Create a column on one sheet based on unique value in another

Hello,
I'm running Excel 2013 and I have one workbook with two sheets - sheet1 and sheet2. Sheet1 has 24 columns and 26K rows. Column "A" is titled "id" and contains
id numbers that are also, some, found in column "A" of Sheet2 - which is also titled "id".
Sheet1 has no "description" column. Sheet 2 only has 2 columns - "A" is the "id" column and "b" is the "description" column.
A B
ID Description
58749651 a bunch of text
How can I create a description column on sheet1 (it would be column "U") and populate it with the description from sheet2 only where the "id" values from column "A" match?
Thanks!
Rob

Hi Rob,
Utilize the VLOOKUP function and this should resolve it.
For example, in a new column on sheet 1 (Y) a formula like this should suffice assuming ID is in column A:
=VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE)
Or more elegant:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,Sheet2!A:B,2,FALSE),"")
More information on VLOOKUP can be found here: VLOOKUP Function

Create a variable in one table based on a value on another.

I have two existing tables, say TABLE1 and TABLE2. I need to create a key variable in TABLE2 and insert values for that variable from TABLE1 i.e. create an explicit relationship between the tables using a key variable. There exists a relationship
between the tables in that for each record in TABLE1 there are 28 records in TABLE2 and the records are arranged in sequential order. So:
TABLE1 TABLE2
REQUIREMENT
RECORD 1 -->
RECORDS 1 to 28 Copy key variable from RECORD1 in TABLE1 into RECORDS 1 to 28 in TABLE2
RECORD 2 -->
RECORDS 29 to 56 Copy key variable from RECORD2 in TABLE1 into RECORDS 29 to 56 in TABLE2
RECORD 3 -->
RECORDS 57 to 84 Copy key variable from RECORD3 in TABLE1 into RECORDS 57 to 84 in TABLE2
RECORD n--> RECORDS (n-1) * 28 + 1 to n * 28
Copy key variable from RECORD n in TABLE1 into RECORDS (n-1) * 28 + 1 to RECORDS n * 28 in TABLE2
Please help if you can. I am prepared to give any additional information when asked.

How to modify F4 help of one parameter based on the value of another?

Hi,
My Query is as follows:
I have 3 select-options / parameters on the selection screen.
If I enter some value in the first parameter the values in the second parameter should reflect accordingly.
For example: The 3 selection-screen parameters are:
select-options: s_werks for pa0001-werks no intervals,
                      s_btrtl for pa0001-btrtl no intervals,
                      s_kostl for pa0001-kostl no intervals.
On exceuting the report, say I do a F4 and select '1000' for the first parameter (s_werks).
Now after selecting the value for the first parameter if I do a F4 on the second parameter (s_btrtl) then it should prompt me with a F4 help containing values only corresponding to '1000' entered in s_werks and not all the values maintainined for btrtl.
I have tried AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR S_BTRTL-LOW.
And then used the FM F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST.
But At Selection-Screen On Value Request the selection screen parameter s_werks does not show any value. It reflects the value only once it reaches Start-of-selection.
Can anyone please guide me how to go about it?

hi
Please do it in this way..
TABLES: pa0001.
select-options: s_werks for pa0001-werks no intervals,
s_btrtl for pa0001-btrtl no intervals,
s_kostl for pa0001-kostl no intervals.
AT SELECTION-SCREEN ON VALUE-REQUEST FOR S_BTRTL-LOW.
PERFORM sub_pop_btrtl .

DATA : l_wa_dynp TYPE dynpread,
        l_i_dynp TYPE STANDARD TABLE OF dynpread,
        l_wa_temp LIKE LINE OF S_werks.
REFRESH s_temp[].
l_wa_dynp-fieldname = 'S_WERKS-LOW'.
APPEND l_wa_dynp TO l_i_dynp.
Get the screen values of template
CALL FUNCTION 'DYNP_VALUES_READ'
    EXPORTING
      dyname               = sy-repid
      dynumb               = sy-dynnr
    TABLES
      dynpfields           = l_i_dynp

      OTHERS               = 11.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
Do Nothing
ENDIF.
Put the screen value in the select-options
READ TABLE l_i_dynp INTO l_wa_dynp INDEX 1.
l_wa_temp-sign = 'I'.
l_wa_temp-option = 'EQ'.
l_wa_temp-low = l_wa_dynp-fieldvalue.
Now you use l_wa_temp as plant field

Hide a column in one table view but show it in another

I need to hide a column in one tables view but show it in another table view in the same report. Is this possible?
Any help on this is appreciated.
Edited by: VNC on Jan 11, 2010 9:26 AM

Hi VNC,
If you're crafty with javascript, you could probably write a script that would set the CSS property DISPLAY to NONE to hide the column in the table view you didn't want but leave it there in the view you did want.

Fields required based on a value in another field

Hi,
I am looking to have fields required (Annual Revenues and # of Employees) based on the value of another field (Ownership). Basically, if the value is Public the user is required to enter the Annual Revenue and Employees fields. I thought about using dynamic layouts but the only key field for Accounts is Account Type.
Thanks,
Caryn

Hi Caryn!
I think it is not possible for making #Employees and Revenues required depending on Ownership(as it is a look up field).. it should be possible if you want to do it on any other criteria other than ownership by just renaming the Account Type, Disable all the values of Account Tyope add new values to Pick List and make it driving picklist upon your requirements..
If you require Account Type, create a custom picklist "Account-Type" and add the values.

Validating an attribute based on the value of another while inserting

Hi guys
I need to validate an attribute based on the value of another attribute.
Example:
inside some entity I have the following validation function
public boolean validateAtt1(Number data){
     if (this.getAtt2() < some vlaue)
          return false;
     return true;
this function works fine when I'm updating a record, but when I'm inserting a new record the this.getAtt2 return null, now I don't want to override the validateEntity function I want to override the validate function for att1; so in other words is there a way to reach att2 in the validation function of att1 when I'm inserting a new record, because the this.getAtt2() returns null if I'm inserting a new record.

Using attribute-level setter methods won't work because when the value of a particular attribute is being set, the values of the other attributes might not yet have been set. This explains for example why it does not work when inserting a new record. You therefore have to validate at entity level.
Rather than coding on the validateEntity() method you use a built-in Validator or Method Validator. When recording validators like this, you can provide a separate message for each business rule. If you also have the bundled exception mode enables (which will be the case by default for web applications), then multiple messages can be shown at the same time.
If you have one business rule involving two different attributes, for example a and b, and you must provide different messages based on if a is causing the violation or b, you can do it like this:
- implement one method doing the validation and that will indicate which attribute is causing the violation
- implement two different method validators (with two different messages) that call the method doing the actual validation and return false based on the attribute causing the violation
For more information about implementing business rules in ADF BC, you might have a look at this white paper:

How to use one variable as a default value for another variable?

Hi Experts,
Is it possible to use one variable as a default value for another variable?
For example:
Variable 1 = current calendar year month
Variable 2 = mandatory input ready variable for calendar year month
I want to use variable 1 as default value for variable 2, but also have the ability to change the month if required.
Thanks!
Kathryn

u can use replacement path variable
in that case u can replace the values of 1 variable with the another variable...
but u cannot do this setting
u cannot make variable 2 as mandatory
u cannot enter value for variable 2
because by default it will take the value of variable 1
u have to make follow settings
variable 2
name , technical name
processing by = replacement path
infoobject = ocalmonth
next tab
replaced by another variable
variable name
offset start , offset lenght
save and hit okey

How to Visible/Hide an Item based on the value of another Item

Hi
I need to visible and hide a textitem based on the value of another item.This form has 3 blocks, and the both item is in the first Master Block.
My code is:
if :RECORDTYPE=7 then
     Set_Item_Property('BLOCK.ITEM',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_TRUE);
     Set_Item_Property('BLOCK.ITEM',ENABLED,PROPERTY_TRUE);
ELSE
     Set_Item_Property('BLOCK.ITEM',VISIBLE,PROPERTY_FALSE);
Set_Item_Property('BLOCK.ITEM',ENABLED,PROPERTY_FALSE);
:BLOCK.ITEM:=NULL;
end if;
I wrote the code in the Validate Trigger, but not working when moving Next Record & Previous Record
Thanks in advance
Rizly

Read the 'Propagation of Property Changes' section towards the end of the page for Set_Item_Property in the online help. I'm not sure what you mean by locking automatically but perhaps it's because of this.
You should also ensure the item you're setting to invisible is not the current item (check :system.cursor_item and go to a different item if necessary).

Is there a way to create a list in a new sheet based on a value within an entry on the first sheet?

I have a list of DVDs in one sheet which are categorised etc. as well as having true/false checkboxes to mark whether they have been watched.
Is there a way of populating a second sheet only with the rows that are marked "FALSE" in the "Watched" column?

Yes, but you migth find it just as efficient to filter the first table to show only rows where the checkbox is unchecked.
Here's a method for showing the list on a second table (whih may be placed o a second sheet).
Add an Index column ( C ) to the Data table.
C2, and filled down: =IF(B=FALSE,COUNTIF($B$2:B2,FALSE),"")
The second table, Not Watched, uses the formula below to retrieve the titles of the indexed (ie. not watched) DVDs.
A2, and filled down: =IF(ROW()-1>MAX(Data :: $C),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Data :: $C,Data :: $A))
Th IF part at the beginning acts as a switch to stop LOOKUP when the last unread title has been retrieved.

Barry

How to create a column graph with colors per set of values

I need to create with Microsoft Excel, a column graph that based on different values, each column will contain different color.
To be precise:
E.g.:
- Green: If it is 0
- Orange: If it is between 0 and 10
- Red: If it is more than 10
I would appreciate to help me how to do this.

Hi EriValidata,
According to your description, I get the result as shown in the following figure.
Is this a correct result? If yes, this is an excel chart with conditional formatting. Please try the following steps to create the chart.
To accomplish this task, you will need to create three additional columns of data and plot those three columns of data-and not the original column of sales data – in a stacked column chart. As shown in the figure.
And the formula in C2 is: =IF(AND(B2>0,B2<=10),B2,0). The formula shows the value in column C if it falls between the limits in rows 0 and 10; otherwise it shows 0. The formula is filled into the range C2:E4.
Then we select the source data with A2:A4 and C1:E4, as shown in the figure to insert a column chart. The chart now shows 3 sets of colored bars, one for each data range of interest.
And I upload a TEST2.xlsx file on OneDrive, you can download this file via this link:

Hope it’s helpful.

Insert values to one table based on a value inserted into another table

Hi,
I've got a form based off a report which creates a new project. I've added an additional process to this form to insert four new values into another table as soon as the new project is created and the PK for that project is generated. This was working last week (of course!) and now seems to not work at all. It's complaining that the PK I was getting from my first insert was null. Here is one the the statements in my process I'm trying to run:
insert into week_group values(week_group_seq.nextval, (SELECT trunc(NEXT_DAY(SYSDATE, 'FRIDAY')) FROM dual), 0, '', :P45_PROJECT_SEQ, sysdate, :APP_USER);
The complaint I get that it's getting null where :P45_PROJECT_SEQ should be.
Thoughts?
Thanks,
Jon

Hi Andy,
Thanks for the tip. Those two values didn't match and I updated them so they do and I'm still getting a "cannot insert NULL..." error.
When I turn on debug I see that I'm getting the PK and I see the value. Here's my debug output:
0.24: ...Process "Get PK": PLSQL (AFTER_SUBMIT) declare function get_pk return varchar2 is begin for c1 in (select PROJECT_SEQ.nextval next_val from dual) loop return c1.next_val; end loop; end; begin :P45_PROJECT_SEQ := get_pk; end;

I notice that when it runs my process "Add Week Groups" it's not displaying all of the SQL. But the SQL is fine, it's right here:
insert into week_group values(week_group_seq.nextval, (SELECT trunc(NEXT_DAY(SYSDATE, 'FRIDAY')) FROM dual), 0, '', :P45_PROJECT_SEQ, sysdate, :APP_USER);
Hmmm....what about the "reset page" action in the last of the 0.26 lines?

Populate one text field on a form based on the value in another

I am new to APEX and building my first application.
When a user enters a value in one field, I would like to run a SQL command and then display a value in another field based on the value in the first field. For instance, if a user enters a part number in one field, when they tab off of the field, I would like to display the name of the part in the part name field.
Thanks

Thanks. That put me on the right track. I used that link to find the link http://htmldb.oracle.com/pls/otn/f?p=11933:11:2890374750690437 and then using the two was able to put together a solution.

Problem updating a control on one panel based on a value change in another control on a different panel

Hi,
I am trying to update the value of a control on one panel when the value of another control on a different panel is changed. The two panels are saved in two different .uir files, so there are two associated .h files generated by CVI. The problem is that, inside the callback function for the control that is being modified (Ctrl_Id_A on Panel_A), when I call SetCtrlVal(Panel_B, Ctrl_Id_B, Value); 'Panel_B' and 'Ctrl_Id_B' (which have the same numeric values as Panel_A = 1 and Ctrl_Id_A = 2 in their respective .h files) are being interpreted as Panel_A and Ctrl_Id_A. I never understood how CVI makes this distinction, eg. knowing which of PANEL_A = 1 and PANEL_B = 1 is being referred to, but didn't worry about it since I never needed cross-communication between panels until now. Any help on how to implement this would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
Solved!
Go to Solution.

This is a basic issue on which you can find tons of forum posts
The online help for the function recitates:
int SetCtrlVal (int panelHandle, int controlID, ...);
Parameters
Input
Name
Type
Description
panelHandle
int
Specifier for a particular panel that is currently in memory. You obtain this
handle from LoadPanel, NewPanel, or DuplicatePanel.
controlID
int
The defined constant, located in the .uir header file, that you assigned to the control in the User Interface Editor, or the ID returned by NewCtrl or DuplicateCtrl.
value
New value of the control. The data type of value must match the data type of the control.
That is, you must not use the panel constant name in the first parameter of SetCtrlVal, use the panel handle instead. The system guarantees that all panel handles are unique throughout the whole application whichever is the number of panels used in every moment.
int SetCtrlVal (int panelHandle, int controlID, ...);
Purpose
Sets the value of a control to a value you specify.
When you call SetCtrlVal on a list box or a ring control, SetCtrlVal
sets the current list item to the first item that has the value you
specify. To set the current list item through a zero-based index, use SetCtrlIndex.
When you call SetCtrlVal on a text box, SetCtrlVal appends value to the contents of the text box and scrolls the text box to display value. Use ResetTextBox to replace the contents of the text box with value.
Note This function updates the displayed value immediately. Use SetCtrlAttribute with ATTR_CTRL_VAL to set the control value without immediately updating the displayed value. For this reason, SetCtrlAttribute with ATTR_CTRL_VAL is generally faster than SetCtrlVal. However, if the control in which you are setting the value is the active control in the panel, SetCtrlAttribute with ATTR_CTRL_VAL displays the value immediately.
Note This function is not valid for graph and strip chart controls.
Parameters
Input
Name
Type
Description
panelHandle
int
Specifier for a particular panel that is currently in memory. You obtain this
handle from LoadPanel, NewPanel, or DuplicatePanel.
controlID
int
The defined constant, located in the .uir header file, that you assigned to the control in the User Interface Editor, or the ID returned by NewCtrl or DuplicateCtrl.
value
New value of the control. The data type of value must match the data type of the control.
