BI Answers - need 2 compound layouts with tables with different columns

Hi,
I need 2 tables in the same report with different columns displaying. Is this possible?
I wanted to put them in their own compound layout and call each one with a view selector,
but it seems impossible to create a 2nd table with different columns in the one report.
Each time I try and replace one of the columns in the 2nd table with a different column,
a message appears saying the deleted column will be deleted from all views.
Many thanks for anyone's help.

As per my knowledge - your requirement can be done with Pivot view but not with regular table view.
We dont have exclude column - functionality in table view.
Else, instead of creating in same report create the req. with 2 separ. reports but place them on single dashboard in 2 sep. sections.

Difficult to achive the report layout with dynamic column names

I have a report layout as below.
So here the column names are dynamic.And each fixed row group has different calculations. I have a date parameter. If I select July 2013, then I need to show data from July 2012 to July 2013 with Columns(Jul-12, Aug-12...Jul-13). How to achive below layout
with dynamic columns?

Hi Sarayu_CM,
According to your description, you want to filter the records of prior year based on only one parameter selection. Right?
In this scenario, we can create two parameters. The first one is for user to select. The second parameter is based on the first parameter selection. We don't need to specify Available Values for the second parameter, but we should use expression to specify
Default Values based on the first parameter selection. Use the expression below:
=DateAdd("m",-12,FormatDateTime(Parameters!param1.Value))
Then we just need to apply a filter on the matrix/dataset to get the records which the date is between values in these two parameters.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best Regards,

Many to many join table with different column names

Hi have a joint table with different column names as foreign keys in the joining
tables...
e.g. i have a many to many reltnshp btwn Table A and Table B ..and join table
C
both have a column called pk.
and the join table C has columns call fk1 and fk2
does cmd require the same column name in the join table as in the joining table?
are there any workarounds?
thanks

HI,
No, the foreign key column names in the join table do not have to match the primary
key names in the joined tables.

BO xi 3.1 u2013 schedule a template for multiple reports with different column

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to BO, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to schedule a single template with different parameters for all reports in BO, or create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks!

Hi,
The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
For each column you would need to variable
v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
v_columnA would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
This might be more managable if it was done in the universe

Is it possible to create a Synonym with different column names

Hi,
I want to create a Synonym with different columns names (Columns not in original table) . I am not sure if this can be done . Any suggessions...
Thanks in advance....

Synonyms are not limited to tables. Accroding to the SQL Reference, a synonym is:
an alternative name for a table, view, sequence, procedure, stored function, package, materialized view, Java class schema object, user-defined object type, or another synonym.
In fact, synonyms are not even validated until they are used:
SQL> create synonym my_synonym for table_which_does_not_exist;
Synonym created
SQL> select * from my_synonym;
select * from my_synonym
ORA-00980: synonym translation is no longer valid

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
    for Example...
          if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
                    <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.

Amrita

Set operations & tables with different columns

I have a problem. I have 3 tables - Countries, Locations & Departments. I want to output the country_id and country_name from the countries tables for countries that have no departments. Locations has country_id and location_id columns and departments has location_id and department_id columns. All is in Database 11g. I can produce a table which gives me the locations with departments or without departments as follows:
select location_id from locations intersect select location_id from departments;
This gives me a list of locations with departments. Conversely I can get a list of locations without departments as follows:
select location_id from locations minus select location_id from departments;
However, to combine this output with the countries table I need to produce country_id in the output. However, when I try to add country_id to my code from above as follows:
select country_id, location_id from locations intersect select to_char(null), location_id from departments;
I get no rows found. I understand why. There is no intersection between country_id in locations and the null output from departments (where there is no country_id column). Alternatively, if I try as follow:
select country_id, location_id from locations minus select to_char(null), location_id from departments;
I get rows with every country_id whether they have departments or not. Again, I understand why. I am essentially subtracting nothing (the to_char(null) from departments) from the country_id column in locations and getting the entire country_id column as output.
How can I use set operations to produce the country_id column? I also do not want to show the location_id problem.
This problem is repeated when I try for the final country_id, country_name final output. The countries table has these columns. However, the locations table does not have the country_name column. It only has the country_id column. So a query such as this one:
select country_id, country_name from countries intersect country_id, to_char(null) from locations;
presents me with the same problem as above. The country_id column intersects nicely, but the country_name file does not intersect as it does not exist in the locations table. Again, how can I use set operations to produce the country_id and country_name columns.

Hi,
the method I outlined for you above should be fine. It doesn't matter that there are one-to-many relationships which may cause repeated output rows; set operations (except for UNION ALL ) always return distinct rows.
Can you do a query on the countries table, that shows all countries?
Can you do a query involving all 3 tables inner-joined, that shows the countries that are related to locations and departments? (Repeated rows are okay.)
Then you can do a MINUS, to get only the countries that are not related to departments.
If you get stuck, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), the results you want from tha data, your best attemptat a query, and a description of the problem (including the full error message, if any).

Passing data to different internal tables with different columns from a comma delimited file

Hi,
I have a program wherein we upload a comma delimited file and based on the region( we have drop down in the selection screen to pick the region). Based on the region, the data from the file is passed to internal table. For region A, we have 10 columns and for region B we have 9 columns.
There is a split statement (split at comma) used to break the data into different columns.
I need to add hard error messages if the no. of columns in the uploaded file are incorrect. For example, if the uploaded file is of type region A, then the uploaded file should be split into 10 columns. If the file contains lesser or more columns thenan error message should be added. Similar is the case with region B.
I do not want to remove the existing split statement(existing code). Is there a way I can exactly pass the data into the internal table accurately? I have gone through some posts where in they have made use of the method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table by passing the field catalog. But I cannot use this as I have two different internal tables to be populated based on the region. Appreciate help on this.
Thanks,
Pavan

Hi Abhishek,
I have no issues with the rows. I have a file with format like a1,b1,c1,d1,e1, the file should be uploaded and split at comma. So far its fine. After this, if the file is related to region A say Asia, then it should have 5 fields( as an example). So, all the 5 values a1,b1..e1 will be passed to 5 fields of itab1.
I also have region B( say Europe) whose file will have only 4 fields. So, file is of the form a2,b2,c2,d2. Again data is split at comma and passed to itab2.
If some one loads file related to Asia and the file has only 4 fields then the data would be incorrect. Similar is the case when someone tries to load Europe file with 5 fields related data. To avoid this, I want to validate the data uploaded. For this, I want to count the no. of fields (seperated by comma). If no. of fields is 5 then the file is related to Asia or if no. of fields is 4 then it is Europe file.
Well, the no. of commas is nothing but no. of fields - 1. If the file is of the form a1,b1..e1 then I can say like if no. of commas = 4 then it is File Asia.But I am not sure how to write a code for this.Please advise.
Thanks,
Pavan

How to join two columns between two tables with different column names

Hi
How i can join 2 columns with different names between the 2 tables.
Can any one please give solution for this.
Thanks
Manu

Hi,
basic understanding of joins:
If you want to join 2 tables there should be matching column w.r.t. data and it's data type. You need not to have same column names in both the tables...
so, find those columns which has got same values..

Layout with different resolutions

Hallo and good morning!
Once again I need some advice:
I have a program that is running on different machines with different resolutions.
Is it possible to avoid, that the layout is paning all around?
Best regards
Hilby
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hi Hilby,
No... that is currently a limitation of the layouts, where we try to adapt to each screen, but the objects and the layout may not fit into a different aspect ratio with a different number of pixels.
The aspect ratio is the most important, followed by the total resolution of the screen.
Some more information on aspect ratios is below.
In summary, DASYLab is unable to completely adapt the "Screen" layout for evey monitor size and resolution. If you want to have a fixed layout that does not completely occupy some monitors, then consider using a fixed size, like A4 or A3.
If you make something on a big monitor, 1600x1200 for example, and move it to a wide screen monitor,, 1600x900.
From my friends at Wikipedia
With computer displays, aspect ratios wider than 4:3 are also called widescreen. Widescreen computer displays were previously typically of 16:10 aspect ratio, now they are shifting to 16:9.
Until about 2003, most computer monitors had a 4:3 aspect ratio and some had 5:4. Between 2003 and 2006, monitors with 16:9 and mostly 16:10 (8:5) aspect ratios became commonly available

SSIS 2012 - Importing multiple files with different columns (where columns are stored in a table)

Hi everyone,
I have been tasked to upgrade an existing DTS package into an SSIS package.
The old package uses 3 tables.
Table 1) Has a list of file names
Table 2) Has a list of columns per file
Table 3) Is the data destination.
So what is supposed to happen is:
Step 1) the package should load the files into a resultset
Step 2) for each file in the resultset, the package should get the related columns
Step 3) the package should now map the columns to the destination table (variable column numbers here)
Step 4) the import should take place.
I have gotten to step 2 but am not sure how to dynamically map the columns to the destination table.
Any pointers anyone?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Tonyhektic,
What’s the nature of Table 2, does it only store the column names for each file? I don’t know how it is implemented in DTS package, however, in SSIS package, dynamic columns mapping is not supported. To work around this issue, we need to use Script component
to do the columns mapping. You can refer to Sorna’s script above or have a look at the following blogs:

Stuck - load the Excel file dynamically with different columns and worksheet names

I have a situation where I want to load the Excel file dynamically, and the excel file have different columns or even worksheet name. Any idea how I could
approach this? I believe there's no way to modify the meta data (specifically the mapping) in the data flow.

Hi Chimumu,
The SSIS stock adapters don't supporting dynamic column mapping, to achieve your goal, you need to use Script Task/Component to read the Excel sheet name and the columns in the worksheet, and then map to the output columns of the script component. You can
also refer to the following blogs:

Mailboxes with different column headings

This question was somewhat covered in 2006-2007 but not recently. I would like to set different column headings for certain mailboxes in Mail. I understand that the Inbox folder keeps a "logical" set of columns (From and not To, for example). The folder Sent also behaves the same. But I have organized most of my Received messages in a folder which then has subfolders for each company or person or sets of persons. I also organized my Sent messages in separate into a Mailbox called Sent Messages with appropriate subfolders/mailboxes. I would like to keep all of the Mailboxes that "receive messages" with certain columns (such as From and not To) and the "sent messages" with a different set of columns (To instead of From, Date Sent instead of Date Received, etc...). But I cannot do that in Mail 5.3 running on MacOS 10.7.5 . Is there a solution to achive these settings permanently?
Thanks for any suggestion.

Hello, I see this is an old post but is marked as solved. Did you find a way to do this? I've been looking for a way but to no avail.

To Select Data from Mutiple Table having different column name

Dear All,
I have 100 tables under one user Operation, each table has column containg the code of the Data Entry Operator, But name of the column in each table is different.
Can anyone give the script to run from SQL PLUS so the we can find the total entry of each D.E. Operator per month.
Thanks and Regards,
Manoj

Perhaps the UNION ALL operator is what you want.
SELECT data_entry_operator, count(*) AS qty
FROM(
SELECT de_oper AS data_entry_operator FROM a
UNION ALL
SELECT d_e_operator FROM b
UNION ALL
SELECT d_e_op FROM c
GROUP BY data_entry_operator;

SAME LAYOUT with different heading for invoice and service order invoice

Hi,
I need to use the same layout for printing both invoice and service order invoice. The layout should print the same data except the title should be changed accordingly ( invoice or service order invoice).
Please help me with this
Regards,
Anik

Hi,
It is not clear to me if you are working with sapscript or smartforms.
You have only to find a variable which identifies the kind of invoice
I do not know that variable so i use an example variable
for sapscript:
/: IF &VBDKR-FKTYP& = '1'
/ INVOICE
/: ELSE
/ SERVICE ORDER
/: ENDIF.
In a smartform you can also do something like that.
but There you work with conditions (eq, BOOLEAN)
You have only to find the right variable
success,
Gr., Frank
