How do I combine duration with hourly rate?

I've just started using Numbers, and am having trouble recreating my Excel billing sheet. I'm trying to create a spreadsheet which will track the time spent on a task, and then calculate the billable cost for that task based on my hourly rate. So far I've been able to calculate the number of hours/minutes, but can't seem to come up the correct combination of functions to calculate the cost of each task. For example:
Time in: 3:00 PM
Time out: 4:30 PM
Hours: 1h 30m
If my rate is $30 and hour, how would I calculate that for the fourth column? Also, what would be the best format for the hours so that it can calculate properly?
Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks!

Sure. Take your duration (1h 30m in this case) and use the DUR2HOURS function to turn it into a number.
D2=1h 30m
E2= $30
F2= DUR2HOURS(D2)*E2

How to combine rows with small numbers into single "other" row?

How can I combine rows with value 6(for example) or lower to single row representing the SUM of all this values and label OTHER, so the pie chart will have a chance to display all small values combined?
I'm using Numbers 09

HI Peter,
When you write a decimal number, is the decimal separator a period ( . ) or a comma ( , )? If it's a comma, then the syntax error can be corrected by replacing the list separator in the formula, a comma in Jerry's formula, with a semi colon ( ; ):
=SUMIF(B; "<6"; B)
(Added): The two Bs appear in blue 'lozenges' in Jerry's image because that is the way cell (or column) references are displayed in Numbers when a formula has correct syntax.

Freelance Q: Client wants lower fixed price - I want hourly rate

I worked for a client's contact in January on a 300 page submission in the 1st round of 2 to win a project (8 candidates). The submission involved designing and doing the production work on 32 separate segments of the submission, with lots of text, images, and diagrams. At the time my fees were based on an hourly rate up to 120 hours (my estimate of how long the job could take). Beyond that I had to gain permission to continue.
Production went very smoothly and my relationship with all parties was excellent throughout, with the client, contact and other contributors sending content really fast. Through the 160 hours there were probably up to 40 hours spent editing and re-editing text, and adapting layout with the contact's rep sitting with me.
I reached the 120 hours ceiling at 75% complete, got permission to push on, and eventually finished on 160 hours. Hourly rate was paid the whole time. I worked on average 9 hours per day.
The submission was successful, and proceeded to the 2nd and final round (3 candidates).
I've now been asked to take part in the 2nd round, and the deadline is 14 days away (including 2x weekends and 1x national holiday). The submission will comprise 9x documents, each ranging from 30-100 sides of A4 or A3. Total page count will be 500 sides. I've been given a brief with the names and major headings of each of the documents. Some of the content, as yet an unknown % but certainly no more than 30%, will come directly from the 1st round submission. There is no real re-design, the client is happy with the design - it's mostly a production task.
I was asked to submit an estimate to my client, which I did, and then got passed on to the contact. I set a ceiling of 120 hours (8.5 hours per day at this stage) to do the work. The contact has responded to my client saying he has a budget of X for the work (less than my ceiling), and if I can do it for that I will get the job. The budget equates to 100 hours of time (7 hours per day at this stage).
Based on how the contact edited and re-edited the same information for 40 hours in the 1st round, I'm loathe to end up working for free once we go beyond 100 hours. I also would like to get this project, and help complete what I started.
Does anyone have any advice on how to go forwards with this? Any help much appreciated.
Take the project as offered at 100 hours, and swallow any extra time?
Lower my ceiling to 100 hours, but need permission to continue and charge at hourly rate after that?
Offer 5% discount on hourly rate beyond 100 hours?

I use freelancers almost exclusively. The biggest problem with hourly rate is that freelancers milk the job to death. That's the reality with hourly rate. I've figured on 12 hours, doubled it to cover myself and I get an invoice with 60 hours and I take a bath.
So what I do with my freelancers and clients is this: I agree to pay freelancer a flat rate (say $800 for a brochure) that includes up to 12 hours and 3 ronds of revisions. After that I pay $40/hr. With the client, I give them the same parameters: $1200 for brochure includes up to 12 hours which include 3 rounds of revisions. After that I invoice at $75 hour. Client is notified in writing at the 9 hour mark and signs off on paying the hourly rate after 12 hours.
As an employer, I have to protect against a freelancer taking forever and as an agency, I have to protect against clients doing revision and revision after revision without compensation for my extra expenses.
In your case, you have to decide if this is going to be long term relationship. If you think it will or would like it to, you may need to negotiate a middle ground. And in this economy, someone will gladly do the job at less than you're getting paid. But as a professional, you should be fairly compensated.
Edit: Generally speaking, the longer the project goes on, the lower the rate. Similar to buying an item in quantity. Gets much cheaper as the hours mount.
For instance, On an advertising campaign I charge $150/hr (or project rate) to come up with a concept, then $100/hour for 2-3 mockups. Once client approves look, I charge $75 hour for production. Mind you, I'm hiring people to do whatever: PS, layout, illustration, etc. If you're over the 100 hour mark this has to be straight production which I wouldn't pay a freelancer more than $20-$30 hour.

Is it possible to combine JQuery with Captivate?

Hi there,
I'm using Captivate version 6 on a Mac OSX 10. I am creating an elearning resource for a client and most of their staff will be accessing it via iPads and iPhones, so I want to publish it using HTML5. They'd like to add a couple of drag and drop tasks (they don't need to be assessed) but the only way I can see to do this is via the Infosemantics widget. I've bought this and used it for previous projects, and it works well as a drag and drop, but obviously doesn't work on an iPad with it being Flash based.
I've seen that I can create a drag and drop exercise using JQuery, but then I don't know how I can combine this with Captivate to make one seamless presentation. Once the HTML5 has been published is there a way of bringing other HTML pages into it? Or could javascript be used within Captivate?
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Thanks in advance for any help.

There is a website, whose name escapes me ( I am at work ) which people submit to in a variety of languages and various formats such as Extended Cut, Directors Cut etc so that you have no need to mess about with them, just add them. Also, as I said above, some are just for non-English parts so don't show subtitles if the dialogue is in English.
Edit: found it. I use http://subscene.com/

How can i configure hourly rate 9.5 to calculate automatically basic salary

@akspecs -- Yes I was rapidly coming to the same conclusion, thanks.
Besides, I figured I ought to do it properly and learn how to actually configure and use WINE as it should be, from the command line!
In the meantime however I'd actually mitigated this problem by committing the ultimate sin -- I installed Windows natively in it's own partition and set up a dual-boot (bring on Steam for Linux so I can remove this evil!).
It's not even really a 'classic' dual-boot because with my EFI / UEFI mainboard (once I'd got the Windows DVD to play nice) it meant no need to hassle with boot chaining in grub / syslinux etc. Now I have 2 'native' EFI boot options (stored in my mainboard's NVRAM) it's just a case of hitting the button to bring up the boot-menu during POST, then selecting which OS I want to boot -- Arch by default of course!

How do i combine single pages into documents with Adobe?

Hi zebideeplus,
Using Reader, you need to purchase subscription for Adobe PDF Pack to combine PDF files into single document.
Refer: Acrobat.com Help | Adobe PDF Pack FAQ
But, if you need to combine single pages, then it can be done with Adobe Acrobat only.
Let me know if you have further queries.

How do I combine an old account with a new one on iTunes?

I have 2 email accounts set up with itunes. My first email account was hacked and I had to create a new account. How do I combine the songs listed under my old address with the songs listed under my new email address?

I'm looking for those folders and Im not sure how to look for the tracks that are on the other account if I have my current account pulled up.
Klovick,
If you have the track in your iTunes library, you can see where the song file is by right-clicking the library entry and choosing "Show in Finder."
Once you locate a couple of the song files, you should be able to suss out the folder structure where they are all residing.

Hello Halfback71,
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
For more information on this, take a look at:
Frequently asked questions about Apple ID

I have multiple Apple IDs. Is there a way for me to merge them into a single Apple ID?
Apple IDs cannot be merged. You should use your preferred Apple ID from now on, but you can still access your purchased items such as music, movies, or software using your other Apple IDs.
If you are wondering how using multiple Apple IDs relate to iCloud, see Apple IDs and iCloud.
Best of luck,

How do I combine an iTunes library on an external hard drive (laptop) with an iTunes library on an external hard drive on my PC?

How can I combine the iTunes library on an external hard drive (hooked to laptop) with the iTunes library on an external hard drive (hooked to PC) so that both external HD's and both laptop and PC have all the music on each one?

no need to create a secondary library - too troublesome, IMHO. you can spread your library over as many drives you can connect to your Mac (wired or wirelessly):
iTunes > preferences > advanced.
point iTunes media folder location to the external
on the same tab, ensure the copy files ... when adding option is checkmarked
okay out of preferences
highlight the content to be moved in iTunes and right-click
select consolidate files from the pop-up menu
wait for the process to finish
when done, you may delete the original files from your boot drive.
alternatively, you could move the whole shabang to the external HD:
copy the entire iTunes folder (not just the iTunes music or media folder) from <MacintoshHD>/users/<yourname>/music to the external, launch iTunes while holding the option(⌥) key, click on choose library when prompted, and select the iTunes folder you copied to the external.
when done, be sure to point iTunes media folder location to the external so that new additions to your library will be put there. also, you need to make sure the external is mounted on your desktop before you fire up iTunes.

I have two apple id accounts with separate music lists, how do I combine the music lists on my iphone?

I have two apple id accounts with 2 different email addresses and passcodes...how do I combine both lists of music on the two accounts into one list on my iphone, ipad and desktop?

Stop using one. Everything you've previously purchased from it has that Apple ID stored inside the file, which can't be changed.

It's not currently possible to merge accounts, nor to transfer content from one account to another account - content will remain tied to the account that bought/downloaded it.
