Help with Number IF function
I wanted to create a sales spreadsheet where if a goal was met the cell would change color but I'm working with percentages.
Example:
If the value in cell A is greater than or equal to 35% of the value of cell B then true and the cell is green. if False it turns red.
is something like this possible?
Hi Vale,
The only way I know to do something like this with conditional highlighting is to add a column that will agree with your target when the conditions are met.
The highlighting rule will turn the cell green when C1=A1. C can be hidden. The normal fill for the cell is red.

Need some help with the Table Function Operator
I'm on OWB 10gR2 for Sun/Solaris 10 going against some 10gR2 DB's...
I've been searching up and down trying to figure out how to make OWB use a Table Function (TF) which will JOIN with another table; allowing a column of the joined table to be a parameter in to the TF. I can't seem to get it to work. I'm able to get this to work in regular SQL, though. Here's the setup:
-- Source Table:
DROP TABLE "ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX";
CREATE TABLE "ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX"
( "ID" NUMBER(8,0),
"ROOM_NUMBER" VARCHAR2(200),
"FEATURES" VARCHAR2(4000)
-- Example Data:
Insert into ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX (ID,ROOM_NUMBER,FEATURES) values (1,'Room 1',null);
Insert into ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX (ID,ROOM_NUMBER,FEATURES) values (2,'Room 2',null);
Insert into ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX (ID,ROOM_NUMBER,FEATURES) values (3,'Room 3','1,1;2,3;');
Insert into ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX (ID,ROOM_NUMBER,FEATURES) values (4,'Room 4','5,2;5,4;');
Insert into ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX (ID,ROOM_NUMBER,FEATURES) values (5,'Room 5',' ');
-- Destination Table:
DROP TABLE "ZZZ_ROOM_FEATURES_EX";
CREATE TABLE "ZZZ_ROOM_FEATURES_EX"
( "ROOM_NUMBER" VARCHAR2(200),
"FEATUREID" NUMBER(8,0),
"QUANTITY" NUMBER(8,0)
-- Types for output table:
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE FK_Row_EX AS OBJECT
ID NUMBER(8,0),
QUANTITY NUMBER(8,0)
CREATE OR REPLACE TYPE FK_Table_EX AS TABLE OF FK_Row_EX;
-- Package Dec:
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX IS
FUNCTION UNFK(inputString VARCHAR2) RETURN FK_Table_EX;
END ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX;
-- Package Body:
CREATE OR REPLACE
PACKAGE BODY ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX IS
FUNCTION UNFK(inputString VARCHAR2) RETURN FK_Table_EX
AS
RETURN_VALUE FK_Table_EX := FK_Table_EX();
i NUMBER(8,0) := 0;
BEGIN
-- TODO: Put some real code in here that will actually read the
-- input string, parse it out, and put data in to RETURN_VALUE
WHILE(i < 3) LOOP
RETURN_VALUE.EXTEND;
RETURN_VALUE(RETURN_VALUE.LAST) := FK_Row_EX(4, 5);
i := i + 1;
END LOOP;
RETURN RETURN_VALUE;
END UNFK;
END ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX;
I've got a source system built by lazy DBA's and app developers who decided to store foreign keys for many-to-many relationships as delimited structures in driving tables. I need to build a generic table function to parse this data and return it as an actual table. In my example code, I don't actually have the parsing part written yet (I need to see how many different formats the source system uses first) so I just threw in some stub code to generate a few rows of 4's and 5's to return.
I can get the data from my source table to my destination table using the following SQL statement:
-- from source table joined with table function
INSERT INTO ZZZ_ROOM_FEATURES_EX(
ROOM_NUMBER,
FEATUREID,
QUANTITY)
SELECT
ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX.ROOM_NUMBER,
UNFK.ID,
UNFK.QUANTITY
FROM
ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX,
TABLE(ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX.UNFK(ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX.FEATURES)) UNFK
Now, the big question is--how do I do this from OWB? I've tried several different variations of my function and settings in OWB to see if I can build a single SELECT statement which joins a regular table with a table function--but none of them seem to work, I end up getting SQL generated that won't compile because it doesn't see the source table right:
INSERT
/*+ APPEND PARALLEL("ZZZ_ROOM_FEATURES_EX") */
INTO
"ZZZ_ROOM_FEATURES_EX"
("ROOM_NUMBER",
"FEATUREID",
"QUANTITY")
(SELECT
"ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX"."ROOM_NUMBER" "ROOM_NUMBER",
"INGRP2"."ID" "ID_1",
"INGRP2"."QUANTITY" "QUANTITY"
FROM
(SELECT
"UNFK"."ID" "ID",
"UNFK"."QUANTITY" "QUANTITY"
FROM
TABLE ( "ZZZ_SANDBOX_EX"."UNFK2" ("ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX"."FEATURES")) "UNFK") "INGRP2",
"ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX" "ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX"
As you can see, it's trying to create a sub-query in the FROM clause--causing it to just ask for "ZZZ_ROOM_MASTER_EX"."FEATURES" as an input--which isn't available because it's outside of the sub-query!
Is this some kind of bug with the code generator or am I doing something seriously wrong here? Any help will be greatly appreciated!Hello Everybody!
Thank you for all your response!
I had changes this work area into Internal table and changed the select query. PLease let me know if this causes any performance issues?
I had created a Z table with the following fields :
ZADS :
MANDT
VKORG
ABGRU.
I had written a select query as below :
I had removed the select single and insted of using the Structure it_rej, I had changed it into Internal table
select vkorg abgru from ZADS into it_rej.
Earlier :
IT_REJ is a Work area:
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
Now :
DATA : BEGIN OF IT_REJ occurs 0,
VKORG TYPE VBAK-VKORG,
ABGRU TYPE VBAP-ABGRU,
END OF IT_REJ.
I guess this will fix the issue correct?
PLease suggest!

Need some help with a counting function
Hello,
I use a simple sheet to organize the timetable of my patients. Now I'd like to count how many different patients I attend, without counting a patient twice if I attend him twice a week for example. My sheet looks like this:
Mon
Tue
Wed
Thu
John
Steve
John
Wesley
Mary
Harry
Deborah
Peter
Arnold
Carol
Chris
Mary
Sarah
Karen
Karen
Carol
Larry
Peter
So the answer would be 13, because I attend 13 different patients a week. Fields in blank should no be counted, the cell contend changes frequently.
A friend of mine tried to help me with a countif function but it didn't work out for me, it would count the fields left blank too.
Any idea?
Thanks, gabrielHi Gabriel,
Here's another, more generalized, approach that doesn't need adjusting for maximum number of visits/week at the cost of just a few more formulas. But only two tables!
Formula in A2 and copied down:
=ROUNDUP((ROW(cell)−1)÷$B$27,0)
Formula in B2 and copied down:
=IF(MOD(ROW(cell)−1,$B$27)=0,$B$27,MOD(ROW(cell)−1,$B$27))
The formula in C2 and copied down:
=OFFSET(Schedule::$A$1,0,B−1)
The formula in D2 and copied down:
=IFERROR(OFFSET(Schedule::$A$1,A2,B2−1,rows,columns),"")
The formula in E2 and copied down:
=IF(AND(D2≠0,LEN(D2)>0),COUNTIF($D$1:D2,D2),"")
The formula in F2 and copied down:
=IFERROR(IF(E=1,1,""),"")
The formula in F27: =SUM(F)
The value in B27 is 4, the number of day columns in the Schedule table. You would change that if you increase or decrease the number of days on which you see patients.
Column C is cosmetic, not needed in the calculation.
The error triangle means all of the cells in the Schedule table are already accounted for in the rows above.
Probably more compact ways to do this but it gets the job done.

Need help with user defined function
Hello SDN,
I need some help with a user-defined function. My source message contains multiple
generic records (1000 char string), and my target message is 1 header record,
then multiple generic records. See description of source and target messages below:
Source:
GenericRecordTable 1..unbounded
Row (1000 char string)
Target:
Field1 (char5)
Field2 (char5)
Field3 (char5)
IT_Data
GenericRecordTable 1..unbounded
Row (1000 char string)
Basically, what I need to do in my user defined funtion is to map the first record
in my source record to the 3 header fields, then map all of the rest of the records
(starting from line 2) into the GenericRecordTable.
Can someone please help me with the code for the user defined function(s) for this
mapping?
Thank you.hi,
Activities
1. To create a new user-defined function, in the data-flow editor, choose Create New Function (This
graphic is explained in the accompanying text), which is located on the lower left-hand side of the
screen. In the menu, choose Simple Function or Advanced Function.
2. In the window that appears, specify the attributes of the new function:
Name
Technical name of the function. The name is displayed in the function chooser and on the data-flow
object.
Description
Description of how the function is used.
Cache
Function type (see above)
Argument Count
In this table, you specify the number of input values the function can process, and name them. All
functions are of type String.
3. In the window that appears, you can create Java source code:
a. You can import Java packages to your methods from the Imports input field, by specifying them
separated by a comma or semi-colon:
You do not need to import the packages java.lang., java.util., java.io., and java.lang.reflect. since
all message mappings require these packages and therefore import them. You should be able to
access standard JDK and J2EE packages of the SAP Web Application Server by simply specifying the
package under Import. In other words, you do not have to import it as an archive into the Integration
Repository. You can also access classes of the SAP XML Toolkit, the SAP Java Connector, and the
SAP Logging Service (see also: Runtime Environment (Java-Mappings)).
In addition to the standard packages, you can also specify Java packages that you have imported as
archives and that are located in the same, or in an underlying software component version as the
message mapping.
b. Create your Java source text in the editor window or copy source text from another editor.
4. Confirm with Save and Close.
5. User-defined functions are limited to the message mapping in which you created the function. To
save the new function, save the message mapping.
6. To test the function, use the test environment.
The new function is now visible in the User-Defined function category. When you select this category,
a corresponding button is displayed in the function chooser pushbutton bar. To edit, delete, or add the
function to the data-flow editor, choose the arrow next to the button and select from the list box
displayed.

Hi everyone, can someone please help me with a function to use here please. I have a nine digit number e,g (000046650 and 024063870). I would like to convert this to 4 digits before the comma and 5 digits after the comma. So it must be something like this (0000,46650 and 0240,63870). I thought I could easily do this with a ROUND function, but it doesn't work. Could somebody please help by telling me what I'm missing?
Thank you all for your help.Hi,
I must be missing something, but why don't you just divide by 10000 ?Scott@my11g SQL>with d as (
2 select 000046650 n from dual
3 union all
4 select 024063870 from dual
5 )
6 select n/10000 from d ;
N/10000
4.665
2406.387You can then use a to_char with fmt to format it with zero padding :Scott@my11g SQL>with d as (
2 select 000046650 n from dual

Need some help with a remove function
Design and code a program that will maintain a list of product names. Use a String type to represent the product name and an array of strings to implement the list. Your program must implement the following methods:
Add a product to the list
Remove a product from the list
Display then entire list
Find out if a particular product is on the list.
You need to create a command command loop with a menu() function. The program must continue asking for input until the user stops.
This is the assignment and this is what I have so far. I need some help writing the remove function.
Thanks

Great.
By the way, you can't remove anything from an array. You'll have to copy the remaining stuff into a new one, or maybe maintain a list of "empty" slots. Or null the slots and handle that. The first way will be the easiest though. -
Help with this cool function: =SUMIF(Table 1::$Month, COLUMN()−1, $Cost)
Hello,
I am a novice with respect to spreadsheet functions and needed a a cashflow spreadsheet. I found this one (Download Cashflow Tracker for Numbers (iWork 09).) which is perfect but the author, I suspect, has not updated his website in years. I attempted contacting him and received no reply.
I receive an error with the following function:
=SUMIF(Table 1::$Month, COLUMN()−1, $Cost)
This occurs when I enter a date in the expense or income table. Entering the date is required to make the spreadsheet work but when I do I receive an error that a number is expected when a date is entered.
Can anyone give me some advice? I would really like to use this spreadsheet.
Thanks!
SteveWhat I have found the simplest approach has been:
1. Cut the Summary by Category table and paste it into the Transaction sheet, giving something like this (after rearranging renaming, etc, as desired):
2. Make sure the links between the two table are still working, make their appearance the way you like, then duplicate that sheet for the other months. Each sheet will then have its separate set of two interconnected tables.
3. Copy paste one of the Summary tables back to the Summary sheet, rename it as desired, and set it up with formulas referencing the tables in the monthly sheets you have set up, something like this:
If you want your summary by month you would set up 12 columns in the main 'Summary by Category' table, with each column referencing a different sheet. Your Budget could be a row above each Actual figure, if you like, with difference in a row below that.
This approach keeps the formulas simple and avoids having to set up fancy SUMIFS extracting data for each month from one big Transaction table.

Help with SMTP class function with authentication
My server is no longer supporting the php mail() functionality. I need to use SMTP class function with authentication in my php code and they suggested this to replace it: http://www.yrhostsupport.com/index.php?/Knowledgebase/Article/View/101/2/smtp-class-functi on-with-authentication-in-php-code
So I tried it, but can't get it to work. This is my test form:

It used to work fine when I used
$send = mail($to, $subject, $body, $headers);

Need help with " Number guessing game " please?
This is what teacher requires us to do for this assignment:
Write a program that plays a simple number guessing game. In this game the user will think of a number and the program will do the guessing. After each guess from the program, the user will either indicate that the guess is correct (by typing �c�), or that the next guess should be higher (by typing �h�), or that it should be lower (by typing �l�). Here is a sample output for a game. In this particular game the user thinks of the number 30:
$java GuessingGameProgram
Guess a number between 0 and 100
Is it 50? (h/l/c): l
Is it 25? (h/l/c): h
Is it 37? (h/l/c): l
Is it 31? (h/l/c): l
Is it 28? (h/l/c): h
Is it 29? (h/l/c): h
Is it 30? (h/l/c): c
Thank you for playing.
$
This program is implementing a binary search algorithm, dividing the range of possible values in half with each guess. You can implement any algorithm that you want, but, all things being equal, binary search is the best algorithm.
Write the program so that the functionality is split between two classes: GuessingGameProgram, and NumberGuesser.
GuessingGameProgram will only be used for its main function. It should instantiate a NumberGuesser, and it will be responsible for the loop that notifies the user of the next guess, reads the �h�, �l�, or �c� from the user, and sends an appropriate message to the number guesser accordingly.
The guesses themselves should all be generated by the NumberGuesser class. Here is a diagram of the members and methods for the class. Notice that the members are unspecified. Feel free to give your NumberGuesser class any members (which we have also been calling fields, or instance variables) that you find useful. Make them all private.
NumberGuesser
NumberGuesser(int upperLimit, int lowerLimit)
int guess()
void higher()
void lower()
The constructor should take two integer arguments, a lower and upper bound for the guesses. In your program the constructor will be called with bounds of 0 and 100.
The guess method should return the same value if it is called more than once without intervening calls to the lower or higher methods. The class should only change its guess when it receives a message indicating that its next guess should be higher or lower.
Enjoy. Focus your attention on the NumberGuesser class. It is more interesting than the GuessingGameProgram class because it is a general-purpose class, potentially useful to anybody who is writing a number guessing game. Imagine, for instance, that a few weeks from now you are asked to write a number guessing game with a graphical Java Applet front end. If you NumberGuesser class is well written, you may be able to reuse it without any modifications.
I'm new to JAVA and I'm set with my 2nd homework where I'm so confused. I know how to do something of this source in C language, but I'm a bit confused with Java. This is the code me and my classmate worked on, I know it's not 100% of what teacher asked, but is there any way possibly you guys could help me? I wrote this program if the game is played less then 10 times, thought I would then re-create a program without it, but now I'm confused, and my class book has nothing about this :( and I'm so confused and lost, can you please help? And out teacher told us that it's due the end of this week :( wish I knew what to do. Thank you so so much.
Here's the code:

By saying that, I expect you ,and your classmate(s), to study this example and then write your own. Hand it in as-is and you'll be rumbled as a homework-cheat in about 20ms ;)
When you have an attempt where you can explain, without refering to notes, every single line, you've cracked it.
Also (hint) comment your version well so your tutor is left with the impression you know what you're doing.
In addition (huge hint) do not leave the static inner class 'NumberGuesser' where it is. Read your course notes and find out where distinct classes should go.
BTW - Ever wonder if course tutors scan this forum for students looking for help and/or cheating?
It's a double edged sword for you newbies. If you ask a sensible, well researched question, get helpful answers and apply them to your coursework, IMHO you should get credit for doing that.
On the other hand, if you simply post your assignment and sit there hoping some sucker like me will do it for you, you should be taken aside and given a good kicking - or whatever modern educational establishments consider appropriate abmonishment ;)
I'd say this posting is, currently, slap bang between the two extreemes, so impress us. Post your solution in the form you intend to hand it in, and have us comment on it.
Good luck!

Need help with an array function
I'm using the array index function and i would like to be able to control what elements go out on it. For example, if i wanted only the first element to go out, i don't want the second element to send out zero. Is there any way i can control what elements leave the array index function. I also don't understand what the index inputs do on that function either. If anyone has any advice on the application or can modify it in any way, please help.
Attachments:
Array and for loop.vi 1190 KBThe index inputs determine what elements are retrieved. For example of you would wire a 10 and a 20 to your two index inputs, you would bet element #10 and element #20 of your array. You can resize it to get any desired number of elements.
If you don't wire the index inputs, you'll get the first two elements.
If you only wire the top index input (e.g a 10), you'll get element #10 and #11.

Help with Oracle Analytic Function scenario
Hi,
I am new to analytic functions and was wondering if someone could help me with the data scenario below. I have a table with the following data
COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
13368834 34323021 100
13368835 34438258 50
13368834 34438258 50
13368835 34323021 100
The output I want is
COLUMN A COLUMN B COLUMN C
13368834 34323021 100
13368835 34438258 50
A simple DISTINCT won't give me the desired output so i was wondering if there is any way that I can get the result using ANALYTIC FUNCTIONS and DISTINCT ..
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.Hi,
Welcome to the forum!
Whenever you have a question, please post your sample data in a form that people can use to re-create the problem and test their solutions.
For example:
CREATE TABLE table_x
( columna NUMBER
, columnb NUMBER
, columnc NUMBER
INSERT INTO table_x (columna, columnb, columnc) VALUES (13368834, 34323021, 100);
INSERT INTO table_x (columna, columnb, columnc) VALUES (13368835, 34438258, 50);
INSERT INTO table_x (columna, columnb, columnc) VALUES (13368834, 34438258, 50);
INSERT INTO table_x (columna, columnb, columnc) VALUES (13368835, 34323021, 100);Do you want something that works in your version or Oracle? Of course you do! So tell us which version that is.
How do you get the results that you want? Explain what each row of output represents. It looks like
the 1st row contains the 1st distinct value from each column (where "first" means descending order for columnc, and ascending order for the others),
the 2nd row contains the 2nd distinct value,
the 3rd row contains the 3rd distinct value, and so on.
If that's what you want, here's one way to get it (in Oracle 9 and up):
WITH got_nums AS
SELECT columna, columnb, columnc
, DENSE_RANK () OVER (ORDER BY columna ) AS a_num
, DENSE_RANK () OVER (ORDER BY columnb ) AS b_num
, DENSE_RANK () OVER (ORDER BY columnc DESC) AS c_num
FROM table_x
SELECT MAX (a.columna) AS columna
, MAX (b.columnb) AS columnb
, MAX (c.columnc) AS columnc
FROM got_nums a
FULL OUTER JOIN got_nums b ON b.b_num = a.a_num
FULL OUTER JOIN got_nums c ON c.c_num = COALESCE (a.a_num, b.b_num)
GROUP BY COALESCE (a.a_num, b.b_num, c.c_num)
ORDER BY COALESCE (a.a_num, b.b_num, c.c_num)
;I've been trying to find a good name for this type of query. The best I've heard so far is "Prix Fixe Query", named after the menus where you get a choice of soups (listed in one column), appetizers (in another column), main dishes (in a 3rd column), and so on. The items on the first row don't necessaily have any relationship to each other.
The solution does not assume that there are the same number of distinct items in each column.
For example, if you add this row to the sample data:
INSERT INTO table_x (columna, columnb, columnc) VALUES (13368835, 34323021, 99);which is a copy of the last row, except that there is a completely new value for columnc, then the output is:
` COLUMNA COLUMNB COLUMNC
13368834 34323021 100
13368835 34438258 99
50starting in Oracle 11, you can also do this with an unpivot-pivot query. -
Help with remove.Instance function removing the wrong row
Hi there,
I have been working on Livecycle forms for about two weeks now and have been able to work out quite a bit of what I need to do. However, I am really hoping someone can help me with a two problems that I cannot seem to solve.
The first one is; if I click on the 'remove a row' function on my form and it is the only row, it comes up with an error message, How do I stop that from being displayed? I think I need to use the IF function with >1 but cannot seem to get it to work.
Secondly, if for example I add two rows using the +row button to make three rows and in rows 1&2 I input some data. If I then want to delete row 3 and press the -Row button it deletes row number 2 and the data in that row and leaves row number 3. How can I change it so that when I delete a row it deletes row number three and leaves row number 2. essentially, I need it to delete rows from the bottom up and not from the top down. Hope this makes sense. Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Attached is a link to my form.
https://copy.com/RiktBtj0uiSA
Thank you.Hi there,
When removing instances within an object's event which is inside the instance, you must make sure that you remove this particular instance at the end of the event.
E.g.:
If you remove the instance of which the button is inside before even finishing the whole event, the program will not recognize what event is to be finished because you have removed the object's which is fired..
So here you are trying to finish some code which doesn't exist anymore ...
I suggest you should always remove the instance of (this) object at the end of any event to make sure to finish all your actions before deleting the object.
Hope this help! -
Need Help With Save As function Very Important

PLEASE help with my add function
I am very new to Java. Sigh, All i want to do is allow the user to input the details for the patient and then add the new patient to a priority queue.
However, i get the error message "cannot find symbol" , "variable testPq" at the following line... "testPq.add(x, x.priority, x.id);"

"I-prefix-for-interfaces-convention" thing ! Class
names should start with a "C" !i omitted this from the code previously, to save on space....
i have declared the queue in the clinic constructor because a menu driven class when run will create a new clinic, when this new clinic is created it will need to have a Pq in it....everything works fine until i add the line "testPq.add(x, x.priority, x.id);" PLEASE REMEMBER I AM VERY NEW TO ALL OF THIS.....
