How can I develop a data entry front end for numbers spreadsheet?

I have a spreadsheet which I have to enter data on a routine basis and I was hoping to develop an easy front end template to simplify the entry.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Hi confusedaboutmovies,
Perhaps this will help. Phone calls or whatever.
Column A is formatted as Date & Time for 24 hour clock
Full date and 24 hour time.
Cell A4 has the 24 hour clock time entered and is waiting for me to press the enter (return) key to show this:
You can use the 12 hour clock if you like. But then you must add am or pm.
Just a suggestion...
Regards,
Ian.

  • How can I define the possible entries for "invoicing process" at fkkinv_ma?

    At the transaction code fkkinv_ma, I fill in the fields "Date ID" and "Identification" but I have a problem with the field of "Invoicing Process". When I psh theF4 button, there comes no search help. What should I do? Should I define the possible entries first? If I should, how can I define the possible entries for "invoicing process"? How is the customization done?
    Thanks in advance for the answers.

    You have to define them in the IMG 
    Financial Accounting (new)
    Contract Account Recievable and Payable
    Business Transactions
    Invoicing
    Invoice Types
    You have to set up a number range, decide what type of Financial transactions should not be invoiced -- like  Dunning Charges
    then you have to have a developer create the form and form class of invoice.

  • How can i lookup a data source v5 in WSAD 5.1?

    Hi all,
    I'm using WSAD 5.1 to developer a web application based on J2EE 1.3 that have a simple java classes. My application uses a data source version 5 to have access the database. I?m using service locator pattern to lookup a JNDI but it dont work properly on stand alone java classes, only on EJB components.
    How can i lookup a data source version 5 from my java class on WSAD 5.1?
    Can anyone help?
    Thanks,

    Oh I did not realize that you were talking about a stand-alone application. You cannot use the server datasources in your stand-alone application.
    You can use the Oracle helper classes to construct a DataSource on the client side.
    http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/javax/sql/DataSource.html and driver specific documentation to achieve this. I will try to send a few links, if I find any.
    In a stand-alone application, you can use some connection pooling mechanism on your own.
    The ideal thing to do is to keep your data access in your middle tier (EJBs) and call the EJB's. This way you can reuse things in multiple client tiers and use the container provided datasource and connection pooling mechanisms.
    Hope this helps.

  • I can view the data in front end form, but data is not avilable in backend

    Hi,
    i created a form with three blocks.In first block i entered the data.Based on the data it will fetch recodrs from A & B tables and insert into C table.This logic i have written in backend and put commit in front end and back end. In the 2nd block iam using C table. i can view the data in front end(C table) . But i unable to
    see the data in C table when i go and see in back end.
    Form is used for only querying purpose. for the C block insert allowed and update allowed is false.
    Plz do the need ful

    Please try and post sufficient information for someone to replicate your problem. We are not looking over your shoulder and do not have access to your database.
    We need a minimum table structure, example data, a walk-through of how the form works - you mention 3 blocks and only half-way describe 1. Is another for the C block? Or is that a different form?
    e.g. Enter search data in Block A. Execute Query. Blocks A and B populated with data from database tables based on FK relationship B to A. User presses Save button, procedure in form updates table C based on data in form and issues commit. Execute Query in Block C retrieves just inserted data in table C.
    Is that remotely what's happening? Or something completely different?

  • How can I extract a dates column from an ascii file

    I am extracting data from an ascii file and the rest of the data is extracted using read from spreadsheet, but the date appears as just the day e.g. 22 for 22nd, how can I get the date, format in ascii is e.g 22/04/2006, can I do this by specifying something at format of read from spreadsheet ? Cheers
    Emily

    Hi,
    I found the other day that there are instructions included inside the Read From Spreadsheet vi on how to modify it slightly to read strings rather than doubles.
    If you drop the Read From Spreadsheet  vi onto the block diagram and double click on it, you will open the front panel for the vi. If you then select the block diagram (for Read From Spreadsheet) you will see an 'instructions' frame below the main 'code', and the 3rd paragraph tells you how to modify the VI to read the spreadsheet as a set of strings rather then doubles. Save the vi as a new filename when you've edited it or you will overwrite the existing vi!
    Using the newly modified vi you can read in your entire spreadsheet, extract the dates as strings, then do any conversion necessary to the other columns of the sheet to change them into the types of value you require (eg doubles).
    I hope this helps.

  • How can i convert the data from mutiple-table to the other database(MSSQL)?

    Dears,
    How can i convert the data from mutiple-table to the other database such as MS-SQL?
    I have a third party system based on MS-SQL 2000.
    Now we want to make a integration between SAP R/3(Oracle) and SQL server.
    When my user releases the purchase order in R/3, the application we coded will convert the releated data to the temp database on the SQL server.
    But i don't know which tools will help me reach the purpose.  BAPI, LSMW, IDoc... ???
    Would anybody tell me which way is better and how to do?
    Thanks a lot!
    Kevin Wang

    Hello Kevin,
    The question to use which method depend on your detail requirements. If you use BAPI, you need to find which Bapi can provide the data you want. Bapi normally use as a function called by external system. So you need to develop an external program like VB/Java to call this Bapi and move it to SQL. LSMW is use when you want to upload data from an external system to SAP. So it does not serve your requirement. Idoc can be use to export data to an external system. Again like Bapi, you need to find what Idoc can provide the data you want. However, it does not any programming from the external system. If I were you, based on your requirements, I think writing an Abap program that read the data you want and download it to NT/SQL server will be faster and easier.

  • How can I set the data binding between Web Dynpro & Database table

    Hi,
    You can write your own connection class for establishing the connection with DB.
    Ex:
    public class  ConnectionClass {
    static Connection con = null;
    public static Connection getConnection() {
    try{
    Context ctx = new InitialContext();
    DataSource ds = (DataSource) ctx.lookup("jdbc/TSPAGE");
    con = ds.getConnection();
    return con;
    }catch(Exception e){
    return null;
    You can place the above class file in src folder and you can use this class in webdynpro.
    You can have another UserInfo class for reading and writing the data into the DB .

  • How can I transfer outlook data from Ipod to new hard drive?

    My hard drive had to be replaced last week. Although my music was backed up by Norton 360, my Outlook contacts and calendar were not backed up. How can I transfer my data from my Ipod to my new hard drive? I am running Windowa XP, if that matters. Will a sync to Itunes destroy all my data on my Ipod?

    You would need to enter at least one unique contact and calendar entry on the new computer, then when you first sync you should get the option to merge the data.

  • How can I find a data base table containing a GUID, which is result of the macro's execution?

    Hello,
    please help me to understand how the macros work. I am facing database inconsistency. The CRM-system retrieves a GUID of an opportunity’s item and checks its existence. However, this GUID (here it is es_info-ref_object) does not exist. As result, an exception is triggered.
    I am trying to figure out which data base table is responsible for the inconsistent data. Instead of SELECT statement, I see in the debugger that a macro retrieves the “guilty” entry .
    macro_execute macro_msg_data_read_rea.
    My Question: How can I find a data base table containing a GUID, which is result of the macro’s execution?
    Thanks a lot

    When you save a PDF out of Distiller it doesn't just have different options, it's an entirely different program. It doesn't do things the same way, so it can't have the same options. Saving from Distiller is in many ways better, expecially in that transparency isn't flattened.
    What specific options are you looking for?

  • How can i write the data to PIC16F819 using labview?

    how can i write the data to PIC16F819 using labview?
    Need help!
    im using labview in gathering the datas that i need to right to the PIC, then after getting all the datas i am using another program which is ICD2 in order to write it to the PIC. Is it possible to do this task through LV? coz we are spending a lot of time transferring the data from LV to ICD2 manually and its prone to mistake as well.
    any suggestion?
    thanks,

    LabVIEW does not currently have a built-in method to communicate with
    i2c, but there are other vendors that sell devices to communicate in
    this manner with LabVIEW development kits.  One that I know of is
    from MCC... here is a link:  http://www.mcc-us.com
    They sell a device called iPort, and then you can buy LabVIEW VIs to go with it.  I hope this is helpful to you!

  • How can i delete app data on iPhone without uninstalling the app?

    How can i delete app data on iPhone 4 without removing the application.     Facebook application size -57mb. And its app data is 70mb  

    This is ridiculous!
    Imagine this scenario, can't be that unlikely:
    I'm going away on holiday, or away on work for a while, and I'm not taking the computer to which I sync my phone. Before I leave I fill my iPhone up with music to take with me. While I'm travelling I want to install a new app, but I don't have space. I look to delete content from the phone - I can delete podcasts but not music. Unfortunately I don't have enough podcasts to free up space that way. So I don't purchase the app I wanted.
    This is bad for:
    1. The user (me)
    2. The app developer - lost download.
    3. Apple - they lose their cut of the app download, and royally p#@* off a user.
    Can someone explain to me why this limitation is good for anyone?!

  • How can I load my data faster?  Is there a SQL solution instead of PL/SQL?

    11.2.0.2
    Solaris 10 sparc
    I need to backfill invoices from a customer. The raw data has 3.1 million records. I have used pl/sql to load these invoices into our system (dev), however, our issue is the amount of time it's taking to run the load - effectively running at approx 4 hours. (Raw data has been loaded into a staging table)
    My research keeps coming back to one concept: sql is faster than pl/sql. Where I'm stuck is the need to programmatically load the data. The invoice table has a sequence on it (primary key = invoice_id)...the invoice_header and invoice_address tables use the invoice_id as a foreign key. So my script takes advantage of knowing the primary key and uses that on the subsequent inserts to the subordinate invoice_header and invoice_address tables, respectively.
    My script is below. What I'm asking is if there are other ideas on the quickest way to load this data...what am I not considering? I have to load the data in dev, qa, then production so the sequences and such change between the environments. I've dummied down the code to protect the customer; syntax and correctness of the code posted here (on the forum) is moot...it's only posted to give the framework for what I currently have.
    Any advice would be greatly appreciated; how can I load the data faster knowing that I need to know sequence values for inserts into other tables?

    Hello
    You could use insert all in your case and make use of sequence.NEXTVAL and sequence.CURRVAL like so (excuse any typos - I can't test without table definitions). I've done the first 2 tables, so it's just a matter of adding the rest in...
    INSERT ALL
         INTO      invoice nologging
                    VALUES   (     SEQ_INVOICE_ID.NEXTVAL,
                                   BILL_DATE,
                                    my_guid,
                                    '111111',
                                    'NONE',
                                    CAST(BILL_DATE AS TIMESTAMP),
                                    CAST(UPDT_DT AS TIMESTAMP),
                                    'READ',
                                    'PAPER',
                                    payer_customer,
                                    parsed_francises,
                                    '111111'
         INTO      invoice_header
              VALUES   (      SEQ_INVOICE_ID.CURRVAL,
                        TRIM (LEADING 0 FROM billing_document), --invoice_num
                        NULL,
                        BILL_DATE,                 --invoice_date

         WHERE   i.bc_name = src.BILLING_TYPE;Some things to note
    1. Don't commit in a loop - you only add to the run time and load on the box ultimately reducing scalability and removing transactional integrity. Commit once at the end of the job.
    2. Make sure you specify the list of columns you are inserting into as well as the values or columns you are selecting. This is good practice as it protects your code from compilation issues in the event of new columns being added to tables. Also it makes it very clear what you are inserting where.
    3. If you use WHEN OTHERS THEN... to log something, make sure you either rollback or raise the exception. What you have done in your code is say - I don't care what the problem is, just commit whatever has been done. This is not good practice.
