Headers/labels in repeating frames

Hello,
I am able to print a repeating frame accross/down, but I would like to print column headers for them, as well as a side header (used to describe the whole set of data in the accross/down frame).
In any case, I just want the column headers once at the top of each column. Plus, if no records exist, I don't want ANY of the headers, (side or top) to print.
Simplified example below.

You're really describing a matrix report with column & row labels. It's easiest just to modify the data model to convert your data into a matrix rather than trying to create a matrix using across/down repeating frames yourself.
To stop everything printing, place a frame with a format trigger against it which returns "false" if no rows are returned.

Repeating frame not appearing

Hi,
I have created a report.
I placed some labels and fields on the repeating frame. For that repeating frame i have assigned one group.
If the group (query ) results in records it is displaying fine. But when it results zero records the whole repeating frame is disappearing. Not even labels are appearing. What could be the problem.
If it results zero record it should display the lables and feilds with no data.
How can we do it?
thanks

Steve is correct on this one - that is the intended result. What you could do is this - create 2 exact layouts. Keep the first layout as it is, but for the second, just create a regular frame, and labels (no repeating frame).
Create a format trigger for the frame that references a placeholder column counting some element in your query (like # of employeees...etc). In the format trigger do this:
If :cp_count = 0 then
return (true);
else return(false);
end if;then if there was no data, your second frame would print with just the labels. Just an idea, but play around with it.

Text/Label issue - being repeated for every record inside repeating frame.

Hi
I have a small issue:
In the repeating frame, the label (text) for the column is being repeated for every record. How may I have the text (label) appear just once and not for every record?
Thx!

Move headings outside of the repeating frame.

Headers at top AND bottom of a repeating frame.

I've created a simple report through the Oracle Reports wizard. It created column headings which are on at the top of each page, and the repeating frame which spans several pages. What I am now trying to add are column "headings" which are at the bottom of each page. Similar to the Headings that are defined above the repeating frame, but under the repeating frame.
Problem is, the repeating frame spans several pages, but the "Headings" at the bottom are only showing on the last page. I do have the preferences set to All Pages. I can get all sorts of things to work and print on each page ABOVE the repeating frame, but not on each page BELOW the repeating frame.
Something simple?

Header, Main and Trailer section are something completely different. They have nothing to do with header and trialer on a page, but are completely different sections of a report (like having an introduction letter in the header section, and the report in the main section).
If you want to do what you want, do this:
- In the layout editor, expand the group frame (GF) around the repeating frame to almost the height of the page.
- Set the vertical elasticity of GF to Fixed.
- Copy the header group frame and it's text fields to a position outside GF. Rename it to Footer group frame (FGF).
- Drag FGF and it's items to a position below GF.
Hope this is clear.

Heading for repeating frame (horizontal) to appear just once - How?

Hi
I have 3 queries that represent 3 different levels. Each level is displayed one above the other. Example
Level 3: <field3 from query3>
Level 2: <field2 from query2>
Level 1: <field1 from query1>
In the output The level labes are displayed as many times as the values in the fields. Example Level 2 is displayed twice if query 2 returns 2 rows.
Level 2: <row1 from query2>Level 2: <row2 from query2>
This is because I have field and label for Level within a repeating frame. Is there a way that I can suppress Levels being dispalyed multiple times and display just once in the beginning?
I cant put the Labels outside of the repeating frame because the levels may vary (there may be 1 level or two or all 3 levels depending on input).

Are these 3 queries independent of each other or linked with Data Link?
If these are linked with each other, then try the following:
Try using summary column (count) for each query and put a format trigger on the labels. If count is <> 1, hide the label.
Hope this helps.

Frame overlaps repeating frame when I run the report

Hi
I created a report manually. On my designer, I have a frame, on top of which I have a repeting frame with all the fields and labels etc. However when I try to run the report, I get the frame on the top as a result the information on the repeating frame is hidden and report comes out to be blank. What am I doing wrong here?
Any help?
Thx!

If you have frames positioning like this, the bottom frame could take place of the top one:
    |             |
    |             |
|             |
|             |
--------------<br>
<p>
Solution is, move both to the left. If its not feasible, other solution is create another outer frame for the first one and maximize that to the left and don't show borders for that frame.

Hope this helps.

How to get the values from repeated frame?.

Hi
how to get the values from repeated frame?. i have to disply the first 3 digits in another place in my report.
i have field empno in repeated frame and i want to disply first 3 digits in another place in the same report.
thanks

How often do you need to display it? It sounds like you might want to base a summary on that formula with a function of first or last. If it's a per page basis, it can be a page level summary. If it's at a higher level repeating frame, then you can create the summary at that level. I'd suggest taking a look at the online help for summaries using the first/last functions.
Hope that helps,
Toby

How to fix objects below repeating frame?

hello all! I wonder how to fix the last elements such as signature area of a sale order report to the bottom of the last page?
i find the area always appear closely after the detail lines...i don't want this
Thanks for any help!

hi philipp!Thanks for your reply.
I am meaning that a have some text objects lower than a repeating frame which height is variable and i want to have the distance between the text objects and the bottom of the page to be fixed,instead of varying according to the height of the repeating frame.The text objects and the repeating frame are in a same container frame so i can't set the vertical elasticity of the frame to fixed.
Any idea?

How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of a 9i Report

How can I add a field to a Repeating Frame in the body of an Oracle 9i Report whose source is in a higher group?
I want to change an Oracle 9i report. The report has no header or trailer but only a body. The body has the parent frame fields & a repeating frame with four fields, A, B, C & D. They all seem to be in one group. I want to add another field E to the repeating frame whose source is from the 'header'.
I added the field & created a boiler plate & then added the new field, E to the original group A, B, C & D. In the Property Inspector for the field, I pointed the source to the source column in the main query. However, when I run the report, I receive the error "Invalid body size". Some notes on Metalink indicate that this could be due to margins being out of the printable area.
Moreover, after making the changes & after having unsuccessfully run the report, when I try to open the Page Layout for the report, I get no details.
Thanks,

Is it possible to show the same repeating frame in 2 columns?

Hello, and thank you all in advance for any help!
Here is the situation:
I have simple report with 1 repeating frame and 3 data columns in it.
I want to be able to have a second column on each page that continues the data from the repeating frame. That is to say, one the left the data would go from top to bottom like normal, then instead of going to page 2, it would go into a column to the right on the same page.
The repeating frame is small enough to fit at least 2 of them horizontally.
I cannot seem to find the way to make this layout work. Is it possible?
Thanks again,
-Arin

Nevermind everyone!
I got it to work with Print Down/Across...silly me.
Thanks anyway!
