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.

Thank you fac586,
Forgive me, I am a newbie at this and I am still at a loss. Where can I change the report column attributes to reflect css and alike. Do I need to do this on the report template or in the column attributes. When I have looked in the column attributes I cant see anywhere other than on the column link.Add a style sheet using the page HTML Header property attribute:
<style>
/* Replace COLUMN_ALIAS with the alias of the % column in your report */
td[headers="COLUMN_ALIAS"]:after {

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.

How to display data in interactive report column without colons (:)

Dear Apex gurus,
I'm a newbie and have just created an Apex application from a spreadsheet. I've created a named list of values and used it in a checkbox against a field in the default page 3 Create form.
When I've selected multiple values in my check box in the form, the data in the interactive report appears as one line with colons separating the selected values like this: Dog:Cat:Bird
What I would like is to have the data appear in the interactive report column as a multi-line list like this:
Dog
Cat
Bird
I can work around this by modifying the SQL code in the Region Source of the Region Definition of the report (Default Page 1 interactive report) to replace the colons with <br>
SELECT replace("PETS_CHOSEN",':','<br>') "PETS_CHOSEN", FROM "MYAPP" Note: this doesn't format properly in the posting. I replace the colon with a html br
This works, but seems to be a hack to me. I am guessing that I've missed a simple option setting somewhere, but I can't find it.
The other problem with this solution is that when I export the report to Excel, what is exported is Dog<br>Cat<br>Bird, which is seems worse than colons.
Thanks,
- Morgan

Hi Morgan,
I think you have at least two choices:
1 - Replace the colons with ', ' (comma and space) - sort of reasonable on screen and in an export
2 - Create a second page that has the same report but uses the "export: csv" template. Create a manual link to this page to replace the standard Export link. When such report pages are requested, they download immediately instead of displaying. You can, therefore, use commas in this one and <br> tags in the on-screen report version
Andy
ps - To display tags in a post, use &lt; for < and &gt; for >

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.

Make interactive report column nowrap

How do I make one of the interactive report column nowrap? In the standard report, I can add "white-space:nowrap" to column formatting, but IR does not have this option.

Hi,
Regular reports typically use different class name and other attributes for headings/data cells.
In some cases, the TD tag that contains the data uses the "headers" attribute containing the column name or alias. Many browsers can use this for styling.
For example: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:114]
In the region's Region Header, I have:
<style type="text/css">
td[headers=ENAME] {background-color:red}
#ENAME {background-color:yellow}
</style>I've used the background-color style to make it obvious, but other styling can be used if required. On this report, the column heading uses the column name/alias for the ID, so I've also used #ENAME to style that as well.

Interactive report column filters to display differently than column values

Greetings...
We use images a lot in our interactive reports to provide a visual representation to a status, or something locked for update, or what-have-you. By default, when a user clicks the column heading of a column which contains images, the drop-down list that shows up displays the actual images, which is nice for the user to identify exactly which thing they want to filter on. The problem is when the user selects on of the options in the filtering drop-down, the resulting condition that is displayed under the interactive report search bar is the HTML code of the image. I'd like something else to display there because showing the user the HTML code is atrocious.
I didn't think what I want is possible, but then I came across the Page Locks page within ApEx (page 4000:291 in ApEx 4.0.1) which displays a list of all the pages of an application and whether they are locked or not. It also allows you to bulk lock or bulk unlock a bunch of pages. That page uses an interactive report with a column called "Status" which contains images that represent whether the page is locked or not. When you click the "Status" column heading to filter, instead of seeing the images of an open and closed lock, you see the words "Page Locked" and "Page Unlocked." And even better... when you select on of them, the condition that is displayed to the user is very user-friendly.
Can someone tell me how this is done so I can replicate it in my own apps?
Shane.

Why not create the IR using the text you require e.g. 'Lock', 'Unlock' and then use JQuery to replace the text in the report with the image you want. All the filters should then show the plain text and the report will display the image. e.g.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=46801:1
Here's what I did:
Firstly make sure the IR has a region template.
Then create a Dynamic Action with the following attributes:
1. Advanced
2. Event: After Refresh
3. Selection Type: Region
4. Region: [select the IR Region]
5. Action: Execute JS Code
6. Fire on page load: [checked]
7. Code:
$('td [headers="TEST"]').each(function(index) {
if ($(this).text() == 'Lock') {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/locked_small.gif" alt="Lock" />');
else {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/unlocked_small.gif" alt="Unlock" />');
});Where TEST is the column name.
That's it, this may also be of interest:

Passing parameter from interactive report column link to new page

I'm very simply trying to pass the value of the column link to the where clause on the next page.
Interactive Report on P2 has column link fid alias in sql query.
I read somewhere to refer prefix the interactive report column with IR ??
So I have item name P2_FID, value #FID#. Anyway, I've tried a kazillion things.
Created a hidden item with same source value... sigh.
Is there a syntax to refer to a report column link, rather than an item_id in a region where clause?
Is there a simple direct way to do this?
Thanks,
Pamela
-----pls/apex/f?p=163:1:2746459963336955::NO::P2_FID:119

Thank you Varad...
Unfortunately, I am still getting no data found. (and there IS data).
a) Do you mean in the link column section of the report attributes? that is done: item 1 name= IR_P2_FID, value = #FID#
b) Do you mean my changing my hidden page item to ir_p2_fid with its source value as #FID# ? also done.
Do I need this hidden item?, and if not how do I refer to link in the where clause of the called page's sql region?
3) Where Fishery_id = :IR_P2_FID
Where Fishery_id = &IR_P2_FID
Thanks again!

Interactive Report Column Headings and Row Height

I am using the div style="width:350px;" method to control the width of columns in various interactive reports. That works fine except for the following:
1. When creating filters, the <div...> stuff shows up along with the actual column heading, thus confusing some end users
2. Even when I uncheck the "Use same text for single row view" checkbox and then provide a simple single row view label, the <div> stuff still shows up on the single row view
Does anyone have a better solution?
Also, does anyone know of a way to limit the row height within an interactive report row? I have some columns of data that contain a large amount of HTML data and I'd like to be able to limit the number of rows that show on the report.
Is Oracle planning to provide some better control over the Interactive Report columns in another version? The Interactive Report is such a huge improvement in usability in APEX - it would be great to take it to another level by providing some better control over column width and row height.

Dale,
Unfortunately we don't have much we can use to do what you would like. I would have said it's impossible until version 4 but you could actually do something similar to what Roel has done. His trick is in the edit button. He changed the edit button to use an "onload" call to a JavaScript process. You could do the same but call a process that goes across the rows and styles each column. Now because you don't have a way to identify the column (can't use the order because the end user could change it) you'll have to write the code to look at the top row first and then style the appropriate column. As far as I can tell, this would be quite difficult and inefficient. Having said that if you need it that bad and would like some help with it, put up an example application on apex.oracle.com and provide the workspace/username/password and I'll take a look.

Interactive Report column visible but cannot filter

I have a complex interactive report running on Oracle 10gR1 using Apex 3.1
When I display the report, all the desired columns are visible. However, when I try to do a filter on a particular column it does not appear in the column filter list even though it is visible in the Select Column list. All the other report columns are available in the filter list.
The specific column is the result of a join and a substitution within the SQL select. The problem column is 'file_nm'. I've bolded the line in the script below.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
George

Report column format

What are valid values for the reports column format field?
Can't find it in the help, searched the forum and looked in a selection of the pre-defined reports. Very few of the reports seem to have columns defined, and the one I did find was something like {0,date,medium}.
It would make more sense to use something like SQL*Plus column formats,

I am familiar with the to_char(number) function. I just tried it in the report as suggested. It does not format the columns in the user defined report. I tryed the same statement using a number in sqlplus and it worked fine.
This is what I'm trying to do, I copied the free space report so I could get a %free and i'm trying to format the numbers.
to_char(kbytes_alloc,'999G999G999G999D99) "Allocated MB".
I want the numbers to have 2 decimal places.
There is a column tab when creating a user defined report that would imply it formats that column.
Thank you in advance for help. By the way, I'm using the 1.1.0.21 build MAIN 21.7

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
[Parent Name|http://ndhoast.tsh.mis.mckesson.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=123:75:720425469268847:fsp_sort_1_desc::RP&fsp_region_id=27444927281350588|Sort by this column] [Payor Name|http://ndhoast.tsh.mis.mckesson.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=123:75:720425469268847:fsp_sort_2::RP&fsp_region_id=27444927281350588|Sort by this column] ClaimType ST [RH Payor ID|http://ndhoast.tsh.mis.mckesson.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=123:75:720425469268847:fsp_sort_5::RP&fsp_region_id=27444927281350588|Sort by this column] [Naic/EmdPayor Id|http://ndhoast.tsh.mis.mckesson.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=123:75:720425469268847:fsp_sort_6::RP&fsp_region_id=27444927281350588|Sort by this column] LOC TRX [TRX Count|http://ndhoast.tsh.mis.mckesson.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=123:75:720425469268847:fsp_sort_9::RP&fsp_region_id=27444927281350588|Sort by this column] [TRX Dollar Amt|http://ndhoast.tsh.mis.mckesson.com:7778/pls/apex/f?p=123:75:720425469268847:fsp_sort_10::RP&fsp_region_id=27444927281350588|Sort by this column]

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.

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.

Mouseover / hover functionlity on Interactive Report column

Hi,
I have an Interactive Report and having 2 columns say BATCH_NUM, BATCH_DESC.
only BATCH_NUM is displayed on the IR.
I want something like mouseover / hover functionlity on BATCH_NUM field, so that if user is over BATCH_NUM field it should display the BATCH_DESC for that record.
Any idea how can I do that.

Background image on Interactive report column

Hi,
I have had a request from a customer with regards to displaying a background image behind a column on an interactive report.
The interactive report is used to show notes added for an individual in the application.
They want to display a note image behind the text to make the note stand out better.
Is it possible to add a background image to the each cell in the interactive report
Thanks

APEX: Show description in Interactive Report column

Hi experts!
I need to show title and description in the headings of an interactive report in APEX. So when the user places the mouse on the heading of the column, a description message is displayed.
In the heading field, I have introduced this string:
<SPAN TITLE = "Secció Numèrica">SC.N.</SPAN>
Where "Secció Numèrica" is the description and SC.N. is the title.
This works fine in the report and the description is shown, but the problem is:
When the user click on the 'select columns to display' action, the displayed label is
<SPAN TITLE = "Secció Numèrica">SC.N.</SPAN>
instead of "SC.N." or "Secció Numèrica".
Obviously the customer does not want to see that string. I have been looking for any solution in manuals and forums but with no results.
Thanks in advance for your help!
Javier

It is solved.
The customer is happy having the description displayed in the Help Text section, so it is shown with the info tag.

Javier
