How to spilt columns dynamically in the report based on Date Parameters

Hi All,
We have an XML Publisher report in which the parameters are Fom date and To date.
User wants the data in the report to be split dynamically based on the months in the From date and To date interval.
Eg. if the From date is 01-JAN-2013 and To date is '31-MAR-2013' then the report should show 3 columns JAN,FEB and MAR and the corresponding data.
if the From date is 01-JAN-2013 and To date is '31-MAY-2013' then the report should show 5 columns JAN,FEB,MAR,APR and MAY and the corresponding data.
Can anyone please advise, how can we spilt the months and data dynamically in the report.
Regards,
Shruti

well you wanted the columns to be added dynamically. the easiest way would be to use a Pivot since the columns are based on the values in the data. and if the values of that column are Month Name/Abbreviation for that date then you will get month columns.
Have you worked with Pivots before?

Can anybody help me how do I design such report....

Hi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.

How to show the columns dynamically in OBIEE report based on the selection?

Hi,
I have a requirement where the columns should be dynamically shown in report based on what we select in propmt page.
I'm creating a report in OBIEE where i want to give an option to the end user to select the columns whichever he wants to see in the report.
For example I have the following columns in the report already:
Customer Name,
Customer Number,
Bank Account,
Address
I want to give an option to the user to select 'Customer Mail ID' dynamically and see the column to be displyed in the report along with the existing columns.
Through 'Column Selector' user can select a single column at a time, but if he want to select more than one column, how can we do this ?
Please help me out in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Chaithanya.

Hi Chaithanya,
there's not a straight solution for this. You can create different analysis containing different number of columns and then directing the user to this analysis using Action Links or you can also use View Selector to switch from one view (analysis) to the other. But it's not going to be very flexible nor dynamic.

How to select column dynamically with sharepoint list as data source in ssrs report

Hi all,
I am creating reports from SharePoint list but i have requirements to select the column name dynamically with SharePoint list as data source. I didn't find any way of doing this..
Can anyone help me to resolve this issue..
There is no way of specifying column name dynamically here in data set query

Hi MNRSPDev,
Sorry for the delay.
According to the current description, I understand that you want to specify column name in dataset query designer dynamically when using SharePoint list data source.
Based on my research, this is not supported by default. As a workaround, you can use XML data source. The XML content can be embedded directly within the query. This lets you use the expression capabilities within the processing engine to build queries and
data dynamically within the report. And it can be used for retrieving XML data directly from an external data source, passing it using parameters, and embedding it within the query.

Hope this helps.

Report painter-want to hide period columns dynamically if the period is not closed

Hi All,
I have made report with 12 columns like JAN, FEB till DEC in report painter (GRR1)
Requirement is that if say, currently only period no.4(APR) is closed and we are in period no.5( MAY) or system date is in MAY, then the report should not show the data for the current period no.5(MAY), eventhough data is there. Or else it should show data for JAN to APR (closed periods)
For this I defined 12 different period formula variables in GS11, based on system paramters like
S008 Year (from Local System Date)
S002 Month (from Local System Date)
S003 Day of Month (from Local System Date)
S012 Current Period in Current Year (per CO Fiscal Yea
But the issue is that eventhough the variable is defined as formula variables, still the default values are given by system and default value only getting passed to the report and thus data is displayed for the unclosed period.
But SAP help says that formula variables are without default values unlike the value type variable.
Any help in this will be highly appreciated.

Hi All,
I have cracked it and got the solution with redefining the formula variables.

You cannot add columns dynamically. But you can define a maximum number of numbers and then hide unused columns in your form useing SET_ITEM_PROPERTY(..,VISIBLE, PROPERTY_FALSE);

How to schedule the webi report based on data changes in the report data

Hello,
I want to schedule a webi report based on data change in a column in the report.
The scenario is something like below:

I know how to apply alerts or schedule a report or data tracking for capturing changes in the report but I dont know how to schedule the report only for data changes.
Anybody done this before.

Displaying the Row and Column number in the report

I am trying to show row and column number in the report (not just web preview). I am using Hyperion Reports Version 7.2.5.168

use a formula column/row. use RANK function in that. (e.g. Rank([A], asc) will sort the rows based on column A values in ascending order)
you can use this rank in your heading.
But frankly this is not so easy. You have to do it in a very intelligent way, so that rank gives you column number/row number any how.
Have a try and let see if you find a appropriate solution.

How to suppress the report based on outer dimension in nested report

Hi Experts,
We have a report with nesting of two dimensions in rows. They are Program dimension and Account Dimension.
We need to supress the report based on the program dimension members. i.e whenever there are no values against all the accounts for a particular program that particular program should get supressed.
In the screenshot attached I am looking to supress the rows 37,38 and 39 as the data against this program is empty.
However I dont want to supress the rows 31 and 33 as there is a capital data against this program in row number 32. So we have to supress the rows based on absence of data at program level.
We are using SP14 on BPC 10.
I remember that such functionality could be acheived in BPC 7.5 by flagging the required dimension to have suppress in Expansion Range. So I guess, similar functionality would be there in BPC 10 as well.
I have evaluated the option of VBA macro to hide the required rows, but was wondering if we can achieve the same using EPM functionality as we used to do in BPC7.5.
Thanks in advance for your suggestions!!
Regards,
Shiva

Hi Shiva,
First you have to check the option Keep Blocks:
This option will show the whole block even if only one line contain some not zero/empty cells in the row.
Second, when you select option Filter on All Columns/Rows you have to select OR as operator between columns:
In this case the test for >0 (or for <0) will be applied to each column and the result will be OR'ed with other columns. True will be even if one column contains not zero and not empty cell.
You logic to check individual column require to hardcode the members - not good!
Vadim
P.S. If you select AND for Filter on All Columns/Rows - then only lines with all cells with non zero / non empty will be shown as in your example!

How to make reports based on Data block work on web?

I am using form 6i and oracle 9ias
I have successfully call the common reports from the form on the web using run_report_object, then web.show_documnet(..);
But when it come to the reports based on the data block from the form, it doesn't work. it always fetch all the records from the table which the data block is based
Anyone can tell me how to make that work?
thanks

I have successfully do this when I am running forms and >reports in localhostTell me how did you achieve this?
Did you have both Reports and Forms running under same oracle home?
and off course was it a clinet server architecture?
What version for Form and Reports did you use?
Which executables did you use and what was your call from forms? When you call from Forms, which Reports executable use to run the report?
The data integration can only be achive if both the product were running under same Oracle home and were in client server architecture. I do not think data integration is possible in web architecture.
Thanks
