Maximum Cells in Query

Hello experts,
Does anyone know what the maximum number of cells in a structured report is?
I am not talking about the 65,536 rows in Excel, but actually how many rows and columns you can have in your query.
I am getting a Brain 457 error:
Query ZFI_M02_8Y0_Q977 is too large.
Message no. BRAIN457
Diagnosis
Query ZFI_M02_8Y0_Q977 contains 8192 differing selection cells. However, only 8191 selection cells can be processed in a query.
Procedure
Please simplify query definition ZFI_M02_8Y0_Q977.
I have 95 defined columns and 145 defined rows, which would calculate out to 13585 cells.
Cheers

Hello James,
The problem is in the complexity of objects you use in this. The message comes from OLAP acceptance test and actually has nothing to do with the cells of data. Here it is the internal number of selection groups OLAP can handle.
Actually this number appears are a result of simplification of complex Restricted and Calculated KF inheriting each other in definitions. One complex KF represented as a structure members in your query may come to OLAP as 20-30 (or more) selection groups. That means the visible amount of members may be significantly less that the amount OLAP operates with. There is no way to get this number in design time except use 'query check' function which should return the error when the limit is over.
In this case is necessary to remove one complex KF or replace it by local SEL/FML. In most cases this will help to get the same query definition with cheaper costs for OLAP.
Best regards

Can we see value of CKF in exception cell in query designer-please reply

Hello all,
I am defining a query in query designer in which i am using the exception cells, I am having two structures in this query. Now at the intersection of these two structure on one particular line I am trying to define the properties of that cell. I selected new selection and after that I added the calculated key figure that I had created. So should that cell show me the value of the calculated key figure (that is what I thought, that if I can put my CKF in that cell it will show me the value for that CKF). I am seeing different results.
Is there any way you can actually show the value of calculated key figure in that particular cell.
Thanks in advance,
Raj

Hi Raj,
You can add Calculated key figure,RKF and even single key figures .The cells are independent of each other and that should not be an issue.
Whatever the key figure is in the cell it should show that value.
Just check again whether you have put any key figure into the selections of the structures
There should be no key fgures into selctions.
Hope it helps
Thanks

Maximum length of query string for functions return a SELECT

Hi all,
I have a report that gets it's SELECT statement from a function, instead of being coded into the region. All was well but I suspect now I'm blowing some kind of limit as I'm getting an error :
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
Error ERR-1101 Unable to process function body returning query.
However if I run the procedure out of ApEx and grab the SELECT statement then it works fine. The length of the query is 8636 bytes (yup, it's a beauty!).
Does anyone know if there is a hard limit to the size of the string that can be returned?
I'm using ApEx 3.1.
Thanks,
Steve H

I do have a similar painfull scenario - Although my query length is very less i.e 618 bytes only.
I have defined a stored function, which returns an SQL query string, this return SQL string executes fantastic but when I tried to to call this function from a APEX report it gives error. the details are as follows. Please help.......
The function code:
CREATE OR REPLACE function PROD."TEST_C_QRY"
return VARCHAR2
is
msql VARCHAR2(32767);
Begin
msql:='Select null,statusname,AgeInd, ';
For m_stat in (select statusname from a02_status)
loop
msql:= msql || q'[decode(statusname,']';
msql:= msql || m_stat.statusname;
msql:= msql || q'[',count(id),0) ]';
msql:= msql || m_stat.statusname|| ',';
end loop;
msql:=rtrim(msql,',');
msql:= msql||' from ';
msql:= msql||'( ';
msql:= msql||'select a.id, round(sysdate-a.registeredon) TimeSpan,';
msql:= msql||'case ';
msql:= msql||q'[when round(sysdate-a.registeredon)<=7 then 'Week' ]';
msql:= msql||q'[when round(sysdate-a.registeredon)>7 and round(sysdate-a.registeredon)<14 then 'Fortnight' ]';
msql:= msql||q'[when round(sysdate-a.registeredon)>14 and round(sysdate-a.registeredon)<30 then 'Month' ]';
msql:= msql||q'[else 'More...' end ageind,]';
msql:= msql||'a.status_id,b.statusname ';
msql:= msql||'from a02_task a,a02_status b ';
msql:= msql||'where b.id=a.status_id) ';
msql:= msql||'group by statusname,AgeInd;';
return msql;
end TEST_C_QRY;
The Output SQL comes from this is
SQL> Select null,statusname,AgeInd, decode(statusname,'Scheduled',count(id),0) Scheduled,decode(statusname,'Executing',count(id),0) Executing,decode(statusname,
'Completed',count(id),0) Completed from ( select a.id, round(sysdate-a.registeredon) TimeSpan, case when round(sysdate-a.registeredon)<=7 then 'Week' when round
(sysdate-a.registeredon)>7 and round(sysdate-a.registeredon)<14 then 'Fortnight' when round(sysdate-a.registeredon)>14 and round(sysdate-a.registeredon)<30 then
'Month' else 'More...' end ageind, a.status_id,b.statusname from a02_task a,a02_status b where b.id=a.status_id) group by statusname,AgeInd;
The result that comes when I execute the above resultant SQL is as follows.
N STATUSNAME AGEIND SCHEDULED EXECUTING COMPLETED
Completed More... 0 0 4
Completed Week 0 0 1
Scheduled Week 1 0 0
Completed Month 0 0 3
Executing More... 0 1 0
Executing Month 0 6 0
Scheduled More... 1 0 0
7 rows selected.
But the surprising error that comes from Oracle XE when I use the following code for stacked bar chart
Code:
begin
return TEST_D_QRY;
end;
Error thrown by XE report builder is as follows:
1 error has occurred
Failed to parse SQL query!
Select null,statusname,AgeInd, decode(statusname,'Scheduled',count(id),0) Scheduled,decode(statusname,'Executing',count(id),0) Executing,decode(statusname,'Completed',count(id),0) Completed from ( select a.id, round(sysdate-a.registeredon) TimeSpan, case when round(sysdate-a.registeredon)<=7 then 'Week' when round(sysdate-a.registeredon)>7 and round(sysdate-a.registeredon)<14 then 'Fortnight' when round(sysdate-a.registeredon)>14 and round(sysdate-a.registeredon)<30 then 'Month' else 'More...' end ageind, a.status_id,b.statusname from a02_task a,a02_status b where b.id=a.status_id) group by statusname,AgeInd;
Certain queries can only be executed when running your application, if your query appears syntactically correct, you can save your query without validation (see options below query source).

Maximum Length of Query String

Hello all,
I am getting the (in)famous null pointer exception inside my Webaction. I am appending certain parameters to my Action object in Javascript, so that they are avaialble in my webaction. Here there is no way that a certain value can come null [i am setting the value to true while declaring the var]. The possible problem could be the maximum length of the querystring. I am doubting that the maximum allowed length of Querystring is exceeded and thus I am not getting the last appended parameter upon submitting the form, thus giving me null value.
Can someone please let me know what is the maximum allowed length of querystring inside a JSP

The maximum URL length allowed by Internet Explorer is ~2,048
characters. This includes the host name, directory, page, and all
parameters.
may be this is limiting ur parameter........

Query designing problem while applying cell properties

Hello Experts,
I have a problem while designing query. Problem is as follow:
I have a calculated field on key figure column. This key figure calculates variance between 2 columns.
for E.g I have 2 columns Budget and Actual and third column is %Variance which should be
1. ((Actual - Budget)/Budget) *100 or
2. ((Budget -Actual)/Budget)*100, depening on some values on the row i should use any of these 2 formulas but the result should be dispalyed in single column % Variance.
how can i change the formula in key figures depending on these conditions. I can achieve this by applying cells but i dont want to do so as it is very complex way to desing these queries.
also let me know applying cells on query affects its performance or not?
Regards,
Nirav

Hi Nitin,
Your reply may help me.
But my exact requirement is not that. Requirement is as follow:
I have created Char. Structure in row which contains few rows as revenue and few rows as expense.
I created them by creating selections. Now in case of expense the variance should be (Budget-Actual)/Budget *100.
In case of revenue variance should be (Actual-Budget)/Budget *100.
So, here i have to find out revenue & expense char. iresspective of which one is greater.

Nirav

Report and ready for input Query, with similar shadings are confusing

Some customers mix report and planning queries in their templates.
usually the shades for PLAN Queries are
o white - ready vor input
o blue- display data (e.g. LY, calc KPI)
In a Query with NO INPUT ready Cells the query has a zebra shading, blue and white, row by row.
That is confusion for users if they believe every Number on a white background can be changed.
Is it possible to change the shading for reporting queries to blue only?
Best Regards,
Georg

Hi.
You can cancel zebra by setting off for ALTERNATE_STYLES in properties if analysis item in WAD, BUT it sets all cells as WHITE and not blue.
I dont know how it will be usefull, but you may try ...

In Query mode, date items does not accepts more than 10 characters..Why?

Dear All,
In my form, While querying my date items, it does not accepts more than 10 Characters. Could it be changeable.
Actually i want to search like greater than specified date( >01/01/2007 ).
But i can specify like >01/01/07. After tabbing out from that item, it displays like >01/01/200.
How to overcome this issue.
Please help.
Regards,
Balaji

You are absoletely correct Francois!
Previously i have made a mistake that both of my maximum length and query length property to 20. That time it was not worked. Now i changed my maximum length to the old one like 11 and i changed only the query length to 20.
Now it is working. I understood the concept wrongly.
Thanks Francois!

Pivot Query with Top N

Oracle 10g
I have formed the following query;
select cell
 , plot_number
 , max(decode(drnk, '1', tree_height*100)) ht_1
 , max(decode(drnk, '2', tree_height*100)) ht_2
 , max(decode(drnk, '3', tree_height*100)) ht_3
from (select cell
 , plot_number
 , tree_height
 , drnk
 from (select cell
 , plot_number
 , tree_height
 , dense_rank() over (partition by plot_number order by tree_height desc)drnk
 from jip_recovery
 where drnk <= 3
 and tree_height is not null
 order by tree_height desc
group by cell, plot_number
order by cell, plot_numberThis query is supposed to take data like this and pivot it for the three tallest trees;
select cell, plot_number, tree_height from jip_recovery where cell = 'C01' and plot_number = 10151;
CELL PLOT_NUMBER TREE_HEIGHT
C01 10151 14.01
C01 10151 21.33
C01 10151 16.06
C01 10151 16.88
C01 10151 18.29
C01 10151 12.27
6 rows selected When I include a filter for CELL and PLOT NUMBER like this;
select cell
 , plot_number
 , max(decode(drnk, '1', tree_height*100)) ht_1
 , max(decode(drnk, '2', tree_height*100)) ht_2
 , max(decode(drnk, '3', tree_height*100)) ht_3
from (select cell
 , plot_number
 , tree_height
 , drnk
 from (select cell
 , plot_number
 , tree_height
 , dense_rank() over (partition by plot_number order by tree_height desc)drnk
 from jip_recovery
 where cell in ('C01')
 and plot_number in (10151)
 where drnk <= 3
 and tree_height is not null
 order by tree_height desc)
group by cell, plot_number
order by cell, plot_numberIt returns the correct values in the three columns
CELL PLOT_NUMBER HT_1 HT_2 HT_3
C01 10151 2133 1829 1688 But when I remove the filter to run it on the complete dataset some 546000 records it returns nulls for some of the HT_% columns. Of special interest in this example is the record for plot number 10151 and 10153.;
CELL PLOT_NUMBER HT_1 HT_2 HT_3
C01 8198 2652 2105 2075
C01 8199 2338 2107 2012
C01 10151 2133
C01 10153 1993 1628
C01 10154 2151 2135 1976
...Can anyone see what I am doing wrong?

Yes, you missed cell from the partition.

To HIDE only Value not the Infobject at Query Execution?

Hello All
Case1.I have
Infobject-----TOTAL
VALUE1----
100
VALUE2----
100
VALUE3----
100
Now at runtime I want to hide VALUE2 only,but the scenario is VALUE2 infobject should display in report without TOTAL i.e.,only the TOTAL value should'nt display?
OUTPUT should come like this
Infobject-----TOTAL
VALUE1----
100
VALUE2----
VALUE3----
100
Case2
Since the TOTAL of VALUE1,VALUE2,VALUE3 are same in down TOT_VAL should display as 100 only,how to do this?
Example
OUTPUT should come like this
Infobject-----TOTAL
VALUE1----
100
VALUE2----
VALUE3----
100
TOT_VAL----
100
Pl let me know in this regard
Many Thanks
balaji

Hi balaji,
u can achieve CASE1 be defining cells.for this u should have two structures.
1.create a structure in rows with VALUE1,2 and VALUE3.
2.create one more structure with u r keyfigures and total.
3.now go to 'define cells' in Query designer.
4.double click at the intersection point of TOTAL and VALUE2.u will se like 'TOTAL/VALUE2' in that cell.bow rght click on that cell>properties...here set hide property as "always hide"...-->ok...now save u r Query...
execute the query and u will see blank for VALUE2 in TOTAL Column.
hope its clear.

Jump to Query

Hi
There are two queries:
Query 1
Query 2
The requirement is like this:
If one clicks on any cell in Query 1, Query 2 will be displayed.
How to work out this. Please suggest.
Regards

Hi,
You can use Report To Report Interface(RRI) for this. But using RRI you can go to the next query by rightclick->query name only.If you want to to goto the query on a left double-click, in the toolbox, select the option 'goto'. you will have an option ' Repeat jump on double click'. check that option and also check your second query name above that option.Now when you double click on any cell , the next query will be displayed. Save these settings in the query as a workbook / global view.

Embedded query not saved after change

Microsoft Office Professional Plus 2010
Excel macro spreadsheet ie .xlsm
Embedded query is in a sheet.
MsgBox (QuerySheet.QueryTables(1).Connection) returns the following ( albeit i've hidden some info)
URL;http://database.company.com/r=si01,si02,si03
I right click in cell, edit query, query window comes up. I change si01 to be si33. Query occurs, I select data block I want, data is refreshed on tab. Everything is good :-)
Recheck querytable..
MsgBox (QuerySheet.QueryTables(1).Connection) returns the following now
URL;http://database.company.com/r=si33,si02,si03
Save the file, doesn't matter if save or save as.
Reopening this file, my embedded query has REVERTED to the original, showing si01 rather than si33.
Any suggestions on how to resolve? Thanks!

Hi Kneelh,
Base on my test in office Professional Plus 2010, it works fine, I can’t reproduce that issue.
Please share the sample file that could reproduce that issue on the OneDrive, we will check it.

How to remove Cross Marks in the Report Column.of Cell..!!

Hi Experts,
I am facing an issue. I have included a Formula in the Cell at Query Level.
When i run the report in the Bex Analyzer.
for that Formula column in the report there is some Cross Marks with Red Colour is displaying.
But the Formula is added in the Cell area at Query designer level.
Here user requirement is if there is no values calculated in the Formula column there should be no values has to be displayed.
But unfortunately, here i am getting Cross Marks or Mulitply Symbol is displaying.
My Question is Pls advice, How to remove those Red Cross Marks in the report of that Column.
Thanks,
SN.

Hi,
Whenever there is no value, by default, and SAP standard, it shows X mark.
At reporting level you cannot do changes, as this change has to be done at global level. Hence make sure that if this has to be changes this will affect other reports too.
If you still feel that X mark has to be displayed as blank, then you can do this in SPRO settings.
SPRO->Display IMG->SAP Netweaver->Business Intelligence->Settings for Reporting and Analysis->and execute Presenting the numeric value in the Bex.
Change the value:
Does not exist : Remove X.
Hope this solves your issue.
