Conditional Formatting in Discoverer 10g

Hello All,
I have created a workbook and applied conditional formatting to use colour coding basis come conditions.
Now when I export the workbook to excel, formatting is not retained. All colour coding is gone. Is this expected or am i missing something ?
Thanks,

Hi
Can I make a recommendation for a great Excel plug-in for relational databases? It is called Excel-DB and is available from here: http://excel-db.net
It is priced at only $395 per user, with a 20% discount for 10 or more. I bought it myself about two weeks ago and have been amazed by its ease of use.
If anyone here does decide to buy it please put the code ASC on your purchase screen. That will let them know who recommended the product to you.
You can also see demos of its functionality by clicking here:
http://www.excel-db.net/demos.htm
I've not seen a better database plug-in for Excel in all my 25 years of working in the industry. A blog posting is in the works but for now you'll have to follow these links and take a look for yourself.
Best wishes

  • Conditional formatting in the chart  does not work after 10g to 11g upgrade

    W e have upgraded from 10g to 11.1.1.6.8 recently. For all the reports conditional formatting for charts is not working for us which used to work in 10g.
    While researching , i have found that advanced xml needs to be modified. So i changed xml where there is 'untypedLiteral' to 'decimal' and saved the report. Inspite of saving , xml wouldnt change . It still shows as untypedLiteral.
    I also tried to delete the conditional format and recreate again. But still it wouldn't work.
    Please advise.

  • Discoverer conditional formating

    Hello,
    I am trying to establish if I can campare 2 values at runtime and alter the background colour based on the result i.e. IF A < B THEN bg_color = 'RED'. Do I need to do this through a PL/SQL function as standard conditional formatting seems quite limited.
    Thanks for any help.

    Hi,
    No, you can only add conditional formatting based on the value in the cell. So for example, you can create a calculation CASE WHEN A>B THEN 1 ELSE 0 END. The create conditional formatting setting the text and background to red if the calculated cell is 1. Then you will have a highlighted cell on the row where A>B but the rest of the row will not be highlighted.

  • Differences between  Oracle Discoverer 10g and 11g (EBS & Desktop)

    We are in the process of upgrading from Oracle Discoverer 10g testing to Oracle Discoverer 11g.
    We have had several requests (from functional users) for documentation that might reflect the changes in this release level. Does anyone have relevant documentation that might help explain what has changed so that they can be better prepared.

    We are in the process of going from 10 desktop to 11 plus. I do not like it as other end-users I have talked to don't either. In desktop, I could have multiple reports open at one time, move tabs from one report to another so I wouldn't have to rebuild the report again. Also, there are times I have 3 or more sessions of desktop running with multiple reports running in them. In plus, I am limited to one session and one report. That slows down productivity big time. In desktop, exporting crosstabs to excel is more user friendly than plus. For desktop, it will fill in the cells below with the data above it if it changes. In plus, it looks like a pivot table. I have read other posts on how to work around that, but not always functional. Using Dense_Rank() works sometimes depending on how the report is written. IT is researching another way but haven't heard back from the consultants. Or, I will have to modify all my excel files with formulas to do that for me. Also in desktop, I can select all and copy paste the results into excel and all data comes in. The row and column headers, page items and even the title section will paste into excel. Plus only gives you the data, no row or column headers. So I have to export it every time I need the data. I have formatted excel files that all I need to do is copy paste and data flows beautifully. As for organizing and saving reports, desktop is much better. I can save reports out on our network under different folders so I can find them faster by topic. Granted, if that directory is an open one, anyone can change/delete it. In plus, the only advantage of saving it on the database is I can sort and search for reports or users. If you make any changes in plus and then walk away from your desk, plus will shut down after a certain time period. If you didn't save it, you have to start over. Don't know if this is something IT can fix???
    As we see it, plus is a step back in technology. I hope someone can change that opinion. Don't know if we are not getting the best support from whoever is working with us (Oracle or 3rd party) or we are missing something???? If so, please share.
    Thanks.

    Please advice,
    Sushant

    Well, if I had to do it, here's how I'd start.
    1. Get the SQL from the Oracle Report and then create a database view that's more generic based on the SQL but still gets the answers.
    For example, you'd not code many conditions, etc. but the database view would be pointing to the correct Oracle Apps tables / views.
    Once you've got the view, bring it in to Disco Admin, etc. and create a report from it that now adds the extra conditions needed. That way you can use the underlying concept without hard coding things like dates, etc. which you would ask the user at run time.
    However ... as you may well know ... Oracle Reports can do some 'strange and/or powerful things' on the fly and, for example, it may be something like a temporary table generated for the report, etc. so may become a much bigger issue.
    2. If you have NoetixViews views then they'll most likely already have the views for these queries already created as they're reasonable for what's needed in an Oracle environment.
    3. I'd see if there is already a pre-defined BIS view that covers this as well. Again, you're in an area that's pretty popular so if a BIS view already covers much of the same info then you've got a create view 'head start' already. Check views owned by Apps starting with the application plus FV or FG (the one you'd really want) such as: GLFG_Budgets_To_Actuals to see what I mean.

  • Conditional Formating - Place Image above or below text

    Hi
    In OBIEE 10G I can display any images in conditional formating. But the image placement is reduced to "left", "right", "image only". Does's anybody has any idea how to place the images below or above the text?
    Any help is appreciated.
    Thank you

    User,
    If you knew the Cascading Style SHeet (CSS) elements that produced the HTML output placing the image to the left or right then you could modify or format the values using the CSS option of "format values..." from the column's context menu to increase the padding or create a break.
    Otherwise there is no way to accomplish this from the basic front-end options.
    Cheers,
    Christian

  • 11G Conditional Formatting : bug?

    Hello,
    I need some info on the conditional formatting in 11G. Has anyone seen behaviour like this before, probably a bug?
    Just for testing purposes I've a column with the values lower, higher and between.
    Initially I've added some background colouring based on the values of the column.
    So far so good.
    But when I add a measure to my report and create a pivot table, my conditional formatting is ok within the pivot view, but no longer in my initial table where it's lost?
    Any one an idea about this kind of behaviour?

    Yes you can conditionally format the individual cells.
    Take a look at the guide (link provided) and search for "Cell Highlighting":

  • Check for null values in conditional formatting when no rows returned.

    I have a report that is showing facts for different months.
    For some months there is no row in the facts table.
    But in the report, I have to show a * when there is no data.
    If there is a row in the facts table with null value for data, the conditional formatting successfully shows a * when data is null.
    But when no row is present in the facts for a particular month , conditional formatting is unable to detect any null, as none exist.
    How we can check that no rews returned for a particular month and then show *?
    thanks

  • How do i use conditional formatting to edit the color of other selected other cells?

    I have been playing around with the conditional formatting feature of Numbers, I have figured out how to change font and background color of the cell i am working with.
    However what i am looking to do is apply a background color formatting to another cell (i.e. F2) if conditions are met in (B2).
    the end game is this,
    I want to make a column of check boxes, and using contional formating i want adject cells to change color (I.e. the example above: if (B2) is a check box, then when unchecked the reffered Cell (F2) does nothing, but when check the color of (F2) changes)
    I can make this happen with Logic equations, the give (i.e. F2) some letter or number value, then using conditional formats i can have the color change. but this leaves that particular cell useless to me (i.e. F2) I am not free to enter or edit text in that cell. (i.e. =IF(B2=TRUE,"Paid","Due") ----> then add a conditional statement that chages color when the value is either "Paid" or "Due")
    How do i have F2 change color, when B2 is checked and still retain the ability to enter information (or potential have another formula) in F2? (The Cell is not used up by "Paid" or  "Due" it is editable just like any other cell)
    is there anyway to change cell characteristics like font, color, and background color inside a formula, because in that way i would be able build it manually
    i tried using the formula editor inside the conditional format pane, but the only infor it will allow me to retain is one partictular cell. i cannot add modifiers like "+" or "=" or anything else. what is that space used for then?
    thanks for anyones help

    MC,
    You can do what you want in Numbers. It requires an auxiliary column and it's a bit tedious to set up because conditional formatting by comparison to another cell isn't relative, so each cell has to be programmed individually with no option to Paste or Fill to other cells in a range.
    For explanation purposes, let's say your checkbox is A2, your cell to be conditionally formatted is B2, and your auxiliary cell is  C2. To have the format of B2 determined by the checkbox status in A2, you will:
    1. In C2 write: =IF(A, B, " ") The " " is any string or value that you don't expect to encounter in B normally, and using the space character means you don't have to worry about having it visible if C is in View.
    2. In B2 use Conditional Format: "Equal To" cell C2 and set your text and fill attributes to be used when the box in A is checked.
    That's it. Do that for every cell in the range.

  • How do I apply conditional formatting using SharePoint Designer 2013?

    I'm attempting to apply Conditional Formatting to a list view web part via SharePoint Designer 2013, and I can't seem to find the option to do so.
    I've a horrible feeling I'm just being daft, but here's what I've done so far:
    - Created a new page (I've tried both web part and wiki)
    - Added a list "App part" and saved the page
    - Checked-out and opened the page via Designer
    - Clicked the "Edit file" option
    - Selected the XsltListViewWebPart tag
    So far I can't find any options to add it. If I open the Conditional Formatting pane via the View menu it tells me the following:
    > To use conditional formatting, select an HTML tag, data value, or
    > range of text, and then click Create to specify formatting options.
    I've tried selecting the web part tags in all manner of combinations with no luck. In previous version I would have simply selected the previewed data rows in the now-absent Preview pane.
    Am I missing something?

    Create and edit a Wiki Page
    Click Inset > Data View and Select “Empty Data View”
    Click Inside the <DataSources> tags </DataSources>
    Click Insert > Data Source “Your Data Source Name”
    Hold down Ctrl button and select the Rows in the order you want them to appear from your “Data Source Details” Window.
    After the Rows are selected click on the drop down “Insert Selected Fields as…” at the top of the “Data Source Details” Window. 
    Select “Multiple Item View” option (This will create the xsl where we need to add the conditional formatting to)
    Find the <tr> tag that contains the Row Data.  Insert the following right below the <tr> tag:
    <xsl:attribute name="style">
    <xsl:if test="@FieldName = 'Something'">background-color: #FF0000;</xsl:if>
    </xsl:attribute>
    I hope this helps.  I figured this out by using the old 2010 Designer to figure out the where to place the code and how to do this.

  • Sharepoint Foundation 2013 - Conditional formatting

    Hey all,
    I'm trying to pull of conditional formatting for the outcome of a "Yes or No" column within a Custom List, however all the searching I have done shows that it seems to have been removed in Sharepoint 2013 without using a Jquery (I'm having problems
    getting my head around Sharepoint 2013 at the moment, dont want to add Jqueries to it as well lol).
    Have I missed something stupidly easy? I have http://www.cdpdev.com/Blog/Post/7/Conditional-Formatting-in-SharePoint-2013 but it seems to be using Sharepoint
    2013 with Sharepoint designer 2010 which I dont really want to have to do as the will be in time handed over the my 'manager' who will self manage and using 2 different pieces of software is kinda out of the question.
    Regards
    JB

    Hey @ITechbrij
    it seems the above post doesn't work for Sharepoint 2013 as I'm getting a syntax error but this maybe due to me not being able to find the formula box so put it into the "Column Validate" section as I'm missing the formula box that is shown in the 2010 screenshots.
    If this is not possible what do you suggest? Going with the Sharepoint designer 2010 approach? As I cant find how to do it in 2013 and wouldn't know where the start with a jquery lol.

  • Report generation toolkit conditional format - how to?

    Hi
    We are using the Report generation toolkit (2010 version), and have a question regarding this tool.
    I see functions for setting the number format, but not a conditional format. Does this not exist?
    http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/372120A-01/lvoffice/excel_set_cell_format/
    This page refers to an example which from the name sets a conditional format. However as I understand it, this example is setting a custom number, not a conditional format.

    Hi,
    the simplest way to do this I guess you can provide a template for your Excel sheet, where you can set the conditional format there.
    From LabVIEW you can just send the values into this sheet-template.
    Maybe you can try these if you want

  • SSRS 2012 Conditional Formatting Color Issues When Exporting to Excel

    Hi all,
    We recently upgraded to SQL 2012 from SQL2008 R2. I'm having a strange issue with SSRS2012.
    One of the report has conditional formattings on cell background colors. Everything works fine when render the report in browser or preview mode. However, the conditional formatting stop working when export the report to Excel (no issues if
    export to pdf). All cells are high-lightened with pre-defined color although it should only high-lighten those cells that fulfil the condition.
    Has someone encountered this issue before ? Thanks for any help.

    Hi ZZ02,
    I have test the scenario in my testing environment, however, everything goes well when exporting to Excel format. The issue might be related to the expression for the conditional background color. To make further analysis, please post the expression as well
    as the report design structure.
    Additionally, in SQL Server 2012 Reporting Services, the Excel rendering extension renders a report to the native format of Microsoft Excel 2007-2010, the format of which is ExcelOpenXML. By default, the previous version of the Excel rendering extension,
    compatible with Microsoft Excel 2003, is disabled. At this time, I suggest that you enable the Excel 2003 rendering extension by modifying the RSReportServer.config file. After that, the Excel 2003 rendering format will be available on report manager (not
    available in Report Designer). So, please export the report from report manager and check the result again.

  • Problem with Conditional Formatting

    When I use a an if end if statement to conditionally format a field I end up with double spacing between the rows. For example I have the following if statement:
    <?if:@RealNum!=’0.000000’ or @ColCnt=’c1000’?> the field here<?end if?>
    With just the field there is just a single space between the rows but when I add in the if statement the rows get double spaced.
    Can anyone please help me to figure out why this happens?
    Thanks,
    Stephanie

    check whether you added any enter character in the word in that column.
    if so, delete that.
    try this
    <?if@inlines:@RealNum!=’0.000000’ or @ColCnt=’c1000’?> the field here<?end if?>if not working drop me the template and xml to my id in profile.will have a look at it.
