Ignore blank rows inbetween in Xcelsius

Hi,
We are using Xcelsius 2008, we need to ignore blank rows which are there inbetween few rows.
so we have few rows data and few blank rows rhen data and blank rows.
Ignore blank rows will only ignore the rows if its in end but it doesn't if we have inbetween.
So is there any workaround for that or any alternate component i can use. I am sing list view in current design.
Thanks,
Nimesh.

Hi Daniel,
Thanks for your solution.
I was facing the same issue and was able to solve it using that Flag concept.

Xcelsius 2008 SP1 - Ignore Blank cells not working

I have a ticker object that is showing the values from a QaaWs query just fine, but at the end of the list I keep getting the words NULL - NULL - NULL - .... This solution is working in the OEM release of Xcelsius 2008.
The range is set longer than the expected number of rows returned to handle changes in the table its querying.
I have Values selected and the Ignore Blank Cells In Values box is checked, so what am I missing?
Is it time to log an issue within support?
Tom Nather

Hello Tom,
This problem is known and documented. It will be addressed in the next FixPack for Xcelsius 2008.
The problem is caused by binding the QaaWS/WS Output Values field to more rows than are actually returned. The cells that are not filled with actual data are formatted with an "undefined" value, thus they are not ignored by "Ignore End Blanks". This is expressed differently depending on the component.
For now, one workaround is to output the QaaWS/WS values to a range (A1:A10, for instance), then reference the range (=A1) in another (B1:B10, for example). If the selector labels are bound to this 2nd range, they will Ignore End Blanks correctly.

Xcelsius - Blank Rows

Hello,
My excel sheet in Xcelsius is populated via XML on daily basis.
Example:
Coulmn A1 through F22 gets populated
Grid in dashboard displays the data in above range.
Problem:
I also get some blank rows from the source, which I would not like to be displyed in the dashboard.
Example:
John
Henry
Kate
Perry
Ray
Tom
Thanks in Advance.

Thank you for all of your suggestions.
This problem was actually able to be fixed by scaling the Excel formulas WAY back and relying on Xcelsius' filter rows function to do essentially the same thing - except its quicker, easier, and more efficent.
So Net Net - if anyone else is having a similar problem, take a look at seeing if there is any way to cut out the complexity of the formulas and rely more heavily on processes within Xcelsius, not just Excel.

Pie chart legend showing digit "1" when we set "ignore blank cells"property

All,
We have pie chart in Xcelsius 2008 that shows the data with legend value and we have also set the ignore blank cells property to ignore the blank value from column. but once we set this property, it displays the digit "1" in the legend when there is no data.
we are expecting that nothing should be displayed in pie chart legend when there is no data for the pie chart.
Thanks,
Sourabh

hi Sourabh,
I could replicate your scenario.
Workaround is to create a duplicate of this chart. Go to properties of this new chart.
Go to Appearance ->
Uncheck
- Legend
- Mouse-over values
- Data Labels
for this chart.
Write a logic in excel using 'IF' to verify if your data is empty.
Use 'Dynamic Visibility' feature to display this chart only when your data is empty.
Display your original chart if your data is not empty.

Ignore blank cells and truly blank cells in named range?

Ok so my named range looks like this:
='Product Group Attributes'!$F$2:$F$1048576
However, I want to ignore the "" cells and the truly blank cells... However, I think all of them will have "" since I have this formula in all of the ones I'm putting in the range:
=IF(ISBLANK(C2),"",CONCATENATE(B2," - ",C2))
How do I go about getting these results into a named range so I can use it on validation since validation only seems to ignore truly blank cells and not the "" ones.

Actually, the "" cells means truly blank cells.
But the "Ignore blanks" in data validation does not mean it will remove blanks from the list. It basically means that a Blank will be allowed as a valid entry in the cell.
If you want to get rid of blank cells in the list, you have to create another list that does not include the blanks.
Use the VBA code below to copy data in column F to column G, meanwhile it will remove the blank cells.
Sub test()
Dim arr, i&
arr = Range("F2:F" & Range("F1048576").End(xlUp).Row)
For i = 1 To UBound(arr)
If arr(i, 1) <> "" Then s = s + 1: arr(s, 1) = arr(i, 1)
Next i
Columns(7).NumberFormatLocal = "@"
Range("G2").Resize(s, 1) = arr
End Sub

Supressing blank rows

Hi
I'm sure the answer is already here, but I've been looking for two days and I can't find it.
I have a master table where one of the columns is a check box.
I would like to copy all rows where the check box is ticked to a slave table so that I can then work on the extracted data. The slave table needs to be updated when the master is updated.
I can do this with a an =IF(Table 2 :: $E3="TRUE",Table 2 :: A3,"") formula, but I end up with blank rows in the slave table. I can't find out how to ignore the blank rows and end up with solid data. I realise this is not a very challenging query for you experts, but Im tearing my hair out here!
Secondly, is there a Formula 'cookbook' for Numbers?
Many thanks

JEATT,
Your request is not entirely clear to me, at least probably not as clear as it must seem to you, but I'll take a run at it.
First, eliminating blanks. I find that the best way to eliminate blanks is to sort them to the end of the column. Doing a Sort will move all the blanks to either the top of bottom of the table, depending on how you sort.
Second, the Formula 'cookbook' for Numbers is available from the Help menu. It's called the Numbers User Guide and chapter 5 deals with using formulas and functions n tables.

Intermittent Blank Rows coming in BI Publisher Report output

Hi,
We are working on a BI Publisher report output.
Issue
The report sometimes creates a blank row along with the headings of the report columns. Table has multiple records and between 2 records we have a data being displayed which is optional. When this record is null, it is creating an extra space and hence creating a new page with the headers and a blank row.
Reducing the space is one issue we have thought of. Are there any other pointers to this.
Thanks
Ishani

Hi,
I did not got the complete thing but as you told you need to remove the blank space in the report and at the same you told when a column returns null the row get displayed as blank row.
Then can you try using the Conditional region so that when ever you find the column value as null so you can hide that row.
Just try it i donot no if your requirement is exactly like this or what.
Thanks.

Insert Blank row After every Row in alv report

How to insert blank row After every row in Alv report

what do you mean by a 'blank row'? ALV displays tabular data with 'any' number of columns. Now if you actually want a blank row (no columns at all, just a row), then that is just not possible. If I'm not mistaken, this question was posted before, so try to do a search on SCN. See what is says.

How to Print Blank row in between the lsit of records/rows

Hi,
My Rtf output is 10 rows with 12 columns in each row, which comes form the SQL query of the RDF. Ii want to display a blank row after 9th row and before 10th row. So it would be 11 rows where 10th row should be blank. So how can i get this done through RTF syntax.

Hi,
As far as I know, if we follow your steps: Page Layout settings > Page Setup > Print title> Sheet>Rows to Repeat at Top, we can set the row labels to every page, please see the below image:
We can see the row labels with page layout mode, but it does not display in Print Preview. Please try to save it as PDF or print it to see the row labels with every page.

             Hi there ,
             If you 're working with advance table then you have an default option to create a blank row , please through topic 'add another row '
             in jdev guide .
             If you are working the regular table region then you might follow the below code suggested .
             Create a new item of the type button ( not submit button ) and handle the event in PFR of your controller class
            String addRow=pageContext.getParameter(EVENT_PARAM);   // "addRow " is an event attached to table
            if("addAnotherRow".equals(addRow))

ADF Toystore question: no blank row in viewobject on "Add" JSP form

A new thread based on Suggestions for Automatic Commit/Rollback
In the ADF Toystore application, I did not notice the blank row behavior in the user registration section like we encountered in the other thread posting (Suggestions for Automatic Commit/Rollback To test this, I created another instance of the Accounts viewobject (called it AllAccounts) inside the ToyStoreService app module and then created a JSP to list the contents of the AllAccounts viewobject. Then, I went to the registration page (which creates a blank row in the view object with a status of STATUS_INITIALIZED) and then without submitting the form, I clicked on the link that I created to view the contents of the AllAccounts view object and noticed that a blank row did not appear. What is causing a blank row to appear in our discussions in the other thread (Suggestions for Automatic Commit/Rollback but not in the ADF Toystore application? I guess somehow this row with a status of STATUS_INITIALIZED is being "removed" but I cannot find the code that does this.
Steve -- any ideas?

I was trying to figure out what would be the best practice to implement 'partial rollback'. Could not really find the example in Toy Store demo. For example if we create new account, the model will get dirty. And let's say user does NOT commit the record but rather uses link and navigates to some other pages. After some work user may commit the transaction which in turn will commit blank entry in account table. Well for the sake of example let's assume that this is possible scenario.
So what I am up to is how to implement 'cancel' operation when user changes his/her mind and does something else rather then commit/save_changes in new/edit screens? What would be the best practice?
What I have done so far is rather too bulky. I have implemented event handler for all my links and cancel button in data page:
   * "Cancel" Event Handler.
   * @param ctx The DataAction context
public void onCancel(DataActionContext ctx) {
    HttpServletRequest request = ctx.getHttpServletRequest();
    BindingContext bcc = HttpBindingContext.getContext(request);
    DCBindingContainer dbc = DCUtil.findBindingContainer(bcc, "modifyAddSchedulingUIModel");
    DCIteratorBinding studentCat = dbc.getIteratorBinding("AddModifyScheduleView1",null , "AddModifyScheduleView1Iterator");
    Row currentRow = studentCat.getNavigatableRowIterator().getCurrentRow();
    currentRow.refresh(Row.REFRESH_REMOVE_NEW_ROWS | Row.REFRESH_WITH_DB_FORGET_CHANGES);
    dbc.getApplicationModule().getTransaction().commit();
    String target = "individual";
    ctx.setActionForward(target);
Any other idea?

Blank row added after cancel button on create page

Hi All,
I have a create item page where I insert items into the item table in the database.
On press of the cancel button on this create page, the control reaches a itemlist page with my old search criteria and result but with a new blank row added to it.
Anybody know what's wrong?

Sorry, I misunderstood your previous question. When the cancel button is pressed. I am using pageContext.forwardImmediately with parameters to forward back to my search page. Then in the search page controller I call the AM initQuery method to run the query. My initQuery method has the following code,
StringBuffer whereClause = new StringBuffer(200);
Vector parameters = new Vector(3);
int clauseCount = 0;
int bindCount = 0;
setWhereClauseParams(null);
if ((Program != null) && (!("".equals(Program.trim()))))
whereClause.append("PROGRAM = :");
whereClause.append(++bindCount);
parameters.addElement(Program);
clauseCount++;
if ((PId != null) && (!("".equals(PId.trim()))))
Number PIdNum = null;
try
PIdNum = new Number(PId);
catch(Exception e)
throw new OAException("AK", "FWK_TBX_INVALID_EMP_NUMBER");
if (bindCount > 0)
whereClause.append(" AND (P_ID = :");
else
whereClause.append(" (P_ID = :");
whereClause.append(++bindCount);
whereClause.append(")");
parameters.addElement(PIdNum);
clauseCount++;
setWhereClause(whereClause.toString());
if (bindCount > 0)
Object[] params = new Object[bindCount];
parameters.copyInto(params);
setWhereClauseParams(params);
executeQuery();

Getting Blank Rows and Good Rows in the same bound table

Hi, a little brief here I am a developer at Oracle and am trying to use ADF and Oracle BC's on my webpages.
I am using Oracle TopLink and ADF to display the contents of several tables. The issue I encounter is that TopLink for some reason (I hypothesize memory constraints) does not return the actual contents of the rows but instead nulls to the front end for my ADF Read-Only Table on the page. The number of rows is correct but only the first 11 rows are displayed and after that the rows are completely blank, I cannot navigate to the third set of rows (the second set of rows I can navigate to because there is one good row there) and when I select one of the blank rows and try to perform an action it gives null for the contents of the actual row and throws an exception. How can I resolve this issue?
I have tested that I can see the full contents of the table correctly on another page with less content, but when I put the table on the page that has multiple iterators and also BC's on it only the first 11 rows are visible. Is there an easy solution to this issue, why does it occur, and why is there no error thrown when the null rows are given to the page? Does anyone know of a solution to this issue?

Resolved the issue, the problem was that I had a refresh that was on ALWAYS on the component, I change the refresh to a RENDER MODEL refresh and now can see the whole table.
