How can I make a Extras Casting check-in spreadsheet?

I do extras casting for movies and was looking to make a spreadsheet for it. I have a .csv list of information (last name, first name, role, email, etc) and was looking for the spreadsheet to something kinda basic, when i type the last name in the spreadsheet that it will either automatically fill in the other blanks with the rest of the person's info or for it to have a pop-up window that would have all of the names and when i chose the one i want, then it would automatically populate the rest. I am extremely dumb when it comes to Numbers or Excel and I'm not sure how to do it...if anyone has any suggestions of a template to use or how to make one i would GREATLY appreciate it...Thanks

What you're looing for is a Lookup table, containing the data for all cast members, and a calling table ("Main") to retrieve the data for named players.
That's easily handled using one of the Lookup functions. My preference is for VLOOKUP, which allows you to specify an exact match:
The complete data set is kept on the table "lookup", on the right.
On the "main" table, each last name is entered in column A, and the information matching that name on the lookup table is returned to the cells to the right of that name using the formula below:
main::B2: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP($A,lookup :: $A:$E,COLUMN(),FALSE),"NF")
fill the formula down to row 10, and right to column E.
VLOOKUP searches for the value in column A, looking in the first column of the lookup table (A), and returns the value in the nth column of that table. The FALSE argument makes VLOOKUP reject a 'close match', and accept only an exact match. 'nth' is set by the COLUMN() function, which returns the column number ofthe column containing that iteration of the formula.
IF VLOOKUP does not find an exact match for the search value (see main::row 8 — Ell, and the rows below it where no value has yet been entered in column A), the error is caught by IFERROR, and the formula returns the text NF (Not Found).
More detail on VLOOKUP, COLUMN and IFERROR can be found in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide, which can be downloaded via the Help menu in Numbers '09.

  • How can I remove this extra authorization check for dynamic parameters

    Hello expert,
           I created a new dynamic hirarchical parameters as " client-->policy" in crystal report.   these parameter value are coming from a physical table.  the other part of report extract data by a oracle procedure. when I ran this report in client, it is ok for everything. but when I schedule it or run it in infoview,  I need extra authorization for access these dynamic parameter, eventhough this is not for accessing other parameters.  How can I remove this extra authorization check for dynamic parameters?

    Hi
    Open the crystal designer  Edit the parameter In the prompt window at the existing option you can find the LOV name.
    Open the Business view manager and find that prompt name in u201CRepository Exploreru201D window and select that parameter  right click that parameter  Select edit rights  provide rights for your user name in that window.

  • HOW CAN I MAKE THE GRIDLINES IN A NUMBERS SPREADSHEET PRINT

    I have created a numbers spreadsheet, but when I print it, there are no gridlines.  Because the spreadsheet is a page and a half wide it is hard to follow across to get to the right data.  How can I make the gridline print?

    Question asked and answered several times.

  • How can I make all the Tables in my spreadsheet to work as one?

    I made a spreadsheet for work in Numbers '09 but do to the computers that we have at work, I have to have it exported to Windows Excel, but when I try to export the spreadsheet since I used more than 1 table to create this spreadsheet, each table is converted to an Excel worksheet, and all other objects are placed on separate worksheets since there's more than one table. and I want to know is there anything I can do, to export everything in one spreadsheet, for all the tables to work as one spreadsheet. PLEASE HELP!!

    You may be able to easily consolidate all your tables into one big table to make it equivalent to an Excel worksheet. You can copy/paste from one table to another and you can drag columns or rows from one table and insert them into another. Note that formulas that use column letters or row numbers instead of specific ranges (i.e., B instead of B2:B10) will now refer to the entire column/row in the destination table.
    Without doing this, all the tables, when exported to Excel into separate worksheets, should still work together just like they did in Numbers. Are you saying that they do not?
    Not much you can do about objects.

    Search InDesign help for "change bullet characters" (without quotes,) and use the technique described there with the Zapf Dingbat font as suggested by Peter S.
    You can also use InDesign's glyphs panel (Window > Type & Tables > Glyphs) to scroll through all the character sets in all the fonts that InDesign has access to on your system, to look for check mark characters.
    After you have created a paragraph style that applies the customized check-mark-bullet that you want, every time you apply that paragraph style, the custom bullet appears. So, while it's a few steps to set up the style the first time, from then on it's automatic.
    If you really need a particular bullet that's not in any font you have, you'll need to search for fonts that have check mark characters and buy one or use a free one. Caution: free fonts aren't always created to the same strict standards that commercial fonts from reputable font foundries observe; free fonts sometimes cause problems when printing or exporting to PDF. You can search Google for "fonts with check mark" (without quotes.)

  • How can i make a CHECK in an ALTER table, to compare 2 Variables of TWO different tab

    I have 3 tables:
    EVALUATION (No_expert, No_article)

    AUTHOR_ARTICLE (No_Article, Code_author)
    AUTHOR (Code_author, Name, Original)
    and my question is: How can i make a check to refuse each time an EXPERT ADDED to the EVALUATION table. If this one is an AUTHOR, in other words, the EVALUATION.No_expert must <> than AUTHOR.Code_author.
    This is what i did but it doesn't work:

    CHECK (EVALUATION.No_expert <> AUTHOR_ARTICLE.Code_author);

    That is a bug with blocklisting plugins that has been fixed.<br />
    You can correct this issue by forcing the file blocklist.xml to update or wait until Firefox updates the file.<br />

  • How can I make a check box active ONLY if another check box is activated?

    How can I make a check box active ONLY if another check box is activated?
    I have an editable PDF for a client, which contains text fields and check box fields.
    There are three main check boxes (let's call them A, B and C) that the user is required to choose from, and I have given all three the same name in the Name tab of the General tab menu but different export values in order that ONLY one of the boxes can be checked at any time. Ticking one will deactivate another if it is already checked, etc.
    However, I then have a further two check boxes which I wish to become available ONLY if the second one of the above three boxes is checked. Other than that I do not wish the user to have access to them.
    I'm guessing it requires some kind of Action Script or Javascript, which is not my forté! Any help would be much appreciated.
    Regards

  • How can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

    how can I make extra storage on my phone when I have deleted any all data, pictures and files that I couldn't store in a dropbox and not have purchase additional storage?

    Purchasing additional storage only applies to iCloud, not to the phone itself. You cannot purchase additional storage for the phone, only purchase a larger capacity phone. If you have deleted all of the content that you can, then that is all of the space that you have. What is it exactly that you are trying to do? Does this have to do with space for performing an OTA update of the iOS?

  • How can i make my photoshop support arabic language

    How can i make my photoshop support arabic language?

    You can swtich your Mac to view in Arabic by going to the Language & Text system preferences and then dragging Arabic to the top of the list. If Arabic is not in the list, then click the "Edit List..." button to enable it.
    This will make any program that is localized to Arabic appear in Arabic.
    Next, go to the Region section of these preferences and choose the one that best suits your needs. If you click the Show all regions checkbox then you will have options in this menu to view all Arabic regions as a submenu.
    Finally, go to the Input Sources section, where you can check various Arabic keyboard layouts to enable them. Then check the "Show Input menu in menu bar" option at the bottom of the window, which will place a small menu extra to the right of your system menu bar at the top of your screen.
    In this menu, you can select the enabled Arabic layouts, to use them if and when needed.

    I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 capabilities. But now my iphone's gmail inbox only shows a random selection of emails (i.e. right now it is May 31, 2013 but the emails in my inbox are a couple from Nov 12, a few from Oct 12, and then some way older than that and so on.When I log into my gmail from a computer, I see all my emails in the logical, standard order.

    If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
    Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
    IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
    Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.
