UR/MR Redemption Value, Data Points please!

While considering the merits of a CSP or EDP card, we are often faced with an "average cpp" for each point system. The general consensus is that a UR point is worth 2.4 cpp while an MR point is worth 1.8 cpp. I am hoping that people with experience with each program can enlighten me on the method of calculation of a point. When calculating your average cpp (cents per point), do you calculate it against the FULL PRICE ticket quoted by the airline, or do you peruse sites like Hotwire, Kayak, Skiplagged, Orbitz, etc. and calculate the cost of your flight using the cost in points vs the price on a common travel site? Consider this scenario: You are looking to book a one-way, domestic flight on your favorite airline. United quotes you at $300, but you have the option to purchase with 15,000 points. However, Orbitz has the same flight for $200, plus Discover deals gives you 10% back, bringing the total cost of your flight down to $180. The question I'm posing is: when cashing in your points would is this a realistic scenario, or do airlines generally charge similar prices to travel sites? Would you consider the points to be valued at 2 cpp in this scenario or would you consider the points to be valued at 1.2 cpp? From what I can tell, travel sites are generally significantly cheaper than purchasing directly from the airline (or else it wouldn't make sense to that there would be so many). Therefore, if the valuation of your points doesn't take into account travel sites, their value would seem to be inflated to some degree. FWIW, I'm not at the point in my life where I travel a whole lot. I'm doing research for the future.

Hello dskp,
As your in Cartesian display, if you know the abscissa or the ordinate, you could easily found your points using a for loop with your data points indexed in input and a comparison function.
Please be more specific if you need an example.
Best regards.

Stacked 100% bar chart - Problem with datatips for zero value data points

I have a stacked 100% bar chart that shows datatips in Flex 4.   However, I don't want it to show datatips for
data points with zero values.   Flex 4 shows the datatip for a zero value data point on the left side of a bar if the data point is not the first in the series.
Here's the code that illustrates this problem.    Of particular concern is the July bar.    Because of the zero value data point problem, it's not possible to see the datatip for "aaa".
Any ideas on how we can hide/remove the datatips for zero value data points ?        Thanks.

Well going in point by point and deleting is certainly one way of going about it. Of course that would defeat the entire purpose of having this great programming enviroment that is capable of doing that kind of thing for us.
Is your text file small enough to upload? Obviously you know what the criteria are for judging whether or not a data point is acceptable so it should be simple enough to program. Give us a bit more information and I can assure you there will be a race between LabVIEW experts to see who can post the cleanest, simplest, and fastest piece of code that will do what you need. My wager is on altenbach, but there are a few others here that are almost as impressive.

T.code F110 Created a proposal, could I modify the value date?

Hi All,
I need to create a proposal with tha value date successive to posting date....
In particular, i wonder if, before running the payment i can modify the "value date" of the scheduled proposal by hand.
Thanks...
Gandalf

Hi Umberto,
My understanding of your requirement is like this: When you make a payment to a vendor, it will be credited in his bank account say 2 days after the payment is generated in your system. Say if you have generated a payment document on 24th March, it will be credited to the vendor account on 26 th march. and you want to maintain the value date as 26th march in your payment document.
If this is the requirement, maintain value date in FBZP settings, under bank determination, for the payment method/hosue bank and HB ID combination. You have to mention number of days to value date.
Please let me know if this is your requirement

Extract data point from dynamic data based on time index

My goal here is to find out what the frequency of pulses from object B is given an input to object A, and not only that, but what the frequency is at a particular moment in time.
While in this example, the DAQ Assistant reads the data and will show it nicely on a time-indexed graph, the convoluted mess above is the only solution I have thus come up with to extract a specific item from that set of data. I was/am hoping there is a more elegant solution. However, I can confirm via other sources that the data from the DAQ Assistant is incorrect, possibly/probably because the DAQ units being used are on different chassis, using different counters (I've got to work with what I've got available) and won't cooperate in the same while loop.
In this example, the data being read is correct, I cannot display the result on a graph (nothing shows up, but the autoscale of the Y axis seems to work), and the VI occasionally (but not always) ends on an Error -200474: Timeout (with the signal no longer being sent to object A, I don't expect any pulses from object B). I would like to have both the graph and the value (data point) at time index, like I was getting in example one, but the correct data, as I was getting in example two.
Code for both examples is attached.
Attachments:
sample.vi ‏105 KB
sample2.vi ‏106 KB

In this example, the data being read is correct, I cannot display the result on a graph (nothing shows up, but the autoscale of the Y axis seems to work)
Check out the acquisition mode of DAQ assistant, Its configured to 1sample (on demand) which means that graph is plotting only 1 sample (only 1 data point) which you are unable to see. Modify the settings to acquire greater samples so that a plot can be seen on the graph or use chart to plot the points which has history with it.
The terminology "object A and B" that is used is not clear and what it is pointing to (while loop or the images itself).
The second figure there is a data dependancy between 2nd while and 1st while loop. Try using standard LabVIEW Design patterns

Asset Value Date when Scrapping

Dear All,
What is the purpose of Asset Value date when you are retiring asset. For example in AR01 or ABAVN when we are scrapping the asset then what is the purpose of it ? What impact will it make or take ?
Should I put the date of retirement as my Asset Value date ?
Please advise.

Dear Riyaz,
I will give you two scenarios;
1. Company have assets 10 -15 years. Now with zero book values. They want to scrap it. So should I put 31 May 2006 or 1 June 2006. It won't make any difference because the book value is zero ??
2. Let suppose there is book value, so if I put 31.05.2005 as asset value date, will it calculate dep till 31 or 30 ??

Customize Mouse over values when hovering on a chart data point

Hi
Can someone please help me here? I have a dashboard which displays 4 series in a combinational chart. Along with the numeric values, I have another column which displays the commentary / justification of a data point on a particular date.
I want to show this as a mouse over value to change when user hovers over different dates.
Is it possible?

How to show data value labels in the charts without moving my mouse on the data point?

Sometimes I need to show a chart with data value labels which is not necessary to move my mouse on the data points. However, it seems Xcelsius does not support this simple feature. Any alternative ways?
Many thanks!

Currently, Xcelsius does not support display of labels at data points. It would be difficult to move and update labels on a chart with dynamically updated data. However, a work around for a static chart would be to add a Label component in the desired location. This can be done for multiple static charts by using dynamic visibility.

Data point values on charts

How can I display data point values on the chart? They show
on hover but I need them on a printed version.

Use the dataLabelStyle attribute of cfchartseries.
For example:
dataLabelStyle = "value"
See:
http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000228.htm

Data point Values

By default, Keynote displays the values on each Data Point. Is there anyway I can only put the value on the last Data Point?

Use the dataLabelStyle attribute of cfchartseries.
For example:
dataLabelStyle = "value"

http://livedocs.macromedia.com/coldfusion/7/htmldocs/00000228.htm

Chart - Reading series value but not from data point

Hi All,
I have a single line series on my chart, values on Y axis,
hours along X. I have values for each hour of the day for 24 hours,
e.g. 25 data points.
First value is say 200 at 0000 UTC
Next value is say 300 at 0100 UTC
Next value is say 900 at 0200 UTC
etc. etc.
Now I have this chart loaded, on screen etc. How would I then
find out what the value of the series is when the time (X axis) is
0130 UTC, or 0115 UTC etc. etc.
I.e. I want to be able to say at any time on the X axis, give
me the Y value of the line on chart.
Any pointers gratefully received.
Cheers
Ian

How can I connect dots across missing data points in a line chart?

Hi all!
I have a table in Numbers that I update every few days with a new value for the current date (in this case body metrics like weight, etc.), which looks something like this:
Column 1              Column 2      Column 3
Aug 16, 2011         87.1             15.4
Aug 17, 2011         86.6
Aug 18, 2011         86.1
Aug 19, 2011
Aug 20, 2011         85.7             14.6
Aug 21, 2011         85.3
Every once in a while there will be a missing value for a given date (because I didn't take a reading on that day). When I plot each column against the date on a line chart, there is a gap where there are missing data points. The line does not connect "across" missing data points. Is there a way to make the line connect across missing data points?
Thanks for any help. This thing has been driving me nuts!

Leave your nuts in peace.
Don't use line charts but scatter charts.
These ones are able to do the trick.
Of course to do that you must study a bit of Numbers User Guide.
In column D of the Main table, the formula is :
=IF(ISBLANK($B),99999,ROW())
In column E of the Main table, the formula is :
=IF(ISBLANK($C),99999,ROW())
Now I describe the table charter.
In column A, the formula is :
=IFERROR(DAY(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $D,ROW())-1,0)),"")
In column B,the formula is :
=IFERROR(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $D,ROW())-1,1),"")
In column C, the formula is :
=IFERROR(DAY(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $E,ROW())-1,0)),"")
In column D, the formula is :
=IFERROR(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,SMALL(Main :: $E,ROW())-1,2),"")
In this table, select the range A1 … D5
and ask for a Scatter chart.
You will get what you need.
I asked that points are joined by curves
I just edited the parameters of Xaxis and Yaxis to get a cleaner look.
I repeat one more time that knowing what is written in the User Guides is useful to be able to solve problems with no obvious answer.

How to include the 1st data point date time in x

Hi,
I use a formular in the Interval from "Axis range and interval"
=IIF(COUNT(Fields!Date_Reading.value, "DataSet1") <=48 ,1 , 12)
However, it always missed the 1st data point date/time, please advise on how to include it always ... !
Thanks !

Hi kkcci8888,
Per my understanding that when you using the expression in the Interval you can't see the first date display in the label, right?
I have tested on my local environment and can reproduce the issue, the issue caused by the setting of the Interval. I assumed the 1st data point date time which haven't display means the minimum date in the report.
If you have specify an kind of "Interval Type", the first date not display as the label, if you keep the "Interval Type" as "Default", you will get it display correctly.
I recommend you to do the setting as below to get it display correctly:
Go to Horizontal Axis Properties
In Axis Options, Select the Axis Type as Scalar.
Deselect "Always include zero".
In Minimum box type [First(Sale_Date)]
note: make sure you have use the order by Sale_Date in the query to order the date already.
keep the "Interval Type" as "Default", the default means "Days", try to modify the expression to specify an new value of the Interval and the type will be "Days" by default.
Click "Labels" on the left pane to check you haven't select the "Hide first and last labels along with this axis":
If you still have any problem, please feel free to ask.

Using Word Easy Table Under Report Generation takes long time to add data points to table and generate report

Hi All,
We used report generation tool kit to generate the report on word and with other API 's under it,we get good reports .
But when the data points are more (> 100 on all channels) it take a long time to write all data and create a table in the word and generate report.
Any sugegstions how to make this happen in some seconds .
Please assist.

Well, I just tried my suggestion. I simulated a 24-channel data producer (I actually generated 25 numbers -- the first number was the row number, followed by 24 random numbers) and generated 100 of these for a total of 2500 double-precision values. I then saved this table to Excel and closed the file. I then opened Word (all using RGT), wrote a single text line "Text with Excel", inserted the previously-created "Excel Object", and saved and closed Word.
First, it worked (sort of). The Table in Word started on a new page, and was in a very tiny font (possibly trying to fit 25 columns on a page? I didn't inspect it very carefully). This is probably "too much data" to really try to write the whole table, unless you format it for, say, 3 significant figures.
Now, timing. I ran this four times, two duplicate sets, one with Excel and Word in "normal" mode, one in "minimized". To my surprise, this didn't make a lot of difference (minimized was less than 10% faster). Here are the approximate times:
Generate the data -- about 1 millisecond.
Write the Excel Report -- about 1.5 seconds
Write the Word Report -- about 10.5 seconds
Seems to me this is way faster than trying to do this directly in Word.

Using band zoom to select all data points within the band

I'm feeling stupid this morning. I'm a new user with 2011, but haven't figured out how to copy a portion of data. I can use view 2D axis system to view my data. Then I use band zoom to get to the portion I need, but for the life of me I can't get it to copy that portion. I have set flags at the beginning and end and such, but the best I get is the beginning point, a single no value point and the end point. I am not getting all the points in between the flags. Am I supposed to somehow flag all points in the zoom view? I have done a search, but can't figure out what I am doing wrong.
Robert
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Hello Robert,
This is a pretty easy and straight forward thing to do:
Put you data into the VIEW window. Then pick the BAND cursor in the toolbar (see below)
Select the "Set Flags" icon in the VIEW windows with the data and the Band Cursor:
After you have the data selected with the FLAGS (the data points will be displayed in a thicker line style) click on the "Copy Data Points" icon:
You will get a full copy of the data in the band, copied to a new channel in the Data Portal. In the example below I dragged the new data into both windows (not that the red data is still highlited by the flags, this it's a thicker line style).
That should answer your question, please let me know if you have additional questions,
