CSV download

I have one filed Notes on which i have a tooltip.for Notes filed have two field one is for displaying purpose which is truncated and another one is field containing whole text use for CSV download.
things work first time fine if the use request=CSV for field which i want to download and not display,but if I do some changes in select column list of Interactive report then that column is vanish from the CSV download.
Thanks.

I think your explanation is not good enough. You should explain your problem better. Maybe an example at apex.oracle.com would be the best.

Getting no data found error while CSV download

Hi,
I have a report generated from the PL/SQL returning the query and I enabled the CSV Download option. But, when I try downloading the report contents using CSV download option, the excel sheet contains message "no data found". I enabled sorting and sum on few columns. Is it anywhere related to CSV download? Any solution would be really helpful..
Thanks,
Prabhakar

Thanks for the help!! yep, it is indeed the wrong session state value. In the report, I was modifying the value to display the report, hence when CSV download is given, it was taking wrong session state value. So, giving "no data found" error. Probably, this may help some people.

Header and footer on a csv download

Hi
Is there an easy way to add an extra header and footer to a csv download ?
What the user wants is a csv of the format
New heading --- the additional heading
col name, col name ..... -- the existing column names
value, value ..... -- the existing values
New footer -- some new text footer
I have tried break formatting but have had no success. The csv produces perfectly but I can't get the additional lines added !

No unfortunately I have not found the time to do a blog yet.
Create a blank page and create an AFTER HEADER pl/sql process.
Then add code like the following, changing query as needed
declare
   cursor result_cur is
      select empno, ename, job
        from emp;
begin
   htp.init; -- Wipe out the buffer
   owa_util.mime_header ('application/excel',false);
   htp.p('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="FormResults.csv"');
   owa_util.http_header_close;
   -- write your header
   htp.p('This is my header');
   htp.p(' ');
   -- write out the column names
   htp.print ( 'Emp Num, Employee Name, Job' );
   --write out each row
   for it in result_cur loop
      htp.print ( '"'||it.empno||'","'||it.ename||'","'||it.job||'"' );
   end loop;
   -- write out footer
   htp.p(' ');
   htp.p('This is my footer');
   -- Send an error code so that the
   -- rest of the HTML does not render
   htmldb__application.g_unrecoverable_error := true;
end;you can call this by making it the redirect target of a button or by adding something like the following in the footer section of your report region assuming the page you created the above process on was page 9
<a href="f?p=APP_ID.:9:&SESSION.">Click here to download CSV</a>sorry the code above shows a # and does not show the f p syntax url which should be f followed by a ?p=&AMP;APP_ID.:9&AMP;:SESSION.

3.1 IRR download CSV behaves different than 3.0.1 CSV download

I am generating some links dynamically in the select statements for some of my reports (i.e. select decode(REGULAR_EXPRESSION_KEY,
null,'-NO RE-',
"a href="f?p=&APP_ID.:2:... )
Note: I changed the example a bit so that it would display and not be interpreted...
The download to CSV in my 3.0.1 automatically stripped this HTML out of the download to CSV.
The CSV Download in the Interactive Reports of 3.1 did not strip the html. All of this HTML is downloaded into the CSV file.
Is there a way to get this 3.1 Interactive download to CSV to behave the same way it worked with the 3.0.1 download to CSV?
Thanks,
Steve

Hi Gurus,
I updated one of my small apex application to use interactive report, but I also encountered this kind of
'cannot export to CSV' problem, it is so bad, we need to export to Excel all the time! I have to give up my upgrading and remade it with classic report, though many cool stuffs with interactive report, pitty!
Ok, I will try to use your method to work around this problem, that may give me some kind of hope.
Hope you can improve this much more in the later release.
Anyway, 3.1 is very cool though, but also if you can more simply the Blob founction .

Need the selected filters in the Interactive Report CSV download

A CSV download from the IR shows the table data.
I need a mechanism to insert the Filter criteria selected by the user within the CSV download.
Basically I have a search screen which brings the user to the interactive report and I would like to capture the search criteria the user entered in the CSV download.
Thank
Sumit

Hi,
This might help

Custom Apex theme prohobits CSV Download link

Hi,
I'm using Apex 3.2.1.00.12; Database version = 11.1.0.7.0.
A customized theme is used for the application.
For a reports region I added CSV Download link, but it is not showing when i run the page.
Please let me know if any settings to be changed for the page/theme/template.
Thanks & Regards.

Hi
In the report template (not the region template), there is a substitution string available called #CSV_LINK#
You need this somewhere in the template in order for the link to appear. For exmaple you may have something like this in the 'After Rows' section of the template...
</table><div class="someClass">#CSV_LINK#</div></td>
</tr>
#PAGINATION#
</table>Cheers

Problem With Saved IR's And CSV Downloads.

Apex 3.2
I have found a strange problem.
I have an interactive report and 2 of the columns (msg and msg_1) are based on the same data.
One column (msg) is to display in the report and the other (msg_1) for the download. I do this by
putting conditions on the columns.
:REQUEST IS NULL OR :REQUEST NOT IN ('CSV') - for report
:REQUEST IN ('CSV') - for download
This works well.
If I take msg out of the report and then save as named report.
When I export to excel, then msg_1 column no longer appears, which I think is wrong.
If I put the msg column back into the report and save and export to excel, the msg_1
is still not there.
I have put an example of oracle.com
Workspace: GUSCRIGHTON
User: [email protected]
Password: terminator
Application: 29545 - Template
Page 1
Am I doing something wrong or is this a bug
Gus

Hi,
I think it is not bug. You need first remove conditions from both columns and then select those to report.
Then save default report layout and then set conditions.
But if user change witch columns are displayed in report your msg_1 column will not be in download.
Better way archive what you looking for is use CASE WHEN is select e.g.
CASE WHEN :REQUEST IN ('CSV') THEN
msg_1
ELSE
msg
END AS msg
I did add example to your sample in apex.oracle.com

IR Saved Report - Download to CSV downloads Primary Report

Hi there
I'm using Apex 4.1, I login to my Apex application NOT using the developer interface (the developer buttons are not visable at the base of the page) as an end user would see.
If I run an IR report and then create a filter on the Primary report the report runs OK. I then click Actions -> Download and then Download the report output to a CSV file (correctly filtered) to a Excel spreadsheet. I then Save this report giving the report a Name and Description. I then logoff from the Apex application. So far so good.
I then login back on to my Apex Application. When I choose and run the Saved Report (described above - not the Primary report) the saved report runs correctly (applying the correct filter condition), HOWEVER when I then click on Actions - Download I seem to get the Primary report downloaded as a CSV file into my Excel spreadsheet - the filter condition that is applied to the saved rerport is ignored for the Downloaded CSV file. The File Downloaded is a new CSV file generated in Apex as reported in my Firefox 'Downloads' list.
Does anyone know if this is a Bug or have I not set up the IR correctly.
Thanks in Advance

Hi Mehabub,
Many thanks for the quick response.
Did you test this in version 4.1 of Apex? I logged on to Oracle's 4.2 Early Adopter Beta Site and did the same and the IR works fine! Maybe it's a strange problem in 4.1 although I doubt it as with such a problem there would be a lot more noise on this forum. Could this be related to the 'theme' that I'm using? As the theme I'm using was origionally developed for Apex 3.2 and I don't think IR reports were around in 3.2?There is a good chance that it has to do with the theme or the upgrade from Apex 3.2. Interactive reports existed in 3.2 also user defined reports. But a lot of changes were made to the IR logic since 3.2 (introduction of multple standard reports, etc.).
I just tested your case in my Apex 4.1.1 version in an application that was also upgraded from 3.2. And the data was stored correctly into a csv file.
But it is useing one of the standard themes that was also updated.
Did you set the compatibility mode of your application to 4.1?
http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/apex_util.htm#AEAPI2329
begin
apex_util.set_compatibility_mode(<application id>, '4.1');
commit;
end; Just because the environment is Apex 4.1 does not mean you application runs in 4.1. mode.

Htmldb_application.g_excel_format for CSV download from Interactive Report

I have an Interactive Report which I would like to modify so that it downloads to CSV different fields than it displays (some of the online displayed fields are hypertext links). In the past, dealing with "classic" APEX reports, I did this by defining 2 versions of the relevant fields, one for display and one for download. I then used a PLSQL condition checking htmldb_application.g_excel_format to determine which version of the field to use. I have tried this using the Interactive Report, and it does not work for me. I would greatly appreciate any help in resolving this issue. In both the online and downloaded version of the report, I am seeing the hypertext links.
I am using APEX 3.1.1, running on Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.4.0 - 64bit Production With the Partitioning, OLAP, Data Mining and Real Application Testing options.

Your CSV-File use "comma" as separator. But Excel think, that CSV-File separator is "semicolon".
Try to set "CSV Separator"=";" in section "Report Attributes" - "Download".

ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine message in CSV download from Interactive Report

Hi,
1 particular Interactive Report in our application produces the following error message in the CSV file, if we attempt to download the report: -
ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine
All other reports work OK, there is another thread here with the same issue, but no resolution was posted: APEX 4.1 ORA-20876: Stop APEX Engine
Has anyone else come across this issue?
Apex version is 4.1.0.00.32
Thanks,
Mike

Hi,
what happens if you take the query from IR report and create a new classic report?
On this report enable csv export and then try the export.
Maybe that (format) data are causing export to fail.
Try to export just one row in your IR report (and classic report), so that you add where rownum < 2.

Commas in the text field splits column in csv download file.

Hi,
I have developed an upload/download application in APEX 2.0. It seems to be that when the text values contain commas it divides the content to the next column when downloaded to a csv file. Is there any solution the problem? Please help!
Mustak

Hi Mustak,
I think you have to enclose all your fields by " in your CSV file to avoid this.
I f you use the standard CSV export of a report, you have a field in the report attributes, CSV section, for enclose your fields.
If you have written your own PL/SQL procedure , so you have to adapt it.

Export to CSV download link doesn't work

hi,
I have done the following:
If you click on the report link in your Region group
for the page concerned, then select the Report
Attributes tab and scroll down to Report Export you
can change the Enable CSV Output to YES and update
filename, separator etc.
This will show a link on the report page at runtime
that will allow the user to download the report in
CSV format to a spreadsheetAnd when I click on the link to download the report, it tries to download the page in html format...
any ideas on what the problem is?
thanks!!

Anoushka,
Do you have spreadsheet software such as MS Excel or OpenOffice installed? What filename did you choose? Do you have your browser configured to launch a spreadsheet application when files of a certaim mime type are downloaded?

CSV downloaded file cuts on the way

Hi I'am Junji from Tokyo.
I use 10.2.0.2.0 Oracle Database 10g Release
and Oracle Application Server 10g Release2.
A DB server and the Web server become another server,
but PL/SQL on a DB server kicked with mod_plsql by a Web screen starts,
and take out data from DB, and make a CSV file on a DB server.
CODE:
OWA_UTIL.MIME_HEADER('application/octet-stream', False);
htp.print('Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=xxxxx');
owa_util.http_header_close;
LOOP
htp.prn(CSV 1 line);
LOOP END;
It is many time good,
but,sometime csv file was cutted.
I don't know why.
When the condition that this phenomenon is easy to occur pushes the save button
after PL/SQL handling of Web side is completed,
and the WEB screen of the client left "download (open/save/cancel) of the file" and a displayed state for around 10 minutes,
push the "save button" ,and then, csv file is cut and shorter.
Will this be a problem of the Web server?
Or will it be a problem of setting such as Internet Explorer of the client?
Thanking you in advance.

Have you tapped on the folder in the top right corner of Pages? This is where iTunes transfers the documents to the iPad, there is then one more step into importing them into that documents page.
But no, Pages can only read Microsoft Word, Pages '09, or plain text files. It can export pdfs though.
Try importing those pdfs through iBooks.

CSV Download - issue with quote

Hi,
I am trying to downlaod my tabular form using Enable CSV output option in Reports Attribute. The report attribute setting has SEPERATOR as blank(so default comma) and ENCLOSED BY blank(so default ").
My requirement is after i download i update few data and re-uplaod again which updates the data into my custom tables.

"test1/2"" size"
It has a enclsoed by as quote but it has added 1 more quote after 1/2"
Because of this my validation is failing and i am not able to upload the data.
Can any one help on this issue.

How can I get an itemised .csv download of my EE bill?

I've just recently changed from Orange to EE to get 4G. I use my phone for work and have to submit my work calls logged in an excel spreadsheet to claim expenses, with Orange I could download an itemised .csv file of all my calls. Does anyone know how to download this information from EE, I can only seem to find a PDF download option, which is rubbish for copying in to excel as the format is all screwed up. Thanks a million

If you want itemised billing you will need to call customer services and request this it will cost you £1.50 each month to have this. All you get otherwise is that PDF.
