Change Dimension Attribute to group by name rather than key

Hi
I am taking over a cube which has been built for speed rather than functionality. For example if you bring one dimension in and a measure you would get a result like this.
? 200
Mancheste 400
Manchester 200
? 100
Derby 5
when really it should look like this
? 300
Mancheste 600
Derby 5
I believe this can be changed in the dimension attributes group it on name rather than key (although you get slower performance) but I can't find where about I change this

hi,
If you in BIDS, select the attribute you want to change and look at properties.
Under the properties group Source, you have the definition for KeyColumn and NameColumn.
My understanding is that you would want a keycolumn which is on the same level as your name column.
I e change the key column to a better one.
(Optionally, but not as good, you could set the KeyColumn to the same column as your name column)
best wishes /Carl
thanks I would mark this as the answer but it won't let me for some strange reason.

OLAP query returning "name" rather than "key" attribute for a dimension

Hello,
I am busy with a project that involves drawing data from an OLAP cube (in SAP BW), then transforming and contextualising for use in an EMI environment. The project runs on MII 12.1.
The standard OLAP connector and OLAP queries have been used (would prefer not to go the route of creating a call to the OLAP XMLA web service directly). One of the important dimensions is returned as a name (descriptive text) rather than a key (the cost element code itself), preventing us from reliably applying business rules to classify cost elements. Categorising cost elements based on their text descriptions is not a sustainable solution.
The output needs to allow for two dimensions (cost element and an equipment identifier) against which individual cost values will be listed. It appears that the two dimensions must both be on the "x-axis", as result columns are automatically renamed, e.g. C000001, C000002, etc. If anyone knows of a way to suppress this renaming behaviour, please let me know.
Is it possible to force the "key" attribute to be returned instead of the "name" attribute? I have identified two preferred options:
1. MDX syntax of the query itself
2. configuration of the OLAP connector
I have not found a way to do this through MDX syntax, but would welcome any suggestions.
Alternatively, perhaps there is a non-standard way of configuring the OLAP connector so that the key rather than the name attribute is returned for all dimensions. Has anyone anything, e.g. chosen a non-standard ColumnNameAttribute or DataTypeAttribute, in this regard?
Thanks,
Marc Chaplin

Can I Change SEARCH to default as LIST view rather than GROUPS view?

Can I Change SEARCH to default as LIST view rather than GROUPS view?
I always end up doing a command+2 and if I can default this it would be better.

Sorting files by file name rather than ID Tags

Some of my files have incomplete or missing ID Tags ( a lot of mp3's from vinyl) making sorting more difficult and I typically find it more usefull to sort by file name rather than ID Tag anyway. Does anyone know how to sort by file name?

Aloha!
While this is not possible in iTunes right now, I might be able to help.
It sounds like you've taken care to ensure that your music is properly labeled. That should make it easy to use a third party app to tag the lot as a batch. I am aware of one application that folks around here seem to like called "Tag & Rename" that can build a set of tags for you from folder and file names. I believe it has (or had) a free demo period as well. Try a google search or check out sites like versiontracker and you will find several apps that can do the task for you.
Once done, iTunes will be able to handle the collection that has apparently been with you for some time. Hope this helps you decide on a course of action.

Sorting Map on values rather than keys

Is it possible that I can have a Map which is sorted based on values rather than keys ?
If not is there an alternative.
Basically I have keys as strings and values as integers.
The values keep incrementing and at the end I want to get the top 50 keys based on the values.

Sorting a Map by values is not a good idea, I did something similar before, it doesn't support the design, but it is better in performance, which is implementing a custom class (name it Record) that contains two members: key and value, create a record and insert it into a SortedSet e.g. TreeSet.
make sure to do the following:
1. This custom class must implement Comparable and compares two values
2. Override euqlas method and accept strings (check using instanceof) then compare it to the key so you can retrieve the records using the key (to let it work as a map)
Now you have a sorted set with key,value pairs, use the add method to insert a new pair, use the remove to retrieve the desired object and the set is already sorted :)

Your statement makes no sense at all. Please clarify.

OT: Did you know you can change your profile to show your real name, rather than just your Adobe ID?

I realize this is off-topic for this particular forum, but I hope it may help some readers. Since this forum is "where I live" in the Adobe forums, I wanted top share it here first. Perhaps after some feedback to refine things, I may post it elsewhere (another forum perhaps, and/or my blog).
As I was answering a question from someone, finding myself again able only to refer to them by their brief Adobe ID (which often seems to have no connection at all to their name), I wondered:
Do people realize that they can change their forum identity so that their real name (or whatever other identifying info) shows up rather than just their brief Adobe ID? It's just that some folks would much prefer "talking" with someone by refer to them by their real name (or at least something more than just their Adobe ID).:-)
I suppose some may choose intentionally to remain “relatively anonymous” with just that ID to identify them, but I think many more simply don't know that they *can* change what's shown. You can. But it seems we can't do it inside the forums software itself.
Instead, we just need to modify our "Adobe account" to associate a name with our ID (which of course could have benefit in other places where our names might be used).
You can do by going to https://www.adobe.com/account.html, then choose “My Information” (and login if prompted). Then, on the page shown, under the section “My Personal Profile” you can fill in the first and last name fields. (You can also your password here, and it seems even your username.)
It may be possible that after making that change, you would need to sign out and back into the forums (forums.adobe.com) for the change to be picked up, but if it is, you should then see "Welcome [your name]" in the top right corner of the forums page, if it's worked.
And now any forum messages you create should have that name at the top of the message when people read it, and it would also be in the FROM address if people receive it as email (note we're NOT talking about your email address. That is never shown. If people reply to forum messages received by email, the reply goes back to a generic forum email address.)
Hope all that's helpful to someone.
BTW, I had done the change myself a long time ago, so I'm retracing these steps now for others to do it. If you try it and can confirm that it works, please drop a note here. Thanks.

It works, thanks!

Is there a way to change the default image save to .jpg rather than.bmp?

Currently the default save is a .bmp file. I do not see a way to change this in the <edit> <preferences> area. Also is there a way to export/save a designated area on a pdf as a .jpg image file rather than the options given: Word, Exel, Powerpoint, .rtf, html, etc. I currently have to take a snapshot (often clicking this twice) and then opening it in photoshop, then changing it to black and white (if needed) in order to save it as a .jpg

Is there a way to point to a DNS Name entry rather than IP address when I associate it with a printer? Reason being Networking would prefer us using DNS entries as the ips might change one day.

Names Rather than Numbers

I have an E71. When people ring me their number comes up to show me who is calling. If these people are in my contact list I would like their name to come up rather than their number.
Can anyone tell me haow I get their name to come up.
I have found that some people's names come up but other don't!!!
Please help.

sounds like you have duplicate contacts check through your phonebook
If i have helped at all a click on the white star below would be nice thanks.

I want to change my name on my outgoing ID. I want to use my professional name rather than the name i use only for legal purposes as that is how people know me

my friends and clients know me as Jeanette Vonier
this is also on all my bank accounts
I use my birth name Jeanette Stringham only for legal documents and credit cards.
I prefer to have my professional name Jeanette Vonier show as my id on messages.
however the thunderbird mail through gandhi.net inserted the professional id instead and I cannot figure out how to change that. as a consequence my emails may be flagged as spam or go unopened.
please advise how I may correct that and change the name showing up.

The way to change what ever people see when they get your email is to set up your email the way you want to. '''Modzilla''' defaults to the name that you use for your computer.
'''Open Modzilla''' go to tools then '''account settings''' When that page opens you will see your name as it appears on your email and your email address you can change any of this if you want and even create a signature which can be really cool if you know some basic HTML

When I add text to a PDF, I am forced to change the file name rather than just updating the current file. Why?

I have been doing the same process for months and until recently I could just add text to a pdf, click save, adobe would ask me if I wanted to replace the current file, I'd say yes and we would be done. Now I get a message that says "The document could not be saved. Cannot save to this filename. Please save the document with a different name or in a different folder." It does this about 70% of the time. The rest of the time it works like it used to.

You cannot skip arguments, you can either use the function with one
argument (just the required argument), or you have to provide all of them.
Also, it looks like you are trying to specify 20 parameters, even though
the function only takes 19. Try the following:
Call jso.addWaterMarkFromText("Test Text", jso.app.Constants.Align.Center,
jso.Font.Helv, 16, _
    jso.Color.Black, 0, 0, True, True, True, _
    jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, jso.app.Constants.Align.Center, _
    100, 100, False, 1, False, 0, 1)
I just typed this in without running it through the compiler, so there may
be typos in the code, but you should get the idea of how the code is
supposed to look like.

Change the Finder search default to Find by Name (search by file name) rather than Find by Content

I just discovered another way to set the finder Find option to default to "find by name" (search by file name). I'm using Mac OS X 10.8.5 Mountain Lion. I'm not sure if this works on other OS versions, but it probably does.
Here's a step by step:
#1: Open System Preferences
#2: Click on "Keyboard"
#3: Click on "Keyboard Shortcuts"
#4: Click on "Application Shortcuts" (on my system this was the last item located on the left-hand side window)
#5: Click the little "+" right below the right-hand side window
#6: Click on the "Application" menu and choose "finder.app"
#7: Click into the field "Menu Title:" and type "Find by Name..." (Type it exactly like that including the three dots. Don't type the quotes BTW.)
#8: Click into the field "Keyboard Shortcut:" and press the command-key and F at the same time. It should look like this ⌘F
#9: Close System Preferences
That's it. Basically what you are doing is remapping the command-F key (⌘F) to "Find By Name".
I tried to post this to other previous discussions asking this same question, but they were all locked.

Apple doesn’t routinely monitor the discussions. These are mostly user to user discussions.
Send Apple feedback. They won't answer, but at least will know there is a problem. If enough people send feedback, it may get the problem solved sooner.

Maverick Calendar Location Names rather than Street Addressses

Perhaps I've been using Calendar Locations "wrong" all this time. I've always entered the location name and full address there. I also have a separate calendar that I call "travel time" where I block out time in the car or on the bus, so I was THRILLED to see that the new and improved Calendar would actually do that for me.
Except that it only works if I enter only the address and the not the location name in the location field. Is there any way to override this?
Now, instead of my calendar saying
Snorkel with the Fish
Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium
Mall of America
120 East Broadway
Bloomington, MN 55425
it says ...
Snorkel with the Fish
120 East Broadway
Bloomington, MN 55425
I guess that I know what's at "120 East Broadway", but "Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium" is much more informative to me that "120 East Broadway" — especially when I'm not familiar with an address.
I know that I can just change the event title to "Snorkel with the Fish — Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium", but I'd rather not have to do that.
Is there any way to keep the location name in the location field and still make use of the travel time feature?
I do have Sea Life Minnesota Aquarium in my Contacts.
Thanks for your help.

Funny - after my testing out of Nokia Drive+ and realizing all the limitations listed compared to an OLD Garmin Nuvi AND no glimmer of hope or response for a month, I actually went out and bought a Nuvi 3490 instead. I'm currently not using my Nokia Drive for any navigation...
I could see myself start using it again if some of the features, incl. traffic information being part of routing decisions making it's way back. But for long haul navigation, everything needs to be there, and still the Nuvi 3490 wins hands down. And since that is now already paid for also with life time updates to maps and traffic info, it now requires a signficantly BETTER navigation app to bring me back.
One thing I would like to see though that will make Nokia my most used daily navigation tool is the Nokia Commute app for Copenhagen area. That apps approach for short haul routine routing is really attractive.
I originally went for the Nokia Lumia series over competing WP8 vendors due to the strong software add-ons with the mapping functionality being a key factor. There's still many other elemeents that just make Nokia a bit better, but the one I thought was the biggest turned out to not be enough, and that has now put aside as I got a better navigation system than any phone can currently offer - thus making the playing field a little bit more level across WP vendors. Nokia needs to work MUCH harder and faster, if they want to differentiate themselves on mapping / navigaiton. Granted there's other areas like photo quality, social apps, build quality, accessories, etc. I would like to put Nokia Music in there as well, but that has never launched in Denmark after 3 years...
