Editing autocomplete entries in Numbers '09
Numbers autocompletes cells' text when I start typing in them. . . which is great, but I have a few misspellings in the list of autocomplete fields it brings up. . . most of which, of course, are at the top of my selections popup for that cell. What I'd like like to do is find the word list Numbers is using and edit it. I can't find such an option in Numbers itself, and I can't find it in Numbers help.
Ideas? TIA.
The autocompletion list is built from the other cells in your table. The list will be different in different tables and in different columns of the same table. The order the entries appear in the list is the order they appear in your table and it is dynamic. For instance, if I type Bag in B2 and Bad in B3, the autocompletion list will start with Bag. If I change B2 to Ball, Ball is now the top of the list (and Bag is no longer on the list).
So, to correct/eliminate the misspellings, you have to correct the misspelled entries in your table. To change the order, you have to change the order in which they appear in your table.

Want to remove some AutoComplete entries in Numbers
I have the latest version of Numbers running on Yosemite 10.10.2. I would like certain autocomplete entries to vanish. Other posts say that you have to fix the cell with the entry, but it seems that as soon as you exit the cell, it is retained forever.
Seems like there should be a way.Hi pws,
Menu > Numbers > Preferences > General > Editing:
Turn off 'Show suggestions when editing table cells'.
I find Autocomplete is annoying (and error-prone) when entering data. I would rather make my own data entries .

How do I restore a deleted autocomplete entry?
I accidentally deleted an autocomplete entry for a form field. Now when I enter the same text, it is not added to the autocomplete options.
If remember form data is enabled then that entry should be remembered unless the site uses autocomplete="off"

In that case you can try the bookmarklet.

Export ical entries into numbers
I would like to export my Ical entries into numbers.
pbm,
welcome to Apple Discussions.
No, you cannot export to Pages. Even if you open the HTML file exported to a folder, you get different "layers" (background, text, images) on separate pages in Pages.
(Why do you want to edit the content in Pages and not in iWeb?)
To print as document, you could just print it from Safari. -
I am having problems removing an autocomplete entry from my address bar; I have tried clearing my history, so it's no longer in that, and I do not have it bookmarked either, so it's not getting the URL from that location either. The autocomplete entry isn't even showing up in the drop down menu, so I can't even scroll through that to delete it.
Basically, I want to be able to type "st" and go to "store.steampowered.com"; however, despite numerous times of typing in "st" and then going down into the drop-down menu to choose "store.steampowered.com", the bar continues to autocomplete "steamtrades.com", which is exceptionally annoying because I do not have that website bookmarked, or in my history, yet it continues to autocomplete to that address, which I do not want it to autocomplete to, and cannot figure out how to remove because I've already cleared my history multiple times, do not have it bookmarked, and it is not showing up in the drop down of the address bar for me to go down and force delete it.Did you try to remove some letters from steamtrades.com to see if that bring this entry up in the drop-down list?
If it is not in the history then it might be present with a typed=1 flag indicating that you have typed or pasted it in the location bar.
You can use the SQLite Manager extension in Firefox to inspect the places.sqlite file to see if this entry comes up in the moz_places table.
*SQLite Manager: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/sqlite-manager/
<pre><nowiki>SELECT datetime(visit_date/1000000,'unixepoch') AS visit_date, url, title, visit_count, frecency
FROM moz_places, moz_historyvisits
WHERE moz_places.id = moz_historyvisits.place_id AND url LIKE '%steamtrades.com%'</nowiki></pre> -
I see people from different ages at my work and every month I need to count how many people from each age I've seen that month. How can I do to give the entries to numbers in a single cell and make numbers count them for me? The final result would be a spreadsheet telling there were 8 people from 20 to 39 years old, 14 peolple from 40 to 59 and so on...

This appears to be an 'input form' using 'Radio Buttons' to select the category. Neither of these features are supported in Numbers '09.
You can input the data on one table and summarize it on a second table, but the input table will continue to hold data for each event.
And by using the Reorganize button, you can hide all but two rows of that table to approximate the appearance and performance of an input form.
Here are the two tables, Data on the left and Summary on the right. Notes below.
The grey-filled columns in both tables are 'working' columns, and may be hidden (as shown in the image below).
Data table:
D1 contains the word "TRUE" (in capital letters). (This row is always shown.)
D2 is empty, or may contain any value except "TRUE" (This row is always hidden under the Reorganize rule.)The rest of Row 2 of this table requires the data shown: a number outside the range to be counted (999), and two checkboxes, both checked.
D3 (and filled down the rest of column D): =AND(OR(B2,C2),NOT(OR(B3,C3)))
The formula returns TRUE only for the first unused row in the table (ie. the first row for which neither checkbox has been checked)
Summary table:
Column A contains labels for the age ranges to be counted.
Column B contains the same information in the form necessary for the formulas in columns C and D. They need a numeric value, and that value must be the largest acceptable value in the range to be counted.
C2 (and filled right to column D, then both filled down to row 5):
=COUNTIFS(Data :: $A,"<="&$B,Data :: B,TRUE)-SUM(C$1:C1)
Two changes from the previous example:
COUNTIFS is used to separate the Native and Foreign counts as well as the age range to be counted.
The amount subtracted from each result is the SUM of the earlier results, and includes the text value in the first cell of the column (which is interpreted by SUM as a zero).
See note below regarding my earlier formula.
When the greyed columns are hidden and the checkbox in the Reorganize pane is checked, the two tables will appear as shown below:
Close the reorganize pane, and the 'data entry form' is ready to use.
To use, enter the age first, then check one of the boxes.
As soon as one box is checked, the row will be hidden, and the next (unused) row will be shown.
Regards,
Barry
Note regarding formula in my earlier post:
The earlier formula will give erroneous results as it subtracts only the count directly above it from its count of persons in the age range 0-n.
In E2 of that table, replace "-E1" with "-SUM(E1:E$1)
Fill down to E8.
Ignore the instructions (in that post) following "Fill down to E8."

Since installing OS5 and iCloud, I can no longer edit calendar entries on iPhone 4.
Yesterday I installed OS5 and iCloud on my iPad, MacBook Pro and iPhone 4. I am able to edit calendar entries (old or new) on both the iPad and MacBook Pro. PROBLEM: there is no longer the option to edit calendar entires on my iPhone 4. I have checked under list, day and month viewing options.
Event details can be viewed but the button to edit is not appearing.
Most (if not all) of my calendar entires were created on my iPhone 4.
If I create a new calendar entry on the phone, I can edit it... but I think once there's a sync the edit option will again disappear. Waiting to confirm that.
I saw a posting about a year ago indicating this had happened before and was due to some mismatched account information, but I've checked each of my products and they all seem to have the same iCloud email and password information.
Is this a glitch or am I missing something? What do I need to change or adjust to be able to again edit calendar entries on my phone?
Please help. It's my lifeline.If it happens again then try some basic steps like these:
Reload web page(s) and bypass the cache to refresh possibly outdated or corrupted files.
*Press and hold Shift and left-click the Reload button.
*Press "Ctrl + F5" or press "Ctrl + Shift + R" (Windows,Linux)
*Press "Command + Shift + R" (MAC)
Clear the cache and the cookies from sites that cause problems.
"Clear the Cache":
*Firefox > Preferences > Advanced > Network > Cached Web Content: "Clear Now"
"Remove Cookies" from sites causing problems:
*Firefox > Preferences > Privacy > Cookies: "Show Cookies"
Start Firefox in <u>[[Safe Mode|Safe Mode]]</u> to check if one of the extensions (Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem (switch to the DEFAULT theme: Firefox/Tools > Add-ons > Appearance).

1.Go to your SharePoint site -> your list.
2.In top ribbon click List tab(List Tools).
3.Towards right you will see option as Form Web Parts, click on it, the three forms will be listed there [New Form, Display Form, Edit Form].
4.Select the one on which you want to increase the width/height.
5.It will open in edit mode, click on Add a Web Part.
6. Click on Forms [Categories] => HTML Form Web Part.
7.After adding the HTML Form Web Part, click on Edit WebPart.
8.Click on Source Editor, Remove all code from it and put an empty HTML table with width and height as per your requirement ex. to increase width
<TABLE WIDTH="800px">
<TR><TD></TD></TR>
</TABLE>
9.Save the form and check out your respective modal by clicking on the same in your list view.

Hi,
When I open iWeb, I can edit the other pages in my site, but the Blog Entries page either won't load, or will load partially. I can't see past entries or edit new entries.
If I can see the Add Entry button, and I click it, iWeb crashes.
Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks!I have seen a similar problem today.
We have our blogs hosted at wordpress.com. In Contribute 6.5 (never before having touched the blogs in it) I went to add my blogs, entered my wordpress login details. Contribute spent a bit of time loading stuff. Then I had to go to lunch and shut Contribute down without editing anything.
When I got back I was informed by my colleagues that all of out blogs (which they had subscribed to be email) had sent them emails that were essentially empty. At the time I assumed that they got them because they are also blog admins.
On our test blog (which is hidden) I did a test post. It posted OK but when I tried to edit both an existing post and the post I had just done Contribute responded that I did not have a connection to that site. I noticed that the domain had changed from http:// to https:// - I've looked for a way to tell Contribute to see these as the same but can't find any.
Then we got feedback from a customer that he'd got the emails as well. So it appears that ANY activity by Contribute is triggering wordpress to send these updates. And from what I'm seeing now it does it whenever I connect with ANY of the blogs. -
I have a site written with JSP to manage the Student information.
In the same page, I designed : both input the new student info. and show the list of students
have aldready been in database (if I submit the new info, it will be displayed in this list).
My question is:
In the show list field (can I use a Table?), I want to edit the entry content of each student by clicking on that entry.
Please tell me how can I do that? (I don't want to mention to the database, just to the interface)
If anyone knows that, please help me. Thanh you very much!This is not a dumb question...
You cannot "change" an entry's category.
You will need to recreate the entry in the new category and delete the old entry from the previous category.
Make sure you have the admin console enabled to give yourself more controls.

Can't make Table that will accept letters - default entry is numbers
Hey folks, I'm a relative newbie to Numbers and I'm tearing my hair out trying to find answers to a simple question (which isn't helped by Apple's idiotic, IMO, insistence on calling its programs simple words that yield 650 bazillion results in Google...and you then have to sift through about a billion pages of unrelated information).
How in **** do you enter data into a Table that isn't number-based?! I can't find any way to set the cells in 'Sheet 1' to 'text' data entry (as opposed to numbers). When I click over to the Table in question, the only keyboard that pops up contains numbers. (The Help file is useless - it only talks about entering numbers in the Table you've created. I know this is possible b/c somehow I set up another Spreadsheet that would take Text entry in the Table. I can't for the life of me remember how I did it and I can't find a way to simply copy that Spreadsheet, then delete all the info, and re-use it.)
When I enter letters into cells in the spreadsheet itself, they then show up just fine in the Table - but then the next record defaults right back to the numbers-only keyboard. Again, the only mention in Help is how you can enter text in Sheet 1, not in a Table.
AGGGH!

tap teh grey bar above th column you want to be text only.
Tap the "i" button
tap Format
Tap text
On ocassion I have had to format as number, then back to text to make it "take".
btw, when "googling" for items like Numbers, use "iwork Numbers", or include the word "Apple" in the search. this will usually bring you back far more relevant results.
For duplicating an existing file, go back to the main spreadsheet list, and click the "plus" button while your spreadsheet is directly above it. This will give you the option to make a new spreadsheet from a template (including blank) or duplicate the workbook above. I do beleive this is in the help file.

Applescript: Make iCal entry from Numbers spreadsheet
I use a spreadsheet to book all my photography shoots. The columns (name, phone, email, job date, job time, job address, job city, services, notes) are inputted each time a client calls to book a shoot.Once they are booked, I create a new iCal entry for the "job date" with the title name being a slimmed down version of the services (ie, the client might have wanted photos, virtual tours, and prints, but for on site work, given that I will not be printing anything, I leave out the print from the title). So the final title might look like this: "photos, virtual tours @ 3pm". I also add the full address including the city into the iCal "location" field (just below the title field). Then I'll make sure that the date and time correspond to the spreadsheet. Next, I'll set it to a calendar I have made for these bookings. Finally, I'll add the services and notes to the "note" field at the very bottom of the iCal entry. Then click DONE.
Can someone help me write a simple script that would read a preselected row in the numbers spreadsheet and, once initiated, would create a new iCal entry? Thank you.Thanks John. Yes, so I edited it a bit and made a few minor changes (basically adding some info to the notes section in the iCal entry). I've posted the code below. A couple minor tweaks would make this perfect: First, I'd prefer to simply selected one of the cells on a given row and then run the script--at that point the script would know to copy that entire row. I know this is possible because I have a script that does this... I'm just not sure how to integrate that part of the script with yours. I've posted the script below yours.
Second, I'd like iCal to open the newly added entry so I can have a quick review of it. Currently there's no indication that it's been added and, which iCal does appear to initiate (if it was closed down), it does however remain in the background.
Your script (with some mods):
set myCal to "TEST" -- calendar name
set myLength to 2 -- hours
set myItems to my cjmTIDs(the clipboard, tab)
if (count of myItems) is less than 12 then return
set jobDate to date (item 4 of myItems)
set timeArray to my numberFromHourText(item 5 of myItems)
set hours of jobDate to (item 1 of timeArray)
set minutes of jobDate to (item 2 of timeArray)
set jobEnd to jobDate + (myLength * hours)
set myTitle to (item 1 of my cjmTIDs((item 11 of myItems), "prints"))
set myNotes to "Client: " & (item 1 of myItems) & return & return & "Tel: " & (item 2 of myItems) & return & return & "Services: " & (item 11 of myItems) & return & return & "Notes: " & (item 12 of myItems)
set myURL to (item 3 of myItems)
set theAddress to (item 6 of myItems) & ", " & (item 7 of myItems) & ", " & (item 8 of myItems)
tell application "iCal"
set myNewEvent to make new event at the end of events of calendar myCal with properties {start date:jobDate, end date:jobEnd, summary:myTitle, location:theAddress, url:myURL, description:myNotes}
end tell
on cjmTIDs(theText, theDelim)
set my text item delimiters to theDelim
set myList to text items of theText
set my text item delimiters to {""}
return myList
end cjmTIDs
on numberFromHourText(theText)
set theParts to my cjmTIDs(theText, ":")
if (count of theParts) is 2 then
set myHours to item 1 of theParts as number
set myMins to ((characters 1 thru -4 of item 2 of theParts) as text) as number
else
set myHours to ((characters 1 thru -4 of theText) as text) as number
set myMins to 0
end if
if character -2 of theText is "p" then set myHours to myHours + 12
return {myHours, myMins}
end numberFromHourText
The other script that I mentioned (the one that knows to copy the entire row by just selecting a cell):
set theTemplate to POSIX file "/Users/Peter/Library/Application Support/iWork/Numbers/Templates/My Templates/TEST.nmbtemplate"
tell application "Numbers 09"
tell table 1 of sheet 1 of front document
set theValues to value of cells of row 1 of selection range

How to avoid same entry in numbers
I am using a numbers file to organize my client. However, I entered one client more than one time. How can I avoid making the same entry / alert for entering the same entry?
Is there any solution?
Thanks for mac fans supportAssuming your list is in column B, then in a cell in another column, enter this formula:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(INDEX(B,COUNTA(B)+ROW(B)-1),OFFSET(INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(B),COLU MN(B))),0,0,COUNTA(B)-1),1,FALSE),"No Duplicate")
This formula alerts you if the last item in the list was already entered. Note, it only checks the last item in the list, so if the list has 10 entries and 2 and 3 are duplicates, this formula will not alert you.
I also added a Conditional Format to make it more apparent when the value of the formula cell changed.
