Can I use NOW() to auto-enter data on a form?

Hi,
I want to use a form in Numbers (for iPad) for rapid data entry. The the time of observation is a field of interest.
Can i use the NOW() function to register the time the record is created, but then not update?
In my experimentation so far, I have a field which is set to =NOW(). It works in the instant that a record is created but all of the values seem to change in all of the previous records when the table is active or a new record is created.
Is there some additional trick to get it to register NOW() just at the moment that the record is created and then become a static reference, or am I asking too much of Numbers?

Hi dh,
Numbers 3.1 on a MacBook with OS X 10.9.1
NOW updates whenever a change is made (or the document is reopened).
Insert =NOW() and press enter to record the time.
Immediately copy that cell, then Edit > Menu > Paste Formula results. That will convert it to Actual instead of a Formula.
Typing a value into a cell anywhere (here 1 is typed into C2) will update Now, but not update the Paste Formula Results.
NOW anywhere in the document will also update
Sheet 1, both NOW cells updated
Sheet 1-1, both NOW cells updated just by typing 1 into Sheet 1 Table 1 C2

Ian.

  • How can I use table control to enter data

    Hi all,
    I want to use table control to enter data, instead of using textboxes.
    So that the user can enter many data at once and just click the save button at the end of the work, only one click.
    How can I use the table control at this context?
    Thanks.

  • How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from a text file?

    I have several hundred text files that contain a bunch of information. I only need six values from each file and ideally I need them as columns in an excel file.
    How can I use Automator to extract specific Data from the text files and either create a new text file or excel file with the info? I have looked all over but can't find a solution. If anyone could please help I would be eternally grateful!!! If there is another, better solution than automator, please let me know!

  • What can i use now instead of iweb?

    I know Apple did away with iweb some time ago, but what can I use now to create a simple website using mac templates?

    Apple have not 'Done away with iWeb' as you put it.  They are no longer supporting it and no longer upgrading it, but this DOES NOT mean that you can't still use it to create websites with.
    Apple stopped supporting it sometime ago now, but it is an application like any other that you have and if you have it on your Mac, then you can still use it - it works with both Lion and Mountain Lion and if you want it you can still get it, but you'll have to purchase it from Amazon as part of either the iLife 11 or iLife 09 boxed set.
    If you really want to use other software, which you don't need to take a look at RapidWeaver, Sandvox, Freeway Express and Pro 6, Flux 4 and Quick n' Easy Website Builder.  Most, if not all of these have free month long trials where you can download and try before you buy.
    As well as these, you have other options such as the online web site builders such as http://www.wix.com or http://www.weebly.com, or the CMS's (Content Management Systems) that you can install directly on your host/server and include http://drupal.org and http://joomla.org amongst others.
    Rage software are also producing their own version of iWeb called EasyWeb - however, all first reports would seem to suggest that you won't be able to purchase this software on its own when it is released - it will initially be tied to Rage web hosting, so you would need to purchase this first to be able to use EasyWeb.
    However, if you still have iWeb then use it for as long as it works and don't look elsewhere.  Just because iWeb is no longer sold or supported by Apple does not mean that you can't still use it - you most certainly can.

  • Restrict Which Users Can Enter Data In List Form in SharePoint Foundation 2013

    Is there a way to restrict which users can enter data in particular fields in a list item entry form?
    We are using a SharePoint Foundation 2013 list and calendar to manage vacation time. We need to restrict non-supervisor users users from entering a value in a certain field in the vacation request form.
    Here is how the system works now:
    1. Employees complete the vacation request form (which creates a list item)
    2. An email is sent to their supervisor to either approve or decline the request
    3. Approved requests are automatically entered onto the vacation calendar
    We have restricted the list so that only supervisors can edit items (the pending vacation requests). The problem is that all users can mark their own requests as approved when they fill out the request form in the first place. Is there a way to restrict
    which users can enter data in particular fields on a list item entry form?

    Thanks for the suggestion. We ended up 1) hiding the approval column and 2) creating a second list, workflow, etc. The user no longer sees the approval column when filling out the form. Requests are now submitted to list A. Workflow #1 copies the request
    to List B, then deletes the item from List A. Once the request is added to List B, Workflow #2 emails the user that the request has been received and emails the supervisor that a request needs to be approved. Only supervisors have editing permissions on List
    B. Approved requests are automatically added to the vacation calendar (the calendar view of List B).
    We found the following site to be helpful in learning how to hide the list column:

  • Can i use OER to store the data from a excel sheet that pertains to the entire integrations ?

    hi ,
    i know that the OER can be used to view the entire landscape for the SOA composites and how they are related with each other. However we have a requirement wherein we need to store the data for the entire integration end systems e.g. ebiz, mfgpro, siebel etc ( that is we need to store data one level up).
    Also,  we want a customized form in OER wherein user can manually add data regarding the integrations.
    So is it possible to do so ? If yes, how ?

    ok, let me put it this way,
    I tried using the import/export utility available under OER admin tab.
    When i export my existing assets it generates the .xml file for each asset. Now as i have hundreds on new assets to be created for each asset type i want to be able to create a new .xml file and want it to create the new asset once i import it using import utility. I tried creating a new .xml file giving it a new UUID but it does not seem to work. Has anyone tried this earlier who can give the steps to do this ?

  • Help Required -- Can we use SQL Query to READ data from SAP MDM Tables

    Hi All,
    Please help.........
    Can we use SQL Query to READ(No Creation/Updation/Deletion  just Read) Data from SAP MDM tables directly, without using MDM Syndicator.
    Or direct SQL access to SAP MDM tables is not possible. Only through MDM Syndicator can we export data.
    Thanks in Advance
    Regards

    All the tables you create in Repository comes under A2i_CM_Tables in Database named as your repository name. So the tables names are fields of table A2i_CM_Tables. Now i tried it but cant make it.
    Now, I dont think its possible to extract all fields in tables and there values using select query. May be pure sql guy can do that or not.
    But there is no relation of data extraction and syndicator. Data is viewed in Data Manager. and you can also store data in a file from DM also.

  • Can I use flash drives to transfer data from one MBP to another at a differ

    I've looked and cannot find any info on the use of flash drives. Can I use a flash drive to transfer data from one MBP to another one at a different location? (ie; school Apple and home MBP) Grade tests and papers at home, enter data into home computer, then put it on flash drive and carry flash drive to school, transferring data to school desk top? Are certain flash drives preferrable over others, name brands, size, etc?

    Yep, you sure can. Just about any drive will work as mentioned above. But I'm partial to SanDisk and PNY. I've used both and they work great! Currently I carry both a 2GB SanDisk Micro Cruzer and a retractable 2GB SanDisk Cruzer, both really nice. Replaced my oldie but goodie 256MB PNY drive that I've been using since they first came out.

  • What Function Module can be used to create vendor master data in SAP R/3?

    Hello -
    I've been trying to find a standard SAP delivered BAPI that can be used to create vendor master records in ECC 6.0. Up to this point I have not been able to do so. With SAP MDM solutions and SRM solutions it seems logical that SAP would deliver a standard BAPI that can be used to create vendor master records in the ERP/R3 environment (similar to the BAPI_MATERIAL_SAVEREPLICA for creating material master data records).
    I have been able to find BAPI_VENDOR_CREATE but this only calls the online transaction and does not offer much additional functionality beyond what transaction code XK02 already offers.
    The next best alternative appears to be IDOC_INPUT_CREDITOR but our preference would be to not use IDOCs for the project we are working on.
    Can anyone offer any insight or personal experience on how vendor master records have been successfully interfaced with SAP R/3? Did you have to use IDOCs or create a custom RFC call? Thanks for the help!
    Rich Wortmann
    << Personal information removed >>
    Edited by: Rob Burbank on May 14, 2009 10:43 AM

    Quite a gap in the BAPI arsenal. I think the options are IDoc, which you don't want, good old program RFBIKR00 (requires flat file for input, can be used via LSMW) or DIY (very complex).
