Numbers 3 summing cells with negative values

I am trying to sum a column of cells with postive and negatve numbers but the result does not consider the the negative sign. It just adss absolute values

There is something else going on. I can clearly sum positive and negative numbers:

Numbers do not accept negative values after upgrading to Snow Leopard

I have iWork 9 installed in Leopard, and after upgrading to Snow Leopard, Numbers don't accept negative values, e.g. -141. They are defined as text and are aligned left in the cell, even if the cell is defined for numbers. Positive values are defined as numbers and aligned right.
All my statistics are wrong now. I don't where to find a sollution. Need to fix this asap.

I may guarantee that the cell contains a standard minus symbol.
I entered in the Index.xml to see if something was odd.
All is perfect.
I can't imagine that the OP replaced deliberately a wrong char by a correct one before sending the file to my mailbox.
And I repeat,
(1) in the file which I received, the cell was really treated as a text one.
(2) on my machine, on the OP's alternate machine, on the OP's alternate user account, resetting the cell's status to numbers apply well.
So, if a third party component is the culprit, it would be easy to identify: it must be in one of the user account able to receive third party items which means
<userAccount>:Applications
<userAccount>:Library:Address Book Plug-Ins
<userAccount>:Library:Fonts
<userAccount>:Library:Contextual Menu Items
<userAccount>:Library:LaunchAgents
<userAccount>:Library:PreferencesPanes
<userAccount>:Library:Scripting Additions
<userAccount>:Library:Services
<userAccount>:Library:Widgets
But from my point of view it would be more efficient to try to search a culprit in the
<userAccount>:Library:Caches folder.
An efficient tip would be to compress every subfolder of this folder as a .zip file and trash the original file.
Reboot so that the account restarts without the caches.
If th account continue to fail, my idea was bad.
If it behaves well, the culprit was one of the caches.
unpack them one by one so you will get the wrongdoer.

Issue with Negative Value for Total valuated stock 0VALSTCKQTY.

Hi Experts,
we loaded the Cube with datasources 2LIS_03_BX, 2LIS_03_BF and 2LIS_03_UM.
We mapped the quanity field from 2LIS_03_BF in transformation either into Key figures "Quantity issued from valuated stock" (0ISSVALSTCK) or "Quantity received into valuated stock" (0RECVALSTCK ) of the cube.
For obtaining the Total Valuated stock, we used the Key figure 0VALSTCKQTY. This key figure is having the Inflow and Out flow values as 0RECVALSTCK and 0ISSVALSTCK. When i tried to check the content of 0VALSTCKQTY, the key figure 0VALSTCKQTY is not present in the infoCube content. I understood that the value for this key figure would be calculated at the time of query execution with the formula
{ Last obtained Valuated stock + (Received Valuated Stock u2013 Issued Valuated Stock ) }.
The issue is the first records in the query is obtained with negative value for the total valuated stock 0VALSTCKQTY even though the values of Received Valuated Stock and Issued Valuated Stock are with Zero. Could any one please help me on how the first record in the query is with a negative value eventhough the inflow and out flow fields of it are with Zero.
Many Thanks in advance.

Hi Srini,
I observed an interresting reason for the stock being with negative in the first record.
Issue : While executing the BEx report, we have the first record with a negative value.
Let me explain with an example
Material : XYZ
Plant      : A
Date of Stock Initialization for data source 2LIS_03_BX -
> 12th April 2009.
So on 12 Th April 2009 consider that we have a stock in store with a value of 2640.
Then we have loaded wih Data source 2LIS_03_BF for all Historic Movement types.
At the time of query execution we will have the first record with a negative of available stock present on the day of initialization .
So, as we have initilized the data source 2LIS_03_BX on 12 th April 2009, we have at that time a stock of 2640 in availability.
Exactly with the same value of 2640, we are having a negative value i.e. -2640.
and also one more point to be noted is ...as we have initialized the data source 2LIS_03_BX on 12 th APril 2009...it has created a
opening balance of 2640 on the day of initiailization i.e on 12 th April 2009 in infocube....(which is an extra record...)...so if the previous record of 12,04,2009 is having some value in it..then it will get added to 2640 EA..which will give incorrect stock
So in the query the records will appear in the below following manner
Calendar Day     Total stock                                                                Received stock                                          Issued Stock
28.12.2005 ---> - 2640 EA
29.12.2005 --->    2000 EA                                                                       640 EA                                                        0
10.04.2009 --->      0                                                                                0                                                               2000 EA
11.04.2009 -
>    0                                                                                0                                                                0
                             (For making
                              the earlier record of initilization to 0 a negative value -2640 EA is created in the first record )
12.04.2009 (Initializtion day) ---> 2640 EA                                                 0                                                                0
13.04.2009
the day before initialization the total stock will be 0 due to the negative effect introduced by the first record and from the day of initialization the records will be the accurate values... On 12 th april 2009 we can see that a stock of 2640 is brought into the total stock. In fact if there is no negative value i.e. -2640 in the first record then ...the value on 11.04.2009 will be 2640 Ea and this will get summed up with the Opening balance of 2640 EA created by 2LIS_03_BX on the day of intitialization. So on 12 .04. 2009 the total stock will be shown as 5280 EA...so in order to prevent the double value only we observed that the first record is created with the negative of available stock present on the initialization ...to make the record before the day of initialization i.e. 11.04.2009...to be 0...so that from 12 th April 2009 ..will start to see the actual total stock in the query result...
This is happening only if we use both the data sources 2LIS_03_BX and 2LIS_03_BF for loading into BW.....
If we load alone by 2LIS_03_BF ...then as 2LIS_03_BX is ruled out in the loading...then no negative of available stock will be created ...because there will be bno opening balance created on the day of initialization.....and the opeing balance available will be flowing into consecutive records due to the movement types and 12 th April 2009 will be shown with avaialable total stock of 2640 EA.
Kindly let us know your opinions on this...
Thanks.

Jeswanth

Apex 3.2 SVG Chart - How to plot Stacked Bar With Negative Values ?

Currently Apex 3.2 Flash Chart (AnyChart 3.x) does not support Stacked bars with negative values.
I try with SVG Stacked bars with positive values only, chart ploting works fine. When I add a new series with negative values (i.e -1) and I get a blank Chart region with no error.
Based on this statement from Apex's documentation:
*"AxisLine Indicates zero on charts that have negative values."*
I appreciate your help on how to translate this statement into action ?
(i.e how to override .Axisline class in CSS section ?)
Thank you very much for your time.

User614143,
try to add the minumm negative value (but positive) to the parameter for the axis.
e.g. show value+3000 (assuming -3000 is the minimum value)
If you don't have a limitation for the negative values, it doesn't work. (or try to calculate first the most negative value in a before header process)
hope this helps.

Service PO Creation With Negative value

Hi all,
I am trying to create a Services PO using the BAPI 'BAPI_PO_CREATE1'
In my scenario, First time PO will create with negative value.
Then I will remove some conditions in Services line.
Then PO value will becomes positive.
When i create the bapi in ME21N, its working fine. Net values of PO become negative.
But When I try the same using the BAPI, net price of the PO stored as 0(ZERO).
If I create a PO with positive value using the same BAPI, everything is fine.
If I change the PO after creation(removing the service line to make bapi value as positive), Net values are doubled since value stored as zero instead of negative value.
Kindly help me to get out of this issue.
Note: I need to create a Services PO with negative value using the BAPI
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
No need to create service PO with negative quantity!
If payment not done for your servicePO, you can cancel invoice document and then revoke SES.
If any other process involved you can do subsequent debit or subsequent credit for your service PO in t.code:MIRO.

Flex char 100% with negative values.

Hello.
I have in my app a chart (cartessianchart) with a columnset
of 100% columseries.
All is fine until negative values appear in the series. For
those negative values, the representation dissapears.
I have ported my app to use "stacked" series instead of 100%
ones and i make the 100% conversion programatically.. but this
seems to me like reinventing the wheel..
Perhaps it is not possible to use 100% bars with negative
values...
Could you take a look to the code i submit and send me your
ideas?
Thanks

Hi Aman,
DB not restarted during this time.. we don't have production access. we will get awr report automatically from customer daily. also i am getting issue in our local environment v$rowcache view gets values is negative for dc_users and dc_tablespaces parameter may be it's related production issue...

Colum Chart - (3-D) Stacked : compatible with negative values ?!

Hi,
In our VC model we are showing a Column Chart - 3-D Stacked.
On our development server everything works fine. (the query gives positive values for the KPI's only btw)
In production the bar chart is not being displayed. The bar remains on value 0. I'm quite sure this is related to the fact that we have some negative values on production for some of our keyfigures that we need in the chart. Many others are positive. This is not compatible with stacked charts I think, but.....on our quality environment the chart works fine with negative values for the same KPI's as well. The negative values are more or less ignored in the graph on quality.
So my question is : Is it correct that negative values are officialy not compatible with VC stacked charts ? Why is it then working (ignoring the negative values) in some circumstances and other circumstances not ? The only difference between quality and production is that the KPI values are different but the same KPI's are negative anyway on these environments. The models (queries and VC model) were transported from dev->QA and to production.
thanks for any feedback.

Hi Todd,
Depending how you look at costs, it's not expensive.
A single developer license of Anychart 5 costs USD 499.00 - 15% if you use the APEX15 promotion code.
If you spend a couple of days trying to integrate with something else you easily went over that amount.
So really, it depends in which perspective you look at it. The workaround with Excel, is that really an option? How long would it take for every person wanting to see that screen? How long would it take before you get to $440?
Anyway if you wait till next year, Anychart 5 is included in APEX 4.0 and you have it out of the box.
Just my thoughts,
Dimitri

Average of a set of numbers, excluding empty cells (but including cells with a value of zero)

Hi, I have two tables in my spreadsheet (a personal budget) showing all my expenses spread over time. In the first table, each column is a month and year, each row is a type of expense (gas, rent, groceries, etc).
October 2013
November 2013
December 2013
February 2014
Income
3000.00
3200.00
2800.00
Gas
85.00
95.00
75.00
Rent
1200.00
1200.00
1200.00
Groceries
110.00
130.00
150.00
Eating Out
92.00
76.00
80.00
Clothes
0.00
90.00
30.00
The second table is this month's expenses so far (I enter the figures for "X Month, So Far" in a third table, which doesn't factor in here).
December 2013, So Far
Average +/-
Income
2800.00
-200.00
Gas
75.00
-15.00
Rent
1200.00
0
Groceries
150.00
+30.00
Eating Out
80.00
-4.00
Clothes
30.00
-15.00
I want the correct formula for the Average +/- column. I want it to calculate the monthly average for that particular type of expense, and then calculate the difference from this month's expenses so far. The key is that I want it to add all the sums from a particular row with any value in their cells, even if it's zero. For instance, all of the examples above would divide the sums by two - even the row for Clothes, which has a cell with 0.00, but I would need that to count as a value.
Also, when calculating the average, I would want the formula to exclude the current month, which is entered automatically in the next column.
I would need a formula I wouldn't have to change every month. Can you help?

Hi sk,
"The key is that I want it to add all the sums from a particular row with any value in their cells, even if it's zero. For instance, all of the examples above would divide the sums by two - even the row for Clothes, which has a cell with 0.00, but I would need that to count as a value."
What you've described is the default condition for AVERAGE over a range of cells—any cell containing a numerical value is included, and cell that is empty or contains a text value is ignored. Here are some examples:
Creating a constant formula that will ignore the current (and future) month(s) can be done by ensuring that the amounts in the current month are seen as Text, rather than as numbers, as I've done in column C of row 6.
This can be done using a formula to transfer amounts from the 'third table' you mention to the first table in your example (showing monthly expenses for earlier months and partial totals for the current month). The formula would use IF to add text to the begining or end of the totals IF the column was for the current month, but to transfer of=nly the monthly totals for previous months.
=IF(earlier-month,"xx"&formula,formula)
Both instances of formula are the same—whatever formula you are currently using to transfer the amounts to this tabe.
An alternate method would be to add a second header row to the top of the forst table, and place checkboxes into thoes cells. Check the box when you want to incude that column's values in the averages.
For this method, AVERAGE would be replaced with AVERAGEIF, with the 'IF' condition a simple reference to the row of checkbox cells. As each month passed, the only change needed would be to check the box in the just-passed month's column.

Barry

How to fill an empty cell with the value above

Hello,
Please help me on the following issue related to BEx query and it's output in BEx analyzer as well as on Web.
I am trying to modify a query output where the empty cells are to be filled with the value in the above cell.
e.g. there is a column for transaction number, and this transaction number is the same for three rows, so it turns out to be two empty cells and only appears as if the transaction number applies to the first row only.
not sure how to paste screenshot or attach document but would love to provide more information if the above isn't suffice.
Please advise on what and where to modify in BEx designer.
Thank you for your help!

Thanks a lot...yes, now it works in BEx Analyzer but for some reason doesn't work in the Web view.
Any ideas why is that?
Thanks again for your prompt help.

Credit note for invoice with item with negative value

Hi,
is it possible to create credit note for invoice, where in one line is negative value (its non stock item).
There exists 2 possibilities:
negative qty and positive price (its possible create only through SDK, not SBO)
positive price and negative qty
for example
itemcode 123
qty -1
price 1000
How to create credit note from this invoice?
Thanks a lot for hints.
Petr

Hello Petr Verner,
It's a standard functionality of Business one, that it is impossible to enter a negative amount in an independant credit note or in a credit note based on a invoice with negative amount.
To solve this issue:
1. For the rows with the positive Row Total, create an "independent" Credit Memo (not based on an Invoice).
2. For the rows with the negative Row Total, create another Invoice with a positive Row Total opposite to the original negative Row, and reconcile between the two rows manually via Banking => Bank Statements and Reconciliations => Reconciliation.
Hope the above helps.

-fx-background-position with negative values bug ?

Hi,
I've reported an issue that seems to be a bug with negative -fx-backgound-position values in CSS : the background image is painted out of bound of the target node.
Here is the CSS code:
/* useradd icon style: with negative offset */
.icon-useradd {
-fx-background-position: -90px 0px;
} I've created a new JIRA issue with attached screenshot :
http://javafx-jira.kenai.com/browse/RT-25522

This probably is expected behaviour.
The properties for background fills (color, insets, radius) donot work together with the properties for background images (image, position, repeat, size). They are separate and painted in separate passes in order, quote from the CSS doc below:
>
Each Region consists of several layers, painted from bottom to top, in this order:
background fills
background images
contents
border strokes
border images

Hi,
I have to align the amount in the report. My problem here is, when the report
displays negative values, the amount misaligned.
Can you help me on this one?
thanks!

If you can treat the data shown in the smartform as CHAR, write the number with sign moved to the left.
you've got:
345,00
456,70
345,90-
is it right?
Insteda why don't you format like this?
345,00
456,70
-345,90
Hope this helps,

Is there a way to fill a cell with a value based on the selection from another cell?

For example: If have a drop down menu created for Cell A1 with options (Dog 1, Cat 2, Bird 3). Is there a way to fill cell A2 automatically when I select from the drop down menu.
So if I selected 'Cat' in A1, cell A2 would automatically input the 2.

I suggest an extensible method that allows you to add other animals:
This method adds a small table called "Animal Lookup" that matches names (same as in the pop-up menu) with a value.
The table on the left uses this table to retrieve the value based on the animal:
B2=VLOOKUP(A2, Animal Lookup :: A:B, 2, 0)
select B2 and fill down
