Participant Name and Attendance in the same row in Google form - google-forms

I would like to create a Google form which can give me the following sort of response in Excel Sheet.
Student Name 4-Jun
XYZ P
We are using this kind of sheet to mark attendance. All I was able to create from a Google form was
Timestamp XYZ
7/6/2013 6:05:19 Present
Thus instead of having student names as columns, we would like to have them as rows and mark their attendance by dates as columns. Let me know if there is a way to do that.
Thanks.

I don't think the feature is available directly, but once you have the final spreadsheet, you can use the TRANSPOSE function to rotate the results onto a new worksheet. Details are here.

Aggregation tool in BIRT : display a count like number on a table column

It must be very easy, baut i can't display a very simple filtered agregation on a table header row in BIRT 3.7. I manage to use count aggregation on groups headers or footers, buet not a filtered aggregation on a simple column table.
USE case : my sql statement car return the string value "ERROR..." for a string field name TEST. The query returns 734 results. My table display all the results.
In the header row i just want to diplay a count of which would be in SQL a count like "ERROR%".
I can't manage to do that whit the aggregation tool !
aggregation builder
Many thanks for your help.
Julien
as i can't manage to find the correct way of filtering my aggregation, i provide the results from my SQL request. By i'd be glad to find the dynamic way of filtering it.
Here is an image of a column that contains strings with "ERR". Le top field in red is my aggregation field served by a slq like '%ERR :%' statement.

Tableau data source column name changed when using a duplicated view from database (Teradata)

I was using a view (VW_NEW_CUSTOMERS) in Teradata and all the column names had an underscore in it. The column names in tableau did not contain underscores.
For example:
Customer_Number (From Table View)
Customer Number (From Tableau Column Name)
Now I created a duplicate of the view (VW_NEW_CUSTOMERS_2), all the columns have the underscore in Tableau. So when I use replace data sources, the column name mapping is completely different from the above because of the underscores.
New Tableau fields from duplicated View:
Customer_Number (From Table View)
Customer_Number (From Tableau Column Name)
I would like to know why the underscores did not appear 1st time and it is now appearing when I duplicated the view. How can I rename the fields so that it comes like the 1st time? Should I do them manually now?
Note: Database columns were using aliases
Check this thread, this isn't new, Tableau decided to start renaming fields some time ago. Not sure why it would have done on one of your data sources, but not the other.
Anyway, the exec summary, you may need to reset the field names of the version without the underscore, which should bring the underscore back into your data, making both data sources the same. To do this, copied from the thread:
"Version 9.3 and 10.1, you can select all the measures (and dimensions) in a worksheet, right click and "reset names" in two operations"
I think there's also a way to hack the xml to add the spaces to your copy, should that be preferrable. The thread covers hacking the xml to remove spaces, therefore I assume to add spaces do the same but in reverse.

Blueprism - Extract data from a web page into a collection

I am new to blue prism. I have a scenario where I am giving input (passengers details for traveling) to a travel portal and based on the input its generating a booking reference number, total cost etc. Now I want to read all the outputs into a collection but the problem is data is not tabular (cant use Get Table in read component). Its just the details of travel which are populating into textboxes. Please find attached the screen shot to have more clarity on this.
How to achieve this? Any leads will be appreciated.
Based on the screenshot you've provided, this is part of the Blue Prism Advanced Consolidation Exercise ("BPTravel").
"Get Table" won't work on this data because it is not a table. As you've mentioned, the data is presented in a series of textboxes.
The way to tabularize this data would be to create a Collection in your Process and manually define each of the Field Names in the collection, then read each text field in individually to the correct column in the collection.
Read each text box data into data item. Create a named collection (i.e Collection with pre-defined column name). Loop through the collection.column_name(You will be getting column name as collection by using Utility - Collection Manipulation action and get the column names) and first add a row to collection and assign values to collection fields

Graphs from Google Forms

I have a form which records electricity consumption over time. This will insert values in a sheet, where the first column is called Timestamp and is in the form: 04/02/2016 11:03:44.
I wanted to run some stats based on weeknumber and month from Timestamp and display updated graphs automatically. How would you easily achieve this?
Creating another column which references and formats the Timestamp column, does not work because each time a row is added by the form the references are skipped.
You could try using arrayformula in your other columns as these will automatically adjust to include new Form submissions. For example, try pasting these into row 2 of your response sheet:
=ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(A2:A),WEEKNUM(A2:A),))
=ArrayFormula(IF(LEN(A2:A),MONTH(A2:A),))

salesforce.com matrix reports - more than 2 columns on row headings

I need to create a donor summary report that provides total donations by donor by year.
I need to provide
name address email yr1total yr2total etc...
It looks like salesforce only allows two columns in row headings and two columns in column headings. Is there a way to work around this
Or, is there a way to use the tabular report to do the same?
TIA
If donations is a single field on the donor's record, it seems like what you're looking to do is attempt to display two columns for the same data within a report. The best way to do this (well, outside of creating a master-detail relationship with a new custom object named "Donations") would to have formula fields for each of the donation years, and calculate the donation sums in each of them. That is, as long as you have a way of calculating the year of the donation.
I believe to get the best answer, more information is needed.
Something like this? This will work if your donation is a separate object that's linked to Account (I've used Tasks & Events linked to Accounts in my example).
Create a report in "Matrix format".
Drop Account Name on the left pane, Donation's Date on the columns.
Columns will default to days. Click the dropdown in the place where I have "Created Date" and select summarizing by year (of course fine-tune to whatever you need).
Check date ranges / filter criteria etc obviously if you don't see all data.
Click Show -> Hide details.
Drop your "Donation Amount" or similar field into place where "Record Count" is displayed. Use "Sum".
Optionally deselect Show -> Record Count.
Now you're mentioning that there are only 2 columns so you probably already tried this. Well, common trick is to cheat by using a formula field that would hold your data (separated by comma maybe?). Tabular report would require you to create some helper fields (1 per year) on Account and do some kind of rollup summaries, messy.
If it's for a dashboard you could play with summary report (it can have more groups than 2) and pick chart type table on the dashboard...
