Can I have one cell in a table extending over more than one column?

I'd like to be able to have a table in which some cells extend over more than one column.
In Word, I can just delete the right hand cell border, and the cell automatically stretches over the next column.
(Pages 5.2.2.)
Thanks

Pages v5 is not an MS Word clone, and therefore, it doesn't matter what you did in Word. Select the adjacent table column cells, and then either two-finger tap, or right-click and choose merge cells from the contextual menu.

  • Pages:  How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

    How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?  I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table.  It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well.  I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

    Hi Peter,
    Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
    In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
    iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
    As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
    With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
    In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

I have set up one iCloud account and am attempting to share contacts between iMac, iCloud and Air, however iMac and iCloud are not in sync? I must be missing something very simple.

    ok.

Ultimately both me and my wife will have an iphone and we wish to share calenders and contacts. We both also use the imac and air on one user account.

  • Can users have one iTunes library deriving from two drives?

    Hi everyone,
    I keep my 4 & 5 star songs on my C drive and the rest (all stars, 1,2 3, etc.) on my exhternal hard drive.
    Whenever I want to listen to my music, all I can readily play are the tunes on my C drive.
    I'm guessing the issues having one library for tunes stored on separate drives is insurmountable?
    I say that because I'm guessing that my iPod (4th gen) is only capable of importing from one library?
    I think the biggest issue is either I don't know how to (or maybe users can't) list a second drive so that iTunes can load all songs from both drives whenever I do have the second drive up and running.
    Adding to the second drive library issue, I can't figure out how to permanently tag my external HD's (I've got 6) so that their drive letter is not automatically defaulting to their order of prescence.
    I can deal with that issue by simply not opening iTunes while I the second drive has been assigned a drive letter other than what iTunes (hopefully) is set to (i.e.; hopefully C and F drives).
    But can users have one iTunes library deriving from two drives?

    Seems I've over come what is something I'd hoped/expected iTunes would be capable of (ie; reinitiating the pathway for external HD music files when their drive letter is the only thing that changed).
    I tried the obvious by going to iTunes's Edit>Preferences>Advanced and clicking the change button for "iTunes Music folder location", then entered the current drive and pathway (as the drive is currently assigned, F as opposed to the original G) and of course iTunes still couldn;t find the missing tunes.
    Giving up on the hope that iTunes was designed smarter than it is (ie; each and every single missing tune req's manual redirection of pathway, as opposed to a preferable tick box for something like 'use the last redirected pathway').
    And I finally figured out how to properly changed drive letter assignments, but still uncertasin if that means permanently tags my EHD's with that drive letter.
    For that to be permanent, maybe I need to name each drive regardless that Windows already has unique inforamtion on each HD. Suppose I'll soon find out if the drive at this point has fianlly stored its drive name and whether or not Windows will contiue to change the EHD drive letters simply by the order which I am introducing them to the os.
    No real luck with rats nest USB hubs as they crash my os alot, so I'm left to trying to find an easy way of managing the EHD drive assignments. THe following is the closest I've yet to come to doing that:
    Click Start>Control Panel>Administrative Tools>Computer Management, and then in the left pane, under Storage, click Disk Management.
    Right-click the drive, partition, logical drive, or volume for which you want to assign a drive letter, and then click Change Drive Letter and Paths.
    Click Change.
    Click Assign the following drive letter (if it is not already selected), click the drive letter that you want to use, and then click OK.
    Click Yes when you are prompted to confirm the drive letter change.
    Again, too bad iTunes doesn't afford a 'find' feature for 'missing' files such that one might be afforded a tick box for 'do not prompt again, instead use the last indicated location for "iTunes Music" folder as the base storage location'.
    This drive renaming thing is a real hassle. Not like somebody couldn't have guessed it and Windows and/or iTunes can't afford some script, etc. to better manage 'tagging' EHD's and/or re-locating 'missing' tunes.
    But then what would we have to complain about, not that they listen anyway.

    Copy all the content on your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes. Then go ahead and sync the iPod with your new library.
    See this older post from another forum member Zevoneer covering the different methods and software available to assist you with the task of copying content from your iPod back to your PC and into iTunes.

  • Table referenced by more than one other table

    I'm no DBA so I was wondering if you could answer this fairly basic question. If I have a table that references more than 1 other table. For example Order links to a customer or Order can link to an Employee how would I represent that in the data model?
    I'm guessing I could have the Order table have both an Employee ID and a Customer ID columns and null one or the other out depending on whether it was linked to an Employee or Customer but that seems a bit redundant in that there would always be at least one column being null.
    Perhaps I could use table inheritance and just add the relevant foreign key col on the inherited tables but I'm fairly sure you can't have abstract tables.
    Thanks for the help.

    For example:
    table a = Primary_key1, col2, col3
    table b = Primary_key1, primary_key2, col3
    table c = Primary_key2, col2
    To join all this tables you must do something like this:
    select ....
    from tablea,tableb,tablec
    where tablea.Primary_key1=tableb.primary_key1 and
    tableb.Primary_key2=tablec.primary2;

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    This is another solution. Suppose your actual table's name is test(which has the redundant data). create a table like this:
    CREATE TABLE test2 (BUYER_ID number(10),PHONE_NUMBER varchar2(50),EMAIL varchar2(50),CURRENCY varchar2(50));
    then you will type this procedure:
    declare
    phone_number_v varchar2(50);
    EMAIL_v varchar2(50);
    CURRENCY_v varchar2(50);
    cursor my_test is select * from test;
    begin
    for my_test_curs in my_test loop
    select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO phone_number_v from test
    where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
    and attribute_name ='PHONE_NUMBER';
    select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO EMAIL_v from test
    where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
    and attribute_name ='EMAIL';
    select ATTRIBUTE_VALUE INTO CURRENCY_v from test
    where person_id=my_test_curs.person_id
    and attribute_name ='CURRENCY';
    INSERT INTO test2
    VALUES (my_test_curs.person_id,phone_number_v,EMAIL_v,CURRENCY_v);
    END LOOP;
    END;
    Then you will create your final table like this:
    create table final_table as select * from test2 where 1=2;
    After that write this code:
    INSERT ALL
    into final_table
    SELECT DISTINCT(BUYER_ID),PHONE_NUMBER,EMAIL,CURRENCY
    FROM TEST2;
    If you have a huge amount of data in your original table this solution may take a long time to do what you need.

  • Persisting CMP bean over more than one table

    Hello,
    I was wondering if it is possible to persist an Entity Bean over more than
    one table using CMP. For example 3 attributes go in table A and 2 attributes
    go in table B.
    I can see this might come in handy when having some kind of inheritance in
    your architecture.
    Thanks,
    Rein Reezigt

    CMP are based on one DB object however object could be a database table or a
    view. You can create a view and base your bean on that view. This is mostly
    useful for read-only entity beans that just do select queries because databases
    have all kind of different restrictions on update froma view, ( for example
    ORACLE allows update to only one table in view). However in case you need a
    logical abstraction of multiple tables, consider EJB2.0 relations or a product
    like toplink for your object to relational mapping.

  • How do I get to have more than 20 columns in a table in adobe form?

    I see that there is limitaion to not have more than 20 columns in my table in adobe form, Is there any way I can have more than 20 columns in a table in adobe form in landscape mode.

    Hi,
    That only relates to the Table Wizard. Once the table is placed on the page, you can add columns manually, from the menu or right-clicking on a column.
    You can also use fields within a repeating subform (instead of the table object).
    Good luck,

    I would like to know how can I modify one column of current and next record depending of some criteria using SQL2012?
    The criteria is:
    Type should always flow F->T
    if current abs(amount)> next abs(amount) then groupid = 'PD'
    if current abs(amount)< next abs(amount) then groupid = 'PI'
    there is no case when those amounts will be equals

    Any help will be really apreciated.

    I tried that and got this error
    'LAG' is not a recognized built-in function name.
    You said you were using SQL 2012, but apparently you are not. The LAG function was added in SQL 2012. This solution works on SQL 2005 and SQL 2008:

  • How can i join more than 20 tables which contains more than 5 lacks records

    how can i join more than 20 tables which contains more than 5 lacks records

    If you're trying to join 20 tables I would check:
    - Are all the joins necessary. It's easy sometimes to just join to another table because you're unsure as to whether it's required.
    - What sort of application is it? 20 joins seems a lot to me. Are you trying to achieve too much with one query? Is it possible to break the problem down?
    - If it is necessary to join so many tables then force the use of hash joins in the query, especially if you're processing a lot of data and want the best throughput. If you want a quicker response, this will not be a appropriate.
