How can I make a random list from list of names?

I have a list of names and i need to place them randomly in a new list. How I make this in the Numbers?

Here's one way:
There are two formulas in the Sorter table.
B2 (and filled down):   =RAND()
A2 (and filled down):   =OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,RANK(B2,B,),0)
The first generates a set of random values between 0 and 1 in column B.
The second calculates the rank within the list of the column B value in its row, and uses that rank to determine how many rows below row 1 to look for the value to place in its cell.
The checkbox cell in Go! offers a simple way to change a value, which triggers a recalculation of the Sorter table.

  • How can I make a weekly 'to do' list?  I don't want the list associated with a particular date and time; just a list of things to get done!

    How can I make a weekly 'to do' list? I don't want it associated with a particular day or or time, just the week, preferably with the ability to check off or remove when done.

    Thank you for the excellent reference Peddi. I had played with the OAMessageChoiceBean component yesterday, but I was able to tell from your instructions that "Picklist Display Attribute" and "Picklist Value Attribute" really are not for binding to the database EO. That was the key piece of information that had me confused.
    In addition to adding the messageChoice component to the page, I needed to write some code to synchronize the picklist value with the corresponding code value, which I placed in am OAFormValueBean (hidden form field) which I could then bind to my application's database EO in the controller, running in the processFormRequest procedure:
    /** Synchronize the catalog code with the selected catalog name */
    protected void syncCatalogValues(OAPageContext pageContext,
    OAWebBean webBean, MyApplicationAMImpl am) {   
    OAMessageChoiceBean mcb =
    (OAMessageChoiceBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("CatalogName");
    OAFormValueBean cc =
    (OAFormValueBean) webBean.findChildRecursive("CatalogCode");
    String catalogDescription = mcb.getText(pageContext);
    if (catalogDescription != null) {
    String catalogCode = am.getCatalogCode(catalogDescription);
    cc.setValue(pageContext, catalogCode);
    Along with a little code to get the catalogCode value from the LOVVO, that's all it took.
    Thanks again. This was a great help.

  • How can I make a still photo from imovie

    How can I make a still photo from imovie?

    Let's assume you have iMovie 11 (Version 9). (If you have a different version, let me know. The instructions will be different.)
    First, get an app called MPEG Streamclip, which is free. (google MPEG Streamclip from Squared 5)
    Open MPEG Streamclip.
    In iMovie, select the clip you need. Then, right-click/Reveal in Finder.
    Drag this clip into MPEG Streamclip
    In MPEG Streamclip, move the playhead to the frame you want.
    In MPEG Streamclip, click FILE/EXPORT FRAME.
    Choose JPEG, TIFF, or PNG and give it a name.
    You can then drag this photo into iPhoto.
    I have created a short video Tutorial on how to do this. There is one error in the Tutorial, where it says that Command-click is the same as right-click. I should have said Control-click instead.

  • How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?

    How can I make an audiobook purchased from another source show up in iTunes as an audiobook and not as music?
    They chapters are mp3 files. Changing the genre to "audiobook" or "audiobooks" does help.
    I am sure this question will come up a lot, since the book in question is "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows," purchased from Pottermore.com.

    The one thing I would add to the instructions above is that the "Media Kind" menu is on the "Option" pane in the "Get Info" Window. This procedure has allowed me not only to make imported audiobooks show up as audiobooks, but imported podcasts show up as podcasts.

    How can I make a PDF file from each folders with layers, where each page is a each folder?

    I found an answer to my own question. A work around of sorts.
    Download Photoshop Elements 6 for Macintosh. With PSE6 I made a slide show with 550 images 1920x1200, without thumbs. I ran into one problem making the slide show. My images contained 4 images which had not ben created by Photoshop and could not be included in the slide show. Opening the images in Photoshop CS4 and re-saving them still did not make then acceptable. Not a big deal. I probably could have fixed the four images by stripping all EXIF data before opening them in Photoshop. BTW, PSE6 made the slide show in demo mode.
    I hope the bug in Photoshop CS4 will be fixed in Photoshop CS5.

  • How can you generate Multiple random numbers from 1 to 49?

    I am very new at programming with the iPhone SDK and I need some help with a project I am working on. What I want to do is set up a window with 6 labels and 1 button. When the user clicks the button, the program will populate 6 randomized numbers each ranging from 1 to 49, and then place each of 6 numbers in a label. But each time the program ends and starts again the numbers cannot be the same, and also when the user clicks the button, no label can have the same number twice, so for example. If label 1 had the number 10, the other 5 labels cannot have that number until the button is clicked again. I know how to set up the interface, I just need the code. I would so greatly appreciate someone's help in this matter. I have been trying to do this for days and I cannot figure it out. Possibly someone who knows tons about Objective C programming can help me!
    Thank-you so very much!!

    I see that you're writing a lottery number generator. Perhaps the easiest way to do it is to emulate a real lottery: fill an array (NSMutableArray, probably) with the numbers between 1 and 49, pick one at random, remove that number from the array, and repeat. (You can think of the numbers as being the balls and the array as being the machine that pops them out.)
    One simple way to get the random indices needed is to extract six random bytes from Randomization Services using SecRandomCopyBytes, then loop over them, using the modulo operator (%) to select an index within the size of the array.
    And no, I'm not going to write your code for you. If I was going to do that, I could package and sell the app myself.

  • How can I make the login window's list longer?

    There are five of us in our family, but the login window only holds four names in Tiger. In Panther it held five, and now my youngest (whose name is alphabetically last) is disappointed because he has to scroll down to see his name.
    But there is plenty of screen real estate for a really long list! How can I have a longer list in the login window without scrolling?
    I posted this back when using Tiger, and hoped that Leopard would at least bring back the Panther days of 5 users in the list---if not a window that adjusted to the number of users. <Sigh>

    Yes, I've thought about making it fair that way. But then there are no more cute pictures, and we have to type more.
    I was also thinking about adding a character to the beginning of each long name. And then every once in a while changing the character that each family member has to change who is #5 on the list.
    Would changing the User Name cause problems?
    I thought of that but it's not a good idea. The repercussions might get messy. I don't know.
    This is not the short name, just the long one. The short user name can't be changed after creating the account.
    It can be changed but it's even more fraught with problems. If you right-click your user name in Accounts you have the option to change the short name - - but read the caveats carefully - and then perhaps don't do it.
    To get five, I could use the card suits and also a diamond.
    Next: An Applescript that randomly pre-fixes those symbols to each person's user name? Run the script each night or each time someone logs out. Hmm, System Preferences is scriptable.
    Again, I would not recommend name changes, esp. on a regular basis.
    If you use TimeMachine it might get confused.
    Your best bet is to send Apple an enhancement request for future OSs or even this one.
    I am sure that the OS can be hacked to do what you wish, but there are unintended consequences of each and every system hack - one of which is that updates expect certain things to be constant.
    One solution is to buy a second computer
    Even if you have 5 accounts on the login page, what if you gain a 6th?

    say (1-100) for 100 rows
    In the program use random function to get random number between 0 and 1. this value u multiply with 100(or total number of rows) and take integer value of it . u then perform sql query to select the a row which matches randomly genarated value with row-id assigned to each row of database

  • How can I make text slide in from the right?

    I'm really enjoying learning more with Captivate 6 and the community has been very helpful so far. I can't figure out how to get very simple text effects/transitions such as bringing text from the side of the frame to "slide" into place. This has been a text effect of every program for a decade, is this basic transition available in 6? I'm making a list on  a few screens and would very much like the text to simply slide in from the right.
    I'm about to just make a transparent png with the text to accomplish this for now considering it's my best bet. Any information would be handy. Thanks!

    Apparently if your resolution is too low or the workspace isn't allowing "space" for a full effects window to show up, the whole thing shows up blank and grey. How obnoxious! By closing my properties tab on the right (after many other fixes including making those pngs) it showed up.

  • How can I make a bound drop-down list using OAF?

    Please note, this is for OAF. I am aware of the support in ADF.
    I'm sorry this is such a basic question, but I've been trying for days, and I can't think of anywhere else to look for an answer.
    I need a simple drop-down list, not a search. This particular list only has 10 or so items. It is based on a view containing a code value, and a description. I need all descriptions to be available at all times. Just click the arrow, and the entire list is displayed. When the user selects an entry, the code associated with the discription populates a bound attribute. Ideally, when the page is instantiated, the code value controls the text value visible in the collapsed drop-down list. Visually, it would be similar to an html <select> element.
    Can someone please tell me how I can produce such a simple thing, or point me to some documentation?
    Thank you.

  • How Can I Make a Text File that Lists Files in a Finder Folder?

    I would like to email lists of files in my various Finder folders. I have Mac OS X (10.4.6). Finder works nicely, but I cannot figure out how to save a list of file names. Can I get advice? Thank you.

    I'd like to thank "roam" for the link http://www.searchwaresolutions.com which opened a site for "printwindow" for Mac OS. Wow!! That was easy! It's a free download for the standard product which luckily worked for me. After downloading PrintWindow, and putting it in my Applications and reading PDF instructions, I opened PrintWindow and clicked "File". Then I chose "Print Folder Listing", clicked that and see "Print Listing" of all my Mac's folders. Then, I selected the folder for which I wanted the file names listed on paper. Then it opens a Print Options menu. I clicked Print. Then, a "Page Setup" menu appears. I clicked "OK". Then a "Print" menu appears. On the "Print" menu, there is a PDF options menu!! On that, there is a "Save as PDF"!! I clicked "Save as PDF" and then there is a small "Save" menu where I typed a new file name and the folder in which I wanted the listing saved. It worked! Thank you.

  • How can I make a spectrogra​m from a soundwavef​orm using the intensity chart function?

    I want to make a spectrogram for a sound waveform where the x-axis is time, the y-axis is frequency, and the intensity is amplitude. I performed a DFT on the sound waveform, then used it as an input to the intensity chart function. Every time I run my program the x-axis has a scale from 0 to 1 sec, when my sound is longer. The y-axis doesn't give me the same range of frequencies as the DFT. The intensity scale is correct. Can anyone suggest another approach? The labview example did not help since I'm not generating an array and creating the intensity chart at the same time.

    Hello -
    You could probably use a 3D surface graph.
    I am including an attachment to show you what I mean. This example program is available here. I just made a few modifications to make it look as an intensity graph:
    1. By right clicking on the graph and going to CWGraph3D >> Properties and selecting the Grid Planes tab in the Graph tab, I unchecked the grids, to show just the graph. Then, I went to the 3D tab in the Graph tab, and selected Towards X-Y Plane in the View Direction section. Click OK.
    2. Then, I right clicked on the graph again and went to Advanced >> Enabled State and selected Disabled, so
    that the user cannot change the orientation any more.
    You can build your own plot using time and frequency as X & Y, and the amplitude will give you the color. You only need to adjust the orientation so that you can see it from �the top� and it looks like an intensity plot.
    Hope this helps.

  • How can I make my mail MOVE from inbox to a smart mailbox???

    Hi, I do business on my computer and I set up some smart mailboxes for some mail I get daily. However, the mail that goes into these smart mailboxes, doesn't seem to move there, now I have two copies of that mail. I want these files to MOVE OUT OF MY INBOX into these smart mailboxes, HOW do I do that? Or is that not the purpose of the smart mailboxes?
    Anyone have an answer?
    thanks

    Smart mailboxes are not separate folders that can store files, they are indexes to files that are stored elsewhere. The same mail item can appear in a dozen smart boxes, if it matches the criteria, but only in one normal mailboxes.
    Make some normal mailboxes and set up rules to sort your incoming mail to them.
