Possible to show last file-save date in a cell?

I have a Numbers spreadsheet showing various account balances.
(I manually look up those account balances on banking websites, then copy & paste the values into the approriate cells.)
I'd like to include a cell that shows the date on which the file was most recently changed.
So that I can have something like this:
My Account Balances:
Note: This document was last modified on:
Feb 27, 2014
Right now I manually enter the date when I update it. So that if I update the numbers today, and print it out next week, it still shows the correct data when it was last updated.
The problem with manually updating that date is that sometimes I update the account balances, but forget to manually change the date.
I can't use the "=TODAY()" function because that will automatically always show the current date, even if I haven't modified the file in a week.
Is there a date function that will always show the date when I last hit "Save"?

The script below will put the date last modified onto the clipboard for pasting into your cell, perhaps saving you a trip to Finder Get Info, Jerry's reliable method.
I don't know how to make it fully automatic so that it runs immediately upon opening a document, though there may be a way that the true AppleScript mavens would know.
You would need to run it before making any changes to a document you have just opened. (Or of course, if you remember, you can run it and paste the value in before closing.)
SG
--places date a document was last modified on the clipboard for pasting into Numbers 3
tell application "Numbers" to tell front document to set thePath to its file
tell application "Finder" to set modDate to modification date of file thePath
tell application "System Events" to set the clipboard to date string of modDate
--end of script

PSE8 File Save Date Wrong

When I save files in PSE8 Editor the date is not that day's date. It is random. My PC's date and time is correct.
System: HP Elite HPE-210f AMD Phenom II 945 Quade Core.
Can anyone tell me what's wrong and how to fix?

I will try your suggestion about adding it to the organizer. I understand about overwriting the file but not the properties.
New PC with a new PSE8 a few months ago. The issue may have been there from the outset but only started noticing the date discrepancies three weeks ago. I have not found a pattern or a solution.

How can you determine a file creation date and know if it's been altered since the creation date

I need to know how to determine a file creation date on an ipad. If someone creates a document/note on an ipad how can you tell when it was created and if it has been altered since?

Unless you are using a third party app that provides that functionality, in iOS the only thing youcan access is the last edit/save date and time, which is fairly evident in the user interface for documents and notes. Some apps that handle MS Office files may provide that, but ican't say first hand.

How to Show last 6 months?

Hi Guys,
I have a report that must show the last 6 months.
If you open the report let's say on the 02.02.2010, this report must have the following columns and the following order:
Jan 2010 - Dec 2009 - Nov 2009 - Oct 2009 - Sep 2009 - Aug 2009.
Is it possible to create a variable that can accomodate this request to show last six months dates whenever the report is run?
regards,
BW.

create a date object in universe to get the date in required format and create filter on universe side to filter data for last six month from current date.
e.g. filter
date1 between current_date and add_months(current_date,-6)

Prevent File Save Dialog appearing?

I have been using Excel 2010 to create Word Documents and then use .SaveAs to save the newly created file without any issues
When I moved to Office 2013 the same code now presents a File Save dialog box.
I have researched the issue and can find no way to prevent the Dialog appearing (and worse regardless of the user selection the Excel code crashes)
The following is a simplified version of the troublesome code
Sub TestWordSaveAs2()
Dim InvoiceProFormaFileName As Variant
Dim NewFileName As String
Dim WordApplication As Object
Dim WordDoc As Object
' Prompt for a word document
InvoiceProFormaFileName = Application.GetOpenFilename(FileFilter:="Word Documents, *.docx", Title:="Any Word File", MultiSelect:=False)
Set WordApplication = CreateObject("Word.Application")
Set WordDoc = WordApplication.Documents.Open(InvoiceProFormaFileName) ' Open the pro-forma invoice
' Create a new name
NewFileName = Replace(InvoiceProFormaFileName, ".docx", "2.docx")
WordDoc.SaveAs2 Filename:=NewFileName, FileFormat:=16, AddtoRecentFiles:=False ' <======= this line Shows the File Save Dialog and then fails
WordDoc.Close SaveChanges:=0 ' wdDoNotSaveChanges
' Finished with the Word Application so can close
WordApplication.Quit
End Sub
Thank you in advance

Hi,
I have create a doc file and a excel file in my pc, after I run the code you have provided ,and choose the doc file I just created, it runs without any save dialog. And My Office is Pro Plus 2013 .
I have upload my sample to OneDrive, you can download it here:
http://1drv.ms/1DhnMe5
When you run this sample, will this show the save dialog again ?
To narrow down this issue, can you create a new empty word and choose it in the excel, does it will happen again? if it is convenient, can you share the doc file you're using? Have you update your office ?

Problem with Save data with report

Post Author: ramprosoft
CA Forum: General
Hi,
I am new to CR and using Crystal Reports XI with SQL Server 2000.
I'm not able to remove the saved data in a report. I have played around different options, but unfortunately I'm not able to remove the data. I have checked variouse places in web above this issue not able to find a solution, so decided to open a new post. The problem is :
I have created a simple report and saved with-out data (1st version) the file size was 16KB. After few changes I have saved the same report with Data, the file size become 1065 KB. Its perfect and I can view the report in Report Viewer. Great Stuff!. Now the Testing completed, I would like to move this report to production environment, I notice that I'm unable to remove the data. I have played around various tricks like below, but it didnt work well.
Trick 1:
Uncheck: File->Options->Reporting (tab)->Save Data With Report.
Check: File -> Options -> Reporting (tab)->Discard Saved data on Open,
Uncheck: file-> Report Options -> Save Data With Report.
File -> Save Data with Report (Not selected)
Opened the report and try "save" and also tried "save as", still the size is 1065.
Trick 2:
I enabled all "Save Data with report" feature. Deleted all the rows in the table related to the query, previewed the report and Saved the report with "Save Data with report" featuer. But now, the funny part happen, the file size increased to 1070kb, instead of reducing. Worst Stuff!!!
Trick 3:
Updated the latest version of Patch and tried above tricks, still i'm not able to remove the data.
Appreciate, if you could help me to fix the problem.
thanks in advance

SatheeshSatheesh, I have a question for you. It is the same as the comment left on the article in the link that @user gave you. Like that link -- which doesn't work for all scenarios, how are you accounting for say the month of January? Without a "year" included, you cannot always "subtract 3" to get "3 months ago." Does "month" always correspond to the current year?
Finally, what are the values of the column the filter is to be applied? All these are important to know if you want help on this. Try again. Thanks.

Has Adobe Reader XI solved the File Save As Location issue

Hi, As has been mentioned on a few threads, Adobe Reader X did not remember the last File Save Location. And this causes a bit of angst amongst my users. Can anyone tell me if this has been fixed in XI. I don't have permision to downlaod and install to try it at work.

"Save as" doesn't have a default location. The base protocol for "Save as" enables a "browse" window by default in most ANY application.
"Save" will save the file in its original location, but there is no preference for "Saving as".

Just moved to Mac from Windows, so far biggest headache is the way folders are treated. I manage several very large websites and involve a lot of files within folders and I need the folders to show the date the last file inside it was changed?

In my FTP client I can click to sort by date modified which is fine if you are in a folder and then it shows the file dates correctly - but any folders within the root folder don't they seem to display randomly all together at the bottom of the list and it is a nightmare trying to find what folders have files in them that have been changed.
Is there any way to get the folder to register the last date of a file within it that was modified?

I dont know the answer yet, but i have noted what appears to be a bug in 10.9 in how it handles folder dates. Right now i am seeing folder modified dates changing randomly ot "today" - whatever date the parent folder was opened.
In the past my folders "modified" date was always the same as the last modified date of the items within. But this only moved down ONE level - if a subfolder's entries were updated the "gradfather" folder did not update.
But now severa people are reporting random, incorrect folder dates. I hoep this will be corrected soon, but who knows?

It's possible to make an adobe air with a php files to save data?

Hi,
I would to make a standalone version with Flash Adobe CS3.
How is it possible to make that? A other question, I have a php file to save the data from the user's answer, how is it possible to integrate this file to the air program?
Thanks for your answers and sorry for my english.

If you know where the page is at, I myself don't see any reason why you can't access it.
The only thing I could think was if Livejournal.com had a lock on the page or if you had to sign-in and your u/n and p/w had expired.
I'd say go ahead and at least try.

How can I do to acquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI without interruption.

I've attached a VI that I am using to acquire amplitude from Spectrum analyzerse. I tried to connect amplitude ouput to the VI Write Characters To File.vi and Write to Spreadsheet File.vi. Unfortunately when I run continual this VI without interruption, labview ask me many time to enter a new file name to save a new value.
So, How can I do to aquire and save date in the same time and in the same file when I run continual my VI for example during 10 min.
Thank you in advance.

Hi,
Your VI does work perfectly. Unfortunately this not what I want to do. I've made error in my last comment. I am so sorry for this.
So I explain to you again what I want to do exactly. I want to acquire amplitude along road by my vehicle. I want to use wheel signal coming from vehicle to measure distance along road. Then I acquire 1 amplitude each 60 inches from spectrum analyzer.
I acquire from PC parallel port a coded wheel signal coming from vehicle (each period of the signal corresponds to 12 Inches). Figure attached shows the numeric signal coming from vehicle, and the corresponding values “120” and “88” that I can read from In Port vi.
So I want to acquire 1 time amplitude from spectrum analyser each 5
period of the signal that I am acquiring from parallel port.
So fist I have to find how can I count the number of period from reading the values “120” and “88” that I am acquiring from In Port (I don’t know the way to count a number of period from reading values “120” and “88”).
Here is a new algorithm.
1) i=0 (counter: number of period)
2) I read value from In Port
3) If I acquire a period
i= i+1 (another period)
4) If i is multiple of 5 (If I read 5 period)
acquire 1 time amplitude and write to the same
file this amplitude and the corresponding distance
Distance = 12*i). Remember each period of signal
Corresponds to 12 Inches).i has to take these
values: 5,10,15,20,25,35,40,45,50,55,60............
5) Back to 2 if not stop.
Thank you very much for helping me.

Open/Save Dialog does not show new files?

Say you are working on a logic file in a folder and you have
a few audio and movie files in that folder, and you launch
Logic and via the open/save dialog window you add a few
files to your song and in that dialog window you can see
all the files in that folder.
Then, in the Finder you add a few more files and movies to
that folder and again use the open/save dialog window to
add more files BUT the new files you added since launching
logic are NOT SHOWN in the dialog window ! ?
What's the deal with that?
Every other app can show files added since the launch of the
application, why not Logic?
PowerBook G4 1GHz Mac OS X (10.3.9)

project manager
um, yeah.
Should not need the project manager simply to see new files added to a directory in a Open/Save dialog window since last opening the app.
I did a scan, a extended scan, opened all the little turn down arrows of the
full path to the directory I knew there to be the new files and yes, Logic
shows them there in the "Project manager".
BUT Logic still does not show the files in the Open/Save dialog windows.
This is strange because even simple app like TextEdit can show
new files in it's Open/Save dialog function windows without the need of
a project manager.
I have to quit and re-launch each time to see any new files?

Possible to show last file-save date in a cell?
