Formulas and Groups

Post Author: vondee
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have a report grouped by year, with a percent total for each year that is calculated in a formula from running totals:
2004 - XX%
2005 - XX%
2006 - XX%
2007- XX%
I want to add a formula next to the percent that calculates the difference between that year's XX% and the previous year. So the result of 2007 XX% - 2006 XX% appears in the 2007 group. The result of 2006 XX% - 2005 XX% appears next to 2006, etc.
Is this possible in Crystal? Thanks for any ideas-

Seems to me there's a prevrow function that can be used to return a value. Not sure if I'm remembering correctly or not and what the behaviour is in a group.

Formula by Group and based on a condition

Post Author: Ravi
CA Forum: Formula
Hi All,
I need to create a formula by Group and based on a condition. Below the syntax is wrong but this is the calculation that I am after!
Sum({@Test_Dollars}, ) where {Customer Number} = 12
Basically, I need to display/calculate the 2nd column in the sample report/output.
                  All Customers                    Only Customer 12
Company    $500                                  $125
    Zone A $200                                   $50
   Zone B   $300                                   $75
Thanks in advance,
Ravi

I think you should be able to get this from a running total with a formula to only include records where the customer number - 12

Calendar View: Unable filter Recurring Event by Start/End Time and Group by Recurring Event View

Hi All,
I have just found several issues with Calendar View from WSS 3.0:
Unable to filter by [Start Time] and [End Time]
I am not sure why these 2 columns doesn't appear in the Filtering column in the View Settings. The workaround found in the internet is to create calculated column for Start Time and and End Time. However, it doesn't work for Recurring Event, the calculated column will show only first recurring event Start Time.
Unable to use "Group By"
When I create new view in Calendar using format: "Standard View, with Expanding Recurring Events", there is no option to specify "Group By". Anyone knows how to show all recurring event in List view and grouped by Start Time (or any other column).
Thank you and apprecate for any idea.

Hello,
I got this from a colleague of mine so I can't take credit for it but here might be a possible workaround:
1. Create two new Columns called Start Filter and End Filter. Make these columns Calculated Columns with formulas of [Start Time] and [End Time] respectively. The columns should be of the Date and Time\Date and Time type and should not be displayed on the Default View.
2. Click Advanced Settings and choose Yes to the question "Allow management of Content Types" in the Content Types section. Click OK.
3. Click on the Event Content Type. Open the two columns created in step 1 and select "hidden" for both of them. Click OK.
4. Back at the list settings create a new view or edit an existing view. When you get to the filter section choose "Show items only when the following is true" and select the following:
Start Filter
is less than or equal to
[Today]
And
End Filter
is greater than or equal to
[Today]
5. Click OK to save the view.
6. Open the List view web part that is displaying the recently changed calendar and change the view to the newly created or newly edited view. Click Apply, OK.

Formula help - Group totals for more than one date range

Post Author: melcaylor
CA Forum: Formula
I need to show in 3 columns
inside of a grouping that totals an amount field based on a date
range that amount was posted. So for example:
Billy Bob in the state of MA made $5.5m total, $800k in the last 21 days, $400k in the last 14 days and $150k in
the last 7 days.
I assume this is possible but I
just donu2019t know what type of formula to write to make it work. For this
example, there are 2 tables u2013 user table and $$ table. The User table has
the user name, the $$ table has the pay date and the amount.

CA Forum: Formula
You only need simple formulae in Running Totals to accomplish this.
1. Group by Name
2. Create the following Running Totals:
2.1 A running total to sum the pay amount for all records, and resets on 'Change of Group' of Name.
2.2 A running total to sum the pay amount and for 'Evaluate' click on the radio button next to 'Use a formula' and then click on X-2 button next to it.
In the formula workshop window type a formula such as: {table.payment_date} in (currentdate - 21) to currentdate;
For 'Reset' click on the radio button next to 'On change of group' and pick the group name.
2.3 Create another running total just as in step 2.2 above but change the formula to: {table.payment_date} in (currentdate - 14) to currentdate;
2.4 Create the last running total just as in step 2.2 above but change the formula to: {table.payment_date} in (currentdate - 7) to currentdate;
Hide the details section and in the group footer place text boxes with appropriate text and insert these running totals to give you the numbers you want.
The only issue I see with this is if a person was paid yesterday a sum of $25, then it will show $25 for total, last 7days, last 14days and also for last 21days. At first look it might be mistaken for $75.

Group Description in Drill down and grouping on field

I want to put a formula field for grouping, but I want to display some text(description) in group drill down.
My group field is numeric and I want to display text on right side of drill down report.

Hi Seema,
In order to display a different group name you may try the below steps:
- Right click on the group and click on change Group option and then click on Options taband then check the box which says 'Customize Group Name Field'.
- Now either 'choose from existing field' or 'use a formula as group name' to display the group description.
This would help you to display the appropriate description for that field.

Column displays going down. Need it to go across and group together.

I have an Oracle report I've created and I'm trying to get certain columns of data to display only for the first row and grouped together going horizontally. It's hard for me to explain in words what I need to be done. I could email some screen shots explaining if someone is willing to help me. Thanks in advance!

What about using the report functionality itself?
Create the report as Group Left vendor wise and for the Repeating Frams of field Class_Code set the Print Direction to Across/Down and the Horizontal Elasticity to Variable and for all the Parent Frames same. Then it should work as expected.
Or keep the report tabular and use the formula column as below...
DECLARE
CURSOR Fetch_Codes IS
SELECT class_code
FROM table_name
WHERE vendor = :vendor;
vClsCodes table_name.class_code%TYPE;
BEGIN
FOR Get_Codes IN Fetch_codes LOOP
vClsCodes:=vClsCodes||Get_Codes.class_code||', ';
END LOOP;
RETURN vClsCodes;
END;In the layout editor use this formula column as source of class codes.

Partition Name in Select and Group-By

Is there a function that returns the partition name a row is stored in? I'd like to use it in a SELECT statement, if it exists.
The goal is to get row counts per partition to determine skew on a hash-based partition (otherwise, I'd just select and group-by the partition key). I want to do something like this:
SELECT PARTITION_NAME, COUNT(*) as PER_PART_COUNT
FROM SOMETABLE
GROUP BY PARTITION_NAME;Obviously, I would replace the string "*PARTITION_NAME*" with whatever function returns that value.
NOTE: Before the forum sharks jump all over me, I did search the documentation and forums, but I came up empty handed.

Hi,
This is hokey - but you can use the undocumented function "tbl$or$idx$part$num" like so:
SELECT   atp.partition_name
       , COUNT (*) AS count_rows
    FROM all_tab_partitions atp
       , (SELECT tbl$or$idx$part$num ("SCOTT"."TAB1"
                                    , 0
                                    , 1
                                    , 0
                                    , partition_col1 -- your 1st partition key column
                                    , partition_col2 -- your 2nd partition key column
                                     ) AS part_num
               , 'TAB1' AS table_name
               , 'SCOTT' AS owner
            FROM scott.tab1) pt
   WHERE atp.table_name = pt.table_name
     AND atp.table_owner = pt.owner
     AND atp.partition_position = pt.part_num
GROUP BY atp.partition_name;Note - this probably won't perform well at all... but it could be an option...

... On 2nd thought - don't do it - it seems it is pretty unstable - brought my session to a halt a couple of times... Forget I mentioned it :)
... On 3rd thought - if you add ROWNUM - it works fine - seems you need to materialize the result set in the inner query - like so:
CREATE TABLE part_tab (part_key int
                     , a int
partition by range (part_key)
(partition p1 values less than (100)
,partition p2 values less than (200)
,partition p3 values less than (maxvalue)
insert into part_tab
select rownum
     , rownum
FROM all_objects
where rownum <= 1000; SELECT atp.partition_name
     , COUNT(*) AS count_rows
FROM all_tab_partitions atp
   , (SELECT TBL$OR$IDX$PART$NUM("PART_TAB", 0, 1, 0, part_key) AS part_num
           , 'PART_TAB' AS table_name
           , user AS owner
           , ROWNUM AS rn -- Materialize the result set by adding ROWNUM...
      FROM part_tab) pt
WHERE atp.table_name = pt.table_name
AND atp.table_owner = pt.owner
AND atp.partition_position = pt.part_num
GROUP BY atp.partition_name;

How to update a People and group field using a sandbox solution

Hi,
I am creating a sandbox solution for office 365 and creating a custom form using visual web part, which will allow users to enter data in a custom list.
And that list also have a user field. I am able to get SharePoint user field on the form (using javascript) which is searching for the user and get a value (working fine).
Issue: But I am not able to save the user value. Because to save user value I require web, UserID and login name, to construct SPFieldUserValue object or string in "111;#TestUser" format. Moreover that user should be present in
SiteUserInfoList.
I tried web.EnsureUser() but did not work under sanbox solution.
Can you please provide any pointer or workaround to the problem? I may be missing something here.
Thanks,
Himanshu

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to update the people and group field in Sandbox solution.
In the sandbox solution, you can still use the web.EnsureUser() function to get the user information, see the thread below:
EnsureUser in sandboxed solution
In additional, there is a demo with your similiar requirement for your reference:
Using the People Picker Control in Sandbox Solutions / Office 365

Hi I do not want iTunes to open up automatically when I turn on my macbook pro. I tried going to System Preferences Users and Groups Login Items and then I took iTunes off the list but it still opens up automatically when I turn on my laptop.

Hi r,
Make sure you close iTunes before shutdown. And you're quite welcome.

I am trying to stop programs from opening automatically when I turn my computer on. I tried system preferences users and groups login items...then I deleted them from the list but it did nothing.

Hi r,
It sounds like you're running Lion?
Have you tried running Verify and/or Repair Disk?
Have you tried running Repair Permissions?

How to change default /Users and /Groups to different Volume?

Users are created in /Volumes/<boot>/Users and groups in /Volumes/<boot>/Groups.
We need these to be created on a different volume, eg., /Volumes/External/Users, and /Volumes/External/Groups.
Setup Assistant correctly put user Backups into */Volumes/External/Shared Items/Backups* and also correctly put web services on /Volumes/External/ServiceData -- we want to do the same for Groups and Users.
Groups are the most critical, as the group needs bulk storage. Users we could leave as is if it can't be done.
How can this be configured? We've read File Server Admin, Open Directory Admin, and Advanced Server admin from http://www.apple.com/server/macosx/resources/documentation.html without finding an answer.
Thanks in advance.

1. Create new folders on the external volume to hold users and groups, but to prevent confusion name them something other than "Users" and "Groups". /Volumes/External/NetUsers and /Volumes/External/NetGroups would be reasonable choices.
2. Share both of these folders (in Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Volumes & Browse modes -> select each folder -> click Share near the top right).
3. Enable both folders for automounting on clients (Server Admin -> server name in sidebar -> File Sharing -> Share Points-> select each folder -> Share Point tab under that -> Enable Automount option) with the default options (Directory: /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1, Protocol: AFP, Use for: User home folders and group folders). Be sure to click Save (not just OK in the dialog).
4. To migrate users, run Workgroup Manager, and change the home location for the users you want to move (select Accounts in the toolbar -> /LDAPv3/127.0.0.1 from the hidden pop-up menu under that -> User icon tab at the left -> select the user(s) you want to change -> Home tab on the right -> select the NetUsers option from the "Where" list). Then, for each user, run this command on the server: "sudo cp -Rp /Users/username /Volumes/External/NetUsers".
5. Similarly, move Group folders in WGM (Accounts -> /LDAP... -> Groups icon on left -> select groups to move -> Group Folder tab on right -> NetGroups in the list). Then, for each group, run "sudo cp -Rp /Groups/groupname /Volumes/External/NetGroups".
6. Test to make sure all is working before deleting the old user and group folders from /Users and /Groups (do NOT delete /Users and /Groups themselves, just the individual folders from under them).

Generate report to show all users and groups in Shared Services in EPM 11x

Hi,
Is there any way to generate a report (like a migration report or job status report) which can be generated through workspace/shared services 11.1.1.3 so that my admin can look at all the users and groups created. Something that I can view and probably print out? Any suggestions?
~Adeeba

Yes, I knew this one. This basically shows me the users and groups assigned specific provision access. Is there any way to view a report that shows which users and groups have access to dimensions of an individual planning application?

Using member sorting and grouping with two reports sharing rows

Hi!
I have a problem with one report and I need some help or advise here.
I have two dimensions with dynamic expansion in rows (PRODUCT, MATERIAL), and I use the option Member Sorting and Grouping at Member selector to obtain the total amount of PRODUCT group by PARENTH1:
PRODUCT               MATERIAL          AMOUNT
TOTAL PROD_A-X                                   100
PROD_A_A             MAT1                          22
PROD_A_B             MAT1                          50
PROD_A_A             MAT2                          28
TOTAL PROD_B-X                                   120
PROD_B_A             MAT1                          30
PROD_B_A             MAT2                          50
PROD_B_B             MAT2                          40
This works fine if I only have one report, but I need to create another one sharing the row and page axis with the Default Report, when I do that the option Member Sorting and Grouping doesn't work. I really need to have two reports with shared rows and also the summation by PARENTH1, how can I do that?
Thank you very much

ASO MDX member formula and performance

Hi,
I am doing some testing about MDX formulas and performance. I found a performance issue but I can not understand why is taking so long time a report.
The situation is:
I create a report or a MDX query with:
6 dimensions in row and 1 dimension in column
rows:
Period - Filtered using a member
Year - Filtered using a member
Relationship Manager - Filtered using a member
Report Type - Filtered using a member
Local Relationship Manager - 4400 members level 0
Global Relationship Manager - 10400 members level 0
Column:
Account dimension, only a member
The member selected for Report Type (RM.Local) has a formula
My Report Type dimension has 10 members, there is one member where I store data called : RM.Input
My first test was
RM.Local his formula is [RM.Input] , the report is run in 1 second
RM.Local his formula is ([RM.Input],[MTD]) where MTD is a member level 0 store in my view dimension. The report run in 20 minutes. I was not expecting so bad performance when I only pointing at [RM.Input],[MTD]
Do you consider this time is reasonable when I am using this formula?
The mdx report is:
With
set [_Local Relationship Manager3] as 'Descendants([All Local Relationship Managers], 2)' = level 0 members
set [_Global Relationship Manager4] as '[Global Relationship Manager].Generations(4).members' = level 0 members
set [_Period0] as '{[Period].[Oct]}'
set [_Relationship Manager4] as '{[Relationship Manager].[Dummy1)]}'
set [_Report Type0] as '{[Report Type].[RM.Local]}'
set [_Year2] as '{[Year].[FY-2013]}'
select
{ [Account].[Expenses]
} on columns,
NON EMPTY {crossjoin({[_Local Relationship Manager3]},crossjoin({[_Global Relationship Manager4]},crossjoin({[_Period0]},crossjoin({[_Relationship Manager4]},crossjoin({[_Report Type0]},{[_Year2]})))))} properties MEMBER_NAME, GEN_NUMBER, [Global Relationship Manager].[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME], [Global Relationship Manager].[Memnor], [Local Relationship Manager].[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME], [Local Relationship Manager].[Memnor], [Relationship Manager].[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME], [Relationship Manager].[Memnor], [Period].[Default], [Report Type].[Default], [Year].[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME], [Year].[Memnor] on rows
from [DICISRM.DICISRM]

Ok Try this one
But here you have to change the MDX formula every month.
Year
--FY2009
--FY2010
--FY2011
--FY2012
Period
--TotalYear
----Qtr1
-------Jan
-------Feb
-------Mar
Let say if you're CurrentYear is FY2011 and you're Current Month is March then you're MDX will be
case when contains([Year].CurrentMember,MemberRange([FY2009],[FY2010])) and contains([Period].CurrentMember,MemberRange([Jan],[Feb]))
Then
B
else
C
end
For the Next month you just have to make a change in the MemberRange I.e.,(Replace Feb with Mar)
*case when contains([Year].CurrentMember,MemberRange([FY2009],[FY2010])) and contains([Period].CurrentMember,MemberRange([Jan],[Mar]))*
Then
B
else
C
end
I tested it and Its working fine.
I think this will solve you're problem but there might be a more elegant solution out there.

RSG
