Sounds like a matrix report. Employees names as rows, dates as columns, hours as cells.

One Suggestion create one table use Before Report trigger & Insert data into a date column on the bases of from & to parameter and select this column in main query.

LD number;
begin	
Select  to_number(to_char(:To_Date,'dd'))  into LD  from dual;
Delete from Date_Range;
commit;

for i in 1..LD loop
Insert into Date_Range values(i||To_Char(:FromDate,'Mon-YYYY'));
end loop;
Commit;
  
return (TRUE);

end;

Output


01-FEB-12
02-FEB-12
03-FEB-12
04-FEB-12
05-FEB-12
06-FEB-12
07-FEB-12
08-FEB-12
.
.
.
29-FEB-12

Hope you'll get idea.

Regards,
Irfan

I prefer row generator.

SQL> set verify off
SQL> get p
  1  select to_date('&&date_from', 'dd.mm.yyyy') + level - 1 res
  2  from dual
  3  connect by level <= to_date('&date_to', 'dd.mm.yyyy') -
  4*                     to_date('&&date_from', 'dd.mm.yyyy') + 1
SQL> /
Enter value for date_from: 01.01.2012
Enter value for date_to: 31.01.2012

RES
----------
01.01.2012
02.01.2012
