Very simple question about formula EXACT

Hi,
i'm new to Numbers. Trying to use the 'exact' formulas.
It's not working, so I'm reading the help section about it...
The example is the following : =EXACT("toledo"; "toledo") should return a TRUE value.
Numbers keeps telling me I have a syntax problem... Don't know where it is...

I don't know where you are and this may be the problem.
If you are running your program on a system using the period as the decimal separator, in Numbers the operands must de separated by commas.
My guess is that your system uses the decimal period and that French is the 1st language in the International Pref pane.
EXACT() is used in the English version but this one doesn't use the semi-colon in the Help or in the insert functions tool.
It's used also in the French version which use the semi-colon in the Help and in the insert functions tool because in French (of France) the decimal separator is the comma.
The two eastern localized versions uses EXACT() too but they assumes that the decimal separator is period so the parameters are separated by comma.
If my guess is true, you may go to my iDisk:
<http://idisk.mac.com/koenigyvan-Public?view=web>
and download:
foriWork:for_Numbers:pour_modifierNumbers.zip
which will give you the ability to change two plist files giving you an "insert function" tool inserting functions with the comma as separator matching the fact that the system uses the decimal period.

  • Very simple question about webapp list layout.

    Hi Everyone!
    I am having a very simple issue. I have created a web app and it has a default list layout looks like:
    <table><tbody><tr><td>{tag_counter}. {tag_name}</td></tr></tbody></table>
    I have placed web app module (using {module_webapps,14273,a} ) in one of my page. In front-end it has show every thing fine except it shows table tag for each item:
    <table>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>1. <a href="/lot/lot-101">Castlepoint Lot 101</a></td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
    <table>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>2. <a href="/lot/efg-lot">EFG Lot</a></td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
    <table>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>3. <a href="/lot/some-lot">Some Lot</a></td>

    <table>
        <tbody>
            <tr>
                <td>4. <a href="/lot/some-other-lot">Some Other Lot</a></td>
            </tr>
        </tbody>
    </table>
    When I delete table and tbody tags from list view, it stop showing table related tags instead it start showing it without any tag.
    How to correct this issue? Please help!!!

    Here is what you can do:
    -edit the webapp list layout via FTP or via the "alpha" File Manager. The WYSIWYG editor will attempt to "correct" your HTML code. Enter something like this:
    <tr>
    <td>
    {tag_counter}. {tag_name}
    </td>
    </tr>
    -on the page you need the listing placed on enter this code:
    <table>
    <tbody>
    {webappmodule here}
    </tbody>
    </table>
    When the page renders you will get the desired result:
    <table>
    <tbody>
    <tr><td>1</td><td>Item1</td></tr>
    <tr><td>2</td><td>Item2</td></tr>
    <tr><td>3</td><td>Item3</td></tr>
    <tr><td>4</td><td>Item4</td></tr>
    </tbody>

  • Very simple question about how to change a specific field in a table

    Hi,
    I'm working with a simple JSF web application, I have just drag a table, the "travel" standard example, and I just had 3 columns, one with a drop down list, other with a static text field and a Button.
    Then I introduced the following java code in the Button:
    public String button1_action() {
    int quantity=Integer.parseInt(dropMenu.getValue().toString());
    quantityChosen.setValue(quantity);
    When the button is pressed, I can print and check that the value obtained is the one selected in the drop down list, of the respective row.
    The problem that I would like to write it in the respective static text field (in the same row) where the button was pressed.
    What happens is that it write the value in all the column. So it reads from the write place and then write in every column?
    How to write in the respective row?
    Thanks in advance, Junkeira

  • Very Simple Question About Animated GIF Background

    Hi,
    Till now I didn't realise that I don't have to copy the whole
    picture into every frame, I can simply keep the "static" part as a
    background, and animate only the changing object (for example, some
    letters). This way the final file will be much smaller in size.
    I right-click on the selection and choose Animate Selection,
    but then I don't know how to arrange the animated selection and the
    background static picture to achieve the desireble result.
    Please advise.

    Seeing your PNG file would take a lot of the guesswork out of
    this, but
    basically:
    Put the static elements on one layer and choose to share that
    layer to
    frames.
    Either add your animation elements to separate frames or read
    up on
    using animation symbols.
    You can check out this list of tutorials as well, and/or post
    a link to
    your PNG file so we can be more detailed in our advice.

  • Very simple question about declaring variables

    if a create a new ' int ' as in the code below :
    static int counter;
    does the value of counter automatically default to ' 0 ' ?
    Does this also apply if i declare the var to be public, protected etc ( but not final )
    thanks

    Most languages will initialise an int to 0 if no value is specified but it is dangerous to rely on this as it is not always the case. It is therefore recommended as good practice that you always initialise your own variables to ensure they start with the value you wish and not something unexpected.

  • This is a very simple question about multi-channel audio playback

    I have an mp4 file that i made and i made it 7.1 surround sound, and i'm pretty sure that this 7.1 surround sound works, as it can be played in VLC. i'm using netstream to load my files now. How do i make it so that flash can playback all 8-channels of sound? I suppose kglad would know the answer

    Flash doesn't support multi-channel audio (yet?)

  • Very Simple question about JList

    Hi,
    I am newbie to Java, and I want to show a couple of items in JList Control, but it doesn't show up, anyone can help me. When I use system.out to printout the contents of the ListModel, it does tell me that those items are in it.
    Thanks a lot!!!!
    Code are like this:
    import java.lang.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    public class listExample extends javax.swing.JApplet {
    public void init(){
    String[] data={"one", "two", "three", "four"};
    jList1=new JList(data);
    for(int i=0; i<jList1.getModel().getSize(); i++)
    System.out.println(jList1.getModel().getElementAt(i));
    public listExample() {
    initComponents();
    private void initComponents() {
    jList1 = new javax.swing.JList();
    getContentPane().add(jList1, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
    // Variables declaration - do not modify
    private javax.swing.JList jList1;
    // End of variables declaration

    The objects in your list probably don't know how to display themselves. To do this you must overload the toString method that is originally in java.lang.Object. So basically if you have an object with a String for a first name and last name, for example, you would write a toString() method that looks something like this:
    public String toString() {
    return firstName + " " + lastName;
    When you put this object in a list the JList will use the toString method automatically to place text in teh JList object.
    Hope it helps.

  • A very very very simple question

    Hi guys,
    I have a very simple question and standard but I cant find anywhere...
    I have two dateTime variables, i need to calculate difference between this dates in days, thats it.
    I tried all functions and tried without success a Java Embed task but I couldnt retrieve this objects as java.util.Date so I couldnt calculate exactly the difference in days like this pure java code:
    (dataVencimento.getTime() - dataReferencia.getTime()) / 86400000L)
    can you help me this?

    Hi Jose
    Just see if these alternate approaches works. I know there may be lot like this and you may be lucky to find out simple out of box solution itself. If you want to solve this issue and move ahead, gives these approaches a shot.
    1. Create a very simple standalone WebService that takes 2 input date elements (can be of Date type or String type. If string type, convert to date in your java code). Create a simple operation like getDaysBetween(firstDate, secondDate). In the generated webservice impl class, use the java code apis (refer earlier link for usage), and get the difference. Return this value. NOW, invoke this WebService in your BPEL Process, and pass your 2 inputs (if the bpel payload elemetns are date object or string objects of date), and get output, and then use this output in your continuing bpel process.
    2. This approach, I did a long back. When we insert any expression using XPath, in that editor window on bottom right side, we see many categories and for each category we see list of functions we can use, like for String, we can use concat etc. I vaguely remember reading somewhere, that we can add our own custom functions also in this section. So explore this direction and see if you can add your own function and then use that fucntion with your 2 input dates.
    I have not given solution to your problem, but may be these directions can help you move ahead. Or something along these lines.
    Thanks
