Hide a column in Discoverer

Hi All,
I need to hide a column in Discoverer, though I want that column to create a summary at the end.
Currently I have a report as below in discoverer.
Type Count Sales
T1 100 500
T2 200 1000
T3 300 2000
T4 NA 3000
Total 600 6500
This should be changed to,
Type Count
T1 100
T2 200
T3 300
Total Sales 6500
Note that
For T4, there was no count available earlier. So it is not appearing now.
Sales col is removed.
Total Sales is made as a new row at the end.
Is it possible?
Please advice
Thanks

I don't think it's possible.
You can create totals only for data items that are displayed as columns. Only these items can be selected for creating totals.

  • Hide a Column in Discoverer Viewer 10.2.1

    Hello Forum,
    I'm doing a little "Show & Tell" this Friday for our end users on Discoverer Viewer.... I'm not the report writer or the end user, so I'm a great guinea pig for how easy is this tool to use and intuitive is it... here is my problem - I want to customize the format, layout whatever you want to call it of a workbook, a simple task like hiding a column seems to be missing? What's the trick, how does an end user who wants to customize their view of the workbook do a simple thing like hide a column?
    thanks

    Hi Mona
    You need to master all of the intricacies of Viewer if you are going to demonstrate it effectively. Viewer is a very, very cool tool with lots of neat features which, in the right hands, is actually much more powerful than it at first appears. I find that the best way to demo it is to focus in on the positives and minimize or not even mention the negatives. Users can usually be blown away by having all of the positives explained before mentioning any of the negatives.
    Now that I have passed on some tips for presenting Viewer, something that I do all of the time, let's address your particular question. :-)
    There are two ways that I know of, and there could be more, to hide a particular column in Viewer.
    The simplest is to move the column to the far right of the report and then tell Viewer to only display n-1 columns, where n = the number of columns in the report. To do this, follow this workflow:
    1. Click the Layout link
    2. Use the Move option to move the column(s) you don't want to display to the right of the last item that you do want to display
    3. Count the number of columns that you want to display
    4. Click the Rows and Columns link
    5. In Columns type in the number of columns that you want to display
    6. Click the Go button
    This second method works for tables and crosstabs that don't use Page Items. Use this workflow:
    1. Click the Layout link
    2. Click the More link
    3. For the column(s) you want to hide, click the Up arrow alongside each one and move it to Page Items
    4. Uncheck the box called Show Page Items
    5. Click the Go button
    I hope this helps

  • Hide a column conditionally to parameter value

    Hi experts,
    I'm new to Discoverer and I'm working with Disco 10.1.2.3.
    I need to hide a column conditionally to a parameter value, and I'm turning around for time.
    I can't find how to do this.
    I have tried few things with Conditional Formatting but unsuccessfully.
    If someone could give me a clue....
    Thanks in advance
    Brice

    Thanks Rod for your answer.
    I'm really sad to know that we can't hide a column in Discoverer, which for me seems to be a basic thing for such a tool.
    A Decode could be a good idea but the fields I would like to show/hide are part of hierarchies,
    and after few try I have seen that if I applied function on a field which is part of a hierarchy,
    Disco doesn't show it as a Hierarchy (I cannot Drill).
    That's why I was searching to put my 3 hierarchies fields and then hide 2 of them conditionally to a parameter value.
    If someone have an idea ...
    Thanks again Rod,
    Brice

  • Hide Columns in Discoverer

    Does anyone know if it is possible to hide a column in a discoverer report? I had to include a data element from a folder in order to do a calculation on the data element, however, the data element itself is meaningless for the report and I want to hide it. Anyone?
    Thanks,
    CC

    Hi Fred,
    Discoverer's handling of this situation is not ideal but it is possible.
    1. Pull in the items you need in your calculation into the report (temporarily).
    2. Design your calculation.
    3. Remove the items in the calculation that you no-longer need.
    Discoverer will keep all the necessary relationships in the worksheet to support the calculation but not the data.
    In SQL terms, this is equivalent to pulling in extra tables in the FROM/WHERE clauses and yet not outputting them in the SELECT clause. The difference is that, in Discoverer, you can't mention items that are not already SELECTed. You can, however, unSELECT items that are already in the SELECT/FROM/WHERE clause without dropping them from FROM/WHERE at the same time.
    Hope that helps.
    Cheers,
    denty.

  • SSRS 2005 - Dynamically control the width of columns in Matrix report or Hide any column

    Hi All,
    I just want to hide some column without having white space in Matrix report in SSRS 2005. Although I am aware of that perhaps this feature is not available on SSRS 2005. So, I just want to know if we can handle the width of column dynamically(using expressions)
    in matrix report?
    Please help. Thanks in Advance.
    Regards
    Kumud

    Hi Kumud,
    Based on my test, SSRS is not support column dynamically width. It has property “CanGrow” of text box. If we configure the property to True, it will wraps to next line if needed. In SSRS 2008, we can hide some columns without white space. If possible, I
    recommend you update your SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2008.
    There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

  • How to show or Hide Generic Column in a regular report

    Hi All,
    I have created report based on "SQL query (pl/sql function body returning sql query). It returns columns based on some conditions. I have total 60 generic columns like (COL1,COL2....COL60) but it returns 18 or 20 columns based on my conditions, how can I hide the columns that I don't needed. My column heading is based on function return by ':' separated. My function returns number of columns also. Is there any we I can show only those columns which contains data. My report is exactly similar to the default "SQL query (pl/sql function body returning sql query). I didn't find any logic how they are doing this show and hide. I appreciate any ones help.
    Thanks,

    Hi there,
    Somehow you need to find out how many columns your dynamic select will return (by what you said it seems that your procedure returns this information). Then store that number in a hidden page item, say Pnn_COUNT.
    Then, for the 19th and 20th columns in the report add these conditions:
    Column 19: :Pnn_COUNT >= 19
    Column 20: :Pnn_COUNT >= 20
    I hope this helps.

  • How to hide Actions Column in Table

    Hi All,
    I have a simple requirement: I am showing a table (items)
    - the "Actions" column (Column with Buttons to Edit and Delete a particualr row) must not be show -> no changes to the table are allowed (I need to hide/ disable this column)
    How can I hide this column od the table?
    I have found out that the field is called thtmlb_oca and that htere is a getter method get-thtmlb_oca. However, the method does not contain coding and I do not know how to HIDE this field/ column...
    Please help me here..
    Thanks, Johannes

    Hi Johannes,
    To remove the column completely,
    you need to comment this line in the method GET_TABLE_LINE_SAMPLE of the Table View Context node class.
    TYPES: BEGIN OF line,
    *  thtmlb_oca  type  crm_thtmlb_one_click_action.
      INCLUDE TYPE xxxx.
      TYPES:  END OF line.
    Disabling can be controlled in the method GET_OCA_T_TABLE of the same class by putting code to delete the button.
    LOOP AT  rt_actions ASSIGNING <fs_actions>.
          <fs_actions>-active  = abap_false.
        ENDLOOP.

  • Hide a column in one view, but show in other

    Hi all.
    I need to hide a column on "Table" view, but column needs to show up on "Pivot table".
    I know we can hide it on pivot ( exclude It ) and show on table, but I want to know if reverse is possible.
    This is needed because I am doing a view selector for writeback. And I dont want to display all the columns on writeback table view. But it needs to be there on Pivot table.
    Please let me know if it is possible.
    Thanks.
    Vinay

    Yes we can do that.
    Check on the "Hide" in the column format tab of the column that you need to display in the table lay out.
    Now dupliate the same view and in the pivot table column intially you will not see the column displayed.
    Now in the properties check on "hidden" in the "format headings" and you wont see it still and now uncheck the"hidden" and you shoud be able to see the column displayed in the pivot view
    In this way you will have the column hidden in the table view and displayed in the pivot table.
    Hope it helps

  • Hiding Specific Columns in discoverer

    Hi all !
    Is it possible to hide specific columns for some specific users ?. I have 10 columns in the table out of which 2 columns should not be visible to specific users and other 2 columns should not be visible to some specific users in the report generated.
    Thank You ,
    Philip

    Hi Philip
    One option would be to create two versions of this report and use different connections - private or SSO - to implement this.
    The other option may be to consider VPD to implement this functionality.

  • Hide a column in one table view but show it in another

    I need to hide a column in one tables view but show it in another table view in the same report. Is this possible?
    Any help on this is appreciated.
    Edited by: VNC on Jan 11, 2010 9:26 AM

    Hi VNC,
    If you're crafty with javascript, you could probably write a script that would set the CSS property DISPLAY to NONE to hide the column in the table view you didn't want but leave it there in the view you did want.

  • Hide a column in Abap List

    Hi,
    I build a query in sq01.
    This is a statistic report, with an integer field named "AGE" which I marked to show the average too.
    I want to show the output in ABAP List (not ALV).
    The problem is that I want to show ONLY the average column (of the AGE), WITHOUT the AGE column.
    Can I hide this column in ABAP List?
    Thanks
    Itzhak.

    Hi Itzhak,
    well I don't know what you mean by hiding. Once you created a output list just with ABAP write command, there is no way to 'hide' a column. But you can add a parameter or any other criteria to the program and do the write statement for that field depending on this criteria.
    Hope this helps
    regards
