But is it possible to change the bucket - so that we can fix the maximum value of the axis? As so that we can change the intitial axis, so make it go up in 2, or 25s of what every we pick?

UPPER(IF([Norm Vendor]=NULL,[Supplier Name],[Norm Vendor]))

However, this is not upper-casing the result of the IF statement.
Is there a way round this? Using 2.6b237

Basket Analysis: finding category overlaps http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/1960/basket-analysis-finding-category-overlaps Fri, 21 Dec 2012 07:12:12 -0500 tgcrouch 1960@/discussions I have data at transactional level, where several transactions can form a single invoice. Assuming one invoice has 3 transactions with a different 'product group' (out of perhaps 10 available product groups), I would like to understand how many invoices contain which combinations of product groups. e.g.

invoice 1
trx1 - 3 apples = FRUIT product group
trx2 - 2 twix bars = SNACK product group

invoice 2
trx1 - 1 orange = FRUIT product group
trx2 - 1 newspaper = NEWSPAPER product group

invoice 3
trx1 - 1 apple = FRUIT product group
trx 2 - 3 mars bars = SNACK product group
trx 3 - 2 oranges = FRUIT product group

I would like to count how many invoices have both FRUIT and SNACK product groups, in this case the overlap should equal 2 (because invoices 1 and 3 have this combination). So far, I have managed to get the number of invoices for each of the product groups separately, but with no overlap between any of them (just 0 values).

Aggregation at invoice level doesn't seem to change anything.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance!]]>
Keyboard shortcuts: skip re-calculate all (2.8+) http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/1962/keyboard-shortcuts-skip-re-calculate-all-2.8- Fri, 21 Dec 2012 11:39:06 -0500 Alfonso 1962@/discussions
In these models, the user has to interact frequently with the User Interface, changing variables and inserting values on grids or dataView. As the performance sometimes isn't enough fast to drive it with automatic calculi he has to disable and enable re-calculation of the formulas and refresh the calculi. However, currently access to this functionality from the menu is not 'user friendly':

Data>Formula>Calulate automatically. (enable/disable automatic calculi).
Data>Formula>Recalculate all (CTRL+SHIFT + R) (force all calculi).

My suggestion is to give this enable/disable or 'skip' functionality a Keyboard shortcut combination such as as (CRTL+ SHIFT +S ) for saving a file, for example.

This way, the user can select between two modes, either act and wait for all the calculi process with the time involved, using shortcut like (CTRL+SHIFT+R) , or wait only a few time to see the results of his action. We need it but I think is will also be useful for other people and projects.]]>

Security: personalised & role-based file security and distribution? http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/1907/security-personalised-role-based-file-security-and-distributions Tue, 20 Nov 2012 08:46:06 -0500 ZhouNan 1907@/discussions
Currently, we are trying to figure out a security plan for our new project; and it involves the version selection. We already got desktop license; but it doesn't seem to be enough to provide solid security.
I have gone across the Feature Matrix against versions; and there are two points which I want to dig more on.

1. Includes Scheduler to automate file actions e.g. updates from source data, refresh of server-side Source IOK 'datamarts', and personalised file distribution.

2. Advanced file security options including HTTP web server authentication, domain-locking of files, 'walled gardens' based on license keys issued, etc.

I will just ask questions around those two points:
1. Is personalised distribution based on user's domain username(windows username)?
2. Can role based/group based security be implemented in either Server or Server Plus version or both?
3. In terms of server side source IOK, is it possible to wipe the data loaded from Source IOK at the user end after when file is closed? Is it related to the concept of Domain Locking?
4. What does domain locking can produce specifically?

Overall, what we are trying to achieve is to prevent every single distributed file holding the data; and ideally user shouldn't be able to export the data. Please give us some suggestions based on the requirements, so we can purchase the license and get started quickly!

Many thanks!]]>

We have two flat files and need to join these two flat files to generate the data.
Listed below the tables and their corresponding columns.
SITES - Siteid, Sitename
TRANSPORT - Sourceid, Destinationid, Quantity , Weight

So the requirement is if we join sites.siteid with transport.sourceid, then we get the Source Name
Then if we join sites.siteid with transport.destinationid , then we get the Destination Name.

Please help me in creating the same in Omniscope file by using the 'Merge/Join' Operation.

If we had considering these flat files as tables and written the join condition, the query looks as mentioned below.
SELECT so.siteid sourceid
, so.sitename sourcename
, de.siteid descid
, de.sitename descname, t.qty, t.weight
FROM temp_sites so
, temp_transport t
, temp_sites de
WHERE de.siteid = t.descid
AND so.siteid = t.sourceid

So now we need to create an iok file based on this query.
