When selecting one cell, multiple cells highlight

When I am working with Excel 2010, I try to select a single cell however multiple cells get highlighted. It will highlight usually the next 5-6 cells in the same row. It occurs randomly on random cells, but happens about 25% of the time. If I click the
cell and it does its highlighting thing, I usually have to click away in another cell and then re-click the first one to get it to go away. Also, if I just try to ignore the highlighted cells and try to work as normal, when I try to tab to the next cell in
the row, it will only let me tab between the cells in the column that are highlighted. It is not a mouse problem, I am not accidentally selecting multiple cells, and it happens on documents I created as well as documents others have created. It will also happens
on a new, blank document or others completely stripped of any kind of potentially hidden formatting. I have not tried to re-install Office yet, but that will be next step if no one has a solution. Thanks

I ran into this problem today working in Excel 2010 at 90% zoom.
First I tried F8 and Shift+F8 but neither of them worked.
Next I changed the zoom levels up and down and this worked while I was at a different zoom level than the document was saved in but went back to the same problem when I tried working at 90% zoom again.
Finally I came across the fix mentioned below from July 2, 2012 that suggested switching from Normal View to Page and then to Print view and back to Normal and this worked!!! Thanks to all for your input below, you saved my Monday morning!
LIST OF POSSIBLE FIXES:
1. Try using the F8 and/or Shift+F8 [extend selection] to toggle back and forth.
2. Change zoom level of your document up or down [this was only a temporary fix for me].
3. Change page layout between Normal, Page Layout, and Page Break Preview (the 3 boxes at the bottom right hand corner of excel spreadsheet) then back to Normal.

Inconsistent behavior when selecting single or multiple messages

Mail seems very sensitive when selecting messages, either single or multiple. It often opens a message I have single clicked on (I do not use the pane) so that I could delete, and when selecting multiple messages for deletion or filing it often opens them all up as if i double clicked on the last one selected even though i didn't double click. This happens with both an external mouse and when using the trackpad button on my PB, and i have moved the double click settings all the way to the far right but that still didn't fix it. I have never had this problem with any other program, and I regularly select multiple messages in Entourage and never accidently open multiple copies.
I am glad that Mail warns you if you are up above a certain number so it won't accidently open 50 messages in 50 windows, but it is still annoying. Is there any fix for this or is Mail just extra sensitive to message selection somehow? I swear it opens messages sometimes with a single click though. Any thoughts/ideas/solutions are appreciated.
Thanks,
-Lewis

okay, i've just begun using Mail so perhaps it's just something that i am doing that i can learn to change, but if anyone else has experienced this and has any hints as to what i'm doing or what's going please let me know. it happens quite frequently and is very annoying. i gave mail a shot on another computer a couple of years ago and i don't remember if this happened or not, but this is the first time i've used it consistently.
thanks!

Set select one of the cell in subtotal row in ALV report

Dear all,
I have a ALV report that has subtotal amount by Vendor ID.
I want to set the selection at vendor ID column (same row with subtotal).
I tried both set_selected_cell() and set_current_cell() methods, the cell selected is incorrect. It doesnt seem to be able to select any cell at the same row of SUBTOTAL.
lr_selections = ref_table->get_selections( ).
      lt_current_cell = lr_selections->get_current_cell( ).
      lt_current_cell-row = lt_current_cell-row.
      lt_current_cell-columnname = 'LIFNR'.
      lr_selections->set_current_cell( lt_current_cell ).
Please help. Thanks.

Need to select one from multiple values from a parameter memory area

Hello,
I am accessing transaction CKM3N, and, by using the old/classical debugger, it's possible to see that the parameter ID BDTJ (2nd box of the Period/Year parameter line) contains not one but 2 values (in the old/classical debugger version, go to GOTO->System Areas-> Sap Memory):
BDTJ ( 4)G <2009>
L <2008>
I want to access the value from the line that contains 'L', not 2009, from the one that holds 'G'.
How do I differentiate between them, how do I access one specific value when a single parameter ID has more than one value assigned to it ?
Thanks in advance,
Avraham

Ah, youre actually asking different things.
In your topic title, you say youre running separate instances
In your body text, you say you are under different user/schema
So tell me, do you have more than one database or not? How many entries in your TNS file?
I would say, for "multiple database instances"
SELECT
a.id, b.id
FROM
tableA a
INNER JOIN
tableB@OTHER_DATABASE_LINK_NAME b <--NOTE!
USING(id)And of course you will have to look up CREATE PUBLIC DATABASE LINK sql..

Select one among multiple record

Dear all,
how can i create a select statement which returns only one record if there are the same values in tkn and numero column?
Table ROSE
TKN NUMERO
75684523 4523
75684523 4523
75684523 4523
Thank you,

You can just use DISTINCT keyword if you have just two columns in your table
with t as
    select 75684523 tkn, 4523 numero from dual union all
select 75684523, 4523 from dual union all
select 75684523, 4523 from dual union all
select 99984523, 3333 from dual union all
select 99984523, 3333 from dual
select distinct tkn,numero from t;
TKN                    NUMERO
99984523               3333
75684523               4523       Or if you have more number of columns in the table but still you want to get only one row then you can use either of the above mentioned methods by gurus.
with t as
    select 75684523 tkn, 4523 numero, 12 eid from dual union all
select 75684523, 4523, 12 from dual union all
select 75684523, 4523, 13 from dual union all
select 99984523, 3333, 14 from dual union all
select 99984523, 3333, 15 from dual
select l.tkn, l.numero, eid
from
       select t.tkn, t.numero,eid, row_number() over (partition by t.tkn, t.numero order by 1) rn
       from t

Selecting one of multiple midi inputs in Garageband

Hi,
I've connected an M-Audio Midisport 4X4 to my powerbook G4 and am trying to control the synths in Reason Adapted at the same time as a synth in Garageband, in order to play them together.
Does anyone know how to select the midi input in Garageband? At the moment it only acknowledges that there are 4 inputs and all controllers set off the synths...Reason is fine, you can select which midi input you want...I have Garageband 2...does version 3 have this option or have I overlooked something in 2?
Thanks for your help,

Can't use multiple cell delete function in excel running windows parallel

Does anyone know how to delete muliple cells in an excel spreadsheet, running windows 7 using parallel operating system? When I click on multiple cells and hit the <delete> key only the one cell within the top left of the range deletes, the remaining highlited range does not. The only way (I have found) is to right click the highlited range and use the command <clear contents>. Anyone? Anyone?

After I posted this query, another link came up:

Selecting and Dragging multiple clips - CS6 Sniper mode

With the introduction of ability to select Edit Points, now it's inconvenient to drag multiple selected clips or add clips to selection because in some cases - depending on timeline zoom state and/or clip duration. The edit points are altered instead of the clips, that behaviour drives me nuts. It leads to a necessity to do one of the following actions before selecting and/or dragging multiple clips with comfort:
sniper mode - put the cursor over a place in the selection where the cursor will not indicate Edit Point trimming mode.
to avoid loosing selection when using sniper mode - Group the clips after adding every clip to selection and/or after a dragging operation
dynamically change zoom state so that you will not have to use sniper mode
use copy/cut/paste - may involve a necessity to do additional pre-pasting steps
IMHO, this behaviour should be rethinked.
How fast it was in CS5.5 and older versions:
Please, Premiere Pro Programming Team, especially Tim Gogolin, Steve Hoeg, Peter Lee, Gerry Miller, James Mork, Vivek Neelamegam, Axel Schildan, Jerry Scoggins, Sven Skwirblies, Tod Snook, Jesse Zibble, rethink the behaviour of selecting and dragging clips. Start giving links to beta-versions to other editors too, not only to editors like Philip Bloom.
Selecting edit points is sometimes helpful and sometimes distracting.
To get the best of two worlds (CS6 edit points vs. CS5.5 and older) - a switch could be added to Keyboard Shortcuts list, like the "hidden" Add Clip Marker shortcut.
Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points".
When Shift- or Shift+Alt- key is pressed and some Clip is selected, clicking on an edit point of another clip should add a clip to selection in the same way as previous versions of Premiere Pro did:
To drag clips in legacy sniper-free mode only a switch can help. Let's name it "Application > Sequence > Select Edit Points when Multiple Clips are Selected".
To add comfort to the editing process - selecting/dragging multiple clips - additional switches cannot be avoided. Additionally you may add an option to the Preferences > Trim:
Allow Selection tool to choose Roll and Ripple trims without modifier key
Allow Selection tool to select Edit Points while multiple Clips are selected

With all due respect Kevin, nobody at Adobe has the right to change a program SO drastically. I am also a mouse person, and am MUCH faster using the mouse, vs the keyboard.
When people have invested YEARS into a program like Adobe, they get used to things, how things work, the feel of a program. I really don't see how you all can just change it on a whim. IF you are going to do this, BOTH methods should still work. You cannot just stop the way people are used to editing. You can't just decide to change a program so drastically, that it doesn't feel like a program we have grown to love over many long years. If Adobe on a whole is changing things, just because a few people in your company voice opinions like I've quoted below, it's not the way to go. Adobe should be really putting feelers out there, and seeing how people are really using the program. Things should be getting easier, more powerful, sure that's natural, but you can't just decide to remove things that mouse users do every day. :-(
Upgrading a program, and changing it to this degree, are two different things in my book. I have not yet upgraded, but it is very scary - the things I'm seeing. For one, way way too many bugs. The amount of bugs on so many boards being reported are just beyond comprehension.
And a final note, I for one, am very glad Steven is posting these videos ( I'd like to hear him go through steps though - just watching the video with no audio of what he is doing is not so great, however after watching some of his posts, he's knows what he's doing, and has a good head to think with )
I mostly read posts, but I thought I would voice my opinion, if none of us speak up, nothing will get changed. I'm really hoping that Adobe implements some change in the next revision .5 or whatever it will be called. Reading posts like this one are really depressing. Did you watch Steven's video on a simple task as moving multiple clips around on a timeline ? Doing this with a mouse just isn't going to work for many, removing simple tasks by way of using a mouse would stop me from upgrading.
Please address this in upcoming updates.
Dave.

BSP ASSIGNMENT ERROR WHEN SELECT A TAB IN TABSTRIP

Hi all,
I have a dump when select one of the four tabs, in which three working fine.
Plese see the below dump and help as soon as possible.
Runtime Errors         MOVE_TO_LIT_NOTALLOWED
Exception              CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE
       Occurred on     09/18/2006 at 20:51:05
What happened?
Error in ABAP application program.
The current ABAP program "CL_BSP_MODEL==================CP " had to be
terminated because one of the
statements could not be executed.
This is probably due to an error in the ABAP program.
Error analysis
An exception occurred. This exception is dealt with in more detail below
. The exception, which is assigned to the class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE',
was neither
caught nor passed along using a RAISING clause, in the procedure
"IF_BSP_MODEL_UTIL~CONVERT_FROM_STRING" "(METHOD)"
Since the caller of the procedure could not have expected this exception
to occur, the running program was terminated.
The reason for the exception is:
You attempted to overwrite the field "<L_FIELD>", although it is a
constant (i.e. a numeric literal or a string literal). This is not
allowed.
The following objects are protected:
- Character or numeric literals
- Constants (CONSTANTS)
- Function module and method parameters with the type IMPORTING

- TABLES parameters, if the actual parameter is protected against
changes
- USING reference paraemters and CHANGING parameters in FORMs if the
actual parameter is protected against changes
- Field symbols, if the field assigned to them using ASSIGN is protected
against changes (for example, key components of a SORTED or HASHED
TABLE)
- External write access to an attribute with the READ-ONLY attribute
I have the below error in webpage.

How do you have a cell highlight momentarily and fade out when selected?

I've noticed that in some apps, when the user selects a table view cell, it will momentarily highlight, but the highlight will immediately fade out (i.e. you can tell that the cell has been highlighted, but the highlight doesn't stay -there is just a checkmark).
When I select a cell, I want the selected cell to stay selected, but have the highlight fade out immediately. I can't see any options to achieve this effect. I've tried using the setHighlight edmethod to set the cell to be unhighlighted in the didSelectRowAtIndexPath method:
- (void)tableView:(UITableView *)tableView didSelectRowAtIndexPath:(NSIndexPath *)indexPath
UITableViewCell* tableViewCell = [tableView cellForRowAtIndexPath:indexPath];
tableViewCell.accessoryType = UITableViewCellAccessoryCheckmark;
[tableViewCell setHighlighted:NO animated:YES];
However, this does not appear to work. I don't know if this is because I've done something wrong with trying to implement this code, or if the approach I'm attempting is not how you're supposed to go about it. If anybody has any ideas I'd be grateful.

The Selected State and the Highlighted State are actually independent. I.e. a cell can be selected but not highlighted and vice versa. This can be confusing because, for a standard cell the appearance of the Highlighted State tracks the Selected State style (except the Highlighted State doesn't change the label text to white). But if you subclass a cell you can make the two states appear quite different.
So the solution is to turn off the Selected State of the cell. This doesn't change which index path is selected. The table view keeps track of that, so turning off the Selected State of the cell only affects its appearance. However, whenever a selected index path is scrolled out of view and then back, the cell that's placed at that index path must be manually reset to it's Non-Selected state before it's displayed. This is because whenever a cell for the selected index path is obtained from tableView:cellForRowAtIndexPath:, the system will set that cell to the Selected State.

Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells

"Rules applied to multiple cells trigger color changes when any of the cells meet the rule’s condition." That's what Help says, but when I follow the directions, it doesn't work. This is in Numbers 08.
I have a table where the contents of one column are either "YES" or "NO", depending on formulas using variables from other cells. If YES, I want the fill of that cell and that of two adjacent cells to change from white to green. I select all three cells and use conditional format rules for "text contains:" YES, then choose my fill color. When I return to the table and introduce values for the variables that trigger the rule, only the cell in the YES/NO column changes to green; the other two remain white.
While I am spreadsheet challenged, I usually can follow directions as plain as those in Help, but it's not working. I couldn't find anything in the discussions after an hour of searching. Is this a known problem or am I just stupid?

For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
Here's a workaround for your three adjacent columns. Long, but fairly simple steps.
Add a second table to the sheet (Table 2).
Resize the second table to one column wide and as many rows as you want to apply the conditional format to.
Set the width of the column to the same width as the three columns you want to highlight, and the row height(s) to match the rows.
Format to table to have NO Header or Footer row or column.
Use the Wrap Inspector to uncheck "Object causes wrap"
In the first top cell of Table 2, enter an = sign, then Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, Click on the first cell that will hold YES or NO.
Fill the formula down the rest of Table 2.
With all cells in Table 2 selected, use the Cell Format inspector to set the 'text contains yes' rule and the conditional fill colour for these cells.
Test the conditional formating by introducing values into Table 1.
Click on Table 1 in the sidebar, then use the Table inspector to set Cell Fill to 'none'.
Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then drag that table onto table 1 aligning it to cover the cells in which the conditional formating is to appear.
When positioned (and still selected), go to the Arrange menu and Send Backward to move Table 2 behind the (transparent) cells in Table 1.
With Table 2 still selected, click on the Cell Borders color well and set the Opacity of the borders to 0%.
Click the Text inspector and set the Text colour Opacity for Table 2 to 0%.

Barry

Spreadsheet output from reports posting to multiple cells instead of one

Hi all, using Report Builder 10.1.2.2.0
ORACLE Server Release 10.1.0.5.0.
I have a report that creates its output as an excel file using desformat=spreadsheet. The problem I am having is with fields that contain a large amount of text with formatting characters in them. In particular, carriage returns. When this data is created in excel, it treats the carriage return as a new cell, so instead of putting all the data for that column into one cell, it creates a number of cells and merges them all together.
Is there anyway to get around this? I know excel can support line breaks within a cell, is it a limitation of oracle reports to be unable to duplicate this output?

For what it's worth, that's the way I read that line in the User Guide as well. What it actually appears to mean, though is 'Rules applied to multiple cells apply independently to each of the cells."
