Total average of a text box

Hi,
I am using SSRS 2008 R2. I have a report to show the average value of branch wise sales, which i am implementing the following expression
=Avg(Fields!YTD_Total_Premium.Value,"Branch_Name")
Similarly I have to get the total average value of all these branches. As I am not calculating the average in query, please help me how to get the total average value of text box.

This the requirement of my user. As I have shown in the textbox2 (from top) , I had calculated the average in the report instead of getting it from the query. To get the total
average branch wise I am getting error as we cannot use aggregate in an aggregate function in ssrs 2008 and below. Please help me to find the entire total at the footer too.
Row groups - Region, Continent
Column group - <sales Region Name>
Thank you,
Anu Ashokan.
Did you try below for total expression
AVG(Fields!YTD_Amount.Value,"DatasetName")

Can you calculate multiple text boxes to achieve a total value? If so how is that done? I am trying to create a order form where multiple items can be purchased but i would like the values of each item to calculate so I can achieve a total value.

Issue with 'text box' in rtf sub template for peoplesoft XMLP

Hi all,

In my Sub template i have a text box ( i am using text box bcoz i want to justify the text not to the page margin but starting from a specific column.not sure if there is any other way with which i can do the same !!) . When i process the report (using application engine program) i get the below error

Original (Coming - output): "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
it's in output but what is data in database ?
sorry but without knowing about source data for forming the xml i haven't ideas about your problem
in db it's "TM " or "™" or ... ?
Original (Coming - output): "<PAY_TXT>PAYκ Contact your bank or financial institution to make this payment from your cheque, savings, debit or transaction account.</PAY_TXT>"
Something like XAE or "K" after PAY Value in the xml tag and continued the text value. (Tag value is not getting copied exactly here - i am sorry for that )
that's ok. i need to see the problem not the data as is
Expected (output): "Here it needs to produce the "PAY TM" (Here "TM" should be super scripted to "PAY" Value in tag).
as super scripted in xml?
as idea - you can have <PAY_TXT>PAY TM</PAY_TXT> and in publisher set TM as super

Displaying the result of a calculation in a dynamic text box

Hi folks,
I'm having a very minor issue here (operator error, I'm sure ). With the help of some folks here, I've created a series of calculations, and I've got that part down. Now, I just need it to show up in the movie.
I've created the dynamic text box in Flash (CS3), but when I hit test, it won't show up.
After all the calculations, I should have a figure that I call totalmoney. My dynamic text box is called total. The user doesn't need to hit anything for it to appear. It just appears as part of the movie.
Here's my code:
stop();
var startDate:Date = new Date(2010,0,12); // use your startyear, startmonth, startdate in the new Date() parameters.
var currentDate:Date = new Date(); // assuming user's clock is correct and in your timezone. else use server date/time.
var numberOfSeconds:Number = (currentDate.getTime()-startDate.getTime())/1000;
var interest:Number = (numberOfSeconds*0.74356);
var totalmoney:Number = (interest+15,000,000);
function displaytotal(evt:TextEvent):void {
total.text = "totalmoney";
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
Napo

You didn't have to bury any of the calculations in the function--leaving it as you had it is better. They could remain where they a=werew, and you'll probably find you want them outside it if you have other plans for using them. If left inside, they only have scope inside. In the programming world, it's good to think of functions as things that do one thing and one thing only (though it isn't often practiced that way)--it's called modular design.
When you place an event as an argument for a function, it typically means that there is an event listener that initiates the call to the function. If you work with buttons you'll see what I mean. But if the plan is to create your own call to a function when you desire it as such, not have it driven by an event listener, then you don't need to pass any event to it, though you may pass some other type of variable to it if need be.
For instance, what you have now will call the function without an argument because the function has the value built into its code....
displaytotal();
But you could also make the function a little more generic and set it up to recieve the value instead as an argument...
function displaytotal(amt:Number):void {
total.text = String(amt); // an earlier error of mine
displaytotal(totalmoney);
That would make your function a little more useful. Now it could be used to display other Number variables as well.
// my earlier error was that a textfield displays text, so you need to convert the Number value to s String.
Hope I'm not confusing you.

Show text box from one combo box selection

Total newb here and need help. I tried searching for a javascript to copy/paste, but without any luck. I am using Acrobat Pro 9.2.0. If you could help me out with the javascript or with directions on how to make the following be accomplished, I would be greatly appreciative.
I am creating a fillable PDF and currently have a combo box that is labeled "Internship Satisfied By" with the options of "TCoB PDP", "MRKTNG 4185", and "Other College". I would like a hidden text box (where the end user can fill in to explain) to become visible only when the end user selects the "Other College" option, but stay hidden for the other selections. The hidden text box is labeled "Internship Explained".
Thanks in advance! Jarrod

Use this code as the combo box's validation script:
if (event.value == "Other College") {
getField("Internship Explained").display = display.visible;
} else {
getField("Internship Explained").display = display.hidden;

Quiz Variable Not Tracking Text Box Responses

Hello Everyone,
I am having a problem getting the Captivate Quiz variable to track correct responses from a text box. I am using Captivate 5 and trying to make a quiz where someone will enter in data that will be validated and branch off of their responses. I have set up several text boxes, turned on validating, checked the "Include in Quiz" box and the add to total and report answers boxes. See the pic below:
I am trying to branch using an advanced action that checks the cpQuizInfoPointsscored variable and branches them based off their score. But the variable always shows 0! (I set up a text caption to display the variable as I went through to check.) Here is the weird part, I have the quiz results slide in the presentation, and IT accurately shows the results from the test boxes. But for some reason the Quiz Variable isn't tracking them! Any help??

Hello and welcome to the forum,
From your question I know that you are using CP5.0, correct? This 'bug' has been fixed in Captivate 5.5. Was one of the users who had insisted (by bug report) to have all Quizzing System variables updated after each question, and not only when the quiz was done, on the score slide; now you are bumping into this issue: the score in cpQuizInfoPointsscored will be tracked and will have the scores attached to the Text Entry Boxes or for any other scoreable object (all show up in the Advanced Interaction view - F9) but only at the score slide.
I had a workaround in CP5 (have described it somewhere in an article or a blog post), using the Quizzing variable that IS updated after each question: cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored.
If you want to have the functionality of CP5.5 you'll have to track the total score in a user variable by advanced actions. It is not really that hard, since you are already using advanced actions, step-by-step
create a user variable v_currentscore
on entering each question slide have this statement executed (if you do not have already an advanced action for this Enter event, and this is the only statement, better add Continue as second statement)
Expression v_currentscore = v_currentscore + cpQuizInfoLastSlidePointScored
now you can use this user variable for your check instead of cpQuizInfoPointsscored, you understand that it is only updated on the slide after the slide where the question is answered? Let me know if this is a problem

This mark variable should be given in Table control properties.
follow the path
double click on the table control-->attributes .->select
w/SelColumn and in that itab-mark. Check in the figure.
[Table control properties screen|http://bp2.blogger.com/_O5f8iAlgdNQ/R99gOUH8CXI/AAAAAAAAA9I/d3gOum1fJ6s/s1600-h/pic28145-796618.jpg]

LOOP AT ITAB WITH CONTROL tabc
ENDLOOP.
PROCESS AFTER INPUT.
MODULE CANCEL AT EXIT-COMMAND.
LOOP AT ITAB.
   Module read_table_control.
ENDLOOP.
module user_command_0100.
In this Module read_table_control, You should write the following code
MODULE read_table_control INPUT.
MODIFY itab INDEX tabc-current_line."( This will update the
"ITAB table MARK field with 'X ' whatever we have selected
"on table control.)
ENDMODULE.
4)
If you want to Delete some of the records from Table control
follow this code Create one pushbutton and give Fucnction code to that

Convert seconds to [h]:mm:ss format on report text box

I want to convert seconds to hh:mm:ss format on the report text box.
I use =Format(Sum([MyTime])/(24*60*60),"hh:nn:ss"), but it does not work if the hours more than 24 hours, since the format is for the time format for the day.
I need the result shows more than 24 hours, because I want to show how many hours and minutes from my seconds value.
I can use [h]:mm:ss for Excel that it gives me the total hours more than 24 hours.
I tried to use the following to my text box
Int((sum(MyTime)) / 3600) & Format(Int((sum(MyTime) / 60) Mod 60, "\:00") & Format(sum(MyTime) Mod 60, "\:00"),
but for some reason it only shows seconds part without minute and hour part of the value.
Your help and information is great appreciated,

Hi sourises,
You can use the next function. Place it in a general module.
Function Sec_to_str(seconds)
Dim uur As Integer
Dim min As Integer
Dim sec As Integer
Dim cur_sec As Variant
cur_sec = seconds
If (IsNull(cur_sec)) Then
Sec_to_str = Null
Else
sec = cur_sec Mod 60
cur_sec = cur_sec \ 60
min = cur_sec Mod 60
cur_sec = cur_sec \ 60
uur = cur_sec
If (uur = 0) Then
Sec_to_str = Format(min, "#0") & ":" & Format(sec, "00")
Else
Sec_to_str = Format(uur, "#0") & ":" & Format(min, "00") & ":" & Format(sec, "00")
End If
End If
End Function

Why does text box move when I open pages doc on my friend's mac?

Hi Everyone,
So I have this very vexing problem with pages. I have been trying to collaborate with a friend of mine and everytime the pages document moves from one computer to the other the text boxes move terribly out of place. So for example, I will make a document and format it perfectly on my computer. Then I will email it to her (or put it up on dropbox or yousendit or zip it and email it) and without fail when she opens it on her computer the text boxes have moved and the document looks horrible, all my design work is totally wasted. The same thing happens if she starts a document on her end and then gives it to me.
Does anyone have any experience with this? Any suggestions?
Oh and by the way we are both running OS 10.8.2 and Pages 4.3
Thanks in advance!

Hi Swati,
That was a shot in the dark. I remember that the now obsolete MacDraw would reset its margins to suit different printers. I had the thought that because Pages page layout seems similar to MacDraw, it was doing the same. I don't have a printer, so my print settings don't tell me much. Maybe Page Setup or the Print dialogue?
Let's hope that someone else has more ideas.
Regards,
Ian.

Text in text boxes getting cutoff after publish

We have an e-learning project with a large number of
application simulations that were built using Captivate 2.0 (build
1177). The published swf files from captivate are loaded via XML
into a flash shell we've built that serves up additional asset
types (text, graphics, video) along with the captivate movies to
make up a module. The captivate movies are the only asset being
served up when used (i.e. they are not sharing the screen with
other graphics or text).
The problem we are having, is that once a captivate movie is
published, and played via the module shell, some (not all) text
boxes are displayed with the text being cut off on the left. The
left margin settings appear to be ignored, and the text is cut off
by a couple pixels. This appears to be totally random. In the
almost 200 captivate movies we've created, we start out by
recording the application function we are training on, and then
update the captivate with refined text (using HaloYellow text
boxes), and import audio from a narrator.
When the final captivate is published, we can preview using
the _skin.swf and html file, and we cannot replicate the text box
issue, however once we play the swf through our course shell, we
can see the problem text boxes.
One way we have been able to fix this, is to go to the
problem text box in Captivate, select it, cut it out (ctrl-x) and
then paste it back in. Then we check out the newly published
version (in the course shell) and the text box appears as it
should. The problem is, there may now be other text boxes
displaying the problem text being cut off.
In my research on this issue, I did learn about setting text
margins in the .FCM files, but I am finding this is something that
must be planned for before creating the captivate, as it is not
something I can change and then hope to take effect when the movie
is next published.
If this link works, it should launch a web page with an
example of one of these problem text boxes..
See
what we are experiencing..
Has anyone seen this issue? Would publishing these from
Captivate 3 help?
Thanks!
Sean -

Hi Sean
In addition to what jbradley88 offered, there is one other
factor that could be at play here.
Do the captions look okay on some PCs and not on others? If
so, it could point to an issue with the DPI settings for the PC. If
this is the case, you will want to perform the following steps on
the PCs where this is an issue.
* Display the Windows Desktop (Easily done by pressing the
Windows key and the D key together)
* Right-click the Windows Desktop and choose Properties from
the context menu
* Click the Settings tab
* Click the Advanced button
* Click the General tab
See the drop-down labeled DPI setting? If that is set to 120,
try setting to 96 and see if things improve.
This may not be what is at play, but I've seen it have an
impact on other display issues.
Cheers all... Rick

Outputting check box input to text box

I have another javascript question regarding Acrobat.
I have an order form with 3 categories of check box sets.
Set 1
a
b
c
d
Set 2
e
f
g
h
Set 3
i
j
Each checkbox outputs the SKU of an item which in this case is insignificant.
Here are the scenarios available to the user.
Option 1 - One option from Set 1 AND one option from Set 2 must be selected. (Which i have working just fine)
OR
Option 2 - One option from Set 3 must be selected.
These are the only possible options.
I have a text box set to read only as the total box. It totals up the cost based on the options they select.
If they select option 1 it needs to output $285 to the total box
If they select option 2 it needs to output $475 to the total box.
My theory is that I need to make an if then statement but I don't understand how to write the code for this to work.
Any one's expertise would be extremely helpful.
Thanks

Are these fields independent from one another, or is each set a group of fields with the same name but different export values?

How load text into dynamic text boxes from external file?

hi all,
my animation is very simple - a background image and 2 text boxes. one of the textboxes shows a large word, which crossfades to another word, with a total of about 12 words (showing one at a time in different text boxes fading in & out in the same spot).
i need a way to have the text be imported dynamically via xml or json (xml preferred). this article is a good start, but i noticed he's putting all of the text into one box - i need separate strings put into separate boxes from the xml.
Chris Gannon - Loading XML via AJAX into Adobe Edge
he uses
var outputField = $(this.lookupSelector(“xmlOutput”));
for his text box. what would be the best way to revise this code to include all my individual strings to be loaded into my individual text boxes? thinking an array might work, but my js skills are limited.
any other suggestions or tutorials you could point me to would be appreciated.
thanks!!

thanks joel_pau !
this is helpful in seeing how the array is created, but after giving it a go I became a little confused.

but nothing happens on preview. my textboxes still contain the original text that lives in my comp.

I can't do anything with the text boxes in my InDesign file.

I consider myself pretty good with InDesign. But, right now, I'm totally flummoxed. I've just spent two hours designing a newsletter front and inside front page. I've filled the two text boxes with text that I stole from a Word file. But, now, I can't do anything in those text boxes. I click and nothing happens. Nothing highlights. The frame isn't locked. I don't know what to do. I'm kind of freaked out that InDesign can do this to me.

Check for locked Layers

Populating dropdown list with entries in multiple text boxes?

I'm creating a form that needs to be simple to use and complete. I would like to be able to populate a drop-down list with entries the user puts into text boxes. Can this be done?
For more detail:
In one location is a table, the use will type into a text box a Project Name, then other information such as location and total acres.
In another location I've got a table where the user will enter the offerings from each project they listed in the 1st table. It is a long table as it is, I cannot combine the two (will not fit on one page if I do combine them).
Instead of making the user type in the project names multiple times, I'd like to be able to take the project names the users input (from table one) and have those entries automatically populate the dropdown list in the second table.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

Not exactly a find and replace but you can do it.
Select the text frames yu want to change the colors using the shift key to click select the frames.
Then go to Edit>Edit Color>Recolor Art
You wll see a dialog with red and black bars along side two shorter bars click the shorter bars to select a New Color a color picker will appear you can use the swatches or the color mixer.
There is a live preview /so you will see the change in case you want to pick a different gray, of course you can always go back to the recolor art dialog.
I am afraid you manually have to select text frames with multiple colors in order to accomplish what you want but the method above I believe is the only want to change the colors.
This video shows how the dialog works but pretend the one frame I did not select is another color.
