XL Reporter Column Question

Can somone explain the role of the selection of a Dimention in a Column as opposed to a selection in a Row. Does the "column selection" create the repetitive area for all tranasactions to be shown?
When I have Dimentions selelcted in a Row, how do I decide on which Column to apply a Dimention?
Anybody knows od any learning material about this topic?
Thank you
Robert
PS The reason for my question is that I always start designing my XLR report by applying Dimentions, Light Dimentions and Measures in a Row and I get stuck because I need to set a Dimention for a Column in order to show values for a Period

Few values of report column do not display in report while applying filter

Post Author: anuragg11
CA Forum: WebIntelligence Reporting
There are 6 drill filters applied on the report to filter out the report column data. Few values of the report are not displaying in the report when using drill filter. Same issue is with report filter too. If filters are removed then values are appearing in the report. We are using version BO XI R2 & Java runtime JRE 1.4v. It doesn't look issue is with Java version because only few specific data of the report column are not shown in the report when using filter on the data. Example: One of Report data column contains below values: 24.2, 26.9, 120.1, 230, 274.9, 275.8, 333.2 Report is displaying all these values when there is no filter on any data. But report doesn't display data when applying filter on 274.9 or 120.1 howver filter on other values 24.2, 26.9, 230, 275.8, 333.2 are working fine.

Hello,
I think i know what your problem is.
Although in table view your 2 requests combine perfectly and show separate results in pivot view BI unfortunaterly adds them up.
One work around would be to go in your criteria add in each request a dummy column. This can be obtained the following way:
1. click on a column to add it in the criteria (it doesnt matter which one)
2. go into the edit formula of that column
3. delete the formula and in its place write 'Dummy Column 1'
Do the same for the second request by adding a "Dummy Column 2'
Now the Pivot Table should also show up correctly
Let me know if it goes well or if you have any further questions,

Need help with Javascript to get value of standard report column

Hello All,
Apex version 3.1
I have a SQL Query (Updateable report) region where I need to do some validations using an OnDemand Applicaiton Process and javascript. For this validation I need to use the serial number and the item id from the same report row. The function is called when the serial number is changed. I can get the serial number easily because it is a Text field, however the item id is a standard report column (making it a text field or hidden gives me a checksum error, long story). How do I get the value for the standard report column in order to set the value for an Application item to be used in my Application Process along with the serial number? Here is my code below.
<script>
function f_ValidateSerial(pThis)
// The row in the table
var vRow = pThis.id.substr(pThis.id.indexOf('_')+1);
    //alert('Row is '+vRow);
// Display the serial number
    //alert('The Serial Number is '+html_GetElement('f21_'+vRow).value);
var get = new htmldb_Get(null,&APP_ID.,'APPLICATION_PROCESS=ValidateSerial',0);
get.add('F101_SERIAL_NUMBER',html_GetElement('f21_'+vRow).value);
get.add('F101_INVENTORY_ITEM_ID',+html_GetElement(?????+vRow).value);   // Here's where I need to get the item id to set application item!!
gReturn = get.get();
if (gReturn)
      alert(gReturn);
if(gReturn)
      html_GetElement('f21_'+vRow).value = '';
</script>

Hi,
Ok, No standard report column do not have name attribute-
You can add one extra column to report that is your Item Id with different alias.
Then change that column Display as to "Hidden".
Now you have hidden input where is your Item Id. Than input have name and id.
Regards,
JariBut this puts me back to my initial problem. When making the column hidden I get the checksum error...
Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 0, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process...
The item id is NOT in the table which I am updating (I use a subquery to get the data) so I think it has to be a standard report column. Hidden and Text Item (which have an item id) all generate the checksum error.
So I think I'm back to my original question. Given a standard report column on a row in a sql query (updateable report) region how do I get the value using Javascript?

Referencing report columns in the BLOB download link format mask

Hi there,
In a basic report (Apex 4) I have a link to download a BLOB stored in the table. However to save space, instead of using 2 columns, one for the file name and one for the download link, I want to use only one column where the file name is the download link itself.
To do this, I tried using this download link format mask (ATTACH_FILENAME is the report column that contains the file name):
DOWNLOAD:ATTACHMENTS:ATTACH_BLOB:ATTACHMENT_ID::ATTACH_MIME_TYPE:ATTACH_FILENAME:::attachment:#ATTACH_FILENAME#
However it shows #ATTACH_FILENAME# in all rows instead of the actual file name!
I know that using substitution strings (&) works, so is there a way to also reference report columns in this format mask?
Thanks
Luis

Luis, did you finally resolve this? I have the same question.

Conditional display of list box in form (depends on other report column)

Hello,
i have one question regarding conditional display in forms.
I have a tabular form where only one column ("flag") is updateable, all other columns are visible only.
I changed the column "flag" from "standard report column" to "Select list (static lov)", which has the values "yes" and "no".
This works fine. But in the running form i want to display the list box only if the column "status" = 'ERROR'.
The column "status" can have the values 'ERROR' and 'OK'.
When one record has "status" = 'OK', the column "flag" should not display the list box (only empty column row),
when one record has "status" = 'ERROR" the column "flag" should display the list box.
The idea behind is that if a record has "status" = 'ERROR' i have the possibility to confirm that "error" and update the column "flag" with "YES". This should only be possible for errors.
This is my main problem.
I tried with conditional display, but this hides or shows the column for the whole report/form, not on record level...
The second problem then is, that if the column "flag" is changed to "YES" in case of column "status" = 'ERROR', then it should not be possible to change it again to 'NO". At the beginning it is 'NO', but once changed to 'YES' it should not be changeable any more.
Is this possible?
Thank you in advance,
Matthias

Hello Mike
your solution sounds good, but unfortunately it is not working.
None of my 2 columns are displayed, although i tried it as you wrote and the conditions should match...
But i am no sure if this can work. If so, the 2 columns must fuse to 1 column:
ID STATUS FLAG
1 ERROR yes/no => comes from column1
2 OK (null => comes from column2
so "FLAG" must display column1 and column2 in one column. is that possible?
regards,
Matthias

Report Painter question (FGI1) How to limit output up to a specified period

Hello
I have a report painter question.
I am trying to create a BS report using tcode FGI1 (FALGFLEXT), that lists out the BS values by month (Jan - Dec).
But the problem I am coming across is, if I specify selection parameter 01 2008, the report also populates the same values into the unposted months ahead (Feb/Mar/April)
Something is wrong with my parameters.
Is there a way I can limit the report output up to the specified period/month?
I thought I might be able to work around this by creating a formula/variable (like in GL-SL), but it doesnt seem to be the case.
Any thoughts appreciated
regards
Ken

Period shall be included in the column characteristics. Check the variables or Values in column definition for the characteristic period.
You could either give the values of period 1 for col 1, 2 for col 2, etc
or you may use variables for period. The variables can be a formula variable with conditions.
You make the user to enter a value for the 'To period' (ZTOPRD)
The value for the variable for column 2 (Feb) shall be = 2, if ZTOPRD > or equal to 2 else, give some 17 .
This way when the user enters a value of 1in the to period, the system would default 17, for which there won't be any values.
You may extrapolate the above formula for various remaining columns of period.

Dynamic LOV based on report column

HI,
I've a standard report with Two columns. Column1 is standard Report Column and Column 2 is a LOV based on an SQL Query.
Now I need to filter the LOV (add a where clause) based on the value in the column1.
For example, consider Column1 as "country" and column2 as "state". so the in column2(LOV), user should see only the list of states belongs to the corresponding country(Column1)
Please note that the report is based on an SQL query
Any clue on how to do this.
I'm using APEX4.1.
Thanks in advance

How to (un)hide report columns based on checkboxes?

Hello,
I have a simple report that selects 4 columns from a table.
I would like to create 2 check boxes (at the report level, not at the row level) corresponding to 2 of the 4 report columns: When they are checked, the corresponding columns are visible. When they are unchecked, the corresponding columns are NOT visible.
Two questions:
1.
This would require submitting the page automatically upon (un)checking either check box. How do I do that?
2.
I have attempted to use the Conditional Display properties of the report columns with hard coded values, but they don't seem to work whether the Show property of the columns is on or off. Any idea why and how to get around it? (I am using 3.2. Could this be a bug that has been fixed in 4?)
Thanks!

Hi,
I can not find post where I have explain how sample works.But here it goes:
You need load jQuery in page template or page HTML header if you are not using Apex 4.
Create new blank page. In my case new page id is 70.
Create HTML region to new page called Columns. Use wizard defaults
Create hidden item Px_REPORT_REGION_NAME. Use wizard defaults.
In my case hidden item name is P70_REPORT_REGION_NAME .
Create computation before header for hidden item. Computation Type "Static Assigment".
In computation write name you like use to your report. My case I did write "Employee report".
Create SQL Report. In region title place your hidden item like
&P70_REPORT_REGION_NAME.In my case I did use query
SELECT *
FROM empCreate check box. In my case it is called P70_SHOW_HIDE.
Use from LOV query
SELECT heading,
display_sequence
FROM APEX_APPLICATION_PAGE_RPT_COLS
WHERE application_id = :APP_ID
AND page_id          = :APP_PAGE_ID
AND column_is_hidden = 'No'
AND region_name        = '&'||'P70_REPORT_REGION_NAME'||'.' -- Change P70_REPORT_REGION_NAME to your hidden item name
ORDER BY 2Place to report region footer
<script type="text/javascript">
function hideCol(pThis){
   var lRepId = '#report_data_#REGION_ID#';
   var lCol   = pThis.value;
   if(pThis.checked){
     $(lRepId + ' td:nth-child(' + lCol + ')').show();
     $(lRepId + ' th:nth-child(' + lCol + ')').show();
   }else{
     $(lRepId + ' th:nth-child(' + lCol + ')').hide();
     $(lRepId + ' td:nth-child(' + lCol + ')').hide();
</script>Edit checkbox item and place to HTML Form Element Attributes
CHECKED onclick="hideCol(this);"Your report template most inner table tag must have id attribute
id="report_data_#REGION_ID#"Then you have result like this

How to - link from HTML Region to Report Column?

Dear Apex gurus,
Ok, I'll go straight to my question. I have a file upload page with Report Region (conditional) which comes up after file uploading process. Under Report I have a column to delete uploaded file (column has an image in link, target in application, item name: P2_DELETE_ID and value: #DOC_ID#). Basically the Report picks up just uploaded file ID and allows me to delete the file by having Hiden Page Item (P2_DELETE_ID) and Before Header Process:
BEGIN
DELETE FROM EBA_ASSET_ORDER_TEMP_DOCS
WHERE doc_id = :P2_DELETE_ID;
END;with condition: Value in Expression 1 is Not Null, and Expression 1 set to:
P2_DELETE_IDI have and another conditional Region (which is HTML) and it comes up after file uploading process as well. The region Source is:
<div id="FinalMessage"></div>
<br />
<div ><a href="javascript:confirmFileDelete(htmldb_delete_message,'f?p=&APP_ID.:2:&SESSION.:REMOVE_ID:::P2_DELETE_ID:#DOC_ID#');"><img >src="/i/delete.gif" style="position: relative; top: 1px;"/>Remove Uploaded File</a>
</div>where id="FinalMessage" - is the Sucess/Error message from JS
and .....href="javascript:confirmFileDelete....... - is my actual question. So, I am trying to hide my Report Region and show only my HTML region where I will be able using this (.....href....) link delete file from my table. I am able to dele file using report colum link but my .....href.... link dosnt want to delete my file, doen't even want to pick up file ID. Is there a way where I can link my .....href.... link to pull from Report Column????
Thanks

Grab row id from report column

Apex 4.2
I'm having an issue pulling an ID from a report column. Here's the scenario
I have a report based on the query:
select Inspection_Name, Activation_Status, Activate, Deactivate, Activation_Date, Inspection_Sector_Id
from Inspections
where Event_Id = :P0_Event_IdThis report is based on a select list at the top of the page. The user selects an event from the select list and the report is populated. The query for the select list is:
select event_name, event_id
from Water_EventsSimple enough so far. Each row is identified by the Inspection_Sector_Id. I want to be able to turn each row under the 'Activate' and the 'Deactivate' columns into links. I have accomplished this by turning this field into a link. The link needs to navigate to a page that has that rows Inspection_Sector_Id, but am not sure how to grab that Id. I am navigating via URL on the link, i.e. f?p=application_id:page_id:session......
Hope I explained this well enough. Thanks in advance for your help

Interactive report column filters to display differently than column values

Greetings...
We use images a lot in our interactive reports to provide a visual representation to a status, or something locked for update, or what-have-you. By default, when a user clicks the column heading of a column which contains images, the drop-down list that shows up displays the actual images, which is nice for the user to identify exactly which thing they want to filter on. The problem is when the user selects on of the options in the filtering drop-down, the resulting condition that is displayed under the interactive report search bar is the HTML code of the image. I'd like something else to display there because showing the user the HTML code is atrocious.
I didn't think what I want is possible, but then I came across the Page Locks page within ApEx (page 4000:291 in ApEx 4.0.1) which displays a list of all the pages of an application and whether they are locked or not. It also allows you to bulk lock or bulk unlock a bunch of pages. That page uses an interactive report with a column called "Status" which contains images that represent whether the page is locked or not. When you click the "Status" column heading to filter, instead of seeing the images of an open and closed lock, you see the words "Page Locked" and "Page Unlocked." And even better... when you select on of them, the condition that is displayed to the user is very user-friendly.
Can someone tell me how this is done so I can replicate it in my own apps?
Shane.

Why not create the IR using the text you require e.g. 'Lock', 'Unlock' and then use JQuery to replace the text in the report with the image you want. All the filters should then show the plain text and the report will display the image. e.g.
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=46801:1
Here's what I did:
Firstly make sure the IR has a region template.
Then create a Dynamic Action with the following attributes:
1. Advanced
2. Event: After Refresh
3. Selection Type: Region
4. Region: [select the IR Region]
5. Action: Execute JS Code
6. Fire on page load: [checked]
7. Code:
$('td [headers="TEST"]').each(function(index) {
if ($(this).text() == 'Lock') {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/locked_small.gif" alt="Lock" />');
else {
$(this).empty().html('<img src="/i/htmldb/icons/unlocked_small.gif" alt="Unlock" />');
});Where TEST is the column name.
That's it, this may also be of interest:

Display an alert message through javascript when report column item is null

Hello,
I have a report column item which is an select list item and now i want to display an alert message when value is null, I mean no value is selected, this alert message should be fired when update button is clicked.
Can anyone please help me with this issue.
Thanks,
Orton

You could try something like this:
declare
x        INTEGER;
err_ct INTEGER   := 0;
begin
x := 5; -- number of rows displayed
for i in 1 ... x (
    IF wwv_flow.g_f08(i)) IS NULL THEN err_ct := err_ct + 1;
    END IF;
end loop;
IF err_ct = 0 THEN
     RETURN NULL;
ELSE
    RETURN 'Nice error message: you must supply a value.';
END IF;This would be used with a PL/SQL validation: Function Returning Error Text.

Cannot edit a field that is "Standard Report Column" when new row added

Hi everyone,
I have created a master-detail form from the wizard and within the detail report region source I have used apex_item.xxx API
example;
select C1, C2,
CASE when C2 ='N' then
apex_item.select_list_from_query(3, C3,'select a1 d, a2 r from table1', 'ENABLED', 'NO',null,null, 'f03_#ROWNUM#')
else
apex_item.select_list_from_query(3, C3,'select a1 d, a2 r from table1', 'DISABLED', 'NO',null,null, 'f03_#ROWNUM#')
END C3
from table;
All columns C1,C2,C3 are defined as "Standard Report Columns".
The results allows the column C3 field to be enabled or disabled for input depending on a condition.
The problem is when you hit the default button "Add Row" to add a new row. The row is non-editable and is populated with null values.
What I want is to allow input when a new row is inserted into the multi-row detail form.
Can any one help?
Is there a way to change the Display As field for the new row columns to "text field" from "standard report column" dynamically?

I think you will need to use the old way of adding rows instead of the new one. I remember having headaches trying to get it working.

Passing parameter from interactive report column link to new page

I'm very simply trying to pass the value of the column link to the where clause on the next page.
Interactive Report on P2 has column link fid alias in sql query.
I read somewhere to refer prefix the interactive report column with IR ??
So I have item name P2_FID, value #FID#. Anyway, I've tried a kazillion things.
Created a hidden item with same source value... sigh.
Is there a syntax to refer to a report column link, rather than an item_id in a region where clause?
Is there a simple direct way to do this?
Thanks,
Pamela
-----pls/apex/f?p=163:1:2746459963336955::NO::P2_FID:119

Thank you Varad...
Unfortunately, I am still getting no data found. (and there IS data).
a) Do you mean in the link column section of the report attributes? that is done: item 1 name= IR_P2_FID, value = #FID#
b) Do you mean my changing my hidden page item to ir_p2_fid with its source value as #FID# ? also done.
Do I need this hidden item?, and if not how do I refer to link in the where clause of the called page's sql region?
3) Where Fishery_id = :IR_P2_FID
Where Fishery_id = &IR_P2_FID
Thanks again!
