Formula Column in Report template

I have a report template to use in all the report. I want to have a formula column on it to take a control value(location/Organization) where the report is being printing. Is it possible to have a formula column in a report template? if it possible how can I do it? otherwise how can i achieve this task?
Thank in advance
Muza.

What is the application release?
Can you find any details about the error in the OPP log file?
Please search MOS website for "Cannot view XML input using XSL style sheet" and go through the docs.
Thanks,
Hussein

Syntax of formula column in data template

Hi All,
I am trying to generate XML output from Data Template. But I am struggling with how to implement formula column. I am using this syntax. But it is not working. Please anybody send me working formula column syntax.
<element name="PO_NUMBER" value="PO_NUMBER" />
<function name="CF_DUMMY" dataType="number" >
<textSource>
<! [CDATA [
function CF_DUMMY return number is
begin
return 3;
end;
]]>
</textSource>
</function>
</group>

The call is done directly in the query.
In your Template header you can reference the database package to use this for example for triggers in your template:
<dataTemplate .... defaultPackage="myPackage" ...>
Then your Query looks like
<sqlStatement name="Q_2">
<![CDATA[select empno,ename,myPackage.cf_myformula(sal, comm) as Income from emp WHERE deptno=:abeilung]]>
</sqlStatement>
In your dataStructure Section you than can reference the formula like any other column
<element name="INCOME" dataType="number" value="INCOME"/>
Additionaly you can have triggers like before report trigger, where the logic is in the same database package:
<dataTrigger name="beforeReport" source="myPackage.beforeRepLogic"/>

Formula Column in Report 9i Builder

Hi,
I use this configuration
Report Builder 9.2.0.1.0
Windows XP Service Pack 1
NLS_LANG "BRAZILIAN PORTUGUESE_BRAZIL.WE8ISO8859P1"
When I try to create a formula column that returns number, I have to choose datatype 'Nu'mero' (with accented u)as this is the only avaiable in the combo box. However when I write this PL/SQL code for the column:
function CF_17Formula return Number is
begin
RETURN(1);
end;
Reports gives me the message:
REP-0737: Deve ser uma funcao com retorno do tipo 'nu'mero'.
In English this message could be
REP-0737: Should be a function with return type 'nu'mero'.
I don't have this problem with Character or Date formula columns (these datatypes are called Caracter and Data in Portuguese).
It seems that Reports is having problems with u' (accented u) character. If I change NLS_LANG to AMERICAN_AMERICA.WE8ISO8859P1 everything works fine because I can choose Number in the Formula Column Datatype in the Property Inspector.
The problem is in the function declaration not in the Return statement.
Could anyone help me? Tks.

Edmar,
You are right. I could reproduce this issue.
I have filed a bug to fix it from the development in next patch

Carl - Show Hide columns and report templates

Carl,
I've implemented the show/hide report column techniques from your demo pages. Thanks for that, it's working well.
I am having a slight issue. I'm using theme12, and when I implement the technique there with the alternating row color template, the functionality works fine. But when I switch to standard report template I have some issues.
Debugging the code :
function html_HideCellColumn(pId){
35 var l_Cell = html_GetElement(pId);
36 var l_Table = html_CascadeUpTill(l_Cell,'TABLE');
37 var l_Rows = l_Table.rows;
38 l_CellI = getCellIndex(l_Cell.parentNode,l_Cell)
39 for (var i=0;i<l_Rows.length;i++){
40 html_HideElement(l_Rows.cells[l_CellI]);
41 }
42 return;
the pId is what expect before line 35, but after, it looks like the html_GetElement is returning null.
Is there something in the template that would cause this change? I am able to reproduce this behavior consistently. Thanks for any input.

Hello,
The table headers in the standard report template of that theme are missing the id attribute so changing this.
<th class="t12header" #ALIGNMENT# >#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
to
<th class="t12header" #ALIGNMENT# id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>
and your good to go.

Place Holder Formula column in reports doing problem

Hi
I am working on some existing reports where there are many palceholders formula coloumns using no return values and they are blank and giving me errors
can anybody tell me what should i write on that place holder formula columns for the return values
should i write return 0 fro number and return null for char
or any other values from some package or field
please guide me
Thanks
Junaid

palceholders formula coloumns Are they placeholder Items or formula items ? As you say they are missing return values i would guess its formula-items.
should i write return 0 fro number and return null for char In general, formual items should return some meaningful value depending on the requirement behind the report, if they do not:
Are they used somewhere in the report ? If not, delete them instead of returning some useless value. If they are used, you're up to the requirement again and have to check whats the sense behind it.

Formula line in Report painter

Hello,
Can I use 'IF' phrase in Formula column in Report painter ? If so what's the right Syntax .
Thank you,
Ran.

Hi Ran,
Glad to hear from you too!
Did you put '.' in the formula at the end of the message? You shouldn't in this kind of statement, so the expression should be:
IF X005 > 0 THEN X004 + X003 + X005 ELSE X004 + X003
Regards,
Eli
P.S. I tried it, just in case, and it works.

Interactive report template

Hi,
How can I change the template for interactive reports? Can I use a custom template for an interactive report?
Regards,
Eugene

Hi,
BTW, if anyone cares, you can still include the sortable column headers into the Row Level templates. Basically just copy the header out of the Column-based Report template and paste it into your custom Row-Level template.
For example:
<th#ALIGNMENT# foobar id="#COLUMN_HEADER_NAME#" class="t13ReportHeader">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th>I had a gotcha with mine where the column header section started indented one column to the left, due to something in the region header (I guess?). I couldn't figure out how to fix it without a kludge. So I simply closed the previous table row then started a new one by pasting it into the region header.
</tr><tr>Inelegant but functional! :-/
Just trying to pass on little hacks as I learn.
Your mileage may vary...

Formula column equivalent in Data Template

Hi all,
I'm working with my first data template and fumbling my way through. I was able to generate the XML output and apply my template. I have some idea on how to burst too, but I'm stuck on how to get the current user's email address. In Oracle Reports, I could just create a formula column and get any specific information needed. How do I do the same in Data Templates?
TIA,
Alka

HI,
Can I know How can we create the formula column like if then else logic in the Data template?

Export Oracle report formula column to XMLP

hi
i am thinking about exporting an rdf report to xmlp and i am worried about keeping my formula columns in the xmlpublisher report.
what is gonna happen to them ?
thx
Dan

If you are using Oracle Reports XML output as the datasource, the formula column will be in the XML, recognizable by the tag name. If you are using a data template to produce the datasource, the formula colum can be defined in the template.

Report Template href with column value

I have created a Report template and want to have a field that is a href with link to other page passing column value. I'm having trouble passing the column value. If I hard code the value the href code works. If I try to pass #1# or the column name with # surrounding the link doesn't work. Any ideas would be appreciated.
This works:
<td><img src="/i/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit Icon">
</td>
This doesn't:
<td><img src="/i/edit.gif" border="0" alt="Edit Icon">
</td>
