Merging cells for each row possible?

Hi,
I'm trying to merge two columns together (First name and Surname) so that the values are together i.e.
A1 with A2
B1 with B2 etc.
Is there a way to do it all in one go so I don't need to go through each row manually? There are around 4000 entries, so I hope so!
Thanks for any help,
osu

osu,
You can do this by writing an expression in a third column. So, A & B will be joined in, for instance, C.
This can be done either with the concatenation operator, "&", or with the CONCATENATE function.
Writing =A&B will do it literally as you have requested. Most people would want a space between the two. You can do that with: =A&" "&B.
After writing that in C1, click back on C1 and Edit > Copy. Then click on the "C" label above C1 to select the entire column. Now Edit > Paste to fill the rest of column with your expression.
Be prepared to wait awhile for it to calculate because 3000 rows is a large file for Numbers. A "spinning ball of hard work" may be present for some time before you see the results.
Let us know how that goes for you.

SQL merge and after insert or update on ... for each row fires too often?

Hello,
there is a base table, which has a companion history table
- lets say USER_DATA & USER_DATA_HIST.
For each update on USER_DATA there has to be recorded the old condition of the USER_DATA record into the USER_DATA_HIST (insert new record)
- to have the history of changes to USER_DATA.
The first approach was to do the insert for the row trigger:
trigger user_data_tr_aiu after insert or update on user_data for each rowBut the performance was bad, because for a bulk update to USER_DATA, there have been individual inserts per records.
So i tried a trick:
Instead of doing the real insert into USER_DATA_HIST, i collect the USER_DATA_HIST data into a pl/sql collection first.
And later i do a bulk insert for the collection in the USER_DATA_HIST table with stmt trigger:
trigger user_data_tr_ra after insert or update on user_dataBut sometimes i recognize, that the list of entries saved in the pl/sql collection are more than my USER_DATA records being updated.
(BTW, for the update i use SQL merge, because it's driven by another table.)
As there is a uniq tracking_id in USER_DATA record, i could identify, that there are duplicates.
If i sort for the tracking_id and remove duplicate i get exactly the #no of records updated by the SQL merge.
So how comes, that there are duplicates?
I can try to make a sample 'sqlplus' program, but it will take some time.
But maybe somebody knows already about some issues here(?!)
- many thanks!
best regards,
Frank

Merge cells between 2 rows in a smart form(template)

Hi ,
I need to merge two cells between 2 rows of a template.
Like the first cell is a big one 10cm height and has two adjacent 5cm cells beside it.
Can anyone tell me if this is possible.And if Yes ,How?
Merging cells between columns work,but i am not able to do it betweeen two rows.
I had some Options that i treid and ruled out are
Since it is flowing data i cant use multiple windows and so the template needs to be in my mainwindow.
I cant use multiple main windows also .
This merging doesnt work in table also.
Regrads,
Sai.

Well I dont know if i am not clear in my question.
Let me articulate.
It not the conditional display of rows taht i want to acheive.
Its merging cells between two rows.
Like say first a cell of height 10 cm shoudl filled with text (say 'AB')spanning full 10 cm.
And then adjacent to this 10cm cell , there shoud be two cells of say 5cm one below each other
with say 'A' on the top cell and 'B' on the bottom cell.
So you have one big 'AB' (10cm cell) and then beside this you have ' A' and 'B' one below each other.
Like shown below the Bold 'AB' spans 10 cm from top to bottom ,beside this AB is A in the top 5cm cell and
B in the bottom 5 cm cell.
ABA
B

Sai.

Prompting user for input for each row in the report

Is it possible to have a user entered field for each row in a report ?
ie. have a report with empolyee number, employee name, title, salary, and comment. Select of of these columns from the SQL query except for the comment, and then when the report is generated have the user be prompted for what the want the comment to be for every employee in the report?

That is, have the user generating the report enter in a different comment for EACH employee. (ie Joe Smith's comment is "good worker and John Smith's comment is "come to work late on Tuesdays and Thursdays", Sally Jones' comment is "Expert in C++" etc.) as the reports is being built for each row returned from the query.

For each row of a table call a pl/sql function

Hi,
i have a search form in adf like this:
parameter1:___
parameter2:____
buttonSearch
Table with results
field1 field2 field3
row1 ------ --------- -------
row2 ------ --------- -------
row3 ------ --------- -------
The user inputs the parameters 1 and 2 then press buttonSearch and the query execute and returns rows 1 to 3.
What i need is for each row call pl/sql function and passed the parameter 1 and 2 and field 1 to 3 (plsql function recives 5 parameters (parameter1, parameter2, field1 , field2 and field3) )
my buttonSearch call a java class that execute ExecuteWithParamters method.
I create the call to my plsql function on Application module class and then export as a java interface.
So i have the function to use in the viewcontroller layer, but i don't know where to use it, and how to pass the paramters: the parameter 1 and 2 that user inputs and the row fields.....
any ideas....
thanks!!

Hi,
for this you need to call the PLSQL function upon table rendering, which means that you need a field in the table referencing a managed bean. In the managed bean you can use #{row} and resolve it using a ValueExpression. #{row} gives you access to the current rendered row (this is why you need to do it when the table renders) and thus allows you to call getAttribute(name) to get the values of field 1 - 3. The search field value you should get through the bindings reference (assuming the search form uses ADF). Then you create an operation binding for the executeWithParameters and call operationBindingName.getParamsMap().put(argname, argvalue); on it.
Frank
Ps.: I am concerned about the performance you get and wonder if it isn't possible to create a transient attribute that executes the function and displays the results. As I understand, the search parameters are only to filter the result set, which you still can do

Make select for each row - another solution?

For example I have a function with day before selection:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
function ABS return boolean is
ret number(10,2);
begin
for sab in (select saldod from ndv_ccli, nd_clientes where
(:p_dtvenc-dtdoc) = (select min(:p_dtvenc-dtdoc) from ndv_ccli, nd_clientes
where (:p_dtvenc-dtdoc>0)and
ndv_ccli.cod_cli = cod_cli) and
ndv_ccli.cod_cli = cod_cli order by dtdoc desc,cddb )
loop
ret := sab.saldod;
end loop;
return (ret);
end;
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
In report I use the value of this function(a) in another function(b) to sum with few values.
Output of function(b) has a lot of rows and for each row it makes select in function(a) to find the value, but actualy it is the same. Is it possible to do this select only one time and then put in function(b) only it's value? Because it makes report too slow...
tnx before

Thanx, but while compiling it says:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
REP-0749: After form trigger cannot reference a report column.

Different values in a list box for each row of the table control...

Dear Experts,
Is it possible to populate different values for each row in a listbox inside a table control ?
Example,
Row 1 in the the table contains A, B & C
Row 2 in the same table contains C, D & E
If yes, How?
yes i am using
call function 'VRM_SET_VALUES'
    exporting
      id     = i_name
      values = i_list.
Thank you .

ENDIF.
To fill it with data from DB, just do select in INITIALIZATION and put that values with same alghoritmus.

P.S.: This is very easy question, you should use search ...

Formula Variable for Each Row

Is there any way to make the formula variable take different values for different rows in a given report? Our requirement is that each sales division in US will be approved of a certain percentage of rebate that it can use. In the report one should see the net sales value after considering the % rebate. For e.g., US has East, West, South, Central and Midwest Sales Divisions. There are 5 product lines, prod1 to prod5. The client will maintain a Z table for all the combinations of Sales division and Product line (i.e., East & prod1 - 10%, East & prod2 - 3%... Midwest & prod5 - 5%). Actual sales done in each sales division will not have these rebates considered. So at the corporate level when the report is executed, the query should be able to apply the corresponding values to the actual sales. Is it possible with BEx? As far as I know, the user exit is not executed for each row. Hope I was lucid enough to explain the problem at hand and if anyone has any effective ideas on this issue, please post your thoughts here. Thanks a ton in advance.
IS

Hi,
I doubt that you'll be able to do it in BEx.
The easiest way is to include a rebate into your infoprovider.
Best regards,
Eugene

Raise expection for each row if returned set contains x

Hello Guys,
I have the following code and almost gave up on the idea to raise an exception and print
a line for each row where the sales price is < 10. I know how this works with a CURSOR but I want to try it without it. Thinking about it let me to the conclusion that this is not possible to act on individual row results on a set based operation. I will have to use a CURSOR (not set based so I can look at each row).
Am I thinking correctly?

Hi 3360,
I am using PL/SQL. I can make my point without any code.
The question, in a different format is this:
Can I throw an whatever exception (or dbms_output put line) for individual rows WITHOUT using a cursor.
My answer (and I just need clarification on this):
*(1)* No, because anything apart from a cursor is set-based and set-based operations (select, join, union)
can not through exceptions on individual rows.
*(2)* Yes, you can have a DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE with whatever exception on a set based operation
for each individual row that causes the exception (I dont think this answer is true :)
@Agustin UN, thanks for that. I know that is possible :) The problem is,
that I dont think I can print or fetch each individual row that causes the "exception" since
it is treated as a set. - I am welcome for someone to tell me that it work nevertheless

Check Box for each row in report -- all rows deleting when pressing DELETE

Hello experts! I have set up a report with a check box for each row. When I click the DELETE button to delete the selected rows, every single one of the rows get deleted...even the ones that are not selected. I have my process point set to "On Submit - After computations and validations".
This is my delete process (SHG is the table and SHG_ID is the primary key):
FOR i in 1..HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01.count
LOOP
DELETE FROM SHG
WHERE SHG_ID = HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F01(i);
END LOOP;
Also, I've added to query in the region source this line:
htmldb_item.checkbox(1, SHG_ID) del,
Where does the "1" come into this? Not sure what I am doing wrong!

The 1 (first argument to all the htmldb_item.* APIs) corresponds to the array number in htmldb_application.g_fNN. So 1 will populate array g_f01, 2 will populate g_f02 and so on.
Your code seems fine, it should delete only the checked rows. Are you sure there is no other process on the page that might be deleting the rows? See if you can put up an example on htmldb.oracle.com

How to process a block for each row in an internal table....

Hi experts....
In po approval workflow the scenario is like this.... for each po there may be more than one approver. approvers list i am maintaining in the ztable. list of approvers(no of approvers) is decided by the po value. I have collected these approvers into internal table. now i have to process a block ( approving or rejecting the po... )in the workflow for each row in the internal table.
how can i do this. based on the decision of the 1st approver approves the po then it should go to next approver in the internal table...otherwise end the workflow.....
Please help me......

i have created an internal table in the workflow container in which i am getting the list of approvers....
how can i loop the internal table in the workflow...?
how can i know the index of the loop in the workflow.....(will sy-index work here....? so that i can use loop until step in the main workflow to call the subworkflow..so that if sy-index is greater than no of entires in the itab then i can come out of the loop)

Get the Count for each row

I'm trying to get the count for each row to total count for each month
Something like this
Hardware | Jan
Monitors | 5
Processors | 137
Printers | 57
etc........
How can I write a query for this. I can get the Hardware column but don't know how to get the next column.

If you can provide more data like sample input DML statements it would have been wonderful..
Assuming is , you need a pivot. Here is an article on basic Pivot..
http://sqlsaga.com/sql-server/how-to-use-pivot-to-transform-rows-into-columns-in-sql-server/
something like this may be..
DECLARE @Input TABLE
Hardware VARCHAR(20),
[Date] VARCHAR(20)
INSERT INTO @Input VALUES('Monitor', '01/01/2014'), ('CPU', '01/01/2014'), ('Monitor', '01/03/2014')
, ('ABC', '01/01/2014'),('Monitor', '02/01/2014')
;WITH CTE AS
SELECT Hardware, LEFT(DATENAME(M, [Date]),3) AS [MonthName] FROM @Input
SELECT *
FROM
SELECT Hardware, [MonthName], COUNT(Hardware) AS Count FROM CTE GROUP BY Hardware, [MonthName]) a
PIVOT (MAX([Count]) FOR [MonthName] IN ([Jan], [Feb])) pvt
Please mark as answer, if this has helped you solve the issue.

How to add a comment for each row on the output of a report?

I would like to add a comment (field) for each row on the output of report? This comment should to be saved as well. Is there a way i can do that?
Regards,
Ram

Hi Dimitri,
through the instead of trigger functionality i am able to update the view. This is view is based on different views which should be linked to a table (as you suggested) in which comments can be stored. Hower this table is empty and how to link this table with the view now? I face the following challenge.
View consists the following columns, for example
select name, sex, age from test_view
name sex age
John M 20
Anton M 30
Willy M 40
shirley F 38
sharon F 37
The report has the following output, for example
name     sex age
John     M 20
Anton     M 30
Willy M 40
Shirley F 38
Sharon F 37
Now i would like to add comment through a button.
The report layout looks like
name sex age
John M 20 <add comment button>
After submitting the <add comment button> you can enter text which deals with John
text='John doesnot like me'
Finally the report display the comment as well
name sex age
John M 20 'John doesnot like me' <update/delete comment button>
Anton M 30 <add comment button>
Willy M 40 <add comment button>
Shirley F 38 <add comment button>
Sharon F 37 <add comment button>
After submitting the <update/delete button> you can change or delete the entered text.
I hope this example clears things up.
Regards,
Ram

Drop Down List in a table - different options for each row

How can i have a drop down list in a table with different options for each row?
My requirement is this.. I want to display, say employee dtails in a table, and one column is employee hobbies, whcih can have multiple values and each employee may have a different list of hobbies. So how can we populate the drop down for each row, with different options?

Hey. Uh, this probably isn't the answer you were looking for, but it sounds like you've got a problem with your database design there. Generally speaking, your tables shouldn't have multi-valued fields, in the relational model anyway (sql). Instead, you should look at adding a separate table like EMPLOYEE_HOBBIES. Then you have a foreign key using the employees primary key as the foreign key in the employee_hobbies table, see what I mean? I might have misunderstood your explanation though, I'm not sure.
Alternatively, you could just have hobbies as a big freeform varchar field, and don't bother to make people separate their hobbies into different fields (you'd have to abandon the drop-down listbox idea in this case). If there's no really important reason to make the distinction, then it's probably easier just to not do it.

Include it as a formula column in your data model.
