Can be passed Formula Column value to Procedure/Function?

Below cf_value is return after some calculation by using main query.
Can be directly passed formula column value to procedure without assinged to placeorder?
as below..
f_convert(:cf_value,new_value);
My Procedure is...
PROCEDURE f_convert( val1 in number,val2 in out number) IS
BEGIN
val2 := val1 * 100;
END;
If anyone knows pls reply me....

Actually, if there is any other calculations there (In Proceudre)
Can I used is as below??
PROCEDURE f_convert( val1 in number,val2 in out number) IS
BEGIN
val2 := val1 * 100;
return (val2);
END;
----A procedure cannot return a value, the return clause in my previous post was part of the function for formula column.
Suppose you have a formula column say CF_2 then the function for it will be as:
function cf_2formula return number
is
val1 number;
val2 number;
begin
val2 := :cf_1 * 100; -- or val2 := val1 * 100 --parameters not allowed in formula column function
-- All the other code that you need inclusive of calling function, procedure as in any PL/SQL block can be placed
return (val2);
end;So any other calculation can be used in the formula column function

Exception (colouring cells) in report output based on formula.

Hi Gurus,
I want to colour my cells in report output. But this coloring is not so simple. It has to be done based on a formula.
Lets say i have material in rows and sales value by period in columns.
.......................Jan'08......Feb'08.......Mar'08.....Apr'08
Material A...........100..........120............105.........140
If Feb'08 values is greater than 0,02*Jan'08 value than ---> Feb'08 has to be coloured as green. etc.
Is it possible to define such a rule for the exception?
Thanks
S.P.

Hi Reddy,
I am using bex 7.0.
I tried that also.
I created another formula in columns with name "Difference" and it calculates the difference.
Report looks like as below:
Material.....Jan'08.......Feb'08.....Difference
ABC............100............120.............0,2
Now, I have to colour Feb'08 column, based on the value under Difference column. But it does not work.
In Exception settings; from Definition tab, I selected Difference column (exception is based on).
In Display tab, I select Feb'08 column.
But it does not work.
Any idea?
Thanks

Report painter variables in formula columns

Hello,
I need to insert variable in column formula to create average month result.
using syntax 'variable' or &variable is Incorrect formula component message .
How can i enter variables in formula columns?
Thanks ,
Ran

Hi
I suspect you are not able to use the '& symbol in the formula in your system because the note 593897 was not present in old release.
Due to this note there is no need to enter '&' symbol for variables in the formula but in order for the variables to be used please make sure that the variable is contained in the general data selection of the report.

Hi kanish
Regarding Nul...
-u have to make sure that the formula is working fine and displaying the result in the form screen
-then the item u r storing MUST be a db item >yes and has a column name
-first of all select Help > display_error in the forms runtime may a db item error arais and the record is not correctly saved as u imagined.
u have 2 choices for the solution , i had both before may be it's not very cute but it will work...
1. In when-validate-item Trigger or related item triggers pls follow
SELECT Nvl(( :qty*:rate ) ,0)
INTO :UR_ITEM
FROM DUAL;2.In Pre-Update,Pre-Insert & Pre-Delete Triggers Pls assign the result of ur formula column to the item u want to calc as supposing u r doing the calc of formula in non-db item , then put the following in triggers mentioned ...
: item_name :=:qty*:rate;Hope this helps...

Hi Rainer,
Many Thanks for your reply
I had done all the calculations in the report view earlier
and when i accessed it in the data template as follows
<element name="netSum" value="netSum" />
the xml output that i got was like
<R007>
<response>
<head>
<itemCount>8</itemCount>
<todayDate>2009-02-05T15:50:12.000+01:00</todayDate>
<creditorBGNumber>01829209</creditorBGNumber>
<creditorName>ANDROMEDA</creditorName>
</head>
<list>
<listItem>
<transactionDate>2008-09-03T00:00:00.000+02:00</transactionDate>
<netSum>-6647999</netSum>
<transactions>
<transaction>
<transactionType>AGCREDIT_TRANSFER</transactionType>
<serialNumber>5</serialNumber>
<amount>-1687200</amount>
</transaction>
</transactions>
</listItem>
</list>
</response>
</R007>
But the output that i want is something like this
<R007>
<response>
<head>
<itemCount>8</itemCount>
<todayDate>2009-02-05T15:50:12.000+01:00</todayDate>

<amount>-1687200</amount>
</transaction>
</transactions>
<netSum>-6647999</netSum>
</listItem>
</list>
</response>
</R007>
Hence I used the BIP built in template function like this
<element name="netSum" value="transaction.SIGN_AMOUNT" function="SUM()"/>
but the sum() function is adding up all amounts as expexted,I want
the above newsum value as
Sum(AGdebit-AGCREDIT-AG_refund).

Formula Column help please - URGENT

I'm trying to create a formula column as follows:
function NO_REPLIESFormula return Number is
NOREPLY number;
begin
SELECT COUNT(reply) INTO NOREPLY
FROM letters
WHERE reply = 'N'
GROUP BY ltrtype, batch;
RETURN (NOREPLY);
end;
This PL/SQL compiles fine, but when I run the report, I get the following messages:
REP-1401 no_repliesformula FATAL PL/SQL error occured. ORA-01422 exact fetch returns more than requested number of rows.
If I remove the GROUP BY ltrtype, batch, I don't get the error messages, but the result I get is the total no_replies instead of the total no_replies for each ltrtype/batch grouping.
Could someone please help me with this?
Thank you.

Hi irish,
I think i am not sure about what you are trying to say, but let me guess, You want the values to be return on the bases of "ltrtype, batch". Which mea that you want more then one values, i mean there can be more then one Groups based on ltrtype and batch. and you want to display these values with repective record???
If i am right, then there is a fault in your code, and that is , you are not specifing in your code that which value is to be diplayed with which record in this report. For that there must be ltrtype, batch colums displayed in the report, you must add those values in your Code in the query, i.e.
function NO_REPLIESFormula return Number is
NOREPLY number;
begin
SELECT COUNT(reply) INTO NOREPLY
FROM letters
WHERE reply = 'N' and ltrtype= :V_ltrtype and batch=:v_batch;
RETURN (NOREPLY);
end;
Where :V_ltrtype and :v_batch are the run time values of each records displayed in the report.
Remember that if you don't sepecify this then your code will return as many records as many distich values of ltrtype, batch. and your variable NOREPLY can hold only one value at a time. I hope you understand both, Solution and the logic behind the error.
Please correct me if i am wrong.
Thanks.

However, if parameter meet more than one record then there is no issue with column heading and reports is working find.

Here is an example, will show the actual problem. Let explain you, first i have run report by restricting query on single record which output name is "output1", again i run same report by changing where clause so it return multiple row which is "output2". if you past code in text document each one and save it as xml but when you open this file in excel report you will find column heading which rows consist multiple row, however, ouput1 file have no heading columns that's a problem.

Prompt Order when opening Report - And order in List Of Values

I guess this is a fearly easy question... But I thought easier to ask you guys than struggling all night.
1 - I have a report with some prompts. How do I change the order they appear in ?
2 - For some List Of Values I have really a strange order. How come ? And What should I do to fix it ?
Hoping on some good answers in the weekend
Best Regards
Ingrid

Hi Ingrid,
You can set the "Prompt Order" in "Properties" tab in the Query Panel.
1.Make sure that you are in the Query Panel. Make sure that "Edit Query" button is pressed.
2.Click on the "Properties" tab, just beside "Data" Tab
3.Scroll down to see the "Prompt Order" option. Select the prompt and use " UP or DOWN" arrows (not the keyboard arrows. Expand the "properties" tab window, if you don't see the arrows) to change the prompt order.
Thanks,
Raveendra

Applying order by for the data comming from the formula column

Dear Friends,
I am having a report in which some of the columns in which data is comming from the formula columns,but i need the data in asc order.
How can i do it.
Please advice.

I am having a report in which some of the columns in
which data is coming from the formula columns,but i
need the data in asc order.Lets say you have this query:
select empno, sal, comm from emp
And you have empno, sal, comm and a formula column 'f_percentage' in one group. Add one dummy column in the query, like this:
select 'temp' temp, empno, sal, comm from emp
Move this 'temp' column into the second group (drag and drop outside the first group). You don't have to create repeating frame/or need to show this 'temp' column on the report.
Now if you use break order on formula column, that should work. Make sure you have break order on other columns also. Arrange items (change order) in data model as you needed. Run your report before and after this change and make sure you have same number of rows before and after this change.
(from reports builder's help)
"Break Order has no effect on columns that belong to the lowest group of a particular query. Break Order only affects columns in groups that are above the lowest child group of a query"

FSG report not printing column values on same line but sequentially

FSG report problem:
We have defined 2 FSG reports 'Balance Sheet - Total' and 'Balance Sheet - Detail'. Both reports have 3 column values, namely the value in Euro (our Functional Currency), the value in MUR - Mauritian rupees (our reporting currency) and the rate of exchange.
The report 'Balance Sheet - Total' displays these values for assets e.g.:-
EURO MUR Rate of exchange
Non-current assets
1. Intangible assets ? ? ?
2. Other investments ? ? ?
(note: ? represents a certain value)
The report 'Balance Sheet - Detail' displays values as follows :-
Account EURO MUR Rate of exchange
1. Property & Equipment
A10101 Building Cost ? 0.00 0.0000
A20105 Motor Veh Accum Dep ? 0.00 0.0000
TOTAL ? 0.00 0.0000
A10101 Building Cost 0.00 ? n/m
A20105 Motor Veh Accum Dep 0.00 ? n/m
(note: ? represents a certain value)
What we don't understand s why the 'Balance Sheet - Detail' report repeats the display of column values in MUR FOLLOWING the display in EURO, instead of displaying column values for EURO and MUR on the same line, just like in the case for 'Balance Sheet - Total'.
Is there anything in the definition of column set, row set or report set should I change?
Can anybody help. Thanks.
null

The problem is related to defining the column set properly. It is OK with the first report and needs modification for the second. Formatting is also important so that they appear in the same line(row). The columns need to be linked to the fileds and assignment to set of books is also important as mentioned by Rajsekhar

Update a list item based sort order of created by column value

HI
using powershell script how to sort a list column before update a list item.
here i created a document library and uploaded some documents and update ProcessNo column based sort order of created column
value.
Add-PSSnapin Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell -EA SilentlyContinue
$webURL = "http://tspmcwfe:91" $listName = "Courts"
Get the SPWeb object and save it to a variable
$web = Get-SPWeb $webURL
$list = $web.Lists[$listName]
$items = $list.items
Go through all items
foreach($item in $items)
$item["ProcessNo"] = 1
$item.Update()
$web.Dispose()

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to sort the list items order before updating items using PowerShell.
I suggest you can use the Sort-Object command to sort the list items.
Here are some detailed articles for your reference:
