How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

Hi Dd,
If you want the next date automaitcally  filled in when you add a row to the bottom of the table, you can use a formula.
Here's an example, done in Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09). The method is basically the same in Numbers 3.
Formulas in row 3:
B3: =B2+1
C3: =C2+7
D3: =D2+14
These have been filled down to the last row of the table.
The same table is shown below after three rows have been added by dragging the Row control handle (below the tab for row 7) down. No changes other than adding thse three rows were made by the user.
Note that rows 1 and 2 are header rows, and that row 2 contains the starting date for the seraies of date in each column. In the formula, the number at the end tells Numbers how many days to add to the previous date to get the next date.
Autofill of the formula requires that every non-header cell located above the cell into which the formula is to be filled contains the same formula.
Regards,
Barry

  • How can I get Illustrator to automatically resize the font to a designated page width?

    I want to be able to type lines of text and have Illustrator automatically change the font size so that it fits that width of the page exactly, even if on one line there are 8 words and on another line there are 2 words - I want the big and small letters effect. I was previously doing this in Photoshop manually but someone suggested I could do it easier in Illustrator so here I am....
    Thanks.
    Jay

    each line has to be a separate text object (point text, not area text)
    use this version, as SRiegel pointed out, the script was missing a line
    #target Illustrator
    //  script.name = textBlock_CS4.jsx; // not tested on CS5 yet.
    //  script.description = converts selected point textFrames into a Block of Text;
    //  script.required = one document with at least two selected text frames;
    //  script.parent = carlos canto // 12/4/11;
    //  script.elegant = false;
    if (app.documents.length > 0)
            var idoc = app.activeDocument;
            var sel = idoc.selection;
      if (sel.length>1)
      var width = prompt ("Enter desired Text Block width in Points", 300, "Text Block"); //
      if (width!=null) // quit if pressed Cancel
      var dupLayer = idoc.layers.add(); // add a layer to place the new block of text
      dupLayer.name = "Text Block";
      var blockGrp = dupLayer.groupItems.add(); // add a group to final output
      blockGrp.name = "Text Block";
      var left = idoc.width/3; // place block at the bottom 3rd of the page
      var top = idoc.height/3
      var spacingMM = prompt ("Enter spacing in Millimeters", 2, "Text Block"); // text lines spacing in mm
      var spacingPts = new UnitValue(spacingMM,"mm").as ("pt") // convert to points
      for (i=0; i<sel.length; i++) // loop thru selection
      if (sel[i].typename == "TextFrame") { // continue if textFrame, ignore other pageItems
      var itext = sel[i].duplicate(blockGrp, ElementPlacement.PLACEATEND); // duplicate text
      itext.selected = false; // deselect it
      grpName = itext.contents; // get contents to name outline group
      var ioutlined = itext.createOutline(); // create outlines
      ioutlined.name = grpName; // rename group

  • How do I get photos to automatically have the ken burns effect in final cut?

    New to Final Cut Pro X- would appreciate any help.  I have several photos and want to apply the ken Burns effect, but when I select all and apply the effect, they all have the same movement.  Is there a way to have the automatically have the ken burns effect such as in iMovie 11? 
    Thanks!

    It's a few more steps. But you could create a zoom-in for a clip on your timeline, copy it and then select every other clip that you want to zoom in on, and go to Edit>Paste Effects. The KB effect will be applied to each of the selected clips. Then do a KB  reverse zoom with the clip adjacent to the first clip you copied. Copy that and repeat the Paste Effects process for the alternate clips. Hope that's clear.

  • When deleting a message in mail, how do you get it to advance to the next message? whenever i delete a message it goes back to the previous message.

    when trying to delete a message in mail, i would prefer to advance to the next message. i delete a message and the curser goes back to an earlier message. i usually delete the most recent messages first.

    First of all, you've posted in the Snow Leopard forum, but your profile says you're running Leopard, not Snow Leopard. What version of Mac OS X are you really running? You should always be sure that your profile matches the forum you're posting in, otherwise the "solution" to your problem may be totally ineffective.
    Part of your problem is that deleting Mail messages depends on how you have them ordered. If they are listed in Descending Date order (most recent at the top), and you want to delete a series of consecutive emails from an earlier time, you should select the last one in that group and press the Delete key; with each one that's deleted, the selection will move to the next one up the list. You could also select the first one in the group, then Shift-click on the last one in the group and press Delete to get rid of them in one step.
    If you have them listed in Date Ascending order (most recent at the bottom), you would have to select the oldest message(s) you want to delete and select it (or them) and press the Delete key, and the selection would move down the list to the next most recent message in the window.

  • When i add an invoice number on 'overview' sheet want it to automatically add the same data to client's individual transaction sheet?

    Hi,
    Im fairly new to numbers and have had limited experience to spredsheet based programs, so bare with me and i already appreciate your time to help!
    Apologise on the question description but, im attempting fairly indepth equations for my business and once all set up and learnt it will help a great deal!
    So, I have an overview sheet including all sent invoices to all clients. I am having to link each cell one at a time between the overview sheet and the clients individual sheet so the data is viewable on both sheets. I want numbers to transfer the data from my overview sheet to the corresponding clients individual sheet based on the invoice number i input. eg. invoice numbers system is 101 for my first invoice 102 is my second invoice . I then add a client number eg. 101 is client 1. 102 is client 2 so my invoice numbering system would be 101 - 101 or 101 - 102 (invoice number first then client number). when i add a clients number i want numbers to add that line of data (sales amount and dates) to the clients sheet.
    Is that possible?
    Thanks so much for taking the time to look and hope it's not to confusing!
    Ian

    Hi Ian,
    As I read your description:
    You have a Main table ("Overview") on which you record ALL invoices.
    You want, for each client, a table on which only the data for invoices issued to that client will appear.
    Each client will be identified by a client number, and that client number will form part of the invoice number.
    Certainly possible, but I'd suggest a few changes to whaty you're starting with.
    Place the client number and the invoice serial number into separate columns (or split off the customer number into a separate column, You want to transfer/copy every record for a specific customer into that customer's individual sheet. Here's a short example:
    I have entered the invoice numbers as you described them in column B of Main.
    Column E extractsthe three digit client number using this formula:
    E2, and Filled Down: =IF(LEN(B)>6,RIGHT(B,3),"")
    Column F creates a client index by copying the cient number from column C, then counting the number of occurrences of that number are found from the top of column C to the current row, and appends that number to the end of the customer number.
    F2, and filled down: =C2&COUNTIF($C$1:C2,C2)
    These two columns should be added to the right of the existing table, and may be hidden.
    On the individual table, Haydn 101, there is one formula, filled to all cells.
    The basic formula is:
    =OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH($A$1&ROW()-1,Main :: $F,0)-1,COLUMN()-1)
    which returns the results for as many ,ines as there are transactions to transfer, and produces error messages after that.
    To avoid the error messages, and produce 'empty' cells, add the following error trap, using the IFERROR function (bold added to show addition):
    =IFERROR(OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH($A$1&ROW()-1,Main :: $F,0)-1,COLUMN()-1),"")
    Fill the formula down column A, then Fill right for as many columns as are needed.
    The individual tables, Ives 102 and Scarlatti 103 are duplicates of Haydn 101. Only the Client Number, in cell A1(and the name of the table) are changed.

    Barry

  • How can I get iTunes to automatically find the file for songs marked with ! without manually doing each one?

    Ok, we've had a problem with our external hard drive which holds all of our music files (our H drive).  It's the 2nd time going down and we're just chalking it up as a failure.  Fortunately, we had it all backed up onto another external hard drive (our G drive).  We re-did iTunes back in February (bringing all the files in, sorting, playlists, etc) after fixing it the first time.  So I have that exact files from then (on the G drive) minus a new CD or two, nothing major.  But when I open that iTunes library, it doesn't find the music that is connected to it - even though all the music is in the folder connected to the library (all in G drive).  I'm not sure if this file is still trying to look for my H drive folder.
    I found a previous question asked on here about the ! songs.  I brought in all the music from the iTunes/Music folder.  So of course, I have double now.  I would just go delete all the rest - except for this.  What about my playlists??   I don't really want to recreate each one manually.  I have also adjusted a ton of info in iTunes over the years to make things easier (fixed spelling when it brings it from a CD wrong, etc).  That brings me back to wondering if I could have iTunes automatically search for its own file instead of me doing it for 7,500+ songs.
    Any ideas??   Or am I just stuck doing a lot of work?
    Thanks!

    If what is on the G: drive is a mirror of what was on the H: drive, then get Windows to change the drive letter of G: to H:
    If a simple fix isn't forthcoming then my FindTracks script should be able to reconnect the missing tracks to iTunes. FindTracks uses some fuzzy matching routines and searches for multiple potential locations. For more details see this thread.

  • When I open Firefox, it is not automatically opening a network connection. I have to manually open the network connection before browsing. How do I get Firefox to automatically open the connection?

    I have to click on the network connections icon and ask it to refresh before Firefox makes the connection. This never happened with Explorer and I don't remember it happening the first few months with Firefox. Did I foul up my settings somehow? Or add plug-in or extension that is causing this?

  • How can I make iTunes 11 automatically play the next album?

    Before iTunes 11, I could just double-click on a cover art to start the album and everything would flow from there, playing the next album in the library once it was finished and so on.
    Now, if I do that (in Album view or Artist view), it plays only that album and stops. If I press que Play button at the top of the Artist view, it plays all the albums. But I can't just start listening to an artists' albums from, example, the third one or fourth one. It's either all or one at a time.
    And yeah, I know about playlists. I didn't used them before because I didn't have to.

    I agree, this is a ridiculous change.  The "play" arrow next to the title of the album on the expanded view does nothing; neither does the play option from the context menu when I right click on an album cover.  I'm using iTunes 11 on a Windows 7 laptop.  Does anyone else have this issue?  Very lame.

  • How do I get images to automatically center in a picture box?

    How do I get images to automatically center in a picture box (e.g. place a picture box on a master page and set it so that any image placed inside will automatically center, but not scale)? This was a simple procedure in CS5 (set "Fitting Options" to 'center' by clicking on the center box in the 9-box centering tool) but seems to have disappeared in CS6/CC. Am I missing something?

    Hi and thanks. Actually, my problem is with setting the properties of the image frame to 'align center' before an image is placed, allowing me to place large numbers of images and having them automatically center instead of me centering each one manually. Even when I create an object style the frame will not hold any alignment settings and apply them to the image being placed (unless some manner of scaling has been chosen, which is not something I want). There are work-arounds I have used but it would be nice to be able to just put a picture box on a master page, set it to align it's contents to the center and just be done with it . Thanks though.
