I want to do an IF statement that has 2 outcomes:
I want it to say a word
I want it to be a color
For example:
IF {Command.Check in/Appt} < 0
THEN "Early" AND crGreen
ELSE "LATE" AND crRed
In the above example the AND does not work.
A Boolean is required here.
So I just need to find a way to have those 2 outcomes
Short of using shared variables, you can't do that. One formula, one output.
But there's nothing saying you can't have two nearly identical formulas, (One for Early/Late, one for Red/Green) - And in Crystal, that's the best way to do it. (Glad to see you figured that out on your own.)
The reason the AND keyword was giving you trouble is because AND is a Boolean operator. Whenever you use AND, you're basically using this function:
Take booleans FOO and BAR as input.
I return true if, and only if, FOO and BAR are both true.
If at least one of them is false, I return false.
So the AND keyword was expecting two booleans for input. Instead you gave it a string and a color. Ask a machine if the color Red is equal to true, it's going to complain.
Ok, while I didn't find a solution by adding it in the formula, I did find a solution.
For those who have the same problem, just keep the IF statement:
IF {Command.Check in/Appt} < 0
THEN "Early"
ELSE "LATE"
Then save and go to Format > Highlight Expert to enter the formatting conditions you like.
In the above case, I did:
New > Value of: this field is equal to "Early" Font color Green
New > Value of: this field is equal to "Late" Font color Red

This is probably a very simple question, but i'm trying to write a formula which will display text depending on the value that is being run.
However, the text i require has the word "Floor" in it which is a function, therefore when i save the formula it warns me saying There is an error in this formula. Do you want to save it anyway?
Is there a way i can include the word Floor in the text, such as putting '' around the word?
For example
IF {database.column} = 3 THEN "3rd Floor"
try this, i think CR is expecting an Else statement
IF {database.column} = 3 THEN
"3rd Floor"
else ""
I found the issue, it was the fact that i had a line break in it without specifying it with Chrw().
Right-Click on feild then Formate Object & insert formula in Display string
IF {database.column} = 3 THEN '3rd Floor'
Having trouble finding a way to do this, maybe it is not even possible?
In my case, for testing flow of if-statements/user-interaction, am temporarily adding 40 lines of console.log('trigger-fired-1'); throughout our code.
However, to tell them apart would like each to end with a different number, so in this case, numbers one to forty like so:
In the screen recorded gif, to replicate what I am going for, all I did was copy/paste the numbers one to nine. What I really would like is a shortcut key to generate those numbers at the end for me to eliminate that step of typing out each unique number.
Am primarily coding in Visual Studio Code or Sublime Text, and in some cases shortcuts are similar, or at least have same support but for different shortcut keys.
There are a few extensions that allow you to do this:
Text Pastry
Increment Selection
NumberMonger
For Sublime Text, the solution to this problem is the internal Arithmetic command. Something similar may or may not be available in VS Code (possibly with an extension of some sort) but I'm not familiar enough with it to say for sure.
This command allows you to provide an expression of some sort to apply to all of the cursor locations and/or selected text.
By way of demonstration, here's the example you outlined above:
The expression you provide is evaluated once for every selection/caret in the buffer at the time, and the result of the expression is inserted into the buffer (or in the case of selected text, it replaces the selection). Note also that when you invoke this command from the input panel (as in the screen recording) the panel shows you a preview of what the expression output is going to be.
The special variable i references the selection number; selections are numbered starting at 0, so the expression i + 1 has the effect of inserting the selection numbers starting at 1 instead of 0.
The special variable x refers to the text in a particular selection instead. That allows you to select some text and then transform it based on your expression. An example would be to use x * 2 immediately after the above example (make sure all of the selections are still present and wrapping the numbers) to double everything.
You can use both variables at once if you like, as well as anything in the Python math library, for example math.sqrt(i) if you want some really esoteric logs.
The example above shows the command being selected from the command palette interactively, where the expression automatically defaults to the one that you want for your example (i + 1).
If you want to have this as a key binding, you can bind a key to the arithmetic command and provide the expression directly. For example:
{
"keys": ["super+a"],
"command": "arithmetic",
"args": {
"expr": "i+1"
},
},
Try this one ...
its not like sublime
but works g

I have a very long script in MATLAB (1500 lines) and want to test two different settings. To do so, I need to comment out some codes in a specific interval (e.g. form line 234 to line 255).
Is there a function in MATLAB that takes the intervals and comments/uncomments them automatically?
You can just highlight your code and click on the comment button. Highlight and click on uncomment to remove comment.In windows you may also use shortcut keys cntrl+r and cntrl+t. But yeah, the if else is a better idea but takes more time in the beginning to code in the if else.
I would agree with others that putting your code into a block surrounded by if-else would probably be a better solution than what you originally asked for.
But if you want to do it, you can use the following function:
function commentout(fromline, toline)
currentDoc = matlab.desktop.editor.getActive;
currentDoc.insertTextAtPositionInLine(sprintf('%%{\n'), fromline, 0)
currentDoc.insertTextAtPositionInLine(sprintf('%%}\n'), toline+1, 0)
This will work in most recent versions of MATLAB.
To uncomment, I think you'll need to do something a bit more complex, like getting the entire text from the active document, removing the specified comment lines, then setting the entire text back again (get, modify and set the Text property of the document).
argh!
Can't stand it that i can't figure it out myself....
i've used this in the formatting of a number in my report:
'€' #,0.00;('€' #,0.00)
and that formats to € 1,212.89
which is not exactly what i want, because i want € 1.212,89
regardless of the regional setting of the server.
So i tried this
'€' #.0,00;('€' #.0,00)
but that gives me this:
1.212.890
Typing this i realize that i don't know what the # and the . and the , mean in the format string.....
You can find the definition of the comma and period dynamic behavior here:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/0c899ak8.aspx
I think the best way to reliably get what you want is to hard code a locale into the expression for this field.
= (new Decimal(11123.55)).ToString("€#,0.00;(€#,0.00)",
new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("es-ES"))
This will always use the comma as decimal, and period as millions, thousands &c.
There are ways to be more dynamic and always return in the clients local set format, that would usually be preferable.
I know this is an old thread, but in case someone needs it, there is an easiest and most proper way to do it :
Right click on the Textbox of your expression
Select "Number" in the popup "Text Box Properties"
In the "Category", select "Number"
Tick the "Use 1000 separator
Click OK
To "customize" your '1000 separator':
Select the Textbox of your expression
In the Properties on the right, apply the right culture in the "Language" property.
E.g. Select "fr-CH" to have 123'456 otherwise the default is 123,456 as English separator.
Try this out. It will format your value to the correct number of decimal places.
=format(1212.89,"€#,#.00")
For indian currency, in the field value use like =Format(Fields!ServiceTaxAmt.Value,"##,##,##,###.00") and change the language value to hi-in for report property.
You can use the format € #,0.00 and set the language of your report to de-DE by clicking outside of the report area and in the right properties pane go to Localization -> Language.
This Works correctly with [set Language as hi-IN and Format as "##,##,##,###.00"]
Appreciate your Efforts
Also Same can be achieved by following Steps
Go to Text Box Properties
Select Number category in Number Tab
Check the check box beside [Use 1000 separator(,)]
Click Ok
I can change the style of a cell using conditional formatting. But there I would be limited to a maximum of 3 cases it can handle.
What I want to do is to get the value of a cell, convert it in a certain way and set the result as the cells background-color.
The simplest example would be cells with values between 0 and 10, resulting in gray-steps between white and black.
Is this possible? Are there ways to set the background-color of a cell automatically?
Thx!
This has been implemented in libreoffice 3.6 (see the release notes)
Format one cell how you want (not one you want to conditionally format).
Press F11 to get the Styles dialogue box
Use the button one from the top right, which is "New Style From Selection"
Type the name you want, e.g. BlackBack
Then do the conditional formatting of the relevant cells, choosing BlackBack

Note that you can find "Conditional Formatting" under the Format menu in OOo Calc.
As Joey said: "As far as I can see conditional formatting in OOo cannot do that. Excel has no problems there, though."
It's simply not possible... :-/
