Is there a way to stop Omniscope from putting commas in every single number field interpreted by every block in the application?

- I have an R block in which output_data contains a number of integer columns. When they are retrieved from the R dataframe and processed in Omni theyre all get given commas. There are too many fields of differing types to go in and manually remove the commas from each integer field.
- When you have integers over three digits and try merge with another field without commas in the numbers the ones with commas do not merge with the ones without commas.
- When I have this fairly simple formula:'=COUNTIF(A:A,A' & (CURRENTROW()+ 2) & ')' in a field organizer I am returned with =COUNTIF(A:A,A1,071). (I know its sloppy to inject excel formulae like this but bear with me)

If I asked colleagues of mine they would agree that the frustrations and issues caused by this feature are multiples of this. Is there any way this can be addressed? Commas in numbers is a display feature and shouldnt exist in the datamanager. A suitable solution would be to stop the application putting commas in all formulae by default.

Thank you,

Like you can if you are in Field Manager in the actual report.

Would really like to clean up some massive report where the report writer queries a select * from many many tables. I can use the references/referenced by to see which field i need to keep.

New: "Search/replace" now supports RegEx and Wildcards (2.9+) http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2457/new-searchreplace-now-supports-regex-and-wildcards-2.9- Mon, 27 Jan 2014 08:02:11 -0500 victor 2457@/discussions

You can now use wildcards (* and ? ) in the "Search for" field for a simple, yet powerful, search/replace...or you can use full-fledged Regular Expressions (RegEx) which can read and even re-write almost any text string to bring out visual and filtering patterns implicit in raw unstructured data.

The regular expression syntax and replacement patterns are the same as the ones used in the formula function REPLACEREGEX. For a complete reference of the RegEx syntax, visit http://www.regular-expressions.info/]]>

I'm not talking about the actual calculation of fields, or how long a file takes to refresh - but simple operations such as adding a field, expanding a block, bringing up the right click menu, selecting blocks.

It's not specific to one file, or one block type. It doesn't require a lot of blocks, although as block count goes up, responsiveness goes through the floor to an almost comic degree.

I'm not anywhere near RAM limits in most cases, the CPU is often nigh idle, and there's no disk thrashing.]]>

Idea: Outputs - Splitting up files with new filter+output Block? http://forums.visokio.com/discussion/2274/idea-outputs-splitting-up-files-with-new-filter-output-blocks Wed, 07 Aug 2013 04:54:35 -0400 aknotts 2274@/discussions
I have a dataset which has a country field in it (about 50 countries). I basically filter my dataset (about 1m rows) per country and then create an IOK file for each country based upon a template. I use the batch block output in DataManager out had an idea for a new output block. It would basically combine a record filter and an output block. You would select one column to split the data by and it would create an one output file for as many items in that category that was split and create a file name based upon a mask (similar to the timestamp mask) and then append the split name to the end of the mask.

eg - Split by: [Source Country]
File mask: Country Detail File -
Template: Country Detail File Template.iok
Output Type: IOK/IOM

This would have less functionality than the batch output but would enable much quicker splitting of data files into multiple files.

If you think its a good idea, would be happy to discuss further

For example:
Data connector (with options to change) -> 5 blocks -> 1 block where things need to be adjusted -> 5 blocks -> publish block

Here I could just group the 2 sets of 5 blocks to make things far simpler (5 block instead of 13) and it would be obvious which ones need to be changed.

Hope that makes sense!]]>

We only get this error when trying to read from a local file or Google Drive, files from our network drives open without any problems. We suspect this may be down to having concurrent installations of both 2.7 and 2.8 that look at the same 'Visokio' folder (see attached).

For instance, say there as an analysis breaking down sales territories by sales and customers. The user would first define a map (or chart, table, etc.) showing all sales people territories, with customer markers etc. They would then activate split file to auto group by sales person. They would then have the option to either auto generate new tabs - each showing a specific sales territory map and customers and analysis relating to that territory - and/or generate multi-page output, without needing further selection.

Questions:
1. I click the Update button on the Validate Data block, but the update does not seem to be successful... the Update button remains red and the Co2_improvement field of record #6 shows the old value. Why is this?
2. Is there a way to determine what rule(s) is failing and on what record(s)?
3. Why does the preview show "unavailable" for all records after record #10 (see following screenshot)? It would make sense if the preview showed "unavailable" for all records after record #5 (since record #6 is the record with the invalid data).

1) The query returned no records, as the SQL generated was looking for it to contain the text.

2) And while clicking between the "Configuration" "Filters" and "View SQL" tabs it has lost my field selections and gone back to select all

3) Minor UI issue, if you expand the View SQL box horizontally the text wrap extends out so that the SQL string extends across the available view. If you then make the view smaller horizontally it doesn't re-wrap the text but puts a scroll bar on the horizontal axis of box - minor problem, but what's wrong with perfection!]]>
