Fill series of vertical cells

How do you fill a series of cells in increasing numerical order in Number 3.5?

in cell A1 type "1"
in cell A2 type "2"
select cells A1 and A2 then hover over the bottom edge and drag the yellow dot that appears down as needed
you can enter other patterns:
10
20
Monday
Tuesday
Jan 2012
Feb 2012
1/1/2012
1/6/2012
etc

How to fill a date series but skip cells

How do you fill a date series, but skip cells.

Wayne Contello wrote:
A1 is the starting date
A3=A$1+(ROW()-1)/2
copy cell A3 and paste in A5, 7, 9, etc
Alternatively,
A3 = A1+1
Leave A2 blank
Select cells A2 and A3 then grab the "fill" handle (the little yellow circle) and drag down to fill in the rest of the column with the pattern of alternating date/blank cells

Problems with vertical cell borders and the default table style

When laying out tables in Word, I like to use thin horizontal lines (cell borders) and thick-ish white vertical lines. The vertical white cell borders create a subtle negative space that is less cluttered than the typical boxed-in-all-sides style.
Issue 1.
In Pages, horizontal cell borders seem to take precedence over vertical cell borders so my vertical white line trick doesn't work. Is there a way to force my vertical white cell borders to "show up" over my think black horizontal cell borders?
Issue 2.
So, for the time being, I'm not using vertical white cell borders in tables; instead, I set the vertical cell borders to "none." Unfortunately, when I try to set the default table style using a table with no vertical cell borders, Pages adds the vertical cell borders anyway. Does anyone know a way to get Pages to surrender?

I must apologizes.
It seems that I didn't understand well the problem.

I checked and here, aftere defining a new default format with vertical lines set to none, this format is used when I cvreate a new table.
But the same with horizontal lines doesn't apply.

Cropped image not filling the same size cell

Hi all,
I've been seeing an interesting issue with the print module in LR3. OS is Win7 64-bit BTW.
Take an image, crop it to 8x10, 5x7 or whatever. Go to Print Module and select an 8x10 cell size template or a 5x7 (2) cells sized template.. The image won't fill the cell until you either choose the Zoom to Fill selection. When you uncheck this option, the pic shrinks just a bit. But if you select and unselect Stroke Border, the image will fill the cell without the overlap of Zoom to Fill and not shrink back off the edges of the cells.
Anyone else see this? It didn't work that way in LR2.x. Is this a known bug? Feedback appreciated.
Tony...

I see the opposite: LR2 used to crop to much when Zooming to fill. LR3 fills just right.

Copy cells from next filled row into specific cells

Hi guys,
I am trying to generate unique named forms based on a master list of names. What I need to do is to extract information from the master list into specific cells of the form, and save the file under unique file names, such that each name in the master list
have their own forms to look at.
I am unsure how I can run a macro to copy information from the master list, from the next filled row into the form. I find a lot of information on the reverse process instead, any advice?

Hi John,
I've extracted data from my system such that i have data in 4 columns, name, ID, Designation, and Date attending course. This is the master list.
After the course, I would like their direct supervisor to carry out a review with them. So I have done up a form.
I will like to customize each form such that the supervisor will receive the files with the above four fields filled up, and they can focus on working on the review.
I can choose to input them one by one, but i have a total of about 600 attendees, which makes it tedious and inefficient if I input them one file by one file. So I'm wondering if there is a macro to run to generate 600 different files, saved to the staff's
names with the necessary information being input before the review.
Please advise.
Thank you.

Creating a weekly fill series

Hello, I would like to create a column in Numbers with the cells incrementing by a week on the way down. The series would look like 1/1/10, 1/8/10, 1/15/10 and so on. I can do one daily but would like to have a weekly series. Thanks!

Enter the pattern in cells of the same column then select the cells you entered
and expand as far down as you want :

Fill up or across cells in pages table

Does anyone know if you can "fill" cells with a formula up or across a pages table as you can in numbers?

In Pages 5, you can fill in any direction. Just Select the cell or cells and Drag the Yellow Dot in the middle of the selection border.
In Pages 4, the Fill Handle is always in the lower right corner of the selection, and you can drag / fill in any direction.
If you Fill from the Menu line, use Format > Table > Fill and choose the direction.

Like in the Ping Status (section - 1), I'd like all the cell having text "Not Pinging" should be in RED color.
Also I am facing an issue in the (Section - 4). When the value of $Results is not null I am getting the desired output but when the value is null the text ""There were no Replication Errors"" is not getting displayed in
the HTML body. Instead it comes as "*32" (32 is the number of letters in the text).
Please help me in fixing this ....

Series Fill

I have over 250 dates (in date order) that I wish to insert into a column, using Excel I can use Edit>Fill>Series functions then enter the first date then the last then all the 250 dates are automatically entered for me. Is there any way of doing similar in Numbers as all I can find is under Insert > Fill but as far as I can see no way to enter a Series of either dates or numbers to avoid entering a long list of data in order?
Thanks

I thought that I was clear.
Enter a date in A1: 1/1/2009

I want for example to enter dates sequentially from 1750 to 1850 (one hundred year span) so in cell A1 I entered 1750 then in cell A2 I entered 1751 I then highlighted cells A1 to A100 (to cover the one hundred year span) then clicked Insert > Fill>Fill Down, all that happened was that all the one hundred cells (A:1 to A:100) became 1750 and not A1:1750, A2:1751, A3:1752, A4:1753, A5:1754.............A100:1850.
*1750 is not a date, it's a number !*
For numbers you must fill two cells, select these two cells then apply fill down.
All that is explained in plain English in the *Numbers User Guide* which every user may download thru the Help menu.
If you want something which mimics the XL feature, use this script:
--[SCRIPT fillXcells]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : fillXcells.scpt
déplacer le fichier créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionnez la cellule contenant le nombre de départ
menu Scripts > Numbers > fillXcells
vous demandera quel est le nombre de valeurs souhaitées
et remplira ces cellules avec des valeurs consécutives.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
+++++++
Save the script as a Script: fillXcells.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select the cell containing the starting number.
menu Scripts > Numbers > fillXcells
will ask you how many values are wanted
then it will fill these cells with consecutives values.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.

How to fill column value of a matrix with specific color when there is no value in that specific cell?

Hi All,
I need to create a 5/5 matrix in SSRS report. The data will be :
Col_Side   Col_Header   Col_data
1                  1                1
1                  1                 1
1                  2                1
1                  5                1
1                  5                1
1                  5                1
2                  3                1
2                  5                1
3                  1                2
3                  1                2
3                  1                2
4                   2               1
4                   4               1
5                   1               1
5                   1               1
5                   5               1
So, the matrix column will be Col_Header and matrix row will be Col_Side and count(Col_data) will be on the data.
Finally, it will create a 5 by 5 matrix with Count(Col_data) as its data for each combinations. If there is no combination (for ex: in the above data we do not have no combination of (1,3) , (1,4) , (2,1) etc..) then the matrix will be filling that corresponding
cell with zero.
Here I need to fill the cells with some colors based on some criteria.
I need to fill (5,3), (5,4), (5,5) combination with "Red" color. Like this , I need to give different colors in each of the cells. Here, (5,5) combination will be having 1 in its cell. (5,4) and (5,3) will be having zero in its corresponding
cells. I 'm trying to fill all the 3 cells with "Red" color. But, I am able to fill only (5,5) with "Red" color. Since the other 2 cells (5,3) and (5,4), has zero in their cells, it will not fill the cells with "Red" color.
How can I fill those two cells (5,3) and (5,4) with red color?
I know this is very vague. I have no option to give the picture here..
Please suggest

Hi Julie,
According to your description, there is a 5/5 matrix with three fields: Col_Side, Col_Header, Col_data. You drag Col_Side field to Rows, Col_Header to Columns and Col_data to Data, then filling blank cells with zero using expression. Now you want to fill
(5,3), (5,4), (5,5) cells with red color using expression, but it has no effect on cells (5,3) and (5,4).
According to my test, the expression has on effect on cells (5,3) and (5,4) since there is no corresponding data and the cells are blank. As a workaround, we can insert data for cells (5,3) and (5,4) in dataset, then use expression by following steps:
In the dataset, insert two sets of data (5,3,0), (5,4,0).
Right-click the cell of data, click Text Box Properties.
Click Fill in left pane, click (fx) button, then type the expression like below, then click OK.
=iif(Fields!Col_Side.Value=5 and Fields!Col_Header.Value >=3 ,"red","white" )
The following screenshot is for your reference:
If you have any more questions, please feel free to ask.

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.

Fill in page items after a selection made from a pop up list

Hi,
I am using apex 3.1 with Oracle 10g database. I have an application where I need to fill in page items on a form after a user select something from a popup list.

I foud this example on the web but it's not working for me. Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you,

Hi K,
One way to achieve a result similar to what you are looking for is to use a combination of pop-up menu for the initial choice and a slider or stepper to make the second choice. The example below uses a slider. The formula would be the same for a stepper cell in column B of Main.
Column A contains a series of pop-up menu cells with for choices: -- (no choice yet made), Red, Blue and Green.
Column B contains a series of slider cells, each with the same values: Minimum: 0, Maximum: 3, Interval: 1.
Each cell in Column C contains the formula below, which uses OFFSET, MATCH and the value set by the slider to retrieve the correct value from the Lookup table.
Main::C2, and filled down: =IF(A="--","--",OFFSET(Lookup :: $A$1,B,MATCH(A,Lookup :: $1:$1,0)-1,1))
Results for various combinations of the pop-up and slider cells are shown.

Barry

How can I make fill down command NOT increment values?

Hi,
Is there anyway I can get the fill down command to insert the same value in each cell, rather than filling in an increasing series. It works fine for plain numbers (i.e. if I fill down from a cell containing "1", it gives a column with every cell containing "1").
However, for dates and mixtures of text and numbers it always increments the values - example below:
Doing fill down from cells containing:
1 18 Mar 2009 abc100
Gives:
1 18 Mar 2009 abc100
1 19 Mar 2009 abc101
1 20 Mar 2009 abc102
1 21 Mar 2009 abc103
1 22 Mar 2009 abc104
1 23 Mar 2009 abc105
etc...
How can I keep the dates and "abc100" the same in the filled cells?
Thanks for any help!
Jo

I have no idea how the designers of Numbers determined when to fill down identical values versus incrementing the values. For instance, "abc100" increments in a fill down while "100" and "abc" do not. I, personally, see nothing special about "abc100" that indicates a pattern.
And you are correct that Fill Down is different than dragging the circle. Fill down takes whatever is in the top cell and fills down (either incrementing or not, depending on whatever the rule is the designers chose) while overwriting whatever was in the lower cells. Dragging the circle of a box that covers 2 or more cells fills down from the bottom of the box and it looks for patterns, not just simple increments.
No problem on the search. It isn't always easy to find what you are looking for. I just happened to remember that thread.
