Way to combine multiple columns

I did some quick searching around, not sure if what I am trying to accomplish is the same as "locking columns"
I know very little about numbers. I am working on an inventory list that consists of pricing, models, skus, and serial numbers. I would like to be able to sort by each category without all my data getting mixed around.

Is there a way to combine multiple files that were scanned individually into one?*

Is there a way to combine multiple files that were scanned individually into one?*

Assuming the scans are all PDFs, here is one easy way:
Open the first PDF in Preview.
Duplicate (File > Duplicate) if you want to preserve the original.
Choose View > Contact Sheet.
Drag and drop the other files from the Finder into the Contact Sheet window. You can select the files one at a time or multiple files at once.
Arrange the contact sheet icons in the desired order.
Save.

Best way to combine multiple fact tables in single mart

Hi, quick question that I think I know the answer to, just wanted to bounce it off everyone here to make sure I'm on the right track.
I have a HR datamart that contains several different fact tables. Some of the facts are additive across time (i.e. compensation - people get paid on different days, when I look at a month I want to see the total of all pay dates within that month). The other type of fact is more "status over a set of time" - i.e. a record saying that I'm employed in job X with a salary of Y from a given start date to a given end date.
For the "status over time" type facts, if I choose January 2009 (month level) in the time dimension, what I'd really like to see is the fact records that were in place "as of" the last day of the month - i.e. all records where the start date is on or before 1/1/2009, and whose end date is on or after 1/1/2009. Note that my time dimension does go down to the day level (so you could look at a person "as of" the middle of the month, etc. if you're browsing on a day-by-day basis)
I've set up the join between the time dimension and the fact table as a complex join in the physical layer, with a clause like "DIM_DATE.DATE >= FACT.START_DATE AND DIM_DATE.DATE <= FACT.END_DATE". This seems to work perfectly at the day level - I have no problems at all finding the proper records for a person as of any given day.
However, I'm not quite sure how to proceed at the month level. My initial thought is:
a) create a new LTS for the fact table at the month level
b) in the new LTS, add the join to the time dimension
c) in the new LTS, add a where clause similar to LAST_DAY_IND = 'Y' (true for the last day of each month).
Is this the proper way to do this?
Thanks in advance!

Hi Scott,
I think you're on the right track but I don't think you need the last part. Let me generalize the situation to the following tables
DAILY_FACT (
DAILY_FACT_KEY NUMBER, -- PRIMARY KEY
START_DATE_KEY NUMBER, -- FOREIGN KEY TO DATE DIMENSION FOR START DATE
END_DATE_KEY NUMBER, -- FOREIGN KEY TO DATE DIMENSION FOR END DATE
DAILY_VALUE NUMBER); -- FACT MEASURE
MONTHLY_FACT(
MONTHLY_FACT_KEY NUMBER, -- PRIMARY KEY
MONTH_DATE_KEY NUMBER, -- FOREIGN KEY TO DATE DIMENSION, POPULATED WITH THE KEY TO THE LAST DAY OF THE MONTH
MONTHLY_VALUE NUMBER); -- FACT MEASURE at MONTH LEVEL. DATE_KEY is at END of MONTH
DIM_DATE(
DATE_KEY NUMBER,
DATE_VALUE DATE,
DATE_MONTH VARCHAR2(20),
DATE_YEAR NUMBER(4));
DIM_DATE_END (ALIAS OF DIM_DATE for END_DATE_KEY join)
Step 1)
Make the following three joins in the physical layer:
a. DAILY_FACT.START_DATE_KEY = DIM_DATE.DATE_KEY
b. DAILY_FACT.END_DATE_KEY = DIM_DATE_END.DATE_KEY
C. MONTHLY_FACT.DATE_KEY = DIM_DATE.DATE_KEY
Note: The MONTHLY_FACT DATE_KEY is joined to the same instance of the date dimension as the START_DATE_KEY of the DAILY_FACT table. This is because these are the dates you want to make sure are in the same month.
Step 2)
Create a business model and drag DIM_DATE, DAILY_FACT and DIM_DATE_END into it.
Step 3)
Drag the physical table MONTHLY_FACT into the logical table source of the logical table DAILY_FACT.
Step 4)
Set DAILY_VALUE and MONTHLY_VALUE to be aggregates with a "SUM" aggregation function
Step 5)
Drag all required reporting columns to the Presentation layer.
Step 6)
Create your report using the two different measures from the different fact tables.
Step 7)
Filter the report by the Month that joined to the Start Date/Monthly Date (not the one that joined to the end date).
Step 8)
You're done.
The act of combining the two facts into one logical table allows you to report on them at the same time. The strategy of joining the START_DATE_KEY and the MONTH_DATE_KEY allows you to make sure that the daily measure start date will be in the same month as the monthly fact table.
Hope that helps!
-Joe

Is there a way to have multiple columns of questions on my form?

I'm trying to find if there is a way to have a segment of my form in a two column format because I have a lot of one line questions to ask (of which many will be left blank) and I don't want to overwhelm our clients with an excessive amount of scrolling.
The format I am looking for would be roughly like this:
Item One      [text input]        Item Five      [text input]
Item Two     [text input]        Item Six        [text input]
Item Three   [text input]        Item Seven    [text input]
Item Four     [text input]        Item Eight     [text input]

That's excellent news! Everything else about Forms Central is perfectly intuitive and just what we need. Once the multi-column capability is out, I think we will be set for a long time to come.

How to combine multiple columns into one column and delete value the row (NULL) in sql server for my example ?

My Example :
Before:
Columns
name
address
               jon                      DFG
               has                     NULL
               adil                     DER
After:
Column
                               Total
                  name : jon , address : DFG
                  name : has
                  name : adil , address : DER

Why not doing such reports on the client site?
create table #t (name varchar(10),address varchar(20))
insert into #t values ('jon','dfg'),('has',null),('adil','der')
select n,case when right(n,1)=':' then replace(n,'address:','') else n end
from
select concat('name:',name, ' address:',address ) n from #t
) as der

Is there any way to combine multiple Apple IDs for the same individual?

I have two Apple IDs, one of which has a .mac email address. Both have the same name and physical address. With the new iTunes and the coming iCloud, it would be convenient to combine the two for purchase history and access, app updates, etc.
How can I do this?

So far it seems you can't.
The only thing that becomes a problem would be purchase history I guess, but you can use Home Sharing in iTunes on your computer to share any purchases from one account to the other.

Any way to combine multiple incoming streams and send it back to clients?

I am trying to make a server that receives HUNDREDS of incoming audio streams and then combines them into one stream and send it back to all clients- like audio conferencing. Is it possible to combine those streams together into a single one and send it to the receiving ends? I read on some topics in the forum and there really doesnt seem to be any answers.
Also, if its not possible to combine those streams then is the next "best" alternative be having the server send all the audio streams from everyone to everyone? Its going to take a lot of resources doing that i think... any ideas? Thanks!

hi bgl. I read that thread and its a litle bit hard to follow. it seems that you managed to grab Bytes of the incoming audio stream and continuing grabing them in a loop. I guess you use the player to play the Bytes? I also dont really see how i can mix all the Bytes together from lets say 10 users. Can you show me an example of it? Like making an incoming stream into Bytes and playing it. I assume it would have the same effect as playing the stream using a player? thanks

What is the best way to combine multiple projects into one?

My guess would be to turn them into compound clips and then make the transfer that way, but is that the only way?

You can merge Events from the file menu.
Select the Events, File > Merge Events
You could also convert project timlines into CC timlines which would be saved in an Event.
Open project timeline, select all, copy and then paste into a CC timeline.

Is there a way to combine multiple tables/sheets into one file?

In Excel if add more than one sheet you have tabs at the bottom that you can click on and name. Does Numbers have something similar? I searched support and even googled the question but couldn't really find an answer. I appreicate any help!!!
Thanks!!

More a vocabulary issue than anything else, although the underlying models are somehwat different.
A Numbers document must have at least one Sheet, the large canvas on which other objects are placed.
Every Sheet starts with one Table on it. You can add several tables to a Sheet. Usually hese are (relatively) small, single purpose tables, typically used to perform calculations on the contents of the main table, to hold data used by the main table, to extract data from the main table for use in a Chart, or for other purposes. As each Table is added, its icon is added to the list, under the Sheet to which it was added. Tables can be moved to a different sheet by dragging their icons in the Sheets list. umbers aoutomatically updates all formulas to fit the new location.
Charts can be added to a Sheet by selectng the data to be graphed, then choosing the chart type from the Charts button in the Toolbar. An icon for each chart is added to the list (under its Sheet) as the chart is created.
When you add a Sheet to a Numbers document, that Sheet's icon appears in the Sheets list to the left of the working area (where the active Sheet and its contents are displayed). Charts can be moved to a differet Sheet by dragging their icons.
Other objects (Text boxes, graphics objects) can also be added to the Sheet. No icons appear for these.
The list of items for each Sheet can be collapsed (by clicking the disclosure triangle beside the Sheet name), hiding the Table and Chart names, and leaving only the Sheet name and icon showing in the Sheets list.
Only one sheet may be viewed at a time. To switch between sheets, click the icon of the Shhet to which you want to go, or click the icon of an item on that sheet to bring the sheet to the front with the clicked item on the screen.
For more detail, and a better introduction to Numbers, I'd recommend reading at least the first four chapters of the Numbers '09 User Guide, available through the Help menu in Numbers, or from this page.

Barry

How to combine multiple purchased aac files into one aac file

I recently purchased in iTunes an album consisting of 16 m4a files. I ended up creating a playlist in iTunes for the songs. I would like to create one m4a file which combines all and then play it in iTunes. Is the copy protection preventing me from doing so?
I know how to convert m4a files that I have converted to mp3 and combine them using Terminal with a cat command. Then I import that combined file into iTunes. All is well in this case. I tried this with the 16 m4a files and I could not import the resultant mp3 file into iTunes.
Any way to combine multiple purchased aac files?

A simple way to accomplish the job, though not recommended is to print the 2 page file to a new PDF with multi-up (assuming you select vertical rather than horizontal locations) and adjust the paper in the Adobe PDF printer to be 8.5X22. At least you might give it a shot. Some variation, along with rotation possibly, might work.

Filtering Multiple Columns at once....

Hi All,
I was wondering if anybody had a smart way of filtering multiple columns. I know you can use excel formulas (index, v and h lookup etc), to achieve this but i need to improve performance and would like to reduce the formulas in my design
Example
                    A                B            C             D                E        F
                Income     Budget     Profit       Profit
1 Area 1    100           50            10            5
2 Area 2    150           25             3             1
On the canvas I will have combox with the values Income and Profit and a scorecard component looking at columns E and F
When a user selects Income, data in A and B moves to E and F
When a suer selects Porfit, data in C and D mooves to E and F
Any suggestions would be appreciated.....

HI Bija
Try using Filtered Rows as insertion type... and also try using list box instead of combo box if you have space as we should always try to apply WYSIWYG principle and combo box is not very good
hope this helps

Is there a way to combine connections?

is there a way to combine multiple connetions for example (ethernet + airport + bluetooth) to create more bandwidth?
I know there was a way to do it in windows but is there a way for mac?

Hey M,
So a wired connection to, e.g., a cable modem; a separate wireless connection to a base station and then, e.g., a DSL modem: Two completely separate connections... right?
Have a look at this: Mac OS X 10.4 Help: Combining Ethernet ports.
Good luck,

Fill multiple columns of the report at once ???

I have been told that when coding a Report, there is some way to fill multiple columns of the report at once.
Instead of
select
field1,
field2....
You could do
<????> filling field 1 and 2
My source was vague as to what kind of thing it would be that could give a value to more than one column at one time.
Can anyone help me here? Sorry to not have any more specifics.
Thanks, Wayne

You can have placeholder columns and assign the output of your select statement to the place holder columns.
