Format problem in csv reports

Hello,
I've a report-column (varchar2).
In the excel-column this column is displayed as 1,23457E+11 but the origin value is 123456789012. I have the same behavior with a number column.
So I have to format this column in excel to number.
Afterwards the value is displayed fine.
Can I solve this problem in HTMLDB so that our end-users mustn't change the column type?
Thanks in advance
Regards
Ulrike

Hi,
Try in the report query something like that:
select TO_CHAR(exchange_rate, 'FM99999999.999') from currencies;
Choose format mask appropriate for your needs.
That should solve the problem.

Date format Problem in forms&reports Services 10g

Hi Dears,
I Faced a problem during running reports ( i am using forms& Reports Services 10g), when i pass the parameters via parameter form to the report (built in forms10g Rel 2.0) its appearing in arabic like (25-يناير-2010) as my Date Formate is (DD-YYYY-MON) and NLS_LANG parameter is defined as Arabic_Saudi arabia.AR8MSWIN1256 so as a result report is not running due to unknown Date formate, how can i change the Same Date format (DD-YYYY-MON) to appear in english like (25-2010-JAN)
Thanks

You could specify the parameter as type VARCHAR2, explicitly cast it (maybe to DD.MM.YYYY) when you pass it from forms and cast it back in your query, like TO_DATE(:P_PARAM, 'DD.MM.YYYY')

Numerical Characters Formatting Problem With XML Report Output Run From Command Line

Hi,
Problem description is:
When a BI Publisher concurrent job is submitted as a child job of a PL/SQL type concurrent request, the locale in OPP is not set same as of RTF template selected. This results in number format and date format localization not work as expected. For example, when BI Publisher child job is submitted after attaching RTF template (through fnd_request.add_layout API) having language-territory as de-DE, the number format on PDF output comes out as 9,999.00 instead of 9.999,00.
Points to notice:
1. In OPP log we noticed that xslt._XDOLOCALE always has value EN-GB irrespective of language-territory of attached RTF template
2. NLS_NUMERIC_CHARACTER column in fnd_concurrent_request table has no value for BI Publisher job. We can set it up through fnd_request.set_options API but it is not a desired solution. We need that OPP should automatically choose correct number format depending on locale of selected RTF template
3. When same child BI Publisher job's output is re-processed through "XML Publisher Report" program and de-DE locale is chosen for RTF template then the number format localization works fine.
Please help us to understand root cause of this issue and how it can be resolved.
Thanks!

Formatting problem in download report into EXCEL Sheet

I have requirement that the Column in the report have values as 1.50,1.5,3.50,when i'm downloading the report into Excel sheet,The values are rounded and appearing as 1.5,1.5,3.5.
Can anyone please let me know how to resolve this requirement

hi,
1) Excel will not take zero's after decimal(1.50) it will roundup(1.5) the values.
2) you can do like in formula section use CAST(column_name as CHAR) and download it to excel then u will get the zero i think...i didn't tried
or Column properties--->Data format --> Select Number--->use 1000's Seperator for 1 decimal and save the report and download it
but it should work!
thanks,

Problem in exporting report in CSV format

Hi All,
I am using Crystal Reports. Following are details about it:
CR Developer
Product 8.5.0.217
*_Problem that I am facing:__*_
I can create report in .rpt format, it is working fine here. But while trying to export this report in CSV format, it gives report that doesn't contain any information.
Is it because I am missing something or it is a known issue?
Thanks and Regards,
Anand

Hi,
I too am facing the same problem.
The report was made in 8.5. I have exported the report & opened it in Crystal report 12.
I can export to PDF, RTF, DOC & Tab separated Test.
However when I export this report in .csv (legacy mode) I just get the header & when I export it in .csv (Standard) I get a blanck .csv file.
I have checked 'Isolate Report/Page sections' and 'Isolate Group sections'. Still no data in the report.
refreshed it too.
I contains sub reports, but not in the page header & footer (I think) & it does not seem to have cross tabs & OLAP grids.
Any help is appreciated.

Saving a CSV report output as TXT file

Hi,
We are generating reports on the web using Intenet Explorer. The report is a CSV report, i.e. the data displayed is comma separated. After generating the report, we need to save it as TXT file.
If the length of a line is long (let us say more than 80 chars) while saving it as TXT file, it is saving as 2 lines. If the length of a line is less, then it is saving in a single line.
How can I avoid this 2 line problem?
I am not facing this problem if I generate report with Netscape browser and save as TXT file.
We are using Reports 6i.
Thanks in Advance,
Srinivas

Hello,
I had the same problem. And I think what I did to fix it is I made the mode=charcter, batch=yes, and background=yes. Hope this helps.

Hello,
Do you use the Oracle Forms builtin WEB.SHOW_DOCUMENT ?
If yes , take a look to : "IE7 windows opened and closed immediatly"
http://www.experts-exchange.com/Software/Internet_Email/Web_Browsers/Internet_Explorer/Q_23304982.html
You can test the solution suggested :
We have found the setting that we needed, under the Internet Options
Security tab, if you select the internet zone, and click the custom level
button, then scroll down to the Downloads section, the first option is
Automatic prompting for file downloads, setting this to enable keeps IE 7
from interfering with this sort of download.

Htmlcss Problem in calling Report using Forms 6i

Hi
My form6i server is on win2000 server.
I am calling Reports(Report6i) using forms 6i, my problem is when html report get generated in a IE browser, cell border AND background color are not coming, i tried desformat property set as htmlcss even tho i not get proper output. i only get report without borders.
Q1 ) My quetion is how i can get web html report with cell background and cell border using Report6i calling from forms 6i.
Q2 ) MY forms 6i service always get hagged after 2..3 hr, when restart it, i get my form in a browser. but again after some time my service get in some invalid state, how i can solve this problem.
thanks
sudarshan s vatturkar

Sudarshan,
Q1 ) My quetion is how i can get web html report with cell background and cell border using Report6i calling from forms 6i.
Reports6i does not support cell background colors in html format. Htmlcss in Reports does render table borders, but it does so in the color that is assigned to teh table in teh building environment
Q2 ) MY forms 6i service always get hagged after 2..3 hr, when restart it, i get my form in a browser. but again after some time my service get in some invalid state, how i can solve this problem.
This is hard to answer via the forum as it may have platform dependencies. If this is a serious issue then I recommend consulting Oracle customer support.

Problems with a report generated as PDF

I am having a problem with my report when it is generated as a PDF file from the reports server. A space is added soon after the letter w in all the words where there is letter w; for example, the word awake appears as aw ke, will appears as w ill, etc. Does anyone know how to fix this problem? I am using Reports 11g. Thanks.

Hi
In layout change the font (Redo font) thru menu option (Not Font) Format -> Font >Western.
This may solve your problem...

Hello,
These kinds of problems were reported before. Are you using the order by clause in your select statement? It seems to solve all the problems I've encountered of this sort.

Increase width for Excel and CSV reports

HI ,
I am having problem with data in Excel and CSV reports , since the data is large and the width of the column is fixed its is displaying ###### ,
can u suggest me how to make the wodth of the columns variable depending upon the data passed.
I want to know how to increase the width of column in Excel and csv reports dynamically.
Thanks & Regards
Dipty

What has this to do with JSF?
It is obvious that it is a setting/bahaviour of Excel. Just doubleclick at the right column border, then it will be widen according to the largest cell contents.

Conditional Column Formatting in an Interactive Report?

Is it possible to add conditional column formatting in an Interactive Report in Apex 4.1? I've found numerous examples for older versions using the standard (classic) report, but I haven't found any with the new Interactive Report. Is this possible? and if so, can someone point me in the direction of some documentation or examples?
I simply want to change the color of the text depending on whether a column has a value (eg. Error or Problem).
Thanks

Oracle Application Express (APEX)
As interactive reports lack the HTML Expression feature of standard reports, the simple way to do this unfortunately requires violating the separation of concerns and generating structural (a <tt>span</tt> element) and presentational (an in-line style sheet) aspects in the query:
select
⋮
       , case
           when trunc(calling_date,'DD') = trunc(sysdate,'DD')
           then
             '<span style="color: #3399FF;">' || to_char(calling_date) || '</span>'
           else
             '<span>' || to_char(calling_date) || '</span>'
         end calling_date
⋮For number/date columns to be properly sortable, the leading edge of the column must be an HTML comment that provides the required sort order using character semantics, as shown here.
The Display As column attribute for such columns must be set to Standard Report Column.
This method has side effects: some IR filters won't work; aggregate calculations can't be applied to the column; and report exports contain the HTML rather than the expected value.
Other approaches involve using Dynamic Actions/jQuery/JavaScript, or using the built-in highlight as suggested above, then saving the highlighted report as the default.
