Merge Cells in Webi

Dear experts,
I have a cross tab report with the following colums (two lines in the header):
Country | 2008 | 2010 | 2010 | 2010 |
Jan
Feb
Mar
Is it possible to have the cells with year "2010" merged having:
Country | 2008 | 2010 |
Jan
Feb
Mar
The months in year 2010 are dynamic, wich means the report will only show the months selected in the prompt variable.
Thank you!
My kind regards,
Inê

Hey Inês,
Need clarity:
Per my understanding:
Add Row above on that header part and add object and apply Break and do merging cells.
So that you can see only one year, 2010 for all Months.
Below this add Month object.
Hope you got it.
Gracias...!!

Code for merging cells

what is the code for merging cells ? to create a shortcut ?

"Merging cells" usually means combining two cells so they are one. The screenshot below shows cells B2 and C2 merged. There is no "code" to do it. Select the two cells, right click, choose "merge cells".
But if you meant how do you take the values from two cells and concatenate them together, you can use the & operator or the CONCATENATE function. The formula in cell D3 is shown in the formula bar in the image below.
A "shortcut" usually means a "keyboard shortcut" which is the assignment of a key (or combination of keys) to a menu item. For instance, Command S is the shortcut for File/Save or File/Save As. You can assign shortcuts to menu items by opening up System Preferences and going to the Keyboard section.
But if you meant "hyperlink" such as to a web page, you can use the HYPERLINK function or just type in the link and et Numbers automatically detect it as a link.

Excel export are merging cells for data on multiple lines !

Hello,
I'm using Crystal Report XI R2, when we are doing an export to Excel with have an unexpected formatting.
For example the value of the name is on 2 lines:
=> So, on Excel the result is on 2 lines but merged. We want to have this result only on one cells.
Remark: if we delete the 2nd lines, because cells are merged we obtain the expected result.
Proposal A:
Are they any set-up available concerning the formatting of Excel ?
Proposal B:
Could we run some VBA when we click on Export button to make queries on the Excel ?

When they introduced Unicode support in Crystal 9 (I believe), they had to completely re-write the export routines. At that time, they made a decision to change the functionality of the excel export. Crystal is attempting to remain absolutely faithful to the graphical layout of the report as you see it in the viewer. So it creates merged cell sections, empty columns between columns, and empty rows to give you as close to exactly what you see in the viewer as possible. Unfortunately, the result is typically less than useful. Iu2019ve had several conversations with Business Objects (now SAP) with regards to this when they changed it between versions 8.5 and 10, and they have no intention of changing the functionality as it now exists.
There is a document which is now likely somewhere on the SAP portal that explains what you need to do to obtain the best results when exporting to excel.
The jist of it is this:
Line up all of the columns detail data with thier headers, and make sure that data fields are the same size as thier headers.
Line up all rows (headers and detail rows). (ie: select everything in the row, right click, align tops, and make the same height)
cram everything as close together as possible. zero space in the report translates to zero extra collumns and rows in the export.
the other option is to use the export to data only functionality, but that may not be what you're looking for either.

Excel Merge Cells.vi throws an undefined error in Excel 2013?

Basically, I can't write text into an Excel spreadshoot using the Report Generation tools.
Using LabVIEW 2013 (SP1) I am writing to individual cells in an Excel (2013) template.
The error is coming from the Report Generation Toolkit>Excel Specific>Excel Easy Text.vi.>Excel Merge Cells.vi.
Inside of the "Excel Merge Cells.vi" is an "Invoke Node.Range". When the program hits this point, it throws out an undefined error.
My code has been running on multiple platforms in multiple programs with no problems using Office 2010.
NASA upgraded our Office Suit to 2013. I am now throwing an undefined error ( -2146827284).
I've got a service request in and have talked to an engineer. THey are looking at the problem. However, I thought I would throw it out here and see if anyone had seen this particular problem.
Bryan Alexander

Problem found, workaround implemented.
When you use the "New Report.vi", you have to wire in one of four choices for the state of the window. "Maximized", "Minimized", "Normal" and "No Change". If you use the "Excel Easy Text.vi" to insert data into an Excel 2013 Spreadsheet, it will generate an error if you opened the Excel file in "Minimized" mode. The other three states work fine.

Hiding the blank cells in Webi report - BO 4.0

Hi,
I have created a webi report in which i have used different types of blocks
1) Form table
2) Verticle table
3) Horizontal table.
so now in real time there chances that some of the blocks will not have any data.(i.e it displays blank cell) in the report.
so now i have to hide only the blank cells and not the table headers.that means though the cells are blank i have to display headers.
what formatting changes i need to achieve this in Webi Report.
If anybody does this please let me know the step by step logic in detail.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Naga Nanda Kishore.

Hi,
We cannot hide specifc cells in WebI, however we can choose to whether to display or not empty measure values and empty dimension value.
So you need to select the desired block-> Right Click and Select Format Table-> Uncheck Show rows with empty dimension values or Show rows with empty measure values whichever is required to be hidden.
Hope this helps.

Manpreet

Smartview 11.1.2.1.103 problem: Merged cell in HFM workspace is unmerged in smartview

I have an error here in smartview 11.1.2.1.103. In HFM workspace, the form I designed has merged cell in row1. But I open the same form in smartview, row1 is not longer merged. Does anyone have the same problem?
PS: I've already set the option: excel formatting in smartview.

Hi,
thanks for your answers. From all I could find out from Oracle support, I'll have to wait until 11.1.2.1 is GA and then try again :-(
Or will there be a patch for 11.1.2.0 as well?
Best regards,
Markus

Takes a Long time to merge cells

Why does it take me forever to merge 4 cells in a table that
has over 100 rows. Is there anything that I can do to speed up the
process?

Never merge cells? I rarely do this (of course I rarely use
tables, too) -
instead, I will stack tables vertically when I need a new
cell
configuration.

Is there a way of merging cells (not columns) in a Flex Datagrid?

Hello everyone!
I'm new to Flex and I have been searching for a solution to this problem for two days now, so any help would be really appreciated!
I have a datagrid of, lets say x columns of fixed size, with the ability to add or remove rows dynamically. When adding a row o popup comes up and lets the user determine the positions(order) and widths of the desired cells of the row. So what I want to do is to be able to merge cells of the new Datagrid row appropriately, to satisfy the user's choices. Thats the general idea.
Is there a way to have a Datagrid (or other similar component) with different cell number and widths for each row in Flex? I need a component similar to the Datagrid because I want to be able to select rows and process their data.
Any idea would be very helpful as I'm pressed for time and I could use someone's experience to search in the right direction and not loose time.
Thanks in advance!

Thank you very much for your response. I finally did what I wanted without using a Datagrid. I used a Table Flex Component (which extends Flex Grid) that I found here:
http://code.google.com/p/flex-table/#Demo
I downloaded the source and changed some things to make it work as I need.

[CS3/CS4 JS] How can you get the associatedXMLElement of a merged cell in a table?

Hi!
Inserting a table, and autotagging it, I get a table with a number of cell elements in the XML Structure.
Selecting an item in the table, I can find the associated XML by the following line of code:
app.selection[0].associatedXMLElement
My problems begin when cells are merged. Then the associatedXMLElement for the cell returns null.
How can I find the associatedXMLElement for a merged cell?
Using the getElements makes no difference.
app.selection[0].getElements()[0].associatedXMLElement
(returns null)
In the XML structure I can see that the merged cell is still associated to an XML Element, which becomes underlined and also referrs back to the cell, selecting it when double clicking the XML Element link in the structure.
Is there no way to get to the xml element of a merged cell?
I have tested in CS3 and CS4 as well, and they act in the same way.
I also found a similar, unanswered, question from Anne-Laure Jallon in the "With CS3, some things have changed" ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/1105813#1105813 ):
Hello,
I'm working with VBscript.
Is there a difference between cell.associatedXmlElement in CS2 and CS3?
All my cells in CS2 had an associatedXmlElement.
In CS3, my table has an associatedXmlElement, but all its cells don't (The value is Nothing)
Is this a bug? Is it linked with XML evolution?   Thanks Anne Laure
Adding some more info:
I made a test, by selecting the XMLElement in the structure, and from that object finding the cell, and finding back to the assiciatedXMLElement:
app.selection[0].getElements()[0].cells[0].associatedXMLElement
Result: [object XMLElement]
So that kind of "chain" works.
But with the merged cell as only reference, I can't find its associatedXMLElement. Any ideas would be appreciated.
Best regards,
Andreas Jansson

In my opinion, locate a cell according to his content is not so effortable. What happens if contents of more than two cells are equals?
I take xml elements of associated xml element of table and put them into an array.
This array contains associated xml elements of every cell ordered by cell positions into table.
Now, locate associated xml element of a cell based on its array position (index) is more reliable:
var myCell_cell = app.selection[0];
var myElement = myCell.associateXMLElement
if (!myElement || !myElement.isValid) {
     var table = myCell.parent;
     var xml_tab = table.associatedXMLElement;
     var xml_cells_arr = xml_tab.xmlElements.everyItem().getElements();
     var idx = myCell.index;
     myElement = xml_cells_arr[idx];

I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, columns and tabs make many merged cells and many blank columns. In addition to not separate the columns correctly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I'm even thinking that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has limitations. There is no way to define what points in columns to force break column? Nor create many columns that are useless? How does text to column in Excel, fixed size when we import text, and define where the breaks have columns?

PDF does not contain columns, rows, formats, styles, or other aspects of word processing or spreadsheet file formats.
This is because PDF is decidedly not a word processing or spreadsheet file format or something "like" one of those.
(see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")
What can optimize the export of PDF page content is to start with a well-formed tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant).
Without that export is what it is and one performs whatever content cleanup is needed using the native application for the export file (MS Word or Excel).
Be well...

[CS2/CS3 JS] Merged Cell Problem...

Hi,
Below is a part of my script that has been giving me a problem with merged cells:
if (myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeWeight > 0.5) {
myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeWeight = 2;
myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeType = "Thick - Thick";}
Everytime the script passes on a merged cell, it quits and it only do changes on the first cell of the merged cells. Once I run my script again, it quits with error because the first cell of the merged cells now has a different stroke weight than the rest of the merged cells.
Is there a way to apply stroke on merged cells? And what is the parameter for UNMERGE? Thanks.

Hi Joaquin,
Here are a few examples – hope it helps.
Kasyan
// lets assume myTable has 4 rows and 4 columns
myTable = app.activeDocument.stories[0].tables[0];
myStartCell = myTable.cells.item("0:0"); // cell in the 1st column and 1st row
myEndCell = myTable.cells.item("0:3"); // cell in the 1st column and 4th row
myStartCell.merge(myEndCell);
// now merged cells have become the cell in the 1st column and 1st row
myMergedCell = myTable.cells.item("0:0");
myMergedCell.unmerge();
// merge/unmerge the last row
myTable.cells.item("0:3").merge(myTable.rows.item(-1));
myTable.cells.item("0:3").unmerge();
// merge/unmerge the last column
myTable.columns.item(-1).cells.item(0).merge(myTable.columns.item(-1).cells.item(-1));
myTable.columns.item(-1).cells.item(0).unmerge();

Merge cells in a column that looks like in an excel file?

Hello,
I have a file. xls shown in the image below, this file is automatically generated by script, I want to merge cells that I colored myself just to show you but in reality they are not colored, so i want to merge the cells that contain the same value, for example, the first cell FRS and the second cell FRS, i want to merge and write once FRS and the same for the other line of this column, knowing that this file is not fixed, it is possible that its contents change, then we can not fix the cells to merge.
thank you for your help

I would like to understand how merging cells works

I am trying to reduce nine fields, into three, but can't understand how merging cells works. Because sometimes it will allow me to merge cells, and at other times the word merge is greyed out
Regards Lee

The User Guide, which you can download using the link in the Help menu, explains merging cells pretty clearly.
I suspect the relevant line to your problem is:
"The group of cells you choose must form a rectangle, and they must be all body cells, all header cells, or all footer cells."
The merge option is probably greyed out because your selection includes both header and body cells.
I think there is a general feeling among users that merging cells should be avoided because it breaks some operations like sorting tables.
