Use check cells to enter data in another cell

I'm creating a table that list my sales. I what the total to reflect money received not money invoiced. I thought i could just check a box and then the amount would be displayed.
this is what am thinking in my head but it is not right:
=SUM(R2,IF,U2="true")
"true" meaning the check box is ticked
Is this possible? if so how, or can you see another way.

Reading *_iWork Formulas and Function User Guide_* is often useful when we want to write a formula.
(1) why use SUM when a formula is designed to return the content of a single cell as the one which you wrote ?
G2 contains :
=IF(C2=TRUE,D2,"")
is the correct syntax.
(2) if you want to get a conditional sum of a range, the formula must apply to ranges, not to single cell.
H2 contains :
=SUMIF(C,TRUE,D)

Conditional Formatting in one cell with a dates in another cell

I have a simple spreadsheet that will gauge a project's progress. I wish to have individual cells change color based on another cell. I can't get the right syntax in order - groan
E2 has today's date, =NOW()
G2 (not started) would change from a color to no color when the start date, F27, has arrived then
H2 (started) would change to a color when the date is met, F27, (may be change color as the completed date arrives) then no color when the completed date arrives, F28.
I2 (completed) would change to a color when the date is met, F28
When the spread sheet is opened or if I need to change the dates in either of the cells the cells with color gauges will update.
I am using conditional formating through the ribbon.
Please help!

How can I use table control to enter data

Hi all,
I want to use table control to enter data, instead of using textboxes.
So that the user can enter many data at once and just click the save button at the end of the work, only one click.
How can I use the table control at this context?
Thanks.
Deniz.

Leigh,
After creating your table, Tap the Tab marked "+" and select "Form" - you will be asked which table to use. (You should get into the habit of naming your tables - if the table name isn't visible, select the table and tap the Styles (Brush) Menu > Table > Turn ON table Name, then double tap on the Table to edit it.)
Select the table you wish to to fill with a form and you will see a new form based on the header data.
The form will allow you to add one row at a time and when you get to the last row, there is an option at the bottom of the form to add a new row using the "+" button. At the top of the form is the row header which you can rename by double tapping.
You can also rename the form on the Tab by double tapping on the name.
Try it out.

Drag the contents of a cell and drop it into another cell

dear frankson,
pls send the source code for drag the contents of a cell and drop it into another cell.

When I drag and Drop on a Mac (OS 10.2.3), the OS
builds a transparent image of the component being
dragged and uses it instead of the default cursors.
This wouldn't be a big problem except that the
component it renders is the ENTIRE spreadsheetThis is the default behavior on Mac. You can manually set the dragimage in startdrag(...) in dragGestureRecognized(). So you just need to create an image of what your are actually dragging.
If you simple want to remove the image just set it to some 1x1 pixel image or a transparent gif...

Changing Date in one cell based on text in another cell

Is there a formula to change the date in a cell in one column to the date in another column on the same row based on the text in a third cell on the same row? For example, I want the date in G3 to change to the date in J3 when the text in H3 says Completed.

Hi,
My understanding is that if the value of H3 is "Completed", the G3 is changed the value of J3, is it correct? If yes, we can use If formula (=IF(H2="completed",J2)), please see the image below:
If no, please share us a sample, we'd like to re-try it.

Entering dates into two cells and then receiving a corresponding range to be formatted

I am new to VBA. I am trying to set up a reservation system using Excel. The rows are the different rooms and the columns are the dates. The tutorial that I am using to set up this system didn't go far enough for my liking. Using
the current code it will find use the "start date" from the data entry cell and show the name in a calendar type data range. What I need to add is an "end date" which will then show all of the dates for that booking. I'm not
sure how to put that into the code that the tutorial already had. Here is that code. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Not sure how you derive Actual Cost numbers, etc. but you can use the INDEX MATCH combination to solve a problem like this.
INDEX looks up a value from a range given a row number and column number.
MATCH can get the row number and column number you need.
Putting it all together here:
The formula in G2 of 'Table 2':
=INDEX(Table A::$A:$G,MATCH(A2,Table A::$A,0),MATCH(G2,Table A::$1:$1,0)+2)
This looks more complicated than it is. Breaking it down:
   =MATCH(A2,Table A::$A,0) simply tells Numbers to take the value in A2 and find out where it occurs in Column A of 'Table A'.
   =MATCH(G2,Table A::$1:$1,0)+2 tells Numbers to take the value in G2 and find out where it occurs in Row 1 of 'Table A'. Then it adds 2 because the way you have the table set up you need to shift over two columns to get the actual cost after the 'Retro Deal'.
=INDEX(Table A::$A:$G, <first MATCH expression>,<second MATCH expression>) looks up the results in the whole of Table A (here columns A through G).

Formula to trim off data from another cell after

Wonder if anyone can help. Ive got some address columns im editing in Numbers. Unfortunately,( common problem I know!), not all the date in the cells are uniform. For example: E2 may have '123 Alphabet Street', whereas E3 might have '123 Alphabet Street, London'. Im trying to write a quick formula where I can trim off any data after the ',' into another column called Town.
Im going to continue to scroll through this forum to see if this has been dealt with before, and look on Iwork Help. But in the meantime.. if anyone could give me a pointer that would be ace.
Thanks

You'll need two columns, one for each part of the split.
Original data in column B, Street address in column C, City in column D
C: =IFERROR(LEFT(B,FIND(", ",B)-1),B)
D: =IFERROR(RIGHT(B,LEN(B)-FIND(", ",B)-1),"")

Run a formula if a cell contains particular data from various cells

I have a formula which checks a list of domains to see what the TLD is and then returns a renewal price based on the TLD e.g. .co.uk may return with $5.99 and .com $10.00. The formula I am using is below:
=VLOOKUP(RIGHT(A2,LEN(A2)−SEARCH(".",A2)+1),$A:$B,2,FALSE)
I am now wanting to expand this formula to check additional criteria before running the above formula.
I don't know what functions to use, but I know what I'm trying to achieve, so please, humour me when it comes to make believe syntax below:
if a cell contains the data from a number of cells e.g. C$2:C$5 then run the above formula, if not return "N/A"

Hi Ian,
Thanks for your reply.
I see exactly where you're going with this, but it's not exactly what I'm after.
Perhaps I need to be a bit more clear in my explanation - my bad.
Cell A2 has a domain name e.g. example.com, example.co.uk, example.org, example.net
Cell B2 has a number of options to choose from e.g. Expire, Hosting, Backorder, Mapping
Column D2:D5 have a number of TLDs e.g. co.uk, .com, .org, .net
Column E2:E5 have the corresponding annual renewal prices for the TLDs listed in cells F2:F5
Column F2:F5 have the options than can be chosen in column B2
I only want to get the renewal price for the TLD where the option in Cell B2 is one of the options listed in cells F2:F5 and if it's not, I want it to return "N/A"

Jon,
Here's a graphic on my suggestion:
The expression in Display :: A2 is =OFFSET(Enter Here :: $A$1,COUNT(Enter Here :: A), 0)
The expression in Display :: B2 is =SUM(Enter Here :: A)

Populating from one table cell in one table to another cell in another table - confusing results

Hi, really hope someone can help because I feel like I'm almost there... just not quite!
Here's what I have:
Two tables. One is called 'plantable' - this is an expanding table in so much as the user can click a button and it will add a new empty row. Within this row there is a button to remove the row (working fine), six text field cells where users can add text. Two of these text cells are called 'wb' and 'better' - this is important as they come into play later. There's also a button called 'Send to Review' on the same row.
This button does two things: It adds a new Row in a separate table called 'review table'. 'reviewtable' operates similarly to 'plantable'. It is expanding (so there's an 'add row' button) and each row consists of a remove button which removes that particular row, along with five text field cells - two of which are called 'wb' and 'better'
This is what I would like to happen: The user adds several entries (rows) in the 'plantable'. They have the option of adding one of these rows to the 'reviewtable' - if they do this it will auto-populate the text fields for 'wb' and 'better' in the newly created row in the 'reviewtable'. The user can also go directly to the 'reviewtable' and add a new row (completely independent of the 'plantable') and fill in the text fields as they require.
This is what is actually happening: It all works... apart from the fact that whichever 'add to review' button the user presses in the 'plantable' row, a new row is created in the 'review table' but it always pulls the data from the cells of the top-most row in the 'plantable'. For example, I have a plantable with three rows, a, b, c (each row has an 'add to review' button). Each row has text for the 'wb' and 'better' text cells - say, a-wb, a-better, b-wb, b-better, c-wb, c-better. Even if I click on the 'add to review' button in row c, the reviewtable will always add a new row and populate it with the contents from row a. If I click on the same button again it will add a new row and fill it with the contents of row b. If I keep pressing the button it will add more and more rows but they become blank. Also, if the user has added new rows independently to the reviewtable it won't keep the order, so instead of having a row with empty fields followed by say row a then row b, row a will always come first, followed by row b followed by the empty row. I just want them to be viewed in the order the user has added them to the reviewtable. Not what I want to happen.
Here's my code.
Code for adding a new row to plantable (I think this is correct, but placing it here so you can see):
plantable._planrow.addInstance(0);
Code for adding a new row FROM a row in plantable TO a new row in review table (it also adds a dialogue box before proceeding which is the first two lines of code):
var button = xfa.host.messageBox("You are about to ADD this entry to the REVIEW section. Do you wish to proceed?", "Add to Review Section", 1, 2);
if (button == 4)
{form1.Review.reviewsub.reviewtable._planrow.addInstance(0);
var vCol1 = this.resolveNodes("form1.plan.plansub.plantable.planrow[*].better");
var vCol2 = this.resolveNodes("form1.Review.reviewsub.reviewtable.reviewrow[*].better");
var vCol3 = this.resolveNodes("form1.plan.plansub.plantable.planrow[*].wb");
var vCol4 = this.resolveNodes("form1.Review.reviewsub.reviewtable.reviewrow[*].wb");
for (var i = 0; i < vCol1.length; i ++) {
vCol2.item(i).rawValue = vCol1.item(i).rawValue;
vCol4.item(i).rawValue = vCol3.item(i).rawValue;
Can anyone help me with this please as I don't really understand where I am going wrong.
Many thanks, Sunil

I'm still struggling with this, but have revamped the question and almost got it to work. I've started a new thread with a more succinct question here: always fill out the very last row of a table (which can expand)

Assigning a Numeric Value in a Cell Based on Text in Another Cell

In advance, thanks for your assistance. I'm trying, in vain, to assign a numeric value in a cell based on text (from a dropdown menu) in another cell. For example, in cell A5 I have a dropdown list that includes the options "blue", "red", "white", and "gold." I want cell C15 to be 2 if A5="blue"; I want C15 to be 0 if A5="red"; I want C15 to be 2 if A5="white"; and, I want C15 to be 1 if A5="gold."

Tippet,
This is a job for LOOKUP.
The expression for the Result cell is: =LOOKUP(A2, Lookup :: A1:A4, Lookup :: B1:B4)
The aux. table contains the matches that you assign for the colors.

How do I write data to another cell based on a drop down menu?

Hello. I've been trying to figure this out for a last day or so and my brain is mush since its the first time I've used Numbers.
What I need, is based off this information, is to make summary graphs from information, but the tracky part is, I need to to be catergorized by job site. So if I pull down and select "Job 1" for it to add the required information to a graph for "Job 1" and so on for an average of 8-10 different job sites. The tricky part is, the same job site might show up multiple times and I need it to add only the info from the row that it's on to the graph.
I know this isn't worded very well but any help would be fantastic.

MB,
I think I have the idea, or at least I can imagine a problem/solution pair that might apply here.
I would begin by starting a new table for your chart. In that new table you would pull in the data that you wish to chart, based on job number, or whatever criteria you have in mind. Use one of the lookup functions to access just the data you need if you want to plot a sequence of values. If you want summary data, use SUMIF and SUMIFS.
Once you have created a table and chart for one job or other criteria, generalize it by substituting a variable in the place where you provide the reference to a particular job. This "variable" would be a reference to a cell where you enter the criteria for that particular instance of the chart.
We can help with the particulars.
