Splitting data up into two columns

Apologies if this is covered previously ( i'm sure it probably is) i've imported .csv into numbers but the first cell contains two pieces of information separated by a space (TI NUMEROLOGY etc) how do I separate into two cells so I can sort data by the different identifers (TI = Title)

Hi Alan,
Another thought. You can sort the data as it is. Click on Reorganize button on the ToolBar:
To get:
Every cell starting with TI and a space will come together, and sorted by whatever follows TI and a space.
However, if it looks nicer to split the entries, use Badunit's formula.
Alan wrote: "I also clicked on C2 and went to insert/fill/ but the options are greyed out o I can'r apply to all unless I do it manually... and it's a mahoosive file."
To fill down, click on C2 then drag the white handle down. Or, select the rows that you want to fill before Insert > Fill (Numbers needs to know how far to fill).

Error when splitting a Table into two columns - Please help!

Hi!
I have created a table in which I have created a header which has been split into 3 parts conisting of 2 columns. These all work fine. However, when I try to split the row below the header row into 2 columns, it does so but, in a way, connects the line inbetween the two columns with the line inbetween the two columns above and will not allow me to move it left or right by manually changing specs or dragging the line. Please help! (I'm using CS5 by the way!) Thank you!

I suggest you begin with a pre-built CSS Layout. DW has several to help jump start your projects. Go to File > New Blank Page > HTML. Select a layout from the 3rd panel and hit CREATE. See screenshot.
Save this layout as test.html and begin building your prototype page saving and validating code often during your work sessions.

How to split 'Full Name' into two columns for 'First' and 'Last' name??

Any ideas on how to achieve this? http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/split-names-by-using-convert-text-t o-columns-HA001149851.aspx

If:
A1 = Fistname Lastname
For firstname:
(First Name) B1 =SUBSTITUTE($A1," " & $C1, "")
For the Last name:
(Last Name) C1 =RIGHT(A1,LEN(A1)-FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","#",LEN(A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(A1," ","")))))
If
A1 = Lastname, Firstname
(Last Name) B1 =SUBSTITUTE($A1,", " & $C1, "")
(First Name) C1 =RIGHT($A1,LEN($A1)-FIND("#",SUBSTITUTE($A1," ","#",LEN($A1)-LEN(SUBSTITUTE($A1," ","")))))
Let me know if you need one that traps multiple commas or middle names.

Splitting Data Already In A Column Into Separate Columns

Hi and I have a column of First Name & Last Name. I want to split them and put them into two columns. How do I do that without re-typing?

As I studied the menu of the 18 versions, I discovered "funny" things.
In localized versions we may have three wordings for the same item, one in Keynote, one in Numbers, one in Pages;
With the revisions of iWork '09, they introduced a menu item "Export" in the File menu.
Alas they failed to install it in Numbers localized versions.
The surprizing differences are numerous.
Some text attributes are available in Pages and Keynote, not in Numbers. Why, we may have text boxes in Numbers too. Just an exemple, Strikethrough is missing in the Format menu.
But the tracking menu offers 4 items in Numbers and only 3 in Pages ????
In the document Inspector, in Pages, we have check box + text field to rule footer or header. We have only text field in Numbers so we can't rule the documents the same.
I may understand that external cell references are unavailable in Pages but not why popup, stepper, slider and checkbox aren't.
They fixed a limit to the number of columns in a Pages's table.
I reported that it was annoying to import AW WP documents.
The limit no longer apply when we import but it continue to strike when we build a table by ourself.
As you see, I know that we are far from a perfect world.
Two days ago, I dropped a kind of bomb in the AppleScript forum when, after writing that AppleScript treats correctly the users speaking English and using mm/dd/yyyy dates but that others are 2nd class users, I concluded saying that, from my point of view it's a kind of apartheid.

Split one column value into two columns using t-sql

Hi All,
I have one varchar column in a table.
Col1
ABC-12C4
BC-A345
CD
XYZ
How to split this into two columns like this using t-sql
Col1   Col2
ABC    12C4
BC      A345
CD
XYZ
Thanks,
RH
sql

assuming a static delimiter, and the split will end up with a max of 2 columns, something like this would work. basically you just need to determine where the delimiter is, and then use the left and right functions to find the 2 pieces.
declare @t table(value varchar(10))
insert into @t(value)
values
('ABC-12C4'), ('BC-A345'), ('CD'), ('XYZ')
select
case
when charindex('-', value) != 0 then left(value, charindex('-', value) - 1)
else value
end as col1,
case
when charindex('-', value) != 0 then right(value, len(value) - charindex('-', value))
else ''
end as col2
from @t

Split calcutated keyfigures itnto two columns depending on their value

Hi everybody
I have the following request:
During runtime of a query I calculate the difference between two values (keyfigures). In another column I should show the sum of those differences if they are lower than X (lets say lower thant 2) and in a third column the sum of those values if they are greater than X (lets say greater equal 2). But and this is important I only have to show the overall sum of it. There is no possibility to show every single entry of the data as it is over a million records.
01: type
02: contract
03: sum1
04: sum2
05: difference between sum1 and sum2
06: differences ge 2
07: differences lt 2
Example Data:
01 * 02.* 03 * 04
A   *   1 *   20 * 19
A   *   2 *    50 *   48
A *    3 *   10   *   6
B   *   4 *     9 *     7
B   *   5   * 25 *   24
so for type A the differences are 1, 2 and 4 and for type B the differences are 2 and 1. So in the result lne I should have for A a columne that shows 1 for the difference lower than 2 and in the other column 6 for the two differences that are greater than 2 etc.
what the report should show:
001    003 004 005 006 007
A   *   80 * 73 * 7 * 6 * 1
B   * 34 * 31 * 3 * 2 * 1
How can I realise this splitting of the calculated keyfigure into two columns? The X is a Variable on the selection screen so the user can select how he wants the values to be splitted.
Can I get the keyfigures to behave like this or do I have to do the calculations already during the dataload and save the difference as an infoobject and use it as characteristic in the query? I would like to avoid this if possible.
Thanks for your ideas and help!
Have a great day
best regards
Christophe

Hi,
Yes ofcourse you will get this in query designer
suppose i have data like
salary
10
20
30
40
50
now i want to split this into 2 coloumns like >25 into one column <25 into another column
first salary
10
20
30
second salary
40
50
in first column take (salary < 25)*salary
in second column take (salary > 25)*salary
why we are multiplying means > value gives 1 if it is ok and 0 if it not ok in order to get data we multiply with salary.
goto query properties suppress zeroes.
Assign points if it helps,
thanka,
pavan.

Ask split long text into two line into same cell for ALV

Dear All,
Is it possible split long text into two line into same cell for ALV display data?
Regards,
Luke
Moderator message: please search for information before asking.

Keep options: Select the paragraph, then CtrlAltK (Mac: CmdOptK, I
think).
If you want the paragraphs in pairs, create two paragraph styles. Style
A has keep options set to start on a new page, and also, its Next Style
is style B.
Style B has no keep options, but it's Next Style is Style A.
Select all the text.
From the flyout menu of the paragraph styles palette, apply Style A
"then next style."
Now all paragraphs will be alternating -- style A, style B, style A, etc.
Now do what I wrote initially, and you'll have pairs of paragraph in
separate text frames.

Splitting the Company into Two Entities

Our company is currently using SAP ECC, SAP SCM and SAP CRM. We have planned to split the company into two to manage the existing two different businesses in separate landscape. (i.e business A & B are operated under one company code). In future state, business A and B will be operated in separate landscapes.
Has anyone carried out similar company split activities in the past? What are the challenges encountered in such a large transformation program? What are the key points to be considered in such transformation?

Hi,
That is one of the approach but it is very time consuming activity. Other thing I can suggest you to do the archiving of the data that is not required in the new landscape and then delete the data based on business process and other scenarios.

Oracle rownum usage for splitting a Table into two equal parts.

Hi All,
I have a table which has like 1.2 billion records and i would have to split the table in two parts for my Archiving needs.Unfortunately that table does not have any unique key or primary key or data stamp which i can rely for.
I would have to use the rownum concept to divide the table.
I am using the below
SELECT * FROM (SELECT ENAME, SAL FROM EMP ORDER BY SAL DESC) WHERE ROWNUM < 5000000;
But the problem is that the table is taking forever to retrieve as it has to do a order by and then retrieve the data as per the where clause.
The question i have is that instead of using a orderby clause to get the same rownum for the row every time, can i directly rely on the fact that the database is read only and the Rownum would remain same even without oder by clause....
Thanks....

WARNING! There is a bug in the code, see EDIT: at bottom of post for details
Justin,
It makes sense that Oracle could order over rowid without sorting, but I see a sort in the explain plan:

I realized that I screwed up above. In hind sight I don't know what I was thinking. I was attempting to use X = upper(X) to find the upper case characters A-Z.

Why is it when i update my status on facebook from iohone it splits the updates into two differents boxes with some funky symbol. I have uninstall facebook and installed it over and it still does it. only the facebook IPHONE app.

why is it when i update my status on facebook from iphone it splits the updates into two differents boxes with some funky symbols at the beginning.. I have uninstall facebook and installed it over and it still does it. only the facebook IPHONE app where it says to update staus text to FBOOK i have already update my phone too.
if i go on the facebook site and update there through a brower on iphone it will work fine just cant us IPHONE mobile upload, . But its a pain of not using my IPHONE APP for facebook cause it does that.

When I import a text file(comma separated )into a numbers spread sheet all the data goes into one column. Why does the text not go into separate columns based on the commas.

When I import a text file(comma separated) into a numbers spreadsheet all the data goes into one column instead of individual columns based on the comma separators. Excel allows you to do this during the import.. Is there a way to accomplish this in numbers without opening it in Excel and the importing into Numbers.

Hi,
Do the following:
f1 = fsource(40).
f2 = fsource+40(30).
where fsource is the 70 character original string and target strings are f1 (length 40) and f2 (length 30).
