Revision conversion to a number suggestions ?
I have a problem with Revisioning conversions. I wonder if any one has any ideas on how to do this better. One of the elements in my database is drawing numbers and their Revision letter. ie drawing GA123 Revision A . the next drawing would be GA123 B and so on. My problem is when the drawing rolls all the way to GA123 AA or Even 3 Letters in the revision ie Rev ABZ. Currently i take the asc value of each letter and add them togeter to get a number representing the revision. example Rev AB would be 65+66 = 131 so when i compair drawings to see if a new one exists i can just look at the number instead of trying to compair the string letters of the revision. the problem is its breaking now with this asc to number conversion. for example AY is 65+89=154 and Bk is 66+75=141 Bk is newier but its asc total value is less than the old AY rev. thanks

Jon - I could see where revision AK has the same value as revision KA, etc. Why aren't you just using revision numbers instead, like revision 1, revision 2, etc.? Life would be simple. If the user's require the A, B, C schema, then you could always have a lookup table for values as high as you want to go (e.g. 1 = A, 2 = B, 27 = AA, etc.). Store the numeric revision in the database, and display the alpha value to the users when needed. In a more general light, as far as conversions go, to prevent the problem you are having, you need to decide the max number of values per position, and design a conversion scheme around that. If you are using only upper-case alpha characters (or all alphas without case sensitivity), then you can have up to 26 values in each position. If you use alpha-numerics and are case sensitive, then you could have up to 62 values in each position. If you want this to be converted to a numeric value, then each position must allow for all values. Since we are normally decimal-minded, you could assign the right-most values to be 1-99, which would cover all the examples in this paragraph. The next value would need to start after 99, so you could multiply the value of these by 100. For example: A=1 B=2 .... Z=26 AA = 1*100 + 1 = 101 AB = 1*100 + 2 = 102 AZ = 1*100 + 26 = 126 BA = 2*100 + 1 = 201 BB = 2*100 + 2 = 202 .... This way, each character value provides a unique numeric value, even though not all numeric values will be used. The third character from the right would then need to be multiplied by 10000 to ensure unique values, etc. -- Daryl S "Jon" wrote: > I have a problem with Revisioning conversions.

Thanks for the reply Daryl, why would the 3rd character be multiplyed by 10,000 ? it looks like adding a zero to each letter place holder might work "Daryl S" wrote: > Jon - > > I could see where revision AK has the same value as revision KA, etc. > > Why aren't you just using revision numbers instead, like revision 1, > revision 2, etc.?

Jon - It will depend on how many combinations you can have in each position. If it is 10 or less (assuming 00 is for no value), then one digit per position will work. If it is 100 or less, (as in my example), then you need two digits per position. So the first position (e.g. first character of the string) would convert to two positions (00 to 99), the second position would take the next two digits (0000 to 9900), the third position would take the next two digits (000000 to 990000). You sum the values of the three converted numbers to get your unique value. ABA converts to 010201 because the first position (left-most) A converts to 01, the second position B converts to 0200, and the third postition A converts to 010000. Add these together to get 010201. If you only add one digit per letter, then what happens when you get to J or K or Z? Your results will no longer be unique. If you multiplied each successive converted value by only 10, then how would you know what 234 was? It could be UX (210 + 24) or WD (230 + 4) or BCD (200 + 30 + 4)? -- Daryl S "Jon" wrote: > Thanks for the reply Daryl, > why would the 3rd character be multiplyed by 10,000 ? > > it looks like adding a zero to each letter place holder might work > > > > > "Daryl S" wrote: > > > Jon - > > > > I could see where revision AK has the same value as revision KA, etc. > > > > Why aren't you just using revision numbers instead, like revision 1, > > revision 2, etc.?

Conditional Number Formats
I would like to change the number of decimals shown for each number in a row of 50 columns based upon its value. For example, if the number is >100 then no decimals; if between 100 and 10 then 1 decimal place; and if <10 then 2 decimal places. I thought I could use conditional formatting, but it appears that technique only allows one to change fonts and backgrounds, not the formats of the numbers themselves. Is there any work-around or other tool I can try? Thanks in advance. You could try the conditional formatting addin at http://xldynamic.com/source/xld.CFPlus.Download.h...
numbering items in a cell
Hi, Is it possible to number items in a cell? This number should automatically increment when I enter a new item at the end of the cell as in microsoft word. Thanks! >Is it possible to number items in a cell? If there's some kind of unique delimiter that separates the items then you can count the delimiters and add 1.

How do I increase numbers by 10%, 15% and 20%?
This is probably very simple, but I am trying to write a formula to increase a number by 10%, 15% and 20%. For example, increasing 50000 by 10% with a result of 55000, by 15% = 57500 and 20% = 60000. With 10% in B1, 15% in C1 and 20% in D1 Enter your value 50,000 in A2 In cell B2 =$A2*(1+B$1) copy across through C2:D2 copy B2:D2 down as far as you wish Now any values entered in column A will show the corresponding uplifts under the various % headings -- Regards Roger Govier "RMPHELP" <RMPHELP@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B1001063-AE5E-4E82-A189-3781...

how to make windiff pass the current line number to an editor?
Hi, I am sorry to post a windiff question in this group. I failed to find a group related to windiff and figured out you might know the answer from your daily work experience.

Word 2007 show combined revisions in one document
I combined several sets of revisions in one document and noticed a peculiarity: when a word was replaced without deleting the space after the word and inserting a new space, the deleted word would show up twice in the combined-revisions document -- once before the inserted word and once after. So it looked like this: (replacing "dogs" with "cats" -- I'm USING caps to show the deleted word) I like DOGScatsDOGS. Where the space had been left in, it looked correct: I like DOGS cats. There was no problem in this respect with the individual redlined do...
Add Phone Numbers to Contacts
I have a Palm TX, I do not use iTouch any more as I also have an iPod iTouch. Transferring my email contact5s to the pod was a simple sync. The problem is that outlook contacts did not contain any telephone numbers. I have those numbers in a contact file on my Palm which I can also export as vcard. Is there a way to get these addresses and phone numbers in to Outlook so I can then sync with the iTouch? ...

Bills>Estimate amount based on last X number of instances
Can someone tell me what history of instances the X refers to? The last X paid to the exact same payee? Or the last X paid with the exact same scheduled bill? I set up my credit card payment as scheduled, estimated over last 12. When I first schedule it, I have to value it manually. It does not update automatically. Later, and I'm not sure if it's the first startup of the day, or the first online update of the date, Money changes the amount to $0. The history paid to that payee is definitely not $0, but the history as paid with that bill may be, because I just rebuilt the file ...
Counting the number of times a word appears 'anywhere' on a page
I'm trying to clean up a rather large file. The first field of each row is the name of the row, and if this name does not appear anywhere else in the file, or in any of three other files, the row can be eliminated. If it appears 5 times or more, it should be marked as such. So I'm looking for a way to search for the contents of the first row in the entire page and three other pages (minus the field containing the name I'm searching for in the first place) and return the number of hits. I'm sure there is an easy way to do this, but I haven't managed to figure it out yet an...

Auto
I have been working with a customer who was required to migrate from Lawson software. They were used to Lawson automatically generating batch numbers for them in Payables and Receivables and I think General Ledger as well. They think it is odd that GP doesn't create batches automatically. My basic question is anyone aware of a valid tested third party solution that would autocreate batches for at minimum Payables and Receivables? Thanks much - Adam, Its very easy to be customized, we already customized such solution for one of our customers to automatically generate batchs base...

how can I reduce number of pages in a banner
I make banners quite often for school but I do not know how I can use less pages than the one on the banner template sometimes for instance I only want a small banner covering 2 or 3 pages can anyone help explain how I can do this thanks What version Publisher are you using? If you are using 2007, File, Page Setup, Advanced. You will want to type in numbers that will not exceed the height of your stock. For example type 24" x 8.5, in print preview this will produce 3 pages. -- Mary Sauer http://msauer.mvps.org/ "corby585" <corby585@discussions.microsof...
converting "text" numbers to numbers
I have been using the technique of multiplying cells that have number entries that behave like text entries by the value of 1 to convert them to numbers. However, some mixed cell entries, convert strangely. For example the entry "6 A" (without the quotes) becomes 0.25 when multiplied by 1. Any explanation? Any ideas on how to solve other than checking cell by cell to confirm all characters are numbers? Confused! Frustated! <grin>. Bob Just figured out the "why". An entry like 6 A is converted to 6AM. Its numerical value is 0.25. Still hoping for a ...
