Custom CSV Report Export

Hi,
Just wondering, instead of using the ApEx built-in "Export to CSV" function against a report, is there a means of having a separate procedure that will perform the exact same functionality which when the user presses a button or clicks a link on the page, it calls this separate procedure, which will generate the CSV file of the report the user is viewing and pop-up a dialog window suggesting whether to open in excel/save or cancel?
Basically need a custom procedure that emulates Oralce ApEx's export to csv process.
Hope someone can point me in the right direction.
Thanks.
Tony.

Tony,

Re: Reports in Oracle Apex
There are just two changes I would add to the method I gave in the reply there.
a) If your data itself has commas in the fields, you need to add double quotes too when forming the CSV data.
b) Instead of a new blank page with just this process, you can create the before header process in the current page itself and make it conditional on the "export_CSV" button.

  • CSV Report Export Filename

    Can you make the CSV Report Export Filename a variable so that the user can enter the filename before exporting? Can a directory on the local PC be specified prior to exporting as well?

    Paul,
    You typically get a file download dialog when clicking on CSV export. The download dialog has a suggested file name, which can be overwritten and you can also choose the file download location.

  • CSV Report Export

    In 'Regions'->'Report Attributes'->'Report Export', there is an option for enabling CSV output. I'm interested to know how APEX generates these files internally. Is there some documentation explaining this, or is the code available somewhere?

    Hi crottyan,
    well, I guess the main point missing in your question is the WHY, what is your use case for asking this question?
    We certainly could tell you how this works internally, but you have a reason to ask that (which you are not telling us) . So we assume you would like to use the same internal stuff to generate CSV output for your own queries / tables.
    Using internal APEX stuff is not a suggested practice that we want to enforce on the forums, but there are many different ways to generate your custom CSV output.
    So, the best would be to tell us about your use case, what are you trying to achieve.
    Best regards,

  • Report export to csv - no data found in report

    Hi all,
    I've followed the steps to export my report to a csv file. In the Report Attributes, Report Export section I have:
    Enable CSV output: Yes           Separator: ,           Enclosed By:
    Link Label: Export
    Filename: Changes.xls
    But when I open it in excel, no data found is the only test showing in cell A1.
    Is there something else I need to do? I don't understand why it's not exporting my report - there is data on my screen in the report.
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Dave,
    Have a look in my blog:
    http://deneskubicek.blogspot.com/2007/03/csv-export-problem.html
    There is an explanation on how to avoid that.

  • Report Export to csv doesn't correct translate additional characters in 3.0

    Hi all,
    i'am using apex 3.0 and the report export build in function does not export the correct german umlaut ( "ü" is translate to "ü").
    My characterset are
    NLS_CHARACTERSET: WE8ISO8859P1
    DAD CHARACTERSET: UTF-8

    Go in "Application > Shared Components > Edit Globalization Attributes > Globalization" and change "Automatic CSV encoding" to YES. Should work!

  • Dynamic file name for report export to csv

    If "Enable CSV output" = "YES" for a report region titled "Invoices", the default file name is "Invoices.csv". If I have a parameter, Pn_MONTH, for the month (e.g. Jan 2010, Feb 2010, etc.) and the report only shows data for that month, I would like to have the resulting file named "Invoices_Jan_2010.csv".
    I've tried setting the Report Export Filename to "Invoices_&Pn_MONTH..csv" and setting the region title to be "Invoices_&Pn_MONTH." but the resulting file name is coming up as "Invoices_.csv"'. I even tried "Invoices_:Pn_MONTH.csv" just to be sure but that makes it "Invoices_:Pn_MONTH.csv"'.
    How can I get this to work?

    This same method works for generating dynamic column headings from other page items, but I've never tried it for the download file name.That's the problem. The parameter P_MONTH is itself a page item and this is not consistent with other dynamic substitution. Looking at the page source, the export link is
    f?p=102:9:8985946323211742:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R2805111921107129_en-uswhere presumably "FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R2805111921107129_en-us" is an application process and "2805111921107129" is the internal id of the region. The filename is not part of the link.

    sql

    Hi RH,
    You can add two textbox at the top outside the tablix and using expression to get the parameter value use have selected to display in the textbox as blew:
    TextBox1: =Parameters!Date.Value
    TextBox2: =Parameters!To.Value
    For Multiple value parameter you can use the expression like : =Join(Parameters!Date.Value,",")
    You can rename the two textbox' name in the properties as "Date" and "To"  then the two textboxs will display like belkow in the CSV report:
    Date                 TO
    01/01/2015      01/31/2015 
    ID   EmpFirstName    EmpLastName   Location
    1      Tom                  Garry                  NY
    2      John                 Graham               NJ
    3      Ron                   Lorrie                 CA

  • Report export (CSV) results in page not found error

    Hello,
    I'm having this strange error which i cannot seem to figure out. I have enabled report export through CSV in a report (report attributes). When i click the link in the report i get a page not found error (http 404). At first i thought it was a problem with the http-server. But as other applications (on different databases) don't have this problem i'm thinking it has to do with this apex-instance. Till 2 days ago it did work on this instance too.
    I'm really out of ideas, so if anyone can push me in the right direction i would really appreciate!

    Does this compare to the same as the url for your page?
    Has your server changed?
    Have you changed the dad file recently?
    have you checked the Apache access/error logs right after the 404 error is encountered ?

  • Exporting csv reports to repository

    Dear Cisco Guru's,
    We are currently testing Prime infrastructure 2.1. Is it possible to export CSV reports to an external repository ??
    Apparently, Repository path points only to localdisk/ftp
    What is told in the 2.1 pi admin book :
    Off load backups and reports—You can save space on the Prime Infrastructure server by saving reports and backups to a remote server.
    Many thanks,
    Lieven Stubbe
    Belgian Railways

    This is correct, it has options for local disk and FTP because, currently PI supports NFS and FTP/SFTP.
    NFS is usually mapped/linked/mounted on one of the local directory and hence you need to select that local directory which is linked to NFS server.
    For details check document for Configuring the NFS backup Server.
    -Thanks

  • Extraneous html included in Report Export (csv) for Version 3.1

    Hi, I'm not hopeful of anyone being able to resolve my problem, as none of my colleagues are experiencing it, which occurs in my application for all new reports that I have created since the upgrade to 3.1 (from 3.0).
    I have many existing reports which utilise the Report Export facility and they still work as they should. However, for any new report created after the upgrade, the file created contains an html tag:
    At the top of the first column: div id="report_1562114506105406_catch"
    with the corresponding tag at the bottom of the column /div
    Initially, I thought that the complexity of the report might have been relevant, but not at all. I have added report regions to existing pages with an SQL query of SELECT sysdate FROM dual
    I deleted and restored an earlier version of the application, but the problem recurred. As I said, my colleagues cannot reproduce the issue (happily - for them!) and neither could I when I created a new application (using the same theme - Blue and Tan), but I still experienced the problem with my application working at a colleague's PC. Also, if I activate the Report Export for an existing report, the file created is fine, which seems to indicate the problem relates to the report creation rather than the Report Export facility.
    Any suggestions gratefully received,
    David

    Additional info
    Where previously I thought that the number included in the "_reportnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn_catch" was randomly generated, I have now found out that it is actually specified within the "Print URL" on the Print Attributes tab.
    This doesn't seem to be any different to the other reports (that were created before the upgrade), but of course until now I had no reason to view the Print Attributes tab, so was unaware of this.

  • Custom Error Report for Truested Recon in OIM 11.1.1.5

    Hi,
    We are planning to have a custom scheduled task to generate csv report for failed recon events. We have some 4 trusted recons (2 custom + 2 GTC) in our environement. Does a DB query would be sufficient to meet our requirement. If yes please suggest the tables that we need to consider. Please suggest whether it is a good practise and has any one implemented such before ?
    We cannot go far any tool like BI publisher now so any means of generating report through custom code would be helpful.
    Thanks,
    DK

    The RECON_EVENTS and OBJ table will be sufficient to know which resource object the recon event was for, and the status of the recon event.

  • Customer Statement Report without BP Ref No.

    Hi,
    we are using SAP B1 2005 B PL35 with MSSQL 2005.
    If you :
    - run the Sales AR/Sales Reports/Customer Receivables Ageing
    - choose to run the report by Journal Postings
    - run the standard SBO report Customer Statement Report (one page per
    customer/Collection report
    The Cust ref No. (BP ref No) is not displayed.
    It seems that the BP Ref No is displayed only if the "Sales Documents" tab is selected according to the note 885071.
    Does anyone has a workaround to display this information in the report ?
    The reason is, all our customers need this information in order to match their orders with the invoices.
    Thank you
    Best regards

  • CSV output (export to excel) don't use right code table

    CSV output (export to excel) don't use right code table. We use code table
    8859-2 (reports and forms are OK). Why export to excel don't use this code table.
    Thanks for answers

    You could also take the example from my blob that Denes mentioned and instrument it to output in either CSV or HTML. This way, you could have a single procedure that worked for both formats.
    All you would need to do is handle each field differently - pad a TD and /TD (with proper brackets, of course) if its HTML or just append a comma if it's CSV.
    Thanks,

  • Access Report exporting to Excel Horizontally

    I've got a rather large report in Access, based on a couple of forms.
    When i preview it looks fine, Textboxes are all in order with the make and model then the data in text boxes in a column below.
    There are 7 columns of text boxes like this.
    When I export to a PDF, it's in the right format, 7 columns next to each other.
    When I export to Word and even a text file it works fine.
    When I export to Excel, they all go horizontal...textbox name in row 1 and all the data in row 2, clear to column IV and that's it.
    What am I doing wrong?
    Thank you for any help.
    Gee

    Hi Gee,
    According to the desription, when the report exported to Excel, the layout is incorrect.
    Based on my test, the Access doesn't export the textbox into Excel, it just export the data in the report. Here are the test steps for your reference:
    1. Create a table with some fields in Access 2013
    2. Create a reprot based on the table by default
    3. Export the report to Excel by External data->Export->Excel
    Did I misunderstood? Also a demo database to help us reproduce this issue is much appreciate.
