Desformat=spreadsheet, no gridlines. Please help!

I'm using a paper layout to format my report that I plan to run with desformat=spreadsheet. After deploying the report definition file (tried both .xml and .rdf) and running the report via an http request to rwservlet, my report is returning in Microsoft Excel showing no gridlines. I have tried setting the fill colors, cell borders, etc in the paper design/layout formats but none of these options work.
How can I have the excel spreadsheet enable gridlines by default? Thank you in advance.

We've seen this bug on machines running IE6 with a certain security patch (I forget its number). There's a thread in the Metalink reports forum about it. It appears to be somewhat tied to another problem where IE runs the report twice (you can see that in Showjobs. You're seeing the problem in 6i; I believe it persists in 9i.
The workarounds are (1) set Acrobat so it doesn't open within IE or (2) switch to a different browser, like Netscape. For workaround 1, Start Acrobat Reader, Choose File -> Preferences -> General, Uncheck Web Browser Integration
There's some evidence that it occurs more often with urls that include single quote characters. I think it's worse with XP, but I don't have any proof.
If you check Adobe's site, you will see this isn't just an Oracle Reports problem. I think we're waiting for Microsoft on this one, so don't hold your breath for a quick fix.

How can I insert a spreadsheet containing drop down boxes and links to other spreadsheets into a keynotes slide? Please help :(

How can I insert a spreadsheet containing drop down boxes and links to other spreadsheets into a keynotes slide? Please help
I need to retain all the formula's and the sheets these formulas are linked from.

Have you considered switching out of Keynote and over to your spreadsheet program when you get to this slide? If you launch the speadsheet program before Keynote you can switch using Command-Tab. You can then switch back into Keynote when you are done.
I realize that this is not what you were looking for but I don't think it is possible to do exactly what you want.

Pls help:sending oracle reports with desformat=spreadsheet to email

Is there a way to send the reports with desformat=spreadheet to email(destype=mail). I tried to execute the commandline with destype=mail desname=[email protected] desformat=spreadsheet but I am getting a report with html type attachment. How could I make it xls(excel) instead of html

When having lots of repeating frames and fields placed in a complex pattern, the Oracle Reports doesn't know how to place them in the .xls cells.
You ought to have a second layout for the report (containing the same data) that would print when the desformat = spreadsheet and would be be rather simple in comparison to the one that would print when desformat=pdf/html.
In case you have several repeating frames it is best to have all the fields in those frames placed and vertically aligned on the same row in the layout, from left to right. This should give a reasonable output.

Displaying image in report DESFORMAT ='SPREADSHEET' (Excel)

Hi,
I want to display a logo in Excel report. I have created one formula column with function
function CF_4Formula return Char is
begin
return('/report/xls/gelogo_new.bmp');
end;
I have placed the image in the above path. When I execute the report image is not appearing in it.
What could be the issue?
Below is the code in After Parameter form Trigger.
:DESTYPE = 'FILE'
:DESNAME := '/report/stg/'||:p_report_name||'_'||:p_calendar_month||:p_calendar_year||'.xls';
:DESFORMAT: 'SPREADSHEET'
Also please tell me how to set/see the default directory of REPORTS_PATH in Unix server.
Can anyone please help me out with this issue.
Thanks,
Kishore.

Thanks for the response. Sadly yes, the path is correct. I've
tried both the relative path and the full path (e.g.
../images/theimage.jpg and
http://mysite.com/images/theimage.jpg)
. Putting either address into a browser will return the correct
image if I'm in the right location.
So, I can get this expression: IIf(query.image NEQ "",
DE("../images/smProds/" & query.image), DE("None")) to display
the correct path, but what I really need is the image located at
that spot to display in the report. What is happening is that
report builder is returning the string, but not the image. When I
looked at the tutorial it implied that the image would be displayed
rather than the string.
Is there something in report builder that determines whether
the actual image is displayed? A property setting that I'm missing?
Or maybe the expression iteself is wrong i.e. it is doing exactly
what it should (display the string) and a different expression
format is required to get the image iteself. For example, flagging
some text as a hyperlink to the image? Not sure how you would pass
the image name value in that case.
Appreciate your suggestions.

How can I print Numbers Spreadsheet without Gridlines?

I cannot seem to hide the gridlines on my spreadsheet when printing. I can hide them from the sheet, but i only want to hide them when printing? Please help!

Hi Nivalda,
This seems to work. The image is of a four column by 10 row Plain (no header rows, no header columns) table, 'Printed' to a PDF file. The file was opened in Preview, and a screen shot was taken of a portion of the 'printed' file.
Letter/Number items are the addresses of the cells into which data was entered.
Procedure:
Click the table's icon in the Sheets list to select the whole table.
In the Format bar, find this set of controls:
Click the Color Well at the right end of this set, then choose the top left cell (showing a red diagonal).

Barry

It just doesn't add up... Please help the beginner

Hi all of you who are experts in Appleworks. I am a graphic artist and Mac user since '89. I do a lot with iMovie and iPhoto and Indesign but you think I can figure out the simplest thing in Appleworks!? I've read over the AppleHelp and try what it says and can't make it work. All I want is in a simple data base I made for my business, I have about 6 columns that I set up to be numeric and dollars with 2 decimals so I can enter monthly amounts. I want the column to ADD automatically and I know this is probably Appleworks "101" Why can't I make it work. I have a horizontal row with "Total" and along that row, under each column, I want the total of what I put in each cell above it to ADD! I know you enter a formula. I go to the box and type the = sign, then SUM, then you put in parenthesis A1,A,2 etc. right? I always gives me the alert that I entered the wrong formula.. or sometimes it says it can't complete something circular..or something like that. I think I set the field to "summary" too not "calculate" Why won't it work? I know it should! I did it in an old Microsoft works program. I ONLY use this type of software to keep a chart of my business expenses and my monthly earnings and then make a data base of my friends/family addresses, so I really don't need to know lots of complicated formulas... just ADD a column! Any tips from any of you? I read the instructions and do it step by step and it won't work! Please help! Give me the steps. THANKS so much for your time!!!

Hi Rollie,
Like the others who have posted here, I think the task you've set is more easily accomplished in the Spreadsheet.
You'll probably want a label for each column (and possiblly for each row) in the first cell, so your data will begin in B2.
For an example, I'm going to assume a data block of six rows (2..7) by six columns (B..G), with totals in row 8, and a grand total in H8.
In cell B8, enter: =SUM(B2..B7)
Select cells B8..G8, then go to the Calculate menu and choose Fill Right. This copies the formula into each of the selected cells, changing the cell references in the formula to match the correct column.
If you also want a Grand Total, in cell H8, enter: =SUM(B8..G8)
As for the database of Friends and Family addresses, there are two easy solutions:
1. Use the "Address List" Assistant found in the Assistants tab of Starting Points to create a Personal Address List database.
2. Use the Address Book application that is included with the OS X software you are running. You should find the Address Book icon (a brown 'book' with the @ symbol on the cover) on your Dock. Unless you are going to print mailing labels, you'll probably find Address Book sufficient to your needs.

REPORT DOES NOT RUN CORRECTLY , URGENT PLEASE HELP

Hi,
I am trying to run a report from visul basic screen, but it does not run correctly. Here is how I am running the report. There is a screen developed in VB This screen prompts the user for user id and password. Once it gets that, it connects to the oracle database and pulls out a column from a table. And passes that value as a parameter to the report. Now I am calling the the report for each individual value . There are 21 value being pulled out of the database and it invokes the report 21 times. So there are 21 report engines gets started. Is there a better way to do that ? Secondly when I pass the parameter , some parameters does not pass correctly I guess , because its not generating any out put . Like out of 21 may be 10 or 11 reports gets generated correctly but rest of the reports are blank. I debug the screen i saw that the parameter value is correct, everything seems good. But still the reports are comming blank. Any Idea why it is so ? The command line that i am using in VB screen is
Shell "C:\progra~1\ora95_2\bin\rwrun60.exe P:\Business_Analysis_&_Reporting_Tool\Test_REPORT_Templates\STORE_TYPES\Baby_Distribution_Report.Rdf USERID=" & UID & "/" & PWD & "@cposp201 DESFORMAT=PDF DESTYPE=FILE DESNAME=" & txtPath.Text & Replace(strName, " ", "_") & ".PDF BRND='" & adoRecBrand!Brand & "' PRINTJOB=NO PARAMFORM=NO"
In the above command " adoRecBrand!Brand " is the parameter thats being passed. This is actually a recordset and brand is the column in it. When I debug the screen , I see the value also there. But the report comes out blank. Please help. This is urgent.
Thanks

The way you call reports is not scalable. If you have 100 records come back from database, you would end up launch 100 engines at the same times, which probably will blow up your machine. You should use oracle reports server to do that. You can either use rwcli60 to submit the job to reports server, or invoke rwcgi60 from URL.
I am afraid some of reports engine failed to start and you get nothing back in your case.
After switch to use reports server achitecture, if you still see some report is blank in your application, then you can run that report with that special set of parameters manually and see if any problem with the report itself.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

CMDKEY Key Mapping Parameter Problem - Please HELP !!!

Hello !
I try to call a Report from Forms by using a keymap File ! I use IAS Forms and Report 10.1.2 and the Oracle Developer 10.1.2)
My Keymap settings are correct
The activated Parameters in rwservlet.properties are
RELOAD_KEYMAP=YES
KEYMAPFILE=CGICMD.DAT
OID_ENTITY=%REPORTS_OID_ENTITY%
SERVER=rep_asmic3
The CGICMD.dat file includes the keymap
telefon: server=rep_asmic3 destype=cache desformat=pdf desname=CGICMD userid=test/test@db102 %*
The WHEN-BUTTON-PRESSED Trigger contains following code:
declare
vjob_id VARCHAR2(100);
rep_status varchar2(40);
report_id Report_Object;
ReportServerJob varchar(100);
begin
report_id:= find_report_object('telefonliste');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_OTHER,'paramform=no cmdkey=telefon');
SET_REPORT_OBJECT_PROPERTY(report_id,REPORT_SERVER,'REP_asmic3');
ReportServerJob := run_report_object(report_id);
rep_status := REPORT_OBJECT_STATUS(ReportServerJob);
if rep_status = 'FINISHED' then
vjob_id := substr(ReportServerJob,length(report_server)+8,length(ReportServerJob));
WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT('/reports/rwservlet/getjobid'||vjob_id,'_blank');
end if
end;
If I try to run the report from a form I get a FRM-41214 Error. It seems, that the keymap file is not loaded ! How come ?
If I call the Report with the Keymap File directly from a Browser everything works fine:
http://<hostname>.<domain>.local:7778/reports/rwservlet?telefon&report=telefonliste.rdf&userid=test/test@db102
Please help ! Do you have a clue ?
Thanks

I have an iPad air and have downloaded the microsoft app excel. I have an email with an excel attacment. When I "tap to download" the attachment, it automatically converts to a PDF file and opens as a "view only" document. I want it to open with the excel app so I can see and update the spreadsheet.

If Excel works as do other apps, you should be able to tap and hold on the attachment and then select "Open in Excel" in the window that will open. Note that you need to be subscribed to and signed into Office 365 to be able to edit documents in Microsoft's apps.

Please help ! "Oracle Reports Server CGI - Reports Server name is not specified."

Hello Gurus,
I have an html form that allows putting in a parameter. Upon
submit the form, it'll pass a string URL with the parameter to a
new browser.
My url: http://localhost/servlet/oracle.reports.rwcgi.RWServlet?
diary&14252
I also used keymap looks like this
diary: report=Diary.rdf server=servername desformat=pdf
destype=cache userid=id/psswd@db myoid=%1 %*
But I get an Error: The requested URL was not found, or cannot
be served at this time. Oracle Reports Server CGI - Reports
Server name is not specified.
However, if I move the cursor to the end of the same url (or put
a space at the end) and hit Enter, then the report is
displayed. I guess there must be something wrong with my
configuration. Please help. I appreciated any inputs from you.
Thanks in advance.
Ashley

I found the solution to my problem. It was nothing to do with
the cgicmd.dat keymap file, but the html form itself. It's
confused between the url arguments and form arguments from the
submit button. So, what I did was open a new window with all
arguments instead of using the submit function.

Ashley

Pages for iPad removes MS Equations. Please help!

I have a Macbook and an iPad and am trying to work between the two. I need a frictionless read & write collaboration between the MS Word for Mac and Pages on iPad. This breaks down badly as Pages app, even after the installation of MathType, reports "Equations authored with Microsoft Word have been removed". Could you please help me with it? Need a MS Office for Mac - iPad Word Editor full compatibility! Thanks a lot in advance!

Minor thing, but...
Porting all those functions to a new platform would take years and result in a huge program. And an iPad doesn't have very much memory to squeeze the results into.
Word for for Mac is already running with Apple api's. Would have to adjust the user interface but I do not suspect it would be a major major port.
The thing is all a MS business case. MS is trying to win market share via not doing a Word on the iPad. Tactis like this have been MS strategy since MS became a business. MS has been much better at business strategy than technology.
Remember Word run on the 68k machines with 32meg of memory. This was Word 98 which produced the same .doc format as all the other Word implementations until Word .docx came about.
Of course, this is countered by the fact the Microsoft provides a stripped down Word for Surface RT. You need the more expensive Surface to run to run Word.
There are other word like apps to investiage.
