Grab row id from report column

Apex 4.2
I'm having an issue pulling an ID from a report column. Here's the scenario
I have a report based on the query:
select Inspection_Name, Activation_Status, Activate, Deactivate, Activation_Date, Inspection_Sector_Id
from Inspections
where Event_Id = :P0_Event_IdThis report is based on a select list at the top of the page. The user selects an event from the select list and the report is populated. The query for the select list is:
select event_name, event_id
from Water_EventsSimple enough so far. Each row is identified by the Inspection_Sector_Id. I want to be able to turn each row under the 'Activate' and the 'Deactivate' columns into links. I have accomplished this by turning this field into a link. The link needs to navigate to a page that has that rows Inspection_Sector_Id, but am not sure how to grab that Id. I am navigating via URL on the link, i.e. f?p=application_id:page_id:session......
Hope I explained this well enough. Thanks in advance for your help

Creating column links is essentially the same in interactive and standard reports.
Set item values on the target page using the Name/Value fields in the Column Link section, using report column substitution strings to reference report column values: <tt>#INSPECTION_SECTOR_ID#</tt>

Hi Nr
Here is how I approached this problem.
Go to report attributes tab
under column attributes check PLSQL radio button.
Create a function to return the heading of your report as shown below in your database.
create function get_heading return clob as
v_request VARCHAR2(20) := V('REQUEST');
v_col_heading CLOB;
begin
IF INSTR(v_request,'FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT',1) > 0 THEN
v_col_heading := 'Employee Number:Employee Name';
ELSE
v_col_heading := 'Employee breaktag Number:Employee break tag Name';
END IF;
return v_col_heading;
end;
Type the function below under ( Function returning colon delimited headings:) as follows.
return get_heading;
Similarly for data base it on PLSQL function body returning SQL and follow the same approach as headings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks

Passing value from Report Column to Javascript

Dear Apex wizards,
I am a bit stuck right now with implementing a modal pop-up/iframe/javascript and this forum is my last hope to fix this issue.
Anyway, will try to explain what I am trying to accomplish.
What I need is: I want to have an SQL report, as a very first column I want to have an "ID" numbers from my table and I want this column to have a "Column Link" set in "Column Attributes" proper ties. The trick is, that when I click on the column link (when I run my report on Apex page) I need a JQuery modal window to pop-up where in IFrame will be another page and this page will use an "ID" from my column link URL to display data. So, basically I want to pass an "ID" value from my parent page to my child page which is displayed in iFrame of modal window.
And here is what I have:
1. I do have an SQL report:
select SUBNET_ID,
       long2ip(NETWORK_ADDRESS),
       long2ip(SUBNET_MASK),
       long2ip(END_HOST),
       long2ip(START_HOST),
       MAX_HOSTS,
       long2ip(BROADCAST_IP),
       NETWORK_CLASS,
       NETWORK_SIZE,
       HOST_SIZE
from   YC_CM_IP_SUBNETS 2. Then, in "Column Attributes" for "SUBNET_ID" a have set a "Column Link" to URL as : javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#); 3. Now, when I run my page and point my mice on any item in my "SUBNET_ID" column I can see that it is getting a "SUBNET_ID" number from my table and it shows it in the buttom of the browser as :javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(1);, or (2) or whatever "SUBNET_ID" is. So, that is good.
4. And here I am getting confused, basically I have to pass a value of javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#);, which seems to work as it gives me correct numbers from my table, to my "ViewNetworkDetails" JavaScript function, so it can paste this value into "f?p=........." iFrame URL. Below is my Jquery Modal form script and Javascript to redirect me to my popup page (the script is in HTML Header):
<script type="text/javascript">
function ViewNetworkDetails(){
var apexSession = $v('pInstance');
var apexAppId = $v('pFlowId');
var subnetIDNumber = document.getElementById(#SUBNET_ID#);
$(function(){
vRuleBox = '<div id="ViewNetworkDetailsBox" title="View Subnet Details">
<iframe src="f?p='+apexAppId+':103:'+apexSession+'::NO:103:P103_SUBNET_ID:'+subnetIDNumber+'
"width="875" height="500" title="View Subnet Details" frameborder="no"></iframe></div>'
$(document.body).append(vRuleBox);
$("#ViewNetworkDetailsBox").dialog({
                        buttons:{"Cancel":function(){$(this).dialog("close");}},
                        stack: true,
modal: true,
                        width: 950,
resizable: true,
autoResize: true,
draggable: true,
close : function(){$("#ViewNetworkDetailsBox").remove();
                        location.reload(true); }
</script> P.S. My assumption is, that there is a problem with this part of my scriptvar subnetIDNumber = document.getElementById(#SUBNET_ID#); where I cannot get my "SUBNET_ID" value from javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#); into "subnetIDNumber" variable and that is why I cannot pass it to my iFrame URL.
P.S. P.S. the child page 103 has a "Automated Row Fetch", so it is not a problem. In addition, I did a simple test, where I had a page item "P102_Value" with some value and in my script I had instead var subnetIDNumber = document.getElementById(#SUBNET_ID#); this var subnetIDNumber = $v('P102_Value'); and it worked perfectly fine....but cannot make it working against SQL Select statement :-(
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEELLLLLPPPP.
Thanks

Change your column link to send the subnet_id column's value to the function call (you mentioned it, but I m not sure if you actually did)
javascript:ViewNetworkDetails(#SUBNET_ID#);<u>You are passing the parameter value to the function, but not defined any parameters in the function definition</u>(this is possible in JS, any extra parameters is ignored)
So, modify the function to accept the subnet ID parameter(I am actually surprised how you missed this) and assign that parameter to variable.
<script type="text/javascript">
function ViewNetworkDetails(pSubnetId){
var apexSession = $v('pInstance');
var apexAppId = $v('pFlowId');
var subnetIDNumber = pSubnetId;
//rest of the code would be the same

How to - link from HTML Region to Report Column?

Dear Apex gurus,
Ok, I'll go straight to my question. I have a file upload page with Report Region (conditional) which comes up after file uploading process. Under Report I have a column to delete uploaded file (column has an image in link, target in application, item name: P2_DELETE_ID and value: #DOC_ID#). Basically the Report picks up just uploaded file ID and allows me to delete the file by having Hiden Page Item (P2_DELETE_ID) and Before Header Process:
BEGIN
DELETE FROM EBA_ASSET_ORDER_TEMP_DOCS
WHERE doc_id = :P2_DELETE_ID;
END;with condition: Value in Expression 1 is Not Null, and Expression 1 set to:
P2_DELETE_IDI have and another conditional Region (which is HTML) and it comes up after file uploading process as well. The region Source is:
<div id="FinalMessage"></div>
<br />
<div ><a href="javascript:confirmFileDelete(htmldb_delete_message,'f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.:REMOVE_ID:::P2_DELETE_ID:#DOC_ID#');"><img >src="/i/delete.gif" style="position: relative; top: 1px;"/>Remove Uploaded File</a>
</div>where id="FinalMessage" - is the Sucess/Error message from JS
and .....href="javascript:confirmFileDelete....... - is my actual question. So, I am trying to hide my Report Region and show only my HTML region where I will be able using this (.....href....) link delete file from my table. I am able to dele file using report colum link but my .....href.... link dosnt want to delete my file, doen't even want to pick up file ID. Is there a way where I can link my .....href.... link to pull from Report Column????
Thanks

I am getting crazy now:
It gives me an error message whan I am trying to add RETURN to my process, here is my process, seems to be fine and I can fined what is going on, may be I am blind:

Possible to exclude interactive report column from single row display?

hi -- I have an interactive report that I've added a column to (in addition to the table columns that are selected).
The added column is a link to a form for editing a single row. This column/link is in addition to the default link
that goes to a single row view. So, a row of the report has 1) the single row view link, 2) the Edit link,
3) the columns in the table.
The edit link column is named "Edit" (so Edit appears above the "pencil" link icon). Problem is that when the
user goes to the single row view, the Edit column is displayed. (I've set the label in the view to a blank space,
and the value is null (displayed as "-" in the single row view)... but it's generally ugly, and adds that nonsensical
line to the single row view.
Is there any way to never display that column in the single row view, but always display it in the report?
I've considered putting the edit link on the first column of the table... but I don't like that the link will move
if the user changes the column order. It seems it should always be at the left of the row, like the single row view
link.
Thanks,
Carol

Please disregard this thread. I see a flaw in the design of what I was attempting to do! Creating the link for Editing as a column means the user could inadvertently not display it, or move it, or... any number of problematic scenarios.
Thanks,

Cannot edit a field that is "Standard Report Column" when new row added

Hi everyone,
I have created a master-detail form from the wizard and within the detail report region source I have used apex_item.xxx API
example;
select C1, C2,
CASE when C2 ='N' then
apex_item.select_list_from_query(3, C3,'select a1 d, a2 r from table1', 'ENABLED', 'NO',null,null, 'f03_#ROWNUM#')
else
apex_item.select_list_from_query(3, C3,'select a1 d, a2 r from table1', 'DISABLED', 'NO',null,null, 'f03_#ROWNUM#')
END C3
from table;
All columns C1,C2,C3 are defined as "Standard Report Columns".
The results allows the column C3 field to be enabled or disabled for input depending on a condition.
The problem is when you hit the default button "Add Row" to add a new row. The row is non-editable and is populated with null values.
What I want is to allow input when a new row is inserted into the multi-row detail form.
Can any one help?
Is there a way to change the Display As field for the new row columns to "text field" from "standard report column" dynamically?

I think you will need to use the old way of adding rows instead of the new one. I remember having headaches trying to get it working.

How to accessing current row report column value in Lov Query?

Hi,
which access methods (eg. bind variables, substitutions, ...) for getting the current row report column value can be used in the "Lov Query" property of a report column?
As what I know of and what I have read on the forum there are no bind variables for the report columns. For the "Link Text" property it seems that the column values exist as substitution strings (#COLUMN_NAME#). But they don't work in the Lov Query. => And would be good because of a hard parse each time the Lov query is executed.
The following post (Re: Simulating a correlated sub query in lov
is showing a solution to use package variables for temporary storage of the referenced value, but the only problem with that solution is that if a new record is added with the "Add rows to tabular form" process the package variable still contains the value from the last queried row! Is there a way (variable, APEX package, ...) to determine if the lov query is executed for a new record so that the package can return null?
I know that I could write the package in a way that the value is immediately cleared when lov_pkg.keyval is called (one time read), but then I would have to create several variables if I'm accessing the value multiple times in the query or in another query => I think an one time read solution would be very obscurely.
Thanks for your help

http://inside-apex.blogspot.com

Hi Patrick,
I agree that it's a waste to continually use Ajax to go back to the server to get the contents of a dynamic select list.
There are no bind variables for any row item - but what you do have, as per my previous post, is the value of the data entered by the user in the first row. You can pass this into your application process (using get.add("VARIABLENAME", value)), which can use it to retrieve the correct LOV in your Ajax code - this will give you a "bind variable" that your process can use.
What you could do, however, is generate hidden select lists on your page - one for each possible LOV list and replace the contents of the new row's select list with the contents of the appropriate hidden select list. This is easy to do with javascript (using innerHTML functions). Obviously, though, the usefulness of this depends on the number and size of the select lists.
Even if you don't generate them to start with, you can keep a copy of any select lists returned by Ajax in the DOM for use on new rows. So, if you have retrieved a select list, you will have a copy of it in DOM which you can then copy into the new row. If you don't have the list in DOM, use Ajax to get it, store a copy of it and copy it into the new row.
Which method you use will depend on the number/size of select lists needed. If they are few in number and/or size, I would suggest generating hidden lists. If they are large, use Ajax to get them once, store them and then retrieve them from the DOM when needed.
There is another thread here where Arie recommends going to the server every time to make sure you get the most up-to-date data for the lists. If you want to follow this advice, for this reason, use get.add("VARIABLENAME", value) to pass the value to your process. If this is not an issue, you can use one of the other methods I outlined above.
Regards
Andy

Current value of a column.row in a Report region

Hi
I have a report that I want to display a single row per page. No problem there. I also want to show, in a separate region below the value of two specific columns for that row (they are large text items that I want to show as text areas).
My problem is how to have the source of the text area data items match the current report row above. What I want is sort of;
SELECT TEXTFIELDNAME FROM TABLE WHERE KEY = value from column1 in the report above above (like the #EMPNO# notation when linking a report column to another page)
Or maybe there is a better way ?
Any pointers much appreciated.
Jules

Hi Jules,
As always you've some options to achieve what you would like to do.
If you know AJAX, you could do it that why, if not an "easier" why of doing it:
1) Create an hidden item
2) In your report make a link to the same page, but give as parameter the hidden item with the pk as value
3) In your where clause of your select to fill in the text area, you search for the hidden item (WHERE key = :HIDDEN_ITEM)
Hope that helps,
Dimitri

Need a report column to hold data for one row only

Hey Guys,
I have a report which has a column that links to another page in my APEX application.
There is a requirement where only one of the rows in this report needs to have a link so I need the column to show the page link for one row and one row only.
The report will have about 5 rows at a time so is there a way to just make this link appear for the one row(it will be the top row) in the column attirbute in APEX? or can this be done in the SQL for the report?
Any help is much appreciated
Thanks
-Mark

Hi
The only way (I believe) to do this is within the SQL. Then you just wrap the column in a CASE statement and if it meets your criteria then build up the link and if not then display normally.
Something like this...
SELECT ename,
       CASE WHEN empno = 7839
       THEN '<a href="f?p='||:APP_ID||':4:'||:APP_SESSION||'::NO::P4_TARGET_ITEM:'||empno||'" >'||empno||'</a>'
       ELSE TO_CHAR(empno)
       END empno

FREEZE COLUMNS AND ROWS IN WEB REPORT - PLEASE ADVISE ME

Hi Experts,
I have a web template that contains a query. My customer wants to freeze columns and rows in this report like we do in Excel. I know that in BW 3.5 this is not a standard feature of Table item. In forum I have found some messages regarding with this issue. I inserted a JavaScript code that I have found in forum, but this does not help. A codewriter wrote some other JaveScript for example alert(), that works but some part of taken code from forum such as defined functions do not work.
Other solutions advised in forum such as fixing row numbers or column numbers do not fix my problem.
My questions:
1 - In new version of BW, BI 7.0 have this issue with WAD in standard been solved?
2 - Does it really possible at the same time rows and columns to freeze? I want to freeze 2 rows from top, 2 columns from left.
Could anyone have an idea?

Hello,
This will be implemented with SPS13.
https://websmp204.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700004483762006E
And before SPS13, i frame is useful to realize what you want to do. Using 2 "Analysis" web item. and display of 1st analysis web item is restricted only thin the header of the table and the 2nd Analysis web item is used as "table". display of this "analysis" is also restricted to 10 - 30 rows.
but this consume hardware resource.

           <div style="OVERFLOW: auto; WIDTH: 1000px; HEIGHT: 20px" >

Find MIN, MAX of multiple rows from multiple columns

Hello,
I need to figure out how to pull the MIN/MAX of multiple rows from multiple columns into one column. Even if some are NULL/blank.
For Example: (C: Column, R: Row, N - NULL/Blank)
C:____1____2____3____ 4____Max
R:____20___22___13____4____*22*
R:____N____N____32____14___*32*
R:____N____12____N____N____*12*
That is, it always gives a value for MIN/MAX unless there are NO values in all the rows of the columns.
So if there is one value, it will select that for the MIN/MAX, as it's the smallest/biggest since there is nothing to compare it to.
Here is my current code:
CASE WHEN COLUMN 1 < COLUMN 2 THEN COLUMN 2 ELSE COLUMN 1 END

Hi Thank you for your feedback, unfortunately, I just found out that EVALUATE Function is disabled in our environment for security reasons, so the only other way I've discovered is this:
The problem is that none of the conditions in the case statement are met--so the column is set to null. You can add a WHEN statement (section 2 below) to catch the nulls. There are five cases to consider:
Case 1: begin insp > bad order
Case 2: begin insp < bad order
Case 3: bad order only (begin insp is NULL)
Case 4: begin insp only (bad order is NULL)
Case 5: both begin insp is NULL and bad order is NULL
1) If bgn-crm-insp-ob > report-bo-ob then bgn-crm-insp-ob
(Case 1)
CASE WHEN filter ("- Terminal Task Measures"."Task Reported DateTime (Local)" using "Task Detail"."Task Code" = 'bgn-crm-insp-ob') > filter ("- Terminal Task Measures"."Task Reported DateTime (Local)" using "Task Detail"."Task Code" = 'report-bo-ob') THEN filter ("- Terminal Task Measures"."Task Reported DateTime (Local)" using "Task Detail"."Task Code" = 'bgn-crm-insp-ob')
2) If report-bo-ob is NULL then bgn-crm-insp-ob
(Case 4, 5) for case 5, you will get NULL
WHEN filter ("- Terminal Task Measures"."Task Reported DateTime (Local)" using "Task Detail"."Task Code" = 'report-bo-ob') IS NULL THEN filter ("- Terminal Task Measures"."Task Reported DateTime (Local)" using "Task Detail"."Task Code" = 'bgn-crm-insp-ob')
3) Else report-bo-ob
(Cases 2, 3)
ELSE filter ("- Terminal Task Measures"."Task Reported DateTime (Local)" using "Task Detail"."Task Code" = 'report-bo-ob') END
Hopefully this works, I'll give feedback if it does, or if you have any further suggestions please submit, again, THANK YOU SO MUCH ANYWAYS!

How to Customize the Message "No Row Returned" from a Report

Hi,
I've been trying to customize the Message "No Row Returned" from a Report.
First i followed the instructions in Note:183131.1 -
How to Customize the Message "No Row Returned" from a Report
But of course the OWA_UTIL.REDIRECT_URL in this solution did not work (in a portlet) and i found the metalink document 228620.1 which described how to fix it.
So i followed the "fix" in the document above and now my output is,..
"Portlet 38,70711 responded with content-type text/plain when the client was requesting content-type text/html"
So i search in Metalink for the above and come up with,...
Bug 3548276 PORTLET X,Y RESPONDED WITH CONTENT-TYPE TEXT/PLAIN INSTEAD OF TEXT/HTML
And i've read it and read it and read it and read it and can't make heads or tails of what it's saying.
Every "solution" seems to cause another problem that i have to fix. And all i want to do is customize the Message "No Row Returned" from a Report. Please,...does anyone know how to do this?

My guess is that it only shows the number of rows it has retrieved. I believe the defailt is for it to only retrieve 50 rows and as you page through your report it retrieves more. So this would just tell you how many rows was retireved, but probably not how many rows the report would contain if you pages to the end. Oracle doesn't really have a notion of total number of rows until the whole result set has been materialized.

end;
I tried to use the REF CURSOR
But it return the values in one time and does not allow me to conduct and control of

Why do you need to do it by a curesor loop? Can't you put the query in the datamodel of the report and simply pass the parameter to restrict the query?

Interactive Report Column Headings and Row Height

I am using the div style="width:350px;" method to control the width of columns in various interactive reports. That works fine except for the following:
1. When creating filters, the <div...> stuff shows up along with the actual column heading, thus confusing some end users
2. Even when I uncheck the "Use same text for single row view" checkbox and then provide a simple single row view label, the <div> stuff still shows up on the single row view
Does anyone have a better solution?
Also, does anyone know of a way to limit the row height within an interactive report row? I have some columns of data that contain a large amount of HTML data and I'd like to be able to limit the number of rows that show on the report.
Is Oracle planning to provide some better control over the Interactive Report columns in another version? The Interactive Report is such a huge improvement in usability in APEX - it would be great to take it to another level by providing some better control over column width and row height.

Dale,
Unfortunately we don't have much we can use to do what you would like. I would have said it's impossible until version 4 but you could actually do something similar to what Roel has done. His trick is in the edit button. He changed the edit button to use an "onload" call to a JavaScript process. You could do the same but call a process that goes across the rows and styles each column. Now because you don't have a way to identify the column (can't use the order because the end user could change it) you'll have to write the code to look at the top row first and then style the appropriate column. As far as I can tell, this would be quite difficult and inefficient. Having said that if you need it that bad and would like some help with it, put up an example application on apex.oracle.com and provide the workspace/username/password and I'll take a look.
Regards,
Dan
