Creating dynamic columns in rdlc report

Hi,
I want to generate an rdlc report where columns are not fixed and decided on the basis of user input.
So I can not design the report before and it should be done dynamically at run time. I have the data in datatable.
Can anyone help how to achieve this.

Hi,
You can do this by creating a crosstab report so that the column heading is from an item in the folder.
You cannot have dynamic headings for a table report.

Is it possible to show/hide dynamically columns in RDLC form?

We need to show/hide dynamically columns in our Report RDLC form based by the user desire needs.
We need by the predefined checkboxes to set which columns should be seen and which should be hidden.
Is it possible in RDLC form to make it "show/hide columns dynamically" with any way?

Depends on what you mean dynamically, you still need to press the view report button.
What you can do is right click on the column you want to be able to hide/display in design mode,
click "Column visibilty", choose "show or hide based on an expression" then in your expression base your true or false on a boolean parameter for each column

Hi Sushma,
This piece of code might be useful.
The following sections will help you to understand the steps required to define a Dynamic ALV.
Following symbol signifies:
Þ                    Important
Main Steps Required
The following are the main steps that are to be performed for defining a dynamic Alv
1.       Defining a field catalog
2.       Defining the dynamic table
3.       Filling data into the table
4.       Displaying ALV list
Defining a field catalog
The purpose of defining a field catalog first in case of Dynamic ALV is somewhat different than in case of normal ALV. In case of Dynamic ALV the field catalog is used to define the final internal table that will hold the data, and would be used to display the final output.
Þ It is very important to remember that the field catalog table be refreshed first, else it might give an error.
For example:
DATA: T_FIELDCAT TYPE LVC_T_FCAT,
L_FIELDCAT TYPE LVC_S_FCAT.
   Refresh T_FIELDCAT.
CLEAR L_FIELDCAT.
L_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = 'LIFNR'.
L_FIELDCAT-INTTYPE = ''.
L_FIELDCAT-OUTPUTLEN = 10.
L_FIELDCAT-COLTEXT = TEXT-002.
APPEND L_FIELDCAT TO T_FIELDCAT.
Defining the dynamic table.
This table will hold the final data that needs to be displayed. To declare the table the following things need to be done.
Declare a field symbol
Displaying Alv List
This is done in the same way as we do for normal Alv. Call function REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and pass the field catalog table in the export parameters and the dynamic table in Tables.
Reward Points if it is helpful.

Building dynamic columns in BO Report (BO 4.0)

Hi All
To start with I am new to BO and using reporting tool
I have a requirement to create a WEBI report which contain a table with a feature to hide / remove columns based on input selection. ( dynamic columns)
I tried to do this by following concept
In my test scenario table has 3 columns. user will select which columns to show when refreshing the report.
I created 4 tables .
table 1: column 1, column 2 and colum 3
table 2: column 1, column 2
table 3: column 1, column 3
table 4: column 2, column 3
all tables were overlapped in display.
I am trying to hide the table using the property which is available in table properties "Hide when following formula is true"
to display table 1: formula is as follows
=UserResponse("Enter Column") = "column1;column2;column3"
The problem doing this way is
1. selection should happen in a given order
2. If there are mulitple columns , it doesn't make sense to create multiple tables as combination of columns increases.
Is there a better formula to set using user response to achieve the above.
Is there any better way to achieve the above generally.
any suggestion and guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Guruprasad,
PFB link to a good explanation how to display columns dynamically.
http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/09/dynamic-measures-in-webi-on-any-data.html
hide formula for different tables will not be easy when you have more number of columns.
another option is conditional formatting of columns based on a variable value. ie, indirectly hiding it by making background and value color white and keeping dynamic width for column.

Display Dynamic Columns in Crystal Report

Hello,
We are currently using Crystal Reports XI and connecting to an ADO .NET XML file as our data source. In this data souce we have a data table called IDENTIFIERS where every column, except for the ones used for joining tables is dynamic. These column will be different for each database thats its run against.
Is there any way to display these dynamic columns without having consistent column names?
You help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Thanks Carl,
We do have control over the data table and a solution like this had crossed my mind. But this might not be practical for other reports that use this data table.
I think another solution would be to create a new data tabl that has all identifiers on their own row as opposed to columns.
id
dentifier
identifier_name

Exchange 2010 SP3 Create Dynamic DL for Direct Reports

I am not sure this is possible but if there is a will there is a way I guess.
System: Exchange 2010 SP3 on Windows Server 2008 R2
I am trying to see if there is a way to create dynamic DLs for Manager(s) direct reports.
Example: Manager has 5 people that report directly to them, is there a way to make an dynamic email distribution list that will poll the direct reports as people leave or hired.
I know I can create one manually but some depts. may have high turnover rates which increase overhead so I am just trying to simplify the process. I of course googled my question but not getting the results I intended.
Thanks.

hi,
as from above i understand you are asking about creating an custom attribute and then referencing them .. if yes please check below command
Get-Mailbox -OrganizationalUnit Sales | Set-Mailbox CustomAttribute1 "SalesOU"Now you can create an e-mail address policy for all recipients that have the CustomAttribute1 property that equals SalesOU, as shown in this example.
New-EmailAddressPolicy -Name "Sales" -RecipientFilter { CustomAttribute1 -eq "SalesOU"} -EnabledEmailAddressTemplates "SMTP:%s%[email protected] check this.. http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee423541%28v=exchg.150%29.aspx
MARK AS USEFUL/ANSWER IF IT DID

How to create a dynamic RTF report which creates dynamic columns based on dynamic column selection from a table?

Hi All,
Suppose I have table, whose structure changes frequently on daily basis.
For eg. desc my_table gives you following column name on Day 1
SQL > desc my_table;
Output
Name
Age
Phone
On Day 2, two more columns are added, viz, Address and Salary.
SQL > desc my_table;
Output
Name
Age
Phone
Address
Salary
Now I want to create an Dynnamic RTF report which would fetch data from ALL columns from my_table on daily basis. For that I have defined a concurrent program with XML as output type and have attached a data template/data definition to it which takes in XML as input and gives final output of conc program in EXCEL layout. I am able to do this for constant number of columns, but dont know how to do it when the number of columns to be displayed changes dynamically.
For Day 1 my XML file should be like this.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataTemplate name="XYZ" description="iExpenses Report" Version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[
SELECT Name
,Age
,Phone
FROM my_table
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_my_table" source="Q2">
<element name="Name" value="Name" />
<element name="Age" value="Age" />
<element name="Phone" value="Phone" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
And my Day 1, EXCEL output from RTF template should be like this.
Name     Age     Phone
Swapnill     23     12345
For Day 2 my XML file should be like this. With 2 new columns selected in SELECT clause.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<dataTemplate name="XYZ" description="iExpenses Report" Version="1.0">
<dataQuery>
<sqlStatement name="Q2">
<![CDATA[
SELECT Name
,Age
,Phone
,Address
,Salary
FROM my_table
]]>
</sqlStatement>
</dataQuery>
<dataStructure>
<group name="G_my_table" source="Q2">
<element name="Name" value="Name" />
<element name="Age" value="Age" />
<element name="Phone" value="Phone" />
<element name="Address" value="Address" />
<element name="Salary" value="Salary" />
</group>
</dataStructure>
</dataTemplate>
And my Day 2, EXCEL output from RTF template should be like this.
Name     Age     Phone     Address     Salary
Swapnill     23     12345         Madrid     100000
Now, I dont know below things.
Make the XML dynamic as in on Day 1 there must be 3 columns in the SELECT statement and on Day 2, 5 columns. I want to create one dynamic XML which should not be required to be changed if new columns are added in my_table. I dont know how to create this query and also create their corresponding elements below.
Make the RTF template dyanamic as in Day1 there must 3 columns in EXCEL output and on Day 2, 5 columns. I want to create a Dynamic RTF template which would show all the columns selected in Dynamic XML.I dont know how the RTF will create new XML tags and how it will know where to place it in the report. Means, I can create RTF template on Day 1, by loading XML data for 3 columns and placing 3 XML tags in template. But how will it create and place tags for new columns on Day 2?
Hope, you got my requirement, its a challenging one. Please let me know how I can implement the required solution using RTF dynamically without any manual intervention.
Regards,
Swapnil K.

Hi All,
I am able to fulfil above requirement. Now I am stuck at below point. Need your help!
Is there any way to UPDATE the XML file attached to a Data Definition (XML Publisher > Data Definition) using a standard package or procedure call or may be an API from backend? I am creating an XML dynamically and I want to attach it to its Data Definition programmatically using SQL.
Please let me know if there is any oracle functionality to do this.
If not, please let me know the standard directories on application/database server where the XML files attached to Data Definitions are stored.
For eg, /$APPL_TOP/ar/1.0/sql or something.

Creating Dynamic Column Headings in Interactive Reports

Hi,
any ideas how I can alter the name of a column in an interactive report.?
I have columns whose usage is defined by the end user and consequently want to have their own meaningful column header displayed whenever this column is referenced.
I can get column headers to change in standard reports by using PL/Sql to return the column headers. In Forms, I use shortcuts (these don't seem to work for reports, I wish they did) but I'm at a loss on how to achieve this with IR's.
Thanks
Mike

I wrote a script(application process) that updated the table that holds column name. I changed the display name, not the column name. I cant remember the actual table, but i found it by looking at the code that create the "APEX Application Page Ir Col" View.
I dont know if this is best practice, but it works for me.

Dynamic columns in crosstab report

Hello,
I'm using CR 2008.
I've created a dynamic crosstab report. The number of columns could be any, depending on the data.
I need to replace the original column headers with the formula, so the headers would look like this:
Set1 Set2 Set3... etc., where 1, 2, 3... etc. are the column indexes (or just sequential numbers).
Could you please recommend me a formula for it? I'm not sure how to insert these sequential numbers to the column headers.
Thank you.

Please re-post if this is still an issue or purchase a case and have a dedicated support engineer work with you directly:
