Displaying sub table columns in main tablecolumn

HI,
Please let me know the procedure of creating two sub table columns under a main table column.
Example, I have a tablecolumn say MainColumn. Under this MainColumn, I want two sub table columns say SubCol1 and SubCol2.
How to do this?
thanks,

[Nt : Repeat the same procedure to insert table inside a
Table].

How to display sub table and NOT repeat each detail line?

I am going nuts trying to get this thing to display correctly, so I am someone can help me. I am trying to display a sub table (not subreport - tried that and it doesn't work) for detail records. For Example on an invoice items may have child items.
I am using Crystal 11
I have two tables iDetail and iSubDetail
My detail section looks like this:
D   iDetail.itemNum                              iDetail.price
           iSubDetail.itemNum
I have a Left Outer link from iDetail.itemNum --> iSubDetail.itemNum
I should see something like this:
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemOne
     subItemTwo
     subItemThree
     subItemFour
itemTwo                $25.00
itemThree              $30.00
etc...
Instead, my Crystal report displays this:
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemOne
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemTwo
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemThree
itemOne                  $50.00
     subItemFour
itemTwo                $25.00
itemThree              $30.00
etc...
and of course the total for the invoice is wrong.
I have tried all the different links and a subreport, but I cannot get it to display correctly. Does anyone have any ideas??

I tried subreport but I can't figure out how to turn it OFF for non-relative items; from the above example data I would get with a subreport:
itemOne $50.00
subItemOne
subItemTwo
subItemThree
subItemFour
itemTwo $25.00
subItemOne
subItemTwo
subItemThree
subItemFour
itemThree $30.00
subItemOne
subItemTwo
subItemThree
subItemFour
Looks great for itemOne, but I can't turn it off for itemTwo and itemThree. I have tried hiding the subreport if iDetail.itemNum =
iSubDetail.itemNumi, but if SubDetail table is accessed it repeats the iDetail record like the original post.
I tried hiding it in the subreport, but it does not know what the main report record is. I couldn't find anyway to PASS the itemNum from the main report to the subreport. If I could pass it as a variable, I could just hide the subreport when it is NE to iSubDetail.itemNum.
I kind of got it working by grouping the iDetail record by itemNum. However, the problem with that is when there really is multiple iDetail records, the invoice only shows one!! So, I would still like to find a better solution,
Thanks for your reply.

Display Nothing in table column heding when parameter doesn't have any value

Hi,
I created one tabular report . Report has 2 parameters(ex: A and B) both have default values from two different datasets. I am using these parameters in two column headings (col1 has parameter A and col2 has parameter B) in report. My question is, if parameters(A
and B ) don't have any value from the datasets it should display "Nothing" in the table column headings(col1 and col2). If parameters(A & B) have some value(June & July respectively) it should display in table column headings(col1 and col2).
Thanks in advance,
Visu

Hi Visu,
According to your description, you want to display the value of two parameters in two column headers. Parameter A in col1, parameter B in col2. And if the parameter returns null value, it should display “Nothing” in the header. If the
parameter return a value, the value should be displayed in the column header.
If in this scenario, in order to achieve your requirement, we can refer to the following expression in the two column headers:
=iif(Parameters!ReportParameter_name.Value
is nothing,"Nothing",Parameters!ReportParameter_name.Value)
If there are any misunderstanding, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.
Thanks,

Getting table column header names from database

Hi,
We are trying to get table headers from database. So when we query the database it returns multiple rows at the same time. How can we display specific table column headers from the returned result set at respective places.
We tried using record selection expert but that only works for one selection and not for others.
How can we do this?

Thank you Josh and Abhilash for helping us.
We are using PostgreSql.
"command_headers" has query which looks like following-
SELECT id, header FROM labels
WHERE id='header.header_1'
OR id='header.header_2'
OR id='header.header_3'
ORDER BY id;
which will return following result set-
id                              header
header.header_1        Header1
header.header_2        Header2
header.header_3        Header3
Our Table structure is something like this-
Page Header: Header1                        | Header2                       | Header3
Details:           {command_data.value1} | {command_data.value2} | {command_data.value3}
command_data is another command which generates data for the table.
All values in details section coming from command_data is in format string.
We don't need to apply grouping or sub totals. This is a simple table, showing string values for all columns.
Preview:
Header1     |     Header2     |     Header3
car              |     yello           |     abc
bike            |     black          |     xyz
plane          |     white           |     pqr
Currently, all headers are static labels. How do we use "command_headers" to display all table Headers dynamically? Can we achieve this format using cross tab?

How to display images in a table column?

Hi,
In a VC model, I have to display images in a table column for each record found.
How can this be done?
Regards,
Nitin

Hi Nitin,
It can be done by adding to the table the Image control (can be found under Advanced Controls in the Compose panel).
In the URL property (in the Configure panel of the Image control) you can define any expression that will return the image URL. For example:
="http://hosting.site.url/"&@ImageNameField

How to display the sorting arrows in the table column header

Hi
I am doing a sorting for some columns from the click of the table column headers, In Developer studio, we are able to view the up and down arrows, I need that also to be made visible at run time, so that the user knows that there exists sorting based on that particular column. Is there any other way of doing it ? I cant place more than one control on the header or wrap the text to two lines..also. please clarify. thanks

I assume you are using NW 04.
The table column header contains a IWDCaption element which may display an icon and a text. See property IWDCaption.imageSource.
The table tutorial might also be helpful.

WebDynpro ABAP - Display Short Text instead of values in table column.

Hi WebDynPro Experts,
    i have Column in a table which displays subject. This column has domain associated ZDE_SUBJECT with fixed values & short text
Fix.Val    Short Text
01             Level 1
02             Level 2
03             Level 3
04             Level 4
05             Level 5
when i bind this cloumn to a table UI element. And have records for this table. At runtime inside the table column. i see values returned as 01, 02 , 03 ( basically fix val) my requirement is to display the corresponding short text. Is there any easy approach to do this???

Hi Prash
I think you need to bind the short text values to the table UI.
I am not sure if there is any other easy approach for this.

Negative number cannot be displayed in table if the column is too narrow

Hi, All
When a number is formatted as a certain formatting(not locale formmatting),Negative number cannot be displayed in table if the column is narrower than the negative number, just minus is displayed.
Can you help me? Thanks.
Version: EHP1 for netweaver 7.0 SP3
Best regards,
Jiande Ding

Hi,
I think this has nothing to do with positive and negative numbers, By default the alignment of the text is Left, if you dont want to see '-' sign initially then you can change the alignment of the text to center or right in the display tab of properties for that column.
As you as saying that at runtime the numbers are visible if manually adjusted. to icrease the width of that column permanently goto Layout tab of the story board and increase the size of the table and then increase the width of the column.
the Fit Contents in the Layout should be set to "Actual Size".

Tableview setting to enable to select the table columns to display

Hi All,
In webdynppto in the table ALV display we have the settings option with which users can control what columns of the table to display and what columns to hide in the table display.
Users can also control the columns of the display to show or hide in the display. Can any of you please clarify how we can do this with the tableview
The tableview I am using is below what setting do I need to enable to get the column display/hide by users at runtime

hello,
I do not think it's possible dynamically like ALV...on screen itself...
to hide / display a column you can code in iterator class with some condition...

Display an icon in a table column

Hi,
can i display an icon in a table column ? How
do I have to handle that ?
Thank you...
Claus

Hi Claus,
You can use the following as table cell editor:
1. Image -- just displays plain image
2. Caption -- dislays image along with text or image only (or text only).
3. LinkToAction -- same as caption, however provides you a way to have something like "onClick" action.

Follow the "How do I SELECT, INSERT, UPDATE and DELETE data from PHP?" example from http://wiki.oracle.com/page/PHP+Oracle+FAQ and change the "select ..." query to your favourite join, e.g.
select country_name, region_name from countries, regions where countries.region_id = regions.region_id;

Displaying 2 tables in 1 frame

Hi guys,
I have this problem. I need to display 2 tables (with scroll panes) on a frame. I have tried it a couple of different ways.
1) Using 1 JPanel that has 1 table and then adding that and another table to a JFrame (GridLayout)
2) Using GridLayout on a JPanel and adding that to a JFrame
3) Using 2 JPanel and adding it to a JFrame
4) Placing both JTables on 1 JPanel and then adding that to the JFrame
but it doesn't work. It seems that the table that is added first (not to mention the buttons and textfields) doesn't appear (not visible) only the 2nd table is visible.
This this the latest "version" I've tried.
