Conditional highlighting using a formula

In Word for Mac, we can highlight cells based on a formula. Is there a way to get the same in Numbers,too?

Hi Naikosen,
You are correct, we can't put a formula directly into a highlight rule. It is possible to get the same result.
It is so frustrating to me that screenshots are currently problematic. I wish I knew what was the problem- it has been getting worse in my experience.
Let me try to describe my screen shot.
Data Table is the table you currently have.
Highlight Table is a table you create that is a single cell, 3 Data Table cells wide. When it is dragged over the Data Table it will match the cells you want highlighted. Set the text color to white in this cell.
The formula in this cell is
=IF(data::$A1:$C1=0,"T","F")
Conditional highlighting sets the fill and text to red using a Custom Style. If you need help finding the Conditional Highlighting sidebar let me know.
Text is:
T
Custom Style is the last offering in the drop down.
Set fill to red, set text to red.
--Here is where I paused and checked to see if things worked. Make an entry in one of your data table cells, the highlight table should turn red. If ok, then continue.
Drag the highlight table directly over the three cells in the Data Table you want to highlight.
Send the highlight table to the back with Menu>Arrange>Send to Back.
Avoid dragging the tables.
Let me know if anything is not clear.

Applying condition by using a formula

I have 2 key figures which are restricted by user entry dates in my structure but i am not displaying both of them.
then i am calculating the difference of both of them which i want to display in report when that value is greater than another user entry variable say "Difference".
For eg. : if i entered Difference value as 300 in my selection screen.
Then it should show only those values in my report where the difference is greater than 300.
How can i do that??
Hope my doubt is clear.
If you need more description.Do tell me.

Hi Sachin,
Your question seems not clear.
1) As Jasprit suggested you can use formula variable. In addtion, you can have two columns for the differences, for example, one is for > = user entered value and another < user entered values. In this case, you can see both scenario.
2) Show all differences in the same column and create condition to differenciate by color coding. You can use the user entered variable.
Thanks

Conditional highlighting on cross-tabs

Does anyone know if it is possible to conditionally highlight a field in cross-tab based on another field in the table? The field we're using to condition is not in the cross-tab, nor do we want it to be in the cross-tab. We need to highlight a report field based on another field from each record reported. Highlight expert won't let you highlight the field unless the field is in the cross-tab.

yes it is possible
Select the field from Cross Tab which you want to Highlight Right Click Select the Format Field
Select the Font TabÂ
Select the formula button next to color
Then enter the formula
IF field not in cross tab = somevalue then
mention the ColorÂ Code which you want....
Thanks

How to use a Formula Column in the main query?

Hi All,
I've tried to use a formula columns defined in some query in the condition of that query like this:
where (:cf_ex - :cf_ex2) >= 5
but when I run the report no data returned! Why? and how to use it the condition of the query?
Note: I'm using Forms 6i

where (:cf_ex - :cf_ex2) >= 5You cannot do that. Formula columns are not part of the select statement (which runs in the database), but are processed in the report.
When you created this query, my guess is that you got the message "Note: the query Q1 has created the bind parameter(s) cf_ex, cf_ex2". Check these User Parameters in your data model. So, you are actually referencing user parameters in the query, not formula columns.
I made a computations and things using PL/SQL that can't be done in the select statement in the data model!If it's pl/sql you can probably use that in your query. Create some database functions for cf_ex and cf_ex2 and use these in your query.

Using a formula to fill a field

Post Author: dura13
CA Forum: Formula
Hi
Is there a means to use a formula to fill a field or add a filled text box.
I have a report that shows monthly sales for a year and i'm building a EOQ report that has a variable time frame (ie 5mnths, 6mnths,1 mnth, etc) that the user chooses to generate the EOQ numbers. I want to fill the monthly totals for the timeframe selected so they are highlighted and easier to distinguish on the report.
I've grouped the data by product and total sales for each month using whileprintingrecords. In this while printing records i'd like to fill or create a text box around the monthly total if the monthly timeframe is equal to or less than this month.
Is this possible?

CA Forum: Formula
I finally found the solution to this. It so much easier figuring out logic than the fancy bells and whistles to make the report work.
I used the format field and entered my formula into the background formula area.
I prompt the user for the number of months to go back to determine the avg monthly sales.
I then use this prompt in each months field :
IF 1 <= {?months} *this is the first months total field*
then
craqua
else
crnocolor
and repeat for each of the 12 months, using IF 2 <=, IF 3 <=, etc
Prob will try to get this to work for the font color as well by printing the font in black if its one of the months included and grey if its not.

Conditional Highlighting multiple cells

I've created a schedule for specific actions performed. There are over 200 actions and when I use one, it needs to be "unavailable" for the following 3 entries. If I can, I want to check the box on that cell and have it auto highlight that cell and the following three cells after so I can black it out until it's "available" again. Is there a way to do this?
EDIT: Also, if there is a way to auto check those 3 subsequent cells, I'm good with that too.

Like quinn's use of OR!
AppleScript is good at conditional highlighting of ranges. For example I get this when running the script below. (The actual table is formatted as checkboxes but shows here as TRUE and FALSE).

Copy the script, paste into AppleScript Editor, click once in the table (this is important or the script won't know which table you mean), and click the green triangle run button.
This works with Numbers 3. Numbers 2 would require changes in the script. Change orange to whatever you want.
SG
The script:
property firstCheckCol : 2
property firstDataRow : 2
tell application "Numbers"
set t to front document's active sheet's first table whose selection range's class is range
set vv to t's rows's cells's value -- place values in "list of lists"
set numCols to count vv's item 1
repeat with r from firstDataRow to count vv
repeat with c from 3 to numCols
tell vv's item r
try
if its item (my max(c - 1, firstCheckCol)) ¬
or its item (my max(c - 2, firstCheckCol)) ¬
or its item (my max(c - 3, firstCheckCol)) ¬
is true then
set t's row r's cell c's background color to "orange"
end if
end try
end tell
end repeat
end repeat
end tell

if x > y then return x
return y

How to get field data using a formula

I have a table with fields ‘pension contribution’ and ‘current year’.The first field stores a single record for a given year.Say if ‘current year’ is 2014 ‘pension contribution’ is 7% and so on.
I wanted to get a result by providing a certain year from another field in a table using a formula.
How do I do this?An explanation would be helpful.

Hi Nebil,
You can't! You'll need to join the the two tables or use a Subreport.

Can I use a formula node to start the execution of a case structure?

Hi,
I am working on editing a VI to make it much easier to understand (for colleagues and non LV users). For one reason or another, the VI's creators did not fully make use of the power of case structures and other structure types. In the application we need it for, the instrument cycles and repeats measurements on several objects. We are interested in measuring the motor currents for several motors in the system. As it stands now, for each sample object's run, there is a separate sub-vi diagram which displays its waveform trace and several indicators such as max current, time at max, etc. That code was contained within a T/F case structure and copied and pasted 20 plus times.... Obviously the vi became extrememly cluttered and needed a huge screen to see. The trigger for the current case structures is an EQUALS comparison between one input (which is the sample object counter; and this part I will likely leave unchanged since it makes a lot of sense already) and a constant which was defined 1 through 20+ for case.
I have since made one case structure and 20+ instances of that case and have labeled them (at the top selection box near the detent arrows) "1", "2", 3, etc. I am wondering if I can use a formula node to act as the "trigger" which sets each case structure running? I believe that a simple IF statement should work. Please see a snippet of my attempt at making this in C below.
For the node, I defined X as the input and Y as the output. The input to the node, X, is connected to the sample object counter. The output, Y, is connected to the case selector of the case structure. My attempt at the code is below:
int32 y
For(x == 1)
y = "1";
For(x == 2)
y = "2";
etc, etc.
Is that above code snippet correct? Do i need something like "ENDIF" or "end if" at the end? Does "y" have to be defined as "int32" or can it be something else?
Thanks for the help!

Is your formula node doing anything else besides what is shown?
Why don't you just wire the value that is going into it at X directly into the selector of the case structure?

In the icloud settings, I am told I need to accept the terms and conditions to use icloud. However, when I click on "Terms and conditions", I get a message "unable to connect to server". This has been happening for a week now since I upgraded to iOS 7.06. There is no problem with my wifi or cellular connectivity, all other applications work perfectly. P.S.I have never used icloud before, but wish to do so now. How do I overcome this problem?

Have you turned the iPad off then back on? That often helps with problems.

I need to get 2 decimal places when using a formula for a quotient and Numbers will only give me whole integers which is useless since most items will be less than 1. How can I change this?

How do I get 2 decimal places when using a formula for a quotient? It only gives me whole integers. Most of the results will be less than 1 so I need 2 decimal places

the quotient function returns only whole number portion of the dividing two numbers. If you want the actual decimal value use the divide operator. you enter this as:
A/B
if the numerator is in A1 and the denominator is in B1 you can enter the formula like this:
=A1/B1

Can you use a formula field as the default value of a parameter?

I'm wondering if you can use a formula field as the default value of a parameter. I have an date parameter that is being pulled from a stored procedure. When I run the report, it defaults to the current date and time. I would like it to default to he current date and have the time be 00:00:00

Hi,
Unfortunately, you cannot use a formula field as the default value of the parameter.
And, to get rid of the current time and show 00:00:00, all you need to do is Edit the parameter and set the 'Default Value' to 00:00:00. This will take care of the time portion, however the date portion would be set to the year 1899 and not the current date.
Hope this helps!

Condition type used for invoice list

Hello Gurus,
following condition type used for invoice list, why do they exit in invoice list:
RL00 MW15. LR00 RD01

Hi,
Please go through the below document
When you work with invoice lists, you need to be familiar with the following concepts:
Prerequisites for invoice lists
Relationship to Pricing
Structure of an Invoice List
Changing header and item data
Integration with financial accounting (FI)
Prerequisites
You can only process invoice lists if the following prerequisite data is defined by your system administrator in Customizing for Sales:
Condition type RL00 (factoring discount) must be maintained and, if required, also the condition type MW15.
An invoice list type must be assigned to each billing type that you want to process in invoice lists. The standard version of the SAP R/3 System includes two types of invoice lists: LR for invoices and debit memos, LG for credit memos.
Copying requirements must be defined (for example, the payer, terms of payment and other fields that must be identical in the documents to be included in the invoice list)
In addition, before you process an invoice list, you must maintain the following master data:
A customer calendar must be defined, specifying the time intervals or dates on which invoice lists are to be processed.
The customer calendar must be entered in the Billing Sales Area view of the customer master record.
Pricing condition records for the condition type RL00 and, if necessary, (e.g. in Germany) the condition type MW15 must be maintained.
Output condition records for condition types LR00 and RD01 must be created.
Relationship to Pricing
The system processes factoring discounts in invoice lists in exactly the same way as other kinds of pricing elements. The data for the factoring discount is stored in condition records. Controlling during document processing is carried out via condition types, pricing procedures and access sequences. This control data is defined in Customizing for Sales by your system administrator.
For further information, see Conditions and Pricing.
Structure of an Invoice List
An invoice list represents an individual billing document. It consists of a document header and document items. Each item represents a billing document that you have included in the invoice list. The header contains an overview of summary information, such as the net value of all documents in the invoice list, the value of the factoring discount, details of taxes, and so on. It also contains information on partners and output.
Changing Header and Item Data
You can change some of the header data - for example, the billing date - when you process the invoice list. You can change an item - either an individual or collective invoice - and display document details. However, you cannot change any data in individual billing documents once they are part of an invoice list.
It is possible, however, to make certain global changes to output in all items in an invoice list.
For further information on output, see Communication in Sales and Distribution Processing.
Integration With Financial Accounting (FI)
The documents that you want to combine within an invoice list must already have been billed and forwarded to Financial Accounting. Here the billing documents intended for an invoice list are blocked for normal dunning transactions.
The dunning block on FI documents is lifted as soon as you create an invoice list and transfer it to FI . The system then calculates the new dunning date for the invoice on the basis of the invoice list date.
In addition, the system enters invoice list numbers in the FI documents as reference numbers. Invoice list numbers can then be entered for incoming payments.
When you save the invoice list, the system automatically creates an accounting document for the factoring discount and possible taxes and posts it to the corresponding G/L account in FI.
Regards,
Murthy

Same condition type used in MM , error?

Hi ,
I am (SD) using the same condition type which is used by MM and maintained different condition records in VK11. when I created STO , MM condition value is posting right , But with relevant to STO and Del , I create billing document , here The condition records what I maintained in vk11 are missing. I have check each and every step. where could be the error exists? cant we use the same condition type used by MM , though we maintained different acceess seq and condition records in VK11?
Thank you,
Kanna Palle.

Hi,
I copied the condition type and changed the name , but its already used by MM. Its a STO process .STO to DEL to IV Billing.I maintained condition records in vk11.In the combination of plant and material , I find different field name for material (but its still named as material and the data element is different from what MM material field). Its confusing I think.
Precisely , I created access seq for plant and material , they field names are z123 and zabc. when I maintained condition records in vk11 , condition record saved in ZAAA and ZBBB fields. now at the time of Billing document , system throws an error saying, * condition record is missing * The system checks z123 and zabc for condition records , which are not there becos they are in the fields ZAAA and ZBBB.
At the time of Acc Seq creation , I tried to pick the same field which it shows in billing document.but that is not available in SD , its available only in ALLOWED FIELDS in MM. Pls Throw some light on this.
Thanks,
Kanna Palle.
Any updates on this Pls?

How can I convert from Modbus raw data to engineering units using a formula?

Within Lookout, I have several Modbus numerical input types that do not have a linear corespondence to the Engineering values they represent. How can I display these values accurately using a formula to convert from the raw data to an engineering value?

I don't quite understand your reply. I'm using Lookout 6.0.2, logged in as Administrator, in Edit Mode. The Modbus object is named RTU06_SAV. The Active member is 30002 with an alias of SAVfmSMT_RSL.
Following your instructions, I opened Object Explorer and right-clicked on RTU06_SAV.
This opened a menu containing: Refresh, Cut, Copy, Rename, Delete, Edit connections..., Edit Data Member Configuration, Configure Network Security and Properties.
I assumed that I should select Edit Data Member Configuration, but maybe I'm wrong.
Within Data Member Configuration I can set up Linear Scaling between Raw data and Engineering data. I know how to do that, but what I need to know is how to convert Raw data to Engineering data using a formula representing a non-linear transformation (such as a converion to a logarithmic value or perhaps a formula derived by fitting the formula to a curve on a calibration chart).
Once I have this my Engineering data can be represented on a control panel as both a numeric value AND as a correctly reading Gauge. It can also be properly represented on a HyperTrend graph.
What do you suggest?
