Hyperlink on Blank Cells in WebI

Hi,
I want to enable the hyperlink on the particular column content. There are few cells that remain blank
Whenever, I enable a hyperlink on that particular column, it gets enable for the cell and however in blank cell it displays the url of the hyperlink.
I would be really grateful if someone could throw some light on this.
Regards,
BOB

Hi,
We cannot hide specifc cells in WebI, however we can choose to whether to display or not empty measure values and empty dimension value.
So you need to select the desired block-> Right Click and Select Format Table-> Uncheck Show rows with empty dimension values or Show rows with empty measure values whichever is required to be hidden.
Hope this helps.

Hiding the blank cells in Webi report - BO 4.0

Hi,
I have created a webi report in which i have used different types of blocks
1) Form table
2) Verticle table
3) Horizontal table.
so now in real time there chances that some of the blocks will not have any data.(i.e it displays blank cell) in the report.
so now i have to hide only the blank cells and not the table headers.that means though the cells are blank i have to display headers.
what formatting changes i need to achieve this in Webi Report.
If anybody does this please let me know the step by step logic in detail.
Thanks in advance.

Naga Nanda Kishore.

How to allow multiple values in a single blank cell in WebI report

Hi
I am working in BO XIR2. I have a scenario as follows.
In a single cell (blank cell from template) i need to display multiple contact persons. When I drag the contact person name into the blank cell, I am getting an error: MULTIVALUE). Please let me know how to use a function so that I can show two or three contact person names in a single blank cell.
I tried to use Replace and Char function as follows to bring Carriage Return functionality to the cell.
Replace([Contact Person]; ";" ; Char(13)) but this did not work.
Thanks in Advance.

BOUser11:
I know this thread has been answered. I recently came across a scenario where I happen to populate multiple values in a single blank cell(from templates). But the only catch being that if user enters multiple values for a prompt you can show them in a single cell eg: =UserResponse("Enter value(s) for Branch:"). would be the formula for the blank cell. Afetr the user selects three values say A, B,C, webi puts it in the format of A;B;C. in a single cell.
In your case try giving that as a prompt to the user or answer that multi prompt some how and when u use the above formula it should suffice your requirement.
Let me know if you have tried.
Thanks,

Cannot move free standing cell in Webi 4?

Hello all,
Have you encountered or heard an issue of not able to move the blank cell in Web Intelligence 4.0? this happened both in webi rich client and at web interface.
Suppose we can add a free standing cell/blank cell freely at any empty area of a report. But it is always aligned to the left. No way to move it around!! This problem is at blank cell, pre-defined cell (e.g. document name, page number, .. , etc).
this seems a simple function but cannot make it to work! any suggesiton is appreciated. Thanks.
Regards, gloria

Hi,
this was a problem that we tracked and fixed in patch 2.5, you should please install SP2 and Patch 2.11 which is the latest available.
Thanks and regards,

How to remove blank pages from WebI Report in view page layout option

Hi,
I am working in Business Objects XIR2 environment. I have a WebI report with several sections. I need to show the report as a book with 69 sections (each section on new page). there are 69 sections on cost center and each cost center section has almost 10 sections embedded in it. When i see in regular view - I only see 69 pages but when I try to see in "View Page Lay out" option, there is one blank page added after each results page.
Please let me know how to remove this blank page. I need to give users the option to download the book as PDF on to their machine. Now, when I download to my machine, I see one blank page after each results page.
Thanks in advance.

Jus convert your report in Page Layout mode and see if your first pafe is getting expand in the second page.
Now check if there are any cell going into second page.
- if there are any blank cell which is there after table.
you have to check formating very carefull.

Hiding and clearing cells in WebI 4.0

Hi guys,
We are building a resourcing solutions which looks at exceptions between Timesheet data and Resourcing data, ie. the resourcing team want to be able to see that the time logged by consultants matches what is was planned by resourcing.
The WebI report is being built on top of BPC10.0 using a BPC planning model. Within the planning model the timesheet data and resourcing data will be stored as versions. We are able to build a WebI report from a BEx query on top of this model, but we are struggling with presenting the data as requested. Within the report resourcing want to be able to see the resourcing data and the timesheet data. What we want to do is compare the timesheet and resourcing versions, blank out any cells for dates where there are no exceptions, and remove any consultants who have no exceptions at all that week.
An example of this would be:
4th    5th    6th    7th   8th
Consultant A     Res      1        1      1      0      0
Time      1        1     1      0      0
Consultant B     Res       1       0       0      1      1
Time      0       0       1      1      1
So in this case we would want to completely hide the data for consultant A and show the data for consultant B in this format:
4th    5th    6th    7th    8th
Consultant B    Res      1       x       0         x       x
Time      0       x        1        x       x
Where x donates a blank cell.
The problem we have with the filters and conditions we have currently been working with is that either we are able to only blank out cells with no exceptions, or to completely remove any day with out exceptions (ie we would only see the dates the 4th and 6th displayed. We need to keep the week structure there so that the view is intuitive to the User). Neither of the "solutions" we are working on has the full functionality that we need and we can't find the middle ground.
I have searched the SDN for similar issues but haven't been able to find anything that really matches up to this. Apologies if I have missed a similar thread and am covering old ground, but any help would be greatly appreciated. Does anyone have a solution for these issues?
Many thanks,
Mike
Edited by: Michael Cowan on Jan 11, 2012 11:40 AM

Apologies I should have posted the solution.
In the end it was quite simple so it makes me a bit embarrassed for asking the question in the first placeg. I am new to SAP though and my speciality is actually CRM rather than BPC or BI so I have an excuse. Originally we were using one key figure (sign data which showed how much time was booked) in our BEx query which was matched against two structures which were our timesheet and resourcing versions within our BPC model. We instead created 2 restricted key figures (timesheet, resourcing) and 2 calculated key figures (exceptions, exceptionssumperemployee) which allowed us to change how our data was represented. The WebI report was then built from this BEx query. We were then able to filter any consultants out where exceptionsumperemployee = 0 using the filter function within our WebI report. We were also able to write a formula within WebI which blanked out all cells on any rows where the exceptions = 0.
I don't know if it was the cleanest solution available but it certainly seems to work. Hope I explained myself coherently.
Cheers,
Mike

Concatenate with Commas in Non-Blank Cells

I am concatenating last and first name cells in a pair of long columns. I do not want to display commas in the non-blank cells when extending the formula down the sheet. On the web I found a formula which almost works: =C7&IF(B7="","","
"&B7) .
But, I need to put a comma between the last and first names. So, instead of "Smith Hal" it would read "Smith, Hal". Please advise.
PS, An alternative would be to delete the commas from blank cells in the concatenated column from earlier today. But, Excel does not see them for some reason and will not allow me to replace them with nothing. Is there a way to do this en masse?
Thanks.
Doug in York PA
Douglas R. Eckert

I stumbled upon the solution. Here is my note to myself for future reference.
COMMAS in CONCATENATE BUT NOT IN BLANK CELLS – FORMULA
To concatenate a long column of names (last, first) without leaving extra commas in the blanks cells use the following formula:
=C7&IF(B7="","",", "&B7) .
Please close this question.
Thanks.

Hyperlink open up a new web browser

Hello,
I have a Logo that I have hyperlinked to a webpage. I need to have it open up a new Browser Window instead of changing the page the Logo with Hyperlink is on.
Any tips on how I can make a Logo with a hyperlink open up a new web browser?

I just downloaded Acrobat XI and do not have this orange Hyperlink button. The only hyperlink tool I can find is the Add or Edit Link button. I am a teacher for an online school who is creating PPT presentations that I convert to PDFs, and upload them for my students. When my students open the instructional PDF and then click on a link, it takes them away from the PDF instead of opening a new browser window. They are very limited computer users, and I need a way to make this work! I've already tried putting in the target=blank code and haven't gotten that to work either. Can you offer any help?

How to Avoid Errors in Max Function When Data Contains Blank Cells

I have a column with duration values. However, it also contains some blank cells. These "blank cells" have formulas in them, but as the cells they reference too are blank the formula doesn't produce a result.>/p>
I want to get the max value from this column. When I simply do =MAX(column-name) I get an error, presumably because some of the cells are blank. This table is going to be highly dynamic, so I don't want to limit the range of the MAX() function to only those cells with values.
So does anyone know a solution for this, please? If I was some how able to create a formula which returned the range of cells with actual values, then I could use that in the MAX() function. Or, if I could somehow tell the MAX() function to ignore blank cells, but I'm not sure either of these are possible.
Thanks,
Nic

I don't see a problem with "blank" (null string) cells mixed with duration cells. MAX works fine with this mix of cells. But if the "blank" cells are numbers, not text, that gives an error.
A formula always produces a result. A formula cannot result in a blank cell. The closest you can get to "blank" is a null string (the result of two quotes next to each other with nothing between them) . So the question is, what is the result that you are calling "blank"?

Keep Auto Fill Down A Column With Blank Cells

Hello,
I understand if one blank cell is left, auto fill cannot continue through out the rest of the column.
Is there a way to "trick" the cell into thinking there is information in the blank cell, in order for it to continue to auto-fill?
Please help

You could enter a space in a cell - it will appear to be blank. An apostrophe will work too - this makes the cell contain an empty string value.

Really blank cells...

I have a strange problem in my excel data. I don't know if I can upload a sample workbook, in the meantime I try to describe the problem.
In my database I have a column (formatted as text) with many blank cells. The problem is that, for unknown reasons, some of these "blank" cells are not really blank. At the moment, there are 1004 records total (this is not important, it's just
to use actual figures): if I filter with the regular excel filter (the one on top of the column), selecting all values EXCEPT blanks, I get 374 records selected. If I use the function COUNTA, I get 395 records; if I use the function COUNTBLANK I get 630 records.
Since 395+630 is 1025 and the records are only 1004, this makes little sense to me: some records are counted twice, once with the blanks and once with the non-blanks.
I noticed the problem because the pivot table based on the database and counting the non-blank records related to that column was giving the wrong results as well (I KNOW that 374 records is correct). Comparing the results of the filtering and of the
pivot, I was able to isolate the "wrong" records: canceling the cell contents in the column in these records, the pivot table and the functions give the correct results. In those cells there seems to be something, but I don't know what that is:
1) if I apply the function CODE to one of those cells, I get #VALUE?;
2) If I apply the function LEN, I get 0 (zero)
I assume that this means that there is absolutely nothing there.: so what are COUNTA and the pivot table counting?
I apologize if I am not being clear: this problem is driving me crazy, because the pivot table are the basis of all statistics I need on the database. Thanks in advance for any suggestion
Robert, Italy

OK, in the meantime I discovered something else. Let me try to explain. The user of my amateur VBA code can select to add a new entry or to modify an existing entry, via user forms. In the second case, the user form if filled with the contents of the selected
record fields, the user changes what is needed and the contents of the user form fields are written back to the database. Now, suppose that the field in the database corresponding to the column I mentioned in my post is empty. It is (correctly) NOT counted
by the pivot table. Now the user changes something else in the form (NOT that field, that remains blank): when the data are written back to the database and the pivot is refreshed, voilà: wrong number, one item more counted. Canceling the field in the database,
the pivot count is back to normal.
What I did was to apply your suggestion to the database field (range of 1 cell only) right after having written it back to the database:
.Cells(rowno, 24) = Me.TextBox4
.Cells(rowno, 24) = Application.Clean(.Cells(rowno, 24))
Unfortunately, it does not work. The pivot table gives the wrong result. BUT the only way I found to "solve" the problem is to clear the cell with clearcontents, equivalent of Cancel in VBA:
.Cells(rowno, 24) = Me.TextBox4
If Len(.Cells(rowno, 24)) = 0 Then .Cells(rowno, 24).ClearContents
This works, but it does not make any sense to me: What am I clearing if there is nothing there? Or what is there is a kind of ghost, of zero length but that is detected by pivot and COUNTA?
Add two other mysteries:
1) the field is counted by COUNTBLANK AND COUNTA: so is it blank or not?
2) if the user adds a new entry and leaves that field blank, nothing strange happens.
For the moment, i'll stick with this correction, but not understanding what is going on makes me unconfortable. Thank you for your attention.

Crosstab - blank cells

Hello!
I want to create a crosstab report that does not have any blank cells when I export to Excel. When I create the crosstab, it automatically does what looks like a group sort. When I export this to excel, there are a lot of blank cells that need to be filled in. How can I make Discoverer fill them in for me, without using a table format? So that when I export to excel, I can create a pivot table from the data?
Thank you!
Megan

Megan,
I don't know what kind of work you are doing. But, keep in mind that de crosstab in Disco. alerady is a pivot table. So, probably you not need to export the data to Excel.

Insert subtotals in blank cells in Excel

I just completed a complicated exercise where I expanded upon an existing table using VLOOKUP. My next step was to insert subtotals in each of the new columns of the modified table. But, the original subtotals in the original table
were text, not formulas. So, I had to insert new subtotal formulas in each cluster of the table. This was time-consuming, because each grouping contained a different number of rows.
Q: How could I have instructed Excel to insert subtotals quickly for each set of rows in the new table, without having to enter a new range of cells in each formula? The subtotals would have to land in the blank cells underneath each cluster
of data.
Doug in York PA
Douglas R. Eckert

I'm not quit sure what's your table looks like.
If you want to excel insert a formula to the blank cells under each cluster of data. You may need to use VBA code to achieve that, otherwise I don't think excel will be so smart that can insert formula automatically.
And how is it time consuming to enter the formula? since you have said they are all formatted as table, you can take advantage of the column names in the formula.
Maybe you can share your file with us, meanwhile if you hope to find some VBA code to achieve it, you can post your question to the forum for Excel Developer:

How to autofill blank cells in an entire document?

Is there a way of filling blank cells in the entire document, not just surrounding cells as the fill-function works? In other programms you search " " and fill (replace) it with "0" for example. Doesn't work with the Find/Replace function in Numbers.

A cell containing " " (a space) is not a blank cell.
When cells contain this string, the Search / Replace tool behaves flawlessly and replace the spaces by the wanted string.
To fill the blank cells, I know only one soluce : AppleScript.
Here is a script doing the trick.
--[SCRIPT fillblank_cells_withclipboard]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : fillblank_cells_withclipboard.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner la cellule en haut à gauche de la zône à remplir.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir fillblank_cells_withclipboard.
Le script remplit les cellules vides de la zône définie avec la valeur extraite du presse-papiers.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script: fillblank_cells_withclipboard.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select a cell which is at top left of the range to fill?
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose fillblank_cells_withclipboard
The script will fill every blank cell of the defined range with the value extracted from the clipoard.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
