Lock cell formula Please Help

Hello
I have been setting up prices for a new business in the latest version of numbers. I was having no luck on iCloud making a formula that linked sheets by clicking cells I had to put each one in individually. I then downloaded it to my macbook and got that to work (any help there would be great but not essential) I managed to do my formulas fine once it was on my hard drive but there is one formula which is a combination of 2 sheets. The formula works fine which is in sheet 2. However, in sheet 1 everything is A-Z and if the formula for example is regarding cel B2, if i insert a new row and that cell then becomes C2 my formula is messed up. I have tried using the preserve tick boxes and manually insert the $ but it is not locking it. I want the cell to know that if I move cell B2 anywhere it still keeps that information.
Here is the actual formula
=SUM($Price $'Sugar)'÷$Price Per $'Sugar')×$B$6
Price = cell B2 in Sheet 1
Price per = B2 in sheet 2
I have tried with and without $
Please help I am trying to get a business plan together and the last thing I want is to change something without realising it has altered the formula.
Thanks in advance

Hi Egor,
It would be clearer if you turned off "Use header names as labels". Even so each cell needs a column and a row designation.
Price = cell B2 in Sheet 1,  Price per = B2 in sheet 2
These statements cannot be true.
That said, there are some things that are clear.
If you are dividing one value by another you do not need the SUM() function. As far as I can tell you are not adding anything.
There is an extra ")" in your formula.
Whats with the quotes around 'Sugar'?
What does your formula look like without the "Use header names as labels" checked?

    You apparently aren't listening or don't understand English well enough to understand the responses you're getting.
    An unlocked iPhone will remain unlocked. Updating a legitimately unlocked phone does NOT affect the locked/unlocked status.
    It will only lock IF the phone was hacked or jailbroken to unlock it.

  • Adding & Copying Formulas Please help

    Hi
    I am trying to put a formula in a cell and then use that same formula in a different cell without having to retype in the formula using the different cell block numbers and letters. Example
    I have this formula
    =D4+E4-F4
    and I want to copy it down to the other cells without retyping it
    =D6+E6-F6
    =D8+E8-F8
    and so on...
    Please help I know it can be done.
    Thanks

    Select the cell, copy, select the destination(s), paste. That is one of several ways to copy cells/formulas. Another way is to select the cell and drag down on the circle in the lower right of the selection box. However, it looks like you are only copying your formula to even numbered rows so that second method won't work for you.

  • Formula Variables for Report Painter- Syntac error in formula, Please Help!

    Dear Experts,
    I'm creating the report where I need to calculate annualized P&L. The formula is as follows : (P&L account/Period(variable ))12*
    I need to capture the From_period, which is entered by the user on the selection screen when running the report and use it as a variable in the formula above. Example: If User insert From Period 3, then the formula should be *P&L accoun / 3 * 12*
    I have tried so many different way but nothing seems to work. one of the ways i tried was:
    In the general selection Im using set variable 6P-S-PERIOVB.CCSS for period which consists of variable V_PERIO and B_PERIO.
    So Im trying to create a folowing formula:
    IF 1 >= u2018PER_FRu2019 AND 1 <= u2018PER_TOu2019 THEN 1 ELSE 16
    IF 2 >= u2018PER_FRu2019 AND 2 <= u2018PER_TOu2019 THEN 1 ELSE 16
    Unfortunately I keep getting Syntac error in formula. Please help me I'm really desperate to solve this issue after 5 days of unlucky research.
    Thank you in advance
    Regards
    Ernesta

    Thank you all for your help. The issue was that the variable was assigned to the different table as the library. After I changed it, it worked fine.

  • Somehow lock my ipod, please help

    It all started when I was taking a walk the other day and I don't have a holder for it so I put it in the hold position so that the volume wouldn't go all over the place in my pocket. I try to press the button and nothing happen and when I try to switch it back to unhold postion, I notice a pad lock symbol on my ipod on the left top corner. when i plug it to my computer the time is corsponding yet the pad lock is still there, try the 5 Rs still nothing, even try to restore it, but when it get the language screen on the ipod I can't click to english, the button won't work then it fade out, yet i still see the pad lock. plus everytime I plug my ipod to my computer, it will charge but I can't connect to the internet as it is charging, i ahve to wait till it's done and reset my computer to get to the internet. please anybody please help

    I assume you have tried everything here?
    iPod: Cannot restore or update in iTunes with error 1415, 1417, 1418, 1428, 1429, 1430, 1436, or 1439
    It could be an indication or a damaged or dying hard drive.  I would recommend doing a disk diagnostic on the iPod's HD using the instructions given by turingtest2 in this older thread.  He also covers what the resulting numbers indicate.

  • Dont remember passcode and have restored phone but phone still locked...please help. needing unlocked

    i put a passcode on phone...now iphone is locked...i dont remember code..i have restored pone on itunes...but still comes up with unlock wit passcode.....please need help unlocking......but just also found out seriel number has been replaced. as buy of a friend and they dont have seriel number.....please help

    I'm not sure how the serial number could have been replaced. Do you have access to any serial number at all? I would recommend calling Apple Support and explaining the problem, but you'll need the serial number to tell them so they can help you. It's possible that the original serial number on the phone is correct, so check on the back of the iPhone where the number can usually be found. If not, and you've synced your phone to iTunes, look on iTunes for the number. If you still can't find it, call Apple Support and explain the situation to them (tap on "emergency call" in the lower left screen below the keypad when you turn your phone on) and call Apple. Check this page for the number depending on where you live:

  • Ipad is locked- unable to turn off/on - Message "iCloud Backup unable to access  account" unable to access settings. Totally locked up.  Please help

    I am unable to turn off/on - Message "iCloud Backup unable to access  account" unable to access settings. Totally locked up.  Please help

    Have you tried a reset ? Press and hold both the sleep and home buttons for about 10 to 15 seconds (ignore the red slider if it appears), after which the Apple logo should appear - you won't lose any content, it's the iPad equivalent of a reboot.

  • WRT 160 N v3 locking up (wired) please help!!

    I"m starting to get very frustrated with what is going on with my router.....
    Info:
    Comcast: 32meg download , 8meg upload ... tested on speedtest.net
    I have a PC with windows 7, a HP printer, and a PS3 that are connected by etherthernet cable (wired)
    occasionally I have an android phone connect via wifi (wpa2)
    Problem:
    I have had this router for over a year with no problems and actually had a laptop and a 2nd ps3 (both wireless) that use to access this network by an old roomate.
    About a month ago.... the router randommly decides to slow down... reducing my speed to 1-2meg download and 1 meg upload.
    So far the only way I can correct this is to unplug the router and plug it back in so it resets.... this fixes it from anywhere to 1 hour to 1-2 days. Than it bogs down to 1 meg.
    Other info:
    I have not made any changes in my router for over a year, untill two weeks ago when this problem started I downloaded new firmware.  Didn't help anything.
    Also my speeds are at 32meg download, 8 meg upload when wired directly to comcast's modem. Actually had 2 different service people come out here to test everything (on their side) which leaves me to my wrt160n.... ugh, this modem was so perfect for what I needed and now it's broke.....Please help if you can, I would like to try all options before I purchase a new one.
    I also tried: total reset(start from scratch), release and renew IP, etc.. etc... How can this be happening when hard wired?
    All help would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

    when you connect your com to  the modem the speed got to be faster
    because your are getting direct connection with the modem.
    when you use the router the speed gets slow because it handles multiple devices at the same time
    however as you mentioned that it is  reducing your speed to 1-2meg download and 1 meg upload.
    that seems to be really bad .try to hard reset the router for 1 minute then reconfigure your router from the scratch
    after that upgrade the firmware on the router and power cycle the entire network.and set the wireless security as WPA2 personal that would give you good speed on the wireless computers. also try to reduced the MTU to 1364....
    once you are done with these troubleshooting then  you would Definitely get the better speed .

  • Locked disk. Please Help

    I really got myself into a situation here. Following an online guide, I attempted to do a clean install of Lion. From the Lion install App I retrieved the Install.dmg file and copied it onto a USB thumb drive. I erased the main harddrive using the disk utility and rebooted. Upon reboot, I am immediately brought to a Mac OS X Utilities dialog box. There are 4 options, one of which is Reinstall Max OS X. When I attempt to install the OS, the disk drive is grayed out and reads as locked. I am not able to reinstall the OS!!
    Any help please!!
    Thank you

    You should see if it does the same thing when you boot to the Restore partition (Command R at boot) and also try booting to the USB thumb drive by holding Option at the startup and choosing your external USB thumb drive.

    Thanks Indeed

    hhhh your right! I've turned crazy because of whats happening to my iPhone!

  • Locked out! PLEASE HELP!

    Any help would be appreciated greatly! To start, I woke my computer screensaver and it prompted me
    with the login screen, as usual. However, when I typed in my password, the login screen shook as if it
    were wrong. Thinking I may have typed it wrong, I typedit in again...and again...and again....and again.
    Much to my dismay, it was not accepting my password. I hadn't changed it or fiddled with any of the settings
    prior to this happening. So, thinking it might be confused, I held down the power button and shut it off. Rebooting it, I was prompted again with the login. This time, it no longer showed my username. Just two blank fields. I typed in my user name, which I know as well, and my password. Still that littled prompt screen shakes in refusal. Now I am not a mac expert and I only know enough to just barely get by if problems come up. Knowing I am ignorant as to how to go about fixing this, I used my sister's computer to look around for answers. I found out I could use the mac OS X installation disk to try and reset the password.
    This ended in defeat as well.
    I clicked on my hard drive, selected my user in the dropdown and typed in the password (the same one I've always used. (Maybe that's the problem?) Everything seemed fine and I rebooted to see if the installation disk had fixed the problem. I ran into the two blank fields again. Nothing I typed in, all passwords I would ever use and different ways of typing my name, and they still refused the info I typed in.
    Booting up on the installation disk again, thinking I could try and change the password again, I was met with another horror: the dropdown said there were no users on my disk to choose from. This is where DiskWarrior comes in. I owe this software everything! I used it and found that my data was fine. I even moved my important files off onto an external hard drive just to be safe. While in there, I could even see that my user was completely intact.
    Still, even after trying to rebuild my directory with disk warrior, repairing my disk and permissions with the installation disk, all of which showed problems with my disk and fixed them, I am completely locked out of my computer. I called apple support and tgey said they could try and diagnos it over the phone or I could send it in to them. Mind you, no-one I spoke to knew what the problem was, let alone having heard of it. I'm a little low on cash and I'm not sure I want to pay to have my computer looked at only to find that they don't know what to do. (My computer us almost four years old. It's a tough little ****, having gone through a lot in my care, and it's out of warrentee, meaning the cost of diagnosis would not be covered by apple.)
    I need to know several things:
    1. Has anyone had this problem and solved it? If so, how dud you fix it?
    2. Apple seems to think it's some form of hard drive failure and suggested an archival restore or something, where the computer would reinstall its os without affecting my personal data. Chillingly, they said if that doesn't work, they recomend EARSING THE HARD DRIVE COMPLETELT. That's the last step I ever wish to take, but do you think the archival restore or whatever it's called will solve it?
    3. I did some research on the net, driven to find some way of fixing it at home, and my problem might have something to do with my Keychain. Now not being able to even log in to my computer, is there somehow a wat to access the keychain and alter/fix/erase the login info there?
    4. On the matter of the keychain, several people on the internet have suggested a solution on how to change or bypass the keychain by starting up the computer in single user mode and using programming code. I stress again: I am NOT very good with computers. I'm scared to death that I will do something wrong and mess up my entire computer. Even so, would you recommend I do this? Does my ptoblem sound like It has anything to do with the keychain?
    Thank you in advance. I really hope someone can help or at least give me a clear path to start on.
    Notes:
    My computer is 13" Macbook running Tiger version 10.4.1
    My computer also had a great fall as I stumbled over my cat and ever since, if I tried to lift the laptop While it is on it would shut off or restart. Other than that, my computer worked just fine. But getting it in to have that checked and fixed was on my to do list, but then this happens. Is there a possible connection?

    (My computer us almost four years old. It's a tough little ****, having gone through a lot in my care, and it's out of warrentee, meaning the cost of diagnosis would not be covered by apple.)
    Last I heard, there was "No Charge" for a genius appointment at the Apple Store. Repairing it is something else completely, but I believe they will take 15 minutes to do what they can.
