Conditional formatting in Webi report

Hi,
I have a requirement wherein I need to conditionally format column to make the coulmn value "red colored" as per a certain condition and also need to display a small image next to the column value. Does anybody have an idea to achieve this?
Thank you,
boe user1

Hi,
You can use Alerters for the conditional formatting.
Click on the Alerter icon from the tool bar.
New-> define condition -> click ok for default formatting else click on format.
You can define any formatting to the column values you want e.g you can change the font color or you can change the back-ground too.
To display a image you can add one more column and insert it as a background image. If this is also conditional then again insert it using alerter or you can write if else formula with image url.

Rohit

How to change number format in web reports

Hi, Experts,
    Simple question, if I want to change the number format on web report as following
. . . . . . . . Actual

if I click "Actual" then select properties, set data format from "in 1000" & "0" to "in 1" & "0.00", nothing changed in web report after refresh.

Date Format in Webi Reports - Error

Hi ,
I am using a date dimension in my webI report, but the dimension value is not populating correctly, it shows some constant value for all fileds. I checked the format of the dimension in the universe. It is in perfect format as date.can anyone guide me on this.
Thanks

Hi,
[0CALDAY].[LEVEL01]
Will normally be defined as a Date type object, so it is treated by WebI as a date.
When you use the object in a webI report, it will get the default date format based on the locale settings of the user.
If you are getting a german date format (dd.MM.yyyy is German), that must be your preferences.
Two ways to go about this:
1) change your preferences.
2) fix the date format of the cell by using the FormatNumber dialogue.
Go to the date/time part and select Custom.
Now you can type the format you want, i.e. MM/dd/yyyy
Hope this helps,

Excel Formatting in WEBI Report

Can we able to save the webi report to default excel format.
default excel format :- each columns should move to each cell same for rows too. But currently it is placing in proper cells but the blank part is showing in white background without any format.
pls help..

Hi,
Save as excel saves the document to an excel file keeping as much of the formatting as possible.
The free format of webI is in conflict with the way excel is set up in cells.
So if i have one cell that is about 2,5 times the lenght of my table block, the third column will be split to accommodate both the cell ending and the column ending.
Same is true with whitespace, there will be additional rows/columns to give the same amount of whitespace in the excel file.
If you want the table to convert to a simple excel table, you should treat the webi report as such.
No fancy comment cells, just one table block that will translate to excel.
Position the table block upper left (0px from top, 0 px from left) to get rid of the white space left and top,
as this will trigger a white column and row.
Good luck,
Marianne

Apply conditional formatting when a report is exported to CSV format

Hello
OBIEE dasboard has the option to export the report data to CSV format.
But the problem is that on some columns of the report, it uses various different types of conditional formatting that tells, what to display when data is equal to one of those edge cases. So hence the report on the dashboard page shows accordingly which is fine.
But when the report is exported to CSV format, no conditional formatting is applied and all the raw data is shown without any formatting.
Is there any way to make sure that the conditional formatting is applied even in the data exported to CSV format.
thanks

CSV is supposed to be a data dump .. i dont think you can have formatting saved when u download csv file.. try downloading it to excel and changing it to CSV

Retrieving Query Filter conditions for a WebI Report

I'm developing a Java program using the Business Objects SDK to gather all relevent data from a WebI report and export it to a XML document. I'm having an issue retrieving the Filters correctly.
Right now I have a method that retrieves a query from a query container. Then I retrieve a condition container from the query. After that I use a loop to get the filtercondition nodes in the conditioncontainer and I get their name and ID's. My goal is to get all the information the object, the dimension, condition, and values seperatly instead of it all printing out together. For example my code prints out this as the filter name : "Period Of Time_Air Date Greater Enter Start Date:" . The name contains all the information from the filter but is there a way to get each peice of information for the filter seperately.
I'd appreciate any help.

Conditional Formatting in Crystal Reports

Hi,
I am trying to create a layout where in need the child items to show up in Italics. Can any one help me with this?
Thank you.

You can consider the following:
1. Highlighting Expert.
You can select the field you want with the Italic format, right click it and the select Highlighting expert. put in the condition, and select Font style = Italic.
2. You can also put in formula the field itselg.
If you rightclick on the field you want,, go to the font tab, on the right of the "Style", click on the pen and put in the condition. Italic = crItalic.

Conditional Formatting with multiple characteristics in report designer

Hi,
I'm trying to build a report with images in conditional formatting for two characteristics (=columns). Each of which can have one of the following three status values:
1 - green
2 - yellow
3 - red
For each status value i want to show a different image (traffic light). It works fine with only one characteristic. The conditional formatting creates three details rows in the row pattern (one for each status value) and depending on the status value the corresponding details row with the traffic light is shown.
But if there is more than one characteristic with conditional formatting in the report it only works with a different row for each characteristic value, as the two characteristics belong to different group levels of the row pattern. That means I finally have 2 rows showing the two status values.
To show them all in one row, which is the goal, I have put all the conditional formatting definitions (6=3 for each characteristic) into the detail rows of the row pattern.
But then for one characteristic incorrect images are shown, e.g. although the status value is red, a green traffic light is displayed, because the status value of the other characteristic is green.
Obviously the conditional formatting only works with the characteristic, for which the details rows in the row pattern have been created.
Any ideas how I can manage to show all the conditional images in one row?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Sven

Sven,
your scenario is not supported yet.
Right now, a conditional format is based on one condition.
In the future it is planned to allow more conditions to be applied to the rowpattern, using "AND, OR" operators.
The availability of the feature will be announced via the BI Functional Enhancement List (see BIFAQ)

Graphic/Image not displayed with conditional formatting in Report Designer

We are facing problems with displaying an image in a conditional formatting in the Report Designer. The image itself is in the mime repository and can be displayed in the report if no conditional formatting is used. But if it is used the image doesn't appear in the report.
Backend setup: SP 8
Frontend setup: Patch 8, hotfix 2, Revision 95
Any help is highly appreciated.
Sven

Hi,
I could not reproduce your problem in internal SP8 system. Also images in rows with conditional formatting are displayed.
Do you get any errors after the execution in the portal?
Try to use exactly the same image in both rows (drag-and-drop with CTRL key pressed).
If then your problem still occurs, open a customer message. Describe your problem in detail and write technical name of the report you used.

Can we preserve Conditional Formatting in excel even after export ?

Hi,
I have requirement where I need to preserve the formulae and conditional formatting when exported in excel format.
The user is supposed to be changing the values and so the final result values and cell formats should change as well.
I tried the workaround to preserve the formulae as directed in other threads but would like to know if we also have a workaround to preserve the conditional formatting of the cells.
I know OfficeWriter can help me to get this requirement done but still I wonder if we have any workaround for this requirement.
Thanks.

Hi Rikz,
According to your description, you want to preserve the formula and conditional formatting when export report to excel format.
According to my knowledge, In earlier versions of Reporting Services, there was limited support for translating expressions in RDL to Microsoft Excel formulas. Since SSRS 2008, when you export a report to Excel, RDL expressions are not translated to Excel
formulas, which is documented at
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms143380(v=SQL.100).aspx by Microsoft. When we export a report to excel, only the final data is exported. If some user want to preserve specify cells’ conditional formatting, we can use IIF function as a workaround
as below:
IIf(Globals!RenderFormat.Name Like "EXCEL*", Excel Formula, RDL Formula)
For more information about export formulas to Excel, please refer to the following feedback:
https://connect.microsoft.com/SQLServer/feedback/details/488517/ssrs-2008-export-formulas-to-excel
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Web reporting - colum header

Hi All,
I am formating a Web report.
9 colums are there. I want to put some parent colum for the 5, 6 and 7 column
and another parent colum for the 8 and 9.
e,g
A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I ---> all 9 column displaying in the web report
I want to display....like this
| xxx | yy|
A|B|C|D|E|F|G|H|I
is it possible.
It is basically I am adding extra row before the table - data display
Thanks
Manjushri

Yes, you can add HTML code using the table API class CL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE. You make a new class using CL_RSR_WWW_MODIFY_TABLE as the superclass. If your not familiar with this concept don't worry. It's a lot simpler than it sounds...
