Dynamic Data columns

Hi...
Here's my scenario. My layout is keyfigures in lead columns.
I want Calendar Year in the Header. I want the Calendar Year/Month (0CALMONTH) in data columns.
But, the data columns should be dynamically set to the 12 months of the Year I choose as part of the header combination. Example, I choose 2008 as header:
Layout should alow me to enter sales for all months of 2008. So, data columns should become:
Jan 2008 Feb 2008 Mar2008 Apr2008 .....
Sales
I'm open to ideas for other types of layouts also as long as the the months (0CALMONTH) are derived based on Calendar Year.
Thanks...

KJ, thanks for your response.
Dont mean to question your suggestion at all. But is that only way?
I mean to me deriving a calendar year month seems to be a normal practice.
But if thats the only way, could you please provide more insight and possibly an algorithm for the exit? never worked exits before in the cotext of BPS.
Thanks...

XML Publisher - Dynamic Data Columns Issue

Hi,
I am creating a amortization report where I need to show the amortization schedule for unearned revenue. Customers have signed different years of contract and I need to show the amount as per their remaining contract months. So if there are 2 month remaining in the contract then I should show the data for 2 months only and if there are 10 months then I should display 10 months. If we run the report for both customers then it should display two lines in report. For first customer the data should be only for 2 months and for second row(customer) there should be data for next 10 months. These months should be columns in the report(like excel columns, not rows). I need to display all months in columns instead of rows.
I have acheived that using Dynamic Data Columns as mentioned in the user guide. Everything is working fine except following issues -
1. How to create page level total?_
I have created page total in my template using <?add-page-total:TOTUREV;'UREV'?> and displaying using <?show-page-total:TOTUREV?> but when I run the report in excel format these page total do not display. These columns are static columns not dynamic.
If I run the report in pdf format then the static column total is displayed correctly.
2. When I run the report in excel format then report run fine and it shows all the columns properly but if I run the report in pdf format then the dynamic column are not displayed in their own columns, all the columns are overwriting each other in a single columns itself, its not expanding.
3. How do I get the total for the dynamic columns?_
I need to display the page level total for the dynamic columns also, how do I do that?
4. When I run the report in excel format the 2 decimal places of the numbers are gone(it works fine in pdf output), like 12.50 becomes 12.5 and 14.00 becomes 14. I need to maintain those 2 decimal places. I have tried using <fo:bidi-override direction="ltr" unicode-bidi="bidi-override"><?format-number:CVALUE;'999999D99'?></fo:bidi-override> but this does not solve my problem completely. It shows the values correctly in excel but then I am not able to do any calculation on those columns, looks like it converts them to text values.
Any help is really appreicated. Please let me know if you need the xml template and data file.

Hitesh

Hi Hitesh,
Can you please upload your RTF and XML template file? I will try to spend sometime on this issue.

SUB Totals within a Dynamic Data Column

Has anyone ever calculated SUB Totals in a Layout with a Dynamic Data Column?
The TOTAL for all data is expressed on the Data Column tab of the Layout as C(1):C(1) - 0FISCPER / Posting Period is the Dynamic Characteristic. When the system actually displays the 12 columns of data for the Year, the formula for TOTAL is also adjusted - no problem here. But the user also wants SUB Totals, by Quarter, within the Year.
Any insight or suggections are appreciated !
Thanks,
Lyle

Hello,
use variables Q1, ..., Q4 for the quarters and create
data colums as follows
1 Q1 dynamic = X
2 Total C(1)
3 Q2 dynamic = X
4 Total C(3)
5 Q3 dynamic = X
6 Total C(5)
7 Q4 dynamic = X
8 Total C(7)
9 Year Total C(2)C(4)C(6)+C(8)

Grouping of chracateristics by using dynamic data columns

Hi all,
I want to create a BPS Layout (BW3.5) with the material in the lead column and a KeyFigures, the year and the salesgroup in the data column. The salesgroup is the dynamic characteristic.
Example:
I want to have:
SG1 2007/ SG1 2008/ SG2 2007/ SG2 2008...
What the system is doing is:
SG1 2007/ SG2 2007/ SG1 2008/ SG2 2008
My question is: how can I change the grouping of the columns from year to salesorg?
Can anybody help me?
Best regards,
Rainer

Hi Rainer,
Thanks for your appreciation.
I thought there is not material in your lead column, okay if your case like that i suggest you like this.
I suggest to .
To choose Layout Category:
1. Key Figures in Data Column
Define data column dynamically for : Sales Group
And make the fiscal year, and material as lead column.
In the data column tab, define the key-figures there and mark Dynamic checkbox.
Or if you want to group based on the fiscal year, you can make the fiscal year as you dynamic data column.
Hopefully it can help you a lot.
Best regards,
Niel.
thanks for the points you choose to assign.

Header description of dynamic data columns dynamically

Hi all,
How is it possible to get Header description of dynamic data columns dynamically??
Thanks and regards,
Harry

Harry,
Don't have the system right now so going by memory.
There are 2 parts - you need to see how you specified the text replacement of the variable. Say on 0fiscper if you specify characteristic value it would show I think 001.2007, 002.2007, etc. If you use one of the text types, it would be based on the description.
I always have to think if I need to put the infoobject name or the variable name in the layout definition in the description part. Off the top of my mind, it would be the infoobject name i.e. 0fiscper for example

Dynamic data column; pdf vs excel output

I have created a amortization report using BIP dynamic data columns. When I run the report in excel format then report run fine and it shows all the columns properly but if I run the report in pdf format then the dynamic columns are not displayed in their own columns, all the columns are overwriting each other in a single columns itself, its not expanding.
Any idea what could be wrong here. Why does it work fine in excel and not in pdf output.
Please let me know if you would like to see the rtf template and xml data file.

Can you send me the sample xml and RTF ?

Dynamic Data Column

Hello!
I've a requirement such that based on data, dynamic columns should be created. I'm able to do this but looping in the rows is not working..
I've done a similar requirement before when all the data are in the same hierarchy but now, data are in different hierarchy.
This is my XML
<IND1>
<IND2>
<LABEL>Hello</LABEL>
<IND3>
<WT>30</WT>
<PRICE>45</WT>
</IND3>
<IND3>
<WT>20</WT>
<PRICE>35</WT>
</IND3>
</IND2>
<IND2>
<LABEL>World</LABEL>
<IND3>
<WT>15</WT>
<PRICE>45</WT>
</IND3>
<IND3>
<WT>25</WT>
<PRICE>36</WT>
</IND3>
</IND2>
</IND1>
There are 2 Labels.. So, 2 tables shd be created with heading as 'Hello' and 'World' dynamically. Below, 'Hello' label, there must be 2 columns 'WT' and 'Price' Headers. Respective data shd be displayed.
I'm able to create 2 headers and below that, WT and Price.. In my data, only the first record of WT and Price is displayed and 2 set of data is not getting displayed. I tried to loop but it's not working.
Let me know if you want more details. I will send out the rtf which I'm doing..
Thanks!
Ganesh.

I've sent a mail to you. Thanks!

Rdl file Tablix sorting. dynamical data columns.

Hi ,
we are having Tablix with 5 columns of data. in that first 3 column data is a static and remaining two columns data will be calculated and populated dynamically on the 4,5 column. it is working fine but when i sort the any of the first 3 columns it is showing
the wrong data in the 4,5 th columns.
can any one help how to over come this.
Advance thanks.
Vijay

Hi Vijay,
If I understand correctly, the values in the fourth and fifth column change dynamically based on the static values in the first three columns in your report. And then you set the sort expression for the data region or for each group, including the details group
in a tablix data region.
I tested the issue in my test environment in the basis of my understanding. I have set the expression in the fourth and fifth column and set the sorting of tablix based on the fifth static column. When running the report, there is no issue.
To resolve your matter, please post the report design and the expression in sorting option’s screenshot to the forum.

Dynamic Lead Columns / Data Columns

Hi
I want to use dyanmic data columns restricted by a characteristic relationship of another variable.
When I use the characteristic as a lead column, it works perfect, I only see the rows for valid lines.
When I use the characteristic as a data column, I see all possible characteristic values of that characteristics. The ones that are not valid are not ready for input, the ones that are valid are ready for input.
I would like to use dynamic data columns but only display the columns with a valid characteristic relationships (just the way it works when I put the characteristic in the lead column)
Should that work?
Thanks

Enable Zero-Suppression on your column structure. Then in your Query properties, enable zero-suppresion for columns. That way only characteristic values with data will be shown and not all possible characteristic values present in the master data tables. I should note that there should be some data in the fact table which links the keyfigure to the characteristic value, otherwise it will be suppressed.

A data table in one column of a dynamic data table

Hi , I have to design a dynamic data table(with dynamic columns and data) which looks as the following
DETAILS      NAME      ROLE NUMBER     CLASS     SECTION
15     MATHS     SURESH     15     10     A
20     SCIENCE
25     ENGLISH
15     MATHS     SURESH     15     10     A
20     SCIENCE
25     ENGLISH
The data in the column 'DETAILS' should have inner table. The data in this inner table should have hyper links. If there is no inner table infor mation there shold be an image with hyperlink. This data table should also have pagination and sorting features. Please send me some example code for this. Please help me out as i have client demo on monday

You may find this example useful: [http://balusc.blogspot.com/2006/06/using-datatables.html#NestingDatatables].
To toggle between a nested datatable and a hyperlink with image just use the rendered attribute. E.g.
    <h:column>
        <h:dataTable rendered="#{!empty dataItem.innerList}">
        </h:dataTable>
        <h:commandLink rendered="#{empty dataItem.innerList}">
        </h:commandLink>
    </h:column>

What is the best way to dynamically create table partition by year and month based on a date column?

Hi,
I have a huge table and it will keep growing. I have a date column in this table and thought of partition the table by year and month. Can any you suggest better approach so that partition will create automatically for new data also along with the existing
data? Nothing but automatically/dynamically partition should create along with file group and partition files.
Thanks in advance!

IP: Dynamic Data and Lead Columns

Hello,
In IP, there is not such thing as "Dynamic Data and Lead Columns" which we have used successfully in BPS. We have quite normal case where accounts are on rows and columns are defined as follows:
Column 1): KF Qty1, Period #, Year "Var Current year (single value)"
Columns 2-n): KF Amt1, Period "Var periods current year (multiple values)", Year "Var Current year"
Column n+1): Sum columns 2-n
Number of periods in variable "Var periods current year" is not fixed and maintained by superuser, so number of columns is somewhere between 3 and 14 (at least one open period, maximum 12, plus the Qty1 and Sum columns).
How would you fix this in IP?
Thanks for answers!
Aki

Hello Aki,
you could put the period into the columns as char.
if you make a selection to value # and the variable you will se as many columns as periods are selected in the variable plus the one column for #.

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,
Anjana Dasu

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.

Can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ?

Hello!
I have a report where one of its parameters refers to a list of values (LOVs). This list of values is an SQL Query type. When the data source used in the report is defined in the BI Publisher server, I'm able to get the report parameters using the getReportParameters() function in my application. However, if the data source is not defined the function throws an exception, which is understandable.
I decided to dynamically set the data source so that even if the data source used by the report is not defined in the BI Publisher server, it still will be able to get the LOVs for the parameter. I tried setting the JDBCDataSource of the dynamicDataSource for the ReportRequest object that I passed to the getReportParameters() function. Please see the sample code below:
reportRequest.dynamicDataSource = new BIP10.BIPDataSource();
reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource = new BIP10.JDBCDataSource();
setReportDataSource(reportRequest.dynamicDataSource.JDBCDataSource, connectstr, jdbc, dc); //function to set the values for JDBCDataSource object
reportParams = webrs.getReportParameters(reportRequest, uid, pwd); //call the getReportParameters
I was expecting this to work as this is what I did to dynamically set the data source before calling the runReport function. So, my question is -- can we set the dynamic data source when using getReportParameters() ? I tried this both in versions 10g and 11g. It does not seem to work on both versions.

Stephanie

report_id column of apex_application_page_ir_rpt can help us uniquely identify each saved report.
We can assign this report_id value to a page item and this page item can be put in the Report ID Item text box of the Advanced section of the Report Attributes page of the IR.
This should load the saved report identified by report_id and you can get rid of javascript

Tricky dynamic date variant in ABAP query

Hello All,
In an abap query there is a date field in the selection screen with from & to values.
I am trying to create a dynamic variant that will fill the following data into those fields:
From date: will be left blank
To date: will show today's date - 90 days
For example, if today's date is 01/12/2006 the variant should fill the following data into the fields:
From date: <blank>
To date: 01/09/2006
I have tried all the methods I know with dynamic dates calculation in the variant definition but did not manage to create such variant.
Any help will be very appreciated and points would be rewarded generously !
Thank you very much,
Ronen

If the "from" date is meant to be left blank (beginning of time) and the "to" date is some date plus or minus number of days from today, you use the "current +/- days" dynamic date calculation format as was mentioned earlier. Likewise if the "from" date is some date plus or minus today's date, and the "to" date is infinity -- you only need the one Dynamic Date calculation.
To do this, first don't think about this as a date range, think of your Dynamic Date calculation as if this were a single parameter and not a select-option. You are really saying "my date is anything LT/LE this date" or "my date is anything GT/GE this date" -- not a range
In the Save Variant screen, find the desired date select-option and:
1. Choose in column "Selection Variable", a "D" (Dynamic date calculation)
2. Use F4 in the "Name of Variable" column
3. Find "Current date +/- ??? days" or "Current date +/- ??? work days" in the popup, as appropriate
4. For "I/E" (include/exclude) column select as appropriate
5. For "Option" column, choose "LE", "LT", "GE", "GT", "NE" as appropriate
6. After clicking green check mark, enter your plus or minus days (and factory calendar if using work days).
7. Finish saving your variant.
8. You may not see your changes in your variant until you back all the way out of the variant and then redisplay it. You'll see a greyed out date along with the symbol matching your choice (LT, LE, etc.)
Unfortunately if you don't have infinity on either end of the date you are limited to 999 days differences as far as I am aware. If that is the case you can populate TVARVC table with parameter or selection variables, maintain them with STVARV transaction by hand, or use an ABAP program in batch to regularly calculate the values. Then you can reference the TVARVC values in your variant instead of the Dynamic Date calculation.
If someone knows a way to bypass the use of TVARVC for date ranges that are more than 999 days apart please let me know. TVARVC works well but it is extra effort whereas Dynamic Date calculation would be much easier to maintain if the date range could be made larger than 999 days.
