Discoverer reports shows 'NULL' in columns where is no data
Hi All,
Discoverer report is showing NULL in columns where is no data.
please advise ASAP.
E-biz: 12.0.6
Database: 11.2.0.2
Discoverer: 10.1.2.55.26
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Kumar
In Discoverer BI DEsktop By default, it uses “NULL” text, but we can show Zero or blank then that report is executed as text report.
how can we set it as for all reports as default blank or zero.Have you reviewed the docs referenced above?
Please see these docs.
Discoverer 10.1.2/11g Worksheets Do Not Display Expected Null Format Setting After Modifying Tools Options [ID 311841.1]
Workbooks Show Wrong Null Format in Viewer/Plus After New Install or Upgrade from 4i to 10.1.2 [ID 352194.1]
Thanks,

Discoverer Report showing Null VS Show SQL query showing results !!!
I created a simple Cross Tab Discoverer report from a custom SQL which has a calculation for balances. The output is giving all null values even though there are balances. The output doesn't seem right. So I copied the query from Tools-->Show SQL and ran the query in the TOAD where I'm showing balances for the report. I don't understand why it is not showing in the discoverer. Please help.
Thanks

Discoverer Report showing invalid characters in the report data
Hi,
Can you please help me. I have designed a discoverer report in discoverer desktop 4i, when it is running the data showing some invalid characters in the data like below.
kara¿ah L¿MAK HOLD¿NG A.¿
I have executed the same query in sql plus at that time the data shows correctly. Please let me know, is there any settings required.
Best Regards,
Umamaheshwar.Hi Umamaheshwar
This could be a registry setting. Let me give you some background. In the Windows registy, every Oracle Home has a setting called NLS_LANG. This is the variable that controls, among other things, the numeric characters and the language used. The variable is made up of 3 parts. These are:
language_territory.characterset
Notice how there is an underscore character between the first two variables and a period between the last two. This is very important and must not be changed.
So, for example, most American settings look like this: AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8MSWIN1252
The second variable, the territory, controls the default date, monetary, and numeric formats and must correspond to the name of a country. So if I wanted to use the Greek settings for numeric formatting, editing the NLS_LANG for Discoverer Desktop to this setting will do the trick:
AMERICAN_GREECE.WE8MSWIN1252
Can you please check your settings? Here's a workflow:
a) Open up your registry by running Regedit
b) Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\ORACLE
c) Look for the Oracle Home corresponding to where Discoverer Desktop is installed. It's probably called KEY_ORANT
d) Clicking on the Oracle Home will display all of the variables
e) Take a look at the variable called NLS_LANG - if it is correct Exit the registry
f) If its not correct please right-click on it and from the pop-up select Modify
f) Change the variable to the right setting
g) Click the OK button to save your change
h) Exit the registry
Best wishes

Oracle Discoverer report shows drilldown icon in Web version
Hi ,
I am trying to create a new CROSS TAB Discoverer report. I made all my development done using the Discoverer desktop edition and is fine. When I saved in the database and showed the same report the User, in the Web Version, the report shows ' >' icon in all the cross tab headings and when the cursor is moved there, it gives an option to Drill down.
We have 3 fields which are selected but not shown in the report. It shows the drill down to those 3 fields.
My questions is:
1. I should not allow users to drill down. It should not show that option.
How to disable that option in the Web Version.
Any help in this regard is highly appreciated.
Thanks & Regards,
Kiran KesariYogini is correct, but the solution provided will remove drill capability for all users under all circumstances. This is a "shortcoming" of Disco. If you set up a hierarchy for the users to use for drilling, the users must have the drill out privilege. This has the additional effect of adding the "Drill to related..." feature to most (and I believe all) columns.

Discoverer report showing wrong output
Hi all
We have made a discoverer report called Generic Employee list which is having 37202 records. But in the front end it is showing only 7001 records.
I have checked that query in toad there i am getting 37202 records and i checked in discoverer desktop there it shows 37202 but when iam exporting it to Excel or CSV file it has only 10054 records.
Its urgent. Kindly advise on the same.
Thanks & Regards
NakshathraHi Nakshathra,
Go to Tools --> Options --> Query Governer, uncheck the Limit Retrived data Query, some times it will set to default 10000 records else manually you can set the limitation.
I hope this helps you.

BI Report showing NULL for decimal numbers
Oracle Business Intelligence 11.1.1.7.0
In an earlier version of BI we had an issue with our Reports where any numbers with digits after the decimal would return a blank result in the report (the correct numbers would still show up in the Data Model's sample data), but only when viewed as an Interactive report (PDF views were fine). However, after an upgrade it happened with any report views, not just the Interactive Report view. I found a work-around for this were I CAST each number column to Double Precision, and then it would show up fine. That worked for a few months, only now it doesn't work at all. After speaking with the system admin, I do no think any upgrades happened between when the CAST solution started working and when it stopped working.
Has anyone else witnessed this issue?Okay, apparently the CAST solution is still working, just not when I use a SUM (have not tested other aggregates). Creating a sub-query like below, however, works:
SELECT CAST(result AS DOUBLE PRECISION)
FROM
SELECT SUM(col_1) AS result
FROM table_1 -
Report showing in diff. currencies
Hi guys,
Problem: For a particular GL account the report shows values in EUR where in the parameters to retrieve data is 30(group currency).
Checked the ODS for that particular gl account & its showing in USD. I checked the transformation which loads from ODS to Cube. It looks ok.
Please let me know if i'm missing something. Appreciatesolved the issue....the issue was not in the transformation(ODS - Infocube), but in the ODS transformation......the currency field(RTCUR) was mapped to the transaction currency infoobject rather than to the currency infoobject

Invoking Discoverer Report from Zoom Menu Option
HI there
I've seen this on client site but never done it myself. Does anyone have any documentation or guidance on how to set up a form personalization so that the zoom menu option on a form links to a discoverer report, potentially passing parameter values to limit the data? Can forget the parameter side if it's complicated for now as we don't have any full requirements.
Many thanks for any help
Cheers, KateHi
Zoom functionality is very simple just follow the bellow steps
• Enter the Form Personalization form. (M) Help > Diagnostics > Custom Code > Personalize.
• Rule Seq: 10
• Description: Create Menu Item
• Trigger Event: WHEN-NEW-FORM-INSTANCE
• Context: User and set the value to your user name (don't forget to do this for every Rule you define)
• Select the Actions tab
• Actions Seq: 10
• Type: Menu
• Menu Entry: SPECIAL31
• Menu Label: Discoverer Report
• Rule Seq: 30
• Description: Open Discoverer Report
• Trigger Event: SPECIAL31
• Context: User and set the value to your user name
• Actions Seq: 10
• Type: Builtin
• Builtin Type: Launch a Function
• Function Code: XXX---Function name
• Function Name: wil be defaulted from the code
• Save your work and exit all the forms.

Cheers, KateHi,
You can use the Launch a URL or Launch a function builtin to link to a Discoverer report using Forms Personalization.
Look at Metalink Note:420541.1 and the Discoverer Configuration Guide for more details.

Hi ,
In your write back XML try the below query insert
INSERT INTO TABLE_XYZ (attribute1) values (SELECT CASE WHEN @{C1}=’Yes’ then 1 when @{C1}=’No’ then 0 else null end from dual)

Cross Tab Report...Calculated Column shows NULL
Hi there
I have one calculated field which is based on some calculation when I run my report in Discoverer Desktop I can see the 0 in NULL values in all rows.
But when I run this report in Discoverer Plus/Discoverer Viewer it shows me Null for some values or some values I can see the zeros.
I have checked the WorkBooks options its all set to 0.0.
1)
Edit---> WorkSheet Properties ---CrossTab Format ---Show Null values as 0.0
2)
Tools---> Options---> Sheet--->Show Null values as 0.0
3)
I have settings in Pref.txt which means Some reports I want to see the NULL values...
Pref.txt
NullValue = "NULL"
Do you have any idea..
Thanks
ASIMWell, I don't really have an idea what is happening, but i have a solution to hide nulls.
You can create an exception on the columns.
when column_name = Null then change the forecolor to match with the backcolor.
This will make the text and box of same color and will hide nulls.

A column in 4i showing Null & Blank simultaneously but not in 10g
Hi ,
Presently working on migrating data from discoverer 4i to discoverer 10g and post migration it seems to be succesful.
Though currently in a report we are facing the following issue :
A column in 4i viewer showing Null & Blank simultaneously but its not so in 10g.In 10g it is showing NULL only.
I tried working out with OPTION / Sheet----> Null and
even with FORMAT DATA / TEXT giving the category as NONE(depicting the format as in Database)
There was no difference with the above.
Kindly advice me regarding the above.
Regards
Sajit.Hi,

Interactive Report with Null Columns
I've got a user who wants to export an interactive report, and he needs certain columns to appear on the export for him to fill the data in later (this is an intermediate step, while we work on getting all the data he needs in to the database). I've created the report query, and there are a handful of null/empty columns (to preserve the correct order for the export). When I try to add this query to APEX in an interactive report, I get a "ORA-00001: unique constraint (APEX_040000.WWV_FLOW_WORKSHEET_COLUMNS_UK2) violated" error.
Googling around shows me that this happens because of similarly-named columns, and the solution is to provide aliases to all columns. My report has aliases on all columns, but I still cannot create an interactive report. I've tried changing the null columns to empty strings, as well as enclosing the aliases in double-quotes, but nothing works. I can however use my original query to create a standard report, but due to the export requirement, this isn't ideal.
I was able to create the interactive report with one null column, and then edited the report source to add in the others. This had to be done one at a time, since trying to add multiple null columns at the same time gives the same error again. Unfortunately, when I try and run the page, I get an "ORA-20001: get_dbms_sql_cursor error ORA-00918: column ambiguously defined" error.
My original query:
select customer.customer_name as customer,
project.name as project_name,
trunc(project.estimated_end_dt) as due_date,
project_status.project_status_desc as status,
null as revenue,
project.baseline_effort as baseline_hours,
null as projected_cost,
null as est_gain_loss,
project.actual_hours as actual_hours,
project.estimated_hours as projected_hours,
null as projected_cost,
null as projected_gain_loss,
null as roi
from project,
customer
where customer.customer_id = project.customer_id
and project.inactive_ind = 0
and project.customer_id is not null
and project.estimated_end_dt >= :DTP_P50_STARTDT
and project.estimated_end_dt <= :DTP_P50_ENDDT
order by customer.customer_name,
project.estimated_end_dt; Can someone tell me a way to create an interactive report with multiple null columns?Hi shimmoril,
The problem is likely that you have two columns aliased as "projected_cost" (7th column and 11th column).
Hope this helps,
John
