Add the table to report without timestamp

Hello

I try to use the Report Generation Toolkit for Office into my excel report.

I have an excel template which I access via the generation of report vi in order to pass a double 2d array.

The array is passed in the report, however, the vi seems to add a timestamp column.

Is there a way to prevent the vi to add the timestamp.

Thanks for any help you can give me.

If anyone has the same problem, I just found that if you convert the 2d 2D array of strings table then the vi is more adds a timestamp.

    REDA

    ID_CITY a VARCHAR2 is not a number.  Thus, although "less than ('10')" is correct for a VARCHAR2 ("equal or superior (10)"), where do you think the value '2' would go? '2' less than '10' is? Where would the '21' value?  Where would '56'?  Tip: '21' is less than '3' and 56 'is less than 6'.

    Also your first partition is defined as "less than ('1')", which makes no sense.

  • Complete the table 2D-report dynamically

    Hello

    is there a way to create a Table 2D mode report dynamically with the method "Data.GetChannels"? ".

    I've got this starting position:

    -in the Dataportal are up to 5 groups (maybe less...)

    -in each group is a channel 'speed' and 'time', which has only a single value

    No, I want a 2D in report Table that looks like this

















    Time 100 200 Group 3-time-value
    Speed 25 30 String value in a group 3
    more channels 1 2 String value in a group 3

    I can do this by using textlists for each col, but the handling is very bad if a channelname Exchange.

    An alternative workaround blend groups temporarily to one group, but I hope there is a way to use the Data.GetChannels("Group*/Speed") command.

    Greetings,

    Martin Kozlowski

    Hi Martin,

    In general I would discourage you to use channels with only 1 value.  In almost all cases, it is best to store this information as a property of the channel or group.

    You can still get something like what you ask to leave your 1 value existing channels if you create columns of table which is of type "Expression", set up the table to be in a display of 'Horizontal' alignment, the value of the number of scale of lines the right number of groups and use expressions like these :

    @Data.Root.ChannelGroups (D2TabRow). Channels ("Time"). Values (1) @

    @@str (Data.Root.ChannelGroups (D2TabRow). Channels ("Noise"). ("Values (1), d.dd") @ «»

    Hello.

    Your requeriments combat the composer :). Why not use OOTB Oracle composer.?

    If you need to do without going to 'Edit Mode' my recommendation is to decompile the WebCenter/composer libraries and try to do the same thing because you have to save the changes to the MDS, manage simultaneous page editing, configure the components that are customizable etc... It is not a trivial job.

    If you find an easier way, please share it with the community :). At the moment I can't recommend decompile you and learn a little how works OOTB.

    Kind regards.

  • Pass the name of the table to report dynamically?

    I'm looking for any method any table name for a sql statement through an independent written report.

    a short example:
    I'm trying to create a report that lets me select a column in a table - time (column and table) should be provided in time, the report is run.
    Of course, something like
    select :column

    does not work; the error is ORA-01745.

    Is someone know a method to pass a string to the variable in the SQL before the cursor created?

    You cannot use LIE in FROM apparently, although I am struggling to find that explicitly in the DOCs, then you need to use & or & in your query of dynamic report OF clauses.

  • Add the table titled lines

    Hi writers,

    I created and filled a complex picture, but I would like to add three lines of header. When creating (table > insert table) I was clear no header row. I used extensively to merge cells and custom power (it's actually a menu tree).

    I can insert rows at the top, but they are stored in body; I need three rows to repeat at the top of each page.

    Can I insert lines of position, or convert lines of body positions?

    I use 7.1p116 to Frame.

    Hi Derek,.

    You can not convert existing body lines to the header lines.

    However, you can add header lines. In the menu, click table

    'Add some rows or columns. In the dialogue box, select 'Add 3 Row (s) under the heading'.

    Then copy your content in these lines.

    I use to go to Oracle PL/SQL client.

    Let's say your table than extractorders is the schema of database clientsproperty.

    As this pattern create a stored procedure that runs with the privileges of the customerschema. Having this procedure return a ref cursor For example

    create or replace procedure ReadExtractOrders( c in out sys_refcursor ) authid definer is
    begin
      open c for select * from extractorders;
    end;
    

    As this code executes with the privileges of the customer schema it can read the table belonged to this scheme.

    Now give execute rights on this process for the Joe database schema - and this pattern can create a cursor on the table of ExtractOrders , without being able to access or use directly or refer to this table. Read access to this table is therefore protected by a reliable code belonged schema customers.

    Learn about the AUTHID clause and how it can be used to differentiate the code approved and non-approved, which allows to PL/SQL code to run with different privileges than the demand for prescriptions.

  • Right aligned and then centered in the cell of the table - indesign cs 5

    Hi all

    Does anyone know how can I get the numbers right aligned, so the zeros are all below the other. And then the center of the table cell.

    I use a paragraph style is aligned to the right. This is the paragraph defining the cell style.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you

    Mau

    InDesign CS5

    You can set the position of the tab within the paragraph style, so no, you do not need to edit each cell, but you do not have to use the text aligned to the left, and if you want that all the place line numbers correctly you need to use a font with tabular, rather than numbers proportional to make them all the same width (and for tables rather than oldstyle figures is probably also a better choice).

    When you look at the tabs formatting options that you have left, right, centered and aligned decimals (which can be any character of your choice, but you want the period). When you use the decimal tab aligned, everything you type will behave as if the tab is a tab that is aligned to the right - it will start at the position of the tab and move to the left with each additional character - until you type the character that you chose for the alignment. From there text will move to the right of the alignment. This aims to make things like the columns of numbers with decimals.

    In a table, the tab character is implied, so if the only thing in the cell is your setting of the tab in the style number is sufficient and it will work just as soon as you start typing. If there is other text before alignment numbers that must be the left hard, however, you will need to type, then manually insert a tab in the menu Insert special characters (or create a new shortcut key to insert tabs in tables) to force the text to the left margin and keep the numbers aligned on the decimal point. You can't just hit tab within a cell to add the tab - it reports ID to pass to the next cell.

  • Add a table row

    I have a standard html table and ice div and want my client to be able to add the table lines to enter new reported issues. When in edit mode, we can change the content in the existing lines, but don't seem to be able to add a new line. Suggestions?

    Morris

    Hello, Morris,.

    You can define the rows in the table repeat regions, which will make your table a recurring element of the group. This allows users to replicate the rows in the table and add new ones.

    It seems that the first thing you want to do is to remove the DIV wrapping the table in Dreamweaver. Then, place your cursor in a table cell (theitems from the line) and go to insert > InContext Editing > create editable region. Do this for each cell in the row that you want to be editable. After specifying the editable cells in your row of the table, select the table row)your table element) and go to insert > InContext Editing > create repeating region. This will allow publishers to duplicate the rows in the table and change the cells in the row you specify as editable.

    Take a look at the next section of Dreamweaver Help for more information about the repeated regions: html http://help.adobe.com/en_US/Dreamweaver/10.0_Using/WS228F034D-1255-463f-BE80-D075F0BACF11.

    And please let me know if you need help with this.
