Multiple column in LOV

Dear community,
I have been struggling with the issue that Apex wont allow me to display more than 1 value/column in a LOV/select-list.
Is there a fix or workaround for that? I have been searching all over the internet, landed on a webpage with jQuery but I have no idea how to execute since I am a beginner at apex.
Situation:
I have a table with students containing columns: studentnumber, name, lastname.
I want to create a LOV displaying all the 3 columns and return with studentnumber.
what I tried in sql:
select studentnumber, name, lastname as display_value, studentnumber as return_value
from students
order by 1
But failed since you can give only 1 value @ display_value ( I gave 3 ).
Thanks!

Does anyone know how to get a set number of blanks to display in between the columns using the concatenated sql above.
The Code value and Description values don't line up from row to row.
I am using similar sql as above doing a simple Department/Department Description selection and it looks bad when the department code and department description have only one or no spaces between them. It appears that extra spaces are removed and not shown. For example the Dept Code is defined as length VARCHAR2(7) however some of the data values are only 4 and no matter how I try to add extra spaces the description is not moved out and therefore not lined up from row to row.
I've tried adding extra spaces in the || '    ' || they seem to be removed. I've also tried using RPAD to give it extra spaces but does not work:
select rpad(dept, 12, ' ') || dept_desc as display_value,
3000 ACCRUED REVENUE
3000100 ACCRUED REVENUE
3000200 ACCRUED REVENUE
3010 ACCRUED REVENUE
3010100 ACCRUED REVENUE
301200 ACCRUED REVENUE
This is how I want it to look;
3000          ACCRUED REVENUE
3000100     ACCRUED REVENUE
3000200     ACCRUED REVENUE
3010          ACCRUED REVENUE
3010100    ACCRUED REVENUE
301200      ACCRUED REVENUE
I tried adding a character value in the RPAD to see if the RPAD works and it did work to fill in the spaces but I obviously don't want to display it that way
select rpad(dept, 12, 'X') || dept_desc as display_value,
dept as return_value
from department order by 1
3000XXXXXXXXACCRUED REVENUE
3000100XXXXXACCRUED REVENUE
3000200XXXXXACCRUED REVENUE
3010XXXXXXXXACCRUED REVENUE
3010100XXXXXACCRUED REVENUE
301200XXXXXXACCRUED REVENUE
I am using APEX 4.2 theme 24 this is in a DML form same issue with displayed as "Select List" and "Popup LOV".
Thanks for any suggestions, I checked out the Super LOV plugins from Skillbuilder , they look really cool but the appearance and style doesn't fit in with this app.

Multiple columns in LOV

I would like to display two columns when displaying a pop up LOV. First column will be the actual code (i.e. O) and the second column will be the description (i.e Open). I have changed the font to monospace and padded the first field so that the result looks like to two columns. However, if not all codes have the same number of characters I still need to pad using something other than blank. I am now using '.' and the result looks like:
O...... Open
C...... Closed
which is OK, but it will be great to simply use tabs. Any suggestions will be most appreciated.

Well, you didn't say this in your first post. Despite of that you can do something similar
to reach the same lenght for all values:
SQL> set pagesize 200
SQL> SELECT RPAD (ename, 12, '*') ename
2 FROM emp;
ENAME
KING********
BLAKE*******
CLARK*******
JONES*******
SCOTT*******
FORD********
SMITH*******
WARD********
MARTIN******
TURNER******
JAMES*******
MILLER******
12 Zeilen ausgewählt.Instead of stars, you can use blankspace.
This is a pretty trivial solution.

How to link Excel Chart with multiple columns dynamically?

Hi all,
I have one problem. I have an excel chart which has to read data from multiple columns for it's X-axis values (time stamps) and the same number of values for it's Y-axis from multiple columns. See figure attached.
Now, you can do this by manually assigning values by holding control key to tell the chart that data from many columns is continued from the first column. i.e, a long data is distributed along may columns. This is done very easily manually.
Now, how to do it at runtime through LabVIEW 8.0?
Although, I have done it through labview when there where only two columns, A and B streching up to any length. But, now to save space we are dumping into many columns in the same page and want the chart plot that data as we dump it.
It is tough since I don't know how to assign SourceData of the chart through labview.
I have attached chart's SourceData picture.
Hope you all can solve my problem.
The Y-axis values are: =(good!$B$30:$B$70,good!$D$30:$D$70,good!$F$30:$F$70,good!$H$30:$H$70,good!$B$71:$B$140,good!$D$71:$D$140,good!$F$71:$F$140,good!$H$71:$H$140,good!$B$141:$B$189)
good is the name of the file.
The X- axis values are: =(good!$A$30:$A$70,good!$C$30:$C$70,good!$E$30:$E$70,good!$G$30:$G$70,good!$A$71:$A$140,good!$C$71:$C$140,good!$E$71:$E$140,good!$G$71:$G$140,good!$A$141:$A$189)
See the columns vary from A to F.
I have still not got what I love.....

How can I display multiple column results of a sql query?

I'm wanting to display the results of a query selecting from multiple columns, but I can't seem to find an item type that will allow this. I've tried LOV, multiselect, display as text and others. Any ideas on how to do this. Here is my basic query:
Select ul.meaning,
rqa.submission_date,
rqa.location_num
from
cfa_rqa_doc_submit_dates rqa,
cfa_user_lookups ul
where
rqa.location_num in (Select location_num from cfa_current_locations_mv
where operator_person_id = :P1_PERSON_ID and substr(location_num,1,1) = '8')
and
ul.lookup_type_id='1269'
and
to_char(rqa.submission_date, 'month') = to_char(sysdate, 'month')
and
rqa.submission_date >= (SYSDATE-365)
and ul.lookup_ID= rqa.document_type_id
;

Hi,
Do you just wish to display the result of the query? If so, you can simply parse it out in HTML.
You can then choose if you want to use tables or css.
Multiple column layout in tables are based on <tr> and <td>.
<tr> is a table row, where <td> is a column.
All tags should be closed.
Example:
<table>
<tr>
<td>col1</td><td>col2</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">spans over 2 cols</td>
</tr>
</table>If you want to do the same in css:
(Seems this forum removes the styles!):
float:left; width:50; << first div and 2 div (col 1 and col 2 style)
float:left;clear:both; width:100%; << clear both, double width (spans over 2)
<div>
<div style="float:left; width:50;">col1</div><div style="float:left;width:50%;">col2</div>
<div style="float:left;clear:both; width=100%;">Spans over 2 cols</div>
</div>The div might look more complicated, but if you refrain from styling in the tags them selves, you can define different styles in the .css file.
You need the clear:both to start a new line with the divs that float.
I usually run a dedicated "new line" div, without content.. (exception beeing the html-entities version of ' ' (& nbsp ; << without the spaces)).
eg.:
<div style="cls"> </div>Parsing out the values from the PL SQL you do like so:
begin
declare
cursor c_search is
Select ul.meaning,
rqa.submission_date,
rqa.location_num
from
cfa_rqa_doc_submit_dates rqa,
cfa_user_lookups ul
where
rqa.location_num in (Select location_num from cfa_current_locations_mv
where operator_person_id = :P1_PERSON_ID and substr(location_num,1,1) = '8')
and
ul.lookup_type_id='1269'
and
to_char(rqa.submission_date, 'month') = to_char(sysdate, 'month')
and
rqa.submission_date >= (SYSDATE-365)
and ul.lookup_ID= rqa.document_type_id
begin
htp.p('<div style="width:80%;">');
for v_search in c_search loop
htp.p('<div style="float:left;clear:none;">'||v_search.location_num||'</div>');
htp.p('<div style="float:left;clear:none;">'||v_search.submission_date||'</div>');
end loop;
htp.p('</div>');
end;
end;Ps. hope I understood you correctly, also this code is untested.. but I hope it can still help.

Select list with multiple columns

I want to create a select list with multiple column option. What are the options. Any developments in apex 3.0.1 ? Thanks in advance. I tried the tutorials by Kubicek.
I am kind of stuck to see the function entry inside LOV definition returns a error.

Still really one column.
If they need to be independent then you've got to have three selection lists.

GROUP BY with multiple columns.

I have little query about GROUP BY clause.
Sometimes we will give multiple column names in GROUP BY .If it behaves in the same way as ORDER BY (multiple columns) i would love to have an example where I can use GROUP BY multiple columns. Anyways howsoever it behaves it will be really appreciated if anyone can explain a scenario where GROUP BY with multiple columns can be used.
I know about the usage of aggregate functions with GROUP BY but using only one column.
Thanks..!!!

Hi,
Group by is used for grouping of same records. check this bellow scenario
SELECT registrationid, dateofbirth, age FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22;
22     1/23/1975     54
22     5/18/2011     66

22     5/18/2011     66
22     5/18/2011     66SELECT registrationid, sum(age) FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22 GROUP BY registrationid;
22     384SELECT registrationid, dateofbirth, sum(age) FROM prawin62 WHERE registrationid = 22 GROUP BY registrationid, dateofbirth ;

Comparison of multiple column values with a single column value

I have two separate tables say Tab1 and Tab2
I want to select some datas , which is common to both the tables.
In tab1 , there is a column 'STATE' and it's value is 'A'
In tab2, there are multiple columns for the state, say STATE_A,STATE_B, STATE_C ETC and a row is present with the following details
STATE_A = 1, STATE_B =1 ,STATE_C =0,STATE_D=1
I need to select STATE when STATE_A ='1',
if my STATE='B', this STATE has to be selected since STATE_B =' 1', similraly
if my STATE='D', this STATE has to be selected since STATE_D =' 1',
If my STATE='C', STATE_C should not get selected since it's '0'.
Is it possible to do this in a single SELECT statement, where I have some other checks also or else how can I achieve it?

Maybe this will help
Select * from STATE_MAS ;
STATE
A
B
D
F
H
Select * from STATE_CHILD
STATE_A STATE_B STATE_C STATE_D STATE_E STATE_F STATE_G STATE_H STATE_I STATE_J
1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GET_STATE (P_VAL VARCHAR) RETURN NUMBER IS
V_SQL VARCHAR2(200);
V_COL VARCHAR2(35);
P_RETURN NUMBER ;
BEGIN
V_COL := 'STATE_'||P_VAL;
V_SQL := 'SELECT 1 FROM STATE_CHILD WHERE '||V_COL||' = 1 ';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE V_SQL INTO P_RETURN ;
RETURN P_RETURN ;
END;
SELECT STATE FROM STATE_MAS
WHERE GET_STATE(STATE) = 1 ;

JTextAreaCellRenderer to wrap text in multiple columns... any better way?

I would like to use a basic JTextArea cell renderer to wrap the text in a JTable cell, like in this thread
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=664671&messageID=3893724
Although the technique works, a disadvantage is that it cannot be used "as is" for multiple columns due to the setRowHeight/revalidate issue. One suggested workaround was to keep track of the maximum row height, as described here:
http://www.javaspecialists.co.za/archive/newsletter.do?issue=106
Both seem a bit rough. Are there any other options or more efficient techniques for automatically wrapping text in a JTable cell?

Hello, did you search online? there are many tutorials like this one: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photoshop-text/text-effects/text-wrap/
You simply create a path, substract the parts you do not need, then click with the text tool inside.
Note that it is not a dynamic text wrap, you need to change it if you move the objects around.

Crystal Report multiple columns

I'm having trouble with Crystal Report's multiple columns in the detail section.
The details section, the multiple columns is checked then the printing direction is across - down. Since the form I am using is a pre-printed form, by estimation it can only allow at best 30 records in one page, that is 15 in the 1st half of the column and another 15 records on the next. For visual:
Invoice No    Invoice Date        invoice total                                               Invoice No    Invoice Date        invoice total
1                                                                                16
2                                                                                17
3                                                                                .
.                                                                                28
14                                                                                29
15                                                                                30
For some reason there is this giant space after the last set of rows before it prints out the page footer. This giant blank section disrupts the layout of the page footer section.
Here are some info on the details section as configuration is involved:
Format with Multiple Columns - checked
In Paging: New Page after 30 visible Records
In Layout: Width: 3.5 in       Height: 0.0 in
                 Horizontal: 0.0 in      Vertical: 0.0 in
Printing Direction: Across-Down
Anyone knows how to suppress it or have the page footer move upwards?
P.S To see actual pre-printed form, please download this [http://www.mediafire.com/i/?csu0q75mjynys2k]
Edited by: Khristine Angelei Basilla on Mar 1, 2012 8:34 AM

Now why didn't I try that out. Actually, initial plan was 2 subreports.
So when I added the second subreport in the group footer section, it only prints the details on the last page, which should not be the case as I need to be printed on all pages.
I'll test it out. I'll post an update soon.
Thanks.

Format on multiple columns issue ...

I'm having issues with the way the data is displaying.I am using the Format Multiple Columns.I have 3 across set.I have the Down and Across checked.My report with the 3 columns is a custom labels sheet.I need to have the down part always be 8 columns.i can't set that anywhere like the 3 columns across.as the sheet used to print the info are labels and perforated for each label (column)I have the following:1.
Group Header #1 on InvoiceNumber. This have my invoice header
information related to the customer of the invoice. Keep Together
selected.2. Group Header #2 on a formula {@sort}. This is suppressed and as a {@reset} formula in it.3. Details section has {@accum} and section suppressed. Keep Together selected.4. Group Footer #2 as the {@display} formula with Paragraph Formatting. Keep Together selected.5. Group Footer #1 on InvoiceNumber has add'l customer related info for the invoice.so 5 sections in my design view with 2 groups.It'll display the information in InvoiceNumber order in ascending order down first.But the last one on the 1st column is only part of the invoice info and the rest of it starts from the top of the 2nd column.and
then shifts all the columns according to that. Which of course then
does not print on the allotted space of the actual label. part of info
is on one and the rest on another.obviously this won't work. I think i tried everything I can think of and I'm not expert. Barely a novice at this.any help would be appreciated!

I am unable to sort multiple columns in a table created in Pages.

I had been using Appleworks up until I installed Lion and have now switched to iWork. I created a table within a Pages document and am able to sort a single column (using the Table Inspector and choosing Sort from Edit Rows and Columns) but the Sort option is grayed out when I attempt to sort multiple columns.
In another post, someone talked about this being a problem if you have merged fields. I do not believe I have done this (to be honest I don't know the function of merging fields).
This is very frustrating as I was easily able to sort these tables in Appleworks.

Not so. In the lower left corner of the window, there's an icon that looks like a piece of paper. If you see this:
you are in Sheet View, or normal, mode. If you see this:
You are in Print View mode. Now you see the icons for portrait and landscape modes. Click your choice. Then arrange your content to fit the pages as you wish.

Master-detail list - how to spread over multiple columns

I am using the master-detail functionality to create a image viewer.
I have a long list of master thumbnails, and rather than having them go down the page in one column, I would like to make them spread over 2 or 3 columns before the detail column.
(example of format I am trying to achieve - http://www.franbainbridgephotography.com.au/gallery.html (I dont mind whether master thumbnails are on right or left of detail photo))
You can see my problem on http://www.wcwra.com/webpages/images.php
Is this possible with the master-detail functionality?
Thank you!

The brilliant David Powers has fixed this for me on the main forum (vw2ureg was v close). David's answer is :
There is no way of making a single dataset repeat in multiple columns, because it's simply one element being repeated over and over.
However, with a little out of the box thinking, you can do it quite easily with thumbnails. Instead of putting the master column repeat region in a block level element, use an inline element, <span>. Images are treated by browsers as inline elements, so this should work just fine. Change the following code from this:
<div spry:region="dsPhotos" class="MasterContainer">
    <div class="MasterColumn" spry:repeat="dsPhotos" spry:setrow="dsPhotos"
    spry:hover="MasterColumnHover" spry:select="MasterColumnSelected">{Caption}</div>
</div>
to this:
<div spry:region="dsPhotos" class="MasterContainer">
    <span class="MasterColumn" spry:repeat="dsPhotos" spry:setrow="dsPhotos"
    spry:hover="MasterColumnHover" spry:select="MasterColumnSelected">{Caption}</span>
</div>
In your CSS, set the width of the MasterColumn class to the width of your thumbnails, and the width of MasterContainer so that it's wide enough to accommodate two or more thumbnails. The thumbnails will flow into the column two or three abreast.

How to use a USER_DATASTORE to index multiple columns in different tables

I would appreciate if somebody can give an example or point to links with examples on how to use USER_DATASTORE on multiple columns in different tables. THe Oracle Text documentation only shows multiple columns in the same table.

I am not sure why your getting the wrong results but you should seriously reconsider the approach your are taking. Using functions like this is very ineffecient and should be avoided at all cost.

How do i print multiple columns on 1 page in numbers

I think I am over thinking this but I have confused myself. I am using Numbers to create a spreadsheet of family names with their corresponding number. I would like to print multiple columns of names on one page to save paper but I can't figure how to do it. Will someone please help me???

Hi BestMommy,
Here is one way. Don't mess with your database. Create a new table for printing.
Database with a Header Row (named Table 1 as an example) might look like this:
Name
1
Name 1
2
Name 2
3
Name 3
4
Name 4
5
Name 5

Name 6
7
Name 7

10
Name 10
11
Name 11

Formula in A2

Formula in B2
=Table 1::B2
Formula in C2
=Table 1::A9
Formula in D2
=Table 1::B9
So it loops back from the bottom of a page to start a new column.
I made this example small for the pics, but obviously you could have more rows and columns per page.
Having created your table for printing, select it, Cut, add a new sheet and Paste. Print just that sheet.
Have a look at 'More Like This' at the bottom of this page. Trying to format page to print table in two columns Jerry suggests using Pages instead of Numbers.

How do I create multiple columns with bullets in pages

I'm trying to figure out how to create multiple columns within a document in which I bullet information...

At the point you wish to change to two columns, Insert > Columns and then in the Layout Inspector, select the number of columns. After the insertion point, you will also need to insert another Column Change to return the following paragraphs to single column.
Then Select the text to be bulleted and in the Text Inspector > List tab select the type of bullets.
Note: This creates two columns that flow together. This can be tricky if you add any text later.
If you wish to ensure alignment, create a two column text table and remove the lines with the Graphic Inspector > Lines > No Lines option and insert your text in each column and apply the bullets as above.
This will create a text box - you then need to ensure it moves with the text by electing "Object Moves With Text" in the Wrpa Inspector.
