Can the column names be changes dynamically in OBIEE presentation

Hi,
Is thr any way through which I can change the column names depending on the value of a column.
the table structure is
Plan_name Character1 Character2 Character3 ....
so here according to plan_name the meaning of each character column changes. And I want to display each type of meaning on the presentation layer.
I cannot create aliases as the number of different plan name is 1200.
Any help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Akansh Agarwal

Hi,
I haven't tested these options, but you might. Maybe you try to supress the header for your table with data. After that, create a second table, which will be used as the header, and insert the same number of columns as the first table.
So on the 'header' table, create a conditional style (Criteria, Column Properties, Conditional Formatting), pointing to the values on shown in the first table. (You maybe need the data to be queried in both).
If this does't work, you can try to adapt the javascript shown in this blog: DELIVER BI OBIEE 11g &amp; 10g , ODI , OBIA: OBIEE Table make a row BOLD with JAVA
And instead of making the row bold, change the value.
Hope this helps. Sorry if it does't work.
Best regards.

My scenario is little different, let me explain:
My columns will remain same but values changes (based on column formula) according to the selected prompt value
If I select 'Oct' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Oct' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Nov' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Dec' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Jan' of next year only.
Later if I select 'Jul' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Jul' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Aug' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Sep' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Oct' only.
I don't have different columns for each months but the columns are capable to reflect data for any month.
So, how can I reflect the column name as month name for which that contains data.

How to use the column names generated from Dynamic SQL

Hi,
I have a problem with Dynamic SQL.
I have written an SQL which will dynamically generate the Select statement with from and where clause in it.
But that select statement when executed will get me hundreds of rows and i want to insert each row separately into one more table.
For that i have used a ref cursor to open and insert the table.
In the select list the column names will also be as follows: COLUMN1, COLUMN2, COLUMN3,....COLUMNn
Please find below the sample code:
TYPE ref_csr IS REF CURSOR;
insert_csr ref_csr;
v_select VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_table VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_where VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_ins_tab VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_insert VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
v_ins_query VARCHAR2 (4000) := NULL;
OPEN insert_csr FOR CASE
WHEN v_where IS NOT NULL
THEN 'SELECT '
|| v_select
|| ' FROM '
|| v_table
|| v_where
|| ';'
ELSE 'SELECT ' || v_select || ' FROM ' || v_table || ';'
END;
LOOP
v_ins_query :=
'INSERT INTO '
|| v_ins_tab
|| '('
|| v_insert
|| ') VALUES ('
|| How to fetch the column names here
|| ');';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE v_ins_query;
END LOOP;
Please help me out with the above problem.

I Built the statement as required but i need the column list because the first column value of each row should be inserted into one more table.
So i was asking how to fetch the column list in a ref cursor so that value can be inserted in one more table.

Then add a RETURNING INTO clause to the query to have Oracle return the first column values into a collection.

Dynamically change the column name....

Hi,
I am facing a problem in displaying name of the columns dynamically as a parameter selected from the dashboard prompt.
I have some facts which contains data according to the selected month (From Prompt).
As of now the column names are:
Curr, Next1, Next2, Next3 which displays the data for the months accordingly to the selected month from prompt.
Data is coming correctly but on the report the column name are displayed as Curr, Next1, Next2 and Next3 which I want to be displayed as the month name for which it contains data.
How can I do that? I have tried presentation variables to be used in custom heading but that is only as string.
Thanks in advance !!!

S Anand

Script task to read the column names dynamically and create a table in database based on excel column structure

Changing the Column names / alias

Hi,
I have an oracle query and it works fine.
select q.sname,
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,10,1,0)) as "0 - 5",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,9,1,0)) as "6 - 10",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,8,1,0)) as "11 - 15",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,7,1,0)) as "16 - 19",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,6,1,0)) as "20 - 20",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,5,1,0)) as "21 - 27",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,4,1,0)) as "28 - 30",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,3,1,0)) as "31 - 40",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,2,1,0)) as "41 - 45",
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,1,1,0)) "46 - Over",
COUNT(q.sname) "TOTAL"
from task_core@cds t, cor_queue q, profile_core@crb p
where t.nmboxid = q.nmboxid
and p.ncodaid = t.nobjectid
and p.ntype=2
GROUP BY q.sname
ORDER BY q.sname
It generates a Cross-tab sort of result and I am using the decode function to generate the result.
My problem is that right now I am using hardcoded column names or alias for the columns generated by the decode function. eg. "0-5", "6-10" etc.
I have another table which contains these values ("0-5","6-10"). I would like to know instead of hard coding the column names like
SUM( decode(p.nprofile1,10,1,0)) as "0 - 5"
can we retrieve the values from the Other table that contains the values "0-5","6-10" etc and display it there in the decode function?
Pls help me with this issue
Thanks

How to change the column name as bold in adf table

Hi,
How can I change the column name with bolder style and blue colour in adf Table?
I changed the color and font weight in af:column properties, but its effecting the data in that column but not with the column Header Text property.(i have given column name in header text).

and I have taken panel tabbed layout and in that i'm displaying this table.
but this table has scroll beneath of it to show all columns.
but i want to display all columns (for this, page should have scroll at the bottom side).
how can I achieve this???

Hi,
Add the following CSS Code to the custom skin css file that is to be created as per the suggestions above.
*af|column::column-header-cell{*
color:Blue;
font-weight:bold;
This would ensure that all the table column headers are blue in color and bolder font style through-out the application.
By the way, what version of JDeveloper are you using?

Changing the column names displayed via an ODBC driver

Hi we are just starting to used Crystal Reports to improve the reporting capabaility of a legacy application, we can access the data fine using an ODBC driver. What we want to do is change the column names that are displayed within Crystal Reports so they are more user friendly and not in techno speak,, so that the users can create their own reports. Do we need to used Business Objects to setup a Universe to do this, is their a simple cheaper method sorry if this post is in the wrong section

Can you set up "views" in your database?Â That would probably be the easiest way to do this.
