How do I delete part of a column without deleting the whole column

I'm trying to deleting certain cells within the same column but I don't know how without deleting the entire column.  It sounds so simple but I'm sure I'm overlooking something.  Thanks.

Bummer! Thought there would be something similar to Excel. 
Excel describes this in different terms, and the Excel user goes through a different set of steps, but the reality is that in Excel as in Numbers you are shifting content from one set of cells to another, not 'deleting cells'.
If you were actually 'deleting cells' from rows 2-11 of a column, then shifting all cells right of the deleted cells into the space left by the 'deleted' cells, one of the results would be that at the right edge of the table, rows 2 through 11 would end one column 'earlier' than the rest of the rows (from which 'cells' had NOT been deleted.
Excel: Select the cells whose content is to be replaced, tell Excel to 'delete cells'. Tell Excel which direction to move content to fill the cells. Excel moves that content into the emptied cells.
Numbers (method 1): Select the cells whose content is to be moved. Copy. Select the first cell that is to receive the content. Paste.
Numbers (method 1a): Select the cells whose content is to be moved. Drag the content to the first cell that is to receive the content. Drop.
Numbers (method 2): Select the cells whose content is to be moved. Press shift-command-X (or go Edit > Mark for Move. Select the first cell to receive the content. Press Shift-command-V (or go Edit > Move.

  • How I can set up text justify or Bold for the "whole column" of a Table

    Hi,
    It takes time to set up a cell of a Table (Front Panel)for Fonts, justify, Type ... imagine I have to set 1000 cells? Is there any better way to set up one shot for "all cells" in a column and for the "whole Table"? Any one can help me speed this up? Thanks.

    Hi Greg,
    On a related note I would like to ask you a question.
    I wrote an app. in 6.0.1 that took advantage of the defer panel updates option (that I learned about from you, thank you). I was very pleased with the effects.
    Since then, I have taked the same piece of code and have started to use it in another app that I am developing now in 6.1. I no longer see any performance differences using the defer scheme like I had seen earlier. Are the charts failing to "honor" the deferments in 6.1?
    Before you mentioned the table thing (above), I was just thinking that the charts have been updated such that the deferment does not make things any more efficient.
    So...
    Are the charts just faster now?
    or
    Are the charts not honoring...?
    or
    Is Ben just confused (it would not be the first time)?

  • How do I get text inside a table column to stretch the whole column width?

    Hi I am using JDeveloper Studio Edition Version 11.1.1.0.2.
    I have some tables where one of the columns are quite wide (700px) wide and some quite narrow 50px. It doesn´t look pretty. The input text inside the 50px column looks like it stretches out of the column and the inputtext in the 700px column leaves a big empty space in the right side of the column. What I had hoped for is columns which have the same padding to its content as a 100px column no matter the columns width. How do I do that? Do I have to use skinning?

    Well I don´t want the space on both sides of the input text to be that big either so that doesn´t solve the problem.

  • How do I add songs to my iPod without erasing the whole ****?

    Hi,
    perhaps I slould have also added to chek the option "Sync only checked songs and videos", down on the "Summary" window of iTunes, it should be selected. On the specific window/s for music, movies..., select the option/s accordingly.

    Ps.: I assume that U have previously dawnloaded the music/videos/ movies, etc legally with iTunes or a compatible software. And previously downloaded the content of the iPod from your iTunes music. library.

    Not true at all.
    You only buy the right to your own personal use.

    This is illegal.  There is no doubt about it

    How to delete duplicate songs from libary without deleting them from playlist or other devices

    I'm with you verm71; it's not entirely clear how Apple is expecting you to manage this.  I'm going on vacation soon and want to clean up my phone so that it's nice and empty for the new pictures.  There doesn't seem to be a way to do this without losing your pictures in the new Photos as well.  If imported, it's impossible to see which is the Cloud version and which is the Local version.  It's very annoying.
    I've also noticed in iPhoto you used to have the ability to locate the original of the picture inside the photo database.  That option is not provided in Photos, making finding the original extremely difficult.
    It seems to be a great, well-oiled system.  But I would love to know how Apple envisions the typical workflow for archiving...

    The way that I understand that it works, is that the photos are not copied into the new albums, instead it just points to the photos - the number of photos on the iPad in Settings > General > About doesn't increase when you create new album so I assume from that that it isn't copying the photo, just pointing to it. So if you delete the photo from the camera roll you will therefore also be deleting all the pointers to it
