Using Numbers, I need to time-stamp each line in a table for when it was entered
I need to time-stamp each line in a table for when it was entered.
I have a formula which is
"=IF(F18="","",NOW())"
it gives me the answer I want, but every time I edit any data in the formula is recalculates the date/time to reflect the most recent edit. I do not want to do this. I am open to any and all solutions including using a script. I do not really know anything about scripts except that they are really easy to use once it's written.
I have a formula i use in excel but it requires circular references in excel. I tried using this formula in numbers but I get the error that says I cannot reference a cell that references back to the cell i’m inputting the formula into (circular reference. It is easy to use in excel just by limiting the # of iterations in preferences. I can’t seem to find any such preference in numbers. Do you know of one? here is the formula:
"=IF(D4=”",”",IF(B4=”",NOW(),B4))"
I use it to time stamp each line in a spreadsheet. It is the only way to keep all the previous line from recalculating everytime I add a new line. If I can’t use this formula, do you know of a way to timestamp each line without having it update everytime I add a line or edit the form?
Thanks in advance- I know this isn’t exaclty an easy question but I have honestly looked everywhere

Hi Emely,
Check the Insert menu:
The highlighted item is slightly misnamed, requiring a bit more than a simple selection (or keypress combination*) to act as a time stamp.
Simply choosing the menu item willproduce the result shown in A2: A time and date value is entered, but only the Date part is displayed.
Setting the cell format to Date and Time, with both parts displayed (as I've done in column B) does show both parts of the Date and Time value, but as you can see, the time part is set to midnight, as it is in any cell where you have entered only the Date part of a Date and Time value. The date was entered here in the same manner as in A3.
To enter both the current Date and current Time, the process has a few more steps:
Select the cell
Go Insert > Date & Time
Before confirming the entry, double-click the cell (now showing the Date) to open this small dialogue:
Click the pop-up menu under Choose Date format:
Choose the last item in the list.
Results as shown in A4 and B4 of the table above.
Regards,
Barry
•Regarding the KB shortcut shown: The Mac OS lets you define a KB shortcut for any top-level menu item. The one in the menu is a user-defined keypress combination, made to be easily remembered, not to be physically convenient to use. If doing your own, you may want to try for something eassier to get your fingers on.

I have iphone5 and now been given Nokia lumia 520 for work. How can I ensure that my calendars all sync in real time between each phone? Many thanks for any advice
Well if you got the Phone Pggray43 at a Local Corporate store in your Area) you should be able to return it as long as you have all the contents.! Phone, Charger and any other accessories that came with it the Box of Course.. As long as you have not went past the 14 Day return.. the store can go over what you used as in Air Time and Data..
Now if you've went past the 14 Day return you be Liable to pay a E.T.F = Early Termination Fee the fee for this is around $300 so hopefully you have not went past the 14 Day return window the Manager if Available is the one I would talk to tell them your on Social Security and you just can't afford a phone as this I'm sure they'll work with you to get something solved..
Hope ya have Good Luck.! b33 -
Can I have separate timer in each line of a multi_record screen
I have a multi-records screen, each record have its own time display to show how long this patient is waiting. I use a timer to redisplay every 10 second. However, I have to requery the screen each time and the screen refresh each time. Can I show the timer of each line without require to refresh the screen?
I haven't tried this but it ought to work. Use calculation properties (type of formula) to populate your elapsed time field. The formula will be a calculation involving (presumably) the start time in your multi row block and a clock field in a control block which you will set using a single timer.

Is it possible to use the migration assistant to transfer only some documents and data? For example, I was to transfer my music, but not my word documents. There doesn't seem to be any options to customise what you are transferring - its all or nothing

Yes, that's why I recommend one have more than TimeMachine as a backup because if certain files or folders are corrupted on the TM drive, your not logging into your migrated user account or not be able to transfer it what so ever.
Then it's a REAL PAIN and costs $99 to bit read the TM drive to get the files out, then it's mess to go through and sort all the empty placeholders from the real files as TM doesn't save duplicates in each state, just uses the previous state's copy if there are no changes.
If you create the same named user account on the new machine, and simply transfer files via a USB thumb drive and place say music contents into the Music folder, then it will work too.
Look into making clones of your boot drive, the benefit here is it's bootable, you can access the drive directly to pick and choose files, run the computer just like before etc.

How can I time stamp each row individually
I am creating a trade log. I need each row to be marked with date and time to the minute individually. There is a post from 2010 on how to make Numbers do this but I don't know how to write applescript. Can anyone help me here?
Good idea jaxjason.
Your post urged me to update the script which was really old.
Here is the modern release :
--[SCRIPT store_CreationDate]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : store_CreationDate.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numb ers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Placez le curseur dans la cellule que vous souhaitez alimenter.
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “store_CreationDate”
La cellule pointée reçoit la chaîne saisie
La cellule de coordonnées ligne_cellule + decalage_vertical , colonne_cellule + decalage_horizontal reçoit la date_heure de l'intervention.
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++++
Save the script as a Script : store_CreationDate.scpt
Move the newly created application into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Put the cursor in the cell which must receive your entry.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “store_CreationDate”
The pointed cell receives the entered string.
The cell at row_cell + decalage_vertical , column_cell + decalage_horizontal receive the current date_time.
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

Should I use a table for thumbnails? [was: Experts, which is best for me?]
on some of the pages on my web-siteI am going to have several (perhaps approx 10 pages) with 12 or 15 thumbnail photos on it.
I am then going to link each thumbnail to another page which will have a larger version of the thumbnail along with a brief description of the photo.
I am hoping to have all pages taken from a template base with just a header and a navigation bar (pop menu magic from PVII). I want to link the pages with the large photo back to the thumbnails page.
Before I start on my site, I would be interseted to find out what some of you experts out there would advise with regard setting my site up.
I know there are horses for courses and many different opinions so i don't think I will get a definitive answer.
My question is, for my type of site as described above, which is best, Tables, div tags or both together. i.e. Div tag for header, div tag for nav bar and a table in a div tag. and your reasons why would be helpful. I know that this has been discussed many times but I want to know answer specifically for my web-site and not which is best generally.
I hope my question is clear enough and thanks in advance for any feedback.
[Subject edited for clarity by moderator]It may sound as if I am being lazy here but is it easy to integrate JAlbum in to my site. Is it a case of copying and pasting or does it entail a lot of knowledge.
I am not really being lazy, I just want to get things moving so that when I get round to building my site, I can keep moving at a steady pace.
My website which I have up already is www.designekitchens.co.uk if you want to give yourself a better idea of what is required.
Does using a slide show mean that I loose some pages so less chance of being spidered by search engines?

I cannot connect to the internet on my iMac through my wireless router. I think I screwed up the settings and need to reset them. I know the router is working because I can access the internet on my Dell laptop which is located right next to my Mac.
On your iMac try the following, in order, until (hopefully) resolved:
1a. Delete Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Under "Preferred Networks," delete the network(s) you regularly use from the list.
1b. Delete AirPort Keychain Entries
Launch the "Keychain Access" application located in Applications/Utilties.
In the windows on the left side: Select login for Keychains and "All Items" for Category.
Click on the "Kind" filter at the top, and look for any "AirPort network password" entries...and delete them.
1c. Add Preferred Network(s)
System Preferences > Network > Wi-Fi > Advanced > Wi-Fi tab
Add the preferred network(s) using the "+" button.
Restart or log out then back in.
2. Move System Configuration Files
(Note: You will have to reestablish your network connections settings.)
Go to /Library/Preferences
Move the SystemConfiguration folder to the desktop.
Restart your Mac. (Note: OS X will rebuild the files that are now sitting on your desktop. If this doesn't resolve the issue, you can move the folder back to it's original location.) -
ALV: Dropdown list individual for each line of the table
Hi
Question.. I would like to make a dropdown list for a field in the ALV list. The dropdown list is not the difficult point. But this dropdown list should be based on the line item.
Example:
Material 100.100 has plants (10, 20, 30)
Material 100.800 has plants (60, 70)
so the ALV list should show in the dropdown menu only the plants that this material has.
As I'm not sure, that my explanations are any good, here a example:
<u>
ALV-List</u>
Material Description Plants
100.100 Screwdriver (Dropdown list shows only 10,20,30)
100.800 Hammer (Dropdown list shows only 60,70).
Can anyone tell me if this is feasable? And if so how? Is it do-able with this method?
call method grid->set_drop_down_table
exporting
it_drop_down = lt_dropdown.
The program BCALV_EDIT_07 has sort of two different dropdown lists.. but I have more then two materials, there would be many lists to create.. (many drop_down_handle's)
Any other idea?
I know, this is a tricky one...
Thanks
Petra

Playback will start onice a portion has loaded, this will be indicated by the option to start now or watch later. If it continues to buffer during playback or there are other issues then that will be due to the network.
