Use calculated field(s) in other report

Hi everyone,
Is there a way to use a calculated field by itself in another report? I don't want to insert a sub report because it takes up too much space.
I just need to use few fields in other calculations in the new report.
Thank you

The only way I can think of doing this without subreports is to save the values in a database somewhere. In order to do this, the values would have to be calculated in the report's SQL Command data source. (I'm guessin' that's probably not what you're looking for, but using subreports is the only other way I can think of...)
HTH,
Carl

Using Calculated Field in Multi Value Field

In Siebel Application
Sales Order---> List
There is a field call "Sales Rep" which displays an "USERID" of Order Sales Team Mvg Applet.
But We want to display the Last Name and First Name (combined).We got the first and last name using calculated field (Active Full name).
When I try to get the full name, the system display the name based on the "Primary position", if I step out of the particular row and come back again
Is there any way to display the full name without step out any rows for Sales Rep field

Your description is a little confusing. For performance reasons it is always best to set the use primary join on multi value links. This means that when multi value fields are displayed in applets they always show the primary by default. If you want to display something other than the primary what is your rational behind this and why not make the record you want to display the primary?

Answers - would like to use calculated field's name, not expression

Hi Everyone,
I'am trying to make several calculated fields in a single query in Answers. Each field references the previous one, and the expression of the first one is already 5 rows long.
Now I reference it in the second calculated field by using "Edit Formula" -> "Column" -> 'Colum name'.
My problem is, that it puts the expression of the previous field, not it's name. I have to use it for almost 10 times in this single expression, so -although it works fine- it is totally unreadable, and very hard to debug for example.
And after all, I should use this field again, in several next calculated fields.
Does anyobody have an idea, how to make calculated fields having only the name of referenced other fields in it?
The repo is set for ad hoc reporting also, so using session variables which need to be set in Administrator Tool, is not an option.
Thanks for help in advance.

Hi Venkat,
thanks for the response. It would work, no doubt, in this special case, the problem is, that users use the repo for ad-hoc reporting aswell (and they don't have access to repo administration of course), so one can count on it, that there would be a new request of this kind every day to change the repo with customized user variables. I would like to avoid this of course.
Having the name of a referenced field in a new expression would be a simple solution. Is it possible, that it can't be done?

Problem faced when using calculated field as filter

Iam using an Oracle External Data Source.The external table contains a timestamp field and I add this to my data object.The year,month etc. functions work well on this field and results appear on list views.But when I try to generate a filter for this field and display the view I get errors.
SQLSYNTAXERROREXCEPTION_REPORTSERVER_STREAMINGLIST_INITIALIZE
Exception Message ORA-00904: "MONTH": invalid identifier
So,I tried out with the call center data object found in bam samples.This had a datetime field.Filters on calculated fields work fine here.
Is the former problem due to timestamp datatype or external datasource or anything else?
Thanks,
Raghuram

Answer to following questions will help me narrow down the problem:
1. Which version of BAM are you on - 10g or 11g?
2. What condition are you using in filter i.e. "is equal to", "is less than equal to", "is like"...etc?
3. In which format is the timestamp data being given in the filter? (by format, I mean mm-dd-yy HH:MM:SS etc)
4. Can you give the exact datatype of the DB in which this timestamp data is stored?

Embedding Xcelsius Dashboard using calculated fields (not static field)

Hi,
I can succesfully embed the Xcelsius dashboard toi Crystal and maintain the correct assignments in the data consumer and Flash Binding Expert. When the data changes in Crystal Reports, the chart is also changed however I am having problems when I want to use a value slider to manipulate data...When I base the chart data on a column of values that is generated using a formula for example. Sales * Percentage Increase. I can not get this to work.
When I run the report, I only see the static data which was used when the Xcelsius dashboard was generated.
Using the flash binding expert I assign the data values to existing fields in the report, but I am wanting to assign the data values to this calculated range which is only in the Xcelsius spreadsheet, please help me in how I can do this.
Thanks,
Rich

Hi this is solved, i just needed to link the field to the original field, not the formula. Xcelsius makes the connections in the background

Use opportunity fields in a custom report

Hi!
I have a problem. I am trying to use an opportunity field (actual close date) in a report but when I insert it all the records become duplicated.
I am using ACT 2008 and CR 2008.
Could anybody help me?

I'm not sure what an "opportunity field" is, but generally, when you are getting duplicate records it is because a JOIN is finding more than one record in one of the tables for each key from the other. What tables are you linking together, and how are they linked?

Calculation fields(column) In crystal report

Hi Experts
I have created a new report gainst A/R Invoice. Which contains DocNum, Docdate Card Name, DocTotal and Paidsum. Now I want derive balance and I want to put condtion formatting for those balance columns.
Can anyone help me How to calculate Doctotal-Paidsum to Balance column and to highlight the balance column which is more than sixty days amounts.
Waiting for ur replies.
By
Kalai

you need to create a formula field to do this and then just drag and drop it into the report like any other column.
formula should be along these lines
{OINV.DocTotal}-{OINV.Paidsum}
as for the highlighting, just go to the designer, right click on the field you want to highlight and go to highlighting expert and follow the wizard from there to create a condition of when highlighting should occur. if your field is not available in the "Value Of" just build the field yourself as a Formula field and you will then be able to select that from the "Value Of" list.
hope it helps...

Calculated field in a Report Template

Hi,
I am trying to create a calculated field based on other calculations made in placeholder fields on a report template.
If I have the following 2 fields:
e.g. A = (1+2), B = (2*3)
what is the best way to get C = A div B rather than having to list out all the calculations (i.e. (1+2) / (2*3)
How can you set these first 2 fields as variables into the calculation?
Thanks
Steve

For variables read this:
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12844_01/doc/bip.1013/e12187/T421739T481157.htm#4535390
Set x:=5
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'x', 5)?>
Get value of 'x'
<?xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'x')?>
Perform calculation on x, like x:=x+8
<?xdoxslt:set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'x', xdoxslt:get_variable($_XDOCTX, 'x' + 8)?>
cheers

Calculated fields based on data in multiple rows

Hi,
I am using SOA Suite 11.1.1.4 for BAM.
Can someone please help explain to me if and how we can use calculated fields in BAM data objects where the calculations are not only based on the data for that row, but on multiple rows ?
Like for example, this case can easily be constructed -->
TestDataObject Layout
Column1 integer
Column2 integer
Column3 calculated = Column1 + Column2
But if I want to create something like this -->
TestDataObject Layout
Column1 integer
Column2 integer
Column3 calculated = max(Column1) + avg(Column2)
Is it possible to do the above ?
Is it possible to check multiple rows of the other columns while calculating a value ?
Thanks & Regards,
Karan.

Hi, Karan.
Do you know you can do that in reports with calculated fields?
I guess it is not possible using calculating functions offered in data objects to do that.
If you, or anybody, discover how do that, please tell us. I would like to know that.

Filter Based on other report not working

Hi Gurus,
I am using OBIEE 10g.
I have a Dashboard page in that i have a prompt and 2 reports,(A, B reports). Report B is using the same columns as prompt where as report A not.
Report A has columns which hold the same data as report B, so i thougt to pass the values based on Report B column using the filter based on other report. I am able to complete it succssfuly but Report A is not having amount of data that i was excepting. When i started investigating i found out that the column which i am using in the prompt and report B have values ( NEW, OLD, NULL) report A able to take the values NEW and OLD but the NULL values are not passing to report A. In report B it is taking null value as it has filter as prompted.
Is it any way to have the values (NEW, OLD, NULL) in report A?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Ali

Hi Deep,
Thanks for taking time to answer my question.
I have to display null. If i Mask with something then i dont get proper data in report A, couse in the table it is null.
Thanks

How to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal Reports

I want to use the distinct key in formula field in SAP Crystal reports.
When i'm using it shows an error.
Please suggest me....

Hi,
Use DistinctCount keyword directly for your calculation instead of count(distinct(....
Alternatively, if you want to avoid duplicate records, under "File" > "Report Options" make the 'Select Distinct Records' as True.

SSRS Using WHERE in a calculated field

Hi All,
Im having a real issue with something that seems like it should be easier than it is.
In my tablix I want to add the expression =Sum(Fields!ID20.Value)-Sum(Fields!ID20.Value) BUT I need to determine if another criteria is met.
EG - I want =Sum(Fields!ID20.Value WHERE [InOut]="In")-Sum(Fields!ID20.Value WHERE [InOut]="Out")
Many Thanks for any help

Hi LB79,
In Reporting Services, Aggregate functions cannot be used in calculated field expressions, since the data for calculated fields will be based on individual rows not on group basis. As a workaround, we can directly add the expression to a textbox of the tablix
instead of using that calculated field. For detail information, please refer to the following steps:
Right click the text box which you want to insert the calculated field, then click Expression.
In the Expression text box, refer to the following expression:
=sum(iif(Fields!InOut.Value ="In", Fields!ID20.Value,0),"DataSet_name")-sum(iif(Fields!InOut.Value ="Out", Fields!ID20.Value,0),"DataSet_name")
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Using a "Sum" Calculated Field on a "Count" query column?

Here's my query using the Query Report Builder:
SELECT Col1, COUNT(Col1) AS Count_Column
FROM Table
GROUP BY Col1
It generates a report that lists all the values of column
"Col1" and how many times each value was used in Col1
For instance, if Col1 contained the value 'A' 12 times, 'B' 6
times, and 'C' 19 times, the report would generate this:
A - 12
B - 6
C - 19
What i need as a column footer is the total count of all the
values, which in this case 12+6+19=37
I am using a calculated field, setting the data type to
Double, the calcuation to Sum, and the perform calculation on to
'query.Count_Column'. Reset Field When is set to None.
When I run the report, it doubles the last number in the
report's Count column (19) and displays 38 on the page. I tested
this with another column and it doubled the last number in the
report as well.
How can I get it to properly Sum my Count_Column?

Hi,
You need to check note 208366.1 which explains why totals can be blank. Without knowing the detail of you decode function it is hard to say what needs to be changed. Try putting a sum in front of the decode e.g.
sum(decode(period, 'Jan period', value, 0))
Hope that helps,
Rod West
