I have a bar chart where I need to do conditional formatting for the colours of the axis label names. eg. If Axis.Labels.Names from Table_1 = Axis.Labels.Names from Table_2 then Label text colour = Green or else Red.
Table_1
|Customer | Value |
|---------|-------
|ABCD | 100 |
|EFGH | 150 |
|IJKL | 200 |
|MNOP | 250 |
|QRST | 300 |
|UVWX | 350 |
Table_2.
|Customer | Value |
|---------|-------|
|ABCD | 500 |
|QRST | 550 |
|IJKL | 750 |
If I plot Table_1. Then I want to get the colour of ABCD,QRST,IJKL text of the Axis Labels as Green, as those labels are also present in table_2. For EFGH,MNOP,UVWX I want the axis label text colour to be Red (as those labels are not in table_1). How can I do that in Spotfire?
Goal: Use SUMIFS to get the sum of value if color is Red or Yellow. Outcome should be 3.
+---+--------+-------+---+-----------+
| | A | B | C | D |
+---+--------+-------+---+-----------+
| 1 | Key | Value | | Condition |
| 2 | Red | 1 | | Red |
| 3 | Yellow | 2 | | Yellow |
| 4 | Green | 3 | | |
+---+--------+-------+---+-----------+
Problem:
It works if I hardcode the condition {"Red","Yellow"}. The result is 3.
=SUM(SUMIFS(B2:B4, A2:A4, {"Red","Yellow"}))
But if I reference the condition by cell D2:D3, I get 0.
=SUM(SUMIFS(B2:B4, A2:A4, D2:D3))
Question: How do I reference the condition dynamically by cell and make it work?
Use SUMPRODUCT() instead of SUM():
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS(B2:B4,A2:A4,D2:D3))
One note:
This variation allows the expansion of the lists without the need to reapply the ranges:
=SUMPRODUCT(SUMIFS(B:B,A:A,D2:INDEX(D:D,MATCH("zzz",D:D))))
Alternatively, you can use SUMIF() together:
=SUMIF(A2:A4,"Red",B2:B4)+SUMIF(A2:A4,"Yellow",B2:B4)
Or make sure you're using CTRL+SHIFT+ENTER with your current formula attempt.
I've looked around for quite a while to try and find the answer to my specific issue but I'm not having any luck.
I'm using the following code to export to an XML Path:
SELECT
productid, title,
(SELECT colors + ' '
FROM dbo.productdetails
WHERE (active = 1)
AND (productid = j.productid)
GROUP BY colors
FOR XML PATH('')) AS 'color_tags'
FROM
dbo.jewelry AS j
I have a group by applied and it's working but it's viewing things like "black blue" and "black green" as entire values so basically I'm getting duplicate words when it outputs the XML. I've also tried DISTINCT but it does the exact same thing.
I have some data stored in a table like this:
+-----------+-------------+
| productid | color_tags |
+-----------+-------------+
| 1 | black |
| 1 | black blue |
| 1 | black green |
| 1 | blue green |
| 1 | black |
+-----------+-------------+
The data I want to have on a single line is like this (basically no duplicate values):
black, blue, green
But what I'm getting is this:
black, black blue, black green, blue green
Any help would be appreciated, thank you!
I'm working through an Excel exercise in which I need to SUMPRODUCT two tables of related values. Unfortunately, I can't be sure the tables will always be ordered identically.
To get around this, I have looked up their values into a new third table; this works, however I'm now looking for a way to do it in one cell.
My code is currently
SUMPRODUCT(Resources_Used18[In House],OFFSET(Rate_comparison[Role],MATCH(Resources_Used18[Role],Rate_comparison[Role],0)-1,1))
For some reason however this doesn't seem to work and only ever returns zeros. The OFFSET(,MATCH()) is meant to reconstruct the second data array, this appears to work and when I test it with F9 it produces the array I'm expecting.
Additionally when I manually enter the array, it provides the correct answer.
So I think the error must be with SUMPRODUCT failing to recognise it as an array.
Where is the error and how can I correct my formula? Thanks for your help.
EDIT: Actually I need to correct myself, OFFSET produce the correct array when run in a cell of its however after I run the cell if I don't ctrl-shift-enter then produces an array of errors.
EDIT:EDIT: An example of the sort of data I'm looking is this,
Rate_comparison
| Role | Rate |
|------|------|
| 1 | 50 |
| 2 | 100 |
| 3 | 150 |
| 4 | 200 |
| 5 | 250 |
| 6 | 300 |
| 7 | 350 |
| 8 | 400 |
| 9 | 450 |
And
Resources_Used18
| Role | In house |
|------|----------|
| 9 | 23 |
| 8 | 24 |
| 4 | 25 |
| 3 | 26 |
| 1 | 27 |
| 7 | 28 |
| 6 | 29 |
| 5 | 30 |
| 2 | 31 |
I have seen this issue before, and cannot explain it. However, if you enclose the OFFSET function inside the N function, the actual values will be returned.
I did not check to see if the result (59,300) is correct however.
=SUMPRODUCT(Resources_Used18[ [ In house ] ],N(OFFSET(Rate_Comparison[ [ Role ] ],MATCH(Resources_Used18[ [ Role ] ],Rate_Comparison[ [ Role ] ],0)-1,1)))
According to Tushar Metar, The OFFSET function, when used with an array as the 2nd or 3rd argument, returns an undocumented data structure that is understood only by Excel. The N function converts the data from the internal structure into one that can be displayed or used for further analysis. Laurent Longre deserves the credit for discovering this capability of the N function.
Just skip to the answer at the answer section, the question part has speculations and mistakes. The answer is based on experiment and it is accurate.
For a long time I have used a single png packed 256px ico file for my Visual Studio projects, and it worked well, cause scaling works fine on those icons and they take almost no space, and I did not care that much before.
But now I have an icon that needs to "retain hard edges", it is "pixel art".
If I build with a 256px version downscales terribly or if I build with 16px upscales slightly less terribly but not good enough. So my questions are:
What are the sizes I have to generate to merge into the ico (I don't care about pre win7 icons)?
If I got that list, do I have to generate 1.25x, 1.5x and 2.0x versions for high dpi settings?
Finally, some apps like firefox has a large icon on start menu inside the medium square block, my apps have a smaller one in the center like Visual Studio does, how can I put a large icon in the start menu medium sized square?
I did found it: Unfortunately VS says: VisualElements is not supported in a Windows Presentation Foundation (WPF) project. Is there a way around this?
I looked around and collected possible sizes #1x(96DPI):
16, 20, 24, 30, 32, 40, 48, 50, 64, 128, 150, 256, 512, 768
Mostly I collected these from Which icon sizes should my Windows application's icon include?.
Not that bad, but if I add 1.25x, 1.5x, 2.0x then we get:
16, 20, 24, 25, 30, 32, 36, 38, 40, 45, 48, 50, 60, 62, 64, 72, 75, 80, 96, 100, 128, 150, 160, 188, 192, 225, 256, 300, 320, 384, 512, 640, 768, 960, 1024, 1152, 1536 In my case it makes a 500k ico file and as it seems the 1024 is the max resolution you can put into an ico file, my icon is pixelated so compresses really well with png and still ~500k.
I also made an ico has all of the above resolutions in rgba, and every one has its size on it, so you can see which windows loads on which dpi setting. you can download it from here and use it in a vs project to test.
As I understand everything under 256px can't be png compressed, is this right?
And do I need all these sizes to retain a pixel perfect icon? Are only 32bit(RGBA) pngs okay? I hope I don't need to include other depths.
After i wrote an ico writer from the spec I realized that pngs can have 0 for resolution cause 1 byte is available for x or y(but i have never seen an ico that is non square, maybe curs can be non square), in this case probably the first one in the file with zeros for resolution going to be used...This is not sure but I think its not far from the truth. See images. Rescaling issues are still confusing me, if I'll have some time tomorrow I'll test it. A pixel perfect icon seems to be imposible to do: having one image to rescale to anything above 256px.
The answers:
Are PNGs are acceptable under 256px inside ICO file?
Microsoft states that the sizes under 256px should be a BMP without the first 14 bytes.
But at least in the case of windows 10, the answer is YES.
Can you add larger than 1024px image into the ICO?
YES. As long as it is a PNG it can be as big as you want.
Note the "one icon over 255px" limitation:
You can only add one image larger than 255px ( you can add more but windows will only read the first image block in the ICO head where the resolution is 0,0). The format specifies 1 byte for each dimension. See table #2.
What sizes to include for all DPI setting?
Windows 10 uses the following icon sizes (see table below):
16, 20, 24, 28, 30, 31, 32, 40, 42, 47, 48, 56, 60, 63, 84 and one larger than 255px.
Note that Windows RT apps do not use ICO files, they use PNGs or Fonts, this is from Firefox's source:
<Application xmlns:xsi='http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance'>
<VisualElements
ShowNameOnSquare150x150Logo='on'
Square150x150Logo='browser\VisualElements\VisualElements_150.png'
Square70x70Logo='browser\VisualElements\VisualElements_70.png'
ForegroundText='light'
BackgroundColor='#0996f8'/>
</Application>
So how Firefox has a large icon on start menu in the medium tile?
Well its include this above file in the exe directory before the shortcut added to start menu, this article explains it how. My app has an example.
If you make icons for Windows 10 you are better off with my tool and photoshop (or something like that) than anything else, I tried editors and they suck.
win10iconTools by me
You can create ICO files (as MS recommendation or not) or create icons with resolution printed on them, the latter is what I used to make the table.
Supports multiple resize modes including nearest neighbor.
If you want to you can use it on other windows versions, it works with .net2, test another windows, send me the results and I extend the table for the good of mankind.
As for pixel art in icons it is not possible to be perfect :(, unless we can change the scaling algorithm in windows 10.
So a wide range 84-256 gets the scaled to "0" (see above), so there is no real point adding something bigger that 256 as I see it now you should create a 256px image for "0".
(See table why)
If Windows gets all icons 16 to 255 + the 1 larger than 255 (0 in the table) chooses these sizes:
(so no markdown tables here?, its kind of wide, the tables are in the app readme also)

The icons you see in Windows 10 are packed into a icon font named Segoe MDL2 Assets & all built-in UWP apps like Groove Music are using this font for icons. Also some apps in the Windows store using it.
