Excel export of crosstab report in Discoverer desktop 9i not proper

Dear All,
I have made a crosstab report where I am taking the totals of the fig at all the datapoints. For this total, I have put the "Label" as &Value. When I run the report, it shows the correct output and correct values for the label field. But when I am exporting the report in excel, the label does not refresh for all the items properly. Instead it shows the Label for the very first set of data across all the itesm.
Can somebody pls tell me the reason behind this?
Regards
Minakshi

I am experiencing the same issue. has anyone got a solution to this issue? i dont really want to truncate the string if possible

Discoverer report accessible through Desktop but not through Viewer

Does anyone have a hint for me about this problem: we can use a Discoverer report via Discoverer Desktop, but when we try to access the same report through Discoverer Viewer, we get an error message: the page cannot be found.

It sounds like discoverer viewer may not be correctly configured or the permissions on the database account may not be correct. Can you run any reports through Discoverer viewer as any other user? What version of Discoverer are you running?

Error when running a report in Discoverer Desktop

All -
I run a report in discoverer desktop and got the following warning message: This sheet currently contains no data.
I generated the query by using the sql inspector tool and run the query in the database and, to my surprise, it showed the correct records.
I don't know what is causing this error.
I checked all items (in discoverer administrator) that are used in by report and everything seems to be ok.
Any idea?
Thanks,
Daniel.

Hi,
There could be many reasons for this, what is in the query you are running?. It could be a bug in your version, what version are you using? Does it happen with one workbook or all workbooks? It could be an NLS Language problem, check that the calculation USERENV('LANG') returns the language you are expecting in Discoverer desktop. It could be a problem with the context for your session, are you using an apps mode or database mode EUL?

How to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports

Hello,
I am new in Crystal Reports and I wonder if it is possible to enhance the Excel export from Crystal Reports with post-processing that would be applied to the Excel exported file.
By example, is it possible to freeze the window panes, so rows and columns are frozen in place on the screen?
Is there any possibility to obtain the file exported to excel to work with.
Or maybe there is some ways to parametrize the Excel export from Crystal Reports?
Any suggestions are welcomed.

If you are using Crystal Reports 2008 you can use the Report Application SDK that is now available.
It has a object called PrintOutputController that has an export method that allows you to get access to the exported file before you send it to the user.
Check the Developer library and the samples for details.

USER UNABLE TO REFRESH DISCOVERER REPORT IN DISCOVERER DESKTOP 10g

Dear All,
HELP!!!
A new user is unable to refresh discoverer Reports in Desktop. All priviledges have been granted to username in Disco Admin and Usre is able to log into oracle Apps.
On the PC the user logged into someone else can log into Discoverer Desktop and run/refresh discoverer reports without any issues. Hence Ithink neither the PC nor the Discoverer installation is the problem.
Can anyone help? What setup/profile needs to be completed in order for the user to be able to run Disco reports.
Pls note that the following has been completed:
1. Business Areas Assigned to user and his responsibilities.
2. Desktop/Plus Privileges assigned.
3. Allow administration - DISABLED - NOT TICKED
Many thx

Does this person just need to run reports? Or does this person also need to create reports? If the person just needs to run reports, try using Viewer for that person, rather than Desktop. This may be something that you need to log a service request with Oracle to get resolved. Pretty strange that can bring items into a new worksheet, but it won't run. Maybe there is an Oracle applications security issue (since logging in as another person does work)? You may be beating your brains out trying to find a Discoverer problem when it might be an application security problem. Though this is a wild guess on my part.

SSRS 2012 excel export is still coming out as an xls not xlsx

Hello, All
I am pretty new to SSRS 2012 and trying to migrate existing SSRS 2005 reports to SSRS 2012 to resolve the limited record export function with classic excel format.
The server is using .Net Framework 2 application pool as below and it's not showing any page with .Net Framework 4.
I have migrated RDL files using SQL Data Tools and updated web.config and aspx pages too.

The target RDL file looks working fine with .xlsx file export in the SQL Data Tools(Report Designer) but it's not exporting xlsx file and trying to export classic xls and failed to generate more than 65536 records.
Can anyone help me with this issue?
Did I miss anything in the settings or something?
Your help would be much appreciated.

Hello,
If I understand correctly, Excel render format is working fine when you export RDL file, but cannot work for RDLC file.
RDL files are created by the SQL Server 2012 version of Report Designer. RDLC files are created by the Visual Studio 2010 version of Report Designer. RSReportServer.config file is control RDL file rather than RDLC file. Based on my test, in Visual Studio
2010, when we export RDLC file, Excel render format is .xls. You can try to use Visual Studio 2012 to test, if it can export .xlsx file.
In order to solve the excel limitation issue, please refer to the document below:

Excel Export of a Report containing Subreports expands first subreport, but not subsequent ones

I have a report built in SSRS 2008 that contains a subreport that is made visible by toggling an item on the row of the parent report that contains the subreport.
When I export the report to Excel it works great except that the first subreport is always expanded in Excel and the ability to toggle it is not given in Excel. All subreports are not visible (toggled as not shown) when exporting, yet the first subreport is always shown in Excel as an expanded value with no ability to toggle in Excel. All the other subreports are exported correctly as not visible with a plus sign next to the parent row to expand it.
Any ideas what might cause this?

I've have the same issue but haven't found a solution yet. Do you remember if you ever solved your problem?

Controlling location of Window Split Pane in Excel export of SSRS report to include column headings in frozen/split pane at top

With a SSRS 2008R2 report consisting of a page header and a tablix in the body with columnar information, how can you control which rows are in the Frozen Pane at the top of the workbook when exporting the report to Excel. Currently the top
pane is just the Page Header. I want to include the column headings from the tablix as well.

Hi G,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the issue in my local environment. The report only display page header as the fixed data when export it to Excel. Even the tablix header with fixed date repeats on every page when we render the report in Report Designer,
but it cannot display as fixed data in Excel. This is by design.
To work around this issue, we can add the same content in page header, then adjust the space between page header and report body to make them like a whole tablix.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Excel export in crystal report

Post Author: aravinthkula
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
          I have a requirement to open a new window from one of the reportviewer report columns, I know we have to use Navigation->Hyperlink Action->Jump To Url->="BLOCKED SCRIPTvoid(window.open('http://samplewebsite.com', '_blank'));"
        And then I try to export to excel, From excel I am trying to open the link, I am getting the message "This location may be unsafe" or "hyperlinks can be harmful to your computer and data. To protect your computer, click only those hyperlinks from trusted sources."
       Is there another way to open a link in new window which is compatible from Reportviewer and from Excel as well.

Try adding c:\Program Files\Business Objects\BusinessObjects Enterprise 12.0\win32_x86 to your windows enviroment variable PATH then restart.

Discoverer report - Output from Discoverer plus is not the same as Discoverer desktop

As a part of Upgrade project we are migrating the discoverer reports from 11i (11.5.10.2) to R12 (12.1.3) .After migrating to R12, for a custom discoverer report the output given by discoverer desktop is correct (24 rows for a scenario). But the report output from Discoverer plus does not show the credit transactions (2 rows). The output from Discoverer plus shows only 22 rows (24 - 2), which is incorrect. The query is the same in Discoverer desktop and Discoverer plus.
Please let me know why these transactions that are appearing when the report is run from discoverer desktop are not appearing in discoverer plus. Is there any setup in discoverer plus for this?
Regards,
Brajesh

Pretty hard to answer a question like this. Best bet would be to copy the existing discoverer plus book and start removing conditions, fields, etc until those two rows from desktop show up and see if you can work it out.

Data missing in Crosstab report with calculated field via case when

I use the Oracle 10g discoverer. When I create a crosstab report with a calculate field via function case when and put it as datapoint, some of the data is not showing. I tried to not use the case when function for the calculate field, then all the data show.
I really do not the reason. Could anybody help me out with many thanks?

Let me explain more.
I have the original data below.
Work order, Team, Hours_worked, date
800001, S1, 5, 2012/01/01
800001, S1, 15, 2012/01/10
800001, S2, 4, 2012/01/04
800002, S1, 3, 2012/01/15
There are multipul records for the same work order, team on the same day or different.
Finally I want to set the start date and end date as the parameter to create a crosstab report format like
start date>=2012/01/01 and close date<=2012/01/05
Team
Total hours total hours within the range
Work order S1 S2 ... S1 S2 ...
800001 20 4 5 4
800002 3 0 0 0
in order to do it, I create two parameters independently start date and close date. Then I create a calculate field hours_worked_withinrange via
Case when date>=:start date and date<=:end date then Hours_worked else 0 end
This calculated field is correct in the tabular format report in discoverer desktop. But when I duplicate the list as crosstab. Some data is missing in crosstab data point.
I checked once I change the calculate field defination not use case when. (For example, C1=hours_worked*2). Then everything runs correct.

Row level security in discoverer desktop

currently, I have designed a business area on one of my star schema, and I created several other business area in order to allow different level of users to view the pre-defined reports on discoverer desktop. and I want different users to view different data from my star schema tables. So I created some criteria on those business area.
e.g. condition on bus_area1 : sales_manager="man01",
condition on bus_area2 : sales_manager="man02"
in short, i want to enable record level security by using discoverer's conditions.
but unfortunately, even I un-checked "Create/Edit Query" privileges on discoverer administrator for those users, they still can modify the worksheet. So they can just remove my condition and to view data that they shouldnot be able to see..
can any one tell me how to solve this problem, or how to do row level security in discoverer?
What can I do if I want to disable "edit worksheet" in discoverer desktop from users??
thanks in advance..
Marco

Marco,
Probably the best way to achieve row-level security is to upgrade to 9.0.4.1 and take advantage of the new functionality of Discoverer to pass the SSO user to the DB query. You would apply Oracle Fine Grained Security/VPD/striping on the DB tables using a policy based on SSO userid. Then using Disco 9.0.4.1 the user would see only the data they are privileged to see. However this works only in a web environment (Discoverer Plus, Viewer and Portlets) not for Desktop.

Regarding Issue when Exporting the Output of the Discoverer Report to Excel

Hi,
Can Any of you guys help me out in this issue. I am exporting the Discoverer Report Output to Excel sheet, I am able to export but while I am opening the excel sheet I am getting an error saying "UNABLE TO READ FILE".
Please help me out in this Issue, it is so urgent.
Thanks in Advance..
Raja.

Hi,
Is there any way to export the output of scheduled Discoverer Reports to a particular server using Discoverer plus.Only by openning and exporting each report manually.
is there any way to get the output name in a particular syntax. I want to concatenate date in the output name.Only by entering the filename when you do the export.
The best way to do this is to use Discoverer Desktop and a third party scheduler. Then you can export all your reports automatically and define the filename used in the output. Search this forum for more information on third party schedulers.

Average no value in crosstab report (Discoverer Desktop)

Hello experts,
I have a crosstab report, and i want to use avg to a calculation field, but in crosstab i have no values and when i make drill down i have values under my group.
how can i solve this?
Edited by: user13062021 on 18-Feb-2011 07:44

I make this change to my values "nvl(<item>,0) but nothing happened. In discoverer plus the values are correct but in discoverer desktop the values are null.
Instead of this in analytical sheet i do not have null values to this column.
For your information,
in analytical sheet i have a calculation field with round and nvl functions, and i calaculate this field from the analytical sheet to crosstab sheet with an AVG() function, and cannot claculate.
When I first make this sheet the values in discoverer desktop are all correct, but on the other day when I make refresh to my sheet the values are null.
