Report Refresh on selecting All from Page Item

Hi,
I have a report that has the academic years as one of the page items. If we select the first entry '2004 - 2005' and then select 'All' from the page item, the data doesn't refresh.
However if we go ahead and choose any other value, for example '2006-2007' or any other entry and then select 'All' the report does refresh normally.
I've tried to search if this is a known bug, but I was unable to find any information. If any of you can help in this regard, reference to a known bug or if there's a workaround, please do let me know.
Thanks a lot in advance

Hi
Do you get any errors messages?

Remove All from Page Item

Hi!
I 've a report that does't make sense to use a date with All in the Page Item.
Can anybody tell me how can I remove <All> from the page item.
Thanks a lot,
Leila

Hi Gianluca
You are right because I did not understand. Now I do and thanks for explaining otherwise I would have continued down that path for years. :-)
Ok, what you need to do is to create a new data type within your workbook, then more than likely in conjunction with one or more analytic functions, Discoverer will create the sub-totals and totals that you want.
Here is an example that may show the principle:
You can use calculations to create new data types within your worksheet. These new types only exist within the worksheet. You can apply sorts, totals and even base other calculations on these data types.
Example Data Type:
Let’s say we want to generate a new data type called Category, and this category has three values
     High
     Middle
     Low
We want to analyze our sales and work out our top ranking customers, such that customers with:
     Sales > 9,000,000 are High
     Sales > 4,000,000 but < 9,000,000 are Middle
     Sales < 4,000,000 are Low
Basic Requirement - Syntax:
IF Sales > 9,000,000
THEN HIGH
ELSE IF Sales > 4,000,000
THEN MIDDLE
ELSE LOW
Using a CASE statement, this translates into:
CASE WHEN Sales > 9,000,000 THEN ‘High’
WHEN Sales > 4,000,000 THEN ‘Middle’
ELSE ‘Low’
END
Here's an example using DECODE:
You have been asked to create a report that combines the sizes Small and Mini into a new category called Tiny so that we report
     Large
     Medium
     Tiny – combined Small and Mini
Basic Syntax:
IF Product Size = SMALL
THEN Type = TINY
ELSE IF Product Size = MINI
THEN Type = TINY
ELSE Type = Product Size
Using a DECODE statement this translates into:
DECODE (Size, ‘SMALL’, ‘TINY’, ‘MINI’, ‘TINY’, Size)

Reports - "Derive from Page Item" Missing in APEX 3.0.1?

I installed a patch 3.0.1.
I can't find on the list of formats in report queries option:
"Derive from Page Item"
But, in help window for the list of formats I can read:
"The format attribute specifies the download format for the report query.
Report queries can be downloaded as PDF documents, Word documents (RTF
based), Excel Spreadsheets
(HTML based) or as HTML files.
To determine the download format at runtime of the application, choose
"Derive from Page Item"."
Where is "Derive from Page Item" option?
Best Regards
Daniel Kozlowski

Option "Derive from page Item" is still available in 2 places:
1. "Shared Components -> Report Queries -> Create Report Query" on last
"Create Shared Query" window.
I can choose it from "Output Format" list.
2. In report properties on "Print Attributes" tab.
I can also choose this option, from "Output Format" list.
Of course, above options still doesn't work correctly.

BI PUBLISHER : not able to select 'all' from the menu as parameter

Hi ,
I have created a report using a SQL query . i created a list of values using the following sql query :
select EDM_TRD_HDR.TRD_ID as TRD_ID
from MUREXEDM.EDM_TRD_HDR
and selected this in the menu settings in parameters .
i checked on 'can select all ' option and also on 'NULL Values passed' button.
On clicking view , i am able to see the data for the default valu of the parameter. however, when i select 'all ' from the menu , i am just getting the column headings and no data .
please reply if you are aware of this problem.
Also let me know wether we can create a view selector for a BI publisher report and are there any functionalities which can be implemented in answers and not in the publisher.

You've selected 'null value passed' so you need to write the driving query in your data model in a way that will show all values when the parameter is null:
eg
select *
from
your_table
where
(:p_paramter is null or your_column = :p_parameter)
and ...
(assuming not multi select).
With view selector, you can create conditional regions so could mimic something like that. With regards to features they are completely different products - so almost everything.

[JS][CS4] Remove all hidden page items?

Hello,
I'm trying to remove all hidden page items regardless of how many sublayers they are burried in. Is this possible? I wrote a snippet here that seems to only partly work. It removes all hidden page items unless two hidden items exist right after each other in the stacking order. Why would this be happening? Any suggestions?
for (i=0; i<doc.pageItems.length; i++){
          if (doc.pageItems[i].hidden == true){
               doc.pageItems[i].remove();
I'm new to scripting so any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Lindsay

What happens if you go from back to front? I think something like this
#target illustrator
var idoc = app.activeDocument;
for (i = idoc.pageItems.length-1; i>=0; i--){
          if (idoc.pageItems[i].hidden == true){
               idoc.pageItems[i].remove();
Worked on a trial

How can I capture the event of selecting a listbar page item?

Is there any way that I can capture the event of clicking/selecting a listbar page item (not just selecting the listbar page) from the listbar activeX control in TestStand 3.0?
I was able to populate the list bar page with items, now how do I know if a user selects any one of those items?
Thanks for your time and assistance,

I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages

I can't save previous word files I have into iWork's, I have dropped the file into pages, but it says it can't convert text, even though I have changed a selective fond from pages! Help!

Take us through this in more detail.
What is the Word file? From a PC?
What version of Word and what is the file extension?
What is it about the text that is different?
When you say fond do you mean font/typeface? If so what font, and is it on your Mac? Is there something special/different about this font?

How to refresh page after selecting value from LOV item , in a tabular form

Hi ,
I have a tabular form, which contains 2 items(columns), of type "Select List - named LoV".
Now, couple of issues here.
1.
2nd item(column) in tabular form, that LoV should get populated based user's selection value in first item LoV. So how do i refer to the value, that user selected in first item's LoV? I will have to use this reference in LoV query of my 2nd item ( on this tabular form)
2.
How can we refresh the page, when user selectes value in first item ( from LoV). As this is a tabular form, here item type is Select List, we dont have an option to pick item type as Select List with Submit. So problem is that when user selects value for item 1, refresh does not happen and item 2 LoV does not get populated as per user's selection in item 1.
Please help here. Would be really appreciated.
Thanks and Regards,
Rave.

Thanks Ben and Dan for your responses.
Ben, your solution helped me with refresh of page, as page got submitted.
This answers to my 2nd question. However, I still need to know first question, which basically is, how do i refer to the value, that user selected in first item LoV.
Issue is, I selected the value in first item LoV, it got submitted and page fot refreshed. But after page refresh, first item LoV loses its value that I had selected last time. It does not retain the selected value after refresh.
I have an unconditional process, that on every submit(refresh) of page, I set my items with their corresponding values. But problem is what do i mention there to refer to this item.
I looked in view source of my page, this item is referred as f03.
So i used "apex_application.g_f03", to set this item to its value, in my uncoditional submit process. But it did not work. I tried to refer this item as "f03" in this unconditional submit process. But still it did not help, the selected item loses its value after page refresh(submit).
Any help here would be really appreciated. Please suggest how do we refer to this item's selected value.
Thanks and Regards,
Ravi.

Report row highlight based on a page item

Is there a way to highlight a report row based on the value of a page item?
In my case I have a report where the application user requests data in a detail report using a column link in the master report. This loads an id number from my report into a page item (say :P8_ID for example). If this item is null, I want the report rows to all render normally (nothing is selected or the detail report has been closed). If there is an id in that field then I want the row containing the information about that item to highlight (its column link has been clicked selected it to bring up a detail report).
At first glance, this looks similar to Vikas solution (Change the Report row color when clicked but I am trying to make the connection between what has already been done and where I need to be.

After looking back, I discovered my value was being set after the report rendered. When I re-organized my calculations and the rest, it worked.

CASE vs DECODE - CASE with SUM and All in Page Item is non aggregable

Hi,
I'm using Discoverer 9.0.4.
After switching calculations from DECODE to CASE
I found out that case gives a non aggregable result when using a Page Item and selecting <All>.
The calculations
(SUM x) / (SUM y)
or
(x SUM) / (y SUM)
where x and y are variables, work fine with page item <All>.
But for example:
CASE WHEN 1=2 THEN 1 ELSE (SUM x) / (SUM y) END
gives non-aggregable.
The same code works with DECODE:
DECODE(1,2,1,(SUM x) / (SUM y))
and is aggregable.
Does anyone know a reason or a way to make it work with CASE?
Thanks,
Joao Noronha
P.S.: I wanted <= comparisons and CASE is the best in simplicity,
but now I know I can do it with DECODE, still looking ok using LEAST instead of ABS of the difference.

Hi there
I think therefore you have answered your own question and determined that using CASE in aggregations is not a good idea. I only threw out the two CASE options as ideas not as solutions, just in case (pardon the pun) one of these worked in your situation.
Your comment I must say that if it worked it would give a wrong result (the sum of the divisions is not the same as the division of the sums) may give the wrong answer in your case but may be correct in others. It just depends how the items in the folder have been set up. I agree though that SUM(x) / SUM(y) will more often than not give the right answer.
This discussion about DECODE vs CASE has been going on ever since Oracle introduced CASE as a means of placating a younger breed of user who needed an IF..THEN...ELSE construct and could not get their minds around the intricacies of DECODE. The DECODE is a much more reliable function than CASE because it has been around for a long time allowing Oracle plenty of opportunity to iron the bugs out of it. If I get a chance I will always use a DECODE whenever aggregations are required. However, when no aggregations are in use then I'll use CASE, simply because it's easier for users to work with.
Unfortunately, users need to work with aggregations and so I don't see any alternative to Plus users having to learn DECODE. Whenever I teach Plus I always teach the users both CASE and DECODE but point out that DECODE has fewer issues that CASE. Oh, and talking of issues, try getting the THEN and ELSE components to return a different datatype. CASE has a fit and will not compile.
Best wishes and glad you got your issue solved - you did right?

ALL in page item

Hi,
I am trying to make ALL to appear as the default on page items (i.e., after rearranging crosstab layout, I want the users to see ALL appearing in page items before they select from LOV). Thanks for your help.

As you most likely know, Disco puts the <All> option in a LOV when you have a crosstab.
Also, when you are using a simple table, it does not put the <All> option in LOVs.
What I have done in the table version, is to create a LOV manually (via Disco Admin)
ie:
select 'North' dir from dual
union
select 'South' dir from dual
union
select 'West' dir from dual
union
select 'East' dir from dual
You can also create an <All> option using this method.
However, my users also wanted the <All> to be right at the top of the LOV, so I simply made sure it was called .<All> (ie: not the period first). This sorts to the top and they were happy.

All in page items

Hi,
I created a report which contain a few page item. All the drop downs (page items) have more than one value. In one page item I can select <All> for all the values but in second page item drop down list, <All> is not present :( .
Can somebody tell me how can I add <All> in the values present in the page item drop down if i want to select all the values???
Regards,
Usman

Usman,
I don't know if your situation is exactly like mine. I had a case where as a result of my worksheet conditions, I had a page item with only one value returned for it. When you only get one value returned, Discoverer does not make that "<All>" value available. I reported this to support and they dupllicated the issue and are working with development on a possible fix. In the meantime, there is a work around, if you can manage it. If you can somehow get more than one value to show up for the page item, you can then pick that <All> value. For example, I removed my conditions so that I could get multiple values for the page item. Once you pick that <All> value for the page item and save it, it will then stay available, even after reapplying your conditions to take you back to one value. Yep - surprised me to - if you can get it in there and pick it, it will stick around. So the trick is to be able to get at least one time multiple values for the page item, pick the <All>, save that selection, and you are good to go.
So you really have the issue only if there is only 1 possible page item value today. That would be a pretty rare situation to have happen, but I guess it could.
Hope this makes some sense.

'select all' in pages 'shapes' does not work

When drawing 2-D floor plans using Pages / Shapes......the 'Select All' function does not work !
I am uisng Mountain Lion, v 10.8.3
Any help will be appreciated
Thanks
Sheldon

Hi Sheldon,
Is your document based on a Page Layout Template?
In Pages, a floor plan is more suited to a Page Layout document (which mimics a drawing app) rather than a Word Processing document.
Here is a document that I created with Template Chooser > Page Layout > Blank.
I added some Shapes and Text Boxes.
'Select All' (command a) selected everything:
I hope this helps.

How to extract custom label from page item

I´m trying to extract custom labels from a page item -a rectangle in this case-, inside a document observer:
     UIDRef pageItemRef=iCommand->GetItemList()->GetRef(0);
     InterfacePtr<IScript> script(pageItemRef,IID_ISCRIPT);
     IScriptLabel::ScriptLabelKeyValueList tags = script->GetTags();
as sugested here -> http://forums.adobe.com/thread/747080?tstart=0 but I always get script=nil
Regards

I solved.
Problem was that I was trying to get IScript interface once observer command was in kDone state -it was a delete command-.
Thus, page items did not exist anymore when I was trying to get their custom labels.
I changed it, making test during kNotDone state.
