Report Painter - Display settings of variations

[Former Member]

Hi,

In my report CO, I have a characteristic which is displayed as a variation. It's a set variable, let's says a group of profit centers (a set of multiple single sets). When execute the report, the value list of variation is always expand-all. It's not quite user-friendly.

Do you know how to set the variation as by default collapse-all? I know that we can do it as I saw in some SAP sample reports. I tried various ways but still not found any useful.

Thank you for your quick response!

Hello Huong Le,

you can change the setting on the selection screen of the report - but you have to activate the 'expert mode' first: Environment -> Options -> Expert mode.

As soon as you have this activated, the button 'Variation' will show up where you can choose between 'Explode', 'Single Value' or 'Do not explode'.

Hope this is what you're looking for.

Have a nice day!

Hi Irene Baldassari,

'Explode', 'Single Value' or 'Do not explode' as you suggested apply on value filtering of the set of the variation.

I think I was unclear. I still want to 'Explode' the variation, but in execution time, the variation tree would be collapsed by default. And users will choose a sub-node (of the hierarchy) which they want to see the detail. Currently, the hierarchy expands its whole detail...

Any other suggestion?

Best regards,
