BIG Numbers formula Questions-looking for clarity and direction

Besides a general lack of computer knowledge, here is my problem. I'll try to make it clear and easy to read.
I'm working on a spreadsheet that would organize and keep track of student's choices and payments for a ski retreat. There are 4 checkbox columns for their choices (ticket, ski rental, board rental, tubing). All of these have different costs associated with them, in addition to the basic cost for the retreat.
Using basic arithmetic and an IF formula in the header column I can calculate each student's Total Cost.
=Retreat Cost+(IF(Lift Ticket,TRUE)*50+IF(Ski Rentals,TRUE)*30+(IF(Snowboard Rental,TRUE)*50+(IF(Tubing Tickets,TRUE)*35)))-the (*number is the cost)
This works, although it does return the error that the formula returns a Boolean in place of a number. If there is no easier way to write my formula, how do I turn off that warning-I can't take the glaring reminder of a mistake!
Students need to turn in a deposit, generally set at $50. Using a Deposit column with checkboxes, I worked out how much a student owes after their deposit. Once I check the box, their Balance shows Total Cost minus the general $50.
=Total Cost-(IF(Deposit,TRUE)*50)
Occasionally a student will overpay or underpay their deposit, and right now I'm just going in and manually trying to readjust. I just can't figure out any other option.
I'd like to keep track of how much money is coming in. Currently this is my formula.
=SUM(COUNTIF(Students :: Deposit,TRUE)*50+SUMIF(Students :: Paid,TRUE,Students :: Balance))
My main issue really comes down to the varying deposits. If someone pays $60, I have to check the box, subtract 10 from their balance and add 10 to the student payments. I also wanted the Balance column show "0" once the Paid column was checked, but that was definitely out of my skill set!
Also, I'm going to try to paste a screen shot. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm new to working with numbers (1 week baby!) and honestly, the vast majority of my knowledge has come from reading the message board, so thanks!

=Retreat Cost+(IF(Lift Ticket,TRUE)*50+IF(Ski Rentals,TRUE)*30+(IF(Snowboard Rental,TRUE)*50+(IF(Tubing Tickets,TRUE)*35)))-the (*number is the cost)
I would change it to somehting more like this...
=Retreat Cost+(IF(Lift Ticket,1,0)*50)+(IF(Ski Rentals,1,0)*30)+(IF(Snowboard Rental,1,0)*50)+(IF(Tubing Tickets,1,0)*35))
(This last part I don't get at all... >-the (*number is the cost))
The form for an if is If(Test,True,False) meaning if the TEST is true then answer whatever replaces the word true in the description. I think you thought you had to type true. Common mistake if you haven't used them before.
Look at one of my If's...
IF(Lift Ticket,1,0)*50
If the lift ticket box is checked, then answer 1 and multiply by 50, if not answer 0 and multiply by 50, taking that cost to zero.
Just repeat for each cost and your done...
Does that help get you on the right track?

    The password is set on the WiFi router providing the service, by the owner of the network to prevent unwanted "guests" accessing the network.  The only way to know it is to ask the owner permission to use the network.  Otherwise, you  have to find a free WiFi hotspot that doesn't require a password.

    System files are hidden by default in Finder now, search for what you want then click the little + button on the top right of the bar that appears when you do a search. A new bar comes up and click the first box (that says "Kind"), change it to "System Files". Then change the box that says "aren't included" to "are included" and your file should show up.

  • Found a burned chip.  Looking for name and type.

    Hello again, AMB group. I looked for similar pictures/ posts, but I did not find something with the detail here. Anyway, I've got a problem where my hard drive won't even spin up (seems like no power to the drive) but everything else checks out fine on the logic board. Micromat TT and the Hardware Test disk give it OKs. So I went through the process of taking out the logic board looking for problems, and I've found a super duper one. Here is a link to the picture of the burned chip, located right below the processor.
    http://fs6.depauw.edu:50080/~jonathanstack/burnedchip.jpg
    I've ordered a couple bad logic boards, hoping one of them will have a salvageable chip. But I'm wondering if this is a programmed, proprietary chip, or if I can get one from Newark or something. I think I will take it to an electronics shop to have them solder the new chip on; I don't have a micro soldering iron.
    Look forward to any thoughts on replacing the chip. Of course replacing the logic board is a possibility, but you can see this might be cheaper, because a bad logic board runs less than $15 usually.
    Bye for now,
    JG

    Hi J,
    Have you tried a different HD and/or tried this HD in an enclosure or another PB? Obviously that chip looks bad, but the motor mechanism or the electronics on the HD could be bad, having nothing to do with the chip.
    Was everything working fine (all ports etc.) before this?
    Regarding the chip itself: if the HD checks out ok, the chip should be an interesting proposition. I can't recall ever hearing of anyone replacing any soldered on part of a logic board. Even for certified repair shops, the "fix" is to replace the LB, and faulty boards are sent to specialized repair centers with the specialized equipment to tackle the job. I hope you are successful and will post back with results. Good luck.

  • Vista looking for drivers and BSODs

    I bought a 3TB MyCloud device a few months ago. I cannot get it to work properly with my Windows Vista desktop and support refused to help. They remoted in and accessed the device without using their software and claimed it was a Windows problem, not theirs. When I connect the device directly to my Ubee Wireless Router/Switch, Windows Vista immediately sees it as new hardware and tries to find drivers for it. Of course WD does not provide these. In Device Manager, it shows up under Other Devices with a warning indicator because there are no drivers installed. I was able to copy files to the device, but when I try to access them from the device, my Windows Vista desktop gets a BSOD (this happened after the call to support). I've now disconnected the device from my network as the constant BSODs damaged my computer. The device works with my Windows 8.1 computer, but has problems with my Sony Blu-Ray player connected wirelessly to the network. I've posted about this in a different thread. Is there a way to get this working properly with Windows Vista?

    Bennor wrote:
    The BSOD that other thread talks about appears to be related to using one of the WD apps, my guess is the WD My Cloud Desktop app on their Windows PC. There is a known issue for some who use the WD My Cloud Desktop app where once that app is opened, some users experience Windows Explorer crashing. There is one or two other threads covering this very specific Windows Explorer crashing issue related to that WD My Cloud Desktop app that affects a few users. Generally one does not need to install "drivers" to access the WD My Cloud. One should be able to access the WD My Cloud on their local network via Windows Explorer (NOT Internet Explorer). It will show up in the "Network Neighborhood" or under "Network". If it is not showing up under Network then check the network settings on both the Vista PC, ensuring it has the same Network Name/Network Workgroup (typically "workgroup") that the WD My Cloud uses under "Settings -> Network -> Network Workgroup". The other recommended suggestion is to configure the WD My Cloud for a static IP. Either within the WD My Cloud administration UI or within one's router/gateway. Both the Vista PC and the WD My Cloud should be in the same IP address subnet (for example both should have an IP address in the 192.168.1.x range). If you have not done so read through the WD My Cloud User Manual in particular "Using Windows XP/Vista/Windows 7" under "Getting to the Public Share" for the general procedure of accessing the WD My Cloud shared folders with Windows Explorer on Windows Vista.You and I are worlds apart on this issue. Your solution doesn't relate to my problem. I did not have a problem getting to or seeing the device in Vista. There were two problems and I believe I've cured both of them, though I don't know how. Problem 1: Vista keeps asking for drivers. When I connected the device to my network, Vista would see the device and try to locate drivers as if it had found a new printer. It couldn't find any so I had to close the driver request windows without finding drivers. The device then would show up in Device Manager under Other Devices with a yellow exclamation mark indicating the drivers were not loaded correctly. After several BSODs (for a different issue), I ran SFC and CHKDSK on my computer. Neither program found a problem. Then when I tried to connect the device again, Vista started looking for drivers and I walked away from the computer for the evening. When I had come back, it said the drivers were loaded. In Device Manager, Vista shows a new device category named "Western Digital NAS" with two devices installed: My Cloud Network Media Server and My Cloud Network Storage. The driver problem is now solved but I don't know how. Problem 2: Files I had loaded onto the shares to learn how to use the device can be seen in Windows Explorer. That was never a problem. However, as soon as I clicked on a file, the screen would scramble and then BSOD. This only occurred with files loaded onto the MyCloud device. After some blue screens, I started up into Safe Mode with Networking. I was able to click on the files without crashing, though Media Player wouldn't play them or even start in Safe Mode. I then did a clean boot and it tested okay. As I added items in MSCONFIG, the problem would not recur. There was one item that prevented me from even setting MSCONFIG to do a normal startup, and that was Kaspersky Internet Security 2015. Not only that, but I couldn't start the software at all. I did a complete removal of Kaspersky and then reinstalled it. I no longer have any BSODs. Both issues, as mysterious as they were, have mysteriously been resolved. I have a DLNA issue, but that's in another post. I also have a new issue with the WD My Cloud desktop app but I don't need to use that and if I do, I'll start a new discussion.

  • Regex question - looking for numbers only

    I'm getting a bit stuck with a simple regular expression.
    I want to find the records that consist of numbers only. From the example below, I'm looking for just the first record, which has '1234'.
    I tried looking for digits, but not alphabetic, but that doesn't work.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks.
    drop table test_regex;
    create table test_regex as (
    select '1234' col1 from dual
    union all
    select 'abcde' col1 from dual
    union all
    select 'a1b3c3' col1 from dual
    union all
    select '123c3' col1 from dual
    union all
    select 'a_*1' col1 from dual
    union all
    select '  9  ' col1 from dual
    union all
    select '    ' col1 from dual
    select *
    from test_regex
    where REGEXP_LIKE(col1, '[[:digit:]][^[:alpha:]]')
    /

    Something like this?
    WITH t AS (SELECT '1234' col1
                 FROM DUAL
                UNION ALL
               SELECT 'abcde' col1
                 FROM DUAL
                UNION ALL
               SELECT 'a1b3c3' col1
                 FROM DUAL
                UNION ALL
               SELECT '123c3' col1
                 FROM DUAL
                UNION ALL
               SELECT 'a_*1' col1
                 FROM DUAL
                UNION ALL
               SELECT '  9  ' col1
                 FROM DUAL
                UNION ALL
               SELECT '    ' col1
                 FROM DUAL)
    SELECT t.col1
      FROM t
    WHERE REGEXP_LIKE(t.col1, '^[[:digit:]]+$')

  • Question: Looking for honest Opinions, Audiophile answers!

    I am interested in purchasing a PCIE audiophile sound card (for speaker/headset listed below), i have been using only on board sound on all my builds but i am interested in giving it a try for watching videos and gaming/ listening to music while gaming (overall better enjoyment/experience)
    <font>Asus Xonar STX VS <font>Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD
    Personally speaking i dont care for audio recording ect or voice changing options, i have heard the Creative card (Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD) is great for gaming and voice communication while gaming.
    There is a deal right now for the "Creative Sound Blaster X-Fi Titanium HD" <font>For $9 + freeshipping, I beli've it has an amplifier, but i do enjoy using headphones while gaming and on ventrillo ect with friends (and as far as i can see the amplifier does not work on headphones?) with the creative.
    Asus Xonar STX specifically states it has a headphone amplifier, and am curious the difference in sound from anyone who has heard or tried either of the two.
    I am currently using somewhat meh speakers and a somewhat decent but not TOP/Highest quality headphones
    Speakers: Creative T20 2.0 Speakers
    HeadPhone: Creative Fatality MkII Headset
    I dont plan on purchasing new speakers or headphones, the speakers are never really used for blasting sound, usually use my headphones due to living close to neighbors.
    My main question is the quality difference, especially on headphones, does the amp on the headphones really make a huge difference
    The only thing i have against the creative card is that it has no amp for headphones i believe, i am curious how crap my headphones would sound on creative compared to the asus, if any?
    Headphone specs:

    Not that it really matters for your phones; 32 Ohms will run on anything?
    In terms of volume - yes. But in terms of quality and proper prequency response - no. In fact its harder to dri've low impedance HP than high. And Titanium HD is better at this than ASUS's card.
    Still its a good idea to upgrade headphones to something better.

    If the card isn't shielded, you'll still hear activity on your video card as a buzzing whine in the background anyway
    Titanium HD
    Isn't shielded (Creative never advertised this as an EMI shield), and still I cant hear any noise from card's jack. All this EMI shielding is just another marketing BS. Almost all interference comes from power sources and from ground. This must be dealt with apropriate voltage regulators and capacitors. And Creative has done this job. I was able to hear buzz produced by video card under heavy load only from computer chassis front panel jack. In typical PC chassis metal works as shared ground for all internal components and "absorbs" all "dirt". Cutting ground connection from front panel jack to chassis metal parts solved this problem.

    It sounds like a runaway process is filling up your volume.
    Boot in safe mode. First, disconnect all wired peripherals except keyboard, mouse, and monitor, if applicable, and remove all aftermarket expansion cards. The instructions provided by Apple are as follows:
    Be sure your Mac is shut down.
    Press the power button.
    Immediately after you hear the startup tone, hold the Shift key. The Shift key should be held as soon as possible after the startup tone, but not before the tone.
    Release the Shift key when you see the gray Apple icon and the progress indicator (looks like a spinning gear).
    The login screen appears even if you usually log in automatically. You must know your login password in order to log in. If you’ve forgotten the password, you will need to reset it before you begin.
    Safe mode is much slower to boot and run than normal, and some things won’t work at all, including your login items.
    Use a tool such as the one linked below to explore your volume and find out what's taking up the space:

  • Looking for D7000 and Tokina 11-16mm Lens Profile

    I would think by now someone would have posted this lens profile but I can't find it for the life of me, sorry. I am sure this has been discussed to death but I have downloaded the lens profile creator (haven't figured out how to use it yet) and the Adobe Lens Profile Downloader (doesn't seem to have any third party lens data for the D7000). Any help would be great.
    On a side note I am also looking for a lens profile for the Pro-Optic 8mm f/3.5 fisheye, which I knew would be even harder to find, but if anyone has either of those I would greatly appreciate a link to download the profile. Thanks, Scott

    There are only Nikon brand lenses in the dB, nothing from Tokina, and nothing for the 11-16mm.

  • Looking for Bookmark and Logon info replacements for similar win apps.

    switching from pc to mac...
    I used Favorites for bookmarks and RoboForm to fill in logon info. I need to find a new approach...I use a combination of macs and pcs AND IPHONE 3G.
    For bookmarks, a web based service sounds logical. It looks like del.icio.us is one of the best...it seems to be featured on many web sites, easy to use, works across all platforms and browsers. Do anyone have any comments or other suggestions?
    For logon info, I am thinking of 1Password mainly because they have an IPHONE 3G client. Any comments or suggestions?
    It would be nice if one web based applicaton could do both, but I have not found one.
    Thanks
    bob

    If you're switching from using a PC to a Mac, then you don't need to synchronize any bookmarks; you can just keep them in your browser, like nearly everyone else. Why reinvent the wheel when the one you have works perfectly well?
    As for 1Password, it's the best tool of it's type out there.
