Applying percentage reduction to a row of cells

I'm trying to figure out what the equivalent of paste special>values>multiply from excel would be in numbers.
Basically i have a row of different numbers ( row 3) that a big financial model relies upon. I want to put a % in a new cell and use the slider on that cell, then apply the % to a selection of the cells in row 3.
This will enable me to adjust the whole model, by sliding the % of 1 cell.
So lets say a cell on row 3 has the value of 3000. By moving the slider to 50% would reduce the value of that cell to 1500.
I know i could make another row, which woud contain the results keeping the origional row 3 at their current values, and use the new row to feed the rest of the spread sheet, but its a massive financial model, and i'll miss something.
Many thanks

Numbers does not have a feature to modify the contents of a cell and place the result back into the same cell.   The best solution is to either:
1) make a new row that has the original row multiplied by the %
2) make a new table that you can hide to hold the non-modified values andstore the modified values in their place in your original row of the table

  • How do I apply a calculation to row of cells

    Hi.
    I'm using iwork '08 and can't find a way to add a value to row of cells, as per the Calculate menu in Appleworks. I'm trying to update a calendar from the previous year by adding a value of 1 or 2 to the numbers in all the cells so that last year's June 24 becomes this year's June 25. Does Numbers have a way of doing this?

    Hi Barry,
    Wow! Your responses to my problem makes a lot more sense when I can see the graphics you sent with them. Not sure what I was looking at, but it didn't contain the screenshots. Below is a representation of what I'm trying to accomplish. (Sorry, but I don't know how to provide a screenshot of the actual doc in this post.)
    Screenshots are taken using shift-command-4, then dragging the crosshair cursor to enclose the part of the screen you want to copy. The file is copied to your desktop as a PNG (portable network graphics) file named Picture 1 (with numbers ranging from 1 to 10), which you can then go to the finder and rename.
    Upload the file to a picture storage site (there are many free ones on the 'net) and store it in an album there. For most sites, clicking on your image (or just moving the pointer over it) will give a list of codes to paste into a message to call that image.
    Use the one labeled HMTL. Copy the code, then paste it into your message.
    You can see an example of the code used by clicking Reply on any message here showing an image, then clicking the quote button ( ” ) to see the text and HTML codes in the message itself. (Click the discard and Cancel button below the message space if you don't actually want to reply to that message.)
    Hope the formatting doesn't completely go away when you get this.
    It does, pretty much. The forum software parses out multiple spaces. Still readable if the reader has an idea what it should look like, and more readable using the technique described above for seeing HTML codes in a message.
    Anyway I can't get the DATE or DAY functions to track properly between cells, because the DAY function converts text into a number,
    DAY() does absolutely nothing with text, except return an error message:
    "DAY requires a date but found a string instead."
    A cell containing a Date and Time value may be formatted to show only the date portion in any of the following forms:
    No matter which of those is visible in the cell, the cell does NOT contain a text string and does NOT contain a number. The cell contains a Date and Time value in which the Date portion is the value for the ninth day of February in the 2006th year of the common era.
    and the DATE function converts a date into a number, and the the two functions don't play nice with each other.
    Actually DATE works in the opposite direction. It constructs a date from three separate numbers.
    The syntax is DATE(year,month,day)
    DATE(2006,2.9) will construct the Date and Time value for February 9, 2006 and set the time value to 0:00:00 (midnight). Depending on the format set for the cell containing the function, the date will display in one of the forms shown in the list above.
    Once the DAY function converts a date into a plain number, it won't reset after 30 and 31. In fact it seems to treat any reference to that cell as a one.
    DAY does return a (plain) number in the range 1-31. If you add 1 to that +number+, you'll get a number in the range 2-32. If you add 1 to the +date+ that DAY extracted that number from, you'll get a number in the range 2-31, or if the new date is in the next month, you'll get the number 1.
    Now that I've seen the graphics that were supposed to come with your posts, it looks like the answer may be a set of reference cells in another table that I can hide from view in the printed form of my chart.
    There's no need for a second table just to get the day numbers in your example. You may need a LOOKUP table to convert the 1s to the shortened name of the current month, though, and that LOOKUP table can be placed on a second table.
    Here's my take on the problem as currently described. Description below.
    Column A contains the starting date in Cell A1. The format is set to display this date including the name of the weekday to ensure the calendar starts on a Monday. (Necessary because the weekday labels in row 2 are entered text, not constructed from the date information being placed on the calendar.)
    A5, and every 4th row after contains a formula that adds 7 to the date in the cell four rows above.
    =$A1+7
    B1 contains a formula that extracts the DAY (of the month) from the date in A1, plus a calculation that allows it to increment the date when filled into the columns to the right.
    =DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)
    The desire to replace "1" in C1 with "Jun" (the shortened name of the new month) makes the formula a bit more complicated:
    =IF(condition,TRUE: do this,FALSE:do this)
    =IF(DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)=1,LOOKUP(MONTH($A1+COLUMN()-2),Month Lookup :: $A$1:$A$12,Month Lookup :: $B$1:$B$12),DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2))
    condition: DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)=1
    as above, the formula extracts the (adjusted) day number from the date in A1, then compares it with the number 1.
    If they're equal the comparison evaluates as TRUE, and the formula does this part:
    LOOKUP(MONTH($A1+COLUMN()-2),Month Lookup :: $A$1:$A$12,Month Lookup :: $B$1:$B$12)
    MONTH() returns the number of the month of the adjusted date in A1, then looks up that value (6) in column A of the table Month Lookup, and returns the corresponding text string ("Jun") from column B of that table.
    If the day number is not equal to 1, the comparison evaluates as FALSE, and the fomula does the last part:
    DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)
    and returns the day number of the (adjusted) date.
    Constructing the tables:
    Month Lookup table
    Enter 1 in A1 and 2 in A2.
    Select both cells and drag the coltrol down to fill to row 12.
    Enter Jan in B1
    Select B1 and drag the control down to fill ro row 12 (Dec)
    Calendar table
    Enter a starting date in A1.
    Enter
    =IF(DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)=1,LOOKUP(MONTH($A1+COLUMN()-2),Month Lookup :: $A$1:$A$12,Month Lookup :: $B$1:$B$12),DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2))
    in B1.
    Select B1 and drag the fill control right to fill B1:H1
    (See optional formatting below for adding colour to month names)
    Select B1:H1 and Copy
    Select B5 and Paste.
    Enter
    =A1+7
    in A5.
    Select A2:H5 (as shown in graphic above)
    Drag the control down as many rows as you need.
    Optional formatting
    The red month names on yellow backgrounds are created using Conditional formatting for the seven cells B1:H1 (and similar cells further down the table).
    If you choose to do this, it's best to do so where "See optional formatting..." is placed in the instructions.
    Select B1:L1
    In the Format bar above the tables, set the Text colour to red and the Fill colour to yellow. (This will change the colours in all cells in the row.)
    Open the Inspector and click the Cell Format button.
    Click the Conditional Format checkbox to check it. Click Show Rules.
    From the Choose a Rule popup, choose "Less than or Equal to" and enter 31 in the box that appears.
    Choose Black for the conditional text colour and white for the conditional fill colour.
    Continue with the instructions for Constructing the Tables.

  • How to apply different CSS styles to different table cells?

    I have an h:dataTable table and I would like to apply different CSS styles to different table cells depending on their content. If I were doing JSP I would probably have a <c:if> test on the cells, and give them a style name depending on contents, and then define the styles in a separate style sheet. Is there a way in JSF to do the equivalent? Thanks.

    BalusC wrote:
    How to achieve a cell-specific style is already answered in my 1st reply of this topic.That tells how to apply a style to the text (or other content) inside a cell but not how to apply a style to the <td> as a whole. It would work for something like text font or text color but not cell border.
    I'm thinking I can mark the content somehow and then have javascript traverse the DOM, find marked content, and traverse outward to the enclosing <td>. Is there a better way?BalusC already spoke about rowClasses and columnClass attributes, I assume those are insufficient.
    The Tomahawk dataTable component has the rowStyleClass and rowStyle attributes for assigning CSS to the HTML tr tag. One is allowed to reference the row data variable when assigning values to these. However, see https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/TOMAHAWK-523 for workarounds to bugs in some implementations.
    The Tomahawk column component has the styleClass and style attributes for assigning CSS to the HTML td tag. These also may reference the row data variable.

  • Right way to change datagrid row, column, cells background colors in code-behind?

    Hi all,
    I have a winform program that I'm upgrading to wpf (I'm new to wpf). The wpf code for the function (SetdataGridBackgroundColors()) is below with the winform code commented out so I can fix it.  I have a datagrid with a Cornsilk background color alteranating
    with LightGreen depending on the content of datetime  cell. If the day portion of the datetime is different then the color changes from one to the other. I used a colorIndex variable because at the end of the month it could go from 31 to 1 and that would
    not work if I use the day directly.
    I tried this line to change the background color:
    optionsDataDatagrid.RowBackground = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Cornsilk);
    this works but it changes every row. I found this other stuff:
    DataGridRow currentRowColor = optionsDataDatagrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromIndex(i) as DataGridRow;
    //DataGridRow currentRowColor = optionsDataDatagrid.ItemContainerGenerator.ContainerFromItem(optionsDataDatagrid.Items[i]) as DataGridRow;
    currentRowColor.Background = new SolidColorBrush(Colors.Cornsilk);
    Either ContainerFromIndex or ContainerFromItem throw an exception because currentRowColor is null. I looked at optionsDataDatagrid.Items[i] and is not null. Then I read that using ItemContainerGenerator is not a good idea.
    BTW I'm calling SetdataGridBackgroundColors() after datagrid is been filled with data.
    So... what is the proper way to set each row, column or cell background color in wpf?
    Thanks
    private void SetdataGridBackgroundColors()
    optionRowData rowData = new optionRowData();
    if (optionsDataDatagrid.Items.Count == 0)

    int colorIndex = 1;

    savedDate = rowData.col_datetime.Date; //only compare the date not the time
    for (int i = 0; i < optionsDataDatagrid.Items.Count; i++)
    //currentRowDate = Convert.ToDateTime(optionsDataDatagrid.Rows[i].Cells[3].Value); //winform code

    I (also) strongly recommend mvvm.
    Setting values is a particularly bad idea in this case.
    I don't mean to be rude but your explanation of the requirement is kind of vague.
    I would bind solidcolourbrushes.
    Set the properties based on whatever your logic is within the viewmodel.
    You can switch out what each of the brushes holds when the user clicks wherever.
    So you use a highlightbrush when something or other is true.
    That highlightbrush is set to a blue brush when the user clicks left and a red brush when they click right.

  • Word wrapping in row header cell in OLAPDataGrid

    I have an issue with the OLAPDatagrid. Does anyone know how
    to wrap text in the row header cells?
    (to avoid confusion, i will demonstrate my issue using a grid
    with 1 row and 1 column dimension).
    OLAPDataGrid has 2 properties: wordWrap, which only seems to
    affect the data cells, and headerWordWrap which only appears to
    affect the dimension data across the topmost row.
    However, neither of these properties appear to allow the row
    dimensions' data to wrap (this is the data in the leftmost column).
    Not only this, the column does not automatically resize to reveal
    the data.
    I also can't see how to manually modify the width of the
    columns as at the point when the olapdatagrid's dataprovider is
    assigned to the olapresult, the column count is zero.
    any suggestions?
    thanks

  • Making individual row or cell editable or readonly depend on cell data

    Dear expert
    I'm working with dataGrid and itemEditor. I can make some
    column editable. But I would like to know how to set some specific
    row or cell editable or readonly depend on cell data. Could anybody
    guide me which method should I override or any idea?
    Thanks

    Well a simply way would be if the row contained some kind of
    data that had the info to determine if it was editable or not...
    e.g. say the data in the dataProvider of the dataGrid has a field
    called jobTitle and you didn't want cells in that row editable when
    the jobTitle is "Executive".
    <mx:DataGrid dataProvider="{jobData}" editable="true">
    <mx:columns>
    <mx:Array>
    <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Title" dataField="Title"
    itemEditor="titleEditor"/>
    <mx:DataGridColumn headerText="Phone" dataField="Phone"
    itemEditor="phoneEditor"/>
    </mx:columns>
    </mx:DataGrid>
    Your itemEditor's could check to see if thats the case.
    phoneEditor.mxml
    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <mx:TextInput xmlns:mx="
    http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"
    text="{data.Phone}" creationComplete="checkIfEditable()" >

  • Hiding a Field, row and cell

    Please how can I hide a Field, Row and cells repectively. We are carring out a project that we need to hide cells and sometimes fields or rows as the case may be. I noticed in console -> Role -> Tables, you can set only read only or read/write and in the functions tab you can set up none or execute. There is no option for hiding. Can any one help.

    Hi marcellinus,
    To hide a field there are two methods:-
    <b>1--></b>Open console and  right-click on field of corresponding table which u want to hide and choose Hide from the context menu. This will hide field from display.
    For more details u can refer to SP04 console reference guide-page no <b>53.</b>
    <b>2--></b>U can specify constraints and privileges in the <b>tables and fields</b> tab in <b>roles</b> table for field and record level security.This will prevent field or records from display.
    To hide a rows or cells u can specify any mask as constraint.This will display only those records which are specified in the mask.
    For more details u can refer to SP04 console reference guide -page no <b>149.</b>
    Hope this will help you.Let me know the result

  • Is it possible to auto-populate a row of cells based on a pop-up value...

    ... that references a value from a column of another table?

    EDIT: I note that Jerry has posted much the same solution about the time I was called for dinner (followed by part 2 of the mini series we started watching last night). I'll leave this one up for the tutorial aspects. Other than the use of pop-up menus in Table B, they're essentially the same.
    Also, I see I highlighted the wrong ground beef row on the Ingredient table. The correct (93%) one is the one transferred to the second table. Oops!

    Posting a screen shot is easier than getting a table to align itself properly here, as the forum software must be forced into recognizing tabs as tabs. Screen shots must be hosted elsewhere (eg. Photobucket, Picasa, Flickr), then the HTML link supplied by the hosting site (on some sites in a "Share this" menu) can be entered into your post to call the image. Be sure to check the Preview tab here (before posting) to see what your post will look like.
    Here's your LOOKUP formula. I've replaced the square brackets, parsed by the forum to indicate a link, with curly brackets so they would be visible.
    =LOOKUP(A2,Ingredients :: Asparagus:'Turkey Breast ', {Ingredients :: B2:D23}).
    The error message I get is: "B2:D3}" isn't a valid reference
    "B2:D23}" perhaps?
    LOOKUP is discussed on p 217 of the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide.
    It's syntax is:
    LOOKUP(search-for, search-where, result-values)
    So your formula,in English reads:
    Search for: the contents of cell A2 (on this table)
    In: the Table "Ingredients" in the columns "Asparagus" to "Turkey Breast"
    and return the results in the same row in the columns from B to D in the rows 2 to 23}
    I get an (expected) "invalid reference" message for Asparagus:'Turkey Breast '
    (Possibly due to my leaving 'use headers as column and row references' unchecked)
    Replacing that with the range in which the ingredients are listed (A2:A21), the error message changes to the one you quote.
    Even ignoring the square brackets, D23 is an invalid reference on my table, which ends with "turkey breast" in row 21. But even with the specified range completely on the table, the Invalid reference message remains, indicating the square bracket is a problem.
    My assumption is that it's there because you are attempting to define the results range as an array including all three columns from which you wish to gather results. Won't work.
    From p 217 of the iWork F&F User Guide:
    Usage Notes
    Both search-where and result-values are normally included and *are specified as either*
    *multiple columns or multiple rows, but not both* (one dimensional). However, for
    compatibility with other spreadsheet applications, search-where can be specified as
    both multiple columns and multiple rows (two dimensional) and result-values can
    be omitted.
    Editing to limit the result value array to a single column, and removing the square brackets gives a working formula for cell B2 on Table B:
    =LOOKUP(A2,Ingredients :: A2:A21, Ingredients :: B2:B21)
    Three further edits to the formula are needed before filling down and right to the rest of the active cells in Table B.
    The first is to make the column, but not the row, absolute in the cell address for search value so that this reference changes as the formula is filled down, but not as it is filled right.
    The second is to make both the columns and rows of the cell addresses specifying the search range absolute so that this range does not change as the formula is filled down, then right.
    The third is to make the rows (only) absolute in the result range so that they do not change as the formula is filled down, but do change as it is filled right, ensuring that we retrieve the values from the correct column of "Ingredients" to the corresponding column of Table B.
    These are done using the menu revealed by clicking the triangle that appears on the cell range reference when the mouse is placed on it in the formula bar. When done, the formula should look like this:
    =LOOKUP($A2,Ingredients :: $A$2:$A$21, Ingredients :: B$2:B$21)
    Finishing touch:
    As is, the formula will return error messages in rows where there is no entry in column A of Table B. To eliminate those, trap the error using IFERROR:
    =IFERROR(formula,"")
    (replace formula with the formula above, leaving off the = sign)

  • Please can you help my Register of names... I want a formula that simply adds numbers in a horizontal row of cells that increase as I add them. Thanks..

    Please can you help my Register of names... I want a formula that simply adds numbers in a horizontal row of cells that increase as I add them. It can not be a range of selected cells  because as I add new cells they are not in the range. Thanks..

    Hi Dave,
    Any formula that references its own row will return the error message you see unless it is in a Header column.
    Convert columns B, C and D to Header Columns, and Jerry's formula will work just fine:
    One caution, though—multiple header columns are a known factor in slowing Numbers down as the table gets larger. You can avoid adding header columns by specifying a 'fixed' range of cells from wich to get the sum and count values in C2 and D2.
    Make sure the range includes at least one 'extra' column. As more runs are added, add columns by inserting them before this 'extra column. If the new columns are inside the range specified in the formula, Numbers will adjust the formula to add the new columns. If they are outside the range, you will need to edit the formulas yourself.
    Note revised formula:
    To add four more runs, click on any cell in column L, then press option-left arrow four times to insert four new columns. Note the change in the formula:
    The last column is always included in the formula, but never gets counted (or summed) because its content is interpreted as a Text value, not a number.
    Note: Except for the change formulas and added columns, this is your original table, with one Header row and one Header column.

  • Hiding Rows/Col/Cells?

    Post Author: Ming
    CA Forum: Desktop Intelligence Reporting
    Is there a way to hide rows/cols/cells in BO? I want to summarize the data in my report, but I want to hide all the source data without affecting my summary.
    I basically have a dump of records and I want to summarize the sum value of various fields, but I just want one line record. Break sort of does what I want, but it leaves rows for all the entries. I just want 1 entry with summed values visible. Ideas? thanks

    i have this same exact issue with hiding rows. It is possible to hide columns by going into the table properties but i cannot figure out how to hide rows. (the meat of the data)
    anyone?

  • Apply percentage upcharge - multiple tables, multiple pages

    Creating a price book with multiple tables on multiple pages. When it comes time for a price increase, can I apply a percentage (for instance, 3%) upcharge to all or specific tables in the book? Is there an easy way to do this?

    Why not have one location that has the percent increase you wish to use, then refer a column next to the original Price with "Marked up price" that uses the original price times the one cell that has your percent in it. This way you have one location to type in the increase, and it reflects on all tables.
    If you want only specific tables at one time, but want to choose, then create a check list that you check off which tables get the price increase. In the "Marked up price" columns, you then put an IF statement that will show original only if its box in unchecked in the list table.
