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

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.

Order by summary column

Can i order a report using a summary column?

Hi Chew,
You can order by a formula column, not a summary column. It is pretty easy to create a formula column to do the same thing as your summary column.
However, you can only set the order of the master group with the formula column, not the detail group. To set the order of a master group with a formula column, you need to set the break order to Asc or Desc. See Builder help on "Break Order" property for more details.

Can any1 help me on this kind of matter

Hi,
add a formula column which returns the value of your original column per default and 0, if your condition is met and use your summary column for this formula coklumn istead of the original column.

Using Page Level Summary Column in Report 6i

Hi Folks,
I'm trying to create a report in which I want a Page level Summary column i.e., the Summary column should reset at each page and should display the sum of a particular field on each page depending upon how many records are displayed on each page. But whenever I choose the Reset Property to Page the following error is displayed" Page level summaries are not supported in the defaulting" and in certain case the summary column displays the sum only on the last page of the report and the rest of the pages do not display the summary column. The database has three tables i.e., master-detail-detail.
Do I need to make some changes in the Data Model or what?
TIA
Hassan

Hi Hassan,
it only works onceWell, this is definitely not expected. Maybe you can try to see after running the report once whether all the values you set in your report (from my last post) remain the the same, or somehow they revert back to their default values.
if I do some formatting of the report... summary also disapperasYou could try placing the page level summary in another frame, below your group repeating frame, with enough gap between them. Also, try setting the value for "max no of records" to some lower value, which makes sure there is space for the summary column on every page.
Another idea for making a page level summary is - you can place the summary BEFORE your group repeating frame, which means the summary will print on top of every page. In this case, you won't even have to worry about setting "max no of records per page" to some particular value. See if this suits your needs.

How to get summary columns in delimited text file

How to get summary columns in delimited text file
I am trying to generate a delimited text file output with delimited_hdr = no.The report is a Group above report with summary columns at the bottom.In the text file the headers are not getting repeated & thats ok.The problem is the summary data is getting repeated for each row of data.Is there a way where i will get all the data & summary data will get displayed only once.I have to import the delimited text file in excel spreadsheet.

Sorry there were a typos :
When I used desformat=DELIMITEDDATA with desttype=FILE, I get error "unknown printer driver DELIMITEDDATA". When you look for help, DELIMITED is not even listed as one of the values for DESTFORMAT. But if you scroll down and look for DELIMITER it says , this works only in conjuction with DESTFORMAT=DELIMITED !!!!!!??!! This is in 9i.
Has this thing worked for anybody ? Can anyone please tell if they were able to suppress the sumary columns or the parent columns of a master-detail data for that matter ?

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,
TL

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?

Edited by: bahchevanov on Sep 29, 2012 2:21 AM

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

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
SALESMAN WARD 1250.00
MARTIN 1250.00

Using The Summary Function in ADG

Hello All,
Please see my code below. Im using the advance data grid to create a summary row. The summary row currenty SUMs up the 'unqiuevists' and 'redemptions' columns and all is working well.
What i want to do is then create a 3rd row called 'conversion rate' this conversion rate is a calculation between the uniquevisits and the redemptions columns. If you review the code at the bottom I have managed to create a custom summary func and that function seems to be working fine (using trace)..
However, I cannot then get the calculated result back into the advance data grid, am i missing something really obvious or is what Im trying to do not possible using the summary row function?
Please try and help, Ive been on this for days!
Thanks

For those who are interested this is the corrected custom summary function -
private function summFunc(cursor:IViewCursor, dataField:String,
                operation:String):Number {
                var totalNewVisits:Number = 0
                var totalNewRedemptions:Number = 0
                var tmpVisits:Number = 0;
                var tmpRedemptions:Number = 0;
                while (!cursor.afterLast)
                    tmpVisits = cursor.current["newvisits"];
                    totalNewVisits += tmpVisits;
                    tmpRedemptions = cursor.current["redemptions"];
                    totalNewRedemptions += tmpRedemptions;
                    cursor.moveNext()
                var conversionrate:Number = 0;
                conversionrate = (totalNewRedemptions / totalNewVisits) * 100
                return conversionrate;

Sorting by summary column

How do I sort my report based on a summary column I have created?

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
SALESMAN WARD 1250.00
MARTIN 1250.00
TURNER 1500.00
ALLEN 1600.00
20 ANALYST SCOTT 3000.00
FORD 3000.00
CLERK SMITH 800.00
ADAMS 1100.00
MANAGER JONES 2975.00
10 CLERK MILLER 1300.00
MANAGER CLARK 2450.00
PRESIDENT KING 5000.00

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
