How to avoid cells being merged in SPREADSHEET output

Hello all,
The PDF output looks excellent. When I use the same report with desformat=SPREADSHEET the output is not good. Each row is occuping two lines (by merging them) and also each report column merged 4 excel columns. The excel columns are merged even though the value can be displayed in just one excel column.
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
Manohar

You have to play with frames and make sure there is absolutely no space between fields. Each frame is translated into an html table and then the resulting html is pushed to excel and then rendered. Most space, especially any space between fields will result in extra columns in excel. You can try 2 approaches, keep putting frames around things until it renders correctly in excel or take an example excel file, save it as html and open it up to see what the HTML looks like. You can skip all the &lthead&gt tag stuff and just get right to the table. A table tag is a frame, a tr tag is a frame (repeating), etc. Then make your report match that.

How to avoid PDF being converted to a useless textbox?

How can you avoid this Adobe programme just converting pdf into textboxes which cannot be edited?

thank you for helping, Florence.
When I put, on my Mac, a pdf letter into MS Word for Mac format using the pdf convertor in Adobe, I do get an apparently fine page. However all the text contained in each paragraph is displayed as a separate text box, and the cursor will not enter it except to highlight whole lines.
So editing it is impossible.
I attach a sample.
Anything to advance my progress, greatly appreciated!
Best regards

How to avoid billing being cancelled in closed period?

My questions is how to configure SAP, so that the user is not able to reverse a billing document in period which is closed for
them in FI module.
One of the ways I thought of doing was to create a new copy routine and assign it to the relevant billing types in the "copy requirements" field.
Is there any other basic setting based on best practise of bussiness process point of view??

Hi,
As per your reply, does your requirement is :
To stop user from creating a cancellation billing documents w.r.t. Invoice, posting period belongs to that invoice is closed?
Then I doubt any standard routine available for the same.
Using the user exit at VF02 or VF11 you can achieve the same (by not allowing to save the cancellation billing document) with the help of an ABAPer.
Please share the solution if got the better alternative.
Thank You.

How to avoid versioning being turned off and how to avoid file loss?

Hi,
I have a customer that requires versioning of documents. So I suggested that all files to be versioned are to be put in a folder that is verison enabled. That works fine.
The problem now is, that let's say 20 versions already exist, and users are still able to turn of versioning. So if someone turns of versioning in that folder, all 20 versions are lost, aren't they?
My question now is: How do I prevent users from turning off the versioning? What options do I have in standard to keep the files? Can I somehow only allow the preson who turned on versioning to also turn it off (incl. Admin)?
I am using a CM Respository.
Thanks for your help,
Dieter.

Hi,
According to the documentation, to disable or enable the versioning all you need is write permissions for the folder.
What you could do is play with the visibility of the Versioning command. You could remove it from menus, or set the Roles With Visibility property to only selected roles. For example if you set the Roles With Visibility to super_admin, then only the super admin will be able to see the command.
Either that or you could create a custom versioning command that will take care of all that you want.
Best regards,
Avishai Zamir

How to avoid StartMonth being smaller than &CurFstMo?

Happy Friday 13th!
Please take a look at my situation:
Planning Data Forms: Two scenarios: Forecast -> CurYr (Jan - Jun: Read only. Actuals are copied over at the end of Jun. Jul - Dec: Input)
Budget -> NextYr (Jan-Dec: Input)
Issue: When adding a TBH, users are able to select the StartMonth earlier than June for CurYr, but we only want them to be able to add a TBH to Jul - Dec for CurYr and Jan-Dec for NextYr.
I checked the BR in the Wrkforce module and noticed that "Start Month" = [StartMonth]->"Cal TP-Index";
We don't own the Wrkforce module here and the admin guide doesn't have a section for variables, so I couldn't figure out what the above formula means.
Any tips?
Thanks,
Mehmet

Hi Mehmet,
You can place a code piece on top, i.e
If (@ismbr(&curryr))
If (@ismbr(jul:dec))
Do your thing;
Else
Do nothing;
Endif
Elseif (@ismbr(&nextyr))
Do your thing;
Else
Do nothing;
Endif

How do I unmerge multiple cells in an excel spreadsheet?

This is driving me nuts! I have no problem using excel on a PC but I can't for the life of me figure out how to unmerge cells on a mac. I've tried opening the formatting toolbox and going to alignment/spacing and then clicking in the "merge cells" box. The merge check box does not have a checkmark but rather a dash. When I click on it I get the following error message: "merging into one cell will keep the upper-left most data only". I am working on a large spreadsheet and normally on a pc I would click on the little triangle on upper left corner of the spreadsheet to select the entire spreadsheet and unmerge. It's usually not a big problem on a PC so I'm hoping there's a simple way to do this on a mac and I just haven't found it yet. HELP!!

Since this question is about a Microsoft product, you might have more luck getting suggestions if you ask in Microsoft's own forums.
Regards.

A cell blocked from being merged

What would cause a cell to be blocked from being merged, such as cell # a26, with the cells immediately to the right?

Stephen,
You can hover over the Column A Label and click the disclosure triangle to get the column menu and select Delete column. That will eliminate the Header column. You can also delete it in the Table Inspector or the Table Menu.
As to why they put it there, well, that's the only place it can go and I guess they thought you would want a header column. It's a way of introducing the feature to new users. You can always make a User Template with a plain table for future use in new docs.
Thanks for the feedback on the solution.
Jerry
p.s. Numbers gives you plenty of options for avoiding having to merge cells and it's generally a good idea not to merge of split. The result of merging or splitting is often that you find that you are unable to sort, delete columns or rows, etc. later.

How to hide rows with merged cells?

I would like to know how to hide rows on numbers with merged cells, could do it normally at excel but I am not being able to do it at Numbers.
thanks!

Felipe,
To hide a row with Merged Cells, Un-Merge first, then Hide. Select the Merged Cells and Table > Unmerge.
Note that this is only a problem with vertically merged cells when you want to Hide a Row.
If you want to Hide a Column, you can't have a Horizontal Merge that involves that Column.

How do I display a few cells from an excel spreadsheet

Can a page be created that sets a field that displays
information located in an excel spreadsheet located on a different
server?
Basically there is a cell within an excel spreadsheet that
gets updated daily, and I want the coldfusion to reflect the change
real time.
I can see the excel file using this code:
<cfhttp method="get" url="
http://test/test.xls"
throwonerror="yes">
<cfoutput>#CFHTTP.filecontent#</cfoutput>
</cfhttp>
But it shows up as a bunch of gobblygook on the screen. How
can I detail it down to only 2 cells in the spreadsheet, and make
it look normal?

If you know Java, you can use POI:
http://jakarta.apache.org/poi/
It's fairly easy to use, but I haven't written anything
that's general enough to do something like "Give me cell A2 from
this Excel file". Everything I've done with it has been specialized
to the specific task at hand.

Try resetting your device by holding down both the home and lock buttons for ~10 seconds or until the device restarts, ignoring the power slider.

How do you put a signature cell in a numbers spreadsheet?

How do you put a signature cell in a numbers spreadsheet?

I'm a car dealer and I created the bill of sale for my dealership in a Numbers spread sheet. I want to be able to use my iPad mini w retina for customers to sign directly on my iPad then print out the BoS with signatures on it so I can make transactions easier for my customers in case I have to meet them somewhere instead of my office. Then I would have the ability to send them another copy if they happen to lose theirs without digging thru my files to find the hard copy and scan and send it to them.
Thanks

How to avoid merged columns on conversion

Dear All,
I have built some reports using Oracle Developer Report Suit. All is well and working fine but when I send report output to Excel file I am facing following two issues:
1) It goes always to .xls file which is excel 97 format and having limit of maximum 65 thousands rows. Can I convert report to excel 2010 .xlsx file as my reports sometime contains large number of rows?
2) When I convert into excel all information comes normally with proper format but some of report columns occupy multiple excel columns which is causing difficulties in sorting and other function in excel. How to avoid it?
I would be glade to hear from you guys to resolve above issues.
Thanks!

1) I have a detail report which contains more than 100 thousands rows. This report is already on menu and available to users. User have got an option on menu that they can select output either 'screen' or 'spreadsheet'. If user select option as 'spreadsheet', report open in excel file but in old excel and truncating excessive rows as .xls have limitation of maximum 65 thousands rows. I do not want to use 'csv' format as directly conversion into excel is more convinient for users. If report contains less than 65 thousands rows then everything is fine and no issues with the report. I hope I could explain real problem this time.65 thousands rows is the limitation of that version u use. I use Microsoft Office 2010 where limitation is 1048576 is a sheet.
One solution is uninstall the present Office version and use Office 2010.
2) Regarding second point, I have a summary report which is all fine and showing desired output in desired format. But when user want output in excel file, some of report columns occupy more than one columns and causing difficulties for users. Actually users do need to convert few reports into excel and work with formulas in excel but in this situation they have to do lots of changes in format before applying formulas. A sample screen shot of a report and converted report in excel file both can be seen on this link [https://skydrive.live.com/?cid=573511bde4261fe6#cid=573511BDE4261FE6&id=573511BDE4261FE6%21120]
I'm not sure about the solution. Most probably you have more space in repeating frame and cause this thing happen. shorter the space in the frame and try.
Hope this will help you.
