How to have excelsius ignore a 0 value in excel IF formula

I have some line graphs that run off of a combination of SQL data retrieved by an excel xml query and formulas in excel based on that sql data. The SQL data is basically totals for each month. I have a combo box set up to filter the data for a particular year, typically this year and I have my graphs reading the 12 rows where the combo box is dropping my sql data. The problem is I only want the graph to show data for the rows retrieved in my xml query and the formulas I have set up for all 12 rows are causing the graphs to come back with all 12 rows, showing 0 for the rows that do not have data. I set up an IF formula, with the formula returning "" for the true part and the formula result for the false part. However, excel does not put in a blank. It puts in a 0. Note that I have the ignore blank cells turned on on my line graphs.
I did some web searching and found out that excel is incapable of returning nothing in a formula result. The site recommended using NA(), which returns #N/A which excel ignores in graphs. I tried it and got an error saying Xcelsius does not support this command.
How would I set up xcelsius/excel to handle what I am trying to do?

If I'm reading this right, your graphs are bound to 12 data points.
You don't want data points to show up, if they're ""/0/Null/False.
Well, if you return text data, the chart will not render it. Xcelsius charts only read numbers. So, instead of a 0, you'll get a blank point.
That is instead of...
1-2-0-5-7 (the dashes represent the lines that usually connect points on a line chart)
You'll have...
1-2_____5-7 (the underline represents blank space)
<br>So for your formulas, have it return some text instead of ""/false, such as "novalue".

How to have a tree view for value node..

Hi all,
I need to display a tree view for a value node in web ui just like a model node, for a custom view in a pop up. Please guide me how to do this or let me know the process steps.
Thanks in advance.

Hi All,
while debugging I found that in class CL_BSP_WD_CONTEXT_NODE_TREE , the method GET_T_TABLE the below code is not triigerring for the child node attributes ( to trigger the get method of attribute for value node).
this call method is not triggering at all only for first coulmn its triggering ..
LV_TN ?= ME->NODE_MAPPER->GET_NODE_OBJECT( <LINE>-NODE_KEY ).
    CONCATENATE 'GET_' COMPONENT INTO LV_METHOD.
    TRY.
        CALL METHOD LV_TN->(LV_METHOD)
          EXPORTING
            ATTRIBUTE_PATH = ''
          RECEIVING
            VALUE          = VALUE.
      CATCH CX_ROOT INTO LV_ERROR.
I created the GETTER method inthe class CN01 and CN02. But those methods are not triggered in CALL METHOD LV_TN->(LV_METHOD). Even that class CN02 is having the same methods. Those methods are already Implemented. May I know what was the reason Why those methods are not triggered ( getter method ). With out that Method data will not display in the Tree view. Can anybody tell me the reason why it is not happenning?
.Please find the below .HTM code as well.
<chtmlb:configTree
                      actionsMaxInRow       = "5"
                   id             = "Table1"
                   nodeTable      = "<%= ZTREEVIEW->node_tab %>"
                   table          = "//ZTREEVIEW/Table"
                   noFrame        = "FALSE"
                   personalizable = "TRUE"
                   onCollapseNode = "NODECOLLAPSE"
                   selectionMode = "MULTILINEEDIT"
                   onExpandNode   = "NODEEXPAND"
                   onRowSelection = "select" />
Only one column was triggered another column did not get any value becasue of the above method call fail.. We are not restricted anywhere to display one column value in the output.   Even in Debugging I checked that LV_METHOD is having the method name. CN02 class is also having the same method, But it is not going into the method. It is coming out side. What could be the reason I could not able to understnad.
Please provide me some pointers on the issue....
Thanks in advance..

How do you use AVERAGE based on values from an IF formula?

This is probably a very simple thing to do, but I haven't managed to find a solution yet. Someone please help!
I have a spreadsheet to calculate grades for my students.
I enter their raw scores, which is then calculated into a percentage (which I then adjust, depending on the raw average).
I then use an IF formula to award a grade between 1 and 10 based on that adjusted percentage.

I have simplified the sheet so it contains no split or merged cells, yet still I get the exclamation mark where I want the average. (The exclamation mark says 'Numbers can't be divided by zero'.)

How do i have subsequent fields label and values move down the page dynamic

how do i have subsequent fields label and values move down the page dynamicly...
the field in question "can grow" and can become quite big...overlaping the content of the fileds below...how can i make the fields below this large field move dyanmically so there is no overlap?

if it is the same field and it is set to can grow you just need to make sure you put space between by inserting a section below

How to have a vertical grid lineon the waveform graph indicator for every 10% percent of the maximum X axis value?

Hi,
how to have a vertical grid line on the waveform graph indicator for every 10% percent of the maximum X axis value, so the x axis will split into 10, the vertical grids line in total will be 11 (including first and last)
Example if the maximum X axis value is 11.56, first vertical grid is at the origin(0), second vertical grid is at 1.156 and continue to last one 11.56

Thanks JohnM and Evan,
the increment work great and i modify it to pass the 10% into "start" too, so it will start at the point of 10% of maximum range

How to make OWB ignore a field that is not mapped.

Hi,
We're using OWB 10.1.
I'm just doing a simple load from a flat file to a regular table.
I discovered that the data file is missing an entire field or column of data.
The field is not necessary so I'm continuing the load.
I just remapped the OWB map so it doesn't not pull data from the last field in the data file.
When it created the control file to do the load, the last field that was unmapped in the OWB map was re-designated as 'DECIMAL EXTERNAL'.
Then when the map runs to load the data, I get an error message of
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "STAGING"."TCMBBX", column "PAID_AMOUNT".
Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)So it looks like OWB is still trying to include the last field in the load for some reason when I had unmapped the field in OWB.
My question is how can one un-map a field or not map a field in OWB and then have OWB ignore the field when running the load?
This is regarding removing the map line drawn from a field in the data file to a field in the staging table.
Thanks!

How to summarize Open sales order credit value

Hi, friends.
I am designing Add-on report about credit exposure.
I found the relevant tables of Credit Limit in FD32
KNKK
S066
S067
Then, I would like to show the document details of open sales order credit value in the report.
I tried to summarize the open sales order amount from VBAK, VAUK, VBAP, VBUP.
However, it doest match to the amount in S066 table.
Can anyone tell us how to summarize Open sales order credit value from SD documents?
Regards,
Yu

Sudheer,
You need to check the update rule given in the definition of the Credit control Area which you are using for credit management. If you want only the open deliveries then you need to have update rule 15 in the credit control area.
In the credit controal settings, you need to have settings for the credit check at the delivery level.
Hope this will solve your issue.
Regards,
Chetan

OAF matester detail page : How to have a "Show All" feature on screen, so that all the master and details records are expanded .

Hi ,
I was trying to have a "SHOW ALL" feature on the master - detail page,
the detail table is an advancec table.
Please help me with inputs on how to have "SHOW ALL" feature,
Currently, we have to click on ":Show" for each record at master level to view the child data.
Trying to achive "Show All" Feature so that on click of this the master records on the page 'Expands" showiing all master records with respective detail records.
Regards
bhuvanm

Hi,
You should not set DetailFlag = "Y" in whereclause because there is no such record.
Also detail flag is transient attribute and not the query column, hence the error "Invalid indentifier".
I asked you to use DetailFlag as query column with static value "Y".
for example:
SELECT "Y" detail_flag
FROM <table_name>
This will display all the table records in expanded format. if you want it conditionally then use decode on some bind parameters.
For example:
SELECT DECODE(:1, "SHOWALL", "Y", "N") detail_flag
FROM <table_name>
This bind parameter should be passed whenever you want to execute query for the table.

How can I display more than one value in Calendar ?

Hi,
the standard (example) script allows for the display of one value only (as I understood). How can I display two or three values, from the very same table ? Students of mine during an HTMLDB workshop in Leipzig did ask that question.
Do we have a more detailed docum. on the use of the calendar ?
pls kindly advise. TIA.
Bernhard

my solution:
Source fo the calendar starts:
snip>
declare
q varchar(32767) := null;
begin
q := 'select "ETA", <--- Date Field and concatination of fields as follows:
"SCHIFFSNAME"|| "ETA_TIME"|| "TERMINAL"||''(br*)'',
null,
null,
null,
null
from "#OWNER#"."SCHEDULE"'; . . . . . . .
snip>
comment on (br*) - you have to use "<" and ">" instead of "( " and ")" to have the "break/new line effect"

How to have three prompts with one object?

Dear collegues,
I am creating a report where I want to see an employees salary in three different periods, f.ex 11.2006, 08.2007 and 09.2007. This is no problem when I set these spesific periods as filters in the query. But how can these three periods be prompted values? So that the user can choose for which three periods he wants to see the salary?
I have used an object Month Year to try. I drag it into the filter area of the query three times, and gives it prompt-functionality and call them Date 1, Date 2, Date 3. When I try to run the query it just tells me "No data".. (BO 6.0)
Is this possible?
Will sign points if you can help!
regards Silje

Hi Jaques,
Thank you!
I want to distribute the three dates on three different columns, date 1, date 2, date 3. Is that possible with inList?
If I use OR, do I get all the dates and can distribute them in different columns?
(In this report we follow salary development of employees. The report shows the given salary at three different points of time for an employee).

How do I create a series of text frames using values from Excel list?

First of all, this is the very first script I'm attempting to write from scratch. I'm completely green at scripting, and I've picked up a few snippets from Adobe's ID scripting guide, but nothing has really stuck yet relating to this particular objective.
My supervisor keeps a master list of ad spaces, with the name of the account, how wide the space is, and how tall the space is, all in an Excel sheet. These spaces can number in the hundreds, and I am stuck manually drawing one rectangle for every space, which takes a very long time.
I'd like to create/have help creating a script that will take these values and "automagically" draw these spaces in the form of text frames, with the width (in columns) and the height (in inches) defined by the values in the master list, as well as the name of each account appearing in the subsequent text frames.
The script doesn't necessarily need to be able to pull the values straight from the Excel sheet; I can transfer the values to a support text file if needed, or directly into the script, changing it as I need it. A big thing (if it is not able to pull right from an Excel sheet) is that the number of spaces changes weekly, and so do the accounts, and the width and the height. Accordingly, it would be ideal if the values from the sheet could be changed easily, so as to create a new set of spaces as needed.
Positioning for each space is not crucial, only height and width. If they all appear on top of each other on the same page, that will be a result for me. The main idea is to not have to draw them all manually, one by one.
To me, this sounds like a tall order, but hopefully some experienced scripters out there can assist me, as I wish to become experienced as well.
So, the TL;DR version:
- Script needs to draw a series of text frames.
- Text frames dimensions need to be defined by width and height values from Excel sheet.
- Text frames must have account name as contents (from account names in Excel sheet).
- Accounts, width and height change every week in the Excel sheet, so must be relatively easy to exchange all of the values.
- The width values are on the Excel sheet as columns. It would be ideal if the script could convert those numbers into multiples of columns as needed.
- (Optional) Script can pull values directly from Excel sheet.
- (Optional) Script can define text frame fill color as gray. (If it works as I think it will, I could just select all the resulting text frames myself and set them all to gray at once... I'm not that lazy )
Thanks in advance to whomever can assist in any possible way, even if it is just a push in the right direction. This script will save 1-2 hours of tedium every week.

Sound like the perfect thing for InDesign Scripting.
I would copy the Excel contents into a text file, to get a format that is easily read from InDesign, and there will automatically be a TAB for each "cell" just using copy/paste.
Here is a piece of code, that you perhaps could go on with (adding variable to change pages and location on page, and other stuff).
The readFileLineByLine function, can be easily re-used with any function using "callback". You simply supply the function to it, that you want to be executed for every line of text that is read:
const COLUMN_WIDTH = 2; // Define the column width in inch
var pageIndex;
var textFramesExported; // not implemented.
// Add a new dokument. Set myDoc to app.activeDocument to use
// the current document instead of creating a new one.
var myDoc = app.documents.add();
// The doSomethingWithTextRow function is called upon for every line of text read.
readFileLineByLine('c:\\test.txt', doSomethingWithTextRow);
function doSomethingWithTextRow(row){
    // We expect the text line to be TAB separated (\t = TAB). We get that from just copying the contents of an
    // excel file into a text document.
    var cells = row.split('\t');
    var companyName = cells[0]; // The Company name in the first slot of the array
    var width = COLUMN_WIDTH * cells[1];
    var height = cells[2];
    // Create a new text frame for every row handled
    if (pageIndex==undefined) pageIndex = 0; // Count up when you have exported a number of texts, I leave this for you to do.
    var newTextFrame = myDoc.pages[pageIndex].textFrames.add();
    newTextFrame.contents = companyName;
    // The text frame is created in the top left corner.
    newTextFrame.geometricBounds = [0, 0, height + ' in', width + ' in']; // Top, Left, Bottom, Right
    // You might want to move the textframes to other positions, keeping track of how many you put out per page.
    newTextFrame.move( [10, 10] );
function readFileLineByLine(path, callbackFn){
    var myFileIn = new File(path);
    if (File.fs == 'Windows'){
        // This was probably added to recognize UTF-8 (even without its start marker?)
        myFileIn.encoding = 'UTF-8';
    myFileIn.open('r');
    var myEncoding = myFileIn.encoding;
    try{
        if (!myFileIn.exists){
            throw('Missing file: ' + myFileIn.fsName)
        var ln = '';
        while(!myFileIn.eof){
            // Read the lines from the file, until an empty line is found [now as a remark].
            ln = myFileIn.readln()
            // if(ln !='' && ln!='\n'){
               // Call the function supplied as argument
               callbackFn(ln);
    }catch(e){
        alert(e);
        gCancel = true;
    finally{
        myFileIn.close();
The file in C:\ in my example was saved as UTF-8 and looks like this (showing hidden characters):

How can we pass the select-option value to modulepool program?

hi,
how can we pass the select-option value to modulepool program ?
Because if i declared select-options in executable program and i used SSCRFIELDS to define push buttons in selection screen.
           My requirement if enter the values to select-options and press UPDATE pussbotton then i want call screen which contains tablecontrol.
           How i get select-option values to PAI of call screen for getting the data from database table to my internal table?

Oh I thought that you have selection-screen and again you are working on dialog programming.
if you want to use select-option directly in module pool then it is not possible.
but you can do other way.
create two varaiables
data : v_kun_low like kna1-kunnr,
         v_kun_high like kna1-kunnr.
use these two variables in layout ,let user knows that he can not give options like gt,lt,eq ,it will be always BT.
and also when you see normal report program,you can use multiple values in either low or high,but here it is not possibel.
use can enter only low value and high value.
when you come to program point of view
declare one range
ranges r_kunnr for kna1-kunnr.
do the coding like
r_kunnr-low = v_kun_low.
r_kunnr-high = v_kun_high.
r_kunnr-options = 'BT'.
r_kunnr-sign = 'I'.
append r_kunnr.
now you can use r_kunnr in select query ,it will work like select-option.
other than this there is no option.
Thanks

How can i restrict the Expenditure Type values at a specific OU ?

Dear Guys,
I would like to ask about the Expenditure Types,
I have implemented two projects for different Operating Units ,
when navigating to any Projects responsibilty,and navigating the Expenditure Type field
the values exist are all the values implemented across the OU not the values entered at this OU
How can i restrict the Expenditure Type values at a specific OU
Regards
Amr Hussien

Hello
When you set up a project there is an option called Transaction Control.
This option allow you to list the allowed or restricted elements of costs for the project.
You may enter the transaction control on a project template and that will be copied to any new project.
The cost elements may be expenditure types, expenditures categories, suppliers, employees, etc.
In your case, I suggest to set up specific project templates for each operating units. On each template enter the list of allowed expenditures types for that OU.
Doing so, the system restricts users from entering any expenditure item, supplier invoice, purchase cost etc, against an expenditure type, which is not allowed.
