Row and Column Template ?

Trying to create this thing but no matter what I do I keep getting this ridiculous error:
Cannot create a linked row and column template based on
the selected rows. The grid needs to have at least one data row that is
not part of a row and column template.
What does this mean?

You can get your requirement done using the Row and Column Template
You can not save a row and column template with all rows in a report. You have to exclude at least one data row, otherwise you
will get the error that you mentioned.
If you want to save all the rows as a template and re-use it in other report, you can insert a data row at the end of all rows and hide that.
Now you can select the complete row set as a template by excluding the extra data row that you will insert & hide.
If you want to link the template in other reports with same row set you must be very careful with the formatting as you need to apply
inherit formatting before saving the template. I suggest to spend some time with the FR online documentation.

  • Row and Column Template in Hyperion Reporting

    Hi
    Whenver I am trying to save a column of a report as a template , it is giving an error :
    "The selected columns contain one or more of the items below that cannot be included in templates:
    Invalid Input "
    I am not sure what does this mean. Though I have already deselected the "Link to Source Object". Can anyone suggest ?

    it may also worth cross checking below form doc:
    a.If your row and column template contains formulas with external references (for
    example, to cells outside of the selected row and column template), you are prompted
    to modify those formulas before saving the row or column template.
    Note: You can save a row and column template that contains cell formulas, as these can
    be discarded. For more information, see step 9.c on page 115.
    b. If a secondary database connection was specified within the row and column template,
    a dialog box displays prompting you to continue saving the template. If you save the
    template, the secondary database connection you specified in the row and column
    template is discarded. The primary database connection is then used for the row and
    column template.
    c. If unsupported properties are found, an Information dialog box presents a list of
    properties to discard before saving the template. For example, if the row and column
    template contains a cell formula, you can choose to save the template without the
    formula or not save the template.

  • Conditional Formating of rows and columns in template(cross tab)

    Hi,
    I am developing a cross tab report in which I have row header as the year like 2008,2007,2006....column header as months jan,feb,mar...and the data area contains the respective data...I need to format the background color of the rows and columns which are below the date of the report(report is ran for a particular month like mar-08)..I was able to format the background color of all the rows that fall below(ex:08) the year of the report(using <?if@row:row_name<'$first'?> <xsl::attribute name="background-color" xdofo:ctx="incontext">#C0D27F</xsl::attribute><?end if?>)..
    and I need to format the 3(till march) columns in the yr 2008

  • 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,

  • Display of  Row and Column Headers in NW2004s Bex Analyzer

    Hi all,
    when I open a query with the NW2004s Bex Analyzer (Excel)Frontend <b>Row and Column Headers are not visible</b>. I need to go to <b>"Tools-Options" and check the box  for "Row and Column Headers" which seems to be unchecked by default</b>.
    Is there <b>a possibility to make the Row and Column Headers visible by default when I open a query</b> so that I don't have to use Tools-Options every time.
    Thanks
    Alex

    This is fixed with SP8. The default template doesn't have this specified in SP7. It's a very easy fix. Just specify that the column headers are specified by default. Then save this new workbook as the global workbook template such that all queries use this new template. You can customize this standard template however you like!

  • Dynamic Table - Add rows and columns in same table

    Hi there,
    I wonder if someone could help please? I'm trying to create and table where a user can add both rows and columns (preferably with separate buttons) but am having trouble trying to figure out how to do this. Is it possible? If so how? I'm not familar with script but have found examples of seprate tables where you can add a row and then another table where you can add columns and essentailly want to merge the two but cannot make it work.
    Any help much appreciated!
    Thanks,
    Ken

    It is great example....you can learn the concepts there and apply....however you may have to think twice before you implement column adding dynamically....because the technique here is make copy of what we already have and reproduce it as a new item and this technique works great for rows as they all have every thing in common. But when it comes to columns it may have unique visible identity as column head and displaying repeatedly the same column head may not look good. Of-Course you can do few extra lines of code and change the column appearance based on users input each time. Situations where users need to add additional column is very unlikely (sure your requirement might be an exception).
    Key in allowing adding/removing instances is managing design mode settings under Object>>Binding>>....and select the checkbox "Repeat <subform/row/...> for Each Data Item" and then set Min, Max and Initial count values.
    Also you need to club your effots by using simple scipt with button clicks....
    for the example refered in URL you posted following is what I did to make the first table allow Adding/Removing Rows....
    1. Opened the form in LC designer.
    2. Add two buttons AddRow & RemoveRow right next to RemoveColumn
    3. For AddRow I used following JS code....
          Table1._Row1.addInstance(1);//that means any time this button is clicked a new instance of Row1 is added use _Row2 or Row3 based on your needs
          var fVersion = new Number(xfa.host.version); // this will be a floating point number like "7.05"
          if (fVersion < 8.0) // do this for Acrobat versions earlier than 8.0
           // make sure that the new instance is properly rendered
           xfa.layout.relayout();
    4.  For RemoveRow I used following JS code....
         Table1._Row1.removeInstance(1);//Syntax is...<objectReference>.removeInstance(<index of the repeating object that needs to be removed>); //in this case since we used 1 alwasys second object from top gets deleted.
          var fVersion = new Number(xfa.host.version); // this will be a floating point number like "7.05"
          if (fVersion < 8.0) // do this for Acrobat versions earlier than 8.0
           // make sure that the new instance is properly rendered
           xfa.layout.relayout();
    5. Now time to update settings at Object>>Binding tab and set "Repeat......" and also set Min, Max and Initial count as explained above.
         Those settings needs to be updated for Row1 (or your choice of row) of the table
    6. Set the Height to Expand of the Subform, where the table is housed....  this is done under Layout pallet
    7. Save the PDF as dynamic template and verify the results...
    If you still run into issues I can send you copy that works on my machine, but you need send me an email at n_varma(AT)lycos.com
    Good luck,

  • How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

    Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files.  To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
    Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
    Then copy
    Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
    Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
    It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank

  • How do I delete multiple rows and columns in an image?

    I am looking into how digital SLRs extract video data from a CMOS sensor. To give an example, the GH1 from Panasonic can record video at 1920 x 1080 from a 12 MPixel sensor that, say, is 4000 horizontal x 3000 vertical. How they do that seems to be not in the public domain, but there have been a few guesses (see http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=206797 and http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=38713).
    One approach would be to simply read every second row of sensor pixels (1500 rows read from the original 3000) and once you have those in memory, delete every second column (2000 columns left). You would end up with a 2000 x 1500 image which could then be resampled to 1920 x 1080.
    I'd like to simulate what the camera appears to be doing, by generating a 4000 x 3000 test image and then asking Photoshop CS4 to delete the appropriate rows and columns. It may not necessarily be every second row; the Canon 5DMk11 appears to read every third row, so I may need to delete two out of every three rows.
    Can Photoshop do that sort of thing? If so, how?

    Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I did take a detailed look at your images, but they weren't 100% convincing because it wasn't clear just what was happening. And Adobe's explanation, after reading it again, explains nothing at all to someone who doesn't know how Nearest Neighbor works.
    But you are correct -- Nearest Neighbor does effectively delete pixels. I proved it with the attached 6 x 6 image of coloured pixels (the tiny midget image right after this full stop -- you'll have to go to maximum zoom in PS to see it).
    These are the steps to delete every second row and then every second column.
    1. Select Image > Image Size.
    2. Set Pixel Dimensions > Height to half the original (in this case set to 3 pixels).
    3. Set Resample Image to Nearest Neighbor.
    4. Click OK and the image shoould now consist of three vertical white strips and three vertical Green-Red-Blue stripes.
    5. Repeat steps 1-4, but this time set Pixel Dimensions > Width to half the original (in this case set to 3 pixels). The image should now consist of three horizontal stripes Green-Red-Blue.
    Just to make sure the method worked for every third pixel, I repeated the above steps but with 2 pixels instead of 3 and obtained the correct White-Green, White-Green pattern.
    I resampled the Height and Width separately for the test so that I could see what was happening. In a real example, the height and width can be changed at the same time in the one step, achieving the same results as above.
    Finally, how to explain how Nearest Neighbor works in the simple cases described above?
    Division by 2
    In the case of an exact division by two (pixels numbered from top leftmost pixel), only the even numbered rows and columns remain. To put it a different way, every odd numbered row and column are deleted.
    Division by 3
    Only rows and columns 2, 5, 8, 11... remain.
    Division by N
    Only rows and columns 2, 2+N, 2+2N, 2+3N... remain.
    To put it simply, a resample using Nearest Neighbor (using an exact integer multiple) keeps every Nth row and column, starting from number two. The rest are deleted.

  • Lock rows and columns header in a table view report. It is possible?

    hi,
    I have a Dashboard that displays a report in "Table View" with many rows and columns.
    Is it possible to set a lock on the rows and columns like Excel?
    This would have blocked such headers that contain attributes and measures and to browse the report (eg with a scroll bar) had always viewed the headers.
    Can you help me?
    Thanks

  • Is it possible to switch the rows and columns?

    Is it possible to switch the rows and columns of a table? The reason I ask is that it would be easier for me to input the data with the number at the top of a column and the fields going down. But it would be easier to read the data with the number on the left and the fields going to the right. Is it possible to switch a table in this way?

    It sounds to me as though you wish to transpose a table so that the original is changed from rows to columns and from columns to rows, as in the following:
    Table 1
        A   B   C
    ========
    1   o   p   q
    2   r   s   t
    3   u   v   w
    Table 2
        A   B   C
    ========
    1   o   r   u
    2   p   s   v
    3   q   t   w
    You are right - it would be nice to have a menu item to magically transpose a selected block of cells. But there isn't one. So...
    One way to solve this is to use the index() and transpose() functions to accomplish row and column cell transposition. If you are going to use a 1:1 cell correspondence and change the header columns and rows also, you can use this:
       =INDEX(TRANSPOSE(Table # :: <range>),ROW(),COLUMN())
    where Table # and <range> is substituted as in the following fashion:
       =INDEX(TRANSPOSE(Table 1 :: $A$1:$C$3),ROW(),COLUMN())
    Create a second table. Copy the modified formula above with the appropriate substitutions, select the range you wish to have your transposition inserted into (must match the transposed cell dimensions of the original range), paste the forumula and voila! the cells will be transposed.
    Cautions:
    o The target table must match the swapped cell length and width dimension. For example, if the original data range is 6 columns wide by 4 rows deep, then the corresponding table or range to hold the transposition must be 4 columns wide by 6 rows deep.
    o If your transposed data block is to be offset from the origin of the new table, then you will need to include a subtractive offset into your cell formula, since in the transpose() function the data in the master data range is referenced from its position with the master range, not its cell position in the table. Such an offset is necessary because this example formula uses the target row and column numbers to arrive at indexed positions.
    For example, if the new data range is to be offset one column to the right and one row below from the target table's origin then you must subtract (-1) from the cell and from the column references in the formula:
      Example:
      =INDEX(TRANSPOSE(Table 3 :: $B$2:$D$4),ROW()-1,COLUMN()-1)
    If someone has a better solution I'd be glad to hear of it.
