IDEAScript Questions

Hide a column programmatically

Hi,
I have to hide a column which is used for internal calculations. This column will be created from code and should not be visible to user by default.
I am using TableManagementLib.TableManagement to append field. I don't see any attribute in COMDBLib.Field interface for setting visible property.
Is there any work around for this?
Thanks,
Shafeer
 

select a range of excel cells

Hi Brian
I was trying to perform from an Idea script some manipulations on excel cells. most of the manipulations works fine, but I could not find the equivalent to the folloing VB line:
 ActiveSheet.Range(Selection, Selection.End(xlToRight)).Select
this line select one row of excel cells from the current active cell to the rightmost non empty cell.
Naturally I tried the following, but it yield an error:
Set ex = CreateObject("Excel.Application")

Creating a script to take the medain of a row across multiple columns?

Hello -
I am new to IDEA, and was hoping someone could assist me.  I have files in a similar format as below.  What I need to do is take the median of Amt1 - Amt5 for each value in the Text column.  I created the median field using the excel function and was hoping I would be able to do the same in IDEA.
I've been able to compute the median for individual columns, but have not yet figured out a way to do it across a row.
Thank you in advance.
 

Open Documents - Hyperlink

I have a long list on transactions and a pdf copy of an invoice for each on my computer.  
Is there  way for me to define an action field such that I can click on the document number field in IDEA, and automatically open the correct document on my computer?
The helpdesk said it is possible using a script, but I haven't had much luck.   
Thanks,
Will
