How can i create categories in numbers 3.0

After updating numbers to 3.0, I can't find a way to create categories in the table

Hi rhimac,
Glad it helped. It's a bit ugly to set up that extra column but it really isn't that much trouble. It can do the job until Apple (we hope) brings back multi-column sort.
One further thought, that I've posted elsewhere: =A&B or =A&C&B or whatever will work if the values are all text. If you need to sort columns that contain numbers you need to "pad" the numbers with leading zeros so they will sort as you want. That's easily done. Say B is a number. You can change the B in the formula to something like RIGHT("000000000000",B,12). 
This turns the number into a string (text), puts zeros in front of the string, and grabs the last 12 characters in the string.  So if your number was $1,250.95 it would become 000000000000$1250.95 then finally 000$1,250.95. The numbers in the other rows of the column would also start with zeros and thus sort properly. You would increase the number of zeros within the "" and increase the 12 as needed if your column happened to contain larger numbers.
And one last thought. If you're just sorting by two columns sometimes you don't have to resort to an extra column.  Say you are sorting by A then by B.  In the popup menu at the head of the column first sort by B. Then sort by A.  It seems kind of backwards. But it will work in some situations. When you're dealing with three columns or more, though, the extra column is probably the way to go.

  • How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?

    How can I create a new Numbers Document through AppleScript?
    I try this:
    tell application "Numbers"
    make new document with properties {template name:"blank"}
    end tell
    But don't work.
    Where can I find documentation about it?
    Thanks

    If you try to invent your own syntax, you are starting on very wrong basis.
    The required syntax is defined by the Numbers AppleScript's dictionary.
    This one doesn't know what is a template.
    This is why, in the link posted by badunit, I use an other scheme to create a new document.
    I know that it's awful but it's the only one available at this time.

    Certain Numbers templets allow you to drag and drop contacts to populate cell data, how can I create that functionality in my own tables?

    If you haven't come across the workarounds thread you may find helpful tips there on this and other ways to work with Numbers 3.
    ronniefromcalifornia discovered how to bring contacts into Numbers 3. As described in this post:
    "Open Contacts
    Select all the cards you want
    Copy
    In Numbers, in a table, select cell A1
    Paste
    Boom. Works great. Even brought in the pictures. Cool."
    So instead of drag and drop, just select in Contacts, copy, and paste into Numbers

  • How can I create an easily managed Customer Extranet?

    I have a customer who wants to provide an extranet for his customers that is easily maintained by non-technical field operators.
    He wants one screen that field operators can use to create and upload files.  For example, the screen would look similar to this:
    Create new customer: [________________________]  or Select existing customer: [________________________][^]
    Upload file: [___________________][^]
    [SUBMIT]
    When the submit button is clicked, then following needs to happen:
    - new Secure Zone is created for that customer
    - a new category is created with that customer's name
    - the file is uploaded to the literature module, and assigned to that customer's category
    - new page for that customer and is automatically assigned to the new Secure Zone; the page will have the literature module limited to that customer's category
    Is this even possible?
    Any other ideas how I might achieve the same effect?
    Thanks!

    Thank you for posting.
    You can create a page and provide 2 links/buttons, one for the existing customer to login and another one for the new customer, which will take them to a registration form.
    Case 1 (existing customer logged in) : You can create a page and add "update details" module to the page. Add it as a landing page to a secure zone. When existing customer will login, they will be taken to this page and will have the option to update their details.
    PS : You need to create a form, add "upload file" field to it and add this form when adding the "update details module" to the page.
    Case 2 (New customer) : Create a form, add "upload file" field to this form. Add it to a page and link this page with the "new customer" link/button. You can also attach a secure zone with this form. When customer will register, he will be subscribed to the attached secure zone.
    Coming to your other questions :
    - new Secure Zone is created for that customer : Unfortunately, this is not possible. The only way to ccreate a secure zone is from the admin panel.
    - a new category is created with that customer's name : This is not possible either. You can either create categories from admin panel or via import file.
    - the file is uploaded to the literature module, and assigned to that customer's category : The files can't be uploaded to the literature from the front end of the site. Literatures can be created from the backend only. The file uploaded via webform, is attached to the case and not to the user. However, you can use webapps, allow file upload and it will be associated with the user.
    - new page for that customer and is automatically assigned to the new Secure Zone; the page will have the literature module limited to that customer's category : Webpages can be created from the backend. Submitting a form can't create a webpage. Also, you need to add the page to the secure zone. It can't be assigned to the secure zone automatically. You can display literature items in a category. However, you need to add the literature module from the backend.

  • How can I create a Commercial Invoice or similar document in SAP ByD?

    How can I create a Commercial Invoice or similar document in SAP ByD?
    Our company has recently implemented ByD, but we can't figure out how to create a commercial invoice for shipping/customs purposes. I know that the German version of ByD allows for "Export Declarations" which is pretty much the same as a commercial invoice, but the U.S. version doesn't have this document/function.
    Any suggestions? I would appreciate any help.
    By the way, a commercial invoice contains:
    1. The shipperu2019s complete information: Contact name, company name, complete address and tax identification number.
       2. The recipientu2019s complete information: Contact name, company name, complete address and phone number.
       3. The buyeru2019s information (the person to whom the goods are sold by the seller) if different from the recipient: Contact name, company name, complete address and phone number.
       4. The shipment tracking number, air waybill number or bar-code label number.
       5. An accurate description of the contents in your shipment that includes the following details:
    What the product is
    What material the product is made of
    What the productu2019s Schedule B or HTS code is
    What the productu2019s intended use is
    What the productu2019s country of manufacture is
    What the productu2019s parts or serial numbers are (if applicable)
    What the productu2019s quantity and unit of measure are
    What the productu2019s value is, per unit and in total

  • How can I create a solution with Livecycle

    I work for a high school and we have about 12 pdfs that we need parents to read/scroll through, then 10 (different) pages that we want them to print, complete and return to the school.  Finally, we want them to see a "Thank you, you have done all you have to do" type screen.  We want to make it as user friendly as possible so I was thinking...
    Reading pages, 1 at a time with next at bottom.
    Click next and it takes them on.  When they get to printing pages 1 print button prints all pages we need them to print. Click next, and it takes them to optional print pages.
    Click next and it says, thank you.
    How can I make this happen if I already have all the pdfs?
    Help please.

    Subject: How can I create a solution with Livecycle
    I assume that all of these PDFs were created in Designer. If so you can add any buttons that you want to appear on every page (Next, Previous) onto the Master page then there is script you can add to the buttons to actual move the pages (xfa.host.pageDown() and xfa.host.pageUp()). The Prin button can be added to the specific page and you can pass the page numbers that you want to print as a parameter to the print command. Lastly when you get to the last page and the click Complete you can display a messageBox with your Thank you message.
    Hope that helps

  • How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

    How can I create a long employment form without making the form widget drag?

    Sorry Sachin, I mean that I created a simple form on the page from the widget and started adding fields to it. The more fields I add the slower the delay becomes in creating a new field. Even when I try to select and drag or move an item, there's a huge delay and sometimes the program feezes,  loose what i've done and have ot restart.
    I'm doing an enployment form that has more than 20 fields, at least, and I need to be able to build the fields in separate categories, like Education, Past Employment, etc... quickly without delay issues.
    I can probably send you a snap shot of what I'm talking about if I cna post it or attach it here..?

  • How can I create cursors within the cursor?

    How can I create cursors within the cursor?

    Value2
    Table3_06
    Account_no

    My result table should be:
    Table_result_06
    Account_no
    Account_eff_dt
    No_account_holder
    Num
    Value1_min (the minimum value for the minimum of record_sequence)
    Value2_max (the maximum value for the maximum of record_sequence)
    I have to get data from Table1 and Table2_Historical. If one account was open in 1998 and is still effective, the minimum value of that account is in the Table2_Historical.
    Let's say I open a cursor:
    cursor_first is
    select * from table3_06;
    open csr_first
    loop
    fetch cursor_first into
    v_Account_no
    v_Account_eff_dt
    v_No_account_holder
    v_Num
    EXIT WHEN csr_first%NOTFOUND;
    How can I open a second cursor from here that will get the Seq_Num from Table1
    csr_second
    select Seq_Num from Table1 where
    v_Account_no = Account_no
    v_Account_eff_dt <= Account_eff_dt
    v_No_account_holder=No_account_holder
    v_Num = Num
    How does it works???
    Thanks a lot

    Thanks so much for replying back. Here is what I am trying to do.
    I have to create a table for each year 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006 that has all the account numbers that are active each year plus some other characteristics.
    Let’s say I will create Table_result_06. This table will have the following fields. The account number, account effective date, Number of the account holder and the field Num (The primary key is a combination of all 4 fields), the beginning look of value 1 in 2006, the last look of value 1 in 2006.
    Table_result_06
    Account_no key
    Account_eff_dt key
    No_account_holder key
    Num key
    Value1_min (the minimum value for the minimum of record_sequence)
    Value2_max (the maximum value for the maximum of record_sequence)
    All the active account numbers with the Account_eff_dt, No_account_holder and Num are in the Table3. As such I can build a query that connects Table3 with table Table1 on all 4 fileds, Account_no, Account_eff_dt, No_account_holder, Num and find the Value1_min for the min of req_sequence in 2006 and Value1_max for the max of req_sequence in 2006. Here my problem starts.
    Table 1 doesn’t have a new entry if nothing has changed in the account. So if this account was open in 1993 and nothing has changed I don’t have an entry in 2006 but this doesn’t mean that this account doesn’t exist in 2006. So to find the minimum value I have to go back in 1993 and find the max and min for that year and that will be max and min in 2006 as well.
    As such I have to go to Table_2 historical and search for min and max. But this table doesn’t have the field NUM and if I match only on the Account_no, Account_eff_dt and No_account_holder I don’t get a unique record.
    So how can I connect all three tables, Table 1 for max and min, if it doesn’t find anything will go to table 2 find the two values and populate Table_result_06.
    Thanks so much again for your hep,

  • HT2534 how can i create an account in itunes from Bangladesh ?

    how can i create an account in itunes from Bangladesh ?

    If you go to the artist's/group's page in the store then you should be able to do it e.g. search for the artist in the store, and on the right-hand side of the results page there should be list of content categories that match that search, and below it a link for the artist
    Click on the artist's name to go to a screen listing their items, and at the top right of that screen there should be a 'share' icon'
    Click on that and on the popup you should have an option for 'alert me' (I haven't used it but I assume that it works).
    You can see what alerts that you have, and remove them, by logging into your account via the Store > View Account menu option - on your account's screen there should be an Alerts link

  • I'm a new Mac user....how can i create a "sticky" with automatically reoccurring bullet points?

    I'm a new Mac user....how can i create a "sticky" with automatically reoccurring bullet points?

    On my previous Mac (long, sad story) I had Office for Mac and liked it a lot.  I was collaberating on some fairly complex legal documents, and never noticed any compatibility problems with Windows Office.  That said, it is expensive.  For most documents, I simply open the Word document in Pages and export it to Word when I am finished.  I sometimes get the message that there is a missing font, but the computer uses a substitute that is quite acceptable.  I have never had someone say that they had difficulty with a document I exported to Word.
    Numbers and Excel aren't as compatible in my experience, and I have gotten some surprises when I hadn't tweaked the settings properly when exporting to Excel.
    The other component of iWork is Keynote, and I like it much better than Powerpoint; to me it is just easier to use. I have never tried converting back and forth between Keynote and Powerpoint.
    Depending on what grade your kids are in and what they are doing, I think I would start off with iWork and see what, if any, problems they encounter.  Of course, if they are going to use the computer for a class in Office or its components, your kids are going to need a Windows machine with Windows Office, because Office for Mac is enough different that when the teacher says, "Now, move your mouse here and click on....", your kids are going to be lost.
    Hope this is useful.
