Cross tab - change column name

Hi,
I would like to change on my dashboard the name of the column in cross tab based on design studio.
I know that it is possible to do that on back-end side and provide desired names in query selection but I will need to to that on Design Studio level.
Does anyone tell me if it is possible ?
Thanks
Marcin

Hi Marcin,
here's additional CSS for it
.sapzencrosstab-ColumnHeaderArea .sapzencrosstab-HeaderCellDefault:first-child{
visibility: hidden;
.sapzencrosstab-ColumnHeaderArea .sapzencrosstab-HeaderCellDefault:first-child:after {
visibility: visible;
content: "column new name";

How to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

how to resolve unresolved column error when we change column name in BMM Layer and removed alias in presentation layer

Looks like the presentation column got Alias before your BMM changes, so in your case renaming logical column and deleting alias is not good to go.

Changing column names in a local query

I have several underlying queries in my IR bqy(11.1.2.1). I need to be able to change column names in my final query(as the requirements keep changing constantly). Is there a way to do this without modifying the names in the original query(I don't want to create a bunch of computed items either).
Thanks.

is it possible to change the BP_DATA/AccountTaxNumberList column name.
Thanks

Hi Jon,
You can change it with following steps.
1) Open transaction BSP_WD_CMPWB
2) Open Component BP_DATA
3) Double-click 'Browser Component Structure; and open views
4) Open the view you want to change in the list of views by double-clicking on it
5) Open configuration (3rd tab) of the view by clicking edit.
6) Select the field you want to edit in view 'AccountTaxNumberList' and click 'show field properties'.
7) A pane opens at right side with field properties. Edit the column you want to change
This solves your problem.

Amar.

Cross-tab - Repeat Row Name

How can I get the Row Names in a cross-tab to repeat on every record? This would be useful for users that export the report to Excel and want to use column filters.

Graham,
I tried your suggestion and it almost worked. Viewing on the screen in Crystal, it did display the row name repeated the correct number of times. However, they didn't quite line up.
The main problem though was when exported to Excel (Data Only), It placed row names concantenated together all on one row next to the total for each.
When exported to regular Excel, it placed them all in one merged box.
So, unfortunately either way the user would not be able to use Excel to filter.

Unable to reorder/change column names on interactive single row view

I have created an interactive report and grouped my columns to display nicely in a single row view report. However, once I initially add the columns to a group, I am unable to reorder them. I can move them up and down the list, but the changes don't save. Also, I have gone through column by column and unchecked the box that says Use Same Text for Single Row View and expanded the column name. However, the single row view still displays what is in the master report. I've tried closing out my browser completely and reopening, but I am still not seeing my changes. Any suggestions?

I also just stumbled about the "Use Same Text for Single Row View" option actually doing nothing - in Single Row View I still get the label text from "Column Heading", no matter what I enter in "Single Row View Label".
I had to adjust a column width using a span tag in the heading (as this seems to be the only way to do that - any other suggestions I found adding style information to the region header had no effect), and now that tag is displayed in the Single Row View label.
I can live with that for now, but it's not really nice.
Is this a known bug? Didn't find anything else in the forum regarding this problem so far.

Changing column name in Line chart

Hello All,
We are BO 4.0 SP6.
We are creating WEBI reports which includes charts as well.
We have two columns " Current Period" and "Last Period" and using them in WEBI report and Line chart.
In the table I am displaying the column name " Current period " as "Oct-14" using some formula.
But I am not able to change the name in the chart.
Can we change the column name in the graph using some formulas? Please advice.

Hi,
Do not Drag it inside chart area .
Align Them above Legend Text ( Current Period ),
so that Actual Legend Text will be hidden .

How do i change column names in oracle model?

Hi,
I am performing a migration from SQL SERVER 7.0 to Oracle 8.1.7.
I have tables that have tables in SQL SERVER with column names
that are "TYPE" and "BODY".(These are generally TEXT datatype
columns that need to be converted to LONG in Oracle.We need
these to be LONG datatype in Oracle because of an application we
are using. LOBS cannot be allowed)
The migration utility renames these columns as "TYPE_"
and "BODY_" and creates the tables in the Oracle Database.
I need to have these tables in Oracle with the same column names
viz. "TYPE" and "BODY" .
I can create new tables in Oracle with the column names "TYPE"
and "BODY" but cannot change the options in the migration
workbench for this.
Is there any option or any workaround I can use to change the
column names in the Oracle model?or set the options so that the
Oracle model tables donot modify these column names?
Thanks in advance for all the help.
Mandar

The words 'TYPE' and 'BODY' are reserved Oracle words. Its best
to go along with what the workbench has suggested. If you have
to keep the original names of the columns trying wrapping double
quotes around them after the data migration is complete. This
may cause a case sensitivity or referential problem later on
though.

Changing column name in a table

Is there any option for changing the name of a column of a table, apart from changing the datatype or size? If so, from which version this has been introduced and how it has to be done? Please give the syntax if any.

A quick check of the online documentation shows RENAME COLUMN was introduced in 9.2 ...
ALTER TABLE ...
RENAME COLUMN ... TO ...Richard

How to change column names in dimension and cube views?

whenever AWM creates a view on a dimension or cube, it creates columns for long and short description with full name
forexanmpel, it creates like
CREATE OR REPLACE VIEW OLAPTRAIN.CHANNEL_VIEW
AS
SELECT
"DIM_KEY",
"LEVEL_NAME",
"MEMBER_TYPE",
"DIM_ORDER",
"LONG_DESCRIPTION",
"SHORT_DESCRIPTION",
"ALL_CHANNELS_LONG_DESCRI",
"ALL_CHANNELS_SHORT_DESCR",
"CLASS_LONG_DESCRIPTION",
"CLASS_SHORT_DESCRIPTION",
"CHANNEL_LONG_DESCRIPTION",
"CHANNEL_SHORT_DESCRIPTIO",
"CHANNEL_TYPE",
"CHANNEL_CHANNEL_TYPE",
"CHANNEL_ALL_CHANNELS_ID",
"CHANNEL_CLASS_ID",
"CHANNEL_CHANNEL_ID"
FROM TABLE(CUBE_TABLE('"OLAPTRAIN"."CHANNEL"') );
what is the way to customize the column name? for example for class level, how can we say insterad of long_description and short_description, use LONG and SHORT simply?
i also see the size of long and short descriptions are set to varchar2(60) and varchar2(20), is there a way to change that for each level in AWM?
Thanks

Hi there,
I don't think there is a way to control the column names within the OLAP product itself, but if this is something you really want to do, have you tried creating your own views?
As you can see, the syntax is pretty simple
Thanks,

Change column name in Gridcontrol?

Greetings:
Could not figure out how to change displayed name of columns
in gridcontrol. They always match attributes in the underlying view.
But that view wizard does not let me specify meaningful names
(e.g. blanks are not accepted).
TIA,
V.

If it is DAC
use setLabel on corresponding AttributeInfo
Assuming you are using JClient, You can set the label using the UI Hint on the corresponding attribute.
Select the view object, then select the attribute in structure pane and then invoke the attribute editor. Specify 'Label text' control hint.

Cross tab Date Column Grouping

Hi,
I have a cross tab in my report which displays no of tickets opened grouped by day, week or Month, grouping is done based on a parameter GroupBy, which has Day, Week, Month values
Incident   Jun -99 Jul-99
Priority1      10          20
Priority2      45          23
if user selects day or week, cross tab should display column in dd/mm/yy format, if its month, MMM-yy format.
I have created formula which returns a date type
GroupBy = Day then Opendate
GroupBy = Week then opendate -dayofweek(opendate)+1
GroupBy = date(year(opendate),month(opendate),1)
and used this date formula as column in cross tab. I tried to format using custom date style...but its not working in cross tab.
if I use totext to format the date formula, data will not be in sorted order...ex, its showing jul-99 before jun-99
can anyone help?
Thanks in Advance,
Jyothi

You can avoid multiple cross tabs by using the Display String expression under Field Formatting. The expression that is entered in this field is what is displayed as the field value in the report. Use the same logic as you are using for calculating the value, except return CStr(CurrentFieldValue, <format>), where <format> is the formatting code for the desired date format based on GroupBy.

Carl
