Accessing sheets and cells under others in Numbers 3.1

Hi,
I have a rather elaborate Numbers spreadsheet that represents pages of a wall calendar. For each month, each day cell has other tables overlaying it; one to show the text for holiday names, some in the upper left and lower right areas to display small versions of the previous and next month's days, and one to overlay and hide day cells that shouldn't be shown (such as day 30 in February). The entire calendar (except for the placement of the holiday names) is driven by the year value on the first page. This has worked well for me for the past two years, when I was using a version of Numbers from one of the iWork suites, but during the past year, I upgraded to what is now Numbers 3.1. I need to make some adjustments to cells and sheets that are normally not the topmost cells, and in the past, I seem to recall that I could access the appropriate sheet by clicking the appropriate value of a hierarchical listing of sheets that ran down the left side of the display. I don't see this in Numbers 3.1, and though I can bring cells and sheets to the top for editing by selecting the cells / sheets that currently are above the one I want to edit and moving them either "Backward" or "Back", I'm getting lost because I have no visual way to determine what the current layering is. Is there any way to activate the left-side hierarchical display that existed in the previous version of Numbers, or at least to display the named sheets in my speadsheet so I can select specific ones by name?
Thanks,
Ken

You say you "upgraded". Does that mean iWork '09 was on the computer before? If so, then it is still there. Upgrading to Numbers 3.1 does not remove Numbers 2.3. I guess they knew people might want to still use the old version.
Look here:
/Applications/iWork '09/
If you didn't have iWork '09 on the computer before, but still have the disk, try installing it again. I don't know where my disk is so I can't give it a try, but I can't think of a reason not to try. If it screws something up, you can always just uninstall everything and download 3.1 from the store again.

How do I link to information in cells within other Numbers documents?

I am trying to simplify my staff wages. I have a Numbers document with 12 sheets (months) each with one table showing staff, pay deductions etc.
I want to have 6 other documents (one for each member of staff); each of which will have 12 sheets (months). These will house 12 identical payslips, one for each month. I need each cell to auto-fill from the associated cell in the overview Numbers document.
I created this in Excel but when I imported it, Numbers is happy with the overview document but the not the formulae importing figures from other the document.
I'm sure I should be able to do this, but I ain't wiz enough.
I hope I've managed to convey what I'm trying to do, and I hope someone can help me.

There is no link between two Numbers documents.
The easy workaround is to create new sheets dedicated to what is, at this time, stored in other documents.
And of course,
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, explain politely that you wish to be able to insert links between document.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'11

Listview for new sheets and tables in numbers 3.0

Hi there,
when adding a new sheet or table in numbers 3.0 you get them in a horizontal bar under the symbol-bar.
If you need severals sheets it directly get confusing.
In numbers 09 numbers used to add new sheets in a list view on the left side of the window. And the tables
subordered to each sheet. Is there a possibility to change this view in numbers 3.0 to the same view
as used in numbers 9.0?
If not I will directly change again to 9.0 and hope the apple starts beeing again the big company they
used to be a couple of years ago. They start sucking!

Hi Yellowbox,
I apreciate your answer.
I already switched back to 9.0! To have the sheets and their subtables on left site in listview matches my business scenario. For making calculations for severals companies working on the same project, it is more comfortable to have one sheet per company and for each related service an exra table. For me it wouldn't be clear anymore while using 3.0.
Thanks again for your effort.
My big question is, way want somebody forcing you to do something like they think it should be!?
The machines are very powerful. So please let us work / use the tools as we feel the best.
The strategy to force someboy to used in a special manner, used to be typically for Microsoft.
This is one good reason why a lot of people switched to Apple! THINK DIFFERENT!!!! and not
THINK LIKE US!!!
Please rethink companies politics.
What is the matter of having Icloud if I only can load special material, with only certain special software releases?
What is the matter of having Fotostream if i am forced to delete a picture from every of my devices wich costs a lot of time! Where ist the option, delete from this advice or completey from icloud?
What is the matter of having such expensive products like Ipads/Iphones/... if I need special apps which aren't at all comfortable to load unload single fotos / ...
What is the benefit of having time machine if it only works with special hardware? I have a perfectly running 12TB BackupSystem/NAS and can't us it!
Why should I spent so much many to have the best computer equipment if I can't use it like i need it?
And please from release to release the system is more and more bothering and interacting with the user... this is one of the reason why Microsoft products are so horrible. When I am sitting on my computer I want WORK and not getting one alert, warning, interaction behind the other. I want work! I want to be effective! So please, give up from this method of interacting with the user.
Why has Iphoto to be so aggressive? I dont want to put pictures in events. And neither and predifend events respecting the time stamp! I just want to have a file watcher which keeps up to date a tree (with the manipulating options of Iphoto) of a certain folder structure. NOTHING ELSE!
APPLE = GOOD PRODUCTS, BUT ALMOST NOT USABLE
Maybe I should switch again to SuSe Linux ;-)

How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?

How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers 3.2.2? I do a lot of rearranging and sorting and want to reference cells in other sheets. After entering the formulas (example: '=Sheet1::Table 1::H126') I will sort the table and the formulas will not move with the sort. I think I can fix this by going cell by cell checking the 'preserve row' and 'preserve column' boxes when editing the formula. I want to avoid having to go one by one. I know that checking the boxes creates a formula like this: '=Sheet1::Table 1::$H$126' I have also tried entering this manually and filling down but it doesn't include the preservations (the $$) in the autofill. If there is another way to remedy my sorting problem that would also be welcomed!
THANKS!!

The title of the post is this
How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?
I restated the Question as follows
Can "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be set on multiple cells at the same time.
In both cases it is not asked if multiple cells can be set to....
That is a given.
Step back a second... It is like selecting multiple cells and setting the text color of the currently selected cells to red. This can be done. More than one cell at a time modified because they are currently selected.
Whats is being asked is: if more than one cell is selected at the same time can the settings "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be applied. No table I put up will help with that question.
YES or NO
If YES how?

What, exactly, "continues to go to gmail"? You need to provide us with very specific information as to what things you are having problems with. One at a time.

Is there a way to create a table then apply it to other sheets and have it mirror changes across all the sheets? Like a sync'ed table that will be the same on multiple sheets

I have a budget spreadsheet with a couple recurring tables. As months go by, I sometimes make changes to these tables and would like those changes to be synced across the different sheets in the spreadsheet. Is there a way to sync content across multiple pages, essentially having one true table that appears on multiple sheets?

Abdur,
In the sheet :: table :: cell that is going to receive the data, type an equals sign, then click on the cell that the data will come from and press Return.
This will require that you navigate to the origin cell by choosing the proper sheet.

Is there a way to reference just a sheet (not table and cell)

I want to have a profile overview sheet tat will draw from individual profile sheets. Is there a way to set up a cell with which table and cell to draw from, but then make it draw the sheet name from a different cell. That way I can fill in the sheet name in the appropriate cell, and all the other cells would automatically draw from the appropriate sheet.
Any tips or advise would be appreciated.

=IFERROR(INDIRECT(A1 & " :: Table 1 :: A2"),"")
or
=IF(A1="","",INDIRECT(A1 & " :: Table 1 :: A2"))
The first will capture errors caused by A1 being blank and errors caused by A1 specifying a non-existent sheet (i.e., typos). The second one prevents errors caused by A1 being blank but will still give an error if you specify a non-existent sheet..

I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96

I'm new to Mac and the program/all called Numbers. I'm trying to use both Average and small in the same formula. What's I'm trying to do is take 20 cells in a column, find the 10 lowest numbers, then get the average and after that multiply it by .96 I used to use Excel and the formula worked fine in that. Here is my Formula
=(average(small(H201:H220,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
This formula worked in Excel and when I converted my spreadsheet over to Numbers, this formula no longer works.
The best that I have been able to do so far is use small in 10 different cells, then get the average of the 10 cells and finally multiply that average by .96 So instead of using 1 cell, I'm using 12 cells to get my answer.
This is a formula that I will be using all the time. The next cell would be =(average(small(H202:H221,{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10})))*.96
Hoping I explain myself well enough and that someone can help me.
Thanks

You can still do it in one cell but it will be more unruly than the Excel array formula.
=average(small(H201:H220,1),small(H201:H220,2),small(H201:H220,3),...,small(H201:H220,10))*0.96
where you would, of course, replace the "..." with the remaining six SMALL functions.

Numbers Question, Finding Values In Multiple Sheets and Tables

I would like for a cell to be looking at all sheets, and calculate the Debt 1 or Debt 2 allocated funds. It would need to find the word, Debt 1 and take the number two cells to the right...I have attached a document to my webpage...

Hello
Working on the OP's document, I discovered a surprising odd behaviour.
In a table I grab datas from other tables using VLOOKUP.
The formula is :
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A$1,INDIRECT("Outgo "&ROW()&" :: A:C"),3,FALSE),0)
The cell in B1 grabs a value from table Outgo 1
The cell in B2 grabs a value from table Outgo 2
As the OP named its first table Outgo, when I named it Outgo 1,
I decided to edit the formula in cell B1. It becomes ::
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A$1,INDIRECT("Outgo :: A:C"),3,FALSE),0)
The funny behaviour is that in a sheet where there is no Outgo table (I had the "Outgo 1" one),
the formula continue to return the value grabbed from the table "Outgo 1".
For see, I renamed "Outgo 1" as "Outgo 3" with a different numerical value.
The formula referencing "Outgo" continue to return the value which was in "Outgo 1"
Continuing to play with this problem.
I edited the formula as:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A$1,INDIRECT("Outgo 3 :: A:C"),3,FALSE),0)
Bingo, it grabbed the value from the true Outgo 3 table.
One more time I edited the formula as:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A$1,INDIRECT("Outgo :: A:C"),3,FALSE),0)
Son of a …, it gives again the value which was in the now unavailable table "Outgo 1".
I guess that it grabs it from the undo buffer but it's absolutely foolish.
Serious smelling of bug but I wish to know if you get the same behaviour in other machines (maybe something is odd on mine).
Happily, there is a way to get rid of this odd behaviour :
cut the entire formula
press return
The cell is now empty.
Select it then paste.
The pasted formula will have a correct behaviour.

Is there a complete access to camera and cell id?

Hello People!!
I have a basic question... Is there a full access to camera and cell id with JavaME CLDC?
If not exists or provide only for certain model then exists some way to do that? perhaps with some plug in???
And can i add C in Java ME CLDC or ASM, for access to camera or get cell id?
Thank you in advance.

Pay Oracle for the documentation or attend
the class conducted by Oracle will do.

If when you go to icloud.com and sign in with your current iCloud ID you see all your iCloud data there, you can safely sign out of the iCloud account on your Mac and choose Delete at all the prompts, then sign back in with the current ID. This only deletes the data from your Mac, not from iCloud. Your iCloud data will reappear on your Mac when you sign back in after a brief delay as it redownloads. If you have automatically imported your photo stream photos to your iPhoto library you won't lose them either (if you haven't, save them to your library first).
Again, only do this if when you go to icloud.com with your current ID you see your iCloud data there.
