Cannot find specific date through Prompt

Supergluey

Hi All. Beginning User here for OBIEE.

I have problem right now where I am just playing with a table with dates (ex. 04/23/2016)

I have created a prompt where user selects a date and press ok and be presented with the data.

If i don't select and just press ok, it will display all the data.

In the dataset, let's say there is a date 02/20/2016, if I input the date through the prompt, it said there are no results.

However clearly there is because if I don't input the value, u can see the data!!!

The operator I used is / equal to, if I used other operators it will work.

This is a single header table and I been told I have to edit the SQL, but I'm kinda new to this and don't know where to put it or how to configured it.

Can anyone please help???

Thanks.

Hi,

It will be easier if you just put a couple of screenshot of what you're trying to do. Your description isn't very clear (at least, not for me).

Just put some images of your prompt and your report and that way it'll be easier for you to get an answer.

Supergluey

Okay sure,

The picture below is the result of the table I have selected.

I have configured a prompt for it, with the operator for "equal" as shown below.

So Using one of the dates from the first picture, I inputted into the prompt as shown below.

Supposedly, it should only show that data.

However, it gives me that no result can be found.

How is it possible? If it is shown when I don't input any date but not shown when I put in the date.

Therefore, I would want to know how I could configure it to show the dates I inputted in the result.

I have thought it was a format issue as it will put a 0 in front of the date while searching, but even after changing the format, it still resulted in the same problem.

As said, it is a single header table, so its not an issue between display value and code value.

Thanks

Hi 3227388,

can you please select any value from this prompt and paste the SQL generated for the report? It will help us to identify what value this prompt is passing to the report?

Kind Regards,

Dear Sagar,

Thanks for your reply.

The SQL below is if i don't input anything, and just press OK.

SELECT

0 s_0,

"Business Area : VALID IV EUC"."Ucdpmt"."Txn date" s_1

FROM "Business Area : VALID IV EUC"

ORDER BY 2 ASC NULLS LAST

FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY

If I press a value, it would give me the no result message. I am not sure if you mean the SQL like that.

Please Help.

I mean Physical SQL

Supergluey

Dear Sagar,

Thanks for your reply.

I don't know what you mean by Physical SQL.

I did a search and found this in the log.

SET VARIABLE SAW_SRC_PATH='/shared/COMMON/UCDPMT';SELECT

0 s_0,

"VALID V EUC"."Ucdpmt"."Height from dimension" s_1,

"VALID V EUC"."Ucdpmt"."Height to dimension" s_2,

"VALID V EUC"."Ucdpmt"."Txn date" s_6,

"VALID V EUC"."Ucdpmt"."Weight dimension" s_8,

"VALID V EUC"."Ucdpmt"."Width from dimension" s_9,

"VALID V EUC"."Ucdpmt"."Width to dimension" s_10

FROM "VALID V EUC"

ORDER BY 8 ASC NULLS LAST, 7 ASC NULLS LAST, 4 ASC NULLS LAST, 5 ASC NULLS LAST, 6 ASC NULLS LAST, 10 ASC NULLS LAST, 11 ASC NULLS LAST, 2 ASC NULLS LAST, 3 ASC NULLS LAST, 9 ASC NULLS LAST

FETCH FIRST 65001 ROWS ONLY

Do you mean like this?

If not , can you please tell me how to generate the Physical SQL?

Thanks

This one is Logical SQL.

Physical SQL would be like this,

Any Ideas?

Thomas Dodds

could be data types ... or the formatting of the date ... looks like your data has year as YY and prompt has YYYY ... if it is doing a text based comparison - then YY != YYYY ...
