Merge Two Reports in Excel Analyzer - One To Many Relationship

I want to show AR Data with CO Data - e.g. a bill + Income and it's associated account ssignemnt on the FI/CO side. I want the report to be able to show a cost centre manager to be wary of the income credited to their cost centre when a debtor has been raisedaas they may not fully pay the bill. To do this I'm using the standard DSO for AR & GL line items. Fisrtly I run a query on GL line item data where the user can select from a cost centre variable to look at credits to their cost centre. This produces a list of source documents that are used (via replacement path variable) in a second query. The second GL Query gives me a list of the allocation numbers for those line items. Had to be two queres as there are two GL postings that needed linking (this is because the cost assignment comes from a ceratin acc type and the debtor information comes from another acc type). I then use the allocation number (again via a replacement path variable) to run a third query on the AR data that shows all bills and payments linked to that allocation number. It seems to work ok.
However I have put these three queries in an Excel Analyzer workbook. All the user does is enter a cost centre when running the report. Each query is on a different sheet but what I'd like to do is merge the data on to the one sheet. I want to see the bill and it's payments from the AR data matched up with the cost assignment from the FI/CO data. This would be a one to many relationship e.g. one bill may have it's cost assignment split over more than one cost centre. Is there anyway to do this using simple excel functionality?
So I'd like to see:
Allocation No. 12345 Bill £100 Revenue £50 Cost Centre 1234 £25
                                                                       Cost Centre 2345 £25
Anybody any ideas?

Hi,
Thanks for your answers.
I did explore using infosets but really struggled with joining the data and getting a sensible output. For example where a bill was done in installments I was getting 12 lines (e.g. one for each month) rather than just one. THis meant it looked liked they'd paid twleve times as much etc.
I did also try report to report. Which to my mind worked ok. Except the customer wanted it all in "One" report rather than having to drill down to see data.
I'll try a multiprovider but I'm worried that I'll end up with similar issues as I had when using the infoset.
Cheers
Joel

  • One to many relationships in EJB

    I have two EBs related by a one to many relationship. The first of these tables is called Student and has studentId as its key. The second of the tables has a composite key made up of studentID, courseID and semesterID.
    However, when the tables are generated in NetBeans 5.5, I find that the Course table has studentID as both a primary key and a foreign key.
    I am at a loss to understand this as I am new to NetBeans and EJB.
    Can anyone advise?

    Because you have field
    @Column(name = "STUDENT_ID", length = 4, nullable = false)
       private long studentId; // Student ID. Entity <Student><ID> from file: SampleData.xml.In you Course_PK class. As a primary keys.
    An again you are joining it in field
        @ManyToOne(cascade=CascadeType.ALL)
       @JoinTable(name = "Student_EB", joinColumns= @JoinColumn(name = "STUDENT_ID", referencedColumnName = "studentId"))So it is appearing both inPrimary Key and in Foreign Key.

    Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.

    The PROBLEM I am a Crystal Reports Newbie, and having to work through things bit by bitu2026  I've managed to achieve quite a lot, but I'm totally stuck with this and would appreciate some help. I need to create a report (essentially a letter and some datasheets) around a one-to-many relationship, which I have managed to compile using a main report (for the one &#91;tblENQUIRY&#93;) and sub report (for the many &#91;tblDatasheets&#93;).  Essentially I need a covering letter, then the u2018manyu2019 datasheets, and then a number of other pages (which are largely static text). I have created a main report which includes the covering letter, holds a subreport for the datasheets, and then contains the text for the additional pages.  This all works fine, and I get the correct number of datasheets for each main report. My problem stems from the use of this sub report.  This sub-report needs to hold some attribute values for each datasheet, which is fine.  However, on each datasheet page I need to have some paragraphs, which are held in another one to many relationship.  Each datasheet may have up to six paragraphs held as a code in tblReportParas, with a relationship to the text as held in tblStandardParas. My original thought would have been to embed another sub report, containing the values from tblStandardParas!TEXT, into the first sub report.  However, I have found that it is not possible to have a sub-report inside another sub-report.  I had seperated the first sub-report out from the main report, and then embedded another sub-report into it.  This worked fine until I tried to stitch the sub-report back into the main report (at which point the sub-sub-report dissapeared from view). I have therefore reworked my sub-report a little, and the attribution is now stored in a pageheader, with the tblStandardParas!TEXT in a detail section below it.  This almost works! The only problem is that there is no relationship between the pageheader and detail sections.  To clarify, I would expect to have one datasheet, with the attribution at the top, and then the six paras below.  Then, the same on the next page (assuming there is a second datasheet) for that report.  Instead, I get the correct attribution, but the detail section actually gives every paragraph in the database, no matter which datasheet/or report it related to!  I therefore need to limit the detail section to only show those paragraphs where the SHEETID in tblReportParas is the same as the tblDatasheets SHEETID. Any offers of advice would be appreciated.

    I managed to resolve this myself in the end.  I moves the tblEnquiry data into report header/footer sections, this allowed me to add the tblDatasheets information into the details section, which gave me multiple pages - and then finally, the Paragraphs were added through the use of a sub report. 
    There's probably an even better way, but for now it works, it's quick - and so I'm going to go with it!

  • How to implement one to many relationship between two Document Line Table

    Hi,
    I want to implement the following relationship into user defined tables:
    Example Situation:
    There are tables A, B and C.
    For one record of Table A, there could be multiple records in table B.
    For one record of Table B, there could be multiple records in table C.
    i.e. A(1) -> B(n) [One to many relationship]
         B(1) -> C(n) [One to many relationship]
    finally: A(1) -> B(n) -> C(n)
    How can I achieve this? If I make Table A as Document and table B & C as Document Line and then make them UDO, will it work? Kindly suggest me a solution.
    Regards,
    Sudeshna.

    Hi,
    I think that the database representation is exactly what you ask for. 3 tables, A, B, C. A should have a UDF that is linked to B table, and B should have a UDF that is linked to C table.
    You should manage the database transactions, and the UI to support all this stuff.

  • One to Many Relationship Issue

    CA Forum: Formula
    I am having a problem in which I have a one to many relationship with contact phone numbers and students. In other words, one student can have multiple contacts. (I work for a school district)
    I made up two formulas...called Contact1Phone and Contact2Phone.
    Here is the code I use to display the data:
    IF {STUDCTCT.CNTNUMBER} in &#91;"C1"&#93; THEN STDUCTCT.CNTWPHONE
    Then the other formula does the same, except uses "C2".
    What I get is either C1 or C2 displays, but never both for the same student. Anyway to make this work? Any help on this would be greatly appreciated!

    CA Forum: Formula
    I forgot to add, I do know that placing STUDCTCT.CNTNUMBER in &#91;C1,C2&#93; as a selection then just simply place the CNTWPHONE field into the details section of the report will give me the results. But the reason why I am trying it the other way is that I can export the data as one record per student, thus I am trying to put the fields and formulas into the group section.

  • ONE-to-MANY relationship between tables and forms in APEX

    I recently started using APEX and I have run into an issue.
    I have a ONE-TO-MANY relationship between two tables, A1 and A2, respectively.
    A1:
    A1_ID
    Item
    A2:
    A2_ID
    SubItem
    A1_ID
    I have 2 forms (lets call it F1 and F2) that I use to capture data for A1 and A2.
    On F2, I have the following fields that are setup to capture data:
         A2.A1_ID
    **A1.Item (this is a drop down that is populated using a SELECT statement where the select uses A1.Item field)
         A2.SubItem (user would enter SubItem)
    Note: A2.A2_ID is populated using a SEQ
    Everytime I pick **A1.Item on F2, is there a way to link to A1 table and display A1.A1_ID for every **A1.Item selected on F2?
    If so, I want to store the value captured in F2 for the A1_ID field into A2 table to maintain my 1-to-MANY relationship.
    If this will work, how do I go about implementing this solution?
    Can someone help me?

    I think it sounds like you are asking for a Master-Detail form. Try that and see what you get.

  • How do I create a One to many relationship page in Dreamweaver?

    How do I create a page in dreamweaver that comes up after the user logs in from the log in page that will allow the user to:
    Add, change and delete in 2 tables that are in my MYSQL database that is a one to many relationship
    One thing that is confusing is how the foreign key that links to the one side of the relationship is created in the many side without the user inputting the foreign key each time adding information to the many side table.
    I am creating this in Dreamweaver using a MYSQL database and PHP.

    >Would the following be a part of it:
    >
    >Outer join
    Probably not. When updating/inserting/deleting from 2 tables you perform each seperately. Table updates may join two or more tables to resolve the correct row(s) but you still only update one table at a time. Procedurally you would create a transaction, update the first table, update the second table and then commit the transaction.
    EDIT: Well I take back my last comment. I see that MySQL does seem to support multiple table updates. I don't use MySQL so I can't really help you on that but the MySQL manual gives pretty clear syntax.

  • Newbie: one to many relationship SQL error

    Greetings all-
    This is probably a slam dunk for you JDO experts. I'm a JDO newbie, working
    with an existing schema in MySQL. I have a one to many relationship between
    two tables:
    Table "company":
    Fields:
    company_id: int(11) -- primary key
    name : varchar(64)
    division : varchar(64)
    Table "company_products"
    Fields:
    company_id: int(11) -- foreign key to table company
    product_name: varchar(64)
    product_description: varchar(64)
    So, I created the corresponding classes:
    public class Company {
    private int companyID;
    private String company_name;
    private String division;
    // Array of CompanyProduct
    private ArrayList companyProducts;
    // .. methods omitted
    public class CompanyProduct {
    private int companyID;
    private String productName;
    private String productDesc;
    // Methods omitted
    Then I created the "package.jdo" file:

    I know i have probably set up the package.jdo file incorrectly, but I'm at a
    loss for what I did wrong.
    Any suggestions?

    I have to pick distinct 'LPN' like below:That sounds like a job for "GROUP BY lpn".
    (any serial no can be picked for the distinct LPN)It looks like you're displaying the lowest serial_no for each lpn. That's easy to do, using the aggregate MIN function.
    results needs to be as below:
    serial no LPN
    1 4
    3 6
    6 3
    9 1
    Please suggest with sql.Here's one way:
    SELECT    MIN (serial_no)   AS serial_no
    ,         lpn
    FROM      table_x
    GROUP BY  lpn
    ORDER BY  lpn     -- if wanted
    I hope this answers your question.
    If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and also post the results you want from that data.
    Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
    Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

  • Summarizing data in a one-to-many relationship

    Post Author: Bob Amiral
    CA Forum: General
    I use an order tracking system that has a one to many relationship between the main order information file and the line items file.  For each order, there can be one or more items in the items file.  I am having no luck trying to summarize data in such a way that shows selected information from the order file with only a summary from the item file on one line.  Instead, the reports expands by adding a line for each and every entry from the item file that relates to the order.
    How can I summarize data from the item file to show only one line of item data in the same line as the order data?

  • One to many relationship leads to recursion?

    Hi,
    I've created a web services function which returns an object retrieved from a database using the persistence api (the class was generated by the Netbeans 5.5 "Entity Class from Database" feature.
    I can successfully return an object which has no foreign keys. However, when I try to retrieve an entity which is on either side of a 1:N relationship, I receive a stackOverflowError.
    Here's my sample schema (I'm using Derby bundled with SJAS 9 for testing)
    create table Address (
       Id int not null,
       StreetName varchar(255),
       City varchar(255),
       PostalCode varchar(255),
       Party int,
       primary key (Id)
    create table Party (
       Id int,
       Name varchar(255),
       primary key(Id)
    alter table Address add constraint foreign key (Party) references Party;So as you can see, one Party might have many addresses.
    I can retrieve either an Address or Party from the database using something like:
    em.createNamedQuery("Party.findById")
       .setParameter("id", 1)
       .getSingleResult();When I try to return it, I get a stackOverflowError in the server log. I'm using the default Toplink provider so enabling full logging on this, I can see the SQL.
    When retrieving an address, it selects all of the address fields and correctly binds the supplied Id value. It then performs a select on the Party table using the Address.Party value. This in turn causes it to attempt to retrieve an Address. After three queries, the error is thrown.
    I can't see why the above schema should cause this problem. Where an Address is requested, I would expect it to retrieve the address fields, including the value of the Party field but not the Party object itself. On the other hand. when a Party is retrieved, I would expect it to recurse through and return a collection of Address objects.
    Have I misunderstood this or am I missing some fundamental point about JAX-WS?
    Thanks for your help,
    -Phil

    You have to set both sides of the relations...
    for example to do this in a more seamless manner:
    public UserProfile
         public void addLog (UserActivityLog activity)
              logs.add (activity);
              if (!equals (activity.getUserProfile ()))
                   activity.setUserProfile (this);
    Now this is the most primitive of ways to maintain two sided relations.
    There are a lot of other patterns to get around this.
    If you want to set the UserActivityLog to a specific UserProfile without
    having a firm reference to ther UserProfile, you should get the object
    from the database/persistenceManager... as you are using application
    identity, you can do something like pm.getObjectById.
    JDO does not do magic references. If you set something to null, it will
    remain null until you set it.

    Hi Guys
    I am trying to create a one to many relationship between 2 JDOs.
    UserProfile - User JDO having user info
    UserActivityLog - JDO having user log info
    UserProfile -- UserActivityLog
    1 many
    UserProfile - has a collection of UserActivityLog objects
    UserActivityLog - has a reference to UserProfile
    Qn 1:
    I created a UserProfile along with a collection of 2 UserActivityLog
    objects.
    Navigation:
    Now given a UserProfile object,i am able to get the UserActivityLog objects.
    But given a UserActivityLog object ,i get a NULL UserProfile object.
    Issues:
    Why this is happening???Do i need to set the reference for "UserProfile" in
    UserActivityLog before inserting???
    If so,then how do i add a UserActivityLog to an existing
    UserProfile???cos,if i create a UserActivityLog with reference to
    UserProfile ,then it will throw a Duplicate Key violation for UserProfile as
    it is already persisted in DB.
    It will be great if you can direct me to some one to many relationship
    examples already implemented.

  • One-to-many relationship: problem with several tables on the one side...

    Hello
    I'm having problems developing a database for a content management system. Apart from details, I've got one main table, that holds the tree structure of the content ("resources") and several other tables that contain data of a particular datatype ("documents", "images", etc.). Now, there's one-to-many relationship between "resources" table and all the datatype tables - that is, in the "resources" table there's "resource_id" column, being a foreign key referenced to the "id" columns in the datatype tables.
    The problem is that this design is deficient. I can't tell form the "resource_id" column from which datatype table to get the data. It seems to me that one-to-many relationship only works with two tables. If the data on the one side of the relationship is contained in several tables, problems arise.
    Anybody knows a solution? I would be obliged.
