Hi Roanto,
Welcome to Apple Support Communities.
We're all feeling out way around in this newly designed environment, but I think I've discovered that the iWork applications for iPad are still in a community separate from those for the Mac versions of the iWork appplications.
Seeing as you question is about Numbers for iPad, you might find it better served in the https://discussions.apple.com/community/ipad/iwork_for_ipad>Numbers for iPad Community area. The link will take you to the front page of that community.
Regards,
Barry
PS: You might also consider rewriting your question. I'm having some difficulty deternmining exactly what you want to accomplish.

How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?

How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers 3.2.2? I do a lot of rearranging and sorting and want to reference cells in other sheets. After entering the formulas (example: '=Sheet1::Table 1::H126') I will sort the table and the formulas will not move with the sort. I think I can fix this by going cell by cell checking the 'preserve row' and 'preserve column' boxes when editing the formula. I want to avoid having to go one by one. I know that checking the boxes creates a formula like this: '=Sheet1::Table 1::$H$126' I have also tried entering this manually and filling down but it doesn't include the preservations (the $$) in the autofill. If there is another way to remedy my sorting problem that would also be welcomed!
THANKS!!

The title of the post is this
How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?
I restated the Question as follows
Can "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be set on multiple cells at the same time.
In both cases it is not asked if multiple cells can be set to....
That is a given.
Step back a second... It is like selecting multiple cells and setting the text color of the currently selected cells to red. This can be done. More than one cell at a time modified because they are currently selected.
Whats is being asked is: if more than one cell is selected at the same time can the settings "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be applied. No table I put up will help with that question.
YES or NO
If YES how?

How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files. To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
Then copy
Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank

How can I make Numbers respect the row and column locks in an Excel workbook opened in Numbers???

I have a Windows server app that generates Excel workbooks to be emailed to political campaign volunteers to be loaded into Numbers on an iPad, edited, then emailed back to be posted to the server database. There are two problems encountered:
1. The Excel workbook has the first row (column headings) and first column (route identifier) of cells locked, so that they will not scroll off the screen, but Numbers doesn't respect the locks, so when the user scrolls horizontally or vertically, the column headings and/or the route identifier scroll off the screen.
2. The Excel workbook has pop-up "tool-tip" type comments in certain column headings in order to provide the user with the acceptable entries for those columns, but Numbers does not respect those. When the user touches any of the commented column heading cells, a context menu appears instead of the comment.
What must I do in the Excel workbook sheets, or what settings can be made in Numbers to correct the above?

I imported a Numbers '09 file into Numbers on the iPad. All comments were removed during import. Frozen header row and column were retained.
Thank you for your responses I must ask, however, when you refer to "importing" the Excel file, are you referring to a two step process whereby the Excel file is first converted by some other process into Numbers format, then opened in the Numbers application - which is what I have to do in my PC application to generate the Excel file, and reverse that process to convert the Excel back into my database format - or are you simply referring to opening the file in Numbers as "importing" it? And please excuse any ignorance, as I'm not at all familiar with Apple's terminologies. In fact, I don't own an iPad myself, but rather I have to depend on one of my clients to do the testing for me.
I imported an XLSX file into Numbers on the iPad. The file used "freeze panes" to "freeze" the first column and row. Only warning on import was that it changed fonts. It imported without the first row and column frozen and with no comments. Nothing I can do about the missing comments but it was a simple matter to turn the first column & row into headers and freeze them.
Unfortunately this would not be an efficient solution, since the end users are, for the most part, elderly political campaign volunteers who are fairly computer illiterate. These workbooks are actually canvassing lists - known as walklists. Their purpose is for the volunteers to interview voters, record the results of the interviews, and post the results to a database, which provides the campaigns with valuable strategizing capabilities. Also, these workbooks have multiple pages - as many as 10 or more. and from what I infer from the above, the setting changes would have to be made on each page.
My whole intent in developing this iPad/Tablet methodology was to significantly reduce volunteer's work - which is a recruitment benefit - and eliminate paper. While the latter would be accomplished, the former would not, and in fact would tend to increase it. It's necessary to keep the first row - column headings - and the first column - the route identifier - from scrolling off the page, so that the volunteer won't have to keep scrolling up and down and right and left to know what the data are.
Conclusion: Comments are not supported on the iPad version of Numbers. Frozen headers are not imported from Excel but can be recreated easily.
I was previously directed to the Apple website http://www.apple.com/ipad/from-the-app-store/apps-by-apple/numbers.html which extols the wonders of the Numbers application. About halfway down the page there's a section regarding, "Sliders steppers and pop-ups". The web page states that pop-ups can be set up but, being a marketing site, gives no indication whatsoever as to how it's done. I was hoping someone could tell my if there's any way to carry them over from an Excel file.

How can I print row and column headings?

In AW6 I was able to select Appleworks in the print window and check if I wanted to print row and/or column headings. I have not been able to find how to do this in Numbers. Can anyone tell me how?

Perfectly logical, the feature is unavailable.
Workaround:
Use a row header and a column header to mimic the missing feature.
In cell B1 I entered
=CHAR(CODE("A")-1+COLUMN())
and applied fill to the right
CAUTION, this formula is OK only from colum B thru column Z.
In cell A2 I entered
=ROW()
and applied Fill Down
Then convert column A as header one
convert row A as header one.

"Ellie,
The first thing you need to do is to read your file in as a spreadsheet file. Then, you display it in a chart.
That sounds simple, but looking at your dataset, there's a few things you should know. First, the "read from spreadsheet VI" is looking for data in columns, like your data set, but columns separated by tabs. Therefore, your data must be saved that way; currently, it doesn't seem that it is. Another thing; you must skip the header portion (labels) of your file when reading.
Next, it would be easier if your time was first, and your data was second in your columns, but that can be overcome. In the VI I am including, I have copied your data set into a file called data.txt, and I've removed the header and separated the columns with a tab. Then, I read in the data, and I break out each column so I can put the time first, and then I combine them again into a cluster so it can be displayed on an XY chart.
Take a look!
Mark"

All you have to do is use Read From Spreadsheet File.vi that's on the File I/O palette. For your example .txt, set the Transpose input to true and wire the First Row output to a waveform graph. The only problem I see is that since your file doesn't contain any sampling info, the time axis will be relative. If have that information elsewhere, then you can put a build waveform function between the read and the graph. Wire the First Row output to the Y input Build Waveform and add t0 and dt values. I've attached an example.

How can I select and delete rows based on the value in one column?

I searched through the discussion board, and found a thread on deleting blank rows, but not sure how to modify it to work with my issue.
I have put together a rather complicated spreadsheet for designing control systems, it calculates parts needed based on check boxes selected in a second spreadsheet.
Since not all systems require all parts there are many rows that have a 0 quantity value, I would like to select these rows and delete them once I have gone through the design phase (checking off required features on a separate sheet).
I like the way the other thread I found will gather all the blank rows at the bottom without changing the order of the rows with data in them.
I don't understand exactly how the formula in the other thread works well enough to modify it to look for a certain column.
I hope I made myself clear enough here, to recap, I would like to sort the rows based on a zero value in one (quantity) column, move them (the zero quantity rows) to the bottom of the sheet, and then delete the rows with a zero quantity (I can delete them manually, but would like to automate the sorting part).
Thanks for any help anyone can provide here.
Danny

I apologize but, as far as I know, Numbers wasn't designed by Ian Flemming.
There is no "this column will be auto-destructing after two minutes"
You will have to use your fingers to delete it.
I wish to add a last comment :
if your boss has the bad habit to look over your shoulder, it's time to find an other one.

How can I create 25 charts on a page, each chart 2 columns and 10 rows

I need to create a chart that has 25 tables. 5 tables in 5 columns. Each table has 2 columns and 10 rows. I know it can fit all on 1 page as I have seen it done but I can not figure out how

I had some initial difficulty understanding your question. In Numbers, a "chart" is a graph.
You want to create a 5 x 5 array of tables, each with two columns and 10 rows, placed on a single page.
At the default size, each cell on a new Table is 1 inch wide and 0.2 inches high. So without displaying a title, each of your 25 charts would occupy a two inch square space.
Butted closely together, that's a space that is 10 inches wide by 10 inches high.
On a machine set to US localization,the default page size is US Letter, placed in Landscape orientation. Left, right and top margins are set to 0.75", bottom margin is 0.5", and there is a 0.25" height reserved for page header and page footer.
That leaves a working space that's 9.5" wide and 6.75" high.
Obviously, some adjustments will be needed.
0.2" is pretty much the minimum for row height. You can go smaller by typing in a smaller height in the Table Inspector, but even with 9 point type, you begin to lose the descenders on ps and qs. Go with 0.2, then use the slider in Print view to further shrink the content.
If you can narrow the columns significantly (to 0.75" or less), then go to Page setup and change to Portrait orientation.
In the Sheet Inspector, decrease all margins to 0.5", and the header and footer spaces to 0. Set page orientation to Portrait.
Now consider the Table(s). If you've opened a new, blank document, you'll have a multi column, multi row table with one header row and one header column. If you don't need the header row and header column, delete them (column A, Row 1) right away.
Reduce the number of rows to 10 and the number of columns to 2. Select the whole table and, in the Table inspector, set the row height to 0.16" and the row width to 0.73".
With the table still selected. press command-D four times to create four duplicate tables.
Go View > Show Rulers, then View > Show Print View. go back to the Table Inspector and use the slider to set Content Scale to about 94%.
Drag the still selected Table to the right margin of the page. Press command-A to Select All.
Go Arrange > Align > Top
Go Arrange > Distribute Space > Horizontal.
With all five tables still selected, press command-D to duplicate the set.
Hold down the Shift key and press the left arrow once, then the down arrow 14 times. This should bring the new row of tables into line with the previous ones, and move them down the page to just below the first row of tables. If fine adjustment is needed, use the arrow keys with the shift key released.
Repeat three more times to add another three rows of tables.
Adjust the spacing between tables as necessary.

Barry

click and hold on one cell, then drag to select the range, then release, then type the delete key. Only inlude cells in the range you do not want to keey the contents of the cell. You can remove one-off cells by holding the command key and clicking cells to add or remove as needed.

We used to be able to sort by multiple columns/rows at once by right clicking on the header and choosing show more options-how do we do that in the new Numbers? It doesn't appear anywhere. Do I now have to sort massive tables by each column one at a time now? Also there used to be an easier way to merge/unmerge cells without me having to go to the table menu each time. Am I missing something?

Multiple column sort is a missing feature in the new version. Hopefully soon to return. You can do a multicolumn sort by sorting one at a time in reverse order of importance.
For merging and unmerging cells, I select the cells and right click to bring up the contextual menu. Merge and unmerge are on the menu. You could also create keyboard shortcuts for Merge Cells and Unmerge Cells in the Table menu.

Hi again Raja!
I did as you recommended and installed HTTPWatch and below is the outcome of that program. It is the exact string with the only exception of obfuscated servernames and portnumbers. The last part that begins with "sap_ep_baseurl=" makes me suspicious, is that part really correct? It looks like it's lacking things.

Hi, how can i break the value for a row and column once i have converted the image to the array???????

Hi, I would like to know how can i break the value for a row and column once i have converted the image to the array. I wanted to make some modification on the element of the array at a certain position. how can i do that?
At the moment (as per attachhment), the value of the new row and column will be inserted by the user. But now, I want to do some coding that will automatically insert the new value of the row and the column ( I will use the formula node for the programming). But the question now, I don't know how to split the row and the column. Is it the value of i in the 'for loop'? I've tried to link the 'i' to the input of the 'replace subset array icon' , but i'm unable to do it as i got some error.
Please help me!
For your information, I'm using LABView 7.0.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.Sorry for the confusion.
I manage to change the array element by changing the row and column value. But, what i want is to allow the program to change the array element at a specified row and column value, where the new value is generated automatically by the program.
Atatched is the diagram. I've detailed out the program . you may refer to the comments in the formula node. There are 2 arrays going into the loop. If a >3, then the program will switch to b, where if b =0, then the program will check on the value of the next element which is in the same row with b but in the next column. But if b =45, another set of checking will be done at a dufferent value of row and column.
I hope that I have made the problem clear. Sorry if it is still confusing.
Hope you can help me. Thank you!!!!

This technique would be quite slow. Unfortunately, it's the only way I could think of if it's really an Excel file. If it's tab delimited file, you could read a whole thing into 2D array and work on Array instead of reading cell-by-cell.

How can I search a word in a column and erase all the rows containing that word?

How can I erase all the rows containing a certain word at once?
Right now I do it manually : I search the word in a certain column with cmd+f, after that it points out where the word is in different rows. And then I manually erase every row but this takes a lot of time when you have 500 row! There must be a way to select all the rows concerned at once and erase them? Thks!

assuming this is something you don't do very often you can simply use the search feature to identify instances of the search term, and select the row, delete the row then search again.
The next level would be to add a new column where you identify that the search term exists in a cell of the row, then you sort by the new column:
B1=IF(IFERROR(FIND("team", A1,1), 0)>0, "FOUND", "")
my search term is "team" change yours as needed.
select B1, copy,
select Column B, paste
Now sort:
Inspect the rows to make sure the rows found are REALLY ones you want to remove. select the ones you want to remove and delete those rows.

How can I make an Equation apply to an entire column, but only use the values in the specific rows?

I am working on a research project using Numbers 09 and have columns for values that require me to use formulas using values in other columns. Becuase I am lazy and have 180 rows of data, I would like to find a way to have a formula apply to an entire column so that I don't have to go row by row inputting the formula.
Essentially, I want to be able to have N(X)=F(X)+G(X). Where X is the row number. Is this possible?
The real formula I want to have is (4*(F(X))^2)/G(X)
Thanks!

Place this formula in your chosen column in the first row containing data in columns F and G.
=(4*F^2)/G
Press enter to confirm the entry. The result will appear in the cell.
Click (once) on the cell containing the formula.
Shift Click on the cell in the same column on the last row containing data in F and G to select all cells between. .
Go Insert > Fill > Fill down.
Done.

Barry
