Creating a Static Column

After searching through the forums with no successful hits, I am posting my question...
I am in BEx Query Designer and the request is that the business wants to include 3 static columns in the report. On the Rows/Columns tab I initially tried to drop these columns as entries in the Rows box via a structure as formulas in the report, but they do not show up when I execute the report, it only displays the column name that I gave the first of the 3 static columns.
any hints?

Thank you for replying so quickly Chandamita. I am trying to create a report using BEx Query Designer 7.0, I have collected the information that the business wants such as:
Columns box:
Sales Items
Retail Price in USD
Rows:
Product ID
SoldTo Country
SoldTo Zip
however what the business wants to do is display the fields as follows:
staticfield1, staticfield2, staticfield3, ProdctID, SoldTo Country, SoldTo Zip, Sales Items, Retail Price in USD
ABC, 123, A1, xxxx, xxxx, xxxx, xx, $xxxx.xx
where xxxx are the variables from the data, and ABC is static across all results, as is 123 and A1

Excel function and ev function not working in static column key

I have created a evdre report and I notice that when I tried to use any excel function and ev functions in the static column key cell to get the value for that cell, it's not working.
e.g I have Col key define as:
ColKeyRange Sheet!&$J$12:$N$14
In K13 which is key id for time. I define is as = $K$10 where K10 is the time value from current view, it not working,the value is still K13 = $K$10. then I tried to use EVCVW function to replace K10, it also not working, but I use the same function in the description of the ID underneath, both of the are working, Any thought?

Hi,
That was exactly what I meant. They just dont work on the green ID areas or the yellow data region. Few days back even I tried that, but didnt work. So, I followed the different approach. I dont remember about the dynamic templates. Are you sure that the functions were written in the green ID region?
I remember this used to work fine in the MS version. However, in the NW version, even I am not able to make them work.

Do I need to create indexes on column name?

Following queries have been shown as bad sql :
select * from t1 where name = 'FUNCTION'
Count=     7     Avg Time=13     Min Time=0     Max Time=47
select * from t2 where name = 'USER_TYPE'
Count=2     Avg Time=85     Min Time=0     Max Time=156
select * from t3 where name = 'TEMPLATE'
Count=7     Avg Time=19     Min Time=0     Max Time=32
All these tables have less than 20 records and static tables.
Do I need to create indexes on column name?

A FTS even on very small tables can require more latches than accessing via an index. Also, a table access requires the segment header and data block to be accessed (2) whereas an index on a small index only requires access to the index root block and table block (2).
True, it's unlikely to make much of a difference in most environments but if the table is really heavily accessed, indexing even very small tables can help to reduce the related latch overheads.
Most of these small tables have PKs and are accessed via the PK so associated indexes usually exist anyways.

Getting Error while creating a new column in a list or library in a site collection - Sharepoint 2013

Hi,
I am getting below error when i create a new column in a library or list,
"Save Conflict
Your changes conflict with those made concurrently by another user. IF you want your changes to be applied, click back in your browser, refresh the page, and resubmit your changes"
Any help please.
Smile Always

Hi,
I have done a test in my SharePoint 2013. And I can re-appear your issue.
Per my test, I found that If there are more than one user create a new column in
a library or list at the same time, when we
click ok after the other users, we will get the error.
Or if we open a library or list in two windows with the same user, when we
create a new column in a library or list in two windows
at the same time, we will get the error.
To resolve your issue, refresh your page and
create a new column again.

How to write the expression when create the calculated column?

Dear,
I want to create some calculated column in my attribute view, but I don't know how to write the code in the expression, is there any introduction about this part, how to use those function and how about the grammar in this expression code ? or is there any example about this calculated column?
Thanks for your sincerely answer.

Hi Zongjie,
you can find some information about the creation of calculated columns in the HANA Modeling Guide (http://help.sap.com/hana/SAP_HANA_Modeling_Guide_for_SAP_HANA_Studio_en.pdf).
Within chapter 6.2.1 (Create Analytic Views) you can see under point 7 some basics and also a simple example. The same is also valid for Calculation Views.
Chapter 8.9 (Using Functions in Expressions) describes the different available functions.
You also can use the integrated search in the HANA Studio by clicking the "?" button in the button left corner. Then you get some links in the side panel with related information.
In general you can write your expression manually or you can just drag and drop the functions, elements, operators into the editor window. For example if you drag and drop the "if" function into the editor window you get "if(intarg,arg2,arg3)" inserted. The arguments can be replaced manually or also by drag and drop.
It is also worse to use the "Validate Syntax" button on top of the editor window. It gives you directly a feedback if your expression syntax is correct. If not you get some helpful information about the problem (ok, sometimes it is a little bit confusing because of the cryptic error message format ).
Best Regards,
Florian

I created a static view object called StaticDepartments with the data from the DEPT table, but typed in statically.
I created a normal, entity-based EmpView VO over an Emp EO.
I created a 1-to-* view link between StaticDepartments and EmpView based on the Deptno attribute.
I added the master/detail to the AM's data model and tested, and it worked ok.
What's different about the way you're creating the view link here?

When creating a "lookup" column be able to display not only one column from the other list, but additional columns

With the lookup technique, it is possible to select an item from another list and display one column of this item
It is obviously possible to create several lookup columns on the same list and therefore display several columns
There’s a high risk of not selecting the same item and therefore have inconsistent columns
The Requirement therefore consist of being able of displaying several columns of the same item from the other list, based on one unique selection
Example:
In list(x), define lookup column on list (y), column Title (possible today)
Then define a “secondary” lookup column on same list, column Code
The effect would be that when selecting an item from list (X), both Title and Code would show up consistently in 2 different columns of list (Y)
All possible solutions are welcomed

If you are using SharePoint 2010, you can retrieve additional columns when adding a Lookup. If you are using 2007, there is no direct OOTB way, but the following two posts provide potential work-arounds:

Creating a new Column for my list Versus adding it from existing site columns, when to use each approach

I have created a new issue tracking list inside SharePoint 2013 team site. And it comes with predefined columns, some of them are useful while the other are not . Can anyone help me in figuring out the following:-
The list come with a field named “Assigned To”, while in my case I want a column named “Approver”. So what is preferred , to re-name the “Assumed to ”column to “Approver”, or create new field name “Approver”.?.
If I rename an existing column, could this be overridden in any future updates for my SharePoint server?
Now we want to add a column named “Office location”.so I need to create a new field for this. But seems there are two ways to do so either to add a new Site Column at the site level and then assign it to the list as follow :-
, or to directly adding a column to the list, even if it is not available in the site columns , as follow:-
So what are the differences between the two approaches ? .if I am not wrong defining a site column will allow me to re-use it in another list , but defining the column at the list level, will allow me to add a column even if it is already defined as site
column.
So can anyone advice on my three questions please? Thanks

1) 'Assigned to' has a different meaning then 'Approver' , it will be better if you create a new field for 'Approver'. Assigned to is a Site Column which has managed property for search, so it will be confusing type of data it will return from search in
future.
2) Any rename of fields should not / and will not get modified in SharePoint updates. So, you can rename is without any issue since the internal name will remain the same. But its always better to create your own custom column for business use.
3) Creating a site column or not depends upon your need, If you create a Site Column - in whole site collection you will be able to add this field in any list - It will be crawled, SharePoint will automatically provide managed property for site column and
you will be able to get this value via search. These things will not be present in list column, you will need to do specific settings in case its required.
If these things are needed then you can go for Site Column, usually its good to create a Site Column and use it.
For Site Columns you can check following links

thanks a lot for your reply it is really helpful. so as i understand that using site columns will be better in most cases, and there is not any specific reason for not using it? is this right ?
Second question, do u mean that if i have a list column named "Serial number", then this column will not be searched ? For example if i have serial number such as "12345" and i try searching this text "12345" i will not get
the item in my search ?

How to create a 2 column list with bullets

How can I create a 2 columned list with bullets? When I hit tab button, the whole word and bullet moves. I am trying to create a checklist with 2 columns with a visual bullet in front of specific list items. Thanks for any help! chris

Why not just use 2 columns?
Or if they need to stay in step, a table?
Peter
btw A tab in a list changes its level, option tab moves it to the next tab on the ruler. A silly choice to make it the opposite of common sense, but they followed the lead of MsWord on this one.

How to create an new column from ordered pairs

Hi,
Wondering if anyone can help this problem. I am analyzing network traffic between a PC and a Server. I can easily get a count of packets in each direction, PC1 to Server1 and the return path, Server 1 to PC1. But want I really want is a count
of PC1 to OR from Server1, basically a count of packets by IP conversation.
Each row is a packet with fields like: Time, Source, Destination.
For example
2:01:01, PC1, Server1
2:01:01, Server1,  PC1
I would like to create a new column that represents a conversation. So new have columns: Time, Source, Destination, Conv. To get something like this:
2:01:01, PC1, Server1, Conv1
2:01:01, Server1,  PC1, Conv1
2:01:01, PC2, Server1, Conv2
2:01:01, Server1,  PC2, Conv2
Thanks,
Wes

Wes, I just got around to revisiting your problem. The solution I came up with is twofold. The first part is the creation of a custom function that generates a conversation ID in the form PC1_Server1, PC2_Server1 etc. The second part uses a lookup table
for each unique combination of PC and server to return a conversation number (Conv1, Conv2...).
First of all, the "NetTraffic" table (your original table) generates the following script
let
    Source = Excel.CurrentWorkbook(){[Name="Table8"]}[Content],
    #"Changed Type" = Table.TransformColumnTypes(Source,{{"Time", type time}}),
in
    #"Changed Type"
In the above, the type of the timestamp column is changed to time, but you can alternatively fix it as text.
I've called the custom function "ConversationIdentifier." It takes four parameters, as described by the parameter names.
(sourceList as list, sourceValue as text, destinationList as list, destinationValue as text) as text=>
let
    SourceConversationList = List.Sort(List.Select(sourceList,each (_ = sourceValue or _ = destinationValue))),
    DestinationConversationList = List.Sort(List.Select(destinationList,each (_ = sourceValue or _ = destinationValue)),Order.Descending),
    ConversationID = SourceConversationList{0}&"_"&DestinationConversationList{0}
in
    ConversationID
Usage:
As an added custom column in Power Query, the formula, based on the "NetTraffic" table would be:
=ConversationIdentifier(#"Changed Type"[Source],[Source],#"Changed Type"[Destination],[Destination])
As previously mentioned, the custom function generates combinations of PC and server, such that each combination represents a conversation.
Next, I created a two-column "ConversationLookup" table in a worksheet, with entries like PC1_Server1|Conv1, PC2_Server1|Conv2, and so on.
In the NetTraffic table, I did a merge with the ConversationLookup table, ensuring that the "Only Include Matching Rows" option is left unchecked (left join).
Finally, I removed unwanted columns. Note: You don't need to use the lookup step if PC1_Server1, PC2_Server1 etc. serves your need for identifying a conversation.

How to create unique key column in ROLAP fact table?

Creating a two columns text reflow

Hi
I'm trying to create a two column page which needs to get data that will fill the columns. Upon filling one column, the text will need to reflow to the next one (as much as a two column text frame in a layout program does).
Is it possible in a Designer ES? (version 8.2.1.5161.1.566259) What is the best practice to do so?
Thanks,
Yossi Maoz

Are you trying to make it an interactive form or are you going to merge data onto the template and make a print form? In either case I modified your sample. The root Page subform must be set to flowed. You do not need a field in the second content area. I resized the 1st field to make it easier. I changed the layout to allow the field to expand in the Y direction (on the layout tab). I cahnged the Form Properties/Preview to Interactive so that I coudl enter in data. Now when the field fills up scroll bars will appear and when you tab off of the field the field will be redrawn to its actual size. Enter in enough data to case a page overflow and you will see the second column fill up.
