Using Report Filters

We have a summary report that groups two saved filters. The report references the two saved filters that have been grouped so it does not bring in the contents. When we navigate to a detail report which also contains the same grouped referenced filters the report ignores the filters and returns all options.
Questions:
Do referenced filters work ( carry over) when navigating ?
If not then do we have to use "apply contents" of the saved filter instead of referencing it ?
If we change the saved filter will it change all the reports that we used the "apply contents" in ?

Here is a brief explanation:
When you save a filter for future use, the purpose is to save time so you don't have to retype/reselect whatever it takes to build the filter.
When you use a saved filter, you have two options:
1) Apply the actual contents. What this does is it puts the filter into your request. Useful if you want the basic filter, but need to modify it a bit. "Applying the contents" leaves the original saved filter alone. The filter you copied is now embedded in your request.
2) "Reference the filter." This option only links to the saved filter, allowing you to see the contents, but not change anything. The advantage of this is that you only need to change to the saved filter and all requests that use this will have the change applied.
To answer your question, nothing is "carried over." If the detail request also has the "reference" to the save filter, it should filter as the master report does. Are you "drilling down" instead of navigating?

  • Use of Report Filters in a document to drive report content

    I have a webi document that contains two reports, a summary report and a detail report. These two reports run off the same query. The question is, if I add report filters (not query filters)  to the summary report, how can I dynamically refresh the detail report to use the same report filters, with out making the end user re-select the same report filters used in the summary report.
    For example = I have a document that has a summary report that counts patients by location, in the same document I also have a detail report which uses the same query as the summary report, but prints the individual patients at each location.
    I can add a report filter to the summary report, so I can filter on patients by *** code, which works great. But I would like the detail report to automatically pick up the report filter, so when I click on the detail report tab in my document, the detail report is also filtered on patient ***. I know that I can add the patient *** code report filter to the detail report and make the end user re-filter the detail report the same as the summary,  I am just trying to see if it is possible to do this automatically.
    So far have not found anyway to do this. I prefer not having to write two queries, one for summary and one detail if at all possible.

    Hi Christopher,
    If you select just one value and your users are able to type it in,
    not having to select it via a drop down box, you might get it to work using input controls.
    Create a new report variable (lets say for *** code) that will hold the selected value
    Just create it with ="" and then place it in the input variables as a single value entry field
    (note you have to select in the input controls now) an
    You can use the contents of this variable in a report filter on the detail report,
    you can add as many selection fields as you want, but you are not able to choose from a list of values...
    Good luck,
    Marianne

  • Unable to view Report Filters on Excel Services web part

    I have an Excel 2010 file with Pivot Charts. I want users to be able to select filters for the pivot charts to modify their chart/report as needed.
    This excel file with Pivot Charts is visualized using Excel Services Web Part on SharePoint 2010.
    My problem: The Pivot Chart Filters do not appear on SharePoint. They are available when the file is opened in Excel 2010.
    Is there a way to have chart/report filters show up on SharePoint (excel services web part)?

    As per the article below it seems that Pivot Chart Filtering is not available with Excel services. The article reads
    "PivotChart reports are not interactive when displayed in a browser. You cannot filter a PivotChart report directly, but if you interact
    with the PivotTable report that supplies data for the PivotChart report, the PivotChart report updates accordingly. This means if you filter the PivotTable report, the PivotChart report updates to show the filtered data set."
    Unsupported Features in Excel Services
    Though this article is for MOSS 2007 but if you read the following article for SP 2010 it reads "All other unsupported features continue
    to behave as they do in Office SharePoint Server 2007 for Excel Services."

  • Deskjet 3050 J610 Wireless Setup Problem - Thinks I'm using MAC filtering

    I just got an HP Deskjet 3050 J610 from my parents, who have never used it.  The ink cartridges were still in their wrappers.  Trying to set it up tonight, and everything was going well until I tried connecting it to the wireless network.
    My router does not have WPS, so I'm having to do this via USB.  The software is able to detect my router's SSID, encryption type, and password.  However, when trying to connect the printer to the router, it fails.  The Wireless Network Test Report claims that it might be because of MAC address filtering.  I double checked my router settings, and I am NOT using MAC filtering at all.  I have not yet tried rebooting everything (Printer, laptop, router), but I am doubtful that will resolve the issue.  For security reasons, I would prefer not to say what security I'm using, but I will say that it IS supported by the printer.
    I'm using Windows 7 on an Asus laptop, and my ISP is Verizon Fios.

    Hi Manjunath, I spent the last hour on that site.  Everything I found was about how to add the printer's MAC address to the router's filter settings.  But I repeat, I am NOT using MAC filtering on my router, but the printer thinks I am.
    Or rather... THOUGHT I was.
    Rebooting the printer and the router helped.  Of course, I did both at the same time, so I'm not sure which one was required, or both, but the long and the short of it is, it works now.

    Hi,
    It worked for me, I dont for your case.
    Mine syptom:
    When filtering by using the context menu's "keep filter"  and then filter by using a "Hierarchy Web Item" (based on Calendar month),
    then I was getting the message <i>"System error in program CL_RSR_WWW_RENDERER and form SUBMIT_FILTER"</i>
    It is solved by adding a "Filter Web Item" to display the filter values. If you dont want that object in your report, you can hide it.

  • Clearing Interactive Report filters without clearing report settings

    APEX 4.0
    Oracle 10g
    I have an IRR, the report is saved as primary for displaying 200 rows at at time for each page (Page 3) The customer can filter upon many columns and can use mutliple filters through the Action -> Filter Column.
    Our requirement is:
    1. To clear all filters on the iR page with a button
    2. To clear previously visited Page 3 filters when this page is displayed again
    The closest option I have found is utilizing the "apex_util.ir_clear(p_page_id => 3)". Besides clearing the filters (which is what I want, it also resets the rows per page count of the IRR to 15.
    I need a way to prevent and keep the Saved IRR with rows per page set to 200.
    Any suggestion would be appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Ed.

    Does this help?
    http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17556_01/doc/user.40/e15517/app_comp.htm#BABEJEBJ
    I would look at using the URL to clear the IR and then to reset the number of rows (this is just a guess because I don't see it documented at the above link) I would use your typical session state substitution that you would do in a URL or page branch to reset the value of page item "apexir_NUM_ROWS" (it appears that Apex generates that select list with a HTML ID of "apexir_NUM_ROWS") to &apexir_NUM_ROWS. So hopefully that'll clear your page but then reset the number of rows to whatever it was.
    All just a guess but give it a try.

  • Division calculation using different filters in OBIEE 11g

    Hello,
    I have a requirement where I want to calculate division of same column using different filters in one report.
    e.g. No. of Units (Where Active flag='A')/No. of units (Where Active flag='I').
    I am using OBIEE 11g.
    Thanks.

    Try this:
    ((case when Active flag='A' then No. of Units end)*1.0)/
    (case when Active flag='I' then No. of Units end)
    It would nice if you create a new metric based on physical expression using rpd. If possible try to create it so that you can have aggregation after the calculation.
    If helps pls mak as correct/helpful

  • Strange issue with Multi-Table LTS and report filters (10g)

    Hi,
    I am having some troubles with the following scenario:
    I have a large flattened table that is being used as both Fact and Dimension in the BMM layer. I also have another table that contains some supplementary measures needed by some reports.
    Logical Fact table has an LTS that consists of the 2 tables which are joined on 2 columns (eg, a.col1 = b.col1 and a.col2 = b.col2, etc). The columns used in the join also exist in the logical dimension which uses the same flattened table. I use these columns in my report filters.
    I have created some Fact measures, some from each source inside the LTS.
    What's happening is that when I am using this model in Answers, the query being generated is applying my filtering conditions to both tables, which seems unnecessary to me since they are joined on these columns.
    i.e.,
    select *
    from table1 a, table2 b
    where a.col1 = b.col1
    and a.col2 = b.col2
    and a.col1 = 'Value 1'
    and a.col2 = 'Value 2'
    and b.col1 = 'Value 1'
    and b.col1 = 'Value 2'
    The last two lines in the query above should not be happening. I have not mapped these columns anywhere in the BMM to table2 (other than physical layer join), only to table1.
    For clarification, it's not hurting the end results from what I've seen, but it is adding additional filtering to the query that can increase overall cost, which I'm trying to avoid.
    Any ideas/suggestions?
    Thanks
    Edited by: odinsride on Jan 31, 2012 5:03 PM

    Hi,
    I think this is a known issue. I think that the BI Server pulls in both the tables involved in the LTS for any query (Yes, even if the query has only one column from any of the tables in LTS) and so are the filters.
    In this case, what I would suggest you is to create 2 LTS (probably 3). One for each physical table (that are being joined in the LTS) and one for both of them joined (may be inner/left/right) etc.
    With this kind of setup, when there are reports for any particular column of this logical table, the BI Server can go and choose the corresponding LTS only. However, if there is a report with columns from both the tables, the BI Server would choose the LTS with the join.
    Hope this helps.
    Thank you,
    Dhar

  • Reuse Interactive Report Filtering components

    Hi everyone! I wanted to create a change notification application with APEX. I'm planning to use the Interactive Report to enable the users build their own saved query using the filtering function of IR. I will provide an option for the user to subscribe (via email) for every query they want when their conditions has been met due to data change in the future. (ex. the user is waiting for some material delivery. This application will alert the user when it became available.)
    I want to use the filtering components from the Interactive Report (column selection, automatic operator availability based on column data type and the expressions box) for query building. Is this possible? Or if not, can I at least retrieve the "SQL WHERE clause" behind the Filter?
    Any ideas for this type of application? Thanks in advance!

    I've found it! I could get the SQL for the filters by using the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND APEX view. I'm still not sure about the multiple user situation. But all the filter information are there! Great!
    APEX is magnificent! And I'm such a newbie.
    Thanks!

  • Regular Expression functions not supported in Interactive report filters ??

    I'm using APEX 4.0.2 and I'm trying to create a row filter in an interactive report which uses regexp_instr and regexp_replace functions and I'm getting the message:
    Invalid filter expression. regexp_instr
    The code runs fine in SQL Workshop
    select cytogenetics from z_patient
    where regexp_instr(regexp_replace(cytogenetics,'(\,+|\"+|\s)',''),'(^46XX$|^46XY$|^46XX\[..\]$|^46XY\[..\]$)')=1
    CYTOGENETICS
    "46,XX [20]"
    "46,XY[20]"
    "46,XX"
    "46,XY[20]"
    "46,XY[30]"
    "46,XY[26]"
    "46,XY [33]"
    "46,XX[32]
    etc...
    my filter is just the where clause above i.e.
    regexp_instr(regexp_replace(cytogenetics,'(\,+|\"+|\s)',''),'(^46XX$|^46XY$|^46XX\[..\]$|^46XY\[..\]$)')=1
    *Are regular expression functions just not supported in interactive report filters?*
    thanks in advance
    Paul P

    Hi Paul,
    regular expression functions are supported in interactive report filters, but it looks like that REGEXP_INSTR hasn't been added as valid command. Only REGEXP_SUBSTR and REGEXP_REPLACE are valid commands for computation expressions and REGEXP_SUBSTR, REGEXP_REPLACE and REGEXP_LIKE for row level filters.
    I have filed bug# 12926266 to fix this issue. Sorry for the inconvenience.

  • Report Filters & Hierarchies

    Hi Guys,
    We are migrating from BO 5.x to BO Xi R3.
    Some of our existing 5.x reports have report level filters.
    When we select any of the filter values the other filter objects are automatically changes either forward or backward compatible.
    Example table:
    Country      ;;                   State     ;;                     City       ;;                   Address
    India        ;;           Karnataka     ;;                     Bangalore       ;;                   Arthur Road
    USA     ;;                     Florida     ;;                     Jacksonville       ;;                   Arthur Road
    India     ;;                     Karnataka     ;;                     Bangalore       ;;                   G.C Road
    India     ;;                     AP     ;;       Hyderabad    ;;                   M.G Road
    Canada     ;;                     Ontari     ;;                     Toronto        ;;                  Arthur Road
    +Note:+ none of these objects are placed in an order in the BO 5.x universe. They are all mixed and belong to different classes and no custom hierarchy is defined.
    The method filters work in BO 5.x is that the prompt values are filtered both forward and backward when we select a value in any of the prompts
    Scenario 1:
    Select Country as "India". The values in report prompts will be
    Country     ;;State;;     City;;     Address
    India;;     Karnataka;;     Bangalore;;     Arthur Road
    ;;     ;;     ;;     G.C Road
    ;;     AP;;     Hyderabad;;     M.G Road
    Scenario 2:
    Select Country as "USA"
    Country     ;;State;;     City;;     Address
    USA;;     Florida;;     Jacksonville     ;;Arthur Road
    Scenario 3:
    Select Country as "Canada"
    Country;;        State;;     City;;     Address
    Canada     ;;Ontari;;     Toronto;;     Arthur Road
    Scenario 4:
    Now for backward compatibility. Select Address as "Arthur Road"
    Country     ;;State;;     City;;     Address
    India;;     Karnataka;;     Bangalore;;     Arthur Road
    USA;;     Florida;;     Jacksonville     ;;
    Canada;;     Ontari;;     Toronto     ;;
    Scenario 5:
    Select a report filter in the middle like City "Bangalore"
    Country     ;;State;;     City;;     Address
    India;;     Karnataka;;     Bangalore;;     Arthur Road
         ;;     ;;     ;;G.C Road
    Scenario 6:
    Select Address "M.G Road"
    Country     ;;State     ;;City     ;;Address
    India     ;;AP;;     Hyderabad;;     M.G Road
    The report filters when placed or used in the BO XI R3 report after migration does not work the same way as in BO 5.x.
    Not sure what the reason could be.
    Have checked the universe and there are no changed between the BO 5.x and BO R3 universes.
    I cannot go for custom hierarchies as there are reports which use these objects from different classes and there are too many permutations and combinations to consider.
    I would like to know whether the forward compatibility can be achieved without using custom hierarchies and does BO R3 support backward (i.e start from address and get the other values)and intermediate (start with city and drill both forward and backward) compatibility

    You will find a few instances of different behaviour across 5, 6.5 and XIr2/3.
    Another is with the behaviour of what are now called merged dimensions. They now work how I want them to.
    Anyway, back to your problem - as far as I have seen, you have to fully qualify Arthur Road in terms of it's ownership.
