Multiple values in a single cell in report !!

Hello,
I want to display multiple values in a single cell, each value separated by comma.
Ex: I have Employee and Department.
If a employee works for many departments, all the Department names should be displayed in the same cell in the report.
Please help !

Thanks for your replies !
Is there any other way to achieve this ?
There is 1 InfoObject which has 2 fields Employee and Department.
Employee     Department
001                A
001                B
001                C
In the report there should be 1 row for Employee 001 with all the Departments displayed in the same cell separated by commas.
Can this be done in the backend through a ABAP code?

How to allow multiple values in a single blank cell in WebI report

Hi
I am working in BO XIR2. I have a scenario as follows.
In a single cell (blank cell from template) i need to display multiple contact persons. When I drag the contact person name into the blank cell, I am getting an error: MULTIVALUE). Please let me know how to use a function so that I can show two or three contact person names in a single blank cell.
I tried to use Replace and Char function as follows to bring Carriage Return functionality to the cell.
Replace([Contact Person]; ";" ; Char(13)) but this did not work.
Thanks in Advance.

BOUser11:
I know this thread has been answered. I recently came across a scenario where I happen to populate multiple values in a single blank cell(from templates). But the only catch being that if user enters multiple values for a prompt you can show them in a single cell eg: =UserResponse("Enter value(s) for Branch:"). would be the formula for the blank cell. Afetr the user selects three values say A, B,C, webi puts it in the format of A;B;C. in a single cell.
In your case try giving that as a prompt to the user or answer that multi prompt some how and when u use the above formula it should suffice your requirement.
Let me know if you have tried.
Thanks,

What is the prolem you are facing if you split the single date param as two parameters say startdate and enddate?
If you pass as single string then you might have to split the same at reciever end.
Are you trying any thing specific?

Any way to pass Multiple Values for a single Label in the Parameter?

I have a Report that Contains 2 Parameters, @Customer & @Area. When trying to set up the Available Values for @Area, I'm having issues using multiple values for one Label, i.e. = "4006" Or "4610"
One of the Filters in the Report is an Operation number, which is the [OPERATION] field, which is setup as a filter on the Tablix referencing the @Area parameter.
PROBLEM: I cannot retrieve any data when trying to use the ‘Or’ Operator here. If I simply put “4006” or “4610” I retrieve data, but when trying to combine it returns no data.
Example, I need to allow a user to select ‘Chassis Incoming’, which would include data from Operations 4006 & 4610.
QUESTION:
Any way to pass Multiple Values for a single Label in the Parameter?
I realize the typical solution may be to use ‘Multi-Value’ selection, but in this case we want the User to select the Area and the multiple values for Filtering will be automatically determined for them. Otherwise, they are subject to not getting
it correct.
I have tried several different ways, such as =”4006” Or “4610”, =(“4006”, “4610”), = In(“4006”, “4610”), etc….
Note: We are using Report Builder 3.0

Based on my experience, there's no way to 'intercept' the query that gets passed back to SQL Server, so a Split wouldn't work.
Try creating either a function or stored procedure using the code below (compliments to
http://www.dotnetspider.com/resources/4680-Parse-comma-separated-string-SQL.aspx) to parse the string:
CREATE FUNCTION dbo.Parse(@Array VARCHAR(1000), @Separator VARCHAR(10))
RETURNS @ResultTable TABLE (ParseValue VARCHAR(100))AS
BEGIN
DECLARE @SeparatorPosition INT
DECLARE @ArrayValue VARCHAR(1000)
SET @Array = @Array + @Separator
WHILE PATINDEX('%' + @Separator + '%' , @Array) <> 0
BEGIN
SELECT @SeparatorPosition = PATINDEX('%' + @Separator + '%', @Array)
SELECT @ArrayValue = LEFT(@Array, @SeparatorPosition - 1)
INSERT @ResultTable VALUES (CAST(@ArrayValue AS VARCHAR))
SELECT @Array = STUFF(@Array, 1, @SeparatorPosition, '')
END
RETURN
END
Once created you can do things like this:
SELECT * FROM Parse('John,Bill,David,Thomas', ',')
SELECT * FROM (SELECT 'John' AS TestName union select 'David' AS TestName) AS Main
WHERE TestName IN (SELECT ParseValue FROM dbo.Parse('John,Bill,David,Thomas', ','))
This is what your SQL query would probably look like:
SELECT OperationID, OperationName FROM dbo.Operations
WHERE AreaID IN (SELECT ParseValue FROM dbo.Parse(@Area, ','))
You may need to fiddle around with the Separator depending on whether SQL Server inserts a space between the comma and next value.

Passing multiple values to a single input parameter

Hi folks,
I have a Microstrategy query successfully passing input parameter to a calculation view. For example I can pass a movement type to a material movements calculation view input parameter. However if I try to pick more than one movement type the query then fails;
Generated SQL that works looks like this;
select
sum(a11.TOTALQUANTITY) WJXBFS1
from
"_SYS_BIC"."MyPackage/CA_TEST_PASS_PARAMETER"
('PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$MoveType$$', '101')
a11
When choosing more than one value in Microstrategy the SQL now fails and looks like this;
select
sum(a11.TOTALQUANTITY) WJXBFS1
from
"_SYS_BIC"."MyPackage/CA_TEST_PASS_PARAMETER"
('PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$MoveType$$', '101'),
'PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$MoveType$$', '103'))
a11
If I cut and paste the SQL and run directly in HANA studio the error is;
Could not execute 'select sum(a11.TOTALQUANTITY) WJXBFS1 from "_SYS_BIC"."MyPackage/CA_TEST_PASS_PARAMETER" ...' in 66 ms 361 µs .
SAP DBTech JDBC: [2048]: column store error: search parameter error: [2018] A received argument has an invalid value;TABLE/VIEW parameter: ( 'PLACEHOLDER'='$$MoveType$$, 103') not supported
Is it possible to pass multiple values in a single parameter? I'm using SP67 for this test.
Thanks,
-Patrick

Ravi, also to answer one of your questions about how this will work in Microstrategy; I just heard back from my Microstrategy developer and he is trying MSTR Freeform SQL query with syntax like this;
select (sumPAR_TEST.TOTALQUANTITY TOTALQUANTITY
from "_SYS_BIC"."MyPackage/CA_TEST_PASS_PARAMETER"
('PLACEHOLDER' =('$$MoveType$$', '[Movement Type]')) PAR_TEST
In this example [Movement Type] is the microstrategy prompt. Unfortunately though it translates like this which is missing extra single quotes around each value;
select     sum(PAR_TEST.TOTALQUANTITY) TOTALQUANTITY
from     "_SYS_BIC"."development.pr1959/CA_TEST_PASS_PARAMETER"
('PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$MoveType$$', ''101', '102''))   PAR_TEST
instead of what we need which is;
('PLACEHOLDER' = ('$$MoveType$$', '''101'', ''102'''))   PAR_TEST
So at this point we are not sure if this will be possible or not.

Is there a way to add multiple borders to a single cell with one click or do I have to add one border at a time for example, one cell with borders on three sides?

I would like to know if there is a way to add multiple borders to a single cell or selection of cells in one click. At this time, if i want to add for example a top border and a bottom border to a single cell I have to do this in two steps: first select the top border, style, thickness, and color, and then next select the bottom border, style, thickness, and color. Is there a way to select the top and bottom border of a cell in one click? Clicking on the top border then holding down the command key while selecting the bottom border does not work, nor does holding down the option key, the control key, or the shift key work. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the suggestion but this did not work for my Mac. When a cell is selected for which I want borders, the entire cell is lit up. Then when I go to the border tool and select style, thickness, and color, the entire lit up cell takes on the border, that is the Outside Edges of the cell now have a border. So selecting the style, thickness, and color first doesn't work.
If I select the top border first (or any border), the drop down goes away and I can't select multiple borders - I get to choose one at a time. After selecting one border, style, thickness, and color, said border is now on the spreadsheet. Then I go back to the border selection and pick another border and the the previously selected style, thickness, and color reverts to null, so I start over with the new border style, thickness, and color. Yes, it is tedious.
The Fix would allow the user to select multiple borders, say left and right, before the drop down goes away after selecting only one border
Does it have something to do with Allow or Disallow border selection?

Library Filters: Filter for multiple values in a single column and Wildcards

If you have a multi-value column in a library, can you filter to show only results where two (or more) specific values (terms) are applied? E.g. Year 2014 and Month January? Seems this would be particularly useful for Enterprise Keywords columns.
Similarly, is there any way to filter on one value OR another value in a single column (e.g. Document Type Memo OR Fax)?
Any way to use wildcards in searches (would be REALLY useful in the Title and Name columns when naming conventions have been followed).
I'm guessing the answer is going to be 'move to SharePoint 2013' - if that is the case, please confirm whether all the scenarios mentioned above are catered for.

Thanks for your replies !

Hi,
I think you can use place holders to put these three values seperatly and set an action property on the placeholder. Is the values in the hyperlink are static or dynamic ?

Multiple values from a single function to be used SQL

I have some pl/sql code that calculates multiple values in the same procedure (multiple out parameters).
Now I want to use these separate values in an SQL select.
One way to do it, is creating functions for each separate value.
Performance wise, I don't want to do so.
I created an object type with 9 number values.
A function returns the object type and I select it in a subquery.
The outer query then selects 3 different values from the object in the subquery.
Unfortunately, a query with 3 rows still results in the function being called 9 times (3 row x 3 values).
Is there a way to force the object function being called just once per row ?
Or is there an alternative way?
I've tried pipelined functions but then I have trouble with the input values for the function that should be taken from another select.
result will be a view with a key value and the calculated values
SELECT key_value, calculated_value1, calculated_value2, calculated_value3
FROM SOME_TABLE

DROP TABLE TBL
CREATE TABLE TBL(
ID NUMBER(10),
CODE VARCHAR2(20),
PARENT NUMBER(10)
INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(1,'A',1);
INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(2,'B',1);
INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(3,'C',1);
INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(4,'D',2);
INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(5,'E',2);
INSERT INTO TBL VALUES(6,'F',2);
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE pck_test IS
TYPE t_rec IS RECORD(
value1 NUMBER,
value2 NUMBER,
value3 NUMBER);
TYPE t_tab IS TABLE OF pck_test.t_rec;
FUNCTION calculate(i_id NUMBER) RETURN pck_test.t_tab
PIPELINED;
END pck_test;
CREATE OR REPLACE PACKAGE BODY pck_test IS
FUNCTION calculate(i_id NUMBER) RETURN pck_test.t_tab
PIPELINED IS
v_return t_rec;
BEGIN
v_return.value1 := 1 * i_id;
v_return.value2 := 2 * i_id;
v_return.value3 := 3 * i_id;
PIPE ROW(v_return);
RETURN;
END;
END pck_test;
now I can use the pipelined function:
SELECT 1 id, x.value1, x.value2, x.value3
FROM TABLE(pck_test.calculate(1)) x
id is hard-coded in this select with value 1
I want to use TBL.id as the argument for the calculate function.
I don't know how. I tried this...
SELECT parent, ID, multi_values.value1, multi_values.value2, multi_values.value3
FROM (
SELECT ID, TABLE(pck_test.calculate(ID)) multi_values
FROM TBL)
Then the SELECT will be stored as a view.
In an application, the view will be queried:
select value1, value2, value3
from view
where parent = :parameter

How can i pass multiple values by a single variable to EXECUTE IMMEDIATE

Hi All,
I want to pass multiple values for where condition for execute immediate. Something Like this:-
bold
Declare
v_cond varchar(1000);
Begin
v_cond := '''INR','USD'''; --(OPTION 1)
v_cond := 'INR,USD'; --(OPTION 2)
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'Delete from table where colm in (:v_cond)' using v_cond;
END;
bold
I am using this into a procedure
Now option 1 gives an error ie a syntax error (; expected or something like that)(I am sorry, i can't tell the exact error here as i am not in the office right now)
and option 2 makes the procedure execute but obviously doesn't delete the records, as it takes the whole as one.
Please Help

Copy and Paste Multiple lines into a single cell

Folks:
I need to copy some plain text data into a single cell that has been merged with other cells to provider a larger unit; however, every time I copy and paste my data it gives me an error. In addition, if I paste the data into a single cell, the next line
of data inserts into the next row.
I understand that Alt+enter is a quick way to do what I want, but I already have the data typed out, and I do not want to type the data again.
Example: (If possible I want in one single cell)
Disks=32
Total space=1.74TB
Used space=1.20TB
Free space=0.54TB
Thank you!!!

Is there any way to do this but keep the source formatting? I don't see any "Paste Special" options when you do it this way.
That is not possible - when you copy/paste this way, you only copy the plain text, not the formatting. You'll have to apply formatting to the cell with pasted lines from scratch.

How to return multiple values in a single field in oracle 10g reports

I have written a formula column using cursor for loop which returns 3 values. But whenever i am assigning the formula column as the source of a field which is inside a repeating frame the field in only showing the first value returned from the formula column. The rest two values are not shown. Please help what to do.

If I understand your issue, you should set the vertical elasticity of the repeating frame to 'Variable' or 'Expand'. It is likely set to 'Fixed'.
Hope this helps,

How to insert multiple values from a single LOV box...?(cont)

Hi..I have a medical form and under the conclusions box, I have set up a LOV with various values. That part works fine.
The thing is I do not want to pick a single value. The format which I write in the conclusions in that box is
1. "............"
2. " "
3...etc...
But when I go to choose the 2nd value, it replaces the first one I had inserted. Any tips please??

"My way", should have done exactly that. Every time you open the lov and choose a value it should be aapended to the already existing value in the textfield (assuming taht the length of the textfield is long enough)."
-Well thats the thing, If I try to add more than one value into ONE text field when I open up the LOV..it just replaces the first value with teh second value. Right now wihtout the LOV this is the format it gets stored into the database. The conclusions are typed in manually and when i query from sql plus it comes the way I typed it in. For example:
1. Mild concentric LVH
2. Normal LV systolic function ; EF 75 %
3. Diastolic dysfunction
I just copy/pasted that from sql. This is saved in a column in a table named ProcedureSummary. I want to insert values exactly this way into one field. Except when i do that currently with the LOV, it replaces the old value with a new value.
I hope i make sense, sorry for the bother!
