Report Painter - Invisible Column

Hello All -
I am creating a report painter report using internal order table.
When I execute the report, I am seeing a column that I don't see when I am editing the configuration of the report.
I have looked to see if the column resides on a different Section, Horizontal Page, or is Hidden.
I don't see multiple Sections or Horizontal Pages and nothing seems hidden.
Am I missing something?
Thanks!

Hi,
Check if parameter 'Suppress zero columns' was selected in report layout.
Menu Formatting -> Report Layout.

Report Painter - Dynamic Columns

Dear Expert,
I'm preparing a report painter report with cost centers as columns.
Is there anyway I can use cost center group as variable and then the no. of columns and column texts are populated based on the no. of cost centers and cost center names exist in that cost center group?
Thanks in advance and regards,
Junior

Hi
To define anything as variable, you should have the details like - TABLE / STRUCTURE details.
But, for any groups ( Cost element group / Cost center group) - no table / structure available

Report Painter - adding columns with any texts.....

Hello !
Whether probably in Report Painter to create additional columns (adhered to columns of data) and to write there manually demanded texts for lines ?

Hello - I don't see Insert Diving Line after I click Insert Blank Line.
Where is that?
If I insert a blank line and then double click on the blank line to add a line like the following: "__________" for sub totals, etc, I can't. I can only add another characteristic or formula in the blank line.
Please help and thanks for your help!

Report painter - Choosing column heading text

Hi SDN
I'm having a specific problem with getting the right column heading text into my G/L report painter report created in FGI2/FGI5. In the report painter form I have created the three texts for my column (short, medium and long text). In order for the heading to be meaningful I need the report to show the medium or long text. This is also the case when I run the report as object type Object list. Here the medium text is displayed. However, when I run the report as a Classic drilldown report or a Graphical report output the short column heading text is shown.
Now, I know from running the standard report 0SAPBLNCE-01 in FGI0 that it is possible to have the long column header text shown in the report, so I'm not willing to give up. But can any of you guys help me on how to make the report show the correct text?

Hi Anna and thanks for your suggestion. I have tried changing the header text length in the form as you suggested, but it does not seem to affect the display in neither of the three output types of the report. I assume that there must be a way to control the text header length specifically for each of the three output types. But how....

Report Painter - New Columns Don't Show Up

Hello All,
We have a report painter report that was copied from an existing report in transaction CJE5 (for modifying the form) and then assigned in CJE1 (to a report). The copied report was functioning properly with an existing tcode assignment. Now, I am trying to add new columns to the same form and I was able to add and save everything to the form without errors. However, when I execute the report, these new columns don't appear on the report. Can anyone suggest why?
One thing I notice was that when I went to the "Report Parameters", the list of "Columns" does not include the columns that I added. I cannot figure out how to add them to the list so that they would start appearing on the report output.

Hello Suresh, Thanks for the suggestion, but report painter is a functional area and the ABAPer should not be required to insert a new column and make it appear on the report. Any more suggestions, please?

Report Painter - missing column in GRR1/GRR2 but appears when executed

Hi
I have a report with 10 columns in addition to the first column that contains the descriptions of the rows, i.e. Sales Revenue etc etc. The columns across are different projects. However, most strangely, the first of the projects does not appear when I am in GRR2 or GRR3 but when I execute the report, it is there!!! When I look at the Overview in GRR2 and GRR3, it is listed so am at a loss to explain where it has gone.
any suggestions?

Hello,
1) hide the first column
2) unhide the column
3) you´ll see the column which you were missing instead of the former first column
4) change the column or whatever you want to do
5) hide the column
6) unhide the column
Now the formular is as it was before. Still you can´t see the column but you know it´s there and you´ll see it in the report.
I searched a lot and didn´t found any other solution.

Thanks in advance
Arabinda

Hi Rajneesh,
Thanx for the quick reply. When I change the column width to 10 it comes in one page. But the requirement is to keep the column width to at least 12 or 14 and moreever the original report from where this report is copied having the same no of columns and the column width for original report is 14 and it comes in one page only.
Do I need to do something more to achieve this. My question is how the original reports data comes in one page where as the current report having issue with same number of columns.
Pls suggest.
Thanx,
Arabinda

Report painter-want to hide period columns dynamically if the period is not closed

Hi All,
I have made report with 12 columns like JAN, FEB till DEC in report painter (GRR1)
Requirement is that if say, currently only period no.4(APR) is closed and we are in period no.5( MAY) or system date is in MAY, then the report should not show the data for the current period no.5(MAY), eventhough data is there. Or else it should show data for JAN to APR (closed periods)
For this I defined 12 different period formula variables in GS11, based on system paramters like
S008 Year (from Local System Date)
S002 Month (from Local System Date)
S003 Day of Month (from Local System Date)
S012 Current Period in Current Year (per CO Fiscal Yea
But the issue is that eventhough the variable is defined as formula variables, still the default values are given by system and default value only getting passed to the report and thus data is displayed for the unclosed period.
But SAP help says that formula variables are without default values unlike the value type variable.
Any help in this will be highly appreciated.

I have cracked it and got the solution with redefining the formula variables.

How to use Value Variable in Report Painter Column defined as Formula

Hi Gurus,
In report painter, how can I add one field (exchange rate) in selection screen, so that user can provide the exchange rate to be used, then execute the report, the exchange rate will used to multiple local currency amount.
The reason for this is we want use provided exchange rate to convert the amount from once currency to the other currency.
Alternatively I am studying the functionality of "Value Variable" and found that I can perform the task from this. I have created the value variable but when I am using the variable in Report Painter columns as "&ZVALVAR", system is giving me error. I read the help and it states that use the variable with "&" and do it as it is mentioned.
Can anybody suggest what I need to do to make it workable.
Thanks

I did try using the presentation variable, but that does not work too. I am setting session variable in the dashboard prompt (select 'request variable'). When I use presentation variable, it hard codes the value of the variable name.
sql is
select date from work_order where facility = @{p_facility}
the physical log sql is
select date from work_order where facility = 'p_facility'

Report Painter - Display two characteristics on one line in lead column

I have a requirement to produce a Report Painter report to display values by Cost Centre and Cost Element.
The requesting user wants to see the Cost Centre AND Cost Element keys displayed on each row of the report, to allow for manipulation in Excel.
I have no problem grouping Cost Element within Cost Centre or vice-versa, but am not aware of any way of displaying both key values on each row in the lead column (or anywhere else).
Has anybody done this?

Hi Robin,
the request is not unusual. However, report painter does not allow for two key columns or a key column combining two characteristics. You might consider using SAP Query (with table COEP or COSS/COSP for aggregates) if you do not want to resort to developing the report in ABAP.

Nikolas
