'Unspecified' value in the Prompt drop down

Hi All,
I am facing a very unusual issue in my report.
The 'Unspecified' value keeps showing up in the Prompt drop down even if doesn't really exist in the Database.
This 'Unspecified' value refers to the NULL value.
I have tried using a filter on that field with filter "is Not Null', but this does not seem to work either.
I am stuck.
Does any one have a solution to this?
Many Thanks,
-Roy

Try this simple thing:
for your prompt field in the design, select sql results under show option and write a query that SELECT field name FROM ... WHERE field name NOT NULL.
That's it, no need of filter in the report.

  • Values in the Prompt

    Hi
    The report prompt displays only the value for which the data is existing in the system as in: if status has value a,b,c,d,e and the records are only created for a,b,c then only these three appears in the prompt drop down . is there a way in wich all the data is displayed if the records are not created also?
    Kindly help us with this issue.
    Thank You

    There is no limit for multi select prompt.If your view is taking more time than you should tune that first.Make use of indexes on join condition columns in view query.If it is too urgent for you then you can create materialized view in database and can set refresh frequency for materialized view

  • I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. How can I fix this?

    I have created a PDF form with multiple drop downs, all with the same drop down values. When I select a value from 1 of the drop down fields, it replicates in all of the others - which I do not want. Can I fix this?

    I'm fairly new to this, but I think it has to do with the way you have the drop downs named. Did you copy one then keep pasting it in each field? If so, that is the problem. You should rename each one with a different number: Dropdown1, Dropdown2, etc. I think that might solve the issue.

  • Including "All column name " in the dashboard prompt drop down list

    Hi All,
    I have following requirement :
    1. Exclude the one of the column value from the drop-down list ( say exclude XYZ from client Name)
    2. Add a new “All Clients” to the Column drop-down list and make that the default. This choice will be as if the user went in and selected all of the Clients on the drop-down list.
    I am not able to achieve the second point of the requirement . Can anyone help me with this.
    Edited by: Surabhi24 on Jul 12, 2012 11:52 AM

    If i understand you right you are trying to change "All column values" to "All clients" and you can do that in
    Global filter changes file
    oracle_BI1\bifoundation\web\msgdb\l_en\messages\globalfiltermessages.xml.

    Hi
    According to your description, since this is SQL Server forum, as Olaf Helper’s post, could you get the correct result if you execute the following query in SQL Server Manager Studio (SSMS)?
    select UserName from aspnet_Users where UserId in(select FreindId from myFreinds where UserId in(select UserId from aspnet_Users where UserName = '<your typed name>'))
    If you cannot get the correct result in SSMS, I recommend to check the Transact-SQL statement. Apart from the error message, we also need to know the table structure, data, join relationships between tables for further analysis.
    However if there is no problem in SQL Server query, it will be an issue that regards ASP.NET and website deployment. I suggest you to post the question in the ASP.NET forums at
    http://forums.asp.net/ . It is appropriate and more experts will assist you.
    In addition, there is detail about listbox control in asp.net. You can review the following links:

  • Cond display of drop down based on value selected in another drop down form

    Hi,
    I have a requirement in my app in which I need to be able to conditionally display the values in the drop down down list based on the values selected in another drop down list...
    Currently I have 2 drop downs.
    First drop down is a list of Jacks from 2000 to 4999...
    Second Drop down consists Chassis ranging from 1 to 900..
    So when a user selects any jack between 2000 - 2999, in the second drop down only Chassis ranging from 1 to 300 should appear.
    when anything between 3000 - 3999 is selected, Chassis ranging from 301 to 600 should appear..
    and for jacks between 4000 - 4999, Chassis ranging from 601 to 900 should appear in the second drop down.
    Can someone please provide me pointers on how to do this..
    Thanks,
    Nehal

    Can you please let me know how to do it..

  • I use the google search bar for everything and since downloading FF4 i can not select any of the suggestions in the google drop down menu

    I use the google search bar for everything and since downloading FF4 i can not select any of the suggestions in the google drop down menu.
    I have tried to select one of the suggestions that google give me for my search but FF it wont let me. I have type everything out in full. I hate FF4 it is rubbish. I loved firefox before this one came out but now I am seriously thinking of going over to google chrome.

    Many thanks for the prompt reply, ideato.
    One of the reasons I abandoned Chrome in favour of Firefox was due to the "black band of doom" that appears on the top of the Google page - so setting up my homepage to google.co.uk just puts that back in the ugly spotlight.
    I was, though, pleasantly surprised to see a Google search bar on the Mozilla Firefox Start Page (without the black band and Google options that I am just not interested in) but bitterly disappointed that it is Google.fr (due to my ISP being French).
    I shall learn to live with Yahoo (or worse case scenario, Bing!)

  • I have a pornographic search title in the banner at he op of the page just below the bookmarks shortcuts icons. It appears when that part of the screen drops down a bit when the on screen keyboard opens up. Its a spam like link that won't go away.

    I have a pornographic search line on the top banner of Safari just under the bookmark icons that appears whenever I open up the onscreen keyboard and the top drops down a bit. Don't know where it came from the iPad is only one day old brand-new. I've tried getting rid of this by resetting the entire iPad but that didn't work. The link if I click it opens up a Google page listing links to see videos. Need to know if there's any way to make this thing go away permanently.

    You saved it on the bookmark bar. Hit bookmarks, bookmark bar, edit, then hit the minus to delete it.

  • My unsorted bookmarks folder does not appear in the bookmarks drop down menu.

    My unsorted bookmarks folder does not appear in the bookmarks drop down menu. I can only reach it though Organize Bookmarks function. How do I get it into the bookmarks tree?

  • How do I get back the functionality for the alphabetical drop down from my previous searches in the center Google search box of the Mozilla Firefox Start Page?

    In the afternoon of August 24 I lost a feature on my Mozilla Firefox Start Page and I cannot figure out how to get it back. It concerns the Google Search area in the MIDDLE of the page. Previously, when I would want to do a search, for example Amazon, I would type the letter 'A' and, because I had typed 'Amazon' in that Search box before, an alphabetical drop-down menu would come up with 'Amazon' in it. I could then click on that word without having to type the rest of it. That option is no longer working.
    I had done an Adobe Reader update that Friday morning, so I thought that might be why this happened,. I did a System Restore and took the system back to Tuesday, August 21. That did not help.
    I ran CCleaner and cleaned the Registry also. Interestingly enough, I found that right after I do that and then open a Mozilla Firefox Start Page, the alphabetical drop down function is back in the center Search bar for one time, one search. After that it is gone again. I go in and do just CCleaner (no Registry cleaning required) and the same thing happens...the functionality is there for one search only.
    I went in and made sure all my Add-ons/Plug-ins are up to date. I also ran a full system scan but no issues came up.
    I am computer illiterate, so please bear with me. I have no idea if any of the things I tried would have helped or not.
    I have Windows 7 and Firefox 15.0.1
    I appreciate any help you can provide.

    See also:
    *Tools > Options > Privacy > History: "Remember search and form history"
    *https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Form+autocomplete
    The "Use custom settings for history" setting allows to see the current history and cookie settings, but selecting that setting doesn't make any changes to history and cookie settings.<br />
    Firefox shows the "Use custom settings for history" setting as an indication that at least one of the history and cookie settings is not the default to make you aware that changes were made.<br />
    If all History settings are default then the custom settings are hidden and you see "Firefox will: (Never) Remember History".<br />

  • DSN's Missing in the ODBC drop down list box

    Being new to JDeveloper, I have been running through the

    down list box.
