Count Cells Based on Font Colour

I have a Numbers spreadsheet that lists all my movies. The font is different colours based on Blu-Ray DVD (Blue), Apple TV (Green) or normal DVD. Column A has the list and I would like to list the number of DVD's based on DVD type (Font Colour) in column B. B1 list number of cells in column A with Blue Font and B2 list number of cells in column A with Green Font.
I am a newbie with Macs, Scripts and Numbers so any help would be appreciated.

Hi JSS,
Text colour is a cell format and can not be used as a "value" except maybe in AppleScript.
With another column to list DVD type,
COUNTIF (in another table)
Formula in B2 (and Fill Down)
=COUNTIF(Table 1::B,A2)
Regards,
Ian.

Hi Raza,
Yes, my above Switch expressions works in such a way as mentioned your sample screen.
But only thing is you need to modify the expression as per your requirements.
For Example:
Take Month and Year wise Sales amount shown as below:
The Expression would be like below(Not Tested)
=Switch
Fields!Salesamount.Value=100,"Orange",
Fields!Salesamount.Value=200,"Aqua",
Fields!Salesamount.Value=300,"Blue",
Fields!Salesamount.Value=400,"Tomato",
Fields!Salesamount.Value=500,"DarkViolet",
Fields!Salesamount.Value=600,"Red",
Fields!Salesamount.Value=700,"Blue"
So, in a single cell "Year-2001"you will get all 7 colors.
Please let me know still you need any info.

Linking Excel to Word - Word doc updates the numbers in a table but the format (font colours) do not update

I am using Office 2010. I have many graphs and linked tables to a master word document from Excel. The tables contain percentages and are formatted red if under -2.5%, yellow if between -2.5% and +2.5% and green if over +2.5%. The colours are correct
in Excel but when I refresh the word document, the numbers update but the font colours do not. The purpose of linking was to save time but if the colours do not update then the link is pointless. Is there any way to ensure the colours update as well as the
values?

Hi,
In regarding of the issue, I have a couple of questions:
Do you mind telling me how do you copy/link between Excel and Word?
Where did you store the Word and Excel file? Both of local disk or network drive, even website?
Did you using conditional formatting to display/format percentages?
Based on my tested, please try the following steps, it would be update all the information after the source was changed.
Select the table/chart in Excel> Open word >Copy>Paste>Choose Link & Keep Source Formatting.(See image 1)
If we changed the source data in Excel, then right click the table in Word> Choose update Link. (See image 2)
Then the data, format, font and color all will be updated.
Hope this should help you.

Conditional format of one cell based on contents of another cell

Preparing list of appointments for visitors with time for each. There are four possible status categories for visitors based on projected activity and whether they have shown up or not. (A Group Scheduled, A Group Showed, B Group Scheduled, B Group Showed). I've created the calendar in iCal with different calendars, then accessed that through Bento iCal Events. Bento adds the column with name of calendar from iCal. Info is now in Numbers. (iWorks 09)
It shows Title, Start Date, Location, Calendar. I'm adding more fields using Lookup in Numbers drawing on entire data base brought over from Bento. I'm trying to get what info I need, but none that I don't, so the form isn't too crowded and busy.
I would like to be able to conditionally format the Time column based on the contents of the Calendar column. If successful, the color of the Time column would tell me all I need to know about visitor status, and I could hide the Calendar column and clean up the form.
I hope I've described it adequately. Can this be done, and if so, how?
Thanks! Have a great Thanksgiving!

Does it work to format two cells based on contents of one of them?
Conditional formatting of a cell depends on the contents of that individual cell, compared with another value, so no.
But you could use a two-table approach.
In general terms, the technique is to:
• make the original table's cell fill transparent,
• Add a second table to the sheet,
• Set the second table to copy the control values into a column of cells,
• Select the cells in that column of Table 2,
• Apply conditional formatting rules for each possible control value (see below)
• Set the text opacity for these cells to 0 (full transparency),
• Click on Table 2 in the sidebar, then use (shift and) the arrow keys to slide Table 2 behind Table 1 to align the highlighted cells with the cells to appear highlighted in Table 1.
• Set the colour of the cell borders on table 2 to none.
Using the information you gave regarding the calendar column, you'll need four rules for conditional formatting of this column. All are of the same format:
Text contains: A Group Scheduled
With the text changed to match each possible entry.
Regards,
Barry
BTW: by changing the width of the formatted column on table 2, you can appear to highlight as many columns as you wish on Table 1.

Text caption changes font/colour/size

Hi
The Recording Defaults for the Text Caption in the prferences has not been altered.
On some slides I need to add a text caption.
I'm finding that sometimes when I click to add a Text Caption the font, colour and size is different to what the default settings are. The default is Arial, 12, #0000FF.
When I manually add a text caption it'll show as System, 10 and black.
Has anyone come across this before? Is there a way to stop it. It's really annoying and a time waster to have to manually change the font, size and colour. And you have to be on your guard. It's not every time I manually add a text caption, just sometimes. It's intermittent.
Thanks
Anita

Hi there
The name will vary from version to version.
Captivate_v10.dat
Captivate_v20.dat
Captivate_v30.dat
Captivate_v40.dat
The location also varies. For me, it is:
D:\Documents and Settings\Rick\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate
As you can see, D is my drive letter. Yours will likely be C. My name is Rick and is how I log in. Yours will be different. Also, the "Application Data" folder is likely to be hidden from your view unless you adjust Windows to show it to you. And all of this is likely in a different location if you are using Vista or Windows 7. I'm using XP Pro.
Note that you cannot edit this file. Captivate does that internally. About all you are able to do is to close Captvate and delete or rename it. Captivate will then cook up a fresh one when it starts up and cannot locate it.
Cheers... Rick

How do I assign images to grid cells based on their random number value?

Hello everyone!
     I need a good point (or shove) in the correct direction.
Background
     I've created (with previous help from this forum) a 12 x 9 random number grid which cycles through the numbers 1 to 9 a total of twelve times each. I've then created a button which shuffles the current grid's cells each time it is clicked. I now want to use 9 images that I have imported as individual symbols into the library (I have given them each their own class titled "skin1," "skin2," ... "skin9") as cell labels or the equivalent. I have also set the images up as individual movie clips (using the .Sprite class as the extended base class but keeping the actual image class names in line with their object name, i.e. the "skin1" image is the "skin1.as" class).
Question
     How do I assign these images to the grid cells based on their respective values (ranging from 1 to 9) and have them populate the grid each time I click the "shuffle" button? So for example, in my grid the numbers 1 through 9 randomly appear 12 times each. Every time the number 4 appears in a cell, I want it to be assigned to the image "skin4" (which is just a graphic that looks like a button and has a fancy number "4" printed on it). Below is a chunk of the code I am using to draw the grid cells with:
// Creates a grid cell when called by generateGrid().
private funciton drawCell(_numeral:int):Sprite
          This is the code I am currently implementing to populate the grids with (although I
          don't want to use text labels as I want to fill each grid with an image according
          to its numerical value (1 to 9).
     var _label:TextField = new TextField();
     _label.multiline = _label.wordWrap = false;
     _label.autoSize = "center";
     _label.text = String(_numeral);
     // Add numerical label to cell array.
     cellLabels.push(_label);
     var _s:Sprite = new Sprite();
     _s.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x019000);
     _s.graphics.drawRect(30, 0, cellW, CellH);
     _s.addChild(_label);
     return _s;
     While the following isn't working code, it will hopefully demonstrate what I want to achieve inside this function so I don't have to use the above snippet for text labels:
     //This will "hopefully" create an array of all 9 images by calling their classes.      var _imageArray:Array = [skin1, skin2, skin3, skin4, skin5 , skin6, skin7, skin8, skin9];      // This is what I want to happen for each cell using the above image array:      for (i = 0; i < cells; i++)      {           if (_numeral == 1)           {                // Insert skin1 image for each instance of #1 in the grid.           }           if (_numeral == 2)           {                // Insert skin2 image for each instance of #2 in the grid.           }           ...           if (_numeral == 9)           {                // Insert skin9 image for each instance of #9 in the grid.           }      }
     Again, I don't want to use text labels. I have a custom skin graphic that I want to go over each number on the grid based on its numerical value (1 to 9). Any help with this is much appreciated!

kglad,
     Thank you for your help with this one. Using the code below, I have successfully populated my grid cells with the desired corresponding graphics. I noticed one thing though regarding my use of the shuffle button with this particular implementation: even though the numerical values residing in each cell get shuffled, the original images remain in the grid rather than being replaced by new ones. The first code snippet below is the revised cell drawing function including your help; the second snippet shows you my simple shuffle button function (where the problem lies, I think).
Snippet #1:
     // Creates a grid cell when called by generateGrid().
     private function drawCell(_numeral:int):Sprite
          var _label:TextField = new TextField();
          _label.multiline = _label.wordWrap = false;
          _label.autoSize = "center";
          // Creates a label that represents the numerical value of the cell.
          cellLabels.push(_label);
          var _s:Sprite = new Sprite();
          _s.graphics.lineStyle(2, 0x019000);
          _s.graphics.drawRect(30, 0, cellW, cellH);
          // Physically adds the labels to the grid.
          _s.addChild(_label);
          // Assigns a graphic class to a cell based on its numerical value.
          var _classRef:Class = Class(getDefinitionByName("skin" + _numeral));
          // Undefined variable for holding graphic classes.
          var _image:* = new _classRef();
          // Lines the images up with the grid cells.
          _image.x = 30;
          // Physically adds a graphic on top of a cell label.
          _s.addChild(_image);
          return _s;
     So far so good (although I question needing text labels at all if they are just going to remain invisible underneath the images, but enough about that for now). This next part is the reason that the images won't shuffle with the cell values, I think.
Snippet #2:
     // When shuffleButton is clicked, this event shuffles
     // the number array and fills the cellLabels with the new values.
     private function onButtonShuffleClick(e:MouseEvent):void
          // Shuffles the number array.
          shuffle(numbers);
          // Verifies the array has been shuffled.
          trace("After shuffle:", numbers);
          // Loop replaces old cellLabels with new number array values.
          for (var i:int = 0; i < cells; i++)
               cellLabels[i].text = String(numbers[i]);
     As you can see, it never replaces the original images that populate the grid. I tried using the _s.removeChild(image) function but that didn't work, nor would copying/pasting some of the code from snippet #1 directly into this function as it would cause another instance of the images to be placed over top of the existing ones rather than actually swapping them out. Any continued help here is greatly appreciated!
     PS Is there a quicker method for posting code into these forums without having to type it all out by hand again (i.e. copy/paste or drag/drop from my .fla or Notepad file directly into this thread)?

Assigning a Numeric Value in a Cell Based on Text in Another Cell

In advance, thanks for your assistance. I'm trying, in vain, to assign a numeric value in a cell based on text (from a dropdown menu) in another cell. For example, in cell A5 I have a dropdown list that includes the options "blue", "red", "white", and "gold." I want cell C15 to be 2 if A5="blue"; I want C15 to be 0 if A5="red"; I want C15 to be 2 if A5="white"; and, I want C15 to be 1 if A5="gold."

Tippet,
This is a job for LOOKUP.
The expression for the Result cell is: =LOOKUP(A2, Lookup :: A1:A4, Lookup :: B1:B4)
The aux. table contains the matches that you assign for the colors.

Jerry

Conditional formatting of a cell based on a value in another cell

I want to change the color of the text in a cell based on the value in a different cell. How can I accomplish this?

drmjdoyle,
There Numbers User Guide, http://support.apple.com/en_US/manuals/#iwork, will show you how to do that. Also, doing a search in these forums will provide many hits answering your question.
Click in the cell you want the color to change: click Format > Create custom cell format, in the first dropdown in that dialog box click Choose Rule, then follow the prompts.
Cordially,

White border in cell when adding background colour.

In Numbers for Mac. When I add a background color there is a white border inside the cell. How do I have the entire cell filled with the colour? I go through, the 'format'menu, 'text','layout', 'border' and 'background colour'.

Use the Cell tab to apply a fill color to the cell instead of applying a background color to the text.

Forms 9i - Cell based formatting like Excel in canvas

Does anyone know how to display cell-based formatting in a canvas, like how excel displays data. Example below
|_____EVENTS_____|_____2002_____|_____2003______|
|jlklsdjfkfsdlk__|_M Oct 13_____|__T Jan 7______|
Etc... Pretty much I am trying to display information is a similar format to notify users of important dates, that they may register for events based on the dates, but I would like to keep it in a excel cell format.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi,
there is no spread table functionality provided within Forms. You can use an OCX (client/server only) or a JTable Java Bean (Web only). If you try to do this with Forms native methods, then you better off creating your canvas as a forms based display and set itn size and location saccordingly.
