Data field in Report Designer

Hi Experts,
I am trying to create a report. I have used a query as data provider. I was wondering if I can use formulas(adding, multiplying...) in report designer as user wants to see calculated values in the report. Could you please let me know how to achieve that in Report designer as I have noticed that all cells are identified as texts.
Many thanks in advance
Regards
Shanthi

Hi Vachan,
this is where i am confused. So you are saying that I can not do any manupulations(like dividing a value by 1000) in Report Designer then??
Just to be clear,
Say in Excel, while formatting, we can perform functions using one cell referrence in another. cell2=cell1*1000 where as cell1 is part of the query result and cell 2 is calculated after cell1 does.
Regards
Shanthi.

  • Discoverer 2000 : Problem in sorting date field on report

    Hello,
    I am not able to sort on date field on report
    it is giving error as
    ( illegal operation).

    Thanks Savitha.
    I found one more way of making that code work, just want to share this.
    If we add the following statement, the same code works without having to add the time part along with date.
    "DBMS_XMLSave.setdateformat(updctx, 'yyyy-MM-dd');"
    note the format is case sensitive. Instead of MM, if you give 'mm' it won't work, it uses java format.

  • Date field in Reporting

    Hello all ,
    We need to display the Start date and the End date along with the time taken to complete the project in a report. I have created a measure called date and the type is a text field. I was able to load data into the date field. But , I am unable to bring the date field into the report. There is a error which is coming. Is it possible to display the date field in the report / KPI ?
    Thanks

    Hi Ricardo ,
    I am trying out both the methods. My client is a infrastructure company. It has a number of projects . The client wants to monitor the performance of each of his projects and the overall Delay.  My requirement is to display a report which has the actual start date , planned start date , actual end date , planned end date , actual , budget and delay.
    I tried to load the date fields into the PAS as a text field. The data load was successful. But when designing the report , I am getting an error. Is it a problem related to text variables ? Is it possible to bring the text variables onto the UI ?
    Is there a way to build a report on the data from initiatives in SSM ? Do we need another reporting toll to achieve the same ?
    Thanks

  • Hyperlink on data field crystal report vs 2005

    Please help!!!!
    I can not set the hyperlink on a data field in *.rpt.
    I also set the hyperlink type was A website on internet and filled the website address. But when report display i can not see any link.
    Thanks in advanges,

    Hello,
    (from CR Help file)
    You can select a report object on the Design or Preview tab and create a hyperlink to another location.
    The hyperlink is saved with your report and is available to other users as a way of viewing additional information.
    Note:    Crystal Reports also lets you create hyperlinks with Relative URLs, so your web reports retain independence from their location on any particular server.
    To create a hyperlink field
    Select a report object on the Design or Preview tab.
    On the Format menu, click Hyperlink.
    The Format Editor dialog box appears with the Hyperlink tab active.
    Click the type of hyperlink you want to create.
    The available types in the upper area are:
    No Hyperlink
    This is the default option. There is no hyperlink associated with the selected report object.
    A Website on the Internet
    Select this option if you want your report object to be linked to a static web address. Use the formula button to create a URL based on a field value. For example, you might enter the following formula if your Customer Name field contained information that would create a series of meaningful URLs:
    "http://www." + {Customer.Customer Name} + ".com"
    Note:    You can also use this option to connect to Business Objects, Web Intelligence, and OLAP Intelligence documents (this is also known as report linking). Use the openDocument function to create these hyperlinks in Crystal Reports.
    Current Website Field Value
    Select this option if you want the program to create a hyperlink out of the field you selected. The field must be stored as a proper hyperlink in your data source.
    An E-mail Address
    Select this option if you want to create a "mailto" address from the field you selected. Use the formula button to create an address based on a field value.
    A File
    Select this option to create a hyperlink to a file on a specific computer or networked computer. Use the formula button to create a file path based on a field value.
    You can also use a hyperlink of this type to run an EXE with a command-line parameter. Enter the path and application name, and follow it by the parameter for the command.
    Current E-mail Field Value
    Select this option if you want the program to create an email hyperlink out of the field you selected. The field must be stored as a proper email address in your data source.
    The available types in the DHTML Viewer Only area are:
    Report Part Drilldown
    For information about how to use this option, see The Report Part Drilldown option.
    Another Report Object
    For information about how to use this option, see The Another Report Object option.
    Note:    Not all hyperlink types are available at all times. The object you select and its location on the report determine which types are available.
    After you have chosen a hyperlink type, enter the appropriate hyperlink information (the URL of a web site, for example).
    Click OK when you are finished.
    The hyperlink is inserted as appropriate. Click it on the report to go to the web site, to send an e-mail, and so on.

  • Missing data fields in Query designer

    Hi Guys,
    A query exists on an ODS. There are few characteristics and navigational attributes in the ODS. In Query designer, on the left hand side under Dimensions,
    i can see 'Data part' (for Data fields of ODS) and 'Key section' (for Key fields of ODS).
    All but 2 fields (One data field and one navigational attribute of the ODS) are seen under 'Dart part' of the query designer.
    Data field - Accounting Document number
    Navigational attribute - Actual Acquisition Fiscal Year
    What may the reason for those 2 fields not appearing.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi,
    I executed a query on the ODS using LISTCUBE. To my surprise, i can find both 0AC_DOC_NO and ZACQ_YR here. If i can find both these in LISTCUBE, why don't i find the same in the query designer. Even though i built a new query on the ODS in the query designer, i still can't find them in the query designer.
    Thanks

  • Posting date field in reports S_SMC_47000016 / S_SMC_47000017

    Hi all,
    We are using the serice desk function for monitoring the support tickets. I have one quert related to List of notification transactions S_SMC_47000016 / S_SMC_47000017.
    In the service desk whenever we run the report of all open notificaitons (S_SMC_47000017)  Or Find Support Notifications (S_SMC_47000016), in the list output we do not get any data in the field "Posting Date".  We do get the date in field "Valid From", but no information is getting populated in posting Date column.
    If we try to search the notifications using the T Code " CRMD_ORDER" and try to get the list of notifications in the find Tab, then here the posting date gets populated.
    Could you please let me know if  there is any setting which is preventing from Posting Date to be populated in the T Codes S_SMC_47000016 / S_SMC_47000017.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi,
    We have chnaged the layout already, my question is that in the layout the posting date column is appearing, but the posting date is not getting updated for any notification in the output. The column remains blank.

  • Date field - Hourly report

    Hello All,
    If I have a table 'TMP_LOGING' with a date column 'Created' and a number column 'LOGINS', how can I pull hourly logins from these table?
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    If you pass a 2nd argument to TRUNC (dt), it (basically) returns the DATE that is like dt as far as the 2nd argument specifies, but with all the smaller time divisions set to their lowest possible values.
    SELECT        TRUNC (created, 'HH')     AS hour
    ,        COUNT (*)                  AS total_logins
    FROM        tmp_loging
    GROUP BY   TRUNC (created, 'HH')     
    ORDER BY   TRUNC (created, 'HH')     
    ;If created is
    June 18, 2010 14:09:48, then TRUNC (created, 'HH') returns
    June 18, 2010 14:00:00.
    That is, since the 2nd argument was the format specifier for hours, the hour of the two DATEs, and all the larger time divisions (day, mont, and year) are the same, but the smaller time divisions (minute, second) of the value returned are as low as they can possibly be.

  • Chart report Condition fields and Data fields

    Hi all,
    i have tried chart report by adding two condion fields and one data field, the report is more meaning full in this scenario. the first condition field is taken as x-axis, the 2nd condition fields is taken as legend.
    while adding more condition fields and data fields, i feel its not showing meaningfull data.
    can anyone explain how the condition fields and data fileds are manipulated by crystal report.
    i am using CR XI R2 Server.
    Thanks
    Padmanaban V

    i am using Crystal Report XI R2 RAS Embedded in my server.
    as we can add any number condition fields programatically using the method
    ConditionField.Add(FieldObj), i would like to know how these fields are manipulated internally by the RAS server.
    that means, what is the significance of condition fieldobject 1, condition fieldobject 2,condition fieldobject 3 etc...
    if i add more than two condition fields , RAS Chart Report always returns 0 as legend value for all legends.
    Thanks in advance

  • Error message in BEx Report Designer

    Hello,
    I get an error message when I try to add a data provider in Report Designer
    It says:
    "Error when loading query metadata
    Check the query and portal settings"
    I can see no reason why my query should not appear in my report.
    Has anyone seen a similar thing before?
    With regards
    Kristian

    Hi,
    There is a reason for that. RD uses Java BICS service for getting the query meta data. This means that the request has to be processed in Java.
    This error appears when Java server is not properly configured. The note 937697 will help you to check and correct the configuration of ABAP - Java connection.
    With the note 989525 you can simply check the connection (it will be broken in your system). Points 4 - 7 are describing the check directly in ABAP.

  • Report Designer Problems

    Hi all,
    I have two questions when I run BEx Report Designer:
    1. For InfoProvider or query with Chinese characters, I can't insert Data Provider into Report Designer. The error message is "Server does not return query metadata Check the query". For English-based InfoProvider or query it works.
    2. When I insert a query into Report Designer and execute it, it pops up another error message as following:
    <b>Version number of report is too high
    This report Web item can display reports with version number 2.1 or lower. This report has version number 2.2
    To display this report, use a newer version of the report Web item
    Contact your system administrator. This error was recorded</i> </b> 
    The BW is version 7.0 with SP12 and the BEx is SP12 with Patch1. Please help on these issues if you have any idea. Thanks very much.

    Please check the deployment of BI Java.
    The message corresponds to a Report Item of NW 2004s SPS 9.
    Reports with Version 2.2  can be processed by Report Item SPS 10 and higher.
    Report Designer checks the BI SP number (ABAP). You have to make sure
    the BW server and the Portal are in sync regarding the SPS. I assume the BI SP was 10 or 11 when the Report was saved. However the Portal was not upgraded when the Report was run.
    NW 2004s SPS 12 = BI Java SPS 12, BI ABAP SP 13/14
    NW 2004s SPS 11 = BI Java SPS 11, BI ABAP SP 12

  • System date format in reports (winnt)

    Hello All,
    I am using oracle report bulder 6.0.5.35. on winnt
    i have to show all the date fields in my report in the system format (as specified in the regional settings in control panel)
    i couldn't find a direct solution, so what i did was to create a user defined parameter and pass the system date format as a string to the report at runtime (this report is invoked from VC++, so i can pass the local setting as a string at runtime)
    after this, in BEFORE REPORT trigger i use the following code
    dbms_session.set_nls('nls_date_format',:dat);
    --where dat is the user parameter.
    shouldn't this change the date format for the current session. but this is not happening. (i have not set date formats for any date fields in report)
    i am not getting the output in format that i passed, but always i am getting in 'dd-mon-yy' format.
    can anybody please help. is there any other solution.
    thanks and regards,
    Pinto.

    hello,
    the DBMS_SESSION changes the settings on the database side. as reports has it's own client-side NLS settings this does not have any influence on the output.
    the client-side settings are defined by the NLS_LANG settings in the registry on the client.

  • Mandatory field in report

    Hi,
    I have a date field on report.
    Now this needs to be mandatory and report should be run in batch mode with a variant.
    Also when the report is run the first time the date should not be taken from the selection screen input but from TVARV, this is fine, logic can be written for this.
    However since date is a mandatory field and the only way to check whether user input or TVARV needs to be selected is the FIRST ot the subsequesnt runs of the report.
    How to find out if the report has run first time, it is being scheduled as a batch job with a variant.

    Hello,
    As you want to make the DATE field in your report as mandatory and will be picking up the last run date (DATE) from the same table whenever your run the table then while you are fetching the date from TVARV table , for the first time as there is no data stored in TVARV table for your program your query will fail. In this case i.e. sy-subrc = 4, please create a enrty in the same table.
    I am assuming that you will be updating the DATE (last run date) in TVARV table everytime after the successfull execution of the program.
    Hope it helps.
    Thanks,
    Jayant.
