Creating Boolean Logic formulas within Cell Editor

Good afternoon,
Does anyone know if boolean logic works within the cell editor? I want to create boolean logic to choose a different help cell based on a condition.

Formula Logic for Dates in the Cell Editor in Query Designer

Hi All
We are on BI7. (This is in the Cell Editor in Query Designer)
I am trying to create a formula in one cell that enters a date based on the following logic (Lets call this formula A):
I also have a placeholder "Cell reference" for a Date in another cell in the Cell Editor (Lets call it B).
I also have two other dates in seperate cells in the Editor (Lets call them C and D)
What i need to do is check that either C or D are not blank i.e one at least has a date and if so enter the date that is in B in A.
My formula logic in (Cell A) at the moment is as follows:
( Cell C <> 0 ) OR ( Cell D <> 0) * Cell B
When I run the query It is coming back with either a 1 or 0 depending if there is a date in C or D.
What I want it to do is to display the actual date of 'Cell B' in 'Cell A' if ( Cell C <> 0 ) OR ( Cell D <> 0)
If the value of B is blank ie no date I also want A to be blank i.e not equal zero or a blank date ie 00/00/0000
Example 1
Cell A    08/09/2009
Cell B    08/09/2009
Cell C   15/03/2010
Cell D
Cell A should = 08/09/2009 as there is a Date in Cell C or D and if so enter the date of Cell B in cell A
Example 2
Cell A
Cell B    08/09/2009
Cell C
Cell D
Cell A should = BLANK as there is a NO Date in Cell C or D
Example 3
Cell A
Cell B
Cell C   15/03/2010
Cell D
Cell A should = BLANK as there is a No Date in Cell B although a Date in cell C or D.
Thank you for assistance in advance
Kind regards

Hi there,
It seems you have done almost everything...
What it seems that is missing is probably the cell reference for Cell C and for Cell D, or did you forget to mention it here?
So here it is the big idea:
- In the Cell Editor of the query designer, create a new cell reference for Cell C, let's name it ref_cell_c;
- In the Cell Editor of the query designer, create a new cell reference for Cell D, let's name it ref_cell_d;
- In the Cell Editor of the query designer, create a new cell reference for Cell B, let's name it ref_cell_b;
- In the Cell Editor of the query designer, create a new formula for Cell A, let's name it form_cell_a;
The form_cell_a should be created by the following:
( COUNT(ref_cell_c) + COUNT(ref_cell_d) ) * ref_cell_b
So COUNT(operand) returns 1 if operand is different of 0 else it returns 0; So if ref_cell_c has any valu or ref_cell_d has any value it should return the value of ref_cell_b.
Please note that with this formula, if you have values in both ref_cell_c and ref_cell_d this formula returns 2 * ref_cell_b, which is not what you pretend, I'm assuming you'll have value only for the following combinations:
ref_cell_c has value but ref_cell_d don't have any
ref_cell_c don't have any value but ref_cell_d has a value
ref_cell_c don't have any value neighther has ref_cell_d any

Create two logical columns with same LTS mapping but diff filter conditions

Hi,
Problem:
How to create two logical columns within same logical table mapped to same physical column but different filter conditions?
I have a scenario where in,
Physical layer columns
     - table1.employee
     - table1.emp_city
I need a columns in logical layer:
Logical layer - lt1.count_emp_delhi (counts distinct employees whose city_name = 'Delhi')
          lt1.count_emp_mumbai(counts distinct employees whose city_name = 'Mumbai')
My approach:
For Delhi column
1. Create a logical column lt1.count_emp_delhi mapped to the physical column table1.employee
2. Aggregate using countdistinct in aggregate tab.
3. Edit the mapping condition
     3.1. Use the where clause and set table1.emp_city='Delhi'.
For Mumbai column.
Followed the same approach as above but in 3.1 if I change the condition to 'Mumbai', even the delhi column is populated with mumbai count which is ERRONEOUS
Could some one please help?

Hi,
1. Create two alias tables for table1 in Physical Layer. Lets say TB_Mumbai and TB_Delhi
2. Create a logical table in BMM layer (D1 Employee Cities )
3. Drag and drop the employee & emp_city columns from both alias tables (TB_Mumbai and TB_Delhi ) into your newly created logical table.
4. Now you can see two Logical Table Sources (TB_Mumbai and TB_Delhi )
5. Now using Where condition, write the condition on each table
NOTE: Don't write any condition on the Physical table Table1.
Hope it helps you.

Impact on Cell Editor

Hi Gurus ,
If i'm using cell editor in my report . What will happen to this cells once i start the navigation or drill down on the same report ?
Please advice
Thank you
BR

The cell definition will work at the lowest level on the screen.e.g. if you have defined any formula in cell editor for char1, the same formula will get applied when you drill down char2. The level of calculation will move to char1 & char2.

Is there a way to create aliases for formulas without using other cells?

I have long formulas in certain cells, that consist of a bunch of smaller formulas that I re-use in multiple cells. Is there a way to create an alias for a formula (or create my own function) that I can then piece together into one big formula? I think I can use another cell to drop the formula in, but that just clutters up the spreadsheet.

David,
it looks like you can't define own formulas or create aliases for formulas.

Create a VC Model for BEx queries with Cell Editor

Hello All,
I am trying to create a VC Model for BEx queries with Cell Editor.
BW Development Team has created a BEX query with complex restrictions and calculations using Cell Editor feature of BI-BEX.
The query output in BEx analyzer is correct where all values are being calculated at each Cell level and being displayed.
But, while creating VC model, system is not displaying the Cells.Thus, no VC Model can be created.
I have executed below steps:
1. Created a VC Model for BEx Query - ZQRY_XYZ
2. Create Iview -> Create a dataService -> Provide a Table from the Output
In the Column field system is not showing any of the Cells (present in Cell Editor)
Please help me to solve this issue.
Thanks,
Siva

Hi
If 'Cell Editor' is been used then that query must have the structure in it. You have to select that 'structure' object in your 'VC Table'.
If you select that then you will get the required result in the output. This structure will be the structure where 'cell reference' is used in BI query, You have to select that structures name.

How to create a context menu in ALV table cell editor(Webdynpro abap )

Hello Experts,
I am having a problem in creating a context menu in a table cell editor in the ALV table output.I have assigned a 'lta' as the cell editor.But befor assigning the lta as cell editor I have assigned the menu to the lta.But when the view is rendered I can see the lta with the actioned assigned to it.But I cannot see the context menu.
The code snippet below:
"Create menu for each coloumn

    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.

Hi Prakash,
I have not come across this requirement till now to have context menu in a cell editor of alv.
Unfortunately the implementation of method SET_MENU of alv ui elements ( ex: cl_salv_wd_uie_text_view ) is not updating alv configurable table, instead it just stores in a global attribute as string. Hence has no effect on context menu.
If your user is very particular about this requirement of having context menu in cell editor, you can go for a normal table. Because, normal table's cell editor has the property to set the menuID as we do it for other ui elements.

Cell Editor for a JTable within A JTable Cell

My individual cells each contain a seperate JTable and I need to write a cell editor for it. I'm not really sure how to write one so if someone show me where I can find some useful examples of such a cell editor I would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your time. :-)

So, you have a big table whose cells each contain a little table. I assume you already have the little tables working correctly with cell editors and so on, and you want to write a cell editor for the big table. Correct?
My problem with this is that I can't imagine how this would actually work in practice. Suppose I click on a cell in the big table; then the cell renderer displays the appropriate little table. At this point should I see one of the cells in that little table selected, and should I be able to use the Tab key to move around the little table? And if so, then I can't use the Tab key to move around the big table. Next, suppose I press F2 indicating that I want to edit the little table. What should change? Should I now be able to tab around the little table, whereas I couldn't before? And if so, how do I indicate that I have stopped editing the little table? Pressing Enter indicates to the little table's cell editor that its editing is finished, but how should I tell the big table's cell editor that its editing is finished?
Perhaps if you can answer this, you may have a better idea of how to solve your problem. Sorry I only have questions and not answers.

Creating a Cell Editor for a JTree

Hi...
I would like to be able to edit the nodes of a JTree dynamically, but I'm not sure how to do it. I have unsuccessfully tried to implement a celleditor by extended the DefaultTreeCellEditor. The editing works fine, but once the cell has been edited, I get a ClassCastException.
I know that I need to get the edited value and then make appropriate changes to the DefaultMutableTreeNode object stored, but I am not sure where to do all this. I would really appreciate some tips on where to get the edited value entered, and how I can access the object being edited. Thanks.

Using a JPanel as cell editor in JTable

I have a composite component (JPanel that contains a JTextField and a
JButton) that I would like to use as the a cell editor in a JTable.The JButton instantiates a UI editor component that I have designed. Example would be date editor for dates, tet editor for strings etc. This editor allows the user to select a date to populate the JTextField (the date may also be manually entered).
I have no problem with the rendering of the component within the table.However, I would like for the JTextField embedded within the JPanel to receive focus and a visible caret, when using the tab key to navigate to the cell. After reading through some of the posts here , I was able to transfer the focus. But I dont see a visible caret. I am unable to edit. I have to click on the text box and then start typing. Its a great pain in the ass.
I have a custom designed table and custom designed editor. Code is attached...
<pre>
protected boolean processKeyBinding(KeyStroke ks, KeyEvent e,int condition, boolean pressed) {
final int selRow = getSelectedRow();
final int rowCount = getRowCount();
final int selCol = getSelectedColumn();
final EventObject obj = (EventObject) e;
if (selRow == -1) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
changeSelection(0, 1, false, false);
editCellAt(0, 1, obj);
boolean isSelected = false;
if ((ks == KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_TAB,0)) ||
(ks == KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(KeyEvent.VK_ENTER,0))) {
if (selCol == 1) {
isSelected= getCellEditor(selRow,selCol).stopCellEditing();
targetRow = (selRow + 1) % rowCount;
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
if (editCellAt(targetRow, 1, obj)) {
changeSelection(targetRow, 1, false, false);
getComponentAt(targetRow, 1).requestFocus();
} else {
getCellEditor(selRow, selCol).shouldSelectCell(obj);
return super.processKeyBinding(ks,e,condition,pressed);
</pre>
Relevant code of my custom editor is below....
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,
Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
lastEditedRow = row;
lastEditedCol = column;
lastEditedTable = table;
lastEditedValue = value;
val = value;
((JTextField)editorComponent).
setText(val == null ? "" : val.toString());
setClickCountToStart(1);
if (value instanceof CycCollectionChooserModel) {
String collection = ((CycCollectionChooserModel)value).
getCollection().cyclify();
button.setVisible(EditorForCollectionMap.hasUIEditor(collection));
button.setMargin (new Insets (1,1,1,1));
button.setIconTextGap(0);
buttonListener.model = (CycCollectionChooserModel)value;
buttonListener.rowIndex = row;
buttonListener.localTable = table;
return panel;
public boolean isCellEditable(EventObject evt) {
if (evt instanceof MouseEvent) {
int clickCount;
clickCount = 1;
return ((MouseEvent)evt).getClickCount() >= clickCount;
return super.isCellEditable(evt);
public boolean stopCellEditing() {
if (super.stopCellEditing()) {
final int targetRow = (lastEditedRow+1)%lastEditedTable.getRowCount();
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
lastEditedTable.changeSelection(targetRow, 1, false, false);
lastEditedTable.getComponentAt(targetRow, 1).requestFocus();
return true;
return false;
Does any one know why I am not able to see the caret? Any insights you have will be most welcome.
Thanks in advance,
Praveen.

Table Cell Editor (Urgent)

I would like to know if it is possible to set different cell editor for each cells within the same column.
I want to have Combo boxes with different items for several cells within the same column.
Plz tell me how to do so if this is possible
Thanks,
MetaLik

You could create you own custom editor.
class MultiCellEditor extends JComponent {
JComponent currentComp;
JTextField f = new JTextField();
JComboBox c = new JComboBox();
public void setComponent(JComponent comp) {
public JComponent getComponent() {
public Object getCellEditorValue() {
if( currentComp instanceof JTextField ) {
return ((JTextField)currentComp).getText();
}else if( currentComp instanceof JComboBox ) {
return ((JComboBox)currentComp).getSelectedItem();
return null;
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected,
int row, int column) {
if (row == 1 && col==2) {
setCurrentComponent(textField);
} else if(....) {
return currentComponent;
So what your editor does is gives the current component based on row and column and will have to populate the items correspondingly.

Custom JTable cell editors and persistence

I have a JTable with an underlying data model (an extension of AbstractTableModel) that uses custom cell editors in the last column. The cell editor in that column, for a given row, depends on the value selected in another column of the same row. The cell editors include text, date, list, and tree editors (the last one in a separate dialogue). The number of rows is changeable.
I have need to persist the data for a populated table from time to time, for restoration later on. I've achieved that, such that the data model is recreated, the table appears correct, and the appropriate cell editors activated (by creating new instances of the editors' classes).
However, my problem is that the (custom) cell editors do not reflect the data in the model when editing mode is begun the first time after restoration. Eg. the text editor is always empty, the list editor shows the first item, and no node is selected in the tree editor.
If I've restored the model correctly, should the editors properly reflect the underlying data when they are set to editing mode?
I suspected not, and thus tried to explicitly 'set' the correct values immediately after each editor is recreated ... but to no avail.
Does anyone have any thoughts, or experience with something similar? I'm happy to supply code.

You can use html tags within Swing, so I think you can do the following:

        setOpaque(true);
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean cellHasFocus, int row, int column)
        if (isSelected)
            setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
            setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());
        else
            setBackground(table.getBackground());
            setForeground(table.getForeground());
        if (value instanceof String)
            if ((value != null) && (value.toString().length() > 0))
                System.out.println("Value: " + value.toString());
                setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", 0, 11));
                setText("<html>" + value.toString().replaceAll("\n", "<br>") + "</html>");
        return this;
}In the class that has the JTable, use the code AFTER declaring the values, columns, etc:
jTable1.getColumnModel().getColumn(0).setCellRenderer(new MyRenderer());
jTable1.setValueAt("Riz\nJavaid", 0, 0);One thing I haven't done is to resize the cell heights, make sure this is done.
Hope this helps

Problem sorting JTable with custom cell editor

Greetings,
I have created a JTable with a JComboBox as the cell editor for the first column. However, I couldn't simply set the default cell editor for the column to be a JComboBox, since the values within the list were different for each row. So instead, I implemented a custom cell editor that is basically just a hashtable of cell editors that allows you to have a different editor for each row in the table (based on the ideas in the EachRowEditor I've seen in some FAQs - see the code below). I also used a custom table model that is essentially like the JDBCAdapter in the Java examples that populates the table with a query to a database.
The problem comes when I try to sort the table using the TableSorter and TableMap classes recommended in the Java Tutorials on JTables. All of the static (uneditable) columns in the JTable sort fine, but the custom cell editor column doesn't sort at all. I think that the problem is that the hashtable storing the cell editors never gets re-ordered, but I can't see a simple way to do that (how to know the old row index verses the new row index after a sort). I think that I could implement this manually, if I knew the old/new indexes...
Here's the code I use to create the JTable:
// Create the Table Model
modelCRM = new ContactTableModel();
// Create the Table Sorter
sorterCRM = new TableSorter(modelCRM);
// Create the table
tblCRM = new JTable(sorterCRM);
// Add the event listener for the sorter
sorterCRM.addMouseListenerToHeaderInTable(tblCRM);
Then, I populate the column for the custom cell editor like this:
// Add the combo box for editing company
TableColumn matchColumn = getTable().getColumn("Match");
RowCellEditor rowEditor = new RowCellEditor();
// loop through and build the combobox for each row
for (int i = 0; i < getTable().getRowCount(); i++) {
JComboBox cb = new JComboBox();
cb.addItem("New");
//... code to populate the combo box (removed for clarity)
rowEditor.add(i,new DefaultCellEditor(cb, i))); //TF
} // end for
matchColumn.setCellEditor(rowEditor);
Any ideas how to do this, or is there a better way to either sort the JTable or use a combobox with different values for each row? Please let me know if more code would help make this clearer...
Thanks,
Ted

-------------------

Well, I found a solution in another post
(see http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=175984&message=953833#955064 for more details).
Basically, I use the table sorter to translate the row index for the hashtable of my custom cell editors. I did this by adding this method to the sorter:
// This method is used to get the correct row for the custom cell
// editor (after the table has been sorted)
public int translateRow(int sortedRowIndex)
checkModel();
return indexes[sortedRowIndex];
} // end translateRow()
Then, when I create the custom cell editor, I pass in a reference to the sorter so that when the getTableCellEditorComponent() method is called I can translate the row to the newly sorted row before returning the editor from the hashtable.
