EvDRE protecting cells - "The cell contains a calculated value.."
I have an evdre input template that gives me the following message "The cell contains a calculated value, or is for a non-base-level member. Try changing the associated member to a base level member, then re-entering the value".
Everything at the intersection is base level. Any suggestions on how to disable this message? What enables this message? I have had other situations where the intersection has a calculated member and it doesn't show this prompt, but only tells of the calculated member in the send confirmation screen. (BPC 5.1sp3)
Thanks
Mark
Thanks for the answer. It is data validation. I had used the Apshell version of an input template as a starting point and had changed it to evdre and made changes that impacted the data validation that was baked in. I didn't realize that this was being included in their Apshell templates.
Thanks again

The InfoCube contains non-cumulative values
Hi,
While creating multicube for inventory on two cubes its askin the below "The InfoCube contains non-cumulative values. A validity table is created for these non-cumulative values, in which the time interval is stored, for which the non-cumulative values are valid.
The validity table automatically contains the "most detailed" of the selected time characteristics (if such a one does not exist, it must be defined by the user, meaning transfered into the InfoCube)", what is that and how to solve this,
Please through some light on this its urgent.
ChandanHi,
Your multi cube is probably based on the infociune 0IC_C03 containing non cumulative key figures taht's why you get this message.
You generaly don't have to maintain validity area unless you are in a special configuration (for exemple loading data from two source systems).
UThe following link should give more information about validity area with non cumulative :

How to write multi row sub query with the row containing range of values?
Hi all,
I have to include a column which contains weight ranges and it should come fom table called "report_range_parameters"
The following query will reutrn those weight ranges.
select report_parameter_min_value || ' -> ' || report_parameter_max_value
from report_range_parameters
WHERE report_range_parameters.report_parameter_id = 2359
and report_range_parameters.report_parameter_group = 'GVW_GROUP'
and report_range_parameters.report_parameter_name = 'GVW_NAME'
The below query should return the values group by those weight ranges.
How could I write that sub query?
select SUM(NVL("Class 0", 0)) "Class 0" ,
SUM(NVL("Class 1", 0)) "Class 1" ,
SUM(NVL("Class 2", 0)) "Class 2" ,
SUM(NVL(" ", 0)) "Total"
FROM (
SELECT report_data.bin_start_date_time start_date_time,
SUM(DECODE(report_data.gvw, 0, report_data.gvw_count, 0)) "Class 0" ,
SUM(DECODE(report_data.gvw, 1, report_data.gvw_count, 0)) "Class 1" ,
SUM(DECODE(report_data.gvw, 2, report_data.gvw_count, 0)) "Class 2" ,
SUM(NVL(report_data.gvw_count, 0)) " "
FROM report_data
GROUP BY report_data.bin_start_date_time
) results
RIGHT OUTER JOIN tmp_bin_periods

Assuming the following 4 things:
(1) report_range_parameters contains data like this, from your [previous thread|http://forums.oracle.com/forums/message.jspa?messageID=3541079#3541079]
id group name min_value max_value
1 gvw_group gvw_name 0 5
2 gvw_group gvw_name 5 10
3 gvw_group gvw_name 10 15(2) max_value is actually outside the range (that is, a value of exactly 5.000 is counted in the '5->10' range, not the '0->5' range)
(3) the range has to match some column x that is in one of the tables in your main query
(4) You want to add that column x to the GROUP BY clause
then you shopuld do somehting like this:
select SUM(NVL("Class 0", 0)) "Class 0" ,
SUM(NVL("Class 1", 0)) "Class 1" ,
SUM(NVL("Class 2", 0)) "Class 2" ,

Protect The Cells in the Excel Sheet Even After giving the password.
Hi All,
I need to protect the cells in the report even after unprotecting the sheet after giving password.
That is, i have used some excel formulas in some cells, these cells are to be protected.
In Reports using EVDRE all the cells are getting, "Locked" option selected in the Protection tab by default. Even if we change that Option and refresh the sheet Locked is getting selected again.
So once we Protect the sheet using password all cells are getting locked. But once we remove password all cells are free to enter.
I want the user of the Sheet to use only certain columns in the Sheet. and all the other columns should not be user editable.
Please help me out in solving this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
Regards,
G.Vijaya KumarHi Vijaya,
I tested in my test environment and even after refresh , the range cells are still editable, they didnt get locked. I did the following:
1. Selected the range or column in Excel, then Tools - Protection - Allow users to edit range. I selected the range and gave the password.
2. Next I protected the complete sheet.
3. Now entire sheet is protected. Now again I selected the range in which I want to edit, first time it will ask for password which you gave for the range. So I gave and I was able to edit the cells.
4. I selected other cells and was not able to edit it so they are still locked.
5. I tried to refresh the report , and then I selected the range cells to edit and still I was able to edit it. Those cells didnt get locked.
So did you do the same things?
Thanks. -
Using "calc' function to show if the cell is editable(EVDRE Reports)
Hello All,
I have a question regarding using the "calc' property in my dimension 'ACCOUNT' in a EvDRE report to display the rows as calculated or input ready cells. I have developed an input template by opening a blank workbook and typing in EVDRE(). I have listed ACCOUNT to be in the rows and Time in the columns. I have listed the memberset to be members in the ACCOUNT and SELF, DEP in the Time dimension. Whenever I expand the EVDRE, I always get the cells to be 'yellow' in color similiar to the calc format. How do I differentiate between the Calculated cell and the input cell. I was thinking to use the CALC functionality similiar to the reports/input schedules written using EVGTS/EVSND functions.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks.Hi bpc4livin,
Take note that even though you have specified the base members as memberset in your EVDRE, still you must have base level members in your Current View in the Action pane. Remember that each data cells in an EVDRE template is an intersection of the dimension in your rows and columns plus the rest of the dimensions in your application which would come in your current view if you don't define them as memberset. So as long as there is one calculated member in your current view still the cell would be marked as calculated.
You can use EVDRE's format range to format a scpecific cell or group of cells. To activate this after you typed the EVDRE and refresh the sheet, you must check the allow formatting option in the EVDRE builder that appears. I think that there is already a default format in the format range that says that if a data cell is calculated it would be colored yellow. So if you want further knowldege on how to use the format range, you could see the Using Reports Help in the See Also section of the action pane of the BPC Excel.
Hope this helps,

I am using Numbers on my iPhone5 and cannot get the app to do a simple (SUM) calculation. It shows the formula correctly in the cell, but all I get for my long list of numbers to add is 0. How can I get this to work?
Oaky, at least we got that far. Next step is to determine if all those "numbers" are really numbers. Changing the format to "number" doesn't necessarily change the string to a number. The string has to be in the form of a number. Some may appear to you and me as numbers but will not turn into "numbers" when you change the formatting from Text to Number. Unless you've manually formatted the cells to be right justified, one way to tell if it is text or a number is the justification. Text will be justified to the left, numbers will be justified to the right.
Here are some that will remain as strings:
+123
123 with a space after it.

Hello! Users are trying to submit data within a form, but they get the following error message:
<<The cell or chart that you are trying to change is protected and therefore read-only. To modify a protected cell or chart, first remove protection using the Unprotectect Sheet command (Review tab, changes group). You may be prompted for a password.>>
They get the same error when they try to refresh the form.
The form is part of a task-list, but is not supposed to be protected. Actually they open the form from an empty excel workbook, so I don't understand what's the difference with other forms, where they don't have this message.

Hi,
We are developing quite a few excel worksheet reports.
The reports dont show the cells if contain formulas ( when opened in iPad or ipod ),
Is there any good solutions .
Thanks.There is no version of Excel for iPads. iPads come with something that lets you view the contents of Excel files but it implements only the common easy features and there are (literally) hundreds of things you can do in Excel that it doesn't know how to show on the screen, including some functions.
If you intend to work with spreadsheets on an iPad I suggest you buy Numbers for iPad
http://www.apple.com/apps/iwork/numbers/
which understands more (but still not 100%) of the things that Excel does. It is so cheap that you can probably afford to buy a copy just to see whether it does what you want.
If you are doing things with spreadsheets and intend to be primarily working on iPads then I suggest you actually use Numbers on a Mac as well, rather than using Excel at all. -
Conditional formating if the cell contains any date
Hi,
In my excel sheet i have one column containing only date (US format) or else they are blank. I want to format the cells containing date to Red color. How do i do it
Please helpIf you mean the font colour, just format the cells to have red font.
So I guess you mean interior colour.
You haven't said which version of Excel - it always helps.
For Excel 2003, for example, select the cells then
Format > Conditional Formatting > Cell Value Is > Greater Than: 0 > Format > Patterns > Red
For Excel 2007 or 2010, Home > Conditional Formatting > Highlight Cells Rules > Greater Than > 0 with Light red fill

I know you can set it to count the cells if they contain ONLY what's in the condition, but what if they contain the search term and something else? For example, if I wanted to count the number of cells that said "apple" when each of the cells contains something like "apple, orange, pear" or "pear, banana, apple" how would I do that?
Ken,
LI's solution will get you there if you are looking to count the string even if it is part of a larger string. You can see that Apple only exists three times as a distinct word, but 4 times as a string or sub-string.
If you are only wanting to count the frequency of the word "Apple", you can do this:
If you are using a Comma-Space between words as in your problem statement, you can substitute the following column B expression:
=IFERROR(FIND(“Apple,", A&”,"), 0)

Hi All,
Initially I thought this little problem would be relatively straight forward but now I’m not so sure. I am familiar with the mechanism by which DIAdem communicates with Excel and how to change the contents of a cell via a VBS script. In my task the contents of the cell in the first row, first column of MyProblem.xls contains the text “DIAdem”. I would like to be able to read this value and assign it to the variable MyString. I originally thought of doing something simple like this:
Dim MyString
Dim Excel, ExcelSheet
Set Excel = CreateObject(“Excel.Application”)
Excel.Workbooks.Open(“C\MyProblem.xls”)
Set ExcelSheet = Excel.Workbooks(“MyProblem.xls”).Sheets(“Sheet1”)
MyString = ExcelSheet.Cells(1,1)
At this point I would have hoped that MyString would have been set equal to “DIAdem” and I could have used MyString to change the name of a channel in the data portal if I desired using the following code:
Data.Root.ChannelGroups(1).Channels(1).Name = MyString
Doesn’t seem to work though. I’m guessing it is because MyString has not picked up the value of the contents of the cell? Can anybody propose a solution to my problem or indeed confirm whether what I am proposing to do is technically feasible.
Thanks in advance for any responses.
MatthewHi Matthew,
Just staring at your ActiveX code, it looks fine to me. My first thought is that this should work as you outlined it, and I've done this sort of thing many times, so I know it can work. My second thought though, is that what you probably really want is a DataPlugin and not a VBScript. Then you could just drag&drop the Excel file into the Data Portal and load all the properties and channels you want from the Excel file. If you have DIAdem 2010 or later you can use the SpreadSheet reader object in the DataPlugin to avoid the Excel ActiveX functions (and Excel's jealously with other applications trying to read a file it has open already).
Feel free to send me a few sample Excel files and describe what you want to load from the various cells, and I'd be happy to help you get a DataPlugin written to load your data. You can also email me at [email protected]

What exactly is the "cell factory?"
So I've been seeing this term a lot on the forums, as well as http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/table-view.htm and on the ensemble, but I'm not 100% sure what it is.... It seems like just a method to set data into your tables, like the table model? Anyone have a more in depth explanation than the one in the docs, I would appreciate it!!!
Thanks,
~KZCell factories create cells. A cell is a Labeled Node which contains some extra properties and methods for maintaining an editing and selection state and a link back to a cell value. Cells are used in a few places in JavaFX, for example in ListViews and TableViews, as well as TreeTables and ComboBoxes. The Cell is the visual representation (Node) which corresponds to a backing data item. The trick is that there is not necessarily a static one to one correspondence between cells and data values.
Let's take an example. Here is an empty ListView in a Scene. When I run the app, it displays the ListView at it's preferred height, with 17 rows.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.ListView;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
public class ListViewSample extends Application {
@Override public void start(Stage stage) {
ListView listView = new ListView();
VBox layout = new VBox();
VBox.setVgrow(listView, Priority.ALWAYS);
layout.getChildren().addAll(listView);
stage.setScene(new Scene(layout));
stage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); }
}Each one of those 17 rows is empty. No Cell Factory has been set, yet you can see alternating light and dark shaded rows. Each one of these rows in the ListView corresponds to a Cell and each cell has been generated by the default ListView cell factory. When I drag the stage's bottom border to increase the size of the stage, the list view increases in size. When I drag the stage's bottom border to decrease the size of the stage, the list view decreases in size. When the list view increases in size, more rows are visible. Each of the new cells for the larger list view are generated by the cell factory on an as needed basis; i.e. the cells were not created when the app was first run but only created as there was a greater visible area available to the ListView in which the ListView could display more cells.
Now everything is pretty boring so far. Let's add some data, using the following line of code:
listView.setItems(FXCollections.observableArrayList("apple", "orange", "pear"));Now you will see the strings "apple", "orange" and "pear" rendered in the first three cells of the ListView again by using the default cell factory for the ListView. Again this is pretty boring.
What we will do now is add some mutators which will change the observable list backing the list view in response to some user actions:
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.collections.FXCollections;
import javafx.event.*;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import java.util.Collections;
import java.util.Comparator;
public class ListViewSample extends Application {
@Override public void start(Stage stage) {
final ListView<String> listView = new ListView<>();
listView.setItems(FXCollections.observableArrayList("apple", "orange", "pear"));
ListViewSorter listViewSorter = new ListViewSorter(listView).invoke();
VBox layout = new VBox(10);
VBox.setVgrow(listView, Priority.ALWAYS);
listView.setMinHeight(0);
layout.getChildren().addAll(
listView,
HBoxBuilder
.create()
.spacing(10)
.children(
guavaCreator(listView),
listViewSorter.getSorter(),
listViewSorter.getReverser()
.build()
stage.setScene(new Scene(layout));
stage.show();
private Button guavaCreator(final ListView<String> listView) {
final Button guavatron = new Button("Add Guava");
guavatron.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
listView.getItems().add("guava");
guavatron.setDisable(true);
return guavatron;
public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); }
private class ListViewSorter {
private final ListView<String> listView;
private Button sorter;
private Button reverser;
public ListViewSorter(ListView<String> listView) {
this.listView = listView;
public Button getSorter() {
return sorter;
public Button getReverser() {
return reverser;
public ListViewSorter invoke() {
sorter = new Button("Sort");
sorter.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
Collections.sort(listView.getItems());
final Comparator<String> REVERSE_SORT = new Comparator<String>() {
@Override public int compare(String s1, String s2) {
return -1 * s1.compareTo(s2);
reverser = new Button("Reverse Sort");
reverser.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {
@Override public void handle(ActionEvent actionEvent) {
Collections.sort(listView.getItems(), REVERSE_SORT);
return this;
}OK, now we have some extra buttons, the "Add guava" button will create a new item ("guava"), the "Sort" and "Reverse Sort", buttons will change the sort order of the backing list. Now to understand what happens behind the scenes when we use these buttons, let's take a look at the source code for the default list cell factory.
new ListCell() {
@Override public void updateItem(Object item, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(item, empty);
if (empty) {
setText(null);
setGraphic(null);
} else if (item instanceof Node) {
setText(null);
Node currentNode = getGraphic();
Node newNode = (Node) item;
if (currentNode == null || ! currentNode.equals(newNode)) {
setGraphic(newNode);
} else {
setText(item == null ? "null" : item.toString());
setGraphic(null);
};This code is doing one of three things. If the list cell is empty, it sets the text and graphic to null, so you end up with a blank cell (the alternating light and dark grey bars are generated by the ListCell's parent setting differing style classes on alternate cells). If the item is a node, it sets the graphic to the node - this is the mechanism which allow you to place nodes directly in the backing list for the ListView and have the ListView display them OK. Otherwise a toString is called on the item to set the item's text (this is the case which is occurring for our simple example of Strings in the backing list).
Now the important thing to note about the ListCell implementation is that the clever logic of translating the backing item for the cell to a visual representation is occurring in an updateItem call. This updateItem method is invoked by the JavaFX system on the ListCell whenever the backing item for the cell has been invalidated, for example the item has been edited, a new item added, or the items in the list have been reordered.
So when somebody presses, the "Add Guava" button, a new ListCell is not created, instead updateItem is called on an already existing empty cell. This is because when we started the application, there was space for 17 rows, so 17 cells were already created, it is just that most of them were empty because we only had 3 items in the backing list for the ListView.
Now, if we press one of the sort buttons to reorder the backing list, it will cause the existing list cells to become invalidated, and updateItem will be called on each of the cells according to the change permutations in the ObservableList. Note that as each item is updated, a new Labeled display node for the item is not created, instead the setText method is invoked which changes the text for the existing Labeled.
There are a couple of extra cases to understand. Our backing list currently maxes out at 4 items. Let's say we drag the bottom of our stage up so that the available space for the ListView was made really small (e.g. only 2 rows high). In this case, you will two rows (cells) and a scrollbar you can use to scroll up and down. As you scroll up and down it seems that some rows are scrolling off the screen and some are scrolling on the screen. What is actually happening though is that the same two cells are remaining on screen and their contents being continually updated and replaced as backing items come in and out of view. This is the magic of how the ListView is able to achieve it's efficiency when dealing with potentially very large collections or collections where not all of the required data is available on the client at the current time. Instead of creating visual cells for all of the possible items which can be placed in the list, instead the ListView creates cells only for the visible items and updates the content of those cells on an as needed basis. This concept is known in the List Cell creators jargon as a Virtual Flow in a Virtualized control.
OK, so that was a little more interesting, but there have been a lot of words so far, and no custom cell factory. This was partly on purpose - there is lot you can do with the default cell factory without needing to create your own custom cell factory.
But sometimes you do actually want to create your own cell factory when you want fine control over the look or behaviour of the cells.
Let's say you want to show each item in the list with a capitalized friendly name "Apple", "Orange" and "Pear" and an icon - a picture of the corresponding fruit. To do this you would create a cell factory - something that can produce the visual representation of these things from the corresponding data values.
import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.collections.*;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.control.*;
import javafx.scene.image.*;
import javafx.scene.layout.*;
import javafx.stage.Stage;
import javafx.util.Callback;
public class ListViewCustomCellFactorySample extends Application {
ObservableMap<String, Image> iconMap = FXCollections.observableHashMap();
@Override public void init() {
iconMap.put(
"apple",

0, 32, true, true
@Override public void start(Stage stage) {
final ListView<String> listView = new ListView<>();
listView.setItems(FXCollections.observableArrayList("apple", "orange", "pear"));
listView.setCellFactory(new Callback<ListView<String>, ListCell<String>>() {
@Override public ListCell<String> call(ListView<String> stringListView) {
return new LabeledIconListCell();
VBox layout = new VBox(10);
VBox.setVgrow(listView, Priority.ALWAYS);
listView.setMinHeight(0);
layout.getChildren().addAll(
listView
stage.setScene(new Scene(layout));
stage.show();
public static void main(String[] args) { launch(args); }
private class LabeledIconListCell extends ListCell<String> {
@Override protected void updateItem(String item, boolean empty) {
super.updateItem(item, empty);
if (item != null) {
String friendlyText = item.toString();
if (item.length() > 0) {
friendlyText = item.substring(0, 1).toUpperCase() + item.substring(1);
setText(friendlyText);
setGraphic(
StackPaneBuilder
.create()
.prefWidth(55)
.children(
new ImageView(
iconMap.get(item)
.build()
} else {
setText("");
setGraphic(null);
}Here what the cell factory has done is to check what value of the backing item for the cell is whenever that item has been updated, and set some customized label text and graphic representation for the cell.
As a minor point, for efficiency, and because there are only a few of them, the required images are loaded and scaled up front so that they don't been to be reloaded every time the cell is updated with a different value (which if the image loading was within the cell's updateItem call could mean that the same image could potentially get loaded multiple times.
My personal take on this is that it is powerful but complicated. Often people will gravitate towards using the complex ListView and TableView APIs when they don't necessarily need all of the functionality and virtualization efficiency capabilities that the virtualized controls offer. In many cases, simple layout mechanisms such VBoxes and Grids can be a better choice. However, if you have a need for the virtualized functions, then it's good to know that things like ListView and TableView are there if you can work out how to use them well in your case.
Also note that JavaFX 2.2+ has numerous convenience methods for creating different kinds of cells which you may be able to use in standard cases to avoid some of the overhead in creating your own, for example the CheckBoxListCell, the ComboBoxListCell and the TextFieldListCell. And there are many more such simplifying higher level abstractions in the DataFX library.
One other point worth observing is that if you have a list of mutatable objects, for example Person objects with a changable last name field, then you need to make the object an Observable object with an invalidation implementation if you want the updateItem call in the cell factory to be invoked automatically whenever the object is mutated.
A cell factory and a cell value factory are different things, but that is probably a topic for a different post.
I realize this was a round about and lengthy explanation - hopefully it served some purpose and helped to explain some of the mysteries of cell factories.

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?
Thanks Kelly,
The answers would be the following:
1200 cells per custom section (NEW COUNT), and up to 30 custom sections per spec.
Assuming all will be populated, and this would apply to all final material specs in the system which could be ~25% of all material specs.
The cells will be numeric, free text, drop downs, and some calculated numeric.
Are we reaching the limits for UI performance?
Thanks
