How to use Value Variable in Report Painter Column defined as Formula

Hi Gurus,
In report painter, how can I add one field (exchange rate) in selection screen, so that user can provide the exchange rate to be used, then execute the report, the exchange rate will used to multiple local currency amount.
The reason for this is we want use provided exchange rate to convert the amount from once currency to the other currency.
Alternatively I am studying the functionality of "Value Variable" and found that I can perform the task from this. I have created the value variable but when I am using the variable in Report Painter columns as "&ZVALVAR", system is giving me error. I read the help and it states that use the variable with "&" and do it as it is mentioned.
Can anybody suggest what I need to do to make it workable.
Thanks

I did try using the presentation variable, but that does not work too. I am setting session variable in the dashboard prompt (select 'request variable'). When I use presentation variable, it hard codes the value of the variable name.
sql is
select date from work_order where facility = @{p_facility}
the physical log sql is
select date from work_order where facility = 'p_facility'

Two Key figures in Report Painter column?

Dear Experts,
We have some company codes with group currency setup and others without this. I have created a report painter report with table GLT0. I want ability to produce a consolidated report for all the company codes.
However, when I define the report column, I can only select one basic key figure in the column viz. HSL - Local currency or KSL - Group currency for example. In my report I have selected HSL since majority of the company codes report on local currency.
Is there a way that the program can be told to change the basic key figure during report execution to KSL - Grp Curr for select company codes only?
Or is there a way to have two basic key figures in a report painter column? I know I sound foolish on this question. But still I ask this.
Any thoughts, pls share with me. Thanks.

You are right Sue. But unfortunately way back in the 90's when our company implemented SAP, those company codes did not activate the 2nd LC as USD. Thus, these companies only have figures updated in the 1st LC which is USD.
Subsequently, we acquired new companies overseas and then for these co's we switched on the 2nd LC as USD with the 1st LC as the country specific currency.

Hi!
If you can modify the report itself, you can modify the column order as well.
1. Click on the column's herder
2. Mark the column with F9 button
3. Click on the destination column's header
4. Choose shift with F8 button
That's all

How to display a caracteristic in report painter column

Hi guys,
Got a question about reports using Report Painter,
apparently it seems that lines are for caracteristics and columns are for key figures but would it be possible to have columns displaying only caracteristics without any key figure?! If so would like you to give me some hint.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can modify the Header Text of the report. In transaction code GRR2 (Report change), select the report which needs to be changed and go to Menu Path >
Extras > Report Texts > Header.
Here, you can modify the text as per your requirements.
Thanks

Report Painter: Column Setting

Dear Gurus,
Can I set a column only display value based on few GL code listed? Is that I can directly set it in GRR2 or have to go GS12?
Let say I have actual column and budget column, I only want GL code related to welfare display in budget column, but actual column display all the value. Is that possible to make it?
Please guide.
Thank you very much!
Warm regards

Hi,
Using your example, if the welfare related cost elements can be specified as a range, in the report definition, you can directly enter that range as CE 'From' and 'To' in the budget column. Enter something like 1 to 999999999 in the actual column.
A better way to do this is to use sets. Tcode GS01; table CCSS; field KSTAR; set type BASIC; Name ZWELFARE; you can specify more than on lines of 'from' and 'to' values (as long as they do not overlap). You then use the set in the report definition by flagging the set indicator and entering the set.

Report Painter - column missing

Hi Experts,
I am creating a new report using t-code: CXR4, I have created a form (a) for the two axis (matrix) with all my report format and I created also another form (b)which is just one axis with key figures.
After replacing the columns with form (b) in form (a), I noticed that there are 4 columns missing.
For example in form (b) I have 20 columns created but when replaced in form (a) columns it only displayed 16 column although I have displayed all hidden columns.
The missing 4 columns is the column in between 1 - 20 columns.
Is anyone has any idea why is this happened?
Many thanks in advance!
Point will be rewarded for those useful.
Cheers,
WL

Thanks Barry,
I have checked in the next sections/page right but the missing columns are in between the 20 columns...Eg. column no. 15 -18 is not shown in the page/form but rest are in the form. Appreciate your expert advise please.

How to change order of report painter columns

I have a report which shows the columns in one order when in design mode in GRR2 but when the report runs, the columns display in a different order. When in design mode, you can see the actual output order by clicking the form overview button and selecting the columns tab.
I am trying to figure out how to set the column order, short of deleting all the columns and recreating them.
Does anyone know if there is an easy way to do this?
Thanks all!
Bob

Doug,
using MDC with SAP is ok. Try the following:
- Use SE14->Edit->Storage Parameter->For new creation and specify the ORGANIZIE BY DIMENSION clause.
- Go to the change-mode for the table in SE11. Switch to the 'Fields'-Tab and select the complete second line. Then click on 'Cut'.
- Now select the first line in the same way and click on 'Paste'. By doing so you moved the field at position 2 to position 1.
- Save the changes, click on 'Check' and, if that succeeds, click on 'Activate'.
Hope that helps.
Regards,
Johannes

Report Painter: 12 month rolling

Hi all,
In SAP IDES, we have 12-month rolling under the library 0F1, 0F-EX001 12 months rolling.
The column of period, which is &0F-RP11 &0F-RY11 to &0F-RP00 &0F-RY00 ... When execute, this will display as follows: 1 2000, 2 2000, 3 2000, ... 12 2000, where 2000 is the fiscal year.
Question:
I tried to simulate the same setting, but my new report does not have enough column width to capture the variable (short text), but medium and long text is OK). But during running, no matter how I change the replort layout, like lead column, columns, etc ... the report still cannot cater the fiscal year variable.
Therfore, does anyone know how to "enlarge" the column width?
Thanks in advance.
sbmel

Hi
To change the column width of the report painter columns, follow the below steps:
1. Keep the cursor on the column header which you want to change
2. From the Menu, select Formatting->Columns
3. Change the value of the column width field to what you want
4. and press enter
This will change the column width of all the columns assigned to this Format group.
However if you want to change the column width of one particular column without changing the others, then you can follow the below steps:
1. Keep the cursor on the column header which you want to change
2. From the Menu, select Formatting->Columns
3. Change the Format group to say a different value which is not used in the report (say 04 or 05)
4. Change the column witdh
5. Press assign and press enter.
Hope this answers your question.
Regards

EXTREMELY URGENT: % Cost (out of Total Costs) Column in Report Painter

Hi Gurus,
I'm not new to Report Painter, but, am stuck at one thing.
In report, Col 1 shows Costs by Administration (row 1), Labor (row 2), Others (row 3) and total (row 4 being formula as total of row 1, 2 & 3).
Client wants col 2 to show % Cost of each row out of total Expenses (so totals row in this col. will have 100%)
How to do it technically.
Please help. It's EXTREMELY URGENT.
I'll award points ASAP
Regards,
SB

Its abit difficult to illustrate without having a screen dump, what you can do is make use of something called special cell definition. Now if you double click on the cell for column 1 of row 4 for total costs then the system identifies it as a cell Z001 which in fact will recognise a constant value of total costs , thereby you can define in Column 2 as a formula element with (X001/Z001)*100 thereby giving a value in %. Try it and see if it helps
