About formula column in oracle report

I want the output value of the formula column in my report between two brackts ....ex: (28.99) ...can anyone give me the idea

Do u mean that brackets have to be appeared only when the value is +ve/-ve. then you need to use (9999) in the format mask of the property pallette of the text column. if you want to use the brackets for all the data, then the solution has been provided by many of our frnds.

Question about formula column

Trying to use formula column with an nvl. The problem is that if the record is not there the nvl will not work. How do I force the formula column to return something when the record is not there. Below is the formula.
function CF_1FORMULA0028 return Char is
myComments varchar(50);
begin
select nvl(erActRelData.VALUE,'') into myComments
          from      dpss_gdats.er_activity eractivity,
                              dpss_gdats.er_activity_relevant_data erActRelData,
                              dpss_gdats.er_activity_rel_data_name erActRelDataName
               where eractivity.er_case_id = :case_number
               and eractivity.date_created is not null
               and eractivity.ER_ACTIVITY_ID = erActRelData.ER_ACTIVITY_ID
               and erActRelData.ER_ACTIVITY_REL_DATA_NAME_ID = erActRelDataName.ER_ACTIVITY_REL_DATA_NAME_ID
               and erActRelDataName.NAME = 'Comments';
                    return myComments;
end;

Modify the last statement to
return nvl(myComments,'Null Value');

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 EXECUTION

Hi all!
I am using Report Builder 6i.
My report has several Groups (shown below)(that are user created, ie. not created due to the query).
Group_Organiser1
------Group_Organiser2
------------Group_Organiser3
-------------------Group_Organiser4
I have a Formula Column(FC) in Group_Organiser1. I want this FC to be executed only once, regardless of the number of rows included in/by the group. Hence, i want the FC to execute only when the value for Organiser1 changes (Eg. if there are 4 rows with Organiser1 = O1 and another 3 rows with Organiser1 = O2, I want the FC to execute only once when value changes from O1 to O2).
Currently the FC executes each time a row (that meets the grouping criteria, ie. 4 times for O1) is included in the group.
Hope this is enough information to solve this problem.
Eagerly waiting for any response...
Thank You.

Thanx Aguero for your reply but sorry to say it does not solve my problem.
I really need to control the number of times the FC executes because if it executes too early (or too often) it does not count all the people below Organiser1, hence i need it to execute just before the value for Organiser1 changes.
This is my 'program logic' for the FC:
-depending on who(hence designation) is retrieved below Organiser1, increment the User Parameters(UP) :AC, :DC, :MOMM etc (which indicate/represent the various designations).
-then when Organiser1 is about to change, using the non-zero UP return an output of the form "AC: 1, DC: 3, MOMM: 2"; and also reset the UPs to 0 (zero).
So, you can see that if the FC executes too early (or too often), the UPs are reset too early.
To give an analogy, my requirement (for the FC) is similar to 'Reset At' property of Summary Columns; my FC needs to Reset At/Execute only when Organiser1 changes.
(Another problem with what Aguero has suggested is that Organiser1 values are retrieved from the database so i have no way of knowing who is going to be retrieved.)
Thank You.

Export Oracle report formula column to XMLP

hi
i am thinking about exporting an rdf report to xmlp and i am worried about keeping my formula columns in the xmlpublisher report.
what is gonna happen to them ?
thx
Dan

If you are using Oracle Reports XML output as the datasource, the formula column will be in the XML, recognizable by the tag name. If you are using a data template to produce the datasource, the formula colum can be defined in the template.

Formula Columns are not working in Reports 10g

Hi,
We converted the reports developed in Reports 6i to Reports 10g. When we run the report in Reports 10g Builder everything works fine. But when we deploy the same report in Oracle Application Server and invoking the report the formula columns are not working ie., the fields/ placeholder columns which are based on the formula column are not displaying any values in the report.
Please, someone help us in this regard.

How to display a Sum field for a formula column?

Hi,
I need to display a sum for a formula column at the end of report. for example: my formu_col=col_1-col_2
col_1 col_2 formu_col
3 1 2
6 5 1
total:sum(col_1) sum(col_2) sum(formu_col)
now i have sum(col_1) and sum(col_2), but i don't have sum(formu_col)
thanks

Hi
You may add a summary column in the same data group that you have sum(col_1) and sum(col_2). In that properties of the new column point the source as formu_col.
Hope this helps.

Using PL/SQL in a formula column in Oracle Reports Builder.

Hi,
I need to SUM two record from the result of an SQL interrogation.
Here's what it looks like
function CF_1Formula return Number is
nTot1 NUMBER :=0;
nTot2 NUMBER :=0;
begin
     select sum(:TOT1) into nTot1 from table(Q1) ;
     select sum(:TOT2) into nTot2 from table(Q1) ;
     return (nTot1 + nTot2);
end;I'm kind of new to formula column programming any link of interest would be appreciated.
The from table(Q1) part Q1 represents my SQL interrogation name and the group below it is G_MAIN.

Hi Hong Kong King Kong,
From looking at that function name (and the group name): Is this an Oracle Reports generated function?
If so, there's also a dedicated Reports forum: Reports
By the way, I like your synonym for 'query'.
I'm sure I'll confuse some of my collegues tomorrow when I will mention 'database interrogation' instead of 'query'. ;)

Doh...I should not underestimate the information that is posted in thread subjects.

How to add a formula column in a report

Hi
I have made a report based on a query.
There are 3 columns in the query and all the 3 are displayed.
Now I want to add a new column (fomula column) to the report.
I want to write a query inside the formula column. To execute the query col1, col2 and col3 values are required in the formula column.
Could you please tell me how to add a formula column in the report and how to pass database column value to inside the formula column
regards

Here is how you would create a formula column:
Open data model of the report.
Formula column button is on the left side of the tool palette.
Click on that button.
Now click in the query group where you want to place the formula column.
You would see a new field something like CF_1. That is the formula column.
Double click on the field CF_1. It will open property inspector.
You would see, Datatype of the formula column is Number. Change this as per your requirement.
Double click on PL/SQL Formula property. It would open up a editor. Here you can write the code.
And now to access the data model column here, you can use : and column name. i.e. :col1 or :col2, etc
And remember you have to return the value back to the formula column. Like this: RETURN(some value).
You can also take a help from here:

Hope this helps.
