Merging Cells in Custom Section

Is it possible to merge cells in Custom Sections similar to the merge cells functionality in Excel where you can merge 2 cells into 1 cell?

There is currently no way to merge cells with custom sections.

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Is there a recommended limit on the number of custom sections and the cells per table so that there are no performance issues with the UI?

Thanks Kelly,
The answers would be the following:
1200 cells per custom section (NEW COUNT), and up to 30 custom sections per spec.
Assuming all will be populated, and this would apply to all final material specs in the system which could be ~25% of all material specs.
The cells will be numeric, free text, drop downs, and some calculated numeric.
Are we reaching the limits for UI performance?
Thanks

Custom keyboard shortcut to merge cells in Numbers?

How do I create custom keyboard shortcut to merge cells in Numbers? The instructions on the support site say to open Keyboard in preferences then click the +. I don't see a plus anywhere. On any menu.

The Merge Cell command does not have a keyboard short cut. You can, however, add one to your user space as follows:
Open System Preferences, then select the keyboard panel:
On the left click the "Application Shortcut" then on the right select Numbers. now click the "+"
Now enter the exact name of the menu item "Merge Cells" (by looking up the name of the menu item in the menus of Numbers), then selec the "Keyboard Shortcut" field and type the exact key combination you want to use. Be sure it is unique from other Numbers key combination.

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.

How to merge cells in report designer

Hello BW Experts,
How to merge cells in report designer.
Thanks in advance
BWer

Hi BWer,
I had to check for some details from Development.
You also need to have FEP 14 for the BI 7.x tools on SAP GUI 6.40, which was just released on Friday. You can find it at service.sap.com/swdc. In the format menu, you will now see a "Link Cells" option.
With the link cells option, you cannot merge across row patterns. That means that you will probably have to make some changes to your report before you can merge the cells, based on what you described.
I imagine that you started out with a report section something like the following (dashes added for formatting purposes):
G0 Header ...
G1 Header -
Controlling Area
Detail -
Func Area
And then moved controlling area to the right to the same column as functional area:
G0 Header ...
G1 Header -
Controlling Area
Detail -
Func Area
Resulting in an output that would look like:
CA1000
FA ABCA
FA ABCB
FA ABCC
CA2000
FA ABCA
FA ABCB
FA ABCC
As shown above, these cells cannot be merged because they cross row patterns. You would instead need to move the controlling area member down to the same row as functional area:
G0 Header ...
G1 Header
Detail -
Controlling Area Func Area
You can now merge these cells, resulting in an output that would look like the following:
CA1000 FA ABCA
CA1000 FA ABCB
CA1000 FA ABCC
CA2000 FA ABCA
CA2000 FA ABCB
CA2000 FA ABCC
To merge the cells, you would simply highligh both cells with your cursor and then select the option from the menu.

Katie

If you would like to merge cells, meaning that you want to hide repeating values in a certain column, then you can simply sort by that column.

How to Merge Cells in a JTable?

First, a brief background. I have a 1.3.1 Swing application, and have a custom table framework that is extended from Swing. My table model manages row classes. Each row class has its own collection of renderers and editors. Renderers and editors are never shared; each cell has its own. My custom table asks each row for the renderer/editor as needed. This allows the GUI programmer to customize every cell of a row class, down to the renderer/editor, including which cells are editable. Essentially, my custom table framework puts all the brains into row classes. Each screen has its own row class. So, it's very granular but very powerful. However, I need more power.
I need a way to merge cells across columns (column spanning). These merged cells do NOT need to be editable for now. I don't know how I can get the table to render one cell across others in the same row. I suspect this is largely a painting issue, and could really use some help.
Thanks!
Andy

Thanks for the direction, Ian! That got me on my way.
I subclassed BasicTableUI and copy-pasted the private methods into my subclass, and made them protected. I then modified the paintCell( ) method to change the rendering for the particular table row I'm interested in (test case).
To make the first cell span the entire row, I changed the width of the painting rectangle to be the width of the table, instead of the width of the cell. I also had to NOT render any other cells in that row, so they wouldn't "interfere" with the first renderer. In other words, if I allow cell 3 to be rendered, it will prevent cell 0 from spanning, since cell 3 is rendered AFTER cell 0.
Here's an example of my proof-of-concept (POC):
// For row 5, only render cell 0
if (row == 5) {
    if (column == 0) {
        rendererPane.paintComponent(g, component, table, cellRect.x, cellRect.y, table.getWidth(), cellRect.height, true);
    return;
}You can see that only cell 0 will be rendered, and it will be as wide as the table.
My next step will be to experiment with multiple spans in the same row, and then having a cell in the middle span the entire row. I'll post my results for the sake of posterity.

Hi vulc.le,
It depends on how you display data in the ListView, I would suggest you reading Magnus's article:

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 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.

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];
