Hiding a column in report

HI Apex Community
I want to hide a column in a report based on an item(#item#) of the same report .
for ex , if invoice is zero then hide DUE row of that particular client
I tried with condition value is null equal to #invoice# but it hide the whole column instead of individual column.
Pls suggest me how to implement this .
apex 4.1.1 oracle 11gR2 , oc4j , linux.
thank you

I've tried this sort of thing before - so you want to add a link if data is present?
yes when data is present then only show the link else hide link/image
Under region attributes, make sure you clear "show null as", and define your link target as normal.
Yes it is blank.
Alternatively, you can construct the entire link within your SQL, using the NVL2
Tried with NVL2 , decode case
it works until ,i assign an image to it .
i dont know where im doing wrong , since i used the same code as i did in apex 4.2 at apex.oracle.com

Hiding Null columns in report

Is it possible to hide a column is the entire column is null, but to show it where there's value in it? I was wondering if this can be done automatically in report, thanks!

How would one go about conditionally showing a column in the rows section of a pivot table if all values or null?

Hiding empty columns in report builder

Hi,
This is my first adventure with report builder and I have
managed to produce some custom labels which work almost perfectly.
I say almost because there is one thing I can't seem to do.
I have a label for addresses. The address data consists of
data from a query including, name,
address1,address2,address3,town,county,postcode.
Some of these are quite often empty but the label still
displays a line break and the ',' at the end so I might end up
with:
Dave Phipps
27 Acacia Road,
MyTown,
MT1 4JP
In the above address the fields address2, address3 and county
are empty.
How do I set this up in Report Builder to hide the missing
lines so that I would end up with:
Dave Phipps
27 Acacia Road,
MyTown,
MT1 4JP
Any ideas?
Cheers,
Dave

Changing the Column Header and Hiding the Column dynamically???

Hi friends..
I'm new to OBIEE field. I'm working in a OBIEE project that requires to dynamically change the column header, and dynamically hide the column depending on the prompt value.
I know we can dynamically change the table header using the presentation variable but I couldn't do that same thing with column header.
I searched some forums that suggest to use java script for this purpose but I'm not able to do the same also. If anyone had same issue before please help.

toony, I'm not sure it's possible to do all that you want exactly the way you want, but here are some ideas you can pursue.
To dynamically change column headers without javascript, check this blog out...
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2008/01/25/oracle-bi-ee-101332-dynamic-column-headers-using-presentation-variables-sets-and-conditional-formatting/
As far as dynamically hiding a column, I don't think you can do this, but since you don't provide any details on how the PV is supposed to hide a column based on the value, are you talking about hiding a column for one PV value and another (different) column for a different PV value? Or are you talking about hiding one column when a PV has certain values and displaying it when the PV has a different set of values?
I have managed to create both scenarios via a work-around, but the procedures require some writing so I don't want to put both. Please detail how you want your PV to "hide" a column or columns.
P.S. I don't think column selectors will do the trick for you. Basically column selectors work like this: Say you have a report using Sales Region ID, Region Name, and Sales. Now let's say you want the user to choose if he/she wants to see annual sales, or quarter sales or weekly sales, etc. The column selector view would allow you to put the various columns (Year Sales, Quarter Sales, Weekly Sales) as an option the user can select. Once selected, the sales figure will change for the time period selected. For an example of how this is done, check out the section in this "Oracle by Example" link.
Waited too long to publish this... Madan beat me to it, so there is some overlap here...

Can we add a new column in report which is not in table.

Hi All,
Can we create a new column in report which is not in table.
I have two columns in my table completion_date, manufacture_date. If the difference between the completion_date and manufacture_date is 0, -1, 1 then the new column of the report will say on time against each record or else will display late. Any suggestion how to proceed on this
Regards
Edited by: User_Apex on May 16, 2011 5:54 AM

Standard report then, NOT an interactive report (which if you were using, you could build a computation and report on that)..
Then the adding a column in the query would be your best best...

HI Pradeep,
Goto the transaction code (Change Report) GR32.
Give you library name and report name
And click on the column (application tool bar or F7) button then place the curser on the screen where you want column (please note you have to keep curser on the header section u2013Red column text) right click and insert element. Then you select formula as selection element and enter. You will get the enter formula box. Then you can type your formula and continue. This will add new column to the report.
How to enter formula: you can see the formula components in that id and description.
Id is columns that are present and description indicates explanation of that column.
Enter formula according your requirement.
Examples:
Enter formula screen:
ID : des
X001 amount
X002 pt000
X003 test
1. Enter formula as: ( X001 u2013 X002)
The above formula is for fist column u2013 second column.
2. ( ( X001 u2013 X002) / X003) * 100
First column u2013 second column and devide by third column after that multiple with 100.
Hope this will help you

Additional Lead Column in Report painter

Hi Gurus
Please guide me how to add an additional Lead column in Report painter
Thanks
Hiren

Hi HIren,
There can be only one lead column in report painter.
However within the one lead column you can identify more than one characteristic - e.g. cost center and cost element. You can then identify that both characteristics should be exploded.
If you go Edit > Rows > Explode, you have the opportunity of identifying which characteristic takes presidence over the other, and how they expand. So in this example, Cost center will be 1 and cost element will be 2.
The output will be dependant upon your report layout, but you should have the layout so that you have:
Cost Center A:
- Cost Element A
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
Cost Center B:
- Cost Element A:
- Cost Element B:
- Cost Element C:
And to distinguish the cost centers from the cost elements, you can format the cost center row "Color for Totals"

I want to hide a column in report 6i

hi
I want to hide a column in report 6i,
I used this code
function F_col_qty3FormatTrigger return boolean is
begin
if :color3 is null then
return (false);
else
return (TRUE);
end if;
end;
plz note that COL_QTY3 and COLOR3 both are from different table
and resulting gave this error
REP-1314 Format trigger 'F_col_qty3' reference column 'color3' at wrong frequency.

You can format fields from a lower level group using fields from an upper level field, but not vice versa. This is because for the same upper level field there may exist several values of the lower level field. If this can not happen in your situation, there is no reason to place the fields in different groups.

Hiding the column data. What is the point of DBMS_CRYPTO package?

DB version:10g R2
A requirement has come where we need to hide some columns' data from end users.
Trasparent Data Encryption feature wouldn't do the trick as it encrypts the data only at the storage level not at user level.
I've seen PL/SQL codes using DBMS_CRYPTO which encrypts and decrypts input strings like the code mentioned in
Re: Need some hints on using dbms_crypto
What is point of these PL/SQL codes?
They can only be used to create functions which will be called in VIEWS. That is the only use of DBMS_CRYPTO package. Right?
Do you guys have any suggestion in hiding/obfuscating column data? Is creating a view my only option?

One solution to "hide" data (columns or rows) from end users is simply to create a view.
The end user will be granted only access to the view and not to the base tables behind the view. The view will only expose those cloumns and rows that the end users is supposed to see.
Of cause this has nothing to do with encryption. But I don't see anything in your business requirements that needs to use encryption methods.

How do I set individual properties for a column in report layout at runtime

How do I set individual properties for a column in report layout at runtime? I need to change this based on a user's input. This is for v10g.
I need to change either the "Read from File" attribute or the "File Format" attribute for one column based on the user's input. IS this possible?
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
define 2 columns and use format triggers to show the one or the other column.
