Summary column in a union query....

hi,
i've a report. the datamodel is like ....
select inv_total,inv_id from invoices
union all
select -pymt_total,pymt_id from payments
union all
select misc_total,misc_id from transactions
where misc_code='D'
union all
select -misc_total,misc_id from transactions
where misc_code='C'
this will give me output for all the customers. i want to print total for
inv_total+pymt_total+misc_total+misc_total which will reset at customer id.
Can i create a summary column that will reset at customer id column? i'm using reports 3.0.8
thanks

1) Add customer_no to the SELECT as column3.
2) Create 2 groups of the query: G1 with customer_no and G2 with the other 2 columns.
3) Create a summary column (Use the toolbar on the left, the symbol has the Sigma sum symbol). Choose column 1 as the column to sum. Set it to re-set at G1 (I think default is Report).

Can I reference a Summary Column in my sql query?

Basically the subject asks it all. I have a very complex report that has many data linked queries from the "main" query. One of these data linked queries has a sub-query within it that references the primary key of the main query. I can't data link (I can, but it's useless) using this field as it's a sub-query that needs the link, and that link specifically. I've tried to create a Summary Column that gives me the "First" (and only, so it's safe) in order to reference it in the SQL block, but no go. I'm thinking this isn't even possible? Anyone have any ideas? Right now I'm referencing it as I would in a PL/SQL block (:CS_PK), but it's just treated as a parameter that's never passed. Doesn't read the summary column. Hmmm... I'm stuck.

Hi all... this report is still not completed. I've tried the summary column, and created a formula column that sets the user parameter to the primary key that's needed elsewhere. The report runs, no errors, but my best guess is that it's simply not reading that formula column. Here's my formula column:
function CF_1FORMULA0024 return Number is
begin
if :tblassessmentinst is null then
:tblassessmentinst := :CA_ASSESS_INST;
elsif :tblassessmentinst is NOT null then
:tblassessmentinst := :CA_ASSESS_INST; -- this WAS :tblassessmentinst but not working with prod ver, so delay
else
:tblassessmentinst :=0;
end if;
return(:tblassessmentinst);
end;
For testing, I display both the :tblassessmentinst on the report, as well as this formula column. The formula column always displays the correct number, but the :tblassessment only displays 1 (of many) records that need to be displayed. It's like it's not refreshing the formula column for each record? Again, still super stumped, so throw any ideas my way please.
Thanks again,

How to get Average of a column in UNION query

Hi All,
I will try to explain the issue as much as I can and If you need clarification on any piece please let me know.
So, I have a Union Query with two sets of Criteria.
The first Criteria Brings the list of Buildings and a set of Measures for it. The second criteria does the same but with a different set of filters.
No I use a UNION between these both criteria and present them in a Pivot view so that we only have one row per each building. The values in each of the criteria in the UNION query are Summed
Ex:
Building
Metric 1
Metric 2
1
20
30
1
25
35
2
40
50
2
45
55
So as I show in the pivot the result is
Building
Metric 1
Metric 2
1
45
65
2
85
105
Now the issue is with the Grand Total.
I want the Grand Total to be an Average of the Buildings. So for Metric 1 The Grand Total should be (45+85)/2 because we have two buildings so the answer should be 65.
How can I get that.
Bottom Line: Need an Average as the Grand Total when the Aggregation rule on the column is set to Sum.
we use 11.1.6.10 version

Hi VJ
What you are asking is impossible in the pivot table itself as you are asking one part of the pivot table to aggregate via one method, and another to aggregate via another method, on the same column ..
It can be done using a calculated item. For your example above you'd use the formula ( $1 + $2) / 2.
.. But thats HIGHLY explicit, and would only work if you KNOW how many buildings will come back in the query.. EVERYTIME.
Why not restructure the query to combine it into a single query using an combinations of filters with OR in between?

Sorting by summary column, query based on previous query.

I've got a report with one query currently thats broken down itno a couple groups. I'm trying to change the order they are displyed by based on a summary count of each group. I'm also trying to do another query for the report based on the results of the first one and display that with the information from the first.

This is a summary done by the report and not in the sql query at the moment. I would also like to create a second query where it takes the store id and month from the first query and uses it to look up the total sales each store did so I can determine what percentage of the total sales the bad sales were. I would like to add this column plus a calculated percentage column to the right of the current columns but still have them grouped as they are. Is this possible to do or will i need to change my original query?
Not very familiar with reports and I haven't been able to find anything to indicate how this should/could be done yet. Any help is appreciated.

hi,
there is no break order property for summary columns .
so use the group by and take the sorting order for whole group
example:
SELECT DEPTNO, JOB, ENAME, SAL FROM EMP
ORDER BY SAL
You then create two groups, G_DEPT and G_JOB. G_DEPT contains
the DEPTNO column and G_JOB contains the JOB column. If you
specify a Break Order of Descending for the DEPTNO column and
Ascending for the JOB column, your output would appear similar
to that below (assuming you use a Tabular style):
Deptno Job Ename Sal
30 CLERK JAMES 950.00
MANAGER BLAKE 2850.00

Access Summary column in a query

Hi All,
I am new to oracle reports. I am using report builder 10.1.2.0.2.
I have a summary column in my report. I would like to use this summary column in another query.
if is use this column directly in the query, i am getting the below error:
"Field 'F1' references column '<summary column name>' at a frequency below its group. "
Both these fields are in the same frame. In the object navigator, both are displayed under the same group name.
please let me know if there any way to access summary columns in another query.
Thanks.

You can use a field from one query in another query as parameter, i.e. preceded by colon. To do this first create link of "Group to Query" type between the first query's group where the summary column is, and the second query.

Summary Column and repeating frames

I have a report that shows customer orders(1 per page). If a customer orders 3 pizzas and 2 of them are identical, same size, same toppings, crust i want the quanitity column to sum as 2. So for this example instead of having 3 rows with two of them being identical with the quanity column dispalying 1 for each, I want 2 rows with quanity showing 2 for the identical pizzas and 1 for the other.
I have everything in the same group/repeating frame right now and it is showing all 3 pizzas on there own row. Do i need a summary column and change my groupings? How can i achieve this the summed quanity for identical orders?
CURRENT:
Crust......Toppings......size.....quantity
Thin.......Cheese........small....1
Thin.......Cheese........small....1
thick.......meat.........large....1
NEW:
Crust......Toppings......size.....quantity
Thin.......Cheese........small....2
thick.......meat.........large....1

Forget summary columns. This can easily be just a group by query:
with t as (select 'Thin' crust, 'Cheese' top ,'Small' sze, 1 qty from dual
           union all
           select 'Thin' , 'Cheese' ,'Small' , 2 from dual
           union all
           select 'Thick' , 'Meat' ,'Large', 1 from dual
select t.crust, t.top, t.sze, sum(qty)
from t
group by crust,top,sze;
CRUST TOP    SZE     SUM(QTY)
Thin Cheese Small          3
Thick Meat   Large          1

Summary column with where clause

Hi all,
I'm using Oracle Report Builder 10GR2. I have the following issue: In one of the query i have the following result :
Suppliers     0
Suppliers     1408
Total in BGN     1408
Customers      6024
Customers      11779.32

Cash      1363.85
Cash      691
Cash      991.23
Cash      688
Total in BGN     2355.08I want to make a sum for these columns where corresponds to description " Total in BGN" . Maybe it is a simple task... Do i have a chance to select from a query in a Report Builder?
If yes, pls specify? Or maybe there is a chance to add a where clause for summary column. But keep in mind that this is one of the queries in the report builder and i have to add summary with this conditions. I cannot change the existing query but probably add a new one.
Any ideas?

Hello,
You should use parameter file.Another question i can see you are using 11g.Why don't you use data pump?.
Data Pump is faster and have more features and enhancement than regular imp and exp.
You can do the following:
sqlplus / as sysdba
Create directory DPUMP_DIR3 for 'Type here your os path that you want to export to';then touch a file:
touch par.txt
In this file type the following the following :
tables=schema.table_name
dumpfile=yourdump.dmp
DIRECTORY=DPUMP_DIR3
logfile=Your_logfile.log
QUERY =abs.texp:"where hiredate>'01-JAN-13' "then do the following
expdp username/password parfile='par.txt'
If you will import from Oracle 11g to version 10g then you have to addthe parameter "version=10" to the parameter file above

Placing Summary column in master data block

I have a master/detail datablock form. i want to show the sum of "amount" field that is present in detail datablock and this summar field must be placed in master data block but it does not compile the form and shows following error.
FRM-30377: Summary item must reside in single-record block or in same block as summarized item.
Item: S
Block: PBL_PAYMENT_MASTER
FRM-30085: Unable to adjust form for output.
it works only by putting it in the same detail block with "Query All Records" to YES.
But I want to place this summary column in master data block but then it is not working.
How we can solve this problem.

Hi,
In this case:
-- i put my summary column in the master data block with :Query_All_RECORDS set to yes
--but Physically it is placed on detailed block on the canvas
and it Works with this trick.

ORDER BY columns in a UNION

Hi all, I have a pair of statements connected by a UNION, where I need to sort the final result according to columns not appearing in any column list:
SELECT REF(d) FROM DOCUMENT_TABLE d
WHERE d.header$.parentKey = ?
UNION
SELECT REF(d) FROM DOCUMENT_TABLE d, CROSS_TABLE k
WHERE k.doc = d.key$ AND k.folder = ?
ORDER BY d.header$.name
this fails saying that d.header$.name is an invalid identifier (ORA-904), like being out of scope.
Both union branches succeed when run alone (select + order by).
How can I sort by colums without having them to be returned ?
In all examples I found columns are also retrieved and referenced by either alias or by position.
Thanks.

Hi,
In a UNION query, you can only ORDER BY columns in the SELECT clause.
You can do the UNION in a sub-query, then do the ORDER BY in the main query, where you can ORDER BY anything:
WITH     union_results     AS
     SELECT REF (d)     AS ref_d
     ,     name
     FROM      DOCUMENT_TABLE     d
     WHERE      d.header$.parentKey = ?
UNION
        SELECT REF (d)     AS ref_d
     ,     name
     FROM      DOCUMENT_TABLE     d
     ,     CROSS_TABLE     k
     WHERE     k.doc       = d.key$
     AND     k.folder = ?
SELECT    REF_D
FROM       union_results
ORDER BY name
;Your front end may be able to hide specified columns, so you could do this without a sub-query.
For example, in SQL*Plus you can say:
COLUMN name    NOPRINT
     SELECT REF (d)     AS ref_d
     ,     name
     FROM      DOCUMENT_TABLE     d
     WHERE      d.header$.parentKey = ?
UNION
        SELECT REF (d)     AS ref_d
     ,     name
     FROM      DOCUMENT_TABLE     d
     ,     CROSS_TABLE     k
     WHERE     k.doc       = d.key$
     AND     k.folder = ?
ORDER BY name
;The result set actually contains two columns, but SQL*Plus will only display one.

Use of summary columns?

Typically, this sort of thing is easily achieved in Excel where you can calculate the values in an output column based on input values. I need to do this in Reports. I am using Reports 6i (Report Builder 6.0.8.27.0)
I have a relatively simple query where I am outputting values (Counts) and then I need to display the summation on the next line. Let me explain using an example:
ID     Start Date          End Date          Column 1     Column 2
=============================================
1     01-JAN-2010     30-JUN-2010          120                0
2     01-JUL-2010     31-DEC-2010          200               120
3     01-JAN-2011     30-JUN-2011           115               320
4     01-JUL-2011     31-DEC-2012          300               435
5     01-JAN-2013     30-JUN-2013          100               735
As you can see that Column 2 is derived by adding the previous values in Column 1 and outputting it on the next line.
So, for ID = 4, Column 2 = 120 + 200 + 115 = 435 and ID = 5, Column 2 = 120 + 200 + 115 + 300 = 735.
When I use summary columns, I don't get the desired result.
I could technically create a Formula column and have a place holder column and re-query the results but I was hoping to avoid another SQL when the data has already been fetched. Any ideas or pointers would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks

Change of source of Summary columns in RDF

Hello Everybody.
For the existing query column in RDF, which is used by one of the summary column as source.
If the query is getting changed as per the bussiness requirement, the source of the Summary column is changing to NULL.
Is there any way not to allow this change in RDF. Because lot of query modifications are done.And it consumes lot of time to change every source of the Summary columns being used.
Appreciate your help.
Thanks.

Yogesh,
Does both the clients allow development in the server? Generally it should not be the case.
Does the client still exists in the server?
Here is a thread with replies for such an error message.
Re: regarding Client change for transport request
Check it,it may give you some lead.

Summary columns in portal forms

i have a master-detail form and i need to sum(one of detail columns) and display the result in the master block.
has anyone any ideas on how to have a summary column in master in oracle portal ?
has anyone done this before ?
thanx
null

Not exactly what you want, but I have managed to put a summary table at the end of the detail block. This gives a total for all detsail records for the current master, not just those displayed.
Add a pl/sql block to the 'after displaying the page' section of the Additional PL/SQL code tab to run the code you need. THis pl/sql block will include the p_session.get_value function to get the identifier of the master record, a query on the detail table and the HTML code to display the results.
Another method might be to create a view to contain the summary details you need for each master record, and base the master block on this view.
