Report filter help

Dear all,
Ive been given a requirement to develop a simple report to query PO data where PO creation date = Inv Posting date
The cubes are available and in the cubes we have the PO creation date and Inv posting date as dimension.
Question is, without changing the dimension and by using the existing cubes, how can I restrict my data just by using the query builder to filter reports and I want my filter to be something like where 0DOC_DATE = 0PSTG_DATE
Thanks in advance.

SCHT,
a simple way would be :
create a formula variable on both the dates and find the difference between tem using a CKF.
now havea condition for showing rows only where the difference is zero..

Assign points if it helps..

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

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.

Dan

P12_PROCESS (multi-select)
Default Value --> -1
List of Values --> Select process_id || '--' || description process, process_id from obe.cis_process
Columns --> 1
Display Null --> Yes
Null return value --> -1
created text field, 3 multi-select items plus 2 select objects (using LOV)
Step 5 - Create Button in Region 1 - P12_GO
Step 6 - Numerous Process for this Page - Had 3 - PL/SQL anon block - On submit - after comp & validations
JestUser selects item(s)..data placed in temp table, used later.
DECLARE
l_selected HTMLDB_APPLICATION_GLOBAL.VC_ARR2;

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!

Unable to apply report filter by using Previous Function

Hello,
I am new to Webi and need your expertise. I created a varible using Previous Function. The varible works fine when you view it. However, it doesn't work when I tried to apply this varible in the report filter.
Here are the varibles:
Varible A = Previous([Field A]; ([Field B]; [Field C]))
DisplayVarible = If([Varible A] = 'Letter A'; 1; 0)
I learned that when applying Display Varible in the report filtes, the Value(s) from list is grayed out. How do I fix this?
Thank you.

The objective is to find the turnaround time from one customer to the next customer. For example, you have a hair saloon shop and you want to know how long does it take when you finish one customer and start the next customer.
Customer PreviousTimeEnd       Time Begin            Time End            Time Diff(Time Begin - Previous Time End)
A                                 7:00                    7:30
B               7:30              7:45                    8:30                15
C               8:30              9:00                    9:30                30

As you can see, I can calculate the minutes difference. However, I cannot apply time difference varible in the report filter. I hope I have provided you enough info. Thank you for your help.

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
Edited by: David Gao on Aug 11, 2010 4:06 AM

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.

Rob

BOE XI 3.1: Problem with Simple Report Filter.

Hi everyone!.
One requirement that i have in one customer is about the use of simple reports filters, the customer doesn't want to use the input controls.
If i add one simple report filter and save the report, the final user can add other simple report filters, but the problem is that the name "Others" appears with all the variables than i have created to be used in the report.
Is it possible to hide the group "Others"?
Thanks!
Edited by: Jaime Pestaña on Mar 12, 2010 10:26 AM

If I understood you clearly, I think you have few variables created and one set of variable is called Others and you dont want users to see it.
There are couple of things you can do.
First one is to Use Othere filters as constant and it will not appear.
Second you can use others filter at Report level and it will not prompt to users.

Or between prompted columns in report filter

Hi,
If I give an 'Or' between two prompts in the report filter, as below:-
Value Date is prompted
OR Trade Date is prompted
... then the condition does not apply on the report.
I am using dashboard prompts
OBI version is 10.1.3.4.1
Is there a way around this?
thanks,
Gaurav

Hi,
If I hard code in the report filter and use or between the conditions then it works fine.
The prompted filters are not working with 'Or' in between.
It looks like a bug. Can something be done about it?
Using a presenation variable should work, but it will have some other limitations.
thanks,
Gaurav

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?

Let me know if you have questions.

Restricting "All Member" from report filter

Hi,
Can i restrict the "All Member" from the report level filter? If i place Company or Site hierarchy in the report filter by default i'll get All Company and All Site members. I want to restrict this "All Member".
How to restrict the All Member from the report filter?
regards, Sujeev

Hi Roberto,
Thank you for your answer ! But this note doesn't solve the problem !
Would you mind trying this and tell me your results :
Make a simple report :TIME in column, ENTITY in page and COSTCENTER in row.
Then click on COSTCENTER, it opened the "EPM - Member Selector"
The dimension COSTCENTER has a property called ENTITY, so I select "ENTITY", operator is "=", Values is "<CONTEXT>" and the High Values/Dimensions is "ENTITY"
And after this selction I have nothing !
(I insist on that point to be clear : There are 2 different ENTITY, the first is the property of the dimension COSTCENTER and the second is a dimension)
