Report painter - Choosing column heading text

Hi SDN
I'm having a specific problem with getting the right column heading text into my G/L report painter report created in FGI2/FGI5. In the report painter form I have created the three texts for my column (short, medium and long text). In order for the heading to be meaningful I need the report to show the medium or long text. This is also the case when I run the report as object type Object list. Here the medium text is displayed. However, when I run the report as a Classic drilldown report or a Graphical report output the short column heading text is shown.
Now, I know from running the standard report 0SAPBLNCE-01 in FGI0 that it is possible to have the long column header text shown in the report, so I'm not willing to give up. But can any of you guys help me on how to make the report show the correct text?

Hi Anna and thanks for your suggestion. I have tried changing the header text length in the form as you suggested, but it does not seem to affect the display in neither of the three output types of the report. I assume that there must be a way to control the text header length specifically for each of the three output types. But how....

  • Restricted Key Figure Column heading text missing

    Hello,
    I created a restricted Key Figure in a BEX report and dragged this RKF into the columns tab. when i execute the report , the column header text for the restricted key figure is missing. The values are fine, but the header column text  for that KF is missing. any help?
    Thanks
    justin

    Hi Justine...
    I think u r doing something wrong..........Either u can create Global Restricted Key(Infoprovider level) or Local restricted ket figure(Query level)..........If u create Global........then  in the left pane............Right click on the Keyfigure >> New restricted Key figure...........to create in the Query level..........In the context menu>> choose Edit........... or select the heading of the Rows or Columns directory
    and use the right mouse button to choose New Structure..........In both the cases....there is a Description Field........u hav to write the description there............U can change the technical name also.........then save it........
    May be it is a temporary bug............just come out the query..and again reopen it......

    You can get the handle to the Detail column by using the following:
    UINode d = outerTable.getDetail();
    However, as per OAF developer guide, it is not possible to change the label for the detail column. The devloper guide has the following:
    "In accordance with BLAF guidelines, the Detail column header text for the detail disclosure column and the Show/Hide link texts within the cells of the detail disclosure column can not be modified."

  • Change Table control Column Header text dynamically

    Hi,
    I have an requirement to change table control column header text dynamically.
    i.e. I have about 10 columns in table control, out that need to change 5 columns header text. These header texts are stored in an internal table.
    I had looked into the below link but could not get exactly how to do it.
    Dynamic headers in table control
    Could you please tell me how to do that.
    Thanks in Advance.

    Hi Saba,
    What you will need to do is this.....
    1. First replace the column Header Text box by I/O Fields and name them accordingly.
    Say for example we will consider the same example which i had explained in the link.
    there in the column header we want the header to change when some dates and entered into two fields which are out of table control say
    Start Date: 01.01.2010 to End Date: 06.01.2010
    Now we want the header to look like this,
    Column  No.    -        1               2             3                  4               5               6
    Header label   -    01/FRI       02/SAT     03/SUN       04/MON     05/TUE      06/WED
    Header name -    SPOTS1   SPOTS2    SPOTS3      SPOTS4     SPOTS5    SPOTS6
    then you go as per the instructions in the link......
    Let me know if you need further help,
    Hope this solves your problem....

  • Table column header text orientation

    Hi ,
    Is it possible using UI element TABLE or ALV component SALV_WD_TABLE to set the column header text orientation to 90 Degrees?  Like in Excel if you right click on cell then go to format cells then go to alignment tab where you can set text orientation.   I looked at cl_salv_wd_column_header and did not see method to do so.
    Thanks,
    Gary

    Currently this is not possible.
    If you do have a need to display (and I would probably emphasis display ) data in an Excel like manner, then consider using the Office control and supplying a formatted XML version of an Excel file to the control - then you can use all the Excel formatting capabilities to your heart's content.

  • Report Painter - Dynamic Columns

    Dear Expert,
    I'm preparing a report painter report with cost centers as columns.
    Is there anyway I can use cost center group as variable and then the no. of columns and column texts are populated based on the no. of cost centers and cost center names exist in that cost center group?
    Thanks in advance and regards,
    Junior

    Hi
    To define anything as variable, you should have the details like - TABLE / STRUCTURE details.
    But, for any groups ( Cost element group / Cost center group) - no table / structure available

  • Table Column Header Text - Refresh Table

    Hi. A question about programmatically changing the Header Text property of a Table Component.
    I've added code, in the backing bean Setter for the Table component, to change the header text as required.
    The problem is that when the page is rendered, the header changes are not displayed initially. Only after a PPR is performed (on a different component) does the table render with my property changes displayed.
    Am I doing the header text manipulation in the wrong place? Is there a way to refresh the table programmatically prior to it rendering initially (e.g. after the RENDER_RESPONSE phase?)?
    Cheers.

    Hi Bala,
    After following your invaluable advice I now have the table displaying more or less as a I need. The labels are set correctly (from the Attribute Hint that I set in the AttrDefImpl), and the Rendered property for each column is now derived from Expression Language pointing to the same AttributeHints...
    However, I'm still struggling with the DisplayIndex for the table columns. I'm attempting to set the DisplayIndex column property using EL that gets a value from the VO binding FieldOrder control attribute (which contains a numeric value). However, this does not resolve properly and in the column Property Inspector the DisplayIndex doesn't seem to display correctly itself...
    I'm wondering if this is because the FieldOrder control attribute is a String while the DisplayIndex takes an Integer. Is there a way to perform some conversion on this in the EL itself? Or maybe that is not the problem.
    Thanks again for all your assistance!
