Creating formulas in Numbers

I want to create a spreadsheet that divides time by intervals within a track. For example, I want the top row to display times and the first column to display distance by 200 meter intervals. Is there a formula for that?
If a track runner wanted to run at a 6:00 pace, what would the time break down be for each 200 meter interval? What type of formula could I use for that. Of course 6:00 is easily divisible but not as much for me once we get into 6:13 pace, etc...

Betsy,
If the 6 minute pace is for a mile (I'm just guessing) then that defines how far a runner runs any fixed distance.
Here is a way to do this:
B5 contains the distance over which you want to get the check points and
B6 contains the duration over which a runner needs to cover the distance (duration means enter as "6m 0s" for 6 minutes 0 seconds)
row 1 contains checkpoints numbers 0 through 8
B2=B1×$B$5÷MAX(1:1)
this is shorthand for select cell B2 then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=B1×$B$5÷MAX(1:1)
select cell B2, copy, select cells B2 thru J2, paste
B3=B2÷($B$5÷DUR2SECONDS($B$6))
select cell B2, copy
select cells B2 thru J3, paste
the results in row three are in seconds

Creating formulas in Numbers - quick key to reference cells

Former Excel person, moving over to Numbers -- very simple question on how I can use keystrokes to reference cells when creating a formula, rather than typing in the cell or using the mouse. In Excel would just type "=", then could use the arrows keys to move around and go into the first cell for the formula, type "+", then arrow around to the second cell and hit Enter.

As Yvan has pointed out, Numbers offers an alternative to large spreadsheets, that being multiple tables & sheets. As you point out, moving around a large spreadsheet is not fast, even when using cursor keys (which I am assuming are the same thing as arrow keys, there being just the one set on my keyboard).
Assuming you can break your large spreadsheets down into smaller ones, you may find that navigation is remarkably quick because you can click on any table in any sheet to immediately jump to another one (even when creating cell or range references) rather than having to transverse large areas of a single spreadsheet one cell at a time.
If you are interested in exploring this approach, you may find my comments in the thread Generating values for grades useful as a description of how this can be applied when creating cell references in Numbers.
It may not be the right approach for your needs, but unless you know about it, you can't compare it to other approaches, right?

Error in creating Formula Variable

Hi All:
I'm having problems in creating formula variable. Trying to create FV on a characteristic using replacement path with attribute value , but the wierd part is it's not giving me any attributes it's just blank. Any help would be appreciated....
Thanks,

Right click on the FM, create -> Characteristic -> attribute value -> but the attribute are not showing up. This happens if the attribute is of key figure type. I was able to do this in another system (ASIA DEV) but now trying in Europe Dev.

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?

How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?
I try this:
tell application "Numbers"
make new document with properties {template name:"blank"}
end tell
But don't work.
Where can I find documentation about it?
Thanks

If you try to invent your own syntax, you are starting on very wrong basis.
The required syntax is defined by the Numbers AppleScript's dictionary.
This one doesn't know what is a template.
This is why, in the link posted by badunit, I use an other scheme to create a new document.
I know that it's awful but it's the only one available at this time.

How to create Formula based value field in COPA

Hi,
I want to know how to create formula based value field in COPA
My Requirement is i want to collect some value in formula based value field and want to use in copa allocation cycle as a tracing
factor.
anybody give some light on the same topic or requirement ?
Thanks
Nilesh R

The key figure you are creating in KE2K is not a value field, i.e. you can't post to it and you can't use it in a report. It is a caluculated value that can be used only in assessment and top-down-distribution.
In Ke2K, enter a name for your key figure, then click on the the white sheet button to create it. Now the formular area is open for input. Input your formular (e.g. VV001 + VV002 - VV003 .... where VVXXX are the technical names of value fields).
Now click the "check formuar"-button. Then save.
Before you can use the key figure in assessment, execute TC KEUG.
Now the key figure is available as any value field in the tracing factor selection of your assessment cycle.
I hope this made it clearer.
Regards
Nikolas

Function module to create formula profile : Device Management/ EDM

Hi experts!
We create Formula profile against register 2 of the bi-directional device using transaction EEDM06.
We create profile header by using function module "ISU_S_PROFHEAD_CREATE" but this function module doesn't have input parameter that need to passed specifically creating Formula profile like-
Formula Prof. Calc = ZNET (fixed)
Status Group = (i.e., value valid, est man, changed/entered, from date) fixed
Profile = Profile1 as allocated to RG-002. (always)
After saving this Formula profile header, allocate the profile to Device is also couldn't be done using function module ISU_S_PROFHEAD_CREATE .
Please help me is there specific function module to create Formula profile. If you need any clarification, please suggest.
Thanks,
Rohit

you could also create a master data template in EPRODCUST for MD Template Category INSTALLATION & EDM_PROFHEAD if you need to create the profile header.
We've wrapped some in function module interfaces for easy automation.
ISU_S_LPASSLIST_MAINTAIN is an internal function, so I dont recommend building anything on it.

Hi,
How to create formula variable, such that it will appear in the variable screen.

Hi,
the variables you create in formula function are local to the function.
Ex., DATA CST_ELMNT TYPE 0COSTELMNT.
DATA QTY TYPE 0QUANTITY.
To get the variables listed in the variable screen you need o create variables at aggregation/filter level for the required characteristics.
