Can numbers detect duplicate date information as I enter it?

Hi. I need to take an inventory of over 4,000 film can that we have in our vault. First I need to go though get basic information from each can. I created a simple spreadsheet in numbers to track this information. We are tracking these cans by the date on the side of each one. Most of these dates are unique, but there may be some duplicates. What I need is some way for the spreadsheet to alert me to the fact that I am entering a duplicate date when I enter it so I can add an additional indicator to the date. This way I won't have two cans with the same title. Is there a way for Numbers to detect duplicate information as I enter it?

When the table contain numerous rows, it may be useful to use a footer row so that the footer of the column containing the flag to duplicates display the index of the higher flagged row.
In C2, the formula is :
=IF(COUNTIF(B,B2)>1, ROW(),999999)
Apply fill down to fill every 'standard' cells of column C.
Apply a conditional format to this column : set ink to white if the value is 999999
At last, in the footer cell (C14) insert the formula :
=SMALL(C,1)
So you will automatically know which is the existing row which we are duplicating.
I expanded this feature to display in the footer the contents of this duplicated row so there will not be necessary to move in the table to know this contents.
In A14, the formula is :
=IF($C14>0,OFFSET(A$1,$C14-1,0),"")
and apply fill to the right to get this formula in B14 :
=IF($C14>0,OFFSET(B$1,$C14-1,0),"")

Can you add the data information to the data points in a chart

I am trying to add the data information to the data points in a line chart. can this be done?

You can add Value labels to the series to show the numerical value at each data point. The control is in the Series section of the Chart Inspector (see green arrow).
If you are asking about text labels, such as the "Test 1", "Test 2", etc. in column A of the table, You can add these by copy/paste into a text box placed in front of the chart, or use a formula ( =Table 1::A1 ) to transfer the text into a single cell table placed appropriately on the chart.
Using single cell tables will allow automatic updating of the label if the content of the Table 1 cell(s) changes. Neither method will automatically reposition the label if there's a change in the data feed to the chart.

Detecting Duplicate Data

Application server is: Sun Java System Application Server Platform Edition 8.1.
I am using CMP and when I call home.create() with duplicate data I get the following exception.
javax.ejb.EJBException: Transaction aborted; nested exception is: javax.transaction.RollbackException: Transaction marked for rollback.
javax.transaction.RollbackException: Transaction marked for rollback.
Shouldn't I get the CreateException or DuplicateKeyException.
I can check for duplicates by calling home.find() before home.create(). This will create an extra database hit. If I have more that one unique key on the table I will have to call multiple home.find() methods.
Is there any other way?

With 8.1 version you can set flush on on the corresponding create method, unless it is executed
in a separate transaction.
In all other cases, you do need to use find. You can construct a single query that checks
all unique constraints.

Can Numbers put the dates (in a column) in order if I enter out of order

I am a procrastinator and I have lots of receipts to enter. If I enter with the dates out of order is there a way numbers can put in order for me.
Thank you

Robin,
When you hover your mouse over the column Label area of an active Table, a disclosure triangle appears. Clicking the triangle gives you a menu of column actions, including Sorting the column, either ascending or descending.
Sorting will put your dates in order. The prerequisite is that the dates you enter must be recognized as Date/Time values, not as Text. If you input your dates in a standard way for you region/language, they will normally be properly recognized. One way to test for this is to Select the Dates column and change the date format in the Cell Inspector. If you can freely change the format, for example from "1/1/15" to "January 1, 2015", the sort will be successful.

Jerry

Can Iphoto detect duplicate photos in a library?

Team
Been using Iphoto as my primary photo viewing option, containing photos going back some 10 +years. I am alos running time machine for the back up option. In that time I have had a library crash which resulted in the libraries being rebuilt. I am also now taking more photos on my Iphone and then improting them into the library. I have two issues:
1) What ever the cause I when I view the library structure I have countless rols which I would prefer to organise into a more structured and complete album. I understand under Albums you can create folders and sub albums for viewing what you want but the I photo viewing screen defaults to the library which in my case defaults to countless events or countless rolls.
2) What ever the cause I have ended up with many of my earlier albums / rolls containing multiple copies of the same photo - up to 5 and 6 in some instances. I am reluctant to go through an delete them one by one as I am concerned that without checking the individual photo size I may end up deleting the photo and leaving a thumbnail.
3) is it possible for Iphoto to detect duplicated photos (like I tunes can do with music) so that these can be viewed in a separate screen and the duplicates viewed and deleted.?
Cheers in advance.

TD
Mate hope your on a retainer, Duplicate Annihilator, cheap, functional and seems to be doing its things.
Thanks.
Is it possible to ge the Library to only show events from like the last month?? rather than showing everthing - I have to scroll through pages of events / photo rolls to get to the ones I am using at the moment.
Cheers again

My Mac crashed. Can I retrieve the data somewhere that was entered before the crash?

I use numbers to organize all of my work. I hadn't saved the new information for about a day and a half and my Mac crashed. That's never happened before. When i restarted the computer, all of the new data that was entered since the last save was gone. Is there a way to get that information back? Isn't there an "autosave" on numbers? I just feel like I haven't looked in the right place. I pretty much NEED this info to do my job today and I'm trying not to flip out. Can someone please help???

I hope that now you will understand that computers aren't perfect tools and that if you don't take care to save your work from time to time, the chance to loose it is not null.
If you are unable to press cmd + s by yourself every ten minutes, you may
go to my iDisk :

How do i avoid duplicate data when synching iphone and mac book to the cloud?

When I left my job for the last time I uploaded my Microsoft Outlook Contacts to the Cloud so that I could synch it with my Iphone (which I did). Now I would like to also synch the Address Book on my Macbook with the Cloud and my Iphone so I can integrated all of these contacts. First I do not know if I can do this since my MACbook is a few years old aand I do not see the Cloud Icon anywhere on it. Second of all I am not sure which area (Cloud, Iphone, or Macbook) take precedence when synching. Can I lose data? Does one systems dat over ride the other? How can I avoid duplicate data? I am a fairly new Mac user and love the way things are integrated so I think I should not worry but I need help. thanks, tdag55

Hi meadowD,
If you are looking to remove duplicate files from iTunes, you may find the following article useful (in the most recent versions of iTunes 11, the Display/Show Duplicate Items option has been moved to the View menu):

DTP Error: Duplicate data record detected

Hi experts,
I have a problem with loading data from DataSource to standart DSO.
In DS there are master data attr. which have a key containing id_field.
In End routine I make some operations which multiple lines in result package and fill new date field - defined in DSO ( and also in result_package definition )
I.E.
Result_package before End routine:
__ Id_field ____ attra1 ____ attr_b ...___   attr_x ____ date_field
   ____1________ a1______ b1_________ x1
   ____2________ a2______ b2_________ x2
Result_package after End routine:
__ Id_field ____ attra1 ____ attr_b ..___   attr_x ____ date_field
   ____1________ a1______ b1_________ x1______d1
   ____2________ a1______ b1_________ x1______d2
   ____3________ a2______ b2_________ x2______d1
   ____4________ a2______ b2_________ x2______d2
The date_field (date type) is in a key fields in DSO
When I execute DTP I have an error in section Update to DataStore Object: "Duplicate data record detected "
"During loading, there was a key violation. You tried to save more than one data record with the same semantic key."
As I know the result_package key contains all fields except fields type i, p, f.
In simulate mode (debuging) everything is correct and the status is green.
In DSO I have uncheched checkbox "Unique Data Records"
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
MG

Hi,
      In the end routine, try giving
DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM RESULT_PACKAGE COMPARING XXX YYY.
Here XXX and YYY are keys so that you can eliminate the extra duplicate record.
Or you can even try giving
    SORT itab_XXX BY field1 field2 field3 ASCENDING.
    DELETE ADJACENT DUPLICATES FROM itab_XXX COMPARING field1 field2 field3.
this can be given before you loop your internal table (in case you are using internal table and loops) itab_xxx is the internal table.
field1, field2 and field 3 may vary depending on your requirement.
By using the above lines, you can get rid of duplicates coming through the end routine.
Regards
Sunil

SAP BPC 7.5 SP 7 - Master Data Load Detected duplicate member ID

Hi Gurus I have a requirement.
I am loading the Master data for Cost Center - initially while loading master data i didnot load hierarchy. Now I started to load the Master data with Hierarchy but when ever I tried vailidate the transformation file then it is throwing the "Detected Duplicate member "
Let me show you the transformation - what I wrote there
*OPTIONS
FORMAT = DELIMITED
HEADER = YES
DELIMITER = TAB
*MAPPING
ID=ID
*CONVERSION
ID=Master_Data_Conversion.xls
Conversion Master_Data_Conversion.xls has the following code this is to remove the spaces EXTERNALINTERNAL
*js:%external%.toString().replace(/\s+/g,"")
Let me show you how I have selected the Data type - Master Data /text from NW BW Infoobject
Selection of infoobject - 0costcenter
Format - External Format
Set Selection - first Tab - Attribute I only wante the Control Area which is 1000 so - Control Area = 1000
2nd Tab - Hierarchy - Import Text node - yes Hierarchy node - xxxxxxx Version - Empty Member ID - first member Level - Blank
3rd Tab Language - English
4th Tab Attribute list - Controling Area only is selected
Note: Let me tell you that when I am loading the Master data with out Hierarchy inthe Set Selection the loading is succesful but when I am doing it with the Hierarchy as mentioned in the 2nd Tab I am getting the error as following.
Master data (dealt by table level) has errors
Detected duplicate member ID '201100'
Also, the Master data for Cost Center in the BW is a time dependent so it is having Valid to and Valid from fields which is not there to be delt in the BPC.
Please Help

@Vinay let me tell you when the BW is having the master data which is time dependent then it will have this Duplicate member as we will have duplicate cost center names which are compounded with the Time, so BW will not show an error as there is compounding but BPC do not have that feature.
The was raised with SAP and they resolved this issue.
SAP Note 1641529 - Loading Master Data gets duplicate error in special case
When running Data Manager Package 'Loading Master Data from BW
InfoObjects', 'Duplicate Members are found' error may be reported in below
case:
o In the source BW InfoObjects, there are master data that have
different lengths, and their IDs are all numeric characters. And
o If the members are sorted by their lengths first and then IDs gets
a different order compared with the one if they are sorted directly
by their IDs. Take member '122' and '1101' for instance. In BW,
they are sorted as [122, 1102]; if they are sorted directly by the
IDs, the order is [1102, 122]. And
o when running the package, the members are in both 'Attribute' and
'Hierarchy' selection, and the option Filter members by Attributes
or Hierarchies is used. And
o Select 'External Format' when running the package.
Other terms
DM, Loading Master Data from BW, Duplicate Members
Reason and Prerequisites
It's a program error.
Solution
Please apply this note or upgrade to SP11.
I hope this will help you else let me know the entire requirements so that I can provide some kind of assistance.
Do check how the master data in ur BW is then how the hierarchy nodes and costcenter nodes are there?
Good Luck

Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp. When I import into apps for editing they are out of order. What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

Photos recently changed from sequential numbering to date/timestamp. When I import into apps for editing they are out of order. What can be done to change back to sequential numbering instead of date/timestamp?

The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

HT4528 Can I put the same information on two different i-phones with different numbers and different ID's?

Can I put the same information on two different i-phones with different numbers and different ID's?

Yes and no it really depends on what information you are putting on the devices.

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.How can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information.

I unfortunately just got my IPhone 4s stolen.I thought I had the find my iPhone enabled but I didn't because I cannot locate the phone when I sign in ICloud.I have a password on the phone but i'm not sure if I turned on the option where the phone resets if you incorrectly put the password more than ten time. I immediately called my phone company (Verizon) and reported the phone stolen.So I know whoever took the phone cannot place calls or use the phone. But can they still access my data on the phone if they manage to unlock the phone? If so how can I erase all data on the phone so the thief can't access my personal information? is there any other way other than Find my IPhone to wipe off the data on the phone? I really don't want my personal information such as pictures, text messages, notes and social networks profile available to a stranger!!? Help please!!!

Hello thewrongway,
I'm sorry to hear about your phone! I understand the need for an active device. You are able to activate an old device and process an insurance claim for your iPhone 4s within 60days from the incident date. Keep in mind if the old phone is not a smartphone and you currently have unlimited data that feature will fall off. If you have a tier data plan no changes will be made. Please let me know if you have any additional questions. Thank you.
