Calculating Equivalent of Excel's CUMPRINC

Are there any core classes that would help to calculate the equivalent of Excel's CUMPRINC function?
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel/HP052090391033.aspx

There's nothing in the core API that will give that directly, but you might be able to find a 3rd party financial library that will, or just spend a few minutes writing the code yourself.

Numbers equivalent to Excel DMAX?

Hiya folks!
Is there a Numbers equivalent to Excel's DMAX function (as described here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/excel-help/dcount-HP005209049.aspx)? I'm looking to create a price book and would like essentially two tables. The first table will record my items, their price, store, and date. The second table I would like to show the lowest price and location for each item in the first table. So, for example, if my first table has the following:
Item
Price
Date
Store
Apple
1.00
1/2/13
Walmart
Orange
2.00
1/2/13
Walmart
Apple
1.50
1/3/13
Smiths
Orange
1.75
1/3/13
Smiths
Then I'd like my second table to display:
Item
Price
Date
Store
Apple
1.00
1/2/13
Walmart
Orange
1.75
1/3/13
Smiths
Alternatively, if anyone has some suggestions on how I can accomplish this, that'd be great!
Thanks!
Jess

If you add an index column to your data table (here named 'Table 1') then you can do something like this, using INDEX MATCH, with MATCH set to find the smallest value.
Table 1
Item
Price
Date
Store
Index
Apple
1.00
1/2/13
Walmart
Apple|001.00
Orange
2.00
1/2/13
Walmart
Orange|002.00
Apple
1.50
1/3/13
Smiths
Apple|001.50
Apple
0.99
1/3/13
Mars
Apple|000.99
Orange
1.75
1/3/13
Smiths
Orange|001.75
Lowest
Item
Price
Date
Store
Apple
0.99
1/3/13
Mars
Orange
1.75
1/3/13
Smiths
The formula in E2 of 'Table 1':
=A2&"|"&RIGHT("0000000"&B2,6)
This simply concatenates the item name and price, padding the price with leading zeros.
The formula in B2 of 'Lowest', copied right and down, is:
=INDEX(Table 1::B,MATCH($A2,Table 1::$E,-1))
The -1 argument in MATCH means 'find smallest value'.
Here is a screenshot of the formula that may or may not display here:
Once MATCH figures out the row number in 'Table 1' the INDEX function retrieves the values there.
In column A of 'Lowest' you need to manually enter a list of distinct "fruits" with spelling that matches the names in 'Table 1'. If you have many names and need a way to automate that step there is an Automator Service that makes it easy to extract distinct values from a column. Post if you need that.

Equivalent of Excel Goal Seek in Numbers

I'm looking for the equivalent of Excel Goal Seek in Numbers for iPad. Any thoughts on finding or creating this?

Numbers does not have a goal seek feature.
You can often create a similar effect by using a slider that you manually sweep.

Using calculation view in excel with input parameters

Hello
I have a calculation view which receives 2 input parameters for a range of dates, when i create the connecction with Excel i get the error "sql processing error: Hierarchy source query: SQL: column store error: search table error: [34092] search on calculation model requires parameters: Required variable $$MyVariable$$ is not set"
I would like to know how can i pass the parameteres from excel to my calculation view??
Thanks

I doubt this can be achieved with a native Excel connection. Try SAP Advanced Analysis for Office. (I believe it may now just be called Analysis for Office).

Need to do multiple calculations from an excel Calendar

I have an excel sheet calendar of 2014, each tab is a seperate month. Under each date I have a series of categories, always in the
same order, Reports/Phone Calls/Web Searches/Text/AIM Conversations. On the final tab I'd like to have a calculation box where i can select a range of dates (say January 1 thru March 30) and I would like it to provide me the total sum of each row/categery
for the selected dates in the box provided? Is this type of query available? I've combed through various formulas but haven't seen anything that can provide answers for all 5 categories with the single date inputs. I'm not even sure how to pull
the information from the cells below the date in each tab to appear correctly in the date range.. any advice would be greatly appreciated.
here is the file if you want to get a better idea. i filled in sample numbers on the first of the month...just to see if it works.. the "search" on the last tab is blank now since my formula's weren't working.
https://www.dropbox.com/s/y2kvg345hxqagzg/Work%20Database.xlsx
i'm open to any suggestions or links of similar query's.

After checking your excel file, I don't think excel formula can handle with your request. Since you source data is unregulated. Although some VBA code may achieve what you described, I would suggest you save these data to a regular table or a database,
then it will be easy for us to sum up each category for the specified time period.
If you still want to seek for some code to deal with it, you can post this issue to the following forum:

Is there a Numbers equivalent to Excel's "Text to Columns"?

I am new to Numbers 09. In Excel I often need to take large amounts of ASCII text data, with hundreds or even thousands of line, paste the data into Column A, then use the "Text to Columns" utility to parse the data into separate columns for further manipulation, calculation, or graphing. Is there a similar process available in Numbers?

I found a way to accomplish this, assuming you also have iWork “Pages” available.
Paste your delimited text into a blank"Pages" document. Do a Find / Replace on your delimiting character (comma or whatever) and replace it with a tab character.
To do this, use Edit > Find > Find... and choose “Advanced” (at the top of the pop-up). Your delimiter goes in the Find text box. Then use the “Insert” pull-down menu to set the Replace text to “Tab.” It puts a little arrow symbol into the text box.
Your original text probably has line breaks already. But if it has a separate delimiter instead, you can convert them into the required line breaks in the same way, using Find/Replace to "Paragraph Break.". Hopefully the same delimiter is not used for both row and column breaks in your data.
Now copy/paste that text from Pages into a single cell in Numbers and it should break it into columns and rows.
MS Office for Mac isn’t that expensive. After this ordeal I’ve ordered a copy.

Calculated members In Excel 2013 - subtotals and grand totals missing

I am using Excel 2013 to query an SSAS OLAP cube. I have selected 2 dimensions in the row area, and I need to consolidate specific combinations of members values of each dimension. To do this I have created calculated members which combine sets of members
of each dimension, as in the code example below.
These members produce the desired results except that I do not have any subtotals on a 3rd dimension in the row area (Internal segment name, cf. image below), nor grand totals in the pivot table.
I am fairly new that MDX and would appreciate any advice on how to correct the code below.
Code for the member [Manufacturing Item].[Item Type].[All].[Cards Contact]
AGGREGATE(
CROSSJOIN(
{[Manufacturing Item].[Item Type].&[CARD BODY OTHER],
[Manufacturing Item].[Item Type].&[CARD BODY],
[Manufacturing Item].[Item Type].&[SMART CARD]},
[Techno cards contact]

In my previous post, the solution happened to work because the combination of the calculated members was equal to the whole dimension. But I found a cleaner method: subtotals need to be calculated for the combination of all the calculated members, so the
logic is to create a set that contains all of them. Then aggregate the measure for this set only for subtotals. To do this, I have created the following calculated measure:
IIF(
ISLEAF([Manufacturing Item].[Item Type].CurrentMember),
[Measures].[Manufacturing Volume],
SUM({[CalcMembers]},[Measures].[Manufacturing Volume])

11g equivalent of Excel LARGE() function? (nth largest in set)

I've been spinning my wheels on this and figured I'd give the forums a try.
I need to find the 13th largest value over the previous 52 weeks. I can set the window size correctly using ROWS 52 PRECEDING AND CURRENT ROW ORDER BY WEEK, but then I need another sort for the nTH largest within that partition. NTH_VALUE is close but what I really need is NTH_LARGEST_VALUE. Excel has a LARGE() function to do this.
Any thoughts for achieving this? See the example below:
Column desired_output is what I'm looking to achieve. It is the 2nd largest value over the current row and the previous 2 rows (ordered by week). Assume no relationship between week and val. These values just used for illustration purposes.

Numbers Equivalent of Excel Formula for Converting HH:MM:SS to DD:HH:MM:SS

I am not sure if this has been asked before.
What would be the Numbers formula for converting HH:MM:SS to DD:HH:MM:SS? The Excel formula is entering 396:59:45 into a cell and then in another cell is the following =TEXT(A2,"dd:hh:mm:ss"). The A2 is the example cell.

There is no formula to actually do the conversion. It is a matter setting the cell format. After that all you need to do is add a simple =<cell> formula to get the value in (i.e. - see my previous post), or a formula to add the two values (=A2+A5). Use Duration rather then Time for the cell formats.
A duration in Numbers for iOS will not appear 10:16:25:03, it will display as 10d 16h 25m 03s. If it is the actual display punctuation you are trying to change, it may be possible using a combination of a Duration and TEXT functions but would be quite lengthy, convoluted, and more trouble than it is worth.

What is the numbers equivalent of excel "freeze pane"?

I work with detailed spreadsheets where it is most helpful to keep a few rows at the top and a few columns to the left stationary while I scroll through the rest of the data. Can you tell me what the Numbers equivalent of that is?

Thanks. I'm new to Mac (20 years of IBM thinkpads) so I definitely appreciate the help. Could you tell me how to provide feedback to Apple in the best way to get their attention? Thanks again.

What's the Numbers08 equivalent of Excel's freeze panes?

I want to use Numbers as a spreadsheet for accounts, as I used to use Excel - but if I can't freeze cells/columns at the left of the sheet, it's no use to me ...

As far as I know, Apple never said that their goal was the described one.
They didn't build Numbers for the professional numbers crunchers.
They built it for the standard users, those who don't need the power-hammer named XL.
As is, Numbers is able to fit the needs of, say 80-90% of computers users.
Believe it or not this market is sufficient to fill Apple's cash-box
I never met a tool satisfying to 100% of the needs of 100% of the users.
Once again I will write that, if Numbers doesn't fit your needs, just stay with XL.

LabVIEW's equivalent to Excel's GoalSeek method

I am looking to find an efficient way to solve cubic equations of state (like Redlich-Kwong) in LV with the same ease as it is in Excel.

MDP_CT,
I have two suggestions.
1. Use VIs from the Functions»Mathematics palette. There is a polynomial curve fitting VI, but it does not have the method you requested.
2. Use ActiveX and do it through Excel.

Have just purchased Macbook Air is there an equivalent program to Excel

Have just purchased Macbook Air , is there an equivalent program to excel available already on the Macbook or do I need to download a program.

My two cents:
Numbers 3.0, which is either preloaded onto the Air or a quick free download from the Mac App Store, is a very powerful application that opens many (probably most) Excel spreadsheets brilliantly. (My work involves using Excel daily both on a PC and the Mac and I was surprised by that.)
For most things Numbers 3.0 is, in my opinion, a far more agreeable environment to work in than OpenOffice, which I've tried recently. (I haven't tried NeoOffice or LibreOffice). OpenOffice definitely has more features, though.
Numbers 3.0 is not a print-oriented application, so if you need to print out lots of documents you may find it lacking. It's more oriented toward collaboration via iCloud sharing and to syncing to iOS devices than it is to printing. It's also good at charting. Numbers is now very powerful on the iPad, convenient for showing work to others in an interactive way, and doing work while you're on the go that syncs back automatically to the Mac. The syncing, a problem with the old version, now works very well.
In the calculation department Numbers 3.0 lacks the equivalent of Excel's array functions and some advanced statistical functions. It also doesn't have the equivalent of VBA; no scripting. It doesn't have pivot tables, but there are good workarounds. It's got tons of functions, more than the old Numbers version, far more than most people actually use.
If you need 100% compatibility with Excel in order to work with others who have complicated formatting or printing needs or are doing sophisticated statistical analysis or working on huge long spreadsheets, then the only application that qualifies for that is Excel. It's a real workhorse on the Mac, an excellent program.

Functions in Calculation and Summary Fields

Hi,
I'll give a bit of background to my situation before describing the advice I'm looking for here.
I am experienced Mac user and I have used AW a fair bit in the past, but since I've been working in a job which has Windows machines and uses a complex custom-written relational database for its main tool, I use it less often than I did, so I am a little rusty. It is the shortcomings of the complex relational database (which I do not have admin rights to) that has led me back to AW and its database module.
Essentially, I am a complaints investigator, and the relational database provided by my employer is used to keep track of correspondence and various metadata associated with the investigation of the complaint. However, although it is called a Complaints Management System (CMS), it does not help me manage my caseload very well. I've previously tried to create an Excel spreadsheet that would help me manage my work, but it is not a database (or I am not sufficiently skilled with Excel) and I cannot get it to provide me with what I want.
So, my problems.
I have complaints (cases) assigned to me to investigate. These cases have differing priorities, which means differing time limits for completion of the investigation. The priorities and time limits are set out below:
J (jurisdictional issues) - time limit = 1 month
D (discretion not to investigate) - time limit = 3 months
1 - time limit = 4 months
2 - time limit = 6 months
3 - time limit = 12 months
The priority field in my AW DB is currently a 'pop-up menu' field, but I could change this to another type if this would be advisable.
I have a date-type field in which I enter the date the complaint was received. I have an calculation-type field in which I calculate the age of the complaint using the function:
=(NOW()-'DateReceived')
This returns an age in days, which I input into a separate calculation field that divides the result of 'age in days' by 30, to give a rough approximation of the number of months old the complaint is (If AW has an equivalent to Excel's 'workdays' variable, I'd love to hear about it). This latter field is the one that I display in the main data entry view of the database.
Given the priority assigned to the complaint, and the age of it, I am either 'On Target' or 'Over Target' for completing the investigation.
Each month I have a meeting with my manager to review progress, and since the reports that can be extracted from the CMS are not very useful for this purpose, I want my AW database to help me generate reports that can form the basis of discussion in these meetings.
Part A of My Query
At present, I have a manually operated field, in the form of a pop-up menu, to indicate for each record (complaint) whether I am over or on target for completion of the investigation. I would like to make this a calculated field, so that the database keeps track of this for me automatically. Unfortunately, I'm either too dense, or not good enough with the syntax of AW functions, to be able to write a function which essentially does the following:
IF 'Priority'=1 AND 'Age in Months'<4 THEN 'On Target' ELSE 'Over Target'
- and then repeats that for the other priority possibilities. It seems likely that the 'IF' function is what I'm after, but I haven't been able to get the syntax right to combine 'Priority' and 'Age in Months' in the format spelt out in the AW help, which is:
=IF(logical,true value,false value)
Getting the syntax of one part of this function right would be a good start. However, I suspect that I have a larger problem, in that I have 5 priorities to measure against and I need the overall calculation (that produces the 'On Target' or 'Over Target' results) to report in one result field. This means nesting the functions that look at the 5 priorities and 5 age limits. I've tried and failed to get the syntax of such nesting right, so advice on this is doubly welcome.
Unfortunately, I have a sneaking suspicion that unless the answer is much more concise than I imagine it to be, there will be an additional problem: AW appears to have a character limit for the length of a function string in a calculation field which may be too short for my needs. If you think this is an issue but that it can be solved through the use of intermediate fields (which don't need to be displayed in the main 'data entry' layout), I'm happy to give that a shot.
Part B of my Query
Even if the problem above cannot be solved, and I have to manually enter whether a complaint is 'On Target' or 'Over Target', I have a separate but related question for the reports I have to present to my manager.
On these reports, I would like to have a summary at the top of the first page (in a grand-summary part, I assume) which gives a count of how many complaints are 'On Target' or 'Over Target' for each priority. Below that is a sub-summary part, ordered by the type of action that must next be taken in the investigation. (Getting that right may be a subject of a separate post at a later date.) The report must, of course, only report on those complaints that are still being investigated ('open complaints') and not those which have been completed ('closed complaints'). So, I need a function in a summary field which will present an accurate count of the number of open complaints that are 'on target' for priority J (with separate summary fields that do the same thing for priorities D, 1, 2, and 3), and a separate set of summary fields that will present a count of open complaints that are 'over target' for each type of priority.
It might look a bit like this table below, with figures from the summary fields populating the cells in the third row:
Priority
J
D
1
2
3
In / Out of Target
In
Out
In
Out
In
Out
In
Out
In
Out
Number of Complaints
My guess is that it is easier to have the summary field simply count all the complaints that are on or over target for a given priority, regardless of whether they are open or closed, since the report could be based on a saved search (match) which strips out all closed complaints. But if I'm off-beam with that idea, I'm happy to have another way of cracking this nut.
Many thanks in advance to any Community members that take the time to try and help me with this.
Andrew
PS Cross posted in AWUG forum too, if people prefer to answer there.

Hi Andrew,
Part A:
I've done some restating of the question, and distributed the calculations among several fields, not all of which need to be included on the visible layout. Other than formatting the Date fields and moving the 'Completed Date' field and its label, I've left this in the default "Layout 1" produced by AppleWorks.
Field List:
Priority: Popup menu with six items: 00, J, D, 1, 2, 3 Defaults to 00
TL (time limit in months): Calculation: CHOOSE('Priority',0,1,3,4,6,12)
Received: Date. Option: Automatically insert today's date (ie. Date Record created) (may be edited)
Target Date: Calculation:
DATE(YEAR('Received')+INT(MONTH('Received')+'TL')/12,MOD(MONTH('Received')+'TL', 12),DAY('Received'))
Remaining (Days): Calculation: INT('Target Date'+1-NOW()) (see revision below)
Completed: Checkbox. Set default value to Unchecked.
Completed Date: Date: Entered manually
OnTarget: Calculation: IF('Completed',IF('Completed Date'<'Target Date',"On Target","Over"),IF(INT(NOW())>'Target Date',"Over","On Target"))
The On Target field shows the current status of the case while still open, and the state on the closing date when it was closed.
Having done that, I was unhappy with the Remaining field continuing to calculate an ever larger negative number after the case had been closed. Hence this revision below:
Remaining: Calculation: IF('Completed','Target Date'-'Completed Date',INT('Target Date'+1-NOW()))
Shows the number of days remaining while the case is open, the days remaining at completion if the case has been marked Completed and the completion date entered.
Rsults (and some further formatting of the Layout) below.
Part B:
You will need Subsummary parts when sorted on Completed and on On Target. Fields can appear on a Layout only once, so each subsummary part will need a separate Summary type field for each field to be summarized.
Regards,
Barry

Help with exporting an excel spreadsheet to sharepoint

I've downloaded the 'Synchronising with sharepoint lists' add-in and have linked my spreadsheet to a sharepoint list, where any changes made to the spreadsheet then updates the sharepoint list. This spreadsheet is full of formulas but as soon as I click
'synchronise with sharepoint' all of the formulas in my spreadsheet vanish. There are also no formulas in the sharepoint list but I'm not really bothered about having working formulas in my sharepoint list because I will be updating that list through my formula
filled and rather complicated spreadsheet.
So is there a way that I can synchronise my spreadsheet to sharepoint and keep my formulas in my excel spreadsheet?

Hi Sarah,
It is difficult to answer your question without any knowledge of the calculations in your Excel spreadsheets. Not all calculations that work on your desktop excel application will work on SharePoint Excel services which is why some of your formulas are getting
extracted.
For more information about Excel Services in SharePoint you can refer to
