Number Format was missing in XML report

In the RTF report template, I formated all data by MS word and had number format like #,##0.00, then I reviewed the PDF output in local with the XML data, and it displayed in the correct format. But when I ran the same report by concurrent program in EBS, I found some data missing the format, e.g
The number should be "123,456.00", but it became "123,456."
It's strange that this happen sometimes, I don't know if it is a bug..
Please give me a hand, thanks a million.
Regards,
Sak

Hi.
Maybe your XML output from concurrent request is influenced by settings for "ICX: Numeric Characters" profile option. I have similar issue now as well...

Number formatting issue in Web intelligence report

Folks ,
I've an object called ' Serial number' (12 digits long) but when I set this in query filter as a prompt number format gets changed.
Similar like this:
whereas I am expecting to see 123456789123 something like this.
I made sure that object data type is number while designing universe as well as also format the object ( using format object option) and set as ############. ( 12times #) to forced as 12 digits number.
When I drag this object in 'result objects' results shows fine but if i add this as 'Query Filters' number gets changed as above pic.
Any advise ?
Cheers,
iTanzir

Hai Itanzir
Try to create a dimension variable in universe and choose the data type as string. Please check this and let me know for issues, if any.

Incorrect number format appearing in report

This might sound like a really silly question, but I've not had much need to faff around with changing number formats.
We have a report which is taking a number column and outputting it directly, but when the number is something like 0.1234 it strips the 0 and outputs it as .1234.
I imagine that this is something to do with the nls-settings of the client producing the report, but I need to make sure it outputs the value as 0.1234
I've come up with the following, but I'm not sure that it's the simplest solution:
SQL> select to_char(1235.234,'fm9999999990.9999999999') from dual;
TO_CHAR(1235.234,'FM99
1235.234
SQL> select to_char(4.2333, 'fm9999999990.9999999999') from dual;
TO_CHAR(4.2333,'FM9999
4.2333
SQL> select to_char(.3992, 'fm9999999990.9999999999') from dual;
TO_CHAR(.3992,'FM99999
0.3992It seems to work, but seems a bit OTT to me - like I'm using a big JCB digger truck to dig a hole so I can plant a tulip bulb.
Are there any better solutions out there?

Actually, I've just kicked off the PL/SQL procedure that produces the report (as a text file, via utl_file) from my machine, and the output is the same - 0.1234 is output as .1234.
Hmm, and:
SQL> select 0.1234 from dual;
0.1234
.1234Question is, is there a simpler/more elegant way of getting the missing 0 displayed than what I've already come up with? (I don't like it much because it assumes that there won't be more than the specified number of digits before and after the decimal point. It's unlikely that there would be, but even so...)

Format number not working correctly in XML Publisher Report

Hi,
I have requirement to print sum(column1) with number format with commas on the header.
I tried giving <?format-number:sum(//CURRENT_COST);'99G990D00'?> this formula is sum current cost column and displaying as 140.253.123.00 but i want to display the same as 140,253,123.00
i even tried <?xdoxslt:xdo_format_number_l(sum(CURRENT_COST),'999G999D99','EN-us')?> but its even giving the same result as 140.253.123.00
Please let me know if anyone had the same issue.
Thanks.

Hi,
You can't mix the XMLP extended functions (ie anything prefixed with xdofx) with xsl functions (see user guide - Extended SQL and XSL Functions).
You could look at using the Choose statement or doing a set of IF statements
ie <?if:CURRENCY='JPY'?>format...<?end if?><?if:CURRENCY...<?end if?>
If you go with the multiple IF statements you will probably need to use <?if@inlines:CURRENCY='JPY'?> otherwise you will get carriage returns (see IF statements in boilerplate text in the user guide).
Thanks

Page numbering
Insert page numbers into your final report by using the page numbering methods of your word processing application. For example, if you are using Microsoft Word:
1. From the Insert menu, select Page Numbers...
2. Select the Position, Alignment, and Format as desired.

Number format issue in XML Publisher from OAF (',.' is replaced by 'u n')

Hi All,
I am facing a problem in XML Publisher report. In report I need to display some number fields with 'USD' format. In RTF, data type 'Number' and format '###,##0.00' is selected. If I run concurrent program from oracle core forms using System Administrator > Concurrent > Request, I am able to get correct number format.
Ex : 123456.00 After Number format : 123,456.00
Also its working fine from XML Publisher Administrator responsibility (using Preview).
But problem is when I submit the concurrent request through OAF, I am not getting correct data. ',' is replace by 'u' and '.' is replace by 'n'.
Ex: 123456.00 In Report 123u456n00
Checked profile value : ICX: Numeric Character and its set to 1,000.00 at site level.
Do I need to set character set anywhere in OAF before calling concurrent program?
I tried to use "alter session set nls_numeric_character = ',.';" by calling stored procedure from OAF. But still its not working.
Please give me solution for this.

Sadanand

Xml report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS

How to get xml publisher report output in excel format without using options tab in EBS?

Sandeep V

Hey Sandeep,
I am working on a similar format for a report and if possible can you please give me some guidelines. I have initially created reports using XML Publisher, but for those , the output preview format was PDF. So, if I select the preview format as EXCEL will it give me output in Excel and for this to happen, how do I define the rtf template. I believe the working will be same as for PDF, create a rdf report, get output in XML and apply the template to get the data in Excel or there is something different to this.
Thanks,

Numerical Characters Formatting Problem With XML Report Output Run From Command Line

Hi,
Problem description is:
When a BI Publisher concurrent job is submitted as a child job of a PL/SQL type concurrent request, the locale in OPP is not set same as of RTF template selected. This results in number format and date format localization not work as expected. For example, when BI Publisher child job is submitted after attaching RTF template (through fnd_request.add_layout API) having language-territory as de-DE, the number format on PDF output comes out as 9,999.00 instead of 9.999,00.
Points to notice:
1. In OPP log we noticed that xslt._XDOLOCALE always has value EN-GB irrespective of language-territory of attached RTF template
2. NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTER column in fnd_concurrent_request table has no value for BI Publisher job. We can set it up through fnd_request.set_options API but it is not a desired solution. We need that OPP should automatically choose correct number format depending on locale of selected RTF template
3. When same child BI Publisher job's output is re-processed through "XML Publisher Report" program and de-DE locale is chosen for RTF template then the number format localization works fine.
Please help us to understand root cause of this issue and how it can be resolved.
Thanks!

How to change number format in web reports

Hi, Experts,

XML report missing style sheet location

Hi all
I am having a issue regarding XML report generated by TestStand. I am using a custom style based heavy off NI example style sheet horizontal.xsl. The report generation works correctly on my development system however when the sequence is deployed onto runtime machine the header to the XML report is missing the style sheet location. i.e:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
Rather than:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?><?xml-stylesheet type="text/xsl" href="G:\Test\ATE4000_Production_Test_Results\T6MK6\Style_Sheets\T6MK6_PAS_Test_Sheet.xsl"?>
If anyone has any idea what might be causing this issues i would be very greatful for any advice.
Many Thank
D.Barr
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the reply.
I found the issue. I was determining the location of the style sheet using a registery key. The registry key contained double slashes which resulted in the style sheet not being found. I.e.. C:\\Test\\T6MK6_PAS_Test_Sheet.xsl. With single slashes the program worked as excepted.
Thanks again

Problem with the number format in the graph axis with Report Generation Toolkit.

Hi!
I'm trying to use the Report Generation Toolkit to plot some graphs in Excel.
My first problem is that I don't know how to configure the number format in the Excel Set Graph Font.vi so that my numbers are correctly displayed in the graph's axis. The only given option is general (0,0) but this is not enough for me, my numbers can get really small so I need engineering notation or fraccional format.
Second: I also insert a table with the graph source data, but the numbers are not correctly displayed either: for example:
0,75 is shown as:
0,750000
but 1,25 is shown as:
1!250!000
My guess is I am making to much or wrong string to number conversions or Excel is getting it wrong but I can't find my way...
Can someone help me with this?
Thanks,
Isabel

Here is my VI, it's just a trial so it can look messy...

XML Report in text format

Hi,
Can any one help how to create a XML report so that i should be saved in text format OR is there any way where when you click on view output a dialog box with open, save and cancel option appears so that i can save the output in required format.
Thanks,
Dinesh..

Hi Dinesh,
Can any one help how to create a XML report so that i should be saved in text format
While defining the respective concurrent program set the output to 'TEXT'. You can do this by:
Sysadmin > Concurrent > Program > Define ; and the select or define the program that you want the output to as TEXT
In the OUTPUT field ensure to have the type as 'TEXT'.
is there any way where when you click on view output a dialog box with open, save and cancel option appears so that i can save the output in required format.
Alternative to the above, while submitting the request after selecting your desired concurrent request , click on Option and change the output type.
Hope this Helps!
Thanks &

If a Custom field is defined as Text in Project Server, but is actualy a number field, is it possible to number format it in a report (BI)?

The users have defined the field as Text, and now the field contains data, so it is not possible to change the type.
While including the field in the Report and choosing number format, it is not getting formatted (for example, if I want seperators like a comma for thousand).
Is it possible?
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
I don't think so you can directly format a text field as number in SSRS. For doing this first you have to convert your text field into Integer or Decimal (whatever is your requirement) into SQL query.
Then using SSRS textbox properties you can define the number format also can use the 1000 separator from SSRS then.
To perform this, I have created a "Test" table with 2 columns only "ProjectName" varchar(50) and ProjectDuration Varchar(9).
Then using SQL query first I converted ProjectDuration datatype from Varchar to INT using below query
SELECT ProjectName, CONVERT(int,ProjectDuration) ProjectDuration
FROM Test
Then using SSRS interface changed the ProjectDuration tect box property like this
That's all I am getting below desire result
Hope this helps you and let me know in case have any doubts.
Thanks !!!
