Formula - word extraction

I have a formula that extracts the numbr after the x and is used in a calculation. Now the word "fix is being entered before the x5 and it is messing up the formula. Can someone tell me how I can extract the word fix or fixed from this string so my formula below works again.
STRING
fix - x5/zpwv/q2/r57/c89/zons/q1/r104/zbp/q2/r43/u10
Formula
IF Len({@Convert Labor Ticket to Lower Case}) -
Len(Replace({@Convert Labor Ticket to Lower Case},"x","")) >= 1
THEN SPLIT({@Convert Labor Ticket to Lower Case},"/") [1]

Hi Shirley,
This formula may be more complicated than you need but I have it searching all the elements for the letter x. I didn't want to assume it would always be in the first element of the array.
StringVar Array myString;
StringVar myNumber := "";
NumberVar i;
Redim Preserve myString [Count ({@Convert Labor Ticket to Lower Case})];
i := 1;
//Find the first element in the array that has "x"
For i := 1 to Count (myString) Do
    If InStr (myString <i>, "x") >= 1 Then
        myNumber := myString <i>;
//Check to see if the LAST "x" in the string is followed by numbers.
//If it is then extract the numbers otherwise leave it blank
If Count (Split (myNumber, "x")) >= 2 Then
    If NumericText (myNumber [(InStrRev (myNumber, "x", -1) + 1) to Length (myNumber)]) Then
        myNumber [(InStrRev (myNumber, "x", -1) + 1) to Length (myNumber)]
    Else "";
Good luck,
Brian

Numbers '09: Extract first word of a cell

I'm looking for a formula that extracts the first word out of text in a cell and displays it in another cell.
Eg, in Cell A1 I have the text "Bob likes to swim". I want "Bob" to appear in another cell.
I've found a solution for Excel, but it doesn't transfer to Numbers.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I have a contact list that I am trying to sort out and I need to separate first and last name.
The formula given here was great for first names, but I am having trouble with the last name:
Using this formula
{quote}=RIGHT(O3;FIND(" ";O3)-2){quote}
where O2 is the cell where I have my full name, gives any kind of truncated names, depending on the length of the first name. I have tried any variation for the last term (-2), but nothing satisfactory.
Now I have found this excel formula that I am trying to adapt to numbers:
{quote}=RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","*",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))
which should become something like that in my case:
=RIGHT(O2;LEN(O2)-FIND("*",SUBSTITUTE(O2;" ";"*";LEN(O2)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(O2;" ";"")))))
if I am not mistaken about the change from commas to semi-colon
{quote}
Any idea to what I should do ? Ideally, what I would like to have is a formula that extracts everything that is after the first word, so as to manage the name with particle and/or the middle names....
Thanks for your attention,
Colin

How to extract special characters from a field

Hi there.
I am a novice when it comes to Web Intelligence reports. I have been tasked with producing a final report that I can export to Excel which shows a project number and a project name. Very simple. Ultimately I need to import my final Excel file to a third party software. However, the issue is the project name field consists of special characters such as hyphens, parenthesis, asterisks, etc. I need to be able to create a formula which extracts all special characters and just leaves me with alpha-numeric characters and spaces. I also need to limit the character count to no more than 34 characters. I will not be able to import my final Excel file unless I can product those results. With the help of a very knowledgable person in the Crystal Reports forum, I was able to do that by using the following formula:
stringvar a:=left({Projects.ProjectName},34);
numbervar i;
Local StringVar fin;
for i:= 1 to len(a) do
    if a[i]in ["a" to "z"] then
        fin := fin & a[i]
    else if a[i] in ["1" to "9"] then
        fin := fin & a[i]
else if a[i] = " " then
     fin := fin & a[i];
fin;
It worked amazingly well in Crystal Reports but this report now needs to move to Web Intelligence. Is there a way to do this in a Web Intelligence report? Itried but the formula is not recogizable. I tried creating a variable and using this formual but I couldn't get it to work. I appreciate all helpful responses. The version of Web Intelligence I am using is SAP Business Enterprise XI. I am working in a PC environment using Windows 7 if that helps at all.
Thank you!
Lauren

Hi Lauren, Please provide with some sample data...
In SQL, by writing some Functions/Procedures you can eliminate special characters. Ask your database team to do that.
or
Create an object with the following syntax... It Works in SQL.
= REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE
(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE
(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE
(REPLACE(REPLACE(REPLACE([String_Object],'&',' '),'*',' '),'(',' '),'^',' '),'%',' '),'!',' '),'@',' '),'#',' '),'$',' '),'~',' '),')',' '),'+',' '),'=',' ' ),'-',' '),'_',' '),'/',' '),':',' '),';',' '),',',' '),'<',' '),'.',' '),'>',' '),'?',' '),'"',' '),'''',' '),'[',' '),']',' '),'{',' '),'}',' '),'\',' '),'|',' ')
Example: Input: '~!@#$%^&*()_+{}:"<>-=[]./\|/*-+ascdfv123'
              Output: ascdfv123

Extract 2 characters from string

Hello,
Can anyone help to create a formula to extract 2 characters from the left of "pp" in a field using CR XI?
Field = {MainEstimateDetails.JobDescription} (string)
Sample string details:
"Annual Report 96pp & Cover 12345" - want to be able to show only 96 (from 96pp)
"CTP A4 4pp" - want to be able to show only 4 (from 4pp)
The string length is variable and the "pp" will be in different places each time.
It is probably very simple, but I cannot get it

Hi,
You can use the InStr function for this. InStr returns the position of the string your are looking for.
NumberVar myPosition;
If InStr ({MainEstimateDetails.JobDescription}, "pp") > 0 Then
myPosition := InStr ({MainEstimateDetails.JobDescription}, "pp")
Else myPosition := 0;
If myPosition <> 0 Then
{MainEstimateDetails.JobDescription} [(myPosition - 2) To (myPosition - 1)]
Else "";
This is a bit longer than I would normally do it but... I use Instr to check if the field has "pp" in it. If it does it will return the character position in the field and I pass that to my variable myPosition.
If myPosition has a value then it parses out the two characters before "pp".
Good luck,
Brian

Seriously clever formula required...!

Dear all,
I have been trying to figure this out for so long I’ve actually lost the ability to even ask the question, but here goes...
I would like the information in the ‘Expenses input’ sheet (which is where I keep a running total of my business expenses) to be automatically summed (according to the category I assign the transaction) and displayed in the correct area of the ‘Profit & Loss’ sheet.
If I had a working formula, the ‘Profit & Loss’ sheet in this example should look like this:
CELL D20 = £197.50 (which is the sum of all category 'T1' transactions in period 'April 6th - 30th')
CELL D22 = £149.19 (which is the sum of all category 'T3' transactions in period 'April 6th - 30th')
CELL E20 = £197.50 (which the sum of all category 'T1' transactions in period 'May')
It may be worth mentioning that when a paper receipt comes in to me, I assign it a category which is written on it in pen before being filed away, this system cannot change!
In the interest of avoiding confusion, us English folk use the date format DD/MM/YY!
Any help anyone could give would be enormously appreciated. Once I've figured this out I'll be able to add an income sheet as well as a VAT (value added tax) account which will improve my quality of life no end!
Thank you.

Hi James,

Essentially, what you are looking for is a SUMIFS statement.
Here are two possibilities, both shown in the example:
The small table on the left is a representation of part of your Expenses table, showing the expenses in your example.
The two tables on the right are representations of the active part of your P&L table, showing category totals for the sample expenses in the Expenses table. The error warning triangles in the lower table are expected, and are explained below. Several rows are hidden to reduce the size of the screen shot. The tables differ only in the formula used.
(Upper example):
D20: =SUMIFS(Expenses :: $E,Expenses :: $A,$A20,Expenses :: $D,">="&D$1,Expenses :: D,"<"&EOMONTH(D$1,0)+1)
(Lower example):
D20: =SUMIFS(Expenses :: $E,Expenses :: $A,$A20,Expenses :: $D,">="&D$1,Expenses :: D,"<"&E$1)
In each case, the fornula is filled down from D20 to the end of the categories, and filled right to the last column.
As the second formula references the header cell containing the full date at the top of its column AND the cell containing the date in the next column to the right, the lower version of the table will require one column beyond the last one for which sums are being reported
Both formulas reference the Date and Time value in the cell in row 1 of their own column. This MUST be a true Date and Time value, MUST be the first day of the period to be summed in its column, and MAY need to match the format of the Date and Time value used in column D of the Expenses table. (Note that I used April 1 for the first date. This can be changed to April 7 if you want to eliminate any entries prior to that date.)
The category codes in column A must match exactly those used in column A of the Expenses table.
You will need to change "Expenses" in the formula to the actual name of your Expenses table.
Row 1 is a 'working row', necessary to the formulas, but optional to the user's view. It may be hidden.
Row 2 of the P&L table uses a formula to extract the month from the date in row 1, and display the name of that month.
D2: =MONTHNAME(MONTH(D1))
Fill right a needed.
Details on the functions used may be found in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide. The guide may be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers.

Is it possible to download only ONE MONTH of a calendar into iCal

I have downloaded an ocean tides calendar for a trip. I only need the data for certain dates, but I have about 8 entries per day for the whole year. I know I can turn the ocean tides calendar on or off, but I would prefer limiting the number of days the information was actually downloaded, so as to take less storage on my iPhone.
Hey, this would be a good option to have anyway - use data from date x to date y for year z.
Thanks, Jeanne

In Numbers you can copy a sheet and paste it into a new document. However, any formulas will not link back to the original document. You must "fix" the values. Copy a table, then
(Numbers 2) Paste Values.
(Numbers 3) Paste Formula Results.
Another way is to copy a table and paste it into a word processing document.
No matter what spreadsheet app, there is no way around this. Either "fix" the values, or send the source data.

Pdf one tab of a multiple tab Xcel document

We use pdf to send proposals. Our proposal document is one tab of a multi-tab Xcel document. In the past, it appeared that as long as the proposal document was the last (far right) tab, that pdf chose and sent just this document for processing. We have recently changed our proposal format, and now have approx. 4-6 tabs. The pdf is now grabbing the last (far right) document tab, but is also attaching several additional tabs, which are not for customer viewing. Any thoughts?

Crystal Report that reads from an XML file Datetime or Date

I have a Crystal Report 2008 that reads from an XML file, the source File XML Date data looks like this: 2008-03-10
But the Crystal Report interpreted by datatime, I need the Crystal Report to look like this: 2008/03/10 (date) not 2008-03-10T00:00:00-05:00 (datatime)
Look at an example (source file xml, report, and parameter file to execute report) at url: http://www.5websoft.com/sample.zip
Import the file in the design and will to verify that interpret incorrectly the fields of type date as datetime
not mapped currently for fields..
Help.....
Thanks!

You could always reformat the field to only display the date portion:
Format Field > Date and Time tab; choose the date style you need here.
Or create a formula to extract just the date and use this field in your report:
date({table.field})

Month data display

Hi all,
I have a month column in my report which contain the data like 2007/01, 2007/02,2007/03......I have t use that month column in X-axis of chart & it should display the data like 01,02,03........in report for that I have set formula for month column in criteria under ex builder as Month(a.monthcolumn) but its giving me the below error
[nQSError: 10058] A general error has occurred. [nQSError: 22025] Function Calendar Extract is called with an incompatible type. (HY000)
SQL Issued: SELECT "Facts Revenue".Revenue, "Other Dimensions".Area, MONTH(Time."Month"), Time."Year" FROM "Sample Sales Reduced"
how to solve that?
Regards,
Sonal

I think month function will work with date column and since you are not using date column it is giving you an error.
You can use below formula to extract month.Cast the column to char before using this formula
substring(a.month_column from LOCATE('/', (a.month_column -1)+1 for length((a.month_column ))
Hope this helps.

Display Month verbiage on chart but sort by month number

Hello,
I have inserted a simple bar chart (values by month for a single year) and my goal is to get the data values to group by month.
I found that I can achieve this by using a formula that extracts the month from my Date/TIme field MONTH({Command.OB_DELIVERY_DATE}).
This works OK and displays months as 1, 2, 3, etc. on my chart), but I want to display the month text instead (Jan, Feb, Mar)
I tried a second variable: ToText({Command.OB_DELIVERY_DATE},'MMMM')
This works in displaying the verbiage of the months, however, the problem is that it groups the months on my chart alphabetically now (April is now my 1st month instead of January).
What is the trick to displaying month verbiage on my chart, but still sorting these months in their proper numerical order?
Many Thanks!

Hi Dave,
Try this please:
1) Insert a Crosstab and place it on the Report Header. Use the Delivery Date field as the row and add the measure field as the Summary Field with the right Sum function
2) Highlight the Delivery Date field > Group Options > set it to print 'For Each Mointh'
3) While in the Crosstab Expert highlight the Delivery Date field > Click Group Options > Options tab > check the option 'Customize Group Name field' > Select 'use formula as group name' and click the formula button beside. Use this code:
ToText({Command.OB_DELIVERY_DATE},'MMMM')
4) Right-click the Crosstab and select Insert Chart. Choose the right Chart Type
5) Suppress the Section that holds the Crosstab
Hope this helps.

Time-series Chart

Warning, CR Newbie here so this may be a stupid question. I am evaluating the trial version of CR to see if it will be a good fit for an upcoming project. I've seen some related posts in the SCN, but no answers that quite fit.
I'm looking to create a line chart (or a scatter chart) with time-series data. My dataset includes a time stamp field (yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss) and some floating-point temperature values like this:
2014-05-01 08:00:00, 123.4, 115.1, 109.2
2014-05-01 08:00:10, 123.6, 116.0, 109.8
The desired outcome has the date / time along the X-axis with data points spaced proportionally in the X dimension and plotted in the Y-dimension according to the temperature. The interval between the time stamps is not always the same, so numerical scaling is required on both axes. The desired chart would show a temperature scale along the vertical axis, three trend lines for the three series of temperature data and times shown on the X axis label.
I've played with several options in an attempt to make this work. On the data tab, it would seem I would want to select "on change of" and then my time-stamp field. However, with this selection, I can only use summary values and end up with a chart with a single data point for each series. I don't need or want any summary calculations carried out on the data, I just want to plot it so I can look at a trend over time. I can get trend lines if I select "for each record" on the data tab of the wizard, but then my X-axis is meaningless and the horizontal scaling is misleading unless the interval between my samples is constant.
I would welcome any suggestions on how best to accomplish this with Crystal Reports.
Thanks for reading.

Jamie,
Thanks for continuing to reply. I am getting close, but still no success.
Here is the procedure I've followed and problem:
Put chart in RF section
Start Chart Expert
Chart Type = Numeric Axes, subtype = Date axis line chart
Data tab
On change of datetime field
Order... ascending, printed for each second
Values avg of my data fields (must select summary when on change of is used)
Right-click on X-axis label, select Group (X) Axis Settings
Scales tab: base unit, major unit and minor unit can only be set to days, months or years
I cannot set the minimum and maximum date with resolution other than day
Right-click Chart, select Chart Options...Axes tab: show group axes set to show time scale
No matter the setting I use, I can't find a way to adjust the resolution of the time scale lower than days.
I tried using a formula to extract only the time portion of my datetime field. I used that as my "on change" data series, hoping maybe CR would automatically recognize I was looking at a fraction of a day if I did that. No good - now it gives me a date scale with the dates showing up as the beginning of the epoch, but I can still only get resolution of integer days.
Thanks for your patience and persistence.

How do I apply a calculation to row of cells

Hi.
I'm using iwork '08 and can't find a way to add a value to row of cells, as per the Calculate menu in Appleworks. I'm trying to update a calendar from the previous year by adding a value of 1 or 2 to the numbers in all the cells so that last year's June 24 becomes this year's June 25. Does Numbers have a way of doing this?

Hi Barry,
Wow! Your responses to my problem makes a lot more sense when I can see the graphics you sent with them. Not sure what I was looking at, but it didn't contain the screenshots. Below is a representation of what I'm trying to accomplish. (Sorry, but I don't know how to provide a screenshot of the actual doc in this post.)
Screenshots are taken using shift-command-4, then dragging the crosshair cursor to enclose the part of the screen you want to copy. The file is copied to your desktop as a PNG (portable network graphics) file named Picture 1 (with numbers ranging from 1 to 10), which you can then go to the finder and rename.
Upload the file to a picture storage site (there are many free ones on the 'net) and store it in an album there. For most sites, clicking on your image (or just moving the pointer over it) will give a list of codes to paste into a message to call that image.
Use the one labeled HMTL. Copy the code, then paste it into your message.
You can see an example of the code used by clicking Reply on any message here showing an image, then clicking the quote button ( ” ) to see the text and HTML codes in the message itself. (Click the discard and Cancel button below the message space if you don't actually want to reply to that message.)
Hope the formatting doesn't completely go away when you get this.
It does, pretty much. The forum software parses out multiple spaces. Still readable if the reader has an idea what it should look like, and more readable using the technique described above for seeing HTML codes in a message.
Anyway I can't get the DATE or DAY functions to track properly between cells, because the DAY function converts text into a number,
DAY() does absolutely nothing with text, except return an error message:
"DAY requires a date but found a string instead."
A cell containing a Date and Time value may be formatted to show only the date portion in any of the following forms:
No matter which of those is visible in the cell, the cell does NOT contain a text string and does NOT contain a number. The cell contains a Date and Time value in which the Date portion is the value for the ninth day of February in the 2006th year of the common era.
and the DATE function converts a date into a number, and the the two functions don't play nice with each other.
Actually DATE works in the opposite direction. It constructs a date from three separate numbers.
The syntax is DATE(year,month,day)
DATE(2006,2.9) will construct the Date and Time value for February 9, 2006 and set the time value to 0:00:00 (midnight). Depending on the format set for the cell containing the function, the date will display in one of the forms shown in the list above.
Once the DAY function converts a date into a plain number, it won't reset after 30 and 31. In fact it seems to treat any reference to that cell as a one.
DAY does return a (plain) number in the range 1-31. If you add 1 to that +number+, you'll get a number in the range 2-32. If you add 1 to the +date+ that DAY extracted that number from, you'll get a number in the range 2-31, or if the new date is in the next month, you'll get the number 1.
Now that I've seen the graphics that were supposed to come with your posts, it looks like the answer may be a set of reference cells in another table that I can hide from view in the printed form of my chart.
There's no need for a second table just to get the day numbers in your example. You may need a LOOKUP table to convert the 1s to the shortened name of the current month, though, and that LOOKUP table can be placed on a second table.
Here's my take on the problem as currently described. Description below.
Column A contains the starting date in Cell A1. The format is set to display this date including the name of the weekday to ensure the calendar starts on a Monday. (Necessary because the weekday labels in row 2 are entered text, not constructed from the date information being placed on the calendar.)
A5, and every 4th row after contains a formula that adds 7 to the date in the cell four rows above.
=$A1+7
B1 contains a formula that extracts the DAY (of the month) from the date in A1, plus a calculation that allows it to increment the date when filled into the columns to the right.
=DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)
The desire to replace "1" in C1 with "Jun" (the shortened name of the new month) makes the formula a bit more complicated:
=IF(condition,TRUE: do this,FALSE:do this)
=IF(DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)=1,LOOKUP(MONTH($A1+COLUMN()-2),Month Lookup :: $A$1:$A$12,Month Lookup :: $B$1:$B$12),DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2))
condition: DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)=1
as above, the formula extracts the (adjusted) day number from the date in A1, then compares it with the number 1.
If they're equal the comparison evaluates as TRUE, and the formula does this part:
LOOKUP(MONTH($A1+COLUMN()-2),Month Lookup :: $A$1:$A$12,Month Lookup :: $B$1:$B$12)
MONTH() returns the number of the month of the adjusted date in A1, then looks up that value (6) in column A of the table Month Lookup, and returns the corresponding text string ("Jun") from column B of that table.
If the day number is not equal to 1, the comparison evaluates as FALSE, and the fomula does the last part:
DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)
and returns the day number of the (adjusted) date.
Constructing the tables:
Month Lookup table
Enter 1 in A1 and 2 in A2.
Select both cells and drag the coltrol down to fill to row 12.
Enter Jan in B1
Select B1 and drag the control down to fill ro row 12 (Dec)
Calendar table
Enter a starting date in A1.
Enter
=IF(DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)=1,LOOKUP(MONTH($A1+COLUMN()-2),Month Lookup :: $A$1:$A$12,Month Lookup :: $B$1:$B$12),DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2))
in B1.
Select B1 and drag the fill control right to fill B1:H1
(See optional formatting below for adding colour to month names)
Select B1:H1 and Copy
Select B5 and Paste.
Enter
=A1+7
in A5.
Select A2:H5 (as shown in graphic above)
Drag the control down as many rows as you need.
Optional formatting
The red month names on yellow backgrounds are created using Conditional formatting for the seven cells B1:H1 (and similar cells further down the table).
If you choose to do this, it's best to do so where "See optional formatting..." is placed in the instructions.
Select B1:L1
In the Format bar above the tables, set the Text colour to red and the Fill colour to yellow. (This will change the colours in all cells in the row.)
Open the Inspector and click the Cell Format button.
Click the Conditional Format checkbox to check it. Click Show Rules.
From the Choose a Rule popup, choose "Less than or Equal to" and enter 31 in the box that appears.
Choose Black for the conditional text colour and white for the conditional fill colour.
Continue with the instructions for Constructing the Tables.

Disk 2 taking hours

I finally got my video install completed - I swapped out a nicer AGP STB card for an older PCI Matrox card, and that was good.
I started installing disk 2 about 2 hours ago. I opened a terminal window, and a few files systems seem to be getting used. The CD-ROM LED is lit constantly. I see space getting consumed in /var, /var/tmp, and /tmp, but very little.
The install screen has the word "extracting" on it. But, the progress wheel is moving very slowly.
The system in question does have an old CD-ROM drive.
Does this sound familiar? Think it will ever finish? Will I need to replace this old CD-ROM drive?
Thanks!

Fixed - After replacing the CD-ROM hardware, I discovered that the CD-ROM media was bad. I re-burned disk 2, and all is moving along well.
However, in the process I found an interesting piece of information. I re-downloaded disk 2 - but the CD I cut of that wouldn't work because the version was updated.
U5 vs U6.
I now wonder what was updated in U6. Is it documented someplace what changes between the builds?
