List Column Validation Formula for Text

I want to use the List Column Validation to prevent users from entering a period "." into a text field. If they try to save the list with a period in the text field the message would be displayed. What formula syntax will allow me to do this?

Bob,
You are correct, the validation formula needs to evaluate to true (valid) or false (invalid). We could simplify the above even further by using =ISERROR(FIND(".",Title)). The reason we can remove the "IF" portion of the formula is because
ISERROR is already returning true when the FIND function fails to locate a period in the Title.
The IF statement comes in handy at times and it takes 3 parameters. The first is an expression to evaluate, the next is a value to return when the expression is true, and the last is a value to return when the expression is false. Let's
say you wanted the opposite and enforce all Titles to include a period. You could change the above formula by simply reversing the position of the true/false values of the IF statement as follows:
=IF(ISERROR(FIND(".", [Title])),FALSE,TRUE)

PLEASE HELP: PDF Forms, creating average formula for text?

Hello,
I really hope somone can help. I cannot find any answers to my questions on the internet, google etc.
First time using Acrobat. Im pretty quick learning on compters however the formulas my boss has asked me to do I have no idea if they are possible.
We have a report form for exams and each section I need to calculate the average mark for that section.
There are 3 questions for the first section. There are dropdowns for distinction, Merit, Pass and Below pass to select for each questions.
Please see picture attached to show you what I mean.
I want to be able to calculate the most selected/average dropdowns selected and not count the N/A's into award1 field?
The fields must be text and cannot be numbers.
so for example, track 1 got a distinction, track 2 got a Merit, Track 3 got a distiction. all other fields left n/a
is there anyway to do this also is there any way to exactly the same as above as check boxes? - please see picture attached
I appriciate any help. I am working on a mac
Thanks
Lauren

Thank you so much reply
Yes on the dropdowns the distincion, merit, pass or below pass values are in the correct areas ready for selection. For example on the distiction row you can only drop down for distinction and so on for Merit row dropdowns etc
Check box is the way I rather do it as its quicker, however I created the dropdown option just incase check boxes average was not possible
On the check boxes if i select merit for rtack 1 I would just tick the box and leave the the rest of the colum blank with no ticks. So just by seeing the tick I know its in the merit section for Track 1. However I donts know if I can do an average formula for with check boxes.
If I check boxed/slected distinction for track 1, distnction for track 2 and merit for track 3 (obvisley any box could be ticked depeneding how the exam went so need then all in the script). I would like it to then calculate the avergae mark which would be distinction in the award1 field. While the none ticked boxes or N/A fields not affecting the average.
This is just the start to a huge form Im doing Im dreading the rest of formulas I have to do lol
sorry if im confusing you

Square brackets for list column validation disappear when saved

Hi,
I have a Title field which is a required field. I tried to put some user message in the Column's validation setting when the field is not filled in.
It should be very simple. But everytime after I put in the =IF([Title]<>"",TRUE,FALSE) in the Formula and save it, the Formula becomes =IF(Title<>"",TRUE,FALSE) when I come back.
The column validaton doesn't use the user message. Please advise...
Thanks in advance.

Looks like the required field can't take custom user message.
It works on non-required fields.

Setting Up A Contact Distribution List of Family Members for Text Messaging

Friends,
Is it possible to set up a distribution list of my family contacts? I have several brothers and sisters and would like to send the same text message to all of them at once. Can I key all of their phone numbers into one heading such as "family" and then use that as my "phone" number in the TO field?
Please let me know if this is possible and if so, how do I do it?
Thanks for your help.

Column Data type for text more than 10000.

Hi,
Which data type is best suited for a column which will have a text length more than 10000. The text is simple english only.
Regards
Srini

HiTodd Barry,
The version i am using is 8.1.7.
What is the capacity of CLOB in terms of english characters. Documetation says it is 4 GB.But it does not talk about length of characters..When i am trying to insert simple english text of length of 10000, i am getting following error:
ERROR at line 1:
ORA-01704: string literal too long.
Even LONG datatype also can take up to 5000 only.
Can you suggest the best way to insert such a huge text..
Appreciate your response.

Columns and Rows for Text (invisible table)

I am trying to create text on 15 rows in 3 columns in an invisable table for a drinks menu with corresponding drink sizes (ml) and prices. I used the option Type > Area Type Options and added a grid. I encountred 2 problems:
Firstly the grid disappears (or I just cannot view it) , and secondly, i do not want the columns to be of equal size - I am looking to achieve a 60%-20%-20% ratio. I cannot find a way to resize the column widths, Would be grateful for any advice

Hi Steve, thanks. I get you as far as 'Split into Grid'. I still cant figure out how to increase the size 1 whole column (of 15 rows) in one sweep and to decrease the size 2 other columns (of 15 rows each) as one would do in an xls. chart. To widen each one seems tedious and with transform the cells are widened, but the other 2 do not automatically decrease in size. The The whole idea of the operation is simply to align the drink item to the amount (in liters) and price (horizontally) but keeping the cell content alignment (vertically uniform throughout the columns Drink name = align Left and Drink amount = align Righ as in Example which I created from a xls chart .

Column Validation on Single Line of Text

I have a sharepoint input form in SP2013, which contains text field with below properties
1. Type: Single line of Text
2. Under Column validation
=AND(ISNUMBER([Column name]+0),ISERROR(FIND(".",[Column name],1)))
On form submit, the above condition evaluates and throws an error if field value is non numeric field.(This is expected and working fine)
I also want to add another condition that should not allow preceding zero
example: it should throw error on 0122343(any number starting with zero)

You should achieve that with the following formula :
=AND(AND(ISNUMBER([Column name]+0);ISERROR(FIND(".",[Column name],1)));LEFT([Column name],1) <> "0")
If the first character of your column is 0 it fails validation

Formula for ascending column of numbers

Hi,
I never use Numbers so forgive a crazy simple question.
I have a list of names and other details in Numbers. I'd like to add a column to the very left that, for each row, has a number corresponding to each "record".
These numbers would ascend from 1, as each row ascends.
What would the formula for this be? I hate to have to enter each manually. There are hundreds of records.
Thanks so much for your help.

Is this what you are wanting to do:
Autofill cells
You can quickly add the content from selected cells to adjacent cells without typing it. You can also fill a row or column with a logical sequence of data—for example, a series of digits, dates, or letters.
Do any of the following:
Autofill the content from one or more cells into adjacent cells: Select the cells with the content you want to copy, then move the pointer over a border of the selection until a yellow autofill handle appears. Drag the handle over the cells where you want to add the content.Any data, cell format, formula, or fill associated with the selected cells is added, but comments aren’t. Autofilling overwrites existing data with the value you’re adding.
Autofill sequential content or patterns into adjacent cells: Type the first two items in the series in the first two body cells of the row or column you want to fill; for example, type A and B. Select the cells, move the pointer over a border of the selection until a yellow autofill handle appears, then drag the handle over the cells you want to fill.You can also autofill cells using a pattern of values. For example, if two selected cells contain 1 and 4, the values 7 and 10 are added when you drag over the adjacent two cells (values are incremented by 3).
Autofilling doesn’t set up an ongoing relationship among cells in the group. After autofilling, you can change the cells independently of each other.
When you autofill cells, any formulas that refer to those cells are updated automatically to use the new value.

Column validation for JTable?

Hi all,
i have a table on my app, there is a column that show boolean value on the table. it's represented by check box, cause i'm using a custom table model. the datas is took from database.
i want to create a column validation to validate at least only 1 cell must checked, if there's only a checkbox that checked and when we try to uncheck the last one it will show us a warning. how to make it possible?
anyone can help me?
ps:
i'm using jdk1.6.0_04

You will probably need to create a custom editor.
This code shows how to create one using a text field. The code will be similiar for a check box:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=642364
You will need access to the JTable or TableModel and would need to look at the values in every row for the specific column before determining whether to stop editing or not.

Can somebody give me the formula for the balance column in a check register please? I am trying to setup like sample in iWork but am missing something.

Can somebody give me the formula for the balance column in a check register please? I am setting the register up like the sample in iWork 09 but I seem to be missing something in the formula.

OM,
The way the checking account balance column works is to designate one cell for the starting balance, indicate income with positive figures and outgo with negative figures, summing the transactions and adding the sum to the starting figure.
The formula used, =$F$1+SUM(OFFSET(F3,3-ROW(),-1,ROW()-2)), is not too difficult to understand if you study the syntax for Offset. The author of this template didn't do us any favors because the expression could have been written more clearly, in my opinion. I'll explain how it's done in the template, and then how I would have written it. With the two approaches you may be able to see what it's all about.
$F$1 is the starting balance.
SUM requires a Range specification.
Offset provides the range specification. The syntax for Offset is as follows:
Base Cell. In this case it is F3, the cell the expression is written in.
Row Offset. In this case the author takes the current row number and subtracts the starting row from it. For the first balance the offset will be zero since the first balance is in row 3. For all the subsequent balances, the offset will be negative, meaning that the offset will point to a row above the current row.
Column Offset. In this case the column offset is 0. That means that it is pointing 1 column to the left, Column E.
Rows. This parameter sets the length of the range, in rows. Subtracting 2 from the current row number means that the range will be 1 for the first balance and will grow by 1 for each entry down the list.
Taking all this into account, the range for the Sum function will always be Column E from Row 2 to the current Row.
How I would have written the balance expression:
=F$1+SUM(OFFSET(E$3,0,0,ROW()-2))
I believe it's easier to follow.
The starting balance is still in F1, but only the row needs to be absolute - a fine point, I know.
In my expression the base cell for the Offset function is the first entry cell of the transactions, E3. The row needs to be absolute, there is no reason for the base cell to move about as it does in the author's version.
In my approach, both the row and column offsets are zero. We always start at E3.
In my approach, the number of rows in the range is the current row number minus 2, just as in the author's expression. That means we include all rows from Row 3 to the current row.
I'd be happy to answer any other questions about the specifics, but you need to be specific about what you don't get.

Tick boxes for text formula

Hello
could someone please help me
i have a table with names events and tick boxes and this works perfectly.
i would like if the tick box is ticked, the name is placed in a second table.
however,it will not place the names, only numbers
this formula does numbers fine, just not names instead it leaves a '0'... could someone please help?
=SUMIF(Events :: D2,TRUE,Events :: C2)
this one leaves a TRUE or FALSE depending if it is ticket or not
=IF(Events :: D2,TRUE,Events :: C2)
Many thanks

Amber,
You seem to have posted nearly identical questions in the Mac iWork discussion and the iPad iWork discussion. In both cases, you are proposing a function that is designed to return a numeric value, a count or a sum, and you are wondering why you don't get a text result.
Take a look at the LOOKUP functions. They will return content such as names, as you are seeking.
What you are looking for is in the "moderate difficulty" realm of Numbers programming. Not simple, but not terribly difficult either.
My solution would be to add one column to the main table for each subtable. i would program each of these subtable-specific new columns to display a sequence number whenever the corresponding event checkbox is TRUE for that row. Then in the "Event 1" subtable, in the row where I want the first name for that event to be transferred from the main table, I would use LOOKUP to find the number "1" in the sequence column for Event 1 in the main table. In the next row, I would return the name with the number "2" in the Event 1 column of the main table, etc.
If this approach sounds like what you are looking for, I'd be happy to work out some formulas for you.

Is there a list of valid system root certificate authorities for a vanilla OSX (Lion, Mountain Lion) installation?

I'm looking for a current list of valid CAs to compare to those in system keychain. thnxs!

You can dump all of the root certificates with:

Here's a script I wrote a while ago as part of an attempt to mitigate CAs that I didn't want to trust...

Hi Vamsee
The table for material related Sales data is MVKE.
If you want to display materials then you may write a select query on MVKE, selecting Sales Organization and Distributuion Channel.
the concatenate mat number (with the leading zeros), Sales Org and Dist Channel into what will be the 'Name'
CALL FUNCTION 'READ_TEXT'
EXPORTING
id = '0001'
language = <language>
NAME = 'Name'
object = 'MVKE'
TABLES
lines = li_lines.
Now read the li_lines table for the Sales Text.

Custom column in a list view web part for a multilingual site does not take on custom language labels. Stays in default language.

Hello all,
I have what so far appears to be a fairly unique problem. We are running a multilingual SharePoint 2010 environment with English as the default language and French as the secondary. We have setup the sites in a variance relationship, but the
issue I am discussing happens outside of a variant as well.
We have created a library outside the variant (but within the collection) that the two sites must share. A list view web part was created via Designer to add to each site to provide a quick view into the list. If we are in the libary and switch
to French, then update the column label it will remember the setting (because of the resource file) and maintain it as the language is flipped back and forth. Where it doesn't work is as a web part in a variant or where the language is different.
If the language is different, the out of the box columns work find, but the custom columns (all site columns not library\list columns) remain as the english label. It doesn't matter if within a variant or outside with the browser language changed.
It always reverts back to English. It's like it isn't using the same resource file that was used in the list itself.
I created a custom view and modified it with xslt as per
http://sharepoint.stackexchange.com/questions/50004/how-to-change-column-title-for-a-view-but-not-modify-the-list but this only worked within the list and did not occur in the list view either.
I can't be the first that has come across it, either I am not performing my searches properly, no one has ever documented a fix for this or this is something we just can't fix with OOTB tools. That's the other thing, the solution has to be accomplised
OOTB or with minor client side changes. I can't fire up Visual Studio because they are piloting Office 365 and have put a "No custom code" mandate on for migration.
Thank you all in advance.

Ok, I have come up with a solution. I edited the XSLT for the web part on the page. I did the following:
1.   Create the variants in the Site Ccollection
2.   Create the library outside of the variants.
3.   Add all the columns you require for the library. It is very important all the columns are there before you move on.
4.   Create a French and English view.
5.   Create the list view web part via designer.
6.   Add the list view web part to each site selecting the appropriate view to use.
7.      Edit the page in SharePoint Designer 2010.
8.      Place cursor in the column you wish to modify.
9.      Click Design in the List View Tools on the ribbon.
10.     Then click Customize XSLT and select Customize Item. Select this option otherwise you will generate a **LOT** of unnecessary XSL code.
11.     You are looking for a piece that resembles the following:
        <xsl:with-param name="fieldtitle">
          <xsl:value-of select="@DisplayName"/>
        </xsl:with-param>
12.      Modify it by typing in the actual column name you want. You should end up with something like this:
        <xsl:with-param name="fieldtitle">
          New Column Name.
        </xsl:with-param>
13.      Now, for this page only, the column will be renamed.
There are some caveats:
1.   Doesn’t appear to work in a publishing portal. I think this has to do with how SP stores the pages in this case. In a publishing portal you can only modify the page layout which won’t work as we need to modify the content.
2.   If you add another column, you will need to repeat the XSLT modification
Anyways, I hope this helps out any others with the same issue or need as I had.
