I need help with a formula for Numbers.

I keep getting a syntax error when I type this in...
=(B1/50)+(C1/12)-(MIN(D1, [4])+/5)
it is a formula to calculate weight watches points. here it is as seen on a website.
p=(c/50)+(f/12)-(min{r,4}/5)
p=points
c=calories
f=fat grams
r=dietary fiber
I have the cells so that b1 = calories, c1 = fat grams, and d1 = dietary fiber.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm thinking its just a simple mistake that I am making. Thanks.

the [4] item means nothing for Numbers.
My guess is that the formula is trying to get the minimal value in the duo D1 and 4
so you may try:
=(B1/50)+(C1/12)-(MIN(D1,4)/5)

Need help with a formula for an inventory spreadsheet

I made an inventory spreadsheet. What I would like to know is a formula to track how many of one item I sold.
This is what I have
Cell D is # In Stock then Cell F is # Sold.
As I sell one I take subtract it from cell D then I want it to Add one to Cell F. But when I add more inventory to cell D I don't want it to change cell F.
I don't know lots about the formulas but learning as I do more and more with numbers 09.
Thanks for your help

It sounds like you need three columns.
1. Number of items bought. This would be the column you add to when you purchase more of an item. It will equal the total number bought from day 1 to present.
2. Number of items sold. You would increase this each time you sell an item. If you're selling just a few at a time you could do this with a stepper.
3. Number of items in stock. Calculated by the formula "bought minus sold".
This would not be a very comprehensive inventory system as it will not have a record of the transactions. A more comprehensive system would include data on the transactions (dates and numbers bought/sold) plus correction entries (dates and numbers) for when you do a physical inventory check and it doesn't add up as you expected.

Need help with calculator project for an assignment...

Hi all, I please need help with my calculator project that I have to do for an assignment.
Here is the project's specifications that I need to do"
"""Create a console calculator applicaion that:
* Takes one command line argument: your name and surname. When the
program starts, display the date and time with a welcome message for the
user.
* Display all the available options to the user. Your calculator must include
the arithmetic operations as well as at least five scientific operations of the
Math class.
-Your program must also have the ability to round a number and
truncate it.
-When you multiply by 2, you should not use the '*' operator to perform the
operation.
-Your program must also be able to reverse the sign of a number.
* Include sufficient error checking in your program to ensure that the user
only enters valid input. Make use of the String; Character, and other
wrapper classes to help you.
* Your program must be able to do conversions between decimal, octal and
hex numbers.
* Make use of a menu. You should give the user the option to end the
program when entering a certain option.
* When the program exits, display a message for the user, stating the
current time, and calculate and display how long the user used your
program.
* Make use of helper classes where possible.
* Use the SDK to run your program."""
When the program starts, it asks the user for his/her name and surname. I got the program to ask the user again and again for his/her name and surname
when he/she doesn't insert anything or just press 'enter', but if the user enters a number for the name and surname part, the program continues.
Now my question is this: How can I restrict the user to only enter 'letters' (and spaces of course) but allow NO numbers for his/her surname??
Here is the programs code that I've written so far:

What you could do is checking the input string for numbers. If it contains numbers, just reprompt for the Name.
AND you might want to ask yourself why the heck a calculator needs to know the users Name.

Need help with MDX formula to sum months

I was able to use Gary C's suggestion to sum daily data for 90 days with the following formula.
SUM( TAIL( TUPLERANGE(
([FY_2006], [01/01]), ([Scenario].CurrentMember,
[Time].CurrentMember) ), 90 ))
This formula works great - even when crossing different years in the Scenario dimension.
I'm now trying to sum the prior 3 months using a similar TupleRange command:
SUM( TAIL( TUPLERANGE(
([FY_2006], [JAN]), ([Scenario].CurrentMember,
[Time].CurrentMember) ), 3 ))
I'm running into an issue due to additional parents in the time dimension. January and February of the current year are pulling data from the children of another parent in the Time dimension as opposed to Nov and Dec from prior year.
My Time dimension is setup as follows:
Time
|
|-Total Year
| |-Jan
| | |-01/01
| | |-01/02...
| |.
| |-Feb... Dec (each month has days as children)
|.
|.
|-QTDs
| |- Various parents and shared children
|.
|-Weeks
| |-FY08_Weeks
| |.
| |-FY09_Weeks
Using the previous TupleRange command, when I retrieve data for Jan it retrieves data from the following members:
Jan
FY08_Weeks
FY09_Weeks
Any suggestions on how I can write the MDX formula so my 3 Month formula pulls in the correct members? (That is, it should only pull in members from the 'Total Year' parent.)

In ASO architecture, if you want to aggregate these multiplied values you probably want to do the multiplication prior to loading so the sum of the products rolls up. Right now, you can't have the multiplication done in MDX and then have ASO aggregate. It's mostly a performance concern; you can do the multiplication and aggregation in one formula if you want. The basic multiplication is just [Standard Material Per Unit] * [Units Sold] To aggregate, you need to wrap in additional clauses. I've attached code here so you can see it with indenting- I believe that consistent indenting helps catch a lot of syntax errors. You will also need to assign the formula to a new member (account or otherwise). If you only want to see the values at level-0 and you don't want them aggregated, it's very easy: iif ( [Product].CurrentMember.[LEVEL_NUM] = 0, [Standard Material Per Unit] * [Units Sold], MISSING )

You can simplify it a little by factoring out the date differences:WITH got_d AS

 , -1
 ) AS d
 FROM table1
 WHERE dt >= ADD_MONTHS ( TRUNC (SYSDATE, 'MON')

SELECT SUM (CASE WHEN d = 1 THEN qty END) AS day_1
, SUM (CASE WHEN d = 2 THEN qty END) AS day_2
, SUM (CASE WHEN d = 62 THEN qty END) AS day_62
FROM got_d

Need help with correction inscript for duplication on regular basis

Hi,
I am using Oracle 10.2.0.4 on Win 2008 R2. We have Archive mode enabled and no rman catalog is used. I have a requirement where i have to duplicate prod sevrer on regular basis to development server.
I have created few batch files so that the entire process in automated. Stored all the scripts in c:\script\clone\ directory.+
I have taken the backup copy of password and spfile from prod server and copied to the development server in same location.
These are the scripts i run in order:
*1_clone.bat*
set ORACLE_SID=orcl
sqlplus / as sysdba @c:\script\clone\2_test.bat
*2_test.bat*
shutdown immediate
startup nomount
host rman target sys/oracle@live nocatalog auxiliary / @c:\script\clone\3_rman.rcv
*3_rman.rcv*
run {
allocate auxiliary channel d1 type disk;
duplicate target database to ORCL NOFILENAMECHECK;
exit
When the duplication process in about to finish, i get below error:

When i press exit, this window closes and i can run the alter database open resetlogs;+ command from a new sql prompt. I check online and some suggest there might be a window open with system user connected. Please suggest any changes in the script.
Best Regards,

Hello;
Having another session with system user will cause rman to throw this error. For example another session used to start up database in nomount mode still being active.
Duriing the cloning process the rman session needs to be exclusively connected to the auxiliary instance (no other session are allowed).

Not exactly iweb - need help with a graphic for my site

This doesn't fit anywhere so dumping it here. I drew by hand a graphic I want to use with iweb to put on my site as my site's logo. Main problem is that getting the background transparent isn't working well as when it was scanned the scanner didn't back the background "pure" white. I have tried adjusting the whitepoint and setting the color depth down, but still no good. I don't know a ton about graphic program use. I have an older copy of graphic converter that came on this powerbook when i got it. I would be fine having the graphic loose the marker look and have solid fill colors - just I am not good enough with computer drawing tools to do it on the computer! So I either need to get a volunteer to help me out, or some help with some detailed instructions to get this to work out... (also I am broke so no cost/shareware is only option here)
many thanks!!!!
I can get you a scanned jpg of the pic if needed.

THANK YOU/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png so the tolerance makes it not care so much about the gradations in color? what else is tolerence good for?
I have a cleaner copy now after someone suggested GIMP, so played with it last night - though couldn't figure out transparency - that was clear on converter- just not cooperative till these wonderful directions.
So now I know how to do it without messing with the pic, and with messing with it - both good lessons and got a bit brighter color out of the deal.
many thanks for the straightforward and clear directions, they worked perfectly/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png extra strars for you/___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png

Need performance! - Need help with Server Architecture for SSAS on Azure VM

I would like to build 100% Azure VM base solution. We can install as many as needed.
I have large amount data in DW. (100GB-1000GB)
I would like to provide PowerView reports in SharePoints.
I would like to have report data be as real time as possible. (Min data is updated once in 2 hours)
These are requirements:
-SharePoint 2013
-PowerView
-SSAS OLAP Cube
-SQL Server DW&Staging DB (Currently DW&Staging on same server)
I need help specially what can be done with SSAS to meet requirements? Should be installed to own application server? Possible to install multiple SSAS? SSRS needs own server?
I appreciate also links to server topology diagrams.
Kenny_I

I assume you mean 100GB-1000GB (not 1000TB) right?
For Sharepoint I would refer to the sizing guide for diagrams and sizing:
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff758647(v=office.15).aspx
SSRS (and Power View) will run in the SharePoint farm on a SharePoint app server potentially with other SharePoint services.
I would definitely put SSAS on a dedicated server for a cube that size. Depending on how well your data compresses, there may not be a VM in Azure with enough RAM to put your model into a Tabular SSAS model. I would prototype it with a subset of data to see
how well it compresses. You can always use a Multidimensional model as a fallback.
Depending on how much processing the SSAS model impacts user queries (since it is happening during the day) you could build an SSAS processing server and a separate SSAS query server and run the XMLA Synchronize command to copy the cube incrementally from processing
to query servers.
Does that help?

Need help with installing Windows for the bar exam

I need to retake the bar exam in Feb 2011 and I've decided to switch to typing. I am trying to figure out what Windows I need (the software says XP is fine but is that even available anymore)- so can someone walk me through this process? I've partioned my hard drive with the default 5GB but should it be more?
I'm looking at buying Windows- is XP okay or should I shell out for 7-i.e. is one more compatible with Macs?
And then finally, in the installation instructions they mention that I need my Mac OS disc for the process- is that the snow leopard disc or something else? My discs are in storage right now so should I wait until I get them before starting this process or can I get replacements if I accidentally threw them out in moving?
Sorry for all the questions, but well, I'm racing to get everything done and I want to make sure I don't crash my system halfway through the exam!

You don't need Boot Camp, but even XP will have a lot of stuff to update from after the install, and that takes temp space. Just as your Mac shows 5-10GB there is add'l hidden space used.
Apple's 'requirements' has gotten others in trouble and I was pretty sure it was more like 10GB. Plus a lot of XP discs are now SP3.
XP out of the box but connected to the net is just waiting for malware, average is 15 minutes to be infected. 7 is better and just in case you need it again.
System Builder can come in 32 or 64-bit but XP is 32-bit only.
VirtualBox by Oracle is a free VM.
1GB for one program actually seems like a lot, or is that RAM requirement?

Mike,
I'm not going to be much help with Boot Camp however I can direct you to the Boot Camp forum where there are more people that know how to troubleshoot it and Windoze 7. You can find it at:

Need help with user ID for this forum

I have problem that I can't seem to get resolved online which involves my Apple Support user ID... Sorry to post this here, but I don't know where to go for help.
I have been a member of the apple community for a long time (since 2002) but my login ID and user ID seem to have been disconnected. Happened when I tried to sign in once and had all kinds of problems. Now I've created a new user ID but would like my old one back. I've tried several times to get my original user ID back, but there seems to be no way to get it back... If I sign up for the user ID, it tells me that it is taken (because its mine).
Can you help me? Is there a real person I can contact who can help me?
Thanks for any support.

Need help with Java app for user input 5 numbers, remove dups, etc.

I'm new to Java (only a few weeks under my belt) and struggling with an application. The project is to write an app that inputs 5 numbers between 10 and 100, not allowing duplicates, and displaying each correct number entered, using the smallest possible array to solve the problem. Output example:
Please enter a number: 45
Number stored.
45
Please enter a number: 54
Number stored.
45 54
Please enter a number: 33
Number stored.
45 54 33
etc.
I've been working on this project for days, re-read the book chapter multiple times (unfortunately, the book doesn't have this type of problem as an example to steer you in the relatively general direction) and am proud that I've gotten this far. My problems are 1) I can only get one item number to input rather than a running list of the 5 values, 2) I can't figure out how to check for duplicate numbers. Any help is appreciated.
My code is as follows:
import java.util.Scanner; // program uses class Scanner
public class Array
 public static void main( String args[] )
 // create Scanner to obtain input from command window
 Scanner input = new Scanner( System.in);
 // declare variables
 int array[] = new int[ 5 ]; // declare array named array
 int inputNumbers = 0; // numbers entered
 while( inputNumbers < array.length )
 // prompt for user to input a number
 System.out.print( "Please enter a number: " );
 int numberInput = input.nextInt();
 // validate the input
 if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
 System.out.println("Number stored.");
 else
 System.out.println("Invalid number. Please enter a number within range.");
 // checks to see if this number already exists
 boolean number = false;
 // display array values
 for ( int counter = 0; counter < array.length; counter++ )
 array[ counter ] = numberInput;
 // display array values
 System.out.printf( "%d\n", array[ inputNumbers ] );
 // increment number of entered numbers
 inputNumbers++;
} // end close Array

Yikes, there is a much better way to go about this that is probably within what you have already learned, but since you are a student and this is how you started, let's just concentrate on fixing what you got.
First, as already noted by another poster, your formatting is really bad. Formatting is really important because it makes the code much more readable for you and anyone who comes along to help you or use your code. And I second that posters comment that brackets should always be used, especially for beginner programmers. Unfortunately beginner programmers often get stuck thinking that less lines of code equals better program, this is not true; even though better programmers often use far less lines of code.
 // validate the input
 if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
 System.out.println("Number stored.");
else
 System.out.println("Invalid number. Please enter a number within range."); Note the above as you have it.
 // validate the input
 if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100)
 System.out.println("Number stored.");
 else
 System.out.println("Invalid number. Please enter a number within range."); Note how much more readable just correct indentation makes.
 // validate the input
 if (numberInput >=10 && numberInput <=100) {
 System.out.println("Number stored.");
 else {
 System.out.println("Invalid number. Please enter a number within range.");
 } Note how it should be coded for a beginner coder.
Now that it is readable, exam your code and think about what you are doing here. Do you really want to print "Number Stored" before you checked to ensure it is not a dupe? That could lead to some really confused and frustrated users, and since the main user of your program will be your teacher, that could be unhealthy for your GPA.
Since I am not here to do your homework for you, I will just give you some advice, you only need one if statement to do this correctly, you must drop the else and fix the if. I tell you this, because as a former educator i know the first thing running through beginners minds in this situation is to just make the if statement empty, but this is a big no no and even if you do trick it into working your teacher will not be fooled nor impressed and again your GPA will suffer.
As for the rest, you do need a for loop inside your while loop, but not where or how you have it. Inside the while loop the for loop should be used for checking for dupes, not for overwriting every entry in the array as you currently have it set up to do. And certainly not for printing every element of the array each time a new element is added as your comments lead me to suspect you were trying to do, that would get real annoying really fast again resulting in abuse of your GPA. Printing the array should be in its own for loop after the while loop, or even better in its own method.
As for how to check for dupes, well, you obviously at least somewhat understand loops and if statements, thus you have all the tools needed, so where is the problem?

Need help with easy script for open / close app and move files

Hi,
I'm not a scripter.. never done anything special perhaps more complicated than /shutdown -s on cmd..
I actually learned ASCII C language on university but never used it in real.
I'm trying to create a basic script that perhaps you could help me or guide me how to do it..
The commands are
1) Close a running app (end task it or force kill it, I prefer end task it)
2) delete files from x location
3) run .exe app from y location
4) close that running app
5) move files from z to y
Perhaps adding few "wait few seconds" commands in between each, so the apps will launch successfully..
My first question will be whats the easiest script language to do that?
I tried VBScript but couldn't find commands for open or close apps.. also for controlling files..
And what commands can do that? I could google them up for better understanding no need for rough guide
And lastly, does it too hard? If it takes more than hour to make it (learn and process) than it ain't worth it..
Thanks alot ahead!
Jordan.

hmm 2 questions:
1) taskkill.exe causing me access deny error.. I used "taskkill.exe /IM softwarename.exe"
how do I get permission or something to fix that?
2) on the "move" command..
First, its a "copy" instead.. but I easily figured that out..
but more important is that I want to copy a folder.. with unknown list of way too long files and sub folders..
and all I see is ability to move a file..
Is this possible?
Thanks
