Using conditional formattign in excel

Hello,
I am trying to use conditional formatting on a cell (let's call it H1) that already has a formula in it. The cell is an average of 7 other cells (A1-G1). I want to highlight H1 only when 3 of the 7 cells (A1-G1) are filled. Basically I don't want to create an average in H1 if it is creating an average of only 3 cells and I want an easy indication of those cells where there is text in only 3 of the 7 cells!
Can someone help me out?
Thanks,
Megan

Chaining iBots without using Conditional Requests?

I am using iBots with delivery content and a java script to export this to excel files. Now I want to chain these iBots.
If I use the first iBot to run the 2nd iBot I need to have a conditional request. But these iBots don't have conditional requests.
Using conditional requests equal to the delivery content would be requesting the same report twice. The reports are large and time a lot of time.
So how can I create a chain without requesting all the reports two times?

Hi,
May I know how you configured the Conditional Formatting in detail? Especially what conditions you selected.
As for the question, there is no build-in feature in Outlook to realize your request, the only method I can think of is to use VBA.

Find missing data using conditional formatting?

Hello,
I'm familiar with Excel but new to Numbers.
Can I use conditional formatting to find the blank cells in a table?
If so, how?
If not, what would be the best way to find blank cells in a large table?
Thanks

Jerry's suggestion in that thread was:
Designate a blank cell to be your comparison for the conditional format and set a fill color to be present whenever your data cells are "Equal To" the content of the blank cell that you have designated. Then when you enter data, the fill color will revert to what it was for the rest of the table.
The problem with that method was that zero values and blank cells both triggered the conditional formatting. Badunit chimed in with:
Use "text is" instead of "equal to".
Which solved that problem.
Here's an example, using the conditional formatting rule incorporating the revised suggestion:
The conditional format rule shown is applied to all of the cells in column B.

How do i use conditional formatting to edit the color of other selected other cells?

I have been playing around with the conditional formatting feature of Numbers, I have figured out how to change font and background color of the cell i am working with.
However what i am looking to do is apply a background color formatting to another cell (i.e. F2) if conditions are met in (B2).
the end game is this,
I want to make a column of check boxes, and using contional formating i want adject cells to change color (I.e. the example above: if (B2) is a check box, then when unchecked the reffered Cell (F2) does nothing, but when check the color of (F2) changes)
I can make this happen with Logic equations, the give (i.e. F2) some letter or number value, then using conditional formats i can have the color change. but this leaves that particular cell useless to me (i.e. F2) I am not free to enter or edit text in that cell. (i.e. =IF(B2=TRUE,"Paid","Due") ----> then add a conditional statement that chages color when the value is either "Paid" or "Due")
How do i have F2 change color, when B2 is checked and still retain the ability to enter information (or potential have another formula) in F2? (The Cell is not used up by "Paid" or "Due" it is editable just like any other cell)
is there anyway to change cell characteristics like font, color, and background color inside a formula, because in that way i would be able build it manually
i tried using the formula editor inside the conditional format pane, but the only infor it will allow me to retain is one partictular cell. i cannot add modifiers like "+" or "=" or anything else. what is that space used for then?
thanks for anyones help

MC,
You can do what you want in Numbers. It requires an auxiliary column and it's a bit tedious to set up because conditional formatting by comparison to another cell isn't relative, so each cell has to be programmed individually with no option to Paste or Fill to other cells in a range.
For explanation purposes, let's say your checkbox is A2, your cell to be conditionally formatted is B2, and your auxiliary cell is C2. To have the format of B2 determined by the checkbox status in A2, you will:
1. In C2 write: =IF(A, B, " ") The " " is any string or value that you don't expect to encounter in B normally, and using the space character means you don't have to worry about having it visible if C is in View.
2. In B2 use Conditional Format: "Equal To" cell C2 and set your text and fill attributes to be used when the box in A is checked.
That's it. Do that for every cell in the range.

Web Analysis Problem using the "Send to Excel" service

I built reports using WebAnalysis 9.3.0.
I attached the "Send to Excel" service button to my report. I am using a combination of Excel 2003 & 2007.
I have the following settings in my webanalysis.properties file:
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
My problem is when I try to use the "Send to Excel" button. For "small" reports Excel opens quickly with my report information. Small being around 1,000 rows and 20 columns. If I add more rows, say another 400 or so - Excel never opens with my report information. Web Analysis sits there for about 5 minutes or so and does nothing. After that I can start using WA again - but no report in Excel.
I get the same result by right clicking on the report in WA Studio and selecting "Export Data..."
Any ideas?
Thanks!

Hyperion support suggested I try adding the Excel path to my webanalysis.properties file
So I now have:
ExcelPath=D:\\Progra~1\Micros~1\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe;C:\\Progra~1\Micros~2\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe
MaxDataCellLimit=200000
XLExportMaxRows=60000
XLExportMaxColumns=200
ResolveDimSetAliases=false
Where D:\\Progra~1\Micros~1\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe is the path to Excel as installed on the server where WA Studio is installed.
And C:\\Progra~1\Micros~2\\OFFICE11\\Excel.exe is the path to Excel as installed on my laptop.
This did not correct my problem.
Am I using the ExcelPath=.... correctly?
I was not sure this would work since WA Studio successfully starts Excel for "smaller" reports. But I tried it anyway.
Any ideas?

Can you transfer data from one numbers spreadsheet to another using conditional formatting?

I have a tracker document set up for client payments and when I indicate payment received, it flags green using conditional formatting. However I would like these to automatically transfer to another sheet - without having to cut and paste the associated data to the other sheet. Can I set up conditional formatting to do this? If not how could I get and automatic transfer?
thanks forum.

Hi Kangers,
There are a number of ways to transfer data from one table to the next. It should not be hard to set up.
Conditional formatting would not be involved it moving the data but you could set it up to flag the data in the new table.
Without knowing what your tables and data look like it is hard to propose a solution.

How to determine the process alias using condition technique in Transportation & Shipment Scheudling?

Dear All,
I am trying to use the functionality Transportation and Shipment Scheduling in GATP.
I would like to know that how the sytem determines the process alias using condition technique in Transportation & Shipment Scheudling?
As the Transportation & Shipment Scheduling functionality can be extended further by using the configurable process to overcome the complex scenario. But it needs that process alias should not be determined by using the condition technique.
Moreover, is it possible to use both functionality simultaneously in the system. i.e. Transportation and Shipment Scheduling using condition technique and Transportation and Shipment Scheduling using configurable process?
Thanks & Regards
Piyush Ranpura

Hi Piyush,
I have added a small overview in the SCN WIKI which shows you the two ways for the process alias determination and also here as attachment:
http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/SCM/Time+and+Scheduling+Functions
Yes, depending on your customizing you can use both scheduling methods in parallel. e.g. you activate CPS just for a specific ITEM category or product and/or customer and/or....what ever you want.

How to use conditional success Screen in SMP2.3 HWC?

Hi All,
Do anybody have reference for conditional success screen,
I gone through this link SUP 2.2 Conditional Navigation Issue
but i didnt able to do how to use conditional success Screen.
If anybody have reference please provide me.
Regards,
Sravanya

That works. Follow the below steps.
1. Create a key on the selection screen: click on the selection screen>properties>keys>Add a key,ex. "value".
2. MenuItem>In the properties of menu item>Parameter mappings>map the key with the key created in last step.ie. "value" instead of the key of the choice box.
3. Get the value selected from choicebox:
function customValidateScreen(screenKey, values) {
if(screenKey === "Selection")
var form = document.forms[screenKey + "Form"];
if(form){
SelectionValue = form.ChoiceboxKey.value;
//ChoiceboxKey is the key of choicebox.
//Declare a global value "SelectionValue "
3. Map PK from program:
customBeforeSubmit = function(screenKey, actionName, dataMessageToSend) {
if(screenKey =="Selection" && actionName=="GoToChart" ){
var myNewValue2 = new MessageValue();
myNewValue2.setKey("Value");// Key created in the screen "Selection"
myNewValue2.setValue(""+SelectionValue );
myNewValue2.setType("TEXT");
var mvc = dataMessageToSend.getValues();
if( mvc ) {
mvc.add( myNewValue1.getKey(), myNewValue1 );
// So in the above way the data from choice box is send to online request.
To do the conditional navigation you have to use the global value created,ex.
hwc.customConditionalNavigation = function(currentScreenKey, actionKeyName, defaultNextScreen, conditionName, incomingDataMessage) {
if( conditionName === 'Data'&& SelectionValue == "PieChart") {
         return false;
     }else{
    return true;
Hope you understand how I did this.

Transportation time using condition technique!!

Hi All,
Can anyone tell how transportation time is calculated using condition technique (APO)? we have defined following in access sequence for scheduling
Plant
Destination country
Spd trans. zone
Shipping Conditions
Weight group
Factory Calendar ID
Now if no transportation lane is defined between plant A and ship to party B. Then how system is going to calculate the delivery date? where do we define transportation time between A and B or how it is getting calculated?

HI,
You can define a specific transporation duration in the condition technique per chracteristic (e.g. Shipto, plant, etc.).
Create new condtion records via TA /sapCND/AU11. Create a entry for TRAN and choose a access sequence. There you define a duration e.g. for a ship-to, etc.
Three options to find a transporation duration:
1. Directly from the transportation lane (TA /SAPAPO/SCC_TL1)
2. Estimated by the system if the transporation lane does not contain any duration (except if the Fix-Duration Indicator was set, note 1464309)
(The system calculates the transportation time based on the distance between the start and destination location and the average speed of the means of transport used.)
3. from the contion technique (TA /SAPCND/AU11)
(A Transportation calendar can be defined just via scheduling userexit 002 for the condition technique.)
Further details in the SAP Help Docu:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_scm50/helpdata/en/3a/92e217b3f54a5eae7a4ac8a99e5e87/content.htm

Can I use conditional build tags in CSS files?

I am using RoboHelp X5.0.2 and building CHM files.
I use conditional build tags to output different Help files
for the different products we have that all have similarities.
In the past I have setup the CSS file to show headers, links
etc in the color scheme we use to keep the look and feel of our
branding. One of the new products uses a different branding color
scheme.
I was wondering if there is a way I can use conditional build
tags in the CSS file so that when I build one type of help it uses
header in one color and when I build another help it uses a
different header color. Does anyone know how to do this? If it is
not possible in my current version, is it possible in the latest
version of Robohelp?

[WORKAROUND ALERT IN X502]
For .chm output, you could:
1. In the Topics pane, select all the topics (click on one
topic and press Ctrl+A).
2. Right click in the highlighted area and select Properties.
3. In the Appearance tab, select the different style sheet.
4. Click Save.
5. Generate the .chm file.
6. (optional) Repeat steps 1-4 to revert to previous style
sheet setting.
Good luck,
Leon

Performance issues when using Smart View and Excel 2010

Hello, we are experiencing very slow retrieval times when using Smart View and Excel 2010. Currently on v.11.1.3.00 and moved over from Excel 2003 in the last quarter. The same spreadsheets in 2010 (recreated) are running much slower than they used to in 2003 and I was wondering if anyone else out there has experienced similar problems?
It looks like there is some background caching going on as when you copy and paste the contents into a new file and retrieve it is better.....initially. The size of the files are generally less than 2mb and there aren't an expecially large number of subcubes requested so I am at a loss to explain or alleviate the issues.
Any advice / tips on how to optimise the performance would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nick

Hi Nick,
Office 2010 (32 bit) only is supported.
Also check these documents:
Refresh in Smart View 11.1.2.1 is Slow with MS Office 2010. (Doc ID 1362557.1)

Advanced Search using conditional & logical operators+ sharepoint 2010

Hi Team,
We have an requirement something like this. we have to search values from Custom SharePoint List using Conditional & Logical Operators in SharePoint 2010. how can i achieve this ? if some one has worked on something like this, can you please share the
details to my email id ([email protected])
Thanks in Advance.
Cheers, San

Hi Santhosh,
If you have only one list, then you can use CAML query to perform search in that list. You can write code to generate dynamic CAML based on selection in the filter.
If have to perform the search function on multiple list then you can use Search object model and create dynamic query and execute it using Search OM.
