Report Column alignment

Hello,
i have a report with over 100 columns and wish to set the alignment of the data to right.
at present the only way to do this would be to use the combo box to select the alignment value.
could anyone advise if there is a way to do i through the template using CSS or vai the sql used to generate the repiort ?
Thanks
David

Use the text-alignCSS <tt>text-align</tt> property.
The selector required will depend on the theme/templates used, but using a static ID on the region to restrict the rule to the required report, it would look something like:
#region-id .report-class td {
text-align: right;
}We'd need details of the theme/templates involved to be specific.
If it's not desirable for all columns to be right-aligned, then a more complex approach using custom report templates may be required.

Report Column Heading Alignment - Center Not Working Correctly

I am using Apex 2.1 (XE) and now have an application with about 30 pages. I've noticed that some of my reports which have columns with a heading alignment of "center" are not always centering if they have columns that align to the left or right included before them. I looked at the generated HTML and it shows that align="LEFT" or align="RIGHT" is being generated in the source even when the column heading is set to center in the designer. It appears that if a field higher on the list says to align the column heading left or right, then that is what the following columns are going to do also if they are set to center. So column heading left and right works great, and center works only if all the columns are set to center.
My question: Is this a known bug? Is it something that can be scheduled for a fix at some point in the future?
Luckily the column data itself obeys the column alignment, so this is strictly a cosmetic problem with the column headings.
Thanks,
Jim

Hello,
What theme are you using?
Try setting them with a css decalration. Instead of align="right" put this is in the heading attribute
style="text-align:right;" or style="text-align:left;"

Column Alignment in Column Attributes under Report Attributes Not Working

After changing the default setting and applying the new setting for changing column alignment from left to right, the numbers in the column stay to the left when I run the page. I've cleared the cache and the setting stays on "right" even after logging out of the browser completely and going back in. The numbers in the column of the report are aligned left despite the alignment setting for the column begin "right." I have this problem with more than one column and on completely different page of the application. What am I missing?

Hi,
Is the Display As setting set to "Standard Report Column"? Is this just a standard report or a tabular form and the numbers in INPUT items?

Dynamic alignment of report column and page item value

Hi friends,
I have an interactive report which contains the columns like
<li>empno
<li>Name
In the above i have "empno" with a column alignment of left and a "Name" with a column alignment of left.
Whether it is possible to override the data alignment that we set in the report according to the value of the application item like
If my application item value is US, then i need the column alignment of both the column"empno" and "Name" to be left and if my application item value is AR, then i need the column alignment of both the column "empno" and "Name" to be right. Whether is it possible to achieve the dynamic alignment to the report data of both the columns "empno" and "Name" according to the application page item value.
And also in the case of page item i have a page item with a name P1_NAME in which it has a Element Horizontal/Vertical alignment to left.
I need that element alignment of the page item to behave dynamically according to the application page item, like if the application page item is US then the element alignment of the page item has to be left and if the application page item is AR then the element alignment of the page item has to be right.
Whether is it possible to achieve my above two scenario's friends. Kindly help me with this.
Thanks in advance.
Brgds,
Mini

Kees,
Your approach is excellent and brilliant:-)
I tried with your steps and i can achieve those alignment in both ways like you said(either on page load/through DA).
But im going with the DA way. I have certain query regarding this kees.
<li>Suppose if the report, is classic whether i can go with the same approach that i have achieved alignment with the IR report.
<li>Currently through the DA way, i used the page item in the condition. Is it possible to use the application item instead of page item in DA. Because im going to use the application item FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE for getting the code either 'AR' or 'US'.
<li>Finally i need this kind of restriction for the page item also, consider like i have a page item P1_X with an Element Vertical/Horizontal alignment as left. Now i need to change that alignment to right according to the application page item value, hence i can give application item condition for the page item like below
PL-SQL EXPRESSION: :FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE = 'AR'
i need the element alignment of the page item to behave dynamically suppose if the application item value is AR then the element alignment of that page item has to be right if the application item value is US then the element alignment of that page item has to be left, irrespective of the page item Element Vertical/Horizontal alignment that was set to it.
Thanks for your kind help

Change Column alignment Interactive report

http://i.imgur.com/W3mPx.png
Was wondering if there a way to change the column alignment in one go instead of manually going into each one.

It is not a good practice to do any direct update in the apex tables but if you have DBA privileges, look at the source code of the apex view APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_IR_COL and you can update HEADING_ALIGNMENT & COLUMN_ALIGNMENT columns in the database for a given application id and page number.
Thanks,

Generic column - aligne right

Hi
I created dynamic report on function returning query. Now I have problem with number columns, because columns aligne left. Is it some simple solution to aligne right ?
Regards

OK.. simple solution. Find the class name of your report.
Add an inline style sheet to the page header or region header.
For instance, I have an interactive report, and the class name is: apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA
so, I add this to the page header:
<style type="text/css">
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA tr td {
text-align:right;
</style>The column contents is then aligned to the right.

Column alignment with apex_item.text

I am trying to create a tabular form with the following statement
select apex_item.text(10,empno) empno,
apex_item.text(20,ename) ename,
apex_item.text(30,sal,15,15) sal,
apex_item.text(40,comm) comm
from emp
The statement above works fine, however, if I try to align the sal column by adding style for the p_attribute parameter such as
apex_item.text(30,sal,15,15,style="text-align:right;") sal
I get the following
Query cannot be parsed within the Builder. If you believe your query is syntactically correct, check the ''generic columns'' checkbox below the region source to proceed without parsing. ORA-00907: missing right parenthesis
In addition to the column alignment I would like to format the column like $999,999.99 and provide a column total at the bottom, is this possible with apex_item.text?
Any thoughts would be most appreciated
Regards,
Mark

Hi,
You could try using TO_CHAR(sal,'$999,999.99') but I'm not sure what that may do to the submit process - I tend to leave the number unformatted and only use formats for reports.
If you are able to add in formatting, it may actually make it a lot harder to provide totals. A total could be done by looping through the input items that have a name attribute of "f30" (as you've used 30 for the index number of that item) - using parseInt() or parseFloat() javascript functions would convert the strings into numbers, but the commas and currency symbols would stop this working.

How to set custom widths for a particular report column?

how could I set a custom width for a particular report column? Is there a way to do it using css?
Thank you.

Hi Leland,
I have tested this here: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:18]
All I have done is add the following into the report's Region Header:
<style type="text/css">
#apexir_EMPNO {width:200px}
#apexir_ENAME {width:200px}
#apexir_DEPTNO {width:200px}
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA TR TD {height:100px;}
</style>The headers have all be set to be left-aligned. Each column should be 200px wide (even though I'm setting the width on the headers, it will be applied to the entire column unless a cell's contents is wider, in which case the column is made wider). The final entry above adjusts the height of all TDs within the IR table.

Interactive report column filters to display differently than column values

Greetings...
We use images a lot in our interactive reports to provide a visual representation to a status, or something locked for update, or what-have-you. By default, when a user clicks the column heading of a column which contains images, the drop-down list that shows up displays the actual images, which is nice for the user to identify exactly which thing they want to filter on. The problem is when the user selects on of the options in the filtering drop-down, the resulting condition that is displayed under the interactive report search bar is the HTML code of the image. I'd like something else to display there because showing the user the HTML code is atrocious.
I didn't think what I want is possible, but then I came across the Page Locks page within ApEx (page 4000:291 in ApEx 4.0.1) which displays a list of all the pages of an application and whether they are locked or not. It also allows you to bulk lock or bulk unlock a bunch of pages. That page uses an interactive report with a column called "Status" which contains images that represent whether the page is locked or not. When you click the "Status" column heading to filter, instead of seeing the images of an open and closed lock, you see the words "Page Locked" and "Page Unlocked." And even better... when you select on of them, the condition that is displayed to the user is very user-friendly.
Can someone tell me how this is done so I can replicate it in my own apps?
Shane.

Why not create the IR using the text you require e.g. 'Lock', 'Unlock' and then use JQuery to replace the text in the report with the image you want. All the filters should then show the plain text and the report will display the image. e.g.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=46801:1
Here's what I did:
Firstly make sure the IR has a region template.
Then create a Dynamic Action with the following attributes:
1. Advanced
2. Event: After Refresh
3. Selection Type: Region
4. Region: [select the IR Region]
5. Action: Execute JS Code
6. Fire on page load: [checked]
7. Code:
$('td [headers="TEST"]').each(function(index) {
if ($(this).text() == 'Lock') {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/locked_small.gif" alt="Lock" />');
else {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/unlocked_small.gif" alt="Unlock" />');
});Where TEST is the column name.
That's it, this may also be of interest:

Display an alert message through javascript when report column item is null

Hello,
I have a report column item which is an select list item and now i want to display an alert message when value is null, I mean no value is selected, this alert message should be fired when update button is clicked.
Can anyone please help me with this issue.
Thanks,
Orton

You could try something like this:
declare
x        INTEGER;
err_ct INTEGER   := 0;
begin
x := 5; -- number of rows displayed
for i in 1 ... x (
    IF wwv_flow.g_f08(i)) IS NULL THEN err_ct := err_ct + 1;
    END IF;
end loop;
IF err_ct = 0 THEN
     RETURN NULL;
ELSE
    RETURN 'Nice error message: you must supply a value.';
END IF;This would be used with a PL/SQL validation: Function Returning Error Text.

Column alignment in tabular form

Hi,
how to change column alignment in f.e Text Fields in tabular form.
Manual option doesn.t work (alingment not heading). I tried to add
style=text-align:right ( i cut quote)in element column formatting options but I didn't find solution.
Anyone know how to change this?
Maybe sth simillar to the same problem in IR:
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td, .apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td div{text-align:right}I understand ".apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA" it's only IR definition and it doesn't work with tabular form
Edited by: nirud on 2010-03-12 07:53

Cannot edit a field that is "Standard Report Column" when new row added

Hi everyone,
I have created a master-detail form from the wizard and within the detail report region source I have used apex_item.xxx API
example;
select C1, C2,
CASE when C2 ='N' then
apex_item.select_list_from_query(3, C3,'select a1 d, a2 r from table1', 'ENABLED', 'NO',null,null, 'f03_#ROWNUM#')
else
apex_item.select_list_from_query(3, C3,'select a1 d, a2 r from table1', 'DISABLED', 'NO',null,null, 'f03_#ROWNUM#')
END C3
from table;
All columns C1,C2,C3 are defined as "Standard Report Columns".
The results allows the column C3 field to be enabled or disabled for input depending on a condition.
The problem is when you hit the default button "Add Row" to add a new row. The row is non-editable and is populated with null values.
What I want is to allow input when a new row is inserted into the multi-row detail form.
Can any one help?
Is there a way to change the Display As field for the new row columns to "text field" from "standard report column" dynamically?

I think you will need to use the old way of adding rows instead of the new one. I remember having headaches trying to get it working.

Passing parameter from interactive report column link to new page

I'm very simply trying to pass the value of the column link to the where clause on the next page.
Interactive Report on P2 has column link fid alias in sql query.
I read somewhere to refer prefix the interactive report column with IR ??
So I have item name P2_FID, value #FID#. Anyway, I've tried a kazillion things.
Created a hidden item with same source value... sigh.
Is there a syntax to refer to a report column link, rather than an item_id in a region where clause?
Is there a simple direct way to do this?
Thanks,
Pamela
-----pls/apex/f?p=163:1:2746459963336955::NO::P2_FID:119

Thank you Varad...
Unfortunately, I am still getting no data found. (and there IS data).
a) Do you mean in the link column section of the report attributes? that is done: item 1 name= IR_P2_FID, value = #FID#
b) Do you mean my changing my hidden page item to ir_p2_fid with its source value as #FID# ? also done.
Do I need this hidden item?, and if not how do I refer to link in the where clause of the called page's sql region?
3) Where Fishery_id = :IR_P2_FID
Where Fishery_id = &IR_P2_FID
Thanks again!

How to accessing current row report column value in Lov Query?

Hi,
which access methods (eg. bind variables, substitutions, ...) for getting the current row report column value can be used in the "Lov Query" property of a report column?
As what I know of and what I have read on the forum there are no bind variables for the report columns. For the "Link Text" property it seems that the column values exist as substitution strings (#COLUMN_NAME#). But they don't work in the Lov Query. => And would be good because of a hard parse each time the Lov query is executed.
The following post (Re: Simulating a correlated sub query in lov
is showing a solution to use package variables for temporary storage of the referenced value, but the only problem with that solution is that if a new record is added with the "Add rows to tabular form" process the package variable still contains the value from the last queried row! Is there a way (variable, APEX package, ...) to determine if the lov query is executed for a new record so that the package can return null?
I know that I could write the package in a way that the value is immediately cleared when lov_pkg.keyval is called (one time read), but then I would have to create several variables if I'm accessing the value multiple times in the query or in another query => I think an one time read solution would be very obscurely.
Thanks for your help

Hi Patrick,
I agree that it's a waste to continually use Ajax to go back to the server to get the contents of a dynamic select list.
There are no bind variables for any row item - but what you do have, as per my previous post, is the value of the data entered by the user in the first row. You can pass this into your application process (using get.add("VARIABLENAME", value)), which can use it to retrieve the correct LOV in your Ajax code - this will give you a "bind variable" that your process can use.
What you could do, however, is generate hidden select lists on your page - one for each possible LOV list and replace the contents of the new row's select list with the contents of the appropriate hidden select list. This is easy to do with javascript (using innerHTML functions). Obviously, though, the usefulness of this depends on the number and size of the select lists.
Even if you don't generate them to start with, you can keep a copy of any select lists returned by Ajax in the DOM for use on new rows. So, if you have retrieved a select list, you will have a copy of it in DOM which you can then copy into the new row. If you don't have the list in DOM, use Ajax to get it, store a copy of it and copy it into the new row.
Which method you use will depend on the number/size of select lists needed. If they are few in number and/or size, I would suggest generating hidden lists. If they are large, use Ajax to get them once, store them and then retrieve them from the DOM when needed.
There is another thread here where Arie recommends going to the server every time to make sure you get the most up-to-date data for the lists. If you want to follow this advice, for this reason, use get.add("VARIABLENAME", value) to pass the value to your process. If this is not an issue, you can use one of the other methods I outlined above.
Regards
Andy
