Showing Prompt values in the report

A report contains two prompts. Users want those values shown in the report, ideally in the title. Is this possible? If so, please provide some direction.
Regards,

You can do so by using presentation variables for those prompts and then using those variable names in the report title.
Doing that will give what your users want.

How to use the prompt value in the report column

Hi
I have a report prompt column which is 'Adj Type' which holds values 10,20,30 and when user selects Adj Type = 10 then this value should be passed to report column.
For Eg. Column 1 value is 10 and this should multiple with prompt value and the output should be 10* 10.
Any thoughts how to capture the prompt values in report column for calculation.

hi hsekar,
1) Declare a presentation variable in prompt under the Set Variable section -->Presentation Variable -->P_var
2) In Fx Table_name.Your_column * @{P_Var}
@{P_var}{20} ( 20 is default value it will override when a user selects value in prompt

Showing Chosen Prompt Values In the Report

Hi All,
I need to show to user the values which chosen from dashboard prompts..I thinkiI cannot do this with variables,because prompts are multiple selection...How can show these values as a text in a part of report?(For example below the graph view..)
Thank You

Screenshot is missing and I forgot to say something important...I want to show to user what he/she choose...For example:
Dashboard Prompt:
Product Group (Multiple Select)
Product Code (Multiple Select)
Machine Group (Multiple Select)
Machine Code (Multiple Select)
If the user selects only Product Group and Machine Group...This data will be shown...Product Code and Machine Code will not be shown..But in your suggestion all Product Code values will be shown,right??

Multiple value variable - not showing Multiple values in the report

I have careated a Multiple value variable for one of the characteristics in my Query. however, When i run the Query and select multiple values for the same, the report displays values for only the first selection.
Could you help me resolve this ?

Hello Shweta,
Are you running the report in the Analyzer excel or Web?
May be you can check the following:
1. Use the latest FEP. It is working for me.
2. May be the other values that you selected do not have corresponding keyfigures values. Hence it is showing only the first one.
Try selecting other values ( except first one selected this time )

Default prompt values in webI report???

I am using BO XI 3.1 on BW universe, I have a prompt A in the prompt window which has many Lov's but user will freequently use only three values out of it.
So I want to make those three values to be default for that promp A when ever the report gets refreshed, so that it will be easy for user not to search in the big list for those 3 values.
Any inputs please.
Thanks,

Hi,
You can make some values as default prompt values by webi report.
1) Open the webi report.
2) Edit the query then go to the prompt
3) Go to the prompt properties checked the chekcbox "Set default values" and type the three values and ok.
So next time user refresh the report all three values come in the filter default.They can remove or add more values in the list.but every time all values come in the filter.
Thanks,

Date range to be displayed & Displaying multiple values on the report

Hi,
I have date range parameters, but I also need it to be displayed it on the report. Is there any way I can display it. E.G If a parameter is created one can drag and drop it on the report if it needs to be displayed on the report, I tried to do the same for the date range parameter but it does not work.
Also If a parameter is created by selecting the option 'Allow Multiple Values', and if you drag and drop it on the report only the first value is displayed and the rest does not show. Has anyone tried this before and been successful in displaying multiple values in the report.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
A multi-value parameter is actually treated as an array in Crystal Reports.
To display the values selected in the parameter, create a formula from the Field Explorer and type this code:
Join({?ParameterName},",");
Place this formula on the header or the footer sections of the report.
Regarding the date range issue, please follow Sastry's advice and it should work fine.
Make sure you're using the parameter in the Minimum and Maximum functions. For eg: If I was to create a date range parameter called OrderDate, my formula to show the start date would look like this:
Minimum({?OrderDate})

Restricting Null Values in the report

Hi All,
I have a aggregated feild displayed in the bottom of the report and sorted on the report on that field to show me top results.
When I try to run the report, Null values are coming first in the report (Displayed as NaN).
I want to restrict these null values from the report.
Please guide me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Imtiaz.

Okay. If you are using sum, you could use the following: <?sum(Petrofac-ECRevenue[.!=''])?>
ensure that the path to the element is correct. Are you using a syntax like <?sum(current-group()/Petrofac-ECRevenue)?>
Send me an email to [email protected] with your xml data and RTF if you can't make it work.

How to get rid of unassigned values in the report

hai to all,
here is the issue,
while running a report(sales per country), iam getting the data,after that when i drill down on sales document number iam getting some unassigned data, with Sales document number as #, and some value in the keyfigure.what is the reason behind this?
Here is another issue that i want to find all the sales documents which have the value # in the report?, is it possible? the same case with Customer country, on the same report.
pl anyone help me

venkat/shyam

Hi Shyam.
Regarding the first issue: Well, you've loaded some data records into your cube where the "Sales Doc Field" is empty. Did you load through PSA? The best way to scan your PSA (I believe) is to find the underlying table and have a look at it via SE16. In this way you don't have to scan through every data single package. This can be done via "display data flow" from your cube and switch on technical names. There you have it. (It's called /BIC/B00...etcetc you might have to add i few zeroes though when you enter it into SE16). Get request ID from "Infocube Managment". In SE16 seelction screen use F2 to set the "sales Doc No." field even to blank.
Second issue is a bit easier: in your query (or a working copy of your query) restrict on "Sales Doc No" or "Customer Coutry" to only include value "#". In the same way you can remove the unassigned values be excluding value "#".
Hope this works for you.

Reports in EPM version 16 to be refreshed twice to see the values in the Report

Dear All,
We are on BPC 10 and EPM version 16. When we try to refresh the Reports in EPM 16, the first time, it does not bring any values, but when we refresh the second time, we get the values in the Report. Has anyone faced the similar issue like this, please let me know how it can be solved? When i execute the same report in EPM 13, the report gets the values in the first refresh itself.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,
Rama

Hi Swapnil, Vadim,
Thanks for your help but as per the Note, I would like to check if this will help for my Report. As per the Note it says,
Resolution
A solution is to select the member Context(XXXX) in the 'EPM - Member selector' for the dimension initialized in page axis for the input schedule instead of referring to Sheet1 in the EPMOlapMember formula.
Another solution is to implement a macro via a button in the second sheet that contains the input schedule as follows:
Point 1: I have 6 sheets in this workbook, The Input Sheet which you see below is created by using a MACRO. Going to each sheet and changing the context would not help our users because they need to just refresh from the Input sheet.
Point 2: It says, to go to each sheet and create a MACRO which is also not feasible for our users. They require to have it in the Input sheet only.
Below Screen shot is from Input Sheet. PRC refers to the Profit Center in the below screen shot.
Below Screen shot is from Sheet 1
Please let me know if I am wrong as per the Note.
Thanks in advance,

Showing prompt value in report - Need Urgent help

Hi All,
I have created a query that has a prompt (it is not the dashboard prompt) that has " in Between" operator. It is on date column. When i am generating report by passing the prompt value the data is coming properly.
I have downloaded the report in excel format and it is coming perfect. But i am not able to provide the data that he has selected in the prompt.
Like on top of page i need to show - The report is genrated for Date1 to Date2.
And then the data.
Thanks in advance for any clue. I am not able to figure out how to do this.
Thanks
Ashok

Hi Ashok,
It seems it's possible, but not with the Filters view... but with Narrative View....
If you have Calendar Date (which contains all dates till today) column in your model, then... if you want to show only the date prompt values on top even though you have all other prompts...
For above mentioned criteria... you can't show only one date using filters view...
Now... go with Narrative View,
In that particular report add Calendar Date column 2 times...
On one column apply Max(date) and on another column apply Min(Date)....
Hide those...
Now note down the positions of these above 2 columns in criteria... say 6 & 7... respectively...
Now you write in narrative view...
Selected Date between @ and @6
So... based on the dates you selected.. the calendar date populate with the values and would hold the max and min i.e. what... selected values of your prompts...
So by using this.. you can only show.. one prompt.... not all the prompts which you have...
May helpful to you when you have .. Calendar Date only... remember ;)
Thanks & Regards

Is it possible to enter "Input Control" values on the report prompts screen? How?

Our report users are used to enter their parameters on the prompt.
I have created a new report on WEBI XI 3.1. and this report has some prompts and also input controls.
That means, when the user wants to run the report they have to enter their parameters on the report prompt and then they have to navigate to the input control and select the values.
That makes them feel like they are entering parameters twice for a report.
Is there any way the initial value for an input control can be entered on a report prompt screen?
So, the user enters the values of the prompt and the initial values of the input controls together only once at the prompt screen?

Thank you very much for the confirmation Amit.
Yes, I considered adding a prompt instead of an input control but this input control selects data based on a custom calculation performed in a variable at the report level. To create a prompt on the query I would have to make the calculation at the universe level.
Anyway, it seems 'Input Control" may be a useful tool for our reports, so we decided to get our report users accustomed to the input control tool.
Thanks again for the help.

Displaying Prompt values in webi report

Hi,
How to display prompt value in my webi report.
For one prompt value I can user Userresponse function.
In one of my report, I have a prompt for Date, which also should be displayed in the report under one field. I am using the below formula: =UserResponse("Enter Date:")
But my new requirement is User wants a Date Range for a particual trasaction date. I created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
I need to display the start date and end date user selected under one field Date in my webi report.
how should I do that.
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks,
Ven Men

Hi Ven,
You have created a report level prompt like
Transaction Date Between "Enter Tran Date(Start):" and "Enter Tran Date(End):"
1.Drag two blank cell on report.
2.click on one blank cell and on formula editor type following formula.
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(Start):" )
This will show you start date in the cell.
3.Similarly in another cell type the following formula
=UserResponse("Enter Tran Date(End):" )
This will show you End Date in respective cell.
Do revert in case of any queries.
Thanks,
