Column name change in Interactive Reports

Hi,
I am new to Interactive reporting. We have a report that is resulted from Essbase query. Now in the report, we want to change the column names which are basically the essbase dimension member name. Is it possible to chang ethe names per our requiremnet?
Please help.

Hi again,
I think that you may have posted your question in the wrong forum. This one is for Oracle Application Express and maybe that is the reason why you didn't understand my response. If your issue involves Hyperion Interactive Reporting Studio or Hyperion reporting in general then you should ask in this forum instead:

Lowercase first letter in column name of non-interactive report..Again

A couple of days ago a posted a question on how to make the column name in a non-interactive report
come out as lowercase. (original post: Lowercase first letter in column name of non-interactive report
I am using Theme13, which is probably the only theme that forces the first letter
of a column name in a report to uppercase.
Anyway, I received several responses including the answer which I applied to my page.
Then I went back to make the column sortable and that negates the CSS override and
the first letter in the column name is back to uppercase...arrrggghhh!
Are there any further suggestions on how to force this to lowercase with theme 13 and a sortable column?
Thanks
Donna

Hi,
Try style to page HTML header
th.t13ReportHeader,th.t13ReportHeader a:link,th.t13ReportHeader a:visited{
text-transform:none!important;

Lowercase first letter in column name of non-interactive report

I have a report from this query:
SELECT DISTINCT
v.isotope, v.location,
v.activity_in_ucuries as "uCi"
FROM inventory v
where v.location = 'IN PROCESS'
and v.activity_in_ucuries > 0
Note 'as "uCi"' - when the report displays the lowercase u is displayed as an uppercase U
In the column attributes , I have set the column heading as lowercase. In the report attributes I have Heading Type set as custom
and the column heading shows lowercase. I have also tried using the a heading type of Column Names. With all of these changes the
report still comes out with an uppercase U.
Is there a way to prevent the automatic set of the first letter to Uppercase or alternatively, force the first letter to lowercase?
Thanks
Donna

I am using theme 13. I don't have any experience changing the templates, so the report template has the following in Column Headings:
<th#ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#" class="t13ReportHeader">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
Can I make a change in here to prevent the transformation of the 1st character to uppercase? (I would also love to change the u to mu!)
I do have a test application in theme 3 that seems to preserve whatever case I enter it in...I suppose I can change themes, but I would like to stick with theme 13 if possible.
Thanks for any additional help.

Column name change

hello,
i have used one same caloumn in more than 10 reports. Now there is a name change for it.
is it possible to change the column name in all answers report at once... ? any possible ways ......
thanks

Hi,
Yes. There is one way. If you have not used custom column names for the column you are using in multiple reports, just rename the Presentation Column name in RPD. Make sure the older name appears under the Alias Tab when you go to the Column Properties in RPD (Presentation Layer).
Please let me know if this resolves your issue.
Thanks,

DB column name changes and APEX

All,
I found out that the database architect is planning to make changes to several of the column names in all of the tables I use in a large application. So...rather than open every screen, every condition, every procedure, etc. looking for the db fields I need to change, I am hoping I can find a way to do it in sql*plus.
At a minimum, I hope to be able to create a report for each table/column referenced in the application that will show the pages and places where it is referenced. Any ideas?
Thanks,
Steve

Patrick directed me to the Object Dependencies report - and it would work but you have to click on the "count" to see where it is referenced. I am hoping for a detail report. Patrick also suggested editing an application export to do global column name changes - that will also work. If you have done it differently, let me know.

Power View Enhancement Request - Allow for columns to drop off PowerView when column name changes in data model instead of rendering the PowerView inaccessible

Currently in PowerView, if a column name changes in the tabular model, and that column is being used in a PowerView chart, the PowerView will become inaccessible.
It would be nice if it functioned similar to Pivot Table. If a column name changes for a column that is being used in a Pivot Table, the field is just removed from the chart, and the user can select the newly named column.

Hi plantm,
After testing the issue in my environment, I can reproduce it. After we change a column name which is used in a Power View chart, Power view will render the message that” The external data connection has been disabled for this Power View report. Please enable
the connection.” when we reopen the file.
To fix this issue, we can click Refresh button under POWER VIEW menu, then it would prompt us that” Power View was not able to complete the action due to a query failure. This can happen if the structure of your data has changed, in which case closing and
re-opening the application will resolve the problem.”
According to the error message, we should try to reopen the file to fix this issue. Power view will render the message that” Please refresh to see the data for this Power View Sheet. You can set properties in the Connection Properties dialog so that the
data refreshes automatically when you open the file.” when we reopen the file. Then we can refresh it again, the report will be displayed without that field.
Based on my research, inherently what the message means is that Power View cannot be used as a tool for snapshot reporting. With an Excel PivotTable, we can see the data last saved in the PivotTable. Power View, however, does not behave the same way – it
won’t render the last saved state. If we want to avoid this message when we reopen the file, there are two methods:
When we create the Power View report, we can select the checkbox that “Refresh data when opening the file”.
After it’s been set up, go to Connections on the Data menu, then choose Properties.
For more details about the settings, we can refer to the following blog:
http://www.sqlchick.com/entries/2013/3/30/creating-a-power-view-report-in-excel-2013-which-uses-an-ext.html
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Conditional Column Formatting in an Interactive Report?

Is it possible to add conditional column formatting in an Interactive Report in Apex 4.1? I've found numerous examples for older versions using the standard (classic) report, but I haven't found any with the new Interactive Report. Is this possible? and if so, can someone point me in the direction of some documentation or examples?
I simply want to change the color of the text depending on whether a column has a value (eg. Error or Problem).
Thanks

Oracle Application Express (APEX)
As interactive reports lack the HTML Expression feature of standard reports, the simple way to do this unfortunately requires violating the separation of concerns and generating structural (a <tt>span</tt> element) and presentational (an in-line style sheet) aspects in the query:
select
⋮
 , case
 when trunc(calling_date,'DD') = trunc(sysdate,'DD')
 then
 '' || to_char(calling_date) || ''
 else
 '' || to_char(calling_date) || ''
 end calling_date
⋮For number/date columns to be properly sortable, the leading edge of the column must be an HTML comment that provides the required sort order using character semantics, as shown here.
The Display As column attribute for such columns must be set to Standard Report Column.
This method has side effects: some IR filters won't work; aggregate calculations can't be applied to the column; and report exports contain the HTML rather than the expected value.
Other approaches involve using Dynamic Actions/jQuery/JavaScript, or using the built-in highlight as suggested above, then saving the highlighted report as the default.

Default Style Column Breaking in an Interactive report

In a normal SQL report there are two types of column break formatting:
1) Default Breaking Format e.g.
aaa 123
456
bbb 789
123
2) Repeat Headings e.g.
aaa
123
456
bbb
789
123
Interactive reports seem to only implement Repeat Headings . Is it possible to break columns in an IR report using "Default Breaking Format"? If so how?
thanks

Column name changed in reports

I have to do some changes on my existing report, its really a complex report with more number of columns and tables. now its really hard to fix the alias name changed by report builder automatically. any one could help me to fix this problem, means what i have alias name in query that i want to use in report.

Hi,
Could you pl clarify the Q? Do you mean that Reports Buider has automatically added an alias to a column name? This is not expected.
Or do you mean that you need to change the alias of the column without disturbing the report definition? You can alter the data model of the report using the feature "Customization at runtime using XML". For more information, refer to Chapter 16 in Publishing Reports Manual for 10g:

Presentation Layer column name change effects on existing reports ?

Hello Gurus,
I have one requirement where user are not sure about the column names in Presentation Layer.
so they want us to create the reports and once the reports are delivered they will give us the column name as per their requirement.
now i read couple of blogs related to this, that does it affects the exiting reports?
in couple of blogs they says that i won't. becaus BI server creates the alias for the old name and will reflects it wherever it's used in reports..
So can anyone tell me where this alias name has been stored in OBIEE?
and is there any precaution that needs to be done while doing this beacuse we are expecting to create around 40-50 reports and changing the column name after changing the presentation layer name change will increase lots of work..
Thanking You..

I've confirmed it on a 10g environment that when you rename the column in the RPD the existing reports reflect the change.
What I was referring to in the statement you highlight is that a column name can be changed when being used as the definition of a report. If somebody specifies an abbreviation of the current name to fit it in a table or chart then it will not be updated from a name change in the RPD.
So long as you build reports using the name provided by the RPD and none of the developers take the liberty of renaming it in the column properties of the request/analyses the single rename should take effect through all the reports you build.
You can also manage the column name by renaming it in a report and using the save as system wide default. But the way you intend to do it would be the best method.

Column name changes in Admin to desktop

I've already created several reports. They all have a column that has the same label. I want to change the label without going into each report and changing to what it should be. I changed the source column label in Admin but it doesn't automatically update the column names in the reports that use this column. I thought this would be the quickest and most intuitive method but it hasn't worked...is there another way besides tediously opening each report and renaming the columns?

I am pretty sure you will have to edit each report. It is annoying, but it makes sense. Suppose there is a folder with an item "User". Some reports are created using "User" as a column heading. Other reports have a different audience or purpose, so "User" gets a heading of "Employee", "Reported By", or something else. When the folder item gets changed to "User Name", Disco does not automatically assume that this is a blanket change across all instances. If it did, then you'd have to go into those places where the worksheet column was purposely changed to something else, and change it back.
The SQL Inspector shows a close approximation of what Disco is going to run. The column labels have no meaning in the database, as they can be different from the actual column names in tables, views, and material views. The SQL Inspector allows you to take the code Disco is going to run, and use it in another tool for diagnosing problems, so having the labels in the statement would defeat this purpose.

Add line break in name of an interactive report computed field

I have a computed field in an IRR and need the name of this field to be broken into 2 lines. In regular columns I can add "br" right in the column attributes but if I use that in the computed field name, the HTML "br" actually shows up in the field name. How can I do this?

Here is a threa dealing with a nowrap issue for an IRR, try making the nowrap setting in the css a wrap and see what happens..

Count a distinct column value in an interactive report

Hi,
I'm struggling with this and would appreciate any pointers.
I have built a view here:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11189:1
The report can have duplicate column values. I'm tying to find a way using the interactive report functionality (i.e. without modifying the underlying SQL) to count a distinct column value. For example, in the example following the link I'd like to be able to count the unique customer_ids and return 7.
This may be fundametally impossible depending on the way the SQL is generated for the interactive reports. If this is the case can anyone confirm this?
Many thanks
Yog.

"Not modifying views is fair enough. But not wrapping a SELECT around them? Really? Why? And as I said, that's imposible, the IR already does it."
This is not a problem. However for the IR's it's a development decision to keep all reported columns ( and analysis on these columns ) as a seperate development process to be controlled centrally by a seperate team. The point to remember is that the app looks at hundereds of views and it was decided that modifying each report to fit each instance would become cumbersome to manage and to put it simply there are not the resources to do it.
again, I'm not here to justify any of that!
SELECT *" ? Every single time? Even when you want to populate a LOV with some names
No just the Reports. It is a very very simple app; a big list an a page for each report.
"I think you should always ask what you want, not less, not more"
I agree, and that should include select * from view.
"Why fetch data you don't want to see"
Some users will want to see some data from the view and other users will want to see other data, Over the whole user base someone somewhere will want to see all of it.
 Actually, there is something good in this, in the future, when you will be asked to check and try to improve the load time of some page, here is the first place where you should look
Brilliant! Like it!!
Does it by any chance fetch a bunch of 20 meg LOBS and then discards them
No, Thankfully a few varchar2 columns and a lot of numeric columns, nothing huge. The reports are acutally pretty fast at the moment...
