Filtering Multiple Columns at once....

Hi All,
I was wondering if anybody had a smart way of filtering multiple columns. I know you can use excel formulas (index, v and h lookup etc), to achieve this but i need to improve performance and would like to reduce the formulas in my design
Example
                    A                B            C             D                E        F
                Income     Budget     Profit       Profit
1 Area 1    100           50            10            5
2 Area 2    150           25             3             1
On the canvas I will have combox with the values Income and Profit and a scorecard component looking at columns E and F
When a user selects Income, data in A and B moves to E and F
When a suer selects Porfit, data in C and D mooves to E and F
Any suggestions would be appreciated.....

HI Bija
Try using Filtered Rows as insertion type... and also try using list box instead of combo box if you have space as we should always try to apply WYSIWYG principle and combo box is not very good
hope this helps

Changing scaling factor on multiple columns at once in WAD

I'm trying to create a command URL to change the scaling factor for all the columns of my report at once. I have two query structures (3 selection in one structure, 6 in the other), so based on the documentation I would have to create a URL like this (AAA/111/222 represents the 25-character structure IDs):
<SAP_BW_URL DATA_PROVIDER='DP' CMD='SET_VALUE_PROPERTIES' SCALING_FACTOR='6'
PRECISION='0' STRUCTURE_MEMBER_1='AAA' STRUCTURE_MEMBER_2='111'
CMD_1='DATA_PROVIDER=DP&CMD=SET_VALUE_PROPERTIES&SCALING_FACTOR=6&PRECISION=0&
STRUCTURE_MEMBER_1=AAA&STRUCTURE_MEMBER_2=222' CMD_2=...>
...and so on, with 18 separate command sequences. Is there an easier way to do this? I don't think I could spell out all 18 combinations anyway (AAA/111, AAA/222, AAA/333, BBB/111, BBB/222, ... , FFF/333) since I believe there is a limit to how long a command URL can be.
If I change the scaling factor in the properties box for one of the columns in the 3-item structure, it changes it for all 6 times that column appears in the report, but I can't reproduce this with a command URL.
We're running BW 3.0B.
Thanks,
Jason

Any ideas?

Update Multiple Columns when concerned about redo/undo log sizes.

Hi ,
I have update statements that updates multiple columns at once if any of them is changed. What I see that even though the value of column is not changed it still increases the redo size.
Below is a sample code similar to the ones in my code. Basically I check whether there is a difference in any of the columns to be updated and update all of them.
Is there a way to improve redo log size without splitting the update statement for every column that I will be updating. Redo/Undo log size is a concern for us..
For i In 1.rec.Count Loop
    Update employees e
       Set e.first_name = rec(i).first_name, e.last_name = rec(i).last_name
     Where e.first_name != rec(i).first_name
        Or e.last_name != rec(i).last_name;
End Loop;My database is 10g.

Muhammed Soyer wrote:
Redo/Undo log size is a concern for us..You are worried about the wrong thing.
If you are concerned about the amount of undo and redo, you should be less concerned about the small diffrence between updating 1 or 3 columns and remove the loop that is contributing to a massive increase in both undo and redo.

Full text query across multiple columns

In the SQL Server, when you do the full text query, you can specify multiple columns, e.g.
FREETEXT ( { column_name | [b](column_list) | * } , 'freetext_string' [ , LANGUAGE language_term ] )
CONTAINS ( { column_name | [b](column_list) | * } , '< contains_search_condition>' [ , LANGUAGE language_term ])
Where,
column_list Indicates that several columns, separated by a comma, can be specified...
* Specifies that all columns in the table registered for full-text searching should be used to search for the given contains search condition. The columns in the CONTAINS clause must come from a single table...
That makes full text query cross multiple columns very convenient. Are there any mechnisms in Oracle to do the same thing?
Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your reply.
I knew that you could build full text index for the multiple columns using Oracle Text. But that does not solve my problem, which is how to build the query to search multiple columns at once. Say, I have columns firstname, lastname, address, and email in the table customers. I want to get the results that ANY column contains 'bob'. In SQL Server, I can do
select * from customers where contains(*, 'bob')
that is. But for Oracle, I have to do
select * from customers where contains('firstname', 'bob') or contains('lastname', 'bob') or contains('address', 'bob') or contains('email', 'bob')
Can you imagine if I have many columns in many tables and I have to do the query against all columns in all tables? I have to dynamically get all the columns and then build the query string.
So, any better solutions?

How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?

How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers 3.2.2? I do a lot of rearranging and sorting and want to reference cells in other sheets. After entering the formulas (example: '=Sheet1::Table 1::H126') I will sort the table and the formulas will not move with the sort. I think I can fix this by going cell by cell checking the 'preserve row' and 'preserve column' boxes when editing the formula. I want to avoid having to go one by one. I know that checking the boxes creates a formula like this: '=Sheet1::Table 1::$H$126' I have also tried entering this manually and filling down but it doesn't include the preservations (the $$) in the autofill. If there is another way to remedy my sorting problem that would also be welcomed!
THANKS!!

The title of the post is this
How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?
I restated the Question as follows
Can "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be set on multiple cells at the same time.
In both cases it is not asked if multiple cells can be set to....
That is a given.
Step back a second... It is like selecting multiple cells and setting the text color of the currently selected cells to red. This can be done. More than one cell at a time modified because they are currently selected.
Whats is being asked is: if more than one cell is selected at the same time can the settings "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be applied. No table I put up will help with that question.
YES or NO
If YES how?

Fill multiple columns of the report at once ???

I have been told that when coding a Report, there is some way to fill multiple columns of the report at once.
Instead of
select
field1,
field2....
You could do
<????> filling field 1 and 2
My source was vague as to what kind of thing it would be that could give a value to more than one column at one time.
Can anyone help me here? Sorry to not have any more specifics.
Thanks, Wayne

You can have placeholder columns and assign the output of your select statement to the place holder columns.

We used to be able to sort by multiple columns/rows at once by right clicking on the header and choosing show more options-how do we do that in the new Numbers?

We used to be able to sort by multiple columns/rows at once by right clicking on the header and choosing show more options-how do we do that in the new Numbers? It doesn't appear anywhere. Do I now have to sort massive tables by each column one at a time now? Also there used to be an easier way to merge/unmerge cells without me having to go to the table menu each time. Am I missing something?

Multiple column sort is a missing feature in the new version. Hopefully soon to return. You can do a multicolumn sort by sorting one at a time in reverse order of importance.
For merging and unmerging cells, I select the cells and right click to bring up the contextual menu. Merge and unmerge are on the menu. You could also create keyboard shortcuts for Merge Cells and Unmerge Cells in the Table menu.

Place multiple columns (from a word doc) in a document?

Hello,
I am trying to place a word document with three columns of text in an indesign document. I tried changing the settings to "three columns" but that didn't help, the document shows up as one long column that of course runs off the bottom of the page.
What setting am I missing?
Cheers,
James

Placing heavily formatted Word docs is always an issue. InDesign treats the text as a continuous string.
>the document shows up as one long column that of course runs off the bottom of the page.
Could you explain this a little more? Are you saying that InDesign is creating a frame that runs off the page, or that you get a single column with only some of the text and a red plus sign in the out port?
I suspect the latter. There are a number of ways to place text, and options for how to do columns, too. If you've set up the document with three column guides you can flow continuous text into three frames inside the columns. Hold the shift key while you click the loaded place cursor to autoflow all of the text from column to column, adding pages until all of the text is on a page.
If you selected use master text frame when you set up the document, or put frames on the page before issuing the place command, you'll see the loaded cursor change from a square corner to parentheses when you are over the frame and the text will flow into that frame, filling from the top. If there is no existing frame, InDesign will create one on the fly that fits the guide width and runs to the bottom margin guide, but the top of the frame will be where you click. Subsequent frames when you use autoflow will start at the top margin.
As Scott said, you can also set a text frame to hold multiple columns, if you prefer. Both methods have advantages and disadvantages. Balancing columns is easier when they are in a single frame because you can adjust the frame size to affect all the columns at once.

How to filter rows where multiple columns meet criteria, ignoring rows where only some columns meet criteria

Hi All,
Question: How do I filter rows out of a query where multiple columns are equal to a single question mark character?
Background: I'm using SQL 2008 R2. Furthermore, the part of my brain that helps me create less-than-simple queries hasn't been working for the last 4 days, apparently, and now I need help.
We have about 4,000 rows in a table. This data set was generated from an exported report, and many of the rows in the detail table were not actual data rows but were simply "header" rows. For those table rows, most of the columns have
a single question mark as the value.
Some of the detail rows have one or more question mark values, too, so it's important that these rows don't get filtered out.
When I include criteria like "WHERE col1 <> '?' AND col2 <> '?' AND col3 <> '?' AND col4 <> '?'", all rows with a question mark value for even a single one of those columns get filtered out. How do I filter out rows
where all columns 1-4 contain a question mark value?
Thanks for your help,
Eric

I just tried to create to create a scenario for you. Please see ig you're looking for something like this.
Create table test_Question_mark
RecordID INT identity(1,1),
Col1 varchar(10),
Col2 varchar(10),
Col3 varchar(10),
Col4 varchar(10),
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','?','?','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','??','?','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','??','??','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('??','??','??','??')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','?','?','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('??','test ??','??','??')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('??','test ?','??','??')
--drop table test_Questio_mark
select * from test_Question_mark
select * from test_Question_mark
WHERE
(CHARINDEX('?', Col1,1) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col1, CHARINDEX('?', Col1,1)+1) = 0) AND
(CHARINDEX('?', Col2) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col2, CHARINDEX('?', Col2,1)+1) = 0) AND
(CHARINDEX('?', Col3,1) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col3, CHARINDEX('?', Col3,1)+1) = 0) AND
(CHARINDEX('?', Col4,1) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col4, CHARINDEX('?', Col4,1)+1) = 0)
--drop table test_Questio_mark
I hope above solution will help.
Thanks!

IMporting multiple albums at once: sort on date added AND album or artist

When importing multiple albums at once, iTunes ads them in the library in an all mixed up order.
This makes it very annoying to change song info. I have to multi-select songs from the same album (clicking while pressing the control button) and then change stuff.
1. Why can't iTunes automaticaly keep tracks from the same album together when adding new music from multiple albums?
2. Why can't we sort by added date AND another column like artist or album?
any solutions are very welcome
greetz

The order iTunes is showing the tracks can be changed. Select the album column heading to get tracks list in album order. Normally within an album the tracks will list in track order when viewing this way.

Multiple columns for more than one record?

Crystal Reports Xi
I have a list of addresses, etc. with attached route numbers. If an address has 2 different route numbers, it will appear as two records. Is there a way that I can list the address once, and have the route numbers just grow to more columns?
Example - Change this...
ADDRESS               ROUTE
100 Main St.             1234
100 Main St.             1235
To This...
100 Main St.            1234      1235
Note: An address may have one route number attached, or several route numbers attached.
I tried playing around with the multiple columns, etc, but it kept on having everything in the section become multiple columns, etc. Any help is appreciated.

multiple columns only work in detail section.
place your address without the route in the 1st details
then insert a 2nd details and place the route in the details then select multiple columns for that details section.
then underlay the first detail section and it should line up.

Playing multiple sounds at once

Hi guys,
I have this problem for some time now (I just havent got time to deal with it) - after latest installation of arch I am unable to play sound from multiple programs at once (eg from firefox and xmms). I tried to figure out alsa configuration for this myself but with no luck at all.
Could anyone please give me some hints what i should do to make it work?
Thanks.

Oss disabled no change at all. Meanwhile I disabled pcsp - just to be sure, that it doesn't mess things, but stil with no luck.

How do you apply an EQ filter to multiple clips at once?

i need to EQ a VO and rather than apply the filter to each clip serparately, is there a way to apply one filter to multiple clips at once?
thanks
carl

apply your eq effect to one of the clips and adjust settings as required, then select every other clip that you want to apply this eq to, and then drag and drop the effect (from the viewer) onto one of those selected clips ... it will apply to all those selected.
another way, if its the only effect on the clip, would be to apply and adjust the effect, select the clip with the applied effect and press cmd-c to copy, then select all the other clips you want to add the eq to and press opt-v to paste attributes ... in the window select audio filters (only)

Converting multiple columns into one.

All,
I have a requirement to convert multiple columns into one. Following is the pseudo code of current implementation. It unions the various columns ( col1, col2........) into a new column new_col. But perforamnce is extrmely slow owing to multiple unions. It may be noted that tables and where conditions of all these queries are same.
Can you help me create a more efficient query?
select col1 , col2, col3, col4 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition;Below is the query used to convert these columns into one.
select col1 new_col from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition
union all
select col2 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition
union all
select col3 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition
union all
select col4 from my_tables where some_cols = my_condition

Without looking at those things you could be barking up the wrong tree by assuming the issue relates to the unioning of queries or other such things.Well, might be.........
