Change column headers dynamically in OBIEE

hey guys.
We are working on a BI module for Finance. The data mart captures data for Actuals/Forecasts and Budgets for entire year by months (for example Jan2008 will have Actual/Forecast value and Budget value & similarly for other months of the year) .
Now while displaying on the dashboard reports the column header for the current month should read as Actual and for coming months it should read as Forecast.
Any suggestions as to where we can implement this business rule so as to make the column header dynamic.
Thanks

Change column header dynamically at report run time

how to use LOV In report column definition under column attributes for display..

my requirement is actually to change column header dynamically at time of run report
is it possible with above mentioned way?

Hi,
by making use of specific report column templates and column template conditions you can change the headers dynamically.
See this http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21674/ui_templt.htm#HTMDB25708 for more info.

How Do I cahnge lables(column headers) dynamically?

Hi,
Dynamically, how do I change column headers based on some other value is the report?
Thanks

If the value you want as the column header is in the XML use the element.
If you want different column headers based on a particular element in the XML then use conditional logic (if or when) wrapped around the column headers to do the selection at run time. See the user guide for examples of conditional processing in the template.
cheers,

Need to display COlumn headers dynamically in ALG Grid

Hello,
I need to display column headers dynamically in alv grid Display with its corresponding value.
Column headers should be picked from a field in Final Internal table and its corresponding field will also need to pick from the same table.
T_final... Suppose Field STCTS - (To pick coulmn headers)
                                  CCNGN - (To pick appropriate value for that column)
Can anybody explain me how i can pass these values to ALV Grid using
CALL METHOD CL_ALV_TABLE_CREATE=>CREATE_DYNAMIC_TABLE
EXPORTING
    IT_FIELDCATALOG           = Y_I_FCAT
IMPORTING
    EP_TABLE                  = DY_TABLE.
IF SY-SUBRC <> 0.
MESSAGE ID SY-MSGID TYPE SY-MSGTY NUMBER SY-MSGNO
           WITH SY-MSGV1 SY-MSGV2 SY-MSGV3 SY-MSGV4.

Any suggestions will be appreciated....

Assigning Column Headers Dynamically in ALV output

Hello Experts,
I have to create dynamic column headers based on the user input on the selection-screen. Basically users enter the period and the ALV output has to create the column headers dynamically for that along with some standard columns.
For eg, The selection screen is like this:
From: 'Q4' '2009'
To 'Q2' '2011'.
Then I have to create 12 columns for the months and rest for the Quarters.
Then the output will be like this:
Material, Description,10/09, 11/09, 12/09, 01/10, 02/10, 03/10, 04/10, 05/10, 06/10, 07/10, 08/10, 09/10, Q4/10, Q1/11, Q2/11
I have built the logic to determine the number of colums for the periods based on input.
By reading other posts, I have learnt that I have to use call method cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table to get the functionality.
I have also looked at program BCALV_TABLE_CREATE for some help. It only has column headers in increasing order. But I am not able to understand How to pass the Column Header Label (for eg 10/09 or Q1/10) to the fieldcat dynamically.
Is there any blog/sample prog close to my req? Can anybody please please help me. I grealy appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hi Lope,
You need to filll column heading based on dynamic internal table column names.
In your final internal table, you will have some column names like '1009, 1109, 1209' .
While filling fieldcatalog you need to put your logic for column heading text.
If column name is 1009, concatenate '10 ' '/' '09', or calculate the quarter 10 falls into ,and display Q4/09.

Create grouped column headers dynamically

But I don't understand how I can get the grouping of the columns.
The following structure should be realized:
FR | Headline 1 | Headline 2 |
SR | Min | Max   | Min | Max   |
FR = first row
SR = second row

Change column headers in ALV report

HTML DB Chang column name dynamically

Can I change the column name dynamically. for instance
Today run my apply it will display the title of the columns this
Column title: Wed Thu Fri
04/22/05 04/23/05 04/24/05
Data 45 34 34
54 56 23
Next week
Column title: Wed Thu Fri
05/03/05 05/04/05 05/05/05
45 34 34
54 56 23
The date Change Dynamically?

Go to your report and open report atributes. There you can choose the options for column names. Click on the pl/sql function and type this in:
DECLARE v varchar2(20);
begin
v := to_char(SYSDATE, 'dd.mm.yy')||':'||to_char(SYSDATE+1, 'dd.mm.yy');
RETURN v;
END;
This will set the first two columns to the specified dates. You can use this as one option.
If the case is more complicated than you can do the following:
1. create a number of items on your page - hidden
2. compute the items with values once the page is loaded
3. use item substitute string &ITEM. in the column name, which will use the item value as a name for the column.
This way you are more flexible since you can use the item values for some columns only and have the other columns hardcoded.

Output
column1 column2 column3 .......
Row text1 10 20 30
Row text2 40 50 60
I want to inrease the size of column for row text1 and row text2.
Need help in this.
Thanks,

Is the field that holds your width value called "name"?
Can you send me the xml and RTF template to [email protected] and I can take a look.

Can I change column headings dynamically based on report query conditions ?

Hi All,
Is there a possibility in OBIEE to change the headings of the column dynamically depending on the conditions that i keep on the report query ?
Assume that i am showing an emp table data of one department at a time.
The column heading of employee name should be like <DEPT>_EMP, Where <DEPT> is the department on which i was reporting..
Example:
Report query : Select * from emp where dept = 'PHYSICS'
The column heading of employee name should be PHYSICS_EMP.
Thanks in advance.

Hello,
did you try to create a column with the data of dept and put it in a column level of a pivot table?
In the example that you gave, the column head would show 'PHYSICS' because it's the data filtered at your query. Them, you just edit this column and concatenate the '_EMP' string.

Change Column Heading dynamically in ABAP report

Hi,
is it possible to have the selection screen values in the column heading of the result screen in a report?
Currently list heading / column heading values are maintained in a Goto-> Text elements -> List headings
but I would like to have values there that are entered by user, is it possible?
Regards,
Mindaugas

Hi,
User can Maintain the Column Heading's, by the way you mentioned....
Else you can use TOP-OF-PAGE event to build Dynamic Coulmn Headers.

Automatically change column headers across drill levels.

.Hi,
I have a table in my Webi report that displays month-wise data. On drilling down, it displays day-wise data. Now, the first column of this table is 'Month', which displays the month in MM-YYYY format. The column heading for this column is also 'Month'. Next, when I drill down on month, the column displays days in DD-MM-YYYY format. However, the column heading remains as 'Month', although, the data now being displayed in the column is a day-wise data. I want this column heading to change to 'Day' automatically when I drill down to view the day-wise data.
Any help in resolving this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Alok.

Hi Gabe,
I see you're getting into drilling!
Yes, this should be possible using Alerters. Essentially, you want to say: if the contents of the cell is x, then display y. I'm not sure if you'll want to look for, say "Month" or "=NameOf([[Month]])" but I reckon one would work.
It's explained a little bit in this post, but it's more about dynamically changing the text that's show in the actual column, not the header: http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/03/sorting-months-in-webi.html

Hi,
If you are asking for changing the column in the report from the list of available columns in a drop down menu, yes that is possible. Its called column selector. Please follow the below link on how to work your way through creating a column selector in a report.
