i guess what i am trying to make is a form that will automatically calculate the difference in my investment account each month... and sometimes it goes up and sometimes it goes down... but having the difference calculated for me (without the possibility of me making a mathematical mistake) and then also giving me the percentage would be what i am looking for....
Numbers will do the calculations, but it doesn't read minds.
The formulas shown in my previous post assume a table arranged like the example below:
The results in the bottom three rows (Apr, May and Jun) are correct for the simple formulas given and for the data entered in the Amount column as the empty cells are evaluated as containing zero. In practice, you would want a formula that suppressed the calculation until something was entered in that row of the Amount column. That's easy enough to add, should you think doing so will be useful.
But it won't make Numbers read your mind.

  • I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and Itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognixed by all these devices?

    I cannot figure out how to set my apple id to use: itunes (two of accounts), apps store and itunes store. How do I make one password that will be recognized by all these devices? My apple id is constantly not working.

    Hi Lrwill,
    If the apps that are on your son's iPad were purchased under his Dad's Apple ID, then signing your Apple ID onto the iPad will not help you with updating those apps.
    Also, if the iPad was sync'd with his Dad's iTunes library, then hooking it up to your computer/iTunes library, will require you to reset the iPad, and everything that was loaded under the other Library and Apple ID will be wiped out.
    Can you provide a little more info about what was set up under which Apple ID and what iTunes library the iPad was sync'd with?
    Cheers,

  • How to read time stamps from a spreadsheet and calculate the difference between consecutive time stamps?

    Hi,
    I am new to Labview. This question might be a joke to some of you here, but any help would be greatly appreciated. I have a spreadsheet with time stamps and power outputs from a generator. I am supposed to calculate the difference between consecutive time stamps, which will act as a delay for the next power output update that needs to be sent. For example, lets say that I have to following data:
    Time Stamp                    Power Output
    11:00:00 AM                       3kW
    11:00:02 AM                       2.9kW
    11:00:04 AM                       3.2kW
    11:00:06 AM                       3.1kW
    The above data doesn't make any sense, but it is just for the purpose of this question.
    So, I have to read 11:00:00 AM and 3kW initially - 3kW is the initial request that is sent. Then I have to

  • I have both the iPad 2 and the iPad 4. Which picture will best demonstrate the difference between the Retina screen and the normal one?

    So i have both the iPad Retina and the iPad 2. I am yet to be convinced that there is a difference between the quality of the pictures on the two screens. They all look the same to me. Suggest a picture which will best demonstrate the difference that a Retina is infact a much much better screen.

    Look at the status bar, like where the word "iPad" appears in the upper left.
    Or...
    Look at the Calendar icon on the home screen.

  • How can I make a button that will work on iPads? (animate only on Mousedown)

    I am making an interactive page in Adobe Edge Animate. It will double as a low-mem website and also as an iPad page and is part of a larger flash website which is highly animated.
    This website sports two kinds of buttons; the ones linking to a label in the timeline and the ones linking to a URL.
    The problem is that I do not want the buttons to work on mouseover because that will be completely useless on iPads and similar devices. That is why I want the thing to animate on mousedown.
    What I did initially was to load the on and off states of the button to my timeline and made them into a symbol, after that I made two labels inside of that symbol; one for the on state and one for the off state. Below the first label there is a "sym.stop("ONstate");" action  and then my off-state button graphic has a mousedown "sym.stop("skipON");" action. Then comes the tricky part, I wanted to reference the label on which it should land in a onclick action on a root level. It didn't work at all. I used "_root.stop("label");". As you can see my programming abilities are extremely poor, I'm a graphics guy.
    Next, I decided to leave the mousedown action inside the symbol and do the onclick action on the main timeline, which did work for the most part, however it behaved weirdly. First off, the mousedown action worked perfectly, but not at the same time with the onclick action; You would click on the mousedown thing and it would stop on the frame and then you would need to click it a second time to go to the label.
    There must be either something  I'm doing wrong or this function is not supported by the Edge Animate beta. But my programming abilities are so poor to pinpoint the real cause of the problem.
    Can anyone help me please?

    Hi, redcrowdesign-
    Part of the problem is that you're using ActionScript syntax in a JavaScript environment.  Instead of using _root, you can access the Stage object.  If your symbol is only one level down, you can use sym.getParentSymbol().stop("label");.  If you have a nested symbol, you may find sym.getComposition().getStage().stop("label"); more effective.
    That being said, you might want to rethink your UI model and focus your iPad interactions on the touch events, which are much more performant than the mouse events.
    Hope that helps,

  • How to resolve a Lenovo PC that will not pass the Lenovo Splash screen with no access to Windows

    Here is my problem and here is the solution!!!
    My B540 Ideacentre would not pass the Lenovo splash screen. The only operational keys I had was F1 (BIOS) and F12 (BIOS options). F2 went to a light blue screen so no chance of even a one key recovery. Warrenty had expired four and a half months ago. I contacted Lenovo and after the guy told me to try F2 twice he said it was a HDD or other hardware failure and would cost around £200 maybe and also would take about two weeks. 
    AT THIS POINT YOU SHOULD NOT BE ANGRY FRUSTRATED OR PANIC. REMAIN CALM AND STOP AND THINK WHAT ACTUALLY WAS HAPPENING WHEN YOU LAST USED YOUR PC.
    For me I remembered Windows had auto downloaded 8.1 and was asking me to install. Also my keyboard had lost shift W T Y keys. This told me that it was not a hardware issue but a software issue and perhaps from this update. My HDD was not clicking or beeping and this PC has a 2TB Seagate Barracuda which has a good reputation. Luckly for me I also have a Seagate external expansion 2TB and a 500MB expansion which was the HDD from my old HP Touchsmart which I converted into an external hard drive by buying a HDD enclosure with cooling fan and all leads from eBay for £25 and this is where the solution is.
    If you can create an expansion drive so easily and access the HDD then why cant I do it with the HDD from my Ideacentre and of course you can. So first unplug your PC or laptop. Next remove the cover and unclip the HDD (which is easy with the B540. See user instructions). Next I removed my HP HDD from the enclosure and fitted my Ideacentre HDD in its place. Next you need a laptop or another PC. Switch it on and then connect your HDD to the laptop or PC via highspeed USB cable. My laptop is running Windows 7 Ultimate and of course has all the repair tools required. When the software has loaded you may get a box that will have two options. The first will ask you if you want to repair your files and the second to scan for bad sectors and to attempt repair recovery of sectors. Tick both boxes and click start. This is a long slow process but worth the wait. Nine hours later my HDD was ready. I connected my Seagate expansion to my laptop and moved all new files that I had not backed up. So at this point you should create a folder and move all your photos music videos documents etc to it. This can take upto three hours if you have never backed up before and are moving everything. Once completed I shut everything down and replaced the HDD into my Ideacentre. Make sure do not have any external devices connected such as expansions external drives headphones etc. Connect the power and switch on. The Ideacentre booted up and there was a pause at the splash screen then it went to a black screen and then by the miracle of logical thinking I was at my lock screen. I was never so glad to see the map of my home land "Ukraine". After jumping up and down with joy I then went in and all was as normal but to be sure I went into safemode and started a complete restore. This is the option where you completely format your HDD and restore as new. It takes a long time but it is the best option because you do not want this to happen again. When this has completed and you are in Windows do not wait a moment longer by playing with your photos or creating your desktop picture. Go to create a recovery drive (use a 32GB stick) and after that also make a copy to disc. Next go to command prompt (cmd) Admin and change a setting by typing bcdedit /set {default} bootmenupolicy legacy. This will now enable your F8 key to boot straight into safemode just incase you need to in the future. It will slow boot time a little but better to be able to get in to Windows than not at all for the sake of a few seconds. 
    Well I hope this helps someone out there and I know you may think its a lot to do but it is not. Ask a friend to borrow a laptop or PC and perhaps a HDD encloser. The rest is just time but when you see your lock screen you will not care trust me.

  • How can I make Firefox recognise that I have changed the DNS servers to use?

    After I edit /etc/resolv.conf to make my computer use more reliable DNS servers, Firefox doesn't notice until I restart it. How can I make Firefox notice the change without restarting it?

    I discovered that I can do this by ticking Work Offline in the File menu, and then immediately unticking it again.
    (I believe this mimics what would happen if the operating system disconnected and reconnected from a wireless network, which would be a situation where Firefox would need to check for new DNS servers. So that explains why it works.)

  • How do I create a form that will give a report that summarises before and after data on the same graph?

    I have a number questions that I want to know the average of all the before and after data to compare them, how do I set this up in a form in FormsCentral?  Here is an example of what I want to do - the green bar is "before" and blue is "after"

    This isn't something that you can set up in FormsCentral. It's possible to something similar with a form you create in Acrobat and use with FormsCentral, but there is no sort of built-in graphing control. The bar graph could be implemented with some JavaScript that controls annotations or fields (buttons) and perhaps some text fields.

  • How can I make a timer that will record elapsed time up to 15 hours with a PCI-6503E DAQ card?

    I'm a beginner LabVIEW programmer, but need to take measurements of elapsed time from the start of data acquisition for up to 15 hours. I'm using a PCI-6503E card. Looking at examples on the web and LabVIEW, itself, I was only able to find a way to take time measurements with a DAQ card up to 167 s, unless two counters were tied together, but there are no instructions on how to do that. Could someone help me? Thanks.

    I suggest you to look in the Resouce Library: inside it there is plenty of useful examples.

  • How does one create a form that redirects based on the input of the form?

    What I am trying to do is have a form with one input. Lets call it "ID".
    There are multiple pages that the form can direct to depending on the ID the user inputs.
    All of the page extentions end with the ID. For example www.page.com/0001.html.
    So I want the user to put in "0001" then submit. The user will then be directed to page www.page.com/0001 if they put in an invalid ID user will be directed to "ID not found" page.
    Any help would be much apreciated!! Thanks.

    on form.php put a form like this:
    <form method="POST" action="redirect.php">
    <input type="text" name="id" value="" /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="redirect" />
    </form>
    on redirect.php put this:
