Report generation - Property values display

Hi Everybody,
I am trying to generate a report for the Substance in trx CG02. For that i have created a template in trx CG42 which consists of the Substance master data and substance property tree (density, total solids, color..) values. After that i created a varint in trx CG2B. Now i tried to generate the report in CG02. I am able to get all the values related to the header, but not able to get the values in the property tree. I also did the symbol generation in the customizing. I was trying debug this error from so many days. If anybody have any idea highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rajesh.

The problem is i didnt add the avlidity in the variant. Now it is solved

XL Reporter - "invalid property value"

SAP 2005A SP1 PL43
W2k3
SQL 2005
.NET Framework 2.0
Citrix PS 4.0
MS Office 2003
When I run XL Reporter, I get this:
XL Reporter
An error occurred while Executing report!
Invalid Property value.
Thanks to Apple Liu, I did this:
1) Make sure XLR is uninstalled. To be sure of this, check the folder
\AddOns\XLR in their Business One client installation folder and it
should be empty.
2) Go to the SQL Server, and delete the database IXMetaSBOOEM manually
if it is there. After that, go to the default data file folder of
SQLServer (if SQLServer is installed on c:\Program Files folder, the
data file folder should be C:\Programas\Microsoft SQL Server\MSSQL\Data\
by default). This folder is the default location for SQL Server to place
data files. Make sure the files IXMetaSBOOEM.mdf and
IXMetaSBOOEM_log.ldf does not exist.
3) Go to Security->Logins in the SQL Server, delete the account xlruser
if it exists.
4) Try installing XLR again
I also dropped the proper config files from SAP Support Notes into the Office 11 folder and the XL Client folder to ensure the client is using the proper .NET Framework version.
I know this is permissions-related, since I can run XL Reporter successfully when I launch the client from the Citrix desktop when I'm logged into the server console (won't work if I RDP into the desktop as Administrator).
Any suggestions?
TIA
John

Thanks for the quick response, Gordon. Your questioning helped me to solve the problem. I had not tried to launch XL Reporter from the Tools menu, and when I did, I got an error message that said 8-bit color was not supported (I was running the SAP client on the Citrix desktop via an RDP session). When I increased the color display property in my RDP session, XL Reporter worked fine.
That also explains why I could successfully run XL Reporter from the server Console!
Thanks, again.

PC report S_E38_98000088 does not display periodic values

Dear colleagues,
In ECC6.0/new GL we are trying to use report S_E38_98000088 to display Actual/Plan values for a specific month/period, but it looks like the system will always show a cumulative value since the beginning of the fiscal year.
We enter the following on the selection screen:
Currency type: 10
Company code: XXXX
Account number: XXXXXXXX
Ledger: 0L
Controlling area: XXXX
Plan version: 1
Fiscal year: 2011
From Period: 4
To period: 4
Profit Center: XXXXXXX
But when we execute the report, and srill down to the line item level, we see that the report picks up all posting in 2011 instead of 04.2011 only.
The same happens if we try to execute the report for 12.2010 - it will select all postings in 2010.
Anyone knows why is it working like that and how can I display a specific period?
Many thanks,
Yoel.

Shalom yoel,
this is not a bug.
Please bear in mind that this report shows cumulative values
for Balance Sheet accounts.
The calculated keyfigure BILWERT (Balance Sheet Value) behaves in
different ways for balance sheet and for P+L accounts. For balance sheet
accounts it always provides you with cumulated values. For example
for period 6 to 6 it will show cumulated value for periods 1 - 6 plus
balance carry forward value.
The BILWER is calculated like:
BILWERT = WERTB + WERTE,
WERTB - Balance sheet accounts value
WERTE - Income statement account value
But if an account is a P+L statement account, you will see the
real period balance value for the particular period range. It means,
that for period 6-6 you will see value for the single period 6. For
period 1-6 you will see cumulated value for period range 1 - 6 without
balance carry forward.
The report behaviour is dependent on your Financial Statement Version
(FSV) and how the particular accounts are valuated.
It means the following:
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1) All accounts assigned to the nodes "Assets" and "Liab+Equity" are
   taken as balance sheet accounts and cumulated values are provided
   for those accounts by report S_PL0_86000028 (and other GL reports)!!
2) All accounts which are not assigned within the FSV at all are
   considered as balance sheet accounts and cumulated values are
   provided by GL drilldown reports.
3) All accounts which are assigned OUT of "Assets" and "Liab+Equity"
   nodes within particular FSV are taken as Profit and Loss acounts and
   period values are provided for them in the GL drilldown reports
The original settings (which you can see under T-cd: FS00) has no
influence on it when using the FI-GL drilldown reports.
Please take into account the note 1154817 and the documentation
to OB58 and RFBILA00 how should define the correct FSV structure.
That is the design and usage of the hierarchy of the Financial Statement
Version and key figure.
There is no error in the standard system

Excel value range with Report Generation Toolkit

I have an excel sheet. I want to find out the range for cells with values. At least, I want the find out what's the last row that has values in it. I tried "Excel Get Last Row.vi" in the report generation toolkit, but it would treat a blank cell as a valued cell if it is filled with another color. Therefore, that won't work.
I don't want to use active x, and I don't want to write a separate vi to search for the last row. I want to see is there a way to use the report generation toolkit. Can I somehow get a hidden method from the class? I would think that, since they are charging for the report generation toolkit, a simple function like that should be included. Thanks!
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

I am pretty sure that the Report Generation Toolkit does use ActiveX, so you are using it even if you dont want to.
Seems to be how the UsedRange function is being used in the toolkit.
See here for some examples: http://blog.contextures.com/archives/2012/03/01/select-actual-used-range-in-excel-sheet/
I tried, and it does not find the blank cells with colored backgrounds.
This will require some activeX modifications though.

Crystal reports 11: Values displayed in crystal report not showing in VB6

Hi!
I updated an existing lower version of crystal report 7 to crystal report 11. Changes are the following:
1. sql query in VB6 to add fields
2. sql query in crystal report to manipulate values and not use formula. crx11 doesn't allow summary/total in formula fields.
3. report orientation
4. additional fields to view
5. font sizes, length, can grow properties, etc.
When I tested it directly in crx 11, all fields/values are displaying correctly. When I integrated it in VB 6 using Crystal ActiveX Report Viewer Library 11.0 and CR Viewer object, the field is blank.
I've tried several checking like field suppressions, conditional suppressions, etc.
By the way, I also have a report using a subrepot with conditional suppressions. Same thing is happening. The subreport data only displays the alloted space but does not show values in VB6.
Thank you in advance for your help.

Thanks for your response.
Before I read your response, I tried tweaking my reports and was able to resolve the issue.
Steps taken to solve the issue are the following:
a. Value not showing one field of four (4) reports.
Solution: I created new ones and integrate it in VB 6. The values are now showing. Tweaked on the line object properties, got a problem with the extended line but solved it by adjusting the height of the detail section.
b. Value not showing in sub-report.
Solution: My report used a shared variable so I can pass the condition to my sub-report. I used the new reports and just pass a query during runtime. The values in the subreport is still not showing. I added a formula and called the value in it. Values in the subreport is now showing.
I'll try to update the crystal reports version as suggested at a later time.

Hi,
A trigger is designed to be a part of a transaction, not it's end.
It is like following these steps (not really accurate, but should give an idea):
1. programA issues INSERT statement on tableA
2. 'control' goes over to the database
3. constraint checks happen
4. the associated triggers on tableA do their work (e.g. fetching a sequence value for a primary key)
5. 'control' goes back to programA
6. programA decides if a commit (no error occurred) or a rollback (error case) has to be issued.
Did this help? Probably not, I'm not happy with what I wrote, but anyway... :)

Display Report Level Filter value and Input Controls Value

Hi,
Please let me know how to display Report Level Filter value and Input COntrol values in the report.
I have 2 tabs in the WebI Report. The first tab has the summary details about the other tabs like reprot desc, prompt values, reprot filter values,etc.
In the 2nd tab I have the actual report which has input controls defined, prompt values and global level report filters.
Can anyone please tell me how to display the Report level filter values and the Input Control values in the first tab report.
For ex: Tab 2 has a Report level filter: Region = NA
I need to display in Tab 1 in as Region: NA
I used the function ReportFilterSummary but that is giving me other details, I want only the object name and the value.
Also how to dispaly the Input Control values in the tab 1.
Please let me know if you have any suggestions for this issue.
Thanks

did you try
=ReportFilter([Year])
if you are making report filter over the year, it will return the value of the filter
by the way, the filter should be applied over all the report not to a specific block to be able to get the correct value
the Input control also considered as report filter, only if you're applying them on the level of the report, if you applying an input contron over a specific block or chart, you will not get the values for ReportFilter
good luck

Error involving Report Generation Toolkit and Labview Run Time Engine

Developed an application using LabVIEW 6.1 and LabVIEW Report Generation Toolkit for Microsoft Office 1.0.1. From there, tried to build a shared application for use with the LabVIEW Run Time Engine. The Run Time version functions properly until "New Report.vi" is called and then an error is generated, code 7, calling out "Open VI Reference in New Report.vi" could not be found. When building the application, I did include the "NI Reports Support" in the advanced installer options. The machine used for original development and application build is running Windows XP Pro and Office XP. Any suggestions??

I am having the exact same problem but with LV 6.1 and M/S WORD 2000. It appears that the "New Report.vi" is trying to open "C:\APP.DIR\Word_Open.vi" and "C:\APP.Dir\Word_Open_Document.vi" by reference. The "OFFICE 2000.TXT" says that "_exclsub.llb and _wordsub.llb must be added as support files when building an application or a dynamic link library with the application builder." I added them as Support Files and I copied them to the "C:\TESTER\" where the TESTER.EXE is and I still get ERROR 7 in "NEW REPORT.VI" at VI OPEN REFERENCE.
Do I need to make a "C:\TESTER\DATA\" sub-dir and put the support files there?
I am building on MY COMPUTER on F: Drive on a network and transporting files to the real Tester.
I displayed my App.Property of APP.DI
R at start up and it is C:\TESTER\ ! How would my application know that "Word_Open.vi" and "Word_Open_Document.vi" are actually inside the _wordsub.llb?
Any ideas ?

Error 7 with Report Generation Toolkit

Hello Everyone,
I'm trying to generate an Excel sheet report for some readings using "Report Generation toolkit" But when trying to generate the report, the report generation part of code is executed and gives Error(7) and there is no report is generated.
The Code I use is atached in the following Link:
https://www.dropbox.com/s/9n4brimucsd0xts/Report%20Generation.rar
Can I get help please?
Thanks in advance
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I was able to download and open your compressed file. I unpacked it into a folder.
There are numerous peculiarities that lead me to ask "Are you trying to learn LabVIEW on your own, without a mentor and without training and guidance"? Here are some of the things that I noticed:
Although a Report Generation .lvproj, .aliases, and .lvlps file, the Project, when opened, was empty! Since Projects were added to LabVIEW, almost all development should take place in a Project, but you do not appear to be doing so.
You have an Event Loop (good) to handle pressing Start, Stop, and Report buttons. But instead of using Boolean controls with a Latch property and using a "Value Changed" event, you use Switch Until Released (which, so far, I've never used) and a Mouse Down Event. I suppose this could work, but I've never seen this pattern.
You are writing an Excel Report, but are not using the Excel-specific VIs (such as Excel Easy Table). Why (or Why Not)? The basic idea of an Excel Report is that you create the 2D text data you want to write into Excel, then with a few simple VIs, you open Excel, write the Table, and save the Report. In particular, you don't write out something that resembles the columns of the first few rows of a Spreadsheet (Date, Time, Test, etc.).
Now to your specific question, Error 7. Do you know what this error means? If you click on Help, choose Explain Error, and put in 7, you will see this means "File Not Found". Well, there is an obvious place where a File is used, right when your program starts. I recommend that you put a Probe (do you know about Probes?) or an Indicator on the path going into the main For loop and see what File you are trying to open (hint -- there's an error in the way you build the path, but you should be able to figure out how to fix it).
Good luck. Hope these suggestions get you on a Better Path.

Report Generation Toolkit: Page Numbering

When creating a Word Report using the Report Generation Toolkit, I am using the Word Set Page Numbering.vi to display the page numbers in the footer of each page of the report. This works fine when the include page x of n switch is turned OFF. However, when the switch is turned ON the numbers only show up in the left footer regardless of the position setting.
Is this a known bug?
If not where do I report it?
I guess I just did...

Hi Drugar,
I have filed a CAR (43K9NBF2) regarding this issue. I will look into fixing it for the next version of the Report Generation Toolkit. If you want to workaround the problem for now, go into vi.lib\addons\_office\word.llb\Word_auto_text_entry (for page number).vi. You can get a reference to the "Selection" property of the Application class. Then under Selection, get a reference to "ParagraphFormat". Then, you can set the "Alignment" property of the ParagraphFormat class.
Thanks for reporting this issue, and let me know if you have any other questions.

Error -2146827284 with report generation 1.1.4

Hi. Im working with Report Generation 1.1.4 and I was testing it for exporting data to an excel book. I was making some vi's to learn how to use it and do what I need it for. I need to take two non constant numeric values and save them in an excel table of two columns and graph them. The error comes when I transpose the original matrix, so i can have 2 columns instead of 2 rows in excel. In the picture you can also see that no graph is displayed. If anyone knows has experience doing this kind of activities between labview and excel I would appreciate some help! Thanks!

Why are you turning your array into a matrix? A matrix is not the same thing as an array. (They are related, but are not truly the same thing.)
Turn on context help and read about all the inputs into the charting function. You want to have a 2-D array. You are actually only starting off with a 1-D array. (Which you can't transpose if you wanted to because it is only 1 dimensional). Create a 2-D array of data to feed into the charting function. If you need to transpose that you can. Don't play with matrix transformations, they are rarely used and only for special math operations when they are. Wire up any other inputs to the charting function as needed. The default chart type is xlColumnClustered which I am going to guess is not truly the graph you want. You probably want an XYscatter.

Report Generation Toolkit Table Row Height-MS Word

I am having trouble setting the table row height in the report generation toolkit. I can set the column width fine, but the row height seems to remain the same no matter what I set it to. I have attached the VI that generates and formats the table, and the printout it is resulting in. I have also attached the template file I am using.
Any tips to get this to work right? I am trying to make the cells exactly the same height as the text inside.

Hi,
So I tried .2 and it didn't work. So I went to Word to manually change it, and it did not work either. There is a selection box in word, for the table properties, that seems to default to the value "at least". When I changed this manually to "exactly" in word, no problem with the .2 manually in Word.
Hopefully this can be set within the template, for all new inserted tables. I'm not sure the report generator VI's expose this property. Well, this is a start for the issue.
Edit ****
You can go into the add table VI and expose the property. See pic. However, you have to decide if you want to "upgrade" this VI permanently to expose this property or make a copy with the property exposed. I haven't messed with the new class reports too much, so not sure of the ins and outs with this.
I think this is the issue with the row size becoming smaller.

Decimal delimiter and excel report generation

Hello,
I've a problem with the "Report Generation Toolkit" while trying to generate reports in MS Excel.
I first select data from an Access database table. Although the database table contains information
in string-format as well as numbers, in the first instance it'll be passed as an array of strings to the
report generation vi's (generate easy table).
While my computer's region settings (WinXP) are always set to german standard I now get different
results if I on the one hand try to generate a report table in Word-format (Word Easy Table) and
on the other hand a report in Excel-format (Excel Easy Table).
While all numbers are displayed correctly within the Word-table, they aren't within the Excel-table.
Thereby (Excel-table) the numbers are converted falsely as shown below:
0,12345 -> 0,12345 (values < 1 are displayed correctly)
1,2345 -> 12.345 (false)
In my opinion there's a problem with the decimal delimiter. Does anybody have an idea of how to maybe
modify this way of working only within my application without changing my computer's region settings?
Thanks & Greets
Michael

On the one hand you can configure LabView to either use the localized decimal point or not (Menu Tools-->Options->Frontpanel->Use localized decimal point), on the other hand you can format singlse strings either with or without using the localized decimal point. The VI "format sting.vi" can use the format-sting %.; or %,; to define the decimal point. (Just make a double-left click on the VI to start the format-string editor for help).

Automating a report generation process

Hello guys!
I just took on a new role in a company which requires me to deal with SAP BEx Analyzer.
I'm completely new to this, but having gone through the report generation process, I feel the method I'm using is horribly tedious and I believe there should be a way to automate the process since it's a recurring monthly procedure.
What I have to do currently to get the report is:
1. Launch SAP Logon
2. Filter the Connection which i want to find (i'll call it "PQI").
3. Key in my Username, Password and Language
4. Select the third container in the folder (i'll call it "03")
5. After I open 03, it launches Excel with BEx Analyzer add in initialized. The report is currently empty
6. Select Change Variable Values, fill in Fiscal Year, Month and Accounting Area.
7. After which it will take like 15minutes to query, and a about 16,000 ++ rows are generated.
    Problem #1: The format isn't good, i have to right click on every cell that writes "Result" with yellow highlight and under it's properties I have to select         "Result Rows" > "Always Suppress". (Ref1.PNG)
     This is horribly painful considering I have to wait about 1 minute for each response (it's very slow). I have to repeat this for every yellow column in the
     report. Can this be automated or done in 1 step?
8. After doing so for all rows, I have to right click the table and select "Query Properties" and shift all the Free Characteristics (about 10) to "Rows".
     BUT, I can't do all at once, it will say "out of memory" and crash. I have to do so 2-3 rows at a time. Each time it'll take about 10-15 minutes to
     populate. It's very painful.
9. After it's all done, i have to repeat step 7 again, which is to Suppress all result rows (Ref2.PNG)
10.Followed by which I have to go to Query Properties > Display Options > Uncheck "supress repeated key values"
11. When that is done I have to generate a PivotTable on the data.
I have to repeat the same steps on a monthly basis.
Is there a way I can script it to run the process for me monthly? Or any other way to make it less tedious?
Thanks so much for any input or suggestion guys!
Warmest Regards
Brandon

Suppressing Result Rows can be done in Query designer itself for one time. You need not to do after you get the report every time.
If you always expect some 10 free chars constantly, i suggest you to insert them in Rows pane in Query designer but not in Analyzer. So that your report layout will be taking care with all settings what you want to do after the report generates in Excel. I mean you will get desired layout when you run the report first time itself.
Suppress repeated key values also can be done in Query designer itself one time.
By doing above, your report execution will not be tedious and it will be minimizing your efforts.
Over all, What I have understood is, you are doing all sorts of settings in Analyzer after getting such huge volume of data, by which it gives you crash error.
With all above steps, you can run your report with all pre-defined settings.

Report Generation Toolkit - Write cells to already open Excel file.

Greetings,
Does anyone know a way to write numeric cell values to a worksheet in an Excel
spreadsheet that is already in memory using the Report Generation Toolkit?
I've found that if the spreadsheet is already in memory and the user has made
changes to it without saving the changes, when LabVIEW opens the reference to
the report, the user’s changes are overwritten if they have not been saved
since LabVIEW opens the last saved version of the spreadsheet. I'm aware
that there is a setting to "display alerts" to the user but I'd
rather not do this. I would like simply to obtain a reference to the open
spreadsheet without re-opening the spreadsheet file.
Thanks in advance!

Space_Flight:
I do not believe this is possible to do with the report generation VIs
(although I have VERY little experience with these. If you really had
to do it this way, you could use activeX controls to manually right
values to cells in an open excel spreadsheet, but this can get rather
cumbersome. Are users changing the values in the spreadsheet while
your program is running? Is there maybe a way around this?
