How to get date prompts from one date column

i have a requirement where i have to filter the data between two date prompts. i have only one date column and the date in the prompts shuld be selected by calendar.
i have seen may approaches to do this and i got one where two dummy date columns should be declared in repository and used to define the date prompts.
but using other methods i could not get the calendar option in prompt.
but is there any other way to get the prompts with calndar selection without defining the dummy columns in repository
thanks

you can do that first select the date column you want to use in dashboard prompt then select another column and in the dashboard prompts then open the fx of the date prompt you first selected copy that and paste it in the second column and in the control section click on calender it will work you can use same date column as two prompts with out creating new column.

Getting an error - with date prompt

Hi,
I really need a help to resolve this issue -
I have created a date prompt As of date with presentation variable name CPG_CASH_DATE.
I have use this variable in different number columns - Amount Due Original , Amount Applied , Amount Due Remaining.
Inside the amount due original the function is CASE WHEN "Fact - CPG AR Payment Schedules"."Due Date" <=CAST(CAST(substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),1,4)||'/'||substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),6,2)||'/'||substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),9,2)||' 00:00:00' AS CHAR) AS DATE) THEN ifnull("Fact - CPG AR Payment Schedules"."Amount Due Original",0) ELSE 0 END
Inside the amount applied the function is CASE WHEN "Fact - CPG AR Payment Schedules"."Due Date" <=CAST(CAST(substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),1,4)||'/'||substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),6,2)||'/'||substring(('@{CPG_CASH_DATE}'),9,2)||' 00:00:00' AS CHAR) AS DATE) THEN ifnull("Fact - CPG AR Payment Schedules"."Amount Applied",0) ELSE 0 END
Sometimes it is working -but now I am getting below error.

Poojak,
This is a common error when attempting CAST to dates. I've resolved this in the past using Gerad's post here, http://gerardnico.com/wiki/dat/obiee/cast_as_date
I'm not sure why you are getting thie inconsistency when you say it was "sometimes" working and now it is not. Perhaps you've been in iterative develpment and changed a few things which broke something here.
Take a look at Gerad's notes that this will resolve your issue.
Please awards points if this helps or answers your question.
Cheers,

Error in date prompt after migrating from 5.x to XI R2

Hi,
We have migrated from 5.x to XiR2 SP5 and are facing a problem with the date input parameter.
Our users use DESKI , when they try to access thier reports based on Stored Procedure,and the reports having date prompt , they get an error.
In 5.x they used to enter the date as DD MON YYYY , in XIR2 they enter it as MM/DD/YYYY but still we get the error
"The variable is of type date enter its value in the format 9/17/2009 14:50:00 PM"
The users tried this too but still the same error persists. The Oracle.prm and Oracle.sbo file on teh users machine is the same as that of the server.
I am able to recreate this error after logging onto the server and opening DESKi there. This error is occuring only with Stored procedures that take date as input parameter
has anybody faced this issue before, any resolutions for this
Thanks in advance
Shreekantha

Hi,
After analyzing this problem , what we found that no Stored Procedures that take user input are functioning, irrespective of teh datatype of the input prompt.
For all SPs that take user input we get an error saying
Connection or SQL sentence error: (DA0005)
Exception: DBD, ORA-06550: line 1, column 7:
PLS-00306: wrong number or types of arguments in call to 'PROCEDURE_TEST_WITHOUTDATE'

Invalid Year error when refreshing the report with date prompt

Hi All,
I am working on BO XI 3.1 with Informix database.
When refreshing the report without any date prompt the report is running fine,but when applying the date prompt it is giving the error message
"Invalid year in the date".
I have tried changing the value in the advance tab of the object property to 'yyyy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss'
But it also din't work for me.
Please suggest.
Thanks and Regards,
Rishabh

Hi Experts,
Thanks for your suggestions.
Since changing the PRM file was not a fesiable solution for us.
We have manged to find a work around to solve this issue
We have created the filters at universe level with following formula for all the date objects which we ere using at report level as a prompt:
@Select(classname\objectname)=TO_DATE(@Prompt('Enter Date:','D',,mono,free,not_persistent), '%Y/%m/%d')
Although when we parse this formula it wil give an error message saying 'illigle operation',
still it will work when we use this at report level.
Thanks and Regards,

Facing data type error when changing the order of fields in a query

Hello Experts
I am working on E sourcing 5.1.
I have a query with some filters . I want to change the position of a particular filter.
Basically I want to move a filter of type date to the top , so that it is the 1st parameter.
I was able to do this by reorder option.
However at runtime it gives me an error saying that "error u201CORA-00932: inconsistent datatypes: expected NUMBER got date."
Later I reverted back my changes so that the date filed is at its original position and faced no issues.
Query worked fine.
Is the order of filters important when executing a query.
Please suggest how can I move the date filter to the top of the query's filter list.
Regards
Vikas

Hello Vikas,
Its not the SELECT statements that you need to change. You have to change the WHERE caluse.
In the WHERE clause, some of the conditions will have some table column equated to a '?' symbol. This symbol is a place-holder for a filter prompt. There is a one-to-one correspondence between the '?' symbols and the filter prompts created in the query(under the Filter Prompt tab). This means that the first '?' corresponds to the first filter prompt, second '?' to the second filter prompt and so on.
Keeping the above information in mind, you can attempt to make changes to your query. You can duplicate your existing query and try your hands at it.
One more point worth mentioning : It is evident that if you need to use the same filter prompt at more than once place in the query definition, you have to create more than one instance of that query prompt.(Here by another instance I mean that the two filter prompts should have same values in their fields when you define them.) But even when you create more than one instance of a filter prompt, on the UI it will appear just as a single instance.
If things have become more confusing than before (of which there is a high probability ) then please go through the online help for Queries. It has got an extensive documenation and will be surely be of some help to you.
Good luck!!

Date Prompts

Hi,
I am trying to create a date prompt
Field - Service Date
Data type - Date dd/mm/yyyy
I would like the date prompt to be <= Service Date in format MON-YY e.g. <= 'AUG-12'
I have tried but get error: A datetime value was expected (received "AUG-12").
The prompt sql looks like:
SELECT DISTINCT evaluate('to_char(%1,%2)' as character(30),"JE"."Service Date",'MON-YY') FROM "MAIN RPT"
Also can the date prompt be ordered asc, can anyone help?

SELECT DISTINCT evaluate('to_char(%1,%2)' as character(30),"JE"."Service Date",'MON-YY') FROM "MAIN RPT"
Also can the date prompt be ordered asc, can anyone help?Try this:
1) For your prompt, select the Service Date column, then click on the Show and change to "SQL Results"
2) Where the table."Service Date" is, replace with the following:
MONTHNAME(table."Service Date")||'-'||CAST(YEAR(table."Service Date") as CHAR)
3) Save this to a presentation variable called pv_Date.
4) Create a small report with 2 columns: TIMESTAMPADD(SQL_TSI_DAY, -DAYOFMONTH(table."Service Date")+1, table."Service Date") and MONTHNAME(table."Service Date")||'-'||CAST(YEAR(table."Service Date") as CHAR)
5) Put an "Is Prompted" filter on the 2nd column "equal to" pv_Date.
This small report will report two things: the month-year of the selection by the user, and the first day of the month of that selection.
6) In your main report, on your table."Service Date" column, put a filter on this "less than or equal to" and change it to a "filter based on another request."
7) Point this to the small report and specifically the "timestamp column."
Now you will have all service dates less than the month-year selected by the user. You didn't mention a bottom limit, but that can be easily added to your criteria. That's it.

Any suggestions or ideasYou are correct. You cannot build two prompts on the same column. Use this link for instructions on how to build a "between prompt" because of this fact:

Calendar date prompts

I am on 11.1.1.5. I am creating two calendar date prompts begin date and end date for an analysis. I want to be able to generate some kind error message or warning if the user tries to enter a date smaller than begin date in end date prompt. How can I do this?

@Amith, no the link would not accurately satisfy the OP's need. What if the user chooses a valid date (i.e., in the allowable date range), but the report produces no records? The customized "No Results" message, would say, "Please choose a valid date value" and would be incorrect.

How can I do this?@user12301184, what you need to do is this:
1) Create a small report that returns rows if the dates selected in the dashboard prompts are in the valid range, and does not return rows if the dates chosen are outside the range.
2) In the dashboard, move a Section to the workspace and put your main report there. Click on Section>Properties>Guided Navigation and have OBIEE point to the small report created in step 1 with the radio button "Display when report returns rows" checked off.
3) Move another Section to the workspace and put a Text object in the Section. Click Section>Properties>Guided Navigation and point to the same report, but this time choose "Dispay if the report returns no rows."
4) Now in the Text object, put your customized message, "Please choose a valid date range."
5) Finally, in the report itself, you can customize your "No Results" view to say, "There are no records to display for the date range selected."
To summarize, according to the OP's criteria, there are two reasons why the report wouldn't show rows: one, specifically because of the invalid date range; and two -- not explicitly stated, but true nonetheless -- when the report itself produces no rows even though the date range is valid.
My solution takes into account both scenarios. It doesn't give a potential wrong error message like so many applications do when the scenarios are not thought out completely.

Hi All,
We are facing date format error, while running the query in Bex analyzer.
We have one column in report i.e Net Payment Date, so when we run the query in analyzer the single date like "5-6-2010 is getting swapped like 6-5-10 & year also showing two digits i.e instead of 2010 it shows 10" & date like "12-09-2010 is coming perfectly."
Means the date which is in single digit we are facing this problem like 1 to 9 & the dates which are 10 & above showing perfectly.
In RSRT the query showing proper result, so i don't think it's BI problem.
The regional setting is DD-MM-YYYY & Date separator is '-' & we don't want to change this format.
Is there any SAP note or any solution for this..??
All the replays are gr8ly appreciated.
Thanks,
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
how about web display? is it ok? for me it seems more an Excel problem, so maybe you should check if there is special formatingin this.

Date Prompt in OBIEE 11.1.1.7.0

Good Afternoon, hope you all are well.
We have the following issue in our production environment.
Our Exact Date prompt is causing our reports to error, the reason being is that the relevant Fact table to the prompt has no data.
Is there a piece of SQL we can add to the prompt to say if it cannot find any data to that specific date then use SYSDATE?
Regards

Thats not giving correct value. the Amount filter is also considering the date filters.
Data Available:
UserName    Month            Amount
A1               Jan 2015          100
A2               Feb 2015          150
A3               Mar 2015           200
I am getting below result:

Below is the expected result.
UserName    Month            Amount    YTD Amount[FILTER("Amount" USING("Dim - Time"."Date" between date '@{date1}{2015-01-01}' and date '@{date2}{2015-03-24}'))]
A2               Feb 2015          150                    350
A3               Mar 2015           200                    350
Below is the expected result.
