Formulas and Rounding

Two things here that I've found problematic.
-How can I set cells to display the formulas I have typed into them, rather than the formula outcome?
-My Numbers is rounding 5s down, not up? Is this An American thing or a fault in Numbers?
Anyone got any ideas?

Mine (US English) seems to be always rounding up... 1.5->2, 2.5->3
Are we testing this the same way? I've entered some numbers (1.5, 2.5) and then referred to them in another cell with a format of zero decimal places.
In my experience there are three rounding schemes use to handle 5s:
(1) Round 5s down
(2) Round 5s up
(3) Round 5s even... 1.5->2, 2.5->2, 3.5->4, 4.5->4, etc, used so that on average half are randomly rounded up, half down.
Of these 3, I would say that (1) is least common. Are you sure that rounding is occurring? Does 1.6->2?

Issue in MODVAT Clearing Account and Rounding off of Excise.

I have one issue in MODVAT Clearing Account and Rounding off of Excise.
Example:
Material cost    100Rs.
Excise value
1. BED             10.5 Rs
2. ECes             2.1 Rs
3. HEces          1.3.Rs
At the time of GR
Material Ac Dr          100
     To GR/IR                        100
At the time of Excise Capture
We done the rounding of Excise value
RG23 A BED         11
RG23 A Eces          2
RG23 A HEces        1
   To MODVAT            14
At the time of IR . System create IR with reference of PO
GR/IR DR      100
MODVAT         13.9
    To Vendor         113.9
So here you can see that there is a difference of 0.1 in MODVAT account and hence we are crediting Vendor with the lesser amount here with 0.1 RS.
So we cannot reconcile the MODVAT Account
Less Payment to vendor by 0.1 Rs
So is there any solutions on that.

ASO MDX member formula and performance

Hi,
I am doing some testing about MDX formulas and performance. I found a performance issue but I can not understand why is taking so long time a report.
The situation is:
I create a report or a MDX query with:
6 dimensions in row and 1 dimension in column
rows:
Period - Filtered using a member
Year - Filtered using a member
Relationship Manager - Filtered using a member
Report Type - Filtered using a member
Local Relationship Manager - 4400 members level 0
Global Relationship Manager - 10400 members level 0
Column:
Account dimension, only a member
The member selected for Report Type (RM.Local) has a formula
My Report Type dimension has 10 members, there is one member where I store data called : RM.Input
My first test was
RM.Local his formula is [RM.Input] , the report is run in 1 second
RM.Local his formula is ([RM.Input],[MTD]) where MTD is a member level 0 store in my view dimension. The report run in 20 minutes. I was not expecting so bad performance when I only pointing at [RM.Input],[MTD]
Do you consider this time is reasonable when I am using this formula?
The mdx report is:
With
set [_Local Relationship Manager3] as 'Descendants([All Local Relationship Managers], 2)' = level 0 members
set [_Global Relationship Manager4] as '[Global Relationship Manager].Generations(4).members' = level 0 members
set [_Period0] as '{[Period].[Oct]}'
set [_Relationship Manager4] as '{[Relationship Manager].[Dummy1)]}'
set [_Report Type0] as '{[Report Type].[RM.Local]}'
set [_Year2] as '{[Year].[FY-2013]}'
select
{ [Account].[Expenses]
} on columns,
NON EMPTY {crossjoin({[_Local Relationship Manager3]},crossjoin({[_Global Relationship Manager4]},crossjoin({[_Period0]},crossjoin({[_Relationship Manager4]},crossjoin({[_Report Type0]},{[_Year2]})))))} properties MEMBER_NAME, GEN_NUMBER, [Global Relationship Manager].[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME], [Global Relationship Manager].[Memnor], [Local Relationship Manager].[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME], [Local Relationship Manager].[Memnor], [Relationship Manager].[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME], [Relationship Manager].[Memnor], [Period].[Default], [Report Type].[Default], [Year].[MEMBER_UNIQUE_NAME], [Year].[Memnor] on rows
from [DICISRM.DICISRM]

Ok Try this one
But here you have to change the MDX formula every month.
Year
--FY2009
--FY2010
--FY2011
--FY2012
Period
--TotalYear
----Qtr1
-------Jan
-------Feb
-------Mar
Let say if you're CurrentYear is FY2011 and you're Current Month is March then you're MDX will be
case when contains([Year].CurrentMember,MemberRange([FY2009],[FY2010])) and contains([Period].CurrentMember,MemberRange([Jan],[Feb]))
Then
B
else
C
end
For the Next month you just have to make a change in the MemberRange I.e.,(Replace Feb with Mar)
*case when contains([Year].CurrentMember,MemberRange([FY2009],[FY2010])) and contains([Period].CurrentMember,MemberRange([Jan],[Mar]))*
Then
B
else
C
end
I tested it and Its working fine.
I think this will solve you're problem but there might be a more elegant solution out there.

Error opening a Manage Report template with Formulas and Summation

Hi Expert,
My j2ee web application is setup is such a way that when there is NO connectivity to the Crystal Report Server XI, it will use the Crystal Report for Eclipse functionality and opening report templates located in the relative path - This works fine.
But when there is a connectivity to the CMS Server, I have this error when opening a manage report in Crystal Report Server XI that contains formulas and summations. But for other reports like chart and listings no problem.
This code triggers the error:
ReportClientDocument clientDoc = reportAppFactory.openDocument(infoObject,0, java.util.Locale.US);
I found out there's a conflict between CR libraries for Eclipse and libraries for RAS Enterprise Server XI.
How can I solve this issue so that I can support the two scenarios - with or without CMS connectivity, I can still view reports.
Error Stack Trace:

Hoping for your answers.

You must isolate the CR4E and RAS SDK jars using separate classloaders - simplest is have separate apps, if rolling your own class loaders is out of project scope.
They do not work together.

HT1414 Itunes just goes round and round when i tap on recent purchases and cant get at recent songs purchased on my non apple laptop. I don't connect my iPad to a computer. How do I tackle this?

When I open iTunes on my iPad and tap on purchased for music, the timer just goes round and round and won't find my purchased tunes and I can't therefore download any new items I have bought. Any suggestions on how to reload the software?

Make sure you have a good wifi connection.
Make Sure iOS is updated to the latest version
Reboot the device by pressing and holding down the home and sleep/wake buttons (power) at the same time until the apple logo appears on the screen, then let go.
If that doesn't work then reset the device by going to settings/general/reset/reset all settings

Went to use my ipad tonight and the screen is blank except for a little circle going round and round and I ccant switch the device off

Went to use my ipad tonight and the screen is black with just a small circle in the middle going round and round. I thought i would switch it off but it wont let me do that either. HELP

Try a soft-reset : press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds, after which the Apple logo should appear and it should reboot - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

How do i cancel after the circles of hell go round and round?

I have been in the circles of hell trying to cancel my subscription which my credit card, i was surprised to learn, had been charged for- only to find it is already cancelled! See below
Adobe ExportPDF, Annual
Cancelled: Effective February 2, 2016
Restart
But I have just been billed for it anyway. And probably be billed for it in another year - 2016. And then it will probably "automatically" (see fine print) restart.and so on till i am very very old. interesting to see on other posts that cancelling the credit card does not help which seems odd but then again after two hours of wandering round and round the site (love the hilarity of the non-functioning chat icon - much hilarity every Christmas in the accounting department.) I'm not surprised. It is clear that adobe has one of the most difficult "unsubscribes" online. Despite the professionals hunting them down and killing them, there are still websites devoted to the topic of why can't I unsubscribe and why is this so hard and surely this is illegal. Adobe clearly makes most of its money out of the unsubscribe because the two products I bought didn't work anyway. Fair enough, should have known, but remind me to employ a lawyer in future before even opening an adobe document.

Hi there,
Sorry for the frustrating experience, looking at the account I could see the billing has been stopped for the subscription and you will continue to have the access to software till 2016.
Please update this thread if you would like to cancel the subscription and get refund.

Difference between New Formula and Formula Variable

Can any body explain what is the difference between New Formula and Formula Variable.
Thanks

Hi,
Formula:http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/d3/8057f830a911d4b2be0050dadfb23f/frameset.htm
Formula Variable:If you want use variables in the formulas of a form, you need to use formula variables. You can use formula variables only in form reports, and must define them in the form itself. They can be replaced in the same ways as text variables when you execute the report.

Issues while building formulas and expressions

Hi,
I have a couple of questions regarding the formulas and expressions in MDM. It would be a great help if someone could us on these:
<b>1</b>.While creating a Syndication map in MDM Syndicator, we need to do some calculation on some of the attributes/fields and need to store results in new Custom fields. The problem is when we create a new Custom Item and use Formula to create a formula like <MM Number:mm number> * 12, it is showing us result in Destination Preview as 100*12 rather than computing the value as 1200. The same is the case is for UOM conversion where we want to convert inches into feet. Can we do such such asthmatic calculations in syndicator? Is there any other way to get the same result?
<b>2</b> Calculated Filed Expression Builder screen for any table field in Console has Attribute List option always disabled. Only the Fields list is available on this screen. The same is the case for Validation and Assignment builders in Data Manager. Is it possible to select Attributes as well while creating Calculated field Expressions (Console) Validation and Assignment Expressions (Data Manager)?
We are using MDM 5,5 SP4 Patch01 on Windows XP Professional.
Thanks for your help.
Regards,
-Irfan

Hi Irfan,
1) If you want to use formula like 100*12 and want to get result than syndicator is not for this.This kind of formula should be used in Data manager. Custom field in syndicator is not for this purpose. When you want to add and custom field in your output file which is not present in your current display than with the help of Custom field, you can see that field in Destination Preview.
Follow below link for more clarification

Record Selection Formula and Parameters

We've currently upgraded from Crystal Reports 9 to Crystal Reports 2008 (SP3). In our legacy reports, we use the "record selection formula editor" to filter the results of our report. This is an example of one of our formulas:
{DOVREP_TIME_AND_EXPENSE.ITEM_DATE} >= {?FROMDATE} and {DOVREP_TIME_AND_EXPENSE.ITEM_DATE} <= {?TODATE}
In this formula, we pass in the FROMDATE and TODATE from our .NET applicaiton to filter on dates. After upgrading to Crystal Reports 2008 (SP3) this no longer works. I get an error "Error in formula Record_Selection". It looks as if it was having issues parsing the formula. If I replace my parameters (?FROMDATE/?TODATE) with hard coded dates it works fine (It also worked fine in Crystal Reports 9) so from what I can tell adding the parameters causes parsing errors. Also in the error it shows the formula and it's defintily messed up:
((( NOT {DOVREP_TIME_AND_EXPENSE.ITEM_DATE} >= {?FROMDATE}) AND ( NOT {DOVREP_TIME_AND_EXPENSE.ITEM_DATE} <= {?TODATE})))
I'm not sure why it is adding the NOT to the formula or the extra brackets...
Any suggestions?
Regards,
Mike

David,
First off, the way I determined it was the beta dlls was that I installed CR 2008 SP3 runtimes fresh and ran my report. I didn't experience any issues. I then took the beta dlls and replaced the originals, rebooted and ran my report again. The report failed to execute as I described above. I then took my backup of the SP3 dlls and replaced the beta dlls, rebooted and tested again. I worked fine with the original dlls.
The formula that I was passing into that report was a bit more complex than I first described. I had a few other conditions in the formula that checked for a project ID. I tested it with just the dates and there wasn't any issues (as in your example), as soon as I added additional parameters that's when the "NOT"'s were included. Could you try your test again with a few additional parameters? Here is an example of what I was passing into the report:
((({DOVREP_TIME_AND_EXPENSE.ITEM_DATE} >= {?FROMDATE} ) AND ( {DOVREP_TIME_AND_EXPENSE.ITEM_DATE} <= {?TODATE}))) AND (({%PROJECT_ID}=99 OR {%PROJECT_ID}=113 OR {%PROJECT_ID}=112 OR {%PROJECT_ID}=103 OR {%PROJECT_ID}=107 OR {%PROJECT_ID}=111)))
