Formula for Average

CA Forum: Formula
Good Morning,
I have a ticket number field that is a string so all I can do is a count on the field. But I need to do an average. Does anyone know a formula for this?

What does the sting look like ?, is it just numbers, or numbers and characters 888-888-8888, depending on the string, you should be able to convert it to a number (using a formula) and then sum the formula. Please provide an example of your strings if you can.

8 rows selected.to arrive at bal_cost and avg.price, i need 1 more calculation for 'cost_of_sal' which is where i am stuck how to create it first and make use of that..
1) qty_on_hand running balance is OK..
2) cost_of_sale = when qty is -nve (i.e. pcode = 'INV') then take (1 row)previous value of Avg.Price and multiply by sold qty of current row.
3) bal_cost = when qty is +ve (i.e. pcode = 'PUR') then take (1 row)previous value bal_cost and add the trade_amt of current_row OR
when qty is -nve (i.e. pcode='INV') then take (1 row)previous vaue bal_cost and add the cost_of_sale of current_row
finally
4) avg.price = bal_cost / qty_on_hand

PLEASE HELP: PDF Forms, creating average formula for text?

Hello,
I really hope somone can help. I cannot find any answers to my questions on the internet, google etc.
First time using Acrobat. Im pretty quick learning on compters however the formulas my boss has asked me to do I have no idea if they are possible.
We have a report form for exams and each section I need to calculate the average mark for that section.
There are 3 questions for the first section. There are dropdowns for distinction, Merit, Pass and Below pass to select for each questions.
Please see picture attached to show you what I mean.
I want to be able to calculate the most selected/average dropdowns selected and not count the N/A's into award1 field?
The fields must be text and cannot be numbers.
so for example, track 1 got a distinction, track 2 got a Merit, Track 3 got a distiction. all other fields left n/a
is there anyway to do this also is there any way to exactly the same as above as check boxes? - please see picture attached
I appriciate any help. I am working on a mac
Thanks
Lauren

Thank you so much reply
Yes on the dropdowns the distincion, merit, pass or below pass values are in the correct areas ready for selection. For example on the distiction row you can only drop down for distinction and so on for Merit row dropdowns etc
Check box is the way I rather do it as its quicker, however I created the dropdown option just incase check boxes average was not possible
On the check boxes if i select merit for rtack 1 I would just tick the box and leave the the rest of the colum blank with no ticks. So just by seeing the tick I know its in the merit section for Track 1. However I donts know if I can do an average formula for with check boxes.
If I check boxed/slected distinction for track 1, distnction for track 2 and merit for track 3 (obvisley any box could be ticked depeneding how the exam went so need then all in the script). I would like it to then calculate the avergae mark which would be distinction in the award1 field. While the none ticked boxes or N/A fields not affecting the average.
This is just the start to a huge form Im doing Im dreading the rest of formulas I have to do lol
sorry if im confusing you

Formula for calculating the average takings for a given day in the week?

I would like to calculate the average takings for each day of the week for a given financial year.

Rick,
I've looked at your document, made some additions and returned it to you. In your document you were not only using AVERAGE, but also MIN and MAX. Unfortunately, MIN and MAX don't have "IF" versions, so they can't be used to selectively operate on data matching criteria in a range.
What I did to accommodate the need for MIN and MAX was to add a column for each criteria, in this case the different days of the week.
In your document you also indicated the need for a Chart to graphically summarize the performance by day of the week. I rearranged your summary stats table to facilitate creating a chart from that table. I chose the mixed category chart with Bars for Min and Max and a Line for Average.
Following are Screen Shots for the modified Data table, the Stats table and the Chart:
The key expressions are:
For Monday receipts:
=IF(WEEKDAY($B)=2, $G, "")
For Monday Minimum:
=MIN(INDIRECT("Ledger::"&CHAR(70+ROW())))
You had pre-filled Column A with 3-letter abbreviations of the Days of the Week. I am not sure this is important, since you could have formatted the Date (Column B) to show the same information, but I didn't like seeing the abbreviations for days that didn't have data entered yet so I replaced the text with an expression...
=IF(LEN(B)>0, LEFT(DAYNAME(WEEKDAY(B)), 3), "")
I seems that you may have filled the table with several months worth of rows of Mon, Tue, etc. Now, if you wish, you can trim the blank rows to just a few and add more as you need them.
Let me know if you have any questions about maintaining the document.

ADDRESS output as an argument for AVERAGE help.

I have column A with ~10,000 entries. I would like to know the average of 100 consecutive entries and use a slider control to supply the starting row number of the 100 rows.
I tried to start by using
=ADDRESS(D4,1,4) where the value of D4 is the determined by the slider control and,
=ADDRESS(D4+100,1,4) in an adjacent cell to give the ending value for the AVERAGE function.
I think the output of the ADDRESS function is seen as a string rather than an argument for the average function. Is this true? Does anyone have any slick ideas for creating a sliding averager?
Thanks for any thoughts.

In D3 I stored the number of rows to average
In D4 I stored the first row to average.
In D5 the formula is:
=AVERAGE(OFFSET($A$1,D$4,0,IF(D$3+D$4>ROWS($A),ROWS($A)-$D$4,$D$3)))
If there are D3 rows available starting from row D4 it averages these rows
If there are no such rows, it averages only the existing ones.
I didn't tested the case where D4 is greater than the number of existing rows.

Formula for calculating Quarter value in current calendar Year

Hi All,
I have a requirement where in i need to display values for Q1 of Current Calendar Year, Q1 of Previous Calendar Year,Variance in Value and % Variance in Value...Similarly for Q2,Q3,Q4.
We have built the report directly from Bex Query from the SAP tab in Crystal Reports. The formula for Quarter1,Variances etc are defined in Bex Structures and i am unable to get 'em individually here rather i am getting them as a whole in a single object with the structure name. Now is there a way that i can define my own formula in Crystal Reports so that i can get the values for the constraints defined above???
If yes please give me the syntax or an example formula so that i can work around.
please Help,
Thanks & regards,
R.N

What fields are you getting?
or what is the data you are working with is it
transID, date, value......
or is it
Q1, Year1, Value.......

In VB Programming code -- How to access the formula for suppressing a field

In VB Programming code -- How to access the formula for suppressing a field
I am using Crystal Reports 2008 v1
Using VB code, I am attempting to modify a Crystal Report before exporting it into a PDF format and then displaying it on the Web.
My problem is that I am unable to access the formula used to dynamically suppress a field.
The following code is working:
mySections = rd.ReportDefinition.Sections
For Each mySection As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.Section In mySections
   ' myFieldToChange is a String set to the text of the field I need to adjust the Suppression
   iloop = 0
   For Each RecObj As CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.ReportObject In mySection.ReportObjects
           If mySection.ReportObjects.Item(iloop).Name.ToLower = myFieldToChange Then
               myTextObject = CType(mySection.ReportObjects.Item(iloop), CrystalDecisions.CrystalReports.Engine.TextObject)
               myTextObject.Text = "new field text goes here"
               mySection.SectionFormat.EnableSuppress = True
               ' Here is where I want to change the formula for the Suppression
            End if
            iloop = iloop + 1
    Next
Next
I can not find any reference to the actual suppression formula in the SDK help file.
Note, the EnableSuppress can be set to True for False, but if there is a formula for dynamic suppression, the True or False value is overwritten. The results of the formula determine the suppression.
Is there a way to reference this formula. I know that I can put on in using the Crystal Report Designer software, I need to modify this formula using VB code and the SDK.

Hello, Mark;
If you are using the ReportDocument object you do not have access to the Conditional Suppression formula. You can get around it by using a formula field in the report for the supression and then using the FormulaField code to change it at runtime.
If you want to change the supression condition directly at runtime you need to use RAS and the ReportClientDocument.

How to write a formula for display the value by group

Post Author: abadugu
CA Forum: Formula
Hi
Could any one please help me on writing the formula for the below senario.
I'm creating Crystal report Via using ClearQuest (IBM tool) since this tool is not supporting subreport function. I'm planning to write a formula.
I have grouped report by request_type field (request_type field contains Validation Defect, Production Defect, Known Defect etc..)
right now my report output is grouped by request_type
ex:
Validation Defect
                     SUMMARY                                                          COMMENTS
Production Defect
                   SUMMARY                                                          COMMENTS
my question was
If request_type = Production Defect display pm_number value field otherwise display null
ex
Production Defect
PM#          SUMMARY                                                       COMMENTS
Validation Defect
                 SUMMARY                                                       COMMENTS
could you please help me writing a formula.
Thanks

Error in Fast Formula for Supplemental Earnings Elements

Hi,
I have an requirement in Supplement Earning Elements for US Localization. I need to define some Supplement Earning Elements that should comes in Payroll with the extension of existing Elements.
Here are the Steps for setups which i have done so far-
Step 1:Created new Elements with their values with effective dates for existing user Table name
Step 2:Done the setup for New Elements with classification as Supplemental and Category also attached the formula like "FLAT AMOUNT" formula for Calculation rule in Element Earning screen.
Step 3: when i tried to query for the element i have created, the value in Calculation Field is "Elementname_FLAT_AMOUNT_RWSI" which is not same for the existing elements.Existing Element which is of same classification and same category the Calculation rule field is "ElementName_FLAT_AMOUNT".
Step 4: After that i did setup for Element Description and Element Link.
Step 5: Then i have copied the Formula from Existing element(which is previously configured and working fine for the existing elements ), made the modifications for the newly created element. When Compiling the formula ,i am getting an Error "Incorrect Data type"
I have two queries -
1- The setup in Earnings Screen with Calculation Rule is correct or not. As the Calculation Field for newly elements and the existing elements are different (as mentioned in Step 3).
2- Compilation Error "Incorrect Data Types" in Fast Formula.(as mentioned in Step 5).
I m pasting the Fast Formula code here for ready reference

Can anyone help me in solving this problem. Any kind of pointers would be helpful.
Thanks
Pradeep.

Hi Pradeep,
Hope you created the new element using the 'Earnings Template' form. If it is created using the 'Earnings Template' form then the calculation rule
should be correct. You said you are modifying the new element formula by using the existing element formula code, have you checked if the
formula code to the old and new once have changed anything other than the element name and standard input elements reference. Try to use
the debug messages in formula and see if that give you any clue. You should find the document in metalink how to debug a formula.
Thanks,
Satin

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

Formula for completion date

Need to create a formula for this..
If a project completes on A and the date lies between B & C then "display late by 10 days"
if a project completes on D and the date lies between E & F then "display late by 20 days" and so on , there are 100's of projects and hundreds of completion dates.
what would be the best approach for this?
Any suggestions appreciated

You really need a Project target or due date and then calculate days late
@Late
If completiondate > targetdate then
datediff("d", targetdate, completiondate) else 0
You can then do banding on this
@overdue
If @late = 0 then 'Not Due' else
If @late in 1 to 9 then 'Less than 10 days overdue'
else
etc.
Hope that helps
Ian

How can I sum up raws? the sum function seems to work for columns only and right now I have to create a separate formula for each raw

How can I sum up raws? the Sum function seems to work only on columns. Right now I have to create a separate formula for each raw

Hi dah,
"Thanks, but can I do one formula for all present and future raws? as raws are being added, I have to do the sum function again and again"
You do need a separate formula for each group of values to be summed.
If the values are in columns, you need a copy of the formula for each column.
If the values are in rows, you need a copy of the formula for for each row.
If you set up your formulas as SGIII did in his example (shown below), where every non-header row has the same formula, Numbers will automtically add the formula to new rows as you add them.
"Same formula" in this context means exactly the same as all the formulas above, with one exception: the row reference in each formula is incremented (by Numbers) to match the row containing the formula.
Here the formula looks like this in the three rows shown.
B2: =SUM(2)
B3: =SUM(3)
B4: =SUM(4)
That pattern will continue as rows are added to the table.
Also, because the row token (2) references all of the non-header cells in row 2, the formula will automatically include new columns as they are added to the table.

Barry
