Sort by Last column

Hello
I want to sort in descending order by sales and 2005
     Calyear
         2002     2003   2004     2005
Material1     2          5566     400
Material2          5     5     300
Material3                    200
Material4     700          200     100
How its possible?
Pints are guaranteed!

Hi Aleksandrs,
If you use a structure for the CALYEAR and have the offests..
You could specify the exact column you want the condition on..
Hope this helps
Ashish..

How to get last column used in report sorting?

hi,
how to get last column used in report sorting?

How to identifiy which column was sorted having different reports on page?
just use:
'YOUR_STATIC_REGION_NAME' instead of p_static_id,
:APP_ID for p_app_id,
:APP_PAGE_ID for p_page_id
:APP_USER_ID for p_app_user.
and dont forget to grant SELECT on #OWNER# to APEX_030200.WWV_FLOW_PREFERENCES$
good luck and thank you Juergen.Schuster

I have downloaded and installed the latest version of numbers on my mac. Everytime I save and then try to reopen that document, I receive a message telling me that I need a new version of numbers. Also, when I try to sort the date column, it sorts out of order. The last version sorted fine.

Welcome to Apple Support Communities
When you install the new iWork version, the old iWork version is kept, so it looks like you are opening your old version.
To fix this, open a Finder window, choose Applications in the sidebar and drag the new Numbers version to the Dock, so you can access to it quickly. Open all documents from this version. I don't recommend you to delete the old Numbers version in case you need it.
Respecting to the second question, you will get better answers in the Numbers for OS X forum

How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name (using v 31.3.0).

After a computer crash, I had to load Thunderbird (v31.3.0) back into my machine running Windows 8.1, and I successfully imported my address book back up file into Thunderbird (v31.3.0).
My problem is that I don't see an option to sort the address book by "Last" name, which was available with the version of Thunderbird I had before the crash.
How can I get the address book to sort by "Last" name?

In 'Address Book'
Select address book
'View' > 'Show name as' > 'Last/First'
The you can sort by Name.
Either click on 'Name' column header to change sort order,
If reversed, then click on 'Name' column header again to reverse the order.
Or
'View' > 'Sort By' > choose 'Name' and 'Ascending'

How to enforce always sorting on a column in a TableView?

Hello,
I have a requirement to always sort on a column in a TableView.
So basically, I need a TableColumn's SortType go from Ascending to Descending and back to Ascedning when user clicks on a column header repeatedly.
I guess that means making sure a TableView's SortOrder list is not empty. Am I right?
I tried to listen to SortOrder list changes like below:
tableView.getSortOrder().addListener(new ListChangeListener<TableColumn<String, ?>>() {
     @Override
     public void onChanged(final javafx.collections.ListChangeListener.Change<? extends TableColumn<String, ?>> arg0) {
if (tableView.getSortOrder().size() > 0) {
               // fine. nothing to do
          else {
// add the removed column back
Is this the right approach?
I'm not sure how to use arg0 and add the removed column back.
Can people with experience in this area provide some sample code?
Thanks.

The solution I came up with was to save the last column added to the SortOrder list to a map.
Whenever the SortOrder list becomes empty, I add the last saved column back to the SortOrder list.
That seems work.

Error importing text file into SQL Server when last column is null

Hello all. Happy holidays!
I'm trying to import a text file into a SQL Server table, and I get the error below when it gets to a row (row 264) that has null in the last column. I'm guessing the null jumbles up the delimiters somehow. The nulls are not errors, and I need to import
them into the table with the rest of the rows. Any idea how I can do that?
Thanks!

Hi WeeLass,
The error that” Data conversion failed. The data conversion for column "XYZ" returned status value 2 and status text "The value could not be converted because of a potential loss of data.".” is generally error message, and the error indicates
that there is data type mismatch issue between the input columns and the output columns.
Based on your description, the issue is that you trying to convert a column contains empty value from string to integer data type for the output column "XYZ" in Flat File Source [1]. Please note that we cannot type an empty value as integer data
type column value, so the error occurs.
To fix this issue, just as you did, we should convert the data type for the output column "XYZ" in Flat File Source [1] back to DT_WSTR or DT_STR, then use a derived column task to replace the current column (UBPKE542). But the expression should
be like below:
LEN(TRIM(UBPKE542)) > 0 ? (DT_I8)UBPKE542 : NULL(DT_I8)
In this way, the data type of the column in SQL table would be int, and the empty value would be replaced with NULL.
If there are any other questions, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,

Unable to filter the report by clicking the last column's name

Hi,
I have interactive report page having lots of column. All columns were not fitting in the screen so I added a code in the region--- header and footer section---
<div style="overflow: auto; width: 1220px; height: 700px;">
I got a scroll bar at the bottom. But a new problem arised. When I am trying to filter the report by clicking the column name in the report page , a popup is opening for the first column but the pop up is not opening for the last column. For the middle columns, the popup is opening but not below its name. This pop is for filtering the report based on that columns.
Please give some idea to fix this bug.
Thanks,
Chandra Bhanu

You could try to display as many columns as fit your screen, and put the rest of your columns as form fields in a detail view, somewhat like this:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=vincentdeelen:report_details_in_iframe_v1
Please tell the steps how to do it.

How do I create a new row on tab out of the last column, last row?

JDev 11.1.2.1.0.
I've seen a few topics on this but none that I think were really very good solutions.
Use Case:
On tab out of the last column in the last row, a new row should be added to the end of the table. Bonus points for setting the focus to the first <af:inputText> of the newly created row.
Complications:
1. I'm having a heck of a time trying to find a function that returns the column's displayed index. Sadly, <column binding>.getDisplayIndex() returns -1 unless the user has manually re-ordered the column.
2. Value Change Listeners only fire if there is a value change. Guess that means I need to do client/server listeners to check each and every <af:inputText> for a tab press?
3. I'm not even going to get into setting the focus. With all the templates, regions, etc. going on, it's dang near impossible.
Any ideas on how to attack this one?
Will

Hi,
You will need to use the Run Engine Installation Wizard found on the Tools menu. In addition you need to create a installation set for the operator interface.
Look at Chapter 16 Distrubuting TestStand ( chapter 17 for version 2).
Once you have created your installation, install is on your new system.
The serial number etc is part of the process model. When you run the entry point 'Test UUTs' the PreUUT callback is executed which asks the user for the serial number.
Hope this helps

I can't sort a single column only (ignoring the next column)

I can't sort a single column only (ignoring the next column) in NUMBERS

Numbers sorting follows a database model in which each row is a 'record' rather than a collection of unrelated data items. When a table is sorted, the integrity of the individual records (rows) is maintained.
If you need to sort a single column, that column (or its data) must be separated from the rest of the table.
That can be done using copy/paste (as described above by Wayne), or by taking the column to be sorted out of the table, dropping it on the sheet to form a new, single column table, doing the sort, then returning the column to the original table.
The 3 1/2 step process takes longer to describe than to do.

Barry

Finder in column view has no expander divider on the last column

I deal with a lot of graphics on my computer and I have a lot of subfolders. While in finder in column view there is no expanding divider for the last column when it is showing a graphic. When I first open a photo or graphic in finder the last column shows the graphic smaller than regular size. In SL there was a column divider to expand only that last column so I could make the graphic larger to see it better. Now in Lion there is no divider on the right side of that last column to expand the last column where the grahic is showing. In order for it to finally expand I have to drag the right side of the Finder window all the way across my display until the bottom slider bar disappears and then that last column will expand. This is frustrating having to have my Finder all across my display just to get the graphic larger.
Is there a way to get an expander divider to show up for the last column when viewing a graphic in column view? I know I can click on the "eye" icon to see it, but the column view will expand the graphic larger than 100% so I can see more details.
Thanks for any and all help.
Connie

Yes, that is how my whole finder window expands across my display until the bottom slider bar disappears....then and only then does the last column expand. I have to have open as many as 8 columns to get to my graphic. Keeping the Finder window to a smaller size and using the bottom slide bar to navigate to the far right column is nice, but all I want is that far right column where my graphic is showing to expand so I can see it better.
Thanks but what you suggest only resizes the whole Finder window until it can expand no further, then the last column expands the graphic. But then my whole display is a huge Finder window.

Birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

birthday calendar on iCloud sort by last name first name like my contacts

Curiously, the most recently inputted entries do sort properly, as do all company entries.
Does that mean "most recently inputted" AFTER you upgraded to Snow Leopard?
If that is true, it would mean that something about your existing records before the upgrade, for the records that are people contacts (with first and last names) instead of business contacts, do not agree with Snow Leopard and/or Snow Leopard's version of Address Book.
This may not be feasible, but if you exported the records with this problems and then imported them, maybe they will be re-inputted so that are properly sorted.
If you use Time Machine, maybe you can use the +flying through space+ interface to restore one of the records with this problem to see if the restore process makes the record sort properly.

Issue with the last column stretching in ADF table

There is an issue wherein when I try stretching the last column of the ADF table to reduce its width it does stretch. But whenever I try stretching it back to this original position it doesn't despite having columnstretching attribute set to multiple and assign widths in percentages to columns . When I set the columnstretching attribute to none, the last column does stretch back and forth but on page load the table does not stretch to its full width despite having styleClass="AFStretchWidth". Now I dont want to be assigning fixed width in pixels to the columns. I would want the last column to stretch back and forth with columnstretching="multiple" and styleClass="AFStretchWidth". I see the same issue on components demo page as well. Tag Guide

If you are trying that each column gets equally stretched based on the browser, its not possible as adf doesn't supports that.
If your table is not stretching use styleClass="AFStretchWidth".
But if all your columns are not stretching you can only try setting column widths + columnStretching property (where you can specify which column to stretch to fill all the spaces)
