I am working in Webi 4.2 and am new to Business Objects. I have a list of projects that each have tasks (in columns) and the dates (rows) that the tasks were completed on. Not all projects have all the tasks hence the date for those tasks is blank. But I need to display ALL the tasks (column) and leave the missing date as blank. Could someone please help with this?
Project 1
task 1 task 2 task 3 task 4
date date date date
Project 2
task 1 task 2 ------- task 4
date date blank date
Project 3
task 1 ----- task 3 task 4
date blank date date
so in the above example, even when the task 3 does not exist for Project 2, i need to display 'task 3'
any help will be much appreciated!
Create a cross table (i.e. crosstab) with Project as your vertical axis and Task as your horizontal axis. Then create a variable defined as...
=[Task Completion Date]
with the qualification designated as "Measure". Drag it into the field of your crosstab to set it as the body axis.

at the moment I have two tables. I have one table that displays loan summaries.
Loan Client Balance
11 Bob 100000
20 Steven 100000
33 Michael 100000
I need to enhance this table by adding Loan.Notes
Loan Client Balance
11 Bob 50000
2015-05-06 - Bob came into the office and said we should expect late payments
20 Steven 100000
2015-05-06 - Steven came into the office and he will pay this friday

The Notes section has two columns, Date of note and the Note.Subject. May I ask how do I add in the notes section onto the tablix?
First you need to create the query joining Loan with the 'LoanNotes'.
In your main table group by Loan. In the header of that group show Loan #, client and balance.
In the Detail section based on your requirements merge the column and show the Notes Data. In the following case I merged three columns and created a expression as =Fields!NoteDate.Value & " - " & Fields!Subject.Value
Now when you run the report you will get the data as you want.
Optional: In the case where there is no note you will need to write an expression in visibility tab to hide your detail row
=IIF(CountRows("LoanGroup") = 1, True, False)
OR
=CountRows("LoanGroup") = 1
The best approach for this is to combine the tables into one datatable joining on a similar key.
You can join the tables in your dbms by using queries to create a new view. or you could use this DataSet JOIN Helper.
You can then group in your Tablix as you see fit.
Another solution would be to add multiple DataSets within the same report.

I am working on SSRS reporting and want to summarize (sum) the amount field and narrow the output of the report. As you can see on the below table, the data source has a date field which is unique for each row which make it difficult for me to summarize the output. I want the date field only for filtering purpose, I don't want to show the date data in the details of the report. But since the date field is there in the data which is returned by the query, and I am trying to filter the report using date field, I couldn't be able to summarize it (sum the amount field).
Any Idea?
current data set on SSRS returns the following result
id item date amount
1 item 1 1/1/2015 1200
1 item 1 1/2/2015 1200
1 item 1 1/3/2015 1200
1 item 2 1/4/2015 100
1 item 2 1/5/2015 100
1 item 2 1/6/2015 100
My need (when I filter the report with: where date > = 1/1/2015 and date <= 1/6/2015)
id Item Amount
1 item 1 3600
1 item2 300
Since you are summarizing the data in SSRS you just the group level not the detail section.
Create a Group by Item
Delete the detail section by clicking on the tablix.
Put the expression of the textbox =SUM(Fields!Amount.Value)
The other way to handle this scenario is to modify your query and group by in query by the item while adding the Date filter in the where clause.
I have an SSRS report the links a line item subreport to my main report by an order number. When a customer orders 2 line items, 2 order numbers come in with contact info, etc. In the SSRS report, the order number shows up twice and the multiple line items fall below. What I would like is the 1 order number with the line items following.
As I have it now it looks like:
Order# Contact User
1234 J. Smith JS1
LineItem Qty Order Date
1 3 05/15/2015
2 2 05/15/2015
Order# Contact User
1234 J. Smith JS1
LineItem Qty Order Date
1 3 05/15/2015
2 2 05/15/2015
I tried =Fields!LineItem.Value =PREVIOUS(Fields!LineItem.Value) but because the dup isn't directly previous that didn't work.
But I'd like to have just one single result. Any help would be great.
At the bottom of your design screen should be the Row Groups window. Many times, you will already have a group created. If you right click on it and click the properties it should look something like the image below:

I have a database that tracks invoice payment certification. I am trying to build a report that will bring The following info in
Service Line - ABC
Total "unique" records - 2
max age - 3
Min age - 1
Avg of max age - 3
count of records over 14 days - 0
count of records under 14 days - 2
score: records under 14 days/total records - 100%
I am trying to build the report from a query that includes a date range. the important column names are:
Service Line DLN Age in days
ABC 123456 1
DEF 987654 3
ABC 123456 2
DEF 987654 4
ABC 123456 3
The DLN is an identifier to each different invoice number. I entered the data in above that I need it to return as it correlates to the table below.
I totally forgot I asked the question on here and ended up fixing the issue. What I ended up doing is building the report from scratch from the query instead of using the wizard. Then I just free typed the functions into unbound text boxes. I did then use the grouping to separate it the way I needed. Once I realized my mistake and that the solution was so easy I felt kind of dumb.

Based on the previous feedback received,
After creating a Ticket sales database in MS Access. I want to use a single form to Query the price of a particular ticket at a particular month and have the price displayed back in the form in a text field or label.
Below are sample tables and used query
CompanyTable
CompID CompName
A Ann
B Bahn
C Can
KK Seven
- --
TicketTable
TicketCode TicketDes
10 Two people
11 Monthly
12 Weekend
14 Daily
TicketPriceTable
ID TicketCode Price ValidFrom
1 10 $35.50 8/1/2010
2 10 $38.50 8/1/2011
3 11 $20.50 8/1/2010
4 11 $25.00 11/1/2011
5 12 $50.50 12/1/2010
6 12 $60.50 1/1/2011
7 14 $15.50 2/1/2010
8 14 $19.00 3/1/2011
9 10 $40.50 4/1/2012
Used query:
SELECT TicketPriceTable.Price
FROM TicketPriceTable
WHERE (((TicketPriceTable.ValidFrom)=[DATE01]) AND ((TicketPriceTable.TicketCode)=[TCODE01]));
In MS Access, a mini boxes pops up to enter the parameters when running the query. How can I use a single form to enter the parameters for [DATE01] and [TCODE01]. and the price displayed in the same form in a textfield (For further calculations).
Such as 'Month' field equals to input to [DATE01] parameter
'Ticket Code' equals to input for [TCODE01] parameter
Textfield equals to output of the query result (Ticket price)
If possible, I would like to use only the Month and Year in this format MM/YYYY.The day is not necessarry. How can I achieve it in MS Access?
If any question, please don't hesitate to ask
Thanks very much for your time and anticipated feedback.
You can refer to the values in the form fields by using expressions like: [Forms]![NameOfTheForm]![NameOfTheField]
Entering up to 300 different types of tickets
Answer to your comment referring to Accessing data from a ticket database, based on months in MS Access)
You can use Cartesian products to create a lot of records. If you select two tables in a query but do not join them, the result is a Cartesian product, which means that every record from one table is combined with every record from the other.
Let's add a new table called MonthTable
MonthNr MonthName
1 January
2 February
3 March
... ...
Now if you combine this table containing 12 records with your TicketTable containing 4 records, you will get a result containing 48 records
SELECT M.MonthNr, M.MonthName, T.TicketCode, T.TicketDes
FROM MonthTable M, TicketTable T
ORDER BY M.MonthNr, T.TicketCode
You get something like this
MonthNr MonthName TicketCode TicketDes
1 January 10 Two people
1 January 11 Monthly
1 January 12 Weekend
1 January 14 Daily
2 February 10 Two people
2 February 11 Monthly
2 February 12 Weekend
2 February 14 Daily
3 March 10 Two people
3 March 11 Monthly
3 March 12 Weekend
3 March 14 Daily
... ... ... ...
You can also get the price actually valid for a ticket type like this
SELECT TicketCode, Price, ActualPeriod AS ValidFrom
FROM (SELECT TicketCode, MAX(ValidFrom) AS ActualPeriod
FROM TicketPriceTable
WHERE ValidFrom <= Date
GROUP BY TicketCode) X
INNER JOIN TicketPriceTable T
ON X.TicketCode = T.TicketCode AND X.ActualPeriod=T.ValidFrom
The WHERE ValidFrom <= Date is in case that you entered future prices.
Here the subquery selects the actually valid period, i.e. the ValidFrom that applies for each TicketCode. If you find sub-selects a bit confusing, you can also store them as query in Access or as view in MySQL and base a subsequent query on them. This has the advantage that you can create them in the query designer.
Consider not creating all your 300 records physically, but just getting them dynamically from a Cartesian product.
I let you put all the pieces together now.
In Access Forms you can set the RecordSource to be a query, not only a table. This can be either the name of a stored query or a SQL statement. This allows you to have controls bound to different tables through this query.
You can also place subforms on the main form that are bound to other tables than the main form.
You can also display the result of an expression in a TextBox by setting the ControlSource to an expression by starting with an equal sign
=DLookUp("Price", "TicketPriceTable", "TicketCode=" & Me!cboTicketCode.Value)
You can set the Format of a TextBox to MM\/yyyy or use the format function
s = Format$(Now, "MM\/yyyy")
