Two prompts on the same column

Hi Experts,
I am trying to define two different prompts (and associate them to two different presentation variables) on the same column. However, when I display the 2 prompts on the same dashboard page, whenever I select a value for the first prompt, the same value is automatically selected for the second prompt.
Is this normal behavior? How can I do to capture two separate values?
Thanks,
Guillaume

Hi Stijn,
Thanks for your quick reply.
I think that's what I have done. I have 2 prompts (Prompt1, Prompt2) on the same column, and respectively associated with presentation variables Var1 and Var2.
In the request, I refer to '@{Var1}' and '@{Var2}' in my filters. On the dashboard page, I display Prompt1 and Prompt2. But the moment I select a value for Prompt1 and click 'Go', the same value is assigned to 'Prompt2' (and thus to Var2). And if I select a value in Prompt2 and click 'Go', again that same value is selected in Prompt1.
Bottom line, it looks like a dashboard prompt defined on a specific column can only have one value. Is this correct? And if so, how can I capture 2 different values for the same column and use them as parameters/variable in a request?
Thanks,
Guillaume

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:

Print data in two line in the same column

Hi,
In a tabular Report I want to print a column (eg:Description,) in two lines in the same cell.
Since the description is too long. Is it possible in report 6i. Or any other solution for this?
Please reply.

Hello,
For the Description field set the Vertical Elasticity to EXPAND. Then it will adjust automatically based on data.

Merge Two Tables with the same columns but different data

I have a table that has the following columns:
Current Table Definition
commonname
family
genus
species
subspecies
code
I have a number of entries that donât fit the current table definition â that is that they only have a common name or description and a code. These records donât actually represent a species but are needed for data entry because they represent an object that may be encountered in the study (Bare Ground â which isnât a species but would need to be recorded if encountered). So I would really like 2 tables:
Table 1 Miscellaneous
name
code
Table 2 Plant Species
commonname
family
genus
species
subspecies
code
I would like two tables so I can enforce certain constraints on my species table like requiring that the family, genus, species, subspecies combination is unique. I canât do this if I have all the âotherâ records that donât have a family, genus, species, or subspecies unless I put in a lot of dummy data into the fields to make each record unique. I donât really want to do this because these miscellaneous records really donât represent a specific species.
So â the problem is that while I want this data separate I will need to point a column from another table to the code column in both tables.
How is this best done? Table? View? Merge?

Hi,
Actually you don't have to use scope refs. Sorry but I misunderstood you earlier. Here is a complete example that does exactly what you want. Notice how I added the constraint to the materialized view. Also notice when we try to insert a code in tbl3 that doesn't exist in the view, we get an error. HTH.

;I assume that the year_month column is a DATE. Date information always belongs in DATE columns.
As written, the two months do not need to be consecutive. If you always want consectuive months, this can be re-written so that you only have to enter the first month, not both of them.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Point out a few places where the query above is giving the wrong results, and explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data in those places. If you changed the query at all, post your code.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

Display two characteristics in the same column

Hi everyone,
I have two cubes that store key figures in two different ways.
In the first cube I have several key figures like "Amount in Local Currency", "Amount in Document Currency" etc. these have the currency characteristics "Local currency"(0LOC_CURRCY) and "Document Currency"(0DOC_CURRCY) associated with them.
In the second cube I have one key figure "Amount" and a characteristic "Currency Type" that has the values "Local Currency" and "Document Currency". The key figure is associated with the characteristic "Currency"(0CURRENCY).
I have a report demand that requires me to collect values (Document Currency) from both reports and the report should also be drilled down on the characteristic "Currency". Now the demand is for one characteristic for Currencies and I would like to know what my options are.
The only two ideas that I have is
1. Add a new custom characteristic "Document Currency" in both cubes and populate it with the Document Currency.
2. Create a virtual characteristic that combines both characteristics into one.
None of these options are very appealing to me and I was wondering if there is a third option which I have missed?
I could also mention that I am doing this query in Bex Analyzer.
Thank you in advance for your help!

Query - data from two versions in the same column

Hello
Let me share my business scenario. Maybe you will be able to help me to desgn a query I am looking for.
I have data in my Info Cube:
- Version (A for plans and B for actuals)
- Calendar Month,
- Sales Amount.
I would like to create a query which presents Sales Amount per every Calendar Month, but:
- Data of version B for all of the months before current one (actuals)
- Data of version A for the current one and all of the nex ones (plans)
In result I expect the matrix like this:
Calendar Month     Sales Amount
2011.01          200 (it is taken from version B - actuals)
2011.02          300 (it is taken from version B - actuals)
2011.03          260 (it is taken from version A - plans)
2011.04          230 (it is taken from version A - plans)
2011.05          200 (it is taken from version A - plans)
Is it possible?
Cheers,
A.

Hello Brian,
Thank you for your answer. It is approach I will use, I think. However let me ask: Would it be possible to have a Version in this layout, too? I mean to see, which value comes from Version A and which comes from Version B? Something like this:
Calendar Month Version Sales Amount
2011.01 B 200
2011.02 B 300
2011.03 A 260
2011.04 A 230
2011.05 A 200

Keyfigs in the same columns without distrubing eachone

I am a newbie in the BI..and i have some problem.
how can we get two KF in the same column?
i have 52 weeks in the column and along with that i need amount column also.how can it possible.i dont want to see weeks at amount.
.............||<u>|amount||quantity|week 1| week 2|(up to 52 weeks) |total days|</u>
<u>employee</u>||
i took employee as the char and amount,quantity as kf.
but the problem is when i am executing the Query,weeks are comeing along with amount also.i need weeks with quantity only.
could you people please give some clues?
thanks alot

Suresh,
Do you need to display the weeks in a column? If you only want the total there, pull the Week characteristic out of there and leave it in the Free Characteristic section.
If you do need the weeks there for another key figure, you are going to have to create a structure - each week will have the key figure within that selection and then a selection with all your weeks selected as a range and the Amount key figure.

I have two phones under the same apple ID and I want to put them on two separate apple IDs. how do I do this?

I have two phones under the same apple ID and I want to put them on separate apple IDs, how do I do this??

If you sign out of an Apple ID under Settings > iCloud, you should be prompted for an option to 'Keep on my iPhone' in regards to Contacts and other related data. Then, when signing in with another Apple ID on that same iPhone, you should be prompted to 'Merge'. If you do both, then you won't lose any Contacts, and the iCloud Contacts will then be merged into the new Apple ID iCloud, but also will stay on the old Apple ID iCloud.
In the future, it might be best to post your own question thread instead of bumping a thread that is over two years old.

Formula to Calculate Cell Above in the Same Column?

How do you write a formula that looks if two cells (with dates) are identical in the same column; and if they are not identical, subtract 1 day from the date in the above cell to determine the date for the cell below it.
=IF($A1=$A2,B1-1,B2+28)

One target table is loading from two different source but same columns but one source is in a database and other is in a flat file.

Hope you all are doing good.
I have a business issue to be implemented in ODI 11G. Here it is. I am trying to load a target table from two sources having same coulmn names. But one source is in file format and other is in Oracle Database.
This is what i think i will create two mappings in the same interface using Union between the sources. But i am not sure how the interface would connect to different logical architecture to connect to two different sources.
Thanks,
SM

You are on the right track, this can all be done in a single interface. Do the following
1) Pull your file data model into the source designer and and your target table model to the target pane.
2) Map all the relevant columns
3) In the source designer create a new dataset and choose the UNION join type (this will create a separate tab in the source designer pane)
4) Select the new dataset tab in the source designer pane and pull your source oracle table data model into the source designer. Map all the relevant columns to the target
5) Make sure that your staging location is defined on a relational technology i.e. in this case the target would be an ideal candidate as that is where ODI will stage the data from both file and oracle source and perform the UNION before loading to the target
If you want to look at some pretty screenshots showing the steps above take a look at http://odiexperts.com/11g-oracle-data-integrator-part-611g-union-minus-intersect/

0PA_C01 different results from two queries on the same cube ....

HI
Can you please help with this problems ...
i am running a two queries with the same restrictions e.g
Sep 08 for employee 22345 ,
In one report it shows the Pay Scale level as A1 , then in the other report it shows Pay scale Scale level as A2 ,
looking at the master data in 0employee , the first report is right ... this is how the data looks like in 0employee
Employee Valid from      To                Pay scale Level
222345       2007-11-03   2008-09-30     A1
222345       2008-10-01   9999-12-31     A2
Can someone please shed some light on this , im thinking it has something to do with update rule but even that is supposed to use last date of the month , not 1st day of the following month. The Cube is a stndard cube 0PA_C01 and the update rule aswell .....

Hi,
Please check in the cube whether the data for the Employee is getting with two values like shown in your question:
Employee Valid from To Pay scale Level
222345 2007-11-03 2008-09-30 A1
222345 2008-10-01 9999-12-31 A2
and also check whether when the data loaded to the cube.
There may be some change in the report structure where the difference is getting may in the column wise or row wise restriction may present.
Please check on the structure of the report also.

Ravi Kanth

Compare two results from the same table

i have two results from the same table that i would like to compare. below is my query and the results i want to compare
SELECT tblItemRoutingBOM.ItemRevID, tblItem.ItemID, tblItem.PartNum, tblItem.ItemName, tblItem.ManufacturerPartNum AS [Mfg Part#], tblItemRoutingBOM.Quantity
FROM tblItemRouting
INNER JOIN tblItemRoutingBOM ON tblItemRouting.ItemRoutingID = tblItemRoutingBOM.ItemRoutingID
INNER JOIN tblItem ON tblItemRoutingBOM.ItemID = tblItem.ItemID
WHERE tblItemRoutingBOM.ItemRevID in (61,70)
as you can see i am returning two records using the where clause
ItemRevID, ItemID, PartNum, ItemName, Manufacturer, Mfg Part#, Quantity
61,121,331503,.233 Aluminum Sheet,,1
70,121,331503,.233 Aluminum Sheet,,3
now what i am looking for is to combine these two together into one row with the following added. two columns for each QTY, QTY1 = 1 and QTY2 = 3 with a third column added that is the difference between the two QTY Diff = 2
Any thoughts?

Here are the two statements that i want to combine, results for each are attached
SELECT tblItem.ItemID, Sum(tblItemRoutingBOM.Quantity) AS SumOfQuantity, tblItem.PartNum AS [Part #],
tblItem.ItemName, tblManufacturer.ManufacturerName AS Manufacturer, tblItem.ManufacturerPartNum AS [Mfg Part#]
FROM tblItemRouting
INNER JOIN tblItemRoutingBOM ON tblItemRouting.ItemRoutingID = tblItemRoutingBOM.ItemRoutingID
INNER JOIN tblItem ON tblItemRoutingBOM.ItemID = tblItem.ItemID
INNER JOIN tblUnits ON tblItem.UnitID = tblUnits.UnitID
LEFT JOIN tblManufacturer ON tblItem.ManufacturerID = tblManufacturer.ManufacturerID
WHERE tblItemRoutingBOM.ItemRevID=61
GROUP BY tblItem.ItemID,tblItem.PartNum,tblItem.ItemName,tblManufacturer.ManufacturerName,tblItem.ManufacturerPartNum

LEFT JOIN tblManufacturer ON tblItem.ManufacturerID = tblManufacturer.ManufacturerID
WHERE tblItemRoutingBOM.ItemRevID=70
GROUP BY tblItem.ItemID,tblItem.PartNum,tblItem.ItemName,tblManufacturer.ManufacturerName,tblItem.ManufacturerPartNum

121,3,331503,.233 Aluminum Sheet,NULL,
125,6,331504,Velvet Vinyl .008,NULL,
my returned result should combine above with two extra columns (two extra columns because i have two results to combine)
114, 11, 33, 22, 55002, Pepsi Blue Cap, NULL,
117, 5, 15, 10, 331501, Marigold Yellow For ABS, NULL

Columns go as such, ID, QTY1 (for 61), QTY2 (for 70), Diff (QTY1-QTY2), PartNum, ItemName, Mfg, Mfg Part#
IF the results from one of those two are empty then i would see something like this
114, 11, 0, 11, 55002, Pepsi Blue Cap, NULL,
117, 5, 0, 5, 331501, Marigold Yellow For ABS, NULL

125, 2, 0, 2, 331504, Velvet Vinyl .008, NULL

Showing navigation attributes in the same column of a query

Hi,
I would like to know if there is a way to define a query such that TWO navigation attributes that reference the same underlying characteristic can be displayed in the SAME column rather than TWO separate columns.
I will describe an example scenario to clarify the requirement. We are using a BI Content InfoCube (0COOM_C02) that has the navigation attributes 0COSTCENTER__0PROFIT_CTR and 0WBS_ELEMT__PROFIT_CTR activated. Both of these attributes reference the characteristic 0PROFIT_CTR. The InfoCube contains transaction data for Cost Centres and WBS Elements.
The requirement is to define a query that summarizes the data by profit centre. At the moment, in order to combine Cost Centre and WBS (Project) data in the same query by Profit Centre, both navigation attributes need to be selected, resulting in the following output:
0COSTCENTER__0PROFIT_CTR......0WBS_ELEMT__PROFIT_CTR......AMOUNT
PC01...............................................Not assigned...................................10,000
PC02...............................................Not assigned...................................20,000
PC03...............................................Not assigned...................................12,000
PC04...............................................Not assigned....................................2,000
Not Assigned....................................PC02..............................................5,000
Not Assigned....................................PC03..............................................8,000
Not Assigned....................................PC05..............................................30,000
Not Assigned....................................PC06..............................................50,000
However, the desired result is to display only one profit centre column using the two profit centre navigation attributes as shown below:
PROFIT CENTRE......AMOUNT
PC01..........................10,000
PC02..........................25,000
PC03..........................20,000
PC04............................2,000
PC05..........................30,000
PC06..........................50,000
Is there a way to achieve the above result using the two navigation attributes only, without having to add 0PROFIT_CTR as a characteristic to the InfoCube?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Mustafa.
