Query filter vs report filter

Hi,
when running queries in webi, on a universe that is based on a BW BEx query, we often see a problem when trying to at dimensions in to the query filter pane. This often lead to columns switching place and/or report just showing the technical ID, not text. If we do the same filtering in the report filter pane after the query has run, there is no issue.
When running a query on a universe based on a BEx query, my understanding is that a filter on a dimension (blue object), will be applied after the BEx query has delivered it's result to BO, and then BO/Webi should only keep the records fitting the filter. Why would this obscure the report result? Anybody else had issues with this?
The users are used to adding filters to the query, and not adding filters in the report afterwards, and they are expecting this to work...
Regards,
Øystein

Hi,
To apply filters at two levels:
The query definition u2013 this is the data defined on the Query tab, retrieved from the data source, and returned to the report.
The data displayed in the report u2013 this is a subset of the query definition data that you want to display in a specific version of the report
Filters you apply to the query definition are called query filters. You use query filters to reduce the amount of data retrieved from the data source. Query filters decrease the time it takes to run the report and ensure that only the data relevant to the report users is saved.
Filters you apply to the data displayed in the report are called report filters. Once the report is generated, you or other users can apply report filters to restrict the values displayed in the report table or chart. The values hidden by the report filters are still saved with in the microcube. You can modify the report filters to display different values in the report or remove the report filters to display all the values retrieved from the data source.
Tip
Filtering the query minimizes the size of reports, reduces the time it takes to refresh report data, and ensures that the data the documents contain is relevant to users consulting the reports. Individual users can then filter the displayed report values by applying the report filters relevant to their specific business focus.
All the Best,
Madhu...

Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer

I have connected TABULAR Model to Excel, and in the pivot the filter is on multiple dimensions. When doing the drillthrough action it gives error - Error: Show Details cannot be executed when multiple items are selected in a report filter field or in a slicer
Is there any workaround to this error? so that drillthrough can be done even with multiple selection.

Hi Vikas,
The reason behind the error message requires the knowledge on what happens at the backend. When you perform a drill-through action, a query is sent to Analysis Services. This query is expressed in a query language called Multi-Dimensional Expression (MDX).
Since the MDX language doesnot support drill-through command against a set (collection of tuples) an error is persisted.
For now, there is no workaround as it is a limitation of the underlying language that is generating the query.
When multiple items are selected you lose the ability to drill-down on individual metrics. To resolve you must either:
1. Select a single Item.
2. Select all items.
Hope this helps!
Please mark as Answer if this helps! Thanks, Rajasekhar.

VERY STRANGE Interactive Report Filter Error

I have a very interesting problem happening with an interactive report in my APEX application. The report runs just fine and has been in use for about 6 months. Just recently, the users have begun to run into problems when using the filter capability within the report. There is a specific column heading (RH Analyst) that they typically click on and select a specific analyst name (the list contains 10 entries). Most selections from the filter list work fine. However, when one specific name is chosen, they get the dreaded ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small+* error.
I have been working to narrow the problem down and have found the following:
1. The filter error is related to the content of one specific column (not the one I am filtering on)
2. The column that is causing the error is a CLOB datatype
3. The data in the CLOB column was inserted into the database from a form utilizing an "HTML Editor Standard" type of item
4. The data in the CLOB column was copied and pasted from an email that was being viewed using Outlook 2007
5. If I try to recreate the problem with exactly the same information, but copied and pasted from Outlook 2003, I don't experience the problem.
6. The only people experiencing this problem are people who have upgraded their system from Microsoft Office 2003 to Microsoft Office 2007
7. When I try to load the form with the data that was stored in the database, I get a 404 page not found error. This is the same error that I get if more than 32k of data was saved into the CLOB.
The data pasted into the HTML editor from Outlook 2007 (_this is the data that causes problems_) and saved to the CLOB looks like this when I extract it in SQL Developer

Roel,
Hey there! Hope you enjoyed your time off ;) Thanks for having a look...
Yes, of course I "could" update the functions, but this is NOT something I want to do. I'm one of those people that subscribes to Coding by Contract and the assertion routines at the beginning and end of my subprograms are an important part of that.
This may be a lack of understanding on my part with regards to the order in which Oracle does it's thing - or a bug in Apex... I'm able to duplicate the problem on apex.oracle.com: dmcghan/test/test.
Log into the demo app with admin/dmcghan. The home page has an interactive report, filter the name and you should get the error. When you look at the query you'll see a filter in the where clause that goes against the apex_collections table. This is populated from the post-authentication procedure. Let me know if you have questions.

SQL in reports filter expression

Hi All,
I want to filter the report using the 'in' operator and specify a SQL as the expression. I want apex to be use the result of the query as the list of values for the 'in' operator. Is this supported?
for example can I specify the filter as 'user_name in (select name from user_name_tab where group_id = 10)'
Thanks

Hi Micek,
Thanks for your quick reaction.
Yes you are right the ChosenValues will be replaced by presentation-variables in the final dashboard,
I just am testing it with constant values in the Answers module.
The problem seems to be that it is not allowed to use a sub-query in the filter expression.
The Answers web application says there is a syntax problem near <select>, while I expect the SQL to be valid.
I guess not all regular SQL is allowed in filter expressions.
And since the report does not try to fetch data, no log of a generated, real SQL is written to the logfile.
I need some alternative for the subquery, but one that is allowed in the filter expression.
The problem is based on the fact that the user chooses a different value then the one that is filtered on.
The timePeriods represent just one startDate, but I cannot use timePeriod itself to filter on.
Because I need a between value, wich does not make sense for a timePeriod element
such as '01-08' or 'JAN-08'.
Several timePeriod notations are used, so using SubString and || to calculate a numeric value from the timePeriod varchar2 is not a good option.
The error says:
Error getting drill information: SELECT "....
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27002] Near <SELECT>: Syntax error [nQSError: 26012] . (HY000)
Any input is welcome

Htmldb_application array reset based on interactive report filter

Hello
I was searching various forums on this topic and did not find usefull answer. I must be doing something wrong or just do not understand how come that others do not have this problem?? Anyway, here it is.
I have interactive report where first column is checkbox. Using submit process , I perfrom inserts/ deletes in database based on checbox array (htmldb_application). Everything works well untill I do not use filter on one of the columns. Such action results in resizing the report ( so number of rows is re-ordered / changed ). I want to run the same submit process on resized list, but it is not possible, because the array points to different/non-existing rows. I would expect that the array gets "reseted" accrording to the new result list, but it does not??
Example:
I load the page with the report, where I have 10 records. Two of them, row 5 and 7, have in column X value '1'. If I leave the report as is, check checkbox on any line and run submit process, action is succesfull.
Now I change the filter and I will display only rows where column X=1. Report now have 2 rows. I check checkbox on the first one, submit the process, but the arrays refers to row 5 ( the old resultset), which is not present in the report now ??
Can I somehow achieve arrays reset based on the interacitve report filter applied? Or any other solution?
Thanks in advance

 from REF_CUSTOMER_UNIQ big ) r ) r where rownum <= to_number(:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT)As you can see, the 'rownum' is gotten in the inner query. I suspect that when you apply a filter, the filter is applied to the outer query. Hence, the rownums will not be as you expect them to be. Instead of using the 'rownum' as the values for checkbox 1 and checkbox 2, I suggest you use a concatenation of
inst_id and customer_cd. In the after submit process you can then just loop through the f01 and f02 arrays , split the concatenated values back into their inst_id and customer_cd components and perform the Insert or Delete.

Interactive Report Filter Problem

Hello,
I ran into a problem with an interactive report today. When the report first loads, no issue. If a filter is added, an error is returned. The error is actually generated by an assertion routine that raises and exception if a NULL value was passed in. Here's a modified/simplified version of the query:
SELECT id,
   name,
   dept,
   emp.year_of_emp(hire_date) AS years_of_employment
FROM emp_table
WHERE id IN (
   SELECT c001
   FROM apex_collections
   WHERE collection_name = 'EMPS_UNDER_MANAGER'
);Again, when the report first loads, no problem. Then when the manager applies, say a filter on dept, an error is raised from the emp.year_of_emp function because a NULL value was passed in.
I know that all emps with an emp id in the collection have a hire_date so I don't feel as though I should have to add another condition in the where clause to filter those out (although that is the work around at this point). Anyone have any ideas as to what could be causing this?

Interactive Report Filter Expression

I am a (new) user not a developer.
The Apex developer has presented me with a web page containing an Interactive Report interface.
I seem to be managing just fine, for the most part, except to make a filter with multiple OR statements.
I can easily make multiple AND statements.
Is there some trick or special way to write the filter statement (OR is this just not possible with Interactive Report - excuse the pun)
Please help, the developer is stumped!

I don't think it's possible (someone can correct me if I am wrong) in 3.2.x, but certainly possible in version 4.
Taken from the Interactive Report help page:
FilterFocuses the report by adding or modifying the WHERE clause on the query. You can filter on a column or by row.
If you filter by column, select a column (it does not need to be one that displays), select a standard Oracle operator (=, !=, not in, between), and enter an expression to compare against. Expressions are case sensitive. Use % as a wild card (for example, STATE_NAME like A%).
If you filter by row, you can create complex WHERE clauses using column aliases and any Oracle functions or operators (for example, G = 'VA' or G = 'CT', where G is the alias for CUSTOMER_STATE).>

Hi user547704,
A couple thoughts about your posting. If your intention is to publish a how-to you might want to do a couple things. First, let everyone know what your name is by either signing your posting or changing your forum alias, or both. Second, give a brief introduction at the beginning to explain what it is that the how-to addresses. Something more than 'Multi Report Filter' I guess is what I mean.
A couple sentences that explains what 'Multi Report Filter' means to you and what problem it solves can go a long way to making your posting far more valuable. Othwerwise, you're leaving it to the reader to try to deduce your meaning and that might not happen all the time. Especially with folks from all around the world reading this forum and the problems that language differences insert into the equation.
Either way, welcome to the forum!

Add Exists filter into Reporting Services MDX

Hi, I have a piece of auto generated MDX which I need to filter. This was a generated by Reporting Services when I added a parameter to a report reading from a cube.
WITH MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterCaption] AS [Dept].[DeptName].CURRENTMEMBER.MEMBER_CAPTION MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterValue] AS [Dept].[DeptName].CURRENTMEMBER.UNIQUENAME MEMBER [Measures].[ParameterLevel] AS [Dept].[DeptName].CURRENTMEMBER.LEVEL.ORDINAL
SELECT {[Measures].[ParameterCaption], [Measures].[ParameterValue], [Measures].[ParameterLevel]} ON COLUMNS , [Dept].[DeptName].ALLMEMBERS ON ROWS FROM
( SELECT ( STRTOSET(@Yearly, CONSTRAINED) ) ON COLUMNS FROM [MyCube])
The parameter displays all [Dept].[DeptName] even though many are not in the report. How do I only show DeptName if it is in the report?

Hi Dark,
In SQL Server Reporting Services, the parameter will display all the Available Values for the user, and then the users select values from the drop-down list, and then filter the report data based on the selected values.
In your scenario, if you specify multiple available values from this parameter, then it will display all the DeptName on the report parameter pane. I have tested it on my local environment, the query works. Here is the sample query.
with member [Measures].[UniqueName]
AS
[Date].[Calendar].currentmember.uniquename
select [Measures].[UniqueName] on 0,
[Date].[Calendar].[Calendar Semester].members on 1
from(
select
( STRTOSET(@A, CONSTRAINED) )
ON COLUMNS FROM

Report filter and column formula filter help

Using OBIEE 11.1.1.6.8
I have a column formula in an OBIEE Analysis that queries data based on a specific File Date: 31-Oct-2013. the formula looks like this: SUM(CASE WHEN "CLOV - File Date"."File Date" = '31-OCT-2013' AND "Pending Claim - Process Time"."Claim Date" <= TIMESTAMP '2013-01-31 00:00:00' THEN 1 ELSE 0 END)
The issue is I have other columns that need to query data as of the most recent File Date available. For that, I usually use this in the report filter section: SELECT MAX("CLOV - File Date"."File Date") FROM "VETSNET OPERATIONS REPORTS". this will pull the most recent date available.
What formula(s) do I need to use so I can have other columns pull the most recent data while the other column always uses the 31-Oct-2013 date?

If you like to port the same logic in Analysis then that might be easy to do.
Not sure how to handle other column ie Claim without looking data, but try with a new metric max(File Date) and set the content level may be Year or as per requirement and use that column in the same expression
let us know updates

The default value as "None" for the report filter which is Value List type?

Hello,
I want to know is it possible to make the default value as "None" for the report filter which is Value List data type?
For example:The Project Classification Value List value type which have many value like "Supplier Rationalization" "Category Sourcing" "Contract Regegotiation" etc, and the value "Supplier Rationalization" is in the frist positon in the value list. When i use "Project Classification " as a report filter, the value "Supplier Rationalization" displayed as default value. And in the value list box in report filter of Project Classification , there is a value "None" which should be added automatically by system. So i manually filled the default value with "None" in Filter Prompt screen, but it does not work. After i display the report ,the Project Classification filter still use the ""Supplier Rationalization" as the default value.
My current ESO version is 5.1. I tried other ESO version like 5.15, if i manaully give a default value "None" in Filter Prompt screen for filter Project Classification, then the default value is "None". It works well.
Does anybody know if it's possible to do the same thing in ESO 5.1?
Thanks & Regards,
David

Hi David -
This is possible, but the technique is not too obvious...
To make "None" be the default choice for a query definition filter parameter of type value list type, you need to set the default value of the filter parameter to the following:
<internal id of value list type>:616:NULL
For example, I believe you will see that the internal id of the Project Classification value list type is 51, so the default value of the filter parameter would be:
51:616:NULL
I hope this helps.

Report -- filter with selection list -- show all values after select page

Hello!
I have the following problem:
- I have a report
- this report can be filtered with a selection-list
- the selection list is based on dynamic LOV and has a null-value
- I added the code of the report the following, to filter the report after choosing a value of the selection list:
... and (instr(type, decode(:P8_FILTER_type, '%null%',type,:P8_FILTER_type)) > 0)
This works very well.
But my problem is: When the user logs out and the next time, he logs in, the selection list shows " --- show all values --- " (my null-display-value) and the report is empty "no values found".
---> I want to show the first time, the page is selected ALL the values of the report. (this is now only possile if I press the button which belongs to the selection list)
I hope, somebody understands my problem.
Thank you so much,
LISA

Hello Lisa,
The first time it's probably NULL.
So what you can do in your where: (instr(type, decode(NVL(:P8_FILTER_type,'%null%'), '%null%',type,:P8_FILTER_type)) > 0)
Off topic: I also wonder if that where clause can't be simpler? Do you rely need the instr?
Regards,
Dimitri

How to not loose filter in report

In a report I use a filter and this filter can be set with a variable. Now from this report I go to the underneath form, but when I return to the report (after cancel, save, create ertc) I loose this filter.
Is there an effective way to keep this filter?
Thanks, Frits

Hi, resolved it myself.
In the page item, where I hold the variable. I changed the Source Used to
"Only when current value in session state is Null"
and Source Type to
"Static Assignment (value equals source attribute)".
Now it holds this value.
Thanks for the respons anyway.
Greetz, Frits

Unable to filter the report by clicking the last column's name

Hi,
I have interactive report page having lots of column. All columns were not fitting in the screen so I added a code in the region--- header and footer section---
<div style="overflow: auto; width: 1220px; height: 700px;">
I got a scroll bar at the bottom. But a new problem arised. When I am trying to filter the report by clicking the column name in the report page , a popup is opening for the first column but the pop up is not opening for the last column. For the middle columns, the popup is opening but not below its name. This pop is for filtering the report based on that columns.
Please give some idea to fix this bug.
Thanks,
Chandra Bhanu

You could try to display as many columns as fit your screen, and put the rest of your columns as form fields in a detail view, somewhat like this:

Please tell the steps how to do it.

Getting a "Displaying only the newest results below. To view all results, narrow your query by adding a filter" message in error

I have a list with almost 10000 items. I have a view that should be returning 8 items. For me, the Farm Admin, I see the full set of expected values. The message "Displaying only the newest results below. To view all results, narrow your query by
adding a filter" shows for other users. This makes no sense -
there ARE filters on this view. I'd rather not increase the throttle limit.

Hi Ajk,
Check that the list is not scoped by an audience; but, I'm afraid that either way admin, (e.g. non Farm admin or site collection admin)
I'd recommend exporting to excel, create two new spreadsheets and then import as custom lists.
Best of luck and cheers,
