Running Total String Concatenation
Hello,
For our Project we need to do String Concatenation, if data has to display only in Footer Running Total String Concatenation works great. If I have to display in Reports Header or Group Header Running Total String Concatenation. I can work around by having Sub Report to get the data, but I have to Text Rotation to display data in 270 degree. Since Sub report is an object, I canu2019t do that.
If any one has any better idea let me know.
Thanks in advance
Yes,Thanks a lot My Quesition has been answered. I can rotate the data in Subreports.

Patch 111685 breaks string concatenation!!!
Patch 111685 for WS6U2 fixes a lot of problems but introduces a massive memory leak in operator+= for std::string. Sun has already acknowledged that it's a serious bug (bug id 4520126) although they are taking forever to fix it:

execution completed, exit code is 0The original message here was posted almost a month ago. The response by ForteSupport clearly confirms the existence of the problem, and I have written my own tests. Since the time when this problem was acknowledged, Sun has released patches for Forte C++ 6U2, in the same patch line (111685-03 updates 111685-02. 02 introduces the leak) but that patch does not address the problem.
Memory leaks of any type are not acceptable, but this is a nightmare memory leak: it is in library code and it is triggered by a what is a very common operation (string concatenation) in any sort of web or network services product. These are exactly the type of products that cannot tolerate memory leaks, because they have long uptimes.
This memory leak was introduced in a patch that fixed, among other things, the fact that exceptions were not being caught so that any program that threw an exception aborted. While I find it difficult to understand how problems like these could pass any sort of regression testing, this is not a perfect world, and things do go wrong. But what I find absolutely incomprehensible is that it could take a month to release a fix for this. What is the delay? -
Graphing a RUNNING TOTAL on a line graph
So I'm having a lot of trouble putting my data on a chart. I have it all laid out here: files.me.com/redsteven1/glwk4v.numbers.zip
Whenever I try to graph it though I run into a whole host of problems. Namely, that I can't get the values to plot on the chart at all.
Not sure what the problem is... I select A2:G103... and I see the different series (for each Activity) show up in the legend, but nothing is plotted on the chart.
I know that much of the table is blank... that's because I'll be adding to it every day.
Ideally, the X-axis should be time/date.... May, June, July, and August can be the major tick marks. And the Y-axis would be number of hours spent on each activity.
To further complicate things, the chart should really be a running total of time spent on each activity... so if I spend an hour on Activity 1 each day for 3 days... then on the third day I should have a plot of 3 hours... not 1.
I know I didn't work things super well here... hopefully you can figure out what I mean by looking at the linked file : \
Thanks in advance.I guess that line graph isn't the best one, I would use the Scatter one.
You can't chart your datas as they are at this time.
Every datas are date_time or duration values which can't be charted as is.
Here, I converted the dates from column A into strings
Then I added 6 columns in which I converted the durations into decimal hours.
The original columns are hidden.
The formula used to convert is a simple one.
In H2, I inserted :
=STRIPDURATION(B)*24
Fill to the right
Fill Down
to fill the other cells.

Running total of another running total ( or some other solution )
I posted in my previous thread that I would like to be able to do rounding at the subtotal level and then have a total of these subtotals. Here is the original thread:
totals in a cross tab report
So I was told that with the cross-tab report I can either do rounding at the details level or at the final total level. However, I need to be able to do the following:
Suppose I receive payments from different states. In my report I would like to be able to display:
- a total of all payments for one given state, rounded to whole dollars - this one is easy because I just create a running total for the payments and then at the end I round it to whole dollars
- a total of all payments and all states as one number. However, the problem I can't figure out here is that this grand total needs to be calculated as the SUM of the totals for each state where the total for each state is rounded to a whole dollar before being added to the grand total. So the rounding should not be done on the final grand total but rather:
1. calculate the total of payments for one state and round it to a whole dollar - let's call it StateTotal ( rounded)
2. calculate the SUM of all StateTotal values. So it needs to be a SUM of the already rounded state totals.
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
thankshello all,
if you want to use a manual running total then that is okay. you don't actually put the manual running total in the cross-tab expert though as you will get a print time error.
you use the "Display String" formula dialogue on an existing cross-tab summary to do the manual running total in.
have a look at the attached sample...there are 2 manual running totals in there...one that goes horizontally (across the columns) and one that goes vertically (down the rows).
there is also a Xtab Info column that is there just to show you how the manual running total counter variables are incremented through the cross-tab. in crystal reports 2008 there are a lot of new cross-tab functions that are different from this but that is a completely different topic.
i hope this helps,

removed after desc in the last line so now this query will run and throw an error.Clearly your error is because the string concatenation you are doing with sys_connect_by_path is exceeding the 4000 bytes permitted by SQL.
In that case you need to concatenate your data into a CLOB datatype, for which you'll need a CLOB aggregation function...

Report layout and running totals
Hello everyone!
I need to pick some brains. I need some help. I came across with a report where I have to add running totals for each state for years 2012, 2013, 2014 and to next column I have to calculate change in percentage annually. Basically, below the summary table sums the totals for the same years.
Here how it look on excel
I am trying to do the same thing on Crystal reports. Here how it looks:
On the Crystal Reports I have to put that summary table for each state. on the beginning or on the end of the each state.
Any help or suggestion is greatly appreciated.hi Korhan,
you can do this by Inserting a Cross-tab on the Report Footer. have a look at the attachment...extract the contents and change the .txt extension to .rpt.
right click on the cross-tab and choose Cross-tab Expert. note that there are two Sums on the same field.
exit the cross-tab expert and right click on one of the summaries under YTY change and choose Format Field. under the Common tab look at the formula in the Display String dialogue. this is the formula that does all of the work. it uses the 2nd Sum value in the cross-tab expert and uses the Grid value functions that are available for the cross-tab. you can also go to the online help for crystal reports to learn more about these grid value functions.
you can go back to the cross-tab exerpt then the Customize Style tab to see all of the various formatting options that were used on the cross-tab.
cheers,

Running Totals, is there a method for this
Hello, I am racking my brain out trying to figure out how to do a running total based on each succeding input by the user. It goes like this, if a person has more then x, then it does an if else statement based on the value inputted, else something else. The problem that Im having is trying to figure out how to keep the total in and add it to each successive input, and allowing the whole thing to be ended with a while ! =1.
Any suggestions would be so greatly appreciated.
Best Regards,
MTI Given below the solution for whatever understand from the question given below.
For example if you run
C:>java Tot 121 150 you will get the following output.
Total No of Inputs : 2
The Input value1=121
The Input value2=150
Total = 271
public class Tot{
public static void main(String args[]){
System.out.println("Total No of Inputs : "+args.length);
int total = 0;
for(int pos=0;pos<args.length;pos++){
System.out.println("The Input value"+(pos+1)+"="+args[pos]);
total = total + Integer.parseInt(args[pos]);
System.out.println("Total = "+total);

Keeping a Running Total for Formula fields
Post Author: khanh
CA Forum: Formula
I've been messing around for the past couple of days trying to figure out what the best approach for my problem. So here is what I'm trying to accomplish. I have multiple rows which contains sums for different columns and one of the columns contains the maximum of the sums.
For example:
ROW 1 SUM (A) SUM(B) SUM(C) MAX(sum(a), sum(b), sum(c))<----
Formula Variable 1
ROW 2 SUM (A) SUM(B) SUM(C) MAX(sum(a), sum(b), sum(c))<----
Formula Variable 2
ROW Total SUM (1A2A) SUM(1B2B) SUM(1C+2C) Result of Row 1 + Result of Row 2
What I did was create a formula variable that evaluates the maximum of those rows and have a summary row, that keeps a running total. I'm not sure how to store the result of that formula variable in the running total since the formula variable isn't an option to select. Does anyone have a suggestions if this is a good approach or if there's another way to approach it?For each value you enter into scores.text, end it with a
+"\n"
as in...
scores.text = String(1100) + "\n";
scores.text += String(2200) + "\n";
scores.text += String(1500) + "\n"; -
Use running total to get cumulative value
Just want to clarify, can it be get the cumulative value of string instead of numeric figure by using running total function?
for example:
Date Action
01/Jun Created
02/Jun Deleted
03/Jun Created
11/Jul Deleted
12/Jul Created
13/Jul Deleted
Can it be counted as a number of action & cumulate for each month?
ideal result is:
June
Created:2 Deleted :1
July
Created:3 Deleted :3
Thank for share...This can be done using Running Totals. I'm assuming you are grouping your results by month.
1. Create a running total for the "Created" action called RunningTotalCreated:
Field to summarize: {Table.Action}
Evaluate: Use formula:
{Sheet1_.Action} = "Created"
Reset: on change of group "Month".
2. Create a running total for the "Deleted" action called RunningTotalDeleted:
Field to summarize: {Table.Action}
Evaluate: Use formula:
{Sheet1_.Action} = "Deleted"
Reset: on change of group "Month".
3. Create a formula called result with the following code, and drag it into your month group footer.
"Created: "+totext({#RunningTotalCreated},0)+" Deleted: "+totext({#RunningTotalDeleted},0)
Cheers,

DeEscalation formula on a running total
I have a running total that is grouped by year. I need to test for each year and divide the total by a factor. I then need to string each year together. (each year gets a unique divisional factor). heres is what I have so far
whilereadingrecords;
if{TPHASE.DF_DATE}="2007" then
{#ActiveProjDet}/1.035
else false
this is comming up with errors
any thoughts for direction?By looking at the formula that you have, it seems to me you'll be using the Running Total field in another formula at the Detail level of the report. You may have issues referencing a Running Total in the first Detail section of the group, if the Running total has not been processed...
First off, even if you change the runtime to WhilePrintingRecords, you may have a conflict or incorrect results. This is because by specifying this formula be processed in the 2nd pass at the same time that the Running Total has to be processed will not work.
It may sound like I'm coming from left field - so let me land.... My suggestion would be to create a manual running total - which gives you all the flexibility to do what you want with the fields in any section of the report...
I just scoured the web for manual running total examples and though I didn't find the exactly what I wanted (a good example from BusinessObjects itself), take a look at the following link. If you want to, you can search the BusinessObjects knowledgebase for
+manual running totals+
.. Once you master this technique, you'll overcome the limitation the regular (wizard) running total field.

A better example of a Manual Running Total

Running total as header formula
I am looking for a simpler, more general, or just plain better way to calculate a running total of a column of numbers, such that the running total cell is the sum of a number in the same row & a different column plus the cell just above it in the same column.
IOW, if the numbers column is H & the running total column is J, I could use =H5 + J4 in cell J5. In J6, I could use =H6 + J5, & so on. I can extend the formula downward without any problems, but I must make an exception for the first row of data: for instance, if row 2 is the first to have a number to include in the running total, then in J2 I must use =H2, since J1 is a header column.
This means I can't use a simple formula in a header column for the running total. (I want to do this because I will be adding rows as the table is used, & I want all the formulas to automatically be added to each new row.)
After trying a lot of functions, I finally came up with this one for the header formula:
=H + INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW()-1,COLUMN(),4))
It works, but I suspect there is an easier, more elegant, or more general formula that (for instance) won't break if I rearrange the columns in the spreadsheet.
Any comments would be appreciated.Yvan,
Thank you for your comments, & for the formulas. I was hoping there was a simpler way to do this than with INDIRECT & ADDRESS, but apparently not.
In this particular spreadsheet, I do not need to worry about any blank values in column H because they are the results of a calculation that yields a number even if the row is otherwise blank.
The ISERROR clause does allow me to name the running total column since without it the formula would be trying to add a string to a number in row two. However, in this particular spreadsheet I do not need to name that column because it is hidden. (The running total number column is used in another column that formats it as part of a string that contains other conditional information.) In the interests of simplicity, I will not add the ISERROR clause to my formula in this spreadsheet but I will keep it in mind for use in other spreadsheets in which the column will not be hidden & needs to be named.
Of course, as an alternative I could just create the column name as an independent text object. Wherever possible, I tend to favor workarounds like that to reduce formula complexity. -
Unexpected "result of the string concatenation is too long" error
Hello,
I am using Oracle Database 11.2.0.
When querying my database with a common table expression which concatenates VARCHAR2 strings, I receive an ORA-01489 error although I'm doubting that I am concatenating more than 4000 characters.
To be more precise, I have a table entity which basically stores XML elements including their parent element and their sibling position among its siblings. The CREATE statement for this table is listed below.
CREATE TABLE Entity (
ID NUMBER(10,0) NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
Name VARCHAR2(100) NOT NULL,
Parent NUMBER(10,0) REFERENCES Entity(ID),
Sibling_Pos NUMBER(2,0) DEFAULT 0
Now, I would like for all elements to be concatenated with their ancestor elements to a structure like this:
"/root_element(sibling_pos)/.../ancestor_element(sibling_pos)/parent_element(sibling_pos)/current_element(sibling_pos)"
(where root_element, ancestor_element, parent_element and current_element are just values from the name column of the entity table)
In order to achieve this, I use a common table expression which concatenates the name and sibling_pos values as shown below:
WITH entity_cte (lvl, id, path) AS (
SELECT 1 AS lvl, id, '/' || name || '(0' || sibling_pos || ')' AS path
FROM entity
WHERE parent IS NULL
UNION ALL (
SELECT lvl + 1 AS lvl, e.id, entity_cte.path || '/' || e.name || '(' || cast(e.sibling_pos AS VARCHAR2(2)) || ')' AS path
FROM entity_cte, entity e
WHERE entity_cte.id = e.parent
SELECT lvl, id, path
FROM entity_cte e
After inserting certain values, I get the ORA-01489 error, that the result of the string concatenation is too long. The maximum is referred to as being 4000 characters for VARCHAR2 in the oracle documentation and in various websites. Of course, it is clear to me by just using the common table expression like that, I could run into such an error. However, due to the structure of my XML documents, I doubted that the resulting strings would be more than 4000 characters long.
So, I rearranged my query in order to count the characters to be concatenated instead of actually concatenating them. The query is stated below as well, the changes are marked bold:
WITH entity_cte (lvl, id, path) AS (
SELECT 1 AS lvl, id, length('/' || name || '(0' || sibling_pos || ')') AS path
FROM entity
WHERE parent IS NULL
UNION ALL (
SELECT lvl + 1 AS lvl, e.id, entity_cte.path + length('/' || e.name || '(' || cast(e.sibling_pos AS VARCHAR2(2)) || ')') AS path
FROM entity_cte, entity e
WHERE entity_cte.id = e.parent
SELECT lvl, id, path
FROM entity_cte e
ORDER BY path DESC
The result of the query gives me a maximum length of 319 characters.
To be sure, I also checked the maximum level depth (indicated by the column named lvl in the common table expression), meaning the maximum number of elements in my path (the concatenated string). The result is 18. As I use VARCHAR2(100) for the name column and add 5 charcaters in each level, the maximum number of characters expected for 18 levels would be 1890.
So, now I wonder is the ORA-01489 maybe raised for another reason? Or is there something else I am missing?
Any help would be appreciated. Further suggestions to track down the error are more than welcome. Thanks in advance.Thanks for the hint, BluShadow.
Still, I don't reach that limit of 1000 characters with my actual data (yet). I understand that if my data changes, I might run into that error with the given query. But I don't understand why this error is raised with the given data I have. The longest string in the column "name" is 32 characters long up to now. When I'm adding 5 characters on each level and I only have max 18 levels that should only result in max 2664 bytes.
@odie_63
The database characterset is: AL32UTF8. If I googled correctly, than it just confirms what BluShadow said, that one character is represented by max 4 byte.
Regarding the sample data, the XML document that I am inserting and which causes the error comprises 1058 nodes. That means I have 1058 entries in my entity table. I think it would be no sense posting all of it here, but is there a way that I can attach a text file containing an insert script to this post?
Some sample data from the entity table orderd by the length of the string in the name column are shown below.

Charting Running Totals as Percentage
I'm trying to show a running total as a percent of another running total in a chart.
The report details have a unit ID (serial Number) and a flag indicating whether or not the unit went through rework.
Running total 1 is a distinct count of unit ID, running total 2 is a distinct count of unit ID where the flag is No.
I can make a chart that shows both counts, but running total 2 is always a count, and I'd like to show it as a percent of running total 1.
I can create a formula that shows total2 as a percent of total 1 and put this in the group footer - but I can't chart on that formula.
Is what I'm trying to do possible?
Thanks

The technique involves building your charted values into strings and passing them to a sub-report to do the charting.
I found I had to make several changes to way the report works in my situation - mainly because of grouping. -
Order top down for a running total
HI Is it possible to do this. I have a running total for the amt column of the row. There is one group, the transaction code. is it possible to order the data according to the amount column from high to low?
hi Paul,
a group cannot unfortunately be sorted on anything that is considered whileprintingrecords...e.g. running totals, shared vars.
however, if this is a requirement then you can pass the sort criteria to a subreport and then use the subreport to display your data. the subreport is then sorted using this criteria (rolled up in a string running total) and the main report is suppressed.
as an example, have a look at the attachment...extract the contents and change the .txt extension to .rpt. there are some instructions on the report as to how to use the above technique.
your other choice is to create the report off of a Command object and create the running total in the command object.
SQL Expressions can sometimes be used (depending on your database) to bring in RT data but require a Select statement inside the expression which is unfortunately not supported. so a Command would be recommended should you wish to do this with SQL.
cheers,

Item Transaction History Report - Calculation for creating 'Running Total'
Hello
Using Oracle Discoverer, we have written a report that pulls back all Inventory Transactions (by item number). This report lists both transactions IN (e.g. receipts into the store) and OUT (e.g. issues out from the store).
Our customer would like an additional column, to represent 'Running Total', to be added to the report. This column needs to capture the running 'On Hand Quantity' for the associated Item, as each transaction (both transactions IN and OUT of store) is displayed.
For example, if the initial/first transaction for an item was a Receipt of 500, then this column (on the first line) should display 500. If the second transaction for the item was an issue of 15, then this column (on the second line) should display 485. If the third transaction was for an issue of 50, then this column (on the third line) should display 435. If the fourth transaction was for a receipt of 20, then this column (on the fourth line) should display 455 etc etc
I'm not sure how I'd write a calculation to cater for this (within discoverer) - do you know if this is achievable? Any help would be much appreciated. This would be easy enough to do in Excel, but I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to discoverer(!)
Many thanks
RossHi,
You can generally do this type of calculation using analytic functions. You would partition by the item number and order by the transaction date in the analytic function. You can use SUM function (with an order by) to get a running total of a column in the report. You can SUM a calculation containing a CASE statement which changes the OUT transactions to a negative number. The SUM function will start at zero, so you then can use FIRST_VALUE function to get the first value for the item which you could then add to the totals.
