Columns merged with other columns?
how do I achieve the following?
I want to have a tabular form as following
The first line of the tabular form will only be 3 columns (eg. col1,col2,col3). those three columns will then be broken down into 9 columns (ed. col1 - no column, col2 will have col4,col5,col6, and col7, col3 wil have col8 to col12.) on the second line.
Any ideas? I know it is possible to do with html but i'm not sure how to process it in APEX
What I typically do first is to look at a report template from the current theme and see what CSS classes they are using against the tables, headers and rows. I will copy the entries to a text document so I can easily reference them.
The you create a new report template from scratch and as a Named Column (row template).
This type template allows you to specify where each column goes by using a substitution variable for the selected column.
The query I used in the example was
select ename, job, sal
from emp
For the Row Template 1 field under Row Template section, I put
<tr><td>#ENAME#</td><td>#JOB#</td><td>#SAL#</td></tr>
In the Before first and after last row text section I put
1. in the Before rows field
<style type="text/css">
table.outln {border-collapse:collapse;}
table.outln td {border: solid #000 1px;padding:5px;}
</style>
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" class="t9standardalternatingrowcolors outln" border="1">
<tr><th class="t9header" colspan="2">Name / Job</th><th class="t9header">Salary</th></tr>
2. In the After Rows field
</table>
This type of template is REALLY powerful. The only issues that I have run into in the past is that the order of the columns in your query should be the same as the order in which they are used in your row template. I am not sure if it is still an issue, but I have experience issues in the past that when you later change the query and the order is different then the rows are actually put in by position and not by name. To fix that problem I just drop the report and recreate.
If you happen to have my book by Oracle Press, HTML DB Handbook, there is a good description of this type of template on pages 211- 215.
The book is a little old now (almost 2 years). Just happened that they renamed HTML DB to ApEx the month before the book was published. It covers ver 2.0, but still has some good info in it.

How to replace the string of column value with other column value in same table
I have a temp table which contains
Id Name CTC Address Content
1 Ross $200 6th block Dear #Name your CTC is #CTC and your address is #address
2 Jhon $300 1oth cross Dear #Name your CTC is #CTC and your address is #address
Now i want to select content so that it should get replace with the respective columns and final output should come like this
Dear Ross your CTC is 200 and your address is 6th block
Dear Jhon your CTC is 300 and your address is 10th cross
Kindly suggestI think RSingh suggestion is ok ... what do you mean by another way? ...maybe something more generic?
maybe build a table whith the list of col you need to "replace" and dinamically build the replace query ...
declare @colList table(colName varchar(100))
insert into @colList
select 'name'
union all select 'ctc'
union all select 'address'
declare @cmd varchar(2000)
select @cmd='select '+ (select 'replace(' from @colList for xml path('') +' content '+
(select ',''#'+ colName +''', '+ colName +')' from @colList for xml path(''))
+' from YOURTABLENAME '
exec (@cmd)
or your request was different ? -
How to use SQL*Loader to load XMLType Column with other columns?
Hi,
I am trying to use sqlldr to load an XML file into a table with an XMLType column. I have found plenty of examples where the entire table is an xmltype, but I would like to load many XML objects into a generic table for processing with one XMLType column and many other columns to identify the load. As a simple example, I have one constant column which I want to set during the upload.
The following example does not work :(. No errors either.
create table xml_upload
(upload_type varchar2(10) not null,
xml_data XMLType)

When i try to merge the 2nd cell in a row with the first cell, the "Merge cells" option is greyed out yet the option is there for all other cells in the row. What is it about that fist column than makes it so you can't merge with it? Is it a header column? Anybody know why or how to fix? Thanks.
There is a way to convert a standard column into a header column.
The reverse is unavailable.
You must insert a standard column between column A and column B.
Copy the contents of the column A
Paste into the new column B
Delete column A.

Getting a column in numbers '09 to not sort along with other columns
How do I have a header column not sort along with the other columns. for example, if I have a spread sheet with all my contacts and there is a numbers header column on the left, how do I get the last name column to sort but not have the header column sort along with it?

How to show Relevance% along with other columns
I need to retieve the Relevance % in adddition to other columns
in a table? How can I get the Relevance %?
Thanks.The Score(1) does return a number but it is not the number we
are looking for. For example, we have a column, say,
Description in a table. The Decsription column has text,
say, 'Telecom'. Now when we do a query and search on the
description column using the intermedia index for the
word 'Telecom', then the Score(1) should return 100 for that
record since that is the only word in the Decsription column.
Is it possible to do that using intermedia?
Thanks. -
TableView - How to update a running balance column after any other column in the view is re-sorted
To keep this simple and to illustrate a problem that I am trying to solve let's say we have
a domain class that contains an income per day.
This class has two persistent properties - populated from a database table - date and income.
And there is one transient property - running balance - that shows the accumulated income
starting from the first record. This property is not persisted and it is used only to show
the running/accumulated income in a table view.
This domain object is shown in a table view with three columns:
- date
- income
- running balance
The first two columns - date and income - are sortable. When the user clicks on the column
heading these can will be sorted in ascending or descending order. The running balance
column needs to reflect this change and be correctly updated.
So the question is : how would you implement the running balance update after the data in
the table has been updated by the user?
Take 1)
=============
The obvious approach is to use "setOnSort" method to consume the SortEvent event and re-sort the
data but the sort-event does not contain any useful information that would tell from which column
the sort event originated.
Take 2)
=============
Found a possible solution:
- TableView.getSortOrder() returns a list that defines the order in which TableColumn instances are sorted after the user clicked one or more column headings.
- TableColumn.getSortType() returns the sort type - ascending/descending.
- This info can be used in the TableView.setOnSort() event handler to re-sort the data and update the balance at the same time.
Take 3)
=============
When the TableView.setOnSort() event handler is called the data is already sorted therefore the only thing that needs to be done is to update the running balance.I think I understand what you're trying to do. If I've missed it, apologies, but I think this will provide you with something you can work from anyway.
I would listen to the data instead of watching specifically for sorting. This will be much more robust if you add new functionality later (such as adding and removing rows, editing the data that's there, etc).
Specifically, for the runningBalance column, create a cellValueFactory that provides a DoubleBinding; this binding should listen for changes to the data and compute the value by running through the table's items up to the point of the item for which it's displaying the value. (Hope you can untangle that sentence.)
Example. The important part is the cellValueFactory for the cumulativeAmountCol. I guess I should mention that you shouldn't try this exact approach with very large tables as the performance might be pretty bad (computations of the order of n x m on changing data, where n is the number of rows in the table and m is the number of visible rows in the table).

Render a column based on other column value in the same table
JDev 11.1.1.6.0
This may be a silly question but I am stuck
I need to conditionally render a column say A. Condition is like if the value in the other column B of same table is equal to F. I should render column A only when this condition is satisfied. I have tried the following code:
<af:column sortProperty="PhoneNumber1"
sortable="false"
headerText="#{bindings.A.hints.PhoneNumber1.label}"
id="c146"
rendered="#{row.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag eq 'F'}">
<af:outputText value="#{row.PhoneNumber1}"
id="ot130"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortProperty="PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag"
sortable="false"
headerText="#{bindings.B.hints.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag.label}"
id="c80" rendered="true">
<af:outputText value="#{row.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag}"
id="ot129"/>
</af:column>
The data shown in the table for column PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag is F. Still my condition is not working.Timo was saying that it is not possible to render the column in some situations and not in anothers, you will always have to render the column.
The best way to do this is instead of showing a column with the text ' ', show something meaningfull to the user. This is a DataWarehouse advice to you and may be usefull since you're using ADF in a area that uses DataWarehouse..
So the code could be something like this (based on Timo's code):
<af:column sortProperty="PhoneNumber1"
sortable="false"
headerText="#{bindings.A.hints.PhoneNumber1.label}"
id="c146">
<af:outputText value="#{row.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag eq 'False.' ? row.PhoneNumber1 : 'No value applied.'"
id="ot130"/>
</af:column>
<af:column sortProperty="PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag"
sortable="false"
headerText="#{bindings.B.hints.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag.label}"
id="c80">
<af:outputText value="#{row.PhoneNumber1ResponseFlag}"
id="ot129"/>
</af:column>
Hope that helps,

Add each column record with next column record
Dear all,
I have created a crosstab with the column "Order Numbers". Each Order number is calculated per day.
I would like to know how can I create a formula so that each record in the column field is calculated by adding the next column field.
For example
Order numbers
1
2
3
4
5
Formula should display the records like this
Order Numbers
1
3 (12)+
6 (123)
10 (1234)+
15 (12345)
So in other words each record in each field of the column is adding the next field.
Something like ColumnRecord= Column Record+Next column Record.
How can we achieve this?
Many thanks
Regards
JehanzebHellooo,
I have sorted it.
here is what I did
Firstly I selected the Column field (percentage field).
Clicked format -
> then Suppress and clicked on x+2
added the following formula
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x := x + currentfieldvalue;
false
Then I clicked on Display String x+2 and entered this.
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x;
totext(x,2)+"%"
Then I clicked on border->background> and added this formula
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar x := 0;
defaultattribute
all set and it is working perfectly.
I hope this helps someone who is seeking this type of formula

IView from second level navigation merged with Other page
Hi All,
I encountered a typical problem with iViews.
I have second level navigation with links as AAA,BBB,CCC (work sets) added to the Role-1.
CCC is a work set which is been added with pages CCC-1,CCC-2,CCC-3. (CCC-1,CCC-2,CCC-3 are also added to detailed level navigation).
Now on clicking of CCC (second level navigation link), I have page displaying with CCC-1 (which is working as desired).
Now I have page DDD wh.ich is directly to the Role-1. Hence now second level navigation is displaying as AAA,BBB,CCC,DDD on clicking on Role -1 .
Now when I click on CCC, while displaying the contents of CCC-1, DDD (page) is also displaying beneath of the CCC-1.
I don't want this DDD merging with CCC-1.
Can any one help me, how to resolve this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Chinna.Hi,
Just a thought : you could create a new workset and put DDD in it and see if that helps.

Display days of the month as columns along with other information
Hi All
I have a requirement where in I have to display the employee wise leave details for a particular month data passed as parameter to be displayed will be some thing like below
per_all_people_f.employee_name, per_absence_attendances.date_start, per_absence_attendances.date_end, per_absence_attendance_types.name, '01-JAN-2012','02-JAN-2012','03-JAN-2012','04-JAN-2012',..........,'31-JAN-2012'
Test_employee, 02-JAN-2012, 04-JAN-2012, sick leave, N,Y,Y,Y,N,N,N,,,,,,,,,,NSo if the parameter passed is JAN-2012 and the employee has taken leave from 02-JAN-2012 to 04-JAN-2012 the values will be Y otherwise it will be N, Similarly if the passed month is FEB-2012 so the columns will be as below
per_all_people_f.employee_name, per_absence_attendances.date_start, per_absence_attendances.date_end, per_absence_attendance_types.name,'01-FEB-2012','02-FEB-2012',.......,'28-FEB-2012'The last date columns should be dynamic
Any suggestions will be highly appreciated.
RegardsHi,
This looks like an example of a Pivot . See the forum FAQ {message:id=9360005} for several ways to do that, suitable for different versions.
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post your best attempt, along with a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all the tables involved, and the results you want from that data. Sinmplify the problem. For example, even though you're interested in all days of the month, post a problem that only involves, say, days after the 26th of the month. We'll help you find a solution that works for all days.
In the case of a DML operation (such as INSERT) the sample data should show what the tables are like before the DML, and the results will be the contents of the changed table(s) after the DML.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle you're using (e.g. 11.2.0.2.0). This is always important, but even more so with pivots.

XML Report - Conditionally showing a column in between other columns
I have a XML Report, with columns
A, B, C, D

A, B, E, C, D
for column E, I kept <?if:column='X'?> columnname <?endif?>.
When condition is satisfied it is displaying column and also values, but when not an empty column is displayed with no values, I dont want this empty column when condition is not satisfied.
It should just show A, B, C, D instead of A, B, , C, D

Finding column count with dynamic columns and dynamic tables
I've done some PL/SQL for awhile now but was trying to devise a solution for the following problem:
I wish to find the number of times a specific value for a column exists in all the tables that contain the field and I have access to see with the current user. The column name and value will be passed in via parameters.
I was hoping to use something like
select table_name from all_tab_columns where column_name = <variable table name>;
then use the results from this to create a select statment based off the tables from the select above. I know the difference between dba_tab_columns and all_tab_columns - I want to make sure that I only retrieve the values i have access to.
Can anyone point me to some guide / website / reference material I can read to catch up on the idea of creating this statment?
Thank you.Hi,
it's a test version.
You can naturally tune it, but it seemed to work:
declare
pi_column VARCHAR2(30) := 'DEPTNO';
pi_value VARCHAR2(4000) := '20';
v_count NUMBER := 0;
v_count_tab NUMBER;
BEGIN
FOR I IN (select owner, table_name from dba_tab_columns
where column_name = pi_column
LOOP
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'SELECT count(*) FROM '||i.owner||'.'||i.table_name||
' WHERE '||pi_column||' = :pi_value' INTO v_count_tab USING pi_value;
v_count := v_count + v_count_tab;
END LOOP;
dbms_output.put_line(v_count);
END;Regards
