LPAD in RTF template of BI Publisher help

I'm trying to use the Lpad feature in hopes when I export to excel I can use calculations based on the numbers. Currently it comes in spaced poorly and will only do counts based off of the values. But I have two columns (BFY and SGL) that have a set number of characters and they allow for calculations.

it's good for ideas but implementation a bit different
Oracle Business Intelligence Publisher Report Designer's Guide
This function provides a method to get the difference between two dates in the given locale. The dates need to be in "yyyy-MM-dd" format. This function supports only the Gregorian calendar. The syntax is as follows:
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘format’, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, ‘YYYY-MM-DD’, $_XDOLOCALE, $_XDOTIMEZONE)?>
where
format is the time value for which the difference is to be calculated
Example:
<?xdoxslt:date_diff(‘d’, ‘2006-04-08’, ‘2006-04-01’, $_XDOLOCALE, ‘America/Los_Angeles’)?>
returns
-7

  • How Can I apply a RTF Function on a variable in RTF Template in XML Publisher Report

    Hi Everyone,
    I am developing a RTF Template of XML Publisher Report, I have a variable lv_counter which I can declare using below syntax
    <?xdoxslt: set_variable($_XDOCTX, 'lv_counter',0)?>
    I can access this variable in the template as <?xdoxslt: get_variable($_XDOCTX,'lv_counter')?>
    My need is to print the variable in words in the RTF Template. I am using <?xdofx: to_check_number(xdoxslt: get_variable($_XDOCTX,'lv_counter'))?>
    But this is not working. any help will be appreciated thanks in advance
    The XML Publisher Desktop version which I am using is 10.1.3.3.0

  • Creating Parameters in RTF Template for BI Publisher Report

    hi,
    I have created Parameters in my BI Publisher Report and in SQL query. But i need to create same parameters in RTF Template , so that when i publish this report in dashboard , parameters will be visible. Can you please tell me how to create Parameters in RTF Template for BI Publisher Report ? I am not finding option. Please let me know .
    Thanks in advance
    Gayathri.

    all the parameter's value will be there in your xml .
    just you need to add parameter heading and corresponding xml tag name to get the parameter value on the report.
    if u dont have you can try like below
    https://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/get_your_parameters_here_guv
    Declare Parameter in RTF Template
    Before you use the parameter in the RTF template file you need to declare it first. You can do so by having the following syntax.
    <?param@begin:%parameter_name%?>
    Note: where %parameter_name% is the parameter name that you have created at the BI Publisher Server UI.
    Here is an example:
    <?param@begin:param1?>
    Use it in RTF Template!
    Once it’s declared in the RTF template you can start using it as the same way you use the variable. You need to just add ‘$’ prefix in front of the parameter name. Here is the example:
    <?$param1?>
    The above example would print the parameter value in the report output. If you want to use this value in your condition or calculation you can simply use it as ‘$param1’. Yes, it’s that simple.
    If you are not sure if and how the parameter values are passed to the report when you run the report you can use this command in your RTF template, which will return all the parameter values passed to the RTF template at the runtime.
    <?xdoxslt:getXDOProperties($_XDOCTX)?>

  • Reseting page number in Word RTF template for BI Publisher PDF generation

    Hi!
    Apex 4.0.2, Oracle 10.2.0.4, BIP 10.2
    Bills are created based on Word RTF file with BI Publisher. Reszulting file is one big PDF file, which has many pages.
    Word RTF template is grouped on BILLS.ID field with page break option. So one BILLS.ID may have one or many pages (according data).
    How to create RTF template (for PDF BI Publisher generation) with reseting page numbers when grouping value change.
    Page numbers are in footer in format
    curr_group_page/total_group_pages
    where:
    curr_group_page is current page number in group (defined with BILLS.ID field),
    total_group_pages is total page number of pages in group (defined with BILLS.ID field).
    I need to reset numbering whenever BILLS.ID (group) change.
    Example:
    ID=1 (4 pages)
    1/4, 2/4, 3/4, 4/4
    ID=2 (1 pages)
    1/1
    ID=3 (2 pages)
    1/2, 2/2
    ID=4 (3 pages)
    1/3, 2/3, 3/3
    etc.
    How to achieve that kind of numbering?
    Any help appreciated.

    Simple question.. Does your posting deal with an APEX issue or a BI Publisher issue? The posting you have deals with the RTF add-on for Word that builds report layouts for BI Publisher. I suggested in my response that you move it to a more relevant forum..
    If you feel that me alerting you to the fact your are VIOLATING forum policy is an issue, please feel free to ask others their view.. (posting to a 3 year old closed thread, creating MULTIPLE threads for a single issue..) You do NOT seem to get the idea that posting this in the Bi Publisher support forum would probably get you a BETTER response than here.. Asking pl/sql questions here will also get people to refer your questions to the PL/Sql Support forum..
    Also, here is a POSSIBLE answer from the BI Publisher Forum: http://forums.oracle.com/forums/thread.jspa?threadID=594805

    You know, I used to think that it was awful that life was so unfair.

  • Round Edged boxes in rtf templates

    Hi all,
    I have been really struggling to design rtf templates for XML Publisher with round edged boxes.
    The client requirement is to have all the tables/objects that contain data to have rounded edges..Just like a flowchart box..
    I have tried using the flowchart box, but when I increase the height/width of the object, the radius of the actual round edge object increases, thus distorting the entire look of the template.
    Can anyone give me some pointers on how I can overcome this issue using rtf templates.
    I would have gladly done this as a PDF template, but for the issue with lack of support for conditional logic.
    Any help will be truly appreciated
    Thanks,

    Hey Chrissy... i am realy sorry, i have guided u in the wrong way...
    Above which i have explained was about Variable....
    To test passing a parameter value, ff you are using the:
    XML Publisher Runner – on the Setting tab enter a new line containing:
    Name: xslt. InvThresh
    Value: 1000
    Template Builder
    In the config file under <<TEMPLATE_BUILDER_HOME>>/config enter under the Properties section:

  • Multiple PS Query Data Sources in RTF Template

    Is it possible to use two PS Queries as Data Sources on an RTF template in XML Publisher?
    There is a field in the main Data Source (PS Query) that needs to join to some other tables. This slows down the query considerably even after tweaking the join and tuning, etc. Instead of doing the join in the main PS Query Data Source, can we do any of these?
    1. Do a select statement inside an RTF template Form Field?
    2. Use two PS Queries on the same RTF template?
    3. Import a sub template that uses its own PS Query Data Source for the field?
    Hope this makes sense. Thank you.

    You can have multiple data models and then use the 'concatenated SQL data source' to generate a single xml file that includes data based on both queries. You can not do a select statement inside a RTF template.
    Within the RTF template you can write logic to join the two data sets... see this blog post:http://blogs.oracle.com/xmlpublisher/entry/formatting_concatenated_dataso

    Hello KSS,
    ) Page number must be displayed at the bottom of each printed page.
    For this select the Insert-->Page Numbers and say position as bottom of the page.
    2) Report should be landscape oriented.
    Select File-->Pagesetup here select the oreintation as Landscape.
    3) Column headers must display on each printed page of the report
    You might have defined a table and included the desired values
    Select the table properties and go to the Row tab there check the option "Repeat as Header row at the top of each page"
    Kind Regards,
    Kumar.
