Ways to present when there is no data

Dear Gurus,
I had posted 2 earlier messages relating to this one.
But now, this one is slightly different.
I can display row values even when no data is available by new selection. The page should be always, for example, 10 rows long regardless of data availability per characteristic combination.
But is this the only way (restrict or by new selection in rows)?
Many thanks,
Suzie

You have to use restricted characteristics...I'm not sure if you know the process so here goes:
Using KF: 0Amount. Char 0Customer where I want to see something like this regardless of data available:
.................Amount
Customer 1
Customer 2
Customer 3
Easy way to do this:
In BEx:
- Drag your KF 0Amount to the column area
- Right click "Rows" in bex. Select "New Structure"
- Right click the structure that should have appeared in the row area. Select "New Selection"
- Drag 0Customer into the right area of the screen  (under description).
- Give this new selection a name called "Customer 1"
- Right click the char in the right window and select "Restrict". Restict by value '1'.
- Click "OK".
- Repeat the steps for 2-3 customer (or whatever you have as your characteristic).
The report should now show the values regardlesse of content.
Hope this helps,
Petter

  • Display 'No Data Found' when there is inv data but still there is xml data

    Hi,
    I am converting an rdf to BI publisher. The issue is when there is no detail (inv) but still there is still xml data , due to which the report is getting printed with the skeleton template and blank details(inv).
    I need to avoid printing the report out if there is not inv detail even though there is xml data. or atleast show 'NO DATA FOUND' msg. and print the report output only when there is inv data.
    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Hi Srini,
    Now I am running into another problem. When there is no detail data it displays 'No data found' as expected in the report output. But is there any way to restrict the print option (avoid wasting the paper) to just display 'No data found' in the output but not to print the output only in this case.
    I really appreciate any help!

  • Header Fields are not displayed when there is no data in the report

    Hi,
    I am having this strange situation in my webi report.
    When I refresh my report and when there is no data, column names are not being displayed in my report. All it is showing is two empty rows. When I have data, then report is displaying data along with column headings.
    Please suggest me where I am going wrong.
    Thanks,
    VenMen

    Thanks for the update.
    Can you try this.
    Run the report first time for some data.
    When the report is rendered select the table that is displayed.
    On the left pane side properties tab.
    Expand display and check all the options
    Show rows with empty measures
    show rows with empty dimensions
    Show when empty
    Hope this will help

  • Is there a way to read TCPIP data so that it doesn't hang when there is no data present?

    Hi,
    I've got a loop in my code that uses a TCP read function. My problem is that the loop hangs if there is no data available. What I would like to do is check if there is data available, then do the read otherwise move on to the rest of the code if no data is available and then try again on the next loop.
    Thanks,
    Ryan
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    In addition to using a non-standard timeout, such as 100ms or so, one can also play with the Read Mode input of the TCP Read. Those modes are a bit pesky and not always trivial to understand but they can be useful. Read the documentation to the TCP Read function that explains these modes a bit and then start to make small experiments to verify your understanding of those operations.

  • Stacked bar chart showing zeros when there is no data

    Hi,
    I am developing a stacked bar chart which plots month vs sales of 3 different products.
    I am showing data points and the total sales on chart.  Every thing looks good except the zeros displayed on the chart if there are no sales for a product for a particular month... how to get rid of these zeros ? i mean how to display the value only if there is some data ?
    Thanks

    Sounds like you have a left outer join from your product table to the sales data. Thus product is listed even when no data present.
    Try changing join to Equal

  • Displaying zero values when there was no data

    There are two columns 'A' and 'B' in the report which has some values.IF there was no data in the report,it shows the following system message
    +"No Results+
    +     The specified criteria didn't result in any data. This is often caused by applying filters that are too restrictive or that contain incorrect values. Please check your Request Filters and try again. The filters currently being applied are shown below."+
    My requirement was to shows the zero values instead of this message in the table format and should show the chart at 0 axis.
    Please give me your inputs and help me finding the solution
    Thanks in Advance.

    Because a report with no records will not produce a record "with zeroes," you have to think of another way to let the client know that the report was produced successfully, but simply with no data. We faced this issue with auditing. If no report shows, how does the auditor know that there were no data rather than the report itself not working that day? So what I did is build a "NIL Report." It is a simple report that consists of two columns. The first column is the system date column. The second column is column in which in the fx button (edit formula), I put in a text like "There are no records for this day." The first column serves two purposes: one, to timestamp the report so the user knows what day the 'NIL Report" was generated, and two, to serve as a column because OBI requires at least one column for the report to run.
    I also added a footer to the report which had the name of the original report in the left pane and the run date in the right pane. The Title View also contains the name of the original report. Now when viewed, this report has all the essentials to indicate to the user that 1) the report ran successfully; 2) the title of the original report so the client knows which report is associated with the "NIL Report"; and 3) the date the report was run to timestamp the report.
    So in one of the two sections, in the Section>Properties, you will use the guid. nav. feature of the section to look at the ORIGINAL report, but this section will have the "If request returns nothing" checkbox" checked off. Put the "NIL Report" in this section. When the original report produces no records, this section will display so the client knows that there were no records.
    This is what I mean by a "meaningful report" -- a report that conveys the necessary information to let the user know what is going on. There is no way (that I know) where you can have the original report display "zeroes" when in fact there are no records at all.

  • How do i put a video in my presentation when there is an error code coming up?

    I am trying to place a movie in my presentation but there is a error code coming up saying cant find server

    So, if I set my PRODUCT NAME in the project properties to "Cool App", then should I manually change the following settings in my Info.plist to delete the space:
    Bundle display name: currently set at ${PRODUCT_NAME}
    Bundle indentifier: currently set at ${com.companyname.${PRODUCT_NAME:identifier}
    Bundle name: currently set at ${PRODUCT_NAME}
    Based on what you said, then my product name is automatically being set with spaces when copied to the Bundle display name, identifier and bundle name, which is probably causing the error I suppose.

  • HFM: How to restrict user to generate reports when there is a data load process going on?

    Hi Experts,
    I want to get some idea on how we can restrict one user of generating report when another user is loading the data for the same entity, assuming both the users were at different location and there is no communication between them.
    i am dealing same kind of problem in HFM. we have many users created, some users will be loading the data using FDMEE while some users will be generating the reports. the problem arises when one user is loading the data for a particular entity and at the same time another generates the report for the same entity. this shows wrong data in the reports as the data's were not updated.
    please suggest how we can come out of this problem.
    Thanks in advance for your valuable suggestions.

    I thought for a while that I could solve the problem creating a parameter in the main report and casting the first argument of my subreportprocesssing event handler to LocalReport and setting the parameter using the SetParameters method of the LocalReport
    object indicating when there was data to show or not. But this doesn't worked , the parameter value remains the same when I use it in expressions to change the visibility property of my subreports.

  • Display columns when there is no data to display

    hello,

      There is data subreport  display

    Hi xitum,
    Per my understanding that you want to display the column name and the values in the style you have provided, right?
    I have tested on my local environment and you can achieve this by type the column names on the left of the values field and then add an "Underline" for the values field.
    Details information in steps below for your reference:
    Type the column name"DateKey" on the left of the [DateKey] and then double click the [DateKey] you will open the "PlaceHolder Properties" windows like below:
    Click the Font section and under the "Effect", choose the "Underline" this will add an underline under the values.
    Click the General section in the "PlaceHolder Properties" windows and add the expression like below to make sure if there is no data in the column values there is also display the underline( by default, if there is no data, t he underline will
    not display):
    =IIF(Fields!DateKey.Value="" or Fields!DateKey.Value is nothing,"               ",Fields!DateKey.Value)
    If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

  • How to Suprass a report layout when there is no data

    Hi Community,
    I have a Sql Query which Gives me the list of pre-treatments which doesn't have the corresponding post treatment
    This query sometimes doesn't not return any rows
    At that time is there a way that i can suprass the the whole layout from printing on the report
    i am using oracle 6i Reports
    Please help me out!!!!

    Create a summary column (lets say "CS_TotalRecords") at report level, and set the following properties:
    Function: Count
    Source: column which can not be null (if report displays some data)
    Reset At: Report
    Create a format trigger at most outer frame (the frame you want to hide and all object within that), and write following code:
    BEGIN
    IF NVL(:CS_TotalRecords,0) = 0 THEN
    RETURN (FALSE);
    END IF;
    RETURN (TRUE);
    END;
    Hope this helps.

  • How Do I - Display a group when there is no data for the group?

    I have a report where I'm grouping on a numeric county number. Currently, if there are no records for that county, that report group doesn't display. My users want each county printed even if it has no data.
    The numeric values for county range from 1 - 85. I'm using CR 11.5 and pulling data from a Teradata database.

    Hi. I had already thought of doing an outer join on the county column of the county look up table. The problem is that this transfers the selecting and counting of the targeted data from the SQL statement to the report, specifically most of the formula fields itself. And given that the report is parameter driven, it would make maintenance of the report not so much fun. The solution ( I think, still have to code it) is to take my original inner join query and UNION it to a query selecting only the county column from the county look up table. I just add null valued columns to match the number of columns in the original query. This way I get at least one county record to satisfy the display of each group and only minimally increase the actual number of records the report has to process.
