Dynamic action on report columns is possible but not as straigth forward as on items.
First you can't select "report colum" as selection type for the dynamic action. Use jQuery Selector instead.
See the [url http://api.jquery.com/category/selectors/]jquery documentation  on possible selectors.
I prefer to use something like[name='f01'].
Use the developer tools of your browser to see the name of your report column.
Because you can't submit a single report cell value with the action "Set value".
You have to use a combination of a action "Execute javascript" and a ondemand process.
The javascript code is something like
  var elementId,idParts,row;
  /*Determine the id of the element that has triggered the dynamic action*/
  elementId = String(this.triggeringElement.id);
  /*The id of a item in a report column consists of to parts the name and the rownumber*/
  idParts = elementId.split('_');
  /*The second part is the rownumber we need that to set the value in the right row later on*/
  row = idParts[idParts.length-1];
  /*This calls the ondemand process*/
  apex.server.process ( "MANAGER_EMAIL", {x01:$v(this.triggeringElement),x02:row}, {success: function( pData ) { $s(pData.r,pData.d) }} );apex.server.process(name ondemand process,values to be submitted,options)
{x01:$v(this.triggeringElement),x02:row}
This submits the values of the triggering element and the row on which all the action is happening.
x01 refers to apex_application.g_x01
{success: function( pData ) { $s(pData.r,pData.d) }}
The succes option defines a function that is executed upon succefull completion of the ondemand process.
The ondemand process returns a json object. Which we can refer to in the javascript function with pData.
In our ondemand process we are defining the json object as having to properties.
d and r . d is the display value and r is the id of the element to be set.
$s(r,d) is a [url http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E23903_01/doc/doc.41/e21676/javascript_api.htm#CDEEIGFH]apex javascript function that sets the value d to item with id r.
Now the server side code. This is an application process with process point Ondemand.
Which is something like this.
declare
  cursor c_emp(b_employee_id in number)
  is
    select emp.email
    from   oehr_employees emp
    where  emp.employee_id = b_employee_id
  col_emp_email oehr_employees.email%type;
  v_regel       number;
begin
  /*Get the employee email*/
  open  c_emp(apex_application.g_x01);
  fetch c_emp
  into  col_emp_email;
  close c_emp;
  /*Calculate the rownumber do this only if the triggering element is a popup lov*/
  v_regel := to_number(apex_application.g_x02) + 1;
  /*Create the json header*/
  APEX_PLUGIN_UTIL.PRINT_JSON_HTTP_HEADER;
  /*Print out the json object*/
  sys.htp.p('{"d":"'||col_emp_email||'","r":"f03_'||lpad(to_char(v_regel),4,'0')||'"}');
end; For specification of the JSON notation see [url http://www.json.org/]http://www.json.org/
To see this in action I have set up a [url http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=VANBAREN_FORUM_TRY_OUT:TBDA:0&c=VANBAREN]demo.
Change the manager and the manager email will change.
I hope this is enough to get you started.
If you have a problem in translating the above code to your specific situation set something up on apex.oracle.com. Then the help can be more specific to.
