How do I link to information in cells within other Numbers documents?

I am trying to simplify my staff wages. I have a Numbers document with 12 sheets (months) each with one table showing staff, pay deductions etc.
I want to have 6 other documents (one for each member of staff); each of which will have 12 sheets (months). These will house 12 identical payslips, one for each month. I need each cell to auto-fill from the associated cell in the overview Numbers document.
I created this in Excel but when I imported it, Numbers is happy with the overview document but the not the formulae importing figures from other the document.
I'm sure I should be able to do this, but I ain't wiz enough.
I hope I've managed to convey what I'm trying to do, and I hope someone can help me.

There is no link between two Numbers documents.
The easy workaround is to create new sheets dedicated to what is, at this time, stored in other documents.
And of course,
_Go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu_, explain politely that you wish to be able to insert links between document.
Then, cross your fingers, and wait _at least_ for iWork'11

How can I copy a playlist into a pages or numbers document?

How can I copy a playlist into a pages or numbers document?

Open the Playlist.
File>Print.
In the Print settings, select Save as PDF
Open Pages and a new document
Open the PDF with Preview or Reader
Select ALL text in the PDF
Copy
Paste into the Pages document.
That's a long way to do it unless you know of a way to import PDFs into iWork.

How can I link two charts on different pages in one document?

I have a chart on the first page How cn aI link two charts on differnetof my document. The last line is a intermediate total (formula). How can I link the chart on the next page to this total, so I can go on with the calculation without having to copy and paste the result of the first chart?

Timan,
I'm sure that you could figure out how to get along with Pages, or Numbers. Each has it's own advantages and disadvantages.
If you put all your text that doesn't need to be in the table into text boxes, you can place the text boxes over the table in any arrangement you like. Be sure to turn off Object Causes Wrap in the Wrap Inspector.
Here is an example of a single table across two pages with other text on the page:
The formula in the cell displaying 500 is =B1 * 100
On the other hand, I agree that the feature of linking to sister tables would be a nice enhancement and I encourage you to submit the idea vie Pages > Feedback > Enhancement Request.

Share cell data between Numbers documents

I know that keynote can reference a table from Numbers and remain updated as that table updates. Can the same be done from one Numbers document to another? Can I have say, one commonly accessed table in a document that many other documents would have a path to and access. Or said more simply can seprate Numbers Documents share cell information?
Thanks

Hi k,
I hope you also saw in other threads the recommendation to Provide Numbers Feedback to Apple where there are features you would find it useful to include in future Numbers versions. You'll find Provide Numbers Feedback in the Numbers menu in Numbers '09.

How do I link input of one cell to another cell in an Adobe Form

I am trying to link particular cells in a form so the input of those cells are also displayed in a line at the bottom of the form. The line would look like...
Form Name : LastName : FirstName : Start Date : End Date If I am able to do this, I would then like that line to appear in the subject line of the outgoing email.

How do I link to an anchor point within a web page from within a PDF

Hello,
Can someone tell me how to link to an anchor point on a webpage from within a PDF?
I created a page in Word and when i add my url with the # to reference the anchor eg. www.google.com/web#test1 and test the link it all works fine. I then create a PDF of this same page however the PDF seems to strip out the URL and looks to reference a file #test1.
Any suggestions, ideas?
Thanks

How can I link to my website home page other than by referring to it via /index.html.

Hi,
I understand that it's better if the home page links within my site resolve to my domain name rather than to domain name and the suffix /index.html.
This can be achieved by specifying an absolute URL, but is there a better alternative method?
Advice would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
Andy

The concern is SEO. When Google search links are followed to my home page the URL shows as http://www.mydomain.co uk but when home page links are clicked within the site, the same page shows a URL of http://www.mydomain.co.uk/index.html (the home page id within the site). I've been advised that in both circumstances the URL should ideally be the same. I honestly don't know whether it's something I should be concerned about, but if it's easy to accomplish I'll do it. (There's nothing special about the site, no intro page before the content or anything similar).

Referencing cells in other numbers spreadsheet files

A couple of questions:
1)I have two sheets (Sheet A and Sheet b) in the same file. Both sheets have a single table named Table 1 in them. I can double tap on a cell in Sheet A Table 1, tap on the equal sign in the entry box. I can then go to Sheet B Table 1 and double tap on a cell. Numbers inserts a reference of Sheet B::Table 1::Col Row. I can now change the value in Sheet B and Sheet A updates automatically. My question is can I type in the reference to the cell in Sheet B and not do all the finger tapping?
2)Can I type in a reference to another cell in a table on a sheet in another Numbers file located on my iPad. If not is there a way to tap to the reference?

I have had no luck typing in any formulas in iPad numbers directly. I can do it using the desktop version, but not the iPad. I found I had to do all the finger tapping the op mentions. Even to type simple formulas that I know how to do by heart, I had to search the function list and select the item from the list.
If I use the keyboard that comes up within the equation editor it places everything in quotes and sees it as text. Which doesn't invert to the actual equation. If I use the text input and type an equal sign with the equation it still sees it only as text.
If you know how to do the typing thing, please give us more in depth instructions on how to do this in numbers for iPad as that would be beneficial to a degree you annotate fathom.
Referencing the other file thing doesn't work in desktop at all, so thi is only reefing to how to get to type in my formuas by hand in. Single file, referring to a single file in iPad numbers.
Thanks

How can I prevent Message from showing home and other numbers?

Message+ is offering ALL the phone numbers in the database! It should only be offering mobile numbers. How can I make it be more selective? TIA

I re-read my initial posting and I should have been more clear. When I use Messenger+ to send texts, it offers me all the phone numbers in the Contacts list. It should NOT offer me the Home, Work, Fax numbers that cannot be sent texts.
Thanks.

(JTable) How can i get the first columns cell in a selected row?

Hello. I am trying to figure out how i can get the first columns cell within a selected row no matter what cell is selected in that row. I have a class that extends AbstractTableModel which represents the table. Now i have another class that extends DefaultSelectionModel. Each model is added to the JTable via setModel(TableModel dataModel), setSelectionModel(ListSelectionModel newModel). Now i don't understand what i have to return from getMaxSelectionIndex(). Any ides? Thanks.
class xTableModel extends AbstractTableModel{
     private static String[] cols;
     private Object[][] data;
        public void setTableModel(Object data[][], String[] cols){
         this.cols = cols;
         this.data = data;
        public String getColumnName(int col){
         return cols[col];
        public int getRowCount() {
         return data.length;
        public Object getValueAt(int row, int col) {
         return data[row][col];
        public void setValueAt(Object value,int row,int col){
         data[row][col]=value;
        public int getColumnCount(){

int row = table.getSelectedRow();
Object data = table.getValueAt(row, 0);

Referencing cells in other documents?

Is there a way to have a cell reference the value of a cell in another Numbers document?

I do it by typing "=" then use the mouse to navigate to the correct sheet & cell. You could type it your self but you have to know how many spaces separate the Sheet Name, etc...

How can I link specific cells in two different tables so the data from a specific cell in table A automatically updates in a specific cell in table B? It works in Xcel- Any ideas?

(1) your title ask the way to link different spreadsheets.
In Numberland, a spreadsheet is an entire document.
There is no way to link different documents.
(2) in the message, you ask the way to link different tables.
This feature is available and is described in iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide (which is available for free from the Help menu).
Getting the info just requires a simple search in this available resource !

ODM: How to link DFD Information Stores to Logical Model Entities

I have created a hierarchy of DFDs for my system :).
Some of the DFDs have Information stores on them.
Now I want to specify the Entities in each InformationStore.
I'd like to do this by linking the Information Stores to the Entities I have defined already in the Logical model/ERD.
However... in the Information Store Properties dialog box in the Entities section there is just a [xyz] button ??
I can't see how to link the Information stores on the DFD to my existing Entities.
I was epxecting to see + and - buttons and a dialog box that allowed me to select the Entities I have already created ?
Help !
(are Information Structures somehow involved as they have the + and - buttons) ??

Not good, because I want the Logical Model to drive the processes, not the other way around. The tool seems to be implementing a version of systems analysis that I can trace to DeMarco (1979). This was discovered to be sub-optimal, and documented as such by Flavin (1981), and McMenamin and Palmer (1984). Palmer's later work (unfortunately, mostly unpublished) showed in more detail exactly how the Logical Model should drive the Process Models, not the other way around.
Ideally, an Information Store could be associated to an Entity, and, when the analyst was ready (not before), balancing reports could be run to identify situations where the Entity had attributes that were never created, or never read. Other CASE tools have been able to do this for the last 20 years; it's not rocket science.
I would characterize the way the tool works now as "program-centric" rather than "data-centric."
By analogy, it reminds of a different, but also common programmer behavior, namely pestering the DBAs to denormalize everything, because it saves them (the programmers) from having to code joins.
Don't let programmers drive software methods, or the supporting software tools.

How to extract information in cells of a mult-column list box?

I have multi column list box. At run time this listbox allow me to select entire row (this is fine), how to extract the data from each cell along the selected row? It seems to me that the Multi column Listbox (MCL) is merely a 1D array (I guess index of this 1D array corresponds to row index of the MCL and value of the element corresponds to column index of MCL.)

To extract cell values of the selected row, you can create a property node for the MCL. From this property node, choose "Item Names". This is a 2D array containing all cell values. Index this array with the MCL terminal. Note that you must choose the scalar data type for the MCL. To choose the scalar data type, right click on the MCL and go to "Selection Mode"->"Data Type"->"Scalar".
See attachment written with LabVIEW 6.
I hope it will help you.

How to create Links in a cell to other Excel docs Cell in Planning layout

Hi All,
I have a requirement to replace an existing forecasting process using normal Excel with BPS with Excel in place. One difficulty I came across is that the existing Excel input template has cells with links to many other excel files so users does not to open all other Excel documents and copy and paste the figures in.
I am stuck on replicate this function in BPS as I cannot create links to to other Excel directly in a cell in BPS Excel layout. My initial idea is to create a Macro to copy the data across but in deeper thought this might not be the best solution as the number of excel link can be a lot and the name and location of these files might change quite frequently and I cannot hard code it in the macro..
Any ideas?
Thanks.

Hi Marc,
The reason to use BPS is once the data is in the layout, we need to run the data in a true forecast / simulation model (i.e. compare actuals, copy data between differnt planning versions, Foreign Exchange rate planning , allocation, revaluation, etc...) on a different hierarchy level.
The problem is the starting point data is scattered in lots of other Excel file from local drives from different users. I guess this is the same reason why the csv file upload technique exist, (i.e. to load data to the layout )but in my case the data location needed to be very dynamic and comes from large / different source of data.
I have now developed a solution to reference data from cells in different Excel sheet to the layout. Once set up, it should be able to save users significant amount of time to bring the base data into the layout, especially if their data is source from many ither Excel files.
Regards,
Danny
