Hiding a column when using Apex_item.hidden

Hi All,
I am using Apex v4.1.1.
Have a tabular form I created manually with few APEX_ITEM.HIDDEN fields. The fields are not rendering (as it hidden) however I am left with a blank columns. Could someone guide me how I can make those columns invisible (without getting rid of them as they contain values I use in my Javascript).
Many Thanks.

Concatenate the hidden items with a visible item in one column:
select
       apex_item.hidden(...)
    || apex_item.hidden(...)
    || apex_item.hidden(...)
    || col1 as col1
, col2
, col3

Exception when using apex_item.select_list_from_lov

I have a query where I want to use a select list to enable the user to change the value of an attribute. However, when i try using apex_item.select_list_from_lov or apex_item.select_list_from_query I get an exception. My report region shows ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character string buffer too small
I tried querying a smaller table, and then it works. Is there a size limit for select_list_from_query and select_list_from_lov? And if so, what is it? The list of values and the query works fine when using them in select list items (in a form). It also works fine when using apex_item.popup_from_lov.

Camilla,
Those functions return a varchar2 value so you are limited to 4000 characters for a column of that type selected in SQL. You can use the select_list_from_query_xl or select_list_from_lov_xl, which return a CLOB. In any case the size of the HTML generated for the row must be less than 32K.

Update using Apex_item.hidden help

Hi,
I want to update a table using apex hidden item as reference. But while updating, I encounter an error as invalid number. Here ID is the primary key column which is of datatype number.
Below is my report query
Select
ID,
DAYS_SPAN,
comments,
apex_item.hidden(1,ID)||APEX_ITEM.SELECT_LIST(2,Action,'A,B,C,D') "Attachment Action",
from TBL_ACTION_LIST
where ITEM_ID = :P5_ITEM_ID
I have written an after submit process as follows,
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
UPDATE TBL_ACTION_LIST
SET
Action= APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02(i)
WHERE ID = to_number(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
END LOOP;
END;

Put some debug message in ur code to see the value of APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01 each time to make sure that you are actually getting a number in that.
Another simple thing that you could do is(for debugging), assign an variable with the APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01's value inside the loop. Write an exception that raises with the original error message concatenated with the variable's value.
DECLARE
lc_debug VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN
FOR i IN 1..APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01.COUNT LOOP
    lc_debug := APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i);
    UPDATE TBL_ACTION_LIST
    SET
    Action= APEX_APPLICATION.G_F02(i)
    WHERE ID = to_number(APEX_APPLICATION.G_F01(i));
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN OTHERS THEN
RAISE(-20999, ' ID Value: '||lc_debug
                       ||CHR(10)||SQLERRM
END;If required check the F02 array value too(the DB column for ACTION is varchar2, isn't it ?).
This should show you the ID value which raises the error.

Unresolved column when using presentation variable in Answers filter

Hi all,
I'm using a dashboard prompt that sets a presentation variable - pres_year. I'm using the presentation variable in a request's filter.
In the 'Criteria' tab, in the filter for the request, I set a year column (YEAR) to the presentation variable via Variable Expr and enter the presentation variable name only. End up with:
YEAR is equal to / is in @{pres_year}
When using the dashboard, the prompt and request all work fine. The problem is when I'm in the request in Answers and I click on 'Display Results' button. I get the following error:
'NQSError: 27005 unresolved column pres_year'
Any suggestions?
Thanks.

I got same error, if i'm using SQL Expression, instead of variable expression in filter section.
make sure that you followed this:
filter on year > Add > Variable > Presentation. Then, give the presentation variable name (which you defined in dashboard prompt) in Variable Expr field , click OK
getting same error when using:
Filter on year column > Add > SQL Expression > presentation variable. This is not right place to give presentation variable.
and, error i got:
*State: HY000. Code: 10058. [NQODBC] [SQL_STATE: HY000] [nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 27005]* Unresolved column: "var_Year". (HY000)
so, make sure that you are suing the right one..

Centre align column when using rowClasses

Hi,
Whats the best wayt o centre align some columns in a dataTable when using rowClasses? The normal approach would be to set the style on the columnClass but obviously that won't work in this situation.
Any ideas?
Thanks

You could try to use CSS to specify the 3rd column, e.g.
TD + TD + TD { text-align=center; }
(don't know if this works...}

Dock hiding/magnification issue when using two mice.

Hello. I purchased and installed 10.7 Lion today on a freshly reformatted iMac (2.8 ghz, original aluminum) and I am having a very strange issue with the Dock.
My business setup requires me to use a KVM switch so that I can use my PC and my Mac at the same time. I have two separate monitors, so the display is not handled through this switch. I have one keyboard that is handled through this switch, and one mouse: the Cyborg RAT 7.
I have a second mouse, the Apple Magic Mouse, hooked up to the iMac only through Bluetooth. Because of this setup, I have both the RAT 7 and the Magic Mouse capable of controlling the cursor on OS X when the KVM switch is set to Mac.
However, when both mice are connected the dock becomes completely unusable:
Normally I have the dock Hidden and with Magnification turned on. However, the hiding doesn't work. If I move the cursor to the bottom of the screen, I have to click to get the dock to appear. This "magnifies" the icon that the cursor is over, but nothing else magnifies when I move over it and the dock does not re-hide when the cursor is moved off and will only re-hide once I've clicked elsewhere. When I right click on something in the dock, the options in the right click menu do not highlight like they are supposed to. This highlighting issue applies on the top bar's icons as well.
I have had this glitch happen occasionally on Snow Leopard, and in that case I would simply relaunch Finder and all would be well. This does not fix this issue.
What does fix this issue is removing one of the mice. If I unplug the RAT 7 from the KVM switch, the dock works perfectly using the Magic Mouse. If I turn off the Magic Mouse, the dock works perfectly using the RAT 7. I have tried connecting the RAT 7 directly through USB, bypassing the switch, and I have the same issue.
Is there perhaps an option in Lion that has multi-mouse support turned off somehow? I can move the cursor fine with both mice attached, but the dock is simply unusable with both.
Any information on this strange issue would be most appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

I have just configured a new Airport Extreme and I have just printed sucessfully to our printer. Weird its just a Graphite Airport base Station Issue. I am not sure if the problem occours with the Snow Airport Base Station....Ill have to try that one out. I am so happy that it works you wouldnt believe it.

How to sort specific column when using GROUPING SETS in SQL Server?

If I remember correctly, in SQL Server, it is not recommended to use "ORDER BY" when there's already a GROUP BY GROUPING SETS.
I have two columns: [UPC#] & [Description] both are varchar.
My grouping sets is like this:
GROUP BY
GROUPING SETS
([UPC],[Description])
I don't have 'ORDER BY' but it's automatically sorting the Description column.
If I added a 3rd column, sum(Qty), then it doesn't sort by Description anymore. But if I added
ORDER BY [Description]
then the grand total of sum(Qty) will be at the first row instead of the last.
Is there a way to sort the Description column and still let the grand total of sum(Qty) be at the last row instead?
Thanks.

Yes, it works.
Thank you.
Could you kindly explain the logic?
I don't quite understand the "= 3 THEN 1 ELSE 0" part.
Is the #3 mean the column index 3?
GROUPING_ID returns a bit mask value depending on number of columns grouped in the result
So when you do GROUPING_ID(([UPC]),([Description]))
it has two columns UPC and Description so bit mask will be as follows
0 ie 00 for rows grouped by both UPC and Description fields
1 ie 01 for rows grouped by UPC ie UPC subtotals
2 ie 10 for rows grouped by Description ie Description subtotals
3 ie 11 for rows not grouped by both columns ie Grand total

Hiding menu column when printing

Using Aqualogic Interaction 6.1
I'm trying to have a few pages with 2 columns on the screen, (navigation on left and content on right.) But when the user hits print I want the content column take up the entire page.
using css I can easily hide the menu portlets but when I print I still have blank whitespace where the menu used to be.
looking at the source of the page it seems the portal adds a spacer image 250 wide at the bottom of the column. Is there any way to remove this? If it had a class tag I could hide it just like the portlets but it doesn't.
I've added the following code to my header portlet:
{style type="text/css" media="screen"}{!--
--}{style}
{style type="text/css" media="print"}{!--
.columnOne { width: 0; }
#pt-portlet-9422 {display:none; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FFFFFF;}
#pt-portlet-9423 {display:none; BACKGROUND-COLOR: #FFFFFF;}
--}{style}but it doesn't seem to work when I print the left column is blank but it still takes up abotu a third of the page.
the spacer image I see in the source that I think is causeing the problem is:
{table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%" border="0" summary="Portlet Column Formatter Table."}{tr}{td colspan="1"}{img src="http://portal.realtorlink.ca/imageserver/plumtree/portal/public/img/sp.gif" alt="" border="0" align="absmiddle" height="1" width="250"/}{td}
{tr}
{table}
{!--End Portlet Column 0--}BTW I've replaced all < with { and all > with } in my code because image and comment tags are displayed as html and some other tags are properly converted to & l t ; and & g t ; in this newsgroup... might want to fix that too.

That worked. Got rid of my error. However, if the field is null (=''), I get a total.

If the not null (!='') I am not getting a total.

Tabular form row order out of sync when using apex_item.popup_from_query

Hi
I have a tabular form that contains a apex_item.popup_from_query column, the query itself has an order by clause and I believe this is the reason why selecting from the popup column results in the wrong row being updated.
I refer to a previous post where Scott Spendolini acknowledges the absence of any workaround for this, does anyone know of one now given that that was a few years ago?
I kind of need to find a workaround for this ASAP or else I will have to redesign the whole page and abandon the tabular form, I'd be really grateful for any help here
Thanks

I experienced the same problem before and there is definitelly a bug. However, I didn't know about this difference. This explains some doubts I had. Thanks for pointing that out. Hopefully, this is going to get better in 4.0.

By the Way i´m looking for a dbms_xplan output that uses the e-rows and a-rows cols and type=HTML. But i couldn´t find it.
Thanks

Thanks BrendanP
oops sorry, bad question, i looked for e_rows, estimated_rows and so on in every table in the database :-(

Linq selecting multiple columns when using anonymous types using Sum multiple columns

I have a list with multiple columns where I need to sum a list of columns for each row into a new column (not 100% sure if there is another way to sum other than I have done it). Problem I'm having is being able to select more than just column I'm creating
used from summing the other column and the Key. Below will produce a row with the CustomerId and the total of all the months.
CustomerId
Total
12345
2500.00
12346
3000.00
But let's say I have a row called Name in "history"--how can display it in the query results as below. I'm unable to reference anything but the key.
CustomerId
Total
Name
12345
2500.00
John Smith
12346
3000.00

var list = history
.GroupBy(g => g.CustomerId)
.Select(sg =>

Key = lg.Key,
SumTotal = sg.Sum(x => x.month_01)

Hi
ajl7519,
I have tested on my side, please check my code.
InitializeComponent();
AuctionItems = new List<AuctionItem>() {
new AuctionItem() { Category = "Car", CurrentPrice = "100", Description = "100", SpecialFeatures = "100", StartDate = 1, StartPrice = 1 },
new AuctionItem() { Category = "Car", CurrentPrice = "100", Description = "100", SpecialFeatures = "100", StartDate = 2, StartPrice = 2 },
new AuctionItem() { Category = "Car", CurrentPrice = "100", Description = "100", SpecialFeatures = "100", StartDate = 3, StartPrice = 3 }
var resu = AuctionItems.GroupBy(a => new { a.Category, a.Description }).Select(sg => new { ID = sg.Key.Category, Total = sg.Sum(oc => oc.StartPrice + oc.StartDate), Name = sg.Key.Description });
You also can change your code to
• SumTotal = sg.Sum(x => x.month_01+x.month_02+ ......)
Have a nice day !
