Percentages from Numerical Values Assigned to Text

I am new to Excel and am having trouble with what I thought would be a simple formula. I am trying to create a formula that will find the percentage of text in a single column. Example, I am looking for the percentage of "Yes" to "No"
values in a column, and am not sure if I should assign a numerical value and then try and create a formula that will calculate the percentage. I have had no luck so far, any help would be much appreciated.

Assuming the yes/no values are in column A, the following formula with give the percentage of 'yes' entries in that column:
=COUNTIF(A:A,"yes")/COUNTA(A:A)*100
If you format the result as %, omit the *100.

Searching for numeric values in a text field / SQL Server

Hi all,
here's a problem that I've been trying to solve for several days: I try to select rows from an MS SQL Server via JDBC that contain a certain numeric value at a certain position in a long varchar field.
I'm using queries like
select * from table where substring(field_1, 37, 7) like '1011234';Those queries always return an empty ResultSet. If I use the same queries in WinSQL, I get correct results (several rows).
The application code is working in principle; if I search for a text instead of a numeric value, for example select * from table where substring(field_1, 4, 5) like 'Paper'; , I get a complete ResultSet.
I've tried many variations (= instead of like, search in the entire field (without substring but with like '%1011234%'), with or without ', and more), but that didn't change anything.
It's also most probably not caused by the JDBC driver; I have tried JTDS first, and then the MS driver (newest versions) - no difference.
One idea was that the sort order is not correct, tried some COLLATE settings, but that didn't help so far. In this context I'd like to know how to determine the collation sequence of a certain column.
Another thing I tried was using CAST, for example SELECT * FROM table WHERE CAST(SUBSTRING(field_1, 37, 7) as bigint) = CAST('1011234' as bigint); or SELECT * FROM table WHERE CAST(SUBSTRING(field_1, 37, 7) as bigint) = CAST(1011234 as bigint);, but that didn't help either.
Some facts:
Server: Microsoft SQL Server, version 09.00.2047
Driver in WinSQL: SQLSRV32.DLL, version 03.85.1117
JDBC-Driver:
- JTDS, version 1.2
- Microsoft SQL Server 2005 JDBC Driver, Version 1.2
JVM: jre1.5.0_11
I didn't find anything on Google, or in this forum, or other forums. I really hope someone here can help me. Thanks in advance!
Best regards,
Uica

Your note suggests to me that this is a coding problem, not a JDBC or SQL problem unless you are hitting a bug in the SQL Server JDBC driver. Others may have ideas from what you have written, but I think it would be helpful to see the actual code that you are executing that does not bring back the results that you are expecting (don't forgot to use code tags to format your code correctly).
It might also be helpful to execute a query (from within your Java code) to ensure that you are connecting to the right database, accessing the correct table and that your substring is using the correct offset. The query would look something like this (and then of course display the list of results):
SELECT substring(field_1, 37, 7) from table

Type conversion from numeric value to time format

hi guys,
i hvae column called (Time in seconds).i need to convert the numeric value of one column into time format HH:MM:SS. for example 3012 =00:50:12.
how can i proceed the same in the front end.
Thanks & Regards,
Nandu

Hi..
here is the code.. (assuming 10000 in the following code is your seconds, replace that with your value...)
cast(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0) as varchar(2)) || ' : ' || cast(TRUNCATE(60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))),0) as varchar(2)) || ' : ' ||cast(60*((60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))))-(TRUNCATE(60*((10000/3600)-(TRUNCATE(10000/3600,0))),0))) as varchar(2)) You can also use floor instead of truncate...
Above will give only h:m:s format if hh (or) mm (or) ss are between 0 and 9. So, you may need to add case when condition before each concatenation: if hh is between 0 and 9 then need to concatenate with 0 else the same code...
Thanks...

Analogue Output from Numeric Value

I have a VI which converts a digital signal into a speed based on the number of pulses per revolution. What I would like to do is now output that numeric value as a scaled 0-5V channel. I have tried to use the DAQassistant as with all of my other analogue outputs but it gives a buffer error. I know it can't be that hard to implement, can someone point me in the right direction...
Thanks,

How can I validate numeric values in a text field?

Hi
Once more I have a problem.
I have a field in which the user should enter 10 digits in the pattern 999999-9999. The field must only contain numeric data and must be exactly 10 characters. I have a validation script on the print button, that prevent printing if required fields are empty or not properly filled out.
I have tried two ways to work this out, and I'm not satisfied with any of them, as I can still print despite of validation scripts and warning messages.
1.
I set the field to numeric, limited to 11 characters.
Display pattern num{999999-9999}, edit pattern num{999999-9999} and validation pattern num{999999-9999}
Problems using this solution: When I type 11 digits in the field (ex.12345612345) I get a warning message and 12.345.612.
But when I type 9 digts (ex. 123456-123 or 123456123) I get no warning message and 000000-0000 or 012345-6123
If I type alphabetical characters (ex. 123456-abcd) I get no warning message and 000000-0000.
2.
I set the field to text field, limited to 11 characters.
Display pattern text{999999-9999}, edit pattern text{999999-9999} and validation pattern text{999999-9999}
Now when I type 11 digits in the field (ex.12345612345) I get no warning message and 12345612345.
When I type 9 digts (ex. 123456-123) I get no warning message and 123456-123
When I type 9 digts (ex. 123456123) I get a warning message and 123456123
If I type alphabetical characters (ex. 123456-abcd) I get a warning message and 123456-abcd.
It works slightly better as a text field, but I am not satisfied at all.
Has anyone a solution to this?
Additional I would also like the hyphen to emerge automatically when typing.

How do I add numeric values as text in XML??

HI,
So, I've developed a 3d carousel using this tutorial and the XML, and customized the XML in Dreamweaver.
http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play?id=33
Now, I've got the carousel set up exactly the way I would like, but the only trouble, is how do I add numeric values as the text for the xml file???
Here's an example to the working carousel and where text is loaded for each item on it. (put your sound on mute if you don't want to hear the video)
http://iongeo.com/collaboration_test_dev/video_arctic_imaging.html
For example, in my XML, if I would like the text to be "3d images", when I export the FLA, only "d images" comes through because the numeric values can't be added as the text for the tooltip.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Here is an example of how the XML is loaded into the .swf - the text loads great, but just not the numeric characters.
The same story can be said for special characters, I would like to know how to add a "&" sign too.
<icons>
<icon image="images/Subsalt_E_P_Partnerships.png" tooltip="3D Images" content="Text Copy.">
</icon>
</icons>
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi Randy,
Thanks a lot for the reply. Your post got me thinking that it's actually a flash problem, as the actual descriptor text shows 123,etc and "&".
The trouble is that the icons are dynamically loaded from the XML to movie clips on the flash file. I've asked the flash forum to see if they could take a look.
Thanks again.
Mike

Assigning a Value to a Text Symbol: DEFINE

Hi all,
I am printing some text in the form. The text is in the database table and is retrieved. say the field name is fld06 in the table ztfin. Previously it is code as &zfin-fld06& in the form edotir. Now my requiremnet is to dispay some other text where ever I have to print ztfin-fld06. I have used the define statement in this way :
/: DEFINE &ztfin-fld06& = 'Data Fattura'
But when I look at the output the text is not replaced nor it is realised while I am debugging. Can anyone tellme where I am going wrong ?
Regards,
Varun.

hi
chk this out
<b>DEFINE: Value assignment to text symbols
Text symbols receive their value through an explicit assignment. This assignment can be made interactively in the editor via the menu options Include Symbols Text. This lists all the text symbols of a text module, as well as those of the allocated layout set.
The contents defined in this way are lost if the transaction is exited. To continue printing the text module, you would have to enter the symbol values again.The DEFINE command allows you to anchor this value assignment firmly in the text, to also have it available when you next call up the text. Furthermore, you can allocate another value to a text symbol in
the course of the text.
Syntax:
/: DEFINE &symbolname& = value
Example:
/: DEFINE &re& = Your correspondence of 3/17/94
Example:
/: DEFINE &symbol1& = xxxxxxx
/: DEFINE &symbol2& = yyy&symbol1&
/: DEFINE &symbol1& = zzzzzzz
Result: &symbol2& yyyzzzzzzz
The assigned value may have a maximum of 60 characters. It can also contain further symbols. When a symbol is defined using the control command DEFINE, symbols which occur in the value are not immediately replaced by their value. They are only replaced when the target symbol is output. If the operator := is used in the DEFINE statement, all symbols which occur in the value which is to be assigned are immediately replaced by their current values. The resulting character string is only then assigned to the target symbol when all occurring symbols have been replaced. The length of the value is limited to 80 characters. The target symbol must be a text symbol, as at present.
Syntax:
/: DEFINE &symbolname& := value</b>
<i>u can also write a perform...endperform to change the value of a field to ur required text.</i>

Send numeric value in relative time format to text file

Hi, I'm trying to send a numeric value to a text file (.txt). However, this value must be in Relative Time format, which is displayed correctly in my front panel but not in my text file. The text file displays it as an integer-.
I know that this can be achieved by sending a string instead of a numeric value, but the thing is, I'm sending other numeric values along with this one, which means ALL the data must be numeric in order for Labview to send it, since it does not seem to accept a polimorphic array of data.
Any suggestions?

Build an array with 2 values assigned to 1 dimension

I am wanting to build a 1D array where two values are assigned to each dimension. For example:
Index 0 would have a 1 and 4 assigned to it
Index 1 would have a 2 and 3 assigned to it
Index 2 would have a 0 and 1 assigned to it.
Then I can unbundle this arrayand grab the two values for index 0, index 1, etc.... I want to put this array inside a typedef control. Is this possible?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Thanks for the replies. I considered using a cluster and had the typedef control modified to include the cluster. I may just go back to this method if this is the simplest for the code I am modifiing.
A 2D array assigns two values i.e. row and column to one number. I need it the other way around.
Here is what I am trying to do. I need to control a rotary valve. I am using compact filedpoint to control the rotary valve. The valve requires a pulse (1 then 0) for the rotary valve to move 1 position. If the valve is on channel 1 of the fieldpoint module and I want it to turn to position 2, the I send two pulses to channel 1.
My thinking is I will have two values associated per rotary valve... a channel and a pulse value. So for example, valve 0 has a Boolean and a numeric value assigned to it in an array. Although, it doesn't have to be a boolean and a numeric. it could be 2 numeric values for simplicity.
I hope this makes sense because without knowing this posting a VI or image is useless. Its the chicken before the egg thing. :-)

Assigning a Numeric Value in a Cell Based on Text in Another Cell

In advance, thanks for your assistance. I'm trying, in vain, to assign a numeric value in a cell based on text (from a dropdown menu) in another cell. For example, in cell A5 I have a dropdown list that includes the options "blue", "red", "white", and "gold." I want cell C15 to be 2 if A5="blue"; I want C15 to be 0 if A5="red"; I want C15 to be 2 if A5="white"; and, I want C15 to be 1 if A5="gold."

Tippet,
This is a job for LOOKUP.
The expression for the Result cell is: =LOOKUP(A2, Lookup :: A1:A4, Lookup :: B1:B4)
The aux. table contains the matches that you assign for the colors.

How do I assign a numerical value to text cells in cartesian products?

Hi, this is more of a two part question.
Question 1
I need to be able to assign numerical values (Table Value £ of set up) to text cells (Set Up).
1. The table "Combinations" then uses the formula
IF($A3≤Information::$B$8, MOD(INT((ROW(cell)−3)÷PRODUCT(C$1:$G$1)), B$1), "")
to take info from the "Information" table and create all possible permutations of "Set Up"
2."List" is the printed list of "Combinations"
3."Output of list" concatenates the data from "List".
Question 2
4. How do I print out the total numerical value of the concatenated string of "Output of List" into Output (£) of List"?

Assign numeric value to a variable from an item

Someone please help me. I am attempting to assign a variable a numerical value from a text field. For example,
my text field item is :P202_AMOUNT. How do I assign the number that is entered into this item to a PLS_INTEGER variable? I have attempted to uss this line of code but it hasn't worked:
v_amount PLS_INTEGER := :P202_AMOUNT;
Please help.
-Stefano

Stefano,
The code you showed will work in the declaration section of a PL/SQL block that is part of your application's metadata (region, process, computation, etc.). Perhaps you are attempting to compile such a block externally using the bind variable. If that is the case, try v('P202_AMOUNT') instead. Or maybe your question is about format masks... How about giving us a bit more to go on?

Assigning a numerical value to the answers of a multiple choice text field

I have searched and searched thru a million articles but there does not seem to be a simple way to do this, and I hope like heck that I am just overthinking it. I tend to fall back on years of coding and completely miss a simple answer when doing this
kind of thing so I hope someone can help.
I'm developing a scorecard. I have a list that has a form on it that asks a series of questions on it. Some are yes/no.
I want to assign the numerical value of "1" to "yes", and "0" to "No".
This is so that when I create the actual scorecard, I can add up all the answers and generate a calculated score.
Example:
Was this incident properly classified?
[Dropdown]
Yes
No
Do I need an extra column assigning the values? Can I assign the values within the column itself? Any assistance will be really helpful.

there are several options:
- calculated column with something along the lines of =IF([dropdowncolumn] = "YES", 1, 0)
- separate lookup list with values
- if you're using infopath, your column could be numeric, and just use a DropDown as the visualization, and populate the DDL with key/values of "Yes"/1 and "No"/0 (though in this case, when viewing the list as a native grid, the column
would only show 1/0, not "yes / no"
- depending on how you're creating the scorecard, use a yes/no (boolean) column and just convert during the calculation
lots of options come to mind.

How i can assign multiple values to tabuler text item (Help)

HI
IM PROGRAMMING ONE FORM AND I PUT THERE TABULER TEXT ITEM
I WANT ASSIGN 63 VALUES TO THIS TEXT ITEM ONE BY ONE BY CODE I MEAN PUT FIRST VALUE IN THE FIRST TEXT ITEM ROW THEN SECOND TO THE SECOND TEXT ITEM AND LIKE THIS UNTIL I REACH TO THE LAST
I MAKE LOV PUT I CAN ASSIGN ONE VALUE BY ONE VALUE EACH TIME DOUBLE CLICK ON THE TEXT ITEM ASSIGN ONE VALUE THEN DOUBLE CLICK ON THE SECOND ROW PUT MY BOSS WANT ASSIGN ALL VALUES 63 FROM ONE CLICK ON BUTTON

Then you will have to create a when-validate-item trigger with a cursor based on your selection of your LOV . Loop through that cursor assigning the next in the next record by using the built-in function next_record. (put you selection for you value in a hidden item for example.
something like this:
Declare
cursor c is
select returnValueFromLOV
from <yourtable>
where yourdisplay value = :hidden_tem;
begin
for r in c loop
next_record;
item := r. returnValueFromLOV;
end loop;
exception
when no_data_found
your error handling;
end;
Hope it put you on the road to reach what you want

Convert numeric value to display as text based on record in another table? ASP/VB

I have an orders table:
orderID (PK)
pickupname
pickupaddress
pickupregion (numeric)
pickuppostcode
deliveryname
deliveryaddress
deliveryregion (numeric)
deliverypostcode
I also have a regions table:
regionID
regionname
On my ASP page, I would like to display the pickup and
delivery addresses as
follows, but also need this to be within a repeat region as I
am displaying
a number of orders on the page (I have wrapped what I want in
the repeat
region in dashes, below):
---------Repeat Region Start-----------
Pickup Address:
Name
Address
Region (pickupregion)
Postcode
Delivery Address:
Name
Address
Region (deliveryregion)
Postcode
--------Repeat Region End------------
As it displays at the moment, I get this (using sample data):
---------Repeat Region Start-----------
Pickup Address:
Joe Bloggs
High Street
12
HT12 5TY
Delivery Address:
Jane Bloggs
The Mall
33
DT6 5TG
--------Repeat Region End------------
Is there any way to convert these numeric values to the
actual region name
but to keep it within one recordset so that I can use the
repeat region? I
tried creating a recordset for regions (SELECT regionID,
regionname FROM
tblRegions WHERE regionID = pickupregion OR regionID =
deliveryregion), but,
because I'm not repeating this region, it just displays the
same regional
name for every order, albeit the first record returned does
contain the
correct values! :o)
I was thinking about some kind of inner join, but it's having
two numeric
region fields in the orders table that is causing me
headaches! PS. I need
to keep the two addresses within one orders table - I had
thought of that!
Got me a bit stumped, I have to say. Any help would be
greatly appreciated.
Thanks.
Regards
Nath.

I've tried this one already.
I tried to leave it blank, & nbsp ; , text,... but the problem is that our lov is build by a function and it always returns a query, so the LOV is never null.
I figured something out: made a process after header that has some cursors to get the values from the database and changed the item to a simple display as text-field. There were only 4 that were wrong, so it wasn't to much work.
