Prompt parameter in Report Title

I have created one summary report and this report has two drill downs detail reports. First Summary Report is Sales report by Country, Second report is sales report by State and Third report is Detail Sales Report.
I am passing parameter Country on second report. I used Narrative View to show Selected Country name on the report Title. This is working and Selected Country Name is appearing on Title (Narrative View). But Some reason I am unable to show State name on third Report. Still it is showing Country Name on third report. I want to show State name on it. Any idea?

  • Display In Between  Prompts Value in Report Title

    Hi All,
    I want to show the in between dashboard prompt value in Report.
    So that when user download the report he will come to know the date range.
    I have gone through the couple of links but it does not work.
    I tries the below one but when ever i am selected the to_date it reset the from date also.
    http://obiee101.blogspot.com/2009/03/obiee-between-dates-prompt.html
    Thanks

    I would add one thing to Saichand's solution which I use for the situation you describe. If you create two dashboard prompts one for the "from" date and the other for the "to" date and then modify your filter on the date column to be:
    datecolumn >= @{From_Date} AND datecolumn <= @{To_Date}
    ...then you just need to add two more columns to your report to house the presentation variables. Make these columns the first two so that in your Narrative View you can reference them as "Between @1 and @2"
    You don't need another report to place on top of your current one, just add the Narrative View to your existing report.

  • Parameter for report title

    Hello,
    I have a report with many pages and I need the same title on every page. To do so, I would like to use a parameter which could be defined by the user through a VBS inputbox and then reused on each page.
    I tried something with scalar parameters : B1, B2, B3... (see attached file) but I don't know how to change their values. Is it possible to do it this way? Otherwise, do you have any other method?
    Thank you in advance for your support

    Hello Jeremy,
    In addition to Brad's suggestion with the properties, have a look at the "Master Layout" function in DIAdem.
    A Master layout allows you to define some standard elements (those could include logos, texts - including variables, boxes, etc.) that will appear on each page of your report in the same location and cannot be edited or moved by the person working on the layout (somewhat like a watermark)
    Let us know if you have questions about this function, it's pretty neat ...

  • How to display the sort value in the selection screen in the report title

    Dear All,
    How to display the sort value in the selection screen in the report title? I have selected a value in the selection screen for sorting , but i need that values by which i have sorted with in the report title. Can you please throw some light on this!!
    Good day,
    Thanks and regards
    Arun S

    Hi Arun,
    Try this.
    1, Set one dynamic parameter,
    2, Drag and drop that parameter into  your report title.
    3, Pass the value(sort value) dynamically from your application,
    4, Cheers..
    Other wise Try with Dataset, create a dataset and fill thev alue into that.. Then  set the data source from CR designer. and darg and drop that data column into the report.
    Hope this will work,
    Regards,

  • How to add a filter/selection into the report title?

    Hi experts,
    Currently I try to fugure out how to set up a field into the page header (title) of a report in order to dynamically adapt the title to selected filter criteria. I tried to use the Reprot Filter Summary, but since I do have several sheets in my reports the information given through it is not applicable.
    What I would like to achieve is that the end user can select e.g. a category X and Y and the title says: "Report title - categories: X,Y" Somthg like this. I'd appreciate any tips.
    Best regards

    Hi guys,
    thanks so far. I managed to show prompts in the report. But still my problem is nor 100% solved
    I would like t achieve that the filtered criteria in the report title is separated through a comma like in the report filter summary - e.g.: {001, 002, 003, 004} followed by just 1chart/table that is including the whole information.
    When I however just drag a variable into the report it automatically created different sections, right? Like ........ table, chart, whatever... .......table chart whatever........

  • Presentation Variable - Display 'All Values' in Report Title

    If I create a Dashboard Prompt and then set it equal to a Presentation Variable, I then display this Presentation variable in the report title. For the Dashboard Prompt I allow them the 'All Values' choice, in fact, this is the default.
    The issue is displaying this in the Report Title, when it is 'All Value' nothing is display in the title, when they select a value such as 'Region D' then it works and this value will dispaly.
    I looked at the documentation and it says you can use a default value, however, setting up that still does not work. It still is blank.
    Has anyone seen this issue or know of a workaround? I'd like to have something like 'All Vales' display or is there a condition I could write to set this.
    Thanks

    Hi Guys,
    I have did the following in order to achieve your requirement:
    As usual, create a request with a column prompted and a dashboard prompt containing that column and set the Presentation Variable (ex: varDept)... bla bla..
    Placed them on the Dashboard to generate your issue, discussed...
    Now, what I have did is:
    1. Created one more Request with the column used on Prompt and specified the Formula to it as:
    CASE WHEN '@{Dept}'||'A'='A' THEN 'All Departments' ELSE '@{Dept}' END
    Note: Take 2 same columns (and hide one) because we are using above formula which does not contains the Column from any table.
    2. Created Narrative View and referenced the above Column.. @2 (in my case).. and specify 1 in 'Rows to Display' field. Do the formatting as required viz., specifying Font size, family....
    3. Place this request in between the Prompt and First Request..
    Now, you can able to see 'All Departments' if 'All Choices' is selected.
    Hope this idea will helps you guys..

  • Trying to get the value of a prompted filter on the Title bar

    Hi,
    I'm trying to display the value of a prompted filter, like a company name, next to
    the report title.
    Is this possible?
    Many thanks,
    Belinda

    What he means is this:
    1) You have to use a dashboard prompt and save it to a Presentation Variable.
    2) Drag any column from the workspace and place it at the beginning of your report, in column position one.
    3) In the fx of this column, delete what is in there and enter the name of the presentation variable (you can click on Variable>Presentation and type it in to have OBI put in the proper syntax).
    4) Now go to the Narrative View and enter @1. The reason you put "1" is because the column is position one. If the column was in position 5, you would write @5. Got it?
    5) Now because the Narrative View is a separate view, in your Compound Layout view, just add the Narrative View and place it on the top, just below your Title View.
    Now you will have the selected value from the dashboard prompt at the top of your report. If you want, you can also put Presentation Variables in the Title View as well. Follow the same syntax convention: @{pvar_name}

  • Formatting date of Presentation Variable in Report title

    Hi
    I have the following presentation variable, @{PR_WE_DATE}{Week End Date}, in a report title. However the date format shown in the title is different from the format in the prompt.
    In the report title the date format is YYYY-MM-DD however I want to display it as DD_MM_YYYY
    Can anyone let me know if it possible to format the date format for a presentation variable?
    Regards
    A

    I've tried this and all this output to the title is 2009-12-03[DD_MM_YYYY]
    Any other suggestions? Maybe I can change it when I set the variable in the prompt, did try {variable}[DD_MM_YYYY], in the prompt but it didn't work

  • Use of Presentation Variables in Navigated Report Title

    Hi All,
    It's regarding the presentation variable in report title. I have value interaction to another report based on Prompted values. But when we click on the value it will go to another report page and giving the results, but the title view is not changing as per the requested value. The title should change dynamically, but it is showing the P.Variables in place of prompted value.
    Below are the ways i have used the P.Variables:
    @{brand1} at @{customer}, @{sensitivity}% Sensitivity
    @{brand1}{'Prod'} at @{customer}{'CVS'}, @{sensitivity}{'15'}% Sensitivity -----(default values here)
    Version : OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0
    Could you provide me the solution for this issue.
    Thanks in Advance,

    Hi,
    You can use the presentation variable when you are passing the value from the prompt and filtering after
    clicking on the 'GO' or 'APPLY' button. So that assigns one value and is passed in the report in the
    page used.
    What you need to do is you need to have the 'is prompted' for the column used in the title
    or you can make the column is equal to @{pres_var}.
    But still if you dont use the columns in the report and you dont want to filter the report with the title columns
    then you can use narrative view with all the columns used in the title and have 'is prompted' and make its formatting similar to title view and save as a separate report
    And place the narrative view above the report

  • Insert dynamic variable in report title?

    Hi
    I am new to Discoverer. I have created a report that displayed a set of data based on the value of last month. So I have created a calculation that gets the value of last month:
    LAST_MONTH = TO_CHAR(ADD_MONTHS(TRUNC(SYSDATE,'MM'),-1),'MON/YYYY')
    I then use the value of LAST_MONTH to select dates from my data where DATE LIKE LAST_MONTH.
    But I want the report title to actually have the value of LAST_MONTH in it, so it actually says something like
    Report for NOV/2009
    dynamically etc.
    Is this possible?
    Thanks
    Lee

    Hi Lee
    To add to what Rod has said, which is 100% correct, let me explain why.
    In order to get something into the title of any report or document, whether this be Word, Excel, SQL or even Discoverer, that something must be applicable to all of the values currently displayed on the page of the report. Whereas Word or Excel will allow you to manually place something into the title, Discoverer does not. In order for Discoverer to allow you to place something into the title it must either be a Page Item or a Parameter. This is because Page Items and Parameters are guaranteed to be unique to the page of the report being displayed. Thus, if you had more than one Page Item, as you move from one to the next the title would dynamically change. When you have a fixed value or calculation, such as your LAST_MONTH, you still need to display it in the Page Items in order to place it on your title.
    To make a Page Item or Parameter display in the title you simply type the & character followed by the name of the item as it appears in the Page Items or by the name you gave the Parameter. Case is import too so last_month is not the same as LAST_MONTH.
    Whenever Discoverer encounters the character & in the title it starts looking for a Parameter or Page Item named by whatever is following the &. If it finds a match it displays the value. It no match is found then it literally displays whatever you typed. Any additional characters that you type after a successful match are also display literally.
    For example: suppose you Page Item is called LAST_MONTH and the value was NOV-09 but in the title you typed &LAST_MONTHS then what will display would be NOV-09S. However, if you typed $last_months then you will literally see &last_month in the title.
    I hope this helps.
    Best wishes

  • Passing report name as report title

    Using Desktop Publisher for Word and a standalone BIP Enterprise version, is it possible to pass the report name to the rtf template so that it could be used as the report title?
    This feature would be useful when there are multiple reports (different names and slightly different queries/criteria) that use the same templates. We could then dynamically change the report title based on the report name.
    Thanks,
    Haresh

    Haresh,
    I'm not sure if there is any simple way to print report name in rtf template.
    But there is a work around. Follow below steps...
    1>create parameter called Report_Name in every report
    2>put default value for that parameter as report name (Title)
    3>select parameter type as Hidden
    Now in rtf template.
    <?param@begin:Report_Name?>
    <?$Report_Name?>

  • Changing Report Title format in Discover 4i Viewer

    I have been reviewing the style sheets for configuring discoverer 4i viewer and have been able to change logos and remove copyrights etc. but I am having difficulty changing the format of the report title. the current title concatinates the discoverer report owner, name and description. ex:
    SYSADMIN.Search_Pending_and_Approved.DIS - Search Deals and Opportunities
    which frankly looks aweful to an end user, much less an external end user (we are pushing reports out to partners via Partner Management partner portal).
    I think that I found the place to change this in the gui objects style sheet, but it appears that there is only one parameter passing this whole thing. Is there a way to just display the description. ex:
    Search Deals and Opportunities
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance
    Dean

    Right click on the date field -> choose textbox properties -> choose number -> choose Date -> and choose the format you want or choose a custom format  "YYYY-MM-DD"

  • Forcing "No Values" for "Optional Prompt" parameter

    Hello,
    I develop the .NET web application with Crystal Reports 2008.
    I have the Crystal Report with one parameter.
    This parameter is "Optional Prompt" (ParameterFieldDefinition.IsOptionalPrompt = true).
    At first the webpage (with CrystalReportViewer control) shows the prompt field to enter parameter values, and "OK" button.
    If user doesn't enter any values and clicks button, data for default value appears.
    So the question: How can I force a showing the data for default parameter value, without prompt field appearance?
    In this case: user opens the webpage, and data for default value appears.

    Hi Ludek.
    1. Is SP3 required to get the answer?
    If so, I'll install it.
    2. The default value is the empty value.
    let me describe problem in details:
    The Crystal Report shows Customers data from MS SQL database.
    This Crystal Report has 1 parameter: CustomerID (string).
    If user enters value for this parameter, the report shows data only for Customer with entered CustomerID.
    But if user doesn't enter any value, all the data appears (for all Customers).
    So, the page with prompt field appears when user opens the web page with this report.
    If user enters some CustomerID and clicks "OK" button, the web page reloads and data for this Customer appears.
    If user doesn't enter any value and clicks "OK" button, the web page reloads and shows data for all Customers.
    This is the CORRECT behavior!
    But in some cases I need to omit the page with prompt field.
    I need to see data for all customers immediately.
    Is it possible?
    I tried to set "" (empty string) value for this parameter, but prompt field still appears.
    3. .NET version is 4.0
    4. Both - it happens on my development machine, and on other machine after deploy.
