Question about Date and Time formulas

Hi, I am new to Numbers, former Excel user. I have been able to use Numbers fine until I got stuck in trying to calculate paces. I am a triathlon coach and use pace for running. In Excel I could type pace in as a product of time. So if I want it to show 7:45, I would use date and time and punch in 12:07:45 and it would show up as 7:45. Then in the cells below, I could take that 7:45 cell and divide "/" by .8, etc and it would produce another pace (7:34 for example).
When I try the same thing in Numbers, it will produce the 7:45 by punching in 12:07:45, but it will not let me divide of multiply. It gives me the triangle and says "the operator / expects a number, but found 7:45. And will not divide or multiply. Anyone know a way around this?

kource,
Go to the Inspector and set the cell format to "Duration", with the units set to "Minutes".
Now, the cell value will appear "7:45", and when you set an adjacent cell and set it to .8 of this one, its value will be "6:12" (that is, 7:45 = 465 seconds; .8 of 465 is 372 seconds, or 6:12).
This is what you're looking for, correct?
Cheers,
Larry

  • A question about date and number formats

    Hi,
    I have to change date and number formats from USA to UK format. Is the only place I must do that in user settings (SU01) ? I mean, is this enough or are there any other customizing settings, in FI for example ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paulo

    I tested very much and the only place we should set it is on user settings

    There are several ways. One is to get the date from the php time() function and use that in your insert statement. Another is to use MySQL CURDATE() function. But probably the easiest and best is to simply define the default value for the date/time column as the current date/time and exclude it from the insert statement. No code changes necessary.

  • One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time!

    One question about Pricing and Conditions puzzle me for a long time.I take one example to explain my question:
    1-First,my sale order use pricing procedure RVAA01.
    2-Next,the pricing procedure RVAA01 have some condition type,such as EK01(Actual Costs),PR00(Price)....,and so on.
    3-Next,the condition type PR00 define the Access Sequences PR00 as it's Access Sequences.
    4-Next,the Access Sequences PR00 have some Condition tables,such as:
         table 118 : "Empties" Prices (Material-Dependent)
         table 5 : Customer/Material
         table 6 : Price List Type/Currency/Material
         table 4 : Material
    5-Next,I need to maintain Condition tables's Records.Such as the table 5(Customer/Material).I guess the sap would supply one screen for me to input the data of table 5.At this screen,the sap would ask me to select one table,such as table 5.When I select the table 5,the sap would go to the screen to let me input the data of table 5.But when I use the T-CODE VK31 or VK32 to maintain Condition tables's Record,I found it's total different from my guess:
    A-First,I can not found one place for me to open the table,such as table 5,to let me input the data?
    B-Second,For example,when I select the VK31->Discounts/Surcharges->By Customer/Material,the sap show the grid view at the right side.At the each line of the grid view,you need to select the Condition Type at the first field.And this make me confused very much.Why the sap need me to select one Condition Type but not the Condition table?To the normal logic,it ought not to select Condition table but not the Condition Type!
    Dear all,I'm a new one in sd.May be this is a very stupid question.But it did puzzle me for a long time.If any one can  explain this question in detail and let me understand the concept,I will appreciate him/her very much.Thank you.

    Hi,
    You said that you are using the T.codes VK31 or VK32.
    These transaction codes are used to enter condition records for standard condition types. As you can see a grid left side having all the standard condition types like price, discounts, taxes, frieghts.
    Pl check using T.code VK11 OR VK12 (change mode)
    Here you can enter the required condition type, in the intial screen. (like PR00, MWST, K004, K005 .....etc)
    After giving the condition type, press enter or click on Combinations icon on top of the screen. Then you can see all the condition tables which you maintained for that condition type. Like as you said table 118, table 5, table 6 and table 4.
    You can select any table and press enter, then you can go into the screen in which you have all the field cataglogues you maintained for that table. For example you selected combination of Customer/Material (table 5) then after you press enter then you can see customer field on top, and material fields.
    You can give all the required values and save the conditon record.
    Hope this is clear.
    REWARD IF HELPFUL.

  • In Numbers, how do I lock in the date and time data when an IF/THEN formula is used with the "NOW" function?

    In Numbers, how do I lock in the date and time data when an IF/THEN formula is used with the "NOW" function?
    =IF(I127,NOW()," ")
    I127 equals a check box. The formula retuns a value of the current date and time when a check is placed in the box. How does one lock that date and time so that it cannot be changed?

    I don't think it is possible to lock in the date and time using a formula. You could put NOW() in a cell, copy, and Edit Paste Formula Results where you want the result.
    Or if you are "time stamping" a lot, you may find this Automator Service (Dropbox download) helpful. It puts a "Today" function (actually it should be named "Now" because it includes both date and time) in your Services menu like this:
    Just doubleclick the .workflow package to install it. You may have to click "download anyway" in System Preferences > Privacy & Security.
    If you want you can assign the service a keyboard shortcut in System Preferences here:

  • When I create a calendar, in iphoto 8, I had an information pane lower left corner with date and time of the picture. Can it possibly be that the iphoto developers forgot about that in iphoto 9? This was very helpful when placing images according to date.

    Today I updated to the latest iphoto version. The update itself went smooth and nice as one is used to from Apple. But when I wanted to finish my already started calendar, I have encountered two problems. The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto. Instead I have to open the iphtoto library in aperture but then my calendar isn't there. So now I have to copy images back and forth. No problem.
    However, the old iphoto had a small information area in the lower left corner which was very nice to place images on an exact date. This seems to be gone...?? Really? How am I supposed to sort images according to date and time when I have to back to the library view every time? That's not very convenient..Or am I missing something?
    Thanks for ANY help!

    The first is that I can't view the aperture library anymore directly from iphoto.
    THat is exceeding strange since iPhoto '08 could not open or share an Aperture library - that ability was first introduced in iPhoto '11 - with the latest version of iPhoto and or Aperture you can open the same library with either application - http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5043
    In the current version of iPhoto the photos are sorted by date in the film strip - I've not recently done a calendar so do not remember the specifics -

  • Date and time stamp question

    Is there a way to drag the "date and time stamp" to my project all at once, or do I have to continue to drag it to each individual section of my project?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    I don't find any function module, but it does'nt really hard to code this using DIV and MOD instructions :
    If you've got your time in seconds :
    w_day = w_time DIV 86400.
    w_mod = w_time MOD 86400.
    w_hour = w_mod DIV 3600.
    w_mod = w_mod MOD 3600.
    It doesn't seem too bad in term of performance....

  • Cannot view the detailed Email date and time about the meeting request

    Hi,I am unable to view the detailed message and Date and time of a meeting request in the default Email app in my Sony Xperia P mobile. Even when i select the calender it does not defaultly go to the meeting date. I need to manually select the date to see the meeting. I cannot see the meeting details without accepting it.I have seen the better behaviors on HTC One V and Galaxy Nexus where full meeting details including message, Date, time, venue appears in the meeting request message.Is there any setting which needs to be changes or is it the limitation of the phone app.Regards,Pratik Ranjan

    Hi Johan,Im also seeing this on my xperia s, ICS.  Here's some additional info i have after some testing:Work have Exchange 2010, I have sent calendar invites from outlook 2007 and 2010 clients and it works for the 2007 clients as it automatically adds the meeting details into the body of the request, something it doesn’t do in 2010, so it may be the way the calendar form has changed in 2010.   It also works fine when i get an invite from an external person.This however is just adding the text into the body, I too have tested with the HTC One S and Samsung Galxay S3, bith use the stock email and both display the time as part ofthe invite no tin the body of the invite,
    In doing the testing I have also found another issue. I have found that it doesn’t inform you of a calendar conflict.ThanksMike

  • Unable to insert date and time when using date datatype

    Hi
    I am hitting a bit of a problem when using the date datatype. When trying to save a row to the table where the field it throws an error ora 01830 and complains about converting the date format picture ends...etc. Now when I do the insert, I use the to_date function with the format of "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss". Of course, when I remove the time element, everything is perfect.
    Checking sysdate, I noticed that the time element wasn't be displayed, and I used alter session set nls_date_format to set the date and time I want to save to the table, which worked!
    Then based on advice in a previous thread to permanently fix the problem, I used alter system set nls_date_format ="dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss" scope=spfile; This showed that it was altered, and I can see the setting in the em. In sqlplus, I shutdown the database, and restarted with startup mount; alter database open; and then selecting sysdate, it still shows the date as dd-mon-yy, and still no time! Checking the em, and looking up the nls_date_format the setting is still shown as "dd-mon-yyyy hh24:mi:ss".
    So, my question is this - what am I doing wrong? Why can't save date and time using date in Oracle 11g?????
    Thanks

    ThanksYou most certainly can save the time. A DATE column, by definition stores date and time. What you describe is a presentation problem, and setting nls_date_format at the system as an init parm is the weakest of all settings as it is overridden by several other locations.
    without seeing the exact sql that produced the error (not just your description of what you think you were doing) it is impossible to say for sure.
    However, I'd suggest you read http://edstevensdba.wordpress.com/2011/04/07/nls_date_format/

  • DVD camcorder (VIDEO_TS) - preserve clip date and time

    I had asked this question on the forums a long time ago but iMovie did not seem to be supporting it reliably at the time. But since some time has passed, I wanted to check if iMovie '09 can import clips from a mini DVD (those used in camcorders to capture video directly on to DVD media) AND preserve the clip's date and time.
    What I see is that the first clip gets some date and time related to the event's date and time (perhaps the start time of the first clip?) but all the other clips which are imported, get timestamps of 1 second after that first clip's timestamp.
    These are all my home videos and in order to keep each clip short, I have had the habit of pausing after about a minute or two, resulting in MANY clips over MANY DVD's, so manually updating date and time is absolutely the last resort.
    The DVD player can see the clip date and time correctly, and so could the camcorder (I have since sold the darn thing!) so I know that information exists somewhere in the DVD, but it seems like iMovie is unable to "see" it.
    Any help would be appreciated, including programmability hints.

    Thank you for your post.  I figured out why iMovie was assigning today's date to everything that I imported.  It turns out that many of my video files did not have a real "created" date--some had no date at all and some had Wednesday, December, 1967 or 9 (I think).  iMovie defaulted today's date in both of these situations.  I took your advice and ot A Better Finder Attribute and easily converted all of the files using the option to copy the "modified date" into the "created date" attribute.  Now everything imports correctly into iMovie.

  • Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 (SP6) errors

    One of our functioning VBA projects in Outlook 2010, running under Windows 7 Professional (64-bit), unexpectedly stopped functioning a few months ago. When running the VBA macro we started receiving the compile error message:
    "Object library invalid or contains references to object definitions that could not be found"
    PROBLEM FORM CONTROL:  The message was extremely frustrating because it gave no detailed indication of the source of the problem.  With a little research, however, we found that the
    Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 (SP6), on a userform accessed by the macro, was generating the error.  A number of older articles, such as the one included below, indicated that we needed
    to re-register the MSCOMCT2.OCX form control, which we did successfully (as did the original author in his question link below).  Unfortunately, as the original author found, simply re-registering the form control did not resolve the problem.
    UNRESOLVED QUESTIONS:
    1. Does anyone know why this functioning control would unexpectedly cease to function?
    2. Can anyone help us restore the functionality of the 'Microsoft Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 (SP6)'?
    3. How come the form control is listed in the object library, is available in the 'Additional Controls' dialog, and can be inserted into a form, without any indication that it is broken?
    SUPPORT ENGINEER RUN-AROUND:  Another frustration is that a responding support engineer, in the prior article, keeps referring the author back to this forum, yet the question is apparently never answered back here in
    the TechNet forum (which ironically refers us back to the original article in the other forum - a game of musical chairs!).
    We suspect that the solution to this problem may be similar to resolving this issue for other similar form controls in other Office 2010 application, not just Outlook.  After several years, and a myriad questions on the internet regarding
    this exact subject, is there someone who can definitively resolve this issue with this control?
    Thank you for any help.

    Hi,
    Would you like to tell me your Excel version number (Go to Account>About Excel). I tested in my version :15.0.4569.1504 and the Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 still could be used.
    Then,>> My PC is 64 bit.  I believe my version of Office is also 64 bit.<<  Office 2013 32 bit also could be installed in 64bit operation system. We could check it with Account>About Excel.
    Next, as you said >>After I exited 'Design Mode,' it started working again.  I tested it, along with my 'Clear Form' button multiple times.  It seemed to be working fine.  I closed the document and reopened it.  Enabled Macros. 
    When I tried to use it after reopen, it doesn't work again.<< 
    I recommend we recreate a new blank Excel file and insert the Date and Time Picker Control 6.0 to test.
    If it still does not work well, please try to reinstall and re-registry it. Follow the link:

    If it works well, I suppose this issue is related to macros. I recommend you post the question to MSDN forum to debug them:
