Filtering data as in excel

i am new to numbers and am looking for a way to filter the data as in excel. on both mac and ipad2. thanks.

"i am new to numbers"
The best advice you can get, then is to spend some time reading at least the first three chapters of the Numbers '09 User Guide. It's a well written and easy to read guide, available as a searchable PDF document that you can download via the Help menu in Numbers.
A search on 'filter', for example, will take you directly to the article Filtering Rows in a Table, in Chapter 3, Using Tables, written more clearly than I'd be able to do here.
Regards,
Barry
PS: If you're going to be writing formulas, you should also download the iWork formulas and Functions User Guide, also available through the Help menu in Numbers.

Filters and Export to Excel (BI 7 report in portal)

Hi all
We are seeing some interesting behaviour with the data being exported to excel.
The steps to create the problem are -
- run report
- filter to limit the data,
- "export to excel"
When checking data in excel - the full set of data (that is, prior to the filter being applied) has been transfered.
Could someone please confirm the following -
1. is this expected behaviour ?
2. are there any configuration items that need to be done to export only the filtered data as seen on the current report on the screen ?
3. any other suggestions ?!
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kindest regards
Karen

with your product version there are little options you have.
1. Upgrade to the latest SP and patch on XIR2 (SP6, fp6.4) and re-test
2. Upgrade to current product release.
3. figure out what has changed and how in the report and reverse those changes.

Data filter in Excel 2013 disappears when Excel is reopened

I recently upgraded from Office 2010 to Office 2013. Unlike the previous versions of Excel, the data filter in Excel 2013 disappears. Save the Excel with filters applied, close and reopen
the file, filter is not retained. Even the filter mark is not to be seen. Not sure if its a bug,
but there are other tiny such bugs were encountered in 2013 Excel.

Hi,
Based on my test, Data filter does not lost when we re-open the file in Excel 2013. Thus, I think it is not a bug. Thus, please provide us more information to assist you better.
Did this issue occur with the previous file that created with Office 2010?
Have you tried to re-create a new file to test?
If this issue occur only with the previous file that created with Office 2010, this issue might be caused by the file compatibility, pleases use compatibility checker to update the files:
https://support.office.com/en-ca/article/Check-file-compatibility-with-earlier-versions-d9856881-5875-4c58-915f-06859b2943a7
If this issue occur with all files even with a new file, please try to repair Office 2013.
Hope it's helpful.
Thanks

Refresh Data in an Excel Workbook from another Excel file

I have an Excel file that I need to use as a data source for a report that is generated from another Excel Workbook that I am using PowerPivot and PowerPivot with.
I make the connections and everything works fine, but the schedule to refresh doesn't work. I found the below, and another Excel file isn't listed as a data source that is can automatically refresh from. Doesn't that seem like an obvious miss?
Report data in an Excel workbook can come from many external data sources. You can schedule automatic data refreshes for these external sources:
•Power BI Cloud Service
*       Microsoft Azure SQL Database
*       SQL Server in Microsoft Azure Virtual Machines
*       OData
*       Basic authentication
*       Anonymous authentication
*       SP Lists
*       ProjectOnline feeds
•On-premises
*       SQL Server 2005 and above
*       Oracle 10g, 11g and 11gR2
A workbook accesses external data through an embedded connection string or URL you specify when you import the original data into the workbook. Data refresh reuses the original connection information stored in the workbook.
A workbook can have only one data refresh schedule. Typically, if you create the workbook you define the schedule.

Thanks,
Craig

It seems apart from mentioned sources no other source is supported, even I tried refreshing model having excel as source.

Data refresh of Excel file on Sharepoint 2013 Online (E3)

Is it possible to refresh data in an Excel PowerPivot model from external data (SQL Server 2012) on the
SharePoint 2013 Online solution that comes with the Office365 E3 plan?
I need to either have the Excel file itself on the public facing website with data refresh there, or possibly have the Excel file in a private Business Intelligence Center subsite and then publish webparts or whatever on the public site, as long as the charts
are refreshed and publicly viewable. I've found a lot of conflicting info on this.
Re
D

Currently, when a workbook that contains a Data Model is published to a library in Office 365, data refresh is unavailable.
However, you can use a PowerShell script to configure a workaround.
donwload this white paper for workaround:

Obiee 11g : Best practice for filtering data allowed to user

Hi gurus,
I have a table of the allowed areas for each user.
I want to show only the data facts associated with these allowed areas.
For instance my user scott can see France and Italy data.
I made a variable session. I put this session variable in a filter.
It works ok but only one value (the first one i think) is taken in account (for instance, with my solution scott will see only france data).
I need all the possible values.
I tried with the row wise parameter of the variable session. But it doesn't work (error obiee).
I've read things on internet about using stragg or valuelistof but neither worked.
What would be the best practice to achieve this goal of filtering data with conditions by user stored in database ?
Thanks in advance, Emmanuel

Plotting of graph with more than 4000 data points in Excel

Hi All,
I am fairly new to labview world. I am trying to plot out line graphs of the results from my program into Excel worksheet. I have huge set of data points(10000) stored in each of 10 different worksheets in MS Excel workbook. I am trying to compile results into last sheet as graphical representation of all the various dataset into 10 different graphs.
My problem is that I am getting error because MS Graph does not allow me to plot more than 4000 rows or datapoints. Is there better and cleaner way of programming this? Or if some one can provide an example of how to handle such case. I'll appreciate any help.
My goal is to able to plot one set of data 1st then I will be able to run through various worksheets to compile into standalone results.
ERROR MESSAGE: "Report Generation Toolkit: Graphs you create or edit in Microsoft Graph cannot contain more than 4,000 rows or columns, including row and column headers. "
Also for example if we run Line Graph example and change the # of data points from 100 to 4000, we get same message.
Error -41114 occurred at NI_ReportGenerationToolkit.lvlib:Excel_Insert_Chart.vi -> NI_Excel.lvclass:Excel Insert Graph.vi -> Line Graph (Excel).vi
Thanks,
Saurabh

Hi Dennis,
I am collecting waveform data from oscilloscope using labview in both data & graph format. So my program collects data for a particular operating condition & then saves the data on a worksheet. After it loads new operating condition & goes over same cycle. I have to save all the data points in excel for different use cases, which I am saving in different worksheet for each specific operating condition.
Since I already have data saved in excel at the end of test, I am trying plot each use case in the same report for study & presentaion after tests are finished. I have not been able to do so. I read the post which you have mentioned, seems like newer excel or labview version have same issue. I am using LV 9.0
I will try using decimation but if you have any better way of handling this problem, I'll appreciate if you can share that.
Thanks for your help.

Hyperion Web Analysis Studio - Excel Export Data PATH TO EXCEL

I have a problem with Hyperion Web Analysis Studio by Export Data (Path to Excel) function on every client (windows Vista - IE 7 - Office 2007)
The problem is when I try to use the Export data to Excel, the Path to the excel program is missing and I have to go manually over the directory and choose the excel.exe to export the report, when I restart the IE I have to do it again...
Hyperion support suggested I try adding the Excel path to my webanalysis.properties file
So I now have:
ExcelPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\EXCEL.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
EXCEL.EXE
WordPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\WINWORD.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
WINWORD.EXE
PPTPath=C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12\\POWERPNT.EXE;C:\\Progra~1\\Micros~2\\OFFICE12
POWERPNT.EXE
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
ResolveDimSetAliases=false
ExportDataFullPrecision=true
To me this does not seem the way to go
This did not correct my problem.
Any ideas?
thanks
Erich

Hello,
Even we have the same issue.And changed the path in webanalysis.properties file.And it worked in entire report but in drillthru reports, export to excel 2010 didn't work and prompting to select the path to excel.Does anyone has solution for this??

How do I read from a text file that is longer than 65536 lines and write the data to an Excel spreadsheet and have the data write to a new column once the 65536 cells are filled in a column?

I have data that is in basic generic text file format that needs to be converted into Excel spreadsheet format. The data is much longer than 65536 lines, and in my code I haven't been able to figure out how to carry over the data into the next column. Currently the conversion is done manually and generates an Excel file that has a total of 30-40 full columns of data. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Darrick
Solved!
Go to Solution.

No need to use nested For loops. No need for any loop anyway. You just have to use a reshape array function. The picture below shows how to proceed.
However, there may be an issue if your element number is not a multiple of the number of columns : zero value elements will be added at the end of the last column in the generated 2D array. Now the issue depends on the way you intend store the data in the Excel spreadsheet : you could convert the data as strings, replace the last zero values with empty strings, and write the whole 2D array to a file (with the .xls extension ) using the write to spreadsheet function. Only one (minimal) problem : define the number of decimal digits to be used;
or you could write the numeric array directly to a true Excel spreadsheet, using either the NI report generation tools or ActiveX commands, then replace the last elements with empty strings.
We need more input from you to decide how to solve these last questions.

'Driver]Parameter missing' Error while trying to pass parameter to MS query & Return Data to Microsoft Excel

I am trying to set up a parameter query using ODBC-Microsoft Query
to BMC Remedy The ODBC connection is "AR System ODBC Data Source".
I want to pass a parameter to modified date field and get all the remedy tickets for which the modified date is<= to the passed parameter date.
So in MS query, SQL-
the query looks like
WHERE ("Trouble Ticket"."Create Date">={ts '2014-10-01 00:00:00'}) AND ("Trouble Ticket"."Modified-date"<=?)
I am getting the data fetched from database in the MS query window, but unfortunately
When I click File-Return Data to Microsoft Excel, its showing an error: Driver]Parameter missing
I set the connection properties- parameter-Prompt for value using the following string.
Please help

Hi,
Based on the error message, I recommend we try the suggestion: Replace all "..." with [...]
http://www.pcreview.co.uk/forums/error-parameter-query-odbc-remedy-bmc-software-com-t3232964.html
Then, if you want to connect the Remedy's oracle database, please see the thread:
http://www.tek-tips.com/viewthread.cfm?qid=1123112
We may try the workaround: Write an Excel macro which connects to the database and fetch the data based on the SQL query.
Please Note: Since the web site is not hosted by Microsoft, the link may change without notice. Microsoft does not guarantee the accuracy of this information.
If you have further question about write macro, I recommend you post the question to the MSDN forum for Excel

List View does not retain date formats from Excel

i am using List View control to isplay data. When i scroll the horizontal bar inlist view, the date format changes to numbers. is there were to stop this happening.
regards
Chandra

Hi Chandra,
Are you getting the values from any live connection or is it static data from the excel file?
You can also try to goto properties of component and in the appearence tab,select the format of the values as "DATE".
Incase you are getting the values from the live connection, you can select a different cell which would reference to the data coming from the connection and use it into the components.
e.g.: if values are coming in cell"A1" then goto some empty cell as B1 and type in"=A1" and use this new cell into the component.
Let me know if this works.
Thanks,
Amit.

How to read the data from an excel file into MYSQL by java language

Hi all,
I have some data in excel spread sheet and I want to put the data into MYSQL data base. I created the tables in MYSQL> How can I write a program in JAVA that puts the value from excel sheet to mysql??
I would appreciate your help
regards

By typing code at the keyboard... but presumably you meant to ask what code you should type.
To get data out of Excel there are a few alternatives. The Google keywords I would use to find them are "java excel". I use Apache POI but there are other possibilities, I believe. As for getting the data into MySQL once you have extracted it from Excel, you would use JDBC. But you already knew that, didn't you? You did find the JDBC forum.
In general it's better to ask a specific question on a forum. If you don't have a clue (which is the way we all start out) then just telling people that isn't going to be helpful. The best you're going to get is links to tutorials, which you could perfectly well have found for yourself by simple web searches.
