Create a formula based on another cell

I would like to create a formula which gives a total/percentage based on the content of another cell.
For example, if A3 contains text "apple", then multiply A7 * 5%; If A3 contains "banana", then multiply A7* 3% and so on.
I have tried using the 'IF' and 'IF-true' functions to no avail.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Create a formula based on UserResponse()

Am trying to create a var based on Count(Payperiod) for overall report however whenever I include the formula at row level the value reverts to the individual row. How can context be overriden? e.g. Formula is Sum(HrsWorked)/Count(Payperiod)
Where Count(Payperiod) is based on a range of dates selected from UserResponse() for a Beginning and Ending Payperiod.
Report contains record for each employee and If Count(Payperiod) = 3 but that employee may have only HrsWorked recorded for one of the Payperiods
I want calculation to use HrsWorked for each employee but I need to use the number of payperiods based on the UserResponse()s not on number of Payperiods recorded for employee.

Hi
try this syntax
Sum(HrsWorked)/(Count(Payperiod) In Report)

Numbers SUMIF with condition based on another cell?

This works great!
=SUMIF(Food Log :: Date,"=March 20, 2008",Food Log :: Calories)
But I want the condition to be based on a cell value:
=SUMIF(Food Log :: Date,"=A2",Food Log :: Calories)
Is there a way to use the SUMIF function with a condition based on the value of a cell?

Chris,
Try this formula: (Forgive the made up values in the example)
=SUMIF(Food Log :: Date, A2,Food Log :: Calories)

Create a report based on another

Hi,
i've following question. I have a report A composed by an union of two queries.
Example:
Select X,Y from Subject Area UNION Select W,Z from Subject Area
Is possible create another report which select any fields of the report A?
Example:
Select Y,Z from (select X,Y from Subject Area UNION Select W,Z from Subject Area) where ....
Thanks

The problem is that my union:
Select x,y from Subject Area (A) UNION Select z,w from Subject Area (B)
retrieves following data:
Jan 3500€
Jan cast(null as int)
Feb 1100€
Feb cast(null as int).
As you see it duplicates each month. First row is the real row, the second is a dummy row. The part (A) of union retrieves real rows, indeed part (B) retrieves dummy rows. In this way, because Jan, Feb, and so on are on x-axis of my chart, it is filled with all months of the year, even if for any months there aren't data in DB.
Now, when i download data i see together real rows and dummy rows, so i woul'd filter so, dummy rows are suppressed. I thought to create another request like that in my previous post.

How to create a formula based condition in bex query designer

hi all,
i have scenario in query designer where i need to calculate Key performance indexes based on characters and key figures iam using.for example the condition is like:
"if call received is less than call projection then give call received else null"
how and where to define the condition and i need to name the condition to display it seperatly.please help me in this issue.
regards
Vamshi D Krishna

hi you have to break down your conditions and then code for them.
for e.ge.
if actual == 0
vart = 0.
else if actual-target ==0
          vart = 0.001
       else
         vart = actual -target
       endif
endif
now we start with first condition use operators from boolean catagory
(Actual != 0)*(other amount)
this solves first if condition... if actual = 0 value actual != 0 will be zero we got our desired value.
if other case then we have give else condition.
(Actual != 0)*(((actual - target) == 0 )*0.001+((actual-target)!=0)*(actual-target))
in the second half we have coded the else part.
in the same way you can proceed for your logic

How to create an lov based on another lov?

For example, the first lov is a list of regions like east, west....
When I pick 'east', then i want the next lov to just show all the employees in the 'east' region.
Thanks

Hi
This is not possible in Discoverer 4i. The concept of Cacading lists of values was only introduced in Discoverer 10g R2 (10.1.2).
Now there's a good reason to upgrade :-)

Filter based on another analysis need to run as a seperate query obiee 11g

Hi,
I have a main report which has a filter condition that depends on the another request(Created through Filter based on another analysis).The Filter based on another analysis report query comes as a embedded query along with the main query (making a subquery).As it has a subquery it is taking more time to fetch data.
Is there any possiblity of running the Filter based on another analysis report as a seperate query.
Please suggest.
Thanks,

Conditional Formatting in one cell with a dates in another cell

I have a simple spreadsheet that will gauge a project's progress. I wish to have individual cells change color based on another cell. I can't get the right syntax in order - groan
E2 has today's date, =NOW()
G2 (not started) would change from a color to no color when the start date, F27, has arrived then
H2 (started) would change to a color when the date is met, F27, (may be change color as the completed date arrives) then no color when the completed date arrives, F28.
I2 (completed) would change to a color when the date is met, F28
When the spread sheet is opened or if I need to change the dates in either of the cells the cells with color gauges will update.
I am using conditional formating through the ribbon.
Please help!

Is there a way to create aliases for formulas without using other cells?

I have long formulas in certain cells, that consist of a bunch of smaller formulas that I re-use in multiple cells. Is there a way to create an alias for a formula (or create my own function) that I can then piece together into one big formula? I think I can use another cell to drop the formula in, but that just clutters up the spreadsheet.

David,
it looks like you can't define own formulas or create aliases for formulas.

How do I use the formula = to enter one cell as a % of another cell

I wish to enter into a seperate cell what one cell is as a % of another cell in numbers. How do I enter this % formula into the required cell.
Peter

Jalna,
In "a separate cell" write: one-cell's-address / another-cells-address.
Format separate-cell to %.
Jerry
Edit: I just noticed that your question is about iOS Numbers. So, the answer for iOS Numbers would probably be something like:
Click in "a separate cell". Enter formula mode. Click on "one-cell", select "/" operator, click on "another-cell". Exit formula mode. Format as %.
Can you tell I'm just guessing?

Assigning a Numeric Value in a Cell Based on Text in Another Cell

In advance, thanks for your assistance. I'm trying, in vain, to assign a numeric value in a cell based on text (from a dropdown menu) in another cell. For example, in cell A5 I have a dropdown list that includes the options "blue", "red", "white", and "gold." I want cell C15 to be 2 if A5="blue"; I want C15 to be 0 if A5="red"; I want C15 to be 2 if A5="white"; and, I want C15 to be 1 if A5="gold."

Tippet,
This is a job for LOOKUP.
The expression for the Result cell is: =LOOKUP(A2, Lookup :: A1:A4, Lookup :: B1:B4)
The aux. table contains the matches that you assign for the colors.

Jerry
