How do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

how do I make a drop down list of text in numbers as it is made in the example spreadsheet for comparing cars for buying where you can choose a value from a dropdown list for each car?

Where is this example spreadsheet? Without seeing it I can only guess at what you are asking.
To make a drop-down list (a pop-up menu in Numbers-speak), format the cell as a pop-up then edit and add to the list of items.
If the example spreadsheet is pulling in a dollar value based on what car you chose in the pop-up, it is probably using LOOKUP or one of the other lookup functions, getting the information from another table (a lookup table). If, instead, these dollar values are what you are choosing in the pop-up, then you need to create a pop-up with these values in it.
The Help menu includes a link to a page where you can download the Numbers Users Manual. It also has a link to the Formulas and Functions guide. Both are useful to new users.

  • How do I make a drop down list required?

    I'm trying to make a form that has two drop down boxes that I need to make required. currently, no matter what I put as the first item or in the initial values, it won't detect when someone hasn't selected anything, because it just counts the first item as being valid. Is there a way to set the first item as not being valid? I've tried setting the value of the first item to:
    null = --please select --
    which doesn't work. Does anyone know how to do this?
    If you need more info please let me know.

    Based on above scenario i expect that you are using OOTB form components (like drop down etc...).
    If yes, then you can achieve it easly by setting up constraint value as required under "constraint" tab and dont initialize "default value" under "initial values" tab.
    If above will not help as per your requirement. Then try below.
    The form (drop down component) configured using 'selection' widget (xtype) so you can configure this property as not null by setting 'allowBlank' property as below.
    name                 type                value
    allowBlank         boolean           false
    I hope this will help you. Let me know if it doesn't work

  • My drop-down list won't appear anymore so every time I want to go to a new site I have to type it in where before my drop-down box would appear and I could just click it and hit search and go there how do I make my drop-down box come back

    somehow I must've clicked a button that took away my drop down box when I go to use my Google search so different sites that I go to a lot I would always just click it when the drop-down box came up I would click again and hit search and you would bring that page up but even if I go to a site once I leave that I try to click and make the drop-down box come up again with the new search and it nothing happens so the problem is I need my drop down box to come back up to all the places that I visit kind of like a history of like I said I would just click and it would come up by itself now the drop-down box won't come up anymore so I need somebody to tell me what to do to bring my drop-down box back also I am new to computers so I don't know a lot so don't be real technical thanks for the help merry Christmas from Joe

    It's not a matter of me assuming to restore it, once the error comes up, the only next step I can do is to restore it. I can't access any of the iphones settings in itunes or anything, it's a mandatory restore. If I just cancel the sync (before restoring) and disconnect the phone, all my apps crash on opening: aka unusable phone. So I have literally no choice but to restore every time the error shows up if I want my phone to work.
    I have no idea where I may have duplicate files as it doesn't tell me, so if that is the problem (which I don't think it is) then I don't know where I have to go to delete the duplicates.
    And the duplicate file error still doesn't explain why leaving iTunes to restore the phone doesn't work and me having to drag the window around. I know it sounds utterly ridiculous, my friend didn't believe me when I told him either but then I showed him and he was as confused as I am. If I just leave the restore to do its own thing at it's own pace, it will loa maybe 20% then fail for whatever reason.

  • How do I make a drop down menu selection show up in another web page?

    What I am trying to accomplish is this.  I have a page with various drop down menu selections that I want to transfer the selection to a secured web page. What happens now is once the selection is made it goes to the secure page but then the user has to again select the choice again.  Is there way to keep the selection chosen in the linked page?

    You can set the "selected" value in the second page based on the input from the first page.
    Ignor the language referance used below for the example and simple use the concept with your desired language.
    Second Page form:
    <form id="form1" name="form1" method="post" action="">
      <select name="testing" id="testing">
        <option value="Value 1" <% if ( Passed values == Value 1 ) { %>selected="selected"<% } %>>Lable 1</option>
        <option value="Value 2" <% if ( Passed values == Value 2 ) { %>selected="selected"<% } %>>Lable 2</option>

  • HT1766 Can an iCloud backup not belong to you but appear on the list of backups you can choose to restore from?

    Recently I removed my SIM from my 4S and after some time I realized that the Viber messages along with some other content was gone. Someone told me that this was a security mechanism. I tried to restore the missing content by completely resetting my iPhone and restoring from an earlier iCloud backup. Now, here comes the weird part, the backups listed were indeed from my device but the Apple ID that the phone asked me to confirm in order to proceed with the media restore wasn’t mine. How can this be? Does this mean that iCloud was compromised and someone got access to my account? What’s the implications of this? Are iCloud backups encrypted, or do I have to change every single password and authenticator access that was on my phone? Anyone encountered the same issue?

    Cancel this question.  I went into my pictures and there they were. Uhhhh DUH!!!
      Gotta love iCloud!!!  Thanks guys for putting up with my silly question!  At least I gave some of you a good laugh.  Have a great day and thanks for letting me play awhile in here!!!

  • Does anyone know how to Add a date drop down list to a pdf file?

    Can someone tell me how to add a Date drop down list in a form

    There's no built-in function that does that in Acrobat, but there are some third-party tools that do.
    The two most known ones are by FormRouter, which is free and based on form fields (but also a bit buggy), and a non-free version created by Max Wyss, which is based on a dialog object.

  • With this new itunes I see you can download old song from other p.cs if they are listed in your itunes with a could next to them. How do I make it so I see the songs on my new itunes on a different computer?

    When I first downloaded itunes 11 I saw all my old song that are on another computer listed in my itunes list on my laptop with a little cloud with an arrow in it next to the songs from my old itunes. When I updated to 11.1 the cloud icon stayed in the top part of the itunes list where you can click name, artist, all that to organize you itunes list but the songs from my old account were gone. I can't remember how, but some how I tuned the songs back on, if you will and all my old songs repaired with the clouds next to them. Well my boyfriend has the cloud smiple in his organize list thing, but no songs from his old itunes list of a different computer like me and he wants those songs back. I have been trying for hours to re-watch the itunes and icloud tutorials but because of my slow wi-fi I can't get the videos to load and they keep freezing my itunes so I can't even shut it down without restarting my laptop, so I need some help on remebering how to make the old songs show up in his itunes. Can anyone please help? By the way we both have Windows 7.

    If you go to settings>music there should be a setting to show all music. Turn that off, and the cloud purchases should disappear. You may need to restart the phone to take efect

    Hello,
    Check what is done in standard for the fielf REGION which is inked to the country.
    Otherwise, you can do the following :
    - in field group customizing, for field 1, flag the 'send request' flag. So, when you change the value in this field via the dropdown, the MAC methods are immediately called.
    - Put the new value in a global variable (GV).
    - in the fill_dropdown_listbox method, get the value from this GV and based on it, filter the values for the dropdown of field 2.
    Hope this will help you,
    Regards,

  • Filtering values in a dropdown list box

    Hello Team
    In the BSP application CRM_IC, we want a drop down list box to be filled based on the entry selected from another dropdown list box. We have all the entries for the second drop down box in ABAP internal table .However, we do not want a server round trip to happend in doing so. Thus we have used the attribute 'Onclientselect' and we are trying to call a java script function call on this event to filter this ABAP internal table . In this function, we would like to fill the contents of the second dropdown list box after reading the contents of the first dropdown list box. Please advice us as to how this can be achieved. Basically, we observed that ABAP server side script is not executed in the java function.
    Thanks
    Rony

    Rony,
    I have used the following technique to synchronize the
    contents of two drop down list boxes.
    <b>Scenario:</b>
    The selection in listbox ddlbxSystemEquipNum, which I
    will call "A", determines the contents of listbox
    ddlbxModuleEquipNum, which I will call "B".
    I use a JavaScript array to shadow the ABAP internal
    table containing the possible values for listbox B.
    When the page is initially displayed, listbox B is
    populated from the ABAP internal table.
    When a new selection is made in listbox A, I use the
    onClientSelect event to call a JavaScript function,
    updateModuleList(), to update the contents of listbox B
    from the JavaScript shadow array based on the selected
    value in listbox A.
    <b>Code Excerpts:</b>
    <u>Declare the JavaScript shadow array and listbox B update function</u>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        var moduleArray = new Array();
        function updateModuleList() {
            var selSystem = frmNrg1100.ddlbxSystemEquipNum;
            var selModule = frmNrg1100.ddlbxModuleEquipNum;
            // Get selected system equipment number
            var selected_system =
                    selSystem.options[selSystem.selectedIndex].value;
            // Clear module select options
            selModule.options.length = 0;
            // Add module select options for the selected system
            var j = 0;
            for (var k = 0; k < moduleArray.length; k++) {
                if ( (selected_system == moduleArray[k].system) ||
                                         moduleArray[k].system == "") {
                    selModule.options[j++] = new Option(moduleArray[k].text,
                                   moduleArray[k].value,
                                   moduleArray[k].selected) ;
    </script>
    <u>Specify the onClientSelect event handler on list box A</u>
    <htmlb:dropdownListBox
        id = "ddlbxSystemEquipNum"
        width      = "400"
        onClientSelect = "updateModuleList()"
    <u>ABAP and JavaScript to populate internal table and shadow array of possible values for listbox B</u>
    <%
    loop...
            wa_module_options-system   = wa_customer_tool-equipment_num_t.
            wa_module_options-text     = tool_list_text.
            wa_module_options-value    = wa_customer_tool-equipment_num_m.
            wa_module_options-selected = selected.
            append wa_module_options to module_options.
    %>
    <script language="javascript" type="text/javascript">
        // Add all possible Module select options to a JavaScript array of objects
        moduleArray[moduleArray.length] = {  system:"<%=wa_module_options-system %>",
                                               text:"<%=wa_module_options-text %>",
                                              value:"<%=wa_module_options-value %>",
                                           selected:"<%=wa_module_options-selected %>" } ;
    </script>
    <%
    endloop.

  • I am being forced to create 3 security question from your dropdown list and I can choose the questions but can't enter anything in the answer field??

    I am being forced to create 3 security question from your dropdown list and I can choose the questions but can't enter anything in the answer field??

    The problem is twenty three people leaving or twenty three thousand leaving has zero impact on a carrier with over 100 million customers. And they have the lowest churn rate. So if 10,000 or 20,000 or more churn out it means little to the carrier.
    If you have a real lawyer he/she will advise you that you have no case. The device was not lost or stolen by the carrier, you were not eligible for a new device, and like any business who employs large numbers of poorly trained personnel who make low wages what was told to you is not in writing. So a verbal exchange does not hold up.
    In fact in Verizon's customer agreement it has such a disclaimer against any verbal exchanges so if you have that agreement in writing, go get them.
    The posting on public forums and places like Face Book, Linkin, Google+ or a personal web site can open you up to a lawsuit for Dilution of Trade Name, and other offences. However if you have proof then go for it.
    Unfortunately that is how big business works today. A pity
