Discoverer Query

Question

Hi,
I have created a custom folder in discoverer by using the following query from Oracle 9i SQL:
SELECT 
TO_NUMBER(fv.BUDGET) as Budget 
,gab.ACTIVITY_50274 as Project
,gad.ACCOUNT_50297 as Category       
,fv.DESCRIPTION as DESCRIPTION  
,NVL(( TO_NUMBER(fv.BUDGET) ),0)-NVL(( DECODE(gab.PROJECT_50297,80067,
NVL(DECODE(SUBSTR(gab.ACCOUNT_50297,1,3),123,( SUM(gab.PERIOD_TO_DATE_CR) ),0),0)
*0,NVL(DECODE(SUBSTR(gab.ACCOUNT_50297,1,3),123,( SUM(gab.YEAR_TO_DATE_CR) ),0),0)) ),0) as Budget_Balance,
FROM
        GLFG_ACTUAL_BALANCES gab ,
        GLFG_GL_ACCOUNTS_DESCR  gad, 
      ( select flex_value_set_id,Flex_value_id,flex_value Project,
      description,Attribute2 Budget,Attribute3 Contract_Number,Attribute4 CR_Number,
        Attribute5 Project_type,Attribute6 Supplier_name,Attribute7 Target_date
        ,Attribute8 PO_Amount,Attribute9 Currency_code
        From FND_FLEX_VALUES_VL  where   FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID= 1009618
        )fv --o408896,
     ,( SELECT ggp.PERIOD_NAME AS pname
        , MAX(ggp.PERIOD_NUMBER) AS pnumber
        FROM GLFG_GL_PERIODS ggp
        GROUP BY ggp.PERIOD_NAME)
WHERE
    ( (gad.ACCOUNT_ID = gab.ACCOUNT_ID)
   and (fv.PROJECT = gab.PROJECT_50297(+))
  -- and fv.project= '080162'
   and (gab.PERIOD_NAME = pname(+)))
      AND (gab.ACTIVITY_50274(+) NOT LIKE '0000%')
   and gab.currency='USD'
   UNION
SELECT DISTINCT
  to_number(ffv.ATTRIBUTE2)--"Budget"
,ffv.FLEX_VALUE-- "Project"    
  ,'Blank'-- "Category",
  ,ffv.DESCRIPTION,
   ,to_number(ffv.ATTRIBUTE2)-- "Budget Balance" 
FROM
FND_FLEX_VALUES_VL      ffv
WHERE  ffv.FLEX_VALUE not in (select PROJECT_50297 from glfg_actual_balances )
and ffv.FLEX_VALUE_SET_ID = 1009618the discoverer 10g report results are grouped by gl periods. For the blank category (the second query in the union), i need the record of any blank category project to continue showing up in the next gl period in the blank category until the gl date that it shows up with in the first query.
For example if a project x was in blank for the first time at gl date May 08 and is in second query for first time in Sep 08. Then project x record should be in the blank category for the GL periods June08,July08, and August08.
Any ideas are appreciated.

Yes. there is period with name ADJ%
What do you suggest?There are two options open for you.
1. Filter out the PERIOD_NAME which has adjustment values.
The following illustration may help in that case.
SQL> SELECT col_2, col_1,
  2         TO_CHAR (MAX (TO_DATE (col_1, 'MON-YY')) OVER (PARTITION BY col_2),
  3                  'MON-YY'
  4                 ) max_period
  5    FROM (SELECT 'SEP-08' col_1, 1 col_2
  6            FROM DUAL
  7          UNION ALL
  8          SELECT 'MAY-09' col_1, 1 col_2
  9            FROM DUAL
10          UNION ALL
11          SELECT 'ADJ-08' col_1, 1 col_2
12            FROM DUAL
13          UNION ALL
14          SELECT 'DEC-08' col_1, 2 col_2
15            FROM DUAL
16          UNION ALL
17          SELECT 'JAN-09' col_1, 2 col_2
18            FROM DUAL
19          UNION ALL
20          SELECT 'ADJ-09' col_1, 2 col_2
21            FROM DUAL)
22   WHERE UPPER (col_1) NOT LIKE 'ADJ%'; -- Restriction implied here
     COL_2 COL_1  MAX_PERIOD
         1 SEP-08 MAY-09
         1 MAY-09 MAY-09
         2 DEC-08 JAN-09
         2 JAN-09 JAN-09
4 rows selected.OR
2. Treat Adj% Value as NULL and continue. The following example might help:
SQL> SELECT * FROM TEST_TAB;
     SR_NO PERIOD_NAM
         1 MAR-08
         1 APR-09
         1 ADJ-08
         1 SEP-08
         2 ADJ-08
         2 JAN-09
         2 DEC-08
         2 NOV-08
8 rows selected.
SQL> SELECT sr_no, period_name,
  2             TO_CHAR
  3                (MAX (TO_DATE (CASE
  4                                 WHEN period_name LIKE 'ADJ%'
  5                                   THEN NULL
  6                                 ELSE period_name
  7                                 END,
  8                              'MON-RR'
  9                              )
10                    ) OVER (PARTITION BY sr_no),
11              'Mon-RR'
12              ) MAX_PERIOD
13     FROM test_tab;
     SR_NO PERIOD_NAM MAX_PERIOD
         1 MAR-08     Apr-09
         1 APR-09     Apr-09
         1 ADJ-08     Apr-09
         1 SEP-08     Apr-09
         2 ADJ-08     Jan-09
         2 JAN-09     Jan-09
         2 DEC-08     Jan-09
         2 NOV-08     Jan-09
8 rows selected.Regards
Jo
