How do i calculate the quotient of two numbers?

I'm working on a document in Numbers and cannot figure out how to calcate the quotient of numbers from two different columns?
Thanks!

"I tried doing this and I keep getting 0 or 2. There are no decimal places and I doubled check to make sure that my decimal place settings was on and it is."
Correct.
Re-read my post above for an explanation why this is the correct result. Both example in my table use the same dividend (8) and the same divisor (3). Both results in column C are correct for the function (QUOTIENT) or operator ( / ) used. Choose the function or operator that gives the result you expect.
(Note: in Numbers 3, the division operator will display as ÷ )
Also note Yvan's remarks comparing QUOTIENT and INT.

Barry

How do I calculate the difference between two times?

I am so embarrassed by the fact that I can't figure this out.
Cell B2- 8:00 am
Cell C2- 10:50 am
Cell D2- (How do I get this cell to calculate the difference and say 2:50?)
I know this is probably one of the most basic operations, but for the life of me I can't figure it out. Cells B2 & C2 are formatted for 24 hour clock. But if I tell the system to just subtract the two, I get "0.118". Everything I find on the forum search goes beyond what I need. Can anyone help me?
Thank you.

When I search the U.S. language Numbers User Guide for the word "duration," it is not found.
What may be more clear: _duration is not available but time is_?
Once again your response resemble to a rant againt the Help and the User Guide.
In the Help:
+date-time Any Numbers date/time value. _While you can choose to display only date or time in a cell, all Numbers date or time values contain both the date and time._+

+seconds: The number of seconds.+
Notes
+You can specify hour, minute, and second values greater than 23, 59, and 59, respectively. _If the hours, minutes, and seconds add up to more than 24 hours, Numbers subtracts 24 hours repeatedly until the sum is less than 24 hours._+

As you may check, the infos are exactly the same in the Help and in the Guide.
And I really don't understand how you may find them unclear.

I wanted to know how do you calculate the number of days between two dates

i wanted to know how do you calculate the number of days between two dates in java ? i get both the dates from the database. i guess there are many issues like leap year and Febuary having diff no of months ..etc.

thanks..
I solve my problem as
public class MyExample {
    public static void main(String a[]) {
        String stdate = "2009-03-01";
        java.sql.Date currentDate = new java.sql.Date(System.currentTimeMillis());
        java.sql.Date preDate = java.sql.Date.valueOf(stdate);
        System.out.println(currentDate);
        System.out.println(preDate);
//        int dateCom = preDate.compareTo(currentDate);
//        System.out.println(dateCom);
        long diff = currentDate.getTime() - preDate.getTime();
        int days = (int) Math.floor(diff / (24 * 60 * 60 * 1000));
         System.out.println(days);
}

How to Calculate the Time Between two days in ABAP

Hi,

Thanks,
Harinath

Hi Peeleti,
            Check this code,
DATA : DATE1 LIKE SY-DATUM VALUE '19830125',
       DATE2 LIKE SY-DATUM VALUE '20070219',
       DAYS1 TYPE I,
       WEEK1 TYPE I,
       MONTH1 TYPE I,
       YEAR1 TYPE I,
       C_YEARS1 TYPE I.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_99S_INTERVAL_BETWEEN_DATES'
EXPORTING
BEGDA           = DATE1
   endda           = DATE2
TAB_MODE        = ' '
IMPORTING
DAYS            = DAYS1
C_WEEKS         =
C_MONTHS        = C_YEARS1
C_YEARS         = C_YEARS1
WEEKS           = WEEK1
MONTHS          = MONTH1
YEARS           = YEAR1.
D_MONTHS        =
MONTH_TAB       =
*WRITE : / 'DAYS   = ', DAYS1,
        / 'WEEKS = ',WEEK1,
      / 'MONTHS = ', MONTH1,
      / 'YEARS   = ', YEAR1.
Using this code you can calculate the No Of Days Between two dates. Based On days you will easily calculate the Hour. [ No of days * 24 ].
Thanks.

How can i calculate the average in java

how can i calculate the avergae mark out of two marks for instance in like exam mark out
of two other ones
thanks for considering this message

Average or Mean:
sum_of_N/N
Here N is the number of marks.
sum_of_N is the total sum of n(all marks added together)
public int average(int[] marks) {
int sum;
sum = 0;
for(int i=0;i < marks.length;i++) {
sum=marks[i]+sum; // keep adding to the total
return average = sum/marks.length;
// warning- using an int here can be a pitfall(we could have a decimal outcome).

Calculate the Difference Between two dates excluding weekends and Holidays

Hi,
We need to calculate the difference between the two dates by excluding the Local public holidays (It is global and varies across countries) and weekends should not be included in calculation for a business day in OBIEE.
We have two dates: Open date and close date when ever close date is null we are calculating age based on taking the current timestamp and need to exclude the weekends and Holidays when ever the close date is null.
Ex:
Col1 col2 Total
11/9/2010 2:46:38 PM Null 13
11/2/2010 8:06:26 PM 11/3/2010 5:37:03 PM 1
(In the Total we shouldn't include the weekends,holidays)
Please let me know how to calculate the difference between two dates by excluding the weekends and holidays.
Thanks

How do i calculate the average of runs that have variable number of samples?

Hi
I am trying to calculate the average trajectory from lets say 4 runs, with varying sample size.
That is, if the the 4 runs have 78,74,73,55 samples respectively, How do I calculate the average of (78+74+73+55)/4 , (78+74+73)/3 and (78+74)/2 and 78/1 ?
Thank you

I'm not sure you gave a sufficient information. Assuming that you just want to calculate a linear average of the data collected in consecutive runs, you have two simple methods :
1/ concatenate the data before calculating the mean.
Simple, but can occupy a huhe amount of space since all the data have to be stored in memory
2/ store only the means Mi and the corresponding number of data points ni and calculate a balanced mean : M = sum (ni x Mi) / sum (ni) )
The attached vi illustrate both methods.

Calculate the difference between two dates

I would like to calculate the difference between two dates in PL/SQL and return the result as a number of days expressed as an integer value.

Denes,
A fair point, I should really have posted this on the SQL forum (I'm new to the forum as well as PL/SQL) but thanks for responding anyway. It does raise a question as to how to implement this in ApEx though.
I have created the function and am calling it as shown below from the source window of a form. The source type is 'PL/SQL expression or function' and the expression in the source window of the form is:
calc_date_difference (:p26_c_payment, :p26_c_rec)
The two parameters being passed are of type date but I'm not sure how to handle the ruturned number and populate the form in ApEx with this value.
Is it possible to do it this way or am I taking completely the wrong approach?
Regards
Sandy
This is not ApEx related but SQL related:
CREATE OR REPLACE FUNCTION calc_date_difference (
p_date_1   VARCHAR2,
p_date_2   VARCHAR2
RETURN NUMBER
v_difference   NUMBER;
v_sql_err      VARCHAR2 (4000);
BEGIN
v_difference := TRUNC (TO_DATE (p_date_1)) - TRUNC
(TO_DATE (p_date_2));
RETURN v_difference;
CEPTION
WHEN OTHERS
THEN
v_sql_err := SQLERRM || CHR (10) || CHR (10) ||
SQLCODE;
ND calc_date_difference;and
SQL> SELECT calc_date_difference ('23.01.2007',
'20.01.2007') diff

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

From two given tables, how do you fetch the values from two columns using values from one column(get values from col.A if col.A is not null and get values from col.B if col.A is null)?

Hi,
Use NVL or COALESCE:
NVL (col_a, col_b)
Returns col_a if col_a is not NULL; otherwise, it returns col_b.
Col_a and col_b must have similar (if not identical) datatypes; for example, if col_a is a DATE, then col_b can be another DATE or it can be a TIMESTAMP, but it can't be a VARCHAR2.
For more about NVL and COALESCE, see the SQL Language manual: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E11882_01/server.112/e26088/functions119.htm#sthref1310
I hope this answers your question.
If not, post a little sample data (CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements, relevant columns only) for all tables involved, and also post the results you want from that data.
Explain, using specific examples, how you get those results from that data.
Always say which version of Oracle you're using (e.g., 11.2.0.2.0).

How do I calculate the total size of selected folders?

Hello
My question is:
How do I calculate the total size of selected folders?
Thank you

It does show the aggregate size.
Command-Option-I opens the Inspector window. (Or open the File menu and hold the Option key. Get Info turns into Show Inspector.) The Inspector is similar to the Get Info window but it shows aggregate info for multiple selections. It is also dynamic — if you change the selection while the Inspector is open, the info changes to reflect the current selection.

Three Numbers questions:how do you change the auto default background or fill color from white to another color to use in multiple succeeding operations? what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percent?

Numbers questioons:
-how do I change the automatic default background fill color so it stays a non white color?
-what is the formula to express the ratio of two numbers as a percentage?
-how do I create a signal formula to be sue against an entire column of data (for example, if I wanted to multiply the each cell in the column by the number 10)?
-I have created a spreadsheet in Numbers with header and rows labelled and it contains formulas as well. I now want to create a new 'blank' of this template with same header and row names and formulas, but without the cell entries from my earlier exerciser so I can use again in the future. How do I do this?

Hi Matt,
For short columns, the easiest method is to select the cell containing the formula, then grab the fill handle (small circle at the botom right of the selected cell) and drag down.
For long columns, use either Jerry's suggestion (copy/paste) or Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Copy/Paste:
Select the cell containing the formula. Copy
Select from the cell containing teh formula to the end of the column. Paste.
Fill Down:
After entering the formula, and pressing enter...
Click on the column reference tab to select the whole column.
Command click on each cell above the one containing the formula to remove it from the selection.
When cell with the formula is the top cell in the selection, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
Pick whichever is easiest.
Regards,
Barry

How do you merge the data of two MIDI regions?

How do you merge the data of two MIDI regions into one MIDI region without using copy and paste functions in the piano roll editor?

Sorry - didn't make myself clear. The glue tool would be no good here. I meant that I wanted, for example, to merge the MIDI contents of two regions that are perhaps on different tracks but play back at the same time, i.e. I want to add the 2nd region's MIDI to the 1st region's MIDI, but without having to go into the piano roll editor and cut and paste the data.

Calculate? Calculate for wirespeed/line-rate? If the latter, take all the port bandwidths, and assuming they are duplex, double for necessary fabric bandwidth. I.e. 48 gig ports would need a 96 Gbps fabric. Take all your port bandwidths, and allow 1.448 Mpps per gig (for minimum size Ethernet packets), i.e. 48 gig ports would need 69.5 Mpps. Once you have required fabric bandwidth and PPS, you can compare to vendor's specs.
