Discoverer Analytic Function windowing - errors and bad aggregation

Question

I posted this first on Database General forum, but then I found this was the place to put it:
Hi, I'm using this kind of windowing function:
SUM(Receitas Especificas) OVER(PARTITION BY Tipo Periodo,Calculado,"Empresa Descrição (Operador)","Empresa Descrição" ORDER BY Ini Periodo RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '12' MONTH PRECEDING AND INTERVAL '12' MONTH PRECEDING )
If I use the "Receitas Especificas SUM" instead of
"Receitas Especificas" I get the following error running the report:
"an error occurred while attempting to run..."
This is not in accordance to:
http://www.boku.ac.at/oradoc/ias/10g(9.0.4)/bi.904/b10268.pdf
but ok, the version without SUM inside works.
Another problem is the fact that for analytic function with PARTITION BY,
this does not work (shows the cannot aggregate symbol) if we collapse or use "<All>" in page items.
But it works if we remove the item from the PARTITION BY and also remove from workbook.
It's even worse for windowing functions(query above), because the query
only works if we remove the item from the PARTITION BY but we have to show it on the workbook - and this MAKES NO SENSE... :(
Please help.

Unfortunately Discoverer doesn't show (correct) values for analytical functions when selecting "<All>" in a page item. I found out that it does work when you add the analytical function to the db-view instead of to the report as a calculation or as a calculated item on the folder.
The only problem is you've to name all page-items in the PARTITION window, so, when adding a page-item to the report, you,ve to change the db-view and alter the PARTITION window.
