[SOLVED] How to check if a field that can be created but wasn't exists?


Recommended Posts

Good morning, I am trying to figure out if it is possible to check if these invoice lines exist or not. 

Here are the table and column name: INVOICELINE.INVOICELINENUM (a required field if created)

Here is a picture of what I am talking about. (Do not worry about security. the picture is from a demo test site so all information is fake)

 2136520946_Screenshot(90).thumb.png.ceb98377b3e98e6f1fe688f2bb1cb429.png

is there any way to check if these fields exist or not? (they do not exist unless the user clicks on "New Row")

Example: line 11 does not exist right now. How would I go about to see if it did or not? 

This is what I have so far:

SELECT DISTINCT iv.invoicenum, iv.description
FROM invoice     AS iv
JOIN invoiceline AS ivl ON iv.invoicenum = ivl.invoicenum AND iv.siteid = ivl.siteid 
/* = 'nothing' and yet somehow not null? */
WHERE iv.invoicenum NOT IN (SELECT invoicelinenum FROM invoiceline WHERE invoicelinenum IS NOT NULL)

I get 0 results where I should get more than 0.

You're comparing invoicenum and invoicelinenum that is oranges and shoes.

Solved it. The only problem is that they "don't exist" without a line number. (nonpersistent) The code does work its just a database issue at this point. 

Like always here is the final code:

SELECT distinct invoicenum, description
FROM invoiceline 
GROUP BY invoicenum, description  
HAVING SUM(invoicelinenum) < 1
ORDER BY invoicenum

      Hi Fellow Automators,
      Long time listener, first time caller. I've resisted posting on the forums as long as possible for fear of public lynching, but I'm stuck and could really use some help.
      Note: If this is the wrong side of the forum for this topic, I apologize.
      I've built a GUI and script to make our lab data collection easier. The app has a number of input boxes and a 'record' button. The user fills out the input boxes with various notes and then presses 'record', which in turn presses 'record' on two other, separate apps simultaneously, pulls those recordings together into one folder, and then takes the text from the input boxes and adds it in a new row at the bottom of an existing .xlsx spreadsheet. Everything works great, except that every time I open the app to start collecting data for the day, the 'headers' for the $aArray are added to a new row and then the text is added below it. Now, if I don't close the app between collections, subsequent 'recordings' are added to the spreadsheet as expected. If I close the app and open it, the 'first' recording of the day adds the headers to a new row. I don't need new 'header' info because I've already got that in row 1 of the spreadsheet.
      If someone could tell me where I'm !#$%ing up, I would greatly appreciate it.

      (If translated with a translator, it may be written a little awkwardly. I would be grateful if you could understand my situation)
      As mentioned in the title, the icon file, which was applied well when compiled with exe, does not apply when compiled with a3x, and is displayed as the default autoit icon.
       
      #AutoIt3Wrapper_Icon=icon.ico
       
      I specified the icon file at the top, but why can't it be applied? Is there any way to compile with a3x including icons?

      Other than different methodologies, are there any differences between the two? Does one work out to be faster or more reliable than the other when deployed at scale? I'm trying out both UDFs, was curious which method is preferred by the community.

      This is the function that returns the result from cmd, initially i connect to the network wait then i make a call to the above _GetDOSOutput($sCommand) function i want to wait 1 period of time netsh wlan connect name="name" actually but after starting to execute the netsh wlan show interfaces command i tried adding a timeout command it seems to have ignored the timeout command?

      I'm trying to make one tray item delete another, but when I do this, all tray items that were created after the deleted item don't work as intended, as if their controlID's were all shifted down one value, and their corresponding tray items now (after deletion) run the code of the tray item before it. Am I missing something? Is there a better way to accomplish what I'm trying to do?
      #include <TrayConstants.au3> #include <Array.au3> HotKeySet ( "{ESC}", "Abort" ) Opt ( "TrayMenuMode", 3 ) TraySetState($TRAY_ICONSTATE_SHOW) ; Show the tray menu. Global $aTray[8] ; Defines array to hold tray items. $aTray[0] = TrayCreateItem ( "Test 1 (Name Test 5)" ) $aTray[1] = TrayCreateItem ( "Test 2 (Delete Test 5)" ) $aTray[2] = TrayCreateItem ( "Test 3 (Restore Test 5)" ) $aTray[3] = TrayCreateItem ( "Test 4 (Check if Test 5 is blank or space)" ) $aTray[4] = TrayCreateItem ( "Test 5 Delete Me" ) $aTray[5] = TrayCreateItem ( "Test 6 (Check Test 5 Text)" ) $aTray[6] = TrayCreateItem ( "Test 7 (Read Values)" ) $aTray[7] = TrayCreateItem ( "Test 8 (Count Blanks)" ) While 1 Switch TrayGetMsg() Case $aTray[0] ; "Test 1" Change Test 5 Text. If TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[0] ) <> "" Then Global $TrayText = InputBox ( "Test", "Choose text for Test 5", "Test 5 Delete Me" ) TrayItemSetText ( $aTray[4], $TrayText) EndIf Case $aTray[1] ; "Test 2" Deletes "Test 5". If TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[1] ) <> "" Then Global $TrayDeletedName = TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[4] ) TrayItemDelete ( $aTray[4] ) _ArrayInsert ( $aTray, 4 ) EndIf Case $aTray[2] ; "Test 3" Restores "Test 5". If TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[2] ) <> "" Then $aTray[4] = TrayCreateItem ( $TrayDeletedName ) EndIf Case $aTray[3] ; "Test 4" Check if Test 5 value is blank, space, or filled. If TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[3] ) <> "" Then If TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[4] ) = "" Then MsgBox ( 0, "Test", "Test 5 is blank" ) ElseIf TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[4] ) = " " Then MsgBox ( 0, "Test", "Test 5 is not blank (space)" ) Else MsgBox ( 0, "Test", "Test 5 is assigned a value" ) EndIf EndIf Case $aTray[4] ; "Test 5" (Item to test for, during, and after deletion). If TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[4] ) <> "" Then MsgBox ( 0, "Test", "I'm here!" ) EndIf Case $aTray[5] ; "Test 6" Displays Text from Test 5 item. If TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[5] ) <> "" Then $Test5Text = TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[4] ) MsgBox ( 0, "Test", "Test 5 Text: " & $Test5Text ) EndIf Case $aTray[6] ; "Test 7" Displays all item values. If TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[6] ) <> "" Then MsgBox ( 0, "Test", "$aTray[0]: " & $aTray[0] & @CRLF & _ "$aTray[1]: " & $aTray[1] & @CRLF & _ "$aTray[2]: " & $aTray[2] & @CRLF & _ "$aTray[3]: " & $aTray[3] & @CRLF & _ "$aTray[4]: " & $aTray[4] & @CRLF & _ "$aTray[5]: " & $aTray[5] & @CRLF & _ "$aTray[6]: " & $aTray[6] & @CRLF & _ "$aTray[7]: " & $aTray[7] & @CRLF ) EndIf Case $aTray[7] ; "Test 8" Counts all blanks in tray values. If TrayItemGetText ( $aTray[7] ) <> "" Then Global $blankCount = _ArrayFindAll ( $aTray, "" ) If $blankCount = -1 Then If @error = 6 Then MsgBox ( 0, "Test", "Error, No blanks present") EndIf Else MsgBox ( 0, "Test", "# of blanks: " & $blankCount ) EndIf EndIf EndSwitch WEnd Func Abort() Exit EndFunc Here is a test script I created to try to troubleshoot the problem on my own, with no luck. pay specific attention to "Test 2" ($aTray[1]), "Test 5" ($aTray[4]), and how every tray item after "Test 5" ($aTray[4]) behaves after deletion. Clicking "Test 2" will delete tray item "Test 5", after deletion every item runs the code of the tray item that was established before it (ex. "Test 3" and "Test 4" run their respective code, "Test 5" no longer exists, "Test 6" runs "Test 7", "Test 7" runs "Test 8"), and the last item ("Test 8" $aTray[7]) has no effect when the tray item is clicked. 

      I understand that deleting the tray item changes the controlID, but I don't know in what way it does, and therefore how I can fix it to be able to achieve what I want it to. I appreciate any help or guidance with this problem.

      To clarify, what I'm ultimately trying to do is create a 'while' loop with switch case functions that can exist without necessarily being linked to a tray item, so that I can add and delete them at liberty using the script's functions, without having to differentiate switch case functions with if functions (if $aTray[x] exists, then use this set of switch case functions, etc.). 

      Please, I am in pain. Water come school me again pls
