Copying Query & Formatting on Worksheet to New Worksheet in Same Workbook

Hi,
Can anyone advise me the quickest way to copy a query that is working on one worksheet to a new worksheet. More importantly how do I retain the formatted features of the worksheet from which I am coping from? I have tried to copy the query to a new worksheet which is OK but I cannot seem to retain the format features from the original worksheet. Am I missing something simple? We are on version 3.5.
Thanks

Shanky_621: Thanks for taking the time to help. The following blog article talks about what I'm trying to do:
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;914288
The goal is to recreate the inefficent plan on a test database without copying the data. The article talks about this as a "statistics only copy".
You noted, "SQL server generating query plan is internal mechanism into which we cannot interfere unless we use Query hint...". The engine uses statistics and histograms to generate plans then choose the most efficent one for execution. Those statistics
are generated from data in the database, and that process is done periodically. You don't think the engine actively scans each table in a query each and every time a query is run? Right! That would be crazy. It just checks the stats. What I'm trying to
do is pull the stats from one database into another. The article does a better job explaining this.
JRStern (Josh): Yes brother! You understand what I'm trying to do. Like you, I am wrestling with a feature/process I've only read about. The actual execution is... not as expected. I actually just found the article I noted to Shanky. I'm trying that process
now. I'll tell you how it goes.

Worksheet content being overwritten by another worksheet from same workbook

Has anyone else experienced this issue in Plus and Viewer.
On a handful of occasions now I have had the data content part of a worksheet overwritten with that from another worksheet within the same workbook. The title, text area and worksheet descriptions stay the same, but the items selected in my crosstab, the conditions used, calcs used are replaced with those used a different worksheet. The worksheets are all using items from the same folders in the EUL, but each one selects slightly different columns from the others and each has a couple of specific conditions.
This happened today when I switched from one worksheet to another in Plus, then back to the original sheet. The original sheet data content was overwritten by the content from the worksheet I had switched to!!
The worksheet is only being accessed via Plus and Viewer, not Desktop and the version is 10.1.2.48.18.

Hi,
I'm with Russ. This sounds ugly and I've never seen it before. However, there is another interesting thing that happened to someone else in 9.0.4 version recently where the workbook was owned by one owner, shared to another, a modification made to the workbook by the shared to userid. The original workbook accepted the change. It sounds like this was caused by IDENTIFIER issues. Could it be possible, (improbable I think), that the IDENTIFIER on each worksheet is the same? I don't know how this could happen but I bet a million dollars once (that I don't have) that the workbook situation couldn't happen. To check this, right click on each worksheet name and checkout the IDENTIFIER. I also think you should log a SR. It would be nice if you would post the resolution here once one is found.
The workbook issue has been logged as bug 7565438 . (problem identified by stephen lee)
Thanks for sharing an interesting issue!

Need to delete blank rows from various worksheets in same workbook-reg

Hi Team,
I am searching for a macro to delete the blank rows from my worksheets.
Sub testIt()
Dim r As Long, endRow As Long, pasteRowIndex As Long, Worksheet As Object
Application.ScreenUpdating = False
endRow = 1000
pasteRowIndex = 1
For r = 1 To endRow
If Cells(r, Columns("A").Column).Value = "12345" Then
Rows(r).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("12345").Select
Rows(pasteRowIndex).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
CutCopyMode = False
pasteRowIndex = pasteRowIndex + 1
Sheets("NORMAL").Select
End If
If Cells(r, Columns("A").Column).Value = "45678" Then
Rows(r).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("45678").Select
Rows(pasteRowIndex).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
pasteRowIndex = pasteRowIndex + 1
Sheets("NORMAL").Select
End If
If Cells(r, Columns("A").Column).Value = "36925" Then
Rows(r).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("36925").Select
Rows(pasteRowIndex).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
pasteRowIndex = pasteRowIndex + 1
Sheets("NORMAL").Select
End If
If Cells(r, Columns("A").Column).Value = "789456" Then
Rows(r).Select
Selection.Copy
Sheets("789456").Select
Rows(pasteRowIndex).Select
ActiveSheet.Paste
pasteRowIndex = pasteRowIndex + 1
Sheets("NORMAL").Select
next r
end sub()
the above code searches for the value "12345" "45678" "36925" "789456" if found in worksheet (normal) then it picks the value and paste it in new corresponding worksheet with sheet number (12345). while pasting like
this it has some blank rows so it need to delete the rows help me out of this problem. thanks in advance

Hi vigneshvicky,
This code snippet works fine to delete the blank rows, please try it:
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
'Deletes the entire row within the selection if the ENTIRE row contains no data.
Dim i As Long
'Turn off calculation and screenupdating to speed up the macro.
With Application
.Calculation = xlCalculationManual
.ScreenUpdating = False
'Work backwards because we are deleting rows.
For i = Selection.Rows.Count To 1 Step -1
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Selection.Rows(i)) = 0 Then
Selection.Rows(i).EntireRow.Delete
End If
Next i
.Calculation = xlCalculationAutomatic
.ScreenUpdating = True
End With

How can I copy SQL results to different csv worksheets in the same workbook

Hi all,
I'm running a series of select statements using SQLPlus and I want the results for each statement to be copied to different worksheets within the same workbook.
For example, this is what I want: 'select statement 1' is run and spooled to file.csv / worksheet1. When 'select statement 2' is run it is spooled to file.csv / worksheet2. Same csv file but a different worksheet.
Right now my SQL is creating a seperate csv file for each select statement. Here's an example of my SQL:
spool c:\TEMP22\App_Eng1.csv replace
Select A.OBJECTOWNERID||','||B.OBJECTVALUE1
from PSPROJECTITEM B, PSAEAPPLDEFN A
Where B.PROJECTNAME = 'PRJETSC342'
and B.SOURCESTATUS = 2
and B.TARGETSTATUS = 1
and B.OBJECTVALUE2 = ' '
and B.OBJECTTYPE=33
and A.AE_APPLID = B.OBJECTVALUE1;
spool off
Is what I want to accomplish possible? Any ideas? Thanks.

As far as I know you can't have "worksheets" for .csv files. They are simply comma separated values (a flat file). I would suggest that you generate separate csv files for each of your queries and then create a new xls file and import each csv file as a new worksheet.
If you want to automate this process, I recommend you read this:

Copy query (SQ01) to new query with new infoset

Hi,
Not sure if this is correct forum.
Is there a way to copy existing query with an infoset to a new query using another created infoset?
If so, please explain how.
Kind regards

Hi,
If you want to copy a query for another infoset its not possible.
The copied query will work for that infoset only which you have been generated.
You need to make a new infoset and than create a new query for it.
Regrds,

I have a numbers spreadsheet for tracking company data. I want to copy the format of the spreadsheet (rows, columns,and formulas) but have all of the data fields be blank for the new year. How do I do that?

I have a numbers spreadsheet for tracking company data. I want to copy the format of the spreadsheet (rows, columns,and formulas) but have all of the data fields be blank for the new year. How do I do that?

click and hold on one cell, then drag to select the range, then release, then type the delete key. Only inlude cells in the range you do not want to keey the contents of the cell. You can remove one-off cells by holding the command key and clicking cells to add or remove as needed.

Where has the copy query button gone to in BEx Anlayzer 7.0?

Hi,
In BEx Analyzer 3.5, there is a copy query button under tools. It allows you to copy query within a workbook to another sheet.
I can't find this button in BEx Analyzer 7.0.
Any idea on how to get this copy query button back?
Thanks.

A good workaround is the "Add Drilldown According to..... in New Worksheets" context menu selection. Once you have your worksheet/report the way you want it, from the navigational panel with free characteristics, choose a field that has one or two values in it (you can put in filter values to do this, ie 2 calendar years). Right click and choose the entry "Add drilldown according to...". This will create new worksheets for every value contained in the infoprovider for that characteristic (hence the need to apply a filter). The new worksheets will be a replica of sheet one, filtered by and named by the characteristic values you've chosen.
From there you can continue to filter, drilldown, etc.
Hope that helps,

I have a rather old iMac 20" (mid 2007) and I want to upgrade the Hard drive. How do I change it? How do I transfer all my applications? May I just copy the old hd into the new one? Thanks.

I have a rather old iMac 20" (mid 2007) and I want to upgrade the Hard drive. How do I change it? How do I transfer all my applications? May I just copy the old hd into the new one? Thanks.

There are many online tutorials on how to change out the HD on a mid 2007 iMac. One of the originals is from 2007 and is Upgrade your iMac 20" or iMac 24" aluminum (mid 2007) to 1TB Hard Drive and 4 GB RAM - DIY Guide. As far as migrating your system Apple helps out with that in Setup Assistant which automatically starts when you turn on a new Mac for the first time. After you have installed the new HD you will have to format the new HD to Mac OS Extended (Journaled) and then you will have to install OS X. The first time you turn it on Setup Assistant will start. Follow the directions and you will be fine. In order to restore your information you will need to backup what is on the current internal HD first. I'd recommend using Time Machine (Assuming you are using Leopard or later) AND also creating a bootable clone using either SuperDuper or Carbon Copy Cloner.
Please complete your profile so at the very least we know what version of OS X your machine has installed.

Copying Boot Camp Vista partition to new hard drive

This is OS X Lion using Boot Camp version 4.0.4 with Vista on a separate hard drive. I want to move it from an 80Gb drive to a 1Tb. Looking for the quick and cheap way of copying the bootcamp partition to the new drive because it's the same Mac Pro so only the drive size will be different. Google searches has me using two software to copy the Apple bootcamp and Winclone to copy Vista.
Isn't there a simpler way without purchasing software I will only use once? I'd rather just reinstall Vista and the other software manually than pay anything over $20 to do it.
Any advice is appreciated.

My apologies. I didn't make myself clear. I followed the proper procedure and got the error message. I tried the other formatting to see if it would help. All the same results.
I found a possible solution on another Apple thread. I am going to move the drive to have Vista installed moved to the first stall on my Mac Pro 1.1. It is claimed that this will bypass the issue of GP if do that. Then after installation I can switch them back.
I will post the results. I had no issue the first two times I did this since using Bootcamp when I first got this Mac Pro over 7 years ago.

How to Copy the formatting of text already in an indesign document?

Hello everybody.
I'm still fairly new to indesign and am self taught so feel I have missed some of the little tools that make life simpler.
One such problem I'm having is that when I import text into my brochure I'm creating, I need it to be formatted the same as the rest of the text in my project. Is there a simple way for me to copy the formatting style in the rest of the document or do I have to choose the specific font, colour, size and justification every time I import some new text?
I know in Microsoft word for example there is a specific button which copy's the formatting from one section of text to another, is there a similar kind of button in indesign?
Thanks
Ant

You can use the Eyedropper tool to copy type attributes. But you are probably much better off learning how to use Paragraph Styles and applying them consistently. That way when you need to make a change, all your paragraphs will update in lock-step.

Copy Field Formats into multiple fields

I have a form that has a spreadsheet layout. Multiple fields need to be formatted as currency or date. Outside of using Java scripts is there a way to copy the formatting of one filed to multipe others? I want to avoid Java script because I'm lousy with it.

Is it possible to have each field separated by a comma? Space
delimiters won't work since not all cities & states are one
word (ie. New York, New York) however a comma delimiter would allow
you to use simple list functions to extract the data.
If this isn't possible but the data is always in the format:
city<comma>state<space>zip, then you could extract the
city using comma as the delimiter and then extract the zip code
using the ListLast() function with space as the delimiter which
would leave you with the state as the remaining text. This would
only work however if your data is consistently in the format
described above.
Failing this you could build two tables with states and
cities and then use them to identify valid states and cities and
extract the data that way.
cheers

Copied query not changeable when "Changeable Original" setting used.

Hi
We are letting users create queries in Production. All the authorisations are working as designed. We have settings for query elements set to "Changeable Original" in the object changeability.
When a user creates a new query they can save it, change it, save copies, all as required. The expectation is that they would be able to copy a query that originated in another system but was transported and save it under a new technical name and change it. This is not possible. It is as though the system thinks that the copy originated in the other system and as such cannot be changed.
If we change the query elements to "Changeable Everything" it all works but we do not want this setting for obvious reasons.
Has anyone come accross this? Can anyone suggest a way to fix this issue?
Thanks
Gareth

Hi Chetan, VNK
Thanks for your replies...
We have made the decision to allow query developement to a limited user community in Production. This has it's own name space different from the name space used for the transported queries. There are many reasons for this approach which i won't go into (unless you want me to...)!
The users do have the correct access to create in production. They are able to create and change new reports within their namespace within their InfoArea and all that is working fine. I would expect that opening and existing query in production and saving a copy in their namespace, that the new query should be changeable. Would you not expect this? You are correct, i do not want them to be able to change queries that originated in the development environment but the name space control combined with the changeable original setting in object changeability should control this.
The error i get is not a transport error...it is a system changeability error suggesting that the system thinks the new query was not created in production.
Any further ideas?
Thanks
Gareth
