Report in vertical

Hi friends,
I need a material report.
first column field discription and next 7 columns material info
for eg if it has 20 records it should display in 3 pages
e.g
In Page -1
material    M100   M200    M300
Qty            1            4         7
UOM          EA        EA       EA
In Page -2
material    M500   M600    M700
Qty            1            4         7
UOM          EA        EA       EA
Please suggect me some idea or any eg report if u have any for above
thanks in advance

You could create a 2nd internal table with material, quantity, UOM. loop through the data you have obtained from database into another internal table, counting the rows.... when you have seven rows in the your 2nd table, loop three times, doing write:/ for sy-tabix 1 and write for next 6....write to specific columns on your report. 1st loop is material, next loop would be 7 quantities, next loop would be 7 UOMs, then clear the 2nd internal table, reset your row counter and fill it again.....relatively easy to do actually.

Report Custom Vertical Table Question

Hello Guys,
I am trying to display some data in a custom vertical table (for a report). The data that I have looks like this :
Customer number          Name               Product          Age
123               John Customer          Checking     50
456               Jane Customer          Savings          40
When I display it using a vertical table (or attribute value pairs) the data looks like:
Customer number: 123
Name : John Customer
Product: Bank Account
Age: 50
Customer number: 456
Name : Jane Customer
Product: Bank Account
Acct No: 40
But I want to display the data like this:
Customer number: 123 456
Name : John Customer Jane Customer
Product: Bank Account Bank Account
Age: 50 50
The option here is to change the data to dynamic columns rather than dynamic rows. I tried manipulating the templates but it would not do it. Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

Hi Badri,
OK - this is what I did (there's no documentation as such, so I'll just give you the step-by-step guide here!):
1 - In your application, go to Shared Components then Templates
2 - Click the Create button
3 - Click the "Report" option
4 - Select "From Scratch" and click Next
5 - Enter a name for the new template (for example, "Vertical Report"), leave the Theme as your current theme, set Template Class to "Custom 1", tick the "Named Column (row template)" option and click Create
This creates a new blank report template - scroll down the list of templates to this new one and click on the name to edit it.
In there, you need to enter the following:
Row Template 1 setting:
<td>
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" class="t18Standard" style="border-collapse:collapse">
<tr><td class="t18Data">#1#</td></tr>
<tr><td class="t18Data">#2#</td></tr>
<tr><td class="t18Data">#3#</td></tr>
<tr><td class="t18Data">#4#</td></tr>
</table>
</td>NOTE: In my example report, I show four columns (EMPNO, ENAME, SAL, COMM) - these are refered to as #1#, #2#, #3# and #4# above (#1# means column number 1, #2# is column 2 and so on - but use the column numbers not the names in your template). If you have a different number of columns add in or remove lines of: <tr><td class="t18Data">#nn#</td></tr> (replacing nn with the column number)
Leave all other settings in the Row Templates section blank
Before Rows setting:
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" style="border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr>
<td>
<table class="t18Standard" cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" style="border-collapse:collapse;">
<tr><th class="t18ReportHeader">EMPNO</th></tr>
<tr><th class="t18ReportHeader">ENAME</th></tr>
<tr><th class="t18ReportHeader">SAL</th></tr>
<tr><th class="t18ReportHeader">COMM</th></tr>
</table>
</td>NOTE: You will need one TR tag for each of the column headings - I have four here (EMPNO, ENAME, SAL and COMM) - add or remove lines of <tr><th class="t18ReportHeader">COLUMNNAME</th></tr>
After Rows setting:
</tr>
</table>
<table>
<tr>
<td>
#PAGINATION#
</td>
</tr>
</table>Leave all settings in the Pagination section blank
NOTE: Any "class" name used above assumes that you are using Theme 18 (t18Standard is the standard report style class, for example) - you will have to update these to match your own theme
Click Apply Changes to save this
Now go back to your page and click on the "Report" link for your report region - this takes you to Report Attributes. Scroll down to the "Report Template" setting and change this to your new template. Click Apply Changes to save that.
When the page is rendered, a new table will be created for the report, the headings will be created within another table in the first TD on that table. All data lines are created as separate tables within new TD tags - this makes the output go across the page instead of down.

Interactive report showing vertical grid lines

Has anyone adjusted an interactive report so that it shows the vertical grid lines? I see the horizontal lines by default but I am thinking the vertical lines will make my data easier to read. Just can't figure how to do that.

Hello Edward,
@Jeff Eberhard has a good solution for showing vertical grid lines.
Here is the solution for whole grid for interactive report to be included in the Region Header/Region Footer/Page HTML Header:
<style>
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
        border-width: 2px;
     border-spacing: 0px;
     border-style: solid;
     border-color: black;
     border-collapse: collapse;
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA th {
        border-width: 1px;
     padding: 4px;
     border-style: solid;
     border-color: black;
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td {
        border-width: 1px;
     padding: 4px;
     border-style: solid;
     border-color: black;
</style>Hope it helps!

Cross tab sub report with vertical page breaks

Hi have a report which contains 3 sub reports - different views of similar data. The sub report is wide enough to cover two landscape pages across and they run down over two pages
The first subreport on page one does expand across into the secon landscape page, but does not repeat the row labels, although the settings in both main & subreport cross tab are to repeat
The secon & third sub reports which print on the escon vertical page do not expand across to display any data, so I get no page four.
They all have exactly the same settings.
Is there any easy way to resolve this?

hi Julie,
this is i believe the nature of cross-tabs inside of subreports...horizontal expansion within the subreports is not a supported feature.
you mentioned that the data is similar but just different views...is the query that each subreport runs off of bringing in the same record set? if so, is it possible to move the cross-tabs into the main report?
are you using crystal reports 2008? if so, does changing the page setup for the entire report to a huge size and then the pagination for each section to landscape help?

Custom Report Template Issue

Hi,
I have a Custom Report Template, it is a Named Column(Row) Report that I have created. It seems I can get the look and feel I want on a per row basis.

Thanks for the input! Yeah it is based on a query from a collection as all this data is summations that i am pre-populating.
Yes this html is probably from 1998 or 1999 I think they told me actually lol
So there is no way to accomplish what I am trying to do then?
There is no way I could use a break on first column and modify the header info to get the same sort of look and feel?Still not really clear what you are trying to accomplish, and in my view there are so many problems with the "look and feel" that it's not worth perpetuating.
Making a lot of assumptions, I've come up with the kind of HTML structure I'd use when marking up this kind of data. I added a page 2 to your example on apex.oracle.com, showing a basic presentation of this structure alongside the original for comparison, and another styled using the default theme L&F.
<li>Given the requirement to use multi-level headers (and because I prefer to have total control over the HTML), I stayed with a custom report template rather than trying to utilise column breaking with a generic column report template. This also permits use of more advanced table structures than can be supported by standard templates, such as s<tt>colgroup</tt>s to organize the table columns as well as the rows:
Before Rows
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" summary="" #REPORT_ATTRIBUTES# id="report_#REGION_STATIC_ID#">
#TOP_PAGINATION#
<tr>
    <td>
      <table class="fish">
        <caption>Some fishy summaries</caption>
        <colgroup span="1"></colgroup>
        <colgroup span="4" class="evaluation-trips" align="right"></colgroup>
        <colgroup span="4" class="other-trips" align="right"></colgroup>
After Rows
      </table>
    </td>
</tr>
#PAGINATION#
</table><li>Rather than separate tables, the report is contained in one HTML table, utilizing the <tt>tbody</tt> element to subdivide this into separate row groups to meet the "break on first column" requirement. This is achieved using conditional row templates, with PL/SQL Expressions based on the values of metadata columns added to the query:
Row Template 1
Header rows and first data row for each row group. <tt>scope</tt> attributes are added to multi-column headers for improved accessibility:
  <tbody>
    <tr>
      <th colspan="9" scope="rowgroup">#C1#</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th></th>
      <th colspan="4" scope="colgroup">Evaluation Trips</th>
      <th colspan="4" scope="colgroup">All Other Trips</th>
    </tr>
    <tr>
      <th>#C2#</th>
      <th>#C4#</th>
      <th>#C5#</th>
      <th>#C6#</th>
      <th>#C7#</th>
      <th>#C4#</th>
      <th>#C5#</th>
      <th>#C6#</th>
      <th>#C7#</th>
    </tr>
    <tr class="#ALT#">
      <td class="desc">#C8#</td>
      <td>#C9#</td>
      <td>#C10#</td>
      <td>#C11#</td>
      <td>#C12#</td>
      <td>#C13#</td>
      <td>#C14#</td>
      <td>#C15#</td>
      <td>#C16#</td>
    </tr>
#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#
Row Template 1 Expression
This template is used when the row metadata shows that the current row is in a different row group from the previous row:
#ROW_GROUP# != #PREVIOUS_ROW_GROUP#
Row Template 2
This is the "default" template, used for any subsequent data rows in the row group:
    <tr class="#ALT#">
      <td class="desc">#C8#</td>
      <td>#C9#</td>
      <td>#C10#</td>
      <td>#C11#</td>
      <td>#C12#</td>
      <td>#C13#</td>
      <td>#C14#</td>
      <td>#C15#</td>
      <td>#C16#</td>
    </tr>
#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#Both templates make use of a <tt>#CLOSE_ROW_GROUP#</tt> column value conditionally generated in the query that returns a <tt></tbody></tt> tag if the current row is the last data row in the row group. (Mixing logic and structure in this way is not good practice, but APEX only allows up to 4 conditional row templates, which is completely insufficient for any moderately complex structure.)
<li>Several metadata columns (incorporating heavy use of analytic functions) are added to the report query for use in the report template or CSS presentation:

The resulting report uses 60% less vertical space, and 87% less HTML code[1] than the original. Usability and accessibility are improved by eliminating nested tables and useless table cells and shim images, increasing the contrast between text and background colours, and using alternating row backgrounds for better visual tracking.

About the report print

Dear Friends:
I want the change the report from vertical print to horizontal print. How should I do for that? Pls kindly help, thanks...

Any body help???????

Composing the URL to call a report to render in the Excel format - SSRS 2012

Hi,
I've a report that I need to call by an URL. I've composed this link, using the rs:Format=EXCEL command, but I've an error because the max number of rows is 65.536 for the current version of Excel and the extracted data are more of 150.000 rows. On the report
server is installed Excel 2013 and so this error it seems strange: the limit of 65.536 rows refers to an older Excel version than Excel 2010.
My idea is to pass in the URL string a client command, but rc:Format=EXCEL doesn't function.
Any suggests to me, please?
Thanks

Hi pscorca,
Per my understanding that when you export the large data report to excel by adding the commend "rs:Format=EXCEL" in the URL, you got some error, right?
As you mentioned that you are using the new version of excel, so the issue can be caused by the reporting service have some limitation rendering the large data report.
Please design the report to add page break and parameters which will also avoid some limitation of the excel:
When you add page breaks in the report. Each page break will defines a new sheet in Excel. Each sheet can handle a maximum of at least 65000 rows. Consider these limits when you set the page breaks in a report.
For exporting to Excel, do not merge cells in a Tablix data region. In free form reports, align report items vertically. Merged cells and unaligned report items interfere with Excel functionality in the exported report.
You have mentioned that pass "rs:Format=EXCEL" in the URL string a client command, but doesn't work, please check to make sure you add the commend after the Report URL of the report Server but not report manager.
Pass a Report Parameter Within a URL

If your problem still exists, I would like you post us the error message you got to help us better analysis about the issue.

There is a built-in feature of interactive reports that does this: Detail View. Simply follow the instructions in the documentation to enable detail view, and enter the HTML structure required to render the detail report.

Problems connecting my macbook pro to my samsung led Tv

Hi. I try to present some pictures and videos by connecting my macbook pro to my samsung led Tv but my mac doesn't recognize the Tv (or it could be that my TV doesn't recognize the mac). What should I do?

I have problems too with some projectors and the DVI--VGA adapter that came with my MBP. The projector is recognized by the computer, but does not show any signal.
With the help of Stéphane Madrau, who has written the excellent tool SwitchResX, I found out that the projector reports that it takes digital input when I connect the MacBook Pro, but analog when I connect it to my 12" PBG4. From the DDC information (collected with SwitchResX):
MacBook Pro, DVI--VGA:
Input signal & sync:
Digital
PBG4, miniDVI--VGA:
Input signal & sync:
Analog input with: 0.700V / 0.300V
Separate Sync
Composite Sync
Given that the VGA cable is analog only, I would think that the MBP tries (or rather, does) output digital signals only, which don't make it into the VGA cable. If I find a solution I will post it here.
The clue was that the computer did not report any vertical scan frequencies for the external display, while it did so for a projector that worked.

Problems connecting my MacBook Pro to a video projector

I have a MacBook Pro. I have used it many times to connect to a video projector and give presentations in my classroom. Lately, it is hit or miss concerning whether the laptop will give a signal to the computer. I can't figure out what I am doing wrong. I have followed the instructions in the MacBook guide.(Start with projector and laptop off, connect, turn on, etc. )
I am using the DVI to VGA adapter. I have also tried to use the function keys and manually tried to get it to detect displays. Can't think of what to do next. I gave up and hooked up a Windows computer and it worked.
Could it be the adapter? Does anyone have any ideas I can try? Thanks!

Exporting document to Excel "Percent" on the graph,shown as decimal values

When I'm converting a WEBI report(pre 3.0 version) into Excel 2003, I have a problem with displaying data values on the graphs which are formatted as "percent". Nomatter what I do, in excel it will always show the same data values on the graph as decimal representations and not percents as shown in WEBI or in PDF.

Greetings,
I tested the issue with different graphs as below:
created report with City and Sales revenue using sample universe efashion.
Turned report to Vertical Percent line graph.
created customer number format as ###[%]% to display sales revenue values as percent (like 10%,20%...).
Saved the report and opened it in PDF and it is showing same like in the report(in percent).
Opened report in Excel 2003 and it is also showing same like in the report.
Tested issue as will as in Excel 2007, no issues.
If you can provide workflow to reproduce the issue, it will be easy us to give workaround or suggestions.
Thanks

Nouveau graphical tearing, dual-head setup

I currently experience tearing while using the Nouveau drivers for my NVidia card. I experienced the same (or a similar) tearing issue while using the proprietary drivers, which, along with the inherent incompatibility with most of the linux graphics stack, led me to switch to Nouveau.
I'm using the 3D support from nouveau-dri along with xf86-video-nouveau and the most recent Gnome 3 build in the official repositories.
I have a dual-head setup with one 1024x768 IBM monitor to the left of a 1920x1080 Dell monitor. Both report 60Hz vertical refresh rate in their configuration menus.
So far, my attempts to solve this problem have consisted of the following steps:
1. Use a minimal xorg.conf and configure everything using the integrated Gnome display settings utility. The minimal xorg.conf was as follows:
Section "Device"
Identifier "nvidia"
Driver "nouveau"
Option "GLXVBlank" "true"
EndSection
2. Enable/disable the GLXVBlank flag in xorg.conf.
I do not experience the same issue when booted to Windows 7, using the most recent official NVidia drivers.
I would greatly appreciate any help anyone could offer on this issue, it is quite frustrating to boot into Windows to watch videos without horizontal breaks in every frame. Thanks!

Hello. I have the same problem. Not just on Arch. I've had this problem with many distros, graphics cards, and drivers across the board. Installing the proprietary nvidia driver fixes the video tearing (vsync) issue for me. However; A) it's Linux, I don't want to use proprietary anything (otherwise I'd be on a Mac); and B) the proprietary driver will not flip my display to portrait anyway.
I basically have the same setup as Meyermagic. One GeForce 8600 GT, Two monitors (identical acers) 1680x1050 (oriented in portrait so 1050x1680 if you like), using open source Nouveau driver, created a minimal xorg file in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-nouveau.conf
Section "Module"
Load "glx"
EndSection
Section "Device"
Identifier "Nvidia card"
Driver "nouveau"
Option "GLXVBlank" "true"
EndSection
Both monitors have a refresh rate of 60Hz. I still get really bad tearing as I drag windows across the screens.
Again, I've had this issue with almost every Linux box I've built (the only time this is not even remotely an issue is on my Thinkpad T400 using the Intel graphics). I'm guessing I'm doing something wrong or I've just had bad luck because it is nearly impossible to find any support for this on any forum anywhere. Anything I do find is either a thread like this where someone asked the question and simply never got a response. Or it is some out-of-date forum that give you 10 ways to modify the xorg.conf none of which make any sense or don't work. Not to mention that xorg.conf is now depreciated anyways.
Seriously, even if there is a wiki that concisely explains in excruciating detail how to actually modify the xorg conf files then I could figure it out for myself but I can't find that anywhere which makes me feel really stupid because I know it has to be out there. If there isn't an xorg wiki or xorg.com site or something that explains how to use the thing then I'm not sure I want to live on this planet anymore.
If anyone can help in any way please do.
