Dynamic Column Heading on Interactive Report

I have my column headings for my table columns stored in the database. I want the Interactive Report to use these heading (instead of static headings). Is there a way to have the columns set from the database(with a function/procedure)?

you can replace the column headings with &PAGE_ITEM.
obviously one page item per column header
then use the database to populate the items with your column headings.

Creating Dynamic Column Headings in Interactive Reports

Hi,
any ideas how I can alter the name of a column in an interactive report.?
I have columns whose usage is defined by the end user and consequently want to have their own meaningful column header displayed whenever this column is referenced.
I can get column headers to change in standard reports by using PL/Sql to return the column headers. In Forms, I use shortcuts (these don't seem to work for reports, I wish they did) but I'm at a loss on how to achieve this with IR's.
Thanks
Mike

I wrote a script(application process) that updated the table that holds column name. I changed the display name, not the column name. I cant remember the actual table, but i found it by looking at the code that create the "APEX Application Page Ir Col" View.
I dont know if this is best practice, but it works for me.

New column header on Interactive Report

We have an interactive report on a view and when we add a new column to the view, we would need the report to add the header automatically too (without previous deployment). Can this be done in simple manner?
Thanks,
Ricardo

Hi,
I have tested the behavior of the different reports in Apex.
This is the conclusions:
Created a new column in a test table and running directly the Apex application with the table mapped in three reports:
1- Interactive Report:
- No errors in the report when you open it but the new column is not showed.
2- Classical Report with default options:
- Errors showed when you open it (ora-01403 No data found)
3- Classical Report with the option checked "Use Generic Columns Names":
- It shows automatically the new column in the report.
But still I do not have a solution to solve the problem.

Ricardo

Dynamic Column Name on Interactive Report

Hi all,
Is it possible to assign a SQL result to a Column name on an interactive report?
I have been able to do this on a standard SQL Report though the use of page items but have not had much luck with interactive reports.
Any help is appeciated.
Thanks,
Dan

could you please explain step 4 a bit more?
as with the standard report, i just created an item with SQL query with a corresponding computation with same SQL query and that works great.
i tried the same method with interactive and it did not work.
in step 4 it mentions creating a process to populate the items.
how is this done?
Thanks,
Dan

Link column from an interactive report to insert a row in a tabular form

Hi, I need your help, i'm new on APEX and i really need to make a "link column" from an "interactive report" to insert a row into a "tabular form".
I mean that when you click the "link column" instantly create a new row in the Tabular form with the information of the linked row on the interactive report. Its something like that.
I really appreciate your help.
Ricardo Capuz

Hi Ricardo,
You can use the following code as per your requirement (this is just an example),
(In this case IR report is in Page#1 and Tabular form is in Page#2),
On Page#1, Create a hidden item (i.e 'P1_ID')
IR Report query as like the below,
select empno,
ename,
job,
mgr,
hiredate,
sal,
comm,
deptno,
empno "copy"
from empUse the below JS code in Page HTML Header section,
function f_insert_row(pSub)
$s('P1_ID',pSub);
doSubmit('ADD');
Edit Report Attribute -> copy column -> Under Column Link
Link Text: Select your column name (i.e. #EMPNO#)
Target: URL
URL: javascript:f_insert_row(#EMPNO#);
Then create a process to insert like below,
BEGIN
insert into emp_test (select * from emp where empno=:P1_ID);
END;Process condition as * Request=Expression1* in Expression1 as 'ADD'.
At last, create a branch to Page#2, Check 'include process success message' and with the same condition as * Request=Expression1* in Expression1 as 'ADD'.
Thanks,
Lakshmi

Best way to style a column in an interactive report?

Since I'd rather not do it directly in the SQL used to populate the report, can someone suggest a clean way to style all cells of a given column from an interactive report? Perhaps all cells of interest can be addressed through jquey using the "headers" attribute they share?

Oh, and I'd also like to make the vertical separations between cells aparent if possible....Please try this one:
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA TD {border-style:ridge;border-color:#98bf21;
border-width:3px;}For more details please visit:

Hi Vish,
I was informed by SAP few months back that Interactive Reports can not be enhanced with custom fields. I don't see any documentation regarding this.
You may want to check with SAP also.

Problem with column groups on Interactive Report

Hi
I am hoping that someone can help with this problem.
I am attempting to control both the grouping and ordering within each group of fields in the single row view of an interactive report. Creating column groups appears to be OK at first (sequence, name and description) but if I then attempt to edit the group, the sequence box appears to be empty even though it was filled with a unique number at the time of creating the group.
In addition, any changes to the order of the fields within the group made using the shuttle box at the bottom of the screen don't seem to be saved even to the Apply Changes button is pressed.
Anybody know what is happening here and can anyone suggest how to control both the order of the groups and ordering within each group?
Thanks in anticipation

.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="COLUMN_ALIAS"] {
width: 10em;
}where COLUMN_ALIAS is the alias of the column in the report query and the width measure is whatever you require.

Dynamic Column Header On Table Control

Dear Friend
How I can set Dynamic Column Header Text On Table Control
Regards
Supperkorn

Just set it to a global variable name, and then set the value of that global variable as needed, e.g. in your TOP include define "g_my_header(20) type c" and then use g_my_header in the "Table column header" definition in the Dynpro... and in your PBO code put a value in g_my_header.

Dynamic column heading

HI expert,
I have three value in my prompt. Year,Month,Day.
When There is Year or Month then We need to show the column heading Average Amount. When there is Day we need to show Amount.
Is it possibe.

Hi,
This is achievable.
You can create separate reports which will refer the value passed from the prompt.
For Example- If you select the Year from the promp, then it will show the year report
(But you need to rename the year column heading in the report).
When you select the quarter value from the prompt then it will show Quarter report
(But you need to rename the Quarter column heading in the report).
Please let me know if you need further help

Only one column header in delimited report ?

Hi!
Is there a way to put only one line of column header on delimited report?
(By default the Report builder puts the header in every record line...
as well the delimited_hdr = no command prompt property is not good, because puts out no header)
Thanks!
(I use RB 6i)

Hello,
http://www.oracle.com/webapps/online-help/reports/10.1.2/topics/htmlhelp_rwbuild_hs/rwrefex/cmdline/common/bld_delim_hdr.htm
DELIMITED_HDR command line keyword
DELIMITED_HDR is used to remove boilerplate text (such as the report header) when running a report with DESFORMAT=DELIMITED or DESFORMAT=DELIMITEDDATA.
This parameter exists in Reports 6i too .
