Best way to extract data from 2 years records/Numbers files for tax return?

Hi
I am wanting to find a way of generating my annual tax returns from my financial records, which will be stored in a separate Numbers file for each Calendar Year.
As the Tax Year (in the UK) is different from the Calendar Year (in the UK it runs from April 6 to April 5), I would need to extract information from two different Numbers files, to a third Numbers file. Is it possible to do this, and would this be relatively straightforward?
I'd be interested to hear from others who have used Numbers for a similar purpose, and how they have organised things.
Thanks
Nick

The easiest soluce is to forget the use of separate documents.
Use one sheet per year and it will be really easy to achieve your goal using only formulas.
With separate documents, the unique soluce is to use an AppleScript.
I may write one but I'm a bit tired because I posted a lot of such soluce and in most cases, I don't know if they give satisfaction to the askers.
Coding for the clouds isn't my cup of tea so I think that for some days, I will leave AppleScript and will work upon the archives of my workshop.

Best way to extract data from archived cube

Hello Experts,
Can anyone tell me best way to extract data from archived cube.
Basically I am trying to pull all the data from archived cube and then load it into another brand new infoprovider which is in different box.
Also I need to extract all the master data for all infoobjects.
I have two options in my mind:
1) Use open hub destination
or
2) Infoprovider>display data>select the fields and download the data.
Is it really possible to extract data using option (2) if records are too high and then load it into another infoprovider in new system.
Please suggest me the pros and cons for the two options.
Thanks for your time in advance.

Hello Reddy,
Thanks a lot for your quick reply.
Actually in my case I am trying to extract archived infocube data and then load it into new infoprovider which is in different system. If I have connectivity I can simply export data source from archived infocube and then reload into new infoprovider.
But there is no connectivity between those two systems (where archived cube is and new infoprovider) and so I am left with the two options I mentioned.
1) Use Open Hub
or
2) Extract data manually from infoprovider into excel.
Can anyone let me know which of the two options is the best and also I doubt on how to use excel in extracting data as excel have limit of no.of records 65536
Thanks

The best way to extract data from MySQL

I have a MySQL db that contains information about whether respondents are coming to an airshow, what days they plan to attend and how will they travel (www.hollisterairshow.com/helpusplan.php . I can export data from this to a spreadsheet as the summary info will only be seen by the organizers but ideally I'd like to create a page that will summarize responses. Something like this:
Saturday
Autos: xxxxx Occupants: yyyyyy
Aircraft: xxxxx Occupants: yyyyyy
Other: xxxxx Occupants: yyyyyy
Sunday
Autos: xxxxx Occupants: yyyyy
Aircraft: xxxxx Occupants: yyyyy
Other: xxxxx Occupants: yyyyy
Camping: xxxxx Occupants: yyyyy
How did you hear about the Airshow:
Radio: xxx TV: xxx Newspaper: xxx Magazine: xxx Internet: xxx Other: xxx
I thought I would create a couple of recordsets, one for respondents who will attend on Saturday and the other for respondents who will attend on Sunday then all I'd need to do is count the number of respondents and sum the number of occupants for each recordset, and count/ sum campers for the whole file and similarly for the "how did you hear about it" question. Is this the best way or am I missing a more elegant solution?
Thanks,
Tony

The page I'm trying to create is here www.hollisterairshow.com/plan-results.php and the questionnaire is here www.hollisterairshow.com/helpusplan.php .
I went ahead and created recordsets using advanced recordsets and these seem to be working, here's a sample SQL
SELECT *
FROM plan
WHERE Saturday = 'Saturday' AND plan.howArriving = 'Auto'
I created a recordset for each combination of day and transportation mode - six in all
This selected the correct records.
To display the count of how many records selected I then used in DW Insert/Data Objects/ Display Record Count/Total Records which generated the following code:
<?php echo $totalRows_rsSatAuto ?>
This worked OK - not elegant but OK and I repeated it for each combination of Day and Transportation mode!!
So there are two problems I'm having:
I know I can select the records I want but how do I display the sum of the column containing "How many in your party" - i.e. in the PHP code generated above what do I replace $totalRows_rsSatAuto with?
There are two questions using radio buttons where I'd like to display the count and % for each option selected. I can select all records for these questions but what code do I put to sum the number of selections for each option and what code do I put to calculate the percentage
I understand the arithmetic involved which is pretty simple but it's the mechanics of coding that has me stumped. It would really help if you could give me a sample for say the "Are you camping overnight" question which has a "Yes/No" option only. In my mundane way I would create two recordsets, one for "Yes" and one for "No", and use the same technique I describe above for counting Total Records in each recordset, but then I'm stuck with how do I calculate and display the percentages. I must be missing something very obvious as I'm sure there just has to be a more elegant solution.
Thanks so much for your continued interest.

Best way to move data from table to a file

Hi,
I have a two tables in ecc, And I need to read the data and copy to a file and ftp to another server.
One table is really huge. What is the best approch to move this data using PI. I can not avoid PI, since it needs some mapping.
1. Proxy-PI-FTP
2. Dump the data to a file and use FTP_PI_FTP
3. Any other.
Thank you
Moni

it is really a project decision but I can give you some pro's and con's.
Proxy --> File
You cab communicate directly with the XI pipeline which means you don't have to go through the adapter engine.
RFC --> File
This is very standard SAP and most ABAP programmers will be able to utilize this.
IDoc --> File
Standard SAP ALE technology but can get very big due to useless segments
Dump File
The biggest positive of this is the fact that you wouldn't have to convert to XML which will ensure that the message doesn't grow in size as is the case with all of the above.
This is very brief but should give you a good idea....

Is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

is there a way to extract data from one of e.g. 7 rows from the multicolumn listbox?

All the data can be extracted by creating a property node and read the Item Names property...then you get a 2D array of all the rows and columns. Wire that array into an index array function and input the row you want (e.g. the listbox value, if you want the row currently selected...)...that's it. See attached example.

Extract data from Oracle in excel file

Hi,
I have a requirement where in I need to extract data from Oracle in excel file and the excel worksheet name should be "Data".
for eg. excel file name "AR Data_DDMMYY" and excel worksheet name "Data"
I have used the UTL_FILE API to extract the tab delimited data which can be opened in excel but it is not exactly an excel file as the worksheet name is same as the file name.
I tried using utl_file.fcopy and frename.
Is there any way to do this using PLSQL?
select * from v$version;
Oracle Database 10g Enterprise Edition Release 10.2.0.5.0 - 64bi
PL/SQL Release 10.2.0.5.0 - Production
"CORE 10.2.0.5.0 Production"
TNS for HPUX: Version 10.2.0.5.0 - Production

select * from scott.emp;
v varchar2(100);
f utl_file.file_type;
file_name varchar2(100) := 'AR Data.xls';

Hi,
I was able to generate the excel 2007 file with the data using the package from below link;
http://technology.amis.nl/2011/02/19/create-an-excel-file-with-plsql/
but the requirement is to generate excel 2003 file.
I tried changing the .xlsx to .xls and it gives a note while opening the file "The file you are trying to open, abc.xls, is in a different format than specified by the file extension. Verify that the file is not corrupted and is from a trusted source before opening the file. Do you want to open the file now?"Then you have three options:
1) stop using anton's package and find another one that supports the old and deprecated version of Excel 2003
2) write your own package to produce an Excel file.
3) Upgrade your version of Excel to a recent version
I tried the programs from other links on the forum but I am still getting this message. The client does not want this message to be displayed as the excel file works as an input to another system.
Can anyone help me with the issue?
Also, is it true that the programatically generated excel file is actually an xml file which is renamed to .xls and hence it shows the message while opening such files?Yes, Excel supports several different formats for it's files. By default, if you save an XLS files from Excel, it writes it out in a Microsoft proprietary binary format, which you would be hard pushed to replicate easily from PL/SQL. Excel also has the ability to save it's files as XML format, which is more readable and easier to produce programatically, whilst still allowing you to have multiple sheets, formulas and formatting included in it. That's the format that most people who need formatting and multiple sheets opt for when programatically generating their data as excel workbooks. (There's also an SLYK format that people used to use before that, but it's not as flexible)
If you want to write your own, the easiest thing to do is to start with a blank workbook in Excel, and put in your basic requirements e.g. a couple of named sheets, and some data in different formats (number, date, text etc.) and different formatting options etc. Save that file in XML format from Excel and then open up the file using notepad/wordpad to look at the structure. There'll be a whole load of redundant rubbish Microsoft put in there, but you should be able to figure out the basic structure of XML required to give you what you want.

Best way to transfer data from other computer

I'm wondering what is the fastest, or most reliable way to transfer data from another computer to my G5. I've skimmed through manual for G5 and it seems to list several options, if I'm understanding it correctly.
1. Using Airport Extreme
2. Using Bluetooth
3. Hooking up a local Ethernet connection
4. Setting up a Firewall connection?
I want to be able to transfer a completed iDVD project created on an iMac G3 to my G5 for burning the DVD. And which method (if any) will work with a non-Mac computer?
Anyone know the advantages, disadvantages of the transfer methods?

If you have a high-speed connection, another easy & fast way to transfer files between computers is through AIM (AOL Instant Messenger).
iChat has the same ability of transferring large files as AIM.

What is the best way to append data from one field to another?

I have the following table, table1:
Name Null? Type
MAIL_ID NOT NULL NUMBER(10)
LAST_NAME VARCHAR2(45)
FIRST_NAME VARCHAR2(45)
MIDDLE_INITIAL VARCHAR2(1)
ADDRESS_1 VARCHAR2(45)
CITY VARCHAR2(35)
STATE VARCHAR2(2)
ZIP VARCHAR2(10)
REMARKS VARCHAR2(200)
The table has duplicate entries that need to be removed. The records that will be removed need the
data in the Remarks column appended to the Remarks data of the record that is not deleted.
For example, the following listing shows a sample of the duplicate records.
Mail ID Last Name First Name M Address City St ZIP Remarks
189 BROWN STEPHEN 6706 MOESER LN EL CERRITO CA 94530-2909 Sf7#s124,f16#d7996(NML)[Cl#117][Ml#1649][NMf1#d288][NCf9#d319][SNl#e62]
211023 BROWN STEPHEN B 6706 MOESER LN EL CERRITO CA 94530 RLl#a12047[IDl#i398]
287796 BROWN STEPHEN B 6706 MOESER LN EL CERRITO CA 94530 SNl#e1163
The following listing shows how the kept record should appear after the duplicate records are deleted.
Mail ID Last Name First Name M Address City St ZIP Remarks
189 BROWN STEPHEN 6706 MOESER LN EL CERRITO CA 94530-2909 Sf7#s124,f16#d7996(NML)[Cl#117][Ml#1649][NMf1#d288][NCf9#d319][SNl#e62]RLl#a12047[IDl#i398]SNl#e1163
I have the process of deleting duplicates working but have yet to determine the best way to move
the Remarks data from the deleted records to the preserved record.
I know there are probably various ways to approach this.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
Here is the sql for deleting duplicates.
DELETE FROM table1
WHERE mail_id in (SELECT mail_id FROM table1
          where not first_name = 'Null' and
not last_name = 'Null' and
          not city = 'Null' and
          not state = 'Null'and
not last_name = 'Anon'
          minus
          select min(mail_id) from table1
          group by first_name, last_name, city, state, address_1, organization, title);
THANKS in advance!!!!

Here's quick and dirty example probably a better way to do it, but this is what I came up with quickly.
My table looks like this:
MAIL_ID LAST FIRST PHONE REMARKS
123 Ruff Shawn 555-555-5555 Called 10-10-04
135 Ruff Shawn 555-555-5555 Called 10-12-04
201 Ruff Shawn 555-555-5555 Called 10-19-04
The code below will concatenate the remarks column from the rows, and delete the 135 and 201 rows, then update the 123 row with the concatenated remarks.
declare
l_remarks varchar2(500);
l_min_mail_id number;
begin
select min(mail_id) into l_min_mail_id
from test
group by last, first, phone;
select remarks into l_remarks from test where mail_id = l_min_mail_id;
for i in (select mail_id, remarks from test
     where last = 'Ruff'
          and first = 'Shawn'
          and phone = '555-555-5555'
          and mail_id <> l_min_mail_id)
loop
l_remarks := l_remarks||','||i.remarks;
delete from test where mail_id = i.mail_id;
end loop;
update test set remarks = l_remarks where mail_id = l_min_mail_id;
commit;
end;
Hope this helps.

What is the best way to save data from GPIB Device in a file?

HI!
I have a Keithley SourceMeter and want to save readings in a File along with settings on the front panel and timestamps plus several other infos. What is the best way to do this? Which file type? Any recommendations or hints could help me?
Thanks

Hi Andy,
There are 3 main file formats that you can consider writing your data out to in LabVIEW:
ASCII
Binary
Datalog
ASCII
ASCII files are useful because every operating system and almost every application can read/write ASCII format files. Use ASCII files when:
Other users or applications will need to access the data file.
You will not need to perform random access file I/O
File I/O speed is not crucial
Disk space is not crucial
Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write to Text File.vi and Read from Text File.vi
Binary
Binary byte stream files are more specific to data storage and retrieval. Use b
inary files when:
File I/O will remain in LabVIEW only -- no other applications will be needing to write/read that file. There is no standard formatting for binary files and thus other applications or operating systems may be unable to read the file.
Files are smaller than ASCII files
Easier and faster random access to data
Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Binary File.vi and Read Binary File.vi
Datalog
When to use datalog:
If you need to record data with a mixture of types, it can be cumbersome to convert everything to ASCII or to keep track of the binary formatting.
Datalog format is binary and internal to LabVIEW, so again only use this format if no other applications or operating systems will be needing to perform file I/O on the file.
Examples within LabVIEW Example Finder: Fundamentals >> File Input and Output >> Write Datalog File
Example.vi and Read Datalog File Example.vi
Good luck!

Best Way to send data from InfoProvider to DBTable

Hi all,
I need some advices on this subject :
I want to send some data, stocked in several InfoCubes, to a table.
This cubes are linked by a multicube (for queries).
I don't know the best way to send the data in a table :
- Use Open hub on each cube to send data
- Use ABAP code for extract data directly from MultiCube (possible?)
- Use open hub on multiprovider (I think it's not possible to plug a open hub to the Multiprovider...)
What is the best practice on that?
Can you help me please?
Thanks in advance,
Adrien.

Oh yes, my mistake.
I didn't think abuot the APD solution.
I think it should be a good one...
With the ABAP, it seems very difficult indeed.
I'm gonna check this way ! Thanks for your help Daniel !
And except the licence cost, the Open hub should be a good solution??

How is the best way to send data from local database into remote database ?

Hi all,
I need to send data from local Oracle database into remote oracle database. Both sites connected via 128 kbps frame relay connection.
The sending need to be done once a week, can be done nightly.
How is the best way to do this ?
Thank you very much,
xtanto

How is the best way to do this ?How much are you planning to send?
You can use COPY command. Ensure that you have valid database link between two databases.
Available options are:
create - creates a new table. errors out if the destination table exists.
replace - drop the destination table and re-creates with data.
insert - inserts data if the destination table exists.
append– appends data into an existing table.
use set arraysize 5000 -The arraysize specifies the number of rows that SQL*Plus will retrieve from the database at one time.
copy from scott/tiger@ORCL to scott/tiger@ORCL92 create new_emp using select * from emp;
