Can Numbers 08 autofill an alphanumeric sequence?

In Excel I'd enter a column with PEF01, the next column with PEF02, select the two cells and drag down to PEFxx as far as I needed for an alphanumeric sequence.
I can get the plain numeric sequence in Numbers 08, but if it can do alphanumeric, I'm missing the trick. The HELP offered nothing. I tried both Automatic and Number for Cell Format.
Any detail I'm overlooking? Or is this very fundamental feature just not available in '08? If not, does '09 do it? Seems too obvious an operation to omit.
Thanks.

Numbers '09 does do it, '08 doesn't. The only limitation I found was that the "0" was dropped with 3-9. I suggest you download the iWork '09 trial & try it for yourself for 30 days. Who knows, by then the next version might be out.

Generate alphanumeric sequence using oracle sequence

Hi,
Can we generate alphanumeric sequence from Oracle sequence.
Sequence would be something like this. Please advice
TEMP-0001
TEMP-0002
TEMP-0010
Thanks,
Lak

hi,
You can try below procedure...
SQL> create sequence sec
2 minvalue 0
3 start with 001
4 increment by 1
5 nocache;
Sequence created.
SQL> select 'temp-'||to_char(sec.nextval) from dual;
'TEMP-'||TO_CHAR(SEC.NEXTVAL)
temp-1

Can Numbers Display Multiple Views of the Same Table

Hi,
Excel and Appleworks both have a pull down tab on the vertical bar allowing multiple views into the same spreadsheet (table). Can Numbers do this?
I have a set of calculations at the top of a spreadsheet that are based on years and years worth of data under the calculations (same column). I add data for each new event (the rows) and watch the calculations at the top of the data. Easy to do in Excel or Appleworks, but, I can't figure out how to do this in Numbers.
Example:
Spot1 Spot2
Total 15 36
Avg 5 12
Jan 09 5 10
Feb 09 6 20
Mar 09 4 6
Apr 09
So... does Numbers allow the view "split" or multiple views that Excel and Appleworks allow?
Thanks!
Tom

Question asked and responded several times:
feature unavailable.
For multiple views of a table there is an easy workaround as we may build a table whose every cells grab their contents from the 'master' one.
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, describe what you wish.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'10

Can we declare more than one sequence tags in a complex type?

Hi all,
Can we use more than one <sequence> tags in the xml schema?
<xs:complexType name="Demo">
<xs:sequence minoccurs = "1" maxoccurs = "1">
</xs:sequence>
<xs:sequence minoccurs = "0" maxoccurs = "1">
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>
If you observe the above sample xml there are two sequences in one complex type with different values for minoccurs and maxoccurs. Is this xml valid? why I need this is I have an
XML with lot of elements some of them should have minoccurs = "1" maxoccurs = "1" and some other should have the other combination of min and max attributes. I want to
declare it in the sequence rather than declaring beside each individual element. is that possible?
Thanks.

Hi,
Is this xml valid? No, a complexType expects only one child, but you can do this :
<xs:complexType name="Demo">
<xs:sequence>
    <xs:sequence minOccurs = "1" maxOccurs = "1">
    </xs:sequence>
    <xs:sequence minOccurs = "0" maxOccurs = "1">
    </xs:sequence>
</xs:sequence>
</xs:complexType>However...
XML with lot of elements some of them should have minoccurs = "1" maxoccurs = "1" and some other should have the other combination of min and max attributes.
I want to declare it in the sequence rather than declaring beside each individual element. is that possible?minOccurs and maxOccurs declared in the sequence apply to the sequence as a whole, not to its individual components.
For example :
<xs:schema xmlns:xs="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">
     <xs:complexType name="Demo">
          <xs:sequence>
               <xs:sequence maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="1">
                    <xs:element name="test1" type="xs:string"/>
                    <xs:element name="test2" type="xs:string"/>
               </xs:sequence>
               <xs:sequence maxOccurs="1" minOccurs="0">
                    <xs:element name="test3" type="xs:string"/>
                    <xs:element name="test4" type="xs:string"/>
               </xs:sequence>
          </xs:sequence>
     </xs:complexType>
     <xs:element name="root" type="Demo"/>
</xs:schema>What you expect will work for the first sequence of elements (test1 and test2) but anyway minOccurs and maxOccurs for elements default to 1, so why bother wrapping them in a sequence?
If I understand what you want correctly, it won't work for the second sequence.
For instance, this will be valid :
<root>
<test1/>
<test2/>
<test3/>
<test4/>
</root>but this will not :
<root>
<test1/>
<test2/>
<test3/>
</root>

HT1338 How can I sort folders in descending sequence

How can I sort folders in descending sequence?

There are two display options in the Finder, Arrangement and Sort. They are both under the same menu item/toolbar button. A regular click brings up the Arrangement menu. Holding down the option (alt) key brings up the Sort menu.
Except for Arrange by Name, all of the Arrangements are groupings. It groups the items by whatever criteria you chose. Within the groups, you can sort the items by other criteria.
If you arrange by Name, you can't sort by anything else.
Also, with an Arrangement set, you cannot adjust the sort direction.
To control the sort direction, set Arrangement to None, and sort by Name. Open the List view of that folder and click on the sort triangle in the column header.

Can Numbers be used as database for a collection?

Can Numbers be designed to make a database for a library of books? I have a large collection of old sheet music. The records would include keywords, comments, publication date, composer, illustrator, publisher, value, condition, purchase date -- and a scanned image of the cover artwork.

Hi Bonita,
I think you could use Numbers for your database. It doesn't work well as a container for graphics though. I would suggest that you keep your scanned artwork on a web service such as Dropbox so that you can record the URL in Numbers and keep the actual graphics storage on a server. The reason for this is that Numbers can't reference a file stored locally, and Numbers becomes sluggish if the graphics are stored within the document.
When you build a database in Numbers, each row is a "record", or separate item, and each column is an particular attribute; your keywords, comments, publication date, composer, illustrator, publisher, value, condition and purchase date.

Can I Replace an Imported Ppro Sequence?

I set all my chapter points for 2 sequences in Premiere Pro. Then in Encore I used Abobe Dynamic Link to import one sequence and built all my menus. Now I want to use all the same menus and links for the 2nd sequence, but when I select the old sequence in Encore, the "Replace Asset" option is grayed out.

Sneed,
I cannot recall which version of PrPro/Encore you are using. Is it CS4?
You can use ADL to choose other Sequences from the linked Project, so can bring in more than the initial one. Jeff Bellune just did a reply with the exact steps for CS4 & CS5. It was within the last 2 mos. here. As I am on an earlier version of each program, I do not use ADL. Also, I work in DD 5.1 SS Audio, so no ADL there, even if I had CS4, or CS5.
Good luck,
Hunt

Numbering: Import v Image v Sequence - How do these work? Can they be set to arbitrary start points?

I have been searching where ever I can but I can't seem to find a good explanation of the difference between "Import Number," "Image Number" and "Sequence Number."
In LR4 I was able to specify a start number for sequencing the image reference numbers.
I would like to be able to specify that start number and have LR remember where it left off for the next time I import so I have continuously increasing numbers across imports until the next time I need to reset.
Thanks for any information you can provide or links to the information.

OK. A simple experiment reveals:
Import# - Ever increasing number for each import. If this is used without another dynamic numbering (ie image#) it will append -# to the end of the filename. (ex. PHOTO001, PHOTO001-2, PHOTO001-3 etc.)
Image# - Ever increasing number for each image across imports (Half of what I was looking for)
Sequence# - Increasing number for each import. Resets to 0 each time.
The question still remains though.
Can the start points be manually set?
Thanks.

Alphanumeric sequence for RDA, PO and Receipts

Hi,
My customer ask to have a specific numeric sequence for all the RDA, PO and Receipt created in Oracle
The customer use Iproc to generate the RDA and needs to have a dedicated alphanumberic sequence, The same for the PO generated from the RDA and the same for the Receipts generated after the PO processed.
I saw that in PO I can create manual alphanumeric number, but I need to generate automatically.
Is there any workaround or customization that I can do to solve the issue?
Many thanks
Vins

Your question is not clear.
If you go to Purchasing > setup > organizations > purchasing options > numbering, you will see that you can setup the system to automatically generate the next number. A different sequence is used for RFQ, PO, Quote and Requisition.
Is that what you are looking for?

On my iMac my photos are in Pictures, not in iPhoto. They are numbered to keep them in sequence on my Imac, but they do not show in sequence on my AppleTV. How do I get them to show in sequence, (start of vacation to end of vacation) ? THANKS!

Hello Support Group!
All of my photos are in folders under the "Finder", "Favorites", "Pictures" category on my IMac. ( Mac OSX version 10.7.5) Each folder has sequentially numbered photos to keep them in order for viewing. For example, my folder titled " Travel - Hong Kong 2004" has 50 photos in it showing the trip from start to finish, each photo numbered 111, 112, 113, etc. I do not use any 0's, so the numerical sequence will go 118, 119, 121, 122. This process works well to keep the photos of my trip in sequence when I am looking at them on my IMac.
When I watch the same folder on my Apple TV the photos are displayed randomly. The Apple TV is instructed not to shuffle the photos on slideshow. Can anyone tell me how I can get my photos to show in sequence on Apple TV? My Apple TV is Model MC 572C/A and the software is 5.2.1 (6025) updated today. Thanks very much!
Doug May

I can't recall whether slideshows are ordered by title or date, but you can manually re-arrange the albums in iPhoto, then batch change them once you have the order you want.

Can numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and calls?

can phone numbers be blocked from receiving text messages and/or calls on IPhone?

You have to check with your carrier. I know Verizon you can log in and block calls.
You can not selectively do this on the phone.

Can Numbers put the dates (in a column) in order if I enter out of order

I am a procrastinator and I have lots of receipts to enter. If I enter with the dates out of order is there a way numbers can put in order for me.
Thank you

Robin,
When you hover your mouse over the column Label area of an active Table, a disclosure triangle appears. Clicking the triangle gives you a menu of column actions, including Sorting the column, either ascending or descending.
Sorting will put your dates in order. The prerequisite is that the dates you enter must be recognized as Date/Time values, not as Text. If you input your dates in a standard way for you region/language, they will normally be properly recognized. One way to test for this is to Select the Dates column and change the date format in the Cell Inspector. If you can freely change the format, for example from "1/1/15" to "January 1, 2015", the sort will be successful.
Regards,
Jerry
