Do I =Reference a data cell? or =Address the Cell

OK,
Anybody know why I cant "=reference" or "=Address" a single cell in Table 1 from Table 3? I'm using the following Function: "= ADDRESS (Row 30 :: Column B :: Table 1). I'm very new and am feeling very, very stupid!!!
I would also like to be able to add a sheet to the "correct" equation so that I can also reference between sheets, tables, columns and rows.
Thanks!!!
A very humbled MAC Fanatic
Bob
P.S. the cell I am trying to reference has function "=SUM(B2:B29)". I have tried using this formula, as well as, a specific number without any equation attached to it... Same results! TX!!!

I tink what Yvan was trying to imply was that the reference might not be bad, its the use of the function.
ADDRESS
The ADDRESS function constructs a cell address string from separate row, column, and table identifiers.
ADDRESS(row, column, addr-type, addr-style, table)
The address function takes multiple arguments, that then return a string that LOOKS like a true reference. This can be used by Indirect to return a true reference that can be utilized inside other functions. It allows a refrence to be constructed from the results of other cells values.
I utilize this one often if I have a single table for each month and need to create a summary table that reports on each other table. I just list the tables as a column of data, refer to it from an address inside indirect within my sum or average, or offset, and fill down. It gives the ability of adding more tables, users etc... and never having to rewrite the formulas. Just fill down.
The other thing that is wrong is the format of the reference posted itself though:
Row 30 :: Column B :: Table 1
would actually be:
Table 1::B30
So, when you put it all together, the user is trying to put a SUM result as the Row argument of a address function without providing at least the minimum required arguments for Address. While possibly parsing the reference wrong.

How to associate a fixed $ value to a date cell?

I'm trying to keep track of payments made, according to date.
I have one column where I enter dates.
Can I associate these date cells to a fixed $ value, so that each time I enter a new date the SUM cell will automatically update?
I hope so...
Thanks!

HI cp,
By "associate these cells to a fixed $ value," I assume you mean that fixed value will be added to the sum as each date in sentered.
Here are two examples, one showing the fixed amount in the adjacent column when the date (or anything) is entered in column A, the other showing only the total.
Both use a second table to hold the fixed value, making it easy to edit, if necessary.
Formulas:
(Method 1)
B2, and filled down to B10: =IF(LEN(A)>0,Fixed value :: A$2,"")
LEN(A) returns the length (in character) of the entry in the cell in this row of column A. If anything is entered, the IF condition is TRUE, and IF returns the value in A2 of the smaller table. If nothing has been entered, the condition is FALSE, and IF returns a null string to the cell.
B11: =SUM(B)
Row 11 is a Footer row, and is not included in the cells to be summed.
(Method 2)
D11: =Fixed value :: A2*COUNTA($A)
COUNTA counts the number of entries in column A of the Main table, then multiplies the fixed value in the small table by the result of the count and returns the result.
This formula may be placed in any cell.
(Both methods)
The cell reference to Fixed Value::A2 (or Fixed Value::A$2) may be replaced with the actual value, and the second table eliminated, if desired.
Regards,
Barry

Excel sheet has modified data cells error - do you want to submit

Using smartview in office 2007 I often get trapped in a loop where each time I modify any data on the excel sheet I get the error "Excel sheet has modified data cells. Do you want to submit the modified data cells before proceeding?". Regardless if I choose yes or no I basically have to start a new instance of excel to clear the error.
For the most part I never use member select rather just type the members I want freehand in the excel workbook. Seems like the error arises after I insert or delete a row or column and then try to update the page.
If I "reset" the connection it seems to help but not all the time.

This may be the same issue as you are experiencing "When Trying to Copy Cells Between Excel Tabs Get Message "Excel Sheet has modified data cells do you want to submit the modified data?" [ID 1301092.1]"

Access via command line to the data files for Address Book

Snow Leopard Server 10.6.8
Mac Mini 2.66 GHZ Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 1067 MHZ DDR3
I rolled back from Mountain Lion Server to Snow Leopard Server because I needed mySql. At the time I was under AppleCare and they walked me through the steps. However, I ended up with Address Book issues.
Addressbook user on the Snow Leopard Server was upgraded to Mountain Lion Server. During the rollback process, the Apple tech had me delete the Addressbook user.
When we finished the rollback, he had me recreate the Addressbook user, but now it is linked to a new, empty data file. I cannot add new contacts nor edit or delete them. So I need to use the command line to view both data store files, find the one that has my data in it and re-attach it to my new Addressbook user.
Can someone help me with the Command Line commands?
Thank you,
Cailyn

Hi,
There are a couple of more advanced solution I can think of and I'm actually working on one myself.
* You can create your own jnlp client that allows you to pass in arguments. That sounds harder than it easy. Building a stripped down jnlp client (e.g. no installer, no applets) using one of the two open-source client as a start takes probably just a couple of days and should be sufficient for in house usage.
* Another solution is what I'm working on now. You can wrap your own executable around javaws that takes your passed in arguments plus jnlp href and looks up the original in the cache and adds a new one to the cache that it passes on to javaws and suddenly everything works as it should. The magic will be revealed at http://www.geocities.com/vamp201

How to export Date book and Address book from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book?

I have my calendar information and addresses stored in Palm Desktop date book and address book, respectively. I am running Palm Desktop 4.2.1. Everytime I try to export the date book or address book to my desktop using the vCal format, the Palm desktop crashes. My goal is to export all my data from Palm Desktop to iCal and Address Book on the Apple OS (10.6.1). Does anyone have any advice as to how I can do this or do I just have to start from scratch and manually enter the data from Palm Desktop to Apple iCal and Address Book? I looked at the Missing Sync software, but I don't think this will do the trick. The Genius Bar at the Apple Store didn't offer any solutions either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Post relates to: Palm V

Hello tay8000m and welcome to the Palm forums.
Have you tried running the "Repair Disk Permissions" command in Apple's Disk Utility application yet? Launch Disk Utility, select "Macintosh HD" from the left side of the window, and then click the "Repair Disk Permissions" button.
After the utility has run, try launching Palm Desktop again and then exporting your data as vCard or iCal files. If the exports aren't working for you, you can always export the data as comma separated values (.csv) file and then import that into the Apple apps you want to use.

How to check circular reference in data of millions of rows

Hi all,
I am new as an oracle developer.
I have a table(say table1) of hierarchical data with columns child_id and parent_id. The table has around 0.5 million records. There are around 0.2 million root level records are present.
I need to update some (the number variies on different conditions, might differ from 50K to 0.4 million) of the parent_ids from other table only if that do not cause any circular reference in data of table1.
I am using Oracle9i.
The approach I have tried is:
I copied all data from table1 to a work table table3. Update the parent_id on columns that matches the condition and updated a column source_table to table2.
I copied all the child_id from table2 that are to be updated into another table table4 and built tree for each of those childs. If it builds the tree successfully updated a column is_circular in the table3 to 0 and then deleted the child_id from table4.
This whole process needs to run recursively until no tree is built successfully in an iteration.
But this process is running slow and at the rate it is executing it would run for days for the 0.3 million records.
Please suggest a better way to do this.
The code I am using is :
INSERT /*+ append parallel (target,5) */
INTO table3 target
select /*+ parallel (src,5) */
child_id, parent_id, 'table1' source_table,null
from table1 src;
INSERT INTO table4
select distinct child_id, parent_id
from table2
where status_cd is null;
commit;
Update dtable3 a
set (parent_id,source_table) = (select parent_id,'table2' source_table
from table4 b
where b.child_id = a.child_id);
WHILE v_loop_limit<>v_new_count
LOOP
select count(1)
into v_loop_limit
     from table4;
-+-----------------------------------------------------------
--| You need to actually traverse the tree in order to
--| detect circular dependencies.
+-----------------------------------------------------------
For i in 1 .. v_new_count
BEGIN
select child_id
into v_child_id from(
select child_id, row_number() over (order by child_id) pri from table4)
where pri = i;
SELECT COUNT (*) cnt
INTO v_cnt
FROM table3 dl
START WITH dl.child_id = v_child_id
CONNECT BY PRIOR dl.child_id = dl.parent_id ;
UPDATE table3SET is_circular = '0'
where child_id= v_child_id
and source_table = 'table2';
delete from table3
where child_id = v_child_id;
select count(1)
into v_new_count
     from table4;
COMMIT;
EXCEPTION WHEN e_infinite_loop
THEN dbms_output.put_line ('Loop detected!'||v_child_id);
WHEN OTHERS THEN
     dbms_output.put_line ('Other Exceptions!');
END;
END LOOP;
END LOOP;

Hello,
First off, if you're so new to a technology why do you brush off the first thing an experienced, recognized "guru" tells you? Take out that WHEN OTHERS ! It is a bug in your code, period.
Secondly, here is some code to try. Notice that the result depends on what order you do the updates, that's why I run the same code twice but in ASCENDING or DESCENDING order. You can get a circular reference from a PAIR of updates, and whichever comes second is the "bad" one.drop table tab1;
create table TAB1(PARENT_ID number, CHILD_ID number);
create index I1 on TAB1(CHILD_ID);
create index I2 on TAB1(PARENT_ID);
drop table tab2;
create table TAB2(PARENT_NEW number, CHILD_ID number);
insert into TAB1 values (1,2);
insert into TAB1 values (1,3);
insert into tab1 values (2,4);
insert into TAB1 values (3,5);
commit;
insert into TAB2 values(4,3);
insert into TAB2 values(3,2);
commit;
begin
for REC in (select * from TAB2 order by child_id ASC) LOOP
merge into TAB1 O
using (select rec.child_id child_id, rec.parent_new parent_new from dual) n
on (O.CHILD_ID = N.CHILD_ID)
when matched then update set PARENT_ID = PARENT_NEW
where (select COUNT(*) from TAB1
    where PARENT_ID = n.CHILD_ID
    start with CHILD_ID = n.PARENT_NEW
    connect by CHILD_ID = prior PARENT_ID
    and prior PARENT_ID <> n.CHILD_ID) = 0;
end LOOP;
end;
select distinct * from TAB1
connect by PARENT_ID = prior CHILD_ID
order by 1, 2;
rollback;
begin
for REC in (select * from TAB2 order by child_id DESC) LOOP
merge into TAB1 O
using (select rec.child_id child_id, rec.parent_new parent_new from dual) n
on (O.CHILD_ID = N.CHILD_ID)
when matched then update set PARENT_ID = PARENT_NEW
where (select COUNT(*) from TAB1
    where PARENT_ID = n.CHILD_ID
    start with CHILD_ID = n.PARENT_NEW
    connect by CHILD_ID = prior PARENT_ID
    and prior PARENT_ID <> n.CHILD_ID) = 0;
end LOOP;
end;
select distinct * from TAB1
connect by PARENT_ID = prior CHILD_ID
order by 1, 2;One last thing, be sure and have indexes on child_id and parent_id in your main table!

ADF calendar date cell background color change

Hi,
I am new to jdeveloper / ADF.
I coded per the below calender sample in my jdeveloper and it runs fine.
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/developer-tools/jdev/calendar-091799.html
The current date cell shows in yellow color background. How/where can I change that color.
Also the small calendar look up for the start/end date-time setting allows the user set the start/end time upto HH/MIN/seconds. How can I remove the seconds
Thanks for all your help.

You can create a new skin for your application and use the following selector which we deliver..
.AFCalendarTodayBackground:alias
background-color: blue;
ALternatively, you can use the specific selector
af|calendar af|calendar::day-of-week:today {
background-color: blue;
You can also see other ways of customizing your look and feel of the calendar component by referencing the hosted demo for skinning the calendar component.

Hi Karsten,
I deleted the environmenshell by running the program UJS_ACTIVATE_CONTENT, it was deleted successfully, but when I again ran the same program with selection as all the remaining options apart from delete/clean the environment (i.e . activate the content, activate the environment, etc), it gave an error - UJT_EXCEPTION, Message Type I, Message Number - 109, There is no environment dependent entity to be imported.
When I check in rsa1, infoarea corresponding to environmentshell is not found at all.
Did you get such an error message while activating the environmentshell again?
Which option did you use clean the environment or delte the environment?
Any help on the error appreciated.

I click on button "NO" and so i can view all data with the formula ready for the submition without submitted tha data first.
I want to submit data only after some control ceck.
To this regards I'll want to know if is possible to disable this alert message?

Secondary Unit Designations from Data Services' Global Address Cleanse

Using Data Services' Global Address Cleanse transform and want to have multiple Secondary Unit Designations retained, parsed, standardized and returned in output data.
ie: 1 Dexter Ave Floor 10 Suite 5
Only finding "Suite 5" store in the output SECONDARY_ADDRESS field.
The 1st unit of the 2 units, "Floor 10" is being lost consistenly using the Global Address Cleanse transform (not the US Regulatory Address Cleanse transform). I want to standardize and output secondary and tertiary unit designations and numbers like Building 2 Floor 10 Suite 5 and other multi-level unit desinations such as those listed by the USPS at http://pe.usps.com/text/pub28/pub28apc_003.htm .
So is any Complex_Name and Complex_Type address line info like "Rockafellow Center", "Eastdale Mall", "Manhattan Mall", "Building 2", etc.
Same behavior for US and Canada. Multiple units or dwellings are very common on input addresses and should be retained as per USPS Cass Certification. How can this be accomplished using Data Services' Global Address Cleanse transform?

Clark,
you either need to download one of the following additional Address Directories
- Address Directory - All-World
- Address Directory - United Kingdom
for Data Services XI 3.x from the SMP. To have access to them you need a Annual Subscription to the Directories.

Tungsten T3 - need to access DAT file with addresses - Please Help

I have an old Palm Tungsten T3. The desktop computer with the synced address data has died and the T3 has lost power (so no addresses anymore).
I have a .DAT file backup with all my addresses. Can anyone advise how I can get access to these.
Reinstalling Palm Desktop 4.1.4e did not help as it doesn't allow me to import .DAT files.
Can I import this file into any other app or open up in Excel etc?
Any advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Post relates to: Tungsten T3
This question was solved.
View Solution.

You have to physically copy the .dat file into the User directory over the existing address.dat file. Find the one with your hotsync name abbreviated (i.e. - C:/Program Files/Palm (or PalmOne)/ your Hotsync name /address) and copy the .dat file there.
Be sure you copy the file and keep another one safe in case something goes wrong. The existing blank address.dat file will be only about 2k in size.
Good luck!

Reference object data update in Location tab page of order

Hello
When a reference object in notification/order is changed, the location and account assignment data is updated in order location data by standard settings in SAP but any changes to the master data of the existing reference object is not changed in Notification/Order location tab page.
But there is an option that when you change the data in the technical object and you need the same to be reflected in order location data for which this order has the reference object, we can use the functionality of clicking the right mouse in object list and so the data will be updated in notification/order.
Please explain how to carry out this step "of clicking the right mouse in object list and so the data will be updated in notification/order"..
I have changed the Location data/Account assignment data of techincal object in its master data and now i want that to reflect in Work order.
How to achieve this??

Hi,
Keep the cursor in Equipment field & right click the mouse. You can find the option Update Reference Object Data.
Select that option, you will get updated details in the Notification / order.

How to deactivate the context menu for data cells in web reports

Hello,
we would like to have the data cells (for example: values in euro) without context menu. I mean, right now, when users navigate in web reports and stop with a mouse over the data cell, text like "Context menu for 5.000 Highlighted" appears. Especially users don't want to see the exception cells with this information like
"Context menu for 6.000 critical 4".
Is it possible to deactivate this context info?
Thanks and Regards,
Nuran Adal
Message was edited by: Nuran Adal

Hello Nuran,
I guess you want to disable the Tooltip and not the ContextMenu. Anyway, use the table interface for it.
Have a look at paramter C_CELL_CONTENT
In Method DATA_CELL.
This one contains strings like:
30,0
Rebuild this String to:
30,0

Edit JTable Date Cell, press Enter, the Time Cell changes to GMT time!

Has anyone seen this strange behavior? I try to edit a Date Cell in JTable (orig. value 10/02/2000) and change it to (10/03/2000), I press Enter. But, the value of my Time Cell in the next column, same row which I never edited (orig. value 00:05:00) changes to approximately my system time in GMT (16:28:48).
This is an excerpt from my TableModel which get called from setValueAt():1734 javax.swing.JTable, JTable.java. In the code below, the debug statement prints out:
row, col = 0,0
Value in SubTableModel = 10-02-2000 16:28:48
Value should be "10-02-2000" since I did not edit the time cell at all. And why is row and col both zero?
public void setValueAt(Object value, int row, int col) {
try {
((ITableCellAdapter)adapters.get(col)).setData(getRow(row),col);
System.out.println("row, col = " + row + col);
System.out.println("Value in SubTableModel = " + value.toString());
((ITableCellAdapter)adapters.get(col)).setValue(value);
catch (PropertyVetoException badSet) {
System.out.println("could not set value");
fireTableCellUpdated(row,col);
How can I force it to set the date cell's new value only and leave the time cell alone?
I've also seen that sometimes my date entry gets lost, the old value still showing, what am I doing wrong? I've seen a bunch of bug parade listings about terminating edits within a JTable being buggy, is this related?
Any help on this is most appreciated!

Quick way to assign table header IDs to data cells?

Acrobat X (10.1.9)
For accessibility of tables with complex headers, is there a quick way to assign header IDs to data cells associated with them? I haven't found any faster way than going one cell at a time.
All tags already have an ID, this question is how to quickly assign IDs of the header cells to all data cells in a row or column.
Even better, is there a feature or plug-in that looks at a table's column and row spanning, and automatically assigns headers to all data cells?
I've used Table Inspector in Acrobat, and a several-years-old version of the CommonLook plug-in. Both of these allow you to set various properties to all cells in a selection. And they act like they happily set header IDs for multiple cells, but after clicking OK and looking at cell properties, TI doesn't set it for any of them, and CL only sets it for the first cell that was selected.
I prepare PDFs of scientific reports for Section 508 compliance. Often they are hundreds of pages long and have scores of large tables. Some clients insist on complex headers. Going cell by cell is astonishingly time-consuming.

Hi Danny,
The table editor in Acrobat XI is improved in some respects over X but still behaves exactly as you describe on table IDs – it pretends to allow IDs to be set for multiple cells but they do not stick.
You may want to evaluate the current CommonLook. It reportedly excels at tagging complex tables. I evaluated it quite some time ago and was underwhelmed, but I understand it has improved.
You might also be able to cheat a bit on some tables, using alt text (see raeben3’s post here http://forums.adobe.com/thread/1188165) or adding blank cells to the table tag structure to “regularize” the table. In other cases you may be able to deviate from the visual table representation and tag the content as a series of sub-headings and smaller, regular tables or lists. In some cases you will have to bite the bullet and use spanning properties and header IDs.
Hope this helps.
