How to display '-1' with a table not formatted (Excel spreadsheet) in InDesign

Hello!

If you place a table not formatted (Excel spreadsheet) in the cells of InDesign with '-1' are not displayed :-(

The Adobe solution is to use the tables formatted, but that is no option for us, because if the numbers in the excel worksheet updated, InDesign loses real formatting and rebuilt the Excel formatting :/

The problem is understandable for Adobe, but we didn't have the suspicion to ask in the forum for a solution.

I think the problem is the operating system and independent version of InDesign - we everywhere (Windows 7,8,10) and Mac OS X, CS6 CC problem - there is a bug/feature in constand.

Does anyone have a solution or a solution to our problem? :-)

Thank you in advance!

In Excel, you must precede the - 1 with an apostrophe (so '-1). As you probably know, this is unnecessary with other negative numbers... If I remember correctly.

It is not sufficient for formatting just these cells as text in Excel, the apostrophe is necessary.

  • How can I change the options to import to an Excel spreadsheet in InDesign CS5.5?

    Hello

    I have a problem with a script InDesign that works this way in ID CS4 and CS5 ID, but stops working in ID CS5.5.

    What the script must do, is to change the preferences to import to a table saved in an Excel file so that I can place a table not formatted in a new textFrame in my InDesign document. The Excel document is a .xlsx file.

    function setExcelImportPrefs() {
        with (app.excelImportPreferences) {
             app.excelImportPreferences.tableFormatting = TableFormattingOptions.excelUnformattedTable;
            }
    }
    

    What the script (or at least seems to do) is: nothing. The table that is placed in the textFrame by the script is always formatted, as seems to be the standard InDesign CS5.5 preference to import tables from excel files.

    Does anyone have a hint for me how to make the script work in ID CS5.5?

    As it works on my machine (!), a reason may be that just the spelling should be: TableFormattingOptions.EXCEL_UNFORMATTED_TABLE

    I would be really happy if you guys could help me.

    Thank you very much!

    Here is the printscreen of my E-R model and my oracle sql code:

    If you don't understand anything, despite my bad English or anythning else, feel free to ask. I would be really happy if we could solve this problem!

    As far as I know, bill and section have no impact on this problem.  As Frank said, this looks like a Top - N type problem.  You is a way to get answer:

    dev1 > select gains, num_students, lesson_name, course_name

    2 from (select course_name, lesson_name, num_students, gains,

    3 dense_rank() ON rn (salary desc order)

    4 of (select c.name course_name, l.lesson_name,)

    5 count (vr.id) num_students,

    6 sum recipes (p.price)

    7 of course c

    8 Join Conference l

    9 l.fk_course = c.id

    Join the 10 visit vg

    11 on l.id = vg.fk_lecture

    join 12 visitor RV

    13 on vg.fk_visitor = vr.id

    price of 14 p join

    15 p.fk_course = c.id

    Group 16 by c.name, l.lesson_name))

    where the 17 rn = 1;

    LESSON_NAME NUM_STUDENTS PROFIT COURSE_NAME

    ------------------ --------------------- ------------ ----------

    C++, programming 3 750 programming

    Java programming programming 3 750

    If you really don't want that one line returned with a tie, then you replace dense_rank, row_number or do something like:

    Select course_name, lesson_name, num_students, recipes

    from (select c.name course_name, l.lesson_name,)

    Count (VR.ID) num_students,

    Sum revenue (p.Price)

    of course c

    join the l Conference

    on l.fk_course = c.id

    Join visit vg

    on vg.fk_lecture = l.id

    Join the vr visitor

    On vg.fk_visitor = vr.id

    Join the price p

    on p.fk_course = c.id

    C.name group, l.lesson_name

    order by 4 desc)

    where rownum = 1;

    This structure returns a single line in the case of links, but there is no way to predict which of the related rows will be returned.

    Oh dear.  It turned into a terrible mess of a thread with opinions and advice.    You do your layout with Word.  In my experience, Word is a nightmare when it comes to positioning many areas of text and images.

    You shouldn't have changed the Word document in a JPG file, because the text all which perfectly progressive, which would be printed to "all" size without loss of image quality, then became an image file.  But if you "had" to make it a JPG, just about the worst possible way to do this is with the Snipping Tool, because the resulting image would have only the resolution of your computer screen.  Dows following?

    How big are the pictures you used in Word?  They probably didn't need to be very large, because each image is only an impression at a relatively small size.

    First thing to try is to open the Word Document and save in PDF format using the Standard option (after you select Save as PDF

    It will keep the text in the form of scalable vector objects which allows printing at any size.  However, I don't have the knowledge of how Word uses images.  I just did a little test, and while I could zoom in to see in the text, I'm not sure that the same is true of the images.  Depends on word refers to the image of the player, or he brings as an object of frame size, and I suspect it's the latter.  You need to do some research on it, because it might make you save a lot of time.

    You have Publisher?  Editor certainly reference the drive images, and friezer downsize to fit the page.  I suspect that you can import a Word into Publisher document, which would put you best part of the way with it.  I would like to test it, but I use it as a loyal user of Adobe InDesign.   If you are forced to restart, then editor or InDesign would be lot better, but it's doable with Photohop.  Just make sure that you start with enough pixels, which means 36 inches at 300 dpi or 10 000 square pixels.  When did save as PDF using the preset high quality printing, and ask your color printer (probably just use sRGB)

    Good luck

  • How can I generate a data merge that includes a barcode in excel spreadsheet for InDesign?

    Can you please indicate whether the following process is possible in InDesign CS 5.5? (Mac OS 10.8.2).

    We need to create a data merge that includes a barcode. The fusion of data concerns several thousand records.

    We have a customer supplied Excel spreadsheet that contains seven fields, which is a number which ultimately must print a barcode when we do the data to merge in InDesign.

    As you expected, the classic six data fields merge perfectly - but we can't find a way to make the code barcode printed properly within the data merge.

    We looked at several possible solutions without success.

    Some of the solutions suggest a plug-in for Excel convert the number to a code bar while still in the spreadsheet - but this does not come across properly when import us the CSV file in the InDesign data merge.

    We studied some third party software applications, but neither gives the complete solution that we need. Some, for example, seem to create the bar code in the Excel worksheet but do not produce the barcode correctly when us data merge in InDesign; and some we will create a unique bar code in InDesign, but have no automated way to recover thousands of numbers in Excel and turn them into bar codes.

    We have you met also possible solutions "police" but have had no success with these either.

    Previous employment, only to produce us entrusted to a specialist mailing company, who assured us that they have produced all the work (very quickly) in InDesign. They, understandably, don't tell us how they did it. But, given the speed with which they have produced work for us, we imagine - with the correct software - the whole process is easy to do.

    Can you please specify?

    Hello

    Muse is a design software. You can design websites in Muse and host on any server of your choice. It has no native function in Muse to convert a spreadsheet into a Web site. If you are good with coding, you can develop outside the Muse and call it in Muse site using iframes, if at all, it is useful to you.

  • How to display wav on a table or chart, if the user enters frequency, amplitude, shape, offset

    Hello

    I have a program (an example of program) where the user can enter the frequency, amplitude, shape as well as the compensation of a wave. How to take these properties and in the wiring diagram to display the waveform on the front panel (in a table or a graph)?

    Frequency, amplitude and offset is a double. Waveform in the wave function of type.

    code attached.

    Please answer. Thank you.

    To see the actual waveform, you obviously have another instrument connected to the output of the Agilent. If you want something simulated as closely as possible, you can wire the wave to a case statement function and set a function of generation of waveform appropriate inside each case.

    Edit - you also posted to the wrong Board. In the future, don't forget to post on the instrument (approximately Agilent) control or Council of LabVIEW (regarding the functions of generation of waveform).

  • Update a table in a loop with a table, not a single value

    Hey everybody,

    I'm new to the Forum, but I do LabVIEW for almost a year now.  I work to make my code much more simple, but I encountered a problem that I can't seem to overcome.

    Say I want to graph a numeric control.  I'm updating the digital control to 5 and 5 graphic updates.  Whenever my loop is executed, the 5 is reloti.  Easy to see that the updates fast loop, my FP will have too much processing time.  How to pass control to an array and only draw table each, for example, 10 iterations of the While loop?  I thought using the 'i' in the While loop and a structure case (use is equal to? 10 as the true to update case).  That doesn't really seem to be the answer... Any help is appreciated.

    Hi, Mr. Bass,.

    Thank you for your post and welcome to the forums of NOR.

    If you want to update every 10 iterations, for example, you can use "Quotient and remainder" LabVIEW function found in the palette of the digital - divide the number of iteration by 10 and check the rest, if it is equal to zero then you're on the 10th, 20th, 30th, etc the iteration. You can then use a case structure and write your chart in the case of true, with the condition is true, if the remainder is zero.

    Let me know how you go with this method.

    Thank you

  • How To Display Status Message / interactive and not blocking alert()

    Hello

    I have a script that loads a file with 2000 product numbers and found on the pages in my catalog of these products appear.

    The problem is it takes forever to run, and I would like to have some feedback on the location of the script to.

    I would like the script to display the number of products on which she is working.

    Alert() is not an option, because by clicking on 'OK' 2000 times is too.

    I tried Googling and searching forums for non alert(), but came out empty-handed.

    Is there a way to display text in a non-interactive way, non-blocking; a bit like the status bar in browsers?

  • How to improve integration with to and not

    There is a previous process that fills data doc_t.id. Lines normally about 10,000. Subsequently the main process is running:
    insert into doc_t
    (SELECT DISTINCT no2, NULL, NULL, NULL 
    FROM document_t
    WHERE  no1 IN (SELECT id FROM doc_t) 
    AND    no2 NOT IN (SELECT id FROM doc_t) 
    AND    msg IN (33, 2) 
    AND    doc_time <= '31.12.2009')
    ; 
    Post-processing transfers the data of doc_t and finally truncates. doc_t Table document_t contains lines of 300Mio.

    All the work runs fine most of the time. But if him preprocess inserts 10000 s of lines in doc_t, the work goes on for hours.

    How can we improve the insertion / design? Some options: we think:
    -document_t of partition and run processes parallel (permit required)
    -transfer doc_t into a temporary table
    -calculate the statistics on the table for doc_t before insertion

    What other options should be considered? Is there a way to avoid these / not in constructions (= redesign)?

    This should be faster, check yourself.

    insert into doc_t
    (SELECT DISTINCT no2, NULL, NULL, NULL
    FROM document_t a inner join doc_t b on (a.no1 = b.id)
    WHERE  no2 NOT IN (SELECT id FROM doc_t)
    AND    msg IN (33, 2)
    AND    doc_time <= '31.12.2009')
    ;
    
    create index doct_id_index on doc_t(id);
    dbms_stats.gather_index_stats(user,'DOCT_ID_INDEX');
    

    It is important that you gather statistics during the doc_t table is in a typical/filled State.
