SmartForms Multiple Columns

I am trying to convert a sapscript form which allows two columns similar to newspaper columns. When the first column fills up, the second column is used until it is full and a page break occurs. Any ideas on how to do this in SmartForms would be appreciated.

Hi Buster,
I know it can be achieved in Sapscripts via defining multipe main windows on sape page and when first use to call second main window and so on. I have used this kind of Sapscript in Sticker printing for our inventory department.
In Smartforms you cannot have multiple Main windows per page, so above solution is not feasible.
But here is what i suggest.
Create a main Window for the first column of the page and crate a Secondary Window for second column and set its condition to "Only after end of Main window". So when data is full in Main window it will call secondary window and start printing it from top of secondary window.
Hope it helps.

Comparison of multiple column values with a single column value

I have two separate tables say Tab1 and Tab2
I want to select some datas , which is common to both the tables.
In tab1 , there is a column 'STATE' and it's value is 'A'
In tab2, there are multiple columns for the state, say STATE_A,STATE_B, STATE_C ETC and a row is present with the following details
STATE_A = 1, STATE_B =1 ,STATE_C =0,STATE_D=1
I need to select STATE when STATE_A ='1',
if my STATE='B', this STATE has to be selected since STATE_B =' 1', similraly
if my STATE='D', this STATE has to be selected since STATE_D =' 1',
If my STATE='C', STATE_C should not get selected since it's '0'.
Is it possible to do this in a single SELECT statement, where I have some other checks also or else how can I achieve it?

Maybe this will help
Select * from STATE_MAS ;
STATE
A
B
D
F
H
Select * from STATE_CHILD
STATE_A STATE_B STATE_C STATE_D STATE_E STATE_F STATE_G STATE_H STATE_I STATE_J
1 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION GET_STATE (P_VAL VARCHAR) RETURN NUMBER IS
V_SQL VARCHAR2(200);
V_COL VARCHAR2(35);
P_RETURN NUMBER ;
BEGIN
V_COL := 'STATE_'||P_VAL;
V_SQL := 'SELECT 1 FROM STATE_CHILD WHERE '||V_COL||' = 1 ';
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE V_SQL INTO P_RETURN ;
RETURN P_RETURN ;
END;
SELECT STATE FROM STATE_MAS
WHERE GET_STATE(STATE) = 1 ;
STATE

JTextAreaCellRenderer to wrap text in multiple columns... any better way?

I would like to use a basic JTextArea cell renderer to wrap the text in a JTable cell, like in this thread
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=664671&messageID=3893724
Although the technique works, a disadvantage is that it cannot be used "as is" for multiple columns due to the setRowHeight/revalidate issue. One suggested workaround was to keep track of the maximum row height, as described here:
http://www.javaspecialists.co.za/archive/newsletter.do?issue=106
Both seem a bit rough. Are there any other options or more efficient techniques for automatically wrapping text in a JTable cell?

Hello, did you search online? there are many tutorials like this one: http://www.photoshopessentials.com/photoshop-text/text-effects/text-wrap/
You simply create a path, substract the parts you do not need, then click with the text tool inside.
Note that it is not a dynamic text wrap, you need to change it if you move the objects around.

How to link Excel Chart with multiple columns dynamically?

Hi all,
I have one problem. I have an excel chart which has to read data from multiple columns for it's X-axis values (time stamps) and the same number of values for it's Y-axis from multiple columns. See figure attached.
Now, you can do this by manually assigning values by holding control key to tell the chart that data from many columns is continued from the first column. i.e, a long data is distributed along may columns. This is done very easily manually.
Now, how to do it at runtime through LabVIEW 8.0?
Although, I have done it through labview when there where only two columns, A and B streching up to any length. But, now to save space we are dumping into many columns in the same page and want the chart plot that data as we dump it.
It is tough since I don't know how to assign SourceData of the chart through labview.
I have attached chart's SourceData picture.
Hope you all can solve my problem.
The Y-axis values are: =(good!$B$30:$B$70,good!$D$30:$D$70,good!$F$30:$F$70,good!$H$30:$H$70,good!$B$71:$B$140,good!$D$71:$D$140,good!$F$71:$F$140,good!$H$71:$H$140,good!$B$141:$B$189)
good is the name of the file.
The X- axis values are: =(good!$A$30:$A$70,good!$C$30:$C$70,good!$E$30:$E$70,good!$G$30:$G$70,good!$A$71:$A$140,good!$C$71:$C$140,good!$E$71:$E$140,good!$G$71:$G$140,good!$A$141:$A$189)
See the columns vary from A to F.
I have still not got what I love.....

Crystal Report multiple columns

I'm having trouble with Crystal Report's multiple columns in the detail section.
The details section, the multiple columns is checked then the printing direction is across - down. Since the form I am using is a pre-printed form, by estimation it can only allow at best 30 records in one page, that is 15 in the 1st half of the column and another 15 records on the next. For visual:
Invoice No    Invoice Date        invoice total                                               Invoice No    Invoice Date        invoice total
1                                                                                16
2                                                                                17
3                                                                                .
.                                                                                28
14                                                                                29
15                                                                                30
For some reason there is this giant space after the last set of rows before it prints out the page footer. This giant blank section disrupts the layout of the page footer section.
Here are some info on the details section as configuration is involved:
Format with Multiple Columns - checked
In Paging: New Page after 30 visible Records
In Layout: Width: 3.5 in       Height: 0.0 in
                 Horizontal: 0.0 in      Vertical: 0.0 in
Printing Direction: Across-Down
Anyone knows how to suppress it or have the page footer move upwards?
P.S To see actual pre-printed form, please download this [http://www.mediafire.com/i/?csu0q75mjynys2k]

Now why didn't I try that out. Actually, initial plan was 2 subreports.
So when I added the second subreport in the group footer section, it only prints the details on the last page, which should not be the case as I need to be printed on all pages.
I'll test it out. I'll post an update soon.
Thanks.

Format on multiple columns issue ...

Post Author: needhelptoo
CA Forum: Formula
I'm having issues with the way the data is displaying.I am using the Format Multiple Columns.I have 3 across set.I have the Down and Across checked.My report with the 3 columns is a custom labels sheet.I need to have the down part always be 8 columns.i can't set that anywhere like the 3 columns across.as the sheet used to print the info are labels and perforated for each label (column)I have the following:1.
Group Header #1 on InvoiceNumber. This have my invoice header
information related to the customer of the invoice. Keep Together
selected.2. Group Header #2 on a formula {@sort}. This is suppressed and as a {@reset} formula in it.3. Details section has {@accum} and section suppressed. Keep Together selected.4. Group Footer #2 as the {@display} formula with Paragraph Formatting. Keep Together selected.5. Group Footer #1 on InvoiceNumber has add'l customer related info for the invoice.so 5 sections in my design view with 2 groups.It'll display the information in InvoiceNumber order in ascending order down first.But the last one on the 1st column is only part of the invoice info and the rest of it starts from the top of the 2nd column.and
then shifts all the columns according to that. Which of course then
does not print on the allotted space of the actual label. part of info
is on one and the rest on another.obviously this won't work. I think i tried everything I can think of and I'm not expert. Barely a novice at this.any help would be appreciated!

In the layout tab, have you tried the Gap between details ?, you should be able to produce a "mailing label type" report using detail size and gap between details...

I am unable to sort multiple columns in a table created in Pages.

I had been using Appleworks up until I installed Lion and have now switched to iWork. I created a table within a Pages document and am able to sort a single column (using the Table Inspector and choosing Sort from Edit Rows and Columns) but the Sort option is grayed out when I attempt to sort multiple columns.
In another post, someone talked about this being a problem if you have merged fields. I do not believe I have done this (to be honest I don't know the function of merging fields).
This is very frustrating as I was easily able to sort these tables in Appleworks.

Thanks for your quick response! I have been trying that but then found that Numbers would only let me print in landscape view so I had to paste the table back into Pages. Is there a way to print in portrat view (from Numbers?)
Not so. In the lower left corner of the window, there's an icon that looks like a piece of paper. If you see this:
you are in Sheet View, or normal, mode. If you see this:
You are in Print View mode. Now you see the icons for portrait and landscape modes. Click your choice. Then arrange your content to fit the pages as you wish.

Master-detail list - how to spread over multiple columns

I am using the master-detail functionality to create a image viewer.
I have a long list of master thumbnails, and rather than having them go down the page in one column, I would like to make them spread over 2 or 3 columns before the detail column.
(example of format I am trying to achieve - http://www.franbainbridgephotography.com.au/gallery.html (I dont mind whether master thumbnails are on right or left of detail photo))
You can see my problem on http://www.wcwra.com/webpages/images.php
Is this possible with the master-detail functionality?
Thank you!

The brilliant David Powers has fixed this for me on the main forum (vw2ureg was v close). David's answer is :
There is no way of making a single dataset repeat in multiple columns, because it's simply one element being repeated over and over.
However, with a little out of the box thinking, you can do it quite easily with thumbnails. Instead of putting the master column repeat region in a block level element, use an inline element, <span>. Images are treated by browsers as inline elements, so this should work just fine. Change the following code from this:
<div spry:region="dsPhotos" class="MasterContainer">
    <div class="MasterColumn" spry:repeat="dsPhotos" spry:setrow="dsPhotos"
    spry:hover="MasterColumnHover" spry:select="MasterColumnSelected">{Caption}</div>
</div>
to this:
<div spry:region="dsPhotos" class="MasterContainer">
    <span class="MasterColumn" spry:repeat="dsPhotos" spry:setrow="dsPhotos"
    spry:hover="MasterColumnHover" spry:select="MasterColumnSelected">{Caption}</span>
</div>
In your CSS, set the width of the MasterColumn class to the width of your thumbnails, and the width of MasterContainer so that it's wide enough to accommodate two or more thumbnails. The thumbnails will flow into the column two or three abreast.

How to use a USER_DATASTORE to index multiple columns in different tables

I would appreciate if somebody can give an example or point to links with examples on how to use USER_DATASTORE on multiple columns in different tables. THe Oracle Text documentation only shows multiple columns in the same table.
Thanks in advance.

I am not sure why your getting the wrong results but you should seriously reconsider the approach your are taking. Using functions like this is very ineffecient and should be avoided at all cost.

How do i print multiple columns on 1 page in numbers

I think I am over thinking this but I have confused myself. I am using Numbers to create a spreadsheet of family names with their corresponding number. I would like to print multiple columns of names on one page to save paper but I can't figure how to do it. Will someone please help me???

Hi BestMommy,
Here is one way. Don't mess with your database. Create a new table for printing.
Database with a Header Row (named Table 1 as an example) might look like this:
Name
1
Name 1
2
Name 2
3
Name 3
4
Name 4
5
Name 5
6
Name 6
7
Name 7
8
Name 8
9
Name 9
10
Name 10
11
Name 11
12
Name 12
13
Name 13
14
Name 14
15
Name 15
New table for printing:
Name
Name
1
Name 1
8
Name 8
2
Name 2
9
Name 9
3
Name 3
10
Name 10
4
Name 4
11
Name 11
5
Name 5
12
Name 12
6
Name 6
13
Name 13

Formula in A2
=Table 1::A2
Formula in B2
=Table 1::B2
Formula in C2
=Table 1::A9
Formula in D2
=Table 1::B9
So it loops back from the bottom of a page to start a new column.
I made this example small for the pics, but obviously you could have more rows and columns per page.
Having created your table for printing, select it, Cut, add a new sheet and Paste. Print just that sheet.
Have a look at 'More Like This' at the bottom of this page. Trying to format page to print table in two columns Jerry suggests using Pages instead of Numbers.
Regards,
Ian.
Edit: Having created your table for printing, select it, Cut, add a new sheet and Paste. Print just that sheet. Ian.

How do I create multiple columns with bullets in pages

I'm trying to figure out how to create multiple columns within a document in which I bullet information...

At the point you wish to change to two columns, Insert > Columns and then in the Layout Inspector, select the number of columns. After the insertion point, you will also need to insert another Column Change to return the following paragraphs to single column.
Then Select the text to be bulleted and in the Text Inspector > List tab select the type of bullets.
Note: This creates two columns that flow together. This can be tricky if you add any text later.
If you wish to ensure alignment, create a two column text table and remove the lines with the Graphic Inspector > Lines > No Lines option and insert your text in each column and apply the bullets as above.
This will create a text box - you then need to ensure it moves with the text by electing "Object Moves With Text" in the Wrpa Inspector.

Multiple Column Report Question

Post Author: LCS213
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I'm creating a student transcript report that has multiple columns, and is three groups deep. The first two groups need to be in a columnar layout. However, I'd like the third group to contain a subreport that spans the width of the entire page.
Are there any options within Crystal XI to do this? I know in the Section Expert, i can format the detail level with multiple columns, and on the Layout tab, I can select "Format Groups with multiple columns". But that seems like it either formats ALL groups or NO groups. Am I mistaken? Is there a workaround I'm missing?
Thanks in advance for any help on this issue!

Hi Dan,
According to your description, we are not clear about the “6 sections for each Additional task”. Do you mean six data records? If so, based on my understanding, there are three groups and eighteen records in your report. You want to make those records appear
on eighteen separated pages, right?
In Reporting Service, we can add a page break to groups within data regions to control the amount of information on each page. In your scenario, you should add page break to group “Sub task”, group “Additional Task” and details. As we tested in our environment,
add page break to these records, the report appears in eighteen pages. Please refer to steps below:
1.On Group Properties of Details1, choose “Between each instance of a group” option on Page Breaks page. Please refer to screenshot below:
Choose same option on Group Properties for group “Month” and “Name”.
2.Click drop-down button next to Column Groups, then choose Advanced Mode.
3.Click on Static under Row Groups, set RepeatOnNewPage as True in Tablix Member Properties.
4.Click Preview, the results before and after adding page break look like below:
If you still have any question, please post some detail information or screenshot about the report design you expect.

order by

I would store it as a date column and add a check constraint to ensure that the date is always the first of the month, then format it out as you wish to the client.
