Formula for arriving at percentage of increase/decrease

Does anyone know the formula in Numbers '09 to identify sales increase/decrease percent from one cell or date period compared to another? In Excel it is quite simple, i.e. =(B-A)/A and ENTER. This formula doesn't work in Numbers. I'd like to get deeper into Numbers but this is a stumbling block for me.
Thanks

Actually, this is the classic textbook manner in which we are trained to arrive at the value of a sales increase or decrease. If, for example we wish to compare December 2008 sales to December 2007 sales, the formula is =(DEC 08-DEC 07)/DEC 07. Then of course you would format the cell to % function and you're good.
The glitch in Numbers is, as you noted, one cannot click the (DEC 07) cell at conclusion. Your work-around in which one simply types it in solves the problem. Another poster offered advice but it was somewhat different, and that formula works perfectly but is used for a different purpose. That is a formula that seeks to identify the percentage of value or relationship between two cells, NOT the increase or decrease. THAT formula is =DEC 08/DEC 07.
Thanks all!

i'm not getting thegender percentage properly for girls and boys total percentage of boys and girls coming correctly but individual percentage is not properly coming...that's because in sp i gave calculation for only total percenatge ..how can i calculate
the individual percentage of girls and boys in single column...so that i can place in gender column in tablix..and i can retrieve individual percentgaes of girls and boys seperately as shown in output..
please reply..its urgent
thanks in advance..
lucky

please reply..its urgent
Here is a tip: if you want to tick off people from helping you, you should absolutely include "urgent" in your post. That's a good way to encourage people to move to the next post. I did see this one earlier today, but did not have the time.
Anyway, I cannot really make out heads or tails of your question. Your output takes about gender, but I cannot see it in the output from the query, which appears to group by "Foreign" and StateName. How does the boys and girls get into the picture?
And for that matter that "totals" column?

Bracket keys for increase/decrease on brush size don't update display settings - any workaround?

I’m a PS user new to Illustrator (CS6). In PS, using the bracket keys [] to increase/decrease brush point size will simultaneously update the data displayed in the tool panel at the top.
While I can use the bracket keys in Illustrator to change the appearance of the brush stroke, it is not being updated in the tool panel input or in the stroke window…so I can essentially have (2) 3 pt strokes created with the same brush that don’t visually match but whose display properties DO match. Because I will be doing lots of editing I certainly don’t want to work this way.
Is this just one of those glitchy things? Anyone know an alternate method that works?
TIA,
Kim

Hi Kurt-
Not the blob brush, just the basic 3 pt round paintbrush tool.

Needing to input formula for percentage

It need to look like this...(obviously I can do this part), but I need to input the formula for the third column to automatically take off the 30% discount from each list price (they will all be different. Then, I need the last column to keep the running total for all discounted prices column. I am having trouble finding this in the helps, as alot of the info is similar to what I need, but I have not found one that actually shows how to just take the 30% off the list price. Thanks a bunch for any help.

need formula for reducing 30% of list price
This column needs to keep a running total of discounted price

Hi gayle,
The formula in the 30% discount column (D2) is simply:
=C2*.3
Fill this down.
A running total of every number in column D would look like this:
SUM(D$2:D2)
fill this down.

Hello. I sent my WRT1900AC V1 to Linksys four days ago (Monday) via UPS with a RMA. Linksys paid the shipping and everything. The router is still in route, and it should arrive to their offices tomorrow. Once they receive the WRT1900 AC V1, they are going to send me an EA8500 as a replacement. But I have been reading the comments about the EA8500 here in the forum and it seems to have the same problems. I guess the firmware is extremely flawed in both routers (maybe it is almost the same code?). Anyway, I will try the EA8500 and I hope it works. I bought a temporary router from Walmart and I paid $35 for it. It is a Belink N600 DB. I can't believe that a $35 router is working a lot, lot, lot better than my previous $250 WRT1900AC router. Unbelievable. If the EA8500 doesn't work, I'm going to try and get my money back from Linksys, or contact The Consumerist or someone to get my money back and get a Nighthawk instead.

Is it possible to increase/decrease the number of sort columns in Advanced Sort dialog?

I am using Panel Collection and a Table. When I visit View->Sort->Advanced, I get Advanced Sort dialog with 3 column choices. Is there any setting exists which will allow you to increase/decrease number of columns presented for sorting?

Is it possible to increase/decrease pages based on a number selected from a dropdown?

I need to the end user to fill out information on between 1 and 5 properties. Is it possible to increase/decrease the number of identical forms pages based on a dropdown from page one? For example, if the local property manager decides there are 3 competing properties being developed, they will select 3 from a dropdown on the first page and three identical pages will be generated.
Thanks

Increasing/Decreasing "Gain" to a microphone in the FlexiJack.

HIncreasing/Decreasing "Gain" to a microphone in the FlexiJack.y I have the problem with my Xfi Titanium, that it has too much gain so when gaming, people hear me typing and I get weird echos while recording, there needs to be a gain control for the Flexiport, cause if this was at a lan party no one would be able to hear me over the noise of hundreds of desktops running at full power, with monitoring on I can hear each key stroke at any volume rate for my headset and the "mixer" doesn't help, just decreasing the output volume does not equal gain. In the next version of drivers make the mixer more like an actual mixer and include a gain knob or check box. SOMETHING!
Below is an example of an actual mixer channel strip, gain is refered to pre-amp and disregard the aux sends unless you guys want to have the ability to send through different outputs on the card and other hardware.
If you guys truly pride yourself on audio quality add gain, please. Then will this be the ultimate audio solution.
P.S. Should I actually send this to someone other than a mod?

LRe: Increasing/Decreasing "Gain" to a microphone in the FlexiJack.x Ok, forget the gain for right now, I do I stop the echo when I have the line in/Mic in monitor mode? It is not just a delay or something, I hear two separate signals one that is real time, desired output, and one that is delayed just enough to be noticeable so like 5ms at least. Does any one know how to fix this?
Current setup: Headphones plugged into the Front left and right and I have my mic plugged into the FlexiJack with the Microphone option checked. Enhancements make no difference and everything is default, besides FlexiJack. the only time I can get it to stop temporarily is by changing the Speaker Configuration between 2/2. and Headphones this only works for about an hour before the echo returns no settings were changed no application was launched, nothing.
Thanks in advance. Tell me if I should just go to the real tech support.

Actually, I want to increase/decrease the column width in Interactive Report.
As shown the in the example of Description field...it's coming in 4-5 lines.
I want to increase the width of Description column..so that it should come only in 2 lines..

Formulas for blending modes

Hi,
I want to truly understand layer blending modes so I can use them better and predict their impact. I know from Bruce Fraser's books that the formula for the Multiply Mode is:
result = (top_pixel * bottom_pixel) / 255
This is great for me (I have a BS in Math). The question is: how are the other modes calculated? For instance, i am having trouble figuring out the Color Burn Mode...
Thanks,
Juan Dent

Color burn is a little easier to calculate in CMYK because the numbers are expressed as %
Base % / (1 – Blend %)
For example, bottom layer is 40M. Make a layer above with Color Burn, fill with 50M
.4 / (1 – .5) = .8
The color result is 80M
Because of this relationship, if the base % is half of the blend % the color result matches the blend color:
.25 / (1 – .5) = .5
You could probably arrive at a reliable result using a similar formula in RGB, but the numbers get crunched differently when dealing with 0 - 255
To get multiply in CMYK I always use
(Base % + Blend %) – (Base % x Blend %)
So if bottom layer is 40M. Layer above is multiply, 50M
(.4 + .5) – (.4 x .5) = .7
Perhaps this formula is wrong somehow but it seems to work for me.

Formula for cross tab row

Post Author: bvandyck
CA Forum: Formula
The results of a row in a cross tab report need to be split out by percentages and added to the results of other rows. Each row is an individual, except one row is a combination of individuals. Certain individuals share in the results of the combination row. The combination row will be zero after being added to the individuals' rows. What is the formula for achieving this?

Hi,
U may create a new formula for that.
There is an option in cross tab expert for new formula.
U may create a formula of your choice and then insert in report.

Now to define new formulas for pricing?

can any one please tell me a business scenario where one needs to define a new pricing formula, and how can one can do that in the system?
points will be rewarded immediately.
thanks
PR

Hi,
As our friends suggested you can create new formulas for pricing with the Transaction code VOFM.
Process is use VOFM(Transaction code)------>in top menu you can see Formulas, select appropriate option in Formulas lke.. Condition base value, Condition Value etc.,
Please go through detail information:-
Formulas are represented as FORM routines. They are used in pricing and influence the determination of prices according to predefined rules. You can specify them in pricing control. The following groups of formulas exist:
Scale base value
The scale base value includes FORM routines which determine the scale base value according to criteria that are not defined in the standard system. You enter the scale base value in the Scale formula field. A formula for the scale base value can define, for example, that partial quantities are taken into account.
Condition base value
Formulas for the condition base value take into account criteria not defined in the standard system. You enter them in the Alternative formula for condition base value field in the pricing procedure. A formula for the condition base value can define, for example, that the condition determination is based on net value or volume.
Condition value
Formulas for determining of the condition value include routines which determine the condition value according to criteria not defined in the standard system. You enter the formulas for the determination of the condition value in the Condition formula for alternative calculation type field in the pricing procedure. A formula for the condition value can define, for example, that the system determines the best price for the customer.
Structure of group key
Using this menu entry, you can edit routines that determine the base value for the scale value if group conditions are used in pricing. The system then calculates the base for the scale value from more than one document item. You can enter the routines in the Group condition routine field on the screen for defining condition types. A routine for the determination of the scale valuecan define, for example, that only a particular condition type is taken into acount.
Rounding rules
Using this entry, you can create and edit FORM routines that carry out a particular type of rounding in the condition record during a price change. A rounding rule could round a price that was increased by 1% to the last two places behind the decimal point, for example.
Procedure
To define your own formulas, proceed as follows:
1. First check whether you can use the formulas delivered with the standard system.
2. Either overwrite an existing formula or select a group number from the number range reserved for customer modifications (600-699) and enter the corresponding description.
3. Program the formula in the editor.
4. Activate the formula.
5. Enter a long text that describes the meaning of the formula in more detail.
6. Enter an application if you want to use the formula in a particular application area only (pricing, for example).
7. Enter the formula in the appropriate place of the control
NOTE:- to create new routine get Access key from Basis.
I hope it will help you to define formulas for pricing.
Regards,
Venkat

Time stretch: ramp increase/decrease

Is it possible to gradually increase /decrease the % of a video?
I have TGA footage that I’d like to begin at normal speed then gradually increase this to about 50%.
I’m fairly certain the built in Tim Stretch functionality isn’t capable of this, but was wondering if there was perhaps an expression, or clever workaround?
Any ideas?
Thanks

Wow, you’re right..
I’ve been using Time Remapping as a method of simply jumping between time intervals..
…forgot it can be used for slow motion effects and such.
