How to use a single formula in multiple crosstabs

Hi, I have 2 crosstabs, each in separate subreports, which are both combined into my overall report.  I'm formatting the background color of a field in each crosstab using a background color formula in each crosstab.
I'm applying the formula by right-clicking the field, selecting "Format Field," selecting the "Border" tab, then clicking the formula button next to "Background."
This works fine.  However, both crosstabs use the same exact formula, so I must change it in two places every time.  Is there a way to write the formula once, and use it in each crosstab?
I tried just creating a new formula from the Field Explorer and calling it in each crosstab, but I'm using "currentfieldvalue" in my formulas, and I got an error saying the function could only be used in field formatting formulas.

Thanks!

Hi..
You are using two sub reports in one report, I don't think we can have a single formula to apply on a diffrent cross tab reports.  As you said you are using CurrentFieldValue in your formula, this can be used only in cross tab field format.
You have to write separate  formulas for your two cross tab  reports
Thanks,

    Hello Experts,
    I am usiing a variable X in different schedules for creating a bar graph.This variable X is used in all schedules with different restrictions.For that reason I have to use X and follow some space after X to use it in another schedule. Is there any method to use X again base on schedule name? For example: If schedule1 then X where key=1000 and if schedule2 then X where key=2000.

    Hi,
    You can create a variable with the same name but use this in a small case...

  • How do I send single notifications to multiple people in the workflow?

    HI
    As I see you can send notification to one person at a time.
    For example, the approval notification goes to a approver once someone submits a expense report or po approval.
    How do I send single notifications to multiple people in the workflow?
    Any idea?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    You need to send the notification to a role, which can comprise one or more than one users. If you check the "Expand roles" checkbox, then a different copy of the notification will be sent to each member of the role; otherwise one notification is sent which can be viewed by all holders of the role.
    You should always send a notification to a role rather than a user, anyway - roles do not go on holiday, get sick or leave the company; users do.

  • How to use a USER_DATASTORE to index multiple columns in different tables

    I would appreciate if somebody can give an example or point to links with examples on how to use USER_DATASTORE on multiple columns in different tables. THe Oracle Text documentation only shows multiple columns in the same table.
    Thanks in advance.

    I am not sure why your getting the wrong results but you should seriously reconsider the approach your are taking. Using functions like this is very ineffecient and should be avoided at all cost.

  • How to use JList's ensureIndexIsVisible and multiple selection using CTRL

    Hello everyone. I am stuck on how to use JList's ensureIndexIsVisible() method and to also allow multiple rows in the list to be selected. Currently, when I begin typing a number stored in the list (i.e. 10001) the focus will go to that row; however, when I press the CTRL key and begin typing another number (i.e. 30001) the focus never goes to the new row. I have a suspicion that I need to cancel out the CTRL key somehow when typing the numbers but also need to keep the knowledge that the CTRL key is pressed to allow for multiple selection. Thanks in advance for your help!

  • How to use airport time capsule with multiple computers?

    I'm sure there are some thread about this but i couldn't find it... so sorry for that but hear me out! =)
    I bought the AirPort Time Capsule to back up my MBP
    And so i did.
    then i thought "let give this one a fresh start" so i erased all of it with the disk utility and re-installed the MBP from the recovery disk.
    I dont want all of the stuff i backed up just a few files and some pictures so i brought that back.. so far so good.
    Now i want to do a new back up of my MBP so i open time machine settings, pick the drive on the time capsule and then "Choose" i wait for the beck up to begin, and then it fails.  It says (sorry for my bad english, im swedish haha) "the mount /Volume/Data-1/StiflersMBP.sparsebundle is already in use for back up.
    this is what i want:
    i want the "StiflersMBP.sparsebundle" to just be so i can get some stuf when i need them. it's never to be erased.
    i want to make a new back up of my MBP as if it's a second computer...
    so guys and girls, what is the easiest and best solution?
    Best regards!

    TM does not work like that.
    If you want files to use later.. do not use TM.
    Or do not use TM to the same location. Plug a USB drive into the computer and use that as the target for the permanent backup.
    Read some details of how TM works so you understand what it will do.

    Use a clone or different software for a permanent backup.

    For looping you use foreach loop and , loop for the number of occurences and when constructing response, adding a new element you have to use bpelx:append.  Good sample at Enterprise Integration: Oracle SOA Suite 11g: Populating a list or an array in BPEL without using XSLT.

  • How to use a single iTunes library when using multiple Windows Accounts

    Has anyone had success using a common iTunes library between multiple accounts on a single computer? I've tried and have been able to point all of the "different" iTunes programs in the different profiles to the same place...however, when I add files in one profile, they are not visible in any others. I've authorized the "different" iTunes in each profile to play music with my various iTunes store accounts...but no luck.
    Any thoughts? (As an aside, what happened to the days when Apple made everything simple? I mean, REALLY SIMPLE! They worked hard at that...and seem to have just given up on the things that made them GREAT! <sigh>)

    Drag the entire iTunes folder to a shared directory.
    Make sure all users have full access privileges to this folder.
    Start iTunes holding the Shift key and select *Choose existing library*.
    Now quit iTunes, log out and go the next user.
    Start iTunes holding the Shift key and select *Choose existing library*.
    Do this for each user.

  • How to use/sync single data (file) across multiple instances of same application

    Currently we have an application (a diagram editor), that have the ability to save and load (serialize) its state in a xml file.
    Now we want this application to behave like Microsoft OneNote application. Where multiple users have the ability to access the same file.
    Later we may also need to enhance with other things like, (1)what is changed and who changed it, (2)option to resolve conflicts if any.
    I came to know about sync framework to resolve this. so far, i have not tried it.
    All i want is,
    Virtually single file should be edited by multiple instances of same application.
    We need a dll (sync framework) that does following
    It takes complete responsibility of file handling.
    Using this dll, each instance of the application will notify their own changes.
    Each instance of the application should have the ability to detect the changes that is recently made (when, who, what are the changes).
    My question:
    Will sync framework be suitable for this requirement?
    If so, is there a demo application that represents this?
    - Jegan

    Seems like I have found the solution.
    In the taskflow there is a property named data-control-scope and I set it to isolated instead of the default (shared) and this seemed to do the trick.
    I can now have two instances of the same taskflow running with different ApplicationModules
    Cheers,

  • How to use a single iPhoto Library from multiple macs

    I'm trying to help my brother out with his iPhoto Library and his Mac network.  He has a Library on a MacBook Pro that is about 65GB.  I am moving it to his Mac Mini to make it the primary Library.  What he wants to do is be able to load new photographs from any Mac in his house and have them appear in the primary Library.  If I make the Mac mini shareable and point iPhoto on each of his Mac's to the Library on the Mac Mini, will that work?
    Are there any down sides to doing it this way?  Can you create multiple Libraries for iPhoto, the other thing we are thinking about is to organize his Library by years.
    Thanks
    Elliot

    What do you mean by "make the Mac mini shareable"?
    Iphoto is not really designed for this kind of use, but there are some possibilities - with limitations.
    I'm assuming you want to use the same library for each machine, so there is only one.
    Put the Library on a disk formatted Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and set to ignore ownership and permissions.
    Then point each machine at it in turn.
    Remember only one machine can access the Library at a time, and attempting to do so with multiple machines can cause damage.
    How are you connecting to the Library? A strong warning: If you're trying to edit the Library (that is, make albums, move photos around, keyword, make books or slideshows etc.) or edit individual photos in it via Wireless be very careful. Dropouts are a common fact of wireless networking, and should one occur while the app is writing to the database then your Library will be damaged. Simply, I would not do this with my Libraries.

  • How to use one single boolean button to control a multiple while loops?

    I've posted the attached file and you will see that it doesn't let me use local variable for stop button, but I need to stop all the action whenever I want but more than one single button on the front panel would look ugly... The file represents the Numeric Mode of

    In order to use a local variable, you can change the mechanical action of stop button (Switch When Pressed will work), or create a property node for it and select values. You'll also have to do a lot of work changing those for loops into while loops so that you can abort them.
