How to un-group columns on my the report and how to add an export to PDF

Hello OBIEE developers...
So, I have this report with about 7 columns, I just submitted to my boss he came back saying "Don’t group the columns, the users typically want to see data on each row".... I am not quite sure what in the world he is talkign about, do I need to report each separate or if separate how do start that? I am sorry I am new to this area, some of my questions might be senseless..
Also, on the same dashboard I am required to add an option where users can export the dashboard to PDF, how do I go about that?
please help

Sri,
Right, may be that's what I should have said: once you've opened the dashboard then I need to export it as a dashboard. How do I that? There is a way, my predecessor was able to do it. I have a report with a print as a pdf on the dashboard with pdf icon on it (its a separate dashboard from the report) and you are able to print it as the pdf doc. I just can't figure out how he was able to do this,
Any idea?

    if input selection is Normal and RDO then only 2 columns w'd be created and the other 2 fixed columns.
    Can anybody help me how do I design such report....
    Thanks

    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.
    Any question, please feel free to let me know.

  • Column Headings in the report and adding an extra field to the report

    Hi All.
    I had an issue like i need to put column headings for a report and I want to add an extra field to the report.
    The problem here is that the report was actually cloned from a Query.At the time of cloning,they forgot to add the column headings.
    Now we need to add the column headings for the same.How can we proceed for this and where we need to add our code?
    How to add an extra field  to the existing report?
    Any pointers will be very much helpful.
    Regards,
    SSR.

    Hi,
    you can get this done in 2 ways:
    1 - Change the query to add another column and the re-generate the report
    2 - If changing query is not possible, you can change the report it self for adding extra field. If you look at the code, it will be more like normal ABAP code. you can easily modify it (If you are ABAPer) for your additional requirements.
    thnx,
    ags.

  • How To Capture A Column Value In A Report And Store It In A Variable?

    Portal Version: 3.0.6.6.5
    RDBMS Versjion: 8.1.7.0.0
    OS/Vers. Where Portal is Installed:: SunOS 5.8
    I have a Portal report where I added a checkbox for each row of data that is being displayed. The user can select checkbox for as many rows as he/she wants. The user can then click a button, which iteratively passes the value of a column as a parameter to a procedure.
    I am using the Portal field that ends with a ".FIELD#>" For example, if my report is based on the following SQL statement:
    SELECT EMP_UNID FROM EMPLOYEES WHERE STATUS = 'E'
    Then the field I am using to capture the value is <#EMP_UNID.FIELD#>
    So the <INPUT> looks like:
    <TD>
    <INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="checkboxSelect" value="<#EMP_UNID.FIELD#>">
    </TD>
    And the Javascript code looks like:
    htp.p('<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1">');
    htp.p('<!--');
    htp.p('function runAccept() {');
    htp.p('for (var i=0; i<20; i++)');
    htp.p('if (document.formSelect.checkboxSelect.checked == true)');
    htp.p('{');
    htp.p('myRegExp = /"/gi;');
    htp.p('parameter = document.formSelect.checkboxSelect[i].value.replace(myRegExp, "z");');
    htp.p('parameter = parameter.substring(parameter,parameter.indexOf(">")+1,parameter.lastIndexOf("<")-1)');
    htp.p('alert(parameter);');
    -- htp.p('CallableStatement cstmt = null;');
    -- htp.p('cstmt = conn.prepareCall("{call --runAcceptRecord(parameter)}")');
    -- htp.p('cstmt.execute ();');
    htp.p('}');
    htp.p('}');
    htp.p('//-->');
    htp.p('</SCRIPT>');
    The problem, however, is that Portal stores not only the actual value in <#EMP_UNID.FIELD#>, but also some HTML tags, most of which can be removed via the Display Options page. There are some tags that cannot be removed in this fashion, because Portal does not allow nulls in those. So we are stuck with an HTML tag (i.e. <FONT SIZE>) that is stuffed in that variable along with the value. The problem is further complicated by the existence of double quotes within that tag that undesirably terminates the VALUE assignment.
    So for instance, what you might get from Portal is this:
    <TD><INPUT TYPE="checkbox" NAME="checkboxSelect" value="<FONT SIZE="+0">219</FONT>"> </TD><TD ALIGN="RIGHT"><FONT SIZE="+0">219</FONT></TD>
    <TD ALIGN="LEFT"><FONT SIZE="+0">E</FONT></TD>
    It is in the value="<FONT SIZE="+0">219</FONT>" part of the code where the extra double quote is terminating the Javascript code. I have tried escape() and replace() to remove the extra double quotes, but have not got it to work. The problem is happening too early at this point, and what I have tried is after the fact.
    Obviously, the problem is that I shouldn't be using <#EMP_UNID.FIELD#> since the intent of this is to add html tags for display purposes. That is done by Portal, and I thus have no control over it unless I take drastic means and modify Portal's innerworkings, which I don't care to do.
    My question therefore is, what other variable can I use in Reports to capture just the value? I am hoping that there is a variable in Reports like the ones for Forms which has a prefix of A_. Or is there another method for doing this?
    Thanks in advance
    Fred

    I found htf.formcheckbox function which was what I needed. With that, my javascript code was cut down to just a few lines. Didn't need to strip away the html tags. This function will just return the value.
    Refer to:
    http://metalink.oracle.com/metalink/plsql/ml2_documents.showDocument?p_database_id=NOT&p_id=116534.1 for specific example of this function.

  • How to do Grouping columns in XL-Report (Report Composer)

    hi Guys,
    Can anyone explain regarding the Issue of "Grouping the Columns in XL-Report" how to do this? ie especially in Report Composer how to do Grouping in this XL-Report
    can any one explain briefly without  giving any URL's. Can any suggest r views abut this issue.Can any one help regarding this issue asap?

    Hi there
    Highlight the column on which you want to group. In the Advanced report builder (The window to the left of the spreadsheet) click on column summary (the icon with the + and what looks like a gate). Now you can put in the criteria for the grouping in that window.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to call the column names into the prompt and display values dynamically

    Hi,
    i have a typical requirement where I have to call 3 columns into the AGE Prompt (I know we can use the Column Selector to call the columns) .Below is the Screen Shot.
    !http://i46.tinypic.com/2qjfukh.jpg!
    2nd Requirement)
    The three columns I have are order Date, Ship Date and Entry Date.
    Whenever I click on Orderdate from the Prompt, It should dynamically show its values in the report.
    and When I click on the Ship Date from the Prompt, it should display the corresponding values in the report.
    and so on with the Entry Date.
    Can anybody help me how to acheive this.
    Thanks a ton.

    Ok so then you can use a fake column prompt. Here's one quick approach (nicer and cleaner with LOV tables but I don't if you have any of those).
    - Create a fresh prompt using any column you want.
    - Open the column formula using the fx button and replace the formula with 'abc'.
    - Use "SqL Results" as the "Show" option.
    - SQL:
    select case when 1=0 the Markets.Region else 'Order Date' from Paint.Markets UNION ALL
    select case when 1=0 the Markets.Region else 'Ship Date' from Paint.Markets UNION ALL
    select case when 1=0 the Markets.Region else 'Entry Date' from Paint.Markets
    - Set Variable = Presentation Variable = @{vPresVarSelectedDate}{Order Date}
    - Label = Date
    Then in the request, you change the column formula for the date. I'm going to make it short and just assume you called your time dimension alias(es) like the lowest grain:
    "@{vPresVarSelectedDate}{Order Date}"."@{vPresVarSelectedDate}{Order Date}"
    Cheers,

  • 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 apply unique currency values in the report?

    Hi Guys,
    I have a report showing that different currency values.I would like to have same currency values throught out the report.And one moew query i am also getting the zero's in the report so how i can supress zeros in the report?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    For unique currency, go to RSCUR, give the currency translation type and click Display.
    You will enter into Edit currency conversion type screen.
    Go to currency tab screen and select the source currency from data record as you are getting multiple currencies, and in target currency select appropriate option as per your requirement.
    Save it and come back to query designer, go to properties of that KF, you have a conversions tab. there select the conversion type and target currency.
    And regarding suppressing zeros, goto properties of the query, click on Rows/ columns tab.  Under this you will find the option to supress zeros and effect on rows and columns.
    Hope this will help you.

    hello, it sounds like the library is damaged.
    Download iPhoto Library Manager and use its rebuild function. This will create a new library based on data in the albumdata.xml file. Not everything will be brought over - no slideshows, books or calendars, for instance - but it should get all your albums and keywords back.
    Because this process creates an entirely new library and leaves your old one untouched, it is non-destructive, and if you're not happy with the results you can simply return to your old one.

    If a phone is sold from one friend to another and wants to use it on a different carrier the friend can contact the carrier it was sold by to request it unlocked.  I know AT&T, Verizon, and Sprint will give you the steps to unlock it as long as the original contract it was bought under has been completed.  eBay/Craigslist is really not the best place to try to get "unlocked phones" from, if it turns out the phone isn't unlocked then I'm really sorry you got stuck with that one and as stevejobsfan said above I would report them immediately and see if you can recover your money.  I sell phones for a living and this happens a lot
