Data copying in multiple cells

I transferred a file from a database that will only save reports in Notepad.
I then, cut and paste the data into Excel. However all of the info is merged
into one cell. How can I format this data, so that it will be a simple
worksheet with more than one cell? i.e. Name, SSN, Home address should all be
in different cells

In addition, you can use SSIS import/export wizard to export data into Excel:

  • Copy-Paste Multiple Cells in Cell Editor in BI7 at once

    Dear all
    I am using Cell Editor in Query Designer (BI7.0).
    There are around 200 Rows. And each Cell has got some specific restriction.
    Now, I need to copy a complete column to another column - so all restrictions/formulas of all cells in that column need to get copied to another cell of next column.
    I am able to copy single cell by cell. But, I want to copy the entire column at once and paste it (For example select multiple cells and paste).
    Is it feasible? I am unable to do this.
    Plz help.
    Thanks

    You need to report it to Apple Feedback so it can be logged and put in the queue to be fixed.

    As a alternative you might check out Yoink in the Mac App Store (MAS). When you drag a item, a shelf will slide out on the side of the monitor. You drop the items on the shelf, navigate to the destination then drag item to new location. Fast and simple to use.

    can you guys help me on that.

    With datacopy, you need to specify the member names.
    e.g. datacopy membera to memberb;
    You can use substitution variable, but
    function is not working with datacopy.

  • After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.

    After updating numbers and pages I can no longer copy multiple cells from numbers and paste and match style to pages.  I used to be able to select multipule cells in a row (such as company name, address, etc.) then paste and match style on to a pages letter. I found the paste and match style option in the edit menu, however it will only work one cell at a time. Before the update is was working great.

    For diagnosing purpose thy the procedure in a new user account and see if it works there. You create a new user account in the System Preferences > Accounts. If it works in the new account it is probably a corrupt plist file that needs to be deleted.

  • Copy text from multiple cells

    How do I copy the text (cell contents, not cell) in multiple cells (all at once)?
    I am trying to cut and paste the text from a Numbers table (actually an Excel file opened in Numbers) to a text box in InDesign to create an InDesign table.
    When I select multiple cells and Command 'C', I copy the cells not the content.
    It was easy in Excel... but I am trying to avoid installing 'Office' on my new MacPro!
    Help much appreciated.

    It's handy sometimes to be able to copy cells from Numbers and paste them in other applications, where they appear just as they do in Numbers.  Numbers does that well.
    If you just want the content of the cells as text, you could use an AppleScript. That would not be complicated to write..
    But first, does InDesign have an Edit > Paste Special (or similar) menu choice where you can tell it to accept the pasted material as unformatted text? One sees that in Word, for example:

  • Pasting multiple cells in Numbers.

    I have been searching all day to figure out how to copy cells from several rows and paste them but have the cells now adjacent to one another. This is possible in Excel (it does it automatically). For example, I have numbers in A1, A11, A21 and I would like to copy those 3 numbers (as they are the result of formulas) and then paste them but instead of having 10 empty rows between the numbers (which is what Numbers does) I would like the 3 values to be adjacent in the same column (eg, in B1,B2,B3). I can select the multiple cells I want to copy by holding the command key, but when I paste it keeps the same "format" as the original cells (i.e. separated by 10 rows). I'm using Numbers '09 Version 2.2, on a MacBook Pro running OSX 10.8.1.
    Any help is greatly appreciated!

    Hi Wayne,
    It is a lovely feature of MS Excel that you can copy non contiguous cells and upon paste they become contiguous.
    As for "bigger picture" - I have a large table for analyzing quantitative PCR data...it consists of several rows and columns with formulas for various calculations. What I am analyzing is the expression levels of a number of genes in several samples (for example, 5 genes and I look at the expression of those 5 genes in 4 samples). The "end point" is calculating the RQ value for each gene in each sample, and I then graph the RQ values. Where the non-contiguous to contiguous paste is necessary is that the RQ values are spread out along the rows and columns (the cells in between contain the raw data and other formulas). What I was previously doing was selecting multiple cells within the row that had the RQ values, copying, and then upon paste they would be contiguous. This makes copying and pasting all of the data for constructing the graph very efficient. I have recently switiched to Numbers and am prefering it to Excel...with the exception of this one feature. Yes, copying and pasting one item at a time is possible, but time consuming and error prone compared to the method I was using in Excel. Hopefully this explanation helps in finding a solution.

  • How can I select multiple cells in tableview with javafx only by mouse?

    I have an application with a tableview in javafx and i want to select multiple cells only by mouse (something like the selection which exists in excel).I tried with setOnMouseDragged but i cant'n do something because the selection returns only the cell from where the selection started.Can someone help me?

    For mouse drag events to propagate to nodes other than the node in which the drag initiated, you need to activate a "full press-drag-release gesture" by calling startFullDrag(...) on the initial node. (See the Javadocs for MouseEvent and MouseDragEvent for details.) Then you can register for MouseDragEvents on the table cells in order to receive and process those events.
    Here's a simple example: the UI is not supposed to be ideal but it will give you the idea.

  • Referencing multiple cells and removing duplicate values.

    Hello.
    I have a very complicated question, to be honest I am not totally sure if numbers is capable of handling all of this but it's worth a shot.
    I am working on a spreadsheet for organising a film. I've had the templates for years but I'm now using numbers to automate it as much as possible. Everything was going well until I hit the schedule/callsheet.
    On other sheets I can tell it to "look up scene two" it will then look up the correct row and find everything I need. On the callsheet however I might say "we're filming scenes two, five and nine" and numbers gets confused with the multiple values, Is there anyway around this?
    Also, if there is, I have a more complex question to ask. Is it possible for numbers to find and remove duplicate data? For example lets say scene two and five require Alice, but scene nine requires bob. If numbers just adds that info together it will display the result "Alice Alice Bob", is there a way to get it to parse the text, recognise the duplicate value and remove the unnecessary Alice? 
    I realise that numbers has limitations so it may not be able to do everything I want, however every bit I can automate saves me hours so even if I can only get half way there, totally worth it.
    Thanks in advance for any help you can offer, all the best.

    Ah excellent thank you.
    I've modified it to there are now multiple (well only four for now until I get this in better shape) indexes for finding a scene. And assigning each block to a new row.
    I only have one slight reservation about this. If I create 10 rows, it totally works, most of the time we'll only shoot three scenes a day so it's just blank space... However Murphy's law will inevitable raise its ugly head and put me in a situation where we are shooting 11 scenes in a day. 
    For countif, I think I get what you mean... Kinda. Basicially I would create a cell which combines the character strings from each scene into one long scene. Then I would have 100 extra cells (Lets say 100 so I'll never run out) each linked to the cast list, using the character name as a variable. These cells will each parse through the string to find their character name. If it appears then a true value comes up. This will remove duplicates as each cell will only respond once. So if Alice appears in every scene shooting that day, the cell will still only light up once. Is that it.
    One other question. Whenever I combine filled cells with blank cells. I usually gets the data from the filled cells, with a 0 for each blank cell. Usually this isn't a problem, but if I want to keep this flexible then I'll have quite a few blanks. The actor example above could result in 98 zeroes. Is there anyway to have blanks just not show up at all.
    I'll email the spreadsheet in a moment, a lot of it is still rough and under construction, but you should be able to see where it's all going hopefully.
    Thanks again, you have been extraordinarily helpful. 

  • Maintaining editable state in multiple cells on datagrid

    Hi,
    I'm looking to create a component, (and from the tutorials
    i've read, i imagine a datagrid would be best) where i can change
    multiple cells, keep them in an editable state (visual reminder of
    changes made as well as functionally editable) - and to then flush
    the changes through with a keystroke - just hitting return
    basically. the component would be recieving push data through
    httpservices/webservices, and the user will send adjustments back,
    usually multiple changes at once. i've looked at item renderers,
    but that seems to control more the format/appearance of a component
    than its functions?
    Is this possible to do in flex? i'm assessing alongside gwt,
    and trying to figure just how lowlevel the customisation can go in
    flex. any ideas/tutorials/examples would be very much appreciated,
    cheers!

  • Data copy in Hyperion Planning taking long time

    Hi All,
    good morning.
    I am using data copy in hyperion planning (11 1 2 2) to copy from one scenario to other selecting account annotations and supporting details.
    The essbase part of copying data completed (checked sessions), but when I checked the job console in planning it still says processing for past 2 hrs.
    My java heap size for planning is 1.5GB and the backed database is SQL server
    my suspicion is that the issue was with backend sql. but I don't where to start.
    can anyone please guide me.

    I am working with version 11.1.2.1 and running into the same issue. The Supporting detail option works fine if the application has just a few details, let’s say 50 cells, but if we have around 500 cell with details then the copy process never ends, the details are not copied, and I have to restart the Planning service. As a workaround we are using a two steps process. In the first step we copy the just Essbase using the copy data functionality of Planning (with no data copy options enabled) or by using an Essbase calculation script. For the Supporting Details piece we use the Export for Edit functionality of LCM and export them to an XML file, and then we edit the XML file and change the source member name with the target member name, and finally we use the Import after Edit functionality of LCM. Of course if works only if the Planning application was deployed using EPMA.

  • Update copied to multiple documents

    Hi
    We have a requirement to update a property or value within a document such as expiry date and for this update to automatically copied to multiple documents on different sites and libraries.
    We need to edit a 'master copy' and have this change copied to all other documents based on the 'master copy'. We would appreciate any suggestions. We are thinking of using workflow rules and the update list item action but are unsure if there is better
    options.
    Would we possibly be able to use the document information panel and have the update copied to other documents based on a template?
    Thanks very much
    Tony

    Hi
    Just to let you know, I am considering using a Slist and a custom document information panel.
    The data will be changed in the list and then using a data connection within the document information panel, be copied to the quick parts within the word document.
    The word document will reside on a different site and library and when opened will receive data from the list (master copy), the data will then be copied to the quick parts within the document.
    Does anyone foresee any issues with this approach?
    I would like to refresh the document automatically without reopening the document. Any other ideas would be greatly appreciated.

  • Dblink data copy

    Hi,
    I have 3 instances (instance1, instance2, instance3). DB links exists between instance1 and instance2, instance1 and instance3.
    instance1 <-> instance2
    instance1 <-> instance3
    I want to copy data (some records from a table) from instance2 to instance 3.
    What is the best and optimal way to do this data copy. Can I use some stored procedure in instance1?
    Please suggest.

    I am assuming when you say instance1, instance2 & instance3 they are different database instances. I would like to call it db1 db2 & db3
    If you are referring to multiple instances of same DB (RAC) then all the data is accessible across all instances.
    A simplest way
    - if the number of records are not very high
    - provided table structures are the same across db2 & db3 and
    - you have privileges to write into db3 from db1.
    insert into table@instance3 as select from table@instance2
