Help Using Spreadsheet for my company Expenses

I own a medium tier Landscaping Company and want to log all my expenses into a spreadsheet to make life easier for my Accountant at year end. I've started using numbers, and am studying the iwork 09 Apple training series. Can anyone help make this easier for me? Basically, I want to have categories such as: Fuel, Sod, Aggregate, Office Expenses, Advertising, Insurance, Misc, etc and add all the receipts, and have a total at the end before and after tax. What might make it difficult is that it is going to include a lot of entries. ie, 300 gas receipts over a year for example. Any advice? Thank you very much. (Truly Appreciated)

Hi Sean,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum. Glad to see you found it.

Can you show me the steps to create the summary?
Here are the steps:
Open the document containing the Ledger.
Click on the Tables button, then choose the "Sums" table style from the menu list.
Move the mouse over the first column's reference tab ("A") and click on the triangle that appears.
From the menu, choose Convert to Header Column.
Fill in the column headers in the first row (These can be changed without affecting the table.)
Fill in the Rw headers in the first column. (These must match the categories in your Ledger table.)
Add rows if necessary.
Delete the =SUM(A) formula from the first cell in the bottom row. Retain the formula in the other cells in this row.
=SUMIF(ExpenseLedger :: $B,$A2,ExpenseLedger :: C)
Enter the formula provided in Jerry's post (copied above) into cell B2. (Note that "Expense Ledger" should be replaced with the name of your Ledger table if it's not "Expense Ledger")
Click on and drag the control (small circle at lower right of the selected cell) down to expand the selection and fill in the formula to the last body row of the table.
Release, then click again on the control and drag right to fill the remaining two columns with the formula.
Done.
The best thing that I accomplished today was finding this discussion forum.
While you're on a roll, I's suggest you download (and spend some time with) the Numbers '09 User Guide and the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide. Both are available through the Help menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Barry

    I have a numbers spreadsheet for tracking company data.  I want to copy the format of the spreadsheet (rows, columns,and formulas) but have all of the data fields be blank for the new year.  How do I do that?

    click and hold on one cell, then drag to select the range, then release, then type the delete key.  Only inlude cells in the range you do not want to keey the contents of the cell.  You can remove one-off cells by holding the command key and clicking cells to add or remove as needed.

  • Help using Rules for aggregation conditions

    I am trying to utilize the application server rules engine to enforce validation on the XML payload. What I am trying to do is use it for a timesheet application, where after a user enters their hours, they submit and it gets some simple validation using the rules engine and gets returned if not valid according to the ruleset. The application supports multiple rows of hours entered, with each row specifying a unique task/activity worked that period. I have it working as I want using XML facts and RL Functions to determine the rules, but I want to take away the RL functions that need to iterate through each row and replace them with aggregate functions in the rule conditions themselves. Here are the rules I want to enforce:
    <ul>
    <li>An employee must not enter more than x hours of time worked per day, where x is a variable defined in the rules engine. As a constraint the number obviously cannot exceed 24. This rules must span all row entries submitted to sum the amount of hours entered for each day.</li>
    <li>An employee must enter at least y hours worked total each week, where y is a variable defined in the rules engine. Typically this will be defined as 40 hours. It must aggregate all hours entered in all rows for the week to determine how many have been submitted.</li>
    </ul>
    Currently I have 2 RL functions that each return true/false and check the above conditions, but each need to iterate through all rows entered and sum up the hours entered. This is probably satisfactory except my purpose is to show the power of using the rules engine to a client, and if I need to show them I had to develop custom RL code to support this I fear they may shy away from using it.
    Here is the general structure of my XML payload:
    <Timesheet>
      <EmployeeDetails>
        <FirstName>John</FirstName>
        <LastName>Doe</LastName>
        <EmployeeID>12345</EmployeeID>
      </EmployeeDetails>
      <WeeklyHoursEntries>
        <WeeklyHoursEntryRow>
          <TaskDetails>
            <Activity>TaskActivity1</Activity>
            <Description>Some description here</Description>
            <Category>REG</Category>
          </TaskDetails>
          <HoursEntries>
            <Day1>0</Day1>
             <Day2>8</Day1>
             <Day3>8</Day1>
             <Day4>9</Day1>
             <Day5>5</Day1>
             <Day6>10</Day1>
             <Day7>0</Day1>
           </HourEntries>
         </WeeklyHoursEntryRow>
         <WeeklyHoursEntryRow>
           <TaskDetails>
             <Activity>TaskActivity1</Activity>
             <Description>Some description here</Description>
             <Category>OVT</Category>
           </TaskDetails>
           <HoursEntries>
             <Day1>0</Day1>
             <Day2>2</Day1>
             <Day3>8</Day1>

             <Day5>0</Day1>

  • Help using ipod for photos, music, and video

    Guys, I received an IPOD classic 80gig months ago with a college class that I took. I thought it was really neat at the time as I could watch the videos. However, now I'm so glad that it came free with the class and honestly can't understand how anyone can figure out how to operate it. I have photos, music, and videos that I would love to download to the IPOD and watch but after months of reading and rereading the IPOD features guide, I still have no clue how to do it? I'm a college graduate, made the Dean's list. Smart guy, doesn't seem to help me. The features guide will tell you to go to this folder, etc, BUT when I plug my IPOD in there are only like 4 folders that exist! Where are those folders that they are talking about?? I downloaded some photos on my computer into a folder, dragged and dropped them onto my ipod and when I turn the ipod on it says NO PHOTOS!! Same thing happened with my videos and my music? I have a relative in a nursing home who wants me to show her some family photos. I wanted to IPOD those photos and bring them to her. Can't figure it out! Audiobooks??? No way I'll ever figure out how to do that! Are you guys ALL BRAIN SCIENTISTS OR WHAT???

    Thanks Neil, for trying to help me put. I actually figured out how to use the notes. I couldn't believe it worked. I was disappointed to see my notes "cut off" as I guess it has a 4000 character limit, I believe it is. Maybe I'll do a search for itunes software on google and try to figure it out. I don't know if the itunes software is free. You know, not for nothing Neil, but I'm suprised an IPOD classic costs over $250.00 and all they give you is a quick start guide. You have to go to the internet to find a copy of the features guide. That's like buying a new car and not getting an owners manual with it. Odd. Thanks again for trying to help me out.

  • Help using CollatorEntry for Repository Framework Web Services

    Hi All,
    Just wondering what are the pre-requisites needed for my KM repository before I can use the collator functionality in web services such as the findResrouces function from the Repository Framework web service?
    Should my repository be setup with an index or something? I've been reading the Javadocs and trying a few things out using the WSDL navigator but I have no idea what values I should be putting in for CollatorEntry object. What "name" values should I be putting which correspond to properties?
    Could anyone please provide example inputs to put into the WS Navigator say for the method findResources?
    When I test out the findResources method
    when I input rid: /documents/
    CollatorEntries - element1 - name = displayname
    ascending = false
    I keep getting the error:
    Unable to compare: /documents, /documents/.system
    hmmm searching SDN doesn't really seem to come up with much information except Collators aren't being used in client applications so they won't be discussed in detail
    Any help would be appreciated!

    So I have figured out that I need to be putting in the namespace+localname into this collator entry name field but I have been unable to apply an ascending sort based on the accessRid.
    I've found using the findResources operation I am getting back resource objects that are not in a file heiarchal order (ie. nodes further down the file directory are being returned before their parentRids.)
    Is there a way for me to ensure that findResources returns a sorted array that starts from the top of the document tree and each resource object returned is in the same order as what I see in KM content browser?
    Must be a setting or a property that I am missing, when I  do a getOrderMechanism operation I notice it is an unordered type. I can't set server order mechanism as its not supported yet....
    Does anyone have any suggestions?

  • Help using workflow for import manager

    hi all,
    assumes import server is used for automation creation/update of records,
    i need to design a workflow to verify existing record  that:
    if a validation pass: update all fields + update mapping key
    if a validation fail : update mapping key only
    can anyone provide good suggestion on how it can be done via workflow?
    MDM API is out of scope...
    thanks,
    Shanti

    Hello Shanti
    Import manager and import server  launch workflow after data loading is finished.
    You cannot manage loading rules from workflow.
    You can create two inbound ports:
    one for keys loading
    another one for keys+fileds loading

  • Need Help using ul for horizontal navigation

    Though I normally use tables, I've been reading that it's better to use <ul> and <li> for horizontal navigation bar on my website.
    I'm having problems with spacing, I want each item of the navigation bar to fit in a 166 width box.
    Here's my CSS:
    #ul.navbar {
        list-style-type: none;
      font-weight: bold;  
      background-image: url(../images/166bar.gif);
        margin: 0;
        padding: 0;
        width: 100%;
    #ul.navbar li {
        margin: 0px 20px 10px 20px;
        list-style: none;   
    #ul.navbar a {
        text-decoration: none;
    How do I make sure each item of horizontal navigation bar fits in the center of it's box? Can any recommend a good tutorial or example?

    http://alt-web.com/DEMOS/CSS-Menus.shtml
    Change
    text-align: left
    to
    text-align:center
    I want each item of the navigation bar to fit in a 166 width box.
    In that case, you should use tables, images or vertical list menus.

  • Help using Atv for music...will it transmit back out?

    Imagine this. I want to have an Atv connected to my TV for renting movies but (unfortunately) across the room from my stereo. Will the Atv (possibly with the new software) transmit music stored on its own hard drive back to an airport express (or laptop or actually a squeezebox) connected to my stereo?
    Thanks!

    It certainly won't with the current software and I severely doubt it will with v 2.0, but since it hasn't yet been released I couldn't say with absolute certainty.

  • Admin can create user for specific company

    Hi all,
    I have requirement to provide authoriaztion to 3 basis admin in the way that  they can use su01, pfcg or any basis related tcode but one should be restricted to one company say 'A' only... i.e. I have 3 basis admin A, B and C  on single system and 3 comanies say DEF, PQR and XYZ .  Now A can create use id for DEF company only...same for the rest of the user and company..
    Is it possible n what way ?
    Rgds
    D L

    Of course this can be done.
    Here you would be using the S_USER_GRP authorization object.
    Giving access this authorization will allow user A to only manage users in group DEF
    S_USER_GRP
    ACTVT 02
    GRP 'DEF'
    Giving access this authorization will allow user C to only manage users in group XYZ
    S_USER_GRP
    ACTVT 02
    GRP 'XYZ'
    Create user groups via transaction SUGR.

    I have problem for creation of PO using ME21 for different company code.Order is not created.
    Please give reply it is urgent.

    Hi Mansih,

  • Purchasing for different company codes

    Hi Experts,
    Running SRM 5.0 and experiencing problems when trying to implement the following scenario:
    User A located under one company X/pur.org XX/pur.grp XXX should be able to place a PO through Process PO (Only through PO direct, no SC used) transaction for another company Y.
    In attribute BUK of User A both company codes are maintained.
    When placing the PO for User A the purchasing org YY and pur.grp YYY of company Y is selected (as well as the location for Y). PO is placed for the "other" org.
    The next transaction User A does is to place a PO for his "own" company. The pur.org XX and pur.grp X is defaulted from the org.structure. When trying to select the location through the find search the location of the previous transaction is the only one displayed (location for Y), as if the system thinks the user is in the "other" company code. It is possible to manually enter the BP number of the right location. However all validations against the PO still is made against the wrong company code..and the PO can not be placed
    Is this scenario not possible through the Process PO transaction? Are there any settings that can be made to get around this?
    Would appreciate any input.
