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>

Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

Story does not correctly export fdx file with scene numbers? Bug needs to be fixed.

Okay, Even if i remove the scene numbers from Story and export the file to Final Draft 8. The format in incorrect. The "transitions" ex. CUT TO: are not in the correct allignment. Also there are numbers on each of the dialogues
Pretty much alot of the formatting is not the same. Spaces that break dialouge and action which are there in Story, are not converted over to Final Draft.
Please fix this as soon as possible.
thanks,

How do I stop Numbers formulas from converting (/) into (÷) for hyperlinks. Ref Ver. 3.5.2

How do I stop Numbers formulas from converting ( / ) forward slash into (÷) divide for hyperlinks. Ref Ver. 3.5.2
I am trying to hyperlink to a dropbox url, but the numbers formula is automatically converting / into ÷, preventing the links from working.
Thank you.

You are mixing different issues. I will address Numbers.
Has Numbers ever been installed on this new Mac? Did you have the Mac App Store version of Numbers or did you have the DVD version of Numbers?
You should be able to redownload a previous purchase of the Mac App Store version of Numbers from the Purchases pane after signing into your account.
If you had the DVD version, then you will need to install that from the DVD media.

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 !).

Numbers formula needed for fahrenheit to celsius

Can anyone help with the formula to convert fahrenheit temps to celsius? I need the formula and have not been able to find it/figure it out from help area of numbers.

Hi Suzanne,
Here are examples for conversion in each direction.
Upper table, B2: =(A-32)*5/9
Lower table, B2: =A*9/5+32
For results to the nearest degree, enclose either formula in ROUND(formula,0)
°F ->°C: =ROUND((A-32)*5/9,0)
°C ->°F: =ROUND(A*9/5+32,0)
Regards,
Barry
Added:
Here's an alternate pair that uses the fact that the numbers match at -40° on both scales:
°F ->°C: =((A+40)*5/9)-40
°C ->°F: =((A+40)*9/5)-40

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

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)

Formula Assistance for TIF Images

I am seeking assistance to insert TIF images to a Crystal Report based on specific file path. Specifically, I want to dynamically determine the file path based on the name of the TIF image. The database structure allows me to determine the TIF file location with one exception.
Here is a sample of the location of "9111.tif"
ImageDB\Massdata\Bill\VocBill001\8192\9111.tif
Within the \VocBill001\ folder, there are several folders of TIF images. This example is in folder \8192\. Folder \8192\ contains all TIF images beginning at "8192.tif". All the TIF images are numbered sequentially. Each folder contains 2,048 TIF files. So, the structure in \VocBill001\ will have a folder \1\, \2048\, 4096\, \6144\, \8192\ and so on.
Based on the TIF file name (9111.tif in this case) how can I determine the appropriate folder that holds the TIF image?
Thanks for any help.
Eric

Try to insert the picture in the report and right click on the picture and go to format picture and select picture tab and click on X+2 corresponding to Graphic Location and write the path here
"\ImageDB\Massdata\Bill\VocBill001\8192\"{picture name field}".tif"
this gives you the right picture based on the name in the database field.
If the folder is different then you need to have the specified folder name also in the database.
If you have the complete path in the database then you can directly place the field in it.

Raghavendra.G

Question on Numbers Formula:

Hello Guys,
Thanks in Advance for all those who attempt to solve my question.
I am preparing a numbers file that helps me track my expenses.
I would like to know a formula that i should apply on a table that basically sorts and populates all the entires of specific payment type from another table
The picture attached is self explanatory of the problem that i am facing

HI Prakash,
Looking at the received document, I see this formula in Transactions::F2:
=IF(LEN(E)<1,"",E&COUNTIF(E,E2))
Here is the formula as shown in my post above:
=IF(LEN(E)<1,"",E&COUNTIF($E$2:E2,E))
In the COUNTIF section, your version counts the number of times the value in E2 occurs in ALL of column E (3). That value is appended to the value in E2, to produce "Z Bank Credit Card3" in every line containing "Z Bank Credit Card" in column E.
In the version provided above, the second argument (E) returns the value in E2 (the same as E2 does in your formula)—the value to be counted.
But the first argument ( $E$2:E2 ) tells COUNTIF to restrict its count to the cell(s) from E2 to E2.
As this formula is filled down, $E$2 will remain pointed to the same cell (E2) while E2 will change to point to the column E cell in the same row as the formula. In F4, for example, this argument will read $E$2:E4, and COUNTIF will count the number of times the value in E4 occurs in the three cells E2, E3 and E4.
The LEN() part of this formula is a switch that prevents the formula from producing an error when there is no entry in column E. As cells in column E of this table are filled by choices in a pop-up menu, and none of these choices are less than one character long, this will never happen—the formula will index "None" as it does the other values. As the index column is intended to be hidden, that will not create a problem.
On the Summary table, the formula in A3 needs two minor changes:
A3: =IFERROR(OFFSET(Transaction :: $A$1,MATCH($A$1&ROW()-2,Transaction ::$F,0)-1,COLUMN()-1),"")
Both instances of "Transaction" must be changed to exactly match the name of your Transaction table.
$A$1 needs to be changed to $C$1 to match the location of the payment type name ( Z Bank Credit Card ) on your summary tables,
Note that the Payment type name in C1 must match exactly the Payment type name(s) used in the transactions table.
Regards,
Barry
PS: Noticed a couple of strange behaviours in the file you sent. In the first summary table (Z Bank...).
The row and column Reference tabs did NOT appear when I selected a cell, so I could not use them to resize the width of column A to accomodate the full dates.
Fill down (in column A) worked only one row at a time when done manually. I had to re-grab the fill handle after each move down one row.
The application hung on selecting the whole able (body rows only) and choosing fill right from the Insert menu. A small progress window opened, and the progress bar moved to about 20% completed, then stopped. Sometime later, the bar moved to 50%, but stalled again. It was still there a few hours later, and I did a force quit, then completed this post.

BIG Numbers formula Questions-looking for clarity and direction

Besides a general lack of computer knowledge, here is my problem. I'll try to make it clear and easy to read.
I'm working on a spreadsheet that would organize and keep track of student's choices and payments for a ski retreat. There are 4 checkbox columns for their choices (ticket, ski rental, board rental, tubing). All of these have different costs associated with them, in addition to the basic cost for the retreat.
Using basic arithmetic and an IF formula in the header column I can calculate each student's Total Cost.
=Retreat Cost+(IF(Lift Ticket,TRUE)*50+IF(Ski Rentals,TRUE)*30+(IF(Snowboard Rental,TRUE)*50+(IF(Tubing Tickets,TRUE)*35)))-the (*number is the cost)
This works, although it does return the error that the formula returns a Boolean in place of a number. If there is no easier way to write my formula, how do I turn off that warning-I can't take the glaring reminder of a mistake!
Students need to turn in a deposit, generally set at $50. Using a Deposit column with checkboxes, I worked out how much a student owes after their deposit. Once I check the box, their Balance shows Total Cost minus the general $50.
=Total Cost-(IF(Deposit,TRUE)*50)
Occasionally a student will overpay or underpay their deposit, and right now I'm just going in and manually trying to readjust. I just can't figure out any other option.
I'd like to keep track of how much money is coming in. Currently this is my formula.
=SUM(COUNTIF(Students :: Deposit,TRUE)*50+SUMIF(Students :: Paid,TRUE,Students :: Balance))
My main issue really comes down to the varying deposits. If someone pays $60, I have to check the box, subtract 10 from their balance and add 10 to the student payments. I also wanted the Balance column show "0" once the Paid column was checked, but that was definitely out of my skill set!
Also, I'm going to try to paste a screen shot. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated! I'm new to working with numbers (1 week baby!) and honestly, the vast majority of my knowledge has come from reading the message board, so thanks!

=Retreat Cost+(IF(Lift Ticket,TRUE)*50+IF(Ski Rentals,TRUE)*30+(IF(Snowboard Rental,TRUE)*50+(IF(Tubing Tickets,TRUE)*35)))-the (*number is the cost)
I would change it to somehting more like this...
=Retreat Cost+(IF(Lift Ticket,1,0)*50)+(IF(Ski Rentals,1,0)*30)+(IF(Snowboard Rental,1,0)*50)+(IF(Tubing Tickets,1,0)*35))
(This last part I don't get at all... >-the (*number is the cost))
The form for an if is If(Test,True,False) meaning if the TEST is true then answer whatever replaces the word true in the description. I think you thought you had to type true. Common mistake if you haven't used them before.
Look at one of my If's...
IF(Lift Ticket,1,0)*50
If the lift ticket box is checked, then answer 1 and multiply by 50, if not answer 0 and multiply by 50, taking that cost to zero.
Just repeat for each cost and your done...
Does that help get you on the right track?

2 NUMBERS issues i need help with

1. is there a way to "lock" certain colums in a spreadsheet? for example, i have a spreadsheet where column A is the product name, columns B thru M are wholesale prices that have to be input and Columns N thru Y the numbers are calculated and populated into the cells, but if i accidentally happen to click on a cell in that area, it can pop up the formula and then if you accidentally click on another cell, it adds that cell name to the formula.. or if you click it you can "pick up" the cell and move it to another location.. just wondering if there is a way to lock that section where the formula can't be changed or cells accidentally moved...
2. on this same spreadsheet... i'm wondering if there is a way to set like a "master" formula or formulas... and have the formula in the cells be kind of like clones of the master formula... i have the formula set to add a percent to the wholesale price, to get the retail price, but if want to change that percentage, right now i would have to go into every cell for every product and every size and change the percentage... and there are 12 price variations for each product.. times over 3,500 products.. you see where i'm going here.. it would be almost impossible to change all those percentages in each cell every time i needed to change the markup percentage... surely there is a way to make this happen, i just haven't been able to figure it out.. i'm thinking i may need to have a few master formulas for different brands or maybe i could just separate each brand of product into their own sheet and just have 1 master formula per sheet..
hopefully that all makes sense..
thanks for any help you provide..
gary

thanks t quinn for your help.. i was able to get the percentage thing fixed...
i do have two more questions if you don't mind....
1.when i am typing in the formula, why does the formula take on the column name and product name (row) fields instead of just keeping the column letter and row number i typed in.. for example, i typed in B3 x $B$1 + B3 and when i hit the check mark to save it, it changes the formula to
wholesalecostblueshoes x $B$1 + wholesalecostblueshoes (where wholesale cost is the Column and blue shoes is the product name in that row.. i mean the formula still works, but it's kind of an annoying housekeeping issue... not all the boxes with the formula in them change to this, some retain the Column letter and row number.. but some switch to what the name of the column and row are...
2. i added a check mark column so that when i am working on updating the prices, i can click the check box to remember that that row has been updated... now, the next time i need to update the prices, all the checks are checked.. what i want to know is, is there a way to have a separate checkbox like up by the MARKUP PERCENT box that i can click to UNCHECK all the boxes... you know so i don't have to manually click on every checkbox to uncheck them... kind of like a "check all" "uncheck all" kind of thing...
thanks,
gary
