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.

Creating a Form with Report based on View

Hi All,
I wanted to create a form with report based on two tables so:
1. I created a view (called COMBO) based on two tables
2. I then created a form with report based on the view
Everything seemed fine thus far until I tried to edit existing records - I got the error:
ORA-20505: Error in DML: p_rowid=2002082600001172, p_alt_rowid=REPATRIATION_ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Unable to process row of table COMBO.NB: REPATRIATION_ID is the primary key of the Repatriation table. The other table is Applicant.
& when I tried to create a new record - I got the error:
ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Unable to process row of table COMBO.Someone please enlighten me!
Kind Regards
Kamo

Hello Kamo,
You need to create an 'instead of' (update/insert/delete) trigger on your view to process the inserts etc into the 'real' tables.

Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.

Hi Experts,
Is there a way to hide some reports based on the selected values in prompt.
For ex. if a year is selected in the prompt then the report should display year wise report.
If a year and half year both are selected in the drop down from prompt section then 2 reports should come.. One for year wise and another for half year wise.Kindly look into this.
Regards
Ashish

Hi,
Use presentation values in prompts for year,half,qtr and month.Example- For year-y is presentation variable in the same way for halfyear-h,qtr-q and month-m.
create four intermediate reports.Example-Report r1 with only year column,r2 with only halfyear column,r3 with qtr column and r4 with month column.
Make column in each report(r1,r2,r3,r4) is equal to their presentation variables(y,h,q,m).
Use four sections.
Section1-Place report that should come when only year.
section2-Place report that should come for year and halfyear.
Section3-Place report that should come for year,halfyear and qtr.
Section4-Place report that should come for year,halfyear,qtr and month.
Apply guided navigation for each section selecting guided navigation-
For section1-
properties->Guided navigation->check this Reference Source Request(Yes)->select report r1(year)->check this Show Section(if request returns row)
In the same way do for remaining section2(select r2),section3(select r3) and section4(select r4)

Count a distinct column value in an interactive report

Hi,
I'm struggling with this and would appreciate any pointers.
I have built a view here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11189:1
The report can have duplicate column values. I'm tying to find a way using the interactive report functionality (i.e. without modifying the underlying SQL) to count a distinct column value. For example, in the example following the link I'd like to be able to count the unique customer_ids and return 7.
This may be fundametally impossible depending on the way the SQL is generated for the interactive reports. If this is the case can anyone confirm this?
Many thanks
Yog.

"Not modifying views is fair enough. But not wrapping a SELECT around them? Really? Why? And as I said, that's imposible, the IR already does it."
This is not a problem. However for the IR's it's a development decision to keep all reported columns ( and analysis on these columns ) as a seperate development process to be controlled centrally by a seperate team. The point to remember is that the app looks at hundereds of views and it was decided that modifying each report to fit each instance would become cumbersome to manage and to put it simply there are not the resources to do it.
again, I'm not here to justify any of that!
SELECT *" ? Every single time? Even when you want to populate a LOV with some names
No just the Reports. It is a very very simple app; a big list an a page for each report.
"I think you should always ask what you want, not less, not more"
I agree, and that should include select * from view.
"Why fetch data you don't want to see"
Some users will want to see some data from the view and other users will want to see other data, Over the whole user base someone somewhere will want to see all of it.
 Actually, there is something good in this, in the future, when you will be asked to check and try to improve the load time of some page, here is the first place where you should look
Brilliant! Like it!!
Does it by any chance fetch a bunch of 20 meg LOBS and then discards them
No, Thankfully a few varchar2 columns and a lot of numeric columns, nothing huge. The reports are acutally pretty fast at the moment...

Filtering an EVDRE report based on a Data Value

Everyone,
I have a report that has accounts in the columns without expansion. I am capturing various status codes in one account and I need to know how to filter the report based on a data value that is retrieved from the database for this account.I am also using the EVdre sort functionality along with an EVSUB in the after range which sub totals the Organization and Materials Dimensions in the rows. When I try to use native Excel to filter based on the value of the Status Code Account the report will only sort the top section of the report. As soon as it hits the Subtotals it stops filtering. Is there a way to filter the report in EVDRE based on the data value that is returned from the database.
The account that I want to filter on is Status Code. We can have two values in it either 10 = Submitted or 30 = Business Case. The users want to be able to filter the report to only show the status code of 10 (Submitted) for their Executives to review.

Hi eleasha,
I don't know if you will entertain FORMATRANGE.
But you can use formatrange to hide those rows you donot want to see.
You can use the CRITERIA as VALUE=<<anyvalue>> you want to verify and apply it on rows.
You can set the PARAMETER value as ROWHEIGHT=0, and apply to ALL.
Try this with the combinations you need to see.
Hope this helps.

How to restrict a table with its set of data based on a column value in it?

Hi,
I have a scenario in which I have to show a set of data of a pivot table by restricting data based on a column value. I am creating BIP report whose source is from BIA ie.RPD. Based on a column value I want to restrict the data being displayed in the table. Since I also want the hidden data in the first table to be displayed in another table in the same report I cannot restrict the data at the query level i.e at RPD or at BIA. For this reason I used
<?xdofx:if saw3_ = 1?>
the pivot table
<?end if?>
But it does not restrict any data.
Also I tried using the if condition inside the table before the row level looping happens. But no good show even then.
How can I forgo this problem?

Create new sheets in report with script?

Is it possible to create new sheets in the report using VBscripts?
I am writing a script that will create a report with different sheets. The number of sheets in the report will change in each report depending on the number of groups added in the data portal. For example: If there are 3 channel groups in the data portal I will need 3 sheets in the report.
I searched for the instructions but I could not find how to do it.
And another question: how can I insert the name of a channel group in the report?
I am using DIAdem 9.0.
Thank you very much!

Data Selection for report based upon a 'Prompt Value'

I want to report information in my report based upon a 'user input prompt value'
for example:
'Enter Shareholder Selection - A-Active, I-Inactive, B-Both Active and Inactive'
if the user enters 'A', the report selects only active shareholders
if the user enters 'I', the report selects only inactive shareholders
if the user enters 'B' the report selects all shareholders, active and inactive
the field in the database that this based upon is their total share value.
if this field is greater than zero (>0) they are considerd 'active'
if this field is equal to zero (=0) they are considered 'inactive'.
I have tried creating some type of filter, but am not having any luck.
I saw a few examples within the forums that I have tried without any luck....unfortunately most of the examples I've seen are base one only two choices.
I'm sure I need to create some type of 'independant varible' but am not sure how to do that either.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Daryl,
I Tried this unsuccessfully in DESKI . We can't Eliminate Rows having Empty Measure Values or Measure with 0 as values using Table Level Filter as FIlter can't FIlter rows based on Prompt value selection dynamically. Filters filter rows at a time and not based on 3 condition as Active, Inactive and Both. thus filters are of no use.
I Tried this in WEBI, and it is working perfectly you donu2019t have to create any Object in Universe, you can do it using function UserResponse() at report level.
Hence if you are comfortable using WEBI for Generating this report then Follow the steps.
1. Create Report With Name and Shares Object. It will display all Shareholder Names and No.of shares they hold.
2. Use Status Object in Query filter, use condition as u201CEqual Tou201D and Select prompt. It contains Active, Inactive and Both as values.
3. Report will Display all Shareholder names and No. of shares like 45, 789, 0, 4562 where 0 is inactive Shareholder and all other are active shareholder.
4. Create Variable using Formula.
=If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Active" And [Shares]>0;[Shares];If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Inactive" And [Shares]<=0;[Shares];If(UserResponse("Enter Status:")="Both";[Shares])))
5. Remove Shares Object from the report and Put Variable created with Names of Shareholders.
6. Select Table-> Properties-> Display-> Uncheck the Option u201CShow Rows with Empty Measure Valuesu201D
7. Report will display Value correctly as per your Prompt value selection.
I Hope this Helpsu2026
Thanksu2026

Script task to read the column names dynamically and create a table in database based on excel column structure

Hello,
Can anyone help me out to write a vb.net script.
I need to read the column names from excel and based on that column names I need to create a table in database(I have more than one sheet in excel).
For each sheet columns will be changing and should create a table dynamically for each sheet.
Any help would be appreciated.

Refer the below script to read columns in each sheet.
Dim excelfile As String = Dts.Variables("ExcelPath").Value.ToString
Dim connectionstring As String = "Provider=Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0;" +
"Data Source=" + excelfile + ";Extended Properties=Excel 8.0"
Dim oledbcon As New OleDb.OleDbConnection(connectionstring)
oledbcon.Open()
Dim dt As DataTable
Dim schemaTable As DataTable
Dim OLEDBCMD As New OleDb.OleDbCommand
Dim oledbdatareader As OleDb.OleDbDataReader
Dim columns As String = ""
dt = oledbcon.GetSchema("Tables")
Dim TABCOMMAND(20) As String
Dim TABCOUNT As Integer = 0
For Each row As DataRow In dt.Rows
TABCOMMAND(TABCOUNT) = "SELECT * FROM [" & row.Item("TABLE_NAME").ToString & "]"
OLEDBCMD.CommandText = TABCOMMAND(TABCOUNT)
OLEDBCMD.Connection = oledbcon
oledbdatareader = OLEDBCMD.ExecuteReader(CommandBehavior.KeyInfo)
schemaTable = oledbdatareader.GetSchemaTable()
For Each myfield As DataRow In schemaTable.Rows
For Each myproperty As DataColumn In schemaTable.Columns
If myproperty.ColumnName = "ColumnName" Then
columns = columns & myfield(myproperty).ToString & ","
MsgBox(myfield(myproperty).ToString)

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.

Conditional highlighting in standard report based on a column -disappearing

Hi All,
I implemented some conditional formatting on a standard report based on the thread below
Highlighting a ROw in a tablular form based on a column in the row
Everything works well, except when you pass the cursor over the report the highlighting disappears. It reappears if you refresh the page or scroll to the next page in the report.
In my style tag in the template I'm just using
style="background:red"
Is it something to do with the template? I'm using builder 2 theme.
Any ideas?
Andrew

Hi Andrew,
this is coming from the report template - Before Each Row: <tr #HIGHLIGHT_ROW#>
Just remove the #HIGHLIGHT_ROW# if you do not need it.
