Report in Multiple Columns Not Tabular

Example, we have a search to return departments by building. The "building_name" (linked via "building_id") is clicked returning a listing of the "dept_name" (linked via "dept_id") in that building.
Rather than use the "next" button and have to page the list, we'd like to output perhaps 5 department names, then continue to the next column for 5 more, and so on... we'll never have so many it would take more than a few columns.
So far I haven't come up with a way to output this format. Assistance and pointers appreciated. TIA

Hi Ian,
Thanks for the information. Right now i am working on a development environment and dont have access to UAT and Production Environments yet. So i am not in a position to judge the performance impact of a report by using boxes and lines and place the fileds in them. Can you please tell me whether these boxes impact the report performanc.
Thanks

APEX Interactive Report - sum multiple columns table1 X with table2 value

I have a challenge in oracle apex, were i want to sum multiple columns to give 3 extra rows namely points, Score, %score. There are more columns but chose only few for now.
Below is an example structure of my data:
Town | Sector | Outside| Inside |Available|Price
Roy-----Formal----0----------0----------1------0
Kobus Formal--0 ---------0--------- 1------0
Wika ---Formal----0----------0--------- 1------0
Mevo----Formal----1----------1---------1------0
Hoch----Formal----1----------1---------1-------1
Points--------------2----------2----------5-------1
Score-------------10---------10---------10------10
%score-----------20---------20---------50------10
Each column has a constant weighting (which serves as a factor and it can change depending on the areas) in this case the weighting for this areas are the ones in the first row for the sector Formal:
Sector |Outside| Inside |Available|Price
Formal----1----------1 ----------1-----1
Informal--1----------0 ----------2-----1
I tried using the aggregate sum function in apex but it wont work since i need the factor in the other table. Which is where my challenge started
To compute the rows below the report:
points = sum per column * weighting factor per column
Score = sum of no of shops visited (in this case its 5) * weighting factor per column
% score = points/Score * 100
The report should display as described above. With the new computed rows below.
I kindly ask anyone to assist me with this challenge as i tried searchin on the internet for solutions but havent come across any.
Thanks a lot for your support in advance!!

It would be much easier to do this in a standard report where you've complete control over the query SQL and the report structure.
When you have a problem you'll get a faster, more effective response by including as much relevant information as possible upfront. This should include:
<li>Full APEX version
<li>Full DB/version/edition/host OS
<li>Web server architecture (EPG, OHS or APEX listener/host OS)
<li>Browser(s) and version(s) used
<li>Theme
<li>Template(s)
<li>Region/item type(s) (making particular distinction as to whether a "report" is a standard report, an interactive report, or in fact an "updateable report" (i.e. a tabular form)
With APEX we're also fortunate to have a great resource in apex.oracle.com where we can reproduce and share problems. Reproducing things there is the best way to troubleshoot most issues, especially those relating to layout and visual formatting. If you expect a detailed answer then it's appropriate for you to take on a significant part of the effort by getting as far as possible with an example of the problem on apex.oracle.com before asking for assistance with specific issues, which we can then see at first hand.

EvDRE Report with multiple columns

Hi,
I need to load Actual Sales data for that I am creating an input schedule using EvDRE. I created a 3x3 schedule. But while doing that I get the following error in A1.
#ERR: Duplicate <dimension> on axis, col# 2
I believe this is because Dimension in Expansion 1 (Quantity), 2 (Price) and 3 (Amount) are same i.e. Account.
Kindly advise how can I load my data in the following format
Time Product Entity Account (Quantity) Account (Price) Account (Amount)
Thanks
Regards
Pooja

Hi Alwin,
Let me give you some more details.
I have created a normal EvDRE report. In Row I have Time, Product and Entity while in Row I have Account Dimension. Now since I want Quantity, Price and Amount (These are members of account Dimension) all three of them to be visible in three different columns. I need to put the right value in Member Selection for Column Expansion. So I tried putting ALL (since there are only 3 members). It didn't work. Then I tried specifying member list as 'Quantity, Price, Amount'. But even this gives error. I do not get EvRDE error (i.e. Error in A1 cell) while I get error when I try to expand. The error is as below:
EVDRE encountered an error retrieving data from the Web Server.
Please let me know if you want further details.
Regards
Pooja

Crystal Report multiple columns

I'm having trouble with Crystal Report's multiple columns in the detail section.
The details section, the multiple columns is checked then the printing direction is across - down. Since the form I am using is a pre-printed form, by estimation it can only allow at best 30 records in one page, that is 15 in the 1st half of the column and another 15 records on the next. For visual:
Invoice No    Invoice Date        invoice total                                               Invoice No    Invoice Date        invoice total
1                                                                                16
2                                                                                17
3                                                                                .
.                                                                                28
14                                                                                29
15                                                                                30
For some reason there is this giant space after the last set of rows before it prints out the page footer. This giant blank section disrupts the layout of the page footer section.
Here are some info on the details section as configuration is involved:
Format with Multiple Columns - checked
In Paging: New Page after 30 visible Records
In Layout: Width: 3.5 in       Height: 0.0 in
                 Horizontal: 0.0 in      Vertical: 0.0 in
Printing Direction: Across-Down
Anyone knows how to suppress it or have the page footer move upwards?
P.S To see actual pre-printed form, please download this [http://www.mediafire.com/i/?csu0q75mjynys2k]
Edited by: Khristine Angelei Basilla on Mar 1, 2012 8:34 AM

Now why didn't I try that out. Actually, initial plan was 2 subreports.
So when I added the second subreport in the group footer section, it only prints the details on the last page, which should not be the case as I need to be printed on all pages.
I'll test it out. I'll post an update soon.
Thanks.

Not getting data in OBIEE report while pulling columns from different DB

Hi All,
I am creating a report in OBIEE 11g which uses Table A and table B which are joined in both physical layer and BMM layer. But somehow I am not getting any data in the report where as data is actually present for the matching joining columns. However when I made one of the tables (Table A ) as a driving table, I am getting data but only with a filter applied in the report which restricts the data to few records. If the filter is removed, I get an error which is " A Drive Table join exceeded the limit of XXX backend database queries".
Could anyone tell me what can be the issue? Other than using driving table, is there any alternate method to resolve the issue?
Thanks In Advance,
Anju

The error is due to the setting MAX_QUERIES_PER_DRIVE_JOIN in the database features table that controls and tunes driving table performance. Also, try to follow these blogposts to do cross-database joins/federated queries: http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/03/19/oracle-bi-ee-101332-cross-database-joins/ and http://www.rittmanmead.com/2007/10/reporting-against-multiple-datasources-in-obiee/
Please assign points if helpful/correct.

Multiple Column Report Question

Post Author: LCS213
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I'm creating a student transcript report that has multiple columns, and is three groups deep. The first two groups need to be in a columnar layout. However, I'd like the third group to contain a subreport that spans the width of the entire page.
Are there any options within Crystal XI to do this? I know in the Section Expert, i can format the detail level with multiple columns, and on the Layout tab, I can select "Format Groups with multiple columns". But that seems like it either formats ALL groups or NO groups. Am I mistaken? Is there a workaround I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!

Hi Dan,
According to your description, we are not clear about the “6 sections for each Additional task”. Do you mean six data records? If so, based on my understanding, there are three groups and eighteen records in your report. You want to make those records appear
on eighteen separated pages, right?
In Reporting Service, we can add a page break to groups within data regions to control the amount of information on each page. In your scenario, you should add page break to group “Sub task”, group “Additional Task” and details. As we tested in our environment,
add page break to these records, the report appears in eighteen pages. Please refer to steps below:
1.On Group Properties of Details1, choose “Between each instance of a group” option on Page Breaks page. Please refer to screenshot below:
Choose same option on Group Properties for group “Month” and “Name”.
2.Click drop-down button next to Column Groups, then choose Advanced Mode.
3.Click on Static under Row Groups, set RepeatOnNewPage as True in Tablix Member Properties.
4.Click Preview, the results before and after adding page break look like below:
If you still have any question, please post some detail information or screenshot about the report design you expect.
Best regards,

Report with multiple dimensions in Row and Column with EvEXP

Hi
We are currently running BPC 7.0 SP3 and try to create the report(or schedule) with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column.
e.g.
row dimension : Outer row is Entity, Inner row is Account
column dimension : Outer column is Time, Inner row is Category
We created the report with 2 x 2 dimensions like above e.g. with EvEXP and EvNXP, NOT EvDRE
based on default dynamic template:Template13.xlt(Nested Row, 2 x 1 dimensions defined by EvEXP and EvNXP formula).
However, when expanding the dimension with double click these dimensions or change CV of the report with 2 x 2 dimensions defined by EvEXP and EvNXP formula,
error occurs on EvEXP and EvNXP formula and can't retrieve the result correctly.
[Question]
Can't we create the report with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column using EvEXP and EvNXP function ?
We understand that we can make the report with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column if using EvDRE.
Thank You in advance
Kenya

Thank you for your advice.
I understand that we should use EvDRE when creating the report with multiple dimension in the row/column　because EvEXP have some erros, poor performance, etc.
Then, we have two questions.
1)
>plus they had some errors in the designs.
what kind of errors they have as an example?
2)
>If you must build the EVEXP and EVNXP, I would suggest building the template from scratch
We built the simple template with just 2 x 2 dimension from scratch.
But this report doesn't work well when double-click the dimension or changing CV...
Would you please check the following template?
<https://sapmats-de.sap-ag.de/download/download.cgi?id=RCZE1ME4YSORY3DCDO4NNMANZLBL1L5ZBUOB2F71YVNVS8XDJW>
It would be greatly appreciated if you could give me your advice for the template.
Thank you again
And my best regards,
Kenya

Multiple Column Header in Report (BEx and Web Reporting)

Hi All,
 I've a requirement where my reports is having multiple column header.
 To be precise the column header is further divided into many sub-columns (upto 4 levels).
Structure cannot help in this case since we have more than 2 such columns and we are using web reporting as well.
Here is how it looks
 Header-A
Header-B1 | Header-B2 | Header-B3 | Header-Bn
Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2 |Hdr-D1 |Hdr-D2 |Hdr-E1 |Hdr-E2 |Hdr-Fn..
The above is a sample header structure.
This report will be a Web Based report and I need to know whether its possible to do it in BEx also.
We are not using Crystal Reports.
If there is any document related to this, please mail to
[email protected]
Thanks & Regards,
Chandran Ganesan

Hi Chandran,
I hope i am getting your problem right.
If your
Header-B1 | Header-B2 | Header-B3 | Header-Bn
Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2 |Hdr-D1 |Hdr-D2 |Hdr-E1 |Hdr-E2 |Hdr-Fn..
are a set of key figures, then there is an option.
For example:
You drag Header-B1,Hdr-C1 |Hdr-C2
into column section.Right click on Hdr-C1, Hdr-C2 and select down under. So your Hdr-C1, Hdr-C2 will be under
Header-B1.
Like wise drag Header-B2,Hdr-D1,Hdr-D2
Right click on Hdr-D1,Hdr-D2 and say Down under and these two will fit below Header-B2.
You can repeat the above steps for Header-B3... Header-Bn
The output will be same as the one you have specified above.
Hope it helps,
Regards,
Parth.

Design a single template for multiple reports with different column order

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to Crystal Report 2008, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks in advance.

-As I mentioned you can find Template Field object in Insert menu of crystal report Designer 2008.
As soon as you select Template Field object you will be able to see a box beside ur mouse cursor. Drag and drop this box at required place. Now when you place this object in report you will get some thing like this "<TemplateField1>" listed under Formula Fields tree. Double click "<TemplateField1>" formula to add your conditions.
-I have not tested it for large amount of Customers. However as the number of customer increases the number of conditions will get increased.
For the customer that want the same ordering of columns you can put those customers under one condition.
 for Example...
 if(?Client in ['clientA','clientA']) then
 <TableName>.<Field>......
-What do you mean be 40 columns? Do you mean 40 fields or you want to show 40 columns in report? Please elaborate.
Regards,
Amrita

Fill multiple columns of the report at once ???

I have been told that when coding a Report, there is some way to fill multiple columns of the report at once.
Instead of
select
field1,
field2....
You could do
<????> filling field 1 and 2
My source was vague as to what kind of thing it would be that could give a value to more than one column at one time.
Can anyone help me here? Sorry to not have any more specifics.
Thanks, Wayne

You can have placeholder columns and assign the output of your select statement to the place holder columns.

BO xi 3.1 u2013 schedule a template for multiple reports with different column

Hi,
I need to migrate the existing reports from SQL Server Reporting Services to BO, and the column order in the report is very important to the clients since clients have existing code to ingest these reports into their database. Now I want to schedule a single template with different parameters for all reports in BO, or create a single template with lot of parameters for all reports. My question is how I might use one template to create multiple reports with different column orders in the reports?
For example, client A has the following column order in their report: firstName, LastName, DateBirth, SSN. Client B has the following column order in their report: SSN, DateBirth, LastName, FirstName. Can I use one template to create these multiple reports?
Thanks!

Hi,
The only approach I can think of is to create a template report which uses variables
For each column you would need to variable
v_columnAName and v_columnAValue
v_columnAName would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";NameOf([firstName]);if([client]="clientB";NameOf([SSN]);NameOf([lastName]));
v_columnA would have a if statement in it
=if([client]="clientA" or [client]="clientC";[firstName];if([client]="clientB";[SSN],[lastName]));
This would only work when you had a small set of clients.
This might be more managable if it was done in the universe

Alan

Custom Report: Actuals paid by Fiscal Year- multiple Columns

Has anyone created a "time-scaled" InfoMaker report using "actuals paid"? We would like to create a report that shows actual payments made on each project broken down by fiscal year... so a single project may show actuals paid for FY 07-08, FY 08-09, and FY 09-10.. so "Actuals" would appear 3 times on the same report- based, on the approval date.
I know that P6 can do this quite easily, but we are not linking CM to P6 schedule yet.

Yes, I've created many reports of this nature including building a table that can be used to select a specific period for reporting on a given range. Have created these reports in several formats including tabular, crosstab, and graphical (and combinations of those).

Multiple column report

Hi,I am designing a 3 column crystal report. Each column can hold 30 records. I would like the first 30 records printed straight down the 1st column and the 31 record printed on the 2nd column. I can't find a way to tell CR to do so. Thanks for any help.Joy Liaw

this is what I did when I needed multi culumns,
go to section expert on Detail section. on common tab,
at end of list is a chec for multiple columns, after that is checked a new tab is displayed,called layout, from there set up your columns.
