Reporting dates problem

hello,please help me with this. i have 2 dates date1 and date2. i want to get the difference between these dates.
i created 2 formula variables off date char. and make it replacement path and give the char. name.ok.then i created a formula and i did this
date1 - date2
but i still get zero. what should i do? thanks.

Hi,
Since it's Char type InfoObject it's not possible to create a formula in the query. You need to find No. of Days in the data modeling only.
- Create a Key Figure InfoObject (INT Type),
- Add in the Infoprovider
- Do the transformation. Pass the two dates to the New InfoObject , Calc. Date2 - Date1 as Result
- Use the New Object in the query.
Regards

Report Data Problem

Hi All,
I have a query which is not dispalying the keyfigure data.
the data is displaying in MP.
What are the possible ways to check it and to get data in Report.
Please help ASAP.
Thanks

Hi
Assuming you are getting this issue now and earlier same query has worked for you.Two quick ways for investigation and for getting the results are
1--> Delete the cache of your query, and then try running the query again.
2--> If cubes used are BWA indexed, try running the query with and without BWA, see if you are getting same output.If outputs are different , reindex the cube, this should solve your issue.

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.

You may have logged in as a different user, such as Guest. Open the Users & Groups pane in System Preferences. Your name should be at the top of the user list, under Current User. See also this support article.
If files are missing from one folder
Change the Finder view mode; for example, from icon view to list view, or vice versa.
If files are present, but seem outdated
You may have started up from a different volume (disk.) Open the Startup Disk preference pane and check the selection.

Help needed with missing data problem in CRVS2010

We recently upgraded the reporting engine in our product to use Crystal Reports for Visual Studio 2010 (previously engine was CR9). Our quote report, which has numerous subreports and lots of conditional formatting, started losing data when a quote took more than a single page to be printed. We knew the SQL results included the data, but the report was not printing those lines at all or sometimes printing a partial line. In addition, the running total on the report would exclude the lines that were being missed on the next page. In one example submitted by a customer, 3 lines were skipped between pages.
I think I have identified two potential issues that document the possibility of data not being included in the report.
The first potential issue is an issue with the "suppress blank section" option being checked. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01483793, being released someday with service pack 2 for CRVS2010.
The second potential issue is using shared variables. This issue is supposedly fixed with ADAPT01484308, also targeted for SP2.
Our quote report does not explicitly use shared variables with any of the subreports, but it does have several subreports, each in its own section that has the "supress blank section" option checked. We have other reports that use this feature, as well, and they are not exhibiting the problem.
One different thing about the quote report is that it has a section with multiple suppression options selected. The section has a conditional suppression formula, which controls whether the section is included at all within the report. The section also has the suppress blank section option selected. There are multiple fields within the report that are each conditionally suppressed. In theory, the section's suppress formula could evaluate to true, yet all of the fields within the section are suppressed (due to null values), and then the "suppress blank section" option would kick in.
The missing data only seems to happen when the section is not being suppressed, and at least one of the fields is being included in the report. If I clear the "suppress blank section" check box, and change the section formula to also include the rules applied to the fields in the section, the missing data problem seems to be resolved.
Is this related to ADAPT01483793? Will it be fixed in service pack 2?
If more details are needed, I would be happy to provide a sample report with stored data.

Hi Don,
Have a look at the Record Selection formula in CR Designer ( stand alone ) and when exported to RPT format opening that report in the Designer also.
There's been a few issues with => logic in the record selection formula. It could be you are running into this problem. Look for NOT inserted into your selection formula.
Oh and SP2 is coming out shortly so it may resolve the issue. But if you want you could purchase a support, or if you have a support contract then create a case in SMP and get a rep to work with you to debug the issue.
If you have not try the Trial Version of CR 2011, put it on a VM-ware image or Test PC so you don't corrupt anything for production and have a look at and test it in that designer also. If you purchase a case and it is a bug then you'll get a credit back for the case.

Loading complex report data into a direct update DSO using APD

Dear All,
Recently, I had a requirement to download the report data into a direct update DSO using an APD. I was able to perform this easily when the report was simple i.e it has few rows and columns. But I faced problems If the report is a complex one. Summing up, I would like to know how to handle the scenarios in each of the following cases:
1.   How should I decide the key fields and data fields of the direct update DSO ? Is it that the elements in ROWS will go to the
      key fields of DSO and the remaining to the data fields? Correct me.
2.   What if the report contains the Restricted KFs and Calculated KFs? Do I have to create separate infoobjects in the BI
      system and then include these in the DSO data fields to accommodate the extracted data ?
3.   How do I handle the Free Characteristics and Filters ?
4. Moreover, I observed that if the report contains selection screen variables, then I need to create variants in the report and
     use that variant in the APD. So, if I have 10 sets of users executing the same report with different selection conditions, then
     shall I need to create 10 different variants and pass those into 10 different APDs, all created for the same report ?
I would appreciate if someone can answer my questions clearly.
Regards,
D. Srinivas Rao

Hi ,
PFB the answers.
1. How should I decide the key fields and data fields of the direct update DSO ? Is it that the elements in ROWS will go to the
key fields of DSO and the remaining to the data fields? Correct me.
--- Yes , you can use the elements in the ROWS in the Key fields, but in case you get two records with same value in the ROWS element the data load will fail. So you basically need to have one value that would be different for each record.
2. What if the report contains the Restricted KFs and Calculated KFs? Do I have to create separate infoobjects in the BI
system and then include these in the DSO data fields to accommodate the extracted data ?
Yes you would need to create new Infoobjects for the CKF's and RKF's in the Report and include them in your DSO.
3. How do I handle the Free Characteristics and Filters ?
The default filters work in the same way as when you yourself execute the reoprt. But you cannot use the Free characterisitics in the APD. only the ROWS and cloumns element which are in default layout can be used.
4. Moreover, I observed that if the report contains selection screen variables, then I need to create variants in the report and
use that variant in the APD. So, if I have 10 sets of users executing the same report with different selection conditions, then
shall I need to create 10 different variants and pass those into 10 different APDs, all created for the same report ?
--- Yes you would need to create 10 different APD's. Its very simple to create, you can copy an APD. but it would be for sure a maintance issue. you would have to maintain 10 APD's.
Please revert in case of any further queries.

PowerPivot report data refresh error Data source as SharePoint list Data Feed

Hi All,
I am facing a problem on auto refresh, the report data source is SharePoint list Data Feed, I saved it my PC desktop when I set up auto fresh it fails then I moved the SharePoint list data feed "atomsvc" file to A SharePoint Data feed library then connected
to report started a manual refresh it was success, after next schedules it failed.
Error massage:
Errors in the high-level relational engine. The following exception occurred while the managed IDbConnection interface was being used:
The network path was not found. ;The network path was not found. The network path was not found. .
A connection could not be made to the data source with the DataSourceID of '82f49f39-45aa-4d61-a15c-90ebbc5656d',
Name of 'DataFeed testingreport'. An error occurred while processing the 'Testing Report' table. The operation has been cancelled.
Thank you very much !
erkindunya

If you are using Claims Auth then this is a known limitation. Auto refresh only works under Classic Auth.
I trust that answers your question...
Thanks

Dear Apple Support,
Good day to you.
This is to report the problem i encountered when i updated my Ipad mini to the new IOS 8.1..
After the update my Ipad restart and after that it appears a picture that need to connect to itunes and need to restore. So i connect it to itunes and wait to restore my ipad mini because it is not opening.
After restoring it my ipad is now opening and it is like new that i need to set up again.
I set up again until i reach the apple id and password.
I put my below apple ID and password to unlock my ipad but it didn't work. The message i receive is "the apple ID cannot be used to unlock this Ipad.
What will I do? Please help.

Subject: Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini
Dear Leslie J.,
Your Apple ID was used to sign in to iCloud and iMessage on an iPad mini named “Leslie Joye's iPad”.
If you have not recently set up an iPad with your Apple ID, then you should change your Apple ID password. Learn more.
Apple Support
<Email Edited By Host>

1. It is never a good idea to include personal info like your email address or Apple ID in a post on an open forum.
2. The email you received DOES NOT say your Apple ID cannot be used to unlock this iPad. The email informs you that your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad. Fortunately the iPad is yours. The message confirms that. If your Apple ID was used to unlock an iPad that was not yours your would then know to change your password. Since the iPad is yours you do not need to change your password.
Is your iPad working?

HT5429 How long after you report a problem does it take for the fix to be picked up in maps?

How long after you report a problem does it take for the fix to be picked up in maps? The street I live on is misspelled. It's shown as one word, but it should be two words. Maps cannot find the address when it is spelled correctly, so I have it purposely misspelled it as one word in my contacts, which helps for the most part, however it still tries to place my home on an entirely different street all together. Fortunately this new random street is at least close to where I live. When I used to spell my street correctly with two words, maps would try to send me to the next town over. So it kind of works, as long as I misspell my street, and ignore the fact that it is showing where I live to be a couple of streets down from where I actually live. I live in Connecticut - not in the most populated of areas, but not in the middle of nowhere either. Amazingly enough Google Maps will correctly find my address whether it's spelled with one words or two words. Google Maps also shows my apartment complex, which Apple Maps does not. I really wish Apple would just do a quick pass of the area to fix these issues. I’ve reported the problem several times, months ago. How long will it take for there to be a fix? I keep trying to use the Apple ecosystem, but Google is clearly the better solution for me.

Apple does not do the GIS data for maps. That comes from 3rd party vendors like Tom Tom. I have read it takes some time to update map data. The only thing you can do is report it.
Not to belittle your complaint, but on my end it is Apple that is clearly better. When looking at my house in Google, the satellite photo is more than 4 years old, and the Apple one is much newer. I can tell because of the condition of my home and the neighbor's. They had an above ground pool which was removed 4 years ago and it shows on the Google Map. I had remodeling and roof work done to my home that started 3 years ago and Apple's satellite view showed this work done, which took over a year to complete. I live in the middle of a block in a rural town. Both Apple and Google split the block into 100 parts and put my home close to the beginning of the block instead of where it actually sits. I've reported it to both Google and Apple and no one has changed. Just one of those things. But, keep your chin up, it will get corrected eventually.

Sub Report Performance problem

Our current software configuration is Microsoft SQL Server 2008 R2 (10.0.2531.0) where our data is housed. Our User Interface is Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 (Visual Basic) and Microsoft .NET 3.5 SP1 platform. We use Crystal Reports 2008 (12.0.0.683) to do our reporting.
We upgraded from Crystal Reports XI and our reports are taking a long time to render?... Is there any evidence of other companies experiencing this trouble? Are there any degraded performance issues when moving from XI to 2008?
In some cases we utilizing a small simple sub report.
Any help appreciated. Thanks.

Hi Billy,
Subreports in detail sections are never a good idea. Example, you have 100 records returned int he main report and if that field is your subreport link it causes the subreport to run 100 times. Your database is being queried 101 times.
Also, the default time out for database is typically 1 minute, could be you need to verify your report and database so CR can "clean up" any wrong pointers.
It's always better to do the data collection server side if and when possible, after all that's what they do best.
Not much detail to go on so I can't say if it's a report design problem other than the above or not. It could be also that .NET takes time to load all of the CR assemblies so depending on how you have your app configured depends on the delay. If you load a dummy report when your starts up to pre-load CR runtime then subsequent reports will be much faster.
Also check off all of the Verify Database options, you may be telling CR to verify each time which on big databases can cause a delay also.
Thank you
Don

'Report a Problem' is not working at all on my iMac. What do I do?

I'm running Mac OS X Version 10.5.8, 3.06GHz Intel Core 2 Duo, etc...
I have not been able to use the Problem Report interface for over a month.
No matter what software the problem is with, no matter how strong my internet connection is, I get a dialog saying "Submission failed: Your report could not be submitted. Please try again later." For example, here's a screencap from 1 minute ago, after Spotify crashed.
The same thing happens with Apple software as well as third-party. I have no idea what to do.
Any help will be much appreciated.

That's good to know, but keep in mind that your original posting complained solely about "Report a problem not working." That was the issue in the title and text of your original post. Several people responded with regards to that concern that you raised, and indicated that not being able to report back to Apple was not a serious concern, we don't think Apple is using that data much and may have turned off some of the reporting paths back to the company anyway. As Pondini said, if you are really concerned about some other problem, describe it so people here might address it. You mention "Hard drive problem, data corruption, mystery Mac virus ..." but provide no details except that the report back to Apple failed, about something. A report back to Apple failing to go through is not evidence of any of those things you mentioned, it's actually seen pretty often.

BI Publisher report bursting problem

I am not able to make my report burst to separate files for ftp delivery. I am running BI Publisher version 10.1.3.4.1 (stand-alone). My data query looks like this:
select a.agency_id, b.borr_name
from agency_tbl a, borr_tbl b
where a.rpt_date >= 20100101 and a.rpt_date <= 20100110
and a.borr_id = b.borr_id
and a.agency_id in (80013,80019)
order by a.agency_id, b.borr_name
My bursting/delivery query looks like this:
select agency_id "KEY",
'mytemplate' as TEMPLATE,
'RTF' TEMPLATE_FORMAT,
'en-US' LOCALE,
'PDF' OUTPUT_FORMAT,
'FTP' DEL_CHANNEL,
'myserver' PARAMETER1,
'myid' PARAMETER2,
'mypwd' PARAMETER3,
'/home1/web-docs-443/files/pdffiles' PARAMETER4,
convert(varchar,agency_id) || '.pdf' PARAMETER5
from agency_tbl
where agency_id in (80013,80019)
and rpt_date >= 20100101 and rpt_date <= 20100110
(I have to put "KEY" in quotes because my database is sybase, and KEY is a reserved word.)
I have verified that both queries return data (6 records each, no null agency_id keys).
The goal is to create a file for each agency that lists their associated borrowers.
I can view the report without problems. But when I schedule the report and enable bursting, I get the "Job was failed" email notification, and the report history shows this:

Delivery Node /ROWSET/ROW/agency_id
Any help will be greatly appreciated. This has me stumped . . . I am out of ideas.

What caused our bursting problem:
We had to put the word "KEY" in quotes (in our bursting query), because KEY is a reserved word in sybase. But putting it in quotes caused a problem - the results of the bursting query did not contain a "KEY" tag.
. . . And the solution:
We added the connection property "GET_COLUMN_LABEL_FOR_NAME=true" to our sybase datasource definition. Many thanks to Tim Dexter, and to Paul from the sybase forums (http://newsgroupstats.info/article/forums.sybase.com/sybase.public.jconnect/2308/Column-aliases-not-working.html) c. 2007.
And thanks again to Jorge for the helpful suggestion.
