How to fix BW Query column width globally before query execution?

Dear Experts,
Regarding the BW Query run in Business Explorer, the width of the first column A of the result displayed in Excel is usually based on the width of the query title.
I know that we can adjust the column width in Excel: right click on the column and change the properties as "Do not adjust column width" on refresh. But how can I change and fix this width globally (regardless of the actual length of the cells) inside the analyzer during query design, and before the result coming out in Excel? I want the change is on the "Change query (global definition)", and not inside the Excel.
Thanks & regards,
James

Hi,
The column width is determined by the Analyser at the runtime  and is taken by the settings done at Infoobject level in "Business Explorer tab". Like short text will have X width column.
If you need to have fixed column with different from what is proposed by the system u need to save ur query as Woorkbook.
or if u are displaying them in WEB ANALYSER then u can have report designer to control the formatting.

  • How to fix Classic table column width / length fix ?

    Hi,
    I have a page for display purpose. In this page I am showing record.
    My requirement is to make Description column width fix. If data of description is huge then height will increase but not the length / width.
    Currently width property is 100%.
    Table is attached to VO.
    How to it ?
    Regards,
    Ajay

    Ajay ,
    I was looking into the two screen shots , i also had a close look at “Device Description” and “UDID " columns .
    I have also tried in my Jdeveloper it was not working . But it works fine if you change item style from styled text to
    message text input . I want you to try one more thing , since it work fine for message text input , change item style
    to message text input and set Read Only property to ' TRUE' and check .
    Keep size as same as you did before :
    Height :- 2
    Width :- 30

  • How can I fix the 1st column width (member) in Planning data forms

    Hi all,
    does anybody know a trick, how I can fix the first column width in planning data forms? I need a composite data form (Planning 9.3.1) and the problem is, that in the first form the member names are longer. So Planning sizes the column as it is needed to display the full member name. The member names of the second data form are shorter, so the data entry cells are not exactly among each other for both data forms and that looks terrible....
    Thanks and kind regards

    There are 3 ways of setting the width in webforms:-
    1. There is a global setting for input box length which has a syntax of FormInputBoxLength=30.
    2. When you specify the format for each of the dimensions you can choose to select the width of either a column heading or a row heading. In the following example, each time you specified the dimension ‘Account’ a format would be applied to its header. The syntax for this would be something like… HeaderOptionAccount=Length:50,Style:font-size: 12pt;font-family: calibri
    3. Each column can have its own width specified. The syntax for this can be setting in each of the column’s code. For example C6=Blank,Style:Background-color:rgb(203,218,231);width:3 would just show a thick vertical line as the width is so small.
    You can not set widths in data grids through the normal settings. You can manually change the widths and save the grid though. This can be done in the xml directly. For example… <HDRWIDTH idx=”0″ width=”50″/>.
    Then load the amended xml file back into the system.

  • Scanning in both HP Officejet 7210 and Samsung printer - the document scans but no file is generated - any ideas how to fix this?  (It worked fine before installing Mavericks)

    Scanning in both HP Officejet 7210 and Samsung printer - the document scans but no file is generated - any ideas how to fix this?  (It worked fine before installing Mavericks)

    PS: forgot to mention: if your printer is on your wifi network, you'll have to enter your wifi password on the printer to connect it to the network before Printers & Scanners will see it.
    Sometimes a reset of the wifi system is needed too. A full set of directions would be:
    Try:
    uninstall all printer manufacturer apps and "utilities"
    go to System Preferences > Printers & Scanners > Print
    control-click on your printer in the column on the left
    select "Reset Printing System..." and "reset" in the dialog that follows
    do a factory reset on your printer. You'll have to consult the printer manual for how.
    power down everything: modem, router, computer, and printer
    power up each item in turn in the same order: modem, router, computer, and printer. Let each power up completely before moving on to the next
    enter your wifi password in your printer so it can connect to the network
    go back to printers & scanners and it should see your printer and download a driver for it from Apple
    resist the temptation to install any printer manufacturer apps in the future.

  • How do you change the column widths in a master-detail input form?

    I have changed several columns to af:inputText so that the field contents can be modified, but this defaults the column width to a huge size, way past the size of the actual data field itself. Modifying the width attribute is ignored and dragging the column dividers is also ignored.
    How do I reduce the widths of these columns?

  • How to use a Formula Column in the main query?

    Hi All,
    I've tried to use a formula columns defined in some query in the condition of that query like this:
    where (:cf_ex - :cf_ex2) >= 5
    but when I run the report no data returned! Why? and how to use it the condition of the query?
    Note: I'm using Forms 6i

    where (:cf_ex - :cf_ex2) >= 5You cannot do that. Formula columns are not part of the select statement (which runs in the database), but are processed in the report.
    When you created this query, my guess is that you got the message "Note: the query Q1 has created the bind parameter(s) cf_ex, cf_ex2". Check these User Parameters in your data model. So, you are actually referencing user parameters in the query, not formula columns.
    I made a computations and things using PL/SQL that can't be done in the select statement in the data model!If it's pl/sql you can probably use that in your query. Create some database functions for cf_ex and cf_ex2 and use these in your query.

  • How can I reduce the column width in a spreadsheet according to the text?

    Hi,
    I added a spreadsheet to a pages document and now I want to reduce the column width so that it fits the content (text).
    I tried it the other way around: I added very small columns and then chose the adjust-automatically-option in informations. This worked, the columns became broader and matched the text.
    Now I got a lot of spreadsheets which columns are too broad. When choosing adjust-automatically just nothing happens. What can I do?
    Sorry if this sounds a little weird, I'm using English seldom at time and don't know which words to choose to describe my problem properly. Hope someone can help me nevertheless?
    Sarah

    Hi Sarah,
    In Pages, the table Autosize feature pertains to Row Height, not Column Width. Numbers has more Table sizing options than Pages does, so you might want to consider looking into doing your work in Numbers.
    In Pages, there are slight differences in how tables behave depending on whether they are Inline or Floating. You might want to experiment with that. Long tables, however, must be Inline.

  • How to fix Flash Player buffering entire video before playing?

    I am using the most up to date version of flash (16.0.0.305), windows 7, and the problem persists across all browser (IE, firefox, chrome). Today all flash videos are buffering the entire video before playing and i can't seem to figure out how to fix it. I've gone through the entire troubleshooting from Video playback issues (i.e. clearing caches, re installing chrome, re-installing flash, etc.) and nothing seems to change it. Youtube and other premium streaming services (ex. netflix) work fine which suggests the streaming problem is specific to flash. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I tried uninstall and re install both Flash Player and Chrome it self but nothing changed.
    I also noticed that when i try to download something on chrome (this is the browser i use for everything), for example a movie trailer from Apple's trailer site (for example this movie trailer iTunes Movie Trailers) i right click and press Save As, it does nothing after that and after let's say some seconds the window pops up asking me where to save it, and i save it. That means that when i press "Save As" it does starts downloading in the background (like the first post in this thread states) and only wneh it finishes downloading the Chrome pop up window appear. When it should pop immediatelly asking me where to save it the moment i right click something and press Save As. At least that what i used to do before THIS whole problem started......
    Any thoughts...??????
    Please i am desperate......

  • How to fix skewed table columns and rows after re-import XML

    My question is regarding XML Import in InDesign CS3.
    I have a XML that has a table of 5 columns and 5 rows, when I import it into InDesign, the table shows up fine with 5 columns and 5 rows. However when I revise my table to have an additional column, and re-import the XML file, the table gets updated, but instead of with an additional column, it gets 'appended' with an additional row instead (InDesign seems to blindly replace each cell from left to right, top to bottom, and ends up with 6 rows instead). The XML file specifies the number of columns and rows (5 and 5 before, 5 and 6 after), why doesn't InDesign recognize it and automatically add a new column when I re-import the file?  Is this problem fixed in CS5.5? Is there a script to fix this?
    Here is an example of my old XML vs new XML:

    What I mean is, right now there is a "workaround" which requires a user to manually add an extra column before re-importing the XML (with an extra column), otherwise the results get skewed. If by providing a script we can simply ask the user to "run" it, it would be a more "acceptable" solution.  
    Right. So, one solution would be to use Convert Text to Tables. If you find that works for you, then you can script it.
    That's why I asked you...
    Of course if nothing is required from the user other than simply re-importing, then that would be the best solution.
    Well, one could imagine a script that was attached to the re-import command, or to the link update notification, but probably the first step is to get something that works reasonably well without automating it completely. Especially because triggers to run scripts silently can introduce hard-to-debug problems.
    Sure we can switch to use "CALS table and see if this works. The question is, why should we need to? In the 2nd XML there is clearly a different "aid:tcols" value, and yet InDesign seems to ignore it and assume the same # of columns? This sounds like an Indesign bug, can someone confirm? Is there any plans to fix this?
    Not to be snarky, but do you want it to work or not? There are the tools you have and the tools you wish you had, and you can't really do much with the ones you wish you had. I'm kind of assuming you are looking for a solution today, not a solution in 2013.
    Yes,  I believe two of us have confirmed this appears to be a bug.
    Plans to fix? Well, we can't really tell you. You could try asking Adobe, but that's not easy information to get out. But you can certainly open a support case at http://adobe.com/go/supportportal and ask. It's not like we have special information here...
    But you're probably better off filing a bug first, in that same fashion.
    But let's assume no one had filed the bug. CS6 is expected in the March/April 2012 timeframe. That means that they're probably just putting the finishing touches on it right now, and it's going to be very difficult to fix things in it now. So then the earliest you'd likely get it fixed in CS6.5/CS7/whatever which presumably comes out by 2Q2013, and that's assuming Adobe decides to fix it...
    I also can't find much documentation on how to update my table to a "CALS table", any examples?

  • How to fix "Modifying a column with the 'Identity' pattern is not supported"

    When doing Code First Migrations my mobile service always errors in the seed method with: 'Modifying a column with the 'Identity' pattern is not supported. Column: 'CreatedAt'. Table: 'CodeFirstDatabaseSchema.Methodology' for the CreatedAt column. All my
    models inherit from EntityData. 
    // Sample model
    using System;
    using System.Collections.Generic;
    using System.ComponentModel.DataAnnotations;
    using Microsoft.WindowsAzure.Mobile.Service;
    namespace sbp_ctService.Models
    public class Methodology : EntityData
    public Methodology()
    this.Scenarioes = new List<Scenario>();
    public string Id { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(50)]
    public string EntryMethod { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(50)]
    public string TestDirection { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(50)]
    public string PassCriteria { get; set; }
    [Required]
    [StringLength(50)]
    public string Dependency { get; set; }
    public bool ExtraInfo { get; set; }
    public virtual ICollection<Scenario> Scenarioes { get; set; }
    And in my Configuration.cs file during an update here's my seed method:
    protected override void Seed(sbp_ctService.Models.sbp_ctContext context)
    // This method will be called after migrating to the latest version.
    context.Methodologies.AddOrUpdate(
    m => m.Id,
    new Methodology { Id = "Methodology1", EntryMethod = "P/F", PassCriteria = "P/F", Dependency = "None", ExtraInfo = false, TestDirection = "Round" },
    new Methodology { Id = "Methodology2", EntryMethod = "P/F", PassCriteria = "Best", Dependency = "None", ExtraInfo = false, TestDirection = "Round" },
    new Methodology { Id = "Methodology3", EntryMethod = "P/F", PassCriteria = "Best", Dependency = "None", ExtraInfo = false, TestDirection = "In/Out" },
    new Methodology { Id = "Methodology4", EntryMethod = "P/F", PassCriteria = "Best", Dependency = "None", ExtraInfo = false, TestDirection = "Out" }
    For some reason on an update the CreatedAt field is created and given a value of null. So of course on an insert/update it will error because CreatedAt is an Identity field.
    I've tried to configure the modelBuilder in my context to tell it that CreatedAt is an identity field, but that still doesn't work.
    modelBuilder.Entity<Methodology>()
    .Property(m => m.CreatedAt)
    .HasDatabaseGeneratedOption(DatabaseGeneratedOption.Identity);
    So far the only way to fix this is by commenting out my Seed data, but it's not a fix. I've seen other solutions where you can force it to not serialize certain fields, but I don't know if those solutions apply.

    So I think this occurs because you might have created the database (Code-first) with POCOs that didn't have the CreatedAt field in them. I think that's what I did and the easiest way to fix it for me was to delete my database and re-create it with my POCOs
    inheriting from Entity Data from the very beginning. We were still in development so it worked out for us but I know some people might not be able to do that. Here's what my table looks like after it was created correctly:
    USE [database_name]
    GO
    /****** Object: Table [sbp_ct].[Methodologies] Script Date: 2/24/2015 9:48:45 PM ******/

    GO
    SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
    GO
    CREATE TABLE [schema_name].[Methodologies] (
    [Id] NVARCHAR (128) NOT NULL,
    [EntryMethod] NVARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
    [TestDirection] NVARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
    [PassCriteria] NVARCHAR (50) NOT NULL,
