Refresh Webi report with merged cells in crosstab in PowerPoint

Hello,
I have created a Webi report with a crosstab. In this crosstab I have merged some cells in the top left corner and inserted a title for the crosstab. Now I want to import the crosstab in PowerPoint with Live Office. The problem is, that after the import in PowerPoint the cells are not merged anymore. So I merged them manually. When I refresh the crosstab, the cells are still merged in PowerPoint, but they are empty.
Any ideas how to solve this issue?

BOXIR2 FP4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Incorrect data

Issue: BOXIR2 FP 4.6 -WebI report with merged dimensions: Max value of an object from second query is displayed in the report even when the formula is based on the object from the first Query.
Data displays properly on BOXIR2 SP2.
Steps to reproduce.
1.Use u2018Island Resort Marketingu2019 Universe to create a WebI report.
2. Create a Query with objects u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/1/2001 an Run the query.
3. Add a second Query with the same objects i.e. u2018Reservation Dateu2019 and u2018Future guestsu2019 and apply a query filter where the u2018Reservation Dateu2019 is between 1/1/2001 and 31/12/2001.
4. Create a report variable MaxDate using the syntax "=Max([Query 1].[Reservation Date]) In Report"
5. Use the objects u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019, u2018Future guests Query 2u2019 and u2018MaxDateu2019 variable to create a table in the report.
You will find the Maxdate column displays Max date values of u2018Reservation Date Query 2u2019 instead of u2018Reservation Date Query 1u2019.
Could you please advice me on this issue.

Hi Hiteshwar,
MaxDate variable returns a maximum of Reservation date from Query 1 i.e. 1/15/01 which is correct. If you put that variable separately it will display that date correctly but you are grouping it along with objects from the query2 thatu2019s why it is displaying correct value for Query 2 where it finds 1/15/01, but for other values WEBI canu2019t group this value as it refers its formula which contains Query 1 reservation date.
Hence we canu2019t say it is displaying values from Query 2 it is taking values from Query1 itself for 1/15/2001 and for remaining values it is taking non matching values from Query 2 with which it is grouping.
If you put that variable with objects from Query1 it wonu2019t display 1/15/01 but all values reservation date from query 1 contains because it is grouping based on reservation date though it is single max value.
Even when you write "=Max(Query 2.Reservation Date) formula and use it with objects from query 1 though it contains so many values it matches (Groups) only the values from reservation date from Query 1.and displays only those values i.e. 1/1/2001 and 1/15/01.
MaxDate returns 1/15/01 as Maximum Date value from Query 1 but Query 2 contains value far more greater than 1/15/01 hense that will be more incorrect data if WEBI displays maxdate as 1/15/01 along with Query 2 objects.
Here we can avoid this behavior by Custom SQL but MaxDate is a report level variable hence we canu2019t edit SQL.
If your data contains some duplicate values WEBI will repeat MaxDate value like
Reservation date     Restaurant           Future_Guests    Total Guests
1/1/01                          ABC                         3                   3
1/15/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
1/16/01                       XYZ                          4                   8
By default, WEBI Groups Total Guests based on the Restaurant and Reservation Date, but if we want we can group those values based only on Restaurant which will duplicate Total Guest values for Restaurant XYZ. But you report contains only one dimension with all unique Values we canu2019t group those.
I hope this is clear.
Thanksu2026

Error when refreshing WEBI report with Universe Connection Type "SSO"

Hi Experts:
We are trying to refresh the Webi report in Infoview with Universe Connection set as "Use Single Sign On when refreshing the report at view time", so that we can leverage SAP OLAP authorization variable from Bex Query which the Universe is built on.
However got the error of "incomplete logon data" after all the configurations done following below blogs:
SNC Part 1
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-1-of-2
SNC Part 2
/people/ingo.hilgefort/blog/2009/07/03/businessobjects-enterprise-and-client-side-snc-part-2-of-2
We already have Win AD SSO to SAP setup, and in BO CMC, Win AD user is mapped to SAP user ID.
The SNC settings are:
- AD Account: service.test.bobj (all lower-letters)
- 32-bit gsslib on the BO server, and 64 bit on the BW server side.
- SNC0: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- SU01 --> BO_Service ; SNC: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- Entitlement system tab --> username: BO_Service
SNC Name: p:service.test.bobj at DOMAIN
- SNC settings tab:
SNC Lib: c:\winnt\gsskrb5.dll
Mutual Authentication settings: p:SAPServiceBP0 at DOMAIN
In CMC, the role can be imported if "RFC activated" option unchecked in SNC0.
I found a few threads on the same topic, but they are all not answered:
SNC Client side configuration error
SNC Configuration Error: Incomplete logon Data
Can you please provide details of the solution if you have impleted a same scenario successsfully, or any thoughts to help the investigation?
Thanks in advance!
Regards,
Jonathan

Hi Ingo,
Sorry for taking so long to reply, we are trying to set up server side trust and enable SSO; but we still couldn't success.
What we did is:
1. We followed installation guide chapter 6, generate certificate and PSE, etc. All looks good.
2. Then we still have the "incomplete logon data" error when refreshing webi report after logon using Windows AD user ID.
3. Then we trace the PFC connection, the log is as below. We checked several BO notes, e.g. 1500150, 1461247.. The part bothers us is that we even don't have URI displayed in the log when system trying to use SNC, and we couldn't get more info on this which make us very difficult to diagnosis.
Can you please help? Thanks a lot!

Hello,I need to get rid of empty space in details section of my report.The width of the first column is less than the width of the next one and one row of the first column matches to a number of rows of the next column. All data are stored in one SQL table. I need to reach the following result without using of subreports because this report will be used as a subreport in another report:

In other words I want to suppress the same values in the first column and I don't want the heights of the rows of the second column follow the heights of the rows of the first column. I tried to create two details section and to use underlay the following section in the first details section, but without success.Thanks.

So could you group by issue datetime (at the appropriate resolution, e.g. per day) and then by studio? I've done it and the report looks great! Thank you! Now I use underlay of group headers under details instead of suppress of duplicated   group values in detail section and I'm happy!And I have another question... Suppose, there are two contractors that work on three Customer's sites. The first contractor makes Pumping operations. The second contractor makes Slickline operations.One day the first contractor made   Pumping operations on site#1,
then this contractor moved to site#2 and made   Pumping operations here.
In the meantime another contractor made Slickline operations on site#2,
then it moved to site#1 and made   Slickline operations here, tonight the second contractor moved to site#3 and made   Slickline operations here.Details of operations are stored in the one Table with the following columns:Operation_id, Site_id, time_from, time_to, Code_of_Type_of_Operation, Operation_memo, Contractor_name, ...     The customer wants to have a daily operations report where all operations for each Site are placed together, but in the meantime each Site must
be placed wholly into proper Operation Type section accordantly with the first
operation which has place on the Site. So I need to create the following Structure of the report:Pumping operations
   Site#1   Details of Pumping operations on Site#1
                Details of Slickline operations on Site#1Slickline operations    Site#2   Details of Slickline operations on Site#2                   Details of Pumping operations on Site#2
   Site#3   Details of Slickline operations on Site#3// Each "Details of operations" section is a number of rows from Details of operations Table
In other words the rule is the following:to seek for the first operation for each Site and to place each Site to a suitable section, for example: the first operation for Site#1
is PUMPING, so Site#1 must be placed into u201Cpumping operationsu201D section, the first operation
for Site#2 is SLICKLINE, so Site#2 must be placed into u201Cslickline operationsu201D section.
I think that If I'll use grouping:
Group 1 Type of Operation   Group 2 Site
then I'll have the following wrong report:
Pumping operations    Site#1   Details of Pumping operations on Site#1   Site#2   Details of Pumping operations on Site#2Slickline operations
   Site#1   Details of Slickline operations on Site#1
   Site#2   Details of Slickline operations on Site#2
   Site#3   Details of Slickline operations on Site#3But the customer doesn't want to break Sites! :(I have a number of ideas how to realize this report, but I would like to listen to masters.Thanks in advance!

Error occured while refreshing webi report in bi system

Dear Experts ,
please look into my problem
While refreshing WebI report in BIDEV system, we are getting the following error. The problem occurs only while refreshing the report.
ERROR: a database error occured. the database error text is unable to connect to sap bw server incomplete logon data.. (wis10901)

HI ayur
In the universe connection if the username and password is hardcoded then make sure those username and passwords are correct.
else
Make sure you are in the right BOX, for example if Universe is pointed to Prod, and you execute the report associated with that universe in the Dev, then that error will show up. So in universe connection find out to what BOX(dev, test, prod) it is pointed to and login to webI in the same BOX as universe pointed to and execute the report.
It should work, if not please let us know.

Table cells - Problem with merged cells

Hi
I was experiencing very weird behavior with my tables until I realized that it was caused by merged cells
My script gives a dialog which allows the user to choose from which column to start and from which row.
As the script iterates through the cells in the selection I was getting weird results
Through using .select() function I was able to see that depending on the column, some times row 5 could be which seems to be row 3!
The reason was because of merged cells in that row
I.e., when some cells are merged together, only the first column of those merged cells is recognized - the others are not
so it comes out that when merging cells from column 3 to 5, column 3 has a cell in that row, columns 4 and 5 do not, and column 6 does!
Is there a way to get around this behavior?
Thanks
Davey

I don't understand the point of your post.
If you're trying to report a problem or "bug" with Pages, that is not the purpose of this user-to-user forum. You should leave feedback for the Pages team on this page.
I've not had a problem opening Word files with tables in Pages. If you're saying Word can't handle tables with merged cells, then don't use merged cells in files you are going to export as Word. Word & Pages must handle merged table cells differently, as I know both can do that. As far as RTF, Pages can open & export as RTF. Again, if you are going to export as RTF, don't use tables. Neither of these is a fault of Pages, just limitations of the formats/programs.

Scheduling WEBI reports with API

Is it possible to schedule a WEBI report with an external API?
Explanation: our customers can view their data on our internet site. We want to show a list of reports where they can subscribe. For example: report X with parameter Y each monday morning in Excel format to mailadress Z.
This subscribtion is stored in our Oracle database. The database sends an API to the BO enterprise server. BO schedules and sends the report to the customer.
Regards,
Emiel

Hi
What is the API ? Is it a Text file ? if so then you can schedule the reports based on an event in BO .

Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form

Hi,
I tried in building a report as shown in the example in OTN under reports in the url
http://otn.oracle.com/products/reports/htdocs/getstart/examples/ParameterFormJSP/index.html
i.e for Building a JSP-based Web Report with a Parameter Form. The directions in this document were not clear and if any one document which is clear with instruction will be useful to me. In this example it is shown with search criteria with sigle text box and if any one had idea & code to place an combo box and population of the record group in the combo box.
Thank you in advance.

hi,
we will be releasing a new example w.r.t creating a parameter form using the reports JSP within the next month.
as for your request for a combo box. this widget is not available via regular HTML form elements. you can either have a select list or dropdown list.
for a regular select list you would use the following (only pseudo-code)
<select ...>
<rw:foreach>
<option value="<rw:field .../>">
</rw:foreach>
</select>
to populate a select list.
regards,

Help with merged cells in table

I'm just learning how to use Dreamweaver 8 and tables. I am
trying to use a table with merged cells filled with graphics --
only one graphic per cell. I make my jpg the size of my cell, which
it seems to fill. Then, when I upload it to view in browser, it
looks as though the graphic doesn't take up the entire cell. At one
point, it was working both in Dreamweaver and the browser. Now, in
the browser view, it looks as though there is extra space above the
graphic and below it. Any suggestions on what is going on???

It's not the use of tables with your graphics that is
necessarily the
problem, it's HOW you are using the tables with your
graphics. Can we see
the page you have built so we can examine the code?

How to hide rows with merged cells?

I would like to know how to hide rows on numbers with merged cells, could do it normally at excel but I am not being able to do it at Numbers.
thanks!

Felipe,
To hide a row with Merged Cells, Un-Merge first, then Hide. Select the Merged Cells and Table > Unmerge.
Note that this is only a problem with vertically merged cells when you want to Hide a Row.
If you want to Hide a Column, you can't have a Horizontal Merge that involves that Column.

How to create Webi Reports with SAP BW Objects

Hi,
I have no knowledge on creating webi reports with SAP BW Objects like (InfoCube, DSO, MultiProvider, Infoview, MasterData Infoobject).
As per my understanding Webi reports can be developed with universe which is created on BEx Queries or OLAP BAPI interface, unfortunately i don't have BEx App installed. So, i have to create OLAP universe in this case.
Here my question is can we create universe with all the available BW objects like InfoCube, DSO, MultiProvider, Infoview, MasterData Infoobject.
Please, Can anyone suggest a solution
Thanks,
Siva
Edited by: siva@chinni on Apr 25, 2010 4:45 PM

Hi,
Yes we can create WebI on the top of SAP Objects - InfoCube, DSO, Characteristics etc...
But we have to keep in mind that for WebI we must create Universe.
When we create universe we make direct connection with SAP Objects but we get less functionality - such Calculated Key Figures, Restricted Key Figures, formulas etc. Now you have to achieve all these missing components at Universe Level and at WebI level.
If you are creating your universe on the top of DSO and InfoObject then make sure they set for reporting.
There are some online documentation which tells that what functionality you can achieve.
Check the following document to have a bird's eye view.

There is another document in PPT which I could not find online. It is very helpful document. It is:
