How to create a "running total" by Quarter and Month

I need a report that will display 3 columns of monthly summary data and then a total column for that quarter. I need this to repeat for an entire year. Here is what the final result should resemble:
The fields I will bring into the crystal report are:
Unit
Code
Month
Quarter
Sum (which is the summary value - let's pretend it's number of apples picked)
I can probably find a way to get SQL to spit this result out or something similar, but I had hoped Crystal would be able to slice and dice this dataset into the end result above. Would make my life easier! Thanks.

Hi Jack,
If you're using CR 2008 or higher, you can easily do this with a Crosstab.
You can add the 'Date' field in the Crosstab's column and the Unit and Code field in the Rows.
The Date field can then be set to print 'For Each Quarter'.
To show the summaries after each quarter, you can have a look at the example in this thread:
Crosstab - column subreports
and create a formula that inserts a column before a new quarter starts.
The only complicated part is the insertion of the subtotal columns after each quarter and the formula that actually calculates the subtotals.
If you think this is too complex or unmanageable, the SQL method of bringing each month (in a quarter) alongwith the totals would also be fine.

How to create a running total formula for different calendar years

Hello everyone,
I am looking for some help in creating a running total formula for different calendar years in Oracle. This is what I currently have organized in the crosstab report: vertically I have the cities from our database organized, then horizontially have the following information for each city:
2006 /2007 /2008
Amount /Amount Spent /Unspent Amount Amount Recieved/Amount Spent /Unspent Amount Amount Recieved/Amount Spent/Unspent Amount
Recieved
I am trying to create a formula that will specify each calendar year. For example, I'd like to have a formula in 2007 which would total the: 2007= {2006 unspent amount + the unspent amount in 2007} and same for 2008= {2007 unspent amount + the unspent amount in 2008}. I hope this is clear, I have simplified the report into a basic interpretation of what i've been trying to accomplish.
Would anybody know if this is possible and how to approach this?
Really appreciate it! Thanks.
Alex

Hi,
you can try and define a running total as a calculation in the crosstab as:
sum(Unspent Amount) over (partition by city order by year)
i find the crosstab format comfusing sometime since the aggregation is auto applied.
I would start with a flat table and then "duplicate is as a cross tab"
for your running total you can sort the data by the city,year and get it to 3 lines for each city, for example:
city year Unspent Amount all other amount...
X 2007 10
X 2008 20
X 2009 30
Y 2007 5
Y 2008 15
Y 2009 25
then you can use a funtion to calculate the amount :
sum(Unspent Amount) over (partition by city order by year)
this is the sql i used just to check it:
SELECT city,year,"Unspent Amount"
,SUM("Unspent Amount") over (PARTITION BY city ORDER BY YEAR)
FROM (
SELECT 'X' city, 2007 YEAR, 10 "Unspent Amount" FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'X', 2008 ,20 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'X', 2009 , 30 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'Y', 2007 , 5 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'Y', 2008 , 15 FROM dual UNION ALL
SELECT 'Y', 2009 , 25 FROM dual

Oracle Reports : How to Create Filtered Running Totals

I need to create a column in a group to represent a running total. But I want that running total to only count rows that meet specific criteria, such as [Field_Value_1] = 'Yes'. How can I accomplish this?

make a hidden (hidden) column in select like decode(Field_value_1, 'Yes', Val_to_Sum, 0) and make running total on that column ...
Hope This Helps

How to create a new bundle of service and import it as normal user.

Hi,
I have created a service.
Now am able to import and enable the service.
I have placed my xml file under
/var/svc/manifest/site
The service name is
<service
name='site/newservice'
I have imported the service as root user.
<exec_method type='method' name='start' exec='/tmp/new/method/newservice start' timeout_seconds='30' />
This service is not able to execute the operation which I have mentioned above. The following error is thrown in log file.
Error: User 'root' is not the owner of '/tmp/new/method'
So I tried to import the service as normal user, the following error is thrown.
svccfg import /var/svc/manifest/site/newservice.xml
svccfg: Could not create temporary service "TEMP/site/newservice" (permission de nied).
svccfg: Import of /var/svc/manifest/site/newservice.xml failed. Progress:
svccfg: Service "site/newservice": not reached.
svccfg: Instance "newservice": not reached.
Please help me to solve this issue.
I thought instead of placing the service in default location,Why cant we create a new service of bundle and place the service there.
Please help to solve this issue by suggesting some solution or how to create a new bundle of service and import it as normal user.
Regards,
Kalai

This service is not able to execute the operation which I have mentioned above. The following error is thrown in log file.
Error: User 'root' is not the owner of '/tmp/new/method'By default, services run as the 'root' user. It's complaining that the method isn't also root.
So I tried to import the service as normal user, the following error is thrown.You won't be able to do that easily. The user that does the import is almost always root. But wihin the manifest you could have it run as a different user.

Please help to solve this issue by suggesting some solution or how to create a new bundle of service and import it as normal user.You don't need to import this as a normal user, do you? You just want it to run as one, right?

How to create the relationship between ESSBASE 11 and DM in OBIEE11

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement that there is one property table named 'Store Master' in DW,and it contains a lot of attribute, such as Open Date, Close Date, IS 24 Hour etc.
But another data source is essbase and based on this source, I create all reports.
In ESSBASE, it has one dimension and hierarchy Location, and it has four level, Country(L1),Region (L2),Province(L3),Store(L4)
So I want to know how to create the relationship between Location (ESSBASE) and Store Master (DM).
I try to create one relationship in physical layer between Gen4,Location and Store, then drag the open date and close date into Location Dimension in BMM,then Presentation Layer.
When I drag column 'Open Date' ,'Gen4,Location ' and 'Sales' into reports, it will generate the following error message:
State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 43113] Message returned from OBIS. [nQSError: 43119] Query Failed: [nQSError: 14020] None of the fact tables are compatible with the query request Dim Region.Store Open Date. (HY000)
However, when I remove the column 'Open Date'. it will be ok.
So what I missing the steps? Please help me. Thanks.

>
'2. Now, pull the 'Store' column from relational DB onto the Gen5, Location column from Essbase. This action now creates, two logical sources for your 'Store' column.'
If the length from different data source is not same,such as 1001(DM),L_1001(ESSBASE), can I drag the 'Store' column from relational DB onto the Gen5, Location column from Essbase?
I think it does not work.Right?Hi,
I am not sure if you are talking about the length(as in varchar(128)) of the member value being different in different sources, or the member itself is different in both the sources.
I am still assuming, that you are referring to the members not same in both the sources.If it is, the whole concept of federation is based on conforming dimensions. So, it needs that the same dimension information is present in both the sources and then only, you know we can analyze the numbers based on this dimension. So, either the dimension being different in both sources, or the members not present in both the dimensions might lead to incorrect numbers.
So I select Store Attributes in relation DB and Location in ESSBASE in physical layer, then create the physical join, such as right("Hour Sales"."H_Sales".""."H_Sales"."Gen6,Location",4) = "Authorization".""."EDW"."T_EDW_MDM_STORE"."US_CODE", then drag the OPEN_DATE and CLOSE_DATE in relation DB to Location in ESSBASE in BMM,finially drag them into presentation layer.We create physical layer relationships, to send over the same relation to the underlying database during querying. So, creating a physical relationship between essbase cube and relation database would not help here.
When you set up this federation, BI Server sends individual queries to each source and maps the conforming dimension members internally.
Hope I was clear, and this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar
