How to add a column in a report?

Question

Hi,
I have 2 columns from my tables, now i want to add a column in the middle, is there any way i can type this column for each row? or do a conditional format for this new column. see below:
case description # of items
01 desc_1 5
02 desc_2 10
03 desc_3 25
the "description" column is the one i want to add, that is not from any table, is there any way i can add this column, and do
if case='01', display "desc_1"
if case='02', display "desc_2"
if case='03', display "desc_3"
thanx.

If this is what you are trying to achieve...
for example:
select col_1, 'dec_'||rownum txtfield, col_2
from (
      select '01' col_1, '10' col_2 from dual union all
      select '02' col_1, '15' col_2 from dual union all
      select '03' col_1, '20' col_2 from dual union all
      select '04' col_1, '25' col_2 from dual union all
      select '05' col_1, '30' col_2 from dual union all
      select '06' col_1, '35' col_2 from dual union all
      select '07' col_1, '40' col_2 from dual union all
      select '08' col_1, '45' col_2 from dual
     ) test
result:
COL_1 TXTFIELD   COL_2
01    dec_1      10
02    dec_2      15
03    dec_3      20
04    dec_4      25
05    dec_5      30
06    dec_6      35
07    dec_7      40
08    dec_8      45Add the txtfield column in your select statement as follows:
select <columnName1>, 
       <columnName2>,
       'dec_'||rownum txtfield
from   <tablename>Then in your report layout, add a new field column between the two existing field colunms and have the source in the property palette = txtfield.
Hope this helps.
