Get Last Number in Column

I have a column of numbers (ColA), into which I enter a new number at the bottom of the list for each day.
I have another table where I want to show only the latest number entered in ColA. I don't want an average or max or min... I want the last number in the column. And since the column grows every day, I don't know what that cell number will be.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks
D

Hi Dana,
Here's a two part formula set that should do it.
The numbers are entered in column G.
1. Two versions of a step one formula. Each checks for three consecutive empty cells in column G. If three are found, then the contents of the last cell before them is returned. Otherwise the return is a blank (or zero). For each, the formula is as it appears in cell H2.
=IF(AND(G2>0,ISBLANK(G3),ISBLANK(G4),ISBLANK(G5)),G2,"")
OR
=IF(SUM(G3,G4,G5)=0,G2,"")
Whichever you use, drag the handle at the bottom right of H2 to fill the formula down column H.
The first formula returns blanks for all cells except the target one, for which it returns the number in G2. The second returns the same results up to the target one, but returns zeros for all cells after that.
2. The second formula collects the number from column H, and places it in a fixed location (ie. the cell containing this formula. I put it in cell J2.
=MAX(H)
Column H is used only for calculation, and may be hidden.
NOTE: These formulas reflect the way I would accomplish this in an AppleWorks spreadsheet. It works in Numbers as well, but does not take advantage of any Numbers specific features.

Barry

How to get the number of columns in a result set???

hi everyone..
i am trying to establish a servlet applet communication....
my applet send the sql query to the servlet as serialised string and then the servlet executes the query...
Since i need to pass the result back to the applet, i thaught of passing the whole reult set to the applet..but that seems to be not possible..
so i thaught of storing my result set data in a vector and then pass the vector,but the first problem that i came across is that how to get the number of colums in a result set....
so is there a way to get the number of columns in a result set...???
and also i would like to know if it possible to send my whole result set to the applet bye serialization or by any method...???
thanx in advance

You shouldn't do. It expenses resources (you should always close the ResultSet and the Statement as fast as possible). Simply gently process it into a Collection or Map of DTO's. Those are serializable.

Maximum Number of Columns Error

Okay, I've searched the discussion groups and did not see an answer to this so if anybody can help, it would be greatly appreciated. I have a user trying to pull back numbers from Essbase to an Excel spreadsheet and is getting "Maximum number of columns [1] exceeded [3].There is no Essbase error message associated with the error. I can pull back the same data on my set and do not get the error. Any help......thanks.

I have to disagree with the last comment; there is no "patch" for Hyperion to send. It's a simple version incompatibility. This situation usually occurs when you either upgrade the Essbase version or Excel, usually Essbase. The problem is that the "old" version of the Add-In isn't compatible with the new Essbase kernel, or in some cases the Excel version. Try this: In Excel, uncheck the OLAP Server DLL checkbox and install it again. To do so, browse to the server's hard drive, then to the ...\hyperion\essbase\bin directory and select the Essexcln.xll file. This will get a new copy of the Add-in from the server. This situation has also occurred when version 6 Essbase is used with Excel 2003 and there's a different solution for that. If the above doesn't work, provide me with the Essbase version and the Excel version, along with what (if anything) has recently changed and I'll field it from there.

How to count number of columns in cross-tab report

I have created a cross-tab report and have managed to get the data out as below:
             Jan     Feb     Mar....(display of months will auto expand) Avg/Mo Total
UserA     4          3        4                                                                         11
UserB     6          1        1                                                                          8
UserC     5          5        5                                                                         15
Total       15        9        10                                                                        33
I want to insert a calculated column (Avg/Mo) into the cross-tab report based on the formula: Total/Number of Months. I used this calculation formula for Avg.Mo column:
(GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex+1, CurrentSummaryIndex)/GetNumColumns)
However, I get the wrong average since GetNumColumns count the total number of columns including the column of Avg/Mo and Total.
How do i get the number of columns, excluding the Avg/Mo calculated column and Total column?
PS: I can't use hardcode since the number of months/columns will auto expand the months progress...

ok managed to solve this by slightly changing the formula:
GridValueAt(CurrentRowIndex, CurrentColumnIndex+1, CurrentSummaryIndex)/(GetNumColumns-2)

Number of columns in a resultset

Hi all,
I would like to know if it's possible to get the number of columns returned by a resultset:
conn = pool.getConnection();
cs = conn.prepareCall("{call server.procedure(?,?,?)}");
cs.setString(1, name);
cs.setString(2, string);
cs.registerOutParameter(3, OracleTypes.CURSOR);
cs.execute();
rs = (ResultSet) cs.getObject(3);
here I would like to know how many columns there are in the resultset, rs.next returns the next row but I need the columns as well.
Thanks,
A.

ResultSetMetaData rmd = rs.getMetaData();
System.out.println(rmd.getColumnCount());

How to access variable number of columns using ref cursor !

Hi,
I am trying to get variable number of columns using ref cursor.
Declare
mySzSql varchar2(2000);
Type dynSqlRC is Ref cursor;
current_cur dynSqlRC;
tbl_rec alt_42_consolidated%Rowtype;
Begin:
/* This works */
mySzSql := 'select *
from
Table1
Where
rowid = ''AAEWNEABXAAAAkxAAA''';
/* i want something like this to work, this is not working, giving missing variable name error */
mySzSql := 'select col1, col2, col3
from
Table1
Where
rowid = ''AAEWNEABXAAAAkxAAA''';
open current_cur for mySzSql;
fetch current_cur into tbl_rec;
close current_cur;
End;
I do have the list of desired columns which I am looking to fetch, so after taking that in the record type, how should i get their values. Is it possible to traverse tbl_rec declared above and if column name matches then I will store the value in the array and finally return this array.
Can somebody please tell me how to do this.
Thanks

It appears that this is a followup to How to loop through columns selected by select clause which is itself a followup to [url="
How to execute dynamic sql"]this earlier thread.
Assuming these are intended to be followup questions, can we please stick to a single thread? That makes it a lot easier to understand the situation and follow the conversation. Starting multiple threads makes it harder to follow the conversation.

How to get Maximum Number of Concurrent users for last few days?

Hi,
How I can get maximum number of concurrent users which were logged in to the system (ECC 5.0) I mean I want to check the hostory for last few weeks. Is there any way to get the same? I know that I can get Cumulative number of users in st03 under Expert mode but that is the number of users logged into the system during the day. Is there any place where SAP maintians the High Watermark of Number of concurrent users reached in the system?
Thanks in advance...

Sorry I really missed that I have posted a question here on sdn. I wanted to know this for planning the system hardware requirements. Activities like PM ( Performance Management ) happens once a year and during that activity we see heavy user loan on the system so if I have the exact stats of 1 or 2 years data I can size the system better next time. Fortunately last 2 years PM was very smooth for us. In that look for the improvement because each time we had little extra Harware. By doing the exact analysis we can save a Cost of ownership...
I was looking for R/3 users. I could see the number in st07 but I want to know the exact number at particular time.. I believe that st07 stores only for few days.
Thanks

I had this problem - it appeared to be due to having Firefox 4 with the Firefox Sync installed as an add-on. Firefox 4 has sync included so there is no need to have it as an add-on. I went to the add-on manager and removed Firefox Sync and now appears to be working correctly.
