do your computation there
pass the computed value to a parameter
so that your parameter get value when parameter form appears

Hi Rainer,
Many Thanks for your reply
I had done all the calculations in the report view earlier
and when i accessed it in the data template as follows
<element name="netSum" value="netSum" />
the xml output that i got was like
<R007>
<response>
<head>
<itemCount>8</itemCount>
<todayDate>2009-02-05T15:50:12.000+01:00</todayDate>
<creditorBGNumber>01829209</creditorBGNumber>
<creditorName>ANDROMEDA</creditorName>
</head>
<list>
<listItem>
<transactionDate>2008-09-03T00:00:00.000+02:00</transactionDate>
<netSum>-6647999</netSum>
<transactions>
<transaction>
<transactionType>AGCREDIT_TRANSFER</transactionType>
<serialNumber>5</serialNumber>
<amount>-1687200</amount>
</transaction>
</transactions>
</listItem>
</list>
</response>
</R007>
But the output that i want is something like this
<R007>
<response>
<head>
<itemCount>8</itemCount>
<todayDate>2009-02-05T15:50:12.000+01:00</todayDate>
<creditorBGNumber>01829209</creditorBGNumber>
<creditorName>ANDROMEDA</creditorName>
</head>
<list>
<listItem>
<transactionDate>2008-09-03T00:00:00.000+02:00</transactionDate>
<transactions>
<transaction>
<transactionType>AGCREDIT_TRANSFER</transactionType>
<serialNumber>5</serialNumber>
<amount>-1687200</amount>
</transaction>
</transactions>
<netSum>-6647999</netSum>
</listItem>
</list>
</response>
</R007>
Hence I used the BIP built in template function like this
<element name="netSum" value="transaction.SIGN_AMOUNT" function="SUM()"/>
but the sum() function is adding up all amounts as expexted,I want
the above newsum value as
Sum(AGdebit-AGCREDIT-AG_refund).

How to use a Formula Column in the main query?

Hi All,
I've tried to use a formula columns defined in some query in the condition of that query like this:
where (:cf_ex - :cf_ex2) >= 5
but when I run the report no data returned! Why? and how to use it the condition of the query?
Note: I'm using Forms 6i

where (:cf_ex - :cf_ex2) >= 5You cannot do that. Formula columns are not part of the select statement (which runs in the database), but are processed in the report.
When you created this query, my guess is that you got the message "Note: the query Q1 has created the bind parameter(s) cf_ex, cf_ex2". Check these User Parameters in your data model. So, you are actually referencing user parameters in the query, not formula columns.
I made a computations and things using PL/SQL that can't be done in the select statement in the data model!If it's pl/sql you can probably use that in your query. Create some database functions for cf_ex and cf_ex2 and use these in your query.

It looks like forms are not supporting text functions like FR yet, I gave it a try <<MemberName("<Formname>","<POV DIM Name>)>> in the formula header area and it didn't like it. It is just displaying what ever I typed in there.

Using In operator in Formula Column,URGENT!!!!!!!!!

Oracle 6i Formula Column

Hi Techies,
I have an Oracle 6i report which has a parameter form. It takes the argument Contract_Num as an input. Based on the value of the Contract_Num, a formula column displays a string.
Now I dont want to use the parameter form. I have simply modifed my report group query. I get all the contract_num in the output but the respective string is not displayed as I dont input any Contract_Num in the parameter form. The Formula Column always returns NULL in the all the pages.
Please advise on how to pass the contract_num to the Formula Column to display the respective string in each page.
Thanks
Sri

Hi Sri,
As you said you have modified your query, you can directly bind the variable in the formula column as
: (your variable).
If your formula is outside your report group. Please place your formula column within that record group and try.

Formula Columns are not working in Reports 10g

Hi,
We converted the reports developed in Reports 6i to Reports 10g. When we run the report in Reports 10g Builder everything works fine. But when we deploy the same report in Oracle Application Server and invoking the report the formula columns are not working ie., the fields/ placeholder columns which are based on the formula column are not displaying any values in the report.
Please, someone help us in this regard.

How to display a Sum field for a formula column?

Hi,
I need to display a sum for a formula column at the end of report. for example: my formu_col=col_1-col_2
col_1 col_2 formu_col
3 1 2
6 5 1
total:sum(col_1) sum(col_2) sum(formu_col)
now i have sum(col_1) and sum(col_2), but i don't have sum(formu_col)
thanks

Hi
You may add a summary column in the same data group that you have sum(col_1) and sum(col_2). In that properties of the new column point the source as formu_col.
Hope this helps.

Using PL/SQL in a formula column in Oracle Reports Builder.

Hi,
I need to SUM two record from the result of an SQL interrogation.
Here's what it looks like
function CF_1Formula return Number is
nTot1 NUMBER :=0;
nTot2 NUMBER :=0;
begin
     select sum(:TOT1) into nTot1 from table(Q1) ;
     select sum(:TOT2) into nTot2 from table(Q1) ;
     return (nTot1 + nTot2);
end;I'm kind of new to formula column programming any link of interest would be appreciated.
The from table(Q1) part Q1 represents my SQL interrogation name and the group below it is G_MAIN.

Hi Hong Kong King Kong,
From looking at that function name (and the group name): Is this an Oracle Reports generated function?
If so, there's also a dedicated Reports forum: Reports
By the way, I like your synonym for 'query'.
I'm sure I'll confuse some of my collegues tomorrow when I will mention 'database interrogation' instead of 'query'. ;)

Doh...I should not underestimate the information that is posted in thread subjects.

How to add a formula column in a report

Hi
I have made a report based on a query.
There are 3 columns in the query and all the 3 are displayed.
Now I want to add a new column (fomula column) to the report.
I want to write a query inside the formula column. To execute the query col1, col2 and col3 values are required in the formula column.
Could you please tell me how to add a formula column in the report and how to pass database column value to inside the formula column
regards

Here is how you would create a formula column:
Open data model of the report.
Formula column button is on the left side of the tool palette.
Click on that button.
Now click in the query group where you want to place the formula column.
You would see a new field something like CF_1. That is the formula column.
Double click on the field CF_1. It will open property inspector.
You would see, Datatype of the formula column is Number. Change this as per your requirement.
Double click on PL/SQL Formula property. It would open up a editor. Here you can write the code.
And now to access the data model column here, you can use : and column name. i.e. :col1 or :col2, etc
And remember you have to return the value back to the formula column. Like this: RETURN(some value).
You can also take a help from here:

Formula Column help please - URGENT

I'm trying to create a formula column as follows:
function NO_REPLIESFormula return Number is
NOREPLY number;
begin
SELECT COUNT(reply) INTO NOREPLY
FROM letters
WHERE reply = 'N'
GROUP BY ltrtype, batch;
RETURN (NOREPLY);
end;
This PL/SQL compiles fine, but when I run the report, I get the following messages:
REP-1401 no_repliesformula FATAL PL/SQL error occured. ORA-01422 exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows.
If I remove the GROUP BY ltrtype, batch, I don't get the error messages, but the result I get is the total no_replies instead of the total no_replies for each ltrtype/batch grouping.
Could someone please help me with this?
Thank you.

Hi irish,
I think i am not sure about what you are trying to say, but let me guess, You want the values to be return on the bases of "ltrtype, batch". Which mea that you want more then one values, i mean there can be more then one Groups based on ltrtype and batch. and you want to display these values with repective record???
If i am right, then there is a fault in your code, and that is , you are not specifing in your code that which value is to be diplayed with which record in this report. For that there must be ltrtype, batch colums displayed in the report, you must add those values in your Code in the query, i.e.
function NO_REPLIESFormula return Number is
NOREPLY number;
begin
SELECT COUNT(reply) INTO NOREPLY
FROM letters
WHERE reply = 'N' and ltrtype= :V_ltrtype and batch=:v_batch;
RETURN (NOREPLY);
end;
Where :V_ltrtype and :v_batch are the run time values of each records displayed in the report.
Remember that if you don't sepecify this then your code will return as many records as many distich values of ltrtype, batch. and your variable NOREPLY can hold only one value at a time. I hope you understand both, Solution and the logic behind the error.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks.
