How to keep track of hours swapped at work? Newbie at Spreadsheets

Hi folks,
Can someone help me figure out what terms I need to research or suggest steps to do the following? I don't even have the language to know what to search for, without getting all kinds of wrong results.
What I want to do is build is a spreadsheet to track the hours I swap at my job. We work in shifts of varying lengths, and sometimes swap hours to help each other out. I've been trying to track these informal swaps through a list in Pages, but it's too confusing, over time, with 3 other co-workers to account for.
I imagine it would work something like having a sum total for each co-worker: A, B, and C, that would be modifiied by a cell in a column for the date. If I work a 4.5 hour shift for A, the sum for A would go up 4.5, and if he then works 5 hours for me, the sum would show that I owe him .5 hours. I'd need to create this for three co-workers. A way to note the date of the trade is important too.
If there's a name for this, a downloadable template, or a better way to do it, I'll be glad to learn of it!
BTW, I'm using Numbers '08 but I figure it's up to the task. Thanks for looking!

I think what you need to track are the pairs of swap counterparties, something like this:
When the party listed on the left of the pair works hours for the other, record it as positive. If the party on the right works hours for the party on the left,  record it as negative.  A positive sum at the bottom means the party listed on the left is owed hours by the party on the right. A negative means the party on the left owes hours.
This is a simple table. The first row is a Header Row.  The last row is a Footer Row. This allows you to add rows in the body by selecting any cell in the last row and hitting return.
The formula in B5 and copied right is =SUM(B).

  • How to keep track of how many times a link has been clicked?

    How to keep track of how many times a link has been clicked or accessed? Do I need to use database for this?

    Hi
    Proably something like this can work,
    1> Have a servlet/bean invoked when the link is linked
    2> have a static variable in that servlet/bean wich gets incremented before the control is passed to another desired page..
    The problem with this approach is that care has to be taken that the servlet/bean is not re-instalised, in case of which the static variable will also be instalised and the data would be lost.
    The best thing is to store the count in the database.

  • How to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in

    Hi All,
    I have basic knowledge of Session and Servlets. I am wondering how to keep track of the users who are all currently logged in. There should be some way of achieving it.
    I thought of it and come up with having an Application variable that hold it when ever a user successfully logged in.
    Thanks in advance for any reply.

    You can do this by keeping data in a static veriable in a some class of yours. The variable will need to be a collection.
    Whenever a user loogs in to the site a servlet/jsp should put the users information in to the collection and when logs off or when the session expires the entry should be take off.
    You can achive this by storing the velues in a some sort of a week collection where the entries are automaticaly removed when all the other refferences to the entry goes out of scope.
    You might need to read bit about java.lang.ref package and WeekReference
    Or you can make the entry in the collection contain the last time that the user visited any of the pages and a thread can run time to time and clean up the older entries which have timed out

  • How to keep track of the changes done in ALV GRID Report

    Hi Experts,
    how to keep track of the changed record in ALV GRID Report. how to set the field to be editable even for the entire row also. Can anybody guide along with code also?...
    Valuable answers will be rewarded.
    Thanks,
    Satish.

    Hi,
    Access the table through SM30. It comes blank as standard. Click "New Entries" and make entries for changes to be tracked. For example, whenever an org. unit changes 002 and 003 relationship, you will make entries like:
    01 O 1001 B002 Activate box checked
    01 O 1001 B003 Activate box checked
    Here, 01 is your active plan version, O is org. unit, 1001 is infotype and B002 and B003 are the subtypes. You can also use * for infotype and subtype which means every change will be logged.
    If you then run the report RHCDOC_DISPLAY through SA38, it will pick up all the changes pertaining to B002 and B003 relationship for org. units (in the above example).
    Similarly, you can set up this table for other object types.
    For more information, follow SPRO>Personnel Management>OM>Basic Settings>Activate change documents and go through the documentation for that node. Also, read up the documentation for the report.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to keep track of the sequence of the BSP Pages being invoked.

    Hi,
    How to keep track of the sequence of the BSP Pages being invoked.
    I have a BSP Page A.htm. There are two other pages B.HTM and C.HTM in the same BSP Application.
    The page B.HTM has a link A.HTM. The page C.HTM also has a link A.HTM. On clicking  these links the Page A.HTM would be invoked. Is there any way to keep track which BSP Page  (i.e B.HTM or C.HTM) invoked the page A.HTM.
    Any input on this Regard would be of great help.
    Thanks and Regards,

    Hi Pavithra,
    Declare in page attributes:
    appl_url type string
    In the onClick event of the link that calls the A.htm page , use:
    call method runtime->get_url
    receiving
    URL = appl_url.
    Now appl_url contains the url (also name) of the page that invoked A.htm .

  • How to keep track of emails btn Blackberry & Outlook???

    Hi,
    I'm considering buying a Blackberry Curve (Sprint).  My hangup thus far is that I want to have all of my sent emails in my Outlook on my home computer.  My solution thus far has been to use GoToMyPC so that I can connect to my home PC from any computer and take care of my emails.  Also, I work mostly from home, so this isn't a huge problem in terms of convenience and efficiency. 
    Most people tell me that they CC themselves when they send an important email from their Blackberry.  This is how they keep track of important emails sent from their Blackberry.  IS THERE ANOTHER WAY?  A MORE RELIABLE WAY?  IS THERE A WAY TO HAVE ALL EMAILS SYNC'D WITH OUTLOOK WHEN (THEORETICALLY) SYNCING MY BLACKBERRY WITH MY HOME COMPUTER?  IF NOT, WHAT IS THE BEST WAY?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gary 
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    I have two (2) EMails addresses; on is my blackberry address, and the other is my Outlook.  I mostly give out my Outlook address so I could have it on my PC at home, and when Isync it is there,. Or, in the field if I inadvertantly delete a message, I know it will still  be on my PC at Home. I think your friend is correct. If she has the Blackberry
    Enterprise System through her IT Dept. at work. I have the BIS (Blackberry Internet Service).
    I hope this helps. It is quite confusing

  • How to keep track of what I've previously draw

    They said:
    Everytime the paint method is called, everything that was drawn before must be redrawn. The paint method has no way to keep track of what you've previously drawn, it is your responsibility as the programmer to keep track of such things.
    Is this right?
    How can keep track of my random shades of random amounts?
    Is there a simple way to do that?
    In a example, I must use getGraphics to get JPanel's graphics, then I use it to random draw something in the JPanel.
    I just want to keep them in my JPanel when it resizes.I haven't get the answer yet.
    Can you help me?

    Ok I haven't got time to write the code for you, but here's the idea:
    //User drags mouse around to draw on screen
    //use mouseActionListener to catch MouseDragged event
    int x = mouseEvent.getX();
    int y = mouseEvent.getY();
    Point p = new Point(x,y);

  • How to keep track of last song played?

    Hi!
    Does anyone know how to keep track of which song played last time before itunes was closed? I have a big list of songs in my playlist and I play it everyday while I'm working. If I shut down my computer and start it again the next day, I have to manually look for the song I played the previous evening. Is there a way where it will keep track of the last song and play it from that?
    Thanks
    JB

    Subwaygirl, welcome to the Mac family! I'm not sure whether you're asking about beginning to play from the last song played on your iPod or iTunes so I'll answer both.
    From the iPod, simply hit Play and it will begin at the next song. It cannot go back to the last song played.
    From iTunes, use my answer to Chris to add the Last Played column, sort by that and select the song at the top of the list. That is your most recently played song. If you hit the >> or Next button you will then go to the next song in the randomly-sorted list.

  • How to keep track of how many records to display in a page.

    Hi All:
    I am using Weblogic 9.2, Web Services Client, and Struts.
    I have a java client in struts that calls a web services.
    The "ID" field contains a Java integer.
    The "First_Name" is a Java String.
    The "Effective_Date" field is a Java date field.
    The web service returns an arrayList of a class called Result.
    Code for Result.java:
    >
    public class Result
    int id;
    String first_Name;
    Date effective_Date;
    public int getId
    return id;
    public void setId(int id)
    this.id=id;
    public String getFirst_Name()
    return first_Name;
    public void setFirst_Name(String first_Name)
    this.first_Name = first_Name;
    public Date getEffective_Date()
         return effective_Date;
    public void setEffective_Date(Date effective_Date)
         this.effective_Date=effective_Date;
    From the arrayList, I displayed the result as the following:
    ID FIRST_NAME EFFECTIVE_DATE
    3 John 9/10/2007
    2 Andrew 1/11/2006
    5 Peter 3/4/2006
    The "ID" header is a link.
    The "First Name" header is a link.
    The "EFFECTIVE_Date" is a link.
    If I clicked on the link "ID", the first time, it will sort the rows in ascending
    order like the following:
    ID FIRST_NAME EFFECTIVE_DATE
    2 Andrew 1/11/2006
    3 John 9/10/2007
    5 Peter 3/4/2006
    If I clicked on the link "ID", the second time, it will sort the rows in descending
    order like the following:
    ID FIRST_NAME EFFECTIVE_DATE
    5 Peter 3/4/2006
    3 John 9/10/2007
    2 Andrew 1/11/2006
    If I clicked on the "First_Name" field the first time, it will sort the rows in
    desceding order.
    If I clicked on the "First_Name" field the second time, it will sort the rows in
    ascending order.
    This applies the same for the "EFFECTIVE_DATE".
    If the arrayList returns 80 records of class Results.java.
    I needed to displayed only the first 50 records for the first page and 30 records for the second page.
    How do I keep track of that so that when I am in the second page, I know to display only record 51 to 80?
    If I have a arrayList that returns 120 records of class Results.java.
    In the first page, it displayed only 50 records.
    In the second page, it displayed only 50 records.
    In the third page, it displayed only 20 records.
    Assuming I am able to sort the rows by ID, FirstName and Effective_Date by using Results.java implementing the
    Java Comparator class. Is it still possible to keep track of how many records displayed in the first page and how many records should
    be dispalyed in the second page?
    Any hint would be greatly appreciate.
    Yours,
    Frustrated.

    Hi,
    Access the table through SM30. It comes blank as standard. Click "New Entries" and make entries for changes to be tracked. For example, whenever an org. unit changes 002 and 003 relationship, you will make entries like:
    01 O 1001 B002 Activate box checked
    01 O 1001 B003 Activate box checked
    Here, 01 is your active plan version, O is org. unit, 1001 is infotype and B002 and B003 are the subtypes. You can also use * for infotype and subtype which means every change will be logged.
    If you then run the report RHCDOC_DISPLAY through SA38, it will pick up all the changes pertaining to B002 and B003 relationship for org. units (in the above example).
    Similarly, you can set up this table for other object types.
    For more information, follow SPRO>Personnel Management>OM>Basic Settings>Activate change documents and go through the documentation for that node. Also, read up the documentation for the report.
    Hope this helps.

  • How to keep track of views of a particular mysql entry

    I have a dynamic website through php and mysql. How do I get my website to keep track of the amount of views each entry got (and for the amount of views to be recorded in my mysql table? Is there an easy way to do this with dreamweaver?

    i do have a column for views but i have do not know how the results would be inputed.
    how do i use that "update statement" you mentioned to input increment view amounts in my column?
    table_name has column for views.
    page is a column in table that is used to dynamically display content based on title in URL parameter ie
    website.com/?page=home
    website.com/?page=about_us
    etc.
    Use query to update views+1 where page = the URL parameter that is entered into address bar to display the dynamic page content.
    $page = "-1";
    if (isset($_GET['page'])) {

  • How to keep tracks together in shuffle mode?

    When playing in shuffle mode you can't hear tracks in line together while they should be, e.g. in conceptalbums.
    Is there a way to overcome this?
    (You can do it with complete albums when downloading in the Library, but what can you do when the tracks are already in the Library?)

    Joepiet wrote:
    The second tab is calles 'Info' as well. Down under you have the possibilty to mark Part of a collection (Deel van verzameling). It should do the trick but it doesn't. I once tried, but I haven't found out what it does.
    In English, that is named as "Part of a compilation" and Google Translates that as "Deel van een compilatie". As far as iTunes is concerned, this means that the album has songs by different artists, albums such as the "Now X" series. It is how iTunes keeps a Various Artists album together.
    Joepiet wrote:
    I want to shuffle works, not tracks..
    Ah! I see what you want now!
    Two possibilities that I can think of (number 2 is the better one):
    Create a Playlist for each "work", by simply adding all the songs from one work to one Playlist and all songs from the next work to another Playlist and so on. Then, if you want to play one complete work, followed by another complete work, you could simply create a further Playlist and add each "work Playlist" you want to this new Playlist. To make the works random, all you could do is choose for yourself as you are adding them. You would need to play this new Playlist in order, not shuffle.
    If you originally imported this music from a CD, you could import from the CD again. But this time, combine the tracks that make up one work, as one track. iTunes names this as "Join CD Tracks" (or CD-tracks samenvoegen in the Dutch iTunes).
    In the screenshot above, I have selected tracks one, two and three and then used the options menu to find Join CD Tracks. This third option will not be visible until you select two or more adjacent tracks, as shown above.
    In the screenshot below, I have joined tracks one, two and three as one "work". Then joined tracks four, five and six as a separate work. Finally, I've joined tracks seven through twelve as a third work.
    Notice in the screenshot that the Options menu says "Unjoin CD Tracks". That is because the highlighted ones (7-12) are currently joined.
    And here it is in Dutch:
    With this second method, a work (of several tracks) will always be played as one track (or song). You can then simply add all the individual works to one Playlist, and play the Playlist in Shuffle Songs mode. That way, each work would be played in full, followed, at random, by another work.)
    And if you really need to - import the CD this second time with a slightly different album name, so that you then have two copies. One, where each song (or track) is the individual song on the album and the second where each "song" is a work.
    Now, lets hope I can get my iTunes back into "English" English, as my Dutch is not too good, even though I'm just the other side of the North Sea from you!

  • How to keep track of sessions ?

    Hi,
    Recently at an interview I was asked that how do you keep track of n number of user sessions in JSP ?
    Can somebody help me with the answer that I should have given ?
    Thanks.

    You would have to extend the session handling system using the various listeners for Session events. Check out the package javax.servlet.http.
    SessionListener: responds to sessionCreated/sessionDestroyed - so you can keep track of sessions as they come/go.
    You then also keep in memory (either a singleton, or in application scope) a permanent map of all the sessions. That way you knoe exactly how many sessions there are, and can get at the data for any or all of them.
    (Note this is a potential security risk, which is why the functionality was removed from the servlet framework)
    Another approach would be to use a SessionBindingListener, on a user object. This listener fires events when the object is bound/removed from a session
    Assuming it is an Intranet, where a user logs in, and after login, a "User" object is placed into session. This will let the user object fire an event whenever it is bound - ie when you log in. Thus you can keep track of who is logged in, and if they are logged in multiple times.
    Hope this helps some,
