How to replace text in selected cells in Numbers 3?

I want to replace a few words in Numbers 3, but I can't find where I can limit the replacement within chosen cells.
In previous version, there was a drop down list I can choose to limit the replacement to chosen cells or current sheet.
But now when I use replace all, it will replace all words in all sheets.
Anyone knows how to do it?
Thanks!
Allan

The Find Replace in Selection Automator Service (Dropbox download) can do what you want.
To install, double-click the .workflow package and, if necessary, click 'Open Anyway' in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
To use, make your selection in a table, then choose Find Replace in Selection from the Numbers > Services menu.

    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 to i print only selected cells in a spreadsheet?

    How do you print only selected cells in a spreadsheet using Numbers?

    The easiest way is to export it to Excel and save that file to a Windows machine. Then, File->Print Selection. Kidding. Sort of. Like all of the Apple "productivity" software, Numbers has about a thousand things no one uses and does not have the simple things one wants.

  • Hello, I would like to know how to add or delete single cell in numbers.

    Hello, I would like to know how to add or delete single cell in numbers.

    If by delete you really mean clear the contents of a cell, then just click once on the cell and hit the 'delete' button.
    Before:
    After hitting delete button:
    In some circumstances you can actually delete one cell.
    For example here, I make this choice:
    Resulting in this:
    So it's not strictly true that Numbers does not delete one cell, ever.  It can if you have a one-column table. 
    So never say never or not ever! Enough pedantry for today!

  • How do I print or export only selected cells in Numbers?

    Does anyone know how to do this in Numbers? I have been trying to do this for well over an hour...... I have looked at other posters' questions first, all the way back to 2008 in fact. The closest I have seen to an answer (and it is a workaround, not a true answer) is copy the selected cells into a new sheet. I have been using software spreadsheets (Lotus 123 and later Excel) going back to the mid-1980's. I cannot remember the last time I could not do this.
    Friends, I do realize that many of the workarounds would have taken far less time than what I have invested, please do not feel the need to point that out. I am heading for a workaround right now as I have run out of time to devote to this task. Also, please do not suggest that I should "capture" the data by copying a screen shot to the clipboard or have it dump a .png on my desktop. Most of us here should know how to do that by now but that does not address the underlying issue of how to provide only a select piece of a spreadsheet to a 3rd party in a professional looking format. Well, off to copy and paste........
    Thanks in advance,
    Bill G.
    Update (15 min later):
    Boy, I hope one of you out there knows the solution to this. Copy and paste the selected area does not work either. You lose (this was an "Oh, duh!" sort of moment BTW) any figures populated by calculations not in the selection area.
    Need to go eat, will try to feed the values in the new table from the same calculations in the first table. I can do that easily in Excel, I just have not tried it yet in Numbers. I am optomistic that it will work.
    Thanks again,
    Bill G.

  • 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.

    Jerry

  • 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?

  • How do I double underline a cell in Numbers

    Ummm, the heading is pretty much my question.

    The only way(s) I can think of are:
    - underline the text in the cell with a double underline.  You can open the text panel by using the menu item "format > Font > Show Fonts":
    - make a narrow row below the row rou want to have a double underline and format so the top and bottom borders are a solid line:

    As I can understand you want to make some of the screen field to disable or visible on screen  depending upon the interaction of user with screen 1.
    You may use this example code in PBO of screen 2.
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
        " action has been taken to modify the area office screen as per the option chosen at screen 99.
        CASE ACTION.
            " if the user has taken up the option of UPLOAD
          WHEN 'UP'.     " screen processing while we upload the plan
            " during upload we will make dates as output fields only
            IF SCREEN-NAME = 'ZSDTPLANVRSIO-DAT_TO' OR SCREEN-NAME = 'ZSDTPLANVRSIO-DAT_FRM'.
              SCREEN-INPUT = 0.
              MODIFY SCREEN.
            ENDIF.
            " also make 2 buttons disabled
            IF SCREEN-NAME = 'AO_DO' OR SCREEN-NAME = 'AO_VE'.
              SCREEN-ACTIVE = 0.
              MODIFY SCREEN.
            ENDIF.
          WHEN 'DN'.      " screen processing while we upload the approved plan

  • How to limit text in a cell

    I have a spreadsheet that a column can only contains 30 characters, how can I easily make numbers either identify those over 30 characters or chop off the extra ones?

    There are a couple ways:
    1) add an extra column which computes the length and posts a message "TOO LONG" when the length of the contents of the cells exceeds your limit
    Cell B2=IF(LEN(A2)>30, "TOO LONG", "")
    select B2 and fill down as necesary
    2) Use a second table to shade the rows in error:
      - Make a 2nd table with a single column
      - in this new table enter the formula:
         A2=IF(LEN(Table 2::A2)>30, 1, 0)
        select A2 and fill down as necessary
      - now select all the rows in this table and apply conditional formatting using the menu item "Format > Show Conditional Formatting Rules"
      - make the single column as wide as the table or cell you want to flag with an error
      - Send the 2nd table (the one with the header "Check") to the back using the menu item "Arrange > Sent To Back"
      - slide the 2nd table under the first

  • In Pages:  How to change text direction in cell?

    in Pages, I'd like to change the direction of the text in a table I'm creating. 
    In the first column (one long column -- I've merged the cells) the work is reading left to right.  How do I make it read up and down?
    Thanks in advance!

    Here's what I found: 
    Insert a text box from the INSERT menu.... it's also available at the FORMAT menu, but I chose Insert. 
    Don't drag yet!
    place cursor and type your text.
    Then, click on the METRICS menu in the Inspector pane
    Rotate.  Getting exactly to 90 degrees was difficult.  Maybe because I called it 90% at first!
    Now you can drag.
    It might look better to spread out the letter spacing in the text you have entered.  Do that from the "text" tab in the Inspector pane.
    if you double click, or even click too much, the text box will jump back into a horizontal position -- Dont' worry, it's trying to let you edit. 
    just go back to "Metric" and change it back to 90 degrees.
    Thanks Barry for answering this 3 years ago, and getting me started!

  • How to replace text with vector image in 3d space

    Hello,
    I want to replace the text in this template http://vimeo.com/15026094 with a vector image logo.
    Any ideas would be helpful. Btw, I have CS4.
    Thanks,
    td

    I finally took a look at your Vimeo example and I'd guess that the animation of the text was created with Text Animators and range selectors. As Mylenium said, and as I said
    Reveal all of the animated properties that you want to transfer to your new layer. Usually pressing the U key will suffice.
    Note: Text animations and shape animators will be ignored unless the new layer is a text or shape layer.
    You need read up on Text Animators so you can understand them.
    Type a question in the search field at the top right corner of After Effects.
    And you'll find all of these resources. (providing you have the Adobe Help preferences set to search the web)
    Animation presets will save all animated properties applied to a layer, but they will only apply the keyframes to properties that exist on the layer. Text Animators only exist in text layers so you'll have to animate your logo by hand or grab yourself a font creation tool and recreate your logo as a font.
