Increasing percentage formula, rounding up in Numbers '09

Having a hard time with numbers formulas... I need to increase a sum by 9%, rounding up. I have this formula: =roundup(81.09,0) but I know I am missing something.
Anyone? Bueller? Thanks so much!!
**blip**

ROUNDUP(81.09,0) will round 81.09 to the nearest higher whole number = 82.
To increase a number by 9%, you multiply by (1+9%) or 1.09.
81*1.09=88.29
If you want to round it up to a whole number then it would be ROUNDUP(81*1.09,0) = 89

Please can you help my Register of names... I want a formula that simply adds numbers in a horizontal row of cells that increase as I add them. Thanks..

Please can you help my Register of names... I want a formula that simply adds numbers in a horizontal row of cells that increase as I add them. It can not be a range of selected cells because as I add new cells they are not in the range. Thanks..

Hi Dave,
Any formula that references its own row will return the error message you see unless it is in a Header column.
Convert columns B, C and D to Header Columns, and Jerry's formula will work just fine:
One caution, though—multiple header columns are a known factor in slowing Numbers down as the table gets larger. You can avoid adding header columns by specifying a 'fixed' range of cells from wich to get the sum and count values in C2 and D2.
Make sure the range includes at least one 'extra' column. As more runs are added, add columns by inserting them before this 'extra column. If the new columns are inside the range specified in the formula, Numbers will adjust the formula to add the new columns. If they are outside the range, you will need to edit the formulas yourself.
Note revised formula:
To add four more runs, click on any cell in column L, then press option-left arrow four times to insert four new columns. Note the change in the formula:
The last column is always included in the formula, but never gets counted (or summed) because its content is interpreted as a Text value, not a number.
Note: Except for the change formulas and added columns, this is your original table, with one Header row and one Header column.

Need to create a percentage formula

OK I am trying to create a percentage formula for the following.
B8 is 638.00 and C8 is 731.00 I want the result to tell me what the % is -/+
I am not getting how to create this formula. I am new to this.

Hi kat,
"In 2012 the town added a postion and the cost was 1500.00 (b7) This position did not exist in 2011 (c7). This resulted in a 100% increase to the budget."
Wrong.
An increase from zero budget to a budget of any amount cannot be expressed as a percent increase.
Any increase expressed as a percentage is expressed as a percentage of the starting amount.
Suppose the budget for this position for 2011 was 750.00.
100% of that amount is 750.00.
A 100% increase from the 2011 budget would then be the original budget (750.00) plus 100% of the original budget (750.00), and the new budget would be 1500.00.
But the 2011 budget for this position was 0.00.
100% of nothing is nothing.
A 100% increase is nothing plus nothing.
A 200% increase is nothing plus (nothing x 2).
A 1000% increase is nothing plus (nothing x 10)
"HMMM I am not sure I understand what you mean by "describe what you got"?"
I think a clearer expression would be "show how you got this result (235%). Copy the formula and paste it into your message. show the values that were in each of the cells referenced in the formula." Like Wayne, I'm mystified by this result.
"now that I know that 0 is not a defined value and is illegal."
0 is defined, and has been for centuries. 0 is not illegal. But division by 0 IS 'illegal' in the sense that it is not permitted in mathematics because its result is undefined. Simple example:
I have three halloween treats left in the bowl. Zero ( 0 ) children come to my door calling 'trick or treat.' If I share the treats equally among the children, how many must I give to each child so that I have no treats left over?
"I will just put in 100% in the cell and move on to other things."
Ummm... 'I don't understand this, so I'll just pull a number that 'looks right to me' out of the air, plug it in, and move on." How does putting a wrong value into your budget make the budget turn out right?
To your next topic/question:
" I am going to want this set up like so
b15-c15 goes into cell d15
b16-c16 goes into cell d16"
This works pretty much exactly as you've written it.
In D15, enter: =B15-C15
Grab the Fill control handle (small circle) and drag down two rows to fill the formula into D16 and D17.
Results will appear in each cell as the formula is filled into that cell.

Need Help figuring out a percentage formula

Hi, I have a simple percentage formula that i' struggling to figure out.
I need a formula to work out what A7 is as a percentage of the figure in B4. So in other words what 54.66% of £1998.14 is. Does anyone know how to do this?
I need to use the percentage in A7 as part of the formula as the percentage is updated automatically when other values are changed.
The screenshot is below and a link to the screenshot is here in case yo can't see it: https://www.dropbox.com/s/2ji7qdxmh4ymkby/Screen%20shot%202014-10-04%20at%2012.2 2.34.jpg?dl=0

Crosstab Percentage Formula

I am trying to calculate percentage in a Crosstab. But I am getting wrong results. Here is the desired report results
...........................ACTUAL.......TARGET.....PERCENTAGE
North East .........100.................80.............25%
South East.........200.................120 ..........67%
West.................200 .................180...........11%
Central.............200...................250.......... -20%
Here is the formula for Percentage. This formula gives wrong results in Crosstabs. But gives correct results if used in a Sub-Report or main report. It has Percentage Difference calculation.
((sum({@Actual},) - sum({@Target},)) / sum({@Target},REGION}))*100

DebiHerbert,
My issue is creating a difference percentage formula using summary columns and placing it as a third column.
In the CrossTab, Region is added to the row (as a group), the first Summary Column is ACTUAL and second one is TARGET. I just added these two columns to the summary using CrossTab Expert. I want to calculate the Percentage as a third column. The percentage formula I need to use is SUM(ACTUAL-TARGET)/SUM(TARGET) for each region.
I tried playing with the formulae like I mentioned above. I tried different combinations like aggregation, without SUM, Changing the Summary to Percentage etc.. But I got wrong percentage values in all cases. Please let me know if you need any more information on this.
Thanks!

Formula rounding to nearest whole number

Hello,
I have created the following formula ( Metrics."# of Leads Resulting in Won Opportunity"*100 /Metrics."# of Leads" ) and displayed the results in percentage but it looks to round to the nearest whole number does anyone know why this might happen. Also i am using 2dp in the results i am hoping to get the actual result rounded to 2dp and not the nearest whole number.

Hi !
I think that if you add the ROUND function, this will work... :
ROUND(Metrics."# of Leads Resulting in Won Opportunity"*100 /Metrics."# of Leads", 2)
Hope this will help, feel free to ask more !

Formula rounding (?)

CA Forum: Formula
I'm not even sure if this is the problem, but I can only assume it is....
Here's my formulas:Main (the one whose result I can't get right): truncate({@key_pct_avg}\{@distinctcount}, 4) - note, i just added the truncate to try working out the rounding, it didn't help.@key_pct_avg = (Sum ({Sheet1_.KEYED ERRORS}, {Sheet1_.name}) / (Sum ({Sheet1_.KEYED Records}, {Sheet1_.name})))*100@distinctcount = distinctcount({@month})@month= if month({Sheet1_.DATE})=8 then "August" elseif month({Sheet1_.DATE})=9 then "September" elseif month({Sheet1_.DATE})=10 then "October" elseif month({Sheet1_.DATE})=11 then "November" elseif month({Sheet1_.DATE})=12 then "December"
Since my record selection only includes August - lastfullmonth, the @distinctcount come to "2".The value for ONE @key_pct_avg is 2.89.When you work out the formula it would be 2.89\2 = 1.445 The results I get from Crystal is 1.00. Now, there are other values for the formula throughout the report... But Crystal always gives a rounded number with no decimal values! Help!

Easy enough.
In CR, the \ is different from / when it comes to calculations.
\ = integer divide. Divide the numbers and truncate the quotient to an integer.
/ = do the division and display the entire quotient including decimals.
In your formula truncate({@key_pct_avg}\{@distinctcount}, 4) you are asking it to give the quotient as an integer value with no decimals.
2.89\2 = 1.445 and truncating the quotient to an integer the result is 1. Change the division operator to / and it should solve your problem.
2.89/2 = 1.445
change the formula to: {@key_pct_avg}/{@distinctcount}

How do calculate the average of a group of percentages excluding percentages listed as zero on Numbers?

Hey all
This is driving me crazy!
I need to calculate the average of a group of percentages excluding cells listed as '0%'.
Please see screen print below, numbers highlighted need to be averaged, when the table is filled out correctly some will remain '0%' whilst others will have a value, I want the average to be calculated only using numbers with a value greater than '0'.
FYI I am looking for the result to display in 'X2'
Thanks :-)

you can use the averageif() function. Here is a simple example to get you started:
In this example the average if() function averages values that are non-zero
C2=AVERAGEIF(A1:E1,"<>0",A1:E1)
this is shorthand for select cell C2, then type (or copy and paste from here) the formula:
=AVERAGEIF(A1:E1,"<>0",A1:E1)

Bex Formula Rounding Up Values!

Hi Guys,
I am doing a calculation in BEx where I divide items by days (items%Adays) but the result value is 4.77 on a calculator but Bex rounds up to 4.0! All my results differ by the fraction so I need to the 4.77 to come up else all columns will be 4.0!
In properties I increased the decimal places to 2 d.p for the results formula field but it didnt work!
Anyone have any ideas?
Thanks
DV

Depesh,
This is the same as posted by AVR but contains the procedure also...
Check the following ,
have you defined the decimal places in the KF properties . Right click on KF and select properties , the decimal places will be a dropdown.
Set the same to the first value in the dropdown and then execute your query , come back with the results.

Rounding question in Numbers

Why does =ROUND(16.9*2.35,2) = 39.71 instead of 39.72?

It is not a bug. I'll try to explain once again for you and whoever else might have the same question.
Numbers follows the IEEE standard for floating point math. Computers do math in base-2 (binary) with only a set number of digits of precision, not in base-10 with infinite precision like you would do on a piece of paper. If a base-10 number cannot be exactly represented in base-2 with a set number of digits, it gets rounded. Guess what that does? It creates small errors. Therefore, floating point math calculations may have small errors when compared to doing the same calcuation on a piece of paper using base-10 numbers. The important thing is that as long as the standard is followed, the same calculation will always give the same result. Consistency is very important with standards
The difference between Excel and Numbers:
Later versions of Excel "optimize" the results of the floating point math to better fit customer expectations. In other words, Excel tries to remove those small errors. Numbers does not, it follows the standard exactly. Earlier version of Excel ('95 and earlier) did not "optimize", they followed the standard.
In your example, the Excel result is what you as the customer expected. The Numbers result is correct in accordance with the standard but it does not meet your expectations. Personally, these little errors bother me too but I do not consider the result to be "wrong" and it is certainly not a bug.
What can go wrong with "optimization":
Try these two formulas in both Excel and Numbers
=(4/3-1)*3-1
and the exact same thing with a set of parentheses around it
=((4/3-1)*3-1)
In Numbers you get the same IEEE standard result for both: -2.22044604925031E-16
In Excel the first one results in 0 while the second is what Numbers gave. Oops, by straying from the standard and trying to "optimize" the results, Excel is inconsistent with itself.
Try =(1+5/2^52)-1 in Excel
You would expect the result to be =5/2^52 which is 1.11E-15 but what Excel gives you is a big fat zero because the correct result got "optimized" away. It gives the WRONG answer. It is wrong according to your paper and pencil calculation and wrong in accordance with the standard.
Numbers gives 1.11E-15 which is the correct result.
And yet another:
The result of =0.1-0.3+0.2 should be zero, right.
In Numbers, the result due to floating point error = 2.776E-17. This is correct in accordance with the standard but not what you would get on paper.
In Excel the result is zero, as you would have expected.
Now try =1/(0.1-0.3+0.2). Should be infinity in Excel, right? Oops, it's not, it is 3.6E16, same as in Numbers. Excel is once again inconsistent with itself.
Bottom line: when the standard is not followed, you don't know what to expect.
I don't know what Apple will choose to do in new versions of Numbers. They may try to "optimize" like Excel (but consistently I would hope) because there are many more cases of simple calculations giving what appear to be strange answers than there are cases of small numbers getting "optimized" to zero. I would support the change.

How to copy and paste formulas between documents in numbers 3.0?

I am unable to copy and paste formulas between 2 documents in numbers 3.0?

Hi Hans,
I can get a reference error here if the destination table does not have that range available while the source table does.
Are you sure your desination table has exactly the same structure and dimensions as your source table?
If it does, copy/paste via the Formula Editor should work. It works reliably here.
Also the formula in your latest post looks as if it might be corrupted-- lots of extra spaces (it seems). Did your orginal formula have those?
To sort this out, suggest turning off 'Use header names as labels' in Preferences.
If you end up with a formula in a cell as just Text (as Ian describes that's what happens when you copy from Numbers 2) you can convert that text to a formula by double-clicking the cell, clicking just before the text so that the insertion point appears in front of it and typing =. That activates the Formula Editor with the formula in it, which you can accept by clicking the green checkmark or hitting return.

HT3354 How do i create a column with a percentage formula

Im really struggling creating a line of columns with different formulas.
colin

The title of your post and the text of your post sound like two different questions. One is about creating a column of percentages and the other is about a "line of columns with different formulas". Neither gives enough information about the problem for anyone to provide a good answer, unless we guess at what you are asking. Here is my guess:
If B2 has a number in it and C2 has the formula =B2*5%, C2 will be 5% of B2. If you copy/paste or fill-down that formula to the rest of the column, C3 will be 5% of B3, C4 will be 5% of B4, etc.
I have no idea what "a line of columns with different formulas" means so I'm not going to hazard a guess.

How do I take a percentage from a number in Numbers

Hi All,
Im new to this and normally i would just youtube my question but i can't find it, i think.
But basically I'm sending an invoice and some products have Vat added on and some don't, so I'm trying to find a formula that will add 20% on to three prices then add the to the total at the bottom like shown in my image below.
I have done a formal but it doesn't work of course.
Oh and i just remembered its in Pages I'm doing the formula not in numbers but I guess the table part is the same?
Thank you in advance for your help with this formula
NISA

For this particular invoice, I think this formula will do what you want:
=20%*(C2+C3+C8)
Where the * is the multiplication sign.

Formula auditing tools in Numbers ´09?

Are there any formula auditing tools/functions in Numbers ´09?
In MS Excel, this features are of great help!

Only the automatic syntax checking and error messages on execution, so far as I know. Perhaps a fuller description of what you expect from these tools/functions would assist responders in finding suggestions on how to accomplish similar results.

Importing SUMPRODUCT formula from XL into Numbers

Hello all,
I am having some challenges converting a SUMPRODUCT function from Excel/LibreOffice. After browsing the support postings, it seemed as if rewriting the formula as a COUNTIF(S) or SUMIF(S) function could get the job done, but I haven't met with success going those routes.
The file I'm working with is difficult for me to explain, so I have posted a small example here:
https://www.iwork.com/document/?d=Reso_book.numbers&a=p205658906
The basic application of the file is a reservation book; the formulas in question are in cells D5-L13 on the Availability sheet. They are still in their original, non-Numbers syntax.
The Availability sheet would effectively look up a table number from the Reservation sheet and return "1" if booked, "0" if not, or "-1" if doubled.
In the posted file, D5-G5 would return 1, while H5-L5 would return 0.
If anyone would be willing to take a look, I'd greatly appreciate any advice or insight for how to rework these formulas.

I never use excel but something seems to be wrong in your original formula.
=1-SUMPRODUCT((Reservation::Table 1::$D$2:$D$10<=D$4)*(Reservation::Table 1::$E$2:$E$10>=D$4)*(Reservation::Table 1::$F$2:$F$10=$B5))
Given what I read in several pages found thru Google, the last component of your formula :
(Reservation::Table 1::$F$2:$F$10=$B5)
must not be a condition
In fact, the embedded condition appears as dropped by the formula parser.
When I reproduced you document in LibreOffice, removing the component =$B5 in the last component changes nothing.
So I built the Numbers document without it (Table YK).
In the edited table, the formula in D5 is :
=1-SUMIFS((Reservation::Table 1::$F$2:$F$10),Reservation::Table 1::$D$2:$D$10,"<="&D$4,Reservation::Table 1::$E$2:$E$10,">="&D$4)
Apply FillDown then Fill_to_right.
I'm not sure that it's what you need but it return the same values than the originla ones in LibreOffice.
