Interactive reports help

Hi all
I have some questions about Interactive reports 3.1 . I'm not sure if IRR have this capability but I know I am having a hard time setting it up for a user. So if anyone knows if this is possible it would be a great help
First I need to create a IRR that is grouped by Vendor/Year. Other column would include project and contract amount.
I filtered the report using date between 01/06 -12/31/07 - easy enough
The purpose of the report is to show the total spent on contracts for the year 06 compared to 07 . The user would select the years to compare in the future.
I can break on vendor and aggregate the sum of the contract amount but I can not seem to
a) get a grand total of all contracts
b) break on year
I tried the compute action item but was lost.
The user may accept two separate reports by year (2007,2006) but I will need to sum the contract amount by vendor and then I'll need a grand total.
Is either way possible with IRR?
Thanks So much
Moe

Thank You for your reply
We are trying to make it easier for the user to generate these reports on demand. Once the IRR report is done it will be downloaded to pdf so the totals will need to be part of that report.
As basic example, the user chose contracts awarded to vendors for the year 2006 only by using a filter. ( no compare) They would expect to see a subtotal of the contracts by vendor
Vendor: Acme (break on vendor)
contract1 500.
contract2 500.
Total of contracts to Acme = $1,000
Vendor Genx
contract12 500
contract13 500
Total of contract to Genx = $1,000
Grand Total of contracts awarded for 2006 = $2,000.00
Then I thought the user could use the save report feature to save the one for 2006 and create another one same format for 2007 and use that to compare years.
If I'm missing the obvious I apologize
Moe

  • Bug? Interactive Report - Help not Translated

    Hi,
    I translated all Text Messages regarding Interactive Report, but Help (popup window) is still in English. Everything else is translated.
    Is this a Bug, or am I missing something?
    Best Regards,
    Hrvoje.

    Hi Joel,
    I played a bit more with the IR, as this is one of the most important additions to 3.1.
    I have to say that even with the bug in the help windows, which will be fixed, as you said, in 3.1.1, the APEX team did a tremendous job with the translation options of this new feature, and you can see that a lot of work has been done to allow us to translate every aspect of the IR region, thus utilizing this great feature in all the other languages APEX is supporting. I was especially pleased to find out that even the CSS relevant selectors of the help window, are part of an external file, which allow me, very easily, to add RTL support, for example.
    I strongly believe that this approach – putting as much as possible in an external resources, and not as an internal (inline) APEX engine generated code – is the best approach, and it will help us to better use this great product.
    Thanks,
    Arie.

  • Translation of Interactive Report (IR ignores translated help messages)

    Hi
    I've spend my time translating all 242 IR messages to Dutch and loaded them into my app.
    All seemed well. The IR is completely Dutch now. However when I choose help from the Action Menu the help text remains English. I really did translate all this help to. Why doesn't it use the translated text?
    The translations have been properly loaded as I can see them when I execute
    select *
    from flows_WWV_FLOW_MESSAGES$
    where flow_id = :APP_ID
    So I'm puzzled why is it picking up every piece of translation except for the help translations? Is this a bug?
    Anyone any experience

    Hi Geert,
    This is Bug 7001615 - fixed in the APEX 3.1.1 patch set, which is available now.

  • 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.
    Vojin

    @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... :')

  • Interactive Report Filter Expression

    I am a (new) user not a developer.
    The Apex developer has presented me with a web page containing an Interactive Report interface.
    I seem to be managing just fine, for the most part, except to make a filter with multiple OR statements.
    I can easily make multiple AND statements.
    Is there some trick or special way to write the filter statement (OR is this just not possible with Interactive Report - excuse the pun)
    Please help, the developer is stumped!

    I don't think it's possible (someone can correct me if I am wrong) in 3.2.x, but certainly possible in version 4.
    Taken from the Interactive Report help page:
    FilterFocuses the report by adding or modifying the WHERE clause on the query. You can filter on a column or by row.
    If you filter by column, select a column (it does not need to be one that displays), select a standard Oracle operator (=, !=, not in, between), and enter an expression to compare against. Expressions are case sensitive. Use % as a wild card (for example, STATE_NAME like A%).
    If you filter by row, you can create complex WHERE clauses using column aliases and any Oracle functions or operators (for example, G = 'VA' or G = 'CT', where G is the alias for CUSTOMER_STATE).>

  • Help with Aggregate on Interactive Report

    I have a field that is a number but I need to convert to show as a percentage (i.e. 17.4%) in the interactive report. At the same time I need to be able to do an Aggregate on this field so I know it needs to stay a numeric and I can't convert in the SQL. Is there a way to use the number format mask on the column to add the percentage or another way that will allow me to still perform aggregates?

    Thanks for your help.

    Anyone have any suggestions?

  • Help on print button for interactive report

    Hi,
    I have created an interactive report and have also added a print button on the button of the report (unfortunately forgot how I did it). Say my column on the reports was Col_No, Col_First_name, Col_Last_name and a print button when I pressed a would get to choose open or save a pdf file, if I opened or saved it, I would had the same info on my pdf report as above.
    Since I have changed the column order meaning I have Col_No, Col_Last_name, Col_Start_Date, Col_First_name and that is working fine but when I click on the print button I will get the pervious columns.
    I noticed I have created a branches to print the report, basically after processing, when button was pressed an action with f?p=&APP_ID.:0:&SESSION.:PRINT_REPORT=6259824360775969936:&DEBUG.::: is present.
    I need help to fix this and I do very much appreciate any help or suggestions
    -regards

  • Bringing up the help popup in an interactive report

    The gear dropdown on an interactive search, has a help, that when clicked on would bring up a popup explaining the icons of the gear search.
    I created a button and trying to bring up this help when the user clicks on it.
    How would I go about doing this?
    Thanks.

    Lloyd,
    An interactive report is also known as a worksheet. Each interactive report region has a unique ID. That ID is needed as a parameter in the URL to generate the help page.
    On second thought, try the following which should not need a page item:
    javascript:html_PopUp('wwv_flow_utilities.show_ir_help?p_app_id=' + $x('pFlowId').value + '&p_worksheet_id=' + $x('apexir_WORKSHEET_ID').value + '&p_lang=en-us');Regards,

  • Need Help calling Dynamic Action from Link in Interactive Report

    Hello I have an Interactive Report. I would like to have a Dynamic Action called when the user selects a row (Clicks a Link).
    I am running Application Express 4.0.2.00.07 on Oracle 11gR1.
    Any help would be great.

    Hi VANJ,
    Sorry for the poorly written original post. I will be much more specific.
    I have a Interactive Report on page 40. That report has a column named X_UID that is a link back to page 40 and sets a text item named P40_X_UID in a Region we will call "Form X" with the value of the column. That page refresh also then calls a Automated Row Fetch process to fetch all the values needed for the rest of the page items in the "Form X" region. Also "Form X" region has a conditional display on to only display when P40_X_UID is not null.
    What I would like to do:
    When the user clicks on link in the IR for X_UID instead of the "Form X" region becoming visible I would like to become modal. I am trying to use a Plug-In named "ClariFit Simple Modal - Show". I have it working with a Dynamic Action when you click a Page Item. But I would like to to work when the link is clicked and the data populated.
    I hope that helps some.

  • Help requested on Interactive Reporting

    Hi Friends,
    I am new to Interactive Reporting. I have followed the best practice document for interactive reporting (C41) and have configured the intercative reports. But when I am trying to execute the report 'Accounts with open acvtivities' I am getting the below error
    Filter on status value RELEASED could not be converted and was not applied
    Filter on status value PLANNED could not be converted and was not applied
    Please help me with the solution for this issue. Your help would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Jai

    Hi!
    Please note that status common is language dependent, i.e. all texts for Status Profile and Status values have to be available in translated form. Further, it is a general precondition for use of the Status Common concept that the user status texts are consistent across all supported languages. This means following:
    If two different combinations of status profile and status have an equal text for some language, then they also have to have an equal text for all other languages. Thereby a difference with respect to upper and lower case letters is tolerated.
    Example
    In following example of English and German status texts, the German text of status E0002 of profile CRMOPPCP is not consistent, as it differs from the text of status E0002 of profile CRMOPPOR. However, the English texts of these combinations of profile and status are equal.
    Profile      Status     Text
    CRMOPPOR     E0002      In process
    CRMDRGP      E0001      In Process
    CRMOPPCP     E0002      In Process
    DRDWOPPH     E0002      In Process
    Profile      Status     Text
    CRMOPPOR     E0002      In Bearbeitung
    CRMDRGP      E0001      In Bearbeitung
    CRMOPPCP     E0002      Offen
    DRDWOPPH     E0002      In Bearbeitung
    Without this precondition, a filter on status common may lead to undefined results between different languages.

  • HELP: Column not shown in Interactive Report

    I have an Interactive Report setup, I have added a new column to the report.
    But the new column doesn't show by default, for anyone to view this new column they need to use the GUI click the gear... and then click columns and add the column to the view.
    I noticed that "default report settings" under "interactive report attributes" the new column isnt listed in "Selected Columns section"
    is that the problem? how do I update this list without rebuilding the report from scratch.
    Thanks Jade

    sure, so there actuall instructions in the item half way down the page of the item configuration.
    anyways so what you do it log into the application as the devloper login, so if you have a custon autorisation scheme you will need to set it back to apex, then when your logged in to you app... goto the page with the report, click the cog icon and there is a selext/adjust columns option... when you have finished click cog and save report... you will have an option to save as default... when you save the report your done, and all users will see you changed, remeber to change autorisation back to you custom one if you changed it.
    sorry im on my phone so spelling is prob bad and I dont have apex handy so I have to do it from memory. :)
    thanks jade, hope this helps... should work mint... ask again if you have problem's and I will update this when I have a pc and apex around.

  • Help - How to colour columns in interactive reports

    Hi,
    How do I colour columns in an interactive report ?
    I have created a solution to help student explore the many thousands of courses in the UK - with the results showing in an interactive report:
    https://production001-demandanalysis.db.em1.oraclecloudapps.com/apex/f?p=20300118:1
    (To get to results, interactive report, click a subject and then pick a subject from the course cloud.)
    What I want to achieve is the colouring of the columns - as currently shown - but programatically - without the user being able to see all the highlights I had to enter to achieve this.
    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Steve
    Apex version 4.2.2

    U can change the sql code for report in following way to color column.
    select
    AFFIRMATION_STATUS as AFFIRMATION_STATUS ,
    AFFIRMATION_DATE as AFFIRMATION_DATE,
    case when AFFIRMATION_STATUS = 'Affirmed' then 'green'
          when AFFIRMATION_STATUS = 'Rejected' then 'red'
        end the_color
    from MAIN_INTERFACE
    so it will generate a report with three columns viz affirmation_status and affirmation_date and the_color . Now open the_color column in report attribute tab.In column formating put "<span style="color:#THE_COLOR#;font-weight:bold;">#AFFIRMATION_DATE#</span>". If value of affirmation_status is affirmed then affirmation_date's value will come in greeen color. If its rejected , it will come in red color.

  • Interactive Report Link Column HELP FROM GURUS requested

    Hi,
    I have an interactive report the data of which returns a file name for an image. I would like to use the Link Column (Link to Custom Target) option. The column in my underlying query has the image file name #ILINK#.
    The Target URL is correctly formed using the #ILINK# bind variable http://myserver.mycompany.com/cgi-bin/oracle/img.cgi?img_file=#ILINK#;size=full
    However, for the Link Icon (which I wanted to be a dynamic thumbnail of the linked image). The #ILINK# bind variable is not read. Is this because the Link Icon cannot be dynamically determined and must always be the same image?
    I can get this working as a regular report using HTML expression, but I really wanted to harness the power of an interactive report.
    Thanks

    Hi,
    in this case you could build the required html-tags in your SELECT statement, like this:
    SELECT EMPNO

         , '<a href="blablabla/index"><img src="'||ENAME||'.gif">'||ENAME||'</a>' AS ENAME_LINK
