Interactive report sort text as number

Hello,
I was wondering if it is possible in an Apex interactive report to sort text as number?
For example, a series of text rows:
4
10
2
would sort as:
10
2
4
if it were text. What I would like to see is:
2
4
10
How could this be done?
Thanks.

If your column contains numbers only, you could use TO_NUMBER (column_name) column_name to convert it to a numeric value and it will sort it properly.

Implementing Interactive Reports Sorts in Report Query

My users love how the Interactive Reports work, especially being able to choose their sort fields. I have an Report Query that can use multiple sorts and many sort fields (chose from APEX page). Is it possible to implement this type of thing in the Report Query (without using decodes or dynamic SQL).
I looked at the code being executed by Interactive Reports and can see the order by changing
select
null as apxws_row_pk,
"CODE",
"CITY_NAME",
"STATE_CODE",
"PK_ID",
count(*) over () as apxws_row_cnt
from (
select * from (
select "PK_ID",
"CODE",
"CITY_NAME",
"STATE_CODE"
from "#OWNER#"."ZIP"
) r
) r where rownum <= to_number(:APXWS_MAX_ROW_CNT)
order by "CODE"

Ben, Not sure I follow.
I'm passing in the column names of the order by's from my APEX page to the DB function. Right now I'm doing a huge case statement for each one.
FUNCTION get_student_demographic (l_user in varchar2,
l_owner in varchar2,
l_report_order1 in varchar2,
l_report_order2 in varchar2,
l_report_order3 in varchar2,
l_report_order4 in varchar2,
SELECT (CASE l_report_order1
WHEN '%null%' THEN ''
WHEN 'LAST_NAME' THEN A.LAST_NAME
WHEN 'FIRST_NAME' THEN A.FIRST_NAME
..... many more
ELSE ''
END ) report_order1,

Interactive report Sort option

Hi,
Is there any way to show "Null always last" as default in Null sorting option of sort window for all interactive reports in entire application/workspace/system.
I was trying to modify "apex_ns_3_1.js" but I think.....I am confused.
Please suggest the way if we could do this in safe manner.
Apex Version: Application Express 3.1.1.00.09
Current look of sort window:
      Column                   Direction                         Null sorting
1    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
2    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
3    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
4    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
5    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
6    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Default
Expected:
      Column                   Direction                         Null sorting
1    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last
2    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last
3    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last
4    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last
5    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last
6    -Select Column-       Ascending                        Nulls always last

Sachin,
Are you not able to add an order by clause to the main query and default the ordering there? Also, when you create an Interactive Report as a developer you should be able to set/save the settings for the default.

Apex 3.1, Interactive Report Row Text Search, image bitmap as TEXT?

I think this IR thing is powerful which could save me lots of time in development.
One question: does the row text search(default: all columns) treat image column as regular text(string)? I did the following search on:
SAMPLE APPLICATION-->Products, I put 300 in the search column( for $300 list-price search), the search produces 3 lines( should only have 2). the 3rd line's list price is $1999, I looked it in SQL*PLUS and saw its image bitmap (long string) includes a "300" inside, so I believe the "default all columns search" treat image as regular string.
How can I avoid the image bitmap search included in IR? This bitmap strings are very long for each image and can EASILY match searching conditions for something like PRODOUCT DESCRIPTION, PRODUCT PRICE for our products data( about 25000)? thanks
sean

Sean / Russell,
Thanks for reporting this, it's certainly a bug.
By the way, the search is performed in SQL, on whatever column values are being displayed (run the page in debug mode to see the full SQL). So in the case of the sample application, it is not matching the image bitmap, but the image size, which is selected in the SQL. The bug is that the full search should not include columns which have filtering disabled or one of the special image format masks. We'll try to fix this for an upcoming patch.
Thanks,
Marco

Question on Interactive Report feature sorting

Hi,
I have about over 10,000 records and used the interactive report feature on Apex. For some reason, on the timestamp column, I tried to resort in the latest date and it only shows the latest date of last year and didn't show the latest date of 2010. I tried changing the timestamp column to sort by descending, and it doesn't show any latest date in 2010, only 2009.
Could this be an issue with the interactive report issue.
Thanks,
Michael

Hi,
If you have default 10,000 row limit in interactive report , sorting work only for that record set.
Increase rows that report show, or you can use ORDER BY in report select to get e.g. 10,000 latest row.

Interactive Report BUG (hangs when sorting columns)

Hi All,
i have an interactive report, and when i click on a column to sort the data the report hangs.
To circle in the screen keeps circeling and on the botom and i get an javascipt error in the apex_3_1.js file.
i am working with apex 3.2.1.00.02 with an oracle 10G DB.
I also can reporduce this error. When i have an interactive report in which the sorting works properly and i copy this page to a new page i get a report in which the interactive report sorting is not working.
Can you please help me in resolving the issue, or is this a known bug ?

Hello,
I came across the same issue. I made a test IR report with the following query
SELECT '<span class="blue">'||id||'</span>'||name as n_name, id

Check all checkbox in an interactive report

Hi,
I would like to add a "check all" functionality in an interactive report. I've done that by adding a javascript function to the header, but when I click the column header to check all the page first executes the javascript that is used by the interactive report (sorting etc). Is there a way to disable this javascript for just the checkbox clolumn, so that my own javascript code is executed?
Or is there another way to add this functionality to the IR?
Thanks

That works great! Thanks jarola
The complete answer in case anyone needs it is to first include the checkbox column in your IRR query
APEX_ITEM.checkbox (1, ca.id) del
Then include this as the column heading
<input type="Checkbox" onclick="$f_CheckFirstColumn(this)">
Then include the code as identified by jarola in the page HTML Header
<script type="text/javascript">
addLoadEvent(RemoveChkOnclick)
function RemoveChkOnclick(){
$x('apexir_DEL').onclick='';
</script>

Interactive report PDF download

Hi,
PDF output is not proper when interactive report is having more number of columns. I have a interactive report with 40 columns. I tried to change Page attributes in print attributes tab. But there is no change.
Please tell me what setups to be done for this.
Regards
Mohan

hi ,
i think you need to configure BIpublisher to setup inside your server to get the pdf output from apex report.

"Invalid number" error using Interactive Report search on collection

hi -- I have several interactive reports based on collections. In the IR reqion query definition,
I cast the collection values as needed (number, date, etc). Everything's been working great.
In both development and production, I can use the search feature of interactive reports
and it finds rows containing the text I type in (as well as everything else working fine...)
I just imported a new version of an application into our production database. Now, when I use the
interactive report search, I always get "invalid number". This even happens on interactive reports
that still work in the previous version of the production application... and these IRS
have not been modified at all.
If I create a filter and search for "elevation" in a string column, the filter works. If I create a filter
searching for "elevation" in a number column, I get "invalid number". (In the development
environment, I can do the latter -- it just doesn't find any rows.)
Clearly it's choking on the types of the columns in the IR... but why now and not before, and why
in the production database but not the development DB? Both are running 4.0.1.00.03.
This is a pretty major loss of functionality... and it comes at a really bad time... Help?!
Thanks,
Carol

hi Andy, Tony -- Completely understand about your email address. I've actually wondered at the fact that any
of you gurus are willing to give them out.
It's not tons of stuff, so here it is.
1) The application process that creates the collection. This process that runs whenever an IR
page is being rendered. The various DB names are application items. This application can affect data
on multiple databases. You'll see see this in the process that builds the query.
IF (apex_collection.collection_exists (
    p_collection_name=>'IR_COLLECTION')) then
    apex_collection.delete_collection(p_collection_name=>'IR_COLLECTION');
END IF;
apex_collection.create_collection_from_query_b(p_collection_name=>'IR_COLLECTION', p_query=>meta_data_pkg.build_ir_collection_query(:TABLE_NAME, :MASTER_DB_NAME, :CZAR_DB_NAME, :DB_NAME));2) The database function that constructs the query. Called in the above create_collection statement.
FUNCTION build_ir_collection_query (table_name varchar2, master_db_name varchar2, czar_db_name varchar2, ref_db_name varchar2)

Interactive Report (IR) column heading: filtered items number & flashlight

Hello everyone
several hours of searching through the forum did not provide me with leads or answers to 2 questions. Both are related to the IR column heading menu and options. Let's start with a copy of the relevant portion of the interactive report help screen:
Column Heading Menu
Clicking on any column heading exposes a column heading menu.
[snip]
Text Area is used to enter case insensitive search criteria (no need for wild cards). Entering a value will reduce the list of values at the bottom of the menu. You can then select a value from the bottom and the selected value will be created as a filter using '=' (e.g. column = 'ABC'). Alternatively, you can click the flashlight icon and the entered value will be created as a filter with the 'LIKE' modifier (e.g. column LIKE '%ABC%').
List of Unique Values contains the first 500 unique values that meet your filters. If the column is a date, a list of date ranges is displayed instead. If you select a value, a filter will be created using '=' (e.g. column = 'ABC').
Q1: Why do I not see a flashlight icon? I looked everywhere in the report definition to "enable" it, to no avail.
Q2: Although we've found IRs to be incredibly useful and embraced by end users, we are having issues when dealing with large datasets. Let's look at searching for people's first/last name in our CONTACTS table. The table is ~28,000 names long. If one attempts to use Column Heading menu to "filter" for any name outside the first 500 unique values, the search does not work. Yes, I know that a workaround is to use Actions Menu icon filter... but, it sure is misleading to have a search which does not go beyond letter B in the list of last names. Furthermore, I do not see a way to DISABLE Column Heading Text Area, and avoid user confusion.
I suspect that "List of Unique Values contains the first 500 unique values" was set for the performance purposes. Is there a way to set that number anywhere? Have it customized for each column? (columns county and state could be <100, for example)
Thanks an advance to any advice.

@Prabodh: what you say is only changing the default image for the column selector at the search bar level. What i think is being looked for is an icon on the popup when a column header is clicked in an IR. Don't bother: there is none.
@Vojin, Tonibony:
I also ran into this problem with IRs and the useless column header box. If you want to hide the unique values list, it is a bother. First of all, you can't disable the finding of values, this is embedded in the widget ajax code. Then if you want to just hide the list, there is no real event you can hook up to. The poping up of the box is an ajax callback, and is part of the IR javascript, but this callback does not trigger any event (no apexafterrefresh for example, which is understandable). I've worked around this by overriding/extending the method which is called when ajax is done loading within the IR code. Here is a piece of code which does this (call it on page load):
   // _Finished_Loading is called when the IR is done with a GET action
   // because the posts are synchronous in this report, and no events
   // or hooks are available, the best way to preserve functionality
   // yet extending it is to override the original function, yet
   // keep the base code
   // apexafterrefresh cant be used since it is not triggered after
   // the widget ajax
   var or_Finished_Loading = gReport._Finished_Loading;
   gReport._Finished_Loading = function(){
       //overriden, but still have to call orinigal!
      or_Finished_Loading();
      //SORT_WIDGET is the widget containing all the header elements
      if(gReport.current_control=='SORT_WIDGET'){
         // hide the original dropdown box
         $("#apexir_rollover_content").hide();
   };If you're interested, i've recently developed a plugin for use in my interactive reports which works around some of these limitations. For me, the headers are much more userfriendly than the actions > filter menu. So what i've done is: hide the orignal dropdown, and turn the searchfield into an autocompletion field, which will progressively search through the distinct column values in the IR with ajax. I've even made an option to have the searching behave like a "contains" or a "like". I'm working on a post about it, with background, documentation and source code. I'll add a post here when i finish it up, you can see if that helps you.
I also would like to add a button later on which will simply add the entered value as a "like %value%" filter. I know how to do this and what to do, i'm just a bit short on time at the moment. I actually think that adding the button in the layout may be the hardest part... :')

Sort order in an interactive report

In APEX 4.1 I am trying to create an interactive report based on a table that's similar to the following:
id - number
colA - varchar2
colB - varchar2
colC - date
colD - varchar2
In the IR, I'd like to have break on column A so that the report displays as follows:
colA
id, colb, colB, colC, colD
I want the sort order for column A to be based on the ID column, but I find that APEX displays it in alpha order based on the value for column A. I could include the value for ID in the break, but since it only has meaning inside the database, it leads to confusion among the users. I read some other posts where people have included the ID field and then used javascript to hide it in the report. I was wondering if there might be an alternative solution.

AT USER-COMMAND.
CASE SY-UCOMM.
WHEN 'BACK'.
IF SY-LSIND = 5.
SY-LSIND = 1.
ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
YOU CAN ASSIGN THE VALUE FOR SY-LSIND .

Get row number of record in Interactive Report

I am using an interactive report and want to be able to modify a field and if the value already exists in the database change it back to what it was originally. I am selecting data using the select statement below and I'm calling the javascript CheckExists function when the value changes. All this is working but I need to figure out how to get the row number so I can change the value back to what is in f03 in the same row. Does anyone know how to access the row number or know how I can do this?
select apex_item.checkbox(1, RESOURCE_TYPE_ID, 'onchange="CheckUsed(this, this.value);"', ':') "Delete",
apex_item.text(2, RESOURCE_TYPE, 20, 100, 'onchange="CheckExists(this, this.value);"' ) "RESOURCE_TYPE",
RESOURCE_TYPE_ID,
apex_item.text(3, RESOURCE_TYPE, 20, 100) "orig_resource_type"
from resource_types
order by RESOURCE_TYPE

Scott,
I was not able to find anything like using #ROWNUM# that would give me the current row number but I was able to get it if I looped through all the records until I found the record I was currently on. It is not really what I wanted to do but it works. I have included the code below.
Thanks a lot for your help I appreciate it.

Retrieving sort and filter criteria for interactive report

I have developed a test management system in APEX. Users log in and see an interactive report with their assignments. Each test they've been assigned occupies one row.
There is an "Execute" link for each row that takes the user to the test execution page, where they can see the input steps / expected results and report the test passing or failing.
I've implemented "Next >" and "< Previous" buttons on the execution page, so the user can immediately go forwards or backwards in his assigned tests without having to return to the assignments page and click the Execute link on the next or previous row.
The test execution page figures out what the next and previous assigned test is using the LAG and LEAD functions, like this:
lag(assignment_id) over (order by ref_num_full) prev_id,
lead(assignment_id) over (order by ref_num_full) next_id
Notice that I've "hardcoded" the over clause to be the reference number of the test.
The problem here - this solution ignores any custom sorts or filters the user has put in place on the assignments (interactive) report.
Is there a way I can "grab" the interactive report (1) sort criteria and (2) filter criteria dynamically? I'm thinking I could then use dynamic SQL to build an OVER clause used in the lag/lead calls so that the application now follows whatever sort and/or filter criteria the user has put in place.
Any help is greatly appreciated...thanks!!

Thanks WTine!
I took a look and determined
- I can get the sort criteria from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_RPT view (SORT_COLUMN_# and SORT_DIRECTION_# columns)
- I can get the filter criteria from the APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COND view

Can i have more than 6 columns to sort in interactive reports in apex 4.1?

As of now on clicking on Actions->format->sort only a select list with six columns is displayed in an interactive report . Is there any possibility to add more number of columns in this ? Can anyone help?

Hey there. WELCOME to the world of Macintosh. You are in for a great ride with this machine and platform.
Some good news for you regarding cameras. The neat thing about iPhoto, and indeed, the Mac, is that there is no setup required for hooking your camera to iPhoto. In fact, ANY camera you plug into the Macintosh that it recognizes will automatically work with iPhoto!
I regularly use three different cameras with my iPhoto application. As soon as I plug into the USB port and power on my camera, the Mac figures out that it needs to start up iPhoto. iPhoto figures out how to talk to the camera, and gives me the option to import pictures from the memory card... no configuration, no extra software to install. I do this with a Canon camera, and two different Sony models.
It's painless!
