How to represent an average column of mean scores (concern is making an average of an average)

One number is needed to represent this group; what fomula is best??
4.26
4.42
4.29
4.46
4.51
4.29
4.40
4.49
4.46
4.51
Cautious about making an average of an average, but Need to create one number representing these mean scores.
What fomula is ideal??
the Median formula = 4.42
AverageA formula = 4.08
Thanks

Thank you Badunit and Barry: Yes, the average (mean) should be 4.409.
when I use the formula: =MEDIAN(B2:B11) is 4.4200. How can I arrive at a 4.44 Median please?
Thanks, surveyguy
My process:
=MEDIAN((num-date-dur,))(num-date-dur,)
Clicking (num-date-dur,) and selecting the column then deleted the second (num-date-dur,) from the inserted Median formula.
More background ... these data are from questionnaires with a five-point rating scale where 1 is lowest and a five is highest. The goal is to represent all valuations as one number for comparison with other like individuals. Barry: Yes, I do appreciate the need to defend computations.

"Ellie,
The first thing you need to do is to read your file in as a spreadsheet file. Then, you display it in a chart.
That sounds simple, but looking at your dataset, there's a few things you should know. First, the "read from spreadsheet VI" is looking for data in columns, like your data set, but columns separated by tabs. Therefore, your data must be saved that way; currently, it doesn't seem that it is. Another thing; you must skip the header portion (labels) of your file when reading.
Next, it would be easier if your time was first, and your data was second in your columns, but that can be overcome. In the VI I am including, I have copied your data set into a file called data.txt, and I've removed the header and separated the columns with a tab. Then, I read in the data, and I break out each column so I can put the time first, and then I combine them again into a cluster so it can be displayed on an XY chart.
Take a look!
Mark"

"Ellie,
Here is one way of doing it. Take a look at this example (compatible with LabVIEW 4.1 and up) and post comments if you need further help. Basically, I read your file as text; split it; and make use of the Spread sheet string to Array function before I plot your data. Hope this helps./ Mikael"

I intend to read from a .txt file that contains a column of numbers. After reading I want to display it as a waveform. In fact the numbers represent points along a waveform/graph of Flow vs. time. Thus I want to have this info in the chart or graph with flow in the y0axis and time in the x-axis. Can someone give me some detailed help please? Thank you in advance.

All you have to do is use Read From Spreadsheet File.vi that's on the File I/O palette. For your example .txt, set the Transpose input to true and wire the First Row output to a waveform graph. The only problem I see is that since your file doesn't contain any sampling info, the time axis will be relative. If have that information elsewhere, then you can put a build waveform function between the read and the graph. Wire the First Row output to the Y input Build Waveform and add t0 and dt values. I've attached an example.

How can I add multi columns to a JCombo Box ?

Dear experts,
How can I add multi columns to a JCombo Box ?
Thankx in advance
Unique

What do you mean by adding Multiple columns? JCombobox is a component in which you can choose a value from a list(rows) of values. Could you please explain why do you want multiple columns in the JComboBox. I suppose JComboBox is not meant for that.
Thanks,

How does OBI decide what column to display when drilling down on hierarchy

Hi All,
Lets say I have a logical table called Custom_Account which has Level 1 through 10, where 1 being the total level and 10 being the detail level. I have created a level based hierarchy.
On the total level, lets say I have 2 columns called Hier1_code and Hier1_name, and in the next level, I actually have four columns, Hier2_code, hier2_name, hier2_desc, hier2_details.
Now what configuration settings do I need to make in order for OBIEE to display all the fouce columns from level 2 when a user clicks on a column from level1?
Meaning, how do I define the columns that would be displayed upon drilling down from a parent level to child level.
Can someone please give some clear explanation, as I am confused here.
Thank you,
Peter.

Hi Peter,
After you have defined a hierarchy, you could open the properties of any level in the hierarchy and set the 'Use for Display checkbox' in the "Keys" tab for all the columns you would like to be displayed at this level.
Hope this helps.
Thank you,
Dhar

How can i select other column values('-' separated) in group by function

INSERT INTO EMP(EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, SAL) VALUES (7369, 'SMITH', 'CLERK', 800);
INSERT INTO EMP(EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, SAL) VALUES (7499, 'SMITH', 'SALESMAN', 1600);
INSERT INTO EMP(EMPNO, ENAME, JOB, SAL) VALUES (7521, 'ALLEN', 'SALESMAN', 2400);
In Output I want 3 columns : EMP,SUM(SAL),JOB(hyphenSeparated)
Means i want my output like
First row : SMITH,2400,CLERK-SALESMAN
Second row : ALLEN,2400,SALESMAN
I tried to write following sql : select ename,sum(sal) from emp group by ename
But i want other colummn value in '-' separated. but group by is only allowing agreegated function.
How can i select other column value using group by function.

SQL> select ename,sum(sal), listagg(job, '-') within group (order by job) as job from emp group by ename;
ENAME        SUM(SAL) JOB
ALLEN            2400 SALESMAN

How to edit the JTable columns

Hi all,
please help me on this..
I created one Jtable with 0-9 columns(10 columns)and
I put only the 9th(last column) column is editable.
the problem is if I enter any text message in 9th column
and press another column then immediatly dissapears the
9th column text...
please tell me how to solve this problem .. because I want to take the
9th column text to another Object....
please send the solution anyone knows..
public boolean isCellEditable(int row, int col){
if(col == 9){
return true;
}else{
return false;
}

If things go wrong while trying to edit table cells there is a good chance that you hit one of the many well known or even a new bug. These bugs are highly version dependent. So in any question please include the jdk version you are using and a very exact description of what you are seeing.
Here I assume that by "press another column" you mean "click the mouse in the header region"?
If so that's one of the well known, long-standing and not yet solved problems: jTable does cancel any edit on any notification from the columnModel - and due to suboptimal implementation of the tableHeaderUI even a single click does fire such a notification.
There is some debate about how to handle the situation but no easy or totally satisfying approach - your best bet is to search the bug parade (and google) for partial solutions and their pros and cons.

How to find the average of table row values it should display in next row in libwindow/CVI

Hi,
How to find the average of table row values it should display in next row in libwindow/CVI
Please let me know the solution.

There isn't a built-in function to perform calculations on thable cells. What you can do is to retrieve thable cells values and calculate the average by yourself.
To retrieve a bunch of cells in a single instruction you can use GetTableCellRangeVals: prerequisite for this function to work correctly is that cells are all included in a Rect structure (shortly, a rectangle) and are all of the same data type. See the help for the function for some explanations and the link to an example of its usage. In Cell range parameter you can pass VAL_TABLE_ROW_RANGE (row) macro to retrieve an entire row. See here for details.
Once you have retrieved cell values in an array, you can pass it to Mean function to calculate the average.
Proud to use LW/CVI from 3.1 on.

How long does the average iPod touch last?

Not the battery, I mean the actuall iPod. How long does the average one last before it dies? How many hours?

Judging from this support site, the average iPod lasts until it falls into a toilet.
Each of my first, second, and third generation iPod Touch models are still working flawlessly. That's thousands of hours. Like Macs, they typically become functionally obsolete before any particular hardware failure ends their life.

How to perform calculations using column data in BI Publisher

Hello guys
I am very new to BIP, and recently I am learning to create new templates using XML files..
I am trying to create a report that has Account Amount, Amount Net Amount, PM_Amount and a New field say "X"
For Account Amount it is what it is, but for Net Amount it is "Account Amount/40%", for PM_Amount it is "Net Amount x (Account Amount/30)" and for field X it is "(Net Amount + PM_Amount)/column A" where column A is another data field in the XML file but it should not be included in the template report..
Could anyone help me with how to perform such kind of calculations in BIP Template builder? In OBIEE, it is very easy that I can just use column formula, but in BIP I still haven't figure out the way yet..
PLease advice
Thanks

Thanks for the reply..
I looked at the link you provided already, what I wanna know is how to exactly apply the expression in my calculation. In other words, I know that Column C = "Column A div Column B", but in BIP form property, how do I actually substitue "column A" with the actual column..
I wish I could post the XML, but it is huge, it contains 6 data sets and more than 100 columns. I only need 15 columns on my template.
On the form property of each measures, in the "advance tab", I see codes like <?accountamount?>. Now I wanna have a new column said "PM_Amt" which should be "(accountamount div %40) x column B". So I just randomly select another column said "payment". I rename it to "PM_AMT" and on its "advanced tab" it is still <?payment?>. So right there, if I wanna replace that code with a new one that does "(accountamount div %40) x column B" calculation, how would I do it? What would be the syntax including how to propertly refer to the right column field as part of the expression?
And do I have to always use xdofx between <>? how would I know?
Please advice if you understood what I am trying to say
Much thanks

How to wrap text for column level field

Hi,
In iSourcing module. I have requirement for RFQ response page. I have to wrapt text of table level column.
Screen have total 6 columns. First column heading is Line. This column displays item description. Length of Item description in VO is 240 characters.
Presently entire 240 characters are displayed in one line only. Because of this user has to scroll towards the right to see remaining columns.
Requirement is to wrap this first column contents so that all columns will get visible without scrolling.
How do I set this wrap functionality on this column through Controller?
I tried by following ways, but no luck,
1. In processRequest method
OAFlowLayoutBean ls_line = (OAFlowLayoutBean)oatablebean.findChildRecursive("Line");
if(ls_line != null)
ls_line.setWrapEnabled(true);
In personalize options of “Line” field there is no option for “No Wrap” property.
How can I achieve this column wrap functionality?
Kindly help,
Thanks in advance.

How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?

Hi Gurus;
I'm using dynamic search help in my program.
I want to get multi column values from search help. But I dont know solution for this issue.
I'm using F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST FM.
How Can I get multi column values from dynamic search help?
Thanks.

Believe it or not, the same FM worked for me in a dynpro. I will try to explain here how it works in custom screen and then you can do your work for other screens or program types. I am not going to write my actual work but will explain in general.
I have 4 fields (FLD1, FLD2, FLD3, FLD4) and i made the search based on FLD2 and when user click on a line (could be any field), then this would bring the line on to the screens.
There are like 3 steps.
You have your value_tab for my fields FLD1, FLD2, FLD3 and FLD4. This is just the data that we pass into the FM. (data: IT_VALTAB type table of ZVAL_TABLE)
Next map the screen fields into an internal table (data: It_dynpfld type table of dselc ). I also have other internal tables defined (just to keep it straight, i will be putting here) data: It_return type standard table of ddshretval.
Next step is to call the function module. Make sure you have values in IT_VALTAB.
call function 'F4IF_INT_TABLE_VALUE_REQUEST'
exporting
        retfield        = 'FLD2'
        value_org       = 'S'
      tables
        value_tab       = It_VALTAB
        return_tab      = It_return
        dynpfld_mapping = It_dynpfld
      exceptions
        parameter_error = 1
        no_values_found = 2
        others          = 3.
    if sy-subrc <> 0.
      message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
      with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
    else.
      perform get_selected_fields tables It_return.
    endif.
The code within the perform GET_SELECTED_FIELDS - We need to map the result fields after user selects it. The code goes like this. This is step is to update the dynpro fields.
I need a internal table as well as a work area here. like,
data: lt_fields type table of dynpread,
        la_fields type dynpread.
field-symbols: <fs_return> type ddshretval.
so fill out LT_FIELDS from the IT_RETURN table
loop at lt_return assigning <fs_return>.
    la_fields-fieldname = <fs_return>-retfield.
    la_fields-fieldvalue = <fs_return>-fieldval.
    append la_fields to lt_fields.
    clear: la_fields.
endloop.
Call the FM to update the dynpro
call function 'DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE'
    exporting
      dyname               = sy-repid
      dynumb               = '1002' "This is my screen number. You could use 1000 for selection screen (hope so)
    tables
      dynpfields           = lt_fields
    exceptions
      invalid_abapworkarea = 1
      invalid_dynprofield = 2
      invalid_dynproname   = 3
      invalid_dynpronummer = 4
      invalid_request      = 5
      no_fielddescription = 6
      undefind_error       = 7
      others               = 8.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    message id sy-msgid type sy-msgty number sy-msgno
            with sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
endif.
good luck
