Numbers Formula/Condition Question

I've created a small calendar in Numbers, would like to know how have the numbers (representing the day) gray out (or become a strikethrough character) as that day passes.

If the cells contain actual Date and Time values, you could use the conditional format rule(s) shown below:
Conditional Format rules are set in the Cell Format Inspector.

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.

Need billing plan information into formula condition routine

Hi Experts,
I am writing a formula condition form routine in VOFM transaction. I need to caluculate a formula according to the business requirement. As part of their business, i need to get the billing plan information like billing plan type and billing plan rule so that i can get the number of payments
which i need to use in the formula. Does any of the runtime structures contain this billing information.
Regards,
Chitrasen

Hi Chitrasen,
When i searched with the *BILLING* in the SE11 data type i have got some relevent structures below
try to use those.
FDM_COLL_INVOICE_BILLING_DOC Billing Document for Invoice
RVKUSTA1_S_BILLING Sales Summary: Structure for Billing
for more you can also search with the same so the you will find most relevent one.
Thanks!

RE: possible glitch with conditional questions

I've been designing a form with mulitple conditional questions. On testing, a 'glitch' seems to be occuring. If i a) check and answer to a question which leads to a secondary conditional question, and then b) check a response in that conditional question, and then c) change the response to the original question, the response to the conditional second question remains. i think this may be due to the fact that once you check an answer in a single choice question, you cannot "unanswer" or uncheck the whole question, that is you cant "remove" the check all together.
Any workarounds?

I'm not quite sure I understand. Can you create a simple form illustrating the issue and send it to me. Please enumerate the exact steps that cause the issue.
Thanks for the clarification.

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?

Numbers Formula Question

Hey guys,
I would like to start off saying I appreciate all the help these discussion boards have given me. I am having a numbers issue. I am trying to set up a way for me to manage the money that comes in, and set up a cell that tells me how much I should have been paying in taxes so I don't get bent over next year like I did this year.
So:
Table 1 - Income tracked, how much they've paid. Claim Check box - only checked if they've paid
Table 2 - Basically has one cell - and I've written a forumla that obviously doesn't work, but I want it to sum up the total of all Column C from previous table only but only include that cells in Column C if the Checkbox in Column F is checked.
Is this possible?
I am new to spreadsheets in general, would appreciate any help.
Thanks a million

Hello
In the auxiliary column, theformula is:

In the cell A1 of Table 2
=SUM('Income & Tax' :: G)

Formula date+90 conditional question

I have a list that takes an Open Date and adds 90 days to set a due date:
=[Open Date]+90
However, many of the Open Dates are years old. I've been asked to change it so that dates created before May 31, 2014, should default to August 31, 2014.
I'm thinking it's something like the following, but not sure of the syntax. I've tried these to no avail:
=[Open Date]+90, IF([Open Date]<5/31/2014,"8/31/2014")
=IF([Open Date]<5/31/2014,"8/31/2014",IF([Open
Date]>6/1/2014,([Open
Date]+90)))
=IF(([Open Date]+90)<5/31/2014,"8/31/2014",[Open
Date]+90)
Any recommendations greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Scott

Hi,
Please try Mr. Keith's suggestion first. If you want to use the date format in the formula directly, we may try the following methods:
Set open date: =DATEVALUE(TEXT(A1+90,"mm/dd/yy"))
Note: Please change the cell format as date format.
Example formula: =If(OpenDate-5/31/2014<0,8/31/2014,OpenDate+90)
Thanks

A Numbers Formula Question

I need a formula to find the lowest number in a range, yet greater than another number/cell. There will be no "0's" in the range, but may contain blank cells, if that matters. Thanks!

HW,
Here's one approach.
The table on the left, named "Data" contains the list of values. The table on the right contains your minimum value in A1 and the Result in A2.
The expression in A2 is:
=INDEX(Data, MATCH(A1, Data :: A, -1))
The Match function finds the row of the smallest value greater than the input value and the Index function grabs the value in that row of Data and displays it.
Regards,
Jerry

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.

New version of Numbers - two important questions

I'm running the new version of Numbers and have some questions.
First let me say that I switched from PC to Mac earlier this year. I decided I wanted to try Numbers instead of Excel. Although I do have Office for Mac installed as well. I setup a basic check register. The "type" field is a pull down thing so I can select the type of transaction...deposit, debit, etc. That's still working fine. I have a description field that is for who or what is being paid or deposited. The Category field is for the type of item...salary, credit card payment, utility, etc. In the previous version, I would start typing in those two fields and if I had previously typed something, it would ome up for me to select. This made things very easy for me. Now in this new version, that feature is not there. I did some quick reading in the forum and I believe I read that this feature is no longer in the new version. Is that correct?? Why they heck did they do that....it makes things harder. I guess I could try to setup a pull-down for the category field but frankly I don't want to do that. For the type field (deposit, debit, etc), I don't mind having a pull down as there's not a lot of choices there. But the category field would have quite a few items.
Second question is another annoying problem...
In the previous version when I opened the file, it would be right where I saved it. I always save the check register at the start of the next entry so it's right where I need it to open next time.
Every time I open the file (even after saving it with the cursor on the next entry), it opens all the way at the top. It's extremely annoying to have to scroll all the way down to the next blank entry. Is there any way to fix this??
I saved a template of this file before I started using it in June. I will start a new file using the template each year. I didn't go all the way back to January when I started this file, I just started it from June. Still have the old Excel file for previous info. So the file isn't as "long" as next years would be...but it's still very annoying to have to scroll down every time I open the file. Any suggestions?
Thanks.

Hi Jerry,
That's what I do every time.
I select the first cell on the next blank line and save the file. Although I was using the menu to save & close.
I just tried it again and used the shortcuts for save and close. I had the cursor in the first cell which is the type cell pull down menu. Saved, closed and re-opened and it was all the way back at the beginning again. Tried it once more but this time istead of selecting the pull down cell, I selected the next empty one. Same thing. When I re-open it goes back to the beginning.
I don't understand it. It was fine before I updated to the new version of Numbers.
I checked my budget file. I scrolled down, clicked a cell and saved it. Went back in and it was right where I left it. Strange. I think I just figured it out....
There were two differences in the files. The register has the top two lines frozen, the budget doesn't. The register only has one sheet and it wasn't renamed. The budget has a sheet for each month named accordingly. So I went to the register and renamed the sheet. Scrolled down to the blank entry, saved and closed. Opened it back up and it was right where I left it.
Don't understand it, but it looks like it's now fixed.
Thanks.

Numbers formula problem

I have the following numbers, 20 in total. Numbers are from 0-9.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
3 7 8 1 2 6 6 7 3 1   0   7   0   1   2    2   1   6   8   2
i have another row where I want to put all the numbers that exist in the row 2. numbers that do not appear in that row should not appear in my other row.
But i just want to display the numbers once. The result would be like this:
0 1 2 3 6 7 8
Each number in a different cell.
4,5 and 9 do not appear.
I Hope you could understand my problem. I could post a screenshot, but this forum is buggy.
many thanks,

Splitting a series of data into more than one column or row complicates life. But if it is important to do that (perhaps for ease of data entry) then here is one way to accomplish what I understand you are looking for:
This is the sample data table (I reduced the number of columns for demonstration purposes):
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
DATA 1
16
15
17
16
19

18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
29
30
DATA 2
11
9
12
10
12
14
13
11
12
14
15
13
14
15
18
Then you can create a "Helper Table" that looks like this (in practice it will have many more rows):
Value
Distinct
Ranked
DATA 1
DATA 1
9
16
16
10
15
15
11
17
17
12
16
13
19
19
14
17
15
The formula in A2 of the Helper Table, copied down as far as you can go until you get a red triangle range error is, is:
   =INDEX(UNION.RANGES(FALSE,Data::$A$1,Data::$2,Data::$4),1,ROW())
          (The $2 and $4 appear in this pasted formula means to anchor to those rows. You get that by clicking the row number to select the row)
The formula in B2, copied down, is:
   =IFERROR(IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A2,A2)=1,A2,""),"")
The formula in C2, copied down, is:
    =IFERROR(SMALL(B,ROW()−1),"")
    (The B here is the column B address token which you get by clicking the column letter to select the column.)
Your summary table would look something like this:
Durchmesser
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
The formula in B2, copied right until you get a blank, is:
   =IFERROR(INDEX(Helper Table::$C,COLUMN()),"")

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>

Numbers formula for "sum of all cells above this row"

Is there a way, using the cell formulas in Numbers, to say "sum of all the cells above this row"? I'm trying to make a ledger of sorts, and I want to have a column that is "how much you've spent so far" for each entry, which is the sum of all the "Price" cells for that row and above.
Is this possible? Thank you in advance for your help!

Hi Alexander,
You could start with a table like this:
To get started,
Cell D2 =C2
Then to continue,
Formula in D3 (and Fill Down)
=D2+C3
Row 10 is waiting for you to fill in details... .

Formula Variable Question

Hi
I have to calculate No.Of Days Open for a Case. We have Created Date and Closed Date Characteristics.
Calculation:
Closed Date - Created Date (If Closed Date is not #)
else
Current Date - Created Date.
I have created two Formula variables on Created and Closed Dates and Used Current Date SAP Exit variable.
Formula1: Current Date - Created Date
Formula2: Closed Date - Created Date
RKF1: Formula1 and Closed Date = #.
RKF2: Formula2 and Closed Date NE #.
No.Of Days = RKF1+RKF2
Whenever Closed Date is blank, Formula 2 is giving "Does Not Exist" in the Output.
I tried with NOERR, DELTA functions to get zero value in Formula2 for Closed Date = #
But none of them worked. Surprizingly If I pull Closed Date into the Report, it is showing zeros.
Can anyone guide where I am doing mistake?
Best Regards,
Sree

HI Parth,
I am having one issue in CKF.
Original data:
Compcode   Caseno.     CreatedOn    Amount
1000         A        06/18/2011     100
1000         B        06/19/2011      50
1000         C        06/18/2011     150
I have created one CKF for No.of Days Open. It is difference of Sy-datum and Created Date. I used two formula variables and used
them in the CKF.
Let us say today is 06/22/2011
Report Layout:
Caseno and CreatedOn are Free Characteristics
Compcode No.of Days Open   Amount
1000          4              300
When I bring in the Case no I am getting below result: It should show No.of Days Open as "3" for Case B. Somehow it is always
taking maximum difference number and showing for all cases.
Compcode   Caseno.   No.of Days Open Amount
1000         A           4            100
1000         B               4          50
1000         C               4            150
When I bring in Createdon then only it is showing correct value for all cases. I tried with Exception Aggregation with reference to Caseno.
CreatedOn etc but didn't get the correct result.
Question: Could anyone identify the problem in my Query design? Thanks for your help
