How do I create a rotating dish crew schedule in numbers?

Hi!
I have a group of 80 people working on dishcrew. I need 7 people for breakfast, 12 for lunch and 12 for supper. Every person is working only one shift per day and from Monday-Sunday. Can I somehow make a fomula or somthing that automatically makes the schedule for up to 6 month?
Thanks for you help!

Hi,
Here's an example. I've used smaller crews and a shorter roster to keep the result visible on the screen, but the formula used is written to be flexible regarding size of both.
The formula used is the same in every cell. Enter it into A2, Fill right for as many columns as you need crew for all three shifts (31), then fill the whole row down for as many days as you want the rotation to run.
=OFFSET(Roster :: $A$1,MOD((COLUMNS($1:$1)-1)*(ROW()-2)+COLUMN()-1,ROWS(Roster :: $A)-1)+1,0)
I've used a conditional format rule to fill the schedule with a light blue wherever the cell contains the first name on the roster. This is only to make the pattern more visible.
Dates in column A are in cells formatted to include the weekday name. The cells for September 10 and later are formatted with a Custom format that includes only the weekday, monthname and day elements.
Details on the functions used in the formula may be found in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide, which may be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Barry

  • How do you create a column of sequenced dates in Numbers

    How do you create a column of sequenced dates in Numbers without typing in each date? For example: 01/05/15, 01/12/15, 01/19/15, 01/26/15, 02/02/15, etc.

    Hi Cha Ling,
    Another way,
    Enter your first two dates that show the desired interval- i.e. 01/05/15 and 01/12/15.
    Select both cells and choose fill from the contextual menu.
    Drag down to fill your column.

  • How do I create a formula to convert words to numbers?

    Hi,
    Basically my spreadsheet is almost entirely words and as numbers (or excel for that matter) work with words (although this I have suggested as an improvement), I need to convert all the words to numerics.
    For example. I have a question with a drop down asking for male or female (I've done drop down lists as I want to cross analyse the results at a later date). I need to create a formula so that numbers automatically counts up all the males and females and puts them in another overall table. I guess I do this by creating a formula for numbers to turn all 'males' into 1 and all 'females' into 2, then ask numbers to count up all the 1's and 2's and put them in a table?
    Here are a couple of images which may or may not explain it further:

    Wasn't how to "automatically count up all the males and females" already answered in my first post to your question How do I create a graph in numbers? The coloured text is a link to that thread.

  • How do I create a list of only weekdays in Numbers?

    I would like to create a list of weekdays in one column. Using the highlight & drag method doesn't work, as Numbers repeats the highlighted list, instead of extending it. Here is what I am looking for:
    1/3/2011
    1/4/2011
    1/5/2011
    1/6/2011
    1/7/2011
    1/10/2011
    1/11/2011
    1/12/2011
    1/13/2011
    1/14/2011
    1/17/2011
    12/31/2011
    Any ideas on how to accomplish this easily?
    Thanks!

    All i did was type in the first weeks worth (say Jan 2 through 6). You can type the first and fill down for the other 4. Then in the next cell down (B6) just enter =B1+7
    This will add seven days to the first "monday" located in B1. Fill it down and it will continually add seven days to the date 5 rows above it.
    NOTE: this does not account for holidays. If you need holidays excluded, we need another method

  • How do I create a merged document using information from Numbers?

    I am new to using Mac and am trying to create a mail merged document.  I do not seem to have the same options in my Inspector that are referenced in the tutorial I found online.  Can anyone help? 

    That is because these are removed from Pages 5.
    Pages 5 is a much cut down version from the previous Pages '09.
    Pages 5 is designed to work better with the less featured iPad version.

  • How can I create a one time cron schedule that would execute only once in C#?

    I have used cron schedule in C# to create an application that should trigger a job only once. This code piece is throwing an exception, An unhandled exception of type 'Quartz.SchedulerException' occurred in Quartz.dll
    Below is my code:
    class Program
    static void Main(string[] args)
    Test();
    public static void Test()
    ISchedulerFactory schedulerFactory = new StdSchedulerFactory();
    IScheduler scheduler = schedulerFactory.GetScheduler();
    IJobDetail jobDetail = JobBuilder.Create<SatellitePaymentGenerationJob>()
    .WithIdentity("TestJob")
    .Build();
    Console.WriteLine(DateBuilder.DateOf(16, 30, 00, 24, 2, 2015));
    //ITrigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
    // .ForJob(jobDetail)
    // .WithCronSchedule("0 0 12 20 4 ? *")
    // .WithIdentity("TestTrigger")
    // .StartNow()
    // .Build();
    ITrigger trigger = TriggerBuilder.Create()
    .WithDescription("Once")
    .WithSimpleSchedule(x => x.RepeatForever().WithRepeatCount(1))
    .StartAt(DateBuilder.DateOf(12, 43, 00, 26, 2, 2015))
    .Build();
    scheduler.ScheduleJob(jobDetail, trigger);
    scheduler.Start();
    internal class SatellitePaymentGenerationJob : IJob
    public void Execute(IJobExecutionContext context)
    Console.WriteLine("test");
    I believe that the way I have done scheduling to be execute only once is causing the issue. Please advice.

    Hi mayooran99,
    From the additional information: Repeat Interval cannot be zero. The screenshot
    as below.
    You should specify a repeat interval in seconds. 
    Please try the following code
    ITrigger triggers = TriggerBuilder.Create()
    .WithDescription("Once")
    .WithSimpleSchedule(x => x
    .WithIntervalInSeconds(20)
    .RepeatForever())
    .StartAt(DateBuilder.DateOf(12, 43, 00, 26, 2, 2015))
    .Build();
    Have a nice day!

  • If I'm not prompted to save a password, how can I create an exception URL? Library card numbers are confidential by law and are being displayed on our machines

    The autofill/password function is allowing library card account nuumbers to display for every previous user on our library computers and probably other computers on campus. Since the box asking "do you want to save" does not appear, we aren't able to check the "Never" box and add the library catalog URL to the Exception list in the Security tool which was the solution recommended in 2011.
    Although we recommend our users change their PIN from the default, the majority of them do not so their library records are publicly available, which is a violation of the Patron Confidentiality Act in our states and probably the other 49 states.
    We would like to retain Mozilla as a browser option on our library computers, but if there is no way to fix this, we will have our ITS department block it on the College network.

    You can lock the browser.formfill.enable pref and possibly the signon.rememberSignons pref as well to false to disable remembering form data and log in names and passwords.
    <pre><nowiki>//
    lockPref("browser.formfill.enable", false);
    lockPref("signon.rememberSignons", false);</nowiki></pre>
    You can use a mozilla.cfg file in the Firefox program folder to lock prefs or specify new (default) values.
    Place a file local-settings.js in the defaults\pref folder where you also find the file channel-prefs.js to specify using mozilla.cfg.
    pref("general.config.filename", "mozilla.cfg");
    See:
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Locking_preferences
    These functions can be used in the mozilla.cfg file:
    defaultPref(); // set new default value
    pref(); // set pref, but allow changes in current session
    lockPref(); // lock pref, disallow changes

  • How can you create a drop down list of specific numbers that are in scientific notation?

    Is the best way to do this by constructing an enum and setting the
    individual values to a case structure which has constants that are the
    desired values... or is there a more straightforward way of doing this?

    Just use a menu ring and set the desired "Strings and values" using a property node (or, if they are static, by editing the items directly via the property dialog).
    Most likely, you also want to set the representation to DBL.

  • How can I create a stop animation video with single images in Premiere Pro?

    Let me start off by saying I am 100% new to pretty much all Adobe software as of about 3 weeks ago. I have been doing a lot of googling these past few weeks. With that said, I will do my best to explain my question.
    I am making a stop motion animated video.  I am not using several photos to create the look, but rather single photoshopped images that I have deleted the backgrounds out of. Basically the video is single charms "crawling" or flying in individually from off screen into a circle, there is a story explaining what each charm means. I started in After Effects, but had issues with audio... am I right in my understanding that you cannot preview the audio unless you use the preview feature? So my solution was playing a guessing game, rendering/exporting, importing it to Premiere Pro, taking notes and then heading back to After Effects to try to re-do the timing. Obviously this was not working too well.
    Then after doing more googling and clicking around I figured out you could layer images in Premier Pro and make them move just as you would in After Effects, which is great! There are two things hanging me up...
    1. I used the wiggle effect in After Effects. For the life of me I cannot find or figure out an effect or preset similar to this in Premiere Pro. Is there such a thing? Or do I have to create rotation keyframes? (I think I'm using keyframes correctly).
    2. Making the images stop-motiony and not smooth.
    My question is... any suggestions on how to re-create the wiggle effect easily in Premiere Pro? Or is there away to create the effect in After Effects and then import the image into Premiere Pro and still be able to change the position and timing?
    Please help! My deadline is tomorrow by the end of the work day!
    Please forgive me if these are silly questions... go easy on me, I'm soo new! Thanks in advance!

    Thanks so much for the reply!
    I read that... but it doesn't preview the whole thing? It only previews a few seconds and then loops. I tried to figure out how to change the preview settings, but I can't seem to get it to work.

  • How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    How can I create a high res image gallery, need to have print res photos for a pressroom section.

    If you want Muse to "pass through" your images and not adjust, compress, crop etc - you need to place your images in the lightbox EXACTLY at the right size, pre-cropped and prepped in Photoshop.
    So if your light box is 800x600 the image you're dropping into that must be 800x600 exactly with no effects, rotation etc added to the lightbox frame. This stop Muse fiddling with your images, if they are perfect when inserted and you're not asking Muse to crop, expand, add effects etc. If it's perfect when inserted, Muse SHOULD also leave the resolution alone too, but I have not tried that one, but in theory, it should work.

    Hello Ellie,
    This is what I do:
    First Create the brushes by selecting the shapes desired. Select the shape and place it into the burshes window.
    (Main Menu: Window + Brushes)
    Then A new window will show: Please select "New Scatter Brush"
    After you click OK, a new window will appear:
    In here I have selected Random Size, Spacing and Rotation. You may want to adjust the percentages to you design. The last thing to select is the Colorization Method; in this case "Tints" is selected because will allow me to change the color of the shape by using the color pallet window. After that click Ok and use the brush tool.
    This is the end result after using the Mask Feature:
    I know you can do something a lot better than this sample. I hope this helps!
