Showing dynamic column

Question

Hi,
I need help to answer my case...
Case:
In the report, I have 2 prompts, 1 called as PERIOD, the other called as PERIOD COUNT (consist of 1-12).
When I input a value in PERIOD (January) and I input (4), the table should be looked like this:
PERIOD : January
PERIOD COUNT : 4
ID | NAME | January | February | March | April |
=============================
When I input a value in PERIOD (January) and I input (7), the table should be looked like this:
PERIOD : January
PERIOD COUNT : 7
ID | NAME | January | February | March | April | May | June | July |
========================================
etc..
Can OBIEE support this case?
Thanks

Answer 1

Hi,
If you have month number column (1...12), create a dashboard prompt and assign a presentation variable pv_mno, (Create an edit box prompt)
If you do not have it create an case statement over month name and populate 1..12 and put filter over it.
In Answers, put add a filter over that column with condition is less than or equal to the presentation variable (pv_mno).
In Answers bring ID,Name, Month Name, Measures.
Go to pivot view put the month name column in columns sections. hide the measure heading.
Have the Id, Name in Rows section.
Thanks,
