I would like to know if any of my projects (A,B,C or D) have ever been associated with certain tasks from another table.
For instance have project A ever been associated with 'pear' in any of the 'project tasks'
I would assume this would require a array formula to look across a long list of project and check if any project 'A* is associated with pear in a 'contain' manner?
Firstly, it may be possible that your tasks list includes words within words (using your fruit analogy, egAppleand Crabapple
Second, your Project Tasks list needs to be consistant (one choice of seperator, no spaces). So either clean it up manually, or write a formula to do it. Your choice of separator must not appear in in the task list (if you had a task do this, or that then comma wouldn't work) I'll demo the formula
Add a columnJ with this formula
=","&SUBSTITUTE(SUBSTITUTE(I2,";",",")," ","")&","
Add more Substitutes if needed
Then use this formula for the results
=COUNTIFS($H:$H,$A2,$J:$J,"*," & B$1 & ",*") > 0

Not sure I was able to explain myself too well in the title so here it goes:
I have been trying to figure this one out using the Filter function, but I am unable to make it work, and I am sure there must be an easy way to do it. The idea is that I have a column with the names of the members of a team, and each team member needs to perform a number of actions in a set of tasks. I am counting the amount of actions performed by each team member on each task, and trying to filter those by team member and by task.
So it goes like this: I have a list of names in column B. The number of actions in column C and the task would be selected from a dropdown menu done with 'Data validation'. When I select the task from my drop down menu, the number of actions would change to reflect the actions performed per agent on the selected task.
I added an example too. In the example I filtered the data in sheet 'Data' by names, but I don't know how to add a criteria that would also filter by the tasks on row 1 in the sheet 'Data', or if it is even possible.

I could need some help with a Anylogic Model.
Model (short): Manufacturing scenario with orders move in a individual route. The workplaces (WP) are dynamical created by simulation start. Their names, quantity and other parameters are stored in a database (excel Import). Also the orders are created according to an import. The Agent population "order" has a collection routing which contains the Workplaces it has to stop in the specific order.
Target: I want a moveTo block in main which finds the next destination of the agent order.
Problem and solution paths:
I set the destination Type to agent and in the Agent field I typed a function agent.getDestination(). This function is in order which returns the next entry of the collection WP destinationName = routing.get(i). With this I get a Datatype error (while run not compiling). I quess it's because the database does not save the entrys as WP Type but only String.
Is there a possiblity to create a collection with agents from an Excel?
After this I tried to use the same getDestination as String an so find via findFirst the WP matching the returned name and return it as WP. WP targetWP = findFirst(wps, w->w.name == destinationName);
Of corse wps (the population of Workplaces) couldn't be found.
How can I search the population?
Maybe with an Agentlink?
I think it is not that difficult but can't find an answer or a solution. As you can tell I'm a beginner... Hope the description is good an someone can help me or give me a hint :)
Thanks
Is there a possiblity to create a collection with agents from an Excel?
Not directly using the collection's properties and, as you've seen, you can't have database (DB) column types which are agent types.1
But this is relatively simple to do directly via Java code (and you can use the Insert Database Query wizard to construct the skeleton code for you).
After this I tried to use the same getDestination as String an so find via findFirst the WP matching the returned name and return it as WP
Yes, this is one approach. If your order details are in Excel/the database, they are presumably referring to workplaces via some String ID (which will be a parameter of the workplace agents you've created from a separate Excel worksheet/database table). You need to use the Java equals method to compare strings though, not == (which is for comparing numbers or whether two objects are the same object).
I want a moveTo block in main which finds the next destination of the agent order
So the general overall solution is
Create a population of Workplace agents (let's say called workplaces in Main) from the DB, each with a String parameter id or similar mapped from a DB column.
Create a population of Order agents (let's say called orders in Main) from the DB and then, in their on-startup action, set up their collection of workplace IDs (type ArrayList, element class String; let's say called workplaceIDsList) using data from another DB table.
Order probably also needs a working variable storing the next index in the list that it needs to go to (so let's say an int variable nextWorkplaceIndex which starts at 0).
Write a function in Main called getWorkplaceByID that has a single String argument id and returns a Workplace. This gets the workplace from the population that matches the ID; a one-line way similar to yours is findFirst(workplaces, w -> w.id.equals(id)).
The MoveTo block (which I presume is in Main) needs to move the Order to an agent defined by getWorkplaceByID(agent.workplaceIDsList.get(nextWorkplaceIndex++)). (The ++ bit increments the index after evaluating the expression so it is ready for the next workplace to go to.)
For populating the collection, you'd have two tables, something like the below (assuming using strings as IDs for workplaces and orders):
orders table: columns for parameters of your orders (including some String id column) other than the workplace-list. (Create one Order agent per row.)
order_workplaces table: columns order_id, sequence_num and workplace_id (so with multiple rows specifying the sequence of workplace IDs for an order ID).
In the On startup action of Order, set up the skeleton query code via the Insert Database Query wizard as below (where we want to loop through all rows for this order's ID and do something --- we'll change the skeleton code to add entries to the collection instead of just printing stuff via traceln like the skeleton code does).
Then we edit the skeleton code to look like the below. (Note we add an orderBy clause to the initial query so we ensure we get the rows in ascending sequence number order.)
List<Tuple> rows = selectFrom(order_workplaces)
.where(order_workplaces.order_id.eq(id))
.orderBy(order_workplaces.sequence_num.asc())
.list();
for (Tuple row : rows) {
workplaceIDsList.add(row.get(order_workplaces.workplace_id));
}
1 The AnyLogic database is a normal relational database --- HSQLDB in fact --- and databases only understand their own specific data types like VARCHAR, with AnyLogic and the libraries it uses translating these to Java types like String. In the user interface, AnyLogic makes it look like you set the column types as int, String, etc. but these are really the Java types that the columns' contents will ultimately be translated into.
AnyLogic does support columns which have option list types (and the special Code type column for columns containing executable Java code) but these are special cases using special logic under the covers to translate the column data (which is ultimately still a string of characters) into the appropriate option list instance or (for Code columns) into compiled-on-the-fly-and-then-executed Java).
Welcome to Stack Overflow :) To create a Population via Excel Import you have to create a method and call Code like this. You also need an empty Population.
int n = excelFile.getLastRowNum(YOUR_SHEET_NAME);
for(int i = FIRST_ROW; i <= n; i++){
String name = excelFile.getCellStringValue(YOUR_SHEET_NAME, i, 1);
double SEC_PARAMETER_TO_READ= excelFile.getCellNumericValue(YOUR_SHEET_NAME, i, 2);
WP workplace = add_wps(name, SEC_PARAMETER_TO_READ);
}
Now if you want to get a workplace by name, you have to create a method similar to your try.
Functionbody:
WP workplaceToFind = wps.findFirst(w -> w.name.equals(destinationName));
if(workplaceToFind != null){
//do what ever you want
}
I am trying to achieve email notification . The condition is , it should go by end of the day with the current day published content list.
For the same I have tried couple of things using Rules, but stuck in between.
Any help?
I tried using rules, and I created a rule like so:
Events:
After updating existing content of type(content type name)
Cron maintenance tasks are performed
Condition: Data to compare: [node:field-img-status], Data value: Approve
When I am trying to add second condition to check if the node is published within 24hrs, I am unable to achieve it. When I add strtotime("-1 day"), I get an error like:
Wrong date format. Specify the date in the format 2017-05-10 08:17:18.
I tried date('Y-m-d h:i:s',strtotime("-1 day")) but I did not succeed.
Now I am trying one more method to achieve it using Views Rules which is suggested in this answer to the question about 'How to create a Drupal rule to check (on cron) a date field and if passed set field "status" to "ended"?'.
Below is a blueprint of how I'd get this to work ...
Step 1: Create a single eMail for each node that was published
Create a view (using Views) of all the nodes that were published the last 24 hours. Make sure to include a column in that view for the various data you want to be included about each node in your eMail later on.
Use Rules to create a rule with a Rules Action that consists of a "Rules Loop", in which its "list items" are actually the list of nodes that you want to be included in your eMail later on. To create this Rules Loop, use the Views Rules combined with a Views display type of "Views Rules", for the view that you created. Refer to my answer to "How to pass arguments to a view from Rules?" for way more details on how to use the Views Rules module.
For each list item in the Rules Loop of the previous step, you have access to all data for each column in the View you created. By using these data you could add an additional Rules Action (within the same Rules Loop) to send an appropriate eMail about the node being processed.
Step 2: Group all eMails in a single eMail
Obviously, the previous step creates a single eMail for each node that was published in the last 24 hours. If you only have a few nodes that may not be a real issue to worry about. But if you have dozens (or more?) of such nodes then you might want to consider consolidating all such eMails in a single eMail, which contains (in its eMail body) the complete list of nodes.
A possible solution to implement such consolidation, is similar to what is shown in the Rules example included in my answer to "How to concatenate all token values of a list in a single field within a Rules loop?". In your case, you could make it work like so:
Add some new Rules variable that will be used later on as part of the eMail body, before the start of your loop. Say you name the variable nodes_list_var_for_email_body.
Within your loop, for each iteration, prepend or append the value for each "list item" to that variable nodes_list_var_for_email_body.
Move the Rules Action to send an eMail outside your loop, and after the loop completed. And finetune the details (configuration) of your (new) "send an eMail" Rules Action. When doing so, you'll be able to select the token for nodes_list_var_for_email_body to include anywhere in your eMail body.
Step 3: Schedule the daily execution of your rule
Use the Rules Once per Day to schedule the daily execution of your rule. Refer to my answer to "How to limit the execution of a rule for sending an email to only run once in a day?" for way more details about this module.
Voilà, that's it ...
This is how I would achieve this:
Make some view which would list all nodes created today.
Make some end-point (from my module, check out: https://api.drupal.org/api/drupal/modules%21system%21system.api.php/function/hook_menu/7.x)
It would call this view, and grab that node list (i.e. with views_get_view_result : https://api.drupal.org/api/views/views.module/function/views_get_view_result/7.x-3.x ), loop through the list, compose the email and send it.
Then I would set cron job to call that end-point at end of every day.
I have a student who has gathered data in a survey online whereby each response was given a variable, rather than the variable having whatever the response was. We need a scoring algorithm which reads the statements and integrates. I can do this with IF statements per item, e.g.,
if Q1_1=1 var1=1.
if Q1_2=1 var1=2.
if Q1_3=1 var1=3.
if Q1_4=1 var1=4.
Doing this for a 200 item survey (now more like 1000) will be a drag and subject to many typos unless automated. I have no experience of vectors and loops in SPSS, but some reading suggests this is the way to approach the problem.
I would like to run if statements as something like (pseudocode):
for items=1 1 to 30
for responses=1 to 4
if Q1_2_1=1 a=1.
if Q1_2=1 a=2.
if Q1_3=1 a=3.
if Q1_4=1 a=4.
compute newitem(items)=a.
next response.
next item.
Which I would hope would produce a new variable (newitem1 to 30) which has one of the 4 responses for it's original corresponding 4 variable information.
Never written serious spss code before: please advise!
This will do the Job:
* creating some sample data.
data list free (",")/Item1_1 to Item1_4 Item2_1 to Item2_4 Item3_1 to Item3_4.
begin data
1,,,,,1,,,,,1,,
,1,,,1,,,,1,,,,
,,,1,,,1,,,,,1,
end data.
* now looping over the items and constructing the "NewItems".
do repeat Item1=Item1_1 to Item1_4
/Item2=Item2_1 to Item2_4
/Item3=Item3_1 to Item3_4
/Val=1 to 4.
if Item1=1 NewItem1=Val.
if Item2=1 NewItem2=Val.
if Item3=1 NewItem3=Val.
end repeat.
execute.
In this way you run all you loops simultaneously.
Note that "ItemX_1 to ItemX_4" will only work if these four variables are consecutive in the dataset. If they aren't, you have to name each of them separately - "ItemX_1 ItemX_2 ItemX_3 itemX_4".
Now if you have many such item sets, all named regularly as in the example, the following macro can shorten the process:
define !DoItems (ItemList=!cmdend)
!do !Item !in (!ItemList)
do repeat !Item=!concat(!Item,"_1") !concat(!Item,"_2") !concat(!Item,"_3") !concat(!Item,"_4")/Val=1 2 3 4.
if !item=1 !concat("New",!Item)=Val.
end repeat.
!doend
execute.
!enddefine.
* now you just have to call the macro and list all your Item names:
!DoItems ItemList=Item1 Item2 Item3.
The macro will work with any item name, as long as the variables are named ItemName_1, ItemName_2 etc'.
I'm usually a PHP programmer, but I'm currently working on a project in MS Access 2003 and I'm a complete VBA newbie. I'm trying to do something that I could easily do in PHP but I have no idea how to do it in Access. The facts are as follows:
Tables and relevant fields:
tblItems: item_id, on_hand
tblProjects: project_id
tblProjectItems: project_id, item_id
Goal: Determine which projects I could potentially do, given the items on-hand.
I need to find a way to compare each project's required items against the items on-hand to determine if there are any items missing. If not, add the project to the list of potential projects. In PHP I would compare an array of on-hand items with an array of project items required, using the array_diff function; if no difference, add project_id to an array of potential projects.
For example, if...
$arrItemsOnHand = 1,3,4,5,6,8,10,11,15
$arrProjects[1] = 1,10
$arrProjects[2] = 8,9,12
$arrProjects[3] = 7,13
$arrProjects[4] = 1,3
$arrProjects[5] = 2,14
$arrProjects[6] = 2,5,8,10,11,15
$arrProjects[7] = 2,4,5,6,8,10,11,15
...the result should be:
$arrPotentialProjects = 1,4
Is there any way to do this in Access?
Consider a single query to reach your goal: "Determine which projects I could potentially do, given the items on-hand."
SELECT
pi.project_id,
Count(pi.item_id) AS NumberOfItems,
Sum(IIf(i.on_hand='yes', 1, 0)) AS NumberOnHand
FROM
tblProjectItems AS pi
INNER JOIN tblItems AS i
ON pi.item_id = i.item_id
GROUP BY pi.project_id
HAVING Count(pi.item_id) = Sum(IIf(i.on_hand='yes', 1, 0));
That query computes the number of required items for each project and the number of those items which are on hand.
When those two numbers don't match, that means at least one of the required items for that project is not on hand.
So the HAVING clause excludes those rows from the query result set, leaving only rows where the two numbers match --- those are the projects for which all required items are on hand.
I realize my description was not great. (Sorry.) I think it should make more sense if you run the query both with and without the HAVING clause ... and then read the description again.
Anyhow, if that query gives you what you need, I don't think you need VBA array handling for this. And if you can use that query as your form's RecordSource or as the RowSource for a list or combo box, you may not need VBA at all.
