Just a quick question, everytime I hit "edit" "add row" it adds the row but not at the bottom of the table, it usually places it like 5-10 rows from the bottom and while it's not a huge deal it's just time consuming to move it and confusing at times because they're random rows all over now. Is their a setting or a certain way to add rows so they just get added to the bottom of the fusion table instead of randomly throughout?
The rows will not be displayed randomly.
They will be displayed based on the order-settings.
When you didn't define a sort-column they will be ordered by their internal rowID, and that's the issue: the rowID's are not consecutive.
So the answer is: No, you can't.
The only workaround would be to add another column with a incrementing Number(and sort by this column), but I wouldn't suggest it.

I have a problem with a rdlc page breaking and table with multiple detail rows. Tried everything that crossed my mind, none works.
As you can see on the picture below, the table has 7 detail rows.
Now, when report is rendered, the page gets spitted between, for example, rows 2 and 3 which is bad.
I wish to keep all of detail rows (that belong to one record) on the same page. How can I accomplish this?
I think you should create a group based on whatever joins the one record together, let's call it PlaceID. So right click, Add Group, choose what to group by.
Then, under the row groups you should have a group by PlaceID, and underneath that, a row marked "Details". Highlight Details in the lower section, which should highlight in the report the rows involved. Set the KeepTogether property of that section to True, should keep details on the same page.
If you don't want to use the Group option mentioned by Jerry, this option in the Table Properties may help...
I'm trying to use the filter() formula within a spreadsheet, from another tab within that spreadsheet.
I've got a number of drop-down menus that, when used, bring up the relevant data from the table I'm filtering from.
I've managed to make it work when it's a table of data from row 2 downwards (row 1 being a header row), but now the table starts from the 6th row down with other information above it (most of it, however, is blank). As such, now all of the options come up automatically when the drop down menus are blank.
I either need the formula below to start from the 6th row down, or to ignore the blank cells. It must be an easy solution but for the life of me, I can't find it anywhere on the internet (I'm pretty new with spreadsheet formulas so please be gentle).
This is the formula I've been using that works when there are no blank rows:
=FILTER(Sheet2!A:T,(Sheet2!D:D=B12)+(Sheet2!F:F=C12)+(Sheet2!G:G=D12)+(Sheet2!H:H=E12)+(Sheet2!I:I=F12)+(Sheet2!N:N=G12)+(Sheet2!O:O=H12)+(Sheet2!T:T=I12))
If it helps, the drop-down options are both numbers and text, and I'm using Google Sheets rather than Excel.
You can probably just change your ranges to 'A6:T' instead of 'A:T'. 'A:A' range syntax gets all rows in that column. 'A6:A' will start it at 6 but not define an ending row, which I think is what you want.
This is your formula with those small changes:
=FILTER(Sheet2!A6:T,(Sheet2!D6:D=B12)+(Sheet2!F6:F=C12)+(Sheet2!G6:G=D12)+(Sheet2!H6:H=E12)+(Sheet2!I6:I=F12)+(Sheet2!N6:N=G12)+(Sheet2!O6:O=H12)+(Sheet2!T6:T=I12))
The =isBlank() formula may be useful to you as well. It takes a cell reference and returns true/false. You can wrap this in NOT() to give the opposite result, i.e =NOT(ISBLANK(A1)) will return true if there is a value.
I'm in great need of help. I've a form which asks basic questions and puts the results into rows of an existing spreadsheet.
Specific data from those responses are "promoted" to 2nd, 3rd and 4th tabs based on IF formulas on tabs 2+ checking the value of a pull down selection on in the corresponding row on each previous tab. (Waterfall)
My challenge is - forms data is inserted into a new row (Does not use existing) and if I set the pulldown value to "Approved" on the first tab, the formulas on the second tab which were contiguous now skip the row where the form data was automatically entered.
I suspect I need to learn how to properly use ArrayFormula, etc, but have not managed to fix this looking at existing examples combined with my IF statements.
Help is appreciated. Sample is here. Safe to ignore the first and last tabs.
Thank you.
You can try using an open-ended range with ArrayFormula. For example, the formula on "2-Pipeline" in cell D3 could be:
=arrayformula(IF('1-IdeasReceived'!U2:U="Approved",'1-IdeasReceived'!L2:L, ))
The ranges U2:U and L2:L should pick up all rows in those columns, even after you've had forms submitted.
Since this is an ArrayFormula over column ranges, you only need it in cell D3; it will inject CONTINUE formulas down the rest of the column.
Warning: Your spreadsheet is combining dynamic row content (e.g. pulled from another sheet) with static content (e.g. "Environment, Health & Safety" column on "2-Pipeline" sheet). This is bound to result in misalignment if rows are added or deleted in the middle of the source data.
I have a column in a Google spreadsheet with data validation, that makes a drop down menu available when editing existing rows. Occasionally though contributors create new rows at the bottom of the doc and this validation is lost.
I would like to keep this validatation in the column even in newly created rows (excluding the header row).
I have seen much of this discussion throughout stackoverflow and google help forums, but still cannot find a clear answer.
My hunch is that this would involve Google Apps Acript using an onEdit trigger and then either paint formatting or a combination of the confusing class DataValidationBuilder. (https://developers.google.com/apps-script/reference/spreadsheet/data-validation-builder) but I'm not sure beyond that.
While not necessarily elegant I found the following to work:
create your validation on the entire column
once that's done click the cell(s) that represent the heading, select data / validation, and then click on 'remove validation' on that single cell.
This way any newly inserted rows will inherit the validation set up on the entire column and you don't have to always be reminded that your heading isn't a valid value.
onEdit trigger which uses Range.getDataValidation() and Range.setDataValidation() to copy the rule from an existing row to the new row
While in the data validation dialog screen you can manually enter the range as "Sheet1!A:A" to apply the formula to all of column A.
This also includes new rows added afterwards
I'm not sure if this is a new feature but this worked. Set the validation as list from interval and interval as:
'sheet'!C2:C
This includes all new rows excluding title(first row)
I need to change the orientation of a table in a BIRT report so that the table header is vertical instead of horizontal.
Is this possible? I don't want to use a Crosstab.
It seems this thread is still being pointed at so I posted an example of a horizontal table layout using a crosstab. I know it won't help the original author but others following this thread now may find this helpful.
To create the horizontal grouping, first create your query like normal, then create a Data Cube. In this data cube, drag each field that you want into a group. Then drag a new crosstab on the report and drag each field into the top right column group area. It will create a new header row for each field. Don't put anything in the left side (Rows) and don't put anything in the measure field (bottom-right). This will create labels on the left... and the data will extend out to the right.
The report design example can be downloaded from: http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/files/file/1079-horizontal-table-using-crosstab/

If you want dataset records to be reported across the page, this would have to be done via a crosstab.
If you want dataset records to be reported down the page, this can't be done automatically as far as I know. However, it can be done by inserting a new detail line in your report table object for each database field to be reported, then moving column headings from the heading row into the first column's detail rows and moving record values into the second column's detail rows.
So, for example, a report with 6 columns in it would become a two column report with six detail rows.
Not in box (up to 3.7). You have to use 3'd party libs like that one.
