Displaying text whenever there is no value present in Database

CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
Hi
My business demands that a text 'Defaulted to Zero' be displayed if for a given combination of columns there is no data present in the Fact table.We use oracle 9i.
I have already used the number format where we put a value for the undefined value to display a text N/A where ever the value is not applicable.But i need to display text "Defaulted to Zero" wherever the value is applicable but NOT present in database!!
Can this be acheived in Bo level,I am using BO XI R2.?
This is a very urgent requirement as my project delivery is scheduled.!!
Many Thanks!!!

Suzie,
You can create a new local variable to report (called something like "NVP"), leave it as a "Dimension" and in the formula type:
if([col_a]=0 or [col_b]=0;"NO VALUE PRESENT")
Basically, you are using the "if" function and the syntax is very much like used in excel except you separate the arguments with a semi-colon versus a comma. You start out with "if()" and within the parenthesis is a logic statement followed by when true do this else that (with the "else that" portion optional as shown above). The drawback to using a local variable is that every report you write must be customized with the local variable versus establishing this logic in a "case" statement when building the data mart and thus it becomes resident and usable like any other column of data in your database. In some cases you are forced in using it as a local variable due to variations in the data and the logical outcome is not known until the very end of all computations, and at other times you can get away with embedding the logic at the time of constructing your data mart -- it all depends on how the data is used and sliced and diced. Good luck and write back if you have any further questions.

Cumulative Percent only displaying when there is a number present

Hi
I am using the below cumulative percent formula for a chart and pivot table display (see below code). The problem is that the cumulative percent and cumulative number are only showing up in the pivot table when there is a number to cumulate (see below screenshot).
While this makes sense logically, I would like to see the value in the prior row appear when there is no value to cumulate so that there is always a value displaying for the user--see second screenshot.
Does anyone know if there is a way to do this?
Paul
Code:
=(CALCULATE(countrows(s1Perm1),FILTER(ALL(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]),s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory] <= MAX(s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory]))))/(CALCULATE(COUNTROWS(s1Perm1),ALL(s1Perm1[Exit],s1Perm1[ExitMonthCategory])))
Current result:
Desired Result:

Hi Greg
I tried your solution above and it works from the perspective that it can provide the cumulative number and cumulative percent for a column where the values in the column are all present.
However, the column I am using represents exit months from foster care actually. There are different month values in the column: .5,1,2,3,4,5,6,9,12,15,18,21,24..... With the exception of .5 to 6 months, they are in 3 month intervals. For this particular
table, I would like to show only those month values that represent 6 month intervals: 6, 12, 18, 24.....
When I do this, the cumulative number only sums the values for the columns that are present in the table and not all the actual values. This gives a different number and is not correct.
Is there a way to get the above function to aggregate all values of a column even when not all values are displayed in the pivot table?
The function I am using is:
=countrows(s1Perm1)
Correctly aggregating values for exit months when they are all present:
When I only display 6 month intervals, only those values present for the column are cumulatively summing. This is not correct:

How to display texts automatic. besides entered value for a field in Trans.

How to display texts automatically besides the entered value for a field in a standard transaction screen. For example you have a value table and a text table associated to it. Then on entering the value field and pressing enter the text associated should get displayed immediately besides the value. Like if you have 'LOC' as the value and 'Location' as the text associated to it, on entering this value 'LOC', you automatically get the text 'Location' printed besides it automatically in a transaction screen ?

Hi sarika,
Welcome to SDN.
1. first of all, such display of text,
   is not automatic.
   (it appears to be automatic)
2. At design time,
   a) take one extra field for text
     and mark it as OUTPUT ONLY
3. Then in PBO coding,
    call some module, and in that module
    write code
4. The code should be to
   select from TEXT Table
   into the work area.
EG. THE SCREEN TEXT FIELD NAME IS
T510A-FIELDNAME.
CLEAR t510a.
SELECT SINGLE * FROM t510a INTO t510a
WHERE trfar = FIELVALUE.
5. This will take care of
   displaying the text value of that field.

An advice regarding how best values from a database can be displayed

Hello All,
I must thank this forum for being friendly and very helpful.I have another question here.I hope that this is the right forum for this post.
I have a MS Access database, which has a table with attributes.I am using Java 1.4.2 and Tomcat 5.0.28.
I want to display on a .jsp page the values present in the "courses" attribute of the database table.
The displayed courses should have "check boxes" associated with them, so that any of them can be checked and on submit must give the other entries associated with that checkbox(course).I hope my problem statement is clear.
It would be great if people could spend some time to read this message and guide me in the right direction.
Any help would be greatly appreciated
TIA
AS

Some pseudocode to help you along:
make an html form
make an html table
put html table header row(s) in
query database: select courses from table
for each row
---make an html table row
---make an html table cell with an html form checkbox
in it
---make an html table cell with the course displayed
in it
---end table row
end for
end html table
make a submit button for the form
end form
Have the form submit to another page that looks at
which checkboxes were submitted and does a similar
query / display routine.
The exact implementation of this is quite variable
depending on whether you're using taglibs, JSTL,
beans, J2EE, and/or whatever.
Take your pick. :)
HTHThanks for the time and information as to how I could get started with this particular check box issue.
I would like to use simple jsp i am guessing at this point.
Thanks again

How to get selected item value and display text in selectOneChoice ?

Hi
Thank you for reading my post
I bind the a selectOneChoice component to my backing bean so i have an object which represent this component in the backing bean.
now i need to find which item is selected by use , i know that i can use
getSelect_service().getValue.toString() , but it will return the value of the selected item, how about its display text ?
I should say that i create an static list for selectOneChoice items.
thanks

Using JDeveloper 10.1.3.1, freshly downloaded off OTN. I used the following code to try and identify the problem you are encountering. I attempted to use a valueChangeListener in combination with af:selectOneChoice components that use SelectItems and the singular SelectItem. I could not reproduce the error in either case. Please post more information about your development environment.
          <af:selectOneChoice label="Label 1"
                              binding="#{backing_test.selectOneChoice1}"
                              id="selectOneChoice1"
                              valueChangeListener="#{backing_test.valueChangeListener}"
                              autoSubmit="true" immediate="true">
            <af:selectItem label="1" value="1"
                           binding="#{backing_test.selectItem1}"
                           id="selectItem1"/>
            <af:selectItem label="2" value="2"
                           binding="#{backing_test.selectItem2}"
                           id="selectItem2"/>
            <af:selectItem label="3" value="3"
                           binding="#{backing_test.selectItem3}"
                           id="selectItem3"/>
          </af:selectOneChoice>
          <af:selectOneChoice label="Label 2"
                              binding="#{backing_test.selectOneChoice2}"
                              id="selectOneChoice2"                              valueChangeListener="#{backing_test.valueChangeListener}"
                              autoSubmit="true" immediate="true">

        System.out.println(evt.getSource().getClass().getName());
        // returns a string

Uprgrad to ios7 calender won't display text entered. the appointment entered is there becauwse it alerts me to appointments entered

Calender won't display text entered for appointments.
The appointments are there as the phone alerts me as requested. Also the appointments are synced with icloud and Outlook on my computer.
Any appointments entered in computer do not show on phone but are there.

I've managed to fix this!
In case it's helpful to anyone encountering this problem, here's what I did.
I went into the preferences (through the Calendar app, not the System Preferences - didn't want to remove the entire account info, in case I encountered problems getting my email to link again), clicked on the Account tab and removed the Exchange account (by clicking the "-" (minus) sign below the listing of accounts). I then added an account (clicking the "+" sign) and re-entered the information. When asked if I wanted to add these settings for Mail and Contacts, I unclicked those options (bc they're already installed and work fine). Once I completed the information, I closed the settings window, and hit ⌘+R to refresh and all the Exchange appointments appeared.

How to pop up alert "No Data found" if there are no values in database

Hi All,
Please tell me how to pop up alert if there is no data found and all fields are null in report for given parameter value. or else is there any way to trigger user while entering parameter value that wrong parameter value. (I dnt want to use drop down) in my report.
Please help me. Any help will be valuable.
Thanks.

There's no way that I know of to do this as a "Pop-up", but providing a "no records returned" warning still easy enough to do.
Just insert a new Report Header section...
Add a text box that has whatever message you'd like to display.
Right click the new header section and choose Selection Expert
Click the X-2 button next to Suppress (No Drill-Down)
Enter a formula similar to this...
IF COUNT({TableName.FieldName}) < 1 THEN FALSE ELSE TRUE
This will suppress the warning if records are present and display it if there are none.

How to display TEXT more than 500 char in a report as multiple lines.

Hi Friends,
i have a requirement like i should display Texts of length more than 500 Characters in a report( ALV LIST) as multiple lines
I am fetching the data Using FM READ_TEXT
the output im currently geeting with 150 Char in lenth as a single line
How we can split the text into multiple lines in a report
first i would like to know is it possible? if possible please give your valuable suggitions if not is there any alternative way to do this task.
Thanks & regards
kumar.

Hi,
This is possible but the Solution might not look Standard/Appropriate to you.
In ALV, you can have Multiple Line Output...There is a Field in the Field Catalogue..called as Row_position...this is by default 0...which means Single row/Line ALV output....You can have this Value in the Range of 0 to 3.......A ALV field with row_position 1, will be displayed in the second line for every record...i.e. you will have multiple line for a single record of ALV.
In your case......you can use this but you need to split your field in two fields.....but you may end up spliting a single word....but for that also you can design the logic of splitting the Fiel value at SPACE only......
This may work.......and Sorry if not work......

Display text (returned by function) after tabelar forom submit...

Hi guys...
Is there any possibility to display text returned by function after tabular form submit?
If yes please tell me how :)
With regards,
PsmakR

The value of the selected row's Display column ("Choice B", for example) is not stored in the field -- only the value of the selected row's Value column ("2") is. With the DDLB's item list loaded the form is able to translate "2" (Value) to "Choice B" (Display) so you see "Choice B". With the DDLB's item list empty there is no way to translate "2" to "Choice B" so you see "2".
If you do not want to save the DDLB's item list with the form you would need to preserve the selected row's Display column in another, possibly hidden, field then use that to display the translated Value.
