Numbers less than 0

I am new to Numbers and have a cell that subtracts the values of one cell from another. If the sum ends up being less than "0" how can I make that value "0".
The equations in the cell is currently:
=SUM('8” Ordered' Red-'8” Delivered' Red)
or
=SUM(B2-C2)
The resulting value is (15) however I need it to be "0".

Hi -- the forum is a great way to learn new techniques
I offer two solutions:
IF(B2-C2<0,0,B2-C2)
If the difference is negative, the result is 0, otherwise it is the positive result.
or
IF(B2<C2,0,B2-C2)
If I subtract a larger number from a smaller number enter 0, otherwise enter the difference

Can't add numbers greater than 100 in the Data Editor for a column chart

I'm trying to create a column chart in Keynote '09 but every time I add a data point with a value greater than 100 in the Data Editor it turns the number into a date. I have the Y Axis set to "Number" and it works fine for numbers less than 100 but I want to show a graph that goes from 0 - 1000. Is this happening to anyone else?
Chart Settings:
Y Axis Options:
- Max = 1000
- Steps = 5
- Format = Number
X Axis Options
- Show Axis
- Show Categories
- No Tick Marks
thanks in advance for the help

Welcome to the discussions, AlexEberts.
No, it's not happening for me. This is what I'm doing
1) Insert -> Chart -> Column
2) In the Data editor, for 2007, I enter 110.
The chart automatically expands to 110 (because, by default, it's set to autosize the Y-axis)
Does this work for you? If it does, then we can look at why it doesn't work when you add parameters.

I need to get 2 decimal places when using a formula for a quotient and Numbers will only give me whole integers which is useless since most items will be less than 1. How can I change this?

How do I get 2 decimal places when using a formula for a quotient? It only gives me whole integers. Most of the results will be less than 1 so I need 2 decimal places

the quotient function returns only whole number portion of the dividing two numbers. If you want the actual decimal value use the divide operator. you enter this as:
A/B
if the numerator is in A1 and the denominator is in B1 you can enter the formula like this:
=A1/B1

I'm using numbers for my students grades. the passing grade is 30 points. what i want to happen is that very students with a grade of less than 30 will have their points it red color. does the IF function can do this? how?

Hi efren
Conditional format will do this.

Numbers '08 "If" with a greater or less than answer

Hi all - I have a cell with a sum D & E28 (merged cell) that I want another cell B30 to display a value based on what is in cell D & E28.
If cell D & E28 is 8 or less I want B30 to say 8. If D & E28 is greater than 8.001 but less than 12 I want B30 to say 12 and if D & E28 is greater than 12.001 but less then 18 I want B30 to say 18
Any ideas?
Thanks
Peter

pdmjr,
=IF(ROUND(D28,3)<=8.001, 8, IF(ROUND(D28,3)<=12.001, 12, IF(ROUND(D28,3)<=18, 18, "Over 18")))
should do it for you.
The nested IF statements handle your logic. The ROUND statements handle internal math errors and your need to break at .001. You didn't say what to do with inputs of 18 or greater, so I suggested a text string for that case.
The form of the IF statement is: If (logical statement) is True, Then do this, Else do this. Your case requires three tests. You could quibble about a value that is, say, 12.0011 and rounds to 12.001, but I doubt you are concerned about that level of detail. If so let me know.
Does this help?

Jerry

I know it works in Adobe 9.

Find row number of first cell in a relative range that is less than $B$3

Thanks for any help. I've spent hours searching, trying, and reading iWork Help
Example: $B$3 = 3
Column C
1: 9
2: 2
3: 9
4: 2
5: 3
6: 9
7: 9
Find the first occurrence that is less than $B$3 (=3) in the range C3:C6. Return the row # (relative to the range, or actual row number, I don't care)
Fill Down the formula, so the next cell looks at the range C4:C7
In this case, I want it to return Row 4 (not 5 or 2)
Tried this with MATCH (last argument -1 or 1) which almost works, but if it finds an exact match, it returns that row (5) instead of the first one (4)

The single formula in D2, filled down that column, returns the row number of every row where the value in column C is less than or equal to the value in $B$3.
The second formula, which I placed in B4, but which can go wherever it's needed, searches a limited range of column D for the minimum value in that range.
In the example, based on your initial question, the range is three cells. In B4, it's D2:D4; in B5 it's D3:D5, etc., with Numbers automatically adjusting the cell references as the formula is filled down the column. In each case, the formula returns the minimum value it finds in the three cell range, which is the row number on which the value in column C first meets the condition (less than or equal to $B$3) within that three cell range.
In the second example, the formula retrieves the same value (the row number) as above, but instead of displaying it, uses it as the row-offset value in an OFFSET statement to return the Date from the row where the row number was collected.
NOTE: Looking back at it, I see that in my rush to other duties I made an error in this formula, setting the row offset too high. Revise the formula as shown below to get the date from the correct row:
Existing: =IF(MAX(D2:D4)=0,"",OFFSET($A$1,MIN(D2:D4),0))
Revised: =IF(MAX(D2:D4)=0,"",OFFSET($A$1,MIN(D2:D4)-1,0))
You wrote:
If I'm following the logic, it would require one column (like D in this example) for every set of rows searched (in my example, B5:B15 filled down, so the next search is B6:B16 and so on).
No. Provided the values of X and Y are constant for each set of searches, you'll need an auxiliary column for each column of values to be searched. One auxiliary column is used to mark the rows in which the value in B meets the condition ">x", the second to mark the rows where the value in C meets the condition "<y".
The search formula (above) searches a subset of its column and returns the lowest row number where the condition for that column is met,and either displays that number or uses it to return and display a date.

How to make stills duration less than 00:00:00:01 ?

Hi,
This may seem an odd request, but I have a sequence of several stills of a propeller blade on a model, sort of time lapse, move and photo etc, which when played together rotates the prop. They are currently set to 00:00:00:01 and play loop sees a very slow rotation. I thus need to make them even less than that duration. Is that possible and how is it done ? They currently form the project. R/click duration and altering 01 to 001 doesnt work, the last two numbers being frame number and 25fps is the project value.
Perhaps I need to make the project more than 25fps, so that 00:00:00:01 which means 1 frame I presume, will be seen as far less of a second than 1/25th ? How do I set project to a higher fps if this is the solution ? Then would I save out or export the finished film as a 25fps clip to use elsewhere ?
I also found it silly that I had to right click on each stills clip in timelie and choose duration. I tried selecting all of them and r/click duration but duration was greyed out. If I had a lot there, surely there must be a way of making all their durations the same amount at once ?
I am unable to zoom the timeline to drag their size less.
Envirographics

Hi,
Thanks for the sugestions.
I have not yet transferred a Sequence, I have created a second sequence and dragged it out as a floating window, then dragged a selection box across my stills and dragged them over to it, but no doubt this isnt the way to make them all a combined duration of say 1 frame. They still have separate properties. How is it done such that I can give them as you say one duration for the entire lot.
AE no doubt is After Effects. another purchase. Working on it !

Restrict the LONG RAW Column with less than 32760 bytes in the SELECT

When i am trying to access a LONG RAW Dataype wchich has characters greter than 32760 bytes i am getting this error.
Error -6502: ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error
I came to know that PL/SQL will only be able to access the first 32760 bytes of a LONG RAW. If we try to fetch a LONG RAW from the database into PL/SQL variable which exceeds the 32760 byte limit then we encountered the above error.
Can anyone tell to avoid this error can we write a query to restrict the output to get only those records which has LONG RAW length less than 32760 bytes.
Since we canot use utl_raw.length() in the Select Statement, is there any function to restrict the the records for less than 32760 Bytes only for LONG RAW datatype, so that i will not get any records for more than 32760 bytes and we will not get this error.
REquest you to please help.

Hi
we do not have an option of migrating the LONG RAW to BLOB or any kind of ALTER to the table.
We want to restrict the use of Records from the Table which has data for LONG RAW column less than 32760 bytes, so that we will not get the PL/SQL numberic Error
any function for LONG RAW that can be used in SQL like for varchar2 we can use
select length(NAME) < 100 from tb_emp+
i.e it will get records only which has NAME less than 100 characters.

Form has missing values when the database sourced column is less than 0

Hello,
I have Apex 4.0. I am making a very simiple form on a table with lots of number columns. When I go into the form linked from a report, it pulls all of the values in from the table for a certain row except for the numbers that are less than 1. Very strange.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mark

No, there is, for sure, no such restriction, Mark. To convince yourself of this, just manually add a Page Item to your form. Set "Display As" to number field and set the default to -999. It will display -999.
Could it be a mismatch between the data type of your source SELECT and the "Display As" on the form field? On the main report, what is the data type for the corresponding column?
On the field, is the Source Type "Database Column" and is the "Source value or expression" set to the correct, corresponding column name?Also
When I go into the form linked from a report, it pulls all of the values in from the tableHow does this happen?
Any other processes run on page rendering?

Less than 450 minutes?

I have the talk/text/data plan with unlimited all three to other vzw custs and unlimited web with 450 minutes to non vzw numbers. On average, I use less than 100 non-vzw minutes. Is there a way to get a plan with less than the 450 minutes, to lower my bill? I definitely want to keep unlimited data as long as I can and unlimited text because I use these a lot but I feel I'm paying for 450 minutes of non Verizon minutes and using a fraction of that. And I looked online and didn't see any plans with less minutes. If anyone has any info on how or if I can lower this at all I'd appreciate it, thank you.

>>
They could offer a plan of less than 450 minutes, but it may not come with free VZW to VZW calls.
Much like those who have a family plan with 1400 minutes. They get 10 numbers to call for free. Many say they never use their 1400 minutes, can they have a less minute plan, BUT they still want those free numbers.
With out the freebies, you would most likely use your minutes.
<<
I would prefer it. Because I am a low caller and even if there aren't significant freebies my count would still be less than 450 minutes per month. I am in fact wasting a good per centage of minutes every month.

Bug with less than in EL?

Less than comparision is behaving strange, I tried this:
<c:set var="minSum" value="99" />
<c:set var="sum" value="1000" />
<c:out value="${sum < minSum}" />
This displays "true" on the webpage, but should obiously display "false".
Is this a known bug?

Never mind, I figured it out.
I compared strings, I have to use numbers like this:
<fmt:parseNumber value="99" var="minSum"/>
<fmt:parseNumber value="1000 var="sum"/>
<c:out value="${sum < minSum}" />

Less than or equal to broken?

Download the vi and check out the internals, as they will explain exactly what I'm trying to do.
Briefly, I am writing a deMUX for a signal that has digital components
of 0.25V, 0.5V, 1V, 2V, and 4V. The max signal being 7.75V and the min
being 0V. For example, if the input is 0.25V, the 5 bit digital output
will be 00001; if the input is 0.50V, the digital output will be 00010;
if the input is 0.75, then the digital output will be 00011; ... and if
the input is 7.75, then the digital output will be 11111.
In order to make the system realistic I have added tolerances to the
search. So, the tolerance I picked is 0.1V (which is well less than the
required 1/2 of the smallest voltage increment of 0.25V, which is
0.125V). Thus, any of the 32 possible voltages +/- 0.1V should decode
correctly according to the <= circuit I have set up toward the
bottom of my while loop in the attached vi. It does work for most, but
it does not work for 1.1V, 2.1V, and 3.1V... and possibly some others.
For these listed numbers, the comparison acts as a less than, rather
than a less than or equal to.
Let me know if you need more information.
Cheers,
Joe

To solve your problem, all you need is to "quantize" the number to your smallest step (0.25 in your case) and convert it to an integer.
The attached code will probably produce the output you want.

Less than or greater than Decode Function

Can we use less than or greater than (relational operator) operator in decode function

Use Case instead.
Not sure if you need it in your resultset or your where clause.
Simple examples:
MHO%xe> with numbers as(
2 select 1 a, 3 b from dual union all
3 select 2 a, 3 b from dual union all
4 select 3 a, 3 b from dual union all

6 select 5 a, 3 b from dual
7 )
8 select 'QRY1'
9 ,      a
10 ,      b
11 from   numbers
12 where (case when a >= b then 1 end) = 1
13 union all
14 select 'QRY2'
15 ,      case when a < b then b else 0 end
16 ,      case when b < a then a else 0 end

User input formula variable with greater than/less than operators for KFG

Hello all,
I have used a formula in my query that is a difference of two key figures .For e.g:
Difference = tax from system A - tax from system B.
Now when the users run the report they should be prompted for the 'Difference' threshold for seeing the report say where difference is greater 100 or equal to 10 and so on.Currrently I have created a formula variable with 'user input' and created a 'condition' to display 'Difference' greater than the user entered value.
However,it is required to have various selection options for setting the threshold of difference.For e.g User should be able to set say 'equal to'/'greater than/less than/not equal to operator for 'difference' in the initial selection screen of the report.
With the current user-input formula variable I am not getting these 'greater than' etc operators.Any ideas on how to achieve this?

Ya know, that's all well and good ... BUT ... WHAT IF you do want to sort text type columns with Greater Than and Less Than operatiors??
SQL does it just Fine ... so WHY does APEX have the limit??? This is an Oracle BUG ... it SHOULD NOT limit the operators ... I realize "they" may be trying to be helpful with proper constraints to field searches ... but ... if SQL can do it, then ... no need for a limit.
EG ...
Show the records where
the "Begin_Year-Wk" data is less than or equal to "2009-09" AND
the "End_Year-Wk" data is greater than or equal to "2009-04"
... to give everything that was running in that 5 week period whether or not it starts within that time frame
I can run this query perfectly fine via SQL ... but not in APEX ... unless I reconvert a lot of strings back to numbers, and for sorting / formatting / explain-to-user purposes, I really don't want them to be numbers.
So ... there's gotta be a hidden tweak for operators somewhere ...
