Is there a limit of nested IF() statements?

I am currently writing a numbers spreadsheet for inventory reasons. I would normally write a simple java or C++ code in order to create a loop to do what I need the spreadsheet to do. I have logically figured out how to achieve what I need to do using nested loops, but for some reason the equation won't work correctly. I have had days worth of headaches trying to figure out what is going wrong. Maybe some of you can help? My only thought is that there is a limitation on how many nested loops you can have. Below is the equation .... Thanks for your help!

Mason,
That's way too many nested IFs, even if it would function it would be difficult to keep straight. You have gone well beyond where you would be better off with a LOOKUP table or a calculated result.

  • Is there a limit to the number of Apple TV's attached to an iTunes Library

    I recently replaced 7 (seven) Version 1 Apple TV's with Version 3 Apple TV's and noticed that I now receive an error, "Cannot connect to the iTunes Library, ensure that you are on the same network, etc." on two of the Apple TV's. Shutting down iTunes and relaunching results in two others not being able to connect, but two of the previous non-connects now do. I've tried this several times and each time it appears as if only 5 of the ATV's can connect at once. Is this a limit imposed upon by Apple? Is there any workaround besides having two of the "non-connects" access the iTunes store for purchased content? The library is extensive and contains a lot of purchased content, but also contains legacy content from old CD's, DVD's and the like. I'd like to be able to access all of it if possible.
    Note that the way this used to work with the older ATV's was that 2 would directly sync and 5 would stream. But with each new iteration of iTunes these ATV's seemed to get flakier and flakier hence the replacement. The new ATV's are all connected via Home Sharing.
    I'm running iTunes 11.0.2 on a Mac Mini OS X Server (10.6.8). Would it help to upgrade to the latest OS?  I can understand bandwidth issues, but we're running a Gigabit ethernet (wired) network to these ATV's and the old ones worked fine previously. Why impose this limit? Come on Apple. Give us a little love for those of us that push your tech to the limit.

    Perhaps you would post the exact message (because that is not what is states)?

  • Is there a limit to the number of Apps you can download to your iPod touch?

    I just downloaded a batch of new free apps the the App store to my Mac and then synced my iPod and it showed in the progress bar that it was transferring the new Apps to my iPod but when I checked it most on the new Apps weren't on there. Is there a limit to the number of pages you get on the iPod to add new Apps? I actually have 9 pages full now and if the other apps I downloaded are on the iPod where would I find them?
    They are a nightmare to reorganise into groups on the same pages.
    Thanks
    Kevin

    9 pages of apps is a LOT, though I have to admit, I'm about halfway there.
    It doesn't affect how many are SOLD/downloaded... it only affects how many can be used at ONE TIME.
    But you see, will you actually be using ALL 9 pages worth of apps at the same time? Not likely. And as time goes by, you'll find some apps aren't as useful as you thought. While others prove too useful and end up replacing a few others.
    For example, there are dedicated Facebook, LiveJournal, MySpace, etc apps. But if you don't do anything specific, and only blog, you could use one of the third party apps that allows you to blog to most, if not all of them from the same app.
    Do you need a separate app for football, then basketball and baseball, if all you do is see who won? Again, there are other apps that'll give scores for more than one sport... and even include various stats (RBIs, TDs, etc).
    Of the 80+ apps I've downloaded, I've flat out deleted from my computer a handful (cause they stink). And I've "put in reserve" a few others (sort of useful).
    Yes, I agree, there needs to be an easier way to organize them.

  • Is it possible to nest SELECT statements?

    Greetings community,
    Another newbie’s question it is. Looking tutorials and some posts here I’ve been advised not to pull entire table through the local network, and torture client machines’ processors and memory. It’s been said that better solution is to
    pull just one part of the table.
    So, imagine this: you want to make a part of your app that would allow your user to view list of orders. So you put one data grid view on the form, pull last 20 headers from the table into it and leave to user to choose one to be opened
    in another form. If user doesn’t find header they want, they press page up for example and previous 20 headers are loaded into data grid view. Of course, user could filter headers list by customer, or by distribution lane (having all customers residing in
    one part of the town), or whatever more, but let’s not complicate things at this moment, because I’m practically in the beginning.
    I’m trying to make a stored procedure that would load penultimate 20 headers when user presses page up. So, not knowing any better, I created table variable that has the same structure as Orders table with one difference: OrderID column,
    which is identity (auto incremented) in Orders table, here is simply defined as bigint not null. Community member Visakh16 warned me few months ago it’s the bad practice to put self-incrementing columns in table variables.
    At this moment there’s a query on my screen, which waits to become store procedure. After boring part with table variable definition, it goes like this:
    INSERT INTO @OrdersTemp SELECT TOP 40 * FROM dbo.Orders ORDER BY OrderID DESC
    SELECT TOP 20 * FROM @OrdersTemp ORDER BY OrderID ASC
    To put that simply, I pull last 40 headers into table variable, and then pull first 20 from there. This thing works, and I just have to replace 40 with parameter, for every page up or down.
    Now I have few questions.
    -Is there some better way (considering performance) to achieve that? Here is the place where I wanted to ask the question from the title of the post. I don’t know much about T-SQL, and I’m not sure about the proper syntax to nest SELECT
    statements, if something like that is even possible
    -Is there any better way (some built-in function) to find about the count of the rows in one table than
    SELECT COUNT(OrdersID) FROM dbo.Orders
    Thanks for any suggestions.

    Hi Erland,
    Sorry for the very late reply, but I said that I would start another thread when I find more free time to dedicate it to this, so I didn’t really expected you to reply anymore. I didn’t really check here for more than a week, and I glanced
    at mail accidentally.
    As for the negative result I got, its measurement unit is microsecond, so it doesn’t go out of margins you had experienced.
    As for the number of cores, you got me surprised there. I use express edition of SQL server. Last time I checked was SQL server 2012 express, and in specifications it said that express edition is limited to 1 processor core, 1GB of RAM
    and creates up to 10GB database file. I don’t believe they changed any of those specifications. It was generous enough when they doubled size of DB file few editions ago. Still, it appears that “one processor core for express edition” statement has some gray
    areas in it.
    However, at this moment I’m just learning, and I just wanted some way to test how efficient my queries are. I don’t have a real biz problem to solve. I don’t expect that any real performance problem should rise in years of everyday work
    of populating database. What I expect is performance impact when it comes to creating reports, but after all, I don’t think that my boss would create reports by himself. I believe that creating reports would be my task, and I will be doing it after hours,
    being the only user at the moment. Or maybe I could make de-normalized copy of database that would be populated after hours to make it possible for my boss to get his reports faster by himself, as I’ve heard that was the way of making BI in older non-express
    editions.
    So, I do suggest that we finally close this thread for sake of other readers. I’ll start another one with this subject when I find the time to do it.
    Again, thanks for being with me along this journey.

  • Is there a limit to number of SNASW links?

    We have an IBM 3745 with T/R which we disconected and attached a router with SNASW instead. Same macaddress as the 3745. It went fine first but when a lot of people started to logon they hit the wall and the SNASW stopped to respond to new connections. We do not use Virtual T/R, just a plain physicall interface with a SNASW port statement connecting the thing. Is there a limit somewhere?
    Regards
    Bjorn

    Hi Bjorn,
    You can issue show snasw link and specify the port name to see just the links using that port (don't be fooled by the Total links count ... that is the total for all links on all ports).
    Bob has told you how to spot the situation where you are hitting the max-links limit.
    However, based on your previous updates I suspect you have a different problem. Are you still seeing 08060000 in the pdlog? If so, that means there is a problem with the switched major node as Tran pointed out.
    You mentioned earlier that the customer is getting frustrated. If that is so then I suggest you open a TAC case and collect the traces that have been recommended. With the correct documentation in hand this should be a very quick resolution.

  • S1000 Data file size limit is reached in statement

    I am new to Java and was given the task to trouble shoot a java application that was written a few years ago and no longer supported. The java application creates database files the user's directory: diwdb.properties, diwdb.data, diwdb.lproperties, diwdb.script. The purpose of the application is to open a zip file and insert the files into a table in the database.
    The values that are populated in the diwdb.properties file are as follows:
    #HSQL Database Engine
    #Wed Jan 30 08:55:05 GMT 2013
    hsqldb.script_format=0
    runtime.gc_interval=0
    sql.enforce_strict_size=false
    hsqldb.cache_size_scale=8
    readonly=false
    hsqldb.nio_data_file=true
    hsqldb.cache_scale=14
    version=1.8.0
    hsqldb.default_table_type=memory
    hsqldb.cache_file_scale=1
    hsqldb.log_size=200
    modified=yes
    hsqldb.cache_version=1.7.0
    hsqldb.original_version=1.8.0
    hsqldb.compatible_version=1.8.0
    Once the databsae file gets to 2GB it brings up the error meessage 'S1000 Data file size limit is reached in statement (Insert into <tablename>......
    From searching on the itnernet it appeared that the parameter hsqldb.cache_file_scale needed to be increased & 8 was a suggested value.
    I have the distribution files (.jar & .jnlp) that are used to run the application. And I have a source directory that was found that contains java files. But I do not see any properties files to set any parameters. I was able to load both directories into NetBeans but really don't know if the files can be rebuilt for distribution as I'm not clear on what I'm doing and NetBeans shows errors in some of the directories.
    I have also tried to add parameters to the startup url: http://uknt117.uk.infores.com/DIW/DIW.jnlp?hsqldb.large_data=true?hsqldb.cache_file_scale=8 but that does not affect the application.
    I have been struggling with this for quite some time. Would greatly appreciate any assistance to help resolve this.
    Thanks!

    Thanks! But where would I run the sql statement. When anyone launches the application it creates the database files in their user directory. How would I connect to the database after that to execute the statement?
    I see the create table statements in the files I have pulled into NetBeans in both the source folder and the distribution folder. Could I add the statement there before the table is created in the jar file in the distribution folder and then re-compile it for distribution? OR would I need to add it to the file in source directory and recompile those to create a new distribution?
    Thanks!

  • Nested While Statements

    Hey guys,
    Im fairly new to Java programing and i have hit a brick wall in my coding.
    My program is a Multi-choice questionaire. And all works fine until i add the error checking code in, and i dont get (and I can't get to work) nested will statements.
    Could you guys help me merge these to Statements:
    while(!in.hasNextInt())       //This part works fine
    {                                             //This is to check if the user put in a interger.
    in.nextLine();
    System.out.println("\n Invalid Selection!");   
    System.out.println("Please Enter Amswer \n" );
    }and this part i cant get this part to work correctly
    if (Userinput >5 || Userinput <0)    //This is ment to set parameters so that
    {                                                            //the user can only enter the numbers
    in.nextLine();                                      //between 1 - 5
    System.out.println("\n Invaild Selcetion");
    System.out.println("Please Enter Answer\n" );
    Userinput = in.nextInt();
    }I would like to have both sections of code as 1 section so that it checks for both errors before it continues throught he rest of the code.
    any help would be greatly appreciated.

  • 4096 character limit on single SELECT statement?

    Hi,
    Is there a limit on the length of SQL statements that Oracle can handle?
    I am using java Statement class to execute an sql query.
    I always get correct result set as long as my query stays under 4096 characters.
    But if my sql query is longer than 4096, then the ResultSet is empty.
    Note that there are no exceptions being thrown by executeQuery when this happens, just an empty set gets returned.
    String sql = "SELECT FROM ... very long IN clause";
    java.sql.Statement stmt = DBUtilities.getConnection(txn).createStatement();
    ResultSet set = stmt.executeQuery(sql);

    I'm not sure this is the case for this person but I want to report something I just found.   I was using sqlplus with the commands and the query in a @ file (this person is feeding an sql command to an oracle db and wants to process the return with a java program).   I knew the query was good because I had used it many time in many different situations (as an ssis input, running it on sql developer, etc).   But I was constantly getting sql parsing error on my query input so I thought I had reached this 4096 byte query that people were talking about.   Then I tripped upon the solution which may help other people.   I was using windows notepad as the editor and I made absolutely sure there were no trailing blanks (they are not visible, you have to use the arrow keys to see if there are trailing blanks) on any of the query lines (didn't really check the set lines and other sqlplus commands) in the this @command file and all of the sudden it started working the way I wanted.  I think this might help some people.

  • Sql 2008 nested case statement

    I have a question about understanding nested case statements in sql server 2008:
     The sql looks like the folloiwng:
     select numberofcases
      from inventory
      where inventory_cnt > 1000
      (when select top 1
        from inventory
         where  inventory_cnt > 750
      then  numberofcases = 750 * 30
      when select top 2
        from inventory
         where  inventory_cnt > 975
      then  numberofcases = 975 * 35
       when select top 3
        from inventory
         where  inventory_cnt > 1025
      then  numberofcases = 1025 / 10
      when select top 4
        from inventory
         where  inventory_cnt > 1050
      then  numberofcases = 1050 / 5) c * 2
       as casesused, select CustomerNumber from inventory
    I would like you to explain the following:
    1. There are 4 when statements. Will the logic hit each when statemnet or will the logic
       stop once the first when statement is true?
    2. Would you explain what the c* 2 means from the school listed above?

    Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
    use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect. 
    This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. 
     SELECT CASE 
            WHEN Inventory_cnt > 1050 THEN 1050 / 5
            WHEN Inventory_cnt > 1025 THEN 1025 / 10
            WHEN Inventory_cnt > 750 THEN 750 * 30
            WHEN Inventory_cnt > 975 THEN 975 * 35
            ELSE NULL END AS cases_used
     FROM Inventory;
    I would like you to explain the following:
    >> 1. There are 4 when statements. Will the logic hit each when statement or will the logic stop once the first when statement is true? <<
    This code is garbage, not SQL. CASE is an expression, not a statement. Expressions return a scalar value. Your are trying to do control flow! And the answer is that a CASE works this way
    1) look at the THEN clauses and determine the data type to use
    2) test each WHEN clause and execute the first one that tests TRUE in left to right order. 
    >> 2. Would you explain what the c* 2 means from the school listed above? <<
    Syntax error and more garbage code.

  • Is there a limit to sharing folios?

    As the subject states, is there a limit to the number of people to share your folio with?
    To demo an app to different users. And this without having a professional or enterprise account yet.
    Thanks for the info!

    I think it’s 100 but I won’t swear to that.

  • Is there any limitation of nested select.

    Is there any limitation of nested select.If yes please let me know.

    Hi,
    There are no practical limits to nested SELECTs, but as other repliers have already pointed out they quickly become a performance hog. I have stopped using them for years, and when I teach ABAP performance classes I also quote them as one of the top "don'ts". With nested selects, the number of calls to the DBMS can easily become enormous, putting the database server under stress.
    A good alternative - the one I favour most myself - is to use SELECT INTO TABLE for the"outer" select, followed by appropriate SELECT FOR ALL ENTRIES statements to handle the inner levels.
    ABAP joins are another alternative. When properly written, a join will be faster than a nested select. The problem is however that very often joins are not properly written. SELECT statements should always respect the KISS principle (keep it simple, stupid) and with a join it is very easy to violate that rule. A join over 2 tables should probably be OK, but with 3 or more tables you want to be very careful. If you really want to code a complex join, I recommend that you also code the same logic with different means (INTO TABLE/FOR ALL ENTRIES or even nested selects) and then compare that with the join. By the way: don't just compare the performance, also make sure that the two return the same data. You wouldn't be the first to code a really fast join which unfortunately returns incorrect results.

  • Is there a limitation of nested sequences?

    In Final Cut it was always a problem to nest sequence because of render problems with ghostpictures and audio issue.
    Is this better to handle in Premiere Pro escpacially when I'm nesting an always nestet seequence into another or can I go as deep as I want?

    There is no documented limit of Nested Sequences.
    "You can nest sequences within sequences—to any depth—to create
    complex groupings and hierarchies."

  • Build Indexes Script Stopped After 20 Indexes. Is there a limit?

    I created a script to build indexes for my database. I've run it several times and the scrip stops (is shown as cancelled) aftr 20 indexes are built. Is there a limit to the number of indexes available in a database for XE?

    I created this file using an export from the database on another machine.
    I then edited the export file to collect all the "create index" sql statements
    into a single file.
    I am running this file Index.sql using the XE SQL>SQL Scripts window,
    clicking on the script file, and selecting Run.

  • Nesting "If" Statements

    I'm trying to use a radio button to control a repeating subform and the subform containing it.  When the value for the radio button is "no", the containing subform is hidden, but the repeating subform contained within it isn't altered (so in case someone makes a mistake they don't lose all of their data).  When the radio button value is "yes", the containing subform is rendered visible, and I'd like to have it add an instance of the repeating subform only if there are no instances of it currently.  Unfortunately, I can't get the second part to work, and for various reasons I can't use the Initial Count or Minimum Count properties in the Bindings tab.  Here's the code I'm using (in the "change" event of the radio button group):
    if (this.rawValue=='1'){
              Container_Subform.presence="visible";
              if (Container_Subform.Repeating_Subform.instanceManager.count=='0')
                   Container_Subform._Repeating_Subform.addInstance(1);
                   xfa.form.recalculate(1);
    I'm thinking it must be something simple, but I can't think of it.  Thanks in advance for your help.

    I figured out how to do what I was trying to do.  It doesn't involve nested "If" statements, but it works.
    form1.#subform[0].Name.Radio_Button_Group::change - (JavaScript, client)
    if (this.rawValue=='1') && (Container_Subform._Repeating_Subform.count < '1'))
              Container_Subform._Repeating_Subform.addInstance(1);
              xfa.form.recalculate(1);
    form1.#subform[0].Name.Radio_Button_Group.Yes::change - (JavaScript, client)
    Container_Subform.presence="visible";
    form1.#subform[0].Name.Radio_Button_Group.No::change - (JavaScript, client)
    Repeater_Subform.presence="hidden";
