Hash Marks Displayed In Date columns

Hi Experts
I have two date columns in my report.
But when i export this to excel spreadsheet i am getting
Hash Marks Displayed Instead of Dates on few of cells ....
I am really frustrated and tried everything by formatting date using to_char ,to_date in universe and also tried formatting
date in Infoview side.
But whenever i export this , I get ######## instead of dates .
Can anyone please advise ?

Hi Savrav,
1. Fields in excel give ####### values when the column width is not sufficient to show the complete length of values in the cells.
I hope you've tried expanding the column width in excel.
2. Also, what is the source file? Is it a DB table or a BEx query on which you have built the Universe?
Worth checking the format of the date field in the source file.

Multiple Data Columns in one report column

How do I list multiple columns returned from a select vertically within one report column. For instance, I have three statuses for a project that I want to list, I'd like to list the three statuses within one status column. I remember seeing this somewhere but cannot find it now. Example:
Status Column
Budget: Green
Schedule: Red
Issues: Yellow

additionally you could use HTML expressions. When editing your report, click on the column you want to use for displaying multiple data columns. This will take you to the report columns attributes page, there you can type in something like the following into the HTML expression field, referencing other report columns using #COLUMN_NAME# substitutions:
#BUDGET#
#SCHEDULE#
#ISSUES#
this is assuming your column aliases are named BUDGET, SCHEDULE and ISSUES. You can then just hide the columns that you don't want to see because the data is already shown using the HTML expression.

SQL Calendar using multiple date columns

Is there any way to have a Calendar look at more than one date column? I know that it is possible to have the calendar based on a range/interval, but I need to display multiple date columns e.g. Marketing Start Date and Sales Start Date. In the Calendar component it seems possible to only choose one 'Date Column'. Has anyone come across this or know of any workaround?

Strange behaviour in alv output display for a date column!

hi friends,
my alv output list display contains a column for budat (posting date), if this field has no value, then it displays a blank cell (space) in the output in my user login...but when the same report is run in another user login, even though the value of the column is null, it displays 00000000 (8 zeroes) rather than displaying a blank cell...i have set the field catalog property NO_ZERO = 'X'; is this property has anything to do with authorization to achieve its funcionality? am not sure...this is strange, as it is the same report, same field catalog that is being used..need some inputs on this
thanks in advance
Sathish

There are 2 solutions for an adhoc solution you can change the field to a char10 field, this will solve your immediate problem of the 0 display. For a permanent solution you can check the user profile setting for the date for you as well as the concerned user.
Hope That Helps

How can I display the data in table in separate column?

I have a vi reading data one by one in the same column.
How can I display the data with separate column?
like this:
data 1 | read | read
data 2 | read | read
data 3 | read | read
(would you mind if I will ask for an example
because it is much easier for me to work
with an example)
THANK YOU.

If you're reading your data in as a 1D array, this is as simple as using the Reshape Array to make a 2D array. I've attached an example in LabVIEW 6.1 format. The example rearranges a single column of data fill several columns horizontally, but you can easily modify this code to fill the columns downward instead.

Help needed to mark or highlight certain columns in Data Modeler

Hi there,
We use the data modeler to present our data model to the security department to explain/prove for which columns we ran a data masking/anonymization function. I am looking for any kind of way to either highlight or change a set of columns across all tables. So far I could only identify the red dot for “not null” and the option to introduce a ADT/UDT like “ANONYMIZED” to show in the graphical representation what we have done. As we base our DM on empty tables for decent overviews including the PK/FK relationships we are quite flexible. Still the “misusage” of ”Not Null” or ADT/UDT columns does not go together with the required PK/FK’s. Does anyone know a way to mark or highlight certain columns automatically when importing a data dictionary? (Unfortunately RDBMS comments do not get included in any overview). Thanks a lot. Cheers Stefan

Hi Philip, Thanks a lot for puting this enhancement request through.
Just downloaded the latest Patch upgrading to v 3.1.2-704 and confirmed that this functionality is not available yet.
Keeping your experience in mind what kind of expectation to you have for the approval and realization of your request?
Most likely this will take a couple of month – right? Or is there a beta version of 3.2 already available we could use.
Thanks a lot. Cheers Stefan

PO Line column displaying same data

Hello,
I have created a custom .rtf for the Standard PO.
When previewing the pdf in iSupplier one of the columns (attribute1 from PO_LINES) is displays the same data when a PO has multiple lines. I currently have the following in the BI Properties for the Data Field
PO_DATA\PO_LINES\ATTRIBUTE1.
(We were experiencing another issue with no data displaying at all prior to putting this file path in)
ATTRIBUTE1 (aka Column dispaly name- DOD Rating) either displays DOA4 data or DOX9 data. If this Puchase Order has multiple lines and all lines contain DOD rating information when previewing the PDF all the lines will display the data from Line 1.
Example:
Have an approved Purchase Order with two Lines. In Isupplier the PO displays two lines with different data for DoD Rating:
Line 1 - DOA4
Line 2 - DOX9
When previewing PDF both lines in pdf show DOA4 for theDOD rating column.
Has anyone come across this or know of any way to resolve this?
Any information is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Jessica

I have seen details in BBP_PD :-
For first PO its displaying workflow status complete & Document Completed. Its fine.
For the successive PO's - Status is Transfer Failed (E.Sys). But workflow status is complete.
I have checked the external number range at SRM and ECC side too.
At SRM side ,Number range set up for PO
From Number 7000000000 To Number 7999999999 Current Number 7000063059
At ECC ,Number range set uo for PO
No - 70, From Number 7000000000 To NUmber 7099999999 Current Number 'Blank'
External munber range is set at ECC for SRM PO.
There is no overlaps for the different document type PO range .
Kindly Advice.

2.1 EA2: Date columns displayed wrong in Grid

Hello Forum,
I have an issue displaying the values of DATE columns. I have set NLS_DATE_FORMAT to "DD.MM.YYYY HH24:MI:SS" but every time information is displayed as 00:00:00 but only in the grid view.
When I do a select sysdate from dual; and press F9 it gives 09.11.2009 00:00:00
When I press F5 it gives 09.11.2009 18:55:45
I observed this using SQLDeveloper 2.1 EA2 with the supplied JRE on WinXP and Win7 64Bit.
I connect to Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Win2k and to Oracle XE on OpenSuse.

How to display oracle BOLB column data forms

Hello Francois ,
I also want to display a BLOB column value on Oracle front-end (but this is oracle form 6i version)
I tried your below method but i was not able to make it work....
it displays the other details wen quired but not the blob data column
please help --- urget solution required
<<<<<<<
Create a block based on the table you have the BLOB image, then use an Image Item based on that BLOB column. All you have to do, then is an execute_query() instruction to populate the Image Item.
Francois

I'm not convince that the null pointer exception is coming from the database. Rather, whatever you wrote to package the result might be at fault. Regardless, typically, to avoid the web container swallowing an exception is to catch it yourself. Your database call will need to catch the exception and repackage it for the JSP. A bad style would be to use scriptlet and catch the exception, but it could be useful for debugging.

To restrict the number of data columns displayed in BW Web report

Hi,
In the corresponding Bex query i am using 'Start Time' characteristic in the row. In the BW Web template i don't want the 'Start Time' to be displayed when i execute.
I tried to restrict the number of data columns displayed in the web item table properties but that did not help
Can i get some help
Thanks,
Mala

Hi Mala,
You can try out the following: Create a view on your query and in that view remove the Start Time char from the drilldown. Use this view as a data provider in the web template.
Hope this helps...

Hash is printed in date field in excel output.

Hello,
I am developing a report in abap. Report output is exported to excel by using OLE code technique.
The one date field 'posting date ' is in the system has value i.e 27.12.2009 and i want it to be as 27/12/2009.
i have concatenated the internal table date field into another field ' text ' of type c seperated by '/'.
as follows :
concatenate itab-budat6(2) itab-budat4(2) itab-budat(4) into itab-text separated by '/'.
all dates values are coming right,
except dates which starts with 01.12.2009 to 09/12/2009 are showing hash(###) character and when excel column is extended then it shows
date but in the format 12/01/2009.
how to solve this.

that is because 1 tab = 8 char..
add a single quote ' to the beginning... it will be displayed as u wish....

Binded Datagrid displays System.Data.Datarow as data

Using VS2010 C#
Hi All,
I am having a really annoying issue which I know there's an easy fix for, but i cannot figure it out for the life of me. My goal is to copy info from an excel sheet to the datagrid. To achieve this, I am taking the clipboard and creating a datatable, and
from the datatable --> datagrid. I have finally got the datagrid to display the correct column names and number of rows, but the records are showing "System.Data.Row" instead of the row's ItemArray. I've debugged the datatable and the correct
info is right there in the ItemArray properties. Can someone please help me resolve this issue?
Thanks in Advance!!!
Here's my code:
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
string s = System.Windows.Clipboard.GetText();
string[] lines = s.Split('\n');
string[] columnsNames = lines[0].Split('\t');
lines = lines.Where(w => w != lines[0]).ToArray();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
DataRow dr;
List<DataRow> list = new List<DataRow>();
foreach (string str in columnsNames)
dt.Columns.Add(str, typeof(string));
DataGridTextColumn dgtxcol = new DataGridTextColumn();
dgtxcol.Header = str;
dataGrid1.Columns.Add(dgtxcol);
dgtxcol.Binding = new Binding(".");
for (int row = 0; row < lines.Length; row++)
string[] rowInfo = lines[row].Split('\t');
dr = dt.NewRow();
for (int z = 0; z < rowInfo.Length; z++)
if (rowInfo[z].Contains('\r'))
rowInfo[z] = rowInfo[z].Replace('\r', ' ');
dr[columnsNames[z]] = rowInfo[z];
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
list = dt.AsEnumerable().ToList();
dataGrid1.ItemsSource = list;
string name = ((DataRow)dataGrid1.Items[0]).ToString();
private void dataGrid1_LoadingRow(object sender, DataGridRowEventArgs e)
e.Row.Header = (e.Row.GetIndex()+1).ToString();
<Window x:Class="ClipboardToWPF.MainWindow"
xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
Title="MainWindow" Height="500" Width="846" WindowStartupLocation="CenterScreen" Loaded="Window_Loaded">
<Grid>
<DataGrid ItemsSource="{Binding}" AutoGenerateColumns="False" Height="346" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="12,103,0,0" Name="dataGrid1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="800" LoadingRow="dataGrid1_LoadingRow" CanUserAddRows="True">
</DataGrid>
<Button Content="PASTE" Height="39" HorizontalAlignment="Left" Margin="691,33,0,0" Name="button1" VerticalAlignment="Top" Width="96" Click="button1_Click" />

</Window>

Since the DataContext of a DataGridRow is an item in the DataGrid's IEnumerable<T> ItemsSource, you must specify the column name or property name of T to bind to for each column. "." just binds to the DataRow itself.
You must also remove the \r also from the column name. You can then set the ItemsSource property of the DataGrid to the DefaultView of the DataTable itself.
The following modified code seems to work fine for this sample data:
col1 col2
val1 val2
private void button1_Click(object sender, RoutedEventArgs e)
string s = System.Windows.Clipboard.GetText();
string[] lines = s.Split('\n');
string[] columnsNames = lines[0].Split('\t');
lines = lines.Where(w => w != lines[0]).ToArray();
DataTable dt = new DataTable();
List<DataRow> list = new List<DataRow>();
foreach (string str in columnsNames)
string name = str.Replace("\r", "");
dt.Columns.Add(name, typeof(string));
DataGridTextColumn dgtxcol = new DataGridTextColumn();
dgtxcol.Header = name;
dataGrid1.Columns.Add(dgtxcol);
dgtxcol.Binding = new Binding(name);
for (int row = 0; row < lines.Length; row++)
string[] rowInfo = lines[row].Split('\t');
DataRow dr = dt.NewRow();
for (int z = 0; z < rowInfo.Length; z++)
if (rowInfo[z].Contains('\r'))
rowInfo[z] = rowInfo[z].Replace('\r', ' ');
dr[z] = rowInfo[z];
dt.Rows.Add(dr);
dataGrid1.ItemsSource = dt.DefaultView;
string firstname = dt.Rows[0][0].ToString();
Hope that helps.

DataGrid does not display XML data

Hello, and thanks for reading this...
I am having a problem displaying XMLList data in a DataGrid.
The data is coming from a Tree control, which is receiving it
from a database using HTTPService.
The data is a list of "Job Orders" from a MySQL database,
being formatted as XML by a PHP page.
If it would be helpful to see the actual XML, a sample is
here:
http://www.anaheimwib.com/_login/get_all_orders_test2.php
All is going well until I get to the DataGrid, which doesn't
display the data, although I know it is there as I can see it in
debug mode. I've checked the dataField property of the appropriate
DataGrid column, and it appears correct.
Following is a summary of the relevant code.
...An HTTPService named "get_all_job_orders" retrieves
records from a MySQL database via PHP...
...Results are formatted as E4X:
HTTPService resultFormat="e4x"
...An XMLListCollection's source property is set to the
returned E4X XML results:
...The "order" node is what is being used as the top-level of
the XML data.
<mx:XMLListCollection id="jobOrdersReviewXMLList"
source="{get_all_job_orders.lastResult.order}"/>
...The "jobOrdersReviewXMLList" collection is assigned to be
the dataProvider property of a Tree list, using the @name syntax to
display the nodes correctly, and a change event function is defined
to add the records to a DataGrid on a separate Component for
viewing the XML records:
<mx:Tree dataProvider="{jobOrdersReviewXMLList}"
labelField="@name"
change="jobPosForm.addTreePositionsToDG(event)"/>
...Here is the relevant "jobPosForm" code (the Job Positions
Form, a separate Component based on a Form) :
...A variable is declared:
[Bindable]
public var positionsArray:XMLList;
...The variable is initialized on CreationComplete event of
the Form:
positionsArray = new XMLList;
...The Tree's change event function is defined within the
"jobPosForm" Component.
...Clicking on a Tree node fires the Change event.
...This passes an event object to the function.
...This event object contains the XML from the selected Tree
node.
...The Tree node's XML data is passed into the positionsArray
XMLList.
...This array is the dataProvider for the DataGrid, as you
will see in the following block.
public function addTreePositionsToDG(event:Event):void{
this.positionsArray = selectedNode.positions.position;
...A datagrid has its dataProvider is bound to
positionsArray.
...(I will only show one column defined here for brevity.)
...This column has its dataField property set to "POS_TITLE",
a field in the returned XML record:
<mx:DataGrid width="100%" variableRowHeight="true"
height="75%" id="dgPositions"
dataProvider="{positionsArray}" editable="false">
<mx:columns>
<mx:DataGridColumn width="25" headerText="Position Title"
dataField="POS_TITLE"/>
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>
In debug mode, I can examine the datagrid's dataProvider
property, and see that the correct XML data from the Tree control
is present. However, The datagrid does not display the data in any
of its 6 columns.
Does anyone have any advice?
Thanks for your time.

Hello again,
I came up with a method of populating the DataGrid from the
selected Item of a Tree Control which displays complex XML data and
XML attributes. After the user clicks on a Tree branch, I call this
function:
public function addTreePositionsToDG(event:Event):void{
//Retrieve all "position" nodes from tree.
//Loop thru each Position.
//Add Position data to the positionsArray Array Collection.
//The DataGrid dataprovider is bound to this array, and will
be updated.
positionsArray = new ArrayCollection();
var selectedNode:Object=event.target.selectedItem;//Contains
entire branch.
for each (var position:XML in
selectedNode.positions.position){
var posArray:Array = new Array();
posArray.PK_POSITIONID = position.@PK_POSITIONID;
posArray.FK_ORDERID = position.@FK_ORDERID;
posArray.POS_TITLE = position.@POS_TITLE;
posArray.NUM_YOUTH = position.@NUM_YOUTH;
posArray.AGE_1617 = position.@AGE_1617;
posArray.AGE_1821 = position.@AGE_1821;
posArray.HOURS_WK = position.@HOURS_WK;
posArray.WAGE_RANGE_FROM = position.@WAGE_RANGE_FROM;
posArray.WAGE_RANGE_TO = position.@WAGE_RANGE_TO;
posArray.JOB_DESCR = position.@JOB_DESCR;
posArray.DES_SKILLS = position.@DES_SKILLS;
positionsArray.addItem(posArray);
So, I just had to manually go through the selected Tree node,
copy each XML attribute into a simple Array, then ADD this Array to
an ArrayCollection being used as the DataProvider for the DataGrid.
It's not elegant, but it works and I don't have to use a Label
Function, which was getting way too complicated. I still think that
Flex should have an easier way of doing this. There probably is an
easier way, but the Flex documentation doesn't provide an easy path
to it.
I want to thank you, Tracy, for the all the help. I checked
out the examples you have at www.cflex.net and they are very
helpful. I bookmarked the site and will be using it as a resource
from now on.
