General discussion

Hello,
I was wondering if it's possible to automatically attach and e-mail an exported database to myself? I'm trying to incorporate this into my script. 
Thanks. 

Hi,
Excuse me. This might be an out of box  question. 
In IDEA Smart Analyzer tab, there is a 'Select and Run' option from which we can see routines imported into Smart Analyzer and execute routines.
My requirement is given below:
I have to list the routines showing under the 'Select and Run' in a separate windows application.
I would like to know if there is any library that I can refer and call method to list routines imported into IDEA Smart Analyzer.
Thanks,
Shafeer

 
HELP!  Is there a way to normalize vendor names in Idea? For example, AMAZON MKTPLACE PMTS to AMAZON, WAL-MART002 to WAL-MART, UPS 091238547 to UPS...etc? 
 The database I’m working with has at least 500,000 records. 
Thanks in advance

I just found this presentation by CaseWare on why you should stop using spreadsheets for audit analysis.  Through everyone might be interested.

Hi Brian,
Hope you are doing good. I have a question regarding the differces found in totals with appended database and individual totals of the files.
for eg 12 months data in text imported into idea with four decimal places and to validate the appended database i have taken the total of each file from the field statistics and input the same into excel,  but after appending all the 12 files i am facing a difference of more than 1000 with the appended database and the grand total of excel file. What could be the reason for this??
Thanks for your help.

I haven't seen the Ben Affleck movie the Accountant yet but I understand that he uses Benford's Law in one area.  I guess he finds a larger than expected use of the number three which would entail him using Benford's law.

Hi,
 Is it possible to get the base population file in case we are provided with only Summarized data? It is taking time to extract each summarized data (by cliking oin the number of records hyper link)and finally we need to append. Is there any easier way to do the same?. Thanks, Bibin
