Report Designer : Data Provider & Report Section .

Hi Experts ,
Is it a mandatory compulsion to insert data provider to create a formatted report in Report designer . can we not create it through report section.
thanks & regards ,
M.S

when you insert a data provider, it automatically creates a Report section. If you start with report section, then you still need to add data provider to it.

  • Can we use Report Designer report as Data Provider in WAD

    Hi all,
    i have a requirement to desing WAD report, in that i need to include report designer report in one column and another 2 graphs.
    I am not understanding how to include report designer report in WAD as DATA PROVIDER. Can we do this or not?
    Thanks in advance,
    Venky

    Hi
    You can include Report from report designer using Report designer webitem in BI 7.0. But you can't create report designer report in WAD as DATA PROVIDER.

  • Need to Match Result in Report to Data Provider

    Hi!
    My report is using an Excel file to populate my "Payout" data provider.  The data provider has the following values
    Performance/Payment/Level
    10 pt  /5%  /1
    15 pt  /7%  /2
    My report is calculating a performance of 12 pt which I am trying to match against the "Payout" data provider to get the Payment of 5%.  Is this possible in DeskI and if so how?
    Any help you can provide will be appreciated.
    Thanks!

    Hi,
    If the number of payment levels is not to big you might concider to put them on one line in the excel file.
    Like:
    level 1 points | level 1 percentage | level 2 points | level 2 percentage
    10 | 5 | 15 | 7
    When you read that into BusinessObjects you can then assign the percentages by using the formula:
    =If <performance> < <level 1 points> Then 0 Else If <performance> < <level 2 points> Then <level 1 percentage> 
    Else <level 2 percentage>

  • Report Completion date and Report start date in BI Publisher

    Guys
    We have a requirement to get the Report Completion date and start date without Scheduling the report. Can any one give me an idea to get in the BIP Reports
    Regards

    What is the requirement ?
    When the user run report from BIP EE, you want to display how long the report run ?
    or
    Where you want to display these info >?
    If you expecting these info, on click of viewbutton then i dont think it is possible, unless you write the query to fetch the time and in the template processing, subtract that from the current sys-time to get the time it took to run.
    if you can schedule then
    Simplest would be is , taking these info from the tables, directly for the report you are running.
    or
    use Public WS provided by BIP to get the report info
    but in order to get these, first of all the reports should be run in scheduled mode.
    if you don't want the report to be scheduled then, i don't think, you can get these kind of report completion status info.
    otherwise , you can run the query by yourself to get the data and the time it took to complete from database and do some sort of custom calculation by urself

  • Report Designer: execution of report leads to blank screen

    I've created an report in the Report Designer, and want to test it in the portal. To this end, I choose "Execute" from within the Report Designer. This opens my portal, but after logging on there's nothing displayed on the screen (it remains blank).
    How can I execute my report so that it's result is displayed correctly?

    I had the same problem and just resolved it.
    Found that the Default template was not set correctly in SPRO.  The template selected was 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN which is the template that is used by the Analyzer.  The correct Template to use is 0REPORT_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE.
    This is set by going to Transaction SPRO.  Navigate to SAP Netweaver > Business Intelligence > Setting for Report and Analysis > Bex Web > Set Standard Web Templates .
    Change line that says Enterprise Reporting from 0ANALYSIS_PATTERN to 0REPORT_DEFAULT_TEMPLATE.

  • VC Report design - Data from 2 backend systems

    Hi,
    I have a report to develop at below.
    Material Inventory (Backend 1) Inventory (Backend 2)
    XYZ 10 12
    ABC 100 103
    and so on.
    I get the following from 1st backend system
    Material and Inventory (Backend 1)
    I get the following from 1st backend system
    Material and Inventory (Backend 2)
    Master data from both systems are syncronised that means that the material numbers will be the same.
    I am using VC to extract data from these systems, I have managed to get the data into 2 table views and now need to join them together into 1 view as shown above.
    The combie operator does not work as it shows the data as below
    XYZ 10
    XYZ 12
    ABC 100
    ABC 103
    Please suggest options.

  • To view reports in new page for each cutomer using Report Designer

    HI all
    I have a requirement to view the data (key figures) for each customer in a new page.
    I have created the same using the Report Designer tool.
    Now there is setting for this Group Header 'Customer' i have selected the option 'repeat group header on each page'
    still the query when generated, gives fine results for certain cases but not for all.
    like it will show the each customers in a fresh page for some pages , then in midst there would some 2-3 customers in the same page.
    There is no relation between these customers , they are same as the other customers, no difference at all.then i am not able to figure out the reason why it is behaving so odd.
    Thanks
    Ramesh

    Ramesh,
    right now there really is no way to solve what you are looking for.  There partial solutions, but you will not be able to force a page break in a dynamic report.
    Here is what I have faced, and what I have come up with so far:
    I have a series of reports that have the same column heading, but spread over 5 pages in a fixed structure.  I need to be able to re-use the header and the general report design with 6 reports.  Here is my solution:
    1. Create an outline of the report.  I did all the formatting by creating a report section for each page.  You can force page breaks between the pages.  Upgrade to patch 1502 (came out last week) and you will see some new functionality (such as fit to page, page numbers, etc).
    2. Insert all you page breaks and do all the formatting.
    3. Insert an infoprovider.  Once in, you can just drag and drop the key figure cells into your formatted report.
    4. Create additional modification for formatting as needed.
    This fixes my problem (for now), but I had to do a lot of work to come up with this.  Also, the latest patch (1501 and 1502) has created an issue for me - there is a null exception when I try to use a variable or a filter value in the report body - I can't save the report.  I have an OSS message out, but our BASIS guys are going to be taking the lead on troubleshooting this.
    The reason that you are seeing some customers on the new pages is probably because of "how the cookie falls" - they just fit that way.
    I am trying to be positive and overcome the limitations that are in place right now. If my technical issue is solved, I would recommend upgrading to the new patch (1403 is the latest stable one in my opinion)
    good luck

  • Use of Grid in crystal report designer

    Hello,
    I have a simple question in regards to data grid in crystal report designer. Crystal report designer has a capability to show grid in both design and preview mode, can we make use of any other grid in crystal, how can I make my report look more professional like the text box alignment and placed objects based on using grids?

    I am confused as to what you are asking.  You can align text boxes and lines/linear boxes using the grid in the report design tool just like other report objects.  You can achieve some very crisp looking report designs this way.  There are also tools available when you right-click one or more objects to size and/or align those objects within the page.

    Who notes you can also change the spacing between guidelines and grid points to provide more control over layout...

  • Blank page in report designer

    In my report designer, I have two sections. In the last row of section 1, I have a "page break after" checked. And in section 2 first row, I have "page break before" checked. Due to this I am getting a blank page between section 1 and 2. However, if I remove the "page break before" from section 2, it tries to print both sections on the same page. How can I remove the blank page without messing the report?

    Thanks for responding, Jonathan.
    Is the same runtime installed on the 64 bit system? I notice from your version number that you do not have any service packs installed on the dev system. SP 2 is out and may help.
    I have installed SP1 and SP2 this morning, resaved the report file and tried again but the same problem remains.
    I'm not sure how to answer your runtime question. I am using the same application built with the same merge modules on both the dev machine and the production server. Of course, the dev machine has the additional complication of having Crystal Reports 2008 installed. Perhaps this is causing the difference?
    Compare the printer settings between the two systems. Try installing the same printer driver on the 64 bit system.
    Perhaps I am misinterpreting your suggestion, but I am not printing the invoices. I am only exporting them to PDF. It is the PDF that has the extra page. Is there a 'print to PDF' driver of some sort that I need?
    Also, was the .NET application compiled as 32 bit, or Any CPU? Whichever it was, try switching it then recompiling to see if that helps.
    I tried switching to Any CPU but this caused the Crystal Reports module not to load at all on the 64bit Windows server.
    Thank you for your suggestions, but my problem remains. Is it worth trying with the redistributable msi rather than using the merge modules? If so, could you recommend which one I should use? I am using Visual Studio 2008 Professional.

  • Report designer - query alignment

    Hi all,
    In report designer I have 2 queries with a top 10 condition on a characteristic in the rows and 1 key figure in the column. The report designer shows these reports as dynamic sections.
    Therefore I cannot place them horizontally next to each other, for layout purposes.
    Does anyone know how I can achieve this?
    thanks
