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.

    has been really usefull.
    OK my issue is this. I am putting together some show me's
    (demo) of a new system to search for jobs for teenagers and the
    young. The system has great potential but that is another topic. I
    want to record this web based system and give the users access to
    the demos via a link from the system. I will showing them how to
    register, to search and to apply for vacancies. The problem is I
    want them to be able to open the captivate movie in another window
    (whcih will be smaller than the web page they clicked from. without
    losing any quality. ifg I record at 800 by 600 the out put
    generates scroll bars. If i record at less than 800x600 then I have
    to scroll around the screen. can anyone understand my problem or am

    You should be able to - but any graphocs in their template
    will blur. Best
    if you can get them to provide a new template with new,
    properly scaled
    graphics.

    Shouldn't matter. But perhaps your client has a fixed size
    due to other
    hardware or interface constraints. You may habe to compromise
    by *capturing
    at your chosen resolution, then resizing to theirs.

    Since you are capturing at a fixed pixel resolution, it
    shouldn't matter.

  • What tools would you use to make these kinda pictures/symbols?

    Would love to know the simplest way you people can do, step by step illustrations would do more
    thanks

    Vector-based paths 100% all the way. Raster-based art often stinks for things like logos and symbols.
    Photoshop is very good in some respects at creating vector art. I really LOVE the keyboard shortcuts in Photoshop for the vector-based Pen tool. Using Shift, Ctrl, Alt and Spacebar on Windows or Command, Option, Shift and Spacebar on Mac you can manually digitize vector paths over scanned art, make adjustments to those paths and zoom in/out and hand pan the view. I really wish Illustrator (and CorelDRAW) used the same keyboard short cuts. They really speed up the process of manually drawing clean paths over hand-drawn or scanned artwork.
    Illustrator is a great tool for this purpose for all the extra vector-based tools it has that Photoshop does not. CorelDRAW is also very good. However, they're best at techie looking things while Photoshop's pen tool strenghs lend themselves to accurately digitzing more "organic" looking shapes.

    and xp...basically...I want to get a button to open an explorer file directory

    public class Exec {

        String[] commands =
           {"cmd", "/c", "start", "\"title\"", "\"c:/program files\""};
           Runtime.getRuntime().exec(commands);
    }You need to pass a dummy title to the start command especially if the target contains spaces.

  • Would you use Macbook 13" as a DAW?

    Would you use Logic on these new Macbooks? May be with a bigger monitor? It seems it's faster than the lower end Macbook pro (1.83).

    Hey swan,
    I don't know the specs, but usually "pro" machines have faster bus speeds than "consumer" machines. That makes the transfer of data faster in the "pro" machines. So, if you have two machines, one pro and one consumer, next to each other, with the same processor speed and you were to run, lets say Logic on both, doing exactly the same thing, the pro machine should be faster.
    That's not to say that the Macbook isn't good enough to run Logic. I can't imagine them being slower than the last generation of Powerbook.

  • What functionality are you successfully using in your EO SuperClasses?

    Hi Everyone:
    We are very new to JHeadstart/JDeveloper and have just established the method we are going to use at the Entity Level to convert input to Uppercase by putting the following code into a superclass and extending the .xml files of the entities from EntityImpl to this superclass which we called UWEntityImpl.
    What I am wondering is what other ways is this functionality being used by you more experienced JHeadstart Developers? I am trying not to re-invent the wheel and utilize methods that have worked well for you.
    Of course I can think of toLowerCase, what else are you using?
    Thanks so much in advance.
    Mary
    U of Windsor
    Example Code:
    package its.sis.BusinessModel.model;
    import oracle.jbo.AttributeDef;
    import oracle.jbo.server.EntityImpl;
    public class UWEntityImpl extends EntityImpl {
    public UWEntityImpl () {
    // This code converts the inputted string to Uppercase in the database.
    // April 27, 2007 mb
    protected void setAttributeInternal(int i, Object object) {
    Object value = object;
    AttributeDef def = getEntityDef().getAttributeDef(i);
    if ("true".equalsIgnoreCase((String)def.getProperty("UPPERCASE"))) {
    if (value != null && value instanceof String) {
    value = ((String)value).toUpperCase();
    super.setAttributeInternal(i, value);
    }

    to)? I was curious because it seems to store them in
    a proprietary format, and before I get into moving
    hundreds more images I thought I would ask. I have
    2-300 gigs of usable space but Aperture seems like it
    could get huge with image adjustments.
    Hi Eric,
    I'm not a pro, but I wanted to clear up one of your issues. Aperture does not store or convert your files in a proprietary format. The image files that you store in the library will remain in their original format and untouched. The "Library" is a Mac OS X entity called a package. A package appears as a single file, but it's an illusion. If you ever needed to extract your image files, you can do so in the Finder (without Aperture) by option-clicking on the "Library" and selecting "Show Package Contents". Now you can navigate the file and folder structure to get at your originals. Of course, a much faster and easier way is to have Aperture export the originals. However, my point was to clear up the "proprietary" structure misunderstanding.
    Also--as was mentioned--each adjustment doesn't create a new image file. Every new version of your original is merely a list of instructions or "recipe" used to apply adjustments to the original to recreate the version for screen and print. This is done dynamically, on the fly. A finished version of the original is never created and saved to a file until you tell it to export a version. Thus, every version is a very small addition to the database. This is very unlike iPhoto, where every new version of a file creates a new image to store...all the more reason to move to Aperture.
    Hope that helps.

  • What sequence setting would you use to edit 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in FCP. Experiencing Quality and rendering issues.

    What sequence setting would you use to edit both 1280 x1080 DVCProHD (P2) and 1920 x 1080 AVCHD (Sony) in a single timeline in FCP. I'm experiencing quality and rendering issues.  I've tried numerous settings but can't seem to figure this one out.  Thanks for your assistance.

    Although you can combine the avchd 1920x1080 material with prores 1920x1080 in the same timeline, you might land up saving time just converting everything to 1920x1080 prores 422.   You'd probably reduce the amount of rendering while you're working and exporting when you're done by a great deal.  This workflow will require much more drive space.

  • What do you use instead of picture package in photoshop cs6

    What can you use instead of picture package in photoshop cs6. You cannot import it anymore to make pictures. I do not want to print one at a time.

  • What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    What camera raw default settings would you use for the Canon 5D Mark 3. I have PS CS6.  Thank you.

    Really, this is a question you should be asking yourself...
    What do you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Typical ISO that you shoot? Makes a difference...
    Shooting for clients or yourself? Makes a difference...
    Look, there is no magic bullet...the ACR/LR "Default" should only be changed for those adjustments you make 70-90% of the time and sould not be confused with image by image adjustments...
    So, as asked, your question can not really be answered other than to say, use a default that suits you.
