I am trying to create a table of contents in Filemaker based on records sorted by Sub-Summaries. Is this doable? Thanks
Sure, as long as you have a field 'title' corresponding to the TOC title and another field 'pageNumber' corresponding to a page number.
Create a summary field called 'startPageNumber' equal to the minimum of pageNumber. Now create a sub-summary grouped by 'title' and then sorted by 'startPageNumber' (you'll need to check the box that says 'sort by summary').

I have a collection of addresses on one LibreOffice Calc sheet (7 columns, 1st name, 2nd street and so one) and want to create an invoice template on another sheet.
I know how to retrieve and transpose a known row - the solution on this other question explains that: Transpose column on one sheet to row on another, with linking
However, this does not seem to work if I use Data > Validity to fill the first cell in the address area (7 cells below each other).
What I am basically trying to accomplish is a dropdown in the first cell where I select the name and it automatically retrieves the address from the other sheet into the cells below.
Is this possible or am I overthinking here?
I suggest:
Name the data in your first column (eg CName)
Name your array of data (eg Clients)
Set the Source for Validity Criteria to CName
Assuming the validation is in A1, in A2 and copied down to suit:
=VLOOKUP(A$1,Clients,ROW()-0,0)
The -0 is not required if the validation is in Row1 but is where an offset should be made if not.
I group my table by 3 attributes, and set page break on every group, and now i want to display that three attribute outside the table. I want to place them on the top of the report, and when i type the expression and i go in run view it's display only the first value, when i go to the next page nothing change
I tried to drag field from table, from data set, and nothing working.
In expression i type
=Fields!My_Field.Value.
Also if some of that three attributes i placed in table it normally displays values, but when i try to move it somewhere it stops displaying.
The issue is that a table is associated with a dataset but a text box is not.
You can reference a field from a text box using the Dataset field ( =Sum(Fields!AMOUNT.Value, "Dataset1") ) but you need to use an aggregate function like First, Last, or SUM.
It sounds like you don't want to use an aggregate since you are grouping by these fields, though.
display the three attribute outside the table
If your trying to display the current grouping in the table at the top of each page, add a new Row in your matrix above your header row and add your group fields there.
I am working with a wizard-generated Tabular Form column that needs to display an icon which launches a Javascript function and pass the row value into the function when clicked. The function launches a popUp2 window which sets the values of other fields on that row. So the row number is crucial, but it is always 0 for newly-created rows (in APEX 4.0.0.00.46). I managed to solve that problem by storing the rowNum of new rows into my Updated By column during AddRow.
What I have now is an Updated By column ("Lookup" Heading) which stores the row number of new rows, has onClick="javascript:usePopup(this);" in the Element Attributes which launches the popUp window function, and then gets any values under 2 digits wiped before submit. This fills the correct fields and submits to the table with no problem.
I can't keep using the Updated By column for this function, though. There are currently reports running on this table, so I can't add a new column to the table. I need a dummy column to display the icon, temporarily store the Row Number of newly created rows, and not mess up the MRU. It is f08, so the value of f08_0005 needs to be 0005. I tried making a null column with
select
"FUEL_USAGE_DETAIL_ID", ...
"EXPENSE_TO_PROJECT",
"EXPENSE_TO_TASK",
NULL Lookup,
"UPDATED_BY",
"PROVIDER"
from "#OWNER#"."FUEL_USAGE_DETAIL"
but that can't submit. I get the Error in mru internal routine: ORA-20001: Error in MRU: row= 1, ORA-20001: ORA-20001: Current version of data in database has changed since user initiated update process. current checksum = "01A949FAF0B3A91914ECACCDC9BBA9E6", item checksum = "B6ADF86455B14EF691B2AFB314926A0D".
Please help me create a null column to display this icon, store the row number of all the rows (including the brand new rows), and not mess up the MRU. If you need pictures of what I have and what I need, see my other thread: https://community.oracle.com/thread/3649771 Thank you!
Fractal65,
Do not add any null column in tabular form.
just go to>>Edit tabular form attribute make following change
you will get it position as f02_000X (x-rownum)
now uou can use this rownum value in javascript or anything.
Hope this helps.
I had a similar error with my last project. Do you have a none displayed row selector? Please try to delete it to see if it will work.
When creating a report, is there a script that can be written that looks up the values of all the previous fields and if the current field is the same value, that value does not show on the list?
So the field will only show a value if its value is different that the previous values…
with one exception - at the beginning of a new slate number, it always prints the values for every field.
The simple way is to summarize the report by that field and show only the sub-summary part (i.e. remove the body part from the layout).
I have a spreadsheet that has quite a few tables and I wonder what would be the formula to lookup table name from cell in iWork Numbers? For example I have table with name TableA, inside of that table I want to put something like "=$B1" or whatever to get the name "January01" in it. Just typing it is not acceptable, cause those table names will change for multiple day of the month (we planning to have 30-31 tables in one spreadsheet and have 12 spreadsheets for number of months).
It is possible to use text in another cell to specify a sheet and/or table name in the cell or range address within a formula in another cell.
You can use the INDIRECT function.
"The INDIRECT function returns the contents of a cell or range
referenced by an address specified as a string value."
from the iWork Numbers function browser
Example:
Assume the cells in column A of a particular table contain the names of the sheets in the workbook.
In column B you could count the number of cells that contain the text 'equal' in column D of Table 1 in each sheet using:
=COUNTIF(INDIRECT($A2&"::Table 1::$D", 1),"=equal")
Here the sheet name is specified in column A so the formula can be used for the entire column without having to manually edit the formula to specify the sheet name.
According to this support forum entry that is not possible. Came across it as I was looking for a solution to the same problem.
This is a very old thread, but here is how to get the table name:
You need to use the REFERENCE.NAME function to get the name of the table (plus some extraneous info, that you get rid of by using the TEXTBEFORE function).
TEXTBEFORE(REFERENCE.NAME(SomeTableName::$A$1,1),":")
The entry "SomeTableName::$A$1" is a random cell reference (in this case cell A1) from the table whose name you are interested to get. During formula entry, you merely click on a cell of the table in question to generate this reference, and then lock cell column and row, as needed.
The parameter "1" following the cell reference tells the REFERENCE.NAME function to return the name of the table and the cell name. There is no option to return just the table name.
The TEXTBEFORE function truncates the returned string to everything before the first colon, returning just the table name.
