Width of Columns in a report

Hi
I have a input ready query in the web template when the width of the column increases based on the lenght of the input cell. Is there an option to freeze the size of the column to always have the same width.
Thanks
Rashmi.

Hi,
there is another way to manipulate rows via a modification of table item.
The module is com.sap.ip.bi.rig.ColumnWidth
Please check the following Link

How to fix Width of column in classic report.
Thanks

Hi,
I'm working an example in APEX 4.2 so YMMV (your milage may vary!).
For Classic Reports, where the Column Attributes "Display As" is set to Display as Text (escape special characters ...:
1) I find that Column width and Element Width setting have no effect to make the column smaller or larger.
2) Here is one way that works:
- In the Region's Region Definition, under Attributes give the Static ID a name (no spaces), say, class-report.
- In the columns you want to affect, place "<div>#ENAME#</div>" in the columns Column Formatting "HTML Expression". Where "ENAME" here is the actual column name.
I'm using the EMP table as an example.
- Finally, in the page's HTML Header put, for example
<style>
#classic-report td.data[headers="ENAME"] div {
width: 200px;
color: blue;
#classic-report td.data[headers="JOB"] div {
width: 50px;
white-space: nowrap;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>This makes the ENAME column wider and the JOB column smaller and wraps it.
Much more could be said. If you tweak you will find you can also affect spacing above, below and right/left of the data.
#classic-report .report-standard th.header {
border-left: #9fa0a0 1px solid;
padding: 2px 3px 4px 5px; /* top right bottom left margins */
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: bold;
vertical-align: bottom;
#classic-report .report-standard td.data {
border-left: #9fa0a0 1px solid;
padding: 3px 4px 5px 6px;
font-size: 9px;
}Does this help?

SSRS 2005 - Dynamically control the width of columns in Matrix report or Hide any column

Hi All,
I just want to hide some column without having white space in Matrix report in SSRS 2005. Although I am aware of that perhaps this feature is not available on SSRS 2005. So, I just want to know if we can handle the width of column dynamically(using expressions)
in matrix report?
Please help. Thanks in Advance.
Regards
Kumud

Hi Kumud,
Based on my test, SSRS is not support column dynamically width. It has property “CanGrow” of text box. If we configure the property to True, it will wraps to next line if needed. In SSRS 2008, we can hide some columns without white space. If possible, I
recommend you update your SSRS 2005 to SSRS 2008.
There is a similar issue, you can refer to it.

Need to fix the width of a column in interactive report

Hi,
I have a column named 'Comment'. Its have a huge data due to which the lenght of that column in interactive report get increased. I need to fix the length to a desired value.
I used following code in Region Footer:
<style>
table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers=COMMENTS] {
_width: 300px;
min-width: 50px;
max-width: 300px }
</style>
Its solved the problem by fixing the width of the column but the column is not showing the full data now. It is hiding most of its part to fit it in that column.
Please give some idea.
Thanks,
Chandru

Hi,
I believe you will want to add a height specification to allow for multiple lines. And you may want/need to specifiy how you want lines to wrap.
Add (for example):
height: 60px;
white-space: nowrap;
word-wrap: break-word;
There are defaults and several options for white-space and word-wrap. You may want to look them up and give them a try for comparison.

Adjust the width of a column in a report.

Hi,
How can we adjust the width of a column in a report.
We have a report with around 10 columns.
out of the 10 columns 1 column has a width of 500 char..
we want to display only the first 150 chars of that column with 50 char on first line,next 50 on second line and last 50 on third line.
i have tried using the the substr and <br> in the region source but it takes 3 lines by default even if it is not of 150 chars .I want to display it in 3 columns if it of 100+ chars.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Using the col tag is the more proper way of fixing the width of a column.
If you don't want to use the col tag, you should change your expression to:
<table style="width:500px">
Firstly, you should use the unit of length (ie, "px") for any non-zero value and secondly because we are being encouraged to use the style attribute whenever possible as, as I understand it, this will become the standard.

Display BLOB (image) column in (interactive) report

Hi,
I have a field called "picture" in my table "details" which is of type BLOB. i also have a field for "MIMETYPE" and "filename"
i additionally have a "name" and "description" columns which i need to display along with the picture as columns in a report (preferably interactive).
i have also modified the BLOB display format as per
http://www.oracle.com/webfolder/technetwork/tutorials/obe/db/apex/r31/apex31nf/apex31blob.htm
what i am missing is the correct query. if possible, i would like to control the size of the picture rendered within the report like say 40*50.
I have also referred to the thread
APEX 3.1 Display BLOB Image
But i don't know how to place the
dbms_lob.getlength("BLOB_CONTENT") as "BLOB_CONTENT"
in my query.
The above also makes the report column as of type "number". is this expected?
Any help would be much appreciated.
Regards,
Ramakrishnan

You haven't actually said what the problem is?

        , dbms_lob.getlength(picture) picture
from
          details
if possible, i would like to control the size of the picture rendered within the report like say 40*50.For images close to this size it's easy to do this for declarative BLOB images in interactive reports using CSS. Add a style sheet with:
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td[headers="PICTURE"] img {
display: block;
width: 40px;
border: 1px solid #999;
padding: 4px;
background: #f6f6f6;
}where the <tt>PICTURE</tt> value in the attribute selector is the table header ID of the image column. Setting only one dimension (in this case the width) scales the image with the correct aspect ratio. (The border, padding and background properties are just eye candy...)
However, scaling large images in the browser this way is a huge waste of bandwidth and produces poorer quality images than creating proper scaled down versions using image tools. For improved performance and image quality, and where you require image-specific scaling you can use the database ORDImage object to produce thumbnail and preview versions automatically, as described in this blog post.

How do I change the width of column "rating"

all columns are variable in widht. but not "rating" (stars). How do I change the width of column "rating"?

Hi Emkaha,
By the way the column "last played" can be reduced to a size which display the date "incorrect" as well (you'll see only the first number of the date which wouldn't make any sense too, but it is possible).
True, but if you see date of "1" you will know you are not seeing a full date. If you see 2 stars, it is a valid value, even if it is not correct. At least, that is my supposition about why it is designed the way it is.
Having said that, the extra width in the German version -- the Wertung column is wider than needed for 5 stars -- does seem odd. In the English version for Windows PC, the Rating width is just enough for 5 stars. You can report this to Apple via the iTunes Feedback page.

Building dynamic columns in BO Report (BO 4.0)

Hi All
To start with I am new to BO and using reporting tool
I have a requirement to create a WEBI report which contain a table with a feature to hide / remove columns based on input selection. ( dynamic columns)
I tried to do this by following concept
In my test scenario table has 3 columns. user will select which columns to show when refreshing the report.
I created 4 tables .
table 1: column 1, column 2 and colum 3
table 2: column 1, column 2
table 3: column 1, column 3
table 4: column 2, column 3
all tables were overlapped in display.
I am trying to hide the table using the property which is available in table properties "Hide when following formula is true"
to display table 1: formula is as follows
=UserResponse("Enter Column") = "column1;column2;column3"
The problem doing this way is
1. selection should happen in a given order
2. If there are mulitple columns , it doesn't make sense to create multiple tables as combination of columns increases.
Is there a better formula to set using user response to achieve the above.
Is there any better way to achieve the above generally.
any suggestion and guidance will be appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello Guruprasad,
PFB link to a good explanation how to display columns dynamically.
http://blog.davidg.com.au/2011/09/dynamic-measures-in-webi-on-any-data.html
hide formula for different tables will not be easy when you have more number of columns.
another option is conditional formatting of columns based on a variable value. ie, indirectly hiding it by making background and value color white and keeping dynamic width for column.

Field Widths and Column Formatting

What is used in java to format field widths and Columns in Java when outputting to the command line?
I know in C++ you use setw and setprecision, buy what do I use for Java?

Yes. The APEX templates use stylesheets to render your reports. APEX also provides a STYLE attribute under each report column that you can plug in in-line style values to force you text to align=top and so on. You can manipulate your format that way, or through the more difficult alternative of actually altering the CSS and/or the report region templates that APEX uses. [this requires a working knowledge that is way beyond adding style="xxxx" to a report column]

The Record Sort Expert appears when you choose the Record Sort Expert command from the Report menu.
Use the Record Sort Expert to define how you want the records in your report to be sorted for printing. You can add and remove a sort field and define the sort direction (ascending or descending) for the data in your report.
In my version Record Sort appears as a A over a Z with Arrows pointing from A to Z, and Z to A. It is next to group expert, which looks like a mountain with an arrow pointing up. Both are on the "Expert" tool bar.

As far as i know you can't do this,the option you have is to create one more column (subtotal) and populate it by manual calculation at every subtotal (not alv subtotal but yours) .
