Cell Formula Question

I want to fill a new cell with the contents of another plus add a string of text.
ie) a dealer code number plus a string of text. The result would be something like 11024_Sig.psd
Thank-you in advance
Bill

Solved!
Used the "concatenate" formula... worked like charm.
Thanks anyway.
Cheers,
Bill

  • 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
    Regards
    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,

    Hi Jessica,
    Here's my take on it, using the sample data in your original post, and using the same solution with the names in your question.
    In the Data table, column A contains the list of numbers in your original post. I've rearranged them in random order to demonstrate that the order of entry does not matter for this method.
    Data::Column B contains the names in your question, each assigned to one of the numbers in the body of your post.
    Column C contains an index showing the first occurrence of each distinct number in Column A. This index is used to fill both columns in the Summary by Number table.
    Column D contains an index showing the first occurrence of each distinct name in Column Bt. This index is used to fill both columns in the Summary by Number table.
    Both formulas are the same, except for the columns referenced (highlighted in the second formula below).
    Formula: Data::C2: =IF(COUNTIF($A$2:A2,A2)=1,MAX(C$1:C1)+1,"")
    Formula: Data::D2: =IF(COUNTIF($B$2:B2,B2)=1,MAX(D$1:D1)+1,"")
    Both formulas require that row 1 be a Header Row, and that the contents of C1 (and D1) be Text, nothing, or a zero. Both formulas are filled to the end of their respective columns.
    Summary by Number contains two formulas.
    A2: =IF((ROW()-1)>MAX(Data :: $C),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Data :: $C,Data :: $A))
    B2: =IF(LEN(A2)>0,COUNTIF(Data :: A,A2),"")
    Both are filled down to the end of their respective columns.
    The first formula checks if its row number minus 1 is greater than the maximum value in the index column. If that is TRUE, there are no more values to look up, and the formula returns an empty string (which appears 'blank'). If it is FALSE, the LOOKUP the value in Data::column A corresponding to the value of ROW()-1 in Data::column C.
    The second formula checks the LENgth of the entry in the column to its left. If the length is greater that 0 characters, there is a countable value in the cell, and the formula passes control to COUNTIF, which counts the number of times that value is found in Data::column A. If the length of the value in the cell to the left is zero, then the cell contains an empty string, and the formula passes control to the part after the last comma, which enters an empty string in the cell containing the formula.
    The formulas in Summary by Name are identical to these except for the (bolded) references. These are incremented to the right; C -> D, and A -> B to match the Data:: columns containing the names and the names index.

  • FR cell text question

    Hi there,
    I'm trying to add cell text into a FR report.
    Right now, I'm adding a text row under each data row that utilizes the <<CellText()>> formula to display the cell text under each data cell.
    I have two questions from this...
    1) This seems like a fairly inefficient method if I have a lot of data rows/columns, is there an easier way to achieve what I am currently doing?
    2) Assuming this is the only way, how do I suppress the entire data row if there is no cell text data for the whole data row? I've tried using all the basic suppression options, as well as some of the advanced options (ie. Value in Cell = No Data...)
    Could anyone kindly offer some suggestions, much appreciated!
    Thanks in advance!

    In the Advanced Options try using "Data Values in Current Row" No Data

  • 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?

  • Formula Question.. Perhaps obvious

    Hi All,
    I believe I seen something of what I'm looking for in excel so I'm not sure the probability of it working in numbers (hope it does). I'm current developing my own account spreadsheet and trying to figure out a formula where;
    Cell A3 is a balance (or entered) value $10.00
    Cell C3 has a recurring value .50¢
    What I would like or looking for is the formula that takes into account what is entered (A3) plus the value of C3, without the use of another cell. The formula would be in A3. Is this possible?
    Trying to avoid additional cell computations especially as Numbers can not lock or protect cell content.

    No.
    Two issues:
    Whatever you enter into a cell replaces what was there before. If A3 contained a formula, then the entered value would replace that formula.
    A cell cannot reference itself, nor can it reference a cell whose value depends on it.

  • How to print Cell Formula rather than its Result?

    Hi,
    I work with data that includes lots of multiple fractions, and print reports showing results of various calculations based on the fractions. The fractions themselves can be important, so I need to be able to display them when used in a formula.
    For example, in one cell (cell A1) I need to enter "1/3 * 13/21"; I need to display this formula when I print. Cell A2 would contain a specific number, like "141.5". Cell A3 needs to calculate A1 * A2.
    In order to provide a number that A3 can use, I need to enter "=1/3 * 13/21", but when printing this displays "206349". I can format A1 as text, but then A3 won't calculate it. I tried using "Value(A1)*Value(A2)" in A3, but it looks like Value will only accept a decimal number.
    So, is there any way to format some cells in a sheet (but not all cells) to display the cell contents rather than the result? Or a way to enter a fraction as text and have another cell evaluate the fraction or formula?
    Thanks for any help or advice.
    Tom

    Yvan,
    Merci for the reply.
    Unfortunately, that option does not work for my purposes. Below is a row that Numbers will allow me to print.
    0.07968198 | 1/6 | 23.58333 | 0.01463667 | 0.03333333 | 141.500
    Next is the row as I desire to print it (but have not figured out how to print):
    1/5 - (80/141.5 * 1/5) - (5.125/141.5 * 1/5) | 1/6 | 23.58333 | 0.01463667 | 0.03333333 | 141.500
    Next is the row as it appears if I follow your suggestion:
    =1/5 - (80/141.5 * 1/5) - (5.125/141.5 * 1/5) | =1/6 | =ROUND(D41*H41,5) | =ROUND(G41*H41/322.25,8) | =ROUND(C41*D41,8) | 141.5
    So in other words, I only want the first cell in the row to print as text. My clients need to see the equation in the first cell, not its calculated result. But for each following cell, they need to see the result; if I print the functions and cell references, as in the 3rd example, my report won't make any sense at all to my clients.
    Quattro Pro on Windows allowed me to do this easily. I switched to Mac and Excel 2008, and found a difficult workaround solution to accomplish this; but Excel is a dog of a program, with many bugs still. I'd much prefer to work with Numbers, but unless I can do something about the printing issue, I'll have to stick with Excel, or run Quattro under VMWare Fusion.
    Thanks a lot,
    Tom

  • Changes made to cell reference and cell formula in designer are not reflected in analyser?

    Dear Experts,
    I have made few changes to Bex Report in Query designer by creating cell reference for a cell and the same cell reference used by the formula created on the adjacent cell.
    I changes are working for 1 Report where as , the exact chanegs made in 2nd Report are not reflected in the Analyzer upon execution of Reports by giving exact inputs as fpr the previous report.
    Could you please help me resolve this issue ?

    Hi Loed,
    Please find  the screenshot of the query result below.
    The cells marked in green are where the cell reference has been created and the ones in yellow will have the formula pointing to the cell reference value.Ideally, the cell values in green and corresponding green cell should be identical(as seen in the 2nd screenshot).

  • J2ME on cell phones questions

    Hi,
    I'm in the process of picking a project and wanted to see how doable it is. The project involves a cell phone and a Java program to use Bluetooth. This is real unknown territory for me so my questions are very simple. First does J2ME have packages/classes that allow for bluetooth communication (name)? Or is that a separate package I need to find?
    Second, can you save to files/permanent memory from an application running on a cell phone (to save some program settings etc). On the cheapest cell phone usually how little memroy is available? Also can you name some classes that allow for this in J2ME (other libraries).
    Finally how standard is all this? What's the probability that the program will run on all of the new cell phones? On all new cell phones from same manufacturer?
    Thanks.

    Hi,
    J2ME has JSR 82, that specifies BlueTooth stack. It's bundled with latest WTK releases (and netBeans 4.0 Mobility Pack as well). If it's available on device depends on HW equipment of the device of course.
    For your second Q: RMS storage is defined by MIDP 1.0 itself so yes, you can store some records. Not sure about the size I guess you can count on 8kb. The storage will be more , least I know of is 30kb on Nokia 6310, usual sizes are 1-5 Mb, smartphones use MMC cards, so the size can grow to hundreds of megs.

  • 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!

  • Variable and Formulas Question

    Hi folks,
    I use BOXI r2 sp 4 and I have a general question re: variables and formulas in Webi reports.
    Billing Year Month and Cost of Service are standard time dimensions and measures that I use in my Webi reports and they were created at the semantic level.
    Normally, I create cross tab reports with the Billing Year Month along the horizontal axis and the Cost of Service in the Body (Business Unit or Department would be placed along the vertical axis).
    For some reason, when I use formulas/variables to modify the standard time dimensions (like changing Billing Year Month to Year), the values for the Cost of Service are returned incorrectly.
    Example.
    Semantic object: Billing Year Month = (yyyy-MM) returns correct values
    Report variable: Substr([Billing Year Month;1;4) returns incorrect values
    Can anyone please explain this problem?
    Thanks,
    Wannetta

    Hi John,
    The attribute of the Billing Year Month at the semantic level is a character type.
    After reading your response, I realize that I may not have been clear regarding the problem.
    The following formula does return the correct value in and of itself.
    >=Substr([Billing Year Month];1;4
    If I create a variable and then drag it onto my crosstab, it returns the correct value ONLY within the header.
    When I drag the cost of service measure onto the crosstab; the header values remain the same but values in the body either disappear or the change to reflect incorrect values.
    I thought one of the prime features of Webi was the ability of the Report Developer to create variables/formulas and use them in the headers to manipulate the semantic "measures" in the body (read: output) at the report level.
    Is this a matter of semantic design or does Webi not possess this capability?
    Or, is the issue entirely different?
    Thanks!

  • Lock cell formula Please Help

    Hello
    I have been setting up prices for a new business in the latest version of numbers. I was having no luck on iCloud making a formula that linked sheets by clicking cells I had to put each one in individually. I then downloaded it to my macbook and got that to work (any help there would be great but not essential) I managed to do my formulas fine once it was on my hard drive but there is one formula which is a combination of 2 sheets. The formula works fine which is in sheet 2. However, in sheet 1 everything is A-Z and if the formula for example is regarding cel B2, if i insert a new row and that cell then becomes C2 my formula is messed up. I have tried using the preserve tick boxes and manually insert the $ but it is not locking it. I want the cell to know that if I move cell B2 anywhere it still keeps that information.
    Here is the actual formula
    =SUM($Price $'Sugar)'÷$Price Per $'Sugar')×$B$6
    Price = cell B2 in Sheet 1
    Price per = B2 in sheet 2
    I have tried with and without $
    Please help I am trying to get a business plan together and the last thing I want is to change something without realising it has altered the formula.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Egor,
    It would be clearer if you turned off "Use header names as labels". Even so each cell needs a column and a row designation.
    Price = cell B2 in Sheet 1,  Price per = B2 in sheet 2
    These statements cannot be true.
    That said, there are some things that are clear.
    If you are dividing one value by another you do not need the SUM() function. As far as I can tell you are not adding anything.
    There is an extra ")" in your formula.
    Whats with the quotes around 'Sugar'?
    What does your formula look like without the "Use header names as labels" checked?

  • ASO OTL Formula Question

    I am attempting to create a scenario that presents lagged data (ie in march show the data for February). Sample of formula.
    CASE
    WHEN IS ([Jan],[Time].CurrentMember)
    THEN ( ([Dec],[2008 Actual]))
    WHEN IS ([Feb],[Time].CurrentMember)
    THEN ( ([Jan],[2009 Actual]))

    Question 1: Is there a problem with what you have? Does it work? Is it slow? are you looking to do it better?
    Question 2: Do you have Year and Scenario in the Same dimension? If you do, you should change that and break them out, that is not a good design methodology
    If they were separate you could do something simple like
    CASE
    WHEN IS ([Time].CurrentMember, [Jan])
    THEN ([Actual], [Dec], [Year].CurrentMember.lag(1))
    ELSE ([Actual], [Time].CurrentMember.lag(1)
    END

  • Software/cell towers question

    I live in Knoxville, TN and recently went to Tampa, Fl for a short trip. My fascinate worked flawlessly while I was there. So my question is, does the cell towers have anything to do with the software issues on the phone? Like many others, I have experienced poor battery life, can't send or receive text, and missed calls. But the entire time I was there I had not one issue with any of those things, even the battery lasted longer than 12 hours. I currently am still running 2.1 in fear of locking up my phone which is not covered by any warranty since I bought it used. Thanks for your input.

    Hi mgayle97! Yes, cell towers can definitely have an impact on phone performance. Cell towers provide access to the network. Their placement, tasking and area topography determine your signal strength (and thus data speeds and battery life). It's possible that your signal was stronger while visiting Tampa because of more outdoor usage, which will always improve service.
