Need help with a numbers formula

Hi I am looking for the formula in numbers to do the following apologies if I havn't explained this properly:
if I x is greater than y subtract z
eg
if A2 is greater than 7 subtract 1..... so if A2 was 9 B2 would be 8 but if A2 was 6 B2 would be 6

Hi tick,
As I read your statement, x is the numer in column A, x is a constant placed either in the formula or in a separate cell (not A or B), and z is the result in column B.
This example uses the constant 7, placed in a separate table:
Formula in column B:
=IF(A>Table 2::$A$2,A-1,A)
Here, the constant is written into the formula:
Formula in column B:
=IF(A>7,A-1,A)

Barry

  • Help with difficult numbers formula

    I need help with a formula im trying to create in numbers on my iPad. I'll try to explaine the best I can and attach images to help.
    Ive created a spreadsheet to do rotas for work. Currently it calculates the shifts each person does and adds it to the total for that persons week in the end column and the total for the day in the bottom row. If the shift is equal to or more than 8 hours long then an hour needs to be deducted as they have a lunch hour that is unpaid for. This is currently done by a hidden row under each persons row that calculates the shift for that person on that day with the given conditions. Also is a 'H' (for holiday), 'RDO' (for requested day off) or 'X' (for unable to work this day) is placed in any of the cells the formular will return value 0. What I am wanting to do is to get rid of all the hidden rows and still have the total calculated in the end column for that person and the day in the bottom row. Is there a way of doing this without having to copy the formula in the hidden cell and adding them in series for each day to achieve the total? I hope this makes sense. Ive attached images to try and help with the explanation.
    Thanks in advance

    Hi Gary,
    I believe that it is generally good practice to choose several smaller formulas over large and complex ones. As you noted in your question you could add your daily IF()s to get the result you want but it would be an unwieldy construction. I also suspect that the daily hours for each employee could be useful info.
    I hope things are working out for you.

  • I need help with creating some formulas

    I'm not sure if anyone around here can help me, but I'm trying to create a Numbers document and need some help with creating a formula/function.
    I have a column of amounts and I would like to create a formula which deducts a percentage (11.9%) and puts the result in another column.
    If anyone can help me, it would be greatly appreciated.

    Here is an example that shows one way to do this:
    The original data is in column A.  In column B we will store formulas to adjust the amounts:
    1) select the cell where you want to formula (in this case cell B2)
    2) Type the "=" (equal sign):
    3) click cell A2:
    4) now type the rest of the formula which is: "*(100-11.9)/100"  that is asterisk, then open parenthesis, 100 minus eleven point nine close parenthesis forward slash  one hundred
    The Asterisk is the multiply operator  (times) and the forward slash is the division operator (divide)
    now hit return.  select cell B2 and hover the cursor over the bottom edge of the cell:
    drag the little yellow dot down to "fill" the formula down as needed.

  • Need help with a Numbers (ISBLANK) formula

    Having trouble with a cell formula that tests 2 cells for blank condition.
    I want to sum 2 cells only if they are BOTH blank.  (Trying to eliminate the
    "0" in the sum cell if both test cells are blank.)
    I've tried using ISBLANK, AND, IF functions but no success.
    Would appreciate your help on this. Thank you.

    Hi there.
    Perhaps due to my bad english, I could not understand your question, but I want to help, anyway.
    The question is: why would you want to sum two blank cells? Or what you want is to sum two cells IF two different cells are blank?

  • I need help with a complex formula

    I am a current student attempting to keep track of requirements for college along with my courses that I am taking. I have two tables. I am trying to put an X in Table2:A2 if the data from Table2:B2 AND Table2:C2 matches Table1:SUBJ AND Table1:CRS. The match in Table1 has to be in the same row since there are duplicates. So a check mark will appear in Table2 once I've taken the class and it shows up in Table1. Does anyone have a equation that would make this work?
    Here's a link so you can download the spreadsheet in Numbers '09 and fool around with it.

    My error.I was reading "The match in Table1 has to be in the same row since there are duplicates," and overgeneralizing. I was wondering about the "complex formula" part of the request.
    Here's another go—with a 'complex' formula, and a couple of 'helper columns.'
    Column D on both tables contains a simple formula that combines the subject and course number into a single string.
    =B&" "&C
    Table 1::Column A contains the more complex formula:
    =IFERROR(IF(AND(MATCH(D2,Table 2 :: $D,0)>0,D2<>" "),"✓",""),"")
    IFERROR traps the error that occurs when there's no match.
    the D<>" " catches the rows where no subject and course number has been entered in the first table.
    Descriptions and further examples of the functions used are available in the iWork formulas and Functions User Guide, The guide is downloadable via the Help menu in Numbers.

  • Need help with string field formula

    Post Author: dshallah
    CA Forum: Formula
    What I am trying to accomplish:
    The report has item numbers and each item number has the
    potential to be associated with up to three u2018binsu2019. So the fields are u2018item
    numberu2019, u2018bin1, u2018bin2u2019 and u2018bin3u2019.
    I tried to write a u2018if thenu2019 statement that would only show
    records that had a value of less than 1 in each u2018binu2019 field. When I try to
    write the statement I get a message that says u2018A string is required hereu2019 and
    it highlights the number 1 in my statement. I have a feeling itu2019s because the u2018binu2019
    fields are string fields and not number fieldsu2026? So I am not sure the proper
    procedure to correct this. Thus help is needed and appreciated.
    Here is what I wrote:
    if {IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1} < 1 then
    {IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}
    What is correct way to write a statement that will show me
    the zero values in each column of bin fields?

    You must have a non-numeric value in there somewhere - up in the top left of the formula editor window, it'll show you the variables you've passed to the formula, which should help track down what's going on.
    You could try and check that the value is a number first by using something like:
    if isnull({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}) = false and isnumeric({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}) = false and then "Error - Should be a Number!"
    else
    if isnumeric({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1}) = true and tonumber({IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1})<1 then {IC_LOC_HIST.BIN_NAME_1})

  • Help with a numbers formula to call up employee schedules for a particular day / hour of day

    So my goal is to be able to use a drop-down menu on Sheet-1 with "day of week" and a 2nd one with "hour of day" to pull up a list of employees working on a particular day at a particular time.
    So far I've got Sheet-1 where the magic will happen
    Sheet 2-8 are different days of the week each displaying an employees hourly schedule and what hours of the day it corresponds with
    Here's a visual example of my thoughts:
    http://imgur.com/a/45ZZr#1
    If anyone can help point me in the right direction that woul be helpful!

    Here is another approach that takes advantage of the Numbers 3 native filtering interface.
    Have a simple data input table like this (no formulas) and set up a filter as shown:
    When the filter box is checked the list shrinks to show employees working on Monday at 10a:
    Typing new values into the filter rule boxes changes the results instantly.
    And if you have the data input table arranged as shown, you can not only filter it but you can easily view it in multiple ways.
    Here's Monday:
    The one formula in the table, in B2 copied right and down, is:
       =IF(COUNTIFS(Hours Input::$A,$A2,Hours Input::$B,$A$1,Hours Input::$C,B$1)>0,"x","")
    And here's A's schedule:
    The formula in B2, copied right and down, is:
      =IF(COUNTIFS(Hours Input::$A,$A$1,Hours Input::$B,$A2,Hours Input::$C,B$1)>0,"x","")

  • Newbie needing help with code numbers and if-else

    I'm 100% new to any kind of programming and in my 4th week of an Intro to Java class. It's also an on-line class so my helpful resources are quite limited. I have spent close to 10 hours on my class project working out P-code and the java code itself, but I'm having some difficulty because the project seems to be much more advanced that the examples in the book that appear to only be partly directly related to this assignment. I have finally come to a point where I am unable to fix the mistakes that still show up. I'm not trying to get anyone to do my assignment for me, I'm only trying to get some help on what I'm missing. I want to learn, not cheat.
    Okay, I have an assignment that, in a nutshell, is a cash register. JOptionPane prompts the user to enter a product code that represents a product with a specific price. Another box asks for the quanity then displays the cost, tax and then the total amount plus tax, formatted in dollars and cents. It then repeats until a sentinel of "999" is entered, and then another box displays the total items sold for the day, amount of merchandise sold, tax charged, and the total amount acquired for the day. If a non-valid code is entered, I should prompt the user to try again.
    I have this down to 6 errors, with one of the errors being the same error 5 times. Here are the errors:
    C:\PROGRA~1\XINOXS~1\JCREAT~1\MyProjects\Sales.java:50: 'else' without 'if'

    Question regarding skype numbers..... So i plan to buy hongkong skype number,......say for example + 852 8192 6362, and if im right , i can receive the calls on my PC /desktop, etc. But what about if im traveling , for few days to mainland china or london , will my family still be able to call the same number with appropriate county code, n will i continue to recive calls on my PC. { *Example calling me in china +8621 8192 6362 } In short, can my family call my anywhere in the world by using proper country codes, or is skype number limited to hongkong only, I travel alot, and cant change numbers frequently. Thanks....

    Hi, ajamal786, and welcome to the Community,
    Yes, your one Skype Number travels with your account regardless of wherever you are.  Such is the beauty of a Skype Number: people can call you on the number you set up, which in theory would be a local call to them depending upon the availability of numbers from which you can choose (my Skype Number exchange is a few townships away, but still a local call), and reach you on Skype.
    So, no need to change a Skype Number.

  • I need help with the numbering pages in a book file

    I have a 53 chapter book that which each chapter is its own document. It used to work great. The page numbers of each document used to continue from the last page number of the previous document. That was until today when I opened it and all the page numbers now start at one. I don't know what to do. I have checked all of the options I knew to check. Each document still has the 'automatic page numbering' option selected. I truly don't want to have to go through and manully renumber every document. It will take time I do not have. If I can get somebody's help, it would be wonderful.

    Nor do I. It sounds like everything is set correctly. You might want to try creating a new Book file and add the individaul documents into it and see if that fixes things. Also, have you tried updating the numberingfrom the menu since this started?

  • Need help with binary numbers

    hey i'm doing some things, but i need a entry of a binary coded number, i know that an hex number is written like 0xFF but how do i put a binary number in an instruction such as:
    byte b
    b="binary number"

    I see what you want to do, but you can only do this with octal and hex. With binary, you would have to do it something like this:
    byte b = Byte.parseByte("01101001", 2); // base-2

  • Need help with rounding numbers in Java

    I finally have this program to where it needs to be except for one thing. The variable "freetime" isn't showing any kind of output in the applet. The variable sum and freetime are both called at the start of the program, and have equations to figure out the output for them, but only sum shows an output. I tried using brackets as opposed to multiple parentheses. What can I do to fix this so that there is an output? I was thinking of using something to round up the result, but I can't figure it out. Can anyone help?

    public class FinalLab extends JApplet{
    String firstNum, secondNum, thirdNum, fourthNum, fifthNum;
    int personal, family, school, work, sleep, sum, freetime;
    public void init()
    String firstNum, secondNum, thirdNum, fourthNum, fifthNum;
    firstNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter total personal hours." );
    secondNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter total family hours." );
    thirdNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter total school hours." );
    fourthNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter total work hours." );
    fifthNum = JOptionPane.showInputDialog( "Enter total sleep hours." );
    personal = Integer.parseInt( firstNum );
    family = Integer.parseInt( secondNum );
    school = Integer.parseInt( thirdNum );
    work = Integer.parseInt( fourthNum );
    sleep = Integer.parseInt( fifthNum );
    sum = (personal + family + school + work + sleep);
    freetime = ((168-sum)/168)*100;

    super.paint( g );
    g.drawRect( 15, 10, 270, 20 );
    g.drawRect( 15, 35, 270, 20 );
    g.drawRect( 15, 60, 270, 20 );
    g.drawRect( 15, 85, 270, 20 );
    g.drawRect( 15, 110, 270, 20 );
    g.drawRect( 15, 135, 270, 20 );
    g.drawRect( 15, 160, 270, 20 );
    g.drawString( "Personal hours: " + personal, 25, 25);
    g.drawString( "Family hours: " + family, 25, 50);
    g.drawString( "School hours: " + school, 25, 75);
    g.drawString( "Work hours: " + work, 25, 100);
    g.drawString( "Sleep hours: " + sleep, 25, 125);
    g.drawString( "Total hours: " + sum, 25, 150);
    g.drawString( "Free time: " + freetime, 25, 175);
    }

    I am guessing that you really meant that you are seeing "Free time: 0" instead of what you said, which was that it wasn't showing any kind of output. (Your whole terminology is weird, you don't "call a variable" just for example.) If that's the case, it's because you are using integer division. You'll find that 27/168, for example, gives zero. I don't know why you are multiplying by 100 in your calculation and doing the division, perhaps you meant to return the free time as a percentage (in which case your output should say that), but since you are doing that you could do it this way:((168-sum)*100/168)Then you are doing 2700/168, which produces a reasonable number.
