How do you utilize a 'Data Validation' drop box as a 'Filter' condition?

Slightly complex formating, but I hope someone can direct me in the right direction.
Refer to this Demo Sheet before reading as I'll be referring to it throughout this post.
What I'm Trying to Accomplish: I'm trying to 'Filter' the "Ongoing Sales" sheet based on which store is selected (G13). I have a formula that will automatically populate the rows in each branded section and would like to add another condition to that formula stating the following:
If 'G13' is found in 'Current Markdown Sheet'!$P$16:AC16, display/filter the corresponding column if the value's in said column are greater than 0.
My current code (Which is filtering 'SKU's based off of brand names and if its men's, women's, or kids):
=FILTER('Current Markdown Sheet'!$B$16:$B, REGEXMATCH('Current Markdown Sheet'!$A$16:A, "ASICS"), REGEXMATCH(LEFT('Current Markdown Sheet'!$C$16:C,2), " M"))
Here are some visuals if my explanation wasn't good enough 😂:
^ Where I want the condition to go. (You can replace the &T(N("INSERT FILTER CONDITION HERE"))) ^
Some Rules to Follow:
You cannot alter the "Current Markdown Sheet" in anyway (Add data, remove data, etc).
I dont necessarily need it to show "All Stores", but if it's possible; Bonus points 😉.
Best of luck everyone, and I thank you in advance!
Cheers!

Try:
=FILTER('Current Markdown Sheet'!$B$16:$B, REGEXMATCH('Current Markdown Sheet'!$A$16:A, "ASICS"), REGEXMATCH(LEFT('Current Markdown Sheet'!$C$16:C,2), " M"),INDIRECT("'Current Markdown Sheet'!$"&regexextract(ADDRESS(16,MATCH(G13,'Current Markdown Sheet'!16:16,0)),"[A-Z]+")&"$16:$"&regexextract(ADDRESS(16,MATCH(G13,'Current Markdown Sheet'!16:16,0)),"[A-Z]+"))>0)
Result:
Explanation:
-Using the MATCH() to find the column of the match word from the dropdown, this returns the column index. You then use the ADDRESS() to get it's exact cell address, then REGEXTRACT() to only get the COLUMN letter:
regexextract(ADDRESS(16,MATCH(G13,'Current Markdown Sheet'!16:16,0)),"[A-Z]+")
-Now that you have the column, you can use the returned column to filter those greater than 0. You can also use column for the INDRECT() to refer to the dropdown.

Pentaho: How to use dynamic parameters in "Merge Rows diff" step in part Values to compare

I am new at pentaho, I am using a step „Merge rows (diff)“ and compare two tables. Problem ist that I dont know the key and value fields to compare of my origin tables, I can only read them in „Javascript“-step. Do you know any variants how to use such parameters in „Merge rows (diff)“-Step? Especially I am interested in „Values to compare“, because I need two compare all columns in these two tables and the structure of the tables (for example column names) can change in database any time, so I will have always different number of fields in „value to compare“.
Thank you for your help.

Firebase: best way to order and filter multiple childs

So as we know firebase won't let order by multiple childs. I'm looking for a solution to filter my data so at the end I will be able to limit it to 1 only. So if I won't to get the lowest price it will be something like that:
ref.orderByChild("price").limitToFirst(1).on...
The problem is that I also need to filter it by dates (timestamp)
so for that only I will do:
.orderByChild("timestamp").startAt(startValue).endAt(endValue).on...
So for now that's my query and then I'm running on all results and checking for that one row that has the lowest price. my Data is pretty big and contains around 100,000 rows. I can changed it however I want.
for the first query that gets the lowest price but all timestamps causes that the returned row might be the lowest price but not in my dates range. However this query takes ONLY 2 seconds compared to the second one which takes 20 including my code to get the lowest price.
So, what are your suggestions on how to do it best? I know I can make another index which contains the timestamp and the price but those are different data values and it makes it impossible.
full data structure:
country
store
item
price,
timestamp
just to make it even more clear, I have 2 inner loops which runs over all countries and then over all stores. so the real query is something like that:
ref.child(country[i]).child(store[j]).orderByChild("timestamp").startAt(startValue).endAt(endValue).on...
Thanks!

How to remove special character from string when post to database?

I have AngularJs tooltip for character counter where i am facing two problems.
1- Because of special character in the string its not saving it to db when copy paste below text in the text area.
2- It should only add 4000 character in the text area more than that should be escaped.
I have tried below code if i add more than 4000 character its going beyond 4000 and characters left is showing negative numbers in count and also failed to save.
How to resolve these problems ?
Ctrl.js
$scope.$watch('processDTO.processStatementText', function () {
if (!$scope.processDTO.processStatementText) {
$scope.processStatementTextTooltip = '4000';
}
else {
$scope.processStatementTextTooltip = 4000 - $scope.processDTO.processStatementText.replace(/[&<>"'\/]/g,'\r\n').length ;
}
});
main.html
<textarea rows="2" class="form-control"
ng-model="processDTO.processStatementText"
name="processStatement" id="processStatement"
placeholder="Process Statement" maxlength="4000" required
tooltip="{{processStatementTextTooltip}} characters left"
tooltip-trigger="{{{true: 'focus', false: 'never'}[processDTO.processStatementText.length >= 0 || processDTO.processStatementText.length == null ]}}"
tooltip-placement="top" tooltip-class="bluefill">
</textarea>

2. Upload Template Header – Risk Causal and Impact comments are color coded as mandatory but they are optional. Similary the Originating Source System Process/Risk/control ID
3. In the upload template, for any of the multi value fields, I use an invalid delimiter ‘:’, Eg: 13:7 , for some reason this changes the cell format to time format and thereafter I am not able to give any single values, its always converted to time format. Not sure if this is a training issue, but want to put it on the table to see if it requires any fix at all
4. In Upload, for the grid field length validations, the filter doesn’t works on Row Number and Max Allowed columns.
5. ERH All levels added in the View End to End ERH screen – Sort and Filter doesn’t works, After clicking on this field, none of the other filter/sort works on the page. Also the sort indicator(black triangle) is not visible, I believe the column width needs to be adjusted.
6. The Risk/Control reference id is seen on the Process Search grids, but when I search by Risk/Control, I don’t see the corresponding control/risk grid having the ref id column however tool tip has it
7. The label change “Originating Source System Process/Risk/Control ID” is not done in View/Search Inventory tool tips of Process, Risk, Control grids, It has to be fixed for all the 3 searches “By Process/Risk/Control”

Javascript populate HTML table given cell data

I have an html table with cells that can be edited when clicked on. I am trying to figure out the best method to change cell data in cells following an edited cell.
For example, say the table comes populated by random numbers or letters. When I changed a cell to "14" I want the cells after it to change automatically to 15, 16, 17,n+1..ect. Or if I entered "h" the following cells would change to i,j,k,l...z stopping at z.
The number one seems pretty easy as I could just create a loop and i++ for each cell. However, the letter one doesn't seem as simple. Would I need to create an alphabet array and find the edited cell letter within it then proceed to the end of the array inserting each into the follow cells?

This can actually be done with a fairly simple function call like this one:
function NextChar(c){
return String.fromCharCode(c.charCodeAt(0) + 1);
}
where c is the alphabetic character that is entered into the cell, passed as a parameter.
I can see this question was done quite some time ago, so this answer is more for people who make come seeking answers later.

I would make arrays with character sequences as you said and use the jQuery.inArray() API to detect which sequence the edited cells content is in.
