I need to submit my thesis in word in a few days and heard that I could not submit it if my reference numbers were not in chronological order.
Word seems to number text references first and then start on captions in tables and figures. The result is that for example on the first page I have an alinea with reference number 1 at the end and below is figure 1 with reference number 59 in the caption instead of reference number 2.
Last year I used EndNote, this year Mendeley and had the same problem with both. If you need more information, please let me now. It's quite an emergency, need to solve this as quick as possible.

As the title suggests I'm wondering if there is a way to count days from 1 Column from the current day, then when filling in another column it stops counting the difference in days?
I'm using the following formula (found online)
={"Days";ArrayFormula(if(A3:A="",,int(B3:I)-left(A3:A,10)))}
Column A being where my date of entry is, column B is a hidden column with every row set to the
=Today()
I have another column, Column C that I will enter the date manually after date of completion, at which point I would like it to then stop counting the days and show me the number of days between Column A and C (Date 1 and Date 2)
I'm not overly experienced in google sheets but I'm thinking maybe there's a way to
check if column C is empty, if so carry on with todays date, if it's not empty to
calculate Column C - Column A?
Would making an new column for checking if the completion date has been entered work?
ISBLANK(C:C)
If so would it be possible to get one formula to check whether True or False and determine what 2 dates to work with? Lets say Column D is for ISBLANK the following is what I think of
={"Days";ArrayFormula(if(CD:D="False",,int(C3:C)-left(A3:A,10)))}
={"Days";ArrayFormula(if(D3:D="True",,int(B3:B)-left(A3:A,10)))}
When I try this I have no luck and get a "Result was not expanded automatically, please insert more rows (1)" error message
Any help would be appreciated!
Apply the formula :
=if(B2="",today(),B2)-A2
at C2. And drag downwards. That's should do.
Please share if it work/understandable/not.
Sorry it's a bit hard to understand this question, if you could post a current and desired screenshot example that would help I think.
So, I think your best bet here is to review this video if you're wanting sheets to auto-input a time entry when a cell is modified:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=548dD3iXetg
And it will show you how to script a cell to enter in a time entry when another cell is edited, and then you could use a variation of formulas to calculate the difference between the days of the original minus the date from the script (such as the once referenced below or by #p.phidot )
So for an example, once you script the time entry to work in the background of the sheet, you have a formula using an IF statement to make it pull between your today date or the new date being entered.
My cell references below are an example as I can't follow the question sheet.
=if(b2="",A2-B2,A2-C2)
This way if b2 is not blank it'll do a2-c2. You could also use ISBLANK if you like.
Good afternoon,
I am very new to Crystal Reports, so am not sure where to look for this information and would appreciate if someone can point me in the right direction or tell me if what I am asking for is impossible.
One of our departments uses a field called RecordChanges to note changes made to a record. The field is text and the department stores information there about the date a change is made and the type of change, separated by commas (i know this is terribly inefficient, but it's what I have to work with). I have a Crystal Report that parses this text field and picks up the latest date and latest change made to the record. I would like to modify this report to include ALL the changes made to the record, so if the field RecordChanges of the data source has 3 dates, I would like this record to appear in my Crystal Report 3 times, once for each change that was made. How to parse the field I can figure out but where I'm stuck is how do I make the number of times a record appears equal to the number of dates found which is my {#DateFound} field?
There is a lack of details, but as far as I understood the problem and assuming that you did state in the comment that "there wouldn't ever be more than 5 changes to an order", here is a first try to tackle the situation.
I will assume that you already have a formula that "parses this text field and picks up the latest date and latest change made to the record". And that you know how to adjust this formula to pick up each of the record changes. I will name this formula as {#Parser1}.
Based on {#Parser1}, create other 4 formulas: {#Parser2}, {#Parser3}, {#Parser4}, {#Parser5}. As you probably presume, each formula must be changed to parser the Nth occurrence of the record change.
Create 5 details sections.
Put each formula in each detail section.
Suppress the detail section wich formula is null or empty.
That's it.
The limitation is that you can have at most 5 record changes.
This is an awkward solution, but it is necessary (as far as I know) since Crystal Reports works based on your data rows. It iterates over the rows, but cannot "generate" more rows by itself. If you can manipulate the data source, you can create other solutions.
You still need to do the magic trick to pickup the Nth change from the text.
I'm a beginner for tableau. I want to get the direct numbers for each row, but i get the number which are separate, how can i achieve this?
I've tried the sentence like:count("Implemented"), but I don't get the result I want.
For example, for the 1st row I want 3 10 10
not 111 10 112111111
Here is worksheet.
My code:
EDIT :
here is the photo for implementation opportunities
As you can see, the status is related to the date, I think maybe it causes the records which are counted 1by1.
Now the situation is that: i create the code which is related to the date, if i remove this from mark, it will cause the problem (the code is related to the date), but if i leave it, the system will always count it one by one. My code is not perfect but i can't find another one which can replace it.....
EDIT 2:
in short,what i want is the sum of the remaining opportunity:10
capture
Remove DAY from Mark shelf. That detail is producing those separations.
Attaching a workbook with numbers similar to (but not exact due to proprietary issues) is almost always advised. You will get the right answer a lot sooner than just screenshots.
In any case, it seems as if the measure portion of the visualization is properly being summed by the date. Try selecting the measure, and manually selecting "sum" from the menu drop down. Here is a link for more detail.
Secondly, you can play around with table calculations. Click this link and read up on option 3.
I will try to explain the problem on an abstract level first:
I have X amount of data as input, which is always going to have a field DATE. Before, the dates that came as input (after some process) where put in a table as output. Now, I am asked to put both the input dates and any date between the minimun date received and one year from that moment. If there was originally no input for some day between this two dates, all fields must come with 0, or equivalent.
Example. I have two inputs. One with '18/03/2017' and other with '18/03/2018'. I now need to create output data for all the missing dates between '18/03/2017' and '18/04/2017'. So, output '19/03/2017' with every field to 0, and the same for the 20th and 21st and so on.
I know to do this programmatically, but on powercenter I do not. I've been told to do the following (which I have done, but I would like to know of a better method):
Get the minimun date, day0. Then, with an aggregator, create 365 fields, each has that "day0"+1, day0+2, and so on, to create an artificial year.
After that we do several transformations like sorting the dates, union between them, to get the data ready for a joiner. The idea of the joiner is to do an Full Outer Join between the original data, and the data that is going to have all fields to 0 and that we got from the previous aggregator.
Then a router picks with one of its groups the data that had actual dates (and fields without nulls) and other group where all fields are null, and then said fields are given a 0 to finally be written to a table.
I am wondering how can this be achieved by, for starters, removing the need to add 365 days to a date. If I were to do this same process for 10 years intead of one, the task gets ridicolous really quick.
I was wondering about an XOR type of operation, or some other function that would cut the number of steps that need to be done for what I (maybe wrongly) feel is a simple task. Currently I now need 5 steps just to know which dates are missing between two dates, a minimun and one year from that point.
I have tried to be as clear as posible but if I failed at any point please let me know!
Im not sure what the aggregator is supposed to do?
The same with the 'full outer' join? A normal join on a constant port is fine :) c
Can you calculate the needed number of 'dublicates' before the 'joiner'? In that case a lookup configured to return 'all rows' and a less-than-or-equal predicate can help make the mapping much more readable.
In any case You will need a helper table (or file) with a sequence of numbers between 1 and the number of potential dublicates (or more)
I use our time-dimension in the warehouse, which have one row per day from 1753-01-01 and 200000 next days, and a primary integer column with values from 1 and up ...
You've identified you know how to do this programmatically and to be fair this problem is more suited to that sort of solution... but that doesn't exclude powercenter by any means, just feed the 2 dates into a java transformation, apply some code to produce all dates between them and for a record to be output for each. Java transformation is ideal for record generation

Ok... so you could override your source qualifier to achieve this in the selection query itself (am giving Oracle based example as its what I'm used to and I'm assuming your data in is from a table). I looked up the connect syntax here
SQL to generate a list of numbers from 1 to 100
SELECT (MIN(tablea.DATEFIELD) + levquery.n - 1) AS Port1 FROM tablea, (SELECT LEVEL n FROM DUAL CONNECT BY LEVEL <= 365) as levquery
(Check if the query works for you - haven't access to pc to test it at the minute)
I'm trying to get a formula that will break down the amount of times a user enters a contest each day.
I'm pretty new to this whole thing, basically putting it together using google to figure out the code I need to use/modify. Explaining why something works would be greatly appreciated so I can use it elsewhere!
Here's a dummy of the form I'm banging my head against.
I would like the form to be reusable, so on the Sorted form I have a date key that automatically fills out the week when you choose the first day. Because of this, I would like each formula to refer to this date key, instead of manually typing the google equivalent of 'February 1st, 2015' into the formula.
I've tried to use the SUMIFS formula, and I've run in to a few errors.
Apparently both pages have to be the same amount of rows, otherwise I get an 'Array arguments to SUMIFS are of different size'. I didn't want my 'sorted' sheet to be 1761 rows long, since all of the duplicate names will have been condensed and I wanted it prettier. Nuts to that! Guess I can hide the rows? Is there any other solution?
It looks like this works:
=SUMIFS(Entered!E3:E1000, Sorted!E3:E1000, Sorted!$E3, Entered!A3:A1000, date(Sorted!$C7))
Where entered!E: is the number of entries, sortedE: is the list of usernames, and E3 is the specific one I'm looking for. Then EnteredA3 is the list of dates and time, and Sorted!C7 is the specific date I'm looking for. I don't get any results!
If I click on my C7 and sorted!A, the little calender pops up, which means they are dates (I think?). One includes the hours:minutes:seconds and the other doesn't, which I think is my problem. I would like to have sorted!C7 be the entire day, and filter out all of those entries.
This is taking information entered via a google form which I won't have control of, so I can't really change the H:M:S additions to the date column.
Thinking ahead to day 2 and onwards, will the same formula work when sorted!C10 is C$7$+1? Is it not a date anymore?
I would also like to add up the amount of daily entries, in sorted!S7 and below. I've tried wrapping both the column of dates and the date from my day key in the date() thing, but it doesn't seem to work either.
=SUMIF(date(Entered!A3:A),date(Sorted!C7),Entered!E3:E)
It gives me a '1', and I have no idea where that comes from.
I haven't been able to find much about the google SUMIFS function, mostly how to replicate it from before it was a thing.
And for even MORE complexity:
I was wondering if it is possible to have UNIQUE find the IDs in entered!C, and return all the associated usernames. That pesky angelo changed their username to 'pants' midway through the contest, and I'd like to be able to see both names and add up both 'angelo' and 'pants' entries in the same line in my formulas.
I feel like I'll need a few hidden columns that have the UNIQUE ID number and the associated usernames that I pull into my Sorted!Username column, but I don't know how to search the IDs to find the different usernames.
I tried to google that, but I have no idea what I'm googling.
Whewph! That is a lot of questions, thanks for any help!
Too long for my taste, but you might try:
=sumifs(Entered!E:E,Entered!A:A,">="&$C$7,Entered!A:A,"<"&$C$7+1,Entered!B:B,$E3)
in Sorted!F3 and copied down to suit.
Oh my goodness, you are a hero!
My final code wound up being:
=IF(ISBLANK(Sorted!$E3)=TRUE, "", sumifs('Entered'!$E:$E,'Entered'!$A:$A,">="&$C$7,'Entered'!$A:$A,"<"&$C$7+1,'Entered'!$B:$B,$E3))
I changed the start and end points by making $C$7 into $C$7+1, and the ending one into +2. (In case anyone else is looking at this answer.)
I'm super pleased that it worked!
Using this I managed to add up each of the daily entries, just by adding up the columns they were in.
I gave up on the UNIQUE idea, if someone changes their username during the contest, then they can add up the two rows themselves.
Thanks again! I'd upvote you, but I can't yet.
