Using SumIfs to add up multiple names in a list

Hi, I've been wrestling with Numbers while trying to get on top of my bank account (tax return due soon!).
I have all my transactions in a big list, and wanted to be able to show how much was spent on certain items, based on keywords. I also wanted to be able to easy change the date ranges that were returned, so created an extra table with a "date FROM" and "date TOO" field.
Using SumIfs() I've done most of what I wanted, using the following formula:
(in this case only adding up transactions with "ADDISON LEE" in their description field)
=SUMIFS('Debit ',Source,"ADDISON LEE*",'HSBC Advance - Current Account' :: $A,Date FROM,'HSBC Advance - Current Account' :: $A,Date TO)
This works great, but for some fields, I'd like to return multiple items based on more than one String match (so for mobile phones, search for "O2" and "T-mobile". Right now, if I add a second string comparison argument, like this...
=SUMIFS('Debit ',Source,"O2",Source,"T-MOBILE",'HSBC Advance - Current Account' :: $A,Date FROM,'HSBC Advance - Current Account' :: $A,Date TO)
...I don't get an error message, but the resulting value is always zero. I think I know why it's doing this - the SumIfs function only adds values if all arguments evaulate to TRUE. Since the String matching can't be TRUE for both (for any one item in the list), it doesn't evaluate any of the items being a "match" and doesn't SUM them.
So, what I'm asking - is it possible to add a logical operator to the formula so it evaluates (like an OR) as true if ANY of the named strings are found?
This is so much easier to do with Javascript - and real programming languages

Thanks Jerrold, yeah I figured that was one way of doing it - the downside being it makes for a lot of duplication of code - and a long formula. Is there any way to nest an individual evaluation so only the end result of that evaluation is matched by the AND logic?
In javascript, for example you could put something like:
=SUMIFS('Debit ',Source,"O2" || "T-MOBILE",'HSBC Advance - Current Account' :: $A,Date FROM,'HSBC Advance - Current Account' :: $A,Date TO)
with || being a logical OR operator. I think there might be some way to do this in Excel using VBA, but so far I'm stumbling with Numbers.
Wish there was an alternative to using the excel model of formulas I can happily work in Javascript or C, but this confuses the heck out of me!
Thanks for your help anyway, much appreciated!

Use SUMIF to add same cell several times if ticking several TRUE/FALSE Checkboxes???

Cell C3 is £30
When tickbox is True I need cell C4 to say £30
I have worked this out.
HOWEVER each tickbox i check e.g. C5 and C6 I need it to keep adding £30 to C4
So if all 3 check boxes were ticked C4 would say £90.
Any Ideas????????

MJ,
Here's an example:
In cell A1, a Header Row cell, I have the expression:
=COUNTIF(A, TRUE) * 30
I have formatted the cell as currency - dollars here.

Add multiple entries to dropdown list without using data dictionary

Hi,
By default when we use a data dictionary element for dropdown list, all the possible values are listed in the dropdown. However when no data dictionary element is used for the dropdown list, it behaves like a parameter with a single line.
I would like to know if it is possible to not use the data dictionary element and still have multiple lines in the dropdown.
Thanks in advance.

Add to Multiple Tables from One Page

Hello,
I am building an application that handles hardware inventory (APEX 4.0). I have an input page that adds data to two or more tables all at once. The page has two forms on it that point to two separate tables. However when I try to run the page, it fails and returns an error:
ORA-06550: line 1, column 437: PL/SQL: ORA-00904: "ORH_LAST_UPDATE_DATE": invalid identifier ORA-06550: line 1, column 7: PL/SQL: SQL Statement ignored
     Error      Unable to process row of table IDD_ID_DATA.
So far as i can see within the App, that column is not at issue (I am not even doing anything to it and it is nullable). I have looked into the App itself as well as doing some online research but have found nothing helpful...
So my question is this: Is it possible to add to multiple tables from one page? If so how do I do it?
I am new to APEX so any help would be greatly appreciated!

UPDATE:
I received an email from the APEX Support Team:
"The simple answer is that you will need to manually code the DML (and query) processes if you wish to maintain multiple tables from one page (There is a limit of one table when using the built-in processes).
In order to do this I suggest you delete the processes generated by the wizards and create PL/SQL processes with insert, update, delete statements as necessary. Such coding is not difficult but is more time consuming than when you can use built-in processes."
I have been playing around with PL/SQL code and the end result is this:
begin
     INSERT INTO table1
     VALUES(
          :P2_Item_Field1,
          :P2_Item_Field2);
     INSERT INTO table2
     VALUES(
          :P2_Item_Field1,
          :P2_Item_Field2);
end;
I used this code in a custom PL/SQL Process in the Processing>Processes section of Page Processing and it seems to work fine now. The only downside to this method is if the name of a Page Item is changed the code will also have to be changed. Other than that i have had no problems.

Multiple names for sender account "Aaron Johns"

I couldn't reply to your original message because you marked it answered!
But to do what you asked, since you all ready have multiple names when you click on open "New" compose message you'll find at top under header's list,
Account you should see highlighted up & down arrows.
Click on them this should then bring your list of names.

Slight grammar oddities aside (no offense intended!), this may have just saved me from abandoning Mail.app. I've been using Entourage for years but decided it was time to switch. I waited patiently for about 8 hours as Mail imported all my messages and folders (mailboxes). Then came the fun part of manually duplicating my various accounts. In Entourage, I have about 7 or 8 different accounts for the very purpose of being able to have a different name or reply address. Many of these accounts us the same incoming server info (POP).
The first time I tried to create a new account in Mail with a duplicate POP server and password, it stopped me and informed me this could not be done.
I figured this to be a limitation of Mail - and one that could not live with. But if you're saying I can have multiple names to choose from when sending a message, this may solve the problem. A couple of questions:
Precisely where do I add my list of optional sender names?
Can I attribute a different reply to address as well as a different name to an outgoing message?
Ooh... thought of one more...
Can I have certain "from" addresses linked to certain names and vise-versa?
I'll play with Mail a bit and see if I come with anything. In the meantime, any help is much appreciated.
Now... when is Mail going to allow me to apply "labels" to messages much like Entourage's categories?
Thanks!

How to use the same script for multiple buttons

Hi,
I've only just started using flash so any help would be great!
I'm creating a blockbusters type game, I have a grid of 20 buttons and I need them (individually) to turn blue on click and red on double click. I've managed to do it with the first one using this code;
var clicked:Boolean = false;
bn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, bn1click);
function bn1click(event:MouseEvent):void {
    clicked = true;
    var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = bn1.transform.colorTransform;
    if(clicked){
    newColorTransform.color = 0x064258;
    bn1.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;
bn1.doubleClickEnabled = true;
var doubleclicked:Boolean = false;
bn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK, bn1dclick);
function bn1dclick(event:MouseEvent):void {
    doubleclicked = true;
    var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = bn1.transform.colorTransform;
    if(clicked){
    newColorTransform.color = 0xac1e23;
    bn1.transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;
Now I'm having trouble getting the same to work for the rest of the buttons, they are each named bn2, bn3 etc. They need to work individually and remain blue/red once clicked. I've tried listing them as addEventListener commands but not having a great deal of success!
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!
Tomo

One way to do this is to use arrays to keep track of the buttons and their properties.
var buttonList:Array = new Array(bn1,bn2,bn3);
var clickedList:Array = new Array();
var doubleClickedList:Array = new Array();
//then use a for loop to assign the functions and properties for each button:
var thisMany:int = buttonList.length; // this will give you the number of items in the buttonList array
for(var i:int = 0; i<thisMany; i++) {
     buttonList[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,btnClick); // assign the click function to each button
     buttonList[i].addEventListener(MouseEvent.DOUBLE_CLICK,btnDClick); // assign the double click function
     clickedList.push(false); // add a false value for each button to this array
     doubleClickedList.push(false);
           buttonList[i].doubleClickEnabled = true; // set the double click property for each button
function btnClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
          var thisButton:int = buttonList.indexOf(event.target); // figure out which button was clicked as an item in the array
          clickedList[thisButton] = true; // change the value in the array
           var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = buttonList[thisButton].transform.colorTransform;
    if(clickedList[thisButton]){
    newColorTransform.color = 0x064258;
    buttonList[thisButton].transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;
function btnDClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
          var thisButton:int = buttonList.indexOf(event.target);
          doubleClickedList[thisButton] = true;
    var newColorTransform:ColorTransform = buttonList[thisButton].transform.colorTransform;
    if(doubleClickedList[thisButton]){
    newColorTransform.color = 0xac1e23;
    buttonList[thisButton].transform.colorTransform = newColorTransform;
Now you can have any number of buttons, just add their instance names to the array at the top.

How to add folder/project name to a File Naming preset

Here's a tip to automatically add the name of the Project or its parent Folder to the filename during Import or Batch Change.
I always used a custom field for adding my client's name to the filename upon Import or Batch Changing versions or masters. But often I would forget to change the custom name, and since it's auto-populated with the previous entry, I'd end up with a bunch of files with the wrong client's name on them. That looks kind of bad. So once I saw with Aperture 3 you can add the Project name or Folder name when relocating referenced files to the new folder structure, I was excited to be able to do the same for the filenames at import. Well, no such luck. They're not an option when you create a custom File Naming preset.
However, I recently decided to poke around inside some plist files, and found a workaround. I discovered the format string for Folder Name is %F and Project Name is %P. The trick is getting the code into the Format Field where you create the preset.
Create a new File Naming preset by choosing "edit" from the Version Name menu during Import or Batch Change. Drag everything you want in the name into the Format field, and enter %F or %P where you want the Folder or Project name. The tricky part is that you can't insert it between two existing criteria. It only works at the very end. After you have it in place, you can drag the criteria around to get it in the order you want.
The alternative method is to insert the code directly into the plist. PLEASE, always make sure you're working with a copy and have a good backup when you're poking around in such things. If you have trouble getting the code to take from within Aperture, you can try this. Same as above, create a new preset, but this time, enter an F or P where you want the Folder or Project name. Give it a unique preset name and save it. Then Quit Aperture. Navigate to ~/Library/Application Support/Aperture/FileNamingPresets.plist, and make a copy of the file, then open with Property List Editor. Dropdown the plist and then dropdown the item you want to edit. You should recognize it by the preset name. Now the easy part. Click in the FormatString field and insert the % character before the F or P you entered in the Format field. Save and you're done.
I discovered later that while the Folder and Project name works just fine during import, for some reason only the Project name works during Batch Change. The Folder name simply creates a "-" in the filename.
In case this is seen as a hack and gets deleted, I'm also submitting it to http://www.macosxhints.com/ and I suspect if anyone from MacCreate sees it, they'll steal it too, as they're known to do.

I do not think there is an out of the box way to do this.
The immediate solution that comes to mind is using a workflow, that runs everytime a document is uploaded/item created, which may be too much for your scenario.

PowerShell using start job to run multiple code blocks at the same time

I will be working with many 1000’s of names in a list preforming multiple function on each name for test labs.
I notice when it is running the functions on each name I am using almost no CPU or memory. That led me to research can I run multiple threads at once in a PowerShell program. That lead me to articles suggesting start-job would do just want I am looking
for.
As a test I put this together. It is a simple action as an exercise to see if this is indeed the best approach. However it appears to me as if it is still only running the actions on one name at a time.
Is there a way to run multiple blocks of code at once?
Thanks
Start-Job {
$csv1 = (Import-Csv "C:\Copy AD to test Lab\data\Usergroups1.csv").username
foreach ($name1 in $csv1) { Write-Output "Job1 $name1"}

foreach ($name2 in $csv2) { Write-Output " Job2 $name2"}

You say your testing shows that you are using very little cpu or memory in processing each name, which suggests that processing a single name is a relatively trivial task.
You need to understand that using a background job is going to spin up another instance of powershell, and if you're going to do that per name what used to require a relatively insignificant amount of memory is going to take around 60 MB.
Background jobs are not really well suited for multi-threading short-running, trivial tasks. The overhead of setting up and tearing down the job session can be more than the task itself.
Background jobs are good for long-running tasks. For multi-threading short, trivial tasks runspaces or a workflow would probably be a better choice.

Multiple Names for sender account?

Is it possible to have multiple sender 'names' on a single account.
For example:
I would like to have a personal 'name' for emailing friends...
johnsy <[email protected]>
and for emailing clients etc...
a.johns <[email protected]>
I've figured out how to add multiple addresses to one account, but not multiple names.
Can this be done?

Guess not.

How can i add a file name(the text of the file name) as a child node to existing node in a treeView1 ?

bool exists = false;
TreeNode newNodeParsed = null;
TreeNode rootNode = treeViewMS1.Nodes[0];
TreeNode nextNode = rootNode;
string f = Path.GetFileName(txtUploadFile.Text);
TreeNode subnode = new TreeNode(txtDir.Text);
TreeNode filename = new TreeNode(f);
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
The rootNode is the root directory in the treeView1
subnode is a node inside the root. For example the subnode name is manuelisback
I'm checking if the subnode exist i want to add the file for example (lightning1.jpg) to be under subnode.
If the subnode is not existing add the subnode to the root and then add the file name lightning1.jpg under the subnode.
But the file name is never added under the subnode:
I added manualy the lightning1.jpg under test.
But the lightning1.jpg also should be added to be under manuelisback. There should be two lightning1.jpg here.
One under manuelisback and one under test. The one under test i added manualy from my ftp server.
But the one i want to be under manuelisback i'm trying to add from my program and it dosen't add it to there.
And when i'm using a breakpoint i see on subnode the text manuelisback and i see on f the text lightning1.jpg

If I understand your question correctly, you might want to try changing:
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
to something like:
if (!txtDir.Text.Contains("/"))
foreach (TreeNode node in rootNode.Nodes)
if (node.Text == txtDir.Text)
subnode = node;
exists = true;
break;
if (exists == true)
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);
else
rootNode.Nodes.Add(subnode);
subnode.Nodes.Add(f);

Address book-multiple names in 1 entry

How do I add multiple names to one address card? For example, if a married couple has different last names, like John Smith and Jane Doe, when I try to enter in the name field it only lets me enter 1 last name and 1 first name.

Welcome to Apple Discussions.
You don't. The public schema for the Address Book application was intended to support one record per individual identity. You should create separate records for each significant other individual.
You can 'relate' records in a fashion by selecting the relationship field below birthday—usually with presets for friend and assistant set by default, as I recall—insert the name of the related party, and choose an appropriate indicator: father, mother, parent, brother, sister, child, friend, spouse, partner, assistant, manager, other or some custom field label you enter. When searching for all related parties, you can search for the last name, if you have included that information in the relationship data field, and all related records will be shown in a list.

How may I change the format to enter new contacts? I need to add a business name and would like to change the defaults to work rather than home.

I am entering new contacts into the contact app. I need to add a business name and would like to change the default for phone numbers from home to work. I am entering a large amount of business cards

Is there anyway of creatiing a different name for this Folder rather than 2013?
If you are using one of Lightroom's "date-based" folder templates, then the folders are created in accordance with the image capture date, not the date that you happen to import it. If you specifically want to use the import date for your folder names then you probably don't want to use the Lightroom date template, and instead you'll need to setup your folder names manually.
The vast majority of users that use date-based folder naming schemes will use a standard Lightroom template, i.e. based on the much more meaningful image capture date.
