I often encounter the misaligned dots whenever I list the items in xaringan slides for some reason. I think I ensure that there's no extra or unnecessary space between the codes or items. I just want to know what kind of mistakes I usually make in this case. FYI, there is only a single space between # Consistency and #### and #### is for larger fontsize. I know - is a simple way to list but this size is sometimes smaller for my need.

I'm running into an issue when trying to compare data across two sheets to find discrepancies - specifically when it comes to comparing start and end times.
Right now, the "IF" statement in my screenshot is executing perfectly, except when a time is involved - it's reading those cells as decimals instead (but only sometimes).
I've tried formatting these cells (on the raw data AND on this "Discrepancies" report sheet) so that they are displayed as a "HH:MM am/pm" time, but the sheet is still comparing the decimal values.
Is there anything that I can add to this function to account for a compared value being a time instead of text, and having that text be compared for any discrepancies? I cannot add or change anything to the raw data sheets, the only thing I can edit is the formula seen in the screenshot I provided.
See the highlighted cells in my screenshot - this is the issue I keep running into. As you can see, there are SOME cells (the non-highlighted ones) that are executing as intended, but I'm unsure why this isn't the case for the whole spreadsheet when I've formatted everything the same way using the exact same formula across the whole sheet.
For example, the values in cell N2 is "8:00 AM" on both sheets, so the formula should just display "8:00 AM" in that cell (and NOT be highlighted) since there is no discrepancy in the cells between both sheets it's comparing. But instead, it's showing both times as a decimal with the slightest difference between them and is suggesting a difference where there technically isn't (or shouldn't be) one.
Please help!

---EDIT (added the below):
Here is a view-only version of a SAMPLE SHEET that displays the issue I'm having:
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1BdSQGsCajB3kOnYxzM3sl-0o3iTvR3ABdHpnzYRXjpA/edit?usp=sharing
On the sample sheet, the only cells that are performing as intended are C2, E2, G2, I2, K2, K6, or any cells that contain text like "Closed". Any of the other cells that have a time in both raw data tabs appears to be pulling the serial numbers for those times instead of correctly formatting it into "HH:mm AM/PM".
A quick tour of how the SAMPLE SHEET is set up:
User enters raw data into the "MicrositeRawData" and "SalesforceRawData" tabs.
Data is pulled from the "SalesforceRawData" tab into the "CleanedUpSalesforceData" tab using a QUERY that matches the UNIQUE ID's from the "MicrositeRawData" sheet, so that it essentially creates a tab that's in the same order and accounts for any extraneous data between the tabs (keep in mind this is a sample sheet and that the original sheet I'm using includes a lot more data which causes a mismatch of rows between the sheets which makes the QUERY necessary).
The "DISCREPANCIES" tab then compares the data between the "MicrositeRawData" and "CleanedUpSalesforceData" tabs. If the data is the same, it simply copies the data from the "MicrositeRawData" cell. But if the data is NOT the same, it lists the values from both sheets and is conditionally formatted to highlight those cells in yellow.
If there is data on the "MicrositeRawData" tab that is NOT included on the "SalesforceRawData" tab, the "DISCREPANCIES" tab will notate that and highlight the "A" cell in pink instead of yellow (as demonstrated in "A5").
try in B2:
=IF(MicrositeRawData!B2=CleanedUpSalesforceData!B2, MicrositeRawData!B2,
"MICROSITE: "&TEXT(MicrositeRawData!B2, "h:mm AM/PM")&CHAR(10)&
"SALESFORCE: "&TEXT(CleanedUpSalesforceData!B2, "h:mm AM/PM"))
update
delete all formulae from range B2:O10 and use this in B2:
=ARRAYFORMULA(IF(TO_TEXT(MicrositeRawData!B2:O10)=
TO_TEXT(CleanedUpSalesforceData!B2:O10), MicrositeRawData!B2:O10,
"MICROSITE: "&TEXT(IF(MicrositeRawData!B2:O10="",
"", MicrositeRawData!B2:O10), "h:mm AM/PM")&CHAR(10)&
"SALESFORCE: "&TEXT(IF(CleanedUpSalesforceData!B2:O10="",
"", CleanedUpSalesforceData!B2:O10), "h:mm AM/PM")))
I tried using Cell->Copy() and Cell->Paste() methods, but this also modifies the clipboard. Is there any other method to shift the whole content of one cell to another?
I have tried setting the Cell->Range->Text but that excludes the other objects like images.
Here's some C# code that demonstrates how to use the object model to transfer formatted content between table cells within a Word application instance (same document or different documents), not using the Clipboard.
This uses Range objects for both source and target cell. When a Cell.Range is assigned to an object variable it will contain the entire cell - this includes the end-of-cell character(s) ANSI 13 + ANSI 7 that store the cell structures. In order to copy only the content, without the cell structures, these characters need to be trimmed from the Range. Depending on how the object model is used, one or two characters need to be trimmed.
Trimming is done for a Range by reducing the scope of the Range (think of it like holding the Shift key while pressing right-arrow for a selection) - here for the source Range using the method MoveEnd. In my tests for this code sample trimming one character worked, but you'll want to test it.
For the target Range the code sample uses the Collapse method to put the focus at the start of the target cell (think of it like pressing the Left-arrow key to collapse a selection to a blinking insertion point at the beginning of the selection).
Then it's simply a matter of setting the FormattedText property of the target Range to the FormattedText property of the source Range.
Word.Table tbl = doc.Tables[1];
Word.Range rngCellSource = tbl.Cell(1, 1).Range;
Word.Range rngCellTarget = tbl.Cell(2, 1).Range;
rngCellSource.MoveEnd(Word.WdUnits.wdCharacter, -1);
//System.Diagnostics.Debug.Print(rngCellSource.Text);
rngCellTarget.Collapse(Word.WdCollapseDirection.wdCollapseStart);
rngCellTarget.FormattedText = rngCellSource.FormattedText;
I can't see one in the documentation.
The whole notion of "shifting" data is necessarily cutting it from where it is, and pasting it someplace else.
I'd question why you are afraid of touching the clipboard. This is its purpose.
I am trying to solve a problem: run a statistic (count; sum; mean) over an irregular time series data set, where the window-size for each line is within a given date range (preferably over a grouping column).
I have found that ORACLE SQL supports this through:
COUNT(*) OVER (
ORDER BY payment_date
RANGE BETWEEN INTERVAL '1' HOUR PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW
)
And in R I have built functions that use lists to collect vectors of values for each row, but this is expensive and slow. The best solution I have found is by user: mgahan is his package boRingTrees:
R: fast sliding window with given coordinates
library("devtools")
install_github("boRingTrees","mgahan")
library("boRingTrees")
set.seed(1)
Trans_Dates <- as.Date(c(31,33,65,96,150,187,210,212,240,273,293,320,
32,34,66,97,151,188,211,213,241,274,294,321,
33,35,67,98,152,189,212,214,242,275,295,322),origin="2010-01-01")
Cust_ID <- c(rep(1,12),rep(2,12),rep(3,12))
Target <- rpois(36,3)
require("data.table")
data <- data.table(Trans_Dates,Cust_ID,Target)
data[,Roll:=rollingByCalcs(data=data,bylist="Cust_ID",dates="Trans_Dates",
target="Target",lower=0,upper=31,incbounds=T,stat=sum,na.rm=T,cores=1)]
However, when I run this against larger data sets, it also runs quite slowly.
What I have tried:
To use lists in loops to return window partitions, but this is very slow.
Importing user's functions, such as boRingTrees, which encapsulate
the problem well - but are also slow.
What I have learnt:
There is good support in R for physical partitions (up one row, group into days/weeks, etc) through zoo and rollapply, but limited support for Ranged partitions (all lines within this number of hours from a timestamp).
What I think I need:
I have come to the conclusion that I need a C function to more speedily run a sliding window over a range of dates. I have started playing with C++ in R, and these two Rcpp efforts come close (in technique) to what I think I need:
R: Rolling window function with adjustable window and step-size for irregularly spaced observations
R: fast sliding window with given coordinates
I hope this summary is useful collation of information for people trying to solve similar problems (I found searching on this topic difficult - sparse information and very different ways to describe similar things). Hopefully someone can assist me in building a faster C++ solution I can run in R (inline or .cpp). Here is a sample data set (again, courtesy of mgahan):
Trans_Dates <- as.Date(c(31,33,65,96,150,187,210,212,240,273,293,320,
32,34,66,97,151,188,211,213,241,274,294,321,
33,35,67,98,152,189,212,214,242,275,295,322),origin="2010-01-01")
Cust_ID <- c(rep(1,12),rep(2,12),rep(3,12))
Val <- rpois(36,3)
require("data.table")
data <- data.table(Trans_Dates,Cust_ID,Val)
e.g:
data[,RowRollCount31:=rollingByCalcs(data=data,bylist="Cust_ID",dates="Trans_Dates", target="Val",lower=0,upper=31,incbounds=T,stat=length,na.rm=T)]
Ideally, the solution would use the 'interval' option as in the Oracle example (i.e windows within 'x' & 'hours' of each row), and also the 'group by'/'by_list' and 'stat' options that mgahan cleverly catered for.

Many thanks in advance!
I have a list that should display 7 items that each look like this:
Date Weekday Distance Time
Long text that may span many lines
two column text Distance Time
two column text Distance Time
two column text Distance Time
The last lines repeat in a number depending on the data, i e there may be different amounts of such lines for each list item.
I have tried implementing this with a ListCellRenderer that creates a table according to the requirements above, but I have a few problems with it:
The long text that may span many lines is implemented in a SpanLabel. But this text will not display more than one line anyway
Each item in the list will get space for the same number of lines below the first two..
So it seems that items in a list must be of the same size.
Later I also want to be able to detect selection on the entire list item, not just individual fields of it.
Is there a better way to do this?
How do I ensure that the SpanLabel actually gets as much space as it needs?
How do I ensure that the unknown number of lines gets the space they need, depending on how many they are?
Don't use a list: https://www.codenameone.com/blog/deeper-in-the-renderer.html
Lists in Codename One assume every entry is exactly the same height and provide no flexibility here.
I suggest doing something like the property cross demo: https://www.udemy.com/learn-mobile-programming-by-example-with-codename-one/
Where we use a Container with components within to provide a list like behavior with the full flexibility that arbitrary components allow.
