Hi,
all the values in a selection screen are variables, and in the report designer is't possible to add the variables of a query, so I think it must be possible to add your selection.
But this is only possible if you first execute the report to the web and not directly to PDF...
First add a report section with different rows and columns, and then drag and drop the variables...
Greatz

How can I re-display the header of table on next pages (report designer)

In the report designer, I insert a data provider. The fist line is the field name.
When I browse the report, the field name line can't display on the second page, only on the first page.
How can I do to display it on next pages?
Thanks
Eva

Look at the code of the MouseListener to see what method it invokes and then just invoke the method directly.
Or you can create a MouseEvent and use the Component,dispatchEvent(...) method.

Calculationg current and past year for a Analysis report in obiee 11.5

Dear All,
Need some help here.
I am a beginner in OBIEE and need some help to build a report in obiee 11.5 as described below;
I need to create a PnL report such that I show current years profit and loss AND prior year profit and loss figures in a report side by side for comparitive analysis for user.
My data is an essbase database, and have a years dimension with values 'current year' , 'F08', and 'Prior Year'. and other measurs such as revenue, % revenue, gross profit, cost of sales, operating expenses etc. (I am using 107 from oracle downloads) for obiee 11.5
There is another dimesion called time period with members as Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, and each having respective months (e.g. Jan, Feb, Mar for Q1 etc)
I also have a scenario dimension with members as Actual, plan, Forecast, Wht -if..
Now I need to create a this report.
I created this report based on approch no 1 below;
Appraoch 1
- Create two analysis reports with all the above columns.
- specify filter for year column equal to current year for first report
- specify filter for year column equal to prior year for second report
- create a dashboard with a promt (radio button) based on column scenario
- create two sections placed side by side below the promt and place above two reports in those two sections so that they appear side by side
Nw when I run this dashboard, it works fine, and shows me the current and prior data for actual, plan etc...
BUT....
I need to create the same reports using a single analysis report instead of two separate reports with hardcoded values for year filter.
Now I tried use AGO funtions on but , it requires a column with numerical value so that it can calculate the past year, but in my case year is a column hving text value and hence i cant use it.
I would like to know how to build such a report using any other variable or function or any rpd level modifitions.
If I had a year dimesion with numeric values, then how would I use to calculate the past year once u select current year .?
Let say values are 2012, 2011, 2010 etc. so If I select 2012 as current year, I should get data for 2012, and 2011, if I select 2011, then I should get data for 2011 ,and 2010.
Please help me to build logic either at analysis level or at repository level
Thanks and Regards
Santosh

Hi,
As per I understand your requirement,
In Pivot table, place 'Year' in pivot columns instead of rows.
Create an SQL filter on Year and put the condition as:
*"Year" BETWEEN @{Presentation_Variable} - 1 AND @{Presentation_Variable}*
You will get the result for selected year and the previous year.
Hope it helps..

Compatibility of Past-Years Cinema Display with Macbook Pro Late 2011, and other displays.

Hello.
I'm inquiring about the compatibility of Apple cinema displays from years past with Macbook Pro 15" Late 2011.
For instance, will all Apple Cinema Displays from, say, 2008 onwards work with my mbook?
They can be had fairly cheaply on the used market.
What is the earliest model that will be compatible?
I've never had an external monitor for my lappies, so I am very clueless. I know DVI is a common connection, but there is no DVI port on my lappie.
I would also be very curious as to what would be suitable displays from other manufacturers, particularly Samsung and Dell.
The size doesn't have to be big, 20-23 inch is fine, I am more worried about good resolution [no obvious pixellation]
If a screen is big, but has good resolution that's even better of course, but I'm not ****-bent on a big thing.
The mbook 15" screen is just a bit squashy for home use really.
Thank you very much in advance for any advice.
Feel free to link me to other threads as an answer, I have done a bit of searching around, but still confused.

I have the same MBP and recently bought a 23" cinema display on Craigslist for $140. It works great. I had a display port to DVI adapter and it worked fine. Built a stand to hold the laptop vertically so it's out of the way. Don't know about older displays but anything with DVI should work fine.
The screen size and resolution are great for photo editing. I now have the best of both worlds, a display that rivals my wife's iMac and portability.

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

How to hide currency ($) display in Report Designer

Hi Reporting experts,
My query has amounts in keyfigure structure. When I use WAD or run directly from the query the display of $ sign is showing only on the top row, but when I use the same query in the report designer the $ is showing on every cell. How to avoid displaying the $ in RD.
Thanks for your help.

Ram,
Create a formula and use the function NODIM(<your KF>) and hide you KF column which shows the $ sign. This would suppress the $ sign.
Hope this helps...

Graphic/Image not displayed with conditional formatting in Report Designer

We are facing problems with displaying an image in a conditional formatting in the Report Designer. The image itself is in the mime repository and can be displayed in the report if no conditional formatting is used. But if it is used the image doesn't appear in the report.
Backend setup: SP 8
Frontend setup: Patch 8, hotfix 2, Revision 95
Any help is highly appreciated.
Sven

Hi,
I could not reproduce your problem in internal SP8 system. Also images in rows with conditional formatting are displayed.
Do you get any errors after the execution in the portal?
Try to use exactly the same image in both rows (drag-and-drop with CTRL key pressed).
If then your problem still occurs, open a customer message. Describe your problem in detail and write technical name of the report you used.

Dynamic Filter Display in Report Designer

Hi All,
We have implemented a new BI reporting tool and are using Report Designer for the output format. The problem is that we cannot see any dynamic filters or navigational level when printing as RD takes it back to the original format. To overcome this issue, we have given the same query with the variable selection so that RD always prints the variable selection but this has reduced performance.
Anyone with ideas to overcome this situation or any workarounds will be appreciated.

Display exceptions with Report Designer

Hi,
i want to create a Report with the Report Designer.
My Data Provider is a Query with exceptions.
Now the Report Designer don't show the exceptions.
Is there a possibility to show exceptions with the Report Designer?
Thx for help
Mike

Right, unfortunately the report designer does not support Exceptions.
I ask me, why not?
The representation of very good or negative values with different colours, would be a useful feature. Thus you must mark every single cell hand by hand in corresponding colours and must also know the exactly position of the suitable value.
Is there a workaround?
Does anybody know, if this feature will be a part of Report Designer in future?

Report Designer - Error while opening a saved report

Hi,
I am not sure if this is an authorization issue or configuration issue.
When I try to open a saved report on Report designer, I keeping getting an error: Report Version is invalid: "0".
Has anybody faced similar problem?
We are on SP09.
Regards,
Payal.

Payal,
I am afraid, that your report might be corrupted. This might have happened, if in tx SE16 the version is changed. The Report XML displayed in SE16 for table RSERDATA, is limited to ca. 1024 charachters. When editing the version, after pressing the save button, the Report XML is cut off at 1024 charachters and the report is lost.
Please do not set the report version in tx SE16!
I will need to configure the program RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN, such that reports with version "0" can be saved with the minimum version 9.0.
Until then I recommend the following procedure for Reports that are ok, but have the Version "0" bug:
1) in tx SE38, program: RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN
    open your report with option "DT" (designtime)
2) Switch to Edit mode.
    Make a backup copy of the report using the "Save As" Button.
    You can copy the Report XML to the clipboard using Ctrl-A, Ctrl-C
3a) Open a dummy report in RS_REPORT_MAINTAIN created previously with
      Report Desginer ( --> The version is set to 9.0).
      Switch to edit mode and paste the Report XML and Save.
or
3b) Debug FUNCTION rs_bex_report_load_rfc.
      Open a report and change the value of E_REPORT_VERSION to "9.0"
      before leaving the function.
Hope this helps, karim
P.S.
I will update note 1016224

Can anybody help me how do I design such report....
Thanks

Hi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.
Any question, please feel free to let me know.

9iDS Release 2 Report Designer Crashes

I have had numerous crashes over the past few weeks using this tool. As a background, I now have about 25 reports. Sometimes, I go into each one and "tweak" the report to change parameter sizes, layout, footer, etc. I "hand" edit some of these because I never seem to be able to re-load the template without some error. I don't know the tool very well, but, it's got a lot of great features. If it didn't crash or hang, numerous times, it would be great. One morning, recently, I was trying to update all the reports (22 of them) and print a sample page for my customer. I was ensuring the logo was the right one, the page footer was right, etc. I recieved no less than 10 crashes, forcing a restart of the tool each time. Needless to say, I wasted a lot of time doing that and wasn't able to go through all 22 reports I am running under Windows 2000 SP2 (and also under Windows XP Pro, SP1). This is both before and after applying 9.0.2.0.4 patch. Note, now that I know how to create templates, the logo, footer, etc issues are really not the problem, rather the crashes.
Sorry for the long list here in one message, but it seems to be large pattern and can be frustrating at times.
Template "Reapplication" issues:
1) Reapplying self-made template after only changing font and font size in template to make it smaller: I get a "No column is selected in group 'my group name'. Each report produces a different result, but that's the error message -- actually, I just tested this again. I don't even have to try to open re-apply the template specifically. I open the report wizard and click finish and get this, no matter what I do in the wizard. Is that the only way to reapply the template (especially, since I only want to get the font changes and color changes).
2) Clicking OK to the above error OFTEN (most of the time), produces "Instruction at 0x64e39295 referenced memory at 0x8b501045. The memory could not be read. In some cases, this happens after I select cancel in the reports wizard, when I received the error #1 above.
Because I don't understand problem #1 very well and because I frequently receive error #2, I end up opening the "old" report, copying the SQL query, closing the "old" report and generating a new report, using the template and then re-sizing the columns of the report. If someone could help with #1, that would be most helpful. That may or may not prevent the errors below. Most of my reports are "paper and web layout" and "group left" with 2 or 3 levels of groups, if that makes a difference. Also, all of my queries have lexical parameter "where_clause", allowing dynamic augmenting of where_clause.
3) The pattern of operations is: open old report, Grab SQL, close old report, generate new report via reports wizard, make report look right (fix column widths, make count columns right justified and displayed with "0,0" formatting, insert bookmarks, update user_parameter where_clause (see below) to be 4,000 characters). Save as and pick old name, when complete, save report, close report and open next report. I get through 2, 3 or 4 reports and then I get a crash. There are a two errors that I consistently see:
a) During open of report: XML Parser failure, then the crash
b) Unable to load string resource, then crash.
c) During close of report, The instruction at 0x64af3d4f referenced memory at 0x00001f55. The memory could not be read.
4) the template has user parameter defined "where_clause" 4,000 characters. I thought the template would supply that, but every time the reports wizard takes my query with the &where_clause, it resets the parameter size to 40 characters. I think that's because I'm seeing the message: Note: the query Q_1 has created the lexical parameter(s) 'where_clause', and I think that's overriding my template because at this point in the wizard I haven't even picked my template.
5) Alt-tabbing away from Reports back and forth (while creating this message, in fact), I have received the following twice while in reports wizard, after getting the exact text of the lexical parameter dialog mentioned above. The error: "The instruction 0x65134268 referenced memory at 0x00000044. The memory could not be read.
I hope these issues will be resolved in the near future. This is a great reporting tool, but with these kinds of errors, it's frustrating to use.
Regards,
Jeff

Hi Jeff,
Issue #1 occurs because of the report wizard. When you need to make a change, not the entire report, you should not use the wizard, use the Layout editor instead, in your case you can open the report design in the layout editor to change the font size/color of the fields then run the report and save it.
The wizard, when invoked, will start the whole new report design and expect new selections for the design, in your case, it expects you to select the fields to be displayed in the group(s) again, that is why you got the error, and I belive this error is the cause to other errors. You can test to see in the wizard, after you apply the new template don't click Finish yet, but go to the Group and Field tabs you will see . Even after you select the fields for the group when you run you will see that the report has new layout which looks completely different from the previous layout.
Good luck.
