Report painter formatting problem

Hi
I was working on a report in GR32 and seems screwed up.Now the report's decimal is not coming up.When I goto formating and select the decimal option , decimal comes up but spacing between columns get affected.Can anybody tells me how to fix the formating issue of columns. I mean adding decimal,comma and space between columns ?
Thanks
Satya

i am explainig for report painter reports ( similar way must be there for report writer)
go to grr2
you will see on top of the columns 'format group : 0' written.
when you go to formatting -> columns you will seee a format group on the top and below you will see the width , decimal places etc.
say you want to have column a very wide and column B needs to be filled with only one or 2 numbers then on top of column A you can the format group to 0. Then click on formatting-> columns and make the widht eg 20.
for column B on top of the column change the format group to 1. Then go to formatting -> columns then select the format group as 1 and then make the width to 2.
This way you can have different widths, decimals etc for differenet columns
Assign points if helfpfull,

Report painter performance problem...

I have a client which runs a report group consists of 14 reports... When we run this program... It takes about 20 minutes to get results... I was assigned to optimize this report...
This is what I've done so far
(this is a SAP generated program)...
1. I've checked the tables that the program are using... (a customized table with more than 20,000 entries and many others)
2. I've created secondary indexes to the main customized table with (20,000) entries - It improves the performance a bit(results about 18 minutes)...
3. I divided the report group by 4... 3 reports each report group... It greatly improves the performance... (but this is not what the client wants)...
4. I've read an article about report group performance that it is a bug.
(sap support recognized the fact that we are dealing with a bug in the sap standard functionality)

Anyone have the same problem as mine?

Report Painter Formatting

Guys,
I have designed a profit center report using library 0FL in report painter.its working fine, but I have problem in formatting.I wanted to make the lines appear in BOLD font.I tried "color for emphasis".it didn't work,then I checked color for totals,so totals are coming up in bold.Is there any way to make the data appear in BOLD font for every line.Thanks

Andrew,
But I saw when you select "color for Totals" its coming up in bold font.but if you just select "color for emphasis".its not doing anything.All the lines appear in regular font.Thanks

I want to know how can i execute a selected indiviual report when there are about number of reports present in the library assigned to that group.
Please provide me guidelines for solving this problem.

Hi,
The reports in a report group are executed at the same time, so that in the report display you can switch between the individual reports.
Thanks.

Report Painter language problem

Hi,
When we logon to Report painter Reports in Polish Language, the report is not displayed in Polish Language.. but English language..
I have checked the following:-
1. PL language is maintained in GCRS T-Code.
2. The concerned GL also appears in SKAT table in PL language.
3. I have also executed GR59 to import it from Source client 000
4. Also executed GR55 to execute the report group.
5. Also checked SAP Note No. 719246.
The GL's despite that appears in English language and not in Polish Language.. Any idea what can be done to get the display in Polish language.

XML Publisher to Excel Report : Date format problem

Hi,
I am trying to create an Excel report with XML Publisher. I have an issue with the Date Fomatting.
In the XML template, I have set the "Date" column in date format. But the excel output report "Date" column returns as "General text" (string) and it is sorted as text, not as date.
Can anyone please help me out?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
Did this post solve your problem? I have the same issue that I need to solve.
I have an xsl-fo template with dates in it.
The dates are in english.
My excel is setup to use danish.
When I export to excel it knows the month jan, feb, mar, apr, ... which are the same in danish and english.
But months where it differs like may (danish maj) the cell is a general text instead of date.
Is there anyway you can set/transform the date in the xsl-fo template so it does not care about the language in excel?
Thank you in advance.

Report Painter - Format group for columns in more than one section

How do have different decimals for columns in different sections.
For. e.g I have three sections
one for quantity (I do not need decimals)
two for dollars (I do not need decimals)
three for formula dollar upon quantity (I need to have two decimals)
I made format group 0 (with no decimals) for first two sections and format group 1 (with two decimals) for the last section.
4.6c does not consider format group 1 and makes every section look alike with format group 0 i.e, no decimals.
How to overcome this?

Anders,
I replied earlier but after reading you post several times I realized that I probably misunderstood what you want. This is what I now understand. You have several resources, each of who may work on various parts of design tasks, assembly tasks, and test
tasks. For example, let's say your resources are Joe, Bill & Tom. Joe is assigned to a design and test task, Bill is assigned to an assembly and test test task and Tom is assigned to a design task, an assembly task and a test task (Tom is very versatile).
You would like to see a report showing just the assembly tasks and the amount of work each of the three resources is assigned on those tasks.
Assuming the above is a correct interpretation, you will need to employ three processes, some VBA, grouping and filtering.
1. First, designate a custom text field for group identification (e.g. use Task Text1 to enter "design", "assembly", or "test" for each task)
2. In order to use grouping and filtering effectively, you will need to translate the Task Text1 information to the Assignment Text1 field. To do that, go to the MVP website at: http://project.mvps.org/faqs.htm, and run the macro in FAQ 37.
3. Now go to the Task Usage view and set up a group with Text1 as the first group by element and Name as the second group by element. Check the box to group assignments and not tasks. Then select "assignment" for field type of the second element
(i.e. Name).
4. Apply the group
5. To show only the work hours for each resource in a specific group, autofilter on the desired group. Note, if you do not run the macro to populate the Assignment Text1 field with the Task Text1 field, the filter will yield nothing.
Hope this helps

Reports layout/format problem when called from forms

hi,
using forms and reports builder 10g OS winxp
i have created web and paper layout report with pre-defined template gray (rdf). when i run the web layout there is no problem.
when i call this report from form using
web.show_document('http://machine:8889/reports/rwservlet?report=mail_report.rdf&destype=cache&desformat=HTML&userid=abc/xyz@dbname&para1='||:parameter1, '_blank');
the layout (cell bgcolors of the table) does not appear.
pl guide what am i missing out.
thanks

Hi,
that has nothing to do with forms. Your call inside web.show_document is a servlet-call. With this you get the paper layout of a report. If you want to get the web-layout, you have to call the report with a jsp-call. In your case that might look like http://machine:8889/reports/mail_report.jsp?userid=.....
If you store your report as jsp-file, you can use it for paper & web-layout, as rdf only paper-layout is possible.

Report Painter Format required ...

Hi ...
I'm have a requirement to have something like this format ....
TurnOver Jun06 Curr Mo June05 Curr Mo Var($) Var(%) Jan-Jun06 Cumu Jan-Jun05 Cumu Var($) Var(%)
Whereby " Jun06 Curr Mo, June05 Curr Mo, Var($), Var(%), Jan-Jun06 Cumu, Jan-Jun05 Cumu, Var$), Var(%). is column and Row will be TurnOver which has hierarchy under it ...
Can anyone advise which library should I look for this format. I noticed under library 1VK ... there are similarities ... but there is some difference ...if I were to copy this how will Ibe able customize it
Pls assist
Nathan

Hi Nathan,
Usually if you're reporting out cost based on cost centre we'll use CCA reporting, thus library 1VK. However, if I want to use profit center to report out the cost, I will use library 8A2. The reason is that each of the library works with the particular module involved and is specific in that sense.
For authorization, I am merely pointing out the fact that you need to have the right authorization to maintain/create library, just so you can change/create data types.
Hope this helps.
Cheers,
Gimmo

Doubt about sub totaling in Report Painter

Hi,
I am new to the report painter and i want to know that is there a possibility of performing the sub total in the output.
Suppose,i had defined a row and column and in the row i had given the range of the Account Numbers and in the column i had defined the local currency. As there are a lot of GL Account Numbers i.e. 1000,2000,40000 and so on....
Is it possible to display the out put on the basis of sub total ? I had seen a sub total button during the creation of report in report painter format and i had defined Account Number to be explode .
When i execute the report it displays the grand total of the whole accounts.. I want to show sub total also.
Please provide me guidelines to solve this problem.

Dont worry. Its pretty easy to catch his clone. All his questions follow a pattern. Plus he asks a hundred question on the same issue. Also, he's probably the only ABAPer who extensively works on Report Writers.

Report painter problem very urgent

Hi to ALL,
I have prepared two reports of cost centre through report painter. The format is proper is both the reports. The set is also correct and values in set(i.e cost centres) are also properly
but when we execute the report one report is being executed properly while other shows zero values. only when i doubleclick on zero amt and go to plan line items then it shows me values for that particular row in report.
Why is it so? what is solution to it? can it be possible that my tables are not correct. Ia m using CCSS table.
Pls this is very urgent
Thanks in advance
Tanuja

Hi
Can you check one thing...after selecting the zero you are getting the line item...chekc the total of that items...if it is coming zero..then no problem.
If not you can check in the no.format of that report. If you select the lacs format and your amount is below ten thousand...you will get the zero value only

Problem in Exporting a Report Group having a Report Painter Report.

I am having a problem in exporting a Report group having a Report Painter report.When I am trying to export the Report Group using transaction GR57 with all dependent objects,it is displaying:
       group 0102CPDNUEA-CCROSI not transported.
       Transport groups separately if necessary.
There are 6 such groups which are not transported.Can anybody help me in this regards.Can anybody help me in exporting these Groups.Specifically in Report painter reports what do these Groups signify and how can we see them.Please help me....

hi,
I am able to export my report groups with dependent objects successfully.
I dont know why you are getting error message. Just keep break point at ***** and execute it for single group and find out why it is giving error.
IF SY-BATCH = 'X' OR NO_LIST = 'X'. "direct or batch
    SET PF-STATUS 'LIST'.
*****PERFORM TRANSPORT_OBJS USING 'X'. "transport all jobs
    IF FILE_EXP <> 'X'.
      READ TABLE WT_E071 INDEX 1.
      IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
        LEAVE.
      ENDIF.
    ENDIF.
ELSE.                                "online
    SET PF-STATUS 'MENU'.
