Compare text in one cell to a range of cells, get interger count of values

Hi there,
Basically what I'd like to do is, as a value in one cell, compare the text in a second cell to a range of third cells, and get a count of "hits".
EXACT(second,third) will compare two cells, return a boolean. How do I batch run EXACT, and force boolean values into integers.
Conceptually:
For each J2:J14;$X=$X+INT(EXACT(B2,$_);return $X
Can this be done in Numbers?

Nevermind; the following works:
=COUNTIF(($J2:$J14),B1)

  • Different color text in one cell

    How do I set a color for a group of words within a cell leaving the rest of the words black?
    I can make all the text within a cell the same color but when I select the words I want to be a different color the color selector in the toolbar goes away and only fx, Cancel and Accept buttons are available.

    If it is simple text, not the result of a formula, select the words you want to change and select another color from the toolbar or the color panel. That is, unless I didn't understand your request. I don't know where you are seeing Accept, Cancel and Fx.

  • Need formula to take text from one cell, add that to a serial number with leading zeros

    I'm trying to create a spreasdheet cell that simplifies creating videotape Numbers from a job name in cell and appends a serial number with leading zeros, and that would survive an export to EXCEL.
    The result would look like
     A Column
    Job Name
    B ColumnTape #
    Formula needed for B
    ClientName-TapeType-
    ClientName-TapeType-001
    =
    ClientName-TapeType-
    ClientName-TapeType-002
    =
    I've tried using a custom cell format that had the text in front of the (Integer) drag and drop, with three integers and leading zeros.
    That worked, but requires recreating the custom cell format for each client and tape type.
    So, I've used the formula =A2& in order to play around with different things, but haven't hit on something that adjusts for increased numbers and retains the leading zeros.
    I don't mind doing a starter for the first row and then adding +1 in the formulas for the rows below.
    I've done that using the custom cell formats for the first B cell and then using =Bx+1 in the following cells.  It works, but I'm hoping to find something simpler or that can be copied and pasted in multiple rows on one paste.
    Thanks in advance.
    Suggestions much appreciated!
    Ted

    Ted,
    This expression in B will give you the pattern I believe you are looking for:
    =A&RIGHT("00"&ROW()-1, 3)

  • How to change color of text in one cell of a List component?

    I tried this but didn't work:
    list.getItemAt(2).textField.setStyle("textFormat", tf);
    Thanks!!

    Shy layers?  I see the words "Music Party" in two text layers in the timeline.  Here's what you do:
    Double-click on one of the text layers to highlight all the characters in the layer.  Go to the Character Pane and change the color.  Double-click on the other text layer.  Instead of changing the color in the Character pane, use the eyedropper to match the color of the first layer.
    Easy as pie.

  • Find a range of numbers in one cell and output in another

    Here I am again with something I just can't seem to find an answer to:
    I need to find the range of numbers in one cell and place that value in another, like so:
    Cell A1 says: "3 - 8"
    Cell A2 returns: 5
    Any simple formula to do this?

    Hi gunkie83,
    Yvan's formula does perform properly. He stated: Here the decimal separator is comma so Numbers use the semi-colon as parameters separator but the formula is OK. CAUTION, here I left the semi-colons.
    Yvan is in France using the French version of iWork. For the U.S.A. semicolons need to be changed to a comas as I have in the following formulae.
    =VALUE(LEFT(A,SEARCH("-",A)-1))-VALUE(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-SEARCH("-",A)))
    this returns -5
    =ABS(VALUE(LEFT(A,SEARCH("-",A)-1))-VALUE(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-SEARCH("-",A))))
    this returns 5
    One important observation in cell A2 the text reads as 3 - 8 not 3-8. Also it can be inputted as 3 -8 but not 3- 8. Watch those spaces. Fun huh.
    Hope this helps. Again Yvan thank you.
    Cordially,
    RicD

  • Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

    Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
    I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

    Hi Tom,
    Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
    Please explain what you are trying to do.

  • Text that spans more than one cell in a JTable

    Hi all.
    I have a JTable where I've altered the renderer so that it looks like I have columns that span more than one cell.
    e.g.: http://i.imgur.com/RSGOh.png
    From that image though you will notice that the text (which is based in a JLabel) is truncated.
    I need this text to span the available cells so was wondering about the best way of doing it.
    I could:
    1) When I know that the text won't fit, don't draw anything at all with the renderer but make a note of it and then in the paintComponent method of the JTable, paint the text in the appropriate position once the rendering has been done.
    2) Provide a custom renderer that draws as much of the text as possible up to the right edge, and then have an adjacent cell renderer paint the rest.
    3) Use a different TableUI that when I know I need to span, uses a special renderer to stamp over the spanned cells...
    4) other methods???
    I was going to attempt choice 1) but thought I'd ask here first in case someone has had experience in this and knows the "correct" way to do it.
    Is this the right way to go about it?
    Thanks, Nick.

    // Allow selection to span one contiguous set of rows, visible columns, or block of cells
    table.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);
    // Allow multiple selections of rows, visible columns, or cell blocks

  • How to get the text of several cells in one? (Operator "&")

    Hi there,
    I have a list of done and planned tasks. In the one column, there is the description, in the other is the status like "plan" "open" and "closed".
    Now I want to create an overview.How can I filter the "open" tasks and display them in one cell? I could do it like
    +If(B1="open";A1;"") & If(B2="open";A2;"")...+
    and so on. But as I have over 20 projects and therefor over 20 sheets, I'm seeking for a easier way. Also the reference thing would only work if there is only one open project, but sometimes I have two or three open tasks.

    schubladenachrank,
    Now, I think I see what you are trying to do. With a clearer picture of what you wanted I came up with the following:
    First of all, the added columns in you project (title) tables are no longer necessary.
    Next, an "Open Tasks Summary", is still needed but a different concept is employed. A column is needed for each title and if a task is open, that task is concatenated with the previous list of open tasks. Not unlike the method you were attempting in your original post. At this point we note that the number of rows in all of your project tables must be at least equal to the maximum number of tasks of all projects. The number of rows in your summary table must be 1 greater. The sample allows a maximum of ten tasks and the last cell of a column will always show all of the open tasks for that project.
    In the first row (row 2) of the "Open Tasks Summary" table enter the formula: ="" (This is to seed the subsequent formulas below)
    The rest of the formulas follow the form: =IF(Title 1 :: $B2="Open",A2&" "&Title 1 :: $A2,A1)
    Copy these across first and change the title names. Then they can be copied down.
    Finally, match the last column cell to the proper title in your master summary under "Status" by using: =Open Tasks Summary :: A12

  • How to move data from one cell/sheet to another

    Hi - Help! I have a spreadsheet with multiple columns & rows for ordering clothes. The first column is  text of each item & it's size. What I want to do is:
    IF D15 has a number in it, I want that number and the text from A15 to populate into another sheet.
    Then I want to re-create this function in all the cells, so that if ANY cell has a number in it, that number and the text in the A column of that row shows up in the new sheet, in the corresponding cell.
    here's a screen shot of my sheet:
    Any help would be great!!
    Kim

    Hi Kim,
    I got the same error message when building the formula—it's easy to get lost in all the parentheses!
    Here's a breakdown of the formula I used.
    =IF(OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-1,COLUMN())>0,OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-1,COLUMN())&" - "&OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-1,0),"")
    The overall stucture is an IF statement:
    IF(test,"Yes","No")
    IF(there is a value greater than zero in this cell's 'partner' on the main table,
      (then) copy that value here and append the label in column A of the main table, separated by a space, a dash, and a second space,
        (otherwise) put an empty text string here)
    Test: OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-1,COLUMN())>0
    The 'partner' cell on the main table is the one on the same row and one column to the right of the cell containing the formula. (eg. for Summary::B2, the 'partner cell to be tested is Data::C2, the first data cell for Person 2)
    OFFSET(base,r,c)>0 compares the value in the cell r rows below and c columns to the right of the base cell with the value zero.
    Data::$A$1: A1 is my usual choice for the base cell, as it usually simplifies the calculations for r and c.
    ROW()-1: ROW() returns the row number of the row in which it is located. In B2, it will return 2. '-1' reduces that value to 1, the row offset necessary to get from Data::A1 to Data::b2.
    COLUMN(): COLUMN() returns the column number of the column in which it is located. In B2 it will return 2.  No adjustment is necessary, as 2 is the column offset necessary to get from Data::A1 to Data::C2
    OFFSET returns the value in Data::C2 and compares it with 0 (zero). The value (1) is greater than 0, so the test returns TRUE, and the IF function acts on the "yes" section.
    Yes: OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-1,COLUMN())&" - "&OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,ROW()-1,0)
    This section contains two OFFSET statements.
    The first is the same as the one in Test, and returns the value in the tested cell (1).
    The second is the same, except for the third argument (c) which is fixed at 0 (zero). This returns the value in the cell in column A (zero columns to the right of A1) in the same row as the tested cell.
    The two returned values are linked by this expression: &" - "&
    "&" is the concatenation operator, which joins the values left and right of it into a text string. Here, the value returned by the first OFFSET (1) is joined to the text (space-space) contained between the double quotes, and that is joined to the value returned by the second OFFSET function (Item 1)
    No: ""
    If there is no number entered in the Data cell being tested, IF acts on the "no" section of the formula, and inserts an empty string ( "" ) in the cell containing the formula. An empty string displays as 'blank', and is the closest one can get to an 'empty' cell using a formula.
    Regarding your questions:
    "I seem to not understand what I'm supposed to put in the () and " " 's. I copied and pasted it and got the error message "the formula contains an invalid referance". DO i put certain row/cell numbers in somewhere?"
    ROW() and COLUMN() should have no argument entered between the parentheses. Each returns the row or column number of the cell containing the formula.
    The double quotes at the end of the IF statement define a text string with no text. You can put any text between them, but that text will then appear in all cells whose 'partner' cell does not contain a number greater than zero.
    The 'invalid reference' error message usually means a formula is referencing a cell that is not on the table. My guess is that your Summary table includes a copy of column A from your Data table. That would place "Person 1" in column B on both tables, and would require an adjustment of 'COLUMN()' to 'COLUMN()-1' in the first two OFFSET functions.
    Another possibility is a mismatch between the Data table name in the formula and the actual name of the Data table.
    Beyond those possibilities, I'd need to see either the document or screen shots of both tables and a copy of the actual formula as you've entered it.

    Barry

  • Different format in one cell by formula?

    Hi there,
    does someone know if it is possible to grab and connect text with the & operator and set different formats (bold, italic...) with a command in the formula?
    For example I have different lines in one cell done with the CHAR(10) and want to have the last line in bold format. Is this kind of manipulation possible?

    As far as I know, there is no such function.
    We may apply different styles in a cell by hand, not by a formula.
    I checked that the concatenation of the contents of cells with different styles result with a string in standard style.

  • How do I change the colour of text in a cell in a JTable?

    I am trying to change the color of the text in a single cell in a JTable. I have tried not adding a cell renderer and it changes the colour of text in all cells.
    I have tried adding a cell renderer to the table and it does the same ie all cells text colour changes.
    I am able to add a cell renderer to a column and it changes all the cells in the column.
    I cannot figure out how to change just one single cell's text colour without effecting the other cells.

    Ok, so if i create my own cell renderer do I set it as the default renderer for the whole table i.e.
    table.setDefaultRenderer(MyCellRenderer, renderer);
    Does this set one cell renderer for the whole table or is there an individual one for each cell?

  • Is it possible to conditional format more than one cell at a time?

    I'd like to use conditional formatting to compare the value in cell E3 with the valve in cell D3.  Then I'd like to copy the conditional formatting rule I made in cell E3  to cells E4 E5 E6 E7 ETC.  I'd like the E4 to compare to D4. E5 to compare to D5 and so on.  Is there an easy way to do this other than creating the rule for each cell?

    Easier, yes. Instant, no.
    Assuming the only thing that will change in the rule from one cell to the next is the reference to the comparison cell, do this:
    Select all of the cells to be formatted.
    Set the comparison rule to apply to D3.
    At this point all the selected cells in column D will base their conditional formatting on a comparison with the value in E3. The next step is to edit the rules for D4, D5, etc.
    Select cell D4.
    In the rule statement, click on the cell reference E3 to select it, then click on the correct comparison cell for the selected cell (E4 for D4) to replace the reference.
    Repeat with the next cell in column D.

  • Multiple paragraph styles within one cell?

    Maybe I'm missing something real simple but I'm having a bit of an issue with styles.  What I'm trying to do is have the name of a tool in one paragraph style and the description (separated from the name by "-") in another paragraph style - all within the same cell of a table.  Instead, when I try to change styles it changes all text within the cell.  Even if I go back and highlight the tool name and change it to a different style than the description it changes all text including what is not highlighted.  If anyone has a solution I would greatly appreciate it!

    Thanks, Dave!  Nested styles works perfectly.  I figured the solution would've been something simple like this.

  • #MULTIVALUE error when I add Text in a cell

    Hi,
    There is a funny error occurring in the report.
    I have build this report on Excel sheet. The sheet has ONLY 4 rows,(and it always will have 4 rows).
    Following is the format of the Excel sheet:
    Plant    Division           Comment1           Comment2   Week
    1            10                   A                        E                 4
    2            10                   B                        F                 4
    3            10                   C                        G                4
    1            20                   D                        H                 4
    In the report I have made a connection on the Excel sheet. I have made made the fields Plant,Division,Comment1 and Comment2 as Dimensions and Week as Measure.
    In 4 different cells, with 4 combinations on Plant and Division, I want the following output:
    - Comment1: A
    - Comment2: E
    When I put the formula: =([Comment1] where ([Plant]="1" and [Division]="10")) + ([Comment2] where ([Plant]="1" and [Division]="10"))
    it returns Correct Results.
    But when I add Text values in the formula it returns #MULTIVALUE error:
    Example:        ="- Comment1: "+ ([Comment1] where ([Plant]="1" and [Division]="10"))
    Where am I going wrong?
    Thanks,
    Amrita

    Hi Amrita,
    This is because when you are going only with the formula, it will provide you the value for one cell and blank for other.
    But when you are going with the comments as well, you will get 4 values for this. (one for each row)
    1. -Comment1:
    2. -Comment1:
    3. -Comment1:
    4. -Comment1: A
    So when you are selecting this in a single cell it will throw you #Multivalue error.
    Hope it is understood.

  • How to set the text of a cell in Numbers to vertical direction? Tks.

    Hi
    In Numbers, please tell me how to switch the text of a cell to vertical direction?
    Tks.

    Hi Kyle,
    In Numbers, nothing having to do with a table can be rotated. (In Pages an entire Table can be rotated, but not text within a Table.)
    There have been many suggestions posted here over the life of iWork for vertical labels. Most fall into three categories:
    1. Type one letter, Option-Return, type another letter, Option-Return, and so forth.
    2. Type label in a Text Box, rotate the box, position the box over the table, covering the cell where you need a label.
    3. Create a PDF graphic with rotated text and insert it into table cell as Background Fill.
    The third option is clearly the best. The steps for option three are:
    Insert Text Box
    Type label into the box
    Rotate the text box
    Select the text box (not the text inside the box)
    Command-C
    Switch to Preview.app
    Command-N
    Command-C
    Switch to Numbers
    Click on Cell where the label goes
    Command-V
    It sounds worse than it is. You can reuse the Text Box so you don't end up with a sheet full of them.
    Regards,
    Jerry
