Dynamic columns in Reports

Hello,
We are using Oracle Report 6i to develop reports.
I have a frame with 60 fields displayed in 6 lines. Each line has 10 fields.
All the fields might have values or some fields may be empty.
In case fields 1-20 only have values.
Is it possible to suppress the fields without values (21-30) and hence dynamically reduce the frame size?
Please let me know.
Thanks
Sandhya

1.In r.frame set all 20 fields (one row of fields) in common frame.
Check if all 20 fields' values are NULL. If so then set frame formatting trigger
to return (False);
2.Set property of r.frame to variable (vertical).

Dynamic Columns in Report

Hi,
Is that possible to allow users to add columns at runtime?. I mean i have provided a report with 5 columns, user1 may need to include two more columns in a report (5+2), but he don't know how to work in Answers. So i need to predefine the styles for all the columns and provide a list to user.
I have used "Column Selector", here we have a restriction like i can display any number of columns within the 5 column range (My report has 5 column). So this restrict the user to have only 5 columns in a report.
Please provide a solution for this issue

Thanks Naresh, solution looks good. Here also there is one restriction, like if i have 30 more columns in the report (available columns) and showing 8 at initial. Now if user need the all the 30 columns then i have to provide (8+22 hidden colum). In UI 30 drop down boxes (weird!!!!), this accumulates more spaces in dashboard as well UI looks chunky of controls. So is there any possible way to provide a list box with the list of columns and allow user to do selection (what we do in multi select prompts)?

Generate Paper Report with dynamic columns in Reports 9i

Hi,
I'd like to know if it's possible to select wich columns I want to show in the report just before it is shown.
If yes, how can I do it?
I'm using 9i Developer Suite and I'm calling the report from Oracle Forms.
Thanx

Set the Horizontal Elasticity to varaible.
With a format trigger you control the visibility.
function F_fieldFormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :hide = 'Y' then
return(FALSE);

How to show the columns dynamically in OBIEE report based on the selection?

Hi,
I have a requirement where the columns should be dynamically shown in report based on what we select in propmt page.
I'm creating a report in OBIEE where i want to give an option to the end user to select the columns whichever he wants to see in the report.
For example I have the following columns in the report already:
Customer Name,
Customer Number,
Bank Account,
Address
I want to give an option to the user to select 'Customer Mail ID' dynamically and see the column to be displyed in the report along with the existing columns.
Through 'Column Selector' user can select a single column at a time, but if he want to select more than one column, how can we do this ?
Please help me out in resolving this issue.
Thanks,
Chaithanya.

Hi Chaithanya,
there's not a straight solution for this. You can create different analysis containing different number of columns and then directing the user to this analysis using Action Links or you can also use View Selector to switch from one view (analysis) to the other. But it's not going to be very flexible nor dynamic.

Can anybody help me how do I design such report....
Thanks

Hi Developer life,
According to your description that you want to dynamically increase and decrease the numbers of the columns in the table, right?
As Jason A Long mentioned that we can use the matrix to do this and put the year field in the column group, amount fields(Numric values) in the details, add an filter to filter the data base on this column group, but if
the data in the DB not suitable to add to the matrix directly, you can use the unpivot function to turn the column name of year to a single row and then you can add it in the column group.
If there are too many columns in the column group, it will fit the page size automatically and display the extra columns in the next page.

If your still have any problem, please try to provide us more details information, such as the data structure in the DB and the table structure you are currently designing.
Any question, please feel free to let me know.

in this report....grouping will be parameterized ....and total also required at every stage...
so how can i add the columns dynamically ?
number of columns are not fixed...they may be 20...30....etc

Requirement is...
I have a table scn ... where i can make entries any time....assume they are some rules...
I have another table called t1 ... where i need to calculate values of t1 again some specific rules are table scn.
So for each t1 there will be one row with columns as scn entries which I select on interface.
         Original Value -- Sc1 ...... Sc2 ...... Sc3 ...... Sc4 ...... Sc5 . . . . . .. .
t1...................xx...... xx..........xx..........xx........ xx........ xx
t3...... .............xx...... xx..........xx..........xx........ xx........ xx
t4....................xx...... xx..........xx..........xx........ xx........ xx
selection of these scn columns will be dynamic....so i cant create n number of columns in the report template and hide them as per requirement....it will not work.
Wat is a feasible solution to create such kind of report ?
Can we create template in C# or .net ?
IF yes...do we have to save every time in order to render report ?
e.g.   one report may contain 4 columns and other 10 ... so do i have to create new rpt file each in order to render the report ?
Please if any1 have approach to create this kind of report then it will very helpful....

How to spilt columns dynamically in the report based on Date Parameters

Hi All,
We have an XML Publisher report in which the parameters are Fom date and To date.
User wants the data in the report to be split dynamically based on the months in the From date and To date interval.
Eg. if the From date is 01-JAN-2013 and To date is '31-MAR-2013' then the report should show 3 columns JAN,FEB and MAR and the corresponding data.
if the From date is 01-JAN-2013 and To date is '31-MAY-2013' then the report should show 5 columns JAN,FEB,MAR,APR and MAY and the corresponding data.
Can anyone please advise, how can we spilt the months and data dynamically in the report.
Regards,
Shruti

well you wanted the columns to be added dynamically. the easiest way would be to use a Pivot since the columns are based on the values in the data. and if the values of that column are Month Name/Abbreviation for that date then you will get month columns.
Have you worked with Pivots before?

Difficult to achive the report layout with dynamic column names

I have a report layout as below.
So here the column names are dynamic.And each fixed row group has different calculations. I have a date parameter. If I select July 2013, then I need to show data from July 2012 to July 2013 with Columns(Jul-12, Aug-12...Jul-13). How to achive below layout
with dynamic columns?

Hi Sarayu_CM,
According to your description, you want to filter the records of prior year based on only one parameter selection. Right?
In this scenario, we can create two parameters. The first one is for user to select. The second parameter is based on the first parameter selection. We don't need to specify Available Values for the second parameter, but we should use expression to specify
Default Values based on the first parameter selection. Use the expression below:
=DateAdd("m",-12,FormatDateTime(Parameters!param1.Value))
Then we just need to apply a filter on the matrix/dataset to get the records which the date is between values in these two parameters.
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Generating dynamic columns for a report

Hi all,
      Can anybody pls. tell me how to output dynamic columns in a report. my req. is that i've to generate so many columns as there are no. of unique(a particular field value) rows in my internal table. for e.g say suppose i've 5 rows in my internal table which has 2 fields, one short text & it's corresponding value. so now my report output shud have 5 columns with the short text as the column heading & the their corresponding values below each column heading. i heard it can be done thru field-symbols. can anyone pls. guide me.

Hi Sushma,
This piece of code might be useful.
The following sections will help you to understand the steps required to define a Dynamic ALV.
Following symbol signifies:
Þ                    Important
Main Steps Required
The following are the main steps that are to be performed for defining a dynamic Alv
1.       Defining a field catalog
2.       Defining the dynamic table
3.       Filling data into the table
4.       Displaying ALV list
Defining a field catalog
The purpose of defining a field catalog first in case of Dynamic ALV is somewhat different than in case of normal ALV. In case of Dynamic ALV the field catalog is used to define the final internal table that will hold the data, and would be used to display the final output.
Þ It is very important to remember that the field catalog table be refreshed first, else it might give an error.
For example:
DATA: T_FIELDCAT TYPE LVC_T_FCAT,
L_FIELDCAT TYPE LVC_S_FCAT.
   Refresh T_FIELDCAT.
CLEAR L_FIELDCAT.
L_FIELDCAT-FIELDNAME = 'LIFNR'.
L_FIELDCAT-INTTYPE = ''.
L_FIELDCAT-OUTPUTLEN = 10.
L_FIELDCAT-COLTEXT = TEXT-002.
APPEND L_FIELDCAT TO T_FIELDCAT.
Defining the dynamic table.
This table will hold the final data that needs to be displayed. To declare the table the following things need to be done.
Declare a field symbol
Displaying Alv List
This is done in the same way as we do for normal Alv. Call function REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY and pass the field catalog table in the export parameters and the dynamic table in Tables.
Reward Points if it is helpful.

Building dynamic columns in BO Report (BO 4.0)

Hi All
To start with I am new to BO and using reporting tool
I have a requirement to create a WEBI report which contain a table with a feature to hide / remove columns based on input selection. ( dynamic columns)
I tried to do this by following concept
In my test scenario table has 3 columns. user will select which columns to show when refreshing the report.
I created 4 tables .
table 1: column 1, column 2 and colum 3
table 2: column 1, column 2
table 3: column 1, column 3
table 4: column 2, column 3
all tables were overlapped in display.
I am trying to hide the table using the property which is available in table properties "Hide when following formula is true"
to display table 1: formula is as follows
=UserResponse("Enter Column") = "column1;column2;column3"
The problem doing this way is
1. selection should happen in a given order
2. If there are mulitple columns , it doesn't make sense to create multiple tables as combination of columns increases.
Is there a better formula to set using user response to achieve the above.
Is there any better way to achieve the above generally.
any suggestion and guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Guruprasad,
PFB link to a good explanation how to display columns dynamically.
http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/09/dynamic-measures-in-webi-on-any-data.html
hide formula for different tables will not be easy when you have more number of columns.
another option is conditional formatting of columns based on a variable value. ie, indirectly hiding it by making background and value color white and keeping dynamic width for column.

Display Dynamic Columns in Crystal Report

Hello,
We are currently using Crystal Reports XI and connecting to an ADO .NET XML file as our data source. In this data souce we have a data table called IDENTIFIERS where every column, except for the ones used for joining tables is dynamic. These column will be different for each database thats its run against.
Is there any way to display these dynamic columns without having consistent column names?
You help is much appreciated.
Thanks,
Adam

Thanks Carl,
We do have control over the data table and a solution like this had crossed my mind. But this might not be practical for other reports that use this data table.
I think another solution would be to create a new data tabl that has all identifiers on their own row as opposed to columns.
id
dentifier
identifier_name
