Find a range of numbers in one cell and output in another

Here I am again with something I just can't seem to find an answer to:
I need to find the range of numbers in one cell and place that value in another, like so:
Cell A1 says: "3 - 8"
Cell A2 returns: 5
Any simple formula to do this?

Hi gunkie83,
Yvan's formula does perform properly. He stated: Here the decimal separator is comma so Numbers use the semi-colon as parameters separator but the formula is OK. CAUTION, here I left the semi-colons.
Yvan is in France using the French version of iWork. For the U.S.A. semicolons need to be changed to a comas as I have in the following formulae.
=VALUE(LEFT(A,SEARCH("-",A)-1))-VALUE(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-SEARCH("-",A)))
this returns -5
=ABS(VALUE(LEFT(A,SEARCH("-",A)-1))-VALUE(RIGHT(A,LEN(A)-SEARCH("-",A))))
this returns 5
One important observation in cell A2 the text reads as 3 - 8 not 3-8. Also it can be inputted as 3 -8 but not 3- 8. Watch those spaces. Fun huh.
Hope this helps. Again Yvan thank you.
Cordially,
RicD

How to calculate SUM from multiple numbers in one cell

Is it possible to calculate SUM if I want to put multiple numbers in one cell?
Many thanks in advance

you can sum cell by using the sum() function.
you can sum a row:
=sum(1:1)
will sum ALL cells in row 1
you can sum a column:
=sum(C)
will sum all cells in column C
you can sum a list of cells:
=sum(A1, C5, E76, B1:5)
will add together cells A1, C5, E76, B1, B2, B3, B4, and B5

Why when I copy a cell and paste into another it pastes into the middle of three cells?

Why when I copy a cell and paste into another it pastes into the middle of three cells? I was very fond of using numbers as it was straightforward and much better than Excel. But I made the mistake of installing Mavericks and Numbers 3.0. Now it is worse than Word at doing what it thinks it wants to do rather than what you want to do. I can no longer copy a cell and paste it into another. For some reason on pasting, instead of pasting into just one other cell it pastes into the middle of three cells - what the ****?

Thanks Badunit for your quick response
I have found the answer - it is a incompatabilty between CopyPaste Pro and Numbers: -
Thanks dbg1596 - solved my problem with which I wasted a good couple of hours getting more and more frustrated with numbers 3.0
I had the same problem - copy a cell - paste into another cell and it created three vertical cells with the pasted data in the middle
Definitely a problem between CopyPaste Pro - one of the most useful aps on my Mac for the last many years
Once I quit CopyPaste Pro - no problem with pasting in Numbers 3.0
But I use CopyPaste Pro all the time
Have the folks responded to your query?
But I use CopyPaste Pro all the time - hope that it can be sorted sooner rather than later

How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

How do you take pictures from one library and put in another library??

Options:
1. Export from iPhoto A to the Finder, then import to iPhoto B
This gets the photo over, but no versions, no edit history and not all the metadata
2. Use iPhoto Library Manager
This gets everything: versions, edit history and all the metadata.

Click on link in one portlet and open in another portlet

how do you click on link in one portlet and open in another portlet?

Hrmm... This is a IBM Question..
Officially this is a meaningless buzzword promoted by IBM. Portals are some sort of Servlet but IBM incapable of explaining how they differ from ordinary Servlets. Some speculate they are used to present a webpage with many services on it such as a search engine, and news that come from diverse sources. The user is able to dynamically configure the contents and layout of the page much like Netscape home pages
I don't understand what yhour asking..
I am assuming you want to call another servlet (portlet)? That would be absurd to do .. You let the HTTP request and XML file to deal with the response of the portlet

How to set cookie value in one page and retrieve in another page using setA

How to set cookie value in one page and retrieve in another page using setActionListener?
I have tried with following code srcpage.jspx->destpage.jspx
srcpage.jspx
<af:table value="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.collectionModel}"
var="emp" rows="#{bindings.EMPView1.rangeSize}"
first="#{bindings.EMPView1.rangeStart}"
emptyText="#{bindings.DepartmentsView1.viewable ? 'No rows yet.' : 'Access Denied.'}">
<af:column sortProperty="EmployeeName" sortable="false"
headerText="Cookie Testing">
<af:commandLink text="#{emp.EmployeeName}" action="success">
<af:setActionListener from="#{emp.EmployeeName}"
to="#{cookie}"/>
</af:commandLink>
</af:column>
</af:table>
espage.jspx
<af:outputText value="Test Cookie Value: #{cookie}"/>
,Here Test Cookie Value prints the following instead of its original String value
{JSESSIONID=javax.servlet.http.Cookie@7da288, oracle.uix=javax.servlet.http.Cookie@399f62}
I have passed employee name "Robert" to cookie in srcpage.jspx,but it prints "JSESSIONID....." instead of "Robert" in destpage.jspx
Thanks in advance
Kalee

Hi,
"cookie" is a reserved name. If you want to write to a session scope attribute called "cookie" then you have to call #{sessionScope.cookie}. If you want to use EL to set and read from cookies then you will have to use
#{cookie.cookieName}
Note that #{cookie} writes to and returns a map

What matters is the version of iPhoto you have on the different machines. Can you tell us what they are, and what exact error message you get.

Formula to deduct one cell from another cell - simple equation - cant find the answer, formula to deduct one cell from another cell - simple equation - cant find the answer

Could anyone tell me how to deduct one cell from another cell in the numbers application.
Thank you!

to subtract one cell from another you enter a formula in a cell by:
1) click the cell where you want the result to be
2) click the cell that contains on of the operands
3) type the minus sign ("-")
4) click the other cell with the other operand
e.g. if cell A1 contains 5, cell B1, contains 2 and you want the difference of those two cells to be in cell C1....
you would click cell C1 and then type: "=A1-B1" then type the enter key OR
click cell C1 and then type "=", then click cell A1, then type "-", then click cell B1, then type the "enter" key

How do I use the formula = to enter one cell as a % of another cell

I wish to enter into a seperate cell what one cell is as a % of another cell in numbers. How do I enter this % formula into the required cell.
Peter

Jalna,
In "a separate cell" write: one-cell's-address / another-cells-address.
Format separate-cell to %.
Jerry
Edit: I just noticed that your question is about iOS Numbers. So, the answer for iOS Numbers would probably be something like:
Click in "a separate cell". Enter formula mode. Click on "one-cell", select "/" operator, click on "another-cell". Exit formula mode. Format as %.
Can you tell I'm just guessing?

How to get the data from one table and insert into another table

Hi,
We have requirement to build OA page with the data needs to be populated from one table and on save data into another table.
For the above requirement what the best way to implement in OAF.
I understand that if we attach VO object instance to region/page, we only can pull and put data in to only one table.
Thanks

You can achieve this in many different ways, one is
1. Create another VO based on the EO which is based on the dest table.
2. At save, copy the contents of the source VO into the dest VO (see copy routine in dev guide).
3. commiting the transaction will push the data into the dest table on which the dest VO is based.
I understand that if we attach VO object instance to region/page, we only can pull and put data in to only one table.
if by table you mean a DB table, then no, you can have a VO based on multiple EOs which will do DMLs accordingly.Thanks

Can I clone one Mac and restore to another?

My wife has a 2005 17" CD MBP running Tiger which has seen better days and will probably soon give up the ghost. As a short term solution I was thinking of making a clone of the hard drive and restoring it onto a spare 2007 15" C2D MBP that we have.
Will this work or will the different chipsets cause problems?
I intend to use superduper as I already have a licence for this but was wondering if the clone that is made is machine specific, or will it not work because of the different chipsets.
If this doesn't work would another option be to load Tiger onto the spare MBP and then use migration assistant to copy?
Thanks in advance.

Looking at http://www.everymac.com/systems/apple/macbook_pro/index-macbookpro.html it seems that the MBPs in the year you provide could boot to 10.4.9 As long as you have it at least at that then you probably stand a reasonable chance. While installations are nominally machine specific, I am not sure how much they are really. I have taken drives from one machine and put them in a similar machine (e.g., Quicksilver 2000 to QS 2002) and had them run for years with no issues appear. The only thing you can do is try, but I'd say it had a good chance of working.
