Auto numbering tables

I am currently using FrameMaker 8.0 and have had a problem with the auto numbering of tables.
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to auto number tables using different chapter numbers within the one document?
I know that it is possible to do this when the chapters are seperate documents within one book.
E.g.
First page - Chapter 1
Table 1.1
Table 1.2
Next page - Chapter 2
Table 2.1
Table 2.2 etc.
For some reason when I try to do this any tables under Chapter 2 are still named Table 1.1 and Table 1.2 etc.
I have tried using a series but that still does not seem to work.
Any help would be appreciated!

Thank you both, this helped a great deal.<br /><br />However, I am still having trouble with one file in the book. It seems to be repeating the same chapter number not adding one when the style appears again.<br /><br />E.g. Page 1 has Chapter 1 (C:Chapter <n+>)<br />     Page 3 has Chapter 1 (which is meant to be Chapter 2)<br /><br />Also is there a way to continue the chapter numbers from a previous file in the book?<br /><br />E.g. File A has Chapters 1-4 in it<br />     File B has Chapters 5-8 in it<br /><br />At the moment they are restarting in each file.<br /><br />Any ideas?<br /><br />Thanks,<br />Skye

  • How to maintain two sets of separate auto numbered tables?

    Hi everyone,
    Here is what I'm trying to do with FrameMaker and find impossible to do:
    I have to maintain two sets of different tables each starts with number 1 inside the table. So I created two paragraph tags with 'Auto Number' checked and applied to the two different tables. But the result is not what I want: the number inside one table continues from the other one, instead of 1, 2, 3, 4, ... and 1, 2, 3, 4... It is 1, 2, 3, 4...
    Am I doing anything wrong here? Must be, for it doesn not work.
    Thanks for any help.

    You're not doing anything wrong, just perhaps missing some of the details. FM autonumbering is a joy to work with once you've got the hang of it, and/but different from most other approaches. (and by "different", I don't just mean flexible and reliable)
    Broadly speaking, I'd say you have two options:
    define two styles for the numbering you use inside tables, let's say TableNumberStart and TableNumberContinue. Define autonumbering so that TableNumberStart uses <n=1> and TableNumberContinue uses <n+1>
    This works because you've made the extra effort yourself.
    use one style – let's say TableAnchor – to anchor each table, and another style – let's say TableNumber – for the numbering you use inside tables. Define autonumbering so that TableAnchor uses < =0>, and TableNumber uses <n+1>.
    This works because you've asked FM to make the effort for you :-} TableAnchor resets the counter to zero, and TableNumber increments it as required. Note: in the definition < =0> the space before the equals sign is essential. It keeps the counter from displaying on the page.
    While you're experimenting, read up on Series labels – so you can manage separate numbering for, say, tables and figures. And on Building blocks – I was so impressed the first time I managed to use numbered heading styles to reset numbering in a list …

  • Auto Numbering Table Rows

    In the linked form, I am trying to have the Model numbers increase by 5 with the staring row being 10. The first row works correctly (15) but the next row displays 16 instead of 20. Any help offered is appreciated.
    https://acrobat.com/#d=qqeTcs45UOSYHDSkvZX4ng

    Hi,
    to increase the count by 5 you need to change your script into:
    this.rawValue = Row1.ModelStart.rawValue + ((this.parent.index + 1)  * 5);

  • Auto-numbering in Tables - any new suggestions?

    I have a table in Pages and I need each row to have a stand-alone number in the first column — simple numbering 1, 2, 3.
    If I use the numbered list feature, all the rows are #1.
    I have read as many other threads about numbering tables as I could  find and tried the =ROW() formula, but it numbers the header row so my  first row of data is 1.2. Also it doesn’t auto-number new rows -- you  have to paste in the formula in every new row, and that still doesn't  solve the issue of numbering the header row.
    I tried the auto-fill drag feature (selecting the cells and dragging the corner), but once the cells are numbered, they do not update when the row order changes, and new rows have no numbering. The table is very long and having to update the numbering using the drag feature has become frustrating and cumbersome.
    I need my first row of data to be 1 and my second row to be 2 and so on — sounds simple right?
    Any suggestions other than the ones above?
    Thanks in advance,
    Katz
    p.s., Numbers has the exact same issues and also doesn’t auto number when rows are moved or added, so it doesn't help to work in Numbers and copy ithe spreadsheet over as a table.

    In Numbers, or Pages:
    If your first row of data is row 2 and you want it to be numbered "1" then you use the formula "=ROW() - 1" (without the quotes) in the first column and fill it down in all the cells of the column.
    If all the rows in the table except header and footer rows have that formula in them, Numbers will include the formula when you add new rows. If you rearrange the rows by cutting and pasting, or by dragging a row to somewhere else, of course, it takes the formula with it leaving a blank cell behind. (So don't do that; just move the part of the row from column "B" on.).

  • Auto-numbering of item field in custom table for EEW enhancements for BUPA

    Hi Experts,
    We have a requirement to generat 3 custom tables in EEWB,for BUPA and assigned it to BP_HEAD. I have done all the generations and it works fine, the problem  is that the tables that are generated is not allowing us to have a data(material) of 0...n cardinality. 
    The table that we are aiming is to allow multiple records, so my solution is to have an extra item number field so that it will allow multiple records for a material. But users are requesting to have the item number field of the tables to be auto-numbering.
    I would like to know if this autonumbering is possible or not? what methods in BP_EEW should i use to implement this logic. I 'm very new to CRM2007, so I'm still not very familiar on how to use the objects generated by the component workbench.
    p.s.
    I've already search the forum but can find any relevant topic related to my request. If you have any known related topic, It would be highly appreciated.
    Thanks and regards,
    JP

    Dear Syed,
       You can do many things in table maintenance screen like validation of some field, making some field required or displayed etc.
       For auto increment you have to use Number-Ranges. FM NUMBER_GET_NEXT is helpful in this case.
       Where to write the code??? The Function-Group you have made. There will be includes. You can easily locate the place to write these codes.
       Caution point is that if you re-generate the table maintenance then all code will be gone.

  • Auto numbering in an editable table cell

    I created a dynamic table with add/delete row buttons and the second column with text fields.  The text field I want it to initially say <enter task 1> and <enter task 2> and when the user clicks on the add row button it would then say <enter task 3>.  I tried the patterns display but not sure how to get it to do auto numbering.  I also tried the formcalc script $ = Concat ("<Task", $.parent.index + 1, ">").  This seemed to work with the auto numbering but then I couldn't actually edit the boxes.  Any help on this would be greatly appreciated...thank you.

    Did you make the field as ReadOnly or Protected?
    Also make sure where did you place your code? If it is in the Calculate event, the default is "Calculated - ReadOnly".
    Placing the code in Initialize event might help.
    Thanks

  • Adding Auto-Numbering ID

    Hi everybody
    I'm using oracle 9i , and I want to add auto-numbering identity column to existing tables, how can I do this? is it possible to add it for already existing rows?
    and is it necessary to link the related tables through this new added ID???
    thanks in advance

    An "auto-numbering identity column" is a bit of a SQL Server-ism. In Oracle, you can create a sequence object and use that in your insert statement or create a BEFORE INSERT trigger that populates the value, i.e.
    CREATE SEQUENCE my_sequence
      START WITH 1000
      INCREMENT BY 1
      CACHE 100;
    INSERT INTO my_table( new_id_column, <<column list>> )
      VALUES( my_sequence.nextval, <<more data> );Justin

  • How can I take data from multiple pages documents and put them into a numbers table?

    Can someone help me change the line width of my numbers table, its not set to thin or none and its stuck on pt25. its a spreadsheet i imported from excel.

    MR,
    Apparently the import wasn't a good one.
    The best option at this point might be to start a new table. Insert a new Table, Copy the old table cell range, select the first cell in the new table and Edit > Paste and Match Style. This will throw out all the old formatting. A bit of work, but a nice clean start.

  • How do I delete email hyperlinks in a Numbers Table doc??

    I'm using Numbers' Tables for a membership list and would like to have the email hyperlinks removed from this doc. When I highlight and rt. click, the menu gives me the options to follow or copy the link but not delete it.   =\

    Not sure why Copy Paste Values would work on my machine and not yours.
    Here are screenshots of Jerry's instructions:
    The Inspector (check 'Make all hyperlinks inactive')
    The preferences (uncheck 'Automatically detect email and web addresses'):
    Jerry, do these do different things, the Inspector targeted just at selected cells, perhaps?

  • Auto numbering is happening even when F11 is pressed

    Hi ,
    We are developing a customer form wherein we have 2 data blocks . These two data blocks share the master-detail relationship. The detail block is a multi record block.
    We are auto numbering an item <line_number> in the detail block following the steps mentioned in the metalink [ID 33342.1]
    https://support.oracle.com/epmos/faces/ui/km/SearchDocDisplay.jspx?_afrLoop=130989808463426&recommended=true&type=DOCUMENT&id=33342.1&_afrWindowMode=0&_adf.ctrl-state=ud1uneota_69
    The steps mentioned in the link are generating numbers automatically when a new record is created and resequences the line numbers when a record is deleted. It works fine in these two scenarios.
    But we have two issues here :
    1) The line numbers are getting generated even when we press F11 in th detail block. This should not happen in our form. (We need to suppress the auto numbering in F11 mode)
    2) If we move the cursor to a new record in the detail block, the line number gets generated there but if we move back to the previous record without entering anything in the new record, that new record does not disappear. It stays there .
    Please let us know how can the above two issues be resolved
    TIA
    -SR

    Hi.
    From what I saw on metalink note this is expected behavior. So the first problem is simply to solve, Just call :SYSTEM.MODE function and if it's result is ENTER-QUERY then do nothing (do not call resequence routine). As for the second problem there is a simple solution if your business logic can accept it. You could make one item in child block required. This way a user could not walk away from that record without deleting it first. If this solution is not applicable to you then you will have to manually program logic for this situation.
    Best regards.

  • Is it possible to select a subset of rows from a Numbers table?

    I know I can use the COUNTIF, SUMIF, AVERAGEIF functions to operate on a subset of rows in a Numbers table based on a condition. What I would like is to be able to use other functions, for example the MAX and MIN functions.
    For example, give a table like this:
    A
    B
    1
    Fred
    20
    2
    George
    30
    3
    Fred
    25
    4
    Bob
    15
    5
    Bob
    20
    6
    Fred
    10
    7
    George
    9
    8
    George
    25
    9
    Fred
    12
    10
    Bob
    13
    What I want could be expressed as =MAX( SELECTIF(A1:A10, "=Fred", B1:B10) )
    Where the SELECTIF function would return a range containing B1,B3, B6 and B9 that could be operated on by the MAX function.

    There is no single function to do what you want.  Here is a way you can achive your goal:
    This is a down-and -dirty solution because I am not sure how you want to use the informtion (so I kept it all in one table):
    E1=IFERROR(MATCH($D$1, B, 0), "")
    F1=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E1-1,$A$2:$C$11, 3), "")
    E2=IFERROR(E1+MATCH($D$1, INDIRECT("B"&E1+1&":B"&ROWS(Table 11)), 0), "")
    F2=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(E2-1,$A$2:$C$11, 3), "")
    select E2 and F2, then fill down
    Now find the max:
    D2=MAX(F)

  • Problem when create auto numbering in BP master using Formatted Search

    Hi all,
    I have a problem in creating auto numbering in BP for Customer type using Formatted search
    My query is like this
    declare @tempNo as char(20)
    set @tempNo=(select  Isnull(max(REPLACE(OCRD.CardCode , LEFT(OCRD.CardCode,10),'')),0)  + 1
    from OCRD where (CardType ='C') and LEFT(OCRD.CardCode,3) = 'CU.' )
    set @tempNo='CU.'left(convert(varchar,GETDATE(),112),6)'.'+@tempNo
    select cast(@tempNo as char(20))
    It should be creating the new number for example
    CU.201101.1
    CU.201102.2
    CU.201103.3
    CU.201103.4
    The format will be like this CU.YYYYMM.autonumbering
    So if the current year is still the same it will always increase the number and it will reset the number become 1 if the current year is change.
    But when i execute the number , the number doesn't increase, still generate the last number CU.201103.4
    I have use this query in generate item number, it runs well but different format.
    Is there some thing wrong with my query?
    Thanks in advance
