How Do I - Display a group when there is no data for the group?

I have a report where I'm grouping on a numeric county number. Currently, if there are no records for that county, that report group doesn't display. My users want each county printed even if it has no data.
The numeric values for county range from 1 - 85. I'm using CR 11.5 and pulling data from a Teradata database.

Hi. I had already thought of doing an outer join on the county column of the county look up table. The problem is that this transfers the selecting and counting of the targeted data from the SQL statement to the report, specifically most of the formula fields itself. And given that the report is parameter driven, it would make maintenance of the report not so much fun. The solution ( I think, still have to code it) is to take my original inner join query and UNION it to a query selecting only the county column from the county look up table. I just add null valued columns to match the number of columns in the original query. This way I get at least one county record to satisfy the display of each group and only minimally increase the actual number of records the report has to process.

Is there a retirement date for the CS6 certification exams?

Is there a retirement date for the Adobe Photoshop CS6, Indesign CS6 & Illustrator CS6 exams? If so, when will Adobe retire these exams?(Not the recertification exams. I don't have any previous certification with Adobe.)

Looking to write the exam sometime during the next two years. Yes, I know the subjects are about a month long but will be working and can't study everyday. Most likely will only do two to three chapters a month.(my work is that hectic).
Hope they won't retire it any time soon! I know updates comes out every year. just have to take my chances.
If anybody else knows of anything please rely.

Displaying zero values when there was no data

There are two columns 'A' and 'B' in the report which has some values.IF there was no data in the report,it shows the following system message
+"No Results+
+ The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Request Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below."+
My requirement was to shows the zero values instead of this message in the table format and should show the chart at 0 axis.
Please give me your inputs and help me finding the solution
Thanks in Advance.

Because a report with no records will not produce a record "with zeroes," you have to think of another way to let the client know that the report was produced successfully, but simply with no data. We faced this issue with auditing. If no report shows, how does the auditor know that there were no data rather than the report itself not working that day? So what I did is build a "NIL Report." It is a simple report that consists of two columns. The first column is the system date column. The second column is column in which in the fx button (edit formula), I put in a text like "There are no records for this day." The first column serves two purposes: one, to timestamp the report so the user knows what day the 'NIL Report" was generated, and two, to serve as a column because OBI requires at least one column for the report to run.
I also added a footer to the report which had the name of the original report in the left pane and the run date in the right pane. The Title View also contains the name of the original report. Now when viewed, this report has all the essentials to indicate to the user that 1) the report ran successfully; 2) the title of the original report so the client knows which report is associated with the "NIL Report"; and 3) the date the report was run to timestamp the report.
So in one of the two sections, in the Section>Properties, you will use the guid. nav. feature of the section to look at the ORIGINAL report, but this section will have the "If request returns nothing" checkbox" checked off. Put the "NIL Report" in this section. When the original report produces no records, this section will display so the client knows that there were no records.
This is what I mean by a "meaningful report" -- a report that conveys the necessary information to let the user know what is going on. There is no way (that I know) where you can have the original report display "zeroes" when in fact there are no records at all.

Header Fields are not displayed when there is no data in the report

Hi,
I am having this strange situation in my webi report.
When I refresh my report and when there is no data, column names are not being displayed in my report. All it is showing is two empty rows. When I have data, then report is displaying data along with column headings.
Please suggest me where I am going wrong.
Thanks,
VenMen

Thanks for the update.
Can you try this.
Run the report first time for some data.
When the report is rendered select the table that is displayed.
On the left pane side properties tab.
Expand display and check all the options
Show rows with empty measures
show rows with empty dimensions
Show when empty
Hope this will help

Why do SQL sample programs work when there is no entry for the data sources in the ODBC Data Source Administrator that are used by the sample program?

Hi,
I am trying to understand how to access an SQL database from CVI.
I don't understand how the sample programs shipped with the toolkit can access the database they use if it is not listed in the ODBC Data Source Administrator.
In the code, I see the line:
hdbc = DBConnect ("DSN=CVI SQL Samples");
However, there is not an entry that I can find in the ODBC Administrator for "CVI SQL Samples."
The SQL help suggests there should be a User DSN named, "CVI32_Samples", but I don't see that entry in the ODBC Administrator on my win-7 system.
I believe the sample program is accessing a database file named, "C:\Users\Public\Documents\National Instruments\CVI\Samples\sql\samples.mdb".
Exactly how is the call to DBConnect() translated to the file, "samples.MDB", if there is no entry in the ODBC Administrator?
Regards,
Mark

I figured it out. There is a 32 bit ODBC administrator and a 64 bit ODBC administrator. The ODBC administrator I run through the control panel is the 64 bit ODBC administrator. To access the 32 bit administrator I need to run, "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe".
I am running the samples in 32 bit mode, so I need to use the 32 bit ODBC administrator.
Best,
Mark

How to Suprass a report layout when there is no data

Hi Community,
I have a Sql Query which Gives me the list of pre-treatments which doesn't have the corresponding post treatment
This query sometimes doesn't not return any rows
At that time is there a way that i can suprass the the whole layout from printing on the report
i am using oracle 6i Reports
Please help me out!!!!

Create a summary column (lets say "CS_TotalRecords") at report level, and set the following properties:
Function: Count
Source: column which can not be null (if report displays some data)
Reset At: Report
Create a format trigger at most outer frame (the frame you want to hide and all object within that), and write following code:
BEGIN
IF NVL(:CS_TotalRecords,0) = 0 THEN
RETURN (FALSE);
END IF;
RETURN (TRUE);
END;
Hope this helps.

How do you go to marker when there is a wait for mouse click between the markers?

I cant seem to get by the wait for mouse click, when using go to (marker)
I have a game that I have 2 push buttons one is
on mouseUp me
go to frame 9
end
on mouseUp me
go to frame 29
end
There is a wait to click in between these 2 frames and when I click on the 2nd button to go to frame 29 it stops at the wait to click?
I have tried all these below and cant get past the click to wait?????
go
go to frame
go to marker
_movie.go
_movie.marker
_nextMarker=

Think this issue is resolved but to ensure the full answer is available, here it is.
First, it's a bad idea to use the Tempo channel at all. You can use a script to do anything that you can do there. I have Lingo alternates to the Tempo channel at:
http://www.deansdirectortutorials.com/Lingo/tempoLingo.htm
(think I need to update this page though)
So - DO NOT USE the Tempo Channel setting - Wait for Mouse Click or Key Press.
The above setting creates a type of pause that interferes with other interactivity.
Instead - use a 'Hold on Frame' behavior (from the Library Palette - Navigation category) or it could be written as:
on exitFrame
go the frame
end
Once you have the above behaviour in you desired frame, you can attach a sprite behaviour to your buttons / links. A good one to use is the ‘Jump to Marker Button’ behaviour in the Controls category of the Library Palette. You can attach this behavior to different sprites and just change the marker setting of the behavior, removing the need to have individual hard-coded scripts for each button.
Next – DO NOT link to frame numbers. Always link to a marker. You may insert or remove frames. This would cause your incorrect links since the frame number would no longer the right point.
Next – the following all do the same thing:
go to frame “markername”
go to “markername”
go “markername”
So, you can leave out ‘frame’ or even ‘to’ as they are not needed. I still use ‘go to’ as it feels more natural to me (just history).
or you could use:
_movie.go("dean")
Don’t use
go to marker “markername”
I think that did work at some point but not anymore.
marker can be used as follows:
go marker (-1)
Where -1 is the amount of markers back (could be forward as well).
Well, that gives the detailed answer to your question.

How to burn a CD copy when Waveburner needs master CD for the File

Hi,
I'm using Logic 8 Waveburner. I've got a master CD - which is one long Audio file of a live set performance. I'm using Waveburner to break it up into separate songs or tracks.
No Problem - but Waveburner seems to "need" the original master CD to access or display the CD as separate tracks. I've created a wb3 file from it but that seems to be data.
I've created a DDP image file but I can't access it after I created it.
I just want to burn a new Master CD of the separate tracks I created using Waveburner and the original Master CD. But I have only one (1) Rom drive on my Mac tower.
How do I do this? Many Thanks for any help. I'm looking up the manual in the meantime.
Many Thanks, Frank B.

I'm replying to myself after reading a few posts - I'm trying 'Bounce Project' which should, I hope, copy the CD tracks to my hard drive.
And Hopefully I can burn a CD from that?

Is there a release date for the 27" imac?

Does anyone have an idea when it is being released or even a pre-order date.
My local apple store had no idea but the chap there didn't seem to interested. Just shrugged his shoulders and walked off.

Apple has stated that it will be available in December. That is all that anyone here knows.

This is for Verizon Customer Service: Is there an estimated date for the 8.1 Denim update for Windows Phones?

Will Cyan be rolled out for the Icon, or should we expect to wait until Denim is supposed to be rolled out around October
<< Moderation discussion removed to comply with Verizon Wireless Terms of Service >> This is a very specific question and Verizon Customer Service can't answer it if they don't have a chance to read the question.
I spoke with Microsoft Customer service, and the agent specifically said MS already pushed Cyan to Verizon, and he, as a WP owner on Verizon, was also frustrated that the updates haven't been rolled out by VZW.
So bottom line question: Skipping Cyan? If so, what is the Denim date?
Message was edited by: Verizon Moderator

Unfortunately the answer is unknown. The majority of the Windows phone threads here are about this exact subject, and that says a lot about Verizon and their ability to communicate on a basic level. You might get your update, you may not. Verizon is in control and doesn't really care.
