How to get an effective EXCEL Spreadsheet as output for Oracle report 10g

Hi All,
I am a newbie in Oracle reporting. I am using 10g. I have an oracle report whose output format is PDF from the user interface. User asked for Spreadsheet output. I changed the JAVA CODE "desformat" = Spreadsheet and got the report in Excel. But this report is not as expected as it has many blank cells, misplacements etc and looks really ugly. so Is there anyway to get an excellent spreadsheet as output.
If anybody needs any more information on this, please let me know.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you so much Marwim. Your suggestion is very helpful. But I have some other Oracle reports which have only one .rdf file giving output in both pdf and Excel. This doubt might be silly. Almost same features were existing for the rdf what I am working now. For the remaining reports, it was given that DESFORMAT=SPREADSHEET , what this report lacks. I googled and found these links http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13895_01/orbr_paptoexcel.htm &
http://docs.oracle.com/html/B13895_01/orbr_paptoexcel.htm#CIHFDJAJ . But they are not intended for excel output. they generate only web layout in spreadsheet form. Could you please suggest any other ways to achieve this.
Thank you in advacne.

How to get total,maximum,mimumum no. of cases for this report

Description:     Reason For Contact For Customer - This report will provide the total number of cases created for a particular Reason For Contact for a particular Customer with a valid Business Code. This report will also provide the Maximum, Minimum and Average number of cases created for a particular Reason For Contact for that particular type of Customer. This report will take From Date, To Date, Agent Group and Business Code as inputs and generates the report on the screen. All the input criteria will be mandatory.
See the attachment for the Report.
NOTE :1) FOR TOTAL,WE HAVE COUNT NUMBER OF CASES CREATED for a particular Reason For Contact for a particular Customer with a valid Business Code
2) FOR Maximum, Minimum and Average CONSIDER number of cases created for a particular Reason For Contact for that particular type of Customer.
   For this report,I am using 5 tables. In the table ScaseParty i have C_Bus_Code,C_cust_type coulumns are there.
I am taking Input Criteria For Business code(ie c_bus_code).suppose business code is 'F0106',I have to get how many cases(means records) are there for a particular Reason For Contact for that Business Code.I AM GETTING THE TOTAL BUT
for getting maximum,minimum,average , i have to check the C_cust_type For that Business code ,after that I have to take all the business codes for that C_Cust_Type and with in the business codes ,i have to take the maximum number of cases which business code have for that particular Reason for contact For that particular customer type.
Eg: Reason for contact Businesscode   customer type
     Delivery Timing     0306            1
     Delivery Timing     0306            1
     Delivery Timing     0310            1
     Delivery Timing     0310            1
     Delivery Timing     0310            1
     Delivery Timing     0310            1
   In this way i want the result
    Maximum =4 since, for reason for contact(delivery timing) for that customer type(customer type =1),the maximum no. of cases are 4 bcz, business code = 0310 comes 4 times.
Minimum =2 bcz, business code = 0306 comes 2 times.
   The Problems i am facing
1) Since i have taken the input criteria Business code = 'f0106' ,the data filters in the where condition and the getting the number of cases exist for that business code(f0106) for that Contact of Reason data only.But i have to take all the business code exists for that Particular type of customer for that Particular reason for contact for getting the max,min,avg.
I can't handle max,min,avg in one report since it checks total cases for that Business code only.
SO,I THINK I HAVE TO INVOKE A SUBREPORT PASSING THE C_CUST_TYPE,iSN'T IT????
2) iF I TAKE THESE THINGS IN SUB REPORT,HOW CAN I find out the maximum number of case with in the business codes for reason for contact for that particular customer type.
CONSIDER THE ABOVE EXAMPLES, I AM GETTING 3 CASES FOR CODE = 0306 N 2 RECORDS FOR CODE= 0310 ,hOW CAN I GET mAXIMUM cASES ie 3 BY COMPARING THESE TWO CODES FOR THE DELIVERY TIMING . IS THERE ANY FUNCTION??????
In which way i have to handle this report.

Vijay

Hi Vijay,
The most efficient way to acheive what you want will be to create a stored procedure or command object in which you have a subquery that calculate your maximum, minimum and average values.
If you are looking at a solution within Crystal Reports without having to write a SQL Query, then as you said, you can use a subreport that will returns the cases created for a particular Reason For Contact for that particular type of Customer.
( You will need to link the subreport to filter the data down )
Then you can calculate the minimum values in the subreport by using the Minimum function and manually counting the values in a variable, the formula will look like:
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared NumberVar MyMinimum;
If Minimum({Business Code}) = {Business Code} Then
   MyMinimum := MyMinimum + 1;
Insert the formula in the details section of the subreport.
This will count the number of time the minimum Business Code appears in the subreport.
You can create a similar formula for the maximum values by using the Maximum function.
As for the average, you can create a summary that counts the number of of Business Code, divided by the distinct count of Business Code, so it will give you the average. The formula will look like:
WhilePrintingRecords;
Shared NumberVar MyAverage;
MyAverage :=
( If DistinctCount({Business Code}) <> 0 Then
     Count({Business Code}) / DistinctCount({Business Code}))
Then you can display the above shared variables on your main report.
Hope this help!

Patrick

How do I download a excel spreadsheet from my iPad back to my Mac Pro laptop

how do I download an excel spreadsheet from my iPad back to Mac Pro. the tech at the store showed my how to upload but not down load.

It kind of depends on how it is setup to sync. You can try to reverse his steps.
If you have icloud and use numbers - it will be done by icloud and you don't need to do anything
If he used file sharing in itunes, you need to drag that document backwards.
You can also email it.
And perhaps there are other ways as well.

Using the data from your Excel spreadsheet, this is what I get from the curve-fit functions:
Seems like a pretty-good fit to me. I'm not sure what you're trying to do with the polynomial evaluation stuff, though.

You should not create checkboxes like this. Either use the APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX2 API or change the Column Type to Simple Checkbox.

function test(pThis) {
var f01_value = $('select[name="f01"]').value;

name="f01" returns an array, what you need is single element value.
Try
<script type="text/javascript>
function test(pThis) {
var f01_value = $v(pThis);
alert('#SEQ : '+ f01_value);
</script>
{code}
{quote}

{quote}
Depends in how you are invoking/triggering the change event. Are you using DA or have you written an "onchange" event on the element?

Get the field as SPFieldNumber and then check DisplayFormat which returns
SPNumberFormatTypes
SPFieldNumber numberField = list.Fields.GetFieldByInternalName("YourNumberFieldName") as SPFieldNumber;
SPNumberFormatTypes numFormatType = numberField.DisplayFormat;

Hello,
Exactly which USB device are you referring to? Is the device a NI product?
The Product ID for National Instruments DAQPad-6020E is 0x12C0. The USB vendor ID is 0x3923. This is a 16-bit hexadecimal number(1093) (that is decimal 4243).
Also, here's a document on our website that will help you in configuring NI-VISA to control your USB device:

How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report

hello,
How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report ? For example something like "fsp_sort_1_desc" - if the user sorts by the first column ?
I cannot use the :REQUEST for this, sometimes the current sort column is not in the :REQUEST, but it is still active.
I thought it was posssible by using
APEX_UTIL.GET_PREFERENCE (
p_preference IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
p_user IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT V('USER'))
RETURN VARCHAR2;
function, but I don't really know which preference should I pass as parameter.
looking in WWV_FLOW_PREFERENCES$, i saw preferences_names like FSP4000_P527_R6281510839654570_SORT , I'm not sure how this name is formed.
I'm using generic columns for that complex report (which has a flexible number of columns shown), and the idea is that sometimes I have to overwrite that sort column, in case the user chose the version of the report with fewer columns than the previous one.
Can I get (using API) a list of all preferences set for some user ?
Thank you,

seems that it is FSP<app_number>P<pagenumber>R<regionnumber>_SORT.
is there anyplace where I can get these kind of things documented ?
Thank you.

How to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table

hello everybody,
I am new here and new in Oracle. I would like to know the steps how to import data from excel or csv files to Oracle table.
Let say I already have table inside the Oracle. Then my user give me the sets of data inside the Excel Worksheet.
So, how can I import the excel data into Oracle table.
Thank you in advance.
cheers,
shima

Even easier. Download JDeveloper 11G from this site.
Set up the database connection, right click on the table, select Import->Excel and specify your file to load it. On the import pop-up, you must view and update each tab indicating Columns, Data Types, and DML.
Columns -- move the selected columns that you want to load to the box on the right
Data Types -- select column name from second column to which the data for each column of the import file should load
DML -- click this tab to generate the INSERT SQL
Once done click 'Insert'
