Get data to fill inseperate cells when pasted?

I was coping information from a bullet point list and it was entering on spreadsheet template in seperate rows in one column but now is entering all copied info to the first row not spliting into seperate rows dont know what i have done?

you provide detail about:
1) Where is the bullet point list? (In a document, Website)
2) What application are you copying the data from?
I have found that if you copy tables and lists from a website that Safari will correctly copy, and paste into Numbers. Firefox does not. If the source is something else I suggest pasting as text into a blank email, or text document in "Text Edit" or Pages, then make sure all the delimiters separating the columns are tabs. Then copy from there to a Numbers table

Hello there stidhambr15,
I was researching the issue you are having and recommend a couple of things. First it might be a good idea to reset the device following iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting found here http://support.apple.com/kb/ht1430
Resetting your device
Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button together for at least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
If that doesn't quite get the device going again, I recommend restoring the device.

Might even be a good idea to turn off the phone, reseat the SIM card, and turn it back on.

Have a problem in Numbers with entering data directly into a cell when a table reaches a certain size and special characters are used?

I am creating a list of words with special characters in some of them. I get to a point where I cannot enter data directly into the cell. I have to use the data entry bar at the top in the toolbar. Any solutions available?
This is the table I am creating...
From row 25 on, I am only able to enter data into the cell through the toolbar at the top and not directly into the cell itself. I believe that this problem originates from the special characters I have inserted in the previous records because if I do not use special characters, then the spreadsheet acts flawlessly. Have there been issues in Numbers with data entry, the size of a table, and using special characters?

I would try removing the rows with "special" characters one at a time to see which one is causing the problem

How do I get a value of a cell when user selects in a JTable?

Hi everybody,
I need some help in order to complete my task. I 've a JTable. When user selects any particular column . I should able to get user selected value. I added a MouseListener to the table. And I 've written the following code - in mousePressed()
JTable table = (JTable) e.getSource();
iint col =JTablePartNumbers.getInstance().getSelectedColumn();
int row = JTablePartNumbers.getInstance().getSelectedRow();
System.out.println("row col value" +JTableModelPartNumbers.getInstance().getValueAt(row,col));
I'm getting col and row value but when I'm using TableModel.getValue(row,col) - it is giving me null value.
And my getValueAt() method is defined as
public Object getValueAt( int nRow, int nCol )
     System.out.println("the nRow" nRow "And nCol " nCol "And row count" + getRowCount());
     int rowCount = getRowCount();
     System.out.println("the row count" +rowCount);
if ( ( nRow < 0 ) || ( nRow >= getRowCount() ))
     return null;
          // Taking
          StartNewRevisedGenericSGMLFragmentsModel row = (StartNewRevisedGenericSGMLFragmentsModel) partNumberDetails.elementAt( nRow );
     //     System.out.println("row value" nRow "Col value" +nCol);
          switch ( nCol )
               case 0:
               return row.getParNo();                               case 1:
                    return row.getRev(); // gets model data
               case 2:
                    return row.getDoneDate( );// gets revision data
          Vector rowVec = (Vector) partNumberDetails.get(nRow);
     return (String) rowVec.get(nCol);
so please help me out resolving this problem.
Thanks in advance

try calling jtable.getSelectionModel().addListSelectionListener(...)
by the way, any good design of a generic UI Table must have a feature to do what you're talking about in an easy way. If it didn't, why would anyone use it?

How to get the background of a cell when clicked

Hi all,
I need to know how I can get the background color of each cell when mouse clicked, I need that because I have to send that color to another table show the whole table with the same background.
Any ideas?
For the source table cell I am using this renderer:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JTable;
import javax.swing.table.TableCellRenderer;
public class ColorRenderer extends JLabel implements TableCellRenderer {
    public ColorRenderer() {
        setOpaque(true);
    @Override
    public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected, boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
        if (value != null) {
            setText(value.toString());
        if (isSelected) {
            setBackground(table.getSelectionBackground());
            setForeground(table.getSelectionForeground());
        } else {
            setBackground(new Color(181, 198, 223));
            setForeground(Color.black);
            boolean theSame = true;
            for (int i = 1; i <= row; i++) {
                if (!table.getValueAt(i, 0).toString().equals(table.getValueAt(i - 1, 0).toString())) {
                    theSame = !theSame;
                    break;
            if (!theSame) {
                setBackground(new Color(239, 206, 179));
        return this;
}

how I can get the background color of a cell when mouse clickedAttach a mouseListener to your table. In that listener find the clicked cell through myTable.rowAtPoint(MouseEvent.getPoint()) dto. with column.
Then myTable.getCellRenderer(int row, int column), and in the renderer you look for the colour.

How do you keep cells in a certain format when pasting data into them?

Greetings all-
My first time to use the forum!
I am trying to paste data I have copied from a website into Numbers. One of the fields is text that reads like a fraction: "15/003" is an example.
Even if I have formatted the column to be "text", when I paste the data into the spreadsheet, the affected cells in the column reformat to be "Automatic" and so I get dates and other converted numbers. In the case of "15/003", it converts to "5". I don't want that. In the case of "12/003", it turns it into a date: "2011.12.03". I don't want that either!
If I THEN go to reset the column to "text", the original text is lost and I cannot reconvert the numbers back to their original format.
In Excel, the cell remains formatted.
I am fluent in Excel and new to Numbers.
I like the power of the conditional formatting in Numbers and would like to use it. If I cannot import the data without Numbers deciding what is best for me, then I'll have to stick with Excel.
But I'm sure there's a trick to it somehow.
What do I need to do to keep my intended formatting?
Cheers!

Salut, Yvan....
Thank you for the offer.... unfortunately, it's in an 'employees' only folder' and hence I can't get it to you in the raw form.
However, I'll give you the scenario and then an example....
I am a transit operator- I drive for the public transport company. It is time for us to bid on our upcoming shifts and I have used Excel in the past to weed out all the work that I definitely don't want and highlight the stuff worth considering.
One of the key pieces of information I need is the route involved. Another is the actual bus, or "run" as we call it.
It is written like a fraction. Run/Route. Hence if it is bus or run 12 on the Route #3, it is written "12/003". Even though I have the whole column set up to be text, when I 'paste and match style', it reverts back to automatic, sees that as a basic fraction and reduces it to "4", or else recognizes it as a date and gives me 2011.12.03. In this case, "12/003", it renders a date. The inspector even allows me to choose the date format.
So I reset the column back to "text" and nothing happens. The all important block/route information is lost.
I've tried to cut and paste an exact example into this thread but even that doesn't work so I'm afraid what I have written here will have to do.
This is really weird- if I simply type directly into the cell "12/003" it stays as text. It's in the pasting that it gets all screwed up.
A little more sleuthing and I've found that all the data (over a thousand rows of data) is all HTML code- published from an Excel file using a web publisher wizzard.
An example:
<tr height=19 style='mso-height-source:userset;height:14.25pt'>
<td height=19 class=xl424807 style='height:14.25pt'>1001</td>
<td class=xl154807>SS</td>
<td class=xl424807>001</td>
<td class=xl154807 x:str="Mo Tu We Th Fr ">Mo Tu We Th Fr </td>
<td class=xl424807> </td>
<td class=xl154807>12/003</td>
<td class=xl424807>VTCT</td>
<td class=xl154807>4:22</td>
<td class=xl424807>12:25</td>
<td class=xl154807>MAR&MN-T</td>
<td class=xl424807> 8:03 </td>
<td class=xl154807> 8:35 </td>
</tr>
I just had a brainwave- Since it was first created in Excel, I pasted the data as I see it into Excel and then copied it and pasted it (Not matching style) into Numbers. Voilà! It worked!
But it kinda defeats the purpose of getting Numbers so I don't have to use Excel, doesn't it?
Any ideas?

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

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. How do I do that if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which is beyond the 14 days from my purchase date?

I purchased an iPad mini on October 10th. I want to return it and get the new ipad mini retina when it comes out. I am currently still within the 14 day return/exchange window but how can I exchange it if the new ipad mini release date isn't until "later in November", which would be beyond the 14 days from my purchase date? If apple announces a new version of a product you just purchased but won't actually release it for more than 14 days, how can you possibly exchange the one you just bought? Is my only option to return the one I bought on the 10th (so return by 10/24) and then not have an iPad until the new one is available for purchase? Or would it make any sense to return the one I bought, get a new one, which would presumably have another 14 day return window, and then exchange THAT one for the new ipad mini w/ retina when it comes out (hopefully within that second 14 day window)?

Call the apple store you got it from and ask them. Sometimes in the past they've extended the 'no questions asked return' but only Apple can tell you for sure.

How can I get "distorted" gradient fills to copy & paste properly?

Here's the situation simplified: I create a document and draw a circle and fill it with a circular gradient fill. I then copy and paste that circle into a new document. It looks exactly the same, and importantly, the gradient fill is still editable, so I can change the colours making up the gradient, their positions on the gradient-slider, etc.
However, if I draw the circle in the first document, fill it with a circular gradient fill, and then I "distort" the gradient's shape to an oval shape, using the gradient tool — still keeping the circle itself as a circular shape (only the fill has changed shape) — and I then copy and paste this circle into a document, it does not get copied across properly as a "true" gradient fill.
At first glance, it looks the same. However, viewing the circle in Outline mode shows that the gradient fill has been expanded into 100s and 100s of flat solid coloured objects, each one laid on top of another, getting progressively smaller and smaller, and all masked in the original circle shape.
And of course, as the gradient fill has been expanded, it is no longer "live" and no longer editable, so I now can not edit its colours or positions on the gradient-slider, etc.
So, how can I make it so that Illustrator maintains and keeps the correct gradient fill when copying and pasting between documents? I've tried editing all the settings under Preferences > File Handling & Clipboard, but all without success.
At the moment, to overcome this "bug", I have to separate the two document windows by dragging its tab out of the main Illustrator window, so I now have two floating windows, rather than all windows tabbed in the one environment, and I then have to drag and drop the object from one window to the other. Slightly inconvenient, but it does get the job done.
Strangely enough, dragging and dropping DOES work, whereas copying and pasting does NOT. Weird.
However this slight inconvenience soon adds up when I have to do it many many many times over.
And it gets progressively worse, because dragging and dropping does not allow me to place the object in the position I want it, whereas with copying and pasting, I could ordinarily choose to "Paste In Front" to place my object exactly in the same position between the two documents.
In order to overcome this, I have to drag and drop to get the gradient fill across correctly, and then I have to copy and paste a non-filled duplicate version of the object to get it in precisely the same place, and then I have to use the alignment tools to get the two objects to line up. This = major inconvenience.
And all this becomes even worse when attempting to copy an Illustrator object into Photoshop as a Smart Object, because when I then double-click the Smart Object in Photoshop to edit it, the gradient fill has been expanded — because, obviously, the object had to have been copied and pasted to get it from Illustrator into Photoshop, and this is the problem that Illustrator seems to be having.

Thanks for the continuing answers guys, mucho appreciado.
However, to go through what's been said since my last post...
I tried launching Illustrator in another user account on this machine, but it wouldn't even launch! I got some error number (which I don't recall offhand, but I can re-check it later).
To clarify, this is an official install of CS4 (so no pirating here!), and Illustrator was not running in my other main user account.
And the InDesign thing wouldn't apply to me, as I don't use that app at all. I do invariably have a couple of other CS4 apps running though, usually always Photoshop and Bridge.
I CAN understand how copying and pasting from Illustrator to InDesign would cause this though, because InDesign doesn't support live editable gradients to the same advanced degree that Illustrator does, so it has to expand it when doing so, thereby losing its editability.
Copying and pasting whilst staying completely within Illustrator though is a different story.
You know what — I just had a thought... What if this is nothing to do with Illustrator, but is instead something to do with my Mac OS's system-level clipboard?
I actually had a 3rd-party multiple-item clipboard item installed some time ago, but then never used it. Maybe there's still remnants of that floating around and that's interfering with it somehow?
I'll see if I can clear out all traces of it and see if it makes a difference... Fingers crossed!

Slow response when entering data to an empty cell?

Hey there...
I have this issue that when I start entering data into an empty cell or owerwriting one, the response is slow; when I press a button on the keyboard it takes roughly 1 second before anything visual happens in the cell, but when the data "makes it way through" the response is normal when hitting the keyboard.
Is anyone else experince a slow response when entering data to an empty cell in Number 09 or when overwriting one?/ Anyone familar with a similar issue, and is there anybody who knows how to fix this, or is it just normal for Numbers 09 to be a bit sluggish in the beginning when entering data?
I've recently swithced from Excel 2007 to Numbers 09, so sorry if the terminology is incorrect.

Question asked and answered several times.
Numbers was not coded by brains but by feet so, it behave sadly when the AutoSave Lion feature apply.
I posted a script getting rid of that.
Start from a template or duplicate the existing document just after opening it then close the original and work on the duplicate.
As it was never saved, AutoSave doesn't apply to it;
From time to time (say at least every ten minutes) call my script.
It wil duplicate the doc in progress and save it with a date_time stamped name.
this way, you will continue to enter datas in a never saved document.
Search for the string Auto_Save in the existing threads.
It's late and I'm too tired to search for you.

Get date from Oracle when local time zone is different from Oracle time zon

Hi!
Local machine time zone= +2
Oracle time zone= +1
I set date to Oracle using java.sql.Date.
From application I save date at 00:30 clock and send e.g. 28.06.2002, but in Oracle date is save as 27.06.2002 01:00 (hour=01 , I suppose that is because java.sql.Date hasn't time the Oracle set it time = time zone=+1) And when I get date from Oracle I get incorrect date. In SQL I don't use date masks. Maybe solution is to use java.sql.Timestamp object (when save date to Oracle) instead of java.sql.Date?
But if I save date at e.g. 01:00 clock and send e.g. 28:06.2002 in Oracle, date is save as 28.06.2002 01:00 and when I read from Oracle I get correct date.
Thank you.

Trying to copy and paste objects in keynote 6 I only get a hyperlink when pasting. Anyone else having the same problem? is there anywhere I can change it so that the copied object is pasted directly into the new slide?

Hi
I am trying to copy one object from one lside to another slide in the same presentation. The only thing I get when pasting is a hyperink. Does anyone know how I can turn this off so that the image or the object is pasted as copied to the new slide?
Thanks a lot

there are some unexpected issues when copy and pasting.
As a workaround, use duplicate slide to get the same object in another slide, (select the slide in navigator and command D or right click > duplicate)
