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?

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.

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.

Can't uninstall XCelsius 2008 SP1, in order to install SP3.

Hello,
I'm attempting to uninstall XCelsius 2008 SP1 (FP3), in order to install SP3, as per the instructions. However I am running into the same error message that is found in this thread: [SP3 Wont install because I can't get current version off|SP3 Wont install because I can't get current version off].
I am receiving the same error code u201Ccanu2019t find Xcelsius.msiu201D and then u201CError 1706.u201D
I attempted to follow the instructions to edit the registry, but could not find the string "MediaPackage" anywhere, so I don't know what my next step should be. Can anyone help me out with this? Thanks!!

Hi,
I had a similar problem and had no luck resolving it until I tried the MS installer fix utility.

Mountain Lion upgrade download stopped, now it states in purchased apps that 'an error has occured' and resume button is blank & will not work. Tried to re download, but it states code has already been used

Danielle...
From the App Store menu bar top of your screen click Store > Check for Unfinished Downloads
If that doesn't help, disable anti virus software and turn off the Firewall in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
Keep in mind, for downloading Mountain Lion from the App Store, a high speed (broadband) internet connection is strongly recommended by Apple as noted here > iTUNES STORE - MAC APP STORE - TERMS AND CONDITIONS
If you need to reinstall OS X or repair the the startup disk using Mountain Lion Recovery, that requires broadband (high speed internet) access to the internet via Wi-Fi or an Ethernet connection. OS X is downloaded over the internet form Apple when OS X Recovery is used for reinstallation.

Ignore blank cells and truly blank cells in named range?

Ok so my named range looks like this:
='Product Group Attributes'!$F$2:$F$1048576
However, I want to ignore the "" cells and the truly blank cells... However, I think all of them will have "" since I have this formula in all of the ones I'm putting in the range:
=IF(ISBLANK(C2),"",CONCATENATE(B2," - ",C2))
How do I go about getting these results into a named range so I can use it on validation since validation only seems to ignore truly blank cells and not the "" ones.

Actually, the "" cells means truly blank cells.
But the "Ignore blanks" in data validation does not mean it will remove blanks from the list. It basically means that a Blank will be allowed as a valid entry in the cell.
If you want to get rid of blank cells in the list, you have to create another list that does not include the blanks.
Use the VBA code below to copy data in column F to column G, meanwhile it will remove the blank cells.
Sub test()
Dim arr, i&
arr = Range("F2:F" & Range("F1048576").End(xlUp).Row)
For i = 1 To UBound(arr)
If arr(i, 1) <> "" Then s = s + 1: arr(s, 1) = arr(i, 1)
Next i
Columns(7).NumberFormatLocal = "@"
Range("G2").Resize(s, 1) = arr
End Sub

Using Encrypted Web Service connections within Xcelsius 2008 SP1 - FP3

Hi all,
I'm running the latest version of Xcelsius Server 2008 and have setup a simplistic dashboard that uses 4 web service connections to dynamically call queries within a SQL Server 2008 database. The dashboard has been exported to html and I can serve this to the WWW.
I have since created a new https website (using a self signed certificate) and can now serve my Xcelsius dashboard via https. My problem is that I have had to run my old website in parallel (as it serves the said non-encrypted web service) which is linked within the swf source (that is running on the new https enabled website).
Upon trying to alter my existing xlf file so that it references the encrypted web service URL (which works fine via the browser) it prompts me to accept the self signed certificate. Once I click yes, and then add the certificate to the certificate store the whole thing locks up and I am forced to close Xcelsius.
Am I right in thinking that Xcelsius will not accept self signed certificates or encrypted web services at all? For me this is big security concern because if I want to share my dashboard via the WWW I have to accept the fact that I need to run an unsecure web service.
Is this something that is only supported in Xcelsius Enterprise?
TIA

Hello Paul,
Sorry not to have replied to this sooner.
We have had experience of hosting Xcelsius Dashboards using Https: for one of our clients here at Flynet.
We noticed a number of issues , we did have problems relating to the Firewall on our Gateway server for example. We also had issues with the number of active connections processed when the dashboard is running. I think the default for Https: is 2 , so the connections can be queued up. Have you retried with one connection open. The Dashboard we did however did have up to 12 connections, so Xcelsius can handle multiple connections.
When developing the Dashboards using Xcelsius I did have to import using the Web Service URL of the remote server which was Https: However due to issues sometimes with our Gateway Firewall and the way our Local Network had to access the https: URL , what I tended to do was develop using a localhost Web service and then switch the URL to use the https: Web Service once the dashboard was exported to the server it was to be hosted on.
What we did notice for example is that we could have a dashboard running locally quite happily using the https: web services which are actually on [http://www.flynetviewer.com] then we would start getting #2 type flash errors. To solve this we had to restart our Windows Firewall on our gateway server. We could run the dashboard fine if run from our web site.
I am not sure if the issues you have are related to this. I have had problems when I had to import the https: web service URL on my local machine , I am prompted for the Username password for the Https: location , but when trying to import Xcelsius has a problem and exits. Due to these problems I tended to use a local Web service when developing. I know this isn't always practical.
I was running on Vista 64 bit , but I also have XP and Server 2003 running on Virtual machines.
I will be happy to share information my experiences with you.
Best Regards,
Ian Learmonth

Updated to add: I have just successfully imported an https: Web service. Mapped it to the dashboard , run it and invoked sucessfully. This was on Windows XP professional SP2.
I did the same thing on Windows Vista 64 bit and had an issue. So not sure what operating system you are using or whether it's a Certificate thing. I can try and find out a bit more on our Certificate if you need to find out what the issue is.
The Vista issue seems to have been resolved by running Xcelsius as Administrator.
When successfully importing I was prompted for the Username and Password for the URL but not the Certificate.

2008 Macbook pro left click not working properly after upgrading to 10.6.8

I have a 2008 Macbook pro and a few months ago after upgrading to 10.6.8 my left click has been wonky.
Using the trackpad the left click eventually gets "stuck" or stops responding and I have to push it multiple times before it does anything. I have tried plugging in a mouse, but when I do so the mouse also behaves the same way. The only way I seem to be able to get the clicking to work properly is to restart the computer with the mouse attached.
I have seen threads about trackpads being messed up by swollen batteries, but my battery is brand new and looks fine, and the clicking problem extends to an external mouse, so I believe it is something with the preferences.
I tried deleting com.apple.driver.AppleBluetoothMultitouchTrackpad.plist and restarting and the problem seemed to be fixed, but then after about a half hour it returned.
Having to keep a mouse plugged into my macbook is driving me crazy, anyone know a solution?

I started having the same issue after update. I'm on a MacBookpro running 10.7.2
ICalled apple and they did a remove battery reboot, a reload lion and a option/command/R/P reboot on startup and then the computer started working. Two days later problem was back. I then did a reboot and the computer was back to working. Today the computer worked fine tell it went to sleep. I had to do a hard reboot to get the Mac up and running and now no left click. Please help. I can not use the Mac with the trackpad, a mouse, a Bluetooth mouse, or a digital pad. All so signs of left mouse click not working. One other item when you go to pick your user at startup the left mouse click works. Help!

Missing a Formula for ignoring blank cells.

I've made a spreadsheet in Numbers 2.3 for keeping track of FIFA standings for a group. Because the scores are empty, the formulas think it’s a 0. This is a problem for the draw column since it thinks that the scores are equal. Is there a function I’m missing here that I can add to my Draw column (E) to ignore the cells if blank? I'm sorry if this is solved, but I've been looking and cannot find anything I can use or understand. Thanks for the help.
A link to the spreadsheet is here.

Thanks.

Hi Tim,
Interesting question!
Here's a possible solution. It requires two auxiliary columns (which may and should be hidden) to be added to Table 1, and a new formula to count the draws in Table 1-1, column D:
Table 1:
Columns F and G are the auxiliary columns. The formulas below are entered into row 2, then filled down to row 6.
F2: ="-"&B2&"-"&E2&"-"&IF(AND(LEN(C)>0,LEN(D)>0),"XXX-","")
This constructs a string consisting of the names of the opposing teams (from columns B and E) plus a code ( XXX ) that indicates scores have been entered for both teams (ie, the game has been played).
G2: =C=D
This returns TRUE if cells in column C and D have identical contents, and FALSE if their contents differ. TRUE indicates a possible draw, FALSE that one or the other team has won.
Table 1-1
The formula below is entered in D2, and filled down to D5:
D2: =COUNTIFS(Table 1 :: $F,"=*"&A2&"*",Table 1 :: $F,"=*XXX*",Table 1 :: $G,TRUE)
Syntax for COUNTIFS is COUNTIFS(test-values,condition,test-values,condition,test-values,condition)
There are two tests on values in column F:
Does it contain the team name for whom we are counting draws?
Does it contain the string "XXX" (Has the game been played?)
There is one test of the values in column G:
Is the value TRUE? (Do both teams have the same score—including both having no score–?)
If all three conditions are TRUE, the row (game) is added to this teams Draw count.
Regards,
Barry

Blank ink not working hp6510

Same problem as others...black ink stopped working...ordered two new cartridges...put them in today...still not working...tried the suggestions...clean print head extra. Please help...this is very frustrating...Thank you. HP 6510

Hello nanybird,
Welcome to the HP Support Forums! I see you are running into some print quality issues on your HP Photosmart 6510, you are unable to print in black ink after replacing the cartridge.
Were you able to complete ALL steps listed here: Printer Does Not Print Black Ink or Color Ink, or Prints Blank Pages, I understand you may have done some of these steps already but I need you to complete all steps in order to resolve the missing black issue you are experiencing.
Please note: There are three printhead cleaning stages. Complete all three stages if necessary. If the printhead is badly clogged, it might require another cleaning cycle. If so, wait 30 minutes after the last (third) cleaning stage to start the first stage of the cleaning process over again.
If you are still unable to print in black ink, I suspect the issue may be the printer and not the cartridge. Please let me know which Country/Region you are in as well as the product Warranty status: HP Warranty Checker
I hope to hear from you soon.
Thanks,

WLS 6.1 SP1 URL Rewriting Still Not Working?

          Anyone having success with URL Rewriting? The SessionServlet example is STILL
          not working for me when cookies are disabled. New sessions are created every
          access and the counter never increments past 1.
          Any info would be appreciated.
          Regards, Jeff


          The SessionServlet example works fine for me. By default URL re-writing is enabled
          and it will come into picture if the browser doesn't accept cookies.
          Try the examplesWebApp which is in 'examples' domain. It has SessionServlet as
          part of it.

SSRS 2008 Gauge ToolTips - expression does not work?

Hi,
I'm attempting to use various SSRS 2008 gauges in a report. When I attempt to use an expression in a tooltip such as '=Sum(Fields!ID.Value)' , the tooltip does not show up.
However if I replace that expression with a static value such as '1' it pops up.
It seems that an expression should work? Any reason that it would not?
Thanks

Hi,
I could reproduce the scenario you posted.
It is caused that string type is required for the
ToolTip property of the Gauge Pointer. So, please change the expression to
=CStr(Sum(Fields!ID.Value)).
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Thanks,
