How do you highlight several cells with the mouse in numbers

how do you highlight several cells with the mouse in numbers

Hi David,
Using only the mouse, you can select a contiguous range of cells using the method described by dwb.
For larger (but still contiguous) ranges you might prefer this method:
Click the first (top left) cell of the desired selection.
Scroll to the last (botom right) cell of the desired selection.
Shift-click the bottom right cell to select it, and all of the cells in the rectangular array defined by this and the top left cell selected in step 1.
To select two or more non-contiguous cells:
Click on the first to select it.
Command-click on another to add it to the selection.
Repeat as necessary.

Barry

How to print a specific cell in numbers

how to print a specific cell in numbers?

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.
See the Numbers '09 User Guide for other useful tools and techniques. Download the guide via the Help menu in Nuimbers.

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.

How do you delete extra "sheets in Numbers program? Everytime I start a new document it adds extra sheets..

Hi Beast,
You might find it easier to duplicate the whole doc and delete the sheets you don't want. Otherwise you are copying and pasting tables from each sheet.

How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

How do you scan a document from printer to convert to PDF?

Have the scanner connected to the computer.
Have the scanner software installed.
Check the scanner manufacturer's website for the most recent / updated drivers and install same.
Have Acrobat XI installed.
While Acrobat XI can make use of Windows WIA drivers Acrobat "likes" TWAIN drivers best.
So, if available, have the latest-greatest TWAIN.
Acrobat can communicate with the scanner via the scanner software.
An alternative --
Scan directly to TIFF. Then use Acrobat to create PDF from the TIFF.
Some scanners come with software to output to PDF directly; if present you could use that.
Be well...

When i use imessage on my ipnone 4 it comes up as my email on my wifes iphone. how do i fix this to where it shows up as my phone number?

when i use imessage on my ipnone 4 it comes up as my email on my wifes iphone. how do i fix this to where it shows up as my phone number?

Had the same problem and trying to remember how I fixed it. Let's see...
Try this:
1) Settings > Messages > Receive At > Use your Apple ID for iMessage > make sure you are logged out from Apple / iTunes.
2) under "You can be reached for messages at:" > make sure only your phone number shows and no email address.
Hope that works, if not I just can't remember what else I did. However I got it working so that my tel number now shows to iMessage recipients instead of my email address.

How do you populate a page item in apex with a value read from excel

Dear All
I am working on application where I am uploading a csv file in oracle apex. I then need to access a value in Cell B2 of the csv file and populate a page item called
:P2100_AUTHORISATION_ID with this value. Many of the examples I have found upload the data using v_data-array into a table but I don't need to do that I just need to get the value from the csv file and then display additional information about the file allowing the user to either or continue or cancel the request to upload. I am running into a small problem that I can't explain and wondered if anyone had any ideas.
Here is the code I am using to try and populate and item called :P2100_AUTHORISATION_ID but when I poulate the item the value is always 0. But if I replace the line :P2100_AUTHORISATION_ID:= v_data_array(2) with a raise_application_error(-20001,v_data_array(2)); The correct value is displayed in the eror. Any Help would be appreciate and I apologise in advance if this akes no sense at all:-)

Hi Joel
Continuing on from my last question, there was something else I want to ask if you dont mind.
Now that I have the v_data_array(2) value in a page item I would like to use as an input value to a procedure to return some information I need displayed on the page. To do this I need to convert it to a number but when I try to so this I get the following error
ORA-06502: PL/SQL: numeric or value error: character to number conversion error
When I use the wwv_flow.debug that you told me about it is outputting a value '4851 ' so it look like there may be some sort of asii character causing a problem. I have tried using trim(v_data_array(2)) and ascii(v_data_array(2)) but nothing seems to work.
Would you know how to convert a v_data_array value to a number? At the moment I am attemting to do it withiin the same code I attached in my earlier post but I have replaced the assignment of :P2100_AUTHORISATION_ID with the code below where P_BL_WD_DATA_ENTRY.getauthid is the procedure returning the values I need.
:P2100_AUTHORISATION_ID:= P_BL_WD_DATA_ENTRY.getauthid(to_number(v_data_array(2)));
Thanks

How do you make charts in the Numbers app on the iPad?

I've followed the guides, asked Geniuses and spoken with AppleCare on how to implement charts within the iPad Numbers app. So far I haven't been able together any help or suggestions.
I am trying to create a pie chart showing some data for an investment portfolio. So maybe 6 investments totalling 100%. When I select the data first and click on create a chart, it brings up one single segment showing 100%. If I add the data afterwards it does the same, sometimes when you click change from rows to columns will it bring up more than one segment, but not always. It also does not show the chart labels with the input data, and just leaves them as coloured dots.
I have found one one, way is to click individual pieces of data, so 6 clicks in this example, but it still doesn't show the labels and I can't work out how to make it do this.
It shouldn't be this hard, to create on of the new beautiful charts as advertised for this app, but yet no one at apple seems to know how it works, and suggest its either a bug or that the app isn't powerful enough to create charts?
I have tried on a first and third generation iPad, as well as on my pone 3GS and 4S but none of these work either.
Please help.......
Thanks
Nick

Start with your table. Create the table and values you need
Select the values to include by tapping on one cell and then dragging the selection handles
When "Create Chart" Appears, tap it and select your chart type (pie in this case) - the chart will appear as 100% filled, don't worry.
Tap the chart once and then tap Edit References - this will reveal a Gear Menu in the upper right
Tap the gear and select "Plot Rows as Series" or "Plot Coumns as Series" as needed
You should now have a pie chart that you can modify the style to your liking.
Good Luck

How do you make it stop increasing numbers/letters automatically???

If I want to drag up or down to copy text or numbers from one cell to another the program automatically increases the number by one or the letter by the next letter. Drag 1 and it increases the next entry to 2, drag a and it changes the next letter to b. How do you stop it from doing this?
Thanks

Your value is incrementing because it's a member of the first set as described in my post: "text strings ending in a number"
You can prevent the increment by any of the following actions:
Enter "11x14" (no quotes) in each of the top two cells. Select both, then drag the Fill control to fill down.
Enter ="11x14" (with the quotes) in the top cell of the column. Fill down.
Enter " 11x14 " (no quotes, but do include the space after 14 if the cells will have text aligned left, or both spaces if the cells will have text centered) in the top cell. Fill Down
Include the inch symbols in your entry in the first cell: 11"x14" Fill down.
This sets a zero increment. The value still increments, but the increment is zero.
Each value is set by the equation. When all are set, you may find the table's speed improves if you then Copy the whole column, then go Edit > Paste Values to eliminate the need to constantly recalculate the formulas.
Seemed like something that should work (it's the same technique as used in #4), but the spaces are stripped when the value is filled into the next row, even if non-breaking spaces (option-space) are used. Pity.
This works as the text string no longer ends with a number. Several other characters could be used, but not a space, a period ('decimal'), or anything else that would let Numbers interpret the end f his text string as a number.
With 25 000 rows to fill, I would not use the Fill control to do the filling. It's going to get awfully slow and tedious.
Fortunately, it's not the only method to fill a column with the same value.
With #2 or #4, you can:
Enter the value in the first cell.
Click on the column reference tab to select the entire column.
Commmand-click on any cells above the one in which you put the value to remove them, one at a time, from the selection.
With the cell containing the value and all cells below it selected, go Insert > Fill > Fill Down.
for #2 only, with all cells now containing the formula still selected, Copy
Go Edit > Paste Values
The above steps won't work with #1, and Fill Down fills only the contents of the cell at the top of the column, and the value will increment as it's filled.
For #1, #2 or #4:
Enter the value in the first two cells.
Select both cells and Copy
Click on the column reference tab to select the entire column.
Commmand-click on any cells above the one in which you put the value to remove them, one at a time, from the selection.
With the two cells containing the value and all cells below them selected, Paste.
For #2, continue with the two extra steps above.
"Let's see 14" + 26037" =... Well surely you can see how expensive the frame is going to be?"
The frame? The mat itself is going to be expensive enough. I've never seen a piece of mat material over 650 metres long!
One more thing...
Before you commit to doing this with Numbers, I'd suggest making a dummy table with the number of rows of data you expect to reach.
The easiest and most efficient way to do that is to
fill in one full row of data, Then fill that down to the end of your initial table.
then..
Click on a cell in the bottom row, Select All and Copy.
Add a row, click in it's first cell, Paste
Scroll to the bottom of the table.
Repeat the above three steps until you have about 20 000 rows.
Now check the speed of data entry as you add another 'real' record to the table..
Numbers tends to be pretty pokey with large tables, especially if those tables include (multiple) Header rows and columns or Footer rows.
Better to find out if you can live with it before you've entered a few thousand records.
Now if I can find my spear and magic helmet, I'm off in search of that wascally wabbit.

How Do You Populate A Spark List Control With An Array?

Hello, all,
Sorry to come accross so frustrated, but how in the name of God do you populate a Spark list control with the data in an array? You used to be able to do this with the mx:List control, but the guys developing Flex just had to make things more difficult than they need to be! I am more of a code purist and prefer doing things the way they have been done for decades, but apparently nothing can ever stay simple!
I simply want to populate a list control with an array and this shouldn't be rocket science! I found out that I must use a "collection" element, so I decided that an arrayCollection would be best. However, after searching Adobe's documentation about arrayCollections, I am lost in a black hole of data binding, extra lines of code just to add a new element, the need to sort it, etc...!
Here is my code:
var pendingArray:ArrayCollection = new ArrayCollection();
for ( var i:int = 0 ; i < queue.length ; i++ )
     var item:UserQueueItem = queue[i] as UserQueueItem ;
     if ( item.status == UserQueueItem.STATUS_PENDING )
     pendingArray.addItem({label:item.descriptor.displayName,descriptor:item.descriptor});
Here is the relevant MXML:
<s:VGroup>
     <s:List id="knockingList" width="110" height="100"/>
</s:VGroup>
I'm not getting any errors, but the list is not populating.
I have seen several examples where the arrayCollection is declared and populated in MXML:
        <mx:ArrayCollection id="myAC">
            
            <fx:Array id="myArray">
                <fx:Object label="MI" data="Lansing"/>
                <fx:Object label="MO" data="Jefferson City"/>
                <fx:Object label="MA" data="Boston"/>
                etc...
           </fx:Array>
        </mx:ArrayCollection>
That may be fine for an example, but I think this is a rare situation. Most of the time I would image that the arrayCollection would be created and populated on the fly in ActionScript! How can I do this?
Thanks in advance for any help or advice anyone can give!
Matt

In your post it seemed like you were trying to take care of many considerations at once: optimization, design, architecture. I would suggest you get something up and running and then worry about everything else.
If I use data binding, then I will probably have to declare the arrayCollection as a global variable and then I'll have to write 100 or so extra lines of code to addItem(), removeItem(), sort(), etc... It just seems like too much overhead.
I believe you may have some misconceptions about databinding in general. You won't have to make it a global variable and you certainly won't need an extra 100 lines of code. If you did this forum would be a very , very quiet place.
I don't want to use data binding because the original array is refreshed often and there is one function called by an event that re-declares the arrayCollection each time, populates it with the array, and then sets it as the list's dataprovider.
That is the beauty of the ArrayCollection, it can handle the updates to its source Array. I don't know if you need to redeclare the ArrayCollection, resetting the source to the new Array allows everyone involved to keep their references so you don't have to worry about any "spooky" stuff going on.
