Show column in report header

Hi
Is there a way of showing a selected column in the report header in Portal, I believe I may need to use the htp.print function?
For example
if the sql was
select emp, mgr from emp
how could I get the 'mgr' column to show in the header?
Thanks in advance

I am trying to get a report that appears something like below:
Manager Name: John
Employee1
Employee2
Employee3
Employee4
which could be produced from 'select manager, employee from
emp where manager = 'JOHN';
I would wish the 'manager name' to show only in the header
Thanks

How to show sysdate in report header

Hi everyone
i want to show the Sysdate option in my report header.
i have been looking around and i found out that i have to add {$SYSDATE()$} to my report default value, the issue is
1) cant find where is my default value so i can edit it
2) is there anyway that i can write this comman {$SYSDATE()$} in my header and it will call the system date ?
thanks

In the Data Model Editor go to Parameters.
Create a New Parameter
1. Give it a Name P_Sysdate
2 set Data Type to Date
3 Set Default Value to {$SYSDATE()$}
when you create you XML it should look like

<DATA_DS>
<P_SYSDATE>2013-07-03T01:00:00.000-04:00</P_SYSDATE>
<G_1>

SAP Report Painter - How to show currency key in header

I've created a new report painter report against table Faglflext. Basic key figures are extracting Local Currency (HSL). This generic report will be used for various company codes that have different local currencies. In the report header I've specified a General Text Variable with Variable name currency but no data is displayed. The data in the columns are however correct based on company code selection.
Please advise how I can show currency type in header.
Thanks

Hi Sonja
You have chosen HSL in the column definition which means to display the values in comp code currency
If I have understood your requirement correct, you want to display the currency of the company code in the Header text or some where as a text, based on the company code given in selection parameter
Thats really not possible!!
However, one smart thing you can do is to
1. Go to GRR2
2. Choose your report and Menu Extras > Report Text > Title page or Header
3. Enter a Text saying that
"This report displays the values in comp code currency... Currency of comp code 1 is USD, comp code 2 is SGD, Comp code 3 is GBP, etc"
Hence, the users would come to know the currency in which it is executed

Need help showing multiple parameters in a report header

CA Forum: Formula
hi-- i am new to this and i have created a report where the person picks one or more items (they are different hospital suites) and i need for them to print on the report header all of the selections that they chose. right now it only prints the name of the first one they choose..
any help would be good..
i do know it's a string value....
thank-you for anything you can help me with....
basically if 1 is picked then it needs to state that name, if 2 or more are picked id like it to say Name, name, name, etx...

CA Forum: Formula
the actual parameter is a number, but what im trying to populate on the heading is the name of the number..
for example... when you choose the resource unit of 31 when you refresh i want it to show the name of it which is ORA Surgery.... but if they choose 31 & 53 then id like it to show ORA Surgery, ORD Surgery.... right now it just pulls the first name choosen.. does that make sense..
so the parameter is a number, but the name(the one i want populated) is a string
and oh gosh,, thanks for your quick responses..

Hide/show text boxes in report header

Hi All,
I'm trying to implement a request to have a tablix header frozen in excel. So, I'm placing it in the report header as text boxes. However, there are two different tablixes (a one per page) with two different headings. I'm trying to place those two headings
into two rectangles in the report header hiding and showing a one of it based on the Page No. It works but only for the first tablix heading as it's shown on the first page and hidden on the second page. But, the second tablix heading is not shown on the second
page for some reason. It's probably due to the Page No rendering is going later than the text boxes appearances on the second page or something else causing it.
I did try to use the Global Page No in if visibility statement for those two rectangles, trying to get Page No through a function, using it as a parameter, but nothing is making the second rectangle to show on the second page report header.
Please, help with how it could be done.
Thanks

Hi al-dol,
Per my understanding that you have put the textbox in the page header to display the table head instead of in the tablix thus you will got the frozen head when export to excel, you have two table header, so you need to add two rectangle to display both in
two different page, now the issue is the second page header didn't display, right?
I have testted on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue can be caused by when you move the rectangle2 on the position of the rectangle1 then the rectangle becomes the child of rectangle1 but not the child of page header thus you will
not shown the rectangle2.
Please check the details information below to see if you have got the rectangle2 inside the rectangle1 like below:
if so, please move the rectangle2 one time and check to make sure you got the "Page Header" in the parent section of both rectangle:
Please also make sure you have use below expression to show/hide the rectangle:
rectangle1:
=iif(Globals!PageNumber=1,false,true)
rectangle2:
=iif(Globals!PageNumber=2,false,true)
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Report Header and Column Header Removal

Hi,
we wanted remove report headers and Column header in each downloaded report. we are planning on using the Report header specifiers while reading each line, specifiers like "Report Name:","Report Time:","Time Zone:","Report
Filter:", etc.,
Here the question is are these values changes in a given version for each report? OR is it better to go by using line numbers i.e say first 8 lines always represents Report Headers and Next line is always blank and 10th line is always Column Header?
Report Name: Budget Summary
Report Time: 1/18/2015
Time Zone: Various
Last Completed Available Day: N/A
Last Completed Available Hour: N/A
Report Aggregation: Day
Report Filter:
Rows: 615
Date Account number
Account name Campaign name
Currency code
Thanks

Good question. Yes the reports all generally follow the pattern you described. I have reached out to the feature team, and will follow up with the suggested best practice.

Dynamic report heading columns

Hi
my report has 0-30, 31-60,61-90,......... as report heading ,it is given as boilerplate in paper layout , I want to make it as dynamic by select a list of days like 30,40,45,......etc , if I give 100 days
it should come like 0-100,101-200,201-300, 301-365, above 365, total that is if i give a date 31 dec 2013 , and 100 days .
how to make the layout structure dynamic ...... pls help
thanks in advance

Making Dynamic layout in the Forms / Reports tools is very difficult (unlike eg. ADF Framework).
One way to simulate the dynamic layout in the Reports is to have a generic columns (eg. column_1, column_2 ... etc.), but the number of generic columns must be greater or equal to the number of "real columns".
Another way is that you put all the "real columns" into one column, which must be well-formatted (with the correct number of blank characters, etc.).
As for the dynamic SQL query in Reports, I think it is better to use the dynamic ref cursor, but the Reports lexical parameters.
In order to use dynamic ref cursors in Reports, you need a little trick. See this old thread:
Can we create report based on stored procedure

Report - header columns(Heading) unscrollable

HI 1
I have a report in list display. which has the header with headings of the report and under which the report follows i.e , in header , material , plant , item,net price ect is mentioned and the detaisl about it follows under it. Now when I scroll down the report the headerr details alos scrolls up and it becomes difficlut to see what is against what if I have come down in the report as the header has vanished upwards on scroll. How do I make my report header static at one place and teh items just scrolls under it so that w ecan easily locate what is against what.
Thanks
Aarav

SO you mean to say that I ahve remove the write statements from my reports and add teh column headings in the list headings side by sude in the row mentioned there , but my headings are in three lines one under each other . If you run ME2M report and see a output in list display then you will see that the header is constant and the item sunder it move , that is how I wnat it to happen in my report too. Kiundly suggest please.
Thanks

CR 2008 Advanced Chart in Report Header -Returning Repeated Data

Very new to CR. I've a situation i need some assistance with. I have an advanced chart located in a report header. the chart is sourcing data from a stored procedure call. the stored procedure returns timeseries data (timestamp, value) for a one month period, thirty values. There are many columns in the result set but i'm trending only two of tehm in the trend.
Problem is that, although the data set has only thirty values, when I view the trend visually the data is repeated many times over. So i'll see the data for the dates 1...30, then 1...30, many times over. If I zoom into the trend I can get to a point where there's a single month of data in the extents but this isn't the desired behaviour; i want to see only the 30 values plotted.
configuration is,
Advanced Chart -Line chart format-
"For each record"
(Date Time Field)
"Show Values"
(Series Data Field)
I've confirmed using Field Explorer / browse data that there are only thirty values in the result set. What am I overlooking here?

I am having trouble figuring out how to get a date to show on a report

Hi,
I have a query with a structure on both my rows and columns.
In my columns, I have my key figures and on them are period/year restrictions. For example, the first column is the current fiscal period/year - 1 period, the next column is the current fiscal period/year - 13 periods (so I can compare this year to last year)
On my rows, I have a structure that is listing sales where on each line, I am restricting by groups of accounts.
What I need on my report is a header stating what the time period of the report is for. That is, the restriction of the current fiscal period/year -1 that is being placed on the first column also needs to be up in the page heading.
This is going to be hard to explain but here goes. My columns are reporting key figures constrained by time.
<page header>
REPORT: XXXXXX
REPORTING FOR: Per/Yer (Which is equal to the date restriction that is on the first KF column, that is curr yr/period - 1 period)
<report body>
SALES GROUP / RPT MONTH / LY
Mens / amount (restricted to curr year/period - 1) / amount (restricted to curr year/period - 13)
Womens / amount (-1) / amount (-13)
Childrens / amount (-1) / amount (-13)
I tired adding it to my row structure but since my KFs are constrained by per/year, I can not drop per/year onto my rows.
I tried to add a column showing time but BEx wants me to add a key figure (since the columns have key figures in them) so that does not work either.
How can I get the value of "current period/year - 1 period" to be part of the data (not a label) in the query so that I can put it into a header on my report.
Thanks for your help!

Hi,
Click on Query Property,
In General tab of Query Property, select New variable at Discreption.
Give Discription and technical name. Select Processing type Replacement path. select Reference Characteristic year/period. In replacement path tab, Select variiable with- Variable and Select your variable(which will give you previous fiscal year/ period- already exist or you have to create to get previous fiscal year period) and select Replace with - Label. Assign this variable in your query discreption

Report Title in FR Report Header

Hi,
I'm creating a Report in FR which has image on the Left side and Title on Right side in Report Header. I'm creting a report Title for ex. ABC company. I've nearly 20 entities in Column. When i view the report in workspace, it looks fine, but when i export to excel, the Report title is showing at the end of all columns, for ex. in this case it is showing the report title after column 20, which looks odd. Can any one help on this ?
Thanks,
PVR

PVR,
In design via FR Studio for the report have you 'anchored' the title and image? Did fix them horizontally and vertically?
With my images/titles I fix to Middle/Center and Right/Top and they export to excel just fine.

how to get that

Hi Sunny,
When you select the reference characteristics as 0CALMONTH then you don't need to have any offset, based on the value of your characteristics it will show you the proper heading. In the description of your key figure your variable name should be included in &Varname& then only it will replace it with text.
While creating Text variable please make sure that you have done all the settings as I mentioned in my previous post.
And last but not the least if you are not getting this output in development system then try creating the same query in production system and check, in our case dev. system has got different settings and text variable doesn't work in dev but they work fine in production.

Hi,
If you are using BEx analyzer :
On the top yo will find button say Insertnavigation pan, here you will get option to display the rows ( in your case Project) look for multiple options like tab dimension, display setting - explore it
If you are using BOBJ ANALYSIS, there also in display setting you have options to display variables, filters and even the characteristics.
Thank-You.
