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
Regards
Shaun

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
Regards
Shaun

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 - 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

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.

Conditional formating in report painter (GRR2)

Hi all,
An end user ask me if it's possible to do a conditional formatting in a cell of report painter (run with GRR3) if the value is true (i.e. as in excel, you can colour a cell if it's less than zero and so on). I know that it's possible with the BEx (for SAP BI), xcelsius, crystal reports and surely with bussiness object. I can see that it's only available do the format for the all column or for a line, but I don't find the option for a cell with a condition (surely because it isn't available).
Please, confirm me if it is not available, because I'm a long time looking for a reply but I only find info about BEx, xcelsius and so on (nothing related with report painter, GRR2 and so on). But if it's possible, please let me know how to do it.
Thanks in advance
Best regards,
Eduardo

Hi,
I don't think that we can put the conditional formula. but we can do the calcualtion by row wise or column wise.
Thanks.

Report Painter Fonts & Formats

I have created some report painter reports, but cant find any way of changing the fonts that the results are displayed in?
Does report painter only allow one font to be used?
Thanks

是这样的，其实一般的报表可以不用去取report painter的结果，只需要直接取数据库表即可，但有些report painter做出
来的报表逻辑较复杂，而且顾问考虑到其它各种各样的因素，如果直接去取表，逻辑将会很复杂，很麻烦，而且今后
对数是个问题，所以就决定直接去拿report painter生成的报表，请帮忙想想法，谢谢。

Creation of report with the help of report painter

Thanks in advance

Hello Chinasammy,
Report Painter allows you to create reports using data from SAP application components, which you can adapt to meet your individual requirements.
Many of your reporting requirements can already be met by using the standard reports provided by various SAP application components. If these SAP standard reports do not meet your reporting needs, Report Painter enables you to define your specific reports quickly and easily.
When executing a Report Painter report, it is displayed by the system in Report Writer format. You thus have access to the same functions as for Report Writer reports defined in the same way, and can combine Report Painter and Report Writer reports together in a report group.
Report Painter uses a graphical report structure, which forms the basis for your report definition and displays the rows and columns as they appear in the final report output.
To facilitate report definition, you can use many of the standard reporting objects provided by SAP (such as libraries, row/column models, and standard layouts) in your own specific reports. When you define a Report Painter report you can use groups (sets). You can also enter characteristic values directly.
Advantages of Report Painter include:
Flexible and simple report definition
Report definition without using sets
Direct layout control: The rows and columns are displayed in the report definition as they appear in the final report output, making test runs unnecessary.
=============================================
Below mentioned is the process for creating reports using Report Painter as a tool.
Selecting and maintaining a library for your report: As the transfer structure to Report Painter you use a report table, which is defaulted by SAP and can not be maintained. This table contains characteristics, key figures and predefined columns. In a library, you collect the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns from the report table, which you need for your Report Painter reports.
When you define a Report Painter report, you assign it to a library. Reports assigned to one library can only use the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for that library.
When you create or maintain a library, the Position field determines the sequence in which the characteristics, key figures or (predefined) key figures appear in the Report Painter selection lists when you define a report. This allows you to position the objects that you use regularly in your reports at the beginning of the selection lists. If you do not make an entry in the Position field, you will not be able to use this object in Report Painter reports.
You can use either the standard SAP libraries for your reports or define your own.
(ii) Selecting or maintaining a standard layout for your report: Standard layouts determine report layout features and the format of your report data.If the SAP standard layouts do not meet your reporting requirements, you can create a new standard layout or change an existing one.
(iii) Defining row and column models: A model is a one-dimensional, predefined reporting structure that you can insert in either the rows or columns of your report.If you often use the same or similar row or column definitions in your reports, it is recommended that you create row or column models.
You must define the row and/or column models that you want to include in your report definition before you define the report.
You can also use the standard column models supplied by SAP.
(iv) Defining the report: Defining a Report Painter report involves the following steps.
(a) Define the report columns: You define the report columns using the characteristics, key figures, and predefined columns selected for the library that the report uses. Alternatively, you can use a column model for column definition. Column models are predefined column structures which you insert into your entire column definition, instead of defining each individual column.
(b) Define the report rows: You define the report rows using the characteristics selected for the library selected for the report.
Alternatively, you can use a row model for your row definition. Row models serve the same purpose as column models, but are used to define a report row.
Edit and format the report rows and columns in line with your requirements. (For example, you can hide rows or columns, define the column width or define colors for your report rows).
(iii)Define general data selection criteria for the selection of your report data: Selection criteria are the characteristics used to select data for the entire report. You cannot enter characteristics as data selection criteria if they are already being used in the report rows or columns.
(iv) Assigning the report to a report group: Once you have defined a report, you must assign it to a report group. A report group can contain one or more reports from the same library. However, reports that share the same data will select data more quickly and improve processing time.
Hopw this helps you. Please let me know if you need anything more and assign points.

Delete dot (...) in report painter

Hi,

Creating variables in Report Painter

Hi ...
I would like to know ... how do I create variable ? I know it is via T CODE GS11, but when run tht, in the next screen it pops up for variable ? What variable do I need to enter ? is this predelivered Eg : CE-PK, or can we create one ? Please advise
Also, I would like to I have a requirement for a report whereby the format is like this .....
SALES CURR MONTH (06/2006) LAST YEAR
- Sales IT
- Sales 1
- Sales 2
COGS
- cogs 1
- cogs 2
- cogs 3
COS
- cos 1
- cos 2
- cos 3
GROSS PROFIT
Whereby, SALES = sales it + sales 1 + sales 2, COGS = cogs 1+cogs 2 + cogs 3, COS = cos 1+ cos 2+ cos 3. also GROSS PROFIT = SALES + COGS + COS
The abpve report is inclusive of Cost Centre and Profit Centre, how acn I utilize the libraray in Report Pianter to create such report, is this possible in Report Painter whereby including Cost center and Profit Centre in one single report
Pls assist me
Nathan

When you create your variable first enter the variable name. Second enter the reporting "table" to use. Third enter the "field'. Press enter. Next enter a default value for your field. Save you variable. It is now ready to use in your report painter.
Using the PCA reporting tables gives you the profit center but not the cost center. You can only use one reporting table per report. you will need a cctr report for that.
First create your own libray from GLPCT. Next create your report using your new library. The report painter can do the calculations that you have shown.
You create a formula in the row or column to calculate your sub totals.
pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

Decimal places in report painter

Hi experts. I have a financial report written in report painter. I want to show two decimal places on a single row. The rest of the report is in whole dollars, but this one row is a percentage, so I want to show decimal places. I know that you can format an entire column, but I can't figure out how to format a single row. Can anyone help?
Thanks
Janet

YES U CAN
SAME AS ABOVE PROCEDURE
BUT SELECT ROW INSTEAD OF COLUMN

In report painter GRR3 1VK Actual Value picked up from previous year

Dear Experts,
In report painter GRR3 > 1VK
1. Column of Actual Quantity to take in Basic Key Figure from Statistical Quantity
2. The value is 4 (Actual) and Version is 0
I found that the Actual value appeared are actually taken from the previous fiscal year. I have checked the line items and their document posting date it shown as last fiscal year.
In this case, where should I amend to have the report pick up only actual value of this fiscal year? or Is there any value to maintain for GRR3 to pickup the current fiscal year actual posting?
Thank you very much and Best Regards,
Anne

hi..
Goto GRR3 > click on Lib 1VK it will show you all the report in 1VK library > select your report & double click on it
It will display the report format. Then go to Edit at the top. you will find General data selection.click on it you will find available characteristics. Then goto GRR2 for making any change/selection for Fiscal year char
If your report is a standard one you can not change. then copy the report from GRR1 and make the changes.
You can also see the char in GR23 by selecting 1VK lib.
