How to compute the percent change between 2 cells results

I'm trying to compute the percent of change (whether it be positive or negative) between the values in 2 cells, each of which is displaying the sum of a column of numbers entered manually.
I'm currently using the following formula, and it seems to be working, but I'd really like to know if I'm accomplishing the result using the "correct" method (i.e. the correct convention).
Any comments or corrections would be appreciated.
Current formula:
=Cell A/Cell B-100%
Is this the best method/formula?
Thanks in advance,
Ron Herrmann

In fact the formula would be
=A/B-100%
or
=B/A-100%
given which percentage you which to know
I often use a differerent one:
=(B-A)/A ans of course I apply the percent format to the resulting cell.
I don't know whih is the more efficient.

How to calculate the Percent change in a dynamic

hi All,
I'm trying to get the percent increase/change of two dynamic
colums. In my report, the user has a checkbox where he can select two colums to calculate the percent growth.
My DataSet is PilarName, Calification(is a decimal value) and Period (this is a string). I created the Matrix this way:
PilarName [Period]
[PilarName] [Calification]
Which give me these values:
So, now I need to create another column to calculate the percentage change between these two colums. I tried this:
I added a Adjacent column group for Period column and I grouped by the calculated column "ColumnDiff". Add the following expression.
=(SUM(Fields!Calificacion.Value)- Previous(SUM(Fields!Calificacion.Value),"ColumnDiff"))/Previous(SUM(Fields!Calificacion.Value),"ColumnDiff")
After that I get:
I'm getting the sum of the two columns instead.
Any clue about what I'm doing wrong? Please help me, I've been looking for the answer but any solution works for me.

Hi Luis,
According to your description, you have a report with different dynamic columns. Now what you want is show your user percentage growth in your matrix report after your user select two of those columns (I think you may use parameter to achieve your “checkbox”
function). Is my understanding correct?
In Reporting Service, we can’t calculate dynamic columns with our build-in arrogation functions. So we need to add custom code into our report, and call those functions which defined in custom code in our expression. We have tested your scenario in our local
environment. Here are steps and screenshots for your reference.
Go to your Report Properties, add the custom code below into your report:
Dim Shared Num1 As Double
Dim shared Num2 As Double
Public Function GetCalification(Calification as Double,Type as String,Type2 as String)
If Type = Type2 Then
Num1=Calification
Else
Num2=Calification
End If
Return Calification
End Function
Public Function GetPec()
Return (Num2-Num1)/Num1
End function
Create a matrix. Put PilarName into Row field, put Period into Column field. In Data field, put the expression below into the textbox:
=Code.GetCalification(Fields!Calification.Value,Fields!Period.Value,Parameters!Period.Value(0))
In our sample report, we created a parameter (named Period) for selecting two columns. You can replace “Parameters!Period.Value(0)” with your own parameter.
Add an outside column at right (%Growth), put the expression below into the textbox:
=Code.GetPec()
Save and preview. The matrix and result looks like below:

How to know the database changes between different releases

Where can I get the information of database changes, like for example new columns new tables, etc, between different releases?
My goal to try to determine the current version, or is there a better way?
Thank you

For JD Edwards World or for JD Edwards EnterpriseOne - you can go to upgradejde.com Once this screen comes up, pick Resources. You will then have an option to take JD Edwards EnterpriseOne or JD Edwards World. On the next screen, you can select the tab Compare Releases. This will allow you to enter the release that you are currently on and enter the latest GA release of software. You will then see all the differences between your current release and the release you should upgrade to. You can also format this into a printed report.

How to get the "last changed by" for a set of function modules?

How to get the "last changed by" for a set of function modules?
is there any table to get it??

See [this|Re: Date of creation of function module] I posted earlier.
>TFDIR will give you the name of the function group program and the include number.
>E.g. SAPLZFUNCGROUP Include 01.
>From this you can construct the include name: LZFUNCGROUPU01.
>You can look this up in TRDIR to find the creation date (CDAT) of the function module.
In your case, you need unam and udat.

How to set the text of a cell in Numbers to vertical direction? Tks.

Hi
In Numbers, please tell me how to switch the text of a cell to vertical direction?
Tks.

Hi Kyle,
In Numbers, nothing having to do with a table can be rotated. (In Pages an entire Table can be rotated, but not text within a Table.)
There have been many suggestions posted here over the life of iWork for vertical labels. Most fall into three categories:
1. Type one letter, Option-Return, type another letter, Option-Return, and so forth.
2. Type label in a Text Box, rotate the box, position the box over the table, covering the cell where you need a label.
3. Create a PDF graphic with rotated text and insert it into table cell as Background Fill.
The third option is clearly the best. The steps for option three are:
Insert Text Box
Type label into the box
Rotate the text box
Select the text box (not the text inside the box)
Command-C
Switch to Preview.app
Command-N
Command-C
Switch to Numbers
Click on Cell where the label goes
Command-V
It sounds worse than it is. You can reuse the Text Box so you don't end up with a sheet full of them.
Regards,
Jerry

Hi,
This is caused by mandant settings in scc4. It's better not to make changes in PRD, because then your DEV en QA systems differ.

How to find the structural difference between two tables

you could try something similar to this, for each table pair that you want to compare:
SELECT 'TABLE_A has these columns that are not in TABLE_B', DIFF.*
FROM (
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_A'
         MINUS
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_B'
      ) DIFF
UNION
SELECT 'TABLE_B has these columns that are not in TABLE_A', DIFF.*
FROM (
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_B'
         MINUS
        SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE, DATA_LENGTH
          FROM all_tab_columns
         WHERE table_name = 'TABLE_A'
      ) DIFF;that's assuming, column_name, data_type and data_length are all you want to compare on.

How to sever the update connection between my 2 iPhones?

I have an iPhone 4 and and 2 iPhone 5's that I use together. they have an auto update function that when I add a contact or note in one phone, it automatically updates the other 2 phones. I want to know how to sever the update function between phones. anyone know how to do?

I suspect the reason your devices are still syncing contacts is that they are syncing them with another service such as Google, Yahoo or and exchange account rather than iCloud. Go to Settings>Mail,Contacts,Calendars and tap each of your accounts to see if you have contacts syncing turned on. If you do, you'll have to turn that off in order to stop syncing them across your devices.
If only some of your notes are syncing across your devices, it's probably because not all of them belong to the iCloud account (iCloud only syncs contacts that belong to the iCloud account). If you want them all to sync with iCloud, you'll have to open the Notes app, tap Accounts, then open the notes in your non-iCloud accounts and copy and paste the text into new notes created in the iCloud account.
To have your photos sync between your phones, go to Settings>iCloud>Photos and make sure My Photo Stream is turned on. After that, new photos added to the camera roll will be added to your photo stream whenever the Camera app is closed, your photo is connected to wifi, and has at least 20% battery life remaining. You can access these photos in the My Photo Stream album within the Photos app.
To determine if you're backing up to iCloud, go to Settings>iCloud>Storage & Backup to see if iCloud Backup is turned on.
If you delete your iCloud account from your phone and want to keep your date, begin by saving any photo stream photos to your camera roll and emailing any notes that you are syncing with iCloud to yourself. Then go to Settings>iCloud, tap Delete Account, provide your password and choose Keep on My iPhone when prompted.
If you create a new account on one of your phones you can sync the data in the new account with your other phones in the future by simply signing into the same account on your other phones in Settings>iCloud. When you do, the iCloud data in the new account will download to them as well.
