MergeAndCenterColumnHeaders in Cube Views
Hi, Anyone on Version 8 who's actually tried to use this 'enhancement' feature in Cube Views? We requested this on Ideastream a long time ago with a lot of support. I can see this command is now available in the header format dialog; however, it would appear that the only thing it does is change the header from left justified to center view. There does not seem to be a way to actually 'merge' column headers, despite the fact that it's called "MergeAndCenter". Even the system documentation appears to confirm this behavior. Someone please tell me I'm missing something here and it actually is possible to merge column headers, because we really really wanted this feature. Thanks
Loop base members with parent results
Hi! Wondering if it possible to build a report book that loops through a list of members, but aggregates results for a parent? If this is possible, how would you setup your loop? Can't seem to get it to work! Example: report results show the total for BIP 1226, and output the same results in a separate report for B1226, B1344, B1489 and B1490 (ideally with these base entity names in the header).
Report Book - Loop with a XFBR string
We are looking to turn some of our existing cube views into report books to loop through entities. Right now we use an XFBR string (referencing Brapi.Workflow.Metadata.GetParent) instead of a parameter to determine the entity. Is it possible to create a report that loops through the entities with the XFBR string or would we have to duplicate the cube views and use a parameter instead?Version 8 formatting issue with Books/Cube Views produced in Excel?
Just checking to see if anyone else has been experiencing the following issue with Version 8. We are currently testing the upgrade from 7.x to version 8 and have run into a huge formatting issue with our books that are produced to Excel and sent out to management via postal service. The source cube views for a batch use the same column template. We have Excel column width formatting set up for each of the columns (but consistently on each column). When the cube views are run and exported to Excel, the column width is not being recognized in most of the columns. I have tried direct formatting, I have tried with a literal parameter and getting the same results no matter what. I don't see where I can attach the workbook itself but am attaching a screen capture sample . In this case text wrap is set to False and column widths are set to 100. Note the results. Oddly, in like the first book, some of the sheets ARE recognizing the column width. I'm just wondering if anyone has experienced this and has found a workaround or determined why this is happening.How to suppress blank pages in a PDF book
Originally posted by Mark Williams I have created a PDF book that loops over a large group of entities and has a page based on a cube view for each entity. Around 10%-15% of the pages are blank. Is there an easy way to have the book skip pages for entities with no data?
