Exception colour required for values not the cell

Hi,
While running the reports the exception is colouring the whole cell.
Is it possible to colour the value in the cell keeping the cell normal...
thanks in advance
Santosh

Hi Santosh,
Just tried it out and it seems encouraging. This is what I did: In the workbook, click an exception cell and then click the Format button on the Bex Toolbar. Choose Font and change the color of the font, then fromthe same button choose Patterns and remove the background color.
Hope this helps...

"The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed..."

I realize my explanation of my problem is long-winded, so if you want a shortened version, here it is:
I've followed all the instructions trying nearly everything, and no matter what I do, iTunes gives me the error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software." My G5 iPod (60GB) works on two other computers (both without any music on them), so I assume there something wrong with my computer and not the iPod itself.
Now for the long-winded story of the last eight hours of my life...
I just got the Generation-5 iPod Video (60GB) a today and I'm having problems already. I followed the instructions and installed the iPod software and then plugged in my iPod (iTunes has been on my computer for a while now). I was expecting iTunes to open after plugging in the iPod, but my device manager only detected and installed "a new device". I manually opened iTunes and got an error saying: "The software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed correctly. Please reinstall iTunes to install the iPod's software."
After re-installing the iPod software and iTunes, and restarting my computer countless times, I came looking for help here. I found this page, which seemed to outline my problem exactly. My computer recognizes the iPod as a drive, but iTunes won't have anything to do with it. I have all the symptoms outlined in the heading, so I hoped to solve my problem there. I followed the instructions step-by-step, and after the final restart, I open iTunes to get the same exact error message.
I decided to determine whether there was a problem with my iPod or if it was my computer. I plugged my iPod into my uncles's powerbook, and got to the point where I can name and configure my iPod. I expected it to work flawlessly on a Mac (which it did) but there is no way for me to continue using a Mac (after tomorrow) for my iPod. This formatted the iPod for a Mac, so I went to another (different from the original) Windows computer, clean of any iTunes and iPod software, and followed the instructions exactly as they're supposed to be followed. After the installations, I plugged in my iPod, and although iTunes didn't open, I was able to format back to Windows and name my iPod (a step in the right direction). I should note that my (anti-iPod) computer is a Windows XP Pro, and the working one is Windows XP Home Edition. This was all well and good, until I remembered there was no music on this computer. So my iPod is completely working there, but there isn't anything I can do with it.
Next, I came back here and browsed around the discussion boards, hoping to find somebody with a similar problem to mine. There seems to be alot of errors concerning iTunes not recognizing the iPod, but none of the solutions I tried worked for me, including changing the drive letter. I get the "iPod Service Error" while trying to restore to factory settings through iPod updater.
Of course, I could transfer all 32GB of music from one computer to another, but the second (working) computer isn't mine and I won't have access to it in a couple months. It would be most convenient if I could get my iPod working on my own computer. Any help would be appreciated, especially from somebody who has solved this problem or know how to solve this problem.
P.S.
Here are some other minor details that my be important, but I didn't feel they were worth including.
- My brother has his iPod mini set up on my computer, under a different user login. He gets the same error once in a while, but re-installing iTunes always solves the problem for him. I had him try solving my problem his way, but nothing worked for him either.
- My computer is an AMD Athlon 64 Processor 3200+, 512MB RAM with Windows XP Pro SP2 installed. My internal hard drive is partitioned, using the letters C, D and H (C being my system files, D used for recovery files and H for my applications and games). My E drive is used as a DVD/CD-ROM Drive, and drives F and G are reserved for virtual drives (none have been running during this entire ordeal). My external hard drive uses the letter I, and I manually set my iPod to use the letter J (I've never used 'J' for anything else before).
- Yes, I have downloaded and installed the latest versions of iTunes and the iPod software.
- I'm assuming there is a problem with my computer and not my iPod, since it worked on both other computers I tried. I'm hoping it's as simple as changing a registry file or cleaning out (yet another) temp directory.

Solution to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not installed"!
I battled this same problem for about 5 hours. Going through re-installations, the "5 R's", all these discussion boards. Nothing worked.
The problem is that iPodService was repeatedly crashing after minute or so. You can verify this by hitting Ctrl-Alt-Delete and noting that iPodService is missing from the process list (sort by image name), or by right-clicking on My Computer and selecting "Manage", then going to Services and checking out the IPodService service - if it gives you the option to "Start", then it's not running.
Here is what worked.
1. De-install iTunes and iPod (if you have the updater installed) completely by going to Start --> Control Panel --> Add/Remove Programs. Also delete the C:\Program Files\iTunes and c:\Progam Files\iPod\bin directories. (Don't worry, this doesn't affect your saved music files.)
2. Log in as an Administrator
3. Go into the registry (note this is dangerous - you should be careful) and remove the iPod entries that the uninstaller misses.
3.1 Go to Start menu --> Run.
3.2 Type in "regedit".
3.3 Go to HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodService.iPodManager.
There are two keys here, iPodManager and iPodManager.1. In my case, I did not have permission to view either of these. I think this is the root cause of the problem. I think the installer can't properly update these because it doesn't have permission. So you need to change the permissions:
3.4 Right-click on IPodService.IPodManager
3.4.1 Select "Permissions..." A warning will appear saying you don't have permission, but that you can change permissions.
3.4.2 On the window that launches, click on "Advanced..."
3.4.3 Click on the "Owner" tab.
3.4.4 Select a valid account (the one you're logged in under) under "Change Owner To".
3.4.5 Hit "OK".
3.4.6 Back on the main Permissions window, hit Add and add the same account as a valid user.
3.4.6.1 Where it says "Enter the object names to select", type in the account name, e.g. "Smith".
3.4.7 Click on the "Allow" checkboxes for "Full Control" and "Read".
3.4.8 Hit "OK".
3.5 Repeat procedure for the "iPodManager.1" key.
3.6 Now right-click and delete both of these keys.
I think that's all that's required, but I also searched through the registry and deleted the following keys.
4. Other keys I deleted:
4.1 HKEYCLASSESROOT --> IPodManager.IPodManagerUI.1
4.2 HKEYLOCALMACHINE --> SOFTWARE --> Apple Computer Inc. --> iPod
I think that's all I deleted, but I'm not positive. I seached for instances of "ipod" using the Find... and Find Next functions under the Edit menu.
5. Exit out of the registry editor.
6. Re-install iTunes. I re-installed iTunes and reconnected the iPod, and everything worked.
I want to repeat that editing the registry can completely mess up your computer if you modify the wrong things, so only do this if you're comfortable, and be extremely careful.
Hopefully this helps!

SOLUTION to "Software required for communicating with the iPod is not insta

Folks, I can not take credit for this.....you should send your checks to MarkinMadison. I've included his post in it's entirety. For me, this was the Holy Grail !!
My only comment is make sure when you are in the registry that you hit the "apply" button to change and add things.
This probably won't solve everyone's problem but it clearly solved mine (and I tried all other "solutions"), as well as Mark's.
Apple: please find out who MarkinMadison is and either cut him a big check or offer him free Ipods for life.

I have also posted the same question, earlier today. I purchased two for my children and cannot get the iPod to communicate with the computer. I have the iTunes software on my system, but during the installation process I cannot click the NEXT button, once I plug the iPod cable in. The computer does not detect it. I have tried all 6 USB 2.0 ports. I even removed the Dell Jukebox and MusicMatch programs. I am not a computer savvy person - just a mom who wants to give these to my children for Christmas. This is the first "chat" site I have even registered on. I am so very frustrated. Hopefully, this can be resolved.

JTable cell editor ..not able to delete value in the cell

Hello,
I have applied Cell Editor on the JTAble. I'm able to enter value initially in the cell.
Once I tab out of that cell, go back to the same cell, edit the value again and tab out. It still shows me old value, not the updated one.
I'm using putClientProperty("terminateEditOnFocusLost", Boolean.TRUE) to recognise the cell value without focus lost.
Does this cause any problem ???
Thanks in advance
Kapil

then what might be the problem of value not getting deleted ??
Code is:
public class MyTableCellEditor extends AbstractCellEditor
implements TableCellEditor {
//This is the component that will handle the editing of the cell value
private JTextField component = null;
//This method is called when a cell value is edited by the user.
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
boolean isSelected, int rowIndex, int vColIndex) {
component = new JTextField();
System.out.println("value*************** "+value);
System.out.println("Component value*************** "+component.getText());
if(value != null){
component.setText(value.toString());
else{
component.setText("");
// Return the configured component
return component;
// This method is called when editing is completed.
// It must return the new value to be stored in the cell.
public Object getCellEditorValue() {
return component.getText();
public boolean shouldSelectCell(EventObject anEvent) {
return false;
}

Shading part of a JTable Cell dependent upon the value of the cell

Hi
Was hoping some one woudl be able to provide some help with this. I'm trying to create a renderer that will "shade" part of a JTable cell's background depending upon the value in the cell as a percentage (E.g. if the cell contains 0.25 then a quarter of the cell background will be shaded)
What I've got so far is a renderer which will draw a rectangle whose width is the relevant percentage of the cell's width. (i.e. the width of the column) based on something similar I found in the forum but the part I'm struggling with is getting it to draw this rectangle in any cell other than the first cell. I've tried using .getCellRect(...) to get the x and y position of the cell to draw the rectangle but I still can't make it work.
The code for my renderer as it stands is:
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
public class PercentageRepresentationRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer{
     double percentageValue;
     double rectWidth;
     double rectHeight;
     JTable table;
     int row;
     int column;
     int x;
     int y;
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
          if (value instanceof Number)
               this.table = table;
               this.row = row;
               this.column = column;
               Number numValue = (Number)value;
               percentageValue = numValue.doubleValue();
               rectHeight = table.getRowHeight(row);
               rectWidth = percentageValue * table.getColumnModel().getColumn(column).getWidth();
          return this;
     public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        x = table.getCellRect(row, column, false).x;
        y = table.getCellRect(row, column, false).y;
          setOpaque(false);
        Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D)g;
        g2d.fillRect(x,y, new Double(rectWidth).intValue(), new Double(rectHeight).intValue());
        super.paintComponent(g);
}and the following code produces a runnable example:
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.DefaultTableModel;
public class PercentageTestTable extends JFrame {
     public PercentageTestTable()
          Object[] columnNames = new Object[]{"A","B"};
          Object[][] tableData = new Object[][]{{0.25,0.5},{0.75,1.0}};
          DefaultTableModel testModel = new DefaultTableModel(tableData,columnNames);
          JTable test = new JTable(testModel);
          test.setDefaultRenderer(Object.class, new PercentageRepresentationRenderer());
          JScrollPane scroll = new JScrollPane();
          scroll.getViewport().add(test);
          add(scroll);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          PercentageTestTable testTable = new PercentageTestTable();
          testTable.pack();
          testTable.setVisible(true);
          testTable.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
}If anyone could help or point me in the right direction, I'd appreciate it.

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?

How Do i create a list that will show in a dropdown box with the list being pulled from another tab and not the cell data format junk?
I currently run OS X 10.10.1
Now i have been trying to work on this for a while now and what i want to do should be simple but its apparently not.
Here is an example of what i want to happen.
I will have 2 tabs: Contact | Sales
Now Contacts will have the list of names and various information about a customer, While Sales will have one drop-down box for each Cell Row that will show the names of the person in tab contacts
for what i am wanting to do i cant use the data format pop-up menu because the list is edited everyday several times a day.
Now how do i do this, Excel can do this so how can numbers do it?

Hi Shegra,
Paste this into a applescript editor window and run it from there. In the script you may need to adjust the four properties to agree with your spreadsheet. Let me know if you have any questions.

What changes are required for OSS note 456507

Hi All,
PLease advise me what changes are required for OSS note 456507 (Assign the function groups QOWK or ORFC in the authorization object S_RFC to tRFC/qRFC users).
Im thinking of just going with the following additions to Role
AAAB Cross Application Auth Objects
S_RFC
Activity 16
Name of RFC - *
Type of RFC - *
But wanted to check what the implications of doing such a thing were, are there any negative points that you can think of opening up the access as above, as opposed to what was suggested in the OSS note?
Your advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in Advance.
Regards,
Sandhya.

Hello Sandhya,
S_RFC is needed in case of making any RFC calls.
Normally it is needed for users that are mentioned in RFC destinations.
As such mostly these users are system/communication users or super users.
Without giving access to function groups through S_RFC successful RFC call can´not be done.
Now the value of field name of RFC can be * but only for those users which are really global super users. In case you need this authorization for any selective functionality as in you case only for function groups QOWK or ORFC then you should try to restrict the access. Negatiity is only that in case of * the authorization access increases but for system or super users you dont need to worry too much really because with system/communication users no one can login and the super users will have sap_all generally. Also their passwords will be a well kept secret so that a miususe can not be made.
By global super users I mean users which are used for various types of activites.
Please award points accordingly.
Regards.
Ruchit.

Custom Integrator - Date Picker/LOV does not return a value to the cell

Hi,
I have configured a webADI template with a date picker in it. Though the picker is rendered when i double-click on the cell, the selected date is not populated back. Same happens for any other list of values may render in the integrator. Any suggestions on debugging this issue.
Regards,
Vinayaka

I have got the LOV working now. The issue was that I had not provided the table-select-column with the interface column name. It was set to the table column name.

Have cell equal the value not the formula

Hi there, I have the below formula which calculates the check digit on a UPC from another cell. Is it possible to have a cell reference this formula, without showing the formula, and only show the answer? IE. I only want the result in the cell as though
it was keyed in there manually, as I want to be able to double click and copy the actual number. Thank you for any help.
=A41000&RIGHT(10-MOD(SUMPRODUCT(MID(A41000,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11},1)*{3,1,3,1,3,1,3,1,3,1,3}),10))

Hi Jim,
Thank you for the reply.
Do I just put this number in VB on the corresponding tab and it should work? I'm not sure how to get it to work.
Also, in case I need to give more info, the column on the left is the number without the check digit, the number on the right is the cell with the check digit produced by the formula. As I go down the list, I go to the next row when needed
using the corner of the cell (fill). Hopefully I can get it so that the column on the right is not the formula, rather the actual value.

Setting default value for a jcombobox based on the value not the index

I am trying to set the default value for my combobox to the current year. One way I thought of doing it was to get the index of the value representing the current year and then use setSelectedInex to make it the default. Any ideas?
The relevent section of code is below.
GregorianCalendar gregorianCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
int year = gregorianCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);
String currentyear = year + "";
int startyears = 2000;
int numyears = 25;
JComboBox endyearcombobox = new JComboBox();
endyearcombobox.setBorder( BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.DARK_GRAY));
endyearcombobox.setFont(standardfont);
endyearcombobox.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent event ) {
endyearcombobox = ( JComboBox )event.getSource();

Thanks

Thanks mate,
That was what I was looking for. I still had a little more manipulation to do, but sent me on the right track and have got it working now. I don't know why I didn't think of it in the first place.

Formula Logic for Dates in the Cell Editor in Query Designer

Hi All
We are on BI7. (This is in the Cell Editor in Query Designer)
I am trying to create a formula in one cell that enters a date based on the following logic (Lets call this formula A):
I also have a placeholder "Cell reference" for a Date in another cell in the Cell Editor (Lets call it B).
I also have two other dates in seperate cells in the Editor (Lets call them C and D)
What i need to do is check that either C or D are not blank i.e one at least has a date and if so enter the date that is in B in A.
My formula logic in (Cell A) at the moment is as follows:
( Cell C <> 0 ) OR ( Cell D <> 0) * Cell B
When I run the query It is coming back with either a 1 or 0 depending if there is a date in C or D.
What I want it to do is to display the actual date of 'Cell B' in 'Cell A' if ( Cell C <> 0 ) OR ( Cell D <> 0)
If the value of B is blank ie no date I also want A to be blank i.e not equal zero or a blank date ie 00/00/0000
Example 1
Cell A    08/09/2009
Cell B    08/09/2009
Cell C   15/03/2010
Cell D
Cell A should = 08/09/2009 as there is a Date in Cell C or D and if so enter the date of Cell B in cell A
Example 2
Cell A
Cell B    08/09/2009
Cell C
Cell D
Cell A should = BLANK as there is a NO Date in Cell C or D
Example 3
Cell A
Cell B
Cell C   15/03/2010
Cell D
Cell A should = BLANK as there is a No Date in Cell B although a Date in cell C or D.
Thank you for assistance in advance
Kind regards

Hi there,
It seems you have done almost everything...
What it seems that is missing is probably the cell reference for Cell C and for Cell D, or did you forget to mention it here?
So here it is the big idea:
- In the Cell Editor of the query designer, create a new cell reference for Cell C, let's name it ref_cell_c;
- In the Cell Editor of the query designer, create a new cell reference for Cell D, let's name it ref_cell_d;
- In the Cell Editor of the query designer, create a new cell reference for Cell B, let's name it ref_cell_b;
- In the Cell Editor of the query designer, create a new formula for Cell A, let's name it form_cell_a;
The form_cell_a should be created by the following:
( COUNT(ref_cell_c) + COUNT(ref_cell_d) ) * ref_cell_b
So COUNT(operand) returns 1 if operand is different of 0 else it returns 0; So if ref_cell_c has any valu or ref_cell_d has any value it should return the value of ref_cell_b.
Please note that with this formula, if you have values in both ref_cell_c and ref_cell_d this formula returns 2 * ref_cell_b, which is not what you pretend, I'm assuming you'll have value only for the following combinations:
ref_cell_c has value but ref_cell_d don't have any
ref_cell_c don't have any value but ref_cell_d has a value
ref_cell_c don't have any value neighther has ref_cell_d any

Approval procedure required for Delivery note based on condtions

Dear All,
I have the followings situation in which the business flow is as such that Sales Quotation is made and based on the Sales Quotation AR Down Payment request is made. Once the downpayment is recieved from the customer entries are made in Incoming Payment, Sales Order is booked and AR downpayment Invoice is booked. As there are milestone payment means 30 %, 60 % which would be done through AR downpayment Invoice and final 10 % is the final AR Invoice done. Now lets say that I have a Sales quotation No 10001 having an value of USD 10000 based on which AR Downpayment Request for 30 % and incoming payment comes from the customer for 30 % which is 30 % of USD 10000 is USD 3000. After reciept of payment based on Sales Quotation No 10001 a Sales Order is been booked ( Document Number 20001 ) with a payment terms of 30 days credit. Now I want an approval procedure in the Delivery Note to do a check that if for that particular Order No the payment terms is for 30 days credit means the payment due date and if the next 60 % the customer does not pay in time (which is after 30 days) the delivery would require an approval from the Finance head.
I think the above situation can be solved from the approval procedure with the help of some query but am not able to understand as to how to work on it.
Would be obliged if you can throw some light in it.
Regards,
Rahul

Dear Gordon,
I think you did not understood my requirement. See the first 30 % downpayment the customer would be giving at the time of Sales Quotation. Now ater 30 % is recieved sales order would be booked. Now based on the sales Order delivery would be ONLY done when the next 60 % the customer pays. If he does not pays the next 60 % I want an approval to be done for delivery.
I had mentioned in my earier thread - ''next 60 % the customer does not pay in time (which is after 30 days) the delivery would require an approval from the Finance head.''
Means I want an approval check to be done on delivery with a condition of 60 % of the order value. And the final AR invoice would be done on the last 10 %.
I hope I am clear in my requirement.
Regards,
Rahul

James,
Select your key figure 'Diff' and right mouse click it. Select Properties. Look at the section Calculations (Includes Displayed data only). Change the Calculate Single Value to <b>Suppress Result</b>.
