~
    Try it and good luck. You have nothing more to lose if it doesn't work for you.

  • How to exchange STD set-top for an HD Set-Top Box ?

    I am currently a Verizon FIOS customer.  Since there are no local offices in Southeastern, PA how do I go about both requesting a secondary HD set-top box, and also set-up a return of the one I'd like to exchange (a non-HD set-top).  Will there be a pre-paid postage sticker for the one box I plan to return ?  How do I go about formally cancelling the old set-top box so the charges stop appearing on my bill ? 

    Verizon will send you  the new box with a return label for the one you no longer want.  Simply place the on you're returning into the box that the new one came in, apply the label to the box, drop off at a UPS store or call for a pick-up.  Once received by Verizon, billing will stop and the box will be removed from your account.

  • Is it Possible to set Top and Bottom Margin for each section?

    I've been googling and haven't found an answer to this problem.
    I need to specify a different top and bottom margin for each section in my document. The "document margins" apply to the whole document, so I've set those to a low amount, and I can set the Layout Left and right margins - but the "Layout Margins" do not allow "top and bottom" only "before and after". This is a critical difference, because if you have 2 pages in a section, only the first page gets the "before" margin, and only the 2nd page gets the "after" margin. This is a little odd, and I'm frankly surprised we are in version 4 of this app - and you can't set top and bottom margins for each section.
    If you insert a "layout break" on each page, then you can get the margins to reset for each page inside a section, but this is not an acceptable workaround as I need to setup templates for staff to use that will "flow" like a normal word processor.
    Does any one have any suggestions?

    On page 49 in the English Guide version it tells you about Lay-out margins. This is the text
    *Defining Layout Margins*
    *In a word processing document, a layout margin is the space around columns in a*
    layout.
    *To change the layout margin in a word processing document:*
    *1 Click in a column.*
    *2 Click Inspector in the toolbar, click the Layout button, and then click Layout.*
    *3 To change the outside margins of the column(s), enter values in the Left and Right*
    *fields under Layout Margins.*
    *4 To specify the amount of space above and below the column(s), enter values in the*
    *Before and After fields under Layout Margins.*
    *The new margins can’t extend outside the page margins set for the document in the*
    *Document inspector.*
    I hope this helps.

  • Trying to do a password update but it asks me for a four digit pass code. Does anyone know if that would have been a significant date or set of letters or numbers I was prompt for in the past when I first bought my phone?  Thanks.

    Trying to do a password update but it asks me for a four digit pass code. Does anyone know if that would have been a significant date or set of letters or numbers I was prompt for in the past when I first bought my phone?  Thanks.

    It rather depends on where you are seeing the demand for a passcode. If, as I assumed, you are trying to change the password at http://appleid/apple.com then that will ask for a passcode if 2-step verification has been set up. On the other hand, if, as Csound1 has assumed, you have changed the password on that website and are trying to enter it in your phone (for which you need to sign out completely before you can do this) and are being asked for a passcode that can only be one you set yourself (unless of course the phone is second-hand in which case that would open a whole new can of worms).

Maybe you are looking for
