Copying multiple rows of different formatting

My table is a Cue Sheet for a theater production. I have 3 rows of various information that together describe everything for just 1 Cue. So these 3 rows of differently formatted information is all for just one "Cue row". So in essence, these 3 rows are sort of acting as 1 large row.
I need these three rows for each new cue that I add into the spreadsheet, so I will be copying these 3 rows, or 1 "cue row", over and over again for each new Cue I add. But the problem I'm having is that when I go to copy and paste the previous 3 rows (or the last "Cue Row") to create a new Cue, not all of the formatting copies. It looks like only 1 row's formatting copies.
So, is there any way to treat multiple rows as if they were just 1 row? Or in other words, how can you copy & paste multiple rows of various formatting?
I'd like this because I need the ability to add new "Cue rows" quickly without having to reformat every time I copy or duplicate. Any help or suggestions you have would be great. Thanks!

Please let us know what works for you after you give it a try. Your original question said nothing about borders. Borders will Copy, but they will only Paste as a new table, not as an insertion or addition, at least not in my experience.
My experience is different.
Assuming that cell B2 has a full 4 edges border whose thickness is 3 points and color red
that cell C2 has only the top border set to 3 points, color Blue.
If I select both, apply Copy Style then Paste Style in cell D4, I get the full borders in D4 and nothing in E4.
If I select only cell C2, Copy Style, Paste Style in G4, I get a full red border in G4
If I define cell B5 with a top border of 4 points Blue, when I apply Copy Style then Paste Style to G6, I get a full blue border in G6.
There is at least some inconsistencies between the behavior and what is written in the User Guide.
In this useful resource, we may read :
select the table or cells whose effects you want to reuse, choose Format > Copy Style,
select the table or cells you want to format, and then choose Format > Paste Style.
This is true, only if the cells from which we copied style (no s here) wore the same style.
It's not absurd as the items aren't named Copy Style(s), Paste Style(s)
but Copy Style, Paste Style.
What is written means that we may select several cells with the same effects (yes, one cell may wear several effects). Copy Style will copy these effects so that Paste Style will apply them to every selected target cells.
Its not clear for all of us and, as I described before, the result may be different than the described one.
So, my own way of use is to select a single cell, Copy its Style,
select the target range then apply Paste Style.
And even with this scheme, the result may be 'surprising'.
A funny example before sending this message.
To achieve that, I defined the cell E4 with a full 2 points blue border.
Then I copied its style and paste it to the range E4…E33
At first I tried to define only the top border assuming that I will get full borders as I get when pasting style to a single cell but, nada, I got nothing.
Then I defined a single red top border to H6 but Pasting its style to range D4…D33 didn't give red borders but remove the vertical left border of cells E4…E33.
So I defined a full red border to H6 and Pasted this Style to D4…D33 and to F4…F33
I tried to define green top and bottom borders to H10 and Paste this Style to the range E4…E33.
Of course, I didn't got green horizontal borders.
The four edges of these cells were cleared and reset to the original thin grey ones.
Bizarre, vous avez dit bizarre
Have fun with borders

    I have one document with multiple artboards. I need to export each artboard with different formats and ppi. Is there a way I can do this quickly and efficiently without having to export each artboard individually? Thank you in advance for your time, insight, and help.

    Thanks for the reply Wade.

  • Layout: multiple rows of different lengths

    Ok for one im kinda new to java so all this swing stuff is still in a limited understanding for me. I am doing quite well with it, but i am trying to have a set of buttons, 50 in fact. There are like 10 rows. Now the problem is that the first 3 rows are different lengths such as:
    x is a button
    x x x x x
    x x x x x x x
    x x x x
    x x x x x x x x x
    x x x x x x x x x
    x x x x x x x x x
    x x x x x x x x x
    x x x x x x x x x
    x x x x x x x x x
    sorry about the horrible illustration, what im trying to say is that the first row has lets say 5 buttons, then the second row has 6 then the 3rd has 4 and then the remaining ones have 5. How would i come about this. I have tried using multiple jpanels like in the code below, but only the last one is being displayed, how would i do this?

  • SELECTing from multiple rows and different tables

    Basically, I have a table with a primary key and some other columns of data. The second table has a foreign key that points to the first table then has a columns with related data. I want to write construct a SQL query where one of the columns is the primary key from the first table and the second column is a concatenation of all the rows in the second table that have the same foreign key.
    I need this in the form of one SQL statement so that I can use it to create a report in Application Express

    Just in case my first post was a bit unclear.
    My first table has a primary key, INTERACTION_ID, and several other columns of data.
    My second table has a foreign key, INTERACTION_ID, and one extra column, USER_NAME.
    There are several rows in the second table that share the same INTERACTION_ID as each interaction can have many user names. I want to construct a SQL query where I pull the interaction id in one column and concatenate all the relevant rows of USER_NAME as the second column.

  • FETCH multiple rows into different variables

    Dear all,
    i would like to have a loop to fetch 2 rows into 2 separate variables at a time. Does anybody have a clue how could I do this?
    Thanx

    You can't do it with a FOR record IN cursor LOOP. You'll have to do it the old-fashioned way, something like this:
    DECLARE
       CURSOR c1 IS SELECT blah....
       r1 C1%ROWTYPE;
       r2 C1%ROWTYPE;
    BEGIN
       OPEN c1;
       LOOP
          FETCH c1 INTO r1;
          IF C1%NOTFOUND THEN
             EXIT;
          END IF;
          FETCH c1 INTO r2;
          IF C1%NOTFOUND THEN
             EXIT;
          END IF;
          do_some_stuff;
       END LOOP;
       CLOSE c1;
    END;

  • Multiple files in different directory using single FILE adaptor

    Hi Guys,
    How can we handle multiple files having different format(PDF,TXT,EXCEL) and in different directory with the single FILE adaptor.
    I know by using "." we ca get mutilple files, but here tthe files are of different format and in different directory.
    Could you please explain as to how we can handle this scenarios?
    Thanks

    Hi,
    The short answer is - "No".
    The Long Question - "Why do you want to use a SINGLE channel".
    If your idea is to reuse the interface then dont worry... Except for the Senderchannel and Sender agreement all your other objects can be reused ...provided your sender apter converts the different files into the same XML format..
    For TXT you can use the simple file adpater..
    For excel see if you can use save the file as .CSV format...then you can use it directlky by the simple FIle adapter..
    For PDF use conversion agent... Here a blog to get u started on that ->

  • SSIS project - read multiple flat files with different formats

    hi all,
    i need to import multiple flat files with different formats into different tables of the sql server database and not able to figure out the best way out in ssis to do so...
    please advise the possible methods in ssis to do so and if possible the process which can be dynamic as file names or columns might change in future.

    Hi AK1987,
    To import flat files with dynamic columns, we can use Script Task inside a Foreach Loop Container to parse the first row of the flat file to get the columns names and save them into a .NET variable, then, we can create “Create Table” script based on this
    variable, and then store the script into a SSIS package variable. After that, we create a staging table based on the package variable, load the flat file data to the staging table. Eventually, we load data from the staging table to the destination table. For
    the detail steps, please walk through the following blog:

    Great hearing for you all! I thought I was all alone this past weekend. I did learn a lot this weekend. I really like the InDesign product.(half-the-battle) But to be helped by the prestigious “Sandee Cohen” was an honor indeed.”  I ordered the InDesign CC today.  Peter, I appreciate all the feedback on Lynda too. They are loaded with lots of good videos. Derek too honed in on one of the most important aspects!  Since I have been working with Word for most of the first portion of the book this will be a big help. I looked at the comments big help ! Thanks a ton ALL!  Have a wonder day or evening whenever you read this reply.

  • FTP Adapter to poll multiple files (different formats)

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to poll and process multiple files from a given FTP location(either process all or reject all - reject if there is any failure in one of the files).
    Using FTP Adapter's Get File operation(Schema Opaque), we are able to read three different file formats and can get the file name(Using header variable FileName).
    And we are hoping to process the file contents based on the File Name that we get from the above step.
    1) How do we convert the file contents from Opaque to specific Schema (ex: file1.csv, file2.csv and file3.csv with different formats)?
    2) As the requirement is to process all the files at the same time, Can we use correlation in the poller process to route to single controller process(One instance of Controller process for all the files)?
    Any help would be much appreciated.
    Thanks...

    Thanks a lot for the quick answers.
    I've used the Java embed to convert Base64 content to String. And using 'translateFromNative' extension, I could convert it to the desired XML content.
    But I still have trouble in polling and processing all the files(file1.csv, file2.csv and file3.csv) at the same time using a single controller process.
    My requirement is to process all the three files at the same time(for any failures I have to compensate any/all of inserted records).
    I tried using Pick(with different OnMessage branches), but as they are polling the same location I could see only one OnMessage branch is getting fired resulting in multiple instances.
    May be I didn't understand your suggestion correctly, could you please elaborate on the possibility of processing multiple files at the same time?
    Thanks

  • Multiple Rows Copy

    Hi,
    I can't see the option to Multiple Rows Copy and Paste to the other page. Please help, thanks.

    "Curious, there is no "copy option" click to the reference tab of the first row?"
    What you see is what you get. There is no "copy" choice in the reference tab menu for any of the rows (or columns). I'm not certain how the presence of one would help with a "Multiple Rows Copy."
    You can click on a reference tab to select the row, drag to add to the selection, release the mouse button, right click on any cell in the row, then choose Copy from the popup contextual menu. I don't know that that is any more efficient than what I described earlier, though.

  • Multiple row insertion into rm_text_lines from "free format select text"?

    We use the Repository Object Navigator (RON) to define views through the "free format select text" ("Select text" and "Where/Validation condition" fields).
    Before the upgrade/migration to 9i (repository and clients), multi-line definitions inserted in these text fields with older Designer clients were saved in multiple rm_text_lines rows and have remained this way after the upgrade/migration.
    With the 9i Designer clients, the multi-line definition (separated by "Enter" key) are now inserted as only one row.
    Is there any (easy) way in Designer 9i client to "force" the insertion of multiple rows into rm_text_lines when an "Enter" (chr(13)+chr(10)) is encountered?

    Can you give a use case? Are you using some Repository API scripts that expect that rm_text_lines are no longer than a single line, that are now failing when the text is actually fairly long? Are you printing and want to make sure that line breaks occur where the user put them?
    I ask because there really isn't a way to force Designer to break long text into multiple rm_text_line rows. Therefore, you are going to have to change your API scripts and reports to take the possible long lines into account.
