Syntax Error using Numbers

I keep getting a syntax error when I type this in...
=(B1/50)+(C1/12)-(MIN(D1, [4])+/5)
it is a formula to calculate weight watches points. here it is as seen on a website.
p=(c/50)+(f/12)-(min{r,4}/5)
p=points
c=calories
f=fat grams
r=dietary fiber
I have the cells so that b1 = calories, c1 = fat grams, and d1 = dietary fiber.
Can anyone point me in the right direction? I'm thinking its just a simple mistake that I am making. Thanks.

Have you looked at the replies to your other thread? You have several syntax errors for spreadsheets. What language is being used in the equation?

Syntax error in Numbers.

I try typing in this "=4,67+log(A2/(24,63-A2))" and get a syntax error.

Update.
Which LOG function do you mean? From the Function Button in Numbers:
Choose Show Function Browser.
The LOG function returns the logarithm of a number using a specified base.
LOG(pos-num, base)
pos-num: A positive number. pos-num is a number value and must be greater than 0.
base: An optional value specifying the base of the logarithm. base is a number value and must be greater than 0. If base is 1, a division by zero will result and the function will return an error. If base is omitted, it is assumed to be 10.
The LOG10 function returns the base-10 logarithm of a number.
LOG10(pos-num)
pos-num: A positive number. pos-num is a number value and must be greater than 0.
The LN function returns the natural logarithm of a number, the power to which e must be raised to result in the number.
LN(pos-num)
pos-num: A positive number. pos-num is a number value and must be greater than 0.
From the Help Menu in Numbers, download the Numbers User Guide and the Formulas and Functions User Guide.

Syntax error using try statement in WLST

Hi All,
I have a WLST script to create some JMS resources.
I want to implement exception handling in such a way that if the script fails at any point, all the changes done should be reverted back.
However, whenever I am trying to put a try block, the script is throwing syntax error on the first line after the try statement.
Please find below the script I am using. Please suggest
import sys
from java.lang import System
*# Putting a try statement here results in a syntax error at the below line*
print "Starting the script ..."

jmsserver1mb.addTarget(servermb)
+# Creating the JMS Module+
jmsMySystemResource = create("WLSTJmsSystemResource","JMSSystemResource")
jmsMySystemResource.addTarget(servermb)
subDep1mb = jmsMySystemResource .createSubDeployment('WLSTJMSSubDeployment')

Hi Chintan,
Try doing copy pasting the below code, you have to hit the tab or space after try or except to create its block and keep an eye on the alinement's of it.
try:
     save()
     activate(block="true")
     print "script returns SUCCESS"
except:
     save()
     cancelEdit(defaultAnswer="y")
     print "Error while trying to connect to server !!!"
     print "Unexpected error: ", sys.exc_info()[0]

Syntax errors using sql and java

Could somebody inform of the correct syntax for using UPDATE and INSERT SQL commands in a java program? Any information I can find demonstrates this with:
INSERT INTO table_name(column_name, ..., column_name)
VALUES(value, ..., value)
However - this isn't working? any suggestions - and I know its very basic, but I'm just learning.
String query = " INSERT INTO SESSIONS (" +
                    "id,module_name, module_number, level, session " +
                    "term, class_list, location, lecturer" + ")
VALUES('"+
                    fields.id.getText() + "', '"+
                    fields.module_name.getText() + "', '" + fields.module_number.getText() + "', '" +
               fields.level.getText() + "', '" fields.session.getText() "', '" +
               fields.term.getText() + "', '" fields.class_list.getText() "', '" +
               fields.location.getText() + "', '" fields.lecturer.getText() "')";
          output.append( " \nSending query: " + connection.nativeSQL(query)+ "\n");
          output.append( "query sent");
thanks
          int result = statement.executeUpdate(query);

With all those quotes and apostrophes and string concatenations, I'd be surprised if you got it right by the fourth try. (By the way, you appear to have missed a comma between "session" and "term".) Are you planning to insert more than one record in your program? If so, you should consider using a PreparedStatement. This will likely run faster, and your program will definitely be easier to read. Also, you won't have to come back here later to ask how you deal with data that includes apostrophes (the notorious "O'Brien" problem). Here's how you do that... you define the PreparedStatement only once:
String query =
"INSERT INTO SESSIONS (id,module_name, module_number, level, session, term, class_list, location, lecturer) " +
"VALUES(?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?, ?)";
PreparedStatement insert = connection.prepareStatement(query);and then every time you want to insert a record you do this:
insert.setString(1, fields.id.getText());
insert.setString(2, fields.module_name.getText());
// and so on...
insert.executeQuery();

Syntax Error - Using "Group By" with "Union All"

Dear SAP community, I am a newb in need of help.
Just spent the past 2 days searching for answers on how to build this query.
Basically, I just want to group the Item Names (U_ItemName) together and have their respective quantities (U_Cart) added together so the same items display as one total quantity, no duplicates.
I have tried so many combinations of GroupBy and Sum/Count....etc. Nothing is working.
The query:
SELECT T1.[U_ItemName] AS 'Item Name', T1.[U_Cart] AS 'Cartons Available', T0.[Country] AS 'Country', T1.[U_ShlfLife] AS 'Shelf Life' FROM [dbo].[OWHS] T0 inner join [dbo].[@SICAS_EXT_WHS] T1 on T0.WhsCode=T1.U_WhseCode WHERE T0.[Country] = (N'JP' ) and DateDiff(Month, GetDate(),T1.[U_ShlfLife]) <= 6 union all
SELECT T0.[U_ItemName], Sum(T0.[U_Cart]) as Cartons, T1.[Country], null FROM [dbo].[@SICAS_EXT_WHS] T0, OWHS T1 WHERE T1.[Country] = (N'JP' ) and DateDiff(Month, GetDate(),T0.[U_ShlfLife]) >= 6
GROUP BY T0.[U_ItemName], T0.[U_Cart], T1.[Country]
Can anybody advise how to get this working?
Thank you,
Justice Nerenberg

hi justice,
I checked your code and it seems correct. but I don't have same table in database so i can't check it correctly.
but I tried your problem with same situation and I am getting actual result.
Example :-
select itemcode,dscription,quantity from inv1
where docdate>'2011-02-18 00:00:00.000'
union all
select itemcode,dscription,Sum(quantity) from inv1
where docdate<'2011-02-18 00:00:00.000'
group by itemcode,dscription
Please do one thing rum both select queries separately whether running properly. Using above example you can check your code
Thanks

Using Formula in Pages Table (Syntax error)

I thought this would be simple, but I get a syntax error:
My Table
Date Start Date End Bytes Redo Rate (Mbps)

In the Redo Rate column I want a simple formula: ((C2/0.7)*8)/1000000
The current value in the last column I hand calculated, but the 0 (zero) is where the formula is supposed to be.
I enter it using Formula Editor as: =((C2 / 0.7) * 8) / 1000000 -- and there is the syntax error...
Can someone please help me... this was supposed to be simple...
Using Page '09
Thanks in advance for your attention and replies.
Andries

Here it behaves flawlessly.
I inserted the Bytes values without the thousands separators then applied the separators.
I'm running a French system so I can't test the behaviour of the English format.
I'm not sure that you are allowed to enter the commas by yourself.
Check if the cells are deciphered as Numbers.
I guess that they are treated as text.

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)

Numbers, Formel-Editor division creates syntax-error

Good morning everyone. Am sorry, but I face a problem in Numbers that is beyond my ability to grasp: Using Number ´08 Version 1.0.3 I created a rather vast Datasheet from A1 to BU368 The data in this sheet is derived from aprox fourty different sheets. The data is numeric.
Now I would like create the simple formula eg.: Q362/P362. Using the Formula-edtior and doing the up to now always working procedure: Open Formula-editor, clicking Q363 then adding a / then clicking P362 creates an "Syntax error"
If I do the same by manually writing: Q362/P362 into the formula-editor, it works. Until I have the idea to chage the format of the collum from "automatic" to "numbers" then the formula has a syntaxerror as well.
Now, what is the difference between the two formulas below? I can´t find any.
and:
The latter one works.
Please help me, I should have handed in this sheet by today and there is quite some money involved for me.
Warm greetings
William

William,
I don't have Numbers '08, so the version I have may behave differently, but I have a few observations that may be useful to you or another helper.
Your procedure does seem correct and should work.
The formula editor would be much easier to read if you turned off the preference to “Use header cell names as references.”
The example with the syntax error does not highlight anything, so it isn't seeing any cell references (which it should if you entered them by clicking the cells). It is just trying to divide two strings.
There are single quotes and spaces in both the working and non-working examples that I don't see the reason for. Maybe it's a localization thing.
Since you are on a deadline, wouldn't it work to copy the working formula and paste it into the cell with the non-working one?

Hi, i'm new using numbers, and when I try to open a excel file don't let me do it, instead appears a box whit a error and close app, any help?

What does the error say?
A couple of thoughts: the file is corrupted or is password-protected. Corruption is more likely to cause Numbers to crash & Numbers cannot open password-protected Excel files. Try using one of the free Office clones & see what happens.

Error when creating a description field. MySQL syntax to use?

I'm creating a form which has a description field in it. I created this form with many fields. However I then got an error and decided to limit the form to only 2 fields. These 2 fields (user and title) insert with no problem. However when I added the description field into the mix. I gat the same error I had previously gotten.
Error:
Internal error.

Hi Saifur,
You can remove the warning using the following syntax:
EXEC "#EC CI_EXECSQL
SQL.
    CONNECT TO 'SURROUND_DB'
ENDEXEC.
At least, it worked fine for me when using OPEN CURSOR, SELECT, FETCH and so on statements.
The way to use the pseudo comment is not very intuitive, but at least for my examples worked fine.
I hope this may help you.

I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me?

I´m trying to open an excel file in numbers not being successful. The error msg is unexpectedly error using plugin SFCompatibility can you help me? Already changed the extension of the excel document to xlsx an now gives an unknown import error.

In Excel have you tried saving directly to xls (not xlsx) and opening the xls in Numbers?
If you have a complicated workbook in Excel that uses lots of Excel's advanced features, Numbers may not be able to handle the import. It does pretty well on basic things, though.
If you're just trying to get data into Numbers, then often copy-paste from Excel is easier than trying to open xls files.

Code syntax error in header using a template?

Now running CS5 DW in a 32 bit Windows/Vista ultimate environment. The improved error messages have brought to light a problem that I apparently have had for a long time but didn't know it as CS4 simply flagged the line but no message.
Many of my site pages use a template http://a0540807.uscgaux.info/Templates/A0540807_Skeleton_2010.dwt
If I build or edit a page using this template in CS5, when in code view I see "There is a syntax error on line 57. Code hinting may not work until you fix this error. Line 57 is within the header of the page and is simply </script>
But if I simply detach the template from the page, the error goes away and it says no syntax errors.
So I am confused, is there an issue with the code or is this a Dreamweaver issue dealing with template usage?
While the error appears cosmetic, I keep wondering what to do to eliminate. Apparently, I have had this situation a long time as Line 57 is also identified back in CS4 but no error message until CS5. Any pointers are appreciated. Thanks.
Andy

I don't actually think there is any problem with your page...run one of your child pages through the W3C validator: http://validator.w3.org/ . I cast a page from your template and it came through with flying colors!
