Not able to remove the duplicate detail section. Tried everything from section expert as well. Also, tried using suppress down. But no luck.
Tried using Format Field to use the option of 'Suppress down if duplicated' which didn't work.
Due to this, I am getting multiple entries. Where, I use the function of SUM for the entry in the detail section, which is later connected to a formula for calculating tax(which is coming $102 instead of $51)

report example
i have a report that displays client contact details, but annoyingly for each different contact type it displays the results on a separate line! Can anyone advise if it possible to show the results on one line using an expression or some sort of filter, not using SQL.
as you can see from the image Miss S has both a mobile (MBL) and telephone (TEL) number but they show on different rows, if in my program i were to add an email address then it would add a third line, is it possible to flatten the results down to one row?
regards
You'll need to remove the Contact Type column from the tablix as this won't be valid once you put all the contact details on the same row.
Once this is removed, you will then need to edit the row group (under the main design window) and group by the first 5 columns only. There may already be grouping set, if so check that contact type is not in the group by list, if it is remove it.
Alternative
After saying all this, I can't help but think this report would be a whole lot easier, assuming the data was structured correctly (it may already be), to use a matrix control. That way all this and the answer to your previous question (asked recently) would be automatic. I won't go into detail but if you are interested, create a new question and show the output from your dataset query, the query code itself and the desired output. optionally, accept this answer ! :)
I'm trying to concatenate a particular record into one field to avoid multiple rows for the record. The issue is that a drive may contain multiple shifts in which each shift may be assigned a different vehicle.
Screenshot below shows what is happening:
Both records show the same drive, but the two shifts. I'd like to get the vehicles column to concatenate all vehicles into one field (Vehicles).
My attempt at an expression is:
=Fields!ShortDesc.Value & "," & Fields!ShortDesc.Value
Which obviously isn't working. Any suggestions on what to do to get this working correctly?
Easy solution would be to concat in database layer. See following question and answer. If you need to use SSRS solution, answer is running value function, an example here.
I'm trying to replicate a report from old Oracle Discoverer to OBIEE.
The issue is that when I had the "pivot table prompts" to the OBIEE analysis. I'm left with duplicates instead of unique values in the drop down field. Can anyone explain how I can keep this from occurring? This only happens when I add three or more attributes/columns to the "pivot table prompts" section. This worked in Oracle Discoverer….
Be sure, for the physical connection you have defined, that you have checked the below option:
Also, I know there was a bug around this sort of functionality occurring if the column properties were set to repeat, but that is not a common thing people do, and is probably not your scenario, but it is worth a look: Bug 13147411 : 11G PROMPT IS DISPLAYING REPEATING VALUES WHEN ITEM PROPERTIES SET TO REPEAT
As mentioned by rmoff, incorrect keys can often lead to this issue. As he said, you can check the nqquery.log to see the physical SQL, or enter SET VARIABLE LOGLEVEL=4; in the SQL prefix on the advanced tab, then run your report again. This will generate a log in the admin pane of the tool that you can check easily.
The dropdown list is built from the dimension you have defined, so if your key is incorrect you'll get duplicates. Check the physical SQL in nqquery.log if in doubt to see what SQL OBIEE is generating that returns the duplicates, and make sure you have defined your logical dimension correctly.
The issue was resolved by moving "Repeat" to "Suppress" for the individual columns that I was prompting on in the pivot!
We did this a lot throughout my department because we use the exports for further manipulation rather than using OBIEE only for high level overview and summation. Each row must hold the value in order to filter, so the "Repeat" functionality is often selected.
Thanks for the help/answer!!!
I'm creating my first report for CRM 2011 using SQL Server Business Intelligence Development Studio and i've managed to do a decent amount but as I move into the more complex parts i'm becoming stuck, and I was wondering if someone would be able to help me with a few questions I have:
I'm using fetchXml to get the data from CRM for some accounts that the report is for, I need to include some data from a child entity but can't include them in the same way that I can for a parent entity to accounts. So for this I'm assuming I need to use a separate fetch query, but how do I pass the ID of the account the report is looking at into the second fetch query as a parameter?
Once I've got the names of all the child items with the fetchXml, whats the easiest way to display them all in a numbered list?
EDIT: For 1 and 2 I found that I can use a subreport with the child data in it. Using a list item I can show all in a bulleted list and I can pass the parameter through from the main report to the subreport
I'm listing the account's address on the report but since they might or might not have the lines 2 and 3 fields completed i'm unsure of how to display it without either missing off some of the address or leaving big gaps. I've tried creating different text boxes with the different combinations of line 1, 2 and 3 and then make only one visible with the use of expressions but the iif statement always returns false. Is there an easier way to do this?
EDIT: I've found out how to do this using a number of different text boxes containing the different combinations and hiding them using the visibility rule. What was initially confusing though is that the rule is for if the box should be hidden, rather than if it should be shown
When I add a field onto the report it always has a "First()" statement on it. Is this required or will it limit my report in any way?
EDIT: This doesn't seem to have an effect on the report as the record to run it against is always selected beforehand, so the First() statement doesn't restrict any data
If anyone could help me with any of these questions at all then that would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks
I've found the answers to my questions, i've put them in the original post.
I'm having a little trouble with the form filter in Access 2007. I'm using the listview in a few forms and the user needs to be able to filter there.
For testing purposes I made a query, which is just based on one table. If I want to set the first filter, it looks like that:
I choose a value and if I want to set another filter (on a different field obviously), there aren't values available to choose from.
This seems to happen only if I use a query (doesn't matter if I use every field, or just a few, based on one table or multiple linked tables). I can of course use the number filter and enter a value manually.
I have another database, where I can use filters when and wherever I want, regardless whether it is a query or a table - I have a list with values to choose from everytime. This means I messed something somewhere up but I have absolutely no clue where.
I'm using Access 2007 (FE/BE), if you need any further details, just ask. Any advice where to start looking is very appreciated!
Well, after playing around for a long while, I figured out what the problem is.
The form recordsource needs to be a query - no sql code, no "select * from query", just the name of a query. Anything else leads to the fact that you are limited in using the filters. I'm not sure if this is a bug or if there is a reason behind this, but that's the way it works in access 2007 - at least for me.
Before I was dynamically adding conditions to my queries which led to a recordsource like "select * from qDeliveries where location = 1". To accomplish this I now just create a temporary query which is the form recordsource instead of just using the sql code.
Hope this helps anyone... :)
Instead of using a query, try this:
File >> Options
Current Database
Scroll down to Filter lookup options
Check ODBC Fields
Close and re-open the file. That should solve the issue.
Create a Separate query and assign to that form. instead of create query within the form. Your problem might get resolved. I did the same way it's working fine for me.
