Mac tip of the week 5/9/07: The smaller PDF Secret Control

The tip of the week has instructions for compressing a PDF file. The compress PDF method mentioned first is fine, However, the instructions for making a filter to do this make no sense at all to me. It says to select Colorsync from the "second presets pop-up menu" when you open the print menu. What is this? Where is this "second presets pop-up menu?" When i open a print window, I get a print window. There's no pop up menu, first or second.
For a Mac tip, this is surely obscure. Does anyone know what Apple is talking about here? Thanks

For some reason when I select 'Add Filters' the dialogue closes and a .pdf is created.
For some reason not working - any ideas as to why this happens?
Thanks

Imported ical from outlook and the date across the top of the weekly view all show the date i imported..

imported ical from outlook and the date across the top of the weekly view all show the date i imported..

I'm confused, what does iCal have to do with this, it seems as though you went from Outlook to Entourage, is that correct?

From where to get "First day of the week" data for all the locales, is it present in CLDR spec 24?

I am trying to get "First day of the week" data from CLDR spec24 but cannot find where to look for it in the spec. I need this data to calculate numeric value of "LOCAL day of the week".
This data to implement "c" and "cc" day formats that equals numeric local day of the week.
e.g if "First day of the week" data for a locale is 2 (Monday) , it means numeric value for local day of the week will be 1 if it is Monday that day, 2 if it is Tuesday that day and likewise.

Hi
If you want to week to be started with Sunday then use the following formula:
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY, 1-DAYOFWEEK(Date'@{var_Date}'), Date'@{var_Date}') if it's retail week(starts from Monday) then the follow below:
TimestampAdd(SQL_TSI_DAY, 1-DAYOFWEEK(Date'@{var_Date}'), Date'@{var_Date}')
I'm assuming var_Date is the presentation variable for prompt...

How do I set the first day of the week as Monday in the iPad calendar?

I must be missing something - simply want Monday to show up first in week view in the iPad calendars. I've seen suggestions of changing from US to UK region settings but I don't want to change formats for numbers, etc globally.
Any ideas?
Thanks!

At the moment I don't think that it's possible apart from via the Region Format which you don't want to change. You can try leaving feedback and maybe it'll get changed in a future release of iOS : http://www.apple.com/feedback/ipad.html

Can the free songs of the week be found on the wifi store?

I am having trouble finding the free songs through the wifi store. Are they not directly available on the touch?

It's not featured or anything like in iTunes, but you can find the free song by searching for it.

Issue with Gregorian Calendar and setting Day of the week

Hi
This may have a simple solution, but its currently got me stumped. Basically, after some calculation I determine the date that a particular event should occur on. These events are listed in a JTable where the column headers are the dates of the beginning of the weeks. In order to place my calculated event in the correct column I create a Gregorian Calendar, set it to the date of the event and then set the day of the week to the beginning of the week. Normally this works fine but for a few instances, rather than getting the date at the beginning of the week, I get the date thats the beginning of the next week.
As a quick example, to kind of illustrate my problem:
I determine that the date of the event is 27/06/2006 which is a Tuesday.
I want this event to appear in the column headed 25/06/2006, the date of the beginning of the week.
In fact it appears in the column headed the 02/07/2006 which is the beginning date of the following week.
Is there anyway to get it so when I set the day to the first day of the week it goes to the beginning of the current week rather than the beginning of the next week?
Any suggestions would be gratefully recieved as I'm currently struggling to think of any.
Thanks

Hi, I dont say Monday is the begining of the week. At least I dont think I do.
As for code I'll post the conversion bit which is:
for (int i = 0; i < areaNameSelectionTable.getRowCount(); i++) {
GregorianCalendar conversionCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
conversionCalendar.setTime((java.util.Date) prioritiesTable.getValueAt(i, 10));
conversionCalendar.set(GregorianCalendar.DAY_OF_WEEK, GregorianCalendar.SUNDAY);
}//end for loopI then create a string from the GregorianCalendar in the format DD/MM/YYYY and compare that with the headers of my table columns (Also dates in the format DD/MM/YYYY) When they match thats the column this particular event should appear in. I can post this code if necessary, but I dont know if its relevant.
Thanks

Report Request - Tickets by day of the week

So there are plenty of reports that show data based on past X days, but as far as I can see, none break it up into by days of the week.
Example, For the last month, how many tickets were closed on Monday, Tuesday, by what Tech, in which Category/Location/Custom attribute.
Could someone better than I make this happen?
This topic first appeared in the Spiceworks Community

I am not sure about your help. Text variable is part of the header of a column and how is it possible to use the text variable as part of the result area. I want the day to be part of the line item in the report.
Appreciate if any one can provide their thoughts and input.

Weekly schedule line should pass to last working day of the week in SAg

HI,
In a scheduling agreement when we have weekly or monthly schedules the system displays the date in the screen as 12/2010 or 13/2010 for say a weekly schedule.
However when the data is stored in the table the delivery date is always the first working day of the week. In this case when the week is 13/2010 the data is stored in the table as 22/03/2010.
Is there any way to change this to the last working day of the week?
We have some config related to define delivery intervals in IMG--> Sales and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Schedules --> Define Delivery Intervals. Will this help solve my issue? If it solves what is the procedure behind this?
Request you to provide your inputs.
Thank You, Lakshmikanth

Hi,
Seems the delivery split concept is different from this requirement. Can Delivery intervals concept help us or not? IMG--> Slaes and Distribution --> Sales --> Sales Documents --> Scheduling Agreements with Delivery Schedules --> Control EDI Inbound Processing --> Define Delivery Intervals.
What is the procedure and assignment details for delivery intervals concept?
Thanks, Lakshmikanth

Is there any way to change the first day of the week back to Monday in iCal for iPhone?

With the new upgrade, iCal in my iphone is now showing Sunday as the first day of the week.
Is there a way to change it back to Monday as the first day of the week?

Hi! The only way I know of is changing the screen resolution. Tom

Is there a way to change the start day for the week?

So I really like the "Insert Categories from the following" functionality of the Reorganize tool, and I fell in love with it's ability to break down by date automagically. I've encountered one problem with my use of it, though: I start my "work week" on Sunday, and it defaults to Monday as the first day of a week without any seeming way to change it to Sunday. Is there a way to do this?

Hi Christopher,
The WEEKDAY function allows specifying either Sunday or Monday as the first day of the week:
WEEKDAY
The WEEKDAY function returns a number that is the day of the week for a given date. WEEKDAY(date, first-day)
Â date: The date the function should use. date is a date/time value. The time portion is ignored by this function.
Â first-day: An optional value that specifies how days are numbered.
Sunday is 1 (1 or omitted): Sunday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Saturday is day 7.
Monday is 1 (2): Monday is the first day (day 1) of the week and Sunday is day 7. Monday is 0 (3): Monday is the first day (day 0) of the week and Sunday is day 6.
But I think you are referring to the first day of the 'workweek', for which I do not see a means of defining a custom value.
Since you want to 'insert categories', though, you could easily define your own, using WEEKDAY(date) or WEEKDAY(date,1), plus an IF statement to return the category label appropriate to the day. Here's one for a Sunday to Thursday work week. Dates are in column A, the formula is in whichever column you want as the Category column. For the example, I've placed it in column B.
B2, and filled down: =IF(WEEKDAY(A)<6,"Work","Off")
The top table shows the weekday numbers returned for each day of the week for each of the three permitted values for the optional second argument. The bottom table shows the results from the formula above, used to define a category label for each date:
A10 was left blank intentionally, to determine if the lack of data resulted in an error. The Warning message, flagged by the blue 'warning' triangle, is "The formula uses a number in place of a date." The 'date' assigned to this numerical value of zero was a Friday, but I'm not certain when. Probably best to avoid extra rows with no date shown.

Barry

After iOS 5 upgrade, my calendar starts on the wrong day of the week

I've upgraded my iPhone to iOS 5. My region is still selected as Australia, but Sunday is showing up as the first day of the week now.
I have not yet upgraded my iPad. It shows Australia as the region format and is correctly displaying Monday as the first day of the week.
So it appears that the iOS 5 update changes some details of the Australia region format. Does anyone know of a way to manually select the first day of the week? Thanks.

I can confirm that the start day of the week is determined by the Region Format setting (insanely). My girlfriend is still on iOS 4.3.5 and has a Region Format of Australia, and has the week starting on Monday. Apple must have changed it to Sunday in iOS 5.
The best workaround country I've found so far is Namibia!
Tap on Settings > General > International. change Region Format to Namibia.
Different regions affect different things. If you choose UK, you get the week starting on Monday, but the clock changes to 24 hr and the phone numbers format the UK way.
The only downside of Namibia so far is that you no longer get ".au" as an option if you're typing a web address and you hold down the ".com" button on the keyboard.
Apple needs to add a "First Day of Week" option in the Calender preferences, like they have in the iCloud Calendar preferences and iCal preferences (which are both ignored on the iPhone and iPad!).
Even Americans are complaining about this. It must be the easiest fix in the world, yet they still haven't done it.

How to return the week number starting from Sunday as the first day

Hi Friends,
My application needs to have a report for the weekly totals and must have the Sunday as the first day for the week. For example, January of 2005 should be in the report for having six weeks, Jan 1 is Saturday, this is week 1, Week 2 is from 2 to 8, and the last week , week 6 has 30 and 31. Days need not be displayed, only the week number as follows:
Week Number Total Sales
=========== =========
Week 1 8,525
Week 2 8,168
Week 3
Week 4
Week 5
Week 6
The discoverer hierarchies function for week (eul_date_trunc(item_date, '"W"W')) seems to start the week from the first day of the month regardless of the day. Oracle function TO_CHAR(item_date, 'W') does the same thing, .As the result, the January of 2005 has only 5 weeks.
Any help or advice for this issue will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you very much,
J.K

Try this
---------------------------------------------actual formula---------------
select ceil(
( to_number(to_char(to_date('1-'||to_char(sysdate,'MON-YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY'),'D')) -1
+ to_number(to_char(sysdate,'DD'))
) / 7
week_number
from dual
e.g try different dates below by replacing 31-Jan-2005
select ceil(
( to_number(to_char(to_date('1-'||to_char(to_date('31-JAN-2005'),'MON-YYYY'),'DD-MON-YYYY'),'D') ) -1
+ to_number(to_char(to_date('31-JAN-2005'),'DD'))
) / 7
week_number
from dual
How does it work
week number is calculated by dividing the current day number by number of days
so in your case if the week starts at a different day , you just add the offset and divide by 7
In the first part, i am finding the week day number for the 1st day of the current month and this is used as offset.
Hope this helps

OLAP time dimension - how are the weeks allocated

Could someone please help me understand what logic Oracle uses when one makes use of Oracles OLAP time dimension based on weeks.
I am use Oracle OLAP 11.2
I have a Time dimension that has the following hierarchy:-
YEAR
QUARTER
MONTH
WEEK
For calculating the weeks ID I make use ISO week and year i.e. IYYYIW
For calculating the end date I use the following:- NEXT_DAY( l_date, 'MON' ) -1
i.e. the weeks end date is the Sunday.
According to me this is the required result.
Problem is that for some months there are 3 weeks allocated which makes no sense to me.
I cannot understand the logic used in allocating the weeks.
The following is an example:-
the following weeks were allocated to the month February
201306 (end date= 10-2-2013)
201307 (end date= 17-2-2013)
201308 (end date= 24-2-2013)
but the following week was allocated to January which makes no sence to me,
I would have expected it to be found in February
201305 (end date= 3-2-2013)
Week 201309 (end date= 3-3-2013) was allocated to March which according to me is correct..
Another example is week *201030 (end date= 1-8-2010)* that is allocated to July while I would have expected that it should be August.
I would have thought that it uses the end date that is placed in the mapping to determine the month to place it in.
Could some one please explain what the reason for this could be.

Oracle OLAP model/design (in this case, at least) cannot compensate to coverup existing flaws in the relational model/design.
I dont think this is a valid hierarchy even considering relational model/design.
Weeks do not fit in below Months (calendar months).
You can force fit them by making Weeks the source of truth and making all Months logical Months like "Business Month", "Business Quarter", "Business Year" etc. which will be composed of whole weeks but differ significantly from the calendar definition of Month, Quarter, Year etc.
You are better off modeling time as composed of two hierarchies:
H1: DAY -> MONTH -> QUARTER -> YEAR and
H2: DAY -> WEEK
Alternately if you dont want to introduce DAY level (lower granularity), you can split up the Time dimension into 2 different dimensions. And also modify your star schema to add an additional time dimension key to fact table - one key pointing to WEEK and another pointing to MONTH (independently).
TIME_MO: MONTH -> QUARTER -> YEAR
TIME_WK: WEEK
The fact data will need to be split up to correctly identify the coirrect MONTH-WEEK combination for the relational record.
E.g:
Fact table should have 2 dimension Fks for WK_KEY as well as MO_KEY so that a fact figure of 1000 evaluated over 7 days is split up into 300 from 29-31st of previous month and attached to MO_KEY of previous month and another record of 700 covering days from 1-4 and recorded/tied to same WK_KEY but next month (next month's MO_KEY).
