Interactive report column search not working

Hi,
On Apex 4.01 and discovered that when using the individual column search functionality (clicking on the column label), the search on a column for a userid, the dropdown listing is not showing all userids that are clearly listed in the report. For example, the dropdown only shows up through IDs starting with 's--------' so when I search for an ID with 'vm' it does not show it, yet I can do a sort and go down the rows on the report and find it. Is there a limit to the dropdown list? Or is this a bug?

Interactive report column order not working properly

Hi All,
Can anyone help me with this situation:
Example:
1)
First of all I created a interactive report with this simple query
Select 1 col_A, 2 Col_D from dual
2)Later I modified the query like this
Select 1 col_A, 1 col_C, 2 Col_D from dual
But when I run the report the new column added appear in the end?
I already tryed to reorganize the column order in the navigator menu, but the issue remains.
Any ideas?
Thanks

CSS Style (report column attributes) not working

I found the CSS Style settings for a report column only seem to work if using a "Standard Report Column". Since the report is wider than the screen, some columns are wrapping, making the report not-that-nice readable.
Unfortunately I have the need to define some report columns where undesired wrapping occurs as "Display as Text (based on LOV, does not save state)" and tried to avoid wrapping using "white-space:nowrap;" or specifying a fixed width, but it seems I'm out of luck - is there a way around this (other than performing the report query using a huge DECODE clause and setting the column to "Standard Report Column" again, which somewhat renders the LOV useless except for the select list on the data entry form)? This is happening on APEX 3.12.
Furthermore - is this expected behaviour?
Thanks in advance,
Holger

Furthermore - is this expected behaviour?Looks like it, or it is a [long-standing bug|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=1126613]. I've tried it (although only have access to APEX 3.0 at present) and none of the CSS class/style/custom attributes from Column Formatting or Tabular Form Element are being applied. If it's not a bug then it should be raised as an enhancement request.
In the meantime you'll need to work round it.
other than performing the report query using a huge DECODE clause Is that necessary due to a static LOV? If it's dynamic based on a table/view then get the look-up value in the query via a join or scalar subquery so you have a Standard Report Column and can use the CSS class/style/custom attributes from Column Formatting.
Alternatively, stick with the Display as Text from LOV and create a custom named column report template using [colgroup/col|http://reference.sitepoint.com/html/colgroup] to specify fixed width columns.

Interactive Report Bind variable not working ?

Hello,
i am new to APEX and trying to find how to use APEX Interactive Reports them with bind variables. So, i have created one with the following query:
SELECT i1.if_bic_code, b.bicname, count(*) cnt
FROM IF_DATA i1, bic b
WHERE i1.if_bic_code = b.biccode(+)
AND i1.insert_date BETWEEN :P40_X1 AND :P40_X2
GROUP BY i1.if_bic_code, b.bicname
The Report is supposed to show a count of submissions per bic_code (=bicname) from the table IF_DATA for the specified time period.
These 2 bind variables are actually 2 Items in the same region, using a Date Picker for them. They have no initial values. So, the report initially displays no records. After either using the Date Picker or manually entering values in these 2 Items, and pressing Go button still displays no rows. Am i missing something here? It seems that either the query is not submitted again to database, or the bind variables are not taken the values entered to them.
TIA

I tried with the date mask you proposed with no success though. It seems that it does not take into consideration the values of those items (variables) and i am wondering whether i have missed any step in this. The items are also of Date type with those settings for them under Source Group:
Source Used
Always, replacing any existing value in session state Only when current value in session state is null
Source Type
Static Assignment (value equals source attribute)
My aim is to filter the rows in the where statement through these variables(items), so this way letting the user specify the range and also display the report with the grouped values. The date field (insert_date) is not part of the Select part of the sql statement.
Also if i eliminate the date part of the where clause of the sql statement, the report displays correctly, but of course with the full date range, which is not what i want.

BUG: Dynamic report column headings not working with some templates

Using Apex 2.0, we are trying to create a vertical report with dynamic labels like &P26_REF_RECEIVED_DATE_L. based on items populated by PL/SQL.
This seems to work fine for some templates but not for others. With a horizontal report template we get output like:
<th class="t4ReportHeader" id="REF_RECEIVED_DATE">Received</th>
<td headers="Received" class="t4data">29-MAR-2007</td>But with the vertical template we get:
<th>&P26_REF_RECEIVED_DATE_L.</th><td>29-MAR-2007</td>Also, if we use "default: vertical report, look 1" we see "&P26_REF_RECEIVED_DATE_L." in the output, but with "default: vertical report, look 2" we see "Received".

have you checked that your report template has a
valid value for the "Column Heading Template"
property?This template has nothing in the "Column Heading Template" because it is designed to show the data in this form:
Heading1 - Value1
Heading2 - Value2
Heading3 - Value3
Hence both the heading and the data appear in the "Column Template 1" property as follows:
<tr><th class="t3header">#COLUMN_HEADER#</th><td class="t3data">#COLUMN_VALUE#</td></tr>
Maybe it is an Apex limitation that the #COLUMN_HEADER# value can't be accessed from this subtemplate? Yet somehow it works with "default: vertical report, look 2" (which I realise isn't a template as such).

Report column sort not working

Hello,
Apex 4.1
I have a master-detail report and form. I have ticked the "Sort" box in the Report Attibutes to sort by one of the fields, a text field. However, when I click on the column heading to sort the report it sorts by the primary key id column instead.
Is there something else that needs to be done to enable a sort on a column?
Kind regards,
Simon

Formula Columns are not working in Reports 10g

Hi,
We converted the reports developed in Reports 6i to Reports 10g. When we run the report in Reports 10g Builder everything works fine. But when we deploy the same report in Oracle Application Server and invoking the report the formula columns are not working ie., the fields/ placeholder columns which are based on the formula column are not displaying any values in the report.
Please, someone help us in this regard.
Thanks & Rgds,

What version of Reports do you use..???

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:

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
Edited by: mnrussel on 16-Feb-2009 04:13

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 >

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!

Few values of report column do not display in report while applying filter

Post Author: anuragg11
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
There are 6 drill filters applied on the report to filter out the report column data. Few values of the report are not displaying in the report when using drill filter. Same issue is with report filter too. If filters are removed then values are appearing in the report. We are using version BO XI R2 & Java runtime JRE 1.4v. It doesn't look issue is with Java version because only few specific data of the report column are not shown in the report when using filter on the data. Example: One of Report data column contains below values: 24.2, 26.9, 120.1, 230, 274.9, 275.8, 333.2 Report is displaying all these values when there is no filter on any data. But report doesn't display data when applying filter on 274.9 or 120.1 howver filter on other values 24.2, 26.9, 230, 275.8, 333.2 are working fine.

Hello,
I think i know what your problem is.
Although in table view your 2 requests combine perfectly and show separate results in pivot view BI unfortunaterly adds them up.
One work around would be to go in your criteria add in each request a dummy column. This can be obtained the following way:
1. click on a column to add it in the criteria (it doesnt matter which one)
2. go into the edit formula of that column
3. delete the formula and in its place write 'Dummy Column 1'
Do the same for the second request by adding a "Dummy Column 2'
Now the Pivot Table should also show up correctly
Let me know if it goes well or if you have any further questions,

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

Interactive report – column heading in multiple rows

I am using interactive report. My question to the expert/guru’s is: - How do I change column heading into multiple row with text wrap.
For example:- My column heading is
Is Employee Trained ? -------> (single row display)
I want to make it display like
Is Employee
Trained ? ------> (Multi row display)

Hi,
What you could do is, disable the download csv function from IR (Interactive Report Attributes--> Search Bar-- Uncheck Download) and in the region header create a link and redirect it to another page which will have the csv report output.
e.g. <a href="#" onclick="javascript:redirect('f?p=&APP_ID.:3:&SESSION.::&DEBUG.:3::');"" >Download Report </a>
Here I am redirecting the link to Page 3. On Page 3 create a sql report with the same query and make report template to csv. Thanks,
Manish

Mail search not working + Spotlight keeps indexing

I have an old problem that has resurfaced after creating a new user on my Mac. Mail search brings no results and Spotlight is constantly indexing - day in, day out. It never seems to get there. I tried turning my hard drive to private in Spotlight settings and then taking it out. Previously Spotlight seemed to get bogged down with external drives now it's stuck indexing my Mac.
Any advice? Is there a way I get unstick this?
