Calculating Average Pace for a running log

I've been using Appleworks spreadsheets for my running logs for years, and am attempting to switch over to Numbers, but have run into a wall. On Appleworks, when I wanted to calculate average pace for a run , I would very simply do the following:
MILES A1= 7
DuratioN B1= 1:10:00
Average pace C1= =SUM(B1/A1)
B1 and C1 would be formatted with the choice 13:59:01 under Number formatting.
Very simple.
With IWORKNumbers, I'm getting the following error message in C1:
"the operator "/" expects a number, but cell C1 contains a date"
I have C1 set to 14:10:30 on Inspector, with Date set to NONE.
It's hard to fathom that an Appleworks spreadsheet could be superior to a Numbers one in any way, but I guess with this simple function, it is.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply, Jerry. I bought '08 back in '08, and now that I've moved up to a MB Pro, I'm finally getting around to exploring it for running logs. Unfortunaley, '08 is a bit lacking in its design--feel a bit bamboozled. If I want duration it's going to cost me for an update.
Until I do that, I'm going to try a work around as suggested. I found this formula in one of your posts:
=3600C2/(SECOND(D2)+MINUTE(D2)60 + HOUR(D2)*3600)
It gives a result in MPH. I just need to figure out how to convert the MPH into a 14:10:30 format.
Thanks again for your time and energy.

What is the formula for calculating average cost for an item in inventory

Hi,
Can someone please share the formula to calculate average cost for an item in inventory which uses Average Costing?
Thank you,
Naren.

HI
When a transaction updates the average cost of an item, the new average cost is calculated as follows:

Calculating Average stock for the given period

Hi,
I need to calculate the average stock based on given date range given by user.
Total stock is also calculating in report only. So it wil get divide by differnce between the date range.
How can we do that?

Using formula variable you can find difference between 2 dates .
-create two formula variables for 2 dates .
-create a formula to differenciate them
-create formula variable and divide that by stock it will give the average stock ..
some example ..

How to consider only values 0 when calculating Averages

Hi,
Currently, I am using Avg (table.column) function to caluclate averages. However, one of our user wants to only consider records that are >0 when calculating averages. For example if a result set as 10 records, and only 2 of them has values >0 then typically Avg function would caculate based on (sum of 10 records/10). But per our user's requirement, he wants to consider (sum of 2 records/2) and ignore the remaining 8.
Can you please tell me how to do achieve this?

I found the solution after much deliberatiion myself :-). I used the following formula instead of the AVG function and it worked.
Note that "Fact - +fact name+".column is a numeric column and can have null values.
SUM(IFNULL("Fact - +fact name+".column, 0)) / COUNT("Fact - +fact name+".column)

Item Transaction History Report - Calculation for creating 'Running Total'

Hello
Using Oracle Discoverer, we have written a report that pulls back all Inventory Transactions (by item number). This report lists both transactions IN (e.g. receipts into the store) and OUT (e.g. issues out from the store).
Our customer would like an additional column, to represent 'Running Total', to be added to the report. This column needs to capture the running 'On Hand Quantity' for the associated Item, as each transaction (both transactions IN and OUT of store) is displayed.
For example, if the initial/first transaction for an item was a Receipt of 500, then this column (on the first line) should display 500. If the second transaction for the item was an issue of 15, then this column (on the second line) should display 485. If the third transaction was for an issue of 50, then this column (on the third line) should display 435. If the fourth transaction was for a receipt of 20, then this column (on the fourth line) should display 455 etc etc
I'm not sure how I'd write a calculation to cater for this (within discoverer) - do you know if this is achievable? Any help would be much appreciated. This would be easy enough to do in Excel, but I'm a bit of a novice when it comes to discoverer(!)
Many thanks
Ross

Hi,
You can generally do this type of calculation using analytic functions. You would partition by the item number and order by the transaction date in the analytic function. You can use SUM function (with an order by) to get a running total of a column in the report. You can SUM a calculation containing a CASE statement which changes the OUT transactions to a negative number. The SUM function will start at zero, so you then can use FIRST_VALUE function to get the first value for the item which you could then add to the totals.

'Moving average price for material is negative' calculation

Hi Gurus,
I would like to ask for your assistance regarding Invoice having error of 'moving average price for material is negative'.
How is it being calculated that it goes to negative value? Can you also please give a scenario on why it became negative?
We have the following scenario:
MAP: 0.30
Total Stock: 9
Total Value: 2.74
PO raised and GR was done:
Quantity: 240
Value: 2.95
Would appreciate your assistance on issue.
Thank you.
Jih

Hi,
Please check that price of that material is increased or decreased by using transction MR21. after GRN.
You posted a valuated goods receipt for a purchasing document for a material with moving average price control.When the invoice was posted (invoice item with price variance for goods receipt), the system generates error message M8783: 'Moving average price for material & & & is negative'.
Between the posting of the original goods receipt and the entry of the invoice, the system already posted additional valuation-relevant transactions/events (goods movements, invoices and so on, can be displayed with Transaction MR51).
The invoice verification tries (for stock coverage) to credit/subsequently debit the difference between the value of goods received and invoice item value for the stock.However, the material total value must not become negative by this stock posting.
Solution
Before you post the invoice, you must first increase the stock value.
The amount by which the stock value must be increased at least can be calculated from the following values:
1. Transaction MM03, accounting view material master, field 'Total value' (MBEW-SALK3)
2. Invoice item value according to invoice
3. In the invoice verification (Transaction MR01, MR1M, MIRO), change the invoice item amount to a value which is high enough and simulate the invoice to receive the value which would be posted for this item to the GR/IR account.
In the invoice verification, the value (3) minus (2) is posted to stock. It must be larger than (1).Post a subsequent debit with the amount (3) + (1) - (2) for the affected material/plant (Transaction MR22).
You can post the invoice afterwards.
Regards.

Formula for calculating the average takings for a given day in the week?

I would like to calculate the average takings for each day of the week for a given financial year.

Rick,
I've looked at your document, made some additions and returned it to you. In your document you were not only using AVERAGE, but also MIN and MAX. Unfortunately, MIN and MAX don't have "IF" versions, so they can't be used to selectively operate on data matching criteria in a range.
What I did to accommodate the need for MIN and MAX was to add a column for each criteria, in this case the different days of the week.
In your document you also indicated the need for a Chart to graphically summarize the performance by day of the week. I rearranged your summary stats table to facilitate creating a chart from that table. I chose the mixed category chart with Bars for Min and Max and a Line for Average.
Following are Screen Shots for the modified Data table, the Stats table and the Chart:
The key expressions are:
For Monday receipts:
=IF(WEEKDAY($B)=2, $G, "")
For Monday Minimum:
=MIN(INDIRECT("Ledger::"&CHAR(70+ROW())))
You had pre-filled Column A with 3-letter abbreviations of the Days of the Week. I am not sure this is important, since you could have formatted the Date (Column B) to show the same information, but I didn't like seeing the abbreviations for days that didn't have data entered yet so I replaced the text with an expression...
=IF(LEN(B)>0, LEFT(DAYNAME(WEEKDAY(B)), 3), "")
I seems that you may have filled the table with several months worth of rows of Mon, Tue, etc. Now, if you wish, you can trim the blank rows to just a few and add more as you need them.
Let me know if you have any questions about maintaining the document.
Jerry

The frozen average base for absence is always recalculated

Hello,
I can't understand why the system in my configuration still recalculates average base for an absence which is set as frozen for the beginning day of the absense.
A person had the leave from 130809 till 030909; so the leave was divided for payroll into 2 parts - first: 130809 - 310809 for first payroll period; second: 010909 - 030909 for second. The first payroll period was calculated right; the averafe for the leave was set and frozed.
The second payroll period was calculated uncorrectly - the wage for second part of the leave was recalculated using another average base; so the frozing option doesn't work as I expected.
In the configuration the average for the leaves are calculating using data from the current month and 2 months before; so may be this kind of solution works no so good?
Earlier, I had no experiences with the frozed averages.
So, can anybody help me to analyse and solve this problem?
My best regards,
Ireneusz

Average sum for a column in ALV tree layout

Hi,
I've trying to set an average sum for a column in an ALV tree report. In the field catalog i set the DO_SUM field to 'X' and this will do a total sum, but I can't find out how in the code to do the average sum.
Also to get round this I was going to just set a default display variant with the "average" sum option saved after i had manually selected the columns and set it to this. Problem with this is that when i re-run it, the sum comes back as a total rather than an average. I have tried setting display variants on the SAP example ALV tree programs and the same thing happens.
Does anyone know how i can get round this?
Cheers
Matt.

Hi,
In addition to setting DO_SUM = 'X' you need to specify function in H_FTYPE field. It should be set to 'AVG' in your case.
ls_fielcat-do_sum = 'X'.
ls_fieldcat-h_ftype = 'AVG.

Moving average Price for Material is Negative

HI Friends,
I am doing MIRO for PO where its giving me error while posting the Invoice that
Moving average price for material is negative
Can any please help me to resolve this.
what would be the implications if the price difference is too high b/w MAP in Invoice .
Thnaks
Purna Nalluri

It is ofcourse bcoz there is price difference in the between PO and IR....
so as per the calculations the MAP becomes negative....
The formula for it is :
Difference/Current stock holding + current moving average...
Pls check you price entered at PO and IR....
There are no any implecations...excepts the price differece is reflected in the MAP of MMR....
hope it helps...

How to get the trace file name for current running application?

Hi, I want to know if it is possible to get the file name directly for current running application instance which is launched by javaws.
There is a property "deployment.user.logdir" tells the log directory, it would be great if a file name property
is available. something like "instance.trace.file".
Our application wants it because we would like our client send use the application log by clicking a "send error"
button, the codes finds the trace file and compress it and send it by using a smtp server.
In 1.5, we can do it by using a shell program.

I found other asked it before, but I tried to set both properties, but neither works. my sun JRE version :java version "1.6.0_04"
<property
name="deployment.javaws.traceFileName"
value="abcfefsfdsf"/>
<property
name="deployment.javapi.trace.filename"
value="235235235"/>
But it always write to one trace file with name lik javaws63645.trace

DS 4.2 get ECC CDHDR deltas in ABAP data flow using last run log table

I have a DS 4.2 batch job where I'm trying to get ECC CDHDR deltas inside an ABAP data flow. My SQL Server log table has an ECC CDHDR last_run_date_time (e.g. '6/6/2014 10:10:00') where I select it at the start of the DS 4.2 batch job run and then update it to the last run date/time at the end of the DS 4.2 batch job run.
The problem is that CDHDR has the date (UDATE) and time (UTIME) in separate fields and inside an ABAP data flow there are limited DS functions. For example, outside of the ABAP data flow I could use the DS function concat_date_time for UDATE and UTIME so that I could have a where clause of 'concat
_date_time(UDATE, UTIME) > last_run_date_time and concat_date_time(UDATE, UTIME) <= current_run_date_time'. However, inside the ABAP data flow the DS function concat_date_time is not available. Is there some way to concatenate UDATE + UTIME inside an ABAP data flow?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Brad

Michael,
I'm trying to concatenate date and time and here's my ABAP data flow where clause:
CDHDR.OBJECTCLAS in ('DEBI', 'KRED', 'MATERIAL')
and ((CDHDR.UDATE || ' ' || CDHDR.UTIME) > $CDHDR_Last_Run_Date_Time)
and ((CDHDR.UDATE || ' ' || CDHDR.UTIME) <= $Run_Date_Time)
Here are DS print statements showing my global variable values:
$Run_Date_Time is 2014.06.09 14:14:35
$CDHDR_Last_Run_Date_Time is 1900.01.01 00:00:01
The issue is I just created a CDHDR record with a UDATE of '06/09/2014' and UTIME of '10:48:27' and it's not being pulled in the ABAP data flow. Here's selected contents of the generated ABAP file (*.aba):
PARAMETER $PARAM1 TYPE D.
PARAMETER $PARAM2 TYPE D.
concatenate CDHDR-UDATE ' ' into ALTMP1.
concatenate ALTMP1 CDHDR-UTIME into ALTMP2.
concatenate CDHDR-UDATE ' ' into ALTMP3.
concatenate ALTMP3 CDHDR-UTIME into ALTMP4.
IF ( ( ALTMP4 <= $PARAM2 )
AND ( ALTMP2 > $PARAM1 ) ).
So $PARAM1 corresponds to $CDHDR_Last_Run_Date_Time ('1900.01.01 00:00:01') and $PARAM2 corresponds to $Run_Date_Time ('2014.06.09 14:14:35'). But from my understanding ABAP data type D is for date only (YYYYMMDD) and doesn't include time, so is my time somehow being defaulted to '00:00:00' when it gets to DS? I ask this as a CDHDR record I created on 6/6 wasn't pulled during my 6/6 testing but this 6/6 CDHDR record was pulled today.
I can get last_run_date_time and current_run_date_time into separate date and time fields but I'm not sure how to build the where clause using separate date and time fields. Do you have any recommendations or is there a better way for me to pull CDHDR deltas in an ABAP data flow using something different than a last run log table?
Thanks,
Brad

Running log on front panel

I am thinking about creating a running log on the front panel of my VI. It is bascially a string indicator. Each time I write to it in my VI, the indicator will keep what is on there, and write on the next line. To do this, I am thinking about using a shift register to preserve what is in the indicator and continue to append to it.
Is that the best approach?
Yik
Kudos and Accepted as Solution are welcome!

... since we are sharing ideas ...
I had implemented something similar to what SMercurio described, except that I used an ActionEngine. This allowed me to keep a log from any of the sub-vi's simply by "dropping in" the ActionEngine. It had additional features to enable / disable logging, select a file/folder, etc. Worked great.
Well, the core of it is an Action Engine. I just use wrapper VIs to perform certain functions. For example, there's a "Memory Log - Add Entry" VI that gets used by subVIs. That's just so I don't have to keep wiring the enum constant to specify what action to take. Gets tiresome after a while.

ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 1 of thread 1

Hi
I'm restoring a database on a different host. I have the backups, from which I want to restore the database. I made the corresponding changes in the initSID.ora file and started the script to do the restore.These are the steps I followed:
connect target=/
run{
startup nomount;
allocate channel c1 type disk;
allocate channel c2 type disk;
allocate channel c3 type disk;
allocate channel c4 type disk;
restore controlfile from '/tmp_backups/rman/lev0_open_cf_SID_2826_1';
alter database mount;
set newname for all datafiles
restore database;
set until logseq = 29317 thread = 1;
switch datafile all;
recover database;
alter database open resetlogs;
One mistake I made here is that logseq should have been last seq+1, which I did not do. I have it as last seq.
Restore of datafiles and switching of datafiles was fine. But I get error for redo log files.
ORA-00313: open failed for members of log group 1 of thread 1
ORA-00312: online log 1 thread 1: '/u13/oradata/SID/redo02a.log'

Why is it looking for at the old path yet?
I'm not sure what I missed and how to proceed. Please help.
Thanks,
Mamata

I do believe that set newname for all datafiles only means actual datafiles and no redo logs. So with open resetlogs, Oracle tries to create new redo logfiles where the backup controlfiles says they are.
As with creating a auxilliary database in another filesystem, we use DB_NAME_FILE_CONVERT and LOG_FILE_NAME_CONVERT.
I am not sure if it is possible to type "set newname for all datafiles" and expect also the redo logfiles to change location.
You might try to set these two parameters and see if it works.
good luck.
