Decimal align data with variable significant figures

iWork Numbers: Is it possible to align number data in a column of cells by the decimal point? My data has varying places before and after the decimal point. (I don't want to display any trailing zeros.)

As far as I know, there is no tab stops in Numbers tables.
There is no decimal alignment.
I wish to add that the one available in text areas doesn't behave correctly (at least with the decimal comma). It behaves exactly like the tabtoright one.

APD query key date with variable for time dependent MD display attributes

Hello,
In a APD I use a query as a source with a query key date that is filled with a customer exit variable.
When I run the query as a user, the time dependent MD display attributes look fine. However, when I use the query in an APD, I get no values for the time dependent display attributes.
Any suggestions?
Thanks

Hi,
Try to run query using RSCRM_BAPI Tcode, this you can also schedule in background
Thanks

Problem with packed data type variable?

Hi all,
I have a problem while doing calculations with packed data type variables . As they are saving in the format '0,00'. so unable to do calulations because of ',' .
To convert these fields into str and replacing ',' with '.' is very time consuming because i have many packed data type variables.
Can you please provide any other alternative for over coming this problem? Is there any option while defining these variables?
Thanks,
Vamshi.

Hi VAMSHI KRISHNA,
First check out SU01 Tcode (if u don't have permission then u can ask BASIS to do it)
Enter User Name
Execute
Goto Defaults Tab
Check Out Decimal Notation here... set it 1,234,567.89
SAVE it
Log Off once and again login with the same user id and check the result...
Hope it will solve your problem..
Thanks & Regards

How do I create an interactive PDF file with variable data

We would like to basically do a 'mail merge' of our list of customers with an interactive PDF file (including videos, menus, etc - not just form fill out and web links) to create a single PDF file that contains multiple mail pieces ... one for each customer ... with each mail piece being customized for that customer. Customizations would include different greetings (Dear Bob, Dear Dana, etc), as well as different charts based on data unique to the customer, different photographs, etc.
I've seen that InDesign and Acrobat Professional can be used to create an interactive PDF (such as from http://tv.adobe.com/watch/ask-the-adobe-ones/14-calling-rufus-about-interactive-pdf-making). However I don't understand how I can insert data from a database, csv file, excel file etc into the PDF file so that each page, or each set of pages, within the PDF can be customized.
Can anyone point me to a tool to use for this?
Thanks,
Bob Kendall

For that kind of volume and unattended operation, you want InDesign Server – which is the server/high volume edition of INDD.

Hi ,
I have date formula variable with replacement path.
Variable pop up with date format yyyymmdd. but i want dd.mm.yyyy.
I have checked my user profile setting and it is dd.mm.yyyy.
Can u please suggest it .
Thanks

Thanks for the rely , but basically i need a variable only for selection.
thats why i have created formula variable processing my cutomer exit.
But i think customre exit variable comes with text format .

Sending data : Object variable or With block variable not set

Hi experts,
I try to send some in finance in Apshell data with EVDRE, an I get the error "Object variable or With block variable not set" !!!
I can process/save/reassign index/full optimize my application ans its OK.
Have you got any idea ?
thank you,

Hi mathias,
We faced similar issue and processing all the dimensions used in the application solved it then.
Now we get the same error while processing Time dimension and i am yet to find a solution.
Hope some experts may help us.

How can I do a multiple record data merge, but specify that a specific text frame with variable data only merges on the first record?

I'm doing a multiple record data merge, I have 2 frames both with variable data placed inside.
I would like to specify that one of the text frames only merges once(first record) and the other frame multiple times for each record in the data file.
Is it possible?
I thought that perhaps if I place the text frame that must merge once on the master page, it would work. But you are not allowed to place variable text on the master and on the document page.
I'm going to try it through scripting next, but thought that perhaps there is an easier way that I'm not aware of.
Thanks,
Suzanne

Suzanne,
If you were trying to post a screen shot, you would need to return to the forum and post it using the "camera" icon at the top of the post editing windows.
I use a plug-in from Em Software called InData. One of the benefits for what I do is there are no individual frames on a page to deal with post-merge. Individual frames are great for simple merges (address labels, post cards, etc.). But I typically do more other types of merges.
That said, there is a drawback--one needs to come to an understanding of writing expressions that actually parse the incoming data. So in the spice price list example, that looks like:
It's reasonably easy once one does it a few times. And it can be far more complicated. The above is from Em Software's samples that has been tweaked. The best thing I can recommend would be to download the trial and see for yourself. They are good at responding to specific questions if you get stumped.
I imagine this all could be scripted somehow in ID. But I have no idea how and the plug-in just lets me keep working.

Hi,
To create and set a bind variable in SQL*Plus, you can do this:
VARIABLE base_date_text   VARCHAR2 (20)
EXEC     :base_date_text := '01-Mar-2013 00:00:00';:base_date_text can now be used anywhere in your query where a string is allowed. Unfortunately, you can't have DATE bind variables, so that means it's only useful in calls to TO_DATE.
You could calll TO_DATE everywhere you are now calling SYSDATE, or you could do something like this:
with t2 as (
            select t.*,
                    lead(step_date) over(partition by order_nr order by step_date) next_step_date
                    TO_DATE (:base_date_text, 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')   AS base_date
              from table_2 t
           ) ...This adds a column to t2 called base_date, which is a real DATE. Anywhere in the main query, you can reference t2.base_date instead of SYSDATE.
If you want to be prompted to enter the value at run-time, then you can use SQL*Plus substitution variables, like this
ACCEPT base_date_text "Please enter the date to use (DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS format): "
with t2 as (
            select t.*,
                    lead(step_date) over(partition by order_nr order by step_date) next_step_date
                    TO_DATE ('&base_date_text', 'DD-Mon-YYYY HH24:MI:SS')   AS base_date
              from table_2 t
           ) ...Again, t2.base_date (a DATE) is now available anywhere in the main query.

Save data with more than 6 decimal places in SAP MDM 5.5

Hi there,
I need some help concerning saving data with about 20 decimal places (e.g. 0,00452961328622164) in MDM. I declared the datatyp "REAL", there are only 6 decimal places possible.
How can I save this Data? Maybe exponential function?
Please help.
Thank you
Thomas Pfab

currency takes you to 14 decimal places, if you want to have it as a little work around....you can always take out that symbol if it is annoying.(ohhh and decimal is multilingual too in currency, probably not a good hack!)
or without even knwoing what your requirement is? try normalizing the value, How many more decimal places can you hit?
One 100 1. "ten to the zero"
tenth 10-1 0.1 "ten to the minus one"
hundredth 10-2 0.01. "ten to the minus two"
thousandth 10-3 0.001. "ten to the minus three"
ten thousand 10-4 0.0001. "ten to the minus four"
hundred thousandth 10-5 0.00001. "ten to the minus five"
millionth 10-6 0.000001 "ten to the minus six"
ten millionth 10-7 0.0000001. "ten to the minus seven"
hundred millionth 10-8 0.00000001. "ten to the minus eight"
billionth 10-9 0.000000001. "ten to the minus nine"
ten billionth 10-10 0.0000000001. "ten to the minus ten"
hundred billionth 10-11 0.00000000001. "ten to the minus eleven"
trillionth 10-12 0.000000000001 "ten to the minus twelve"
ten trillionth 10-13 0.0000000000001. "ten to the minus thirteen"
hundred trillionth 10-14 0.00000000000001. "ten to the minus fourteen"
and put that field label indicating the 10th power. Like "Accuracy in 10 POW -9"
Just a wild guess.well thats how we usually show data in catalogues too!
(or)
separate the integer and decimal portions into two fields and store it in the repository.(split on ',')

Data plug-in for binary data with byte streams of variable length

Hi there,
I would like to write a data plug-in to read binary data from file and I'm using DIAdem 10.1.
Each data set in my file consists of binary data with a fixed structure (readable by using direct access channels) and of a byte stream of variable length. The variable length of each byte stream is coded in the fixed data part.
Can anyone tell me how my data plug-in must look like to read such kind of data files?
Many thanks in advance!
Kind regards,
Stefan

Hi Brad,
thank you for the very quick response!
I forgot to mention, that the data in the byte stream can actually be ignored, it is no data to be evaluated in DIAdem (it is picture data and the picture size varies from data set to data set).
So basically, of each data set I would like to read the fixed-structure data (which is the first part of the data set) and discard the variable byte stream (last part of the data set).
Here is a logical (example) layout of my binary data file:
| fixedSize-Value1 | fixedSize-Value2 | fixedSize-Value3 (=length of byte stream) | XXXXXXXXXXXXX (byte stream)
| fixedSize-Value1 | fixedSize-Value2 | fixedSize-Value3 (=length of byte stream) | XXXXXX (byte stream)
| fixedSize-Value1 | fixedSize-Value2 | fixedSize-Value3 (=length of byte stream) | XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX (byte stream)
What I would like to show in DIAdem is only fixedSize-Value1 and fixedSize-Value2.
´
If I understood right, would it be possible to set the BlockLength of each data set by assigning Block.BlockLength = fixedSize-Value3 and to use Direct Access Channels for reading fixedSize-Value1 and fixedSize-Value2 ?
Thank you!
Kind regards,
Stefan

Problem with restricted key-figure using off-set variable

Hello Gurus,
I have created a query in Bex Query Designer with a key figure restricted. This key figure shows me the 0amount value for the last month. When I select 003.2009, the key figure brings the 002.2009 values. I used an off-set variable to do this
It works!
But when I show this key-figure in Webi, no value shows up on the table.
Any suggestions?

Which variable are you using in BEx and in WEBI to restrict the month/year?

Data Slice With Variables- not working

Dear All,
We are in BI 7.0.
We have tried the data slice with variables approach and it is not working for us.
We need to lock the plan data for the past periods. For this, We have created a data slice (selection) with variable of type customer exit for fiscalyear/period. How to populate this variable with the past month's data?. For Bex variables, this can be done in the cmod exits. Can we use the same cmod exits for populating data slice variable too?. If yes, then how this works?.( In case of Bex variable, the variable will be used in the characterics restriction (like fiscper) and hence this is getting filled up by the exit. How this works for the data slice variable?.
Thanks for any suggestions/help.
Regds
velu

Thanks for your response. Let me clarify one more thing related to this. I have 10 characterstics with a kf 0amount at my Aggregation level and i want to create a data slice to restrict the user not to change the data for the older periods. So, do i have to use all characterstics like my agg level or do i have to use only the fiscal year period?
and the other thing is that it won't let me use a variable when i select the exit function for the fiscal year period when i created my data slice? where i can specify the variable name? is that at the settings tab or some where else?
Thanks,

Problem with variable name in ZXRSRTOP include (virtual KF)

Hi all,
I am coding a routine to use a virtual key figure in the BEx.
I have just a little problem with the name of a variable:
as explained in the documentation, I created the variable with the prefix G_POS_, the name of the infocube and the name of the infoobject all together:
DATA: G_POS_BC_ST_003_C_DIV__C_COMPAR type i.
The problem is that this variable name is longer than 30 characters, so the system doesn't accept it.
Is there a workaround, other than changing the name of the infoobject (which is a navigational attribute)?
Any help would be appreciated.
Loï

Hello Marc,
I understand that I have to use a concatenate function and a dynamic call of the variable with (variable) instruction, but i do not understand how to implement it.
the infocube name is BC_ST_003
the characterisdtic name is C_DIV__COMPAR
So, in the include ZXRSRTOP the statement
DATA : G_POS_BC_ST_003_C_DIV__COMPAR
does not work due a length problem (see first post)
But in the same include the statement
+DATA: l_global_name type c.
concatenate 'GPOS' 'BC_ST_003' 'C_DIV__C_COMPAR' into l_global_name separated by '_'.+
drives to the following error : statement is not accessible.
Could u please provide me with an example of the code in the include ZXRSRTOP, and in the include ZXRSRZZZ for the use of this variable.
Thanks in advance.

Finite pulse-train generation with variable time lapses with NiDAQmx

Being a newby in Labview and NiDAQmx, I find it tedious to program the application I need to drive my experiment : I want to generate a finite pulse train, with variable delays between two consecutive pulses. These delays are known before the experiment starts, summurized in a table (element 0 decribes the time lapse between pulse 0 and 1, element 1 between pulse 1 and 2 ...). I would like to use NiDAQmx to program this. I had in mind the following scheme : two counters, first one counting time between pulses, the second one generating the pulse once "counter one" has finished his job. What I don't figure out is how to reprogram "counter one"'s register, without introducing unwanted delays in the time
sequence of my finite pulse train. I am using a 6052E DAQ, and I want to generate delays in a same pulse train ranging from 1 microsecond up to 20 seconds.
Thank you for ANY help :-)

Hello !
Well, I will try to be more precise while answering your questions. But first let me thank you very much for your help : your comments, questions and remarks are very helpful to help me shape my project, as you shed light on particular problems I strictly had no idea before !
1) I can certainly get on well with digital output as my flash device is triggered by TTL signals.
2) The lighting device is home-made, and I think it will be better for my needs to produce light throughout the duration of the input at the “on” level. In any case it will be driven by TTL-like signals. The intensity is manually set, so no analog control is required.
3) I will use Labview to collect the experimental data. The signal will be sampled during the light pulse : the rising edge of the TTL-like output signal will trigger both the lighting device and the data acquisition, the latter being stopped on the falling edge. The light emitted by the lighting device is called a “probe” for the following reasons : the photons are absorbed by the photosynthetic sample and “immediately” re-emitted at a longer wavelength. A photodiode acts as a signal transducer, and I monitor the intensity of this fluorescence. Knowing precisely when light pulses occurred after the initial start excitation (which is also a brief pulse of light but of a much greater intensity than the “probe” light) and the intensity of light emitted during theses pulses, I can reconstruct the kinetic of fluorescence decay. This kinetic reflects the behaviour of my biological sample. Thus no continuous acquisition is required as between two light pulses there is nothing to monitor. And all the half-time reaction are timed relative to the same “start” excitation as they reflect a jump sequence of an electron extracted by the “start” excitation : first jumps are quick ones (half-time in the 10 �s range) and last jumps are slow ones (half-time in the 1 s range). With respect to these kinetics, I would like a 1 �s precision. If not achievable, I could skip the quickest jump (but it would be a pity) and focus on the second one which has a 10 ms half-time reaction and a 100 �s precision would then be enough. But as we say in French : “Qui peut le plus, peut le moins !” (roughly meaning that when you can achieve the best, you easily can do the least). This precision relates to the position of one flash with respect to the others. I don’t need to be very precise on the duration of each individual light pulse : a typical value is 100 �s duration, but I can get on well with 90 �s or 110 �s, my data being an average of the light intensity emitted during the light pulse). All I want to know precisely is when it is fired.
4) Concerning the hardware, I already have a NI 6052E DAQ board, and unfortunately my laboratory cannot allow me to spend more money on this. I also have a fast acquisition board (IMTEC T3012) I intended to use to acquire my photodiode signal in place of the 6052E A/D converter. It has an old Labview driver, and I managed to upgrade it to suit my needs. It has an onboard segmented memory and can keep track precisely (it has a 60 MHz sample clock) of a trigger event. I am wondering if I can overcome the timing precision issue with this board, knowing that I strictly don’t care that flash n�1 is triggered at (t0 + 10 �s) or (t0 + 11 �s), provided that I know it, allowing me to place precisely my data point on the time scale. I can program the number of memory segments (i.e. the number of light pulses) and each one is filled with data coming from the photodiode upon receiving the rising edge triggering the light pulse. The precise date at which each triggered is received is stored in the board memory, allowing time reconstruction.
I do hope this is much clearer than my previous attempts ! Believe me, it is quite hard to leave biology for a while and enter the cryptic world of data acquisition !

Is there a linear equations VI thatI can use for inputting the coefficients with variables attached to them? Thank you.

Is there a linear equation VI that I can use for inputting the coefficients with variables attached to them? I am currently studying elec engineering and am in the thick of transient analysis. It is very time consuming figuring the mesh and nodal analysis in the transform domain. With 3 branches in a mesh analysis the resistors, inductors and capacitors are represented with variable s in them. I need to determine in the transform domain then convert to the time domain. One equation goes like this: (3+2s+1/4s)i1s - (2s)i2s - (1/4s)i3s = 6/s -6. The other equations are similar. I must keep the variable s in the equation and solve it with s in the result. I made several VIs for determining simultaneous linear equations some for complex numbers and they work great. This one has me a little stumped. I thinking that maybe Labview doesn't have a VI for this. The other VIs were fine because you just plugged in the numbers and ran the VI and got your result. Any VIs that do LaPlace transform operations?
Thank you.
