What is data format "Hypertext Link" in column properties??

Hi,
What is data format "Hypertext Link" in column properties? How to use it?
Can I use column value to navigate to other report without using "Value Interaction" in column properties.

By changing the data format to say HTML, or Hypertext link, you can add HTML content/HTML tags within the column formula.
You can create a column formula that would resolve into a dynamic hyperlink and pass parameters by using Go Url. Check out Chapter 11 in the Oracle® Business Intelligence Presentation Services Administration Guide
Check out an example:

Data Format - Hypertext link

Is it possible to format a column as a hypertext link but pull the url from a different column? for example I have a 2 column table, column 1 is the name of an XLS file I have saved on the file system of the server column 2 is a URL link to the spreadsheet. I would rather not render the URL link column in the Answers Report. I would like to be able to render the spreadsheet column that has a hypertext link to the address in column 2. If that is not possible I would like to be able to change column 2 from showing the URL to static text like "Click Here". I tried using the Custom Text Format option using the html that you see(grayed out) when you choose Hypertext Link @[html]"<a href=""@H"">"@"</a>" then changing it to @[html]"<a href=""@H"">"Click Here"</a>" but the link doesn't work. Is there a way to do this either with what I have described or with some other approach?

Implicit date format conversion of report column

Hello,
The following expression defines date format for report column implicitly and doesn't reflect FSP_LANGUAGE_PREFERENCE with language independent format mask of the column attribute anymore:
decode(end_date, to_date('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) closed
end_date is of TIMESTAMP(0) WITH LOCAL TIME ZONE type, format mask of the column attribute: DS TS
Is it expected behavior?
Thanks

ThanksThe reason might be that you compare different datatypes in the SQL statement. The output of decode depends on those parameters.
You can cast the column to a specific datatype or you make sure that your wanted datatype is used during the decode.
example
decode(end_date, to_timestamp_tz('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) closed
or
cast(decode(end_date, to_date('31.12.2047', 'dd.mm.yyyy'), null, end_date) as timestamp(0) with local time zone) closed

Modify DATE format only for a column

DB table has two or more columns of DATE type of which a column representing "Date of Birth" should not be of the format of TIMESTAMP . When queried it should return "mm/dd/yyyy" format without 'hh:mm:ss' . The others should be as usual.
This is to ensure no changes in the applications querying this columns
Any hints appreciated
Thanks

It depends on NLS_DATE_FORMAT and NLS_TIMESTAMP_FORMAT that is set in the database or session and the datatye used in the table, here is an example:-

How to set correct date format in OAF when column is Varchar2

All,
We have used personalization to render a couple of fields in OAF and these fields are date fields. However, these fields point to attribute fields which are defined as varchar2 in the VO. We would prefer not to extend the VO to change the data type to date.....what else can be done?
See...what is happening is, upon navigating to the fields and you select a date (using the calender), the format is dd-mon-yyyy, however, if the page is either refreshed or some other page event, the format reverts to yyyy-dd-mm and we then get a form validation error.
While we have a preference not to extend VO, I will entertain any suggestions/solutions. Thanks.

Hi,
Thanks a lot and thanks for your time and good solution.
This the syntax is used for Date datatype :<?format-date:CREATION_DATE;' MON- YY'?>
and for varchar data type <?concat(' ',/XLAAARPT/P_PERIOD_FROM)?>.
Thanks & Regards

Data format in rows and columns

I have a table and have the following data,I need to transpose int he required form.
The number of rows are dynamic and i dont want decode and string concatenation.
1     Tamil     1     1000
2     English     2     2000
3     Hindi     3     3000
4     German     4     4000
5     Telugu     5     5000
o/p
tamil english hindi german telegu
1 2 3 4 5
1000 2000 3000 4000 5000
The first column values will become the heading and all other corresponsing rows will become the column values
Kindly reply ,,Thaks in advance

how about this
assuming you've implemented the stragg function (see ask tom if not)
of course you can always use sys connect by path to roll the column values up into a single entry.
anyway use stragg or sys connect by path to get all the colum values into a single entry seperated by commas
col1 col2 col3
Tamil,English,Hindi,German,Telugu 1,2,3,4,5 1000,2000,3000,4000,5000
next I used the model clause to take the three columns one row construct
and change it to one column 3 rows so now the result set looks like this
col1
Tamil,English,Hindi,German,Telugu
1,2,3,4,5
1000,2000,3000,4000,5000
finally I appended a comma to the end of each row and parsed through it pulling out the text between columns
here is the whole thing...... again for this to work you need to have implemented the stragg function else you'll have to change to sys connect by path.
select col4 StraggedValues,
substr (col4, 1, instr(col4,',',1) -1) col1,
substr (col4, instr(col4,',',1)+1, instr(col4,',',1,2) - instr(col4,',',1)-1) col2,

Column data formatting in OBIEE ANSWERS

Hi,
I have a requirement of putting '-' whenever column value is NULL. I am doing this ANSWERS. I am doing this by using the below.
IFNULL(CAST("COLUMN NAME" AS CHAR),'-').
It is correctly replacing by '-' whenever data is NULL but it is also overriding default data format as Treat Text As(custom Text Format) if you look at the data format tab in the column properties. So if column has data like 23.1 it is displaying as 23.123456667777.
But I want to overwrite custom text format as number format to show as 23.1.
Please help me on this.
Thanks,
SRK

I have made a solution for you :
http://gerardnico.com/weblog/2009/04/09/how-to-mix-string-and-number-data-type-in-one-column-and-get-a-sum/

Date Format in received column

Hi guys, does anybody knows how to change the date format of the received column of the mails in the messenger express (6.1).
We speak spanish and we usually use the date in this format dd/mm/yyyy.
Thanks sincerely,
Andr�s.

That should be one of the things under "settings". I dont' have a Spanish version handy to check, though.

Date Format for Spry data set sort

Hi
Just feeling my way through the use of Spry Datasets for the
first time and have a couple of issues hopefully someone with more
knowledge of it than me know the answer to.
I had an issue with my Spry Dataset initially that it would
not work in ie7 but was OK in FF3.
After some mucking round I realised the error I was getting -
albeit obscure in IE was telling me it was a date format issue in
my data set.
The db data I am playing with here is fairly simple: I have a
couple of text fields, an integer field that contains the
unixtimestamp of the entry (its a simple diary application) and a
formal date field that holds the same date in mysql's date format.
When I display the date in the dataset I do so in the format
"23rd May 2009" (as an example)- I code this using phps date
function in my xml query.
I had set this field to date format in the Spry dataset
conditions but IE seems to barf on this- I can change it to
textstring but then my sort is done on Alpha/Numeric sort of the
first character in the date field which is rubbish.
I only display the date in this format and one of the other
text fields in my dataset- the unixdate is for programmatic
purposes not general display so I cannot sort on this field if its
invisible. How can I acheive a date based sort with this set up- or
what date formats does Spry code prefer for date sorts? (My client
wants the date to show as I have explained). Many thanks. I have a
second query which I will post separately!

You can take a look at this page:
http://visual.unipv.it/tmt_calendar/admin/reports/events.cfm
Even if all the dates here are incidentally using the
yyyy-mm-dd format, the
dataset display the date from the "start_date_formatted"
field:
<td><a href="javascript:"
onclick="showUpdate('{event_id}')">{start_date_formatted}</a></td>
But uses another field to sort the table:
<th scope="col" spry:sort="start_date">Start
date</th>
You can have the same date, using two different formats,
inside two,
separated dataset fields. One is used for display, the other
one is used for
sort.
You may try to read again my previous explanations, look at
the code in the
page above and see if you get the idea.

Date Format Display on report

Is there a way to set a custom date format on a report column? I am trying to use a format mask and it doesn't appear to be working. Maybe someone can spot my mistake:
Query: Hours Worked = Clock_IN - Clock_OUT
Format mask for Clock In/Clock Out - DD-MON-YYYY HH24:MI (from list)
Format mask for Hours Worked column: HH:MI (hand typed)
actual display (Timecard ID is edit link):

How to check the date in the date format

Thanks..Ask your source what the date format is. If it is constantly changing then the format needs to be transmitted also.
Imagine a string (that could represent a date) like this:
10-01-11
it could mean:
10th of January 2011
1st of October 2011
11th of January 2010
1st of November 2011
11th of October 2001 (highly unlikly but still possible).
How should an automated system decide which is the correct date? You need to establish a rule that includes a date format and therefore returns the correct value. Or even better: Deal with dates, not with strings. This is especially for those Java/VB programmers who have no real clue what a data type is ment for.

How to change date format for prentation variable

Hi experts
In my prompt the date format is MM/DD/YYYY . I have created one presentation variable for that but i want to use this in Formula as well in Title as: DD-MON-YY
So how can i achieve it..
Thanks in advance
Regards
Frnds

Hi
i think this can't be done through any code like oracle uses to_char, to_date function.
Just follow this
http://oraclebizint.wordpress.com/2007/12/19/oracle-bi-ee-101332-dates-dates-and-dates/
With this, wherever you have this column, you will be getting this format dates..
if you don't want in reports you can change it by mentioning the data format for that paricular column in report, but for the same column, if you want different format at different places (for prompts), you can't do that..

Date format in the file datastore

Hi,
I have source as file, in which I have date column. While creating the file datastore, I have selected the datatype as date & have given the source date format in the format column and it is working fine.
But I have source file coming with different date formats for the same column.
My question is whether i can give multiple date formats in the format column??
1. If yes how to separate the formats i.e with comma or semi-colon or etc...
2. If No, thn how to achieve it. as I can use to_date function, but in that also I have to give all the date formats.

Assuming Oracle is target database..
Try this...
1. In your file data store make the column as Varchar2
2. In the interface mapping -- specify the following string in the target column mapping
TO_DATE(REPLACE('2011-06-01','-',''),'YYYYMMDD')
If your target column is date, Oracle will convert database proper format and insert the date..
Hope this works out....
Thanks
