Can text be displayed in a formula column using mathematical functions?

I am working with Financial Reports version 11.1.1.3 and I'm trying to accomplish the following scenario:
Column D is a data column
Column E is a text column containing the value "TEXT"
Column F is a formula column with the following formula: IfThen([D]=0,[E],[D])
What I want to see happen is if the value in column D is 0 then I want the value "TEXT" to appear in column F, otherwise; I want to show the data value that is in column D. Is it possible to display text in a formula column and if so, what is the syntax for that? Or does anyone have another way to accomplish this? Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks!

Short answer: No.
For your particular issue, I would suggest putting your TEXT value in the #zero and #missing overrides in Report Studio.
In general, Hyeprion Reporting does not do any real text validations or functions like you could use in Excel.

HT4061 I upgraded and no longer have an iphone. Now my fiance nor anyone with an iphone can text me because it still wants to use iMessage even though I have removed my number from the icloud, apple, and itunes. I have no idea what more to do.

We have already deleted my name and number from his iPhone, and tried re-adding it. It still lists my number as an iMessage. It is not feasible to ask everyone in my contact list with an iphone to turn that off so that they can text me. Please help. I've already done everything that I could find online, deleting my number out of everything and nothing has helped thus far. Thanks in advance.

Display images in rows & columns using dataTable in JSF 2.0, netbeans 6.9.1

Hi,
I have to display only images on a web page in JSF2.0 in Netbeans. I am using datatable and column to do so. But there is one problem.
All images are display only in single column(i.e. vertically). I want to display in rows and columns not only column.
e.g. One row will have atleast 3 images and more rows like this.
Which attribute should i use of datatable? or should i use some other tag?
My code is:
<h:dataTable var="images"
value="#{jsfMBean.allImages}"
rules="none"
cellpadding="20"
border="0" >
<h:column>
<h:graphicImage value="faces/WEB-INF/upload/#{images.picid}" width="300px" height="100px" />
</h:column>
</h:dataTable>
Thanks.
NetBeans 6.9.1
JSF 2.0 with facelets
glassfish 3.0
Enterprise java beans
PrimeFaces 3.0

I believe you are looking for the panelgrid, not the datatable.
Note that there are a few useful websites online that list the available JSF tags plus their properties, such as these:

Input enable query column using Planning function

Is it possible to input enable a column in query based on user action in Radio button group or button group by calling a planning function or WAD?
By default the column property for query will be Planning not allowed, but a user action should change the mode to Planning allowed using planning function or entries.
Thanks

Hi Ravi,
you could try to write an exit data slice and a planning function which sets the data slice to not lock the data during runtime. You can find several threads in this forum. how an exit data slice can be used to control the locking of data during runtime.
Together with the command I mentioned in my last answer this may work, but it still depends on your requirements. A dataslice checks only the combination of characteristics. If you can identiy a characteristic for each column this may work. If not, there is no characteristic combination which can be locked. Please consider this when designing your application. This may lead to an additional characteristic which is used just to identify which column should be locked.
Hope this helps ...

SQL LOADER: how to load CLOB column using stored function

Hi,
I am a newbie of sql loader. Everything seems to be fine until I hit a
road block - the CLOB column type. I want to load data into the clob
column using a stored function. I need to do some manipulation on the
data before it gets saved to that column. But I got this error when I
run the sql loader.
SQL*Loader-309: No SQL string allowed as part of "DATA" field
specification
DATA is my CLOB type column.
here is the content of the control file:
LOAD DATA
INFILE 'test.csv'
BADFILE 'test.bad'
DISCARDFILE 'test.dsc'
REPLACE
INTO TABLE test_table
FIELDS TERMINATED BY ','
OPTIONALLY ENCLOSED BY '"'
TRAILING NULLCOLS
codeid          BOUNDFILLER,
reason          BOUNDFILLER,
Checkstamp     "to_date(:CHECKSTAMP, 'mm/dd/yyyy')",
"DATA"          "GetContent(:codeid, :reason)"
All references are suggesting to use a file to load data on
CLOB column but I want to use a function in which it generates
the content to be saved into the column.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

Column Header Text not displaying for multi-set column block

Hello,
I have assigned a key figure set to a column block in a report writer report in ECC 6 using table FAGLFLEXT with both additional text functionality use and without use of additional text.
I can't get the column headings text for these key figure sets in the column block to appear on a report writer report.
Your assistance in getting the column headings text to appear will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,

For more clarity, and to make sure that the error is not in my database or series query, I have replicated the error online here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=27270:4
I plotted 3 series in the first region, including one series with no data for one period.
I plotted the fourth series in the second region, which has no data for 2 months. When I try to plot this in the first chart, nothing is displayed.
I can't understand why this is happening, I hope that there is a solution for this. I can share the workspace password where the above application is, if some one wants to take a look.

How do I populate a whole column using a function?

I have a table to determine the cost of my inventory (both wholesale and retail). I have the following columns:
Part
Total - the total number of Parts I have
Retail Cost - the price I charge my customers for 1 Part
Wholesale Cost - the price I paid for 1 Part
I want to create a new column called Total Wholesale which is the Product of Total and Wholesale Cost. I can do this by clicking on an individual cell in the Total Wholesale column and typing "=Total*Wholesale Cost". But I don't want to have to click on each cell in the Total Wholesale column and populate it this way. I would like to know if there is a mechanism where I can type in that sequence once and have Numbers use it to populate each individual cell of the Total Wholesale column. There must be a way. What am I missing?

Figured this out on my own. In the first cell of the Total Wholesale column, I typed my formula "=Total*Wholesale Cost". It computed the answer and put the result in that cell. I went back to that cell and selected it. A small circle appeared in the bottom right corner. I clicked on that little circle and dragged the cursor down the whole column. Each of the cells of the column filled with the result of my little formula.
Now, I do recognize that there is this whole issue of relative VS absolute cell addresses to contend with. But that's a topic for another discussion.

Formula Column help please - URGENT

I'm trying to create a formula column as follows:
function NO_REPLIESFormula return Number is
NOREPLY number;
begin
SELECT COUNT(reply) INTO NOREPLY
FROM letters
WHERE reply = 'N'
GROUP BY ltrtype, batch;
RETURN (NOREPLY);
end;
This PL/SQL compiles fine, but when I run the report, I get the following messages:
REP-1401 no_repliesformula FATAL PL/SQL error occured. ORA-01422 exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows.
If I remove the GROUP BY ltrtype, batch, I don't get the error messages, but the result I get is the total no_replies instead of the total no_replies for each ltrtype/batch grouping.
Could someone please help me with this?
Thank you.

Hi irish,
I think i am not sure about what you are trying to say, but let me guess, You want the values to be return on the bases of "ltrtype, batch". Which mea that you want more then one values, i mean there can be more then one Groups based on ltrtype and batch. and you want to display these values with repective record???
If i am right, then there is a fault in your code, and that is , you are not specifing in your code that which value is to be diplayed with which record in this report. For that there must be ltrtype, batch colums displayed in the report, you must add those values in your Code in the query, i.e.
function NO_REPLIESFormula return Number is
NOREPLY number;
begin
SELECT COUNT(reply) INTO NOREPLY
FROM letters
WHERE reply = 'N' and ltrtype= :V_ltrtype and batch=:v_batch;
RETURN (NOREPLY);
end;
Where :V_ltrtype and :v_batch are the run time values of each records displayed in the report.
Remember that if you don't sepecify this then your code will return as many records as many distich values of ltrtype, batch. and your variable NOREPLY can hold only one value at a time. I hope you understand both, Solution and the logic behind the error.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks.

Formula Column in Hyperion Planning 11.1.2.1

Hi ,
I need to create a Formula Column in web form taking excel sheet as reference for creating the formula.
Excel sheet has formula = iferror((A/B),0,(A/B)), where A and B are columns.I need to create a column C and has to put this excel formula using formula column functionality.
Please let me know all possible solutions for replicating this excel formula in formula column,
Thanks.

Here's why this is a bit tricky. You would likely want to use a formula something like this:
IfThen(IsError(Eval([A]/[B])), 0, Eval([A]/[B]))
But here's the problem . . . you can't pass the IsError function a calculation, even when it's enclosed in the Eval function. At least I've never gotten this to work.
So what you have to do is create another column . . . call it column [F] for this example. In that column, place the formula [A]/[B]. Hide this column.
Then for your formula column, use the following formula:
IfThen(IsError([F]), 0, Eval([A]/[B]))
You could alternatively use this:
IfThen(IsError([F]), 0, [F])
The key is to use a hidden column to perform your calculation, and then evaluate whether that hidden column produces an error.
Hope this helps,

In formula column - I am getting current year - but get numeric value error

Hello
I defined a formula column as folllows:
function CF_1Formula return char is
thisyear char;
begin
     select to_char(sysdate,'YYYY')
     into thisyear
     from dual;
     return thisyear;
end;
I get - Fatal Pl/Sql error. numeric or value error. What am I doing wrong here?

Or replace the whole thing with
RETURN to_char(sysdate,'YYYY');
saving a pointless round trip to the database.

Add Column with Varchar2 function

i created a program unit (function) that returns a varchar2(100). How do i create a link between the function and a new column on the report for each record? I created a query that returns two columns now i want to apply this function to a third column to get some formatted text.

Make sure the column type property for the formula column is set to CHARACTER, and the width is set to 100 to match up with your function. And the PL/SQL prolog of the formula column should read:
function CF_<some_name>Formula return Char is
FYI, in Reports, CHAR and VARCHAR get formatted the same way (e.g., trailing blanks are ignored).
