How to enter Text or Date Value?

Hi, I am using Planning 9.3.1 and tried to enter text or date value into account
which is defined as text or date, but I can only type numeric value into the cell.
Is there anyone who knows the reason why I can't type in text or date?
Thanks.
Regards,
Jerry

You need to set the Evaluation Order to make this work. Once you tell Planning which dimension has priority (Account) the date format should work in a form. This is accessible through the Administration->Dimensions menu pick in the rightmost tab.
Without that evaluation priority, the data just displays as a number.
Once set, you must enter data in a format that mirrors your system locale or Planning application default/user preference. You will not be able to enter a whole number.

You can use read_text function module for readind text of material and store this value in internal table later pass this internal table to smartform will solve your problem.

How to load text file data to Oracle Database table?

By using Oracle Forms, how to load text file data to Oracle Database table?

Metalink note 33247.1 explains how to use text_io as suggested by Robin to read the file into a Multi-Row block. However, that article was written for forms 4.5 and uses CREATE_RECORD in a loop. There was another article, 91513.1 describing the more elegant method of 'querying' the file into the block by transactional triggers. Unfortunately this more recent article has disappeared without trace and Oracle deny its existence. I know it existed as I have a printed copy in front of me, and very useful it is too.

How to enter TEXT data using rules files

Hi,
How can i enter text data using rules files?
Thanks,
A

If you are talking about planning members with a text data type then it is not possible to load the actual text string using a load rule,essbase just stores a numeric value and the text string relating to that numeric value is stored in the planning applications relational tables.
If you want to load text directly then you can load data through the planning layer, more information available at - http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E17236_01/epm.1112/hp_admin/ch05s02s01.html

How to enter a new Date and Time each day in a Numbers Spreadsheet...

Hi... I have finally decided to move away from Excel and really give Numbers a shot... I have an application where each day I first enter the current date and time into a particular cell of a new row and then I enter some data in cells adjacent (in the same row) as that entered date-time. Then the next day I want to again enter the (new) current date and time and add more data next to that new date-time and so forth day after day... You can't use something as simple as =NOW() because then everyday, ALL of the date-times would change to the current time... Nope, now what I want... I just want to be able to EASILY and QUICKLY enter the current date-time value in one call and then have that specific value stay there forever... In Excel, this is accomplished with the keyboard shortcuts of
<cntl> followed by a semicolon (;) for the date
then enter a single space (for separation of date versus time) followed last by
<command> followed again by a semicolon...
So all together that is,
<cntl><;><sp><command><;>
and that puts something like
4/10/2010 9:49:00 AM
in a single cell...
That's what I now want to be able to do in Numbers...
How do I do that??? Do I use the menubar item "Insert Date and Time" and if so, how exactly do I get the current time to show up in the chosen cell??? With formatting??? Is there a keyboard shortcut method like the one I mentioned that works for Excel?? I've perused the manual and though I found lots on date-time, I didn't see how to do specifically what I want to do... I likely just missed it as surely it must be easy to do...
Any feedback would be much appreciated... thanks... bob...

This may be the problem.
The script is an old one which deciphered only the letter+digit cell references.
Here is a new version which works with every kind of cell reference.
--[SCRIPT insertDateTime]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : insertDateTime.scpt
déplacer l'application créée dans le dossier

Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Placez le curseur dans la cellule qui doit recevoir la date_heure
menu Scripts > Numbers > insertDateTime
La cellule pointée reçoit la date_heure.
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script as a Script : insertDateTime.scpt
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Put the cursor in the cell which must receive the date_time.
menu Scripts > Numbers > insertDateTime
The pointed cell receives the current date_time.
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

HTML Dataset - how to filter based on data values within columns

I have had success with using the XML dataset and filtering based on user input (see javascript example below)
<script type="text/javascript">
var ds2 = new Spry.Data.XMLDataSet("disciplinary_actions3.xml", "doh/disciplinary_actions2[type='<? echo($type) ?>'][name>='<? echo($name) ?>']");
ds2.setColumnType("date-of-sanction", "date");
</script>
The XML dataset filters the results based on the type and name values within the XML dataset columns.
I need to accomplish this type of filtering with an HTML table. All that I have been able to accomplish with the use of the in the rowselector (see example below)
<script type="text/javascript">

</script>
How can I filter the HTML dataset based on the data VALUES within the table columns and NOT the class or id or span or div,,,etc?
Although my advanced dataselector within Dreamweaver CS4 has a column selector... I can't under or get it to work.
Any assistance or direction is greatly appreciated.

Hi Ron,
According to your description, you want to pass the Terminal number that user logon to where clause without needing to create a userid table, right?
As per my understanding, you need to add an additional table to store the user and corresponding terminal, so that you can filter the data to show the rows based on the user and corresponding terminal. Here are some blogs which describe dynamic security
on tabular model, please see:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/himanshu1/archive/2013/03/02/implementing-dynamic-security-in-tabular-models.aspx
http://www.bidn.com/blogs/ChrisSchmidt/ssas/4332/dynamic-security-in-tabular
If this is not what you want, there is no other approach to pass the Terminal number that user logon to where clause without needing to create a userid table. Thank you for your understanding.

How to create Text Tables and Value Tables ?

Hi all,
How we can create the Text Table ? Step by Step
How we can create the Value Table ? Step by Step
Note : I am not asking about the creation of simple transparant table ...
Thanks In advance.
How to use Text tables ?
With Example Please..
Thanks in advance.
Regards.
Raj

Hi Raj,
Table A is a text table of table B if the key of A comprises the key of B and an additional language key field (field of data type LANG). Table A may therefore contain explanatory text in several languages for each key entry of B.
To link the key entries with the text, text table A must be linked with table B using a foreign key. Key fields of a text table must be selected here for the type of foreign key fields
If table B is the check table of a field, the existing key entries of table B are displayed as possible input values when the input help (F4) is pressed. The explanatory text (contents of the first character-like non-key-field of text table A) is also displayed in the user's logon language for each key value in table B.
Only one text table can be created for table B! The system checks this when you attempt to activate a table with text foreign keys for B.

How to insert the Formatted date value and insert into the database

Hi All,
I am having requirement of inserting the date value in to the datbase. I'm already getting the value from file as MM-DD-YYYY. Getting exception while transforming the values through the transform activity. I'm using format fate function but it is inserting null value in to the database.
Any help from anyone would bve appreciated.
Thanks,
CH

Hi,
your input date format is fixed right? So, in the transform you can split each your date, which is in 'MM-DD-YYYY' format ... extract day, month, year.
After that ... just put these values in order acording to the format of 'xsd:date' data type which is '[-]CCYY-MM-DDZ'.
XPath function 'xp20:format-dateTime()' works only with 'xsd:dateTime' data type, which has format '[-]CCYY-MM-DDThh:mm:ssZ'.
So, in your case it could be:
<xsl:variable name="day" select="substring($inputDate,4,2)"/>
<xsl:variable name="month" select="substring($inputDate,1,2)"/>
<xsl:variable name="day" select="substring($inputDate,7,4)"/>
<xsl:variable name="outputDate">
<xsl:value-of select="$year"/>
<xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$month"/>
<xsl:text>-</xsl:text>
<xsl:value-of select="$day"/>
</xsl:variable>

Martin.

Simple Question: How to search for a date value in SELECT

Probabily a simple question, but in a SELECT statement, how do you do a search for a date value in the WHERE clause?
example:
Select * From Example
Where date = 01/01/2001
I know its not as simple as that, but what change has to occur to make it do what that example implies?
Thanks In Advance.

If you want to avoid the conversion part(to_date) you will need to specify the date in the format as ur nls date format.so the same query might not work if you change ur nls date format.
so it is advisable to give it in general format.
ie where date_col=to_date(01-01-2000,'dd-mm-yyyy')
