Filtering by 'Blank' and 'Non Blank'

Numbers looks better but the lack of this simple function is driving me crazy.
In Excell, I could quickly sort a column by 'blank' 'non-blank' or a whatever else is in the pulldown (like a name) - and then get a count of those cells with that criteria.
How do I quickly do this in Numbers?? I know I can set criteria but I then need to know what's in a cell ahead of time.
I use spreadsheets to track projects and need to be able to quickly sort the fields while on a call - using Numbers for this is not working.

In Numbers, you can quickly hide rows that are blank or non-blank and then do the sort.
Click in the column you want to sort. On the the toolbar is a button called "reorganize", click it. It has three parts. The first is sorting. The second is filters. The third has to do with categories. In the filter section, select a column and it will let you choose filters such as blank, not blank, contains, etc. The rows that don't meet your criteria will be hidden and you can sort the remaining rows as ascending or descending if you want.
A count of the items that meet your criteria is not available as far as I know.
The Pages 09 users manual provides more detail than what I've provided above. The section on sorting begins on page 63.

I'm now using iPhoto '11 (9.3.2), and none of the photos in my library will enlarge. I can view them all as thumbprints, but when I click to enlarge just a black, blank space shows up. Occasionally, one will enlarge for a second, then disappear. Help!

Just to clarify, I am not getting an "!" mark in a triangle, as I read others have experienced. The screen is just blank except the grey flag in lefthand corner to flag the photo.

Filtering merged and non merged columns

Hi there,
I have an excel spreadsheet that has both merged and non merged columns. I want to filter a row that has got merged column and non merged columns. But when I filter it only takes the first line, rather than the merged and non merged columns.
Any ideas are appriciated.
Thanks

As you have found, (vertical) merging and filtering do not go together. The value of a merged area only "lives" in the top left cell of the area, the other cells are blank.
I would unmerge the cells and fill the values down into the blank cells. You should then be able to filter normally.

Inventory and non Inventory

Difference between inventory purchase and non Inventory purchase and where are you posting

Dear
Inventory PO
The purchase made for inventory i.e., to keep it in stock.
These are account assignement in the PO is blank or "Q" if valuated for project or "E" for slaes order.
Non-Inventory PO
The purchase made for consumption i.e., on making Goods receipt for this PO the material will get consumed for cost center or order.
The account assignment in PO will be "K" or "F".

Condition Type VPRS to br made as mandatory and Non Zero

Dear Experts,
In the pricing procedure i want to make condition type VPRS (Stansard Price) as mandatory and non Zero. It means system should give an error message if the value for condition tye ZPRS is either blank or Zero. I know how to make this condition ZPRS as mandaory but dont know how to mark as non zero.
Pl guide on the same.
Thanks in advance.
Pallavi

Hello,
Please ensure to have the below setting in place as far the pricing condition type ZPRS is concerned.
Subtotal will be "B" and Requirement should be "4".
"Condition category" of the Pricing Condition Type should be G.
Maintain the Price values at Accounting tab 1 of the Material Master record so that when Sales Order is processed the value will be picked from Material master.
There should not any access sequence assigned to this Pricing Condition Type.
Kindly update this thread based on above suggestion so this issue can be resolved.

AppleScript - Writing to non-existent directories, and non-existent files..

All,
AppleScript - Writing to non-existent directories, and non-existent files...
Creating directories several levels deep on the fly.
How do we write to a file that does not exist, buried deep down in a hierarchy of directories that don't exist either...
In trying to do this I explored two options. One used AppleScript, assisted by UNIX, which was simplicity itself, the other one used only AppleScript and was considerably more complex, and slower.

Collective and NOn-collective order fields???

i am not able to find which table contains Collective and Non-collective orders field in Production Order Change (CO02)???

Hi,
Please check the table AFKO.
If AFKO-LEAD_AUFNR is same as AFUK-AUFNR, then it is collective Order.
if AFKO-LEAD_AUFNR is blank or space, then it is normal Order.
If you want to check whether the material is collective or not, you can find the same in MARC-SOBSL = 52.
Hope this is useful response for your query.

hello..i have IPhone 4S i did reset to factory settings by fault and till now after a 2 hours waiting (as known it takes a 1 to 2 minutes maximum) there is nothing just a blank screen and a running waiting icon in the middle of the screen and none of home or turn off button are responsed so i do need your help plz & thanks in advance..

Try to reset it by holding the power an home buttons at the same time until you see the Apple logo, then release. If it won't reset, you'll probably have to force it into recovery mode and restore it, as explained here: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1808.

Valuated and non valuated stock

Dear Experts,
I have 20 thousand PO i need to identify Valuated and non valuated stock, can any body suggest me how i will go about this
Any standard report is there or from tables ?
Thanks
Raj

Hello,
If you want to take report for Stock and Non-stock(consumables) items then you can execute ME2L and Filter with Account assignment category.Blank and Non blank as mentioned above.
But if you want to take a report for Valuated and Non valuated then You have to take a report from Tables
Go to SE16 enter Table EKPO
Restrict the Entries with "changed on date" and Doc. Category " F".
execute the entries,then download into excel and filter the datum with the Field
Field Label:GR non-Valuated.
Field name: EKPO- WEUNB
Hope it is ok.

Serialised and non serialised

Hi
What is the concept of serialized and non serialized material in the SAP.
Regards
Raj.

Hi,
You can determine whether a Material can be serialised or not using its Serial Number Profile(SERNP) in the Database Table MARC. A material can be a serialised material in One Plant whereas another Plant can choose it to be a non-serialised material.
Any Material with a Non-Blank SERNP value is a serialised Material for that Plant.
You can find this field on the Sales: General/Plant Data in the Material Master Transaction (MM01/MM02/MM03).

Unicode and non-unicode string data types Issue with 2008 SSIS Package

Hi All,
I am converting a 2005 SSIS Package to 2008. I have a task which has SQL Server as the source and Oracle as the destination. I copy the data from a SQL server view with a field nvarchar(10) to a field of a oracle table varchar(10). The package executes fine
on my local when i use the data transformation task to convert to DT_STR. But when I deploy the dtsx file on the server and try to run from an SQL Job Agent it gives me the unicode and non-unicode string data types error for the field. I have checked the registry
settings and its the same in my local and the server. Tried both the data conversion task and Derived Column task but with no luck. Pls suggest me what changes are required in my package to run it from the SQL Agent Job.
Thanks.

What is Unicode and non Unicode data formats
Unicode :
A Unicode character takes more bytes to store the data in the database. As we all know, many global industries wants to increase their business worldwide and grow at the same time, they would want to widen their business by providing
services to the customers worldwide by supporting different languages like Chinese, Japanese, Korean and Arabic. Many websites these days are supporting international languages to do their business and to attract more and more customers and that makes life
easier for both the parties.
To store the customer data into the database the database must support a mechanism to store the international characters, storing these characters is not easy, and many database vendors have to revised their strategies and come
up with new mechanisms to support or to store these international characters in the database. Some of the big vendors like Oracle, Microsoft, IBM and other database vendors started providing the international character support so that the data can be stored
and retrieved accordingly to avoid any hiccups while doing business with the international customers.
The difference in storing character data between Unicode and non-Unicode depends on whether non-Unicode data is stored by using double-byte character sets. All non-East Asian languages and the Thai language store non-Unicode characters
in single bytes. Therefore, storing these languages as Unicode uses two times the space that is used specifying a non-Unicode code page. On the other hand, the non-Unicode code pages of many other Asian languages specify character storage in double-byte character
sets (DBCS). Therefore, for these languages, there is almost no difference in storage between non-Unicode and Unicode.
Encoding Formats:
Some of the common encoding formats for Unicode are UCS-2, UTF-8, UTF-16, UTF-32 have been made available by database vendors to their customers. For SQL Server 7.0 and higher versions Microsoft uses the encoding format UCS-2 to store the UTF-8 data. Under
this mechanism, all Unicode characters are stored by using 2 bytes.
Unicode data can be encoded in many different ways. UCS-2 and UTF-8 are two common ways to store bit patterns that represent Unicode characters. Microsoft Windows NT, SQL Server, Java, COM, and the SQL Server ODBC driver and OLEDB
provider all internally represent Unicode data as UCS-2.
The options for using SQL Server 7.0 or SQL Server 2000 as a backend server for an application that sends and receives Unicode data that is encoded as UTF-8 include:
For example, if your business is using a website supporting ASP pages, then this is what happens:
If your application uses Active Server Pages (ASP) and you are using Internet Information Server (IIS) 5.0 and Microsoft Windows 2000, you can add "<% Session.Codepage=65001 %>" to your server-side ASP script.
This instructs IIS to convert all dynamically generated strings (example: Response.Write) from UCS-2 to UTF-8 automatically before sending them to the client.
If you do not want to enable sessions, you can alternatively use the server-side directive "<%@ CodePage=65001 %>".
Any UTF-8 data sent from the client to the server via GET or POST is also converted to UCS-2 automatically. The Session.Codepage property is the recommended method to handle UTF-8 data within a web application. This Codepage
setting is not available on IIS 4.0 and Windows NT 4.0.
Sorting and other operations :
The effect of Unicode data on performance is complicated by a variety of factors that include the following:
1. The difference between Unicode sorting rules and non-Unicode sorting rules
2. The difference between sorting double-byte and single-byte characters
3. Code page conversion between client and server
Performing operations like >, <, ORDER BY are resource intensive and will be difficult to get correct results if the codepage conversion between client and server is not available.
Sorting lots of Unicode data can be slower than non-Unicode data, because the data is stored in double bytes. On the other hand, sorting Asian characters in Unicode is faster than sorting Asian DBCS data in a specific code page,
because DBCS data is actually a mixture of single-byte and double-byte widths, while Unicode characters are fixed-width.
Non-Unicode :
Non Unicode is exactly opposite to Unicode. Using non Unicode it is easy to store languages like ‘English’ but not other Asian languages that need more bits to store correctly otherwise truncation will occur.
Now, let’s see some of the advantages of not storing the data in Unicode format:
1. It takes less space to store the data in the database hence we will save lot of hard disk space.
2. Moving of database files from one server to other takes less time.
3. Backup and restore of the database makes huge impact and it is good for DBA’s that it takes less time
Non-Unicode vs. Unicode Data Types: Comparison Chart
The primary difference between unicode and non-Unicode data types is the ability of Unicode to easily handle the storage of foreign language characters which also requires more storage space.
Non-Unicode
Unicode
(char, varchar, text)
(nchar, nvarchar, ntext)
Stores data in fixed or variable length
Same as non-Unicode
char: data is padded with blanks to fill the field size. For example, if a char(10) field contains 5 characters the system will pad it with 5 blanks
nchar: same as char
varchar: stores actual value and does not pad with blanks
nvarchar: same as varchar
requires 1 byte of storage
requires 2 bytes of storage
char and varchar: can store up to 8000 characters
nchar and nvarchar: can store up to 4000 characters
Best suited for US English: "One problem with data types that use 1 byte to encode each character is that the data type can only represent 256 different characters. This forces multiple
encoding specifications (or code pages) for different alphabets such as European alphabets, which are relatively small. It is also impossible to handle systems such as the Japanese Kanji or Korean Hangul alphabets that have thousands of characters."1
Best suited for systems that need to support at least one foreign language: "The Unicode specification defines a single encoding scheme for most characters widely used in businesses around the world.
All computers consistently translate the bit patterns in Unicode data into characters using the single Unicode specification. This ensures that the same bit pattern is always converted to the same character on all computers. Data can be freely transferred
from one database or computer to another without concern that the receiving system will translate the bit patterns into characters incorrectly.

I Dislike the Terms "Destructive" and "Non-Destructive" Editing

Some folks in the Photoshop realm use the terms "destructive" and "non-destructive" to describe ways of using Photoshop in which transforms are applied directly to pixel values vs. being applied via layers or smart filters or smart objects or other means.
Do you realize that the term "destructive" is actually mildly offensive to those who know what they're doing and choose to alter their pixel values on purpose?
I understand that teaching new people to use Photoshop in a way that doesn't "destroy" their original image data is generally a good thing, and I'm willing to overlook the use of the term as long as you don't confront me and tell me what I'm doing when I choose to alter pixel values is "wrong" (or when I choose to advise others on doing so).
For that people who claim editing pixel values is "destructive", I offer this one response, which is generally valuable advice, in return:
Never overwrite your original file.
There. The "destruction" has ceased utterly.
It's common sense, really. You might want to use that file for something else in the future.
If you shoot in raw mode with a digital camera, then you actually can't overwrite your raw files. That's a handy side effect, though some don't use raw mode or even start working with digital photographs.
In any case, when you open your image consider getting in the habit of immediately doing File - Save As and creating a .psd or .tif elsewhere, so that you can subsequently do File - Save to save your intermediate results.
There can actually be many advantages to altering pixel values, if you know what you're doing and choose to do so. But sometimes even the most adept Photoshop user might find that a given step created a monster; that's okay, there's a multi-step History palette for going back. I normally set mine to keep a deep history, to give me a safety net if I DO do something wrong, though I tend to use it rarely.
And for those who would tout the disadvantages to editing "destructively", there can be huge disadvantages to doing it "non-destructively" as well... Accumulating a large number of layers slows things down and can use a lot of RAM... With downsized zooms the mixing can yield posterization that isn't really there, or gee whiz, just TRY finding a computer fast enough to use smart filters in a meaningful way. Just the concept of layers, if one hasn't worked out how layer data is combined in one's own mind, can be daunting to a new person!
So I ask that you please stop saying that the "only" or "best" way to use Photoshop is to edit "non-destructively". There are folks who feel that is offensive and arrogant. I think the one thing everyone can agree upon is that THERE IS NO ONE OR BEST WAY TO USE PHOTOSHOP!
You go ahead and do your editing your way. I prefer to do "constructive" editing.
Thanks for listening to my rant.

When you alter image data in a manner that cannot be reverted, you have destroyed it.
Really?
That's one of those things that one is not supposed to question. It just sounds so right!
Problem is, it's insufficient in and of itself, and misleading... It's a rule of thumb that's way too general.
What IS "data" anyway? Arrangement of magnetic spots on a disk? My disk is still whole, so we're not talking about physical destruction here.
One could argue that all the data is all still there in many cases of pixel-value-change editing (e.g., where there has been no resizing). The image file is the same size! Same amount of data.
Upsampling, or making a copy of an image is actually creating more data, not destroying data. Thus there is no general "destruction", but the terms "construction" or "creation" could be used.
But wait, perhaps you're really talking about destroying information, not data... Well...
As it turns out the term "destructive" is still off base. I have altered the information, possibly even adding important information. If I make a copy this is a no brainer. Even if I don't, depending on a person's skill in editing, the altered result could still carry all the original information that was important plus information added by editing, and be quite possibly better for its intended purpose (human consumption) than the image before the edit. That's the goal!
So now we're talking about important information vs. unimportant information. And of course we're talking about fitness for a future purpose.
As with anything, there are multiple ways to get there and multiple ways to interpret the words.
The term "destructive" in my opinion was invented to further someone's agenda.

Standard and Non-standard exports and queries issue

Hi,
We have created a few STANDARD books with standard exports in them. The standard exports use standard queries.
The ISSUE is that in the Verifications/Filters tab, where we have put in a lot of queries - ONLY the STANDARD queries show up. We would like to have all the queries show up. I am the adminsitrator and still only the standard ones show up.
I am worried that if I "Save As" the export as a non-standard export, it does not allow me to uncheck the standard tick column and save it but I have to manually change the name of the export. Can we change this in anyway?
Is there a system preference where I can allow all the queries to show up in the verifications/filter tab at least for the admnistrators if not for all? Thanks
- Ad

Thanks for your input but DRM does seem to be behaving what you said or may be I am still missing something here.
I created a standard query.
I have a standard export.
Now, in the verification/filter tab of my Standard export, I am able to see my standard queries.
But,
I am unable to see the Non-Standard Queries.
HOWEVER,
If I have a Non-Standard export --> I am able to ALL the queries. This makes it a lot more flexible in doing things.
My question is the WHY are my standard exports not able to reach the non-standard queries. What I wanted to do a twist in my export for analysis purposes for a particular use. If non-standard exports have access to Standard and Non-Standard queries --> it just makes more sense to always use a non-standard export and create non-standard queries.

SSO for SAP and Non-SAP applications without Enterprise Portal

Dear all,
Is it possible to implement SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without involvement of EP at all?
I have gone through this link.
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm">http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/e5/4344b6d24a05408ca4faa94554e851/frameset.htm</a>
But I still i am not able to get the precise answer on how to enable SSO for both SAP and non-SAP applications without EP.
We have decided not to implement EP in first phase of SAP implementation. But we need to enable SSO for other SAP and Non-SAP applications.
A detailed description on how to deal this kind of scenarios will be helpful.
Thanks.

A client of our's uses SAP Enterprise Portal, and is using the SAP SSO, which is implemented with tickets, and requires the use of SAPSECULIB. My company provides an application for this client, and our application in hosted in our data center for the client, as a Software as a Service application, obviously across the internet. Our client, which owns a SAP license, has asked that we support the SAP SSO as a non-SAP SSO application. The client user's SSO ticket will be created from SAP EP, and then passed across the internet to our application, and we are to use that SSO ticket as an authentication ticket to our application. I beleive I know how to do this work technically, having reviewed the SAP document named: "Dynamic Library for Verifying SSO Tickets in Third-Party Software" Specification Version 2.00 December 2005.
My question is, does my company have the right to use the SAPSECULIB? Where is the official download and license download, that indicates we can download this library, and use it to support a SAP customer? We do not own a SAP license. Thank you for your help. I have searched many places in SAP support.

Outlook 2007 sends local mail and non-spam to junk folder

I have exchange server 2003 on SBS with OWA and several outlook 2007 clients. Email often seems to be sent to the junk mail folder by outlook 2007, especially when it comes from the exchange server (either local pickup or MAPI). This is definitely being done by the outlook client, since it never happens when the client is not running (for example, if outlook is not running and I use OWA, local email is never delivered to the junk mail folder).
I turned off junk email filtering in outlook, and forced the local domain to the whitelist (outlook refuses to add it with the gui, saying it's my local domian, so I imported it from a file), and it still happens before and after.
Any ideas?

If it's a local machine, try setting the account to not use cached mode. That should force utilization of Exchange's rules.
1.       Go to Tools >Account Settings
2.       Highlight your Exchange Account and click “Change”
3.       Uncheck “Use cached Exchange Mode”
4.       Click Next and finish
Note, this will not work well on a laptop that leaves the building, as it requires a connection with the server to view mail content.

How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null

Folks,
I have created a report in WebI and now I am to set up some filters as Null and some Not Null.
How can I set my WebI filters to Null and not Null?
Regards,
Bashir Awan

Hi,
As you said you could do it at the report level and also at the universe level.
One more way is to create the filters in the universe levele and add them in thequery filter.
Ex: in the filter you need to write :
Column1 is null and and column 2 is not null etc.
Hope this will help.
If this did't solve your problem then please explain it in detail.
Cheers,
Ravichandra K
