How to pass Presentation Variable Value from Main Report to Detail Report

Hello,
I've 2 reports that is attached to each other. In my main report i've several report prompts and i am using i"s prompted" on my detail report to attach them.
But 2 of my report prompts are presentation variables(Names : FIRST, SECOND). Both are in date format. I've a filter in my main report like;
"ASSIGNMENTS_F"."EFFECTIVE_START_DATE" BETWEEN @{FIRST} AND {SECOND}
It works fine when i run the main report. But when i click on the numbers, i see that i can not filter my detail report with the chosen values for 2 presentation variables. It just shows all the dates.
I've tried adding both presentation variables in both reports as columns and adding 'is prompted' filter to them. But did not work either.
I just cant pass the written values for presentation variable prompts to detail report..
Please help :)

Hi,
What you can try is refer the filte condition in the main report to the detailed report with the option--> Filter based on another request.
Or you try creating another intermediate report which will refer the main report filters and pass the filters to the detailed report.
Hope this helps.

RRI - Jump query, unable to pass the variable value from source to target

Hi,
I've a source query which has a variable on 0vendor, from this query i jump to another query for which i want to pass the this variable value, in the target query i've vendor in free characteristics (no filter or variable in there), and in RSBBS i tried the assignment details options keeping vendor as generic, tried variable and the variable name but nothing seem to work.
But when query is run i can jump into target query but the vendor variable value doesnt get passed thru the values i get in target query is for all rather than for the variable entered vendor value in the source.
btw we're in NW2004s.
any help appreciated with points.
thanks
Mayil

Anyways, I read somewhere that a variable with replacement path in target query would work, tried it seem to work.
let me know if there other way to do it without creating a variable in target query.
thanks

Presentation Variable Value not passing when used in Column Formula.

Hello Gurus:
Please help me with my requirement.
We are trying to show a data backout in report, for example.
For a Product Group Code of 2435 which belongs to Report Line C059 has a Sales Amount of $4,266.90 and in report we want the same Sales Amount of $4,266.90 to be shown as -$4,266.90 (Negative) under a Report Line C080.
So in a report there should be same Sales Dollars as Positive for C059 (from Source) and Negative Sales Amount for C080 (Condition to be applied in Report).
Solution I Tried
I tried to create a Presentation Variable (SQL- Which would fetch me Sales Dollars for Product Group Code 2453) which returns with $4266.90 and then applied it in Answers in Logic (Case when Report Line = C080 then @{Presentation Variable}*-1 Else Sales Dollars END).
Issue I am facing:
Presentation Variable is coming as 0 and if i give any Format (Default Value) it shows the same default value in report. I checked the SQL i used and even when I Preview the Variable its showing me $4,266.90, but not in report.
Please let me know a way to get this Presentation Variable value into my reports.
Also please let me know if i can achieve this requirement in any other way.

Thanks for your reply Paul. But there is no Invoiced Amount for Report Line - 'C080' from source. Invoiced amount of C059 should show as -ve Invoiced amount for CO80.
In a report C059 should show +ve Sales Dollars and C080 should show same amount as -Ve Sales Dollars.

How to pass presentation variable with enclosing single quotes

HI All,
As all of you know in 11g, Presentation variable can hold more than one value.So we can pass multiple values to the report through presentation variable.
If we select x,y,z values from prompt drop down,then those values will be stored like x,y,z in the presentation variable.
but I would like to store these values with enclosing single quotes like 'x,y,z'
The reason is I need to pass this variable value as input to BI Publisher sql dataset query where clause.
Please share your Ideas.
Thanks,
Aravind

Presentation Variable value to Drill report OBIEE 11g

Hi ,
We have a requirement to use Parent report prompt value in the drill report. So we have used presentation variable to pass the value.
Issue is when we go to drill report its not showing actual presentation variable value, its giving some other value( eg: we have two values to be passed to presentation variable 'Yes' and 'No' , even though we have selected 'Yes' in the prompt the drill report is showing results for 'No' but when we refresh the drill report its showing exactly as prompt selection.)
And we are using Advanced Sql filter to filter the records .
In 10g it has worked fine but in 11g we are having the issue.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Raju

Fyi.. We are using action links for drill down.

Passing Presentation Variables to Guided Navigation

I'm having trouble passing Presentation Variables (and Session Variables) to analyses called via a Guided Navigation link in 11.1.1.5.
1. Created a dashboard prompt to select from a list of months. The prompt populates a Presentation Variable called pMo.
2. Created an analysis that displays two columns: Month and '{pMo}'
3. That analysis has this filter: Month is equal to / is in {pMo}
4. Put the dashboard prompt and the analysis onto a dashboard page.
5. Put an Action Link onto the dashboard page, calling that same analysis in a new window.
6. View the dashboard page
7. Initial analysis displays an error, which is expected since pMo has no value.
8. Select a month, which populates pMo. Analysis displays properly. Month and pMo both show correctly.
9. Click the Action Link.
10. The new window shows the correct value of Month, but NOTHING in the pMo column.
This is not logical. If the correct value of Month is shown in the new window, that means that Month MUST have been filtered using pMo. But the pMo column shows blank.
I see the exact same behavior with Session Variables. The value of the variable is correctly used to filter the analysis, but that variable's value doesn't show up in the analysis column.
In fact, if I assign a default value for the variable, the Month column shows the "correct" (i.e. selected) value, but the column containing the formula for the variable shows the variable's default value, not the value that was obviously used by the filter.
The problem only occurs in the new window that appears with the Guided Navigation link. The original dashbord page shows correctly.
Here's the error when using a Session variable. Similar error when using Presentation variable.
Error getting drill information: SELECT "Channels"."Total Channel" saw_0, "Times"."Month" saw_1, VALUEOF(NQ_SESSION.Mo) saw_2 FROM "Retrospectives" WHERE "Times"."Month" = 'Mar-2005'

So, if NQ_SESSION.Mo has no value, how did the Filter know that Mar-2005 should be used? NQ_SESSION.Mo DOES have a value. Why won't the column display it?
By the way, in case you're wondering 'what's the big deal', it's this: I want to be able to type a Commission Percent into a text box, store it in a variable, and then use that variable in a calculation within a Guided Nav link. That's what I was originally testing. The description above is what I finally figured out is happening. The variable has a value that can be used as a filter condition, but that value is ignored when used in the columns of that filtered analysis.

Edited by: Mark T. on Jan 7, 2012 7:15 AMI don't have 11g so what I say may not apply to you at all. That being said, it appears that what you are describing is similar to how the Link or Image and Guided Nav. objects work in 10g. Bear with me for a sescond while I explain. In the Link or Image object, you can open a destination report in a new window, but PVs don't pass through. In the Guid. Nav. object, PVs pass through to the destination, but you don't have the option to open the report in a new window. The filtering works, which is why your destination report is properly filtered; it's just that the PV is not passed and therefor the pMo column is blank.
Since you said your destination report opens in a new window, it is acting like the Link or Image object in 10g. So try doing this:
1) Ensure that your dashboard prompt is set to "dashboard" scope. This being that the PVs with the same name will be set for all dashboard pages, once set in the parent page.
2) Create a new dashboard page and include the same prompt as in the parent page, and your destination report. Hide the prompt on this page.
3) Now in your Action Link of the parent report, instead of pointing to the report itself, point it to the dashboard page created in step 2).
My theory is this: With the dashboard prompt set to dashboard scope, the PV of the prompt in the destination page will be set as soon as you hit the "Go" button. This will allow the report in the destination page to be set by the same variable, even though the value is not passed on directly through the Action Link.

How to retain the presentation variable values for Dashboard Prompt

I've a dashboard prompt with date and two other drop down field, with default value as yesterday's date set for date and All Values set for other two drop down list. Presentation Variables are D1, P1 and P2 respectivilly
I'm using GO URL from "Report A" and passing presentation variable to navigate to other report (Report B) that works fine. eg:
'<a href = saw.dll?GO&path=/shared/Reports/ABC/ReportB&Action=Navigate&p0=1&p1=eq&p2="-%20Time"."Next%20Day"&p3=@{d1}>Test</a>'
From Report B I'm using Dashoard URL to go back to Previous Report like:
<div class="XUIPromptEntry minibuttonOn">
Return to Previous Screen</div>
This also works fine.
My problem is that, when users selects different values in the Main dashboard prompt for date and other other two drop down and navigates to other report (Report B), and from Report B, when user returns to previous screen (Main Dashboard), Prompts values gets refreshed to original default values.
Is there any way to retain the values of presentation variable in dashboard Prompt when I return to main dashboard from Report B?
I'd appreciate your help.
Thanks

Change your dashboard url include the column and column value for the date column sample shown below,
[a href=saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/sample/_portal&page=pagename&Action=Navigate&col1=Dim.Date&val1=@1>Return to Previous Screen[/a>
In my second report Date is the first column so I referenced it's value as @1 in the dashboard URL
note: replace [ with <

Between-Filter on Column using calculated presentation-variable values

Hello everyone,
i'd like to know whether it is possible to filter a column with a Between-Statement using two calculations done on a single presentation variable in Oracle BI Answers
What i have:
- OBIEE 10g
A line-chart, which shows earnings over a period of several years: In 1999 it might be 100.000€, in 2000 it might be 80.000€,..., in 2009 it might be 95.000€ and so on.
What i want:
Now i'd like to create a dashboard prompt to be able to choose a certain year, for example 2006.
The chart then should show data for the year given (2006...) and two years before(2004, 2005) and two years after the chosen year(2007,2008).
Example:
If 2006 is chosen, then data from 2004 to 2008 should be shown in the chart
If 2000 is chosen, then data from 1998 to 2002 should be shown in the chart.
What i did:
- I created the Prompt, set its presentation variable to var_year.
- I then created a filter on my years-column, choosing "Between" from the DropDown-List.
- I added two 'Variable-fields within the filter-dialogue', each filled with var_year and a default value.
- I tried to add a +2 or -2 to the variable-expression field, but (ofcourse) got an error.
Thanks in Advance and greetings from Germany,
Chris

Sorry for not answering to your Posts yesterday.
I have to admit that i was unable to solve my problem, although the solutions posted, seemed to be quite promising.
Hammett81's solution
First, I gave Hammett81's solution a try and created a filter group using the 'Add filter' option/dialogue box.
This Filtergroup consists of 5 single filter expressions, which have been connected by ORs:
The way i created those filters:
In the 'Create/ Edit Filter' i've chosen 'is equal/ is in' - Operator.
Then i was given the chance to add a 'value' or to add 'Variable --> Presentation', which summons 2 textboxes (Variable Expression and Default)
Everything i put into the variable expression field will be put into the @{} bracket by OBIEE, after clicking ok.
So it is not possible to use +1, +2, -1,-2 etc. within this field, as this would lead to @{var_year +2} for example, which ofcourse does not match the presentation variable's name.
On the other hand, if i do not use a Variable Expression but a "Value field", then i can write @{var_year} +2 for example.
In my opinion, obiee wants to use the expression as a simple value though, rather than use it as a variable and therefore won't check the presentation variables value, when it tries to filter the data.
John's solution
Regarding Johns answer, i am not sure where to put the filter expression. Should this be added into the SQL-Query (Advanced-Tab) or do i have to add it within the columns formula? (fx)

Hi,
Like this you can pass presentation variables to the columns using Go URL
'<a href=saw.dll?Dashboard&PortalPath=/shared/Test/_portal/Test%20KPIs&Page=Page1&Action=Navigate&col1="Dim%20Country"."Country%20Name"&val1='||'@{PV_Contry'||'>'||'Country'||'<\a>'

Can we Pass two variable values in to one Varaible which is Cust Exit?

Hi all,
Can we pass two Variable values to a Variable which is Custexit?(For Example posting Period and the fiscalyear in to the FicalPeriod )
Regards
Kiran

Hello,
For that example you had to "convert" both post period and fiscalyear into fiscalperiod, and yes it is possible, but not throwing up the two values, you had to do it yourself in the user exit code.
