Cell formula problem

Hello,
I have created a query in which there are about 12 colums.
In cell definition i want to write the same formula in every coumn.So,is there any way to copy the formula from one cell to other.
Regards,
Pratighya

Hi,
Above post is correct. If you have same selections and same formula for all the rows then cell defintion is not required.Let me try to give another example i.e I have two rows and 3 columns(Actual,Budget,Variance) . My first row is based on Actual-Budget and the second row is based on Budget-Actual . So in this case if I use the query designer, I will get only one variance (either actual-budget or budget-actual) for both the rows. But i need two separate formulas,so i need to use 'Cell definitions ' to define the different formulas for each rows.
But if your selections and formula is same for all the rows you can simply use the column by creating 10 selections with the different fiscal period.
Thanks.

Frustrating Formula Problems

I'm having a frustrating problem in Numbers. When I press the equals key and click on a cell in another table it returns as an invalid formula error. The formula is:
[='Table 10' :: B7]
But when I hit return it changes to
[=Table 10 :: B7]
I have tried to enter the formula manually but Numbers keeps changing what I enter. Every other cell works except that one.
Could anyone replicate this for me? I want to know if it's Numbers or just me, here's how.
I have three tables "Table 9", "Table 10" and "Table 11"
Table 10 has five links to Table 9
B2 [='Table 9' :: A9]
B3 [='Table 9' :: A10]
B4 [='Table 9' :: A11]
B5 [='Table 9' :: A12]
B6 [='Table 9' :: A13]
And the sum of those linked values
B7 [=SUM(B2:B6)]
Table 11 should link to the sum in Table 10
B2 [='Table 10' :: B7]
BTW, ignore the stuff in bold that's the cell coordinates.

When I try to enter +='Table 10' :: B7+ into a cell in some other table using a US English Numbers, the quotes around the +Table 10+ disappear when I type the B in B7. The behavior is as if Numbers is saying that the quotes are not necessary. It seems that Numbers is reparsing the formula with each key I type.
I have tried to enter the formula manually but Numbers keeps changing what I enter. Every other cell works except that one.
In a cell in another table when I type = and then click on cell B7 in Table 10, it creates the cell reference +Table 10 :: B7+ (no quotes).

Note, as indicated above, I'm unable to get Numbers to accept the quotes around the +Table XX+ notation.
Pardon my ignorance, but what localization do you use in Australia? This whole thing smells a bit like a localization issue of which there have been several in Numbers (Yvan is the resident expert on this topic).
So in some cell formulas you have quotes around the +Table XX+ and in others you don't? Do these cells all have the same format setting?

BFC: Cell formulas in reports

Hello,
I wonder if it´s possible to insert a cell formula (IF formula) in a BFC Report, which has a text as a result.
Formula should look like this:
= IF (A1 > 0 and B1 = 0; "YES"; "NO")
I always get "Incorrect formula" as long as I use "YES" or "NO" as a result. As soon as I uses numbers, the formula works.
Is this a normal behaviour?
We are using SAP FC 10.0 SP09

Martin

Hi Martin,
According to FC10 Windows User Guide: "Note: Cell formulas do not enable you to display text. Similarly, they do not enable you to apply conditions to text."
A possible workaround is setting text in Cell Format > Data > Display for positive, negative and zero values. In your case above, you can set formula in "control" cell as = IF (B1=0; A1; -1) and set cell Display as "YES";"NO";"NO".
Best regards,
Olga

Referring to Cells in Formulas problem.

I have 2 Tables (and one chart) on one sheet. Table 1 has 3 columns viz. Dates, Electricity & Gas
The Dates column looks like this
01/01/11 - 31/01/11
01/02/11 - 28/02/11
01/03/11 - 31/03/11
01/04/11 - 30/04/11
etc etc
Table 2 calculates the number of gas units and kWh of electricity used during the date intervals in Table 1. What I've (unsuccessfully) tried to do is when Table 2 calculates the number of gas units and kWh of electricity these are automatically entered in the appropriate cell next to the relevant date interval in Table 1.
For example in Table 2 the number of Gas units is calculated in cell D11 and the kWh of electricity in cell I11 for a particular date interval corresponding to that in Table 1. The data in Table 2 are manually entered for each date interval given in Table 1. What I would like to do is get Numbers to automatically enter the value that is calculated in cells D11 & I11 in Table 2 into the appropriate cells in Table 1 e.g. for 01/01/11 - 31/01/11 the cells in Table 1 would be C4 & D4 for 01/02/11 - 28/02/11 the cells in Table 1 would be C5 & D5 and for 01/03/11 - 31/03/11 the cells in Table 1 would be C6 & D6 and so on up to 01/12/11 - 31/12/11 whose cells would be C15 & D15.
I've tried doing what is suggested in the *'Referring to Cells in Formulas*' help page but I must be doing something wrong as it just isn't working for my Sheet and Tables. If anyone can hopefully understand my problem and point to a solution I'd be very grateful.
If anyone wants a copy of the sheet to play around with they are more than welcome to have it it's just that I don't know how to make it available on this forum or show the tables as they are set out here on the forum.
Thanks
Thanks

As Yvan said, it can't be done the way you want. I personally like to have the backup data behind calculations whenever possible, versus overwriting the older data. I would use separate tables instead of a single Table 2.
I can't quite figure out your "dates". Is it one column or two? For example, is "01/01/11 - 31/01/11" in a single cell? I'm going to assume that's how it is and that it is column A.
Here is how I might do it:
1) I would move Table 2 to a different sheet (Sheet 2) and give it a name _exactly the same as the first period in column A_. In other words, it would be named "01/01/11 - 31/01/11" (without the quotes). This table will be for this period only. I would also go to the inspector and click "name" so the table name is shown above the table.
2) In Sheet 1, Table 1 (your Table 1) I would use the following formula in what you said was column C and a similar one for column D
=IFERROR(INDIRECT("Sheet 2::'"&A&"'::I11"),"")
Note that '"&A&"' has triple-quotes around it. The first one is an apostrophe followed by a quote. The second is a quote followed by an apostrophe. The apostrophes are required due to some of the characters being used in the table names. Normally you wouldn't need them.
3) For the next month, duplicate Table '1/01/11 - 31/01/11' by right clicking on it in the sidebar and choosing "duplicate". Reposition the duplicate on your sheet, rename it with another set of dates (make sure it matches exactly; copy/paste can be your friend), and enter the data for that period. Table 1 will find it automatically.

Cell formatting problem with formula

I have a table in my spreadsheet document, which contains working time details of my job. Column B is time of beginning, column D is time of stop. Both B and C columns are formatted as "date and time". In column E, there is a formula "=C2-B2", and so on for other rows, formatted automatically as "duration".
After a several rows (closing a month), in column F (at F14), there is a SUM formula of column E "=SUM(E2:E14)".
I tried to calculate the total sum for my monthly invoice at G14, with formula "=F14*6000", and i formatted this cell (G14) as Currency, but i see this cell as duration, after formatting the cell as currency too.
Thanks.

Thanks, Badunit!
You saved my day
I switched from OpenOffice.org to iWork 2 weeks ago, and this duration format tricked me second time.

Numbers formula problem

I have the following numbers, 20 in total. Numbers are from 0-9.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
3 7 8 1 2 6 6 7 3 1   0   7   0   1   2    2   1   6   8   2
i have another row where I want to put all the numbers that exist in the row 2. numbers that do not appear in that row should not appear in my other row.
But i just want to display the numbers once. The result would be like this:
0 1 2 3 6 7 8
Each number in a different cell.
4,5 and 9 do not appear.
I Hope you could understand my problem. I could post a screenshot, but this forum is buggy.
many thanks,

Splitting a series of data into more than one column or row complicates life. But if it is important to do that (perhaps for ease of data entry) then here is one way to accomplish what I understand you are looking for:
This is the sample data table (I reduced the number of columns for demonstration purposes):
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
DATA 1

30
DATA 2
11

12
10
12
14
13
11
12
14
15
13
14
15
18
Then you can create a "Helper Table" that looks like this (in practice it will have many more rows):
Value
Distinct
Ranked
DATA 1
DATA 1
9
16
16
10
15
15
11
17
17
12
16
13
19
19
14
17
15
The formula in A2 of the Helper Table, copied down as far as you can go until you get a red triangle range error is, is:
   =INDEX(UNION.RANGES(FALSE,Data::$A$1,Data::$2,Data::$4),1,ROW())
          (The $2 and $4 appear in this pasted formula means to anchor to those rows. You get that by clicking the row number to select the row)
The formula in B2, copied down, is:
   =IFERROR(IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A2,A2)=1,A2,""),"")
The formula in C2, copied down, is:
    =IFERROR(SMALL(B,ROW()−1),"")
    (The B here is the column B address token which you get by clicking the column letter to select the column.)
Your summary table would look something like this:
Durchmesser
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
The formula in B2, copied right until you get a blank, is:
   =IFERROR(INDEX(Helper Table::$C,COLUMN()),"")

EVDRE Input Schedule - shifting of cells/formulas

Hi everybody,
I am using BPC version 5.1. I do have a problem with an EVDRE Input Schedule. It is a single EVDRE report which is nested with a product and an account dimension.
Underneath the Data Input Range, I have written additional information and included a button with the send function. If I change the selected product members through another button which is above the input range and expand the report, the additional information and the button always move one row up when expanding.
Has anybody experienced a similar problem or has a solution for the problem? I am happy to provide additional information.
On top of that problem I do have cell reference sin formulas that also change when expanding. I e.g. have a EVPROP formula that shifts the row in the reference one row up each time I expand. The formula is on the left side of the input range next to the row IDs. I don't know why, but this problem doesn't occur on all input schedules.
Does anybody have a clue how to solve the issue?
Thank you very much in advance!
Christopher

Hello experts,
I've got another similar problem:
I do have shapes in an Excel Input Schedule, as well as drop downs, both with assigned macros. I don't know why, but some of them (not always the same) disappear.
I have no idea how that happens or where the shapes are now.
Does anybody have a clue?
Thanks in advance!

Cell formulas stop reporting correct values. Numbers 3.5.

10.10
Numbers 3.5
In the same table:
I have a cell (say #1) with a number value entered say 10.40.
I have another cell (say cell #2) that is set to equal that cell's value.
This works and cell 2 reports the correct value of cell 1.
But once every 10 or so restarts cell 2 stops reporting cell 1's value correctly.
It reports the previous value after I change Cell 1's value.
Sometimes deleting cell 2's reference and re-entering it works.
Other times it just continues to report cell 1's previous value.
Getting cell 2 to report the current value of cell 1 can be a chore.
Other cells on the same sheet with more complicated formulas also stop reporting the correct values.
Many references are for cells in other tables on the same sheet.
I can spend 30-45 minutes correcting the mess every 10 or so restarts.
Anyone else have this issue?
Any suggestions welcome.
Thanks ... Ken

Nothing like that here. Have you tried deleting Numbers 3.5 (go to LaunchPad, hold down the mouse button until the icons quiver, and click the x by the Numbers icon) and re-downloading from the Mac App Store? Also have you tried shutting down and restarting your Mac?

Numbers formula problem (sorry for that boring title)

So I have got the following table:
A
B
C
D
E
F
G
2
4
3
9
7
8
1
What I want:
A2 = A1
B2 = A1+B1
C2 = A1+B1+C1
D2 = A1+B1+C1+D1
I want that automatically, so that I can apply that to as many columns as I have. I want a formula for the first cell and then copy the formula to the next cell, so that it chooses the right values. I don't want to type the whole alphabet.
Many thanks for any suggestions and ideas.

A2=sum($A$1:A1)
this is shorthand for... select cell A2 then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=sum($A$1:A1)
select A2, copy
select A2 thru the end of the row, paste

OO ALV Cell Merge Problem when editable fields

Hi there!
I'm using OO ALV ( CL_GUI_ALV_GRID ) and experiencing a strange problem.
I'm interested in the cells merging functionality of ALV, when i sort data for a specific field.
It works fine but only if i do not set any field as editable ( lvc_s_fcat-edit = 'X' ).
For some reason ALV loses some of its functionality when you set a field as editable.
I've noticed it also with the functionality of expanding/supressing data when using subtotals.
If any field is set as editable then subtotals come always expanded, you cannot supress them...
Has anyone else experienced somethng like this before? Any help will be appreciated!

Dynamic calc member formula problem

Hello Gurús!
We are using a member called "Full Year" that is a Dynamic calc with a member formula that calls another dynamic calc. For any reason, it is not working when we try to retrieve it from Excel Add-in.
Any ideas? Any problem for put a Dynamic Calc as member formula of antoher Dynamic calc?
Thanks for your time!

Ariel

that can be the problem, depending on what dimension they are in, the order the two pass occurs could couse you issues. In cases like this I've had to put the entire calculation into the member I wanted to calculate and bypass the dependency

GETPIVOTDATA formula problem with apostrophe

Excel 2010 on Win7 - Having a problem with the GETPIVOTDATA formula.
GETPIVOTDATA(data_field, pivot_table[, field1, item1]
If "data_field", "field1" or "item1" contain a value that has an apostrophe (i.e. single quote), the function returns a #REF! error. It works fine in all other cases. I tried placing those values within brackets (ex: "[Moody's]")
and using the old SQL trick of doubling up the apostrophe (ex: "Moody''s"), and combining both those methods. But no luck. Has anyone else been able to solve this problem?
Thanks.

Cell alignment problems

hi, im currently working on a website with dreamweaver, its
only the 2nd html site ive ever made.
both sites have been photography portfolios, so involve
thumbnailed galleries. i figured it would be easiest to use tables
to create the pages, as the the images are different sizes (some
landscape, some portrait etc). i used css for properties of cells.
problem is, when i move from one page to another in the
browser (seems to be every browser, but some are worse than
others), the cells appear to move. some of them have borders so
this is quite obvious.
am i missing something glaringly obvious? i find it so
frustrating, i have tried adjusted the cell widths through css and
single cell properties but neither seem to make the slightest
difference. it appears the content that is in each cell determines
the width of it in the browser, how can i control this so i can
maintain uniform alignment throughout the site?
many thanks in advance for any advice whatsoever

With a single table like that, you'll experience the size
shifts. You
may want to use a single nested table for the content.
Outer table - 3 rows
top row, colspan 2
middle row, thin left cell for navbar, wide right cell to
hold nested table
bottom row, colspan 2
Set explicit widths for the middle row cells.
In the middle row right cell, place a nested table with the
page content.
Another option is to go "tableless" and just use CSS for the
layout.
(PS - I didn't even notice the buttons on the left for a
while. I stared
dumbly at the page wondering how to get to the next page. The
buttons
are so dim they are difficult to see against the black
background.
Depending on the angle of my LCD screen, sometimes they
disappear entirely.)

Formula problems

Hello,
I've a problem with a formula in CR XI which I can't solve. I hope that some here can help me.
The problem is:
Sum({@formule})
The warning is:
Cannot summarize this field.
How can I solve this?

Hi Erwin,
Try below Steps:
1. Create these three formulas:
@Formula 1
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar RunningTotal;
RunningTotal := 0
@Formula 2
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar RunningTotal;
RunningTotal := RunningTotal + {@formula field}
//Substitute your formula field name for {@formula field}, In your case it is @formule
@Formula 3
WhilePrintingRecords;
NumberVar RunningTotal;
RunningTotal;
2. Insert the formulas on the report:
u2022 Place {@Formula 1} in the Group Header section (you can suppress this formula if you want)
u2022 Place {@Formula 2} in the Detail section (you can suppress this formula if you want)
u2022 Place {@Formula 3} in the Group Footer section.
To change how often this running total resets or displays, you can move @Formula 1 and/or @Formula 3 to other sections. For example, to have this running total act like a grand total, move @Formula 1 to the Report Header, and move @Formula 3 to the Report Footer.
In your case, you can try below:
u2022 Place {@Formula 2} in the section where you have placed your @formule field (Place this formula next to the @formule field)
u2022 Place {@Formula 3} in the section where you want the Grand total to be displayed. (For instance Report Header)

Formula problem, sometimes don't add the value

Hi everybody,
I'm trying to learn manage this tool (crystal report) I use visual basic 2005 with the crystal for visual basic. Actually I've a problem with some formula fields. My report has several summarize columns (I sum the values) , not all the columns have values so not all the result fields has values. The problem becomes because I have to sum the result fields, and if i do a formula with this:
+ {@horasTinsitu} + {@ConvertirEnSegundosTreal} + {@ConvertirEnSegundosTtaller}
But only works if the three formulas has values, if one formula is empty the result looks empty, I think the problem was in the value of the formulas and I tried to evaluate with u201Cisnullu201D but neither.
Please, somebody has an idea.
Thanks everybody
Well my English it's bad but I think it's possible understand it.

I finally do it, this is the code
local numbervar InSitu;
local numbervar Remote;
local numbervar Taller;
local numbervar Phone;
if isnull({@T_insitu}) then //{@T_insitu} is the formula to summarize details and add their values...
    InSitu:= 0
else
    InSitu:= {@T_insitu};
if isnull({@T_remoto}) then
    Remote:= 0
else
    Remote:={@T_remoto} ;
if isnull({@T_taller}) then
    Taller:= 0
else
    Taller:= {@T_taller};
if isnull({@T_telefono}) then
    Phone:= 0
else
    Phone:={@T_telefono} ;
InSituRemoteTallerPhone;
Now looks easy but it's very diferent of the visual code I usually do.
well THANK YOU VERY MUCH EVERY BODY...
