Guest list functions, questions, etc.

Hey everyone,
I've only just started using Numbers today, so a lot of the forum posts about functions and so on didn't make much sense to me. Now, what I'm trying to do is the following: I'm trying to create a guest list for a party and a pie chart with it to show the female/male ratio attending. Now, I've just popped in a picture of what I have done so far:
As you can see, I have added check boxes for attending and for the gender of the respective guests. Now, what I wanted to find out was the total amount of guests attending (including people that guests are bringing along -> number of attendees). So I put the function "=SUMIF(attending;TRUE;number of attendees)" into I11. I got this function from the Event Planer template in Numbers. So now every time I tick someone's 'attending' box, the sum changes and gives me the number, which is great! But what I now want is two seperate sums for women and men, so that I can use that information in the pie chart. So what I want is a similar function as the one above but with two conditions: that the person's 'attending' box is ticked and that, in the case of the sum for the women, the person's 'female' box is ticked and the other way around for the sum for the men. Then in the fields 'C11' and 'D11' I'd have the total number of women attending and the total number of men. So if anybody could give me a SUM function with those two conditions, I'd be grateful. I've been fiddling with adding plusses and changing the function to a SUMIFS function but I always get syntax errors or other problems.
My second question is whether anybody knows a way of adding two check boxes to one field, so that you tick one and then the second one is automatically unticked. A 'one or the other' choice, so that you don't have a situation like the one displayed on my picture, that Megan Fox is both male and female does anyone know of a way to insert two check boxes into one field and making only one of them 'choosable'?
Thanks in advance guys!

From my point of view, there is no need for two columns attending / not attending. A single 'attending' one is sufficient
Same thing for genders.
As far as I know, a single box (choose the one which you want) would be sufficient.
Your problem is not completely defined.
If I read correctly, there is no way to know the gender of the person(s) accompannying a given one so there is no way to calculate correctly the number of each gender.
My second question is whether anybody knows a way of adding two check boxes to one field,
This unavailable feature would be better done with radio buttons .
In this table There are two header rows and two footer ones.
In C11, the formula =COUNTIF(C,TRUE) calculates the number of male guests.
In C12, the formula =COUNTIF(C,FALSE) calculates the number of female guests.
In F11, the formula =COUNTIF(F,TRUE) calculates the number of attending guests.
In F12, the formula =COUNTIF(F,FALSE) calculates the number of non attending guests.
In G11 the formula =SUMIFS(G,F,TRUE,C,TRUE) calculate the number of attending persons whose guest one is a male.
I guess that you encountered problems with SUMIFS because the parameters are not ordered as they are for SUMIF.
Read carefully the descriptions of both functions in iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide

SD & FI BI functional Questions

Hi Experts,
I need to ask some questions to customer on SD & FI functional related questions for BI Analytical reports..
Already cutomer implemented Data ware house Informatica with congnos reporting tool.
right now they want to implement BI.
please any one can share on what type functional questions could ask the customer.
Advance Thanks,
Bala.

Hi,
A few more pointers.
Start with Reports. What the client is using. What he is expecting.
If he got existing reports map the fields with Business Content BW Fields. Go to Business content and make a list of queries which are delivered from SAP. Explain them the KPI's. This should be good to start with. Also check the Tcodes they use.
Look for DataSources that get data from theses Tcode's.
Project Preparation (Initial stuff -- Do a conceptual review after this phase requirements gathering)
Collect requirement thru interviews with Business teams /Core users / Information Leaders.
Study & analyze KPI's (key figures) of Business process.
Identify the measurement criteria's (Characteristics).
Understand the Drill down requirements if any.
Understand the Business process data flow if any.
Identify the needs for data staging layers in BW (i. e need for ODS if any)
Understand the system landscape.
Prepare Final Requirements Documents in the form of Functional Specifications containing:
Report Owners, Data flow, KPI's, measurement criteria's, Report format along with drilldown requirements.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,
JituK

@PRIOR function question

hi all, please explain me use of @prior(member, offset, range list) function
as I understand here:
member - a single member we want to return value of
offset - number of periods/some_members of range list
range list - members for offset choose
says, we have accounts
acc0
acc1
acc2
how should I define formula with @PRIOR function if I want calculate:
1) acc2=acc1 of previous N months, where N is stored in acc0
2) acc2=acc2 of previous N months, where N is stored in acc2 in custom_member2 of custom_dimension2

Hi,
Your question is a little hard to understand, so I will try to help by posting some information about the @PRIOR function and hoping it gets you moving.
It's important to remember that @PRIOR returns a numeric value. It's not a memberset function used to navigate the hierarchy. It's a function used to select one value from a set of values.
Typically, you just use it to step one month back in time and get the value of some account for use in the current month, like this:
"BegBalance" = @PRIOR("EndBalance");
What you don't see here is that this is taking advantage of the default values for the second and third arguments (the number of steps to go back, and the memberset to walk back through). The defaults are 1, and the-level-0-members-of-your-time-dimension.
Because I hate duplicating code in multiple fixes, specifying years in IF statements, and year-end maintenance, I tend to do something like this...
IF (@ISMBR("Jan"))
"BegBalance" = @PRIOR("EndBalance"->"Dec", 1, @LEVMBRS("Year", 0)); /*Note that you can cross-dim in the first argument*/
ELSE
"BegBalance" = @PRIOR("EndBalance");
ENDIF;
This is a good way to fix up code you inherit from consultants who only have to make things work in dev, don't mind nesting IF's and doing a bunch of double cross-dims to get from Jan to Dec, and are going to be long gone by the time the year rolls over. I'm sorry... have I gone off-topic?
The point is that you can use @PRIOR to pull numbers from elsewhere in the database, if you know what memberset you need to walk back through and how far back you need to walk. I presume you can use your acct0 as the second argument, since it's numeric, but you'll have to test that to see. You can also walk forward with @NEXT, if that helps you any.
Hoping you can find an answer in there somewhere,
-- Joe

I have 3 guest lists names. How do I create a total for each list and a fourth total for all of them combined?

I am getting married and I want to stay organized. I have a spread sheet for my guest list. It is 3 columns/lists (my family, his family, and friends). How do I make a running total of each list and a fourth total of all of them combined?
Thanks so much!!!!

If I understand your problem you want to keep a list for the bride, the groom and friends as well as a total of all guests.
The total is the easiest. If you have the other three numbers then you can use the function SUM() to add those three together.
The rest of the problem is solved by assumeing:
1) the lists are in columns
2) the header does not count in the total
taking the difference of the total rows and the blank rows minus 1 will give you the total guest names in the a column.
The contents of cell:
C2 =ROWS(Bride)-COUNTBLANK(Bride)-1
C3=ROWS(Groom)-COUNTBLANK(Groom)-1
C4=ROWS(Friends)-COUNTBLANK(Friends)-1
C5=SUM(G2:G4)

When I open iPhoto5, the list (albums, trash, etc.) next to pictures has disappeared. How do I get it back?

When I open iPhoto5, the list (albums, trash, etc.) next to pictures has disappeared. How can I get it back?

You can move your cursor to the far left of the iPhoto window and grab side of the source pane and drag it open - or
A good general step for strange issues is to renew the iPhoto preference file - quit iPhoto and go to "your user name" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist and trash it - launch iPhoto which creates a fresh new default preference file and reset any personal preferences you have changed and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it. This may help
This does not affect your photos or any database information (keywords, faces, places, ratings, etc) in any way - they are stored in the iPhoto library - the iPhoto preference file simply controls how iPhoto works - which is why renewing it is a good first step.

How to setup a mailing list function bar

I'm wanting to know what is the best way to add a mailing list function to an ipad magazine I'm creating. Is it setup as an email button? I'm not 100% sure on how to go about doing it. I've attached a photo of what I'm talking about.
thanks,

I would create an html form that submits to my web server where I would process the information and store the form value in a database.

Using numbers for roster information. Imported from another program. Now seem to have extra headers, one listing name, address, etc.

Using numbers for roster information. Imported from another program. Now seem to have extra headers, one listing name, address, etc. & another A, B, C. They don't mesh & can't get rid of either. All info there, but can't change width of columns.

I think my problem is that I have inadvertently created three tables (I only want one). I have included a screen shot of the light grey line under B and the words Table 1 behind it.

Receipts view RRP4 can default open standard list functions on

When you use the receipts view
/SAPAPO/RRP4
when selecting large data sets, it takes a while to open, but THEN when you click the PLUS to open all the features within, like being able to FILTER, which is the bitton
standard list functions on
Then it seems to reload everything again and take the same amount of time again.
Is there a way to default this option open, so that it opens with the function on so that you dont have to take twice as long to open each time to get to the filter?
thanks
John

Hi John,
Are you looking for something like this:
This is what the APO help said:
Key to Limit the Selection
Defines a further selection.
Use
Using the input help select one of the entered selection rules.
Dependencies
The selection rules made available by the input help are defined in
Customizing for the product planning table under Maintain extended
selection.
You correspondingly modify the Business Add-In (BADI) /sapapo/ppt_select
for the selection of the data.
Thanks and Regards,

thanx in advance,
faeza

Hi all,
Thank you on all your points. I have fixed this problem. the problem is the /etc repository is not working. To check it i refer to SAP Note 1178294 regarding /etc repository in cluster environment. The /etc repository is used by the XML form. All my content in my web page such link list, teaser and etc is most often built using XML form.

Documentation for RS_EU_CROSSREF (where-used list function module)

Hi,
I'm trying to understand how to use the "RS_EU_CROSSREF" function module.
It corresponds to the where-used list function you find in so many SAP screens.
I need to use it in a program, but I can't find any good documentation about it.
I'd like something that tells me what values I have to fill in parameters.
For example, how to search form "TEST_FORM" in all programs ? or even in a given program, I didn't get how to restrict the search to a program...
Thank you for any help,
Quentin

Hi Gurpreet Singh,
table cross does not find any function modules although I know for sure that there are function modules calling the function module.
Please post an example of how to find function modules calling a function module with RS_EU_CROSSREF.

Sumifs function question

Hi, Everyone, I have a function question of Sumifs, here a sample as follows,
=SUMIFS(Budget :: E4:E14,Budget :: C4:C14,"=5003677000",Budget :: B4:B14,OR("=Transit","=Drawing cash")), according to the logic, I think like this, but it's wrong. So how to insert the OR function to the Sumifs function? May someone find the mistake in the function?
Thank you.
Alex

I think you would actually do a sum of simifs, i.e. Sumif(....."Transit") + Sumif(....."Drawing Cash")
Basically if you have two sumifs that differ in only one condition that would be treated like an OR in SQL, then make one Sumif for each unique set of conditions and add them up

OIC: Functional Question(11.5.10)

Hi All,
I would like to know answer for the following functional question in Oracle 11.5.10 Incentive Compensation Application(OIC). I would greatly appreciate if you anyone can reply for this.
1. Question on Foreign currency exchange rates:
We know that OIC cannot handle foreign currency exchange rates. Since all of our offer letters to the Sales guys are in local currency what we end up doing is picking an exchange rate on July 1st every year and converting them to US $. What I’m wondering is why couldn’t we just set them up in OIC in their local currency, without converting them?
Is that possible? OIC can handle this?
2. In OIC, Can I enter a DUMMY Acoount Executive (since we are not going to credit any single person in the Primary Account Executive role) that bookings could be credited to in order to ensure they roll up to the appropriate manager?
a) Is that possible?
b) Does this DUMMY Acoount Executive should be part of the HR Employee setups as well?, In OIC should we need to load the transaction for DUMMY Account
Executive so that credit will get rolled up to approriate managers based on the Group hiearchy setups?
Thanks,
Johnson

Yes

You do not need to set up the dummy resource as employee. All you need is to create as OTHER type of resource and add that resource to group.
Hope this helps.

Numbers help with a guest list

I am a newbie...using numbers for the 1st time for a guest list for an auction...I am up to row 42 to need to add a bunch more and that option is no longer available...HELP!!!

To add rows you can activate the table by clickin gin any cell, then either:
1) drag the tale controls to expand columns, rows, or both:
OR
2) type the key combination <COMMAND> + arrow (left, right, up, or down) to add a row/column
OR
3) you can use the menu items:
"Table > Add Row Above":
"Table > Add Row Below":
"Table > Add Column Before
"Table > Add Column After":
OR
4) you can right click on the row or column header, then select the "Add..." from the contextual menu:

If Choose from list function included after SBO 2004 patch 31?

Hi, there
I know Choose from list function valid in SBO 2005, but I don't know if it is included in SBO 2004, especially after SBO 2004 patch 31?
Thanks.

Hi Indika,
You are right - the Choose from list is only available from SBO 2005.

How do I make the height of my cells bigger? I am trying to put togther a guest list for my wedding.

I have worked with excel in the past and it seems easier to manuever through. I am wondering if I should purchase it for MAC? I need to get my guest list done ASAP and I can't figure out how to make the cells bigger. Please help! Thank you!

Tolf,
I'll add one method to Wayne's list that you may find helpful in some certain situations. Begin by eliminating all the unnecessary rows and columns by grabbing the Add Rows/Columns grip at the lower right hand corner of the table and dragging it up and left until it stops. All the rows and columns with no content will now be gone.
Now you have a table with just the minimum necessary rows and columns. Select the table object by clicking on once on the table name in the Sheets Pane or by clicking on the grip in the upper left corner of the table.
You should now be seeing the 8 sizing handles, little open squares. They are at the 4 corners and in the middle of the 4 sides.
Grab one of these sizing handles and drag it to change all of the cell sizes at once. If you grab one of the corners you can change the height and width simultaneously. If you just grab a side, you'll just change the spacing of the lines parallel to that side.
If your level of ASAP precludes you from having time to work with Numbers, you can download the free trial of Office for Mac, or you can download one of the free Office clones, like LibreOffice. They would be more familiar to you in the short run.
Good luck with your wedding planning.
