Tick boxes for text formula

Hello
could someone please help me
i have a table with names events and tick boxes and this works perfectly.
i would like if the tick box is ticked, the name is placed in a second table.
however,it will not place the names, only numbers
this formula does numbers fine, just not names instead it leaves a '0'... could someone please help?
=SUMIF(Events :: D2,TRUE,Events :: C2)
this one leaves a TRUE or FALSE depending if it is ticket or not
=IF(Events :: D2,TRUE,Events :: C2)
Many thanks

Amber,
You seem to have posted nearly identical questions in the Mac iWork discussion and the iPad iWork discussion. In both cases, you are proposing a function that is designed to return a numeric value, a count or a sum, and you are wondering why you don't get a text result.
Take a look at the LOOKUP functions. They will return content such as names, as you are seeking.
What you are looking for is in the "moderate difficulty" realm of Numbers programming. Not simple, but not terribly difficult either.
My solution would be to add one column to the main table for each subtable. i would program each of these subtable-specific new columns to display a sequence number whenever the corresponding event checkbox is TRUE for that row. Then in the "Event 1" subtable, in the row where I want the first name for that event to be transferred from the main table, I would use LOOKUP to find the number "1" in the sequence column for Event 1 in the main table. In the next row, I would return the name with the number "2" in the Event 1 column of the main table, etc.
If this approach sounds like what you are looking for, I'd be happy to work out some formulas for you.

What error are you getting when you try ? If you are getting a network timeout then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed. Or you could downloading the update via a browser : https://discussions.apple.com/message/16436025#16436025

Have Adobe Captivate 6 (not interested in upgrading)- Struggling to publish a simulation in a format that QMP can pickup - QMP needs a qml file. previous versions had no problem all had tick boxes for QMP in the Quiz - Reporting Settings but this version does not have. If i publish to Flash QMP does not see the file.

Re:
The quiz review button is inconsistent - sometimes it shows the ticks and crosses other times it doesn't - did you find a solution? I'd dearly like to be able to tidy up the ticks!

Trying to create box for text but....

Hi all.
So I am new to the software. What I am trying to do is create a box for text. I want it to be "above" the background so that the background color does not color in the back of the text box.
An example can be found http://www.tree.com/
At the "about tree.com" that is (a more coloful, rounded version) of what I am looking for. It is a very common thing to see in sites, I just can't figure it out.
Thanks,
Patrick

Your question is so basic it really requires a fairly lengthy answer, the best advice is for you to find a beginner totorial on html/css. The software is really just a tool, but you really need to understand the underlying code..
Text, as well as all content sits in elements, which reside in the body of the html code. Each element has its own properties, such as a background color or image. (not to mention the content has its own stylings) These are set in the CSS (Cascading Style Sheets). So to give you an anwer to your question is not that simple.
So best adviced is to google beginner HTML/CSS and see what pops up.

Aperture does not show tick box for shared photo stream as promised on the help screen

I try to configure Aperture for iCloud shared Photo Stream. According to the help screen, I should select Preferences and see a panel with 4 tickboxes. The first three relate to My Photostream and work fine on all my devices. The crucial fourth tick box for sharing with others however does not show however. What else should I set-up to see the 4th tick box ?

You need:
'A Mac with OS X v10.8.2 or later and iPhoto 9.4 or later or Aperture 3.4 or later'

My contact list on my iPod has gone. In iTunes the info section for contacts doesn't show anything like 'family' - just tick box for all contacts. Any ideas on how to correct this? iPod is 3 yrs old...

My ipod no longer shows any contacts from my address book. iTunes when syncing in the info section - contacts - only shows the all contacts tick box, not categories such as 'family', 'friends' etc.
Any thoughts on why this is please?
Am suspecting icloud as a possible culprit.....
Thanks

No tick box for music in iTunes preferences for setting up iCloud

Ok I'm new to icloud and now want to set up my mac itunes library for another device. When I follow the oinstructions on how to set up icloud I get stuck on step 3 i.e. the step where you're suppose to open itunes - preferences - store and then check music, apps and books. I can only check two boxes (books and apps) and no box for music appears. What am i doing wrong or what setting needs changed?

According to this thread: https://discussions.apple.com/message/17681194#17681194
There is a problem and apple is working on it. I am having the same issue. So frustrating!

Bounding box for text

Howdy, I am looking for a way to get the bounding box of some text. I can do it with a graphics2d object, but there are some times when I want to get the bounding box without having access to a graphics objects. I have looked at several classes in the API and it seems that they either take a graphics object or one of their parameters takes a graphics object (Parameter A uses a graphics object of method A, for example). Is there a way to do it without one?
Thanks.

Save dialog box for text and pdf files

Hi,
I am using CRM UI framework for developing my components.
Currently i have a hyperlink for a file. On click of the hyperlink i want the Save dialog box to appear with SAVE/OPEN/CANCEL options. For Word/Excel/PPT files, dialog box appears. However for txt/PDF files, dialog box does not appear.
URL looks like the following:

Could you please help me to resolve this issue?

First of all, you need an app on the iPad that can read those files that you want to transfer. Adobe Reader and iBooks are two free apps that will read PDF files. Adobe Reader is much more robust than iBooks as it offers so many more features like renaming files, creating folders, annotating, highlights, etc.
Download Adobe Reader in the App Store. Then read this about file sharing with iTunes.
iOS: About File Sharing - Support - Apple
There are other ways to get files to the iPad, like email, DropBox and some other apps that let you mount your iPad like a flash drive.
This should be helpful as well.

What exactly happens when you try to sync?
Was the iPod previous synced to another iTunes library/computer?
Have you successfully synced from this iTunes library/computer before?
Do the songs play in iTunes?
Do you have the right boxes checked to sync?

Tick boxes in numbers

Hiya
i have been fighting with this for some night now and i know this is such a silly mis understanding though i just cant fix it.
Basically i want to reference to a table in a separate sheet in the same document.
lets call them sheet 1 & sheet 2
*IF I MAKE IT REFERENCE A NUMBER IT DOES IT FINE JUST IT WONT REFERENCE TEXT!?* GRRR
sheet one has a nice table with a list of names and tick boxes for each event.
sheet two i would like to have a table for each event. If the persons name is ticked for that event in sheet one, i would like it to appear in sheet two.
i though that this would be it...
=SUMIF(Events :: C2,TRUE,Events :: A2)
C2-20 is the tick boxes and A2-20 is the names.
However i just get a '0' appear and this does not change if i tick or un tick the boxes
Very frustrated haha
Thanks in advance
<3

*_You are the responsible of your frustration!_*
You guessed a syntax which can't achieve what you want.
Your formula is designed to sum the contents of A2 if the checkbox in the cell C2 is checked.
(a) Applying SUM to a single value is ridiculous,
(b) if the cell C2 is checked, the formula try to compute SUM(TRUE) which is zero
if the cell C2 is unchecked, the formula try to compute SUM(Events :: A2) which, as A2 contains a name, is zero.
Taking time to behave logically, you would have download *_iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide_*.
In this one I guess that you would have understand that what was needed is a formula using the function IF
=IF(Events :: C;Events :: A,"")
or
=IF(Events :: C=TRUE;Events :: A,"")
The app wasn't designed by your brain but by engineers ones.
I'm really amazed by the number of users which insert SUM in formulas in which it has no reason to be.
Yesterdays for instance, I saw
=SUM(IF(B2=1,10,20))
which is ridiculous. Why use SUM to apply to a single value, here 10 or 20 ?
The logical formula was
=IF(B2=1,10,20)

Tick Box

Hi
I want to be able to show a set of data that can be changed by one factor. The way the tick box works is fine but I need to expand it to be over the whole data set and not just 2 cells.
I need to see what a whole set of data looks like if I can take a common variable out of the data or keep it in.
At present I feel like I have to make a tick box for each line item but what I want to do is have the whole set linked to it so checked is one set of numbers and unchecked is another.
Any suggestions?

Hi there Dan,
The conditional IF formula can receive any input for any of its parameters, both String and Number, as well as Cells and Formulas.
If it's not working, there probably was some error in the setup.
My data is:
A1 500
A2 600
A3 500
A4 450
B1 400
B2 450
B3 600
B4 650
I have the check box over A1:B1, with the input cell C1. I then have the if formula =if(c1=0,A1,B1) in cell D1 copied down to D4
I have the graph data to D1:D4. xcelsius only reads static though when I check the box nothing happens?
What do you mean when you say that you have the Check Box over A1:B1? If you mean the Source Data is bound to A1:B1, then that would explain the problem. If Check Box Source Data is A1/B1, then Input Cell C1 is receiving 500/400, not 0/1, and thus your formula cells will never process correctly (meaning they are always evaluating to the "not 0" condition, because the Check Box never inserts 0 to C1) .
If that is not the cause of the error, then try simplifying the setup to the basics: Have the Check Box insert to A1, then create a formula in B1 such as =IF(A1=0, 500, 400). Then test against that one cell, B1, with something like a Single Value or Label component.

Tick Boxes in iPhone SDK

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this question, but I'm wondering where on the net I could find decent tutorials on tick boxes for the iPhone SDK. The application I'm working on requires them as a main UI feature.

PLEASE HELP: PDF Forms, creating average formula for text?

Hello,
I really hope somone can help. I cannot find any answers to my questions on the internet, google etc.
First time using Acrobat. Im pretty quick learning on compters however the formulas my boss has asked me to do I have no idea if they are possible.
We have a report form for exams and each section I need to calculate the average mark for that section.
There are 3 questions for the first section. There are dropdowns for distinction, Merit, Pass and Below pass to select for each questions.
Please see picture attached to show you what I mean.
I want to be able to calculate the most selected/average dropdowns selected and not count the N/A's into award1 field?
The fields must be text and cannot be numbers.
so for example, track 1 got a distinction, track 2 got a Merit, Track 3 got a distiction. all other fields left n/a
is there anyway to do this also is there any way to exactly the same as above as check boxes? - please see picture attached
I appriciate any help. I am working on a mac
Thanks
Lauren

Thank you so much reply
Yes on the dropdowns the distincion, merit, pass or below pass values are in the correct areas ready for selection. For example on the distiction row you can only drop down for distinction and so on for Merit row dropdowns etc
Check box is the way I rather do it as its quicker, however I created the dropdown option just incase check boxes average was not possible
On the check boxes if i select merit for rtack 1 I would just tick the box and leave the the rest of the colum blank with no ticks. So just by seeing the tick I know its in the merit section for Track 1. However I donts know if I can do an average formula for with check boxes.
If I check boxed/slected distinction for track 1, distnction for track 2 and merit for track 3 (obvisley any box could be ticked depeneding how the exam went so need then all in the script). I would like it to then calculate the avergae mark which would be distinction in the award1 field. While the none ticked boxes or N/A fields not affecting the average.
This is just the start to a huge form Im doing Im dreading the rest of formulas I have to do lol
sorry if im confusing you
