What equation would I use...

I appreciate the help on this question.  I am an attorney I would like to develop a spreadsheap in Numbers (and Pages) that does the following simple thing:
Column B would have a retainer figure.  Say $1000 for the first entry.
Column C would have my total running for the month.  At the first entry that would be $1000.
Column B, row 2, would have 1500 for my next retainer.  Column C, row 2, using an equation would have the new figure of $2500.  Also, Column C row 1 would retain the previous total of 1000.
Column B, row 3, would have 500 for my next potential retainer.  Column C row 3 would automatically, using an equation, would have the figure of $3000.  The previous rows in column C would retain the previous totals.
What equation or formula would I use to populate column C with a running total?

=SUM($B$1:$B1)
Put that in C1 and then copy it down the column.  C2 should have the exact same formula except the last B1 is now B2, and likewise down the table.  You're telling it to start at B1 for each entry, but to stop at the row in B that is identical to that row in C.

    You can do something like this:
    D2=B2*(1+C2/100)
    this means in the cell D2 type the following "=B2*(1+C2/100)"... leave out the double quotes

    What behavior would I use to make a bitmap image shake? Thanks.

    There are several options for making images (or any object) shake:
    -Earthquake Filter
    -Randomize Behavior (Parameter Behaviors)
    -Wriggle Behavior (Parameter Behaviors)
    You can apply these to the X&Y together, or 1 instance to each channel.

  • What function would you use instead of "IF" when referencing durations from a pop-up menu. Ie; if c4 equals 1h enter 280, if c4 equals 30m enter 160, etc. IF works fine if c4 is formatted as text but returns 0 when formatted as pop-up.

    What function similar to IF would one use when the reference cell is a pop-up menu of items in duration format?
    Example: if C4 equals 1h enter 280, if C4 equals 30m enter 160, etc
    i can get it to work fine if I format the cell to text but I not only need it pop-up, I also need it to be written in duration format because it's used as duration in other functions.
    thank you for your help in advance
    Christina

    Hi Christina,
    A screenshot is always helpful.
    C4 is your popup? You want to chose a duration there and have 280 or 160 show up somewhere else? Are they the results of a mathmatical formula or do you want a lookup table to show them?
    I suspect something else is going on in your table. I have no trouble having a popup recognized as a duration:
    The formula in C2  =DUR2MINUTES(B2) displaying "60" as expected. Note that "60" is not a duration. If I want C2 to be a duration I need the formula to read:
    =DUR2MINUTES(B2)&"m".
    I hope this helps, if not, post a screenshot including relevant formulas.

  • What script would I use for a timesheet using 12:00 am?

    I have been able to add a document level script using Acrobat Pro to show midnight as 12:00 am. But my calculations still don't work. As I have it scripted right now a start time of 12:00 am and an end time of 1:00 am equals -11.00 hours not 1.00 hour. What script would I have to add so the calculation is correct?
    Here is the script I have right now:
    // start time
    // Start time field name
    var cStartName = "start1mon1";
    // Start time format:
    var cStartFormat = "HH:MM";
    // end time
    // end time field name
    var cEndName = "end1mon1";
    // End time format:
    var cEndFormat = "HH:MM";
    // some conversion functions
    // function to convert time string to minutes
    function Time2Num(cTime, cFormat) {
    // convert time string to minutes
    // convert time string to date object
    var oDate = util.scand("mm/dd/yyyy " + cFormat, "01/01/1970 " + cTime);
    // convert date object to number of milliseconds
    var nTime = oDate.getTime();
    // convert milliseconds to minutes and return value
    return Math.round(nTime / (1000 * 60));
    } // end Time2Num function
    function Num2Time(nMinutes) {
    // convert time string to Hours and Minute
    // hours in nMinues
    var nHrs = Math.floor(nMinutes / 60);
    // remainder minutes from hours in nMinutes
    var nMins = nMinutes / 60;
    // return formatted time string
    return nHrs, nMins;
    } // end Num2Time
    // end conversion functions
    // perform the calculation using the fields:
    // get the values of the fields
    var cStartTime = this.getField(cStartName).value;
    var cEndTime = this.getField(cEndName).value;
    // clear the value
    event.value = "";
    // test for not null time strings
    if(cStartTime != "" && cEndTime != "") {
    // compute the time difference in minutes
    nDiff = Time2Num(cEndTime, cEndFormat) - Time2Num(cStartTime, cStartFormat);
    event.value = Num2Time(nDiff);
    } //end not null values
    I have no prior knowledge of JavaScript, only what I have found here on the forums and a lot of luck. I would appreciate help on this problem. Thanks!

    Thank you Gilad D, that worked making a hidden field and just creating the subtraction for the break with that field!   But for future reference if anyone else comes across this question, this is what I used for the time without subtracting the break.
    // Get first field value
    var v1 = getField("Finish Time 1").value;
    //Split field value
    var time1 = v1.split(":");
    // Get second field value
    var v2 = getField("Start Time 1").value;
    //Split field value
    var time2 = v2.split(":");
    var min1 = time1[0]*60 + time1[1]*1 //
    var min2 = time2[0]*60 + time2[1]*1 ;
    event.value = ((min1 - min2) / 60) ;
    If anyone know how to add a break into this script, have at it! But creating a hidden field with the answer of the above script and then creating another box that takes that number minus a break worked good.

  • Please help - What software would be useful? (not sure im in the right category here)

    Hi guys,
    I was wondering if someone could point me in the right direction regarding the following. I am studying abrasive particles and have many SEM still images of particles ranging from 10-120 microns. I am looking for some software that will allow me to easily calculate various properties relating to the particle, such as size, geometry, area ect - or anything really that might be of use to allow me to compare one particle with another.
    1) Is there certain features which may be useful to know when it comes to comparing abrasive particles?
    2) Is there simple software available that would be suitable (i was recommended a program called SIGMAscan but this seems perhaps too much of an investment at around $900 for what i need it for).
    Thanks guys, appreciate any feedback
    Chris.
    Solved!

    No, you are not on the correct board. Measure is an add-on for Excel.
    NI sells a Vision Development Module and Vision Builder but both are considerably more than $900. Questions about either should be posted to the Machine Vision board.

  • I've developed an ActiveX that works in IE. 1) Can I get the ActiveX to work in firefox? 2) If not, what IDE would I use to re-write the ActiveX as a new plug-in? Thanks!

    I'm an independent software developer. My client had me write a program to run on their web site (which I did as an ActiveX control). Some of their clients are using Firefox instead of IE. So how can we support those clients who want to use Firefox?
    My first question is whether Firefox has a plug-in that will run ActiveX controls, and my second question is, if not, then what programming environment (IDE) can be used in order to re-write the ActiveX.
    Please note: the source code contains trade secrets. Therefore, it is not an option that the source code be open source or available to the public.
    So, finally, does the technology exist to provide the same capabilities that my ActiveX provides, while operating in a Firefox environment, and still have protected code?

  • What program would I use to make  Tumblr Theme

    I would like to make my own tumblr theme and Im not sure which adobe program I would use to make one or even if adobe has such a program. I would like to make it so it looks like a magazine sitting on a surface and you drag accross the pages to move between the posts as if flicking through a magazine. Tumblr uses HTML. And can anyone give me a rough idea of how to make this if I can (im a total novice)

    Read up on HTML, CSS and so on. Seriously no point in even trying without knowing basic web stuff. Yeah, sure, Dreamweaver, Muse, Edge can do all sorts of things and somewhere along the way you might be using Photoshop to create graphical elements, but there's  really a lot more to that. Not least of all you will have to educate yourself about Tumblr's API as well to integrate your design. if you've never done anything liek that before, you may be seriously in for a rough ride and have a lot to learn...

  • What syntax would I use to take off a DMZ, Outside static route from a Pix

    I am having a problem with mail coming in and currently have all smtp traffic going to a mail filtering server. I want to point the traffic directly to the exchange server instead, but, before I do I want to make sure that I can take that static route off after the test.
