Hi Lohith,

If you want to use pageBlockTable you need to assign a value for that. Eg: 
<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!recordTodisplay}" var="r" id="table_Expense">

and for recordtodisplay you need to pass value from controller

and you can display like

<apex:pageBlockTable value="{!recordTodisplay}" var="r" id="table_Expense">

<apex:column headervalue="ID">
<apex:outputField value="/{!r.d}" />	
</apex:column>

</apex:pageBlockTable >
For your requirement you need to do like this
  
<apex:page standardcontroller="Opportunity">
<apex:pageBlock>
  
      <apex:outputField value="{!Opportunity.Name}"/>
      <apex:outputField value="{!Opportunity.Amount}"/>
      <apex:outputField value="{!Opportunity.CloseDate}"/>
      <apex:outputField value="{!Opportunity.Account.Name}"/>
  
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

Thanks

<apex:page standardcontroller="Opportunity">
<apex:pageBlock>
   <apex:pageBlocksection title="Opportunity Details" >
      <apex:outputField value="{!Opportunity.Opportunity Name}"/>
      <apex:outputField value="{!Opportunity.Amount}"/>
      <apex:outputField value="{!Opportunity.Close Date}"/>
      <apex:outputField value="{!Opportunity.Account Name}"/>
   </apex:pageBlocksection >
</apex:pageBlock>
</apex:page>

replace <apex:pageblocktable> tag with <<apex:pageBlocksection>

HI Lohit,

In this case there is no use of pageblocktable because you are only showing the opportunity details..if you are iterating over a list then we should use pagebloktable ....in this case you will always have only 1 record so its not required...you can use what Sura has mentioned above..

But you are getting error because you have not provided mandatory field..which is Value and Var in pageblockTable...

Please check below link for more details how to use
https://www.salesforce.com/docs/developer/pages/Content/pages_compref_pageBlockTable.htm

Thanks,

Hi Lohith,
Use the below code
  
<apex:page standardController="Opportunity">

    <apex:pageBlock title="Opportunity Fields">

        <apex:pageBlockTable value="{!Opportunity}" var="oppor">

            <apex:outputField value="{!oppor.Name}"/> 
			<apex:column value="{!oppor.Amount}"/> 
			<apex:column value="{!oppor.CloseDate}"/> 
			<apex:column value="{!oppor.AccountId}"/> 
			<apex:column value="{!oppor.AccountId.Name}"/> 

        </apex:pageBlockTable> 

    </apex:pageBlock> 

</apex:page>
Then your URL should have an opportunityId.

Example - https://salesforceInstanceName/opportunityId
in my case it is --https://eu5.salesforce.com/006240000039pAI

Hello Lohith Matam,
If you use PageBockTable then you must bind with ListOf Record..Depend on your requirment how many records showing on your page. If you show only single record in page then you remove PageBockTable.

Thanks..

when i am copying sura answer iam getting error as Error: Could not resolve field 'Opportunity Name' from <apex:outputField> value binding '{!Opportunity.Opportunity Name}' in page OppView
sandeep sankhlasandeep sankhla

Thank u  all  for giving me answers by spending your valuable time for me

How will I get to know when to use .Name and when not to use it?

Example -

"{!Opportunity.Account.Name}" - Here I am using the Account.Name and it works.
"{!Opportunity.CloseDate}" - Here I am not using the dot between Close Date. And throws error if used dot.

Bit confusing, please make me understand.
Thank you.

                <apex:outputField value="{! Opportunity.Name }"/>
                <apex:outputField value="{! Opportunity.Amount }"/>
                <apex:outputField value="{! Opportunity.CloseDate }"/>
                <apex:outputField value="{! Opportunity.Account.Name }"/>

    </apex:pageBlockSection>

Hi Pradeep,

You are not able to see any values because there is no account instance is linked to the view.

To view details, you must append &id=someid at the end of URL.

Hope this resolves your concern.

Thank you.
