Hi experts,
I have a Answers report, where I have included a column and changing the fx formula to find out the time diff ..
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, "Bank Transactions - Payor Aging".AccountingDate, "Bank Transactions - Payor Aging".AccountingDate)
here I want the second "Bank Transactions - Payor Aging".AccountingDate to be replaces with any date like as below
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, "Bank Transactions - Payor Aging".AccountingDate, '06/02/2010') for June-02-2010.
But, the above date format is working... can any suggest what format I have give here to work.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Madan...
Thanks for the quick reply...
I want to continue by next question on top of the TIMESTAMPDIFF function....
TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, "Bank Transactions - Payor Aging".AccountingDate, TIMESTAMP '2010-06-02 00:00:00')
how can I pass this part of the value from the Dashboard Prompt. I knew that the dashboard prompt can only be created on the presentation column. I can't put any date column in my datawarehouse datamodel as there is already one. I looking if there any other way of passing the second date value from the dashboard prompt.
Thanks in Advance

  • How to use groupby function in OBIEE ANSWERS ???

    Hi ,
    I need to find TOP 1000 client names on each product and I need to group the data by product. I am unable to group the data in Answers , I dont have access to the repository.
    I used the Top function but unable to group the data. Please help me...

    Why didn't using TOP work for you? What kind of results did you get?
    I can also suggest using custom ColumnCount with RSUM () in it, applying filter RSUM()<=1000, and sorting by product amount DESC
    and definitely your column order should be something like this - product group, client, product_amt, rowcount (you can actually remove this once you create filter for it)

  • Evaluate function in OBIEE

    Hi All,
    I tried using Evaluate and Evaluate_Aggr in the column formula of a report.
    Evaluate_Aggr() is erroring saying the dimension Work Order is incorrectlly defines logical Table Source Mapping for a dimension of Work Order. If I revoke the implicit fact coniguration on this Subject Area which I have, the report executes as expected. But this implicit configuration is required in my scenario for other reports to work.
    Using Evaluate() works perfectly.
    Can anyone help me in fixing this?
    Shld I add any other configuration in the RPD to resolve this issue?
    Thanks

  • OBIEE Answers functionality questions

    Hi,
    I pretty new to OBIEE Answers orginally working with Business Objects XI Webi, I have read through the user guides for Answers but some functionality I would like thats in BO XI but doesnt seem to be avaliable in Answers, Im not sure if its not documented because its more advanced functionality or whether Answers just can't do it ? Is the following functionality avaliable in Answers,
    1. I want to build a report based on 2 queries and then link the data in these queries by a common dimension and display this data in 1 report, for example I have query 1 with fields A,B,C and query 2 with fields A, D, E, I want to link on field A as its common and in the 1 report display the fields A,B,C,D,E
    is this possible ? This is not the same as union / intersect, and is not the same as dashboard showing two query results, I want 1 table showing the results of two queries.
    2. Once you have you data set returned is there anyway to filter on the data displayed in the report without the SQL actually having the filter in ? For example I have 1 query returning 100 rows of data and in that 50 rows are of type = A and 50 are of type = B. I dont want to have two seperate queries one to get all type A and one to get all type B, but I would prefer to return all rows in the query then filter the results in the report itself so I can have 1 report table showing type = A and 1 report table showing type = B, pretty much like how you can add a filter in Excel or again how you would add a report level filter in BO XI ?

  • OBIEE timestampdiff function syntax error

    Hi all,
    I am getting an error while applying timestampdiff function .help me to sort it out.

    Aswin,
    Syntax looks to be fine but before applying it here can you check if both these 2 parameters returns date in same format:
    "- Sanction and Disbursment"."Value Date" = 08/21/2011 (No Timestamp)
    VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.VAR_CAL_CURR_DATE) = 08/21/2011 (No Timestamp)
    Both shud have same format.
    Also, try this for verification
    TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY,"- Sanction and Disbursment"."Value Date" , CURRENT_DATE)
    Hope this helps

  • Percentile_Disc Function in OBIEE 10g - Help needed at the earliest

    Hi All,
    I have a requirement of using PERCENTILE_DISC function in OBIEE 10g repository. I tried NTile function, to fetch the percentile. But that is not what am intending to see.
    I have a requirement something similar to this, to be implemented in repository. Could anyone throw some light in this regard?
    PERCENTILE_DISC(.25) WITHIN GROUP (ORDER BY F.Days asc) OVER (PARTITION BY A.NAME, B.PLACE)
    Here F = Fact
    A = 1st Dimension
    B = 2nd Dimension
    Days = Is calculated as TIMESTAMPDIFF(SQL_TSI_DAY, A.DATE, B.DATE). Established Inner Join, to fetch this calculation in to the FACT
    Appreciate your responses at the earliest. Thanks once again.
    Regards,
    Sarat Nallapati

    Hi,
    I don't have any idea on percentile_disc.
    But,in OBIEE we have a function PERCENTILE()
    It will give the percentage of each value in the total sum of all the values.
    once check it.

  • How to use Table valued MSSQL  function in OBIEE

    Hi all,
    Can some one help me to understand how to use table valued function in OBIEE? I want to use a table valued function (MSSQL function, with some input parameter), in the physical layer to pull the data?
    I know for MSSQL Stored Procedure we can write as
    EXEC SP_NAME @Parameter = 'VLUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Variablename)'
    but now I have a table valued function in the query window I can get the data as
    select * from myfunction(parametervalue)
    In physical layer of OBIEE I have tried as
    select * from myfunction('VLUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Variablename)'), but I'm getting error as the NQ_SESSION variable doesn't have a value , but actually I have initialized the variable but still Im getting error.
    Can some one help me to solve this.

  • Issues with integrating Java script functions in OBIEE 11G

    Hello experts..
    I am trying to integrate some Javascript functions in my OBIEE 11G Dashboard..
    I have modified the original common.js file and renamed it as insight_common.js in the following directory (backed up the original file of course)
    OBIEE 11G Folder/user_projects/domains/bifoundation_domain/servers/bi_server1/tmp/_WL_user/analytics_11.1.1/7dezjl/war/res/b_mozilla/insight_common.js
    In my dashboard, I have a dashboard object as text component where I have checked 'Contains HTML Markup'. I have written the following code:
    hello
    <script src="/res/b_mozilla/insight_common.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript">
    sayHi();
    </script>
    However, when I launch the dashboard, it is not working.
    In the Google Chrome browser as I inspected the element to investigate the reason, I am getting the following error under 'console'
    Failed to load resource: the server responded with a status of 404 (Not Found) http://localhost/res/b_mozilla/insight_common.js
    Uncaught ReferenceError: sayHi is not defined saw.dll:611
    It seems that OBIEE is not recognizing the new file that I made..
    Is there a way around this?
    Thanks

    Srini
    I don't have backgrounds in coding, so a lot of what I wrote came from my own researching...
    Now I have tried your latest suggestions again as the below:
    1.<script type="text/javascript" src="res/b_mozilla/insight_common.js">
    sayHi();
    </script>
    and
    2.
    <script type="text/javascript" src="res/test.js"></script> ----- in my case: <script type="text/javascript" src="res/b_mozilla/is_common,js"></script>
    Now both codes this time do not yield any outputs when launching the dashboard. The section is blank and the preview of the Text section in the dashboard is blank as well..
    So, are you sure these are all the steps I need to take to call javascript function in OBIEE?
    Do I need to define anything in weblogic or other places?
    I hope I am not missing any steps..
    Thanks and let me know..

    I had actually seen all those links. Thanks for your time although.

  • How to use CHOOSE function in OBIEE

    Hi,
    Could any one help me out in using the choose function in OBIEE.
    How can a column be restricted using the choose function, when different users belonging to different groups logs in.
    Rakesh

    It seems be obvious that you should not publish reports to users and groups who are not allowed to see the columns in the report,
    but in practice it can be very challenging to oversee this, especially when you have a lot of groups and a very strict security model....or "unsurmountable" and unchangeable "business requirements" ;-)
    Testing definitely is the crucial point. And when you start going nuts with column access rights plus column selectors, dynamic view switching, guided nav., dynamic column formulae etc. etc. the fun really begins.

  • About the filter function in OBIEE 11g

    Hi, all.
    when i use the filter function in OBIEE 11g, it turn out a wrong result.
    The operation steps and detail are described as follow:
    1. In the Column Formula pane, I typed the Formula of the column 'count of customer' as:
    FILTER(count(distinct("customer info dimesion"."customerID")) USING ("TradeType Dimesion"."TradeType" = '001'))
    2. But the phisical SQL about this column in the NQquery file is that: "count(distinct(T11520.CUSTOMERID)) as c5, "
    which means that, the filter wasn't applied, right?
    If so, what shall I do in this situation, in other words , how can i make a Condition COUNT？
    Any Suggestion is appreciated!
    Thank you in advance~~O(∩_∩)O~

    Hi katherine,
    FILTER(count(distinct("customer info dimesion"."customerID")) USING ("TradeType Dimesion"."TradeType" = '001'))I think your formula there is mistake like many braces...instead type this in your f(x)
    =>Filter(count(distinct customer_id) USING trade type='001')
    This filter function is same like a case statement,if you filter still gives error write a case statement
    CASE WHEN TradeType Dimesion.TradeType='001' THEN count(distinct customer info dimesion.customerID) ELSE 0 END
    Will it be helpful?,follow this etiquette http://forums.oracle.com/forums/ann.jspa?annID=939
