F4 key as an "absolute" function key in excel

Can anyone help. I need my F4 key to be the absolute function in excel. Not working! I have a new imac 3.06. this key board has no F key functions.
Help!

(I think it's quicker just to type the "$" myself)
Me too. Or, if the formula editor defeats my intent as I type, click the triangle and check the Preserve Row and/or Preserve Column boxes.

Matching Primary key from Excel to DB Column before import

Hello Experts,
I am trying to achieve the task related with updates into my destination table via store procedure using dynamic sql. Basically I am importing the
excel file into sql server.
For further step, I want to update only the records that do not exist already in the table with reference to primary key. For this the user will provide
as an input for procedure the column (or columns) that compose the primary key in excel.
Example of EXEC command to run the store Procedure
EXEC
[ImportExcelFile_Error_Handling]
'D:\test\test.xlsx','sheet1','testDB',
'create','[Test Column1]’
So in this case the [Test Column1] from excel contains now my Primary Key and if I execute my procedure then code should check the values of the
[Test Column1] in the existing table in database, against the
[Test Column1]
in database.
If [Test Column1]
value match with db
[Test Column1]
then skip rows and if not match then insert row entry.
Below is my code, which needs to be update.
if
@TypeOfUpdate='Update'
Begin
declare
@PrimaryLeyColumn NVARCHAR(max)
set
@PrimaryLeyColumn=''
exec('Insert into ['
+ @DestinationTable
+ '] select * from openrowset(''Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0'', ''Excel 12.0;HDR=YES;IMEX=1;Database='
+ @TABLENAME
+ ''', ' +
''' select * from '+@SourceSheet
+ ''')')
end
thanks in advance.
Looking for support.

Quick Functions, export to Excel and variable screen pop up do not function

We have put the following in place in our environment.
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/en/45/2f76471ca96d7be10000000a114a6b/content.htm
Integrating into an SAP NetWeaver 2004 Portal (SAP EP 6.0).
The creation of the iview using the SAP BW Report iview template using version SAP NetWeaver BI (7.0) is successfull and the report is generated correctly. The problem occurs when we try to use the Quick Function - Export to Excel. At this point nothing happens. Another example is when we access the context menu and try to access the variable screen there are no popups. When the report is executed on our SAP EP 7.01 system the same reports functions properly. I am operating with all authorization so I believe this is not the issue. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Hello,
Please check SAP Note No. 1591929 for the solution.

Statistical calc with MDX question (Mode function as an excel)

Hi All,
I need to create an MDX Calc to Returns the most frequently occurring, or repetitive, value in an array or range of data.
For example, the mode of 2, 3, 3, 5, 7, 10 is 3.
In Excel I use the MODE() function but I don't know how to do this in MDX and add it as a measure in Universe.
I can't do the formula in WEBI because we have big data volume and I can't retrieve all the customers in WEBI.
We have SAP BW 7.0 and SAP BusinessObjects XI 3.1 fix pack 1.3
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
it looks like you created the entry twice so I would suggest you close on of them:
Statistical calc with MDX question (Mode function as an excel)
I don't think that those kind of statistical functions are available in MDX. you can always go to se37 and use the bapi_get_functions to see the list of supported functions.

But there is my problem because two windows: first- asking about saving the file and the second- asking about showing the file, pop up in this same time.
What condition should I write to call second window after this first one?
Please, any suggestions?
Thank you.

Hello
I'm just beginner and there is one thing I don't understand. Between lines
CALL METHOD OF EXCEL 'QUIT'
and
FREE OBJECT EXCEL
the window 'Do you want save changes' appears. And in that moment what is the value that says if the user chooses OK or QUIT?
If I would know that value, I could call function POPUP_TO_CONFIRM in the right moment.

Timeout when using ALV build-in functionality: exporting to Excel

Hello,
I have the following problem within one of my web dynpro abap applications:
I need to be able to display data in a table that preferably should be via alv component.
Then I shall also be able to download the displayed data via Excel.
So I have embedded the ALV component I added to the component within a view and activated the export to excel button.
Downloading small amount of data does no lead to any problem, but when trying to process a larger amount of data (in this case 22500 entries), I get a timeout.
Does anybody have any idea if it is possible to increase performance here without reducing the amount of data to be downloaded?
thanks a lot ion advance!

Original document should not copy thro save as Function in WORD & EXCEL

Hi,
When the microsoft originals like Word or XL file are displayed using ECL viewer in document display transaction (CV03N), the originals can be copied to local disc using " SAVE AS" function in microsoft word and excel menu. Is there any option to make those button in display mode.
Please suggest.
Regards
Chandrasekaran

Hi
SAP DMS and also ECL Viewer & Office viewer does not have any authorization object for controlling "save as.." function.
All existing authorization objects are related to Display originals. It means that if users have authorization object for Display an original, also they can "save as" this original.
But you can set "save as" to gray (display) with ABAP codes by changing related screens.

Planning function in layout excel

Hi,
i have attached a planning function to a layout excel with standard functionaly. If i use this layout in a planning folder doesn't work. If i use layout from bps0 it's everything ok.
Is there any reason ?
Thanks in advance

To perform Automatic execution of a function the planning function must be below the Layout and the layout must be an input layout.
If you open the Input layout hierarchy in the Tcode UPSPM, it will show as Input layout-> Your Layout-> Your planning function.Right mouse click on the planning function in UPSPM, select 'Function Attributes' and select the one of the 5 options which is appropriate for you.
Hope this helps
