Report with multiple query

Hi,
I want to construct a report that consists of results from a number of different queries, I was just wondering how would acheive that if APEX only allows me to return one query?
Thanks
Candy

"which tool does allow you to create one report out of multiple indipendant queries?"
I don't know which tools allow me to do that, I was hoping there's something like that.
The report I want to show is something like this, I have a table with a list of customers, each customer has a number of work request(an other table), where some of my team collegaues would spend X amount of time on the work request.
the report should show something like this for the current week or month:
company A Michael 5 hrs
Pete 4 hrs 1 week ago 2 week ago
total: 9 hrs 7 hrs 17 hrs
I hope you can see what i am trying to show in my report, basically, it should show for each customer the name of the worker and the hrs he spent, and then the total, that i suppose i can do it with one query:
select sum(wrs.time), con.first_name, c.full_name
from customers c,
work_request wr,
work_request_state wrs,
contacts con
where wrs.request_id = wr.id
and wr.customer_id = 27
and c.cust_id = 27
and wrs.time!=0
and wrs.changed_date > trunc(next_day(sysdate -7, 'SUN'))
and wrs.changed_by = con.cont_id
and con.cust_id = 0
group by con.first_name, c.full_name
order by c.full_name;
but i also want to find out one/two week ago, how many hours were spent, and that's when i need to do a separate query with different where clause.
If you don't undersatnd my report, I can email the report template to you, so you can see it better in a table.
Perhaps I just over looked the whole problem...

  • Single report with multiple queries OR multiple reports with single query

    Hello Experts,
    I have a confusion regarding Live Office connection for many days. I asked many people but did not get a concrete answer. I am re-posting this question here and expecting an answer this time.
    The product versions that I am using are as follows:
    FrontEnd:
      BOE XI 3.1 SP4 FP 4.1
      Xcelsius Enterprise 2008 SP4
    Backend:
      SAP BW 7.0 EHP1
    I have created a dashboard which is getting data from a webi report using LO connections.
    The webi report has five report parts which are populated by five different queries.
    Now my question is, when the five LO connections are refreshed, is the webi report refreshed five times or just once?
    If the report is refreshed five times, then I guess it is better to have five different webi reports containing single report part, because in that way we can prevent same query being executed multiple times.
    SO what is the best practice- to have a single report having multiple queries - OR - to create multiple webi reports with single query?
    Thanks and Regards,
    PASG

    HI
    I think Best Practice is Multiple reports with single query
    Any way If LO connections refresh 5 time the query will refresh 5 timesRegards

  • Bursting a report with multiple queries

    Hi,
    I need to set-up bursting in BIP for a report with multiple queries. The output format is pdf and delivery is through e-mail. Since the queries need to be linked, I'm trying to do this using data template. I've set-up split and burst based on a field (store_id) from the first query which is used as a bind variable in the subsequent queries. So I'd ideally want the report to be split based on store_id. The report works fine if I use a parameter for store_id and view the output by store_id. When I try to schedule the report for bursting, it generates and e-mails the reports but only the last report appears to have correct data output while the others have only the output from the first query (and all other queries appear to return nothing in the report).
    Any suggestions on what could be the issue here? Thanks!

    Hello user6428199,
    When you use ":Q1_STORE_ID" in your queries, BI Publisher looks for a report parameter named Q1_STORE_ID. Change all your report queries to get data for all the store_id's available. As you are bursting the report using the store_id as the bursting key, BI Publisher will split the report based on the stored_id and delivers content based on it. No matter how many queries you may have, BI Publisher will loop through all the store_id's available and all the queries will return data for that particular id in a report.
    Thanks,
    Machaan

  • Report with Multiple queries too slow in BI Publisher 11g

    Hi, I have a report in 11g where i need to create multiple queries to show them in report. I tried to combine everything in one query, but i found that the query is too huge and hard to understand and maintain. I created 3 data sets and linked them together. In SQL dev, the main query is returning about 315 records and first detail query returns less than 100 records and second detail query is returning one record which is BLOB. Each query returns data within a couple of seconds from SQL Developer. The entire report from BI Publisher should be just 21 page PDF output. Did anyone face performance issues while running reports with multiple queries in 11g? I ran reports that have single query which returned 10K pages PDF and never had an issue while everthing is in one query. This is the first time Iam attempting to create multiple queries. Can someone help me understand what i might be doing wrong or missing here. Thank you.

    Isn't there a way for you to do this via a Package/Procedure versus having multiple queries?
    Per the BI Publisher guide,
    Following are recommended guidelines for building data models:
    Reduce the number of data sets or queries in your data model as much as possible. In general, the fewer data sets and queries you have, the faster your data model will run. While multiquery data models are often easier to understand, single-query data models tend to execute more quickly. It is important to understand that in parent-child queries, for every parent, the child query is executed.
    You should only use multiquery data models in the following scenarios:
    To perform functions that the query type, such as a SQL query, does not support directly.
    To support complex views (for example, distributed queries or GROUP BY queries).
    To simulate a view when you do not have or want to use a view.
    Thanks,

  • Report with multiple Detail Area

    Hi All,
    Please see the Report pointed to the link below:
    [Report with multiple Detail Area|http://us.share.geocities.com/felix5ac/fairway.jpg]
    Some Explanations:
    ========================
    (1) The line with "ABCDEFGH..." is variable data coming from the database in the Detail Area
    (2) The lines with "WBLNX'" "123, 123.12", 
                             "WBLNX'"
       are variable data associated with the same Heading: "ABCDEFGH..."
    (2b) There can be multiple lines of data in the detail area (i.e. 1 or more "ABCDEFGH..." and the associated WBLNX and numbers...)
    (3) Item Code Descriptions ==> is a Header Info
    (4) ARL ... and FPHI... ==> are variable data and lines in these area can be 1 line; it can be 4 lines; it can be 10 lines...
    (5) Lines FROM "Artwork Procedures..." to the the end of the page are static.
    QUESTION:
    ===================
    How do I best design these Report with the multiple detail areas? Again, please see link of the Report above...
    Thanks and Best regards,
    Felix

    Hi Felix
    You can place the less detailed fields in the regular sections of the report and wherever you require multiple lines you can use the subreports.
    Hope this helps.
    Regards

  • Report with multiple dimensions in Row and Column with EvEXP

    Hi
    We are currently running BPC 7.0 SP3 and try to create the report(or schedule) with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column.
    e.g.
    row dimension : Outer row is Entity, Inner row is Account
    column dimension : Outer column is Time, Inner row is Category
    We created the report with  2 x 2 dimensions like above e.g. with EvEXP and EvNXP, NOT EvDRE
    based on default dynamic template:Template13.xlt(Nested Row, 2 x 1 dimensions defined by EvEXP and EvNXP formula).
    However, when expanding the dimension with double click these dimensions or change CV of the report with  2 x 2 dimensions defined by EvEXP and EvNXP formula,
    error occurs on EvEXP and EvNXP formula and can't retrieve the result correctly.
    [Question]
    Can't we create the report with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column using EvEXP and EvNXP function ?
    We understand that we can make the report with more 2 x 2 dimensions in the row and column if using EvDRE.
    Thank You in advance
    Kenya

    Thank you for your advice.
    I understand that we should use EvDRE when creating the report with multiple dimension in the row/column because EvEXP have some erros, poor performance, etc.
    Then, we have two questions.
    1)
    >plus they had some errors in the designs.
    what kind of errors they have as an example?
    2)
    >If you must build the EVEXP and EVNXP, I would suggest building the template from scratch
    We built the simple template with just 2 x 2 dimension from scratch.
    But this report doesn't work well when double-click the dimension or changing CV...
    Would you please check the following template?
    <https://sapmats-de.sap-ag.de/download/download.cgi?id=RCZE1ME4YSORY3DCDO4NNMANZLBL1L5ZBUOB2F71YVNVS8XDJW>
    It would be greatly appreciated if you could give me your advice for the template.
    Thank you again
    And my best regards,

  • Report with multiple tabs

    Hi,
    I have a report with multiple tabs in selection screen. Say material number is mandatory in the first tab. But we don't need material number in the second tab. But if I want to go to the 2nd tab, i get the error message 'Please enter the material number'. Can this be avoided?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi Paromita,
    If I understand your problem correctly then, here is the summary of your problem -
    a) There are multiple tabs on selection screen. Out of which the first tab has a mandatory field i.e., Material Number. And then there are other tabs.
    b) So, unless and until you provide the value in first tab for the material number(which is a mandatory field), you cannot navigate to the second tab or any other tab for that matter.
    So, ideally the second and rest of other tabs are mutually dependent on the first tab's information as it has a mandatory field. Unless and until you make the first tab inactive it will not let you enter data in the second tab and so on.
    So, to ideally enable input in second tab, make the first tab inactive. Try this and let me know if it works.
    BR,

  • Crystal Reports with BEx Query using Custom Exit Variable

    Hi,
    We have BW BEx Query using Customer User Exit variable to derive  the Fiscal Week for Last Year (called it VAR2) based on another user input variable Current Fiscal Week (called it VAR1).
    VAR2 is derived from VAR1 in CMOD via some codings and thus it DOES NOT have the "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx. VAR1 is user input variable, so it has "Variable is Ready for Input" flag ticked in the BEx.
    When we create a Crystal Reports with the BEx Query using variable VAR2, and when we run it we got an error message saying "Failed to execute query; '[]<java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: No Selection State Support!ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK>'. Redesign your query or contact the data source maintainer to solve the problem".  (note: ZP_MI_LYPUBWEEK is VAR2 in this case).
    Could anyone please assist? Surely, CR supports BEx customer user exit variables like the above, right?. I also refer to the forum below as it seems to have a similar issue (except mine with an error message), but it does not provide a solution in it.

    Hi Vibhav,
    We have the SAP Crystal Reports for Enterprise XI4.0 Version 14.0.0. Not sure if SP0 or other SP, got to check with Basis Team later.
    We tried that "mandatory" option and did not work either.
    Anyway, SAP has now come back again saying it is something they will fix it in next release/version. We got a phone call from them and a reply below to our OSS.

    I have raised this issue on the Idea#s Place as an enhancement request
    on the below link:

    This ER contains the information of including the customer exit

  • Publication for Deski report with multiple data providers

    Hi,
    Has anyone been able to get a publication working that uses a Deski report with multiple data providers as the source? I'm trying to get a publication working that uses dynamic recipients and personalization. When I try to schedule the publication, I get the error "Object not found". 
    Thanks,
    Debbie

    Debbie,
    That's standard.
    It's useful for emulating outer joins in reports.
    Say you've got a sales report where you want to display all 12 months of the year in a crosstab whatever month you run in.
    We're only in May at the moment though. With one data provider (SALES), you'll get a crosstab with just up to May for your months.
    If you create a separate data provider called MONTHS to return the months in the current year, you will then have a merged dimension of YearMonth in both.
    In your crosstab if you just use YearMonth you'll get just the five months. If you qualify it with its data provider name (in our case MONTHS), you'll see the full twelve months shown.
    I hope that clears it up for your.
    Regards,
    Mark

  • BI+ Reporting With Multiple Data Sources

    Hi -
    We've been using BI+ Reports with multiple data sources on separate grids. We are wondering if there is a better way to ensure the user has their point of view bar in sync between the the data sources. In our case, both Data Sources are separate HFM applications with all the dimensions identical except the account which is defined on the report. We are not using Metadata Management.
    I'm aware of the "Merge Equivalent Prompts" in the Preferences > Financial Reporting window, but this does not always ensure the users have the same point of view.
    What practice are other companies using to make sure the user runs the reports accurately with both point of view bars pulling the same entity/year/period.
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for your answer, however my question - I know it looks quite messy - is not directly related to data templates, my problem is that at the moment I am using a stored procedure following - almost exactly - what another procedure does in oracle EBS to call a BI publisher report.
    1. This procedure populates some temporary table with the xml data where the concurrent request picks it up and uses it to populate the BI publisher template.
    2. However I can't go and specify the XML location in my data template as this is not an option for us (i.e. reading the xml from the temporary table), so I am looking for another way to populate the BI publisher template (Note: I can't as well include the SQL queries in my Data template).
    Thanks ;)

    I have a requirement where I need to create a date comparison report (Current Month vs. Prior Month vs Prior Month Year Ago vs YTD vs Prior YTD vs Rolling 3 months, etc) with multiple Measures (Quote count, Quote offered count, New Business count, etc). I am to generate this report in this fashion:
    Quotes Current Month vs PM vs YoY Prior
    Month Current Month Prior Year Current
    YTD vs PM Prior
    YTD Rolling 3 Months vs PM Prior Rolling 3 Months
    Issued 120 120 123 1400 1020 1700 1580
    Unique Risks
    Offered 556 449 571 5881 6220 6101 5892
    Unique Risk Close Ratio
    Offered Close Ratio 21.6% 26.7% 21.5% 23.8% 16.4% 27.9% 26.8%
    Bitmap
    Avg Issued Premium 240 238 222 2801 2630 3104 2892
    Avg Offered Premium
    New Business
    Count
    Avg Full Term Premium
    I understand that time series is an option, and have created the time series (which show up as measures).
    My problem is:
    when creating the report (even as a pivot table) , OBIEE is not allowing me to drag the measure to rows, nor is it allowing me to drag the time series to columns. Also, I need to do conditional formating on some of the columns showing an up arrow for increased vs. prior month and down arrow for decreased vs. prior month.
    Does anyone have a solution for this issue? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated...
    Please advise and thanks!!!

    Jason,
        You've been very helpful, but I guess I'm just not explaining myself that well. The Credit Memo's throw things off because they do not contain a "Paid Date" value. That field in the record is blank. Since it is blank the report query ignores them. Therefore when the report query returns all records that have a "Paid date" range of "x to y" they are never returned. This is a problem whenever a credit memo exists for an invoice because the "invoice total" never changes. So when a customer pays on their account for a particular invoice, they only pay what is due which is the "invoice total" minus any "credit" from the "Credit Memo". So when my A/R person receives payment they are showing the invoice paid in full because MAS automatically includes all invoices and credit memo's. My report does not because there is no data in the "Paid Date" field of the record for Credit Memos.
    I've been doing alot research in trying to resolve this "exception" to my report. I think I may be on to something, but my knowledge of arrays is extremely limited. My resolution involves populating an array with the "invoice numbers" that are returned from the initial query from the supplied date range. Then using the "invoice numbers" from the array have it then populate my details section of the report with all of "invoice records" both the actual invoice record and any "credit memo" records. I can then group the records returned  based upon the "invoice number". then within that grouping I can performing my calculations to show whether or not the invoice has been paid in full. What do you think?  I've been able to populate an array with the invoice numbers based upon my date search range, but I have yet to figure out how to take that information and perform another lookup to pull in the rest of the data I need. Do you have any ideas?
    Thanks.  Bill

  • Report with multiple calculations

    I am learning reports and need some inputs on how can I handle the following report
    1. One of my summary area in the report should show 5 amounts as a table view and the sixth column should be sum of the first 4 columns (I am getting those 5 values with a query)
    2. In the second row with an external condition is false I need to put zeros under each column ad an the sixth also it is zero
    3. But if the condition is true, I need to calculate a new amount (multiply by %) and show that amount under each column and again add the new amounts in the sixth column
    I am not sure whether I need to use forumla or place holders, please help me.
    Thanks

    Hi Hamid,
    Thank you for your reply.
    It is a complex report and my Requirements are as follows.
    1. It is a statement/invoice report (I already completed this part), but at the end of the report we need to show the aging summary.
    In the aging summary we need to show the amounts, interested and the totals based on the due dates.
    2. One customer can have multiple types of accounts (for example cable, water, internet, electricity etc.),
    we need to create a report to show the invoice/statement for each month for the selected customers and that report should include all the account type of that particular customer.
    I am completed this report part.
    3. At the end of the report I need to create aging summary for each customer. Main purpose of this aging is it should show 5 buckets (columns).
    Each bucket is sum of amount of invoice balance due for all account types grouped by due date
    buckets are:
    CURRENT ONE_MONTH_DUE TWO_MONTHS THREE_MONTH MORE_THAN_THREE TOTAL
    Suppose user has 4 account types (cable, water, phone, inter net) and there is no due on cable and water that sum should come under CURRENT column
    if phone and internet three months due that sum should come under
    THREE MONTHS DUE and other buckets should show zeros. TOTAL should show the sum of each rows.
    4. based on the account type if that account has interest enabled and the due date is more than one month we need to calculate interest for each bucket and show that amount in the second row under each bucket.
    So that report should look like:
    BUCKET: CURRENT ONE_MONTH_DUE TWO_MONTHS THREE_MONTH MORE_THAN_THREE TOTAL
    220.00 0 0 340 560.00
    INTEREST: 0 0 0 34 34.00
    TOTAL: 220 374 594
    Please help me how to solve this problem.
    Thanks.

  • Creating report with multiple queries in clear quest

    Hi,
    I am new to reports and currently working with creating reports that connect to clear quest(CQ).
    I have successfully created several reports, that connect to the CQ, but they all have data from only one query.
    Now I am trying to create a slightly complex report where I need to fetch data from multiple queries. All these queries use 2 parameter to filter their data. I have dynamic cascading parameters to get them. When just connecting they all work ok. I used the link tab to link them to two fields of one query, to make sure that they all filter to fields from same query.
    The problem is when I drop the fields from the various queries on the form, the data is fetched multiple times.
    I also played with links to make them outer links but in that case I get error and unable to run the report completely.
    Any ideas on how to work with multiple queries and provide same parameters to all of the queries?
    Thanks in advance.

    - How do I make sure that the relationship is not one to many?
    You don't. That's the nature of the data. For example a single person can order multiple items. A simple one to many relationship.
    - In the link tab, I can only point to queries, is there a way I can point the fields to report params?
    You should be seeing tables... I think you're having a tough time with the basic terminology.
    - How does these Enforce Joins (4 options) work.
    There is rarely if ever any reason to switch from the default "not enforced". Leave it alone. The only one you'll touch 90% of the time is the Join Type.
    PAP,
    Based on the questions you're asking, it sounds like you are missing some major database fundamentals. My suggestion would be to step away from CR for the time being and read a little bit about relational databases (what makes them relational) and database normalization. This will also give you an idea about the various join types and when to use one over the other.
    You can know every feature and function in CR, but until you have at least a basic knowledge of how data relates, you'll never pull in the data you need.

  • 5 reports with one query ....?

    Hi Guys,
    We  are on BI 7 and ECc 6...In one of our MM Report requirements we have one report with 5 work books ...i.e,
    The report is a set of 5 reports with the same selection criteria with different Key figures.
    All these reports can be separate work sheets in a workbook or displayed in multiple table items in a Web report
    So , I have made one Query with all the Key Figures...and saved it...Now my question is Do I need to create 5 queries for this / 1 query is ok ?I didnt understand how to finish this...We have all the fields that we need for 5 reports in this query...
    Can  any one advice on this
    regards

    Hi,
    U can also create structures of 1query and save, then similarly create 4 remainign strucutres,,so totally u hv 5structures for 1query, (Instead of maintaining a workbuk)
    u can compare the data thru excel.
