How to merge and centre cell on Numbers 3.2?

Hello, I need to merge and centre two cells on Numbers 3.2 and haven't found any way to do it yet?

I used to love merging cells to ge things looking just the way I thought they should. SG and others on this forum have convinced me to avoid it. It does not take much tweaking to get the results I used to get with merged cells.
I entered the text in C1. There are no merged cells. The alignment is right justified. To get it centered on B and C I typed option-tab twice after "Cells". It is a little difficult because you can't see option-tab while you are entering it. Once you leave the cell its affects are manifest.

    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.

  • 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 i select multiple cells in numbers or iPad?

    Hello,
    can you help me? I do not find out how to select multiple cells in a table that do not stand next to each other.
    For example, I want to select cells A1, A3, A9 and so on. Afterwards I want to change the colour.
    Do you have an idea? Perhaps it's quite simple but I don't find the solution
    Sorry, I'm no native english speaker. I hope you'll understand what I am looking for.

    HI Ritscho
    I do not beleive this is possible, I can see other threads here from 2 years ago asking the same thing and none of them have answers.
    You can selesct a range of adjacent cells as Eric said, but not 2 different ranges. I usually use numbers on the iPad for filling in template spreadsheets that I create on my Mac. Most of the formatting I do on the Mac then fill in the blanks whilst i'm out and about.
    Not the answer you were looking for but hope it helps.

  • How to Merge and Sum across columns??

    Hey guys I have an interesting Problem (at least interesting to me:p). I am trying to figure out how to use numbers to collate or group certain column data and then sum the values of the grouped data. below is a snippet from my an error log i've parsed. The final step I need to do is to create a 3 column output where the values are - Error (merged), # Errors (SUM), Error Detail(merged).
    I hope this makes sense and any help is greatly appreciated.

    Well there is a lot of interesting stuff going one here. The Hidden Col formula works great when the Err Code Col is sorted. When Err Code is random, the Hidden Col repeats counts some Err Codes twice thus giving an incorrect total...
    /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
    whereas the sorted Err Code returns the values I think your formula intended
    /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
    Also for some reason I can't get the Table 2 - Col A formula to recognize Table 1 - Err Code as a reference???
    =IF(ROW()-1>MAX(Table 1 :: Hidden),"",LOOKUP(ROW()-1,Table 1 :: Hidden,Table 1::'Error Code'))
    /___sbsstatic___/migration-images/migration-img-not-avail.png
    how the heck do you post a screenshot???

  • How can I format a cell in Numbers to have leading zeros in a number?

    I imported a spreadsheet from Excel (Office 2014, Win 7) through iCloud and some numbers were formatted to have leading zeros (012358) in the original Excel file but the leading zero format was lost in Numbers.  Is there a way to format cells to have a number displayed with the leading zero in Numbers?  The leading zero is part of an identification and is important to the numbers (0027 is not the same as 27 in these records).
    thanks,
    Bob

    James has the formating part, but if you already did the import you can use the following formula to replace the zeros that were leading if you know it is a four digit reference number....
    =right("000" & A2,4)
    copy those values into your text formatted column from James' answer and you got it.

  • How do I add two cells in Numbers

    I know the answer must be really simple, but so far I cannot manage to do a simple calculations.
    All I want to do is add figures from two seperate cells E30 and E31. Each of these cells have the sub totals of cells above, and I just want to have the grand total by adding the numbers in both of the above cells.
    Thanks

    Darrell,
    Berfore we jump to the answer, please allow me to give you the most important suggestion I can: Read the first four chapters of the Numbers User Guide. It's free and can be downloaded from a link in the Help menu. Once you have downloaded it, Save it to your Desktop so it's handy.
    All calculations begin with the equal sign: =
    That signals Numbers that what follows is an expression that must be evaluated. To add two cells, write:
    =Cell1 + Cell2, where Cell1 and Cell2 are cell addresses such as D1 or F2.
    This expression is placed in the cell where you want the answer to appear.

  • How to manipulate and use cell phone operating systems

    I have recently been messinga round with Netbeans 5.0 beta 2 with the MIDP pack. I am really enjoying it, but I am confused on something.
    I have an idea for a program that I want to create, but I want to be able to use it in an actual operating system. For instance, cingular, verizon, etc. all have phones that have operating systems on them. I don't know if they are operating systems as much as user interfaces. I want to know how I would be able to program an application for these systems specifically. Is there a way that you can access the code for these or anything like that? I really don't know how to ask this because I do not know much about the cell phone systems. Could somebody please inform me. Thank you.

    I hate that word only.
    There is no "ONLY" in the world of software. :P, well, I don't like the word "manipulate" either, so any disencourigement would be on it's place ;)
    There are ways to get to the lower level stuff but I
    believe that most Java developers would discourage
    it. The problem with it is that writing for that
    level means that the os is stable. Which is not the
    case. What would that have to do with anything? Palm OS, Symbian, an windows mobile (and even linux), are all stable. The other devices, simply don't have an OS, or at least, don't have an open OS where you can do stuff with. That's the real problem.
    Sure the os that the system uses may be
    excellent. But the next version of the hardware
    might not have the same underlying os. Try writing a
    program for a palm pro and running it on a new palm.
    Backwards compatible is not always there. Since the
    e rate of output from hardware developers is not
    slowing I'd avoid this. That's why you sould keep to api's. They ensure compatibility. Sure it might low stuff down sometimes, but who cares?
    Having said that. There is nothing like writing some
    low level code that pushes the edges of the hardware
    in directions even the os builders didn't think to
    go. Mind you java might not be the tool to do that.Very true, but this is out side of the scope of this forum, and therefor irrelevant.
    If you really want to do low level code, buy a nice cpu, make your own PCB and start programming without any api's, or even do it in assembler!

  • How to merge to frequencies together and play it? I have a program that outputs two numbers everytime and those numbers in Hz. I want to merge those two different frequencies and play the sound.

    Hi there
    I have a program that reads from a table done in excel and finds two numbers from the table(they're different all the time). Those numbers are represented in Hz. What I want now is how to merge those two numbers as frequencies and output them and hear them from the speaker as audio. I also have the part of hearing them done but I can't figure out a way to have it connected so that it doesn't matter which numbers come up, it'll update it accordinaly. I appreciate any helpers.
    Thanks a lot

    Then I'm not sure what you're doing, or what your definition of "add" is. Here is the example I posted, with Signal 1 at 250 Hz and Signal 2 at 500 Hz:

  • How do I set the border preferences when formatting cells in Numbers?  After I make my selections and close the drop down menu, nothing happens.

    How do I set border preferences when formatting cells in Numbers?  When I use the drop down menu under Inspector, and set the preferences I want, a blue line shows up in the appropriate cell or cells to which I want to apply a border.  When I close the menu, the blue line goes away and there is no border.

    Jerry,
    I'm sorry for the intrusion on this thread. I had only made a simple comment, and then others responded. It was not my intention, especially since the original question was marked as answered. I will direct responses to any comments I make in fture postings that deviate from the OP's question to a newly created topic if I need a response, if not, I will just add a statement at the end of my comments to please not respond.
    As to your diagram, it is the ability to select the non-contiguous cells, and then be able to simulataneously select a specific part of the border edge, and then be able to change them all at once that I was after. That is something that is not possible in Numbers. It seems that in your diagram the "before", was attained by selecting each cell one at a time, and changing its border edge, one at a time. Then, in the "after", selecting the non-contiguous cells and changing the "Stroke" settings for the lines was attained simultaneously since that is possible in Numbers.
    If I am correct in how you attained the results in your diagram, that wasn't really what I was trying to achieve, since if the option were not grayed out, it would only select the same border edge on all selected cells. If I am incorrect, then I would like to have your input.
    Once again, sorry for allowing my comment to develop as it did.

  • How do I split cells in Numbers 3.2?

    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.
