Hours in numbers

Hi everyone, I am using numbers for the first time and I would like to now how to create automatically
a column
which starts with a precise hour and then all the following cases contain that hour plus forty minutes.
For example :
2:00
2:40
3:20
4:00
Thanks a lot

Thanks for the feedback, Leeloo. I was in a bit of a rush whne I posted that, and didn't have time to add the explanation below. I'm adding it now for the benefit of anyone looking for a similar solution, and wondering about the thinking behind this one,
The base unit of Date and Time values is the (24 hour) Day.
Adding 1 to a D&T value returns the D&T value one day later, at the same time of day.
Adding 1/2 to a D&T value returns the Date and time 12 hours (one-half day) later than the start time.
Leeloo wanted the time in 20 minute increments.
20 minutes is 20/60 of an hour, or reduced to lowest terms, 1/3 of an hour.
One hour is 1/24 of a day.
Combining those gives 1/24 * 20/60, or 20/(24*60), or, reduced to the terms shown above, 1/(24*3).
So the amount to be added to the previous value to give a Date and Time value 20 minutes later is 1/(24*3).
Regards,
Barry

How do I calculate hours in Numbers?

How do I calculate hours in Numbers? Example: I inserts 7:00 in a cell and 11:30 in another cell. What function do I write to get 4:30?

Hi Interlaga,
Enter start time in A2. Enter finish time in B2. They will become Cell > Data Format > Automatic with Date and Time (Date None).
Formula in C2
=B2−A2
That becomes Cell > Data Format >Automatic
Refinement is to use 'Date and Time' Format for start and finish, and 'Duration' format for the difference.
Remember that in Numbers, every Date has a Time attached, and every Time has a Date attached (even if they are not displayed in the cell). So if you enter the times on different days (the 'crossing midnight' problem) the finish time will be 24 hours later .
It took me a while to understand this, but a Time or a Date is an instant since 1 January 1904.
Call back for more help.
Regards,
Ian.

How do I add hours in Numbers?

I created two columns with time I started working on a job and the time I ended. I would like the final column to add up the hours i worked. How do I do this?

maricusitin,
When you subtract a larger number from a smaller number, you will get a negative result. In this case, 1:30 pm is greater than 10:00 am, so you get -3h. If you subtract 10:00 am from 1:30 pm, you should get a positive difference.

Stringsa and numbers in a same file?

Hello
I have different numeriques data to write in a report file and wonder
whether it's possible to include in the beginning of the file, the date and
hour, those data were taken.
I'm sure it's possible but I don't find the right vi to both include a
string data, namely date and hour and numbers.
Thanks for your help

Anytime charges after 1 hour

I had a call to a UK number made after 8pm that lasted 1hour and 52 Minutes. The charge on my bill was £4.22.
It seems to be that BT charged me for the 53 (rounded up) minutes at daytime rates - 7.95p per minute.
When I spoke to customer services in India, they thought I was charged for the whole call - I pointed out that even for the whole call, at evening rates of 0.15p per minute the call should have should only have been £1.19.
I somewhat at a loss however as to how that additional cost should be calculated and, crazily, it appears that even the customer services people don't know what charges should be applied. The guy basically asked me what I thought it should have cost and subtracted the difference from what they’d actually charged.
Can someone tell me definitively what rates apply after the hour is up? Should these be different depending on the time of day?
(Edited for typos and clarity)

From "The Legal Stuff":
"*Unlimited UK calls Your calling plan will include Unlimited Weekend (midnight Friday to midnight Sunday), Unlimited Evening & Weekend (7pm to 7am Mon-Fri and all weekend) or Unlimited Anytime calls. This means calls of up to an hour to numbers beginning 01, 02 & 03, after which charges apply. You can hang up and redial before the end to avoid charges. There are exceptions like calls to the Channel Islands."

Being able to answer and make calls when the phone is locked.
Add more colors to LED notification (I think they are there now, orange, green, red so far, did not see blue, I don't think blue is needed in my opinion)

Volume lock/unlock button on demand.
Auto Run app on device boot up.

Better headphones with the phone (hey, we didn't even get any!)
Better night shots in camera (hardware or software improvement?)
Ability to choose which address book to sync with bluetooth car.
When app is opened from a folder three or four pages into apps list, we hope the screen can go back to that spot when the app is closed (sadly it uses active frames at the moment)

Ability to load certificates (X 509 S/MIME and/or PGP/MIME) from a computer
Ability to sign and or encrypt emails (POP3) before sending (As in MS Office Outlook)
Ability to receive and recognize signed and or encrypted emails (POP3) (As in MS Office Outlook)

Wallpaper scrolling sideways.
Standalone e-mail app (not sure how different it is than choosing emails-only for hub)
Different colors or small tabs in different colors for different accounts in Hub.
Share webpages with smart tag (I think you can just create it by pasting the URL into create QR)

Custom vibration options.
Move Send button in BBM to avoid accidental submission of message
Forward As… SMS, MMS, EMAIL from one to another.
Send SMS to new numbers (I think you can still do this from call log)
Single key press to change profiles.
Insert a picture into an e-mail. (I think he means into the body of email)
Turning off links of contacts (I think poster did not have multiple accounts, actually BB10 goes ahead and adds all new contacts into all address books in all accounts without user permission.. Create a contact in Hotmail? Gets copied to Gmail.. and then linked, terrible implementation in my opinion)
Presets for browser bookmarks, faster access to bookmarks. (My suggestion was to create a home screen, select 12 icons 3x4 or 16 icons 4x4 as home screen/start page)
Being able to allow flash based on website/url/server.
Ability to adjust different sounds/volumes for different BBM users/groups
Better Voice Dial and Voice Commands (shorter and easier operation)
Ability close one or all web pages/tabs, add "Close All" button.
Call Recording
Faster way to delete e-mails, such as file icons next to e-mails, or Swipe to Delete! Swipe to File!?
Customize email signatures with formatting.
Phone to stay on screen (dial pad always available in panes)
More Options for Clock.
In Playbook we can have a single character password, why not on BB10? "too short" well it is my decision, isn't it?
There is no way to go next/previous while reading an e-mail. Please add these functions.
Add to the e-mail client, Next Unread / Previous Unread.
E-mail or Hub should have more buttons at the bottom in landscape mode. Why keep only three (or four in e-mail view) buttons when you have the real estate. It would be extremely handy if you allowed users to edit which buttons should go at the bottom. Next Previous is really needed while reading an e-mail. For example I would love to add "File" button at the bottom as a shortcut instead of forward, I rarely forward, but I file all the time. Maybe allow users to have two row of keys, add next/previous/unread. Or it could be done with a gesture. How about swiping the account name (top blue bar while reading e-mail) left and right?
When you create a new contact in BlackBerry, it gets synced to all accounts on the Hub. There is no way to limit the new contact to a specific account.
Sometimes when you file an e-mail to a folder, it stops and waits few seconds with no message. Even when it files immediately, there is a confirmation message that takes time to appear and disappear, and the folder list does not disappear automatically.
Messages filed automatically by server using server side filter rules are still showing up on Blackberry hub/inbox. In older BB versions the filtered messages did not show up in the list, filed messages still did.
When you filter your e-mails using Filter / Unread function, new unread e-mails do not show up until you close the filter and re-open. It won't just keep refreshing your screen with unread e-mails. Can BB add a button to the hub "Unread Hub" so when hub shows 8 or 2, you can actually see unread items easily without having to through so many taps.
Native BB QR scanner (Smart Tags) does not work with barcodes (it only scans with no way to use the information). There is Open In function but it doesn't work properly.
We need to add more customs search providers, and be able to add custom search strings/wildcards. For example currently there is Google, Bing, Yahoo, Foursquare, etc..
I hope BB introduces the ability include more standard & custom searches, IMDB, PriceGrabber, Ebay, Youtube, XYZ Forums, ABC Newspaper, 123 Database, Etc.. Most sites nowadays provide search string in their URL Search=?* etc...
None of the Battery apps can access system settings to add a battery icon to the top. I wish battery percentage was there.
There is no way to check carrier/mobile signal strength.
Blackberry, please add the date and carrier / SSID info to the top. Sometimes we just want to glance at the top to see the date without having to swipe.
Please bring back keyboard shortcuts. Since we can easily swipe up to bring the keyboard, just add keyboard shortcuts in e-mail, phone (true speed dialing, dialing by word?), and browser, etc.. if possible. I could always call 1800SOMETHING# now I have to look up the number or use dial pad.. Please bring it back.
Camera zoom function needs to be fixed, also please include option of fixed focus by tapping on the screen to focus. The auto focus in video is focusing in and out to various objects all the time. Stabilization feature also causes tearing/ripples, I guess it is good if you are stationary. Or use Volume Keys to Zoom.
Please allow more than 12 icons in an icon group/folder, I hated Apple for limiting apps per folder, please fix it.
Auto ON/OFF feature is not there anymore. BB should consider Auto DND (DoNotDisturb) or Auto Silent/Airplane modes instead.
Please find a way to stop the music app from automatically starting up every time it connects to bluetooth like car audio. This is very annoying.
No Panaroma mode in Camera app, why not? It is very easy to incorporate. This could be a nice addition to next release, and easy.
The text selection grips needs to be a little bigger, sometimes I cannot see where I am moving them, they work better in Playbook, nice big tabs.
Call Functions, before answering a phone add sideways gesture functions, like swiping right will forward the call, swiping left will answer with a test message, etc..
Or there should be a way to reject the call without sending it to voice mail, phones had this function a decade ago, I don't know what happened to it.
We used to be able to see the "History" without having to save the contact. Now I don't see any way to "View History" of a certain phone number, it just keeps adding
them as individual entries to the log. Now I can't see when was the last time they called me, how many times we spoke which day, etc... I loved this feature in BB5.
Where is BB Traffic? Where is BB Weather, without having to run an active frame? It will eventually disappear if you run too many apps. I liked a little Icon that shows me what the temp is, instead of running a whole app.
There is no Skype. This day and age with all other platforms having it, please either get skype (Microsoft) to cooperate, or open up BBM to other platforms. If necessary, pay Skype to develop the app, then charge BB users for the app. Most will gladly pay.
Can we tap and hold on an active frame to pin it, or can we pin two favorite apps between Call and Search & Search and Camera buttons in the bottom bar? How about Close All running Active Frames app to quickly free up ram?
I hope next generation devices have two speakers or speaker that is facing forward. When playing games or watching videos in landscape mode, I find my palm muting the speaker. I have to hold it gently with fingers to have a gap in between, something I don't want to do when I am on the subway or bus.
Blackberry Maps should have a Zoom In/Zoom Out buttons, sometimes using it with one hand, it is impossible to zoom in and out. (Zoom in is OK but we can't zoom back out)

Memory Leak in 10.4.7

Question for all you Mac "Guru's" out there. I have an Imac (intel) with 2 512MB Memory Sticks and Have Noticed that there appears to be a memory leak in the OS. After several staggering hours It seems that the culprit is WindowServer and kernal_task. I have seen the WindowServer process Real Memory increase a couple of Kbytes every 3-4 seconds. My kernal_task seems to always be the process using the most memory of all.
After a fresh restart Kernal_task is using about 40MB and windowserver about 20MB. now if I let it sit for just a few hours those numbers almost double. I admit it could be something else, but i don't think so since i sit and stare at my activity monitor and nothing seems to change except for those 2 processes. Anybody else notice this at all?
I asked the snob at the Genius bar in the Chandler, AZ Apple store and he suggested to try re-seating the memory sticks and I have with no change. I have even done a fresh install of OS X and the updates to 10.4.7. I have noticed the problem since 10.4.5.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
I don't have a lot of 3rd party software except for Firefox and thunderbird. All the apps that i use are Universal Binary with the exception of Quicken that came with my iMac.
Thanks

you can run it with -n option the first time to make sure you do only a readonly check (no modification, hence the FS will not be fixed)

Employee payroll program problems

I have done good so far but now im stuck and lost on how to take my program to the next step, kids got sick and i missed like a week of school so im behind. I am suppose to modify the Payroll Program so that it uses a class to store and retrieve the employee?s name, the hourly rate, and the number of hours worked. Use a constructor to initialize the employee information, and a method within that class to calculate the weekly pay. Once stop is entered as the employee name, the application should terminate. I am lost on the bold part..
here is what I have:
//Calculates weekly pay for an employee
import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner
     public class BeemansPayroll
     private double rate;
     private double hours;
     private String name;
     //Used to save info
public BeemansPayroll(String Name, double PayRate, double Hours)
     String name = Name;
     double rate = PayRate;
     double hours = Hours;
private static void Quit()
System.out.println("Thank You for using Beeman's Payroll");
System.exit(0);
// main method begins execution of Java application
public static void main(String args[])
// create Scanner to obtain input from command window
Scanner input = new Scanner(System.in);
String name = "";
do {
System.out.print("Enter Employee Name or stop to quit: ");
// prompt for name
name = input.next(); // get name
          if (name.equals("stop"))
System.out.println("Thank You for using Beeman's Payroll");
Quit();
} //end if
else
double PayRate;
double Hours;
double Pay;
     System.out.print("Please enter Employee payrate:$ "); // prompt
     PayRate = input.nextDouble(); // read first number from user
          while (PayRate <= 0)
                    System.out.println ("Invalid amount, Payrate must be positive");
                    System.out.print("Please enter valid payrate:$ ");
                    PayRate = input.nextDouble();
               } //end if
System.out.print("Please enter Employee hours: "); // prompt
Hours = input.nextDouble(); // read second number from user
                         while (Hours <= 0)
                    System.out.println ("Invalid amount, Hours must be positive");
                    System.out.print("Please enter hours worked: ");
                    Hours = input.nextDouble();
               } //end if
Pay = PayRate * Hours; // multiply numbers
System.out.printf("Employee Pay for the week %s, is $%.2f\n", name,
(PayRate * Hours)); // display product
} //end else
}while (!name.equals("stop"));
Quit();
} // end method main
} // end class Beeman's Payroll

on top of kids getting sick and taking three algebra all at once. I advice you to not go on and on about this. This is not our problem and won't affect how or if someone helps you. If anything continued mention of this will turn many away who would otherwise help you.
How or where do I go about breaking it down?You are redeclaring the variables in your constructor, i.e.,:
String name = Name; // don't do thisDon't do this because you'll never change the class's name variable this way. Instead in the constructor do something like this for each variable:
name = Name;or
this.name = Name;Later you will need to read up on Java naming conventions.
As for creating the method, you should read up on method creation in your text book or tutorial. That'll give you a better explanation than we can, I think.

How Can I Add Time Values?

I am trying to track billable hours on Numbers 09. I have created a table with hours worked on a project, I an I would like to create a category with totals of the hours worked each day. However, when I categorize the Date column (or any text column) the SubTotals for the billable time is always "0".
If I simply try to SUM the billable time column, I get an error saying that "the formula's arguments can only include one time value"
Is there a way to get a total for billable hours, or do I have to use excel? No sarcasm intended, but a serious question.
TIA

Thanks for the reply.
It took some time to get my head around the data entry part of the Duration format, as when I changed the data I had entered before changing the format to Duration, is displayed as a full date and time value. It was not until I re-entered the values again AFTER setting the format to Duration, that the SUM function worked.
I still have a problem with Categories though., When I categorize by project, the hours worked column, although a Subtotal is generated, does not format to Duration "h m s".
i.e. Instead of 10h 57m as a total, 10.95 is displayed. Is there a way to set the format of the Subtotal to display in the Duration Format?? The format option in the inspector is grayed out for me.
TIA, again.

What you wanted to know about Time values

Hello
I tried to gather in a single document the useful infos about the use of time values in Numbers.
I must thanks pw1840 which checked the English syntax.
Here is the text only document.
Files with the sample tables are available on my iDisk:

ForiWork:ForNumbers:Time in Numbers.zip
*STORED DATE-TIME VALUES - BASICS*
Numbers clearly states that it stores date-time values, no less no more. This means these values consist of two parts: a date and a time. It is important to note that both parts are present even if only one of them is displayed.
When we type the time portion only, it includes the current date even though it may not be displayed.
But when we apply the formula: =TIME(0,0,ROUND(TIMEVALUE(B)24*6060,0)), we get a date-time value whose numerical value of the date portion is 0. This means, in AppleLand, 1 janvier 1904. Such a date-time allows us to make correct calculations, but there are two true drawbacks:
1) Since TIMEVALUE() returns a decimal number, when we calculate the corresponding number of seconds we MUST use the ROUND() function. While calculations with decimal numbers give the wanted value, they may not be exact and be off by + or - epsilon. And
2) The structure of Numbers date-time values is such that the time part is always in the range 0:00:00 thru 23:59:59.
There is also a detail which seems annoying to some users. The minimal time unit is the second because time values are in fact a pseudo string representing the number of seconds between the date-time and the base date-time, 1 janvier 1904 00:00:00.
-+-+-+-+-
*TIMEVALUE() FUNCTION*
When Numbers Help states that the TIMEVALUE() function "converts a date, a time, or a text string to a decimal fraction of a 24-hour day.", it means that the operand for the function TIMEVALUE() may be something like:
31/12/1943, 31 décembre 1943, or 31 déc. 1943 described as a date;
1:12:36 or 1:12 described as time; or
31/12/1943 23:59:59 described as a text string.
The date may also be 31/12/43 but here the program must guess the century. According to the rule, this one will be 31/12/2043 (yes, I am very young).
All of this is not exactly what we are accustomed to but it is perfectly logical as described. My guess is that those who don't understand are simply clinging to old habits and are reluctant to adopt an unfamiliar approach .
-+-+-+-+-
*ELAPSED TIME (DURATION)*
Given a table whose 1st row is a header, I will assume that column B stores starting-time values and column C stores ending-time values. Both do not display the date component of the date-time values. We may get the difference in column D with the formula:
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(B),ISBLANK(C)),"",TIMEVALUE(C)-TIMEVALUE(B))
which returns the elapsed time as the decimal part of the day.
We immediately encounter a problem. If ending-time is the day after the starting-day, the result will be negative. So it would be useful to revise the formula this way:
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(B),ISBLANK(C)),"",IF(TIMEVALUE(C)>TIMEVALUE(B),0,1)+TIMEVALUE(C) -TIMEVALUE(B))
But some of us may wish to see results in the traditional format which may be achieved using:
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(B),ISBLANK(C)),"",TIME(0,0,ROUND((IF(TIMEVALUE(C)>TIMEVALUE(B),0 ,1)+TIMEVALUE(C)-TIMEVALUE(B))24*6060,0)))
-+-+-+-+-
*DURATION SUMS > or = 24 HOURS*
In the examples above, we always assumed that the durations where smaller than 24 hours because Numbers states clearly in the Help and the PDF Users Guide that time values are restricted to the range 00:00:0 to 23:59:59. For longer durations we must fool Numbers.
First problem: we are adding several time durations. Each duration is in the authorized range and the result is greater than 24 hours.
As before, starting-time values are in column B, ending-time ones are in column C, and the elapsed time value is in column D. The formula is:
=IF(OR(ISBLANK(B),ISBLANK(C)),"",IF(TIMEVALUE(C)>TIMEVALUE(B),0,1)+TIMEVALUE(C) -TIMEVALUE(B))
in column E, the formula for the cumulative elapsed time value is:
=SUM($D$2:D2)
in column F, converting to time format, the formula is:
=TIME(0,0,ROUND(MOD(E,1)24*6060,0))
in column G, the formula for showing more than 24 hours in the day/hour/minute format is:
=IF(E<1,"",INT(E)&IF(E<2," day "," days "))&F
in column H, expressing total elapsed time in total hours using the traditional time format, the formula is:
=IF(E<1,F,INT(E)*24+LEFT(F,LEN(F)-6)&RIGHT(F,6))
in column I, expressing total elapsed time in total hours using the traditional time format, an alternate formula is:
=IF(E<1,F,INT(E)*24+HOUR(F)&":"&RIGHT("00"&MINUTE(F),2)&":"&RIGHT("00"&SECOND(F ),2))
Of course the user would choose the format used in column G or the one in column I for his table. There is no need to keep all of them. It would be fine to hide column F whose contents are auxiliary.
Second problem: individual durations may be greater than 23:59:59 hours.
Again, column B is used to store starting date-time, column C stores ending date-time, and durations are calculated in column D. Since B and C are storing full date-time values, we may use this simple formula to find the duration:
=C-B
in column E, the time portion of the duration given in time format is:
=TIME(0,0,ROUND(MOD(D,1)24*6060,0))
in column F the formula to show the duration as days/hours/minutes is:
=IF(D<1,"",INT(D)&IF(D<2," day "," day(s "))&E
in column G we give the elapsed time in total hours using a time format. The formula is:
=IF(D<1,E,INT(D)*24+LEFT(E,LEN(E)-6)&RIGHT(E,6))
in column H we give the elapsed time in total hours using a time format. An alternate formula is:
=IF(D<1,E,INT(D)*24+HOUR(E)&":"&RIGHT("00"&MINUTE(E),2)&":"&RIGHT("00"&SECOND(E ),2))
If the duration is greater than 24 hours, the results in columns E and F are not a time value but a string. So the value in column D (which is time duration only) is useful.
-+-+-+-+-
*PROBLEM WITH ENTERING TIME*
When you wish to enter 12:34 but 12 is the number of minutes, remember that Numbers will decipher this as 12 hours and 34 minutes. Simple tip:
Assuming that your original entry is in column B, then in column C use this formula to align the minutes and seconds for proper Numbers interpretation:
=IF(ISERROR(TIME(0,LEFT(B,SEARCH(":",B)-1),RIGHT(B,LEN(B)-SEARCH(":",B)))),"",T IME(0,LEFT(B,SEARCH(":",B)-1),RIGHT(B,LEN(B)-SEARCH(":",B))))
-+-+-+-
*MISCELLANEOUS NOTES*
• Of course, the addition of two dates and multiplication or a division applied to one date means nothing and would generate the red triangle announcing a syntax error.
• We may add a time value to a date-time: If B contains a date-time and C contains a time, the following formula will return the sum of the two values:
=B+TIMEVALUE(C)
• We may strip the time value of a full date-time one with the formula: =DATE(YEAR(B),MONTH(B),DAY(B))
• Just as a reminder,
=EDATE(B, 3) adds 3 months to the pure date stored in B
so, of course,
=EDATE(B, 12) adds one year to the pure date stored in B
• If B and C store date-time values,
=C-B returns the difference in decimal days.
=DATEDIF(B,C,"D") returns the number of days between the two pure dates. It's identical to =DATE(YEAR(C),MONTH(C),DAY(C))-DATE(YEAR(B),MONTH(B),DAY(B))
=DATEDIF(B,C,"M") returns the number of months between the two pure dates.
=DATEDIF(B,C,"Y") returns the number of years between the two pure dates.
Three other variants are available which use the parameters "MD","YM" and "YD".

This is not exactly true. Numbers files store date-time values in a string format consistent with ISO 8601:2004. This format explicitly includes year, month, day, hour, minute, & second values.
This may be verified by examining the uncompressed index.xml file in a Numbers package. For example, the first day of 1904 is stored as cell-date="1904-01-01T00:00:00+0000" & of the year 0001 as cell-date="0001-01-01T00:00:00+0000." This format is not a numeric value of seconds from a base date-time, often referred to as a "serial time" format, that is used in applications like AppleWorks (or Excel?).
Note that the time value (all that follows the "T" in the string) actually has four components, the last one (following the plus) representing the time zone offset from UTC time in minutes. AFAIK, Numbers does not set this to anything besides "+0000" but interestingly, it will attempt to interpret it if set by manually editing the file. For example, change cell-date="1904-01-01T00:00:00+0000" to cell-date="1904-01-01T00:00:00+0120" & the cell will display the last day of December of 1903 as the date, but will still show the time as 00:00:00. This suggests a future version of Numbers might be time zone aware, but currently it is unreliable & not fully implemented.
Anyway, Numbers does not use the first day of 1904 as a reference for stored date-time values, although it will add that date to "dateless" time values imported from AppleWorks spreadsheets. Although I have not verified this, I believe it will also seamlessly translate between ISO & serial time formats as needed for Excel imports & exports, using the first day of 1900 as needed.
Some other things to note about the ISO standard:
• It permits fractional time values in the smallest time unit present, so for example "T10:15:30" could be represented as "T10:15.5" but Numbers does not support this -- the cell will appear empty if the index file is manually edited this way.
• It does not stipulate whether date-time values represent intervals or durations (although it includes an explicit format for intervals between any two date-time values, known as a period). This means a future version of Numbers could support durations without the addition of a new data storage type, but legacy & import/export issues could make this too impractical to implement.
• It supports a variety of other formats, including date-only, time-only, day-of-year, week-of-year, & various truncations (just hours & minutes, for example). All are unambiguous so a future version of Numbers could support them, but files generated with those versions would not be backwards compatible with the current version.
For completeness, I will add that instead of using complex formulas to manipulate single-cell date-time values in Numbers, it is sometimes more straightforward to use multiple cells, one for each unit of time (for example, days, hours, minutes, & seconds), plus simple arithmetic formulas to combine them. Since each unit is a simple number, this results in highly portable, accurate, & "future-proof" tables, especially for durations. This is particularly useful for multimedia work in which the units might include video or film frames or audio samples.

Account Manager Question

If I am the account manager can anyone make changes from their phone? I have recently noticed that my other lines phone calls are not showing up. They are there and it tells me how long they were on the phone but there is no phone number.
help...thanks

Give it 24-48 hours; the numbers will show up or it will show that the calling # was restricted or unavailable.
I see the same thing on my account - calls are listed, time and duration, but the numbers are blank for a day or two. It eventually fills in the details.

Network error []: Cannot Get Host Name

Is there a config or other Essbase setting I can use to eliminate this error?
My calc script completes successfully after an hour, the numbers are always correct.
This error show up randomly. You don't see it for a week, then three days straight. Then gone for a month....

Hi Rahul
The issue is happening to a number of calcs so it it not one calc specifically. I will ask the functional consultants to enhance the logging in the business rules so that we can see if the issue happens on a specific member\block etc and yes we do use Xrefs
We can run this as a calc in EAS without any issues and it's intermittent because this business rule runs 95% of the time in Planning Application >> Tools >>Business Rules without any issues.
Thanks

X axis labels. How to reduce information.

Im having trouble finding how to reduce the number of x axis labels, (time), My graph is of temperature every 4 minutes over about 10 hours. I would like to have the x axis in hours, but Numbers seems to insist on labeling all 250 points. Is there a way to get Numbers to place x axis data labels only at every 25 data points? The Numbers Users Guide does not seem to address the problem.

If the intervals between x-values are the same, then a line graph will plot the data in the same fashion with correct distance between values. If the x-values have inconsistent intervals, then a line plot will not display the data properly.
But it appears that I did not look at the graphs close enough as X-Y Plots can set various intervals between x-axis values while Line Plots cannot change the x-axis intervals (but can change the y-axis interval.)
Here's a screen shot:

Help with CUA and modifying user "own profile".

Hey guys,
We just implemented CUA in our enviornemnt, and have run into the system.
I understand why all accounts now get modified in the central system, however, our users are asking to be able to still modify thier account defaults (i.e. hour format, numbering format, etc) in SU3 (system ->user profile -> own data)... however the CUA has removed this option from all clients connected to it.
Is it possible to still have this functionality?
Thanks everyone for any info.
Richard

Hi Richard,
It is possible to change multiple attributes and the changes are executed according to
the setting associated with each attribute. Therefore, global attributes are changed in
the central system and distributed and those attributes that are to be maintained locally
are filtered out and not changed.Local attributes should be maintained using the maintenance functions
(SU3) in the child systems. So you will have to change the settings in The central system to allow this to be maintained from the child system.
Many Regards,
Harimander Singh.
