Maintaining Cell Style with data update

Having a difficult time trying to maintaining the styles and characteristics (built in ID) of a table from Excel when we update the link to refresh the data. I have read old threads and went through the proper process of creating; Character, then Paragraph, then Cell Styles, then a Table style but no luck with the Table style. (Like the example in the video; which I agree don't believe it fully works) But even just using Cell Styles, the data, when updated, is reverted back to it's original plain input and you manually have to apply the Cell Styles.
How can I prevent having to manually do that process/ get the Table Style to work? Is there a setting or check box that need to be checked when importing the data or relinking/updating the file? Please help....using CS3.
thanks,
Ed

What options are you using when Placing the file? From Help http://help.adobe.com/en_US/InDesign/6.0/WSa285fff53dea4f8617383751001ea8cb3f-6f41a.html:
Formatted Table
InDesign tries to preserve the same formatting used in Excel, although the formatting of text within each cell may not be preserved. If the spreadsheet is linked rather than embedded, updating the link will override any formatting applied to the table in InDesign.
Unformatted Table
The table is imported without any formatting from the spreadsheet. When this option is selected, you can apply a table style to the imported table. If you format text using paragraph and characters styles, the formatting is preserved even if you update the link to the spreadsheet.
Unformatted Tabbed Text
The table is imported as tab-delimited text, which you can then convert to a table in InDesign or InCopy.
Formatted Only Once
InDesign preserves the same formatting used in Excel during the initial import. If the spreadsheet is linked rather than embedded, formatting changes made to the spreadsheet are ignored in the linked table when you update the link. This option isn’t available in InCopy.
I never use linked Excel files, but it looks to me like you should be using the second option: Unformatted Table.

Cell Styles with a script

Is there anyway to style table cells with a script, I can't fine any answers, all I'm after is to add a one cell style to the header row, then a different cell style to the rest of the table?
is it even possible, any pointer would be great?
Many thanks!

Hi Harbs
Thanks for your reply, I am new to this, and am finding it hard, if you have any example scripts I can have a look at that would be great.
Many thanks,

Report generated through BIP Server not in sync with data updated in DB

Hi,
We have an issue where the BIP report show up the old value instead of the latest updated & commited value done from Application(ADF) on the same session or transaction.
Does BIP have any caching mechanism implemented internally for a user context?
Detailed Explanation :
After verifying several scenarios, following are the scenarios which reproduced the cache issue in our application:
Case -1:
1) Logged in as user "User1".
2) Navigated to page where we can update data and we have option to print/generate the report.
3) Now made some updates in the page and saved it.
4) Now generate the report, report is generated with the updated information.
5) Now close the report generated and update the page with some other modifications and save it.
6) Now generate the report, but the report doesn't have the updated info.
Case-2:
1) Logged in as user "User2".
2) Navigated to page where we can update data and we have option to print/generate the report.
3) Generate the print profile report, you see the changes made above with "User1" login.
4) Now close the report generated and update the page with some more modifications and save it.
5) Now generate the report, but the report doesn't have the updated info.
Seems like, the request sent to BIP server is being cached at BIP server with its response considering the key with following format:
<Login User-id> + <Request Parameters> .
We are thinking this way because, in both Case-1 and Case-2, if we are modifying the request parameters values (fields to be shown in the generated report) uniquely for each new request,
then we are seeing the changes updated in DB are present in the report generated.
Can someone give inputs, how to overcome this issue?
Thanks,
Kiran Kumar

if you are using the cold backup to create the standby database, Check that have you followed the following steps or not.
1. remove
all the datafiles and controlfiles from the standby database.
2. Create a new standby controlfile of the production for standby using the following cmd
'alter database create standby controlfile as 'Location';'
3. move the new controlfile to standby database server location as specified in initialization parameter file.
4. Restore all the datafiles to its appropriate loaction which was taken through cold backup.
5. startup nomount
6. alter database mount standby database;
7. recover standby database.
scp the archive log sequence that is asked by the database, from production.
You can try this steps.

Thank you.

Put the button click into an action listener and build the new frame there. The code I have below isn't exactly what you're doing (it's amazingly oversimplified), but it's probably similar enough to get your wheels turning in the right direction.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class sample
     public static void main(String[] args)
          JFrame frame = new JFrame("Sample");
          frame.setSize(400,400);
          Container content = frame.getContentPane();
          content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
          final JTextField text = new JTextField(10);
          content.add(text);
          JButton button = new JButton("Send");
          content.add(button);
          frame.setVisible(true);
          button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
               public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
                    JFrame myframe = new JFrame("Results");
                    myframe.setSize(200,200);
                    Container mycontent = myframe.getContentPane();
                    mycontent.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
                    String mytext = text.getText();
                    JLabel label = new JLabel();
                    label.setText(String.valueOf(mytext));
                    mycontent.add(label);
                    myframe.setVisible(true);

Merge 2 rows into single row with data update?

hello all,
i have a table with below data,
declare @tbl table (uid int, uname varchar(10), start_dt date, end_dt date)
insert into @tbl values (1, 'env1', '4/4/2010', '5/5/2012')
insert into @tbl values (2, 'env2', '5/4/2010', '6/6/2012')
--earlier start data is '4/4/2010' from 'env1'
--latest end data is '6/6/2012' from 'env2'
insert into @tbl values (3, 'env1', '3/3/2010', '4/4/2012')
insert into @tbl values (4, 'env2', '2/2/2010', '5/5/2012')
--earlier start data is '2/2/2010' from 'env2'
--latest end data is '5/5/2012' from 'env2'
insert into @tbl values (5, 'env1', '8/8/2010', '12/12/2012')
insert into @tbl values (6, 'env2', '9/9/2010', '10/10/2012')
--earlier start data is '8/8/2010' from 'env1'
--latest end data is '12/12/2012' from 'env1'insert into @tbl values (6, 'envX', '9/9/2010', '10/10/2012')insert into @tbl values (6, 'envY', '9/9/2010', '10/10/2012')
i need to merge 2 rows for column "uname" having value "env1" & "env2" to "envZ" and need to capture earlier start date and latest end date from both and update with new.
the desire output should be,
declare @tbl table (uid int, uname varchar(10), start_dt date, end_dt date)
insert into @tbl values (1, 'envZ', '4/4/2010', '6/6/2012')
insert into @tbl values (4, 'envZ', '2/2/2010', '5/5/2012')
insert into @tbl values (5, 'envZ', '8/8/2010', '12/12/2012')
insert into @tbl values (6, 'envX', '9/9/2010', '10/10/2012')
insert into @tbl values (6, 'envY', '9/9/2010', '10/10/2012')
note - i must need to update one row and delete other row as i can't insert new rows (having huge data with other columns also).
please suggest optimize query. thanks!

Which version and edition of SQL Server are you using?
Whenever there is a row with 'env1', there is a corresponding 'env2' and vice versa?
The row with 'env2' is always after the row with 'env1'? (uid+1)
If the answers are yes to both questions above, here's a possibility:
-- code #1 v3
;with
ENVZ as (
SELECT uid= case when T1.start_dt <= T2.start_dt then T1.uid else T2.uid end,
start_dt= case when T1.start_dt <= T2.start_dt then T1.start_dt else T2.start_dt end,
end_dt= case when T1.end_dt > T2.end_dt then T1.end_dt else T2.end_dt end
from @tbl as T1
inner join @tbl as T2 on T2.uid=T1.uid+1 and T2.uname='env2'
where T1.uname = 'env1'
MERGE
into @tbl as T3
using ENVZ as T4
on T3.uid = T4.uid
when matched and (T3.uname in ('env1','env2')) then
UPDATE set T3.uname= 'envZ',
T3.start_dt= T4.start_dt,
T3.end_dt= T4.end_dt
when not matched by source and (T3.uname in ('env1','env2')) then
DELETE;
The table @tbl is read three times in the above code. There are probably ways to optimize the above code. Or even other more efficient approach.

Issue with cell styles in Smart View 11.1.2.1

Hi,
I've got a strange issue in Smartview 11.1.2.1 : when I open a data form (Hyperion Planning connection), my data form does not have colors. All the entire sheet is in Black&White, so I can not see Locked/Read-Only/Writable (...) cells !
When I go to Options => Cell Styles, I do not see all the color-coding that is normally purposed by default with Hyperion Planning connection.
Something strange : when I connect to Smartview on other computer, it works ! For information, we use Citrix to connect to Smartview.
Do you have an idea ?
Thanks.
Virgile.

Hello
I have played around and found the following
1. if you untick 'Use Excel Formatting' in the Formatting tab - cell styles work
2. If you tick Use Excel Formatting- cell styles have no effect
You cannot use Cell Styels and use excel formatting together - either the one or the other
By ticking 'Retain Numeric Formatting' under Formatting combined with Cell Styles is a workable option
Thanx

When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages. When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates.

When I try to open a Pages document from iCloud, created on my iPad, I get message stating I need a newer version of Pages. When I go to app store all I get is "installed" when looking at pages app. my Macbook pro is up to date with all updates. Any ideas?

You have 2 versions of Pages on your Mac.
Pages 5 is in your Applications folder.
Pages '09/'08 is in your Applications/iWork folder.
You are alternately opening the wrong versions.
Pages '09/'08 can not open Pages 5 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5/5.01 can not open Pages 5.1 files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5.1 sometimes can not open its own files and you will get the warning that you need a newer version.
Pages 5 can open Pages '09 files but may damage/alter them. It can not open Pages '08 files at all.
Once opened and saved in Pages 5 the Pages '09 files can not be opened in Pages '09.
Anything that is saved to iCloud is also converted to Pages 5 files.
All Pages files no matter what version and incompatibility have the same extension .pages.
Pages 5 files are now only compatible with themselves on a very restricted set of hardware, software and Operating Systems and will not transfer correctly on any other server software than iCloud.
Apple has not only managed to confuse all its users, but also itself.
Note: Apple has removed over 100 features from Pages 5 and added many bugs:

Archive/trash Pages 5, after exporting all Pages 5 files to Pages '09 or Word .docx, and rate/review it in the App Store, then get back to work.

Update to what? The 3G you want to update? You have ios3 or 4 on that 3G?
Go to a friend, authorize that pc.

Make a backup of your stuff (from the phone. apps/photos/music/blabla). Update your phone. The phone will restore the backup automatically.

I have Microsoft Office 2004 on my MacBook (2.4 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo). It is currently up to date with Microsoft updates. I am running Mac OS 10.6.8. I just updated my Mac software with "Security Update 2012-001". I am now unable to print (Epson NX510 printer) from Excel or Word. When I click on the Print menu item in Excel, there is a flash in the background like it is trying to open the print window, but nothing else. I am able to print from other programs like TextEdit, Mail or KakeidaGraph. As far as I know I have the latest Epson print driver.
Also, I am also unable to open an existing Excel or Word file from the open menu - both programs lock up and do not respond. I have to force quit. After I restart Excel or Word I can open an existing file by double clicking on the file, but if I again try to open another file from the open menu, Excel or Word lock up.
Any similar problems?

Howdy,
Apparently some are reporting that this causes the older PowerPC (PPC) applications that are supported in 10.6 via 'Rosetta' to crash upon attempting to open/save/print using any dialog box, or fail in other similar ways such as simply not printing or quitting, or freezing/hanging/crashing of the application.
I have read of some companies that have indeed submitted proper bug reports to Apple, but that is not a guarantee of a bug-fix being issued.
You might wish to read:
http://www.macintouch.com/readerreports/snowleopard/index.html#d02feb2012
If you are unsure if you are still using PowerPC apps, if the application is currently running, look under the 'Activity Monitior' (in Applications -> Utilities), or alternatively you could check in the System Profiler, Applications. Check the column "Type".
Here is a fairly simple way you can restore you system and restore you applications functionality again, if you don't have a recent clone or good Time Machine backup that you can restore from. If you do, restore from your backup prior to having installed the Security Update 2012-001.
Time Machine restore: http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1427
If you are restoring a backup made by a Mac to the same Mac
With your backup drive connected, start up your Mac from the Lion recovery partition (Command-R at startup) or Mac OS X v10.6 installation disc. Then use the "Restore From Time Machine Backup" utility. Select the backup prior to your issues, and it will be restored back to the state it was in at that time.
If you can't easily restore from a backup, you can instead do the following:
- You first start by reinstalling your OS X 10.6.x, this will preserve all your user data, your applications, no worries there.
- Then install the Mac OS X 10.6.8 Update Combo v1.1 (links provided below)
- Make sure you're printers are showing up correctly in your system preferences, if not, re-add the printers
- Then finally, run the Apple Software Update (by pulling down the Apple Menu), and install any and all remaining updates, except do not then re-install the Security Update 2012-001. It is possible that you may have to reboot after installing some of the updates, and you may even need to run it a 2nd time to make sure that you've got all updates, except NOT the Security Update 2012-001.

Insert OR Update with Data Loader?

Hello,
can i Insert OR Update at same time with Data Loader?
How can i do this?
Thanks.

The GUI loader wizard does allow for this including automatically adding values to the PICKLIST fields.
However, if you mean the command line bulk loader, the answer is no. And to compound the problem, the command line version will actually create duplicates for some of the objects. It appears that the "External Unique Id" is not really "unique" (as in constrained via unique index) for some of the objects. So be very careful when you prototype something with the GUI loader and then reuse the map on the command line version.
You will find that some objects can work well with the command line loader (some objects will not).
Works well (just a few examples):
Account (assuming your NAME,LOCATION fields are unique).
Financial Product
Financial Account
Financial Transaction
Will definitely create duplicates via command line bulk loader:
Contact
Asset
Also be aware that you might hear that during a go-live that Oracle will remove the 30k record limit on bulks loads (temporarily). I have not had any luck with Oracle Support making that change (2 clients specifically in the last 12 months).

Error handling for master data with direct update

Hi guys,
For master data with flexible update, error handling can be defined in InfoPackege, and if the load is performed via PSA there are several options - clear so far. But what about direct update...
But my specific question is: If an erroneous record (e.g invalid characters) occur in a master data load using direct update, this will set the request to red. But what does this mean in terms of what happens to the other records of the request (which are correct) are they written to the master data tables, so that they can be present once the masterdata is activated, or are nothing written to masterdata tables if a single record is erroneous???
Many thanks,
/ Christian

Hi Christian -
Difference between flexible upload & Direct upload is that direct upload does not have Update Rules, direct upload will have PSA as usual & you can do testing in PSA.
second part when you load master data - if error occurs all the records for that request no will be status error so activation will not have any impact on it i.e. no new records from failed load will be available.
hope it helps
regards
Vikash

Updated as new installation 613 to 616 iphone 3GS, the 613 backup is nolonger listed, and all data gone. Anyway to restore 613 with data and update keeping data?

I chose new installation instead of update from 613 to 616. The new installation is missing all the data, and app data, notes, etc. The previous backup is nolonger listed, only new one for 616, anyway to restore 613 with data?

A backup was listed for earlier today, I did a backup before new installation. Once new installation, it did an auto backup of new installation, and only this one is listed.
This matches documentation, it says cannot restore to earlier version from itunes. Do I have to do a restore factory settings to see previous version backup, and restore this earlier version?

Has anyone else had a problem with data? after updating my phone to the new update, i have all this data, and keep getting notifications that my data is getting high. i never had this problem before.

fair enough. No need for any unnecessary posts either. You issue had been addressed ad nauseum already in this forum had you bothered to search this forum (as forum etiquette would dictate) before posting.
In any case, I hope that your problem was solved.

Preview breaks pdf with data entry cells?

Hi,
Here's the gist of the trouble:
I created a simple invoice in acrobat with data entry cells for the user to enter hours worked, description of work, etc. It works fine in acrobat.
If I open it in Preview two things seem to happen:
1. closing the document saves it without me being prompted
2. the data entry cells are mucked up - data is in the cells but can't be seen unless I click on the cell. If I click away from that cell the data dissappears behind a blue highlight of the cell (the same blue highlight I see in Preview). I am able to 'bring the data back' by selecting the data, cmd-x, click to another cell, click back to original cell, cmd-v. It don't make no darned sense I tell ya!
So, why is Preview saving my data without asking me? What's going on there?
Why is Preview breaking the data entry cells?
Any ideas?
Cheers, Mike
Lion.2

This is the work around that I got from the Apple iWork Team; they are working on solving the problem:
"Unfortunately, Numbers can enter a bad state. We are investigating a fix. In the meantime:
To avoid this bad state, please do not exit Numbers with a file open. Always:
1. Tap the "My Spreadsheets" button to close the file.
2. Then exit Numbers."
So far, following this procedure, I have encountered no problems. If Numbers is in this "bad state," you can return it to a normal condition by either double tapping the spreadsheet name which will put you into edit mode, then tap the spreadsheet to exit. Also, you can tap the arrow in the upper right corner to enter read mode, then tap the spreadsheet to exit. Hope this helps.

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?

With 10.7.2 update iCal does not allow you to set "Reminders" by draging events from "All Day Events" into "Reminders" is there another way to do this instead of having to type out the entire reminder with date, time, and type?
With Lion 10.7.1. you where able to drag events from "All Day Events" into the "Reminders" bar to create upcoming reminders.

Exactly the same question I was about to post!
Great being able to sync reminders (well overdue) however if I have to re-type a calener envent into reminders it's a waste of time!!
Come on Apple!!
Just need an option for the calender event to add to reminder or the old drag to add to reminder functionality back, Please???
