Interactive Report "Group By" Limitation

Hi,
Anybody installed the latest APEX? i believe it's 4.2.3.
Could you please tell me
is the limitation for interactive report "group by" action increased? (3 columns max for my 4.2 version)
I consider this is a major drawback...
Thanks,
John

You can find out for yourself by requesting a workspace on apex.oracle.com, which always runs the latest production release.

No. Patch releases like 4.2.3 are never likely to include significant changes in functionality. They only provide bug fixes.

Interactive reports follow the 80/20 rule. They satisfy 80% of the requirements of 80% of users 80% of the time. If your requirements fall into any of the remaining 20% categories then you have to build something yourself. APEX is a development tool after all...

Interactive report "group by" endsum is only a page-sum!

Interactive report "group by" endsum (total for a numeric column) is only the sum of the values of the last page! Is this a bug?
You can test on the page: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=1949:1 User/password = apex/apex
You see a sample - as png picture - on the page: http://progkor.inf.elte.hu/a/GroupByEndSum.png

Interactive reports grouping issue.

Hi
I have a few interactive reports.
I need to be able to remove the GROUP BY clause on any field when that field is removed from view by using the Select Fields feature in interactive reports.
How can this be achieved?

Hi!
This is not possible with CRM interactive reporting unless you assign every employee to a manager role in the CRM Org Model (which would contradict it's purpose). Unfortunately, your request would contradict the central authorization principle behind interactive reporting.
Due to this fact and because the expected data volume would also probably be too large to be handled by interactive reporting, I recommend to use BW reporting instead. BW is much better designed for large data volumes, and you do not have the Org Model restrictions as in interactive reporting.

Interactive Reports - group by in SQL - download reports doesn't work

Hi,
I have the following SQL as the region source of an interactive report.
select SERVICELEVEL, SUM(CONTRACTVALUE), SUM(DOLLARVALUE), count(SERVICELEVEL) from "ACSPROD"."CONTRACT" where CONTRACTSTATUS='Active' group by SERVICELEVEL
The report shows exactly as expected. I have also integrated BI Publisher 10.1.3.4.1 with APEX 3.2.0.00.27
Problem 1
The report download doesn't work for any of the formats (CVS/XLS/PDF/RTF). When I rewrite the SQL without the group by clause (not the wanted results), then the report downloads work.
What am I doing wrong?
Problem 2
Irrespective of the above issue - when I add a sum aggregate and download the report (any format) - it doesn't show the summed value.
What am I doing wrong?
Please advise!
Cheers
Mynhardt

Hi Pratadamski ,
I could reproduce this issue at my end. This is a bug. So, I have filed on your behalf (6432429).
When i use tables ( not views) directly in my SQL and use column alias for computed column, it does work fine!
i.e., this query is good with databinding at designtime and runtime:
SELECT ALL trip.PersonID,
COUNT(*) AS Num_Trips
FROM trip
GROUP BY trip.PersonIDThanks & Appreciate your feedback,
Sakthi

APEX Interactive Report - CSV Export Limitations?

Hello,
I have an interactive report generated for some users.
The issue I'm having right now is that the results that the users need is over 100k and the export to csv option caps out at 65,535 rows. Is this a limitation on APEX Interactive Report's side and is there anyway to get around it so we can send 100k records (or more) to the users without them splitting the report many ways?
Thanks in advance.
Ivan

Ivan,
I'm afraid that I can't answer your question. The APEX insiders will have to field that one.
As one that dislikes voluminous reports, have tried swaying your users that you now have this great interface to drill to the data you need versus downloading gobs of data and filling up their hard drives. Ask if there is something else your application can do that they would do with all that data in Excel.

Interactive Report: collection not limited to screen?

Hi,
My problem: I want to use the selection made in an interactive report and put that into an APEX collection. BUT I do not want it to be limited to the rows shown on the screen.
For instance: if a user makes a selection with his interactive report of 2000 rows, the screen only shows for instance the first 50. I want the id's of the all the 2000 rows, so I can make a fixed report to be exported out of that.
Is it possible to obtain the collection that the interactive report uses?
Any help is appreciated...

Hi lilhelp,
If you dont want to show the report defaultly then, restrict your region source query of the report with some filter page items in your WHERE clause.

Controlling # columns in interactive report's Group By format?

Hi,
I have an interactive report with columns category, attribute1 to attribute 6.
I want to generate a report of sum of attributes 1-6, grouped by category column.
I see the group by option of interactive report is limited to only 3 columns. Is there a setting I can override to get more than 3 columns in my group by?
Thanks,

Issues with the Radio Group and interactive report

Hi,
I have an interactive report that shows customer names and associated revenues... I want my users to be able to filter customer list by Province and by City in a way that when the user select a province then only associated cities show up (driven by a table)... for the filtration I am using 2 Radio Group items (one for Provinces and the other one for Cities)
Everything is working fine, except for the fact that when I select a province (let's say Prov A) and then select a city (let's say City A1) and again when I select another Province (let's say Prov B) I get the list of all cities associated to Prov B + city A1... Not sure why my previous selection of City is showing up with the list of new cities when I change the province... I SHOULD BE ABLE TO REST ALL CITIES WHEN A NEW PROVINCE IS SELECTED
here is the code
For interactive report
select     CUSTOMER_NAME,
     SUM(YTD) AS YTD
from     T_TABLEA
where
(PROVINCE=
CASE
when :P2_PROV = 'All' THEN PROVINCE
ELSE :P2_PROV
END
and
(CITY=
CASE
when :P2_CITY = 'All' THEN CITY
ELSE :P2_CITY
END
GROUP BY CUSTOMER_NAME
For Province Radio Group I am using a static list:
STATIC2:All;All,Alberta;AB,Ontario;ON,Quebec;PQ,British Columbia;BC
For City, I am using a dynamic list using following code:
select 'All', 'All' return from dual
union
select distinct INITCAP(CITY) display_value, CITY return_value
from T_TABLEA
where
Province = :P2_PROV
order by 1
Thanks

Check the session state of items P2_PROV and *:P2_CITY* when the issue occurs and run the LOV query separately with the session state values.
If that too fetches it wrongly, then you would need to change your query.

Problem with column groups on Interactive Report

Hi
I am hoping that someone can help with this problem.
I am attempting to control both the grouping and ordering within each group of fields in the single row view of an interactive report. Creating column groups appears to be OK at first (sequence, name and description) but if I then attempt to edit the group, the sequence box appears to be empty even though it was filled with a unique number at the time of creating the group.
In addition, any changes to the order of the fields within the group made using the shuttle box at the bottom of the screen don't seem to be saved even to the Apply Changes button is pressed.
Anybody know what is happening here and can anyone suggest how to control both the order of the groups and ordering within each group?
Thanks in anticipation

How to set different default interactive reports for different user groups?

I'm probably overlooking an obvious solution, but how do I set different default interactive report for different user groups?
For the same interactive report, I want one set of users to see a default where the default filter is based on column X. However, another group of users doesn't have authorization to see that column so I need to set the default filter to something else for them.
Thanks

You can set a filter on a report in a URL - would that help? I think with apex 4.x you can also link to a saved default report or alternative report...

Interactive Report Issue - Control Brake for Group By

Hi all,
is it possible to create "Control Brake" for the Group By view of the interactive report?
I have the following IR with group by (Take a look at the GROUP BY View!!!): https://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=2071:212
Now I would like disable the lines with repetitive values. The report should be the following:
CPU Type    CPU Speed    Count (CPU Types)
========== =========    =================
Celeron           366                    1
Pentium I         100                    1
                  166                    1
                  200                    2
                 1200                    1
                 1700                    1

                  667                    1
.Is it possible to realize it with interactive reports?

Between operator for group by date in Apex Interactive Reports

Hi,
In the interactive reports filter, i couldn't find the 'between' operator for date field (got a 'group by date' in my sql query (source). I am just wondering, Is it beacuse of the group by date clause?. Is there any way to show the 'between' operator in the interactive reports filter.
Thanks

I just opened an existing IR style report, went to actions, filter, selected a date column and found between at the bottom of the list of values.. Are you sure the date you are trying to filter on is a true date column?
Thank you,

Controlling Chart Axis limits in Interactive Report

I have set up a bar chart in an Interactive Report where the x-axis is supposed to be a percentage. Currently, the bar chart's x-axis goes out to 120. Is it possible to limit it to 100 without having to create a chart region?
Thanks in advance!
