Distribute column

Hi,
Anyone having script for the below requirement:
For all tables, from second column onwards distribute the column width into "6p" (first column width variable). and also tables need to be fit (100%) with in the text margin.
Regards,
Velu

Try now, it will run on all the tables.
var doc = app.activeDocument,
    _tables = doc.stories.everyItem().tables.everyItem().getElements(),
    w = doc.documentPreferences.pageWidth;
doc.viewPreferences.horizontalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.picas;
doc.viewPreferences.verticalMeasurementUnits = MeasurementUnits.picas;
for(var i =0;i<_tables.length;i++)
        for(var j =_tables[i].columns.length-1;j>0;j--)
                _tables[i].columns[j].width = "6P";
        var _left = _tables[i].parent.parentPage.marginPreferences.left,
            _right = _tables[i].parent.parentPage.marginPreferences.right;
        try
                _tables[i].columns[0].width = (w - (_left + _right)) - (_tables[i].columns.length-1)*6 ;
        catch(e)
                alert("Table width exeeds the length of the text area!")

Table Issue: Cannot Distribute Columns Evenly

I have a 3x3 matrix that does not Distribute Columns Evenly when the action is performed. It spaces the columns asymmetrically causing the content to fall off the page. I checked and rechecked all of my formating (tabs, alignment, etc...) and settings. Any suggestions?

My question is whether this option is perhaps a configuration issue, a bug, or something that I'm missing. Since you already figured out that you can use an alias one can suppose that it is the last in that you are missing that you already have a solution.
You can try extracting the meta data to see if it has a name without the alias. Probably not.
Also, I would like to know if anybody has an elegant workaround without accessing columns using their numeric index.One can only suppose that you consider using names "elegant".

Wrong values in distributed column in CJ40

Hi experts,
I am carrying out cost element planning in CJ40 against one child level wbs (level-2)and
also the cost is flowing from cProject to another child level wbs(level-2).
But after saving the costing data distributed amount at the parenet level WBS should be sum of two individual WBS element cost.
But here in my case , system is showing the cost element data in distributed column and not considering the cost whic flows to costing column and this amount is shown in distributable column.
can anybdy suggest any solutn for the same.
Regards
Ashis

Hi Ashis,
This is the standard behaviour. It is similar you plan costs in PS using easy cost planning. You can see yoou cost total up or in a report or go to CJ20N -->open your project --> SHIFT + F11

Selecting /distributing column values

PQR A B C D E
AA 1 2 3 4
BB 1
CC 1 2 3
DD 1 2 3 4 5
EE 1 2
six columns PQR, A B C D E
Here in this table AA is a combination of 1 2 3 4 , similarly BB is 1 , CC is a combination 1 2 3 , DD is a combination of 1 2 3 4 5 , EE is a combination of 1 2
My new table will have a two columns PQR and ZZ with these values .
My final table will look like this , with all the combination values under a single column ZZ .
PQR ZZ
AA 1,2,3,4
BB 1
CC 1,2,3
DD 1,2,3,4,5
EE 1,2
How should the query be if I have to list each of these combination values under a single column and get rid of columns B C D E .
The resulting table should be in this order with 2 columns PQR and A
PQR A
AA 1
AA 2
AA 3
AA 4
BB 1
CC 1
CC 2
CC 3
DD 1
DD 2
DD 3
DD 4
DD 5
EE 1
EE 2
Any takers please.

Hi,
Type {code} (all small letters, between curly brackets) before and after tabular data when posting on this site, to preserve spacing.
I think what you want is:
SELECT     SUBSTR     (      CASE WHEN a IS NOT NULL THEN ',' || a END
              ||     CASE WHEN b IS NOT NULL THEN ',' || b END
              ||     CASE WHEN c IS NOT NULL THEN ',' || c END
              ||     CASE WHEN d IS NOT NULL THEN ',' || d END
              ||     CASE WHEN e IS NOT NULL THEN ',' || e END
          , 2
FROM     table_x;The CASE staements add only the items that are in the table, each preceeded by a comma. That keeps you from getting multiple commas when multiple columns are NULL.
SUBSTR removes the comma before the first item.

JS columns distribute problem

Hi,
sitting on this already few hours - what am I doing wrong?
I'm trying to evenly distribute columns in a table (_tb) using folowing line, but table stays unaffected
(I properly addressed table everything else is working just fine)
_tb.columns.everyItem().redistribute(HorizontalOrVertical.HORIZONTAL);
any idea to evenly distribute rows/columns in a table
(same as Menu Command: Table->Distribute Columns Evenly)?
thanks
smok
PS.
simple workaround was :
colLgth = _tb.columns.length;
wdth = _tb.width;
_wdth = wdth/colLgth;
_tb.columns.everyItem().width = _wdth;
but I would like to do it in one line without math and using command "redistribute"
thnks
smok

tb.columns[0].redistribute (HorizontalOrVertical.VERTICAL, tb.rows[0]);
What your own attempt probably did -- and without saying so -- was something like "distribute width of one single column", which indeed does not make sense.
Somehow I also wouldn't have thought "VERTICAL" is correct here But it failed with HORIZONTAL, and now the Undo menu says "Undo Distribute Columns Evenly" so I guess that's what it takes.

Tables with differing numbers of columns in subsequent rows

I'm trying to create a table that has say 3 columns in row one, 2 columns in row two, 5 columns in row 5. I've done it so far by merging cells and splitting them and then asking it to distribute columns evenly but the columns are not distributed evenly.
The column width button is greyed out so I can't set the width manually and so my table looks really unprofessional.
Is there a better way of creating such a table and getting equally distributed columns?
Many thanks
sekentious

an example of merging cells is here
[http://www.crionics.com/products/opensource/faq/swing_ex/JTableExamples4.html]
scroll down to 'Multi-Span Cell'
run the program, highlight some cells, click combine.
if that's the type of thing you're after, modify your code per what's in 'combine'
note: the original code (now) produces a stack overflow error (don't know if it's been fixed in the above link),
but if you get that error, in AttributiveCellTableModel's setDataVector( Vector newData, Vector columnNames )
change
setColumnIdentifiers(columnNames);
to
columnIdentifiers = columnNames;

Equal space for Table column Gutter?

Hi All,
I want to make the tables column between space equally by using the Scripting (InDesign CS5.5 Windows). I'm stuggled in creating the algorithm to this task. Is any one already completed this type of automation means please share your thoughts, or please suggest the algorithm you are using.?
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Imagine.

In the above snapshot In between columns are having the uneven spaces. I need to give the even space between columns based on the maximum characters on that columns.
Do you mean the equivalent of Table > Distribute Columns Evenly?
No.

CS2 automatically fit row height to content in table?

Hi guys, I'm using CS2 and I have a table with lots of pages. I need to be able to have the height automatically fit to the content of the tables. Unfortunately data is not consistent therefore some cells have 2 rows of content, others 8.
Automatically fit to content is not available.
I have tried adjusting row heights then 'table' > 'distribute rows evenly' but obviously this is no good as some are too cluttered, others too spacious.
Any suggestions appreciated.

Huh. Maybe I read the OP's posts correctly, I think, but I misread yours. I assumed that, since the thread-opener mentioned row height, that when the OP asked about getting rid of "distribute evenly" that row height was still under discussion. Looks to me like all you can do with cell width/column width is
1) Select a column and specify an exact width
2) Select a group of columns and specify the same exact width for all of 'em
3) Select all the columns and
a) Distribute columns evenly
b) Specify an exact width for all columns
Unfortunately, I have to use tables a great deal, so I feel like I'm up to speed on what we can and cannot do with ID tables.

Table text frame width adjustment by script

Hi,
I have to capture my table cells within ‘Text Frame Width’ option with ‘Distribute Column Evenly’ , when it’s going to beyond the ‘Text Frame Width’. Is this possible by script?

Hi Hasvi,
Try this.

        _tfwidth = _tables[i].parent.geometricBounds[3] - _tables[i].parent.geometricBounds[1];
        _cells = _tables[i].rows[0].cells;
        for(var j=0;j<_cells.length;j++)
                currentwidth +=_cells[j].width;
        if(currentwidth > _tfwidth)

Cannot Paste Duration data--format changes upon Paste!

I'm pasting some tabular data and one column is Duration (Ex: 01:19:00) and when I paste the data in values like 01:19:00 become 1:19 AM.
I need the actual durations so they can be computed.... how can I get Numbers to stop automatically changing these values???
Thanks,
Robert

For those which don't want to pre-format a table, I wrote this script which protect the durations.
CAUTION :
as the developers forgot to include duration in the list of formats settable thru AppleScript, I apply the format text. You will have to change it to duration 0:00:00.
--[SCRIPT iTunestoNumbers]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : iTunestoNumbers.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Copier des données dans iTunes. Si elles contiennent des durées,
aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “iTunestoNumbers”
Le script les colle dans une table d'un nouveau document Numbers
dont certaines colonnes sont définies au format texte pour préserver les dites durées.
Il vous faudra retoucher le format en spécifiant durée, 0:00:00 dans l'Inspecteur de cellules.
Je suis désolé mais les dévelopeurs ont oublié d'inclure durée dans les formats applicables à l’aide d’AppleScript.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: iTunestoNumbers.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Copy datas from iTunes. If they contain durations,
go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “iTunestoNumbers”
The script will paste the datas in a Numbers new table
whose some columns are defined as text to protect the duration entries.
You will have to adjust the format to duration 0:00:00 thru the Inspector of Cells.
I apologize but the develpers forgot to include duration in the list of formats settable thru AppleScript.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

Missing page break

Is there a way to insert a real page break into multi-pages sheets like in Excel? I have not found a way to do this or a work around apart from inserting multiple rows.

you may not have same problem
my columns stuck out over what used to be a page break
so I fit columns to data starting from the right most column
until all the columns I wanted were on one sheet
then there is a Distribute columns evenly (or something like that)
that spread the columns to evenly fill out page.
Not complete control
but at least my pages started on the column I wanted

Distribute Reports to Blob Column

Is it possible to distribute BI Publisher reports to a blob column? I would like this feature for my scheduled reports.
Regards,
Todd

Thanks for the replies,
I'm not familiar with these solutions, so I will need to research...
I would like to have my application users submit BIP reports to the BIP scheduler. Then once the BIP reports are distributed to a blob column (in a table I define). The application users could then retrieve their reports from the blob column...
I like the idea of having the report in a blob column as it simplifies my application security. I can control my application security through the database. Having the report stored in the database along with security logic also enables my application to show the user only the reports they've run...
Thanks,
Todd

Hiding columns/fields in the response portfolio after you distribute your form

I have a 10 page from that has about 100 radio buttons (yes/no) in it. After someone submits the form and I open my response portfolio the only columns/fields I want to see is the name, date, age and exclude all the radio buttons. Can you set an option LC ES before you distribute the form?
I have found I can do this within the portfolio pdf, but only going to modify---view-then unchecking what I do not want to see…………BUT it is ONLY one at a time. If there is another way of doing it LET ME KNOW!!
Thanks
mike

The response file is a collection. But unfortunately it can't be edited, at least not easily. You can remove a column with a script run in the console window.
this.collection.removeField("FieldName");
The field name is typically the name displayed at the top of the column.

HI ,
1. You cannot use a table or view that contains xml or clr type as 4-part name in your query
2. You need to cast the column to either nvarchar(max) or varbinary(max) or other appropriate type to use
3. If you have a table that has xml type for example then you need to create a view that contains all columns other than xml and query it instead. Or you can issue a pass-through query using OPEN QUERY with the appropriate columns only.
Here is a work around:
SELECT
Cast(a.XML_Data as XML) as XML_Data
FROM
OPENQUERY([LINKED SERVER NAME HERE],'
SELECT
Cast(XML_Data as Varchar) as XML_Data
FROM
[DATABASE NAME].[SCHEMA].[TABLE NAME]'
) a
Basically, the data is queried on the remote server, converts the XML data to a varchar, sends the data to the requesting server and then reconverts it back to XML.
You can take help from below link;
