Calculation on Interactive reporting

I have no knowledge on interactive reporting, all Italy IR consultant are on holiday and I need an answer concerning solution feasibility as soon as possible, so if you can help me I will be very gratefull to you
On a planning application using note and cell text interactive reporting could:
1.     Asking some parameters to user: elements to be extract and information about the kind of average calculation that has to be done in the report and so on
2.     Using these parameters to extract data from essbase
3.     Calculate the type of average requested by users
4.     In the same reports execute a query on planning to show cell text related to displayed element (This I know it is possible)
release is 9.3 and it is not possible to do an upgrade (customer has on of the biggest HFM implementation in the word, so it would be impossible to upgrading EPm suite just only for a planning's needs)
Thanks

Interactive Report - Aggregate Calculations

How can I get a variance or stddev calculation in an interactive report? This should function exactly the same as a sum or average aggregation. As I don't see a way to do it with the interface, and at the very least, I am hoping someone can help with sql that would provide a variance calulation on the pertaining generated interactive report.
Thanks,

Well Rana I had thought about that, but the problem is that the calculation becomes a line item and not an aggregate calculation. And since I am performing other aggregate computations on the table through the interactive reporting tools already, I would like to stay with the same path. I am hoping I will not be forced to take that path.
Thanks,

Interactive Report with Calculated Aggregates - possible?

I'm search for a possibility to create an aggregated column that is simply a computed value of two other aggregates.
Example
This how the basis data can look like
Orderitem | price | no.
A          | 100   | 3
B          | 10    | 1     The interactive report allows then to create a calculated column "total price" (price*no.) and some aggregates.
Orderitem | price | no. | total price
A          | 100   | 3     | 300
B          | 10    | 1     | 10
           |       | sum: 4 | sum: 310I now want to create an additional aggregate line for column price holding the AVERAGE price.
If I add such a column the result is (100+10) / 2 = 55 which is wrong from a business perspective.
The correct value should be: 310/4 = 77.5.
And the result would look like this
Orderitem | price     | no. | total price
A          | 100       | 3     | 300
B          | 10        | 1     | 10
           | avg: 77.5 | sum: 4 | sum: 310Is is somehow possible to create this using only the interactive reports features? Without reprogramming regions or the base SQL.
I can do it using pure SQL solutions. However the end users don't have the knowledge how to create such complicated queries.

Btw. I mentioned that I can do it in pure SQL. Let me share this solution. Problem is that it is not interactive anymore.

Changing value of input field in interactive report

Hi all,
I have created interactive report. On 3rd list, i had calculated total for netwr filed and it is displayed at bottom.
netwr field on list is editable. If value in netwr changed by user , value for total should be changed on same list.
Can anybody help me out?
Thanks and Regards,
Rakesh.

Hi Rakesh
Within the third alv's usercommand, Try this code.
FORM user_command1 USING r_ucomm LIKE sy-ucomm
 rs_selfield TYPE slis_selfield.
 CASE r_ucomm.
 WHEN 'EDIT'.
 <code>
 CALL METHOD <alv_instance>->refresh_table_display
 EXPORTING
 is_stable = <third_alv_internal_table>
 EXCEPTIONS
 finished = 1
 OTHERS = 2.
ENDCASE.
ENDFORM.
This will refresh the internal table each item a edit operation is done, after this write the code to find the sum.
Thanks and Regards,

Interactive report - order column by other column values

Hi Oracle experts,
could you please advise how to order column A by values of column B in Interactive report ?
When clicking on header of "Countries" column in order to sort it acs/desc I would like to order it by values of column "Sort_order" which stores values from 1 to 100.
The goal is to order "Countries" not alphabetically, but according to values of "Sort_order" column.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance for your help.
Best regards,
Konrad

Any ideas?I'm not an expert on Interactive Reports, so there may be a less brute force method using the built-in features, but here's an approach that's worked in the past.
Modify the query to generate the column as:
'' || countryi.e. prefix the country name with an HTML comment containing the required ordinal number. This won't be visible in the report, but will be considered when sorting in SQL.
In the IR Column Attributes set the column's Display Text As property to Standard Report Column so APEX won't escape the HTML tags.
This method has side effects: some IR filters won't work; aggregate calculations can't be applied to the column; and report exports contain the HTML rather than the expected value.
Edited by: fac586 on 02-Oct-2012 13:28
From APEX 4.2 IR columns have support for HTML Expressions, so Re: Report formatting/sorting issue using a hidden column and HTML Expression should be used, as it's purely declarative and provides better separation of concerns. (Still a problem on report exports though. Whilst the sort column can be suppressed using a condition, the hidden column can't be "unhidden" to replace it.)

Scale of the graphic in interactive report doesn't work in french

Dear all,
I created a calculation column in an interactive report an put the format 9999999D99. When I displayed the information everything is ok.
After that I tried to create a graphic with this column.
The graphic is the type line
The value is this new column
The function is SUM
order by label ascending
The graphic show the good information, when I click on the dot the right number is displayed (19459,10). But if I look on the scale on the left the numbers are not good, we see 25,00000 instead of 25000,00.
The application use the navigator information the first language use is french. If I use english the numbers are ok.
What I need to do to use french and have the right decimal ?
Thanks for your help

If I logon as Admin user (or I grant user Admin rights), it looks like this:
So the prompt is visible but is empty. I changed privileges in CMC / Applications / Web Intelligence, so normal user has same right as Admin, but it still doesn't work. I also tried change user security in Connections and Universes, but none of them work.
Please, do you have any idea what i miss?

Making raw breakes in Interactive report

Hello
I have build an application, which is a grading system - it is going to be used for a competition.
In the main page of the application, I have an interactive report with all of the competitors, which are ordered by the highest marks they get.
The top six competitors are going to the next round of the competition.
I need to separate the first 6 rows of the report, from the rest of the report.
Is it possible to make a break after the first 6 records of the interactive report? May be by modifying a select statement?
Thank you for consideration.

Wow, it's getting harder and harder to read posts here. People seem to be very casual with their writing. I don't know if it's because the forum is multi-national or people have gotten used to "IM-speak" or what.
I'm just saying... How do people expect others to want to answer their question if they don't put in the time to ask it so it can be comprehended?
Sorry, that was my rant for the day.
As for answering your question, you would need to change your report query to add a column like this:
row_number() OVER(ORDER BY competitor_score DESC) AS score_rank
If you simply want to highlight those who go to the next round, customize the Interactive report to highlight rows where the score_rank <= 6.
If you want the IR to to Group By, customize the IR to create a calculation, where if the score_rank <= 6, then "Move Forward", otherwise "Going Home". Then have the IR group by that new column. Or enhance your SQL query to do it. Something like this should work:
SELECT d.*,
CASE
WHEN d.score_rank <= 6 THEN
'Move Forward'
ELSE
'Going Home'
END AS progress_groups
FROM (SELECT ...,
ROW_NUMBER() OVER(ORDER BY competitor_score DESC) AS score_rank
FROM ...) d;
Good luck,
Stew

How to write if condition in Interactive reporting

Hi, Following function is existing in cognos if ( Calculation in the Report starts with M ) then ( 1 ) else ( months-between ( FolderItemRef[Prompts.Common.Dates.EffStartDt],FolderItemRef[Prompts.Common.Dates.EffEndDt] ) + 1 ) I need to incorporate same in the Interactive reporting.I can keep Calculation in the report,EffStartDt,EffEndDt as the prompt and can get the value. But at query request line how can i incorporate the above expression so that i can get the output as the column in result set. In addition to creation of computed column what else need to be done. Nullif function cannot be useful. Let me know your points. Regards R.Prasanna

Hi prsan,When you create a computed item column you can add standardJavaScript into the definition. To find out whether the valuestarts with an 'M' we can use the Substr built in function whichtakes a string, the start position of the substring and the numberof characters, for the else part of your conditional we can use theMonthsBetween built in function.So if the column you are referencing is called Calc_In_Report wecan define the computed item as the if statement below.Cheers,--Ryan

Negative numbers in Parentheses() in Interactive Reports in Apex 4.1

Hi,
I want to display the negative numbers in parentheses() in all the interactive reports in my application eg: (367,432,203.07).
I tried using the PR format "999G999G999G999G990D00PR" in my number/date format option in 'Column Definition'. But it gives the negative number '-367432203.06895' like this '<367,432,203.07>', which is not my exact requirement.
Is there any other number format/option to get negative numbers in parentheses in my reports.
Can anyone please help me on this?

Is there any other number format/option to get negative numbers in parentheses in my reports.No. In 4.1 the only way to do this that preserves IR sort/aggregation/calculation functionality is to manipulate the values using a Dynamic Action/JavaScript after the page is rendered. This is not really satisfactory.
In 4.2 I think it might be possible using a lot of extra columns, HTML Expressions, and CSS.

Interactive Reports and BI Publisher

Hello all,
i am facing the problem that i have developed some applications and the only report type i used is 'interactive report'. This feature is fantastic! All end users are very happy with the possibilities the reports provide.
Now the problem: we have BI Publisher integrated in APEX as print server. But the output ind PDF and Execl is far from being satisfying. It seems to me that only filters and ordering are sent to the BI Publisher. Every single printed report is a flat table and grouping and calculations are removed.
Is there a way i don't know to create Excel-Downloads (and / or PDF-Downloads) where the structure of the report is the same as in the browser? If not, is it planned to integrate a 'real' print / publish functionality in APEX in the near future?
If you know anything please share your knowledge, because this is the sow-stopper for for my applications. The only work around i found is to use 'normal' reports, but this will leave all the end users very unhappy.
Thanks in advance,
Wolfgang
--- edit
i am using apex 3.2 and BIP 10.1.3.4.1

Wolfang,
You're correct, Interactive Reports do currently not support all the printing features that are available with Classic Reports and Report Queries. This includes groupings, calculations, etc, and you can also not use your custom RTF templates with these reports yet. For APEX 4.0 we are planing to have Interactive Report exports (PDF, Word, Excel, HTML) that reflect what you see on your web page. And also to add support for custom RTF templates.
Regards,
Marc

Reorder Interactive Report Attributes

I'm having the silliest problem:
I want to reorder attributes displayed on an interactive report.
On the Page Edit, I click the "Interactive Report" link or my region. I have reordered the attributes, but the rendering doesn't show the update. What am I missing??
Thanks,
Lau
Edited by: Laurence on Mar 20, 2009 9:12 AM

The "magic gear" is the wheel with all the options (Calculations, Highlight etc) that shows uop when you run the report (so you do have to run the page, can't do it from within "APEX Developer").

Interactive report and font colours

Apex : current version
I have an interactive report that displays details from Table 1.
I need to display the data is different colours. How do I do that?
Eg: name of employees in green their email id in red etc etc.
Can I do this ? If yes, please tell me how do I do this?
Thanks in advance.

LKSwetha wrote:
Hi Joe,
The colour varies in fields based on what is displayed.
For instance, I have the main employees table and a skills table with values Job A, Job B ,Job C etc.
Different employees are skilled for different jobs so emp1 can have job A and job b while emp2 can have job D and job A etc
The interactive report actually pulls data from a view I created based on the emp table and skill table
emp1 job A Job B
emp2 job D job A
I want to display all Job A(displayed in report) in green colour and Job B in red and so on....Then why didn't you say so originally?
Eg: name of employees in green their email id in red etc etc.No mention of skills, jobs or conditions.
I want to know of we can do this and if yes how do I achieve it.Yes you can do this. If you had searched the forum before posting you'd have found out how to do it more than 24 hours ago.
The real question is whether you should be doing this at all. Why do you think actually need/want to do this? It doesn't seem to provide any real usability benefit, and appear very likely to violate Web Content Accessibility Guidelines.
But if you must...
As interactive reports lack the HTML Expression feature of standard reports, the standard way to do this unfortunately requires violating the separation of concerns and generating structural (a <tt>span</tt> element) and presentational (an in-line style sheet) aspects in the query:
select
⋮
 , case
 when sk.skill = 'Job A'
 then
 '' || sk.skill || ''
 when sk.skill = 'Job B'
 then
 '' || sk.skill || ''
 ⋮
 end job1
⋮For columns to be properly sortable, the leading edge of the column must be an HTML comment that provides the required sort order using character semantics.
The Display As column attribute for such columns must be set to Standard Report Column.
This method has side effects: some IR filters won't work; aggregate calculations can't be applied to the column; and report exports contain the HTML rather than the expected value.
Other approaches involve using Dynamic Actions/jQuery/JavaScript.
However, if there are more than a few jobs/skills involved, or this information is volatile and subject to change then this method breaks down. To start with, there are only 17 named CSS colours, so if your minimal CSS knowledge doesn't extend to specifying colours in another way and you've more than 16 jobs then they can't all have a unique colour (white/silver/gray will be invisible on some IR backgrounds). It's also difficult/tedious to maintain this type of hard coding if the data changes frequently. How many jobs/skills are there?
For more than 3 or 4 jobs a better approach would be to store the CSS colours or classes in a column in the skills table, and just select it with the job name:
select
⋮
 , '' || sk.skill || '' job1
 , '' || sk.skill || '' job2
⋮
I am not so familiar with CSS so am bit confused while trying previous steps given by fac586What is confusing (other than posting a question different to the one you actually want answered)?
You will be able to achieve very little in APEX if you are unfamiliar with the web technologies it uses. Spend some time on the tutorials here: start with HTML, then XHTML, CSS, Javascript and the HTML DOM, and now HTML5.
Can you give me any simpler steps to achieve this? No, that is the simplest way to implement what was originally asked for.
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS

Default Style Column Breaking in an Interactive report

In a normal SQL report there are two types of column break formatting:
1) Default Breaking Format e.g.
aaa 123
456
bbb 789
123
2) Repeat Headings e.g.
aaa
123
456
bbb
789
123
Interactive reports seem to only implement Repeat Headings . Is it possible to break columns in an IR report using "Default Breaking Format"? If so how?
thanks

Open document from interactive report

Application Express version 4.0.2.00.07.
In apex I am trying to accomplish the following:
1. create a link to a pdf or Word document stored on local network using the file browse button.
2. store the link to that file in my table but not store the actual document in the oracle table.
3. open the document from link in interactive report.
My dba does not want to store anymore documents into oracle because of performance issues we are experiencing with current applications that do this. Does anyone know the where to find sample code that will accomplish this task or will load the linked document into the oracle table but delete the document from the blob when the document is closed.
