Alt row color in grouped output

I've always used the following code to alternate row colors
in a table of CFOUTPUT:
<tr bgcolor="#IIf(query.currentRow Mod 2, DE('cfcfcf'),
DE('eeeeee'))#">
However, when I use this code in a table with grouped output,
I get unpredictable row colors. For example, the first two rows
will be color1, the next two color2, then the next few rows will
alternate like I want.
I'm attaching the code I'm currently working on.
Any ideas how to get the alt row colors to display properly?
Thanks in advance...

Sorry, my initial search to find the answer came up nill.
When I searched again I found the answer which I'm pasting below.
It worked great.
===========================================================================
when you use the GROUP attribute of CFOUTPUT, your data is no
longer being output in the same order in which it was retrieved.
the CURRENTROW variable is no longer in chronological order (you're
displaying the first grouped element, then 1-n members of that
group, then repeating).
you'd need to set an iterating variable.
<cfset myRowCountVar = 0 />
<cfoutput query="q_remnts_f3" group="req_Cat">
<cfset myRowCountVar = myRowCountVar + 1 />
(now use 'myRowCountVar' to key off of to determine the
background color rather than currentrow)

GROUP attribute ruins alternate row coloring

I had the alternate row colors working, but then when I added
the "GROUP" attribute to my
<cfoutput> tag, it's not working any more. More like
random row coloring!
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

How To Restrict Number Of Rows For Multiple Group In Report Output

Hi ,
I have a requirement to restrict number of rows in report output.I have three different group , if i use same no of rows to restrict then output is as expected but if i want Deduction group should have 7 rows , earning should have 5 rows and Tax group have 3 rows in report output then XML tag is not working.
Below is the XML tag i am using -
First i have declare the variable to restrict the rows -
<xsl:variable name="lpp" select="number(7)"/>
<xsl:variable name="lpp1" select="number(5)"/>
<xsl:variable name="lpp2" select="number(3)"/>
For Each -
<?for-each:PAYSLIP?>
<xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="DedLines" select=".//AC_DEDUCTIONS"/>
<xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="EarLines" select=".//AC_EARNINGS[ELEMENT_CLASSIFICATION!='Taxable Benefits']"/>
<xsl:variable xdofo:ctx="incontext" name="EarTaxLines" select=".//AC_EARNINGS[ELEMENT_CLASSIFICATION='Taxable Benefits']>
<?for-each:$DedLines?><?if:(position()-1) mod $lpp=0?> <xsl:variable name="start" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="position()"/>
<?if:(position()-1) mod $lpp1=0?><xsl:variable name="start1" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="position()"/
<?if:(position()-1) mod $lpp2=0?><xsl:variable name="start2" xdofo:ctx="incontext" select="position()"/>
Report output is tabular form (one page has two column - Earning and Deduction ) . Tax group comes below earning group.
Deduction Group -
<?for-each-group:$DedLines;./REPORTING_NAME?><?if:position()>=$start and position()<$start+$lpp?>
<?REPORTING_NAME?>
<?end if?><?end for-each-group?>
Earning Group -
<?for-each-group:$EarLines;./REPORTING_NAME?><?if:position()>=$start1 and position()<$start1+$lpp1?>
<?REPORTING_NAME?>
<?end if?><?end for-each-group?>
Tax Group -
<?for-each-group:$EarTaxLines;./REPORTING_NAME?><?if:position()>=$start2 and position()<$start2+$lpp2?>
<?REPORTING_NAME?>
<?end if?><?end for-each-group?>
Please let me know in case additional detail is require.
Thanks in Advance.
Thanks,
Harsh

variable lpp2 is declare to restrict EarTaxLines -
<xsl:variable name="lpp2" select="number(2)"/>
This will help to restrict the no of rows on one page , if we have more then two tax benefits line then layout will roll over to continuation page.
As part of report output my expectation is if i restrict Earning , Deduction and Tax benefits to same no of line for example - variable lpp ,lpp1 and lpp2 have same value "number(2)" , we can see the layout is continue on next page (restrict every group can have max two lines) .This is the reason we have 4 header grid , deduction and Tax Benefit lines are rolled over to continuation page .But if we restrict different value for each variable then continuation page layout is missing .
When we tried for <xsl:variable name="lpp2" select="number(3)"/> value continuation page layout is not getting generate for both employee number .

Want robust solution for alternating row color, resetting every group

I would like a solution for displaying an alternating row color for my detail rows that resets every group, so that row 1 is always gray.
Our Crystal designer provided this code to me:
@rowcnt formula, suppressed, placed in Detail row:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
rowcnt := rowcnt + 1;
@resetrowcnt, suppressed, placed in Group row:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
rowcnt := 0;
Formatting formula, placed in Color in Detail > Section Expert:
Shared numbervar rowcnt;
if Remainder(rowcnt, 2) <> 0 then
color(241,241,241)
else
crWhite
This was working fine for me.
However, it is suddenly not working in one of my reports.
The report does happen to have two groups (rowcount.png).
When the report is run, all rows are colored (rowcount02.png).
This report was previously working fine! I'm not sure what changed.
In any case... surely there must be standard code to do this very standard formatting.
I would be very grateful if someone could post some robust code to accomplish the following:
REPORT DATA IN DETAIL ROW, ALTERNATE ROW BANDING:
- Data in Detail row displays alternating row colors
- Odd rows are always shaded, even rows not
- Banding resets every group / does not continue pattern from previous group
REPORT DATA IN GROUP ROW, ALTERNATE ROW BANDING:
Some of our reports place row data in a group row (just the way it happened).
If you could also modify your code in this case.
Thank you!

Hi Abhilash/Sastry, since I'm going to switch to Sastry's formulas, could you please confirm correctness of the following. I can't actually run this report, I can only provide it to our London office, bit of a lag for testing.
@resetrowcnt:
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar cnt:=0;
@rowcnt:
Whileprintingrecords;
if {HedgeDetails.StrategyID} <> previous({HedgeDetails.StrategyID}) and
{HedgeDetails.DealID} <> previous({HedgeDetails.DealID}) then
Numbervar cnt:=cnt+1;
Details section (Suppress):
not(OnFirstRecord) and
{HedgeDetails.StrategyID}=previous({HedgeDetails.StrategyID}) and
{HedgeDetails.DealID}=previous({HedgeDetails.DealID})
Please note: Suppress checkbox is selected AND the above formula is entered.
Details section (Color):
Whileprintingrecords;
Numbervar cnt;
if cnt mod 2 <> 0 Then color(241,241,241) else crwhite

Row Color Help

Hello,
I have a .RTF template that I am modifying from a co-worker that I am not getting much assistance on. My problem is when Previewing the .RTF Template using PDF my row colors do not appear different for each row. The template is fine when not grouping but I think the grouping of the report causes this problem. Can anyone take a look at my template and/or shead any knowledge on this matter? Thanks ahead of time.

I'm sorry, I had that backwards (which I included the code example and should have clued me in on NOT versus ONLY, i.e., alternate row coloring ONLY works in PDF).
3.1.7 Alternate Table Rows Formatting Not Working in HTML, RTF, and Excel Outputs
This issue applies to Versions 10.1.3.3, 10.1.3.3.1, 10.1.3.3.2, 10.1.3.3.3, 10.1.3.4, and 10.1.3.4.1.
The user guide contains the "Row Formatting" topic that describes how to set the background color on alternate rows in a tabular report. This description works for PDF output only. In HTML, RTF, and Excel output formats, the alternate rows do not show the background color. In these output formats, all the rows appear with a white background.
This issue has no workaround.

Re: Is it possible to change row colors on array fields ors

HI Martin!
Yes, it is possible to change row colors on array fields.
I have attached a PEX (tools.pex) which has an object which changes FillColor
and PenColor for Arrays. The PEX has it's own test window, so you can try
various combinations. (There are a few other Objects in the Project which are
not relevant
I'm not sure that you can change colors on individual choices in a scroll list.
I haven't tried playing around with it.
The test window actually changes the color of scroll lists as well.
The object keeps track of which rows have changed color, same with pen color, so
that when you scroll it keeps track of which rows are a different colors.
The pex is self-contained, just import the file and do a test run.
Please let me know if you have any problems.

Is it possible to change row colors on array fields or scroll lists?
I need to create a list field that will allow me to dynamically change the
fillColor and/or penColor attributes of individual rows. (I just want to
highlight the rows, and those seem to be the obvious attributes...) It appears
you can't do that on scroll lists (the elements are list elements, and don't
have those attributes) and I can't figure out how to do it on an array field
either. Any ideas for how to accomplish this?

FreshWebmuse,
Version 2 of iCal has the "Group Calendar" feature. It was released as part of Mac OS X v10.4, and if you really want/need that feature you will have to upgrade to Tiger.

Can you change the color of the output in the console?

When you run your program using NetBeans the color of the output in the console window is black. Is there any way to change the color of the output to say blue?

Hi AJL,
There is no way to color rows of the table control in a SUDialog. You could consider using the ActiveX container control and using the Microsoft ActiveX table control, which might have that functionality. Note though, that then you need to either ensure that control is always on all your client machines or make provisions for it to be installed/registered.

Alternating Row Colors - Interactive Report

Hello All,
I'm hoping someone out there can help me out w/this. :)
I'm a newbie working w/an Interactive Report and want to have alternating row colors as a default w/out losing the IR advantages.
I've tried javascript, but, whenever filters are applied the class gets stripped off.
Has anyone had any luck w/this?
Thanks In Advance

Roel,
I got it working... Adding the onload to the image is pretty awesome, I had to chuckle cause I would've never thought of that.
It wasn't working for me earlier, but, i realized after it was a silly syntax error. :P
Anywho - Check the link below.

I had used a different striping script which was written by a buddy of mine Keith Daulton (Had to throw him props for a hawt script. Works in ie6/7, FF, Chrome & Safari).
I'm 100% sure I'm not the only one who's wanted this done and struggled to get it. So below I'm providing it for those who run into this thread.
<script type="text/javascript">

               for (var j=gridRows.length; j--;) { if (j%2) { gridRows[j].className = "even"; } }

Displaying row color issue...

I have a html table output having 20 rows (fixed).
<% for loop {............%>
<tr>
<td>
Value 1
</td>
<td>
<%= value1 %>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Value 2
</td>
<td>
<%= value2 %>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>
Value 3
</td>
<td>
<%= value3 %>
</td>
</tr>
<% } %>
..............goes until value 20. Instead to hard code each row color in each TR, I want to build some logic to display row color in blue/white alternatively.
Any idea?

Please find the example for the alternate color, this will work not only for fixed table size but also for dynamic table size...

Report Template - Standard, Alternating Row Colors

I'm using APEX 4.1.0 and theme 22 on Oracle 10g.
I have some tabular forms in my application. For 2 of those, row deletions are allowed and I have the usual select box column to manage the row deletions. Also my users like the "Standard, Alternating Row Colors" report template and would like to see the alternating row colors whenever possible. Unfortunately I get the "Error on page." browser error in IE when I check a row selector box using this template. When I use a different report template I don't get this error.
The tabular form functions correctly so this error is harmless, but I would like to know what it is for. I'm sure my users would rather not see that error.
By the way, in Firefox the firebug error count increases and I get the following error in the console:
TypeError: can't convert undefined to object
[Break On This Error]

apex_4_1.min.js (line 18)Because all of the whitespace has been helpfully removed :) it's hard to see which expression is undefined and why.
Any ideas?

Hi Jackie,
There must be some issues the apex_4_1.min.js file, try to reload it. In apex.oracle.com the tabular form with "Standard, Alternating Row Colors" just works fine.

How do I find the index of a row of a group in a presentation?

I am using a BPM Object Presentation for this and the code is in PBL. From a method (triggered by an event) I need to find out the current row, the index within a Group. (In this case I am referring to the Group array widget, not a user group.)
The specific implementation is as follows:
1. Each row of the group has a button named "Edit Topic"
2. The user clicks the button
3. The action for that button calls the method EditTopic()
4. The method EditTopic() needs to know which row it was triggered from.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can retrieve the zero based value of the row in a Group clicked if you add a method inside of the group (make sure it's inside the group and not in the parent BPM Object).
The presentation's property for the push button inside the group has to be designated as an "action" (vs submit, save or cancel). Name the method associated with the push button in the group something like "getLineClicked()".
The method only needs to have this one line of logic:
lineSelected as Int = orderLines.indexOf(this)
This will give you the zero based index of the row in the group they picked.
Hope this helps,
Dan

Getting the first row for each group

Hi Everyone,
I have a query which returns a number of rows, all of which are valid. What I need to do is to get the first row for each group and work with those records.
For example ...
client flight startairport destairport stops
A fl123 LGW BKK 2
A fl124 LHR BKK 5
B fl432 LGW XYZ 7
B fl432 MAN ABC 8
.... etc.
I would need to return one row for Client A and one row for Client B (etc.) but find that I can't use the MIN function because it would return the MIN value for each column (i.e. mix up the rows). I also can use the rownum=1 because this would only return one row rather than one row per group (i.e. per client).
I have been investigating and most postings seem to say that it needs a second query to look up the first row for each grouping. This is a solution which would not really be practical because my query is already quite complex and incorporating duplicate subqueries would just make the whole thing much to cumbersome.
So what I really new is a "MIN by group" or a "TOP by group" or a "ROWNUM=1 by group" function.
Can anyone help me with this? I'm sure that there must be a command to handle this.
Regards and any thanks,

Something like this:
select *
from (
   select table1.*
   row_number() over (partition by col1, col2 order by col3, col4) rn
   from table1
where rn = 1In the "partition by" clause you place what you normally would "group by".
In the "order by" clause you define which will have row_number = 1.
Edit:
PS. The [url http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e17118/functions004.htm#i81407]docs have more examples on using analytical functions ;-)

HOw Do I count and identify the number of groups in a groups output.

I have a query that reads like this..
SELECT s.spec_Sort,s.spec_ID, s.spec_Name, b.bus_Name,
b.bus_ID
FROM (tbl_businesses as b INNER JOIN tbl_SpecBusRel as sb ON
b.bus_ID = sb.specbus_busid) INNER JOIN tbl_specialties as s ON
sb.specbus_specid = s.spec_ID
ORDER BY s.spec_Sort, b.bus_Name
and then I am outputing like this...
<cfoutput query="rsGetSpecialties" group="spec_Name">
<cfif THIS IS WHAT I
NEED)></td><td></cfif>
<h2><a class="specialty" href="javascript;"
onclick="dwfaq_ToggleOMaticDisplay(this,'#spec_ID#');return
document.MM_returnValue">#spec_Name#</a></h2>
<div id="#spec_ID#" style="display:none">
<cfoutput><p><a
href="#request.details#?bus_ID=#bus_ID#">#bus_Name#</a></p></cfoutput>
</div>
</cfoutput>
This displays in this manner...
Specialty
dealer
Specialty
dealer1
dealer2
Etc...
What I am trying to do is find out how many specialties there
are, figure out where the middle is so I can insert a new table
data cell and start a new column.
Basically - two columns with the data divided in half by
specialty NOT by the number of dealers.
I hope that makes sense. Of course I am trying to do it w/ as
little query action as possible. My only solution may be to have
more than one query and the second only finds a list of the
sepcialties that contain the dealers and then find the middle one
and simply say if current specialty = middleSpecialty then start a
new column.
Thanks all,
Chris

Thanks for the replies. I don't need the number of occurances
of each specialties - I simply need to know how many specialties
there are and then split them in half.
This may be the long way around -but it is what I did...
<cfquery name="rsGetSpecialties" >
SELECT s.spec_Sort,s.spec_ID, s.spec_Name, b.bus_Name,
b.bus_ID, b.bus_Pcity, b.bus_PState
FROM (tbl_businesses as b INNER JOIN tbl_SpecBusRel as sb ON
b.bus_ID = sb.specbus_busid) INNER JOIN tbl_specialties as s ON
sb.specbus_specid = s.spec_ID
ORDER BY s.spec_Sort, b.bus_Name
</cfquery>
<cfset specs = valuelist(rsGetSpecialties.spec_ID)>
<cfquery name="rsListSpecialties">
SELECT spec_ID,spec_Name
FROM tbl_specialties
WHERE spec_ID in(#specs#)
ORDER BY spec_Name
</cfquery>
<cfset middle = int(rsListSpecialties.recordcount/2)>
<cfset specs = valuelist(rsListSpecialties.spec_Name)>
<cfset middle = listgetat(#specs#,middle)>
then displayed like this...
<td valign="top" width="50%">
<cfoutput query="rsGetSpecialties" group="spec_Name">
<h2><a class="specialty" href="javascript;"
onclick="dwfaq_ToggleOMaticDisplay(this,'#spec_ID#');return
document.MM_returnValue">#spec_Name#</a></h2>
<div id="#spec_ID#" style="display:none">
<cfoutput><a
href="#request.details#?bus_ID=#bus_ID#">#bus_Name#
(#bus_PCity#, #bus_PState#)</a><br /></cfoutput>
</div>
*****This is the line that does the splitting *****
<cfif spec_Name EQ middle></td><td
valign="top" width="50%"></cfif>
</cfoutput>
</td>
As for removing the extraneous cfoutput --> I thought that
I needed that in order to show the material within the grouped
data. HOw does CF know what data to repeat and what data to not
repeat in a grouped output? I will have to look this one up some
more.
thanks for the help
