Help with calculated column formula- combine strings and convert to date

In my list (SharePoint Server 2013) I have:
'Invoiced Month' column, type of choice (strings with names of months- January, February, March..., December)
'Year' column, single line of text (e.g. 2012, 2013, 2014)
1. I need to create a calculated column which will return combined value of the columns above, but in DATE format e.g. 'Sep-2013' or '01-Sep-2013'.
I then use that newly created calculated column to do this: http://iwillsharemypoint.blogspot.in/2012/03/sharepoint-list-view-of-current-month.html
I am rubbish with formulas, can I have some help with my problem please?

Hi,
Use the formula, I have tested by creating Months column with choice, Year column as numeric and Calculated column as DateTime returned.
=DATE(Year,IF([Months]="January", 1,IF([Months]="February",2,IF([Months]="March",3,IF([Months]="April",4,IF([Months]="May",5,IF([Months]="June",6,IF([Months]="July",7,IF([Months]="August",8,IF([Months]="September",9,IF([Months]="October",10,IF([Months]="November",11,12))))))))))),1)
Before applying the formula few things need to be noted.
DATE(YEAR, MONTH,DAY) will accepts three parameters all should be type numeric(integer).
Create the Year column of type numeric
Create the calculated column of type "DateTime" to return as date

Help with a BB Playbook App- strings and variables

hello, i hope ive come to the right place for help.
let me give u some background:
im developing an app for the blackberry playbook, which in fact just came out today! yay. so anyway, im making an app that will decode fringe glyphs, from the show "fringe." unless u watch it, u prob wouldnt get it, but everyso often they show a symbol in the show, and by the end of the show, they have shown about 5-6 of them. there is a code to them, and each distinc symbol represents a letter. so when u have recognized all 5 symbols, u are able to spell a word, that typically correlates to that epidsode of the show. So, for my app, i have a wall of tiles, with groups of the symbols. underneath this group of tiles, i have 5 blank spaces.
So, i want a user to be able to watch the show, and as he/she sees a symbol, finds it on the tablet app, taps it, and the corresponding letter will appear in the 1st blank space, and so on, until it spells out an entire word.
I am relatively new to the programming, so i was hoping that someone could possibly provide me with a list of major steps on how to provide this app. basically, what methods do u use to make each of these things happen. and what is the practical/efficient way of course. So, of course my main question is how i can link each image to a letter with then displays along the bottom, but i have no idea what i would need or how i would do this. Reminder: i am using actionscritpt, if that makes any difference.
Thank you, and please ask any questions necessary for u to help me.
PS.
along with selecting images for the letters, i would also like it to be almost like a toggle button. if that makes any sense, but for now, id like to figure out wat i have stated above.

heres a screenshot of what i have so far. nothing really except kind of the layout and pics. what i need now is user interaction... lol

Lookup column in calculated column formula

I have a Lookup column(Discountfirst) which has Number.
I also have another Calculated column(Finaldate) with Resulttype DateTime.
One more column(DateofReceipt) in Date.
My Calculated column formula looks like this
=(DateofReceipt)+(Discountfirst).
I get an error
"One or more column references are not allowed, because the columns are defined as a data type that is not supported in formulas".
I googled and came to know I can't use Lookup Column in Calculated field.
Any suggestion how can do this ?

This can't be done using calculated columns because calculated columns can only be used for columns on the same list.
Using SharePoint Designer Workflows you can just use Create List Item and Update List Item actions so that whenever a user adds a value the item will be added in another list's column which contains the previous amounts already.

Help with calculated dimension member

I am trying to create a (custom) dimension member using a simple calculation (subtraction e.g. member1 - member2) in AWM 9.2.0.4 following the example given in the Oracle OLAP DML Reference 10g (using DML). I could not find any articles relating to this for 9i. Although the custom member is easily added to the dimension, I could not populate it with the specified calculation.
I need to enable the analytic workspace for OLAP API and BI Beans. Can anyone help?

Help with writing a formula

Hi all,
I am creating a report, and need help with writing a formula...
I am creating a report that shows how many visits/touches our reps have made to various grade accounts. It is broken down by calendar week, and I currently have a weekly "goal" number set that the reps have to meet. That "goal" number increases each week to keep a running total. (example: week 1: 7, week 2: 14, week 3: 21)
I have created some different formulas and one is this:
SUM("Activity Metrics"."# of Activities" BY Date."Calendar Week")
What this shows me is how many "visits" there are per calendar week to customers, however it show me the total for all reps per week.
What I need is that total to show, but totaled for each rep individually.
What I was trying is this:
SUM("Activity Metrics"."# of Activities" BY Date."Calendar Week") BY Employee."Employee Name"
But...I keep getting an error.
Any suggestions?
I have the reporting book by Lairson, and have been referring to it...but my brain at this point is fried.
Thanks in advance for any help...(please forgive...I am new to OnDemand, and I am sure this is easy)

Thanks for helping!
I created this formula as a column: SUM ("Activity Metrics"."# of Activities" BY Date."Calendar Week"), it is called "total number of visits per week" and it shows the totaled number of visits that all the reps have done per calendar week. For example: Week 1: 10 visits, Week 2: 37 visits, Week 3: 20 visits.
What I would like to do is take that column and break it down further, to show instead how many visits per week by sales rep there have been
So what I was trying was to take the "total number of visits per week" (SUM ("Activity Metrics"."# of Activities" BY Date."Calendar Week")) and use "Activity Owner" (Employee."Employee Name") to break it down further.
What I need to use is the total number of visits each rep has per calendar week.
I think I am getting the error because you can't use "BY" twice in a formula?

I need help with creating some formulas

I'm not sure if anyone around here can help me, but I'm trying to create a Numbers document and need some help with creating a formula/function.
I have a column of amounts and I would like to create a formula which deducts a percentage (11.9%) and puts the result in another column.
If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

Here is an example that shows one way to do this:
The original data is in column A. In column B we will store formulas to adjust the amounts:
1) select the cell where you want to formula (in this case cell B2)
2) Type the "=" (equal sign):
3) click cell A2:
4) now type the rest of the formula which is: "*(100-11.9)/100" that is asterisk, then open parenthesis, 100 minus eleven point nine close parenthesis forward slash one hundred
The Asterisk is the multiply operator (times) and the forward slash is the division operator (divide)
now hit return. select cell B2 and hover the cursor over the bottom edge of the cell:
drag the little yellow dot down to "fill" the formula down as needed.

How to read a data file combining strings and data

Hello,
I'm having a data file combining strings and datas to read. I'm trying to read the filename, time, constants and comments into four seperate string indicators (the lines for the comments varies for different files). And read the data into a 2-D numeric array. How can I do this? Is there any function that can serch special characters in the spreadsheet file so I can exactly locate where I should start reading the specific data. The following is how the data file appears. Thank you very much.
Best,

Hi,
     I'm fairly new to the NI forums too and I think you just have to wait longer. Your post was done right. I do a similiar function as to what you are talking about except I read in numbers from a file. I create an ini file (just a notepad file of type *.ini) that is is set up with sections inside brackets [] and keys with whatever name followed by an = sign. You may be able to use a *.dat file too, I just haven't. Then the vi attached goes to that file and reads the keys from those sections. You just repeat for the different sections and keys you want to read. You can use similar provide VI's to write to that same file or create it. Let me know how that works.

Calculate Date/Time Difference in a Calculated Column Omitting Weekends, Holidays and Non-Working Hours

I am looking for a formula to use in a calculated column that calculates the difference between two date/time fields while excluding weekends, holidays and non-working hours
6/1/2010 9:43 AM - 6/7/2010 1:45 PM
Here is the closest that I have gotten; however, this formula gives me a result of 96:
=IF(AND((WEEKDAY([Resolved Date],2))<(WEEKDAY(Created,2)),((WEEKDAY(Created,2))-(WEEKDAY([Resolved Date],2)))>1),(((DATEDIF(Created,[Resolved Date],"D")))-(FLOOR((DATEDIF(Created,[Resolved Date],"D")+1)/7,1))-3),(((DATEDIF(Created,[Resolved Date],"D")))-(FLOOR((DATEDIF(Created,[Resolved
Date],"D")+1)/7,1)*2))*24)
Any and all assistance is greatly appreciated!

I don't know how to exclude holidays but i exclude weekends(Sat&Sun)-
IF(ISERROR(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],”d”)),””,(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],”d”))+1-INT(DATEDIF([Start Date],[End Date],”d”)/7)*2-IF((WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start
Date]))<0,2,0)-IF(OR(AND(WEEKDAY([End Date])=7,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),AND(WEEKDAY([End Date])=1,WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1)),1,0)-IF(AND(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=1,(WEEKDAY([End Date])-WEEKDAY([Start Date]))>0),1,0)-IF(AND(NOT(WEEKDAY([Start Date])=7),WEEKDAY([End

Need urgent help!!!! (combine prompt and formula)

Hi,
I am using Oracle Business Intelligence 10.1.3.3.2, and creating some reports from answers. I desperately need to combine
prompt and formula on some column.
I need to use prompt in my formula on some column.
Need urgent help !

You can use the presentation variables to pass the value of the prompt into the report or any column formula.
In the dashboard prompt you see an option called "Set Variable" where and you need to give a name to the variable.(Say Var_value)
Now the value of the variable can be simply referenced using the syntax @{var_name}{10}. Here '10' being the defualt value which is optional you can simply reference using @{var_name} and you have the value of the prompts passed.
Hope it works
Thanks

Need help with af:column and skinning

Hallo,
ADF Faces and skinning is in general a great opportunity to get projects done - thx for this.
- I use a af:table with af:column with sortable="true".
- This works great, but the customer want's to have the icon for sorting to the left side of the label.
- I have created my own skin for this and can change the sorting icon, but I cannot place it to the left side of the label:
af|column::sort-ascend-icon {
content:url(/skins/espa/sort_ab_h.gif);
Has anyone done this? Is this possible?
Thx, Willi

Looking at the source gives a clear picture - it can't be done.
Now I am switching over to less comples jsf components and additional implementations.
Thx, Willi

I need help with a complex formula

I am a current student attempting to keep track of requirements for college along with my courses that I am taking. I have two tables. I am trying to put an X in Table2:A2 if the data from Table2:B2 AND Table2:C2 matches Table1:SUBJ AND Table1:CRS. The match in Table1 has to be in the same row since there are duplicates. So a check mark will appear in Table2 once I've taken the class and it shows up in Table1. Does anyone have a equation that would make this work?
Here's a link so you can download the spreadsheet in Numbers '09 and fool around with it.

My error.I was reading "The match in Table1 has to be in the same row since there are duplicates," and overgeneralizing. I was wondering about the "complex formula" part of the request.
Here's another go—with a 'complex' formula, and a couple of 'helper columns.'
Column D on both tables contains a simple formula that combines the subject and course number into a single string.
=B&" "&C
Table 1::Column A contains the more complex formula:
=IFERROR(IF(AND(MATCH(D2,Table 2 :: $D,0)>0,D2<>" "),"✓",""),"")
IFERROR traps the error that occurs when there's no match.
the D<>" " catches the rows where no subject and course number has been entered in the first table.
Descriptions and further examples of the functions used are available in the iWork formulas and Functions User Guide, The guide is downloadable via the Help menu in Numbers.

Help with difficult numbers formula

I need help with a formula im trying to create in numbers on my iPad. I'll try to explaine the best I can and attach images to help.
Ive created a spreadsheet to do rotas for work. Currently it calculates the shifts each person does and adds it to the total for that persons week in the end column and the total for the day in the bottom row. If the shift is equal to or more than 8 hours long then an hour needs to be deducted as they have a lunch hour that is unpaid for. This is currently done by a hidden row under each persons row that calculates the shift for that person on that day with the given conditions. Also is a 'H' (for holiday), 'RDO' (for requested day off) or 'X' (for unable to work this day) is placed in any of the cells the formular will return value 0. What I am wanting to do is to get rid of all the hidden rows and still have the total calculated in the end column for that person and the day in the bottom row. Is there a way of doing this without having to copy the formula in the hidden cell and adding them in series for each day to achieve the total? I hope this makes sense. Ive attached images to try and help with the explanation.
Thanks in advance

Hi Gary,
I believe that it is generally good practice to choose several smaller formulas over large and complex ones. As you noted in your question you could add your daily IF()s to get the result you want but it would be an unwieldy construction. I also suspect that the daily hours for each employee could be useful info.
I hope things are working out for you.

Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.

*Can you please run my code for yourself and have a look at how this program is constructed*
*and give me ANY feedback on how I can better this code(program) or if I've done anything wrong from your point of view.*
Your help will be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance

Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??You cannot restrict the user. It is a sad fact in programming that the worst bug always sits in front of the Computer.
What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

Help with a column form

Hi!!
I have this Data model:
http://img236.imageshack.us/img236/5250/dibujo0eq.gif
and I want to add a formula Column with this pl/sql cod:
function CF_1Formula return Number is
begin
return :correctas*100/:count_ccnfac;
end;
When i Tryied to do this i have this error:
rept-1517: Column "porcent_correctas" references colum "correctas", wich has incompatible frequency.
I know what causes this problem, but i don't know how to resolve it because the colums are in diferent querys.Please, somebody help me, I'm new in this and I need it for my work.
Bye, and thanks to all.

Excellent to have a reference to a picture!
A formula column can reference fields in it's own group or the groups above it. So, put the formula column in group G_COUNT. This way you can reference both :correctas and :count_ccnfac.

Sync to SharePoint Workspace with Calculated columns

I have a document library (in a SharePoint 2010 site) with a calculated column that will not Sync to the SharePoint Workspace 2010. Once I remove the calculated column, it syncs fine.
The calculated column displays an image in the document library depending on the state:
