Using Checkboxes In Formulas

I'm wondering if it is at all possible to use the data from a checkbox within a formula. What I have done is I have setup a table for my bill payments for each month. I have a checkbox whether I've paid it off or not. I have a total paid cell and I'd like it to reflect the new amounts when I've checked or unchecked a checkbox. I haven't found a way how and Numbers Help isn't as helpful as one would hope.
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks.

Here are some other ways to use the checkboxes:
A checked box = TRUE, an unchecked box = False. The bottom shows how the same type of data can be presented in different ways.

How to modify a lookup field-type to use checkbox instead of radiobutton?

How to modify a lookup field-type to use checkbox instead of radiobutton?
I would like to modify the behavior for the lookup field.
Normally you get a screen where it is possible to search through a lookup. The items resulted from the search are listed as radiobutton items. Therefore you can select only one at the time to be added.
Is it possible to have the items to be listed as checkbox instead? So that you can check multiple items and therefore be able to add multiple items at the time?
For example:
To add the user to 10 different groups on MS-AD.
It is desired to have the ability to check multiple groups to be added instead only one at the time.
My client would like to use this feature in many other situations.

Displaying will not be a big deal but with that you have to customize the action class and its working as well.

"Enable Disk Use" checkbox is grayed out, can't untick.

Hi,
I just got my new iPod 30 GB video today! I've been reading these discussions, but haven't found an answer for this tiny problem of mine.
"Do Not Disconnect" constantly shows on the iPod screen when it's connected on the computer. Many have suggested ticking off "Enable Disk Use", but here's the problem: it's grayed out, and I can't change it, no matter what. I've gone through iTunes prefs, by right-clicking on the iPod in iTunes and selecting "iPod Options". My system seems to show iPod as a movable disk, but iTunes recognises it and I can easily put music into it, so I guess that isn't a problem (or is it?).
But how could I get my hands on the "Enable Disk Use" checkbox? It just isn't "tickable" now.
Thanks!

If you have your iPod set to manual update, the "Enable Disk Use" box will be greyed out and ticked by default, in that case use Safely remove Hardware icon or check this link: "Disconnecting iPod from your computer
" http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=61135
For Info:
The iPod offers three ways to transfer music from your computer. You can select one of the following update modes from the iPod Preferences menu in iTunes (Edit=>Preferences=>'iPod' tab):
1) Automatically update all songs and playlists. This is the default mode, in which your entire music library, including playlists, is automatically synced to your iPod. If the music library on your computer exceeds the iPod storage capacity, you are prompted to select a different update method.
2) Automatically update selected playlists only. With this option, iTunes automatically copies the playlists you have selected to the iPod when you connect it to the computer.
3) Manually manage songs and playlists. You can also choose to transfer music to the iPod manually. This allows you to drag and drop individual songs and playlists from iTunes to the iPod.

Using a Math Formula in AS3

I don't know the formula that you're trying to achieve, but the log and sqrt must use positive values.
If you're uncertain if a variable (or formula result) will give you a negative result and you need a positive one, you can use the Math.abs, which return s always a positive value.
I've just altered like this in the first IF:
var q:Number=Math.sqrt(Math.abs(-2*Math.log(p)));
and in the second:
q=Math.sqrt(Math.abs(-2*Math.log(Math.abs(1-p))));
In this case the second formula has two Math.abs since I don't know the result of "1-p" (in this case is negative) and then you multiply by "-2" wich will make the number negative again, so it has to be positive for the square root. If you have the change consider changing the formula to see you can eliminate, so many Math.abs, make it simple.
Otherwise is just a question of predicting results and see if the formula fits right.

Using Table.Join formula takes extremly long time to get results.(Why Query Folding doesn't work?)

Hi,
I built a query with 4 tables inside (load from Oracle DB and two of them are quite big, more than millions of rows). After filtering, I tried to build relationships between tables using Table.Join formula. However, the process took extremly long time to
bring out results (I ended the process after 15 mins' processing). There's a status bar kept updating while the query was processing, which is showed as . I suppose
this is because the query folding didn't working, so PQ had to load all the data to local memory first then do the opertion, instead of doing all the work on the source system side. Am I right? If yes, is there any ways to solve this issue?
Thanks.

Extracting a distinct list of values using the Index formula

In Xcelsius, I am trying to retrieve a distinct list of values from data imported using the Reporting Services button.
In the spreadsheet I am using the following formula:
=INDEX($A2:$A831,MATCH(0,COUNTIF($B$2:B2,$A2:$A831),0))
The above formula works correctly in Xcelsius, but when I select the preview button the values change to #N/A.
Please could you advise on why this does not work?
Many thanks,
Natalie

Hi Natalie,
First, you have to be aware of the fact that Xcelsius "simulates" an Excel function. When you are in design mode, the actual "Excel" (MS code) functions are executed. But when you are in preview mode (or export to a swf), all Excel functions are simulated (Xcelsius code).
The fact that your function works in design mode but not in preview/export may point to a bug.
But there are also certain assumptions (to address speed/efficiency) on the Xcelsius code which may cause the preview to fail. One such assumption is that on the VLOOKUP function, Xcelsius does not recalculate formulas in the index column of the VLOOKUP table array - if the index column contains formulas, the index column will always remain in the initial state (will not dynamically recalculate).
Also, not all features on a supported Excel function works. For example, array formulas are not supported.

Using checkboxes as datasource of TileList - how do I then receive selected checkboxes?

I've been googling and searching for this and it should be simple I'd imagine... (I'm new to Flex so that probably doesn't help:)...
I have an array that I create using CheckBox components. I then use this array as the dataprovider for a TileList and then also create a CheckBox itemrenderer.
The issue I'm having is that, I thought if I went over the underlying checkbox array at a later point (say a button click) - that I'd be able to see some selected items yet none of them show up selected as I iterate over them (even though I've checked some of the checkboxes.)
I have an event on the checkbox rendererer itself and when it fires I do see the selected property set - It's just going over the whole array that I'm not seeing them set. It's as if the underlying dataset is not being modified. What do I need to do so that I can capture the selected checkbox items? (Is the issue something to do with the renderer being reused?) I'm thinking getting a handle to checkbox items from from a TileList would be somewhat common so any help/examples appreciated.
Below is the pertinent code:
[CODE]
dataArray is an array of type [B]CheckBox[/B]
<mx:TileList id="reportMetricsBox"
        borderStyle="solid" height="100%" width="100%" maxColumns="3"
        columnWidth="110" paddingLeft="0" textAlign="left" borderThickness="0"
        dataProvider="{dataArray}">
   <mx:itemRenderer>
       <mx:Component>
           <mx:CheckBox click="handleClick(event)">
               <mx:Script>
                   <![CDATA[
                       import com.foo.event.CheckBoxEvent;
                       private function handleClick(event:Event):void {
                           dispatchEvent(new CheckBoxEvent(CheckBoxEvent.CLICKED, CheckBox(this)));
                   ]]>
               </mx:Script>
           </mx:CheckBox>
       </mx:Component>
   </mx:itemRenderer>
</mx:TileList>
[/CODE]

Here's what I did to fix it...
in my item renderer click handler I set the data selected item:
private function onChange(event:Event):void {
     dispatchEvent(new CheckBoxEvent(CheckBoxEvent.CLICKED, CheckBox(this)));
    data.selected = !data.selected;
I'm assuming that's what I should be doing?

What is the use of fox formula in integrated planning

what is the use of fox formula in integrated planning

Hi,
just as a follow up - the FOX Extension Formula capability of the IP in BW is as others have mentioned - to help develop formulas to execute calculations during planning, forecasting, budgeting, etc. - it allows consultants, like myself, to develop these formulas without the help of an ABAP consultant - but creates ABAP programs behind the scenes.
You can also use these ABAP programs separate from the IP component - once you create a FOX formula you can retrieve the ABAP program and then use it for other activities.
With the FOX you can use variables in a formula, call another ABAP program, generate loops of data both master and transactional, allows IF, THEN statements, and a number of other activiities. There is a limit to the usefulness of the FOX formula process - you may find if the FOX formula is too complex or long that your process will run slowly during the calculations. If this is occurring you will need to debug your ABAP program to see if you can increaase the performance.
Thanks and hope this helps, Pete

Replacement Path Problem (Use in Local Formula or CKF?)

Hello BW Experts,
I have a couple of questions for a query I am currently working on that uses replacement path variables.
I am looking to calculate the difference between 2 dates (u201Ctodays dateu201D u2013 u201Cstatistics dateu201D)
The statistics date is a characteristic in the cube and for u201Ctodays dateu201D I am using a local formula using the SAP replacement path variable for todays date.
Currently I am using the replacement path in a local formula in the columns of the query and this is fine when the reference characteristic is in the querry rows i.e statistics date.
I believe the reference characteristic needs to be in the rows when using a formula variable replacement path in a local formula in the columns as if I remove the u201Cstatistics dateu201D from the rows the replacement path does not work.
The actual query specification requires the u201Cstatistics dateu201D to be a u201Cfree characteristicu201D not part of the rows so the replacement path using a local formula will not work if the u201Cstatistics dateu201D is in the u201Cfree characteristicsu201D
I have also tried using a CKF and using the same formula variable in this but it still did not work with the u201Cstatistics dateu201D in the rows?
Do you know of any solution?
Also could somebody explain what "Characteristic Reference (Constant 1)" means?
Thanks in advance..
Steve

Hi Steve,
I think you are right in infering that the replacement path wouldnt work if you didnt have the reference characteristic key in the rows to enable the replacement.
I think, the solution for you could be Virtual Characteritic.
Have you already thought about this?
I am not aware about the characteristic reference(constant).

Sunmit.

How to use checkboxes in jtable ?

I am trying to use checkboxes in
JTable,I set the property in the jtable column to boolean.The proplem is that i do no know how to use this property in java program.My intension is that,I will have a java form and a java button on it,by clicking the button, i will have to write a code,for example a code that fetches records from a table and displays them on the jtable(on the user interface),when I select the check box corresponding to any row,It should let me either delete or edit that row and this modification has to be reflected to the table in the database. At this time,i can fetch and display but i can not delete or modify any row because I do no know how to use the check box inside the jtable.
Thank you for your help!

How do I insert the date to be continuous but not have the current time inserted using the NOW Formula?

I am using the NOW formula to have the current dated inserted when ever I open my sheet, but I can not figure out how to keep the current time from also being added.

Thank you, but I tried that. This cell formating seems to only work when the cell contains only the formula. I have text included in my formula, so the formating does not allow for it. It reverts to the default and as you see it wont even let you change the date format.

I am going to make a ADG with around 7 columns 6 of which I am going to use checkboxes as Item renderer

I am going to make a ADG with around 7 columns 6 of which I am going to use checkboxes as Item renderers. Each of these 6 checkboxes renderers will be define in separate actionscript files as they will be updating different parts of the ADG data provider. Does this sound like the best option?

Well the only difference is that each checkbox effects a different attribute of the dataprovider of the ADG:
for example this renderer effects the isSelected attribute. I may want to set a different one , hope this explains it better
