Reporting - Filters

Hello Experts
When we copy the report from the existing reports. In the filters if the company code for the past report exist, then do we have to change the filter - company code in the present report. PLease help.
Thank you
Swetha

hi swetha,
When you copy the report it just copies the same thing into your new report.
That depends on your requirement to whether to change the filter criteria in the newly copied report. It only depends on your new report requirements.
Does that answer your question?. if not please elaborate

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."

Use of Report Filters in a document to drive report content

I have a webi document that contains two reports, a summary report and a detail report. These two reports run off the same query. The question is, if I add report filters (not query filters) to the summary report, how can I dynamically refresh the detail report to use the same report filters, with out making the end user re-select the same report filters used in the summary report.
For example = I have a document that has a summary report that counts patients by location, in the same document I also have a detail report which uses the same query as the summary report, but prints the individual patients at each location.
I can add a report filter to the summary report, so I can filter on patients by *** code, which works great. But I would like the detail report to automatically pick up the report filter, so when I click on the detail report tab in my document, the detail report is also filtered on patient ***. I know that I can add the patient *** code report filter to the detail report and make the end user re-filter the detail report the same as the summary, I am just trying to see if it is possible to do this automatically.
So far have not found anyway to do this. I prefer not having to write two queries, one for summary and one detail if at all possible.

Hi Christopher,
If you select just one value and your users are able to type it in,
not having to select it via a drop down box, you might get it to work using input controls.
Create a new report variable (lets say for *** code) that will hold the selected value
Just create it with ="" and then place it in the input variables as a single value entry field
(note you have to select in the input controls now) an
You can use the contents of this variable in a report filter on the detail report,
you can add as many selection fields as you want, but you are not able to choose from a list of values...
Good luck,
Marianne

Use wildcards in webi report filters? It seems they're only avail in Query

Can I use wildcards in webi report filters? It seems they're only avail in Queries...

HI,
Eventhough you have created variable BeX query designer.
User reponse will work ,
steps to achive,
1.open the universe build on (Bex query with customer variable)
2.you can find the filter symbol in universe for customer variable that you have created in bexx query
3. then copy the exact text eg:"select the customer" in universe for that filter
4.then in webi user reponse of that text. eg :userreponse("select the customer")

Strange issue with Multi-Table LTS and report filters (10g)

Hi,
I am having some troubles with the following scenario:
I have a large flattened table that is being used as both Fact and Dimension in the BMM layer. I also have another table that contains some supplementary measures needed by some reports.
Logical Fact table has an LTS that consists of the 2 tables which are joined on 2 columns (eg, a.col1 = b.col1 and a.col2 = b.col2, etc). The columns used in the join also exist in the logical dimension which uses the same flattened table. I use these columns in my report filters.
I have created some Fact measures, some from each source inside the LTS.
What's happening is that when I am using this model in Answers, the query being generated is applying my filtering conditions to both tables, which seems unnecessary to me since they are joined on these columns.
i.e.,
select *
from table1 a, table2 b
where a.col1 = b.col1
and a.col2 = b.col2
and a.col1 = 'Value 1'
and a.col2 = 'Value 2'
and b.col1 = 'Value 1'
and b.col1 = 'Value 2'
The last two lines in the query above should not be happening. I have not mapped these columns anywhere in the BMM to table2 (other than physical layer join), only to table1.
For clarification, it's not hurting the end results from what I've seen, but it is adding additional filtering to the query that can increase overall cost, which I'm trying to avoid.
Any ideas/suggestions?
Thanks
Edited by: odinsride on Jan 31, 2012 5:03 PM

Hi,
I think this is a known issue. I think that the BI Server pulls in both the tables involved in the LTS for any query (Yes, even if the query has only one column from any of the tables in LTS) and so are the filters.
In this case, what I would suggest you is to create 2 LTS (probably 3). One for each physical table (that are being joined in the LTS) and one for both of them joined (may be inner/left/right) etc.
With this kind of setup, when there are reports for any particular column of this logical table, the BI Server can go and choose the corresponding LTS only. However, if there is a report with columns from both the tables, the BI Server would choose the LTS with the join.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

Regular Expression functions not supported in Interactive report filters ??

I'm using APEX 4.0.2 and I'm trying to create a row filter in an interactive report which uses regexp_instr and regexp_replace functions and I'm getting the message:
Invalid filter expression. regexp_instr
The code runs fine in SQL Workshop
select cytogenetics from z_patient
where regexp_instr(regexp_replace(cytogenetics,'(\,+|\"+|\s)',''),'(^46XX$|^46XY$|^46XX\[..\]$|^46XY\[..\]$)')=1
CYTOGENETICS
"46,XX [20]"
"46,XY[20]"
"46,XX"
"46,XY[20]"
"46,XY[30]"
"46,XY[26]"
"46,XY [33]"
"46,XX[32]
etc...
my filter is just the where clause above i.e.
regexp_instr(regexp_replace(cytogenetics,'(\,+|\"+|\s)',''),'(^46XX$|^46XY$|^46XX\[..\]$|^46XY\[..\]$)')=1
*Are regular expression functions just not supported in interactive report filters?*
thanks in advance
Paul P

Hi Paul,
regular expression functions are supported in interactive report filters, but it looks like that REGEXP_INSTR hasn't been added as valid command. Only REGEXP_SUBSTR and REGEXP_REPLACE are valid commands for computation expressions and REGEXP_SUBSTR, REGEXP_REPLACE and REGEXP_LIKE for row level filters.
I have filed bug# 12926266 to fix this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

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.

Issue with a bex report filters

the report which is filtered to display cost elements of a category D is working but the requirement is that one cost element called 800 gets the planned data from a category called C. we need to keep the filter for D in the report but still display the data for cost element 800 as well. All it means is that when ever the cost element 800 appears it not only pulls the data from D which as actual values but also from C where the planned values also exists.

Hi,
Once again refresh your report with including selection of D with 800 cost element, and remaining all exclude from selection(if it is less number).

Custom report - Filtering multiple cities?

Hi Guys,
I am trying to create a custom report for a list of cities (Not all Cities in the database, only a selection).
FILTER BY FIELDS
One cannot have London on the first line (Filter 1) and New York on the second (Filter 2) - it results in an error
My guess it uses AND operator
I tried my luck at inserting London OR New York OR Sydney etc, (Filter 1) but that does not work.
Any advise would be appreciated
Thanks

Hi SmilingGoat,
Unfortunately you are correct, and the filtering system with reports does indeed use an AND operator. You can't currently filter on multiple variations of the same field with the accuracy that you're after.
You could potentially narrow it down using the following:
Filter 1: >= London
Filter 2: <= New York
And this will output cities that are alphabetically between London and New York inclusively. Really though, the best workaround until greater flexibility is built into the reporting engine is just to filter in Excel.

Standard Report Filters

Does anyone know where I can find what the filters on the standard reports actually use to filter on? I.e. Fiscal Month, Fiscal Year on the Account by sales rep. Does this filter the records by Created Date, Modified Date etc...? My client is wanting documentation with these answers and I was unable to find any answer in the .pdf's or anywhere else. I tried going to the EditDashboard but I could view the criteria on the filters for the reports.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
That you have to check.....it varies from obje to obj. Do one thing......select date from date folder and then select obj creted date, modified date etc.
See it matches to what? You willl get ur answer.
Thanks...VK

KKBC_ORD report - filtering by Cost Centre

Hi,
I was trying to filter KKBC_ORD report for Confirmation Transactions to show only a specified cost centre.
I set up a filter on cost centre column, but when I specify cost centre and confirm this filtering, it shows no data even though this cost centre is used and can be found in KKBC_ORD report when filter is not set.
Have you had a similar issue? Is it some kind of program bug? Maybe there is an SAP note to fix that?
Thank you,
Karol

Thank you Ajay,
Unfortunately KKBC_ORD is being used by our Production Line Coordinators to verify data order by order and they are only interested in confirmations executed on specific cost centres. This is why we need to focus on KKBC_ORD.
Do you know whether this filtering problem is a program error or is it done on a purpose and has some good explanation?
For me it seems an error and I thought there would be a fix for it as filtering is a standard functionality.
Thanks,
Karol

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.

Reuse Interactive Report Filtering components

Hi everyone! I wanted to create a change notification application with APEX. I'm planning to use the Interactive Report to enable the users build their own saved query using the filtering function of IR. I will provide an option for the user to subscribe (via email) for every query they want when their conditions has been met due to data change in the future. (ex. the user is waiting for some material delivery. This application will alert the user when it became available.)
I want to use the filtering components from the Interactive Report (column selection, automatic operator availability based on column data type and the expressions box) for query building. Is this possible? Or if not, can I at least retrieve the "SQL WHERE clause" behind the Filter?
Any ideas for this type of application? Thanks in advance!

I've found it! I could get the SQL for the filters by using the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND APEX view. I'm still not sure about the multiple user situation. But all the filter information are there! Great!
APEX is magnificent! And I'm such a newbie.
Thanks!
