Hide empty row in crosstab [message #637746]

Hi,

I need to filter out lines where the values of a measure are null for each value of column dimensions.

See the following scotch for illustration:

          | d1:1        | d1:2        |
          | d2:1 | d2:2 | d2:1 | d2:2 |
d3:1 | m1 | 1    | 2    | null | 4    |
     | m2 | null | null | null | null |
     | m3 | null | null | 1    | 2    |
d3:2 | m1 | 1    | 2    | 3    | 4    |
     | m2 | 1    | 2    | 3    | 4    |
     | m3 | null | null | null | null |

Lines 2 and 6 should be hides.

There is a hide attribute for measures, but it is unconditional.

What is the right way for this.

Thanks,
Marco

Just saw that there is a field for an expression.

So the question is what is the right expression to check if all values are null.

Can you not just uncheck the show empty rows check box on the Empty
Rows/columns tab of the properties editor?

Hi Jason,

I don't see such a tab. Are you sure such a tab exists for measures of a cross tab?

BTW: I don't need a GUI access to such a property access via DEAPI would be just fine.

Select the crosstab report item in the canvas and it should be in the
properties view.

I do not find the option mentioned by Jason.

I added HideRules to the Label of the Header and the DataItem of the AggregationCell. Now for empty rows the header is hidden and the height of the row is reduced to a few pixels. But it is still there.

So again my question: How can I simply omit empty rows (measures with no values in any column dimension)?

Thanks,
Marco

Jason,

Thank you for the screen shot. It helped me to find the option.

But the options are disabled by default. So it shouldn't show empty rows anyway. But it does.

What does empty row mean? I mean that my DataSet returns null for a certain measures in every of row of a certain row dimension no matter what the value of the column dimension is.

So if I set a HideRule for this measure with the function COUNT on the group of the row dimension then no values and no label are shown because the count of null values is 0.

I also tried to add a Filter with the same rule (actually the opposite rule (!= 0)). Anyway the result is a row with no text an a height of a few pixels.

What else does empty row mean for the crosstab?

What else can I do to get completely rid of empty rows?

Thanks,
Marco

Empty rows generally mean no value for a specific dimension
intersection. The issue may be that the cube does have a value from the
dataset but it happens to be null.

I am not certain why this approach did not work:

What else than null should a scripted dataset return for a missing value?

I should have been clearer. empty rows/cols are for dimensions. For
example if I nest my row by two dimensions if no data exist for a
particular value of the inner dimension that row will not show unless
you use the check box. You can look at the attached report and click
the checkbox to see what I mean. To hide the entire row based on the
value of the measure use the visibility expression (or possibly a
filter). I have used a visibility expression in the attached example.
I place the visibility expression on both the dimension data elements
and the measure data element.

Jason,

Thanks for the sample. It seems to suffer from the same short coming. The line for Value5 is empty but still there if not omitted based on dimension value. Beside that I do not understand why it stops at this line when show empty rows is activated. Would you explain?

Coming back to my requirement which should not be that uncommon. Imagine you want to report on various scenarios over a period. Each scenario is characterized by some attributes. Columns dimension is the time, row dimension is scenario, the measures are the attributes.

Everything fine, but let's assume some attributes are not relevant or even not defined for certain scenarios. So the measure is empty and I want to omit it for that scenario.

How can I omit that rows? Is there a workaround to hide the full rows. I can hide the text in the row, which reduce the height of the row. But the borders are still there.

Can I hide it completely for all output types with more conditional formatting?

Can you suggest a different way to structure the

Marco,

Up the data settings in the Window->preferences->Report
Design->Preview-Data. Can you try to preview it in the WebViewer. Its
on the toolbar "View Report In Web Viewer". When I preview it the row
for Value5 does not show. You can also hide the cells by putting a
crosstab script on the crosstab similar to this:

function onCreateCell( cellInst, reportContext )
{
if( cellInst.getCellID() == 313 || cellInst.getCellID() == 316 ||
cellInst.getCellID() == 309){

if( cellInst.getDataValue("dim_Group2/dim") == null){
cellInst.getStyle().setDisplay("none");
}
}
}

I do notice some inconsistencies between the preview tab and the Web Viewer.

Jason,

You are right the issues with the missing lines in your example is just in the preview tab, not when viewed in browser.

I want to try your suggested script. But the Crosstab does not have a property onCreateCell.

I placed

this.getStyle().setDisplay("none");

into the onCreate property of Data, AggregationCell, Header, and the Cell of Header. But this does only have the same insufficient effect as a HideRule.

Thx
Marco

Hi Jason,

The onCreateCell handle seems to be the right way. (or maybe onCreateRow?)

But I am missing the necessary data there to decide whether to hide or not. All I need is in the DesignHandle, and this actually is a property of it, but it is private without a getter.

How can I access the DesignHandle for the cellInst?

Thanks,
Marco

Marco,

What property are you trying to get? If its a design time property you
should be able to just use a visibility expression.

I would to access like e.g. the AggregateOnRow to check generically whether this row is empty. Then I would not need to prepare a separate expression at design time but could do it dynamically in the onCreateCell script.

And even more basic I need to get the measure to which a cell belongs.

My intention in detail:
get the measure name to identify the visibility expression to check.

I'd prefer to omit a visibility expression and put it directly in the script. So how could if something like:

if ((COUNT <measureName> ON RowDimension/RowDimensionGroup) == 0)
    setDisplay("none");

Marco,
Not sure this will help but:

While in the onCreate script of the crosstab you can check values for
the dimension or measures by doing one of two things.
You can call cellInst.getDataValue, which lets you get the value of any
of the fields on the binding tab for the crosstab at the time the cell
is created. For example:
if( cellInst.getDataValue("PRODUCTLINE") == "Planes" ){
In this example PRODUCTLINE has the expression in the binding tab
dimension["ProductGroup"]["PRODUCTLINE"]
You can also call
if( reportContext.evaluate("measure['amount']") == null ){
to get the value
You can check if you are in a header cell or aggregation cell by just
calling
if( cellInst.getCellType() == "header" )
or
if( cellInst.getCellType() == "aggregation")
or every cell has an id at design time so you can check it to
if( cellInst.getCellID() == 24){

To hide it you may try
cellInst.getStyel().display = "none"

Jason,

This is already understood. But it does not help me to identify to which measure the current cell belongs.

Maybe we can do it the other way around. Can I get from context to which measureView a cell with the ID of cellInst.getCellID() belongs?

Marco,

Do you mean a specific value of a measure or a design time measure?
For example If I have a sum and a count measure in my crosstab design,
they are contained within a cell with an id that I know and can use at
runtime to determine which measure the cell is for.

Jason,

The crosstab and the script is generated, and the design might then be changed by the user.

So I cannot rely on the assumption that the IDs are still the same at run-time.

Beside that, checking static IDs makes the script much more complicated because it has to check for each measure despite all measures should be treated the same except of the expression.

You could always name the data item that holds the measure and then in
the crosstab script do something like:

var measrueoneid =
reportContext.getDesignHandle().findElement("mymeasure1").getID();

Then use the id in the script.

Hi Jason,

I achieved to dynamically hide rows with setDisplay("none").

The rows are completely gone in a html report on Linux. But in pdf there are still ugly and irritating artifacts left.

The same artifacts are show in html under windows, just narrower.

I have prepared small demo output in html and pdf. If you could tell me how, I would like to send it to you or publicize it.

Regards,
Marco
