How To Control the Langauge of BI Reports (Using Excel 2013, oData, and Project Server Online 2013)

Although I buried and posted the following question indirectly in a recent post, I would like to do so here to try and elevate it in the hope that I can get an answer.
It is in regards to creating reports using Excel 2103 to querry Project Server 2013 Online using oData.  I would like to be able to control the langauge of my reports that I create for others to view.
Just creating and then saving the Report and Data Connections in a language directory does not seem to drive or determine the language of the report.  A colleague of mine over here is using the same directories as I am, and his turn
out to be French like his environment.  Mine, even though I save the files in same the French directories, display in English. 
Any ideas on how I can create reports so that they display in another language, eg., French when using Excel to create reports?  I know that we can set the language in an internet browser to control the language that the result is returned, for instance,
when querying https://.../pwa/_api/ProjectData/$metadata

Correction!  Thanks to Doug Welsby of Microsoft and some our other MS friends who worked behind the scenes to correct/ assist me on this, I got the right answer after all... the difference between, example a French oData command/ statement,
and an English one is the inclusion of the square brackets with the language abbreviation/ code e.g., "[Fr..]" in the oData connection string/ statement.  For further reference, see the connection files provided by Microsoft in the Reports and
compare the syntax for the same report/ different language.  There is where you will see what and how Excel is able to differentiate/ control what language that the report result will return.

  • How to determine the database driver a report uses?

    Hello experts.  I'm using Crystal Report XI R2 and C# (.net 4.0 runtime).
    For a given report, I'd like programmatically determine what database driver(s) a report and it's sub-reports use.  The nice thing is that I don't want to change it.
    When I refer to database drivers I'm talking about the choices one gets when starting a new report in the Crystal UI.  Something like the following:
    Access/Excel (DAO)
    ADO.NET (XML)
    Database Files
    ODBC (RDO)
    OLE DB (ADO)
    I've looked into the developers help file that came with Crystal XI R2, crsdk_net_doc.chm, and can't find any references that would help.  Maybe it's what I'm searching on.
    My goal is for a given directory produce a list of rpt files that use OLE DB and a MS-SQL Server provider.
    Thanks for looking at my question, any assistance is appreciated.
    Mike

    Also note since you are using 4.0 framework you must also be using VS 2010.
    CR for VS 2010 is the only version supported with 4.0 framework.
    See this page to download it: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/crystalreports-dotnet
    Or go back to VS 2008.
    Code would look something like this:
         public class frmMain : System.Windows.Forms.Form
            CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument rpt = new CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportDocument();
            CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.ClientDoc.ISCDReportClientDocument rptClientDoc;
    New subrepoutine...
                ISCDReportClientDocument rcd;
                rcd = rptClientDoc;
                CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo oldConninfo;
                CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo newConnInfo = new CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.ConnectionInfo();
                CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table oldTbl;
                CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.CommandTable newTbl = new CommandTable();
                oldTbl = (CrystalDecisions.ReportAppServer.DataDefModel.Table)rcd.Database.Tables[0];
                oldConninfo = oldTbl.ConnectionInfo.Clone(true);

  • How to control the order of transforms when using interpolators?

    We want to spin one cube around another, instead of having two cubes spinning side by side. The latter is the effect we get, no matter the order of the transforms in the tree.
    We can not use normal matrix multiplications since we are using a RotationInterpolator in combination with a static translation transform.
    We have tried using OrderedGroup but this did not make any difference either. Where is this supposed to be used in order to make a difference?
    How are we supposed to do? Any help much appreciated.
    Thanks

    SphereMotion example that a give with java3D that spin
    one sphere around another
    you should look at thisThanks. What exactly are we looking for, are they using the PositionInterpolator to make the translation survive during the animation?
    Is this what we need to do, or is there any way of making a normal transform survive?
    Our semi-educated-guess is that the RotationInterpolator we use to rotate our cubes operates on the compiled transform, therefore overwriting the translation we do at the beginning (this can be seen in the very beginning, as the 2nd cube is first in it's own position, and then in the next frame it returns to 0,0 (origo)).
    Are we right? Or is there a simpler explanation and solution to this?
    Many thanks

  • How could control the scroll events in ALV OO?

    Hello experts!
    I'm programing a report, inside there is a field that need time of processing. I'm using ALV OO.
    I have thought that it could only calculate the field for the lines that visualize.
    How could control the scroll events to calculate the field of the visualized lines?
    I'm using CL_SALV_TABLE class and cl_salv_events_table to control the events, but there aren't any event to control the scroll.
    best regards!

    Hi Sriram,
    I did view the information that you was attaching, but this don't resolve my problem. With methods get_scroll_info_via_id and set_scroll_info_via_id, we can get and put information of selection and view rows in the screen but we don't control when the user click in the scroll for advance or to back down a page.
    I would like to refresh the data in ALV when the user view news rows.
    I want your genial ideas.
    Best regards!

  • How to center the content in crystal report viewer?

    open crystal report viewer in winform, default at the left top

    another odd thing is that i set window winform size 1208*1024 and crystal report view is fill

    How to center the content in crystal report viewer in code?
    Edited by: Mathew_666 on Oct 6, 2011 5:20 AM

    Since there is no control for center you'll need to do the math on your own. This is just a rough draft, but you'll get the idea.
    One of the things you'll need to figure out is your buffer to help you give a centered feel. We'll say that value is 50 in this case.
    Height
    int buffer = 50;
    int formHeight = 1000; // we'll assume a height of 1000 in this case
    int crystalTop = buffer;
    int crystalViewerHeight = formHeight - (buffer * 2); // buffer is at the top and bottom
    Width
    int formWidth = 1000; // we'll assume a width of 1000 in this case
    int crystalLeft = buffer;
    int crystalViewerWidth = formWidth - (buffer * 2); // buffer is at the top and bottom

    Good idea. I've already used the feedback for my general suggestions to improve the way Apple handles bug reports (and tried sending it to Steve Jobs too), but I'll send a specific suggestion for a bug app on the iPhone.
    However, my question is whether there is a simple way to send bug reports from the iPhone now that I have overlooked.

    i'm assuming this is the new 3tb tc AC or 'tower' shape, if so, its wifi will run circles around your at&t device
    unplug the at&t box for a minute and plug it back in
    factory reset your tc - unplug it, hold down reset and keep holding while you plug it back in - only release reset when amber light flashes in 10-20s
    connect the tc to your at&t box via eth in the wan port, wait 1 minute, open airport utility look in 'other wifi devices' to setup the tc
    create a new wifi network (give it a different name than your at&t one) and put the tc in bridge mode (it may do this automatically for you, but you should double check) under the 'network' tab
    login to your at&t router and disable wifi on it
    add new clients to the new wifi network, and point your Macs to the time machine for backups

  • How to save the data of ABAP report into a notepad in desktop location???

    HI all,
    Can any one tell me how to transfer the data of ABAP report into a Notepad.
    Actually I have to schedule a ABAP report in background on daily basis and I want to transfer the
    whole record into Notepad.
    If any program is available for this..please clearify the relevent code for transferring.
    Thanks
    Rajeev

    declare a character type internal table.
    now move your data from it_data ( internal table with data ) into table itab.
    since you are running this report in background, you cannot save it to the desktop. Instead give any app server location
    data: itab(400) occurs 0 with header line.
    field-symbols: <fs1> type any.
    data: gv_file type rlgrap-filename default 'TEST.TXT'.
    data: gv_filepath type rlgrap-filename default <path>.
    LOOP AT it_data.
        DO 100 TIMES.
          ASSIGN COMPONENT sy-index OF STRUCTURE it_data TO <fs1>.
          IF sy-subrc = 0.
            CONCATENATE itab <fs1> INTO itab SEPARATED BY ' '.
          ELSE.
            EXIT.
          ENDIF.
        ENDDO.
        SHIFT itab LEFT DELETING LEADING ' '.
        APPEND itab.
        CLEAR itab.
      ENDLOOP.
      concatenate gv_filepath '/' gv_file into gv_file.
      OPEN DATASET gv_file FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING DEFAULT.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.

  • How to get the value from another report Customizes Form

    Dear all,
    I create a report such as
    select * from mytable.table1
    where field1 = :bind_variable
    I create a menu to run this Customized Form and user have to select the bind_variable values. So I have another report created which also want this bind_variable as it WHERE Clause. But I don't want my user to key the same bind variable twice. They can just same the Customized Form and run for both report.
    Could anybody know how to get the bind_variable on 1st report and used by the 2nd report.
    Thank you very much.

  • How to find the list of Queries/Reports which are using Exceptional Aggregation in SAP BI?

    Hi All,
    We are interested to know how to find the list of Queries/ Reports which are using Exceptional aggregation in SAP BI.
    Please let us know is there any table's to check the list of reports using Exceptional Aggregation in SAP BI.

    Hi,
    Here you go..
    1) Go to table RSZCALC and get list of ELTUID where AGGREXC is not INITIAL and AGGRCHA is not initial; now you get only exception aggregation set based on some chars. Also you can further add STEPNR = 1 since your intention is just to get query name , not the calculation details; this will reduce number of entries to lookup and save DB time for next steps.
    Here you will get list of exception aggregation UUID numbers from which you can get properties from RSZELTDIR.
    2) Pass list of RSZCALC-ELTUID to table RSZELTXREF - TELTUID and get list of RSZELTXREF -SELTUID - this table stores query to it's elements maping kind.
    3) Now again pass RSZELTXREF - SELTUID into same table but into different field RSZELTZREF - TELTUID and get RSZELTXREF - SELTUID
    This step you get query reference sheet or column or query general UUID for next step.
    4) Pass list of RSZELTXREF - SELTUID into RSZELTDIR - ELTUID with DEFTP as 'REP'. Now you get list of query names in RSZELTDIR - MAPNAME and description in TXTLG.
    Note: you can also get the reference chars used for exception aggregation from RSZCALC - AGGRCHA field.
    Hope this helps.
    Please keep in mind, it might take more time depends on how many query elements you have in the system...

  • How to diable the default option of report-based total (when applicable)

    Hi,
    Anybody know how to diable the default option of report-based total (when applicable)?
    By default this aggregation rule option is checked.
    There should be some configuration tag in instanceconfig.xml or somewhere else, such as <ReportAggregateEnabled>true</ReportAggregateEnabled>?
    Regards,
    Tina

    you can change this from admin tool,
    open admin tool,
    business model and mapping
    find your column in the model
    double click your column, click on aggregation, >> default rule >> none.
    but if you do this, you cant make any sum operation.
