Conditional display of report

hi
i have a batch table (batch_id,batch_name,batch_type..)
i have to pass batch_name and batch_type as a parameter so i have 2 item on a page
batch_name :-select list
batch_type :-select list with submit and it values select from the values of batch_name
create button :- when i hit the create buttons it will show me 2 report in the same page based on the latest batch_id
so i have to apply conditional display on the reports
what would be the condition for the conditional display so that i will get to reports in the same page
dependency between report is batch_id
Regards
Amu

Hi Tobias,
i have interactive report.
the content of report is displayed based on the input values(from select lists),
1)select list -p_cust
2)select list-p_switch(the values of the list select from the values of p_cust i.e select d r from switch_t where cust_name=:p_cust)
requirement like this
1)First i have to select a customer
2)when i select a values (switch) from the switch select list -the result of the report for a paticular switch .
e;g-p_cust='ABC' and p_switch='XYX'
the output of the report would be the all records for 'ABC' customer for a Paticular Switch that is-'XYZ'
3) again when i select a value "All_switches" from the switch select list it should returns all the records for all switches

Conditional Display on Report error

hey,
can anyone suggest a way/workaround to catch a report error. when error occures, i'd like to display another report, just below, without errorneus columns ( Oracle Text score(1) this time )
report error:
ORA-20000: Oracle Text error:
DRG-50901: text query parser syntax error on line 1, column 1
how could i make this error conditional?

Hi Simon - I have the same issue. Did you find a solution?

Complex conditional display in report table

Hi,
I built a report in a region, and want to make one of the columns conditionally display based on attributes from two other columns in the table. The drop-down for the conditional display only lets me refer to the current item. Is there a way I can reference the other cells in that table row in a PL/SQL expression (e.g.: something akin to #COLB# is not null and #COLC#>1000 ?)
Related question: I'm assuming the reason I can't directly change the source for the report region and can only modify it from the Query Definition tab is because I used a wizard to create it. Is there a way to "undo" this and make the source for the report fully editable? That would also solve the problem, since I could just add a function-derived column to the query.
Thanks in advance,
Keith

One final update and rephrasing of the problem, because maybe there's another way to solve this.
I have a column in a report that links to another page, but the link is only shown if a certain condition is met (which is based on other cells in this table row). I can test for those conditions in my original SQL query, so that a null value in my link column results in no user-clickable link being created. (I have to make sure that a null value appears as null on the report page, too.)
This works fine if the link text is just that: text. Because not meeting the condition returns null, so no text == no link.
Now the only problem I have comes if I want to use an icon (e.g.: the edit icon) instead of link text.
What I really want is for the icon to only appear if a certain condition is met. However, the icon replaces the column value so I can no longer use a null value to prevent the link from appearing.
The original question asked whether I can use other report cells (#foo#) in the conditional display for a cell. If that's not possible, any suggestions on how to achieve the desired effect without resorting to JavaScript?
Thanks.

Conditionally display row report template.

Hi
I have a report template based on a Named Column(row template). Everything is working perfectly except I am trying to hide a section on the report if the value is null.
In Row Template 1 I have the following
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>#BLOB_CONTENT#<div class="imagecommentsheader">#COMMENTS#</div></td>
</tr>
</table> I have placed a condition on this based on PL/SQL expression and have the following:
#COMMENTS# is not nullIn row template 2 which should display everything but the comments I have the following:
<table width="100%">
<tr>
<td>#BLOB_CONTENT#</td>
</tr>
</table>I have also set a condition on this based on PL/SQL expresion and have the following in the expression:
#COMMENTS# is nullbut when I load the page I get the following error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 35: PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "IS" when expecting one of the following: ( ) - + case mod new not null others table avg count current exists max min prior sql stddev sum variance execute multiset the both leading trailing forall merge year month DAY_ hour minute second timezone_hour timezone_minute timezone_region timezone_abbr time timestamp interval date
Error ERR-1025 Error processing PLSQL expression. is not null
Where can I be going wrong?
Thanks you

Hi,
If I remember correctly, it was the nulls that caused me problems initially as well.
I ended up thinking of the condition as being what would need to go in:
CASE WHEN ...condition... THENbut also that it could only be fairly simple (you couldn't call functions, for example) as all it could deal with was column values.

Conditional display in Reports

Hi,
Does anyone know of a way to make a icon used to implement a link to another page appear for some rows of a report but not others? The condition for display could be based on the value of one of the columns in the report.
Niall

Right now, you have to put your logic into your SQL for the report. You can use CASE or DECODE to determine what should (or should not) be displayed for a given column.

Conditional Display in Report Template

Hello!
This is a BI Publisher / Apex question but I'm not sure which forum my question should fall under...thought I'd try this one first. Let me know if I guessed wrong. :)
I have created a report template (Word) and a report query in Apex. Everything works great (meaning the data is displayed as it should), but I can't figure out how to display a header/footer based on a user's response. On my search form, the user selects Yes or No if they want/don't want a header/footer printed on the report. The header/footer is predefined in the main database table, but it's not a field in my report query. How do I incorporate this into my template? It's been a while since I created a template in Apex but I don't think I've come across this issue before.
Any ideas?
Thank you,
Tammy

After a week off, I'm back to tackling this issue. I successfully created a sub-template and it works, except when I try to call the report via APEX. I've searched the forums and came across the "disable external references" set to False, but I'm using the standalone version of BI Publisher so I don't have that option. Is there a similar approach via the standalone version?
Thank you!

Conditional Display of Report Columns

I'm trying to hide a vertical list column, but it is either permanently off or permanently on. Any ideas!
For example:-
Display Department name if not null

now i get why you're not liking the report templates approach to this issue. to be honest, my other suggestion on that "Referencing Report Columns" thread might probably be okay here. assuming you're looking up your one detail row with a primary key value, doing the extra query can't be too expensive. if you don't want to go that route (though i'm likin' it, the more i think about it) or the templates one, you might consider either of these two angles:
1) code the detail page's region as a plsql anonymous block that selectively shows what it needs to show.
2) code the appropriate nvl's or case statements into your detail page's report region and have that select statement select out most of your html formatting for you.
i don't particularly like either of the two above suggestions, but now you at least have them. i think i'd run with the solution where you select the detail row twice, but please don't quote me on that.

raj

Conditional display of report row

Hi All,
I've a report form and have a LOV for a column. Based on the data selected in the LOV I need to populate some more rows to that report.
It is basically like a survey page where depending on the answer provided by the user, sub suvery question needs to be populated. For example if I select "Married" for maritial status another question should be populated asking for Spouse Name. All the queries are stored in a same table with Parent question ID to link Child question to Parent Question.
Any clue on how to do this.
Thanks in advance
Prasanth

a. It is a report on table and one column is editable with a LOVThat is Tabular Form or Updatable report. Implies there is a ApplyMRU/ApplyMRD process to perform the update.
>
b. APEX 4.1
>
The solution will depend on your database design. You may need to review in the light of the page design you will do.
I don't think I will get into the code for this as it will be fairly nifty and will require a study of your database design.
At a high level:
a. Create a table(s) for keeping your questions, say Questions.
b. Next you need to decide how you want to store your "rules" for selecting questions based on prior responses. Rules may be built into the database design or external processing based on column(s) in the question rows.
c. Create a table for Responses. Populate it with the mandatory questions.
d. Base your Tabular form on the Responses table
e. Each time a use makes a selection in a row's LoV submit the page to loop back on to itself.
f. In OnSubmit processing, after the Responses table has been updated, add the relevant rows from your Questions table to the Responses table using your rules in a Page Process.
h. When the Form is displayed again the new questions will be displayed as the corresponding rows have been inserted into the Responses table in the process referred to above.
Of course, you will need to write some more code for situations where a user goes back and changes the Lov of a prior question that affects related questions....
Cheers,

Need help with conditional display

I found a older thread (704012) that explains how to conditionally display a link using style. Which is what I want to do. The part I'm having trouble with is that part of the instructions say to put
class="row_has_values_#HAS_VALUES#"
in the Link Attributes which I have done. I also have a column in the report called HAS_VALUES and I'm properly populating it in my select. I know because I left it displayed while I'm testing. I can run the report and I have Y's and N's showing up in that column but the conditional part does not work. When I look at the page source (below) I see that in the html the #HAS_VALUES# has not been replaced by the actual Y or N. I think that's where I'm having trouble? I think it might work if there was a Y or N in that but I don't understand why that didn't happen.
<tr class="odd"><td headers="LINK"><a href="f?p=125:3:12628966088981::NO::P3_PROGRAM_KEY:2" class="row_has_values_#HAS_VALUES#"><img src="/i/e2.gif" border="0"></a></td><td align="left"

I've continued to snoop around and see lots of posts on conditional display in reports. Common desire I guess. I saw some stuff that I interpreted to suggest that what I'm trying to do may not work in interactive reports, only in classic reports. Does that sound familiar?
That would certainly apply to anything template-related. However there have been enhancements to IRs (like adding HTML Expressions) that might supersede information in older posts. If you provide a link to the sources you've found and the APEX version you're using someone will be able to confirm whether that information is relevant.
Many other posts on doing things conditionally in reports seemed to lean towards "selecting" the html based on data values and then just letting that get put in the report column. That looks promising but sure is a bit ugly. I've very little apex experience but lots of mod pl/sql and that sort of solution was pretty common when I did stuff with it. I saw a little suggesting using templates as a solution but I'll confess to not understanding it at all.
As I pointed out in the original thread, if the conditional display of the link is in any way security related then CSS or JS/jQuery methods are not acceptable. If the user is not supposed to be able to click the link or see any data contained in it, then you have to use a method that ensures that the link element never reaches the browser.
Hard-coding the link HTML in the report query is the common approach, but is as you say a bit ugly. Using a custom report template (my favourite APEX subject) enables clean separation of the report query, conditional logic and HTML structure. If you know HTML then you're advised to get familiar with using templates in APEX. You'll find this a major advance on the PL/SQL web toolkit. What is it that you're not understanding about using templates?

Conditional display in a SQL-Report/Report Region

Hi,
here I have an example for "Conditional display in a SQL-Report/Report Region". I figured it out in Firefox 3.6.2 using Firebug as development tool on Apex 3.2.1.00.12.
First you have to put the following javascript code in the Page HTML-Header:
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
Maybe you have to modify the "vd_getBody" function. I'm searching the table cell with having the class "t10data". When you use another theme, there's maybe another class used.
Second is, that you set an static id for your report region. I prefer this structure:
R<app-id><page-id><seq> (Raaaaappppsss) e.g. R094260001010.
First example is to turn off the onMouse-Effect. Maybe on the first or last column definition you put this code in the "HTML-Expression" area:
<script>ex_conditional_tr('R094260001010', #ROWNUM#);</script>#ID#This will call the example function ex_conditional_tr with the parameter
a) the region id
b) the rownum (as oracle always starts with 1 this is the first data row [rownum=0 is the table header row])
Second example is the conditional formatting of a table cell. Put this in the HML-Expression area:
<script>ex_conditional_td('R094260001010', #ROWNUM#, #COLNUM#-1);</script>#ENAME#This will call the example function ex_conditional_tr with the parameter
a) the region id
b) the rownum
c) the cellnum (here we have to subtract 1 to get the "real" cell index)
The "ex_conditional" functions are just a representation of how to get the row or cell node.
Hope this help a bit.
Tom

I would use a CASE statement in the select....
each CASE would be an img src tag for a different button if the button is an image.
does that make sense? I can include an example if you would like...

Displaying record based on the condition in Crystal report

Hi All,
I want to display certain records in crystal based on some condition.
For example,
If I am having 5 student records like,
Name Mark1 Mark2 Mark3 Total
aaa      40       50       60      150
abc      30       60       40       130
tcr        25      25        25       75
Now in table i have only 4 fields (STUNAME, MARK1, MARK2, MARK3).
I have to calculate the total at runtime and if total is greater than 150, then actual record should display in report.
For example, I can use formula to calculate total but I can calculate total only after each record prints. But i want to calculate total internally only it should display in report if condition satisfies. I dont want to keep one more field for total in crystal report.
Please help me on this.

If the filter is not "pushed" down to the database, then Crystal will pull all of the data into memory and then filter it there. This is not a big deal if you only have a couple of records, but it can significantly slow down a report that is pulling in more than a few records.
An alternative, if your report is just linking tables in the Database Expert, would be to create a SQL Expression that adds the three fields together. Using this in the Select Expert WILL push the condition down to the database.
If you're using a command instead of linking table, they you would add this to the Where clause of the comment. If you're using a stored proc instead of tables or a command, you would want to do this filter in the code for the stored proc.

Conditional display of list box in form (depends on other report column)

Hello,
i have one question regarding conditional display in forms.
I have a tabular form where only one column ("flag") is updateable, all other columns are visible only.
I changed the column "flag" from "standard report column" to "Select list (static lov)", which has the values "yes" and "no".
This works fine. But in the running form i want to display the list box only if the column "status" = 'ERROR'.
The column "status" can have the values 'ERROR' and 'OK'.
When one record has "status" = 'OK', the column "flag" should not display the list box (only empty column row),
when one record has "status" = 'ERROR" the column "flag" should display the list box.
The idea behind is that if a record has "status" = 'ERROR' i have the possibility to confirm that "error" and update the column "flag" with "YES". This should only be possible for errors.
This is my main problem.
I tried with conditional display, but this hides or shows the column for the whole report/form, not on record level...
The second problem then is, that if the column "flag" is changed to "YES" in case of column "status" = 'ERROR', then it should not be possible to change it again to 'NO". At the beginning it is 'NO', but once changed to 'YES' it should not be changeable any more.
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance,
Matthias

Hello Mike
your solution sounds good, but unfortunately it is not working.
None of my 2 columns are displayed, although i tried it as you wrote and the conditions should match...
But i am no sure if this can work. If so, the 2 columns must fuse to 1 column:
ID STATUS FLAG
1 ERROR yes/no => comes from column1
2 OK (null => comes from column2
so "FLAG" must display column1 and column2 in one column. is that possible?
regards,
Matthias

Conditional display of a column link in sql updateable report

Hi There,
I've attempted to look thru the Apex forum about using an Authorization Scheme in an SQL Query (Updateble Report) where I can conditionaly enable (display) a column link based upon a value in the report but alas I cannot find a solution.
What I have is a SQL Query (updateable report). What I want to achieve is dependant on the value of one of the columns in the report query conditionaly display a column link for the row being displayed. For example if the report dispayed the data from emp, dept only display a column link for rows where the deptno = 100 otherwise don't display the column link. Is this possible to achieve?
I've tried to define in the authorizatuon scheme in the where clause of an SQL Statement to reference the report column as #deptno# but this doesn't work.
TIA

Boketi,
I was unsuccessful yesterday in demoing what I believe you want to achieve. It appears that an authorization scheme will not process row by row within a standard report so as to allow a conditional display of a link or any other column attribute. You can conditionally display a column by the use of a page item but this method appears to be all or nothing.
I was successful when I coded the return of the empno via a Case statement but the Link still appeared even though there was no value (empno) to link with. So essence the link to you to a blank for with no PK to read the database by.
SELECT CASE WHEN deptno = 10 THEN empno ELSE NULL END empno,
       ename,
       job,
       hiredate,
       sal,
       comm,
       deptno,
       phone_nbr
FROM   empJeff

Conditional display column in report

Hi,
If we have a single row report of 30 columns, and I want to display only the one with any values but null and hide the null ones, Is there a way to do it?
It's the same issue discussed in this thread conditional display column in report
thanks,
Fadi.

Samara - I suspect there are a few ways to do this, but none obvious or very easy as far as I can see.
You can create dynamic SQL (as Arie and others have suggested) to only include the columns that are not null.
You can build and output the HTML directly to the page, choosing only to include the values that are not null.
You can create a set of conditions that you can apply to the report columns. A very crude example might be 30 hidden page items like 'SHOW_COL1' etc. (not great, I know), or perhaps you could set a hidden page item to a value like '01:02:03:'etc., with the number only being included if the value is not null (so that col3 being null gives you '01:02::04'etc.), so that the condition for each column is 'Text in expr 1 in contained in Item in expr 2', where expr 1 is '01' for column 1 etc.
Sorry, that is a very contrived example, but it's just to illustrate that there's generally a way of doing pretty much anything in APEX. You might create your item containing the comparison expression by requerying the data in this kind of way:
SELECT NVL2(column1, '01', '') || ':' || NVL2(column2, '02', '') || ':' etc.
FROM table
WHERE condition
However, wanting to create a single-row report with nulls hidden makes we wonder what you're actually trying to achieve and whether there's a better way? Could you use a series of page items, for example?
John.
