Filling in the Blanks - Formula for "specific" fill of blank cells

I am still in the midst of my super extended spreadsheet project and I have come across one more issue that I am sure has an easy solution (using a formula). What I have is a table like this:
!http://i142.photobucket.com/albums/r103/foenixfortean/Blanks.jpg!
What I need is for every blank to be filled with the previous word directly above it so the original file would end up looking like this.
smooth

tax-free
public
public
fair 1
fair 1
part-time
part-time
inland

another

agricultural

I would just do it by hand but seeing as how my spreadsheet has 60000+ entries it would be much nicer to let the computer do the work, right?!? Are there any formula experts out there who might be able to help me come up with one for this? Thanks in advance!!

You can do this using a simple formula.
To fill column B, for example, enter this in B2:
=B1
Click Accept, then drag the handle at the bottom right of B2 down to fill the rest of column B.
When you enter data in any cell in column B, the entered date will replace the formula in that cell, and the formulas in the cells below will copy the entered data into every cell below until blocked by the next cell filled with entered data.

Pls tell me the exact formula for calculation of Safty Stock with quality example

Pls tell me the exact formula for calculation of Safty Stock with quality example

Hi Devendra,
safety stock is a quantity of stock which should be planned to be in inventory to protect against fluctuations in demand or supply. Therefore it is considered in planning.
The Product Planning Details screen is mainly a planning screen, giving an overview on the planning situation for a product in a planning area. The projected stock reflects the planning behavior, displaying the shortages relevant for the planning run.
As the safety stock has to be always in stock, the projected stock takes it into account as an immediate demand. That is why it reduces the projected stock, for example, if the stock on-hand is 0, then the initial planning situation for the product with a safety stock shows a negative projected stock.
For more information please check the help document “Material Planning Settings “ under section safety stock which explain with pictorial rep.
hope it help you.

Hiding the blank cells in Webi report - BO 4.0

Hi,
I have created a webi report in which i have used different types of blocks
1) Form table
2) Verticle table
3) Horizontal table.
so now in real time there chances that some of the blocks will not have any data.(i.e it displays blank cell) in the report.
so now i have to hide only the blank cells and not the table headers.that means though the cells are blank i have to display headers.
what formatting changes i need to achieve this in Webi Report.
If anybody does this please let me know the step by step logic in detail.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Naga Nanda Kishore.

Hi,
We cannot hide specifc cells in WebI, however we can choose to whether to display or not empty measure values and empty dimension value.
So you need to select the desired block-> Right Click and Select Format Table-> Uncheck Show rows with empty dimension values or Show rows with empty measure values whichever is required to be hidden.
Hope this helps.

ME21N - in which table saved the release status for specific release code ?

and for the specific po number.

Hi
You will find all Release codes in T16FS
Release procedures are used in condition tables to control whether the condition types for these condition tables have to be read during pricing condition determination or not.
If the condition table status is released then only the condition types will be read during pricing determination. If the status is not released, then they can be used for information purposes or for simulation of pricing.
The release status is controlled by processing status too, which can be seen in condition record creation screen.
So in crux, the processing status with Release status help in simulation of pricing, blockign the condition records from being read during pricing etc.
For more information an F1 help on the following path will give you some more information.
SPROSD-BF-PRICING-DEFINE PROCESSING STATUS----Here read the documentation meant for this link. You will get some more clarity on this.

Encountering problems getting the median value for specific rows alone.

Consider the following columns:
Call Value
0.49
0.65
1.22
1.29
1.34
1.64
1.8
2.25
3.86
4.32
5.12
Median 1.64
Quartile 1
0.49
0.65
1.22
1.29
1.34
Expected Median 1.22
BO Returns
The first column in the table contains call values. The median of all the call values is 1.64. BO displays this value as is (correctly). In case of obtaining the median for Quartile 1, BO returns a null value instead of 1.22.
Can anyone please tell me what needs to be done in BO to achieve this value 1.22?

Hi Rajiv,
Following is the syntax of the formula for median values.
The Syntax is as follows:
number Median([measure]), where measure is any measure object.
Example
Median([Revenue]) returns 971000 if [Revenue] has the values 736431, 971000, and 5476652
Please note that the Median function in BusinessObjects works differently from the Median function in Microsoft Excel.
For odd number of rows in the report, the Median will take the middle value and for even number of rows in the report, the Median will take the two middle values and calculate the Average of them.

How can I save the cache/cookies for specific websites but delete all other cache/cookies upon exiting Firefox?

I am using Firefox 14.0.1. I have it set to delete cache/cookies on exit, keeping my "foxden" clean. However, if I want to save the cache and cookies for a particular website, i.e a flash game that will save my current level, I cannot unless i disable the cache -clearing feature.
I would like to be able to "add an exception" to the cache-clearing or at the very least, be able to copy the relevant files for that page and paste them back before opening Firefox again.
Any ideas?

That is not possible.<br />
You can only clear the entire cache.
If you do not want specific content to get cached or written to disk then you need to switch on Private Browsing.

For cookies you must not use clear history, but let all cookies expire when you close Firefox and make an allow exception for cookies from domains that you want to keep.

Recycle bin to show all deleted items on the site collection for specific user group

hi there, is there any way where a certain sharepoint group (i.e. site collection members) to view and restore deleted items on theentire collection, without giving them site collection rights orgive them more rights than necessary? we wanted to create
aSP group that has the permission to restore deleted items and give them to selected users so that our users won't have to contact us when they want to restore a deleted item

I don't believe you can. If an item get's deleted it should go to the first recycle bin @ /_layouts/15/RecycleBin.aspx
The Recycle Bin gives a site collection administrator
greater control when users delete files, versions of files, list items, libraries, lists, and folders from a SharePoint site by providing a second stage safety net before an item is permanently deleted from a site. When a user deletes an item from the Recycle
Bin, the item is sent to a second stage Recycle Bin (also known as the Site Collection Recycle Bin) that the site collection administrator manages. This article focuses on how a site collection administrator can manage the Recycle Bin for a site collection.

HT204266 Searching The App Store for Specific Apps?????

Apple products have changed my life for the better. Apple websites?... well let's just say that I find them difficult to use. Take the App Store, for instance, having just purchased an iPad I am interested in purchasing some apps to use on it. Alas when I check out the listings on the App Store I am unable to find the apps I am interested in. First off I am unsure which category to look in...would bird identification guides be listed under sports or reference? I checked both and neither appears to contain the birdwatching guide I am interested in, iBird Pro. Is there any way to conduct a search of the App Store for a particular app? I tried typing iBird Pro into the search window and it found nothing...
Thanks

Michael,
Problem Solved! If you can believe this if you go to the iTunes Store and click on the Browse Apps Store link at the bottom right corner of the page you will be brought to a page displaying the various App Categories (Books, Business, Catalogs, etc). In the upper right hand corner of this page there is a search box. I had typed iBird Pro and then birdwatching into this search box and got the No Suggestions Found error message. Today I spoke with a support person at Apple and together we discovered what the problem is. The search box on this Browse App Store page DOES NOT SEARCH FOR APPS in the App Store, rather it just searches on the Apple site. To search for apps you must do so through the actual iTunes Store site.
I pointed out to the rep (a very nice lady) that in labeling the option "Browse App Store" they are leading the viewer to believe that clicking on the link actually brings you to the Apps Store Page and thus should allow you to perform an Apps Search. She allowed as to how she supposed one might think that, to which I replied that it's not exactly "intuitive" to realize that clicking Browse App Store just brings up a dummy/model but non operative site.
Her reply to this?
Well it's intuitive now that you know it...
Bill Gates, are you listening?
Thanks again for your help.

When I create a PDF from Excel, there are blank cells in Excel document, when they convert to PDF the blank cells have data in them?

There are cells in the excel document that have formula's in them. The formulas are pulling data from other blank cells, so that is why they are blank in the formulated cells. So in Excel, they are just a dash. When I create the PDF, the document gets opened in Acrobat and the once blank cells have data in them. Not sure why there is data in those fields on the PDF if its blank on Excel.

Not really sure that I fixed the problem, but I did find a work around and wanted to post it if someone else runs across the same issue. Apparently the document creator used lots of custom rules and shading. If I pulled up the custom rules and shading palette and just unchecked both the custom ruling and shading boxes, it allowed me to create the print file correctly--the disappearing part numbers were on the new PDF. I didn't have to update the whole book which I didn't want to do because I feared it would mess up the rules and shading. Just unchecking the box before creating the PDF solved that issue for my purposes.

How to set up a formula for specific cells

I have a list of products with prices next to them. at the bottom i have a total cost of all the products but an added feature to the list, id like to "subtract" the cost of a given product from the total for the products that have already been purchased. perhaps via check box column or maybe a color fill of the cell. or if anyone has a better idea how to indicate that the product has been purchased. either way, my primary goal is to have the total at the bottom reflect only the products that have not yet been marked as purchased. thanks in advance for any help.

the first row is a header and the last row is a footer.
B11=SUMIF(C, FALSE, B)

The bookmark icons for specific sites are gone. How do I get them back.

The text of the bookmark is ok, but the little icon is a blank box. What happened?

Do you still see the favicon on the Tab bar if you open such a bookmark in a Firefox tab?
Websites that do not have a favicon show an empty square instead in current Firefox versions.
You can check for problems with the places.sqlite database file in the Firefox Profile Folder.

Keep Auto Fill Down A Column With Blank Cells

Hello,
I understand if one blank cell is left, auto fill cannot continue through out the rest of the column.
Is there a way to "trick" the cell into thinking there is information in the blank cell, in order for it to continue to auto-fill?
Please help

You could enter a space in a cell - it will appear to be blank. An apostrophe will work too - this makes the cell contain an empty string value.
