Auto-generate table or list from other data

Hello,
I'm trying to figure out how to get Numbers (if it can) to generate and display a list. I'm not sure how to explain it well, so let me just give you an example.
I have a table that looks like this:
A 0
B 1
C 0
D 0
E 1
F 1
Where A through F are strings, and the 0 and 1s are determined by a formula based on other data in the spreadsheet. The point of the second column is to indicate if the corresponding item in the first column is "available" and can be chosen by the user, 1 meaning yes, 0 meaning no. So, for the example, all the requirements for "E" are met, and it can be chosen by the user; not so for "A." There are about 200 rows of data, so I'd rather have a formula or function than do it all manually.
I would like all the items (and only those items) in the first column that are available (as indicated by the second column) to be displayed in a table on a different sheet that the user is expected to interface with.
Hence, ideally that table would look like this:
B
E
F
and not like this:
(blank)
B
(blank)
(blank)
E
F
The goal is to then allow the user to select some or all of those available options (using check boxes in the next column). For what its worth, there's actually already a column before the string column that is a simple enumeration of rows; it's occurred to me that multiplying the "available" column by the enumeration will give a unique number for each available option and the same number, 0, for each unavailable option.
I really appreciate any advice you could give me!
Thanks!

Tstedman,
You have to remember that checkboxes are just a pretty way of stating TRUE or FALSE. There is no mechanism other than to click on them to change them. They are not controlled by formula.
Knowing nothing about how you are using the checkbox in you tables, the following is offered as a possible workaround. In this scenario you may change the checkbox setting in table 1 and the change will be reflected in Table 2. But the down side is that the reverse will not work and that a check "mark",not a check "box", appears in Table 2. Column B of Table 2 contains the formula:
=IF(ISBLANK(A2),"",IF(LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Table 1 :: C,Table 1 :: D),"√",""))
If this works for you, Great! If not, others may come up with a different workaround. The checkbox can be useful in cases where formulas in other cells refer to it ... but, it cannot refer to other cells.

Problem in using Auto-generated Table in Program

Hi experts,
I'm using some auto-generated table in my program. But the Problem is program is not activated due to non-existance of any type of table or structure or view of that Table type in the development server. i.e. table name in development is FMFMOADE12200014 and same in Production is FMFMOAPE14000018.
How can I solve this problem to active the program and transport it?
Thnaks in advance.
Goutam

Hi Friend ,
If an Auto-generated tables inside your program ,then you should not use that table directly as internal table type .
In that case you have used the Dynamic structure in your program .
tips is you should check first the table is there in the database through your programing using the standard function module for checking the table exsisting , then use the field symbols for dynmaic creating of program strucuture ,including field creation to tat strcuture . this will make your program more lines in that case you can write subroutine for creating the fields and adding inside the dynamice strucure .
simple example please see this link : [http://www.sap-img.com/ab030.htm]
becasuse we do have the same auto-generating table concept in Finance base on the Operating cencern out table name & fields inside will be changing ,Our program has to support world wide Rollouts . so we used dynamic structuring inside Our program .

Numbers-Auto Generating a numbered list in a column of cells

Having trouble creating an auto-generating numbered list in a single column. In text inspector I choose bullets>numbers>start at 1. The first cell is filled in with a "1", but when I hit return or down arrow the 1 disappears. If I go back and type a "1" again, two "1's" appear in the same cell. I'm trying to make a table with 250 rows. Not sure what I'm missing, as I'm new to iWork.

Numbers can fill a column or row of cells with a pattern. Type the first two numbers in the first two cells, select both cells, then click on the small circle at the lower right of the second cells & drag down to fill however many cells you want. You can see in this picture that it works for other patterns, not just consecutive numbers. I've also used it to fill across month names or dates.

Retrieving lists from other layer into a JSP page - Design Question

Hi all,
What should be a good design technique in order to allow a JSP page to present some list obtained from other layer of my application. I intend to leave only presentation logic in the JSP layer, while all data access will be in other layer.
For example, I have a JSP page that will show the results of a SQL query originated from an entry form in other JSP page. Let's name them 'search.jsp' and 'result.jsp'
I want that all JDBC access be done in some other layer.
Question 1:
What would be better for this task? A servlet or a bean? (A bean, I suppose?)
Then this bean (?) would have to find some way to pass all the result set into this 'result.jsp'. I think it would be very poor design if I used some Data Object, because it would have to store all rows and pass them at once.
I don't want, either, that the presentation (JSP) layer access directly the data access layer (JDBC, files...). This way, I don't want any JSP page accessing the Resultset object directly.
Question 2:
What do you think could be a good design technique?
I thought of some intermediate layer that provided data objects and data access interfaces. I mean, as my data will come from different sources, like some database (JDBC), some Electronic Document Manager, I thought of having a common access interface, that would provide methods for accessing the resultsets. This could be even a java.util.Enumeration that has a hasMoreElements() method that could be implemented as the next() method from JDBC result sets and the nextElement() method that would actually bring the next row of data.
This way the JSP layer would see only hasMoreElements() and nextElement() methods from the middle layer. On the other hand, the data layer would provide as many different implementations to this access interface (Enumeration?) as there were data sources (JDBC, Files, ...)
Question 3:
What do you think of this design?
Question 4:
Is there any flaw in my approach? Which?
Question 5:
Could you suggest other designs?
I really thank you all, for any kind of answer. I actually use this design for development, however I've never seriously discussed it with someone... this is going to be of great value for me.
Regards,
Filipe Fedalto

Well I saw you question and I'll tell you what I do.
I have JSP's which post form data to servlets.
The servlet then calls a factory to produce a ResultContainer (analagous to your lists) which is generated
via JDBC, and/or request parameters etc...
this provides a single point of reference and a "group" of containers (functions really) that can be produced and reused (same container different amount of data)
I also have other static classes which can manipulate the data in the containers
(such as add additional info to the items in the containers) before I forward the container (request attribute)
to the JSP page
Additionally I use Type safe constants for all my HTML form tag names (easier to change and ensure the same name is used everywhere when reading parameters) and again for item statuses
and any other info I need to send along with the page (using Javascript to update the
status to another type safe constant).
I've found that using factories for ResultContainers is very worthwhile and allows you to implement additional servlets extremely quickly (mostly reusing containers that exist) and since the
container is the same for all my JSPs (this may not be the case with you) I can implement JSP's
very quickly as well (just change the view)
btw I refrain from calling my ResultContainer a bean because it is not serializable
I don't know if this will help but at least it gives me a forum to test my ideas
Thanks

Table for List of Active Data Sources

Hello All,
I have a requirement like, to collect List of Active Data Sources from which extractions are happening for the past one year.
Actually i have many Data sources which are in Active State but extractions are happening only on some of the Active Data Sources.
I can collect List of Active Data Sources from Table RSOLTPSOURCE, but how to collect Active Data Sources from which extractions are happening for the past one year.
Is there any such table which satisfies my requirement?
Thanks in Advance!!

Hi Srikanth,
I had similar kind of requirement in my project and I used following approach,
1) We already had a list of all the process chains which extract data from source system. So you also need to get such list if you don't have then goto RSPCLOGCHAIN and get the list of all the active chains.
2)after that goto table RSPCCHAIN and for all of your chains or for a single chain you can put the TYPE as "loading" and you will get list of all the infopackage.
3) Once you get the list of all the infopackages which are loading data from your source system.
4) goto table RSLDPIO and put all your infopackage name and source system you will get the list of all the datasources in OLTPSOURCE field.

Report Builder Wizard and Parameter Creation with values from other data source e.g. data set or views for non-IT users or Business Analysts

Hi,
"Report Builder is a report authoring environment for business users who prefer to work in the Microsoft Office environment.
You work with one report at a time. You can modify a published report directly from a report server. You can quickly build a report by adding items from the Report Part Gallery provided by report designers from your organization." - As mentioned
on TechNet.
I wonder how a non-technical business analyst can use Report Builder 3 to create ad-hoc reports/analysis with list of parameters based on other data sets.
Do they need to learn TSQL or how to add and link parameter in Report Builder? then How they can add parameter into a report. Not sure what i am missing from whole idea behind Report builder then?
I have SQL Server 2012 STD and Report Builder 3.0 and want to train non-technical users to create reports as per their need without asking to IT department.
Everything seems simple and working except parameters with list of values e.g. Sales year List, Sales Month List, Gender etc. etc.
So how they can configure parameters based on Other data sets?
Workaround in my mind is to create a report with most of columns and add most frequent parameters based on other data sets and then non-technical user modify that report according to their needs but that way its still restricting users to
a set of defined reports?
I want functionality like "Excel Power view parameters" into report builder which is driven from source data and which is only available Excel 2013 onward which most of people don't have yet.
So how to use Report Builder. Any other thoughts or workaround or guide me the purpose of Report Builder, please let me know.
Many thanks and Kind Regards,
For quick review of new features, try virtual labs: http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/aa570323

Hi Asam,
If we want to create a parameter depend on another dataset, we can additional create or add the dataset, embedded or shared, that has a query that contains query variables. Then use the option that “Get values from a
query” to get available values. For more details, please see:http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd283107.aspx
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220464.aspx
As to the Report Builder features, we can refer to the following articles:http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh213578.aspx

Hope this helps.

How to generate Top sales report from SAP data ?

Hello experts,
I am completely a newbie to SAP BO , can any one guide me how to generate TOP sales of the year report from SAP data ?

Hi David,
First Let me know the Source & Tools to involve.
Let me go with the generic approach:
If the source is BW, then you can create the logic in query designer designer and then you can incorporate the data into the dashboard or webi or crystal report whatever its.
If the source is sql or anyother DB then it can also be achievable in crystal or webi to write the logic in top 10 values by ranking then you can incorporate the data into the dashboard, but here you can limit the top or bottom values.
Hope this helps, please revert for more clarifications on this.

MRP Lists from previous dates

I have a question. Here in this factory we are running MD07 to check the exception messages, we typically see a lot of u201CPostpone processu201D messages because the planned order is firmed inside Planning Time Fence but thereu2019s no requirement.
We want to find out what are those requirements that used to be there and now they are not.
So Iu2019d like to know, is there a transaction where I can see MRP Lists (from MD05) from previous dates?
If there is, then I can see at a material numberu2019s MRP list from today, compare it with the one from yesterday, and so on.

Fernando,
So Iu2019d like to know, is there a transaction where I can see MRP Lists (from MD05) from previous dates?
No. SAP only stores the most recent MRP list.
Some companies print the MRP lists to a spoolfile immediately upon the conclusion of the MRP run. MDLD. The spoolfiles can be configured to be retained for any period you wish, talk to your Basis team.
To review the contents of a spoolfile, SP01. It is not a database per se, but an image of the printed report. For your purpose, it would probably suffice.
Beyond this solution, you will have to create some customized functionality.

How to use a property from other data source

Scenario: we have 2 datasources, that each have their own set of records having different properties. What I need to do is grab 1 property that exists in all records of 1 of the datasources and display it in the records of the other datasource. There is 1 "common" property (called by different names) in the records of both Data Sources, that have the same value; so this property could be the link between those records even though they belong to 2 different Data Sources.
Here's a simple example:
Data Source " Department" has records that have the properties: 'Name', 'Age' and 'Nationality'.
Data Source "Staff" has records that have the properties:'Staff_name', 'Position'.
The 'Name' and 'Staff_name' have the same values, and can be used to link the 2 records.
I'd like to get the records in the 'Department' data souce to also contain the property 'Position" from the "Staff" datasource .
Is there a manipulator that can do this?
Thanks!
J

Thanks Pravin,
But I don't want to join all data from the 2 datasources - I just want one property from one data source to appear in the records of the other data source.

PHP filter list from other list's selection

I want to filter one list from the selection of the first list. The second list will use a recordset to find the records to display that match an integer field with the number value of the first list.
This seems like it should simply work by using a simple mode of the recordset that compares the value of the the field in this recordset with the Form Variable that equals "lstLevel", the name of the first list. The form action = the current page. Then I have a submit button on the form, but when I press it nothing happens. What am I missing?

I tried doing the same thing when going to another page and it works. So my question is now, how do I get the same result on the same page so I can filter severl lists on one page before proceeding to the next page?

Binding for table produces list for other tables using foreign key and crea

Using
software Jdev 11G, WLS 11G, Oracle DB 11G, Windows Vista platform
technology EJB 3.0, jspx, backing beans, session bean
I cannot create a namedquery on my secondary table. The method for the column uses the entity object rather than the name and value of the column.
For instance,
(Coketruck) table has inventory records(Products) table
Coketruck has one to many to the Products table
Products has a many to one to the Coketruck
I need to return the products from the product table based on the CokeTruck but I cannot create a namedQuery because the method in the Product table is an entity object type instead of a long that I can use to look up all the products based off the column truck_id.
This is what I was expecting…
Private Long truckId;
public Long getTruckId() {
return truckId;
public void setTruckId (Long truckId) {
this. truckId = truckId;
Instead this is what I have…
@ManyToOne
@JoinColumn(name = "TRUCK_ID")
private Coketruck coketruck;
this. coketruck = coketruck
public Coketruck getCoketruck() {
return coketruck;
public void set Coketruck (Coketruck coketruck) {
this. coketruck = coketruck;
How do I do a query on the Product table to return all the products that are in the coketruck?
If I do the following it expects for me to pass the Entity Object which I cannot use as search criteria for my find method.
@NamedQuery(name = "Products.findById", query = "select o from Products o where o.truckId = :truckId")
On a different note but the same song…
I noticed that when I look at my Session Bean Data Contols that the coketruck already has a list of the products. I have created a jsp page with a backing bean and have been able to use the namedquery on the coketruck entity to retrieve the productList. Unfortunately I need to sort the products by type and was also not able to find where to perform the work to be able to iterate through the productList to get my desired display. Therefore I started looking at doing another namedquery that would only retrieve the product_type ordering by the truckId.
Seems I have come full circle… I don’t care what method I have to use to get the info back.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Hi!
I work on an application wich uses a shopping cart stored in a database. The shopping cart uses two tables:
CART: Holds information common for one shopping cart: the user it is connected to etc.
- Primary key: CART_ID
CART_ROW: One row in the cart, e.g. one new product to buy.
- Primary key: ROW_ID
- Foreign key: CART_ROW.CART_ID references CART.CART_ID
From the code the rows in the cart are collected per cart, as is modelled by the foreign key. There exists one more relationship, which we use in the code, but which is not modelled by a foreign key in the database. One row can be dependent on another row, which makes the other row a parent.
CART_ROW has a column PARENT_ID which references CART_ROW.ROW_ID.
Should we add a foreign key for PARENT_ID? Or are there any questions to consider when it is a foreign key to the same table?
I suggest to add foreign key it wont harm the performance (except while on insert when there would be validation for the foreign key). But it would prevent users to insert wrong/corrupt data either through code or directly by loggin in the database.
A while ago we added indexes, both on ROW_ID and on PARENT_ID. Could the index on PARENT_ID have been harmful, since there is no foreign key?
Index on parent_id would only be harmful if you do not make use of index after creating it (i.e. there is no query which make use of this index).
And if you decide to have a foreign key on parent_id then I suggest to have index too on parent_id as it would be helpful atleast when you delete any record in this table.
Best regards!

Generate table/view automatically from xsd

Hello all,
following requirement: I receive xml files and appropriate xsd. I don't want to parse the xml by hand (e.g. I know of the possibility to create views from xml with extract - extracting elements manually). Is it any possibility to achieve this:
input: xml file with xsd -> automatical processing: something what I don't know -> output: view. How I already mentioned I just know of the possibility to extract the values manually. After a brief search I found DBMS_XMLSCHEMA.registerSchema but I don't know if it helps me. Registering xsd makes the DB know how the xml look like.
Do you have any ideas?
Thank you in advance for your answers. I appreciate any hint.
Kind regards,
Anton

you can try to parse it dynamically:

- create script which will be generate script for xml like
select <columns>
from <table>
, xmltable (
<columns>
)then create view on the above script
if your xml structure will be often changing then you must be recreate your script and recreate view

Can I automatically generate a contact list from my emails?

I've been using Mail for years. But not Address Book.
I've got about 10,000 emails, and I'm wondering if there's a way to pull all the email addresses from Mail and automatically generate an Address Book out of it?
Or is there a utility somewhere?
Thanks in advance!

Yes there is.
There is a collection of AppleScripts called Mail Scripts available at this link.
http://homepage.mac.com/aamann/Mail_Scripts.html
The script you want to use from the collection of scripts is called Add Addresses.
+*Add Addresses*+
+Select all messages you want to use for creating the mailing list (for creating a mailing list, you would choose all messages in a mailbox which contains all messages on a certain topic).+
+Run the script and you get a list with all addresses contained in the selected messages - mark all the addresses you want to add to the Address Book using the checkboxes.+
+From the popup menu, choose which group you want to update with the selected addresses or select "Create new Group..." and enter the name for the new group to be created.+
+The script checks whether an address is already present before adding it to the Address Book in order to avoid duplicate entries. If additional information is available for an entry already present in the Address Book (e.g., full name information for an entry which had prior been email-only), the entry will be updated.+
