How to define a cell name in numbers?

How do I define a cell name to use in a formula. I want to calculates costs for a dinner function where the number of guests, costs etc are variable. I want to use the number of guests in different formulas in the spreadsheet.
So I need to have a cell where I enter number of guests once and this will then reflect in all formulas where I use the cell name: 'number_of_guests'
Thus cell A1 will have the name 'number_of_guests' and I could type any number in there.
A formula in a later cell will then be =$100.00*'number_of_guests' to get a total cost, etc.

How to "lock" a cell reference in Numbers??

HELP! I am a recent convert from Windows based machines to Apple. I am very familiar with Excel and need to figure out how to do something in Numbers....
I need to know how to lock a cell reference so that when you drag the formula down or across it keeps the same cell reference. In Excel you can do this by picking the cell and then hitting F4 to either lock the column, row or both.
Anybody out there help a newbie?? Thanks

Thanks Jerrold, I'm using them that way. My request has to do with
using them as an Absolute Reference versus a relative reference.
If I specify a header ref for a cell in a formula, when I drag that
formula to some other cells I want Numbers to treat it as absolute,
ie. as if I had said $A$5. What I am finding is that it does it's default
behaviour, ie. it is translating the formula reference to a new cell just
as it would do for a reference like A5.
ie. with header references, what is the equivalent of specifying $A$5?
($header name doesn't work ).
thx, rob

F110-How to define DME file name in OBPM4 composed of Paym Run Date+Name

Hello,
In OBPM4 there are 2 options to define the name of DME file by standard settings:
1. If the file name is not defaulted by the parameters, it is generated by the program.
2. If the user defines the file name, a four character sequential number is also assigned.
Is it possible to define (by some customization, function, UE.....)
the file name which will be dynamically composed of Payment Run and Payment Date?
For example, 09082009CH001 while 09082009 is Payment Run Date and CH001 is Payment Run Date.
Thank You in Advance

HI,
OBPM4 is for maintaining the variants for the DME file output. IN OBPM3 you can write an ABAP program (function module) in the event module selection of the customer setting. At our clients place we have used this to define the file name as well as the path in which the file needs to be saved.
Hope this helps.
Thnaks and Regards,
Anit

How do you format cell size in numbers for multiple cells at the same time?

How do you format the cell size of multiple cells at once in numbers?

select the cells you want to format by clicking at the top-left most cell, then shift click the bottom-right most cell.
Then open the inspector by selecting the menu item "View > Show Inspector", then click the table inspector segment:
now use the row height and column width fields to adjust as needed.
You can also select multiple rows and columns by clicking in an active tables row/column header, then dragging to select rows (or column), then hover the cursor on the line the separates rows (or columns) until the cursor changes to a bar with arrows, then click, hold, and drag as needed.

How to declare this variable x_numer?
"select single numer into <b>x_numer</b> from TableName"
Thanks!

While declaring, you assign type. You can also assign default value or make it constanrt also.
Like this:
DATA: USER LIKE SY-UNAME.
DATA: text_buffer TYPE string VALUE `Text`,
      count TYPE i VALUE 1,
      price TYPE p DECIMALS 2 VALUE '1.99'.
Go to Se37 or Se38.
Type RS* and drop down and you will see bunch of programs and FMs. choose any of them.
this will display the program.
In that press f1 and you will get the abap help and you can search by key words.

How to define on cell-level: ready for input or not?

Hello,
we would like to define on each cell of a table if it's ready for input or not.
Not only rows or columns should be marked as input-ready but single cells.
E.g. The user should be able to say A2 is ready for input, B3 ist not.
Thank you,
Daniel

Hi Daniel,
I can not imagine such a function.
What is possible, is that you define the data slices according to what you want to be able to enter. so if you include several char with certain values in your data slices, your mask in the end will have the look, that certail cells are not ready for input.
Unfortunatly you can not set data slices on key figures, so maybe you need an account model.

HOW TO DEFINE VIRTUAL HOST NAME IN HPIA64 + SAP R/3 ENTERPRISES 4.7

Hi all,
I am trying to install sap r/3 enterprises 4.7 with OS as HP-UX and Database as Oracle in a cluster environment.
In cluster environment sap installation should be done on virtual hostname ( package id ). I'm using the env variable SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<VIRTUAL HOSTNAME>.
My cluster is running and I'm able to ping it from network, but at the time of SAP Installation my sapinst starts with the physical host name not with the virtual host name.
What can be the solution ..?
Thanks,
Chandresh Pranami.

Hi Chandresh,
Try executing sapinst with virtual hostname.
eg. ./sapinst SAPINST_USE_HOSTNAME=<VIRTUAL HOSTNAME>.
This should work.

How to define ACH file name in OBPM4 so that rundate is also displayed

Hi All,
I had done configuration in OBPM4 so that file is direclty sent to AL11 to the given path. My server is of 4.6c
I had assigned file name to it . What I had observed in AL11 that along with the filename 4 characters sequential no is also assigned .
for eg: xyzfile.txt.0124 .
My requirment is that I should be able to display rundate also along with the filename.If rundate is 09/15/2010 (mmddyyyy)
like xyzfile.09152010.txt .
I think I had to do some setting in OBPM3 , if I am right please guide me what all I had to do or else suggest someother way.
Thanks in advance.
Vengal Rao.

Hello,
Try OBPM3 but use display. Click on the Standard Settings for the format and review from there. There is a field "Indicator: Payment Medium w/o Documents" the seems to be linked to a file.

Does anyone know how to print selected cells in a Numbers spreadsheet, rather than printing the entire sheet?
Also, how to save the selected cells as a pdf file without saving the irrelevant cells?

Hi nmygs,
How about this?

Other cells contain formulas to find a match for whatever is chosen in A1 from the Very Big Data Table.

I have two cell phone, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can i merge them so apps on one show on the other but keep their emails addresses separate on their own phone?

Have two cell phones, different numbers. Each has their own apple id. How can I merge them so apps purchased on one phone show on the other. But.as each has their own email address, I want to keep these email addresses separate on their own phone? Thanks.

We do this in my family now. We have one account for purchases, so it is used to share music and apps (I think that is in Settings/iTunes & App Stores). Each iDevice has this configured.
Then, each of us has our own iCloud account that is configured under Settings/iCloud. That then allows us to have our own Mail/Contacts/Calendars/Reminders/Safari Bookmarks/Notes/Passbook/Photo Stream/Documents & Data/Find My iPhone/and Backup. That Backup piece is pretty sweet and comes in handly if you replace your iDevice. You can just restore from it.
So we all share the Apple Store account but we all have our own iCloud accounts to keep the rest seperate or things like you mentioned are a nightmare.
In answer to what iCloud does for you: http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/
Think of it as an internet based ("cloud") area for all of those items listed in my response. What you need to remember is photo stream only maintans the last 1000 pictures so don't count it as a complete backup solution for your pictures. Even though I rarely sync with a computer these days, I do still try to sync my phone with iPhoto (I have an iMac) so that I have copies of all of my pictures. 1000 may not stretch as far as it sounds.

I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me?

I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me? The final result would be a spreadsheet telling there were 8 people from 20 to 39 years old, 14 peolple from 40 to 59 and so on...

This appears to be an 'input form' using 'Radio Buttons' to select the category. Neither of these features are supported in Numbers '09.
You can input the data on one table and summarize it on a second table, but the input table will continue to hold data for each event.
And by using the Reorganize button, you can hide all but two rows of that table to approximate the appearance and performance of an input form.
Here are the two tables, Data on the left and Summary on the right. Notes below.
The grey-filled columns in both tables are 'working' columns, and may be hidden (as shown in the image below).
Data table:
D1 contains the word "TRUE" (in capital letters). (This row is always shown.)
D2 is empty, or may contain any value except "TRUE" (This row is always hidden under the Reorganize rule.)The rest of Row 2 of this table requires the data shown: a number outside the range to be counted (999), and two checkboxes, both checked.
D3 (and filled down the rest of column D): =AND(OR(B2,C2),NOT(OR(B3,C3)))
The formula returns TRUE only for the first unused row in the table (ie. the first row for which neither checkbox has been checked)
Summary table:
Column A contains labels for the age ranges to be counted.
Column B contains the same information in the form necessary for the formulas in columns C and D. They need a numeric value, and that value must be the largest acceptable value in the range to be counted.
C2 (and filled right to column D, then both filled down to row 5):
=COUNTIFS(Data :: $A,"<="&$B,Data :: B,TRUE)-SUM(C$1:C1)
Two changes from the previous example:
COUNTIFS is used to separate the Native and Foreign counts as well as the age range to be counted.
The amount subtracted from each result is the SUM of the earlier results, and includes the text value in the first cell of the column (which is interpreted by SUM as a zero).
See note below regarding my earlier formula.
When the greyed columns are hidden and the checkbox in the Reorganize pane is checked, the two tables will appear as shown below:
Close the reorganize pane, and the 'data entry form' is ready to use.
To use, enter the age first, then check one of the boxes.
As soon as one box is checked, the row will be hidden, and the next (unused) row will be shown.
Regards,
Barry
Note regarding formula in my earlier post:
The earlier formula will give erroneous results as it subtracts only the count directly above it from its count of persons in the age range 0-n.
In E2 of that table, replace "-E1" with "-SUM(E1:E$1)
Fill down to E8.
Ignore the instructions (in that post) following "Fill down to E8."

How do i lock cells in numbers

How do I lock cells in Numbers? I'm trying to create a spread sheet that will have unused cells and I want to lock them so my associates don't accidentally fill them in and cause the finished product to look muddled.

Wayne,
I previously could lock tables in my Numbers tables in my Spreadsheets by tapping the top left corner and it would show up as an option to lock it. As of Numbers 2.0 (noticed today), I get the option to unlock tables, but not to relock them after making the corrections.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!
