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

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

15
15
11
17

12
16
13
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()),"")

    Det values are also f type. Problem is, that for several numbers I got the right values and for another det values I got wrong values... I also try to retype variable value on type p, but without success. Maybe I used wrong types or there is some ABAP rounding of numbers which cause wrong result.
    Any good ideas of solutions. <text removed>. Thanks for your time.

    Hi Lubos,
    phew! that sounds far from SAP scope, but from Maths' numerical methods. Let's see if I can remember something about my lessons at University...
    - One issue can arise when adding and subtracting terms which are very similar, because the error tends to arise quite fast. Try to add the positive terms on one hand, and the negative terms on the other hand, then subtract one from the other.
    - Please take into account that the determinant value can be significantly close to zero when the condition number of the matrix is low, that is, when the range is 4 but the whole determinant is close to 0. Instead, try a [Singular Value Decomposition|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SVD_(mathematics)] or an [LU decomposition|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/LU_decomposition]
    I hope this helps. Kind regards,
    Alvaro

  • 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>

  • Referring to Cells in Formulas problem.

    I have 2 Tables (and one chart) on one sheet. Table 1 has 3 columns viz. Dates, Electricity & Gas
    The Dates column looks like this
    01/01/11 - 31/01/11
    01/02/11 - 28/02/11
    01/03/11 - 31/03/11
    01/04/11 - 30/04/11
    etc etc
    Table 2 calculates the number of gas units and kWh of electricity used during the date intervals in Table 1. What I've (unsuccessfully) tried to do is when Table 2 calculates the number of gas units and kWh of electricity these are automatically entered in the appropriate cell next to the relevant date interval in Table 1.
    For example in Table 2 the number of Gas units is calculated in cell D11 and the kWh of electricity in cell I11 for a particular date interval corresponding to that in Table 1. The data in Table 2 are manually entered for each date interval given in Table 1. What I would like to do is get Numbers to automatically enter the value that is calculated in cells D11 & I11 in Table 2 into the appropriate cells in Table 1 e.g. for 01/01/11 - 31/01/11 the cells in Table 1 would be C4 & D4 for 01/02/11 - 28/02/11 the cells in Table 1 would be C5 & D5 and for 01/03/11 - 31/03/11 the cells in Table 1 would be C6 & D6 and so on up to 01/12/11 - 31/12/11 whose cells would be C15 & D15.
    I've tried doing what is suggested in the *'Referring to Cells in Formulas*' help page but I must be doing something wrong as it just isn't working for my Sheet and Tables. If anyone can hopefully understand my problem and point to a solution I'd be very grateful.
    If anyone wants a copy of the sheet to play around with they are more than welcome to have it it's just that I don't know how to make it available on this forum or show the tables as they are set out here on the forum.
    Thanks
    Thanks

    As Yvan said, it can't be done the way you want. I personally like to have the backup data behind calculations whenever possible, versus overwriting the older data. I would use separate tables instead of a single Table 2.
    I can't quite figure out your "dates". Is it one column or two? For example, is "01/01/11 - 31/01/11" in a single cell? I'm going to assume that's how it is and that it is column A.
    Here is how I might do it:
    1) I would move Table 2 to a different sheet (Sheet 2) and give it a name _exactly the same as the first period in column A_. In other words, it would be named "01/01/11 - 31/01/11" (without the quotes). This table will be for this period only. I would also go to the inspector and click "name" so the table name is shown above the table.
    2) In Sheet 1, Table 1 (your Table 1) I would use the following formula in what you said was column C and a similar one for column D
    =IFERROR(INDIRECT("Sheet 2::'"&A&"'::I11"),"")
    Note that '"&A&"' has triple-quotes around it. The first one is an apostrophe followed by a quote. The second is a quote followed by an apostrophe. The apostrophes are required due to some of the characters being used in the table names. Normally you wouldn't need them.
    3) For the next month, duplicate Table '1/01/11 - 31/01/11' by right clicking on it in the sidebar and choosing "duplicate". Reposition the duplicate on your sheet, rename it with another set of dates (make sure it matches exactly; copy/paste can be your friend), and enter the data for that period. Table 1 will find it automatically.

  • 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?

  • Frustrating Formula Problems

    I'm having a frustrating problem in Numbers. When I press the equals key and click on a cell in another table it returns as an invalid formula error. The formula is:
    [='Table 10' :: B7]
    But when I hit return it changes to
    [=Table 10 :: B7]
    I have tried to enter the formula manually but Numbers keeps changing what I enter. Every other cell works except that one.
    Could anyone replicate this for me? I want to know if it's Numbers or just me, here's how.
    I have three tables "Table 9", "Table 10" and "Table 11"
    Table 10 has five links to Table 9
    B2 [='Table 9' :: A9]
    B3 [='Table 9' :: A10]
    B4 [='Table 9' :: A11]
    B5 [='Table 9' :: A12]
    B6 [='Table 9' :: A13]
    And the sum of those linked values
    B7 [=SUM(B2:B6)]
    Table 11 should link to the sum in Table 10
    B2 [='Table 10' :: B7]
    BTW, ignore the stuff in bold that's the cell coordinates.

    When I try to enter +='Table 10' :: B7+ into a cell in some other table using a US English Numbers, the quotes around the +Table 10+ disappear when I type the B in B7. The behavior is as if Numbers is saying that the quotes are not necessary. It seems that Numbers is reparsing the formula with each key I type.
    I have tried to enter the formula manually but Numbers keeps changing what I enter. Every other cell works except that one.
    In a cell in another table when I type = and then click on cell B7 in Table 10, it creates the cell reference +Table 10 :: B7+ (no quotes).

    Note, as indicated above, I'm unable to get Numbers to accept the quotes around the +Table XX+ notation.
    Pardon my ignorance, but what localization do you use in Australia? This whole thing smells a bit like a localization issue of which there have been several in Numbers (Yvan is the resident expert on this topic).
    So in some cell formulas you have quotes around the +Table XX+ and in others you don't? Do these cells all have the same format setting?

  • Numbers sorting problem

    I know that this problem may have been asked before but I searched and could not find a similar situation.
    I have a spreadsheet that will not sort the contents of a cell correctly. As an example, the table has two columns, the first is formatted as a date, the second as text data. I enter dates in random order and just put a, b, c, d etc in order in the second column. Selecting one cell in the second column, I add background color and a black line border.
    When I sort using the date column, the color background moves with the letter but the black border stays at the original cell address.
    Is this a bug, or have I missed a setting somewhere?

    Yes, it does do that. Without documentation saying what it is supposed to do, it isn't proper to call it a bug. Maybe that was an intended result. Seems kind of strange to move the fill color but not the borders but I can think of examples where you might want it that way, or the opposite way, or for both to move or neither to move.
    Edit: I note that Excel 2008 does the same thing. Therefore it makes it very difficult to call it a bug. I do not know if Excel has any settings to change that behavior. To my knowledge, Numbers does not.

  • Numbers filtering problem

    Hi guys,
    I have a problem with numbers' filtering function here.
    1. I have a table of about 150 rows and 6 columns.
    2. The data consists about 42 categories and I wish to sort out each item.
    3. when I chose the column and try to filter the table, I found there list only about 22 items on the pop-up list.
    where are those missing items ?
    Could someone help me with this?

    2. The data consists about 42 categories and I wish to sort out each item.
    3. when I chose the column and try to filter the table, I found there list only about 22 items on the pop-up list.
    Though the pop-up (or drop-down or whatever it's called) list maxes out at only 22 or so items, you can work with larger numbers in the Sort & Filter panel at the right.

  • Numbers search problem

I really can't imagine software that requires that. Oh yes, there were about 30 books that I searched.
    Thanks for your help in solving my problem in Numbers.

  • HT1338 OS X Numbers Update Problem...

    OS X Version 10.9.1 on 27" late 2009 iMac.
    App store Updates, shows 'Numbers' updated to v3.0.1 , but version 2.3 was not removed.
    What would be the problem, and how do I remove version 2.3 'Numbers'  ...?

    Yes, it's possible it could be the RAM.  To test that theory out, pull 1 stick out.  This will leave you with 2GB RAM.  Try to install Lion as you were.  If you still get the panic, then swap RAM sticks.  Try again.  If you are still getting panics, then it is likely something else, unless both of your RAM sticks are bad, which is unlikely but possible i suppose.

  • Pages numbers paiste problem

    Unlike prior versions of Pages and Numbers when paisting Numbers cells into 5.01 Pages the cells loose formating requiring manual expansion.  Cells only paist into 1 page then disapear disregarding page breaks. This problem has rendered both applications unusable for my contract preperation.

    Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5, and similarly many from Numbers 4.

    Pages/Numbers '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
    Archive/trash Pages 5/Numbers 4, after Exporting your files to older versions or Word or Excel, and rate/review them in the App Store, then get back to work.
