Showing Multiple dimension columns in same report

We need to show revenue data in one report (pivot table) with column headings as Month, Qtr and Year coming from the same dimension.
The Report should be like,
Jul Aug Sep Q3-2007 2007
Revenue
We are able to create separate views for month, year and quarter in the same report but we need all of them to show up in one line in the same view. If we create 3 separate views then they are not correctly aligned on the dashboard page. Can we create a single view using these columns.
Any suggestions on how to solve this?
Thanks.

use min(month), min(month)+1 , max(month) , quarter, year at qurter level report

Standard report then, NOT an interactive report (which if you were using, you could build a computation and report on that)..
Then the adding a column in the query would be your best best...

How to use the procedure column in reports

Hi all
How to call the procedure in reports as source.. If possible how to use columns of procedure in the layout column of report????

Hi,
Your query is not clear.
1. In subject are you asking total column.
A. Edit pivot view and go to Rows and click Total BY option here you can find option like (none,before,after) the you can select after it will display total all culms.
2. I want use the columnC in columnD ? -- Am not understand.
A. What my understand is you want to see the report only C and D values only.
If it is correct we can apply filter in report level click column filed and apply not equal to A then it will show only C and D only.
If it is wrong pleas post me correct one with example. Will try to help out this.
I am not sure this is what your looking so far.

Additional Lead Column in Report painter

Hi Gurus
Please guide me how to add an additional Lead column in Report painter
Thanks
Hiren

Hi HIren,
There can be only one lead column in report painter.
However within the one lead column you can identify more than one characteristic - e.g. cost center and cost element. You can then identify that both characteristics should be exploded.
If you go Edit > Rows > Explode, you have the opportunity of identifying which characteristic takes presidence over the other, and how they expand. So in this example, Cost center will be 1 and cost element will be 2.
The output will be dependant upon your report layout, but you should have the layout so that you have:
Cost Center A:
- Cost Element A
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
Cost Center B:
- Cost Element A:
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
And to distinguish the cost centers from the cost elements, you can format the cost center row "Color for Totals"

I want to hide a column in report 6i

hi
I want to hide a column in report 6i,
I used this code
function F_col_qty3FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :color3 is null then
return (false);
else
return (TRUE);
end if;
end;
plz note that COL_QTY3 and COLOR3 both are from different table
and resulting gave this error
REP-1314 Format trigger 'F_col_qty3' reference column 'color3' at wrong frequency.

You can format fields from a lower level group using fields from an upper level field, but not vice versa. This is because for the same upper level field there may exist several values of the lower level field. If this can not happen in your situation, there is no reason to place the fields in different groups.

Hiding characteristics in the BEx reporting

My query is Hiding characteristics in the BEx reporting.
I want to see only query title, variable and result.
I want Hide or delete characteristics ( which are free characteristics and rows in Design mode of query) at query level.
can I do this ?

Ok. I was thinking you were in 7.0.
anyway, in your query remove all the characteristics in your rows and the query will show only the result then. (no drill-down)
For technical name and variable info. in analyzer, go to Layout and choose Display text elements.

How to display top 2 countries in 2 columns in Report Designer

Hello Gurus ,
I have a requirement where top 2 countries has to be displayed in two different columns in Report Designer.
is there are way to do that, i tried many differetn ways but was not successfull, apart from creating text variables and writing customer exit.
I appreciate your help
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
I am not sure what version you are, from version 9.3 I think there is a "Top" function, just highlight the row, tick the option for "Top", set the number and the column
Failing that if you need to use rank could you not hide the column.
Cheers

Sorting based on two columns in report

Hi,
we have one issue on sorting based on two columns in report.
In the report we are doing sorting on two columns(week_id and stage_name). I have attached the screen shot for the same. The sorting is first done on the week_id and then on the stage_name. The issue comes when we have no data for the stage 1 - Prospect in W1. The stage goes to the second position.
Please suggest if there is any work around to show the 1 - Prospect stage in W1.
Regards,
Ambika Nanda.

what is w1? where is screenshot? and is stage seoncd sort? if so what is the issue?

Conditional display column in report

Hi,
If we have a single row report of 30 columns, and I want to display only the one with any values but null and hide the null ones, Is there a way to do it?
It's the same issue discussed in this thread conditional display column in report
thanks,
Fadi.

Samara - I suspect there are a few ways to do this, but none obvious or very easy as far as I can see.
You can create dynamic SQL (as Arie and others have suggested) to only include the columns that are not null.
You can build and output the HTML directly to the page, choosing only to include the values that are not null.
You can create a set of conditions that you can apply to the report columns. A very crude example might be 30 hidden page items like 'SHOW_COL1' etc. (not great, I know), or perhaps you could set a hidden page item to a value like '01:02:03:'etc., with the number only being included if the value is not null (so that col3 being null gives you '01:02::04'etc.), so that the condition for each column is 'Text in expr 1 in contained in Item in expr 2', where expr 1 is '01' for column 1 etc.
Sorry, that is a very contrived example, but it's just to illustrate that there's generally a way of doing pretty much anything in APEX. You might create your item containing the comparison expression by requerying the data in this kind of way:
SELECT NVL2(column1, '01', '') || ':' || NVL2(column2, '02', '') || ':' etc.
FROM table
WHERE condition
However, wanting to create a single-row report with nulls hidden makes we wonder what you're actually trying to achieve and whether there's a better way? Could you use a series of page items, for example?
John.
