Customize report on Answers

Hello!
I would really appreciate any help because I try to find out how to customize a report for a customer and my deadline is approaching. I am new to Oracle BI and also self-taught.
I have my dimension (Time) and some measures in a pivot table. I want to kind of group the measures(columns) in a more meaningful way by putting a headline exactly above the titles of my measures.
For example: I have "Quantity", "Percentage" and I want to put "Production" above to distinguish that these two columns are Production and I have "T.Quantity", "T.Percentage" and I want to put "Target" above to distinguish that these two columns are Target. Somehow add a row above the heading of the columns to put my own headings. I have found how to customize the colors, font even to make the borders to mark the columns but I cannot find how to add my own heading (that will not come out of the model, it will be my own) for a more meaningful report.
Thank you in advance!
Matilda

You got nice name, I like it since i saw the movie...
Column Properties->Column Format->Headings
check 'Custom Headings'
to go with as you wish
The same can get from Column->fx->Column Formula
If this not what you are expecting can you share a image to my email
If helps pls mark as correct/helpful

  • Customize  report for PO GR IR

    Haii SAP expert
    I have use standard sap code ME2N, ME2I and MR11 for PO GR and IR status. My user here said that standard report is hard to read.
    Is there any customize report that have been build? if there is can anyone post its in this forum
    Help-help

    Hi,
    The standard report / update funstion, is MR11. This is designed to show the individual records that have a GR/IR balance.
    As for the ME2L, M, N reports. they are very difficult to read but there is a BIG tip if you are using release 4.7 or newer.
    You can configure a flag on the "scope of list" to switch the list display to the ALV format.
    This turns these almost useless reports into a whole set of VERY useful reports (due to the ability to change the layout, filter it, add subtotals, etc. etc) and it makes it VERY much easier to pass the results to a spreadsheet due to the column type layout it provides.
    So if you are on 4.6 or earlier, then sorry, you are missing a GREAT improvement.
    If you are lucky to be on 4.7 or newer then simply get someone to set the ALV flag on the "scope of list" config.
    Then when you run your first report for the new layout, click on the multicoloured cube icon (change layout) and change the layout to whatever you want (first of all remove the subtotalling that normally comes as standard, this makes the screen lok very messy)

  • Declaring Customizable reports as a portlet

    Hi all,
    After creating a Customizable report I declared it as a portlet;Later the same was added to a Portal page.The problem faced is that the user(for whom the page is declared as a home page) on clicking the customize link and selecting a value for the report is unable to see the report; message stating that "No row returned" is displayed.
    The catch here is that the same report is visible to Portal30 user when he runs it as a customizable report.Tried all possible workards including changing the privileges as required but all seemed to be futile.
    Any info on the same would be welcome.
    Regds.
    Kiran.

    Hi,
    Which version of portal is it? Have you enabled hosting on your portal? If hosting is enabled only those records for the
    subscriber will be visible. Please check the caching values of the page as well.
    Thanks,

  • Are SSRS reports suitable for making customizable reports?

    Hi,
    I want to give users an option to make customize reports in my web application. So I need to confirm that SSRS reports are suitable for this option or something else I have to implement it.
    And if SSRS reports are suitable for this, then guide me how to start customization using SSRS reports.

    Hi Sanchit,
    If I understand you correctly, you are looking for an option that can allow users can create their own report on your web application, right?
    Microsoft Reporting Services offers four report authoring environments:
    Report Builder 3.0. Use this tool to design reports that are compatible with a SQL Server 2008 R2 report server by using the familiar Ribbon interface.
    Report Designer. Use this tool in SQL Server 2008 R2 Business Intelligence Development Studio (SQL Server 2012 SQL Server Data Tool) to design full-function
    reports that are compatible with a SQL Server 2008 R2 report server.
    However, the authoring tools cannot be integrated into custom web application, so I am afraid there is no such an option to make customize reports in your web application.
    If I have anything misunderstood, please point it out.

  • Constructing Customize Report - SCCM 2012 R2

    Hello, everybody. 
    I have a great difficulty. My difficulty is when have to customize report. 
    Someone would have some stuff to help me, or tell me how do I start, how can I understand these "FROM, SELECT, and others .."? 
    Leveraging ... I need the following reports: 
    1 - I need a custom report metering software to bring me the following: 
    Hostname, User, Application Name, Full use, Version, Serial, Installation Date, Last Accessed 
    2 - I need a custom report that will bring the following: 
    Hostname, and Domain User. 
    There is a report hardware (Computer with a specific workgroup or domain) that I put%% and it shows me what I asked, but this only happens in SCCM 2007. In 2012 it will not let me put%% and forces me to choose a domain. 
    Atenciosamente Julio Araujo

    Hi
    In order to get the report "Computers with a specific workgroup or domain" like it did in SCCM 2007 you would have to do the following:
    1. right-click the report in SCCM 2012 and select edit. The report should be loaded in Report Builder 3.0
    2. In Report Builder, expand Parameters, right-click
    variable and then select parameter Properties
    3. In the Report Parameters Properties window, click Available Values
    and then select None and click OK
    4. In Report Builder, click Run. You should now be able to input a wildcard in stead of choosing the domain or workgroup
    5. Save the Report under a new name so you do not overwrite the original.
    If you want to learn how to author reports in SQL Reporting Services - I would recommend this book:
    http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-Server-2012-Reporting-Services-ebook/dp/B007L379VW/ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1400319571&sr=1-1&keywords=reporting+services
    It is not a SCCM 2012 book but a lot of the Things that you learn will still be of great value when you author reports in SCCM 2012.
    As for your wish for a custom Software Metering report that would be more complicated as I can see that your want serial in that report. I am guessing that you mean the serial number for the application and that is not collected by ConfigMgr 2012 by default.

  • Link from OBI report/OBI Answers to other application

    Hi,
    We want to add a link from the OBI report / OBI Answers to our application. Is there a way to create a link on the values displayed and pass values as parameter on that link?
    Thanks.

    Hello,
    You can create a hyperlink within a column formula in Answers. You can use Go Url to pass multiple parameters as well. Check out the OBIEE presentation Services Administration Guide (Chapter 11 I believe).
    We have created dynamic hyperlinks in BI report that invokes an Apex page as well.
    Hopefully the following link will help.

  • Downloaded reports in Answers

    Hi All
    A number of our customers that use IE 7 have seen an issue with the names of downloaded reports in Answers (OBI 10grR3): If a user has a saved template that contains spaces in the report name, and the user downloads the report, the report name in the 'Save As' dialog appears with underscores instead of spaces. For example, a saved template named "region marketing report 1" downloads as "region marketing report 1". This is not seen in IE 6.
    This problem looks to be an issue specific to IE 7..?
    Any workarounds to overcome this issue..?
    Any help greatly appreciated!!!
    Thanks

    I solved this requirement by creating a dropdown of the reports.

  • Expiry Date - Customize report

    Dear All
    Without using batch management and warehouse management i declare self expiry period for material in material master. During goods receipt the system ask me to enter manufacture date and all. Now i want to customize one report for to analyze expiry date of the material. I cant able to write the functional spec for the report. I am totally confusing to create the spec.
    If i am receiving single material in first of the month and last of the month . Now the sum up qty in stock. If i run the report means how it shows the date for the material. Kindly help me. Whether it is possible or not?
    Shobana

    Hi,
    You cannot achieve this without batch control.
    If you receive one item on the 1st of the month and 1 item on the 10th of the month nand then issue 1 utem on the 15th of the month, how will the system know which item has been issued.
    By using bathces you can specify the batch number at receipt and attach an expiry or production date, then when you issue the stock you can specify which batch has been issued. the system therefore has a record of the stock and when it will expire.
    Without batches the data for each delivery is not stored anywhere and so NO report can be produced.

  • Customize report By XML

    Hi,
    I want to use customizing report by using XML,
    and i try to change the label of some report fields,
    but I Face a problem when i use arabic language and i get
    error message:
    REP-6104 invalid XML report deffinition Invalid UTF8 encoding
    please i need your help if posible
    thanks alote
    samer

    It sounds like you're running with NLS_LANG=<language>.utf8
    You may need to let the XML parser know what character encoding you're using for your .xml file.
    If you're not using UTF8 and are using the default Windows encoding in the .xml file, try adding the following line as the first line in the .xml file:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="WINDOWS-1252" ?>
    Robin. Hi, I too get this error "Invalid XML report definition"
    I am just fetching 2 columns from emp and trying to print it.
    I would like to know if there is any good documentation on this XML customization.
    I am trying to build a report using this method rather than customization.
    I find the demo too doesn't work from my system generating the same error.
    Is there any settings i need to do ?

  • Customize Report Viewer Frame and Colors

    I am using the CR report viewer (2008) from within a .Net UI application. I would like to customize frame and background colors of the viewer control. (not the background color of the report area itself).
    I can't find anything in the properties to get a rid of the light gray frame and the gray background left and right of my report pages. We are using our own styleguide for UI design and I would like to get a seamless integration of reports into our frame design.
    Hope anybody has some hints for me.
    Dirk

    Hello,
    I alread tried most of the viewer properties (BackColor, BackGroundEdge, etc...) before I posted my question here. Unfortunately it seems not to be that simple.
    Changing properties of some underlying controls I got one step further...
    The gray borderline and the dark gray background are not part of the viewer control itself, but under control of some of the underlying control elements. F.e. I am able to get rid of the dark grey background when I change the BackColor of the tab page control.
    I am still fighting to get rid of the ligth gray and black borderline, that seems to be created by the tab control istself. Unfortunately it is not just the BackColor or ForeColor I have to change here. If any body has an idea, it will be helpfull.
    Best Regards
    Dirk
