Using "Same As" in a Formulas Row - FR

I am wanting to use Eval(Grid1.[1],[2]) to find the differences between 2 rows which have different Versions and Scenarios. The catch is I want to use expansion, so I think I need to combine "Same As" with a formula. But I can't figure how to put "Same As" in a formula row, or to put the Eval() function in a text row.

I don't think you can make it work that way.
An alternate way to do that will be
Row 1
Meausres X
Row 2
Measures x (do you need this?)
Column A
Scenario A, Version A
Column B
Scenario B, Version B
Column C
[A]-
(I had to add it as code as it is changing the format to bold)
If you go by the Row approach, you'll have to hard code formulas and say
[1(1)]-[3(1)]
[1(2)]-[3(2)]
[1(3)]-[3(3)]
The problem here is you'll have to see what is the max expansion of the row and then add that many number of rows.

Using same tablix column for 2 row groups

Hi. We run 2012 enterprise. My tablix is grouped (for the most part) by hidden primary (values are 5,10,15,20) , secondary and tertiary sort columns. And a couple of visible label items that are aligned left.
Every row's data columns are completely %, $ or numerically formatted depending on a hidden helper field i've snuck into the tablix row group data fields after the tertiary sort.
The primary sort column does equate to a label that I dont show right now. In biz terms that label is actually the highest from a grouping standpoint but isnt being used right now for anything. I left it for last.
As I put the finishing touches on this report, I'd like to display that label ahead of the 4 sections it represents using the same column being occupied by the 1st (leftmost) label that is currently visible. I'd like to center it in that column on
its own row and apply some shading to the cells to its right. And show nothing in those shadded cells. All without changing my dataset if possible.
To complicate things, I'd like to follow each of the 4 sections with a completely shaded row. No data at all but grid lines can show thru shading. Again without changing my dataset. Is there a feature in ssrs that deals with this
kind of visual nuance?

Hi Jeewan,
Try this formula, If I understood your question correctly it will work for you.

Use same selection formula in different subreports

I have got a main report that will have its own selelction formlua, then im planning to have multiple subreports that will use part of the selection formula from the main report in addition to its own selection formula. So i want know if there is way where if I make a change to the main selection formula it reflects in the subreports as well.
For Example
main report:
{ContractsTable.Contract}="123456"
subreport 1
{ContractsTable.Contract}="123456" and
{ContractsTable.Country}="United Kingdom"
subreport 2
{ContractsTable.Contract}="123456" and
{ContractsTable.Region}="East"
What im trying to figure out is that if change the parameter for the {ContractsTable.Contract} from "123456" to "789125" in the main report, i want the change to reflect in the subreports as well.i dont want to be going to each subreport and changing the parameter.
I have tried to work out a solution using shared variables and parameters,but failed miserably.Has anyone git any ideas?

Hi Thomas,
You can the option "Change Sub report Link" and link the 2 subreports with the parameter the mainreport uses.
For Example if Main Report Uses Parameter ?Contract
Then link that with each Sub report Parameters ?Contract1 and ?Contract2
So When you refresh the Main report it only asks for one parameter i.e ?Contract
and all the Sub reports runs according to it.
Thanks,

How can I make an Equation apply to an entire column, but only use the values in the specific rows?

I am working on a research project using Numbers 09 and have columns for values that require me to use formulas using values in other columns. Becuase I am lazy and have 180 rows of data, I would like to find a way to have a formula apply to an entire column so that I don't have to go row by row inputting the formula.
Essentially, I want to be able to have N(X)=F(X)+G(X). Where X is the row number. Is this possible?
The real formula I want to have is (4*(F(X))^2)/G(X)
Thanks!

Place this formula in your chosen column in the first row containing data in columns F and G.
=(4*F^2)/G
Press enter to confirm the entry. The result will appear in the cell.
Click (once) on the cell containing the formula.
Shift Click on the cell in the same column on the last row containing data in F and G to select all cells between. .
Go Insert > Fill > Fill down.
Done.

Barry

Effective date for a Formulation row

Hi,
our customer manage in JDE the effective date for each formulation row.
I.e.: In a particular formulation a particular salt is valid from 1-gen-2013 to 1-feb-2013.
In the same formulation another salt is valid from 2-feb-2013 to 1-mar-2013.
Is there a way to handle this also in PLM4P? Are there other customer that have the same formula management?
I hope my question is clear.
Thanks and regards.
Stefano.

Hi Stefano,
have you thought about using the Alternate Input Items to achieve this scenario? you can put description to clarify that the particular salt only available in certain amount of time. Hope this will be helpful.
Thanks,
Jessie

Use same table twice in subform

Hi,
i´ve created a form like this
subformA -> positioned
--subformB -> flowed
table
header
body row
Everything is working fine and a I´m able to see the expected data.
But when my table includes more than 10 rows it destroys the layout of my page.
My idea:
Create a second subform with same table data and place it right beside it. And using FormCalc to show data from row 11 to end.
But only the first subform is filled. There is no data in second subform (FormCalc code is not implemented).
It seems, that I can´t use same tabele twice.
Any ideas?
Regards
Andy

Hi Andy,
Have both the subforms as flowed and page breaked, it should work.
As per as having 2 tables techically i believe its not possible.reason behind.
When you do data binding for 1st table and say multiple rows, at runtime data is iterated and displayed in the 1st table.
when it reaches to the 2nd table the pointer on the table data source is already eof i.e., last record so it will not display it again.
to acheive this on form load of the 2nd table you need to initialize and iterate through the data source again.
I have never tested this scenario but read it in some adobe fourms.
Check it and let me know, if its still not working i can design a sample form with this scenario for you.
Cheers,
Sai

Formula Row/Col Custom Heading not appearing on the Grid Cell in FR Studio

I'm building reports using Financial Reporting Studio Software.
When i insert the formula row/column and give a custon heading, it is not reflecting on the GRID. The cell still shows blank.
What should i do ? is this a bug?

Which version of EPM you have is it 11.1.2 or 11.1.2.1 don't see fR studio > about it will show 11.1.2 if it is 11.1.2.1 then try 11.1.2.1.128 patch.
because there is bug 14617522 - CUSTOM HEADINGS FOR THE ROWS BELOW THE TEMPLATE DISAPPEARS
Infact try with latest 11.1.2.1 patch that is 133.

Use of array in multiple formulas

I need to set up a array that I will use in multiple formulas.
Can I create it as a global or shared value in one formula, set the values of the array and then use that array in another formula. I don't want to have to reset all the values in the array each time I need to use it.
Do I have to specify "WhilePrintingRecords"? Also do I have to include the formula that sets up the array on the report.
Thanks
Russ

Hi Russell,
We can use array to create an ordered list and we can use it in other formulas. We can create them global or shared to use in the same report or in the sub report. You can use "WhilePrintingRecordsu2019 only if you want to push the execution of the formula in the last pass of execution otherwise it is not necessay.
To get details about its use open crystal reports help under help menu and type in array in index tab.
Hope this helps,

Using same bind variable multiple times in Dynamic sql

Hi;
I have a query which uses same variable multiple times, is there a way I could use only one time that variable and it will take multiple times.
Query is;
execute immediate 'SELECT count(*) FROM x WHERE MONTH_ID = :VOMNTH_ID
UNION
SELECT count(*) FROM Y WHERE MONTH_ID = :VOMNTH_ID
union
SELECT count(*) FROM z WHERE MONTH_ID = :VOMNTH_ID ' using month1,month1,month1
What I want Just supply month1 only once.
Your help is appreciated.
VKM

the way suggested by Nigel worksI'm not sure what you intend to use the resultset for but remember that UNION will remove duplicates from the result set and could possibly sort it too. Even if that were not the case (for example if you used UNION ALL) Oracle does not specifically guarantee the order of resultsets.
If you are expecting the first row to contain the first count (and so on) then you might not get the answer you are expecting.

Cost of using subquery vs using same table twice in query

Hi all,
In a current project, I was asked by my supervisor what is the cost difference between the following two methods. First method is using a subquery to get the name field from table2. A subquery is needed because it requires the field sa_id from table1. The second method is using table2 again under a different alias to obtain table2.name. The two table2 are not self-joined. The outcome of these two queries are the same.
Using subquery:
select a.sa_id R1, b.other_field R2,
(select b.name from b
where b.b_id = a.sa_id) R3
from table1 a, table2 b
where ...Using same table twice (table2 under 2 different aliases)
select a.sa_id R1, b.other_field R2, c.name R3
from table1 a, table2 b, table2 c
where
c.b_id = a.sa_id,
and ....Can anyone tell me which version is better and why? (or under what circumstances, which version is better). And what are the costs involved? Many thanks.

Can anyone tell me which version is better and why? (or under what circumstances, which version is better). And what are the costs involved? Many thanks.In theory, if you use the scalar "subquery" approach, the correlated subquery needs to be executed for each row of your result set. Depending on how efficient the subquery is performed this could require significant resources, since you have that recursive SQL that needs to be executed for each row.
The "join" approach needs to read the table only twice, may be it can even use an indexed access path. So in theory the join approach should perform better in most cases.
Now the Oracle runtime engine (since Version 8) introduces a feature called "filter optimization" that also applies to correlated scalar subqueries. Basically it works like an in-memory hash table that caches the (hashed) input values to the (deterministic) correlated subquery and the corresponding output values. The number of entries of the hash table is fixed until 9i (256 entries) whereas in 10g it is controlled by a internal parameter that determines the size of the table (and therefore can hold different number of entries depending on the size of each element).
If the input value of the next row corresponds to the input value of the previous row then this optimization returns immediately the corresponding output value without any further action. If the input value can be found in the hash table, the corresponding output value is returned, otherwise execute the query and keep the result combination and eventually attempt to store this new combination in the hash table, but if a hash collision occurs the combination will be discarded.
So the effectiveness of this clever optimization largely depends on three different factors: The order of the input values (because as long as the input value doesn't change the corresponding output value will be returned immediately without any further action required), the number of distinct input values and finally the rate of hash collisions that might occur when attempting to store a combination in the in-memory hash table.
In summary unfortunately you can't really tell how good this optimization is going to work at runtime and therefore can't be properly reflected in the execution plan.
You need to test both approaches individually because in the optimal case the optimization of the scalar subquery will be superior to the join approach, but it could also well be the other around, depending on the factors mentioned.

#error in formula row of the form sum([1])/2

Greetings!
I have a necessity to use formula row in some forms to get an aggregated value of rows above, sometimes i have to use sum([1])/2 and this results me into a problem: in cells where formula is not valid (all values in specific column are blanks) it shows #error instead of values.
Question is, how to avoid that? like in excel for example =IF(A1="";"";A1/2)
Thanks in advance.

Version is 11g
I've found 2 ways how to avoid #errors, not elegant, but working properly.
#error shows in formula cells if the LAST argument of function returns #error and others are #missing
1st way) You can use expression of the from 0 + sum([1])/2 and it would return "0" in formula cell
2nd way) You can use an expression of the from sum([1])/2 + sum([2]). NOTE that sum([2]) + sum([1])/2 would return an error if sum([2]) returns a #missing value, if swap arguments formula would return #missing value and it would give us an empty cell
IF you do not have any other rows, which summary would give you #missing, here is a trick sum([1])/2 + sum([1]) - sum([1]), first sum returns an #error (#missing/2), second returns #missing, third returns #missing and you will have #missing in formula cell as result
Question about formula, i need to sum row[1] values of [C:E] columns, is there any way to indiate a range like that in sum() function?

Financial Reporting Question - Formula row Issue

Hello,
I have a financial reporting question and would like to have your inputs in order to achieve what I am trying to do.
I have a report with two grids – grid 1 & grid 2. And there is a formula row in grid 2 that is “change between the two years” worth of data. The year and period combination is in the page of the grids.
Formula row (in grid 2) = ((Grid1.[b,6]) - [b,6]) / [b,6]
The issue is when I change the Page selection in Grid 1 the formula in grid 2 doesn’t get updated values unless and until I make a change in the grid 2 Page selection too. If I don’t make any changes in the page selection in grid 2 it keeps the data (looks like it is still considering the previously retrieved/calculated values) as it is without any update.
How can I make the formula row in grid 2 dynamic so that it gets updated no matter what combination of page selection I make in either grid 1 or grid 2 or even if I just change something in grid 1 and nothing in grid 2?
Please let me know your inputs. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Krrish
Edited by: Krrish on Dec 3, 2012 7:45 AM

Page POV will be specific to the grid.Why can't you try to have the POV at the report level.In the HTML view of the report,the report will give you a Drop Down to select POV for all Grids.Select All Grids option and then set the POV which will be same for both the grids (which you want) and all your formulas will work.

Is variable offsets can be used for characteristics, text and formulas?

hi all,
can anyone let me know whether variable offsets can be used for characteristics, text and formulas.
if so cany one send me examples of using offsets to my email id [email protected]
regds
hari

You use offsets on dates (0CALMONTH, 0FISCYEAR, 0DAT and so on) and of course the corresponding texts.
If you have 0CALMONTH in your query and you want to do the same thing not only for the current month but for the past twelve months, they you just minus 1, 2....11,12 for each selections, and at the same time you can create text variable for the description of each month.
thanks.

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him mine. Want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address.

Help! I have a new iPhone 5s. My husband just lost his 4s, so I want to give him my 4s. We want to use same Apple ID so we both have access to itunes/apps purchases. Want to separate contacts, messages, mail, etc. I cannot change iCloud address on 4s iPhone. Also, when I tried to change iMessage I got a message that if I deleted my id (which seemed to be the only way to get my husband's I'd there), I would not be able to receive iMessages on any device.
Would someone kindly tell me how to set up th 4s for my husband so that we can keep our info separate? It would be most appreciated! Thanks!!

Hey Fagen!
You will want to see the following article for guidance on achieving the result you wish to achieve:
What to do before selling or giving away your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5661
I would just follow the instructions from this article to give your unused 4s to your spouse. Since you have already started using your 5s, you will still be receiving iMessages on that phone and will have no need to receive them on a device that has been replaced. Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,

I have an ipod touch already linked to computer, i want to add another using same email details. i have set up new ipod and it has excatly same music etc as 1st ipod how can i use 1 account but 2 differnt ipods? many thanks.

i have an ipod touch linked to laptop, i now want to add another ipod touch how do i do it using same email etc, but dont want the same apps etc as the first ipod. as it is now i have exactly the same stuff on both ipods. please help.

It's a snap. Each device has its own name. If iTunes does not assign unique names for the two iPods, change one of the names yourself. You can see both my iPad and my iPod simultaneously on my iTunes because I sync wirelessly.
Simply configure the sync characteristics for each device separately. The iTunes software will know the one with which it's communicating.
