Categorized by this column grayed out

Hi,
I imported a rather complex spreadsheet from Excel. My problem is that the "categorize by this column" option isn't available on any column.
I tried with a simpler spreadsheet imported from Excel, and the option does appear this time.
What makes this option being available or not ?
Thank you for your help.

Often the case is merged cells. Merged cells in the same row are okay. Merged cells from multiple rows is not. You will also notice you cannot sort.

most appreciated.

Hi ezadler,
Did this issue only haapen to this one particular list?
Please check if there are more related ULS logs in 15 hive.
And also try saving this library as a template and create a new libarary based on it, then check if issue still exists, then change the "multiple lines of text" type
Enhanced rich text to
Rich text (even Plain text) if possible, then check again.

Can't freeze header column, grayed out

Hello... have header rows established and frozen, can't establish header column and freeze it. All areas are grayed out and column header is set as zero and won't allow me to change it.

Do you have any horizontally merged cells in this column? That will prevent it from becoming a header column

2x2 table. 4 empy cells. Can hide rows but not columns. grayed out. argh!

Only one sheet with a single table with 4 cells.
I don't see any merged cells.
Is there any other attribute that prevents columns from being hidden?
I realize that one cannot hide all the columns or all the rows.
I was given a spreadsheet months ago with this problem.
Couldn't figure it out so worked around it by creating a new one and copying over the data.
Still have the original, so I have pruned it down to a 2x2 table that still has the problem!
Sure would like to know what is going on.

You can take a table down to a single visible cell, but no further.
This worked for me to show only cell B2:
Expand the 2 x 2 table using the handle at the lower right to include more than two rows and more than two columns.
Click the header tab for column A and choose Hide Column.
Click the header tab for Row 1 and choose Hide Row.
Grab the handle and drag it up and to the left to collapse the table to a single visible cell.
This was done with a new sheet after placing data in the top left block of four cells. YMMV, of course.

Sending photos from iPhoto to FB the word "Publish" is grayed out. How do I get it black again?, Sending photos from iPhoto to FB the word "Publish" is grayed out. How do I get it black again?

I have been sending pics from my iPhoto to FaceBook for a long time. Today I tried sending them from my iPhoto and after clicking FB a window comes up with the question Do you want to publish...........(whatever the pics are about)? Then I choose the option of "everyone" "friends of friends" and "only friends". After choosing my option I can then click on "publish" and the pics go to my profile page on FB, or they did until today...because the word "publish" is grayed out and won't allow me to send them. Anyone got any suggestions why this got grayed out, and how can I fix it.

Your problem is that you have been running a Referenced Library, and now you're trying to convert this to a Managed Library
A Managed Library, is the default setting, and iPhoto copies files into the iPhoto Library when Importing. The files are then stored in the Library package
A Referenced Library is when iPhoto is NOT copying the files into the iPhoto Library when importing because you made a change at iPhoto -> Preferences -> Advanced. (You unchecked the option to copy files into the Library on import) The files are then stored where ever you put them and not in the Library package. In this scenario you are responsible for the File Management.
Simply changing the setting in the Preferences will not do this. It just means that imports from here forward will be Managed. Those that were Referenced remain so.
Now, because you've moved the Referenced Files to the new disk, iPhoto cn't find them. So it throws the error message. This is one of the major reasons experience users recommend against Referenced Libraries.
No change you make at this point will have any effect. The Library will try and update and throw the errors.
Options:
Let it run it's course and then fix it.
Or
Give it up as a bad job, recover your Photos and start over from scratch.

Include CD text is grayed out on one computer but not other?

I am having a strange issue with Itunes on different computers. I have Itunes on both my home computer and my computer at work. On my work computer which is an HP, when I go to preferences>Advanced>Burning> I can select “include CD text”, and everything works fine. However, on my home computer running the same version of ITunes, that option is grayed out and I can’t select it. I have checked some settings, but can’t seem to figure out why I can’t select it on my home computer. Please Help
HP Windows XP

Ok, I finally got a chance to burn a CD using the Nero express program. Although it was a two step process; 1. burn songs to CD and 2. save tracks to CD, the song names were recognized by the Sure Thing label program, but not the ITunes program. I brought the CD to work, and put it in the computer and the ITunes program did not find the CD text there either. I would assume that the DVD/CD writer IS capable of writing the CD text to the audio CD since the tracks are recognizable by both the Nero program and the Sure Thing label program. Now to figure out why I can’t select “include CD text” in the ITunes preferences on that computer. Oh, I also looked up the model of the work computer disk drive (HP DVD Writer 640I) that allowes the selection of "include CD text" and the home computer disk drive (HP DVD writer 740I) that has this option grayed out. The specs are almost identical with the possible improvements to the later model 740I. I don't know, weird stuff.

How to make selection parameter gray out, not changeble mode

How to make this parameter gray out, not changeable mode.

Hi,
For the parameters required, while declaring them use the MODIF ID, lets say you have choosen the modif id as SC1.
i.e. parametes: p_mat type matnr DEFAULT '100' MODIF ID SC1.
Then in the initialization event, code as below.
    LOOP AT SCREEN.
      IF screen-group1 = 'SC1'.
        screen-input = '0'.
        MODIFY SCREEN.
      ENDIF.
    ENDLOOP.
It will work.

Sip dialer port export option grayed out in configuration manager ucce 10

Hi,
I am configuring the outbound option for ucce 10, when i configure the sip dialer port (dialer conifguration) in conifiguration manager, i just added 5 ports, i can see this ports showing in dialer process on the PG, but i need to export this ports to Unified communication manager, i could not able to export it because this option grayed out (i did select all, or individual selection both are having export option grayed out)
Any idea?
with Regards,
Manivannan

Exporting port configuration is only allowed for SCCP, in SIP Dialer Deployment its actually not needed and that why its grayed out.
//but i need to export this ports to Unified communication manager//
in Sip Dialer you don't need to create any Port For Dialer under CUCM. its only required in SCCP.
Sip Dialer port Directly registers with VG.

Adobe Element 10 - Simplify Option Grayed Out

I am just learning this program (only had it 2 days!) and have been following some tutorials on You Tube but just came across a problem. I was trying to do some digital scrapbooking and purchased a template to use. I then wanted to add a photograph of some text to the template. I followed the instructions and everything was working beautifully..... until it came to the step where it asked me to simplify the layer - and this was grayed out. If I can not simplify the layer image then I can not move it or shape it to fit properly behind the top layer. Am I missing a step somewhere? Thank you so much if you can help.

I have tried symplifying both items the page itself, and then the photo of the text I want to add...but it is greyed out on both of these. According to the tutorial I was watching I should be able to just click on symplify and this will allow me to resize, rotate, move etc .... the photo of the text while it still behind the actual top layer. It is meant to be just a quick way of doing it I guess. This is what the page looks like before the photo of the text was added

I have duplicative song files in my library that are grayed out. This seems to cause a syncing problem to my ipod or iphone. How can I clean up this mess?

I chose to let iTunes rearrange my files and it appears to have duplicated them in my computer's drive. So now I have the same folders/files directly under my D drive (second computer hard drive) and also in the iTunes Music Folder that iTunes created. Wasn't sure what to do so I did another import and now I have files in my library that are grayed out with the small i symbol in the circle next to them. I also have the working (bolded) files too. How can I clean this up?

Is there a way to override the 256kbps "conversion" when uploading to iCloud?
No. All music that is mirrored in the cloud will be AAC@256 Kbps.
Musicman05 wrote:
Along the same lines, if I "download" a song from my library to my iPhone, then plug my iPhone into my computer and sync the song file from my computer, will the higher quality original file overwrite the 256 one?
No, because with iTunes Match enabled on an iOS device traditional syncing of music via USB is disabled. All music management is done directly on the device.
Musicman05 wrote:
Also, if I want to syncronize another computer using iTunes match, how can I get the higher quality audio files? Will I simply have to transport all of them by an exernal hard drive or thumb drive?
You will first have to copy the high-quality audio files to the computer, add them to the iTunes library then enable iTunes Match.

Your device has a hardware failure and only replacement or repair will fix it. Take it to an Apple Store or an Apple authorized service provider.

I've spent an hour plus googling this and none of the 'fixes' works. My custom ringtones show up fine in itunes but are grayed out in iphone when I try to sync. This just happened when I synced my phone: previously worked fine.

I've spent an hour on this: massively frustrating. My custom ringtones disappeared from iphone when I just sync'd and now show up in itunes/iphone interface (on the mac) grayed out: won't sync to phone. I know the audio files work because they were fine two hours ago! (iphone 5 running 8.1.3)

I had this problem too after i upgdatd to OS X Mavericks... only the songs on my iphone 5s that i purchased from itunes would play.
i read something about it being a syncing issue. when you plug your phone into your computer with the usb cable, the person said to switch from automatic syncing of itunes to the "manual" option. mine was already set to manual so i wasn't sure anything would work. BUT, when i plugged my phone into my computer, it started to sync all of my music on my phone again (top of itunes bar where song playing/time is listed said "now syncing 123/534 songs to x's iphone"). once that was completed, i checked the music app on my iphone and everything was back to normal!
so, i would suggest setting your music syncing settings to manual if you haven't tried that yet!
hope this helps!
