Where do I find examples of how to use formula functions? Online help only provides syntax

Hello,
I would like to run a formula ( for my custom field in Project 2013) that allows me to see the Finish Time e.g. 17:15 for a task. I am trawling through the online help to determine which one is best but I would like to read some examples
of how a function can be used. I hoped Help may do this but no.
Hope you can point me into the right direction. Thanks in advance.
Alan

Alan,
Yeah I agree, the on-line help is lacking in information on how to actually USE a function. However, there are some places that may help. Here are a couple, I'm sure there are many others.
https://support.office.com/en-nz/article/Project-functions-for-custom-fields-7e525143-380f-4083-8d5a-3ecc6ba44f22
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/ee767700(v=office.14).aspx
Since many of the custom field formulas are also used in VBA, I've found the object library reference for VBA to be very helpful in understanding and setting up custom field formulas. To get the the object library, go to Developer/Code group/Visual Basic.
Once the Visual Basic Editor window opens, hit View/Object Browser. Hit the Help menu and select the Help for Visual Basic. Type in the function of interest.
However, you say you want a custom formula to see the finish time for a task. You don't need any customization to see that. Simply go to File/Options/General tab and select a date format that includes the time.
Hope this helps.

Where I can find documentations on how to use MyComponse API ?

Where I can find documentation on how to use MyComponse API ?
Any example ?

not 100% sure at which point the callout to BEFOREPROCESSCOMPOSE is done, but during the process logs phase, the data in the CVR$ tables is copied into the clg$ tables, and the cvr$ table dml flags cleared
unles the query is very complex/long running why not join the clg$ tables (only have the data that has changed, so smaller than the cvr$ tables, to your base tables for determining if relevant within the MyCompose needCompose method?
an example from one of our MyCompose classes is
public int needCompose(Connection conn, String clientid) throws Throwable{
boolean baseDirty = false;
Statement st = conn.createStatement();
String sql = null;
int rowCount = 0;
int fetchCount = 0;
ResultSet rows;
// log user
// sql = "INSERT INTO qpub_log (TIMESTMP,message) "
// + " values (sysdate, '" + clientid + " assd' )";
// rowCount += st.executeUpdate(sql);
// need to compose if there are any relevant changes to assessment details FOR
// TIR / SOLO assessments
// Inspection history checklists
// PIJ marking sheets
// INSSI
// Risk Assessment)
// also changes to (in case of underlying alterations causing data to be withdrawn)
// STATUS_LOGS
// ROLE_ASSGNTS
if(this.baseTableDirty("CDB_OWNER", "ASSESSMENT_DETAILS")){
return oracle.lite.sync.MyCompose.YES;
if(this.baseTableDirty("CDB_OWNER", "STATUS_LOGS")){
sql = "SELECT count(clg.context_key) "
+ "FROM CDB_OWNER.ROLE_ASSGNTS rola "
+ " ,CDB_OWNER.USER_ACCOUNTS usra "
+ " ,CDB_OWNER.CLG$STATUS_LOGS clg "
+ "WHERE usra.user_name = '" + clientid + "' "
+ "AND rola.rolat_rol_code IN ('INSPECTOR','COVER_INSP','DELEG_INSP') "
+ "AND rola.context_key_by=to_char(usra.par_id) "
+ "AND rola.context_key_for=clg.context_key "
+ "AND clg.staa_seq_no=47 ";
rows = st.executeQuery(sql);
rows.next();
fetchCount = rows.getInt(1);
if (fetchCount != 0) {
sql = "INSERT INTO qpub_log (TIMESTMP,message) "
+ " values (sysdate, '" + clientid + " assd stal" + fetchCount + "' )";
rowCount += st.executeUpdate(sql);
return oracle.lite.sync.MyCompose.YES;

return oracle.lite.sync.MyCompose.YES;
// if no relevant changes do not compose
return oracle.lite.sync.MyCompose.NO;
}

Where do I find information on how to use all the features of iPhoto on the iMac?

I was told that iphoto would be easy to use on IMac but I am not finding that true. Is there a guide to how to use Iphoto? Transferring photos from my external drive to iphoto is not working as I would expect. It imports them to a new "last import" and not to the folder I want. I am frustrated and can't find information that is helpful. help window only gives me connections I'm not looking for. I'm not seeming to ask the right questions. Can't even find the category I'm looking for. Is there a guide somewhere that I don't know about?

There's also this popular book: Amazon.com: iPhoto: The Missing Manual: 2014 release, covers iPhoto 9.5 for Mac and 2.0 for iOS (Missing Manuals) (9781491947319): David Pogue, Lesa Snider: Books

Where I can find examples with OLAP DML to update the cube cells?

Hi,
Where I can find examples with OLAP DML to update/calculate the cube measure/cells?
I would like to insert data into the cube by OLAP DML.
Regards,
TomB

Not sure about examples but this is how you should proceed
1. Limit all your dimension to the leaf level values.
lmt financialperiod to '200901'
lmt geography to 'XYZ'
lmt product to 'LAPTOP'
2. Limit your measure variable to one measure(this is applicable if you have more than one stored measure in the cube).
for 10g
lmt <cube name>prtmeasdim to '<MEASURE NAME>'
for 11g
lmt <cube name>measuredim to '<MEASURE NAME>'
3. Write into the variable.
for 10g
<cube name>prttopvar = 100 -- this variable is created for a compressed & partitioned cube. for uncompressed cube the variable name is <cube name>_stored.
Thanks

Dear Doron
Solution Manager system will never physically participate in the upgrade of a Netweaver Server. It will only help you to find the right files via the maintenance optimizer. Also if you want to develop / use a Project for your upgrade you could use the upgrade roadmap and then use Solution Manager as a Project Management tool for the upgrade.
Besides this there will be no guide available for "upgrading" a system, since the upgrade roadmap is generic and the maintenance optimizer feature is isolated from the roadmap. You will have to follow the upgrade guides available on
http://service.sap.com/instguides.
Hope that this answers your query.

Where can I find example LabVIEW VIs for the NI-USRP?

There are several sources of example LabVIEW VIs for the NI USRP:
We have established a NI Community "NI USRP Example LabVIEW VIs" where you can find example VIs from us (NI) and the community.
The NI-USRP driver installs a variety of example VIs to the to the following folder on your PC:
<LabVIEW Installation path>\examples\instr\niUSRP
where you should replace <LabVIEW Installation path> with the root folder of your local LabVIEW installation. For instance, my Windows 7 32-bit PC here has LabVIEW 2011 installed and the examples can be found here: C:\Program Files\National Instruments\LabVIEW 2011\examples\instr\niUSRP
I've installed the NI-USRP driver, but I can't seem to find the new examples in the LabVIEW Example Finder. Where are the example LabVIEW VIs installed by the NI-USRP driver?
Although the NI-USRP driver does indeed install examples, the current NI-USRP 1.1 release does not update the LabVIEW Example Finder with entries for these examples. To find the examples, you can navigate the Windows Start Menu to the following location:
Start Menu\Programs\National Instruments\NI-USRP\Examples
This Start Menu entry includes several Shortcuts that point to folders that are the home to example VIs.

Hello,
It looks like Agilent/HP makes the 8990A, but I was not able to find a driver for it that we or Agilent has written for this device.
Since I am not familiar with the 8990A, I cannot recommend which drivers might be similar, but you are pointed in the right direction. Agilent themselves might know more about which models use similar command sets so that you can modify a driver easily.
Hope this helps.

Where do I find info on how to print on different size projects?

I'm not sure if I'm posting this on the correct board or not. My question is where do I find instructions on how to print on different size papers such as, envelopes and postcards both addresses and return addresses. I know how to print the body of my postcards since I use Windows Publisher but I'd rather not have to use labels. It would be so much faster and more professional to print the addresses and return addresses directly on the postcards and envelopes. I've owned many HP printers and have always been able to do that but can't seem to set my Deskjet 8500 910A.
Thanks for any help available.

linadads,
I am happy to help you with your issue regarding printing on envelops. The printer software doesn't carry the functionality to create envelope documents. You will use a word processor for completing this such as, Microsoft word. In Microsoft Word (or a like word processor) it will give you the option to create an envelope with the send from and send to address sections.
I hope this helps

Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

Req any examples of how to use a USB midi controller/keyboards with Labview TIA

Hi,
To access the MIDI ports you will need to call the Windows SDK. To send MIDI commands is relatively easy, here is an example that shows you how to send data to a MIDI controller or keyboard.
As far as input goes, this is the hard part. There are a series of functions that you need to call to open up the device, set some buffers and and possibly a callback to get notifications on the incoming data.
Reading MIDI data will not be an easy task, your best bet will be to implement this in a DLL and call that DLL in LabVIEW, there should be some code available o the web.
= "http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/multimed/htm/_win32_multimedia_... is a link to the Windows multimedia functions that you could use for MIDI input.
Let me know if you have any further questions.

Juan Carlos
