Hi,
Please try this code:
Sub DeleteBlankColumns()
Dim c As Integer
'declare c as variable for column number
c = ActiveSheet.Cells.SpecialCells(xlLastCell).Column
'save last column number in used range
Do Until c = 0
'Loop for each column number until it equals 0
If WorksheetFunction.CountA(Columns(c)) = 0 Then
'Check if entire column is blank
Columns(c).Delete
'if column is blank delete column
End If
'closes if statement
c = c - 1
'proceeds to the next lowest column number
Loop
End Sub

Identify empty rows in Excell using POI

Hi,
Could U please tell me how to identify empty rows in Excell sheet using Apachi POI (poi-3.6-20091214.jar).
Thanks.
DNA

Hi,
I used the following algorithm to identify empty rows (contains value deleted cells). within the main program it is used to by pass the empty rows in an excel sheet.
If some one has a better solution please do share it with us.
Program to identify empty rows
{color:#3366ff}BEGIN
row -> Instance of the row iterator. Goes through each row.
cell -> Instance of the cell iterator. Goes through each cell.
isCellEmpty -> boolean value to assign status.
rowsToOmit -> An ArrayList which stores the omitted rows.
WHILE(Has another row){
get Cell Iterator of row
WHILE(Cell Iterator Has another cell){
IF(cell value == "")
then isCellEmpty is TRUE
ELSE{
then isCellEmpty is FALSE
BREAK
IF(isCellEmpty value is true)
Add row to rowsToOmit
END{color}

please help me.

Hi,
This is more a question for the BSP forum.
Anyway, as such it's realy easy since you can use HTML in order to import to Excel. All you need to do is add
runtime->server->response->set_header_field( name = 'Contnet-Type'
value = 'application/vnd.ms-excel' ).
runtime->server->response->delete_header_field( name = 'Cache-Control' ).
runtime->server->response->delete_header_field( name = 'Expires' ).
runtime->server->response->delete_header_field( name = 'Pragma' ).

How to delete an operation from order using the bapi

Can somebody please tell me how to delete an operation from order using the bapi
BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN.
Following was the test data for the BAPI.
000000 OPERATION DELETE 0000040052810070
000000 SAVE 0000040052810070
Even I tried entering the operation table. The BAPI control ends fine, but when I check the order using IW32, the operation still exists.
So, can you please tell me where Iam going wrong.

Hi Subash Mohanvel,
Check bapireturn parameter of the bapi BAPI_ALM_ORDER_MAINTAIN after execution of the code , and if there is no error message in the return table then call bapi_Transaction_commit.
Unless you call this database saving of the records/values will not get reflected in the system.
Hope that helps.

Hello Dora,
if you need more than simple csv: at Re: How to save a query result and export it to, say excell? you can find links to different solutions. At least the package behind the second link supports defining your own formats (and has a tutorial how to do it).

How to Avoid Empty Space in Excel Export , while using SubReport.

We have a sceneraio where we have parent child relationship and we are using the SubReport Concept to map the child data by taking input parameter from Parent Report.
The RPL/HTMl viewer , PDF works fine, but when we export data into excel empty rows are comming.
Could you please suggest how can we avoid empty space in Excel Export.
we have kept the cell (width and height ) same as SubReport Width and height.

Hi SubhadipRoy,
According to your description, did you use separate subreport to display the data rather than insert subreport in tablix?
Based on my test, if we are use separate subreport to display the data in the report, when we export to Excel we will get an additional row. We can adjust the minimum gap between tablix and subreport to work around the issue. In SSRS 2012, if we paste tablix
and subreport without empty space in report design, it will not display the additional row. You can try to put the tablix and subreport in a rectangle to resolve the issue.
Reference:

If the issue is persist, please elaborate the issue for further investigation.

Hi,
I am using Jdev 11.1.1.3.0 and Excel 2007 for Oracle ADF DI, I had created an ADF table using pageDef file in the excel. Now I wanted to delete that table and use a different pageDef file.
I could not find a way to delete that table.

My question how to delete the table not corrupting the Excel.
Thanks

Pavan,,
Welcome to OTN.
You can delete the table by selecting the top left column (of the table) and then select delete from the ADFdi tab.
Refer the documentation for more info.

How to delete empty Last Import albums on Ipad2

This is both a question and a partial solution to anyone who has found empty Last Import albums on their Ipad2 after upgrading to IOS 5.1. I ended up with three Last Import albums on my Ipad under the Photos App after the upgrade to 5.1 and Iphoto app.
I could not delete them no matter what I tried. Even turned off Photo sync in Itunes and had it remove all photos from the Ipad and the empty folders are still there.
I ended up trying a round about way of getting rid of the empties. I reasoned that the Camera Connection kit had created this mess and maybe it could fix it.
Solution: (Only practical with a few empty folders)
Shoot some photos with a digital camera using a SD card.
Put the SD Card in the Camera Connection Kit and connect to the Ipad. Import the images but keep them on the card.
Disconnect the CCK and hook up to your Mac with Iphoto running. Import the images and delete from the Ipad when asked.
Delete photos from Iphoto.
Repeat several times and you should notice that each time one more Last Import album vanishes from the Ipad.
Hope this helps someone else with this problem and Apple comes out with a better solution to this.

I found a solution! I added a comment over on the shimworld blog (http://shimworld.wordpress.com/2011/11/02/how-to-remove-empty-photo-import-event s-on-your-ipad-2/#comment-18392), I'll repost it here:
I ran into this same issue on my new iPad(3rd gen) after upgrading from iPad 2, I had a few hundred empty events(it took at least 30s of scrolling as fast as I could to reach the bottom). I use the camera connection kit as well as the EyeFI app to import photos constantly so it was a bit of a mess. I’m doing a road trip to SF area soon and needed space for new photos so I need to figure something out. After a bunch of digging around on the internet and looking into tools from my earlier jailbreaking days, I found a solution to do a full reset on the Photos.app. This does NOT require a jailbreak!
First I imported all photos to my mac using Image Capture. Then I turned off iCloud’s PhotoStream, turned off photo syncing in iTunes and let a the iPad do a full sync and backup. Next I ran DiskAid and deleted the photo related folders under the File System -> Media area(see below). This removed EVERYTHING from the Photos.app. Then I rebooted the iPad. The Photos.app was empty just like on a new device! I snapped a couple pics with the camera and it created the camera roll, I turned PhotoStream back on, synced some photos from iTunes. Everything seems to be working great now, just like new!
BEWARE: THIS WILL DELETE ALL PHOTOS STORED ON YOUR DEVICE in Photos.app!!! MAKE A BACKUP!!!!
Connect iOS device with USB and fire up DiskAid. In DiskAid click File System, then click Media. READ WARNING and accept.
Delete these folders:
PhotoData (this has all the photos, database, etc synced from iTunes)
DCIM (this is the camera roll)
Photos (I think this is just the data to determine which iTunes library its synced with)
PhotoStreamsData (iCloud Photo Stream data)
Reboot iPad(probably not required but doesn’t hurt)
Enjoy a fully reset Photos.app!
DiskAid: I used v5.12 on my Mac Mini(10.7.3)

How to delete cube old request by using abap code?

Dear experts,
Here is one thing need your help:
We have one cube need to delete the old request. This cube is loaded daily and only need to delete the request of that month.
I know there is one "Delete Overlap Requet" type in the process chain, but my concern is: in our DTP filter, different day the selection will have different values, let's say A and B, and A and B are not even overlap at all.
So my question is:
1. Can I still use "Delete Overlap Request" to delete the old request?
2. If so, I see it can be implemented by abap routine, can anyone give me some sample code? Like how to delete request only in this month. And how to delete request whose selection is equal to a specific value.
Note: one of the source cube is real time cube so can not delete the request from infopackage.
Any post will be appreciated and thank you all for your time in advance!
Regards.
Tim

How to delete empty element in popup list

I have a question about a suspicious behaviour in Forms Builder 10.1.2.0.2.
When I have a list object (pop up list) I can define some values in the attribute palette of the object.
So you can set a shown name and a value behind. In this little window to set the items of the popup list you get automatically a white empty item at the end of the list. When I click now on this empty item (you do so, when you want to add an item) Forms Builder automatically adds an new empty item at the end.
When I click this new empty item, Forms Builder adss another empty one ... and so on.
It´s very suspicious because, when I end this dialog with "OK", it will be saved and when I open the form (over web) I have at the end of the list one, two (or more) empty elements in list.
But I can´t delete this empty ones from the list in Forms Builder.
So my question:
how can I delete empty items in a popup list??
I try it with hit "del" button at keyboard or delete the set value for the item (I hope Forms Builder delete items without value). But all does not help.

Thanks jwh for this great solution! :)
On my german keyboard it is:
ctrl+< for deleting a line
ctrl+> (= ctrl+shift+<) for adding a new line
Thanks! :)
I have another question (you can maybe help me, too?).
On this popup lists you can have several items. When you open a form (via web) and the list has more than x items (maybe 5 or 6) the form shows a scroll bar on the right side.
Is there any poosibility to set how much items has to show and only show a scroll bar when there are more items in the list?
Or other way: set the maximum of shown items so big, that there will be no scroll bar.
