Sorting a KF in report

Hi,
I have a report where I need the report to be sorted on a KF when the report is loaded FIRST TIME.
Please let me know how to acheive that ?

Hi rvn,
One way to do that is to create a condition using TOP N and use a very big data value in N, like 999,999,999. If you use TOP N, then the report will be sorted on this KF in Descending order on the execution of the query.
Or you can also set the property in the workbook and save it.
Hope this helps...

Sorting in Blocked ALV Report

Hi Experts,
Can i achieve sorting in Blocked ALV report as we can do in ALV Grid Display.???
If so, how can this be achieved????
For example, if there are 3 records with the same value for a field.....say thfreee rows with name 'Gaurav'.
I want to show 'Gaurav' only in the first row and the other two rows must be empty.
Gaurav 1 2 3
Gaurav 4 5 6
Gaurav 7 8 9
Should be seen as
Gaurav 1 2 3
           4 5 6
           7 8 9
Thanks and regards

Sorting images mislabeled in Report Attributes?

I added some custom images in the Sorting section of the Report Attributes. When I ran the report the images displayed were opposite of what I expected (i.e. the descending image displayed for an ascending sort and vice versa.) Upon further investigation it appears that the labels in the Sorting section are indeed reversed. The descending image is displayed when the sort order is ascending and vice versa. Is this a bug?

Erik,
Thanks, this explains it. By specifying the request as part of your URL you run into the recently uncovered issue. The request you're setting is REMFROMLIST and ADD2LIST. You probably either have links that include those requests or you have branches where you specify them. Either way, in order to get reports sorting to work, you'll have to make sure that the request strings are not part of your URL. This is a work-around and the upcoming HTML DB patch release will solve this issue.
One way of avoiding this is to have computations on the previous pages that set a napplication level or page level item to the REMFROMLIST and ADD2LIST values and then you can use those items for your conditions that are currently evaluating those strings.
Hope this helps and sorry for the inconvenience,
Marc

How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report

hello,
How can I get (using API) the current sort column for some report ? For example something like "fsp_sort_1_desc" - if the user sorts by the first column ?
I cannot use the :REQUEST for this, sometimes the current sort column is not in the :REQUEST, but it is still active.
I thought it was posssible by using
APEX_UTIL.GET_PREFERENCE (
p_preference IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT NULL,
p_user IN VARCHAR2 DEFAULT V('USER'))
RETURN VARCHAR2;
function, but I don't really know which preference should I pass as parameter.
looking in WWV_FLOW_PREFERENCES$, i saw preferences_names like FSP4000_P527_R6281510839654570_SORT , I'm not sure how this name is formed.
I'm using generic columns for that complex report (which has a flexible number of columns shown), and the idea is that sometimes I have to overwrite that sort column, in case the user chose the version of the report with fewer columns than the previous one.
Can I get (using API) a list of all preferences set for some user ?
Thank you,

seems that it is FSP<app_number>P<pagenumber>R<regionnumber>_SORT.
is there anyplace where I can get these kind of things documented ?
Thank you.

Issue with sorting in a PPR report

Hi:
I have a report based on a query that references a view whose defining query references a remote table. I have the columns of this report enabled for sorting and there is no default sort column specified
All is fine when the page containing this report is called up for the first time. The problems start once I click a column heading to sort the report by that column. The report then renders with fewer than 15 rows (the rows per page value) and hence the pagination links disappear. if I now click a different column heading then more than 15 rows are shown again. I cant say whether the truncation of the result set ihappens only when sorting by a particular column. It does appear to be random. Surprisingly, if PPR is disabled then this bizzare behaviour is not seen.
Any idea what is going on here ?

Hi Carl:
I have posted the page at apex.oracle.com. The URL is http://apex.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=23548:22
However, the problem doesnt manifiest itself here.
Further investigation on my side leads me to believe that it is the contents of one of the columns displayed by the report (column named STMT) that appears to be the culprit. I remove this column from the report and all is well. The column contents are pl-sql/SQL statements. I cant understand why the contents of the column should matter.
Thanks for your response.

Sort problem in a report

Hi,
I'm using the sort on a report with 7 columns. For each column I've specified
the sort sequence from 1 to 7. The last sort is a date field. If i sort now the
last column and i change to next report side the sort change jump to the first column.
Is there somebody who had also a problem like this?
Greets,
Tom

You can check boxes to determine which columns can be sorted; if you check one or more boxes, you also need to set the "Sort Sequence" attribute under the "Report Attributes" tab of your SQL query region. So to use sorting you must.
1. ensure you don't have an order by in your SQL statement
2. check one or more "sort" boxes
3. set the default order in one or more column in the "sort sequence" column
Hope this helps,
Mike

Sort in Cross-Tab report

I have a cross-tab report that lists dates as headers and employees as rows. The data at every cell shows the qty (it is like timesheet report). The totals are shown for every row and column. The report layout looks something like this:
----------- <date> <date> <date> .... <Total>
<name> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
<name> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
<name> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
<Total> <qty> <qty> <qty> <qty>
The report definition looks like this (I numbered the columns to make it easier to write about them):
01: <?horizontal-break-table:1?>
02: <?for-each-group@column:EMPLOYEE_TIME;./TRANSACTION_DATE?><?sort:TRANSACTION_DATE;'ascending';data-type='date'?>
03: <?TRANSACTION_DATE?>
04: <?end for-each-group?>
05: <?for-each-group:EMPLOYEE_TIME;./EMPLOYEE_NAME?><?sort:EMPLOYEE_NAME?><?variable@incontext:G1;current-group()?>
06: <?EMPLOYEE_NAME?>
07: <?for-each-group@cell://EMPLOYEE_TIME;./TRANSACTION_DATE?>
08: <?sum ($G1[(./TRANSACTION_DATE=current()/TRANSACTION_DATE)]/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
09: <?end for-each-group?>
10: <?sum ($G1/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
11: <?end for-each-group?>
12: <?variable@incontext:T;.//EMPLOYEE_TIME?>
13: <?for-each-group@cell://EMPLOYEE_TIME;./TRANSACTION_DATE?>
14: <?sum (current-group()/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
15: <?end for-each-group?>
16: <?sum ($T/TRANSACTION_QTY)?>
The XML data is not sorted in any way and the report sorts it by employee and date. As you see at the line 02 I applied the sort by the transaction date. The sort works as expected, however the actual QTY are not showing at correct cells. If I remove sort it works fine but the dates are in random order. I suspect it is because I sort transaction date at header level and the QTY is not aware about it. I tried to apply the sort at line 07 but it does not help.
Does anyone has any idea how to get this report to display data correctly?

Sorting of columns in report with values from lookup table (LOV)

Hi,
I have a report where I looku the values using a number of LOVs. I'd like to enable sorting on those columns in the report whihc works BUT the report get's sorted on the numric looku pvalue instead of the description for example COUNTRY_ID instead of COUNTRY_DESC.
I have played around with the function APEX_ITEM.ITEM_TET_FROM_LOV in my SQL query:
select ID, NAME,
APEX_ITEM.TEXT_FROM_LOV(COUNTRY_ID, 'COUNTRY_LOOKUP') COUNTRY,
from VAR
But I get the following error:
report error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 13:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "COLLECT" when expecting one of the following:
:= . ( @ % ;
ORA-06550: line 1, column 82:
PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol ";" when expecting one of the following:
. ( , % from
So I am thinking that I am doing something very wrong? Is there another way to accomplish this?
Andy

you need to use htmldb_item.text_from_lov in your query.
this will then deocde the key value to the description within the query itself and therefore allow you to do your sorting.

Dynamic sorting in Cross Tab Report

I have 2 cross tabs in a report with element linking that filters data in 2nd report when I click on values in the first. I'd like a way to be able to sort the results in the 2nd cross tab in ascending or descending order dynamically.
Please see image below (click image for better quality) for a detailed representation of the problem.
Is this possible?

Right click on crosstab and go to Crosstab Expert and in the columns click on "group options" button and in the options tab select "Use a formula as sort order" and write the condition like this
if {?Parameter}="Ascending" then
crAscendingOrder
else
crDescendingOrder
Hope this helps!

Report not initially sorted as defined by Report Attributes "Sort Sequence"

I have a Report Region with Type SQL Query and Source "SELECT * FROM <table>" where <table> has a primary key from a sequence. Under Report Attributes, I have Report Column "ST_NM" with Show and Sort checked and having a Sort Sequence of "1". I assume this is to set the iniital display sequence but regardless, the report rows display in Primary key order initially.
To try it: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=21997:2 with Dever/Ima9Dever
1) How do I set the initial display sequence to be other than the primary key sequence?
[Note: It seems to work part (or all?) of the time under our 4.1 implementation.]
Thanks,
Howard
I thought this one would be easy!

[Note: It seems to work part (or all?) of the time under our 4.1 implementation.]Standard reports store sort columns persistently across sessions as user preferences. It's likely that Dever user has at some point clicked to sort on the PK column and created a persistent preference. Try it with a new user that has never viewed the page before...

Sort function in web report using servlet

Dear all
Please help me this out. I'm doing an online report using servlet. When the report is displayed as a table on the web, is there a way to have a sort function-when you click on the tabs, it will sort the data accordingly.
If I didn't state my question clearly, please let me know.
Thank you all for your kind help!
Grace

You could probably do that using Javascript, but it's beyond my competence to even suggest how. Alternatively you could make the tabs behave as buttons that send a "sort me" request to the server, which would send out new, resorted, HTML.

Problem in specifing the intial sorting column of a report

hi
we have a report based on a table with 6 columns in our home page .we display all the six columns as sortable.
we also need to sort the contents of the report by 4th column by default when ever the user logs in ,but what happens is ,report gets sorted automatically depening upon the previous sorting column selected
is there any way of telling htmldb to sort the report by 4th column ..
many thanks

hi ,
this infotype has a interesting solution . In my case it was for US country .
We select the veteran status and this is field P0077-VETST which is stored in DB table .
Now based on this value and the molga of that pernr we need to look at the T5UVT table for the combinations avaliable for MOLGA AND VETST .
Based on the config's of this table the screen values are getting populated .
It dosent allow any combinations and the picked values are passed to the screen for fields Q0077-VETS1 VETS2 VETS3 VETS4 .

Need to sort results in a report in descending order

Hi,
We have OIM 10g and we need to sort the report on date in descending order. I tried this code but still the column is not getting sorted.
Evertime I generate the report, the results are sorted only in ascending order.
Here the stored procedure code for sorting:
strOrderByClause := 'abc.date';
IF strsortorder_in = 'DESC' THEN
intSortDirection_in := 0;
ELSE
intSortDirection_in := 1;
END IF;
Please let me know if you have faced similar issue.
Thanks,
Kalpana.

Hi,
If Oracle can give you back the right sort order without any custom sorting,
that means you should be able to get the same results in WebI.
If the object that you pull from the universe is the wrong type (like numeric but you want it alphanumeric),
then you can either request you designer to give you an object with the right data type,
or you can change it by creating a report variable using
FormatNumber([original object],"0")
this will format the number to a number without leading zeroes, thousand separators or decimal point.
Now you can use the object as if it came from the universe.
So you can also use it on the x-axis of a chart.
Btw. you can also do a custom sort on the x-axis(as long as it is an object or variable, not a formula)
alternative, if you define a custom sort in a table block, you can state it should be used througout the document.
(so also in the charts.
Hope this helps,
Marianne
