ALV - show blank cell if numeric value is zero

Hi
I have an ALV with serveral numeric and decimal fields.
Is it possible without a lot of effort (like assigning a separate cell with the visibilty attribute for each cell) to hide the cell content if the value is zero instead of showing 0 or 0,00 and so on .
Thanks
Thomas

I have a feeling that a cell variant or dynamic manipulation of visibility is going to be the correct answer. The data type rules will always fire for the conversion exit on output. You could maybe create a custom domain with its onw conversion exit but I would think that would actually lead to more work than just using hte cell variant/visibility property.

ALV WebDynpro Hierarchy -Setting non-numeric values in the header level row

Hi Experts,
When setting up an ALV table as a table hierarchy the standard ALV settings only seem to allow for numeric values to be displayed in the higher hierarchy levels. Is there a way to also set the values for some non-numeric columns into these higher-level rows - programmatically or through the ALV Settings?
Example: I have delivery item level data in my context and the delivery number as a hierarchy column. Some columns in my context however actually come from the delivery header e.g. delivery block, delivery priority, ship-to etc and I would like to display these in the collapsed header rows of the delivery number.
It seems obvious to me that this should be doable otherwise if you are looking at at a list of hundreds of deliveries and all you see besides the delivery number is numeric data such as sums & totals, it's kind of hard to know which delivery you might want to expand the sub-level for.
Please help,
Peter

Hi,
Even we have faced the same issue.
In ALV hierarchy, we cannot display data at header items/levels. this is a constraint in ALV. You can achieve the same usign TABLE UI element.

Forms, $_POST and showing data between to numeric values

Hi.
Really stuck with my SQL query.... pretty new to SQL so struggaling with this... heres my scenario..
I have a Form on a .php page that has drop down menus for a user to select options based on location, type of job and min. salary and max. salary. This then submits using the POST method the results of the options (using $_REQUEST) to a results.php page.
The text field queries work great.... with this query:-
SELECT jobs.clocation, jobs.Ref_id, jobs.RefCode, jobs.jobtitle, jobs.blurb, jobs.Consultant, jobs.Salary, jobs.tlocation, jobs.Sector, jobs.Type
FROM jobs
WHERE jobs.clocation = '$_REQUEST[clocation]' AND jobs.Sector = '$_REQUEST[Sector]' AND jobs.Type = '$_REQUEST[Type]'
Where I'm having problems is getting it to work with the values... I'd like them to be able to choose a Min Salary.. (the drop down menu includes options of 10000 , 20000, etc) and a Max Salary (again 10000 , 20000 etc) and then the results show any data between those values.
Cant figure out where I am going wrong.. please help
Thank you

Sure. And it works even better for a hacker. That is, perhaps, the most insecure piece of code I have seen in a long time.
First off, $_REQUEST is insecure because it contains POST, GET, and cookie values.
Next, you're injecting $_REQUEST values directly into your SQL query. Hackers will have a field day trashing your database. Take a look at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SQL_injection to see the danger you're exposing yourself to.
If you're using the PHP mysql functions, you must pass your values first to mysql_real_escape_string(). You should also use $_POST or $_GET instead of $_REQUEST.
As for getting results between different values, use BETWEEN ... AND (http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.0/en/comparison-operators.html#operator_between).

Average of a set of numbers, excluding empty cells (but including cells with a value of zero)

Hi, I have two tables in my spreadsheet (a personal budget) showing all my expenses spread over time. In the first table, each column is a month and year, each row is a type of expense (gas, rent, groceries, etc).
October 2013
November 2013
December 2013
February 2014
Income
3000.00
3200.00
2800.00
Gas
85.00
95.00
75.00
Rent
1200.00
1200.00
1200.00
Groceries
110.00
130.00
150.00
Eating Out
92.00
76.00
80.00
Clothes
0.00
90.00
30.00
The second table is this month's expenses so far (I enter the figures for "X Month, So Far" in a third table, which doesn't factor in here).
December 2013, So Far
Average +/-
Income
2800.00
-200.00
Gas
75.00
-15.00
Rent
1200.00
0
Groceries
150.00
+30.00
Eating Out
80.00
-4.00
Clothes
30.00
-15.00
I want the correct formula for the Average +/- column. I want it to calculate the monthly average for that particular type of expense, and then calculate the difference from this month's expenses so far. The key is that I want it to add all the sums from a particular row with any value in their cells, even if it's zero. For instance, all of the examples above would divide the sums by two - even the row for Clothes, which has a cell with 0.00, but I would need that to count as a value.
Also, when calculating the average, I would want the formula to exclude the current month, which is entered automatically in the next column.
I would need a formula I wouldn't have to change every month. Can you help?

Hi sk,
"The key is that I want it to add all the sums from a particular row with any value in their cells, even if it's zero. For instance, all of the examples above would divide the sums by two - even the row for Clothes, which has a cell with 0.00, but I would need that to count as a value."
What you've described is the default condition for AVERAGE over a range of cells—any cell containing a numerical value is included, and cell that is empty or contains a text value is ignored. Here are some examples:
Creating a constant formula that will ignore the current (and future) month(s) can be done by ensuring that the amounts in the current month are seen as Text, rather than as numbers, as I've done in column C of row 6.
This can be done using a formula to transfer amounts from the 'third table' you mention to the first table in your example (showing monthly expenses for earlier months and partial totals for the current month). The formula would use IF to add text to the begining or end of the totals IF the column was for the current month, but to transfer of=nly the monthly totals for previous months.
=IF(earlier-month,"xx"&formula,formula)
Both instances of formula are the same—whatever formula you are currently using to transfer the amounts to this tabe.
An alternate method would be to add a second header row to the top of the forst table, and place checkboxes into thoes cells. Check the box when you want to incude that column's values in the averages.
For this method, AVERAGE would be replaced with AVERAGEIF, with the 'IF' condition a simple reference to the row of checkbox cells. As each month passed, the only change needed would be to check the box in the just-passed month's column.

Barry

ALV wrong (blank) Cell Color in Checkbox-Column

I have several columns with checkboxes in an ALV. (Editor = Checkbox)
The color is set with set_cell_design_fieldname( ).
Some of the cells are set to invisible with set_visible_fieldname( )
For these cells the value for the cell design is cl_wd_abstr_master_table_col=>e_cell_design-standard.
Some of these (invisible) cells are displayed with white color.
Most of the cells are correctly displayed in light blue.
Service-Pack level is 15. (SAP_BASIS)
Thanks in advance
Bernhard

Valid values for Color are from 1 to 7. So in your Loop at IT_EKPO as you are assigning LD_Color with Sy-tabix value, the first 7 are getting different colors and the remaining 8,9,10 are getting default color as color value 8,9,10 are invalid. Check the below logic which would generate 1 to 7 for the sy-tabix value 1 to 10.
LOOP AT IT_EKPO into wa_ekpo.
LD_color = ( SY-TABIX - 1 ) mod 7 + 1. " Returns 1 to 7 for different Sy-tabix values
WA_CELLCOLOR-FNAME = 'EBELN'.
WA_CELLCOLOR-COLOR-COL = LD_color.
WA_CELLCOLOR-COLOR-INT = '1'.
..... " Existing logic
ENDLOOP.

Export from ALV to Excel - problem with numeric values

hi folks,
when exporting from alv to excel and we have negative values (and using an u.s.a. setting where . and , are different to r/3) negetive values are not shown correctly in excel.
when changing in win nt the regional settings to europe one's (e.g. germany) everything works fine.
any hints welcome,
kind regards
oliver

I guess this has something to do with the excel settings. In the control panel you have regional settings.try some options there. It might work.

Completely blank cells where no value found

It is schoo reports time again and I need a quick answer to solve a frustrating problem.
I am picking up data from another table and one section I formulated to return a tick (using Wingdings 2) where it was filled in on the input table and I want nothing in the cell if there is nothing on the input sheet.

Applescript returns incorrect value with blank cell

Imagine there is a column of numbers, some which might have the value 0.0 and some which are blank. Imagine wanting to append a data set at the first blank cell using Applescript. As Applescript is currently implemented in Numbers, this is not possible. See the following test.
1. In Numbers, create a new blank spreadsheet.
2. Select cell "A1".
3. Format as text.
4. Execute the following line of Applescript,
tell application "Numbers" to get value of cell "A1" of table 1 of sheet 1 of front document
It returns "0.0".
I would expect a return "" since it is a empty cell formated as text, no less.
Because of this, there is no way to find a blank cell since a blank cell returns a value of 0.0 which might be a valid entry.
Anyone have any ideas for a work around?

The value of a blank (empty) cell IS zero.
The value of a cell containing a string whose length is zero contains "".
Given that, I will post a report because I'm not sure than the value returned in AppleScript is the good choice.
In AppleWorks for a blank cell, the returned value was "".

Problem in showing blank records in tableview.

Hi All,
The requirement is to show a tableview which is completely(contains no data in any cell) blank. The user enters data as free text.
I managed to create an internal table with blank records and using it for the tableview so that the table view shows blank cells , where user can punch data.
I need to do some validations if the cell is initial(user have not enterd any data and press the button)
Now the problem is that , all cells conatin a SPACE (dont have an idea where it is coming from) and thus cells are not INITIAL.
I tried using condense and replace all occurences of cl_abap_char_utilities=>cr_lf , but the space is not removed.
Any one having any idea , why this space is coming or how INITIALIZE the work area.

I'm trying to write a formula to return a blank cell if the condition is met, and to show the numerical difference if not. Here is what I've written:=IF((F35-F29)=0, " ", (F35-F29)). It is returning 0.00, not a blank cell. Where is my error?

I'm trying to write a formula to return a blank cell if the condition is met, and to show the numerical difference if not. Here is what I've written:=IF((F35-F29)=0, " ", (F35-F29)). When the condition is met (i.e., the difference=0) it is returning 0.00, not a blank cell. Where is my error?

Without knowing what is in F35 and F29, I can only guess. Your formula matches what you said but if F35 and/or F29 are the results of formulas and are decimal numbers (not integers), it is very possible that they are not exactly the same number even though you think they should be. IEEE Floating Point math often has very very small errors so the answer is not exactly what you would get with a pencil and paper. Try one or both of these things:
Format the IF cell as scientific. is that 0.0 exactly zero? I suspect it will be some very tiny number.
Type the exact same number into F35 and F29 and see if your IF formula works as you expect.
You might need to use ROUND on F35, F29 and/or in your IF formula to get rid of the tiny math errors.
If you search the forum for floating point math or IEEE 754 you should find more than a few posts about Numbers and floating point math. Or you can read about IEEE 754 on Wikipedia. It trips up a lot of people.
Here is a common example. B2 and C2 are from the formulas shown in B1 and C1. They should both be exactly zero, if done with paper and pencil. Neither is exactly zero (though I have them formatted with 2 decimals so they appear to be 0.00), they are different from each other, and subtracting one from the other is also not exactly zero.

How to allow multiple values in a single blank cell in WebI report

Hi
I am working in BO XIR2. I have a scenario as follows.
In a single cell (blank cell from template) i need to display multiple contact persons. When I drag the contact person name into the blank cell, I am getting an error: MULTIVALUE). Please let me know how to use a function so that I can show two or three contact person names in a single blank cell.
I tried to use Replace and Char function as follows to bring Carriage Return functionality to the cell.
Replace([Contact Person]; ";" ; Char(13)) but this did not work.
Thanks in Advance.

BOUser11:
I know this thread has been answered. I recently came across a scenario where I happen to populate multiple values in a single blank cell(from templates). But the only catch being that if user enters multiple values for a prompt you can show them in a single cell eg: =UserResponse("Enter value(s) for Branch:"). would be the formula for the blank cell. Afetr the user selects three values say A, B,C, webi puts it in the format of A;B;C. in a single cell.
In your case try giving that as a prompt to the user or answer that multi prompt some how and when u use the above formula it should suffice your requirement.
Let me know if you have tried.
Thanks,

Fill in blank cells of a Pivot Table Value field area

Hi,
In this workbook (http://1drv.ms/1oHk0QV), a normal Pivot Table has been created on the "Pivot Table" worksheet. I'd like the blank cells of the Pivot Table to be filled up with the preceding non blank
value. So to take an example of Product A, the following is what I want:
1. H5:N5 should have 1
2. P5:S5 should have 2
3. U5:W5 should have 2
4. Y5:BA5 should have 3
The same should be done for the others as well.
I have attempted something on the "PowerPivot" worksheet but I do not get the correct result.
Please help.
Regards, Ashish Mathur Microsoft Excel MVP www.ashishmathur.com

there you go:
YourMeasure:=CALCULATE([State value],
LASTNONBLANK(FILTER(ALL(Table2[Week]), Table2[Week] <= MAX(Table2[Week])), [State value])
it basically finds the last week with a valid [State Value] and shows it

Pie chart legend showing digit "1" when we set "ignore blank cells"property

All,
We have pie chart in Xcelsius 2008 that shows the data with legend value and we have also set the ignore blank cells property to ignore the blank value from column. but once we set this property, it displays the digit "1" in the legend when there is no data.
we are expecting that nothing should be displayed in pie chart legend when there is no data for the pie chart.
Thanks,
Sourabh

hi Sourabh,
I could replicate your scenario.
Workaround is to create a duplicate of this chart. Go to properties of this new chart.
Go to Appearance ->
Uncheck
- Legend
- Mouse-over values
- Data Labels
for this chart.
Write a logic in excel using 'IF' to verify if your data is empty.
Use 'Dynamic Visibility' feature to display this chart only when your data is empty.
Display your original chart if your data is not empty.

How do I get my XML numeric values to show up when loaded into flash?

Hi there,
I've created an AS2 3D carousel It loads text values in the "content" section of the code below - including numbers and special characters into the .swf but...
What I can't figure out, is how to get it so that the "Tooltip" loads the text into the movieclip, but can also have numeric and special characters in it.
For example, I need the title of one of the icons on this carousel to be "3D Images," but only the "D Images" shows up from the XML text for the tooltip. The content when a user clicks on the icon can include numbers, just not the titles for some reason.
http://iongeo.com/collaboration_test_dev/video_arctic_imaging.html
I think it has something to do with the way that my text is loaded from the xml document specifically for the tooltip and tipText for the movie clip. Can numeric values be loaded into a movie clip in AS2? PLEASE HELP!
