BI Report showing NULL for decimal numbers

Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.7.0
In an earlier version of BI we had an issue with our Reports where any numbers with digits after the decimal would return a blank result in the report (the correct numbers would still show up in the Data Model's sample data), but only when viewed as an Interactive report (PDF views were fine). However, after an upgrade it happened with any report views, not just the Interactive Report view. I found a work-around for this were I CAST each number column to Double Precision, and then it would show up fine. That worked for a few months, only now it doesn't work at all. After speaking with the system admin, I do no think any upgrades happened between when the CAST solution started working and when it stopped working.
Has anyone else witnessed this issue?

Okay, apparently the CAST solution is still working, just not when I use a SUM (have not tested other aggregates). Creating a sub-query like below, however, works:
SELECT CAST(result AS DOUBLE PRECISION)
FROM
SELECT SUM(col_1) AS result
FROM table_1

BI Publisher Report does not display decimal numbers

Hi,
I have created a one page BI Publisher Report. I generally take the .xdm and .xdoz files and send it to the client which they upload on their server. The report has been coming up fine until recently there was a glitch on the Client Server. Now the report does not show a a section which has decimal numbers. I can see it perfectly on my machine. I am extremely frustrated to search for a solution and client is not very helpful in providing the information what went wrong or what was the fix on their server. Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
DRL

If i am understanding your issue right i guess i have faced the same one while ago.
The solution for this one is, if you are on the latest patch or update, i am on July update
Go to
Administration--> manage Bi Publisher under Bi Publisher --> under run time configuration --> properties --> the last option on the list which is Use 11.1.1.5 compatibility mode true --> apply
now it should be working
Please let me know if it worked out and mark as correct if it have solved the issue
Thank You

Discoverer Report showing Null VS Show SQL query showing results !!!

I created a simple Cross Tab Discoverer report from a custom SQL which has a calculation for balances. The output is giving all null values even though there are balances. The output doesn't seem right. So I copied the query from Tools-->Show SQL and ran the query in the TOAD where I'm showing balances for the report. I don't understand why it is not showing in the discoverer. Please help.
Thanks

Sorry for late reply.
Below is the Show SQL query. I don't think the query is application dependent. C_1 is my calculation.

Discoverer reports shows 'NULL' in columns where is no data

Hi All,
Discoverer report is showing NULL in columns where is no data.
please advise ASAP.
E-biz: 12.0.6
Database: 11.2.0.2
Discoverer: 10.1.2.55.26
Thanks in advance.
Regards

In Discoverer BI DEsktop By default, it uses “NULL” text, but we can show Zero or blank then that report is executed as text report.
how can we set it as for all reports as default blank or zero.Have you reviewed the docs referenced above?
Please see these docs.
Discoverer 10.1.2/11g Worksheets Do Not Display Expected Null Format Setting After Modifying Tools Options [ID 311841.1]
Workbooks Show Wrong Null Format in Viewer/Plus After New Install or Upgrade from 4i to 10.1.2 [ID 352194.1]

Report showing vendors for particular material groups

I am trying to perform an analysis to determine vendors which have procured items for specific material groups. I have 64 different material groups which represent indirect materials and I want to be able to determine what vendors have been procuring these materials. I have run transaction ME2C to examine purchasing documents, however there is way too much information and the system cannot generate the list.
I was curious if there was some aggregate report that I could use in the Logistics Information System. I know the Purchasing Information System has Standard Analysis for Material Groups, however I have to drill down to each Material Group and change the breakdown by Vendor to get the list and this can be somewhat time consuming considering I will have to do this 64 times.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Don

use transaction MC$<
execute the selection
in the report choose from menu settings > characteristics display
and select either Key or Key and description
then choose from menu Material group analysis > Export > transfer to XXL

Sql Loader - Decimal numbers showing in null column

Greetings,
My apologies if this is in the wrong forum section. It seemed to be the most logical.
I have added new column to a control file used in a sql loader upload and I am getting unexpected results. Long story short, I copy foxpro tables from a network directory to my local pc. A foxpro exe converts these tables to .dat files. Sql loader then uploads the .dat files to matching oracle tables. I've run this program from my pc for years with no problems.
Problem now: We added a new column to a foxpro table and to the matching oracle table. This column in FoxPro in null for now - no data at all. I then added the new column to my ctl file for this table. The program runs, sql loader does it's thing with no errors. However, in the new field in Oracle, I'm finding decimal numbers in many of the records, when all records should have null values in this field. I've checked all other columns in the oracle table and the data looks accurate. I'm not sure why I'm getting these decimal values in the new column.
My log and bad files show no hints of any problems. The bad file is empty for this table.
At first I thought the positioning of the new column in the fox table, .ctl file and the oracle table were not lining up correctly, but I checked and they are.
I've double checked the FoxPro table and all records for this new column are null.
I'm not sure what to check for next or what to test. I am hoping someone in this forum might lend a clue or has maybe seen this problem before. Below is my control file. The new column is the last one: fromweb_id. It is a number field in both FoxPro and Oracle.
Thanks for any advise.

JOB_START date "mm/dd/yyyy",
JOB_END date "mm/dd/yyyy",
FROMWEB_ID)

I apologize for not explaining how this was resolved. Sql Loader was working as it should.
The problem was due to new fields being added to the FoxPro table, along with the fromweb_id column, that I was not informed about. I was asked to add a column named fromweb_id to the oracle jobs table and to the sql-loader program. I was not told that there were other columns added at the same time. In the foxpro table, the fromweb_id column was the last column added.
The jobs.dat file contained data from all columns in the foxpro table, including all the new columns. I only added the "fromweb_id" to the control file, which is what I was asked to do. When it ran, it was getting values from one of the new columns and the values were being uploaded into the fromweb_id column in Oracle. It is that simple.
When I had checked the FoxPro table earlier, I did not pickup on the other new columns. I was focussing in on looking for values in the fromweb_id column. When back-tracing data in the jobs.dat file, I found a value in the fromweb_id column that matched a value in a differnt column (new column) in FoxPro. That is when I realized the other new columns. I instantly knew what the problem was.
Thanks for all the feedback. I'm sorry if this was an inconvenience to anyone. I'll try to dig a little deeper next time. Lessons learned...
regards,

Sorting and null for monetary values in a report

All,
I think this should be an easy one, and I've just missed something obvious.
I have a standard report in APEX 3.2.1 that includes a column with a monetary amount in it. I want the column to show the UK Pound sign, be sortable, and show nulls where appropriate.
The issue I have is I can't find a way to achieve all 3 in a satisfctory way. As I see it the options would be:
1) In the SQL for the report, concat the pound sign to the column required, e.g. SELECT '£'||amount FROM....
The issue is that this makes this field a CHAR field, so sorting would not sort in the same way as for a number field.
2) Use the Number format FML999...etc. in the Column Attribute.
The problem with this is that this is a multi-country database, and the default monetary unit is set to the US dollar.
3) Use the HTML expression box in the Column attribute to display £#COL#
This fulfills the pound sign and retaining the number format, but unfortunately a null value is displayed as a £ sign with no numbers. I can't think how to get it to leave that value in the report as completely blank.
As I said, I'm sure I've missed soemthing obvious. If anyone can spot how to achieve this it'd be much appreciated.
Regards,
Jon.

The NLS currency symbol can be modified on the fly if you have some means of identifying user location/preference: {thread:id=990848} (ignore the last post)
However, it probably doesn't make sense to do that—£100 ≠ $100 (at least I hope not!)—unless there's some kind of conversion occurring in the report? Is there a currency stored along with the amount?

Use 2 columns, one for the amount, and one for the currency, with a switch to include or exclude the latter as necessary:
select
          ename
        , comm amount
        , nvl2(comm, '£', null) currency
from
          emp
where
          job in ('SALESMAN', 'MANAGER')
ENAME      AMOUNT                 CURRENCY
ALLEN      300                    £
WARD       500                    £

Cross Tab Report...Calculated Column shows NULL

Hi there
I have one calculated field which is based on some calculation when I run my report in Discoverer Desktop I can see the 0 in NULL values in all rows.
But when I run this report in Discoverer Plus/Discoverer Viewer it shows me Null for some values or some values I can see the zeros.
I have checked the WorkBooks options its all set to 0.0.
1)
Edit---> WorkSheet Properties ---CrossTab Format ---Show Null values as 0.0
2)
Tools---> Options---> Sheet--->Show Null values as 0.0
3)
I have settings in Pref.txt which means Some reports I want to see the NULL values...
Pref.txt
NullValue = "NULL"
Do you have any idea..
Thanks
ASIM

Well, I don't really have an idea what is happening, but i have a solution to hide nulls.
You can create an exception on the columns.
when column_name = Null then change the forecolor to match with the backcolor.
This will make the text and box of same color and will hide nulls.
Cheers :)

Post upgrade when we have tried to execute the P&L Report in the R12.1 instance we are not getting the output. FSG Reports (P&L and Balace Sheet) are showing null balances after the Application upgrade from 11.5.10.2 to R12.1.1
We have followed the note id 189282.1 and applied the patch patch 11792958:R12.RG.B
plus patch 10380225:R12.GL.B for 12.1 FSG drilldown on the R12.1 upgrade instance but no luck.
Please advise.
Regards
Mohammed.

It used to be in there (id 226635 is the last one with it); should I clean it up a bit and put it back with a bit more of a disclaimer?

Number of Page View is showing zero for Site web Analytics Reports

Hi,
We have enabled Site Web Analytics reports in our Site Collection but the Number of Page views is showing zero for all the dates. We have checked all the events to capture in Site Collection Audit settings, Reporting feature is also activated but still the
count shows 0 for all the dates.
There are other Site Collection that exists under that Web Application but they show the count for Number of Page views in Site.
Any help would be appreciated.
Regards,
Vijay
