Applying order by for the data comming from the formula column

Dear Friends,
I am having a report in which some of the columns in which data is comming from the formula columns,but i need the data in asc order.
How can i do it.
Please advice.

I am having a report in which some of the columns in
which data is coming from the formula columns,but i
need the data in asc order.Lets say you have this query:
select empno, sal, comm from emp
And you have empno, sal, comm and a formula column 'f_percentage' in one group. Add one dummy column in the query, like this:
select 'temp' temp, empno, sal, comm from emp
Move this 'temp' column into the second group (drag and drop outside the first group). You don't have to create repeating frame/or need to show this 'temp' column on the report.
Now if you use break order on formula column, that should work. Make sure you have break order on other columns also. Arrange items (change order) in data model as you needed. Run your report before and after this change and make sure you have same number of rows before and after this change.
(from reports builder's help)
"Break Order has no effect on columns that belong to the lowest group of a particular query. Break Order only affects columns in groups that are above the lowest child group of a query"

Column Order in a pivot table

Hi,
I have a question about the column order in a Pivot Table in a WebI (xi r3.1) report
At the moment I have the following Pivot Table
                   |1                                                 | 2
                   | Produced Water | Produced Oil | Produced Water | Produced Oil
Platform 1   | 2                         | 3                    | 4                         | 5
Platform 2   | 3                         | 4                    | 5                         | 6
I want to have the following pivot table instead
                    | Produced Water                         | Produced Oil
                    | 1                         | 2                    | 1                         | 2
Platform 1    | 2                         | 4                    | 3                         | 5
Platform 2    | 3                         | 5                    | 4                         | 6
Is it possible to setup the above pivot table in a WebI report?
Many Thanks for any help,
Dirk Jan

Dirk Jan,
That's a question regurlarly asked to me by users and the solution (as long as nobody is comming up with a better one) is to create variables for the measures for each month (using the WHERE operator).
So you need to define 12 variables (for each month) for Product Oil and Product Water (PO month1, PO month 2, ...., PW month 1, PW month 2 ....) using the formula (eg. PO month1):
=[Product Oil] Where ([month] = 1)
Then instead of a crosstab you build a table where you can put the variables in any order you want.

Formula Column in Matrix Report (Running Balance)

Hi all. I hope somebody can help me.
I am working on a matrix report using multi-query data models. The report has 2 groups in the horizontal axis and 3 groups in the vertical axis. The intersection is not just a single row but may consist of multiple rows.
My problem is this. I want to create a column in the intersection which is obtained by using a column value from the lowest group in the vertical axis and a summary column obtained from the rows of the intersection.
Here's what my report looks like:
2002 (accross)
2002(down) january february (accross)
January (down) payments balance payments balance
loan #1 10,000 500 9,000 200 8,800
500
loan #2 5,000 100 4,900 200 4,700
February
loan #3 3,500 0 3,500 50 3,450
loan #4 4,200 0 4,200 0 4,200
As you can see, the loans are grouped by month and year. And the payments are grouped for the month and year too.
The data model is :
For Query 1 (Vertical Axis),
1st group - Loan Yr
2nd group - Loan Mo
3rd group - Loan # and amount
For Query 2 (Horizontal Axis)
1st group - Payment Yr
2nd group - Payment Mo
Intersection Group - Payment Amount
My problem actually is how to compute for the running balance of the loan for each month in the horizontal axis. Ive already created a cross product summary to get the running total of the payments made for the month. I tried creating a formula column to for the running balance by subtracting it from the loan amount but i get the error "incompatible frequency"
I hope i have described my problem well and thanks for the help

The problem is that you're trying to reference dimension columns(loan Amount) in the calculation of matrix cell values. You can only reference other matrix cell values or cross product columns (summary, formula, placeholders) when calculating matrix cell values. Try moving the (loan Amount) column down to the matrix cell - something like:
For Query 1 (Vertical Axis),
1st group - G_LoanYear(LoanYr)
2nd group - G_LoanMonth(LoanMo)
3rd group - G_LoanNumber(Loan#)
For Query 2 (Horizontal Axis)
1st group - G_PaymentYear(PaymentYr)
2nd group - G_PaymentMonth(PaymentMo)
Intersecion /Detail Group - G_Details(PaymentAmount, LoanAmount)
Then create the following Matrix summary columns:
A running summary - CS_Payments:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber G_PaymentYear G_PaymentMonth
- Source: PaymentAmount
- Function: Sum
- Reset At: G_LoanNumber
The total amount per loan - CS_TotalPayment:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber
- Source: LoanAmount
- Function: First
- Reset At: G_LoanNumber
The value of the loan after each payment - CF_Countdown:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber G_PaymentYear G_PaymentMonth
- PL/SQL Formula:
function CF_CountdownFormula return Number is
begin
return(:CS_TotalPayment - :CS_Payments);
end;
You should then be able to display "CF_Payments" and "CF_Countdown" in the matrix cell to show how much has been paid and how much is still owed.
You can still have another "loan amount" as a dimension column - you just don't need to use it when calculating the values in the cell.

Report painter variables in formula columns

Hello,
I need to insert variable in column formula to create average month result.
using syntax 'variable' or &variable is Incorrect formula component message .
How can i enter variables in formula columns?
Thanks ,
Ran

Hi
I suspect you are not able to use the '& symbol in the formula in your system because the note 593897 was not present in old release.
Due to this note there is no need to enter '&' symbol for variables in the formula but in order for the variables to be used please make sure that the variable is contained in the general data selection of the report.

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
    for Example...
          if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
                    <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.
Regards,
Amrita

Report Does Not Follow Select Column Order

Hi all,
Apex 2.2 on 10gXE
I always encounter this problem, the display column on report does not follow the select column sequence order in the "region source".
It is very tedious clicking the up/down arrow one-by-one in the "report attributes" especially if the display columns are plenty like 40 columns.
Is there a fix/patch or alternative tips for this bug?
Thanks a lot,

This is not a bug. APEX maintains the original column order of the report. This avoids problems downstream in areas like the processing of <tt>g_fnn</tt> arrays in declarative tabular forms, where the assigned arrays are column-order dependent.
APEX 4.x fixes column ordering bugs that could lead to report corruption, and includes drag-and-drop column ordering in the new tree view in addition to the up/down arrow re-ordering.
If you really want column order to follow that in the source query, the workaround is to create a new report using the modified query.

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.
Thanks & Rgds,

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.
