Use the last number in a column

Don't use spread sheets much and wondered if anybody could help with this problem. I am monitoring my weight and each day put the new weight value in the next cell. ie
201
198
197
I have another cell in the sheet which contains my target weight from which I want to subtract the latest weight record this of course moves to the next cell down each day. Is there a formula to pick the last number in a column of data? ie in the above example takes 198 on day 2 but 197 on day 3.
Thanks
Jonathan

Ok. The formula didn't have to be that fancy after all. We can use COUNT to count the number of entries, then use INDEX to return the corresponding entry.
If the actual weights are in column B and goal weight in E2, then in D2 enter this formula:
=E2-INDEX(B,COUNT(B),1)
So, a couple caveats:
1) Must start entering the weights in the top body cell (whether table has header or not, see below).
2) Column B cannot have any extraneous numbers (this will throw the count of entries off).

If you are actually using Numbers '09 and the table has headers, then for some reason the formula is slightly different depending on how many header cells are in column B. E.g. if one header, then enter =INDEX(B,COUNT(B)+1,1); if two headers, then enter =INDEX(B,COUNT(B)+2,1); Or, simply enter =INDEX(B,COUNT(B)+ROW(B)-1,1), which adjusts to whatever number of header cells.

I have used Firefox for the last number of years but now it crashes upon opening.

I have used Firefox for the last number of years but now it crashes upon opening. I have unistalled and installed (version 6) but still it crashes. It does not start in safe mode either. I have read the various help support but I seem to be going around in circles. I am not a computer geek so please bear with me. Thank you.

Create a new profile exclusively for the 4.0 beta version and create a desktop shortcut with -P "profile" appended to the target to launch that profile.

Thanks Martin

A single user license allows for having activated installations on two machines. An Elements license allows for either platform in many cases (recently not the case from what I've seen). If you have the disc, see if it contains the Mac installation files... if it does then you should be able to install them via a download as well. I cannot answer with certainty for the last question since it relies on the previous question. Personally, I would not let an inexpensive piece of software dictate an expensive hardware purchase decision.

How to track my stolen ipod only using the serial number

I had my iPod stolen from me sometime within the last week. I changed my iCloud password tonight & I was just wondering if there is any way I can track it using the serial number because I did not set up "find my iPhone" before it was stolen. It was not locked (the password when you first turn it on.) Please help me! I still have one year warranty on it too. Can anybody tell me how to go about fixing the problem? I have serial number if you can track it that way. Please get back to me with your responses asap . thx

No. The SN will only help idenitfy the iPod as yours if it is recovered.
lost/stolen
No app on the iPod is required.
- If you previously turned on FIndMyiPod on the iPod in Settings>iCloud and wifi is on and connected, on a computer browser go to iCloud: Find My iPhone, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone. If the iPod has been restored it will never show up or continue to show off-line.
- You can also wipe/erase the iPod and have the iPod play a sound via iCloud.
iCloud: Erase your device
iCloud: Use Lost Mode
- If not shown, then you will have to use the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse.
- Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPod and report to police
- There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPod (it erases it) using it unless you had iOS 7 on the device. With iOS 7, one has to enter the Apple ID and password to restore the device.
- Apple will do nothing without a court order

Problem with ios7. when ending a call the phone redials the last number again and again.

Dear friends,
Major problem with ios7 just came up. When ending a call either from headset or the phone itself it keeps redialing the last number. The only way to shut it is to use the home button key and then choose the banner of the active call on the top of the screen and press end call.
Has anybody encountered the same problem?
I

i have the same problem as well as my daughter. have to restart phone and then it stops, but after a couple calls it will do again

How do I set my iPhone 4S to clear the last number dialed?

Every time I try to dial a new number, the last number I entered on the keypad is still there. I have to delete it manually before I can call someone else. My husband has an iPhone 3, and his keypad is always blank when he accesses it. Is there a setting for this? thanks!

maybe it's because I'm using the keypad to enter numbers into my contact list & not actually calling them.
Correct.
"how do I enter numbers into my contact list?"
Select the Contact, press the Edit button, tap the desired number (work, mobile, home, etc) and enter the number. Press Done when complete.

I want to buy a hard case for my macbook pro, but I don't know what year it is. When I use the serial number to try and find out, all it says is, "~VIN,MacBook Pro (15-inch Glossy)". When I type that into amazon for a case it gives me nothing!

Hi john,
Yes, you would sign out of iTunes & App Store: Settings>iTunes & App Store, click on the Apple ID, click on Sign Out. Then sign back on with the new Apple ID. Also, if you have an iCloud account with the other Apple ID, you would delete that iCloud account, and then sign on with your new ID: Settings>iCloud>Delete Account.
Cheers,

I have an I pad2, an iMac desktop(2012) and an I phone 5, how do I get them all to be able to face time with each other, do I need different email addresses, use the phone number, or the sim number in the iPad ? Any help gratefully received !!

Graham,
For the iPad, iMac you need to create verifyible e-mail addresses created with one of the providers such as Yahoo, Gmail,etc. For the iphone you should use it's phone number, but an e-mail could be used for it too. If you want to associate these e-mail addresses with a single ID, I'm including a link to give you info about how you can do that. Read it carefully, as it can be a bit confusing.

I would like to put Dreamweaver 8 on a new computer. There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this?

There is no "deactivate" function and the technical support person I chatted with recommended I come here. Can I just use the serial number again? How can I deactive? Has anyone else run into this? How can I get Dreamweaver 8, which is no longer being activated by Adobe, on a new computer? Is it even worth doing or do I need to get a new version. What are the killer features I'm missing?

If you manage to get it installed on your current OS, don't forget to install the 8.02 update.

How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number

How Can You Track Your Ipod If Lost Using The Serial Number?

The find my iphone app has nothong to do with it.
That app simply allow you to find other devices using your ipod. It has nothing to do with fining the device on which it is installed.
If you set up the find my ipod feature that is built into your ipod and the ipod is on and it is connected to wi-fi and it has not been restored, then you may be able to get an approximate street address using icloud.
Othrewise, it cannot be tracked.
