Blank column in a chart

Hi gurus,
I'm trying to insert a blank column into a column chart because the columns of different measures are together.
I tried to insert a blank serie and it works, but if I show the legend, I have a blank value into the legend and I can't hide it.
Any ideas?

Hi Javier:
    Try following:
    There are two column chart overlapped. First chart binds to all series. Second chart binds to the same series but then remove one series which will filled with blank values at run time.
    1. Do formula in the excel, hide the first chart when the column data is filled with blank (equal 0). (then it will show the second chart with one less series)
    2. Show the first chart back when the column data is filled with data. (not equal 0).
thanks!
Bill

Adding blank column in Oracel Answers OBIEE

Good morning.
I am attempting to add a 3 blank columns in OBIEE and then adding a formula to one of the blank columns to do a simple math calculation between 3 other columns. I used "CAST(Null as double)" in my column formula to make it a blank column and not pulll data from the field column that I added.
This is what I have so far:
Column1 formula = "Cast (Null as double)"
Column2 formula = "Cast (Null as double)"
Column3 formula = "Cast (Null as double)"
Column4 formula = data already included from the column that I added.
This is what i'm trying to do:
Column3 = (Column4 - Column1 + Column2) <----- In excel I would do something like "=D4-E4+F4" (example)
When I do my SUM function in OBIEE and try to add the columns, it pulls in "Cast(Null as double)" and not the actual column name that I custom edited.
Any help would be appreciate on how to add a blank column and add a simple calculation formula to calculate data from the blank columns once I export my report to excel.
Thank you,

Thats correct. When I export the report I want to see blank values in the columns. so when I enter data into those blank fields on my excel spreadsheet, I want the totals column to calculate according to my formula specified. My issue is when I specify a null value in my columns in OBIEE, im unable to put a formula to calculate the values in my other columns.
This is what I have so far in OBIEE:
Column1 formula = "Cast (Null as double)"
Column2 formula = "Cast (Null as double)"
Column3 formula = "Cast (Null as double)"
Column4 formula = data already included from the column that I added with values.
This is what I’m trying to do:
Column3 = (Column4 - Column1 + Column2) <----- In excel I would do something like "=D4-E4+F4" (example)
How can I add a value to my column so that when I export it to excel, the column fields will have the formula already included such as "=D4-E4+F4" and also each row formula corresponding to the correct Row Number.

Layout in sql report gets disturbed in case of blank columns

Hi All,
I have an SQL report which runs from a concurrent program.
Problem is, if there are blank columns in the report then the data shifts to the left.
As shown in the below table, if column Attribute 4 is null then the data for Error column has shifted to the left. The words Incorrect Data should come under heading Error whereas it comes under Attribute4.

I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, columns and tabs make many merged cells and many blank columns. In addition to not separate the columns correctly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I'm even thinking that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has limitations. There is no way to define what points in columns to force break column? Nor create many columns that are useless? How does text to column in Excel, fixed size when we import text, and define where the breaks have columns?

PDF does not contain columns, rows, formats, styles, or other aspects of word processing or spreadsheet file formats.
This is because PDF is decidedly not a word processing or spreadsheet file format or something "like" one of those.
(see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")
What can optimize the export of PDF page content is to start with a well-formed tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant).
Without that export is what it is and one performs whatever content cleanup is needed using the native application for the export file (MS Word or Excel).

Display Blank Column in Bex Analyzer without Error

Hi Experts,
i have created a report with several columns.
To display the coorect descrition i use a new selecion and insert the required infoobject or Key Figure" it is ok.
Whe want to display two blank columns.
The problem i have is that there are some errors saying i should define thoses columns.
How to define a blank cloumn which is displaying the description but empty?
Thank you for your Input.
Gilo

Inside the query designer there should be a "columns" section. Formulas can be configured either by:
- creating a structure (dragging a structure from the left or creating a new structure)...or....
- dragging a key figure from the left window pane over to the "columns" section.
- you could create a new calculated key figure or restricted key figure, but this is not necessary in our example.
Right click on the structure or Key Figures. There should be 2 options: New Selection or New Formula. We chose new formula, add appropriate text/heading/description and put a =0 in the formula box, prior to clicking OK. The wider the heading text, the wider the new blank column will look.
Then right click on the column you just created to change it's properties to = suppress result for both the "calculate result as" and the "calculate single values as"....

I am having exactly the same problem right now. After some research, it looked like my HD was toast. I replaced it today, that part was easy, but now I cannot seem to use my original Install Disk to format the new HD. I get a grey restart screen, or if I get to the Language Selection screen, my cursor is frozen in left corner and I can't use it.
Very frustrating, hope someone else has some ideas!
PS My MacBook was about same age, and "expired" in exactly the same way as yours.

BIP report output in PDF and RTF generating some blank columns or � symbols

Hi Experts,
I am new to BIP. I have developed some BIP reports in 10.1.3.4.1 version which are working fine in Dev and UAT environment.
But it's generating some blank columns and some columns with proper data and some columns with"cellphone" kind of symbol in PDF and " �"
symbols in RTF in Prod environment.
In all the environments the version of BIP is same.
So any help in resolving this issue is appreciated.
Thanks in advance..

All of the complex report logic is handled in your Oracle Report (rdf) file.
If your Oracle report is working OK, then this report should be generating XML.
After running your report, go to the View Requests window. Highlight your request, and click the Diagnostics button. Then click the 'View XML' button. If you see XML data, then you should be OK.
When I faced a similar issue, it was because the '1 step' process didnt work for the particular report I was using. The '1 step' process doesn't work for every report. Which report are you using?
If the report is submitted via a form (not the concurrent manager request form), then you probably need to use 2 steps to produce the desired output.
For more information, see the following thread:

How can i delete One Blank Column in my report

Hi guru's,
can any one tell me .........
i'm getting one Blank column in Query output.How can i delete that Blank Column ?
in the same way Row Also....
Thanking u advancely
Chandra

Here is a site with some nice sample code on deleting rows / columns : [http://www.java2s.com/Code/JavaScript/HTML/ModifyingTableColumns.htm|http://www.java2s.com/Code/JavaScript/HTML/ModifyingTableColumns.htm]
As to where to put the code, edit your web template, then put the code in there. There are script web items that you can use, but be aware that editing javascript in the script item is not too pleasant. I have found the best approach is to rather create the javascript file on my machine, then upload it to the MIME repository, then reference that in the web template.
Here is how I have referenced the javascript file sitting in our MIME repository:
< script src="bwmimerep:///sap/bw/mime/Customer/javascript/CustomCalculations.js" />
I hope this helps you out.
Cheers,
Andrew

>>Now need to print the excel, but I don't want these blank column, any way to delete them or not show when print
Hi
You can delete or hide the column before you print the worksheet using WorksheetFunction.CountA, CountA() method , counts the number of cells that are not empty and the values within the list of arguments. You may refer to this code:
Sub PrintSheet()
Dim col As Long, lastCol As Long, r As Range
lastCol = ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns(ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Columns.Count).Column
For c = lastCol To 1 Step -1
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Columns(c)) = 0 Then
Columns(c).EntireColumn.Hidden = True 'Hide the Column'
' Columns(c).Delete ' Delete the column
End If
Next
Application.ScreenUpdating = True
ActiveSheet.PrintOut
End Sub
CountA method

Blank columns with title

Hi All,
How do I create a blank column with the column name in the report?
I tried with "structure-new selection" with the report name(Structure being Key Figures)- the system pops out an error message stating that it needs unique value for each cell.
Thanking in advance.

Thanks Bhanu. It did work.
I did try query properties suppression zeroes for both rows and columns with Active =0 but it is not suppressing the zeroes.
Thanks again.

Insert a Blank Column in the Results Area of a Workbook

Is it possible to insert a blank column in the results area of a WORKBOOK that does not get affected by free characteristic drill down or refreshing of the corresponding query? The current workbook looks like follows
Column A - Characteristic1
Column B - Characteristic2
Column C - KeyFigure1
Column D - KeyFigure2
Column E - KeyFigure3
Column F - KeyFigure4
The requirement is that the user wants to enter some estimates between Column B and Column C and Column D and Column E as follows
Column A - Characteristic1
Column B - Characteristic2
Column C - USER ENTRY
Column D - KeyFigure1
Column E - KeyFigure2
Column F - USER ENTRY
Column G - KeyFigure3
Column H - KeyFigure4
Column I - CALCULATIONS BASED ON USER ENTRY
First I tried to split the results area and save the workbook. But when the query is refreshed then the entire results area gets back in one piece. I succeeded partially by having a key figure with no possible output (i.e., restricting a non-existent value on a characteristic). Again in here, whatever user inputs will get wiped out with the drill down. Does any one have any pointers? Thanks.
IS

Hi IS,
As a nearly workaround I can suppose to do the following.
Create two identical requests.
In the first one hide the columns to the right from your intended new user column. In the second one - hide columns to left.
Knowing the columns number to be shown in each request you can place both request in the same row, but in different columns taking into account that between result areas should be one (or more) additional column.
Data entered by a user will not be wiped out during query refresh or drilldown. Of course, these user data will not conform drilldown operations. So, it is not 100% solution you want.
Another possibility, very hard to implement (if feasible at all), is to write VB code that will monitor user action and will keep data entered by a user somewhere in another sheet and restore them in proper cells after user action (drilldown). But I don't think such coding worth it.
Best regards,
Eugene

Sorting blank column in jTable

Hi all,
I am having problem sorting blank columns.
I have already read thru [http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/table.html#sorting]
Using setAutoCreateRowSorter works except when sorting blank column as i want all blank column to be sorted to the bottom be it ascending or descending order.
I am using Comparator to do the sorting but how do I know when it is doing ascending or descending?
