Customizing excel for reports

Hi All,
I was just wondering if it is possible to customize the excel sheet, when data is displayed on excel. By customizing I mean that, when we normally run the query the data is diplayed with a sort of grayed out back ground. Here one of my client want it to be displayed in some other color (say 'blue'). Can we do this ??
Thanks and Regards,
M

Hi mehar,
You can do by that by using aworkbook teplate. In the workbook template you can decide the color, fonts, logo etc that you would like to appear by default when any report is executed. See this for more info:

Customized name for report instances under publication (BOXI 3.1)

Hi All,
Is a there any way to have custom name for the report instances under publication history (default enterprise location). I can see we can customize report instance names using placeholders if destination is email or local drive or enterprise inbox, but doesn't have similar option under publication history.
Basically we have a Agency Report which has to be distributed to individual agencies through email while another copies will be maintained under publication history. But unfortunately there is no way (as it seems to me) to find out which report instance is for which agency (unless one manually opens and checks the report).
So my query to you is that, is there any work around to customize report instances name under publication history.
Thanks in advance.

Mukesh

Hi,
My client has exactly the same requirement; for instances/documents to be published to default location with custom instance and document names.
I'm really struggling to find any built in capability to do this however I hope I'm wrong on this!
At the moment I'm writing a publication extension to do this but again I hope this isn't necessary!
Does anyone know if this is possible?

Need help in writing code Customer Exit for reporting Variable

Hello Gurus,
I have a requirement.When a authorized user logins to view the report, he should see only customers available in the value help screen.In the value help screen it is displaying all the customers, but data is displayed perfectly fine for the authorized sales rep. By default, Value help screen displaying all the customer numbers.
How can I restrict in the value help screen?
Any help appreciated with points.

Hello PNK,
You can use a variable with Process type Authorization. This enables variables to be filled with values automatically from the user authorization.

Custom eventing for reporting --- am i using the correct ResourceEvent?

Hi All,
I am using a web content management tool which stores all the content created through the tool in /documents repository . This content is published in the portal under various roles . I am working on a report to generate and report the hit counts for the pages in this repository . I have written a Km service that subscribes to GET_TEMPLATE event to generate these statistics.
The problem i am facing is this . When i navigate through the KM folder structure to a given page in a subfolder and do a preview of the page content , the hitcount is incremented and the report reflects this increase . However if i navigate to the role where the content is published and view the content from the role , the page hit count is not incremented and the report does not show the increment .
My questions are
1) Do i need to write a custom KM event that notifies the repository broker about
the page access through the roles?
2) Is there any other standard event to which i can subscribe to get this page hit count.
Any helpful answers will be rewarded.
regards
Subra

Hi Subra,
> is there any way to know if the tool is raising any event
As I have been one of the developers, I can report that the tool definitely does not raise such an event explicitely. But as said above, it also shouldn't do this, as it shouldn't be needed. In addition, for the display the tool redirects to a KM navigation iView, which normally should lead to the expected event risen anyhow.
But if it really doesn't work, you still have the option to ask btexx to check if this is a shortcoming on SAP side - which in the interest of a smooth working product should be tracked, maybe worked around...
About the caching I can report that there is also no caching used at the moment for the display. This may change one day, for this in fact it would make sense to raise the event (even if the resource isn't called from the framework, but to enable such kind of statistics, if they won't be part of the product one day anyhow).
Hope it helps

One additional remark for all people involved: I just remember to have read about the same "missing" event on SDN, but I never checked this in the end. It might be that the navigation iView only throws the getChildren event, as for other resources than XML forms elements, it only renders the name of the resource, not it's (or part of it's) content (so the content doesn't get accessed). This also would make sense as normally the access to the Show form could be differentiated from the access to the RenderListItem form.

Custom variables for reporting

Hello,
I have a customer who has UCCX 8.5 and was wondering if they can do the following. Call comes in, agent answers the call and when the call is complete, they would like the agent to add an "account code" to the call from within CAD. They then want to use this "account code "for reportings. Is this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Yes but the agent won't be prompted for it so it would require some training.
The CallVariables1-10 that are stored to the ccdr table record for the call can be given a friendly name such as Account Code under Desktop Administration. You would also need to add that variable to a Layout List so it is shown in CAD.
The Script would need to set that Layout List to be used with the Set Enterprise Info step.
The Workflow Group of the agent (created in CAD Workflow Administrator, assigned in Desktop Administrator) would need to allow users to Modify Enterprise Data.
The CSQ would need to be configured to place the agent in a Work state. The agent can only modify the Enterprise Data during the Talking or subsequent Work states. Once they go Not Ready or Ready again the record is written.
With all of that in place the agent could double-click on the Account Code field within the Enterprise Data section of CAD. It will open a small dialog and they can type in the value they want.

Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report using Page Zero

Hi,
I want to implement an «Custom pagination for APEX 4.2 interactive report» using a «page zero».
I recently migrate from Apex 3.1 to Apex 4.2 and my «Custom pagination for APEX 3.1 interactive report» using a «page zero» is not working any more.
So now I try to adapt an excellent example of Jari Laine for 4.0 but using a page zero.
I put the code JavaScript to Page zero but I must create an dynamic action to fire only for an interactive report region.
It’s a good idea?
Thank you

Thought I would try once more with my DatePicker question.
On the Apex.Oracle.Com website I have created a 1 page application that has an Interactive Report.
[url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=15655:1]
user = 'test'
password = 'test'
I have 2 questions :
(1) In IE7, press 'Actions', 'Filter'. On the Column dropdown list, select 'Order Timestamp'.
Notice the prompt icon to the right of the 'expression'. This should change to the Datepicker, but in IE7 it does not. Try the samething in Firefox or Chrome and the Datepicker will appear.
Is this a BUG, or does Apex 4.02 not support IE7 ?
(2) In Firefox or Chrome, where you can now see the Datepicker, you will notice that it is the new style picker, not the old style ( called 'classic' ). I want to change it so that it shows the 'classic' datepicker not the new, but cannot see how to do it, if indeed you actually can.
I would really appreciate it if someone could take a look and let me know if I am going mad, or if we need to get all our users onto IE8. We have now gone live with Apex 4.02 and need to resolve these issues.
Thanks in advance.

Custom Template for Third Party Balance Summary Report(Java type executable

Hi Al,l we have a requirment to have a layout with some of the fields from
Third Party Balance Summary Report( Which is a Java type executable and
Data definition has Data Template attached(.xml)).
I tried in below way.
Coppied the Third Party Balance Summary Report program with same application and parameters
with. Then defined a Datadefinition with my concurrent prog short name
attached the same standard .xml file(Not sure what it is) and developed a custom template with
a custom rtf(excel output type), and submitted the program
the output is generated in excel but my custom .rtf layout is not getting applied
rather it is showing same layout as in standard.
Some thing I am missing here or else it is not the way of changing the
template.
If any one know how to do this please let me know.
My client want only some files from the standard report(no need of new fileds)
with output type xls.
Thanks in Advance.
The same content is posted in Custom Template for Third Party Balance Summary Report(Java type executable sorry for duplicating the thread, just for increase the visibility for my issue I did this.

I gave up on using a different font or figuring out if I could use Times New Roman's built-in fractions visible in Font Book (as unicodes) and did a work-around based on Michael Wasley's tips in this discussion.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11622842#11622842
I adapted it however and think it looks a little better.
Font: Times New Roman 12 point
I used the fraction bar in 12-point (Shift-Option-1) for automatic kerning.
For the numerator, I changed the font style to superior (12-point).
For the denominator, I changed the font style to subscript (Shift-Command-hyphen) and reduced the font size to half, or 6-point using the short-cut Shift-Command-<.
When the fractions occured in my footnotes (9-point), I used 4-point in the denominator; 10- and 11-point, I used 5-point in the denominator. This seemed to produce the best result when printing.
Thank you, Michael.

LabView Exe Application file not launch Excel application for report generation

Dear All,
I created one LabVIEW application file for report generation (using Excel Template).
While I run the program in programming mode it works well and create the report file in the specified path.
After creation of the application file(exe), it gives the correct path of where the excel template is placed. The same path is given to New Report.vi, but it gives the error 'File Not Found'.
Tell me, is any other configuration required for generating Excel reports? (During exe application mode)
Give me the solution.
Thank You
Jegan.

Hello,
Most likely you are encountering a problem of stripping and/or building paths. Probably the easiest thing to do is put a couple indicators on your front panel for the path or paths you care about, build your exe, and make sure you are really using the path you'd like. If you always put the report at some deterministic place relative to the exe (that is, even it the exe is moved, it will go with the exe and remain in the same relative path location, then you can use the Current VIs Path funtion found in the ... File I/O -> File Constants palette as a start path (where you will want to strip at least the exe name off of course).
I think this will bring some clarity to the issue!

JLS

Custom Filename for PDF Report

Hi,
I have a requirement to download pdf for a report. I provided the download action as a column link on the report. Clicking the link I direct to the URL for the custom report I created (f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT= MyReport). Pdf gets downloaded with the name MyReport.pdf. But I need to provide a custom name for the downloaded pdf, it should be based on the Id value of the report column something like this Emp123.pdf where 123 is the employee Id (selected row's employee id value in my report).
I searched in the forums and came across this thread APEX 3 PDF Report Export Custom Filename? but here its mentioned that
" In this case there's no separate attribute for the file name. And we don't do substitutions on the report query name, so setting the name dynamically as you described in your sample, won't be possible. "
Since the thread is a old one so posting a new one. Any pointers is highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Rakesh

1. Call the report with utl_http.
2. Store the output as a BLOB. Either local variable or store it in a table.
3. Print the blob.
Here is how you can print the blob and read the package spec for utl_http.
