Interactive Report - Break formatting style

Hi All,
Is there a way to make Interactive reports break format work/look like classic reports break format? i.e.1st,2nd,3rd column option. The way IR breaks is that is reserves a whole row for the column used in the break, which is not what I want, I want the report to look like the following:
city               emp           sal
Chicago     John Miller 1500
                 Mark Horton 2000
Denver       Rob Martino 1200
I tried to use rollup queries which work fine except that it does not do exactly what I want when I sort columns through the front end , I am basically displaying a check box for grouped records ( and I want it to display at the first record of each group), so the order is important. for example:
checkbox   City               emp           sal
[ ]               Chicago     John Miller    1500
                                  Mark Horton 2000
[ ]              Denver       Rob Martino 1200
Thanks,
Sam

would someone please confirm if this is doable/undoable at least? I've spend a lot of time exploring possible options (none worked) and it would really help if someone can help me saving some time.
Thanks in advance.

Non-Interactive Report Break Formatting

I have a non-interactive report that is very large and I am trying to use break formatting to provide subtotals. It works, but is quite ugly. Can anyone tell me where I might find a list of the various substitution strings that can be used for controlling the appearance of the breaks? For example, right now when it breaks for a change in "Payor Name", the subtotal row is labeled "Total for Payor Name". It would be much friendlier if the row label said "Total for Aetna" when Aetna is the Payor Name and "Total for Cigna" when the Payor Name is Cigna, etc. For example

Report Break Formatting

Can someone please point me to examples of using the various report break formatting options under Report Attributes? Screenshots of this in action using various options would be highly appreciated.
The online field help (http://tinypic.com/m8z920.jpg) is not enough to fully understand the capabilities provided.
Thanks.

This is from: Linnemeyer, Lawrence C., and Bradley D. Brown. Oracle HTML DB Handbook. Emeryville, CA: McGraw-Hill/Osborne, 2006. 222-224. 
This description taken directly from the book and is for version 2.0. 
Limitations: "...Only break on one, two, or three columns, and they must be the first columns in the report. The second limitation is that you are fairly restricted in formatting the breaks." 
"The Break Formatting section of the Report Attribute page provides the input fields for controlling report breaks. The first field, Display This Text When Printing Report Sums, is always active and is used whenever you select the Sum check box for a numeric column in the Report Column Attributes section. If you do not provide text in this field, the HTML DB engine will automatically include the label "report total:". The Breaks field defaults to No Breaks and allows you to select to break the report on the first column, the first and second columns, or the first, second, and third columns. Once you select a value other than No Breaks, the remainder of the columns will be enabled. 
The next field, Display This Text on Report Breaks Using #SUM_COLUMN_HEADER# Substitutions, is the way you can format what is displayed when a report breaks to show subtotals. If you leave the field blank, the HTML DB engine will automatically display on the break rows “columnheading total:”. You can customize what is displayed using this field. Use the substitution variable #SUB_COLUMN_HEADER# to reference the header of the break column. Unfortunately, the current version (version 2.0 at time of printing) does not allow you to reference the value of the break column. 
The first and last field in the center section of the Break Formatting section can be used to format a row before and after the break row, respectively. Unfortunately, with the way they are currently implemented, you must provide the complete HTML code for the row. For instance, if your report has five columns, you would enter something like: 
< t r >< t d >first col< / t d >< t d colspan = “3” >< t d >last col< / t d >< / t d >< / t r >
 
The center field is used to format the actual break column. The formatting entered needs to be the HTML for a column and can use the #COLUMN_VALUE# substitution variable, like this: 
< t d align=right >#COLUMN_VALUE#< / t d >
 
Note that all the columns in the row will have the formatting applied to them. 
The final two fields provide you two different options for displaying the first column break. The field Identify How You Would Like Your Breaks to be Displayed has two possible values: Default Break Formatting and Repeat Headings on Break. The Repeat Headings on Break option causes the first breaking column to be reported as a heading with the column headings for all the remaining columns repeated after each break.” 
Thanks,
Joe

Oracle APEX Classic Report Break Formatting

I created a classic report. Under report attributes I defined Break Formatting as "First, Second and Third Column".
The data columns for this report are Domain, Discipline, TechnologyArea and Products.
Domain is the parent. Discipline is a child of domain. TechnologyArea is the child of Discipline. Products are children of TechnologyAreas.
Domain prints in the first column, Discipline in the second, TechnologyArea in the third and Product in the fourth. There are one to many products for any TechnologyArea - and one to many TechnologyAreas for any Discipline - and one to many Disciplines for any Domain. The report is sorted on Domain, Discipline, TechnolgyArea and Product. Therefore domain prints over and over and over. Discipline prints over and over until it changes. TechnologyArea prints several times before it changes. I don't like that.
I want the report to print Domain and not print it again until it changes. I want it to do the save for Discipline and TechnologyArea.
I set break formatting to "First, Second and Thrid Column". Now Domain prints once and does not print again until it changes. So far so good! Now Discipline prints once and does not print on subsequent rows until the discipline changes. So far so good! The TechnologyArea name prints on every row. That's not good.
Given this pattern, if there were an option for First, Second, Third and Fourth columns I think that would give me the report I want - but there's not. Can anyone tell me how to stop TechnologyArea from repeating on every row?

This look about right?
notice the last two records in the with statement are duplicates.

Interactive Report Column Formating '%' symbol

Hi,
I have an intercative report that shows a column displaying a number and and the sysmbol %. The source query is similar to:
SELECT my_number||'%' as display_percentile
FROM dual;
Because of this the interactive report will only show this column as a string type and not number type, therefore my math filtering options are not available. Is there a way that I can display the column as a number type and still have it display as 50%
I am using Application Express 4.1.0.00.32
Thanks in advance.

Interactive reports - Number formats

Hi Guys,
I am new to Interactive Reports. I have a number column that I want to but a format on and have a total which I also want to format. Any ideas. TO_CHAR means I cannot apply an aggregate.
Thanks

Go to Report Attributes tab, and click on the Edit icon in the Column Attributes area. In Column Definition, you will see Number/Date Format option.
Hope it helps.

Interactive report column formatting

When control break is applied for any column in interactive report then the color applied to any column does not get applied.
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="ABC"] {color: RED;}Sanjay

With the control break the IR generates different mark-up, so you need to add another selector to the rules so there's a match on the column cells in both the standard and break report views.

Interactive Report - Date Format

Hi,
I created an interaticve report, in which one of the column is date picker data type. However, it's not showing the hour and minutes even though I chose the "DD-MON-YYYY HH:MIPM" format mask.
Does any one know why this it? Thank you very much for the help!

Hi Chris,
I tried to replicate this, but could not. Now granted, I tried this using the new "modern" method of controlling the default application date format via the new application Globalization attribute "Application Date Format". I set the Application Date Format to fmMM/DD/fmYY and my IR on EMP worked just fine.
If you can replicate this on apex.oracle.com (using Application Date Format), I'd be happy to take a look at it.

Download Interactive Reports to Spreadsheet - Aggregation rows?

Is there any way to use the Interactive Report download formats (either XLS or CSV) so that the spreadsheet includes the aggregation rows (SUM, AVERAGE) for each control break displayed on the screen.
I am on 3.1.0.00.32 (soon we will be at 4.1).
When we create a customized report using the interactive tools, it only downloads the data, and not the sum rows.

When we create a customized report using the interactive tools, it only downloads the data, and not the sum rows.A workaround would be to use SQL to provide the aggregation rows. The ROLLUP, CUBE and GROUPING SETS (my favourite) group functions are especially build for such a task.
Here is an example in the docs: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/statements_10002.htm#i2091446

Control Breaks in Interactive Report Throw off HTML Header Style

I created an APEX 4.0.0.11.23 page with an interactive report. Several columns are character strings with embedded spaces. At first, when the columns displayed they were wrapped around to as many lines as there were spaces. so I formatted it with this HTML header style:
$('td[headers="ADDRESS"]').attr("style","white-space:nowrap");
This corrected the problem but then the user requested two breaks on Column_A and Column_B. This threw the formatting off so I corrected it with this HTML header style:
$('td[headers="ADDRESS BREAK_COLUMN_A_COLUMN_B_2"]').attr("style","white-space:nowrap");
Now the lines wrap for some but not for all rows and there does not seem to be any pattern. So for instance the address for one particular row will look display in the desired format as:
530 EAST 144TH STREET
And another almost identical row will display as:
525 EAST 143RD
STREET
I thought there may be binary data in the column so I embedded the following code in the main SELECT query that drives the page”
Regexp_Replace(ADDRESS, '[^[:print:]]')
This did not help. How do I implement HTML header styles for interactive reports with multiple control breaks so that the address is formatted properly for every line? Is there a related report or page attribute that needs to be set?
BTW, the way I discovered the HTML header style for interactive reports with multiple control breaks by following this link which was provided in a related thread:
Re: Interactive Report Control Break disregards HTML Header style.

Default Style Column Breaking in an Interactive report

In a normal SQL report there are two types of column break formatting:
1) Default Breaking Format e.g.
aaa 123
456
bbb 789
123
2) Repeat Headings e.g.
aaa
123
456
bbb
789
123
Interactive reports seem to only implement Repeat Headings . Is it possible to break columns in an IR report using "Default Breaking Format"? If so how?
thanks

Is it possible to add conditional column formatting in an Interactive Report in Apex 4.1? I've found numerous examples for older versions using the standard (classic) report, but I haven't found any with the new Interactive Report. Is this possible? and if so, can someone point me in the direction of some documentation or examples?
Oracle Application Express (APEX)
As interactive reports lack the HTML Expression feature of standard reports, the simple way to do this unfortunately requires violating the separation of concerns and generating structural (a <tt>span</tt> element) and presentational (an in-line style sheet) aspects in the query:
select
⋮
 , case
 when trunc(calling_date,'DD') = trunc(sysdate,'DD')
 then
 '' || to_char(calling_date) || ''
 else
 '' || to_char(calling_date) || ''
 end calling_date
⋮For number/date columns to be properly sortable, the leading edge of the column must be an HTML comment that provides the required sort order using character semantics, as shown here.
The Display As column attribute for such columns must be set to Standard Report Column.
This method has side effects: some IR filters won't work; aggregate calculations can't be applied to the column; and report exports contain the HTML rather than the expected value.
Other approaches involve using Dynamic Actions/jQuery/JavaScript, or using the built-in highlight as suggested above, then saving the highlighted report as the default.

Interactive Report Need total of aggregate (sums) where break format used

I have an interactive report that uses break formatting. When I do an aggregate (sum) for the Quantity Column I get the sums for each campaign_id (used for the break format column). This is great. However, at the bottom of the report I need a grand total for all campaign ids (a sum of the sums) in a new row at the bottom of the report. Is this possible?
I can't paste a screenshot here to show but her is a simple one column example - I can't make the columns stay lined up but I think you can see what I need.
{code
Campaign Hand Addressed (break format column)

How to Suppress Report Total When Using Sum on Columns & Break Formatting

I need to know how to NOT show the report total line when using the sum functionality with a break in a report.
I am summing two columns, a debit amount and credit amount. I am breaking on the first column which is the level of a hierarchical query. I want to see something like this:
Parent Record xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Parent Sum $$ $$
Child Record xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Child Record xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Child Sum $$ $$
However, when I run the report, I also get a report total line under the child sum which is really meaningless for this report.
I have also tried creating this report as an interactive report. When applying the sum on the two columns, I do get the sum totals on the break only - no report total - however, it is reversing the order of the hierarchical query results putting the child records first and the parent records second.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hi, and welcome!
I don't think that there's an easy way to "switch off" the Total line on a report. The nearest I could suggest would be to either hide the entire row or colour the text so that it's the same as the background - either way, the total is calculated but the user won't see it.
If you put something like the following into your report region's Region Footer:
<script type="text/javascript">
var outertable = document.getElementById("#REGION_ID#");
var innertable = outertable.getElementsByTagName("TABLE")[1];
var rs = innertable.rows;
var lastrow = rs[rs.length-1];
if (lastrow.cells[0].innerHTML == 'TOTAL')
rs[rs.length - 1].style.display = "none";
</script>Then, on your report's Report Attributes page, scroll down to the Break Formatting section and put TOTAL into the "Display this text when printing report sums" setting. Also, in the "Layout and Pagination" section, set "Enable Partial Page Refresh" to No.
The above code is based on the report and region templates that I'm using here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:147] (Theme 18, "Report Region" region template and "Standard" report template). Your report may use different templates, so the first two lines on the code may have to change. #REGION_ID# would be replaced with the region's ID value (which would be "R" followed by a long number). As long as you can identify the HTML tag that uses this ID value, you can then get to the actual table that contains the data as it would be a TABLE within that tag - the [1] above is the second table within the region. In some instances, you may have to use "region_#REGION_ID#" as the starting point.

Format in different ways different BreakTotals in Interactive Reporting

Hello everybody,
Platform: Hyperion System 9.3.1.
I need help in formating totals in an Interactive Reporting report.
The report shows stock data:
geographic area, country, city, store, article, stock quantity
I have created break totals for geographic area, country, city, store.
I would like to format differently these totals:
for example the total for geografic area in blue, the total for country in green and so on...
and finally the grand total (a format different from the ones of the above break totals)
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thank you!
Daniela

Instead of Break Totals in a Table use either Report Groups (Footers) or embedded Pivot on the report
