Creating a form with Running Averages

Hi
I am creating a Blood Glucose Monthly Form. It is organized by week with an average at the end of each week for the various times of day I test my sugar. Those results then contribute to averaging the weekly numbers for a monthly number. I have a similar form I am developing for Blood Pressure.
My question is that since this a monthly form destined to be a template how do I get around the error messages that appear when there are blanks as I have not yet reached that day/ date. Can someone help with a formula that will work?
Thank you
Herbert

Herbert,
There is a function named "IFERROR" that will trap an error condition, prevent the alert and substitute a display/calculation that you choose. The syntax is: =IFERROR(original-expression, what-to-do-upon-error).
Often it is sufficient to display a null string on error: IFERROR(original-expression, "").

I created a form with Single Choice fields, 4 days with times listed. But, I want the user to only be able to choose one time, and the time chosen to be unavailable for other users. How do I do this? I have 4 blocks of Single Choice fields in order for the summary page to give me each day in the final report. But, I need the user to be able to make a selection of any day and time and that apointment to no longer be available to future users when they log in. Plus, when the user clicks on the time, they are unable to change their mind and choose another time.

I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line?

Is it possible to create a form with multiple form fields on a single line? I can't find anything in the documentation or a template that does this.
I am trying to create a "documents received" checklist with a check box on the left margin, a date-received field to the right of the check box and and a description of the document (Formatted Text) on the far right.
In the past I have entered the Fixed Text with a word processor, published it to a PDF file, then added the check box and date fields with the Acrobat Forms editor. I would prefer to use FormsCentral if it is possible.

We now support multiple fields on one line. This post provides a brief overview.
Give it a try and send us your feedback.
Sorry it took so long.

Creating a Form with Report based on View

Hi All,
I wanted to create a form with report based on two tables so:
1. I created a view (called COMBO) based on two tables
2. I then created a form with report based on the view
Everything seemed fine thus far until I tried to edit existing records - I got the error:
ORA-20505: Error in DML: p_rowid=2002082600001172, p_alt_rowid=REPATRIATION_ID, p_rowid2=, p_alt_rowid2=. ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Unable to process row of table COMBO.NB: REPATRIATION_ID is the primary key of the Repatriation table. The other table is Applicant.
& when I tried to create a new record - I got the error:
ORA-01776: cannot modify more than one base table through a join view
Unable to process row of table COMBO.Someone please enlighten me!
Kind Regards
Kamo

Hello Kamo,
You need to create an 'instead of' (update/insert/delete) trigger on your view to process the inserts etc into the 'real' tables.

Troubles creating a form with Acrobat

I have created a form with Acrobat 9 Pro. However, when it is brought up with Acrobat Reader, the following message appears:
Sending data files by email: Please note, this form contains an email submit button. Clicking this button will email a data file... However, the form itself will not be sent. Remember you cannot save a complete file of this form with Adobe Reader 9.
When the submit button is clicked, the following message is posted on a popup window.
Operation not permitted.
Here's the link to a form I am trying to get to work. It works fine if I use the Pro version, but the Reader version doesn't want to allow the form to be sent. http://www.drugfreedekalbcounty.info/pdf/interventionscholarshipform.pdf
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

It may have been improved with AA9, but at least up through AA8, Acrobat required the use of MAPI on the machine to deal with e-mail. If that has changed, then the other recommendation to use extended rights might meet your need. There is a 500 use limitation for the extended rights (more requires negotiation with Adobe). This may be a limitation that changed with AA9 Pro Extended.
The rights are not needed if the data file is sent and not the whole PDF. There is no need for the whole PDF since the data file can be opened in the original form document - giving the same result. Your observation that it works in AA9 for e-mail is making the assumption that everyone uses AA9. That is a dangerous assumption if you are developing a general use form. You should assume folks have back to AA7, or even AA5 (like I have on this machine). There are still a few that check in here on occasions with AA4. I have not seen an AA3 question for several years. Thus backward compatibility may be an issue, depending on your client base.
The cleanest way to work with forms is to submit to a web script. Then there is no question about the end result. The use of web scripts is even recommended for online html forms for much the same reasons. I was giving a heads up so that you have considered possible users that do not have the newest and best, assuming that the latter resolves the e-mail issue.

How to create a form with two column headings

I have a business request to create a data form to handle multi year data by month. This will require creating a form with two column headings - with the first row be Year and second row be month, and data entry will begin in the third row and down.
I can do multiple row headings in the layout design, but somehow can not get it to work for multiple column headings.
Thanks in advance

If you're in the "Layout" tab, simply pull the "Years" dimension and the "Period" dimension into the Column section. Planning can be a little picky about where you "drop" the dimension as you're dragging and dropping it. Drop it in the cell directly under the letter name of the column. Other than that, there's not much to it.
Hopefully this helped,

How to create a form with DW CS3?

Hi all,
I want to create a form to gather email, address information on a website. Question, can I do that using
DW CS3? and what else do I need in order to do that? I know there is more to it than just creating a form
with fields, that there is programing behind it. I use 1 and 1.com for my hosting.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You'll need a form to email processing script. Ask your host if they provide one you can use. If not and your server supports PHP, I highly recommend this one from DB Masters. It is safe, secure and with good spam prevention built in.

I'VE CREATED A FORM WITH IMAGES. WHEN I OPEN THE FILE IN ACROBAT READER, THE IMAGES ARE BALCK BOXES!

I'VE CREATED A FORM WITH IMAGES. WHEN I OPEN THE FILE IN ACROBAT READER THE IMAGES ARE BLACK BOXES.
THE FORM HAs (extend features to acrobat reader). THE FORM WAS DISTRIBUTED.
NON OF MY EMPOYEES CAN SEE THE IMAGES. WHAT'S WRONG? CAN YOU HELP?

However, the view large images is an issue for a form that is being distributed. Either a note needs to be added to the PDF to tell how to enable the view or the images need to be changed so that the enabling is not needed.

I want to create a form with a manager completing one section and a staff member another. Neither should be able to edit the others. Can different sections be password protected by different passwords? I'm thinking there might be an "official use only" function.

Creating a form with a skip pattern (skip logic)

Hello - Using LifeCycle Designer 7.0
I am creating a form with a simple: Yes/No radio button for one field(quesiton). I would like to have the form skip to a later field(question) if they answer 'No'. Can this be coded somehow in FormCalc?
Is there a way to easily put skip logic (not tab) in a form (Survey).
Thanks for your time/help.

You can use the setFocus methos to move the cursor to the field that you want..
Place it in the click event of the radiobutton.
In FormCalc:
if(radioButton1.rawValue == 1) then
$host.setFocus("<FIELDNAME>");
endif
In Java Script:
if(radioButton1.rawValue == 1)
xfa.host.setFocus("<FIELDNAME>");
Thanks

Hi
Is there any method for having text fields align the inputted text to the centre?

Creating fillable forms with Live Cycle that can be emailed, saved, printed, etc. by anyone!

So I started using livecycle because the forms one can make are astounding, its a great program except for sending the forms out to be filled in especially to those only with reader. I've looked over a lot of past discussions and the answers seemed too complicated. Here is a workaround for not so computer savy folks like myself.
First, create your form, use everything the software has to offer to make your form exactly like you want and yes you can use the "submit by email button" that's what it's for.
Second, once the form is complete one seemingly complicated step to fix the "attach as pdf instead of xml" if your form keeps attaching as "xml" if it already attaches as "pdf" then skip the rest of the "second step"
     go to the top and click the "view" menu, then select "xml source"
     then go back to top and click the "edit" menu then select "find"
     type "xml" without the quotations and keep clicking "find next" until you see the "submit" line (eg. <submit format="xml")
     change the "xml" to "pdf"then go back to the "design view column" if you get a "parts of this or that cannot be whatever" message just click ok or ignore
Third, assumming you used the "submit by email" button like you should be the find that button and click the center somewhere, too the right a "field" box comes up
     enter your own email address, you can enter an stock email subject to or leave it blank
     also, a bit further down it says "presence" then "visible" I like to change "visible" to "visible (screen only)" this way it does not show on the printed version. That is one of the things i like the most about this program, you can put text boxes, signature boxes, any kind of
          box and make it visible, visible only on print, only on screen, etc. you just have to play around. It's nice to put a large text box with instructions for how the person should fill out and what to do that helps them and doesn't show up on print.
Ok, the above is a lot of words but if you print it out and follow step by step you'll see how easy it is and after a couple runs you won't have to look at your cheat sheet again.
Fourth, So, it was easy to figure out how to make a form the frustrating part was sending it out to be filled in save, printed whatever then sent back to me (now you). the problem is, the form has to be distributed to be approved so to speak. If it is just for one person that is no big
     deal, just first click "file" "save as" give it a name it reverts into adobe pro and asks how you would like to distribute, follow the instructions you send it to whomever you like they fill it out and submit it back because your email address is linked to the "submit as
     email" button. But what if its just a form you want on the company share drive anyone can open fill out, save, send to you or send to someone else, that's where it's tricky.
Fifth, Distributing to yourself so you can approve the form for world wide dissemination.
     Same procedure as above for the single recipient but instead of sending to someone else you send it back to yourself by entering your own email address again when it asks "how would you like to distribute your form--same as above"
     click "send now via email" enter your address they will return it to (but it's not they this time its really yourself)...follow the instructions, specifiy a generic folder that will collect data (you can delete later, you don't have to collect data unless you want)
     put in your email address as the recipient. change the stock email subject and message if you'd like, then click done, it will email you the form. close out the live cycle and adobe programs and go to your inbox (may take a min)
Sixth, open your attachment.(no remember you submitted the form to yourself but think of yourself as someone else like a customer) when the form is open you can enter stock fields if you like or do nothing...click the submit by email button, follow the instructions and s
     send it back to yourself again (don't get confused...it's really you as the customer sending back to yourself as the owner of the form) if you are a criminal think of it as like "laundering money through a bank" you are laundering the form through your own email system
     close out the form and go to your inbox again an open the returned form. now when you open it there is something new. there is a box that says "this file is a completed form (even though you didn't enter any data---it's a laundered form now) and leave it on the
     "add to existing data set" which is the one you created earlier in the generic folder....click "ok", now the form changes once again, there is a new look to the top, don't worry about it just go to the top right of the form and click on "options" then "save file as" give it
     a name again and remember where you saved it to. then close adobe and say yes when it asks you if "you want to save changes to your data set"....say yes!!
7th, forget the data set, no longer is important...find the form you saved and open it. go to the top and click the "advanced" button then "enable user rights in adobe reader" then click "save now" this is the final form so name it appropriately and place it where you want
     people to find it, they can now open, fill out, print, save as, email, whatever. The only downside is if they use the submit by email it automatically defaults to your email but when their email client opens they can delete your address and put someone else if they want.
thats it...lots of words but it really is easy after you do it a couple of time. the final downside, if the final form works but you decide to change anything on it with LiveCycle, you have to go back through all the steps or it will tell whoever opens it in reader that the original
     has change and they cannot do anything with it, but it's ok, make your changes or improvement, by now you are an expert at laundering live cycle forms, take you 5 min, no worries!
Happy Laundering!!

Creating a form with radio buttons that users can fill, save, and e-mail back

Hi all,
I am new here, so please forgive me if this answer has already been answered. I have been looking around and still have not been able to find an answer.
I have created a pdf in InDesign and opened it in Acrobat to create a form out of that existing PDF. The form needs to contain radio buttons and text fields. When I save it to test it out on Adobe Reader (for the typical user), it says that I am only allowed to save it in its original form (without any of the changes) thereby making this form useless (I do not want users to print it out; I'd like them to email the entire PDF back to me).
I've looked online and found some answers saying that I would just need to enable commenting, but when I tried that, I could no longer select any of the radio buttons in Adobe Reader.
Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.
I'm on a Mac using Adobe Acrobat 7 Professional.

You won't see that in 7. It didn't exist until Acrobat 8. Though It would work with PDF's opened by Reader 7.
The only choice you have is connacting someone at Adob coporate and finding out how to sign up to a Service they have that will llow you to do that.
Caution: its very, very expensive and unless your fortune 1000 company you can't afford it.
OR you could upgrade to Acrobat 10 (if you have a Machine capable of running it - Intel Only) or Acrobat 9 (PPC and INTEL).
Note the feature they speak of only allows for 500 instances of any one PDF set up to do so.

Help with Running Averages and Graphs on Ipad3

I am new to Mac, slowly learning but quickly falling in love with it.
I need to keep track of our basketball teams free throw percentages for 5 team and for each kid. The coaches are asking for, made shots, missed shots, total attempts and their percentages and then an running average of their percentages.
I created a spreadsheet for each team and seperate tabs for each kid (attached image) in Numbers on the ipad which will allow me to add their made and missed shots (=sumB2+C2). It then gives me the total of attempts and then gives me that percentage (=B2/D2) all good here.
This is now what I am trying to see if I can do, I want to be able to just fill in the blank fields day to day or as they shoot and then have it just update the running average on the bottom without me having to adjust the cells to re-calculate.
If I select cells E2 to E25 the error comes up Cell "E4" contains an error. I know it is cause no figures are entered in the row yet. Is there away around doing the percentage formula so it just shows blank in the row without the error show it will do the running total or a way to have it calculate the running total even with the error?
Can I take the overall averages from each kids sheet and creat a graph on a seperate sheet just showing the overall averages?
If so, will the graph automatically update as I update my numbers or will it have to be created again each time?
Thanks for all the help.

1) Welcome
2) Empty cells return 0 (zero)
3) anything divided by zero is infinite (and not legal, mathematically speaking)
so you should wrap your formula in an iferror() function to screen errors out. For the "Percentage" column you should do something like:
E2=iferror(B2/D2, "")
As long as B2/D2 is a valid result the iferror() passes the answer. If, however, D2 = 0, then iferror() will "catch" the error and return "" this is an empty string.
Charts do automatically update in Numbers. I don't actuall have Numbers for an iOS device (you posted to the forum dedicated to Numbers on Mac OS X).
