Formula Column in Matrix Report (Running Balance)

Hi all. I hope somebody can help me.
I am working on a matrix report using multi-query data models. The report has 2 groups in the horizontal axis and 3 groups in the vertical axis. The intersection is not just a single row but may consist of multiple rows.
My problem is this. I want to create a column in the intersection which is obtained by using a column value from the lowest group in the vertical axis and a summary column obtained from the rows of the intersection.
Here's what my report looks like:
2002 (accross)
2002(down) january february (accross)
January (down) payments balance payments balance
loan #1 10,000 500 9,000 200 8,800
500
loan #2 5,000 100 4,900 200 4,700
February
loan #3 3,500 0 3,500 50 3,450
loan #4 4,200 0 4,200 0 4,200
As you can see, the loans are grouped by month and year. And the payments are grouped for the month and year too.
The data model is :
For Query 1 (Vertical Axis),
1st group - Loan Yr
2nd group - Loan Mo
3rd group - Loan # and amount
For Query 2 (Horizontal Axis)
1st group - Payment Yr
2nd group - Payment Mo
Intersection Group - Payment Amount
My problem actually is how to compute for the running balance of the loan for each month in the horizontal axis. Ive already created a cross product summary to get the running total of the payments made for the month. I tried creating a formula column to for the running balance by subtracting it from the loan amount but i get the error "incompatible frequency"
I hope i have described my problem well and thanks for the help

The problem is that you're trying to reference dimension columns(loan Amount) in the calculation of matrix cell values. You can only reference other matrix cell values or cross product columns (summary, formula, placeholders) when calculating matrix cell values. Try moving the (loan Amount) column down to the matrix cell - something like:
For Query 1 (Vertical Axis),
1st group - G_LoanYear(LoanYr)
2nd group - G_LoanMonth(LoanMo)
3rd group - G_LoanNumber(Loan#)
For Query 2 (Horizontal Axis)
1st group - G_PaymentYear(PaymentYr)
2nd group - G_PaymentMonth(PaymentMo)
Intersecion /Detail Group - G_Details(PaymentAmount, LoanAmount)
Then create the following Matrix summary columns:
A running summary - CS_Payments:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber G_PaymentYear G_PaymentMonth
- Source: PaymentAmount
- Function: Sum
- Reset At: G_LoanNumber
The total amount per loan - CS_TotalPayment:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber
- Source: LoanAmount
- Function: First
- Reset At: G_LoanNumber
The value of the loan after each payment - CF_Countdown:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber G_PaymentYear G_PaymentMonth
- PL/SQL Formula:
function CF_CountdownFormula return Number is
begin
return(:CS_TotalPayment - :CS_Payments);
end;
You should then be able to display "CF_Payments" and "CF_Countdown" in the matrix cell to show how much has been paid and how much is still owed.
You can still have another "loan amount" as a dimension column - you just don't need to use it when calculating the values in the cell.

How to add a formula column in a report

Hi
I have made a report based on a query.
There are 3 columns in the query and all the 3 are displayed.
Now I want to add a new column (fomula column) to the report.
I want to write a query inside the formula column. To execute the query col1, col2 and col3 values are required in the formula column.
Could you please tell me how to add a formula column in the report and how to pass database column value to inside the formula column
regards

Here is how you would create a formula column:
Open data model of the report.
Formula column button is on the left side of the tool palette.
Click on that button.
Now click in the query group where you want to place the formula column.
You would see a new field something like CF_1. That is the formula column.
Double click on the field CF_1. It will open property inspector.
You would see, Datatype of the formula column is Number. Change this as per your requirement.
Double click on PL/SQL Formula property. It would open up a editor. Here you can write the code.
And now to access the data model column here, you can use : and column name. i.e. :col1 or :col2, etc
And remember you have to return the value back to the formula column. Like this: RETURN(some value).
You can also take a help from here:

Hope this helps.

About formula column in oracle report

I want the output value of the formula column in my report between two brackts ....ex: (28.99) ...can anyone give me the idea

Do u mean that brackets have to be appeared only when the value is +ve/-ve. then you need to use (9999) in the format mask of the property pallette of the text column. if you want to use the brackets for all the data, then the solution has been provided by many of our frnds.

Using PL/SQL in a formula column in Oracle Reports Builder.

Hi,
I need to SUM two record from the result of an SQL interrogation.
Here's what it looks like
function CF_1Formula return Number is
nTot1 NUMBER :=0;
nTot2 NUMBER :=0;
begin
     select sum(:TOT1) into nTot1 from table(Q1) ;
     select sum(:TOT2) into nTot2 from table(Q1) ;
     return (nTot1 + nTot2);
end;I'm kind of new to formula column programming any link of interest would be appreciated.
The from table(Q1) part Q1 represents my SQL interrogation name and the group below it is G_MAIN.

Hi Hong Kong King Kong,
From looking at that function name (and the group name): Is this an Oracle Reports generated function?
If so, there's also a dedicated Reports forum: Reports
By the way, I like your synonym for 'query'.
I'm sure I'll confuse some of my collegues tomorrow when I will mention 'database interrogation' instead of 'query'. ;)

Doh...I should not underestimate the information that is posted in thread subjects.

The problem is that you're trying to reference dimension columns(loan Amount) in the calculation of matrix cell values. You can only reference other matrix cell values or cross product columns (summary, formula, placeholders) when calculating matrix cell values. Try moving the (loan Amount) column down to the matrix cell - something like:
For Query 1 (Vertical Axis),
1st group - G_LoanYear(LoanYr)
2nd group - G_LoanMonth(LoanMo)
3rd group - G_LoanNumber(Loan#)
For Query 2 (Horizontal Axis)
1st group - G_PaymentYear(PaymentYr)
2nd group - G_PaymentMonth(PaymentMo)
Intersecion /Detail Group - G_Details(PaymentAmount, LoanAmount)
Then create the following Matrix summary columns:
A running summary - CS_Payments:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber G_PaymentYear G_PaymentMonth
- Source: PaymentAmount
- Function: Sum
- Reset At: G_LoanNumber
The total amount per loan - CS_TotalPayment:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber
- Source: LoanAmount
- Function: First
- Reset At: G_LoanNumber
The value of the loan after each payment - CF_Countdown:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber G_PaymentYear G_PaymentMonth
- PL/SQL Formula:
function CF_CountdownFormula return Number is
begin
return(:CS_TotalPayment - :CS_Payments);
end;
You should then be able to display "CF_Payments" and "CF_Countdown" in the matrix cell to show how much has been paid and how much is still owed.
You can still have another "loan amount" as a dimension column - you just don't need to use it when calculating the values in the cell.

SSRS 2005 - Dynamically control the width of columns in Matrix report or Hide any column

Hi All,
I just want to hide some column without having white space in Matrix report in SSRS 2005. Although I am aware of that perhaps this feature is not available on SSRS 2005. So, I just want to know if we can handle the width of column dynamically(using expressions)
in matrix report?
Please help. Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Kumud

Hi Kumud,
Based on my test, SSRS is not support column dynamically width. It has property “CanGrow” of text box. If we configure the property to True, it will wraps to next line if needed. In SSRS 2008, we can hide some columns without white space. If possible, I
recommend you update your SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2008.
There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

Linking using formula column

I've tried several ways of doing this, and this seems to be the easiest way. Basically, depending on the type of record, I need to use one of two columns to link to another query. So, if a row in query A has type 1, I need to use column X to link to query B. If a row in query A has type 2, I need to use column Y to link to query B.
I thought the easiest way to do this would be to create a formula column in Query A that was the value of column X or Y as appropriate and then link to Query B using this formula field. However, I can't seem to link queries using a formula.
Does anyone have any ideas how I can accomplish this? I'm new with Oracle reports, so go easy on me :)
Thanks,
Julie.

What error are you getting?
Is it: REP-1297: Data link child column 'CF_1' must be a database column?
If so, the reason is the child column cannot be a formula column. The parent column, on the other hand, can be a formula column.
If I understand your data model correctly, "A" is your parent query/group and "CF_1" is the formula column in query/group "A".
"B" is your child query. "FK_1" (the foreign key column in query "B") is your child column.
You should be able to link "CF_1" in "A" to "FK_1" in "B" by doing:
- click on the link tool
- click on "CF_1" in "A"
- drag to "FK_1" in "B"
- A link should be created. Double click on it to bring up the property palette for that link and you'd see the link properties.
Hope that helps...

: HIDING SUMMARY COLUMNS IN MATRIX REPORT , URGENT

Hi,
Can any one please tell me how to hide a column in oralce matrix report. Its a summary column for the matrix report which appears next to the cell values. For example
Manufacturer
Brand
SubBrand1 SubBrand2 Brand Total Manufacturer Total
Week $ Sales $ Sales Total $ Sales Total $ Sales
This is a case where,the cell value is the $ sales for the SubBrand for the week. And it gets total at each brand level and each Manufacturer level. The requrement is if there is only one SubBrand for a Brand then the Brand total should not appear on the report. Similarly if there is one Brand for a Manufacturer, then the total at Manufacturer level should not appear . The point is not only it should dissapear but the frame should srink to make it fell that there is no totaling going on at those two levels. If the fileds just remains blank then the report looks odd. So the gap should be srinked as well. How to do it . This is very urgent . Please help me out.
Thanks
Feroz

use a formst trigeer on the field that returns false when you don't want to display the field.

Display null rows / columns in matrix report

Hi,
Is it possible to display any character ('0' for example) in a matrix report where the entire row or column show no value at all ?
My matrix shows Row1 and Row2 with values but no Row3 at all like this:
Column1 Column2 Column3
Row1 value1 value2 value3
Row2 value4 value5 value6
But I would like it to show my rows 3 with '0's :
Column1 Column2 Column3
Row1 value1 value2 value3
Row2 value4 value5 value6
Row3 0 0 0
Thank you,
Denise

Make your query return 0 with nvl(column, 0) and an outer join, plus some stuff to avoid a double outer join.
E.g. a sales per product per city:
      City1   City2 City3
Prod1   10     100    12
Prod2   25     110   200
Prod3    0       0     0Could be made like this:
create table city (c_city varchar2(10));
create table prod (p_prod   varchar2(10));
create table prod_sales (ps_city varchar2(10)
, ps_prod varchar2(10)
, ps_sales number);
<.....insert some values, except voor Prod3 .....>
SQL> select p_prod, c_city, nvl(ps_sales,0)
2 from (select c_city, p_prod from city, prod)
3 ,    prod_sales
4 where ps_city(+) = c_city
5 and   ps_prod(+) = p_prod
6 order by 1,2 ;
P_PROD     C_CITY     NVL(PS_SALES,0)
Prod1      City1                   10
Prod1      City2                  100
Prod1      City3                   12
Prod2      City1                   25
Prod2      City2                  110
Prod2      City3                  200
Prod3      City1                    0
Prod3      City2                    0
Prod3      City3                    0

Use Formule on FORM with REPORT - result stored at table

Hi all,
What is the best solution for?
I have region with FORM WITH REPORT on the same PAGE.
Values stored at table INFO with column ID, MYDATE, TIME_START_HOUR, TIME_START_MIN, TIME_END_HOUR, TIME_END_MIN, SUM1, SUM2
ITEMS on the form:
P1_ID (hidden)
P1_MYDATE (date picker)
P1_TIME_START_HOUR (select list)
P1_TIME_START_MIN (select list)
P1_TIME_END_HOUR (select list)
P1_TIME_END_MIN (select list)
P1_SUM1 (hidden)
P1_SUM2 (hidden)
After user fill in MYDATE, TIME_START_HOUR, TIME_START_MIN, TIME_END_HOUR, TIME_END_MIN then I need proces for calculation SUM1 en SUM2. Result stored (one record) at table INFO.
Report shows all columns. User had possibility to update the record
Formule:
Select
(CASE
when to_char(mydate,'DY','nls_date_language=dutch') in ('ZA','ZO')
THEN substr(to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_END_HOUR||':'||TIME_END_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_START_HOUR||':'||TIME_START_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -
(interval '00 00:00:00' day to second)
,12,5)
ELSE '08:00'
END) SUM1,
(CASE
when to_char(mydate,'DY','nls_date_language=dutch') in ('ZA','ZO')
THEN substr(to_timestamp (mydate||':'||TIME_END_HOUR||':'||TIME_END_MIN ||':00','DD-MM-YY:HH24:MI:SS') -

(interval '00 04:00:00' day to second)
,12,5)
ELSE '04:00'
END) SUM2
FROM INFO
where id=:ID
What is the best way for the calculation: computation or processes or etc? The calculation after or before user push button(New:create button of Update:Apply Changes)?
How to fill the answer (SUM1 and SUM2) at table INFO?
Thanks Walter
