How to write a formula in number just like in excel... I simply have not been able to do that ... I am at the point that I think of returning the iPad tomorrow

Have not been able to write a formula in iPad using the key board rather than the iPad menu... For example I am simply trying the write. =sum(k3:k24). I cannot do that. Why not?

Going to return the iPad simply because you didnt read the help pages? Does that mean that you spent that much money to run a single $10 App on it and that was it?
Look under the wrench icon and tap Help. It has a whole section on how to enter formulas. If your reading this on a desktop or want the web site version of the help section you can folloow this link: http://help.apple.com/numbers/ipad/1.5/ that has it.

CA Forum: Formula
Hi
Could any one please help me on writing the formula for the below senario.
I'm creating Crystal report Via using ClearQuest (IBM tool) since this tool is not supporting subreport function. I'm planning to write a formula.
I have grouped report by request_type field (request_type field contains Validation Defect, Production Defect, Known Defect etc..)
right now my report output is grouped by request_type
ex:
Validation Defect
                     SUMMARY                                                          COMMENTS
Production Defect
                   SUMMARY                                                          COMMENTS
my question was
If request_type = Production Defect display pm_number value field otherwise display null
ex
Production Defect
PM#          SUMMARY                                                       COMMENTS
Validation Defect
                 SUMMARY                                                       COMMENTS

How to write a formula that includes the value of a cell from another external numbers file ?

Any answers ?
Upgrading to Numbers '09 ?

How to write a formula using Boolean Operators?

Dear BW mates,
I have two Key Figures stock and Prevous 12 week Stock.
I want to calculate Excee stock from these with the following condition.
If Prevous 12 week Stockis less than stockthen substract Prevous 12 week Stockfrom the stock. Thease substracted value is the Excee stock.
Thanks,
SB

Hi Reddy,
Create a formula 'a' as i said first or you can use
(Stock-Prev. 12 week sale ) directly in Excess Stock
formula.
Excess stock = ( Stock >Pre.12 week Sales )*(Stock-Prev. 12 week sale ) .
Formula works like this:
if Stock>Prev 12 weeks sales,
Excess Stock = 1 * (stock - Prv 12 weeks sale) = stock - Prv 12 weeks sale
if Stock is not greater than prev 12 week sale,
Excess Stock = 0 * (Stock-Prev. 12 week sale ) = 0.
have you got it?
i assume Stock and Prev 12 week sale Keyfigures are of same units.
thanks

How to write this formula??

Hi
I am trying to create one formula in query designer and use it in Condition in Query designer..but its failing for some reason.Can anybody see why its failing?
Defintion is:
Either X NOT EQUAL TO ZERO or Y not equal to zero and A-(X+Y) SHOULD BE IN BETWEEN 0 AND 150
X,Y,A are selections where as A-(X+Y) is a formula.
The query should show all items that pass the above condition.
I created formula like below
1*((0<=A-(X+Y)<=150)AND((X NE 0) OR (Y NE 0))).
My query is showing items which it should not be shown.I think the condition is passing these items eventhough it shouldnot.
Once I save,the formula is becoming automatically like below:
1*(((0<=A-(X+Y))<=150)AND((X NE 0)OR(Y NE 0)))
Can anybody helpout?
Thanks.

Hi,
sometimes BEx formula doesn't work correctly with a large number of parenthesis but you can split your formula in:
- the first one (you can hide it) is this check 0<=A-(X+Y)<=150;
- the second one is this formula: COUNT(x) * COUNT(Y).
If you want you can try to implement these formulas in only one anyway: (0<=A-(X+Y)<=150)COUNT(x)COUNT(y)
COUNT fx gives you 1 if operand is <> 0, else 0.
Hope it helps.
Best regards.

How to Write a FOX Formula in Intergrated Planning Functions?

HI BI-IP Experts,
I have just written a FOX formula to call an ABAP Function Module which will execute a Process CHain to run.
Here is what I wrong in the FOX formula in the Planning Function ZPF_FOX_CALL_PC.
Call Function Z_CALL_PROC_CHAIN
= * 1.
I had to add in this line otherwise the system do not allow me to save the FOX.
In the Function Module Z_CALL_PROC_CHAIN, it contains the following codes:
    SUBMIT rsprocess
           WITH type    = 'CHAIN'
           WITH variant = 'Process chain name'
           AND RETURN.
Next I created a workbook with a button that executes this Planning Function ZPF_FOX_CALL_PC.
The button contains 3 lines:
CMD => Execute Planning Function
Planning Function Name => ZPF_FOX_CALL_PC
CMD => SAVE_AREA.
After I clicked on the button, my excel seems to be running and I waited for very long but nothing happens.
And it seems to be running and running and won't stop.
Is it because the program is running in a loop because I missed out some codes in the FOX?
Thanks,
Shunhui.

hi,
Since you have not given any condition, the fox formula is being executed for all the number of records...thats why you are seeing the loop.
example if you have 10 records in your BPS template, the formula is getting executed 10 times for each
you need to select the field for condition which will make 1 entry, so the function module gets executed just once..
or.. in the function module when you trigger the process chain, make an entry in a database table... when the 2nd row starts, it will check the table... if the entry exists, it will skip the scheduling of process chain... so on..
In the process chain.. at the end, delete the entry from the database..
so your code in the function module should be like this ... assume you have 10 records..
select * from table zlock where process chain name = pc name
(this is to check if the process chain is already running, if yes skip, if no trigger the process chain)
if sy-subrc eq = 0.
exit
else.
DATA: number           TYPE tbtcjob-jobcount,
      name             TYPE tbtcjob-jobname VALUE 'JOB_TEST',
      print_parameters TYPE pri_params.
CALL FUNCTION 'JOB_OPEN'
EXPORTING
    jobname          = name
IMPORTING
    jobcount         = number
EXCEPTIONS
    cant_create_job = 1
    invalid_job_data = 2
    jobname_missing = 3
    OTHERS           = 4.
(this will trigger the process chain in background)
IF sy-subrc = 0.
SUBMIT rsprocess
WITH type = 'CHAIN'
WITH variant = 'PC name'
VIA JOB name NUMBER number
                    AND RETURN.
(after the process chain started, make an entry in the lock table.. so it will not be executed again)
insert entry in table zlock
ENDif.
endif.
I understand this is complex, but I think its one solution I can think of.

How to change the variable value in fox formula?

Hi All,
    Please help me achieve this scenario,
         in the variable selection screen , i wil give some i/p like, calyear(0calyear) = 2008.
      In planing function using FOX formula, i must be able change the variable value to 2009.
Will it be possible to achieve this, can we change a variable value using FOX formula, if possible
please let me knw how to achieve this.
Thanks n Regards,
Priya.

Hi Priyadarshini,
i dont know what is your requirement exactly.If you can give a better explanation of ur requirement we can help you. But to answer your question yes we can get new values for the variable in the planning function.
for this you need to couple the planning function together with the planning filter in a planning sequence. This planning filter should have the variable that you wanted to change. In the WAD when you want to call this planning sequence there is an option to call variable screen. If you enable this, it will pop up the variable screen to get this value again.
Guess this was helpful.
Regards.
Shafi.

How using ABAP function in fox formula ?

Hello,
I want to launch standard function :"RSW_CURRENCY_TRANSLATION" by Fox formula. I declare this function in SAP Table :rsplf_fdir, and I can call this function by fox, with all parameters.
But when I want to use it, I've a problem with the first parameter : "Formula error: Type RSR_CTTNM is not permitted"
What's the solution ?
Best regards,

Hi Cyril,
I read the fact that you have chosen to use CURC instead of the Function Module.
Did you fix your exchange rate type in your CURC formula: For example:
CURC (LCAMT,12312008,EURP,LCUR,GCUR).
Or did you make into a variable, that can be chosen at run time?
I'm asking because I'm trying to make the 'exchange rate type' in this formula to be more dynamic (like a local variable).For example:
DATA EXRATE TYPE 0RTYPE.
DATA EXRATE_V TYPE 0RTYPE.
EXRATE_V = VARV(EXCHRATE).
{0AMOUNT,GCUR, GCTYPE,FYPERIOD,VERSION,COSTELM,INT_ORDER} = CURC (LCAMT,12312008,EXRATE_V,LCUR,GCUR).
But the system returns the error meesage that it doesn't recognise 'EXRATE_V' even though i have declared it earlier on. So I have a fear that the system is expecting me to enter a fixed exchnage rate type that exists in RSCUR, in this formula..!! Is that true??
I don't want it to be fixed in the formula, it should be chosen at time of planning. How do you have yours right now? Do you know why I get this error message, and what I need to do to in the FOX formula, to make sure it can be populated at run time?
Thanks for your help and information in advance.

How to realize special scenario with FOX formula - FOREACH, variables

Hello,
we want to use the integrated planning for the following thing within the portal:
A salesman should add manual values (planned turnover) for his top 10 customers. The rest of his yearly budget should be distributed automatically and equally to the rest of his customers.
I thought a lot about it and arrived at the conclusion that:
- we have somehow to put the salesman number into a variable maybe also the year for which the planning should be done -- Which possibilities are given to do this?
- We need an additional flag that tells if this customer has to be planned / was planned manually.
After the manual planning a planning function (FOX formula) has to be executed in order to
1. get the budget that was already planned manually
    use of FOREACH in combination with an IF clause
    -- Which kind of FOREACH do I have to use?
2. calculated total budget - manual planned budget = budget that has to be distributed
    after FOREACH
3. count on how many customers the distribution has to be done and calculate the
    turnover per customer (rest budget / counted customers)
    use of another FOREACH loop which counts every value that hasn't got the flag set
4. distribute the remaining budget on the customers that weren't planned manually
    -- Can it be done with something like turnover=value that should be assigned ?
Maybe it's simple to realize this scenario but I'm a absolute "newbie" on that theme.
Thanks
Bettina

Hi,
I have been following this thread for quite long, here's my take on this
1. Please create all the master data like sales man, customers in BI. for the key customers add an attribute to key customer which can be a single character field.
2. Add Sales man as an attribute to customer master and maintain values for each customer.
3. Create an exit variable for customer number, this should read value from the sales man variable and populate all the key customers.
4. Create an agg level with the above 2 and the required time characteristic. There will be 3 variables on the input ready query a. sales man number b. key customer exit variable c. some time period variable.
5. Create a planning function of type generate combination for the agg level created in the above step. Add this function to the work book or the web template.
6. Now salesman will be able to go in and create his budget for the key customers.
Annual budget entry
1. Create an agg level without customer, add salesman and time characteristics.
2. create a query which will allow to enter data (yearly budget) for the salesman.
Allocation to non key customers
1. Create an agg level that should create the missing combinations sales man and non key customers. If designed properly the first agg level can also be used for this function.
2. Create a fox function which with foreach loop for customer and sales man if the amount is 0 add 1 to counter, also read the value wtih customer as blank (yearly budget), lastly if the amount is not blank sum up the amount. This will help in getting the balance amount.
3. get balance figure as total - allocated. One more foreach loop same as above if the amount is blank then amount = balance / counter.

How can I write mathematical formulas?

How can I write mathematical formulas?
I tried tu use the formula editor of ms word with paste and copy but it didnt work, because the formula
was not in line with the text.

I was able to use Word's equation editor; just type in the formula and copy it into the Pages document.
I've heard you can do the same thing with the equation bar in Grapher utility, but I haven't tried that.
Other options involve LaTeX, which is a typesetting program. I've looked at that but haven't really explored it.
