How to set first column as date (dd/mm/yyyy) in the specific format in excel

hi need help wat i did need help is tht i need wen ever i send view a excel data the first column set to date but some times wen i view in different type of pc the date format change to mm/dd/yyyy. is thr any way i can set the format?

If you just need to reformat a correct date to show up as dd/mm/yyyy, just use the "Format Cells" command and set a custom format string to exactly that. If, on the other hand, you are finding that Excel just doesn't get that the first value is a DAY, not a month, such as trying to graph a temperature data logger that records data in dd/mm/yyyy:
Reformat the strings as dd/mm/yyyy, using the first method. This will make them LOOK correct, even though the actual date VALUES are still day-month inverted. Now save the table as a .CSV file. This will save the dates as plain text in the correct order, which you can then re-import and have Excel now read the correct date value.

how to set page number & current date in sqlplus result

Hi,
Use the TTITLE command. For example:
SET     PAGESIZE     15
TTITLE     LEFT &_date     RIGHT "Page:" FORMAT 999 sql.pno     SKIP 2
SELECT     ROWNUM

I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only), and the results you want from that data. If your question is based on commonly available tables, like those in the scott schema, then you don't have to post any sample data: just post the output.
Explain how you get those results from that data.
Always say what version of Oracle (and other relevant softward, SQL*Plus in this case) you're using.

How to set default value to date type attribute.

Hi,
In wdinit() method u can set the date
DateFormat df = new SimpleDateFormat("MM/dd/yyyy");
Date today = Calendar.getInstance().getTime();
String reportDate = df.format(today);
wdContext.currentContextElement().setFromDate(reportDate);
Another way you have set the this formate like that
1. Create a Simple type under "Dictionaries->SimpleType" called DateFormat
2. Select the type as "date"
3. Go to the "Representation" tab and set the format as "dd/MM/yyyy" (or whatever u want, but month should be MM)
4.Bind the context attribute to the type created now.
Hope this helps u.
Best Regards

How to set initial column widths for a table

What I'd like to do is to control the initial column widths for a table.
I'm building the table by using a class which extends AbstractTableModel. This class takes care of setting the headers and reading the data for the table.
If I do the following:
VarTableModel vtm = new VarTableModel(vi);
JTable jt = new JTable(vtm);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
frame.getContentPane().add(jsp);
frame.setVisible(true);
I will see a table in my window. The widths of the columns are equal and are a function of the horizontal dimension of the window.
I have tried to set the width of a column by doing the following:
TableColumn aColumn;
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(0));
aColumn.setWidth(40);
But this has no effect on what gets displayed. I can force the widths that I want by using 'setMaxWidth' but this has the unfortunate side effect of not allowing the user to make the column wider if they want.
What I'd like is a way to specify the widths of the columns when initially displayed and then let the user adjust to their liking.
I'm sure that there is a way to do this, but I don't seem to understand where to intervene in the process to produce the effect that I want.
Any help or suggestions will be greatly appreciated!

Table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
add this line and try ur codeThanks for the suggestion! Unfortunately, it doesn't seem to do the trick. Here is an abbreviated segment of my code:
vtm = new VarTableModel(vi);
JTable jt = new JTable(vtm);
// we want a horizontal scrollbar, so turn resizing off
// and we want to control column widths
jt.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(0));
aColumn.setWidth(40);
. // same kind of thing for each column
aColumn = jt.getColumn(vtm.getColumnName(4));
aColumn.setWidth(400);
JScrollPane jsp = new JScrollPane(jt);
frame.getContentPane().add(jsp);
frame.setVisible(true);
If I do the above, the table gets displayed with each of the five columns the exact same width. So, the sizing of the columns is happening somewhere else despite turning auto resizing off.
Where is that occurring and how can I intervene so that I can control the widths of the columns on initial display and still allow the user to adjust the widths if they so choose?

JScrollPane scroll setting first column is not visible?

Hi All,
i am using jtable and jscrollpane. in this my first column of 70 pixal width and rest 125 pixal width.set focus is on 1 cell(1 row, 1 column) in table. but due to this scrollbar is slightly on right side whice coz first column not visible.(need to drag for visibility). i am trying to make it visible without dragging.
how to do this? HELP.
i tried with tableScroll.scrollRectToVisible(table.getCellRect(0,0,true )); & -1,-1
but it didnt worked.
Code is like this..........
table = new JTable(64,65){
table.setName("Table");
((DefaultTableModel)table.getModel()).setColumnIdentifiers(vectName.getColumnIdentifiers());
          for(int i = 0;i<table.getRowCount();i++) {
               table.setValueAt((i+1)+"",i,0);
          table.setGridColor(Color.black);
          table.setSelectionBackground(new Color(125,255,144));
          table.setAutoResizeMode(JTable.AUTO_RESIZE_OFF);
          table.setCellSelectionEnabled(true);
          table.addKeyListener(listener);
          table.addMouseListener(listener);
          table.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(this);
          table.getColumnModel().addColumnModelListener(this);

How to compare 2 columns with data like...

Hi,
I have to compare 2 columns from 2 different tables the columns contain data like
SELECT CIRCLE FROM RATE_PLAN
OUTPUT
(AP,NAT)
(AS,NAT)
(BH,NAT).
SELECT CIRCLE FROM subscriber_info
(AP,NAT)
(AS,NAT)
(BH,NAT)
but when i put a join on the tables on this column i get the ouput as -0 rows returned
select col1,col2 from rate_plan,subscriber_info
where
rate_plan.CIRCLE=subscriber_info.CIRCLE
HOW DO I COMPARE THE 2 COLUMNS SO THAT I GET MATCHING RECORDS??
NOTE:-DATATYPE OF BOTH THE COLUMNS IS SAME.

Hi,
using SQL*Plus can you cut and paste the result of following commands :set tab off
set trimout on
set trimspool on
desc rate_plan;
SELECT '-'||CIRCLE||'-' c FROM RATE_PLAN ;
desc subscriber_info;
SELECT '-'||CIRCLE||'-' c FROM subscriber_info ;And be sure to use the tags {noformat}{noformat} before and after the pasted output.

Hello,
I want information about FISCAL Week, means a Week based on ISO standard. I know format strings ‘IW’ or ‘IYYY’ gives fiscal week and fiscal year respectively from a given date. But I want to find the first and last date of a fiscal week. Say suppose I have a fiscal week is 2, and fiscal year is 2008, how to find the start and end date of the given fiscal week.
Any kind of help would be greatly appreciable.
Thanks,

Edited by: davide gislon on 08-Jan-2009 07:19Your query does nothing you say it does. TO_DATE('&year','YYYY') returns first day of the current month for year &year. And the only reason it returns January 1, &year is that we are currently in January:
