Change Cell Size/Merge Cells?

I'm wondering if you can (or how you can) merge multiple cells, or change the size/length of a cell.
Thanks in advance.

Merging is not possible in the current version of numbers for iPad.
As for resizing columns, tap the table once, then tap above the column on that grey bar. Then use the gripper area on the right to expand the width of the column.

  • Merge Cells in Numbers

    I am using Numbers 3.2.2 on an iMac running 10.9.4 and after selecting a number of cells, the "Merge Cells command under "Table" is not highlighted therefore disallowing the merge.   They are cells in the body of the spreadsheet not header cells.

    Hi Baron,
    after selecting a number of cells, the "Merge Cells command under "Table" is not highlighted therefore disallowing the merge.
    How are you selecting cells? When I select adjacent cells, the Merge option is allowed. When I select non-adjacent cells by command-click, the Merge option is not allowed.
    However, I agree with quinn that merging is not advisable. There are other ways to create the look you want. Have you tried a Text Box as a banner?

  • Change cell size in book module

    I would like to change the cell size in the book module, not altering the cell padding which just adjusts the size of the photo within the cell, I want to edit the actual cell.  Is this possible?

    I believe that Cell Size is fixed for any of the template pages in LR.
    However if you choose the "Full Page" template, you can unlink the "padding" sliders to size and position a cell where you wish, along with zooming the image size. But limited to only one image on the page!

  • 2 questions - change image size within print cell, and saving print template w/ specific images

    Hi,
    Searched the forums for the answer to these but couldn't find much.
    1. Is there a way to change the image size within a cell (under print module). For example, zoom in 140% on a a specific image but still have it within the original cell size?
    2. Say I create and fill in an elaborate print template with my images - is there a way to save the FILLED IN version of the template to edit at a later time? For example if I wanted to load it back up w/ all the original images layed out in the print template, but maybe change a few and resave as jpeg?
    Thank you!

    Hi
    I'm not sure but maybe you can use a rectangle to hold the .ai image, resize the rectangle and fit proportionally the image inside it
    hope this help

  • Excel export are merging cells for data on multiple lines !

    Hello,
    I'm using Crystal Report XI R2, when we are doing an export to Excel with have an unexpected formatting.
    For example the value of the name is on 2 lines:
    => So, on Excel the result is on 2 lines but merged. We want to have this result only on one cells.
    Remark: if we delete the 2nd lines, because cells are merged we obtain the expected result.
    Proposal A:
    Are they any set-up available concerning the formatting of Excel ?
    Proposal B:
    Could we run some VBA when we click on Export button to make queries on the Excel ?

    When they introduced Unicode support in Crystal 9 (I believe), they had to completely re-write the export routines. At that time, they made a decision to change the functionality of the excel export. Crystal is attempting to remain absolutely faithful to the graphical layout of the report as you see it in the viewer. So it creates merged cell sections, empty columns between columns, and empty rows to give you as close to exactly what you see in the viewer as possible. Unfortunately, the result is typically less than useful. Iu2019ve had several conversations with Business Objects (now SAP) with regards to this when they changed it between versions 8.5 and 10, and they have no intention of changing the functionality as it now exists.
    There is a document which is now likely somewhere on the SAP portal that explains what you need to do to obtain the best results when exporting to excel.
    The jist of it is this:
    Line up all of the columns detail data with thier headers, and make sure that data fields are the same size as thier headers. 
    Line up all rows (headers and detail rows). (ie: select everything in the row, right click, align tops, and make the same height)
    cram everything as close together as possible. zero space in the report translates to zero extra collumns and rows in the export.
    the other option is to use the export to data only functionality, but that may not be what you're looking for either.

  • Is there a way of merging cells (not columns) in a Flex Datagrid?

    Hello everyone!
    I'm new to Flex and I have been searching for a solution to this problem for two days now, so any help would be really appreciated!
    I have a datagrid of, lets say x columns of fixed size, with the ability to add or remove rows dynamically. When adding a row o popup comes up and lets the user determine the positions(order) and widths of the desired cells of the row. So what I want to do is to be able to merge cells of the new Datagrid row appropriately, to satisfy the user's choices. Thats the general idea.
    Is there a way to have a Datagrid (or other similar component) with different cell number and widths for each row in Flex? I need a component similar to the Datagrid because I want to be able to select rows and process their data.
    Any idea would be very helpful as I'm pressed for time and I could use someone's experience to search in the right direction and not loose time.
    Thanks in advance!

    Thank you very much for your response. I finally did what I wanted without using a Datagrid. I used a Table Flex Component (which extends Flex Grid) that I found here:
    http://code.google.com/p/flex-table/#Demo
    I downloaded the source and changed some things to make it work as I need.

  • 'Merge Cell' is greyed out - how do I activate it and merge two cells together?

    I am just learning Numbers, trying to merge two cells together should be a very simple process!
    I have followed the instructions in help
    The 'merge cells' function remains greyed out no matter what I do - I therefore cannot merge two or more cells into one!
    Please help, is there something I need to activate in the cell?

    Hi Claudia,
    Actually, a "truly blank document" would be an empty canvas, containing no table of any type, no document header or footer locations, no document margins, no page definitions, no page orientation. Just a blank sheet onto which you could put whatever objects you wish.
    Perhaps Apple should have named the 'not blank' templates "Basic" rather than blank, removed the header column, and left the header row intact. That would match the "Basic" table style available in the Tables button's menu, used for adding a table to a Sheet.
    If you really do want to always start with a table which has no header rows and no header columns, it's easy enough to set up.
    Open a new 'blank' document (Apple's 'blank').
    Click on the Table 1 icon in the Sheets list and press delete. (faster than selecting cell A1, then taking two trips to the Table menu to delete first the (header) row then the (header) column)
    Click the Tables button and choose Plain to insert a 'plain' table (no header row, no header column)
    (optional) Add or delete rows or columns to make the blank table the size you desire.
    (optional) Position the table where you want it.
    Save the result as a Template.
    In Numbers Preferences > General > For New Documents, select Use Template, then Choose your new template.
    Until you change that preference, any New document you make will contain your new, 'blank' table.
    Regards,
    Barry

  • Excel Merge Cells.vi throws an undefined error in Excel 2013?

    Basically, I can't write text into an Excel spreadshoot using the Report Generation tools.
    Using LabVIEW 2013 (SP1) I am writing to individual cells in an Excel (2013) template.
    The error is coming from the Report Generation Toolkit>Excel Specific>Excel Easy Text.vi.>Excel Merge Cells.vi.
    Inside of the "Excel Merge Cells.vi" is an "Invoke Node.Range". When the program hits this point, it throws out an undefined error.
    My code has been running on multiple platforms in multiple programs with no problems using Office 2010.
    NASA upgraded our Office Suit to 2013. I am now throwing an undefined error ( -2146827284).
    I've got a service request in and have talked to an engineer. THey are looking at the problem. However, I thought I would throw it out here and see if anyone had seen this particular problem.
    Bryan Alexander

    Problem found, workaround implemented.
    When you use the "New Report.vi", you have to wire in one of four choices for the state of the window. "Maximized", "Minimized", "Normal" and "No Change". If you use the "Excel Easy Text.vi" to insert data into an Excel 2013 Spreadsheet, it will generate an error if you opened the Excel file in "Minimized" mode. The other three states work fine.

  • How do you format cell size in numbers for multiple cells at the same time?

    How do you format the cell size of multiple cells at once in numbers?

    select the cells you want to format by clicking at the top-left most cell, then shift click the bottom-right most cell.
    Then open the inspector by selecting the menu item "View > Show Inspector", then click the table inspector segment:
    now use the row height and column width fields to adjust as needed.
    You can also select multiple rows and columns by clicking in an active tables row/column header, then dragging to select rows (or column), then hover the cursor on the line the separates rows (or columns) until the cursor changes to a bar with arrows, then click, hold, and drag as needed.

  • [CS3/CS4 JS] How can you get the associatedXMLElement of a merged cell in a table?

    Hi!
    Inserting a table, and autotagging it, I get a table with a number of cell elements in the XML Structure.
    Selecting an item in the table, I can find the associated XML by the following line of code:
    app.selection[0].associatedXMLElement
    My problems begin when cells are merged. Then the associatedXMLElement for the cell returns null.
    How can I find the associatedXMLElement for a merged cell?
    Using the getElements makes no difference.
    app.selection[0].getElements()[0].associatedXMLElement
    (returns null)
    In the XML structure I can see that the merged cell is still associated to an XML Element, which becomes underlined and also referrs back to the cell, selecting it when double clicking the XML Element link in the structure.
    Is there no way to get to the xml element of a merged cell?
    I have tested in CS3 and CS4 as well, and they act in the same way.
    I also found a similar, unanswered, question from Anne-Laure Jallon in the "With CS3, some things have changed" ( http://forums.adobe.com/message/1105813#1105813 ):
    Hello,
    I'm working with VBscript.
    Is there a difference between cell.associatedXmlElement in CS2 and CS3?
    All my cells in CS2 had an associatedXmlElement.
    In CS3, my table has an associatedXmlElement, but all its cells don't (The value is Nothing)
    Is this a bug? Is it linked with XML evolution?   Thanks Anne Laure
    Adding some more info:
    I made a test, by selecting the XMLElement in the structure, and from that object finding the cell, and finding back to the assiciatedXMLElement:
    app.selection[0].getElements()[0].cells[0].associatedXMLElement
    Result: [object XMLElement]
    So that kind of "chain" works.
    But with the merged cell as only reference, I can't find its associatedXMLElement. Any ideas would be appreciated.
    Best regards,

    In my opinion, locate a cell according to his content is not so effortable. What happens if contents of more than two cells are equals?
    I take xml elements of associated xml element of table and put them into an array.
    This array contains associated xml elements of every cell ordered by cell positions into table.
    Now, locate associated xml element of a cell based on its array position (index) is more reliable:
    var myCell_cell = app.selection[0];
    var myElement = myCell.associateXMLElement
    if (!myElement || !myElement.isValid)  {
         var table =  myCell.parent;
         var xml_tab = table.associatedXMLElement;
         var xml_cells_arr = xml_tab.xmlElements.everyItem().getElements();
         var idx = myCell.index;
         myElement = xml_cells_arr[idx];

  • I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, columns and tabs make many merged cells and many blank columns. In addition to not separate the columns correctly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I'm even thinking that Adobe Acrobat Pro D

    I need to convert PDF to Excel, however, columns and tabs make many merged cells and many blank columns. In addition to not separate the columns correctly, I see many not separate lines together in the same cell. I'm even thinking that Adobe Acrobat Pro DC has limitations. There is no way to define what points in columns to force break column? Nor create many columns that are useless? How does text to column in Excel, fixed size when we import text, and define where the breaks have columns?

    PDF does not contain columns, rows, formats, styles, or other aspects of word processing or spreadsheet file formats.
    This is because PDF is decidedly not a word processing or spreadsheet file format or something "like" one of those.
    (see ISO 32000 for what PDF "is")
    What can optimize the export of PDF page content is to start with a well-formed tagged PDF (ISO 14289-1, PDF/UA-1 compliant).
    Without that export is what it is and one performs whatever content cleanup is needed using the native application for the export file (MS Word or Excel).
    Be well...

  • [CS2/CS3 JS] Merged Cell Problem...

    Hi,
    Below is a part of my script that has been giving me a problem with merged cells:
    if (myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeWeight > 0.5) {
    myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeWeight = 2;
    myTable.cells.item(h).bottomEdgeStrokeType = "Thick - Thick";}
    Everytime the script passes on a merged cell, it quits and it only do changes on the first cell of the merged cells. Once I run my script again, it quits with error because the first cell of the merged cells now has a different stroke weight than the rest of the merged cells.
    Is there a way to apply stroke on merged cells? And what is the parameter for UNMERGE? Thanks.

    Hi Joaquin,
    Here are a few examples – hope it helps.

    myEndCell = myTable.cells.item("0:3");  // cell in the 1st column and 4th row
    myStartCell.merge(myEndCell);
    // now merged cells have become the cell in the 1st column and 1st row
