Column Name in BI Reports

Hi,
I have about 80 reports that are running in various dashboards. Each of those reports is an Answers request.
Is there a way to find out if a particular column is being used in which report without going through each report manually?
Thanks,
rkingmdu

Hi kingmdu,
Is there a way to find out if a particular column is being used in which report without going through each report manually?No,we can find a single column from so many requests.
But we can do one thing,its simple the column you want to search gives you some clue say like example column name=customer name then definately it will exists in something named customer prefixed or suffixed table in the presentation catalog that are defined.Same way you apply it for the column your searching.
Looks simple but no other option.
Hope it helps you.
Best Wishes,
Kranthi.

How to suppress column names in SQL-report

What I want is just the data, without any column names.
COLUMN LDATE OFF;
SELECT     SYSDATE LDATE
FROM DUAL;
LDATE
07.11.11
This example doesn't work. There is still LDATE above column. Any idea?

Dynamic Column Name on Interactive Report

Hi all,
Is it possible to assign a SQL result to a Column name on an interactive report?
I have been able to do this on a standard SQL Report though the use of page items but have not had much luck with interactive reports.
Any help is appeciated.
Thanks,
Dan

could you please explain step 4 a bit more?
as with the standard report, i just created an item with SQL query with a corresponding computation with same SQL query and that works great.
i tried the same method with interactive and it did not work.
in step 4 it mentions creating a process to populate the items.
how is this done?
Thanks,
Dan

How to refer a column name in form report

Hi,
How can i refer a column name in the form report. My issue is that " I have a form report in that i have column name when i use to click the column name it should bring me to next page with the corresponding values of the column."
Here i have achieved that when i click on column name(in Page1) it brings me to next page(Page2). but in the next page(P2) i want to display(only display) the corresponding values of the selected column(Page1) but the values should not be editable and should not be in text field it should be in display only field.
So how can i write a sql query in display only souce field. Ie, how can i refer the column name in(page1) form report.

Hi Karthik
Very good morning.
I think u have column link in the first page and when u select a data in the first page and when u r moving to the next page the the corresponding data need to there is it correct.
For example You have table Employee and u have a select list in the first page contains name of the employee when u select one name and corresponding datas of the employee need to be in the second page.
So Dont clear the cache of the first page.
I the next page make the page items as display only and give the source of the all items a returning the single sql query.
If u have four items in the next page namely p2_sal, P2emp_no etc..
Then use like this
select sal from emp where emp_name=:P1_EMPNAME
Hopes this might helps you.
Thanks & Regards

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:

How to write field catelog for this requirement?
Thanks in Advance.
Rajesh.

I think in the fieldcat, at the time of declearation, you can alter the field description depending on the present month.
If present_month = January
wa_fieldcat-reptext_ddic = 'January'. " Field description
elseif present month = February.
wa_fieldcat-reptext_ddic = 'February'. " Field description
on so on.....................

Getting Column names from SQL report

I have a SQL report as follows:
select ename, dept, manager
from emp;
I need to be able to dynamically access the column names being displayed inside APEX so I can use in a List of Values. I can't use all_tab_columns. Is there an internal APEX table/view that I can accxess that will give me all of the columns that are eing displayed in a SQL report?

Hi Bob,
Try this -
1) Give your report region a static id
2) Use the following query -
select
heading d,
column_alias r
from
apex_application_page_rpt_cols
where region_id = 'FOO';Obviously change 'FOO' to match your region id, and look at the different columns available in the apex_application_page_rpt_cols view to see what best suits you.
The APEX dictionary rocks ;)
Hope this helps,
John.

I am unable to get order by column name in oracle report parameter form

i created query like following in query builder
SELECT CASE_NO, COURT_ID, CASE_TYPE,
INITCAP(PLAINTIFF) PLAINTIFF,INITCAP( DEFENDENT) DEFENDENT,
INITCAP(COUNSEL) COUNSEL, START_DATE, PREVIOUS_HEARING_DATE,
NEXT_HEARING_DATE,INITCAP( DESCRIPTION) DESCRIPTION,
INITCAP(RELIEF) RELIEF,INITCAP(EXTENT) EXTENT,
DECREE_DATE,INITCAP(STATUS) STATUS,INITCAP( LOCATION) LOCATION,
LEGAL_FILE_NO, MSNO
FROM L_CASE_MASTER_MAIN
WHERE to_char(NEXT_HEARING_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY')=:P_NHD ORDER BY :P_COL
and i created parameter form for these two bind variables :P_NHD,:P_COL
in,:P_COL i wrote lov as Select trim(COLUMN_NAME) from user_tab_columns where table_name='L_CASE_MASTER_MAIN' to get all the columns.
in parameter form i am able to get all the columns but when i am generating report it is not giving results as per my ordered column.
kindly let me know the solution
Report Version :Oracle Reports 11g
Db Version:Oracle 11g

Hi,
Ordering the column first takes place from the Data Model Itself.
Please Check your column ordering in the report data model. If it is not ordered in a right way then Rearrange it.
Remove your order by in query...
If any issues... let me know

LOV of column names with a report's custom column headings?

I have a list ov values definition that looks like this:
select column_name d, column_name r from all_tab_columns where table_name = 'DATABASE_LIST'
I'd like to list the custom column headings from a report as d, rather than repeating the column_name. How can I do this?

As Anton said, the best thing is to store your custom headings in a table so that you can use the table for your LOV as well as for your report headings.
To use dynamic report headings, you can use the 'PL/SQL function body returning colon-delimited headings' feature on the Report Attributes page.
So, if your report headings are stored in table t that function body can be
declare
l_headings varchar2(4000)
begin
for rec in (select heading from t) loop
l_headings := l_headings||':'||rec.heading;
end loop;
return ltrim(l_heading,':');
end;Hope this helps.

Sorting column name in crosstab report 10.1.3.2.1

hi,
i have crosstab report build with bipublisher 10.1.3.2.1.
in column, i have jan'11 feb'11 etc but not sorted correctly(it should be ordered by numeric not character).
any advise will be higly appreciated.

You need to either convert these to a date in canonical format and sort based on date,
Or convert these months to number and sort based on number to have the months sorted correctly

Column name in link on sql report?

Hey guys -
Is there some way to put the column name of a report in a link?
When you define a link on a column you have the ability to use a substition string for the VALUE of a particular column... but I want to somehow pass the string value of the column.... anyone know how to do this?
Thanks

Not the value of the column.. I want the actual column name...
i.e.
Items on page to set:
txtbox1
txtbox2
Query:
Channel          INS1     INS2     INS3     INS4
Retail          13     1     333     55
Wholesale     4234     23     1     44Okay, so I want to make a link on the values in the query (the #'s) to set the values of the txtboxes...
example would be if I click on 333 I want it to set txtbox1="Retail" and txtbox2="INS3"
The channel one is fine I just use the substition string of #COL1# in the link and it replaces the value... but nothing that I can find on how ot set txtbox2="INS3"

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;

Calculation Field to be mapped to different data object's column name in Oracle BAM 12c

Hi,
I am having a challenge to enable drill down to 2nd level report by passing calculation field as parameter.
As an alternative, I am thinking to point calculation field to another data object’s column name and generate report so that I would be able to pass that as parameter to drilling report view.
Is there any way to map calculation field to different Data object’s column name? Thanks in advance.

Amik Basu

1. Yes, you can.
SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá number(10));
Table created.
SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values (10);
1 row created.1.1 and 1.2 and 2. You can choose UTF as your default character set. It allows the user of non-English characters in VARCHAR columns in your whole database. It is not per tablespace.
SQL> create table ÜÝÞ( ßàá varchar2(100));
Table created.
SQL> insert into ÜÝÞ values ('âãäçìé');
1 row created.

Dynamically Using XML Element name as column names

I have a requirement where I need to show data for 31 days or days of the month based on the data in the xml result.
Based on the month you are running the report, some may have 28 elements and some may have 31 elements in the data for days.
How do I dynamically show 28 columns or 31 columns etc - the trick here is I have to use the name of the XML element and not the value for column names.
My requirement is like this.
Deal --------01 -------- 02 -------- 03 -------- 04 05 .upto ... 31days
Deal 1 : 22218 : 32218 : 11918
Deal 2 : Qty1 : Qty2 : Qty3
I need to be able to use the XML Element names , Day01, Day02 etc as the column names in the report.
How can I use the XML Element name - in this case I need to remove the "Day" and use just the number part for the column name.
I can't have xml element names as numbers, thats why "Day" string is prefixed.
