Combining data on one row of a report

Post Author: sdgroves
CA Forum: General
I am trying to pull data from a Student Management System. I specifically need the data from the SMS to show up like this:
Student Name Student ID   English Class   History Class Math Class
Jones, Rick       123456       Johnson            Landers          Jones
Right now I can get it to pull all of the data above but it brings it back on seperate rows:
Student Name Student ID   English Class   History Class Math Class
Jones, Rick       123456       Johnson
Jones, Rick       123456                              Landers
Jones, Rick       123456                                                       Jones
Any idea on how to get it to report back all on one row?
Thanks!

All of the data for the classes is coming from the same field on my report. That may be the problem. I may need to add a class period or something so it differentiates between classes?
Thanks for your help.

Display array data in one row

Hello ---
I have an array of data, I would like to be displayed all the data in one row.<tr></tr>, how to do this?
If I use <h:table> <column></column></h:table>, it will display different rows.
Thanks!

Populate the components in the backingbean. Try something like:
JSF<h:panelGrid binding="#{myBean.grid}" />MyBeanprivate List arrayOfData;
private HtmlPanelGrid grid; // + getter + setter
private void populateGrid() {
    grid = new HtmlPanelGrid();
    grid.setColumns(arrayOfData.size());
    for (Iterator iter = arrayOfData.iterator(); iter.hasNext();) {
        Object value = iter.next();
        HtmlOutputText text = new HtmlOutputText();
        text.setValue(value);
        grid.getChildren.add(text);

Need to split data from one row into a new row redux

Hi folks,
I asked this question about eight months ago (see thread https://discussions.apple.com/message/23961353#23961353) and got an excellent response from forum regular Wayne Contello. However, I need to perform this operation again and when I attempted it recently, I am now greeted with a yellow warning triangle. Clicking it shows "This formula can’t reference its own cell, or depend on another formula that references this cell."
What I'm trying to do is the following:
I have an excel file that keeps track of members of a social group. The file places each member "unit" on a single row. The unit can be a single person or a couple. Columns are labeled "First1" "Last1" "Hometown1" "B-day1" while the second member of the unit is identified in columns like "First2" "Last2" etc.
What I'd like to do is duplicate those rows with two people (which I'll do by hand) but have a way of deleting the "xxxx2" data from one row and the "xxxx1" data from the duplicate row.
Wayne's illustrated solution was to create a blank sheet and enter the following formula in cell A2:
=OFFSET(Input Data::$A$2, INT((ROW()−2)÷2), COLUMN()−1+IF(MOD(ROW()−2, 2)=0, 0, 4)), which apparently worked fine for me last year but now is sending up an error flag. When I look at the formula, there is no clue except that which I quoted above.
Can anyone (or hopefully Wayne) take a second look at this and help me out? I can't imagine that it's a problem with using the newer version of Numbers, but who knows? I'm using version 3.2 (1861), which is the "new" Numbers.
Any help would really be appreciated.
Thanks!
-Tod

Hi Tod,
The error message "This formula can’t reference its own cell, or depend on another formula that references this cell." may be because your table may be different from the one you were using for Wayne's solution. Numbers has Header Rows, Footer Rows and Header Columns. Such Headers in tables exclude themselves from formulas. Excel does not recognise them as headers. What table are you using now?
A screen shot of (the top left portion of) your table or a description of what you see under Menu > Table will help.

Ian.

Need a report column to hold data for one row only

Hey Guys,
I have a report which has a column that links to another page in my APEX application.
There is a requirement where only one of the rows in this report needs to have a link so I need the column to show the page link for one row and one row only.
The report will have about 5 rows at a time so is there a way to just make this link appear for the one row(it will be the top row) in the column attirbute in APEX? or can this be done in the SQL for the report?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
-Mark

Hi
The only way (I believe) to do this is within the SQL. Then you just wrap the column in a CASE statement and if it meets your criteria then build up the link and if not then display normally.
Something like this...
SELECT ename,
       CASE WHEN empno = 7839
       THEN '<a href="f?p='||:APP_ID||':4:'||:APP_SESSION||'::NO::P4_TARGET_ITEM:'||empno||'" >'||empno||'</a>'
       ELSE TO_CHAR(empno)
       END empno
FROM empCheers

How to display Column data in one row

Hello,
I have one Employee with 4 effective date displayed in one column. Effective date is drived by Reason of : New Hire, Rehire, Transfer etc.
I want to show the effective dates for one reason in one single row. For example a person was rehired 4 times it will show as
1006555 6/12/2006 1/2/2007 6/11/2007 5/12/2008 12/29/2008 5/17/2010
It's currntly showing as:
AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
6/12/2006
1/2/2007
6/11/2007
5/12/2008
5/17/2010

Well that's a little tougher... For a solution to work, you're going to need to find a way to differentiate between the the specific hiring events. Without seeing what data is available, I'd say start looking at the use of running totals... or in this case a running count.
Set it up to reset on EmployeeID and count each "event", incrimenting up with each instance.
Then your formula would look more like this...
IF {EventType} = "Rehire" AND {#RTotal1} = 1 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Exit" AND {#RTotal1} = 1 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Rehire" AND {#RTotal1} = 2 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Exit" AND {#RTotal1} = 2 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Rehire" AND {#RTotal1} = 3 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Exit" AND {#RTotal1} = 3 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Rehire" AND {#RTotal1} = 4 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
IF {EventType} = "Exit" AND {#RTotal1} = 4 THEN AUDITEFFECTIVEDATE_3
This issue then becomes an issue of space on the report. You end up wasting 1/2 of your horizontal space trying to allot for one odd ball... You'll also get to re-work the report if the same employee goes for rounds 5, 6 or 7...

How to combine multiple Details section rows in my report

Hello,
I am currently creating a report which will display employee details, which includes first name, last name, home phone, cell phone and Email.
I get my First Name and Last name from the "Employees" table but all other info is situated in the "CommunicationLinks" table.
The tricky part which I am having issues with is the Home Phone, Cell Phone and Email are all under the same field in this table, the field is called "DisplayAs".
These 2 tables are linked together by taking Employees.LinkID and linking it to CommunicationLinks.LinkIDParent, which are matching linkids.
The only issue that I have, is for example, if you look at the screenshot provided, I have 5 details section that gets populated for the same employee.
How can I combine all these 5 records to only one?
The homephone, cellphone and email field have formulas created for them, the formula is as follow.
This example below is for the HomePhone field, the others have different type assigned to them
If {CommunicationLinks.Type} =1 then
{CommunicationLinks.DisplayAs}
else ""
Homephone, Cellphone and Email are all different types but uses the same field "DisplayAs".
I also tried creating a subreport for each of these fields but seems to give me the same results.
Any help would be really appreciated.
If you have any other questions please let me know. See attached screenshots for reference.
Thank you in advanced.
Jocelyn

Easier way without working in SQL:
1. Group by a field that is unique to the employee.
2. Suppress the employee group header and the details sections.
3. Create a couple of formulas:
{@ClearVariables}
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar HomePhone := "";
StringVar CellPhone :="";
StringVar Email := "";
Put this formula in the employee group header - even though the section is suppressed, it will evaluate.
{@SetVariables}
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar HomePhone;
StringVar CellPhone;
StringVar Email;
if {CommunicationLinks.Type} =1 then
HomePhone := {CommunicationLinks.DisplayAs};
else if {CommunicationLinks.Type} = <type for cell> then
CellPhone := {CommunicationLinks.DisplayAs};
else if {CommunicationLinks.Type} = <type for email> then
Email := "";
Put this formula in the details section - it will evaluate even though the section is suppressed.
{@HomePhone}
WhilePrintingRecords;
StringVar HomePhone
(Do the same for Cell Phone and Email. Note that there is no semi-colon at the end of this one!)
Put these formulas and all of the rest of the employee data in one or more Employee group footer sections.

Missing rows / output only one row in a Report after applying patchset 2

Hi.
We use Reports Builder for 10g R2. We had the problem with our AS 10g R2 on windows 2003, that some reports creates duplicate rows when it is a ASCII report (desformat = delimited), see Bug 3340546.
Now we apply Patchset 2 on a local machine, to test the functionality. It fix the problem (look in metalink doc ID 398955.1 under "2.12 Oracle Reports Developer Bugs")-
But now most csv reports creates only one row instead of multiple rows.
We run reports on our local machine with OC4N and local started Form (via Forms Builder) to generate the reports (local started report server) from DevSuite).
When we start the reports with desformat=delimited the txt-file has only the header row and one data row (instead of multiple ones).
And when we generate the same report with desformat=delimiteddata it looks fine and generates all rows as expected.
We found neither here in the forum or in metalink knowledge base nor on the internet.
Have you any suggestions for us how to fix this problem?
Using delimiteddata is now acceptable solution for us, because delimited is easier to use.
Thanks for your help!

Hey folks.
We have solved the problem. :)
We applied PatchSet2 for 10gR2. But we don´t know how the csv-report outputs only 1 data-row instead of several rows.
Than we create a similar report (with the same sql-query) as a new one with the reports builder assistant.
This one works pretty fine. So we looked for the attributes and see the "max. number datasets for each site" and it was in the new one set to 0 and in our old one set to 1.
So we change this and ... the old one works pretty fine! :)
So the problem is, that this attribute does not had any consequences in the old version. But since we update with PatchSet 2 it respect this attribute but we don´t "see" it.
Hope this helps others.

Combining Rowsets into one row

Hi All,
Can we combine Rowset 1 and Rowset2 into one row
As there are two rowsets and nothing is common between the two rowsets so i cant do normalization.The problem due to rowset is if one rowset returns only one row and other rowset returns two rows then in Grid it shows only one Row
Any method to eliminate this problem
Best Regards
Namita

Hi Namita,
It sounds like you need nested repeaters and an output document with columns for each field in the two rowsets. If I understand you correctly, something like this would work:
1. Create xMII XML Output Document with a column for each field of interest from Rowset 1 & 2.
2. Repeat on Rowset 1
3. Repeat on subset of Rowset 2 related to Rowset 1
4. Add Row to Document with data from each repeater.
5. Once you complete building your document, you can use it with an BLS (Xacute) query for the grid.
The difficulty for me is how you would determine the subset of Rowset 2 which is related to Rowset 1. Can you even do that? It may require some dynamic linking (xPath) to filter Rowset 2.
Hope this helps,
Mike

Write to spreadsheet file.vi is storing data in one row only.

The 8 points of data is going into one column in the spreadsheet. In the "Write to spreadsheet file string.vi" how do I write the 8 points to one row for each cycle?
I got this VI from NI's web a couple of years ago and forgot how to modify this part. I usume it is within the write file.vi.
Thank you in advance
Skip

I just reread your original post and the way the "Write to Spreadsheet File.vi" that ships with LV works by default is to put 1D arrays into rows. I read your post backwards and told you how to put the data in a column. Sorry.
In any case, perhaps you need to make sure the Transpose input ISN'T true, and that the delimiter IS a tab.

Can we do it in a Select Statement ?

You can format that one big column so that it looks like separate columns.
If you want each emp_id and name in its own column, that's called Pivoting .
Look up "pivot" for various techniques. If you do not know exactly how many rows were in the original query (and therefore how many columns you'll need in the output), then it will require Dynamic SQL , which can be complicated.
Unfortunately, when you do search for "pivot", mlost of the hits will be things like "Search for pivot and you'll get lots of examples".

Concatenate all data in one row to all data in the next row

I have been trying to do this, I'm sure simple procedure, with no luck
Table
A B
1 5
2 4
3 3
4 2
5 1
and put all the data from each row into a single cell to look like this
Table
C
1:5, 2:4, 3:3, 4:2, 5:1
I imagine I need to use some kind of recursive formula but not sure how to do that in Numbers

hoshi,
in C, fill with: =A&":"&B
Very simple.
By the way, nothing recursive will work in Numbers. An error message will be generated if the result of a particular cell depends in any way upon its own content.

How to combine data from two rows into one row

I have the following sets of data. I want to find all the duplicate sets of field values. in the data below there is only one duplicate set: brenda, analyst, green.
DocID and Doc Seq combine to form the set key. FieldID I believe are consistent in that 1 is always name, 2 is job, 3 is favorite color etc. but there are up to 20 field IDs.
To tell you the truth, my client is a bit sketchy about the data and the values. I would like collapse the sets by getting all the field values into a single row. They could be in the same column, or in their own columns. This way I can then look for whatever
dups my customer seems to think that he has.
the first image is what i want (either in same column or in different columns. but they have to be in the order of the FieldID), the second is what i have. THANKS

Combining Data into one Cube from two Data-sources..

Dear Experts,
I am pulling data from two data sources and trying to combine in one Info-Cube. The data are like
Data-Source 01
1. GUID --Common
2.Document No ( User Entry)
3.Dist. Channel
4.Transaction Type
5.Date and Quantity
Data-Source 02
1.GUID -- Common
2.Billing Document ( If User drill down according to Document No , Billing Document should come in the report )
3.Billing date
4.Net Value
Out of the datas , The GUID is common between the 2 data-sources. I was thinking that, tha data will take according to its place and If i select the Document No in Report, it will atomatically fetch all the data like Tran type, dist ch, Billing Document No , Billing date.. .
The problem is , in the report Tha data is not coming as I was thinking.
And Another problem is , In future I need to create a Multiprovider between the above mentioned Info-cube and One ODS. And DOCUMENT NO is common in Cube and ODS.
Please Suggest,
How can I proceed for the following requirement.
Thanks,
Sanjana

Hi Sanjana,
In your case cube will create a problem because it will have multiple records . For example :
Data-Source 01 :
1. GUID -- 101
2.Document No - 999
3.Dist. Channel - DL
4.Transaction Type - GPRO
5.Date and Quantity - 20.02.2011 & 20
Data-Source 02
1.GUID -- 101
2.Billing Document - 6000
3.Billing date - 03.03.2011
4.Net Value - 500
Your cube will have 2 records . And your requirement is to show above two records in 1 record in the report .
Why dont you make an ODS in between , where you can put GUID as the Key field and rest all the fields as data fields. Create 2 transformations to this DSO from the 2 datasources . And let it get updated one by one . Your DSO will have 1 record only . Now either you do reporting on this DSO or take the data to the cube .
Hope the above reply was helpful.
