What is the problem, exactly? You said you want to fill "columns" with P or A. What prevents you from doing that?

Why is, for example, cell [ID = 1, Name = M. MUBEEN, Month Date = 05] (that is the first upper left cell) empty? If it is not P and it is not A, what is it, then?

05, 21, 22,29, 30 is the days of month and the student present in those days will be (P). the students which is not present in those days autometically assign (A). But when i run this query is will shows the result which i attached.
SELECT DISTINCT max(substr(inout.dated,1,2)) dat, student.stuid, max(intime) intime,student.name
FROM student,inout 
WHERE student.stuId= inout.stuID(+)
group by student.stuid,NAME
order by stuid

Student is Master table and inout is detail table.

Who assigns that? Your application, or is report supposed to do so?

function statFormula return Char is
a number;
begin
  if :dat is not null  and :intime is not null then
  	 return('P');
  Else
  	 return('A');
  end if;
  end;

i want on specific :dat the student which have teir attendance assign (P) and which have not attendance on that specific date autometically assign (A).. but the students haveing presence on that day it shows (p) accurately but the (A) present in another column which has no date as shown in the figure.

I'm not sure what INTIME is; how about
  retval varchar2(1);
begin
  if :dat is not null then
     if :intime is not null then
        retval := 'P';
     else
        retval := 'A';
     end if;
  end if;

  return (retval);
end;

intime is the attendance time of the student on distinct date. please check that main query;

SELECT DISTINCT max(substr(inout.dated,1,2)) dat, student.stuID, max(intime) intime,student.name
FROM STUdent,inout 
WHERE student.stuId= inout.stuID(+)
group by student.stuid,NAME
order by stuid

please check that main query.

the code you have send is the showing nothing.....why the file is not attached... i have uploded.

Unfortunately, "main query" (or any code) you posted doesn't mean much as we don't have your tables nor data stored in them.

SELECT DISTINCT max(substr(inout.dated,1,2)) dat, student.stuID, max(intime) intime,student.name
FROM STUdent,inout 
WHERE student.stuId= inout.stuID(+)
group by student.stuid,NAME
order by stuid


This query is fundamentally flawed in a few ways:
1) It'll only give at most one record per student.
2) The returned intime may belong to a different record to the returned dated
3) You're relying on the default date format to get the day of the month.

If you've got a function that must return a value (and a simple if/else must) and you're still getting nulls that must mean the function isn't always getting run.
It's not getting run becuase of issue 1.

You need to join the students table to a calender query that will return all the dates you are interested in, e.g.
SELECT trunc(sysdate, 'MON') + rownum FROM dual connect by level < 31


Issue 3 can be fixed by using to_char instead of substr.

You need to change the query so that it returns one row per student per date.

I gave you a general suggestion for changing the query not actual code.
So I have no idea what you changed the query to.
It's really hard to help if you don't tell us what you've actually done.

The way I understood it, I think that the problem isn't "how to display all dates in a month" (i.e. how to fetch those that are missing, i.e. calendar-type query), but how to display A or P for a certain person on a certain date.

Of course, I might be wrong.

Therefore: forget about formula columns. Forget about matrix report. In SQL*Plus, write a query which will return 3 columns:
- student name (future matrix report rows)
- date (future matrix report columns)
- status (A or P) (future matrix report cells)

Once you manage to do that in SQL*Plus, copy/paste that report into Reports Builder, let Wizard create matrix layout and - once you make it work - feel free to make it fancy.

OP wants there to be an A or P for every single student for every single relevant date. Unless matrix reports do something I don't know about to fill in the gaps (possible) he needs a query that returns a row per student per relevant date. The blanks in the output will be where there is no intime record for that student for that date.


@shahzad-ul-hasan - This can be done in a single query. As LF says get something working in sqlplus - a query that outputs one row per stundent per date and indicates if they're present or absent - you can then put that query in the matrix report and it should just work.

select distinct s.stuid,s.name,max(i.dated),count(i.intime)
from student s, inout i
where i.stuid(+)=s.stuid
group by s.name,s.stuid
order by s.stuid

this query works fine in the sql *plus but in report is shows as follow:

It may run in sqlplus but I guarantee it doesn't give one row per student per date.
The number of rows the query needs to return = number of students x number of dates you want to display.
inout doesn't contain one row per student per date you want to display does it? It's missing rows for some students for some dates, presumably the dates the students didn't attend.

As previously stated you need to join this query to a select that gets all the dates you are interested in.

Simple example

SQL>   CREATE TABLE emp AS SELECT ROWNUM ID FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL < 4;
 
Table created
 
SQL> select * from emp;
 
        ID
----------
         1
         2
         3
 
SQL> --now a query to get some dates
SQL> SELECT trunc(SYSDATE) + ROWNUM FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL < 5;
 
TRUNC(SYSDATE)+ROWNUM
---------------------
15/01/2014
16/01/2014
17/01/2014
18/01/2014
 
SQL> --join the two
SQL> 
SQL> WITH cal AS (SELECT trunc(SYSDATE) + ROWNUM dat FROM dual CONNECT BY LEVEL < 5)
  2  SELECT ID, dat
  3  FROM emp, cal
  4  ORDER BY 1,2;
 
        ID DAT
---------- -----------
         1 15/01/2014
         1 16/01/2014
         1 17/01/2014
         1 18/01/2014
         2 15/01/2014
         2 16/01/2014
         2 17/01/2014
         2 18/01/2014
         3 15/01/2014
         3 16/01/2014
         3 17/01/2014
         3 18/01/2014
 
12 rows selected
 
SQL> 


Once you've got a query that gets one row per student per date you then need to outer join inout to it to see if the student was present on a given date.

Your database version is ...?

You might need to wrap that code into
select result
from (select trunc(sysdate) + rownum result
      from dual
      connect by level < 5
     );
