Formatting in Answers

Hi,
How would I format a numeric value to display blank if it's 0 and conversely, how would I display 0 if the value is null.
Thanks,
rkingmdu

Hi...
To display Blank (NULL) as 0, you have function... *ifnull( column ,0)*
And for another...
Try this...
*CASE WHEN column = 0 THEN NULL ELSE column END*
These should be written in fx of particular column where you wanted to show these..
Hope it works...
Thanks & Regards

  • Customizing Pivot Table format in answers

    Hi,
    I have some questions about formats of a Pivot Table.
    1) I want to change the position of row headings in Pivot Table view, show them on the right side of the table. Is there any way to do that? The reason is to show "results" column (sum on the columns in results tab) only for one part of the table, like | data | results | data |, combining two reports with the same rows edge to edge. Maybe it's a bad idea, but I don't know better way...
    2) In the report we make links on values in the table grid to another report (detailed). But while exporting to Excel they became not numbers (and not summable), because it adds a space after a number. Overriding the default format by "number format" is not helpful. Can I control format while exporting?

    I'd make sure the default compound view has only the objects you want to show (ie pivot, title), Remove the table and your all set. That should do it.

  • How can I create a report with a specified format in Answers

    Hello Everyone!
    I want to create a request in Answers gives me a report format like this:
    http://i25.tinypic.com/t6p0ee.jpg
    How can I achieve this?
    Please help!
    -D

    Thanks for quick replies. I think I was not able to give a lot of details.
    So, I am selecting a country, region, branch (branches can be multiple)
    The report is grouped by Branch (I get details of each individual projects within each of the branch, the total sales of individual projects and then total sales of the branch)
    The report then further gives me sum of sales of the branches that selected in my query.
    In the end I want the report to look similar to the pic I posted.
    Thanks!

  • Currency formating in Answers

    Hi
    When I try to do formatting of the amount column in Answers , I found that we can define the number as 'Currency' and can select the 'Currency symbol'. However this is static defnation. My requirment is the currency symbol need to be defined at row level. For example I have orders with order amount and currency. based on the order currency, i want to format the order amount. How to do this formating dynamically.
    Thanks
    raj

    Not the most elegant answer, but based on the following assumptions, it can be done:
    1) You have a reasonable amount of foreign currency possibility.
    2) You have a column (such as "Country") that would indicate the currency type.
    Okay, create a dummy column. Use CASE statements such as the following:
    CASE WHEN Country."Country Name"='Japan' THEN '¥' || CAST("- Sales Facts"."Amount" AS CHAR) ELSE... (insert next country and symbol, etc.) END
    You'll need to do a case statement for each currency, but it'll work.

  • Date format in Answers

    Hi,
    I created a report in Answers. The date field is pulling a value as "1/24/1993 12:00:00 AM". I want the date to be displayed as '1/24/1993' or '24-JAN-93' i.e without the timestamp. When I go to the column properties I dont see any date format without the timestamp. How can I acheive this? Thanks.

    Thanks Saichand. I did try with the custom date format before. But after I make the changes and try to save the report I get a message saying "You do not have sufficient privileges to save a report or dashboard page that contains HTML Markup. Custom column format may contain HTML tags, only the following formats may currently be used 'Plain text"..". Please advice. Thanks.

  • Web service in LV2013: Change answer for "Bad Request", "Access Error"...

    Hi there,
    I am building a large application in LabVIEW 2013. I use a Web Service Server in LabVIEW to communicate to other systems. All in all the new Web Service functions in LV2013 work pretty fine and Web Services are easy to implement. In case any Web Service is unknown or parameters (in the URL) are wrong, it returnsto the client a default error message (like: "Access Error: 404 -- Not Found" or "Access Error: 400 -- Bad Request"). Is there a possibility to change this default messages and its format (all answers in my application are in JSON, but errors appear in HTML)? I really need this feature.
    I spent a lot of time in the internet for finding an answer - but it seems that I am the first who need this feature. Thank you very much for any ideas.

    Hi Andy,
    I found a workaround: I added some additional resources using a link "http://localhost:8079/"NAME"/:x/:x/:x/:x/:x/:x/:x​/:x/:x/:x/:x/:x/:x/:x/:x/:x" for each type (PUT, GET, POST, DELETE) where I handle the error message with the "Set HTTP Response Code VI"

  • Formatting system date in list format

    Dear all,
    in building a list format I need to format the system date, coming from the '@{currentDateODBC}{}' function.
    It comes as YYYY-MM-DD, while I need DD/MM/YYYY.
    Anybody knows how to do it?
    thank you in advance
    Arnaldo

    Dear wildmight,
    thank you for your answer.
    Actually I need it in a list format, neither Answers nor rpd.
    Moreover the procedure you indicate works well for date data coming from DB columns (metadata), but not for system data that seem somehow "locked" in the format.
    cheers

  • How to Convert OVM machines to VM Esx (.ova, .ovf) Format

    Hi,
    Could you pls help me on following issues?
    1. How to Convert OVM machines to VM Esx (.OVA or .OVF) Format
    2. How to take backup or copy VM from Oracle VM for Converting other formats.
    3. Are we need to use the same version of Manager and Server? Manager Version= Server Version OR  Manager Version < Server Version OR Manager Version > Server version.
         I am using manager 3.2.2 and server 3.2.1 Is it OK?
    Thank You,
    Regards,
    Prakash T

    Questions: Could you pls help me on following issues?
    1. How to Convert OVM machines to VM Esx (.OVA or .OVF) Format
    Answer: The only way I have done this is to import the the Oracle VM into VMware ESX with VMware P2V conversion. The one key thing you have to make sure of here is that if it is a Linux Virtual machine that you are moving to VMware you must start the Virtual Machine in a standard no Xen kernel before you do the P2V conversion as VMware will choke on the any Xen kernel.
    Now if you want to go from VMware to OVM follow the instructions on this link: Re: Import VMWare VirtualMachine into OVM 3.2.2.520
    2. How to take backup or copy VM from Oracle VM for Converting other formats.
    Answer: Read this white paper for Guidence on Oracle VM Backup's.
    http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/server-storage/vm/ovm3-backup-recovery-1997244.pdf
    3. Are we need to use the same version of Manager and Server? Manager Version= Server Version OR  Manager Version < Server Version OR Manager Version > Server version. I am using manager 3.2.2 and server 3.2.1 Is it OK?
    Answer: I would strongly recommend that you keep the Manager and Servers on the same version.
    I know for doing upgrades the Manager should be upgraded first and then the servers can be upgraded.  See section 5.1 in the upgrade document.  http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E35328_01/E35330/E35330.pdf
    Hope this helps. Russell

  • Copying formatting from conditional formatting without the rules

    I tend to use a lot of conditional formatting in my spreadsheets. Unfortunately, this leads to two problems:
         1) I need more rules than are allowed (this seems to be related to the height of my screen... probably because the dialog box doesn't have a scrollbar)
         2) This really, really slows things down, especially when combined with cell references, and particularly when I'm trying to rearrange cells (as far as I can see Numbers has a tendency to freeze and/or blank out the table I'm working on)
    The easiest way I can see out of my predicament would be to somehow remove the conditional formatting rules while keeping the actual formatting... like copy-and-pasting values instead of the actual cells (with intact formulae). Is this possible? And if possible, how would I go about doing it?
    Thanks in advance!

    Up to 15 rules can be set for conditional formating of a cell.
    1)
    Considering that the usual purpose of conditional formatting is to flag 'unusual' values, and to make the 'condition' instantly visible and recognizable, that seems an over generous number. If a cell or group of cells on your table 'needs' more than 15 possible formats (the base format and 15 others based on rules), perhaps what's needed is a re-thinking of why that many are needed, and whether having that many formats adequately answers that 'why'.
    If you really do need that many, you can set then, even if your display height is filled with fewer than that. Additional rules may be inserted after any existing rule, not just the last one. note, though, that the conditions are evaluated in the order the rules are listed, from top to bottom, and the format is set by the first rule encountered whose condition is met.
    2)
    Not surprising. Numbers recalculates the entire table each time a value in the table is changed. That calculation includes through each list of conditional formatting rules until a match is found (or the end of the list is reached), and includes setting the new format for each affected cell.
    3)
    Not that I'm aware of. The base format of the cell may be copied (option-command-C) and pasted elsewhere (option-command-V), and that pair of operations will include any conditional format rules that had been set for the original cell.
    But conditional formatting is just that—a set of rules that applies a set of attributes to a cell when a specific condition is met. The applied format exists only when the condition is met, and can't be copied except by copying the rule—actually the whole set of rules for that cell—which puts you no further ahead.
    3a) You could, of course, change the base format of the cell to match the colour and style applied by the conditional rule, then clear the conditional format rules for that cell or set of cells. That would 'remove the rules while keeping the (applied) formatting', and would leave the formulas intact. seems to me a game not worth the candle, though.

  • Why can't continue play awb format file after call...

    Need a help!
    When I use most of S40 phone to playing awb format file,if playing be interrupt, music player can't continue to play from where it stopped.Is that normal? Or this relate awb format?
    Proconditon: Had connect headset (phone support)
    Step: Activate Music player to play awb format file > Answer a call or interrupt by alarm > Press play to continue play this file > The awb format file can't continue play from where it stopped, it play from begining.(others format file,like mp3,wma,can continue play)
    Who can explain this problem? Thanks a lot!!

    Thank you for your prompt response.
    I did take a look at the Jira issue you referenced. It suggests that the MediaPlayer be set to null in the MediaView after the last media file has been played and nullify the MediaPlayer reference. However, all this relies on GC to cleanup the resources. (In fact, the sample code in Jira shows a call to System.gc(), which, I understand, is not guaranteed to run immediately.)
    All the same, I tried the suggestion, but it didn't help my situation. So I am stuck with my alternative.
    It is rather disheartening that there is not a clear cut API for cleaning up media resources when you are done, instead of being dependent on GC.
    Thanks again.

  • Answers Decimal Points

    When I'm in answers it is by default rounding all of my dollar amount columns to one decimal point.
    Ex: Amount = $17.55 (on the database) is rounding to $17.6 in my Answers result.
    I know that I have the ability to edit the format in Answers to override the result (specify two decimal points). However, i would like to set it up so that it is by default always producing two decimal points.
    Where would I set this up?
    Thanks...

  • Ustom Date Format

    Hi All,
    I have a date column whose data type in repository is timestamp. Also the date column is a part of Time Hierarchy, the next level is the time.
    In order to display only the date in MM/DD/YYYY, we are using Custom Data type. But when we drill down and go to the next level ie hours. The report shows MM/DD/YYYY iinstead of date.
    I am using OBI 11g. Please help me in resolving it.
    Thanks in advance.
    Edited by: user13519638 on Aug 8, 2011 10:39 PM

    Remove the custom format from answers colum property for date column. Instead change the type of date column to date in physical column of RPD. And the rest as it is....it shud work fine then.

  • RS232 data format

    Dear all Dasylab users. I am using Dasylab to connect TSE Syringe pump to PC. I managed to get Dasylab to communicate with my device, but I am having trouble parsing the data effectively. I've been searching the forums and think this has a very simple solution.
    I'm just having trouble finding the correct command to put in the "measurement data format" box for each channel. I get a string: <STX>00P900.5MH<ETX> (in RS232 monitor)
    (It means 00 channel; P status;900.5 value; MH unit) I tested plenty possibilities but nothing works. I need to get all 4 information. Status and unit to the Global string 11 and 12. I thing the correct measurement data format would be:
    Channel 0 - "\x02" 2a
    Channel 1 - $11 1a
    Channel 2 - 5a
    Channel 3 - $12 2a \r\n
    but it doesn’t work (numbers are correct but the strings not). I use (for measurement data request) string “RAT\r\n” at Chanel 0, the other channels are empty.
    The second problem is when I need second information. I use next Channel (Channel 4) with measurement data request RAT\r\n and measurement data format "\x02" x3 5a \r\n. I get in RS232 monitor string <STX>00P42.48<ETX>. If I use only this one channel (as Channel0) so it works correctly but it doesn’t work with the previous four channels.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Thank a lot for your help.
    Using the "b" instead of "a" helps solve the problem with channel1. But problem with channel3 (UNIT) survive. The string is empty. I can use the same solution as for channel 1(may be, it is even better because I can transfer MH to ml/h) but I would like to know how to send it to the string. (I tested both $12a\r\n and $12a\r strings) It looks, that measuring one time checks the channels 0, 1 and 2 and then waits. (I have action and message box connected to input and if the measuring is correct the messages repeated each 0.5 s (this is a sampling frequency).
    I know that is impossible to use the same search string twice, but I don’t know how send next question/string to the equipment. I tested use new channel and also new slave module, no success.
    Now, when I have the formats:
    Channel
    Format
    request
    answer
    0
    "\x02" 2a
    RAT \r\n
    00
    1
    b
    83
    2
    5a
    900.5
    3
    b
    77
    4
    b
    72
    Everything is correct. When I add one channel, one times the correct values appears at first 5 channels but then all goes wrong and measuring waits:
    Channel
    Format
    request
    answer
    0
    "\x02" 2a
    RAT \r\n
    00

    b
    72
    4
    b
    83
    5
    4x 5a
    DIA \r\n
    When I use monitor and switch repeatedly Chn.0 and Chn.5 I obtain:

  • Apply conditional format to hierarchy groups

    Hi experts!
    (Using obiee 11.1.1.5.0)

    It has been a while since I started this thread or even looked at it, so I am hazy on my original inquiry. I will have to look again.
