Can you freeze cells in Numbers?

Good evening,
As a Numbers user, having switched from Excel, is there any way in Numbers to do a "freeze panes" functionality like Excel has? I want to navigate around a sheet with out having the header row and first column moving. I have looked all over and can not find it, am I just missing it?
Thank you very much for your assistance.
Larry

Please, don't fight each other for a vocabulary problem.
Re reading the original question I feel that the OP
(1) used wrongly the 'freeze pane' formula
(2) wrote "with out having the header row and first column moving." to mean what we describe by " without having the header row and header column moving".
I am accustomed to wrong wording in questions

Can you freeze panes?

In Excel, you can apply "freeze/unfreeze panes" so that certain rows and/or columns will always appear as you scroll through a sheet. Can you do this in Numbers? There is no such option in any of the menus and I couldn't find anything about this in the manual. Any ideas from anyone?

Can't be done. Just like all the other Cocoa based spreadsheets such as Tables and Mesa.
Why???? Who knows. Such a basic everyday simple feature missing is a mystery...esp after 3 years of development... truly a shame. No serious user will be able to work with this product as is.
Best to use Neo Office. Faster and more stable than Excel
Also, as mentioned throughout this forum, Numbers is unbelievably slow. I'm running a MBP 2.33 Core 2 Duo with 2 gigs of ram. Just don't have time to wait for the spinning beach ball every 2-3 seconds...even when trying simple tasks.
Hopefully updates on their way.

CAN YOU FREEZE MORE THAN 5 HEADER COLUMNS ?

Can you freeze more than 5 header columns and header rows?

Mike,
According to Numbers '09 User Guide, Chapter 3, Adding Table Header Rows or Header Columns the maximum number of Headers is 5.

Can you freeze a frame in motion?

Can you freeze a frame in motion so that I can use it FCP?

just as an add on the shortcut is Shift+N if you are going to use it alot. Also, when you make the freeze frame, the default duration will be whatever you have specified in your "User Preferences" Window under the "Editing" tab. I think 2 or 3 seconds is the default. If you're doing this alot you might want to be aware that you can change the setting so you don't have to fuss with trimming or expanding each freeze frame.

Can you freeze your account when you are overseas?

I do a fair amount of travelling and I may be living abroad for a undetermined amount of time. I know in the past Verizon could temporarily freeze your account and you would pick up your contract where you left off once you turned it back on. My questions are:
How do you freeze your account?
Is there a limit on how long you can keep your account frozen?
Is there any fee whatsoever for freezing your account?
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm really trying to figure this out.

Is there a limit on how long you can keep your account frozen? Two, 3 month terms You must contact again after 3 months to continue
Is there any fee whatsoever for freezing your account? None I am aware of but read below
Thanks in advance for the help. I'm really trying to figure this out.
When you suspend your account, you will still be billed if you do not specify, suspend WITHOUT billing. Without billing your contract simply gets extended the amount of time the account is suspended.
Hope this helps

Can you freeze frame with the imovie app. and save the freeze frame to a picture

Can I freeze frame on the iMovie app and turn the freeze frame into a picture?

Experiencing the same issue. Fired up iMovie for the first time today and created 2 movies. The first was 35 seconds long and the 2nd was 1 min 45 seconds long. Got all my pics loaded up and added a song from my personal collection. Plays perfectly from the phone. The problem occured when I tried to export the larger movie. The first time I tried, it sat at the exporting movie status bar (without moving) and then closed the app. After relaunching the app, it told me that my audio file had been removed from the phone. After closing and re-opening the iMovie app again, my movie project played fine through the app but as soon as I tried to export again it rebooted my phone. I tried exporting on all 3 size options (Medium, Large, HD) and it did not matter. I tried multiple songs thinking perhaps that was my issue, but each one did the same thing. I tried the lock-screen time-out fix but that didn't help either. I have no problems exporting my smaller movie file (35 seconds)using any of the export sizes. This leads me to believe that the issue is soley related to the length of the project...or perhaps the number objects located in the project. In either case, it's definitely an app issue. I do love the app though...when it works.

Can you protect cell contents? Say, if I have this great formula I don't want changed.

I have multiple spreadsheets that I use formulas in. MOST of them were created in Excel, and I"m migrating over.
In Excel, I could lock a cell from being changed. Can the same thing be accomplished in Numbers?
Thanks!

Now, how do we get Apple to add this feature?
No guarantee because happily, the list of feature is defined by Apple, not by us. In the other case, the result is the awful gas factory named Excel.

How can I split cells in Numbers 3.0.1

I cannot find the cell split option on the latest version on Numbers - can anyone point me in the right direction - thank you

Hi Nick,
Got it. The purer "spreadsheet way" to avoid duplication of data would be to record commissions in a separate table, and extract the sums corresponding to each "heading" with a formula, something like this:
The formula in D2, copy pasted down, is:
=SUMIF(Commissions::$A,$A2,Commissions::$C)
This says, add up everything in column C of the Commissions table where the value in column A of the Commissions table is the same as the value in column A of this row.
This takes a one-time setup (and you have to make sure the values in column A of both tables are consistent) but thereafter there are advantages. Among them, you can sort and filter your transactions or your commissions to get different views.
Splitting and merging cells in spreadsheets generally spells trouble, even in Numbers 2.3, though it sounds as if you've been lucky.

How can you generate Multiple random numbers from 1 to 49?

I am very new at programming with the iPhone SDK and I need some help with a project I am working on. What I want to do is set up a window with 6 labels and 1 button. When the user clicks the button, the program will populate 6 randomized numbers each ranging from 1 to 49, and then place each of 6 numbers in a label. But each time the program ends and starts again the numbers cannot be the same, and also when the user clicks the button, no label can have the same number twice, so for example. If label 1 had the number 10, the other 5 labels cannot have that number until the button is clicked again. I know how to set up the interface, I just need the code. I would so greatly appreciate someone's help in this matter. I have been trying to do this for days and I cannot figure it out. Possibly someone who knows tons about Objective C programming can help me!
Thank-you so very much!!

I see that you're writing a lottery number generator. Perhaps the easiest way to do it is to emulate a real lottery: fill an array (NSMutableArray, probably) with the numbers between 1 and 49, pick one at random, remove that number from the array, and repeat. (You can think of the numbers as being the balls and the array as being the machine that pops them out.)
One simple way to get the random indices needed is to extract six random bytes from Randomization Services using SecRandomCopyBytes, then loop over them, using the modulo operator (%) to select an index within the size of the array.
And no, I'm not going to write your code for you. If I was going to do that, I could package and sell the app myself.

How many sheets can you save in a Numbers file?

Hi folks. I am desperate for help. I have a very important Numbers file that I am working with, where I need to add 289 "sheets" to a single file. Everythign was fine, until I am trying to add my 146th sheet. When I add that next sheet, It will no longer auto save or let me manually save!
I can't find any file size or number of sheet limits.
What can I do? I really must have each sheet on the same file.
Please advise.
Drew

Drew,
According to the following discussion, Yvan Koenig states that you can have 255 Tables per Sheet and 255 Sheets per Document:
https://discussions.apple.com/message/7813797#7813797
In my opinion, anything approaching this order of magnitude belongs in an Office or Office-clone app. Numbers is bound to choke sooner or later with this much data.
If you are certain that you haven't hit one of these limits, there may be other reasons you can't save that we can't guess with the information that you provided.

Can you change the week numbers to start from August?

When using the Calendar Application on my MAC, using OS Yosemite, I really want to see the week numbers but not from the 1st January, but from 1st August, or even 1st April. This would allow users to view it by Financial Year, Academic Year or Calendar Year. Any ideas if this is possible?

Hi,
It is not possible to change the extension in Muse at the moment. You can export the site as HTML and change the extensions outside the Muse.

Project Documentation tab: can you 'freeze' a graph so another can be added and compared against?

I've been using the Project Documentation view recently to quickly compare dc signals against changes that I make to an electrical system. What I'm trying to do is capture a few seconds of a DC signal, stop acquisition, make a change in the system, then capture a few more seconds of the same signal and compare the two.
Project Documentation view is nice because I can drag the graphs onto the document for quick on the fly comparison.
Problem is, I drag a acquired signal's graph onto the document expecting the waveform to 'freeze' so that I can capture another segment of data and drag that graph onto the document for comparison. But once I acquire this second burst of data the first graph captures the live waveform, overwriting the baseline waveform I'm trying to compare against.
Is there a way to screencapture or freeze the graph so that multiple graphs can be stacked within the document form without them all updating?

Hi OKors,
I’m not sure if you can do exactly what you want. If it were me, I would take the first reading, then save it to an LVM file, then take the second reading, store that to an LVM file, then load the files to compare.

Quickoffice spreadsheets: Can you merge cells? Protect cells?

Hello!
I have several forms created in Excel that I would like to use on iPad. I am searching around for the right/best app to use for these forms. If anyone who has used Quickoffice could answer a few questions I would greatly appreciate it.
1. When I open an Excel file in Quickoffice will any changes automatically be made to the file just by opening it with this application?
2. Is it possible to merge cells?
3. Is it possible to protect cells/sheets?
Thank you very much for your time and assistance!

As far as I can tell from Your figure, You have selected something (yellow box) outside (?) of the table? Or is the selection column 1 of the table?
- If You selected something outside of the table, You cannot "merge" something which is not part of a table;
- if it is indeed column 1 of a table, all the cells have already been merged int one.
Like our antipodes would say..."No worries, mate"... AS far as I can tell from the figure, the merge function seems to be working.
If I am wrong, please don't feel offended and clarify Your problem.

How can I format cells in numbers to display swim times?

I need to list swim times in a numbers spread sheet. Swim times are listed as 2:17.75, meaning 2 minutes, 17 seconds and 75 hundreths of a second. Numbers automatically changes this to 2 m 17s and 750mm, or 2 h 18m 15s. I have tried to make a custom format, but nothing seems to work. Can I override all formating and just type what I want to?
Thanks
