Application Express :: Report String Column To Date?
Apr 22, 2013
v: Apex 4.2
I have Dynamic report and column say some_date column and data can be in the columun (01-JAN-13) OR (01-JAN-13,04-JAN-13), (01-JAN-13,04-JAN-13,10-JAN-13) so on.
in actual table column some_date is date field but in report as above (string) because using RTRIM(some_date, ',') some_date within the select MODEL clause.
my problem is when run the report and select filter from action menu then it doesn't give option such as < , > or so on because of string but I want it should give <, <=, >, >= operators too as date column.
I have an IR report and want to add another column such as complete_date. I want to add as a link so when user click it then should display the popup window or javascript popup for date selection. i don't want to use apex_item.date_popup or apex_item.date_popup2. On date selection popup user can choose only two dates such as yesterday or today all other date should be disabled?
if on an interactive report, you try and filter on a date column, then the "=" operator disappears.You get other (not so useful) operators like "in the next", "not in the next" ">", ">=" etc. - but no "=" to be found.
We have generated a fancy custom interactive report, in which the columns of string type, but can hold string, numeric or date values. However the type of values are uniform for a particular column. The end users wants to use the numerical values for generating charts, but, being a string column (though the data is numeric), it throws an error and they could not generate the chart. Is there any way to make use of this string column type numerical data for generating chart?
I'm having an issue pulling an ID from a report column.
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......
Since I'd rather not do it directly in the SQL used to populate the report, any clean way to style all cells of a given column from an interactive report? Perhaps all cells of interest can be addressed through jquey using the "headers" attribute they share?
In Apex version 4.2 in interactive reports, you can stop users from hiding columns by unchecking a check box under column definition.Is there a way to stop users from hiding a specific column in version 3.2.
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.
Recently I remember reading what I think was a blog post on placing the last column of a report underneath the penultimate column - I think it was for classic reports.
I think it was done with some magic in the column definition, or maybe some jQuery?Agnostic to version. It was a more robust solution than using a HTML expression of#COL2#<BR>#COL3#
On a "Form on a table with report" page created with the wizard, I want to add a new report column from the underlying table (this is the multi-row page). If I try to add the column name to the query, Apex tells me:
"You have requested to change the Interactive Report query. If you added columns to the query, they will not be displayed when the report is run. You will need to use the actions menu and either select the columns or click Reset. If you removed any columns from the query, it will disable existing filters, highlight rules, and other report settings referencing those columns. Please confirm your request."
I sure don't want to start over and re-build the page, so where the heck is this "actions menu"?
How to control the column width on an interactive report. I can force it by making the column header really long but that is a crazy solution. How can I get control over this? I have columns that contain memo entries and if I use the header memo the report has tall skinny columns which makes reading very difficult.
I have an Interactive Report with a column that I need to create a link on but I need to pass the value of another column.
This report shows the Features of a particular Release. There is a select list for the Release that is selected and executes the report. There is a column that indicates whether the Feature has a Commitment attached to it. If there is have that a link to another report that shows all the Commitments for that Feature by passing the FEATURE_ID which is also a column on the Feature report.
Query: SELECT .... ,CASE WHEN ft.feature_id IN (SELECT cc.feature_id FROM customer_commitments cc WHERE ft.feature_id = cc.feature_id ) THEN 'Yes' ELSE 'No' END "Commitment Exists" ,ft.feature_id ....
FROM ....If "Commitment Exists" has a 'Yes', the 'Yes' is a link that will pass the FEATURE_ID to another report that will show the Commitments for that Feature. If the "Commitment Exists" has a 'No' then no link. I was also wondering if the Commitment report could open in a seperate window and make it modal?
I am trying to change the column order in an Interactive Report. Run the report as a developer then use the action menu.
However, I am not sure how one can run the the report as a developer. Do you just login and run the page? Then if I do that, I don't see the action menu there. If I go to page attributes "Save Report" tab, I do see the action menu but "Select Columns" only gives me "Report Type", "Report Name" etc as columns. Or we don't have enough privileges to run the report as a developer?
I am having report region with different columns, in that one column heading needs to be start with lower case like "iST Status" but always it is showing "IST Status".
We have a requirement, to highlight an entire column of a classic report based on a query to red. So if the search of the report returns column1, column2 as the output. Column 2 (text) should be highlighted in red across all results rows.
In some forum responses, I see using some id format, one can try to highlight a single column in a row. Not sure how can this be done across the whole column of multiple rows.
I have created report with the collections. Report query has been changing dynamically but i got problem with report header names and headers names has not been changing dynamically it is always showing like c001,c002....etc so, i have created global item(G_ITEM) in shared components--->Applications items after that I have created process(before headers) and assigning some value to G_ITEM and used &G_ITEM to column headres in IR Report but here &G_ITEM is not showing any value.
How can i achieve dynamic headers names by using *&G_ITEM(global items)*
I've started using Apex 4.2(new to Apex). I have built a form based on a table with a date column on it. The form allows update on all fields/columns of the base table. For the date field/column, the goal is to present the user with sysdate on load and update the date with sysdate if the record is changed any of the fields. How can I accomplish this?
Apex 4.2.0.00.27 I have a page with a Form region and a Classic Report region. How can I automatically save changes made in the Form when a user clicks the Edit link column in the Report? At the moment, when the user returns to the Form, any changes made there are lost.
I have a classical report with a column as "Affirmation Status". This column can take three value as "Affirmed, Rejected or NA". My requirement is I have to show all row in one color like red wherever it has value affirmed, and all row in color like green wherever it is rejected.
i have IR report page and download column as blob,how can security applied in specific column wise?e.g. Report page have more rows, and applied query in condition.
Select ID,dbms_lob.getlength(Blob_file) Download from Document_master where Created_by=UPPER(:APP_USER) OR (exists (select '' from apex_workspace_group_users awgu where awgu.user_name =:app_user AND awgu.GROUP_NAME='EMPLOYEE_GROUP' ) )
Now all the rows with Download column to see EMPLOYEE_GROUP users,but i need control the download column only except Created_by=UPPER(:APP_USER) ,this case how can do the security.
I have an interactive report which contains the columns like
<li>empno <li>Name
In the above i have "empno" with a column alignment of left and a "Name" with a column alignment of left.
Whether it is possible to override the data alignment that we set in the report according to the value of the application item like
If my application item value is US, then i need the column alignment of both the column"empno" and "Name" to be left and if my application item value is AR, then i need the column alignment of both the column "empno" and "Name" to be right. Whether is it possible to achieve the dynamic alignment to the report data of both the columns "empno" and "Name" according to the application page item value.And also in the case of page item i have a page item with a name P1_NAME in which it has a Element Horizontal/Vertical alignment to left.
I need that element alignment of the page item to behave dynamically according to the application page item, like if the application page item is US then the element alignment of the page item has to be left and if the application page item is AR then the element alignment of the page item has to be right.
I Have an apex page that display a modal window utilizing jquery. In the modal window I have a classic report with a link column that I want to capture its click event.
I was thinking I could create a dynamic action with selection type=jquery selector. Not for sure if I need to do anything on link column and do not know the syntax jquery selector.
I have created a IR report and I set the default search column using the suggestion found in the thread URL....but how can I keep this default even after the research was done?Now it is resetted !
I go to Report Attributes, then I click Add Column Link in the "Tasks" right menu, it adds me a column link, I just add some text for the link and a page to go to. Then I run the report and I get :
report error: ORA-01403: no data foundTested with several classic reports on multiple pages.

I have the report setup and need to make the following change... I have 2 columns: Comm and bonus,
if the bonus > comm, I need to change the text color of the bonus color to Red if the bonus < comm
I need to change the text color of the bonus color to Green if the bonus = comm, I need to change the text color of the bonus color to Black I have tried using code with the select and am NOT wanting that since it will be bundled with the data when downloaded as CSV or Excel.. Had thought about using the built in highlighting but that doesn't allow comparing a column to another.. Was thinking of a dynamic action, but not clear as to HOW to do it.
I have created a master-detail form. The detail columns are created as report columns instead of getting created as Items. I need to make a column non-editable.
Version : 4.1.1, I have a tabular form on a DB table. One of the columns is a date field. When the user hits the "add Row" button on the tabular form, I want the Date field to be defaulted to sysdate. Here is what I have tried so far,
1. Created a "hidden" item P1_SYSDATE and populated the default value with sysdate. After this, under the DB tabular report date field, I used default type - Item/application on this page and entered P1_sYSDATE
2. Instead of populating the default value of the P1_SYSDATE hidden item, I created a before regions process and added
:P1_SYSDATE := sysdate
and added P1_SYSDATE to default type of the tabular date field with default type as "ITem/application on this page.
I get the error
ORA-01790: expression must have same datatype as corresponding expression
I tried to_Char(sysdate,'dd-mon-yyyy') and then converting it back to to_date. still no luck.
Having this issue in Apex 4.1.1 and 4.2 (haven't tried it in versions prior to 4.1.1 yet). So I got my standard IR, and trying to create a private report with control breaks, aggregations.
Once I save it as a private report, It applies the same on my primary report.
It's no big issue as I can flip back to Primary report and delete the control breaks, aggregations but is some kind of bug? Ideally it shouldn't modify my primary report unless I try to save it as "Default Report Setting".
