Using the advanced reporting the same fashion as excel cells

i am going to try my best to describe this as best that i can.
i have a report that is broken down by a few different categroies. first the report is taking the total number of loans that were taken from our indirect channel.  the first breakdown is each individual dealer and there is a total for those.  the
next breakdown is the status and a total for those.  those different statuses would be decisioned and disbursed.  then i have another breakdown within the status of decision which would be LO Approved or LO Rejected.
here is what I am trying to do..... i am trying to do a ratio calculation in another cell for each dealer name. 
the ratios would be to take the total number of applications that have LO Approved divided by the total number of applications for each dealer and the ratio of the total number of applications that were disbursed divided by the total number of applications
that were approved. 
I tried to do a expression using the name in the property box for each cell that the totals are in but the two problems were that not all of the ones that are totaled are approved and when i did try it I get an error message that the field box that
i tried to use was not declared. 
any help would be great.

Hi Ann,
If we want to calculate the total number of applications that were approved, we can refer to the following expression:
=sum(iif(Fields!Status.Value="Approved",Fields!application_amount.Value,0))
Besides, in order to solve the problem more efficiently, could you please post the screenshot about your report design and your dataset with sample data? Then we can make further analysis.
Thanks,
Katherine Xiong

  • BEX Analyzer 7.0 - Use the content of an excel cell as an input value

    Hi all,
    Is it possible to use the content of an excel cell as an input value for a bex variavel?
    Iu2019m using bex analyzer 7.0.
    Thanks in advance,
    Cátia Coelho Silva

    Hi Catia,
    Yes it is possible to import values from exel. But this will gives you "INCORRECT INPUT PARAMATERS"..
    So it is still best to use "Notepad" as your import file type.
    Just copy your input parameters on the notepad then upload it via 'import text file'.
    Please be sure to use Multiple selection type variable.

  • Using the same format like Excel

    Hello everybody,
    I need to make a convention to a Time Stamp which should be interpreted as number in Excel ( see the below picture,  format cell... number) and save the data to txt or excel file. The Point is I can`t save the raw data to excel , first I need to do a conversion as given.
    How can I build this algorithm? and save my chart elements together with their time stamp like:
    x1,y1,z1, time-stamp     ( e.g  100,100,300, 37918,87500  >>> means x=100,y=100,z=300 at 24.10.2003 21:00:00,10)
    x2,y2,z2, time-stamp     (        101,102,301, 37918,87501  >>> means x=101,y=102,z=301 at 24.10.2003 21:00:00,20)
                                            (         105,100,300, 37918,87581  >>> means x=100,y=100,z=300 at 24.10.2003 21:00:01,00)
    ...x1000000,y1000000,z1000000, time-stamp
    p.s: I already found the days which I divided the time passed after 1.1.1904 up to now and divide it by 86400 and round it to next number , this part is done but in excel after the comma is for the time e.g 0,5 means 12:00:00 AM    resp. 0,6  14:24:00 AM  resp. 0,51 means 12:14:24
    p.p.s: x1y1z1 to x10y10z10 is 1 seconds , so each row is 100 ms !
    p.p.p.s: I could send the date and time as sting to the text file but Excel crashes after few hundred thousand alues , so I want to do the conversion first in Labview and then save already converted values in a txt resp. excel file.
    Pls help
    pls see the picture below.

    I think your problem is that you are using a comma has your decimal separator rather than a decimal point ".".
    If you are writing out your various values to a text file and the values are comma delimited, then the commas you are using as a decimal point are being confused as a delimiter rather than being an inherent part of the decimal value. I suggest using the standard of a period as the decimal point (but I'm not sure if Excel would still have a problem if your windows settings are using an international setting of comma).  Perhaps wrapping the text part of your time and date in quotes so Excel will import the date and time as a single entity rather than 2-3 entities because of the comma embedded in it.   But that doesn't explain why Excel would be crashing. 
    It sounds like you are already handling the 1/1/1904 in Labview vs. 1/1/1900 in Excel base date okay as well as seconds in LV vs. days in Excel..
    (By the way, I think 0.5 in Excel is 12:00:00 PM not 12:00:00 AM)
    Which version of Excel are you using?  Most versions of Excel only got to 65,000 + rows.  Only the latest version goes up to 1 million or something like that.  Could that be the source of your crash?
    Edit:  Perhaps one other possibility would be to use another character as a delimiter such as TAB or any other character that doesn't usually show up in data files such as pipe |  or tilde ~

  • Two commands in the report using the same parameter - fail under Java

    I have a report that contains 2 SQL commands.
    Both of these commands use one parameter X of type Number in their 'WHERE' clause.
    When i'm viewing the report in CR 2008, i'm asked for a value of this parameter and all data is filled in the report - OK
    The problem occurs when the same report is printed through Crystal Java Runtime:
    Report is printed without data! - it's empty.
    What we noticed in the debug information thrown by the Crystal libraries is that parameter value is set only in one of these commands:
    Original statement 1:
    select a.something
    from ANM_T a
    where a.anmid = {?PARAMETER01Id}
    Original statement 2:
    SELECT * from ANM_T a
    WHERE  a.anmid={?PARAMETER01Id}
    OUTCOME of Statement 1:
    select a.something
    from ANM_T a
    where a.anmid = 0
    OUTCOME of Statement 2:
    SELECT * from ANM_T a
    WHERE  a.anmid=9825
    In above example we may see that crystal set the value only in the second statement - first one got 0 - i suspect its some default value.
    Parameter in the Java code is set in the right way. In case of using only one statement it works. If we use two separate parameters (whose values are equal ) it also works.
    // we have also the loop over the parameters
    ParameterFieldController paramFieldController =
                    report.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
    paramFieldController.setCurrentValue( "", paramName, paramValue );
    What is strange for me is that Crystal Reports enables to use the same parameter in two commands but if you edit one of them you may change the type of this parameter for a command ( for example from Number to String) but the parameter type in the second command remains unchanged ( it's strange because in my opinion it is the same parameter). In the Field Explorer under the Parameter Fields i still see one parameter of type used in the second command.

    Hello all,
    We have prepared some sample code to illustrate the issue.
    We have modified the sample application (Link: [http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/boc/index?rid=/library/uuid/c07fec3e-3e11-2c10-1991-8c0fb0b82b75]) to that it also changes the parameter value. Parameter is used in two commands saved in report.
    The code changing the parameters value looks like this:
    private static void changeParameters(ReportClientDocument reportClientDoc) throws ReportSDKException {
              DataDefController dataDefController = reportClientDoc.getDataDefController();
            Fields fields = dataDefController.getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
            for( int i = 0; i < fields.size(); i++ ){
                Field field = (Field)fields.getField( i );
                if( field.getKind() == FieldKind.parameterField ){
                            setParameter( ((ParameterField)field).getName(), "9825" , reportClientDoc);          
    private static void setParameter( String paramName, String paramValue, ReportClientDocument document ) throws ReportSDKException {
         ParameterFieldController paramFieldController =
                    document.getDataDefController().getParameterFieldController();
         paramFieldController.setCurrentValue( "", paramName, paramValue );
    We have tried the following codes to change the connection info used in commands:
    Attempt 1
              Tables tables = databaseController.getDatabase().getTables();
              //Set the datasource for all main report tables.
              for (int i = 0; i < tables.size(); i++) {
                   ITable table = tables.getTable(i);
                   //Keep existing name and alias.
                   table.setName(table.getName());
                   table.setAlias(table.getAlias());
                   //Change connection information properties.
                   IConnectionInfo connectionInfo = table.getConnectionInfo();
                   //Set new table connection property attributes.
                   connectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
                   //Set database username and password.
                   //NOTE: Even if these the username and password properties don't change when switching databases, the
                   //database password is *not* saved in the report and must be set at runtime if the database is secured. 
                   connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
                   connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
                   connectionInfo.setKind(ConnectionInfoKind.SQL);
                   table.setConnectionInfo(connectionInfo);
                   //Update old table in the report with the new table.
                   databaseController.setTableLocation(table, tables.getTable(i));
                   //databaseController.setTableLocation(tables.getTable(i), table);
    Attempt 2
             newConnectionInfo.setAttributes(propertyBag);
             connectionInfo.setUserName(DBUSERNAME);
             connectionInfo.setPassword(DBPASSWORD);
             //preserve subreport links
             SubreportController src = doc.getSubreportController();
             Map<String, SubreportLinks> linkMapper = new HashMap<String,SubreportLinks>();
             for(String subreportName : src.getSubreportNames()){
                 linkMapper.put(subreportName,
                     (SubreportLinks) src.getSubreportLinks(subreportName).clone(true));
             //If this connection needed parameters, we would use this field. 
             Fields<IParameterField> pFields = doc.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
             replaceConnectionInfos(doc.getDatabaseController(), newConnectionInfo, pFields);
             IStrings strs = src.getSubreportNames();
             Iterator<String> it = strs.iterator();
             while (it.hasNext()) {
               String name = it.next();
               ISubreportClientDocument subreport = src.getSubreport(name);
               pFields = subreport.getDataDefController().getDataDefinition().getParameterFields();
               replaceConnectionInfos(subreport.getDatabaseController(), newConnectionInfo, pFields);
             //reconnect subreport links since when using replaceConnection links are erased
             for(String subreportName : src.getSubreportNames())
               src.setSubreportLinks(subreportName, linkMapper.get(subreportName));
    private static void replaceConnectionInfos(DatabaseController aDc, IConnectionInfo aNewConnInfo, Fields<IParameterField> aParameterField) throws ReportSDKException {
             ConnectionInfos cis = aDc.getConnectionInfos(null);
             for (IConnectionInfo oldConnInfo : cis)
               aDc.replaceConnection(oldConnInfo, aNewConnInfo, aParameterField, DBOptions._useDefault
                   + DBOptions._doNotVerifyDB);
    In both cases, the observed problem occurred. In one query the parameter was set properly, while on the other it was set to 0 (or empty string in case of string parameters). What is more, no data appeared on the print.
    Do you happen to know the reason of this issue?How can we fix the problem?

  • Creating multiple tab reports using the same query in Web intelligence

    Hi All,
    I have created a Universe on a BW Query which has fields as below
    AGE  Depaatment  Gender  Grade
    25       FIN                M            A
    27       LES               F            A+
    60       SWS            M             A++
    Based on this data i have created a WEbi report which shows all of these data under one tab.
    Now i create a new report tab in the same Webi Document by right cliicking the existing report and going to inset report and saving it.
    Similarly i create two more new report tabs.
    in each of these tabs i want to show data only for the concened departments.ie =1st report contains all the departments.
    2nd report contains only finance data, third contains only Les data  and fourth only SWs Data.
    Is it possible to create this report using the same query?
    Regards,
    Raj.

    You should use report filters, not query filters.
    A query filter will affect the entire document. Every report tab that pulls data from that query will be impacted. If you start with a single report, by default it shows the data from the query. If you duplicate that report tab, then it's still attached to the first query. There are various ways to create report filters (input controls, quick filter, invoking the filter area from the toolbar) and a report filter impacts only blocks on that report tab. You can even create block filters by clicking on the block first, then creating your filter.
    This is a fairly confusing bit for folks that are new to Web Intelligence.

  • BUG REPORT: 2 JTextComponents using the same Document

    When 2 JTextComponents use the same Document they should show the same.
    However when you add them to JTabbedPane to 2 different tabs, one does not show the document correctly, until you resize the window.
    Compile and run the code example to see for yourself.
    If you append "<first message"> and "<second message>" the first tab will show the correct document:
    <first message>
    <second message>
    But if you then switch to the second tab (do not switch to it earlier), you will see:
    <first message><second message>
    <second message>
    Add some more messages to see the effect and then resize the window to see the problem dissappear magically.

    I have an Ipad1 and an Ipad2. The Ipad1 cannot connect to my wifi and indicates the password is incorrect even though I am using the same password for the Ipad2??

    Some things to try first:
    1. Turn Off your iPad. Then turn Off (disconnect power cord for 30 seconds or longer) the wireless router & then back On. Now boot your iPad. Hopefully it will see the WiFi.
    2. Go to Settings>Wi-Fi and turn Off. Then while at Settings>Wi-Fi, turn back On and chose a Network.
    3. Change the channel on your wireless router (Auto or Channel 6 is best). Instructions at http://macintoshhowto.com/advanced/how-to-get-a-good-range-on-your-wireless-netw ork.html
    4. Go into your router security settings and change from WEP to WPA with AES.
    5.  Renew IP Address: (especially if you are droping internet connection)
        •    Launch Settings app
        •    Tap on Wi-Fi
        •    Tap on the blue arrow of the Wi-Fi network that you connect to from the list
        •    In the window that opens, tap on the Renew Lease button

  • OUTLOOK 2010. Does not reply to emails using the same address that received it.

    Hello,
    Since last week our Outlook accounts are not working properly, when users reply a message it does not reply using the same address that received it, it appears the personal account instead.
    We are using exchange accounts, using Outlook 2010  and the accounts affected are automapped to a principal account (.ost).
    We already tried to recreate outlook .ost profile, repair Outlook installation, reinstall Office.
    Can somebody help?
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    We have received many reports as your description since last week. It sounds like the sending behavior in Outlook 2010 has been changed by some Windows/Office update and goes back to the behavior before.
    Before we go any further, I have to mention some of the history for Outlook 2010. In Outlook 2010 without SP1, Mailto’s will use the default/principal account for message when you use Microsoft Outlook 2010 which has multiple accounts delivered to different
    data file. However, in later version (Outlook 2010 SP1/SP2), Outlook doesn’t use the default account set in Account settings for new messages. Instead, it uses the account associated with the mailbox or *.pst file you have in focus.
    Actually, this behavior is controlled by the registry keys. At this point, I suggest we check the following registry entries are exist and set it to the proper value.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\14.0\Outlook\Options\Mail
    DWORD value: NewItemsUseDefaultSendingAccount
    Value type: REG_DWORD: 1 for force, 0 to disable.
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\14.0\outlook\options
    Value Name: ForceAccountSelection
    Value type: REG_DWORD: 1 for force, 0 to disable.
    Close the registry editor and restart Outlook to check if the behavior what you want would come back.
    In addition, our Outlook MVP, Diane Poremsky has written an article with more detail information:
    http://www.slipstick.com/outlook/outlook-2010/multiple-accounts-and-the-default-account/
    By the way, we still cannot figure out which update is the root of the issue, if someone could test it and share the result here, I would appreciate that. Feel free to post back.

  • HT204074 All of our devices have the same apple id (2 iphone 4's & 1 Windows Comp..) How can we seperate them but also allow them to still use the same itunes account?

    I tried to ask a similar question before, however did not understand our issues well enough to even form a comprehensive question and the kind replies.
    I apologize, unfortunately I've yet to resolve our problem.
    All of our devices are under the same Apple ID & password (an IPhone 4s, an IPhone 4, and a Dell Laptop that uses Windows 7.) How in the world can
    we separate them (so we can both use our free 5GB under the iCloud storage that each of our IPhone's offer, but "also" still use the same shared ITunes
    account?
    As it stands right now, my son's phone (iPhone 4) is set up under our Apple ID & pw-which enables him to use the free 5gb's under the iCloud.
    I cannot take advantage of the Free 5gb's iCloud on my IPhone 4s, because it's all "my info." on my son's phone (my email address & pw=what we've always used for our shared ITunes acct.)
    A big fat mess I know, and don't even want to confuse things by asking about these SMTP's...1 thing at a time!
    Not sure if it is still on his phone, however in trying to resolve this issue last time I set him up with a MobileMe address. I believe I entered my info back into his phone because it created a bigger mess!
    Thank you in advance for any suggestions/help! It's taken me some time to gather the patience and courage to ask for help again in resolved this
    issue!

    I don't know if I'm asking this all in a way that can be understood? Thanks ED3K, however that part I do understand (in the link you provided!)
    What I need to know is "how" I can separate or rather create another Apple ID for my son-who is currently using "my Apple ID?" If there is a way to let him keep "all" his info on his phone (eg-contacts, music, app's, etc.) without doing a "reset?') Somehow I need to go into his phone's setting-create a new Apple ID and possibly a new password so he can still use our combined iCloud & Itunes account?
    Also then letting me take back my Apple ID & password, but again allowing us (my son and I) to use the same iCloud & Itunes account? Does that make more sense??? I'm sincerely trying to get this cleared up once and for all----just need guidance from someone who has a true understanding of the whole Apple iCloud/Itunes system!
    Thanks again for "anyone" that can help me!!!

  • Regarding new Reminder app in Mountain Lion:  is there a away to sort reminders by due date in the same fashion you can in the iCloud version of Reminders?

    Regarding new Reminder app in Mountain Lion:  is there a way to sort reminders in due date order in the same fashion as you can in the iCloud version of Reminders?

    So true! I have to agree: "It appears Reminders in 10.8 did not get a whole lot of thought put into it regarding how folks actually use reminders."
    With Mountain Lion, Reminders no longer resembles a task-management (to-do) app in any way. I used to be able to limp along using it for my to-dos (although it never did accommodate this need well). This upgrade has made Reminders completely unusable for task management.
    Once I got over my disappointment, I did some research and decided to try "Things." This application has all the functionality I've been wanting all along. It has a Mac version, an iPhone version, and an iPad version (among others)--and it keeps all devices synched via the Cloud (just not the iCloud ... but who needs the i ?). I wish I'd discovered it years ago. I'm glad now that Mountain Lion put Reminders over the edge; otherwise, I would not have made this discovery.
    "Things" (oddly named though it is) comes close to the old Franklin planner software I used to love and haven't been able to find a substitute for. It can import items from Reminders, and it works with Siri. It's a joy to use, and it does everything I want it to do plus some things I never thought of and will use all the time. I downloaded the free trial version last night and within an hour paid for it with gratitude.

  • How to get Bursting file to use the same template as selected by user

    I have created an XML publisher bursting control file for a standard Oracle report Direct Debit letter.
    The user wants to be able to select from a number of different letter templates which is ok except that the bursting control file is fixed to use one template.
    How can I get the bursting control file to use the same letter template as selected by the user when running the report ?
    I am using XML Publisher 5.6.3 with bursting patch.

    Try these following, which come to my mind now as of now.
    In the bursting file, you can do the filtering and apply different template..
    <xapi:template type="rtf" location="/usr/template1" filter=".//DIRECT_DEBIT[./parameter_or_element='first_template']"></xapi:template>
    <xapi:template type="rtf" location="/usr/template2" filter=".//DIRECT_DEBIT[./parameter_or_element='second_template']"></xapi:template>
    second option..
    you can replace the element from the xml in the bursting control file.
    ${ELEMENT_NAME}
    can be used in the template name i guess..
    <xapi:template type="rtf" locale=""
    location="xdo://AR.${SHORT_NAME}.en.US/?getSource=true" translation="" filter="">
    </xapi:template>
    But in this short name has to be in XML file...
    I haven;t tried it...wil try it wheni get time..

  • TS3988 Can 2 people use the same icloud?

    Need help badly, such a mess! My son is under my Itunes acct-I have an Iphone 4s, he has an Iphone 4. Somehow his phone is on the ICloud with our Apple ID (which is my gmail address) & pw. He also has an @me.com-set up by me trying to seperate our phones (mistake now I know!) Our ICloud Backup Storage is a mess-we use 1 laptop for Itunes and now ICloud--his phone updated & all my contacts went to his phone-he erased my people off his phone b/4 checking with my phone-now ALL my contacts are lost, only his remain on both our phones! Even worse now I cannot text him--I "think" his phone is seeing my phone as his now, if that makes any sense at all! HELP!

    Thank you so much for your answer! Yes, this is my 1st time to the community too, again thank you! Okay, here's the sequence that 'may' help explain; 1st- My son got an Iphone 4 & wanted to buy songs, etc., so I added his phone to my Itunes acct..--he consequently signs on under my email address (my Apple ID) & my PW. No problem then, it had/has listed ex. Mom's Iphone & Son's Iphone (mine is a 4s, don't think that makes a difference- except in telling u that Siri doesn't work properly now either & refers to my son's name now instead of mine!) As far as I can tell, the real problems began with the ICloud settings on our Iphones--meaning the settings on 'where' to back our phone's- ICloud or to the Laptop (both phones back up to the same laptop.) It's so complicated I can hardly explain it, so sorry if I'm bouncing around! I did not mean to or rather it was not an intentional decision to use the same ICloud, however since we share the same comp. and Itunes account, and basically passwords--it somehow happened. I don't know how to undo this mess! Last night I went to ICloud.com & was able to sign on with my son's @me.com user ID & our Itunes PW (aka-Apple ID.) It really didn't do anything except show me Iphone features, ex. Contacts, Ibook, etc.. I did 'not' see a place where I could change any settings, like to possibly change his Apple ID, or pw...that's all I can think of to change? And even with that I'm not sure how to do that...he's 14, a minor--so he has to be under my settings to a degree. Don't mind at all having seperate ID's, but we do share "some" music and app's for example. Is any of this making sense or even partially explaining my problems? Thank you in advance!
