Adding Summary Fields

Good Morning Everyone,
We would like to add summary Fields.
1)
Double click on the Data Model icon on the Object Navigator
Click on the Summary Column tool on the Data Model Editor's left hand toolbar
Double Click on CS_1
and so on
2)use SUM at Report Wizard :
After researches, we founded Creating summary / formula columns in data model does not show them in paper layout. We learnt the report wizard, and choose to display the summary / formula column in one of the steps.
Following Report Wizard and will see SUM option;

We have hard time in both ways.
If you have experience in Adding Summary Fields, please share with us.
Thank in advance,
NY

Your screen shot shows that you have nothing selected as a summary. So, there is nothing to display in the layout. What is your exact problem? The available fields don't look like you can SUM them, so the option is not available.
we founded Creating summary / formula columns in data model does not show them in paper layoutIf you add them later on, you can manually add them in the layout.

ERROR while adding summary field in group footer

Hi all,
i am using CR Server XI R2
i am trying to a subtotal in a group header using the code below
fieldobjCls = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.FieldObjectClass();
            fieldobjCls.Kind = CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ReportDefModel.CrReportObjectKindEnum.crReportObjectKindField;
            fieldobjCls.FieldValueType = CrFieldValueTypeEnum.crFieldValueTypeInt32sField;
                   fieldobjCls.Name = "Count";
            fieldobjCls.DataSource = "Count({CSP_PROCESS_REPORT.userid})";
                  fieldobjCls.Left = 1000;
            fieldobjCls.Top = 700;
            fieldobjCls.Width = 1000;

            rcDoc.ReportDefController.ReportObjectController.Add(fieldobjCls, boSection, -1);
as a result i am getting the error as
Cannot find the section in the group area pair of the summary field.

Try adding the summary field in the Report Designer first, then do the same steps in code. If it doesn't work in the deisgner it won't work in code.

Ordering of formula and summary fields - Reports6i

Hello,
I want to know if it is possible to make certain order of field (XML tags) in XML.
If I have ordinary field that I get from SQL I can put it in the place that I want it to be and position in xml is OK, but when I put formula or summary field on certain place in xml file it is always on last place.
For example:
I have sql with 3 fields (one, two, three) and two formula fields (fo1, fo2). In report they are in this order:
1. one
2. fo1
3. two
4. fo2
5. three
but in xml file I get this order:
<body>
<edp:bodyContent>
</one>
</two>
</three>
</fo1>
</fo2>
</edp:bodyContent>
</body>
and I wish to have this order in xml:
<body>
<edp:bodyContent>
</one>
</fo1>
</two>
</fo2>
</three>
</edp:bodyContent>
</body>
Is this possible and if so how?
Thanks for your help

Finally, I got the fix.
Here is what I did: Instead of the format mask '000' or '099' or '0nn' I used '000Y'
adding a Y supresses the extra space that is reserved for + or - sign. And supression need to be added at the end like I showed, not like 'Y000'.
Now my data looks like this, which is what I wanted:
04/23/20120020123.451234.5610/24/2008
If you look close, there are no spaces now as compard to my previous data line.
Thank you all both for spending some time and giving me pointers.

Reports Developer V9.0.2.0.3, problem when adding sum field

My report stops working as soon as I add a summary field to the first query. Not even using it yet, just adding it, and closing the report (.jsp) and then opening it again. I have been trying to debug this problem for a couple of days now. This is how I found out the problem occurs after adding the summary field.
I get the message "REP-0002 Unable to retrieve a string from the Report Builder message file."
Then, I look at the report. There is no layout, everything in the data model view is molded together. VERY STRANGE.

Try using .rdf rather than .jsp to save the report. This may get around your problem unless you're using the websource. You could also try saving to XML and make sure that loads/saves correctly.

Added new field to cube but data not passed from DSO

Hope someone can help.
(BI 7.0) We added new fields into a cube. The fields already existed in the DSO. When we ran the process chain in development for the first time after making this change, we notice that the 'historical' data for these fields is populated in the cube. When we do this in our quality system only new data passed to the cube is updated. In development in the sub-chain DTP request we see all previous requests listed under selections. In quality it is only the latest request. The only difference is that the DeltaInit flag in the DTP request in development is ticked (extraction mode) - but not in quality. Does anyone know whyb this is?

hi peter,
Adding fields to cube doesn't affect delta status...The delta DTP should be able to handle delta requests automatically.
I guess in you quality system, the cube already got all requests updated from ODS before you importing the change request. And in develop system none of the requests in ODS were updated before the change.

Frank

Report Performance - Summary Fields Setting

I have a report data model with 3 groupings. Summary fields are needed for each group. There are 2 approaches for me to have the summary values :
1. i can set the data source of each summary field to be the corresponding column of my based Q_1 selection statement, and then set the "Reset At" for different data groups.
2. On the other hand, i can set the data source to be the summary field of the inner data group.
Could anyone tell me which method can give me a better performance? I want the report to run faster.

Puvan,
I figured out the problem myself. It is not a version issue.
I was using a sum function on a decode expression in the sql command. The % total was applied on that sum expression. Every time I was reopening the report the sum expression was getting created in a new group.
When I gave an alias for the sum(decode(xyz)) expression it is working fine now.
I would still consider that as an issue with Reports Developer.
FYI...

Functions in Calculation and Summary Fields

Hi,
I'll give a bit of background to my situation before describing the advice I'm looking for here.
I am experienced Mac user and I have used AW a fair bit in the past, but since I've been working in a job which has Windows machines and uses a complex custom-written relational database for its main tool, I use it less often than I did, so I am a little rusty. It is the shortcomings of the complex relational database (which I do not have admin rights to) that has led me back to AW and its database module.
Essentially, I am a complaints investigator, and the relational database provided by my employer is used to keep track of correspondence and various metadata associated with the investigation of the complaint. However, although it is called a Complaints Management System (CMS), it does not help me manage my caseload very well. I've previously tried to create an Excel spreadsheet that would help me manage my work, but it is not a database (or I am not sufficiently skilled with Excel) and I cannot get it to provide me with what I want.
So, my problems.
I have complaints (cases) assigned to me to investigate. These cases have differing priorities, which means differing time limits for completion of the investigation. The priorities and time limits are set out below:
J (jurisdictional issues) - time limit = 1 month
D (discretion not to investigate) - time limit = 3 months
1 - time limit = 4 months
2 - time limit = 6 months
3 - time limit = 12 months
The priority field in my AW DB is currently a 'pop-up menu' field, but I could change this to another type if this would be advisable.
I have a date-type field in which I enter the date the complaint was received. I have an calculation-type field in which I calculate the age of the complaint using the function:
=(NOW()-'DateReceived')
This returns an age in days, which I input into a separate calculation field that divides the result of 'age in days' by 30, to give a rough approximation of the number of months old the complaint is (If AW has an equivalent to Excel's 'workdays' variable, I'd love to hear about it). This latter field is the one that I display in the main data entry view of the database.
Given the priority assigned to the complaint, and the age of it, I am either 'On Target' or 'Over Target' for completing the investigation.
Each month I have a meeting with my manager to review progress, and since the reports that can be extracted from the CMS are not very useful for this purpose, I want my AW database to help me generate reports that can form the basis of discussion in these meetings.
Part A of My Query
At present, I have a manually operated field, in the form of a pop-up menu, to indicate for each record (complaint) whether I am over or on target for completion of the investigation. I would like to make this a calculated field, so that the database keeps track of this for me automatically. Unfortunately, I'm either too dense, or not good enough with the syntax of AW functions, to be able to write a function which essentially does the following:
IF 'Priority'=1 AND 'Age in Months'<4 THEN 'On Target' ELSE 'Over Target'
- and then repeats that for the other priority possibilities. It seems likely that the 'IF' function is what I'm after, but I haven't been able to get the syntax right to combine 'Priority' and 'Age in Months' in the format spelt out in the AW help, which is:
=IF(logical,true value,false value)
Getting the syntax of one part of this function right would be a good start. However, I suspect that I have a larger problem, in that I have 5 priorities to measure against and I need the overall calculation (that produces the 'On Target' or 'Over Target' results) to report in one result field. This means nesting the functions that look at the 5 priorities and 5 age limits. I've tried and failed to get the syntax of such nesting right, so advice on this is doubly welcome.
Unfortunately, I have a sneaking suspicion that unless the answer is much more concise than I imagine it to be, there will be an additional problem: AW appears to have a character limit for the length of a function string in a calculation field which may be too short for my needs. If you think this is an issue but that it can be solved through the use of intermediate fields (which don't need to be displayed in the main 'data entry' layout), I'm happy to give that a shot.
Part B of my Query
Even if the problem above cannot be solved, and I have to manually enter whether a complaint is 'On Target' or 'Over Target', I have a separate but related question for the reports I have to present to my manager.
On these reports, I would like to have a summary at the top of the first page (in a grand-summary part, I assume) which gives a count of how many complaints are 'On Target' or 'Over Target' for each priority. Below that is a sub-summary part, ordered by the type of action that must next be taken in the investigation. (Getting that right may be a subject of a separate post at a later date.) The report must, of course, only report on those complaints that are still being investigated ('open complaints') and not those which have been completed ('closed complaints'). So, I need a function in a summary field which will present an accurate count of the number of open complaints that are 'on target' for priority J (with separate summary fields that do the same thing for priorities D, 1, 2, and 3), and a separate set of summary fields that will present a count of open complaints that are 'over target' for each type of priority.
It might look a bit like this table below, with figures from the summary fields populating the cells in the third row:
Priority
J
D
1
2
3
In / Out of Target
In
Out
In
Out
In
Out
In
Out
In
Out
Number of Complaints
My guess is that it is easier to have the summary field simply count all the complaints that are on or over target for a given priority, regardless of whether they are open or closed, since the report could be based on a saved search (match) which strips out all closed complaints. But if I'm off-beam with that idea, I'm happy to have another way of cracking this nut.
Many thanks in advance to any Community members that take the time to try and help me with this.
Andrew
PS Cross posted in AWUG forum too, if people prefer to answer there.

Hi Andrew,
Part A:
I've done some restating of the question, and distributed the calculations among several fields, not all of which need to be included on the visible layout. Other than formatting the Date fields and moving the 'Completed Date' field and its label, I've left this in the default "Layout 1" produced by AppleWorks.
Field List:
Priority: Popup menu with six items: 00, J, D, 1, 2, 3 Defaults to 00
TL (time limit in months): Calculation: CHOOSE('Priority',0,1,3,4,6,12)
Received: Date. Option: Automatically insert today's date (ie. Date Record created) (may be edited)
Target Date: Calculation:
DATE(YEAR('Received')+INT(MONTH('Received')+'TL')/12,MOD(MONTH('Received')+'TL', 12),DAY('Received'))
Remaining (Days): Calculation: INT('Target Date'+1-NOW()) (see revision below)
Completed: Checkbox. Set default value to Unchecked.
Completed Date: Date: Entered manually
OnTarget: Calculation: IF('Completed',IF('Completed Date'<'Target Date',"On Target","Over"),IF(INT(NOW())>'Target Date',"Over","On Target"))
The On Target field shows the current status of the case while still open, and the state on the closing date when it was closed.
Having done that, I was unhappy with the Remaining field continuing to calculate an ever larger negative number after the case had been closed. Hence this revision below:
Remaining: Calculation: IF('Completed','Target Date'-'Completed Date',INT('Target Date'+1-NOW()))
Shows the number of days remaining while the case is open, the days remaining at completion if the case has been marked Completed and the completion date entered.
Rsults (and some further formatting of the Layout) below.
Part B:
You will need Subsummary parts when sorted on Completed and on On Target. Fields can appear on a Layout only once, so each subsummary part will need a separate Summary type field for each field to be summarized.

Barry

I've added in a new field inside the ITAB internal table, but it wouldn't appear in the t_cat, only all the old fields will appear. What have i done wrong?

Hi
Facing similar kind of issue.. added one field to the existing internal table. This is not getting populted by the field catalog merge FM. Tried with the suggested solution also of running programs BALVBUFDEL,
BCALV_BUFFER_DEL_SHARED then logging off and logging in..
But the newly added field is not getting populated. Any suggestions would be of great help.

Adding new field to Remote Cube

Hello,
We have an existing remote cube that we are trying to add a new field to in 7.0. I've already added the field to the datasource, unhidden it, and tested it in RSA3. Now i'm trying to bring it into BW and add it to the remote cube. I right clicked on the source system under the data target and chose Replicate Metadata however the new field does not show up anywhere. What am i doing wrong? Does a remote cube work differently? How do i get my new field over from R3?
Regards,
TMS

That's the problem. The R3 field does not show up in the datasource in BW so it can be moved over to the transfer structure. As you know when you replicate metadata, the new datasource fields appear and can be mapped into the transfer structure. That is not the case for this remote cube. The new field is not there.

Adding new field to Customer master sales data area sales tab

Hello everyone,
I am new to module pool so seeking some help from experts here.
I have a requirement were in I have to add a new field to the customer master (VB02) sales area data sales tab.
I found that there is no screen exit.Is there any other way of doing it?
could you please provide me with a step by step procedure of doing it.
With Regards,
Karishma.

Hi,
How did you look for screen exit? Have you also tried it in BADI? 'Coz normally, adding custom fields to a standard screen has to be implemented in exits.
I haven't worked with VB* screens yet so I can not give you a some possible exits. But you can do some debugging. I think there's an available code in the net that searches for exits/screen exit (ask Mr.Google). You can also ask him how to search BADI in debugging mode. I remember it's TCode SE24 then look for cl_exithandler class, get_instance method. Then look for exit_name variable.
Hope this helps.

Adding new fields to the data flow

Hi,
I am currently planning to add some new fields in one DSO and map it (with info source) in the update rules.
Will adding new fields to Info source - Comm. structure affect all the update rules connected to it?
The info source is connected to multiple DSO.
(The data source is currently under enhancement for these fields). Once this is done, we have to replicate it to BW.
Thanks,
Naveen

yes.
Once the enhancement is done for data source in r/3 side, you will have to replicate the datasource in BW.
Adding new fields will deactivate the update rules. You have to map the same in update rule and activate the same.
This will require activation of transformations, update rules, etc for related DSOs. Try to find out the where used list for the DSO where you want to add the new objects. Then check each objects whether these are activate after the changes. If these are inactive, you will have to activate all the objects.

SRM 7.0 -Adding Custom fields in Contract Item screen at particular positn

Hi,
We have a requirement to add new custom fields in the Contract Item screen at required position, in Left and right side container.
We have tried the following methods but have not been able to achieve the same. Kindly help!
1) Added new field in Context through enhancemnt in the Details screen View of Contract , Binded the field to the field in structure INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_CTR and add the field to teh Layout - Using this method, The field is not saved to the table.
2) Added the field to meta data table /SAPSRM/V_MDF_IC - This is positionng the field on teh right container at the bottom. We want to position it on left side.
Kindly help to understand where we are going wrong.
Thanks in advance,
Regards
Prasuna.

Hi Prasuna,
Sorry ..You are right..I was looking at some other WDC related to contract data..It you map the CUFs to /SAPSRM/S_CLL_CTR_ITEM which has the include structure INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF_CTR then it should work fine.
If you do this, are you able to view the new fields on the screen?
you mentioned that you are not able to save the data to the table.
Include your fields in INCL_EEW_PD_ITEM_CSF as well because if you add CUF to any of those doc types, you also have to add those CUF to the global structure for CUF documents.
Also Check if you fields are there in structures BBPS_CTR_CUF_ITEM,BBPS_CTR_UI_ITEM and BBPS_CTR_ITEM.
Check whether you have implemented the BADI's like BBP_DOC_CHECK_BADI ,BBP_DOC_CHANGE_BADI and BBP_DOC_SAVE_BADI . check out the structures (whether they having the CUFS) used in those if you have implemented any of them .

Is there a limit to no. of summary fields that can be used in a cross tab?

Hi,
While creating a cross tab is there a limitation to number of summarized fields that can be used?
- The cross tab when uses 184 fields as summary fields leads to Crystal report application to crash at the time of export to excel.
- Tried with two Datasources: XML and excel
- If we reduce the number of summary fields used to 102 exactly, export works fine in excel.
- If 2 cross tabs are used each containing 92 summary fields(in order to show 184) export to excel works fine.
Please let me know if there is any such limitation which leads to CR application to crash when exporting in excel?
Thanks

Selection criteria are not applied to summary fields on group footers.

I wonder if anyone can help me with this problem. I am using Crystal reports version 11.2, and my data source is a Sql Server view.
The records on the view have a date field, and I have selected all records within a given date range in "Selection Formulas".
The records are then grouped, and the Crystal summary facility used to summarise number fields on the group footers.
So for example, if my view contains four records, one with field "amount" = 2, one with field "amount" = 8, one with field "amount" = 6, one with field "amount" = 3, but only the first two records are within the valid date range, you would expect to see the first two records listed out at detail level, then field "amount" summarised at group level, with a summarised value of 10.
ie ....                record1                      2
                       record2                      8
                       group level total         10
This works fine when I run the report using Crystal's "print preview" facility. However, when the report is run from within an application written in C#.NET, the selection criteria are not applied to the summary field, so you get ..
                       record1                      2
                       record2                      8
                       group level total          19
I tried putting the date selection criteria at both record and group level, but that did not work.
I googled the problem and found an article explaining that Crystal first performs the record-level selection, then it creates the groups and totals up any summary fields, and only then does it apply the group-level selection criteria, which can lead to problems like the one I have described above. However, since I have put my date selection criteria at both record and group level, I do not understand why I still get the problem.
In one report I got round this problem by creating a formula that returned zero if the record date was outside of the valid date range, and returned the number field to be summarised if the date was valid, then summarising that formula, instead of summarising the number field directly.
In other reports I created one formula to set a shared variable as zero, then another formula to accumulate it at detail record level, then another formula to display the variable at the group footer. In other words, I did not bother with the Crystal summary facility at all, but created my own summary facility.
While googling the problem to see what other people did in this situation, I noticed that most fixes used variations of the "shared variables and formulae" fix to get round the problem.
The problem is that I have lots of complex reports and it will take ages to replace the summarised fields with shared variables and formulae. The reports were initially tested with "Print Preview" so we did not notice this problem until the C#.Net application was ready to use them. And I can't believe that you are simply meant to ignore the summary facility and re-invent the wheel by doing it all manually.
Please tell me that there is something simple that I have been doing wrong!!! If I have not given enough information for you to answer, please let me know.
Thanks,
Anne-Marie
