Autofill increment

I can't get Numbers to increment a column of figures by dragging the fill handle of 2 selected cells as it should - they fields just fill with the recurring pair of original figures. Any one solved this one?

No and there will not be one.
The list tool is not designed to apply on rows of a table.
It's a text feature. So, it is perfectly normal that it apply only in a cell containing several rows as explained in the given thread.
What me may hope is an enhanced version of the "fill with a pattern" tool.
At this time it apply only to numbers and date_time values.
We may wish that in a future version it apply to string of these kinds:
item8001
item8002
item8003
item8004
or
8001item
8002item
8003item
8004item
Traditional conclusion, if you want such a feature,
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'09

  • Autofill not incrementing a number pattern

    I've seen how autofill is supposed to work once you start a pattern in a table. From what I've seen, it is supposed to increment a number pattern in the following cells.
    So if I entered 1,2,3,4, in the first 4 cells, in the next 4 cells, auto fill would enter 5,6,7,8.
    However, instead, I am jut getting a repeat of the original pattern, over and over, 1,2,3,4, 1,2,3,4, 1,2,3,4,
    I couldn't find any preference to change this behavior.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks,
    Richard

    Okay Richard, I have found out why mine was not working...
    It seemed my column was not formatted as Automatic. It was initially formatted as Text, see here:
    So, I tried just highlighting the cells I wanted the incrementing to occur in and set them to "Automatic" in the format. Then I tried to pull the handle down and I still ended up with the repeating 1 2.
    So, then I decided to try formatting the ENTIRE column as Automatic. I clicked the "A" column to select the entire column. And then realized that it had some formatting issues because the Format selection was blank, like in the following screenshot:
    I went ahead and selected "Automatic" for the ENTIRE column.
    And then I tried the incrementing, and it worked!
    Hopefully this fixes your issue as well! Good luck!

  • Autofill in Numbers 3.0

    I am sure I can't see it, but is there a way to autofill in numbers 3.0 ie:
    11/10/2013
    18/10/2013
    25/10/2013
    01/11/2013
    08/11/2013
    I used to be able to select the above and drag down and numbers 2.3 would fill in the dates correctly. So the next date would be 15/11/13.

    Hi Nakeeb,
    Numbers will fill incremented values when filling dates IF you select either a single value or two values. With a single date selected, the dates willl increment by one day per row. If two dates are selected, the increment will be the difference between the two selected dates.
    Exceptions: If the two dates are the same day of consecutive months, the increment will be to the same date in the next month. Where the first two dates are the 30th of December and the 30th of January, the next two will be the 28th (or 29th) of February and the 30th of March. Where the first two dates are the last days of two consecutive months, the increment will be to the last day of each month.
    If more than two dates are selected, filling down will result in the selected dates repeating.

  • Copying cells without autofilling

    I'm using Numbers version 9.  I have a row of cells in a summary sheet that reference back to cells in a particular sheet.  Now I want to create other rows that reference the same cells in other sheets.  When I try to copy these cells to create the other rows, Numbers is autofilling (auto-incrementing the references) incorrectly.  Is there a way to copy a series of cells without autofill?
    Do I have to select each cell and change it's reference to absolute?
    Also, is there a way to select a bunch of cells and just change the sheet that's referenced by all the cells formulas?
    Thanks,
    Dave

    Hi Gavin,
    Here's the original formula from the post above:
    B2: =OFFSET(INDIRECT($A2&"::$A$1",),3,COLUMN()-1,,)
    The syntax for OFFSET is:
    OFFSET(base, row offset, column offset,rows,columns)
    The last two arguments are otional. If omitted, as they are in this formula, both default to 1, and the content of a single cell is returned.
    'base' is the address of the cell from which OFFSET starts. Here, it is specified using the INDIRECT function, which constructs the address as a text string. The content of cell A2 (on the table containing the formula) is the name of the table (ABIE) from which data is to be returned to row 2 of the summary table. The name from A2 is concatenated with the text "::$A$1" to create the address of the base—ABIE::$A$1.
    All data to be returned from ABIE is in row 4 of that table, three rows below $A$1, so the row offset is 3.
    In your case, the data is in row 25 of the table, twenty four rows below $A$1. Your row offset value is 24.
    The first piece of data to be returned is in column B of ABIE, one column to the right of the base, $A$1.
    the second piece is in column C, the third in column D.
    The COLUMN() function, with no argument supplied, returns the 'column number' of the cell containing the formula. In B2, it will return 2, in C2, 3, and in D2, 4. Each of these values is one more than the column offset needed to get to the column containing the data, so we can specify the column offset using COLUMN()-1, and the returned value will automatically adjust as the formula is filled right.
    That's true for the three columns of data in the example, and for the six columns of data in your case, provided the columns are contiguous.
    So for your case, assuming you are returning the data from row 25 of the source table(s), and that you are returning it to row 2 of your summary tabe. the formula requires only one reision:
    B2: =OFFSET(INDIRECT($A2&"::$A$1",),24,COLUMN()-1,,)

  • I am trying to restore my catalog having previously done a back up to an external hard drive and subsequently an incremental backup. I am using Photoshop Elements 11 and the only option given in the restore procedure is to open a .tly file.

    I have done this but now the restore function is asking for yet another file, which i assume to be the original back up, but that is the only .tly file since the only other relevant file appears to be called catalog.buc but that is just not visible when using the restore function? How do I continue from here with this restoration of my catalog?

    Martin_Had a écrit:
    Thank you Andaleeb. I appear to have an old backup of a year ago, and a more recent full back up plus an incremental backup.
    Regrettably I don't really understand what is going on because firstly the restore does not complete its cycle so I cannot see what that backup file contains and secondly all I have read would suggest that the .tly file is the full backup and the catalog.buc file is the incremental backup. For the present, the catalog shows the photos for 2014 which makes me think I might have backed from the old back up file.
    I am minded to create another catalog and try again.
    Any views on what I can do?
    A backup (full or incremental) is a folder, not a file. It contains renamed pictures file copies as well a copies of the files and subfolders of the original catalog. The catalog.buc is a renamed copy of the database of your original catalog while the backup.tly. That backup.tly file contains the information to restore the renamed pictures where you decide, the original location or a new custom one. You can't do anything with the backup yourself, only the restore process can do the job if it finds the backup.tly file. In the case of an incremental backup, you have to tell the restore process where to find the incremental backup folder; it finds the backup.tly file in that folder and finds what is to restore there; then it asks you for the previous backup folder (in your case the full backup); you then browse to that full backup folder so that the restore process can find find the backup.tly there; the restore then deals with the rest of the files to restore.

  • Regarding REFRESHING of Data in Data warehouse using DAC Incremental approa

    My client is planning to move from Discoverer to OBIA but before that we need some answers.
    1) My client needs the data to be refreshed every hour (incremental load using DAC) because they are using lot of real time data.
    We don't have much updated data( e.g 10 invoices in an hour + some other). How much time it usually takes to refresh those tables in Data wareshouse using DAC?
    2) While the table is getting refreshed can we use that table to generate a report? If yes, what is the state of data? Stale or incorrect(undefined)?
    3) How does refresh of Fin analytics work? Is it one module at a time or it treats all 3 modules (GL, AR and AP) as a single unit of refresh?
    I would really appreciate if I can get an answer for all the questions.
    Thank You,

    Here you go for answers:
    1) Shouldn't be much problem for a such small amt of data. All depends on ur execution plan in DAC which can always be created as new and can be customized to load data for only those tables...(Star Schema) ---- Approx 15-20 mins as it does so many things apart from loading table.
    2) Report in OBIEE will give previous data as I believe Cache will be (Shud be) turned on. You will get the new data in reports after the refresh is complete and cache is cleared using various methods ( Event Polling preferred)
    3) Again for Fin Analytics or any other module, you will have OOTB plans. But you can create ur new plans and execute. GL, AR, AP are also provided seperate..
    Hope this answers your question...You will get to know more which going through Oracle docs...particular for DAC

  • For no apparent reason, my email will not autofill addresses. I have no problem on IE, Chrome or Opera. This problem just started with firefox within the last 24 hours. My mail server is AT&T/Yahoo, and I use webmail - not a mail program.

    With all other browsers, when I compose an email, once I start to put the recipient's name in the To box, it will autofill the name if it is in my Contacts. This has been the case with firefox until the last 24 hours. Now, firefox does not automatically recognize any of my contacts. This problem is not happening on IE, Chrome, or Opera.

  • Is there a routine one can use to shift the column of data by one each time the loop index increments? In other words, increment the columns that the data is being saved by using the index?

    The device, an Ocean Optics spectrometer in columns of about 9000 cells.I'm saving this as a lvm file using the "write to measurement file.vi". But it doesn't give me the flexibility as far as I can tell.
    I need to move the column by the index of the for loop, so that when i = n, the data will take up the n+1 column. (the 1st column is used for wavelength). How do I use the "write to spreadsheet file.vi" to do this? Also, if I use the "write to spreadsheet file.vi", is there a way one can increment the file name, so that the data isn't written over. I like what "write to measurement file.vi" does.
    I'd really appreciate any help someone can give me. I'm a novice at this, so the greater the detail, the better. Thanks!!!

    You cannot write one column at a time to a spreadsheet file, because a file is arranged linearly and adding a column would need to move (=read and rewwrite elsewhere) almost all existing elements to interlace the new data. You can only append new rows without having to touch the already written data.
    Fields typically don't have fixed width. An exception would be binary files that are pre-allocated at the final size. In this case you can write columns by setting the file positions for each element. It still will be very inefficient.
    What you could do is append rows until all data is written, the read, transpose, and write back the final file.
    What you also could to is build the final array in a shift register and write the entire things to file at once after all data is present.

  • SYSDATE is not getting incremented in the parameter - Scheduler

    Hi All
    I have used the query 'SELECT SYSDATE FROM DUAL' for a parameter in concurrent request. If I execute this concurrent as a single request, then it returns exact sysdate (current date) in a parameter.
    If i schedule this program for daily execution using scheduler, then the sysdate is always giving value of the date when i have configured the scheduler (even I have enabled the check box increment date parameters each run).
    For example,
    My Requirement :The scheduler configured such a way that it should run everyday.Whenever it runs my query has to return the current date.
    Current Issue: I schedule the scheduler on 23-Dec-2008. If it runs on 24-DEC-2008,it returns as '23-DEC-2008', If it runs on 28-DEC-2008 also,it returns as '23-DEC-2008.However If I execute this as a single request, it works fine.
    Can anyone help me please,,It is very urgent.
    Thanks in Advance

    Hi,
    This forum is dedicated to the Oracle Scheduler which uses the dbms_scheduler package.
    It looks like you might be using a different scheduler since the Oracle Scheduler does not allow using a query as a parameter and does not have an "increment date parameters" checkbox.
    If you are using the Oracle Applications Scheduler, you should ask this question on the Applications forum here
    http://forums.oracle.com/forums/category.jspa?categoryID=3
    If you are using the Enterprise Manager Scheduler you should ask on the Grid Control forum here
    Enterprise Manager
    If you are using the Oracle Scheduler you should post the code being used to create your job which may be found by using the "Show SQL" button on the create job webpage. This should include a call to dbms_scheduler.create_job .
    Thanks,
    Ravi.

  • Using Safari Password Sharing to Autofill Login Info in Apps

    At WWDC 2014, developers were told that a new part of the Continuity functionality would be the ability to have Safari keep your login information for an app and autofill it. I think it was called Safari Password Sharing. It's referenced on a number of websites:

    Does anyone know if this was ever implemented? It's driving me crazy trying to find where this is in development.

    That's probably due to the sites being secure sites.

  • InDesign CS6 Text Wrap increments not accurate.

    My work jumped from CS4 to CS6 so I don't know if CS5 had the same issue. Anyway. Text wrap (around bounding box) seem to now be very limited. For example, If I have, say a .25 text wrap on the bottom of a object, but I need to change it slightly to .245 the text does not move. The box shows the change, but the text below just doesn't follow suit. CS4 I was able to make tiny incremental changes to the wrap, but it is not working for me now in CS6. Any ideas, answers?

  • Refresh browser causes to increment results

    Hi,
    I have a servlet that is using a database to query results from a survey. The survey has 3 questions and each one of them has 4 possible answers. The query runs fine and displays in the web browser, but once I do a refresh some of the data increments its value at a constant rate.

    Hi,
    I do encounter similar problem. The root cause was that URL at the location bar of the browser still pointing to the same servlet (which handle the HTTP POST/GET request to update the database) after the result was returned by the servicing servlet.
    For example, in your case the "Survey" servlet URL.
    The scenario is like this.
    1.Browser (HTML form) ---HTTP post ---> Survey Servlet (service & update database)
    2.Survey Servlet -- (Result in HTML via HttpServletResponse)---> Browser (display the result)
    Note that after step 2, the browser's location bar value still pointing to the Survey Servlet URL (used in the HTML form's action value). So if the refresh is performed here, the same action will be repeated, as the result, 2 identical records have been created in your database table instead of one.
    A way to work around this is to split the servlet in to two, one performing the update of database and one responsible to display the result.
    Thing become as follow:
    1.Browser (HTML form) ---HTTP post ---> Survey Servlet (service & update database)
    2.Survey Servlet -- (Redirect the Http request)---> Display Result ServletBrowser
    3.Display Result Servlet --(Acknowledgement in HTML via HttpServletResponse) ---> Browser (display the result)
    Note that now the browser's location bar will point to the Display Result Servlet. Refresh action will be posted to Display Result Servlet which will not create duplication of database update activity.
    to redirect the request to another servlet, use the res.sendRedirect(url); where res is the HttpServletResponse object and url is the effective url of calling the target servlet.
    Hope that this help.
