I am fairly new to VBA in Excel and was hoping for some guidance on this problem. I am given hierarchical data from a database to perform a report, and the user would like to format the information such that an entry's children lie directly below it (a parent can have multiple children, child has only one parent). This could perhaps be done by indenting the Notes tab of the data by a few spaces. I was wondering how to first perform the reordering of the data by hierarchy, and then visually showing an indentation by adding, say, 5 spaces to the beginning of the Notes tab.
For sample data:
ID Parent ID Notes
0 NULL This is number 0.
1 0 This is number 1.
2 0 This is number 2.
3 1 This is number 3.
4 3 This is number 4.
5 0 This is number 5.
I would then like the data to be presented as such:
ID Parent ID Notes
0 NULL This is number 0.
1 0 -----This is number 1.
3 0 -----This is number 3.
4 1 ----------This is number 4.
2 3 -----This is number 2.
5 0 -----This is number 5.
Thank you so much! Your help is greatly appreciated :)

After REST calls with quite complex data structures, I was able to extract data with a row for each data element in a REST result/ E.g:

Notice that there are 8 data elements that are spread out into separate rows. I would like to condense these 8 data elements into one row each iteration in Pentaho. Is this possible? And assign field names?
Row flattener
Condense 8 data element in columns into one row. Each of these 8 data elements are repeating.
(1) Add row flattener
(2) Assign field names for the rows coming in - so you have 10 data attributes in rows specify a field name for each row.
(3) In table output use space as seperator
I am looking at an extractive text summarization problem. Eventually, I want to generate a list of words (not sentences) that seem to be the most important. One of the ideas that I had was to the words that appear early in the document more heavily.
I have two dataframes. the first is a set of words with their occurrence counts:
words.head()
words occurrences
0 '' 2
1 11-1 1
2 2nd 1
3 april 1
4 b.
And the second is a set of sentences. 0 is the first sentence in the document, 1 is the secont.. etc.
sentences.head()
sentences

I managed to accomplish my goal like this:
weights = []
for value in words.index.values:
weights.append(((len(sentences) - sentences.index.values) *
sentences['sentences'].str.contains(words['words'][value])).sum())
weights
[0,
5,
5,
0,
12,...]
words['occurrences'] *= weights
words.head()
words occurrences
0 '' 0
1 11-1 5
2 2nd 5
3 april 0
4 b. 12
However, this seems sort of sloppy. I know that I can use list comprehension (I thought it would be easier to read on here without it) - but, other than that, does anyone have thoughts on a more elegant solution to this problem?
So I have a column with this data

how can I do a count if where the value at any given location in the above table is equal to a cell i select? i.e. doing Count([NUMBER]) Where([NUMBER] = Coordinates(0,0)) would return 3, because there are 3 rows where the value is one in the 0 position.
it's basically like in excel where you can do COUNTIF(A:A, 1) and it would give you the total number of rows where the value in A:A is 1. is this possible to do in business objects web intelligence?
Functions in WebI operate on rows, so you have to think about it a little differently.
If your intent is to create a cell outside of the report block and display the count of specific values, you can use Count() with Where():
=Count([NUMBER];All) Where ([NUMBER] = "1")
In a freestanding cell, the above will produce a value of "3" for your sample data.
If you want to put the result in the same block and have it count up the occurrences of values on that row, for example:
NUMBER NUMBER Total
1 3
1 3
1 3
2 1
3 1
4 1
5 3
5 3
5 3
it gets a little more complicated. You have to have at least one other dimension in the query to reference. It can be anything, but you have to be counting something in conjunction with the NUMBER dimension. So, the following would work, assuming there's another dimension in the query named [Duh]:
=Count([NUMBER];All) ForAll([Duh])
I have two tables (sql server), as shown below:
locations
id cubicfeet order
-------------------------------------
1 5 1
2 10 1
3 6 1
items
id cubic feet order
--------------------------------------
1 6 1
2 6 1
3 6 1
I need a query to tell me if all the items will fit into all the locations (for a given order). If all items will not fit into 1 or all locations then I need to create a new location for that given order - and then move any items that DID fit into the locations before to the new location (as many as fit). The new location will only be given a certain amount of cubic feet also - say 17. In this example, sum won't work because all 3 records are 6 so the sum is 18, which is less than the sum of 5,10,6, but the location with volume 5 can't fit any of the items since they are all volume 6 cubic feet.
the only way I think I can do it is creating temp tables in my sp and using a while loop to go through them and update the locations 1 at a time to see if it still fits more...
Could you please help me to understand this problem:
Convert the input sequence of N (1 ≤ N ≤ 20) input numbers so that
the subsequences of the same numbers are replaced with the first
numbers of the subsequences. Each input number is in the range [1, 2
000 000 000].
For example, the input sequence 1 2 2 3 1 1 1 4 4 is converted into
1 2 3 1 4.
Input: First, the number T of test cases is given. Each test case is
specified using two lines. The first one contains the number N and the
second one contains the numbers of the sequence.
Output: The converted sequence. The result for each test case should
be printed in a separate line.
For example, the input sequence 1 2 2 3 1 1 1 4 4 is converted into 1 2 3 1 4.
It looks like the idea is to remove duplicate numbers that occur adjacent to each other when creating the output.
You can do that by just keeping a state variable recording what the previous value was. When you get a new value, compare it to the state value. If it's the same, skip. If different, output it and update the state variable. Remember to initialize the state variable to a value not found in the input stream (e.g. -1 should work in this case).
