You need to either convert these to a date in canonical format and sort based on date,
Or convert these months to number and sort based on number to have the months sorted correctly

Sort By Month Name in Crosstab report

Hi,
I have one cross tab report in which in Datapoint I have one column which shows Month Details. When I run the reports the heading of Column comes as Month Name (ie Aug, April, Dec,.....) . Can you please help me to understand how can it be done it displayed in sorted month according to Month Name (ie. Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr.......). As per one of the Thread I tried to use to_date(Column_name) but it does not work as Column name is char column and cannot be converted to date.

Sorting column name in cross tab

Hi Experts,
How to sort the column name in cross tab.Crystal is sorting alphabetically like
Apr 2013 Apr 2014 Aug 2013 Aug 2014 Dec 2013 Dec 2014 Feb 2013 Feb 2014 Jan 2013 Jan 2014............................so on
But i need result like
Jan 2013 Jan 2014 Feb 2013 Feb 2014 Apr 2013 Apr 2014 Aug 2013 Aug 2014 Dec 2013 Dec 2014
I am using crystal report 2013 version.
Kindly see the attached file

Hi Bharathiraja,
Instead of using a string field to display the month names, use a Date field as the column of the Crosstab.
You can then, highlight the column in the crosstab expert > Options > Options tab > check 'Customize group name field' > click the formula button beside 'formula' and use this code:
Totext({DATE field}, 'MMM yyyy')

How to suppress column names in SQL-report

What I want is just the data, without any column names.
COLUMN LDATE OFF;

Dynamic Column Name on Interactive Report

Hi all,
Is it possible to assign a SQL result to a Column name on an interactive report?
I have been able to do this on a standard SQL Report though the use of page items but have not had much luck with interactive reports.
Any help is appeciated.
Thanks,
Dan

could you please explain step 4 a bit more?
as with the standard report, i just created an item with SQL query with a corresponding computation with same SQL query and that works great.
i tried the same method with interactive and it did not work.
in step 4 it mentions creating a process to populate the items.
how is this done?
Thanks,
Dan

How to refer a column name in form report

Hi,
How can i refer a column name in the form report. My issue is that " I have a form report in that i have column name when i use to click the column name it should bring me to next page with the corresponding values of the column."
Here i have achieved that when i click on column name(in Page1) it brings me to next page(Page2). but in the next page(P2) i want to display(only display) the corresponding values of the selected column(Page1) but the values should not be editable and should not be in text field it should be in display only field.
So how can i write a sql query in display only souce field. Ie, how can i refer the column name in(page1) form report.

Hi Karthik
Very good morning.
I think u have column link in the first page and when u select a data in the first page and when u r moving to the next page the the corresponding data need to there is it correct.
For example You have table Employee and u have a select list in the first page contains name of the employee when u select one name and corresponding datas of the employee need to be in the second page.
So Dont clear the cache of the first page.
I the next page make the page items as display only and give the source of the all items a returning the single sql query.
If u have four items in the next page namely p2_sal, P2emp_no etc..
Then use like this
select sal from emp where emp_name=:P1_EMPNAME
Hopes this might helps you.
Thanks & Regards

Calculating a difference between two columns in a crosstab report

I have a crosstab report showing # of sales by salesperson in each of 2 years and within each of 2 categories of salesperson (old vs new). I want to create a column showing the difference between sales in 2009 and 2010 within new salespersons and then a column showing the difference between 2009 and 2010 within old salespersons. I can't figure out how to pinpoint in the variable editor the column containing 2009 sales by new agents. Any advice?

You can hard-code the formulas like this:
=Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2009)
=Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2010)
Then the variance becomes:
=Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2010) - Sum([Sales]) Where ([Year] = 2009)
The challenge with this is the years are not dynamic, but I figure I will throw this out first and see if it gets you what you want to start with.

Column Name in BI Reports

Hi,
I have about 80 reports that are running in various dashboards. Each of those reports is an Answers request.
Is there a way to find out if a particular column is being used in which report without going through each report manually?
Thanks,
rkingmdu

Hi kingmdu,
Is there a way to find out if a particular column is being used in which report without going through each report manually?No,we can find a single column from so many requests.
But we can do one thing,its simple the column you want to search gives you some clue say like example column name=customer name then definately it will exists in something named customer prefixed or suffixed table in the presentation catalog that are defined.Same way you apply it for the column your searching.
Looks simple but no other option.
Hope it helps you.
Best Wishes,
Kranthi.

Column name changed in reports

I have to do some changes on my existing report, its really a complex report with more number of columns and tables. now its really hard to fix the alias name changed by report builder automatically. any one could help me to fix this problem, means what i have alias name in query that i want to use in report.

Hi,
Could you pl clarify the Q? Do you mean that Reports Buider has automatically added an alias to a column name? This is not expected.
Or do you mean that you need to change the alias of the column without disturbing the report definition? You can alter the data model of the report using the feature "Customization at runtime using XML". For more information, refer to Chapter 16 in Publishing Reports Manual for 10g:

How to write field catelog for this requirement?
Thanks in Advance.
Rajesh.

I think in the fieldcat, at the time of declearation, you can alter the field description depending on the present month.
If present_month = January
wa_fieldcat-reptext_ddic = 'January'. " Field description
elseif present month = February.
wa_fieldcat-reptext_ddic = 'February'. " Field description
on so on.....................

Enhancement Request: Sorting column-names AND Saving Package in clipboard

Hi,
I would like to have the following features:
- Sorting with the column-names (A-Z) would be very nice like I can do in the worksheet or the columns-tab but not in the data-tab
- Saving source code of packages not only to file but to clipboard.
Thanks, Juergen

Hi Juergen,
Sorting with the column-names (A-Z) would be very nice like I can do in the worksheet or the columns-tab but not in the data-tabThat's already requested on the SQL Developer Exchange. Go vote on it there to add more weight.
Saving source code of packages not only to file but to clipboardYou can add that one as a new request, but I'd say chances are small to see this implemented.
What I do is ctrl-a (select all), then ctrl-c (copy to clipboard). If you don't like using the keyboard, you can do it through the Edit menu. Isn't that enough to satisfy everyone's needs?
Regards,
K.

Getting Column names from SQL report

I have a SQL report as follows:
select ename, dept, manager
from emp;
I need to be able to dynamically access the column names being displayed inside APEX so I can use in a List of Values. I can't use all_tab_columns. Is there an internal APEX table/view that I can accxess that will give me all of the columns that are eing displayed in a SQL report?

Hi Bob,
Try this -
1) Give your report region a static id
2) Use the following query -
select
heading d,
column_alias r
from
apex_application_page_rpt_cols
where region_id = 'FOO';Obviously change 'FOO' to match your region id, and look at the different columns available in the apex_application_page_rpt_cols view to see what best suits you.
The APEX dictionary rocks ;)
Hope this helps,
John.

I am unable to get order by column name in oracle report parameter form

i created query like following in query builder
SELECT CASE_NO, COURT_ID, CASE_TYPE,
INITCAP(PLAINTIFF) PLAINTIFF,INITCAP( DEFENDENT) DEFENDENT,
INITCAP(COUNSEL) COUNSEL, START_DATE, PREVIOUS_HEARING_DATE,
NEXT_HEARING_DATE,INITCAP( DESCRIPTION) DESCRIPTION,

FROM L_CASE_MASTER_MAIN
WHERE to_char(NEXT_HEARING_DATE,'DD-MON-YYYY')=:P_NHD ORDER BY :P_COL
and i created parameter form for these two bind variables :P_NHD,:P_COL
in,:P_COL i wrote lov as Select trim(COLUMN_NAME) from user_tab_columns where table_name='L_CASE_MASTER_MAIN' to get all the columns.
in parameter form i am able to get all the columns but when i am generating report it is not giving results as per my ordered column.
kindly let me know the solution
Report Version :Oracle Reports 11g

Hi,
Ordering the column first takes place from the Data Model Itself.
Please Check your column ordering in the report data model. If it is not ordered in a right way then Rearrange it.
Remove your order by in query...
If any issues... let me know

LOV of column names with a report's custom column headings?

I have a list ov values definition that looks like this:
select column_name d, column_name r from all_tab_columns where table_name = 'DATABASE_LIST'
I'd like to list the custom column headings from a report as d, rather than repeating the column_name. How can I do this?

As Anton said, the best thing is to store your custom headings in a table so that you can use the table for your LOV as well as for your report headings.
To use dynamic report headings, you can use the 'PL/SQL function body returning colon-delimited headings' feature on the Report Attributes page.
So, if your report headings are stored in table t that function body can be
declare
l_headings varchar2(4000)
begin
for rec in (select heading from t) loop
l_headings := l_headings||':'||rec.heading;
end loop;
return ltrim(l_heading,':');
end;Hope this helps.

Repeated column headers in Crosstab report when exported to Excel

I have created a Cross tab report and wanted to export it in the format "Microsoft Excel(97-2003) (*.xls)", as the formatting of the report is lost in Excel Data Only format. But when I export the data the column headers are repeated in the Excel. Is there any solution to avoid repeated column headers without losing the formatting of layout?

I suppose one answer we should have before anything else;
Does the export work from the CR designer?
