Restricting Null Values in the report

Hi All,
I have a aggregated feild displayed in the bottom of the report and sorted on the report on that field to show me top results.
When I try to run the report, Null values are coming first in the report (Displayed as NaN).
I want to restrict these null values from the report.
Please guide me on this.
Thanks in advance,
Imtiaz.

Okay. If you are using sum, you could use the following: <?sum(Petrofac-ECRevenue[.!=''])?>
ensure that the path to the element is correct. Are you using a syntax like <?sum(current-group()/Petrofac-ECRevenue)?>
Send me an email to [email protected] with your xml data and RTF if you can't make it work.

Suppressing NuLL values in Crystal Report

Hi....
I m facing a problem,i use asp.net and I have designed a Crystal Report.I had to place Text Objects in the the details section along with the corresponding Records from Database as per the Reports Design needed. Now i want that the NULL values in the report should be suppressed and should be disappeared along with the static Text Objects. Like as it happens in Grid view in ASP .net
Please Help me to solve this issue..
Thank you

I think i have been able to do it with little compliated suppress logic.
When i design the report this is how it looks in design mode:
Line1 Field1
Line2 Field2
Line3 Field3
and when Field 2 is null or contains a blank string the output should look like:
Line1 Field1
Line3 Field3
1. Initially just design the text fields and db fields without any suppress.
2. Check Suppress for Line 2 and use the formula: isnull({Table.Field2}) . Do nothing to Field2. This should suppress Line2 when Field2 is null, you can also add StrCmp({Table.Field2}, "") = 0 for checking blank strings.
3. Now copy Object Line3 and Field3 and place on top of Line2 and Field2 respectively so that their positions match. Let these newly copied objects be Line3_1 and Field3_1 respectively.
4. Line3_1 and Field3_1 should be suppressed if Field2 contains a non null value. So for both of them Click Suppress checkbox and add the following in the format formula editor not isnull({Table.Field2})
5. If Line3_1 and Field3_1 are visible = Field2 is null\empty -> Line3 and Field3 should be suppressed or the output would be like:
Line1 Field1
Line3 Field3
Line3 Field3
So to remove the duplicate:
For both of them Click Suppress checkbox and add the following in the format formula editor isnull({Table.Field2})
Hope this helps. I will see if I can attach a sample report based on xtreme here.

How to get rid of unassigned values in the report

hai to all,
here is the issue,
while running a report(sales per country), iam getting the data,after that when i drill down on sales document number iam getting some unassigned data, with Sales document number as #, and some value in the keyfigure.what is the reason behind this?
Here is another issue that i want to find all the sales documents which have the value # in the report?, is it possible? the same case with Customer country, on the same report.
pl anyone help me

venkat/shyam

Hi Shyam.
Regarding the first issue: Well, you've loaded some data records into your cube where the "Sales Doc Field" is empty. Did you load through PSA? The best way to scan your PSA (I believe) is to find the underlying table and have a look at it via SE16. In this way you don't have to scan through every data single package. This can be done via "display data flow" from your cube and switch on technical names. There you have it. (It's called /BIC/B00...etcetc you might have to add i few zeroes though when you enter it into SE16). Get request ID from "Infocube Managment". In SE16 seelction screen use F2 to set the "sales Doc No." field even to blank.
Second issue is a bit easier: in your query (or a working copy of your query) restrict on "Sales Doc No" or "Customer Coutry" to only include value "#". In the same way you can remove the unassigned values be excluding value "#".
Hope this works for you.

How do I pass a null value to the reportDocument?

I'm using CR 2008 and VS 2005.
I am using a stored procedure as the datasource for one of my report, which we run using the C# API. The stored procedure is expecting a NULL in certain cases and I find I cannot pass a NULL with my current code:
// Here I get the parameter
// If we are dealing with an empty string or a NULL value, let's give it
 // a value of a space so that Crystal's DLLs don't choke.
 if ((value.Length == 0) || (value == "NULL"))
 value = " ";
 arrParams.Add(value);
Object strParam = arrParams;
this.reportDocument1.SetParameterValue(num, strParam);
The stored procedure parameter type is INT so in the report it shows up as NUMBER.
How do I get a NULL value to the stored procedure?
Thanks.

See if this does the trick:
Dim crParameterDiscreteValue As New CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue()
crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = Nothing
C# would look something like;
CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue crParameterDiscreteValue;
crParameterDiscreteValue = new CrystalDecisions.Shared.ParameterDiscreteValue();
crParameterDiscreteValue.Value = null;

Need help Take out the null values from the ResultSet and Create a XML file

hi,
I wrote something which connects to Database and gets the ResultSet. From that ResultSet I am creating
a XML file. IN my program these are the main two classes Frame1 and ResultSetToXML. ResultSetToXML which
takes ResultSet & Boolean value in its constructor. I am passing the ResultSet and Boolean value
from Frame1 class. I am passing the boolean value to get the null values from the ResultSet and then add those
null values to XML File. When i run the program it works alright and adds the null and not null values to
the file. But when i pass the boolean value to take out the null values it would not take it out and adds
the null and not null values.
Please look at the code i am posing. I am showing step by step where its not adding the null values.
Any help is always appreciated.

Passing null values to the attributes of a CAF operation

Hi,
In CAF I am trying to fetch data through Web Service. For this I need to pass null value for the attributes of the operation.If I set the value to null it gives me missing parameter as the error.
Can anyone tell me how to pass null values to the attributes of a CAF operation?

Hi Xavier,
Declare the two variables of type if_wd_contex_node for e.g. lv_node and if_wd_context_element for e.g. lv_element. Now in the first one lets say lv_node get the refrence of dynamically created node like:
lv_node = wd_context->get_child_node('<node name>').
Then get the refrence of element like:
lv_element = lv_node->get_element( ). (You can also pass index as parameter check the method API)
then just set the value of attribute you want like:
lv_element->set_attribute( exporting name = '<attribute name>' value = '<your value>').

Date range to be displayed & Displaying multiple values on the report

Hi,
I have date range parameters, but I also need it to be displayed it on the report. Is there any way I can display it. E.G If a parameter is created one can drag and drop it on the report if it needs to be displayed on the report, I tried to do the same for the date range parameter but it does not work.
Also If a parameter is created by selecting the option 'Allow Multiple Values', and if you drag and drop it on the report only the first value is displayed and the rest does not show. Has anyone tried this before and been successful in displaying multiple values in the report.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
A multi-value parameter is actually treated as an array in Crystal Reports.
To display the values selected in the parameter, create a formula from the Field Explorer and type this code:
Join({?ParameterName},",");
Place this formula on the header or the footer sections of the report.
Regarding the date range issue, please follow Sastry's advice and it should work fine.
Make sure you're using the parameter in the Minimum and Maximum functions. For eg: If I was to create a date range parameter called OrderDate, my formula to show the start date would look like this:
Minimum({?OrderDate})

I agree with Shankycheil here, querying XPath will return XMLNode and thus can't be assigned to XMLNode.
But for debatching in Orchestration using Xpath is not a very good idea.
Because using XPATH loads the complete message in memory(XML Structure) and then performs processing.
This approach is always prone to throwing Out of Memory exception and low in performance also.
Therefore I would suggest you to perform debatching by calling XML Disassembler(XMLReceive) pipeline.
As pipeline works with Stream it will have better performance and you will also get complete control over the messages.
Refer the below samples for debatching using XML Receive pipeline within Orchestration.
Comparrison between XPATH and ReceivePipeline for Debatching:-
De-batching within an orchestration using XPath or calling a pipeline

How to put the null value at the last of a select list

Hello,
I have a select list with a null value, I want the null value to be the last value in the list. It always appears in the top of the list, Desc and Asc order is not working.
Thank you in advance!
Edited by: Najla on Apr 1, 2013 10:37 PM

Hi,
Edited by: Howard (... in Training) on Apr 2, 2013 1:xx PM
The statement - I don't think it is possible to arrange the order of the null option in a select list.- is close. You can't control the order of the Null value if you add the Null value through the GUI. However, it can be added and controlled as part of a SELECT ...
One way is to add NULL to the "SELECT". Here the Yes/No are hard-coded but they could have been selected from a table:
select d, r from
select 'YES' d, 'Y' r from dual
union all
select 'No' d, 'N' r from dual
union all
select Null d, '<Null>' r from dual
) order by 1 desc NULLS lastHoward

Reports in EPM version 16 to be refreshed twice to see the values in the Report

Dear All,
We are on BPC 10 and EPM version 16. When we try to refresh the Reports in EPM 16, the first time, it does not bring any values, but when we refresh the second time, we get the values in the Report. Has anyone faced the similar issue like this, please let me know how it can be solved? When i execute the same report in EPM 13, the report gets the values in the first refresh itself.
Thanks in advance,
Best Regards,

Hi Swapnil, Vadim,
Thanks for your help but as per the Note, I would like to check if this will help for my Report. As per the Note it says,
Resolution
A solution is to select the member Context(XXXX) in the 'EPM - Member selector' for the dimension initialized in page axis for the input schedule instead of referring to Sheet1 in the EPMOlapMember formula.
Another solution is to implement a macro via a button in the second sheet that contains the input schedule as follows:
Point 1: I have 6 sheets in this workbook, The Input Sheet which you see below is created by using a MACRO. Going to each sheet and changing the context would not help our users because they need to just refresh from the Input sheet.
Point 2: It says, to go to each sheet and create a MACRO which is also not feasible for our users. They require to have it in the Input sheet only.
Below Screen shot is from Input Sheet. PRC refers to the Profit Center in the below screen shot.
Below Screen shot is from Sheet 1
Please let me know if I am wrong as per the Note.
Thanks in advance,

Venkata
