How do I add amounts in a single cell?

I keep a simple worksheet of my expenditures. Rows are categories; columns are months. I've been doing this with Excel but I am trying to switch to Numbers. I can't figure out how to add data within a single cell with Numbers, i.e. multiple grocery expenses for March.

Cristina,
I'm not a very good person to ask about Excel or what is like Excel. I left Excel behind about nine years ago.
This will work though:
Let's say you have items worth $1.75, $12.00 and $7.50. To add them, click once on a blank cell and type:
=1.75+12.00+7.50 then click the green checkmark or hit Return twice. Then assure that the cell is formatted as Currency with 2 places after the decimal point.
The display will look like this:
To add another item, double-click the cell and append the formula. To add a $5.00 item, you would type:
+5.00
and hit Return twice.

How do I add vertical text in a cell

How can I add vertical text within a cell. In Ecel it is easy as pie but I can't seem to find a quick fix in "numbers"?

Rotation of text in a table cell is not supported in Numbers.
The most often recommended workarouns is to use a floating text box. Rotate the box 90° (or other desired value), make sure that Wrap is set to 'none', then place the text box in front of the cell.
For other suggestions, see some of the posts in the "more like this" list to the right.
Step 2 is to make a request to Apple that this feature be added. Go to the Numbers menu in Numbers, choose Provide Numbers Feedback (or use the link), make your request that this feature be added to future versions of Numbers.

How can I add sound to a single slide?

I would like to add sound to a single slide so that it plays while the slide is being shown. Is there a way to do that in Lightroom 5?

In Lightroom, you would have to create a slideshow using that one slide. Then you would add the sound to the slideshow.

How do I add email address to a cell in a Numbers spreadsheet without the appearance automatically changing color and underlining? In Excel, I would add an apostrophe at the beginning which would keep this from happening.

Uncheck the indicated checkbox.

For future questions, please indicate the versions of Numbers and of OS X you are using, as answers will differe depending on this information.

How can I add action listener to a cell or row in a table?

hi there
I need to be able to click on one cell or one row in a table, and perform some action, like openning a dialog or something. how can i add listener?

// See How to Use Tables in tutorial. You will get one idea about Table Renderer and Editors.
// If u understand the concept, ur problem is very easy to solve by adding Editor to your column.
"You can think of the renderer as a configurable ink stamp that the table uses to stamp appropriately formatted data onto each cell. When the user starts to edit a cell's data, a cell editor takes over the cell, controlling the cell's editing behavior.
Here, While tabing thru the table row, default all cell editors are JLabels. (Not editables)
So u can make it those cells are editable JTextFields or JComboBoxes based on the column while tabbing. And you can add Listeners to that fields too. So those editable fields are called Editor Components.
// see javax.swing.DefaultCellEditor class for more description
Here i am adding my own JTextField editor to 3rd column of a table by using
mytable.getColumnModel().getColumn(2).setCellEditor(editor );
Here editor is a obj of below class. (Not complete..class)
public class JbuiEditor extends DefaultCellEditor implements // any listener {
public JbuiEditor(JTextField tField) {
super(tField);
setClickCountToStart(1);
tField.addFocusListener(this);
this.editorComponent = tField;
public Component getComponent(){
     return editorComponent;
public Component getTreeCellEditorComponent(JTree tree, Object value,
                              boolean isSelected,
                              boolean expanded,
                              boolean leaf, int row) {
     String StringValue = tree.convertValueToText(value, isSelected,
                         expanded, leaf, row, false);
     delegate.setValue(stringValue);
     return editorComponent;
public Object getCellEditorValue() {
return super.getCellEditorValue();
public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,int row, int column) {
super.getTableCellEditorComponent(table,value,isSelected,row,column);
((JTextField)editorComponent).setText(value.toString());
//Here u can add any type of listener to this Editor component.like..
((JTextField)editorComponent).addActionListener(..);
((JTextField)editorComponent).addFocusListener(..);
return editorComponent;
Hope gives some idea.

How to display time difference in a single cell separately.

Hi All,
I have an issue where you have to calculate the Start time and End Time , Start Date and End Date for a particular Work item number
For eg ;

Hi Kewin,
Its not the question of concatenation, that can be handled later.
But my issue is how to calculate time difference for each single step

How do I add a comment to a cell in Numbers for iCloud beta like I can in Numbers for ios???

I can't be the only person to find it incredibly frustrating that it seems impossible to add a comment to a cell in beta. I use this function a lot on my ipad - is it really not available in beta?? And if not, why not??

Hey lolitajoon,
Thanks for the question. You are correct, comments are hidden from all iWork apps when imported to iWork for iCloud beta. Please note that the current release of Numbers for iCloud is a beta version. Therefore, certain features aren’t yet supported.

How do i add multiple lines in a cell (like a list) in Excel for MAC?

I'm trying to add multiple lines (in the form of a list) in a individual cell in Excel for MAC. I used ALT Enter on my PC but that doesn't work on the iMac. Does anyone know how to do this?
Thanks!

It's been a while but I think you hold SHIFT while typing a page break (RETURN) to make a new line without shifting to another cell.
However, as Excel isn't an Apple product, I am sure you will get a faster and more current answer by using Microsoft's Office:Mac forums here:
Office for Mac forums
They are very good.

How do I add multiple lines to a cell

I am trying to create an assignment sheet in Numbers. I am using the "Schedule" template. Under each day of the week, I want to add daily assignments. But each assignment may need multiple lines. In the screenshot below, I want to add another line under "Genesis 5" but still have it within the same cell. How can I do that?

I do extensive research build on the work of others

How can I add a link in a cell in pages to another document

Hello I am new to this so be gentle with me
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to add a link in a (table) cell in pages to another document on my Mac, so when I click on it, it will take me to the document
Many Thanks
Charles

As far as I remember you couldn't do it in PAges 09 and Pages 5 has lost over 90 features that Pages 09 has so I would say no you can't. I can't test it right now. I had a quick look in the help (http://help.apple.com/pages/mac/5.0/?lang=en) and could find that you could link to another document from anywhere let alone a table cell.

Insert or delete single cells

How do I insert or delete a single cell?
For example, I want two columns of text. aligned horizontally, and, separated by a blank column.
The two text lists have been created in other applications.
So I copy list1, and paste it in cell C7.
Then I copy list2, and paste it cell G6.
oops. Now the lists are not aligned horizontally.
The easiest way to align the lists is by either delete a single cell in column C or insert a single cell in column G.
But I can't find the option to add/delete single cells.
Does that option exist in Numbers? If so, how/where?
Thanks,
AJ

AJ,
My first thought on reading your post was: why are you using a single table for two side-by-side lists? If you had used two single-column tables you could use Delete Row or Insert Row to do what you want.
pw and John both gave you perfectly good solutions, and I just wanted to add my two cents worth. I don't see much value in the Add/Delete Cell feature that you are looking for. The action never ends there because there's always a followup question as to what you want to do with the data to the right of and below the affected cell. So, it hasn't saved you any real time.
Numbers has a very handy and secure method for moving a range of data. Highlight the range that you want to move. Then, Edit > Mark for Move. Now, click in the new starting location and Edit > Move.
There you go; several ways to recover from the inevitable oops. Depending on how soon you discover your mistake, Command-Z is probably the easiest fix.

Add action listener to table cell

The topic of my previous thread was:
How can I get characters, which user inputs into table cell?
I've added lisateners to table:
table.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {
            public void keyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){
                System.out.println("keyPressed");
            public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){
                System.out.println("keyReleased");
            public void keyTyped(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
                System.out.println("keyTyped");
        });But it's not exactly what I need.
I need to do the same, but with table cell.
I want to see user input char by char and set color font for user input string.
How can I add action listener to tble cell?

This is my newly created JTextField which I will use as CellEditor for My JTable
JTextField textField = new JTextField(); //creating Component
        textField.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter(){ //adding KeyListener
            public void keyReleased(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt){
                System.out.println("keyReleased" + ((JTextField)evt.getSource()).getText() + "column = " +table.getSelectedColumn());//test functionality
                if ( isColumnHasSameValue(table.getSelectedRow(),table.getSelectedColumn(), ((JTextField)evt.getSource()).getText() ) ){//test column for equal values
                    ((JTextField)evt.getSource()).setForeground(Color.RED); //if there is equal value set Color.RED for JTextField text
                else{ //else set Color.BLACK
                    ((JTextField)evt.getSource()).setForeground(Color.BLACK);
        table.getColumnModel().getColumn(1).setCellEditor(new DefaultCellEditor(textField)); //set custom CellEditor
private boolean isColumnHasSameValue(int row, int column, String testVal){
        testVal = testVal.trim().toLowerCase(); //put away UpperCase and empty spaces
        for(int i=0;i<model.getRowCount();i++){
           if(i == row){
               continue;//skip selected row where user inputs text
           if(model.getValueAt(i,column).toString().trim().toLowerCase().startsWith(testVal)){
                return true; //if test passed
        return false; //if there are no mathes
    }I have a question:
It seems to me, I did not use optimal solution for JTable values testing.
What can ty else?
Maybe, It is better to use
tableModel.getDataVector();And then use Pattern and Matcher ?
Am I right?
