Displaying Query filters on a report to print

I would like to display the query filters that I have used in my query filters display on the report, is there any way to do this? Are you able to create a variable and populate it with the query filters?

yes
you can use a function called
UserResponse
=UserResponse("My Filter Text here")
or if you have more than one query
=UserResponse([Query 1];"My Filter Text here")

Display Query Description in Header in PDF Print

Hi all,
When using PDF Print option I would like to print the Query Description in the Header. From the dialog box I only see options for Data, Time, Pages and custom text. Can you please let me know how can I print the Query Description in the Header while using PDF Print.
Thank you,
Ram

Yes I understand but that is not what I mean.
1. I have assigned a document to a certain query element in the BW metadata repository. This document contains a short report description and the purpose with it.
2. Now I want to display this information within a "information field" under the information tab when running a report.
Is it possible to display this information with a standard sap text element web item?

Crystal Reports for Enterprise - cannot change operator in query filters

Hi,
I am trying to apply multiple filters in a query for a Crystal Report (for Enterprise), but I can only use the default AND operator, whereas I need the OR operator. Supposedly you can change the operator by double clicking it, but it just didn't work with me.
Ýour help is highly appreciated,
Victoria

Hello Victoria,
You can try out Toolbar->Data->Formula->Record Filter. Here you can just type in your filter and the operators are available on the left hand side. (If they are not, then check on the top left. You might see a button to switch to "Advanced" formula workshop). On the ledt hand side drill down the operator->Boolean->AND(x and y).
Hope this helps.

Strange display of query components in the report

hey,
when I create a query and execute the report, there are always these empty lines (sometimes 4 or so) between characteristics, key figures and free characteristics.
Maybe it's important to tell you that I am using external hierarchies and variables in the querry definition.
How get ride of those empty lines?
Cheers
Sabine

Hi Sabine,
It is normal to have one free line / empty row between the free chars and filter cells and the result area. Now when you execute the query for the first time, there is one row. If you go to edit the query (without closing the workbook) and then re-execute the query, you will see the extra lines coming in, and it corresponds to as many times you go to change the query and reexecute it. To avoid this, just close the workbook and then reexecute the query.
Hope this helps...

Database report header prints info not in filtered info ??

I have a database where I sort on a division ID #, a location and salary. I then find records of a particular division # for a report. In the report I use a layout that has a report header with the NAME of the division, not the ID #, along with the location, page number and date. When I pick the report from the report choices the header contains the correct name of the division but when I go to print (either a file - print preview or file and just print to paper) the NAME of the division defaults to the NAME of the division in the LAST record in the entire sorted database. Page 2 and any remaining pages of the report contain the correct division name, it is only the first page that has the error. The only report that prints correctly is the one that reports on the last division. What am I doing wrong?
Frustrated ...... Richard

Hi Harshith,
I have already tried for custom button and code to download into excel and it works fine for normal case.
But when the user will sort on any filed then the report gets modified (gets grouped etc). In that case my code gets failed as i am getting the report data from the context node which in this case will be simple but diiferent as what user is seeing on the screen.
so is it possible to get the report data (currently visible in the screen).
Thanks in advance

Date object doesn't work in query filters

I'm trying to create a universe object called Next Biweekly Pay End Date. Some background: there is an end date for our biweekly payrolls every 14 days, and the logic behind the object is basically that if there was a biweekly pay end date 7 days ago, the next one is 7 days from today (that is, sysdate + 7), etc.
I have it working so that it displays the correct date when used in a WebI report. However, when I use it in a query filter in a WebI report (like, Pay End Date = Next Biweekly Pay End Date), I don't get an error, but I also don't get any data. Somehow my object doesn't work in a query filter. The purpose of the object is for use in query filters, so I need to get this to work.
My best guess about why it doesn't work in a query filter is due to some issue with the data type. Pay End Date has a data type of date in the universe. I gave Next Biweekly Pay End Date a data type of date also, but the query filter still doesn't work; I get "no data to fetch."
We're using XI 3.1.6 and Oracle 10. Any ideas about how to get this to work?
If it helps, here is the definition of Next Biweekly Pay End Date. The logic is that it takes today's date, subtracts Oct. 31, 2009 (a biweekly pay end date), divides by 14, and looks at the remainder. If the remainder is 0, then today is a pay end date and the next one is 14 days from now. If the remainder is 1, yesterday was a pay end date and the next one is 13 days from now, etc.
case
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 0 then (sysdate + 14)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 1 then (sysdate + 13)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 2 then (sysdate + 12)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 3 then (sysdate + 11)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 4 then (sysdate + 10)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 5 then (sysdate + 9)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 6 then (sysdate + 8)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 7 then (sysdate + 7)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 8 then (sysdate + 6)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 9 then (sysdate + 5)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 10 then (sysdate + 4)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 11 then (sysdate + 3)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 12 then (sysdate + 2)
when mod((trunc(sysdate)) - (to_date('31/10/2009')),14) = 13 then (sysdate + 1)
end

Thanks for the suggestions.
I did some more testing, and there seems to be something more complicated going on. I ran the following code in SQL*Plus:
SELECT distinct M_PYDW1.PYSTATUS.DW_OWNER,
case
when to_date(sysdate, 'dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') >= to_date('01/01/2010','dd/mm/yyyy hh24:mi:ss') then To_Date((sysdate - 2),'dd/mm/yyyy')
else to_date(sysdate +2, 'dd/mm/yyyy')
end
FROM M_PYDW1.PYSTATUS
The condition should be true, because the sysdate (today is Jan. 20) is greater than 1/1/2010, so I should get a result of sysdate - 2 (Jan. 18). But the result I get is Jan. 22 (sysdate +2). It seems that the comparison is failing even though I'm formatting both sysdate and 1/1/2010 as dates with a timestamp. What could cause that?
One more mystery: when I run the same code as above in a WebI report (using custom SQL), I get the error ORA-1830, date format picture ends before converting entire input string.

How to Display Query Variables in Text Titles?

Hi experts,
I have created a web template that has a query parameter screen and then displays the results in the form of charts and tables.
My question is how do I display the parameters entered by the user in a chart title?
For example if the user enters a date range of ISO Week 19 to 23, I want to display the chart title as: "Report Results - Week 19 to 23".
I also want to do the same for a general title. I've tried using information fields, but they don't allow me to add additional text.
Maybe I need to use some java script to get the parameter value?
Keep in mind I am just starting out with this and I am using BW7.0 with the WAD.
Thanks in advance for any assistance.

Thanks for your response.
I think you are referring to 3.5? Maybe 7.0 handles it differently?
I've tried entering free text and then putting in a text web item that is hooked up to a data provider with a characteristic but that only prints out the characteristic header and not the actual value selected by the user.
For example, I have the following:
Report for week <text web item>
Returns:
Report for week ISO Week
I would like it to return:
Report for week 19
Thoughts?

Displaying query values horizontally

I have a subreport with a query that returns a single field.
WHat I'd like to do is display it as a list on one line, as opposed
to showing each item on its own line. I couldn't find a
straightforward way to do this, so I tried to come up with a hack
but it's not working too well. What I did was simply output one
field with ValueList(query.FieldName, ", ") and then set the Print
When on the band to query.CurrentRow EQ 1 . Unfortunately the
ValueList() function doesn't seem to be working properly for this.
I tried setting the query to advanced and specifying a query name,
then using that query name in the function and that doesn't work
either. Anybody has any idea how to get ValueList() working or how
to solve my particular problem?

I came up with a solution for this, here it is for the
benefit of others. Basicaly, I created a report function that would
build the list for me. The function is as follows:
<cffunction name="outputAsList">
<cfargument name="qData" />
<cfargument name="col" />
<cfset list = "" />
<cfloop from="1" to="#qData.recordcount#" index="i">
<cfif i GT 1>
<cfset list = list & ", " />
</cfif>
<cfset list = list & qData[arguments.col]
/>
</cfloop>
<cfreturn list />
</cffunction>
Then I set Print When on the subreport band to
query.CurrentRow EQ 1 so that the list would only get output once.
Then in the field I put the following expression:
report.outputAsList(query, "MyColName")
Works fine. Yet another hack, of course, but that's the way I
managed to get what I needed, since ValueList just won't play
nice.

Printing a report with print sheets from the portal

It is my understanding that a print sheet uses a variant to make a connection between the variable settings set in the web portal and the variable / filtering settings that are used when printing a report. It is also my understanding that without a print sheet and variant that when a user prints a report from the portal that the printed report would not have the same filtering (variable settings) as what the user sees in the report. I have created a report and a print sheet that uses a variant, but when we view reports in the portal there is not a print icon... we can only print from the browser. Printing from the browser only prints what is on the screen, not a formatted report set up in the reporting agent. How do I print a report that uses a variant and a print sheet set up in the reporting agent to be available to print from the portal... i.e. display an icon to print the report? If you have a better or more detailed explanation of what a print sheet is and how to set it up, please include that as well.

The BW Reporting agent print settings is used for batch printing of BW reports not online printing from the web.
Currently there are no SAP delivered formatted reporting print functionality for BW. BI 7.0 will have formatted reporting and PDF export options.
SAP had recently released a How to Document on printing using MS Excel. See the attached link for the same.

How to pass parameter value as "where [fieldname] = [fieldvalue]" in sql query under query type in SSRS report?

I am having trouble with passing dynamic string to sql query for executing SSRS reports.
I am using oracle database and I want to pass where clause parameter as "where LAND_NR = 6" to my select query.
For example: I want to execute Select * from employee :p_where.
where p_where parameter holds value "where LAND_NR = 6"
So it will treat as "Select * from employee where LAND_NR = 6" statement which will give me the list of records to display in my reports.
But it's not taking correct sql command throwing an error as "SQLcommand not properly ended."
How can I achieve this?

You need to use dynamic sql
But please keep in mind that since you're using Oracle you may be better off posting this in some Oracle forums
This forum is specifically for SQL Server

Xml report to print AR invoices to multiple companies

Hi,
can anyone help me to work on this issue, I need to Develop one XMLP report that prints AR invoices for multiple companies, and multiple invoices for each company.
It will be thankful, if anyone help me to come out of this issue. I need it urgently
Thanks

Hi
Are you working in EBusiness Suite or another ERP app? IF so then there are already invoice reports built out of the box that you can use quite quickly.
If not then you need to find out from your users what they want to see on the invoice, then map that to the columns in tables and then write the query to extract the data.
