Can a formula produced Cell identity ever be used to extract the contents of the cell ?

1)  Does anyone know if the contents of a cell whos address is obtained with    ' ADDRESS(ROW(),3,4) '    can be placed in another cell ?
I have only been able to use it as a reference such as:-   =IF((ROW()-2)>(ADDRESS(ROW(),3,4)),"Y","N")   This uses the content of column C on the same row as the function, and compares to a row number 2 rows further up;  (ROW()-2)   but you can't seem to obtain or place the content in another cell. like you can with   =C5.
2)  Does anyone know how to locate the row/cell in a column range, say, D2:D8 that is empty or has a specified value ?
The idea is to determin    1) if a a row has been added and, because any cells in that row will be empty,   2)  locate the row.
I realise that both solutions are not necessary for the obove but, they would be useful for other uses if they can be done.

Hi Skip,
Ithink you may have hit the nail on the head with "My problem is I am too impatient."
Earlier you wrote:
"What I want to do is locate the row, tag it onto the known column ID  "C"  and then copy the content of that cell into another cell. What I can't get the software to do is put the "C" together with a figure derived by formula and then get the software to recognise it as a cell reference."
And continued:
"I can copy the content of say  D6 into another cell using =D6.
"If I put together "D" and a number derived by software to get D6 it will not work even though it looks the same. I can get a lagitimate D6 but I think it is all a string, not a string+ number."
'I even tried CONCATINATION but it wont  accept a figure. It seem to thwart all attepts. most annoying."
Badunit replied:
"=INDIRECT("C5") will give the same answer as =C5"
To which you replied:
"Appreciate you taking the time to answer but no, it was the software composed "C5" that was giving the problem. You don't seem to be able to use it if used indirectly. sorry no connection with INDIRECT, intended."
Breaking that down, using the C5 example:
You have the text string "C"
You have, using a formula, determined the row number 5.
You want to get the content of cell C5
Use CONCATENATE to build the text string "C5"
Use that text string "C5" as the argument for INDIRECT
Your formula will be =INDIRECT(CONCATENATE("C",sum(2,3)))
with 'sum(2,3)' replaced by the formula you are using to determine the row number needed for the cell reference.
Example follows.

Barry

    If you have Pages you can create customs pages for your book as TD suggested. If you have Pages from iWork 09 or 11 this app will add 80 or so additional frames to those offered:  Frames and Strokes Installer. Don't use it on the latest Pages version, however.
    This tutorial shows how to create a custom page with the theme's background: iP11 - Creating a Custom Page, with the Theme's Background for an iPhoto Book.  Once the page is complete to get it into iPhoto as a jpeg file follow these steps:
    Here's how to get any file into iPhoto as a jpeg file:
    1 - open the file in any application that will open it.
    2 - type Command+P to start the print process.
    3  - click on the PDF button and select "Save PDF to iPhoto".
    NOTE:  If you don't have any of those options go to Toad's Cellar and download these two files:
    Save PDF to iPhoto 200 DPI.workflow.zip
    Save PDF to iPhoto 300 DPI.workflow.zip
    Unzip the files and place in the HD/Library/PDF Services folder and reboot.
    4 - select either of the files above (300 dip is used for photos to be included in a book that will be ordered).
    5 - in the window that comes up enter an album name or select an existing album and hit the Continue button.
    That will create a 200 or 300 dpi jpeg file of the item being printed and import it into iPhoto. For books to be printed choose 300 dpi.

  • Keynote (6.2) file won't open. Can I make a new Index.zip file using some of the extracted .iwa files?

    Keynote (6.2) file won't open (hung and crashed during auto-OS update).  Trying to salvage everything possible.  I know about grabbing the pictures from Data folder, but is there a way to extract the good .iwa files and make a new Index.zip? 
    Tried extracting, capturing uncorrupted .iwa and deleting corrupted ones, but can't figure out how to re-compress to readable format for Keynote.  Seems silly that I can't ge the new .zip file to work.  There has to be some sort of manual work-around, yeah?
    Thanks.

    This problem has been reported to the AppleWorks team, but I doubt that we will ever hear if there is a fix. AppleWorks 6 is now nearly 6 years old & hasn't even had an update since March, 2004.
    Nothing has been found to be able to make AppleWorks 6.2.9 open the problem files. I've had it happen & not happen with all AppleWorks file types. These files can be opened by any other version of AppleWorks 6, including the OS 8/9 component 6.2.8. If you have the retail version of AppleWorks & have Classic installed, you can "Force" AppleWorks 6 to open in Classic to open the files, save them as AW 6 files & then open them in the OS X version. You do want to make sure you don't have both the Classic & OS X versions of AppleWorks 6 running at the same time. I find it much easier to use AppleWorks 5 in Classic to open & save the files. AppleWorks 6.2.9 has no problem opening AppleWorks 5 files.

  • Please can someone advise; Can I connect my 'Focusrite Saffire' audio interface using Garageband as the sequencer? Necessary as a consequence of 'Cubase LE' being incompatible with OS Lion

    Warmly appreciated

    Not sure I understand what you want to do, but
    • your interface should work with GB if it works with Lion at all
    • you can't use GB as a sequencer driving other sound units via midi since GB doesn't send midi signals out, it only receives.

  • Can I buy an unlocked UK iPhone and use it in the UAE (Dubai) without further changes?

    Appreciate help / guidance. 
    Just moved to Dubai from States.  Unlocked my AT&T iPhone once here to get it to work locally.  But apparently to make this workable, I need to go back to an old iOS version and not upgrade.
    I'd love an iPhone 4S, and am travelling soon back to the UK.  Does anyone know if I can buy an unlocked (SIM-free) phone in the UK and bring it over here, buy a local SIM card, and away I go?
    Appreciate your thoughts.

    If the iPhone you buy is truly factory unlocked (available only from Apple Stores in the UK), then it should work with any carrier that has a compatible service.
    Note that you would not be able to get service for a UK-sold iPhone in the UAE, should service be necessary. You'd have to take or ship the iPhone to someone the UK or in another EU country to take or send in for service. Just FYI.

  • Folio producer tools update required to use folio builder but content viewer app not available

    Hi,
    I have a problem with DPS Folio Producer tools.
    We are unable to use Folio Builder to update our iPad presentation to the cloud because we keep getting this message: An update is required to use Folio Builder. Please click here to download Folio Producer Tools.
    We have previously done this only to discover that the new version of Folio Producer Tools is incompatible with the Content Viewer and the new Content Viewer app is not yet approved, or available from Apple.
    So we have done a rollback to a previous version of the Folio Producer Tools which worked for a few hours, but is now prompting for the update again - but as explained above we cannot download the update until the Content Viewer app is available.
    HELPPPPPPP!!!

    This is the DPS model.
    When a company thinks first about monetizing solutions instead of making it an extra option.
    You are not free anymore to use the tools you want, you must follow Adobe's decisions to update online apps.
    Online apps are everything but good.
    You will have to wait until the Viewer gets approved by Apple.
    Dear Adobe: do you see how many people come here because they don't understand how your technical model works?

    Hotmail won't open attachments when using Firefox. I'm not sure if this relates to cookies, add ons (I recently addded Ad-blocker and Do not track), or some other type of security setting. I have tried some proposed solutions on the we to no avail. Using Windows 7

    Tyler,
    Thanks for your suggestion. My problem occurs when trying to open any type of file (at least .doc and .pdf, as far as I know). As I mentioned, when I log into hotmail from another browser, I am then able to open my attachments. I am hoping to figure out how to tinker with firefox so I no longer have this issue. I am not sure what is causing this block, but I know it has to do with Firefox (or settings relating to) or related add ons.

  • Can anyone answer this question? What is used to format a string so that it falls into a certain Row/Column in excel? see text for indepth question.

    I'm attaching a file that may help. Just remember this is my FIRST attempt at using NI/FeildPoint so things that would be obvious to the normal users more than likely would slide right by me. So I'll try and explain what the text contains as to make my problem more clear. I'm using a FP-1000, FP-AI-100, and a FP-TB-10. i'm creating a application where I'm using the 8 channels from the FP-AI-100 to monitor a control system ,that we manufacture. The control system is in an environmental chamber. I use the FP-TB-10 to monitor the temperature while in the chamber. The control system is ran for 4 hours under varing enviromental conditions while I monitor vital system voltages with the FP-AI-100. Now the application that i'm building starts with the obvious FP CREATE.VI and so forth I have no problem communicating with the FP's, but the information that I'm monitioring needs to be placed into a file with Headers describing the information below it. Now I use a "WHILE LOOP.VI" to monitor the FP-AI-100 & FP-TB-10 for the 4 hour period. but before that I create and open a file where I use a "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" to enter the headers I need. I do this by CONSTANTS, CONTROLS, TABs, AND CARRIAGE RETURN being entered into the "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" in the order I want them to appear. I use ROW 1 to enter (OPERATOR:with a CONSTANT) an a (CONTROL so the operator may enter his name and be recorded into the file) using a TAB to seperate Columns and a CARRIAGE RETURNto drop down to ROW 2 for the next headers. I use header names and TABs to seperate the columns. This part works great. I end up with ROW 1 having the operator information then ROW 2 having the headers for all the channels I'm using to monitor the control system with in their own column. The trouble happens when I write to this file during the "WHILE LOOP". The information recorded for DATE:, TIME:, and Channel 0 of the FP-AI-100 end up right under their corresponding header on ROW 3, but the rest of the data ends up on ROW 4 in column 3 and goes down many rows with some of the data not being stored at all. It varies on how many rows are used starting at ROW 4 but hey always stay in column 3. I use the "FP READ.VI" outputing to a "ARRAY TO SPREADSHEET STRING.VI" outputing to a "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" for each channel within the "WHILE LOOP" then into the "WRITE.VI". I use the "CONCATENATE STRINGS.VI" to place my data OR atleast I thought you could do that some how I'm not quit doing something write either there is a sampling/timing issue or writing to file issue where things are being confused in the "WHILE LOOP" if someone know a better route to perform what I'm tring here I would be interested. Its not like I'm not giving it the old colledge try here but without proper training and the vagness of the manuals it's difficult to understand what every connection actually does.I'm tring though for everyone who happens to fill pity for me
    Thanks for your help

    Allmost right. The 8 channels come out as 1D-array, ch0...ch7.

    > ...cut
    I don't use this Spreadsheet VI, because files coming out there allways
    start this time consuming EXCEL wizzard. Because of this, I programmed my
    own CSV-conversion vi. Maybe you could just use a common texteditor, like
    wordpad and put the csv-examples from my last reply down to a text file
    and rename it to *.csv. Texteditors terminate lines with "\r\n" by
    default, so this is a very quick way for testing.
    > FP_Analog_Logging example to record all eight channels it uses a Array
    I didn't find the vi you metione above, but there is another good one:
    Look at examples\FieldPoint\DataLogging\FP Logger.vi.
    In a little case structure, at "false", there is a function called "Format
    into string".
    Pop up on the format string and adjust >>'\' Codes Display<<.
    Then you change the format string into: %.;%-f%s
    A Tab string is connected to the lower input of this function. Replace
    this one with a comma.
    That should do.

    Yes, just as explained above. If you put a indicator at the output to
    display the values, you can expand the display to show all 8 channels, but
    you can't name induvidual cells. In a array, all cells have identical
    named labels. If you want to name the individually, you have to attach the
    array to cluster function and put the indicator after this one. Enable
    labe display and name the output values individually.

    Well, modifying strings are done with string functions.
    Above, as I explained how the sample FP Logger.vi can be modified to do
    the job for numbers. The pre- and suffixing with ", you only need for
    strings, which EXCEL should interpret a string and as nothing else as a
    string, even if there's a number inside. You usually need this only for
    headers. So its easyest, if you just write your string into a string
    constant or control and concatenate it to the previous csv-file contents.
    Oh, I just see by looking at the above mentioned example... Inside the
    case structure, but in the "true" case, there are error messages
    concatenated to the logfile. At this point it is importent, to use " for
    integrating the message into the CSV file, because a error message usually
    looks like this: >> ERROR 2345 in vi yxz <<
    Here you have text and number strings mixed in one line. EXCEL does not
    know, if it should interpret the number inside the error line as separate
    number, separating the line into three colums i.e. string before number,
    number and string after number. So tell EXCEL by putting a " before and
    after the line each.
    For this, expand the Format To String function by one input, move down all
    connections, to be able to insert a string constant with a " to the first
    argument connector. Change the contents of the string constant at the
    bottom argument from tab to ", (quotation mark AND comma)
    > #5 You gave me an example of what a 3 column header could look like:
    > "col0","col1","col2"\r\n Now is this something that you enter

    The example I mentioned above help here to.
    Look at the Write File function. This function receves data from a
    function named concatenate strings. Expand this function to have one more
    spare input at the bottom. Create a string constant. Switch the constant
    display to "\" mode. Enter "col0","col1","col2"\r\n into the constant.
    Connect the constant to the spare input.
    Doing this, every dataline in the csv file is followed by
    "col0","col1","col2"\r\n .
    I wish you a nice weekend,

  • How can I possibly get a hold with an actual person on the phone??? It's emergency!!!!!!

    Hello,
    I have been trying to talk to someone at the customer service for the last 3 months but no one never ever picked up my phone!!!
    How can this even possible?
    I've been using verizon for the last 4 years!!!
    I just moved out from the State and need to cancel my contract. That's why I've been trying so hard to talk to someone at the customer service.
    I went to a local store but they all told me that I need to call *611 (which no one ever answers... ) to cancel my contract.
    Why can't you guys just make this all easy and let local store do this job? It's such an easy job to cancel the contract and let me pay for the remaining fee.
    I wanted to cancel the contract since last MAY but unfortunately, I could not cancel it still and had to pay for my balance for nothing. It's not just couple cents. It was way over $100.
    I am getting really frustrated! LiveChat function never works too. It's never on even during working hour. What happened?
    Customer pays pretty high for Verizon's service compare to other mobile carriers. I should get a better customer service.
    Can someone PLEASE contact me and solve this problem before I get to the point where I need to pay EXTRA???
    Please email me (reply me back to my email please) and let me know what I can do and how I can talk to a real person at the customer service.
    Thank you for your time and help.
    Have a wonderful day.
    -Jiyoon-

    You have two ways to do this.
    Bring a copy of your last bill with your account number to a Verizon wireless corporate store (not a reseller )
    Tell them to close your account and get a copy of the transaction.
    However if done this way, you lose your cell number and access to the online portal. Verizon will mail you a final invoice.
    Or if you want service from AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile they need your cell number, the pin number for your account and your account number from your invoice. They will port you over to their service, you keep the cell number and Verizon will send you a final invoice.
    This porting process can be done for prepaid services if that is what you want to do.
    You can call 1-800-922-0204 press option 4 then keep saying agent.
    And you can cancel that way.
    Good Luck
