Best for Accounting Class? Excel or Numbers '09

I'm about to take a cost accounting class and the syllabus says that we'll be using excel to do spreadsheets and to create an interactive master budget. I'm not sure if I should go for Numbers '09 (since I'm more inclined to get iWork because of Pages and Keynotes '09) or Excel (since my professor is encouraging it). I really want to give Numbers '09 a chance but I don't want to struggle in class.

The reasons for that encouragement could be a matter of preference/familiarity on the part of the professor, or could arise from the fact that the feature sets of the two applications are not the same.
If the course includes use of Excel functions and features not supported by Numbers, you'll be placing an extra learning burden on yourself to find ways to do the same task without the same tools, and sometimes you'll find it much more difficult (or not possible) to do the same task without those tools.
Regards,
Barry

    If you know that you will not be asked to design GUI interfaces, and the C programming course will adhere to command line compilation environments, then get the Xcode command-line developer tools, and skip the extra complication of Xcode until you absolutely need it. Apple has kicked GNU C to the curb and is rightly so, using Clang/LLVM compiler technology.
    Sign up for a free Apple Developer account using your Apple ID, and then visit the Mac Dev Center, and towards the bottom of the page, you will see additional downloads. Click on the associated, all down loads link. Know your OS X version beforehand, as the command-line tool releases are tied to general operating system versions, and the most recent Xcode version.  That said, there are currently two March 9, 2015 command-line tools for Xcode 6.2 — one for OS X 10.9 Mavericks, and the other for OS X Yosemite.

  • I am a fitness director and looking for an app that will allow me to sale and track group fitness classes. What app do you think would be best for this?

    I want to sale classes individually and in packages. I'll need to track when purchases are made and then when credits have been redeemed (if they purchased a package of classes). I suspect I'd need an app in the bussiness category, but there are so many and some with a few qualities I'm looking for, but missing a key component. I can't be the only one looking for a solution like this. Right?!

    Your posting this in the spreadsheet forum for Apples iWork program called "Numbers" on mobile devices (iOS).
    Please let us know if you are attempting to make a spreadsheet to track this (This forum)
        or
    Looking for a premade app to do this (a different forum/website/search)
    If the first choice, please give us more information on what aspect of the spreadsheet is giving you an issue and we can attempt to help out some.
    Thanks

  • Service "No valuation class exists for account reference"

    Hi,
    in AC01 trx, I cannot create a Service.
    The error is:
    No valuation class exists for account reference
    I tried with trx OMSK to link the account category reference to material type but won't work.
    The error is always: No valuation class exists for account reference

    Hi,
    try also to check from SPRO, Materials Management, External Services Management, Service Master, "Define Service Category", you have to set the standard "Account category reference" 0006 or the one (custom) you have set in customizing also check (Valuation and Account Assignment trx OMSK)

  • I save my Excel file as .PDF then send it out by email. What program is best for my use?

    I want to send my Excel files as .pdf by email.  I need to know if Acrobat program is best for me.  I purchased a PDF file this morning and I don't think I need that.  From what I have seen, The Acrobat file is more what I need.  If so, then I would like to cancel the PDF file I ordered this morning and replace it with the Acrobat program.  I already have the Adobe Reader XI installed.

    Fay it isn't clear what you are referencing by "PDF file" and "Acrobat file".
    Yes there is the file format "PDF".
    No there's no file format "Acrobat file".
    Anyway, there are a number of ways to create a PDF file from an Excel file.
    From Adobe -
    You can purchase ("perpetual" license or subscription) Acrobat (Standard or Pro).
    After install of Acrobat you will have the Adobe PDF virtual printer which you can use to print to PDF (instead of print to paper).
    After install of Acrobat you will have the PDFMaker which integrates with Office applications.
    You can create a PDF from Excel using the PDFMaker.
    Or
    You can subscribe to Adobe's online service "PDF Pack".
    As a subscriber you go online, point the browser to the service's site, sign in, upload the Excel file and then save the output PDF to your computer.
    With the PDF in hand you originate the email and attach the PDF.
    Be well...

  • Hi all! What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    What is the best way to create the correct space for baseball jersey names and numbers? along with making sure they are the right size for large printing.

    Buying more hard drive space is a very valid option, here.  Editing takes up lots of room, you should never discount the idea of adding more when you need it.
    Another possibility is exporting to MXF OP1a using the AVC-I codec.  It's not lossless, but it is Master quality.  Plus the file size is a LOT smaller, so it may suit your needs.

  • Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..

    Which version of sql server 2012 or 2014 is best for sharepoint 2013.. Any excellent comparision available please let me know..i mean enterprise version BI version or standard version.. i just need a detailed comparison if available please thank you

    As of right this very second, SQL Server 2014 is not supported. SharePoint 2013 supports:
    One of the following:
    The 64-bit edition of Microsoft SQL Server 2012.
    The 64-bit edition of SQL Server 2008 R2 Service Pack 1
    Hardware and software requirements for SharePoint 2013
    Edit: I may be mistaken. It looks like the April 2014 CU adds support for SQL Server 2014. If this is the case generally going with the latest SQL Edition provides you with the latest SQL functionality. I'm not aware of any SharePoint features that would
    make use of functionality that is new to SQL Server 2014 but this could change with a future service pack.

  • New mac - what is best practice for accounts?

    I am about to get a new mac (imac g5), and would like it to work well (ie file transfer and backup to from) my existing powerbook.
    Is there a best practice for account set up? should I use the same accounts between the two or can I set up a new account on the new mac?
    Related to this: what will key change sync give me? does that only work with the same accounts on two macs?
    thanks
    John

    With Tiger there is a migration assistant that will move everything over from your Powerbook to your new iMac G5. All you need is a firewire cable and when prompted in your first start-up select migration assistant and connect the two computers. You will need to boot up your Powerbook holding down the 't' key before you connect the two together. Good luck, Jack.

  • I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like excel, word etc. 13"

    I need help to decide which macbook pro is best for photo editing, editing movies and doing all the rest too like  microsoft office products ...excel, word etc.  I am new to the apple world and have liked the idea of the MAC Book Pro 13" but really dont know if this is good enough or if the computer will soon crash?
    13-inch: 2.6GHz
    with Retina display
    Specifications
    2.6GHz dual-core Intel Core i5
    Turbo Boost up to 3.1GHz
    8GB 1600MHz memory
    512GB PCIe-based flash storage1
    Intel Iris Graphics
    Built-in battery (9 hours)2

    That's a fine machine and, with 8GB of RAM and 512GB flash storage should serve you well for light video/photo editing as well as for 'normal' usage. And it should last you for years to come.
    Good luck in making your decision!!

  • Best Practices to update Cascading Picklist mapping for Account record type

    1. Most of the existing picklist values name in parent and related picklist has been modified in external app master list, so the same needs to be updated in CRMOD.
    2. If we need to update picklist value, do we need to DISABLE the existing value and CREATE a new picklist.
    3. Is there any Best Practices to avoid doing Manual Cascading picklist mapping for Account record type? because we have around 500 picklist values to be mapped with parent and related picklist.
    Thanks!

    Mahesh, I would recommend disabling the existing values and create new ones. This means manually remapping the cascading picklists.
