Can conditional formatting refer to the value in another cell

Is there a way for conditional formatting refer to the value of another cell instead of entering the value in the conditional format box?

wwjd is right. no way of doing that.
WWJD, two wuestions:
1) do you have the new office 2008 for mac beta (is it out?), how close is it to the new features in Office 2007 for windows, if you do?
2) why do our pictures keep getting cut off after a day of posting. I posted a pic yesterday and its already not showing on the page the next day. Do they not load them after the question is marked as solved?
thanks,
Jason

  • How do I display an image in Numbers based on the value of another cell?

    Here is the situation. I have a list of names in one table. I then have a table of pictures of corresponding to each name. I then have a drop down list in a cell with each of the names in it. I would like to be able to click the drop down list, select a name, and then have the corresponding picture be displayed in a cell. How would I go about doing this?

  • How do I se a checkbox to change the value of another cell?

    I am trying to create a spreadsheet for a job quote sheet. In column A I am inserting checkboxes, in column W i have the price of that particular option that coincides with that product. What I am trying to accomplish is if I select the checkbox for an option, the cost (from column W) will jump in Column Z. Then Column Z will be totaled up at bottom, giving my client a total of everything selected. Can this be done and if it can HOW?!
    Thanks in Advance!!

    James,
    Another approach that may work for you would be to have a column for quantity, rather than a checkbox.  If the quantity is greater than zero, then enter the extended price and total it at the bottom of the order list.
    In that case, you would write in Z:
    =A*W
    With no quantity, the result would be zero in Z.

  • How do i use conditional formatting to edit the color of other selected other cells?

    I have been playing around with the conditional formatting feature of Numbers, I have figured out how to change font and background color of the cell i am working with.
    However what i am looking to do is apply a background color formatting to another cell (i.e. F2) if conditions are met in (B2).
    the end game is this,
    I want to make a column of check boxes, and using contional formating i want adject cells to change color (I.e. the example above: if (B2) is a check box, then when unchecked the reffered Cell (F2) does nothing, but when check the color of (F2) changes)
    I can make this happen with Logic equations, the give (i.e. F2) some letter or number value, then using conditional formats i can have the color change. but this leaves that particular cell useless to me (i.e. F2) I am not free to enter or edit text in that cell. (i.e. =IF(B2=TRUE,"Paid","Due") ----> then add a conditional statement that chages color when the value is either "Paid" or "Due")
    How do i have F2 change color, when B2 is checked and still retain the ability to enter information (or potential have another formula) in F2? (The Cell is not used up by "Paid" or  "Due" it is editable just like any other cell)
    is there anyway to change cell characteristics like font, color, and background color inside a formula, because in that way i would be able build it manually
    i tried using the formula editor inside the conditional format pane, but the only infor it will allow me to retain is one partictular cell. i cannot add modifiers like "+" or "=" or anything else. what is that space used for then?
    thanks for anyones help

    MC,
    You can do what you want in Numbers. It requires an auxiliary column and it's a bit tedious to set up because conditional formatting by comparison to another cell isn't relative, so each cell has to be programmed individually with no option to Paste or Fill to other cells in a range.
    For explanation purposes, let's say your checkbox is A2, your cell to be conditionally formatted is B2, and your auxiliary cell is  C2. To have the format of B2 determined by the checkbox status in A2, you will:
    1. In C2 write: =IF(A, B, " ") The " " is any string or value that you don't expect to encounter in B normally, and using the space character means you don't have to worry about having it visible if C is in View.
    2. In B2 use Conditional Format: "Equal To" cell C2 and set your text and fill attributes to be used when the box in A is checked.
    That's it. Do that for every cell in the range.

  • Deleting condition formats but saving the contents

    Hello all,
    I hope someone from Adobe is monitoring this list, as there is lots of stuff that requires either more work on the ExtendScript coding or on the documentation.
    I have almost finalized my conversion from unstructured FrameMaker documents with lots of conditional texts to structured FrameMaker, in which attributes take over the role of the conditions. I now want to delete the condition formats but keep the contents. This is possible via the menu: when I delete a condition format, I get a dialog that allows me to keep the content as unconditional text instead of throwing it out. Guess what ? The Delete() method for a CondFmt object does not take any arguments, and the default method is throwing out the content.
    I can do a TextSelection on everything in the document and apply unconditional formatting to it, but that does not include the text in tables. And it is a hassle, as there should really be a way to tell the Delete() method for CondFmt what to do with the content. The options in the dialog should be available via ExtendScript somehow.
    Thanks in advance for a quick reply. My deadline is approaching quickly !

    This problem has been driving me crazy for weeks, and I'm pleased to finally declare victory.
    The main snarl I ran into was the propVal.osval, which uses an (undocumented) array data type named Objects to hold the CondFmt objects, and it has no constructor, so it's not easy to reset. You can reset the isval all day long without effect, and building your TextPropVal from scratch has a nasty habit of crashing Frame. It's late here, so please excuse the uncommented code, but the following will make all text in your main flow unconditional, allowing you to delete your CondFmts without deleting the text.
    var findProps, foundRange, foundCond;
    var doc = app.ActiveDoc;
    var firstPgf = doc.MainFlowInDoc.FirstTextFrameInFlow.FirstPgf;
    var docStart = new TextLoc(firstPgf,0);
    var currCondFmt = doc.FirstCondFmtInDoc;
    var findProps = AllocatePropVals(1);
              findProps[0].propIdent.num = Constants.FS_FindCondTextInCondTags;
              findProps[0].propVal.valType = Constants.FT_Strings;
              findProps[0].propVal.ssval[0]= currCondFmt.Name;
    while (currCondFmt.ObjectValid()){
              foundRange = doc.Find (docStart, findProps);
                        while (foundRange.beg.obj.ObjectValid())
                        foundCond = doc.GetTextPropVal (foundRange.beg, Constants.FP_InCond);
                        foundCond.propVal.isval = new Ints();
                        while(foundCond.propVal.osval.length>0)
                                            foundCond.propVal.osval.pop();
                        doc.SetTextPropVal (foundRange, foundCond);
                        foundRange = doc.Find (docStart, findProps);
              currCondFmt = currCondFmt.NextCondFmtInDoc;
              findProps[0].propVal.ssval[0]= currCondFmt.Name;

  • Refer to the value

    Hi,
    How can I refer to the value of current commandLink selected, for the below codes, within the Java Bean?
    <h:panelGrid columns="3" id="pg1" >

    Use af:setPropertyListener and read the values in the managed bean as follows:
    <h:panelGrid columns="3" id="pg1" >
    <af:forEach var="row"
    items="#{bindings.JobCategoryView1.allRowsInRange}">

  • How can i copy and referencing the value of a sub-total of a category into another cell?

    How can i copy and referencing the value of a sub-total of a category into another cell?

    Cells in Category  rows 'exist' only when those categories are inserted using the Reorganize table. Those cells cannot be referenced from other cells.
    If you want a category summed, you will need to do that in a cell that is still visible when the table is not sorted into categorie using the Reorganize pane. The function to use is SUMIF. You can find information regarding SUMIF (and SUMIFS) in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Gude. The guide may be downloaded using the link in the Help menu in Numbers '09.

  • How to cell register the date/time when you put a value in another cell

    Hello guys!
    How do I get a cell (eg A2) tell the date and time when I put a value in another cell (eg A1) in Numbers?
    For example, I want to register a cell to read my electricity meter.
    I write in cell A1: 45809. When placing this value in A1, I want to appear (on A2) the date and time when I did that record automatically. Is it possible?
    I hope you understood the question!
    Thank you in advance to those who try to help.

    There is not automatic time stamping of on entry of a time.  One suggestion I've seen has a cell that has the current date and time.  Everytime you cahnge any cell that cell will update.  You can then copy that cell and paste the value into your date/time cell adjacent to the meter reading:
    Create a new, plain table:
    Now in cell A1 enter the formula "=now()"  short hand for this is:
    A1=now()
    now resize the table so it is a table that is 1 cell by 1 cell by selecting any cell, then dragging the table size control in the bottom right corrner towards cell A1:
    It should look like this when you have completed this task:
    Now create another new, plain table and enter "Date" for cell A1, and "Meter Reading" for B1:
    Now you can enter a meter reading (I entered "45671").  Now select the CELL that has current date and time from the first table at the very top, and copy:
    Now select the cell in the date column where you want to put the current date and paste values by using the menu item "Edit > Paste Value":

    I'm thinking that you'll need to look at the listData
    property. I'm not
    sure what you get in an OLAP Grid that orients you to your
    cell position,
    but I'd set a break point in the listData override of your
    renderer and see
    what you actually have, or look at the docs for the data type
    of the
    listData object that the default renderer expects to get.

  • Variable type Hierarchy, how to get the value from another similar variable

    Hi.
    We have created a variable, type hierarchy (using ORGEH hierarchy in HR based on 0ORGUNIT). Let's call this VAR1. We want to fill this with an User Exit, beacuse we want VAR1 to have the value from another variable, VAR2, which is also type hierarchy (and based on the same characteristic).
    However, when we program this user exit and use the VAR1 afterwards, it just behaves as if we have a single characteristic value and not a node value. As a result, we just get posts which do have the 'parent itself' as characteristic value, and none of the subnodes...  Any hints as to what we can do in our User exit to get the value passed over from VAR2 to VAR1 as a node value? Is there any spesific syntax to be used here that we are missing? ( The VAR1 and VAR2 are both defined as hierarchy variables, we have double checked...).

    Hi,
    are you on BI7.0? There you can create variables type replacement path and get the value out from a different variable without any coding.
    regards

  • Set the css style of text in a column according to the value of another col

    I'd like to set the css style of text in a column according to the value of another column. Each field may end up with a different style of text as a result, for instance.
    Any ideas? I looked thru the forums but couldn't find anything.

    Does the class=”t7Header” make it into the rendered HTML?
    ---The text "class="tHeader" does not show but the other text is rendered using the style t7Header as defined in the stylesheet! Exactly what I wanted.
    You might want to use a div or a span instead of a p.
    ---Yes -
    What's very cool is we can create a display column that is dynamically filled with the html and style wrappers based on a lookup to see what style should be applied according to the actual data value. This is critical as our tables are all dynamic so I can't depend on using the additional APEX methods to control the display of a column (as the # of columns in the view vary from instance to instance) and I did not want the display specs to muddy up my SQL queries.
    I wonder why this is not well documented. It is so easy!
    Thanks again for your help.

  • Copying the value from a cell in the SQL results?

    I run an sql query. The results are returned in a results window. I would like to copy the value from this cell
    and paste it into an sql query. How can I do this? I can copy and paste a value from a cell in the view of the data in
    a table, but not from the test results. How do I do this? Is there a setting I need to change?

    I usually do this kind of operations and I've never had any issues, the procedure is as simple as CTRL-C in the results grid, with the required column/columns selected and CTRL-V in the worksheet or anywhere else.
    If you still have issues please post your
    - SQLDeveloper version
    - Java Version
    - OS
    - Database Version
    and if you can a small test case.
