CRXI: Formula To Loop Through Formulas in Group

Post Author: Mile
CA Forum: Formula
I have a hierarchy of groups allowing the drilldown of data. Due to a flaw in database design, there is no real join between two tables and I've improvised as best I can. The problem is that on one of my items, there can be as many as thirteen products attributed to it. This produces thirteen records for the one item, meaning that summing on the amount field will be thirteen times the actual amount. But, as I said, each product may have a different number of products attributed to it, meaning it could be five times the amount, seven times, the amount, etc.
I've been able to make a summary at the item level whereby all I need to do is a formula that divides the sum by the count of products to get the actual value. When I move to the next group level up, I find that it can't mathematically be done to divide the summed amount because one item in the group may have two products (therefore two records) and another ten products.
What I'm wondering is whether there is a way, using a formula, that can loop through all the items in a group and add the summary field.
i.e.
ITEM1 - PROD1 - $5
ITEM1 - PROD2 - $5
ITEM2 - PROD1 - $7
ITEM2 - PROD2 - $7
ITEM2 - PROD3 - $7
ITEM2 - PROD4 - $7
ITEM2 - PROD5 - $7
ITEM1 would summarise to $5, once I've divided it by two. ITEM2 would summarise to $7, once I've divided it by five.
So, ideally, I would loop through a group above the item level, adding the summaries, ending with $12.
Can this be done?

Your difficulty is termed record or row inflation.
If you want a summary at the group level, group by the item field and use a maximum instead of a sum.
maximum({table.value},{table.item})
Then to get a grand total, create a formula such as the following for the gropup footer:
whileprintingrecords;numbervar MyTotal;MyTotal := MyTotal + {table.value}
Now you can display the grand total in a subsequent secion using:
whileprintingrecords;numbervar MyTotal
-k

Formula by Group and based on a condition

Post Author: Ravi
CA Forum: Formula
Hi All,
I need to create a formula by Group and based on a condition. Below the syntax is wrong but this is the calculation that I am after!
Sum({@Test_Dollars}, ) where {Customer Number} = 12
Basically, I need to display/calculate the 2nd column in the sample report/output.
                  All Customers                    Only Customer 12
Company    $500                                  $125
    Zone A $200                                   $50
   Zone B   $300                                   $75
Thanks in advance,
Ravi

I think you should be able to get this from a running total with a formula to only include records where the customer number - 12

Fastest way to loop through a group of strings

I am trying to optimize a small class that loops through an array of strings and compares to see if another string equals one of the values, for example:
String test = "this is test5";
String array[] = {"test1","test2","test3, test4,test5,test6,test7,test8"};
for(int i = 0;i < array.length; i++)
if (test.endsWith(array))
return array[i];
}The array that I am using holds closer to 15 values, but this loop can be hit thousands of times a day. My question is, are there any faster ways to loop through multiple strings than using arrays? How do array lists or maps compare?

public static void main(String... args) {
    String[] arr = {"abc", "sdfasdlfkjasldfjalsdkfj", "234l2kjala34kh", "slkfjal3490u saf",
                    "234lkjasldfhk23k4jhasf", "23l4kjsf", "alsflsdjkf", "aslkdfajsdf3h", "zzzzz",
                    "uhuhuhuhuh", "uhu2huh234234", "n234aoiuf", "234lasdhvoaih3", "zoziucvoiu", "asdflsjfl"};
    long start = System.currentTimeMillis ();
    for (int i = 0; i < 1000000; i++) {
      String str = "qqq";
      for (String str2 : arr) {
        if (str2.endsWith (str)) {
          System.out.println ("match");
    long end = System.currentTimeMillis ();
    System.out.println((end - start) + " millis");
My question is, are there any faster ways to loop through multiple strings than using arrays? How do array lists or maps compare?Before you worry about taking something simple that works and complicating it to make it faster, make sure there's a reason to do so.
If you do in fact need to make it faster, there are several different things you could do, but which one is best depends on a number of factors specific to your particular requirements and use cases.

Looping through the resultset

Hi
I need to loop through the result set how would i do that here is my scenario
in the database i have total 10 columns say an example
a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i,j,k and assume i have 100 rows with allthese values in the database now for these 100 rows i have to calculate the summary of those columns and i have written formula something like this but it was not working it was giving me zero dont know plz advise on this
whileprintingrecords;
numbervar totalsum;
totalsum=totalsum((a-b)/100cdefghi-j-k);
and i want to display this sum in my detail section of report how would i do that
I Appreciate your help.

totalsum := totalsum((a-b)/100cdefghi-j-k);

Question on how to loop through a variable amount of objects

I have a csv file which I am parsing with powershell and it works perfectly. I would like to speed it up. Currently, I call a line that is customized for each groups list of subnets.
I have about 30 groups.
Some groups have one subnet, some have 5 subnets.
I want to set up some sort of loop to parse everything while executing a single Import-CSV. Currently I call Import-CSV once per group. It takes me about 2-4 minutes to parse the entire file depending on the speed of the machine.
The csv file has about 30,000 rows. I am not concerned about running out of resources. This is as much a learning challenge as a desire to make better powershell scripts.
Below is a portion of the one liner that would parse the entire csv file looking only for those items that match, and writing them out to that groups specific csv file.
Example #1
Import-Csv $HostList | Where-Object {$_."IP Address" -Match "^192.1.*" -or $_."IP Address" -Match "^192.2.*" -or $_."IP Address" `-Match "^192.3.*" .....}| do more stuff...
Example #2
Import-Csv $HostList | Where-Object {$_."IP Address" -Match "^192.7.*" ....}| do more stuff...
The example above is just a snippet from code that works perfectly.
The problem I am asking for help with is, when I loop through the items I am matching against (subnets), if one group has 3 items to match against, another has 1, another has 7, how do I set up such a loop?
Am I using some sort of 'while' $_."IP Address" or...?
Do I create a big 30,000 array (Does PS even use arrays?)
I would love to know what this type of looping is called, and what I can read with examples on how to understand approaching this challenge..
Thank you for any help.

The reason for the parsing (I thought I explained it, must have been too vague) is I have about 30 agencies in a csv file.
Each agency can be determined by their subnet(s) and domain(s)
I need to put all lines in the csv relating to each agency in their own separate csv file to distribute to them so I am not sharing agency 'A' info with the other 29 agencies.
I get the regex comment. Thank you. For some reason I am rather hesitant to use PCRE under windows. I'll see how it works.
Your comment on "Reloading a large file repeatedly takes more time", is the exact reason why I asked the question. I want to get away from that.
I appreciate your quick reply, I think your example will work nicely.

Looping through files with Regular expressions ?

Hi,
My Question is:
if i have the following Regular Expression,
String regrex = "tree\\s\\w{1,4}.+\\s=\\s(.*;)";
The file in which i am looking for the string has multiple entries, is it
possible to do another regular expression on the captured group (.*;)
which is in the original Regular expression ?
The text that is captured by the RE is of the type "(1,(2,((3,5),4)));" for
each entry, and different entries in the file have slightly different syntax
is it possible to loop through the file and first of all check for the presence
of the original RE in each entry of the file
and then secondly, check for the presence of another RE on the captured group?
[ e.g. to check for something like, if the captured group has a 1 followed by a 3
followed by a 5 followed by a and so on ].
Thanks Very much for any help, i've been struggling with this for a while!!
Much appreciated
The code that i have so far is as follows:
import java.util.*;
import java.util.regex.*;
import java.io.*;
import java.lang.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class ExpressReg {
public String Edit;
public ExpressReg(String editorEx){
Edit = editorEx; // Edit = JTextArea
String regrex = "tree\\s\\w{1,4}.+\\s=\\s(.*;)";
//String regrex1 = "(.*;)";
Pattern p = Pattern.compile(regrex);
Matcher m = p.matcher(editorEx); // matcher can have more than one argument!
boolean result = m.find();
if(result){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "String Present in Editor");
else if(!result){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "String Not Present In Editor");

if i have the following Regular Expression,
String regrex = "tree\\s\\w{1,4}.+\\s=\\s(.*;)";
The file in which i am looking for the string has multiple entries, is it
possible to do another regular expression on the captured group (.*;)
which is in the original Regular expression ?Yes, the capturing group is $1 (the only one) referenced in source code as m.group(1).
m.group() will return entire matching.
simply use this way:
String result = m.group(1);
// your stuff: could be another validation
The text that is captured by the RE is of the type "(1,(2,((3,5),4)));" for
each entry, and different entries in the file have slightly different syntax
is it possible to loop through the file and first of all check for the presence
of the original RE in each entry of the file
and then secondly, check for the presence of another RE on the captured group?Again "Yes", no limits!
Don't need to create another Matcher, just use m.reset(anotherSourceString)..loop using the same pattern.
Note: Take care with ".*" because regex nature is "greedy", be more specific, eg.: "\\d" just matches digits (0-9).
Can you give us some sample of "slight difference" ?

Looping through 2 Result Sets - Not working-HELP!!

This code loops through my first result set fine.....so I take the first part number from the result set, do a second result set to bring back all part conditions associated with that part number and compare them to see if they are all the same. When it hits the second loop with the second result set, it only loops once. I know this because of my system.out.println only print once.....can someone see where I'm going wrong....thanks in advance....

Loop through all layers and sublayers

is there a way that I can loop through all layers and sublayers looking for a name of a layer? I have one that loops through only top level layers. I am thinking I have to somehow incorperate all pathItems, groupItems and the like to incorperate all types of "layers" there might be, since a group is technically not a layer but a groupItem.
this is what I am doing so far:
for (var i = 0; i < numberOfLayers; i++) {
    var customName = "div structure";
    var myLayer = app.activeDocument.layers[i];
    var myLayer = myLayer.name;
    alert(myLayer);
    //alert (myLayer);
    if (customName == myLayer) {
        alert("layer matches");
    else { break; }
any ideas?

Sorry I don't understand what it is you are trying to achieve… Most collections offer a getByName() method if you know what you are looking for eg…
doc.layers.getByName( 'fluff' );
This should return you the first found or error so you need to try & catch when using this…

Loop through values in rows to find faulty data

Loop through CSV to create XML

Hello all, first and foremost I want to apologize if this has been answered somewhere, but I am looking to do the following:
I have 500 records I need put in XML format. The records are currently in CSV format. I can use curl to upload a record in XML format using our applications API. I was under the impression that I could generate 1 large XML file and upload the entire group.
I have a script that will read in data from a CSV and output it to a file in XML format. I got the script the way I thought I needed it working, which was to create a new xml file, append a line to it, then loop through the csv and echo my string repeatedly inputing the variables from the CSV file. I could then upload the XML file where I needed it.
As it turns out, it seems the API will only allow me to upload 1 record at a time. (ALMOST pointless IMO.) So what I am looking to do is change the way the script loops through the CSV file, and instead of creating 1 large file, I would like the script to loop through the CSV one line at a time, create the XML file of only 1 record, upload it using curl, delete itself (or its contents) and repeat that process throughout the entire CSV file.
I am just getting familiar with loops, so Im not sure how I would even start this process, or even word what I want properly to search google. (Which I have been for the last two days, thats how I frankenstiened what I have below. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
The script is as follows:
#!/bin/bash
echo '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="no"?>' >> xmldata.xml
#:Read variables from XMLInput.csv:#
while read inputline;do
line0="$(echo $inputline | cut -d, -f1)"
line1="$(echo $inputline | cut -d, -f2)"
#:Set auto increment ID:#
idAdd0=$((idAdd0 +1))
#:removes trailing alpha characters leaving only the IP address:#

What I ended up doing was having the script create 500 separate XML files in a folder by adding my auto increment variable to the XML file name,
then curling each file as a separate entry. A litte dirtier than I wanted, but in the end, I didn't have to manually enter 500 subnets
and define there locations in a website. Job Done.

Looping through xml in cfscript

Ok, I can loop through xml to get the value of any tag and
output it to a variable. But the problem for me is getting the
child tags of a specific tag to loop out grouped together. For
instance, below I would want to group the xml like this.
Year: 90
Employer: Bank
Wages: 2000.00
Year: 90
Employer: Gas Station
Wages: 1000.00

It will always be sorted by year and by employer. I was just
trying to get the basic concept of the looping and would figure the
rest out myself. But I would want it to look like this.
Employer: Bank
Year: 90 Wages: 2000.00
Year: 91 Wages: 2500.00
Employer: Gas Station
Year: Wages: 1000.00
Year: Wages: 1500.00
Thanks in advance.

Nested Loops...looping through one month of data at a time year by year

Hi all,
I'm trying to create an insert statement that loops through a table that has 10 years of data (2001 to 2010) month by month to minimize impact on server and commits more frequently to avoid filling up the redo logs and rollback tablespaces. The table is large, has about 40 millions records per year. Lets say the structure of the table is the following:
Customer_ID number(9),
Order_Item_1 number(6),
Order_Item_2 number(6),
Order_Item_3 number(6),
Order_date date
The table is in flat format but I want to normalize it so that it looks like the following:
Customer_ID Order_Seq Order_Item Order_date
999999999 1 555555 01-jan-2001
999999999 2 666666 01-jan-2001
999999999 3 444444 01-jan-2001
888888888 1 555555 03-jan-2001
888888888 2 666666 03-jan-2001
But because I want to loop through month by month....I need to set it up so that it loops through month by month, year by year (Using the Order Date Field) and Order_item by Order_item. Something like:
so my insert statements would be something like if I hardcoded instead of put the insert statement into a loop:
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,1,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_1 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='01';
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,2,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_2 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='01';
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,3,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_3 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='01';
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,1,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_1 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='02';
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,2,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_2 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='02';
insert into orders_normalized
(Customer_id,Order_seq,Order_item,Order_date) select customer_id,3,Order_item,Order_date where Order_item_3 is not null and to_char(order_date,'yyyy') = '2001' and to_char(order_date,'mm')='03';
Hope this makes sense.
Thanks

Does the sequence of items in an order really matter? In other words, do we really need to preserve that an item was in position 2 versus position 1? I bet that the sequence or position of each item in an order is not meaningful. They were probably numbered 1, 2, and 3 just to make them uniquely named columns so there would be three slots to hold up to 3 items in the denormalized table.
You only have about 400 million rows to insert, so it could feasibly be done in a single transaction (depending on your database environment).
You can always do a create table as select (CTAS) to help with undo / redo issues and get better performance. You could run it in parallel, and spit it out to a new table partitioned by month. Single DDL statement running in parallel making your new table--sounds good to me.
How about something like this:
CREATE TABLE ORDERS_NORMALIZED
(CUSTOMER_ID, ORDER_ITEM, ORDER_DATE)
PARTITION BY RANGE(ORDER_DATE)
PARTITION p200901 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('200902','YYYYMM')),
PARTITION p200902 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('200903','YYYYMM')),
PARTITION p201012 VALUES LESS THAN (TO_DATE('201101','YYYYMM'))
as SELECT CUSTOMER_ID, ORDER_ITEM_1, ORDER_DATE
   FROM OTHER_TABLE
   WHERE ORDER_ITEM_1 IS NOT NULL
   UNION ALL
   SELECT CUSTOMER_ID, ORDER_ITEM_2, ORDER_DATE
   FROM OTHER_TABLE
   WHERE ORDER_ITEM_2 IS NOT NULL
   UNION ALL
   SELECT CUSTOMER_ID, ORDER_ITEM_3, ORDER_DATE
   FROM OTHER_TABLE
   WHERE ORDER_ITEM_3 IS NOT NULL.....................
Out of curiosity, why not normalize it further? You could have used two tables instead of one.
One (ORDER) with:
ORDER_ID
CUSTOMER_ID
DATE
Order_id would be a new surrogate key / primary key.
Another table (ORDER_ITEM) with:
ORDER_ID
ORDER_ITEM
It would be a table that links ORDERS to ITEMS. You get the idea.

Text is not being displayed in sync on a label when looping through a list -- how to fix?

I have a list of states (50 states). I loop through this list (in a winform app -- VS2012) and want to display the current state ID that is being processed in the loop in the text property of a label. I precede the label.Text = StateID line with
Application.DoEvents() but I am also (in Debug mode) writing the same text to the console. The console displays correctly, but there appears to be a lag in the label.Text property
List<string> StateList = new List<string> { "al", "ak", "az","ar","ca","co","ct","de","fl","ga",...};
foreach (string stateID in StateList)
Application.DoEvents();
lblStateID.Text = "State is " + stateID; //--there is a lag here
I vaguely recollect something about a NotifyPropertyChanged event. I know this is common in WPF, but is there something similar in winform? Or is there a way to make the desired text to be displayed in the label.Text property in synchronization
with the loop?

Thank you. This is way simpler than implementing the INotifyPropertyChanged Interface. Although, here is an article on the INotifyPropertyChanged Interface and event

Automator - Loop through a text file and process data through a 3rd party software

Just stumbled on Automator the other day (I am a mac n00b) and would like to automate the processing of a text file, line-by-line, using a third party tool. I would like Automator to loop through the text file one line at a time, copy the string and keep as a variable. Next, place the variable data (copied string) into the text field of the 3rd party software for processing. Once the processing is complete, I would like Automator to fetch the next line/string for processing. I see items like "copy from clipboard" and "variables" within the menu but I am not finding much documentation on how to utilizle this tool. Just hear how potentially powerful it is.
The 3rd party software is not a brand name, just something made for me to process text. I may have to use mouse clicks or tabs + [return] to navigate with Automator. A term I heard on Bn Walldie's itunes video series was "scriptable software" for which I don't think this 3rd party app would be.
Kind regards,
jw

Good news and bad news...
The good news is that it should be entirely possible to automate your workflow.
The bad news is that it will be a nightmare to implement via Automator, if it's even possible.
Automator is, essentially a pretty interface on top of AppleScript/Apple Events, and with the pretty interface comes a certain stranglehold on features. Knowing how to boil rice might make you a cook, but understanding flavor profiles and ingredient combinations can make you a chef, and it's the same with AppleScript and Automator. Automator's good at getting you from points A to B but if there are any bumps in the road (e.g. the application you're using isn't scriptable) then it falls apart.
What I'm getting at is that your requirements are pretty simple to implement in AppleScript because you can get 'under the hood' and do exactly what you want, as opposed to Automator's restricted interface.
The tricky part is that if no one else can see this app it's going to be hard to tell you what to do.
I can give you the basics on reading a file and iterating through the lines of text in it, and I can show you how to 'type' text in any given application, but it may be up to you to put the pieces together.
Here's one way of reading a file and working through each line of text:
-- ask the user for a file:
set theFile to (choose file)
-- read the file contents:
set theFileContents to (read file theFile)
-- break out the lines/paragraphs of text:
set theLines to paragraphs of theFileContents
-- now iterate through those lines, one by one:
repeat with eachLine in theLines
-- code to perform for eachLine goes here
end repeat
Once you have a line of text (eachLine in the above example) you can 'type' that into another application via something like:
tell application "AppName" to activate
tell application "System Events"
tell process "AppName"
keystroke eachLine
end tell
end tell
Here the AppleScript is activating the application and using System Events to emulate typing the contents of the eachLine variable into the process. Put this inside your repeat loop and you're almost there.
