Display characteristic in Columns of Report

Dear All,
I am stuck up with an issue for quite sometime.
I need to display a characteristic in the column of the report just like we can do for a key figure.
In fact, I need to display this characteristic(Field value) in 2 separate columns of this report with two variables which select values for this characteristic to be displayed in 2 columns.
Like:
Fieldname -
Role------ Field Value -
Field Value
based on variable on Role(var1)----
based on variable on Role(var2)
Is it possible to do this in a report in BI 7.0 ?
Fieldname, Role and Field Value are characteristics.
Thank you
Regards
Shalabh Jain

Kiran,
Its not like that......
Actually.... it is only a single table on which i am reporting (including in Infoset and then virtual multiprovider).......Each InfoObject corresponds to each field in the table....this table has no key figure ...all Alphanumeric......
I want to display the report as .....
Initial input screen:
Role 1: SAP_XI_DEVELOPER_ABAP
Role 2: SAP_XI_DEMOAPP
These 2 are the variables created on InfoObject ROLE.
Report Output should look like:
Fieldname-----Role1Role2Value---Value
ACTVT-----SAP_XI_DEVELOPER_ABAP-SAP_XI_DEMOAPP$USER---$*
DEVCLASS--""T*--
Y*

Dynamically display drill-down column in report

We have two drill-down hierarchies 1. Calendar Year and 2. Fiscal Year.
In a report, we have year column along with some other measures. The year column must show the values based on user's choice - If the user is interested in fiscal then the year must show fiscal year else the year must show the calendar year values.
We thought of the following approach
1. Use a prompt - which displays Calendar/Fiscal.
2. Store the user selected prompt value (Calendar/Fiscal) in a variable
3. In the report, for the year column, use CASE logic on the variable to decide whether Calendar year or the Fiscal year must be shown.
This works well but the drawback is - the year isn't drillable anymore.
Any other alternatives to solve this ?
Thanks in advance

Are you showing the report on a dashboard or just in Answers? Do you want in-place drilling or can you jump to a new report?
One option is to enable navigation on the year column data and set it to jump a new report - you will need to pass the cell values as arguments in the URL - but if you want to just use plain old drill down (within the same report) I think you will have to use two reports, one for fiscal and one for calendar. Here we can get a little creative and use guided analytics to choose which of the two reports to show on the dashboard based on the selection made.

How can i reorder the columns in the do not display section of the interactive report.

Hi,
My interactive report contains 185 columns, and the user requieres to build his customized reports with some columns, but the he gets lost between this amount of columns, this would be easier if the columns in the do not display section of the interactive report would be sorted automaticaly, Is this possible?
Thanks a lot,

Hi Eva,
One solution would be to order the column names alphabetically. You can create a JavaScript dynamic action to handle the sorting.
The shuttle of the IR attribute "Select Columns" have the ID's "apexir_SHUTTLE_LEFT" or the Hidden colums and "apexir_SHUTTLE_RIGHT" for the displayed columns.
The function you'd need to create would look like:
var options = $('select#apexir_SHUTTLE_LEFT option');
var arr = options.map(function(_, o) { return { t: $(o).text(), v: o.value }; }).get();
arr.sort(function(o1, o2) { return o1.t > o2.t ? 1 : o1.t < o2.t ? -1 : 0; });
options.each(function(i, o) {
o.value = arr[i].v;
$(o).text(arr[i].t);
var options = $('select#apexir_SHUTTLE_RIGHT option');
var arr = options.map(function(_, o) { return { t: $(o).text(), v: o.value }; }).get();
arr.sort(function(o1, o2) { return o1.t > o2.t ? 1 : o1.t < o2.t ? -1 : 0; });
options.each(function(i, o) {
o.value = arr[i].v;
$(o).text(arr[i].t);
You'd need to find the propper timing for the dynamic action to run, I guess click of the button "Select Columns" would do the trick.

Display a blob column in a classic report

We are using Apex 4.0, and trying to display a blob on the report using: decode(nvl(dbms_lob.getlength(ci.photo),0),0,null,'<img src="'||apex_util.get_blob_file_src('P2_PHOTO',ci.ci_nbr)||'" height="75" width="75" />') img. What appears on the report is:
<img src="apex_util.get_blob_file?a=101&s=4433607511119466&p=2&d=4632627567686552&i=6506227756338792&p_pk1=1202016&p_pk2=&p_ck=B45D690EDA38F565BB6AC2BC859E2F0F" height="75" width="75" />
I am following the example in apex.oracle.com, your help will be much appreciated.
David.

Thanks for the response Jeffe, I did change the attribute to standard report column and I think it is going the right direction but now I am a blank box with a smaller box in the upper left corner with a red x in the box. If you have any ideas about this one that would be great.

Substitution string used in custom Report column name does not display in PDF version of report

I am using Apex 4.2.6.00.03, Apex Listener 2 via Glassfish4 and have set up all my applications and reports on this system. We previously used Oracle 10.2, with Apache with a custom fopping document.
My issue is that I have a report that has custom column headings using a substitution string to pull in the begin or end date for the report. When the report is run and displayed, the column headings appropriately display the date. However, when I try to set up the Print to PDF option, the column headings are not displaying correctly.
Is it possible to use a substitution string in the column heading? I am able to use the substitution string in the Page Header and Page Footer and those display correctly.
In the Report Attributes setup I have set the "Strip HTML" to Yes and I have four columns that are using the &"ITEM NAME". string. See below for actual display:
The report column headings in APEX displays correctly (bold is the substitution detail):
Fund Account Description Balance 07/01/2014 Budget/Goal FY 14-15 YTD Actual 02/28/2015 Ending Balance 02/28/2015
In the Print Attributes setup, when I get to the Report Columns section, the Heading column displays the headings as set up in the Report Attributes custom and I am not able to edit these names. See below:
In the version of the report that is Printed to PDF I get the following for display:
Fund Account Description Balance %26amp;P347_BEGIN_DATE. Budget/Goal %26amp;P347_FY. YTD Actual %26amp;P347_END_DATE. Ending Balance %26amp;P347_END_DATE.
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Pat

First, the misspelled word is a test object and not data.
Second, all data display correctly.
Third, text object is displaying the old misspelled word.
Fourth, I have eliminated the possibility that problems in of my pdf export routine cause this issue by exporting directly from Crystal Reports Viewer. I print the report to the crystal report viewer. The report looks good. The text object is spelled correctly. Then I click the Crystal Reports viewer's export button in the left upper corner and I export to both EXCEL and PDF. The excel export looks good. The pdf export is misspelled. All the export occurs internally in Crystal reports.
Fifth, I found outthat all users who have this problem have the ADOBE PDF writer installed. I am just suspicious that ADOBE writer is interferring with Crystal export
Sixth, I cannot recreate this problem on any of our development and test machines. It only happens on end-user laptops.
Seventh, I changed the name of the report that had this problem and created a new version and installed on end-user laptop. The behaviour still persists. User saved the report as both RPT and PDF. RPT export looks good. PDF version has the spelling problem. Data on both reports is up-to-date and good. I copied the same RPT export to my PC and exported it to PDF, the pdf looks good. That is why I think something on the end-users laptops is causing the export to use some cached template.
One more thing I did was to change the report name in VB.NET project, recreated a new package and installed on end-user's laptop. The same exact problem is still there.
I have worked with Crystal Reports more than 15 years and I have never such a weird behaviour before. I know this sounds very weird. We are all baffled by what is happening.

How to display top 2 countries in 2 columns in Report Designer

Hello Gurus ,
I have a requirement where top 2 countries has to be displayed in two different columns in Report Designer.
is there are way to do that, i tried many differetn ways but was not successfull, apart from creating text variables and writing customer exit.
I appreciate your help
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
I am not sure what version you are, from version 9.3 I think there is a "Top" function, just highlight the row, tick the option for "Top", set the number and the column
Failing that if you need to use rank could you not hide the column.
Cheers

Conditional display column in report

Hi,
If we have a single row report of 30 columns, and I want to display only the one with any values but null and hide the null ones, Is there a way to do it?
It's the same issue discussed in this thread conditional display column in report
thanks,
Fadi.

Samara - I suspect there are a few ways to do this, but none obvious or very easy as far as I can see.
You can create dynamic SQL (as Arie and others have suggested) to only include the columns that are not null.
You can build and output the HTML directly to the page, choosing only to include the values that are not null.
You can create a set of conditions that you can apply to the report columns. A very crude example might be 30 hidden page items like 'SHOW_COL1' etc. (not great, I know), or perhaps you could set a hidden page item to a value like '01:02:03:'etc., with the number only being included if the value is not null (so that col3 being null gives you '01:02::04'etc.), so that the condition for each column is 'Text in expr 1 in contained in Item in expr 2', where expr 1 is '01' for column 1 etc.
Sorry, that is a very contrived example, but it's just to illustrate that there's generally a way of doing pretty much anything in APEX. You might create your item containing the comparison expression by requerying the data in this kind of way:
SELECT NVL2(column1, '01', '') || ':' || NVL2(column2, '02', '') || ':' etc.
FROM table
WHERE condition
However, wanting to create a single-row report with nulls hidden makes we wonder what you're actually trying to achieve and whether there's a better way? Could you use a series of page items, for example?

Expression Error in Column Group report display

Logic # 1: If Column Group: Region. Value is EQUAL to "America Hub", the Value section needs to pull "Rev_Rec Date" Field.
Logic # 2: If Column Group: Region. Value is EQUAL to "EMEA" or "AMERICA" or "ASIA", the Value section needs to pull "Order Date" field.
Below is the column group expression I have entered. However, it displays as “ERROR#” in the report output.
I am not sure why the SSRS program show an error in Column Group in Matrix report format
=sum(IIf(Fields!REGION.Value = "America Hub", Fields!Rev_Rec_Date.Value, Fields!Order_Date.Value))
Appreciate if you can help me.
Thanks,

Hi Qiuyun,
Thanks for your feedback and example. Appreciated.
I have created 2 expressions. One is in Row Group and the other in Column Group in order to show different values in Row and column fields.
ROW FORMAT
Logic # 1: If Row Group: Region. Value is EQUAL to "America Hub", the Value section needs to pull "Billing Amount" Field.
Logic # 2: If Row Group: Region. Value is EQUAL to "EMEA" or "AMERICA" or "ASIA", the Value section needs to pull "Booking Amount" field.
Expression in ROW FORMAT:
=sum(IIf(Fields!REGION.Value = "America Hub", Fields!Billing_Amount.Value, Fields!Booking_Amount.Value))
COLUMN FORMAT
Logic # 1: If Column Group: Region. Value is EQUAL to "America Hub", the Value
section needs to pull "Rev_Rec Date" Field.
Logic # 2: If Column Group: Region. Value is EQUAL to "EMEA" or "AMERICA" or "ASIA",
the Value section needs to pull "Order Date" field.
Expression in “COLUMN FORMAT”:
=sum(IIf(Fields!REGION.Value = "America Hub", Fields!Rev_Rec_Date.Value, Fields!Order_Date.Value))
The Row Group expression is working properly. However the Column Group expression shows as ERROR #
I think I need to help based on the Column Group Logic # 1 and 2 above.

Hide columns in report on screen and display all in excel

I am very new to this application. Can anyone please tell me how to hide certain columns on the screen display and dump everything in excel.
Right now if I uncheck show for some columns in report attributes, it's not displayed in excel either. I would appreciate any help on this.
Thanks

I am very new to this application. Can anyone please tell me how to hide certain >>columns on the screen display and dump everything in excel.
Right now if I uncheck show for some columns in report attributes, it's not displayed in >>excel either. I would appreciate any help on this.Use htmldb_application.g_excel_format method.
for the items that you dont want in the report but want in CSV, just select that item and in its conditional display select PL/SQl expression and put htmldb_application.g_excel_format.
for items you want in report but not in CSV put - not htmldb_application.g_excel_format.
Else for columns that you want both in report and CSV, keep it blank.
Hope it helps.

Display Periods in Column headers for CO-PA report

How do i get the previous periods displayed in the column headers??

hi Sruthi....
In standard SAP, the only reports which are available are line item reports - KE24 (Actuals) and KE25 (Plan). However, using Report writer / painter we can create reports as per Business requirements.
Once we create reports as required, we can execute the same using transaction code KE30 (Execute report).
You can create / change / display COPA reports using transaction codes KE31 / KE32 / KE33 respectively.
Once again create the new Report and then execute it.....

Can we add a new column in report which is not in table.

Hi All,
Can we create a new column in report which is not in table.
I have two columns in my table completion_date, manufacture_date. If the difference between the completion_date and manufacture_date is 0, -1, 1 then the new column of the report will say on time against each record or else will display late. Any suggestion how to proceed on this
Regards
Edited by: User_Apex on May 16, 2011 5:54 AM

Standard report then, NOT an interactive report (which if you were using, you could build a computation and report on that)..
Then the adding a column in the query would be your best best...
