Two prompts on the Year column on the same page

Aim - There are 2 prompts on Year. There are 2 simple reports both include the column Year. All these objects are put on the same page of the dashboard. Year_Prompt1 should change the Year values in Report 1 only. Similarly Year_Prompt2 should change the Year values in Report 2 and it should not affect the Report 1 data.

Workaround in OBIEE 11g.

1> Let us create a VARIABLE PROMPT - Year and insert the Year values manually - 1998,1999,2000.
     Name the Variable as A. Give proper label. Input is Choice list for example.












2>Let us create one simple Report 1.












In this report , Year column is filtered on a Presentation variable A - default value 1998.

3>Let us create a column prompt on column Year.














Prompt input is list box. Prompt value is defaulted to 1998.

4>Let us create one more report 2. Year is prompted. 

  












Let us put all these things on the same dashboard page.

Try changing the value in Year prompt 1 ( Drop down choice list ) and ensure that it is affecting the data only in Report 1 and not in Report 2  and
Year prompt 2 ( List box ) changes the data only in Report 2 and not in Report 1.













Thank you.

Hi,
In this article, first prompt is not on Year column. It's just a prompt (Variable). Try creating both the prompts on the Year column (Column prompts). Both will interact each other. Do you know the solution for that?
