How do I split cells in Numbers 3.2?

Hey big one,
I don't believe you can split cells in Numbers 3.2. It has not been not considered a good practice because it can lead to trouble down the line. This is true about merging also. I used to do a lot of that in '09. What I have found that I can generally get the looks I am after (getting text to span multiple columns for instance) by turning off "wrap text in cell" and playing with the justification.
Hope this is in some way helpful.

How can I split cells in Numbers 3.0.1

I cannot find the cell split option on the latest version on Numbers - can anyone point me in the right direction - thank you

Hi Nick,
Got it. The purer "spreadsheet way" to avoid duplication of data would be to record commissions in a separate table, and extract the sums corresponding to each "heading" with a formula, something like this:
The formula in D2, copy pasted down, is:
=SUMIF(Commissions::$A,$A2,Commissions::$C)
This says, add up everything in column C of the Commissions table where the value in column A of the Commissions table is the same as the value in column A of this row.
This takes a one-time setup (and you have to make sure the values in column A of both tables are consistent) but thereafter there are advantages. Among them, you can sort and filter your transactions or your commissions to get different views.
Splitting and merging cells in spreadsheets generally spells trouble, even in Numbers 2.3, though it sounds as if you've been lucky.

How do i lock cells in numbers

How do I lock cells in Numbers? I'm trying to create a spread sheet that will have unused cells and I want to lock them so my associates don't accidentally fill them in and cause the finished product to look muddled.

Wayne,
I previously could lock tables in my Numbers tables in my Spreadsheets by tapping the top left corner and it would show up as an option to lock it. As of Numbers 2.0 (noticed today), I get the option to unlock tables, but not to relock them after making the corrections.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

How to print selected cells in numbers

Does anyone know how to print selected cells in a Numbers spreadsheet, rather than printing the entire sheet?
Also, how to save the selected cells as a pdf file without saving the irrelevant cells?

Hi nmygs,
How about this?
Cell A1 is a Pop-Up Menu containing names of the various "Departments"
Other cells contain formulas to find a match for whatever is chosen in A1 from the Very Big Data Table.
Reusable Print Me table.

How do i delete cells in numbers

How do I delete cells in Numbers

Delete as in "delete the contents of"? Select the cell and hit Delete
Delete as in it goes away and other cells shift into its place? Not a feature of Numbers. You can delete an entire column or row but not a single cell. You can select surrounding cells and move them up or over one cell, thereby overwriting the cell to be "deleted".

Printing Sheets? How do you split cells?

Hello
I'm trying to print a sheet which is about 10 pages long.
The cells are filled with large amounts of text and i'm trying to figure out how to print the cells so they continue from page to page by splitting them in their print format rather than having half an empty page and starting a fresh cell on the next page?
Does this make sense and if so, can anyone help?
Thanks

There is a simple workaround : split your huge pieces of text by yourself.
If you want, I may write a script doing that.

How do I split cells?

Dear friends,
I am having some hard time splitting cells inside table. I used to operate the earlier version of Dreamweaver which was easy to work, but having an hard time with CC.
While trying to split cells the options is not highlighting, can someone help me with this...

Hello Hyder GD,
possibly even an alternative to Ben's "Split Cell" - what is working in my (German) DW could be "Insert Rows or Columns..."
A window opens (sorry it's German):
where you can choose "Zeilen oder Spalten einfügen" (something like "Insert Rows or Columns"), in your case "Anzahl der Spalten" ("Number of columns") and "Wo" (Where) "Vor/nach aktueller Spalte" ("Before/After current column").
Good luck!

How do I take cell phone numbers off of my iCloud account.

I have all of my devices under the same accounts, both itunes and icloud. I originally used the smae itunes account on all my family member devices so that we could share all of our purchases. And the same cloud account so that we can share calanders and photostream(which has been very useful). But now Im finding out that I can select my wifes or daughters phone number and receive their imessages on my phone, or my ipad, air etc... I dont want to be tempted to read their messages and I certainly dont want them reading mine. Is there any way to manage my icloud addresses and pull our cellular numbers off the list so that no one can read each others messages. Ive been reading many similar posts on this forum but am surprised to find that no one else has the same problem.

iMessage is separate from your iCloud account and does not use or even require an iCloud account. To avoid getting each others text messages, just have everyone use a different Apple ID for iMessage (it doesn't need to be the same as thier iCloud ID). Have your other family members go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive on their devices, tap the ID, sign out, then sign in with separate IDs to keep everyone's text messages separated. To avoid getting each other's FaceTime calls, have them do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

How can I format cells in numbers to display swim times?

I need to list swim times in a numbers spread sheet. Swim times are listed as 2:17.75, meaning 2 minutes, 17 seconds and 75 hundreths of a second. Numbers automatically changes this to 2 m 17s and 750mm, or 2 h 18m 15s. I have tried to make a custom format, but nothing seems to work. Can I override all formating and just type what I want to?
Thanks

How do I swap cell phone numbers on family account

How do you exchange phone (s) within a family account? Example - I take my daughters 5c phone and switch my number to it, she takes my old 4s phone and switches here number to it?

You need to get new SIM cards from your carrier. You can't just swap them because the 4s and 5c use different size cards.

Using numbers 2.3 how do i split windows to view more than 1 spreadsheet at a time?

using numbers 2.3 how do i split windows to view more than 1 spreadsheet at a time?

Hi seth,
Numbers vocabulary:
Spreadsheets (aka: Document)
contain one or more Sheets
on each of which may be placed one or more Tables
each of which contains one or more cells
each of which may contain either data or a formula.
Spreadsheets open in separate windows. Depending on the contents of each spreadsheet, and the scale at which you want to see it (and the size of your display), you can view more than one spreadsheet in the same manner as you can view more than one of any kind of document—open two documents in separate windows. Resize the windows to allow both to be viewed at the same time. Place and scale the individual documents to permit viewing the desired part of each
Sheets within the same document cannot be displayed simultaneously. You can make and open a copy of the document, then open and view both copies as described above, but this introduces new opportunities to edit the wrong copy. You could Copy a Table from one part of the document, open Preview and go File > New from Clipboard to create a PDF copy of that table (readable, but not editable), and view the spreadsheet and pdf documents as described above.
Tables can be rearranged, or have rows or columns (or both) hidden to permit simultaneous viewing of selected parts of both.
A Table can have Table > Freeze Header Rows and Table > Freeze Header Columns set to keep these rows/columns visible as the rest of the table is scrolled. Or can have a range of rows (or columns) hidden to allow viewing of rows (columns) adjacent to that range visible on the same screen.
Numbers does not support freezing of rows or columns other than Header rows and Header Columns.

Barry

How can I split these numbers 05/24/2014,"55","15","49","16","28","18","2", pnto different columns?

How can I split these numbers 05/24/2014,"55","15","49","16","28","18","2", pnto different columns?

replace:
with a tab
copy the text:
05/24/2014,"55","15","49","16","28","18","2"
into a text box, then replace the "," with a single tab and replace the ," with a tab, then replace ", with a tab
then copy, then select a cell, then paste
05/24/2014,"55","15","49","16","28","18","2"
ends up looking like:
05/24/2014 55 15 49 16 28 18 2 (do NOT copy and paste from here... the forum replaces the tabs with spaces... so it won't work)
when you copy and paste into a table in Numbers it looks like:

Copy the cell (contents), Paste onto a page of a separate document, or onto a separate sheet of your Numbers document, Print.
Or insert a single cell table onto your Numbers document, type an = sign in the cell then click on the cell you want to print. Drag the new table to a second sheet, set up your page there, and print.

How can I insert an image into a cell in Numbers for iPad?

Hi,
is there any way to insert an image inside a cell using Numbers for iPad? I tried doing it on desktop version and it works, then I shared it through iwork.com and downloaded into my iPad and it's showing fine on the iPad ( although there's no way to edit or change the image inside the cell ) but when I try to do the same task on iPad itself, the image always comes floating even if I place the cursor inside a cell before inserting.
any idea how to do it or if it's even possible?
thanks.
John

Images can be added to cells only as "image fill." Cell fill is an attribute of the cell, not content of the cell. Only cell content can be retrieved by a formula or by copying the content of the cell.
Copying the cell will also copy its format, including the image fill, but I've found no way to extract the image from the cell.

Barry

How do i print selected cells in numbers?

how do i print selected cells in numbers?

As I'm lazy, I use this script and paste where I want.
--{code}
set the clipboard to (the clipboard as «class PDF »)
--{code}
I made a test which gave a funny result.
Given a Numbers document with a chart.
I selected the chart, the title and the legends
then I grouped these objects.
Select all
copy
run the script
I pasted in the sheet to be able to take a screenshot.
It's a bit inconsistent.
Text values are passed when they are in cells
They are passed when they are used as value labels in the chart
but they aren't passed when they are chart's title or legend's components.
Funny behavior, the graphic symbols are moved in the process to the location where they would be if the text components were nil strings.
No comment upon a table's title which can't be selected with the table itself.
