Show Rows Where Two Columns have Same Data

Hello,
I have a spreadsheet that I need to sort by showing me all the rows where the data is equal between two columns.
I.E. I have a column called Last Name and I have another column, U, with some of those Last Names, I want to sort the spreadsheet to show me only the rows that match up with the same Last Name in coumn a and U.
Thanks for any help.

To sort the table:
Add two columns to the table. For this discussion, I'll refer to them as columns AA and AB.
In AA2, enter: =ROW()
Fill to the bottom of the table. With all f these cells selected, Copy, then Edit > Paste Values.
This gives you a column you can sort by to restore the original order of the table.
In AB2, enter: =IF(A=U,U," ") using option-space between the double quotes.
Visually, this will repeat the duplicated names once more in column AB.
An ascending sort on column AB will bring all rows with duplicate data in columns A and U to the top of the table.
For greater visibility You might also add a conditional format rule to all of column AB, as I've done here for column D:
The box to the right of "Text doesn't contain" contains a single 'option-space' character. The ascending sort (on column D) has not yet been done.

How to filter rows where multiple columns meet criteria, ignoring rows where only some columns meet criteria

Hi All,
Question: How do I filter rows out of a query where multiple columns are equal to a single question mark character?
Background: I'm using SQL 2008 R2. Furthermore, the part of my brain that helps me create less-than-simple queries hasn't been working for the last 4 days, apparently, and now I need help.
We have about 4,000 rows in a table. This data set was generated from an exported report, and many of the rows in the detail table were not actual data rows but were simply "header" rows. For those table rows, most of the columns have
a single question mark as the value.
Some of the detail rows have one or more question mark values, too, so it's important that these rows don't get filtered out.
When I include criteria like "WHERE col1 <> '?' AND col2 <> '?' AND col3 <> '?' AND col4 <> '?'", all rows with a question mark value for even a single one of those columns get filtered out. How do I filter out rows
where all columns 1-4 contain a question mark value?
Thanks for your help,
Eric

I just tried to create to create a scenario for you. Please see ig you're looking for something like this.
Create table test_Question_mark
RecordID INT identity(1,1),
Col1 varchar(10),
Col2 varchar(10),
Col3 varchar(10),
Col4 varchar(10),
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','?','?','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','??','?','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','??','??','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('??','??','??','??')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('?','?','?','?')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('??','test ??','??','??')
insert into test_Question_mark (Col1, Col2, Col3, col4) values ('??','test ?','??','??')
--drop table test_Questio_mark
select * from test_Question_mark
select * from test_Question_mark
WHERE
(CHARINDEX('?', Col1,1) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col1, CHARINDEX('?', Col1,1)+1) = 0) AND
(CHARINDEX('?', Col2) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col2, CHARINDEX('?', Col2,1)+1) = 0) AND
(CHARINDEX('?', Col3,1) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col3, CHARINDEX('?', Col3,1)+1) = 0) AND
(CHARINDEX('?', Col4,1) > 0 AND CHARINDEX('?', Col4, CHARINDEX('?', Col4,1)+1) = 0)
--drop table test_Questio_mark
I hope above solution will help.
Thanks!

I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is unique. How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data) and then upgrade?

I want to upgrade iOS from 5 to 6, but when I go to synch everything in preparation, it tells me I will lose all my stuff on the iPhone and iPad which is/are unique. How can I backup or do a "real synch" (both sides have same data at end of process) and then upgrade?

You should really read the manual.
"How do you restore from backup? "
Restore. When given the choice, choose to use backup.
"And how can I check to see if the pics and videos are on my computer somewhere first??"
They would only be where you put them. What program did you use to import them? Pics/vids taken with ipod are not part of the sync process at all. You should be importing them just as you would with any digital camera.
If you did not import them, then they are not on your computer.

[svn] 4323: Bug: LCDS-544 - Scenario where two components have seperate channel sets with overlapping channels not working .

Log Message:
Bug: LCDS-544 - Scenario where two components have seperate channel sets with overlapping channels not working.
QA: Yes
Doc: No
Checkintests Pass: Yes
Details:
* Hunting to a new channel within a channelset never triggered a disconnect from the previous channel(s). This isn't a problem in general, but does becomes a problem when an app defines two distinct channelsets containing at least one shared channel at the head of the list. In this case, the first channelset hunts past it and connects on a later channel. But when the second channelset hunts through (triggering a connect fault when it hits that initial shared channel that can't connect), the fault is processed by the first channelset as well (incorrectly).
Ticket Links:

Running the script by python2 solves it for me:

The title you chose for this thread is
List of dept where all employees have same age
but I don't see anything about age in the description of the problem. This is one example why you need to post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements) and the results you want from that data, as detailed in the forum FAQ: https://forums.oracle.com/message/9362002
As mentioned before, post your best attempt at a solution.
Did you mix up 2 separate problems from the same homework assignment? If so, solve the problem about the particular city first; it's a little simpler.

How could JNDI differentiate two ejb have same jndi name but on difference

how could JNDI differentiate two ejb have same jndi name but on difference server
suppose that:
we have two J2EE Server those are Server1 and server2, and both of them have a ejb named Test deployed on it, and I need a java client maybe it is a java Application, servlet or ejb in server1 to get the reference to the ejb name Test, how to use JNDI to get the reference to both of them. those two ejb have same name but on difference server. how could the java client locate them?

You've hit problem #1 in the alleged scalability of EJB containers.
Basically, the whole setup assumes that you're only dealing with one naming service. The expectation is that a given name is bound to a single object, which in this case is the Home interface.
Some systems support clustering, which can allow you to get round this, but the details will depend on you EJB container vendor,

Update multiple rows based on two columns in same row

I have a 1000 rows in a table I would like to update with a unique value. This unique value is a cocatenation of two columns in teh same row.
Each row has a (i) date and a (ii) time and a (iii) date_time column. I would like to update the date_time (iii) column with a cocatenation of the (i) date and (ii) time columns.
I know how I would update a single row but how can I update multiple rows with a cocatenation of each of the two columns - i.e put a different value into the date_time column for each row?

this?
update table tab_name
set date_time =date||time

Deleting from multiple tables where few tables have same column name

Hi,
I am new to PL/SQL and need some help. I need to delete data older then X years from some 35 odd tables in my schema and out of those tables 25 tables have same column name on which i can have my "where" clause and rest 10 table have different table names. I am doing something like this :
declare
table_list UTL_FILE.FILE_TYPE;
string_line VARCHAR2(1000);
tables_count number:=0;
table_name VARCHAR2(400);
column_name VARCHAR2(400);

DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(table_list);
LOOP
UTL_FILE.GET_LINE(table_list,string_line);
table_name := substr(string_line,1, instr(string_line,'|')-1);
column_name := substr(string_line, instr(string_line,'|')+1);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(table_name);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE(column_name);
IF column_name = 'SUBMISSION_TIME' THEN
delete from :table_name where to_date(:column_name)<(sysdate-(365*7));
ELSE
delete from || table_name || where ( || to_date(column_name) || ) <(sysdate-(365*7));
END IF;
END LOOP;
EXCEPTION
WHEN NO_DATA_FOUND THEN
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(table_list);
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('Number of Tables processed is : ' || tables_count);
UTL_FILE.FCLOSE(table_list);
END;
WHERE the text file "text7.txt" contains list of table name and column names separated by a pipe line. But when I execute the above proc it gives error "invalid table name".
Can something like this be done or is there any other way to execute this task of deletion from 35 tables.
Thanks.

Thanks for replies. I don't know what I am doing wrong but still not getting this damn thing work...This is the proc i am running now :
declare

IF column_name = 'SUBMISSION_TIME' THEN
DBMS_OUTPUT.PUT_LINE('do nothing');
ELSE

Show Report In Two Columns

Apex 3.2
I have a report and it has 1 column and 22 rows.
At the moment, I show the first 15 rows and then you must paginate.
The report will not grow much, may be to 30 rows.
Is there a way to display the first 15 rows in 1 column and the second in another column, side by side etc

This is a presentation problem so the correct place to solve it is in the presentation layer using CSS. CSS3 introduces multiple column layouts, but this feature is only supported in recent browser versions—in particular requiring IE10+ in standards mode, which I suspect will be a problem as (a) you're not likely to be using IE10, and (b) APEX 3.2 themes aren't HTML5 and won't trigger standards mode (and aren't likely to be fully compatible even if forced to).
Nonetheless, I think it's a technique that's worth demonstrating (if only for me to get some experience of using it), before considering an alternative option using interleaved row ordering and CSS floats that might be of more immediate use to you.
Start with a standard report using a basic query on the [OE]HR EMPLOYEES table:
select
    first_name
, last_name
, phone_number
from
    oehr_employees
order by
    last_name
, first_name
The appropriate structure for a single column report with a predefined sort order is an ordered list, so we create a custom generic row report template, as a copy of the Standard report template with the following modifications:
Before Rows
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" id="report_#REGION_STATIC_ID#" class="pagination-container">
#TOP_PAGINATION#
</table>
<ol class="single-value-list" #REPORT_ATTRIBUTES#>
Before Each Row
<li>
Column Template 1
#COLUMN_VALUE#
After Each Row
</li>
After Rows
</ul>
<div class="t17CVS">#EXTERNAL_LINK##CSV_LINK#</div>
<table cellpadding="0" border="0" cellspacing="0" class="pagination-container">
#PAGINATION#
</table>
This report template is generic enough to be used in both solutions, and although it appears you don't need pagination in the solution, I've retained it to provide more flexibility and because it involves an interesting problem in creating balanced columns on the last page in the interleaved row order option.
As the template only displays one column per row, and to exercise the column layout break properties, all of the table columns are hidden and we create a derived column that uses an HTML Expression containing some hCard microformat markup to make the list item content span 2 lines:
<div class="vcard">
<span class="fn n"><span class="given-name">#FIRST_NAME# <span class="family-name">#LAST_NAME#</span></span>
<div class="tel">#PHONE_NUMBER#</div>
</div>
We can then implement some basic list/hCard formatting using CSS:
Basic list/hCard formatting common to both CSS3 multi-column and interleaved rows/CSS float solutions
ol {
margin-left: 0;
padding-left: 0;
width: 44em;
white-space: nowrap;
list-style-type: square;
ol li {
    margin: 0 0 0.5em 2em;
.vcard .family-name {
font-weight: 600;
text-transform: uppercase;
The CSS3 multi-column rules used in the first report region are pretty straightforward, although they have to take account of the current level of browser support by using vendor-specific properties where appropriate:
CSS3 multi-column formatting
.multi-col ol {
/* Safari/Chrome/Opera */
-webkit-column-count: 2;
-webkit-column-gap: 0;
/* Firefox */
-moz-column-count: 2;
-moz-column-gap: 0;
/* IE10+ */
column-count: 2;
column-gap: 0;
.multi-col ol li {
    -webkit-column-break-inside: avoid;
    -moz-column-break-inside: avoid;
    break-inside: avoid;
    /* Workaround for FF as break-inside doesn't work. */
    page-break-inside: avoid;
For the interleaved row ordering workaround used in the second report, the query has to be modified to calculate the page each row will appear on, and the position in each column on the page it will occupy:
with emps_ordered_unique as (
    select
-- If you need distinct rows then just restrict them at the start
        distinct
        first_name
      , last_name
      , phone_number
      , row_number()
          over (
            order by last_name, first_name) row#
    from
        oehr_employees
    order by
        last_name
      , first_name)
, emps_interleaved as (
      select
          first_name
        , last_name
        , phone_number
        , row#
          -- 30 is overall number of rows per page
        , ceil(row# / 30) page#
          -- 30 is overall number of rows per page; 15 maximum number of rows per column
        , mod(row# - 1, least(ceil(count(*) over (partition by ceil(row# / 30)) / 2), 15)) col_row#
      from
          emps_ordered_unique)
select
    first_name
, last_name
, phone_number
from
    emps_interleaved
order by
    page#
, col_row#
, row#
The trick here is to interleave the rows, with those that have the same position in each column appearing in pairs so that they can be laid out side-by-side using element widths and CSS floats.
The CSS for this report is:
Interleaved rows/CSS float formatting
#interleaved .pagination-container {
clear: both;
#interleaved ol {
#interleaved ol li {
    float: left;
    width: 20em;
The drawback with the latter option is that although the list entries are visually ordered down and across the columns, they are not semantically ordered thus in the HTML markup, so any user perceiving the list without this CSS (for example via a screenreader, or a mobile device with an alternative style sheet) gets the list in a weird order. For that reason I probably wouldn't use this approach. At present I'd implement the CSS3 multi-column approach as a progressive enhancement for users with up-to-date browsers, and allow it to gracefully degrade to a basic 1-column list in legacy versions.

PO Line column displaying same data

Hello,
I have created a custom .rtf for the Standard PO.
When previewing the pdf in iSupplier one of the columns (attribute1 from PO_LINES) is displays the same data when a PO has multiple lines. I currently have the following in the BI Properties for the Data Field
PO_DATA\PO_LINES\ATTRIBUTE1.
(We were experiencing another issue with no data displaying at all prior to putting this file path in)
ATTRIBUTE1 (aka Column dispaly name- DOD Rating) either displays DOA4 data or DOX9 data. If this Puchase Order has multiple lines and all lines contain DOD rating information when previewing the PDF all the lines will display the data from Line 1.
Example:
Have an approved Purchase Order with two Lines. In Isupplier the PO displays two lines with different data for DoD Rating:
Line 1 - DOA4
Line 2 - DOX9
When previewing PDF both lines in pdf show DOA4 for theDOD rating column.
Has anyone come across this or know of any way to resolve this?
Any information is greatly appreciated!!!
Thanks,
Jessica

I have seen details in BBP_PD :-
For first PO its displaying workflow status complete & Document Completed. Its fine.
For the successive PO's - Status is Transfer Failed (E.Sys). But workflow status is complete.
I have checked the external number range at SRM and ECC side too.
At SRM side ,Number range set up for PO
From Number 7000000000 To Number 7999999999 Current Number 7000063059
At ECC ,Number range set uo for PO
No - 70, From Number 7000000000 To NUmber 7099999999 Current Number 'Blank'
External munber range is set at ECC for SRM PO.
There is no overlaps for the different document type PO range .
Kindly Advice.

Fluid grid website is showing up as two-columns even on very large monitors in IE10

In Firefox and Chrome, the website looks and functions just fine. However, viewing on the same large monitors in Internet Explorer, the webpages are broken up into two columns. To see what I mean, the site is www.PixelHallPress.com

Yes, I use code view and I put the tags you suggested exactly where you had suggested. No, I am not a coder, but I'm pretty good at following directions. Yes, I've been known to make mistakes. Most of the time it's because I know a little code, but not enough to keep myself from getting into trouble (or help get out of it).
The thing is that this website has been behaving just fine for about a year. It works fine in other browsers. IE is the only problem. I tried applying the template from two earlier versions that I know worked previously, and they too are having the display problem in IE
I'm no longer getting that error code, by the way. However, when I place <body> then </body> tags I get an error message that I have an unbalanced body tag. I wonder if the fluid grid template creates its own version of a body tag.
One variable: The host has migrated the site to a new server. Could this have introduced some errors?
I appreciate your advice. Thanks, Sally

PowerView - 1 Workbook; 2 Data Sources(one linked to SQL and one a table inside excel); Both have same data set but Counts are Different

Hi Everyone,
Hopefully someone might have an explanation for the difference in counts.
Problem:
Excel 2013 on Windows 7
A Single excel spreadsheet with 2 data sources:
One created using "From Other Sources on the DATA tab which connects to SQL Server"
Second data source the same data as item 1, but in a differnet worksheet tab inside the workbook
[Sheet1] - Other SQL data Source
[Sheet2] - Exact Same data as Sheet1 but in a table
[PowerView] - 2 tables
Table one uses Sheet1 as its table data source
Table two uses Sheet2 as its table data source
When you Count(Not Blank) using the same criteria and fields for each table, the numbers dont match.
The one that has the incorrect count is when I use the Table data from [Sheet1] - which is the Other SQL Data Source
Testing:
I also created a standard pivot table using Excel and the counts then are both correct for both datasources. So it must be something in PowerView????
Any ideas anyone...

G/L A/C OUTSTANDING SHOWING CLEARED IN ALL ITEMS ON SAME DATE

Dear Expert
G/L A/C outstanding documents are showing cleared transactions in all items category
using the same date in FBL1N.
To illustrate in detail when we click on the radio button with
open item with date 17.11.2009 i m getting certain uncleared
documents, now when I am using the radio button with all items with
same date i m getting all those docs which were uncleared showing
cleared.While in the database documents are showing in BSAK table only.
What are the causes for the same .
Thanks - Viral

The items that you are questioning most likely were cleared after 17.11.2009. When you run FBL1N for open items with key date 17.11.2009, SAP will show you all items that were open as of that date - even if the items have since been cleared. When you run FBL1N for all items, their clearing status is displayed as of the current date. For example, if an item was cleared on 18.11.2009, then it was open as of 17.11.2009, but is cleared as of today.

Create ViewCriteria comparing two columns from same table

Does anyone know how I can create a ViewCriteria where clause that compares two columns from the same table?
For example if I had two integer columns (MINSAL and MAXSAL) and wanted to see if they are equal. I would normally do the following SQL below.
SELECT * FROM EMPL
WHERE MINSAL = MAXSAL

It works, but it is not ideal.
Setup a Transient column that performs a groovy evaluation of MINSAL=MAXSAL and then my ViewCriteria evaluates the column to true and I set Query Execution Mode to Both.
