Selectively Format Groups with Multiple Columns

I have a bit of an obscure task I've been trying to hammer out to no avail. I've searched quite a bit but can't seem to find anyone else who has attempted this. I have two group by statements, one is a category and the other is a rank. What I'm trying to do is organize the report so that there are category rows and below each category row is a set of columns for each rank with their associated values as such:
category1
rank1     rank2     rank3     rank4
value1   value1    value1   value1
value2   value2    value2   value2
category2
rank1     rank2     rank3
value1   value1    value1
value2   value2    value2
I've tried using details>Section Expert>>Layout>Format Groups with multiple column. Unfortunately, this applies to both groups putting the categories into columns instead of rows, making a mess. Does anyone know of a way to selectively put groups into columns and ensure alignment? In the above example the user would be able to compare rank values from multiple categories since they all line up. Any help with this would be very much appreciated.

Hi,
Have you tried using a crosstab? Give this a shot:
1) Group the report on Category
2) Create a new group header section. Group Header b
3) Place a crosstab in this section
4) The columns would be the Rank field, I'm not sure about what you would like to show in the rows
5) The summarized field would be the Value field ofcourse
Let me know how this goes.

GROUP BY with multiple columns.

I have little query about GROUP BY clause.
Sometimes we will give multiple column names in GROUP BY .If it behaves in the same way as ORDER BY (multiple columns) i would love to have an example where I can use GROUP BY multiple columns. Anyways howsoever it behaves it will be really appreciated if anyone can explain a scenario where GROUP BY with multiple columns can be used.
I know about the usage of aggregate functions with GROUP BY but using only one column.
Thanks..!!!

Hi,
Group by is used for grouping of same records. check this bellow scenario
SELECT registrationid, dateofbirth, age FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22;
22     1/23/1975     54
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66SELECT registrationid, sum(age) FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22 GROUP BY registrationid;
22     384SELECT registrationid, dateofbirth, sum(age) FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22 GROUP BY registrationid, dateofbirth ;

Format with multiple column

I am working a report that has had the details section format with multiple columns selected. I want to change the report and remove the check box, but it is grayed out. How can I get the report details section back to default without the detail size constraints?

CA Forum: General
Bearing in mind that I'm a relative newbie to the report writing/Crystal world...the only thing I can think of is that maybe the report was written using an older version of Crystal and this option wasn't available. Another possibility, if it's a sub-report, you might try making a copy of the sub-report saving it with the same name, deleting the old sub-report, replacing it with the copy you made. I know that has worked for me when I've had problems with the re-import when opening is greyed out.

Creating Select List with multiple columns

I want to create a select list with multiple columns. I followed the demo application model described in the by Denes Kubicek (Currently my reference for APEX !!)
The code is as follows:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION getcrops(p_cropid IN NUMBER)
RETURN VARCHAR2
IS
v_cropid VARCHAR2 (400);
v_fcode VARCHAR2 (400);
v_product VARCHAR2 (400);
v_var VARCHAR2 (400);
v_fname VARCHAR2 (400);
v_acres VARCHAR2 (400);
v_style_start VARCHAR2 (400);
v_style_end VARCHAR2 (400);
v_return VARCHAR2 (400);
BEGIN
FOR c IN (select "CROP"."CROPID" as "CROP ID",
     "CROP"."FIELDCODE" as "FIELD CODE",
     "CARROTPRODUCTLIST"."CARROTPRODUCTNAME" as "PRODUCT",
     "VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYNAME" as "VARIETY",
     "FIELD"."FIELDNAME" as "FIELD NAME",
     "CROP"."SIZEINACRES" as "ACRES"
from     "FIELD" "FIELD",
     "CARROTPRODUCTLIST" "CARROTPRODUCTLIST",
     "VARIETYLIST" "VARIETYLIST",
     "CROP" "CROP"
where "CROP"."CARROTPRODUCTTYPE"="CARROTPRODUCTLIST"."CARROTPRODUCTID"
and     "CROP"."VARIETYID"="VARIETYLIST"."VARIETYLISTID"
and     "CROP"."FIELDID"="FIELD"."FIELDID")
LOOP
v_cropid := TO_CHAR (c.'CROP ID', 'FML999G999G999G999G990');
v_fcode := c.'FIELD CODE';
v_product := c.'PRODUCT';
v_var := c.'VARIETY';
v_fname :=c.'FIELD NAME';
v_acres :=c.'ACRES';
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c."CROP ID")
LOOP
v_cropid := v_cropid || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'FIELD CODE')
LOOP
v_fcode := v_fcode || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'PRODUCT')
LOOP
v_product := v_product || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'VARIETY')
LOOP
v_var := v_var || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'FIELD NAME')
LOOP
v_fname := v_fname || ' ';
END LOOP;
FOR i IN 1 .. 12 - LENGTH (c.'ACRES')
LOOP
v_acres := v_acres || ' ';
END LOOP;
v_return := v_cropid || v_fcode || v_product || v_var || v_fname || v_acres;
END LOOP;
RETURN v_return;
END;
I created this anonymous Pl/SQL function at a application level ..Then I followed up to create a select list with a function inside. However I could not create select list with the command suggested in the demo which is
select getcrops(cropid) d, cropid r from crop;
APEX (2.1) returns a error message. What am I missing ? Should the function be called from somewhere else after creating a regular select list..? Where the functions (Pl/SQL) should be ideally stored for application level access..? and for across application level access ? How can I check the function works good. Help is appreciated.

Still really one column.
If they need to be independent then you've got to have three selection lists.

Repeat "Detail a" section when using "Format with Multiple Columns" layout

I am using Crystal Reports for .NET (VS 2008) and I would like to get the "Detail a" section to repeat at top of a second column containing additional data in "Detail b" section. Please see below for example, specifically "Detail a (2)". Any tips or help much appreciated.
Detail a (1)_____Detail a (2)
Detail b (1-1)___Detail b (2-3)
Detail b (1-2)___Detail b (2-4)
--Detail b (1-3)___Detail a (3)
Detail a (2)______--Detail b (3-1)
--Detail b (2-1)
--Detail b (2-2)
Thx, Scott

the format with multiple columns i dont believe will show you the value 2x, but allows you to display the values across instead of down.
i think you may want to use a sub report

ADF BC : "Attributes selected in query with no column type found! ..."

hi
Using JDeveloper 10.1.3.3.0, I have this "Selected in Query" attribute, "Never" updatable, in my Entity Object.
The Entity Object is based on the SCOTT.EMP table and the attribute, called "BonusInfo", is defined using the expression " '[bonus info ' || (SAL * 2) || ']' ".
see http://verveja.footsteps.be/~verveja/files/oracle/NoColumnTypeFoundApp-v0.01.zip
While creating this Entity Object, I got a "Business Components" dialog that says:
"Column type is not specified for this attribute. Specifying column-type and precision results in better query performance at runtime. Do you wish to set column type to VARCHAR2(255)?"
I clicked "Yes".
I also created two View Objects based on this Entity Object.
In the "Create View Object" wizard "Step 4 of 7: Attribute Settings" I got a "Business Components" diaglog that says:
"Attributes selected in query with no column type found! Specifying column-type and precision results in better query performance at runtime. Do you wish to set default column type for these attributes?"
I clicked "Yes".
Testing the query in "Step 5 of 7: SQL Statement" showed "Query is valid.".
question:
Why do I keep getting the message ...
"Attributes selected in query with no column type found! Specifying column-type and precision results in better query performance at runtime. Do you wish to set default column type for these attributes?"
... in the View Object Editor if I click on different attributes?
(I don't get such a message the first time I click on an attribute after opening the View Object Editor, but after that it keeps popping up each time I click on a different attribute, no matter what I answer "Yes", "No" or "Cancel".)
many thanks
Jan Vervecken

Jan,
BC needs the column type and precision so that we can allocate the correct JDBC buffer size; otherwise we would just allocate 2k per string.

Attributes selected in query with no column type found! (solved)

Dear JHeadstart Team,
In the view object Editor I have two entity based attributes attrib1 and attrib2
both with type Number. Both have aliases with type number(9,0)
If attrib1 is null I want to have the value of attrib2.
In the expression box I put: nvl(attrib1,attrib2)
When I press the ok button I get the next error message.
"Attributes selected in query with no column type found!
Specifying column-type and precision results in better query performance at runtime.
Do you wish to set default column type for these attributes? "
When I say ok I get the next message:
"An error occurred. Unable to apply all the wizard changes.
Column type cannot be changed for Entity based attribute.
Exception: oracle.jbo.dt.objects.JboExeption."
The details button serves no extra information.
Since both the attributes have the same type I thought the nvl commando should work.
But what does the "no column type found" sentence mean?
regards,
Marcel.

Thanks Jan,
You've put me on the right track.
I found out that this is only possible in the entity object class.
So I have to check my limited java skills.

List with multiple column

hello all ,
how to create a list with multiple columns ? can anyone share some examples or code snippets

What I would usually do is create a movieclip/sprite that contains a row with every column in it (each column being a textfield). Then pile up the rows one atop the other (using Actionscript) as they are populated with data.

For some reason, my compression option is grayed out under "File" menu, and when I select a folder with multiple files, or multiple documents, and try to right-click or tap the mousepad with two fingers, I do not get a "compress" option available. Help.

I don't know why, but when I select a folder with multiple docs contained within it, or multiple files, the Compress option is grayed out under the File menu, nor is it available when I right-click. Please help.

Yes it is, but I have the same problem of the option does not appear with "right click" (I'm actually control-clicking), and COMPRESS is grayed out under the file menu. I'd like to fix it.
Hmm. After finding the Archive Utility,* I tried archiving the folder. It came out as .cpgz, ugh. Found there was a preference to make .zip the default. It worked!
And now…the menus are not grayed out. ?!?! OK.'
Hope this helps someone.
*You cannot find this via search, apparently it is a hidden file, you have to click from the root drive through to /System/Library/CoreServices (Thanks for the file path Alberto!)

Treeview with multiple columns

I googled alot about creating a treeview with multiple columns similar to a listview in details mode with the added benefit of nodes and roots. I got some answers but I was wondering if visual 2008 itself has such an option, and if not what is my best
choice?
Debra has a question

I just wanted to know if in the visual studio 2008 itself there is an option to have a multi column treeview or a listview with nodes...
Debra has a question
Hi Debra,
>> a multi column treeview
As far as I know, the standard Microsoft .NET TreeView does not support columns, and if you want a tree control that supports columns, you could turn to the link from Tony:
#TreeView with Columns
http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/23746/TreeView-with-Columns
>>a listview with nodes
I made a research about “a listview with nodes” and found no results. I checked the ListView Class and did not find information about nodes.

PIVOT with multiple columns to add and multiple levels of grouping

Hi friends,
I got a table with the columns in the form of:
CRITERIA_A,
CRITERIA_B,
CRITERIA_C,
AMOUNT_A,
AMOUNT_B,
AMOUNT_C,
AMOUNT_D
Any way to design a pivot to present the table reflecting:
Sums of Amount_A, Amount_B, Amount_C, Amount_D
For Rows reflecting grouping levels on:
Criteria_B, Criteria_C
and Columns breakup for:
Criteria_A?
An example like:
Criteria_A1
Criteria_A2
Criteria_A3
Criteria_A4
Row Labels
Sum of Amount_A
Sum of Amount_B
Sum of Amount_C
Sum of Amount_D
Sum of Amount_A
Sum of Amount_B
Sum of Amount_C
Sum of Amount_D
Sum of Amount_A
Sum of Amount_B
Sum of Amount_C
Sum of Amount_D
Sum of Amount_A

Sounds like this to me if in T-SQL query
(best guess based on what you posted)
SELECT
CRITERIA_B,
CRITERIA_C,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A1' THEN AMOUNT_A ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A1_AMOUNT_A,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A1' THEN AMOUNT_B ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A1_AMOUNT_B,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A1' THEN AMOUNT_C ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A1_AMOUNT_C,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A2' THEN AMOUNT_A ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A2_AMOUNT_A,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A2' THEN AMOUNT_B ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A2_AMOUNT_B,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_A2' THEN AMOUNT_C ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_A2_AMOUNT_C,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_AN' THEN AMOUNT_A ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_AN_AMOUNT_A,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_AN' THEN AMOUNT_B ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_AN_AMOUNT_B,
SUM(CASE WHEN CRITERIA_A = 'Critera_AN' THEN AMOUNT_C ELSE 0 END) AS CRITERIA_AN_AMOUNT_C,
FROM Table
GROUP BY CRITERIA_B,
CRITERIA_C
to make it dynamic see
http://beyondrelational.com/modules/2/blogs/70/posts/10791/dynamic-crosstab-with-multiple-pivot-columns.aspx
However it would be much easier to build this in SSRS reports using matrix if you can use it.
In that case just bring data as is
then add a matrix to report
Add column grouping on Criteria A and Row grouping on Criteria B and then Criteria C .
In data portion add three columns with expressions as
=SUM(Fields!Amount_A.Value)
=SUM(Fields!Amount_B.Value)
=SUM(Fields!Amount_C.Value)
then you will get exact format what you're asking for

Format with Multiple columns

Hi Crystal gurus.
I'm having the report which consist of more that 500 rows , so therefore I decided to implement "Format with multiple rows" feature, which is available in Section Expert area. Everything is just fine, I'm getting multiple columns, but how to suppress the header which is not needed for the last page, because the records are only in the first column.
I can easily copy/paste the header as such, but I do not know how to suppress it. Tried to search here, but found nothing.
Many thanks in advance Mcmerphy

If it truely is the last page of the report, you could try a conditional suppression where pagenumber = totalpagecount. But this would always suppress the header selected for suppression, and if you should get another column on the last page, it will still suppress.

Convert multiple rows to one row with multiple columns

Hi
i have a table Match_1 with 2 columns 'Source' and 'target'.One source can have multiple targets and that number could be anything
CREATE TABLE Match_1
Source CHAR(1),
Target CHAR(1)
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'B');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'C');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'D');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('A', 'E');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'X');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'Y');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'X');
INSERT INTO Match_1 VALUES ('V', 'W');
COMMIT;
i need to get my output in the below format
Source     target 1     target 2     target 3     target 4          target n
A     B          C          D
V     X          Y          Z          W
Could you please provide me the required SQL.
REgards
-Learnsequel

What is your database version (4 digit) ? also my example won't be generate columns for your information:
it will produce a result like that :
select source, listagg(target,',') within group (order by target)
from match_1
group by source;
A     B,C,D,E
V     W,X,X,Yps: in previos post, I wrote "with" word wrong in sql.
