Fill empty cell with '0'

Hi,
I have a crosstab table and some of the cells within the table are empty purely because there is no data in the database which is reasonable.
For presenation purposes, what are my options to fill these empty cells with '0'?
I was hoping to find an option to default empty cells to '0', but failed to find such feature.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Tom

Hi Tom
Steps to fill empty cell with '0':-
1. Select intersection cell in cross tab.
2. Go to properties tab.
3. In Text Format section, click on Number Format button.
4. Select Format type is 'Number' and check the Custom check box.
5. Enter 0 in all text boxes(Positive, Negative, Equal to zero, and Undefined).
6. Click ok.
Now you can see 0 in the Emply cells of cross tab.
If you want decimal values, enter 0.00 in Positive box.

How can i do that?

Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn how to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. You have no idea,
do you? Temporal data should use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. Why are you so rude to people? Now we have to guess a everything and try to fix your mess.
There is no generic “id” in RDBMS; it has to be an industry identifier or “<something in particular>_id”. I like the GTIN. Was that useless vague name supposed to be “<something>_cat” as a category scale?
CREATE TABLE Items
(foo_seq INTEGER NOT NULL,
gtin CHAR(15) NOT NULL,
unit_price DECIMAL (12,2),
foobar_cat CHAR(1) NOT NULL
CHECK (foobar_cat IN ('1', '2')),
CREATE PROCEDURE Add_New_Item
INSERT INTO Items
VALUES
(1, 'I2', 5.00, 1),
(3, 'I1', NULL, 2), -- unit price must be 5.00
(4, 'I1', NULL, 2), -- unit price must be 5.00
(9, 'I1', 2.00, 1),
(10, 'I2', 10.00, 1),
(11, 'I2', 5.00, 1),
(15, 'I2', 10.00, 1),
(28, 'I2', NULL, 2), -- unit price must be 10
(30, 'I2', 2.00, 1);
>> rows where cat=2 do not have price and I want to fill it with previous value which cat=1 for every item <<
Rows in a table are not ordered! There is no concept of “previous row” in RDBMS. This is fundamental. Are you using a sequence that you erroneously call “id”?
But that makes no sense! Look at (1, 'I2', 5.00, 1) and then (3, 'I1', NULL, 2). Why does item 'I2' have anything to do with the price of item 'I1'?
Can you explain?
Table named tb
id item_no price cat
1 'I1', 5 1
3 'I1', NULL 2 -- the price must be 5
4 'I1', NULL 2 -- the price must be 5 too
9 'I1', 2 1
10 'I2', 10 1
11 'I2', 5 1
15 'I2', 10 1
28 'I2', NULL 2 -- the price must be 10
30 'I2', 2 1
32 'I2', 10 1
filled table must be like that:
id item_no price cat

Numbers: how do I turn on the feature that fills the cell with typing that was previously used? The previous version had this feature. I could type the first letters of a name in a cell and the entire name would automatically appear.

Numbers: how do I turn on the feature that fills the cell with typing. In the previous versions, I could type a name or word and then a list of names/words with the same letters would appear. I could choose the name/word to enter into the cell. This saved many strokes. If I was typing a word with only one like it previously entered, that word would appear, grayed, and I could simply tab to the next cell, automatically entering that word in that cell. Is this feature in this version of Numbers? The autofill tab 1)I can't turn it on and 2) it doesn't seem to do the same thing.
Thanks.

The developers failed to propagate that feature from version 2 to version 3. I believe it is on the short list of things to be restored in May 2014 or so.
Here's the full list as published by Apple:

I am using a table in Numbers to plot daily graph lines. Mood swings of how I am on the day, i"m a depressive.
If I fill a cell with a step box at say zero it plots the graph. I can't actually set the cell value until the actual day but the graph plots it at zero when I don't want it to plot anything. Is there a work around. so thatbgraph only plots on the day?

The answer is (sort of) in your subject, but edited out of the problem statement in the body of your message.
When you use a stepper or a slider, the value in the cell is always numeric, and is always placed on the chart if that cell is included in the range graphed by the chart.
But if you use a pop-up menu cell, you can specify numeric or text values in the list of choices for in the menu. Numeric values will be shown on the chart. Text values will not.
For the example, the values list for the pop-up menu was:
5
3
1
Choose
-1
-3
-5
The first pop-up was set to display Choose, then the cell was filled down the rest of the column. Any text value (including a single space, if you want the cell to appear blank) may be used instead of Choose.
For charts with negative Y values, the X axis will not automatically appear at Y=0. If your value set will include negative values, I would suggest setting the Y axis maximum and minimum to the maximum and minimum values on your menu list, rather than letting Numbers decide what range to include on the chart. Place a line shape across the chart at the zero level, and choose to NOT show the X axis.

Barry

How to fill an empty cell with the value above

Hello,
Please help me on the following issue related to BEx query and it's output in BEx analyzer as well as on Web.
I am trying to modify a query output where the empty cells are to be filled with the value in the above cell.
e.g. there is a column for transaction number, and this transaction number is the same for three rows, so it turns out to be two empty cells and only appears as if the transaction number applies to the first row only.
not sure how to paste screenshot or attach document but would love to provide more information if the above isn't suffice.
Please advise on what and where to modify in BEx designer.
Thank you for your help!

Thanks a lot...yes, now it works in BEx Analyzer but for some reason doesn't work in the Web view.
Any ideas why is that?
Thanks again for your prompt help.

Needed? Option to Fill Empty Space with Podcasts When Synching to a Device

Hello,
With the new 32 GB capacity of the iPhone 4, I find that I have a lot of remaining space after selecting 10 latest unwatched podcasts. On the other hand, if I select all unwatched podcasts to download, I get a warning that I have exceeded the capacity of the device.
It would be nice if, in iTunes, the following options existed:
1. Fill the empty space with selected podcasts
2. Select 20 unwatched videos from the dropdown (in addition to the other existing options)
3. Enter the number of podcasts the user wants to download for all podcasts.
4. Enter the number of each type of podcast the user wants to download.
There is an option to fill unused space with music, but no similar option for podcasts.
I have submitted to http://www.apple.com/feedback, but I wonder if anyone else has this issue?

AC Adam wrote:
The only way I can think of to work around this might be to dump a lot of photos on the phone when syncing such that they take up an extra amount of space, then manually delete them from the phone interface once I get done.
That or add an App or Apps to take up the space.
I would think there is more eloquent way to do this with through either iTunes or the iPhone.
Nope.

Fill table cells with color % depending on cell content

Hi.
I'm working on a document with a lot of tables filled with percentages. The tables are originally on a Word document and the table cells are tinted according to their content: a value of 20% on the cell corresponds to a tint of 20%. This is done automatically on the Word document through a conditional formatting option that applies a graded color scale. Is there any way to do this in InDesign? I tried placing the tables and tried all options, but the color is not imported. Perhaps a script or a GREP style?
Thank you.

Conditional formatting in Word is done via formula, but in Excel it is handled more "on the surface" and Excel's conditional formatting carries into InDesign nicely via Place or Paste. It could be worth considering moving those tables into Excel.
InDesign doesn't do this kind of formatting as a native function, but it couldn't hurt to ask about possible scripted solutions in the Scripting Forum.

Is there a way to fill a cell with a value based on the selection from another cell?

For example: If have a drop down menu created for Cell A1 with options (Dog 1, Cat 2, Bird 3). Is there a way to fill cell A2 automatically when I select from the drop down menu.
So if I selected 'Cat' in A1, cell A2 would automatically input the 2.

I suggest an extensible method that allows you to add other animals:
This method adds a small table called "Animal Lookup" that matches names (same as in the pop-up menu) with a value.
The table on the left uses this table to retrieve the value based on the animal:
B2=VLOOKUP(A2, Animal Lookup :: A:B, 2, 0)
select B2 and fill down

I have removed line " WHEN PROJET_CODE != 'ID projet'   " , because when I use it, because column is NULL .. it doesn't take the NULL into consideration... and as a results, there is only one line loaded, and not the 3 others !
Now, when I remove line " WHEN PROJET_CODE != 'ID projet'   " , I get the results that I want (4 lines loaded), BUT a BAD file is created (with the first row, the one that starts with 'ID projet' )
I understand that this is normal behaviour with this CTL.
But would it be possible to not put this 'ID projet' line into the BAD file (so that the directory is not polluted with numerous BAD files)
   I was thinking with something like this :   " WHEN NVL( PROJET_CODE, 'none') != 'ID projet' "
       But this doesn't work..
Do you have any advice to provide ?
Thanks in advance

Fill in blank cells with a "junk" value

Greetings
If I have a table with 20 columns, and some rows that have data in varying numbers of the columns
Col1 Col2 Col3 etc
1
4 4 4
3 3
How can I fill in the blank cells with a junk value, say ffff?
I figure its going to involve the IF and IFBLANK functions, but I'm missing something. Perhaps I need to have it fill in a secondary table, instead of trying it with the "live data" table?
Thanks!

If you are trying to do it in the same table you will have to pre-fill all cells with a formula or fill in the blank cells with a formula such as RAND. ISBLANK will not work in this case because you can't have a cell checking itself.
You could do this in a separate table with a formula such as
A1=IF(Table 1:: A1 = "", 10*RAND(), Table 1:: A1) and fill this to all the other cells in that table.

Treating empty cells as missing data in formulae in Numbers '09

I'm working with numerical data where many cells are empty (missing data). My problem is that when I use formula to make calculations, Numbers treats empty cells as zeros, and won't let me search and replace an empty cell with a placeholder (like . in excel).
Any ideas?

When we don't want to display the result of a calculation on a certain condition, we can test for that condition and substitute a different output. In your case, you may have blank input cell and you don't want to display the negative result that would otherwise occur. There are at least two general approaches that you could use. The easiest would be to go ahead and make the calculation and then format all negative results to a font that wouldn't be visible, using Conditional Format. A slightly more complicated way, as Barry described above, would be to test for the blank cell condition and substitute a null string. Here's a graphic of the null string case.
When you have learned a few basic tricks this will all seem easy to you.

How do I create a shortcut to fill cells with the same background colour

I have recently starting using Numbers, being an Excel user for years.
I often fill cells with a yellow background to highlight them.
In Excel you can do this from a simple colour menu in the toolbar at the top.
I have found no quick and easy way to do this in Numbers.
Any advice would be appreciated.
thank you

As far as I can tell there's no direct equivalent of the little paintbucket button in Excel that remembers the last colour you filled with.
One quick and relatively easy way to achieve it would be with an AppleScript:
tell application "Numbers" to tell front document to tell active sheet
try
set active_table to (first table whose class of selection range is range)
on error
display alert "No selection" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
return
end try
tell active_table
set background color of selection range to {62466, 65535, 28003}
end tell
end tell
This could be run from Numbers' script menu (screen grab below) or saved as an Automator Service and run from a popup or keyboard shortcut (eg ctrl-y).
Post back if you'd like to follow up either of those ideas.

Using iPad2 to fill PDF forms with calculating cells

I currently have the PDF Expert app. installed. I have created a PDF form with calculating cells and cells with multiple selections using Adobe Acrobat X Pro. It works on my PC on 2 different PDF reader apps, however when I load it in PDF Expert on the iPad it does not calculate and the multiple selections aren't there. It also does not keep the formatting of the cell. I set the cells up as currency, however it does not show as currency once loaded in the PDF Expert app on the iPad. Is there an app out there for the iPad that will allow PDF form fill in and will also show the cell formatting and calculations? Or is this a limitation caused by iOS? I have also tried Adobe's reader app for the iPad and it doesn't show it on there as well. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

I'd be amazed if you could. I wouldn't think it possible to even open a PDF, much less edit one.

Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

Why can't I get the average function work with empty cells?

The thing that I am having a problem with is that I made a different form that calculates the average no matter how may of the cells have numbers or not and I didn't use an if function. I have tried with this other form and and it calulates as if all the cells where being used. I am using the [*] in both instances but it only works in the one I did earlier.
