Has anyone tried dynamic charts (multiple charts based on data available) in SAP Business Objects WebI?
I did try the sections which is available in WebI, However, I need to place charts side-by-side while sections show charts one below other
You can most certainly place charts side-by-side. I created a report based on the eFashion universe returning Year, Quantity sold, and Sales revenue. I have one table displaying the raw data and three side-by-side charts.

I have 2 reports in the WEBI document, for every report, i need to use different SQL
I tried to create another report with different SQL, but it changed the same query to the first report.
Second questions :
I need to display some rows in different colors based on the amount. how to do it.
thanks
When you have more than one question it would be better to post them separately.
1. Multiple Queries
If you want a query with different SQL you need add another query from within the Query Panel.
By default it will be named "Query 2". If you are running a query for the first time WebI will put all of the Result Objects on your report. Otherwise you will need to manually add them to your report.
When I have multiple queries I always change the view at the bottom of the Available Objects pan to "Arranged by Query". Also, if you have the same object name in more than one query WebI will qualify it with the query name.
2. Different Colors Based on Value
You want to do what is referred to as Conditional Formatting. Here is YouTube video on that. The link for that video came from the SAP BusinessObjects Web Intelligence link on the Official Product Tutorials - SAP BusinessObjects BI Suite website. I would recommend you spend some significant time reviewing the information there.
StackOverflow is very focused on code. Your questions are more about how to use Web Intelligence. Those types of question would be a better fit for the BusinessObjects Board.

From the menu bar Analysis -> conditional -> new rule ..
You can create different rule (specify rule condition in it ) and for each rule you can give particular formatting option.

After selecting the column for which u need to apply the rule press FORMATTING Rules and check all the rules you need to apply .Hence you can achieve different color for different value (by assigning different rule )
I've inherited an Access 2007 database with a remit to make it available to our sales reps (10 of them) who work on laptops, which can connect to a central server but they also have a requirement to use the db offline when they are on their travels. I'm not sure how to manage this.
The db is fairly straightforward: 3 tables for customers, prices and products.
Each rep needs to have his own individual customer table, but the prices and products tables are read-only so that they are updated centrally by one person. They are updated maybe half-a dozen times a year.
I though that the simplest way would be to create a copy of the database with all three tables on a central server for each of them, then tell them to download the new copy to their laptops whenever there are any updates.
Is there any way I could automate the process (such as giving them a button on a form to press with some vba coding behind the scenes to do the copy?)
Or is there better way of managing this?
Thanks
Good day,
There has been new stock codes created on our Dynamics AX, I can see there has been transactions on this, but the data is not displayed on the sales cube. I can see the item ID in the list but there are no values.
Please help.
You may need to process or update your cubes. This isn't a programming question though so I'm going to vote close. Here are some resources to help though:

I am using report builder 3.0 (very similar to SQL server reporting services) to create reports for users on an application using SQL server 2012 database.
To set the scene, we have a database with over 1200 tables. We actually only need about 100 of these for reporting purposes. But it is very common that we need to combine fields from multiple tables together to get a common resource of data that my colleagues and I need for our reports.
Eg if I want a view of a customer, I would want to bring in information about the customer from the customer_table, information about his phone details from the Phone table, information about his account(s) from the accounts table and so on. Then I might need another view of the accounts - account type, various balance amounts, opening date, status etc.
What I would love to do is create a "customer view" where we combine all these fields into a single combined virtual table. Then we have an "Accounts view". It would be easier to use, easier to manage etc. Then we use this for all our reports going forwards. And when we need to, we can combine the customer and accounts view to use on a report plus actual tables into one combo-dataset to use on a report.
I am unsure about the right way to do this.
I see I can create a data source. This doesn't seem right as this appears to be what one might do if working off 2 or more databases. We are using just 1 database.
Then there are report models. It seems these are being deprecated and phased out so this doesn't seem a good option.
Finally I see we can create shared datasets. However, this option (as far as I can tell) won't allow me to combine this with another dataset. So using the example above, I won't be able to combine the customer view and the account view with this approach to use for a report to display details about the customer and his/her accounts.
Would appreciate guidance on the best way to achieve what I am trying to do...
Thanks
I can only speak from personal experience, but using the the data source approach has been good for our purposes. We have a single database with 50+ tables in it. This is linked to as a shared data source in the project so is available to all 50+ reports.
We then use Stored Procedures to make the information in the databases available to the reports, each report has it's own Stored Procedure that joins as many tables as required to provide the data for the report. The advantage of using Stored Procedures also allows you to only return rows you are interested in, rather than entire tables.
I'm not certain if this is the kind of answer that you were after, but describes how we solve a similar (smaller) issue.
Good night, sorry for my question but I haven't found too much information about it.
I'm designing some reports to my work (for accounting) and I'm forced to use Crystal Reports with VS2005 however I have a problem because I need to use dynamic information, I have two important views the first one give me general data like: Account ID, Account Name, Description, Opening Balance, Charges, Deposits, Ending Balance, Code Month.
In next query I need to use each Account ID because I'll get its Details (if they have data) and it gives information like: Date, Policy ID, Description, Charges, Deposits, Code Month.
My problem is not get information because the DBA gave me both views, my problem is that I don't know how can I add those views in a Crystal Report and show their information Dynamic. Because first query is going to give all general data and with each value I need show their details (if they have). Maybe the next draw could give you and idea what I'm talking. Thank you very much if any of you have any example (not necessary about my topic, just with two queries) I'll be very happy.

Sorry because I haven't given you any code but I just have those two views and I don't know how to create the dynamic report. I have tried to find information and I couldn't.
one option is to link the views in database expert, If this is not possible then use sub report in crystal report where use 1st view in main report and 2nd view in sub report.
Link the views and use grouping for accounts. Subreports are an option too but the report will be slower
