Rest drill on column selector change.

Hi all,
We have a column selector for our table, and a defined dimension. There is a requirement that when the user has drilled down, to any level in the dimension, when he/she changes the column in the column selector it resets the drill to the top level of the dimension.
The current default behaviour is that is does not, and the drill remains in place when changing the column selector.
I have has a play around and couldnt come up with anything. Is this at all possible? Is so, how does one go about achieving such behaviour.
Much appreciated.

i have a workaround..
But this can't use the TITLE view..
1. Add both the columns in your col selector to the criteria
2. Create 2 pivots, first one with your default columns (exclude the col selector one here)
3. Other with the other col selector column (exclude the default one here)
4. Create a View Selector with these two pivots
5. Expose this View Selector as Col Selector in compound layout..

Hi all,
I have month Column in my Report and and i have month column in column selectors.
Default the report run on Month,some dimension and other meaure columns.Here i have put no drill from Month to Day.So it wont show the drill.
But if is select the Month column in column selector that i will have 2 columns one having month with no drill and other month having drill.
How can i suppress the drill on the month which is coming from Column Selector?
Regards

Try this:
1) Select "Month" in your Column Selector.
2) Now go to Criteria mode. The "Month" column from the Column Selector should be there. Click on the Column Properties of the column and set Value Interaction to "No Interaction."
3) Save your report.
4) Go back to Results tab and re-select your "default" column in the column selector and Save report again.

How to Use Column Selector View in Reports

Hi all,
Can someone please advise on how to use the column selector view in CROMD's reporting tool?
Whenever I add a Column Selector view, and check the Enable checkbox of a certain column, a message appears "Click the columns in the selection pane to add more choices". However there is no selection pane, and the only thing I can do within the column is input a column label.
Am I missing any crucial steps here?
Thanks.

Hi,
Choose a column as column selector by enabling the check box and click the columns that has to get into column selector in the left navigation.
On click the columns would get in one by one. After that field that you choose would be displayed in the position of the column in the report table
Typically the purpose is something like this. If you want to dynamically change the first field say by Account Type, Account Region, Account Status and see the revenue then it can be used

Pivot tables with column selector - navigation?

Hi
Just hoping someone can help. We maintain a large number of dashboards and would like to move to streamlining them by combining reports using column selectors. However when we have pivot table reports where the column selector on the rows are selectable on up to 5 different fields, but the pivot columns are split by one specific field, the navigation reports won't filter on the column headings. It will filter on the rows which can change between the various column selector options.
For example we have:
5 columns (5 types of application)
The rows are either: advisor, status of app, month received, age of app, world region etc...
The fact is # of apps
This navigates to a list report which should prompt off the various fields in the column selector and the pivot table column headings (all are prompted) but it just ignores the type of application field and only prompts off the rows.
Is it possible to have it prompting off both like a normal pivot table does?
Sorry if that's not clear.
Regards

Master-Detail Linking and column selectors

Does anyone know if it's possible (in 11.1.1.7) to create a master-detail link on a column that's part of a column selector?
There's a master "roll-up" table using a column that's part of a column selector group. For one of the columns in the group, I've set the interaction to "Send Master-Detail Event".
There's a detail table that uses that same column, and listens on the correct channel.
However, when clicking on the column output in the master roll-up table, the detail doesn't change.
I should mention I'm using the latest Firefox on PC, if that matters.
Thanks!

Using the column selector in Union Based Report

Hi All,
I have created a report using the Union (Combine with Similar Request Option). Now I want to introduce a column selector which need to be changed combinedly for both the union portion (considering them as one request).
Is it not possible? I am getting the following error message, when I use the column selector:
Assertion failure: !sCurFormula.empty() at line 566 of ./project/webviews/columnselectorview.cpp
Error Details
Error Codes: OQ78YWIW
If it is not possible directly, is there any workaround that I can use.
Awaiting your reply.
Thanks in advance.

hi,
Just tried out something which might be useful.
In one of the union request add one more column and in fx Case when 1=1 then 'Table.Column1' end and similar in second request write same formula Case when 1=1 then 'Table.Column2' end and run the report in pivot table. Place the added coulmn which has case statement in Pages but here the problem is in drop list u will see as "Table.Column";.
hope this might help out to some extent.

Drill Down Column Name??

Hi, Anoyone knows how I can change the column name when a Drill from a Bar chart?
Best Regards

Hello The below is the option to change the Column Name. But your question seems to be on Drill option.
Drill Column Visibility:
If you are looking for a Drill option Column Name assignment to one report. You need to create a parameter in the second report and that parameter should be in the calculated filed and then you will get the Column name in the Main report that you are trying to drill.
Column Rename Option in the report:
Go to
Active Studio
My Reports> View Task/Options> Edit View
Edit View>Properties>Text & Align> Apply to Column Heading> and give what name you want to provide.

Column selector for list of values

Hi,
is it possible to use column selector to select list of values of a certain column? I mean similar to dashboard prompts? We may have a situation that the environment we use does not allow us to use dashboard prompts in certain cases. If not, is there a way to separate lov's from each other in pivot tables? Now if we select two columns, lov will look like column1-column2 with all possible combinations and we don't want that.
BR,
Mari

Use a pivot table view to achieve this requirement.
open pivot view properties-->place the required column in the pages--->try the result
It will work like a prompt in the report.
mark if helpful/correct..

How to reset drill-down column-chart based on map-chart?

Hi guys,
I'm facing pritty common issue while designing one of my dashboards. Let me describe a little bit more:
1. I have some data extracted from BW using Query as WebService into my Xcelsius spreadsheet.
2. I have map-chart - regions for some country.
3. I have a drill-down column-chart, which displays data for a selected region.
At the beginning column-chart displays results for entire country (which, in fact, is not exactly drill-down). The issue I'm fasing is, that in case I select any region and the data is drilled-down into my column-chart, I have no option to show data for the entire county in the column-chart anymore (the only one way is to restart the report).
Are there any possible way to do this, or am I doing a design error while displaying data, which is not drilled-down, into a chart which is intended to display drill-down data only?
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

Ivaylo Mutafchiev,
I understand your problem now. So your column chart data which is coming from the QAAWS query should be having a prompt which is bound to some cell in excel. and your map might be passing the values for prompt isn't it? in your case the map might be passing a region.
All you need to do is put the prompt in the web service for region as a optional prompt. Now pull in a check box or a Push button(name it as reset or something.). while binding the data to the check box or push button (source data) bind it to a blank cell. when user clicks on it , it passes a blank vlaue to the region(this is ur input for region) which will inturn makes the prompt optional for the region web service. which should pull all the data for all the region.
The whole idea lies in somehow passing a blank cell to your web service whose region prompt is optional.
Thanks,
Karthik

OBIEE 11g (11.1.1.5...)Column Selectors and Action Links

All,
I think we have bug - we have a column selector for 3 columns. One of them is configured to navigate to another analyses page (we have only one action link configured) . we have checked the option - "Do not display in a popup if only one action link is available at runtime". The issue is the pop-up still shows up even if there is only one action link. The issue is only for a column group.
Please let us know if anyone has figured out a work around.
Thanks

Dynamic Column Selector in OBIEE - Solution required

Hello Experts,
I am pretty new to OBIEE. Please help me to get OBIEE solution for below requirement.
I have one 25 column dimension table in database. Created OBIEE .rpd file and published in BI server. Now I need to provide one user interface in which user should be able to chose any number of columns of his choice and he should get record set of those selected columns. Something in my mind is like this.
I should be providing list of 25 column names with check box to select one or many. Assuming that if user selects Col1, Col3,Col5 and Col7 then he should get the result in excel file with record set of those 4 columns.
I am using OBIEE 10g.
Any solution for this is highly appreciated.
Edited by: user7850154 on Dec 5, 2010 9:22 AM

user,
Usually, dynamic column seletor is implemented through "column selector view" available within compund layout of OBIEE Answers.
But, it does allow you to select only single column rather than multiple columns - which in your case is required.
