Capturing blank and non blank values in parameter

In one of the report there is only one parameter “BU VP Name”, now the business has added one more field “Director” to the application and they want this to be as a parameter. Now all the new records will have Director name
and old records will be blank for Director. How can I create a multi parameter with blank and relevant values for my report. Please note I am using sharepoint list to create the report.

Hi Syedfpl,
According to your description, you want to add a parameter which include a blank value.
In Reporting Service, we are allowed to use blank value for a multivalue parameter, but we are not allowed to use null values. So in this scenario, you should insert some blank values(‘’) into column “Director” so that we don’t need convert null values into
string at query level. Besides, in order to be allowed to use blank values in a parameter, we should choose the option "Allow blank value ("")". Also “Allow multiple values” option should be checked. As we tested in our environment, the
final result looks like below:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

How to Get ZERO and Non-ZERO Values in rowcount using Group by?

Dear All,
How can I get Non-ZERO and ZERO row count values in SQL using Group by? I can get non-zero values but when I want NULL should be returned to non-zero values it is ignoring ZERO values in output?
Any hint?
Thanks

Hi,
Something like
select count(case col
                when 0
                then 1
              end) zero_count,
       count(case nvl(col,1)
                when 0

Concatenating context value and non-context value

Hi,
I have a context binding to one of the input field(lets say field-X) and also I have another dropdown list UI element(lets say field-Y) which is not bound to any context. When a user enters values in field-X and selects a item from field-Y hits the save button, I need to concat "Field-X - Field-Y" and assign this concatenated value to field-X context. So in a road-map (next screen) when I retrieve field-X context value it should have concatenated value of dropdown UI element as well.
Where do I do this concat (I mean which method e.g. WDModify) and how do I do it?
Thanks
Praveen.

Hi Praveen,
What do you mean by field-Y is not bound to any context?? I am sure you would have atleast bound the selectedKey property of the dropdown list with some attribute of the context.
For concatinating the fileds you have to write the code on the onAction function of Save button which is taking you to the next screen of the road map. On the onActionSave() you have to get the values of the currently selected input field and the dropdown value. Then you have to concatenate the values and set it in some attribute from where you can pick it in the next screen.
Please use this code in onActionSave() method:
// Get the value of the currently entered value of the input field from the attribute which is bound to the input field. I am assuming the name of the attribute as InputFiledValue
String inpValue = wdContext.currentContextElement().getInputFiledValue();
// Get the value of the currently selected value of the drop down field from the attribute which is bound to the drop down field. I am assuming the name of the attribute as DropDownValue
String dropDpwnValue = wdContext.currentContextElement().getDropDownValue();
// Concatenate with "-" in between
String concatenatedValue = inpValue+ " - " + dropDpwnValue;
// Set the concatenated value to a temporary attribute. This will be accessed in next view of road map.
wdContext.currentContextElement().setConcatenatedValue(concatenatedValue);
// OR if you want to save in same inputfield Attribute then also you can do that.
// use the similar code as above. see this:
// wdContext.currentContextElement().setInputFiledValue(concatenatedValue);
Here I am assuming that the attribute which have bound to the inputfield and dropdown field are directly under the context node. If not then you have to get the values from a specific node. Do it like this:
// Get the value of the currently entered value of the input field from the attribute which is bound to the input field.
String inpValue = wdContext.current<NODE_NAME>Element().getInputFiledValue();
// Get the value of the currently selected value of the drop down field from the attribute which is bound to the drop down field.
String dropDpwnValue = wdContext.current<NODE_NAME>Element().getDropDownValue();
In the next view you can get this concatenated value and can use whereever you want. Use following code:
// To get the value of the concatenated string.
String value = wdContext.currentContextElement().getConcatenatedValue();
I hope this solves the issue. Please revert back in case you need any furtehr help on this.
Thanks and Regards,
Pravesh

Cumulative and non-cumulative for key figure

Hi,
In the aggregation tab, we have the aggregate type SUM, Max or Min.
we also have the comulative/non-cumulative values.
what's the difference between comulative and non-cumulative values? it would be good to have some example for illustration. and does comulative and non-cumulative have any relation with aggregate type?
Many Thanks
Jonathan

Hi,
what's the difference between comulative and non-cumulative values?
Cumulative values are those key figures that are cumulated using all characteristics, thus also using time.
Example: sales revenue, weight, etc.
Non-cumulative values are those key figures that are measured in relation to a period in time; that is to say they cannot be meaningfully cumulated over time. Non-cumulative values are summarized over time using so-called exception aggregation.Example:stock quantities/-values, number of employees, account balances, etc.
Does comulative and non-cumulative have any relation with aggregate type?
Different types of non-cumulative keyfigures.....are....
1.Non-cumulativekey figure = cumulative keyfigure with excep.aggregation
2.Non-cumulativekey figure withassociated singledelta (cumulative)
3.Non-cumulativekey figure withassociated in-andoutflow(cumulative)

Inserting blank values and retrieving blank values

I really want to Insert blank values into Oracle database,and also want to retrieve blank values from table.
When I try to insert blank values ,Its inserting null values.
I don't want to insert null for blank.
Please provide me solution for this.
Thank you

user631179, logically if you have a descrition or other printable
character column where the value is blanks you do not have a value.
The data item is logically unknown or non-existent, hence NULL.
You can assign blanks (spaces) for NULL in the querying program
like SQLPlus does on display. The Pro*C and other language tools
provides null indicator bytes for this purpose.

How to find average for non blank values

I need to calculate avarage for each restricted key figures. There are some blank values in this restricted key figures. Now I need to sumup and divide by non blank count. Do you know how to do it? How to count non blnak values and find avereage.
Thanks,
Phani

In the properties of Key figure used in column/row, Calculations section, you can maintain calculation type for result as well as single value. There is "Average of all values not equal 0" option is available.

BI and ECC Reconciliation report giving blank value instead of ZERO

Hi,
We have a report for reconciliation where in if the ECC and BI balance matches, it will show Zero (0) in the final field. My question is *for some of them it is showing Zero(0) and for few rows it is givng blank values* even after ECC and BI balance matching...Why is it giving blank instead of showing 0 (ZERO) ....is there any setting we need to make??
point to be noted is only few rows are getting blank and few rows it is showing '0'
pls suggest...
Thanks

Without additional details of the rows that have blanks vs zeros, here is a guess...
The rows with blank final value have no records in ECC or BI. You can probably define the formula in such a way that it always gives zero for all rows.

Difference between zero and blank values

Is there a way for the system to determine the difference between zero and blank values. One can have a zero allowed for the 0 value to actualy be there in the KF but is there a way that a macro can be written by which we can use the differentiation between the zero ( a value) and blank (no value) in the KF
I have tried to look for an explanation on the service.sap.com and sdn but was not able to find anything.
Thanks in advance

Thanks for your reply. You mentioned something about the "fixing" setting that could make the "0" displayed in the planning book. Could you elaborate?
Also, in the post from user "APO APO" on 5/8, the author seemed to indicate they could see the "0" in the planning book, as quoted below:
"I have already made the zero allowed arrangement for that in the planning area and can see the 0 values in the planning book but I am not being able to make the macro get the results."
I just want to find out if there is any way the user can visually distinguish b/w the "0" and blank values. If not, it'll be very confusing to the users. I understand the macros can distinguish b/w them.
Thanks in advance.

CO27 is showing blank values in Warehouse,Storage Type and Storage Bin

Hi Gurus,
I am using CO27 to generate pick-list for a production order. The pick-list is being used by Warehouse team to Goods Issue for the Production Order.
However, the problem that I am facing is that in the pick-list generated from CO27 is showing blank values in Warehouse,Storage type and Storage bin.
So, it is becoming difficult for the Warehouse to do the picking based on this pick-list.
Could you please advice how the fields Warehouse,Storage Type and Storage bin can be populated in the Production Order pcik-list.
Is these values are fetched from Material Master data or any other place?
Thanks & Regards
Subhasis

Hello
You should implement the following note:

Pass blank value to a parameter

Hello Experts
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 with SAP BW as a data source.
SAP query has a string parameter created in it, and I want to apply condition on that parameter.
If user enters a value which is not in that parameter (field) then report should display all the values.
I tried writing the formula in record selection however not getting desired results.
Any help would be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
The problem is until CR runs the report it doesn't know what is in the database so it doesn't know it's not a valid value.
I don't know BW but I would think you have to do this Server side and test the value in it's SQL or what ever it uses and have the query do the "if not.. then... logic.
Another option may be a List Of Values, CR Parameter. It runs the SQL to populate a list for the user to select from so they can't select an invalid value. Then you may be able to link the CR Parameter to the BW parameter or you may have to remove the Parameter from your BW query and let CR filter client side or if the BW will accept a CR Parameter to filter server side.
You may want to post your question to the SAP Integration Kit forum also.
Thank you

Problem with BLANK Value in SSRS Subscription

I have a report that I designed in Vis Studio 2005 and have deployed to SSRS 2005. I have no issues what so ever when running it interactively out of Report Manager. However when running it scheduled via a subscription, I am running into trouble.
This report has a parameter called "Label". It is set up as a String parameter, Allow Blanks, and Multi-Value. (It does not allow me to select Null values...tells me "The properties for the currently selected item are not valid.") I am getting Available and Default values from a query I have created in a separate dataset. This query pulls in all possible values for Label, including a BLANK value (there are values that are and should be Blank).
In my subscription, I want to select all Labels but label 98, including the BLANK. So when I go in to create or edit a subscription, I simply uncheck the 98 label. I can see a blank checked as well. However when the subscription runs, the subscription status tells me " Failure sending mail: Default value or value provided for the report parameter 'Label' is not a valid value." This ONLY occurs when I have the BLANK label selected in my dropdown list!
However, when I run this interactively out of Report Manager, doing the exact same thing (selecting all labels other than label 98, INCLUDING the Blank), it works properly.
What could be going on here? Kinda new at this and totally stumped.
Tony

Hi Tony,
I met a similar issue before. If I understand correctly, there has Null values in the list not Blank values.
Using Null values in a parameter in subscription is not allowed.
To solve the issue, please change the Null values to Blank values by modifying the query statement of report:
SELECT ... IsNull(column, "") FROM...
By the way, please update the SQL Server Reporting Services to latest version too.
For SQL Server 2005, the latest version is Cumulative Update package 6 for SQL Server 2005 SP3.
SQL Server 2005 SP3: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=ae7387c3-348c-4faa-8ae5-949fdfbe59c4

Remove Blank Values from Slicer in Power View

Hi all,
I am trying to create a power view report from a power pivot data model. After creating the model when I try to use the slicer in power view I am seeing the Blank record. Then I checked that dimension in model where I don't have any blank value in there.
Also I checked in fact table where it has a relationship with that dimension and I don't see any blank value there as well.
I am currently blocked with this issue. Experts please jump in and give some ideas how to remove blank value from there.
Thanks

As MM-99 already stated correctly, the BLANK-member is created if there is one or more non-matching row in your fact-table that does not exist in the dimension-table
maybe you have some issues with upper and lower case?
or maybe there are some whitespace characters contained in the text?
to identify the issues you may want to create a calcuated column in your fact-table as =RELATED('DimTable'[MyKeyColumn])
then you can filter on that column and see if any blank values appear

Getting only Blank Values in Crystal Reports

Hello Experts,
I have crystal Reports on top of R/3. I am using table called EKKO, When I dragged the LIFNR (Vendor Number) in the report, It's bringing only blank values, I checked in SAP and it has 7000 records.
For testing I created report with only this EKKO table, but the same thing, it's bringing only 91(Blank) records, I don't have any conditions or anything in my report.
We are using Business Objects XI3.1, Crystal Reports 2008.
Could anyone please help me?
Thanks
Ravi

Yes, I created crystal report with only EKKO table. I haven't used any conditions or any parameter, I just dragged LIFNR (vendor Number) in the report and I see only blank values. When I checked in SAP, I have around 8000 records out of 91 records are blank values. So It is bringing only blank values.
Thanks,
Ravi
