Insert a field calculated upon others

Hi!
I would like to know if I had several numeric fields, if I could display in another one their average (just display it). I mean, if I had...
Option A: 10
Option B: 5
Option C: 7.5
If I could have a field auto-calculating their average dinamically (in this case, 7.5). Is this possible using FormsCentral? This is exactly what I need and I'm afraid this is not possible.
Thanks.

That is correct, you can't add calculated fields on the form itself.
The only thinkg you can do is add the average function to a new column in the Response Table to perform that computation.
The filler won't see the average but people looking at the data will.

Field calculation doesn't auto update

Hello -
I have a complicated PDF Form that has several pages of fields that are totaled and averaged on the last page. I'm using Acrobat X on the Mac.
Basically, on the last page there are 2 subtotal fields that are calculated based on other (direct-entry) numeric fields in the document. Those 2 SUBTOTAL fields update automatically when I change the direct-entry fields. So far so good.
But, then I have a FINAL AVERAGE field that is supposed to average the two subtotals. But when I update one of the direct-entry values, the subtotals update but the final average does not.
Here's where it gets screwy:
If I try to manually enter a valid number (validation is OK from 0-3) in one of the SUBTOTALs, the subtotal does not change but this forces the FINAL AVERAGE field to update correctly.
If I try to manually enter an invalid # (such as 5) in either of the 2 SUBTOTAL fields Acrobat won't let me enter that number, but it WILL recalculate the final average using that number and give me the wrong answer.
I have tried locking the fields, turning validation on and off, but neither has any effect.
I'm using the AVERAGE calculation function. I wonder if the problem is that I'm averaging a field that is itself using the Average calculation.
There are only 2 fields being averaged. I could just add them and divide by 2, but that is not an option in the field calculation, unless I write a javascript, which I haven't learned how to do yet. So, I can't tell whether that would fix the problem. Is there a way to write a custom calculation formula other than using javascript?
Thanks for any help you can give!

The field calculation order is most likely not correct. You just have to set the order to whatever makes sense for your form.
To do this in Acrobat 10, go to form editing mode (Tools > Forms > Edit) , and then select: Tasks > Other Tasks > Edit Fields > Set Field Calculation Order

I can not insert a field in ANY report . . .

CA Forum: General
I've searched around a bit about this. I can't find anything about anyone who had the same problem.
I was reporting along and suddenly CR v8.5 wouldn't let me insert a field anymore. I can't insert a field on a new or old report from the field exporer. I drag the field to the area of the report that I want to drop it and it stays a black circle with a line through it. It won't allow me to insert any field in any report.
I tested this on my coworkers computer and his is working fine. Same version, same report, same field.
What would cause my install of CR to stop allowing insertion of fields?
Thanks in advance . . .

For anyone else that runs into this issue. I searched heavily and came up with nothing.
I decided to uninstall and then reinstall the application and that fixed the problem.
I still don't know the original cause . . .

Inserting a field at a bookmark location.

I'd like to be able to programmatically insert a signature field into a pdf that has been created via an MS Excel macro that accesses MS Word. Everything works great so so far, including being able to insert the signature field.
However, the location (vertical) of the signature field may change from pdf to pdf so I thought I might be able to insert that field at the location of a bookmark that has been created in MS Work and successfully transferred to the pdf. But, it seems bookmarks don't have location attributes so I can "locate" the bookmark.
And the addField method seems to only want the four points of a rectangle in order to insert the field.
Having written all that, can anyone suggest how I might achieve my goal of inserting a field at a location that may change?
Thank you.

As you've noticed, bookmarks and fields do not operate in the same way.
What you can do, though, is write a script that will add a signature field
to each page a bookmark is pointing to (at a pre-defined location, such as
one of the corners). This can be achieved using a custom script.

Regarding inserting a field or text in template cell

Hi Experts,
Please let me know how to insert a field or text in the Cell in template.
I created template
C1 1 14 20.00 MM 8.00 CM 4.00 CM 4.00 CM CM
i have 14 lines and 3 columns in it
i need to insert the feilds and text in it.
Please let me know ,how to proceed.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
To insert the text and field value inside the template you need to add insert the text inside the tempate node.
assign the text or field into the text and then decide the position of the ext in the templete in output condition tab or text.
insert the row and column number in the this to filed where you want to display the text.
for e.g if field needs to displayed in the 2nd row and 3rd column then mention line = 2 and column = 3 in the output tab of the text.

TFS Workitems:Bugs : I want ot select different lists, from the global list, for fields basd upon user group

Hi,
I am customizing the bug workitem workflow.
I want ot select different lists, from the gllobal list, for fields basd upon user group
I am aware that I can use "when" clauses in the allowed/suggested values of the field.
My question is : how do I get the group(s) that the current user is in and how do use this to select different lists?

Hi!
You can not do this through standard way. You must to create the custom work item control:
http://witcustomcontrols.codeplex.com/
And get the user group through IIdentityManagementService.
IIdentityManagementService IdentityService = _workItem.Store.TeamProjectCollection.GetService<IIdentityManagementService>();
TeamFoundationIdentity _curid = null;
_workItem.Store.TeamProjectCollection.GetAuthenticatedIdentity(out _curid);
string _group = "Admin";
var _gr = IdentityService.ReadIdentity(IdentitySearchFactor.AccountName, _group, MembershipQuery.Direct, ReadIdentityOptions.None);
if (_gr.Members.Where(s => s.Identifier == _curid.Descriptor.Identifier).Count() > 0) return true;

MS Project 2007 - Help with custom field calculation for grouped by dates view

Hello
I am trying to creat a view that counts number of students in courses (while # Students is a custom field that is filled manually and courses are tasks).
The view should be grouped by Quarters, Months, and weeks (Calculated custom Text fields)
The weeks groups are displayed by the start day of each week.
For example:
The view counts how many students are in courses in a specific week/month/quarter.
This is the group by definition:
Those are the fields calculations:
“WW_Start” field calculation:
(Year([Start]) & " W " & Format([Start],"WW") & " " & "   [" & Datevalue(ProjDateSub([Start],CStr(Weekday([Start])-1),"Standard")) & "]")
“MM” field calculation:
Year([Start]) & " M " & Format([Start],"MM")
Basically it works but it doesn't cover a situation where a course is more then a week.
Lets say that the duration of the task is 12 days, the task should appear on 3 different weeks groups.
But what i did puts the tasks only in the group that shows the first week of the task.
How can i change my calculations or my view so that in the second, and third week of the task it will also show the task and it's attributes.
For example:
- "UV5 ACM" task should also be in W 45 not just W 44.
Anyone has an idea how to do that?

Hi
First, thanks for the comment "nice neat groups" :)
I think you understood correctly what is my issue.
Second, about your question: the class have the same number of students during the course period.
It will have 10 students even if the duration is 1 day or 10 days.
if you look at the basic gantt chart you will see a row like this:
Task name        Duration        Num_Students     Resource names (Instructors)
Course YYY       10d                10
Instructor X
it is an attribute on the task, not the assiment.
When i group by dates (Weeks, months, quarters) or by another field (can be course type for example) i the students are summed in the task summary level for all tasks.
Lets say i group by all the tasks (Classes) that are in the 1st quarter, and lets say for the example that there are 3:
Task 1 --> 5 students
Task 2 --> 10 students
Task 3 --> 7 students
Then, the group by summary should count:
Quarter 1 - 2014:   22 (students)
Task 1 --> 5
Task 2 --> 10
Task 3 --> 7
By the way, it doesn't matter if the version is project 2007,2010, 2013, the logic is the same.
Hope it helps and i'll be glad to have some ideas or evan get examples for solution in a project file by e-mail.

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

When filling out a form, some fields copy to others when I tab to the next. How can I make this stop?

You can't using Adobe Reader. It looks like whomever created the form used the same identifiers (names) for various fields. Each field with the same name will populate with the information used in another field of the same name. This is intentional.
Normally when I see this, it tells me that someone created an initial field then copy/pasted it to make additional fields but forgot to change the names.

Problem Inserting Euro Symbol and few others

We are using java application with oracle 8.1.6 as the db with the charset as WE8ISO8859P15. ALl the forms are using multipart request. We cannot do away without that. When trying to insert euro symbol and few other western european characters, they get converted to something else before getting stored in the db and so we are not able to display them properly on retrieval.
Can anyone please help in this direction?

Just set the nls_charset.zip in classpath and then try to insert into db.I think it might not be a problem with database.(note. if u insert euro character it will be reside in db, as some format but u retrive it and stream it thru servlet it will be displayed in the browser properly, if u write using printwriter then it might give "?" / "O" in browser. refer http://www.inter-locale.com/faq/blacksquares.jsp).

Populate field based on other lookup field in form

Hello,
In a list item in Infopath, I have a field which looks up a location. You can select the location in a dropdown list.
I want to fill another field with the manager name of the selected location. That manager name is a field in the other form also. In a Sharepoint workflow you can do such a thing (look for a specific list item in another list, based on a selected field in
that list).
To summarize: if I fill the location field with info from another list, I want to automatically fill another field with the manager of that location - which is also in that other list.

Hi mRRRc1,
For achieving your demand , please take steps in the InfoPath as below:
Open the list which contains the look up field using InfoPath.
Create a Data Connections from SharePoint list: Click From SharePoint List control under tag DATA -> Input your site URL in the Data Connection Wizard page -> Select the original
list -> Select Location and Manager field -> Enter a name for this data connection(such as Test) -> Finish.
Create a Rule for Location look up field :
Condition: LocationLookUp is not blank
Rule type: Action
Run these actions: Add “Set a field’s value”
