Printing Multiselect LOV display values instead of code

I have a report with a multiselect LOV (shows text, returns code), so users can choose one or more things based on the description but when they "print" (using the navigation bar print option to open a printer friendly page), the multiselect field on this new page has the codes, not the text. How can I make the text show up here too? (Apex 3.0)

Oh - I see what I was saying wrong - it's a summary report that is having the problem - I am not returning the details, only a series of counts of various data (there are about 20 columns). Each column is a count of people, broken down by age group and gender. So the :P89_ENVIRONMENT value shows up with its text value when only one is selected from the multiselect, but when more than one is chosen, the text is replaced by the list of values separated by colons.
I.E. (with one environment selected)
Environment, Total, Females 10-20, Males 10-20, Females 20-30, Males 20-30 [...]
Woods 2 1 0 0 1
I.E. (with 4 environments selected)
Environment, Total, Females 10-20, Males 10-20, Females 20-30, Males 20-30 [...]
11:13:44:67 2 1 0 0 1
The report query looks like this:
SELECT :P89_ENVIRONMENT, count(gender) Total , (select count(gender) from client where gender_type = F and age > 20 and age <30), (select count(gender) from client where gender_type = M and age > 20 and age <30), (select count(gender) from client where gender_type gender_type = F and age > 30 and age <40) [...]
Any suggestions on how I can keep a text value in the Environment column regardless of how many are selected?

Display value instead of key in input field with LOV?

Sorry, this is so basic I'm sure it must be easy but somehow I can't find it in the documentation. The LOCATION table contains a foreign key referencing the CLIMATE table. As well as its primary key, CLIMATE has a column called NAME holding the name of the climate (e.g. temperate, tropical, etc.). The user must be able to update the climate value for the location he is working on. So I have a list of values which looks up possible climate names, the user selects the name he wants and the value gets set in the LOCATION table. That works, but the problem is that the input item displays the key value of the CLIMATE record, and I need it to display the value of NAME instead. Of course I can have another field showing the name, but that is messy, the user doesn't understand the key value and shouldn't have to see it. So how do I make one input field display the NAME, while actually updating the key value from the LOV choice?
Thanks

Thank you, Joseba. It does help to some extent. Now I have a non-updatable field with the climate name in it, and below that is the magnifying-glass icon that invokes the list of values. I guess that's not bad, and I can put a label next to the magnifying class saying "Click to select climate". So it's better, but still looks very odd compared to updating fields that are in the LOCATION table itself, where it's an updatable field and the maginfying glass is right next to it. Really the user should not have to behave differently just because the database chooses to hold the value that he wants to alter as a reference to another table.
Is there at least a way to put the list of values magnifying-glass next to the field that displays teh value, rather than underneath it? They are all inside a thing called "af:panelFormLayout", and I tried setting MaxColumns to 2 in its properties, but it still won't let me move the list-of-values field alongside the other one.
Thanks.

Combo box displays value instead of label

I have several combo boxes on a vi that will occasionally start displaying the value of an certain items instead of the string label when an element is selected. The only way to fix it is to deleted the combo box and replace it with another. This has happened several times on the same vi. Sometimes it is ok when the vi is run in the IDE but shows up in an executable. Is this a bug?
Thanks,
Bill F

I think this is to be expected. Your control will have a value with no associated text.
It would be much more dangerous if LabVIEW would randomly change (e.g. coerce) the value when the strings array gets shorter by some mechanism.
You have several possibilities, for example:
(1) Check the value and coerce to the highest valid entry or switch to entry zero.
(2) Keep the array of strings at constant size, but replace the unwanted entries with empty strings (see attached), the string "out of range", "invalid selection", or similar.
LabVIEW Champion . Do more with less code and in less time .

How to get lov display value dynamically for an item according to date pick

Hi friends,
I have a date picker item called on_date, and also one lov item course_name
If i select one date from the date picker item means, automatically the course name corresponding to the date has to populate in the course_name item lov.
suppose if i select the date (21-06-2011) from the date picker item means and if there are two courses available for the date in the table
that is *) APEX *)OAF means, then the course_name item lov should show APEX and OAF in the select list.
How to acheive it.
I tried it in the way by creating a dynamic action for the date item
True Action: set value
Sql Expression:
select course_name from xx_trg_course_detail where :P2_ON_DATE between effective_start_date and effective_end_datepage item to submit: P2_ON_DATE
Affected element: P2_COURSE_NAME
it is working if i kept the course_name item as a text field instead of LOV item.
But i need to show the corresponding courses in the lov for the course_name item soon after selecting the particular date from the date picker.
This is the LOV definition that i gave for the course_name item
select course_name r, course_name d from xx_trg_course_detail where :P2_ON_DATE between effective_start_date and effective_end_datewhat is the problem over here.
Thanks
Regards,
Mini

Hi friends,
One of my batch mate corrected this problem, by setting
cascading LOV parent item: P2_ON_DATE
page items to submit : P2_ON_DATE
By specifying the date picker item name in the above fields for the item COURSE_NAME.
Now if i select the date from the picker means, the lov item course_name is getting changed as it is showing only the courses of the respective dates.
Thanks

Mini

Multiselect prompt display values in title

Hello,
I have a prompt which is multiselect. Is there a way I can display the values selected in the title of the report?
thanks,
deep

Hi,
here an abstact from the support:
Applies to:
Answers, Interactive Dashboard - Version: 10.1.3.4.0 [1900] to 10.1.3.4.1 [1900] - Release: 10g to 10g
Information in this document applies to any platform.
Goal
How to set up a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g?
Solution
You cannot set a Presentation Variable in a Multi Select dashboard prompt in OBIEE 10g. This is expected behavior. OBIEE 10g is working as designed. A Presentation variable can assume a single value. Because of that, presentation variables are not available when using multi select prompts.
OBIEE 11g will introduce the ability to set Presentation Variables when using multi select prompts. In 10g you can try as a workaround using more than 1 prompt.
So basically you can't set a presenation variable from a Multiselect Prompt, that's because you can't show the values selected in any views.
I don't know if there is somr way to do this with javascript.
Regards,
Gianluca

How to refresh lov displayed value

Hi,
I have a POPUP LOV (which displays a numeric id and description) and it has cascading parent LOV. When I change the value in the parent LOV the child LOV is populated with new values and that is OK. But, I also want to automatically select some value from that LOV according to some rule. How can I do this? I tried with dinamic actions "set value" but only the session value of the item changes and the popup stays the same (no value selected).
Thanks

I wonder if more people agree with your statement that this would be the natural thing to do.
Everybody knows Excel, and wants Excel behaviour. This behaviour is just like Excel. You search for 2251343000 in a formatted column, not 2,251,343,000. It's way easier to type 2251343000 on the numeric keyboard.
(Just tried if you can filter on a unformatted hidden column somehow, but that doesn't seem to work. Sorry, no solution from me then.)

HOW TO have LOV display values from a table not contained in parsing schema

I am using DAD to log in and have been able to get around the problems associated with the login schema being different than the parsing schema. However, I want to have a list of values to be shown to the user based on a table in the DAD schema that they log into rather than the parsing schema.
Anyone know how this might be done?

GOT IT:
RETURN 'select xxxxxxx' does it

Want to display value instead of "No rows selected"

select 'NOV-02' "Month" , decode(sum(pe.pet_tar_amount),null,'0')"Budget",pt.pfe_nature, t.libelle
from pf_tar_exp pt, pf_tar_expfal pe, thesaurus t
where
pt.id_protf=pe.id_protf
and pt.id_expend=pe.id_expend
and pt.pfe_nature=t.ccode
and pt.id_protf='355.02-USA/001'
and t.langue='A'
and t.thesaurus_name='NAT_DEP_NLP'
and pe.pet_dat>='01-nov-2002' and pe.pet_dat<='30-nov-2002'
group by pt.pfe_nature, t.libelle;
This is my query. When I run it, i get "no rows selected", which is true because there is no data for pe.pet_tar_amount for the given dates. But, I want to display the Month as NOV-02 and 0 for sum(pe.pet_tar_amount).
I would appreciate if someone can help me with this.
Thanks,
Ruby

Technical questions such as this should be posted to one of the technical forums-- Products | Database | SQL and PL/SQL in this case.
It may be as simple as doing an outer join on pf_tar_expfal.

Pop-up list manager displaying "return value" instead of "display value"

Hello,
I'm using a list manager based on pop-up LOV. When I click on an item on the pop-up window, the window is closed and the return value is displayed in the page list. I would like to have (as expected) the display value otherwise a user who accesses the detail of a record can just see codes (no meaning) and can't understand nothing. The return values should be used just for database storage as expected in a database application environment.
The behaviour should be like the one of "POPUP Key LOV (display descriptions, return key values)"...where in the textbox I can see the description but I send the key to the database.
I could use a multislect list too (which allows to display descriptions instead of codes) but in this case another problem arises: if I have lots of items the user has to scroll the list to see which items have been selected.
Any other solution to allow a user to see (and print) the content of "multiple" fields (descriptions, not codes)?
I'm using Application Express 2.1.0.00.39
Thanks a lot for your help.
Eugenio

Anyone? Which is the best practice in these cases? Is it not possible to get the value selected displayed in a proper manner when using a "select multiple" fields?
Thanks for your help.

Multi-select lists, their return values and showing their display value

I have a multi select list which is dynamic. The display and return values are pulled from a table where the return value is the Primary Key.
When people select a few options, the value is stored in session state as 11:12:13 (etc...). From here, I run these numbers through a process which takes a report ID and the multi-select string, and saves individual rows as Report_id, individual multi select value until there are no more multi select values.
This is great, they're tied in as a foreign key to the LOV lookup table, and they are easily search able.
I have trouble where I want to list a report's entire multi-select list. I have a function combine the numbers with a : in between them and RTRIM the last one, so I have an identical string to what a multi-select table uses. 11:12:13 (etc..)
When I assign it to display as an LOV in a report, it just shows the 11:12:13 instead of listing out the values.
Single number entries, where someone only selected one option in a multi select, display fine.
Am I doing this wrong?

Scott - you're right on the money. I did this initially because I thought assigning an LOV display value to a report column would yield the results I wanted.
I want to do this without referring to the original table... meaning I don't want a function to have to go out and get the names, I'd like my LOV assignment to do it. This saves headache of having to change something in 2 places if it ever changed.
Am I not going to be able to do this?
I created a test multi-LOV page, it doesn't work with original(not processed in my function) LOV assignments either, unless you only select one.

How to display the "display values" in READ Only mode for a SHUTTLE

Hi,
I have a form item of type *'Shuttle'* and using the following LOV.
   select DEPTNAME d, DEPTNO r
    from DEPTIn normal mode..it displays the department name and internally store the Deptno..
Now I converted this item to Read Only mode using Read Only Condition Type
the problem is as soon as it becomes read only...it displays the deptno....not the department name
            Department-   10:20:30How can I display the "display values" i.e the actual department name in read only mode..
            Department-   Department1:Department2:Department3Thanks,
Deepak

Hi,
It seems feature. Shuttle is span tag when it is read only.
Work around could be that
you compute display as text item with LOV display value according shuttle session state and show shuttle and this item conditionally depend case

How to display the display value of a select list

I want to display the display value instead of the return value of a select list but don't know how to do it, can someone help me?

When you created the select list item, you are ask to provide a list of values query which can either be a SQL query or a Static List, which both follows the pattern of
Dispaly;Return.
Example:
SQL query -
select 'Yes' col1, 'Y' col2
from dual
Static -
STATIC:Yes;Y
which will display 'Yes' but will actually, return 'Y'.
how did you set your select list item?
Thanks,

My lov results into the return value instead of the display value in APEX

Hi,
For 1 of the columns I'm representing in APEX, I choose 'Display as text, based on a lov'. I'm using:
select aan.id||', '||r.naam||', '||a.woonplaats d, aan.id r
from wmo_aanvragen aan
, wmo_dossiers d
, wmo_relaties r
, wmo_adressen a
where d.avg_1_id = aan.id
and d.rel_nummer = r.nummer
and a.rel_nummer = r.nummer
and a.id = (select min(e.id) from wmo_adressen e where e.REL_NUMMER = r.nummer
and e.EIND_DATUM is null)
and d.id = (select min(f.id) from wmo_dossiers f where f.AVG_1_ID = aan.id)
But somehow it displays the 'aan.id' value instead of the display value. Does anyone know howcome?? In TOAD it works fine
Niels
Edited by: user6394263 on 10-apr-2009 1:22

Hello Niels,
Your LOV Displays your concatenated value, but returns the "aan.id" (into the Form field), just as expected. If you want to show the description on your Form, use a PopUp LOV - Displays Description Return Key value

LOV Displays the Return Value when Read Only

Greetings,
I searched for a question/answer for this, but didn't find this exact scenario mentioned, but I may have missed it. If you know of this already been asked/answered just point me to the thread.
On APEX version - 4.1.1.00.23
I have a LOV that is populated by a dynamic action from another LOV. That works great. Depending on the value of another page item the 2nd LOV is Editable or Read Only. The problem is that when the 2nd LOV is Read Only the result value (an ID) displays instead of the display value.
1 - Why is this?
2 - How do I prevent this from happening?
Also, I don't want 2 separate page items (one for edit, one for display) for the 2nd LOV, because the 2nd LOV also has a dynamic action on it to populate a 3rd LOV. The population of the 3rd LOV works great, whether the 2nd LOV is editable or read only.
= = = = = = = 2nd LOV SQL = = = = = = =
select sub_com_desc||' - '||commodity_desc d, defect_code_header_id r
from qcis_defect_code_header
where inactive_date IS NULL and plant_id = :P10_PLANT_ID
order by sub_com_desc
= = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = = =
Thanks, Tony
Edited by: cloaked on May 8, 2013 12:11 PM

I've decided to try a different approach. Since the Select List LOV was Read Only and not populating correctly it was causing a session state error when inserting the row. So, I've made the Select List LOV editable, but it shouldn't be. I now need to disable the page item using JavaScript to prevent it from being changed. I need to do so only when a page item contains a certain value.
Will someone share an example of JavaScript snippet of code I need to use? (I'm not much of a JavaScript coder.)
The page item I need to disable is named - P10_DEFECT_HEADER_ID
I need to disable it when P10_MAP_TYPE = 'P'
Thanks, Tony

Hey user,
If i'm understanding it right, you want to show the values instead of the id, which is very usefull. If that is the case, try this website:

That looks like yours but it explains a little better. Probably you forgot to go to the UIhints part...
