Export to CSV Option - no data found

Hi
I have an app with various report regions that work fine on-line. They typically take one or more values from select lists as input to the where clause, and have summary processing based on first or first and second columns. It seems that some reports export to csv just fine, but others produce a csv file with just the 'no data found' message ? Any ideas ?
cheers
Jules

Hi Chris
I think I understand what happens now - i.e. the CSV export runs in a separate session from the on-line page. Your suggestion has fixed the proplem - by having a button to redirect / resubmit back to the same page the csv export then picks up the right data.
However I do not understand why as this seems no different to having a one or more parameter fields defined as 'select list with re-direct', which I do. Any further explanation appreciated.

"Export to CSV" option is not working.

Hi,
When I am trying to use "Export to CSV" option for "Item Price Deviation" report.
The issue happened, when we lock filter on "Spend by Category" report and then opened Item Price Deviation report. Then I selected More Actions --> "Export to CSV". But no File download pop up shown up.
Is it a known bug?
Regards
Gowtham

Hi,
Does give you message on the top of IE about File download blocked because of pop up blocker settings. I had faced similar issue but everytime you turn off the popup blocker and you should be able to download the report. Also try to download the report from other laptop to segregate this problem as application problem or desktop issue

CSV output No data found

Hello,
My HTMLDB report displays data, but when a CSV file is generated, 'No data found' displays. Any ideas??

Yes the above mentioned Computation worked for me.
Here's what I did on the page in question.
Create a new Page Computation
Type: Static Assignment
Computation Point: Before Header
Computation: ALL
Condition Type: Value of Item in Expression 1 is NULL
Expression 1: P8_FILTER_BY_TEAM (the name of the page item that needs the default session state set.)
The conditional is important because if a person changes the value and submits the page we want to hold that new value in session state and filter the result set accordingly. However, if the page item is NULL then we're simply extending the display default value to also be the session state default for P8_FILTER_BY_TEAM.

CSV file no data found

Hi all
I am new to APEX development. please help in below
I have two report pages (interactive reports). Let say
Page1 : Department Page (List of Departments) link to Page2
Page 2: List of Employee for selected Department - PageItem (P_DEPARTMENT)
this report table has source as (select * from emp where department_id = : P_DEPARTMENT)
Now when i click 'Download' and select 'Excel' format -> I can see data is getting downloaded for Page1
but not for Page2 for this page..when i download i see blank data in excel sheet.
I have seen couple of old threads on this same TOPIC
Re: Strange caching error in exporting a report to csv (AppEx v2.0)
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=31517:1:4124351071686
Suggestion is "compute your items on load - before header. This means to set the items to a kind
of a default value they should have at the start"
I was not very clear on above statement and can any one suggest me how to proceed to solve this issue
i.e how to 'compute your items on load - before header' I am trying to export data in PAGE2 into an excel file.
THanks

The threads you found a regarding session state typically in Classic Reports - and if this is a parameter coming from another and you already see data in your IR on the page, then you have a different problem.
And your other problem may be trickier to track - a search on "oracle apex blank interactive report csv" found these
download IR to excel produces an empty report -- automatic csv encoding - what's your language?
blank csv from interactive report -- process removing data - unlikely in your case, but see how different these issues are?
Can you set up a test case on apex.oracle.com?

Webi Error when exporting to csv

Hello everybody,
I have a report in Webi, but when I export to csv, then duplicated data and not processed the tildes.
Someone could help me.
regards,
Edited by: Pedro Luis Aaron Robles on Aug 25, 2011 3:56 PM

I don't recall where I read it, but this is by design.
Export to csv if you want a data dump. No design elements of the report will be taken into account.
Export to Excel if you want to print your blocks.
Could you explain a little better what you mean about tildes?

Report export to csv - no data found in report

Hi all,
I've followed the steps to export my report to a csv file. In the Report Attributes, Report Export section I have:
Enable CSV output: Yes Separator: , Enclosed By:
Link Label: Export
Filename: Changes.xls
But when I open it in excel, no data found is the only test showing in cell A1.
Is there something else I need to do? I don't understand why it's not exporting my report - there is data on my screen in the report.
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
Have a look in my blog:

There is an explanation on how to avoid that.

Csv no data found when using bind variables

Hi,
I have created a report, that uses 2 date variables to limit the query and rows display as they should. But clicking the csv link opens csv having one row stating 'No data found...'. If I set static values in place of variables, I get the right result. How could I use bind variables and get the right answer in csv (without coding my own function)?
Kaja

I am having the same problem.
The export link opens a new session without submitting the current page. The page item values are therefor not saved to cache before the export is undertaken.
Any report using page item bind variables in the where clause will not export correctly as the bind values are either null or those of the previous page submit.
Any ideas on how to get round this??

No data found in csv output

I have a classic (non-interactive) report that shows some strange behaviour.
It's a simple page with a report region.
On the report attributes page under 'report export' the value for 'Enable CSV output' is set to 'Yes' and 'Link label' has a meaningful discription.
In the development database it works as expected:
When I run the page the data is displayed and when I click the link for csv output I can either save or open the file. In both cases I find the data I expect in the csv file.
In production, however, when I run the page the data is displayed, but when I click the link for csv output the resulting csv file just shows "No Data Found"
I can imagine the report not returning any data, but in that case I shouldn't see any data on screen either.
And it's extra weird that in development it all works fine.
Anybody that can offer any help?
Thanks in advance.

Hi Eric
I would never dream of telling anyone not to argue with me :D I've been wrong before and will be again, no doubt!
For the DIV problem, I was more concerned with < appearing in the output rather than the SQL statement itself - generally problems such as this happen when something on the page is incorrectly formed. When you get a chance, in FireFox, install the Web Developer add-on. When this is installed, on the right-hand end of its toolbar, you will see three buttons - the last two tell you about css and javascript errors. For HTML errors, if you have a text editor that has syntax highlighting, do a View Source on the loaded page, take a copy of the source and paste it in to a new document in the text editor. Save this with an HTML file extension. This should colour-highlight everything. It should become obvious what is wrong as you tend to end up with way too much in the same colour. Finally, on the loaded page, right-click on the DIV text and select Inspect Element - this switches you to a heirarchical view of the HTML on the page in the FireBug pane. Follow the tree up from the DIV and have a look at the structue - at some point, something will look wrong.

Getting no data found error while CSV download

Hi,
I have a report generated from the PL/SQL returning the query and I enabled the CSV Download option. But, when I try downloading the report contents using CSV download option, the excel sheet contains message "no data found". I enabled sorting and sum on few columns. Is it anywhere related to CSV download? Any solution would be really helpful..
Thanks,
Prabhakar

Thanks for the help!! yep, it is indeed the wrong session state value. In the report, I was modifying the value to display the report, hence when CSV download is given, it was taking wrong session state value. So, giving "no data found" error. Probably, this may help some people.

Can not view/export a report which has 2 group by field when no data found

Recently I developed a report, which contains 2 group by fields. it runs successfully when the report displays some data.
but when there is no data, i cann't view/export this report.
It shows nothing by html format and shows "this file cannot be opened because it has no pages" message by pdf format.
even there is no records for this report, i still want to see the template file and show some basic information.
please help me.
Daniel

I've found that, just like I used to do in Oracle Reports, if you put in a COUNT column to count your returning rows, you can put 'No Data Found' when there's no data. That way, your report will return and not error out.
For .pdfs, this is the code I use; COUNT with code of <?if:count(field_name)=0?>.
In the .rtf..
COUNT
No Data Found
END COUNT
Put this in the .rtf before your data should appear or else it won't work.
Hope this helps!

Hi Adrian,
Why don't you try any another software for opening CSV files then Notepad ? According to my experience, you can use these softwares to open an CSV files and they are:-
Microsoft Excel
Open Office Calc
Google Docs
Also there is an additional tool available known as CSV viewer. You may try this, download it from here http://www.csvviewer.com/
I've never used Notepad for opening CSV files, because sometimes it contains some symbols which are not not at all compatibile with Notepad.

Search report - error-no data found when printing to csv format

Hi all,

Still when i try to print it in the csv format , and try to open the excel, it is saying "no data found" error
Please, Could any one give me a solution to solve this bug?
Note: Ordinary report is getting printted in the csv format.
Thanks in advance

Hi Denes and Scott,
sorry, only when i select the values for all the 4 select list
csv is working. default values are not restored in the session.
How to restore the values in the session state after pressing the search button.
i have set the default values for the select list and the query is working fine
but when i see the session from the toolbar the default values are not present.
but when i see the debug from the toolbar the values are set properly.
@Denes
In your example the session is showing the values of the select list and check box
The same way i did, but in "session" values are not seen so again no data found is seen when printing csv .
Bye
