Freeze Panes Functionality

I am required to develop a report that has a large number of columns. For readability the first 3 columns must remain frozen during horizontal scrolling (much like excel freeze panes).
So far I have achieved this with two regions with different column sets from the same report displayed next to each other, This way I can make the right hand report region scroll (<div> tags in the Header & Footer of this region)while leaving the left hand report static.
This leaves me with a problem where I need to link the pagination of both report regions. I am trying to change the SQL on the right hand report to only return the records displayed in the right hand region, my SQL for the right region Looks something like this but does not work:
Select * from TABLE_NAME WHERE ID IN (:P3_LEFT_REGION)
I believe it is because I am trying to reference a region as a list which I cannot do or am doing wrong.
So my question is "Is there a better way to do this and how?"

wow, it would cost your company so much less if your users can just download into Excel and do the fancy stuff there.
Next they are going to ask you for more Excel-like functionality.

JTextArea with freeze pane functionality

Greetings. I am trying to implement a plain text viewer that has some sort of "freeze pane" functionality (like that found in MS Excel)
I took the approach of using 4 JTextArea and put them into a JScrollPane, its row header, column header and upper-left corner. All these text areas share the same document.
Everything works as expected. When I scroll the lower-right pane, the row and column headers scroll correspondingly. The problem I have is that the document in the lower-right pane now shows duplicate portion of the document that is already showing in the row and column headers.
Knowing that this should merely be a matter of shifting the Viewport on the document, I went through the documentation and java source, and just couldn't find a way to translate the view. SetViewPosition() works to a certain extent, but the scrollbars allow users to scroll back to the origin and reveal the duplicate data, which is undesirable.
Your help with find out a way to relocate the view to the desired location is much appreciated.

Freeze Panes functionality for Web

Hello,
In Microsoft XL, we have freeze Panes functionality with which, columns and rows can be freezed. This is important in the situation where we have too many columns and when want to view last column, rows disappear and difficult to know which rows it is referring to.
Now coming to question, I have BW reports which I am displaying on web browser. Can we freeze the panes on Web browser? Is there some standard functionality to do the same? Do we have some standard script for the same.
Please do suggest.
Regards
Pank

In BW 3.5 it is standard functionality using the properties of the TABLE Web Item namely...
Number of data columns displayed at one time (BLOCK_SIZE_COLUMNS)
Columns scrolled per step (BLOCK_STEP_SIZE_COLUMNS)
Additionally the same is possible for setting the table size in rows...
Number of data rows displayed at one time (BLOCK_SIZE)
Rows scrolled per step (BLOCK_STEP_SIZE)
for releases lower that BW 3.5

Excel freeze panes on WEB APPLICATIONS

Hi Experts,
Does anybody know how to implement something like the "excel freeze panes functionality" (freeze columns headers on top of the pages) for web applications?
We are using BW 7.0 (SAP Netweaver 2004s BI).
Thanks in advance.
Best regards,
Raphael

Hi Raphael,
Did you check the Analysis Item Properties, you should be able to define how many Data Columns to be displayed, I dont have my system now but i think you can set a Web Property for this, or you can simply write javascript function for this
thanks,

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers and firefox

Drag and drop not working. When trying to move a cell or icon the shadow of the cell or icon being moved appears under the cursor but can't be released causing a freeze of function within the program. Happens in finder numbers, firefox, and when trying to move any file from the downloads folder.
This is a serious pain.
Please help.

Yes, all I can tell you is that Finder does not have that function in ML. Your system is "working as expected".

Can pp col headings act like freeze pane in excel

Hi. We run 2012 enterprise. Can co headings on my pivot table scroll as freeze pane does in regular excel? How?

Hi, your Situation is as follow?:
You have a powerpivot model, and a pivot-table based on this PP data, created with Excel 2013
Now you want the Pivot-table columns to freeze if you scroll down the Excel sheet?
IMHO you can't do this because Excel has no Feature to freeze Pivot-table column, but can freeze columns of Excel table objects
You can get PP data into a Excel table object by creating a DAX Query, see:
http://www.sqlbi.com/articles/linkback-tables-in-powerpivot-for-excel-2013

Freeze panes, like in Excel?

Can we have the freeze panes effect in Flex? I like my top
component staying at the same position in the page while I can
scroll the bottom part up and down. Thanks

Sure.
A Flex app consists of navigators, containers and display
components. Use two containers, and only enable scrolling in the
one you want.
I suggest you set vertical and horizontalScrollPolicy="off"
for all your containers, including Application. Turn them on where
you specifically want them. The default behavior,
scrollPolicy="auto" often works, but also becomes very confusing
when you have deeply nested containers, and scrollbars start
popping up all over the place.
