Hi Gaurav,
Ya thats what the probelm is that nothing is fixed.... There are six headers and there column number is fixed.
It should take 1st header search in column A if the word "Name"Comes twice it should read twice just below the header Name all the exciting values, then it should go for other Header "Gruop" in Column B and do the same. And this should be done for all six headers.
Eg:
A B C D E F G ------ Column number from excel
Group Number Name Rate IR FR Freq ----- these are headers
1 3 fgh 23 45 56 78
2 5 ty 56 67 67 67
Group Number Name Rate IR FR Freq ---- 2nd set of headers
4 3 ty 33 56 88 100
Hope that now i am bit clear
thanks a lot...

How can I search a word in a column and erase all the rows containing that word?

How can I erase all the rows containing a certain word at once?
Right now I do it manually : I search the word in a certain column with cmd+f, after that it points out where the word is in different rows. And then I manually erase every row but this takes a lot of time when you have 500 row! There must be a way to select all the rows concerned at once and erase them? Thks!

assuming this is something you don't do very often you can simply use the search feature to identify instances of the search term, and select the row, delete the row then search again.
The next level would be to add a new column where you identify that the search term exists in a cell of the row, then you sort by the new column:
B1=IF(IFERROR(FIND("team", A1,1), 0)>0, "FOUND", "")
my search term is "team" change yours as needed.
select B1, copy,
select Column B, paste
Now sort:
Inspect the rows to make sure the rows found are REALLY ones you want to remove. select the ones you want to remove and delete those rows.

Same columns multiple time in Line - Bar Combo Graph

Hi,
i am trying to generate a Line-Bar Graph, where I will have 2 measures "Capacity" & "Utilization Rate" in both Line as well as Bar Format.
I tried taking theses two columns twice in my criteria and then designing it but it does not show properly (as per the scale) sometime when the scale is modified the Line Graph vanishes.
Kindly Suggest.
Regards,
Jitendra

<DataLabels Visible='True' Font='Name:Helvetica; Size:14; Style:Bold; Color:Black;' Position='OutsideTop' ShowOnRollover='False' TransparentBackground='False' BGColor='#b2ccb2' BorderType='Thin' BorderColor='#667f66' AlwaysShowDecimalPlaces='False' NumberType='General' UseThousandsSeparator='True' DecimalPlaces='2' NegativeDisplayType='MinusSign' ShowAsPercentageType='None' ShowOneValueOnStacked='False' ShowPercentDecimalPlaces='False' PercentDecimalPlaces='2' WrapWidth='400' FormatString='%_VALUE' TimeFormatString='%m/%d/%y %T' DrillDownHighlightColor='Blue' DrillDownEnable='False' ShowBarZeroValues='False' TopMargin='2' BottomMargin='2' LeftMargin='3' RightMargin='3' UseAbbreviation='True' />
I've tried using the Position parameter in the example posted above but nothing I try will allow me move the data label centered in the bar versus sitting on top outside of the bar. Any ideas? It seems strange not to have an option of positioning the data labels.

COUNT the same column multiple time with 2 different condition

Hi everyone,
I have a small query but I don't find the answer. Can anyone help me with this one ? Look at this example:
WITH T AS (
SELECT 'a' as Name, 1 as v FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'a' as Name, 2 as v FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'a' as Name, 2 as v FROM DUAL
    UNION ALL
SELECT 'b' as Name, 1 as v FROM DUAL
    UNION ALL
SELECT 'b' as Name, 1 as v FROM DUAL
    UNION ALL
SELECT 'b' as Name, 2 as v FROM DUAL
) SELECT DISTINCT name,
         COUNT(DECODE(v, 1, 1, null)) OVER (PARTITION BY name ORDER BY v) as v1,
         COUNT(DECODE(v, 2, 1, null)) OVER (PARTITION BY name ORDER BY v) as v2
    FROM T
ORDER BY 1;This returns :
NAME V1                     V2
a    1                      0
a    1                      2
b    2                      0
b    2                      1                      But what I need is only one row with the count of 1 and 2 by name. How can I achieve that without using subqueries like (the following query returns the correct output)
WITH T AS (
SELECT 'a' as Name, 1 as v FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'a' as Name, 2 as v FROM DUAL
UNION ALL
SELECT 'a' as Name, 2 as v FROM DUAL
    UNION ALL
SELECT 'b' as Name, 1 as v FROM DUAL
    UNION ALL
SELECT 'b' as Name, 1 as v FROM DUAL
    UNION ALL
SELECT 'b' as Name, 2 as v FROM DUAL
) SELECT DISTINCT t.name,
         (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T z WHERE z.name = t.name and z.v = 1),
         (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM T z WHERE z.name = t.name and z.v = 2)
    FROM T t
ORDER BY 1;The table I'm working on has millions of records and with subqueries it takes ages to executes. The one with analytical function takes less than 3 sec.
Thanks for your help!

Need to search for words with similar meaning

HI,
I want to search for words which are similar in meaning,
for example, search with the keyword LIME should give LIME , LEMON etc.
Can it be done using the inbuilt thesaurus?

I don't know how similar the example that you provided is to your actual problem. Synonyms are not the only relations that you can set. You an also use related terms and hierarchies using broader and narrower terms. In the following example, I have created citrus as a broader term and created lemon, lime, and orange as narrower terms underneath citrus. I have them demonstrated how you can query to return all items from the same category that lemon is in, by first finding the broader term citrus above it, then searching for all narrower terms underneath that. I have included some intermediary results that you don't need to run, just for better understanding of how the query is formed.

Search a Word Document for a particular word

Hi,
I want to search a Word Document based on a particular word, using Java technology.... Could any one of U suggest me a way out as to how to proceed, if possible with code....
Thanks and Regards,
Rajesh.

POI can read & write Word docs.

I have a column in a Numbers document that currently only contains a number--the numbers are different in different columns. Before each number I want to add the words "Pack Qty." How would I do this?

I have a column in a Numbers document that currently contains a number and that number is different in different columns. I want to add the words "Pack Qty" before each number in the column. How do I do that? I'm using Numbers '09 on a brand new Macbook Pro. Thanks!

In an adjacent column add the formula:
="Pack Qty: "&<CELL>
where <CELL> is the cell in the same row where the quantity is,
Like:
E2="Pack Qty: "&D2
select, and hold, the little circle at the bottom right corner of the selction, then drag down

Search for any text in column filter on adf table

Hi,
I have column filter on adf table where I can search for any text starting with by default.
For e.g. you have data my name is sam you can search on table column filter by my and you get the results my name is sam
but I want to search by any word let's say sam and I want to display same result.
Thank you,
Savan Shah.

You probably can use wildcards (% and _ )
for example %my%

Can I search for pdf and word documents at the same time in finder?

I often want to search for more than one file type at a time - for instance pdfs and word docs in a directory, or Jpgs, GIFs, PNGs etc.
Can I do this in the finder in one go (so I can save it as a folder I can then select when I want to)?
I tried typing OR between the 'tokens' it creates, but then it just searches for OR - so not as intelligent as one would think?!
Surely there must be a way to do something as simple as this?
regards
Rob

Forget the whole "tokens" business (I think that is a pretty useless "improvement" to constructing Spotlight searches). Hit command-F to bring up the search window, and set your first criteria, in the example I changed it from the default Kind to Created Date, to keep the number of results manageable. Now hold down the Option key and click on the "+" at the end of the criteria line, it will change to "..." and you get a new criteria line. From the dropdown menu choose "Any" if necessary (this will give you the Boolean OR), then enter what you want in the first sub-head. To get a second sub-head OR criteria click the "+" at the end of the Any line.
I don't generate many MS Word docs, so I just stopped in the example above after typing Microsoft, since that brought up all the MS anything I have from this year (a couple of Power Point thingies sent to me by friends).

Search MS Word for Exact Match

I've got a script that opens an MS Word document, then searches through a directory for each image file (.jpg), then does a find and replace using the filename as the search string, and inserts the image in place of the text it finds. My problem is that
it's not doing an exact match. This means for example that if it looks for image1.jpg and that text exists in the word document inserts the image in it's place (the text being a placeholder). But if mimimage1.jpg was in place before it then it would insert
the .jpg there - not doing an exact match.
Here's the code I've got so far:
# Get variables from XML file
$MyDir = Split-Path $MyInvocation.MyCommand.Definition
# Get settings from variables.xml.
[xml]$settings = get-content "$MyDir\variables-test.xml"
# Assign the settings to local variables.
$SMTP = $settings.Settings.Setting.SMTP
$port = $settings.Settings.Setting.port
$from = $settings.Settings.Setting.EmailFrom
$to = $settings.Settings.Setting.EmailTo
$subject = $settings.Settings.Setting.Subject
$body = $settings.Settings.Setting.Body
$savepath = $settings.Settings.Setting.SavePath
$docfile = $settings.Settings.Setting.WordDoc
$XMLpath = "$MyDir\variables.xml"
[String[]]$strXML=@()
[xml]$xml = get-content $XMLpath
$parse_results = New-Object System.Collections.ArrayList
add-type -AssemblyName "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word"
$wdunits = "Microsoft.Office.Interop.Word.wdunits" -as [type]
$application = New-Object -comobject word.application
$application.visible = $false
$document = $application.documents.open($docfile)
set-variable -name wdGoToLine -value 3 -option constant
set-variable -name wdGoToAbsolute -value 1 -option constant
# Create new directory
$date = (Get-Date -format "dd-MM-yyyy")
$newdir = $savepath + "archive" + "-" + $date
New-Item -ItemType directory -Path $newdir
# Search Word document for filename and insert image
foreach($file in Get-ChildItem $savepath -Filter *.jpg)
if ($application.Selection.Find.Text = $file)
if ($application.Selection.Find.Execute())
$insertfile = $savepath + $file
$objSelection = $application.selection
$objShape = $objSelection.InlineShapes.AddPicture($insertfile)
$gotoline = $objSelection.GoTo($wdGoToLine, $wdGoToAbsolute,1)
# Move spreadsheets and images to archive location and cleanup after dfm2xls.ps1 before ending script
foreach($movexlsx in Get-ChildItem $savepath -Filter *.xlsx)
$xlpath = $savepath + $movexlsx
Move-Item $xlpath $newdir
foreach($movejpg in Get-ChildItem $savepath -Filter *.jpg)
$imgpath = $savepath + $movejpg
Move-Item $imgpath $newdir
# Save document then close application
$newsave = $savepath + $date + "-report.docx"
$document.SaveAs([ref]$newsave)
$document.Close()
$application.quit()
At the moment it doesn't do an exact match but I've tried using:
$MatchWholeWord = $True
$MatchCase = $False
and then
$application.Selection.Find.Execute($MatchWholeWord, $MatchCase)
But that stopped it from finding any matches. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance

Hi AJ Mellor,
If you want to replace the words of the .jpg file's name with the picture in word file, this script should be helpful for you to modify your script:
Hey, Scripting Guy! How Can I Read Words in a Text File and Make Those Same Word Italic in a Word Document?
Insert pictures in a folder into a Word document (PowerShell)
In addition, to get the words of the file name instead of the full path name, please refer to the script below:
$files = Get-ChildItem $savepath -Filter *.jpg
$words = $files.basename
foreach($word in $words){
I hope this helps.

Highlight words in link column..how to retain case?

I learned a lot from this thread... Highlight Search results within a linked column ...and I have the solution implemented and working perfectly...almost.
My query is essentially as follows...
select foo, bar, replace(upper(PROJECT_NAME),upper(:P2_SEARCH),'<spann style="font-weight: bold; color: red;">' || :P2_SEARCH || '</span>') as PROJECT_NAME_LINK
from Projects
where upper(PROJECT_NAME) like '%' || upper(:P2_SEARCH) || '%';
Without the search and highlight words enabled...the result is essentially...
foo1 bar1 ABC123
foo2 bar2 EFG456
With the search and highlight words enabled...the result for searching on "a" is...
foo1 bar1 aBC123
My small remaining issue is that the replaced and highlighted search term is always inserted in the case (upper/lower) that the search term was entered. In contrast, the default method utilized by ApEx seems to be able to retain the case when highlighting the text.
Any idea how I can retain the case within my highlight words link column?
Any idea how the ApEx function does this? (maybe the concept can be applied)
Matt

I talked to Raj who posted the original solution to my issue in the above referenced thread from 2001.(apparently this forum rendered out some of his posting which made it hard to understand...)
select decode(instr(upper(emp.ename),upper(:P1_SEARCH)),
0, emp.ename,
substr(emp.ename,1,
instr(upper(emp.ename),upper(:P1_SEARCH)) - 1)
|| '<spann style="color:blue;">' ||
substr(emp.ename, instr(upper(emp.ename),upper(:P1_SEARCH)),
length (:P1_SEARCH))
|| '</spann>' ||
substr(emp.ename, instr(upper(emp.ename),upper(:P1_SEARCH)) + length(:P1_SEARCH) )) my_column_alias
from emp;
(be sure to correct the spelling of "spann")
This solution works great...thanks Raj!
