Numbers If Formula

Help, I am trying to make an if formula, but can't get it to work.
So what I need to do is -
I'm using numbers to keep details of booking for an event, and I have set up a second table for people who said they would like to volunteer. On my booking table I have a column where they choose which team they want to be in. And I want in a separate table to pull the names of everyone who selected for a specific team.
SO something like IF a3 =stewarding = first name
but what would be useful is if it didn't say it for delegate one it would automatically look at the next delegate and so on... so I would then have a list of names of everyone who is in a team automatically
Make sense?
HELP!

I want in a separate table to pull the names of everyone who selected for a specific team.
SO something like IF a3 =stewarding = first name
It is possible to set this up with formulas using a "helper" index column.
But unless you are constantly refreshing the list every few minutes, how about using the power of the Numbers interface like this.
Keep all the data (names and other information) in one table. Have a column for Stewarding and format the body cells as Checkbox.  Check the boxes as appropriate.
Set up a separate empty table.
Then when you need a list of all the people you have for Stewarding, simply filter on the Stewarding column (click the disclosure triangle by column letter at the top and choose the filter from the drop-down menu that appears).  Select the visible cells, command-c to copy, click once in a cell in the separate table and command-v to paste.  In just a few seconds you have your separate list. 
Clear the filter in the data table and apply other filters as needed for other lists.

    How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells?  In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly.  When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up.  How can I do this?
    For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
    If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted...  How can I do this without distorting the formula?

    Thanks for the feedback.
    If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because  a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.

    Download them while they are available.
    Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
    Searching infos in the  iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.

  • Syntax error in  a numbers " if" formula

    Hi All:  I hope that somepne can tell me what is causing the syntax error on the following formula:
    =IF(C16>0, =sum(C15+C19+C23+12), =12)
    I have tried just about everything that i can think of and nothing works.  for your info C16 is a numeric field with no formulas. the formula in the if true section, works just find in the spreadsheet.  The if false section, I have tried =12, +12, =+12, and 12.  I am using numbers 09.
    I look forward to everyone's assistance.
    Thanks,
    G.E.

    omit the "=" inside the if() like:
    =IF(C16>0, sum(C15,C19,C23,12), 12)

  • Can iOS Numbers copy formulas when adding new rows?

    iOS Numbers table add row is not copying previous cell formulas. Is this supported or not?
    I have a table with lots of columns and all of them have formulas. When I click at the lower left of the table to add a row, none of the new cells have the formulas. I have to manually go through every column and copy the formulas to the new row.
    This is not very practical if you're planning to use Numbers on the go with an iPad. In my case, I have to quickly get a new row ready as needed. I was hoping there is a preference setting somewhere like "copy formulas when adding new row".

    I had the same issue with the added twist that I wanted to reference the created cells in formulas in other sheets. This is what works for me:
    I use a form to enter data. The referenced sheet is set up like this:
    1     Name     Date     ServPayment    SalesPayment     Total
    2     Week1                                                                 =sum (ServPayment,SalesPayment)
    3                                                                                =sum (ServPayment,SalesPayment)
    4     TotWeek1                                                            =sum (Total2,Total3)
    "Total" sums the 2 Payments, TotWeek1 sums the totals.
    In the entry form I never add data to the empty line. In this example, I would start at "Week1" and tap the "+" to add a new form. This creates the line in the referenced sheet with my formulas. As I continue, I always start at the last entry I have made and tap "+".
    When I create a line that does not have the formula on either side, I do not get the formula.
    Hope this helps.

  • Numbers sumif formula

    I used the following formula in Excel =SUMIF(I$27:I$105,"=M",H$27:H$105). This formula does not work in Numbers, I have tried a variety searches under help and have looked for books at the bookstores that may add insight to no avail. I anticipate there is a syntax error, anyone with thoughts.
    The formula works in Excel.
    Bill

    When you say it "does not work", what exactly do you mean? If it were a syntax error, you would see an error in the cell. Do you mean the formula displays 0? If so, maybe the numbers you are adding are formatted or evaluated as text somehow. Just playing with a table similar to Yvan's and formatting the number column as text kills the SUMIF formula in Numbers. But, in Excel, the formula appears to live on. Just a guess.

  • Updated cost numbers in Formulation Tab after import?

    P4P v6.1.
    We are using the SaveDWBSpecCost API in the Extensibility Pack to pull raw material costs into the Cost Library. However, if a user is in the system when the service updates the cost library, they have to unselect then reselect the cost set in the Formulation Tab before they will see the updated numbers.
    Is this the only way for the user to see the costs from the latest effective date in the currently selected cost set when they open the Formulation Tab? Their concern is that there seems to be no way currently for the user to know they are using old cost information, so the user has to reselect the cost set every time they’re in the Formulation Tab. Seems awkward. Is there a better way?
    thanks

    Hi Tallen,
    I think it is worked as design because we don't want the new cost data to affect any legacy data in system until you update it manually. However, when user creates a new formulation with the material as input, system will pull the latest cost data. So i believe the functionality you request here is currently not supported. I recommend you submit an enhancement request. Be sure to include your business use case.
    Thanks,
    Jessie

  • Need help with a Numbers (ISBLANK) formula

    Having trouble with a cell formula that tests 2 cells for blank condition.
    I want to sum 2 cells only if they are BOTH blank.  (Trying to eliminate the
    "0" in the sum cell if both test cells are blank.)
    I've tried using ISBLANK, AND, IF functions but no success.
    Would appreciate your help on this. Thank you.

    Hi there.
    Perhaps due to my bad english, I could not understand your question, but I want to help, anyway.
    The question is: why would you want to sum two blank cells? Or what you want is to sum two cells IF two different cells are blank?

  • I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

    I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column,  find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96  I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
    =(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
    The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96  So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
    This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
    Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
    Thanks

    You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
    =average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
    where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.

  • Work around for array formula in numbers

    I have an excel array formula that I am trying to replicate in numbers.
    I have a table of data that contains various revenue types.
    I want to return only those items that are marked as "membership" revenue on a new sheet
    the formula i have is
    index(L$2:L$150,small(if(Q$2:Q$150="Membership",Row(L$2:L$150)-Row(L$2)+1),Row(L 1)))
    when I put this is an array and copy it then it skips the rows that don't relate to membership.
    In numbers the formula works in the first cell but I can't copy it so that it returns only the membership data.

    Given this:
    How about a filter?
    Giving this:
    You can then copy the body cells of the filtered table into another existing table, which you can sort, etc.
    Or, if you want have the second table automatically refresh (but don't care about sorting it) you could do something like this.
    Add an index column (that you can later hide if you want):
             The formula in D2, copied down, is:   =B2&COUNTIF(B$1:B2,B2)
    And then use a formula like this to extract the values into the second table:
    The formula in A3, copied right and down, is:
               =INDEX(Table 1::A,MATCH($A$1&ROW()−2,Table 1::$D,0))
    If you want, you can wrap it in IFERROR to suppress the red warning triangles in the lower rows:
           =IFERROR(INDEX(Table 1::A,MATCH($A$1&ROW()−2,Table 1::$D,0)),"")

  • Converting Excel formulas to use in Numbers

    I want to use an Excel 2010 spreadsheet in Numbers on my iPad.
    When added and opened with Numbers, some formulas are not copied, only the values... How can I keep / convert all the the formulas ?

    Hello pjl123, and thanks for helping
    Only some formulas are not converted. It's a bit long to find all of them, because there seem to be a lot of small triangles with exclamation points in the converted Numbers file.
    I'm not sure about the way I should save the file, since I presently use Excel 2010 normally (.xls format)
    The reason I'm asking for help on this, is that I want to get rid of my M/S windows laptop in favour of an Apple, and I have a lot of excel files that would require a lot of work to redo in numbers....
    If anyone knows how to save an excel file in a format more compatible with numbers, I would be very grateful.

  • The Same Excel Functions Not Giving the Same Result in Numbers

    That's a form of "array function" (searching a "table array").  Numbers can't do array functions the way Excel can.
    Here's one way to achieve the same goal in Numbers:

  • Merging numbers documents into single PDF for emailing

    I have 23-50 numbers documents (invoices) that I want to send as one single PDF (to save time).
    When I select them all in Finder and open in Preview they are not full size and are rotated the wrong way.
    When I open them seperately in Numbers and cmd P they show up fine covering the whole A4 paper and are rotated correctly.
    Is there any way of sending multiple Numbers files as one PDF, or separate PDFs without having to open each one and Cmd P > PDF and drag/drop into Mail??
    Trying to save time, as we have 23-50 of these every week to do!
    We don't want to save them as PDFs as we create the documents as this takes up space on the computer - and there's loads of them!
    Hoping someone will know the answer.
    Thanks for taking the time to help

    Hi again mm,
    Use a master document in Numbers to temporarily hold copies of each invoice, each on a separate Sheet.
    As you complete each invoice, copy that table and then go to the temporary master document. Add a new Sheet and delete the default table that appears. Paste the new invoice. If the invoice has formulas, Menu > Edit > Paste Formula Results (because in Numbers, the formulas will not link back to the original document).
    When you are ready to email this master document, Menu > File > Print... and in Print Preview panel on the right > Print All Sheets:
    Click on the Print... button (it won't print yet). Bottom left of the print dialogue choose Save As PDF
    That is the PDF for you to email and then delete. *
    I tried this with an "invoice" on each of two Sheets. Not tried with 23-50 invoices .

    Ian.

  • What formula do I use to show the net value (less 23% tax).

    In Numbers, what formula do I use to show the net value (i.e. less 23% tax).

    thejuddo writes:
    "$100 plus sales tax of 23% would be $123.00 but in order to get the net value of $123.00 less the tax I would have to divide by 1.23 not multiply by 23% and then minus it."
    Correct;
    The 23% tax is 23 one hundredths of the base amount, and is applied to that amount. As a formula, this can be stated as:
    =B2+B2*C2
    or
    =B2*(1+C2)
    (either applying to the data arrangement shown in the top table, and entered in  D2 of that table)
    In the other direction, though (bottom table), we start with the Gross amount and the Tax rate as known quantities, from which we are to determine the base amount, remembering that the 23% Tax rate is 23% of the Base amount, not 23% of the Gross amount.
    Rewriting the two formulas above as equations, with g, b, and t as the variables, we get:
    g = b + (b * t) 
    g = b(1+t)
    Solving the second for b:
    b - g/(1+t)
    Expressed as a formula (with the data as arranged in the bottom table, and the formula in D2):
    D2: =B2/(1+C2)
    In both directions, it may be prudent to round the result to the nearer hundredth, as done here for the calculation immediately above:
    =ROUND(B2/(1+C2),2)

  • Need help building an autonomy formula, able to self-arrange itself

    Hi again, folks! I've recently been helped by Barry in some of my problems with Numbers and formulas, and he helped me a lot, but I need a new help. Please, notice that I have no idea about spreadsheets, mathematics and such, but a creative mind As well, English is my second languaje, so expect some errors in my grammar and the like
    I'm now needing some numbers to re-arrenge by themselves taking some criterias as reference. I don't know what I have to do, I just know the basic formulas and a very basic knowledge of 'if statements', so I'm naked on this.
    So... I have 3 cells, for example, A, B and C.
    · Cell A has an amount.
    · Cell B has an amount which is handled by Cell A through a formula in Cell B.
    · Cell C displays the total amount from Cell B (and other cells, but I think that doesn't matter right now), so values in Cell C dependes on a formula which sums   from other cells.
    So, the criteria is this:
    1. If value in Cell C is under 200, Cell B should increase its value till Cell C reaches amount = 200.
    2. If value in Cell C is above 200, Cell B should decrease its value till Cell C reaches amount = 200.
    3. Amount in Cell A should remain unaffected by these changes.
    The problems are: amount in Cell B is determined by the amount in Cell A plus a formula in Cell B.
    This is:
    1. Cell A has a number, for example, 20.
    2. Cell B has a formula which states that any value in Cell A must be multiplied by 2 and summed by 40 (=2*B4+40) without parentesis. The reason of this is because each increaement in Cell A should apply 2 increments in Cell B. So for example:
    Cell A = 20.
    Cell B = 50.
    If I increase A to 21; B is 52; if A=22; B=54; etc.
    Now the problem is that the number in Cell B increases a final amount in Cell C. And here is the main problem. Amount in Cell C must not go beyond 200. So the criteria is what I wrote above, in So, the criteria is this: "..."
    So well... I'm literally stuck there because I cannot make this work so if anybody knows, I'm all eyes.
    Ø3

    The problem you will find is that this is a circular reference.  The value of C depends on the value of B while, at the same time, the value of B depends on the value of C.  So you cannot do it the way you are thinking.
    If I understand what you said,
    A = an amount you enter by hand
    B = 2*A+10 + whatever it takes to get C to be exactly 200.
    C = B + some other cells.  I'll use C=B+D.
    So, the result will be:
    A = an amount you enter by hand
    C = 200 , also entered by hand. You want it to always be 200 so put that number in the cell.
    B = C-D
    However, this totally negates your original purpose of having B=2*A+10 (this formula is based on your example numbers for A and B). The value in A has no affect whatsoever on the value in B or C.
