Deleting Rather Than Zero'ing Out Cells In Planning

Hello All,
Forms issue in Planning 11.1.2... I'd have thought this would be a common question, but can't find it addressed anywhere..
If you delete a number from a form rather than setting it to zero, the value remains in ESSBASE and stays in totals. The only safe way to delete a value is to change it to zero. Is there any way to workaround this through validation rules, or some other approach I'm not aware of?
Thanks!
WS

Hi,
To change the Totals, you have to consolidate it launching a calculation script or a business rule. To make sure that total change if its child only contain #Missing value you have to add the following command into your consolidation script:
SET AGGMISSG ON;
Remark: This parameter can also be changed directly into Essbase database properties.

System.log- logs deleted rather than rotated

Just recently, I noticed that the system.logs are being deleted, rather than being rotated on my G4. This isn't the case on my Macbook, though I don't see any difference in the periodic/daily scripts between the two. Is there somewhere else that I should be looking for changes?

I believe the log rotation is ultimately handled by newsyslog, so you could look at /etc/newsyslog.conf to see if there is some difference there. You could also read the manual page for that process to see if the behavior you're seeing isn't expected in certain circumstances. From the command line (via Terminal) you can read this manual by typing "man newsyslog" at the prompt. There is also a manual page describing its configuration file, available by typing "man newsyslog.conf".

My BT keyboard delete button now forward deletes rather than backspacing like it used to do. This happened after I got my iMac back from the hard drive replacement program. Any ideas how to return the keyboard to the default backspace?

The good news after my hard drive was replaced during Apple's Seagate replacement program -- all my data and settings reinstalled seamlessly through Time Machine and my external hard drive. Bad news? My BT keyboard will now only forward delete when I hit the delete key rather than backward delete. I find this so ironic since I hated this feature when I switched from PC to Mac, but now I'm totally used to it. I tried resetting the default under system preferences, but it didn't help. Otherwise, keyboard works perfectly. This is so strange. Anyone have any suggestions? Oh -- and now I see my arrows don't work either.

TSQL code that causes table data to be deleted rather than fail with a compilation error

Afternoon,
I recently did this by accident and it felt as though it should have failed with a compilation error rather than run
A query of the form
delete from jobs
where id in
select id from calibrations
will delete all rows in the jobs table when the id column exists in the jobs table, but not the calibrations table. This should fail with a compilation error.
the following sql can be used to generate a test database to show the problem
USE [test]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[calibrations]    Script Date: 28/11/2014 13:32:59 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[calibrations](
   [JobId] [int] NULL,
   [textfield] [nvarchar](50) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
/****** Object: Table [dbo].[jobs]    Script Date: 28/11/2014 13:32:59 ******/
SET ANSI_NULLS ON
GO
SET QUOTED_IDENTIFIER ON
GO
CREATE TABLE [dbo].[jobs](
   [Id] [int] NOT NULL,
   [Name] [nchar](10) NULL
) ON [PRIMARY]
GO
INSERT [dbo].[calibrations] ([JobId], [textfield]) VALUES (1, N'something')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[jobs] ([Id], [Name]) VALUES (1, N'a         ')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[jobs] ([Id], [Name]) VALUES (2, N'b         ')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[jobs] ([Id], [Name]) VALUES (3, N'c         ')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[jobs] ([Id], [Name]) VALUES (4, N'd         ')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[jobs] ([Id], [Name]) VALUES (5, N'e         ')
GO
INSERT [dbo].[jobs] ([Id], [Name]) VALUES (6, N'f         ')
GO

will delete all rows in the jobs table when the id column exists in the jobs table,
but not the calibrations table. This should fail with a compilation error.
Hello Simon,
That's a bug in your T-SQL Statement, not in SQL Server. The Statement as it is valid and column "id" exists, so why should it fail on compilation?
And that is the reason why we always should use full qualified object name, e.g. like
delete from jobs AS J
where J.id in
select SUB.id from calibrations AS SUB
and this Statement should fail on compilation.

How do I "Select All" email messages at once for deletion rather than touching each one?

I receive many emails each day and many of them I would like to delete all at once. But the only way so far I have been able to figure out how to do that is to manually select each and every one of the emails I want to delete then hit delete.
That is fine when I only have 5 or 6 email to get rid of, but I regularly have anywhere from 50 to 200 at a time to delete.
I cannot locate a "Select All" option in any of the menus.
Any Ideas?
Thanks
Jerry

from within the inbox, sent, trash:
menu/select, menu/select all, delete.

Is it possible to show a product as 'sold out' on my site, rather than hiding when out of stock?

Hello,
I am hoping to find a way to show a product as being 'sold out' on my site-- as I have it set up now, the product will be hidden when the inventory gets to zero. Or, I can leave it unhidden, but then there's no indication that the product is sold within the catalog or in the product listing. Is there a way that I can have something that says 'SOLD OUT' show up instead, both in the catalog and in the individual product listing?
Thanks for your help!
best,
jessica

Hi Mario
Thank you for responding to my post - I have changed the code to the following but 'targeting a class' is new to me and struggling to find a good tutorial on how to achieve this (that I can understand, I can do basic CSS but this is new to me) I am sure it is obvious to you what I am doing wrong but I can't see the wood for the trees any advice would be really appreciated - thank you
I have changed the code to below: but still not achieving 'SOLD' when the product is out of stock

Magsafe: 2 Recessed Gold Sticks Rather Than 4?

About a week ago my Macbook lost the ability to charge while being connected.
I checked my Magsafe adapted and noticed that where it connects to the Macbook, on the Magsafe there are 4 thick gold "sticks" (for lack of a better term) with an extra thin gold one in the middle as well.
Well, I've just noticed that 2 of those gold sticks are now reccessed rather than all four on the same plane.
I'm curious as to if this is indeed the problem that is causing the lack of charge for my macbook, or if all magsafe adapters have 2 lower golden sticks and 2 at a higher level.
I hope this isn't confusing; I await any help. Thanks.

*"if all magsafe adapters have 2 lower golden sticks and 2 at a higher level. "*
All 3 of my magsafe adapters are that way. It's normal.

How to print Cell Formula rather than its Result?

Hi,
I work with data that includes lots of multiple fractions, and print reports showing results of various calculations based on the fractions. The fractions themselves can be important, so I need to be able to display them when used in a formula.
For example, in one cell (cell A1) I need to enter "1/3 * 13/21"; I need to display this formula when I print. Cell A2 would contain a specific number, like "141.5". Cell A3 needs to calculate A1 * A2.
In order to provide a number that A3 can use, I need to enter "=1/3 * 13/21", but when printing this displays "206349". I can format A1 as text, but then A3 won't calculate it. I tried using "Value(A1)*Value(A2)" in A3, but it looks like Value will only accept a decimal number.
So, is there any way to format some cells in a sheet (but not all cells) to display the cell contents rather than the result? Or a way to enter a fraction as text and have another cell evaluate the fraction or formula?
Thanks for any help or advice.
Tom

Yvan,
Merci for the reply.
Unfortunately, that option does not work for my purposes. Below is a row that Numbers will allow me to print.
0.07968198 | 1/6 | 23.58333 | 0.01463667 | 0.03333333 | 141.500
Next is the row as I desire to print it (but have not figured out how to print):
1/5 - (80/141.5 * 1/5) - (5.125/141.5 * 1/5) | 1/6 | 23.58333 | 0.01463667 | 0.03333333 | 141.500
Next is the row as it appears if I follow your suggestion:
=1/5 - (80/141.5 * 1/5) - (5.125/141.5 * 1/5) | =1/6 | =ROUND(D41*H41,5) | =ROUND(G41*H41/322.25,8) | =ROUND(C41*D41,8) | 141.5
So in other words, I only want the first cell in the row to print as text. My clients need to see the equation in the first cell, not its calculated result. But for each following cell, they need to see the result; if I print the functions and cell references, as in the 3rd example, my report won't make any sense at all to my clients.
Quattro Pro on Windows allowed me to do this easily. I switched to Mac and Excel 2008, and found a difficult workaround solution to accomplish this; but Excel is a dog of a program, with many bugs still. I'd much prefer to work with Numbers, but unless I can do something about the printing issue, I'll have to stick with Excel, or run Quattro under VMWare Fusion.
Thanks a lot,
Tom

My entire iTunes library has been duplicated. How can I delete all duplicates at once rather than each one individually?

My entire iTunes library has been duplicated. Is there any command that will let me delete all duplicates at once, rather than each individual song?

In particular:
Once you have used the Show Exact Duplicates feature* you can set about deleting all but one copy of each duplicate file. If all the duplicates have recently been added into your library then you could sort the list on the date added column, select a range of tracks with SHIFT-click and delete all the recent entries.
* On a Mac hold down Option, then click File > Show Exact Duplicates.
You could also check out Doug's Scripts for useful tools.

Is there anyway to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting?

Our environment has thousands of old queries and workbooks. We plan to delete any object that has not been used within 13 months, but there's a concern we may someday need a few of the reports that will be deleted.
Is there a way to archive old queries and workbooks rather than deleting them?
Is there another approach to solving this matter?
Thanks!

This is really a intersting question as this is a reality as many BW reports are not used/accessed by users but still they have tendancies of sitting on these reports.
I wanted to suggest to carry-out report usabilty analys. This analysis u can carry out by using BW statistics/standerd queries/new queries in technical cubes showing usability data. If u found that a perticalar BW report is not been used for long time, u can discuss the usability of this report with the report user ( as it is a normal practice of owning BW report by user/user group across industry ), if user is no longer uses it Or do not need it any more, it will be better to delete those reports, this will free up some resources and will reduce the junk. ( if user wants these queries ask him to use it or it will better to personalise report in his desktop easing him to see those reports. )
Changing the technical names of the query as suggested by Bhanu will have follwing effects.
1. It will add more reports in repository leading to junk
2. Old queries still be assigned to user roles, so collide with user authorisation.
hope views are clear, others are welcome to add or share their experince in this regard.
kindly assign the points if it helps.

On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account?

I'm signed up to the Cloud and itunes match - the whole game. But I cam getting annoyed with having to delete songs one by one on my iPhone once dowloaded from the cloud as I only have a 16GB phone....yes I listen to music non-stop! So, I am thinking about getting an iPAD as I rarely use my MacBook Pro for anything other than surfing and music now... so the question is: "On an iPad with iTunes, do you know if you can edit/delete all your tunes on your device with a "clear all" button rather than having to delete a song one by one like you have to do on an iPhone (if not synching via a MacBook/ PC with iTunes account where I know you can clear down and refill with ease)????

Have you tried

Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than OUT?

Is there any Vga adaptor for the Ipad 2 that is VIDEO IN rather than VIDEO OUT? is for a student with visual impairment who needs to view the classroom digital board content from a very short distance, like the distance to an Ipad for example, so the Ipad would be ideal as an interactive monitor with typography and content easy to amplify.
At the moment, this student has a traditional flat screen monitor taking over the table next to him, so no other child can seat in it, and he has no opportunity to befriend and sporadically joke with anybody else. So much for "inclusion".
Please do let me know: [email protected]

Speaking as a teacher ... Why can't he have a student on the other side of him?
