Padding for a single cell

Hi
I feel awful for asking this but how do I insert padding for
a single cell. As far as I know the code should look something like
this: cellpadding= "0 10 0 10", but that's probably slightly or
completely off the mark and I'm not sure where to put it.
Thanks, Math

As Osgood points out, your non-zero padding values need to
have units
specified.

How To Load SINGLE CELL Value as Object - In 2D Object Array - InvalidCastException

Setup: ---- VB.net - Visual Studio 2010 - Excel Version 2010 - Option Strict ON
The following WORKS FINE all day long for loading MULTIPLE range values IE: ("F2:F5") or more into a 2D Object Array... No problem... as in the following..
Dim myRangeTwo As Range = ws.Range("F2:F5") ' MULTIPLE CELL RANGE
Dim arr2(,) As Object = CType(myRangeTwo.Value(XlRangeValueDataType.xlRangeValueDefault), Object(,))
The ws.range("F2:F5") values are stuffed into the myRangeTwo range variable as 2D Objects and then those are easily stuffed into the 2D object array...
But this does not work for a SINGLE cell range...
Dim myRangeTwo As Range = ws.Range("F2:F2") ' SINGLE CELL RANGE F2 ONLY
Dim arr2(,) As Object = CType(myRangeTwo.Value(XlRangeValueDataType.xlRangeValueDefault), Object(,))
This triggers an Invalid Cast Exception error on trying to load into the arr2(,).. because the ws.range("F2:F2") is stuffed into the myRangeTwo variable as a "string"
not as an object therefore is not possible to stuff it into an Object Array and so correctly causes the Invalid Cast Error...
How do you handle this seemingly ridiculously simple problem ??
thanks... Cj

Hello,
Simply answer, you need to determine if the range is a single cell or multiple cells. So the following is geared for returning a DataTable for a start and end cell addresses that are different, granted there is no check to see if the cells are valid i.e.
end cell is before start cell i.e.
Since B1 and B10 is a valid range we are good but if we pass in F1:F1 or F10:F10 we must make a decision as per the if statement at the start of the function and if I were expecting this to happen I would have another function that returned a single value.

Is there a way to add multiple borders to a single cell with one click or do I have to add one border at a time for example, one cell with borders on three sides?

I would like to know if there is a way to add multiple borders to a single cell or selection of cells in one click. At this time, if i want to add for example a top border and a bottom border to a single cell I have to do this in two steps: first select the top border, style, thickness, and color, and then next select the bottom border, style, thickness, and color. Is there a way to select the top and bottom border of a cell in one click? Clicking on the top border then holding down the command key while selecting the bottom border does not work, nor does holding down the option key, the control key, or the shift key work. Thanks for your help.

Thank you for the suggestion but this did not work for my Mac. When a cell is selected for which I want borders, the entire cell is lit up. Then when I go to the border tool and select style, thickness, and color, the entire lit up cell takes on the border, that is the Outside Edges of the cell now have a border. So selecting the style, thickness, and color first doesn't work.
If I select the top border first (or any border), the drop down goes away and I can't select multiple borders - I get to choose one at a time. After selecting one border, style, thickness, and color, said border is now on the spreadsheet. Then I go back to the border selection and pick another border and the the previously selected style, thickness, and color reverts to null, so I start over with the new border style, thickness, and color. Yes, it is tedious.
The Fix would allow the user to select multiple borders, say left and right, before the drop down goes away after selecting only one border
Does it have something to do with Allow or Disallow border selection?
I have Numbers '09 version 2.1 (436)

I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me?

I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me? The final result would be a spreadsheet telling there were 8 people from 20 to 39 years old, 14 peolple from 40 to 59 and so on...

This appears to be an 'input form' using 'Radio Buttons' to select the category. Neither of these features are supported in Numbers '09.
You can input the data on one table and summarize it on a second table, but the input table will continue to hold data for each event.
And by using the Reorganize button, you can hide all but two rows of that table to approximate the appearance and performance of an input form.
Here are the two tables, Data on the left and Summary on the right. Notes below.
The grey-filled columns in both tables are 'working' columns, and may be hidden (as shown in the image below).
Data table:
D1 contains the word "TRUE" (in capital letters). (This row is always shown.)
D2 is empty, or may contain any value except "TRUE" (This row is always hidden under the Reorganize rule.)The rest of Row 2 of this table requires the data shown: a number outside the range to be counted (999), and two checkboxes, both checked.
D3 (and filled down the rest of column D): =AND(OR(B2,C2),NOT(OR(B3,C3)))
The formula returns TRUE only for the first unused row in the table (ie. the first row for which neither checkbox has been checked)
Summary table:
Column A contains labels for the age ranges to be counted.
Column B contains the same information in the form necessary for the formulas in columns C and D. They need a numeric value, and that value must be the largest acceptable value in the range to be counted.
C2 (and filled right to column D, then both filled down to row 5):
=COUNTIFS(Data :: $A,"<="&$B,Data :: B,TRUE)-SUM(C$1:C1)
Two changes from the previous example:
COUNTIFS is used to separate the Native and Foreign counts as well as the age range to be counted.
The amount subtracted from each result is the SUM of the earlier results, and includes the text value in the first cell of the column (which is interpreted by SUM as a zero).
See note below regarding my earlier formula.
When the greyed columns are hidden and the checkbox in the Reorganize pane is checked, the two tables will appear as shown below:
Close the reorganize pane, and the 'data entry form' is ready to use.
To use, enter the age first, then check one of the boxes.
As soon as one box is checked, the row will be hidden, and the next (unused) row will be shown.
Regards,
Barry
Note regarding formula in my earlier post:
The earlier formula will give erroneous results as it subtracts only the count directly above it from its count of persons in the age range 0-n.
In E2 of that table, replace "-E1" with "-SUM(E1:E$1)
Fill down to E8.
Ignore the instructions (in that post) following "Fill down to E8."

In dreamweaver CS4, I can't make border for single cell

Hi folks,
Having given up trying to make a single cell border in the dreamweaver CS4 template, I reverted to an html page and put in my own header, 2 columns and footer as cells in the html table. I know there's html code for adding borders to single cell, but I can't find it. I hope someone can give me a sample line of html code for giving a cell a border on left side and on right side, including 1px solid color border. Anyone?

Not sure if this is what you want, at least it will give you an example

Freely-programmed value help for a single ALV cell

Greetings everyone,
I have a freely-programmed value help that works beautifully when attached to the context element of a single field, but now I'm needing to use it in an ALV for a specific cell. Is there a way to shut off the dropdown for all of the rows (cells) in the column where I don't need it? Or, is there an appropriate workaround that can deliver the same results?
I've found several posts that address similar issues, but nothing for this exact problem.
Thanks,
Jason Block

I take it from reading your description what you want is a little more complicated than just controlling the read-only property on the input field. If I read you properly you still want to have all the cells in a column to be open for input, just on some of them you want to disable the value help. Is that correct? See these screen shots for clarification:
If you focus on the the input field in the first row, you get the value help:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tjung/2714133068/
However if you go to the second row and focus on the same input field in this column, you don't get the value help:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tjung/2714133094/
If this is what you want, then buckel up because this was a challenging one. The problem is that the value help specification is not done at the UI element level, but instead at the context attribute level. Therefore it can't be as simple as controlling a property on the inputField itself. What you will need to do is extend the context node that you have bound to the ALV. You need to add a second version of the attribute that is bound to your input field. In this second version you can set the value help specification to Disabled:
http://www.flickr.com/photos/tjung/2713320505
Notice from the screen shot that I also added another attirbute called CVAR (type STRING). We will need that later. It will be used to store which cell variant show be used on a particular row.
Now we must go to the place in your code where you fill the context node with data. You will need to copy the data from your primary attribute to your secondary one. In my case I was copying the values from CARRID to CARRID2. Of course for update, you would need to merge the data back together before saving it back to the database. I also set a simple odd/even pattern of controller in the cell variant. I assume you will have some actual business logic that controls this:
data odd type boolean value abap_true.
   loop at lt_f_r_sflight[] assigning <ls_f_r_sflight>.
    clear ls_c_r_sflight.
    move-corresponding <ls_f_r_sflight> to ls_c_r_sflight.
    move <ls_f_r_sflight>-carrid to ls_c_r_sflight-carrid2.
    if odd = abap_true.
      odd = abap_false.
    else.
      odd = abap_true.
      ls_c_r_sflight-cvar = 'NOVH'.
    endif.
    insert ls_c_r_sflight into table lt_c_r_sflight[].
endloop.
lo_r_sflight->bind_table( lt_c_r_sflight[] ).
Next is the logic in the initialization of the ALV. We will need to create two input fields - each bound to the different context attributes. We will make the one the primary cell editor. The other will become the cell editor of the cell variant. We then tell the column where it can get its cell variant value from:
DATA lo_cmp_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage.
lo_cmp_usage =   wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
IF lo_cmp_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
    lo_cmp_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
DATA l_salv_wd_table TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table.
l_salv_wd_table = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
DATA l_table TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_config_table.
l_table = l_salv_wd_table->get_model( ).
l_table->if_salv_wd_table_settings~set_read_only( abap_false ).
DATA input1 TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field.
DATA l_column TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
l_column = l_table->if_salv_wd_column_settings~get_column( 'CARRID' ).
CREATE OBJECT input1
    EXPORTING
      value_fieldname = 'CARRID'.
l_column->set_cell_editor( input1 ).
DATA input2 TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field.
CREATE OBJECT input2
    EXPORTING
      value_fieldname = 'CARRID2'.
DATA l_cv TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_cv_standard.
CREATE OBJECT l_cv.
l_cv->set_key( 'NOVH' ).
l_cv->set_editor( input2 ).
l_column->add_cell_variant( l_cv ).
l_column->set_sel_cell_variant_fieldname( 'CVAR' ).

Deactivated imput-ready feature for a single line/cell

Hello to everybody.
I've looking for a possibility to deactivate the input-ready feature for just a single cell.
My table shows a collection of accounts from an object.
There's a column for the actual value and right of it the input-ready column for the planning value that should be typed in by the user.
One row of it contains a value that shouldn't be planned.
The problem is, I want to have them in the table but as I said not input ready.
Is this possible? If so, how?
Thanks in advance.
Sebastian

Yes you can do this. If you do not want the user to change some accounts then you can make freeze this by applying data slices.
In the planninh modeler goto the info provider tab , there you can see data slice tab.
There are two types of data slices;
Data slice based on selection:
If you want to freeze any data then you can either hard code the values or you can do it through an customer exit variable for a characteristic.
Data slice based on exit class:
You can create a custom class and put your code in that and inlcude this class in the data slice tab under exit class.

Set_cell_Editor for single cells rather then complete column

Is it possible to set a cell editor (eg a link) only for single cells of a column.
Regards
Rene

hi rene.....
        you cannot do that......
        may be you can have an extral column called enabled or disabled and bind that property to the enabled property of the cell editor so that only one cell will be enabled while others disabled.

Concatenation of Data from 4 infoobjects into a single cell in Bex Report

Hi,
I have loaded ODS with the description data. The source system for loading the ODS is the flat file. The ODS data should be a replica of the flat file.
In the flat file, there is a description field corresponding to a particular ID. This Description is greater than the standard 60 char length. So, I had to split the description while loading the flat file using single line routine in the Transfer Structure.
So, while loading different the data, I split the description field data from the flat file into 4 infoobjects and the flat file data was loaded into the ODS.
Now, from the reporting point of view, I need to display the entire description data from the 4 info-objects into a single cell in the Bex report.
Please suggest a solution for this.

Multiple values in a single cell in report !!

Hello,
I want to display multiple values in a single cell, each value separated by comma.
Ex: I have Employee and Department.
If a employee works for many departments, all the Department names should be displayed in the same cell in the report.
Please help !

Thanks for your replies !
Is there any other way to achieve this ?
There is 1 InfoObject which has 2 fields Employee and Department.
Employee     Department
001                A
001                B
001                C
In the report there should be 1 row for Employee 001 with all the Departments displayed in the same cell separated by commas.
Can this be done in the backend through a ABAP code?

Hi,
I´m not quite sure if this is gonna work. You have to make a loop over the screen and then you can change some characteristics of it, which includes the Input option:
LOOP AT SCREEN.
    IF screen-group1 = 'ABC'.
      screen-input = '0'.
      MODIFY SCREEN.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
I´ve used this code for selection screens but could help you. Check in SE11 all options for SCREEN.

NAC Guest Server, How to change the password for a single user?

We have a NAC Guest Server which creates a complex password for all new users created.
We would like to have normal/simple password for a single user. How can I get this done on a NAC Guest Server.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
You can setup 3 different flavours of passwords:
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/docs/security/nac/guestserver/configuration_guide/20/g_guestpol.html#wp1063249.
a. Username Policy 1 - Email address as username
Use the guest's email address as the username. If an overlapping account with the same email address exists, a random number is added to the end of the email address to make the username unique. Overlapping accounts are accounts that have the same email address and are valid for an overlapping period of time.
b. Username Policy 2 - Create username based on first and last names
Create a username based on combining the first name and last name of the guest. You can set a Minimum username length for this username from 1 to 20 characters (default is 10). User names shorter than the minimum length are padded up to the minimum specified length with a random number.
c. Username Policy 3 - Create random username
Create a username based upon a random mixture of Alphabetic, Numeric or Other characters. Type the characters to include to generate the random characters and the number to use from each set of characters.
Note: The total length of the username is determined by the total number of characters included.

Removing header, border for only single column in mx:DataGrid

Hi,
I am using Flex4 SDK and FlashBuilder4.
I have a requirement where i need to remove column header, borders and grid lines for only last column in datagrid.
It should look like there is no column present. This column will be used to show some icon for only selected row.
Can any one suggest how to implement this. Please provide any sample if you can.
Thanks

hi Johnny, it was helpfull for me.
With the given example i am still getting the grid line gaps with the selected row or hover color between verticle cells of the column.
As gridlines can only be removed for complete datagrid not for a single column. is it possible ?
Thanks

How do I outline a single cell in a numbers spreadsheet

I am trying to emphasise the borders of a single cell in a numbers spreadsheet; I follow all the instructions I can find in mac help, they just don't make any difference. I may be ancient, but I can usually suss things out in time; this baffles me. However, I do realize I may have blundered into the wrong type of help forum here.

To place borders around a cell in Numbers -
Make sure the cell has been selected, i.e. is the active cell.
Click the Inspector tool in the Toolbar -
Then click the Table inspector icon in the Inspector window's toolbar -
In that screen, look down to the section "Cell Borders"...
Click the button for full border (arrow in pic above) -
Adjust the color of the border as needed for visibility (oval in pic above) -
And then you may need to adjust the line weight (thickness) to get it visible on-screen. To do that, click the dropmenu in that section showing "Thin" and select the next item underneath "thin" in the menu. This will make the item just to the right of that menu active - you can then use the arrow-buttons to make the line weight thicker. Although the thinnest setting (0.25 pt) may print okay, on some screens it just doesn't show - especially of the border color has not been set to a hard black. Making it thicker can help in viewing it on-screen.

Either:
1. Use a chart which displays multiple series, then you can allow the built-in legend to show OR
2. Use a single dynamically colored series have you have done and create your own custom legend.
