Does Numbers have a Data Analysis function similar to "Goal Seek" in Excel?

Does Apple's Numbers application have a Data Analysis function similar to the "Goal Seek" function in Excel?

No, Numbers doesn't have Goal Seek or anything like it.
You can set up Slider controls to facilitate playing with key variables in your expressions, but Numbers doesn't have any capability to make the adjustments itself.

  • Does Numbers have an INSERT Header function as in Appleworks?

    I'd like to insert a Header or title ontop of my spreadsheet
    but it appears that command has also been stripped out of
    Numbers (was there in Appleworks)
    Is this command still around?
    Thanks in advance

    Select the table in the side bar, double click and rename it if needed.
    Inspector > Table > Select the box before the table name on the top.
    Go back to your table > click on the title slowly twice ( A box the same width of the table will appear around it) and reset the font, size and colour on the format bar.
    If you want the title to be further away from the table ~ Inspector > T > Text > Move the after paragraph slider.

  • Clean up old SID values from an InfoObject that does NOT have master data

    I have a characteristic infoobject that does NOT have Master Data but it has a SID table. I assume that it is used primarily for the F4 value help. Now we have changed some of our data for this infoobject in R3 so that some of the values in the SID table will never be used again. My problem is that these values are still displayed in the F4 value help. And because the old values are very similar to the new values some users mistakenly pick the old value and then the query results come back empty.
    FYI - The datasource that uses this infoobject as an attribute is extracted from R3 in a Full load each night. So there is no risk that the old values in the SID table will be needed in any Master Data/Cubes/DSOs/etc.
    Is there a way to delete the unwanted SIDs from this table /BIC/SXCSAOFREG? Or is there some way to make sure that the unwanted SIDs to not show up in the F4 value help?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi David,
    Goto SE14 trans --> ENter the table name as  /BIC/SXCSAOFREG. Select the "Edit" radio button. Then Select "Delete Data" radion button & click on "Activate & adjust database". But be very careful NOT to click on Delete Database table(This will delete the physical database table!!!

  • Does Apple have any plans for a similar app as Samsung S Drive?

    Does Apple have any plans for a similar app as Samsung S Drive?
    Samsung recently released 'S-Drive' - an app for their Samsung Galaxy program which only allows certain features to be used when driving. I much prefer my Apple iPhone, but as my children grow up, this is much safer. Thoughts?

    Ah, sorry fellas, and thanks for clarifying that for me.  I thought Apple would also have tech's who monitor / respond in these forums.  My bad.  Cheers though... and let's see what they (might) do.
    Is there any way to encourage them / let them know of apps such as this and that it might be a good thing?

  • Function equivalent of Goal seek as in excel

    hi
    oracle 10.2.0.1.0
    Is thr any fucntion in oracle equivalent to that of Goal seek in excel ?
    please help

    Goal Seek
    Goal Seek is used when you know what answer you want, but don't know the exact figure to input for that answer. For example, you're quite certain that 8 multiplied by something equals 56. You just not sure what that missing number is. Is it 8 multiplied by 6? Or Is it 8 multiplied by 7? Goal Seek will tell you the answer.
    We'll test that example out right now. So start a new spreadsheet, and create one the same as in the image below:
    Before you can use Goal Seek, Excel needs certain things from you. First it needs some sort of formula to work with. In the image above we have the simple formula =B1 * B2. We've put this in cell B3. But the answer is wrong for us. We had a Goal of 56 (8 times something). We want to know which number you have to multiply 8 by in order to get the answer 56. We tried 8 times 6, and that gave the answer of 48. So we have to try again.
    Instead of us puzzling the answer out, we can let Goal Seek handle it. So do the following:
    From the Excel menu bar, click on Tools
    From the drop down menu, click on Goal Seek
    A dialogue box pops up like the one below:
    The dialogue box needs a little explaining. "Set cell" is the answer you're looking for, this is the Goal. Set cell needs a formula or function to work with. Our formula is in cell B3, so if your "Set cell" text box does not say B3, click inside it and type B3.
    "To Value" is the actual answer you're looking for. With "Set cell", you're just telling Excel where the formula is. With "To Value" you have to tell Excel what answer you're looking for. We wanted an answer of 56 for our formula. So click inside the "To Value" text box and type 56.
    "By Changing Cell" is the missing bit. This is the part of the formula that needs to change in order to get the answer you want. In our formula we have an 8 and a 6. Clearly, the 6 is the number that has to go. So the cell that needs to change is B2. So go ahead and enter B2 in the "By Changing Cell" text box. Your dialogue box should now look like this:
    Click OK when your dialogue box looks like the one above. Excel will then Set the cell B3 to the Value of 56, and change the figure in cell B2. You'll also get a dialogue box like the one below:
    Click OK on the dialogue box. Your new spreadsheet will look like this one:
    So Goal Seek has given us the answer we wanted: it is 7 that when times by 8 equals 56. courtesy : http://www.homeandlearn.co.uk/me/mes8p4.html

  • IPad Excel Data Analysis Function

    Hello there,
    I am stuck with a question no one seems able to answer- I've tried all three of our local Apple stores and they haven't been able to tell me. I also don't know any iPad users that have been able to give me an answer either.
    I have been using a 5S and am very familiar with the functionality of Numbers and Pages. However, I'm a finance student and the fact of the matter is that I have to have access to Excel. I've invested YEARS and thousands of dollars into the iOS ecosystem and I'm very torn over what to do next. I'm hoping to migrate permanently from a laptop to a tablet for my productivity, which involves extremely heavy duty (5+ hours daily) word processing and spreadsheet creation. Pages handles the job just fine, but Numbers isn't really cutting it; Excel is simply the de facto standard in my line of work. I was pleased as punch when Microsoft finally launched Office for iOS. If the simple functions were all I needed, my choice would be open and shut. However, it's not. I must have access to the Solver and Data Analysis toolpaks. This is where it gets tricky. I have been told by Mac users running Excel that data analysis is not natively supported as it is on a Windows machine. Fine. However, no one I know is using full Office through iOS and no one at the Apple Store has been able to answer me definitively on this, either. Does anyone out there know first hand if the Data Analysis and Solver toolpaks are available on iOS version of Office? I would like to avoid fussing around with another tablet (quality, etc) and the fact that iOS is the only mobile operating suite where I can seemlessly blend Google, Apple and Microsoft, I am really, really, really hesitant to leave it. I am not willing to shell out the money for Office on iOS and run it on my phone (though I love that idea) just to find that it won't do data analysis (I'm all for experiments but that's a bit pricey for a student). Thanx for your time.
    TL:DR, does the new Microsoft Office for iOS provide Solver and Data Analysis toolpaks in Excel?

    I know what the toolpaks are (in the Mac version of Excel they're referred to as "add ins"), and again, I can find no evidence that Microsoft supports toolpaks/add-ins in Excel for iPad.
    If you wish to confirm this with other users, I'd suggest you ask in the Excel for iPad forum:

  • HT1976 why is my iphone 4 does not have cellular data network only cellular data

    why is my iphone 4 does not have a cellular data network and apn only cellular data without apn settings,thanks

    # Settings > Refresh apps on background. I would suggest to completely turn that off
    # Settings > Privacy > Location tracking > Only Maps, Google Maps are allowed to use location tracking in my case, you could also turn that off completely or be very selective which apps can use your GPS.
    # Settings > E-mail, calendar .. >deselect 'Push' and set it to either Fetch e.g. once an hour for all separate e-mail accounts you have. In your case you could set it to Manual so you won't use any data as long as you won't open your E-mail app and manually download e-mails.
    It could also be that there is still an app running in the background as i had. See also this post.
    In that case you need to dive into the Settings > General > Info > Diagnostics and Use >
    Diagnostics and Use >logs per app to determine which app isn't closed although you turned off your phone (or even in my case reset to factory settings  without backup). It's unfortunately pretty hard to find the app that is causing this. Therefore i wish Apple would come up with a better solution for this to see which processes/app(s) should be killed (now the best solution is removing the app completely).

    Why is my iphone 4 does not have a cellular data network only cellular data

    Hi beingkejo,
    Thanks for visiting Apple Support Communities.
    Toggling Airplane mode and cellular data are good troubleshooting steps. If your iPhone still does not connect to cellular data automatically when Wi-Fi disconnects, I recommend the additional steps in this article:

  • There is a "Solver" in EXCEL. Does Numbers have something which corresponds to this function?

    Hi
    Is there a "Solver" for Numbers?

    Kramu,
    I think the closest thing to Solver in Numbers is to program Sliders or Steppers to vary values that are input to calculations leading to a result that you want to optimize. The function LINEST, used with the "more stats" option turned on might play nicely into this approach.
    I've not used Solver, but I know enough about it from reading this same question and it's responses over the years to say that Numbers doesn't have it.
