Offline Reporting with Excel? -- complete Report +hierarchy possible?

Hi people!
Im new in SAP BW and I have a question regarding BEX. My goal is to get a complete Excel report that contains all the data and has a working hierarchy structure without connection to BW!
I generated a report with Query Designer whose data are represented in several hierarchy levels (option in row-header).
=>date
===>area
=====>customer
=======>material
After the execution of the query in BEX Analyzer or in the web, only the highest level (date) is indicated. If I open the next levels, the data are reloaded of the BW each time.
But Id like to load the data completely despite hierarchy (Transaction RSRT and then properties load all data is selected).
Ok to get all the data, I could change the option in Query Designer to open all the levels after the first load, but the hierarchy levels should be closed at the first time.
<u>My Question is:</u>
Is there a possibility to get all the data offline in Excel with working hierarchy levels? Its important for me to get a complete report without connection to BW and so the people can navigate also offline, e.g. open a lower hierarchy level with all the data.
After saving my report as *.xls-file, the report contains only the part of the shown results and the hierarchy symbols have no function.
I dont need any symbols in offline report. I think, the excel function group by would enough for my requirements. But I dont know how can I use this function with my data after running the query.
In SAP R/3 the same is possible automatically, when a report will be generate.
I have tried to find responses here in forum. But the search is unfortunately a little complicated and the results were not satisfactory.
- Why I cant get a list of the main-topics?
- How can I get satisfactory results for multiple words?
OK, I have read something about OLE and BSP, but I hope to find an easier solution without programming.
Maybe the tool XL Reporter would be a solution, but we have no Business One licence. Unfortunately, current links for download a free version (I dont know if its free), which I found here in the forum are not working for me. Whats wrong with XL Reporter?
I would be glad about helpful replies.

Hi Eugene!
Thanks for your trouble and sorry for the late answer, but unfortunately I had to do a lot.
I think, to describe my idea is not so easy with my English. But maybe you can understand it.
First I should say, the web report and the offline Excel report are two different things now. I don't save the webreport to excel.
The web report gets a hierachy and other formatings and with access to BW the user can use the report just as one likes.
My idea for the offline Excel report is to save the complete data without hierarchy or other formattings. So every characteristic and every key figure is in a separate column and all rows contains data.
date/area/customer/material/sales volume/other kf
01.11.2005/100/34567/66000/34.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/34567/67000/23.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/34567/68000/14.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/34567/69000/43.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/40200/33000/11.000 euro/... (new customer)
01.11.2005/100/40200/44000/10.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/40200/68000/35.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/100/40200/69000/22.000 euro/...
Then the created Excelsheet should be handled by vba.
As far as I know, you can select the data in Excelsheet with normal SQL commands. If the corresponding data are selected, I try to use the group by function in vba code.
So first I select the materials from the first customer. If I found the next customer I want to group all materials for the previous customer.
The Result should look so: (+ -> to open the materials)
01.11.2005/100/34567/__/+____________/...
Sum_______/___/_____/__/114.000 euro /...
01.11.2005/100/40200/ /+____________/...
Sum_______/___/_____/__/ 78.000 euro /...
The next Step is to group all customer in one area.
01.11.2005/100/+_____/__/____________/...
Sum_______/___/______/__/192.000 euro/...
01.11.2005/200/+_____/__/____________/...
Sum_______/___/______/__/320.000 euro/...
And the last point is to group all areas per date.
01.11.2005/+___/_____/__/____________/...
Sum_______/____/_____/__/512.000 euro/...
02.11.2005/+___/_____/__/____________/...
Sum_______/____/_____/__/433.000 euro/...
Now If I have a hierarchy structure, the offline user of the report can open the single levels to see the details.

Mimes in "Print Web Report with Excel"

Hi all,
i am using the "How to.." Paper to implement the functionality for Printing Web Reports with Excel. I also Modify the Table during the rendering with the Modify Table Interface to set some mimes instead of inidcators in one column. The Export
into Excel Works Fine but after saving that Report in Excel, and reopen it i have
to confirm a Security Dialog / re-login . I think this is because of the mimes which refer to the WAS.
Now my Question :
Is it possible to get a result ( Exported Report into Excel with MIMES ) and avoid
a re login. I mean, to export the Mimes also.
Many Thanks in advance for your Help.
Best Regards
Ali Touzlatzi

Hi Prakash,
Thank you so much for your reply.
I looked for LRSR_XLS_EXPORTF01 under program, I found the program but when I clicked into it, it prompt "there is no object list for INCLUDEs"
We have the export as excel implemented for sure. Do you think someone changed the name, or this name cannot be changed. I am new to ABAP too, but I am a programmer. Can you guide me the best way to trace this program?
Again, I appreciate you help.

Converting a Crystal Report with Many Sub-Reports into CF Report Builder

I am trying to rewrite a Crystal Reports report which has 11
subreports in CF Report Builder. In the CR report, each subreport
has it's own report footer seciton. I have not been able to find
anything in CF Report Builder that allows me to do the same. Is CF
Report Builder capable of producing a report with multiple
subreports?

Having successfully created a report with 5 or 6 subreports
(with each sub-report containing a multiple sub-sub reports) I can
say with confidence, "Yes you can." However the real question you
should ask is, "
Should I create a report with multiple sub-reports in CF
ReportBuilder?" And the answer to that is.... NO, WHAT ARE YOU
CRAZY!
If you have something that works in Crystal Reports I would
suggest you stick with that. Otherwise you're setting yourself up
for a lot of headaches. Now maybe it was because I started using
the report builder that came with MX7, but it seems there are still
quite of few bugs that will leave you shaking your fist at your
computer. If however you do continue and do the CF Report Builder
route, be prepared for your application to crash unexpectedly, and
for many things to not work they way you expect them to. And if you
ever need help good luck. Take the fact that you had difficulty
finding good documentation as a sign of how little Adobe supports
this product.
CF Report Builder is fine for very simple reports, but don't
get fancy with it, you'll only regret your decision in the
end.

You can use BI publisher for your requirement -
Create a Concurrent program which is based on the executable 'XDODTEXE'
The Short_Name of the concurrent program should be the same as the data_definition short_name from Xml Publisher responsibility.

Run BI Publisher report (with Excel template) on Windows 7

Hi, All.
Sorry for my English :)
I have some problem:
I use BIP standalone for my reports. Some reports are in Excel (with Excel template). When I run it on PC with WinXP - all is OK. But, when I try to run it on PC with Win7, then Excel is opening and writing this "Native file format and file extension does not mismatch. Before open be sure of file does not damage" (this is my translation). If I try save file on the hard disk, then file is 0 kb. But if a report has RTF-template, then it opening normaly on Win7's PC.
Have you any ideas?
Thanks!

option1:
The query should be same @ detail level, only the template has to be different for summary and details.
@runtime, user can choose to see the detail/summary
Disadvantage, if the data is huge,
advantage , only one report.
option2:
create two separate reports summary and details
and create diff data and diff layout and keep it as different report
Advantage, query will perform based on the user run report, summary/detail, so that you can write efficient query.
Dis advantage , two reports query/template to be maintained.

- we want that only shows Description but with plus sign of hierarchy.
How can we achieve this?
Thanks and regards,

Number stored as text (in jsp report with excel output)

Hi
I created a jsp report for excel output. I see that the numbers are left aligned with a green traingle on the top of each cell. Was just wondering how can I resolve this and have my numbers displayed as numbers - right aligned and with no green triangle. Is there some setting I have to make explicitly so that numbers appear as numbers in excel output?
Thx!

Hi Sasidar,
In Excel right click the column select format cells and then select the format as text which is general by default.

Crystal Reports with VS2005 - Load Report failed Error....

Post Author: rajeshvijayan
CA Forum: Older Products
Hi,
I am running Crystal Reports viewer on IIS6.0 and windows server 2003, which was installed using the redistributable package that comes along with Visual Studio 2005. We open these reports through a web based application 1 which is run on a different application pool on IIS. We have about 3 to 4 other web applications runing on the same IIS. All the other Web applications are working fine.
This web application 1 has 2 parts - one is the normal data display quiries from the back end SQL server 2005 and the other is the Crystal Reports which also quires data from SQL Server 2005. At times i find that these reports all of them throw an error - Load Report Failed. At the same time the Part 1 of this application does work fine in showing the data that is queried from the database. Moreover at this stage, I dont find any errors in the Event viewer. If i restart this application pool alone, the reports starts working fine again.
I had gone through a few of the news groups and have made all the necessary permission related changes like the TEMP Folder, ASP.NET temporary folder, the folder in which the crystal reports is placed etc but still the same error throws up after some point in time. Wanted to know if there is any special configuration required on the Application pool when it comes to Crystal Reports. We have bout 10 to 15 users using this application for testing and it only throws this error at times and not always.
Looking forward to any kind of solution from your side.
Regards
Rajesh

Yes I too have been fighting this problem. I was using a XML Data file and schema file for my u201Cdatabase templateu201D in the report. I would then run my query using the .NET SQLClient then fill the report with my dataset table using the SetDataSource method from the ReportDocument object.
I tried both embedded and runtime loaded reports all worked fine on my development machine but would NOT work on my production server. I use all the server installs, played with user rights, registering DLLu2019s still nothing. I went as far as creating a winform app to fix the problem. I then had exactly the same problem, I was catching the error and it originated from the viewer control in both winform and webforms.
What finally worked for me was to attach to the database using OLE DB instead of XML/schema (xml/xsd) datasource then pasting my SQL Query into the database connection command this gave me the fields to build the report. I actually used the u201CSet Database Locationu201D Dialog in Crystal Reports so I didnu2019t have to redesign my report. This dialog works very weird but I managed to figure it out. I then used an embedded report and all seem to be well. I think there is a problem with the Crystal Reports .NET Server Install and Merge Modules used with .NET with XML files, but I cannot be sure, all I know is this worked for me.
I am concerned that if my database server is moved or renamed my report might break because the server connection is embedded in the report, but for right now it is working. I thought that was the reason for using the xsd file was to eliminate the dependence on a server connection in the report.
Good luck and I hope this helps you fix your problem too. If it does please let me know I have see so many reports of people asking questions about this problem and it seems like most are left hanging.

How can I have Main report with a sub-report with in a sub-report??

I have a main report that has about 5 subreports, almost like a dashboard. I need to make one of those subreports contain another subreport.
I don't have the option to add a sub-report with in my sub-report, so what I thought would work is remove my sub-report from my main report, then add my new sub-report, then add that report back to my main report.
Everytime I add the sub-report that has a sub-report to my main report I lose the second sub.
From what I've read on the internet is you can't have a sub-report contain another sub-report. What some say is you can hyperlink that second sub report.
When I setup my hyper link to open the second sub-report I'm prompted to re-enter my report parameters.
Can some help me link a sub-report to a sub-report or show me how to pass a date range parameter in my hyper link so the reports just opens up?
I'm using CR IX R2
Thanks

Nate,
You are dealing with a product limitation. Crystal cannot have nested subreports within a sub report.
You can generally use shared variables between sub reports to achieve your desired result

Deploying Crystal Reports with IIS - Load Report Failed

Post Author: jeremyrarextreme
CA Forum: Deployment
Hi
We have installed Crystal Reports Developer XI release 2 with Visual Studio 2005 to implement a very simple app that allows a crystal report to be loaded via the web. This works perfectly fine when I publish my build from Visual Studio 2005 (using the built in cystal controls) and go view in browser.
Everything looks fine when I run the app from Visual Studio by clicking view in browser - the crystal report loads and everything is how it should be.
When I publish the build on our production server (a Windows 2003 server running IIS6) I get the error: Load Report Failed
A full detailing of this error can be found on this forum post: http://aspadvice.com/blogs/rjdudley/archive/2005/05/18/2591.aspx
where many other people are having the same issue.
I have struggled for a very long time to find a solution to this, how do I resolve this issue?
when I try to view the .net 2.0 project from a browser running through IIS It displays the business objects toolbar but returns the error: Load Report Failed
When I run this in my development environment directly from Visual Studio 2005 it works perfectly fine and loads the report.
The report path is perfectly fine and correct, we have permissions on all folders for read, write and execute for both general user / admin accounts and IIS accounts on the Windows 2003 Server.
We also have full permissions on c:/temp and c:/windows/temp
What else can I do to make this work!
Many thanks and awaiting your reply

Interactive report with detail sub-report on the same page

Hi all,
I'm fairly new to APEX, sorry if my question is too obvious. I'm using Apex 4.0.2 on top of Oracle 11.2.
I have an interactive report listing the content of a table. Since there are many columns in that table I would the report to show only a few identifying columns and the complete record currently selected being displayed using another report in a separate region on the same page.
The "Link Column" on the interactive report does almost that except that it jumps on another page; I would like to simply have a sub-report updated with the selected data instead of a new page displayed. Does anyone know how to do that?
Thanks for your help,
Chris

Chris,
this sounds like what I normally do in my referential data.
I use the wizard to create "form with report"
I make sure that both regions (the form and the report) will be set on the same page number
then I check/change the order of the regions (report first, form second)
then I set the form to display in column 2
regards,
Richard
P.S. the report only shows enough columns to recognize the records. the form shows all records
