OBIEE Analysis SQL Statement

Temoryian

Hello,

First some background - I'm converting Hyperion reports to analyses in the presentation layer of OBIEE 12.2.1.2.0.  I do not have access to anything except the presentation layer.

I'm wondering if something like the below SQL example statement can be used anywhere in the presentation layer of OBIEE:

TABLE.COLUMN =

        (SELECT MAX(xx.EFFDT) FROM TABLE.COLUMN xx

        WHERE TABLE.COLUMN_ID = xx.COLUMN_ID

          AND xx.EFFDT <= to_date('09012019','mmddyyyy'))

     AND TABLE.EFF_STATUS = 'A'

I know that I am able to turn a filter into an "Advanced SQL Filter" that allows me to enter a custom where clause but I need to issue a select statement.  If possible I'd also like to be able to set the to_date as a variable so an end user could define a value there.  I also know that in the "Advanced Tab" there is an area to enter "Advanced SQL Clauses".  I don't have the right permission to make changes here but if I could would I be able to issue the statement above and set a variable?  Can this task be completed in the presentation layer and if so where should something like this be completed?  If not in the presentation layer can/should this be completed in one of the other layers? 

Thanks for your time!

THIS statement alone makes the whole rest of your question 100% pointless and not worth the time you spent writing it. Because that's simply not how the platform works at all.

More clarification - My institution used Hyperion for reporting purposes.  I'm trying to mimic queries/reports built in Hyperion as OBI analyses.  Converting might have been the wrong word there but that is what I'm trying to accomplish.

It's not the word "converting".

It's "I do not have access to anything except the presentation layer"

Sorry to be blunt but pretty much a sign of the fact that the platform hasn't been understood in the slightest - by your org / whoever took that decision, not by you.

Agreeing with Mr Berg ... this is a failure waiting to happen.

Seems to me that it's happening already. Even after 18 years my mind still boggles at how efficient companies are at destroying things.
