Read Values of Report Filters through VBA

Hi,
I am actually trying to read the values of report filters through VBA. In the image below I want to read the values for the Report Filter State and Team. Can you please help me with some sample code.
Any help in this regard will be highly appreciated.
Thanks,

Reading values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013

We are able to read the values of text, number columns through custom workflow (via coding) in SharePoint 2013. However, we are not able to read values from lookup columns. So, request anyone to provide help on this.
Thanks & regards,
Aditya

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you want to read values from lookup columns through custom workflow in SharePoint 2013.
Since the workflow just doesn't get lookup fields, let's give it something static to work with instead. If we can capture the ID of the lookup field and store that as a static value in our list, the workflow can happily use that to look up our related.
For more information, you can refer to:
SharePoint 2013 Workflows and Lookup Columns

Drill-Through Report automation through VBA

Hi,
I've been making macros using standard VBA functions in Excel Essbase. For this, I've been using functions defined in essxlvba.txt.
My Essbase database has linked objects which gives the transaction level data for selected cells.
If I call EssMenuVLinkedObjects function, the control gets passed the linked object window and this needs to be controlled manually. Which defeats my purpose of automation of drill-through retrieval. I'm searching for functions using which I should be able to bypass the Linked-Object window and Drill-Through window and get the desired data. This is because I've to retrieve huge amount of data and I want to eliminate any manual steps.
I've been exploring Oracle website and found that there are Visual Basic Main API Functions and I tried to explore them also but I could not find various constants and structure declaration.
Please help.
Subhash.

The VB Main API declarations (including functions, constants and structures) are in a file named esb32.bas. This will be in a subdirectory on the client named \api\include - exact location depends on your version.
I've never tried automating the execution of drill-through reports, so I'm afraid I can't help on the specifics.
Just a thought though - if you need to pull a 'huge amount of data' and want to do this without manual intervention, Essbase drill-through might not be most suitable mechanism. It sounds more suited to a relational extract / query tool.

Filtered Value in Reports

Hi all,
I have a requirement where in whenever a user filters on any characteristic in the report a dynamic text should appear on a screen which says, "Report filtered by - XXXX".
I tried using info item and dynamic filters but that doesnt serve my purpose , because they are always visible on the screen even if the data is not filtered on any characterictic.
Can anyone please help me with this.
Any ideas or suggestions will be very helpfull.
I promise to assign points for helpfull answers.
Thanks in advance,
Vivek

If you are using the web application designer, the "filter" web item could be entered above the query results. The properties of the "filter" could be set to always show by removing the checkmark from "collapsed".
If you are not using a web template, a simple BEX query that has the first object placed in the rows section would sort the results by the characteristic which the user entered via a variable. The column heading could be changed to be anything that you want it to say.

How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?

How can I distinguish special characters or signs in Doc through VBA?
I have a few large documents written in word 2003 format and now I work on them under word 2007.
Such large documents containing lots of special characters. I want to change them into Microsoft 3.0 equation form（It is required by the team). I find no way but using function AddOLEObject and Sendkeys through VBA. Common characters can be added
to equation by function Sendkeys, but the return value of Asc() or AscW() for "double arrow", "in" , " not greater than " such special characters or signs, to name but a few are the same ,i.e., 40 And I cannot distinguish them.
I found the link http://msdn.itags.org/word/44333/ may be of use to me, and the title is:
How to read symbols from a DOC documents! (Microsoft Word)
the original question is
Using function "InsertSymbol", I can insert a symbol into a document. But
how can I read a symbol from a document?
Using "Characters(i).range.text", I can read a char. But when meeting a
symbol, the value of "Characters(i).range.text" is always '('.How can I get the CharacterNumber of the symbol.
And the final answer is :
Hi chenfeng,
Word protects symbols from symbol fonts if you insert them from the "Insert
> Symbol" dialog.
This is done so they aren't changed when you change the font or style. But
it also results in Word reporting AscW( ) = 40 on all of them.
I've posted a macro to "unprotect" them (or to protect them again if you
want) ... just today again in

Clearing Interactive Report filters without clearing report settings

APEX 4.0
Oracle 10g
I have an IRR, the report is saved as primary for displaying 200 rows at at time for each page (Page 3) The customer can filter upon many columns and can use mutliple filters through the Action -> Filter Column.
Our requirement is:
1. To clear all filters on the iR page with a button
2. To clear previously visited Page 3 filters when this page is displayed again
The closest option I have found is utilizing the "apex_util.ir_clear(p_page_id => 3)". Besides clearing the filters (which is what I want, it also resets the rows per page count of the IRR to 15.
I need a way to prevent and keep the Saved IRR with rows per page set to 200.
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Ed.

Does this help?
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/app_comp.htm#BABEJEBJ
I would look at using the URL to clear the IR and then to reset the number of rows (this is just a guess because I don't see it documented at the above link) I would use your typical session state substitution that you would do in a URL or page branch to reset the value of page item "apexir_NUM_ROWS" (it appears that Apex generates that select list with a HTML ID of "apexir_NUM_ROWS") to &apexir_NUM_ROWS. So hopefully that'll clear your page but then reset the number of rows to whatever it was.
All just a guess but give it a try.

Planned values in report painter

Hello,
Does anybody knows if it is possible to extract planned values (planned through transaction code FSE5N) into a report built through report painter tool?
My report is comming out with "0" values even though I have selected plan version and Plan/Act. indicator.
Appreciate any help!

Hi Stacey.
I have just tried, and no changes... Still have "0" values...

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
Nawneet

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.

Urgent, invoking Discoverer 4i report externally through a URL.

We have been successful opening a Discoverer 4i report externally through a URL, the query string contains the parameters for the report. But the behaviour of opening the report is not consistent, sometimes I can open the report without any problem, but there are occasions where it displays the parameter page, could someone please explain why is this behaviour?
Also I have noticed that even I change my parameter values, it still uses the old parameter values, is Discoverer caching the reports?
Your help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I found it on Metalink in Note:98102.1. You have to use a hidden HTML form variable called hidden_run_parameters.

Report Filters & Hierarchies

Hi Guys,
We are migrating from BO 5.x to BO Xi R3.
Some of our existing 5.x reports have report level filters.
When we select any of the filter values the other filter objects are automatically changes either forward or backward compatible.
Example table:
Country      ;;                   State     ;;                     City       ;;                   Address
India        ;;           Karnataka     ;;                     Bangalore       ;;                   Arthur Road
USA     ;;                     Florida     ;;                     Jacksonville       ;;                   Arthur Road
India     ;;                     Karnataka     ;;                     Bangalore       ;;                   G.C Road
India     ;;                     AP     ;;       Hyderabad    ;;                   M.G Road
Canada     ;;                     Ontari     ;;                     Toronto        ;;                  Arthur Road
+Note:+ none of these objects are placed in an order in the BO 5.x universe. They are all mixed and belong to different classes and no custom hierarchy is defined.
The method filters work in BO 5.x is that the prompt values are filtered both forward and backward when we select a value in any of the prompts
Scenario 1:
Select Country as "India". The values in report prompts will be
Country     ;;State;;     City;;     Address
India;;     Karnataka;;     Bangalore;;     Arthur Road
;;     ;;     ;;     G.C Road
;;     AP;;     Hyderabad;;     M.G Road
Scenario 2:
Select Country as "USA"
Country     ;;State;;     City;;     Address
USA;;     Florida;;     Jacksonville     ;;Arthur Road
Scenario 3:
Select Country as "Canada"
Country;;        State;;     City;;     Address
Canada     ;;Ontari;;     Toronto;;     Arthur Road
Scenario 4:
Now for backward compatibility. Select Address as "Arthur Road"
Country     ;;State;;     City;;     Address
India;;     Karnataka;;     Bangalore;;     Arthur Road
USA;;     Florida;;     Jacksonville     ;;
Canada;;     Ontari;;     Toronto     ;;
Scenario 5:
Select a report filter in the middle like City "Bangalore"
Country     ;;State;;     City;;     Address
India;;     Karnataka;;     Bangalore;;     Arthur Road
     ;;     ;;     ;;G.C Road
Scenario 6:
Select Address "M.G Road"
Country     ;;State     ;;City     ;;Address
India     ;;AP;;     Hyderabad;;     M.G Road
The report filters when placed or used in the BO XI R3 report after migration does not work the same way as in BO 5.x.
Not sure what the reason could be.
Have checked the universe and there are no changed between the BO 5.x and BO R3 universes.
I cannot go for custom hierarchies as there are reports which use these objects from different classes and there are too many permutations and combinations to consider.
I would like to know whether the forward compatibility can be achieved without using custom hierarchies and does BO R3 support backward (i.e start from address and get the other values)and intermediate (start with city and drill both forward and backward) compatibility

You will find a few instances of different behaviour across 5, 6.5 and XIr2/3.
Another is with the behaviour of what are now called merged dimensions. They now work how I want them to.
Anyway, back to your problem - as far as I have seen, you have to fully qualify Arthur Road in terms of it's ownership.

Unable to view Report Filters on Excel Services web part

I have an Excel 2010 file with Pivot Charts. I want users to be able to select filters for the pivot charts to modify their chart/report as needed.
This excel file with Pivot Charts is visualized using Excel Services Web Part on SharePoint 2010.
My problem: The Pivot Chart Filters do not appear on SharePoint. They are available when the file is opened in Excel 2010.
Is there a way to have chart/report filters show up on SharePoint (excel services web part)?

As per the article below it seems that Pivot Chart Filtering is not available with Excel services. The article reads
"PivotChart reports are not interactive when displayed in a browser. You cannot filter a PivotChart report directly, but if you interact
with the PivotTable report that supplies data for the PivotChart report, the PivotChart report updates accordingly. This means if you filter the PivotTable report, the PivotChart report updates to show the filtered data set."
Unsupported Features in Excel Services
Though this article is for MOSS 2007 but if you read the following article for SP 2010 it reads "All other unsupported features continue
to behave as they do in Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Excel Services."

Release Value Contract Report

Hi,
As we can get individual customer released value contract amount through T Code VA43 and report Via T code Z_XX_SD_059 for mass customers which is usually not giving the correct amount of released from value contract. The report which is extracted via T code Z_XX_SD_059 normally not reconciled with the end result of T Code VA43.So, Is there any other T code for getting correct release value contract report for multiple customers? Please share if anyone knows.

Hi,
tcode Z is an in house development. Check with an abaper why there are differences with respect to VA43.

Where is the value of report repository stored in the database?

Hi all,
One of our developers is trying to write a code that would send the output report (pdf)of a process through mail, typical work flow stuff.But the problem is that we are not supposed to hard code the value of report repositiry from where the report has to be picked.can anybody suggest a table in the database from where the value of report repository can be queried.
we tried using
select reportrepositorypt from pswebprofile.
but this doesnt return the correct path. we went to PIA->peopletools->webprofile ->webprofie configuration
here we updated the value in report repository field and saved it and queried again.
But this didnt solve our problem.
Its showing the previous value which is different from the actual report repository path.
all the servers are in solaris box.
please suggets.
Thanks!

Right now, I am trying to send a PDF (XML Publisher report) as an email to our vendors (it is their ACH Advice).
What I have done so far is: Created an App Engine, one step to populate a state record with run control information and the second step that runs XML Publisher and creates PDF report(s) which are published to the Report Repository and saved to a file on our network. Now I think I just need to create a third step to recall the PDF(s) and send the PDF(s) out as emails to our vendors.
I have found that the PDF information from Report Repository is stored in the Database in the CDM_LIST_VW record (this is a view and the main underlying table is CDM_LIST, but this contains what I need for now, so I'm going to try using it first). The Report ID is stored in the CONTENTID field and the Report Description (description shown on the Report Repository -- which in our case contains the email address) is stored in the CONTENT_DESCR field. So I am going to try over the next week to write the logic to query the CDM_LIST_VW for the data needed for the email address and the ReportID to go and grab the file....The hardest part is finding the actual file but I am hoping that I can also find a URL on that table. I'd pull the file from the network, but XML Publisher writes them out into numbered folders where all the PDFs are named the XML Report Defn - thus same name). I have not tried any of this yet, but am hoping I'm on the right path.
I hope this helped answer your question.
Good Luck!

Reporting Services through ISA server for All Authenticated Users

Hello colleagues.
I have MS SQL 2012 server with Reporting Services and it work via link:
https://reports2.domain.com/reports
In LAN all work fine, but I want publish this resource via ISA for All Authenticated Users.
When in publish rule I configure (in Condition) "All users" - all work fine, but when I configure "All Authenticated Users" - I have trouble on web form on
https://reports2.domain.com/reports/Pages/Report.aspx?ItemPat... - scripts not work, because it run how "anonymous" (I see on ISA logging) and ISA block scripts.
I can't use "All Users", because it's not secure.
Maybe somebody publish Reporting Services through ISA server for All Authenticated Users?
OR maybe - how on Reporting Services configure Negotiate authenticated for scripts?

Hi Alexander,
All users or applications who request access to report server content or operations must be authenticated using the authentication type configured on the report server before access is allowed. The AuthenticationType named RSWindowsNegotiate is supported
by Reporting Services. To configure Windows Authentication on the Report Server, please see:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc281253(v=sql.110).aspx
Besides, we can publish report server via ISA server. Please note that you should use a new web port number with a new listener which shouldn’t be used by other web site for report server. Reference:
http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/forefront/en-US/1cc68996-1ce6-4d88-a30d-2bfd13fba06e/how-to-publish-ssrs-2008-through-isa-2006?forum=Forefrontedgegeneral
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Katherine thanks for answer.
Report Server service started as Domain account.
I have in RSReportServer.config this:
<Authentication>
<AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsNegotiate />
</AuthenticationTypes>
<RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>Allow</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionLevel>
<RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>Proxy</RSWindowsExtendedProtectionScenario>
<EnableAuthPersistence>true</EnableAuthPersistence>
</Authentication>
In web.config I have this:
<authentication mode="Windows" />
<identity impersonate="true" />
I can go (from Internet through ISA) to
https://reports2.domain.com/reports and LogOn Authentication is work, but scripts not work, because it run how "anonymous" (I see this on ISA logging) and ISA block scripts.
Do you know where in Reporting Services configure run scripts with Negotiate authentication?
