Import a Date for Sorting

I had a large database of my songs on MS Access which included the following info for each song: Title(Name), Artist and Date. The Date was the mm/dd/yy which the song first entered the Top 40 according to Billboard (from one of their reference books).
I have imported all my music into iTunes and while I am satisfied with the automatic entry of Name & Artist during the rip, I would like to find a way to copy or enter the Top 40 Date for each song. I'd like to create playlists sorted by the Top 40 Date.
Is it possible to add this info - hopefully in a scripted way?
The only solution I can see is to enter a date in "yyyy-mm-dd" format into an unoccupied field such as "Sort Show" which is found under the SORTING Tab when you do a "Get Info" (ctrl-I) on a song. This requires entering the date for each song manually which in my case is prohibitive since I have over 2000 songs.
Are there any scripts, apps or suggestions that simplify the process? Any easy way to import the data?

Hi,
1) getting date from Excel:
What format does the date have?
Are you able to convert the value to the Date Type ?
2) putting into the SBO form:
Are you filling it into the DataSource, or just typing it as a String into the EditText?
These are the basic questions, you have to ask yourself.
1)
For example: there is a difference when accessing the Excell Cells(x,y).Value and the Cells(x,y).Text
.Value is usually in Date_Variable format, but the Text is formated to for example MM-DD-YYYY format.
Perhaps you're not able to convert the MM-DD-YYYY into the date variable, thus you will have to change the "MM-DD-YYYY" into the "DD.MM.YYYY" format so you can put it somewhere.
2)
Same problem is with the insertion of date into the SBO, when filling the EditText.String, you will have to convert it into the date, according to the SBO settings ... for example: "MM.DD.YYYY"
There is also the SBObob object, which has the "Format_StringToDate" method, which will convert the string, into the format for DataSource...

Jaro

    Where in the code are you reading from the Excel Spreadsheet? What VIs are you using? What are the problems are you experiencing (errors, unexpected values, etc.)?
    There is a Read From Spreadsheet File.vi in LabVIEW. LabVIEW uses ActiveX controls for .xlsx files, so saving the spreadsheet as a CSV file may be better for this VI. Try it out! See what happens.
    Here some more info on reading from spreadsheets:

  • Fastest way to import the data for big tables

    Hi friends,
    I have recently joined a billing product set up team for TELECOM giant.As part of the setup process /initial testing we need to put huge data (nearly 1.5 billion records/~200 GB size of data) in some tables. Currently i am using impdp for importing .It takes a lot of time (nearly >9 hours for loading this data).
    I have tried the below ways to import the data(All these tables are partitioned):
    1. Normal impdp (single thread i.e. parallel=1): This one takes a lot of time (>24 hours).
    2. Normal impdp but partition-wise .This one is completed in relatively less amout of time compared to the 1st method.
    3. Drop drop the indexes ,do inset append from another schema in same instance which has the data and then recreate the indexes ( total process takes ~9 hours)
    My questions to all:
    1.Is there any other way/trick in the book which I can try to put the data in less amount of time
    2.What i have observed that even if I give parallel=8 or any number ,sometimes parallel workers are spawned and sometimes not. Can someone educate me why ?
    3.How can i come to know (before running the impdp ) that my parallel clause is going to spawn the parallel workers or not. I have searched on this subject but no success as to how I will come to know this.
    I dont know what strategy to follow ,because this is a involved and repetitive task for me. Due to the above task I am not able to concentrate on other DBA tasks due to this which come to me.
    Cheers,
    Kunwar

    assuming you have a table with 3 indexes, then create a script for each index (reblace index_name_n with your index name) and start them at the same time, after the import of the table is completed
    DUMPFILE=<DUMPFILE> or NETWORK_LINK=<DBLINK>
    DIRECTORY=DATA_PUMP_DIR
    LOGFILE=<IMP_INDEX_NAME_n>
    CONTENT=ALL
    PARALLEL=1
    JOB_NAME=IMP_<INDEX_NAME_n>
    INCLUDE=TABLE_EXPORT/TABLE/INDEX:"IN('<INDEX_NAME_n>')"
    TABLES=<SCHEMA>.<TABLE>change following settings during import:
    increase pga_aggregate_target
    increase db_writer_processes
    db_block_checking=false
    db_block_checksum=false
    set undo and temp ts to autoextend
    set noarchivelogmode
    create 4GB redo logs

  • Oracle sql developer import .xls data for table

    When I import data from .xls how come it doesn't show me an message when the import is done? How do i know when it is done? How come I don't see all the rows. When I do a select count(*) from table I come up with different numbers every time I do it.
    Once I do create the table with the data how do I generate the scripts for it. I was able to get the scripts to create the table ->table->Right click -> Export ddl .
    But how do I get the script for the "Insert statements"

    Hesh,
    The numeric value of 39057 in an Excel cell does display as 06-Dec-2006 when applying a date format DD-Mon-YYYY, so you are getting the right value - just not the right formatting.
    Which column type are you trying to import the XLS date into? If you are not loading the value into a date field, SQL Developer is probably just loading the base excel value of 39057.

  • Issues with importing song data and artworks

    Hi all,
    I am having annoying problems with importing songs to iTunes. I recently reinstalled my OS (Windows 7) and iTunes. Now, that I want to import all the songs, I'm facing some difficulties:
    1. iTunes just won't import song data for some albums, although they are clearly included in the song. Windows Media Player has no problems with them, it is just iTunes. Funny thing, so far it only happens to songs previously encoded by iTunes...
    2. A very general problem: iTunes doesn't import artworks properly, coming with the files. Even if it is music that was previously imported by iTunes. I can see the artwork in the Windows Explorer and in the Windows Media Player... but not in iTunes. But then again, sometimes, it works automatically... maybe 1 out of 6 albums...
    Any ideas? maybe it's the ID3 tag version, script issues (UTF, vs. ASCII,...)
    Cheers. Alex.

    Update: I had a couple of more such issues, where the album and/or the artist were imported as "unknown". When I went into the ID3 tags, I saw, that ALL OF THEM had a "0" written into their comments. And ALL OF THOSE albums were either imported through through, or bought from iTunes. Apple Hurray. :-/

  • CFP data for Statechart

    I am trying to build a very simple statechart for standalone use on a cfp 2120.  But I am curious on how to import such data for triggers and controls?  Do you put a I/O cfp path in the input.ctl or do you wire a fp read into the caller vi and build a cluster in the caller vi?  Then when I am trying to output data like LED A and I want it to execute during states is that an LED indicator in output.ctl or is it state data?

    Hi firechief,
     You can put the I/O point in the controls or you can create an I/O constant in the state configuration, or you can wire it from the calling vi.  It depends on what your application is doing on what is best.    You can output to the FieldPoint in the state data, or you could wire the output from an LED indicator into a FieldPoint write in the calling vi.  
    Basically the answer is yes.  You can do it any of those ways.  I think the simplest way is in the state configuration.

    The date information is taken from the camera which writes it to the file. This needs to be set to the correct date and time in the camera itself.
    The order the images are shown in the Library mode is set by clicking on the sort button in the tool bar, which if not showing can be activated from view, tool bar. There are different sort orders that can be applied including sorting by file name. You can also sort by dragging the images to the order you wish them to appear in by selecting user order.

  • How to import Data (For Dummies) into a table

    I have a excel spreadsheet that is an export of an oracle database table. I want to now import that data into another Oracle Database (same table and format). What is the best way to do that.

  • Data Import from Excel for Items

    I have used the data import for items, in the past , to import the prices for existing item. I am using this for the first time in SAP version 9.0. There are new fields due to the additional currencies. In an running a test with two items and two price list codes, code 1 and code 10. When I run the import gets stuck in a loop and keeps giving me errors on line 1 with invalid price code.
    I want to import two price lists Price List 1 and Price List 10. For example I want price list 1 to be $10.00 and price lit 10 to be $5.00
    In the import from excel I have the following fields
    A  Item Number
    B  Price List Code
    C  Unit Price - Primary Currency
    D  Primary Currency

    F  Additional Currency 1

  • Export and import change document for user master data

    Dear Gurus,
    I have two queries on change document for user master data:
    1. Are there any approaches to export and import change document for user master data?
    We often do system copy from PRD to QAS for UAT and troubleshooting. Before system copy we export the user master data from QAS and then import after the copy process. We would like to keep the change document for user master data on QAS from being refreshed from PRD for security reason.
    2. Change document for Role change in QAS
    When the role is created or modified in DEV and then transported to QAS, the role change document doen't include this change log. The role change document in QAS only records those role changes directly made in QAS.
    Could you advise this is by SAP design or are there any approaches to record this transported role change  in the role change document in QAS?
    Thanks
    YBY

    1. Perhaps you want to consider a system copy to a "virtual system" for UAT?
    2. Changes in QAS (as with PROD as well) will give you the delta. They should ideally be clean... You need to check the source system.
    Another option is to generate the profiles in the target system. But for that your config has to be sqeaky clean and in sync, including very well maintained and sync'ed Su24 data.
    Cheers,

  • Roland MC500 into logic - setting tempo for imported midi data

    My mate has an Roland MC500, where he's programmed multi-tracked midi info for songs etc, and we've sussed how to import the channels into separate regions in logic.
    We've set the tempo as per the tempo on the MC500, but after importing the track, after a certain length of time the tempo goes out of sync. All the midi data has come across, and when assigning soft-synths etc it plays fine, but just moves out of tempo.
    Is there a way that, when you have imported midi data in this way, you can ask logic to confirm/set the tempo?
    I've had a read thru the manuals etc, but may have missed where it describes that bit?
    Thanks for any advice.
    andy

    yes...
    you need to set the MC500 to send the MMC over its MIDI outs... than in Logic you must set th sync "Blue button"
    the picture shows MTC but if you scroll down the menu you will find MMC settings... that must be turned ON on Logic settings Synchronization.
    Logic must be setted as Slave... because Roland device is the slower one!

  • Date Format for Spry data set sort

    Hi
    Just feeling my way through the use of Spry Datasets for the
    first time and have a couple of issues hopefully someone with more
    knowledge of it than me know the answer to.
    I had an issue with my Spry Dataset initially that it would
    not work in ie7 but was OK in FF3.
    After some mucking round I realised the error I was getting -
    albeit obscure in IE was telling me it was a date format issue in
    my data set.
    The db data I am playing with here is fairly simple: I have a
    couple of text fields, an integer field that contains the
    unixtimestamp of the entry (its a simple diary application) and a
    formal date field that holds the same date in mysql's date format.
    When I display the date in the dataset I do so in the format
    "23rd May 2009" (as an example)- I code this using phps date
    function in my xml query.
    I had set this field to date format in the Spry dataset
    conditions but IE seems to barf on this- I can change it to
    textstring but then my sort is done on Alpha/Numeric sort of the
    first character in the date field which is rubbish.
    I only display the date in this format and one of the other
    text fields in my dataset- the unixdate is for programmatic
    purposes not general display so I cannot sort on this field if its
    invisible. How can I acheive a date based sort with this set up- or
    what date formats does Spry code prefer for date sorts? (My client
    wants the date to show as I have explained). Many thanks. I have a
    second query which I will post separately!

    I am sorry, but you aren't following my explanation. English
    isn't my mother
    tongue, and I am not able to explain it any better.

    You can take a look at this page:
    http://visual.unipv.it/tmt_calendar/admin/reports/events.cfm
    Even if all the dates here are incidentally using the
    yyyy-mm-dd format, the
    dataset display the date from the "start_date_formatted"
    field:
    <td><a href="javascript:"
    onclick="showUpdate('{event_id}')">{start_date_formatted}</a></td>
    But uses another field to sort the table:
    <th scope="col" spry:sort="start_date">Start
    date</th>
    You can have the same date, using two different formats,
    inside two,
    separated dataset fields. One is used for display, the other
    one is used for
    sort.
    You may try to read again my previous explanations, look at
    the code in the
    page above and see if you get the idea.
