Apple numbers creating variables

In Excel I can create a variable that can be used in  the spread sheet calculations.  e.g InterestRate=4.21%: Then use InterestRate in the spread sheet.  How do I create variables in Numbers?
Thank You
Ernie Graff

Hi Ernie,
Instead of an 'ocean' of a sheet with 'islands' of data (an idea borrowed from Barry) create several small tables, each with a purpose.
How about this? A table named Interest Rate (single cell) to contain a value that you can change by typing.
Another table with the calculations
Formula in B2 of the Calculations table:
=B2+B2×Interest Rate::A1
Now you have the Numbers equivalent of an Excel named reference .
Regards,
Ian.

  • How to create variables at runtime

    Hi,
    I need to know how can i create variables at runtime.
    or is their anything like array that we create in 'C' if yes . how can i define its size at runtime.
    Thanks,
    Dev.

    In forms, either record groups or pl/sql tables of records give similar functionality to an array. You have full programatic control of either but with completely different syntax. Record groups integrate well with certain forms built-ins and features (eg LOVs and Tree items). PL/sql tables integrate well with other pl/sql such as stored procedures. Unlike an array, a pl/sql table may be SPARSE (index numbers need not be sequential), and UNBOUNDED (no need to declare the number of rows).

  • Apple Numbers access to microphone

    We use Apple Numbers on iPads to collect event attendee information via student ID with a quick swipe of the card - all that is actually collected is the embedded number on the magnetic strip, this is then collated in our database system after the fact. The swiper that we use connects to the iPad via the microphone jack. I don't see numbers showing up in settings > privacy > microphone nor upon launch does Numbers ask for permission when launched. Is there a way to enable this? We are running the latest iOS and most up to date version of Numbers for iOS.
    Thanks,

    @pratfull
    It sounds like you're porting an existing C application.
    At a high level you need to modify the codebase so it plays
    nicely in the Flash sandbox. Remember, the end result of your
    Alchemy project is a Flash application, so you'll need to remove
    all platform-specific code.
    This means eliminating your application's dependence on the
    Windows API. Rewrite any dependencies to access system resources in
    a flash-friendly way.
    If StartCamera is the only function that depends on the
    Windows API, then remove windows.h and rewrite the body of that
    function. To provide the necessary camera functionality you could
    call out to a static AS3 method or write the logic in C. (See
    snippet below.)
    @amsicora
    The following code creates a ByteArray. You could use a
    similar approach to get a reference to Camera.
    // Create a ByteArray in C
    AS3_Val buffer_NS = AS3_String("flash.utils");
    AS3_Val buffer_class = AS3_NSGetS(buffer_NS, "ByteArray");
    AS3_Val buffer_array = AS3_New(buffer_class, AS3_Array(""));
    AS3_Release(buffer_NS);
    AS3_Release(buffer_class);

  • Creating Variables From Text File

    Hello a little new to powershell and have banging my head on the wall trying to get this working.
    I have a text file (where the numbers of lines will change everytime) that will contain AD groups. 
    Lets say it looks like this
    GroupA
    GroupB
    GroupC
    I'm trying to you a loop that will read the file and output each new line to a variable so
    var1=GroupA
    Var2 =GroupB
    Var3=Groupc
    My first problem is that non of these can be null since this will be then be used with Add-ADgroupmemeber
    So I have it get the number of items with $Items = get-content *File* | Measure-Object -Line
    After that I have been trying to use a loop which to me looks like it should work however is not. I'm not getting any errors. However I'm not getting any created variables either. 
    For ($i=1; $i -lt $Items.lines; $i++) {
    $var[$i] = (Get-Content *File*)[$i-1]
    write-host $var[$i]}
    In my head I should get a listed of each line of the txt file but I'm getting nothing. 
    In the end I was hoping to doing something along the lines of ADD-Adgroupmember -identity $Var[$i] -members *Machine Name*
    If there is a better way to approach this I'm all ears.
    Thanks for any help!

    You don't need a loop to read each line from the file. You don't need a variable for each group read from the file. 
    For example, if your file looks like:
    GroupA
    GroupB
    GroupC
    with spaces/empty lines in it, that you wish to ignore, you can use:
    $Groups = Get-Content .\groups2.txt | % { ($_.split(" ",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)) }
    The $Groups variable will be an array that holds non-empty lines from the file. You can use that directly as in:
    foreach ($Group in (Get-Content .\groups2.txt | % { ($_.split(" ",[System.StringSplitOptions]::RemoveEmptyEntries)) })) {
    Add-ADGroupMember -identity $Group -members *Machine Name*

  • Creating variables in Report Painter

    Hi ...
    I would like to know ... how do I create variable ? I know it is via T CODE GS11, but when run tht, in the next screen it pops up for variable ? What variable do I need to enter ? is this predelivered Eg : CE-PK, or can we create one ? Please advise
    Also, I would like to I have a requirement for a report whereby the format is like this .....
    SALES       CURR MONTH (06/2006)  LAST YEAR          
    - Sales IT
    - Sales 1
    - Sales 2
    COGS
    - cogs 1
    - cogs 2
    - cogs 3
    COS
    - cos 1
    - cos 2
    - cos 3
    GROSS PROFIT
    Whereby, SALES = sales it + sales 1 + sales 2, COGS = cogs 1+cogs 2 + cogs 3, COS = cos 1+ cos 2+ cos 3. also GROSS PROFIT = SALES + COGS + COS
    The abpve report is inclusive of Cost Centre and Profit Centre, how acn I utilize the libraray in Report Pianter to create such report, is this possible in Report Painter whereby including Cost center and Profit Centre in one single report
    Pls assist me
    Nathan

    When you create your variable first enter the variable name. Second enter the reporting "table" to use. Third enter the "field'. Press enter. Next enter a default value for your field. Save you variable. It is now ready to use in your report painter.
    Using the PCA reporting tables gives you the profit center but not the cost center. You can only use one reporting table per report. you will need a cctr report for that.
    First create your own libray from GLPCT. Next create your report using your new library. The report painter can do the calculations that you have shown.
    You create a formula in the row or column to calculate your sub totals.
    pls assign points if helpful as a way to say thanks.

  • How do we get apple to create an app that allows us to lock/hide other apps we don't want others using/seeing?

    I don't want to "jailbreak" my iTouch but I do want to be able to hide and/or restrict the use of some of my apps.  I have spent several hours looking for a way to do this but no luck.  It seems like a logical thing to me to have this option.  Any suggestions on how to encourage Apple to create a 'hide an app' app?

    So enable the Settings -> General -> Passcode lock
    Also in Passcode lock set the "Require Passcode After..." to a value that allows you to unlock again within 'n' minutes of the most recent lock/sleep without needing a passcode.
    Then to make life easy for you, set the Settings -> General -> Auto-Lock to a time peroid that re-locks soon enough for you without being annoying
    So if someone goes into your purse, they will not get access to anything.
    NOTE:  10 failed passcode entries will lock up your iPod Touch such that you will be forced to restore your iPod Touch from you most recent sync/backup with iTunes on your personal computer.  So if you go this route, make sure you frequently sync with iTunes on your personal computer or you will loose most of the information on your touch.  If you are using iCloud to backup stuff on your touch, then that is another route, assuming what you backup does not exceed the free 5GB iCloud or you have purchased extra iCloud space.  Personally, I make sure I have a regular iTunes backup, so if anything happens to my touch, I can just restore from my most recent backup.
    After that you use the above mentioned feedback link to communicate your suggestions to Apple

  • How to create variable in BEx on a Nav Attribute?

    Hi All,
    We are creating a report on Master data object 0MILESTONE. 0PROJECT is the navigational attribute of 0milestone.
    and ZSTATUS is the navigational attribute of 0PROJECT.
    Requirement is to create variable on ZSTATUS in BEx. How do I do that? I dont see option of creating variable on Nav attribute of a Nav attribute.
    Regards,
    Bob

    Hi,
    There is nothing as such creating variable for navigation attribute. You can only create variable directly on particular infoobject.
    In your case you are using transitivie attributes. So they can not be accesed directly in BEX query. You can only use 1st level nagivation attributes in bex query.

    Please share some documentation on this topic.
    Thanks so much,

    Hi Vijay,
    Variables can be created for -
    Char Values
    Texts
    Formula elements
    hierarchy and its nodes
    For Characteristic Values -
    These are used to be filled by user in the query selection screen
    1.In the filter tab of QD, select the characteristic for which you want to create a variable,right click - >Restrict
    2.Select variabes from drop down
    3.Click Create new variable and then define its properties like "Processing By",Settings in Details tab etc and save it
    4.Move it to the right side and click ok
    Now you have created a variable and used it as a placeholder for that characteristic for which user can enter the value to act as dyanmic entry.

  • How to bind data from script created variable to embed element of XML schema (xsd) in "Data View"

    Hi, i have got another problem with livecycle designer scripting.
    I have got script line which is defining of string variable:
    var aaa = "this is my string";
    and i have got embed XML schema like this (it`s only short part of whole file):
    ... xs:element name="bbb" type="xs:string"/ ...
    After saving data to XML i would like to get "this is my string" as a value of my "bbb" XML element.
    To save this data i`m using submit button which is connect with submit.php file on my server.
    How to connect script created variable and embed XML schema element which is present on my "Data View" tab.
    Please help me a bit becouse i don`t know even where to search answer of it...
    Of course i know possibilities to create fake unvisible text field object and bind it with 'bbb' and than put "this.rawValue = aaa" to connect those two variables but i think that is not a good idea to solve it in that way. It`s too primitive

    i solve it, i should write this:
    xfa.datasets.data.bbb.value = aaa;

  • How do I get data back on my Numbers created inventory that was supposedly removed by spotlight?

    How do I get data back on my Numbers created inventory that was removed by Spotlight recently?  It seems to have happened after upgrading.

    Thanks for your reply.  Unfortunately when I click on "revert to" it shows no document.  It's very strange that the rest of my old inventories on numbers remain.  It is only my 2014 entries that went into a black hole somewhere.  When I click on my inventory pages it says: "OS X spotlight search information was removed."  It seems to have occurred after I recently updated Numbers.  I never did anything to have it removed and never got any kind of warning to my knowledge that it was about to be removed.  Very frustrating!

  • Creating variables in Process Flows and using thse variables in the filter

    Hi,
    I am new to OWB and in learing stage. Need to information.
    *1. as to how pass/create/use variables to OWB mapping ?*
    *2. Creating variables in Process Flows and using thse variables in the filter operator of the OWB mapping?*
    *3. Other mechanisms of how to create/use variables within OWB mapping itself ?*
    can you please provide the above details and guide me / help me in this regard.
    Thanks,
    skms.

    1. Add parameters to your mapping using the MAPPING INPUT PARAMETER from the pallette.
    2. Add parameters to the START operator in the process flow. Bind the process flow parameter to the Mapping parameter.
    3. May be appropriate to use CONSTANTS instead of parameters.
