Numbers keep changing my formula

I have a large Numbers sheet that is used to create graphs that analyze data in different ways. I dump the numbers into sheet 1, table 1 and then the subsequent sheets calculate averages, and further back create charts based on those averages.
Here's my trouble. For example on Sheet 3, I may want to run an average on the data from sheet one, so I create the formula:
=AVERAGE(Sheet1 :: Table 1 :: B4:B20). Everything works fine. I create the charts, save the whole thing as a PDF, and it looks great.
Then the trouble begins. I paste a new set of data numbers on sheet 1. When I go to sheet 3, the formula has changed to:
=AVERAGE((Sheet1 :: Table 1 :: B3,Sheet1 :: Table 1 :: B5:B20))
So it starts on a new row, and skips a row in the middle. The row it skips is not even always the same row.
Any help would be appreciated.

The problem is from sorting. I'm guessing you are sorting by a column other than B.
There are some recent posts about sorting, one of which was from this week. You have misunderstood what absolute referencing does and doesn't do. It is absolute when it comes to copy/pasting of formulas from one cell to another but it isn't absolute when it comes to sorting. It is apparently a common misunderstanding. Bottom line is that when Numbers sorts, all cell references follow the cells around to wherever they end up. So if you had a reference to $A$1 and cell A1 gets moved to A5 during a sort, all the $A$1 references will now point to $A$5.
You have two possible solutions:
1) If you are averaging everything in column B, use "B" instead of "B4:B20".
2) Use INDIRECT. Instead of AVERAGE(B4:B20) use AVERAGE(INDIRECT("B4:B20"))

How do I change the default program setting when I download a file. Numbers keeps opening the file intended for Quicken.

For example; Numbers keeps opening downloaded files intended for Quicken. I can change the program to open the download, but I can't find a way to make the change be the default.

In Finder locate a file you're having trouble with, highlight the file and type Command I (I as in Ivan). In the box called Open With choose the app you want to use to open the file with. Right below that you will see Use this apps to open all documents like this one then click the button right below that calledChange All.

How do i change my telephone numbers keeps asking for a valid one??

how do i change my telephone numbers keeps asking for a valid one??

If you simply chose the wrong phone number setting Messages up on the iMac you just go back into it's settings and choose the right number.
If your iPhone number is not showing up under the preferences for Messages and FaceTime on your iMac you are logged into the wrong Apple ID on the iMac or your iPhone is not registered to that ID. With the info you give it sounds like you have multiple users using the same Apple ID in which you would have multiple phone numbers listed under the preferences on the iMac and iPhone.
I have found iCloud, Messages and Factime are easiest setup as each user having their own Apple ID. That's not to say it is impossible for multiple users to use one Apple ID. First you have to sign into the Apple ID on your iPhone which will register the number to that account. Set your iPhone's Messages and Facetime Settings to use it's phone number for send and receive. Then it should appear when you are trying to setup Messages on the iMac. Each user using the same Apple ID will have to be using their own numbers or email address so you may have to have other users uncheck your number. The problem with this setup is it is easy for others to start receiving your messages.

IMac keeps changing identity adding a number (x) behind byname-iMac

My iMac's computer name keeps changing automatically after
Yosemite upgrade
This started happening once I upgraded my iMac to Yosemite. It will add numbers to the name of my
iMac.
Example: It starts off as say "My iMac"
Then a half day later, it changes to "My iMac (2)"
Then the next day it will be "My iMac (3)"
And if I open the Finder window, it will show "My iMac" and "My iMac (2)" under "Shared" but if you click
on them, nothing happens.
When I go to System Preferences > Sharing the computer name will have the number there "My iMac (3)"
and say it can be found as MyiMac-3.local
If I change it back to just "My iMac", the number process starts all over again. I even tried naming the
iMac something it was never named before and the same process occurs with the adding of the numbers.
Anyone know how I can fix this?

This is a problem with Yosemite. Turning off all devices connected to your router, then rebooting the router by powering it off for a minute might correct the problem.

CHANGE_TRACKING_MIN_VALID_VERSION keeps changing even there are no changes in that table

Hi,
We use stored procedure like below to get the data on intial load as well as subsequent changes. The underllined part of the stored procedure to get the last_sync_version is slightly different from what Microsoft has suggested. (not using CHANGE_TRACKING_CURRENT_VERSION).
That is because we download data to staging from multiple sources and from their we want to process data from one source at a time (DATA_SOURCE_KEY filter).
What we notice is that, when there is no data for a table for sometime, once the change tracking gets purged for that table, we keep hitting the condition @LastVersionId <@MinVersionId. The MIN_VALID_VERSION keeps changing even though there is no change
in that table. Looks like the MIN_VALID_VERSION is a global number and not specific to a table. Is there a problem with the way we are getting the @Next_Version. Can we use the CHANGE_TRACKING_CURRENT_VERSION even though we want to download subset of data
from the table (only records matching for one data_source_key at a time). Appreciate your answers.
CREATE PROCEDURE [dbo].[PDW_GetSiteDVAudit](@DataSourceKey AS INT,@LastVersionID AS BIGINT, @NextVersionID AS BIGINT OUTPUT)
AS
BEGIN TRY
BEGIN TRANSACTION
BEGIN
DECLARE @MinVersionID bigint = 0, @max_version bigint = 0;
SELECT @NextVersionID = 0;
SET @MinVersionID = CHANGE_TRACKING_MIN_VALID_VERSION(OBJECT_ID('dbo.SiteDVAudit'));
IF (@LastVersionID < @MinVersionID)
BEGIN
SELECT @NextVersionID = isnull(MAX(SYS_CHANGE_VERSION),@MinVersionID) from CHANGETABLE(CHANGES SiteDVAudit , NULL) CT where DataSource_Key = @DataSourceKey
SELECT
s.Id,
Site_Id ,
SiteDesc,
Deleted,
Local_Id,
s.DataSource_Key,
Data_Task_Id
FROM
dbo.SiteDVAudit s
WHERE
s.DataSource_Key = @DataSourceKey
END
ELSE
BEGIN
SELECT @NextVersionID = isnull(MAX(SYS_CHANGE_VERSION),@LastVersionID) from CHANGETABLE(CHANGES SiteDVAudit , @LastVersionID) CT where DataSource_Key = @DataSourceKey
SELECT
s.Id,
Site_Id ,
SiteDesc,
Deleted,
Local_Id,
s.DataSource_Key,
Data_Task_Id
FROM
dbo.SiteDVAudit s
RIGHT OUTER JOIN
CHANGETABLE(CHANGES SiteDVAudit, @LastVersionID) CT
ON s.Id = CT.Id AND
s.DataSource_Key = CT.DataSource_Key
WHERE
s.DataSource_Key = @DataSourceKey
END
END
COMMIT TRANSACTION
END TRY
BEGIN CATCH
ROLLBACK TRANSACTION
RETURN -1
END CATCH

My first observation is that you don't reraise the error in the CATCH handler. That is bad, because it makes the proceedure fail silently which may be very difficult to troubleshoot.
The version numbers for Change Tracking are indeed database-global. MIN_VALID_VERSION can be different for different tables, if they have different retention periods. But if they all have the same retention period, it seems likely that MIN_VALID_VERSION
would increase as the database moves on.
I'm not sure about your question Can we use the CHANGE_TRACKING_CURRENT_VERSION even though we want to download subset of data from the table (only records matching for one data_source_key at a time). Where would you use it? How would you use
it?

Multicast IP address keep changing on music on hold

Hi
I am trying to set up multicast for music on hold on the cucm 9.
on the cucm, I enable multicast audio sources on MOH server, using base IP 239.1.1.1, and set increment multicast on " ip address"
however the multicast IP address keep changing, sometimes its 239.1.1.1, then after a while it suddenly change to 239.1.1.2 etc..
here is the config on our srst router ( which specify the multicast ip is 239.1.1.1):
is there any way that the multicast ip do not keep changing as its affecting the MOH at the moment.

Hi Rachel,
If the Increment Multicast on radio button is set to IP address, each MOH audio source and codec combination is multicast to different IP addresses but uses the same port number. If it is set to Port Number, each MOH audio source and codec combination is multicast to the same IP address but uses different destination port numbers.

My settings keep changing

Hello,
every time i open my firefox, the settings have change. Specifically, the startup page: it starts up where i left off, even tough i don't want this. I want google as my startup page, and it keeps changing this. I already updated to the latest version, but this problem still continues. Please help!
Kind regards,
Brooke Weise

I think the saved settings in user.js overrides your settings
Here is what you can do
Note that there shouldn't be numbered sessionstore-##.js files in the Firefox profile folder, so best is to remove all those numbered files.
http://kb.mozillazine.org/Multiple_profile_files_created
Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).
Do NOT click the Reset button on the Safe Mode start window.
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Safe+Mode
https://support.mozilla.org/kb/Troubleshooting+extensions+and+themes
You can check for problems with preferences.
Delete a possible user.js file and numbered prefs-##.js files and rename (or delete) the prefs.js file to reset all prefs to the default value including prefs set via user.js and prefs that are no longer supported in the current Firefox release.

My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.

My Photosmart D100a wireless printer keeps changing IP Address when router reboots.
This question was solved.
View Solution.

Let's set a static IP address for the printer:
- Print a Network Config Page from the front of the printer. Note the printer's IP address.
- Type that IP address into a browser to reveal the printer's internal settings.
- Choose the Networking tab, then Wireless along the left side, then the IPv4 tab.
- On this screen you want to set a Manual IP. You need to set an IP address outside the range that the router automatically sets (called the DHCP range). If you do not know the range, change the last set of numbers (those after the last '.') to 250
- Use 255.255.255.0 for the subnet (unless you know it is different, if so, use that)
- Enter your router's IP (on the Network Config Page) for the gateway.
- Enter 8.8.8.8 for the first DNS and 8.8.4.4 for the second DNS.
- Click 'Apply'.
Now, shut down the router and printer, start the router, wait, then start the printer.
After this you may need to redo 'Add a Printer' using the new IP address.

Status keeps changing from invisible to online: why the issue is ignored?

There is a serious issue raised in the parallel thread, which is critical for many people: "Status keeps changing from invisible to online" (initiated on ‎16-11-2014 by b.agne, Mac section). In short, when starting using a device, the Skype status changing from "invisible" to "online" - sometimes just for a moment, though enough for others to notice you. These affects very much any type of devices. I am sure the issue has already led to multiple personal crisises and potentially financial losses due to buseness partnership issues (I came close to that myself, and now use anything but Skype for business). The question is: WHY the issue is completely ignored by Skype, Microsoft and expert comunity? Please post the solution if anybody knows how to fix the issue, or suggest how to make Microsoft to know that it should be fixed. Kind regard...

Hi, I also have the same issue. I change the status to Invisible and a later on it is already as "Online", without having even touched/opened Skype. The only way that I see this may happen is that I have the app installed on the smartphone, but before it never had this issue, but from some month ago it started. Any correction or suggestion to work around this issue? Regards

I have a mac pro, an ipad2 and now an ipod touch. Problem is my apple ID password is not recognized, and I cannot download or purchase applications. I have had to keep changing my password than it doesn't accept the new one either??? It says it's a year o

I just bought an ipod touch and am trying to make an application purchase on it and to use icloud to transfer to my ipad or laptop.
I cannot sign in. the password is never accepted. How do I get into applications to purchase or download some of what I have on my ipad?
This sign in on the ipod touch has the address computerservice1614.com I don't even know what that is. I signed in with my apple ID but had to keep changing the password because the ipod won't accept any of them. I am feeling so frustrated and wishing I didn't buy the ipod. Anyone know how to deal with this. I am so tired of trying. This is my second day of trying.

I would restore the iPod to factory defaults/new iPod on your computer and start over. It appears the iPod is associated with another account. Any media that came with the iPod does not belong to you and di not transfer with the iPod hardware.
