Saving Filter Values in BI Workspace

Hello Experts,
      We have created a muti-tab Workspace on BI Launch pad which have dashboards(Webi reports and xcelsius dashboards) in each tab (and some tabs have sub-tabs.) This Workspace can be accessed by our clients from their personal inbox. Most of these tabs contain Webi reports, within these Webi reports we have filters and drill downs which the client can manipulate to have the charts only show data what is necessarily for them.
     Now, the ideal situation for our clients would be if they, for example, open a tab with a webi report showing 'Revenue by Month' then filter the months to show only Jan, Feb, Mar;  the next time this tab is opened the filters should remain as Jan, Feb, March. (These reports are refreshed daily, so when they refresh they go back to the original state they were in; with all months showing.)
    Is there any functionality within 4.0 right now that would allow us to implement this?
Any ideas would be highly appreciated.
Thanks!
Zenab

Zenab,
Save the report once you refresh the report with Jan, Feb, Mar values, so when you schedule the report or open the report to refresh again it will have the parameter value as Jan, Feb, Mar. As of now this is the only option.

  • How to display filter values in analyzer

    Hi expert,
          I want to add filter into analyzer, above data table, I insert a few rows, and add text to hold filters, but after quit from design mode, inserted rows for filters dispear, and its spaces are taken by data table. could you please tell how to display filter values .
    Many Thanks,

    It is looking like you are saving them as workbooks. It will be possible to maintain fliters if you save with the filters given by workbook properties, not by manual feeding.
    let us know with clear expectation if you are not clear with it.

  • Saving item values

    Is there some way of saving the value of an item so that it is accessible to the user upon login? Btw, this value would need to differ by user.

    Thanks for the Response Tony.
    I tried a similar example in my workspace and it worked fine.
    but in my application its not. I cannot import my app here since i have company's confidential things.
    I am re-using a previous app and doing modifications according to my requirements.
    I checked all the items and process and nothing is clearing the cache. I have no such process in page zero as well.
    now I am planning to delete all the unwanted items,processes, and branches in my app. If it still doesn't work, then i will delete the page and re-do it :(
    Throw me some light if something doesn't sound good.
    Thanks

  • ES_CRM_PARTNER_REDETERMIN* with the filter value *BUS2000223

    Hi,
    I have a requirement in which i have to create a Service Request and enter some particular Account ID for it through which any particular Account is assigned to the partner function "Account owner " automatically.
    Then again before saving the user changes the Account ID entered before to some other.As for this Partner Determination settings has been done in the spro.But now the partner function "Account Owner" is not changed accordingly.
    To make this happen i implented an Enahncement Spot ES_CRM_PARTNER_REDETERMIN with the filter value BUS2000223.
    But this implementation is not getting triggered, it triggers only once the first time when we try to create a Service request.And teh partner determination is not working.
    Please, suggest regarding the same.
    Cheers,
    Sharad

    Hello,
    partner re-determination is only available since crm 6.0.
    Please see the online documentation which explains this at:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_crm60/helpdata/en/d4/a8f6967c4b46b2bc2c20283a245199/frameset.htm
    Normally it works only for BUS - types which are maintained in table (these entries are also supported)
    COMS_PARTNER_DET:
    BUS2000108
    BUS2000111
    BUS2000230
    BUS2000231
    BUS2000311
    BUS2000312
    Hence at least you have to maintain the BUS2000223 in the table, but I am not sure if it will work.

  • BADI Filter value

    hi friends,
    i have few doubts in BADI plz explain me
    1.i have implemented badi while saving its asking me specify filter value [what to specify here]i specified its default filter value
    2.in coding in method i copied standard example code when i did syntax check its throwing me error type 'T_RANGE' is
    unknown.in types i specified this variable its giving me 'Enter Type Fully'
    thanks in advance
    soorya

    Hi Soorya,
    1. You have to enter the values for that filter Type just below where you check the filter-Depentend check box (Before that u have to enter value in Filter Type).
    And this will add FLT_VAL importing parameter to ur methods when u call instance of them in calling program.
    IF the FLT_VAL value matches (with the value that u entered earlier) then only this BADI will get triggered otherwise not.
    2.The Syntax Check that  u are making should be in Import parameter of the Method otherwise it will through the same error.
    Please Do reply in case of further Help.

  • Error while saving date value in Java dictionary

    Hello Everybody,
    I got following error while saving date value in one of the fields of the Java table.
    Internal error occured in submit request: Error in method updateRequestContact : The object of type java.sql.Date with the value '2005-12-04 08:00:00.0' assigned to host variable 9 is not normalized. It must not contain time components in the time zone running the virtual machine.
    I can't find why it is taking time value in the date object.
    This value is coming from the RFC as a date value, and I am saving this value in Java dictionary table.
    Same code for this was working fine earlier. But, now suddenly it gives error like this.
    Even if I provide date on the screen from webdynpro application, this date value can't save in the Java dictionary and gives same error.
    What should be the problem behind this?
    Regards,
    Bhavik

    Hi Satyajit,
    I am getting date value from the screen of the webdynpro application from date picker control and passing this value in Java dictionary.
    More Information:
    I have dat value in the Date object: <b>target_date</b>
    But Now I have made new Date object as following:
    Date target_Date1 = new Date(target_date.getYear(),target_date.getMonth(),target_date.getDate());
    Then I am passing this object to Java dictionary. Still it gives same error.
    Then I have changed code as following:
              int l_year;
              int l_month;
              int l_days;
              l_year = target_Date.getYear();
              l_month = target_Date.getMonth();
              l_days = target_Date.getDate();
         Date target_Date1 = new Date(l_year,l_month,l_days);
    Now it works for me.
    But I guess this is not the perment solution. It looks very strange. I have used so many date objects at various palces. So, this solution is not the final for me.
    I want to findout the main cause of it.
    One more thing: This code was working for a mornth or two. But, now suddenly it is giving this error.
    Please help me if anybody knows.
    Regards,
    Bhavik

  • Restrict filter values that are shown in the selection screen

    Hi Experts
    1) Is it possible to restrict the filter values that are shown in the selection screen in BEx web? When a user are asked to enter a material number and uses the selection button in BEx web, he should only see material numbers for one specific plant. How is this done? 
    2) Is it possible to remove the selection button for å characteristic filter in the selection screen in BEx web? The selection button I am talking about is the button to the right of where you enter the filter value (two white papers on top of each other). If there is no solution for question 1 we have to go for question 2 solution.
    We are using BI 04s, SP 09.
    Kind regards
    Erik

    Hi Erik,
    It seems that you would like the user to see value for 1 single plant. If the Plant Value is fixed then you can use this value in the Query and hardcode it.> in the query go to the Plant Chrac and keep a constant value of the Plant.
    How ever if you need this value to be dynamic then use a variable for customer exit and populate this value using ABAP.

  • Changing Filter Values from Macro in BW 7.0

    Hello,
    in my Workbook I need to change Filter Values of some queries in runtime.
    The first thing I found was BEx API reference for BW 3.5, but I wasn't able to make these functions work. After all I found this code:
        Dim BEx As Object
        Set BEx = Application.Run("BExAnalyzer.xla!GetBEx")
        Dim dp As Object
        Set dp = BEx.DataProviders.Item(sDP)
        Dim dimension As Object
        Set dimension = dp.Request.Dimensions.Item("0CALDAY")
        Dim filters As Object
        Set filters = dimension.filters
        If Not BEx.ServerStateExists Then
        MsgBox " Please refresh before using this Makro"
        Exit Function
        End If
        Call filters.SetFilterValue(sFilter) 'this sets the filter value
    But using this code I wasn't able to set more than 1 filter value, because the function SetFilterValue removes all previous filters, but now I need to set more than 1 filters.
    I also tried to separate different filter values with comma, but this did not help.
    Also I will be glad if someone could give me a link on documentation about BEx objects in Excel.
    Thanks in advance,

  • PerformancePoint in SharePoint 2010 - Unable to get filter values from... Error 10828

    I currently am using PPT to expose data from a Microsoft Analysis Server cube. The cube is wide open and requires no permissions to access.
    The behavior of my filters is odd as sometimes they work perfectly fine, and other times I receive the following error upon report run:
    Unable to get filter values.
    An unexpected error occurred. Error 10828. Additional details have been logged for your administrator.
    I have looked at the ULS logs and found the following:
    An unexpected error occurred.  Error 10828.  Exception details: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.    
     at Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.Server.PmServer.QueryTimeIntelligenceInternal(DataSource dataSource, DateTime currentTime, String formula)

    An exception occurred while rendering a Web control. The following diagnostic information might help to determine the cause of this problem:  Microsoft.PerformancePoint.Scorecards.BpmException: Unable to get filter values.  PerformancePoint Services

    This is odd to me, as I can trick the report to run by changing the date filters to another day, then back to the original days that error'ed out and everything is fine. Some guidance would be appreciated.

    Hi,
    Do you mean that you have Office 2007 and Office 2010 both installed in you computer?
    Based on my test, I copy a Access 2010 database into a computer only installed Offic 2007, then using Excel 2007 to import Access database data, no error occurred.
    So double click the Access database to see whether the databased is opened with Access 2007 or Access 2010. If it is opened with Access 2010, then try to save it as Access 2007 to
    check the issue.

  • How to capture the entries based on filter values in oo alv..

    Hi all,
    I have a scenario in my oo alv report, when the user select the any column on report and selects the filter option. In that the user can enters required values. Based on filter values the output will be displayed. Now how can i capture currently displaying entries on report.
    Thanks,

    Is that GET_FILTERED_ENTRIES( ) reads the indexes or values from the entries..?

  • How can I pass a filter value to another report?

    I'm using a filter within a formula of a field. For example: (FILTER("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual" USING ("Time"."Fiscal Quarter" = '2012 Q 2'))-FILTER("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual" USING ("Time"."Fiscal Quarter" = '2012 Q 1')))*-1
    What the above is doing is calculating the variance between Q1 and Q2. My issue is when I drill on this value to a more detailed report, it's combining the Q1 and Q2 values, instead of showing the difference. I'm trying to avoid having to hard code the drill report and was wondering if there's any way to pass the calculated FILTER to the other report?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    I presume that you want to show the the difference between a prompted quarter and its previous quarter?
    If so, I would use the Ago Time Series Function to create a new logical measure for prior quarter e.g.
    ago("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual", "Time"."Quarter", 1)
    Note that the function should contain the time dimension level for quarter. The 1 at the end is the offset e.g. 1 quarter ago. This measure will now return the prior quarter value for whatever quarter is prompted.
    Create a prompt for your report for Fiiscal Quarter, and set a filter in the report for the same column with an operator of Is Prompted.
    Add the base measure ("Facts - Actuals Ledger"."Actual") and your new Ago measure to the report. When you prompt the report with a quarter, these two columns will show the Actual amount for the promted quarter and the previous quarter respectively. Now all you need to do is subtract one from the other.
    Now, when you drill to another report, the filter value of the prompted quarter will be passed across. Apply the same logic to define measures in the drill report, receiving the prompted quarter only.
    Note that you can also use Time Series Functions in the column formula when creating the analysis.
    Please mark if helpful / correct,

  • How to Add a New Filter Value in BEx WAD to Display All Result

    Hi experts,
    I want to add a new filter value in BEx WAD to display all data records. The scenario is as follows:
    The status field can have two values: Active ("A) and Inactive ("I").
    But the requirement is to have a third value to display all the data records (Active + Inactive). E.g. the value can be "G". The purpose is to increase the understandability for report users.
    Does anyone have an idea?
    Regards,
    Joon

    Hi Vineet,
    thanks for your reply. The problem is that there are only 2 values available for this Characteristic: "A" or "I".
    The requirement is to have a third value "G" (instead of the default "All Value") due to historical reason, because all future report users have been working with R/3 reports for quite some time and they are accustomed to using "G" for displaying all values.
    Is there any possibility to realize this?
    Thanks,
    Joon
