Number of cell containing a particular month

I have a spreadsheet which contains 1,000 rows - each row has a date of birth
I would like to find out how many rows have the month of Apri 2014, May 2014, and so on.
Is there a easy way to do this?

The easiest way is to create a pivot table based on the data table.
Add the date field (column) to the Rows area and to the Values area.
Right-click one of the dates in the Rows area, and select Group... from the context menu,
Group by year and by month.

The operator " " expects a number, but cell contains a string

Error message: The operator "+ " expects a number, but cell contains a string. I imported data from a csv file. One column which I would like to sum has data in the following format 17:00
How can I convert this into numerical data that can be summed?

Hi Robert,
What does 17:00 represent? Is it a Time of Day or a Duration, or something else entirely? Would 5:00 be represented as I wrote it, or would it be 05:00?

How do I count the number of cells with a particular text in it?

I have a column with peoples name in each cell. I want to count the numbe rof times a persons name appears in the column. How do I do this? any help would be great ! thanks in advance.

Hi Evilhomer,
The function COUNTIF will do this. Here are two Tables on one sheet. Table 1 contains names in Column B.
Table 2 contains the names once only (in any order) in Column A, with a COUNTIF formula in Column B to count how many times a name occurs in Table 1.
The formula in Sheet 2, Cell B2 is:
=COUNTIF(Table 1 :: B2:B5,A2)
Enter the formula in B2 then copy down.
It is easier to create the two tables on one sheet. If you then want to move a table to another sheet, Numbers will convert the formulas to keep the references valid.
There are other ways to do what you want. Please reply if this is not what you want.

Ian.

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice

Is there any way to tell which formulas a particular cell is in, reverse look-up style? That is, is there a way to search somehow for which formulas in a sheet contain a particular cell in them without opening all of them up? If not, it would be nice.
I'm fixing a Numbers document that I use in business daily that's become overly complicated, but while I want to clear/delete a number of cells in it to clean it up, I'm not sure if those cells are being used as source for other formulas on the page. I don't have to open all my formulas one by one to see if that cell is in there, do I?! That'd be a huge amount of work if I wanted to eliminate say 10 cells to search each formula on the page to see if it is in there or watch all the cells when I delete that cell to see if the numbers change! There's got to be an easier way! Right click doesn't seem to be any help.
I don't want to damage my daily tool to make it cleaner and reorganize it. Is there really no way to do a reverse look-up of which formulas a particular cell is in?! Any time I click on a formula it highlights all the CELLS in that formula. Why can't I (or can I?) do the reverse and see all the FORMULAS that contain a particular cell?
As a Numbers document ages or gets used frequently, you can sometimes forget which cells are tied to which formulas. You just look for the results of your formulas. Would be a nice thing to be able to do. Thoughts? Work-arounds? Answers?

Answer would be no unless application provided such feature. Numbers does not as far as I know.
Note that even if you have complete list of formulae used in a table, identifying formulae referencing any given cell is not simple.
E.g., cell T20 is referenced not only in
=T20+1
but also in
=SUM(T)
=SUM(20:20)
=SUM(S19:U22)
=OFFSET(S1,19,1,1,1)
=INDIRECT("T"&(10*2))
In order to identify such formula, we have to actually evaluate it to see if it references the given cell. Especially such formula as OFFSET() and INDIRECT() may not be found by static parser because their parameters can be dynamic.
Sorry to be the bearer of bad tidings.

Run a formula if a cell contains particular data from various cells

I have a formula which checks a list of domains to see what the TLD is and then returns a renewal price based on the TLD e.g. .co.uk may return with $5.99 and .com $10.00. The formula I am using is below:
=VLOOKUP(RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)−SEARCH(".",A2)+1),$A:$B,2,FALSE)
I am now wanting to expand this formula to check additional criteria before running the above formula.
I don't know what functions to use, but I know what I'm trying to achieve, so please, humour me when it comes to make believe syntax below:
if a cell contains the data from a number of cells e.g. C$2:C$5 then run the above formula, if not return "N/A"

Hi Ian,
Thanks for your reply.
I see exactly where you're going with this, but it's not exactly what I'm after.
Perhaps I need to be a bit more clear in my explanation - my bad.
Cell A2 has a domain name e.g. example.com, example.co.uk, example.org, example.net
Cell B2 has a number of options to choose from e.g. Expire, Hosting, Backorder, Mapping
Column D2:D5 have a number of TLDs e.g. co.uk, .com, .org, .net
Column E2:E5 have the corresponding annual renewal prices for the TLDs listed in cells F2:F5
Column F2:F5 have the options than can be chosen in column B2
I only want to get the renewal price for the TLD where the option in Cell B2 is one of the options listed in cells F2:F5 and if it's not, I want it to return "N/A"

Can i count the number of Mondays in a specific month with a formula?

Hi
I am looking for a streamlined way of calculating an amount to invoice for a job that I am paid for weekly, but for which I invoice monthly, meaning that I am invoicing different amounts each month, depending on how many Mondays fall in a given month (i.e. 4 or 5).
So I am wondering if there is a function I can use to calculate the number of Mondays in a given month automatically and then I can use this value to multiply by my weekly charge to calculate the amount to invoice each month.
Thanks
Nick

Responses below apply to my earlier post.

1. What part of the formula do I need to change to do the same for other days of the week, and for other years?
No change for other years, as the full date is entered.
I haven't looked at changes necessary to the version above to show results for other days. See below for a new table that does all days.
2. Would it be possible to construct one table with the calendar for a whole year, which would generate a count for each day of the week, which I could then use as and when needed? Or would it make more sense to construct a separate table for each day of the week (as I am referring to in question 1)?
Depends what information you need.
If you need the count for only one week day, then a table showing only the count for that day of week will avoid having to search it out.
If you need the number of occurrences of each weekday in each month, then a table showing those, with or without an attached calendar, is in order.
Here's one that shows the count of each weekday for each month. It uses two formulas, derived from the earlier posts by Yvan and Jerry:
B1: =DATE($A,COLUMN()-1,1)
B2: =IF(AND(DAY(EOMONTH(B$1,0))>28,MOD(WEEKDAY(EOMONTH(B$1,0))+7-(ROW()-1),7)<(DAY( EOMONTH(B$1,0))-28)),5,4)
The formula in B1 is filled right to M1, and the cells are formatted to show only the Month and Year. Note that the cells actually contain Date and Time values, which are used in the second formula's calculations.
The formula in B2 is filled right to M2 and Down to M8.
Day names in column A are entered directly and are not used in the calculations.
The 4 digit year number is entered directly in A1. Change this number to change the year.

Check if a cell contains specific text

I am trying to do a check to see if a cell contains specific text (but may also include other text). I thought this might be accomplished with an 'if' statement. Is this possible in Numbers?

I am assuming the word "carrot" can appear multiple times within the same cell so the COUNTIF function will not work for this case.
Set up an auxiliary (second) table that is the same size as your "matrix". Each cell in this new table corresponds to a cell in your "matrix". Each of these cells will count how many times "carrot" appears in the corresponding cell of the "matrix". The formula below will count how many times the letters "carrot" appear in that exact order in a cell. In other words, "carrotstick" is also included in the count. Capitalization is not a factor. It assumes your "matrix" top left corner is cell B2 of Table 1.
Table 2 cell B2=(LEN(UPPER(Table 1 :: B2))-LEN(SUBSTITUTE(UPPER(Table 1 :: B2),UPPER($A$1),"")))/LEN($A$1)
Copy or fill that formula to the rest of the cells.
Table 2 cell A1 = carrot (the word you are looking for)
Somewhere else have a cell that sums the cells in Table 2.
The formula works by removing all instances of the word "carrot" from the string then subtracting the length of the new string from the length of the original and dividing that by the length of the word "carrot". The result is the number of times "carrot" appears in that particular string.
You could put a space before and/or after "carrot" in cell A1 to avoid counting words such as "carrotstick" but if "carrot" is the first and/or last word of the string, it will not get counted because that space will not be there in the string.

PF calculation for that particular month

Hi all
An employee PF is deducted on basic.
If an employee worked for u201Cxu201D company up to mid of the month say up to15th date (ex: 10.01.2005 joining date and 15.04.2008 is leaving from the company)
And now he joined u201Cyu201D company on 16.04.2008 and has been working for that company up to 31.12.9999 (our sap hr terminology).
My question is employee has to pay PF in both companies in that particular month April?
Thanks & Regards
MVR

Hi shyam
Thanks for ur quick responce.
if that employee has 2 PF numbers then there is no problem (if i am not wrong)
if employee has the one number there may be problem
This is my idea.
correct me if anything wrong

Count the number of mondays in a specific month

Hey guys,
do you know how I can show the number of mondays in the current month?
Thank you very much.
Marc

I hope that this one will help :
In cell $A$2 is the date used as reference.
I choose this way to start to be able to check with different dates.
In B2 is the main formula.
Don't worry, it seems to be complex but in fact it's simple.
=IF(A-(DAY(A)-1)+MID("1065432",WEEKDAY(A-(DAY(A)-1)),1)>$A$2,"",A-(DAY(A)-1)+MID ("1065432",WEEKDAY(A-(DAY(A)-1)),1))
In B3 is the complementary formula :
=IFERROR(IF(B2+7>$A$2,"",B2+7),"")
Select B3 then drag the bottom_right circular handle until B6
That's all folks!
To be fair, I must add that I used my good old tip : build the formula by small pieces then replace references to cells by the formulas embedded in these cells.
In C2, insert :
=A-(DAY(A)-1)
In D2, insert :
=WEEKDAY(C)
In E2, insert :
=MID("1065432",D,1)
in F2, insert :
=C+E
Now, I'm sure that you understand that the formula is not really complicated

SUM function resulting WRONG values when some cell contains a string

A very strange problem that can result in wrong financial calculations and big mistakes...
If we have SUM function for some range of cells and one of them is treated as text string (I mean it's number in fact but Number is sure it's text string). than SUM function calulates ALL cells except this sell silently without errors and results in wrong result.
For example we have cells and values
A B
=====
1| 15 USD
2| 0 USD
3| 37 USD
4| 1 USD
5| 3 USD
here the function SUM(B1:B5) should provide the result "56 USD"
But if cell B5 is treated as text string (it can be still displayed as "3 USD" so we don't know it's treated as text string for some reason) than SUM(B1:B5) swill answer "53 USD".
The problem is we DON'T know cell B5 is treated as text and we are fully sure that we have the correct sum of all 5 cells, in reality we see sum of 4 cells only....
I think anybody working with financial or other important data can imagine how dangerous this SUM behaviour is.... I encountered several times that when importing data from Excel or by other ways numbers are imported as text strings. So if I have a lot of cells I'm not sure if all those cells are correctly styled or some of them for some unknown reason is treated as text string.
In Microsoft Excel there is a very right solution. In MS Excel if any cell in the SUM is wrong format the SUM function simply provides error as a result. But in Numbers SUM doesn't tell us about error, it simply provides us with a wrong result!
With formal logic the way SUM works in Numbers is total idiotism. If I ask to SUM B1:B5 than I definitely ask to sum ALL 5 cells, not 4, not 3, not 6 but 5 definite cells. If Numbers can't sum those exactly those 5 cells the only answer of the function should be ERROR.
But Apple Numbers answers me some result of summing those cells that it's able to sum. Apple Numbers SUM function is not confused that I asked for SUM of 5 (not 4 or 3) cells and I expect to have this sum as a result.
In fact Apple uses the right logic when we use another formula. If we use =B1B2+B3+B4B5 and any cell contains text string that we'll have error result the sam as in Microsoft Excel. So in this example Numbers behaves correctly.
So why SUM (B1:B5) can provide totally different result as =B1B2+B3+B4B5?

So when I set format for my number as my local currency it's displayed as 123 XXX (XXX is my currency but it's not in latin). I see it's not only displayed but also stored as 123 XXX. That's different from Excel that stores only numbers in cells and shows number with prefix or suffix - Numbers storex number with prefix or suffix.
No, you get this behavior because the original sheet is displaying values as currencies. I assumes that the import process pass it as a string because he doesn't recognize it as a currency value. As far as I know, Numbers stores the currency entries as a pure number and an indicator of the used currency.
Here is an example.
(a) the description of the numerical value (I underlined it: 456)
<sf:number-cell sf:flags="4" sf:value="456" sf:col="1" sf:row="2">
<sf:cell-style-ref sfa:IDREF="SFTCellStyle-46"/>
<sf:content-size sfa:w="58.659881591796875" sfa:h="14"/>
</sf:number-cell>
(b) the description of the format (I underlined the used currency: XAM)
<sf:cell-style sfa:ID="SFTCellStyle-46" sf:cell-style-default-line-height="12" sf:parent-ident="tabular-Basic-body-cell-style-id">
<sf:property-map>
<sf:SFTCellStylePropertyNumberFormat>
<sf:number-format sfa:ID="SFTNumberFormat-23" sf:format-type="1" sf:format-string="#,##0.00 ¤;-#,##0.00 ¤" sf:format-decimal-places="2" sf:format-currency-code="XAM" sf:format-negative-style="0" sf:format-show-thousands-separator="true" sf:format-fraction-accuracy="-3" sf:format-use-accounting-style="false"/>
</sf:SFTCellStylePropertyNumberFormat>
<sf:SFTCellStylePropertyImplicitFormatType>
<sf:number sfa:number="256" sfa:type="i"/>
</sf:SFTCellStylePropertyImplicitFormatType>
<sf:SFTCellStylePropertyFormatType>
<sf:number sfa:number="257" sfa:type="i"/>
</sf:SFTCellStylePropertyFormatType>
</sf:property-map>
</sf:cell-style>
Of course, if the original currency string is not recognized, it can't be described as such a feature and the value is treated as a simple string.
So may be at some moment my 123 XXX is treated like string value.
Yes, find and replace is a nice tool when importing data - thanks for the tip. the last problem is with already Numbers files that were imported not today (or even createde as Numbers file) where some cell becomes string value after some editing.
Here again, if you edit a currency string and replace it to a not recognized one, the result will be logically a string.
There is an other way to give this result:
copy a value from a cell formatted as XAM currency (just an example)
paste it in a cell whose format is currency Euro (once again it's just an example).
The result will be a string.
The culprit is not the program, it's the user.
I had several times this situation and last time I found error only because I have my budget in 2 programs - in Numbers and in another special budgeting program. As each program has advantages I have in fact 2 instances of the same budget.
And when I changed some string in Numbers and another program I noticed the sum is different. I was sure it's another program somewhere buggy but noticed than Numbers simply ignores one of the budget strings and sums without it... In fact it was even not the string I changed, I remember I changed the buggy string about a week ago but I haven't compared budgets that time so my budget had a mistake for some time till I noticed it. If I used only Numbers without copy of budget in another program may be even today I won't notice the mistake.
The same situation happened not once.
I think that the choice made by Apple for SUM() is correct. You feel that it is wrong. It's useless to debate more, we will not change the behavior of the function.
I try to give a workaround.
The neater one is to add columns as I described in my first response.
The given formula will clearly flag cells which aren't containing numerical values. If you move the SUM from the original range to the new one, the oddities will be flagged automatically.
Here is an alternate workaround:
The currency is XAM.
In B4 I introduced a typo so the value is no longer a numerical one.
Given that, the sum in the footer doesn't count the 34 (which is the normal behavior).
In column C1 I entered =1*B
which flagged the bad cell.
The alternate is to use an auxiliary table like aux1
In A1 I entered:
=IF(ISERROR(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN(),,,"main"))),"",IF(ISBLANK(INDIRECT(A DDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN(),,,"main"))),"",1*INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN(),,,"main") )))
Exactly the same formula in B1, C1, D1, …
So, the table will automatically grab the contents of the main table (just take care to insert more columns in aux1 than in main)
In the footer row of aux1, insert a sum formula for columns where there is required.
Looking at this footer will flag columns where a value may be "wrong" so, it will be necessary (but easy) to scan the column's content to find the red triangle(s).

Count the number of cells used in a formula

Is it possible to count the number of cells used in a formula?
For example the following formula: "=Tabel 1 :: D45+D8+F7"
The answer needed is 3

From your description, it appears you could use SUMIF to get the totals.
It's not necessary to know the number of times a name appears in the list to determine the sum of the numbers in the cell to the right, but if you have a separate need for that count, then COUNTIF will do the job.
As the names may appear in more than one column, you'll need to use one iteration of the formula for each pair of columns containing name and associated number. In your description, there are names in columns C and E, with associated values in D and F respectively, and all of these cells are in the same table (which I'll name Table 1). I would calculate the totals on a second table (Table 2) containing a list of all of the names in column A, starting at A2, the COUNT of times each name is listed in column B, and the sum of the values in cells immeditely to the right of each name in column C.
Table 2::B2: =SUM(COUNTIF(Table 1::C,A),COUNTIF(Table 1::E,A))
Table 2::C2: =SUM(SUMIF(Table 1 :: C,A,Table 1 :: D),SUMIF(Table 1 :: E,A,Table 1 :: F))
Select cells B2 and C2, then fill the formulas down each column.

Is there a way to make a number of cells add to a certain number. I need 5 or 6 cells to add to 1700. If one of the cells becomes 0, I need the other cells to change so the bottom number stays at 1700.

is there a way to make a number of cells add to a certain number. I need 5 or 6 cells to add to 1700. If one of the cells becomes 0, I need the other cells to change so the bottom number stays at 1700.

Okay then. If your seven numbers are in column B then the formula next to each number in column C would be
=IF(B=0,0,1700/COUNTIF(B,">0"))
This assumes all non-zero numbers are positive numbers. The sum will be 1700.
