Forms 9i - Cell based formatting like Excel in canvas

Does anyone know how to display cell-based formatting in a canvas, like how excel displays data. Example below
|_____EVENTS_____|_____2002_____|_____2003______|
|jlklsdjfkfsdlk__|_M Oct 13_____|__T Jan 7______|
Etc... Pretty much I am trying to display information is a similar format to notify users of important dates, that they may register for events based on the dates, but I would like to keep it in a excel cell format.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
there is no spread table functionality provided within Forms. You can use an OCX (client/server only) or a JTable Java Bean (Web only). If you try to do this with Forms native methods, then you better off creating your canvas as a forms based display and set itn size and location saccordingly.

Using the same format like Excel

Hello everybody,
I need to make a convention to a Time Stamp which should be interpreted as number in Excel ( see the below picture, format cell... number) and save the data to txt or excel file. The Point is I can`t save the raw data to excel , first I need to do a conversion as given.
How can I build this algorithm? and save my chart elements together with their time stamp like:
x1,y1,z1, time-stamp     ( e.g 100,100,300, 37918,87500 >>> means x=100,y=100,z=300 at 24.10.2003 21:00:00,10)
x2,y2,z2, time-stamp     (        101,102,301, 37918,87501 >>> means x=101,y=102,z=301 at 24.10.2003 21:00:00,20)
                                        (         105,100,300, 37918,87581 >>> means x=100,y=100,z=300 at 24.10.2003 21:00:01,00)
...x1000000,y1000000,z1000000, time-stamp
p.s: I already found the days which I divided the time passed after 1.1.1904 up to now and divide it by 86400 and round it to next number , this part is done but in excel after the comma is for the time e.g 0,5 means 12:00:00 AM    resp. 0,6 14:24:00 AM  resp. 0,51 means 12:14:24
p.p.s: x1y1z1 to x10y10z10 is 1 seconds , so each row is 100 ms !
p.p.p.s: I could send the date and time as sting to the text file but Excel crashes after few hundred thousand alues , so I want to do the conversion first in Labview and then save already converted values in a txt resp. excel file.
Pls help
pls see the picture below.

I think your problem is that you are using a comma has your decimal separator rather than a decimal point ".".
If you are writing out your various values to a text file and the values are comma delimited, then the commas you are using as a decimal point are being confused as a delimiter rather than being an inherent part of the decimal value. I suggest using the standard of a period as the decimal point (but I'm not sure if Excel would still have a problem if your windows settings are using an international setting of comma). Perhaps wrapping the text part of your time and date in quotes so Excel will import the date and time as a single entity rather than 2-3 entities because of the comma embedded in it.   But that doesn't explain why Excel would be crashing.
It sounds like you are already handling the 1/1/1904 in Labview vs. 1/1/1900 in Excel base date okay as well as seconds in LV vs. days in Excel..
(By the way, I think 0.5 in Excel is 12:00:00 PM not 12:00:00 AM)
Which version of Excel are you using? Most versions of Excel only got to 65,000 + rows. Only the latest version goes up to 1 million or something like that. Could that be the source of your crash?
Edit: Perhaps one other possibility would be to use another character as a delimiter such as TAB or any other character that doesn't usually show up in data files such as pipe | or tilde ~

hi,
in smart forms time format is coming to one variable time in this format 122637, but i need this format 12:26:37
plz tell me the answer.

Hi
Check this:
REPORT ztest_time_conv.
DATA: hour(2) TYPE n,
      min(2) TYPE n,
      sec(2) TYPE n,
      tim TYPE i.
DATA: time TYPE p DECIMALS 2.
DATA: timeformat TYPE sy-uzeit.
time = '1.38'.
tim = time * 3600.
hour = tim DIV 3600.
tim = tim MOD 3600.
min = tim DIV 60.
sec = tim MOD 60.
CONCATENATE hour min sec INTO timeformat.
WRITE timeformat.
BREAK-POINT.
PS:Code given by Vijay Babu Dudla in other thread..in ABAP general..when I pasted the link,it did not work..so I am giving it here like this.

Does SSRS dynamically set the alignment of table cells based on the majority of cell types in the column???

This is the first time I've run into this, but it appears that SSRS is setting the text-align based on the other cells in the column. I have cells being set with either a dataset item of type System.Double or to "--" when Is Nothing evaluates
to true. I never noticed before that if the majority of the cells in the column are Nothing, then the few that aren't Nothing get aligned to the left along with all of the "--" text items. And now I also see columns where the opposite
is also happening, where if the majority of the cells in the column are numeric values, then everything is aligned right, even the few "--" items there. I'm only using Default TextAlign and VerticalAlign, and no Indent, SpaceAfter or SpaceBefore,
nor any concatenated text or embedded preserved spaces.
Has anyone else in the SSRS universe seen this, and does anyone know why or have a good workaround for it?
Thanks in advance : )

Date format in excel

hi all,
i am using form6i.
i am writing data into excel sheet(using ole2 package). i have one date column among them. The date format in excel should be in 'DD/MM/YYYY'.
In my form i have date format like 'YYYY/MM/MM HH:MI:SS'. so i have converted that column using
TO_CHAR(TRUNC(:date_col),'DD/MM/YYYY').So i am getting output in the format what i need,but still in excel i am seeing data format as 'DD-MM-YY'.
is any conversion is required while writing into excel?
but when i set the excel data format should be in 'DD-MON-YYYY'
i am getting output as '26-JAN-10' but i want output in excel like
'26/JAN/2010'.
Please help.
Thanks..

If you want the field to be treated like a DATE in excel, you have to set the column-format to DATE and apply the appropiate Format. To get the needed ole-statements, start the macro-recorder, do the changes in excel and then check whats written in the macro and convert it to OLE.
If the field should only be shown as a date, you can put a ' in fornt of the date-value.

Conditional format of one cell based on contents of another cell

Preparing list of appointments for visitors with time for each. There are four possible status categories for visitors based on projected activity and whether they have shown up or not. (A Group Scheduled, A Group Showed, B Group Scheduled, B Group Showed). I've created the calendar in iCal with different calendars, then accessed that through Bento iCal Events. Bento adds the column with name of calendar from iCal. Info is now in Numbers. (iWorks 09)
It shows Title, Start Date, Location, Calendar. I'm adding more fields using Lookup in Numbers drawing on entire data base brought over from Bento. I'm trying to get what info I need, but none that I don't, so the form isn't too crowded and busy.
I would like to be able to conditionally format the Time column based on the contents of the Calendar column. If successful, the color of the Time column would tell me all I need to know about visitor status, and I could hide the Calendar column and clean up the form.
I hope I've described it adequately. Can this be done, and if so, how?
Thanks! Have a great Thanksgiving!

Does it work to format two cells based on contents of one of them?
Conditional formatting of a cell depends on the contents of that individual cell, compared with another value, so no.
But you could use a two-table approach.
In general terms, the technique is to:
• make the original table's cell fill transparent,
• Add a second table to the sheet,
• Set the second table to copy the control values into a column of cells,
• Select the cells in that column of Table 2,
• Apply conditional formatting rules for each possible control value (see below)
• Set the text opacity for these cells to 0 (full transparency),
• Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then use (shift and) the arrow keys to slide Table 2 behind Table 1 to align the highlighted cells with the cells to appear highlighted in Table 1.
• Set the colour of the cell borders on table 2 to none.
Using the information you gave regarding the calendar column, you'll need four rules for conditional formatting of this column. All are of the same format:
Text contains: A Group Scheduled
With the text changed to match each possible entry.
Regards,
Barry
BTW: by changing the width of the formatted column on table 2, you can appear to highlight as many columns as you wish on Table 1.

Way to make Reader Mobile (IOS/Android) to fill in form cells based on input made in other cell?

Hi, Is there a way to make Acrobat Reader Mobile (IOS/Android) to fill in form cells based on input in another cell?
I made a timesheet where based on an activity code input in a dropdown box the description corresponding the activity code is displayed automatically in another cell.(see below)
This is working flawlessly as long as I am using a PC, however does not work on any kind of phone.(I suppose this feature is not supported on Acrobat Mobile yet)
My question is if anybody can suggest an alternative method for mentioned feature which works also on phones?
Any suggestion would be much appreciated
In the Format field:
if(event.willCommit)
console.println(event.value);
switch(event.value)
   case "    1      01":
    this.getField("REMARK1").value = "Offloading";
    break;
   case "    2      01":
    this.getField("REMARK1").value = "Preparation";
    break;
   case "   19     44":
    this.getField("REMARK1").value = "Support-3rd party insp/contract.";
    break;   case " ":
    this.getField("REMARK1").value = " ";
    break;
Regards: Robert

Try getting rid of that console.println statement. If that doesn't help, it should work if you convert that from a format script of the dropdown to a calculate script of the REMARK1 field.

To format an Excel worksheet invoked by oracle form using DDE functions

I'm exporting data from oracle form6 into excel sheet using DDE functions.
Is there any DDE functions to format the excel sheet.

Maybe you can use format commands through DDE (if the DDE server suports them) but I personally don't know.
My approach is to record an excel macro which formats your sheet and then invoke the macro through DDE. You can fill cells with control numbers (like number of rows, number of cells) so you can make your macro even smarter by reading these numbers.

Conditional formatting of a cell based on a value in another cell

I want to change the color of the text in a cell based on the value in a different cell. How can I accomplish this?

drmjdoyle,
There Numbers User Guide, http://support.apple.com/en_US/manuals/#iwork, will show you how to do that. Also, doing a search in these forums will provide many hits answering your question.
Click in the cell you want the color to change: click Format > Create custom cell format, in the first dropdown in that dialog box click Choose Rule, then follow the prompts.

How activate celles between them (like in excel) ?

Hello!
I'm begining to use Diadem 8.1 and I would do calculate (in Diadem-Data) between cell from different channel (but not channel calcule), for instance:
                    Channel 1   Channel 2    Channel 3
line1                    a                  b            c=a*b
line 2                   d                 e             f=a*e     etc.................
The problem is that I ignor how activate cells bteween their (like in excel).
Thank you.

Hi Tine
I am not sure what you want to do. To get or set the value of a single value of the matrix use chd(i,j) in a script. The first index is the row number, second the channel number.
It is not posible to store the formular in the matrix, you have to write a small script.
Hope this helps

Manipulating the cell size in an Excel spreadsheet

Problem 1 of 2 (2 is in the same project but a different function so will place in separate post)
Using LV 2013 on Windows 7 with Excel 2010
I have a routine where I insert assorted data into an Excel spreadsheet based on a pre-formatted Excel template. Problem is, when one group of data is placed in the range of cells (ends up being a column because of the way the data array is formatted) that particular column width is reduced.
Because once of the cells automatically formats as the Excel Date / Time format (as desired) the narrower width of the cell makes the value unreadable. (Just like when a real numerical value is longer than the cell is wide, all you see is hash marks)
I verified my column width in the template is where it should be, it definitely is reduced when the data is entered. I also tried using the “Excel Set Cell Dimension.vi” to change the cell width back to what I need but it does not work. Not sure why. When I tried placing the function at the beginning of the routine, I think it created an error and the rest of the report/excel functions failed to work. I didn’t monitor the error wire to confirm this.
My next approach will be to write a macro in the template file and call this at the end to fix the cell width but this seems like the long way around.
Any thoughts on the best way to fix this? Or why the “Excel Set Cell Dimension” function does not work?
Thanks…..
