FR Conditional Suppression on Formula Column

If I have 2 columns of data and 1 formula column taking the difference.
Row 1 is Base of Custom1, with conditional suppression on formula column if difference is <$5m
Row 3 is Total custom1
Row 2 is Other (ie [3] - [1].sum)
Row 1 suppresses fine, but row 2 returns zero as [1].sum is apparantly prcessed before the conditional suppression.
I've tried this before with suppression on Data columns and it worked fine. Is there a solution to this?

For best practice you should put any calculated rows as the last row, in your example I suggest you move the row 2 (the calculation row [3] - [1].sum) below row 3.
FR seems to calculate each row in turn, moving down the report - therefore it can miss calculations which reference other values or calculations down the sheet.

Conditional Suppression - No Data

I am working with Conditional Suppression via Studio (reporting).
I am trying to suppress a formula column/row where there is no data (the column is dividing the value by 12). I received #ERROR since the column formula cannot divide "no data by 12.
Any suggestions?

Hi
One of the options in the Advanced Suppression is to suppress if the data value is 'ERROR' so could you use this. Alternatively put the advanced suppression on the column that contains the 'No Data' value rather than on the one containing the formula.
Hope this helps

Suppress Missing Data not work in web form with formula column inside

Dear All,
I've a planning web form with formula column inside to calculate the variance and % variance. But missing cell can't be suppressed, although I've checked the 'Suppress Missing Blocks' and 'Suppress Missing Data' options.
Anyone have face the same problem..?? and how to fixed it..??
thanks.

VieN

There is a known issue that sounds like the problem you are experiencing
10358200 - If a formula column exists in a data form, selecting the Suppress missing option does not hide rows that do not contain data.

Formula in Query row suppress the formula in Query column

Hi all,
I have a problem that I hope you can help me with.
I have created a query to report the following in the row:
- Units    (reading the data from a cube)
- Gross Sales (reading the data from a cube)
- Discounts   (reading the data from a cube)
- Net sales    (a formula = Gross Sales - Discounts)
- Net sales/units (a formula = Net sales/Units)
In the column, I want to compare 2 version: Plan and Actual. Thus in the column, I have the following:
- Actual (restricted with 0VERSION=001, 0FISCPER=001.2007-012.2007)
- Plan (restricted with 0VERSION=999, 0FISCPER=001.2007-012.2007)
- Actual - Plan (a formula = Actual - Plan)
I do not get the correct result for Net Sales/Units. The reason, for as far I can analyze is because the formula in Row suppress the formula in Column.
Thus what happened:
'Description';   'Actual';           'Plan';         'A-P(should be)';      'A-P(current result)'
'Units';               200;                150;                50;                          50
'Gross Sales';    100000;            75000;             25000;                    25000
'Discount';           20000;            10000;             10000;                    10000
'Net Sales';          80000;            65000;             15000;                    15000
'Net Sales/Unit';     400;             433,33;             -33,33;                     300
                                                                                As you can see from the example above, I cannot get the correct result in the Actual - Plan column.
Do you know which formula/setting that I can use to get the correct result?
Any help/advice will be highly appreciated.
Thank you very much in advance.

Sanyoto,
Use formula collision - in the K concerned right click - select properties and then you will ind a "Formula collision" dropdown in the bottom part - select the appropriate ormula for the same there.

Problem using a conditional suppress in a cross-tab ?

is there a problem using a conditional suppress in a cross-tab on a row or summarized field in crystal XI?
I am using the following conditional suppress on a summarized field and its rows
         If {@SortCode}=4 then true;
Sortcode is a group sorting formula field
the summarized field is a formula field as well.
All of the summarized fields are suppressed although the cross- tab performs correctly on @Sortcode and the summarized field when not using the condition
it seems to me to be a reporting flow issue although i've included "whileprintingrecords" and "evaluateafter" with no success.
i have also moved the cross-tab from the report header to group header and applied a conditional suppress on the group header through section expert.
this supresses the group i dont want but includes grand totals for each group and also varys the number of columns
i can't filter on sortcode because one of the grand total calculations requires those records and a subreport or second cross-tab does not contain the same number of columns
the cross-tab is necessary as a client may have columns spanning one to many pages
thanks for your help

Hi I have a similar problem,
I have an clock in solution, where i have some dates with data such as, various entries for a date eg, 01/11/2010 1hr, 01/11/2010 3 hrs etc, 03/11/2010 2hrs , 05/11/2010 4.5hrs, 05/11/2010 4 hrs so i need total for each day and highlight only those days, where total is less than 4.5, including days which donu2019t have records eg 02/11/2010 & 04/11/2010, I summarise in totals using a cross tab, to get summarised output for each day as,
            Totals
01/11/2010    4
03/11/2010    2
05/11/2010    8.5
in order to get the dates which didnu2019t have records, i added a dataset from Excel spreadsheet where i just have a sequential dates for the year , and use record selection to select only those dates in range which i need to display, so the result i get
01/11/2010    4
02/11/2010    0
03/11/2010    2
04/11/2010    0
05/11/2010    8.5
so far so good, all using cross tab, now i want to suppress rows which have total > 4.5 so the result should be
01/11/2010    4
02/11/2010    0
03/11/2010    2
04/11/2010    0
How can i do that?

Conditional suppression using substitution variable in Hyperion financial r

Hi all,
Is there a way that I can suppress a column using substitution variable in hyperion financial reporting?
For eg, i want to suppress the column if the value of the substitution variable curr_mnth = jun.
Is there a way to do this? In conditional suprression dialog box, I dont find this option.
Please suggest.
Your response is appreciated.
Thanks,
Sirisha.

Hi Sirisha
In my earlier reply I think I may have mislead you as I thought that you could set the member name equal to that in a row/column and I've managed to get into a HFR studio session this morning and realised that the conditional suppression only allows you to suppress where member name = 'XXX' (specific text) so that doesn;t meet your requirement.
Different people will have different ways of achieving what you want and everyones requirements are different. If it helps my preferred way of conditionally suppressing periodic data (for Planning/Essbase) is to add a dynamic calc account member called 'TP-Index' into the database, set up a formula so that each period returns a numeric value from 1 to 12 to match the fiscal/calendar year as required.
Then in reporting bring the account and period dimensions into rows/columns so that you are able to retrieve data for the TP-Index account and the period as defined in your substitution variable. You can then choose how the suppression works based on a numeric value, commonly you may want to suppress if greater than, e.g. you have a multi-period report where your actual data is to June so you want to suppress everything from July onwards.
I'm sure that a similar thing could be achieved in HFM as well if that is your underlying system instead of Essbase.
Does that help?

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.

Financial reports - Conditional suppression.

Hi
Grid1 & grid2===Col's=Months
In HFReport there r 2 grids . In Grid1 Row 5 references Formulae Row Grid2.Row[10]===>> calculates division of 4 Rows of Grid2....
Grid2.Row[10] ...on this row im using Conditional suppression to suppress the cells if any of the values in 4 calculating Rows is missing......This works perfect..
But as this Grid2.Row[10] is referenced by Grid1.Row[5]..... the conditional suppression is not carried to Grid1.
Th values for the missing months is showing in Grid1.Row[5] which is wrong values as the division is based on 4 rows..
1. Can we use conditional suppression on Grid1.Row[5]..... based on grid2 Rows.
2.How can we carry the conditional suppression of Grid2.Row[10] to Grid1.Row[5]
Thanks

Data or suppression can be carried over from grid-1 to another grid-2 only when data in the grid-1 is not expanding into multiple rows/columns.
Some how you need to get the data in a single grid if that is the case.
Thanks and regards,

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

Hi...
I want to ask if I have a formula Column(REPORTS 6i),and I want in where condition using parameter to some condition as this example:
function CF_1Formula return Number is
S NUMBER(10);
begin
SELECT SUM(SAL) INTO S FROM EMP
WHERE DEPTNO IN (:DEPT);
RETURN(S);
end;
Where :DEPT is user parameter of char Datatype and it is value 10,20 and may be 10,30,40
and so on.
on runtime the sql will be:
SELECT SUM(SAL) INTO S FROM EMP
WHERE DEPTNO IN (10,20);
but this not work.So what is the correct way to deal with this sql stat.,
and :dept always have different values.
So PLS any ONE help me ASAP

Something like this will work (10g onwards)

Condition suppression in crystal reports

I need help in conditional suppression of data in a crystal report I have created. It is hard to explain so I will show you with example data that has no reference to real data.
Here is an example of non suppressed data in two columns.
Column A     Column B
****               a1
****               a2
****               a3
####             a2
!!!!                 a1
%%%%        a5
I need to be able to conditionally suppress the above example to show all records in Column B where the value in column A is the same and one row of Column be has the entry of a1. The data should look like the following after the conditional suppression.
Column A     Column B
****               a1
****               a2
****               a3
!!!!                 a1
If you compare the two examples you should be able to follow what I am after. You can see that the following entries in column A, **** and !!!! also have the entry a1 in column B. For this reason I want them returned. I also want all other values returned where this is seen. You can see that the second example of data has three records in Column B where the entry in Column A is the same and it has a1 in column B at least once.
I hope you can understand this, it was very hard to explain. Let me know if I can offer any further information.

There is a way to do this, but it's going to be a bit tricky. Assuming that both columns come from the same table, which I'll call "MyTable", here's what you'll need to do:
1. Add a second copy of "MyTable" to the report. Crystal will warn you that the table is already in the report and ask if you want to "alias" it, at which point it will be added to the report as "MyTable_1".
2. Link FROM MyTable TO MyTable_1 on ColumnA (as well as any other required fields if necessary).
3. In the Select Expert, add the following to the selection criteria:
{MyTable.ColumnA} = "a1"
4. In the report, use the ColumnA and ColumnB fields from MyTable_1.

Formula columns delay the formatting

I have my pay roll report developed in matrix format.It was working fine,but with the addition of two formula columns(which in turn call two functions defined at the database level,to derive some additional values)the formatting gets extremely delayed.I cannot perform these calculations in the query itself as it involve some computing based on certain conditions.So how can I make the report run faster?Does having many formula columns decrease the efficiency of report being run?
Thanks
Jay

Try to perform the query in your report. Include performance hints like /*+ first_rows */ or.. other, Build indexes,
Hope this help,

XI Page Header conditional suppression not exporting to editable RTF

I have a report that I don't want the page header to print on the first page (using the report header instead). It works great exporting to everything except editable RTF.
If i have a suppression condition on the page header, it doesn't print on any of the pages on the rtf. If I have no suppression, it prints on each page (including the first). Is this 'by design'? Is there a work around? Is it slated for a future enhancement? Bug Fix? I can't find any information on this situation. I'm assuming it's similar to the 'Page # of #' problem.
The customer insists on an editable RTF... as they want to edit it before sending it out to their customers!
If anyone has any ideas, knowledge, workarounds... I'd love to hear about it! Thanks!
Belinda

Here is a workaround that I just tried and it works:
1. Create a "FakeGroup" formula:
WhileReadingRecords;
2. Insert Croup by "FakeGroup" formula
3. Move it to the top grouping level
4. Go to Options in Group Expert and click Repeat Group Header On Each Page
5. Go to Section Expert and conditionally suppress Group Header 1 (onfirstrecord)
6. Move all content of your Page Header to Group Header1
7. Suppress Page Header

Conditional Suppression error in Financial Reporting

Hello all,
I'm having trouble with the conditional suppression. I have a Financial Reporting report that shows the top 10 customers. The Customer Dimension are the rows. The First column contains the Sales. So, I have a 2nd column that uses the rank function. I then use conditional suppression to suppress the rows where the value in the rank column exceeds 10. I have the Organization Dimension as a Page dimension using a prompt. If I run the report with the default prompt value ( or just select 1 different member from the prompt) , the report works perfectly. However, if I select multiple members from the prompt and run the report, only the rows on the first page get suppressed. The rows on the subsequent pages (for the other selected Organization dimension members from the prompt) do not get suppressed. Does anyone have a workaround for this problem? Please let me know.
thanks,
Vince Kelly

In the formatting section, you can define the negative formatting that is how it should be displayed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Suppressing / Collapsing crosstab columns

If you have a column in a crosstab thats entirely conditionally suppressed, is it also possible to hide/collapse the entire column?
Say for instance, I have columns 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. If 2006 is entirely blank due to some conditional suppressing, is it possible for the crosstab to appear like 2004, 2005, 2007 without the blank 2006 column in between?
Thanks in advance,
Zack H.

Zack,
You probably already know how I'm gonna reply!
Base your report on an SQL command and perform the record selection there. Since no data will get to Crystal for 2006 in your example, no column will show.
HTH,
