Drag copy cells in numbers

Right, am I being thick or has numbers changed??
I'm trying to copy a figure in one column to several rows below it,
eg: A1 reading £20 to A15 all reading £20
I did this before by going to the bottom right hand corner of the cell and dragging it down the column
doesn't work now.
Anybody got a solution?
Thanks

Yes, Rob, the corner handles of a selection are now dregged to extend the selection and the middles are dragged to Fill.
You may find the corners are still useful bacause there are some addresses that can't be typed into expressions due to the auto-completion of function names and the confustion that results when you type a cell address that begins with the same letter as a function name. (A bit of a bug.)

Copy cells from Numbers to others apps

I am using Numbers to manage big amount of datas.
With the latest Numbers version I can copy and paste in the same/between Numbers documents but the paste doesn't work outside Numbers.
Try do do a table with 4000 rows, fill the cells of one column with something -one char is enough-, copy the column and let me know if someone is able to paste the copied datas outside Numbers. The copy and paste works with 3999 rows.
BTW: with 2 columns I am able to copy/paste 1999 rows. Copying 3 columns, 1334 rows can be moved. …4 columns? 999 rows!
The number of chars copied is insignificant. Ah! Excelling...oops outranging the above limits the paste command, in the target app, is greyed out.
What am I missing?

Wowwowwowowowowowo!
The new 3.1 (1769) version works!
...and it seems more and more and more faster than the previous release!
Thank you iWork team.

What formula automatically copy cells in numbers

what formula automatically copy cells in numbers

Its a matter of how you enter the formula (and not entirely intuitive). Do NOT manually add any quotes - Number does that for you. Just leave the text area blank for boolean value. If you actually type in the quotes, it reads them as a text value.

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.

Numbers- How to copy cells incl borders

Hi All
Tying to copy and paste cells in numbers and the cell borders dont paste for some reason.
Can you advise me how to do this please?
Thanks
Drew

Thanks Wayne but it doesn't work for me. Using the above routine just copies and pastes the borders of one cell... no contents either.
I have got around it by going into pages and pasting it there and it works beautifully. So it obviously copies both contents and borders but why wont it paste them back into numbers?
Regards,
Jim

Copying a website into a cell within numbers

Trying to copy and paste a website into a cell within numbers such that one clicks on the cell

It doesn't seem to recognize all links properly. For example I have trouble with links with https:// as opposed to http://.
If you've pasted the link into, say, A2, you could try, in another cell, entering
=HYPERLINK(A2)
It seems to help to have this turned on (in the Edit menu):

Dragging one cell value(copy) across columns or across rows in ALV layout

Hi friends,
In bps layouts, data is displayed in ALV grid as interface. At plng folder level, can i incorporate excel feature like dragging one cell value across columns or across rows? Simply if user enter one value in cell of ALV grid, that should be copied automatically across rows/columns while dragging?
Second question, even i chose in layout builder excel as interface, that layout showed in plng folder as ALV grid layout. Why it happens so. I read documentation in UPSPM of that particular plng folder, it tells same thing(even if u choose excel, it will show in ALV only). So how can i get excel interface in plng folder?
Regards,
Kumar

requested property is not possible at ALV layout level. Provided text document load facility to user. So user can directly load excel to plng folder.
Issue resolved.

How to print a specific cell in numbers

how to print a specific cell in numbers?

Copy the cell (contents), Paste onto a page of a separate document, or onto a separate sheet of your Numbers document, Print.
Or insert a single cell table onto your Numbers document, type an = sign in the cell then click on the cell you want to print. Drag the new table to a second sheet, set up your page there, and print.

How can I copy cell formatting from one range to another?

How can I copy cell formatting from one range to another, including text fonts, colours, borders, etc., so that, for example, I can reuse a formatted reconciliation table again in different parts of a sheet?

Hi George,
Wayne found the Spinning Beachball of Death, and you will find it too.
Numbers is not good at handling large datasets. Might I suggest that you group your data into smaller sets (each month, perhaps?) and save each group in a separate Numbers document. Numbers will not link between documents, but you could have a summary Table within each document. Then comes the "clunky" bit of copying all those summary tables into a master document where you do the final processing of the data.

Ian.

How can I insert an image into a cell in Numbers for iPad?

Hi,
is there any way to insert an image inside a cell using Numbers for iPad? I tried doing it on desktop version and it works, then I shared it through iwork.com and downloaded into my iPad and it's showing fine on the iPad ( although there's no way to edit or change the image inside the cell ) but when I try to do the same task on iPad itself, the image always comes floating even if I place the cursor inside a cell before inserting.
any idea how to do it or if it's even possible?
thanks.
John

Images can be added to cells only as "image fill." Cell fill is an attribute of the cell, not content of the cell. Only cell content can be retrieved by a formula or by copying the content of the cell.
Copying the cell will also copy its format, including the image fill, but I've found no way to extract the image from the cell.

Barry

How do i print selected cells in numbers?

how do i print selected cells in numbers?

As I'm lazy, I use this script and paste where I want.
--{code}
set the clipboard to (the clipboard as «class PDF »)
--{code}
I made a test which gave a funny result.
Given a Numbers document with a chart.
I selected the chart, the title and the legends
then I grouped these objects.
Select all
copy
run the script
I pasted in the sheet to be able to take a screenshot.
It's a bit inconsistent.
Text values are passed when they are in cells
They are passed when they are used as value labels in the chart
but they aren't passed when they are chart's title or legend's components.
Funny behavior, the graphic symbols are moved in the process to the location where they would be if the text components were nil strings.
No comment upon a table's title which can't be selected with the table itself.

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!
Best,
K

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.
Best,
K

How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula?

hi everyone
i need help
How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula in the cells?

Ok... I see your problem... when pasting into Pages, the formulas from Numbers are included. Perhaps this is really more of a Pages question (in which case I'm far from expert). A couple of ideas:
• In Pages, try "Edit"/"Paste and Match Style", which may insert tab delimited cell values (no formulas). Then, if you want the table format back, select these newly pasted tabbed values and use Page's "Format"/"Table"/"Convert Text to Table"/
• In Numbers, before copying, make a temporary table of the plain values first, then copy and paste that into Pages. To do this, select the range of cells you desire in the Numbers and "Edit"/"Copy". Then "Edit"/"Deselect All" and "Edit"/"Paste Values" and "Edit"/"Cut". Now just a table of values is on the clipboard and you can head over to Pages to paste.

Copy cells and past as picture in pages

How do I copy some cells that have calculations in them, then paste to Pages? In Excel when you go to paste, you get a menu paste as picture. Them you just get the cells as they look in Numbers. If you paste from Numbers it shows cell layout but the cells that have calculations in them only show a triangle error message. Any one know how to do this.

Hello Badunit
I always get the red triangle when I paste in Pages a table or a piece of table embedding references to cells which aren't in the pasted range.
This why once I asked Apple to make a small change in Numbers:
Replace Paste Values Only by Copy Values Only
With such change,
Copy - Paste in Numbers would not change
Copy - Paste Values Only in Numbers would be replaced by Copy Values Only - Paste in Numbers
Copy - Paste in Pages would not change
Copy Values Only - Paste in Pages would replace the trickery which we must use at this time.

Auto copy cells to second sheet

hi, good people!
is there a way to auto copy cells in second sheet.
i have many rows with data, i want from my sheet1 colum C copy all rows that contain name "apr" to sheet2, and if i add new row with name "apr" it will auto copy it to sheet2... is there a way to do that in iwork
tnx!

What you're looking for is called a "Breakout Table." Here's an example, based on your layout above, but with generated pseudo data replacing what's in your image above.
Main represents your data table. Summary is the breakout table that collect each row of data whose date is in April, 2013.
Formulas:
Main contains no formulas.
Index creates a single column list of numbers to serve as an index of rows containing data within the month noted in A1 of Summary.
Formula in B2, then filled down the the end of the single column:
B2: =IF(AND(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,ROW()-1,0)>=Summary::$A$1,OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,ROW()-1,0)<=EOMONTH(Summary::$A$1,0)),MAX($A$1:$A1)+1,"-")
Summary uses MATCH to read theindex and transfer data from all rows of Main whose date falls within the month defined by the Date and Time value in A1. (see note below). The MATCH result is used by OFFSET to determine the row of Main from which to obtain data for the current row of Summary.
Formula:
A2: =IFERROR(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH(ROW()-1,Index :: $A,0)-1,COLUMN()-1),"")
Fill right to column D, and down to the end of the table.
Results as shown.
Notes:
The data in columns B, C and D are constructed to make it easy to see what row and colun that data came from.
MATCH is set to find (exact) values. If the exace value is not found, an error message will be generated. the error is trapped by IFERROR, and a hyphen is placed in the cell.
All dates shown including Summary :: A1, are Date and Time values, with the formatting set to not display the time part of that value. The date in Summary :: A1 is the first of the month you wish to have incuded in the summary. The cell is formatted to show only the month and year of that date.
All functions used are listed and discussed in the Numbers '09 User Guide, which can be downloaded via the item of that name in the Help menu in Numbers '09.
