Q11. How can I print report specifications?
A11. Click the Print Specification icon in the top, right corner of the Specification Definition page.
Note The latest version of Adobe Reader is required. For more information, see the System
Requirements topic.
Q12. Why didn't I get any data back in my report?
A12. Most likely, you selected a measurement interval that is not yet available. Refer to the Data
Availability on the Measurement Interval page to find out what data is currently available.
Another possibility is that you made illogical selections when defining the spec, for example, you
select a market break that became effective July 2005 and then select a measurement interval of
April 2004. Check your selections again carefully. See UE Types and Effective Dates in the
Reference section of the online Help under NPM Sample Info for more info.
Q13. How do I know what data is available?
A13. Check the Data Availability tab on the Measurement Interval page or check the Data Delivery
Schedule in Help. NPOWER has data back to 08/27/01 going forward.
Q14. Can I select a measurement interval larger than one quarter?
A14. It is recommended that your measurement interval be limited to one quarter or less. If you choose a
large measurement interval, with a select number of telecasts, your report may be within the
processing limits and run successfully. However, the number of telecasts or dayparts selected,
along with the number of statistics, demographics, and market breaks selected may make the report
too large to process. If this is the case, a message is displayed on the Specification Definition page
when the request is submitted to let you know that your report spec exceeds limitations. You can,
however, schedule the report as a recurring report, resubmit the request, and then combine the
output using PowerPlay .
Q15. I'm trying to add multiple measurement intervals to the Criteria Selection pane, but each one
I add is overwriting the previously added measurement interval. Why?
A15. Only one measurement interval can be selected on a scheduled report. Multiple measurement
intervals are only allowed when running one-time-only (OTO) reports.
Q16. How can I schedule a report based on broadcast weekly data?
A16. Each of the data releases included on the Data Availability can be selected from the drop-down list
in the Schedule Report section of the Measurement Interval page once a recurring interval is
selected. This includes each of the time-shifted viewing types and the Broadcast Weekly data
release.
Q17. Why don't the individual pieces of my combo sum back to the combo total when I include
custom and standard UEs in the combo?
A17. When you include both custom and standard breaks in a combo, UEs are computed and are then
used to create the total - even if standard UEs are available. You should be able to verify by
summing the Daily Installed or Intab counts back to the combo total installed or intab counts.
