Finding cells in Numbers?

I have a list of names in different cells in numbers and I want to identify certain names with totals in them. How can i do that? Like the cells might have names like bob in one carol in one sandy in one and I want to find all of the Bob cells.
Does this make sence?
Thanks

I do want to sum up the cells. The cells that I want to do it with are mixed in the list of other cells. Column a has the different names in each cell. Column c has the dollar amount. I want to be able to sum all of a certain name in column a.
Thanks

When I look up email addresses in Outlook 2010 on my pc, it only finds cell phones. How do I get it to find email addresses automatically?

When I look up email addresses in Outlook 2010 on my pc, it only finds cell phones.numbers. How do I get it to find email addresses automatically?

Addl question: when I DO send an email from the address book, they are all coming back with the msg:
The following recipient(s) cannot be reached: & None of your e-mail accounts could send to this recipient.
But when I type in the exact same address manually, it goes thru just fine.

Tab past locked cells in numbers?

does anyone know if you can lock individual cells in numbers? i need to be able to navigate from unlocked cell to unlocked cell avoiding all locked cells.
it's easy in excel, we use complex vlookup formulas that return information to other cells and need to protect those formula cells from accidental deletion. protecting cells is also a nice way to limit tabbed navigation to unprotected cells only.
does anyone know if i can do this with numbers, can't seem to find anything that suggest it can do it.
thanks...

Apparently cell locking is not supported. From Macworld's review:
"There are also quite a few power user features missing from Numbers, such as custom number formats, pivot tables, cell naming, *cell locking*, password protection, splitting windows, and text orientation within a cell, among others."

How can I disable "return key moves to next cell" in Numbers 3?

I want to create a new line inside one cell. I'm using Number 3.5.2 on Yosemite.
In Numbers 2 there was an option whether I wanted the "return key [to move] to next cell", which I was able to disable.
Does this feature exist in Numbers 3? I haven't found it. If not, does anyone know a workaround? I could not find this question on the forums (for the current version of Numbers).

Hi Keith,
That feature has gone in Numbers 3.
To insert a new line in a cell in Numbers 3, type option enter.

Ian.

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.
See the Numbers '09 User Guide for other useful tools and techniques. Download the guide via the Help menu in Nuimbers.

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

Counting words in a single cell in Numbers'09

Hi there,
I'm relatively new to Mac world, but I do have years of computer experience from a PC and have also had to do with Macs at the age of first eMacs . I have finally decided to switch to the brighter side of life (hopefully ;)).
But here is my question: I need to count words in a cell in Numbers'09.
Is there a specific function combination for achieving this? My idea was: strip excessive spaces, count the occurencies of all space character in a cell, add 1 and voila! Problem is I can not achieve it using formulas in Numbers'09. I have found some help for Excell but the formulas are a little different. And well, I would like to leave the past behind and stick to a Apple programs - if I can. I don't like the idea to install Excell on a Windows Bootcamp partion only for this purpose.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

An easy soluce for foreign users (like me) is to duplicate Numbers.app and remove its languages resources minus English.
Running it you will have it running in English (minus the decimal and the parameters separators, minus also date time formats and default currency).
It would be easy to enter the formulas given in this forum.
Once saved, we may open the doc in the 'standard' Numbers and the formulas will be automatically localized.

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.

How do i lock cells in numbers

How do I lock cells in Numbers? I'm trying to create a spread sheet that will have unused cells and I want to lock them so my associates don't accidentally fill them in and cause the finished product to look muddled.

Wayne,
I previously could lock tables in my Numbers tables in my Spreadsheets by tapping the top left corner and it would show up as an option to lock it. As of Numbers 2.0 (noticed today), I get the option to unlock tables, but not to relock them after making the corrections.
Any thoughts?
Thanks!

Hello, I would like to know how to add or delete single cell in numbers.

Hello, I would like to know how to add or delete single cell in numbers.

If by delete you really mean clear the contents of a cell, then just click once on the cell and hit the 'delete' button.
Before:
After hitting delete button:
In some circumstances you can actually delete one cell.
For example here, I make this choice:
Resulting in this:
So it's not strictly true that Numbers does not delete one cell, ever. It can if you have a one-column table.
So never say never or not ever! Enough pedantry for today!

Finding missed sequence numbers and rows from a fact table

Finding missed sequence numbers and rows from a fact table
Hi
I am working on an OLAP date cube with the following schema:
As you can see there is a fact transaction with two dimensions called cardNumber and Sequence. Card dimension contains about three million card numbers.
Sequence dimension contains a sequence number from 0 to 255. Fact transaction contains about 400 million transactions of those cards.
Each transaction has a sequence number in 0 to 255 ranges. If sequence number of transactions of a card reaches to 255 the next transaction would get 0 as a sequence number.
For example if a card has 1000 transactions then sequence numbers are as follows;
Transaction 1 to transaction 256 with sequences from 0 to 255
Transaction 257 to transaction 512 with sequences from 0 to 255
Transaction 513 to transaction 768 with sequences from 0 to 255
Transaction 769 to transaction 1000 with sequences from 0 to 231
The problem is that:
Sometimes there are several missed transactions. For example instead of sequence from 0 to 255, sequences are from 0 to 150 and then from 160 to 255. Here 10 transactions have been missed.
How can I find all missed transactions of all cards with a MDX QUERY?
I really appreciate for helps

Thank you Liao
I need to find missed numbers, In this scenario I want the query to tell the missed numbers are: 151,152,153,154,155,156,157,158,159
Relative transactions are also missed, so I think it is impossible to get them by your MDX query
Suppose this:
date
time
sequence
20140701
23:22:00
149
20140701
23:44:00
150
20140702
8:30:00
160
20140702
9:30:00
161
20140702
11:30:00
162
20140702
11:45:00
163
As you can see the sequence number of the last transaction at the 20140701 is 150
We expecting that the first transaction of the next day should be 151 but it is 160. Those 10 transactions are totally missed and we just need to

Can I draw within a cell in Numbers on iPad?

Hello
I haven't bought the app yet. But an important feature for me for my work, would be the ability to draw (handwrite) within a cell in Numbers.
Could anyone please tell me if this is possible?
Many thanks.

No, you can't handwrite within a cell. All data entry is via keyboard interfaces.
