Formula that creates additional rows

Greetings everyone. I am fairly new to Apple numbers. I have a spreadsheet that calculates an investment return for clients year by year based on their age. I need the spreadsheet to go out to the clients age 100. There is an input page that I put in the clients age as well as additional information that it uses to calculate the investment return. It then takes the clients age and starts off the first column (client age) with that value. Each row has about 5 columns with different information being displayed. I am looking for a way for numbers to take the clients age column and automatically continue to create additional rows until it gets to the clients age 100. I would want each additional row to have the same formatting, formulas, and color scheme as the row before it. Is their a formula that would do this or do I need to create some sort of script?
Thank you,
Matt S.

You can put the last row (the totals) in a footer and it will always be there or it can be a regular row that is TRUE so it is not hidden.
If you make the table 125 years in length and automatically hide the unnecessary rows as I have outlined, you won't have to add rows, subtract rows, or tailor it in any other way for each client. It will tailor itself to the correct length based on the age you specify on the client's input page. And next year, when they are a year older, you can change their age in the client input page and the table will change accordingly.
Depending on how you handle the formulas within the spreadsheet, you can sum things up the normal way with the SUM function or you can sum them up with SUMIF where the "if" is "if the row is TRUE". In other words, if every row that is FALSE has zeros, you can use SUM; if the rows that are FALSE have nonsensical numbers, you could use SUMIF. Formulas for things like rate of return might take some finessing but they too can be done. Any charts you might have can be made to not show hidden data (it's a checkbox), so they too are not a problem.
I guess I'm from the school of "if it can be done within Numbers, then do it within Numbers" versus throwing scripts into the mix. It will be more versatile and portable if it does not require a script because a script is a separate entity, not part of the spreadsheet. Also, if you make changes to the spreadsheet, you may have to make corresponding changes to the script. That's just my opinion. It's your call. I'm sure Yvan can set you up with a terrific script.

How to add one button at top of table that creates new rows each time a user clicks on it?

In the help guide, there is an example of adding buttons to each row - an Add Row and Delete Row button. I am interested in having one button at the top of the table that can add rows.

Hi,
You can create a table with a header row, where you can place your add button in one of its cells.
Then you need a script to create a new row in the buttons click event. In a table named 'Table1' with a row named 'Row1' it looks this way:
Table1._Row1.addInstance()

Store multiple values in a column instead of creating additional rows

Hi there :)
Can you guys show me a technique to translate the following result set:
Bus_ID Driver_Name State
1 Alan FL
1 Alan FL
1 Dan WA

Into:
Bus_ID Driver_Name State
1 Alan, Dan FL, Wa
2 Lukas, George FL, WA
How can this result be achieved?

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. The useless text you posted is not a table! There is no key, and you want to destroy First Normal Form (1NF). Please, please, please read just one book on RDBMS so we will not have to read another posting like

I need help creating a formula that looksup cell data and give a value.

I want to have the table "At a glance" show the total days a driver has worked, there total in sales and there total in milage. The table shown is a example of what I want to have happen. I want to input any name into cell B2,C2,D2,ect. that is found in the row C2:C17 of Checkpoint (Truck 1) and Checkpoint (Truck 2) and return the total amount of day the driver has driven both trucks, The total in sales the driver has collected (Truck 1 and 2) and How many miles the driver has driven (Truck 1 and 2). I realize that these tables are not labeled correct. If I enter a name into B2 and the driver associated with that name hasnt driven then I want "N/A' to show in cell B2 and so one. I assume that the formula that is created for cell B2 will be copied and pasted into cell C2, D2, ect..
If someone could help me with this problem I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks.

Hi br,
To show the number of days worked by a driver, you need to COUNT the number of times that driver's name appears in row 2 of both tables.
To calculate his total sales and total mileage, you need to SUM the amounts he brought in each day and the distances he drove each day.
Your functions for this are COUNTIF and SUMIF.
Formulas in At a Glance:
B2: =COUNTIF(Truck 1 :: $3:$3,B$1)+COUNTIF(Truck 2 :: 3:3,B$1)
B3: =SUMIF(Truck 1 :: $3:$3,B$1,Truck 1 :: $5:$5)+SUMIF(Truck 2 :: $3:$3,B$1,Truck 2 :: $5:$5)
B4: =SUMIF(Truck 1 :: $3:$3,B$1,Truck 1 :: $12:$12)+SUMIF(Truck 2 :: $3:$3,B$1,Truck 2 :: $12:$12)
Fill all three formulas right to the last column of At a Glance.
To put N/A in place of the 0 in Roger's column and the empty columns, wrap each of the formulas in an IF statement:
Bn: =IF(AND(ISERROR(MATCH(B$1,Truck 1 :: $3:$3,0)),ISERROR(MATCH(B$1,Truck 2 :: $3:$3,0))),"N/A",formula)
Where formula is the formula used in column B above.

Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource hours into full time units in project server 2010

Hi
Is it possible to create a formula that converts a resource available hours into full time equivalent units in project server 2010? Say a resource has 160 available hours for any given month this will translate into 1 FTE for this month. If it is 80 hours
for that month then it will be 0.5 FTE and so on and so forth.
Thanks,
-Maurizio

Maurizio,
It's a bit late, but there are two OLAP cubes that can provide you with this information in a pivot table in Project Server 2010.
"MSP_Portfolio_Analyzer" and "Resource Timephased" contains capacity measures that be used to provide calculated measures when the cube database is generated. You change OLAP cube configuration in "Server Settings -> Database Administration -> OLAP
Database Management". In either of the aforementioned cubes, use "Calculated Measures" to create two measures:
Member Name
MDX Expression
Available (FTE)
([capacity]-[work])/[capacity]
Work (FTE)
[Work]/[Capacity]
These two fields will appear in the pivot table field list as "Values", and when combined with a "Time" column, can give you a picture of FTE usage and availability.
I prefer the portfolio version since it contains project/assignment data and resource data, letting you see just how resources are being utilized.
One thing I have not been able to get around is getting ""Maximum Units" for a resource factored into the measure. A common practice is to allocate more that "100%" to generic resources to represent teams for planning purposes. The OLAP measures will show
only 0.0 to 1.0 FTE for any resource, even if a resource represents more than one body.
If you have an SSRS query you could share, I would appreciated it!
Hope this helps!

How can I create additional "Sent Mail" folders so that I can organize my sent mail along the same lines as the inbox? I use Mail v 4.5

How can I create additional or sub "Sent Mail" folders so that I can organize my sent mail along the same lines as the inbox? I use Mail v 4.5.

Thank you for your reply Don, but I had already gone through that procedure and it will only create new mailboxes for received mail. I want to create new mailboxes for sent mail, i.e. the first column being "to" not "from". Under the Mailbox menus there is an option "Use This Mailbox For" but all the options under that (including Sent) are greyed out. Unfortunately the View/Columns option to change from "From" to "To" changes all mailboxes not just the active one.

How can I create a custom formula that checks if a PC file exists? (CR10)

Post Author: lgayosso
CA Forum: Formula
Hello,
I need to create a formula that validates whether a PC file exists or not to display a message ('File Found' or 'File not found'). I created a custom formula that displays the appropriate message based on a report field composed of the FilePath + FileNameWithExtension that works correctly if the field includes a value or not (Basic Syntax below):
If {ctDocumentImages.ImgPath} <> "" Then Formula = "File Found"Else Formula = "File not found"End If
Now I want to validate that the {ctDocumentImages.ImgPath} value corresponds to an existing file; that is, I need to check that the file specified at {ctDocumentImages.ImgPath} location truly exists to determine that the file is actually 'found'. How can I accomplish this?
Any help is greatly appreciated,

( my file connection name was CrystalReports_Reports.File Name) I have generated a report, that shows all my rpt file names, size, last updated.... etc )
Go to database expert, create new connection, select file system data, your starting directory will be
genplex\E\JEMS51_Server\Imaging\Int\2007\..... you can then report on the file names found in that directory / subdirectory, etc... When creating the link you can select all files, or just *.rpt for example
Ok, so you define more than one connection on your report to be able to access the File System Object, right? The problem is that my reports are generic and meant for distribution for customers where no generic base folder will exist. The value of the starting directoy is then unknown, FilePath+Name then can be any value.

Please can you help my Register of names... I want a formula that simply adds numbers in a horizontal row of cells that increase as I add them. It can not be a range of selected cells because as I add new cells they are not in the range. Thanks..

Hi Dave,
Any formula that references its own row will return the error message you see unless it is in a Header column.
Convert columns B, C and D to Header Columns, and Jerry's formula will work just fine:
One caution, though—multiple header columns are a known factor in slowing Numbers down as the table gets larger. You can avoid adding header columns by specifying a 'fixed' range of cells from wich to get the sum and count values in C2 and D2.
Make sure the range includes at least one 'extra' column. As more runs are added, add columns by inserting them before this 'extra column. If the new columns are inside the range specified in the formula, Numbers will adjust the formula to add the new columns. If they are outside the range, you will need to edit the formulas yourself.
Note revised formula:
To add four more runs, click on any cell in column L, then press option-left arrow four times to insert four new columns. Note the change in the formula:
The last column is always included in the formula, but never gets counted (or summed) because its content is interpreted as a Text value, not a number.
Note: Except for the change formulas and added columns, this is your original table, with one Header row and one Header column.

11.1.2 FR Column formula not working for rows other than first

Hi All,
I've a FR Grid with following layout
Columns: Budget, Forecast, Var(Var being a formula col with the formula COL[A]- COL)
Rows: Children of Total_Cost_Centre, Children of Total_Projects, ACC.10101
Suppress MISSING on for row
When i run the report, the rows show the valid combinations having data but the VAR column shows value only for the first combination while for rest of the rows it shows 0.
The row selection is in one row only, not separate rows so there is no specific setting that could create the difference in results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Abhishek

Master-Detail: create detail-row(s) with id already filled in

I have two tables with an one-to-many relationship (connected by 'id'). If you select a row from the master-table, you'll see the detail-table (with the various row's belonging to the master-record). Now I made a button which users can use to add additional rows to the detail-table. They get a form which they can fill in and submit, the only problem is... I don't want them to manualy fill in the id, this should be the only field that should already be filled in (or better should be invisible, but filled in). So they should select a master-row first and then click 'add' to add a detail-row(s) to it. But I have absolutely no clue how I can do this... I tried creating custom create methods in the view-object or entity-object... but the problem I keep running into is where to get the row-iterator... I have know idea if this is the right direction to look for, maybe somebody can give me some advice.
Thanks in advance...!

Steven, hope you can help me out once more...
I have the same problem with a different view object, I'll explain...
First of all I set jbo.locking.mode to 'optimistic', now the problem...
I have two entity objects (Mbrships and Mbrshiphistory) which are connected by a foreign key (created in the database) on MbrshipID. Mbrshipshistory is also connected to the Aff entity object by a foreign key on AffID. The idea is simple... there are affiliates and a couple of memberships. An affiliate has/had a membership, that's where the membershiphistory-table comes in, which stores AffID, MbrshipID, DateFrom, DateTo and some other values.
Now, what I created... JDeveloper created entity-objects of all the tables and made associations of the foreign keys. I created the following view objects: http://213.93.142.238/oracle/datamodel.jpg and application module: http://213.93.142.238/oracle/applicationmodule.jpg The (MemberToMembershipHistory) view link between Members and MembershipHostory is based upon the association between the two tables.
The following is a screenshot of my struts-config.xml: http://213.93.142.238/oracle/struts-config.jpg
Editing mbrshiphistories works fine, but I get the following error when I try to add one: oracle.jbo.InvalidOwnerException: JBO-25030: Failed to find or invalidate owning entity. I also don't see the AffID already filled in in the add/edit-screen (same problem as in the opening-post) when I try to add one. I double-checked everything, but I can't find the problem. Do you know what I do wrong...?

Formulas results outside of row and column axis

The report has an area of row axis and column axis. This area is where the results from BW are displayed.
We have a requirement where we would have to create formulas using the BW Analyzer results of the row axis and column axis and display the results after the last row of this area.
For example, after the BW Analyzer displays the result area to the Excel, we are required to take Excel Cell D10 * C7 and put the results to B33.
<b>B33 = D10*C11</b>
Excel row 30 is the last row from the row axis result area.
I have searched through the forum for Cell Editor, but it seems that the requirement is to use 2 structures and use Cell Editor only when there is a formula collision. Our requirement has 1 structure, but I guess we can create the other structure for the column axis results. But still I think Cell Editor is a computation of formula collision within the row and column axis result area.
My question is will Cell Editor meet our requirement if we want to get formula results from the row and column axis and then display the results outside of the row and column axis result area?
Our approach was to use the Excel cell formulas in the workbook or possibly macros, but it seems that the Excel formulas will do.
Would someone clarify about the Cell editor for this requirement and how would you approach this?
Would this be effective to do the formulas from the query level? We are working on 3.5 SP11.

Can Cell editor do the following:
1. Create structures
2. Run the query
3. The results of the structures are displayed in the row and column axis of the BEx Analyzer
4. Save as a workbook
5. Use the Cell Editor to pick and choose the cells (Not the Excel cells) to create formulas
6. The formula results are then displayed outside of the row and column axis.
Would this be another approach?
What scenario can Cell editor be used? What scenario can Cell editor not be used?
Thanks

Create additional column

I have no experience or training in Illustrator and am trying, with the aid of Classroom in a Book to pick it up as I go along. I have a table with several columns. I need to add an additional one. I'm thinking I'd do that by using Area Type Options but every time I click on Type, Area Type Options is always greyed out. What am I doing wrong, not doing?
All advice much appreciated.
Thanks

I have a table with several columns.
When discussing Illustrator (or any program, really), it's really important to carefully state what kind of objects you are actaully describing. There is no "table" object in Illustrator. You may have AreaType objects or PointType objects or PathType objects arranged in columns or rows. If they are PathType or AreaType objects, they may or may not be Threaded so that continuous text auto-flows between them. You may have a "single" AreaType object spit into columns and rows (which is really nothing more than multiple threaded AreaType objects with a "live" edtiability regarding the number of columns and rows and their spacing).
Illustrator's convoluted and problematic text handling is very outdated, very poor, and is probably the worst program in the world for creating what most people mean by a textual or data "table." It provides no end-of-column character, so if text is threaded, you can't properly force continuous text to jump to the next threaded "cell" (text object) before you reach the text-content limits of the object. (In fact, Illustrator's Find & Replace feature doesn't even provide a special character to facilitate searches for hard returns!)
In threaded PathType objects, a hard or soft return will cause threaded text to jump to the next object, but that, of course, makes it impossible to use hard or soft returns normally within a single "cell" of the "table" you try to build that way.
In any proper table feature, ordinary tab-delimited text automatically flows into the row/column cells. Good luck on trying to make that happen in AI.
The only decent way to make a textual table of continuous text in Illustrator is by using paragraph styles with Tabs set to delineate columns. But again Illustrator falls short because there is no way for tab stops except the last one to allow for differing numbers of lines. (Even Adobe InDesign has this problem.) So using paragraph styles and tabs, whenever you need an inner column cell to contain additional lines is to resort to entering the additional lines in what what would really be additional "rows" (paragraphs), and tab-tab-tabbing to the appropriate "column."
Despite Illustrator's unnecessary feature glut complication, the only decent way to fake a proper text table (one that allows for automatic content-driven row height in any column) in Illustrator is to just arrange a bunch of un-threaded text objects in a grid, key text into them individually, and manually adjust their height or spacing as needed for multiple lines in a "cell" of a "row." Utterly lame.
I need to add an additional one.
You can add a column to an AreaType object, since that's the only kind of threaded text construct in AI that has any "live" editability. But doing so will cause the threaded text to reflow in the new order. So you can't, for examle, insert an additonal column between existing columns and have the text of existing columns stay where it should be, as is possible in any proper table feature.
If your "table" is a bunch of individual threaded AreaType objects, then you could marquee select the existing columns to the right of where you want the new column, drag them rightward, create a new column of text objects in the vacated space. But then you'd have to tedously re-llink the flow order.
So again: In short, don't expect anything like a conventional-wisdom text table functionality in Illustrator. It isn't there.
In FreeHand, Adobe owns an innovative and elegant text-handling feature which allows you to set continuous text in a table fashion using nothing but paragraph styles. The elegantly unobtrusive feature is a Wrapping Tab stop. Using that feature, you can make any tab stop(s) in continuous paragraphical text automatically accommodate as many lines as needed. Adobe would do very well to incorporate this feature in all of its text-handling applications, including InDesign. With this feature and support for inline graphics (which Illustrator also still does not support), you don't even need an old-fashioned "tables" feature. This feature has existed in FreeHand for something like 15 years. That's just one example of how antequated Adobe Illustrator really is.

Create new row in Report automatically

Post Author: miwalker
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
I have a report that contains a table with a row for each week and columns containing totals for how many defects are in each state (i.e. Open, Verify, Closed). Each week I update the table and add a new row with the totals for that week. I also have a bar graph that displays this information graphically. Is it possible to create a formula that when I run the report it automatically creates a new row in the table and updates the totals rather than me having to do it manually? If I can do that I would then like to use a scheduler to automatically run the report each week. Thanks,

Post Author: miwalker
CA Forum: Crystal Reports
Thanks Mavrick5. I was able to generate the correct date now, but I'm still having problems getting it to write on a new row. Row #1 will contain the running totals of each "state" for the week. I then want a new line generated when I run the report the following week with the totals for that specific week, and so on as the weeks progress. Right now it just keeps overwriting the first row. Is there a function I can use in the formula to get it to write to a new line? I've been looking through the forum but haven't found anything on this subject. Thanks,

ADDITIONAL ROW INSTANCES PROBLEM

I am creating a form and I have the following issue:
I have a dropdown list and a user can select one of two options. When the user selects one of the options, it populates the values for other dropdown lists that are within a row. I have created a button to add intances of the row and the issue is that the values are only populating on the dropdown list located in the first row and not on the additional rows created when the "Add Row" button is clicked. The PDF form is attached.
I appreciate any help!!
Thank you in advance!

Jono,
Thank you for your suggenstion regarding the submit button. I tried your suggestion but what you suggested requires that the person submitting the form have a desktop mail application (eg. outlook) or save it and then emailing it. I am not sure if it is possible to do this using javascript, but I am looking for a way to have the form submitted without requiring the user to have an email address. I was able to accomplish this in an excel form using visual basic. below is the code I used in visual basic:

            MsgBox "There is VBA code in this xlsx file, there will be no VBA code in the file you send." & vbNewLine & _
                   "Save the file first as xlsm and then try the macro again.", vbInformation
            Exit Sub
        End If
    End If
    With Application

    Kill TempFilePath & TempFileName & FileExtStr
    With Application
        .ScreenUpdating = True
        .EnableEvents = True
