Column sorting in the report as number

I have a column of the report, which is actually a number, but when I click on the header of column it sorts as test. It is possible to sort by number? any ideas are appreciated.

Thank you
Surya

Hello

A numeric column will sort numerically. You apply a format to the number in your SQL (using TO_CHAR()) statement?

  • Set the column width in the report

    Hello

    I have a standard classic report in one of my applications.

    I want to set the width of the column of the report and but not in pixels, it should be in percentages (%)

    In the attributes report in each column, there is a column width text field, but it accepts only the pixels and percentages.

    Use CSS. Add a style sheet in the header HTML property page:

    th#ALIAS,
td[headers="ALIAS"] {
  width: 40%;
}

    where the ALIAS value in the attribute selector matches the required column alias.

    Please note that the specified percentages compared to the width of the report table. Therefore, it may be necessary to also specify widths (100%) for the table of report and its components. Exactly how is based on the report, the region and the page templates and theme used, information that was not provided.

  • limit the size on the column heading in the report SQL auery

    Hello

    I returned a SQL query in the report where my column labels are also dynamically. Apparently, the size of this label is limited? Why?
    We tried to get the maximum and it seems that it is limited to 32 characters?

    Y at - it a solution because the meaning of the column in my app is really more important and must be displayed entirely

    Thank you

    Erwin

    Erwin,

    APEX does not limit the size of the headers of column (at least not at only 32 characters). AFAIK a limitation exists only if you use a Type of "Column names" or "column names (InitCap)." Then you click on the limitation of the Oracle DB as an identifier of Oracle, for example name or alias of the column referenced in your SQL query, may not exceed 30 characters long. To work around use a Type of "Custom" or "PL/SQL". "PL/SQL", you can dynamically set the report headings with a function that returns the headers as a string of delimited colon. You call the function like this:

    return get_my_report_headers(<input parameters>)

  • Problem of sorting for the report public pages

    Hello

    Recently, I ve met a strange behavior with a standard sql, in a page (unauthenticated) report "public":
    When a sorted user report on one of the columns, all other users got their report sorted on this column even.

    I have reproduced this situation several times (including the http://apex.oracle.com):

    1 to the sample application to create a new blank page without tab.
    2. edit this page and add a sql report region, using the "standard" model
    For this purpose, a query that returns the columns 3 or 4 of the customer table will be enough.
    Make sure that the sorting is available on several columns.
    3. edit the properties page and in the section security value "Authentication" "Page is Public" and run the page.
    4. on another browser go directly to the page.
    5. back on the browser where you were 'edition' click on one of the columns to sort.
    6 refresh the second browser and the sorting is now the same as in the first.

    You can verify this behavior in http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=19369:10

    I'm doing something wrong on the construction of the application/page/report?

    If you have access to my workspace, you can check out this application:

    http://Apex.Oracle.com/pls/OTN/f?p=22010:1

    It acts as a consumer application (no login required), and you can sort your report using different browsers without losing the settings for the session.

    The only important thing is the 101 page.

  • column width for the report of inetractive works is not in IE 8

    Hi all


    I have an international registration for which I don't want the columns to the rap and the last column (DESCR) should have a fixed width, so that's what I added in the header of the region:
    <style type="text/css">
   table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA td {
      white-space:nowrap;
   }
</style>

<style type="text/css">
td[headers="DESCR"] {width:300px !important;max-width:300px; !important}
#apexir_DESCR {width:10px;max-width:300px !important;max-width:300px; !important}
</style>
    This works fine on chrome and FF, but IE seems to completely ignore this, even by adding! important did not help

    I found on the internet for IE 8 to obey this width of the must have style table: table-layout: fixed;

    for example:
    <table style=´width: 100%; table-layout: fixed;`>
    However, I'm a little lost on how to do


    KR
    Martin

    Hello

    Did you try adding following to the inline style?

    table.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
 width: 100% !important;
 table-layout: fixed !important;
}

    BTW, you need to add this style inline in the HTML page header. Not to the regions.

    Kind regards

  • Problems with sorting of columns and the number of lines in the report

    Hello

    I'm having a problem with sorting of columns and the number of lines displayed in a report.

    This report displays the data correct, but if I try to sort on a column when I click on the column heading in the report returns no line... I need to click on the "go" button to refresh the report (with the column sorted now) in to display the data.

    Similarly, I display only 15 lines per page. If I try to view the lines 16-30, 31-45, etc., that it returns no line until I click on the 'go' button to refresh again.

    Has anyone else had (and overcome) the same problem?

    Thank you

    Joseph

    Joseph,

    2 questions:

    1) are you using the elements referenced by the report page to filter etc.. ? If so, you're failing values of these when the loading of the page?
    (2) are you using PPR page through the results?

    If so, it could be a problem with the different types of session state, as Anton Nielsen blogged about here:
    http://c2anton.blogspot.com/2008/12/Oracle-Application-Express-Apex-three.html

    If so, you can use calculations or processes to set element values in session state persistent during page rendering, as Anton mentions. In this way, when you use PPR page values will be available in session state and your report should work fine.

    Anthony.

  • Default sort of the classic report does not seem to work

    4.2.1

    THM 2

    I have a classic report consisting of an underlying sql with 3 unions. The columns include a party_name (varchar) and two numeric fields.

    for example only select total_cost, cost_to_company, party_name, apex_item.checkbox2(1,party_id)

    (

    Select a.party_id, a.party_name party_name, a.cost_to_company, table a.total_cost when certain conditions

    Union

    Select a.party_id, a.party_name party_name, a.cost_to_company, table a.total_cost when certain conditions

    Union

    Select a.party_id, a.party_name party_name, a.cost_to_company, table a.total_cost when certain conditions

    )

    In our real-world scenario, these three applications are on different tables and different even if some elements are all the same (including the type of data, etc.), where the union

    Because I need activate sorting using the report attributes. I put the tri reporting attributes such as 1 - total_cost desc, 2 - Party_name growing.

    However, when we run the report, if the total_cost for different parts is 0, the sorting should be based on party_name. That does not seem to happen. It still sorts out randomly. I'm wonderingm if it's because there are trade unions and no order of in the query.

    No idea how to solve this problem?

    Nothing to do with unions.

    It looks like it is connected to your thread previous marking dynamically of columns in a "BOLD" for the highest value report. Is it? If so, where are the links generated to conditionally and other HTML elements? They are more likely to cause sorting problems. Instead of posting question after question about one aspect of the problem after another, you get a solution much faster together by creating an example on apex.oracle.com and specifying the complete requirements.

  • Column header in the interactive report with special characters

    Interactive column heading in the report sorting and filtering is broken when I used special characters in it.

    Column sorting options appear in the wrong place and the page becomes unresponsive.

    Cause: I use a slash "/" in my query and who broke it. I tried ampersand and the same problem exists.

    Query: Select project name, status ' Open/closed' projects;

    This problem does not exist in the classical report, but only in interactive report

    Version: Apex 4.2.4

    Here's a demo app with the problem I'm talking about. Trying to sort the column entitled ' open/closed '.

    P:test

    The issue is identical to an another forumn.

    https://community.Oracle.com/message/11156426

    However, I have just created this new discussion with the hope that this minor bug might be fixed in the next version of the apex.

    During this time, no workaround or suggestions are welcome.

    I tried to make the column "Remove HTML and special characters", but that did not help. I think I have a header of column with some special characters is a pretty basic requirement apex should support.

    Hello

    I guess simple fix is that not not to use the query column aliases where is /.

    But you can use ' Open/closed' as an attribute of the column header.

    Hi all

    I am bulding an open source oracle apex app to track aircraft using ADS - B technology.

    I have somes types of units.  for example (kilometers, miles, knots, feet and metres).

    So, in the report of the IR, I want pick capable of showing a unit in time.

    For example

    Radio Group.

    Ground speed: (*) km/h () Mhp (Knt)

    Vertical speed: (*) ft/s (m/s)

    Can anyone help to build a code or point a direction to get above result?

    I tried already a thread, but did not work.

    Apex: Display/hide report column with Radio button. 2 cents to Oracle by Christoph

    Display / hide column IR dynamically


    I have a limited knowledge of Oracle APEX.

    For example

    Group of radio buttons.

    Ground speed: (*) km/h () Mhp (Knt)

    Vertical speed: (*) ft/s (m/s)

    There are different ways to do this. Probably the easiest would be:

    1. Create lists of values (LOVs) for units.
    2. Add the elements of the Group of radio -based unity LOVs report interactive region (IR), by specifying one of the units as a default value.
    3. Present the radio group via the Items property of the Page to send IR region.
    4. Create multi-column report for each metric combination / unit.
    5. Control the display of the report columns (applies to IR, but also classic report columns) conditionally using value of element in the Expression 1 = Expression 2 conditions Expression 1 is the group element of relevant radio and Expression 2 unit LOV value corresponding to that used in the column of the report.
    6. Add a dynamic action on the evolution of the components of the radio to refresh the IR region.

    A less obvious approach would also use LOVs, group radio elements and dynamic action of change/update as above, but only have one column for each measure in the report. The column value is calculated using an expression based on the value of the radio group, for example:

    .
.
.
/* Assuming base speed unit is km/h */
  ground_speed
* case :p1_ground_speed_unit
    when 'mph' then 0.621371
    when 'kn' then 0.539957
    else 1
  end ground_speed
.
.
.

    The unit could be indicated in the column heading in the report referring to the element of the device by using a substitution of static text string:Ground Speed (&P1_GROUND_SPEED_UNIT.)

  • Marking of columns in a "BOLD" report for the highest value dynamically

    4.2.1

    Hello world

    I have a sql report that has two values as production_cost, sales_cost. Depending on which is higher, I need to mark is as "BOLD" for each line. Is that what this is doable?

    for example

    If I have

    production_cost sales_cost

    1000 100 - this row 1000 Row1 must be in bold

    20 50 - in this row 50 row2 must be indicated in bold.

    Is it possible to dynamically?

    So I have the query that is something like

    "Select apex_item.checkbox2(1,row1), production_cost, sales_cost from table".

    And then based on the values that it can move the lines or perform an operation. But this question related to the derivative of production_cost of sales_cost (or higher) of the two by making them "BOLD" ()

    Add 2 columns hidden in the report query:

  • How to display the text in the cell for CDA on the report

    Hi all

    I use en-Studio of reporting. Now my requirement is I want to show the text in the cell that I added under CDA - column Variance in the report. So for this I used the text of the cells and within this function function, I gave the line, column and page number. But it does not show the text in the cell that I added for hyperion planning on the report. But if I am referring to another cell text that I added to the variance of Yeartotal I'm able to see on the report.
    Can someone tell me why I'm not able to see the text from the cell that I added to the variance of the CDA?
    Pls tell the way by which I can return.

    My formula looks like this-

    < < TxtCase ("Grid1", 78 H, 1, $CurrentMonth = "October") > > I am very confused about the last parameter. No error or the kind of argument not valid message, but it still all just empty.



    Thank you

    I think you're out of luck on this one.

    Cell notes are stored in the planning of the HSP_CELL_NOTE and HSP_CELL_NOTE_ITEM tables. Done HSP_CELL_NOTE refers to a member for each dimension that is pointing to the intersection where the note should be linked. YearTotal is an intersection, even though it is dynamically calc would be in essbase. Each HSP_CELL_NOTE NOTE_ID points to one or more notes that are stored in HSP_CELL_NOTE_ITEM. This means that although you can save a note in YearTotal, it does not display when you report on the Y-T-D (Oct) which is purely dynamic. It does state that when you reference specifically an intersection that is stored in HSP_CELL_NOTE.

    It would be nice if you could see all the notes stored in Jan: Oct when your report contains a Y-T-D (Oct), but it doesn't.

    You can always write a stored procedure to go against the tables and the report in excel.

  • Download the file from the link in the report

    I built a custom file upload/download capability that works very well. The UPLOADED_FILES table has 2 columns that are used to access the contents of the file - a sequence number of a related table entry and a varchar2 file type. I have a built procedure that downloads the contents of my table UPLOADED_FILES. Now, I would like to be able to display a link in my report which allows the user to download the appropriate file. I can't get the right format. I need to pass 2 variables to the procedure - a (p_file) is a column name in the report, while the other (v_type) is a static string value "SUMMARY."

    My procedure is:
    create or replace PROCEDURE download_my_file
  (p_file in number,
   v_type in varchar2) 
AS
        v_mime  VARCHAR2(48);
        v_length  NUMBER;
