Autofilling cells with existing data above in column? Numbers 2.0 did it, seems lost in 3.0

Autofilling cells with existing data above in column? Numbers 2.0 did it, seems lost in 3.0
Hello,
Just upgraded to Numbers 3.0 and use it for keeping the books on my business. When I input my receipts at the end of the day in to Numbers, it used to autofill the cell with suggestions as I type using existing data that is present in the same column within the table.
For example, I purchase parts from "Parts Store". Before instead of typing the entire phrase, I could just input the letter P and "Parts Store" would instantly pop up as a suggestion. I could hit enter and I would move on to the next cell. Made inputing data a lot easier.
It worked in 2.0, but seems lost in 3.0. Is there a way to turn this on? I tried searching with no luck.
Thanks for your help!

Hi AJ,
Cells formatted as pop-up are designed for this purpose, to choose from a list of repeating values. Even less typing. I like them better myself. No typos.
In the new Numbers hitting the spacebar doesn't activate a list so you have to go to the trackpad or mouse to make a pick from the list. It's very fast for me, but that depends on your setup and habits.

There is 1 drive with existing data on your LenovoEMC px6-300d.

Hi,
on the display of my px6-300d there is an error: "There is 1 drive with existing data on your LenovoEMC px6-300d".
Firmware version is 4.0.8.23976.
When I logon to web page of the device and click on the error message, I can see Storage Pool SP1 with capacity of 10.84TB of which 10.84TB is available. Drive 1 is "shaded", drives 2-6 are "A"
However there are no volumes there...
In the event log I can see following events (logon events removed):

I have spoken to an admin who reported this issue today in the morning. He has told me that he had spotted the problem on 7:03 am when one of virtual machines with a drive on px6 failed. He was waiting and on 8:29 am he restarted the device and after restart he started storage verification. When it finished (7:33 pm) he again restarted the device. There are no new error events in the event log, however I cannot see any data on the device.
When I click on drive 1 in Drive Management, I get a message "This drive contains existing data that must be overwritten before it can be used. Are you sure you want to overwrite the existing data?"
Does it mean that before RAID rebuild px6 requires approval to delete the drive with recoverable error (as seen on6:46 am in event log) and rebuild RAID? Should I click YES? I hope I will not loose the data.
Best regards,
Marcel

Hello vinaykumaar
I recommend that you power down the unit and swap the affected hard disk to another drive bay to see if that prevents the unit from restarting.
Then try allowing the unit to overwrite the specific drive. On a px unit this would be done via the storage pool information overview under drive management. On a ix unit you would go to Drive Management>Settings, check the "add disks to storage system..." then click apply. This will overwrite the disk marked by the green stripes.
If the above options do not help I recommend that you contact Lenovo Support in your region for further assistance.

Wow, Karan Taneja, you've just embarrassed yourself on a worldwide support forum. Not only is your post ridiculous and completely inappropriate for a technical support forum, but it also shows your ignorance as to whom you think the audience is. Apple is not here. It's users, like you.

How to fill an empty cell with the value above

Hello,
Please help me on the following issue related to BEx query and it's output in BEx analyzer as well as on Web.
I am trying to modify a query output where the empty cells are to be filled with the value in the above cell.
e.g. there is a column for transaction number, and this transaction number is the same for three rows, so it turns out to be two empty cells and only appears as if the transaction number applies to the first row only.
not sure how to paste screenshot or attach document but would love to provide more information if the above isn't suffice.
Please advise on what and where to modify in BEx designer.
Thank you for your help!

Thanks a lot...yes, now it works in BEx Analyzer but for some reason doesn't work in the Web view.
Any ideas why is that?
Thanks again for your prompt help.

RAID partitioning with existing data

Hi,
I'm planning on resizing my OWC Mercury Elite Qx2 (RAID 5, 8TB( 6TB)) to 1TB partitions each in order to avoid the FW800 issue, which slows the port speed down. Only problem is, there's a fair amount of data on the drives (approx. 65% used space).
Now I'm not sure, whether it is safe or not to repartition with the data on it. I got a backup of all the files, but all on different drives. Recopying them to the RAID would be a pain.
I tested the above with a 2TB (half full) drive creating three partitions. The speed increased significantly up to 20%. Do you think I could achieve the same with a RAID5 or are there other issues involved I haven't thought of?
Any hint would be greatly appreciated.

There are lots of workarounds:
Use Disk Utility running from a DVD.
Use Disk Utility running from an external drive.
Use Disk Utility running from another Mac using FireWire target disk mode.
Split the source mirror, remove one source drive and copy from one instead of the Mirrored pair.
Copy the mirrored pair onto a backup. Remove the pair and restore from the backup.
depending on which Mac model you have, use Optical drive connectors (2009 or later) or "hidden" ODD connectors to add an additional drive.

Conditional Formatting in one cell with a dates in another cell

I have a simple spreadsheet that will gauge a project's progress. I wish to have individual cells change color based on another cell. I can't get the right syntax in order - groan
E2 has today's date, =NOW()
G2 (not started) would change from a color to no color when the start date, F27, has arrived then
H2 (started) would change to a color when the date is met, F27, (may be change color as the completed date arrives) then no color when the completed date arrives, F28.
I2 (completed) would change to a color when the date is met, F28
When the spread sheet is opened or if I need to change the dates in either of the cells the cells with color gauges will update.
I am using conditional formating through the ribbon.
Please help!

Treating empty cells as missing data in formulae in Numbers '09

I'm working with numerical data where many cells are empty (missing data). My problem is that when I use formula to make calculations, Numbers treats empty cells as zeros, and won't let me search and replace an empty cell with a placeholder (like . in excel).
Any ideas?

When we don't want to display the result of a calculation on a certain condition, we can test for that condition and substitute a different output. In your case, you may have blank input cell and you don't want to display the negative result that would otherwise occur. There are at least two general approaches that you could use. The easiest would be to go ahead and make the calculation and then format all negative results to a font that wouldn't be visible, using Conditional Format. A slightly more complicated way, as Barry described above, would be to test for the blank cell condition and substitute a null string. Here's a graphic of the null string case.
When you have learned a few basic tricks this will all seem easy to you.

Help with filtering a query with a date as string column

Hello -- I've got a table column that contains dates as
string/text type (access db). I need to make a query of my table
that includes only the dates that match today's date (example
5-13-2008). I need two parts. One is to capture today's date, and
another to set the filter in the query.
Here's my base query
<cfquery name="someQuery" datasource="someDS">
SELECT col1, col2, dateCol, col4
FROM someTable
WHERE dateCol = "today's date"
</cfquery>
What's the best way to capture today's date? And then what's
the best way to set it to a string so I have an object to compare
with dateCol. I know #now()# will get today's date, however it
returns date + time. How can I format it as M-D-YYYY? Then, how do
I convert it to a string so I can evaluate in my query? Any help is
appreciated!

Redesign your database and store dates as dates instead of

I would love to do this, however I couldn't figure out how to
store date and time values AS DATE to my database. My front end is
Flex with a Coldfusion backend. When a form is filled, I need it to
send the current time and the current date of submission. Using
Date(), I can obtain the current date (date + time). However it's
not easy to separate the [date] and [time] values of the Date()
result without using a dateformatter with a mask. By doing this,
I've now taken my date as DATE and converted it to date and time
both AS STRING. Well after several trial and error tries as well as
looking for any help online, I just decided to use the
dateformatter, convert date and time to string and then save each
to their own columns.
The other way of doing this is to just have one column that
holds both the date and time, and use Date() to pass the correct
data-type to my db. However, when passing Date() to my db, it only
stores the date but sets the time to 00:00:00. Now if I could find
a way to get both correct date and time (example 5-13-2008 1:31:xx
PM), I could just use a dateformatter in my front end to display
the dates as I want. Again, the problem is I need the TIME value as
well, and it keeps defaulting to 00:00:00 in access.
@paross1-- I will try what you've provided just to get this
thing working, regardless if they are strings in the db instead of
dates.
If anyone can solve my default time issue mentioned above,
that would be great too..

Help please, I need a line graph from a chart with existing data.

I am trying to put together a form for tracking my weaight loss. I have decided on a format that I like, but I can't figure out how to create a line graph to represent the chart that collects the data. The graph will need to begin with the "start weight" and track all chages throught the 42 cells until the final "net loss."
Does anyone know how to set this up as a line graph? Your help would be much appreciated, thank you in advance.

Skipping ahead and assuming I picked the correct direction then i have a possible solution:
You need to get the weight loss numbers into a single column. If the table of 42 cells is called Table 1 and the table with the start weight is Table 2 and we call our new table Table 5:
Cell B2 of Table 5 = Table 2::A2
Cell B3 of Table 5 =B2+OFFSET(Table 1 :: $B$2,MOD(ROW()-3,7),QUOTIENT(ROW()-3,7))
Fill down with that formula

Autofill form with database data

I'm trying to create a form that when the page loads, will
          automatically fill with data according to the parameters specified in
          the url. I then want to be able to change fields within the form, and
          submit it, saving the changes to the database.
          I can do the last part, saving to the database via a submit button,
          but is there a way (non-JavaScript) to autofill the form with the
          pertinent data?


You can connect the form to the DB using anODBC connection. This functionality comes as part of Acrobat but the form must be Reader Extended by the full LiveCycle Server version of Reader Extension to allow this in Reader. In your case, if your system is the only on ethat will interact with the DB then this might be a viable solution (but you woudl have to use Acrobat). This solution woudl involve create an ODBC connection in your system then configuring the form to make use of that connection.
Does that make sense?

How to add primary key for table with existing data?

The table is occupied data already. There was no primary key before, so for every column, there are some duplicate values.
I want to add a new column, which should be of the datatype integer, and can automatically increment, starting from 001. I tried this in Oracle SQL Developer, but it says "ORA-01758: table must be empty to add mandatory (NOT NULL) column". How can I do it? Thanks!

Hello, don't call the column ID, that could be an ID relating to anything. Perhaps be a little more specific like emp_id .
Then to update it:
UPDATE Employee emp
SET emp_id = (
SELECT row_num
    FROM (
SELECT ROWID,
             ROW_NUMBER() OVER (ORDER BY ROWID) row_num
    FROM Employee emp2) emp2
WHERE emp.ROWID = emp2.ROWID);That will assign a new EMP_ID for each, beginning at 1.
Then:
ALTER TABLE Employee MODIFY emp_id NOT NULL;
ALTER TABLE Employee ADD CONSTRAINT EMP_PK PRIMARY KEY (EMP_ID);Then create a sequence for future population of the Employee table:
CREATE SEQUENCE emp_seq START WITH <maximum value of emp_id + 1>;

Update new field with existing data programmatically

I have a requirement to write a code that update an existing lookup field.
We are running sharepoint 2010. We have a content type, which is used throughout all the sites. The content type has a field called Product, which is a lookup field for all the products we have. The field also contains subproducts. For example, a product
by name PR1000 has a subproduct PR1010 all in the same drop down menu.
Now we want to change this grouping and separate them based on product and subproduct. I have created new field called Parent Product (PP) and Child Product(CP).
I would like to programmatically update the Parent Product field with Product and Child PRoduct field with child product if any. So here is how it works; if an existing item or document has product PR1010, I would to update PP with PR1000 and CP with 1010.
The problem I am having in order to start this project is the product field is part of every document library and lists and there are 1000s of items with data for product.
Please help with ideas or suggestions. I am thinking of a feature event receiver, which when activated will automatically update every item with product field not empty.
Thanks for your help in advance.

As Bruno suggested ,if its on time activity and on the all site then so go with Powershell
script. use feature event receiver when it require on the selected site and if this require to extend
other sites so that contol will be at your end,else you need to again modified the powershell script.

Best way to give a default value to a New Column with existing rows

Adding some columns to SQL tables with existing data rows. There are also views created from these tables. The views are used in some report/query software so NULL values are not good. Interested in learning about the best way to set a default value.
These are the ways that I can think of
1) ALTER TABLE using the DEFAULT to add the column and set the default value
++ Adds a constraint which is not terrible. Constraints are just not used much in this shop.
2) ALTER TABLE to add the column then do an UPDATE statement to update the values
++ might be an issue for tables with millions of rows
3) ALTER TABLE to add the column then use ISNULL in the CREATE VIEW

It is a large table with 444 columns and max row size of 2268. 907k records took 1 minute 38 seconds to UPDATE the column. I have about 12 fields to add to this table and about 44 tables (not all this large of course) so it will take some time to
UPDATE. Although ... i just tried updating 3 columns in a single UPDATE and it took 1 minute 36 seconds. So If I did all 12 fields in a single UPDATE it would be about the same time as a single Field. I will think about it.

How to clone data with in Table with dynamic 'n' number of columns

Hi All,
I've a table with syntax,
create table Temp (id number primary key, name varchar2(10), partner varchar2(10), info varchar2(20));
And with data like
insert itno temp values (sequence.nextval, 'test', 'p1', 'info for p1');
insert into temp values (sequence.nextval, 'test', 'p2', 'info for p2');
And now, i need to clone the data in TEMP table of name 'test' for new name 'test1' and here is my script,
insert into Temp select sequence.nextval id, 'test1' name, partner, info from TEMP where name='test1';
this query executed successfully and able to insert records.
The PROBLEM is,
if some new columns added in TEMP table, need to update this query.
How to clone the data with in the table for *'n' number of columns and*
some columns with dynamic data and remaining columns as source data.
Thanks & Regards

Hi,
Thanks for the quick reply.
My Scenario, is we have a Game Details table. When ever some Game get cloned, we need to add new records in to that Table for the new Game.
As, the id will be primary key, this should populate from a Sequence (in our system, we used this) and Game Name will be new Game Name. And data for other columns should be same as Parent Game.
when ever business needs changes, there will be some addition of new columns in Table.
And with the existing query,
insert into Temp (id, name, partner, info) select sequence.nextval id, 'test1' name, partner, info from TEMP where name='test'_
will successfully add new rows but new added columns will have empty data.
so, is there any way to do this, i mean, some columns with sequence values and other columns with existing values.
One way, we can do is, get ResultSet MetaData (i'm using Java), and parse the columns. prepare a query in required format.
I'm looking for alternative ways in query format in SQL.
Thanks & Regards
PavanPinnu.
