Code for merging cells
what is the code for merging cells ? to create a shortcut ?
"Merging cells" usually means combining two cells so they are one. The screenshot below shows cells B2 and C2 merged. There is no "code" to do it. Select the two cells, right click, choose "merge cells".
But if you meant how do you take the values from two cells and concatenate them together, you can use the & operator or the CONCATENATE function. The formula in cell D3 is shown in the formula bar in the image below.
A "shortcut" usually means a "keyboard shortcut" which is the assignment of a key (or combination of keys) to a menu item. For instance, Command S is the shortcut for File/Save or File/Save As. You can assign shortcuts to menu items by opening up System Preferences and going to the Keyboard section.
But if you meant "hyperlink" such as to a web page, you can use the HYPERLINK function or just type in the link and et Numbers automatically detect it as a link.

In Yosemite version of Numbers, how keyboard shortcut for "Merge Cells" can be created?
In Yosemite version of Numbers, how keyboard shortcut for "Merge Cells" can be created?
OK, I've been doing this since CS2 with no need for a script. To hide guides and show preview...
1) Go to 'Keyboard Shortcuts'
2) Go to 'Product Area - Tools'. Yes, you'd think it would be in Views! But the buttons for this is at the bottom of the Tool Bar.
3) Go to 'Commands: Toggle view setting between default and preview'
4) Click your cursor inside 'New Shortcut' and hit the key you want or type it in. I choose the unused F2 key
5) Click the 'Assign' button and you are set. Hit the key to switch back and forth.
As for your mouse Zoom, use Power Zoom as described above or just hold down the Alt/Option button in 'Hand' mode and use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Not one step but it works!
Now you won't miss Quark at all! -
Function code for dropdown on OO ALV Grid to trigger user_command
Hi Experts,
I know we can add a dropdown to a column of an OO ALV Grid, set values to the dropdown list and allow the user to select some these values.
However , what I'm not sure is that if we can *assign a function code to the dropdown * which would then trigger the event user_command ( PAI ) of the ALV class so I can handle the changes to when a particular value is selected from a dropdown list, just like we do in normal dialogs.
Now I know that I can register the 'Enter' event and handle the data changes in data_changed event, but that is something I want to avoid the user from doing as far as possible to make the report more user friendly.
Awaiting your valuable inputs and would really appreciate your help.
Thanks & regards,
AdvaitHi Advait,
No problem. Yes, this functionality requires changing the focus to other cell.
I think there is other solution. As the dropdown is kind of F4 activity try this way:
data: it_f4 type lvc_t_f4,
wa_f4 type lvc_s_f4.
wa_f4-FIELDNAME = 'CONNID'.
wa_f4-REGISTER = 'X'.
wa_f4-GETBEFORE = 'X'.
wa_f4-CHNGEAFTER = 'X'.
append wa_f4 to it_f4.
"register F4 event
CALL METHOD g_alv_grid_ref->register_f4_for_fields
EXPORTING
it_f4 = it_f4.
"Once you try to pick the value HANDLE_DATA_CHANGED event will be triggered
"Definition
methods:
handle_data_changed FOR EVENT data_changed OF cl_gui_alv_grid
IMPORTING er_data_changed e_onf4 e_onf4_before e_onf4_after,

METHOD handle_data_changed .
DATA: ls_mod_cells TYPE lvc_s_modi.
IF e_onf4_before = 'X'.

ENDIF.
IF e_onf4 = 'X'. "if event triggered by F4
MESSAGE 'Data changed on F4' TYPE 'I'.
ENDIF.
IF e_onf4_after = 'X'.

ENDIF.
"here you know which cell was modified
LOOP AT er_data_changed->mt_mod_cells INTO ls_mod_cells.
"just example test case, here you can implement your code for modified cells
IF ls_mod_cells-value >=5.
CALL METHOD er_data_changed->add_protocol_entry
EXPORTING
i_msgid = 'SABAPDOCU'
i_msgty = 'E'
i_msgno = '888'
i_msgv1 = 'Only numbers below 5 are possibe'
i_msgv2 = 'Please correct'
i_fieldname = ls_mod_cells-fieldname
i_row_id = ls_mod_cells-row_id.
CALL METHOD er_data_changed->modify_cell
EXPORTING
i_fieldname = ls_mod_cells-fieldname
i_row_id = ls_mod_cells-row_id
i_value = space.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDMETHOD. "handle_data_changed
This approach works fine for picking value from input help. Never tried it for dropdown list. You have to try it out.

[CS4/JS] Import CALS-Tables with merged cells
Hello scripters.
I am actually trying to import CALS-tables (which is in my imported XML) into InDesign.
I used the convertElementToTable for this.
That worked, except for the merged cells (only cells which are merged to two or three columns).
How could I script the automatic generation for merged cells?

I want to merge cells of JTable. I searched on net about this and found that there is no direct API available for doing this.
After visiting many forums I found that jp.gr.java_conf.tame.swing.table package is needed to merge cells. Where will I get this package from and is this package for free? Other packages for merging cells will also do.
Thanks in advancePranav_Tipnis wrote:

However, the component is complicated and difficult to adapt and debug in case you need special functionality. -
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. -
Set Width for a column, Merge cells in Excel
Hi all,
I am using jacob.dll to open and modify an Excel file. And I am stucking in below trouble:
Dispatch workbook = Dispatch.invoke(workbooks, "Open",

Dispatch sheet = Dispatch.get(workbook,"ActiveSheet").toDispatch();
System.out.print(sheet.get(sheet,"Name") + "\n");
Dispatch a1 = Dispatch.invoke(sheet, "Columns",
Dispatch.Get,new Object[] {"A:A"},
new int[1]).toDispatch();
Dispatch.put(a1,"Width","8");
Error message is that I can not set value Width for object RANGE! so strange... Is there any ways to set Width for a certain column?
Any help is appreciated.

YukiNguyenHi all,
:) At last I can work done with Jacob, so great :) take me all yesterday to find more... just hope this post can help someone like me save one day to find how :)
//Get Range
Dispatch orange = Dispatch.invoke(osheet,"Range",Dispatch.Get,new Object[]{"A1:I1"},new int[1]).toDispatch();
//Get Column I & set Width
ocolumn = Dispatch.invoke(orange,"EntireColumn",Dispatch.Get,new Object[]{"I"},new int[1]).toDispatch();
Dispatch.put(ocolumn,"ColumnWidth","60");
//Merge cell
orange = Dispatch.invoke(osheet,"Range",Dispatch.Get,new Object[]{"C12:D12"},new int[1]).toDispatch();
orange.call(orange,"Merge");
Is it exciting, huh? :) I am trying to set HorizontalAlignment... beginner always stuck in somethings :)... but I have learnt so much

I can't access my cell to verify a code for iCloud keychain?.... What do I do to get keychain going!!!!!
Hi freddyg5316,
Sorry to hear you are having issues with this. If you are having troubles receiving the verification code via SMS when setting up iCloud Keychain, you may find the information and steps outlined in the following article helpful, in particular this portion:
If you didn't receive the verification code via SMS
Make sure that you have a strong cellular network connection on your phone.
Make sure that your phone number can get SMS messages. To check, ask someone to send you a text message.
Make sure that the correct phone number is associated with your account:
On your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch, tap Settings > iCloud > Keychain > Advanced. (In iOS 7, tap Settings > iCloud > Account > Keychain.) Make sure the phone number under Verification Number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
On your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences. Click iCloud, then click Options next to Keychain. (In OS X Mavericks or earlier, click iCloud, then click Account Details.) Make sure the phone number under Verification number is correct. If not, enter another phone number.
If you can't access a device that has iCloud Keychain enabled, contact Apple Support and verify your identity to get help setting up iCloud Keychain.

Ask for suggestion: merge cell or multiple jtable
I would like to have a jtable like this:
+----------+------+------+------+-----+
| 1.Item no|2.Desc|3.Type|4.Size|5.Qty|
+----------+------+------+------+-----+
| 001 | ... | A1 | 3 | 5 |
| | |------|------|-----|
| | | A2 | 2 | 6 |
+----------+------+------+------+-----+
| 002 | ... | A1 | 4 | 4 |
| | |------|------|-----|
| | | A3 | 2 | 6 |
+----------+------+------+------+-----+For each item, it would have say, 2 types (2 rows beginning from the third column).
The question is, I'm now considering whether 1)i should use multiple jtables, one from column 1 -2 and the other from column 3 to 5. OR 2)merge cells
In fact, i just have thought of this 2 methods and not yet implemented them yet. Any suggestion?
Many thanks,
PippenThanks thahn2 but I 've tried out the examples before and found them not so useful for me. And some of them even have problems running on jdk1.4.
Any suggestion on either choice will be welcomed. (or even other suggestions) -
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 AlexanderProblem 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. -
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. -
[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,
Andreas Jansson
Message was edited by: Andreas JanssonIn 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];

Merge cell without specifying a range?
I am running a Powershell script with an XLSx function where I get output from multiple script and
the output are stored in seprate worksheets. In 2 of my worksheets I have row name for each column, I have managed to remove (blank) the duplicate row value. Now I am looking to merge those cells whose colA rows are blank. I understand that we need to specify
the range for the cells to be merge. Is it possible to merge without specifying a range?Hi,
Would you like to share us a sample of the file? Based on your description, my understanding is that you want to merge the blank cells with above cells which include the value. And you do not want to assign the range. If it is, please try the following
code:
Sub MergeCells()
Dim LRow As Long
Dim MyRng As Range
Dim c As Range
Dim MergRng As Range
Range("A1").Activate
LRow = ActiveCell.CurrentRegion.Rows.Count
Set MyRng = Range("A1:A" & LRow)
For Each c In MyRng
If c.Value = "" Then
Set MergRng = Range(c, c.Offset(-1, 0))
With MergRng.Cells
.HorizontalAlignment = xlCenter
.VerticalAlignment = xlTop
.WrapText = False
.Orientation = 0
.AddIndent = False
.ShrinkToFit = False
.MergeCells = True
End With
End If
Next c
End Sub
