Report Generation: what determine row height?

When using the standard report generation vis, and I append a table, what determines the height of the rows? You can set the column width, but even down into all the vis, I don't see any way to control this.
This is in Labview 8.5.1

I have a Zebra printer I am trying to print to and it seems like the row height is determined from just the text length. Even if the column width is plenty wide enough.  But if I send it to a regular Canon printer the table seems to print fine.

  • Report Generation Toolkit Table Row Height-MS Word

    I am having trouble setting the table row height in the report generation toolkit. I can set the column width fine, but the row height seems to remain the same no matter what I set it to. I have attached the VI that generates and formats the table, and the printout it is resulting in. I have also attached the template file I am using.
    Any tips to get this to work right? I am trying to make the cells exactly the same height as the text inside. 
    Solved!

    Hi,
    So I tried .2  and it didn't work.  So I went to Word to manually change it, and it did not work either.  There is a selection box in word, for the table properties, that seems to default to the value "at least".  When I changed this manually to "exactly" in word, no problem with the .2 manually in Word.
    Hopefully this can be set within the template, for all new inserted tables.  I'm not sure the report generator VI's expose this property.  Well, this is a start for the issue.
    Edit ****
    You can go into the add table VI and expose the property.  See pic.   However, you have to decide if you want to "upgrade" this VI permanently to expose this property or make a copy with the property exposed.   I haven't messed with the new class reports too much, so not sure of the ins and outs with this.
    I think this is the issue with the row size becoming smaller.

  • Interactive Report Column Headings and Row Height

    I am using the div style="width:350px;" method to control the width of columns in various interactive reports. That works fine except for the following:
    1. When creating filters, the <div...> stuff shows up along with the actual column heading, thus confusing some end users
    2. Even when I uncheck the "Use same text for single row view" checkbox and then provide a simple single row view label, the <div> stuff still shows up on the single row view
    Does anyone have a better solution?
    Also, does anyone know of a way to limit the row height within an interactive report row? I have some columns of data that contain a large amount of HTML data and I'd like to be able to limit the number of rows that show on the report.
    Is Oracle planning to provide some better control over the Interactive Report columns in another version? The Interactive Report is such a huge improvement in usability in APEX - it would be great to take it to another level by providing some better control over column width and row height.

    Dale,
    Unfortunately we don't have much we can use to do what you would like. I would have said it's impossible until version 4 but you could actually do something similar to what Roel has done. His trick is in the edit button. He changed the edit button to use an "onload" call to a JavaScript process. You could do the same but call a process that goes across the rows and styles each column. Now because you don't have a way to identify the column (can't use the order because the end user could change it) you'll have to write the code to look at the top row first and then style the appropriate column. As far as I can tell, this would be quite difficult and inefficient. Having said that if you need it that bad and would like some help with it, put up an example application on apex.oracle.com and provide the workspace/username/password and I'll take a look.

  • How to populate the last empty row in Excel without using Report Generation Kit

    I wrote  a Labview SUb Vi that uses Report Generation Toolkit that is not loaded on the test stand. I am looking to convert it from Report Generation Vi like New Report,  Append Table to Report, Dispose Report. The tunneling through all the report generation Vis seems extensive. Code is attached. Thanks, Greg
    Greg

    Thank you that was a big help...
    I used the Excel Forum to get a lot of great ideas.  My code is almost working.
    There is a 2-D String Array that represents the String data that I am exporting to the Excel File Sheet 1 - 5.
    I am attempting to determine the last populated row in sheet 1 then populate the next row of Sheet 1.  Since all 5 sheets are populated every time, I should not have to search every sheet for the last row.
    I am getting two row populated on sheet 1 with seeming the same data.
     I found an AXExcelWrite2D ArrayWorksheet.vi that I thought would work.  I think there is a Table  determination that is causing me problems.  The link is http://lavag.org/topic/13324-labview-and-excel-activex-or-ado/.  The Application Invoke Node has a convert formula with "FromReferenceStyle" with R1C1 Attached to it.   I am not sure what this function is doing.  When I try to bring the function help up, there is a missing file.
    I am including both the new active x vi and the report generation vi.   Report Generation VI works.
    I would appreciate any assistance I can get on this.
    Thanks

    File attached....

    Have task of modifying rows of the same excel sheet, number of times without touching data  already present (numbers and strings)
    I have an excel file. (attached)
    A test will be run N number of times.  (N<=17)
    SubTask 1 --> Each time it runs, string data needs to be placed in 'n'th row. (...there are going to be notes in Row 18 and row 19)
    SubTask 2  --> Each time it runs, a 1D array data also will be placed in the same row (but in different cells)
    SubTask 3 --> The number 'n' of the row (where to place the current iteration's data) needs to be determined on fly (by looking at "n-1"st non blank row)
    The same file needs to be used.
    How can above be achieved ?

  • Can we adjust ROW height in ALV report as like of Excel ?

    Dear all,
    Can we adjust ROW height in ALV report as like of Excel sheet ?

    Thanks a lot for your response.
    I've tried your proposal, but it has no affect. The report cells show all their content using as much lines as necessary for this.This is the default behaviour for HTML table data (tables and cells expand to fit their content).
    So I still have rows with lots of lines and rows with only a few lines mixed in my IR dependant on the cell content. Because some rows filling nearly the whole screen, it is difficult to get an overview with regard to adjacent rows.
    I'm using Application Express 4.1.1.00.23. with Theme 21. Scarlet and Firefox 17.0.1.Are all users using Firefox?
    Actually I'm working on my first APEX Solution for usage in my company and the customers demanding a solution for this topic . So I'm very keen to find a solution.
    I'm very much looking forward to your response.I've been involved with similar issues in the past. My first response is simple: Does this data have to be shown in the report? Can the offending column(s) be removed from the primary report? They will still be visible in the single row view, and the detail view if there is one.
    The second option is to create a detail view for the report with a structure that is better suited to the data involved, and make this the default view. (For an example of this, see the treatment of the PRODUCT_DESCRIPTION column in the detail view of the Products report in the Sample Database Application: click on the View Detail button on the Products page.)
    The third possibility is some kind of customization of the presentation of the data. This will involve using some combination of HTML/CSS/Dynamic Actions/Plug-ins/JavaScript that you may not be familiar with: do you have experience of these? To go down that route you need to describe in detail how you want to present the data, or what behaviour is required when the data is too long, and share an example of the report on apex.oracle.com that we can work with.

  • What diff between BIP AttachEntity Report Generation and BIP Report Generation?

    Hi all,

    I had seen they have same method and step.
    Actually,I want to do a function, when click a button,will generate BIP reports.
    Using the BIP Report Gneration can do this.
    But I want pop a window to open or save the report after the WF finished work.
    Could  BIP AttachEntity Report Generation  do that?
    I had similitude it seem same as BIP Report Gneration.
    Be appropriate to you if you can answer the question.

    Ok, let me guess, you are seeing an error that says an invalid printer was selected, right? Well there is a bug in your code but it has nothing to do with the printer that you have selected. Specifically you have some of the margin values set to zero -- which is invalid. The margins have to have a value of at least 1. In case you're interested, I followed down the logic and inside the print report VI the code, for some unknown reason (NI is checking into it), remapps an error code that correctly identifies invalid margins to report one that reports an invalid printer name. Apparently this was first reported in 2008.
    Verified this behavior of both LV2013 and 2014.

  • Report Row Height and Column Width

    Hi,
    I have a cell in a report (a description column) that causes the row height to become very large (when there is a lot of text in the description). I can make the column wider on the report attributes page, but there doesn't seem to be any place to influence the maximum height of a row on a report, short of modifying the template.
    Adding style attributes (e.g. max-height:30px) to an element only affects the <span> that the element resides in, not the table cell or row.
    Displaying the column as a text area is a useful workaround. The downside is the border and scroll bars do waste a lot of screen real estate. Does there exist some other way of setting a limit on the height and/or width of a report, report column or report row?
    Oh, and another question- how do make line breaks in this forum? There's no support for <BR> or [br].

    Please reply to this thread, my customer is facing the same issue. He does not have issue with the excel and the pdf output but in the rtf output the table heght increases to accomadate the data.He want it to bevave in the same way as the pdf do.

  • Financial Reporting auto row height

    Hello,
    I'm trying to build report using Hyperion Financial Reporting Studio. And i need to define row height automatically depending on data. Most of my data needs only one-line rows. But some strings (about 5%) are long enough to be double-lined. Therefore I don't want to define big height for all rows. Is it possible?

    Hi Brian,
    yes this can be done if rows are static.
    but in my reports i have only one design row that expand into 1000 of rows.
    I thought of using rownumber (if possible in FR) and then displaying alternate colors depending on whether a row is even or odd but till now i am not able to figure out if it is possible to get the rownum in FR.
    Thanks and Regards,

  • Report Generation Toolkit Excel Vi's do not run after creating an executable​. What am I missing?

    I have labview 8.5 and Report Generation Toolkit version 1.1.2.   My vi works fine during development. When I make an executable or an installer the excel vi's do not work. I have seen this question posted before but it has always been for earlier revisions and the answers do not seem to apply with 8.5 and 1.1.2. 

    Hello ajh,
    You will have to include Dynamic VIs in the executable you build. The following link has more information:

  • What is wrong with the report generation toolkit????

    OK.  Now I'm a little frustrated.
    I started this thread, but then made an ugly workaround until someone tells me the correct solution.
    So now.... my compiled application can find all the toolkit VIs... but I get error messages telling me that the VIs were are too old (V 7.0) to be recompiled to Version 8.5.1.
    When I got the first of these messages, I opened and saved the VI indicated.  That just pushed the problem along to the next VI.  So I said "ah ha!" and went to the directory (blah\blah\....\addons\_office) that has the toolkit routines and did a Mass Compile.  No errors were generated by this.
    NOW when I try to run, I get an error message telling me that Excel_Insert_Text.vi is not executable.  But that is clearly a lie.  When I open the VI in the development environment, there are no broken arrows...
    And let us not forget my application runs perfectly and without errors in the development environment, even after I brutally recompiled everything.
    For those who care:  I'm running V 8.5.1 with whatever version of the Report Generation Toolkit comes with that (1.1.2??).
    Arrgh.
    -GN

    I feel your pain GN... the RGT in its current Classes incarnation has a few "issues"... try deploying it with TestStand a whole world of pain opens up.
    Now, I have recently seen an issue very similar to the one you described, I broke the RGT after doing a mass compile.
    Eventually opened the RGT VI that was "broken", it looked fine to me. It was something to do with setting the font, and was basically just an activex call. Eventually out of frustration I right clicked on the node, reselected the same method, and another input parameter line appeared at the bottom of the node and the VI all of a sudden became runnable. WOW!
    This needed to be done in a few of the VIs.
    Maybe this will help you

  • Report Generation: linebreak text in Word table row

    Hello everybody.
    Im trying to add some pretty tables to my Word report created with the Report Generation Toolkit.
    I build my 2d string array with the table data and that works fine. But if I add a text to the array cell that has a linebreak constant it breaks the table. I.e my strings is not in the right place and some are missing in the table if linebreaks exists in the strings in the 2d string array that I feed to the 'Word Easy Table' VI. Se my lw 7.1 example below.
    Any one have an ide how to solve this?

    Paul,
    You last response got me think about the complex nested grouping of my for loops that are surrounding and embedded in my table(s). I analyzed my groupings and found that two of my levels had similiar values. When I moved those groupings outside my table, the 3 TOC entries FINALLY appeared !!! Newbie error!!! Anyway, the only problem left to resolve is the page number is not generating with the TOC entries (Getting Bookmark Not Defined Problem). I am wondering if this is a context problem ...or still part of a looping problem. I also can't seem to get the table headers to replicate on page breaks in RTF mode. They do work in PDF generation mode. It is sort of difficult to pass info because I nature of the info I am working with. Thanks for your time and patience. I have learned alot just trying to get this complex template to work.
    Thanks,

  • Set row height and column witdh in Report Designer

    All,
    Is there any way to enter value of a row height or a column width by numbers, instead of dragging them, which I find stupid, especially if several rows should have same height (or several columns same width). I looked for something like Properties-Size/Width/Height but didn't find any. Did I miss anything?
    Cheers!
    /RB

    For those who come from other programming language specially web development, designer or Analyzer looks stupid, but it is very powerful tool. If you need to manage the width and height, then please explore the options in Table Interfaces, there you will be able to use your programming skills.
    thanks.

    What I don't seem to be able to do is open the exsting file and append data to the end of the sheet.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    Hi Todd,
    You can do this by creating a new Excel report with the existing excel file path wired to the "template" input. Then use "Excel Get Last Row.vi" (located under Report Generation\Excel Specific\Excel General) to obtain the location of the last row. Then use that location to input new data into the file.
    Hope this helps,
