"Fill Down" automatically creates series of dates

Stupid question perhaps, but here goes:
I'm working with a spreadsheet that has a date column.
I typed a date into a cell then attempted to copy that same date into some cells below it by using the "fill down" command. Instead, it created a series of dates, adding one day per row.
Isn't there some way to just copy the date to the cells below without creating a series???
Thanks!

Michele,
Copy/Paste and Fill are different operations and have different results. Had you Copied the first entry and Pasted it to the remaining cells, you would have gotten the result you wanted. The Fill feature assumes that you want a series rather than a duplication.

How to automatically create the custom migration scripts after recreating SSMA project?

How to automatically create the custom data migration scripts after recreating SSMA project?
There is number of tables ( big tables with BLOBS) which I want to set up automatically to be migrated with custom migration scripts (replacing e.g. attribute named "FILE" with "TO_BLOB('') AS FILE" ).
So the question is how to open MB file (I think that it should be standard db of some destktop RDBMS) ?

Hi Roman.Pokrovskij,
According
to your description, we can use SSMA tool to migrate data from one database (including Access, Oracle and so on) to SQL Server via GUI or the scripts. There is an example about migrating Access database to SQL Server via the
custom migration scripts, you can review refer to them.

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

Hi Dd,
If you want the next date automaitcally filled in when you add a row to the bottom of the table, you can use a formula.
Here's an example, done in Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09). The method is basically the same in Numbers 3.
Formulas in row 3:
B3: =B2+1
C3: =C2+7
D3: =D2+14
These have been filled down to the last row of the table.
The same table is shown below after three rows have been added by dragging the Row control handle (below the tab for row 7) down. No changes other than adding thse three rows were made by the user.
Note that rows 1 and 2 are header rows, and that row 2 contains the starting date for the seraies of date in each column. In the formula, the number at the end tells Numbers how many days to add to the previous date to get the next date.
Autofill of the formula requires that every non-header cell located above the cell into which the formula is to be filled contains the same formula.

Barry

Did you perform a Firefox Reset either by clicking the button on the Help > Troubleshooting Information page or via the Safe mode start window?
You may have gotten the Safe Mode start window as the result of not being able to start Firefox more than once after crashes.

"Reset" creates a new default profile with a time stamp appended to identify it and tries to recover settings like bookmarks and history and passwords and cookies and auto-fill data from the old profile, but you lose data like extensions and other customizations.

Firefox 15+ versions will move the old profile folder to an "Old Firefox Data-##" folder on the Desktop that gets a number appended if you use reset more than once, so you can no longer use the profile manager to revert to the old profile.

Preventive Work Order Dates Synchronization with its automatic created notification

Dear all,
Preventive Work Order Dates Synchronization with its automatic created notification
My question was initiated from PM module forum, please check above URL if you have time.
My ultimate problem is that :
"SMOD" Enhancement "QQMA0018" needs to receive its origin data of work order when the execution time of IP10 or IP30.
so that I can decide/calculate desired dates on the notification according to its origin work order date .
Do I need to use "export/import memory" statements to communicate with origin work order?
if it's true
Thanks for your help in advance.

Dear Pete,
I just made test data in our DEV server,
Work orders has been created by "IP30" which was executed today with its maint. plan( date format DD.MM.YYYY ).
below work order has been created and the basic start date seems derived from plan date.
below image is showing our 'SPRO' configuration for the PM priority.
"ZM03" order type is using "ZP" priority type.
(I don't know why is this work order didn't take the values defined on 'priorities for Each Priority Type' for calculating "basic start" & "basic finish" date, it seemed just copied same date with PlanDate)
you can see the notification which is created automatically by work order as below.
"M4" notification type is using "ZP" priority type as well.
It took the 'required start' date by adding 2 weeks from today(=creation date) as 'priorities for Each Priority Type' has defined and 'required end' date also set to 6 months later from 'required start' date.
(Am I right?)
Please let me know, if you need further information.
Thank you for your help.

Creating dynamic sized arrays and filling them automatically on speedy 33

hi all,
I am trying to create dynamic sized arrays on Speedy-33. Specifically, depending on the user input, I want to be able to create
arrays with 128 or 256 elements and fill them automatically. However,
array constant element is fixed for Speedy 33; thus I have to manually set the
size of the array with the mouse and enter the values in to the array by
myself. I want to make this tedious process automatic. Would this be possible? thanks so much for comments!
~casiopea

Casiopea,
There is a really great article on using arrays with LabVIEW DSC which can be found here:
How Can I Be Successful With Arrays In the LabVIEW DSP Module?
One of the biggest things that should be noted about DSP is that there is no dynamic memory allocation. Your array size must be fixed, and thus, your array needs to be initialized by using a constant.
An easy way to initialize an array constant that has many elements that are all the same is to simply create a numeric constant that has the value that you want. Then, create a new blank array constant and drag the numeric into it. In the index input for the array constant, type in the index of the last element that you want to be initialized. Then type in the value in the element that is displayed and all of the elements before it will be initialized to the default value of the numeric constant that you dropped into the array constant. I hope this helps. I would really recommend reading through that article, as it has a lot of great information about using arrays with DSC.

How to create a formula that shows only the last date of a series of dates

I have a report that shows a series of dates that 'notes' were created on a particular file. I want the report to only show the date of the last note that was created instead of showing all the dates. Ive tried using 'Maximum ()' which does not work.
Any suggestions?

Either order the dates in ascending order and place the date field in the group footer
-or-
order the dates on descending order and plade the date field in the group header.

Automatically creating non-interactive PDF forms from XML data

Hi All,
I am a newbie to the whole Adobe LifeCycle Designer product and have been trying to find a definitive technical article on a way to automatically create pdf documents from template forms using XML data. I can create the XML, I can create the form based on the XML schema but I can't seem to find anything which explains how to automatically associate the form with the each xml file that I create and produce a pdf document based on the xml data.
The project I am working involves creating marketing brochures, driven from our enterprise databases, to be sent to a printer. No user interaction is required, and I estimate that we'll need to create around 500-1000 pdf's per day.
To me this seems like it should be quite a simple task but I can't find anything which gives me a starting point.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Nick Smith

Hi Nick,
Just curious if you figured out how to generate a PDF out of a template? I've a similar requirement where I transform XML schemas into templates, convert the template into a PDF document, and at run time bind the PDF with the form data.
To sort of answer your question of how to bind an XML instance file to a form, if that form is an XML-FORM, then all you'd need to do is open that document as a PDF document using the PDFFactory, and invoke the importFormData() method on it, passing the XML instance as the input stream.
The harder part though is getting the PDF out of the template in the first place, without using any adobe user interface period.

Script to automatically create fill colors combination

Good evening everyone,
I'll try to be as clear as I can I am a noob in scripting and even worse at coding.
I need to automatically create all the possible pattern combinations with 6 shapes and 6 colors.
I have an Excell file with assigned color combinations (values from 1 to 6) in the rows, and the shape name (A to F) in the columns. Column 7 is a string containin the color combination names (i.d. 123456, 123345 etc...) so that I can output each combination with the color/numbers in the name.
I'd like Illustrator to pick every row and assign the contained colors to each shape of the column and to export a .png with the name from column 7 content.
Just simple as that! But to me it sounds pretty hard!
Is there a script that makes it already posted somewhere? - i couldn't find any - or something simliar to start coding from?
Thanks in advance for any help
Pippo

Thanks dude for taking your time to reply!
I am a noob at scripting, the only times I "scripted" was taking pieces of scripts here and there to create a routine I needed (things like batch resize, scale, change format, trim and so on..very easy stuff!).
And I don't know about variable data, even if I am going to read about it straight away.
I found this http://forums.adobe.com/message/3327902 and I thought it'd be the way, but I then realized I am too noob and the time is short so I thought maybe I could find something half-way ready to start from
Cheers!

How can I automatically create the files with serie-name?

Hello, Everyone,
I have a question again.
How can I automatically create the file with a serie-filename?
e.g. I have a program, it will repeat 5 times, and every time it will create a bmp-file, and I want to let this program automatically save these 5 files with a Serie-filename like File001.bmp, File002.bmp, .... File005.bmp.
How can I do it?`
Thanks a lot.
Regarts,

Create printouts from data submitted in a form.

Long story short:
I'm looking to set up a system that automatically creates a document from data submitted in a form. So imagine I type "Jason" in the name field, "Orangutans" in the favorite animal field, and when I click print I'm presented with an A4/Letter document that says "my name is Jason and I love Orangutans" and the background is covered in cute orange apes. Where do I start?
Long story long:
I work at a computer store and due to my experience with Adobe products* I've been tasked with creating all the signage in the store. I've been doing all the signs for a year now and now we have a bunch of different signs that need printing every day. The most in-depth and time-consuming ones for me are signs for Trade-In computers. Unlike new computers, the specs are always different based on the particular model we buyback from the client. There are all kinds of fields that are different in each case.
As it stands, I have an illustrator file with all the information in the right place, and when a computer comes in I take all the specs, fill in the right boxes and unhide the image layer so I get an image of the corresponding model on my document. This takes considerable time, and means the process is specific to me, i.e if I'm not in the store, the computers don't get put up for sale beacuse we can't add a spec/price sheet.
What I want to do is automate the process so that anyone in the store can make these signs. All they will have to do is fill in a form (online or locally) that asks for model, year, RAM, HDD, etc**. Then when they click submit it returns a completed sign that they can print and put up next to the computer.
I'm not entirely sure how to accomplish this. I've looked at Adobe's free online FormCreater***, and I like the simple data output that it creates. However, I'm uncertain as to my next steps. I imagine I'll need it to send the results to a computer with blank templates for the Trade-In computers. It would then need to populate the applicable fields and automate all the work I usually do.
Where should I start? I'm willing to learn anything to get this working.
Thanks,
Jason
*Illustrator, Photoshop, Flash, inDesign
**Total of ~18 text and 4 image fields need to be changed per sign.
***http://www.adobe.com/ca/products/acrobat/form-creator.html

I'm willing to learn anything to get this working.
Excellent! Right attitude.
Where should I start?
With my favorite "graphics program": FileMaker Pro. (Yep. My favorite graphics-project tool is a relational database program.)
You see, you've discovered something that graphics people are discovering with increasing frequency all the time: Your project is not a graphics problem. It's a data problem.
Note how little of your problem has to do with graphics. Emphasis mine:
...we have a bunch of different signs that need printing every day.
the specs are always different based on the particular model
automate the process so that anyone in the store can make these signs
All they will have to do is fill in a form (online or locally)
an image of the corresponding model
See if this scenario sounds appealing:
You have on your computer a single file, named TradeIns. You or one of your authorized users doubleClick it. It opens to a nicely organized form that is completely self-explanatory; requires absolutely no training to use.
It's completely idiot proof. The user doesn't have to know anything about any graphics program. He can't break anything.
Consistency is maintained because everything that can be automated is. Dependency intelligence is built in. Popup menus limit data entries to legitimate choices (ex: Models). Subsequent data entry choices are automatically filtered based on data already entered (ex: RAM configurations limited to those possible for Model). User prompts and hints (highlighting, event-driven messages, tooltips, data validation, etc.) make sure that all required information is entered.
When the data entry is done, the user clicks a button labeled Print Preview: A3 Poster. The display automatically changes to a pre-defined A3 formatted layout with all the data graphically styled (Headline, descriptive blurb, bullet list of features, price, etc., etc.), the company logo and contact info in place, and a graphic of the appropriate model appears in the background. The user clicks a button labeled Print Poster. Next to it, by the way, is a button labeled Email Poster To...
If you want, you can enable up to five people concurrently to access and interact with the solution in their web browsers from anywhere. So the data entry can be performed by staff members who logon (according to access priviledges you define and control down to the individual field level if need be) in the office, from home, or even on their iPhone. Multiple users can enter/edit data at the same time.
It's 2:00 Tuesday when Customer leaves with his new machine. You clean up his trade-in a little; put it on the display shelf. Pull out your iPhone and take a photo of it. Tap the specs in. The data, including the photo, are simultaneously entered into the database. You lock the door and go home at 5:00, confident that a formatted sales flier of "Just Arrived" trade-ins will be automatically emailed to your mail list before you get home.
You, having admin priviledges, can add to, alter, elaborate upon the functionality (ex; add an automatic price calculator) anytime you need, with no downtime on the system.
How difficult, time-consuming is this?
Once the requirement details are nailed down, and the raw beginning data for populating values lists is provided, an intermediate level FileMaker developer could build the above-described solution and have it up and running, ready for data entry, in less than a day, easy.
Cost? $500 for one copy of FileMaker Pro Advanced. That's it. (And...*achem*...it's not rented; it's a normal perpetual license.) And with it you can build an unlimited number of other data-driven solutions for your business. You can even bind them as fully-functional standalone applications which you can distribute without royalties.
Based on what you've described so far, the solution's starting data schema would be very simple:
Create a new database with three related tables:
Models
Trade Ins
Specs
The fields for each table would be something like this:
Models
Model ID (primary key; text; unique)
Model Name (text)
Brand (text)
Image (container)
Trade Ins
Trade In ID (primary key; text; computer's serial number)
Model ID (foreign key; text; value list)
Specs
Spec ID (auto-enter serial number)
Model ID (foreign key)
Trade In ID (foreign key)
Spec Name (value list)
Description (text)
You'd have two Layouts (screens): Data Entry and A3 Poster. You could build as many additional Layouts to display whatever combinations of the data you want for as many purposes as you may encounter. Export to PDFs or Excel spreadsheets any time. Build automated reports with live graphs, use conditional formatting, automate with scripts, etc., etc.
Marvelous program. Every business should have it.

In sm30, when save, how to fill the table with the system data in the table

Hi all, in SM30, we have user name and time fields, when we create record, after we click the SAVE button, it will automatically fill the fields with the system data, how can we realize it?

Hi ,
Do like this.
1. Go to SE11 -> give your table name and press on change button .
2.Go to Menu->Utilities-> Table Maintainance Generator , then it will take you another screen .
3.Assign Functin group if already have one , other wise create function group and assign
4.Go to Menu->Environment->Modification->Events , again it will take you to another screen
5.Click on new entries
->Now press F4 in T column . Select<u> "01" - Before saving the data in the database</u> and in form routinue give any name of the routinue like "SAVE_USER_DATA" and press enter then u can see an editor symbol in next column click on that it will take you ABAP editor there type this code .
ztable-username = sy-uname.
ztable-createtime = sy-uziet.
check and activate the code .
With this your job will be complete . Now while entering data just leave columns blank , they will insert corresponding username and time
Don't forget award points if it helps you.

Steps to create customized Master data infoobjects in BI 7

Hi all,
Can anyone please send the detailed steps to create customized master data infoobject in BI7,and also the data is to be extracted from two different datasources from two different source systems.
Regards,
G.Monica Roja Flora.

Some data modelling tips while creating master data infoobject and extracting data from different source systems -
If there are identical characteristic values describing different objects for the same characteristic in various source systems, you have to convert the values in such a way in SAP BW so as to make them unique.
For example, the same customer number may describe different customers in different source systems.
You can carry out conversion in the transfer rules for this source system or in the transfer routine for the characteristic.
If work involved in conversion is too great, you can compound the characteristic to the InfoObject Source System ID (0SOURSYSTEM). This means it is automatically filled with master data. The Source System ID is a 2-character identifier for a source system or a group of source systems in BW. The source system ID is updated with the ID of the source systems that provides the data. Assigning the same ID to more than one source system creates a group of source systems. The master data is unique within each group of source systems.
