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!!

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?

Preserving row and column addresses

How can I preserve row & column addresses on multiple cells in Numbers? This question has been asked before but I can't find the answer.

In general, you have to do each one separately. For 5 cell references, it would be no big deal to do them individually. But it feels like you have something more complicated in mind. If you clue us in about what you are doing and what you are trying to accomplish, maybe there is some trick that can be done. Screenshots are usually helpful.
I don't know if it is a time saver but one way to do multiple cells would be:
Starting with =SUM(B2
Change the B2 into $B$2 using the checkboxes
Copy the $B$2
Add a comma to the formula then paste to get =SUM($B$2,$B$2
Repeat until you have the correct number of cell references and finish up with a closing parenthesis
One by one, click on a cell reference then use your mouse on your table to drag that reference to another cell.
Another way might be
Starting with =SUM($B$2
Copy the $B$
Type a comma, Paste the $B$, type in the row number for the next cell reference
Repeat until you have all the cell references then end with a closing parenthesis.

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.

CS3 - How can I preserve Links and Hyperlinks in my INDB?

I am still pretty new to ID, so please speak slowly :)
My problem - I create an INDB that consists of several indd chapters. The chapters include numerous Links (to PNG & PSD images) and Hyperlinks both to Text anchors to other chapters within the INDB, as well as to URLs. I have all items saved on my local HD. Once complete, I do "Package for Print", check the Preflight report to make sure all is OK (it is) and then save the new INDB folder in a new location on my local HD. This all seems to work just fine, BUT if I move this packaged INDB folder (such as to a backup drive, or give to another worker that copies it to their HD), upon opening the INDB file, some links and Hyperlinks are broken.
It seems that these broken Links and Hyperlinks are still pointing to the original locations on my HD. But obviously not all are, since most links/hyperlinks DO work fine. The Hyperlinks to Text anchors within other indd chapters seem to typically break. Is there a way to force these to reference the packaged assets within the INDB folder? Seems ID would be smart enough to look there itself!
Also, I was creating some Hyperlinks as "cross referenced" - that is, I created a URL Hyperlink Destination in Chapter 1 indd and then created Hyperlinks pointing to it from other chapter indd in the book. I have learned that these ALWAYS break in the above scenario, so I started creating the URL destination within the same chapter indd and pointing to it there rather than across chapters. But this is just more work to keep re-creating the same URL destination in every indd!
I'll keep running into these problems since I need to share my finished INDB with other CS3 users. I also would like to be able to do a Save As of the INDB when creating a revised, newer version, but I see this also results in the new INDB links/hyperlinks still pointing to the original INDB's assets! Any way to make the Save As update the Links/Hyperlinks in the new INDB?
Thanks greatly for any insight. I can find no help in the Help on these issues!

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 to layout constraint rows and columns "right"?

Hi.
I have a complex constraint layout with 8 columns and 11 rows. Since this layout is not an MXML-file, I need to do it in actionscript. Is there a "best pratice" on how to layout this without the Design view in Flash Builder?
Is it possible to display the columns and rows like in HTML, where I could say "border=1" or use css?
Regards,
Jo

What makes you think that it is not there? Any form which doesn't have the same set of members across rows and dimensions are asymmetric.
Asymmetric rows and columns contain different sets of members selected across the same dimensions
Oracle Hyperion Planning, Fusion Edition Administrator's Guide
I can add a column with only Q1 and then another column with Q2, Q3, Q4 which will make it an asymmetric form. Keep in mind not to check "Place selection in separate columns".

How can i use row set iterator to create multiple dummy detail rows upfront

Hello i am new to ADF and jdeveloper and have a Forms 9i/PLSQL background.
I have a 1 to many master to detail view link and 2 vo's one for each of the master and detail table.
I am trying unsuccsessfully to create 7 unique detail rows up front to populate at a later stage.
I have created a master record with primary key being staff number and week ending date.
i then use code below to try and create 7 detail records - P.S i have trimmed it to the first 2 for demonstration.
I am using
RowSetIterator rsi = this.mydetailVO.getRowSetIterator();
Row newRow1=rsi.createRow();
newRow1.setAttribute("Staff Num","123456A");
newRow1.setAttribute("Week_Ending_Date", "2010-01-01");
newRow1.setAttribute("Claim_Date", "2010-01-01");
newRow1.setAttribute("Day", "Sun");
rsi.insertRow(newRow1);
Row newRow2=rsi.createRow();
newRow2.setAttribute("Staff Num","123456A");
newRow2.setAttribute("Week_Ending_Date", "2010-01-01");
newRow2.setAttribute("Claim_Date", "2010-01-02");
newRow2.setAttribute("Day", "Sat");
rsi.insertRow(newRow2);
However it does create two rows but it always writes over the first row with the details of the second row so they are not unique.
How can i get a new unique row inserted with different details to the firat and how then do i access it uniquely.
Thanks

John thanks for reply.
I have tried the following and still i get 2 rows created but the first one gets overwritten with the last one. I'm confused as to why the inbuilt insert row doesnt move it on to the next available row. Any idea what i'm not doing in between inserting rows?
ViewObject vo1 = this.getmyVO1();
vo1.executeQuery();
Row newRow1 = vo1.createRow();
newRow1.setAttribute("Staff Number","123456A");
newRow1.setAttribute("Week_end_date", "2010-04-04");
newRow1.setAttribute("Date", "2010-04-01");
newRow1.setAttribute("Day", "Sun");
vo1.insertRow(newRow1);
Row newRow2 = vo1.createRow();
newRow2.setAttribute("Staff Number","123456A");
newRow2.setAttribute("Week_end_date", "2010-04-04");
newRow2.setAttribute("Date", "2010-04-03");
newRow2.setAttribute("Day", "Sat");
vo1.insertRow(newRow2);
P.S Yes they are dates but i made them strings for the time being until i get this working thanks for noticing.

How to get the Row and Column values in ALV (without using Objects)

Hi All,
I need to get the Row / Column when double click is used in ALV, I can use the double click event for this. However, I do not want to use the Object Oriented ALV. I want to implement the same functionality using general (using functions) ALV.
Is there any way to get the row / column values for a Generia (non-OOPs) ALV report.
Please help.
Thanks,
Vishal.

Hello,
The only think you have to do is to get the index where the user clicked, and then read the internal table you sent to the alv
CALL FUNCTION 'REUSE_ALV_GRID_DISPLAY'
 EXPORTING
 i_callback_program = 'prg_name'
 i_callback_pf_status_set = 'SET_PF_STATUS'
 i_callback_user_command = 'USER_COMMAND' " this is to the click event!!
 i_callback_top_of_page = 'TOP_OF_PAGE'
 is_layout = alv_layout
 it_fieldcat = alv_fieldcat
 i_save = 'A'
 it_events = alv_events[]
 TABLES
 t_outtab = i_totmez. ---> TOUR IT.
IF sy-subrc <> 0.
 MESSAGE ID sy-msgid TYPE sy-msgty NUMBER sy-msgno
 WITH sy-msgv1 sy-msgv2 sy-msgv3 sy-msgv4.
ENDIF.
" then....
FORM user_commandUSING r_ucomm TYPE sy-ucomm
 ls_selfield TYPE slis_selfield.
" r_ucomm -> HAS THE STATUS
" ls_selfield-tabindex -> HAS THE SELECTED INDEX
" THEN READ THE INTERNAL TABLE
" HERE YOU WILL HAVE THE SELECTED ROW
READ TABLE i_totmez INDEX ls_selfield-tabindex.
ENDFORM.

How can I set up and email address for my grandson without giving him general access to the internet? email only

My grandson's school needs him to have his own email address. For some reason, his is not able to use my address. I do not want him to have general access to the internet. His older brother caused my computer to be infected with a virus in a very short time. It took three weeks and one hundred dollars to get the use of my computer back.
I do not want him to have access to the internet, but his school wants him to have an email address to communicate with him about school work. I am concerned that once he has an email address, someone (not the school) will send him a web site address in a message and he will be able to just click on it to get into the internet.

You can use an email program (e.g. Outlook Express or Windows Live or Thunderbird) and disable HTML for that email (text only mode) to access the email account. You can create a new email account if your your ISP supports it or use a online service that allows POP3 access with an email program (most popular services allow that).

How can I show author and the time of a cell comment (not the annotation) in FRS?

I have FRS report in which one of the columns is displaying comments entered for the data cells in Planning. Using CelText() I can show the comments them selves, but not the Author and the Date (which are visible when you select Comments in the Planning web form or SmartView). I tried the Annotation() but its not working (as expected).
Am I missing some other function, un-documented feature, or an argument here?
Thanks,
M. Sladic

Hi,
Can you please use the CellText as annotation function in FR Studio.
The steps:
1) Add planning comment with admin account using planning interface.
2) Display as Annotation option is checked in Studio.
3) When the report is run in web viewer this planning comment is shown as a read-only cell-text annotation the author is admin
regards,
Harish.

Row and Column Template in Hyperion Reporting

Hi
Whenver I am trying to save a column of a report as a template , it is giving an error :
"The selected columns contain one or more of the items below that cannot be included in templates:
Invalid Input "
I am not sure what does this mean. Though I have already deselected the "Link to Source Object". Can anyone suggest ?

it may also worth cross checking below form doc:
a.If your row and column template contains formulas with external references (for
example, to cells outside of the selected row and column template), you are prompted
to modify those formulas before saving the row or column template.
Note: You can save a row and column template that contains cell formulas, as these can
be discarded. For more information, see step 9.c on page 115.
b. If a secondary database connection was specified within the row and column template,
a dialog box displays prompting you to continue saving the template. If you save the
template, the secondary database connection you specified in the row and column
template is discarded. The primary database connection is then used for the row and
column template.
c. If unsupported properties are found, an Information dialog box presents a list of
properties to discard before saving the template. For example, if the row and column
template contains a cell formula, you can choose to save the template without the
formula or not save the template.

Hyperion Reports - Row and Column templates

Sorry if this may be a bit basic but we are new to Hyperionreports. Currently we are going through a redesign process and washoping to get some viewpoints on the benefits of using row andcolumn templates within reports. I am looking at this option butgetting frustrated by the limitations around formatting, etc Are there any views out there on the preferred options. We havea particular style in design we need to include which is becomingdifficult when we use row and column templates
