Strange issue - Excel summing not done

Hi,
We have a report where we have some data shown for revenue along with its Project & period .
But when we export it on excel & trying summing the revenue returned we cannot.
it works for some prj njum & it doesnt for few of them.. straange.. we even casted the column as Integer and also changed the data format to currency..
Any inputs on this,,,
Thansk

You're not going to like this, but Excel doens't import formats the way you might expect. You say you tried changing the format in Excel to number and currency and it still won't aggregate the column. Try doing this. Assuming that you have done the Format>Cells and changed the column type to number (or currency), double-click one of the cells. Double click another cell. Now try to add sum these two cells. They will now take on the attributes of the "number" format (or "currency").
Double-clicking makes the cell take on the actual format set from the Format menu. If your report is small, you can double-click all your cells. I remember way back when I had this problem, of being able to doing this en masse, but I can't remember what I did. If I remember, I'll post it. If you figure it out, please post it. I want to know.
Hope that helps.

  • Goods Issue to Customer not done

    Dear All,
    We have customize service module. We can select Return, Goods Issue to Customer, Inventory Transfer activity from activity tab on Service call itself.
    Problem is..first i have return material from Customer , then i have transfer inventory from branch whs to repair center whs and now i like to issue material to customer after repairing.
    When i am doing Goods issue to customer, it is giving error i.e. Inventory falls below minimum level.
    Can any body guide me for this.
    Warm Regards,
    Chintesh Soni

    HI Chintesh,
    Check out whether in the item master  you have selected " Manage Inventory By Warehouse" and whether you have maintained  the stock figure in the Required (Purchase UoM) field,the Minimum and the Maximum field in the items rows. In the Required (Purchase UoM) field the system displays the quantity needed to keep the stock at the minimum level.
    The system:
    1.   Issues alerts when the quantity goes below the minimum (Release Stock Below Minimum Level in Document Settings must be selected)
    2.    Does not let you enter stock documents when stock reaches maximum quantity

  • Strange error in SUM function in XI

    Hi geeks,
    We are encountering a strange issue in SUM functionality in XI.
    The Scenario is :
    We have a pipe delimited source file and INVOIC01 idoc as target.  each line in the source file will create a segment E1EDP01 in the target IDOC.
    All the values given in the file should be summed and mapped to E1EDS01 segment in the idoc.
    In one such strange case the sum of the values generated by the SUM function in XI is 2 cents lesser what we manually calculate using Calculator or Excel . There are about 100+ items in the file.  This not the case always it happens once in a while.
    Have any of you faced such strange errors. If yes please throw some light on the solution for this issue.
    Thanks,
    Noorul

    Hi folks,
    Thanks for your help. I solved this by writing my own code
    double sum = 0;
    String value;
    for (int i= 0; i< a.length; i++)
    sum = sum + Double.parseDouble(a<i>);
    value = Double.toString(sum);
    BigDecimal  bg1 = new BigDecimal(value);
    BigDecimal bg2 = bg1.setScale(2, BigDecimal.ROUND_HALF_DOWN);
    result.addValue(bg2.toString());

  • Excel 2013 not responding when doing refresh all for enbedded quires.

    System:
    Windows 8.1
    Intel I7 620 CPU
    12 GB ram
    Office 2013
    Issue 1:
    I have a excel file with 29 data from WEB quires. These are quires for stock data and the only difference in them is the ticker symbol. When I request a refresh all Excel goes into a not-responding mode and I have to quit the program to stop it. This same
    file ran OK in Excel 2010. I have the data on sheet one and about half the quires on sheet 2 and the remaining quires on sheet 3. Each quire downloads data a small table and cells in sheet one reference cells in sheet two and three. Two cells are accessed
    from each table. I had a Microsoft support person on the line today and she had me repair office, which didn't help. I removed Sheet 2 and Sheet 3 and redid all the quires and that didn't help. Each quire can be refreshed individually. 
    I also have a laptop with Office 2013 and Excel has the same problem with the same file.  
    Issue 2:
    Each row holds information about a given stock and gets current stock price and dividend percent from its quire table. The stock price comes from column A and the dividend percent come from column C two rows below the row the price is in. Every
    time a do a refresh the cell that references the data in Column C comes from two rows below the row it should come from. This does not happen for every stock only some of them. The reference to the data from the A column is always correct. This problem was
    happening in Excel 2010 too.

    Hi,
    To your first issue:
    Excel 2013 not responding may be caused by some reasons. Let's do some tests to narrow down the issue:
    Method 1: Verify/install the latest updates
    Method 2: Start Excel in safe mode
    Method 3: Investigate possible issues with add-ins
    Method 4: Check whether your antivirus software is up to date or is conflicting with Excel
    https://support.microsoft.com/kb/2758592/en-gb
    If the issue still exists, please upload the event log in the thread, I'll do more deeply
    research.
    To your second issue, would you like to upload a sample of the Excel file by using SkyDrive? I want to test in my PC.

  • What do I need to do to open Office (word AND excel) documents, PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Office 2011? Please advise :-)

    What do I need to do to open Office 2004 (word AND excel) documents? PowerPC issues etc. They don't open on iWork '08. Happy to upgrade to iWork or Office just to be able to access my docs from Office 2004 again - please can someone advise? Cheers.

    Hi - thanks for this info. Actually I have downloaded a 30-day trial of MS Office for Mac 2011 and it reads/writes. But I was expecting that if I saved it again, either as xls oe xlsx, then I would be able to open the newly-saved document in iWorks '08. This is not the case, any ideas why? cheers, Matt.

  • Strange Issue with using ExportToHttpResponse for exporting to Excel

    Hi,
    We are working with BO XI R2 with .Net 2.0.
    We are using ExportToHttpResponse method to export the Crystal Report to pdf/excel and directly opening the export in a browser window.
    Code being used is as follows :
    For pdf :  rd.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.PortableDocFormat, oResponse, false, Name);
    For Excel : rd.ExportToHttpResponse(ExportFormatType.Excel, oResponse, false, Name);
    where 'rd' is ReportDocument instance.
    The strange issue here is that for pdf output this works as desired and the exported report is directly opened in the browser window. However when it comes to Excel ; it does not open the exported file in the browser window and gives a prompt to open/save file. Even if the 'asAttachment' parameter of ExportToHttpResponse method is set to false it still is sending the exported file as an attachment to the browser and not opening it directly (as it is happening in the case of a pdf export )
    Do we need to set the Response.ContentType to excel ; if yes then why it is working in case of pdf.
    Can any one please advise about this strange issue .
    Thanks

    Thanks for the response Ludek .
    I was going through some othere threads and saw that ExportToHttpResponse is more preferred over ExportToStream . I even checked for setting up the Response.ContentType to Excel . I think I shoulfd give it a try to use ExportToStream.
    Let me know if any one else has any other suggestion(s).

  • Strange issue with rights of account, used by SSIS (Foreach Loop Container does not return file names without Admin rights on server)

    Hello everyone.
    Faced very strange issue with account, which is used to run SSIS package.
    The specific package uses Foreach Loop Container to retrieve file names within the specified folder, and put them into Import file task.
    The package is set up to run under specific service account. This service account is given all permissions (Full control) to the folder where source files reside.
    So the issue is: SSIS package fails to execute this task (Foreach Loop Container and then Import), and shows that no files are found in the directory (although files ARE there).
    Once we're adding the service account into local Administrators group on the SQL Server, it works! Removing - does not work again. We cannot leave the service account as SQL server's admin as it's prohibited by our IT policies, and is just a bad practice.
    Any ideas, please?

  • How to restrict the GR for Production Order when Goods Issue is not done

    Hi Gurus
    How to restrict the GR for Production Order when all the required components for production order are not issued with all required quantity. Even for partial issue system should not allow GR with 101. The user status with RMWA, RMWF & CGFB is not working.
    Pls suggest best solution.
    Abhijit.

    Hi,
    You can club together the GI nad GR at the time of confirmation..
    I.e Backflush for the components and auto GR for the Product.
    So that you can stream line the Process.
    The best Option would be to use the User Exit:
    Enhancement - MBCF0002
    Functional Module - EXIT_SAPMM07M_001
    Include - ZXMBCU02
    Refer below link for further details..

    You may have zoomed web page(s) by accident.
    Reset the page zoom on pages that cause problems.
    *<b>View > Zoom > Reset</b> (Ctrl/Command+0 (zero))

    If you have made changes to Advanced font settings like increasing the minimum/default font size then try the default minimum setting "none" and the default font size 16 in case the current setting is causing problems.

    Make sure that you allow pages to choose their own fonts.

    It is better not to increase the minimum font size, but to use an extension to set the default page zoom to prevent issues with text not being displayed properly.

  • Wireless issue: some online software don't work

    First of all, hello to everyone and sorry for my English. I'm from Spain.
    I have what I think is a strange issue in my MacBook. When I'm connected by Airport wireless, I'm unable to use some online software, although I'm able to use other online programs. I mean, I can use Firefox, Mail, Adium, Google Earth, Cyberduck, Coda, Transmission, Zattoo. But Safari, iTunes Store, Fluid, AppFresh, RSS desktop-based readers (Mainly NetNewsWire and Vienna), Microsoft Messenger aren`t working. They are just unable to connect to the net. So I can't find any pattern, and apps don't give me any kind of clue. Only iTunes displays a message when I'm trying to enter iTS: " Network connection have been refused" (not exactly: I translate from Spanish).
    I have to say it happens in all kind or wireless networks: with one or another router, with or without security, big ones (like the one of my university) or little ones (my home), and so. Then the problem is in my computer, isn't it? But I don't know where.
    Well, I'm with this problem since I installed Leopard, 5 or 6 months ago, and I've been looking for answers in forums, blogs, etc. I haven't found anything related to, so today I decided to ask directly. Thanks for your attention.

    Thanks for your answer, but I'm afraid I didn't explain well my issue. When I say "Airport" I mean Airport Extreme card, the internal one. I connect to internet by router. As I said, the problem remains with all kind of wifi routers and IS providers.
    But you gave me the idea of checking my Airport card firmware and it's 1.3.5. I really don't know if is it old or what because, by the way, Software Update is one of the apps that doesn't work by wifi. Anyway I haven't found anything interesting for me in Apple - Support - Downloads related to Airport Extreme, only firmwares and updates for Tiger users. So I'll run Software Update by ethernet amd install OS X 10.5.4, but I'm afraid it's no gonna provide any help, as I have this problem since 10.5.1.
    Thanks again.

  • Strange issue with RAM upgrade: It works but it doesn't! Please help.

    Hello Everyone,
    I have a very strange issue with my iMac since upgrading my RAM from 4 to 12 gig. When I first installed the new RAM it booted up and ran great. The next time I went to boot the iMac up it swtiched on but didn't get as far as the first white boot up screen. I tried turning it off and on a few times using the power on/off button but still no success. I decided to remove the RAM and reseat it. The computer then booted up again fine. Here's the problem though: when I went to switch my iMac on the next day it wouldn't boot up. Again, I took the RAM out and put it back in and the iMac booted up fine. I've checked the status of the RAM in the system profiler and it reports that everything is OK. So, I'm at a loss. Obviously, I don't want to go through this process every time I want to start up my Mac. Any ideas/solutions would be very gratefully received.
    Many thanks in advance.

    I completely agree with you. It will be one of the 3 issues you outline. The machine was bought brand new and has never given me a problem. It is just the introduction of the new RAM that has started a problem. However, I did just risk a restart and it booted up fine. I don't know if a restart is any different to shutting down and then pressing the on/off button to start the computer. Maybe my last reseating has done the trick or maybe my thinking is flawed because restarting involves a different process to booting up by pressing the on/off button. I don't know.
    In the part of the world I'm sitting in it's night time now so I will leave the diagnostics running and check the results in the morning. I hope the issue is now resolved anyway. This sort of thing takes me back to my dark PC days although in this case I know it's probably not the Mac's fault.
    Thanks again. Very much appreciated.

  • L2L VPN Issue - one subnet not reachable

    Hi Folks,
    I have a strange issue with a new VPN connection and would appreciate any help.
    I have a pair of Cisco asa 5540s configured as a failover pair (code version 8.2(5)).   
    I have recently added 2 new L2L VPNs - both these VPNs are sourced from the same interface on my ASA (called isp), and both are to the same customer, but they terminate on different firewalls on the cusomter end, and encrypt traffic from different customer subnets.    There's a basic network diagram attached.
    VPN 1 - is for traffic from the customer subnet 10.2.1.0/24.    Devices in this subnet should be able to access 2 subnets on my network - DMZ 211 (192.168.211.0./24) and DMZ 144 (192.168.144.0/24).    This VPN works correctly.
    VPN 2 - is for traffic from the customer subnet 192.168.1.0/24.    Devices in  this subnet should be able to access the same 2 subnets on my network - DMZ 211  (192.168.211.0./24) and DMZ 144 (192.168.144.0/24).    This VPN is not working correctly - the customer can access DMZ 144, but not DMZ 211.
    There are isakmp and ipsec SAs for both VPNs.    I've noticed that the packets encaps/decaps counter does not increment when the customer sends test traffic to DMZ 211.  This counter does increment when they send test traffic to DMZ144.   I can also see traffic sent to DMZ 144 from the customer subnet 192.168.1.0/24 in packet captures on the DMZ 144 interface of the ASA.   I cannot see similar traffic in captures on the DMZ211 interface (although I can see traffic sent to DMZ211 if it is sourced from 10.2.1.0/24 - ie when it uses VPN1)
    Nat exemption is configured for both 192.168.1.0/24 and 10.2.1.0/24.
    There is a route to both customer subnets via the same next hop.
    There is nothing in the logs toindicate that traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 is being dropped
    I suspect that this may be an issue on the customer end, but I'd like to be able to prove that.   Specifically, I would really like to be able to capture traffic destined to DMZ 211 on the isp interface of the firewall after it has been decrypted - I don't know if this can be done however, and I haven'treally found a good way to prove or disprove that VPN traffic from 192.168.1.0/24 to DMZ211 is arriving at the isp interface of my ASA, and to show what's happening to that traffic after it arrives.
    Here is the relevant vpn configuration:

    Clearing the counters was a good idea. If the counter is not incrementing and if ping from the remote side is not causing the VPN to come up it certainly confirms that something is not working right.
    It might be interesting to wait till the SAs time out and go inactive and then test again with the ping from the remote subnet that is not working. Turn on debug for ISAKMP and see if there is any attempt to negotiate. Especially if you do not receive any attempt to initiate ISAKMP from then then that would be one way to show that there is a problem on the remote side.
    Certainly the ASA does have the ability to do packet capture. I have used that capability and it can be quite helpful. I have not tried to do a capture on the outside interface for incoming VPN traffic and so am not sure whether you would be capturing the encrypted packet or the de-encrypted packet. You can configure an access list to identify traffic to capture and I guess that you could write an access list that included both the peer addresses as source and destination to capture the encrypted traffic and entries that were the un-encrypted source and destination subnets to capture traffic after de-encryption.

  • Strange issue with external monitor, only working when external speakers plugged in (using Thunderbolt to VGA adaptor)

    Hey – I am having a very strange issue with my external monitor; where it only works if my external speakers are plugged in and connected.
    I am using a late 2011 Macbook pro, running Mavericks 10.9.4, along with an MBox 2 (USB Audio Interface), and two powered speakers (KRK Rokit 5). This setup has had no issues. I have just acquired an external monitor (Benq T2200HD), which I am using with a thunderbolt to VGA adaptor (a cheap Chinese knockoff adaptor).
    To start - I plugged the monitor in with the thunderbolt adaptor, and it powers up and works fine. However, there is a nasty buzz coming from the speakers. I did some research and it looks like a simple ground loop issue. I did a bit of troubleshooting, and this is where things get weird.
    What I found is - If I unplug the MBox, the monitor loses signal from the computer (displaying ‘No Signal Detected!’). Further, if I keep the MBox plugged in, however unplug both the cables from the MBox to the speakers, the monitor loses signal. It doesn’t matter if the speakers are turned off, however they need to be plugged in (or the monitor loses signal). Weirder still, I can unplug the MBox, however the monitor will work if I plug in the speakers through my macs headphone jack.
    Simply put, the monitor only works if there is a direct connection between the computer, the speakers, and the power source.  What is going on here? Is the monitor grounding through the computer port, to the speakers (I don’t know how this works, is this possible?). Could it somehow be the cheap VGA adaptor I am using?
    Some other information:
    - Everything is plugged into the same multi-box for power. I have tried plugging things into separate sources, and the result is the same.
    - If I unplug the thunderbolt adaptor, then the speaker noise disappears straight away.
    - The ground noise doesn’t appear in my headphones, which are plugged into the MBox.
    Any information would be great – am I missing something here, or is this genuinely weird?

    Well, I went back into Best Buy to test on 3 other laptops (2 Asus, and their floor model for this Sony). It seems to be doing the same problem so at least I was able to rule out broken hardware issue on my particular laptop.
    Here's what I did to test:
    Since I couldn't really install Adobe Premiere on their machines, I used the DVIO software (http://www.carr-engineering.com/dvio.htm) and a 5 min clip I captured.  I transferred onto their machines, hooked up my Sony D8, and attempted to play the video.  It would play for 15 seconds and then stop and jitter with a loud noise (like it does on my laptop).  I even tried changing each machine's firewire driver to the legacy one and same results.  I pulled a brand new 4 pin to 4 pin firewire cable off their shelf and still the same problem.
    I think I've nailed it down to Win7x64 bit Home Edition not playing nice with Firewire driver.  Very annoying.  I can't find any concrete evidence of this from other users on any of the forums that have my particular problem, but from my own testing, it's all I can conclude.
    I have 2 other things I can try:
    1.  Opening the laptop and looking at the firewire to maybe find appropriate driver (ugh, I don't want to have to open this thing up).
    2.  Upgrading to Win7x64bit Pro and possibly testing with XP on the new MS Virtual PC (http://www.microsoft.com/windows/virtual-pc/).  I can't do it with my Home edition apparantly.
    Who needs to view video on an external TV anyways....sheeesh...(scarcasm).

    Are you watching this content though iCloud or though from iTunes on your local computer?  If it is from iCloud have you tried downloading the content to iTunes and watching it on ATV from that source to see if it still happens?  This is geerally a much more reliable way to view the content.  Easer to fast forward and rewind too.
    - I have a stable internet connection
    Clearlly you don't
    >(Ive tested on other devices)
    Which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >I am able to stream Netflix problem free from my AppleTV without so much as a hicup
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.
    >- I am able to download the episodes to my phone, ipad, and computer without any issues
    Again which does not tell you anything about the specific connnection from ATV to iCloud.  It does remove your ISP throattly traffice as a possible cause though.  So that is good.
    Have you checked your wireless rounter?  Tried doing the factory restor on it?  Upgrading it's firmware?  Is it and or ATV getting extreamly hot when this problme happens?
