Average no value in crosstab report (Discoverer Desktop)

Hello experts,
I have a crosstab report, and i want to use avg to a calculation field, but in crosstab i have no values and when i make drill down i have values under my group.
how can i solve this?
Edited by: user13062021 on 18-Feb-2011 07:44

I make this change to my values "nvl(<item>,0) but nothing happened. In discoverer plus the values are correct but in discoverer desktop the values are null.
Instead of this in analytical sheet i do not have null values to this column.
For your information,
in analytical sheet i have a calculation field with round and nvl functions, and i calaculate this field from the analytical sheet to crosstab sheet with an AVG() function, and cannot claculate.
When I first make this sheet the values in discoverer desktop are all correct, but on the other day when I make refresh to my sheet the values are null.

  • Showing zero values in crosstab report

    Hello.
    I have a crosstab report (in desktop) that is used as a raw data extract to populate an excel spreadsheet.
    In order for this to work without having to adjust the spreadsheet every time the columns have to be the same, each time it's exported across.
    However, when a particular column doesn't have any data for that month Discoverer doesn't show it, which means the columns that go across to excel are in a different order and the formulas are out of sync.
    I'm sure I've come across a setting to show all columns, including those with no data, but I can't find it and I'm starting to think I imagined it?
    Thanks in advance

    Hi,
    I'm sure I've come across a setting to show all columnswhat you described is no settings issue.
    its the data you have or actually don't have.
    the cross tab is dynamic display so that if you do not have data in the database it will not be displayed.
    however you can manipulate the table by adding dummy records to your table so that you will still see it,
    for example if you want to see a record for Jan-12 then add a dummy record for this month with every other columns as NULL or 0 (depends on your business logic).

  • Display null values in crosstab report.

    I have a crosstab that will be sparsely populated.  The datatype of the cells in the crosstab are numeric.  I would like to have the cells that contain no data to have no value, but Crystal Reports inserts a zero there instead.
    Is there anyway to tell CR that I want nulls to be treated as nulls and not zeros?
    Thanks.
    Regards,
    Thanh

    There is a Display String formula for fields, accessed by right-clicking the field and selecting Format Field.  This is used to tell Crystal exactly what should be displayed for the field.  Add the following logic (basic syntax):
    if CurrentFieldValue = 0 then
      formula = ""
    else
      formula = cstr(CurrentFieldValue, "0.00")
    end if
    This will cause all zero values to display as blank.  I added the "0.00" parameter to the cstr() function to show that's how you tell cstr() how you want the number formatted.  See the online help for cstr() for details.

  • How to hide one field in report [discoverer desktop ]

    i am using rownum column in cross tab(discoverer) report to avoiding group by data in the report.
    Now how to hide the ROWNUM Column in the report.
    plz reply me.

    Hi
    To add to what Rod and Russ have said, the white on white option actually has real uses and not just for suppressing a sorted item. It is a most useful technique that I use a lot to hide the intermediate row-level results of analytic functions, while just displaying a grand total. It looks cool too. If I find some time I'll make a posting on my blog although it probably won't be until next year - oh yeah that's only two weeks away isn't it?

  • Excel export of crosstab report in Discoverer desktop 9i not proper

    Dear All,
    I have made a crosstab report where I am taking the totals of the fig at all the datapoints. For this total, I have put the "Label" as &Value. When I run the report, it shows the correct output and correct values for the label field. But when I am exporting the report in excel, the label does not refresh for all the items properly. Instead it shows the Label for the very first set of data across all the itesm.
    Can somebody pls tell me the reason behind this?

    I am experiencing the same issue. has anyone got a solution to this issue? i dont really want to truncate the string if possible

  • Discoverer Desktop Report issue

    Hi,
    One of my user is facing a format issue while running the report in Oracle Discoverer 10g. The report produces the following out put.
    count(Col A)     Col B     Col C     Col D
    12          A     200709     12-Sep-07
    11          A     200709     21-Sep-07
    24          B     200709     11-Sep-07
    32          B     200709     13-Sep-07
    10          B     200710     15-Oct-07
    Col A is of number data type, Col B character, Col C is number and Col D is date
    if Col D is removed from the report, the user is getting the result in following format
    count(Col A)     Col B     Col C
    23          A     401418
    56          B     401418
    10          B     200710
    i.e. col C displays the sum of the value based in Col B instead of displaying it as 200709.
    but when I ran the report from my end I'm getting the result in a proper manner.
    count(Col A)     Col B     Col C
    23          A     200709
    56          B     200709
    10          B     200710
    Please help me in sorting out this issue.
    Environment Details:
    Oracle Discoverer Admin 10g(9.0.4)
    Oracle Discoverer Desktop 10g (9.0.4)
    End User Layer 5.0.2
    Thanks in Advance.
    Regards,
    SS

    @Himanshu3jul:
    I'm not using any Oracle Application secure views. Also, the data that are being displayed is proper if Col D is not removed. If user removes Col D, the result is getting aggregated based on Col B but for me it is showing in a perfect manner.
    @puppethead:
    I'm afraid I may not be able to the check the registry on user machine since user is sitting at a different location.
    @Rod West:
    The default Aggregate property for Col C is set to <none> and it is grayed out. I'm not able to change it too. Also, if it is a bug then I should get the result as what user receives but I'm not facing any issues in that report but only user is.
    Please let me know what can be done next to figure it out.
    Also, I have the screen shots from my machine and from user’s. if you think that it will really help then I can post it. please let me know where and how I can post it so that you can have a look at it.
    Thanks,

  • Report Layout difference in Discoverer Desktop and Discoverer Viewer

    Hi,
    A report was developed in Discoverer Desktop. It is having some 10 columns as data points. The summarized columns for those 10 columns are required. But only 3 columns should be displayed in Detailed Data Points. So we shrinked(brought together) all the unwanted columns keeping 3 datapoints displayed. Now it is working fine in the discovere Desktop. But when we open the same report in the Discoverer Viewer, all the 10 columns are displayed in the Detailed Data Points as well.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards
    Rakesh

    hi Michael,
    good morning..hope u had a good sleep.
    as per your last thought y'day, even though i create a function for the sum of season values n select those columns into the report, those will not be shown as summarized columns on right hand side of the report. they will be shown as datapoints for every month in that selected season.
    i think the only possible solution for like this report is to hide those unwanted columns. for this we have hidden checkbox option in tools->sort while developing. but this option is available only for tabular reports.
    if u come up with any fresh solution for the fresh day...i am glad.
    Thanks,

  • Parameter default value doesn't work in Discoverer Desktop 4i

    Hello,
    I have a parameter called 'Organization' in discoverer report.
    I want to set its default value to one organization from the list of values. I edited the parameter
    and selected that value from the list in the Default value field. But,when I run
    the report, it shows the recently used value for that parameter,
    instead of showing the default value.
    I have the same problem with all parametrs in workbooks in Discoverer.
    I am using Discoverer Desktop 4i (4.1.41.05.00).
    Is there anything i can do to make Discoverer show me the default value for the parameter every time i run the workbook?
    Thanks in advance!

    Thanks Rod!
    Unfortunately it seams that seting that p[reference doesn't work for my version of Discoverer.
    That option is introduced with version 4.1.43 and we are using version 4.1.41.05.
    I suppose i can't solve that problem on another way in this version of Discoverer Desktop..?

  • Discoverer Crosstab Reporting

    I created a simple crosstab in Discoverer that Sums all costs for two years and would like to find out the difference between the years. Is there a Discoverer formula or process that can handle that without having to export to Excel and do the anaylsis?
    Cost Center Year 1 Year 2 Difference between Year 1 and Year 2
    101 $500 $200 $300
    102 $200 $50 $150
    thanks,
    Steve

    Hi,
    No, this is not easy to do in a crosstab report because you will need an extra row to show the difference value. One option is to create a view at the database level which uses an UNION ALL to create the additional different row.

  • 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.

  • Oracle Discoverer Desktop Report output showing unicode characters

    Hi,
    Oracle Discoverer Desktop 4i version Report output showing the below unicode characters.
    kara¿ah L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
    We ran the same query in sql at that time the data showing correctly.
    Please let me know, is there any language settings/ NLS settings are need to set
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi
    Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
    language_territory.characterset
    Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
    So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
    The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
    AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
    Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
    a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
    b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
    c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_BIToolsHome_1
    d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
    e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
    f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
    f) Change the variable to the right setting
    g) Click the OK button to save your change
    h) Exit the registry
    Best wishes

  • USER UNABLE TO REFRESH DISCOVERER REPORT IN DISCOVERER DESKTOP 10g

    Dear All,
    HELP!!!
    A new user is unable to refresh discoverer Reports in Desktop. All priviledges have been granted to username in Disco Admin and Usre is able to log into oracle Apps.
    On the PC the user logged into someone else can log into Discoverer Desktop and run/refresh discoverer reports without any issues. Hence Ithink neither the PC nor the Discoverer installation is the problem.
    Can anyone help? What setup/profile needs to be completed in order for the user to be able to run Disco reports.
    Pls note that the following has been completed:
    1. Business Areas Assigned to user and his responsibilities.
    2. Desktop/Plus Privileges assigned.
    3. Allow administration - DISABLED - NOT TICKED
    Many thx
    DI

    Does this person just need to run reports? Or does this person also need to create reports? If the person just needs to run reports, try using Viewer for that person, rather than Desktop. This may be something that you need to log a service request with Oracle to get resolved. Pretty strange that can bring items into a new worksheet, but it won't run. Maybe there is an Oracle applications security issue (since logging in as another person does work)? You may be beating your brains out trying to find a Discoverer problem when it might be an application security problem. Though this is a wild guess on my part.

  • How to use Oracle OAB Fast Formulas in Discoverer-desktop [ for reporting]

    Hi,
    Can anyone tell me how to use a fast formula in discoverer-desktop [for reporting]. Currently, we have a disco-report that calcuates the 'monthly salary', but we don't want to use that. Instead, we have a custom fast-formula [xx_oab_monthly_salary] which has the conditions and calculations that we need.
    I want to use that formula in discoverer-desktop directly and get the monthly-salary.. i.e., someone needs to create a folder under the business area and add it i believe.. the formula internally calls a function.
    when i checked about this with my dba - he said, he can add the 'function', but not the formula. and i need to write the calculation part...
    does anyone know how to add it...there shud a way right...
    i do not have access to the technical-stuff here..
    someone said ["you can wrap the FF_EXEC.run_formula call into your own pl/sql function and map this function into the EUL so that the formula can be called from a workbook.", but this talks about pl/sql-do we need pl/sql
    for this].
    also, someone else said [ some fast formulas need specific contexts to be set. Depending on whether the fast formula below the only fast formula that you want to recreate in Discoverer.
    For a single formula, in general my recommendation is to recreate the fast formula instead of using the ff_exec call].
    any quick answers greatly appreciate..
    thx,

    Hi,
    That's right you need to develop the pl/sql function outside of Discoverer using a pl/sql tool or just SQL*plus. I haven't an example to hand, but can dig one up if you need it. Once you have the function developed you can map it into the EUL using Discoverer Administrator. It will then be available to Discoverer Desktop/Plus as a database function when creating calculations. So you can then just add the calculation to an existing or new report.
    Alternatively, you can build the pl/sql function into a view and load the view into a new folder using Discoverer Admin.

  • Error when running a report in Discoverer Desktop

    All -
    I run a report in discoverer desktop and got the following warning message: This sheet currently contains no data.
    I generated the query by using the sql inspector tool and run the query in the database and, to my surprise, it showed the correct records.
    I don't know what is causing this error.
    I checked all items (in discoverer administrator) that are used in by report and everything seems to be ok.
    Any idea?
    Thanks,
    Daniel.

    Hi,
    There could be many reasons for this, what is in the query you are running?. It could be a bug in your version, what version are you using? Does it happen with one workbook or all workbooks? It could be an NLS Language problem, check that the calculation USERENV('LANG') returns the language you are expecting in Discoverer desktop. It could be a problem with the context for your session, are you using an apps mode or database mode EUL?
