I am trying to create a report in BI. I have created a data model using a sql script and the data type is string. I then created a report using this data model and the sample data is showing as 06185 as shown below.
But when i run the report the output is showing as 6185.0 with decimal places.
I have tried to change the format by double clicking the value. But I cant choose any format except none in the report designer. What I need is the values to be displayed same as the sample data.
06185 is not a number - it's a string. As a number you will never have leading 0s. 6185 is a number.
So first of all you need to find out what your data is really supposed to be. "06185" = string. 6185 = integer. 6185.0 = double.
To be quick simply add ' character next to the number character... Else excel will make your life difficult specially if you have bank account numbers...

You may have to edit this with the desktop Microsoft Word add-in. There's limited capabilities with the Oracle BI Publisher Stand-alone running on the server.
You have 100% control if you're editing the template in Word. Unfortunately, there's limited export capability to export your existing template. Oracle BI publisher stand-alone will export an XML file, which to my knowledge is not visually editable in Word. There is an ability to import an RTF file which you created in Word, though. So Install the BI Publisher desktop/Word add-in. Make a new file, save as .rtf format, use the tool to import an example XML file, add a table, and continue editing as you need to. If you need help with this, there's plenty of documentation out there to get you started. Also, there's a Template Viewer application that's also installed that will let you process the XML sample/data file and rtf file into Excel, PDF, or whichever you prefer.

I want to download multiple xml files from web service API. I have a query that gets a JSON document:
= Json.Document(Web.Contents("http://reports.sem-o.com/api/v1/documents/static-reports?DPuG_ID=BM-086&page_size=100"))
and manipulates it to get list of file names such as: PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627.xml in a column on an excel spreadsheet.
I hoped to get a function to run against this list of names to get all the data, so first I worked on one file: PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627
= Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://reports.sem-o.com/documents/PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627.xml"))
This gets an xml table which I manipulate to get the data I want (the half hourly metered MWh for generator GU_401970
Now I want to change the query into a function to automate the process across all xml files avaiable from the service. The function requires a variable to be substituted for the filename. I try this as preparation for the function:
let
Filename="PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627.xml",
Source = (Web.Contents("https://reports.sem-o.com/documents/Filename")),
(followed by the manipulating Mcode)
This doesnt work.
then this:
let
Filename="PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627.xml",
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://reports.sem-o.com/documents/[Filename]")),
I get:
DataFormat.Error: Xml processing failed. Either the input is invalid or it isn't supported. (Internal error: Data at the root level is invalid. Line 1, position 1.)
Details:
Binary
So stuck here. Can you help.
thanks

You append strings with the "&" symbol in Power Query. [Somename] is the format for referencing a field within a table, a normal variable is just referenced with it's name. So in your example
let Filename="PUB_DailyMeterDataD1_201812041627.xml",
Source = Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://reports.sem-o.com/documents/" & Filename)),
Would work.
It sounds like you have an existing query that drills down to a list of filenames and you are trying to use that to import them from the url though, so assuming that the column you have gotten the filenames from is called "Filename" then you could add a custom column with this in it
Xml.Tables(Web.Contents("https://reports.sem-o.com/documents/" & [Filename]))
And it will load the table onto the row of each of the filenames.
I have an MDB file which contains a number of tables and forms. Each field has a validation rule such as Is Null Or >=0 And <=255.
This access database is being converted into an online system using MySQL. Exporting all the data is easy using MDBTools (https://github.com/brianb/mdbtools).
However I can't find any way of exporting the validation rules. There are thousands of fields across over 100 tables so it's going to be important to export and import them rather than rewrite each one.
I don't really mind what format they're exported in, any sort of text format so I could do a regular expression or something will be fine.
However I haven't been able to find any information anywhere on exporting these validation rules.
Perhaps if it's not built into access by default then a VB script could be used to find the info and write it to a text file? I'm not really familiar with access or windows at all so if anyone could suggest if that was a possibility that would be great.
Using VBA allows you to retrieve field validation rules directly.
I realize it's probably too late to help you now. And, although it may not seem appropriate for someone unfamiliar with Access and VBA, this approach requires only a table, copying the code below into a standard module, and running it. So someone else may benefit.
I created my table, field_validation_rules, to store the text of the validation rule properties. The table includes 3 text fields: table_name; field_name; and validation_rule.
Public Sub GatherValidationRules()
Dim db As DAO.Database
Dim fld As DAO.Field
Dim rs As DAO.Recordset
Dim tdf As DAO.TableDef
Set db = CurrentDb
Set rs = db.OpenRecordset("field_validation_rules", dbOpenTable, dbAppendOnly)
For Each tdf In db.TableDefs
If Not (tdf.Name Like "~*" Or tdf.Name Like "MSys*") Then
For Each fld In tdf.Fields
If Len(fld.ValidationRule) > 0 Then
rs.AddNew
rs!table_name.Value = tdf.Name
rs!field_name.Value = fld.Name
rs!validation_rule.Value = fld.ValidationRule
rs.Update
End If
Next
End If
Next
rs.Close
End Sub
The ValidationRule property is a string value. If the property has not been assigned for a given field, ValidationRule is an empty string. The code skips those, storing only validation rules for fields which have them assigned.
If you want the collected validation rules in a text file, there a several options. I dumped mine to CSV like this:
DoCmd.TransferText acExportDelim, , "field_validation_rules", "C:\share\Access\field_validation_rules.txt", False
To anyone else finding this, this is how I wound up doing it. This was in Access 2003, it may be different in other versions.
First I went to Tools > Analyze > Documenter selected the table I wanted and used these settings:
I was then presented with what looked like a pdf or word doc (I don't think it is, but it doesn't really matter).
I then did File > Export and selected "Text Files .txt" and saved it to a location on my computer.
I then opened the .txt file in PHP (anywhere you can do regular expressions should be fine).
In my instance not every single field had validation rules and the validation rules did not appear if they were not set, which meant a regular expression to fetch the fieldID had more results than to fetch the validation rules.
So I used two regular expressions.
/SourceField:\s+(\S+).*?AllowZeroLength/msi
This gets everything betwenen SourceField and AllowZeroLength. AllowZeroLength is the first bit of repeating text after the validation rules.
I then used this regular expression to get the validation rules from within that string.
/ValidationRule:\s+(.*)\\r/
I had to use \r instead of new line, probably something to do with moving it from Windows to Ubuntu.
In PHP it looked like this:
<?php
$file_contents = file_get_contents('validations.txt');
$response = [];
preg_match_all('/SourceField:\s+(\S+).*?AllowZeroLength/msi', $file_contents, $matches);
for($i = 0; $i < count($matches[0]); $i++) {
$id = $matches[1][$i];
preg_match('/ValidationRule:\s+(.*)\\r/', $matches[0][$i], $validation_match);
$response[$id] = $validation_match[1] ?? null;
}
There is almost certainly a cleaner regular expression than this, but this was incredibly quick and I got exactly what I wanted.
I am using a Kendo spreadsheet to import data from an Excel file so I can plug it into an SQL Server database using Ajax callbacks. The Ajax callbacks work fine, but I have determined that any Date strings are being converted to an integer offset from a base date of 12/30/1899. I have submitted a support ticket to Telerik, but they do not seem to understand the problem.
The data is displayed in the Kendo spreadsheet appropriately as a date. Kendo converts a date input as "12/1/2015" to "12-1-2015".
I am using the latest version of the ASP.NET MVC 5 wrapper, but the JavaScript code is the 2016-1-226-545 version of the JavaScript. The wrapper version seems to be irrelevant, but later versions of the JavaScript have the gulpfile.js, and this conflicts with the Bundleconfig interface on my ASP.NET MVC 5 project, so I simply work with the last version of the JavaScript that works for my setup.
The spreadsheet I am working with is pretty basic to start:
#(
Html.Kendo().Spreadsheet()
.Name("SiteSlotDataSS")
.Rows(10)
.Columns(4).ColumnWidth(100)
.Sheets(sheets =>
{
sheets.Add()
.Name("Study Data");
}
)
)
I use the import option to pull in an Excel spreadsheet and use a simple button with a click event routine to copy the data to a string array to send to the Ajax callback. I have confirmed that the data being sent to the server controller is the same as it is on the client side before being sent. The Date conversion to an integer occurs when the values are extracted from the range.
The code in question that selects the values is:
values = sheet.range("A" + headerRows.toString() + ":" + endRange + (headerRows + rows).toString()).values();
This produces the correct translation of every other column except for columns containing dates.
I tried the following to brute-force the issue, without success:
for (var x = 0; x <= rows; x++) {
sheet.range("K" + (headerRows + x).toString()).format(kendo.spreadsheet.formatting.date);
}
I could try a date function to convert the date back into the original value, but everyone pretty much knows how Telerik's documentation is a bit skimpy and overall simply a nightmare to find answers to questions with.
What is the solution?
It appears that Kendo Spreadsheet stores the date values as an integer offset from 12/30/1899 in days. I determined the "0" value by entering a date of 1/1/1901 to see what came back, then 1/1/1900. The result of the latter was "2", making the base date 12/30/1899. Taking the data and converting it at the server seems to be the best option. I don't really expect much of a response from Telerik.
I have addressed the storage issue with Telerik, and they have acknowledged there is a bug in the spreadsheet widget.
For now, the solution is to bring the values array one row at a time back to the server and do the data conversion server-side. The integer that is returned in the values array for dates is the way the Kendo Spreadsheet stores the information client-side. Formatting the column simply will not do anything but change the client-side display. It will not change how Kendo returns the values matrix from the spreadsheet range selected.
Firstly, I think you mean 12/31/1899. It makes no sense to refer anything to 12/30/1899.
Excel dates start with 1/1/1900, just as do your Kendo (Japanese: "the way of the sword") dates. If you're getting an integer, forcibly coerce it to the corresponding date on the receiving by merely FORMATTING THE COLUMN. There is no need for a specific function to "convert" days-since-1900 counts to text dates (MM/DD/YYYY), as they are the SAME, differing only in human-readable representation.
Of course, it wasn't clear from your description whether Excel was on the input side or the output side of the problem.
I have around 10 lines of converted text. I want to store that text to a cache for a day. I am using Microsoft translator to convert the text so I don't want to call the Microsoft service for the same text again and again.
my code:
string key = "cachekey"
textConverted = "i am using ";
HttpContext.Current.Cache.Insert(key, textConverted, null, DateTime.Now.AddDays(1), Cache.NoSlidingExpiration);
steps:
1. i uploaded file using browse option.
2. uploaded file content displayed in non-editable format
3. now i have to select few words.
for this i used mouseMoveAt (100,200) mouseDown() mouseMoveAt (150,250) mouseMoveUp().
This is not working..
Can anyone can give sample code?
I'm not sure I understand your question completely, but here's my take -
You can use selenium.getText(); for retrieving the text on a page and storing it in a variable. You can use this variable, which you can verify for correctness.
Here's an example syntax:
String var = selenium.getText(your_identifier_for_text);
Further, if you need to extract and verify just a portion of the text contained in var, you can use Java string functions.
