Additional Lead Column in Report painter

Hi Gurus
Please guide me how to add an additional Lead column in Report painter
Thanks
Hiren

Hi HIren,
There can be only one lead column in report painter.
However within the one lead column you can identify more than one characteristic - e.g. cost center and cost element. You can then identify that both characteristics should be exploded.
If you go Edit > Rows > Explode, you have the opportunity of identifying which characteristic takes presidence over the other, and how they expand. So in this example, Cost center will be 1 and cost element will be 2.
The output will be dependant upon your report layout, but you should have the layout so that you have:
Cost Center A:
- Cost Element A
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
Cost Center B:
- Cost Element A:
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
And to distinguish the cost centers from the cost elements, you can format the cost center row "Color for Totals"

New column to report painter

Hello ABAP Gurus,
There is a report created with Report Writer (S_ALR_87013000) and I should add some extra columns to the end of it. The problem is that the new columns are not contained by the basic keyfigures of Report Painter; they should be red from masterdata: different fields from table AUFK.
How can I add these columns? Is it possible to define own keyfigures? Or is any other way to enhance this report?
Thanks,
Krisztian

HI Pradeep,
Goto the transaction code (Change Report) GR32.
Give you library name and report name
And click on the column (application tool bar or F7) button then place the curser on the screen where you want column (please note you have to keep curser on the header section u2013Red column text) right click and insert element. Then you select formula as selection element and enter. You will get the enter formula box. Then you can type your formula and continue. This will add new column to the report.
How to enter formula: you can see the formula components in that id and description.
Id is columns that are present and description indicates explanation of that column.
Enter formula according your requirement.
Examples:
Enter formula screen:
ID : des
X001 amount
X002 pt000
X003 test
1. Enter formula as: ( X001 u2013 X002)
The above formula is for fist column u2013 second column.
2. ( ( X001 u2013 X002) / X003) * 100
First column u2013 second column and devide by third column after that multiple with 100.
Hope this will help you

Increase the runtime value of report

Dear All,
My few reports are giving short dumps in the foreground as well in the background. Please guide me how to increase the runtime of these reports.
Please give me the whole process
Regrads,
Vikas Madaan

Hi Vikas,
You have not mentioned what is the short dump error .
Is it time out or something else..
In background there is no time limit for a program to run . It can run for days together provided system is up and running. In foreground the maximum time is limited by rdisp/max_wprun_time . On our system it is 20 minutes.
Can you be more specific about the dump error. And what do you mean by increase runtime value ??
Cheers

Display Profit Center & GL Account in 2 Seperate Columns in Report Painter Report

Hello All,
I am building a Report Painter Report for Inventory Balances. As psrt of my requirement I have to display GL Account & Profit Center ina different Column & their Balances for each month on this Current Fiscal Period. As/of now I am only able to have both GL Account & Profit Center in the Same Lead Column? And it is perfect if I look on the Report but when I download all the GL Account & Profit Center are not seperated with Color, so it becomes confusing. I need to have execlty the Report as Same Format S_PL0_86000030.
How can this be achievable? Thanks for your valuable input?

the account is probably in account group or set. Look for that one in report painter and then go to the set or account group and remove/add the account.

EXTREMELY URGENT: % Cost (out of Total Costs) Column in Report Painter

Hi Gurus,
I'm not new to Report Painter, but, am stuck at one thing.
In report, Col 1 shows Costs by Administration (row 1), Labor (row 2), Others (row 3) and total (row 4 being formula as total of row 1, 2 & 3).
Client wants col 2 to show % Cost of each row out of total Expenses (so totals row in this col. will have 100%)
How to do it technically.
Please help. It's EXTREMELY URGENT.
I'll award points ASAP
Regards,
SB

Its abit difficult to illustrate without having a screen dump, what you can do is make use of something called special cell definition. Now if you double click on the cell for column 1 of row 4 for total costs then the system identifies it as a cell Z001 which in fact will recognise a constant value of total costs , thereby you can define in Column 2 as a formula element with (X001/Z001)*100 thereby giving a value in %. Try it and see if it helps

Trying to add new columns to Report painter Report

Hi Experts,
I created a report painter report by copying an already existing report. In addition I wanted to add extra columns to this report but after adding a few and coming to the last page of the existing report when i try to add a new column the system gives me an error message
Insufficient space on current page -> moving not possible
    Message no. KH581
As this is the last page, I am not able to add extra columns to this report. How can I go to the next page and add columns to this existing report. Your responses are highly appreciated.
Regards
ASLV

Hello,
This is a constraint in the system.
The solution maybe is to define narrower columns
because there is a hard restriction in ABAP to have at least 255 digits
on one page.
The message KH581 is processed because there is not enough space left
on the first horizontal page. So if you first add a new horizontal page
you can add the new column on the second page. Also if you decrease the
column width of the columns to get more space left on the first page you
can add the new columns.
I hope it helps.
