Creating Totals

Hi,
just have a stupid question about creating total.
I've a crosstab showing the datapoints of 2 years separated by the month
Example :
---------2005----------------------2006------------------- wanted result.......DiscoTotalcreated
---------DP1------DP2-----------DP1------DP2------- Difference (DP1)--Total DP1
01-----500........xxx............400.......xxx.........-100...................900
02.....400........xxx............500.......xxx........+100...................900
12
The problem is, i can not find a total-function in Discoverer(Plus)that is calculating the difference !! Only the totals (addition) are created...
I tried to calculate DP1 of 2005 with *(-1) but the the Diadramm is really ugly then (negative bars) !!
Dont know to solve this in one crosstab showing a diagram. Can anyone help ??
Thx and regrads,
Caddy

Hi,
The crosstab report must allow for more than 2 columns of data. What would you want reported if 3 years were included in the crosstab?
I think you will have to rework this workbook as a table type report to display a difference.

Create TOTAL at the top of the page

Hi,
I would like to know if is there any chance to create total on crosstab page and put it on page items or at the top of the page.
The only way i know is that i can put it at the bottom, right or subtotal.
Thank you in advance,
Dani

Hi Russ, Michael,
Before i posted here i tried Russ' idea but is not working on my case because my data points are set to detail and when i tried to create a calculation it gave me an error in which said that i cannot aggregate details data point.
So in this situation i came with another solution where i added a graph on viewer.
The only problem is that for example my Total Column is equal with 21.456.879 and the Graph show me only 21.46 M.
I tried to change the scale but it did not work.
Do you have any idea how i can deal with this issue ?!
Many thanks,
Dani

Creating Total for Discoverer Plus 10 Cross Tab

Hi Everyone,
Any known issue in creating total for Discoverer Plus 10g CrossTab?
My Total did not display any value when the there is more than 1 data to be summed.
Anyone encountered this kind of problem before?
Any feedback is greatly appreciated! Thanks
Regards,
Angeline

If attempting to calculate sum as total, try cell sum... If datapoints are a mix of detail and aggregates, try neutral aggregate for detail or better still seperate aggregate from group by items (e.g. in a cross tab worksheet, keep dimensions on the left hand side or page item and only aggregable facts in the datapoint area). Hope this helps.

Create total time formula

1.     I have columns of time/date values in this format: 0:02:50 (meaning 2 minutes and 50 seconds).
        I would like to add theses values up, then find the average.
        So, if I have 10 time values, I need to get the total sum of the time and then divide by 10.
        How do I create a formula in Crystal Reports to do this?
2.     The above time values are part of a Group. I plan to hide the details and show just the Group "average" (computed in Step 1)
        How/where do I place this in my report?
Thanks for your help.

hey C Warner,
1) create a new formula named Seconds (to place on the Details section) with syntax like
timevar t := {your time field};
numbervar s:=(hour(t)*3600) + (minute(t)*60) + second(t);
2) right click on the Seconds formula and choose Insert > Summary > Sum and also change the Summary Location to be your group
3) now right click on the Seconds formula again and choose Insert > Summary > Average and change the Summary Location to be your group
4) right click on the Summary and choose Format > go to the Common tab > Display String and enter this syntax which will change the output of the formula from seconds to a readable time display.
numbervar ts:= currentfieldvalue;
numbervar hs;
numbervar ms;
numbervar ss;
hs:= truncate((remainder(ts,86400))/3600);
ms:= truncate((remainder(ts,3600))/60);
ss:= truncate(remainder(ts,60));
stringvar display:= totext(hs,'00') + ":" + totext(ms,'00') + ":" + totext(ss,'00');
display
5) if you want you can also move this summary to the Group Header and then suppress the Group Footer.

How to create total column and change heading

I have a region that is display only - financials. I need to add total columns after data is displayed. Does framework support this or will I need to do this in java.
Secondly I will need to change the column heading to current year - ie '2008'.
From previous thread I tried the following in processRequest but getting exception
String tt = "Testing";
OATableBean table = (OATableBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("CustFinancialFullVO1");
table.prepareForRendering(pageContext);
OAMessageStyledTextBean aa = (OAMessageStyledTextBean)webBean.findIndexedChildRecursive("CurrentYear");
aa.setPrompt(tt);
New to oaf and java but just looking for some direction.
Thanks

Framework, supports inbuilt support to total feature, check tables section in dev guide.

I need to create a total per line and then a grand total

I have a report where I am getting counts. I have created totals per column by using a summary column.
Now how do I get totals per line and then a grand total.
I am not sure how to total the summary columns. I thought I could create a paramerter
and in a formula column sum up the summary columns but I am getting errors.
Is this correct for this.
:P_parm := :cs_1 + :cs_2 + :cs_3; I am getting errors on this.
I tried to total up the information in my sql to get totals per line but am having problems.
Need help getting totals. does nvl(' ',0) return a numeric 0 ?
Any example of what I can do through oracle reports to get these totals.
howard

Rather than do that, which means starting over from scratch, losing all your edits, organisation and so on, why not simply use iPhoto Library Manager to revert the Library to the older version? Easier, less destructive.
The instructions on that are here
If you really want to start over: you can access the Originals folder simply by going to your Pictures Folder and finding the iPhoto Library there. Right (or Control-) Click on the icon and select 'Show Package Contents'. A finder window will open with the Library exposed.

I've been using FCP 7 on my iMac for quite some time with great success. Lately I created a new project and the browser window does not format properly (it's O.K. for previously created projects). The effects window is also not displaying properly.

Help! My browser window is suddenly not formatting properly. (losing browser formatting, glitch, bug) I'm using FCP 7 on an iMac with OS X 10.8.5 and have been successfully doing so for a couple of years. I fear my Final Cut Pro is corrupt and I have to re-install. Anyone ever see this problem? Old projects display and behave fine in the browser, but any new project I create, totally loses the formatting in the browser and the browser also does not display the "effects" window properly anymore. (see below)

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER! I reinstalled the program and everything. THANK YOU! THANK YOU! MY HERO!!!

Totals not showing in Discoverer Plus - Urgent please

Hi there,Thanks to all for helping on questions and sharing thoughts.
I got a question from user in Discoverer plus, this is an urgent need.
Actually they built report in Plus in Production based on 2 folders with few conditions and all, everything working fine and getting data.
on one column in the report they need Total mean they used Sum but it is showing only lable not the value, like Sum:
Even we tried Cell Sum, no luck, also I tested format of data and changed to NUMBER datatype, SHOW NULLS AS to 0,
And also created calculation to avoid nulls like case statement if it is null then '0' otherwise that value and did Toal on Calculation column, still not working.
I've seen in Disco Admin Dev/QA, that there is joins between these folders and i regarding getting data is not an issue from user I guess.
Can anyone guide me or point me on this that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,
skat

Thanks for your response on this,
I didnt get you, can you explain in brief.
See to avoid null values I created calculation and used case statement.
When I create total using SUM or Cellsum funstions it is not giving data it is giving only the label.
one more thing this is, actually I saved that report on myid and was trying to play and when I try to keep only that column it gave me the result if i add other columns from other folder again getting the same issue.
Any ideas or thoughts on this please.

Analysis report with totals on specific columns

I have an analysis report that I need to create totals on specific columns. If I turn on "Grand Totals" from the "Edit View: Table" section, all of the numeric columns will display grand totals. This is a nice automatic feature, but I only need totals of specific columns. Not all numeric columns need totals nor do Grand Totals of some columns make any sense.
For example, to display opportunity details, we will have on the report:
Opportunity Name, Item number, Item Description, Quantity, Price, Extended Price
Since the opportunity may have multiple items on it, having a grand total of quantity and unit price makes no sense. All we need is Grand Total of the opportunity extended price.
Is there a way to selectively turn on/off column totals or is it an all or nothing option?
Thanks in advance.

Actually, i just solved the problem.
Here is what I did:
1. I added a column to the "Design Criteria" section (step 1). To keep the units consistant, I made sure that the data element was suitable for the value (I used a currency element). Ensure you note the position of the new column, mine was in position 11.
2. Under the newly added elements "Column Properties", I set it to HIDDEN and changed the name to "Grand Total"
3. Under the "Edit Formula", I changed the formula to be: SUM(<numeric column>)
4. In "Create Layout" (Step 2), I added a narrative view to the bottom of the page.
5. In the "Edit Narrative View", I set the appropriate formatting and added the following: Total Extended Price: @11
6. Ensure that "Rows to display" is set to 1.
Save and run
All done, works like a charm.

One row totals

Hi, on Discoverer Viewer (Release 4.1.44) I created totals, but when there is only one row composing the total, is not showing the total on the report. On Discoverer Desktop is showing all the totals correctly, independently the amount of rows that compose that total. Is there a way to force the Discoverer Viewer to show all totals?
Is it a release issue (I'm using Desktop 4.1.37)?
Thanks,
Ivo

You are correct on both, it could the the outer join may
be wrong or he may have just an inner join, and I don't
believe there was a totaling issue in 4.1.37, but the totals
are working in the desktop and not the viewer.
Usually when I have an incorrect join I can't get totals
in the desktop either. I do remember going crazy one time
because I was getting totals in the desktop and plus
(web version I believe it was called in 4.x) but the viewer
would not show the totals, finally by accident I was reading
something on meta link and it talked about this issue. When
I looked at the properties for the field I was trying to total and
the default position was set to top I changed it to data point
and it took care of the problem.
I am not claiming with authority that that is the problem in this case,
I was just trying to suggest to check the default position.

Running Total not working

Dear all,
I am creating a new report which needs a conditional running total.
I need to sum the credits quantity if the following condtions are met
line_type="S" and
line_no<3
I used running total like this
Field to summarize: lab_credits2.credit_qty
Type of Summary: SUM
Evaluate: Use formula
{lab_credits2.line_type}="S" and
{lab_credits2.line_no}<3;
Reset: On change of group (Reason Code).
When I ran the report, it did not produce the right results, so I placed the line type and line no into the same Group footer and ran the report.
I found out that the report is not filtering the linetype and line no.
Result shows
Line Type ="S" - 100 - Line number =1
Line Type = "M" - 200 - Line number=6
and so on.
The report is grouped by Reason Code.
Any ideas why would it not be filtering the records?
Report Record Selection Code
{lab_credits.credit_date}>={?startdate} and
{lab_credits.credit_date}<={?enddate} and
{lab_credits.credit_status} = 2;
Status=2 is needed there to filter the Order numbers correctly.
Many thanks
Regards
Jehanzeb

Thanks James,
I have put all three in detail and used the filteration and it worked under detail section however the results when used in total SUM is produced incorrectly.
I suspect it might be of database table linkage? or maybe I have done something wrong in the report.
I am going to create another report and see if that works.
Will post info here.
Regards
Jehanzeb
Edited by: Jehanzeb Navid on Sep 4, 2008 11:55 AM
Right I found the issue however I don't know how to resolve it.
I have 4 tables in the database
1: Lab Credits - Order_num, Credit_status, Reason_code
2: Lab Credits2 - Order_num, Line_no, Line_type, Credit_qty
3: Lab Reasons - Reason_code,Reason_description
4: Oetrn2 - Order_num
This is how they are linked up
Lab_Credits_Order_num = Lab_credits2_order_num and oetrn2_order_num
Lab_Credits_Reason_code = lab_reasons_reason_Code
Report Grouping
Grouped by Reason Code
Date range - month to date
Report Record Selection
{lab_credits.credit_date} in monthtodate and
{lab_credits2.line_no}<3 and
{lab_credits2.line_type}="S" and
{lab_credits.credit_status}=2;
Now the issue
When I add sum of qty of lab_credits2_credit_qty into the report Group footer,it produces the right results However when I add
DistinctCount of Oetrn2_Order_num into the Group footer, it creates totally different Sum of Lab Credit Qty results. (Please note: The oetrn2_order_num results appear fine, however they messup Sum of Lab_credit_credit_qty).
What do you think where am I doing wrong?
It has to be something to do with table linkage.

Display of total ansal for each org unit using the sdepth (depth level)

Hi all,
     We have a requirment in which we will be getting all the active employees related to a perticular org unit then For every PERNR,we need to find (as of run date) the org ID on PA0001- ORGEH and total the dollars at the org unit ID level started at the org unit defined on field ORGID and only as far down as defined on selection screen field SDEPTH.
       Example: $10k under Dept D, $9k under Dept C, $8k under Dept B and $7k under Dept A. If field SDEPTH was set to blank, each department would be assigned the above stated budget amount. If SDEPTH was set to 3, the budget would stop at the third level down the org chain (assuming A is the org unit defined in field ORGID, org unit C would be the third org down the chain). The total budget at level C would incorporate any dollars calculated from employees that fall below this org unit in the structure. In this example, the total for org unit C would be $19k, B would remain at 8k and A at 7k.
    We are making use of the FM : RH_STRUC_GET to get all pernr numbers related to a perticular org unit and sub level units separately and also RP_ANSAL_FROM_WAGETYPES for getting ansal based on the wahge types (multiple wage types can be provided by the user on the selection screen) .
Please let me know how can i achive the requirement.
Regards,
Zareena.

Thanks Dan.
Appreciate if you can help on the below points as well.
1. As part of divestiture/transfer postings: The system is reversing some Previous Year(PY) equity accounts into themselves. How can we get the system to eliminate them by posting to COI Clearing account. Basically, we dont want the PY accounts to be touched?
For the Retained earnings - PY account, the system is actually posting to COI clearing account.
These PY accounts are part of some scopes for equitization.
Is there any link between the "balance carry forward" - list of items table and the divestiture postings?
Does the system check this table while posting/reversing the equity(PY) accounts?
2. I want to understand the sequence in which the system posts the documents at the old parent and new parent (group) level.
The same activity number is there for Total Divestiture, total transfer documents posted at new parent level and total divestiture document posted at old parent level.
Does the system follow bottom up approach? Thereby creating total divestiture document at old parent level.
Followed by documents at upper level (new parent level)
Also , at the upper level(new parent level), does it post documents in the way they are shown in the log? (We havent changed the default sequence maintained in UCWB - COI settings). so it will post first consolidation doc, followed by total divestiture, followed by total transfer docs at the new parent level?
Is this the reason for the double value being posted at new parent for equity holding data?
Will studying the statistical items (corresponding to eliminated equity holding items) be relevant here to understand why at upper level there is double the value being posted by system?
Thanks.

Performance of cumulative total and caching

Hi all
I'm having some trouble with performance when using the cumulative total function from AWM in derived measures.
For some of our measures we store a delta, i.e. the change from the previous actual and an initial state as the first delta. From this we can work out the actual value at any point by doing a cumulative total across the entire range. For this i've used the cumulative total function in the calculated measure wizard in the AWM.
Would any one know the implementation specs for this algorithm?
In the AWM XML it does not have an OLAP DML formula, instead it seems to use a bibeans definition with oracle.dss.selection.calcStep.TimeCumulativeTotalStep as some sort of working class.
I expected from the 'step' function that the cumulative total would be worked out as we go i.e. work out total for 1st month, then for the second month take this result and add the delta from the second month. For third month add third month's delta to second month and so on. This would make the performance linear as you do one cache hit (for previous total) one read (for delta) and one calculation per month added.
However i get these kind of numbers for years returned against query time.
1 year- 1 second
2 years - 5 seconds
5 years - 46 seconds
The results show non linear growth which when you do query over 10 years cripples the system.
Its looking like the cube is either working out each total from scratch and as such later years must add up more deltas or the cached total is being missed (if using the algorithm above) and hence must be recalculated, resulting in the same behavior as above.
NB i've fully aggregated my cube so no aggregation is being done up to the month/week level.
Can anyone tell me what's going on here, is it a poorly coded algorithm or are there some settings in olap that i need to modify to improve performance?
My recourse at the moment is to retrieve all the deltas and do my own linear cumulative total in pl/sql, however as other calculated measures rely on these totals, I'd have to recode all of our calculated measures in pl/sql which seems wholly redundant.
I'm on 10.2.0.1, using an all sparse cube with compressed composites, time is my first dimension in the order.
PS on my first run of doing the cumulative total in pl/sql i retrieved 10 years worth of deltas and totalled them in 0.2 seconds.
This is opposed to 395 seconds for 10 years using the inbuilt olap function!

I think have seen this type of issue before where the calculated measures do create performance issues. This does seem to mainly affect time based calculations and I think this is because there is specific processing that occurs for time based calculations to manage the default time levels of day, week, month, quarter and year.
It is possible to create your own custom formula via DML to perform a cum. total. However, you will need to create some additional objects within your AW to manage the relationships between the levels within your time dimension.
Using the common schema sample that is shipped with BI10g I produced the following report:
limit time to '1803';
limit time add descendants;
limit time keep time_levelrel 'CAL_MONTH';
RPR DOWN TIME -
W 30 TIME_LONG_DESCRIPTION -
W 10 D 0 <CUMSUM(SALES_REVENUE, TIME, TIME.QTR) -
CUMSUM(SALES_REVENUE, TIME, TIME.YR)>;
This creates a running total for both quarter and years.
January 03 2,077,440 2,077,440
February 03 4,435,069 4,435,069
March 03 6,093,747 6,093,747
April 03 1,573,273 7,667,020
May 03 3,285,001 9,378,748
June 03 4,925,472 11,019,219
July 03 1,891,216 12,910,434
August 03 3,796,132 14,815,351
September 03 5,827,050 16,846,269
October 03 1,722,615 18,568,884
November 03 3,441,748 20,288,017
December 03 5,373,679 22,219,948
this requires two additional dimensions and associated relations to manage the reset process:
If you need quarterly balances:
DEFINE time_quarter text dimension
DEFINE TIME.QTR RELATION TIME_QUARTER <TIME>
limit time to time_levelrel 'CAL_QTR'
MNT TIME_QUARTER MERGE VALUES(TIME)
limit time to time_levelrel 'CAL_MONTH'
TIME.QTR=time_parentrel
If you need yearly balances:
DEFINE TIME_YEAR TEXT DIMENSION
DEFINE TIME.YR RELATION TIME_YEAR <TIME>
limit time to time_levelrel 'CAL_YEAR'
MNT TIME_YEAR MERGE VALUES(TIME)
limit time to time_levelrel 'CAL_MONTH'
TIME.YR=TIME_PARENTREL(TIME TIME_PARENTREL)
LIMIT TIME TO TIME_LEVELREL 'CAL_QTR'
TIME.YR=TIME_PARENTREL(TIME TIME_PARENTREL)
If you just need to create totals reset at the year level then the formula would be:
CUMSUM(SALES_REVENUE, TIME, TIME.YR)
I don't think I can post the XML for the custom calculation template into this posting as I think it gets filtered out. Send me an email ([email protected]) and I will send you the XML template for creating a custom calculation that can be imported into AWM.
Hope this helps
