PL/SQL report export to csv

Hi,
If you create a pl/sql report there is no option to create a csv. I need that functionality on my page anyway. Is there a way of programming this? Perhaps there is a export_to_csv api?

i will create my page based on a collection. Its a sort of summary report, but with an unknown number of columns.
Collection 'Dealers'
....................DealerA Dealer B Dealer C Dealer D
region1..............1..............4........... 7............2
region2............. 9........................... 5............3
the regions are rows, the number of dealers is unknown. Thats why I need to use a pl/sql report, with htp. prints (htp.tabledata etc)

Report export to csv - no data found in report

Hi all,
I've followed the steps to export my report to a csv file. In the Report Attributes, Report Export section I have:
Enable CSV output: Yes Separator: , Enclosed By:
Link Label: Export
Filename: Changes.xls
But when I open it in excel, no data found is the only test showing in cell A1.
Is there something else I need to do? I don't understand why it's not exporting my report - there is data on my screen in the report.
Thanks,
Dave

Dave,
Have a look in my blog:
http://deneskubicek.blogspot.com/2007/03/csv-export-problem.html
There is an explanation on how to avoid that.

Report Export to csv doesn't correct translate additional characters in 3.0

Hi all,
i'am using apex 3.0 and the report export build in function does not export the correct german umlaut ( "ü" is translate to "Ã¼").
My characterset are
NLS_CHARACTERSET: WE8ISO8859P1
DAD CHARACTERSET: UTF-8

Go in "Application > Shared Components > Edit Globalization Attributes > Globalization" and change "Automatic CSV encoding" to YES. Should work!

Dynamic file name for report export to csv

If "Enable CSV output" = "YES" for a report region titled "Invoices", the default file name is "Invoices.csv". If I have a parameter, Pn_MONTH, for the month (e.g. Jan 2010, Feb 2010, etc.) and the report only shows data for that month, I would like to have the resulting file named "Invoices_Jan_2010.csv".
I've tried setting the Report Export Filename to "Invoices_&Pn_MONTH..csv" and setting the region title to be "Invoices_&Pn_MONTH." but the resulting file name is coming up as "Invoices_.csv"'. I even tried "Invoices_:Pn_MONTH.csv" just to be sure but that makes it "Invoices_:Pn_MONTH.csv"'.
How can I get this to work?

This same method works for generating dynamic column headings from other page items, but I've never tried it for the download file name.That's the problem. The parameter P_MONTH is itself a page item and this is not consistent with other dynamic substitution. Looking at the page source, the export link is
f?p=102:9:8985946323211742:FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R2805111921107129_en-uswhere presumably "FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT_R2805111921107129_en-us" is an application process and "2805111921107129" is the internal id of the region. The filename is not part of the link.

Hi RH,
You can add two textbox at the top outside the tablix and using expression to get the parameter value use have selected to display in the textbox as blew:
TextBox1: =Parameters!Date.Value
TextBox2: =Parameters!To.Value
For Multiple value parameter you can use the expression like : =Join(Parameters!Date.Value,",")
You can rename the two textbox' name in the properties as "Date" and "To" then the two textboxs will display like belkow in the CSV report:
Date                 TO
01/01/2015     01/31/2015
ID   EmpFirstName    EmpLastName   Location
1      Tom                  Garry                  NY
2      John                 Graham               NJ
3      Ron                   Lorrie                 CA
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Blank report export to CSV fails

Using the latest version of Crystal Reports runtime for Java, I'm trying to export a blank report to character-separated values (CSV). The export fails when I try to call PrintOutputController.export(). Specifically, code execution appears to halt after calling export(), i.e., the call appears to do nothing but hang indefinitely, without returning anything.
Is this a bug? Since exporting a blank report to CSV would produce a zero-length text file, could it be that the SDK is waiting for some buffer to be populated, but it never is?

i just tried this in 12.2.212.x and it creates a blank csv file. How do you have ur blank blank report? A report without datasource, fields parameters or really anything or a report which gets 0 records back from DB?
Thanks

FR Report export to CSV file

Hi,
I need to export FR Report to CSV file. This is should be done on adhoc basis. For this I have created a command line scheduler. Can we export the report to external directory in CSV format rather than in HTML or pdf?
There is concept Bursting to CSV? Whether this export the data CSV file? How to use this one?
Thanks in advance...
Thanks,
Naveen Suram

I'm not sure there might be a third party tool which could help you export AUTOMATICALLY (or maybe even writing a MAXL report script)?
You can export to xls from Hyperion, but I don't believe it can be automatic or scheduled.
You have to be careful as the xls files that are created by exporting aren't really Microsoft Excel files, they are some kind of email storage containers incl. binary encoded html files as attachment. Those files are basically saved emails containing html attachments, but not plain, the attachments are binary encoded.
(I did this investigation to see if OpenOffice could open the attachments in a more readable way, but unfortunately not).

Report export (CSV) results in page not found error

Hello,
I'm having this strange error which i cannot seem to figure out. I have enabled report export through CSV in a report (report attributes). When i click the link in the report i get a page not found error (http 404). At first i thought it was a problem with the http-server. But as other applications (on different databases) don't have this problem i'm thinking it has to do with this apex-instance. Till 2 days ago it did work on this instance too.
I'm really out of ideas, so if anyone can push me in the right direction i would really appreciate!
Apex 3.2
DB 10.2.0.4
Thanks,
Patrick

Does this compare to the same as the url for your page?
Has your server changed?
Have you changed the dad file recently?
have you checked the Apache access/error logs right after the 404 error is encountered ?

Report Export 64k rows?

Is it now possible to export a report of more than 64k rows now that Excel has increase this limit? If so, how?
Thanks!

Hi,
Yes you can export more than 64k rows.
1) Create a SQL Query region and enter your SQL.
2) In Report Attributes in Maximum Row Count enter 99999999
3) In Report Export, enable CSV output

Report Export - No data when query based on Application Context

I updated my Query Region source to use a Global Application Context and now the Report Export (to .csv) download has no data. This appears to run the query again in under a different session_id perhaps(?)
In a before header process I set the session_id to access a couple of date values set by the user via LOVs - the 'Search' button and an After Submit Process sets the context values which are accessed in the where clause, i.e
where date_attribute between to_date( SYS_CONTEXT('MY_CTX', 'START_DATE'), 'dd-Mon-yyyy')
and to_date( SYS_CONTEXT('MY_CTX', 'END_DATE'), 'dd-Mon-yyyy')
If you know any solution or alternative approach I'd be very grateful for your tips. I like Apex because you can leverage core Oracle database technology but then in some case you do hit these little troubles!
Thanks
Craig

Thanks for the link to the posts.
I considered the Security Attribute but thought that was somewhat inappropriate for just the one page I am setting the context; I understand the Security Attribute function would set 'My_Ctx' values on all page requests.

Interactive report Export report link

I understand normally reports export to .CSV files & assume the name of the Report Region.
I see where in the interactive report - Report attributes - Report Export section you can specify a Fixed name for the report.
MY QUESTION:
Since my BOM report is based on a variable Part Number, can I have the variable become the name of my export.
Example I run a query for a 1234 p/n, can my report then download as 1234_BOM.csv
Thanks,
bob

Hi,
Set application or page item value to name you like have to your CSV file.
Then Interactive Report Attributes set Filename to your item name like
&Px_MY_ITEM.Regards,

Export to CSV Option - no data found

Hi
I have an app with various report regions that work fine on-line. They typically take one or more values from select lists as input to the where clause, and have summary processing based on first or first and second columns. It seems that some reports export to csv just fine, but others produce a csv file with just the 'no data found' message ? Any ideas ?
cheers
Jules

Hi Chris
I think I understand what happens now - i.e. the CSV export runs in a separate session from the on-line page. Your suggestion has fixed the proplem - by having a button to redirect / resubmit back to the same page the csv export then picks up the right data.
However I do not understand why as this seems no different to having a one or more parameter fields defined as 'select list with re-direct', which I do. Any further explanation appreciated.

How to aviod html tags from Report column heading while export to csv

Edited by: pnr on Jul 5, 2011 5:00 AM

Hi Nr
Here is how I approached this problem.
Go to report attributes tab
under column attributes check PLSQL radio button.
Create a function to return the heading of your report as shown below in your database.
create function get_heading return clob as
v_request VARCHAR2(20) := V('REQUEST');
v_col_heading CLOB;
begin
IF INSTR(v_request,'FLOW_EXCEL_OUTPUT',1) > 0 THEN
v_col_heading := 'Employee Number:Employee Name';
ELSE
v_col_heading := 'Employee breaktag Number:Employee break tag Name';
END IF;
return v_col_heading;
end;
Type the function below under ( Function returning colon delimited headings:) as follows.
return get_heading;
Similarly for data base it on PLSQL function body returning SQL and follow the same approach as headings.
Hope this helps.
Thanks
Sukarna

Report output Export to CSV issue

Hi Experts,
I have a Bex Query. After running the report when I export the report in CSV format using "Export to CSV" from the report output screen, the data
is being dumped in different columns And when i try to convert that particular CSV file to Excel as we can only select one single column for delimiting the values using a separator into different cells the data in the other column is being truncated.
Kindly suggest me how to resolve this.
Thanks in Advance,
Sushma

Hi,
(If anything else on the BW side doesn't help).
Not so long ago I had a similiar problem all data (originally taken from several columns) were in one column - solved it with the help of VB coding.
Sth like this could help you.
