Can clicking on column heading sort the column contents instead of drill in

I have a pivot table with data that the client doesn't want to drill into. Instead, they want to be able to click the column heading and have the pivot table re-sort the data in the table based on the data in that column. Is that possible, or are clickable column headings only used for drilling in OBIEE? Thanks.

Madan -
That seems like a feature that should be added to the Pivot Table view if they are going to have it in the Table View. Still, thanks for pointing out the "Enable column sorting in Dashboards" check box in the Table view. I'll see if I can either get this data into the Table view, or at least let the client know the limitations of OBIEE.
Thanks again.
Daniel

How to change the column heading as the column changes

dear memebrs,
Take an example fo the table EMP. I need to create a report whose parameters are the table column names. so depending on the parameter(which is the column name) the report o/p changes.
so i am dynamically selecting the table column names and getting the o/p. The problem is when the column changes the heading of it in the report o/p is not changing.
we have to use format trigger for this, but i am not sure what code should we write in the format trigger of the boiler plate text of the column heading , such that it changes in accordance with the input which is nothing but column name.
for ex: If i choose EMPNO as the parameter then my column heading should become Employee Number and so on.......
your comments are welcomed
regards
sandeep

you can use a formula column of datatype character and of any width needed instead of a boilerplate text for the heading name.
In the formula column you can write code like below
IF :P_COLUMN_NAME = EMPNO THEN
return('Employee Number');
ELSIF :P_COLUMN_NAME = SAL THEN
return('Salary');
END IF;
where P_COLUMN_NAME the name of the column selected dynamically(i.e. the parameter).

How do I sort songs in the iTunes store? You used to be able to click on the column header to sort the column (ie Popularity)?

How do I sort songs in the iTunes store? You used to be able to click on the column header to sort the column (ie Popularity)?

It seems this is a "backwards" upgrade from Apple in their iTunes 11 release....like you, I used to use that function in the iTunes store to sort through and decide which song version to purchase. (For a large returned list of songs...see all...then sort by any of the headers, including Popularity...this functionality is now gone.)
The iPad always suffered from this...was never able to sort on those same column headers with an iPad. It seems, this new iTunes release killed that functionality on the Mac as well.
Just one of the few things that went wrong with number 11!
Better luck next time,

Query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting

I'm getting the following error when I try to include "ORDER BY" in my sql statement :
"Your query can't include an "ORDER BY" clause when having column heading sorting enabled"
I have used other sql statements with "ORDER BY" but this is the first time I have come across this and I don't understand why it's going wrong. Does anyone have a suggestion as to how I could fix it? Here is one of the sql statements which I have tried which is giving me the error:
select "ID_NUMBER",
"PROJECT_NAME",
"PROJECT_TYPE",
"OWNER",
"PRIORITY",
"STATUS",
"END_DATE",
"COMMENTS"
from "PROJECT"
WHERE "STATUS" != 'Completed' AND "STATUS" != 'Cancelled'
ORDER BY "END_DATE"
Regards,
Ed.

You must deselect column heading sorting that is in the page "Report Attributes" .This is a check box placed on the same line of the element of the report.

Adding mouse listener to the column header of a column in a JTable

Hi
I want to add a mouse listener to the column header of the 3rd column in a JTable. I dont find any appropriate method to do this. The code I have written to do this is below. But on using this code, the mouselistener is invoked if I click on any column header. Can anyone please help me to fix this.
table.getTableHeader().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
/* some actions */
}

      table.getTableHeader().addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){
           public void mousePressed(MouseEvent me) {
               int tableColumn =table.columnAtPoint(me.getPoint());//it returns the column index
        });

Tooltip for column header sorting

If I enable column header sorting, is there a way to put a tooltip (HTML 'title' property, I guess) on the column header saying 'Click here to sort by this column'?
The triangle image shows this alt text but that triangle image is shown only next to the column that is currently sorted, not all the columns.
[My column headings come from a custom PL/SQL function, not declaratively on the Report Attributes page]
Thanks

See
http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=24317:28
The following seems to work.
Add this javascript to the Page Attributes Header section
<script type="text/javascript">
function AddTooltip()
var l_link;
var l_hrefs=document.links;
for (var i=0; i < l_hrefs.length; i++) {
l_link=l_hrefs;
if (l_link.href && l_link.href.indexOf('fsp_sort_')>=1) {
l_link.title="This is a tooltip"
</script>
Then call it from the onLoad as follows
onLoad="AddTooltip();"
Seems to work like a charm.
Thanks
BTW, anyone know how to prevent the [ i ] inside a [ pre ] from being interpreted as an italic tag? I thought all text inside a PRE tag is left untouched?

How to implement column header sort

Hi all,
Does anyone know how to configure Oracle 9i AS Portal Release 2 column header sort.
In Portal, Oracle has setup the IDE to sort your columns using arrow keys in the
column headers. I would like to do the same thing without using the Custom Form.
TIA,
Daniel N

I would suggest using the built in Collections framework for sorting.
have class A implement the Comparable interface then implement the compareTo method as follows:
public int compareTo(Object o) {
    A a = (A)o; // <-- may cause ClassCastException if (o instanceof A) != true, but that should not be a problem.
    int value = attr1.compareTo(a.attr1);
    if (value != 0) return value;
    value = attr2.compareTo(a.attr2);
    if (value != 0) return value;
    value = a.attr3.compareTo(attr3); //Notice I switched a.attr3 and attr3 for desc
    return value;
}That should do it for you.
Now put everything into an instance of java.util.List and pass that to java.util.Collections.sort(java.util.List);
If you didn't create class A, and therefore can't add a method to it, then implement a Comparator. The idea is the same, just look at the java.util.Comparator API and use java.util.Collection.sort(java.util.List, java.util.Comparator) method to sort;

Column header sorting: NULLS first/last

Column header sorting doesnt seem to support the NULLS FIRST /LAST feature of the SQL ORDER BY clause.
So, if my data has nulls in it, I cant control where they appear when I click on the column header to sort it.
Is this added to the upcoming 2.0 version?
Thanks

Same question over here: in the J2EE app that I'm rebuilding with Apex, we use NULLS last in all pages, wether order is descending or ascending.
Is 'nulls first/last' supported in any way now?
Are there workarounds to achieve this?
Thanks,

Column header sorting: Checkboxes

Column header sorting doesnt seem to work like one would expect when the column is a checkbox rendered using htmldb_item.checkbox().
If I have a some boxes checked, some unchecked on a page and I click on the column header, I would expect all the checked and unchecked boxes to show up together. But they dont. Does the HTML for the checkbox interfere with the sorting? Is there a way to make it sort what you see on screen?
Thanks

Vikas,
What you get when using htmldb_item calls in your query are varchar2 columns. So itâs ordered by the resulting strings, including all HTML tags that are rendered by that procedure. You might be able to do what you are describing by using Tylerâs sorting hack somehow:

How to display a Column Header for the characteristic Text column

Hi All
Our users want me to provide for a column header for the characteristic text.
Here is what I mean
I am reporting 0plant in the rows as key and Text. In the column on Plant Key the column header says Plant but there is no column header for the plant text.
Eq:
Plant                                                        Amount
IE00         Initiator Plant                               244
IE01         Initiator Plant NJ                          890
Our users in the plant text column want a dummy column header to be displayed. SInce they download the data from the BW report to Excel and use pivot reporting. How can I introduce a column header for the texts.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen,
I am not sure if this is possible, although Users can ask anything :).
In Planning we used to predefine cell headings via Macros and creating dummy cells in between. I am not sure if a similar scenario can work here.
By default this is not possible in Reports. In BEx workbooks, you could probably try with Macros.
Another easy option is to bring the data in the Cube as another field or create a nav. attribute in the master for text and use it as a nav. attr. in the Cube and put it in your Query row alongside.

Image in table column header to the right of the text?

Does anyone know how I can put an image on the right of the text in the table column header?
If I do column.setGraphic it positions image on the left, how can I change the position of the image?
For that matter how can I set alignment of the image? Like if I want it in the corner (even left corner will do) and not next to the text?
Appreciate any help !

You can do this with CSS (needs an external stylesheet, can't be done (easily) with an inline style).
Something like
.table-view .column-header-background .label {
-fx-content-display: right ;
}(Untested... you may need to experiment a bit.)
The structure of the table view control from the css perspective is documented here: http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/api/javafx/scene/doc-files/cssref.html#tableview

How to not display the column header in the table view?

I do not want to display the column header in the table view, how can I achieve it?

If you're using JavaFX 8 you can use the following in an external style sheet:
.table-view .column-header-background {
-fx-pref-height : 0 ;
If you're using JavaFX 2.2, the -fx-pref-height attribute is not available in css, so I think you have to resort to a lookup:
final Region tableHeader = (Region)table.lookup(".column-header-background");
tableHeader.setPrefHeight(0);
As always, I feel obliged to point out that I don't really like lookups. Sometimes they seem to be the only way, though.

Sorting the column of VARCHAR in report

Hi,
I want to sort the column in report with the following scenario,
I have a column name with PERIOD as VarChar with values APR-11,FEB-11,JAN-11,JUN-11,MAR-11,MAY-11 in a report
As you can see, It is sorting in Alphabetic order but I need to arrange in JAN-11,FEB-11,MAR-11,APR-11,MAY-11,JUN-11
So can anyone has a good work around solution?
regards
Vj

Here is your challenge. How do you get Jan-12 to come after Dec-11? Adil's solution is partial. It works only for the current year. Once you cross over to the next year, it stops working because you are only sorting the month. You must include the year to make the solution complete. So here is a solution that always works. It involves some math so I'll explain the math first.
Let's look at your values:
Jan-11
Feb-11
Dec-11
Jan-12
If you convert each month to a number (i.e., Jan = 1, Feb =2... etc.) and then multiply the year by 1000 and finally add them together, we get this:
Jan-11 1 --> 11001
Feb-11 2 --> 11002
Dec-11 12 --> 11012
Jan-12 1 --> 12001
You get the picture. The last column will be in the order you seek because the integer will always be greater than the previous month-year even at the transition from December to January. BTW, I multiplied the two digit year by 1000 to ensure that there would be no overlap.
Now you can sort by this third column. Here is the code that does this:
CAST(CASE WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Jan' THEN '1' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Feb' THEN '2' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Mar' THEN '3' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Apr' THEN '4' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'May' THEN '5' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Jun' THEN '6' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Jul' THEN '7' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Aug' THEN '8' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Sep' THEN '9' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Oct' THEN '10' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Nov' THEN '11' WHEN LEFT(Table.PERIOD, 3) = 'Dec' THEN '12' END AS INTEGER)+CAST(RIGHT(Table.PERIOD, 2) AS INTEGER)*1000
This solves your problem now even when the month-year crosses to the next year. There you go!

JTable - One Column Heading for Two Columns

Can you adjust the default JTable to have one column heading for two columns of data? Is there a simple span command? I've looked at the api for JTable and JTableHeader and didn't see anything, is there something I'm missing? Any help would be appreciated.

What i am trying to accomplish is have column 'E' span 2 columns.
This is my code thus far, however it give the error from my pryor message. I am pretty sure it is because I'm using and Object[][] and a String[] instead of Vectors. What corrections do I need to make in order for my goal of:
[ A ][ B ][ C ][ D ][ E ][ F ][ G ]
[ 1 ][ 2 ][ 3 ][ 4 ][5][6][ 7 ][ 8 ]
Object[][] data = new Object[ROWS][COLUMNS];
String[] columnNames = {"A","B","C","D","E","E","F","G"};
table = new JTable(data, columnNames);
table.setBackground(Color.white);
table.addKeyListener(this);
DefaultTableCellRenderer d = new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
d.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
table.setDefaultRenderer(table.getColumnClass(0),d);
for (int i = 0; i < table.getColumnCount(); i++){
TableColumn aColumn = header.getColumnModel().getColumn(i);
TableCellRenderer renderer = aColumn.getHeaderRenderer();
if (renderer == null) {
renderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer(){
public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column){
JTableHeader header = table.getTableHeader();
if (header != null) {
setForeground(header.getForeground());
setBackground(header.getBackground());
setFont(header.getFont());
setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.CENTER);
setText((value == null) ? "" : value.toString());
setBorder(UIManager.getBorder("TableHeader.cellBorder"));
return this;
aColumn.setHeaderRenderer(renderer);
