Hi Bhargav,
Two Changes to be done.
1. Prompt: for the Qtr column set a presentation variable like v_qtr.
2. Report: Add a calculated column with the below formula
case @{v_qtr} when 1 then 'Jan' when 2 then 'Apr' when 3 then 'Jul' when 4 then 'Oct' end
Let me know if this helped.

Jay

How to get date prompts from one date column
i have a requirement where i have to filter the data between two date prompts. i have only one date column and the date in the prompts shuld be selected by calendar.
i have seen may approaches to do this and i got one where two dummy date columns should be declared in repository and used to define the date prompts.
but using other methods i could not get the calendar option in prompt.
but is there any other way to get the prompts with calndar selection without defining the dummy columns in repository
thanksyou can do that first select the date column you want to use in dashboard prompt then select another column and in the dashboard prompts then open the fx of the date prompt you first selected copy that and paste it in the second column and in the control section click on calender it will work you can use same date column as two prompts with out creating new column.

How to handle date prompt in report
Hi I have date column on database as timestamp.
Now need to apply filter in report based on date prompt.
Do i nee to cast it in Date format..or how i can do it.
thanks,Hi User,
Which versionof obiee are you in? If you are on 10.1.3.4.1 version, apply PATCH 9492821 to fix this issue.
Can you do the following checks,
In the repository physical layer, set the column to have a data type of date
In the BMM layer, where the column is mapped, edit the column mapping to contain a CAST function to cast as date

Crystal Report Date Prompt Query from SAP BW
Dear Support,
Using Crystal Report 2008 and Query is design In SAP BW
Date Prompt is made mandatory in Query at Query Designer.
Problem: Requirent is that Date promt shoud take value currentdate-1
when report is excuted first date prompt will show in that prompt value should have today date - 1 which is yesterday date.
how to pass formula to date prompt?
ThanksIf the prompt value should always be CurrentDate -1, then there is no need to use a prompt at all. Just put the formula to the selection criteria.
If you want the prompt to default to CurrentDate -1, while allowing the user to change the prompt to another date if they wish... That won't work. CR won't allow you to use a formula as the default value in a prompt.
If there is a BO Universe between you and the tables... IE, you're building against the universe, you'll need to get with the universe designer and have them make an alternate field available that has the formula hard coded in the SQL as opposed prompting.

A Date prompt defaulting the data in Report based on selection
Gurus,
I have a requirement , where i have a (in between) date prompt set in the dashboard current defulting to Start Month date and End Month date of current month.
What the user want is based on the selection using a drop down in dashboard which has got values Last Day, Last week, Last Month , the default values in Date filter should change in dashboard.
For Eg. If the user select Last Week, the in between date filter show the default date value as Last Week Mon and Last Sun, and should filter out the report based on that.
Any idea's are welcome....
Thanks & Regards
-SaurabhTry to see if you can get user to agree on something easier.
Here are the steps to achieve what you want.
1. Create a prompt for 1 day, 2 week, and 3 month
2. Create three separate reports based on above selection, which has page prompt for day/week/month respectively.
3. Create GN based on step in 1 and then let UI change between three reports you created in step 2
I hope this helps,
Best luck -
Display date prompt in crystal report output
Hi There,
In my report output the values entered in date prompt(range) is not displayed.
I've prompt that is created on document created on field. The properties of prompt are
Posting date...... date.........static values
value field : ERDAT.....
value options:
optional prompt: false
allow custom values: true
allow multiple values : false
allow discrete values: false
allow range values: trueHi Raj,
I believe you're trying to display the start date and the end date of the date range parameter.
Create a formula called 'start':
Minimum(?Postingdate) //This formula extracts the start date from the date parameter
Similarly, create another formula called 'end':
Maximum(?Postingdate) //This extracts the end date
Place these formulae on the desired report section.
P.S: You may even do this in a single formula.
Hope this helps!

Date Prompt in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0
Good Afternoon, hope you all are well.
We have the following issue in our production environment.
Our Exact Date prompt is causing our reports to error, the reason being is that the relevant Fact table to the prompt has no data.
Is there a piece of SQL we can add to the prompt to say if it cannot find any data to that specific date then use SYSDATE?
Regards

Set default values in date prompt
Hello,
I have tried everything I can find in the forum to resolve a very daunting task. Thanks in advance for all your help.
We have Crystal Server 2008 with Tomcat and IIS.
I have several reports that use start date and end date as parameters. When the user launches the report date prompt dialog box appears where you user can input the values. Typically (75% ) the user is always looking for yesterday's data however at times he/she would want to pick different date range to review the results. The requirement is to set the default values in the dialogbox to be currentdate-1. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Paul.What we do for all of our reports is have the date parameters be text fields that allow something like PD for prior day, PM for prior month, CM for current month, YTD for year to date, etc. We then have crystal functions (and database functions; one for start dates and one for end dates) that translates the characters to real dates. If the text entered does not match one of the "mnemonics", it is assumed to be a date, and it is treated as such. This allows using the same report for scheduled daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, etc. and ad-hoc runs without any other special coding. In your case, you'd set the default parameter values to PD.
Our mnemonics are of the form [PY]{P|C}{D|W|M|Q|Y}[DOW][{+|-}n], where [PY] is optional to specify a prior year date (for comparison reports), P=Prior, C=Current, D=Day, W=Week, M=Month, Q-Quarter, Y=Year, [DOW] is optional, and used with [PY] to specify that you are looking for the same day of week in the prior year (if CD=8/24/09, PYCDDOW=8/25/08), and the +n or -n allows you to add or subtract days/weeks/months/quarters/years (depending on the interval used) to the date.

Getting an error - with date prompt
Hi,
I really need a help to resolve this issue -
I have created a date prompt As of date with presentation variable name CPG_CASH_DATE.
I have use this variable in different number columns - Amount Due Original , Amount Applied , Amount Due Remaining.
Inside the amount due original the function is CASE WHEN "Fact - CPG AR Payment Schedules"."Due Date" <=CAST(CAST(substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),1,4)||'/'||substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),6,2)||'/'||substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),9,2)||' 00:00:00' AS CHAR) AS DATE) THEN ifnull("Fact - CPG AR Payment Schedules"."Amount Due Original",0) ELSE 0 END
Inside the amount applied the function is CASE WHEN "Fact - CPG AR Payment Schedules"."Due Date" <=CAST(CAST(substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),1,4)||'/'||substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),6,2)||'/'||substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),9,2)||' 00:00:00' AS CHAR) AS DATE) THEN ifnull("Fact - CPG AR Payment Schedules"."Amount Applied",0) ELSE 0 END
Sometimes it is working -but now I am getting below error.

Please help me to resolve this issue.
PoojakPoojak,
This is a common error when attempting CAST to dates. I've resolved this in the past using Gerad's post here, http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/cast_as_date
I'm not sure why you are getting thie inconsistency when you say it was "sometimes" working and now it is not. Perhaps you've been in iterative develpment and changed a few things which broke something here.
Take a look at Gerad's notes that this will resolve your issue.
Please awards points if this helps or answers your question.
Cheers,
Christian

Date Prompt using Calendar view -
'In Between' Date Prompt to set Session Variables???
Hi
Im very new to OBIEE and was hoping someone could help me. I have a date prompt using the 'in between' operator based on a date column.
I am trying to set up a table in the Physical layer of the RPD using a stored proc (EXEC sp_name). The stored proc takes 2 input paramaters - a start data and an end date. These dates i would like to come from the in between prompt. I have set up the physical table structure to receive the results of the request.
I looked at setting a session variable but it is asking me to insert sql to set the value and i dont want to hit the database outside of the stored proc. Also, even if i have session variables i cant see how to set them to the values in the prompt when using the 'In Between' operator.
Im really very confused and i have been searching the net and the documentation for any clue.
Any help would be appreciated
ThanksIn between operator doesn't support presentation variable..
so break this into is into two prompts...and use equal to operator, then you can use them as request variables which will in turn override your session variables.
in the report use operator between and use these variables in the filter.. -
Date prompt to displayed in header&Format date format in header MM/DD/YYYY
we have a date prompt. Based on the date selection on prompt, it has to be appeared on the Report header. Actually RELEASED_DATE is timestamp format. we need to format this to dispaly only MM/DD/YYYY format in Report header section.
Report Name : <?$RELEASED_DATE?>
We are displaying the same RELEASED_DATE with timestamp in Report section
<?param@begin:CRSU_RELEASED_DATE?>can you paste the timestamp being displayed?
You can use, format-date function or other, but its all based on the data you have for DATE.
