Changing tabular form column to checkbox

I have a tabular form in 3.2. There is a column that is a text field, but really should be a checkbox. I have tried changing the region source to something like, select a, b, APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX(3, PRIMARY FLAG) "PRIMARY_FLAG", d
from my_table
WHERE a = :P52_XPROD, but the column still shows up as a text field, displaying a value like "<input type="checkbox" name="...etc.
Is it possible to change a tabular form column to a checkbox in 3.2?

edit your report attributes, then edit your column and change "display as" to "standard report column"
Thanks

Dynamic Action On change tabular form question

Hi guys!
I've wanted to add dynamic action on change (tabular form) to execute PL/SQL which checks if column of the tabular form has changed and if yes it changes walue of text field to Y or N. It doesnt work...and I don't know why. If I create validation with this PL/SQL it works. Can you help?
DA:
On change - Tabular Form
PL/SQL;
DECLARE
   nazwa     VARCHAR2(4000);
   counter   NUMBER := 0;
BEGIN
   FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f08.COUNT
   LOOP
    SELECT NAZWISKO INTO nazwa FROM SPR_META.M_UZYTKOWNICY WHERE NAZWA_UZYTKOWNIKA = apex_application.g_f02(i);
      IF wwv_flow_item.md5(nazwa) <> wwv_flow_item.md5(apex_application.g_f08(i)) THEN
        counter := counter + 1;
      END IF;
   END LOOP;
   IF counter > 0 THEN
   :P5_IS_TABULAR_FORM_CHANGED := 'Y';
   ELSE
    :P5_IS_TABULAR_FORM_CHANGED := 'N';
END IF;
END;Page items to submit: P5_IS_TABULAR_FORM_CHANGE
What's wrong?
With regards,
PsmakR

Region static id shouldn be in bracketsYou missed the '#' informt of the region id.
why my original PL/SQL process did not work
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f08.COUNTThis works only when the application array has values and that happens only when the page is submitted.When you submit the dynamic action , it isn't.
This script combined with script to detect changes makes apex page running very slowIf you use that PLSQL code(assuming it works as expected) , then its going to take a server request every-time you change a field in the tabular form and loop though all the array values(if they would be submitted before) and recalculate and compare the checksums . Isn't that going to be very inefficient.
As for that JS code, it only runs at the client side. You can do all the server side checks on submit, when the user expects some delay due to processing.

Use value from tabular form column in the LOV where clause of another column

Hi
Using APEX 4.2 on 11g
In a tabular form I want to filter the values in a Popup Key LOV based on the value of another column (same row).
i.e. I want to get the value of one column and use it in the where clause for the Popup LOV on the same row.
e.g. where COL 2 is a popup LOV
COL 1
COL 2
1
LOV SQL: SELECT a FROM b WHERE c = <value from COL 1>
2
LOV SQL: SELECT a FROM b WHERE c = <value from COL 1>
3
LOV SQL: SELECT a FROM b WHERE c = <value from COL 1>
The value in COL 1 does not change once the row is created. It is a hidden ID field.
Is this possible?
Nick

Anyone have any ideas?
I thought getting the value from one column and using it in another column would be commonly used functionality... I just can't seem to work it out.

Add rows to tabular form with apex_item.checkbox?

Hi,
I have created a data manipulation process to add a row to a tabular form. The issue is that I have some checkboxes and when I click the button to call the add row process it doesn't
create any of the checkboxes only the text fields. Is there anyway for me to accomplish creating the checkboxes in this manner?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
So any existing data on the table must be hidden from view, so that this tabular form is, in effect, for inputs only?
If so, you can create dummy rows using something like:
SELECT NULL EMPNO, NULL ENAME, etc
FROM DUALAs long as the process still refers to the EMP table that should be ok. If you still needed to include data from the EMP in certain circumstances, you could then just do a UNION ALL to the above and provide a WHERE clause:
SELECT NULL EMPNO, NULL ENAME, etc
FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, etc
FROM EMP
WHERE :P1_SHOW = 1You could also delete the rows using javascript but you would lose any entered changes by the users - either of the above would be used during a page load, though, so any entered data would be saved when the page is submitted (unless you conditionally disabled the process)

FILL ONE TABULAR FORM COLUMN FROM A FIELD IN ANOTHER REGION.

Hi,
I'm, using Oracle APEX 4.2. In one of my pages i have two regions. One of them has a text field and a button, and the another region with a tabular form.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=41771:2:14057730603424:::::
I want to enter some data into the text field and when I press the Button named Estado, just the rows checked change the value of the column Estado.
PLEASE HELP!
Thanks.
Eve

Dear Eve,
I have made a PL/SQL process called updatePAGObyEstado executed when the button pressed, with the following code
BEGIN
   for i in 1..apex_application.g_f01.count loop
     update PAGO
     set PAGO_ESTADO = :P2_VALOR
     where PAGO_ID = apex_application.g_f01(i);
   end loop;
   COMMIT;
END;Please, if this solves your problem, mark it as Correct.

Validating Tabular Form Column Against Value From Another Table

Hi,
I am brand new to this forum, so please bear with me a little! I only have a small amount of experience writing PL/SQL, and I've never written Javascript or JQuery before. I am an Oracle DBA, and I have coding experience in C and PERL, so I do have a solid technical background. But, I need some advice on the best way to approach a problem.
I have a database application in Oracle Apex (version 4.2) with a tabular form against a table: let's say Table #1 with cols 1A, 1B, and1C. I need to ensure that the value entered into col B isn't greater than the value of a column in another table (let's say Table #2 col 2A). Conceptually, the amount of money available is in Table #2, and the rows of my tabular form are an act of spending money (like orders or invoices), so I need to make sure we don't spend more than we have. Does that make sense?
Does anyone have any advice for the best way to do this? I'm figuring the biggest issue here might be that we have to account for people entering mutliple rows in the tabular form at one time, right? So, if a person entered 3 orders/invoices, I need a total to make sure they didn't spend more than we have in Table #2.
I greatly appreciate your help!
Best Regards,
Laurie Baublitz

Hi!
You need one process of type ajax callbacks like:
DECLARE
   l_limit nubmer;
   l_number1 number := apex_application.g_x02;
   l_returnValue VARCHAR2(200);
BEGIN
   select A2 into l_limit from table2;
   if l_number1 > l_limit then
      l_returnValue := 'LIMIT IS NOT SO BIG';
      if l_returnValue is not null then
         --this will write l_returnValue to the buffer, and the ajax callback will receive this
        htp.p(l_returnValue);
      end if;
end if;
END;
Then you need one javascript on page, code is something like:
$('input[name=your column in tabular which is change]').live('change', function(){
   //if value of changed field differs from an empty string
   if($(this).val()!=''){
      //put target element in a var to reference it in the ajax success callback
      var num = $('input[name=your column in tabular with value]');
      $.post('wwv_flow.show',
             {"p_request"      : "APPLICATION_PROCESS=your ajax callback function",
              "p_flow_id"      : $v('pFlowId'),
              "p_flow_step_id" : $v('pFlowStepId'),
              "p_instance"     : $v('pInstance'),
              "x01"            : $(this).val(),
              "x02"            : $(num).val()
              function(data){
                 if(data !=''){
                 alert(data);
I can not guarante that code is 100% working, if not you need to do some changes or make an example on apex.oracle.com and provide credentials here.

Validation in Tabular form column

Dear All,
i am using tabular form (Apex 4.1) to create new project users.
i want to apply validation on column of tabular form.
i have multiple entry in tabular form .i want to iterate throuh all records to check validation but my code is not iterating in to all record of columns.
where i doing wrong.
my code is
DECLARE
D DATE;
BEGIN
SELECT START_DATE INTO D FROM PA_PROJECTS_ALL WHERE PROJECT_ID=:F104_RESOURCE;
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f09.COUNT
LOOP
IF apex_application.g_f09(i) >=D THEN
RETURN TRUE;
END IF;
RETURN FALSE;
END LOOP;
END;How can i iterate my loop if 2 and 3 row record not satisfying this condition
apex_application.g_f09(i) >=D .How can i do this.
Thanks

DECLARE
D DATE;
B BOOLEAN := FALSE; -- Added
BEGIN
SELECT START_DATE INTO D FROM PA_PROJECTS_ALL WHERE PROJECT_ID=:F104_RESOURCE;
FOR i IN 1 .. apex_application.g_f09.COUNT
LOOP
--IF TO_DATE(apex_application.g_f09(i)),'DD-MON'YYYY' >=TO_DATE(D,'DD-MON-YYYY') THEN
IF TO_DATE(apex_application.g_f09(i)),'DD-MON-YYYY' >=TO_DATE(D,'DD-MON-YYYY') THEN -- removed syntax error in this line
--RETURN TRUE;
B := TRUE;
END IF;
--RETURN FALSE; --commented
END LOOP;
RETURN B;
END;This will iterate through the entire array, and if even one time it runs B:= TRUE it will return TRUE.
Now all this assuming that the above code is a Condition on the Validation. If it is the Validation itself then TRUE Means Passed and False means failed. Check whether that is what you want.

h5. Contrariwise, if it was so, it might be; and if it were so, it would be; but as it isn't, it ain't. That's logic. --Lewis Carroll

How to fetch the tabular form column value into page items

Hi,
I have created tabular form. I have set LOV for one column. Here my requirement is when i select the value from lov then it will fetch that value into page item.
can any help?
I am using apex 4.1
Thanks

It's not so easy to make a dynamic action on a tabular form.
The best thing you can do is to use the javascript API from APEX: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/javascript_api.htm
So if you have a tabular form then open your item and make it a column link.
In the link location select URL.
Your URL would be something like this
javascript:$s('P1_PAGE_ITEM', #COLUMN_ID#);doSubmit('COLUMN_ID');The doSubmit is not required but if you don't submit your page then the server would never know about your page item.
Off course it is possible to submit at a later point. For example you can just use the $s to set the value off an item and afterwards create a button that would submit your page.
Be aware that if you just set the value off your page item and just link to an other page without submitting or without branching that other page would never know about your page item.
If you want the server to know the value off a page item you need to submit it's value to the server. The easiest way is just to do the doSubmit() call after you have set your value.
Hope this helps,
Regards
Nico

Add Row on Tabular Form - column from read only to update/insert allowed

APEX 4.2.2
Newbie in the APEX forums, go easy please.
I'm building a rather simple tabular form based on a table with a primary key (emp_number). Sounds like an Oracle tutorial but trust me, it's a real table. This table has, for this example's sake the following attributes:
Table Name: EMP_EXCEPTIONS
EMP_NUMBER NUMBER (PK)
UPDATE_EXEMPT VARCHAR2(1)
I've used the Tabular Form wizard to create a nice looking tabular form page, all good and works as intended. Of course the primary key value is non update able by the wizard and that's by design - I've no need to update any primary keys. When I click the add rows button however, I'd like to be able to include the emp_number field as a input able field. At the moment, when I click the add rows button it inherits the property of the emp_number as read only. The user entering the new row would know the employee number and whether they were update_exempt or not. So rewinding my head in Oracle Forms, this would have been done by setting the row attribute as update allowed when the button is clicked. Is there such simple functionality in APEX and if so can you point me in the right direction?

It seems to be true:
- if there is ascending order on columns which fields are null in new line (have no default value), new row is visible in current "pagination" page
- but if there is DEScending order OR ANY sort order is set on columns which fields are NOT null in new line (have default value), new row is NOT visible in current "pagination" page
thank you!

Tabular Form Columns

Hi,
It is posible to have a column in a tabular form defined as display only , but when the 'add row' button is pressed the new row to have that field coresponding to diplay only column , updatable.

You can try and make that column on all rows except the new row ready-only, through javascript.

Submit Action and Redirect page in Tabular form Column Link

Hi All,
I have a scenario to submit the current page and redirect to another page with the arguments, when i clink on the link which is created using column link in Report Attributes.
I can able to perform the submit action, but redirection is not happening.
Created a column link on non database column by providing
Link Attribute : <a href="#" onclick="doSubmit('SAVE')">#FAM_DET#</a>
Target : Page in this application
Page : 7
Item name : P7_TRAVEL_REQ_ID
item Value: #TRAVEL_REQ_ID#
Item name : P7_TRAVEL_REQ_LINE_ID
item Value: #TRAVEL_REQ_LINE_ID#
Can anyone help me out to resolve this.

Remove the link attribute (what you have used there is not the correct way to use this property anyway).
Change the target page to the same page as the report.
Set the Column Link Request property to BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|SAVE.
Create an On Submit: After Processing (After Computation, Validation, and Processing) branch to page 7, conditional on the SAVE request.
If the SAVE request can be triggered by something other than the report link (e.g. a Save button) then use another request value that will trigger the required page process in the link request and branch condition, e.g. BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT|APPLY and APPLY respectively.
Note that there is a bug in BRANCH_TO_PAGE_ACCEPT processing in APEX 4.2.3 and a patchset exception must be installed for this approach to work on this APEX release.

Checkbox in tabular form - help needed

I'm trying to build a tabular form, with a checkbox for a field that can have value 'Y' or 'N'. Adding the checkbox is no problem, with the htmldb_item.checkbox API.
However, processing it is.
On this forum I found a way to process the checkboxes, by looping through all the records (with the help of htmldb_item.hidden in which the id is stored) and reading the value from the checkboxes and updating the column if the checkbox is checked. (see Re: Report with updateable checkbox)
however, as soon as I add a htmldb_item.hidden item, I receive the following error when I submit the tabular form to the Multi Row Update process:
"Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. "
My query:
Select id
,htmldb_item.hidden(1,id)
,htmldb_item.checkbox(2,id, decode(field, 'Y', 'CHECKED', NULL))
from table
What am I doing wrong?
is there a better way to process a tabular form with checkboxes?
Or should I process all the rows manually by updating every record even if it hasn't changed (with a loop through all the records)?

Tonnie, did you ever get an answer to this question?

Column alignment in tabular form

Hi,
how to change column alignment in f.e Text Fields in tabular form.
Manual option doesn.t work (alingment not heading). I tried to add
style=text-align:right ( i cut quote)in element column formatting options but I didn't find solution.
Anyone know how to change this?
Maybe sth simillar to the same problem in IR:
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td, .apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td div{text-align:right}I understand ".apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA" it's only IR definition and it doesn't work with tabular form
Edited by: nirud on 2010-03-12 07:53

Hi,
Go edit your tabular form Column Attributes where you like apply that style.
Then add to Element Attributes
style=text-align:rightBr,Jari
Edited by: jarola on Mar 14, 2010 11:22 AM
Forum do not like my code
wrap text-align:right to double quotes

Tabular form condition type value of item / column in expression 1

Hi
Question 1
I was wondering if anyone can help with the necessary syntax so that I can set a Condition Type for a column in a Tabular Form.
What I'm trying to do is show or hide a column based on the contents of another column in the same row for instance show column DETAIL or DETAIL_READ_ONLY if column READ_ONLY is set to 'Y'
Value of item / column in expression 1 = #READ_ONLY# or READ_ONLY (alas neither works)
Expression 2 = Y
I can set all the DETAIL or DETAIL_READ_ONLY columns to either hide or show at the same time by
Value of item / column in expression 1 = P100_READ_ONLY (works well but lacks granularity)
Expression 2 = Y
Question 2
Are Tabular Forms such that all fuctionality has to be global, what effects one column must be the same for all
I know that Oracle prefers that developers don't use tabular forms but they are usefull for data visability when setting up related data in the same table.
e.g. surveys, questionnaires etc apps the web was made for
Thanks
Derek

Hi Sandro
Thanks for replying
The problem I have is Tabular Forms
Detail Text Detail Read Only Read only
Event 1a Event 1b Y
Event 2a Event 2b N
Event 3a Event 3b Y
What I want it to look like is
Detail Text Detail Read Only Read only
___________Event 1b__________ Y
Event 2a_____________________ N
___________Event 3b__________ Y
This would mean that the Text Field containing Event 2 could be updated but the Display Only fields containing Event 1 and Event 3 cannot be changed.
The trick is to be able to mix and match data types for the same data because Tabular Forms columns don't have a conditional read only choice.
Sorry about the rudimentary diagram, but its the old 80 / 20 rule =>20 percent functional

Tabular form default column value bug when using named notation?

Hi,
I am using Application Express 4.0.2.00.07
After exporting and importing an application, the default value of a tabular form column results in an "ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis" error.
My original application uses named notation while calling my function (no problem here):
Report Attributes > Column Attributes > Tabular Form Attributes > Default type = PL/SQL Expression or Function > Default = pkg_customers.some_funtion (*in_param =>* :P15_FK_CUSTOMER_ID).
When I change this in my imported application to ... > Default = pkg_customers.some_funtion (:P15_FK_CUSTOMER_ID) everything works fine again.
Is this a known bug or is there something I do not see?
Regards,
Frederik Van de Velde.

yes it is
p_column_default=> 'calpa_pkg_klanten.fun_sm_betreft_default (in_pk_klant_id => :P9_FK_KLANT_ID)',
p_column_default_type=> 'FUNCTION',
by default it is set exactly the same, but when running the page the tabular form does not render because of the usage of " =>".
thx
