Confused by right indent results in tables

Hi. Please Help. I have set an entire book of tables in indd cs3, but find my results from the tab panel erratic to non-existent.
For the examples below, text is set to left align:
1 - When the decimal tab is selected and the ruler is clicked everything aligns to it whether there is a decimal or not. (this is fine).
2 - When I select the right tab and click on the rule a line can be seen in the table at the correct position but the text does not move to align with it. (I have tried this with text aligned right, eventhough I have read Dave Blatner on the subject.)
3 - When I select the left tab and click on a rule text generally moves to the correct position but not always.
I have the following clunky workarounds, but would prefer to know why I am not able to use the left and right tabs consistently.
A - Workaround 1: set the right text to right align and then use the tab on the right to bring text into the correct position.
B - Workaround 2: use the left indent tab to set the left aligned text in the column.
In the workflow I have set up paragraph styles, used these in cell styles, and then used the cell styles in table styles.
The relevant text is in columns set below merged and centred information in the header.
I have restarted and cleared out prefs as well as exporting to an inx file but I am still not winning.
Please help as I think these tables will be repurposed for different uses and it would be pleasant to overcome the issues.

From your screen shot I see you are using CS3, but that doesn't appear to be the cause, as the behavior is still present up to CS5.
I'm far from an expert on tables -- I hate and avoid working with them as much as possible -- but it appears to me that the decimal tab is "implied" in the cell if you set one, that is tabbing into any cell in which a decimal-aligned tab is present will move the text to the tab position. This is extremely useful for tables with columns of numbers in cells as it speeds up entry by relieving you from having to insert the tab in each cell with a number. On the other hand, the other sorts of tabs seem to be "explicit" or require you to insert the tab character into the text string in order to take advantage. This makes sense to me, more or less, also, since you are more likely to want generally left, center or right-aligned text in any cell and wouldn't need a tab to set that.
Is there a reason that setting the paragraph to right aligned and adding either a right indent to the paragraph style or a right inset to the cell style won't work as well as setting a tab stop in the definition? Do you want your right-aligned tab stops in different places in different cells? If this is something that can be controlled by a style definition, that's the way to do it, rather than by manually inserting a tab into the cell.

Right-Indenting the last paragraph line in a Table Of Contents entry

Hi,
I'm using CS4 In Design.
I'm trying to format the paragraph styles for my Table of Contents.
I have the tab leaders working, everything looks good except that I have entries that have multiple lines, and I can't find a way to format the TOC paragraphs so that the lines BEFORE the last line are right-indented more than the last line (which of course contains the tab leads and page number).
I'd like to not have to go into my text and manually add Right Index Tabs in every heading instance that will be pulled into the TOC.
Thanks,
Robert

> How DOES one set last lines that don't leave room for leaders?
One manually breaks the line short (or lives with no leaders) using a
shift-return. I usually finesse TOCs after I think the client is mostly
done with correcting.
> I now note that some of my neat page numbers are nudged to the right...
I'm not sure what that means. If you're using a right-aligned tab (or
two tabs, if you want to right-align the ends of the leaders) your
numbers should right-align on the tab setting. Exactly. Nothing should
be "nudged to the right".

Right order of joining tables

Hi everybody,
I have read the SQL Tuning section of Performance Tuning Oracle Book of Oracle 10g. v.2.
In 11.5.4. paragraph titled "Controlling the Access Path and Join Order with Hints" , in the second note there is a small paragraph about the right join of the tables....
In whichever query i try ,i've noticed that altering the joining order of the tables the sql statistics (consistent gets , sorts(memory/disk)) are the same regardless of the join order....
Can you please give me an example or a source in which the modification of the join order of the tables in a sql query produce different results ...in statistics????
Thanks , a lot
Simon

Duplicate post. Don't answer this thread please Right order of joining tables.

Problem with store ResultSet and show result in table

Hi, I'm kind of new in ADF, I need to store ResultSet and show result in table-component. I have two problems:
1) I get my ResultSet by calling callStoredProcedure(...) and this returns actually ref_cursor as ResultSet.
When I try to println() contains of this result set in this method - it works OK (commented part),
but when I want to println() somewhere else (eg. in retrieveRefCursor() method) it doesn't work.
The problem is that the scrollability of the ResultSet is lost - it becomes a TYPE_FORWARD_ONLY ResultSet.
Is there any way to store data from ref_cursor for a long time?
2) My second problem is "store any result set and show this data in table". I have tried use method storeNewResultSet() but
without result (table contains only "No rows yet" and everything seems to be OK - no exception, no warning, no error...).
I have tried to call this method with ResultSet from select on dbs (without resultSet as ref_cursor ) - no result with createRowFromResultSet(),
storeNewResultSet(), setUserDataForCollection()...
I've tried a lot of ways to do this, but it doesn't work. I really don't know how to make it so it can work.
Thanks for your help.

How to align a String value to the right side inside a table column?

Hi,
I have a text view inside a table column which is mapped to a string attribute. I need to align the text in the text view to the right hand inside the table column. But its always getting aligned towards the left side. I have tried by setting the <b>hAlign</b> property of Element properties of Text View to <b>right / forced right</b> but still the text is getting aligned to the left side.
How do I align the String values in Text View towards the right hand side inside a Table Column?
Thanks and Regards,
Sayan Ghosh

Hello Sayan,
if i do get it right, you are adding an TextView element to a Table Cell. Then you should consider setting aligment within the particular cell. By calling:
YourCell.setHorizontalAlignment(CellHAlign.RIGHT)

Unable to find Right Indent when definition contains decimal number

Dear all,
I recieved a very long text from Microsoft Word, all set to "Normal" style. How annoying...
Anyway, some of the paragraphs are set with Right Indent that it's size is 15.011 mm. To my knowledge, Indesign shows up to 3 numbers afer the period even if there is more.
The problem is that when I perfome search for this size (15.011 mm) it could not find anything and I think it's because of the hidden decimal numbers, but i'm not sure.
Any solution will be great
Shlomit

It's probably a rounding problem. I'd try to get the exact measurement directly from the Word file and enter that in the ID dialog, including the units. If that doesn't work, I know I saw a similar question here, but it was more than a year ago, so a google search would be in order.

Using external parameters within MS Query returning that data right into a pivot table Excel 2010

In Excel 2010 i was able to use the external parameters within MS Query returning that data right into a pivot table. But the parameter on the worksheet will not save in the paremeter setting of the data connection. And if you save it and open
it and try to refresh the pivot table Excel stops responding and you have to force the file closed. I found out the reason to crash is that it did not keep the parameter saved.
Can this be fixed?

1. SELECT INTO
Below method will create table when data is inserted from one table to another table. Its useful when you need exactly same datatype as source table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Insert data using SELECT INTO
SELECT AddressLine1, City
INTO BothellAddresses
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
GO
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO
2. INSERT INTO SELECT
Below method will need table to be created prior to inserting data. Its really useful when table is already created and you want insert data from
another table.
Use AdventureWorks2008R2;
Go
---Create Table
CREATE TABLE BothellAddresses (AddressLine1 NVARCHAR(60), City NVARCHAR(30))
---Insert into above table using SELECT
INSERT INTO BothellAddresses(AddressLine1, City)
SELECT AddressLine1, City
FROM Person.Address
where City = 'Bothell';
---VERIFY DATA
Select AddressLine1, City
FROM BothellAddresses
---DROP TABLE
DROP TABLE BothellAddresses
GO

Strange results in table

Hi,
I have a customer table with many fields. Two of them are production order no
and batch no.
When I´m using SE11 and type in a batch no, I get about 2 entries per batch no.
If I now use a production order number of the found items for the batch number,
and do the selection with these numbers, I don´t get any result!
The same is happening in the debugger... I´m using the value of the production
order number found by using the batch number, but I´m not getting any result...
The field type is char30, so I have tried to fill the number up with leading zeros.
Still no result!
What can be the problem here?
Thank you!
Michael

so do you mena that there is a conversion routine alpha assigned to this custom data element of char 30 ?
I assume you mentioned about the conversion exit for data element of standard sap field for prod order, right ?
If no conversion routine is assigned to your custom data element, and this custom table is updated via custom program, chances are very high that the content is not filled from the beginning of the field..
it can be form somewhere in the middle of the field..or so..thats why u are not getting when yoy try to read for prod order.
best way is to doselect to a table and in debugging mode,
try to do offset like prodno0(12), prodno10(12)...prodno+18(12)/... etc and see which positions are occupied by the conent ..

Hi,
Thanks for posting the sample data in a useful form.
Don't forget to post the results you want to get from that data. Is this what you want?
STOR EOW         SALES_AMOUNT GUESTCOUNT
6504                        0          0
2385                        0          0
4290                        0          0If so, you want to inner-join sales_data and report_dates, and then outer-join that result set to report_stores.
Here's one way to do that:
SELECT    details.storenbr
,         dte.eow
,         NVL (SUM (sales.sales_amt), 0)       AS sales_amount
,         NVL (SUM (sales.guestcount), 0)       AS guestcount
FROM           report_stores   stores
INNER JOIN      store_details      details          ON     details.storeid        = stores.storeid
LEFT OUTER JOIN (     sales_data      sales
                  JOIN     report_dates    dte         ON      sales.businessdate BETWEEN   dte.bow
                                                       AND           dte.eow
          )                     ON      sales.storeid          = stores.storeid
GROUP BY details.storenbr
,             dte.eow
;As in your first query, you want the every row in report_stores to appear in the output, whether it matches anything in sales+dte or not, so you want to continue saying "FROM report_stores ... *LEFT* OUTER JOIN ...".
You'll notice that I changed
SUM (NVL (x, 0)) to
NVL (SUM (x), 0). Both give the same results, but, if you have 1000 rows, the former calls NVL 1000 times, but the latter only calls NVL once, so it's more efficient.

The script you posted was created by Prashanth Jayaram who also has posted his script right here on the TechNet Gallery :
PowerShell - SQL Inventory - Automatic - Excel File - EMAIL
What you are asking us is to rewrite the script. Which I doubt anyone here will do.
Maybe Prashanth Jayaram will help you if you ask him on the Gallery Question on his post.
