Total in Discoverer Plus

I have created a report in Discoverer Desktop Edition
(Version 4.1.44.00.00). The 'Person Code' column
has 'Count Distinct Total' and the total has been
displayed on the report. When I run the same report
in Plus (Release 4.1.44.00.00) the total shows a blank.
What needs to be done to correct this problem? Thank
you in advance.

Hi,
Try changing the aggregation behaviour in Plus by going into Edit -> Worksheet Properties -> Aggregation (Last Tab) and select the last 'Show the sum of the values displayed in the contributing cells', this suppresses the action and allows totalling on mixed item/aggregate columns.
Hope this helps,
PJ

  • Creating Total for Discoverer Plus 10 Cross Tab

    Hi Everyone,
    Any known issue in creating total for Discoverer Plus 10g CrossTab?
    My Total did not display any value when the there is more than 1 data to be summed.
    Anyone encountered this kind of problem before?
    Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks
    Regards,
    Angeline

    If attempting to calculate sum as total, try cell sum... If datapoints are a mix of detail and aggregates, try neutral aggregate for detail or better still seperate aggregate from group by items (e.g. in a cross tab worksheet, keep dimensions on the left hand side or page item and only aggregable facts in the datapoint area). Hope this helps.

  • Can't Display large total in Discoverer Plus

    I am trying to display a large total (billions) in Discoverer Plus, however instead of displaying the actual number it displays "#######################". The number I am trying to display is 1,234,567,890. Other totals display fine, however they are only in the millions, not billions.
    I am in Discoverer Plus so I can't change the cell/column size. I have also tried changing the font size to a much smaller size.
    Any suggestions?

    Thanks for the info John.
    I'm using Discoverer Plus and don't have Discoverer Desktop, although our admin does. If he makes the change on Desktop will the change be reflected on Discoverer Plus as well?
    I have tried a few different formatting changes in Discoverer Plus however my Discoverer Plus is down right now and can't get in to see if the change you recommended is available in Plus.
    Again, thanks for the help...it is much appreciated.

  • Total on Discoverer Plus

    I have a column of Total of all data poinst, and this total results ######## instead of the value in US$.

    Hi Daniela,
    Okay, I'm stuck... There must be some difference in settings between your installation of Viewer and Plus, or a difference in the workbook. The only thing I can suggest now is to find that difference.
    Anyone else any suggestions?

  • Totals not showing in Discoverer Plus - Urgent please

    Hi there,Thanks to all for helping on questions and sharing thoughts.
    I got a question from user in Discoverer plus, this is an urgent need.
    Actually they built report in Plus in Production based on 2 folders with few conditions and all, everything working fine and getting data.
    on one column in the report they need Total mean they used Sum but it is showing only lable not the value, like Sum:
    Even we tried Cell Sum, no luck, also I tested format of data and changed to NUMBER datatype, SHOW NULLS AS to 0,
    And also created calculation to avoid nulls like case statement if it is null then '0' otherwise that value and did Toal on Calculation column, still not working.
    I've seen in Disco Admin Dev/QA, that there is joins between these folders and i regarding getting data is not an issue from user I guess.
    Can anyone guide me or point me on this that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance,
    skat

    Thanks for your response on this,
    I didnt get you, can you explain in brief.
    See to avoid null values I created calculation and used case statement.
    When I create total using SUM or Cellsum funstions it is not giving data it is giving only the label.
    one more thing this is, actually I saved that report on myid and was trying to play and when I try to keep only that column it gave me the result if i add other columns from other folder again getting the same issue.
    Any ideas or thoughts on this please.

  • Discoverer plus running totals

    hi,
    any help will be appreciated.
    I use Oracle discoverer plus. recently I tried to build a running total (average) calculation using the template provided. I defined 10 previous observations for this purpose. discoverer performed the calculation but the problem is with the first 9 (in this case) observations of the new calculation, because it averaged the first first observation, than the first two, than the first three and so on. when you get to the tenth observation it becomes correct, but you can imagine it is problematic, especially the graphic presentation. if I could present the graph only from the tenth observation and on it would be an acceptable compromise. any other suggestions are welcome too.
    Thanks.
    Mark.

    Hi,
    I am afraid it is not at all clear what you are trying to do here. If you think of your results as a table of data do you want your calculation to be the same for all rows, a group of rows, or a running calculation changing for each row. Any graphical representation must be based on this underlying data.

  • Discoverer Plus 10gR2 not show data when the script of view have package

    Hi my friends.
    I have a problem with discoverer plus, I don't know is a problem or I'm doing something wrong.
    I have a four views, the views containg in the SELECT stament and WHERE clause packages, example:
    SELECT d.price,
    d.total,
    d.min,
    d.mx,
    TO_CHAR (SYSDATE, 'q') quarter,
    d.fid,
    k_xdcd_qry.f_xdc_obt_price (d.prod, d.id) --> package
    k_xpxpd_qry.f_xpeds_salary_ca_u (
    d.prod,
    d.id) xp --> package
    FROM px_prices_proc c,
    xp_sla_max d,
    xmp_sla_puc b
    WHERE a.prod = b.prod
    AND a.id = b.id
    AND a.prod = k_xps_tools.f_obt_prod --> package
    When I used the views on discoverer plus for construct the report, when execute the query not show data.
    Appreciate it if you could help or tell me I'm doing wrong or does not support Discoverer Plus package execution.

    Hi Tux,
    This appears to be a grant issue. Apparently, you have granted execute with respect to this package to the EUL owner or the view would not have compiled. If you have not given EUL owner the grant option, I would recommend doing this as well.
    This appears to be an Oracle APPS EUL (tell me if I am wrong). If this is the case, it goes without saying that APPS will need to be granted the execute privilege.
    Also, by default, a stored package executes with the privileges of its owner. If your custom package was designed this way, are the objects which it references received the appropriate grant? I assume you tested this, but I am concerned that the line, a.prod = k_xps_tools.f_obt_prod, in the where clause could be resulting in the Null set being returned.

  • Is Discoverer Plus compatible to the Microsoft Excel 2007?

    Hi,
    I have a Discoverer Report in which the data is formated with Bold,underlines, $ signs and different background color for the grnad totals etc..
    When i export the data to microsoft excel 2007 i loose all the formatting. Microsoft Excel 2003 did not had this problem.
    Is Microsoft Excel 2007 is compatible with Discoverer Plus? Do we have any Patch which will resolve this issue?
    Please advice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Is Microsoft Excel 2007 is compatible with Discoverer Plus?Yes,it is compatable with discoverer and we are also using office 2007
    Do we have any Patch which will resolve this issue?there is no patch required for this and it doesnt deal with patches.Do check out with your admininstartor installed office properly or not.By the ay did you install full version which is licensed or the crack version.I dont think so crack version works out.

  • Discoverer Plus returning no data and IDL:DCCORBAException:1.0. Desktop OK

    We are attempting to create a worksheet in Discoverer Plus. It is based on two tables joined with an outer join. We select 1 field from the master table, then 6 fields from the detail table. The query runs OK (we have no conditions, sorts, calculations nor totals).
    When we attempt to add a 7th field from the detail table and run the query, Discoverer Plus displays the error message 'IDL:DCCORBAException:1.0' and the results region says 'No Data'.
    If we build exactly the same worksheet with Discoverer Desktop against the same EUL, the query runs OK and returns the expected data. I've experienced this problem before and solved it by deleting the detail folder and re-creating it. (We are using custom folders). After this the query ran OK in Discoverer Plus and returned the expected data.
    Has anyone else come across this? Do you know what causes it and/or any better method of solving it?

    I'm wondering if this has anything to do with the default position (and default aggregate) for the EUL folder item? I can see that some of the folders have number type items with default position 'Data Point' and others have these with default position of 'Top or Side'. I'm totally stabbing around in the dark here; looking at EUL folders which exhibit the problem and those which don't.
    I've tried changing one field to 'Data Point' and it hasn't helped. Will try changing the join items now I think.
    If anyone has any comments, would be v. grateful as I'm looking at dropping folders which have quite a bit of code around them and trying to re-create them exactly, which is a risky and horrible solution.

  • Discoverer plus  report does not sum up the column

    Hi All,
    I am running the discoverer report from discoverer plus (web version) and was
    trying to use the sum function to sum the total amount of the report.
    The sum function does not work and it only display Cell
    Sum: (blank) with no actual data.
    When i checked the report details some columns are calculated based on the columns which i want to sum up.
    My query uses CASE function to calculate one of the columns.
    I changed the aggregation behavior setting to "Show the sum of the calculated values from the contributing cells "
    then also i'm not able see the totals.
    Any ideas please share with me.
    Thanks in advance,

    Hard to answer your question without seeing what you are trying to do. Issues like this are often better reported to Oracle support, where they can get a web sesison going and be able to see what you see on your computer. Would be helpful to illustrate exactly what your detail looks like and how you are trying to create your sum. There could be several possible issues that could cause your problem, so all I can do is speculate some. Are you trying to sum one column, or are you creating multiple totals (for multiple columns)? Do you have any rows in the column with a NULL value? NULL values will be a problem when trying to sum up a column. You would need to convert the NUll value to something else, probably a zero. That would be the first thing I would look at. Hope that helps a little bit.

    can anyone guide me onthis exactly how it works or is there any other way to accomoplish it that would be great.
    Thanks in advance,
    skat

    Hi,
    You need to use analytic functions to calculate running totals. So, for example, the calculation SUM(A) OVER (PARTITION BY B ORDER BY C) will first group the rows in partitions using column B then sort the rows using column C, then calculate a running total by taking the sum column A from the start of the partition to the current row. The rows may then appear in any order in the report, unless you use a sort in the workbook definition.

  • Calculate profit at row level in Discoverer Plus

    HI,
    I need to calculate profit at row level in Discoverer Plus as follows.
    There are columns
    1)     Account Name- Contains Expense and revenue account names
    2)     Account type- Contains Identifier for account (E or R)
    3)     Amount --- Contains amount
    4)     Period     Name -- Contains Numeric Amount.
    Cross Tabular Report Look like as follows
    Period Name          Feb-2009     Mar-2009
    Account Name
    Total Revenue          100          90     
    Total Labor Cost          30          30     
    Total G&A Cost          20          50
    Profit               ???          ??     
    Need to show PROFIT =Total Revenue- (Total Labor Cost- Total G&A Cost)
    at bottom for each period.
    I am unable to use calculations because it appears column wise…
    Would you please suggest solution for this?
    Thanks,
    Mahesh.

    Hi
    Try dragging the data point headings off the top axis and place them to the right of the Account Name. They will all drag together so just moving one will move them all.
    If your profit is already calculated and is a data point as you have commented then it too will come over to the left. For displaying it under the other items, a really cool feature about having data points on the left is that you can drag their heading and place it anywhere you want. I will be including this trick in my free March ask Michael webinar. (By the way, if anyone reading this thread you can sign up for my free webinar by clicking here: http://ascbi.com/question.htm)
    You should now be able to display your calculated profit as a row underneath the other items. I tried this on my own system and it worked just fine.
    Best wishes

  • Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

    As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
    Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
    Regards,
    Brajesh

    Pretty hard to answer a question like this.  Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out. 

  • Export to EXCEL 4m Discoverer Plus/Viewer doesnt retain Header Formatting ?

    Hi,
    I am trying to export reports from Discoverer Plus and Viewer to XCEL

    i.e the export to HTML is retaining the format but it is putting the heading into multiple cells..there by making it look bad when opened in Excel.

    Is there anything we can do about it ??

  • How to open a defult workbook from Discoverer Plus

    Hi all,
    Is it possible in Discoverer Plus for a user to open a pre defined worksheet in a workbook when he logs in without having to select the workbook and then select the worksheet?
    Please advise how to achive this.
    Any help will be greatly appreciated.
    Thank you all.
    Yjk

    Hi Yjk
    This is possible but you will have to alter the URL call to do it and add the workbook name to the end of the URL.
    You can use either the names of workbooks and worksheet or unique IDs of workbooks and worksheets. Using unique IDs is easier and helps avoid encoding problems with long names. Unique IDs are language independent. The following are the URL parameters to use while working with workbooks and worksheets.
    Discoverer Plus Relational:
    Workbooks:
    opendbid=<workbook ID>
    opendbname=<workbook name>
    Worksheets:
    sheetid=<worksheet ID>
    sheet=<worksheet name>
    Discoverer Viewer:
    Workbook:
    wbk=<workbook ID>
    wb=<workbook name>
    Worksheet:
    wsk=<worksheet ID>
    ws=<worksheet name>
    Discoverer OLAP:
    Workbooks:
    workbookname=<workbookname>
    Worksheets:
    sheet=<worksheet name>
    Note: Discoverer Plus OLAP uses only workbook and worksheet names.
    Examples below:
    How to Find the Unique IDs of Workbooks and Worksheets
    To find the unique ID of a workbook, use thie workflow:
    1. Launch the Open Workbook from Database wizard
    2. Right-click the workbook name
    3. Select Properties.
    The value of the Identifier field indicates the unique ID of the workbook.
    Alternatively, when the workbook is open, select File | Workbook Properties.
    To find the unique ID of a worksheet, use this workflow:
    1. With the worksheet open, select Edit | Worksheet Properties
    2. The Worksheet Properties dialog box opens.
    3. Click the General tab.
    The value of the Identifier field indicates the unique ID of the worksheet.
    The following URL starts Discoverer Viewer and opens a worksheet with the unique ID "156", which is present in the workbook whose unique ID is "MONTHLY_SALES". The connection ID used is "cf_a101".
    http://<machine.domain>:<port>/discoverer/viewer?cn=cf_a101&wbk=MONTHLY_SALES&wsk=156
    If the connection that is used here is a private connection, the user will be prompted for the password.
    In Plus, the same command is:
    http://<machine.domain>:<port>/discoverer/plus?cn=cf_a101&opendbname=MONTHLY_SALES&sheet=156
    Does this help?
    Regards
    Michael
