Formatting to the Cross tab

Hi,
I have a Webi Report with cross tab. it is sectioned on a "Group Name" dimension object. and it has "Product Categories" as columns in it.
Curently it is showing 3 product categories in 1st page and 4 categories in the 2nsd page in the last page 1 category is displayed.
the requirement is that in each page should have 4 categories to be displayed.
so what formatting changes that i have to do in infoview in order to modify the report such that each page will show 4 categories.
immediate help would be very helpful.
Regards,
Kishore.

Hello,
Have you figured this out yet?
Play with the properties of the report, specifically column width, and also some of the section properties, like "show empty columns" or "show empty measures" etc. You should be able to find something that consistently gives you what you need,
Thanks

How to refernce the field in the cross-tab report

Hello,
I'm trying to refer to the field in the cross-tab report using GridRowColumnValue function.
The field name in formulas is DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed, so I'm trying to refer like this:
GridRowColumnValue("DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed")
I'm getting:
"This is not the name of a grid group for the field being formatted."
I've tried different way - gave the name of the field, for instance, or used the name form the Cross-tab expert - Max of DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed, or simply use "Completed" - nothing worked.
I see the possible cause for it. DevelopmentTracking_SELECT.Completed is not a row or column name, in the Cross-tab expert this is a Summarized field. How to reference the field like this correctly?
Thank you,
Peter

Oh I thought it is
ROW: Product Name
COLUMN: Anticipated Date, Completed
SUMMARIZED FIELDS: Product Stage
Anyhow try to move the Completed field above the Anticipated Date in SUMMARIZED FIELDS by clicking up arrow.
Now right click on the field Completed go to format field-->write the suppress condition like this
WhilePrintingRecords;
boolenavar i;
i:=CurrentFieldValue;
false
Now right click on the Anticipated Date field and go to font and write the condition for color like this
WhilePrintingRecords;
boolenavar i;
If CurrentFieldValue >= CurrentDate Then
crGreen
Else If CurrentFieldValue < CurrentDate And i=False Then
crRed
Else
crBlack
I hope this helps!

None of the cross tabs are being exported to Excel

Hi All,
I am experiencing a strange problem of export failing when any of the cross tab is exported. It comes out with a message,
"An error occurred while trying to export the Worksheet.
(Export failed.) "
This is occuring in Plus and Viewer.
But All the tables are being exported without any problem.
Any Idea ???
Thanks

Hide the cross-tab headers

Hi -
I am trying to figure out how to hide the cross-tab headers on even number pages. I know that I can suppress the text in the header columns but I would also like to hide the cells as well. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
Akash

hi Akash,
unfortunately there is no ability to hide the cells / space for column headers that are suppressed. the grid lines cannot be conditionally hidden either.
if you really need this look and feel you may wish to insert a 2nd section below your existing cross-tab. copy and paste the cross-tab into the new section and have that 2nd cross-tab's column header suppressed as well as shrink up this header with the Size and Position > Height property. you can then remove the grid lines (if applicable) on the column header for this 2nd cross-tab.
now you need to conditionally suppress the new section based on the page number and the original section based on the page number. to suppress the new section should be
remainder(pagenumber, 2) <> 0
and for the original section
remainder(pagenumber,2) = 0

Format Fields in Cross Tab and Calculated Members

Hello:
I have a cross Tab with a calculated member, I need to display one decimal or no decimal in some of the columns so I created a formula in the Display String option like this:
if GridRowColumnValue ("@TestID_desc")= "ALK mg/L
then
Cstr(CurrentFieldValue, "0")
else
Cstr(CurrentFieldValue, "0.0")
But, after I saved the formula the value in the calculated member colums disappears. Any ideas? Thank You in advance!

right click on calculated field and go to format field and in number tab select customize button and write the condition for decimals.
regards,
Raghavendra

How to move vertically the fields without using the Cross tab layout

Hi all,
I'm using Oracle Business Intelligence Discoverer Plus 10g (10.1.2.48.18).
With Administrator I created a custom folder and I have the following list of fields:
Ticket id
Creation date
Actual Situation
Gravity
Owner
Category
Group
Inside my report I have as parameter the Ticket id, and then my intention is to create a page item for the ticket id, in order to change it directly from the report.
Now my question is very simple. Instead to show the data as usual:
!http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/3da37e6a71.jpg!
I'd like to know if there's a way to show these fields exactly in this way:
!http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/e578a40bb4.jpg!
I tried to create a Cross tab layout, starting from the Table layout, but it doesn't work because I don't have data points to show, and above all I don't need a Cross tab logic.
I need only to move vertically all the fields in order to show, for each ticket, all the ticket's details as shown above.
Is it possible to have this layout ?
Thanks in advance
Alex

Hi Rod, I'm sorry if I answered you only now.
My expression "in order to change it directly from the report" was just related to the Ticket Id, but right now the customer's requirements changed and I don't need to change it inside the report ; I just insert the Ticket Id at the beginning as parameter and then I see all its details.
So, I tried your second solution (row generators) following the article on the blog...and It worked perfectly.
Summarizing I created:
1. a folder called "Row Generator - 20 rows"
2. a complex folder called "Fields names"
and then I created a join between the Tickets folder and the Fields names folder with the Dummy field
I also create a LOV (on the Administrator) based on a calculated field inside the Fields names folder (I followed the LOV example shown inside the Row Generators Blog Article).
Now, created the first piece:
!http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/e578a40bb4.jpg!
I'm trying to create others details blocks, always in "vertical style" (Customer’s Data, Further Information, etc) as below:
!http://www.freeimagehosting.net/uploads/8e006eb3cf.jpg!
Do you know if this layout is feasible ?

How to show the variable values in key format in the information tab

Dear all
in the information tab of the query, we can see all the filters and the variable value. But we can only see the infoobject <b>text</b> of this variable, how can we do if the user needs to see the <b>key</b> of this variable?

I've referred to the Web API, and find a way to display some specified variable, but since this is the standard webtemplate and we need to show all the possbible variable used in the query. Anybody has better solution?

Cross-tab report: need to SUM field and present as HH:MM:SS format

I am creating a cross-tab report and several of the selected data fields I need to summarize are time-based fields, which are stored as seconds in the database. When I create a standard report, the formula to convert the seconds to HH:MM:SS and SUM works just fine, but when I try to bring that formula field into the cross-tab report, it does a COUNT on it rather than a SUM.
How can I get it to SUM that data and present it in an HH:MM:SS format in the cross-tab report?
Here is the formula I'm using in the Standard Report to convert from seconds to HH:MM:SS and SUM the data.
totext(abs((Sum ({wagent.acwtime})) / 3600),"00") & ":" &
totext(abs(remainder((Sum ({wagent.acwtime})),3600) / 60),"00") & ":" &
totext(abs(remainder(remainder((Sum ({wagent.acwtime})),3600),60)),"00");

In the cross tab, do the sum on {wagent.acwtime}. In the cross tab on the page, right click on the field for the sum, select Format, press the X-2 next to Display String, and enter your three line formula, replacing {wagent.acwtime} with CurrentFieldValue.

Suppress Columns shift Cells Lefts in Cross Tabs

Hello All
I need some help getting a cross tab report to suppress data correctly.
I have the following reporting requirement
Based upon Fiscal Year Period Selection report should start from the input period back 24 months.
Example
For the following example I use selection criteria of FY 2008 and period 11
Report should look as follows
                                      2008
                                      11        10         9          8         7 ....
Account Receivable     100      200       300      4000   5000 ....
Where the starting column is the input period 11
The table structure is
Account Number, FY, Key Figure Period 1, Key Figure Period 2, Key Figure Period 3 .... Key Figure Period 12
Parameters
Fiscal Year
Period
Cross Tab Format is
                                 FY
Account Number      Key Figure Period 12, Key Figure Period 11, Key Figure Period 10, ... Key Figure Period 1
When conditionally suppressing the field I am using a suppression formual
Key Figure Period 12 = {?FY}="2009" and {?Period}<"12"
Key Figure Period 11 = {?FY}="2009" and {?Period}<"11"
Key Figure Period 10 = {?FY}="2009" and {?Period}<"10"
etc.
The problems is that when I suppress I just get a blank field
                                      2008
                                      12      11       10         9          8         7 ....
Account Receivable              100      200       300      4000   5000 ....
What I want is a complete suppression of the column and commence the report from Period 11 as follows.
                                      2008
                                      11       10         9          8         7 ....
Account Receivable      100      200       300      4000   5000 ....
Can anyone provide tips on how to achieve this?
Thanks
Phillip

Thanks for your help. Sorry for my wording causing confusion I am new at Crystal Reports. I think I may have caused some confusion for I am actually wanting to stop the summarized data from showing, and shifting the summarized data to the left based upon a selection criteria.
Some more details
The Cross Tab has a Column heading of Fiscal Year.
The summarized values report the contents of fileds GLTO_HSL12 etc and are shown horizontaly with the label showing.
I can suppress the summarized fields so that they wont show. What I am trying to do is get the summarized fields to move to the left if based upon a selection criteria the logic I am applying is as follows
If Fiscal Year is 2009 and period is 10 then show summarized data from field GLT0_HSL10 to GLT0_HSL1 with GLT0_HSL10 being the first summarized field reported.
Currently based upon the Fiscal Year is 2009 and period is 10 example I can only blank out the summarized data for GLT0_HSL12 GLT0_HSL11 the actual format of the cross tab remains static.
Cross Tab Layout
______________________________FY2009
Summarized Data Heading_______| Period 12_____| Period 11 _____| Period 10 | ....Period 1
Row 1_______________________| GLT0_HSL12__|GLT0_HSL11__|GLT0_HSL10__|...
using suprresion formula in summarized fields I can achieve the following
______________________________FY2009
Summarized Data Heading_______| Period 12_____| Period 11 _____| Period 10 | ....Period 1
Row 1_______________________| ____________|________________|GLT0_HSL10__|...
What I want though is
______________________________FY2009
Summarized Data Heading_______| Period 10_____ | Period 9
Row 1_______________________|GLT0_HSL10__|GLT0_HSL09__|...
I hope this explains my problem alittle better.

Unable to bold a cell verticle line in Cross-tab Format Grid Lines

Hi
I am unable to bold a random Cell vertical line inside the cross-tab. My cross-tab is having access database which pulls every data correctly,
To elaborate , here is the images to make it clear.
First one is the current output of cross-tab & 2nd one is the desired output :
To make it more clear ,
I am giving the screenshot of Format grid lines option, when I have selected Cell vertical lines , I can change Line options (Like style,width,color) from it. When I change it, it changes all three lines simultaneously. But, in that, I just want to bold only the last line of this grid.
The screenshot as follows (To denote the lines, I have put numbering under the vertical lines, where I want to bold only the third one) :
Please let me know, if any solution to this. I m using CRVS_13.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi,
try to do this way..
Right click on crosstab - > crosstab expert -> customize style -> select your particular column then goto Format Grid Lines -> select your particular one based view -> ok..
I hope this not yet possible because select 1 automatically 2,3 vertical lines are selected..
See how it works......Please update ASAP

Date Formatting in Charts and Dynamic column resizing in Cross tabs

Hi All,
I am new to Design Studio, so am in desperate need of your help on the following:
Is there a way we can change the date format in x axis in charts?
For ex: Am getting dates as mm/yyyyy from BW but requirement is to show in yy-Mon
Requirement is to display data in cross tab just below the charts. How can I make the column widths in the cross tab the same as x-axis divisions in the chart? Also, this will be dynamic as depending on filter selection x axis scaling in charts will vary.
In cross tab, can I hide the column header?
Would really appreciate any kind of help from you.
Thanks & Regards
Swasti

HI Swasti,
To answer your first question, in Design Studio it's what you see is what you get! so it shows the Data Labels as it is in the BEx output, if you have to modify this you have to change it in the Background.
There might be CSS workarounds, but I am not sure if that will satisfy your requirements.
You can fix the Column width, but it would be constant, aligning that to your X-axis would require a lot of Effort.
You cannot hide the Column header directly, but one workaround would be to use a white BG text component to overlay on the Crosstab.

Fazith Ali Z

Conditional Format in Cross-Tabs

Hello,
i have a problem with conditional formatting in cross-tabs(Word-Template-Builder)
My Cross-Tab looks like:
+++++++++++++++++++ColumnHeader1
+++++++++++++++++++ColumnHeader2
+++++++++++++++++++ColumnHeader3
RowHeader 1 | Row Header 2 | Data
First Problem: If "Row Header 2" has a certain value, the whole row should have a different background-color or borderthickness should be different
-i tryed it at "Row Header 2" with +<?if@row:...?><?attribute@incontext:background-color;'lightgrey'?><?end if?>+ but this will only effect the background-color of "RowHeader 1" and outside of the cross-tab. Formatting font-style works fine with this solution.
Second Problem: Similar to first problem. If "ColumnHeader3" has a certain value, the whole column should have a different background-color or borderthickness.
-i tryed it at "Column Header 3" with +<?if:...?><?attribute@block:background-color;'lightgray'?><?end if?>+ but this will only effect the background-color of "ColumnHeader 3".
In case i have to do the conditional formatting at cell ("Data"), how can i address the fields "columnHeader3"/"RowHeader 2" in the if-clause?
Thanking you in anticipation.

drop me mail to MY id in Profile Location, with template and xml.
i can help.

Help on conditionally Formatting Field in a Cross Tab

Hi all,
I like to conditionally format a number field in a cross tab, ie. on a certain column the number should show 2 decimal places, otherwise no decimal places. I have tried a formula in the Decimals of the Format Field, If {Command.COL_TITLE}= "G"
Then
2
else
0.
Column G is the one that is to display the number in 2 decimal places. The formula runs, but it never {Command.COL_TITLE}= "G" is never true, ever. COL_TITLE is the columns of the Cross Tab.
Any ideas ?
Thanks
Austin

Austin,
If you are trying to format a column then try using the GridRowColumn function.
In the Customize Style tab highlight the column field and check what the alias for formula is. Then format the decimal places for the summarized field with a formula similar to the following;
If GridRowColumn("Alias for formula value") = "G" then 2 else 0
