There is a known issue that sounds like the problem you are experiencing

Your help will be highly appreciated.

Unless you have the periods explicitly stated in the webform design, im not sure it is possible to sum up just certain periods from one column (im assuming you have selected periods as ILvl0Descendants("Time") or similar).
Someone else may be able to shed further light on this...but as far as im aware you can only reference columns or rows (in terms of [A] or [1]) within dataform formulas.

Formula column value not updating in table?

Hi all,
I create the sample for master/detail form. In detail for prdcode,rate,qty,amount is there. When select prdcode it fetching prdcode,rate in a record and if you type the qty the amout will come based on formula(property) :qty*:rate.
It is available on screen. But when i store the data, in backend table the amount is be a null.
What is the problem.
Help me in this regards,
kanish

Hi kanish
Regarding Nul...
-u have to make sure that the formula is working fine and displaying the result in the form screen
-then the item u r storing MUST be a db item >yes and has a column name
-first of all select Help > display_error in the forms runtime may a db item error arais and the record is not correctly saved as u imagined.
u have 2 choices for the solution , i had both before may be it's not very cute but it will work...
1. In when-validate-item Trigger or related item triggers pls follow
SELECT Nvl(( :qty*:rate ) ,0)
INTO :UR_ITEM
FROM DUAL;2.In Pre-Update,Pre-Insert & Pre-Delete Triggers Pls assign the result of ur formula column to the item u want to calc as supposing u r doing the calc of formula in non-db item , then put the following in triggers mentioned ...
: item_name :=:qty*:rate;Hope this helps...

FORMULA COLUMN EXECUTION

Hi all!
I am using Report Builder 6i.
My report has several Groups (shown below)(that are user created, ie. not created due to the query).
Group_Organiser1
------Group_Organiser2
------------Group_Organiser3
-------------------Group_Organiser4
I have a Formula Column(FC) in Group_Organiser1. I want this FC to be executed only once, regardless of the number of rows included in/by the group. Hence, i want the FC to execute only when the value for Organiser1 changes (Eg. if there are 4 rows with Organiser1 = O1 and another 3 rows with Organiser1 = O2, I want the FC to execute only once when value changes from O1 to O2).
Currently the FC executes each time a row (that meets the grouping criteria, ie. 4 times for O1) is included in the group.
Hope this is enough information to solve this problem.
Eagerly waiting for any response...
Thank You.

Thanx Aguero for your reply but sorry to say it does not solve my problem.
I really need to control the number of times the FC executes because if it executes too early (or too often) it does not count all the people below Organiser1, hence i need it to execute just before the value for Organiser1 changes.
This is my 'program logic' for the FC:
-depending on who(hence designation) is retrieved below Organiser1, increment the User Parameters(UP) :AC, :DC, :MOMM etc (which indicate/represent the various designations).
-then when Organiser1 is about to change, using the non-zero UP return an output of the form "AC: 1, DC: 3, MOMM: 2"; and also reset the UPs to 0 (zero).
So, you can see that if the FC executes too early (or too often), the UPs are reset too early.
To give an analogy, my requirement (for the FC) is similar to 'Reset At' property of Summary Columns; my FC needs to Reset At/Execute only when Organiser1 changes.
(Another problem with what Aguero has suggested is that Organiser1 values are retrieved from the database so i have no way of knowing who is going to be retrieved.)
Thank You.

Formula column and database item yes

Hi,
i have a master detail form where one column of master block is formula column as well as its database item property is set to yes , i want the column value to be save in the database,
what should i do
using Forms 6i,
Regards,

Hi,
You cannot use a formula column as a database item. It won't save to the database. Use another item for calculated item, and then in the PRE-INSERT or PRE-UPDATE trigger, assign the value of the calculated item to the database item.

Manu.

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 in Report 9i Builder

Hi,
I use this configuration
Report Builder 9.2.0.1.0
Windows XP Service Pack 1
NLS_LANG "BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8ISO8859P1"
When I try to create a formula column that returns number, I have to choose datatype 'Nu'mero' (with accented u)as this is the only avaiable in the combo box. However when I write this PL/SQL code for the column:
function CF_17Formula return Number is
begin
RETURN(1);
end;
Reports gives me the message:
REP-0737: Deve ser uma funcao com retorno do tipo 'nu'mero'.
In English this message could be
REP-0737: Should be a function with return type 'nu'mero'.
I don't have this problem with Character or Date formula columns (these datatypes are called Caracter and Data in Portuguese).
It seems that Reports is having problems with u' (accented u) character. If I change NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 everything works fine because I can choose Number in the Formula Column Datatype in the Property Inspector.
The problem is in the function declaration not in the Return statement.
Could anyone help me? Tks.
Edmar

Edmar,
You are right. I could reproduce this issue.
I have filed a bug to fix it from the development in next patch
Thanks

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.

URL defined in formula column not converting as proper HTML tags

We are migrating a report to 10Gr2 (10.1.2.0.2) from reports 9i (9.0.2.03); This report has to route to a different web page. For this we have a formula column with meta tag call to refresh;its Contains HTM property set to Yes. But when run, the view source of HTML shows as if the tag is truncated and put in <tt> tag around it.
Any help on this is very much appreciated.

Hi svee,
Thanks for the reply.
For an example i tried with the bold option in the edit formula inorder to portray the html tags problem while exporting it to the pdf inspite of using the default bold option within the column properites like u said.
Suppose if i used html tags like
<br>, </br>
in the edit formula section or if i used any other html tags which is not present as a default option in bi like bold. At that time while exporting the report to pdf i can face the issue.
And also i need ur suggestion regarding with the values disappearing for the numeric column if a tooltip is used in it while exporting it to the pdf.

Dynamic name in formula column header

Greetings, i have a question - is it possible to create dynamic header of formula column?
For example - year on the form is 2012? in the header i want something like ratio "current year picked from forms year" to "current year -1", i.e. ratio 2012 to 2011
Is it possible?

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.
