Sorting Alpha and numerics in the same column

Post Author: Jimbob
CA Forum: General
I need to sort a column first by alpha then numerics. If I use the ascending sort, the records appear in the following order:
01, 02, AA, BB, ZZ
If I use the descending sort option, I get the following:
ZZ, BB, AA, 02, 01
What I need is the following order:
AA, BB, ZZ, 01, 02, 03
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated!
Thanks.

What if you create a non printing sort variable field and append a 'Z' to the beginning of only the numeric fields.
IF Field is Numeric then append Z else just use field.
Then you sort ascending on the variable sort field instead of just the field itself. Im am not sure if it would put ZZ above Z01 but you can always add more Z's or play with it till it works.

Mix AVG and Total for the same column in ALV grid

Hi,
We are using CL_GUI_ALV_GRID=>SET_TABLE_FOR_FIRST_DISPLAY, and I'd like to know if the following situation is possible.
Let's say we have a column which contains a number of hours, and we set it up to subtotal by period, but as an average rather than a total (DO_SUM = "C"). This is not a problem so far.
The problem is that we'd like for the "Grand Total" at the bottom of the ALV grid to total all of the subtotal averages, instead of calculating an average.
Ex:
Period            Hours
2010/01           6.0
2010/02           7.0
2010/03           2.0
                5.0 (This is an average... 6.0 + 7.0 + 2.0 / 3)
2011/01          12.0
2011/02           5.0
2011/03           4.0
                7.0 (This is an average... 12.0 + 5.0 + 4.0 / 3)
            12.0 (We want this to be a total of 5.0 + 7.0)
So we want the "grand total" line to be 12.0 which is the sum, but it currently comes out as an average.
Therefore we're looking to average at the sub total level, but we want a total of the subtotal levels at the grand total level for the same column.
Thanks,
Denis

Refer to the suggestion given by Naimesh here Can we modify a sub-total in ALV making use of function GET_GLOBALS_FROM_SLVC_FULLSCR and the method GET_SUBTOTALS. You can see the parameter ep_collect01 refered in case of subtotals. Can you please check ep_collect00 for grand total in your case.
As said about EP_COLLECT00,here goes a classic example Modify grand total in ALV GRID

Query to display integer and decimal and integer in the same column

Hello ,
Have a question,
is there a easier way to do this.. is the question
i have a column called units.. and i need to display either a integer in it if the value does not have any value after the decimal point .. so it shud be display as integer. But if it is a float then only display it with decimal values
like
Units
100
.123
1000.55
2000

Check this out although formatting needs to be done in the client application:
DECLARE @t TABLE (units FLOAT)
INSERT INTO @t (units)
VALUES (100)
,(.123)
,(1000.55)
,(2000)
SELECT units
,convert(VARCHAR(30), units) AS DisplayOnly
FROM @t

ALV List in the same Column for the row CELL i need button or value

Hi,
In my ALV list for the same column I need Button or Value for the different rows (CELL) depending upon my condition.
as well as I have to make read only of 3 rd column CELL based on my first column dropdown value CELL for this Row Only.
Depends upon the value in column 1 / row 2   I have to read only the CELL of   column 5 / row 2   ie for the same row.
Depends upon the value in Column 1/ row 3    I have to   EDITABLE or   Button   the CELL of column 5 / row 3 ie for the same row
How to do the logic for this.
I tried and got it for the entire column only.
But my requirement is for the sepecific cell in the column.
Kindly help to proceed further.
Thanks in advance.
Dav

Here is how you can make a particular cell in the row read-only based on certain conditions.
In my example I am displaying the flight details in an ALV. Here I am checking the airline id and if it is "AA' I am making the cell in the column airline id as readonly. In my example I am putting a check and readonly on the same column. However you can do this for different columns as well.
In order to achieve this you need to add a new context attribute 'READONLY' of type abap_bool to the context node which is bound to data node of ALV.
The method where I populate the node has the following code to populate the data.
data: lr_input_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        lr_flight_node type ref to if_wd_context_node,
        lv_cityfrom   type s_from_cit,
        lv_cityto     type s_to_city,
        ls_from       type bapisfldst,
        ls_to         type bapisfldst,
        lt_flights    type table of bapisfldat,
        ls_flights    type bapisfldat.
data: lt_final type if_mainview=>elements_node_flighttab,
        ls_final type if_mainview=>element_node_flighttab.
* Instantiate the variable lr_input_note to the node NODE_FLIGHT
lr_input_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE_FLIGHT' ).
* Instantiate the variable lr_flight_note to the node NODE_FLIGHTTAB
lr_flight_node = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'NODE_FLIGHTTAB' )
* Get the attributes CityFrom und CityTo
lr_input_node->get_attribute( exporting name = 'CITYFROM'
                                importing value = lv_cityfrom ).
lr_input_node->get_attribute( exporting name = 'CITYTO'
                                importing value = lv_cityto ).
* Fill the stuctures ls_from and ls_to
ls_from-city = lv_cityfrom.
ls_to-city   = lv_cityto.
* Call the function BAPI_FLIGHT_GETLIST
call function 'BAPI_FLIGHT_GETLIST'
   exporting
     destination_from       = ls_from
     destination_to         = ls_to
   tables
     flight_list            = lt_flights.
Now I am going to check if the airline id is 'AA' and based on that I will fill the readonly context attribute.
loop at lt_flights into ls_flights.
    MOVE-CORRESPONDING ls_flights to ls_final.
    if ls_flights-airlineid = 'AA'.
      ls_final-readonly = abap_true.
    else.
      ls_final-readonly = abap_false.
    endif.
    append ls_final to lt_final.
endloop.
Finally bind the data to the context node.
* Bind the data to the node NODE_FLIGHTTAB
lr_flight_node->bind_elements( lt_final ).
Now you need to do the ALV configuration settings.
* create an instance of ALV component
DATA:
    lr_salv_wd_table_usage TYPE REF TO if_wd_component_usage.
lr_salv_wd_table_usage = wd_this->wd_cpuse_alv( ).
IF lr_salv_wd_table_usage->has_active_component( ) IS INITIAL.
    lr_salv_wd_table_usage->create_component( ).
ENDIF.
* get ALV component
DATA:
    lr_salv_wd_table TYPE REF TO iwci_salv_wd_table.
lr_salv_wd_table = wd_this->wd_cpifc_alv( ).
wd_this->alv_config_table = lr_salv_wd_table->get_model( ).
CALL METHOD wd_this->alv_config_table->if_salv_wd_table_settings~set_read_only
    EXPORTING
      VALUE = ABAP_FALSE
* set visible row count
DATA:
    lr_table_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_table_settings.
lr_table_settings ?= wd_this->alv_config_table.
lr_table_settings->set_visible_row_count( '10' ).
DATA:
    lr_column_settings TYPE REF TO if_salv_wd_column_settings,
    lr_column          TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_column.
lr_column_settings ?= wd_this->alv_config_table.
DATA: lr_input_field TYPE REF TO cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field.
lr_column = lr_column_settings->get_column( 'AIRLINEID' ).
CREATE OBJECT lr_input_field EXPORTING value_fieldname = 'AIRLINEID'.
lr_column->set_cell_editor( lr_input_field ).
lr_input_field->set_read_only_fieldname( value = 'READONLY' ).
CALL METHOD lr_column_settings->delete_column
    EXPORTING
      id     = 'READONLY'

Does not do the sorting if I click twice to the same column.

Hello
I am new to winforms.
I have a listview. I want it to toggle the sorting of the records of the listview when the columns are clicked
Please guide me as to how to do the same.
The code that I have attached does not do the sorting if I click twice to the same column. I have to click a different column ten the previous column
The code is attached below
regards
Manoj Gokhale
private void SiteInChargeorSupervisor_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
this.listView1.ColumnClick += new ColumnClickEventHandler(listView1_ColumnClick);
private void listView1_ColumnClick(object sender, ColumnClickEventArgs e)
ListViewSorter Sorter = new ListViewSorter();
listView1.ListViewItemSorter = Sorter;
if (!(listView1.ListViewItemSorter is ListViewSorter))
return;
Sorter = (ListViewSorter)listView1.ListViewItemSorter;
if (Sorter.LastSort == e.Column)
if (listView1.Sorting == System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Ascending)
listView1.Sorting = System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Descending;
else
listView1.Sorting = System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Ascending;
else
listView1.Sorting = System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Descending;
Sorter.ByColumn = e.Column;
listView1.Sort();
public class ListViewSorter : System.Collections.IComparer
public int Compare(object o1, object o2)
if (!(o1 is ListViewItem))
return (0);
if (!(o2 is ListViewItem))
return (0);
ListViewItem lvi1 = (ListViewItem)o2;
string str1 = lvi1.SubItems[ByColumn].Text;
ListViewItem lvi2 = (ListViewItem)o1;
string str2 = lvi2.SubItems[ByColumn].Text;
int result;
if (lvi1.ListView.Sorting == System.Windows.Forms.SortOrder.Ascending)
result = String.Compare(str1, str2);
else
result = String.Compare(str2, str1);
LastSort = ByColumn;
return (result);
public int ByColumn
get { return Column; }
set { Column = value; }
int Column = 0;
public int LastSort
get { return LastColumn; }
set { LastColumn = value; }
int LastColumn = 0;

Every time through the ColumnClick event handler, you are creating a new sorter. This means that any values set in the sorter from the previous click are not saved.
Try this.
private void listView1_ColumnClick(object sender, ColumnClickEventArgs e)
// Only create a new sorter if we don't have one already.
if(listView1.ListViewItemSorter == null)
ListViewSorter Sorter = new ListViewSorter();
listView1.ListViewItemSorter = Sorter;
// And so on with the rest of your code.

REPORT WITH CHANGING ITEM ON THE SAME COLUMN

Hi to all,
i'm trying to build a report with different item in the same column.
Is that possible in any way using other Oracle technique?
i'm not doing anything specific here, only i would like to know if the following possibility exist or not and how can i let apex render the htmldb_item fields 'dynamically'.
Using this CODE inside a PL/SQL function body returning sql query I obtain the following report content. Such the code of htmldb_item.fields is written, as a field value the HTML_ITEM is not rendered, so only the description of them appear in the report.
Does somebody know some tricks to make it work?
Thanx a lot
1     2     LAST_CALL     htmldb_item.date_popup (4, ROWNUM, FLD_VALUE,'dd/mon/yyyy') VALUE
21     1     AGE     htmldb_item.text(4,FLD_VALUE,10,10) VALUE
create or replace FUNCTION FNC_GEN_GUI_ITEM(ITEM_TYPE NUMBER) RETURN VARCHAR2 AS
STRHTMLDITEM VARCHAR2(4000);
BEGIN

WHEN 2 THEN STRHTMLDITEM:=' htmldb_item.date_popup (4, ROWNUM, FLD_VALUE,''dd/mon/yyyy'') VALUE ';
END CASE;
RETURN STRHTMLDITEM;

Hi to all,
i've solved, is very simple using decode inside the select:
SELECT
ID,
FK_HTMLDB_ITEM, DECODE(FK_HTMLDB_ITEM,1,HTMLDB_ITEM.DATE_POPUP(3,rownum,VAL,'dd-mon-yyyy'),2,HTMLDB_ITEM.TEXT(3,VAL)) VALORE
FROM TESTID
my table is:

My SB Audigy 2 card can't use headset and musicamplifier at the same time

Hi, i just bought a SB Audigy 2 [D400] and i have downloaded drivers and programs. I run Windows XP SP2.
The soundcard works fine but it is very very annoying that i physically have to change the jack in the green=line out jack from headset to musicamplifier when i want to use my musicamplifier and change back the jack in the green=line out from musicamplifier to headset when i just want to use the headset/headphones .
In the shop they told my that i can connect both amplifier and headset at the same time and then with creative software control whether there is sound in the headset or in the amplifier. But i can't simple get it work.
I tried to use the green to the amplifier and the headset/speakers in the black (line out 2) and then with creative speaker settings softeware choose headphones but still the ampliefier receive the sound and no sound in the headphones. Why? In fact no matter what configuration i try the headphones doesn't work.
But if i change the jacks so headset is in the green line out then only headset is working and the amplifier doesn't work no matter i put it in sort=line out 2 jack or orange=line out 3 jack.
Can somebody here tell me if it is possible or not to connect both headset and external amplifier and control by software which to play? and how?
please help, thx.
Michael

If you can have an ASIO compatible music playing system, then it might be possible to have system like you wish when using Creative Audigy 2 card. Since ASIO bypasses Windows Audio System, you can use both 'drivers' (ASIO - WDM/MME/DS) side by side.
Say you want to play a game (using headset /w mic) and someone other like to listen music at the same time. With ASIO capable system you can output your music for example to "center L/R (stereo) channels" and same time output sounds from other source (using MME/DS/WDM drivers) to normal output channel (Front L/R). Only thing is, you need to set your speakersystem to 4 or 6 (depending which other channel you're using) (and for better 'balance' to adjust "angle" on THX console. You get the THX console by installing Audigy 2 Zs software).
Try for example http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/463/djs9mo.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
Another option:
Say you want to play music through external amplifier and play game online with your headset + microphone (eg. others but you listen the music, you play games)
--> try free http://img332.imageshack.us/img332/4589/tbp7rz.jpg[/img] width="406" alt="Image Hosted by ImageShack.us" >
If you use ASIO on BeatPort Player you can select L/R individually from the list(s). Same rules as described earlier.
= You can play from 2 different sources simultaoneusly (ASIO + WDM/MME/DS) to two different outputs without disturbance. The other (WDM/MME/DS) source is set 'automatically' output to (Audigy) "green" port, and the other (ASIO) to "black" or "orange" port (as set).

F4 help based on the records in the same column

Dear All
its an fantastic blog....i have one different question for u....n u can check the below..

Hi Kartheek,
do a where-used-list on function F4_INT_HELP_VALUE_REQUEST, start with B* programs.
Or do a search on SCN and find [ABAP Code Sample to Attach F1 and F4 Help Fields in ALV Grid|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/index?rid=/library/uuid/b3d5e890-0201-0010-c0ac-bba85ec2ae8d] and [view the code sample|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/b3d5e890-0201-0010-c0ac-bba85ec2ae8d?quicklink=index&overridelayout=true].

I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96 I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
=(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96 So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
Thanks

You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
=average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.

Can I run two midi controllers (keyboard and pad) at the same time?

ie.....can I play keyboard and use a pad for an effect of some sort - creating two instraments at the same time. I want to play say, piano on one instrament w/ a keyboard and at the same time play a synth effect on a trigger pad with another instrament (es 2)????????

Yes.
set 2 instruments to different midi channels.set the keyboard and pad to match.
record enable both tracks in arrange.
check: file/song settings/recording/auto demix by channel if multi-track recording
this will allow you to record them both.

Different ItemRenderer's in the same column of a datagrid

I am using actionscript to read some XML input and dynamically add data into the datagrid.
Currently I am reading the first row and depending on the data type of the coulmn i am creating the column to be a IntemRenderer of Image, or Link button.
Now is there anyway of adding some rows to be LinkButton ItemRenderes and some to be Image ItemRenderers, in the same column?
Any examples are also appreciated

You can try overriding createColumnItemRenderer

Datagrid scrolling problem when different items are in the same column

I have a datagrid which I am populating with different items (LinkButtons, Images, Labels). However when there are different types of items in the same column and when i try to scroll everything gets messed up (Images get overlapped with each other or the labels get overlapped with images).
I am overloading the "IDropInListItemRenderer" to create different types of items in each cell and I am overloding the "updateDisplayList" function
Any ideas as to why the items get messed up during scrolling? Is there some other preperty of IDropInListItemRenderer that should be overloaded?

Hi Subeesh Arakkan,
Thanks. This is the exact problem that I have. Althought my overloaded functions are a little different and Im trying to resolve it. But htis is a good lead.
Thanks,
