I have an date property for which I have created an document property as StartDate and EndDate, and in SQL query the same will be used to filter. In the Text Area , I am using it as Control Type: INPUT Field as this has two different values for start date and end date (as shown in fig: ), I need to merge this two date property into single Slider Control Type. I tried to use Functions using formula "First(DateProperty)". However I am not successful . Can someone help me on this?
I just found the reason for the issue as well, below are two points. i May be wrong as well:
1) To create an slider calendar, we need to create a function. This function will show the data tables which are of from different connections and In our analysis we have single connection and table for Each components .Due to this we are getting error called Cyclic Dependencies and Function is not working.
2) Next to create a simple table having only date property also causing problem as even this should be an Imported table and not linked to the external databases.

I am currently developing a database to monitor my employees' work. Yet, MS Access is new to me and I encounter a fundamental problem when creating reports.
I wish the system can generate reports based on the values of an input form. Say, I would like to check Peter's work in January, I could simply enter:
Name: Peter
Month: January
Then the Access would be able to generate a corresponding report. But I am not sure how it works. And I am thinking of three possible approaches.
(1) Input form -> Query -> Report
I look up youtube and learn how to build an Access form that passes a parameter value to a query. And then I can click the Create Report button.
(2) Input form -> Report
Not sure it works or not. But I learned a bit VBA which may be helpful in this case.
(3) Export to Excel
Export to Excel might be a good option. I can use various functions and filters to select the information I want.
Sorry that my question is being abstract. Any help is appreciated.
there are many ways you could achieve this.
One way (it may be the most efficient or not depending on your query / data you need to output in the report).
Build the query.
Build a report with its record source based on the query.
Build a form with input controls and a button.
With the button you are going to open the report. In the open statement of the report you are going to specify the controls as filters to some of the fields retrieved by the query.
Example:
Private Sub POrdine_Click()
On Error GoTo Err_POrdine_Click
Dim stDocName As String
Dim stLinkCriteria As String
stDocName = "EmployeeWork"
stLinkCriteria="EmployeeCode=" & Forms![frmNameOfForm]![cboEmployeeCode] & " AND WorkMonth=" & Forms![frmNameOfForm]![cboWorkMonth]
DoCmd.OpenReport stDocName, , , stLinkCriteria
Exit_POrdine_Click:
Exit Sub
Am assuming the two comboboxes are going to pass a numerical value, the employee code (which would be a primary key) and the value of the month. Build the queries that feed these controls so that you may see the employee name and the month name. If in doubt just ask.
Notice how this approach may not work well for reports based on large amounts of data.
We have a set of BLC/DAC for a customization that has multiple tables with the given relationship
Table1 - T1ID (int-autoincrement), T1CD (char-substitute key)
Table2 - T2ID (int-autoincrement), T2CD (char-subsitute key), T1ID (reference to T1ID)
where the records in Table2 are unique for each given T1ID selected.
The initial design specification was for the users to select first the Table1 value, then the Table2 value (UsrTable1Value, UsrTable2Value respectively) in the data entry screens.
The users have recently asked if it's possible to combine these into one field simular to a Dimension selector so that there is one field resulting in "Table1-Table2" stored as T2ID.
My first thought was to simply create a subclassed dac with a concatenated property for T1CD-T2CD and base the substitute key off that however performance is a problem when that is done (1.6 million records). The delay is in the framwork side as it appears it processes the entire recordset when generating the concatenated substitute key.
Based on that I thought perhaps instead to simply generate a PXDimension configuration for this however I can't find any reference to make Dimension 2 rely on the value of Dimension 1.
I know i could always create a view that does this but i'd prefer to keep it within the framework if possible.
That basically brings me to two questions
1) Outside of a view, is there way to concatenate fields in the BQL so the lifting is done on the SQL and not with a calculated property?
2) Does anyone have or know of a sample of custom Dimensions where the values in level 2 depend on the value in level 1?
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
Out of the box, dimension selectors are designed to work only with Segmented Keys and won't be able to handle values from multiple tables. In theory, it can be possible to populate segment popup from different tables within a custom DimentionSelectorAttribute. However, this will additionally require to store each T1ID/T2ID pair in a separate table with some other column declared as a key (same concept used in the Sub table to store sub accounts: SubID is a key and SubCD stores values composed from multiple segments).
My personal opinion, the effort is just not worth it. Going one step further, I would check with the customer on how they expect navigation buttons (first, prev, next, last) to work with their segmented input control? If following standard Acumatica UI design with separate input created for every key field, no additional effort is needed to properly handle both data entry and navigation.
I have an information link that I want to restrict in spotfire when I add it as a data table so that certain data is excluded. I want to restrict column 'DAY' to the past 91 days.
These are the steps I have tried that haven't worked:
Added data table and clicked 'load on demand' (in the 'Add Data Tables' window) and then 'settings'
On the 'DAY' column, clicked 'Define Input'
Chose 'Range(fixed/properties/expression)' as the 'Input' for the selected parameter
Then as the 'expression' for the 'Min', used: DateAdd('dd',-91,DateTimeNow())
It returns an error when I try to add a transformation to the data or just returns no data when I add the data table. If I just restrict the data with a fixed value it works as expected but clearly this would mean that I would need to change the restriction everyday. I have also been able to restrict the data to a static date directly on the information link under the 'Filters' heading. What I really need is a dynamic restriction that is placed on in some way, in Spotfire, rather than directly on the data source (Oracle).
Would be grateful for any help! Thanks!
It couldn't recognize DateTimeNow(), which is a DateTime as a Date. Spotfire gets kind of picky about that sort of thing.
Replace the Expression used for Min with
DateAdd("dd",-91,Date(DateTimeNow()))
and it should work.
I am using the Logic App designer on Azure. Added "SQL Azure - Insert Row" as an Action, it prompts me to insert values for the columns but all the columns are marked as required and it doesn't save the changes/sequence if a value is not entered there.
Is there anyway of bypassing this or making the columns optional?
I tried this previously, there was no way to make the columns optional but i figured a workaround.
First, in the designer put any value, then open Code view and look for the columns you don't need and just delete it from the JSON schema and hit save :)
that should do it for you, but next time you open in designer and try to edit you have to do this again.
let me know if it helps
Edited
I added a screenshot of the steps that i made while trying to replicate this. (note that your database schema should handle these null values for the columns, in my case the Guid had a default value of newid() and the other column allowed nulls). You always pass null to the columns, not passing values at all might make sense for columns that has values computed or has default values (like newid() uniqueidentifier or getdate() for created/modified time)
I am working on an iPhone/iPad App that is using core data. I have a Table (Entity) that wants the user to select from another Table (relationship is setup in the model). I have worked through several tutorials, and it is working very well. Select one of the second table items, save the record. When I re-edit the record the correct value is properly showing. Great (since I am very new to this, I love how some of this works!).
However, if I click to bring up the Picker again - it defaults back to the top of the list, rather than the previously selected second record. All examples I could find have something in the Picker Class on viewDidLoad to set the selected row - to an integer? How would I know what row to select, since this is a table - not an array of fixed values?
