Export Oracle report formula column to XMLP

hi
i am thinking about exporting an rdf report to xmlp and i am worried about keeping my formula columns in the xmlpublisher report.
what is gonna happen to them ?
thx
Dan

If you are using Oracle Reports XML output as the datasource, the formula column will be in the XML, recognizable by the tag name. If you are using a data template to produce the datasource, the formula colum can be defined in the template.

Formula Columns are not working in Reports 10g

Hi,
We converted the reports developed in Reports 6i to Reports 10g. When we run the report in Reports 10g Builder everything works fine. But when we deploy the same report in Oracle Application Server and invoking the report the formula columns are not working ie., the fields/ placeholder columns which are based on the formula column are not displaying any values in the report.
Please, someone help us in this regard.
Thanks & Rgds,

What version of Reports do you use..???

Using PL/SQL in a formula column in Oracle Reports Builder.

Hi,
I need to SUM two record from the result of an SQL interrogation.
Here's what it looks like
function CF_1Formula return Number is
nTot1 NUMBER :=0;
nTot2 NUMBER :=0;
begin
     select sum(:TOT1) into nTot1 from table(Q1) ;
     select sum(:TOT2) into nTot2 from table(Q1) ;
     return (nTot1 + nTot2);
end;I'm kind of new to formula column programming any link of interest would be appreciated.
The from table(Q1) part Q1 represents my SQL interrogation name and the group below it is G_MAIN.

Hi Hong Kong King Kong,
From looking at that function name (and the group name): Is this an Oracle Reports generated function?
If so, there's also a dedicated Reports forum: Reports
By the way, I like your synonym for 'query'.
I'm sure I'll confuse some of my collegues tomorrow when I will mention 'database interrogation' instead of 'query'. ;)

Doh...I should not underestimate the information that is posted in thread subjects.

How to add a formula column in a report

Hi
I have made a report based on a query.
There are 3 columns in the query and all the 3 are displayed.
Now I want to add a new column (fomula column) to the report.
I want to write a query inside the formula column. To execute the query col1, col2 and col3 values are required in the formula column.
Could you please tell me how to add a formula column in the report and how to pass database column value to inside the formula column
regards

Here is how you would create a formula column:
Open data model of the report.
Formula column button is on the left side of the tool palette.
Click on that button.
Now click in the query group where you want to place the formula column.
You would see a new field something like CF_1. That is the formula column.
Double click on the field CF_1. It will open property inspector.
You would see, Datatype of the formula column is Number. Change this as per your requirement.
Double click on PL/SQL Formula property. It would open up a editor. Here you can write the code.
And now to access the data model column here, you can use : and column name. i.e. :col1 or :col2, etc
And remember you have to return the value back to the formula column. Like this: RETURN(some value).
You can also take a help from here:

Hope this helps.

REP-1425 report formula DO_SQL error putting value into column

Hi all
I have opened a report 2.5 in Oracle9i Reports Developer and, it converted ok. However, when I run the report (paper layout), the message
rep-1425 report formula DO_SQL error putting value
into column. Column may not be referenced by parameter
triggers
appears. There are several report level formula columns and corresponding placeholder columns that are the cause of this error. The formula has the following :
SRW.DO_SQL('SELECT RPAD(''DAILY TABLE AUDIT REPORT'',60,''.'')||TO_CHAR(SYSDATE,''DD-MON-YYYY'') INTO :REPORT_TIT FROM DUAL');
COMMIT;
RETURN('');
I can't work out what this error message really means as the column, report_tit is a placeholder column and, the formula column is not a parameter trigger!! The report_tit placeholder is used as a source for a layout field. I noticed that the layout field is defined as a placeholder column in the converted report but in the reports 2.5 version, it is defined as a layout field.
I can do a work around by replacing the SRW.DO_SQL statement with a normal PL/SQL SELECT statement. However, I wonder if anyone else has had the same problem and, if anyone can help provide an answer as to what this error really means and, also, how I can retain the SRW.DO_SQL statement and/or an alternative work around to the one that I have described.
Thanks.

Hi again
The firewall proved to be the problem after all! The firewall set in Reports config-files is not used for WebServices, it has to be set within the stub:
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.put("http.proxyHost","yourProxyServer");
prop.put("http.proxyPort","youProxyServerPort");
I inserted this in my java-code and after some problems (see below), restarting Report Builder turned the trick, the report works now.
Cheers
Tino
Here there mail I set up before I found that restarting Report Builder helped:
Thanks for your answer, putting in the proxy-settings actually helped some - the same error message is
popping up, but instantly and not after 10 seconds like before:
My proxy lines look like this, I also tried "http://proxy.ch.oracle.com", but "proxy.ch.oracle.com" proved to
be the correct syntax:
public Float getRate(String country1, String country2) throws Exception
Float returnVal = null;
Properties prop = System.getProperties();
prop.put("http.proxyHost","proxy.ch.oracle.com");
prop.put("http.proxyPort","8080");
URL endpointURL = new URL(endpoint);
Call call = new Call();
I tested the new proxy-entries by disabling the proxy preference in JDeveloper, so I could verify the added
proxy-lines in the code work - they do. If I change the proxy to some incorrect value like
"proxyy.ch.oracle.com", they fail.
After unsuccessfully trying recompile and re-import of Java classes, I rebuild the report from scratch and
stumbled over the same problem. Now the question is, whether I'm still doing something wrong with the
proxy or whether there is another problem after passing the firewall....

Formula Column in Report 9i Builder

Hi,
I use this configuration
Report Builder 9.2.0.1.0
Windows XP Service Pack 1
NLS_LANG "BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8ISO8859P1"
When I try to create a formula column that returns number, I have to choose datatype 'Nu'mero' (with accented u)as this is the only avaiable in the combo box. However when I write this PL/SQL code for the column:
function CF_17Formula return Number is
begin
RETURN(1);
end;
Reports gives me the message:
REP-0737: Deve ser uma funcao com retorno do tipo 'nu'mero'.
In English this message could be
REP-0737: Should be a function with return type 'nu'mero'.
I don't have this problem with Character or Date formula columns (these datatypes are called Caracter and Data in Portuguese).
It seems that Reports is having problems with u' (accented u) character. If I change NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 everything works fine because I can choose Number in the Formula Column Datatype in the Property Inspector.
The problem is in the function declaration not in the Return statement.
Could anyone help me? Tks.
Edmar

Edmar,
You are right. I could reproduce this issue.
I have filed a bug to fix it from the development in next patch
Thanks

Is it possible to have a formula column in a report template? if it possible how can I do it? otherwise how can i achieve this task?
Thank in advance

What is the application release?
Can you find any details about the error in the OPP log file?

Formula Column in Matrix Report (Running Balance)

Hi all. I hope somebody can help me.
I am working on a matrix report using multi-query data models. The report has 2 groups in the horizontal axis and 3 groups in the vertical axis. The intersection is not just a single row but may consist of multiple rows.
My problem is this. I want to create a column in the intersection which is obtained by using a column value from the lowest group in the vertical axis and a summary column obtained from the rows of the intersection.
Here's what my report looks like:
2002 (accross)
2002(down) january february (accross)
January (down) payments balance payments balance
loan #1 10,000 500 9,000 200 8,800
500
loan #2 5,000 100 4,900 200 4,700
February
loan #3 3,500 0 3,500 50 3,450
loan #4 4,200 0 4,200 0 4,200
As you can see, the loans are grouped by month and year. And the payments are grouped for the month and year too.
The data model is :
For Query 1 (Vertical Axis),
1st group - Loan Yr
2nd group - Loan Mo
3rd group - Loan # and amount
For Query 2 (Horizontal Axis)
1st group - Payment Yr
2nd group - Payment Mo
Intersection Group - Payment Amount
My problem actually is how to compute for the running balance of the loan for each month in the horizontal axis. Ive already created a cross product summary to get the running total of the payments made for the month. I tried creating a formula column to for the running balance by subtracting it from the loan amount but i get the error "incompatible frequency"
I hope i have described my problem well and thanks for the help

The problem is that you're trying to reference dimension columns(loan Amount) in the calculation of matrix cell values. You can only reference other matrix cell values or cross product columns (summary, formula, placeholders) when calculating matrix cell values. Try moving the (loan Amount) column down to the matrix cell - something like:
For Query 1 (Vertical Axis),
1st group - G_LoanYear(LoanYr)
2nd group - G_LoanMonth(LoanMo)
3rd group - G_LoanNumber(Loan#)
For Query 2 (Horizontal Axis)
1st group - G_PaymentYear(PaymentYr)
2nd group - G_PaymentMonth(PaymentMo)
Intersecion /Detail Group - G_Details(PaymentAmount, LoanAmount)
Then create the following Matrix summary columns:
A running summary - CS_Payments:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber G_PaymentYear G_PaymentMonth
- Source: PaymentAmount
- Function: Sum
- Reset At: G_LoanNumber
The total amount per loan - CS_TotalPayment:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber
- Source: LoanAmount
- Function: First
- Reset At: G_LoanNumber
The value of the loan after each payment - CF_Countdown:
- Product Order: G_LoanYear G_LoanMonth G_LoanNumber G_PaymentYear G_PaymentMonth
- PL/SQL Formula:
function CF_CountdownFormula return Number is
begin
return(:CS_TotalPayment - :CS_Payments);
end;
You should then be able to display "CF_Payments" and "CF_Countdown" in the matrix cell to show how much has been paid and how much is still owed.
You can still have another "loan amount" as a dimension column - you just don't need to use it when calculating the values in the cell.

Report Builder chrashes when creating a new formula column

Dear all,
whenever I try to create a new formula column in the data model, that is placed outside of a query, my report builder crashes completely. The same happens on my colleagues notebook.
If anyone has an idea why this could happen, please let me know. I am currently using Version 9.0.4.1.0.
Thanks and br
Daniel

You can keep the report builder you have now. Just install the new one in new oracle home. You can download it from here
http://www.oracle.com/technology/software/products/ids/htdocs/904winsoft.html
This download has Developer Suite 10g (Report 9.0.4.0.33, Form 9.0.4.0.19, JDeveloper, Discoverer, Designer)
I don't think so you can select which product you want to install, like it was in 6i. So it will install everything.
Try to install this version. Hope this will help.
Thanks

Not able to burst report referring to Formula Column in XML file.

Hello all,
I am using bursting feature to spit single report to multiple pdfs. All is well when I reference column queried from the database in the xml file but I when I give column from Formula column it is doing coredump.
XML File contents:
=====================
<destinations>

<foreach>
<file id="MyFiles" name="/data/reports/pdf/assrt_terr&<file_name>.pdf" format=
"pdf" instance="this">
<include src="report"/>
</file>
</foreach>
</destinations>
=====================
The "file_name" referenced in the above is a formula column. If it is replace with a column from the query it works fine. Please let me know if anyone knows if it is a limitation or any workaround?
Thanks in advance,
Manohar

If I can have that in the query I would have not done a formula column. And I do know that it works if the column is in the query. I would like to know any workaround to make it work from formula column.
I have to take data from sub-group of this query, aggregate it and then concatinate with one of the columns grouped - so i had to use formula column.
Thanks
Manohar

About formula column in oracle report

I want the output value of the formula column in my report between two brackts ....ex: (28.99) ...can anyone give me the idea

Do u mean that brackets have to be appeared only when the value is +ve/-ve. then you need to use (9999) in the format mask of the property pallette of the text column. if you want to use the brackets for all the data, then the solution has been provided by many of our frnds.
