Row Heading - Report Painter

Hi
I m going for a more complex selection criteria. So, I need to give Row Headings in the reports for various sections ie each row will require several rows to be defined (e.g. one row for revenues, with a specific set and selections, and a second row with costs using a different set and selections)
Could you let me know how this can be done?
I looked at the formating there I can see Column Heading but NOT Row Heading.
Any ideas are appreicated!
Thanks a lot for your time
Sridevi

Thanks for your reply.
What I need is exactly I need to give different ROW headings in one particular report. I m not to able find out a way to define those row headings which are mentioned in bold hereunder.
Appreciate if any one can tell a way out.
Thanks
Sridevi
Example Layout is as below:
                    Statement of Net Profit
DESCRIPTION                         Period 1      Period 2
1) SALES REVENUE
Rent                                            xxxx           xxxx
Salaries                                       xxxx           xxxx
Stationery                                    xxxx           xxxx
Sub-Total                                     xxxx           xxxx
2) SELLING & DISTRIBUTION EXPENSES
Travelling Expenses                      xxxx           xxxx
Selling Expenses                         xxxx           xxxx

Dynamic Rows in Report Painter

Hello everyone,
I'm new to report painter and m using the SAP Library help material to understand report painter. I've one query though i.e
Is it possible to create a report hrough report painter with dynamic rows ? if yes then pls let me know how.
Regards
Anik

Thank you.
See I have the below Rows
Total Revenue
Cost2
Cost3
Direct Cost
Gross = Total revenue - Direct Cost
Gross % = (Gross/Total revenue ) * 100
I have Columns as with basic Key figures and Formulas
Year(basic key Figure)
Year+1(basic key Figure)
Total = Year + (Year+1)
Its giving me correct values in case of Basic Key figures and not in the formula case.
It giving error when there is formula both in Row and Column.
In the above case last row and last colum. Only Column formula is getting implemented.
Here for example I have mentioned 4 rows and 4 columns.. But I have 15 Rows and 30 columns .. out of which 15 rows and columns have formulas...
% Rows are problem.. which gives me errors... I tried using Special cells, but I am not 100% sure how to use them.
I would be very thankful if you can help me out.. Please

Calling Report Parameter in Row Formula - Report Painter

hello
i have a unique situation in which 11 months out of the year i need to call a certain "cell" and then in December I need to call another "cell"
i figured if that is possible I would be able to do this one of two ways:
IF "Eval Period" <> 12 THEN "Y021" ELSE "Y023" - this would result in a single line solution
IF "Eval Period" <> 12 THEN "Y021" ELSE 0
IF "Eval Period" = 12 THEN "Y023" ELSE 0
the later formula would be split into two lines.
i am a big excel and VBA user (where this would be possible with some trick coding), but i am slowly learning the art of report painter. Is this possible. I know you can define a row or column with a variable, but can you call it out in a formula?
thanks

Hi Adam01,
I am not sure if I have understood your problem, but I am going to comment one thing in case it is helful for you.
If you press F1 in the u201CFormulaLineu201D when you are editing the formula, you can read:
Formula syntax in the Report Writer
A formula consists of operands, operators, numbers, and parentheses.
The following operands are possible:
Row numbers (for example, Y001 for row 001)
Column numbers (for example, X001 for column 001)
Cells (for example, Z001 for a specific total in a report)
Value variables (for example, '1PERIK' for the value variable 1PERIK)
You can enter numbers directly, with or without a decimal point (for example, 100 or 2.5).
Example (percentage difference):
( X001 - X002 ) * 100 / X001
In addition to basic arithmetic operations + - * / the following operators are supported:
Operator Example
ABS   Absolute value ABS(-10) = 10
DIV   Quotient-whole no. div. 10 DIV 3 = 3
MOD   Remainder-whole no. div. 10 MOD 3 = 1
SQRT Square root SQRT(9) = 3
INT   Truncation to integer INT(3.9) = 3
TRUNC Truncation to integer TRUNC(3.9) = 3
ROUND Rounding ROUND(3.5) = 4
EXP   Exponential function EXP(1) = 2.71828
LOG   Logarithm LOG(10) = 2.3025
SIN, COS, TAN Trigonomic functions (length of a curve)
Example (difference of absolute values):
ABS(X001) - ABS(X002)
Logical Expressions:
IF c1 THEN f1 ELSE f2
where c1 is a comparison condition, f1 and f2 are formulas.
In comparison conditions, the following operators are allowed:
< less than
<= less than or equal to
> greater than
>= greater than or equal to
= equal to
Example (determine maximum value):
IF Y001 > Y002 THEN Y001 ELSE Y002
For instance you can write:
IF '8A-PER' < 12 THEN Y023 ELSE Y021
Best regards,
Paco

How to exclude a cell from a row in Report Painter

Hello,
In report painter, I am calculating a percentage of a row within a separate row. Is there a way to only calculate this percentage in certain cells within the row? The row defaults to calculate the entire population but it is only necessary for a few cells.
Thanks,
Megan

It is possible to reference SSRS elements directly using the ReportItems collection. If your total tablix cell is outside of yoour matrix groups, you can use this collection to accomplish what you want:
=ReportItems!Matrix1Total.Value + ReportItems!Matrix2Total.Value
where Matrix1Total and Matrix2Total is the name of the cell that contains your totals. Note that for this to work, the cell name must be unique. If the total cell is inside a group, it will be repeated once for each instance of the group and will not be
unique.
You may be able to do it using the Sum aggregate and specifying the dataset for the scope variable:
=Sum(Fields!fld1.Value, "DataSet1")+Sum(Fields!fld2.Value,
"DataSet1")+Sum(Fields!fld3.Value,
"DataSet1")+Sum(Fields!fld4.Value,
"DataSet1")+Sum(Fields!fld5.Value,
"DataSet1")+Sum(Fields!fld1.Value,
"DataSet2")+Sum(Fields!fld2.Value,
"DataSet2")+Sum(Fields!fld3.Value,
"DataSet2")+Sum(Fields!fld4.Value,
"DataSet2")+Sum(Fields!fld5.Value,
"DataSet2")
This will work as long as you are not filtering the dataset in your Matrix properties. If you are, those
filters will not apply to this expression and the numbers will not total correctly.

Report Painter GR214 generation error - Short dump 4.6C

While generating a report with more than twenty sections, the system short dumps with the error message GR214 pointing to "MESSAGE_TYPE_X"
"%_T01JR0 " or "########################################"
"INSERT_ROW_FORMULA_NEW"
Any leads to fix this?
The generation error happens only when I include a last line formula in the last section, Till then it is working fine.

Hi,
The error you are receiving could be caused by a large number of row blocks in your report definition, (you can check the report definition with report RGRRDC00). A report should not contain too many row and column blocks. It is not possible to give an upper bound for the number of row blocks (since the length of the coding depends on other parts of the report as well). However, even a complicated Report Writer or Report Painter report should not contain more than 50 row blocks, and reports with more than 100 row blocks should not be defined.
In this case the report(s) have to be redefined. Please also refer to the note 387916 for further information regarding this issue.
When there are more than 30 variables in a report, please have a look at the note 332091.
Please reduce the number of row blocks in the report by using the function 'Edit' -> 'Rows' -> 'Explode' in the Report Painter
definition. This function enables several rows to be created for one row block (in the Report Painter definition one row block is just one row). Report Painter (and Report Writer) are designed to display hierarchical reports where the rows in the few row blocks are built up using the 'Explode' function.

Report Painter in FI/CO

Hi All,
While creating a row in report painter,i have selected character and created a row gross sales.Now if i would like to assign a formula how do i do it.
Regards
Saras

I dont think thats possible. You have to create another row as formula. A formula row have to get a base line. And the baseline should be based on another Characteristic row. But you can choose to hide the Characteristics line if u dont want to show the details just the totals.
But there are other ways to do it like setting the charateristics setting to N- No explode to get a total, you dont have to create a row formula, you can also change the row format to reverse sign +/-

Report Painter - how to insert sub header rows with no values

In a report painter, I am designing a report with several rows with formulas. I need to insert a sub-header row in the middle of the rows. That will not have a value. It shall contain no value, but I am given only options of either insert a row of characteristics or a formula. I need neither of them. Can we have something excel like feature in report painter (4.6c) just to insert a sub header row? If so how do we get that.
e.g
ADMINISTRATIVE EXPENSES (how to insert this row?)
Account 1 - 10

Hi,
try to add a formular row containing a formular like = +x -x.
Maybe you can use "formatting / row" and use overscores / underscores to get a blank row (underscore one line, overscore the line thats following).
No other idea...
best regards, Christian

Report painter report with two header rows

Experts,
I have managed the variable values in report painter but in display output i am unable to recognize the
value displayed for march / April is actual or planned
Please find attached screen shot for the same...
Is there any way to have both the information on header row?
Thanks
Sagar C'kar

Hi Sagar...
Please change the short, medium and long text as you wish (please have all the description in the long text), by default system displays with the medium text, but no need to worry, when you keep the cursor on the head column of the text (where medium text is maintained), system displays with long text also. By this you can see the long text. This option we may use for adding additional text there, maintain some text at medium text and maintain additional text at long text option, so when you keep the cursor at head of the column with medium text, you see long text in addition.
If you want to have the long text instead of short or medium text make changes like this..
By this you make the text length at maximum i.e. 21 digits I suppose and then.....
By the above you select "long text" as default
Regards..
Jose

Report Painter insert blank line after report header

Hi Expert,
I have a problem to insert a blank line (a spacing) after the report header of my customized report painter.
For example, in standard cost center report, S_ALR_87013611, there is a small box listed information like cost center/group ... and reporting period.
Right after reporting period, the report header box ends, and there is a space line between it and the cost element data ...
For my customized report painter, I cannot make this space line.
I tried edit > row > insert blank line ... but not successful ... kindly advise.
Thanks and regards,
-CK

Hi
In KKO2 go to output tab, here under layout, tick header and then press pencil symbol and in the editor you write your header. I think this will give you desired result.

Changing header in report painter

Hi All,
I have a requirement to change the header(column). I am using the global variable &5PY(Period/Year) in the characterictics value. So it displays an output like 06.2008. But the client needs this to be displayed as June 2008.
Kindly help me out with this.
Regards,
Karthik

In report painter you can select variouselements based on which the data will be pulled. I haven't seen any report painter with two header lines and don't think report painter allows that. But for your requirement I believe you can select the periods in the header line itself.
