Help with formatting function

Hi
I'm new to constructing functions in Numbers so I don't know if this
can actually be done.
Basically, I'm trying to change the cell colour IF the string LEN is > 10
So for I've got:
=IF(LEN(Ad2 General>10),Ad2 General)
But not to sure exactly how to pull this off.
I've looked around the web, but can't find anything.
Thanks

For this kind of need, I use a tip described here many times.
I build an auxiliary table with the formula :
=IF(LEN(Tableau 1 :: B2)>8,1,0)
where Tableau 1 is the name of the main table.
I apply to this table the conditional format :
if cell contents equal 0 set text and background to white
if cell contents equal 1 set text and background to red
Then, I move the table behind the main one defined as transparent.
The result is :

Help with stored function

Hi...I was wondering if I could get help with this function. How do i write a function to return hours between a begin date and an end date for an employee. Thanks so much

select (date2-date1)/24 from dual;date2-date1 is amount of days. Divide it by 24 and what? if you multiply it on 24 you will have a chance to know how many hours between these two dates. :-)Don't forget that a DATE type also includes a time component.I suppose it doesn't matter if you did a difference between two dates. The result is always number of days.

you have to use cross join in order to add more dimension members to the formula.This will give you some idea

How can I achieve this using Analytic Function(s)?
Thanks.

Hi,
That's called String Aggregation , and the following site shows many ways to do it:
http://www.oracle-base.com/articles/10g/StringAggregationTechniques.php
Which one should you use? That depends on which version of Oracle you're using, and your exact requirements.
For example, is order importatn? You said the results shoudl include:
CLIENT_ID COUNTRIES
1        USA, Canada, Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexicobut would you be equally happy with
CLIENT_ID COUNTRIES
1        Australia, France, Germany, China, India, Korea, Brazil, Mexico, USA, Canadaor
CLIENT_ID COUNTRIES
1        Australia, France, Germany, USA, Canada, Brazil, Mexico, China, India, Korea?

If you'd like help, post your best attempt, a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements), the results you want from that data, and an explanation of how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using.

Help with Sort function in Terminal

Hello all... this is my first post on here as I'm having some trouble with some Termianl commands. I'm trying to learn Terminal at the moment as it is but I would appreciate some help with this one....
I'm trying to sort a rather large txt file into alphabetical order and also delete any duplicates. I've been using the following command in Terminal:
sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
but after a while I get the following error
sort: string comparison failed: Illegal byte sequence
sort: Set LC_ALL='C' to work around the problem.
sort: The strings compared were `ariadnetr\345dens\r' and `ariadnetr\345ds\r'.
What should my initial command be? What is Set LC_ALL='C'?
Hope you guys can help?

Various languages distinct sorting - collation - sequences.
The characters can and variously do sort differently, depending on what language is involved.
Languages here can include the written languages of humans, and a few settings associated with programming languages. This is all part of what is known as internationalization and localization, and there are are various documents around on that topic.
The LC_ALL environment variable sets all of the locale-related settings en-mass, including the collation sequence that is established via LC_COLLATE et al, and the sort tool is suggesting selecting the C language collation.
Here, the tool is suggesting the following syntax:
LC_ALL=C sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
This can also be done by exporting the LC_ALL, but it's probably better to just do this locally before invoking the tool.
Also look at the lines of text in question within the files, and confirm the character encoding of the file.
Files can have different character encodings, and there's no reliable means to guess the encoding. For some related information, see the file command:
file words.txt
...and start reading some of the materials on internationalization and localization that are posted around the 'net. Here's Apple's top-level overview.
In this case, it looks like there's an "odd" character and probably an å character on that line and apparently the Svenska ariadnetrådens.
Switching collation can help here, or - if the character is not necessary - removing it via tr or replacing it via sed can be equally effective solutions.
Given it appears to be Svenska, it might work better to switch to Svenska collation thanto the suggested C collation.
I think that's going to be sv_SE, which would make the command:
LC_ALL=sv_SE sort -u words.txt > words1.txt
This is all generic bash shell scripting stuff, and not specific to OS X. If you haven't already seen them, the folks over at tldp have various guides including a bash guide for beginners, and an advanced bash scripting guide - both can be worth skimming. They're not exactly the same as bash on OS X and some specific commands and switches can differ, and as bash versions can differ, but bash is quite similar across all the platforms.

Help with bash function(set background=dark/light in vimrc)

I couldn't find any gvimrc files so I guess it uses the regular one. And since I work pretty much in X too I thought it would be nice with a function that sets background=light if I'm in X an background=dark if not. Is that possible?
/Richard

vimrc configuration is not the same as bash.
You probably want something like this in your ~/.vimrc:
if has('gui_running')
set background=light
else
set background = dark

Help with Formatted Search with Date

Hi experts,
I need help with the following query. In the PO item level, I want to take a user entered date and add 6 weeks to it. For example, after a user enters in a date in the field u_Date1, then U_date2 will populate with U_date1 + 6 weeks.
I can get the query to copy the U_Date1 field. However, once I add 6 weeks (+42) then I get an internal error. Please advise.
select $[por1.u_date1] + 42
from por1 t0
inner join t1 on t0.docentry = t1.docentry
where t0.linenum = $[por1.linenum] and
t1.docentry = $[opor.docentry]
Thank you for your help. i am on 2007A PL 47.

Hi Jane Liang ,
you can try this : Select DateAdd(day,42,$http://por1.u_date1 ) from por1 t0 .....

Help with formatting for Cross Tab Report Crystal 2008

This is probably a simple question. I have a cross tab report that displays sales by month for a period of 6 months. These sales columns are formatted to be numbers with no decimals. In addition to these columns, I have inserted columns that display the percentage up/down in sales over the previous month. If I try to format the percentage columns, it changes every column to then display "##,##.##%" when I need to keep the sales columns at "##,###" with no decimal or percentage sign.
1. Is there a way to change the formatting of some of the columns but not all in a cross tab report?
2. If not, can I add a function that would change these in the calculation formula of the calculated member?
I tried to add "%" but it wants it to return a number.
Here is the current code:
//The calculation formula is used in place of the summaries in Calculated Members.
// This calculation formula must return a/an Number value.
If GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex) = 0 then 0 else
((GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-1,CurrentSummaryIndex) -
GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex)) /
GridValueAt (CurrentRowIndex,CurrentColumnIndex-3,CurrentSummaryIndex)) * 100
Any help is appreciated.
Thank you,
Tobi

Carl,
Thank you for your help. I did try your method but still couldn't get it to ignore the fact that it wanted a number. I changed my approach a litte and managed to solve the problem. Here is the method that I chose which managed to solve the problem. If this is a poor way to solve it, please let me know as I am always open for new ways.
Format Field > Number Tab > Customize > Currency Symbol Tab
Checked Enable Currency Symbol Fixed, changed currency symbol to %. This is the same thing that I did before which changes it for all columns.
Beside Enable Currency checkbox, I added this formula:
// This conditional formatting formula must return one of the following Currency Symbol Constants:
// crNoCurrencySymbol
// crFixedCurrencySymbol
// crFloatingCurrencySymbol
If GridRowColumnValue("InvoiceLine.TxnDate") = Date(0,0,0) then
crFixedCurrencySymbol
else
crNoCurrencySymbol
My added columns have a null date field so they take the currency format. My other columns do not so they do not take the formatting.
Thanks again for the help.

Help with Hasvalue Function in 2008

Dear all,
I have a question regarding "Hasvalue" function under Crystal Reports 2008. I have created a quite extensive report based on quite alot of parameters. These parameters need to be Optional i.e. if user does not enter a value then all the records according to date parameter should be chosen, however if any one parameter value has been entered then report should filter according to that parameter value as well as date parameter values.
The report prints out results fine however it takes quite a lot of time to load. Example would be, yesterday when I ran the report Database query took 87238ms and reading records took 30691ms hence report formatting a first page took 981428ms.
Upon research and help from Brian in this forum I found out that while using "Hasvalue" the even when I use parameter value in one of the parameters, only date parameters are getting passed through the SQL query to the database, rest are not passed meaning that it reads all the records and then sort them in the end.
I have only one parameter which is not optional and that is date parameter, rest all are optional.
My question is, how can I pass the parameter values when chosen through the SQL query so that it can search the db upon query and not read all the records and sort at last.
Any ideas how to make it work?
Many thanks
Regards
Jehanzeb

On the report under Report>Record->Selection formula.
Infact here is the formula
{order_header.date_entered} >= {?Start Date} and
{order_header.date_entered} <= {?End Date} and
(not HasValue({?Account Number}) or {order_header.account_no} = {?Account Number})and
(not HasValue({?Product Group}) or {order_lines.stock_code}[1 to 5] = {?Product Group})and
(not HasValue({?Sales Area}) or {slslsp.slr_slsperson} in {?Sales Area});
All the Hasvalue are not being passed on through SQL, as you can see below I have chosen a customer account number but it does not reflect in the query, however the results are according to customer account.
SELECT DISTINCT order_header.order_no, order_header.order_status, order_header.date_entered,
ndmas.ndm_name, order_header.account_no, order_progress.order_status, order_lines.stock_code,
slslsp.slr_slsperson, slslsp.slr_slspname, order_progress.date_created
FROM maxmast.ndmas ndmas, maxmast.order_header order_header, maxmast.order_lines order_lines,
maxmast.order_progress order_progress, maxmast.slcust slcust, maxmast.slslsp slslsp
WHERE (order_header.order_no=order_lines.order_no) AND
((order_header.order_no=order_progress.order_no) AND (order_header.repeat_no=order_progress.repeat_no))

Help with formatting fields in PDF...

Hi -
I´m working on a form that should be filled in from the internet...
The design I did i InDesign - and the formfields I did i Acrobat Pro -
and finally I´m finetuning everything in LiveCycle...
I've runned into two problems...
I need the date field to correct itself -
if the user choice to use the wrong format...
for example -
we want to have YYYY-MM-DD
and if the user writes DD MM YY -
it should be accepted and corrected....
is this possible - maybe with JAVA-script?
Also - In Sweden anyway we always write the Social Security number in this way
YYMMDD-NNNN ( N = Numbers between 0-9 )
How can I get the field to recognize and to crave - "demand" this format...
I´ll hope my Swinglish can be understandable?
IdéSpiran

I suggest that you make use of the Validation patterns for this. On the Object palette there is a Value tab and on that tab is a button for Validation Pattern. You can create a pattern in 4 areas - Display - what the user sees on teh screen, Edit - what the user enters in the field, Validation - what the value entered will be validated against and Data - what is stored in the data file. You will be interested in the Display pattern. Depending on the type of field you will see different data patterns ( i.e. Date fields show date patterns and TextFields have phone numbers, zip codes etc..). You can also create a custom pattern. Have a look in the docs about patterns and you will see what each of the chars represents and how to create one. For your SSN you will probably need javascript because of the combination of Date and number formats.
Hope that helps

Help with Java function

Hi all,
I am suppose to write a java function for the following source and target structure:
<u>Source Structure</u>
Root A (0..unbounded)
|_ A
Root B (0..unbounded)
|_ B
Root C (0..unbounded)
|_ C
<u>Target Structure</u>
Root_target (0..unbounded)
   |_ T
Based upon every occurrence of A, B and C, i have to first compare their values and for every unique value i have to create a separate instance of 'T'
i.e. if all the three A, B and C are different the output should be:
Root_target (0..unbounded)
   |_ T (for A)
Root_target (0..unbounded)
   |_ T (for B)
Root_target (0..unbounded)
   |_ T (for C)
I am writing a java function in the graphical mapping for it, but i am stuck with the code to create target segments dynamically.
Any help in this regards is appreciated.
Regards,
Varun

Hi Varun,
I understood unique values form A,B,C need to map to T.
In this case change the context of all these A,B,C to their respective parent node.
write a user define function to accept these 3 queues , write a java logic to fiund uniqueness among all the records, add the resulkt to Resultset , which is output map to T.
Thanks,

Need help with effect / function stop!

Hi all!
I tried to build some kind of custom pop-up-menu with fade
in/out effect, however the menu sometimes (< very often, but not
always) disappears while the mouse is still over it.
So i defined a function to stop/abort the effects, but this
doesn't work right.
Could anybody please tell me, how to stop all functions,
while the mouse is over a link?
/// This is the container to appear / disappear:
<div id="navislide" style="height:292px;
overflow:hidden;">
<a href="mylink.html" onMouseOver="killall();"
onMouseOut="hideit();">mylink</a>
</div>
/// This is the link to show the container:
<a href="#"
onMouseOver="slidefadein.start();">mylink</a>
<script type="text/javascript">
function displayblock() {
var thediv = document.getElementById('navislide');
thediv.style.display= "block";
slidetimer = setTimeout('slidefadeout.start();', 2000);
hideit = function() {
slidetimer = setTimeout('slidefadeout.start();', 2000);
function displaynone() {
var thediv = document.getElementById('navislide');
thediv.style.display= "none";
killall = function() {
clearTimeout(slidetimer);
slidefadeout.stop();
slidefadein.stop();
displayblock();
slidefadeup.start();
var slidefadein = new Spry.Effect.Fade("navislide", {from:0,
to:100, toggle:false, setup:displayblock, finish:hideit});
var slidefadeout = new Spry.Effect.Fade("navislide",
{from:100, to:0, toggle:false, finish:displaynone});
var slidefadeup = new Spry.Effect.Fade("navislide",
{from:100, to:100, toggle:false});
</script>
Probably, its all about the "killall"-function, because when
the mouse moves over the link, the function to abort all other
effects, does not take effect.
Thank you so much vor any kind of help or hint!!
Cheers,
idefix

I would be most interested in a reply to this for I asked
weeks ago how to use an onClick stop() function for the links in my
page. I was given the stop function by VFusion (it is to stop
panels from rotating), but I could never figure out how to actually
get the function to stop the panels and could not get it no matter
what I tried, eventually had to take the panel rotation out.
