Selecting and formatting CLOB column in data model SQL

Emily Meyer

I need to pull in a CLOB column into a BIP Data Model and in the end format it as a Rich Text.

Is there a reference document or any suggestions on how to accomplish this?

You can include a CLOB column in the Data Model, wrap it in <![CDATA[ ]]> and set its type to XML. In the RTF template use:<?html2fo:YourColumnName?>

This will render supported HTML/XHTML tags as formatted text. Important to note that Complex tags like tables/images aren’t supported. More details along with example here:
