Coloring a column in report

Hi,
I am new to APex.
I am trying to color a column in a report. I am using the <Td> tag. Something like
<TD BGCOLOR="#00FF00">. It is coloring the cell as I want but it is coloring the next column and the values are posted in the next column. The whole table gets shifted to right from that column. I am using Apex3.0.
I am using IE7, I don't know if that matters.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

Vikas, thanks for the reply.
"background-color:red" works but only for the text background. I want to color the whole cell in which the text is displayed. Please help.
regards,
VJ

Background color for column heading

Hi,
I have 5 columns in my report and I would like to have different background color for column headings. How can I do this in report templates?
I was looking at Column heading section-
<th class="t10ReportHeader"#ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
How can I specify backgrund colors for all columns here?
Thanks in advance

G'day Karen,
Thanks for ur reply.
I have seen this note before, its not that the header colors have changed after latest SP was applied in our systems. Also the ABAP and JAVA stacks are in sync.
Scenario is that we are trying to set up a new Portal theme for Enterprise Reporting with some specific color codes (hex codes).
What i have observed is Characterstics Header background color is set up using the element "Background Color of Level 1 Column Heading ".
While the Background color for Key Figures header is using element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading ".
But the problem is element "Background Color of Level 2 Column Heading " is also used as the Background color for Standard Characterstics cell, so if we make it same the whole report of the same color, which we dont want.
Requirement is to get the same Background color for Header cells (both Char. and Key Figure headers).
Any further suggestions will be appreciated.
Thanks

Additional Lead Column in Report painter

Hi Gurus
Please guide me how to add an additional Lead column in Report painter
Thanks
Hiren

Hi HIren,
There can be only one lead column in report painter.
However within the one lead column you can identify more than one characteristic - e.g. cost center and cost element. You can then identify that both characteristics should be exploded.
If you go Edit > Rows > Explode, you have the opportunity of identifying which characteristic takes presidence over the other, and how they expand. So in this example, Cost center will be 1 and cost element will be 2.
The output will be dependant upon your report layout, but you should have the layout so that you have:
Cost Center A:
- Cost Element A
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
Cost Center B:
- Cost Element A:
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
And to distinguish the cost centers from the cost elements, you can format the cost center row "Color for Totals"

Can we add a new column in report which is not in table.

Hi All,
Can we create a new column in report which is not in table.
I have two columns in my table completion_date, manufacture_date. If the difference between the completion_date and manufacture_date is 0, -1, 1 then the new column of the report will say on time against each record or else will display late. Any suggestion how to proceed on this
Regards
Edited by: User_Apex on May 16, 2011 5:54 AM

Standard report then, NOT an interactive report (which if you were using, you could build a computation and report on that)..
Then the adding a column in the query would be your best best...

How to use the procedure column in reports

Hi all
How to call the procedure in reports as source.. If possible how to use columns of procedure in the layout column of report????

Hi,
Your query is not clear.
1. In subject are you asking total column.
A. Edit pivot view and go to Rows and click Total BY option here you can find option like (none,before,after) the you can select after it will display total all culms.
2. I want use the columnC in columnD ? -- Am not understand.
A. What my understand is you want to see the report only C and D values only.
If it is correct we can apply filter in report level click column filed and apply not equal to A then it will show only C and D only.
If it is wrong pleas post me correct one with example. Will try to help out this.
I am not sure this is what your looking so far.
Award points it is useful.

Then you select formula as selection element and enter. You will get the enter formula box. Then you can type your formula and continue. This will add new column to the report.
How to enter formula: you can see the formula components in that id and description.
Id is columns that are present and description indicates explanation of that column.
Enter formula according your requirement.
Examples:
Enter formula screen:
ID : des
X001 amount
X002 pt000
X003 test
1. Enter formula as: ( X001 u2013 X002)
The above formula is for fist column u2013 second column.
2. ( ( X001 u2013 X002) / X003) * 100
First column u2013 second column and devide by third column after that multiple with 100.
Hope this will help you

I want to hide a column in report 6i

hi
I want to hide a column in report 6i,
I used this code
function F_col_qty3FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :color3 is null then
return (false);
else
return (TRUE);
end if;
end;
plz note that COL_QTY3 and COLOR3 both are from different table
and resulting gave this error
REP-1314 Format trigger 'F_col_qty3' reference column 'color3' at wrong frequency.

You can format fields from a lower level group using fields from an upper level field, but not vice versa. This is because for the same upper level field there may exist several values of the lower level field. If this can not happen in your situation, there is no reason to place the fields in different groups.

DataGrid alternating row colors per column

Is there a way to set different alternating colors to each
column in a DataGrid. I have a datagrid where I want two of the
columns to have different alternating row colors, one column (red
and light red) and the other (green and light green).
Many thanks

You can simply set the DataGridColumn property to the
approprate colors.
ex.
<mx:DataGrid y="0" x="0" width="100%">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0x640000"
dataField="col1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0xFF0000"
dataField="col1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0x006600"
dataField="col1"/>
<mx:DataGridColumn id="col1" backgroundColor="0x33CC33"
dataField="col1"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
or you can use the setStyle:
col1.setStyle("backgroudColor", 0x640000)

How to display top 2 countries in 2 columns in Report Designer

Hello Gurus ,
I have a requirement where top 2 countries has to be displayed in two different columns in Report Designer.
is there are way to do that, i tried many differetn ways but was not successfull, apart from creating text variables and writing customer exit.
I appreciate your help
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
I am not sure what version you are, from version 9.3 I think there is a "Top" function, just highlight the row, tick the option for "Top", set the number and the column
Failing that if you need to use rank could you not hide the column.
Cheers

Sorting based on two columns in report

Hi,
we have one issue on sorting based on two columns in report.
In the report we are doing sorting on two columns(week_id and stage_name). I have attached the screen shot for the same. The sorting is first done on the week_id and then on the stage_name. The issue comes when we have no data for the stage 1 - Prospect in W1. The stage goes to the second position.
Please suggest if there is any work around to show the 1 - Prospect stage in W1.
Regards,
Ambika Nanda.

what is w1? where is screenshot? and is stage seoncd sort? if so what is the issue?
