Working with CSV files in Numbers 09

I'm able to import CSV files into Numbers '09 but the CSV file has multiple categories in each column. I want to SUM just one section and put the result in a summary chart but don't how to limit the SUM to just one of the groups in the column. The number of the rows is constantly changing with each import but the data that I want to use is always in column G. I would like to be able to just import the updated CSV file without having to manual select the cells I want to use each time. Any ideas? Thanks.

If you took care to use the Numbers's vocabulary, things would be easier.
You import datas upon vehicle 1 in table 1, not in sheet 1.
If you really use the import feature, you will get a new table name each time so the formula would be different each time.
The good practice would be to create a table with 11 columns for each vehicle.
In every cell of column K (the 11th one), the formula would be:
=IF(ISERROR(VLOOKUP("Total Price",$G$1:G2,1,0)),"",IF(OR(G="Total Price",ISBLANK(G),NOT(ISERROR(VLOOKUP("type",$G$1:G2,1,0)))),"",1))
Then, import the CSV,
copy the newly created table's contents and paste it in the table dedicated to the vehicle.
Delete the table created during the import process.
Doing that,
the cell dedicated to vehicle 1 in "Vehicle Expense Summary" would be :
=SUMIF(vehicle1 :: K,">0",vehicle1 :: G)
the cell dedicated to vehicle 2 in "Vehicle Expense Summary" would be :
=SUMIF(vehicle2 :: K,">0",vehicle2 :: G)

Can I get pages to work with .csv files?

I'm trying to use the pages mail merge feature! I have data in a CSV file and I'm on a mac using Pages.
This is what I've discovered so far;
Pages needs a .Numbers file to pull data from for the mail merge feature. So I take my CSV file, open it with numbers, save it as a .Numbers file and then go back to Pages to use the mail merge feature, but I get an odd error message, so I must not be converting right (or something).
The error reads as follows; "Please select a Numbers document that has one or more named header columns and one or more rows of data." The CSV file has 20 contacts in it, so I'm not sure what it's asking for exactly, because in the .Numbers file I have 20 rows with data.
Does anyone have any suggestions? Or perhaps they could point me to a reference manual of sorts?
Thanks for your time!
S.o.t.S.

Thanks Jerrold, here's what I have.
This is the Numbers document
This is the Pages sheet
These are the "options" selected for merging and then I click merge...
and then the output of just one.

Help working with CSV files

I have a CSV file with 3 columns
Jobtitles-----ADRole1----- AdRole2
title1---------Role1---------Role4
title2---------Role2---------Role5
title2---------Role3--------Role6
And i also have a list of Active Directory Users in other variable $users.
I need to get the AD users which jobtitle match the ones in the first column of the csv "jobtitles"
I do it like:
import-module activedirectory
$csv2= Import-Csv e:\mycsv.csv | Select-Object JobTitles
$Jobtitles = @()
foreach ($line in $csv2) {
$Jobtitles += $line.title
$users = foreach ($user in $result){
get-aduser $user.loginname -properties title, samaccountname
foreach ($User in $Users) {
if ($Jobtitles -contains $User.title) {
write-host $User.samaccountname $User.title
This works fine.
What i don't know how to do is reference the same row in the csv
For example if the user jobtitle matches title1, add the user to the AD group Role1 and Role4 (because it is in the same row as those roles)
Any idea?
thanks

In the second line in your script, the " | select-object jobTitles" causes only the data from the jobTitles column in the .CSV file to be included in the array of objects stored in the $csv2 variable. If you avoid doing that, then all of the data from the
.CSV file will be present in $CSV.
But I don't think the code as shown "works fine". In the first foreach statement, your code references a property called .title, whereas the only property in $csv would appear to be .jobTitles. But, if it had been coded correctly, this would be a wasted
step, as it seems only intended to create another array of "title" values, which you already have in $csv2.
then the second foreach processes data in an undefined array called $result.
With these issues, it is a little difficult to determine what actually happens in the following code.
I'd suggest you give it another try then copy/paste the complete code for us to comment on.

OmniPortlet - Working with CSV files

Is it possible to filter a CSV file based on a Page parameter? It doesn't seem to work in my tests.
If not, does anyone know an effective way to convert CSV/XLS to XML in row/rowset format? Perhaps using a pre-buils stylesheet that converts Excel XML to Rowset/Row?
Any feedback greatly appreciated...

Hello Stephen,
The current OmniPortlet does not make any filtering. You can send some parameters in the URL or to a Web Service method but in this case the filter is made by the 'data source provider' itself, not by OmniPortlet.
We will introduce filtering -for all data sources- in the next release of the OmniPortlet. (next PDK)

How to gracefully import CSV files into Numbers.app v3?

I've posted this as a question at Stack Exchange, also…
I have a process, which has worked faithfully for years in Numbers '09, whereby I download my Bank account data in CSV format, then drag that data directly into my Numbers sheet (after creating an appropriate number of blank rows).
This no longer works, and I can't find an option to import csv! A help search within numbers for 'csv' returns a single result which describes exporting.
I've tried the old method, no dice. Also, the menu option: Insert > Choose… doesn't permit .csv to be selected.
At the moment, my workaround is:
drag the CSV onto the Numbers dock or task-switcher icon to create a temp sheet
select and copy the content
paste-and-match-format into my desired location
close don't save the temp file
Doe anyone know a better way? A hack or hidden flag I can toggle to get the old functionality back?

Hi David,
Your CSV file seems to be a hybrid (mongrel). Where did it originate?
Regions that use a full-stop (.) as as the decimal point use comma (,) as the separator in CSV files. But wait, there is more! CSV can also mean Character Separated Values, and that character could be semi-colon (;) or Tab.
Are you able to open that file in TextEdit or Pages or Word and replace the separator? Replacing ; with Tab may work.
I must admit that I have never had trouble with CSV opening in Numbers with a double-click in Finder. For example, my bank statements download with what works in my Region (strings enclosed with "double quotes" and columns separated by commas and numbers with a full-stop as the decimal point. Maybe I am just lucky. .

Ian.

Importing a .csv file into numbers

thanks in advance for any help you can provide.
i am a spreadsheet newbie. i am attempting to open a .csv file in numbers. this file when opened on the internet does have each filed seperated by commas, not tabs. when i drag it into numbers, it opens each line in its own row, however it puts the entire information (lets say 5 commas worth) in one column.
so what i am getting is everything in a numbered row but the program does not appear to be recognizing the commas as a reason to put the information in its own column.
this is not a life threatening endeavor, i am just trying to organize my guitar magazine collection. i would like to find the song by doing a search of columns/rows and i do not think i can do it as is.
thanks again...

To type a return into the Find/Replace dialogue, Pages uses option-return, Text Wrangler uses command-return (or type \r), haven't checked Text Edit.
If you Show Invisibles (View menu in Pages, Edit menu > Text Options in Text Wrangler, text Edit doesn't appear to have the option of viewing the invisible characters), you can copy a return, and paste it into the box in pretty much any application that will display the invisible characters. Actually, you should be able to copy the return character even without being able to see it—select from just after the last visible character in a 'paragraph' to the very beginning of the next line, Copy—but it is nice to be able to see what you're doing.
(I have Pages, MacJournal, Bean, & Text Wrangler and a few other word processing program)
One note on Pages: Pages does not offer the option to Save as..Text. For that, you have to go File > Export... and choose Plain Text.
To restate the problem (and I appreciate your help)
I have a new mailing list with about 100 emails that are separated by commas. The program I'm using seems to require each email be on a separate line. So instead of:
[email protected], [email protected]
I want:
[email protected],
[email protected]
So I just want to do a find and replace on "," and replace it with ", carriage return".
It would be SO GREAT to finally overcome this hurdle.
Any of the three options above should do the job.

How to import csv-file in Numbers 3.2.2.

I start using Numbers in stead of Excel. I would like to import csv-files from my bank, but when I open the csv-file in Numbers, everything is imported in the same cell. I composed a testfile: 01/08/2014,”text”,”more text”,”even more text” in Pages, exported to a textfile and changed the extension from .txt in .csv. It did not help, everything was in the same cell. What must be changed to become successful in importing csv-files? I am using Numbers 3.2.2. and an iMac with 2,8 GHz Intel Core i7 processor and 8 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory with OS X 10.9.4.
Thanks, Joan Voormolen

You can do this using Pages. Without using outside scripts or functions. The Pages Find/Replace function will let you change the delimiter on the data in your file.
Open the file in Pages. Click Show Invisibles. (this will show you the delimiter used in the file)
If you see a * as the delimiter, that is a space. Some data files are space delimited. This is a really poor way to delimit numerical data files.
If you see a fat arrow to the right, the file is Tab delimited
Obviously, a comma is not a hidden character. Some files are comma delimited
Whatever else might have been used as a delimiter (for example a semi colon is sometimes used) will be apparent.
The delimiter should be something that is not used anywhere else in the "data"... text, numbers, etc., you want to delimit. Numbers considers a comma as a valid delimiter for files with the suffix .csv . It considers a tab as a valid delimiter with files with the suffix .txt . It does not consider spaces a valid delimiter in with any file suffix. But some programs use odd delimiters (semi colon, colon, double spaces, etc) as delimiters.
Use the Find command, then Find/Replace as you need to create that delimiter numbers recognizes. Let's say a semi colon was used as a delimiter. Enter the current delimiter (semi colon) into the Find box. Pages should highlight all the instances of your entry. Enter a comma (to create comma delimited data file) in the Replace box. You should now see a comma as the delimiter.
Important Don't forget, any other comma used in the file will also be considered a delimiter. (a comma in 1,000 for example). So check the data. If you see a comma used another way you will want to eliminate that BEFORE you do the "comma as delimiter" replacement. If you have 1,000, do a find/replace with comma as the find, nothing as the replace, first. THEN do the replacement of the semi colon.
Now comes the "tricky" part from what I could see. You want to save this new file with a suffix of .csv. (Export the file) Numbers will only open a comma delimited file with separated data (by comma) if it's suffix is .csv. Pages only gives you limited export options and puts the file suffix on for you automatically. CSV is not one of the options!
Choose Text. Pages will name the file .txt. Quit Pages. Go to the file on your desktop (or wherever you saved it). Change the file suffiix from .txt to .csv.
That's it. Open the file with Numbers. Numbers will create a separate column for everything between the comma's.
You can use this same method to alter your data file before you import it into Numbers. For example, one file I wanted to import had time=xxx . I only wanted the actual time, not the text attached to it, in my spreadsheet. I did a find/replace with "time=" as the find. A comma as the replace. Even though "time=xxx" is one "word", Pages identified the "time=" within the word to allow the replacement.
Numbers does not provide a "choose delimiter" function when opening a file. Instead it automatically uses the standard delimiter based on the file suffix. CSV means Comma, so if the file is named .csv it will only look for and use a comma as the delimiter to put the data into separate columns. I believe .txt uses only a tab as the delimiter. In the above example you could find/replace to a Tab. Then Export to Text. And numbers will open the data into columns the way you want, without the extra step of renaming the file on your desktop.
While some files use a second space (ie two in a row) as a delimiter that's a nasty way to delimit. You always want a specific delimiter that is not used within the data element.
The above is to import numerical data into separate columns. You could use the same method to manipulate a file that contains text. Let's say you had a file with the suffix .txt. In the file are names and addresses. John Smith 246 Rose Road . You want Name in one column. Address in another. Look at all the spaces, which ones should be delimiters which not? Are there any delimiters in the file?
If you open with Pages and choose show invisibles you can see. You might see John Smith --> 246 Rose Road. (the --> will look like a fat arrow in Pages). Numbers will open this file, IF it has .txt as the suffix, based on the Tab, with name in one column, Address in another.
Or you might see John*Smith**246*Rose*Road. Even though the creator of this intended two spaces to be a delimiter Numbers does not recognize that. Numbers will put everything into one column. The fix? In Pages, put a tab between name and address. Find/replace two spaces with Tab. Export, as Text.
Based on what you see (with show invisible active) in Pages, you can use the Find/Replace function to create the specific delimiter you want (tab or comma). You can use that function to manipulate the file easily so the data you want shows up in separate columns. You may need to get clever to accomplish the unique delimiters. You might even need to do two passes with Find/Replace.
In the instance above if there was only one space between each element. (not two as a pseudo delimiter) You could replace all spaces with a tab in Pages. Export as Text. Numbers will open that file with a column for each word (one for John, one for Smith). Then "Merge" the two cells (columns) you want to put back together.

Has anyone not working with .dv files had synchronization problems?

Has anyone not working with .dv files had sound synchronization problems? I'm not exactly sure what the alternatives to DV are, but I think one of them is HD.
The reason for asking this question is to help isolate the nature and cause of a very serious flaw in iMovie '11. In the original release of iMovie '11 (version 9.0) there was a small--but serious--synchronization problem. In the 9.01 there is a large synchronization problem. We know of one person who has not experienced the problem, and he is not working with DV files (media). So we want to find out if anyone who is using something other than .dv files is experiencing a lack of synchronization between sound and picture. Knowing the answer to this will help with figuring out where the cause lies. For the initial iMovie '11 release (9.0), you probably would not notice a problem unless you had very long event-clips, e.g., two hours long. Events get this long if you are transferring from analog 8 mm tapes. Even then, it would have to be in scenes in which the connection between event and sound is obvious, e.g., close ups of people talking. It isn't until the 9.01 release that most people would notice anything. All we need to do is establish one case of a synchronization problem in which the person is using something other than DV.

Hopefully, the 9.0.2 release will make my question moot. Zyfert must have posted the announcement of the release just as I was formulating my question. Still, if you have information on the subject, it would be interesting to hear.

Working with RAW files in PSE9: Doable or better to use PSE12?

I have PSE 9 and will soon get a camera with RAW capability. I notice that Adobe no longer supports PSE 9. Am I in for trouble if I don't upgrade to PSE 12 since I don't know how to work with RAW files? It sounds as if I will need something to convert RAW files? Where do I get it? Is it a big deal for a beginner with no software skills?

You can download a free DNG Converter from Adobe and then convert your RAWs to DNGs which can be used in PSE9.
You don't need PSE12, but if you want to purchase PSE 12, you get the most current features in the Raw processor (which in my opinion is a huge improvement over what is available in PSE9), and you don't need the extra step of converting to DNG.

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share

Very slow responce when working with Office file on DFS-Share
We have implemented the following configuration
Domain level Windows 2000. Two member servers with Windows Server 2008 R2, sharing the same DFS namespace with, at the moment, one folder target called Home.
Users complaining that the access to different MS Office files is very slow. Even creating a new MS Word document using right click context menu takes up to 4 minutes to open. Saving, for example, one singe Excel sheet takes also few minutes.
Tested with both, MS Office 2007 and MS Office 2010. Makes no difference. When using Office 2010 you can see the message like contacting:
\\DomainName\Root\Home\UserName. Other files like TXT, JPG or PDF are not affected.
What makes the thing really weird is the fact, that the behavior described above can absolutely change after client machine being rebooted, suddenly everything becomes very fast and this condition can revert back again just after the next
reboot.
Considerations until now:
1. This has nothing to do with the file size. Even tiny files are affected.
2. AD Sites are configured correctly and the client workstations see themselves in the correct sites.
3. This is not an Office issue. If I map my folder target not as DFS, but directly as shared network drive
\\ServerName\Root\Home\UserName , everything functions as expected
What makes me suspicious: when using f.e. TCPView to monitor connections, I can see, that each time I make any operation on an office file, there will be a connection established to one of the domain controllers, sometimes to remote ones,
located in other countries. But on the other side, even if the connection is established to the nearest DC, operations are still very very slow!
Just forget to say. All clients are Windows 7
Thanks to all who respond.

Dear all,
sorry for the delayed reply. The problem has been solved now and since September 19<sup>th</sup>. everything is functioning as expected.
What was done:
Deleted replication targets excepting the initial ones
Carefully recreated folder targets
Deleted and recreated replication groups
Disabled SNP features on both namespace servers
Created EnableTCPA registry entry
Checked that the following Updates are installed

Working with RAW files in iPhoto 5.0.4 and Elements 4.0.1

I take photos in RAW mode and download them to iPhoto. When I try to edit the photo in iPhoto, the picture is a tiny little file that is impossible to enlarge with any sort of clarity. Also, the word "RAW" does not appear anywhere on the iPhoto window like I read it is supposed to.
When I drag the file to Photoshop Elements, I get an editing window that has none of the tools usually associated with JPEG files. I get a separate window in which I can darken or lighten the image, that's it.
Clearly, I'm doing something wrong. No one in their right mind would ever use RAW if this is how it works.
Any ideas?

Hi Jack!
If you're new working with RAW files, your right, it just doesn't make sense. RAW <imho> is a bit overrated. One thing you will need to keep in mind when shooting in RAW, is you will still need to take a well exposed image. What RAW files will allow are CHANGES in all areas of the image v. JPEG which may allow you to ADJUST a few settings in the image. My only suggestion would be to kepp playing around with PSE until you get the hang of it, it is an excellent image editing software. But realize, a well exposed JPEG and RAW file are hard to tell apart...
Personally, I do not directly download RAW files through iPhoto but will create a folder and download to here, and simply drage folder to iPhoto to import (which are then 'converted' into JPEG files). This way I have the original RAW images safely located outside of iPhoto as well as in iPhoto. You should set Elements as your choice of application to edit files inside iPhoto.
Good luck, Rick

Working with Large files in Photoshop 10

I am taking pictures with a 4X5 large format film camera and scanning them at 3,000 DPI, which is creating extremely large files. My goal is to take them into Photoshop Elements 10 to cleanup, edit, merge photos together and so on. The cleanup tools don't seem to work that well on large files. My end result is to be able to send these pictures out to be printed at large sizes up to 40X60. How can I work in this environment and get the best print results?

You will need to work with 8bit files to get the benefit of all the editing tools in Elements.
I would suggest resizing at resolution of 300ppi although you can use much lower resolutions for really large prints that will be viewed from a distance e.g. hung on a gallery wall.
That should give you an image size of 12,000 x 18,000 pixels if the original aspect ratio is 2:3
Use the top menu:
Image >> Resize >> Image Size
