If you have a column named TEST_THIS_COLUMN and would like to have an alias named TEST_COLUMN_ONLY (due to naming conventions or just someone wanting to use another name) .... Is it possilble to have an alias to a column in Designer ????

Can anybody help me how do I design such report....

Hi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

Sharepoint 2013 designer assign to task with created by column failing

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you got exception when we assign a task to created by column in sharepoint 2013 designer workflow.
To troubleshoot the issue, I recommend to capture the created by field value in a variable.
You can add a "Set variable workflow" action and get the value of this field. Then, add a "Log on workflow history" action and log the value of the variable and see if it is capturing the right value. And in the task action, put the variable
on the user field and do some tests.
In addition, you need to make sure the variable return field as "string" or "Email Address”.
Here is a similar thread for you to take a look at:

If you don't explicitly specify a name for the output column, Oracle will try to generate one based on the input expression. If the name does not follow the normal rules for identifiers (one of which is that the name can't contain special symbols, like parentheses) then the name must be enclosed in double-quotes.
Notice that these rules are a little different from the rules about result sets. In the result set of a main query, for example, column names do not have to be unique, and a system-generated name like 'SUM(E.SALARY)" is acceptable.
Actually the book hasnt specfied the need for an alias at this place ...so i wanted to know why am getting this error ..I can't see which book you're reading. Post a quote. If the book is available on line, post a link, too.

How to display top 2 countries in 2 columns in Report Designer

Hello Gurus ,
I have a requirement where top 2 countries has to be displayed in two different columns in Report Designer.
is there are way to do that, i tried many differetn ways but was not successfull, apart from creating text variables and writing customer exit.
I appreciate your help
Thanks,
Kumar

Hi,
I am not sure what version you are, from version 9.3 I think there is a "Top" function, just highlight the row, tick the option for "Top", set the number and the column
Failing that if you need to use rank could you not hide the column.
Cheers

How to create table columns dynamically ?

Hi All,
I am working on an SSRS report that will show sales in the past 5 years. If the user selected to view sales of past 3 years he will only see 3 columns. so How can I create table columns dynamically at run time and how can I make sure that their dimensions
will adjust to fit the report page size.

Flexible column alias name?

Hi
Is that a way to assign the column alias name at run time.
Example: I want to sums a column and label it based on the current year.
For 2007, I should have:
SELECT
‘A’
‘B’,
‘C’,
sum(RESERVE_AMT) AS RESERVE_AMT_2007
FROM table_name
For 2006 I should have:
SELECT
‘A’
‘B’,
‘C’,
sum(RESERVE_AMT) AS RESERVE_AMT_2006
FROM table_name
For 2005 I should have:
SELECT
‘A’
‘B’,
‘C’,
sum(RESERVE_AMT) AS RESERVE_AMT_2005
FROM table_name
Etc.
For some reason I need a sql (something like above) in the procedure to be run in each year and populate a column labeled the current year concatenated with a fix string such as RESERVE_AMT_2007.
Thanks.

I've just modify your code and see what it shows --

ORA-00904 when use column alias in Record Group Query

Is it possible to use column aliases in Record Group Queries?
I have a query that runs fine in SQL*Developer, but gives me runtime errors when I use it as a Record Group Query.
When I use it as a Record Group Query, the Form compiles, but at runtime I receive the following errors:
FRM-40502: ORACLE error: unable to read list of values
when I use Help - Display Error, I see:
ORA-00904:"CHILDNAME":invalid identifier
The query is something like this
select decode(complex stuff here) as "childname" ....
I've tried it with and without the double quotes surrounding the alias name, and have also tried it without using the "as" keyword.
I would appreciate any suggestions or insights. I'm using Forms 9.0.4.
Thanks.

It looks like this is caused by bug 725059:
"FILTER BEFORE DISPLAY" DOESN'T WORK IF LOV HAS COLUMN ALIASES (TRIAGE1098)
My LOV does have the Filter Before Display turned on. Here's the text of the bug:
IF an LOV is created with column aliases in the select statement, (eg: select ename emp_name from emp) and the LOV property "Filter Before Display" is "Yes", THEN when you attempt to filter the LOV at runtime, (eg: type '%' then press the 'Find' button) the internal WHERE clause that forms sends to the database is: WHERE column_alias LIKE '%%' This is incorrect syntax. A client-side sqlnet trace shows this. The correct syntax should be: WHERE column LIKE '%%' . The incorrect syntax results in no rows returned. However no error is displayed by forms to the user.

Using column alias for calculations in same select list

Hi All,
I want to use a calculated column of query to create further calculated columns in same query using column alias. I have to do so because the calculation is too big to write it everytime.
e.g.
Select decode(Month, 1, Tran_January, 2, Tran_February, ....) as MonthTran,
Month, Year,
round(MonthTran/Intrest_rate, 2) as Amount <---(using previous alias)
from ledger;
Thanks in advance,
Mona

Probably the easiest way of doing this is to write an inline view, viz
SELECT l.Month
       , l.Year
       , round(mt.MonthTran/l.Intrest_rate, 2) AS Amount
FROM   ledger l
       , (SELECT x.pk_col, decode(Month, 1, Tran_January, 2, Tran_February, ....) AS MonthTran
          FROM ledger x) mt
WHERE l.pk_colunm = mt.pk_colunm
; If you have any criteria in a WHERE clause on ledger you shouldn't need to repeat them providing LEDGER does have a primary key column. You may need to tweak it a bit for performance, if LEDGER is a big table.

Error while creating a column in master

Hi,
You have the choice between xml or pdf, in later versions of designer you can choose with a dropdown on the email button Object palette, the "Submit As";
In earlier version you had to edit the XML Source and change the format from xml to pdf (or vice-versa);

Creating PDF forms in LiveCycle Designer 8.0

I post detail at Software
nha khoa Group
Question on a quirk I have noticed when creating a form using LiveCycle Designer 8 and was wondering if there was a way to change this.
I will use a Text Field for an area where I want the person who will fill out the form to add comments/questions. I widen the box out so the user will have area to type their comments in.
In the properties of for that Text Field, on the "Object" tab I check the box to allow multiple lines and I limit the length to the visible area.
That all works fine. The quirk is when I test the form and then click in that area to type for the text field the cursor always starts in the middle of that Text Field area. Is there a way to get the cursor to start at the top of the text box when someone fills out the form?

Post your question in the LiveCycle Designer forum.

How do I create multiple columns with bullets in pages

I'm trying to figure out how to create multiple columns within a document in which I bullet information...

At the point you wish to change to two columns, Insert > Columns and then in the Layout Inspector, select the number of columns. After the insertion point, you will also need to insert another Column Change to return the following paragraphs to single column.
Then Select the text to be bulleted and in the Text Inspector > List tab select the type of bullets.
Note: This creates two columns that flow together. This can be tricky if you add any text later.
If you wish to ensure alignment, create a two column text table and remove the lines with the Graphic Inspector > Lines > No Lines option and insert your text in each column and apply the bullets as above.
This will create a text box - you then need to ensure it moves with the text by electing "Object Moves With Text" in the Wrpa Inspector.
