Urgent- How to Default Current Months First Date in a Dashboard Prompt

We have requirement that whenever our user clicks on a dashboard it should show the report associated with the dashboard defaulted to MTD.
For example if the user is running the dashboard on 16th Jan then the report associated with dashboard by default should show data from 1st Jan to 16 Jan.
And then latter user should be able to select the dates of his choice in dashboard prompt and the report should show data according to selected date.
Please send some clues or work around for this issue.

Regarding Question 2:
What you need to have is a Dashboard scope dashboard prompt for Product_ID (i.e., Don't use the column prompt from the prompt tab within the Request.)
1) Create the dashboard prompt, put it on tab1 and save the prompt to a presentation variable, say prmtProdID. Set the scope to "dashboard." (This is the default, by the way.) If you create a dashboard prompt and set the scope to "dashboard," then the prompt values selected will hold true across dashboard pages.
2) On tab2, go to your report and in Criteria mode, apply a filter to the Product_ID column making it equal to the PV. (Click the filter icon, Add>Variable>Presentation Variable and type prmtProdID. Save.)
When the user selects a Product_ID on tab1 of your dashboard and hits "Go," not only will it filter your report on tab1, when you go to tab2 the report here will be filtered with the same value selected in the prompt on tab2.
Regarding Question 3:
If you implement 2, you cannot implement 3. You can't have it both ways. Not for the same scenario. But if you want to know how to do it in general, read this:

Hello,
You can schedule an operating system task (Control Panel -> Schedule task) to either call a batch file or a PowerShell script.

How to get current time and date??

How to get current time and date from my PC time and date to the java application??
i use java.util.* package but got error, that is:
- java.util.* and java.sql.* class are match
- abstract class cannot be instantiated
so what can i do, pls guide...thanks...

There is a method in the System class that will return the current system time. You could also instantiate a Date, Time, Timestamp, or Calendar object, all of which get created with the system time by default.
Don't import *. Import the specific classes you need.
Next time, post the actual text of the exceptions/compile errors. If you make people guess, most just won't bother.

Report carry forwarding the current month 2weeks data to next month

Hi experts,
Issue statement:
XXXXX Procurement reports in MSTR (MRP Adhoc report) is showing weeks out of order, the last 2 weeks of a current month are carried over to the first two weeks of the next month (ie, working week 33-ww34 from August are repeated as the first 2 weeks of September, therefore September will have 7 weeks, ww33 to ww39), this happens month over month, this issue is probably making the EOH calculation to be wrong and most likely any other calculations. Materilas need this report to place PO's based on inventory levels and so far the data is not trustable and wrong. Need this to be fixed asap. Thanks a lot.
we running the process chain the Job set to clear every 2 weeks data, could you plz let me know why it geting current month 2weeks data to next month.

thanks

Try with evaluate function in prompt Fx use the following syntax
Re: Date function
Else, EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHARACTER ( 30 ), Date."Calendar Date", 'MON-YYYY')
What you are expecting to be in Prompt was it Mon-2009 right"?

OBIEE - How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt?

Hello! I need some help with OBIEE dashboard Prompts. Any help will be highly appreciated!
Question 1. How to selectively hide or disable columns on a dashboard prompt or the entire prompt? There seems to be no "hide" or "dsable" options on
prompts.
Question 2. How to synchronize 2 different prompts on the same dashboard?
The application is this: There are total of 2 tabs on a dashboard ("tab_1" and "tab_2"). Each tab uses different prompts ("pr_1" and "pr_2"), having just one first drop down column in common ("Product_id").
The desired functionality is this: user selects "Product_id" on the first tab's prompt, which filters its reports (on "Go") and also propagates to the second tab. When user clicks on the second tab, the reports there are already filtered (or begin filtering) by "product_id", selected on the first tab.
Question 3. How to prevent the reports from retrieving when switching to a different tab on a dshboard? Specifying dummy default values in the prompt does
not seem to preven reports from retrieving, which still takes time.
Thank you very much!
Roger

Regarding Question 2:
What you need to have is a Dashboard scope dashboard prompt for Product_ID (i.e., Don't use the column prompt from the prompt tab within the Request.)

Changing Date Format in Dashboard prompt drop down list

Hi friends, my dashboard shows a drop down list for dates , which are in format "7/1/2008 12:00:00 AM".
This is defined datetime datatype in sql server. Is there any way to change the date format in dashboard prompt to just "7/1/2008" without doing it in database side.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks and regards

Hi... Toony
In Dashboard Prompt, you have option to select i.e. show SQL,
there you write the Logical SQL or Advanced SQL: <em>select cast("timestampCOLUMN" as date) from "PresentationLayerName"</em>
this is simple way without changing anything in rpd side...
And if you want the timestamp column somewhere in some reports you can use that column directly.
If you don't want you need to cast it as DATE.
If your question was answered then put it as answered and mark it as correct... ;)

what datasource do you have? Is it SAP BW or something else?

Current week/current Month/YTD data based on user response

Hi
I have one attribute request_created_date
Based on this i want to create one more attribute which will have lovs as week(Request_created_date for current week),monthly(Request_created_date for current week),
YTD(Request_created_date for current year to date).
Now i want to use this new attribute (Having LOV as week/Month/YTD) as a report prompt so that user itself can select whether he wants to see
week/month/YTD data in report.
To Add to this :
Req is something like this if user select week , Req_created_dates should be filtered for all the dates of cureent week.
Req is something like this if user select month , Req_created_dates should be filtered for all the dates of cureent month.
Req is something like this if user select Year , Req_created_dates should be filtered for all the dates of cureent year.
How can i achieve this?

Add One variable
Time_Data ="Weekly"
Create Input control (Radio Button)
Use Custom LOVs (Add Weekly , Monthly , Yearly ).
Set Default (Weekly).
Now Create Another Variable
User_Want = ReportFilter([Time_Data])
Now filter your Report for week , Month or Year (as per Selection) using If else Statement .
For eg.
For Week
[Created_Date] Between RelativeDate(CurrenDate();-7) And CurrentDate()
For Month
(Year([Created_Date]) = Year(CurrentDate()) And Month([Created_Date]) = Month(CurrentDate()))
For Year
(Year([Created_Date]) = Year(CurrentDate())

How to get current month from BI 7

Dear Expert,
I am working on a BI 7 report and I need to restrict a key figure using the current month and previous month.
Could you help me to find out how to do so?
Thank you very much!
Arthur

if you want to make 2 diff rest key figures.
check if you have current month variable under cal.month , if not create a variable( single, not range ) for current month
and make a new selection take key fig and rest with current month.
and make a new selection and take the key fig and restrict with current month variable keep off set as -1
if you want to make only one restricted key fig which shows both current and previous then.
create a variable as range and write a exit code from sy-datum ( take month and year ) as the high value and substract one and make it as low value.
Hope this helps

How to find current month, previous month Net Sales by means of formula?

Hello Gurus,
I need my crystal report to display data as below:-
                                        Net Sales
PG1         Current month      Previous Month     Prior year-month    %Variance

Can anyone kindly suggest formula for generating these values?
I have already formulated current, previous, prior year months' start dates and end dates.
Further details:-
Data filters are requested for Company-->Region-->Customergroup-->All Product group
Datasource is Universe
Reporting for 2 years data
Your suggestions and help will be much appreciate.
Thanks,
Prarthana

hi Prarthana,
there are a couple of different ways of doing this...one way is to create formulae similar to below...
1) formula for current month sales
if month({your date field}) = month(currentdate)
and year({your date field}) = year({your date field})
then {your sales field}
2) formula for previous month sales
if month({your date field}) = month(dateadd("m", -1, currentdate))
and year({your date field}) = year(dateadd("m", -1, currentdate))
then {your sales field}
3) formula for 2 months ago
if month({your date field}) = month(dateadd("m", -2, currentdate))
and year({your date field}) = year(dateadd("m", -2, currentdate))
then {your sales field}
put those formulas on your details sections and then right click on them and choose Insert > Summary and choose Sum as the summary type and change the Summary Location to match the appropriate groups.
cheers,
jamie
