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

*_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)

Formulas that use tick boxes?

I have a simple spreadsheet that when you tick the tick box (column D) I want it to calculate the amount in the column alongside (column C) and then achieve a total of column C? I am using COUNTIF but I keep getting errors. Please help. (False is obviously the tick box column)
$8.00
FALSE
$8.00
FALSE
$4.00
FALSE
$4.00
FALSE
$

Hmm - my mistake - when I googled Countif, the only results coming back were Windows related.
So, since you're using Numbers, here is the appropriate forum:
https://discussions.apple.com/community/iwork/numbers?view=discussions
(You are posting in the forum which covers how to use the forums)
It would also help if you were to mention what software you are using, which version, your Mac model and year, and Mac OS version.

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 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.

Dialogue tick boxes un-hiding all fields, not just the ones where value has changed to true

I am hoping someone can help me make what I want to happen, happen if certain check boxes are ticked withing the dialogue box
right now I can see on the console print that the tick box turns the value from false to true but the OK button is also un-hiding all my fields rather than just the ones where the value has turned to true. What am I missing here

You're missing some curly brackets, using the incorrect equality operator, and using the long deprecated field.hidden property. Try this:
if ("ok" == Signors.DoDialog()) {
    if (Signors.bChk2) {
        getField("Signor1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date1").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date2").display = display.visible;
    if (Signors.bChk3) {
        getField("Signor2").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff2").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date4").display = display.visible;
    if (Signors.bChk4) {
        getField("Signor3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Staff3").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date5").display = display.visible;
        getField("Date6").display = display.visible;
    console.println("Chk2:" + Signors.bChk2);
    console.println("Chk3:" + Signors.bChk3);
    console.println("Chk4:" + Signors.bChk4);
    console.println("Chk5:" + Signors.bChk5);
I don't know if that will deal with all of the problems, but it's a good start.

RGA,
Unfortunately, I do not believe that it is possible for a DAQ board to generate an AI Start Trigger from an analog trigger, but not be triggered itself until it receives a digital trigger.

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

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

Drop box using Numbers

how do i open & save spreadsheets in drop box using numbers?

By simply saving them into and opening them from your DropBox folder.
When using Dropbox, it's recommended that you go to Numbers preferences menu and deselect the option "Save new documents as packages", as it will be more convenient then, to access those files directly from the DropBox website. Else they will be saved as a folder by DropBox, and not as a single file.
That's for the Mac.
For iWork on iOS, I found this:

How to automatically populate text boxes from dropdown and tick box options and then sum the results

Firstly I need to say that I have no knowledge of how to use Javascript.
I am using the 30 day trial of Adobe Acrobat XP Pro to see if it can be used for a Membership Application Form for the 1st year of membership. This 1st year has a pro-rata membership fee per month left in the year of application along with a pro-rata postage fee for non-UK members. All of the input will be via basic text boxes with the exception of the application date and overseas postage for which I have created 3 dropdown boxes, one for Day, one for Month and one forYear and for the 2 tick boxes which are there for the applicant to say if they want 2 other options which have a cost attached to them. I want to populate 2 text boxes from the Month lookup. One of these is for the pro-rata membership fee and the other for the pro-rata overseas postage. The other 2 optional items will be text boxes populated from the tick boxes. Having populated these 4 text boxes I then want to have them automatically summed to give the total to be sent by the applicant.
I have searched many forums and tried many of the suggested ways of doing it and none of the 4 text boxes are populated.
Are you able to help me with this?
Many thanks

The script solution provided is a "custom calculation JavaScript" not a "simplified field notation".
The comment at the top of the code:
// Custom calculate script for text field
should help clarify the placement location for the code.
Simplified field notation has a number of specific restrictions. One is that the provided data must be numeric data only.

How can I add extra tick-box columns to the Evaluation report template?

Is there a simple way to add additional tick-box columns to the evaluation report template? I want to have a column for every day of the week.

Are you part of a class project? We've just had another query on this template.
+Menu > View > Show Ruler/Invisibles+
The "columns" are just boxes and text aligned with tabs.
Select all of them and slide the tabs on the ruler across to tighten up the spacing.
Add more tabs to the ruler by clicking on the ruler where you want them, then right clicking on the Tab markers to change them to the type you want.
Copy and paste extra copies of the +tabs plus box+ in each line.

Config Settings: Commerce : Wish List tick box

I unticked the Wishlist in the above and expected to see the default red 'Save' buttons disappear from the WT site but despite re-caching the save buttons are stil there.
Is this tick box functional in the current release?

I am not sure about the status on the tickbox functionality, but I normally removed these buttons by using an HTML comment around them in the PartPriceBlock.ascx control in the commerce folder.

Adding a tick box on checkout form to let people opt out of email listing

hey guys ive set up a shopping site and have added an extra tick box at the bottom of the check out page to let people opt out the emailing listings if they choose to.
Problem is I dont think the result of the tick shows up on my orders invoice inside the admin or email invoice sent to me when an Order is placed, meaning I dont know if I have permission to send out emails to old customers in the future.
this is the look
code looks like this
<div class="checkbox">
<input type="checkbox" id="EmailOptOut" value="1" name="EmailOptOut" />
<label for="EmailOptOut">Please tick box if you would NOT like to receive future promotional emails.</label></div>
<div class="item"><input type="submit" class="cat_button" id="catwebformbutton" value="Submit" /> </div>
<div class="item"><br />
</div>
<div class="item"><br />
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</div>
</form>
Can I add the result to my default email or order results?
thanks
Dave
