APPLEWORKS SPREADSHEET TIME CALCULATION

CAN YOU CALCULATE TIME IN AN APPLEWORKS SPREADSHEET APPLICATION, I.E. I WANT TO SUBTRACT AN END TIME IN 1 COLUMN FROM A START TIME IN ANOTHER COLUMN TO DETERMINE THE TOTAL TIME? E.G, 9:15 - 9:10 = 5 MINUTES.

Hi PW...
Welcome to Apple discussions and the AppleWorks forum.
If your MacBook is still under warranty, you might want to get that sticky CAPS LOCK key fixed. Most of us have reasonably good hearing here, so there's no need to SHOUT.
Calculations with time are (more or less) the same as with any other numbers.
For your example:
Start time in A1: 9:10
Stop time in B1: 9:15
Formula in C1: =B1-A1
The result is displayed in C1.
But that display might not be what you expected.
The default Number format setting (Number: General) will show the number in scientific notation (3.4722222e-3) if the cell width has not been changes since opening the spreadsheet.
If the cell is wide enough to display AW's maximum 11 significant digits plus the decimal and the zero placeholder before the decimal, the number will be shown in standard (decimal) notation (0.00347222222)
If Number format for the cell has been set to time, the result will show as one of the following 4 examples, depending which Time format has been chosen.
12:05 AM
12:05:00 AM
0:05
0:05:00
The third of these seems most suitable to your needs. To set the number format of a group of cells, select the cells, then go to the Format menu and choose Number... (or press shift-command-N). In the Number format dialogue, click the Time radio button, then use the menu beside that button to choose 13:59. Then click OK.
To set the format for a single cell, you may also open the dialogue by double-clicking the cell.
If you want to display the result as "5 minutes", that's possible, using a more complicated formula, but has the disadvantage that the result is a mix of numbers and text, which can make it not useable in further calculations.
=ROUND(((B1-A1)2460),0)&" minutes"

  • AppleScript & AppleWorks Spreadsheet

    For years I have been using AppleWorks spreadsheets on my Quadra (ease-of-use, nostalgia, old habits die hard, etc.). After eventually deciding to transfer some of them to my G5 and work with them (as well as creating new ones) in a newer and faster environment, I started fiddling around with using AppleScript to automate some of the repetitive tasks within each document, especially for the new ones. One task appears to have either no solution or a particularly well-hidden one. Except for the example given here, all the other scripting is working to my satisfaction.
    The relevant part of the script is:
    tell application "AppleWorks 6"
        activate
        make new document at front with properties {document kind:SS}
        tell spreadsheet of document 1
            select menu item "Display…" of menu "Options"
        end tell
    end tell
    The line "select menu item "Display…" of menu "Options" brings up a window as pictured here.
    I would like to be able to use AppleScript to uncheck the checkboxes labelled "Row Headings" and "Column Headings" so that the whole script (of which this is only a small part), can run without ANY manual intervention. So far, no luck. The arrow keys and tab key (with and without modifier keys) have no effect within this window. If you hold down the command key for a a few seconds, the window displays command-key equivalents for the checkboxes, as pictured here;
    Turning on GUI scripting by enabling access for assistive devices in System Preferences and using calls to System Events with various permutations of the "keystroke" command had no effect. To try to discover if the items in the window were actually UI elements and of what type, I used the "get entire contents of window ... " approach, which worked beautifully in the main document window. The calls I used, inserted after the line ""select menu item "Display…" of menu "Options" and before the two "end tell" lines, were:
    tell application "System Events"
         tell process "AppleWorks 6"
              get entire contents of window 1          -- each of these four lines,
              get entire contents of window 2          -- and other various similar attempts, was used by itself
              get every item of window 1               -- (all included consecutively here to save space)
              get every UI element of window "Display"
         end tell
    end tell
    The line "get entire contents of window 1" only took effect once the "Display" window had been dismissed, and then it quite happily returned the contents of the main document window. The others returned either: "System Events got an error: NSReceiverEvaluationScriptError: 4" or "System Events got an error: Can't make every item of window 1 of process "AppleWorks 6" into type reference."
    My guess is that the window "Display" is a modal dialog which is not letting anything else happen until it is dismissed. In the script, the next command after "select menu item "Display…" of menu "Options" waits until the window has been dismissed.
    I have also tried saving the document (once the row and column headings have been hidden) as a spreadsheet template. That ALMOST achieved what I wanted. The new spreadsheet template shows up in Starting Points as "Spreadsheet" with the previous (pre-defined) template being renamed to "Standard SS". When clicking on the new template in Starting Points, a new SS document opens up with the row and column headings hidden, but when a new SS document is created using AppleScript, it uses the pre-defined template (headings not hidden). So near yet so far!
    If anybody has any suggestions, tricks and workarounds for both AppleScript and AppleWorks, I am willing to try them out.
    If I can't get this (small) part of the script to work without having to use the mouse or keyboard, then it's not the end of the world. But I do like sitting back and watching the computer do what it is good at - repetitive tasks, etc. - from start to finish.
    - - -    break for food and thought   - - -
    While not having found the reason for AppleScript's inability to access the "Display" window, I have worked out a way to achieve what I want. Even though the AppleScript command "make new document at front with properties {document kind:SS}" causes AppleWorks to ignore the customized template document and use the original, pre-defined one, the following routine makes a copy of the customized template document, converts it from a stationery document (template), renames it and opens it.
    tell application "Finder"
         set TemplateCopy to duplicate file "AppleWorks SS Options.cws" of folder "Templates" of folder "Starting Points" of folder "AppleWorks 6" of folder "Applications" of startup disk to desktop
         set stationery of TemplateCopy to false
         set NewFileName to "My spreadsheet.cwk"
         set the name of TemplateCopy to NewFileName
         open file NewFileName
    end tell
    One other approach which might have led somewhere was to explore the ability to prevent row and column headings from printing, even if they are displayed on screen. Scripting the print end of things may not have been easy, if possible at all, and would have required much more complexity in scripting. Also, I would prefer the screen display to match what is going to be printed.
    The end result I wanted has been achieved, although using a different approach than I expected. Given the legacy status of AppleWorks 6 and its oddities of behaviour with AppleScript (even though much functionality was added and many bugs fixed from version 5), I doubt that the original approach will ever work, although if anybody has some ideas/knowledge, etc., I am willing to listen.

    Scripting printing in AppleWorks 
    As a spin-off from my efforts described above, I think I have found a way of using AppleScript to save documents from AppleWorks as PDF's. At the moment the script is pretty wordy and maybe not as efficient as it could be, but it works (almost 100% of the time).
    In the Print dialog, the tab key can be used to move between the various elements in the dialog. Depending on which one has been arrived at after each press of the tab key, you can select and do various things by using the space key, up and down arrow keys and the return key. I'm not sure if they can all be consistently emulated using the keystroke command from within System Events, as here I have restricted myself to just the tab, down arrow and return keys.
    When the Print command is issued (via keystroke "p" using command down), the Print dialog opens up.
    On my system, the number of copies is highlighted by default when the Print dialog opens and by pressing the tab key five times the PDF button is selected (although it's not all that obvious). The down arrow then activates the dropdown menu - press it again and the first item in that menu is highlighted. Press Return and that item is accepted and the Save dialog comes up.
    On my system it takes one press of the tab key with shift down to move "back" from the Save As text field to the Save button (originally I had been using ten presses of tab in the "forward" direction), at which point Return selects it and the document is saved as a PDF. As with the Print dialog, the arrow keys, space key and Return can all be used to do/select various things along the way.
    In the script I have inserted a number of delays to give things time to happen. Originally they were longer and allowed me to observe what was being selected at each emulated press of the tab key. Those that are one second or longer need, at least on my system, to remain fairly long otherwise I get errors such as "connection not valid" and the script hanging to the point where the only way out was to force quit. I would assume that  some things are timing-dependent and need a specific amount of time before the next action can be performed. If anybody tries my script and finds odd things happening, I would suggest lengthening the delay times as the first thing to try. Also, on various System versions, there might be a difference in the number of tab presses required to move from the default highlighted attribute to the PDF and Save buttons.
    The script as it stands at the moment requires at least one AppleWorks document to be open (and checks for that to avoid an error at the start). It could be modified to be a droplet (and possibly open only one document at a time from those dropped onto it, as AppleWorks would have a limit of how many documents it could have open concurrently), but I will get around to doing that later on.
    The script itself:
    tell application "AppleWorks 6"
        activate
        set HowManyDocs to count of documents
        if HowManyDocs > 0 then
            set DocNames to name of every document
            repeat with CounterA from 1 to HowManyDocs
                try
                    set ThisDoc to (item CounterA of DocNames)
                    select document ThisDoc
                    tell application "System Events"
                        tell process "AppleWorks 6"
                            keystroke "p" using command down -- brings up Print dialog
                            delay 0.1
                            tell window "Print"
                                delay 1 --  or longer
                                repeat with CounterB from 1 to 5
                                    keystroke tab -- tabs through to PDF Button
                                    delay 0.1
                                end repeat
                                key code 125 -- down arrow - selects PDF dropdown menu           
                                delay 0.1
                                key code 125 -- down arrow - selects first item in PDF dropdown menu
                                delay 0.1
                                keystroke return -- accepts selection and brings up Save dialog
                                delay 1
                                keystroke tab using shift down -- tabs back 1 to Save button
                                delay 0.1
                                keystroke return -- "presses" Save button
                                delay 2 --  or longer
                            end tell
                        end tell
                    end tell
                end try
                close document ThisDoc -- closes each document after it is "printed" to PDF
            end repeat
        else
            display dialog "You have no AppleWorks documents open." & return & "Open some and then run this script again."

  • Scripting AppleWorks Spreadsheet

    I am trying to write a script to create an Appleworks Spreadsheet document with various characteristics and content, going one step at a time.
    So far I have been able to create the document and name it via AppleScript, using the following:
    tell application "AppleWorks 6"
    activate
    make new document at front with properties {name:"NewDoc123", document kind:SS}
    end tell
    As an occasional user of AppleScript it took me a while (don't laugh) to get the "document kind:SS" bit right. Once I saw the potential of "with properties" I thought it must be possible to specify the number of columns and rows. To give myself some clues on the grammar/syntax/formatting, etc. I saved a SS document and did a "get properties" using AppleScript. To my dismay, it provided information only on the following properties:
    class, name, index, displayed name, name extension, extension hidden, container, disk, position, bounds, kind, label index, locked, description, comment, size, physical size, creation date, modification date, icon, URL, owner, group, owner privileges, group privileges, everyones privileges, file type, creator type, stationery, product version, version.
    It did not have any mention of the rows and columns, unless that is hidden somehow in the bounds and size properties.
    Is it actually possible to specify the number or rows and columns, or am I barking up the wrong tree? Viewing the AppleWorks dictionary I have seen references to "data bounds", "object specifier", and "named range". These seem to be tantalizing hints of maybe what I am looking for. However, I cannot find anything anywhere which tells me how to use them, not even an example script.
    Quadra 700 - sys 7.0.1•, PowerMac 9500/200 - sys 9.2.2, Beige G3 MT - sys 10.3.9.    

    Even though it's not quite the method I was envisaging, it achieves the desired result and is plenty quick enough, plus there is some visual effect to "keep the troops entertained". This will certainly enable me to proceed further. Thanks a million.
    Your additions to my script appeared to be missing a line, but I had no trouble understanding what you were explaining, and added a line so that it reads:
    tell application "AppleWorks 6"
    activate
    make new document at front with properties {name:"NewDoc123", document kind:SS}
    tell spreadsheet of document 1
    -- Note that the name contains an ellipsis (option-colon) and not three periods.
    select (rows 10 thru 500) -- this is the extra line I inserted
    select menu item "Delete Cells…" of menu "Format"
    select (columns 5 thru 40)
    select menu item "Delete Cells…" of menu "Format"
    select cell "A1"
    end tell
    end tell
    Without the extra line, the script brought up the dialog asking which way to shift cells.
    The only drawback I can see in this method is that it relies on a default AppleWorks Spreadsheet always being 40 columns by 500 rows. If the default ever gets changed, there would have to be some error-checking lines inserted to check for range errors.

    Welcome to the forum!!
    Please read {message:id=9360002} from the FAQ to know the list of details (WHAT and HOW) you need to specify when asking a question.
    I primarily hate 3 things in your code
    1. The way you have used BULK update which is totally unnecessary
    2. COMMIT inside LOOP
    3. The use of WHEN OTHERS exception.
    Your code can be simplified like this
    create or replace procedure my_proc
    is
       v_start_time timestamp;
       v_end_time   timestamp;
       v_rowcnt     integer;
    begin
       for c1 in (
                     select rownum tab_no
                          , tablename
                          , type
                       from table_list
       loop
          sql_string := q'[
                                  merge into #tablename# a
                                  using (
                                          select id, dt
                                            from emp_base
                                        ) b
                                     on (
                                          a.empkey = b.empkey
                                    when matched then
                                        update set a.id = b.id;
          sql_string := replace(sql_string, '#tablename#', c1.tablename);
          v_start_time := systimestamp;
          execute immediate sql_string;
          v_end_time   := systimestamp;
          v_rowcnt     := sql%rowcount;
          insert into exec_time
               values
                    c1.tab_no || ' ' || c1.tablename
                  , v_start_time
                  , v_end_time
                  , v_end_time - v_start_time
                  , v_rowcnt
       end loop;
       commit;
    end; In the INSERT statement on the table EXEC_TIME try to include the column list.
    NOTE: The above code is untested.

  • How is Processing time calculated in Simulation

    Hi,
    How is processing time calculated for every simulation-relevant object?
    say for example,
    i have 2 objects of person type (p1 and p1)
    4 human tasks (T1, T2, T3, T4)
    T1 assigned to p1, processing time 2hrs
    T2 assigned to p1, processing time 2hrs
    T3 assigned to p2, processing time 2hrs
    T4 assigned to p2, processing time 2hrs
    start --&gt; T1(p1) --&gt; T2(p1) --&gt; T3(p2) --&gt; T4(p2) --&gt; end
    Have not set any other simualtion parameters. now,
    * Duration for simulation is set to 6hrs,
    T1, T2, and T3 are getting processes once, but start event is getting processed twice
    # Why is start event getting processed second time?
    # Will this take any processing time..
    * Duration for simulation set to 7hrs,
    start event and T1 gets processed 2 times, T2 and T3 once..
    and the total processing time becomes *8hrs*..
    # At wht point of time does the second processing of T1 start.
    # If it is not after after the completion of one full process cycle, in this case, why not the second processing start at the end # of 2nd hour, or 4th hour.
    Thanks,
    Vishnupriya

    Hi Vishnupriya,
    "Why is start event getting processed second time?"Can you check the "Frequency" attribute of your start event? There you can specify how often the process will be triggered.
    "At wht point of time does the second processing of T1 start."You should be able to check it in the Processes (det.). It provides an overview regarding the process instances started during the simulation run. Furthermore you can check the Events (det.) category.
    Best regards,
    Danilo

  • Ess Leave  Request -Change in Time calculation without changing work schedu

    Hi All,
    We are implementing a ESS Leave Request in EP6 with backend HR ECC5.0.
    The time calculation is taken  from the Work schedule rule in
    HR backend which is 24*7.
    For example if the leave taken is for 2 days-systems calculates as 24*2=48 hrs
    but in actual the requirement is to calculate 2*8 =16 hrs without changing
    the Work Schedule in 2001 infotype in HR Backend.
    Can we do this change through

  • Appleworks spreadsheet  e-mail to  a PC?

    Is is possible for me to send an Appleworks spreadsheet to a person with a PC? I've tried "save as" with 2 different names that looked like Excel and my friend can't open either one.

    Thanks! I am using Appleworks 6.2.9. I tried "save as Excel Win 5 spreadsheet" and "save as Excel Win 97, 2000, XP2002 spr". My friend could not open it either way. I did not add .xls because it showed up automatically. Since I first posted, she sent me a spreadsheet she created and I could easily open hers. The icon and .xls endings on my desktop for hers and mine look exactly the same. Mine does not look like that on her end. I'll try typing in .xls and see if that works.

  • Scout: Too much time calculating dirty regions

    Hi All,
    Frist of all, sorry for my English.
    I have a problem with my AIR App, I'm developing for Android and iOS. In iOS works perfectly but on Android the performance is poor.
    I checked with Scout and this is what i see:
    I don't understand why it spends so much time calculating dirty regions but I didn't change anything on the DisplayList.
    Edit: AS you can see in the screen the frames are 13 but in the next frames is over 200 frames and that repeats.
    Can someone tell me how to interpret this results?
    Thanks a lot.

    The feature you are referring to exists in Logic but not in GarageBand (yet?). It is called the Marquee Tool that lets you drag a selection, and when hitting the delete key, that section of the Region(s) will be deleted, and the remaining part of the Region on the right will be moved to the left to close the gap (if you you have set the Drag Mode to "Shuffle L").
    Hope that helps

  • Appleworks spreadsheet to Numbers problems

    I'm trying to convert an Appleworks spreadsheet to Numbers. When Numbers opens it, a couple charts with line graphs do not show all the data. There are 8 series in the original, but in Numbers, only 6 of the series are shown on the charts (line graphs). If I change the chart style to 3D line graph, all 8 series are then visible, but I'd rather have just a 2D graph. Trying to create a new chart from the data table does the same thing. It's the two series of data at the bottom of the table (ie. last two rows) that aren't showing up. What's going on; how do I get all the data to display? Thanks.

    Barry,
    Here are screen shots of one of the tables with its chart selected, the chart in 2D and 3D. Sorry it's so hard to read; it's a large table. Thanks.

  • Warning Time calculation "Before Aggregation" is obsolete

    Hi,
    Recently in our project we have upgraded BW 3.0B to BI7.
    After upgrade to BI7,  when we run some of the reports we are getting a warning message as below -
    Warning Time calculation "Before Aggregation" is obsolete.
    Pls refer to the attachment.
    Any of our satyam colleagues encounter this warning, if so what was the solution you applied.
    Note : I found some notes in Forum like saying use ' Exception Aggregation' for the Before Aggregation.. etc etc., but my problem is in our project thre are many CKFs are there which are using 'Before Aggregation'.
    Please let me know if you have any other alternatives.
    Thanks !!!!!!!!!

    Hi,
    Try SAP notes 935903.
    Symptom
    Calculated Key Figures "Existance Indicator" with aggregation behaviour "Before Aggregation" will get now with NW 2004s warning popup "Time of calculation 'Before Aggregation' is obsolete" during execution.
    this may be helpful.
    thanks,

  • Opening an AppleWorks spreadsheet in Pages.

    Hi, there !
    I am puzzled. I am trying to open an AppleWorks (6.2.9) made spreadsheet with Pages and cannot. Pages does not seem to acknowledge my AppleWorks document. When I launch Pages and try to open the desired file, it does not allow me to select the file (listed but not selectable). What is evenmore puzzling is that the same procedure worked fine with wordprocessing AppleWorks documents ! So here is my question : how do I get Pages to open an AppleWorks spreadsheet document ?
    Thanks,
    iMac 700 PPC G3 SE   Mac OS X (10.4.7)   512 Mo, Airport.

    Olivier,
    I can understand why this might puzzle you. Pages will open AppleWorks word processing docs, but it will not open AppleWorks spreadsheet docs. While Pages offers a few formulae to allow limited spreadsheet functionality, it doesn't have a true spreadsheet module like AppleWorks does.
    Having said that, iWork '07 will likely be released next Tuesday at MacWorld San Francisco, and it's possible it will have a true spreadsheet application bundled with it.

  • How do you open an Appleworks spreadsheet (.wks) in Numbers?

    Is it possible to open an Appleworks spreadsheet (.wks) in Numbers?  If it is not possible is there a file converter out there somewhere?.  The oiriginal spreadsheet was created in 2004 on a MacBook running Appleworks.

    Numbers '09 (but not Numbers 3.1) should be able to open an AppleWorks spreadsheet that was saved in AppleWorks running on a MacBook. That file would have the extension .cwk, though.
    .wks is the extension for Microsoft Works, and I don't know of anything else that opens those files.

  • Importing AppleWorks Spreadsheet Into OpenOffice.

    I would like to know if it is possible to import an AppleWorks spreadsheet into OpenOffice.
    If so, does anyone have an idiot's guide on how to do it?

    In AW save the spread sheet as an Excel 98 document. Open it by dragging the new doc to the Open Office icon.

  • Appleworks Spreadsheet Character Limit

    Is there anyway to get around the 256 character limit in each of the cells in Appleworks spreadsheet?

    No.
    But if you need to put more than 255 characters in a box, perhaps the spreadsheet is not the right tool. Have you considered using a database document? The DB can hold about a thousand characters in a field.
