Creating a counter in excel, not using prompt

Hi,
I am running a script with lots of calcs... these ones are hard coded (not using a prompt at all), therefore whenever I run the script it takes at least 1 min to finish.
I'd like to know if there is a way to use a time counter (macro) or something in order to display the amount of time left to update the results in Excel.
Thanx in advance.

When you are speaking about script logic doing calculations you can not know how long it will take the generate queryies
It can be 1 second doing a selection for 1000 records and it can be 1 minutes for 1 000 000 records.
So you can not have a counter saying the time left because you don't know how long it will take.
Something can be created if it is really necessary but it will take quite a lot of effort for an information which doesn't provide any help because it is not reliable.(are too many factors having impact for calculation time to do a good estimation).

Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the stand

HI
Order types, why do we need to create our order types and not use the standard ones during implementation.

Hi Raj,
Well there is no hard and fast rule that you have to copy nad create a new order type. Its just to meet our own requirements that we copy the standard and make the changes if required to meet our business needs.
And by this way we keep unchanged the standard order type for further use.
If you are sure that the standard order type satisfies your need you can directly use that only.
I hope this clarifies the issue.

Create timer function that does not use start-sleep

Hey all I would like to create a timer function that does not use the start-sleep command because this freezes my GUI. I've wrote the start of a function but it seems to move on before the specified time has finished.
Here's what I have:
$Global:timerCounter=0
$Global:timer = new-object System.Windows.Threading.DispatcherTimer
Function Timer{
param(
[parameter(Mandatory=$true)]
[int]$time
$timer.Interval = [TimeSpan]"0:0:$($time)"
$timer.Add_Tick({
$Global:timerCounter++
if($Global:timerCounter -ge 1) {
$Global:timer.Stop()
$timer.Start()
Then in my script i would like to call Timer -time #of seconds. It seems that when I call it the add_tick is registered and then started but it continues on with the rest of my script. Is there a better way of doing this without using start-sleep?
Thanks!

Okay the issue I'm having is that I have code after the $timer.start that I don't wan't to run till a powershell job is done. In all the examples I've seen it has to come to the end of the code then it starts the tick. So in your example it comes to the
end of of your code and showsDialog() then starts ticking.
So:
add-type -AssemblyName system.windows.forms
$form=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Form
$btn=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Button
$form.Controls.Add($btn)
$btn.add_Click({$form.Close()})
$btn.Dock='Fill'
$btn.Font='Lucida Console, 20.25pt, style=Bold'
$btn.Text=[DateTime]::Now
$timer=New-Object System.Windows.Forms.Timer
$timer.Interval=1000
$timer.add_Tick({$btn.Text=[DateTime]::Now})
$timer.Start()
$form.ShowDialog()
#I want to do other things here but only after the ps job has finished
Thanks I really am trying to figure this out.
Here is the code I'm working with I guess I'm unclear on how to order the timer and the rest of my code:
if($syncHash.mainCopy){
$syncHash.mainJobDone = $false
$syncHash.writeHost = $false
while(-not $syncHash.mainJobDone){
[System.Windows.Forms.Application]::DoEvents()
if($syncHash.writeHost -eq $false){
Write-OutputBox -Message "Copying"
$syncHash.writeHost = $true
$syncHash.inProgress = $syncHash.mainCopy | Where-Object {$_.State -match 'running'}
$syncHash.currentCopyTime++
}elseif($syncHash.currentCopyTime -ge ($syncHash.averageCopyTime * 2) -and $syncHash.collectionCopyTime.Count -ne 0){
$syncHash.Unusable += $syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine
$syncHash.computersNotForInstall += $syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine
$syncHash.inProgress = $null
$syncHash.mainCopyTimedOut = $True
Write-OutputBox -Type WARNING: -Message "$($syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine) is taking too long. Removing Job.."
Add-Content -Path $log_path -Value "$($syncHash.currentMainCopyMachine) taking to long to copy to"
Stop-Job $syncHash.mainCopy
}else{
$syncHash.inProgress = $syncHash.mainCopy | Where-Object {$_.State -match 'running'}
Write-OutputBox -Message "." -NoNewLine
############################# ############# So I need it to wait right here I have other code other than in this block ############# that needs to run $syncHash.currentCopyTime++
if(-not $syncHash.inProgress){
$syncHash.mainJobDone = $true

Creating Links to Object but not using the record id field in the web add

Hello,
Im trying to create a link between OnDemand an another system but the other system is the source system so it will be creating the HTML Link based on values the user selectes.
What i am trying to do is create a link link the following:
https://secure-ausomxdsa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/ServiceRequestDetail?ServiceRequestDetailForm.Id=ADSA-73J818&ocTitle=484426-429198955&OMTGT=ServiceRequestDetailForm&OMTHD=ServiceRequestDetailNav&ocEdit=Y&OCTYPE=&ocTitleField=SR+Number
but without "ServiceRequestDetailForm.Id=ADSA-73J818" at the end i want something like
https://secure-ausomxdsa.crmondemand.com/OnDemand/user/ServiceRequestDetail?ServiceRequestDetailForm.SRNumber=484426-429198955&ocTitle=484426-429198955&OMTGT=ServiceRequestDetailForm&OMTHD=ServiceRequestDetailNav&ocEdit=Y&OCTYPE=&ocTitleField=SR+Number
As this is not using the ID field, Is this possible can someone point me in the right direction on how i should start?

Hi Jonno,
It is not possible to use links to object without Id field. U can pass other values but Id is important- based on that only OnDemand identifies the record.
So what i would suggest is
1) Either use Id along with SR Number in ur source system.
Since what i understood is u are not creating new SR so u have the Id of the SR. Along with SRNumber save Id also in the external system
2) Or use Webservices to query with SR Number for the Id then use it in the link.
Hope this helps.

Creating Invoice from a Delivery Note using SDK

Hi,
I am working on SAP 2005 A Patch 4 with SQL 2000 SP 4. I am using VB.NET (VS2005). I am trying to create a Invoice from a Delivery note which is created based on a Sales order.
I am getting the following error
Error occured while saving Invoice: 0 - '15' is not a valid value for field 'BaseType'. The valid values are: '-1' - '', '0' - '', '23' - 'Sales Quotation', '17' - 'Sales Order', '16' - 'A/R Returns'
The Code that i used to create the invoice is as follows
Dim oInvoice As SAPbobsCOM.Documents
        oInvoice = pcompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInvoices)
        oDelivery = pcompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oDeliveryNotes)
        Try
            If oDelivery.GetByKey(iDlvNo) = True Then
                sTaxCodes = sTaxCode
                oInvoice = pcompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders)
                oInvoice.CardCode = oDelivery.CardCode
                oInvoice.SalesPersonCode = oDelivery.SalesPersonCode
                oInvoice.DocType = SAPbobsCOM.BoDocumentTypes.dDocument_Items
                oInvoice.DocumentSubType = SAPbobsCOM.BoDocumentSubType.bod_None
                oInvoice.Address = oDelivery.Address
                oInvoice.ShipToCode = oDelivery.ShipToCode
                oInvoice.Address2 = oDelivery.Address2
                oInvoice.JournalMemo = "Invoice - " & oDelivery.CardCode
                oInvoice.Comments = "Based on Delivery " & oDelivery.DocNum
                oInvoice.PaymentGroupCode = oDelivery.PaymentGroupCode
                oInvoice.DocDueDate = Now.Month & "/" & Now.Day & "/" & Now.Year
                For iRowNo = 0 To oDelivery.Lines.Count - 1
                    If iRowNo > 0 Then
                        oInvoice.Lines.Add()
                    End If
                    oDelivery.Lines.SetCurrentLine(iRowNo)
                    oInvoice.Lines.ItemCode = oDelivery.Lines.ItemCode
                    oInvoice.Lines.Quantity = oDelivery.Lines.Quantity
                    oInvoice.Lines.Rate = oDelivery.Lines.Rate
                    oInvoice.Lines.BaseType = SAPbobsCOM.BoAPARDocumentTypes.bodt_DeliveryNote
                    oInvoice.Lines.BaseEntry = iDlvNo 'DocEntry of Delivery Note
                    oInvoice.Lines.BaseLine = iRowNo
                    oInvoice.Lines.TaxCode = sTaxCodes
                Next
                iReturnValue = oInvoice.Add()
                If iReturnValue <> 0 Then
                    pcompany.GetLastError(iReturnValue, sErrorDescription)
                    Throw New Exception("Error occured while saving Invoice: " + _
                                       iErrorNo.ToString() + " - " + sErrorDescription)
                Else
                    MessageBox.Show("Invoice created succesfully")
                End If
            End If
Since in the error message it has specified that i have given the BaseType as Delivery which has a value of 15 i changed that from bodt_DeliveryNote to bodt_Order which has a value as 17.
When i tried creating the invoice again it gave the error
Error occured while saving Invoice: 0 - Target item number does not match base item number. [RDR1.TargetType][line: 2]
I am not able to proceed further ... can any one help me
thanks in advance
Ganesh

Greetings,
I am having a similar problem, only I'm doing it as suggested in Louis' reply. In fact I copied that code and tried it. It's giving me a 2028 error with no description.
I had been doing it slightly differently and the error I was getting was 5002 "Item no. is missing [INV1.ItemCode][line 2]" I don't have 2 lines and I'm certain I have an item code. The numbers I'm putting in for baseentry & baseline are absolutely in the table and the order is open.
Here is that code:
        oDNUpd = oCompany.GetBusinessObject(SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oInvoices)
        oDNUpd.CardCode = CardCode.Text
        oDNUpd.Lines.BaseEntry = CInt(SalesOrder.Text)
        oDNUpd.Lines.BaseLine = CInt(baseline.Text)
        oDNUpd.Lines.BaseType = SAPbobsCOM.BoObjectTypes.oOrders
        oDNUpd.Lines.Add()
        lretcode = oDNUpd.Add
I'm using SBO 2005 patch 7 (and the new dll). I have similar code doing a stock transfer and it's working fine.
Thanks for any suggestions you can offer

HT204088 I can't create an apple ID for not using credit card. How can i create an apple ID with no credit cards ? Thank you.

I read the supporting article. But those pictures were old. Also the format had changed. I can't create an Apple ID with no credit cards? I got no credit cards. I am just a secondary student and how can I have a credit card?

Follow the instructions on this page exactly : http://support.apple.com/kb/HT2534 i.e. select a free app and click on 'create Apple ID' when 'buying' it (it worked for me yesterday).

To create an x.509 certificate not using any tools

I'm having a project, is to generate an x.509 certificate without using any other tools, did anyone know the bytes structure of an x.509 v1 certificate, please kindly help! thanks!

x509 certificates are described using ASN.1 notation; see http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc2459.txt for all the gory options. The ASN.1 structures are encoded into bytes by following the Distinguished Encoding Rules (DER) for ASN.1. See "A Layman's Guide ..." at http://luca.ntop.org/Teaching/Appunti/asn1.html.

Webi Intelligence - Linking Reports but not using prompts

Hi, I am trying to link Report 1 to Report 2 but rather than passing the selection to run a query to Report 2, it simply filters for the selection from Report 1 on Report 2.
Step1: Report 1 - Select salesman Name
Step2: Goes to Report 2 and filters for the selected Salesman name from step above
In order words, I don't want Report 2 to refresh or run, I just want what was selected from Report 1 and find it on Report 2. Is this possible?
Thanks!!

Hi socheathly,
You can have a dummy prompt (something like @prompt A = @prompt A) in Report 2 just to capture the parameter from Report 1. But this is will still lead to refreshing the report 2.
I think the only way to capture a parameter from another report is through a prompt. Correct me if I am wrong.
Cheers!
Aris.

Can we create Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008

Hi,
We want to create a Crystal Report which will export the output as multiple Tab's ( we can use sub reports). Can we create a Multi Tabbed excel Sheet using Crystal Reports 2008 ( not Crystal reports Basic 2008). Please share any information/links on how to do that.
Also if it is not supported please let us know which version supports it.
Thanks,
Vasu

At least one of the 3rd-party Crystal Reports Desktop Scheduling tools listed at: http://www.kenhamady.com/bookmarks.html provides that functionality. It allows you to burst a single report so that each Group at level 1 becomes a separate tab. You can control the tab names (and tab colors) via fields/formulas inside the report.
You can also automate the process of exporting to (and also replacing or appending to) specified tabs inside existing workbooks.

Excel Reporting using Custom Field as parameter from PWA 2013

Hi,
Iam trying to create a report in Excel 2013 ,using ODATA feed. I am connecting to the Project Web App instance and I am able to get datas from various entities like Project ,Resource etc.
Worklocation is a custom attribute belonging to Resource Entity in PWA.If I want to create a report which shows a list of resources in a particular work location by providing work location as parameter/filter , how can I do that ?
I tried creating a pivot table with all required entities but when I am adding Work Location as filter , the drop down does not show all the locations available as Work location in PWA. Instead, it just shows the corresponding worklocation belonging
to the resources avaialble in the data section.
Is there any way to filter say,resources based on all the available worklocations?
Can someone help me please?

Create a password protected excel file

Hi everyone,
I need to create a password-protect excel sheet using plsql.
Please if some one could help me with this ??
Regards,
Riddhisha Khamesra

there is no way directly from PL/SQL to make ExcelStarting with Office 2007, Excel's default file format uses the Open XML standard (ie basically a zip archive of XML and other media files).
You can generate such files with pure PL/SQL, but adding password security is another story...
- Using a protection at the workbook level requires the creation of an encrypted archive.
- Using a protection at the worksheet level is easier because the password itself is embedded (in an encrypted form) into the sheet definition.
Prior to Office 2007, there's the "XML Spreadsheet 2003" format. It opens the way to easy XML generation but it's limited (in particular, no password support, no macro etc.).
