  • 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/Writer always creates a prerformance issue.i never preffred them since i have a option with Zreport
    now you can do only one thing put more checks on selection-screen for filtering the data.i think thats the only way.

    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.

  • % Symbol in report painter formula

    Hi guys,
    I need to add % symbol in the report painter report in GRR2, i.e: (20/80*100)%
    How do i do it in it?

    Hi,
    You cannot... Put it in the column's title, so the people would know that it's about percentage.

  • 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 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.

  • Report Painter- Formula cells "total" different fron the rest of the column

    Hi,
    I made a report with one of the column C3 define like a formula MAX between the two columns before C1 & C2.
    For the items of the column, it's OK, SAP takes the MAX between C1 and C2.
    I define then a line "TOTAL" on several exercice, the pb is that this column TOTAL take the MAX between the C1 and C2 Total instead of add all the items of the column C3 ??
    How can I proceed, to make the addition of items of a column obtained by formula MAX ??

  • COPA Report Painter

    Hi,
    I consider possibility of using conditional expression 'IF' in COPA report painter in formulas. Is it possible ? I am asking because syntax from common report painter is not correct in COPA it means e.g.:
    IF Y001 <> 0 THAN Y001 ELSE Y002.
    It would be beneficial for me.
    regards,
    Rafal S.

    Hi again,
    Thanks for reply, but are you sure that the syntax is correct for COPA report painter formulas ? I have tried to apply it and after the check system gives me "incorrect syntax" message.

  • Report painter- problem in creating formula variable- ps

    Hi Experts,
      i have copied report  6P3 - 6PP1-001 Act/Com/Total/Plan    from library in report painter.
    our requirement is we want two user fields from cj20n  in this report. they are prps-usr04
    and prps-usr05.
    i have added these in header as  special text variable as they were ALREADY available at header under
    MASTER DATA FOR PROJECTS / WBS ELEMENT IN REPORT-WRITER. 
    now my requirement is to add new columns. for that i required these two fields in formula.
    but as they are not present in formula component  i am not able to get it.
    what should i do to enter these fields in component list in formula?
    PLEASE GUIDE ME?
    AMOL

    ActRunningBal is a running total calculated in crystal or database field? If it is a database field then you can try this
    if {command.CR-Amount} &lt;&gt;0 then
    {command.CR-Amount}
    else
    previuous()+previous({command.Dr-Amount})
    If it is a running total you cannot apply previous function on it.

    Can I create a formula to take this value from the table PROJ? If I need to create a characteristic for choose this field, as I can create?

  • Calling Report Parameter in Row Formula - Report Painter

    hello
    i have a unique situation in which 11 months out of the year i need to call a certain "cell" and then in December I need to call another "cell"
    i figured if that is possible I would be able to do this one of two ways:
    IF "Eval Period" <> 12 THEN "Y021" ELSE "Y023" - this would result in a single line solution
    IF "Eval Period" <> 12 THEN "Y021" ELSE 0
    IF "Eval Period" = 12 THEN "Y023" ELSE 0
    the later formula would be split into two lines.
    i am a big excel and VBA user (where this would be possible with some trick coding), but i am slowly learning the art of report painter. Is this possible. I know you can define a row or column with a variable, but can you call it out in a formula?
    thanks

    Hi Adam01,
    I am not sure if I have understood your problem, but I am going to comment one thing in case it is helful for you.
    If you press F1 in the u201CFormulaLineu201D when you are editing the formula, you can read:
    Formula syntax in the Report Writer
    A formula consists of operands, operators, numbers, and parentheses.
    The following operands are possible:
    Row numbers (for example, Y001 for row 001)
    Column numbers (for example, X001 for column 001)
    Cells (for example, Z001 for a specific total in a report)
    Value variables (for example, '1PERIK' for the value variable 1PERIK)
    You can enter numbers directly, with or without a decimal point (for example, 100 or 2.5).
    Example (percentage difference):
    ( X001 - X002 ) * 100 / X001
    In addition to basic arithmetic operations + - * / the following operators are supported:
    Operator Example
    ABS   Absolute value ABS(-10) = 10
    DIV   Quotient-whole no. div. 10 DIV 3 = 3
    MOD   Remainder-whole no. div. 10 MOD 3 = 1
    SQRT  Square root SQRT(9) = 3
    INT   Truncation to integer INT(3.9) = 3
    TRUNC Truncation to integer TRUNC(3.9) = 3
    ROUND Rounding ROUND(3.5) = 4
    EXP   Exponential function EXP(1) = 2.71828
    LOG   Logarithm LOG(10) = 2.3025
    SIN, COS, TAN  Trigonomic functions (length of a curve)
    Example (difference of absolute values):
    ABS(X001) - ABS(X002)
    Logical Expressions:
    IF c1 THEN f1 ELSE f2
    where c1 is a comparison condition, f1 and f2 are formulas.
    In comparison conditions, the following operators are allowed:
    < less than
    <= less than or equal to
    > greater than
    >= greater than or equal to
    = equal to
    Example (determine maximum value):
    IF Y001 > Y002 THEN Y001 ELSE Y002
    For instance you can write:
      IF '8A-PER' < 12 THEN Y023 ELSE Y021

  • Formula line in Report painter

    Hello,
    Can I use 'IF' phrase in Formula column in Report painter ?  If so what's the right Syntax .
    Thank you,
    Ran.

    Hi Ran,
    Glad to hear from you too!
    Did you put '.' in the formula at the end of the message? You shouldn't in this kind of statement, so the expression should be:
    IF X005 > 0 THEN X004 + X003 + X005 ELSE X004 + X003
    Regards,
    Eli
    P.S. I tried it, just in case, and it works.
