Cells Appearing Black in Report Designer

Hi Guys,
I have an issue here!
When I open a report in Report Designer, all cells are coming with black background. When I click on each cell, then I am able to see the cell content with original formatting. I have checked with all cell format settings, all is fine. But, this is happening when I upgraded my GUI to 710
Appreciate your help in this regard.
Thanks,
Ravi

REPORT DESIGNER FORMAT CATALOG BACKGOUND IS BLACK

REPORT DESIGNER FORMAT CATALOG AND CELLS BACKGOUND ARE BLACK IN COLOUR, DIFFICULT TO FIND CELL ELEMENTS
ANY SOLUTION TO THIS .
THANKS,
NAGESH

Hello,
Solution for that is to install the newest availlable Support Package for GUI. I assume that you have GUI version 7.10 and BI SP probably < 3. Please install SP 3 for BI and this issue should be solved.

Report Designer : merging cells

Hi,
I have a report with a block of information and after that block -lower on the same page- the results. So in fact it looks like a 3.5 BEx query result in Excell with a navigation block at the top of the page and the results below that navigation block.
Unfortunately some colums in the resultgrid are smaller than the texts in the navigation block. Because of that, the content (texts) on the navigation block are cut off.
I would like to merge cells so that the texts of the navigation blocks are not longer cut off (like in Excell: when a cell contains a very long text and the neighbour-cells at the right are not filled, the text appears above the other cells).
Anybody an idea to merge cells in the Report designer?
Kind regards,
Bart

Hello Bart
Merging of Cells is currently not possible with Report Designer. It is planned to be available with support stack 14.
Please have a look a the BI Functional Enhancements Schedule on the service marketplace (s-user required):

Can't merge cells in Report Designer

Hi!
I use Report Designer.
I have 3 rows and 5 columns in the Header/Footer.
I can't merge cells, for example cells from 2nd row, 2-4th columns.
I need this format:
AAA | BBB | DDD | EEE | FFF
ssss | ffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff | gggg
aaaaa| nnnn | mmm | kkk
What can I do?

Hi,
Actually you can merge the Cells in Header and Footer. Just that, I think you have older version of the Report Designer.
In 7.10 GUI Release there is now an option to Merge and Unmerge Cells in Header and Footer.
Please check the Report Designer Version from HELP about. It should be atleast 7.1 with Front End Patch level 5 and Above.
I have the same Issue. My Version of RD which is for Release 2004s it does not work but on another machine with GUI 7.1 it works so check that out.
Hope it helps.

How to merge cells in report designer

Hello BW Experts,
How to merge cells in report designer.
Thanks in advance
BWer

Hi BWer,
I had to check for some details from Development.
You also need to have FEP 14 for the BI 7.x tools on SAP GUI 6.40, which was just released on Friday. You can find it at service.sap.com/swdc. In the format menu, you will now see a "Link Cells" option.
With the link cells option, you cannot merge across row patterns. That means that you will probably have to make some changes to your report before you can merge the cells, based on what you described.
I imagine that you started out with a report section something like the following (dashes added for formatting purposes):
G0 Header ...
G1 Header -
Controlling Area
Detail -
Func Area
And then moved controlling area to the right to the same column as functional area:
G0 Header ...
G1 Header -
Controlling Area
Detail -
Func Area
Resulting in an output that would look like:
CA1000
FA ABCA
FA ABCB
FA ABCC
CA2000
FA ABCA
FA ABCB
FA ABCC
As shown above, these cells cannot be merged because they cross row patterns. You would instead need to move the controlling area member down to the same row as functional area:
G0 Header ...
G1 Header
Detail -
Controlling Area Func Area
You can now merge these cells, resulting in an output that would look like the following:
CA1000 FA ABCA
CA1000 FA ABCB
CA1000 FA ABCC
CA2000 FA ABCA
CA2000 FA ABCB
CA2000 FA ABCC
To merge the cells, you would simply highligh both cells with your cursor and then select the option from the menu.

Katie

Merging Cells in Report Designer

Hi,
according to SAP Documentation http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/d7/6b9b41aa6ca309e10000000a155106/frameset.htm
it shall be possible to merge cells within Report Designer. However I have tried it on several ways but was never able to find this functionality.
Also I can not find many other of those cell properties described in the link above. Woeking with Frontend Patch 7, Revision 61
Any help is highly appreciated.
Andreas

Hi,
FYI. I am able to merge cells in the Report Designer by selecting multiple cells, and then selecting 'Merge Cells' from the context sensitive menu. I am using the latest SP for ABAP, JAVA, and front-end.
An alternative to merging cells is merging texts within one cell. This will often do.

Has anyone else had this problem??

Please re-post if this is still an issue to the Legacy Application Development SDKs Forum or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly

Report Designer Heading

Hi,
I have created a Report in Report Designer and executing the same in the portal. My report has a Header, report section and Footer. In the Report section of the Report, the first row is the Heading of the columns like Material, customer, sold to party, Bill to party, etc.. When i execute the report in the portal, this heading row is displayed in the first page. When i move to the second page, i could only see the header, footer & the values but not the Heading row. I want the Heading row also to appear in all of the pages in Portal. I have checked all the options available in Report Designer but couldnt find anything relevant to this.
Any help on this? Thanks for all ur time.
Regards,
Murali

Murali,
ONLY the "Header Section" and "Footer Section" will be displayed on each page. If you want the column headings to display on every page you must put them in the Header Section of the report. Just add columns to the Header to match your report format then type in your columns headers in the "Header section."
NOTE: When you first add a header section to the report it adds it as one big row (really one big column). Just click the top of the default header row and add columns to match your formatting. Then resize them to fit the page.
If you need, you can also MERGE cells together (similar to Excel) to get the length required for your formatting.
Hope that helps
Kevin

Errors in Report Designer

Hi,
I am using the report designer for the first time and I am facing the following problems with it:
1. When I insert a data provider (query) in the report designer, all the cells are blacked out. ie, i cannot see the contents in the cells. However, when I click on a single cell, the contents of the cell become visible. When I execute it, I can see the results (all cell contents) fine. Not sure what is happening here.
2. I am able to execute the report on portal but I am unable to generate any print version. When I click 'print version', a new window pops up but it remains blank. Same happens when I try (from the portal) send->export to excel. Are there any settings for PDF and excel that needs to be done?
Thanks!

Report Designer - Chart and data

Hi,
I have a query section. In one of the cell, I have a chart. I have the data in other columns on the side of the chart. When I execute the report designer, I get the chart and the then the data below on the side. When I create a pdf, the data moves up to the side of the chart. I want the web view look like the pdf view where the data is on the side of the chart. Is it possible? Why is the web view and the pdf view different?

Error message in BEx Report Designer

Hello,
I get an error message when I try to add a data provider in Report Designer
It says:
"Error when loading query metadata
Check the query and portal settings"
I can see no reason why my query should not appear in my report.
Has anyone seen a similar thing before?
With regards
Kristian

Hi,
There is a reason for that. RD uses Java BICS service for getting the query meta data. This means that the request has to be processed in Java.
This error appears when Java server is not properly configured. The note 937697 will help you to check and correct the configuration of ABAP - Java connection.
With the note 989525 you can simply check the connection (it will be broken in your system). Points 4 - 7 are describing the check directly in ABAP.
