Expand report width

I have created a pivot table using 5 measures and 19 dimensions (a fairly wide report).
From within the "Results" tab, each time I add a dimension, the report automatically adjusts the column widths of all other dimensions. If I specifiy column widths using Format Values > Additional Fomatting Options > Wiidth = 500, the the column (dimension) just edited will widen but other columns (dimensions) will narrow to compensate for the 500 entered. I have also attempted to widen respective columns from within the "Criteria" tab with the same result as described above. Seemingly there is a finite width within which the pivot table must be built and any additional dimensions added beyond this width will result in columns being narrowed in size.
This has the effect of displaying long value strings which wrap around to 4-5 lines, rather than being able to widen the column to display the value on a single line. For example:-
Desired result.........
Supplier Name
Alfred Lewis Engineering Pty Ltd
Actual result (after widening other columns)......
Supplier Name
Alfred
Lewis
Engineering
Pty Ltd
Is there a pre-set or default width for pivot tables? Can this width be changed? If so, where can this be done?
Can pivot tables be built to accommodate absolute column width rather than relative column width?
Besides removing dimensions, is there another way of achiveing desired column width for a wide report?
Thanks

Worked it out.

Interactive report - Is there an easy way to expand the width of a column to allow for more data on a line.

Example.
One of the columns in my interactive report is labelled Notes.
The data in the column looks like
I really
enjoy
typing up
notes,
please
disregard
Is there any way to get this note all on one line - or atleast expand the width to increase or decrease the number of characters per line.
So either

Hi Mikez,
You can also consider to render your "Notes"-column as a textarea, eg:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=vincentdeelen:23:
For the text area you can define the default number of rows and column width you want. You render a column as text area with an apex_item function:
select apex_item.textarea(3,NOTES,1,80) from MY_TABLE
Where 3 is the index number that you want your NOTES colum to have and 1 and 80 stand for row and column width respectively. When you use apex_item for a column, make sure to set that column as "Standard Report Column" under "Report Attributes".

Report width in report builder 6i

Hi Experts,
I am working on report builder 6i reports. I want to increase the report width in the layout.
I click on layout, properties, i changed the width to 700 for header, body and footer section.
But when i run the report from concurrent program, it's giving error.
Error: REP-1212: Object 'Body' is not fully enclosed by its enclosing object
Could some body help me, how to fix this issue.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply. To get rid off that error, i did the following thing.
I set the width as 132, and height as 62 of header, main body and trailer section in report builder.
In Concurrent program window also, i set the column as 132 and rows as 62, and style as BAC.
When i submit the report through concurrent program, it's working fine.
Now i changed the width of the report to 200 and height to 66.
Now, i want to change the style to A4 in concurrent program window. I don't have A4 style in list of values. I went to SYSTEM ADMINISTRATOR ---> INSTALL --> PRINTER --> TYPES. (Added A4 style to all types)
Now i changed the columns to 200 and rows to 66 and style as A4.
Now, it's showing below error.
ERROR: APP-FND-00314:INVALID PRINTER.
Again i selected BAC style and try to submit the program, it's giving different error.
REP-1219: 'Body' has no size - length or width is zero.
Could somebody help me to solve the issue. (Why it's giving above error after adding the A4 style to all types of printers) and why did i get the previous errors (REP-1212, Body fully not enclosed).
Kindly help me, it's urgent.
Thanks.

Could it be because A4 is actually 11.5" by 8.5" ?

In fact the ISO standard is 8.3" × 11.7". 8.5" x 11" is "Letter", which nobody uses any more.

How to reduce report width programatically?

Hi All,
Iam placing around 38 filelds in report and increased the report section width in Main Section to 40. Iam using formating triggers to these 38 fields.Based on the parameters passed these fields will be displayed. some times there will be only 10 fileds in the report and remaining it shows blank space.I dont want that blank space.
"Is it possible to change that report main section width programatically?"
Thanks in Advance

Hi Girish,
I don't think it will be easy to adjust report width programmatically and move controls accordingly. It will be advisable to go for matrix report with format trigger to hide blank columns.

Making Worksheet logic work with Dynamically expanding report

Hello,
Sorry if its basic, but I am trying to understand how can I make worksheet logic work with dynamically expanding reports? Because if the expansion parameters change, it stops producing correct values for me. Please advise.
Thanks.

Hi Zack,
Now I understood your problem.
Actually, when the expansion changes, it deletes the columns, and then shifts the subsequent columns with the appropriate expansion. So, if you have the formula somewhere in between, you will lose it. If you put it in the beginning, then it will be copied to all the cells. You need to put it at the end. But, you are saying this is viable for your scenario.
My suggestion would be you can try to break the single expansion into multiple expansions using the pipe (|) character, and place the formula in one of them.
Hope this helps.

How can I fix report width?

How can I fix report width? I have 10-15 columns in the report and when I show report it goes outside the screen,how can I show this optimally to the users?

Hi,
You can specify the Width of the Section (where you are displaying the Report) to show the report within that area.
Navigation: Page Options ==> Edit Dashboard ==>Section Properties ==> Format Section ==> Additional Formatting Options ==>Width (say =200)

How to make a script for expand column width

Hi experts,
Is that possible to make a script for expand the column width aim to let the columns show up all the overset text?
Regard
John

Hi John,
As Uwe advised it would be wise to put a stop on any while loop in case the condition is never fulfilled which would mean the script will break.
Without knowing what specifically you are working on you could make the below amendments to do this.
myTables = app.documents[0].stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements();
for (var t = 0; t < myTables.length; t++) {
    BE_resizeColumnsToFitContents(myTables[t], 200);
function BE_resizeColumnsToFitContents(tableToEdit, tableMaxWidth) {
    for (var i = 0; i < tableToEdit.columns.length; i++) {
        while (tableToEdit.columns[i].overflows === true) {
            if (tableToEdit.width < tableMaxWidth) {
                tableToEdit.columns[i].width += 1;
                tableToEdit.columns[i].recompose();
            else {
                alert("Column " + i + " contents too large for column.");
                break;
I won't put any extra functions in this because it might not be what you're after. To use this you just define the table width as a second argument to the function (but you could change this parameter to something else, like page, column or cell width). And, if you want to have a fail action you just put it in the 'else' part.

Hi
i m also face this problem so if u have any Idea plz inform me :
Printer Used : EPSON LQ 2180 , EPSON LQ 1170
O/S : Windows 98, Windows NT (Server, Workststation)
We are facing a problem regarding character report printing. We have tested several options on different printers but the results are quiet strange. We are not sure whether its the problem of printer driver or does our oracle installation require a patch for it.
We have both Oracle Developer 6i Release 1 and Release 2 as fronted and Oracle 8i (8.1.7) release 3 at backend. The actual problem is , we are printing character based Report of size 11 x 5.5 on Line printer. When we print the pay slip through Windows NT WorkStation environment the report format gets distorted but when we print on Windows 98 it is quiet fine.
P.S I have noted one thing peculiar, when the printer is attached to Windows NT Workstation to its LPT port and we print from a Windows 98 client using the default PRT of Oracle the printout is fine as expected. We can control the pitch and font from the printer.(17 cpi and Draft Font)
When using Windows NT client and default PRT of Oracle the printout is not coming the same as desired and there is no control over the pitch and fonts through the printer itself.
The printer we are using are EPSON LQ 2180 , EPSON LQ 1170 and PRINTRONIX P5005B. One thing more that when we use EPSON LQ 2180 and EPSON LQ 1170 printers the result are quiet different from PRINTRONIX P5005B.
The Contents of prt file (dflt.prt) is following:
printer "dflt"
height 66
width 132
before report control(N)
after page control(L)
return control(M)
linefeed control(J)
We urgently need the solution.

Mansoor Ali
