Need formula assistance

I need assistance converting a formula field from Crystal Reports to a logical column in Answers.
The current formula is:
(90 - (trunc(sysdate)- greatest(NVL(trunc(logondatetime),to_date('01/01/1980','mm/dd/yyyy')), trunc(createdate), trunc(modifydate))))
Thanks!

hi
use evaluate function for greatest and for difference use timestampdiff function
for greatest values.. use the following formula
evaluate('greatest(%1,%2,%3)', date1,date2,date3))
and if you want to calculate difference between dates (i.e. days), you can use.. timestampdiff(sql_tsi_day, date1, date2).
this is easy method... i hope

InDesign Newbie in need of assistance

Hi,
I hope I am in the right place.
I need to produce a book, and am looking for a bit of guidance.
The templates have been created in Photoshop. I will also need to include photos and text and am wondering I am better of (for quality purposes) adding the text and photo's in InDesign or Photoshop.
Thanks
B

ALWAYS include your version of InDesign and your OS in your post. We cannot help you if we don’t know what tools you have available. ALWAYS include some hint of your problem in your subject line. “InDesign Newbie in need of assistance” tells us nothing, since this forum is for InDesign users (noobs and otherwise) in need of assistance.
Use InDesign. If your book has more than one page, has any text in it, has anything bleeding (printing to the edge of the page), or will be printed professionally, then InDesign wins over Photoshop in a first round knock out.
Import the photos without text, then add the text in InDesign. You can place the photos with the text so you can see how to format and position the text in InDesign, then hide the text layers in the Photoshop file by right-clicking on the image in InDesign and selecting Object Layer Options.

Enter Function in the Formulas assistant - BOFC 7.5

Hello
There is a function name ENTER in the 7.5 BFC version, in the formula assistant, and I want to know what it's doing.
I've tried to find the definition in the guideline and was not able to find it.
Tx for your help
Regards
Christine

Hello,
here is what I found on SAP BFC Knowledge Base :
Symptom
What is the use of the ENTER function in the formula wizard in the category builder of BOFC?
Environment
SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (BFC) 7.0
SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (BFC) 7.5
SAP BusinessObjects Financial Consolidation (BFC) 10.0
Resolution
The Enter Function is a 'data entry' function.
For the enrichment of a category in sub-groups, this function can be found in the following situation:
TOP site has set a formula "{AC in%, FL = F99 =}} {FL = F00}
The user does not want, for the accounts that he own, to be calculated.
As the mechanics of Enrichment is to calculate an account, primarily a formula of the same site, the user overloads the formula in sub-groups to manage the items that belong to him.
Syntax:
ENTER (<data>)
Example:
ENTER (in% ) will force the current sections of the site entry.
Note:
This feature can be used alone and has only meaning in the formula of the category
Except the obvious syntax errors, I am not sure that this function is correctly implemented at the moment as after some tests I was not able to validate the category scenario (formula, after being accepted as valid, is disapearing from expression box !).

Sounds like you bought an AT&T no contract phone. You will need to contact AT&T for unlocking but they are only doing so for current and previous account holders. If you have never had service with them they will not unlock your phone.

Contact the original cellular provider, as they are the only ones that can provide unlocking.

Did you happen to remove a previously installed trial or regular copy of CS4 or a CS3 installation improperly?
"Improperly" means by any other means other than using the respective Adobe Uninstallers in Applications/ Utilities/ Adobe/ ….
For instance, if you dragged anything to the trash. That would have been improper starting with CS3. Previous versions could be trashed, but no more.
If that was the case you need to look for the CS3Clean and CS4Clean scripts on the Adobe site, download them and run them.

Numbers formula assistance needed

I'm having a problem coming up with a formula for a schedule worksheet. Every template and tutorial that I've come across so far only allows for one length of lunch break to be subtracted from the total hours worked and what I'm trying to do is subtract an hour if the shift is five hours or longer and only 30 minutes if it is not. Being new to Numbers, I'm having problems with the logic commands to get this to work. If anyone could offer some assistance it would be greatly appreciated.

it would help to see a screenshot o how your sheet is set up, but it sounds like you can just use an IF statement.
maybe like this if column A had the the hours worked:
=B2-IF(B2<5,0.5,1)</div>

DAQmx driver for DAQ 6009? Need DAQ Assistant in Block Panel palette.

Do I understand things right? The Ni USB DAQ 6009 is supported in DAQmx base and not DAQmx, or is this only true for the 6008? I need the DAQ Assistant in my LV 2009 Block Panel palette. Do I go to my Ni-DAQmx 8.8 CDs, or do I download something. Maybe I have the DAQmx base already? I'm going to search my palette and NI Max. I am also going to look at http://www.ni.com/support/daq/version_portable.htm#du. If I'm going about this all wrong, please help.
Thanks
Norm

Hi Dennis
My DAQmx Cds are 8.8. I don't have a selection for the DAQ Assistant on my block panel palette, so I'm looking to get an update for my DAQmx driver for my USB 6009 DAQ that I'll be using with my student software for LabVIEW 2009 version 9.0. I've looked at a NI document "NI-DAQmx and NI-DAQ Driver Support: Portable Devices" that was published on Jan 17, 2013. It says for Windows 7 I should be using 9.6mx, but this document make no reference to a version of LabVIEW. The date of the document is 1/17/13; maybe it is refering to only to version LabVIEW 2013. Can you help?
From what I've read I believe I need to use DAQmx and not DAQmx base, but I can't help wondering if the DAQmx base has something to do with the "NI DAQmx Device Basics" that I see on the right side of the screen when I'm in NI MAX getting ready to run the test panels. ?????
Thank you for your time

Need formula to take text from one cell, add that to a serial number with leading zeros

I'm trying to create a spreasdheet cell that simplifies creating videotape Numbers from a job name in cell and appends a serial number with leading zeros, and that would survive an export to EXCEL.
The result would look like
A Column
Job Name
B ColumnTape #
Formula needed for B
ClientName-TapeType-
ClientName-TapeType-001
=
ClientName-TapeType-
ClientName-TapeType-002
=
I've tried using a custom cell format that had the text in front of the (Integer) drag and drop, with three integers and leading zeros.
That worked, but requires recreating the custom cell format for each client and tape type.
So, I've used the formula =A2& in order to play around with different things, but haven't hit on something that adjusts for increased numbers and retains the leading zeros.
I don't mind doing a starter for the first row and then adding +1 in the formulas for the rows below.
I've done that using the custom cell formats for the first B cell and then using =Bx+1 in the following cells. It works, but I'm hoping to find something simpler or that can be copied and pasted in multiple rows on one paste.
Thanks in advance.
Suggestions much appreciated!
Ted

Ted,
This expression in B will give you the pattern I believe you are looking for:
=A&RIGHT("00"&ROW()-1, 3)

Need formula help - how do i fin duplicates in a list

I have a list of text data and want to remove duplicates. I think I know how to do it... but I've done a fair bit of searching here and elsewhere and just don't understand how to set it up.
I assume I should use the Countif function... and then compare the each cell to the entire list to determine if it is unique. Then I get a 1 or 0 result based on whether the data element recurs in the list.
Problem is the setup and syntax.... I've done a very very little bit of this but don't have a good handle... searching to this point (user guides and forums) I haven't found answer... I know the answer is out there, but I need to get solution as quickly as possible.
any help greatly appreciated.
Thanks

COUNTIF($A,A) by itself will give you a 1 if the cell contents are unique within the list, and a larger number if there are duplicates.
=IF(COUNTIF($A$1:$A2,$A2)>1,"XXXXX","")
Will leave cells in rows containing the first occurrence of a particular value in a list 'blank'* and mark rows containing subsequent occurrences of the same value with XXXXX (or whatever text is placed between the quotation marks at that position in the formula.
Results of the second formula (in column C) may be isolated using the "Show rows that match the following" in the Reorganize dialogue, and setting the condition to "Column C" is not blank

I need migration assistance

I have an old iMac (lampshade) that I want to migrate over to an Intel iMac. However, I need to run Tiger on the Intel due to a compatibility issue with one of the apps that I'm running on the current lampshade iMac.
So, what is the best way to do this? I don't want to use Migration Assistant because the new iMac has Leopard on it. I guess I basically need to clone the old computer and install it on the new Mac. Do I do this through target disk mode and then use Carbon Copy Cloner or something like that? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks, Greg

You've got some cross purpose statements. You say you want Tiger on the Intel machine so you can run certain applications, but you say you don't want to to clone because you don't want to erase the Leopard install, or...?
All the above is moot. If the intel Mac came with Leopard originally it will not run Tiger, period. If it came with Tiger originally (a few models did for a short period) it will run Tiger so reinstall the Intel version of Tiger on it because you can't migrate a PPC version onto an Intel computer. If it is a Tiger-capable computer and you want both Leopard and Tiger on it you will need to partition the drive so you can have a dual boot computer. Let us know exactly what model computer you have.
