I am trying to create one dashboard where I am using a pivot table in my visualization. I want one of the dashboard filter should not be applied to one column of the pivot table. For ex- I have my filter as Product and I have different amount value in the pivot table. I do not want that product filter to be applied to target amount column as back in my database it has been assigned to one of the 7 products used in the filter,If the filter will change to another product that target amount will change but I want that target value to remain intact. Please Please help

Is it possible to use Laravel Backpack relationship field type with both inline_create and pivot fields enabled?
I'm trying to make this happen:
I have 2 entities, Products and Productions, and both have a belongsToMany relation defined in the model. Therefore they have a pivot table with product_id and production_id.
In this pivot table I have a count column.
With Backpack I'm trying to solve the following:
I want to fetch products on productions create operation, or create product from this view and specify the pivot field count with it.
If I remove the 'subfields' property from the field definition, the add field button shows up.
I've attached 3 screenshots of the mentioned functionality.
Product with Add, but without count field
Clicked on "Add" - Modal opened
Product with count pivot field and without Add
Hello #roamingTurkey !
You should be able to do it, but you need to configure your pivotSelect key in your n-n field definition : https://backpackforlaravel.com/docs/5.x/crud-how-to#extra-saving-additional-attributes-to-the-pivot-table
Let me know!
I have created a pivot table which contains measures that calculates values from another pivot table. Everything works correctly, however when I apply a filter to the referencing table, my measures don’t reflect the same value, but they will if a slicer is applied. Is there a way to do this without using slicers?
While creating report I need to take tax amount for individual product from account.invoice (sale). Have tried SQL query but it is not possible so how can I do that?
A SQL query is possible but it could get hard if you try to make the calculations in pure SQL. account.invoice.line has a Many2many field invoice_line_tax_ids that you can use in your SQL query as a mapping table (database table account_invoice_line_tax that has fields invoice_line_id and tax_id).
If you want to make this job easier for yourself, create a new computed field (remember store=True) for account.invoice.line that calculates the taxes by line using the same methods Odoo uses. See account.invoice.line._compute_price for example.
If you need the taxes by product instead of by invoice line, just group the invoice lines by product in your report.
I have looked for an answer here among other places but havent quite been able to find what I need to know.
I have 3 tables, Order_Details, Products_Ordered and Product_Details. The first two are being used in a master detail form to show the order and the items ordered together. The Products_Ordered table has a composite primary key made from two foreign keys, the first being the primary key from the Order_Details table, and the second being the primary key from the Product_Details table. Together they ensure that a type of product can only be added to an order once. If someone wants to order more than one product then the quantity field in the record can be altered to reflect this. All that seems fine so far.
My issue is that when adding products to the order in the master detail form i have used a drop down list of values to select the product to add to the order. the display value for this is the product name and the return value for it is the primary key for the product from the Product_Details table.
I like this because its easier for the user to simply select the product and add a quantity of it to the table. And it works fine for both insert and update operations apart from one situation.
If the user selects the same product in to rows then submits the table the database then tries to add the product to the order twice, throwing a "ORA-00001: unique constraint violated." error. Obviously this is because of the product ID being used in the primary key of the table.
I don't want to allow the user to add two records to the table like that, rather id like to force them to alter the quantity field accordingly. The error message that comes up isn't very user friendly so my question is how can I detect this error and display a more user friendly one instead telling them to alter the quantity field instead?
*If this isn't possible then is there a way that I can hide any already selected products from the dropdown list of values in the following table rows? I haven't looked into this too much because surely it would get complicated when the user tries to add more rows than products available in the dropdown and there are no more products values to show?
I am quite new to this so please be nice. Any help is greatly appreciated :D

I'm trying to build a FileMaker Pro 11 layout that excludes records containing a certain value. The relevant data is in table Invoice. I want to filter so that Invoice records whose "Invoice Check Grouping" field is blank are not displayed on the layout.
I've added a global field to the invoice table called "Blank Invoice Check Grouping" to use as my filter criteria. I've created a self-join relationship to the Invoice table, joining "Invoice ID" to "Invoice ID" and joining "Invoice Check Grouping" to "Blank Invoice Check Grouping". The resulting table is named "Invoice Check Groupings".
The layout which I build based on table "Invoice Check Groupings" shows all records in Invoice--it does not filter out those with blank values. What am I doing incorrectly?
Thanks,
Ben
Layouts show records in a table (or more accurately, a table occurrence) and don't directly deal with related data. As mentioned by #pft221, you can use relationships for filtering, but only when viewing data through a portal.
If you always want a particular layout to show data based on a particular find, you can do so with a script and a script trigger. First set up a script to do the following:
Enter Find Mode[]
Set Field["Invoice Check Grouping"; "*" // Find all records with any data in this field
Perform Find[]
Note that you can also embed the find request within the Perform Find script step, but I tend to script finds in the above manner as it's easier to see what the find request is in the script and variables can be used in the find request.
Now you need to set your layout to execute this script whenever it's loaded. Go to the layout and enter Layout Mode. Select Layouts>Layout Setup from the menu bar. Click the Script Triggers tab and check the box for OnLayoutEnter and select the script you wrote above. Now whenever the layout is entered, that script will run and exclude the records that have that particular field being empty.
There are many ways to filter records, depending on what you are trying to do and what you are trying to display for your users.
The most common and simple way you can filter records is through a simple Find in a list view. I'm unclear from your question, but my best guess is that you're already using a list view and misunderstanding how FileMaker's relationships and Table Occurrences (TO's) work.
To Filter with the "Find Records" method:
Create a new List View layout of any Table Occurrence of your Invoice Table -- most likely you will want to use the default Table Occurrence that FileMaker created for you when you created the table.
Place the fields that you would like to display on that layout, including the "Invoice Check Grouping" field.
Switch into Find Mode
Put a '*' character into the "Invoice Check Grouping" field
Perform the Find
You should now see a list of all Invoices where the "Invoice Check Grouping" field is not blank. (You can find additional interesting search criteria in the "Insert: Operators" drop down of the title bar.)
Now you may actually be looking to filter related records through a portal but, given that you've set up a self-join on the Invoice index on the Invoice table my guess is that, at best, this would show either 0 or 1 record for each Invoice record you display in your main layout.
To Filter Records with the "Portal Filter" method:
Let's assume, though, that you have a Client table where you'd like to see only the records with a non-blank "Invoice Check Grouping" value. The table set-up would be as follows:
Client
Client ID
[... other client info ...]
Invoice
Invoice ID
Client ID
Invoice Check Grouping
[... other invoice info ...]
With a relationship in the relationships graph:
Client::Client ID ------< Invoice::Client ID
From there you would set up a Form layout on the Client TO and create a portal showing records from the Invoice TO. From the options for the portal you would select "Filter Portal Records" and use a formula similar to:
not IsEmpty(Invoice::Invoice Check Grouping)
Finally, it's worth noting that a portal filter isn't appropriate for all display situations or calculations. You can set up a similar filter completely through your relationships graph (as I believe you have already tried to do.) This will work, once again, for viewing records through a portal but not for the records displayed by a layout itself.
The answers above don't actually help Ben with his question. They are workarounds.
I have the same problem as Ben, and I don't think there is a solution, even now in Filemaker 12. There is I think no way to define a relationship that will omit the related records where the match fields are empty.
Two options come to mind:
On a specific layout, you have more fine-grained control in the portal definition itself, and can use this to exclude the records
You can now use SQL queries to achieve this result within Filemkaer.
