Cannot duplicate sheets in numbers 2.3 V9

I have a long used spreadsheet that all of a sudden started to stop funcioning.I cannot duplicate or copy/paste in it any more. I can edit, add, write and create new sheets and tables but cannot duplicate tables nor paste content.
I run Mavericks. Have the behaviour on all my computers.
Really desperate.
Pierre

I "solved" it opening the file in number 3.1, then saving it back in number 09 format.
What a drag.
I am a longtime numbers user. We changed our whole office from using MS Office with Excel to Numbers. I took quite a while for all to get going with the new software.
Now the upgrade to Numbers 3.1 is really a *******. The new program has such a steep learning curve that not even me, who is a geek wants to take the plunge. Apart from the problem that the whole organization has to have the newest macs only.
Now the old version starts getting hickups. We might have to go back to MS office or Google Docs.

  • Cannot Duplicate Spreadsheet in Numbers App

    When I click edit on my home screen in the numbers app:
    I click on a spreadsheet and then click the [+] top left to duplicate the spreadsheet.
    I get a pop up that says:
    "Couldn't duplicate spreadsheet
    The spreadsheet could not be duplicated.
    You might need to free up disk space before trying again"
    I have 7GB of free space available... And have iCloud enabled for the backup of the files
    I use this app for business purposes,
    I love it so much that I got an iPad to use it.
    Would be nice to organize the files into folders though, or have a search bar for them...
    Thanks for your input on the error,

    ok... so its the same popup for my Numbers app in iphone, yet there is 5.9 GB available.
    Must be an iCloud issue...

  • Cannot duplicate spreadsheet numbers version 3.5.2

    Cannot duplicate spreadsheet in numbers version 3.5.2 operating in Yosemite 10.10.2. Numbers shuts down. I have tried deleting app and then re-installing but to no avail. Help please

    Hi Joe,
    Jerry was replying to Leo. Please don't shoot the messenger.
    Numbers 3 is not an update of Numbers 2. It is a complete rewrite of Numbers to make Numbers for OS X  more compatible with Numbers for iOS through iCloud.
    If you have a specific question about layout in Numbers 3, please start a new thread.

  • Cannot duplicate a sheet if it has chart, or cannot copy a chart

    Duplicate sheet is not allowed if there is chart and also I cannot copy a chart to other sheet using copy and paste or drag and drop.

    You cannot duplicate the chart by itself either, though you can duplicate the table. That's probably the root of the cause for why the sheet cannot be duplicated. Now to figure out why the chart is a problem..
    EDIT:
    I created another 3-row table and another chart and can't duplicate that chart either. Tried it in a new sheet with the same problem.
    My guess is a bug that hosed the document and there's nothing to do but recreate it. If I find out otherwise I'll let you know. But right now I have to run.

  • Worksheet cannot be duplicated in Numbers on iMac

    Hi,
    On my iMac Worksheets (tables) cannot be duplicated in Numbers. However, as I am using iCloud, duplication of the same worksheet is well possible on my iPad. Afterwards, the duplicated worksheet is also visible on my iMac. Can anybody tell me how to fix this issue on the iMac without the need to duplicate it on the iPad first?
    In advance I thank you very much!
    Willem - the Netherlands

    Hi Jerry,
    Thank you for your quick reply! Upon your request I have 3 images for you to illustrate what happens:
    (1) The worksheet to duplicate is the selected one left on the column (the lowest one). I used the right mousebutton to choose  the option "duplicate" and the left mousebutton to start duplication, but nothing happens on the iMac. As a matter of fact the sheet to duplicate is already a duplicate of the worksheet one row higher, which was duplicated via the iPad. This was to illustrate that duplication of these sheets is not possible for me at this moment on the iMac.
    (2 and 3) It is surprising that when the same duplication procedure is used on the upper worksheet in the column left that worksheet is duplicated correctly, as you see in image (3)!
    I hope that you understand procedure used by me with help of the images above.
    With kind regards,
    Willem.

  • Duplicate sheets messes up  nested formulas?

    I have a formula nested inside an IF statement that refers to another table on the same sheet. When I duplicate the sheet the second level nested references don't seem to update to the new sheet name but refer back to the original sheet.
    The formulas looks something like this:
    =if(trim(sometable::a2)"",offset(b3,0,count(sometable::b3:b12),1,1))
    The trim updates and follows the new sheet, but the second level nested count locks into the original sheet name and has to be updated manually again.
    This spreadsheet was originally made in the desktop numbers but not the forumla. I made that new in iPad numbers.
    If this is a bug, where do we report it, as there is no report issue option like there is on the desktop version. Not that I have located.
    Message was edited by: jaxjason

    Is there anyone else that can try this and confirm what I found, a complex formula (nested) then duplicate sheet. Some references stay pointing at the original sheet, not the new one.
    Thanks

  • How do you delete extra "sheets" in numbers? Everytime I start a new document I end up numerous sheets.

    How do you delete extra "sheets in Numbers program? Everytime I start a new document it adds extra sheets..

    Hi Beast,
    You might find it easier to duplicate the whole doc and delete the sheets you don't want. Otherwise you are copying and pasting tables from each sheet.

  • How can I paste a part of a sheet from Numbers in Pages as text, without the formulas.The reason I need this (and was used to in Office) so that I have the freedom to delete something in one cell (in pages document) without causing changes.

    How can I paste a part of a sheet that I copied in Numers in a pages document without the formulas, simply as text. Used this a lot in Office. When I make some changes in the pages document. f.i. deleting a cell, I don't want to change other cells. Also when I copy a part of a sheet from Numbers and one of the cells that is part of the formula is not also copied, when I paste in Pages it shows as an error.
    Hope that You can me help with this.

    Leon,
    There are two solutions to the first question, narrowing to one solution when you have a broken link causing an error.
    Here's the "works always" solution.
    Copy (Command-C) the table or range in Numbers
    Click off the table on the blank canvas of the sheet.
    Edit > Paste Values
    Command-C
    Switch to Pages
    Command-V

  • Hello MacBook Pro Musicians- I cannot read sheet music from the ipad. It is too small. I want to connect a large monitor, hopefully wirelessly to my 13 inch macbook pro. what would I need to connect ? Any suggestions on how to keep monitor from falling?

    Hello Macbook Pro Musicians--I cannot read sheet music from my 13" macbook or from an IPad. The print is too small for these aging eyes! So I need to get a large monitor to attach to the Macbook.  I want the monitor to be connected wirelessly or using a blue tooth.  This will eliminate alot of potential mishaps
    when playing out.  Also I am having a time figuring out how I am going to safely keep the monitor on somekind of music stand without falling!!!  Can anyone help me with this?

    Hi Julius,
    As you can see in my profile section, my MBP is older by 5 years, 2GB RAM and with regards to question 1 (Q1), has no problems with having all those programs open at the same time with the possible exception of Photoshop since I use Gimp instead. With twice the RAM and much overall much better specs, Photoshop shouldn't be an issue. But you listed some other activities that might need that additional RAM. But the advise most give is to not get it from Apple but from a third party.
    Q5 - I always get Apple Care. Only had to use it once but it paid for itself that one time.
    Sorry, can't help you much with the questions you really want answered since I won't have a new MBP until (hopefully) next week but for Q4, I believe it depends on the peripheral. My current monitors are too old to allow them to be hooked up in a chain. Supposedly, if the monitors do have the ports, you could via the MBP Thunderbolt port. The speeds are also dependent upon the peripheral. If the external hard drive is using a USB 2 port, you are limited by that speed (480 Mb/s). If it has a Thunderbolt port, then from what I understand, we, my friend, are in for some great times because I believe your RAM will have the ability to access data as fast as it can take it at 10Gb/s (and if will need those kinds of speeds, the 8GB of RAM may be the way to go). The Thunderbolt demos on YouTube where they are accessing four video files from a Raid drive, then sending them back out via Final Cut Pro to a monitor are amazing. I'll probably never push this machine to anywhere near it's limits but I can't wait to see what others do.
    Peace,
    Jeremiah

  • How to avoid duplicate BOM Item Numbers?

    Hello,
    is there a way to avoid duplicate BOM Item Numbers (STPO-POSNR) within one BOM?
    For Routings I could avoid duplicate Operation/Activity Numbers with transaction OP46 by setting T412-FLG_CHK = 'X' for Task List Check. Is there an aquivalent for BOMs?

  • How do i check ensure that SAP checks for duplicate vendor invoice numbers?

    Hi Experts -
    How do I verify that SAP checks for duplicate vendor invoice numbers and blocks duplicate invoices from being paid?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Pls chek the settigs by following the path
    IMG>Materials Management>Logistics Invoice Verification>Incoming Invoice>Set Check for Duplicate Invoice.
    Here you make the settings for creating a duplicate invoice check.
    Moreever, in the vendor master, you need to tick the check box for duplicate invoice check.
    I suggest you search the Forums before posting a query. There are lots of postings on this issue.

  • Cannot duplicate event due to same file name

    I'm trying to archive some video projects my boss has made using Final Cut Pro X 10.0.7 on OS X 10.7.5. The problem I'm having is that I cannot "Duplicate Project + Used Clips" like I have done in the past because this project uses clips from three different events, and each of these events contains files that happen to have the same names as files in the other events.
    For example:
    Event A
    - 00000-1.m4v
    - 00000-2.m4v
    - 00000-3.m4v
    Event B
    - 00000-1.m4v
    Event C
    - 00000-1.m4v
    - 00000-2.m4v
    So let's say the project he's created uses all these clips. If I attempt to "Duplicate Project + Used Clips", it won't work because 00000-1.m4v from three different events is used in the project. Apparently FCP is written in such a way that it allows you to fall into this trap. What it should be doing is either not allowing you to import a file into an event if that file name already exists in another event, or it should be smart enough to rename duplicate files on-the-fly when exporting (for example, 00000-1-1.m4v and 00000-1-2.m4v). But it does neither of these things.
    The problem here is that these are the three events:
    Event A = 108 clips
    Event B = 68 clips
    Event C = 80 clips
    All FCP will say is that "two or more media files use the same name - rename the file or files and try again". Only it's not talking about the name of the file from within FCP -- it only cares about the file name as seen in the Finder. So even if I went into event A and put "A-" in front of all the clilp names, it doesn't matter, because it's not really "A-00000-1.m4v" -- the file is still named "00000-1.m4v" in the Finder, and the problem is unresolved.
    Does anyone know any way of sorting out this problem without a massive amount of digging around, renaming files by hand and relinking?

    I'm still stuck on this problem and in a couple of days I'm going to be sitting in on a webinar that will discuss archiving in FCP X.
    I have tried several things and if I'm missing something I'd like someone to let me know.  I also cannot find much on this subject which is very surprising...or I'm not searching in the right places.  I'm going to submit feedback to Apple as follows:
    Error:  “The operation cannot be completed.  Two or more media files use the same name.  Rename the file or files and try again.”
    Operation attempted:  Duplicate project with used clips.
    Second operation attempted:  Consolidate project media > Copy used clips only.
    Cause:  Two or more events contain clips with the same name.
    Eg.
    event-20130126
              GOPR0002.mp4
    event-20130220
              GOPR0002.mp4
    Background:
              This video project resulted in a one hour documentary that used recordings from 6 different cameras shot over a span of 4 months.  Each day’s recording, for the most part, was broken into separate fcp events.  This resulted in 48 events.
              AVCHD imports result in media files whose name reflects the date and time of the recording which makes each of the imports’ media file names unique, even across all events.
              Imports from cameras such as GoPro’s Hero use their own original file names such as GOPR0001.  Therefore media file names are not unique across all events.
              Due to render and export problems, the video was broken up into 14 separate FCP X projects, aligned with what would ultimately be a “chapter” in the resulting video.
              The 14 projects “share” events;  i.e. the events used in the 14 projects (chapters) are not mutually exclusive.
              The source media as well as the events span over 3 physical external hard drives.
              All 14 projects are on one hard drive.
    Consideration #1:
              It would seem that one way around this problem is to merge all 48 events.  I will not do this since this function moves the events rather than copies them.  Additionally, I’m not even sure if I have enough space to consolidate all 48 events anywhere available to me.
    Consideration #2:
              This leaves only one other option which is to rename the source media files and relink all of them across all events.
    Questions:
              1.          Why can’t FCP (internally) qualify the media file names that it imports with the event name?  i.e why is it left up to the user to insure that all of the media file names are unique across all events used by a project?
              2.          If it doesn’t do #1, then why were we not warned of this before starting.  I find out about this when I’m done with my project and trying to archive.  Now it’s a huge task to rename and relink.
    Thoughts:
              Regardless of whether there is work-around to this problem, the fact that FCP has a “feature” such as events and allows projects to use more than one event but does not manage them properly reveals a weakness and flaw.  If such is the case, then it would be less painful, in this situation, to force a project to use only one event.
    I wish that others would speak to this problem.  Or let us know what the answer to this is.
    Thanks.

  • How do I delete pages on a sheet in Numbers?

    How do I delete pages on a sheet in Numbers? I have 6 pages, and only need 2.

    "Totally unintuitive" is often a way of saying "not the way I've become accustomed to."
    In the Numbers Help menu, you will see "Numbers '09 User Guide." Choosing this item downloads a searchable PDF file containing the guide—a much better and easier to use resource than the indexed, but not fully searchable Help files.
    Numbers uses a model sufficiently different from "what you've been accustomed to" that I'd recommend reading at least the first two (or three) chapters straight through. The rest of the guide can be left to read on an 'as needed' basis.
    You'll also find a link to the iWork formulas and functions User Guide in the Help menu. If you're going to write formulas in your spreadsheets, you'll want to download that as well, and keet it available as a reference guide.
    Regards,
    Barry
    PS: I found this particular aspect of Numbers (what you see on the screen is what you get, but you can scale it to fit on fewer—or more—pages if you want) a fairly 'intuitive' (read: 'familiar') concept, since I'd been using the similar 'resize' feature with copy machines to make copied originals fit the page size to which I was copying them for as long as it has been available.
