Xcelcius--ignore blank fields

Hi Experts,
I'm working on the Xcelcius reportng by using combo box and column chart. Now i want to filter the blank values and to display only the graph where the values are there in the spread sheet.
For ex: i've the data for day 1, day 2 ....day20 and for the months January, Feb,...till dec. for january i've values $10 for day 1, $20 for day 2...till day15 and for day 16 and 17 i don't have any value and there are values again for day 18, 19 and 20. Now i don't want to display the chart for day 16 and 17.
Could you please let me know how to do this. Because by using the ignore blank value we can ignore at the end of the month but not the mid of the month.
Any solution for this?
Please let me know if you people require any further information.
Thank you
Best regards,
Amarnath Reddy

You need to do this for both columns. For days, it will be like
=IF(B1<>"";B1;IF(B2<>"";B2;IF(B3<>"";B3;IF(B4<>"";B4;........))))
If it was only a week, it could be implemented but I don't recommend it for a month.
You may also keep the blank values and use a range slider for the graph.

How do I have Adobe Acrobat 9.0 calculate the minimum of 10 fields BUT ignore empty fields?

How do I have Adobe Acrobat 9.0 calculate the minimum of 10 fields BUT ignore the field if it is empty? Currently it counts blanks as 0 so when it comes up with the minimum it will always show 0 unless all 10 fields have values in them.

You could loop through the fields and add the non-blank values to an array, and use the Math.min method to get the minimum. Here's an example custom Calculate script:
// Custom calculate script
(function () {
    // Array to hold non-blank field values
    var fa = [];
    // Loop through the fields...
    for (var i = 1; i < 11; i += 1) {
        // ...get the current field value, as string...
        var v = getField("text1." + i).valueAsString;
        // ...if not blank, add value to the array, as a number
        if (v) fa.push(+v);
    // Set this field's value to the minimum value in the array, otherwise blank
    event.value = fa.length > 0 ? Math.min.apply(null, fa) : "";
This assumes the fields are named "text1.1", "text1.2", ..."text1.10" and that they're numeric. This type of field naming simplifies the code, so it would be good to use something similar and adjust the getField statement to match.

Xcelsius 2008 SP1 - Ignore Blank cells not working

I have a ticker object that is showing the values from a QaaWs query just fine, but at the end of the list I keep getting the words NULL - NULL - NULL - .... This solution is working in the OEM release of Xcelsius 2008.
The range is set longer than the expected number of rows returned to handle changes in the table its querying.
I have Values selected and the Ignore Blank Cells In Values box is checked, so what am I missing?
Is it time to log an issue within support?
Tom Nather

Hello Tom,
This problem is known and documented. It will be addressed in the next FixPack for Xcelsius 2008.
The problem is caused by binding the QaaWS/WS Output Values field to more rows than are actually returned. The cells that are not filled with actual data are formatted with an "undefined" value, thus they are not ignored by "Ignore End Blanks". This is expressed differently depending on the component.
For now, one workaround is to output the QaaWS/WS values to a range (A1:A10, for instance), then reference the range (=A1) in another (B1:B10, for example). If the selector labels are bound to this 2nd range, they will Ignore End Blanks correctly.

Support package SAPKB46C57 - package info shows blank fields and zero size

Hello everybody,
We have problem with SAP 4.6C and we found that note 1100728 can help us. We found that all corrections are in Support package SAPKB46C57, but we are not able to download it. We tried to check package info and we received blank fields and zero size of support package SAPKB46C57.
Does anybody have same experiences with it?
SAP support is very slow in solving this issue.
Does anybody know how we can implement corrections from note 1100728?
Thank you very much for answer.

Nickname in "View my account" - can you restore the blank field?

Hey, I am using iTunes with my AOL screenname. When I set up my account, I went to check my profile by selecting "Store --> View my account..."
As you know, there is the option to set up a nickname for reviews and stuff. Originally, I did not have a nickname, so the field was blank. I figured I'd try and reserve my AOL screenname as a nickname. My desired one, however, was in use by another user. I cancelled out and the field was still empty. So far so good.
Then I tried with some random nickname just for the sake of it. I entered something that was not in use by another user, and as a result, the nickname field showed that name. That was to be expected.
Now I thought I could always reset the field to blank status, removing my nickname. I am shocked I cannot do this. Whenever I access my account, I am seeing some nickname I did not really want in the first place. And I cannot reset it? I have to say I am very disappointed about this. It just looks wrong.
I can change the nickname to something different but I cannot remove it. Seeing that my AIM screenname is taken, I do not want to use any different nickname at all. I just want to have it reset to how it was when I first loaded my account information: blank field.
Any help? Thanks for reading.

yes.

in the file .DS_Store sitting in the folder in question. there is a file like that in every folder.
I ask this question because my colleague uses folders with manual icon arrangement as a metadata.
wow!
The Apple Store employees I spoke with today did not know if Time Machine tracks this data.
(Interestingly, my colleague's reference system has powered a number of highly influential publications. Perhaps this question could also be filed under the ethnography of data curation?)

Issue with fill in the blank field and back button.

I am working in CP4 AS2. I have create a page of fill in the blank fields to simulate filling in a form. On the next slide, I show the answers by extracting the variables into text boxes. I have a back and a next button and instruct the user to review their answers and if incorrect, to select the back button in order to reenter the data. I have the back button set to jump to the previous slide by number (i've tried previous, last slide, etc...)
The flash movie freezes when I select the back button. I think flash is having trouble going back to the fill in the blank fields from the displayed variables. Any ideas? or work arounds for this. The idea solution would take them back to the page with the data already in the fields so they could correct the errors only and then return to the review page.
Thanks
Scott

Hi there
Is scoring enabled on these? If so, perhaps your quiz settings are preventing backward movement.

Pie chart legend showing digit "1" when we set "ignore blank cells"property

All,
We have pie chart in Xcelsius 2008 that shows the data with legend value and we have also set the ignore blank cells property to ignore the blank value from column. but once we set this property, it displays the digit "1" in the legend when there is no data.
we are expecting that nothing should be displayed in pie chart legend when there is no data for the pie chart.
Thanks,
Sourabh

hi Sourabh,
I could replicate your scenario.
Workaround is to create a duplicate of this chart. Go to properties of this new chart.
Go to Appearance ->
Uncheck
- Legend
- Mouse-over values
- Data Labels
for this chart.
Write a logic in excel using 'IF' to verify if your data is empty.
Use 'Dynamic Visibility' feature to display this chart only when your data is empty.
Display your original chart if your data is not empty.

IDoc output is not showing blank fields before the carriage return

When we produce the Material Master IDoc (MATMAS), we send it to a ascii file, to a file port. That works fine when we execute BD10 to produce the IDoc and the file. But, the 3rd party mapping software wants to see every field, even if blank, in each segment it is fed. So, let's say the E1MARCM segment is 750 chars, when you add up all the field lengths in the structure, but the last 5 fields are blank. SAP does not include those trailing blanks at the end of the segment in the file. It just puts a carriage return. How can we configure it to output the trailing blanks?

Hi Mark Mathison
In IDoc ....if no value is passed in to that field then, the field wonu2019t be populated in Doc....
There is no chance of getting blank field in IDocs...

Error in sql server with a trigger (I want to display a customize message, when the user left a blank field or null) How can I do?

How I display a customize message(with a trigger)when a user left a blank field? I want to the stop the insert statament if the user left the status field in blank. I create a trigger but now I can't enter a row, i used an instead trigger
too but doesn't work. I want to display a customize message when the user left the
status field in blank or null.
I have the following code:
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[BLANKFIELD]
ON [dbo].[Status]
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM inserted WHERE Status IS NULL) =1
PRINT 'Please Fill the Status field is required'
Rollback;
END

I agree with other comments that you should do this with specifying that the column is NOT NULL to prevent it from being NULL and a constraint if you don't want it to be blank (spaces or the empty string - note that the empty string is not the same thing
as NULL).
But for completeness, the reason your trigger does not ever allow you to enter a row is the code
IF (SELECT COUNT(*) FROM inserted WHERE Status IS NULL) =1
PRINT 'Please Fill the Status field is required'
Rollback;
Since you don't have a begin/end block after IF, the only conditionally executed statement is the one immediately following the IF (that is the PRINT). So the Rollback is always executed whether or not the IF is true and so all updates are rejected.
So if you were to do this in a trigger you could do something like the following
CREATE TRIGGER [dbo].[BLANKFIELD]
ON [dbo].[Status]
FOR INSERT
AS
BEGIN
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM inserted WHERE Status IS NULL)
BEGIN
PRINT 'Please Fill the Status field is required';
Rollback;
END
END
(As José noted, there can be more than one row in the inserted pseudo table, so you don't want to test whether the COUNT = 1, instead just whether one or more rows exist where the Status is null. If you want to prevent Status is NULL, or all
spaces, or the empty string, then your IF statement would be
IF EXISTS(SELECT * FROM inserted WHERE ISNULL(Status, '') = '')

Mapping IDOC to CSV file - Missing blank field values in CSV file

Hello:
I am mapping an IDOC to a .csv file, using File Content Conversion. I specify comma as the value for the parameter 'fieldSeparator'. I get a .csv file, but blank field values are missing in the .csv file.
For example, if the .csv file format is <field1>,<field2>,<field3>
and if <field2> is blank, then the .csv file contains
<field1>,<field3>

Hi Bac,
As long as the XML that goes to your File Receiver Channel contains the elements, even if they don't contain values, it should work fine.
For example:
<field1>data</field1>
<field2></field2>
<field3>data2</field3>
I suspect that your XML looks like the following:
<field1>data</field1>
<field3>data2</field3>
If this is the case you can update your map. You shouldn't need to put a space, just make sure the element gets created.
Thanks,
Jesse

How to ignore some fields on Receiver File?

Hi folks,
I have this inbound structure example:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ns0:MT_ObrasAdjud_Out xmlns:ns0="http://pt.edp/r3/obrasadjudicadas">
<codforn>123543</codforn>
<numdoc>000003</numdoc>
<tipodoc>CAO</tipodoc>
<encoding_scheme>UTF-8</encoding_scheme>
<filetype>pdf</filetype>
<filedata>01010101001001</filedata>
</ns0:MT_ObrasAdjud_Out>
Using File Conversion with my Receiver File Adapter I want to convert this xml file to a flat file, but only using the element <b><filedata></b> and ignore the others. However, I also need the others elements to use as variable substitution.
Anybody knows how to do it?
Thanks in Advance,
Ricardo.

Hi Ricardo,
>>>>Using adapter specific attributes I can use the elements of source message to do it?
or course!!! that's the idea and you do it all in message mapping
(very small advanced function as shown in many blogs)
>>>>But using variable substitution, I cant ignore those fields with file conversion?
don't know I stopped working with variable substitution
as soon as I learned about adapter specific attributes
as they are sooo much better
>>>>I can do a map excluding all the others elements for target message, my target message will be one element <filedata>.
that's the main idea

How do I insert a CSV file that has blank fields? (Some fields need to be blank) CS4

Hi, this is the first time I have done a data merge in InDesign. I am trying to insert an address list that often has blank fields in it. The fields are blank since some fields are not relevent to some people (i.e. some of the people don't have cell phones others don't have email addresses) Therefore these people would obviously leave those field blank. The trouble is when I go to do a data merge I am told that the CSV file won't import because some fields are blank. I don't know why InDesign is telling me this, or course some fields are blank they are not relevent to that person. Can someone please tell me how I can get around this problem?

I tried doing another data merge and I can't seem to get the "remove blank lines" feature to work anymore.
Here is an image that has all the fields entered in:
Yet if a field is left blank in the InDesign doc I will get this:
Or if the blank field comes before another field on the same line I will get this:
This seems odd to me since I thought these problems were supposed to go away when I clicked this:
Do you know what might be going wrong? Here is what my data merge place holders look like if it is any help:

How to make OWB ignore a field that is not mapped.

Hi,
We're using OWB 10.1.
I'm just doing a simple load from a flat file to a regular table.
I discovered that the data file is missing an entire field or column of data.
The field is not necessary so I'm continuing the load.
I just remapped the OWB map so it doesn't not pull data from the last field in the data file.
When it created the control file to do the load, the last field that was unmapped in the OWB map was re-designated as 'DECIMAL EXTERNAL'.
Then when the map runs to load the data, I get an error message of
Record 1: Rejected - Error on table "STAGING"."TCMBBX", column "PAID_AMOUNT".
Column not found before end of logical record (use TRAILING NULLCOLS)So it looks like OWB is still trying to include the last field in the load for some reason when I had unmapped the field in OWB.
My question is how can one un-map a field or not map a field in OWB and then have OWB ignore the field when running the load?
This is regarding removing the map line drawn from a field in the data file to a field in the staging table.
Thanks!
