Can numbers open and view excel files with filters applied?

Hi - I don't currently have iWork but was considering purchasing it.  I frequently get sent excel files from work (which I view on my iPad 3) that have got filters in the column headings applied and I need to be able to change the dropdown values in the headings to see different cuts of the data in the spreadsheet.  Does anyone know if the current version of Numbers allows users to do this?

Numbers has a row filtering feature, but it doesn't involve the Header or any dropdown menus. In Numbers row filtering is controlled from the Reorganize Panel which is activated from the Toolbar. Given this, I don't think an imported Excel document will have the filtering feature active. Hopefully someone who uses both Execl and Numbers will weigh in.

  • Open a url and view the files with it's timestamp

    Hi guys,
    I need to create a flow service in SAP BC to connect to a server by it's url and display it's files with it's timestamps.
    I have never done this b4, and usinf SAP BC makes it harder for me.. Mostly I need to know how to access the server and view the files with their timestamp.
    Any guidance for me will be much appreciated.
    Thank u.

    Yes,
    It's like this. I will connect to an FTP server. Then I need to view the files it the server or folder i specify with their respective timestamps.
    I am using SAP BC and it's webMethods to create the JAVA flow service. I am only now familiarising myself with SAP BC.
    Moreover I have never done a coding to access a server and list it's file. I can do it o view in a local directory using JFrame aand stuff... But SAP BC doesn't support those..
    So If u can give me some guidelines to follow.. i would appreciate it.
    Here's what i have come up with so far
    public static final void ReadFileServer( IData pipeline ) throws ServiceException
    //define input variables
         IDataCursor idcPipeline = pipeline.getCursor();
         String path = null;
         path = (String)idcPipeline.getValue();
         // Check if url is in the pipeline
         if (idcPipeline.first("path"))
              File dir = new File(path);
              String filesFound[]=dir.list();
              long [] age;
              age = new long[filesFound.length];
              for (int i = 0; i < filesFound.length; i++)
                   age = new File(filesFound).lastModified();
              String temp = "";
              for (int i = 0; i < age.length - 1; i++)
                   for(int k = i+1; k < age.length ; k++)
                        if (age > age [k])
                        temp = filesFound;
                        filesFound = filesFound[k];
                        filesFound[k] = temp;
              for (int i = 0; i < filesFound.length; i++)
              //get url out of the pipeline
              path = (String)idcPipeline.getValue();
              //insert the FILES into the pipeline
              idcPipeline.insertAfter("filesFound", filesFound);
              idcPipeline.insertAfter("age", age);
         //If it is not in the pipeline ERROR
         else
         age = "False";
         idcPipeline.insertAfter("path", path);
         //insert the successFlag into the pipeline
         idcPipeline.insertAfter("age", age);
         //Always destroy cursors that you created
         idcPipeline.destroy();

  • Which lib to open and view office file on browser

    Hi all,
    when I receive a stream of file from server. How I can open and view this file on browser?
    My suggest: catch a stream and use library to open office file on browser, but I don't know which lib to do this.
    Thanks

    I'm confused, you're coding for the server-side, with JSP/servlets aren't you? So how can you intercept the stream at the browser? That'll be beyond your code.
    And anyway, if you set the MIME types and set the content for the response, the browser itself will decide and prompt the user for handling the file.
    If on the other hand, you want to open a file on the server and send the contents of that to the browser, you can look into Apache POI (http://poi.apache.org/) for handling Excel, Word and PowerPoint documents.

    and the readme file.
    2. Create a form with a block Eg. DEPT
    3. Create a button, and in that button put the following code -
    DECLARE
    application Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
    workbooks Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
    workbook Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
    worksheets Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
    worksheet Client_OLE2.Obj_Type;
    args Client_OLE2.List_Type;
    cell ole2.Obj_Type;
    j INTEGER;
    k INTEGER;
    BEGIN
    application := Client_OLE2.create_obj('Excel.Application');
    workbooks := Client_OLE2.Get_Obj_Property(application, 'Workbooks');
    workbook := Client_OLE2.Invoke_Obj(workbooks, 'Add');
    worksheets := Client_OLE2.Get_Obj_Property(workbook, 'Worksheets');
    worksheet := Client_OLE2.Invoke_Obj(worksheets, 'Add');
    go_block('dept');
    first_record;
    j:=1;
    k:=1;
    while :system.last_record = 'FALSE'
    loop
    for k in 1..3 /* DEPT has 3 columns */
    loop
    If not name_in(:system.cursor_item) is NULL Then
    args:=Client_OLE2.create_arglist;
    Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, j);
    Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, k);
    cell:=Client_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet, 'Cells', args);
    Client_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
    Client_OLE2.set_property(cell, 'Value', name_in(:system.cursor_item));
    Client_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
    End If;
    next_item;
    end loop;
    j:=j+1;
    next_record;
    end loop;
    /* For the last record */
    for k in 1..3
    loop
    If not name_in(:system.cursor_item) is NULL Then
    args:=Client_OLE2.create_arglist;
    Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, j);
    Client_OLE2.add_arg(args, k);
    cell:=Client_OLE2.get_obj_property(worksheet, 'Cells', args);
    Client_OLE2.destroy_arglist(args);
    Client_OLE2.set_property(cell, 'Value', name_in(:system.cursor_item));
    Client_OLE2.release_obj(cell);
    End If;
    next_item;
    end loop;
    Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(worksheet);
    Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(worksheets);
    /* Save the Excel file created */
    args := Client_OLE2.Create_Arglist;
    Client_OLE2.Add_Arg(args,'d:\test.xls');
    Client_OLE2.Invoke(workbook, 'SaveAs', args);
    Client_OLE2.Destroy_Arglist(args);
    /* release workbook */
    Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(workbook);
    Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(workbooks);
    /* Release application */
    Client_OLE2.Invoke(application, 'Quit');
    Client_OLE2.Release_Obj(application);
    END;
    4. Save the form and compile it.
    5. Run the form.
    6. Execute the query in the block.
    7. Click on the button.
    8. An excel file will be created in the d:\ directory by the name test.xls.
    Kind regards,
    Alex

  • On iPad can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages app?

    On iPad, can I open a Microsoft word file with apple pages application?  If so how do I perform this activity?

    Yes you can open Word files. If it is an email attachment you can simply tap and hold down on the icon and select "open in" and then select Pages - as long as you have the Pages app on the iPad.
    Where is the file on your iPad or how do you want to move it to the iPad?

    How can I download and view a pdf with iphone?

    If the PDF is an email attachment, you can view it by tapping on the attachment icon while you are viewing the email message. Another option is to set up a dropbox account and then use a computer to drop the PDF into your account. Install the iOS dropbox app and you can view PDFs there that way.

  • How can I make waveform graph and/or excel file with two different dynamic DBL values?

    As the question describes, I have two dbl sources from a load cell and linear actuator (from firgelli). I want to make a load/displacement curve from the force readings from the load cell and the displacement readings from the linear actuator. The load cell outputs an analog signal that can be acquired by a DAQ and the actuator comes in with a board and VI program to control the speed and measure the displacement of the actuator to a sample rate of my choosing. Is there a way that I can make a VI where it continues to collect data and construct the graph I'm looking for?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    A couple points about your application:
    1.  Synchronization.  Since you're ultimate goal is a stress/strain curve, it is vital that your force and displacement data be synchronized appropriately.  If your sampling is beyond a few times a second, this is not really possible without some form of hardware synchronization via either a trigger and/or sample clock.  Two NI DAQ boards can be synchronized this way easily, but it seems you're using 3rd party hardware for one of these processes.  Would need to know more about that board to know what options you have.  You could specify what your resolution is in distance, and how fast the article will be moving, to get an idea of how fast to acquire, and how well you'll need to synchronize the data.  Another option, since it appears each data stream will be sampled on a hardware-timed sample clock, they will be offset in time, but not skewed during the acquisition.  You may be able to identify a feature in the data set common to each and use that to remove the timing offset after the process is completed.
    2.  Display.  To display data during the acquisition process, I usually recommend at least one display that plots vs. time.  Much easier to spot irregularities with the acquisition process that way.  However, if you'd like to also plot force vs. displacement, you can use an XY Graph to plot parametrically. For Example, in your case you would use the Displacement data as the X coordinates, and the Force data as the Y coordinates.
    3.  Saving data to file.  I would recommend using the Save to Spreadsheet File.vi (File IO pallette) to save your data.  If you use a comma as the delimiter, and save the file with a *.csv extension, you will have a file that is easily read into excel.  The standard tab-delimited spreadsheet file is also fine, it will just require an extra step to read it into excel to specify to excel what the delimiter is.
    4.  Batch vs. Real-Time Recording (Data File).  If your process is short (< 30 sec) you may be better off acquiring the data, Storing it locally to the VI (Array - usually maintained in a shift register), and then writing the file with a header (acquisition parameters, test article information, data column headers) and the data all at once in batch mode to the file after the process is finished.  If, however, it is longer than that you would be better off starting a data file with a header and appending the data to the file as you go, so that if something happens during your test, you at least have data up to that point.
    Hope this Helps,
    Kurt

    How do I open and view my I cloud

    You can't view your iCloud on your iPad with Safari. You can on a computer by going to http://www.icloud.com.
    If you use a browser like iCab which can change its browser ID from Mobile Safari to Safari 6 (Mac) then you can use the iPad.

  • Can I open Indesign 2.0 files with cs6 or the newest version of cc?

    I want to buy either cs6 or the newest version of cc.  I just need to know if I can open InDesign 2.0 files with either of these newer versions?

    In theory, yes, but it's hard to predict what's going to happen with that big a gap in versions. I suggest you download a trial and give it a test, and if the file opens, the very first thing you should do is save as .idml. then open that and save as a new .indd without overwriting the original.

  • Why does Apple say that Numbers can open and save Excel files, when in actuality, it can only open .XLSX files and only Export to Excel (not save-as excel)?

    When attempting to open .XLS files in Numbers, the format is not recognized. When the format is .XLSX, the format is recognized. Why is it this way? It's still much more common for folks to have the .XLS file format on their excel files. Why would Numbers not be backwards-compatible?
    Additionally, to state in the benefits of this program that one can save to 'Excel' is a little misleading. You can't save to anything except .numbers. Sure, you can export to Excel (with file extension .XLS, I might add), but you can't save or save-as.
    Does anyone else see the irony in being able to export to .XLS but not be able to open an .XLS?
    There is something to be said for clarity.
    You can't expect folks to have Numbers and Excel on their systems, so how else are they supposed to open .XLS files in Numbers?
    And I don't need to see another advertisement for NeoOffice or OpenOffice here, thanks. I'd actually like Numbers to be a little more sensible.
    That is all.

    When the advertisements were written, there was no Lion so we were able to Save As Excel.
    At thiqs time there is no longer Save As command under Lion but the feature is always available.
    When your editing task is ended, you are free to use this scheme:
    File > Duplicate
    File > Save and in the dialog you will have the option save as Excel.
    Numbers isn't and I hope that it will not become an Excel editor.
    Its resources contain a flag defining it this way.
    I posted several times a script editing this resource.

  • I can't open and view files on my macbook

    Hi again,   I have already tried this and it did not work for me......
    OS X Lion: If you don’t have the correct permissions to open a file or folder
    If you don’t have permission to open open a file or folder, you may be able to change the permission settings (”privileges”).
    Select the item and choose File > Get Info.
    Click the triangle next to Sharing & Permissions to expand the section.
    Open the pop-up menu next to your user name to see the permissions settings. If you are not logged in as an administrator, you may need to click the lock icon and type an administrator name and password. If you’re the only user of your computer, you are the administrator. If the setting for your account is No Access, you can’t open the item.
    If you can’t change the permissions, contact an administrator of your computer or the owner of the file or folder.
    If necessary, you can use Disk Utility to repair permissions on your disk.
            I have not changed anything on my computer which is a macbook pro OS X 10.7.4    so this is confusing to me.. If you can help with an easy fix, please let me know.   Thanks!

    I would agree with the other poster....you're probably talking about WMV files. Those are the typical standard from PC. Just grab the free Flip4Mac player. If you need to convert them to mov, for some reason, you'd have to pay for the upgraded version.
