Group Name Formula

I have a Hierarchial table with ID,ParentID and CategoryName
My report is grouped by ParentID, however I want change the Group Name to be the CategoryName where ID = ParentID. Not having much luck as I am very new to CR.
Thanks

X axis labels for custom group names

I have a report with one group. That group has a customized group name field, and the group name is a formula. When I display the group name in the data section of the report, it displays according to the formula.
I now need to chart two pieces of data - Primary # of Sales and Secondary # of Sales - for that group so I can compare the two # of sales. If I make a chart for the Primary # of Sales, and go to the group tab in the Chart Expert and specify "on change of Group By Value (my grouping), show the sum of the Primary # of Sales", the chart displays as desired, and I see the custom group name (formula) as the X axis label.
But if I go to the Advanced Layout on the Data tab of the Chart expert and specify the Sum of Primary # of Sales AND Sum of Secondary # of Sales in the Show Values section, the X axis label no longer shows the custom group name; it shows the group value.
Any ideas for how to get it to show the custom group name when I chart two fields of data?
Thanks in advance!

Display "group name" values and their average formulas (calculation of average age) on a single line or row

I have four groupings, Domain, Area, Priority (3rd level of grrouoping) and then Problem ID. Priority group could have values such as '1', '2', '3', '4' and '5' with corresponding "average" age formula on these group level. values.Example: 1 Avg Age= 30 2 Avg Age= 45 3 Avg Age= 69Reguirement: Display group name values and their corresponding average formula on a single line/row.Sample Solution: Priority 1 = 30, Priority 2 = 45, Priority 3 = 69 ***solution above should be displayed/concatenated on one line.Your help is greatly appreciated, thank you in advance.

So right now - your report looks like this
GroupHeader 1
 GroupHeader 2
 Priority 1 = 50 (actual display of Group 3)
 Priority 2 = 75 (actual display of Group 3)
 Priority 3 = 45 (actual display of Group 3)
 Priority 4 = 9 (actual display of Group 3)
 Priority 5 = 8 (actual display of Group 3)
And you want to change that so that it displays horizontally.
If there will only ever be 5 priorities, I think I would cheat the system a bit. Create a formula that runs at the group 3 level and dumps the values into 5 separate variables (formula below).
Then create 5 separate display formulas and put them in Group Footer 2 (if you already have a GF2 - then create a second one and move it above your current GF2). Suppress the G3 section and you should be close to what you are after (unless you also have detail sections, then we'll need to revisit).
This could also be accomplished with a multi-column subreport at the G2 or G3 level if you need more flexibility.
formula *******
numbervar priority1;
numbervar priority2;
numbervar priority3;
numbervar priority4;
numbervar priority5;
if {DB.Priority} = 1 then priority1:= {@avgGroupPriorityAvgAge}
else if {DB.Priority} = 2 then priority2:= {@avgGroupPriorityAvgAge}
else if {DB.Priority} = 3 then priority3:= {@avgGroupPriorityAvgAge}
else if {DB.Priority} = 4 then priority4:= {@avgGroupPriorityAvgAge}
else if {DB.Priority} = 5 then priority5:= {@avgGroupPriorityAvgAge}

Building a template - groups and formulas

CR2008
I'm trying to build a template to standardize some reports. I can get the header and the formatting fine: however, when I created a formula for Page M of N, the formula disappeared, and the field was replaced with one of the header fields. Does this just not ever work, or am I missing something?
The documentation says "If an existing report is used as a template, these report objects will be applied to the new report: Fields, Groups, Summary fields". However, when I tried to save a grouping and apply it to an existing report, nothing happened - only the formatting came across.
Thanks for any and all help!
Edit: I added a TemplateField to my template and grouped on it, and applied it -- didn't work. However, when I then added grouping to the report, and re-applied the template, the new groups picked up the formatting from last time. When I added more groups than there were in the template, the newest groups were formatted the same as the last group I had specified. The Custom Group Name, which I had specified to be TemplateField2, (the same as the second grouping) still wasn't picked up, though. When I only specified a single TemplateField in the detail line, the Template Expert split the detail section into seven stacked detail sections, so that won't be much use.
So, the other question remains: am I completely out of luck with formulas? And functions, for that matter? Thanks again!
Edit again: I tried adding a Summary field to the template. While combining a text field and a summary field didn't work, dropping them next to each other did. Also, it only worked for the same summary: when I accidentally did a Sum instead of a DistinctCount, as the template was expecting, the formatting was ignored.

Hello Rashmi,
I'm not sure if I understood your question, but it seems you have to put your key figures in columns, together with time, if, for example, you want to show information like this:
.........................................................                                                                           06.2008      07.2008 ...
..........................................................                                                 kf1 kf2....      kf1 kf2

Please let me know if is this you are looking for.

How to find the group name for a section programatically?

I have these display formulas that are being repeated in each group footer. The only thing that changes are the group names.
How can I find the group name for the current section?
The bolded(or starred) items are what I'm trying to create a generic function for.
Ontario
     Bob
               1000     Sales     Other
               2000     Random     Billing
               200     Phone     Billing
     *Total for Bob*      3200
     Sally
               2000     Sales     Client
               1000     Random     Billing
                300     Cell     Billing
     *Total for Sally* 3300
*Total for Ontario*       6500
Thanks in advance,

I'm not sure if the GroupingLevel or GroupNumber fuctions will help. (There description in the on-line help leaves much to be desired, IMHO...)
If not, you could try adding formula fields to each level that sets a global variable to tell your other formula fields what level it is on. If you only have one or two other formulas, and only one or two groups, this really wouldn't be a whole lot easier. But if you had a lot of groups or a lot of formula fields that you want to make "group independent" it could help.
So for each footer, create a formula field like (basic syntax):
WhilePrintingRecords
global geoupLevel as String
groupLevel = "Province"
formula = ""
(changing the name given to groupLevel for each footer). Then in your "generic" formula you could put something like:
WhilePrintingRecords
global groupLevel as string
select case groupLevel
case "Province"
    formula = "Total for " + {Province}
case "Name"
    formula = "Total for " + {Name}
else
    Formula = "Totals"
end select

Problem Using Inner Group Name

Hi
In my report design, I have 4 groups level created and all of them are based on Account number. Its like group and subgroup structure.
All I wanted to do is , I want to supress the Footer of Inner most group(group 4) based on the group name.
for example if the group4 name ="something" I need to supress group 4 footer section.
I tried to put the above condition in Supress formula of group4 footer section. its not working.
On the formula editor I choose the group4 name field avaiable under Report fields. Its comes as
GroupName ({@Account Number}) in to the formula ( There is not mention of which group name its refers to).
So by default its apply the formula on the outter most group name(group 1). So my condition fails.
Please help me.

This my structure
Group Header1                                                           Group 1 Name
    Group Header2                                                        Group 2 Name
       Group Header3                                                     Group 3 Name
           Group Header4
                         Details                  AccoutNumber    Account Description       Amount

       Group Footer3
    Group Footer2
Group Footer1
I want to supress the Group Footer4 based on Group4 name.

Not able to get group name by using memberof class, getting Total groups as 0 even I am member of that group.

Not able to get group name by using memberof class, getting Total groups as 0 even I am member of that group. Through this memberof class I am trying to find full qualified name(DN) of my group.
code I have used:
//specify the LDAP search filter
               String searchFilter = "(&(objectClass=user)(CN=Username))";
               //Specify the Base for the search

My problem is:
1) I can't manage security roles and site settings with report maanger. when I try assign roles to new user or group I get followng error:
"The user or group name 'BUILTIN\Administrators' is not recognized. (rsUnknownUserName) Get Online Help"
when i try to execute reports in report manager, parameters controls are not displayed correctly (very simple text boxes) and I can see:
The selected report is not ready for viewing. The report is still being rendered or a report snapshot is not available. (rsReportNotReady)
and I can't see my report in browser (IE 6.0) but only export to PDF, Excel...

Hi Wojtek
I just wanted to know if you found a solution for part (1). I just recently encountered the problem where:
"when i try to execute reports in report manager, parameters controls are not displayed correctly (very simple text boxes) and I can see:
The selected report is not ready for viewing. The report is still being rendered or a report snapshot is not available. (rsReportNotReady) "
However all my reports are run from the most recent data. The rsReportNotReady message appears in Report Manager but not the Report Server interface; the latter is able to render the reports. But both have incorrectly displayed textbox inputs.

How can we retrieve the Group name from oid?

Hi:
In following request object, we can get all the user related information from oid except group name where a particular user belongs to.
For instance user id, first name, last name and email etc but we could not get the group name.
PortletRenderRequest pReq = (PortletRenderRequest)
request.getAttribute(HttpCommonConstants.PORTLET_RENDER_REQUEST);
pReq.getUser()……
Please advice, how I we get the hold of group name from orcldefaultprofilegroup (oid)?
I would really appreciate your reply.
Thank you.

I am not sure about the PDK API to get the group name. But using LDAP API its easy to get the User Group.
If you find the answer to get the group name using PDK API, Please update in forum. It will really help others.

Can we have a group name in oracle database???

Hello,
what i want to know is that can we have a group name, a set of all usernames for a database,
the whole purpose is to simplify the grant statement, rather then doing this
grant select to <user1>
 grant select to <user2>
 grant select to <user3>
 it would be simple to do
 grant select to <group1>
 where group1 consists of user1,user2 and user3...

When I enter a group name into the Bcc field and try to send the message, I get "[group name] is not a valid e-mail address..."

Been using the same template to send a weekly newsletter for a year or two but now with a recent update to Thunderbird the group name is rejected when I try to send the message:
With a group name in Bcc field, when I press "Send" and try to send the message, I get this alert: "[group name] is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail."

This has been reported as [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1060901 Bug #1060901]. If you have an account on Bugzilla, please consider voting for that issue.
Several other people have sent in the same support request as you, noting this happened after they upgraded to version 31.1.
The exact error message is: XXXX is not a valid e-mail address because it is not of the form user@host. You must correct it before sending the e-mail.
'''This happens in Thunderbird 31.1.0 when your mailing list description includes several words separated by spaces.'''
Although not ideal, these workarounds should let you use your mailing lists until a proper fix is implemented:
* While composing an email open the address book and select the list you are trying to send to, highlight all the names in the list and drag them to the To: box. This uses your existing data without modifying it.
* Replacing the blanks " " between the words in such lists' descriptions with an underscore "_". This requires modifying your mailing list(s) description(s).
* Downgrade to a previous version and disable automatic updates (Windows)

Setting the Link Group Name in Deep Link based on the value of a column

Using Jdeveloper 11g, Jheadstart 11g
Is it possible to override the link group name in deep linking. For example can I conditionally set that field based on the value of the item.
Regards

Thanks for the suggestion.
Here is what I am trying to do:
I have a table with one visible column that has the following entries:
1. Create
2. Modify
3. Verify
4. Approve
5. View
If the user clicks on row 1 (Create) then the link group name should be "CreateEmployees" to create new employees
If the user clicks on row 3 (Verify) then the link group name should be "MaintainEmployees" for verification and so on.
(This is role based and each role will have access to one or more of the rows in the tabler)
It basically mimics a work-flow type of scenario.
I tried to modify the template and looked at the line:
action="$JHS.facesConfigGenerator.addItemGroupLinkTaskFlowCall((${JHS.Current.item})}" but got stuck there.
Is there a way to change "JSH.current.item" in the template to read the group link name from another column say by using #if statements.
One way I also tried was to introduce a column for each action such as CreateAction, VerifyAction etc which kind of agrees with your suggestion but the drawback is the need to modify the table if another task is required.
Regards

How to change Group-name of custom step-type?

Hello,
i´m using TS4.1 and miss a input-parameter which was avaiulable in TS3.5.
I have some labview-vis which should be TS-teststeps and they all shoul be placed in a group.
Do do this i open the "Types" and select one of my created types. The i rightclick the step and select properties.
In the tab "Menu" i can set a name for the step BUT the parameter to set the Group is no more available?
This was also in the Tab Menu in TS 3.5 but now in TS4.1 there is only Item-name.
Where can i set the Group-name od my steps?
Thx

Hi!
Now you can go in the Insertion Palette in TS 4.1 (the Step Palette on the left side) and right click on Customize... (see attachement)
There you have the menu where you can change the group for all steps in the palette.
So now you have the possibility to change, create and move groups inside your palette.
Best regards
Ken
