Shade Excel Rows When a Text Value Changes

How would I tell Excel to format background fill in rows when a value changes?  Chandoo posted this challenge and many people have answered, but I cannot get any of their proposed solutions to work properly.  This would be a handy trick and it
should not be hard.

Looks like you have already got the correct formula, the only thing you need to do is create a conditional formatting. What's the trouble did you meet ?
Also you can try this formula:=ISODD(SUMPRODUCT(1/COUNTIF($A$2:A2,$A$2:A2)))

  • Is it possible to generate a user event when shared variable value change on RT target?

    Hi,
        I wonder if it is possible to generate a user event when a network published shared variable value change?
        Thanks a lot!
        Regards,
        Tom

    Tom,
    I understand not wanting to waster resources on polling but I am not aware that LabVIEW can automatically generate an event on a SV change.
    Maybe a better solution...
    You could implement lower level TCP communication (i.e. have a look at STM - simple messaging protocol) for passing data betweeen RT and PC (instead of using a SV).  You could send a generic command (boolean trigger maybe?) from your RT system when the value of whatever it is the SV is storing has changed.  You can avoid polling on the non-RT system this way.

  • PDA build error when using a 'value change' event on two controls

    I get a build error when I use a 'value change' event on controls of a different type or even a different numeric representation. I'm using LV 7.1 PDA with no other modules installed. Attached is a picture of the entire code and the error message.

    Hi,
    I verified the error that you are seeing. It appears to be a bug hence I have reported it to our developers. Hopefully this bug would be fixed in the next relaese of the PDA module.
    Thank you for pointing this to us. It is through feedback that we can make LabVIEW PDA module even better.

  • Updating a timestamp when a column value changes

    Hi,
    currently i have a table that stores an assigned_to column and an assigned_on column.
    what i would like to do is update the assigned_on column with the systimestamp when the old value of the assigned_to column is not the same as the new value.
    i have tried using a trigger to fire when :new.assigned_on != :old.assigned_on, however, i experience the mutating table problem.
    i have looked around and tried using 3 triggers (before and after row and after statement) in conjunction with the package, however, have not been able to fix it.
    can someone suggest an alternative, short of putting the the assigned_on value into a different table.
    i already have a trigger that is copying the the row across to a log table, but i don't think that is causing the mutation errors.
    your help and suggestions are greatly appreciated in advance.

  • Require field be filled out when other field values change

    I tried to search on something I need to do but couldn't come up with a combination of words to find much.
    I have a situation where, when certain field values on a form are changed, I need a comment field filled in. So if one of the designated field values change and the comment field is NOT filled in, I would like some kind of message indicating that the comment field must be filled in when that field is changed. This would preferably happen when the 'Update' button is pushed on the form. And this would need to happen before the data is submitted.
    This seems to be somewhere between a validation and a Dynamic Action. I'm not sure how to go about creating what I need. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Hopefully I have described the scenario well enough.
    Thanks!
    John

    This did the trick! I created the hidden item, then created a dynamic action that would set the value of the hidden item to 1 if the field changed (action = 'change'). Then I created a validation on my 'comments' field to check if it was NOT NULL when the 'Apply Changes' button was pushed, with a condition of the hidden item = 1.
    One thing extra - I had to set the dynamic action so that it did NOT fire on page load. Otherwise it would set the hidden item to 1 when the page loaded after clicking the "Apply Changes' button.
    So, thanks!
    One other question - I have a lot fields on this form. All of them have this requirement except for a few buttons. Is there any way to list the fields NOT to look for a change. In other words, in the Dynamic Action section, in the WHEN section, is there a way to designate items NOT to look for a change?
    Thanks for the help!

  • How can I detect when a text field changes in Cocoa-Applescript?

    I'm working on an application where I have one text field, and below it, a "Send" button. When the button is pressed, is sends whatever is typed in the field to all the user's Skype contacts. I have to prevent the user from sending a blank message to all contacts, so I have to change the button's setEnabled. I've been using an NSTimer to check every second, which works, but it lags my application hugely. Is there any handler that is run whenever text is added or deleted? Perhaps something like:
    on myTextFieldDidChange_(aNotification)

    A specific text field is not used in the handler call - the delegate method is called for all text fields.  In the case where you have several text fields, you can get the notification's object, for example:
    on controlTextDidChange_(aNotification) -- a text field changed, so check it out
      set thisTextField to aNotification's object() -- the current control being changed
      set theText to thisTextField's stringValue()
      log theText
      -- whatever
    end controlTextDidChange_
    Note that you need to connect the text field's delegate outlet to your AppDelegate (or whatever class you are using for the delegate).

  • Change log needed when item Text is changed via a customised tab in PO

    Hi all,
    In ME21N, ME22N and ME23N we have added a tab CUSTOMERDATA which contains input to enter no. of batches. When ever we enter something, say 1 in the field for no. of batches, this will trigger a FM which will create a batch and update the TEXTS tab at item level with the batch created. This functionality is achieved using the exit EXIT_SAPMM06E_013.
    Now the requirement is whenever the TEXTS tab is updated by means of CUSTOMERDATA tab, I can see that some text is added to the TEXTS tab. Now I want to see this in the change log at item level that text is updated.
    I can see the change log when i manually go to TEXTS tab and change/add something but not when i do it via the CUSTOMERDATA tab.
    Could you please help me how to achieve this.
    Thanks in advance!
    BR,
    Aravind.

    Ok, looks like you haven't received good replies yet, so here's what you need to do.  The difference is that CHANGEDOCUMENT_TEXT_CASE is being called for the application transaction entry but not for your exit-based entry of the texts inside EINKBELEG_WRITE_DOCUMENT.  This means that UPD_ICDTXT_EINKBELEG was not set - you need to make sure the field value is set to 'U' for the call.

  • How to create array of indicators, with the indicators numeric text value changes as it falls above or below the limit

    Hi,
    I am a newbie here. Just started using Labview for my project. Currently having some difficulties over here. Hopefully someone could enlighten me. I wanted to create an array of 60 indicators, where the indicators value are measured from the PCI card. But now the problem is how to make my indicator values in the array change its numeric text color if it falls below or above the limit set. I've attached the vi together with this. Thanks.

  • Trying to auto commit after input text value change

    Hello, I have created a page that contains an input text box. When the user changes something in the input text box, I want to fire off a commit operation.
    As of now, I have valueChangeListener of the inputText set to a method on my managed bean which then grabs the commit operation from my bindings container and executes it.
    At that point, I would expect the changes to a the input text box to be saved after a user modifies it. However, it doesn't seem to be working, because when I refresh the page, the mod I made to the text is not there. The input text still reflects the text that was there before I made a change.
    Anyone know what's happening here?? And how I can make it work?

    Hi Timo,
    Thanks for the response. I tried that, and my commit function in my bean was getting called, but the data still wasnt "REALLY" getting saved.
    I had to bind my input text to a property in managed bean, and call
    inputText.processUpdates(FacesContext.getCurrentInstance());
    doCommit(); // method that simply calls the commit method in my binding container, and does a few other things.
    For simplicity I just bound the panel that all my input components were child of. In this case it was a DecorativeBox. So I bound the DecorativeBox to my bean and just did
    decBox.processUpdates(....)
    doCommit();
    That way all my child input components were updated before the commit took place. That seemed to do the trick nicely (-;

  • N- Step PO Approval only when Value Change

    Hi ,
       I am in SRM 5.5, I have a requirement that PO N-step workflow should only trigger when the PO value changed not any other changes, is it possible ? Please give me some details about this if possible
    John.

    Hello John,
    You also could use in the start conditions (SWB_COND):
    EC Purchase Order.Total Value Incrsd   - here you could check, if the value increased
    EC Purchase Order.Total Value Diff.    - here you check, if there is a difference to the original amount
    Both of the above starting conditions you could use in the event of 'CREATED' (new PO) or 'CHANGED' (amended PO).
    Give it a try.

  • LV7: how to catch 'Value change' event for cursor position in XY graph?

    I try to catch an event when the cursor position of a graph's cursor
    changes. I created a reference for the cursor array and registered a dynamic
    event 'Value change' for it. The event does not fire when the cursor changes
    (either by dragging it with the mouse or by direct entry of a new value in
    the cursor's X or Y fields. In contrast, when I register e.g. the 'Mouse Up'
    event for the cursor array, the event IS detected.
    -Franz

    So this is the same behaviour as that of a regular control which also does
    not fire a 'Value changed' event when it gets updated by e.g. writing to a
    local.
    At least the cursor's behavior is consistent then...
    But unfortunately also the direct user interaction with the cursor's numeric
    field does not fire the event, which is NOT consistent.
    I was trying to catch cursor changes in my event loop and had used a 'Mouse
    Up' event of the graph indicator to look for cursor changes (whose last
    position I had kept in a local or shift reg). In order not to miss a direct
    user interaction in the numeric field I added the dynamic event 'Value
    change' to the same event case, but with no success, it missed the direct
    entry ...
    according to what you say this seems to b
    e a bug then...

  • Numeric value changed to scientific notation when export to excel

    Hi All,
    I have a value like 200077776666 in af:table , it's a bank account number.
    when I use exportCollectionActionListener export the table to excel,the number shows as 2.00078E+11.
    I have tried the following methods:
    1.change the outputText's converter to javax.faces.Character , it does not work.
    2.change the value #{row.AccountNumber} to '#{row.AccountNumber},which has a ' in front , and the excel file will show the value with a obviously ' at front.
    How can I make it just show as 200077776666 in excel file ?
    version: Jdev11.1.2
    Thanks!

    Message was edited by: PhHein

    User, please don't use this very big, fat font to write your posts. This make it really hard to read (on tablets or phones).
    What is the data type of the cell in the af:table? Is it a number? In this case an easy solution would be to change the data type of the underlying eo/vo to string. If you can't do this you can add a transient attribute in the eo (or vo if you don't have a eo) which returns the account number as string.
    Exporting this attribute should give you the desired result.
    If this does not help you can use POI which lets you write navtive excel files.

  • MT940 - How to change the text value in AC doc created through EBS

    Dear All,
    I would like to know how can we manipulate the payee details sent by the Bank so that unncessary things are removed from the text of the accounting document created through EBS posting (FF_5)
    My bank statement has the below lines
    :61:1001200120CX50,00FBGCNONREF//
    :86:999/00BGCMDIR  5735826JAN185635826
    After running the program the I see the below values
    FEBRE-VWEZW :  999/00BGCMDIR  5735826JAN165635826
    FEBEP-CHECT : NONREF
    BSEG-SGTXT  : NONREF 999/00BGCMDIR 5735826JAN185635826
    I think, text value in the ac document is the concatenation of FEBEP-CHECT & FEBRE-VWEZW.
    However I dont want FEBEP-CHECT & few initial chacters of FEBRE-VWEZW in my accounting document text. I would like the text to be  MDIR 5735826JAN185635826
    Can anyone please suggest how this can be achieved?
    Thanks in advance.
    Krishna

    Hi.
    One of the solutions is (taken from another source):
    As of Release 4.70, there is a Business Add-In (BADI) with the definition name FEB_BADI that is called immediately before the standard posting in program RFEBBU00. In this case, you can change the procedure of the standard posting or make additional account assignments by changing the tables that are to be transferred to the posting interface (FTPOST, FTCLEAR). To do this, go to the SAP menu and follow the path Tools->ABAP-Workbench->Business Add-ins, create an enhancement that you assign to the FEB_BADI BAdI and then implement the CHANGE_POSTING_DATA method.
    When you activate the BAdI, you receive a message, telling you that the active implementation of this BAdI already exists. If you do not use the public sector industry solution, you can deactivate the active BAdI of the IBS_PS area and activate your own implementation.
    Best regards,
    Yuri.

  • Event Structure's value change, not detecting changes when tabbing thru array of clusters

    Hi!  I have an array of clusters (int, int, string, int) control, and want to detecting changes made to the it.  I used the Event Structure's value change case on the array, it works excellent except that it'll only detect the changes when you click out of the element or press the enter key (the one by the numbers, not carriage return).  I want it to detect the changes when I tab thru the cluster or array too, but I can't figure it out... Does anyone have any ideas?
