How do I create a variable that uses Previous() and references itself.

I am trying to create a crosstab with a number of meaures in it. I have a variable called opening stock and another called closing stock. The opening stock for day 2 is the closing stock for day 1 and is a variable [LV Opening Stock] defined as =Previous([closing stock];Row).  This works fine. But, the closing stock for day 2 is the opening stock plus production minus sales. So my variable has to reference the previous days closing stock.
When it is defined as =[LV Opening Stock]+[Planned Production Qty]-[Forecast Daily Qty] it validates but when I try to save it I get the following message :  The formula for variable [LV Opening Stock] contains a reference to a variable with the same short name. You must use the fully-qualified variable name in the formula to remove this ambiguity. (Error: WIS 10040)
How do I solve this? What is the fully-qualified name? Is it because it's effectively referencing itself?
I'm using XI R2 sp4
Thanks
John

  • How can I create an action that uses "Find and replace"?

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to create an action that will use "Find and replace" to change certain words and phrases in my .psd-files. These are words and phrases I change a lot (I'm translating emails and website banners) and I would like to speed up that process using actions.
    When I tried to create the action I got the error message "The object "in contents of all text layers" is not currently available".
    Then I tried "insert menu items" and chose "Find and replace" and then did my change, but then it stopped when the FAR-window popped up. That's what I want to skip, so it just changes my words and phrases that I want.
    Is this possible?
    Best,
    Carl

    Anyway, in the Script in that other thread the function replaceText takes two Strings, so something like
    function main () {
    var myDocument = app.activeDocument;
    replaceText ("replace this", "with this")
    would be a possibility.

  • I need to know how I will create a dynamic website using php and mysql

    I need to know how will I create a dynamic website using php and mysql that people could have the abilities of registering in the website, and modify their profile where they can add their pictures and everything. apart from that, they should have the ability to search about other member. hope to here more from you.

    If you are a right-brained creative, and have no previous experience or propensity to be able to understand coding and database "stuff", and/or if your time can be better spent on other skills, I recommend you save your sanity and hire a developer... or at least the first time around. I have been attempting to grasp this for years... and have a library of marked up books to prove my efforts, all while trying to keep up with an ongoing client base that is always cramped. It's a wonder I still have my sanity... then again, I might not be the best person to determine that. Others might question it.
    That said, I still plan to master php... one of these days.

  • How do I create a variable that is a time?

    What I need is a variable that is a time such as 13:00 that can be used in an equation like 13:00 - 12:30 = 00:30 or 13:00 - 12:45 = 00:15 etc.
    I have no idea how to do this because if I use something like:
    var Onsite = 12:30
    var Offsite = 13:00
    I get the following message:
    Consecutive statements on a line must be separated by ;
    It is pointing to the : and that makes sense but if I use this:
    var Onsite = "12:30"
    var Offsite = "13:00"
    Then I can't use it as an equation because it is being treated as text.
    Any ideas?

    Look at the NSDate class if your using Objective-C (or Swift), it can be used to create points in time (date + time) and can determine the distance (in seconds) between to points, using the -timeIntervalSince* methods.

  • How do I create a treepanel that uses a specific path as its root?

    I want to create a treepanel which uses a specific path in my /content directory (eg. /content/a/b/c) as it's root node.
    If I'm working in CRXDE, how would I set that up?
    So far, I created a tab with a tree panel with attributes:
    root: /content/a/b/c
    xtype: treepanel
    This gets me a treepanel with the root node, but it does not open.  When I click on the "+" beside it, it only spins.  What am I missing in order to set this up?

  • How do I create a new instrument using .exs and .wav?

    I have a .exs file and samples that I downloaded from
    http://www.phunkynutts.com/steeldrum.php
    I am trying to get these to work as an instrument. I know that the Rhythm Jam Pack has Caribbean Steel Drums and they sound OK but there's no way to get a roll, which is an important part of steel pan playing. These samples include rolls. I actually have GarageBand 8 but if te solution requires 9 I'll upgrade.
    What I did, which didn't work, was
    1. Put the .exs file in place
    2. Drop the samples in a folder with the same name
    3. Edited the carribean steel drums .cst file to reference the above and saved it with the proper name.
    The instrument shows up but it plays piano, not the samples. My instrument isn't in the drop-down menu to change it. If I change it to AuAudioFilePlayer and select my samples, the samples play within the instrument "preview" window but not when using the keyboard. What do I need to do to make it work?

    Sorry not to be more clear.  It is a name assigned to one of the 
    frames by the person who originally designed the website and is shown 
    in the list of about 150 action frames that were created in this 
    particular fla document.  This "list" comes up in the left hand column 
    of the Action-Frame box. When I click on Load Code 380 which is half 
    way down the column of frames, the following text comes up on the 
    large screen to the right of the column of 130 frames.
    IMAGE.gotoAndPlay("start");
    loadVariables("data/series01/15title.txt", "_root.IMAGE.TITLE");
    loadVariables("data/series01/15price.txt", "_root.IMAGE.PRICE");
    loadMovie("data/series01/about.swf", "_root.IMAGE.ABOUT");
    IMAGE.mc_pic.attachMovie("pic","pic",1,)
    IMAGE.mc_picTHUMB.attachMovie("pic","pic",1,)
    This text is what I am trying to transfer to copy then paste into a 
    new frame after which time I want to slightly edit the text.  I am not 
    a programer so I apologize if I am not using all of the correct 
    terminology.
    Thank you again,  Jon

  • How do You create menu buttons that move up and down with a remote?

    I have six menu items that are linked to their proper locations. When I simulated it a Hand moves over the proper choice then when I click there we go.
    But on the DVD simulator you can't navigate. I thought maybe I would bring in one of the templates to use their buttons I can't get my images to replace theirs. Any help appreciated.
    Jerome

    Take a look here to make sure buttons are being set properly
    http://dvdstepbystep.com/buttons07m.php
    And download the movie if you like
    I create a button, then set the text and include highlights
    I then create another button, then set the text and the include highlights
    I then click on the menu and go to the inspector to see colors
    RED Normal
    BLUE Selected
    YELLOW Activated
    In simulater I then use the remote control and CANNOT navigate through the buttons
    I stop Simulator and then use Auto Assign Buttons Now Command, then relaunch Simulator and get the remote control to work
    Make sure to link the button to the track you want to go to.
    I thought the issue is that you cannot navigate the buttons with the remote control? If you only have one button on the screen, it will always be selected (Yellow in your project as described)
    If it is flashing Megenta and nothing happens, it means a target has not been set (or somehow you are targeting the menu again)
    So the only two condiitions you will see is yellow or magenta.

  • Creating short photo gallery using previous and next frame A3.0

    I'm creating a simple photo gallery.
    Can someone tell me the right code this is what I'm remember. I forgot.
    next_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goNext);
    previous_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, goBack);
    function goNext(e:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop("nextFrame");
    function goBack(e:MouseEvent):void {
    gotoAndStop("previoudFrame");
    I know it's wrong can someone help me out?
    Thanks

    inside your functions use just
    nextFrame();
    and
    prevFrame();
    and get rid of those gotoAndStop and it should work...

  • How do I create a variable name on the fly?

    Hi,
    If I have a String containing a value, how do I create a variable name using that value during program execution? That is if I have
    String fred = "newvar";
    How do I then create a new String with the name "newvar" (using the contents of fred)? I will never know what the content of fred is until this point. What I'd like to be able to do is something like
    String fred.subString(0) = "a new value";
    Obviously this won't work but if it did the statement would evaluate to something like
    String newvar = "a new value";
    Appreciate any help you can give,
    Dave.

    Here u go:
       private JCheckBox AddCheckBox( String strText, int nTextID )
          JCheckBox checkbox = null;
          Class checkboxDefinition;
          Class[] stringArgsClass = new Class[] {String.class};
          Constructor stringArgsConstructor;
          Object[] stringArgs = null;
          String arg = "";
          arg = "CheckBox" + nTextID;
          String label = new String(arg);
          stringArgs = new Object[] {label};
          try
            checkboxDefinition = Class.forName("javax.swing.JCheckBox");
            stringArgsConstructor = checkboxDefinition.getConstructor(stringArgsClass);
            checkbox = (JCheckBox) createObject(stringArgsConstructor, stringArgs);
            checkbox.setName(label);
            checkbox.setText(strText);
            checkbox.setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(CQuestionBase.PAGEWIDTH, 21));
            checkbox.putClientProperty("1",new Integer(nTextID));
            checkbox.setVisible(true);
          catch (ClassNotFoundException e)
            System.out.println(e);
          catch (NoSuchMethodException e)
            System.out.println(e);
          return checkbox;
       }This code was based on an example I found about two years ago. You can use the same methodolgy to create objects of any kind. Again, look at java.lang.Reflect.

  • Creating a button that flips back and forth on iPad in InDesign through DPS

    How do I create a button that flips back and forth on iPad in InDesign through DPS. I saw it on a food magzine on an ipad ... it's just a circle with text it in, when you click it the whole circle flips to the other side and there is a different color with different text. The circle does not change position, it just flips. Again, I want to do this so it shows up on the ipad through DPS.
    Thanks,
    Jay

    You need to create a Web overlay. There's an HTML example you can download and repurpose in this article:

  • How can i reuse same variables that i create using c:set var="index" /

    hi all,
    please some one helpme!!!!!!
    how can i reuse same variable that i create using
    <c:set var="index" value="${0}"/>
    cause later in the program i use index to do some condition and based on that i increment ...
    so for example if i say...
    <c:if test="${index==0}">
    <c:set var="index" value="${index+1}"/>
    </c:if>
    will it be like
    if(index==0)
    index++;
    can i do like i did be4. if not what do i need to do to reuse. cause i use the variable atleast 5 time and its keep changing on diff condition level.

    Have you tried it?
    It should work, provided you are on the same page.
    The c:set tag creates the variable in pageScope by default.
    If you forward to another JSP you need to set the scope to be "request" so that it is still available.

  • Workflows: How to set a workflow variable that is the difference in hours between now and a created date

    I'm trying to create a variable that contains the number of hours between the item created date and Now.  When i use TODAY, it seems to set the time at 12:00 rather than the time now - so that throws the hours off.  Any ideas?
    ajw

    Hi ajw,
    According to your description, my understanding is that you want to calculate the hours between the item created date and now.
    It seems to be not an OOB way to implement your requirement, to get the current time, you need to create a custom workflow activity for SharePoint 2010 workflow. About creating custom workflow activity, you can refer to the links below:

    Or, you can use a third party solution to achieve your requriement.

  • How do I create a variable video delay of a live stream...

    I have a live video feed from my webcam in my Flash Application. I have a second video window next to it that I want to place a variable delayed video of the live stream. Therefore, I need to save the video stream in memory/disk and create this variable delay, say 5-60 seconds. As well as, continue to capture the live stream. The camera I am using suppots H.264 encoding.
    How do I create a variable length queue or buffer to hold the video stream coming into the flash application. Do I create a memory variable or write this to disk ? I have been looking over the ActionScript 3.0 documentation and I can not figure out how to code this either way ( as a memory variable or write to disk queue ).
    I want to be able to change the delay, view the delay stream in slow motion and scrub through the delayed stream.
    I would like to do this with out having to use Flash Media Server.
    Thanks,
    Bob

    I am sure it is practically impossible to accomplish that on the client side. Although theoretically it is conceivable to use NetStream.appendBytes() but it requires an extremely complex implementation.
    I suggest you look into FMS DVR capacities:
