Report Row Template: Column condition

In a classic report using a Generic Column template, one can use the Column Condition attribute to conditionally render the column.
But when using a named column (row template), even though the Builder allows one to specify this condition, it doesn't appear to be used.
So how would one implement conditional column display in these templates?
Thanks

Hi,
That's actually easier. See: [http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=267:60]
The SQL for both reports is:
SELECT EMPNO, ENAME, NVL(SAL,0) SAL, NVL(COMM,0) COMM
FROM EMP
ORDER BY EMPNOThe SAL and COMM columns have been formatted using:
999G999G999G999G990D00For the Row Template, the Row Template 1 setting contains an empty space (you have to have something in there otherwise Apex adds back in a default row containing five cells!). The condition for this is:
TO_NUMBER('#COMM#','999G999G999G999G990D00') < 100The template will see the data as a string, so we use the same number format to convert that string back into a number and compare this to 100. If we didn't use formatting on the numbers and we are sure that every row contained a number (hence the use of NVL()), then you could use:
#COMM# < 100Row Template 2 contains the format for the rows that need displaying:
<tr>
<td class="t18Data">#1#</td>
<td class="t18Data">#2#</td>
<td class="t18Data" style="text-align:right">#3#</td>
<td class="t18Data" style="text-align:right">#4#</td>
</tr>and is unconditional.
The only other settings on the Row Template are the Before Rows:
<table class="t18Standard" style="border-collapse:collapse; border:1px solid black;">
<tr>
<th class="t18ReportHeader">Empno</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader">Ename</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader" style="text-align:right">Sal</th>
<th class="t18ReportHeader" style="text-align:right">Comm</th>
</tr>and After Rows:
</table>Of course, you will note that the record counters at the bottom still show the number of records in both reports - as the SQL still outputs the same data, this doesn't change.

Custom report row template

Few questions when using a custom report row template. Followup to the discussion Report Row Template: Column condition
1. The row template allows full control how the entire row is rendered. I can see this being used when the report query returns a single row and we need to format it in a very specific way. But when the query returns multiple rows, how is the specified Row Template used? i.e the first row is "consumed" and rendered as per the template. If the same process is repeated for subsequent rows, how can we control whether successive rows are rendered across the page (left to right) or down the page (top to bottom)?
2. When a custom row template is used to render a tabular form, the hidden columns (marked Edit=Y, Show=N on Report Attributes) are present in the markup even when they are not specified in the row template! i.e. the MRU process works. Of course, this is a good thing but I was curious to know what exactly controls this, what part of the report template controls where the hidden form elements are placed?
3. Any number/date formatting specified declaratively on the Column Attributes page appears to be taken into account when column values are substituted in the template using #COL# notation. But all the other Column Attributes are ignored (alignment, sum, show, link, etc). Is there a way to use the Link attribute to declaratively specify the link so the value of the column #COL# as seen by the report template includes the A tag?
Thanks

Report Row Template - header

Hi
I have made a custom "Report Row Template". I have write the "header" direct in the html code. Is that a problem if i want to translate the application? Is there a way how to use the headers from the apex?
Best Regrads
Jesper Vels

Hello Jesper,
OK, I can see now what you are trying to do. Unfortunately, the only similar example I'm familiar with - http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:108 – Is also using hard coded text for the headings.
I can show you how to get to these headings, and how to use them on your template, but I'm afraid this is not a generic solution, as I couldn't find an active substitution string for the column headers.
As there isn't any variables to hold these column names, we need to define our own. You can do that using an application items or hidden page items. Let's say I defined three hidden items on my report page: P1_HD1, P1_HD2, P1_HD3. Each item will be defined with Source Type of SQL Query, and Source Use of "Only when …". The Source Value for the first item will be as follow:
select heading
from FLOWS_020200.APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_RPT_COLS
where APPLICATION_ID=:APP_ID and
       PAGE_ID=:APP_PAGE_ID and
       DISPLAY_SEQUENCE = 1;The DISPLAY_SEQUENCE should change according to the sequence of the column.
If you choose to use an application items, you'll need to use a before header computation on your report page, with the same query, to populate the application items.
In order to use these items in the report template, we need to use the "&P1_HD1." notation. You can have something like this, for the first header in your report query:
<tr><td>&P1_HD1.: </td><td>#1#</td>   . . .Hope this helps,
Arie.

Hyperion Reports - Row and Column templates

<p>Sorry if this may be a bit basic but we are new to Hyperionreports. Currently we are going through a redesign process and washoping to get some viewpoints on the benefits of using row andcolumn templates within reports. I am looking at this option butgetting frustrated by the limitations around formatting, etc</p><p> </p><p>Are there any views out there on the preferred options. We havea particular style in design we need to include which is becomingdifficult when we use row and column templates</p>

it may also worth cross checking below form doc:
a.If your row and column template contains formulas with external references (for
example, to cells outside of the selected row and column template), you are prompted
to modify those formulas before saving the row or column template.
Note: You can save a row and column template that contains cell formulas, as these can
be discarded. For more information, see step 9.c on page 115.
b. If a secondary database connection was specified within the row and column template,
a dialog box displays prompting you to continue saving the template. If you save the
template, the secondary database connection you specified in the row and column
template is discarded. The primary database connection is then used for the row and
column template.
c. If unsupported properties are found, an Information dialog box presents a list of
properties to discard before saving the template. For example, if the row and column
template contains a cell formula, you can choose to save the template without the
formula or not save the template.

Report - row template or custom? (pics!)

Hi all. I have a report that is using a column report template (CURRENT).
I would like to know what you think is the best way to change the report to look like the FUTURE picture (edited in mspaint). A row template? A custom template? A pl/sql procedure?

Apex 3.0 to 3.2, Updateable Reports & Row Selector Column?

Good afternoon,
(I searched the forum for both of these topics but didn't find an answer, it may be there and I missed it. If so, just point me in the right direction if you don't mind.)
We just upgraded from 3.0.1.00.07 to 3.2.0.00.27.
In 3.0 there was the option to select 'SQL Query (updateable report)' as a report type. I don't see that available now. What am I doing wrong?
Also in 3.0, I would add a Row Selector column to a report by selecting 'SQL Query (updateable report)' as a report type, then clicking Row Selector in a side region to the right to add a row selector column, then I would change the report type back to SQL Query and the row selector column would remain. In 3.2 how do I get a row selector column added to a report?
Thx, Tony

But, yes, it can be installed with Forms & Reports Standalone. The http server with F&R ships with modplsql; that's all you need. Just configure a DAD as described in the documentation for setting it up with App Server.

Rotate Report - Rows into Columns

Hope someone can help me with a SQL script that can turn a report 90 degrees so the row data becomes columns
eg
Select Month, Cost, Discount
from Customer_Table

Jul 08 $47 $3
Aug 08 $87 $8
Should look like this
Month Jun 08 Jul 08 Aug 08
Cost $34 $47 $87

'#4' is null, '#4#' is null and '#DOCUMENT#' is null. Without effect. Only "Row Template 1" is showing.

Hi,
null in conditions would return no value rather than 'null' - you can catch this by using an empty string - so:
'#4#' = ''Andy

I am sure this has been discussed here before. Search the forum...good luck.It is possible using a template, and it has been discussed many times...
The trick is to combine classTyler's conditional <tt>class</tt> technique with a custom named column report template.
Determine a class for the row in the query:
select

        , ename
        , sal
        , case
            when sal < 1000 then 'low'

            when sal > 2000 then 'high'
          end sal_class
from
          empCreate a custom named column report template, referencing the class in the row template:
<tr class="#SAL_CLASS#"><td>#EMPNO#</td><td>#ENAME#</td><td>#SAL#</td></tr>Then create a style sheet to apply the required backgrounds:
tr.low td { background-color: yellow; }
tr.medium td { background-color: white; }
tr.high td { background-color: red; }

Report Template - NULL in Row Template Condition

I just found a workaround, but,
in a report template, in a Row Template # Condition, based on a PL/SQL expression, the condition always fails if/when #COLUMN_VALUE# was NULL.
I worked around this with a NVL in the query - but, is there a better way?
I want the column highlighted when the value is null - to point out where values need to be entered - i.e. when the record needs to be updated.
THanks - Karen

Ok, I have since found out that the setting to make a report template
available in the Based on > Visualization templates is in the
'package.xml' file for each report. The value that needs to be changed
is <IsQueryParameterized>0</IsQueryParameterized> and change the 0 to 1.

Row and Column Template in Hyperion Reporting

Hi
Whenver I am trying to save a column of a report as a template , it is giving an error :
"The selected columns contain one or more of the items below that cannot be included in templates:
Invalid Input "
I am not sure what does this mean. Though I have already deselected the "Link to Source Object". Can anyone suggest ?

Sorting on columns with templated Report -- Named Column (row template)

Hi forum,
I'm trying to duplicate a regular report's column sorting functionality in a "Named Column" report.
The column headers are in the "Before first and after last row text" "Before Rows" area of the template :
<th onClick="sortByColumn('#REGION_ID#',5)">Frequency</th>invoking this javascript:
function sortByColumn(regionId,colNo) {
var u = "f?p=124:401:&SESSION.:fsp_sort_" + colNo + "::RP&fsp_region_id="+regionId.substring(1);
document.location.href=u;
}I'd like to sort descending when a user clicks the column again, and to display the column sort arrows (up/down).
However, since sorting is persisted per user, even when the page's cache is cleared, it would be necessary to pick up the sort column and order (ascending,descending) on page load or query it later using ajax, so that the sort display (the arrows) stays in synch with the actual sort.
Has anyone got an idea how to do this?
Cheers

Conditional display in the row template!

Hi,
I created a report template and my report shows like this:
col1 col2 col3 col4 col5
a 4 5 6 7
b 4 8 7 2
Total 8 13 13 9
I am able to display all the above, but the column name should be "Total" at the end of the report when i am displaying the totals. totals also coming from the database, so i am not calculating here.
Shall i put any condition saying that if the col1 is null then col1 should display "Total".
Please suggest.
Thank you.
