Problem with the use of MID/LEFT functions

I have a problem, see the point of these functions if (as seems to be the case) they will not allow another cell to be referenced.

I want to do a SUMIFS with match being the first four characters of another cell data. I can't find any way to do it without manually copying the first four characters in another cell.

If I use only LEFT like this:

LEFT ('ABCD', 3) to derive 'ABC '.

so why would just enter ABC in the first place? But that's what show examples and any attempt to do what I really want

that is LEFT (F19: 3)

causes a syntax error.

I believe that I'm missing something really stupid, but I'm darn if I can see it.

Hi jon,

LEFT (F19: 3)

causes a syntax error.

Try a comma in place of the colon

= LEFT(B2,3)

It's your area used for the decimal point. If you use the comma for decimals, use a semicolon in the formula, = LEFT(B2;3)

Kind regards

Ian.

  • Problems with the "use tiny file names...". "checkbox in the settings of WebHelp box

    Given that the RH 9 is only able to run on Windows, the checkbox "Use tiny file names..." ' (see image below) can cause some unexpected problems when generating output for a unix (or linux) platform. I found this recently when generating output of web for a project that is visualized on a linux platform machine and met hundreds of broken links unexpected help.

    WebHelp Settings - User LowerCase for Unix.jpg

    If this is the first time you generate your project output, this function works very well - it converts all topics, image files and all what it takes to display help, lower case. However, if for some reason, you had generated previous outputs without this box, and now you have decided that you want all your files output in lower case, just check this box and regenerating the output will not work.

    The reason is simple - the Windows operating system does not distinguish between upper and lower case in file names (e.g., fichier.htm name is the same as the FILE name.) (HTM). UNIX (and linux) are case-sensitive and treat these files are two separate files. Therefore, HR fact not (cannot) change existing file in your folder names with this checked out and gives no message indicating such when generating the output. In this case, the only way to solve this problem is to delete the folder containing your output files and have HR to regenerate your project from scratch.

    I had an additional problem which has made things even worse. In a project for a linux platform, I have unchecked the box during the creation of project by accident (perhaps over a period of days or weeks). Then, due to another problem, I had to restore my project at an earlier stage. At this point, I discovered that my necessary help links of the files using lowercase and uppercase the filenames for all work very well.

    I've seen no mention of this in the HR documentation, so I thought that I must draw the attention of the HR community.

    Yes - just to clarify, I'm taking everything I publish on.

    Reminder - just those who publish in a Unix/Linux warning environment if you need to change the case of file names in your folder you post on and you already have stuff in there with the same name, you will need to delete the files first before you republish.

  • Satellite P200 - problem with the use of disk HARD original as external drive

    I've been pulling on my hair for a month now and could do with help

    I have a Satellite P200 series PC laptop and have recently updated from the 200 GB for a pair or 320 GB HARD drive. No problem

    The question I have is that the old drive of 200 GB system I am unable to use it in any other machine or according to and external storage device.
    The original secondary disc works fine few matter where I use it... (In my PS3 at the moment)

    When I install the orgional system drive in my laptop and rebuild windows it it still works 100%.
    Hance a good work of 200 GB of HARD drive.
    Take it out and serve in another machine of storage that it won't - boot all I get is cyclic redundancy errors

    I formatted, low level run endless disk tools
    WD test came back with diagnostics Test::Read 11 - cable sector error!

    Even as a drive on the original laptop is the same

    All ideas taken with gratitude that I don't want to lose a good 200 GB HARD drive

    Thank you very much
    Roger

    Hello!

    The external box is maybe defective, because you said that the HARD drive works in your laptop and the PS3 without problem.
    You can test the HARD drive in another external case?

    WD test unknown to me but I always use the Drive Fitness Test:
    http://www.HitachiGST.com/HDD/support/download.htm#DFT
    With the Drive Fitness Test, you can test your HARD drive. Download the CD image, burn it to a CD and boot from it. You can then the HARD drive.
    On the same site is a user's guide if you want to know more.

  • Problems with the use of variables at the time of the SV - Loudness.vi

    Hello

    I'm rather new to Labview and will have questions, get my Time-Varying Loudness calcuations out correctly. Attached is my current VI and a .csv file of my data set (calibrated in PA. sampling frequency = 50 kHz for 5 seconds). It does not produce what I expected when I run the VI. Here are my questions:

    Time-Varying Loudness:

    (1) what are the signals so much? There are hundreds of lines, but I only expect one.

    (2) why my category axis are not a range from 1 to 24 years as bark should be?

    1/3 octave Band Analsysis:

    (1) why is it incorrect? Them should not be a linear increase the frequency...

    Data on the one hand be hurry and make a squeek. It is a transient noise that happens about 2 seconds. But, how could I go do a waterfall (Time (s), Frequency (Hz), Amplidtude (sones)) of this signal? Is there an easy way? or do I have to do all three signals and add to make a parcel?

    Thank you very much for your help! Let me know if you need more infromation,

    -Troy

    p.s. I have included a picture of the results as well.

    Hi Troy,

    (1) the SV specific volume VI 'chunks' given in blocks of 2 ms and returns then these as individual plots specific Loudness vs. Sone.  The colored lines that you see in your chart are representative of the 2 500 2 periods of time ms in your acquisition of five seconds.  Each of these plots contains 241 points, however they are ten sample "gradually", one for each sone.  The digital filter buffer takes a bit to fill and kick in properly, however, so you can give your first rows (0-. 02 seconds or more) scrutiny before using them - you can see a number of unexpected zeros around the lower sones.

    2) since you use a chart, the x-axis will be increments every race following (the previous data is stored.)  If you only want to display the most recent data, I would recommend switching to a chart, which is found in the chart controls palette.  Also, see above (#1) why the x axis are longer than 24 points.

    (3) remember that dB is a unitless measure and cannot be used in reference to another value. A typical reference for sound is 20 uPa, but you will probably need even out your data entry and determine/set dB reference.  You can take a look at the voltage from the snout to the Cloaca EU.vi scale (EU means equalized units) and from the snout to the Cloaca Set dB reference.vi.  In your case, I think the plot of Octave shows your dB from a default value of 1.  The values should be accurate with respect to the other, but you must provide a reference value to calibrate the scale.

    (4) I think that this VI is a good example how to do to create a cascade:

    Display cascading for Octave (DAQmx)

    http://zone.NI.com/DevZone/CDA/EPD/p/ID/5562

    You will need to break up of your waveform into pieces, just like the specific volume VI, but the basic concept is roughly the same (take piece of waveform, take octave measure of the piece, add octave output measure cluster to cluster table, repeat for the rest of the waveform display)

    Phew!  It was a bit of information.  Let me know if this makes sense and don't be intimidated by the detail and/or unknown functions or methods - you're definitely on the right track, or to ask it to at least the right questions.

  • [CS3] [javascript] Problem with the use of textWrapOffset in textWrapPreferences

    Hello world

    Alert (mySelection.textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset);
    mySelection.textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset [0] = 20;
    Alert (mySelection.textWrapPreferences.textWrapOffset);

    In the code above, the first la premiere alerte alert outputs four film text offsets existing (for example [3, 0, 0, 0]). But after trying to change the top of the textWrapOffset page in the second line of code, the last alert still exits the film ancient text offset and does not show the change. It's as if the textWrapOffset is read-only. Or is there something I'm missing?

    Note that before you run the script, the object selected in InDesign is a simple "Rectangle".

    I hope someone can help!

  • Problem with the use of disabled form elements

    I have a simple form with a file input element and a "submit" button.
    When I hit submit I want to disable the input file so I call a javascript function on the "onClick event" to do.

    The problem is when the javascript disables the file entry, then subsequently Coldfusion cannot use the value of the input file to download the file that he don't think that there is...

    Does anyone know a simple way around this?
    Merci )

    It was a requirement of the user to disable form elements, even if a file has been downloaded.
    I disabled the Send button by using a hidden field as suggested. That should be enough, because even if a user searches for a file to download, they can not cocoralie the form.
    Thanks for your help...

  • Problem with the use of the ADF libraries

    JHeadstart version: version 11.1.1.5.27

    JDeveloper version: Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.7.0

    Scenario of

    I'm trying to build an application using ADF libraries like below:

    Common code - extension of framework classes

    CommonUI - LOV hides, etc...

    Common model - ADFBC all entity objects

    Several subsystems (view controller 'helper' projects)

    Main view controller project

    I have created libraries according to the guide of FMW and have imported correctly into the relevant model projects and view controller.  In JDeveloper, I can see the libraries OK and able to build my screens without any problem using JHeadstart.  All of the subsystems are managed independently, i.e. I used JAG to create my application and can run the autonomous subsystems.  The problem comes from the main view controller project.  I have imported successfully all libraries in the project of main view controller and you can see all the controls data from libraries in the navigation Application in JDeveloper.  According to the JHeadstart user guide, I imported the NLS library by beams and have modified the JHeadstartApplicationDefinition.xml file to include my libraries (all names and paths are 100% correct).  Now when I run the JAG, it removes all the ServiceDefinitionRef I added to my library.  When I run the application crashes and JDeveloper reports the following error:

    "oracle.jbo.JboException: Houston-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.ConfigException, msg = Houston-33005: Configuration DgmUC003ServiceLocal cannot be found."

    "Caused by: oracle.jbo.ConfigException: ADFContext Houston-29114 is not configured to process this exception messages." Use the code of exception stack trace and error to investigate the root cause of this exception. Root cause error code is Houston-33005. Error messages settings are {0 = DgmUC003ServiceLocal} ".

    DgmUC003ServiceLocal is one of my libraries.

    Can anyone help.

    I tried many things to fix this, but cannot find an answer.

    Interestingly, I once managed to recognize a library (I removed all but one subsystem libraries) and it worked.  When you use the JAG, it not to overwrite my amendment to the JHeadstartApplicationDefinition.xml of the file but when I added a library more he still replaced my amendment and gave the above error for the new library.

    It was the JHeadstartApplicationDefinition.xml file before execution of JAG:

    < ServiceDefinitionRef location = "MasterServiceServiceDefinition.xml" name = "MasterService" / > "

    "< Any ServiceDefinitionRef ="true"name ="UC003Service"location ="... /... /.. /DgmUC003/UC003View/properties/DgmUC003ServiceServiceDefinition.xml"/ >

    "< Any ServiceDefinitionRef ="true"name ="sdService"location ="... /... /.. /SD/sdView/properties/sdServiceServiceDefinition.xml"/ >

    That's what it was after completing JAG:

    < ServiceDefinitionRef location = "MasterServiceServiceDefinition.xml" name = "MasterService" / > "

    "< Any ServiceDefinitionRef ="true"name ="UC003Service"location ="... /... /.. /DgmUC003/UC003View/properties/DgmUC003ServiceServiceDefinition.xml"/ >

    He removed the 2nd entry of library?, wouldn't not and gives the following error:

    "oracle.jbo.JboException: Houston-29000: Unexpected exception caught: oracle.jbo.ConfigException, msg = Houston-33005: Configuration sdServiceLocal cannot be found."

    It's very frustrating, I followed all the instructions to the letter.  I would not expect a very simple thing like that does not work.  Any help, greatly appreciated pointers.

    Thank you Trevor.

    Hi Paul,.

    My apologies for not updating this thread earlier.

    The good news is that it has been resolved, the issue seems to be with JDeveloper and not JHeadstart (or maybe just a combination of the two).  That's what I do:

    1. Edit the file JHeadstartApplicationDefinition.xml
    2. Reconstruction/compile the project (in JDeveloper which is Alt - F9)
    3. Do a "save everything" (belt and suspenders, probably not necessary as reconstruction not save)
    4. Output JDeveloper (close, file-> exit)
    5. Restart JDeveloper
    6. Run the JAG (the new library names entered in step 1 are NOT replaced)

    This workflow has worked 100% flawless, I don't know what closure JDeveloper is but it works.

    I also now always close JDeveloper after importation of new libraries in my main view controller project because I think it's also a question, perhaps all related.

    I hope it works for you.

    You put AIR3.2 on Flash Builder? This process is much easier.

    Download the AIR SDK 3.2 here.

    Close Flash Builder.

    Take the zip file and bring it back to the default location of the Flash Builder 4.6 (adjust accordingly):

    C:\Program Files (x 86) \Adobe\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6\sdks\4.6.0

    After placing the in this .zip file, double-click it in windows Explorer, so open windows Explorer. There is now a button extract. Hit that and let it extract right where it is. Leave it to overwrite all the files and folder that he asks me. You are now updated to the last 3.2 AIR in Flash Builder.

    If you receive these errors in Flash, then use the same zip you just downloaded and follow the instructions that are to an earlier version, but the process is the same. Then you will get 3.2 AIR in Flash Builder and Flash.

  • unexpected problem with the permission of type plsql function scheme

    Hello
    I created a schema authorization function plsql type returning a Boolean. Authorization scheme is for pages only. p2_user_priviledge is a textbox control on the home page that retrieves privilege (list of the pagenos) to the user of the database connection. Homepage has no required permissions. SCHEMA AUTHORIZATION always returns false. I am not able to trace problem in my code. same code works fine for failure to the 'c' of return area.

    -CODE OF AUTHORIZATION SCHEME-
    declare
    PageID varchar2 (10);
    VARCHAR2 (300) of privilege;
    c number (3);
    Start
    PageID: = ": P" | to_char(:app_page_id) |': '; -NUMPAGE stored in format *: P2: *
    privilege: = trim(:p2_user_priviledge); ++-List contain privileges like: P2:P13:P67:P23: etc +++ select instr (privilege, pageid) in c to double;
    If c > 0 then
    Returns true;
    on the other
    Returns false;
    end if;
    end;

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

    Another problem is again related to the authorization scheme.
    I created an application and schema of an authorization (auth_aug), which worked fine. Then, after a few days, I added more than 10 pages for the same application, but now autho_aug always returned false for new pages. Then I copied the code from the "autho_aug" to the new "autho_sept" regime, and it worked for new pages. I do not understand if code is the same for both system, why had to use two different schemas.
    Now, I've added a few pages more enforcement and problem mentioned earlier.

    any solution to the two problems...

    Hello

    You can create a component of demand through the shared components in your application, elements of Application option. All you do here is to create a new item and give it a name.

    Once this is done, the element can be used as if it were a page element. You can use an Application (also available through shared components) calculation to set the value of this element in the list of page numbers and the value can then be retrieved in a SQL statement or PL/SQL.

    You cannot use the popup window Session to change elements from page or application - you will need to create a calculation or process to do.

  • Qosmio G40 - problem with the use of 100% of the CPU

    In recent weeks I have problem like describbed here: http://forums.computers.toshiba-europe.com/forums/thread.jspa?messageID=126670𞻎

    Almost the same thing - my computer starts and works ok, but from time to time is frozen by Symantec Service Framwork and all other descriptions are the same.

    "After having been inactive during these seconds, the cooling fan will start to operate at maximum power, creating a huge noise, that I never experienced before, not even while the CPU was operating at 100% for a while due to other programs." Force a reboot is all what I can do. »

    Almost all accidents that this question was by NIS2008, but also Vista explorer.exe and fingerprinttray service or the service of the Index process.

    I received a notice from the team of NIS that I get to use the new NIS09, and for sure that my machine is damaged - check it out here http://community.norton.com/norton/board/message?board.id=nis_feedback&message.id=6964&quer y.id = 22439 #M6964

    I called the Service, which has changed the ATV and CPU - I changed to NIS09 after, a few weeks was good, but now the problem back - in the last two weeks twice. (I observe that starts about 5 minutes after download of updates to NIS (I know cos NIS 09 indicator of that time).)

    One change - Vista is able to kill that process damaged (Admins have no right to do), starts the process of WeAreFault, which sends information on crash for MS - after about 15 min computer starts to work properly without reboot... so I think that a problem is somwhere on the line between Toshiba and Norton, cos repair also change in behaviour of the machine - is now using work not CPU around 20% - before was 50 to 70% and 100% of crash. Norton is also, but must for this.

    Does anyone have a conclusion?

    Generally, I don't like Norton because he needs as many resources and make the laptop lazy. On the net, you can find very good alternative applications.
    Have you tested how the laptop works after removing the NIS?

Maybe you are looking for
