Is it possible to randomise rows of data in Numbers?

I have over 100 rows of data (a mixture of numbers and words) on a numbers spreadsheet. This data was from survey responses and they were enterted in the order they were collected. However, i want the order to be random so that analysis can be as anonymous as possible. Therefore, is there a way to put rows of data in numbers into a random order?

Sure. Add a column that has the formula = RAND() in every row. Sort by that column. Each sort will create a new randomization.
If you ever want it back in the original order, first add an "index" column (1,2,3,4 etc. down to the last row) so you can sort by that column to get back to the original order.

Alternatives to using update to flag rows of data

Hello
I'm looking into finding ways of improving the speed of a process, primarily by avoiding the use of an update statement to flag a row in a table.
The problem with flagging the row is that the table has millions of rows in it.
The logic is a bit like this,
Set flag_field to 'F' for all rows in table. (e.g 104million rows updated)
for a set of rules loop around this
Get all rows that satisfy criteria for a processing rule. (200000 rows found)
Process the rows collected data (200000 rows processed)
Set flag_field to 'T' for those rows processed (200000 rows updated)
end loop
Once a row in the table has been processed it shouldn't be collected as part of any criteria of another rule further down the list, hence it needs to be flagged so that it doesn't get picked up again.
With there being millions of rows in the table and sometimes rules only processing 200k rows, i've learnt recently that this will create a lot of undo to be written and will thus take a long amount of time. (any thoughts on that)
Can anyone suggest anything other then using an update statement to flag each row to avoid it being processed again?
Appreciate the help

With regard to speeding up the process, the answer is
"it depends". It all hinges on exactly what you mean
by "Process the rows collected data". What does the
processing involve?the processing involved is very straight forwards.
data in these large tables stay unchanged. for sake of this example, i'll call this table orig_data_table, the rules are set by users who have their own tables built (for this example we'll call it target_data_table).
the rules are there to take rows from the orig_data_table and insert them into the target_data_table.
e.g
update orig_data_table set processed='F';rule #1 states : select * from orig_data_table where feature_1 = 310;this applies to 3000 rows in orig_data_table.
these 3000 rows get inserted to target_data_table.
final step is to flag these 3000 rows in the orig_data_table so that they are not used by another rule proceeding rule 1 : update orig_data_table.processed='T' where feature_1 = 310;
commit;rule #2 states :select * from orig_data_table where feature_1=310 and destination='Asia' and orig_data_table.processed = 'F'so it won't pick the 3000 rows that were processed as part of rule #1
once rule #2 has got the rows from orig_data_table (e.g 400000 rows)
those get inserted to the target_data_table, followed by them being flagged to avoid being retrieved again
update orig_data_table.processed='T' where destination='Asia';
commit;continue onto rule #3...
- Is the process some kind of transformation of the
~200,000 selected rows which could possibly be
achieved in SQL alone, or is it an extremely complex
transformation which can not be done in pure SQL?its not at all complex, as i say the data in orig_data_table is unchanged bar the processed field which is initially set to 'F' for all rows and then set to 'T' after each rule for those rows fulfilling the criteria of each rule.
- Does the FLAG_FIELD exist purely for the use of
this process or is it referred to by other
procedures?the flag_field is only for this purpose and not used elsewhere
Having said that, as a first step to simply avoid the
update of the flag field, I would suggest that you
use bulk processing and include a table of booleans
to act as the indicator for whether a particular row
has been processed or not.could you elaborate a bit more on this table of booleans for me, it sounds an interesting approach for me to test...
many thanks again

In a hierarchical query, is it possible for a row to have more than one immediate ancestor?

Hi
Question:
In a hierarchical query, is it possible for a row to have more than one immediate ancestor?
Answer:
No
No? Surely, it's yes?
Thanks,
Jason

As Frank pointed out already hierarhical most often means a tree (data structure) to deal with.
There must usually be just one boss (the root) in which case the answer is no.
Something to read: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tree_(data_structure)
You can find out Solomon spoke about a generalization therein.
Related to forum troubles:
If I login first thing after reaching forum, the behaviour is rather consistent - I'm allowed to post answers, otherwise ...

Sequence: possible to use sequence in "Data" tab

Hello,
I have one question concerning the "Data" tab in Developer which makes it possible to enter rows like in an excel sheet.
Is it possible to use a sequence in a direct way here? Entering "<sequence_name>".nextval or ""<sequence_name>".currval" just puts the string like "s.nextval" or "s.currval" in a varchar2-field.
Trying to put "s.nextval" in a number-field results in ORA-01722 which means invalid number.
Would be very helpful when there is a way to do this?
Thanks a lot in advance for answers how I can achieve this.
Regards
Firefighter

SQL Developer has a small utility that does what Jim describes. Select Tables, right -click to invoke the context menu, then select Trigger -> Create (PK from SEQUENCE). The context menu title is misleading in a sense that you might want to populate any column and you can, but in general this can be used to populate the PK with the next value in a sequence. (Assuming you have created the sequence)

Copy a certain row of data into the next row in a same internal table ??

HI, guys.
May i know how to copy a certain row of data into the next row in a same internal table ?? Bcz I plan to update a certain colum of data in the row just now into another value..
For example:-
*at first...
ebeln1   ebelp1   xblnr1
ebeln2   ebelp2   xblnr2
ebeln3   ebelp3   xblnr3
*after that, become...
ebeln1   ebelp1   xblnr1
ebeln2   ebelp2   xblnr2
ebeln2   ebelp2   xblnr4
ebeln2   ebelp2   xblnr5
ebeln3   ebelp3   xblnr3
Thanks in advance.

hi,
If you have this kind of requirement then you must be having 2 internal tables ,one existing data and 2nd from which you have to insert the records into 1st table.
so in this case,
loop at itab1.
v_index = sy-tabix.
loop at itab2 into wa where pri_key = itab1-pri_key.
v_index = v_index + 1.
insert wa into itab index v_index.
endloop.
endloop.
Using this code ,your data records similar to your 1st tables primary key records will get inserted into table.

The session getattributes lost one row of data in the html input table

Deal all,
I have input three rows of data in a html table. But I found
the last row will disappear and lost when it return the data to
backend. I think that maybe caused there is an error checking which
prompts an error and after that , I change the value of the last(3rd)
row and try to save it. The last row disappear in the UI and being not
sent to the back end. Here is my code of the JSP
RosterCodeSetupCommand rosterCodeSetupCommand =
(RosterCodeSetupCommand)request.getSession().getAttribute("rosterCodeSetupCommand");
int cmd = rosterCodeSetupCommand.getCmd();
int pageNo = rosterCodeSetupCommand.getPageNo();
EtWorkTime etWorkTime = rosterCodeSetupCommand.getEtWorkTime();
List policyList = rosterCodeSetupCommand.getPolicyList();
As you can see, the EtWorkTime is get from the rosterCodeSetupCommand.
Usually, the rosterCodeSetupCommand will have all the rows in the
table. But now in EtWorkTime, I found last row data is lost.
And in the UI, when I press Save, the last row is disappear. So I
guess the problem is happened in
request.getSession().getAttribute("rosterCodeSetupCommand"); But I
can't figure out what can make the last row lost in this sentence.
Would you mind to give me some hints on what will make this happen and
I will try to trace the code by myself. Thanks.

Hi,
I am not sure are you using spring framework or what. if yes you can populate data in command object in referenceData method of simpleformcontroller and that data will be available to the UI.

Relationship between header and row level data.

Hi all
I need to know how to relate a field in the header level and the row level...
On my row level i want the route id to be related to the route name field at the header level...instead of showing this route id it must show only the header so...based on the row level data the header must change...
I tried insertin the field but when i do a relate to on either fields its showing me only fields on that catagory ( Header only or Row Level only)
Thanks

The Header is evaluated and printed first and then only Repetitive area is computed and printed. You cannot try to arrive header based on the Repetitive area.
Please explain in detail which screen etc.. so that we can suggest some work arounds

Crystal Report can only retrieve 1 row of data

We are using the following configuration:
- Microsoft Windows 2003 Server R2 for x64
- Microsoft .Net Framework 3.0 for x64
- Oracle Client 10g 10.2.0 for x64, which inlcudes Oracle Provider for OLE DB 10.2.0.2.21
- Crystal Report 10 redistributable for x64, from Visual Studio 2005
With that configuration, each time we run a report in ASP.Net, we can only retrieve 1 row of data, even though the data is more than that. We have no issue running the same report in 32 bit (same configuration as above, but 32bit).
For the meantime, we use ODBC connection, and it runs well. But, ODBC is slow and since the system that we build is still under heavy testing, if any problem occurs during report generation, it locks up other reports and we have to restart the IIS. So, ODBC connection is definitely a no-no.
Please help.

Multiple clobs in a single row of data

I have several clobs in a single row of data and have created a procedure where I attempt to display the first 4k of each clob.
using a for loop cursor I select all of the clobs in a row at the same time and then I use dbms_lob.read to get the first 4k of data.
For the first lob of each row everything works fine but when I attempt to dbms_lob.read the second one I get an "ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: invalid LOB locator specified: ORA-22275" and I'm not sure why?
does anyone know of an example where two or more clobs are selected and then converted to 4K varchars?
sample columns for the table:
SPECIALREQUIREMENTSS     CLOB
REFERENCERANGE     CLOB
ALERTVALUE     CLOB
REFERENCELAB     VARCHAR2(50 CHAR)
TESTINCLUDES     CLOB

Currently, the above codes issue is that although many rows of data have been inputted in all the tables, with regards to the select criteria above (in italics), it only produces one row of data when i expect more than one to appear.
If the query only outputs one row but you're expecting it to produce more than one row, then you need to dissect the statement to find out where the output is being unduly restricted
I was told maybe an outerloop or an inner loop would do the trick, but really stuck on how and where to put it.
Hope this makes sense guys and I would really appreciate your time.
Thanks

if i run this particular code
( SELECT
AccountDetails.CUSTOMERNUMBER, AccountDetails.ACCOUNTNUMBER, CUSTOMERDETAILS.CDTITLE, CUSTOMERDETAILS.CDFIRSTNAME, CUSTOMERDETAILS.CDLASTNAME, AccountDetails.ACCOUNTTYPE,
AccountDetails.ORIGINALCONTRACTENDDATE, AccountDetails.CONTRACTTERM, AccountDetails.CONTRACTENDDATE, AccountDetails.BRANCHAREA, AccountDetails.PRODUCTTYPE,
AccountDetails.HOUSEBANKACCOUNT, AccountDetails.CARMODEL, AccountDetails.CARLICENCE, AccountDetails.ARREARSBALANCE, AccountDetails.CODEBTOR, AccountDetails.GUARANTORNUMBER
FROM AccountDetails
JOIN CUSTOMERDETAILS ON AccountDetails.CUSTOMERNUMBER = CUSTOMERDETAILS.CUSTOMERS1
WHERE EXISTS
( SELECT *
FROM Dcaaccountallocation
JOIN DebtEpisodes ON DebtEpisodes.ACCOUNTID = Dcaaccountallocation.ACCOUNTID
WHERE Dcaaccountallocation.dcaid = 41
AND Dcaaccountallocation.status = 2
AND DebtEpisodes.DCASentDate IS NULL
AND Dcaaccountallocation.ACCOUNTID = AccountDetails.ACCOUNTNUMBER
AND DebtEpisodes.DCAORLAWYER = 'DCA'
This returns 1 row of data
However if i run a small part of the above code...
SELECT *
FROM Dcaaccountallocation
JOIN DebtEpisodes ON DebtEpisodes.ACCOUNTID = Dcaaccountallocation.ACCOUNTID
WHERE Dcaaccountallocation.dcaid = 41
AND Dcaaccountallocation.status = 2
It returns a lot of rows with a status of 2
Now i presume what I am going to do is to ensure that all the fields provide satisfactory requirements, with regards to the above code. Although I have many records in all the stated tables already.

How to activate a different sub-report for each row in the data set as main report page breaks on each row of data in the main dataset

I am going to try asking this same question a different way as I have yet to find a working solution to my problem. I have a main report and then 8 sub reports. My main report has one data set and returns one row of data per account number. One
of the fields in the main data set is called AccountProf. My main report displays one page per Account number and then calls a different sub report based on that account's AccountProf value. The sub reports take in the account number as a parameter
and get multiple rows of data to display that accounts usage formatted differntly for each AccountProf (hence the 8 different sub report.
So far I can figure out how to do everything but setting the visibility property of each sub-reports when I have multiple accounts. If I use the following expression for the visibility property on each sub report, it makes all the applicable sub report
for all the accounts requested visible at once:
=IIF(Fields!AccountProf.Value= "USE_PLUS_DMD",False,True)
*The value in bold USE_PLUS_DMD is different for each sub report.
Here is a look at what the main report look like:
Here is the main reports data set:

Hi JasonDWilson77,
According to your description, there is a main report and 8 sub reports in the report, you want to set visibility of sub reports, if no value is passed to the parameter of sub report, the sub report will not be displayed. If that is the case, please refer
to the following steps:
1. Create a new parameter named NewAccountNumber, set its data type the same as @AccountNumber, select Allow multiple values, set Visibility to be hidden, then set all available values to default values.
2. Right-click the first sub report and open Subreport Properties dialog box, click Parameters in left pane, set name to AccountNumber, then click (fx) button, type the expression like below:
=Parameters! NewAccountNumber(0)
3. Click Visibility in left pane, select Show or hide based on an expression, then click (fx) button and type the expression like below:
=IIF(InStr(Join(Parameters! AccountNumber.Value), Parameters!NewAccountNumber.Value(0))>0 , false,true)
4. Modify parameter of other sub reports like step2.
5. Set visibility of other sub reports like step3.
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

How to determine the number of rows of data in a datatable?

I have a datatable that I fill from an SQL query. I do not know exactly how many rows of data it will return (due to my selection criteria) but will be somewhere between 100 and 300 rows. I send this data into a report but need to determine the length of the report (panel height data member) programatically based on how much data the query has returned. So, I need a way to count how many rows are filled in the data table.
I tried doing a nested "if" statement checking the value of each cell but when I tested the expression at 59 "if" statements (will need 300+) I got a parser error in lookout when I tried to accept the connection. I also tried a type of loop by assigning cursor.2 either to its own value (circular) or to its own value plus one depending on the value of the cell at cursor.2. It was close but overshot by one row or more (much more sometimes).
Any clever ideas? Perhaps I have just been looking at this problem too long. Thanks, in advance, for your help.

Since the datatable gets the data from the SQL query, you can also use the SQL statement to count the number of rows in the query result.
For example, in datatable you do "select localtime, trace1 from intdata where xxx". You can get the count by "select count(trace1) from intdata where xxx". Use the same condition in order to get the same number of rows.
Maybe another SQLExec object is needed to do the count.
Whenever the datatable executes the SQL, the SQLExec executes and return the count.

Is it possible to sync time capsule data to a external hard drive connected to time capsule via usb. (as an precaution just incase time capsule fails)
Thanks

Yes, if the USB drive has been previously formatted correctly in Mac OS Extended (Journaled) format.
