I have a classic report region in my oracle apex application, with query
SELECT SENDER,SUBJECT,SDATE,MAIL_NO
FROM MAIL
I want to hide the column 'MAIL_NO' but also want to access its value in front end, so I can not use hidden column property of classic report. I need one more similiar region in the same page so that I can not use tabular form and it's hidden column save state property of tabular column. How can I achieve this using classic report in oracle apex ?
you can reach the column value using Substitution Strings. for example if you want to use the column value as a link to detail page. for more details about Substitution Strings visit the oracle docs
try putting this in inline css in the main page
#MAIL_NO, /*header*/
td[headers="MAIL_NO"]/*rows*/
{
display:none;
}
Hide the column and put it in another item (also hidden item) and you could use it

APEX Interactive Grids have a nice OOTB feature for filtering columns as long as they are represented by text areas, or text fields or selects. As soon as you change them to multi-select or shuttle they are no longer filterable with the out of the box functionality.
Is there a workaround where one could create a custom filter perhaps with a dynamic action?
I just need to search for a string in the field.
Use case is a multi-value column that holds tags and I just want to find records that contain one of the tags.
This would be handy for prototyping where you don't want to create a tags table and many-to-many mappings etc.
I'm using APEX 19.2
Thanks!
It is not possible to add a filter to a shuttle because the each row might contain more than one value (return/display value). So Apex internally won't know what to show when filtered.
Relative NEWB to PowerBI report builder and have a question about report iteration. Basically, I have a dataset that contains data for 'scorecards'. I want each page of the report to be one 'scorecard'. This corresponds to each row in my dataset query accordingly. I formatted my report accordingly and was anticipating that when I linked each textbox to its corresponding dataset field, when I run the report, I would have a multi-page report; however, I'm only seeing the first query result. I'm assuming this has something to do with the first() function. What am I missing?
edit - I'm basically trying to recreate the functionality of an Access 'report' where each record is displayed on a new report page.
I figured this out - it was staring right in front of me! I needed to add a 'List' data region. I can then design the report and it creates a new page for each record.
Is there any possibility to show or hide the column in Table/Matrix visual in Power BI report by user dynamically?
For Example, I have a table view with columns COLUMN-1, COLUMN-2, COLUMN-3. Now I may have filter drop down to list all the column headers, so based on user selection (Multiple selections) Table view should get adjusted to show column values.
Since Power BI was developed based on Excel, curious to know if we are having Hide/Show column based on any condition or available in visual by default (Maybe by right-clicking on column header then show/hide it).
You can do this with the following workaround:
Create your page with the table showing both columns.
Create a bookmark, uncheck "Data"
Duplicate the page and remove the column you want to conditionally hide. Set the page as hidden.
Create a bookmark, uncheck "Data"
Add a button to the first page pointing to the 2nd bookmark
Add a button to the second page pointing to the 1st bookmark
Ensure your slicers are synced
The end user experience is they will feel like they are conditionally hiding and unhiding the column.
A bit crap and a lot of extra work but I have it working well in my implementation.
Currently it is not possible to hide columns in visual based on slicer selection, there is an idea about this issue, please vote it up.

This is now available in Power BI with preview feature "Field Parameter". Check the May 2022 update.
The description of the task:
Our current reporting system that we are trying to modernize/replace utilizing oracle APEX is written in php.
It has some predefined reports with parameters the users can run, as well as “custom report builder” that allows the user to build the custom report by selecting parameters, table columns, and other operators to help build the query that generates the report.
All options allow the user to download the report output into Excel file.
Some users with advance SQL knowledge are given option to write their custom quires to generate the output. They would write the query in the text window and then generate the output.
I have to duplicate this functionality in APEX 5.2.
I have done this by creating the Textarea item where user types the query and a Classic Report region based on PL/SQL Function Body Returning SQL Query, than passing this value to a PL/SQL block returning a query. I had to use the “Use Generic Column Names” option for this to work.
I can generate the output this way.
The problem/issue encountered:
Since it can only be a Classic Report (based on PL/SQL Function Body Returning SQL Query ), I do not have a build-in option to download to Excel. In addition, all APEX plugins for this purpose that I have found/tried are designed for Interactive Reports/Grids as well.
So:
Can you suggest a better way to approach the task?
If my approach looks OK, any suggestion for download to Excel option (via button) ?
Here's how:
navigate to reports's Attributes page
scroll down the properties; you'll see the "Download" section
set "CSV export enabled" to "Yes"
set other properties (if you want; a separator, link text, ...)
run the page
you should see the "Download" link at the bottom of the region
I have an apex interactive report and a matching edit form working. I'm trying to add extra column in my database that would bind to a checkbox on a report and a form for each row. The only way of doing that after researching various references seem to be using APEX_ITEM.CHECKBOX2 in SQL query and selecting graph as column data type. I can render a check box but it is not bound and to save the state I figure I would have to script some code somewhere. Seems to be an awkward way of doing things considering text just binds out of the box. Is there a better way of binding a row level check box in an interactive report, i.e. choosing some specific data type in a database?
Thank you in advance,
