I have written open formula in Pentaho Report Designer 5.0.1 as:
=SINGLEVALUEQUERY("SELECT name FROM income_product where order_no=1";)
Rather than writing a query on data set and call from SINGLEVALUEQUERY() I want the string value from the above query.
PRD doesn't complain about the above formula as syntax error; it just returns null/nothing. What (if anything) is wrong in that formula?
I want to write that formula to generate dynamic column name for a report having order number 1 or greater. Is there any other way to make the column name dynamic for a report?
By "Dynamic column name", I mean making different organization have unique income_product_order.
If I just assign the order_no of income_product it automatically gets income_product_name as the column name for all organizations.
Did you set up your connection correctly? try adding a query over that connection and paste that query there. Does it return any data?
This is a good blog post on the subject: https://www.on-reporting.com/blog/using-queries-in-formulas-in-pentaho/
You can enable the "Display the index columns (...)" option under Settings. It'll allow you to reference columns either by name or by index (column0, column1, etc.)

I have an AX query dataset that I'm trying to use to generate an SSRS report. I want to the user to be able to enter 2 parameters (Date and ProjectId) and have the SSRS report return a table based on the query using the parameters inputted by the user. Can't write any code so it needs to be purely graphical.
You can simply add your parameters to query as query ranges.
In the AOT, click Queries, and locate the query that you want to define a range for.
Expand the query, click Data Sources, and then expand a data source.
Right-click Ranges, and then click New Range.
Right-click the new range, click Properties, and then select a field in the Field property list.
Type an expression in the Value property to specify which records are retrieved.
here it's a helpful link for creating queries with ranges:

Hi for my ssrs report In dynamics crm I require that when the report is ran against a certain record, the records passes the record id so that only the relevant results are displayed.
How is this possible ? Steps provided will be great also
Reports are created using SQL.
Run against campaign entity
SSRS reports for CRM have special parameters that enable this for you. To filter by selected records (or the current record you have open) you can utilise a hidden parameter called "CRM_Filtered[Entity]" where entity is the relevant entity you are linking the report to.
In your case, i.e. for the campaign entity, this hidden parameter will be called CRM_FilteredCampaign. For a SQL report this will be a text parameter and will be set to something like this (set by CRM when you run the report)
select campaign0.* from FilteredCampaign as "campaign0"
I do not have a report to hand to check exactly what the SQL will contain, so it might not be exact. But you get the idea. There are several ways to embed this in your report, but you could do so in a rudimentary fashion like this in a dataset:
declare #sql as nVarchar(max)
set #sql = 'SELECT c.campaignid FROM (' + #CRM_FilteredCampaign + ') as c'
exec(#sql)
Expanding on this, i.e. rather than executing text SQL in your main dataset, you can instead simplify the usage by creating a dataset/parameter combo based off the text. In effect, convert the SQL text to a list of values instead.
So add the above SQL to its own DataSet (for this example called DS_FilteredCampaign).
Once you have created DS_FilteredCampaign make sure you click on the Refresh Fields button. Type in the following instead of <null> for the parameter value:
select c.* from FilteredCampaign as c
Once that comes back click on Ok to save the DataSet.
Next, create another hidden text parameter (e.g. Int_FilteredCampaign) and tell it to get its default value from a DataSet (not its available values, its default value). Point the values at DS_FilteredCampaign, and you should be able to select campaignid as its value field. This in effect makes the parameter an array of Ids you can reference in your main DataSet
Now it's much more usable as you can reference it in your SQL something like this in your main DataSet:
select c.*
from FilteredCampaign c
inner join ActivityPointer ap on ...
inner join FilteredAccount a on ...
where c.campaignid in (#Int_FilteredCampaign)
The important piece being where c.campaignid in (#Int_FilteredCampaign)
Summary Steps:
You have a main DataSet called something like dsMain
Create a new parameter called CRM_FiltetedCampaign
Create a DataSet (DS_FilteredCampaign) that executes the SQL passed into CRM_FilteredCampaign
Refresh Fields on the data set to get the campaignid field
Create a text parameter (Int_FilteredCampaign) that retrieves its default value using the new dataset (DS_FilteredCampaign) using campaignid for the value
Reference this new parameter in you dsMain dataset
I've got two date fields from two tables and I'm trying to show receipts of POs in line with work order consumption sorted chronologically.
Is there any way to sort two date fields together?
For instance:
1/1/14 work order date
1/5/14 work order date
1/7/14 PO receipt date
1/9/14 work order date
1/20/14 work order date
The two fields are 'duedate' from table 'porel' and 'reqdate' from table 'jobmtl'
Usually the simplest solution in such cases is to perform the ordering at the server side (e.g. using SQL Server stored procedure, Access query, etc.), and then use the stored procedure or query as the source for the data.
An alternative that I read about is to create global variables in the report, assign your dates values to these variables using 'WhilePrintingRecords;' in formula fields, and using these variables that then does the actual reporting for you.
Slightly complicated.
Another solution which I am not sure if applies to you is :
Click on the main menu > Report > Record Sort Expert
Select your date field in the box on the left and add it to the box on the right
Check the Ascending checkbox and click Ok
Let us know how it goes.
you should create a formula saying
if (table1.duedate = null) then
{table2.duedate}
else
{table1.duedate}
Then sort on this formula. Check the syntax yourself.
I'm am getting irritated with iReports. Problem is that I have a data set returning data for multiple customers and I want to use the "Group Expression" against the customer ID and have the report lay out the Detail Tabs per customer.
I'm finding that, seeming randomly, where there is more that one data row for a customer iReports will generate two or more groupings (Sometimes it does what I expect and group all the customer data together), the field IDing the customer is the same and doesn't change.
Has anyone seen this before? To be honest I can't believe it is actually a bug, but something I've missed. Just much searching as yet to find a suitable result.
I think this is a data sorting problem.
The quote from iReport Ultimate Guide:
JasperReports groups records by evaluating the group expression. Every
time the expression's value changes, a new group instance is created.
The engine does not perform any record sorting (if not explicitly
requested), so when we define groups we should always take care of the
records sorting. That is, if we want to group a set of addresses by
country, the records we select for the report should already by
ordered by country. It is simple to sort data when using an SQL query
by using the ORDER BY clause. When this is not possible (that is, when
obtaining the records from an XML document), we can request that
JasperReports sort the data for us. This can be done using the sort
options available in the query window
You can sort data in these ways:
in case using of Database jdbc connection datasource type you can add ORDER BY customerId clause to the report's query, where customerId - column name of field with customer id
in case using of File csv connection or something like this you can organize data sorting by adding sortField property for field to the report's template (jrxml file):
<jasperReport ...>
...
<field name="customerId" class="java.lang.String"/>
<sortField name="customerId"/>
SQL Statement has ORDER BY?
iReport group is grouped by customer_id?
I created an element with an input value of type "Day" , when i write a formula i get this error.
Any idea what's wrong?
APP-FF-33232:
EATC_EXTRA_DAYS_ENTRY_EFFECTIVE_DATE_ENTRY_VALUE has null or not found allowed, but no
default set specified.
Cause: If a Database Item has
null allowed, or not found allowed,
then the item must also specify a
default set to be used to provide
default values in the event of these
occurring. The item named has one of
these conditions allowed, but the
default set column in the
FF_DATABASE_ITEMS table is null.
Action: Please refer to your
local support representative.

I'm not an expert in Oracle Apps (to say the least) but the error message is fairly clear. You - or someone - have written a Fast Formula which references a database column EATC_EXTRA_DAYS_ENTRY_EFFECTIVE_DATE_ENTRY_VALUE. Apparently this column can be nullable, in which case your Formula needs to provide a default value. Something like:
default for EATC_EXTRA_DAYS_ENTRY_EFFECTIVE_DATE_ENTRY_VALUE is 01-JAN-2010
Or perhaps you can use SYSDATE or CURRENT_DATE rather than a fixed value.
Solution to error: You called database item in Fast formula,
you need to initialize the date to specific date
alias EATC_EXTRA_DAYS_ENTRY_EFFECTIVE_DATE_ENTRY_VALUE as day
default for day is 01-jan-2010
