Numbers: How to create a spreadsheet with columns

I would appreciate help with something which seems quite basic, but I cannot figure it out from the manual. I need to track invoices. I would like columns with invoice number, supplier`s name, dates, and then of course numbers. I cannot see how to change a column (in blank spreadsheet) labelled as `A` to `invoice number`, for example. I am truly in the wilderness when it comes to spreadsheets! Thank you.

vista4444,
Welcome to Numbers. Spreadsheets (or "tables" as they are refered to in Numbers) will always show columns headed A, B, C, etc. What you want to do is type your labels in the first row (header row) under those letters. Similarly, the A column is a header column for the rows. These headers have a special function: they are used to name rows and columns and cannot contain formulas. If using formulas in other cells, columns can be identified by either letter or name in the header below. The same is true for rows.
You will know when the these headers are active when you see them shaded over near the far right of the format bar under the media icon.

How to create a view with columns from multiple rows

I have posted this in SQL/PSL forum, but I hope database experts in this group can give me ideas too, also the need is from BI reports.
I have a table, say, project_milestones, which has these columns in concern:
proj_id, milestone_name, actual_end_date
with data:
proj_id, milestone_name, actual_end_date
===== ================ ==============
1001, Key Element Approve, 2009-10-02
1001, Final Synopsis, 2009-10-07

1002, LPFV, 2009-10-04
There are about 10 milestones in each project.
I have to create a view to flat these data at project level, looks like this:
proj_id, key_element_date, final_synopsis_date, final_protocol_approved_date, FPFV_date, LPFV_date, key_element_to_final_synopsis_days, final_synopsis_final_protocol_days, ....
How can I do this?
Thanks,

Thanks,Create a pivot table and put "milestone_name" in the Columns section under the Labels.
Put "actual_end_date" in the Measures section and change the Aggregation Rule to "Max."
The rest of the attributes keep in Rows section.

How to create tree table with column headers

hi,
when i drag and drop a view object onto my .jspx page as a af: tree table ,
am not able to get the column header of each column. all the columns in the table are just clubbed together not separated as in af:table.
can anyone say how the column headers are created for the columns when we drop a view object as a tree table?

Hi,
this is not an option with the treeTable as it gets rendered by default when dragging and dropping the collection to the page. I haven't tried it, but I think you will have to check which node is getting rendered and based on this information add your own row layout . Sounds like a bit of coding work

How to create a table with varied number of columns?

I am trying to create a balance table. The colunms should include years between the start year and end year the user will input at run time. The rows will be the customers with outstanding balance in those years.
If the user input years 2000 and 2002, the table should have columns 2000, 2001, 2002. But if the user input 2000 and 2001, the table will only have columns 2000 and 2001.
Can I do it? How? Thanka a lot.

Why did you create a new thread for this?

Numbers does not have rotated text within cells. You can place a text box over the cell that has rotated text but you cannot rotate text within a cell.

How to create a view indicating column's length?

SQL>create table abc (a number(12));
I want to create a view cde with a length of number(5) by "describe cde" in sql*plus.
SQL>create view cde(a) as select a from abc;
SQL>desc cde
A NUMBER(12)
how to create a view indicating column's length? the actual value in abc only <1000
I want to create a view cde with a length of number(5) .
SQL>desc cde
A NUMBER(12)
Thank You
Ming-An Zhang

This does not make sense. How can a view be a NUMBER(5) and the actual column a NUMBER(12)?
What happens if there is a 10 or 12 digit number in the table? Just what is the view suppose to do? Crash and burn? Where is the logic in that?!
If the table's column has an incorrect precision and size, THEN FIX IT!! Do not hack it with view!
It is silly purposefully building constructs into the database that can easily result in run-time errors.

How to create a fixed-width column within an APEX 4 interactive report?

This thread is a follow-up to {message:id=9191195}. Thanks fac586.
Partial success: The following code provided by fac586 limits the column width of the Apex 4 interactive report column as long as the column data contains whitespace within a Firefox 3.6 browser:
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>
</pre>
Notes:
1. The code above is put into the HTML header section for the page.
2. T_DESCRIPTION is defined as VARCHAR2(2000).
3. The code above works within the Firefox 3.6.12 browser but does not work within the Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
I tried adding "float: left;":
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
<font color="red"> float: left;</font>
</style>
</pre>
Notes:
1. "float: left;" does not require whitespace and successfully splits the column between characters in lieu of whitespace.
2. "float: left;" shrinks the cell height and allows the page background to show through... couldn't determine how to fix this.
3. The code above works within the Firefox 3.6.12 browser but does not work within the Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
I've done some more research, but I still haven't discovered how to create a fixed-width column within an APEX 4 interactive report that displays properly within an Internet Explorer 7 browser.
Any ideas and help will be appreciated.

Thanks for your help with this!
<pre class="jive-pre">

Floating a table cell makes no sense (to me anyway).

You are correct. I was just trying a different approach ... trying to think out of the box.
<pre class="jive-pre">
Think you'll need to create an example on apex.oracle.com with sample data
if there are any further problems.
</pre>
Great suggestion! The code your provided works in the Firefox 3.6.12 browser, but still doesn't work within my Internet Explorer 7.0.5730.13 browser.
UPDATE:
I have recreated the problem at apex.oracle.com, you can use the following information to check it out:
URL: http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=43543:100::::::
Workspace: IR_FIXED_WIDTH_COLS
Username: GUEST
Password: Thx4help
Application: 43543 - CM_RANDY_SD
Note: Table name is TEST_DATA
The following code provided by fac586 works in both Firefox 3.6 and IE7 using default theme "21. Scarlet" at apex.oracle.com; however, it doesn't work when I use a copy of our customized theme "101. Light Blue":
<pre class="jive-pre">
<style type="text/css">
.apexir_WORKSHEET_DATA {
th#T_DESCRIPTION {
width: 300px;
max-width: 300px;
td[headers="T_DESCRIPTION"] {
max-width: 300px;
word-wrap: break-word;
</style>

</pre>
Any idea what in the theme could be causing the fixed width column to be ignored in IE 7?

I am trying to create a new node. That is
CONTEXT
- DYNFLIGHT
CARRID
CONNID
As you see above I am trying to create 'DYNFLIGHT' along with the 2 attributes which are inside this node. The structure of the node that is, no.of attributes may vary based on some condition. Thats why I am trying to create a node dynamically.
Also I cannot define the structure in the ABAP dictionary because it changes based on condition

Hi Easwar
Thanks a lot for answering the question.
Yes I do have CRM Billing documents. But the problem is
a) either the billing document doesn't have Transfer to Accounting status Transferred or
b) a transferred billing document, but all items have error "Unable to offset billing item 90003458 0000000060" etc.
Do you know
1) how I can make a billing document have "Transferred" status? Pressing "Transfer to Accounting" button in the billing document overview page will only set the status to "Being transferred". And it's always being tranfered.
2) What does the error "Unable to offset billing item ... "mean? How to get rid of them?
Thanks a lot!

Edited by: 903948 on Dec 22, 2011 10:58 PMWhat you need to do to eliminate the INSERT statement is to -- as already suggested by others - eliminate the temporary table. You don't need it. It is just necessary overhead. Please explain why you (apparently) believe that the suggestion of a view will not meet your requirements.

I need your expert opinion on how to create a map with multiple conditions.

Hello.
I need your expert opinion on how to create a map with multiple conditions.
I have a procedure (which i cannot import or re-create in OWB due to the bug), so i am trying to create a map instead :-(
How can i create a cursors within the map?
My function creates table and cursor.
Then it will have to check for duplicates in the tables (the one created and another table) - the criteria for finding duplicates is a number of fields.I then need to place few different conditions (if some attributes are not available) and it has to load cursor based on this conditions. The next step is to fetch the data into the cursor based on what attributes are missing.
The next thing it will do is insert the data into table (if record doesn't exist), output the error in separate table is record is corrupted, or update the record with changed information.
In short i need to re-create match / merge but with conditions, iterations etc 'built into' it.
I can read up on available functions - it's just what would be the best options? and what would be the best approach to do so?
In my function i use %rowtype - but cannot use it in owb - so what would be the alternative? i don't really want to create a lot of variables and then have a nightmare of maintaing it. are there any tips regarding this?
having looked through Oracle dedupe - it's not really what i need because it is just DISTINCT.
I would appreciate any help / advise on this.
Thank you very much

thanks a lot for your reply - i will look into this option :-)
it is a bit more complicated now as i have to re-create the match / merge and then somehow 'tweak' it to achieve the result i need.
At the moment i am looking to breakdown the package into smaller chunks 'functions' and try creating the map that way.
Anyway, thank you very much for your suggestion.
