Is it technically possible to merge columns on the fly?

I want to merge two columns only when null AND display data from a separate column in that newly merged column. Is this technically possible?

Possible :)

Is it possible to produce columns in the job log?

to display like this:
Job        col1     col2    col3    col4
job1       data     data    data    data
job2       data     data    data    data
job3       data     data    data    data
The way I would think to set it up would be to have the coded column headings on one line, then to display the job that fails along with its field data under the correct columns. The only thing that I can forsee is that if the data inside the field doesnt exactly fall under the column.
My question is: can this be done? Also, can I display field data for multiple fields on one line?
Thanks

You need to achieve this only with the messages.
Try with this code:
REPORT ZTEST_NP.
PARAMETERS: P_1 TYPE I DEFAULT 10.
DATA: BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
      FLD1 LIKE SYST-ABCDE,
      END   OF ITAB.
START-OF-SELECTION.
DO P_1 TIMES.
    ITAB-FLD1 = SY-ABCDE.
    APPEND ITAB.
ENDDO.
DATA: L_TEXT1(50).
L_TEXT1+0(45) = '---------------------------------------------'.
MESSAGE S398(00) WITH L_TEXT1.
CLEAR L_TEXT1.
L_TEXT1+0(1) = '|'.
L_TEXT1+1(10) = 'Srl No'.
L_TEXT1+11(1) = '|'.
L_TEXT1+13(30) = 'Value of Field 1'.
L_TEXT1+44(1) = '|'.
MESSAGE S398(00) WITH L_TEXT1.
CLEAR L_TEXT1.
LOOP AT ITAB.
    L_TEXT1+0(1) = '|'.
    L_TEXT1+1(10) = SY-TABIX.
    L_TEXT1+11(1) = '|'.
    L_TEXT1+13(30) = ITAB-FLD1.
    L_TEXT1+44(1) = '|'.
    MESSAGE S398(00) WITH L_TEXT1.
    CLEAR L_TEXT1.
*    MESSAGE S398(00) WITH SY-tabix 'Field value' ITAB-FLD1.
ENDLOOP.
L_TEXT1+0(45) = '---------------------------------------------'.

CLEAR L_TEXT1.

Is it possible to merge records from the Adressbook?

1.) If I have 5 people in the group (Addressbook) "friends01" on machine B (Imac stationary) and then takes machine A (laptop) with me and returns with 10 new people which was added into the group "friends01" while away and want machine B to be updated with a total of 15 friends (10 new). How can I do it most elegantly?
2.) Is it a way to do this easy with the whole address book database? Lets say I have updated a few new people here and there (not too organized and not put into groups while away on computer A and then returns to my stationary computer B and just want it to import the new people and not overwrite or delete anything?

Is it possible to disable javascript on the fly?

After a web page has loaded sometimes I need to disable JavaScript without reloading the page. In the old Opera this was as simple as pressing F12 and disabling the option 'Enable JavaScript'. I've tried a few add-ons (NoScript, JS Switch, Toggle JS and QuickJava) but they all seem to reload the page to disable JS. The only way I've found to do what I want is to install Firebug to break into the code but I find this option very convoluted.
Is there a simple way to disable JS without reloading the page?

I wasn't aware that QuickJava is reloading the page as only the javascript.enable pref needs to be toggled.
What makes you think that the page is reloaded?
You can also look at the PrefBar extension.

Dynamically Merging Columns in a table

Hello All,
Is it possible to merge columns in table based on some set of condition.
The current output is as follows:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5
Row1            ""               ""              ""                 ""
SubRow1      ""               ""              ""                 ""
Value 1       Value 2      Value 3     Value 4         Value 5
The output which we need is as follows:
Column 1 Column 2 Column 3 Column 4 Column 5
Merged Row 1 (merged columns)
Sub Row 1 (merged columns)
Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 Value 5
Merged Row 2 (merged columns)
Sub Row 2 (merged columns)
Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 Value 5
Merged Row 3 (merged columns)
Sub Row 3 (merged columns)
Value 1 Value 2 Value 3 Value 4 Value 5
Thanks.
Kiran

The merge is simple if you do not think about it as in word:))
The merge can be done using scripting: just concatenate the values of the fields into one variable, fill in the value to the first column, change its width (to the width of the previous 4 cols) and hide te remaining/ blank cols.
Have fun, Otto

Change the column width on the fly

Dear all,
I have a problem, i have a matrix report, the row is "the project name" and the column is "the items" using within each project, and the problem is the items are variable from time to time the report run for each project, so its exceeds the paper width.
And the question is, is there any way to change the width of the column on the fly, i mean dynamiclly change the column width each time the report is called to make all items fit the paper width.
Thank u

i don't think that we can change the layout of the column in reports
The simple solution for that problem is that u have to
fix the horizontal and vertical layout of the text item
better is to post this problem at reports forum

Merge columns in an ALV Table

Hi colleagues,
is it possible to merge two or more columns in ALV Table (like ColSpan in the Matrix-Layout) to write a text over more than one column?
I haven't found any solution for it until now.
Best regards
Stefan

Although it may not be exactly what you were looking for, you can create a table ColumnGroup:

Is it possible to merge libraries?

hi
id like to know if its possible to merge my iPhoto library from my ibook (tiger) to my iPhoto library in my MacMini (panther).
whats the best way i can have all my pics transferred from ibook to macmini (preferably by album).
thanks for any info.
-a

Hi Artemis,
Do the two libraries share some of the same images?
Are you running the same version of iPhoto?
Do you want to keep keywords, albums, comments intact on the merge?
Depending on how you answer the questions there is a different route you can follow.
If you just want albums from the PB to import into the mini and don't care about keywords,etc.:
Highlight the album in the source column and select all
hit Share/export
Export to a newly created folder on the desktop
Once all albums are exported copy them over to the mini desktop or burn them to a DVD.
Open iPhoto on the mini
drag the album folders into an open iPhoto viewing window.
If you have any images that are the same in both of the libraries, you might get duplicates imported, so you will have to wade through them to delete the dups.
To merge the libraries:
Copy the Entire iPhoto Library folder to the mini
Download and pay for iPhoto Library Manager
Follow directions in the documentation to merge libraries.
iPhoto Library Manager
iPhoto Library Manager documentation
this page will show you everything you can do with iPhoto Library Manager.
Are you using the same username on both computers?

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information. Outcome: Unknown Error

Received this error (The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information.) recently on a workflow that was
working fine and no changes were made to the workflow.
I have tried a few suggestions, i.e. adding a pause before any ‘Update’ action (which didn’t help because the workflow past this action without incident); checked the data type being written
to the fields (the correct data types are being written); and we even checked the list schema to ensure the list names and the internal names are aligned (they
are), but we still cannot figure out why the workflow is still throwing this error.
We located the area within the workflow step where it is failing and we inserted a logging action to determine if the workflow would execute the logging action but it did not, but wrote the same error message.
The workflow is a Reusable Approval workflow designed in SharePoint Designer 2010 and attached to a content type.
The form associated with the list was modified in InfoPath 2010.
Approvers would provide their approval in the InfoPath form which is then read by the workflow.
Side note - items created after the workflow throws this Unknown Error some seem to be working fine.
We have deleted the item in question and re-added it with no effect.
Based on what we were able to determine there don’t seem to be any consistency with how this issue is behaving.
Any suggestions on how to further investigate this issue in order to find the root cause would be greatly appreciated?
Cheers

Hi,
I understand that the reusable workflow doesn’t work properly now. Have you tried to remove the Update list item action to see whether the workflow can run without issue?
If the workflow runs perfectly when the Update list item action is removed, then you need to check whether there are errors in the update action. Check whether the values have been changed.
Thanks,

The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information using Update Item action

I got error "The workflow could not update the item, possibly because one or more columns for the item require a different type of information "I found out the cause is Update Item action
I need to update item in another List call Customer Report ,the field call "Issues" with data type "Choice" to yes
then the error arise . please help..

Thanks for the quick response Nikhil.
Our SPF 2010 server is relatively small to many setups I am sure. The list with the issue only has 4456 items and there are a few associated lists, eg lookups, Tasks, etc see below for count.
Site Lists
Engagements = 4456 (Errors on this list, primary list for activity)
Tasks = 7711 (All workflow tasks from all site lists)
Clients = 4396 (Lookup from Engagements, Tslips, etc)
Workflow History = 584930 (I periodically run a cleanup on this and try to keep it under 400k)
Tslips = 3522 (Engagements list can create items here, but overall not much interaction between lists)
A few other lists that are used by workflows to lookup associations that are fairly static and under 50 items, eg "Parters Admin" used to lookup a partners executive admin to assign a task.

Filter Data with Merged and non merged columns in one

Hi there,
I have an excel spreadsheet that has got merged and non merged columns. What I want to be able to do is, filter a row that has got merged column and non merged columns. But when I filter it only takes the first line, rather than the merged and non merged
columns.
With this data I have one merged column which spans 6 rows, and then in the same row I have 6 rows with different points in, and what I want to do is filter my list, but be able to see the merged coloum aswell as the 6 points.
Any ideas are much appriciated.
Cheers
SAN

You cannot filter across a row - so I have assumed that what you mean is that some cells in columns are merged to serve as the headers, and the data is in the came columns but in the row(s) below the header. If this is incorrect, ignore this post.
For this example, I have assumed E to J are the column of data and merged cells, column K is free, and the first merged header is in row 1:
In K1, enter
=E1
in K2, enter
=IF(COUNTA(E2:J2)=1,E2,K1)
and copy down. Then filter based on column K, and it will show the headers and the data for the selected header value.

Table help: equal distribution of rows adjacent a merged column ?

Hello,
I am using StarOffice 8 (however the same principles ar probably true
in version 7, too).
I have a star office table (not HTML) that I want to behave more like an
HTML table.
For example, if I have a table with 1 row of headers and 5 rows of
content (and some number of columns which is probably not important).
I want to have the first column show 5 explicit rows while some of the
columns to the right are completely merged or row-spanned as one
cell (underneath that column's header cell, which is not merged, or
course).
The issue is this... the first column is distributed such that the cells are
only as tall as the content within them. I can grow them larger by
inserting carriage returns however that is surely a lame methodology,
so I cannot use that as a solution.
The last cell in the column is very very tall. I want the cells to distribute
themselves equally in 5 equal heights as opposed to 4 equal heights
and one super-tall cell in the 5th row. As I mentioned, the column
adjacent and the right of this column is the same 5 rows merged into
one large cell.
i hope this describes my issue adequately...
Cheers
