Create column headers in report based on data entered in Form

Hi,
I have a form with following fields being entered into a table: -- a start date for a project and then projected hours required on a monthly basis for X months
Start Date mnth1_resource mnth2_resource mnth3_resource ...
2/12/2011 30 20 80 ...
6/3/2011 80 30 70
3/12/2011 50 70 60
4/10/2011 40 120 90
I would like to create a report (interactive or otherwise) that will provide headers for the actual months of the calendar showing the full range of months to cover the dates included in the data: e.g. if the above data was the only data entered then:
Feb Mar Apr May Jun Jul Aug Sept
30 20 80
50 70 60
40 120 90
80 30 70
Where mnth1 is the month of the start of the project--
Would appreciate any hints on how to accomplish this.
Thanks,
Pat

Hi,
Thanks for the response. I see how a crosstab type report works great for data that is static and all in the table, however, in my case the issue is that the columns will vary depending on the start date of the project. So even though the user is only entering 12 months of projection, the total number of columns will depend on the start date of the latest project. For example, if a project does not start till June of 2011 and goes out 12 months, the actual column headers will need to go out to May 2012. Likewise the first column will be dependent on the earliest start date month-- like Feb 2011 in the sample data.

How to schedule the webi report based on data changes in the report data

Hello,
I want to schedule a webi report based on data change in a column in the report.
The scenario is something like below:
1. If a data of a particular column changes from 2 to 3 than I would like to schedule this report and sent it to users mail box.
I know how to apply alerts or schedule a report or data tracking for capturing changes in the report but I dont know how to schedule the report only for data changes.
Anybody done this before.
Thanks

How to provide formulae for the columns in report based on date column

Hi,
How can we provide formulae for the columns in report, where each column is based on another Date Column.
Can anyone suggest on this.
Thanks

Hi Manu,
I think you a logical column X on which you created another Logical Column Y.
Now you want 'Y' to be filtered based on Date Column.
1. If, my assumption is right - You can do your requirement i.e. Filtering the logical col. 'Y' on Reports.
Else,
2. See - Your Logical column 'Y' While creating log. column 'Y' make sure you use any expression builder to filter across Date column. (i.e. using any case statements or where clause).
Else,
3. Make sure your First Logical column comes from Table by default (i.e. Create the same col. in d/b so it would be your Physic col. )
Thank you.

Create multiple sheets in report based on distinct column values

Hello all,
We are using BOXI 3.1. I have a request from my users for which i cannot find a solution. The problem is i have a query and in a a column i have lets say 10 distinct values. For each of those values i need to generate a report within a report (a new sheet in report) that has data for only this value and schedule this to the users so they get excel file with many sheets.
Is that even possible with BO? How can i approach this problem?
My current solution is I generate 1 report and schedule it to excel file which gets delivered to users. Then i have a macro in excel that is on a network. The user then runs this VBA macro and it generates new sheets in excel. They are not satisfied with this solution :S .
I know webi doesnt use VBA and deski is EOL. Is there any other solution?
Regards, Martin

Hi,
From the first view this is not what i had in mind. But i will take a look at this too.
Any other suggestions?
tnx. M.

Selecting a column in Answers report based on user prompt/ apply filter

I need to do the following in OBIEE Answers report (version 10.1.3.4.1):
1) Think of a simple table with dim TX_type and some measures like month_jan, month_feb, month_mar
so the fact table looks like (column names) tx_type, month_jan, month_feb, month_mar
2) I need to select the measure column based on a user dashboard prompt, prompt populates a presentation variable var_month = jan or feb or mar
3) I need to select the correct measure (one of these month_jan, month_feb, month_mar) and then apply column filter based on the dim TX_type to split the values of these into multiple columns for report. So the report may look like (in Answers)
Sales , Tax, overheads
where Sales may be defined as sum(month_jan) where rows have TX_type = 'sales'
where Tax may be defined as sum(month_feb) where rows have TX_type = 'tax'
where overheads may be defined as sum(month_mar) where rows have TX_type = 'overheads'
IF the user selects jan
IF user selects Feb then the 3 report columns are based on month_feb and likewise for month_mar
I cannot use column selector option as the report column further apply filter in column filter definitions in Answers...
4) When I try to build the column filter using a presentation variable (var_month), the presentation variable is not getting populated in the column filter.
For e.g. IF var_month = 'jan'
THEN month_jan (let us assume the logical column name is month_jan too)
ELSE month_feb and so on...
However, the var_month always shows 0 in the IF clause. If we used a repository variable instead, it works fine. But since repostory variable cannot be changed on the fly (by user prompt) it is not usable.
We cannot change fact table defintion....and we have 12 measures column and about 8-10 different colum filter based report columns using this measure.

Hi shyamvaran,
have you thought about a SQL statement in the prompt, something like:
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Jan' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Feb' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Mar' end
FROM "Subject Area"
union
SELECT
case when 1=0 then Table."Column" else 'Apr' end
FROM "Subject Area"
etc...
Use this to give you the 12 values for your months then give the prompt column a presentation variable name and set a default value in the 'Default To'. Also set the same default value for the filter.
A couple of points:
1. If you're transforming the presentation variable from 'Jan' to 'month_jan' you may need to edit the syntax for the filter column (not using the dialog box).
2. If you're transforming the behaviour of a dimension / measure column in the report, have you specified the syntax correctly, e.g. sum('@{pres_var}')?
Hope this helps,
Justin

How to make reports based on Data block work on web?

I am using form 6i and oracle 9ias
I have successfully call the common reports from the form on the web using run_report_object, then web.show_documnet(..);
But when it come to the reports based on the data block from the form, it doesn't work. it always fetch all the records from the table which the data block is based
Anyone can tell me how to make that work?
thanks

I have successfully do this when I am running forms and >reports in localhostTell me how did you achieve this?
Did you have both Reports and Forms running under same oracle home?
and off course was it a clinet server architecture?
What version for Form and Reports did you use?
Which executables did you use and what was your call from forms? When you call from Forms, which Reports executable use to run the report?
The data integration can only be achive if both the product were running under same Oracle home and were in client server architecture. I do not think data integration is possible in web architecture.
Thanks

User-filtered report based on date range

I am struggling with trying to implement a basic search that includes an optional date range for the data. The form looks the way I want it, but I can't seem to get the right syntax in the query. I can't get anything other than "no rows" to show up in the query if I implement a clause selecting records based on the time.
Here is a working query (without the time):
select m.AUDIT_ID, m.TIMESTAMP, m.LOC_ID, a.AREA, s.SUBAREA, d.OBSERVATIONS
from transys.SAFETY_AUDIT_MAIN m, transys.SAFETY_AUDIT_DETAIL d,
transys.SAFETY_AUDIT_AREA a, transys.SAFETY_AUDIT_SUBAREA s
where m.AUDIT_ID = d.AUDIT_ID (+)
and d.AREA_ID = a.AREA_ID
and d.SUBAREA_ID = s.SUBAREA_ID
and s.SUBAREA_ID NOT IN (198,199,398,399,498,499,798,799,898,899,999)
and (instr(upper(a.AREA),upper(nvl(:P210_SEARCH,AREA))) > 0
or instr(upper(s.SUBAREA),upper(nvl(:P210_SEARCH,SUBAREA))) > 0
or instr(upper(d.OBSERVATIONS),upper(nvl(:P210_SEARCH,OBSERVATIONS))) > 0)
I want to compare the m.TIMESTAMP column with page items P210_FROM_DATE and P210_TO_DATE.
I would also like to add in an optional filter comparing m.LOC_ID to P210_LOCATION, and I can't seem to figure out the "optional" part.
Any ideas would be helpful.

The query as I posted it returns 3 values, but it is not syntactically identical to the one APEX is using. I would be happy to get 3 rows in APEX because at least that way I would know I have the date formatting correct, and just needed to tweak the logic. When I execute the query in APEX, however, I get either "there is no data to display" or I get a formatting error - "X is not a valid month" - depending on how I use TO_CHAR and TO_DATE to try and synchronize the various date inputs with the field.
If it is a query issue (which it may be), I am still suspecting that it is something to do with the formatting of the dates involved. Just as in APEX, it could be something simple, but I suspect it is a mismatch in the formatting somewhere.
Maybe I'll try making a view of the underlying table and experimenting with the date in the view. That should enable me to see if it is the formatting in the query or the formatting in APEX that is causing the problem. Or it could even eliminate formatting as the problem as well.
PS. I had a similar struggle trying to implement some triggers against this database that used date values. NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT is set to 'YYYY-MM-DD HH24.MI.SS.FF'. I ended up converting every date that I pulled from the database into a known format with TO_CHAR and then converting it back into a date with TO_DATE. It was the only way to be able to compare the date values without getting these same kinds of errors.

How can I enforce automatic spell checking for selected fields of data entered by form users?

I'd like to be able to enforce spell checking of selected fields in the forms that I've created using LiveCycle Designer 8.2 at run time, as opposed to design time. I understand the version LCD 8 has a nifty new spell checker for form designers. But I want to spell check the data entered by users using Acrobat Reader. And I want to enforce the spell checking automatically on selected fields only.
Presently it seems that users filling in my forms, must know how to manually right-click on each field and select "Spell Check" from the resulting dialog box in order to check for spelling errors in the data the user has entered in the form.
I would like to discover a way to enforce spell checking in selected fields, just as I am able to do in forms created using Acrobat Pro. In Acrobat Pro, I can set a property for each field to require spell checking. but that feature seems to be missing in Livecycle Designer.
I've check the Object model for XFA forms hoping that I might find a method I can call with a Javascript, to check spelling based on an event such as onBlur. But I haven't found a spell check method.
Am I missing something simple? Is there a way to set each field to be spell checked when a user is filling in the form using the free Acrobat Reader?
Our users are not sophisticated and requiring them to spell check each field separately just won't cut it...
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
-David Bartholomew

Hi David,
Two things...
At design time set the locale of the form to one that Acrobat spell checks. For example English (US) and English (UK) locales have spell checkers; however English (Ireland) does not. Check the Warnings tab to see if spell checking is supported for your locale.
If your form locale supports spell checking then you can go to the button script below.
If you form locale does NOT support spell checking then Stephanie has a great work around to force spell checking (http://forums.adobe.com/message/2233945#2233945).
Bring a regular button onto the form and in the click event have the following:
app.execMenuItem("Spelling:Check Spelling");
Which will open the spell checker for all fields. Thanks to Paul for extracting all of the accessible menu items (http://forums.adobe.com/message/1912914#1912914).
Good luck,
Niall

Data entered in forms disappears

When I enter data in a form (specifically forms used to open on-line banking) with the latest Safari, the data does not seem to be registered, as the completed form will not go to the next stage. Sometimes the bank will return a message saying that no data was entered or data is missing. If I use Firefox, with exactly the same procedures, I do not have this problem. I had the same problems with earlier versions of Safari but then they went away. Now with the latest version they seem to be back again.
I have tried to make Safari think it is Firefox but that doesn't seem to work.
Has anybody else had this problem and, if so, have you found an answer? Thanks.

Hi,
From your Safari menu bar click Safari / Preferences then select the Autofill tab. Click the Edit button next to Other forms. Delete the url's for the sites you have problems entering values into forms.
Quit Safari (Command + Q) then relaunch Safari.
Your profile shows you are running Mac OS X (10.6.4). If that is the case, you need to update your system software. Click the Apple () menu (top left in your screen) Software Update ...

How to spilt columns dynamically in the report based on Date Parameters

Hi All,
We have an XML Publisher report in which the parameters are Fom date and To date.
User wants the data in the report to be split dynamically based on the months in the From date and To date interval.
Eg. if the From date is 01-JAN-2013 and To date is '31-MAR-2013' then the report should show 3 columns JAN,FEB and MAR and the corresponding data.
if the From date is 01-JAN-2013 and To date is '31-MAY-2013' then the report should show 5 columns JAN,FEB,MAR,APR and MAY and the corresponding data.
Can anyone please advise, how can we spilt the months and data dynamically in the report.
Regards,
Shruti

well you wanted the columns to be added dynamically. the easiest way would be to use a Pivot since the columns are based on the values in the data. and if the values of that column are Month Name/Abbreviation for that date then you will get month columns.
Have you worked with Pivots before?

I want to create a report based on date ranges...

I have surfed the forum and seen all of the responses and can't get anything to work.
This is where I am:
select     OBJECT_ID,
     EVENT_CATEGORY,
     EVENTS_TITLE,
     EVENTS_DATE,
OBJECT_ID "Click Icon For More Info"
     from EVENTS
where     EVENT_CATEGORY = :P3_EVENT_CATEGORY and EVENTS_DATE between to_date(:P3_START_DATE,'DD-MON-RR HH:MI') and to_date(:P3_END_DATE,'DD-MON-RR HH:MI');
When I input actual data for my querry:
select     OBJECT_ID,
     EVENT_CATEGORY,
     EVENTS_TITLE,
     EVENTS_DATE,
OBJECT_ID "Click Icon For More Info"
     from EVENTS
where EVENT_CATEGORY = 'Category 1' and EVENTS_DATE between '04-MAY-06 10:57 AM' and '12-MAY-06 02:27 PM'
It works!
Please help

Either
1. Make sure the page is submitted so that those 2 items (P3_START_DATE and P3_END_DATE) get saved into session state and can be used by the report
or
2. Make sure both the items have the apppropriate Source or Default values defined so that the initial run of the page will display the report properly
or
3. Put a condition on the report region to not display until 1 (or both) of those 2 items have a non-null value.
Hope this helps.

Create aging bucket in BEx - based on date variable

Hi everyone,
I have a report for which we need to create account receivable aging bucket to classify arrears (1>29 / 30>59 / etcu2026).
Our solution overall architecture is the following :
Source System (SAP) > BW back end...Multiprovider > Super BEx Query > Universe > Webi Report
BW 7.0
BO XI 3.2 SP3.0
In this report, each bucket is defined by the difference between:
-     the Net Due Date (which is the due date of payment of the invoice)
-     and the Current Date (date for which the report is run u2013 can be the date of the day or a date in the past)
We can develop this either in BEx or in Webi, but to avoid potential performance issues in Webi, we take the try to develop this in BEx.
As you can easily imagine, this BEx query will be used for many reportsu2026so not only for this specific report.
What weu2019ve done so far:
1-     We created a variable to prompt the user with the date he wants to run the report for
           - ZTEST is an optional variable, single value, User input, based on characteristic 0CALDAY
2-     We developed RKF in BEx
-     Key Figure restricted by Amount
-     Net Due Date restricted by the variable ZTEST using the between function and an offset (to determine the range)
=> When we save the query we are getting a warning message saying u201CVariable ZTEST for characteristic Net Due Date has been converted to a required entryu201D
Why? (you probably knowu2026) Because my RKF is using a variable with an offsetu2026which automatically turn on my variable as mandatory and no more as optional.
Consequences:
-     In BEx: My variable, which is required to be optional (because we donu2019t have to have this field as mandatory for each and every report running on top of this query) is now mandatory.
-     In Webi: If I use the variable (funnel in webi), my report is working fineu2026but if I donu2019t use it in the webi report, I get an error message saying u201Cvalue required for ZTESTu201D
o     Funnel is configured as optional in the universe designer (so the issue is not coming from here)
=> 2 consequencesu2026same issue
Question: What can we do to keep our bucket logic running in BEx and avoid this variable to become mandatory?
Solutions (potential)
-     Create a custom exit routine to work around this issue u2013 how?
-     Create CKF/Custom exit to create our bucket (using ZTEST as an entry value to determine the range) and then use the created range in our RKF to restrict the amount u2013 how? Not so easyu2026
-     Build the logic in Webi
-     Any other suggestions?
Here we are, any advice would be really appreciated
Thank you guys
Regards
Henri

Hi peeps,
We finally find a solution for this problem! So I can share it with you.
The overall solution is pretty easy to understand.
1st step is to prompt with the user with a 0DATE variable. The date selected becomes a date input for the next step.
The variables is defined as a range [01/01/1900;variable_value)...in order to retrieve the right data set.
2nd step is to use this date to create our aging bucket, dates range.
To do so, we created 4 user exit variables (for each aging bucket).
3rd step is to use these ranges in RKF.
This way you get aging bucket dynamically defined by the user input pretty cool!

Exception report based on dates

dear all,
we all know that in order for us to do an exeption report it has to be based on numbers, has anyone try doing this based on a date before? a key figure date that is.
thanks in advance for your reply.

hell bill, thanks and please allow me to further enquire on your reply.
when we create a variable shouldnt it be based on a characteristics and since this is a key figure can it be done? do you have any good reading i can reference? thanks mate.
