There are 2 forms "fmA" and "fmB". In "fmA" I have to possibility to create "fmB", by taking a field value and the UNID from "fmA" into 2 fields in "fmB". eg: Company Name and txt_UNID ( which is computed ) in "fmA" goes into "fmB" in Company Name and txt_UNIDB.
There is a possibility to create "fmB" without being a connexion with "fmA": create "fmB" from a view action, outside the form of "fmA".
In my main view, I want to display all these documents ( fmA & fmB ) and I create a first column which is categorized and hidden, having the following formula:
#If(Form="fmA";txt_UNID;txt_UNIDB)
It displays OK, but is there any possibility to not show the 'invisible' twisty ( which in this case is invisible but I can collapse / expand any category of docs. ) ?
I got smth like this:
(invisible line in view, but still I can collapse/expand the categories )
1st doc from fmA
1st doc from fmB
2nd doc from fmB
(invisible line in view, but still I can collapse/expand the categories )
2nd doc from fmA
1st doc from fmB
(invisible line in view, but still I can collapse/expand the categories )
1st doc from fmB ( which doesn't depends on any fmA)
2nd doc from fmB ( which doesn't depends on any fmA)
3rd doc from fmB ( which doesn't depends on any fmA)
Thanks for your time and help! I appreciate it!
If you don't want categories... don't categorize the view. In your case it is enough to SORT with this hidden column, you don't need to categorize it.
Nevertheless there is an option called "Categorized is flat version 5 or greater" in the column properties that hides the categories, but I don't see the advantage of having such a column instead of a simple sorted one...

See image below. Warehouse and Customer are dropdown lists populated via query. Year is a text field. The two tables display data from datasets driven by the report parameters. Is there a way to repeat the two tables based on each member of the Customer dropdown? Preferbly with a pagebreak after the 2nd table.
I normally do this using subreports. You could either create a single subreport that contains both tables or individual subreports. The individual approach might help with page breaks etc so that's the way I'd go.
Step 1: Create a report for your first table.
As you don't state what each table does, I'll make some up for the sake of illustration.
The key is to create a subreport that displays just the info you need in a single table. So in your case this might mean we only need to pass in a single parameter, CustomerID. You might need to pass in more such as Warehouse but I don't know...
In my made up scenario, let's assume the report shows customer contacts so we create a subreport (let's call it subCustomerConacts). It has a single parameter pCustomerID and a single dataset dsCustomerContacts. The query might looks something like SELECT * FROM CustomerContacts WHERE CustomerID = #pCustomerID. Add whatever tables/textbox etc you need to display your data.
Test this subreport works by manually typing in a CustomerID
Step 2: Create a report for your second table.
Do exactly the same again, creating a new subreport. Let call this subCustomerOrders. Repeat as above until you end up with another report that can display order details (or whatever you need).
Finally, create you main report.
This is basically what you have described in you question in terms of parameters etc.
Now to add this bit that will call you subreports.
Create a dataset (let's call it dsCustomerLoop) that contains each customer from your parameter something like SELECT DISTINCT CustomerID FROM myCustomers WHERE CustomerID IN (#myCustomerParameter)
Add a table to your report, 1 column wide and stretch it so it's wide enough to accommodate you subreports.
Set the dataset to point to dsCustomerLoop
Right-Click the cell in the detail row and do "Insert Row -> Inside Group - Below". You should not have two detail rows.
Next, right click the top detail row and do "Insert -> Subreport"
Right-Click the newly inserted subreport control and choose "properties".
Choose your first SubReport form the drop-down list
Click parameters on the left,
Click "Add" and select the CusomterID parmeter, set it's value to the CustomerID field.
Repeat this process on the seconds row, choosing your seconds subreport.
You may want to also add a 3rd row to the table, you could insert a rectangle into this with page breaks set to force a new page after each seconds subreport.
That's It. When the report runs it will produce two rows per customer, each row containing a subreport.
I hope this is clear enough, I've rushed through it a bit but if anything is unclear, let me know and I'll provide a clearer solution.
I am creating a Dashboard in QlikView, allowing the user to extract data based on the filters and selected columns. Requirments are below.
“Data Extract” table MUST be empty (even no column names are showed)at first!
Clicking the blue button shows the list of data available.
A table will then show those selected columns.
Does someone know how to do these?

You need to set a conditional expression on each of your dimension and measures.
A simple example would be to have an ID for each measure, here the measure "NetSales" can be referenced by MeasureID "a".
Measure | MeasureID
NetSales | a
In the conditional expression for NetSales you can have:
=if(IsNull(GetFieldSelections(Measure)),0,SubStringCount(Concat(MeasureID, '|'), 'a'))
This will check the possible MeasureIDs and return 1 if NetSales is selected.
You need to create a "floating" tables with the dimensions & expressions you need to use in the table object:

I'm testing Kibana 4 for a project.
I have created an index from my database table which is composed by 3 fields:
Date
User
Action
I would like to display my index as a simple table (3 column, N rows) in my dashboard.
I tried to use "Data table" visualization but I can't find a way to display my results without any Metrics (Count, Sum etc...)
Maybe is pretty simple and I missed something... is there a way to do this?

On the Discover tab, create a view that has just the fields you want and then save that as a search.
On the Dashboard tab, click on Edit then hit the + Create new button to add a widget, but if you look at the top, there's a Searches tab. Select that and add your saved search in.

I was a bit confused when I read #Alcanzar's answer so I am sharing a little more noob-friendly step-by-step how-to here :
STEP 1 : Create the Index Pattern
STEP 2 : Go to the Dashboard view, and create a view on your index
Select each column you want to include/add in your view by clicking "add" on it (The confusing part is that until you do that, you will have a "scrambled" view listing everything in a jumbled way.)
STEP 3 : Go to the Dashboard view, and create a view on your index
The trick is to select the specific columns you want to include... and voila !
Don't forget to save your view, this will help a lot in the process.
In Kibana 7.5.0 you can do it as follows:
Go to Discover section
Select fields you are interested in
Click on Save to save your discover search so you can use it in visualizations and dashboards
Click on Dashboard and create a new dashboard
Click on Add and select the panel
There is no step 6
The accepted solution has its pros (if, for simplicity, you see your index as a table, this is the only way to deal with rows naturally) but also cons (it allows the user to see too much information, by expanding the records that appear in the table; users cannot get an export of the values).
So if you plan to build tables to use in reports seen by users which should not see everthing and may want to get exports of the data, I recommend a different (hacky) approach using Table visualizations:
Say you have three columns A, B and C:
If there are no duplicates considering the combined values of A and B, you can use these two vales as aggregation fields, and then set a Max or Top hit Metric for C.
If even A, B and C have duplicates, then you can use the three of them as aggregation fields and add a Metric count, that will give you the number of repeated rows. This solution makes somehow sense, because instead of repeating the same row 'n' times you just tells you should have repeated 'n' times that row.
If A and B have duplicates but A, B and C are unique, then there is, afaik, no elegant solution. You have to use the three of them as aggregation fields, but then you would have a dummy metric at the end (e.g. count, always equal to 1).
Why? why do we have to go through all of this? that is another question...

I have a report that is listing students and I want a column to edit a student. I've done so by following this answer:
How do you add an edit button to each row in a report in Oracle APEX?
However, I can only seem to pass 3 items and there's no option to add more. I took a screenshot to explain more:
I need to pass 8 values, how can I do that?
Thanks!
Normally, for this you would only pass the Primary Key columns (here looks like #RECORD_NUMBER# only). The page that you send the person to would then load the form based on the primary key lookup only. If multiple users were using this application, you would want the edit form to always retrieve the current values of the database, not what happened to be on the screen when a particular person ran a certain report.
Change the Target type to URL.
Apex will format what to already have into a URL text field which magically appears between Tem3 and Page Checksum.
All you need to do is to add your new items and values in the appropriate places in the URL.
I found a workaround, at least it was useful to my scenario.
I have an IR page, query returns 4 columns, lets say: ID, DESCRIPTION, SOME_NUMBER,SOME_NUMBER2.
ID NUMBER(9), DESCRIPTION VARCHAR2(30), SOME_NUMBER NUMBER(1), SOME_NUMBER2 NUMBER(3).
What I did was, to setup items this way:
P11_ITEM1-->#ID#
P11_ITEM2-->#DESCRIPTION#
P11_ITEM3-->#SOME_NUMBER##SOME_NUMBER2#
Previous data have been sent to page 11.
In page 11, all items are display only items.
And P11_ITEM3 actually received two concatenated values.
For example, the calling page has columns SOME_NUMER=4 and SOME_NUMBER2=150
so, in pag1 11, P11_ITEM3 shows 4150
In page 11 I created a Before Footer process (pl/sql expression)
to set up new items, for example P11_N1 as source SUBSTR(P11_ITEM3,1,1)
and item P11_N2 as source SUBSTR(P11_ITEM3,2,3)
So, I had those items with corresponding values from the calling IR page.
The reason I did not pass the primary key only for new lookup access, is because i do not want to stress database performing new queries since all data are already loaded into page items. I've been an oracle DBA for twenty years and I know there is no need to re execute queries if you already have the information somewhere else.
These workarounds are not very useful for a product that bills itself as a RAD tool.
Just include a single quoted word in the select statement (Select col1, 'Randomword', col2 from table 1;)
Then define that column as a link and bingo! More items than 3 to select.
