Numbers formula math incorrect!

EDIT: I was being stupid! Problem solved.
I just bought iWork '08 tonight and love Numbers. But it doesn't add up correct.
I created a table and a chart. The following is the table and it adds correctly.
$5004.00 => Required Support
$500.4 => Committed Support
$4503.60 => Additional Need
10% => Percentage Support
This math is correct. However, I created a pie chart and set the fields to equal required support ($5004.00) and committed support ($500.4). However, instead of returning 10%, it returns 9%. If I increment the numbers it becomes even more ridiculously wrong.

Condtion record -Price element inactive -Inactive Via Formulas or Incorrect

Hi experts,
I am trying to use pricing condition in bespoke service order. When I add product to it, I don't get the net value. When I click on product then I get all condition records but condition record with bespoke condition type are marked red and with error 'Price element inactive -Inactive Via Formulas or Incorrect'. Also on order I get error that one of the bespoke condition is missing. ( which is mandatory).
In SAP GUI when I open the order and select the condition record with click on magnifying glass I see 'Txt for condn inactive = Inactive Via Formulas or Incor' in condition record's detail.
Any idea what is missing? I have downloaded all customizing objects and condition records in CRM.
Thank you.

The condition types are not visible in bespoke transaction. How to activate the condition types for bespoke transaction?
Also I don't see any condition record in Product master.
Thank you.

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.

Numbers 3.5 (Incorrectly?) Activates Sheet When Processing Script

My earlier post was incorrectly marked as answered, so I have re-posted the original question along with a link to the first thread.
Updated Table Name Changes Applescript Operation in Numbers 3.5
I've been using Applescript in Numbers for some time to copy/paste data (set cell values) from one sheet table to another sheet table.
My original script was heavily cribbed from something Yvan Koenig had posted 2-3 years ago.
I recently updated to Yosemite and Numbers 3.5 after testing to ensure my original script remained functional (and it did).
I subsequently updated my source data table by duplicating my old table and editing this new source.
I then updated my Applescript to to reference the new source table.
Testing yielded a good functional result, but Numbers changed its behavior by displaying its work while setting values in the target sheet table.
This obviously slows the script down and adds measurable processing time given the amount of data being moved.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this behavior from occurring?
I don't believe I changed anything material in my original script so I'm really not sure why Numbers changed its behavior.
I have included my script below. Thanks very much for any help!

Hello
I don't use Numbers 3 and so this is a general advice. If the on-screen update is the cause of slowdown, you may simply hide the application. Like this.
tell application "System Events" to set process "Numbers"'s visible to false
-- main code here
tell application "System Events" to set process "Numbers"'s visible to true
Good luck,

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
17
16

18

17
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... .

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 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

Numbers formula's vs exel?

Hi,
What is up with numbers?
I try to enter a simple formula like =H2-((H2/100)*20)
But this doesn't work?
In excel this works?
Any help?

Hi Cybert_be,
This will work if your data entries *always* have a number, then a space, then a currency.
Column A is formatted as Text. That is where you type or paste your prices.
B2 contains a formula to find the (first) space in A2:
=FIND(" ",A2)
C2 contains a formula to grab the left part of A2, before the space:
=LEFT(A2,B2-1)
Column D is formatted as Number with 2 decimal places.
D2 contains a formula to convert C2 from Text to Number format:
=VALUE(C2)
Now select B2 to D2 and Fill Down.
If you want to grab the currency text from Column A, the RIGHT() function will do that.
The Numbers'09 User Guide, and the Formulas and Functions Guide will help you. Those are available from the Help Menu in Numbers.
Regards,
Ian.

Pages to Numbers formula not work

I have a table prepared in Pages (on macbookpro), that i have cut and paste into Numbers using IOS iPhone. Formula will not work as the cells treat the numbers as text, and i need to type them all in manually (format will not work either as the cells revert to text).

It will probably put it in the portal repository under the "new" provider. For example, if your page group that the navigation page is under is displayed as "My page group", under the "new" portlet provider you should see a "My Page Group" portlet folder.

Works fine here. I suspect you need to use semi colons for the argument separators:
=IF(LEN(B2)>0;"NOTEMPTY";"#0")
Regards,

PS: Same change will be needed in my formulas above. Commas are used to separate arguments where the period ( . ) is the decimal separator, semi colons ( ; ) where the comma ( , ) is the decimal separator.

You are right, Barry!
Sorry, I work in Excel over 10 hours a day. Any syntax-related comma in Excel will be a semicolon in Numbers. Power of a habit. :-)

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
