Erratic behavior with calculated fields

A new issue,
I am working on a form with a great many numeric input fields.
These fields are used in a series of calculations
Item one - The first calcualted field sub-totals a column of numbers
Item two - The second calculated field subtracts a column of numbers from that sub-total
Item 3 - The third calcualted field is the totals four columns like the one listed above.
Item 4 - The last calculation is the total above divided by four.
A simple calculation is uses to enter this total at the start of the next page and so forth throughout the form.
The problem is that sometimes as I add figures to item one, the number does not always update in item four right away. I kind of have to jimmy with the entries a little. Itis like the totals column lags behind by one entry.
I also get a number of issues when going backwards and removing entries.
Any thoughts on what I am doing wrong?
Steve

Thanks much...this occured to me as well after I posted this...felt kind of dumb actually. But that was indeed the correct
solution.
Thanks much.

Trouble with calculating fields. Can't select (check) fields. Also can't figure out what's wrong with a division field (percent) that I created. Keep getting the pop up that format of the field doesn't allow blah blah blah... Help!

Trouble with calculating fields. Can't select (check) fields. Also can't figure out what's wrong with a division field (percent) that I created. Keep getting the pop up that format of the field doesn't allow blah blah blah... Help!

1. Use the mouse to select the field and then press the space bar.
2. A null string is the same as zero. What is the result for division by zero?

Data missing in Crosstab report with calculated field via case when

I use the Oracle 10g discoverer. When I create a crosstab report with a calculate field via function case when and put it as datapoint, some of the data is not showing. I tried to not use the case when function for the calculate field, then all the data show.
I really do not the reason. Could anybody help me out with many thanks?

Let me explain more.
I have the original data below.
Work order, Team, Hours_worked, date
800001, S1, 5, 2012/01/01
800001, S1, 15, 2012/01/10
800001, S2, 4, 2012/01/04
800002, S1, 3, 2012/01/15
There are multipul records for the same work order, team on the same day or different.
Finally I want to set the start date and end date as the parameter to create a crosstab report format like
start date>=2012/01/01 and close date<=2012/01/05
Team
Total hours total hours within the range
Work order S1 S2 ... S1 S2 ...
800001 20 4 5 4
800002 3 0 0 0
in order to do it, I create two parameters independently start date and close date. Then I create a calculate field hours_worked_withinrange via
Case when date>=:start date and date<=:end date then Hours_worked else 0 end
This calculated field is correct in the tabular format report in discoverer desktop. But when I duplicate the list as crosstab. Some data is missing in crosstab data point.
I checked once I change the calculate field defination not use case when. (For example, C1=hours_worked*2). Then everything runs correct.

Cause of Erratic Behavior With Tethered Shooting

The first time I tried tethered shooting with my Nikon D3 and D2XS, I experienced very erratic behavior, including the import window popping up and images not downloading from the camera even though the software said they were.
I struggled with these issues for over an hour and discovered a very simple fix: Consult the camera manual. Nikon specifies a very specific procedure. First, make sure any CF cards you have in the camera are empty. Second, change the camera's USB setting to MTP/PTP. Third, TURN THE CAMERA OFF (VERY IMPORTANT). Fourth, connect the camera to your computer. Fifth, launch the software and go into Tether mode. Sixth, turn the camera on and start shooting.
When I did this, everything worked perfectly. The erratic behavior disappeared.
One other word of advice. Give a few extra seconds for the first image to download. They seem to speed up after that.

I would set both express in bridge mode and set to join or create its own network.
If you want excellent range then use ethernet to the express, set in bridge mode, set to create its own network and place the express more middle of the house.
Regarding the TC , keep it in an open environment especially if using N only mode(signal strength).

Erratic behavior with multiple calls to the same RFC

Hi,
I am running into a strange problem invoking a custom RFC from a .NET application. I would appreciate it if someone has any insight into it.
The steps to call the RFC are straightforward:
1. Open the connection to SAP server
2. Make the call
3. Close the connection
As you can imagine, the code is also quite simple.
In my simulation program, I have a button on a UI form that one can click and execute the above steps.
The problem I am running into is that, on multiple calls, sometimes the parameter values that show up on the SAP side are not right. When the input parameter (a structure) is viewed in the ABAP debugger, the field values are all getting exchanged. For example, first name field contains values for the last name. Also, some fields that are supposed to have values do not have any.
Just before the RFC call is made, when we look at the structures on the .NET side, the field values are the way they are supposed to be.
I have not been able to establish a pattern. Sometimes, it takes two clicks to reproduce this problem. Sometimes it takes five.
One of the team members thinks that this starts occurring right after one call fails for some valid reasons. However, I am not yet convinced.
Having written many custom .NET applications using RFCs an BAPIs, I am fairly conversant with the technology. However, this one just baffles me. It appears something is getting messed up at the RFC layer itself. Does anyone have any idea on what could be happening?
Thank you in advance for your help.

Indeed this is interesting .
The problem is caused by an incompatible change from .NET Framework 1.1 to 2.0. Howerver, the documentation on the 1.1. API was not clear enough to decide if the incompatible change was adequate or not. Now in detail:
NCo runtime uses the reflection API Type.GetProperties to read and cache all properties of a Proxy structure. NCo assumes that the order of the returned properties is the same on each call and especially that it is the order of the properties as they appear in source code. This was the behavior in .NET 1.1. It has changed in 2.0, see e.g. the internet forum discussion in http://www.thescripts.com/forum/thread455492.html .
Calling Type.GetProperty(<PropertyName>) or Type.SetProperty(<PropertyName>) in your code moves the mentioned properties up in the list returned by Type.GetProperties() later inside of NCo.
We found the following work-arroud:
When using late-binding, call a dummy Type.GetProperties() before any GetProperty or SetProperty.

Need help with calculated fields in Adobe Interactive Forms

Hi Gurus,
I have an Adobe Interactive form in which i have radio buttons. Upon selecting any of the radio buttons, value in text box should be changed( Calculqated filedS). How i can achieve this?

Hi Tapan
No, it's working ,with one remark.
I've done a mistake, in the final formula. The logic remain the same! ;)
The calculation values for second column ( COL2 ) are 1,2,3 and not 0,1,2 as I wrote before and as for COL1 are so the formula is
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",1,IF(COL2="YYZ",2,3)
and not
=3*if(COL1="ABC",0,IF(COL1="DEF",1,2)+if(COL2="RST",0,IF(COL2="YYZ",1,2)
I created also a real example for you, with 2 dif calculation ways . First I created 2 calc_columns for COL1 and COL2 ( CALC_COL1+CALC_COL and after I added both these 2 column , and second way is to calculate directly) .

Erratic behavior with Snow Leopard

This summer on vacation I was on the Internet via Wifi when my cursor started jumping around erratically. I couldn't get control of the trackpad, windows and programs would open by themselves. Desktop Icons changed size by themselves. The problems were intermittent; some days everything was normal.
Since I got back home everything works normally except: the Desktop Icons still change size occasionally by themselves, and System Preferences crashes whenever I try to open it.
Do I need to reinstall the OS?
Thanks for suggestions.

From a point of view of keeping your sanity (and your hair!) I would go with the ATI chip, I'm talking from over 15 years of experience with both Mac's and PC's using both ATI and Nvidia graphics chips and always found ATI products more robust and reliable yes on occasion Nvidia out performs ATI but in the next breath ATI out performs Nvidia and so the circle goes !! But as I say from a purely hardware point ATI all the way.

Erratic Behavior with 2.1

When I attempt to create a new version of a raw image (NEF) in 2.1, either through cropping or color correcting, the screen often goes blank. When I go back to the browswer only mode, I can see the original image with a number on it, as though I have created a stack. However, I can't access the stacked image. The only way to get at it is by quitting Aperture, relaunching the app and going back to the browser where I now find all the variations unstacked.
This is very frustrating!

I've noticed that when making adjustments in 2.1 sometimes the image will go completely black. It seems to have only started doing this recently but it is doing it on two different Aperture installations. Not sure if any of the recent Apple updates did anything that broke it, but for now it's pretty much unusable.

Erratic behavior with Photoshop with layers

Hello All
I am writing for a friend of mine (here in Italy) who has not been able to resolve some major problems with his computer. I specified photoshop above as he generally on uses this program (he is a professional photographer), but it does appear to be a software problem. He has already changed his graphic card (Radeon 9600 Pro), so this is not the problem.
I will try to summarize his problems (problems which have happened since he bought his computer two years ago):
1. When he uses layers in photoshop, and only with layers, sometimes a channel is randomly moved and transformed into the complementary color. Although this happens in all three channels it is more prevalent in one of the channels. He is using CS2 (original), but had the same problem with CS1.
2. there are also red pixels randomly on the files (this too, though, is sporadic)
3. when he prints, he can go through the entire day of printing and all of the sudden one of the pictures will have a problem (and that problem will continue until he restarts the printer). His printer is an Epson 4000. The motherboard in this printer has also been changed.... two times!
Do you think that this is a problem with reading and writing?
He has reinstalled the system more than once, and now the problem is worse than it has ever been. While at the beginning it happened once in a great while, now these problems are getting worse and he is seriously worried about ruining his files (that he needs, obviously, for his work). Here in Italy he hasn't been able to find anyone who can fix these problems. As a photographer you can imagine how important it is for him to not have a reliable means to work on his photos.
If any of you have advice we would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you.

Problem with calculated fields

Hello,
I have an acces table like this:
Id_Customer Type Currency
1 Credit 1000,00
1 Credit 100,25
1 Debt 500,45
1 Debt 50,55
What I wanna do is to displayed the following result:
Total Credit: 1100,25
Total Debt: 560,00
Total: 540,25
I am using ASP VBScript.
Maybe is quite simple, but i can't figured it out.
Any help will be very appreciated.
Thanks.
Gilson

SELECT SUM(Currency) AS Credit
FROM someTable
WHERE Id_Customer=1 AND Type=Credit
SELECT SUM(Currency) AS Debt
FROM someTable
WHERE Id_Customer=1 AND Type=Debt
If you have multiple Customers in the same table, then you'll
want to look
at using GROUP BY

Issue with web part connections : won't display data when the lookup field is a calculated field

Hello,
I have a list A with a calculated field named A.A. I have a list B that has a lookup field to list A, to field A.A, named B.A. I add the two lists in a wiki page and I try to connect them - I.E., select a row from A and the rows from B would be automatically
filtered.
The B\Connections\get filtered values from A and select Provider:A.A, Consumer B.A doesn't bring any results. If I do the exact opposite: A\Connections\get filtered values from B and select Provider:B.A, Consumer A.A works fine. But, this is not what
I want.
If the A.A isn't calculated field, everything works fine. So, it looks like there's an issue with calculated fields acting as consumers.
Is this a known issue and are there any know workarounds? A workaround is to abandon calculated field and use sharepoint designer workflow.
Thank you
Christos

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that you had issues about connecting web parts.
I try to reproduce the issue, however, everything works well.
Create a custom list named List A, add a caculated column named A.A(Formula: =Title).
Create a custom list named List B, add a lookup column named B.A(List A: A.A).
Create a page and then insert the two list view web parts.
Edit page, select List B->Connections->Get Filtered Values From List A.
Then I can filter the List B.
I recommend to create another caculated column and get filter value form it to check whether it works.

Calculated fields based on data in multiple rows

Hi,
I am using SOA Suite 11.1.1.4 for BAM.
Can someone please help explain to me if and how we can use calculated fields in BAM data objects where the calculations are not only based on the data for that row, but on multiple rows ?
Like for example, this case can easily be constructed -->
TestDataObject Layout
Column1 integer
Column2 integer
Column3 calculated = Column1 + Column2
But if I want to create something like this -->
TestDataObject Layout
Column1 integer
Column2 integer
Column3 calculated = max(Column1) + avg(Column2)
Is it possible to do the above ?
Is it possible to check multiple rows of the other columns while calculating a value ?
Thanks & Regards,
Karan.

Hi, Karan.
Do you know you can do that in reports with calculated fields?
I guess it is not possible using calculating functions offered in data objects to do that.
If you, or anybody, discover how do that, please tell us. I would like to know that.

Calculated fields don't update after changes are made

Hi, I am having trouble with calculated fields updating. Here is what I have:
Field a + field b = calculated field c
Field d + field e = calculated field f
Then I have another calculated field (call it field g) to add up field c and f. At first it works fine, but if you change what was input in a b d or e, it doesn't update the calculation in field g.
Thanks

The field calculation order is probably not correct. How you set it depends on what version of Acrobat you're using:
Acrobat 9: Forms > Add or Edit Fields, then: Forms > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order
Acrobat 10: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/acrobat/pro/using/WS58a04a822e3e50102bd615109794195ff-7de2.w.h tml
Set it to what makes sense for your form.

Siri "show reminders" command erratic behavior

iPhone 4s and iPad 3 both with iOS 8.1
when asking Siri to "show reminders" it sometimes show them on Siri's display and other times it just open the Reminder application.
Before on iOS 7 it would only "show reminders" in Siri's display, and then open the application if asked for ("open Reminders application").
Has also someone else noticed this erratic behavior with these commands, and have a solution to fix it?

Thanks Tom,
That's the crazy part - sometimes I'm doing nothing - I have no airport installed or any wireless accessories either.
When it last acted upon (after writing 1st post) I played along - since it thought there was a disk in the drive I went ahead and gave a command to burn to it. When it said there was no cd inside , I canceled the operation. So far so good.
My suscpicion is that there was/is an uncompleted command somewhere - but I've no idea what would trigger the drive to remind it of this. Weird huh?
I would like to avoid the 10.4.9 upgrade as my research doesn't give enough favorable input on the Apple Discussions pages to warrant it.
Any other ideas what it could be?

Problem with Math In Calculated Fields

I am calculating a group incident rate for data returned from
a query. The formula is Number of cases multiplied by 200000
divided by number of hours worked. Cases in my report is the
calculated field: calc.CaseSum (the sum of cases for the group)
Hours is calc.SumHours (the sum of hours for the group). The actual
values for these variables (for the first group are 48 and 29427171
respectively. When I create the following calculated field called
rate using the formula: (calc.CaseSum * 200000) / calc.SumHours,
Cold Fusion Generates a Runtime Error:
Invalid ColdFusion expression in report. If the expression is
a string, ensure that it is within quotes. Error: (calc.CaseSum *
200000) / calc.SumHours is not a valid ColdFusion expression.
If I use the constant value "29427171" as the divisor, the
report works albeit only for the first group. Any ideas; is this a
bug, or am I misusing the product?
Addition: I forgot to mention I am using CF8. Also this
formula worked fine as a Report Total before I introduced grouping
and modified the calculated fields to reset on the change of a
group.

Sorry, I've been on another project for awhile. This problem
will certainly be a "show stopper" for me if I cannot resolve it.
As I mentioned in my original post, I used a constant in the
formula in lieu of the variable and the calculation worked. This
would suggest that CF does not have a problem with a large number.
In spite of that reasoning, I tried Tony's suggested (thanks
by the way!) with the identical outcome, only difference is the new
formula is displayed in the error message.
Tony, you also suggested that I set the variables using
CFSET... How would I do this within the report writer environment.
I had tried a similar approach: to perform half the calculation
i.e. that within the parenthesis, and assign that value to a
separate "calculated field: and then perform the rest of the
calculation on that variable with the same outcome.
I think that I may be dealing with a CF bug here, I'd like to
find a workaround... I've noticed that CF8 has a new patch, perhaps
after I apply it, I may be able to get this thing to work. I'm on
another project right now so it will be a few days before I can
test this theory, I report the result.
Should this fail, and no one can come up with a workaround, I
will report this to Adobe.
