hi,
I'm a newbie in report. Let say I have a table Address, and one of the column on Address table is AddressType. The column data type is number. However when I want to generate the report of Address table, the data in AddressType column have to be decoded.
example,
1- Corresponding address
2- Office address
3- home address...etc..
.
.
.
how do I do this?

Model you've described is not enough. Where do you take corresponding / office / home addresses from? Because, I doubt your intention is to get exactly the same output as you've posted it. However, if it really was the case, use DECODE or CASE (such as in this example):WITH test AS
(SELECT LEVEL address_type
FROM dual
CONNECT BY LEVEL <=3
)
SELECT DECODE(address_type, 1, 'Corresponding address',
2, 'Office address',
3, 'Home address'
) result
FROM test;
RESULT
---------------------
Corresponding address
Office address
Home address |
