Dynamically Hiding a Column in a CFGRID

Here's the situation: I've got a flash form with a cfgrid.
That grid has 4 columns. Is it possible to click a separate button
in the form and hide/show one of the grid columns, similar to
altering the "display" attribute of the <cfgridcolumn> tag? I
know it's possible to click a button and hide the entire grid...
Any help or comments would be most appreciated!

Just FYI: I think I solved this by adjusting the column
widths dynamically via Actionscript. There was something odd about
how the grid handled the widths, though. I had to move the column
all the way to the right in the grid and then set it's width to a
negative value to "hide" it, which actually just pushed it off the
screen.
Let me know if you're still having trouble and I can dig up
the code, but it probably won't be that useful if you have to hide
multiple columns.

Changing the Column Header and Hiding the Column dynamically???

Hi friends..
I'm new to OBIEE field. I'm working in a OBIEE project that requires to dynamically change the column header, and dynamically hide the column depending on the prompt value.
I know we can dynamically change the table header using the presentation variable but I couldn't do that same thing with column header.
I searched some forums that suggest to use java script for this purpose but I'm not able to do the same also. If anyone had same issue before please help.

toony, I'm not sure it's possible to do all that you want exactly the way you want, but here are some ideas you can pursue.
To dynamically change column headers without javascript, check this blog out...

As far as dynamically hiding a column, I don't think you can do this, but since you don't provide any details on how the PV is supposed to hide a column based on the value, are you talking about hiding a column for one PV value and another (different) column for a different PV value? Or are you talking about hiding one column when a PV has certain values and displaying it when the PV has a different set of values?
I have managed to create both scenarios via a work-around, but the procedures require some writing so I don't want to put both. Please detail how you want your PV to "hide" a column or columns.
P.S. I don't think column selectors will do the trick for you. Basically column selectors work like this: Say you have a report using Sales Region ID, Region Name, and Sales. Now let's say you want the user to choose if he/she wants to see annual sales, or quarter sales or weekly sales, etc. The column selector view would allow you to put the various columns (Year Sales, Quarter Sales, Weekly Sales) as an option the user can select. Once selected, the sales figure will change for the time period selected. For an example of how this is done, check out the section in this "Oracle by Example" link.

Hiding Table Columns with the Spry Element Selector

I am trying to set up a toggle button that will show/hide
rows >1 when clicked. I've used Adobe's
"Hiding
Table Columns with the Spry Element Selector" example and it
worked fine with an HTML list, until I linked to actual XML data.
Now it works in reverse. What gives?
Here's the example:

Hiding the column data. What is the point of DBMS_CRYPTO package?

DB version:10g R2
A requirement has come where we need to hide some columns' data from end users.
Trasparent Data Encryption feature wouldn't do the trick as it encrypts the data only at the storage level not at user level.
I've seen PL/SQL codes using DBMS_CRYPTO which encrypts and decrypts input strings like the code mentioned in
Re: Need some hints on using dbms_crypto
What is point of these PL/SQL codes?
They can only be used to create functions which will be called in VIEWS. That is the only use of DBMS_CRYPTO package. Right?
Do you guys have any suggestion in hiding/obfuscating column data? Is creating a view my only option?

One solution to "hide" data (columns or rows) from end users is simply to create a view.
The end user will be granted only access to the view and not to the base tables behind the view. The view will only expose those cloumns and rows that the end users is supposed to see.
Of cause this has nothing to do with encryption. But I don't see anything in your business requirements that needs to use encryption methods.

Dynamic Number of Column in a table

Hi guys,
I have a requirement that needs dynamic number of column in a tale.
It is possible to do this in Adobe forms.
Thanks,
Chirantan

Hello. It of course is possible in Adobe.
You need to write a simple script using JavaScript or FormCalc to hide or show columns according to some special value. You will work with the presence attribute of the object. E.g. MYFIELD.presence = "visible" or "hidden" or "invisible". You will need to change your subforms content to flowed.
Use these guides:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/articles/lc_designer_scripting_basics/lc_designer_scripting_basics.pdf
help.adobe.com/en_US/livecycle/es/FormCalc.pdf
Hope this helps, good luck, Otto

Dynamically set number-columns-spanned

Hi all,
I have a cross tab which has a dynamic number of columns. Each column has a header "Location" (which is determined by the data), but the table also has a master header "Volume" which should span all of the locations. How can I acheive this?
I currently have:
<xsl:attribute xdofo:ctx="block" name="number-columns-spanned">2</xsl:attribute> Volumne
But this is obviously static.
Many Thanks
Andy

Hi lmd2,
Attached is a quick example of one way to do what you are asking. This is only a general example, and there may be a bettter implementation depending on the architecture of your application. The link here also has information on setting the number of sockets for a specific sequence file. Hope this helps.

Dynamic selection of columns in report and print the output

Hi,
I tried to have dynamic selection of columns in SQL query using lexical parameter. The hitch is how to print those selected column in excel ouput ?
Suppose
I have select &col from table_name
Initial value of &col is col1 and in data layout only col1 appears
where &col was replaced with more than a column (col1,col2,col3)
now how to print the column selected at the run time,
i have coded in Before Report Trigger
:cell_val := ' <td><rw:field id:"cl1" src="col1"></rw:field></td>
<td><rw:field id:"cl2" src="col2"></rw:field></td>
<td><rw:field id:"cl3" src="col3"></rw:field></td> ' ;
and this user parameter was replaced in web source using JSP expression
<rw:getvalue id: "v_cell" src:"cell_val"></rw:getvalue>
<rw:foreach src:"g_val">
<table>
<tr>
<% =v_cell%>
</tr>
</table>
</rw:foreach>
but in the output i can see only blank columns
Regards
Suresh

The strings replaced by expression <%= v_cell %>
should print the field values contained in col1,col2,col3 columns, but nothing is printed . i think the custom tags (rw...) are not replaced by the jsp expression properly.

My scenario is little different, let me explain:
My columns will remain same but values changes (based on column formula) according to the selected prompt value
If I select 'Oct' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Oct' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Nov' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Dec' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Jan' of next year only.
Later if I select 'Jul' from prompt then
Curr will contain data for 'Jul' only
Next1 will contain data for 'Aug' only
Next2 will contain data for 'Sep' only
Next3 will contain data for 'Oct' only.
I don't have different columns for each months but the columns are capable to reflect data for any month.
So, how can I reflect the column name as month name for which that contains data.

BI Layout/Template | Table with dynamic number of columns

hi!
i have a problem concerning the creation of a dynamic report with the BI publisher.
in my BI template i need a table with a dynamic number of columns. i have searched the
forums but havent really found a solution for this type of problem.
first of all this is A dummy-structure of my dataset:
<ROWSET>
     <ROW>
          <FIELD1>1</FIELD2>
          <FIELD2>2</FIELD2>
          <FIELD3>3</FIELD3>
          <FIELD4>4</FIELD4>
     </ROW>
     <ROW>
          <FIELD1>a</FIELD2>
          <FIELD2>b</FIELD2>
          <FIELD3>c</FIELD3>
          <FIELD4>d</FIELD4>
     </ROW>
</ROWSET>
in the report the fields represent the columns i need in the table.
the problem is, that the number of the fields vary. in this example i have 4 fields/columns
but another time i may have 6 or 10 etc..
my dataset is always different because i am loading my dataset via a http request which is
returning the needed data in XML.
is there a nativ possibility within the publisher to generate the columns dynamically?
i read about <?split-column-header:group element name?> etc. but this is only for cross-tables.
can anybody give me a hint how to approach this problem?
would be very glad for some advice.
thanks a lot in advance!

Hiding few columns before displaying alv grid output

Hi All,
I struck up at hiding few columns before displaying alv output. I have used used FM: REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY. By using this i am displaying 29 fields to the output. But before displaying the output i want to hide few columns among them, and also those fields have to be avialable for further selection by the user by using layout.
Kindly help me in this,
Regards
Srinivas K

Hi,
In field catalog set NO_OUT='X' for all the columns you want to hide. They will be available when changing layout for ALV, so you can show them at any time.

Hiding select column in LOV results table

Is there a way to hide the select column easily in an LOV popup window? Right now I have a two column results area and it appears the LOV object dynamically adds a column of radio buttons in a column labeled SELECT and another column labeled QUICK SELECT. I wish to hid the SELECT column of radio buttons. It is not there when I look at the personalize link.
So right now the only two columns I have in my LOV mappings are Pay Period and Check Number. The results table renders as:
Select | Quick Select | Pay Period | Check Number |
I want it to not show the SELECT column. Any ideas?
Kris

Kris,
Did you try changing the render property of the table region of the LOV ?

Updating a JTable by hiding/displaying columns

I have a customizable JTable where I display/hide columns according to a users' selection criteria. My code works fine for hiding/displaying columns if the Jtable is opened for the fist time, but doesnot work if I want to hide columns in already displayed table.How do I do it?? Any clue?? I tried
myTabModel.fireTableDataChanged();
but this only works for updating the table data...it does not hide columns for me... when I hide column I just remove desired column like this:
myTable.removeColumn(myTable.getColumn("Column 3"));

Here is the sample code I tried. It worked without any invalidate or repaint or updateUI(). generated using NetBeans

Dynamically Hide IR Columns

Hello,
Is it possible to dynamically hide IR columns. Here's my situation:
I have an IR report that has roughly 60 columns. However, based upon the parameters passed to the report, only about 20 - 25 columns have data in them. The remaining columns contain all Nulls. I want to display only those columns that contain data, and hide those that contain ONLY Null values.
I tried using conditional displays, using column_name is null but it hides the columns whether it contains data or not.
Has anyone else done this, or have a suggestion as to how I can dynamically hide columns based on whether the column contains data? Thanks in advance for any assistance you can provide.
Bob

One way is to create an apex item for each column that you think it may contain null in all rows.
Use that apex item in the conditional display of your related column in interactive report.

Salim
