Bug in formatting Tables with cel styles + toolbox

We continue to have major problems with the cel styles. Lines disappear due to adjacent cells.
Let me ellaborate:
I have a cel style that has no background and only a .5 line at the bottom.
Underneith I have a cel style that has NO lines. What happens is that when I link that style, the line from the cel above disappears. Then I reselect the top cel and link the correct style again, the line appears.
This is obviously a totally unworkable situation.
What helps 80% of the time, is to go in the options menu for the style. Then give all lines 1pt, black and a style. And then, in exactly this order, delete the linethickness, set the color to ignore and then set the style to ignore (ignore is a translation from Dutch, I do not know the exact term used in the US version). After this I save the style and usually it works.
This bug has been a part of InDesign since the introduction of celstyles.
And while I am ranting, another thing that has been irritating us since the early days. Quite often multiple styles in the panels seem selected. This happens in all panes (paragraph, type, cell and table styles)
It seems to us that Adobe is only paying attention to adding new features, instead of fixing well known bugs.
Does anyone have a solution to my issues?
Any help is well appreciated.

My original post wasn't too clear (sorry). The bug is with TR.
The following code should write the numbers 1 to 10 with four spaces separating each value. But no spaces are written.
program tst2
integer :: i
do i=1,10
write(10,'(I4)',advance='no')i
write(10,'(TR4)',advance='no')
end do
close(10)
end program tst2
In fact the file fort.10 which is produced contains
12345678910
Whereas, with gfortran, open64, ifort, nag Fortran compilers I get (there are four spaces, this forum just doesn't show them all):
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Issue with cell styles in Smart View 11.1.2.1

Hi,
I've got a strange issue in Smartview 11.1.2.1 : when I open a data form (Hyperion Planning connection), my data form does not have colors. All the entire sheet is in Black&White, so I can not see Locked/Read-Only/Writable (...) cells !
When I go to Options => Cell Styles, I do not see all the color-coding that is normally purposed by default with Hyperion Planning connection.
Something strange : when I connect to Smartview on other computer, it works ! For information, we use Citrix to connect to Smartview.
Do you have an idea ?
Thanks.
Virgile.

Hello
I have played around and found the following
1. if you untick 'Use Excel Formatting' in the Formatting tab - cell styles work
2. If you tick Use Excel Formatting- cell styles have no effect
You cannot use Cell Styels and use excel formatting together - either the one or the other
By ticking 'Retain Numeric Formatting' under Formatting combined with Cell Styles is a workable option
Thanx

Hi,
There are two workarounds that you could try. 1. if your system could print to pdf, you could print each response as pdf instead of export as pdf.
2. you could duplicate the form with responses, open the dulplicate form, remove some old responses (the one that you already exported) so you don't see the 13000 visible cells dialog, then you could export each response to pdf.
Hope these workarounds could help you while we are getting the fix out.

HTML Data Table with cell-level inline messages?

Hi all.
I'm not suprised by this, but I am wondering if anyone has figured out a slick/elegant way around the "problem"
Basically, the problem I want to solve is:
how to get corresponding validation error messages to show up in the data table cell that contains the (editiable) ui component representing the "offending" value?
The naive first approach would be simply to place an inline message component just before or after the corresponding data table column's row value presentation component.
But obviously, this won't work, primarily because the inline message component id will not be unique (does not pick up the currentRow to make it unique) asd well as due to the issue of binding the inlineMessage component's "for" attribute to the correct row (as well as column).
So, the naive first approach results in a thrown exception:
javax.servlet.ServletException: Duplicate component id: 'form1:personDataTable:firstNameValidationInlineMessage'
Now, I know I could add "virtual" columns to my data table to hold validation errors so that they correspond to the correct row/columns and I know I can bind the rendered attribute, style etc, for corresponding presentation elements, but then I've basically side-stepped the whole faces message functionality built into the JSF framework.
Also, if I have to use "virtual" columns, then I've complicated life for myself, since I ordinarily want to bind the data table to a list of bean instances (i.e. we are using hibernate persistence) or even a row set (difficulty setting a column value that is not updateable in data source, i.e. corresponds to no table/column and maybe involves dynamically adding "virtual" column to data cache?).
Now, I know I can place a message list on the page instead (this is currently what I am doing), and I know I can change the application so that I provide a separate *single row" edit page, both of which provide a semi-adequate alternative.
I like the first alternative (the one I'm using), because in-place editing of data table rows is so much more compact and elegant, both in terms of presentation and coding.
Using this first alternative, I am currently adding to the validation error messages the currentRow attrubute so that users can see it an trace back to the corresponding row in the data table to correct the data entry.
However, everyone, users, project drivers and developers (including myself), are grumbling a bit over such a "hackish" approach.
Any thoughts? Am I missing something obvious?

Well I'll be damned!
What's done in the sample app is, of course, the intuitively obvious choice and is exactly what I started out trying to do the first time round.
But as I mentioned before, when I first tried it (yes: I'm pretty sure I set the "for" attribute on the inlineMessage components), I got the non-unique component id exception for the inlineMessage component(s) after adding the second (but not the first) row to the page.
Anyway, after dragging my inlineMessages to the exact same position as those in the AppModel example, now things work fine (except I think I'd like a line break before the message and to change the row/column styles so the values and messages line up properly...the look is rather ugly in the AppModel example when there are validation messages displayed).
Not sure, but I'm thinking maybe there was an issue with where the inline message markup was placed, my first time through, relative to the data table value bound component and the column header facet?
I was using the application view drag 'n drop feature the first time round and dragged the inlineMessage component to the spot just below the data table value bound component and hence just above the column header facet. In the AppModel example, OTOH, the inline messages are placed just after the column header facet.
Of course, I will now try to duplicate the original exception.
If I can (and it is an issue with placement), I will post back some sort of bug report or RFE. Otherwise, I'll post back declaring what a bone head I've been...;-)
Anyway, thanks for the quick response, v.

How can I export table and cell styles to use in another InDesign document?

I've been looking…and looking but can't find out how to export table styles within InDesign CC. If there is a load table styles option within the panel, it stands to reason there should be an export. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Frank, John's solution is it. But that also requires that you have those old files easily on hand to access. Maybe even searching for them in the future, 3 months down the road, could be a pain. You can always save a Library for that file and drag some of those styled elements into that library. Save the library in a place that you will keep access to and readily pull assets from. In the future doc open that library and drag the styled element into your new document and the styles are now in the new doc to reuse. I have a library saved just for tables.

How can I format-table with two different variables

I have a script who's purpose is to go through all the mailboxes in exchange and look for any with SG_ or Group listed in the Full Access Permissions. The script works though I'm having trouble formatting the data in a way that I can use it in Excel.
Ultimately I'd like it to report the Name of the mailbox and the name of the entry listed in the Full Access Permissions that has SG_ or Group in the name. Currently the output is the name of the mailbox and then on a separate line the full name of the security
group.
I'm trying to have it so that each part is in it's own column. That will make it easy to review in excel.
$Grabmailbox = Get-Mailbox -Resultsize Unlimited
foreach ($mailbox in $Grabmailbox){
$Getpermission = Get-MailboxPermission $mailbox | where { ($_.User -like "corp\SG_*") -or ($_.User -like "corp\*_group") }
if ($Getpermission -ne $null) {
echo "$mailbox + "$Getpermission | FT User |Out-File c:\Script\VerifiedSG.txt -Append
else{
echo "$mailbox + No SG detected" | Out-File c:\Script\VerifiedSG.txt -Append

Hi Yan,
Thanks for the response but what I am looking for is even simpler than that.
The script goes through every mailbox we have.
It checks the Full Access Permissions for anything with SG_ or group listed in the Full access permissions.
It then should write out to a file the name of the mailbox and the entry in the Full access permissions that contains SG_ or _Group
so something like this:
Mailbox Name <---New ColumN--->Entry
Mailbox1<---New ColumN--->SG_Mailbox1
Ignore the <---New ColumN---> as I simply put that in to emphasize space between the two columns.

How do you have the bottom stroke of a table show up using Table Styles and Cell Styles only?

I am using InDesign CS6, and I want to create a Table Style that has the bottom stroke show up, but does not have a table border, such as:
However, whenever I try to change the Table or Cell strokes so that the last stroke shows up, I get the entire table border, or some strange combination of borders:
Does anyone have any insight on how I can get the bottom stroke to show up while preserving my other stroke properties? Since I work with long documents, it's necessary to be able to control all of my tables through Table Styles and Cell Styles, and not by manually changing each and every table with the Stroke palette.
For reference, here are the my current Table Style properties and the resulting table:

Michael Murphy is the InDesign style-meister. He wrote "Adobe InDesign Styles" for Adobe Press, and did a great Lynda.com title on InDesign styling. Here's what he says in the book:
"As mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, with all the power of table and cell styles, it is important to understand not only how they work and what they can do for you, but also to understand their limitations.
"Two formatting features missing in table and cell styles have already been discussed: You will always have to set the column width and row height of cells when applying a table style for the first time, and you will always have to convert body rows to header and/or footer rows every time you apply a table style for first time or update the table's data....
"But there's another kind of limitation that's important to keep in mind as you are designing tables: It is very easy to design a table that cannot be completely defined by a table style. In many cases, you'll need to define an extra cell style or two that lets you complete for formatting. [my emphasis]."
So I think that's what you have to do: Apply another cell style on top of the cells at the bottom of the table after applying the table style.

Bug when viewing tables?

There seems to be a bug when viewing tables with identical names in different schemas in SQL Developer. When I view table information in one schema and then go to a table with identical name in another schema the view isn't updated, it still shows the information for the table from the first schema. I have to select another table in the second schema before I select the table I want to look at to get the information correct.
I have the same problem with views, so this is probably the case for all kinds of objects.

Sveinung

I have found that the problem is even more specific. It occurs only when I view schemas in different databases.
I am not sure that I understand what you mean about abstracted script. I have tried to create a simple test case with two scripts, one for each database, that creates a table, inserts some data and creates a view on the table.
I have not found a way to upload files, so I have pasted the contents into this thread along with a description of the steps in the GUI. I have run the scripts on Oracle 10g (10.2.0.3.0) databases.
-- SCRIPT 1
CREATE TABLE test_table
col_1 NUMBER,
col_2 VARCHAR2(6)
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (1, 'ROW 1')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (2, 'ROW 2')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (3, 'ROW 3')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (4, 'ROW 4')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (5, 'ROW 5')
COMMIT
CREATE VIEW test_view AS SELECT * FROM test_table
-- END SCRIPT 1
Run script 1 in some schema in a database.
-- SCRIPT 2
CREATE TABLE test_table
col_1 NUMBER,
col_2 VARCHAR2(6),
col_3 VARCHAR2(12)
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (1, 'ROW 1', 'COL 3 ROW 1')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (2, 'ROW 2', 'COL 3 ROW 2')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (3, 'ROW 3', 'COL 3 ROW 3')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (4, 'ROW 4', 'COL 3 ROW 4')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (5, 'ROW 5', 'COL 3 ROW 5')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (6, 'ROW 6', 'COL 3 ROW 6')
INSERT INTO test_table VALUES (7, 'ROW 7', 'COL 3 ROW 7')
COMMIT
CREATE VIEW test_view AS SELECT * FROM test_table
-- END SCRIPT 2
Run script 2 in some schema in another database.
Connect to the two databases in SQL Developer.
Select the table in the first database, then select Data.
Then select the table in the other database. In my system the data are not refreshed. This is also the case when I look at the views.
Hope this description is good enough.

Copy/paste style doesn't work for conditional formatting with cell refs

I created a conditional format on a cell (B3) that compares its value to the value of a cell above it (B2).
If I 'Copy Style' and paste that style into the cell beside it (C3), the conditional formatting still refers to B2. If I want to do this for a whole row of cells then I have to manually edit the cell reference in the conditional formatting for each cell.
Anyone else seen this behaviour? It makes me think of going back to Excel.

Don't know if you'd consider this a 'workaround' or simply a way to do what the OP asks with as little fuss as possible.
I created a conditional format on a cell (B3) that compares its value to the value of a cell above it (B2).
If I 'Copy Style' and paste that style into the cell beside it (C3), the conditional formatting still refers to B2...
The desire is to have each cell in row 3 formatted depending on a comparison with the cell directly above it. If each comparison is the same (eg, Equal to), and the 'true' action for each is the same (eg. Fill with yellow), the following will save some effort:
Select the whole row, B3:G3 (or further).
Set the conditional format rule to
Equal to | B2
And the action for Fill yellow.
Click Done.
With the conditional formatting dialogue still open, select C3. You may also want to move the dialogue window up to just below row 3.
Repeat these three steps:
Click on the B2 reference in the dialogue.
Click on cell C2 in the table.
Press the right arrow to move the selection to D3.
Click on the B2 reference in the dialogue.
Click on cell D2 in the table.
Press the right arrow to move the selection to E3.
etc.

How can I insert a new table whose cells are linked to Cell Styles?

How can I define a Table Style so that cells in new tables are automatically linked to my Cell Styles? (Not sure if "linked" is exactly the appropriate word....I'm going for "connected in such a way that when the Style is changed, the character/paragraph/cell/table/object updates to reflect the change.")
I thought the whole point of using Cell Styles in Table Styles would be so the cells can be automatically linked to the desired Cell Styles when the table is created -- but that isn't happening for me. I don't know if I'm just confused or if this is a bug:
When I insert a new table of a Table Style I have defined, it seems all cells in the new table are simply linked to Cell Style [None], with overrides for each cell that are consistent with the applicable Cell Style as it was defined when the table was inserted. So although the appearance of each cell is consistent with the Cell Style I defined for for that region of the table, the cells don't update if I later make changes to the Cell Styles I defined.
(If, after inserting a new table, I manually select each cell and apply the desired Cell Style, then the cells do (of course) update when I change the Cell Styles.)
Is it possible to have cells be actually linked to Cell Styles when a new table is inserted, instead of cells being simply linked to style [None] with overrides?
(I'm using the up-do-date 2014 release of InDesign CC, in case that's relevant.)

there is a example on Page 1149 of book Graphic Java 2 mastering the JFC
by David M. Geary. ISBN: 0-L3-079667-0, Try to take a look the code. It will help.

Maintaining Cell Style with data update

Having a difficult time trying to maintaining the styles and characteristics (built in ID) of a table from Excel when we update the link to refresh the data. I have read old threads and went through the proper process of creating; Character, then Paragraph, then Cell Styles, then a Table style but no luck with the Table style. (Like the example in the video; which I agree don't believe it fully works) But even just using Cell Styles, the data, when updated, is reverted back to it's original plain input and you manually have to apply the Cell Styles.
How can I prevent having to manually do that process/ get the Table Style to work? Is there a setting or check box that need to be checked when importing the data or relinking/updating the file? Please help....using CS3.
thanks,
Ed

What options are you using when Placing the file? From Help http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6f41a.html:
Formatted Table
InDesign tries to preserve the same formatting used in Excel, although the formatting of text within each cell may not be preserved. If the spreadsheet is linked rather than embedded, updating the link will override any formatting applied to the table in InDesign.
Unformatted Table
The table is imported without any formatting from the spreadsheet. When this option is selected, you can apply a table style to the imported table. If you format text using paragraph and characters styles, the formatting is preserved even if you update the link to the spreadsheet.
Unformatted Tabbed Text
The table is imported as tab-delimited text, which you can then convert to a table in InDesign or InCopy.
Formatted Only Once
InDesign preserves the same formatting used in Excel during the initial import. If the spreadsheet is linked rather than embedded, formatting changes made to the spreadsheet are ignored in the linked table when you update the link. This option isn’t available in InCopy.
I never use linked Excel files, but it looks to me like you should be using the second option: Unformatted Table.

This looks like bug to me, Any suggestion?

Hi Mohideen,
Based on my research, the issue might be related to one of the following factors:
Memory pressure. Check there is a memory challenge when the issue occurs. In addition, if the package runs in 32-bit runtime on the specific server, use the 64-bit runtime instead.
A known issue with SQL Native Client. As a workaround, use .NET data provider instead of SNAC.
Hope this helps.

Table Problems (Cell Shading and Default Format from EDD and Template)

I have two problems related to tables using Structured FrameMaker (Version 10), whilst in-processing XML.
I've designed two different table formats in my Template; Format A with black shading - 30% for THead and 3% for row, and Format B with blue shading - 30% for THead and 3% for row.
If I create a structured document from scratch and insert a table, I get the required Black (30%) and Black (3%) shading.   If I then insert an informaltable, I get the required Blue (30%) and Blue (3%) shading.
Although I've given the two table types different default formats in the EDD - Format A for table and Format B for informaltable - when I open the XML file (normally) from within FrameMaker I notice that all the tables default to Format A (black shading).   When I then import my EDD table should stay as Format A and informaltable should change to Format I.   This doesn't happen; they all stay at Format A.
I can change informaltable by manually applying Format I, this worksI. Obviously, with long documents which might have hundreds of tables we can't afford the time and manpower to do such things one at a time by hand.
Do any of the Structure gurus have a fix for this, or can someone give me a hint of what I might be doing wrong?
The second, but related question was a general one.   I see that Adobe says
"Tables
FrameMaker table formats are only partially integrated with the structure model. The content of
a FrameMaker table is always fully structured, but the control over cell border ruling is limited and
there is no structure format control over cell shading."
I believe it could be useful to apply cell shading on an individual cell basis (although I'm not sure whether this is possible at the XML level - where someboddy might give an element an attribute of, say, shading (with options, such as, green, red, blue, yellow all at, say, 30%, with a default of red, for example.
I've seen that there has been mention of plugins to achieve cell shading in structure; does anyone have an experience with such things, more to the point, can anyone point me in the right direction?   I don't mind paying fo a solution which I can implement myself.
Any help or advice would be much appreciated.
Regards
Chris

Hi,
could you please provide some details on the EDD, RWR and some example XML?
My wild guess goes into the direction of the RWR not containing enough information that get written out into XML.
We're using table formatting with shaders too (using an attribute to control the specific formatting of each table) and it works like a charm in FM9 and FM11 when roundtripping.
The context rules are used in the table group (i.e. tgroup element). This might already solve the issue .
Cheers Alex

How to apply a table cell style based on grep search?

Anyone that know how to make a script that searches in an Indesign table for
-> All cells where the text starts with "Banana"
-> And apply cell style "Yellow" to these cells?
I have been searching on forums for somedays and got this tip: https://github.com/seuzo/regex_cellstyle/blob/master/regex_cellstyle.jsx

All help most appriciated!

Hi Frankeman,
Please try the below code, may it should be helpful:
var myDoc = app.activeDocument
app.findTextPreferences = app.changeTextPreferences = null
app.findTextPreferences.findWhat = "Banana"
var myFound = myDoc.findText()
for(i=0; i<myFound.length; i++)
if(myFound[i].parent.constructor.name == "Cell")
myFound[i].parent.appliedCellStyle = "Yellow"
Suppose the code is working fine for you, then please click correct answers.

Create dynamic internal table with deep structure;cell coloring dynamic ALV

Hi,
My requirement is to do cell colouring for a dynamic ALV.
So I am creating a dynamic internal table using the following method.
CALL METHOD cl_alv_table_create=>create_dynamic_table
    EXPORTING
      it_fieldcatalog = i_fieldcatalog[]
    IMPORTING
      ep_table        = i_output.
But how do I define field COLORS which should be again an internal table ?
Is there any other way for cell colouring?
Putting my problem in another way:
How do I create a dynamic internal table with one field as another internal table.
Quick replies are highly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nisha Vengal.

halo Nisha
Before building the display table . you can add the field in the feild catalog right . This display table gets generated from the field catalog right
1 Create a global structute say ZEXTEND_FIELDCAT
2 Have fields like STYLE type lvc_t_styl
                         COLOR type LVC_T_SCOL.
3 Now you have to extend ur fieldcatalog
l_fieldcat-fieldname = COLOR'.
l_fieldcat-ref_field = 'COLOR'.
l_fieldcat-ref_table = 'ZEXTEND_FIELDCAT'.
APPEND l_fieldcat TO lt_field_catalog.
CLEAR l_fieldcat.
