Dynamic Columns in xcelsius Enterprise

Hi all
i am the new xcelsius designer. i have some problems want all of you help me.
I want to create dynamic columns in crystal xcelsius.
Is it possible to do that?
if it is possible, Can u tell me how i can do?
and what component should i use?
Best Regards.

You have various options available to you
1) Within excel using formula logic
2) Use Live Office or BI Web Services to generate a crosstab view within the reporting tool and bring this into Xcelsius
3) 3rd party add-ons, there is a crosstab modeler from BDI Systems than can be used to translate data from row based to a crosstab view
http://www.bdisys.com/index.php/productsfulltext/xcelsius-componentsmenu/submenu3
4) XWIS from Antivia (http://www.antivia.com). As you have no investment with data connectivity with Xcelsius just yet, you can gain massive productivity gains by using a tool like XWIS. Not only does it provide a crosstab data component but can handle 1000's of rows of data.
Regards and good luck,
Steve

  • Dynamic Data in Xcelsius Dashboard via ExcelXML Map?

    Hello,
    I am trying to create a dashboard with a grid with a variable number of rows and columns. The data is given to Xcelsius through an Excel XML map i.e. I have given an XML source to an Excel file and then have imported that excel file into Xcelsius.
    I am able to see dynamic data changes within the pre-specified dimensions (i.e. from the first import). For example, if I have a 4X5 grid and change the text in the first row and first column, then Xcelsius will reflect this. However if I add an additional row with data in the xml file, I am not able to see this, even if I resize the the grid so that it has room at the bottom to be filled in.
    Does anybody have any experience with this/can anyone point me to specific articles? I have followed the instructions given in the Tech Tips article, but this only applies to data within a specific structure, while I want to change the structure itself.
    In short, is it possible to do dynamic structures in Xcelsius?
    Thanks.
    Regards,

    Hi,
    Please go to Data>Connections>Excel XMl maps under usage tab please check if you have set the options "Refresh on load" or "refresh every".
    If not, please select the refresh option and save the xlf file and then try to create a dashboard again.

    In my report I have to get these record typpes as field name dynamically whichever is available in that lookup and record values against them.
    its a BI Publisher report.
    please suggest

    if you have data in db then you can create xml with needed structure
    and so you can create bip report
    do you have errors or .... ?

  • How to set-up BO Xcelsius Enterprise in a layered SAP BW landscape

    Dear all,
    We are implementing BO Xcelsius Enterprise next to an existing SAP Netweaver BW landscape (including SAP BW 7.0).
    We want to use the direct Xcelsius-SAP BW connection using the BI Consumers Services from EHP 1.
    Currently we're using a 3 system landscape for our SAP BW environment, a development, Test and production server.
    A) Could you specify what the best practice is for implementing Xcelsius Enterprise as tool:
    Option 1: Only 1 Xcelsius server supporting the whole BI landscape
    or
    Option 2: set-up 3 Xcelsius servers, one for BW development,
                                                    one for the test environment
                                                    one for the production environment
    And what are the transport possibilities in the 2nd scenario?
    B) Also we would like to know how the live-data connection is working when a dahboard user is refreshing the data in the dahboard:
    1) is the BW query triggered directly from the Xcelsius Dashboard to the SAP BW server and is the dataflow going directly from the BW server to the Xcelsius Dashboard ?
    or
    2) is the BW query triggered indirectly from the Xcelsius Dashboard to the SAP BW server via the Xcelsius Enterprise Server and is the dataflow going indirectly from the BW server to the Xcelsius Dashboard via the Xcelsius Enterprise Server ?
    Thanks in advantage for you're answers!
    Kind regards,
    Marc Nuijten

    one for the production environment
    And what are the transport possibilities in the 2nd scenario?
    >> In regards to the direct connectivity towards SAP BW there is no need to have a SAP BusinessObjects server environment for Xcelsius. The Xcelsius file is hosted inside the SAP NetWeaver BW system and it is also a transportable object.
    B) Also we would like to know how the live-data connection is working when a dahboard user is refreshing the data in the dahboard:
    1) is the BW query triggered directly from the Xcelsius Dashboard to the SAP BW server and is the dataflow going directly from the BW server to the Xcelsius Dashboard ?
    or
    2) is the BW query triggered indirectly from the Xcelsius Dashboard to the SAP BW server via the Xcelsius Enterprise Server and is the dataflow going indirectly from the BW server to the Xcelsius Dashboard via the Xcelsius Enterprise Server ?
    >>> That depends to a certain degree on the dashboard design. You can call the connections when the Xcelsius dashboard is being executed but you can also decide to trigger the connection.

  • How to change recordset bahaviour to accept dynamic column names in the where clause

    Hi
    im using php-mysql and i make a recordset and i want to make the column names in the where clause to be dynamic like
    "select id,name from mytable where $tablename-$myvar";
    but when i do this my i break the recordset and it disappear
    and when i use variables from advanced recordset it only dynamic for the value of the column not for the column name
    and when i write the column name to dynamic as above by hand it truns a red exclamation mark on the server behaviour panel
    so i think the only way is to change the recordset behaviour is it? if so How to make it accept dynamic column names?
    thanks in advance.

    As bregent has already explained to you, customizing the recordset code will result in Dreamweaver no longer recognizing the server behavior. This isn't a problem, but it does mean that you need to lay out your dynamic text with the Bindings panel before making any changes. Once you have changed the recordset code, the Bindings panel will no longer recognize the recordset fields.
    Using a variable to choose a column name is quite simple, but you need to take some security measures to ensure that the value passed through the query string isn't attempting SQL injection. An effective way of doing this is to create an array of acceptable column names, and check that the value matches.
    // create array of acceptable values
    $valid = array('column_name1', 'column_name2', 'column_name3');
    // if the query string contains an acceptable column name, use it
    if (isset($_GET['colname']) && in_array($_GET['colname'], $valid)) {
      $col = $GET['colname'];
    } else {
      // set a default value if the submitted one was invalid
      $col = 'column_name1'
    You can then use $col directly in the SQL query.

  • Is there a way to add multiple categories columns to my enterprise wiki page

    Hi All,
    I have the following inside my SharePoint 2013;
    Enterprise wiki site collection.
    By default I got one category column for my enterprise wiki site.
    I link the defualt wiki category (of type managed metadata) to a term store.
    I am trying to achieve the following:-
    I need to add additional wiki categories (of type managed metadata) and link them to different term store.
    For example when a user add a new wiki page , he can select the default wiki , in addition to that he can
     a customer , sub-topic, country , etc.
    What I tried is :-
    I went to the wiki library and from there I added a new site column of type managed meta data.
    I link the new column to a second term store, and I did the same for the other wiki categories.
    The problem I am facing:-
    The new wiki categories were not displayed when adding /editing/viewing the wiki pages?
    Can anyone advice how I can add the new wiki categories , so that users can fill them when add/editing a wiki page , also how to show them under the defualt wiki category when reading any wiki page?
    Thanks

    Please follow basic Netiquette and post the DDL we need to answer this. Follow industry and ANSI/ISO standards in your data. You should follow ISO-11179 rules for naming data elements. You should follow ISO-8601 rules for displaying temporal data. We need
    to know the data types, keys and constraints on the table. Avoid dialect in favor of ANSI/ISO Standard SQL. And you need to read and download the PDF for:

    This is so very, very wrong! A column is an attribute of an entity. The idea that you are so screwed up that you have no idea if you want
    the shoe size, the phone number or something else at run time of this entity. 
    In Software Engineering we have a principle called cohesion that says a model should do one and only one task, have one and only one entry point, and one and only one exit point. 
    Hey, on a scale from 1 to 10, what color is your favorite letter of the alphabet? Yes, your mindset is that level of sillyity and absurdity. 
    Do you know that SQL is a declarative language? This family of languages does not use local variables! 
    Now think about “month_val” and what it means. A month is a temporal unit of measurement, so this is as silly as saying “liter_val” in your code. Why did you use “sp_” on a procedure? It has special meaning in T-SQL.  
    Think about how silly this is: 
     SET @month_val = 'Month' + CAST(@month_nbr AS VARCHAR(2));
    We do not do display formatting in a query. This is a violation of at the tiered architecture principle. We have a presentation layer. But more than that, the INTERVAL temporal data type is a {year-month} and never just a month. This is fundamental. 
    We need to see the DDL so we can re-write this mess. Want to fix it or not?

  • How to get the dynamic columns in UWL portal

    Hi All,
    I am working on UWL Portal. I am new to UWL. I have down loaded uwl.standard XML file and costomized for getting the  values for "select a Subview" dropdown and I am able to see the values in the dropdown. Now my requirement is to get the dynamic columns based on the selection from dropdown value.
    can any body suggest on how to get the dynamic columns in UWL portal.

    Hi  Manorama,
    1) If you have already created a portal system as mentioned in following blog

    2) If not, then try to create the same. Do not forgot to give the Alias name .
    3) After creating a system, log on to the VC, Create one iView.
    4) Now Click on "Find Data" button from the list which you can view in right side to Visual composer screen.
    5) After clicking on "Find Data" button, it will ask for System. If you have created your system correctly and Alias name is given properly, then your mentioned Alias name is appeared in that list.
    6) Select your system Alias name and perform search.
    7) It will display all the BAPIs and RFCs in your systems.
    8) Select required BAPI and develop the VC application.
    Please let me know if you any further problems.

  • Dynamic Column in PDF

    Hello All,
    I have a requirement to generate dynamic column in the PDF.
    I have got the same running using the below code
    HEADER : <?split-column-header:XXX_TIME?><?split-column-width:@width?><?XXX_TIME_FROM?>
    DATA : <?split-column-data:XXX_START?><?EMP_NO?>
    The issue I am having is if i generate the output in pdf with small amount of data,it will work but I am not sure how much data can come at run time.
    It can be sometime more than 50 or more columns also.In that case it truncates the data.
    How can i do the same.
    Pls help.
    Thanks

    Increase the page size and printable page size, and reduce the column lengths,
    so that you can accomadate them in single row.
    BIP will run in single row, but we have option of making it to next row too.
    But even if you make it in single row, page size has to support the length of the single row you are making :)..
    so you got to increase the page width to Max

  • DataGrid with dynamic columns & renderers

    I'm developing using Flash Builder 4 & Flex SDK 4.1.
    I need to manage very dynamic DataGrid components and keep their definitions, which are all part of a complex item renderer of an Offers list.
    The objects structure is simplified as follows -
    Data: Model --> Offers ArrayCollection --> Offer VO --> DataGrid data ArrayCollection & DataGrid columns Array
    View: List --> Offer Item Renderer --> DataGrid
    1. Since the DataGrid's columns property accepts only an Array (not ArrayCollection), it seems like Data Binding for defining the columns is very problematic.
    I tried to bind it to the source property of an ArrayCollection that would keep my columns definitions, but it didn't really work (mainly header display bugs).
    What is the recommended way to keep the dynamic columns definition of a DataGrid?
    2. Each column can have a set of dynamic properties, so I created a "mutant" - Column VO that extends DataGridColumn and got a dynamic properties ArrayCollection on it.
    The columns got a custom header renderer that includes an icon when there are properties.
    The header renderers got 4 main states (NotSelectedWithProperties, SelectedWithProperties, NotSelectedWithoutProperties & SelectedWithoutProperties).
    However, the header renderer area seems a bit buggy when maintaning dynamic columns.
    Any thoughts on the subject?
    3. Anyway, I ended up recreating the DataGrid's columns Array very often (copying the columns definition on the offer's item renderer's dataChange event handler).
    Note that the dynamic properties can be edited when the column is selected and I copy their values from the view back to the model when entering the state NotSelectedWithProperties.
    This feels way too complicated and I really try to keep it simple, inspite of the required complexity.
    Does anyone have better ideas?
    4. In some cases the column's item renderer should also be modified into another DataGrid (grid-in-grid).
    I used the MXDataGridItemRenderer with a DataGrid and included an ArrayCollection for the "newValue" returned by the editor.
    (I use RendererIsEditor=true and on updateComplete populate that variable with the DataGrid's dataProvider contents)
    When needed, I loop though the data objects of the parent DataGrid and populate the related field with an ArrayCollection of key-value objects that are displayed on the internal DataGrid.
    After adding this feature I encounter very strange bugs -
    a. After editing the grid-in-grid values and changing the column's state (selecting & deselecting), I get the following exception:
    ArgumentError. Error #2025: The supplied DisplayObject must be a child of the caller.
    at flash.display::DisplayObjectContainer/setChildIndex()
    at mx.core::UIComponent/setChildIndex().......6993....
    All I could find about this is that it might be related to some context error or something, but I'm really stuck on this one.
    b. Sometimes another column might copy value from one row to another, running over the previous value.
    I'm not sure exactly what sequence of actions causes this behavior, but it's related to that itemRenderer for sure.
    c. Switching places with a column that uses the grid item renderer (headerShift) causes a stak overflow of StyleManager that tried to get style from the DataGridItemRenderer. This one I just found out, but couldn't reproduce a second time... strange!
    I'm pretty sure this caused another problem that I don't remember at the moment.
    The bottom line is that there got to be a better way to implement this feature within this already-complicated environment.
    Maybe I'm doing something very wrong here...
    Please advice and thanks for reading all this.

    Update on item 4a -
    This was a major issue (the main reason for opening this thread really) and I managed to resolve it!
    As part of my application, I override the default DataGrid behavior for column selection (headerRelease event).
    Instead of sorting, I change the column's header looks and define it as Selected (for showing its dynamic properties and enable its deletion).
    At first I did this by setting styles, but the look didn't refresh unless I created a new instance of the header renderer.
    Later I changed thi behavior to work with states, but I left the new header renderer instance creation commands and those lines created all the mess!
    Conclusion -
    If you define a custom header renderer for your datagrid column and then a custom item renderer, don't create a new instance of your header renderer!
    It would still be nice to get some response for the other issues I raised.
    Thanks and have a nice week.

  • Importing From Flat File with Dynamic Columns

    HI
    I am using ssis 2008,i have folder in which I have Four(4) “.txt” files each file will have 2 columns(ID, NAME). I loaded 4
    files in one destination, but today I receive one more “.txt” file here we have 3 columns (ID, NAME, JOB) how can I get a message new column will receive in source. And how can I create in extra column in my destination table dynamically …please help me

    Hi Sasidhar,
    You need a Script Task to read the names and number of columns in the first row of the flat file each time and store it in a variable, then create a staging table dynamically based on this variable and modify the destination table definition if one ore more
    new columns need to be added, and then use the staging table to load the destination table. I am afraid there is no available working script for your scenario, and you need some .NET coding experience to achieve your goal. Here is an example you can refer
    to:

  • Problem with dynamic column in SBWP

    Hi Friends,
    In SWL1 I have created two attributes with header as "CANCELLED" and " DESCRIPTION" for a particular task.But my SBWP is still showing columns as "Dynamic column" for the workitems of that task.
    Please help me on this.
    Thanks.
    Dilip

    Hi Dilip,
    The column headings will only appear in the task-specific view. In other words, by default the headers will be generic because you can have mixed tasks in the worklist, and column 1 can be a date for one task and a company name for another.
    The user needs to expand the tree on the left hand side and navigate to the "Approve Purchase Order" (or whatever) node to show only items of that task, then column headers should show up.
    Regards,
    Mike
