Can u use formulas across sheets?

sorry if this is an obvious question, but i'm new to spreadsheets, so any guidance would be helpful.
is it possible to, say, select cells from two sheets and have their sum appear in a cell on a third sheet??
if so, how does one do that? it's probably in the manual, but i have no idea where to look.
thanks

Yup, the SUM function on the third sheet looks like SUM(number, number). Enter "SUM(" in the formula editor then click on the cell where the first number is (you can click on Sheet 1 first in the Sheets window) then type a comma in the formula editor and click the cell with the second number. Enter a ")" in the editor and hit Enter. Done. Sounds more difficult than it is. Basically, just click whenever you need a cell reference, it'll type in the proper syntax for you. It'll look something like "Table 1 :: A2".

  • Re: conditional formula across sheets

    Hello all,
    I've created a spreadsheet with 13 sheets, the first sheet being a Report Sheet.
    I'm trying to arm the Report Sheet with a formula that addresses the following condition.
    If, for example, a box is checked on sheet 2, then copy and paste the contents of a specific cell associated with the checkbox on that sheet ... to a specific cell on the Report Sheet.
    Is this even possible?
    Regards,
    Michael Kelly

    Hi M,
    Do you use Dropbox? you could share a link- make sure you don't have any sensitive info in the table.
    Or I could try to just walk you thru it. Is is easy.
    Start in the cell you want the value to show up in. Type "=". Type "if" and hit return. You will see this:
    "if-expression" is already highlighted. Navigate to your other sheet and click on the checkbox in question.
    Click on "if-true", it will highlight. click on the cell who's value you want when the check box is selected.
    Click "if-false" and enter what you want returned if it is unchecked.
    You are done. Easy, amirite? I really like how much you can get done pointing and clicking in Numbers. If you study what you end up with then you start to understand the syntax that each function needs.
    An interesting thing you may notice is that if your tables have unique names the sheet does not have to be specified. i.e. UniqueTableName::A2 will work regardless of its sheet. Whereas Sheet 2::Table 1::A2 would be necessary if there are multiple Table 1s.

  • Formulas Across Sheets

    I am a basketball coach and am trying to compile season statistics for 38 games. I have a 38 Sheets (one for each game) and a Sheet Labeled "Season Stats". In The "Season Stats" Sheet, I would like to do things like sum up all minutes played for a player for all 38 games. Is there a formula that would allow me to do this? My "Minutes Played" Stat for all 38 games is in the same cell "B8" on all 38 sheets.

    When it comes to referencing values contained in multiple tables (or in tables on multiple sheets), there is no concise formula like there would be if you were selecting a range of cells within one table. But what you want to do can still be done. What is unknown right now is the easiest way to do it. I can give some hints but without knowing how your tables & sheets are named, I can't provide an exact answer.
    If your sheets are consecutively numbered such as Sheet 1, Sheet 2, etc. or Game 1, Game 2, etc. it is a little simpler than if they have totally unique names. I am assuming that you have one table per sheet, all are called Table 1 and each has a column for all player names and several columns for the stats for that game. I am assuming you will create a unique summary table for each player.
    The basic idea is to have formulas that pull all of a single player's stats (from every game) into the player's summary table. Then you can more easily use them in formulas. When done, you can hide the rows of raw game stats and have only the summary stats visible. Then you can replicate (copy/paste) this table for every other player and all you'll have to do is change the player's name. Or you can copy/paste a section of the table repeatedly to lower rows if you want to do everything in one table.
    Actually, before I go on, can you describe your document more fully? If I assumed something incorrectly then I'm going to end up doing a lot of typing for nothing.

  • Can I use formula variable in description of a query

    Hello, I created a query to list top N of vendors by the number of PRs created using condition in the query. N will be entered by users according to what they like (could be, top 10, top 5...). My query works reasonable, but I want to use variable to have the query description changes to reflect the top number user wants to see. For example, currently my report name is "Top N Vendor of PRs". Is there any way I can let "N" dynamically changes everytime when user enter different N? "Top 5 Vendor of PRs", "Top 10 Vendor of PRs", .....
    Please help.
    Thanks.

    I am still struggling and need your help. Here is what I did:
    1. Created a formula variable, let's call "ZFM_VAR" from BEx. Processing by: Manually Input/Default Value. Choose YES for ready for input.
    2. Created a text variable called "ZTX_VAR" from BEx. Processing by: customer exit. Variable entry is Mandatory. Choose NO for ready for input.
    3. Wrote following code from enhancement EXIT_SAPLRRSO_001 include ZXRSRU01:
    data: w_i_t_var_range like rrrangeexit,
             l_s_range type rsr_s_rangesid.
    CASE i_vnam.
        WHEN 'ZTX_VAR'.
           IF i_step = 2. "after the popup
              CLEAR: w_i_t_var_range,l_s_range.
              READ TABLE i_t_var_range WITH KEY vnam = 'ZFM_VAR'.
                 l_s_range-opt = 'EQ'.
                 l_s_range-sign = 'I'.
                 l_s_range-low = w_i_t_var_range-low.
                APPEND l_s_range TO e_t_range.
          ENDIF.
    ENDCASE.
    After I am done the above 3 steps, I still didn't get the same value for ZTX_VAR as I entered in ZFM_VAR. When I run the function moduel in debugging mode, there is nothing in table i_t_var_range. Any ideas for what I missed or did wrong? If somebody can provide detailed instruction, that would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Can I use Pages with more than one user?

    Hi,
    I recently purchased Pages and want to be able to use it with two different users (one personal, one business). Is this possible? If so, how? I have no problem using it with the user I purchased it with, but my business user does not the option for Pages in the launchpad. How can I use Pages across users?
    Thank you,
    Britta

    Pages should be installed in the Applications folder at the top level of your hard drive to be available to all users of that Mac. By default, if you are logged in as an administrator, applications are installed in this folder. I haven't done it, but I understand that if you are not an administrator, applications are installed only in that user's applications folder.
    My installation of iWork is from the retail disc from more than three years ago but I did check for an app purchased from the Mac App Store in another user account on my Mac & had no problems finding it or launching it from Launchpad. Launchpad can be very cluttered &, unless you take the time to organize it, it can be very difficult to find a particular application. I would suggest trying to launch Pages from a Finder window or with a Spotlight search. And keep the Pages icon in the Dock for easy access the next time.

  • Using iCloud across two devices

    We have 2 Apple devices - a Macbook pro and an iPad mini. My wife has made the macbook hers using her own apple id. The mini is mine and I used my apple id, different from hers. How can we use iCloud across both devices with different ids?

    You would not be able to sync across two different iCloud accounts. Buy you can use her iCloud account to do everything iCloud data syncing and then use your Apple ID for purchases. Check out the article below for more information on what you can do for syncing purchases.

  • Using iphot across a local network wirh PC

    I have my photos on an external hard drive attached to a networked PC.
    Can I use iphoto across the network and leave the pictures in the original place?
    Thank you

    Theoretically yes, practically no. Using a referenced library locally is a precarious operation and over a network would be even more so.
    If at any time you launched iPhoto without the source files available you will cause iPhoto to lose the link to the files. Each time you try to view photo you'll get a message the the source file cannot be found as asks you to locate it. You would have to do that with each photo. If you're lucky relinking one photo in an Event (this assumes they are all in the same folder on the PC) will relink all the photos in that folder.
    Also, if the source photos are moved, renamed or edited directly they will be lost to iPhoto.
    Then there's the situation regarding the formatting of the drive they are on. Not that critical if it's just the photos you're storing and referencing to because all edits and changes to the library would be written to the library on your Mac.
    You certainly can try it. Worst case scenario is you'll lose all your organizational efforts, i.e. just time and effort. You won't lose your photos.
    If you're linked wirelessly to the PC that adds another level of problems. Dropouts on wireless networks are not uncommon and experiencing one while trying to access the source files can lead to losing the link to that file.
    If the effort you put into your photo's organization is important and extensive then I'd think twice about running a referenced library.

  • How can i use a number from a cell in a different sheet into a new sheet

    I am using 2 different sheets.
    I want to use into the second one the resulting number from a cell from the first sheet.

    Hi jpmarty,
    If you mean "documents" when you say" sheet" then I can save you some time. No, you cannot reference a cell in a different file or document. There are some people that will write applescripts to do that but they will not work in iOS.
    If both sheets are in the same document:
    Tap "=" in the cell you want the value in, tap the upward arrow that appears to the right, then navigate to the first sheet and click in the cell you want the value from. tap the check.

  • HT4914 Can I use iTunes match to share my iTunes library across different users on the same computer?

    I'm a teacher and I use my MBP in school and, while I've not had any issues with students looking through my computer, I'd like to use a seperate 'school' user just in case.  I need to have access to my iTunes library and I tried moving it to a shared folder but, possibly because of the size of my library, itdoesn't seem to work.  Is there a way I can use iTunes match to enable my 'school' user to access my library in the same way I can with my iPhone?

    Hey darkmavis86,
    Great question, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    I believe you would benefit from the following article:
    iTunes: How to share music between different accounts on a single computer
    http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1203
    However, if you do decide to use iTunes Match the answer to your question is "Yes". iTunes Match can be used to "sync" your iTunes library across multiple devices / computers / users.
    Thanks,

    That's exactly what I tried to do, but the iPhoto librry doesn't show up in the pulldown menu. If I click "Choose Folder", the iPhoto library is greyed out and unable to be selected.
    For some reason, iPhoto is an option in the pulldown library on my older iMac but not on my MacBook Pro. What gives?

  • I want to accumulate rain for the day, month and year; What formula can I use?

    I want to accumulate rain for the day, month and year; What formula or expression can I use.
    I am using a Rain Wise product that converts pulses to an analog value.  The Rain Wise device can be
    set to measure up to 1", 5", or 10".  I will be setting the unit to 10 inches in increments of 0.01 inches.
    What I would like to do is everytime the signal increments I would like to count it as 0.01 then after reaching
    a period of time whether it be a day or a month reset back to zero.

    Hello Ryan,
    Lookout gets a Modbus over Ethernet signal which originates as a 4-20mA input to a Moxa Ethernet I/O Module (E1240) in the field.  In Lookout I created a ModbusEthernet Driver and a tag which scales 0 - 65534 RAW to 0-10 Eng.  [0 - 10 is inches of rain]  Also, another piece of information is that after the rain gauge maxes out at 10 inches it will zero out and start over.
    I though the accumulator was time based and took a sample over a specific time period, for instance, one sample every 30 seconds then accumulate.  If this is so then if I have 5 inches of rain and then it stopped raining, then 30 seconds latter it would sample, it would see 5 inches and add that to be 10 inches when actually it had only rained 5 inches. 
    I really need some help with this process,

  • Can I use the value returned from a Text Function in another Formula?

    I'm writing a report in Hyperion System 9 BI + Financial Reporting Studio version 9.2. I have 2 grids in my report.
    Grid1 Column A is set up as a text function using the function type - <<GetCell("Grid2", 1, a, 1)>>. I would like to use the values returned from this text function in Column A (Grid 1) in a formula in Column B (Grid 1).
    Is it possible to use the values returned in Column A of the text function in another formula? My report does not seem to recognize Column A as numerical values, even though the values to be returned are numerical.
    If so, how do I recognize the values in Column A Grid 1 as numerical values and not text?
    Thanks for any help you can offer!

    Hi Edson,
    Yes you need to use the CALC_ERROR macro function to be able to test whether the last macro function returned an error. CALC_ERROR will return an 'X' if there an error occured during the execution of the last macro function.
    You can use a macro similar to the following:
    IF
      CALC_ERROR( )
      = 'X'
          DO SOMETHING HERE
    ENDIF
    Let me explain how this works internally. The SAP system maintains a global variable g_flg_calc_error during the execution of macros in the planning book. The g_flg_calc_error variable will contain the value of f_calc_error that was set by the last macro function which executed. The ABAP coding of a planning book is something like this:
    data: g_flg_calc_error type /SAPAPO/FLAG.
    * SAP will pass g_flg_calc_error variable to all macro
    * functions. When SAP calls a macro function, it does
    * something like this.
    call function '/SAPAPO/MACRO_FUNCTION_HERE'
            exporting
              plob_values      = i_s_adv_plob_values
              sdp_book         = g_c_advf_sdp_book
              sdp_view         = g_c_advf_sdp_view
            tables
              cols_index       = i_t_cols
              value_tab        = l_t_value_tab
            changing
              f_calc_error     = g_flg_calc_error
    As you can see, the g_flg_calc_error variable
    is passed in the "changing" part of the call. The macro  function being called can then use the f_calc_error
    variable to change the value of the global
    g_flg_calc_error variable. In fact, the macro function being called can also check (by looking at the f_calc_error variable) if the last macro function reported an error.  The CALC_ERROR macro function just checks the value of f_calc_error parameter (w/c in fact is the value of the g_flg_calc_error variable) and returns "true/X" if the f_calc_error was set to true by the last macro function.
    Hope this helps in clearing things out
