Calc: How can I get absolute cell references in tables to work?

Hi, I'm new to Star Office, and have run into a problem in my first spreadsheet.
I have a data table in my spreadsheet.
Some cells in the table need to make calculations based on other cells in the table.
When I sort the table, however, the cell references are made to be incorrect. I expected that I could just use absolute references (e.g. $A$2) and when the table was sorted those references would be updated to refer to the new absolute location of that cell, e.g. $A$10). However, the absolute references are being left literally the same ($A$2) after the sort, making them reference a different row of data than intended. Relative references of course don't work in this situation either (I tried for thoroughness). (I thought Excel behaved the way I expected, but I just tried it in Excel 2007 and it is exhibiting the same behavior as StarOffice Calc.)
I'm also concerned, although I haven't tried it yet, about what will happen when I reference cells in this table from another table using absolute references that the same problem will exist...
So basically, I can't find a way to use absolute references to cells in a table that will persist correctly when the table is sorted. Any suggestions?
Thanks. Asa

I was able to work around the problem by creating an index column in the table with a unique number for each row of data and using vlookup() to reference the correct row. If there is a more elegant solution I'm still interested :)

OK. Think I've got it now thanks to looking at the short keys and searching for "Full Screen". The upper left key is "`" which looks like a grave - a slightly angled single quote. But when I look at the "Application" setting for Toggle full screen it is set to "'" - a "normal" single quote. Sure enough, if I hit the normal single quote key the toggle works.
I have not been anywhere near the hotkeys and can't imagine why anything would change it from a grave key to a single quote - especially as they look almost identical on the screen. I'm guessing that Adobe changed this (maybe only for international users?)
Anyway I now know how to toggle full screen, although it makes the "Premiere" keyboard with its big purple key for "Toggle full screen" redundant. Does make me wonder what the shortcut key of "'" or CTRL + "'" gives that I'm presumably missing since it appears to have been remapped.

How can I get a Visa Reference Number on a Spectrum Analyzer?

I have a GPIB Address of 18 on a 8593 EM Spectrum Analyzer. How can I get a VISA reference Number for my VI program

You must have a pretty old version of LabVIEW if you need a session ID instead of just a VISA Resource. If that's the case, you need to first use an VISA Open function in which you specify a resource name of GPIB::18. The open function will return a unique ID that you wire to either VISA Write/Read or a subVI in a driver.

I have purchase iphone4 from someone,it is not factory unlock ,how can i get it factory unlock,its safari not working and its not showing drive on my computer

i have purchase iphone4 from gray market,it is not factory unlock,how can i get it factory unlock,
its safari not working and it is not showing drive in my computer.

iPhones are sold in carrier-locked and unlocked versions. If the phone has a carrier lock on it, you must contact the carrier to have it removed (you probably need to bring the phone to the carrier for the process). If you don't know the carrier, you won't be able to get it unlocked. US carriers will not remove the carrier lock and it cannot be removed.
How is Safari behaving that makes you say that Safari is not working? The lock status of the phone won't affect Safari, except that if the phone is locked and you aren't using the carrier (and SIM provided by the carrier) to which it is locked, then you can't use the phone or 3G service, only Wi-Fi.
The iPhone should not appear as a drive on your computer, so there's no error there.

In Numbers, how can I make a cell reference a constant in a formula?

This is a basic question, but I am not sure of the answer. I am trying to calculate a previous SUM that I have by a column. But when I calculate it, it keeps looking for data in the cells after the SUM that I already have.
In other words, how can I get a constant cells value into my equation?
Any help would be great!
(In excel, I could do it just by placing $ around my cell field. Like H23 would be $H23$. THanks!)

JJ,
Numbers works exactly like Excel in this regard. To change H23 from a reference that will change if the formula is moved to a fixed cell reference, make it $H$23.

How can I get the magnifying glass in Preview to work?

I have the problem that the magnifying glass in Preview is simply a grey circle. It's not magnifying anything. Does anyone of you know where the problem is? How can I get it to work? Deleting the .plist files in the Prefs didn't do the trick. Thank you very much.

I don't believe there is such a thing on the Mac Pro (trash can), but I did finally get something to work with a not-very-instinctive combination of System Preferences (select USB mic), Audio MiDi Setup (select USB mic), and Premier Pro Preferences, Audio Hardware (DO NOT select the USB mic, but rather the System Default Input/Output). No other combination worked (I tried them all), and when I tried changing Audio MiDi settings while Premier Pro was running, I'd occasionally get the endless spinning wheel that required a re-start. Even with all this, one channel was peaked-out with noise (source?) which I couldn't eliminate with any settings (can do it in post, however). Overall a disappointing experience. I don't know why the Audio MiDi Setup has to be involved, or why this was so difficult with my set-up (I'm not ruling out user error).
Any further advice is more than welcome,
David

How can I get vertex colors on a mesh to work properly on a PDF 3D

Hi everyone,
I am working with GeoMagic Wrap 2013, a software for modelling meshes.
I digitalize objects through a 3d scanner.
The Scanner can digitalize objects, generating a mesh, either with .stl or .obj extensions.
.Obj is useful because you can retain the original color of the object you are acquiring when getting the mesh.
What Wrap 2013 let me do, among other functionalities, is to export the mesh in the .pdf format as a PDF 3D.
The issue is that what i see in Wrap 2013 is this:
but what i get when i export them in PDF 3D is this:
which is unconvenient because the point of this is to provide a potential client with a fully rotatable and zoomable preview of a product he/she is interested in.
How can i get the original colors to render properly on a PDF 3D?
Thank you

Thanks Dave,
I am not so technical about the subject but what you are saying (and what is written on the topic you liked above), is that is not possible to achieve the result i'd like with my model using PDF 3D?
What is quite annoying is that many mesh modelling softwares now provide PDF3D export service but practically forcing you to use uniformed colors that are really not suitable for certain use... you can't have a model with the original (or vertex more in general) colors...
That would be really a pity to say the least, especially considering that after some work time i can have really nice looking models within my sofware and no way to present it to the client except some really "flat" photos :/

How can I get rid of Global Temp Table

Hello,
I've been writing PL/SQL stored proc for creating reports on VB.NET front end. Until now, I've been using session specific global temp table to store intermediate results and at the end I pass the result set to .NET via reference cursor. The reports are created by simply binding the ref cursor result sets to .NET grids. It's been working fine, but I am kind of bothered by the temp tables. I looked on other options, but couldn't really come up with one.
Can somebody suggest me how I can get rid of those temp tables? Thanks,

Tubby, that's exactly I was trying to do. I think that table type has to be defined in database, not within PL/SQL. How can I create that table of user defined record type? I tried that, but it doesn't allow me. I think I am missing something. For example,
create type group_t is record
(A varchar2,
B number,
C number)
now inside sp, i have something like:
type my_group is table of group_t index by binary_integer
now I have sp cursor as
cursor cur_test IS 'ABC' as A, 1 as B, 5 as C
now i do something like this. My original queries are longer and much more complicated so please don't suggest you can directly open ref cursor for this query.
FETCH cur_test BULK COLLECT INTO my_group;
Then I do all the processing, calculations, totals, sub-totals, and insert into temp table and return via ref cursor.
My problem is I can't directly fetch into the above table you mentioned. How should I go about in this situation?
Maybe I should STOP thinking about this approach and just do whatever I've been doing or solve it through pure SQL. However, there are tons of problems with pure SQL approach.

How can I get outgoing mail in Mail program to work consistently?

Some times using Mail messages can be sent immediately on any of my several accounts including a gmail account. Other times no mail can be sent perhaps until the next day. It just read sending. If I transfer my outgoing gmail messages to gmail on safari I can send it immediately. I am changing no settings and incoming mail is coming in without difficulty. This is most frustrating if I am trying to response to a message and I can't get it out until the next day. Any suggestions? Thank you

I have had sbcglobal dsl and now Uverse and periodically have had the problem of outgoing mail being rejected by the smtp server. The problem has been changes made at the server by the isp. I make no changes and things go from working to not working. Over the last 6 years I have gotten pretty good and "fixing" the problem by deleting accounts and reentering the data in the Mail program and at the AT&T website. A process they call verification is involved. Now it is broken and it is unfixable.
I have spent the better part of the last 3 days trying to get a third party or vanity email address to verify. The panels say I have successfully verified my address but it will not send. Along the way I have read a lot of stuff on various forums and am thinking that the issue may be the same between at&t and other big providers... they shut down 3rd party address on smtp in their war on spam.
So we called att support and were told we would have to pay for premium support. We asked instead to cancel our service. We signed up with a local dsl service (Houston) and discovered to our dismay that DSL does not equal DSL. The local service has never been able to swap over a Uverse dsl service. So we were back to Uverse to have Uverse dsl canceled and regular at&t dsl installed.... it is like dealing with two different companies. Along the way we discover that at our location we will lose the 6 Mbps service and only be able to get 1.5 Mbps... our modem will have to be changed out and at this point we are sad and weakened. The Uverse rep offers to lower the premium support charge from $30 to $15 so we gave in and signed up for it. The next day I get the very polite and seemingly competent Paulo on the line. We get set up for him to take over the cursor and we start reviewing my settings. Bottomline. I had all my settings perfect... practice, practice etc. They were absolutely correct on every panel. Paulo got to see that the verification does not work and that it is not possible to set up a "reply to" third party address that will work. Paulo was very nice and very baffled. He invited me to call back but he really had no idea about what to do to get things working.
By this time I am feeling pretty defeated and trapped... I cannot reasonably move to another provider and no one at AT&T can make it work. There is a happy ending for me in this though and this could work for someone else which is why I am making this long post. My vanity email is from an email forwarding service where I have had an account for 12 years. My isps change as my job has moved me overseas and back and across the US several times... my email address does not change. The company I use is pobox.com I was looking around at their website and noticed that my service includes use of their smtp server. I printed off the instructions, which they have for about 20 mail clients, pc, mac, et al and within 10 minutes I was sending mail from [email protected]. I got no error messages and when the mail arrived it showed from [email protected] and when we replied to that email it put [email protected] in the to:. Man am I happy! This fix did not cost me incremental $ and it was easy. The service costs $20 per year for a single year subscription... I have a 5 yr which runs me $15 per year. There are other benefits to the service... decent spam filtering and url forwarding.
If you are having a problem with a vanity address not working through your isp smtp server and you can stomach $20 per year, go on over to pobox.com and tell them Pam sent you.
ps the other thing that I got to work was sending mail out from my mobileme account using their smtp server. Mobileme will not allow me to use my vanity address but I am happier having .mac in my return address than att or sbcglobal.

How can i get login details to a table?

i am using my sql data base.people who are visiing my web
site can log in to the sites restricted areas using their Usernames
and Passwords. (the login is based on the "Register" table in the
data base)
When somebody enteres the site using their Username and
Password, and inputs new data to anothertable (classified table),
How can the classified table get the login Username to one of its
columns. (automatically Username of the user is added to the table)
how can i do that. A coding for that would e perfect. please
help me. i would be really greatful to you.
thanks
sisira

Sisira,
When you add the record to your table, include the UserID as
one of the
values. Just assign the current Username to a variable and
include that in
your SQL statement. (How you do this will depend on the
scripting language
that you are using)
UserVariable = <set this from your login session>
INSERT INTO anothertable (Field1, Field2, Username)
VALUES (value1, value2, UserVariable)
Does this make sense? If not, send me your page and I'll have
a look at it.
Please Zip the file first.

How can I get Properties changed in a Table?

Hello!
I have a Table with a column that is editable (inputText). I need to now after click some Button if and which Rows (exactly the Entities behind) have been changed and show a "OkCancel"-popup. If the user says "OK" then the property should be updated in the database. If not nothing should occurs.
How can I do that? Does somebody knows some good tutorial where I can learn to do that?
Thanks in advance!

Take a look at this blog post & sample - where you could get the modified rows:

How can I get the new version of iTunes to work like the old one?

When I upgraded to iTunes 11, the next time I synched to my iPods etc, many, if not most, of the favorite podcaststhat I had saved in my library got deleted. We are a Mac family and three of us download different podcasts to three different computers. All our dealings (purchases) have been handled through a single Apple ID account.
Since the change to version 11, all the podcasts are jumbled together. I want to subscribe to different podcasts than my wife or son, but our different computers are being treated as one. I'll click to be a subscriber and my son will get the downloads, and vice versa. What a mess!
Is the registry of all three units to a single Apple ID the source of the problem?

When you say "not possible," I assume you mean I can't get it to look like the old version. When I wanted to update the different podcasts, I could hit refresh and select from those available. That seems off the table. And what's with the confusion between computers?

How can I get my app store and itunes to work in my iphone without dumping everything?

I have already dumped my phone twice to get itunes and the app store to work and it only lasts for a small time. I don't want to dump all my info again and then get everything back to what it should be just to have the stores go down again. Every time this happens some of my other apps don't work like they are suppose to work. When I try to ask for help from "professionals" I am treated like no one knows what I am talking about, but every other person I know that has an apple product is having the same issue. I don't know why it is not being fixed and why I am having to dump everything once or twice a week to keep my ipod and iphone working properly. You have to dump everything and not restore from back up to get it work. This is becoming completely unacceptable. If anyone knows any tricks at all please let me know. (And I have tried the deauthorizing and reauthorizing stuff... it will only let deauthorizing and will not let me sign back in) Thanks.
