I have a filter by different divisions (Management, IT, Finance, etc). I currently have it so that I can do data quality check for each division. However, I don't want this filter to show up users of different divisions. Right now, the IT folks can see the division filter and as they are restricted to see only their division's data, they only see the "IT" as the only option in the filter. I would like for them to not see the Division filter at all as it is not useful for them, but I do need it for data quality purposes.
One of the solutions is to publish a workbook without the filter for the end users and another workbook with the filter just for you in a different folder (which only you can access). This one works always but you have 2 versions of the same report.
Or you can try it with parameters as described here:

I'm currently working on a google sheets file to organize the members of my class. I am currently assigning committees and I want them to choose their committee in Google Sheets. However, I want to apply only a certain limit per committee.
What I want to happen is, if a certain choice has been chosen i.e. 5 times, I would like that choice to disappear from the choices and would make it reappear again if ever a students change their choice, however, I do not know how to do this in terms of a formula or through data validation.
I would really appreciate your help. Thank you!
Here's a toy example you may be able to adapt to your needs:
Create a list of options a,b,c,d,e in A1:E1 of Sheet1
Create a list of the limits for each option in A2:E2 (for instance 2,1,3,5,3)
Create a list of people Person1,Person2,Person3 in G2:G4
Apply data validation to H2:H4:
Use criteria 'drop down (from a range)'
Set the data range to =Sheet1!$A3:$E3 (only lock columns, not rows)
In A3 enter the following formula:
=lambda(people,choices,list,limits,
makearray(counta(people),counta(list),lambda(r,c,
if(index(choices,r)<>index(list,,c),if(countif(choices,index(list,,c))<index(limits,,c),index(list,,c),),index(list,,c)))))(
$G$2:$G$4,$H$2:$H$4,$A$1:$E$1,$A$2:$E$2)
We are using MAKEARRAY to create a 2D array with the list of options on each line, however we are asking it to omit elements of the list from each line if they haven't already been selected AND a preset limit on the number of selections for that option has not been reached. Obviously in a 'real' example you would place the data range for validation in a separate sheet and probably hide and protect that sheet as well. You could also potentially use an array literal of strings rather than a cell range as the list of options in order to make the validation list formula completely self-contained.
I have an analysis that uses a filter in order to limit the results.
I put this analysis into a Dashboard together with a Dashboard prompt.
The Dashboard prompt consists of various columns and all of them are of type "Choice list" and all have the option "Limit values by" = "All prompts".
However, this is not working as I expected. I thought that the values appearing in he Choice list should be limited by the filters applied in the analysis but it seems that the dashboard prompt first shows all the possible values before having applied the analysis filter.
Is this correct?
If this is the way it works, the problem I am facing is that some of the values appearing in the Choice list of the prompt columns will result in NO DATA in the analysis.
Thanks for your help!
"I thought that the values appearing in he Choice list should be limited by the filters applied in the analysis"
Exactly the other way around. Prompts send their selected values to the filter that's in the analysis and hence cut off the data stream.
It is normal that a prompt retrieves selection values for which a certain point of view retrieves no data. Other way round would make no sense. Imagine you sell 5 products and one didn't sell at all in August. Do you want to remove August from your month prompt?
The interdependence of prompts that you mention is for example - limit regions to only regions of a selected country. Limit customers to only customers of a selected business unit etc.
What you write and expect is that the prompt should go over the effective data (facts) and only retrieve values for which data (facts) exists. As said above that's not the most logical thing to do in an analytical environment since one change of point of view can mean that data "exists" or "doesn't exist" - then you change the point of view and the situation changes. And you want that. You don't want to hardcode points of view which over time or when somebody else looks at the data (personalized data security) they will get different results.
Don't hardcode too much. Don't restrict the system artificially.

I've defined a report in Cognos Report Studio.
I've also exposed this report in IBM BAM Business Spaces. I've used Report Viewer widget for that.
This widget allows end users to remove filters defined for the report. The data security is preserved (FGS applied), but they can access irrelevant data for specific report.
I would like to disable this (removing filters). Unfortunately this build-in widget is not allowing that.
As workaround I'm trying to use some other technique than filters to limit the data. I was trying to apply the filtering within the slicer.
My data is quite flat, and the data item I want to filter is not defined as dimension. That's probably the reason why it's not working for me.
I have a table with multiple columns.
My slicer definition:
filter([A_Events Query Subject].[ATracking_Events].[Status Code],
[A_Events Query Subject].[A_Events].[Status Code] = 'Q')
Anyway, all data (not filtered) are shown as a result.
Any idea how this can be solved?
I'm using Sphinx for indexing news which i gather from about 100 sites daily.
Each news document has id,title,body,date fields.
For homepage of my project i want to show latest news of today group by topic.
For example site A has a news with title:
"Internet of Things Will Burn Privacy for a While, Cerf Warns"
And site B has one with title:
"Cerf Warns : Internet of Things Will Burn Privacy for a While"
I want to show these news as one item with sites that covered it. Like:
"Internet of Things Will Burn Privacy for a While, Cerf Warns"
Published by : a.com,b.org,...
Is it possible with Sphinx?
Sphinx wont do it on its own. It can't just 'magically' group similar items into clusters of likely duplicate items.
(if the titles where identical - charactor for charactor, could just group by, but thats not the case in your example)
Once you've got your documents into clusters - eg assigned them a 'cluster-id'. Eg the two items in your example, would have the same cluster-id. A unique article not mentioned by mulitple sources would have its own id. - Sphinx could then help you search or render results - using the built in group by.
So first you need to cluster your documents.
There are dedicated tools for this type of thing, for example: https://github.com/open-city/dedupe
But a very basic one could actully be built with sphinx. Would probably work ok in your example, because the titles contain the same words, just in different order.
Basically just need a script that loops though all documents that DONT have a cluster-id, then run a sphinx search against the index, looking for duplicates. If one is found, duplicate its cluster-id, otherwise just allocate a fresh unique id.
This script can then just be run after inserting news documents, to 'cluster' any new stories.
The exact sphinx query can be varied. eg just including the words in a basic query, would require all the same words - regardless of order. But could also perhaps use a quorum search to require most words matching etc.
Might also want to filter by date to avoid dupluicating stories from wildly differnt dates.
Customer Circuits - What are the associated active customer circuits?
try to edit your report set three filter criteria and save it. then try to pass your criteria values again. i think the trick is to let the report expect three parameters.
