How do I move a row of a table in DOORS? - row

Problem
I have data in one row of a DOORs table that I need to move to another location in a table. I know of shift-clicking, but all this does is move the whole table:
You can copy or move tables within a module or between modules using drag-and-drop. To copy or move a table using drag-and-drop, click any cell in the table. The whole table is moved when you drag-and-drop the table cell.
Question
Other than the following 2 methods:
Copy-pasting the data between the row I want to move from and the row I want to move to.
Undoing my actions and recreating the row where I want it.
Is there a way in DOORs to move a row to a different location in the same table of origin?

I'm going to say 'no'.
Without the ability to run a DXL script, I don't think there is a way in DOORS to do what you are asking.
Sorry.

Power Bi dealing with repeated instruments from REDCap

I have data like this:
It comes from REDCap, and as you may be able to tell, the data in the far right columns are repeated variables about each "protocol_title" (the far left column). I.e. "Love it" and "I want a disc instead" are both about "study 2"
I've imported the data into Power Bi and currently I have this:
What I'd like is for the top left visual to only have one row per study (with columns such as principal investigator and method of image transfer, i.e. columns that had data in the first row) and a visual on the lower left with all the right-most columns.
By switching the top visual from a table to a matrix I can kinda accomplish this:
But it adds a bunch of unnecessary columns. As an alternative I thought I could add a filter to the top visual that would filter to "redcap_event_name"=="protocol_information" which would only be those top rows.... but given the visuals are linked, if I do that it removes everything from the bottom visual. I'd like to keep the link between the visuals so that if I select "study2" in the top visual, it'll highlight relevant study 2 information in the bottom one.
So my question is: what's the best approach for making the visuals I want? Are there special settings for visuals? Do I need to do something to the data first in the query? How should I go about this?
You might want to rework you data structure. At first glance, your flat source table could be parsed into two tables :
Protocol
Survey
This can be done in PowerQuery.
For Protocol :
Select columns A to R.
Filter on redcap_event (?) starts by "protocol_info"
Delete empty rows
For Survey
Select columns A (to keep the protocol ID and be able to link both tables), T and U.
Filter on redcap_event (?) starts by "survey"
Delete empty rows.
You should end up with the two table with a one-to-many relationship between Protocol[Protocol_ID] (column A) and Survey[Protocol_ID] (same)
And it should make everything much easier: visuals, calculations...

Power BI - Copying data to new column before refreshing data

This is what I hope to be a very simple issue, I'm just having a hard time putting the right search terms together in order to find the answer.
Basically, I want to preserve the data from the last refresh before the data is refreshed again, in order to compare the difference.
Example:
I have a basic web scrape that runs off and grabs the latest stock price for Microsoft:
What I want to be able to do during the refresh is to first copy the current value (283.85) to a new column and then refresh the data, so that I have a side by side current and previous price.
Really tried to find an answer, but I don't think I'm using the correct terminology.
I have never used this method. Would it be easier to add a date column to your current table and make it your record table? That way you can do a comparison and visuals from your data.
If you really want separate tables you could update your table with the date column and then write a table query to get your latest stock price according to date

Auto move table to hidden table

I have two tables in my PDF (situated just above and bottom of each other). Only one table will be shown depending on another checkbox.
Currently I'm facing issue when the first table has its presence set to invisible, there will be a huge blank space then only the second table shown. I want to achieve the effect where the second table will replace the blank space of first table where first table being hidden.
I have tried setting the Content attribute of the tables and subform wrapping the tables to "Flowed" but it doesn't work.
I have solved my question by a "move around" way.
I merged the two tables' rows into one tables then hide show the rows instead which makes it looks like only one table is shown at one time while will not having blank space if the first table is hidden.
Though I still believe that there should be method to have two actual tables at the same time while not having blank space if first table is hidden. I will remain this question open for another week in case a real answer is posted else I will accept this answer.

Toad for Oracle - Copy Column from Columns Tab without all details

An arbitrary behavior in Toad that annoys me when composing my queries.
It is not a problem really, rather than an annoying issue.
If you describe any table in toad, or clicked on the table name from the Schema Browser, in Columns tab, copy and paste a column
Sometimes you get the column name only, and sometimes you get the column name with the details of the column {name length data type...etc}
When does toad coy the column name alone, and when does it copy the entire column description?
I searched many SO questions for something related, and google trying to understand how to copy only column name, but I didn'y find any reference at all related tho this.
While in Schema Browser,
select any table and
navigate to "Columns" tab (that's what you're doing anyway).
Right-click, a menu should open.
It contains the Row select item. If it is checked, when copy/pasting a column, you'll actually copy the whole row.
Therefore, uncheck it.
Make sure you click on a column name when copy/pasting it; otherwise, you'll copy a column value you clicked on (such as Data Type or Null).

How to add rows that include formula in spreadsheet?

I am working with a spreadsheet in OpenOffice. This spreadsheet already has the
formulas for each row. I need to add additional rows to this spreadsheet, but don't
know how to do so in order that it copys the formula but applies it to that row.
For example, each row has 8 columns (A-H), and there are formulas in D,F,G,and H. The formulas apply to each row, for example the last row on the sheet is the 6th row, so the formulas read like: =+B6*C6, =+E6*B6, etc.
Lets say I need to add a 7th row that utilizes the same formulas, but don't want to have to manually enter it for each new row so that it applies (for example: =+B7*C7, etc) How would I accomplish this?
Normal copy and paste will do that. That's the beauty of a spreadsheet. Although the formula looks like it says "B6" it is actually stored internally as something like "three cells to the left" so when you copy it to the row below, it is still "three cells to the left" only it appears as B7.
You can also select (click) the cell with the formula, then drag the little black square in the bottom right hand corner of your selection, down to repeat however many times you need it to.
I found a way.
Select the entire row (clicking on the row number), hold Ctrl+Alt and drag the row to the line below. It will copy+insert the row.
You can also copy the entire row and "paste special" (Ctrl+Shift+V) selecting the option to shift the cells down
I just didn't find a way to insert many rows at once with the data.
(I now it´s an old post, but it´s to help people looking on Google)
Excel tables auto fill formulas as new rows are added.
As easy as it sounds to copy/fill formulas down, it is usually beyond a users ability to either comprehend or remember to do the fill. OpenOffice/libre office, etc., needs to be able to do so.
Although new rows with copied formulas can be inserted anywhere for any reason, these instructions assume that you have spreadsheet with many data rows. And above is/are header rows. And below is/are total rows. And it is your desire to add a row to the bottom of the data rows (immediately above the total rows) and that the data rows contain formulas you would like to copy. And the new data row is to applied to the total below.
The first time you do it... not so easy... After that... two clicks...
Select the row with the formulas by clicking the row number (the last data row).
Copy the row (Ctrl+C).
Press the down arrow (now on footer row possibly containing summation formulas).
Begin a special paste operation (Ctrl+Shift+V).
Change the "selection" check marks so that only "Formulas" is selected.
Chose "Down" in "Shift Cells".
Hit "OK" (or press Return) to inset the row.
Edit the summation formula (F2) and make sure the summation range is still correct. If it is not, then you can manually fix the range, but you really need to change the following LibreOffice setting:
Choose menu option "Tools" (Alt-T).
Choose "Options" (O) in the "Tools" menu.
Expand "LibreOffice Calc" (Hit the disclosure triangle there).
Select "General" in the "LibreOffice Calc" expansion list.
Put a checkmark in (click) the "Expand references when new columns/rows are inserted"
Now that you have the row in the copy buffer and proper setup is complete, you only need to be on the first footer row, press Ctrl+Shift+V and hit Return.
