Coldfusion dynamic column names to pass into a function - coldfusion

A user can supply answers for up to 5 question, and each question has 3 columns in the database:
st_m1_id
st_m1_fam
st_m1_cip
st_m2_id
st_m2_fam
st_m2_cip
etc
When the form is submitted I get the IDs into an array and then loop over that and then query a different table to look up fam and cip.
aidms = listToArray(form['idms[]']);
for( i=1;i<=arrayLen(aidms);i++ ) {
qryData = invoke(dataCFC,'queryData', { smid = aidms[i]});
temp = invoke(userCFC,'updateUser',{
userid = session.userid,
st_m#i#_id = aidms[i],
st_m#i#_fam = qryData.fam,
etc......
});
};
How do I notate the dynamic query column names in the function so that when they are passed to updateUser the correct columns are referenced?

power bi DAX hierarchical table concatenation of names

Since two days I'm on a problem and I can't solve it so I come here to ask some help...
I have that bit of dax that basically take the path of a hierarchical table (integers) and take the string names of the 2 first in the path.
the names I use:
'HIERARCHY' the hierarchical table with names, id, path, nbrItems, string
mytable / addedcolumn1/2 the new table used to emulate the for loop
DisplayPath =
var __Path =PATH(ParentChild[id], ParentChild[parent_id])
var __P1 = PATHITEM(__Path,1) var __P2 = PATHITEM(__Path,2)
var l1 = LOOKUPVALUE(ParentChild[Place],ParentChild[id],VALUE(__P1))
var l2a = LOOKUPVALUE(ParentChild[Place],ParentChild[id],VALUE(__P2))
var l2 = if(ISBLANK(l2a), "", " -> " & l2a)
return CONCATENATE(l1,l2)
My problem is... I don't know the number of indexes in my path, can go from 0 to I guess 15...
I've tried some things but can't figure out a solution.
First I added a new column called nbrItems which calculate the number of items in the list of the path.
The two columns:
Then I added that bit of code that emulates a for loop depending on the number of items in the path list, and I'd like in it to
get name of parameters
concatenate them in one string that I can return and get
string =
var n = 'HIERARCHY'[nbrItems]
var mytable = GENERATESERIES(1, n)
var addedcolumn1 = ADDCOLUMNS(mytable, "nom", /* missing part: get name */)
var addedcolumn2 = ADDCOLUMNS(addedcolumn1, "string", /* missing part: concatenate previous concatenated and new name */)
var mymax = MAXX(addedcolumn2, [Value])
RETURN MAXX(FILTER(addedcolumn2, [Value] = mymax), [string])
Full table:
Thanks for your help in advance!
Ok, so after some research and a lot of try and error... I've came up to a nice and simple solution:
The original problem was that I had a hierarchical table ,but with all data in the same table.
like so
What I did was, adding a new "parent" column with this dax:
parent =
var a = 'HIERARCHY'[id_parent]
var b = CALCULATE(MIN('HIERARCHY'[libelle]), FILTER(ALL('HIERARCHY'), 'HIERARCHY'[id_h] = a))
RETURN b
This gets the parent name from the id_parent (ref. screen).
then I could just use the path function, not on the id's but on the names... like so:
path = PATH('HIERARCHY'[libelle], 'HIERARCHY'[parent])
It made the problem easy because I didn't need to replace the id's by there names after this...
and finally to make it look nice, I used some substitution to remove the pipes:
formated_path = SUBSTITUTE('HIERARCHY'[path], "|", " -> ")
final result

How to split list of strings into two columns and append it to a spire pdf in c#

This is my list of data type string:
List<string> Questions = new List<string>();
I am appending list of static questions ,answers to the question values from model
Questions .Add("Q1? " + " : " + model.value);
Questions .Add("Q2?" + " : " + model.value);
string[][] datasource = new String[Questions .Count][];
for (int i = 0; i < Questions .Count; i++)
{
datasource[i] = Questions [i].Split(';');
}
Appending it to spire pdf table:
PdfTable table = new PdfTable();
table.DataSource = datasource;
MY output:
What type of tax return does the entity file? : 604 --In single column
Expected output:
column1 column2
What type of tax return does the entity file? 604
Kindly note that there's only one set of data in every element of the array "Questions", thus the table only has a single column. If you want the expected output of two columns, please change your code as:
string[] Questions = { "Q1?:;model.value", "Q2?:;model.value" };

Copy cell if certain condition met

I know there are already many topics like mine, but I am completely new to programming scripts and therefore I ask you to help me with following problem:
In cell B2 is the user name and in cell C2 the submitter type - if the submitter type is "Requester" then the user name of cell B2 should be copied to cell AE2 - the problem is, that I also want to keep the previous user names if the submitter type change and gets updated...
That means, first the submitter type is "Requester" then the system should copy the user name to cell AE2 - if the submitter type of my line change, then the already copied user name should not change - understood what I want? This should work for all lines of the spreadsheet...
I tried the code but got following error:
Maybe you can improve the code for me?
I changed those 2:
Before:
for (var i = 1; i <= numRows; i++) {
var userNameCell = rows.getCell(i, userNameColumn);
var subTypeCell = rows.getCell(i, subTypeColumn);
var sUserNameCell = rows.getCell(i, sUserNameColumn);
After:
for (var i = 1; i <= numRows; i++) {
var userNameCell = rows.getCell(i, userNameColumn);
var sUserNameCell = rows.getCell(i, sUserNameColumn);
var subTypeCell = rows.getCell(i, subTypeColumn);
The error now is:
new error
Or was the change wrong? Maybe you mean that:
var userNameColumn = 2; //Column where the user name is written
var subTypeColumn = 5; //Column where the submitter type is written ex. "Requester"
var sUserNameColumn = 3; //Column where the user name is saved
But then only one object (username) is known instead of 2 before - subTypeCell and sUserNameCell again undefined - that says the debugger - the code looks now like that (again with my changes, because then 2 objects instead only 1 is known):
You can do something like this:
var userNameColumn = 2; //Column where the user name is written
var subTypeColumn = 3; //Column where the submitter type is written ex. "Requester"
var sUserNameColumn = 5; //Column where the user name is saved
function saveUserName() {
var sheet = SpreadsheetApp.getActiveSpreadsheet().getSheets()[0];
var rows = sheet.getDataRange();
var numRows = rows.getNumRows();
for (var i = 1; i <= numRows; i++) {
var userNameCell = rows.getCell(i, userNameColumn);
var subTypeCell = rows.getCell(i, subTypeColumn);
var sUserNameCell = rows.getCell(i, sUserNameColumn);
if(sUserNameCell.isBlank() && subTypeCell.getValue() === 'Requester') {
sUserNameCell.setValue(userNameCell)
};
}
}
Firstly this defines the columns that you are working with, which are the "Username"(in the scriptuserNameColumn), the column with the "Submitter type"(in the scriptsubTypeColumn) and the column where the username is saved (in the scriptsUserNameColumn). Each have been assigned a number corresponding to a columns in spreadsheet, wher 2 is B, 3 is C, and so on. You can change them to your needs.
Then we create a function called saveUserName() inside this function we get the current spreadsheet, we define what range in the spreadsheet we will work with, here it is everything, then we get the number of rows that has data in them.
After that we go through the data we defined, and setup some variables we can use for each cell. Then we create our if statement, which states, if the "Saved-User-Name-Cell" is empty and the "Submitter-Type-Cell" = the word 'Requester' then we grab the "Saved-User-Name-Cell" and set it's value equal to what is within the "User-Name-Cell".
That's it!

Why does Relation.size sometimes return a Hash in Rails 4

I can run a query in two different ways to return a Relation.
When I interrogate the size of the Relation one query gives a Fixnum as expected the other gives a Hash which is a hash of each value in the Relations Group By statement with the number of occurrences of each.
In Rails 3 I assume it always returned a Fixnum as I never had a problem whereeas with Rails 4 it sometimes returns a Hash and a statement like Rel.size.zero? gives the error:
undefined method `zero?' for {}:Hash
Am I best just using the .blank? method to check for zero records to be sure of avoiding unexpected errors?
Here is a snippet of code with looging statements for the two queries and the resulting log
CODE:
assessment_responses1=AssessmentResponse.select("process").where("client_id=? and final = ?",self.id,false).group("process")
logger.info("-----------------------------------------------------------")
logger.info("assessment_responses1.class = #{assessment_responses1.class}")
logger.info("assessment_responses1.size.class = #{assessment_responses1.size.class}")
logger.info("assessment_responses1.size value = #{assessment_responses1.size}")
logger.info("............................................................")
assessment_responses2=AssessmentResponse.select("distinct process").where("client_id=? and final = ?",self.id,false)
logger.info("assessment_responses2.class = #{assessment_responses2.class}")
logger.info("assessment_responses2.size.class = #{assessment_responses2.size.class}")
logger.info("assessment_responses2.size values = #{assessment_responses2.size}")
logger.info("-----------------------------------------------------------")

CACHE (0.0ms) SELECT COUNT(distinct process) FROM `assessment_responses` WHERE `assessment_responses`.`organisation_id` = 17 AND (client_id=43932 and final = 0)
assessment_responses2.size values = 3
-----------------------------------------------------------
size on an ActiveRecord::Relation object translates to count, because the former tries to get the count of the Relation. But when you call count on a grouped Relation object, you receive a hash.
The keys of this hash are the grouped column's values; the values of this hash are the respective counts.
AssessmentResponse.group(:client_id).count # this will return a Hash
AssessmentResponse.group(:client_id).size # this will also return a Hash
This is true for the following methods: count, sum, average, maximum, and minimum.
If you want to check for rows being present or not, simply use exists? i.e. do the following:
AssessmentResponse.group(:client_id).exists?
Instead of this:
AssessmentResponse.group(:client_id).count.zero?

Database table not being updated

I have been struggling with this piece of code. Everything is being updated except my items table in the database. Need the sales part to be plus 1 each time someone makes a purchase.
$setQuery = '';
if($extended) {
$setQuery = " `status` = 'extended_buy', ";
}
$mysql->query("
UPDATE `items`
SET `sales` = `sales` + 1,
$setQuery
`earning` = `earning` + '".sql_quote($price)."'
WHERE `id` = '".intval($item['id'])."'
");
return true;
}
You will need to use Subquery for the same
It would be somewhat like this
SET sales = (From items where WHERE id = '".intval($item['id']) + 1,
You will need to pull its value and then Add it.
In other case you can pick it in variable and update it.
