I created a parameter [GroupID] that is used to query several datasets in my SSRS report. It is using the field [GroupID] from my GroupList_Rolling12 dataset. An example of [GroupID] is 77610N. When 77610N is selected, all of my datasets are correctly 'filtering' for this [GroupID].
I now need to create a text box that returns the [GroupName] of [GroupID]. In other words, when 77610N is selected from my GroupID parameter, I want the [GroupName] that is associated with the selected GroupID parameter to display.
I'm still very new to SSRS and cannot figure this out. I tried creating the expression =First(Fields!GroupName.Value, "GroupList_Rolling12") but that did not work since it simply returns the first value from the query.
I also tried =First(Parameters!GroupID.Value(0)) but this also did not work
I also tried this expression =Lookup(Fields!GroupID.Value, Fields!GroupID.Value, Fields!GroupName.Value, "GroupList_Rolling12")
)
Can you please help?
You can reference the parameter label directly like this
=Parameters!GroupID.Label
There is no need to put the index on the end (=Parameters!GroupID.Label(0)) unless your parameter is multi-value, in which case it would select the first selected entry.
I am working on Oracle forms 12c and facing an issue with few fields showing as hash(####) values instead of number field on data block when saving changes by clicking on SAVE (commit) button.
Also showing below error
(FRM-40735 KEY COMMIT Trigger raised unhandled exception ORA-01483)
it seems that it is due to change of field item from number to HASH (string)
For further information:-
-Fields are database items
-Trying to insert value in database fields by entering value on field.
-Size of fields are more than entered number value.
-on re-querying data block using (f7 & f8) data is showing correctly as number.
-Not able to recreate this issue on different database(working fine on other database)
is it something related to environment issue or minor bug while coding?
If the Returning_Dml_value property on datablock is set to Yes,it sometimes causes junk values to be populated and asks a requery on block. Try setting it to No instead.I faced a similar issue once and it got resolved by setting Returning_Dml_value property to No.
The following blog explains more about this property of Oracle forms:

First, I don't have unique value to directly point out a value I want to retrieve, so there for, I cannot use the WHERE Statement. The reason for that, because I have a database where I constantly updated or deleted, so if I use WHERE statement I have to edit the code again.
Then do apply a unique value - add a field of data type AutoNumber or you will never get out of this mess.
i have a strange user request: they want to be able to say for every fields in every forms from where they get information used to compile it.
value must be selected from a list
essentially iam looking a way to avoid to double the fields.
one way can be add a M:M table where link field-name and information-source
but using this for retrive from real data table only fields derived from an info-source can be really bad
EDIT
to be more clear the solution i want to avoid is to have a data table like this:
fieldname1
fieldname1Origin
fieldname2
fieldname2Origin
fieldname3
fieldname3Origin
...
but i do the link table in this way:
FieldName
OriginId
i have to map oll field names and to search in it with string name when i need to query data table i have to do something like this
select
case when (exists select 1 from LinkTable where FieldName='fieldname1' AND
OriginId=SelectedID) then fieldname1
else NULL
end
for every fields
What about mixing several controls, such as a combobox with all lines, that would trigger the display of all columns of that line.
Something like that (I am currenlty working on that project):
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.
