How do I reference a cell in a another spreadsheet?

I have a result budget in one spreadsheet, and doing a cash flow budget in another spreadsheet.
How do i reference cells in my result budget from my cash flow spreadsheet? I.e. cell references across two different files.
I am convertering Excel worksheets, and there i have a lot of these kinds of references.
Thanks,

I must say that this is another poor bit of work by Apple. Numbers is not as useful in some basic areas as Excel.
That is very frustrating, as I also need this ability to link between different files.
If you feel that Numbers is not a suitable tool for what you wish/need to do, then use a tool that is suitable to that job. If you think a feature is needed to make numbers a suitable tool for what you wish/need to do, then use the Provide Numbers Feedback menu item in Numbers Help menu to make a feature request.

How do I reference a cell in a matrix that performs the aggregate?

Assuming I have a Matrix such as:
Year
Customer Name SUM(sales amount)
... and the text control the aggregate takes place in (the sum function) is named "matrix1_tb_sum"...
After the report is executed, there will be a column for each year. Let's say 2013 and 2014 both return.
What will be the name of the text control for each year? If I reference "ReportItems!matrix1_tb_sum.Value" from any scope it returns the value of the "right most" column grouping. How do I reference other column groupings?
My goal is to add out-of-grouping columns to the right to show additional data, but I don't want to re-type the formulas. For example, I would add an out-of-group column to the right and add something like:
=ReportItems!matrix1_tb_sum[2014].Value - ReportItems!matrix1_tb_sum[2013].Value
...to show the difference between the two columns without making a SUM IIF.

Hi Mini Button,
Base on your description, you have a matrix in your report which you want to add an aggregation field of the Sales Amount for each year and finally add an column to show the difference between two years. Right?
In Reporting Service, if we want to compare values of two adjacent columns in a matrix, the best way is using custom code to deal with the logic. I have tested in our local environment. In this scenario, we can compare the current value with previous value.
The difference value is always along with columns generated. So we suggest put this column inside of group instead of appending them at the end of the matrix. In this column, we can call the function defined in the custom code. Here are steps and screenshots
for your reference:
Custom code:
Put the custom code into report:
Private queueLength As Integer = 2
Private queueSum As Double = 0
Private queueFull As Boolean = False
Private idChange As String=""
Dim queue As New System.Collections.Generic.Queue(Of Integer)
Public Function CumulativeQueue(ByVal currentValue As Integer,id As String) As Object
Dim removedValue As Double = 0
If idChange <> id then
ClearQueue()
idChange = id
queueSum = 0
queueFull = False
CumulativeQueue(currentValue,id)
Else
If queue.Count >= queueLength Then
removedValue = queue.Dequeue()
End If
queueSum += currentValue
queueSum -= removedValue
queue.Enqueue(currentValue)
If queue.Count < queueLength Then
Return Nothing
ElseIf queue.Count = queueLength And queueFull = False Then
queueFull = True
Return (queueSum-currentValue-currentValue)
Else
Return (queueSum-currentValue-currentValue)
End If
End If
End Function
public function ClearQueue()
Dim i as Integer
Dim n as Integer = Queue.Count-1
for i=n To 0 Step-1
queue.Dequeue()
next i
End function
Click the report Properties and click the “Code” than add above custom code in it, click ok.
Create a matrix based on your information. Put expression into corresponding positions:
Expression in the first row: =IIF(Previous(Fields!Year.Value) is nothing,"",IIF(Previous(Fields!Year.Value) is nothing,1,Previous(Fields!Year.Value))&" - "&Fields!Year.Value)
Expression in the second row: =Code.CumulativeQueue(Fields!SalesAmount.Value,Fields!CustomerName.Value))
Expression in the third row: =Code.CumulativeQueue(sum(Fields!SalesAmount.Value),Fields!CustomerName.Value)
Note : You may need to modify the custom code and expression based on the data type in your dataset.
Save and preview. It looks like below:

How to reference the cell next to another cell in a formula?

I have a list of dates with transaction totals next to them in a large list. At the bottom I have a cell that shows which cell was the max. Now I am trying to pull the date that is located next to the max cell. How do I do this?

I'm not clear on whether your "cell that shows which cell was the max" contains the max value or contains the address of the cell with the max or contains the row number where the max can be found so I'll give you three answers.
If your list of numbers is in B2 through B10 and B11 is your max =MAX(B2:B10) and column C has the dates then the function would be
=LOOKUP(B11,B2:B10,C2:C10)
If your list of numbers is in B2 through B10 and B11 is the cell address of your max (B7 for example) and column C has the dates then the function would be
=LOOKUP(INDIRECT(B11),B2:B10,C2:C10)
If your list of numbers is in B2 through B10 and B11 is the row number of the max (7 for example) and column C has the dates then the function would be
=INDIRECT("C"&B11)
My first post was geared toward the first of these three answers because that made the most sense.
If you are new to Numbers, I recommend downloading the Numbers Users Guide which can be found in the Help menu. The Formulas and Functions guide can also be found there which will help you with the formulas. Information on functions can also be found on the toolbar if you click on Functions and choose Show Function Browser. That brings up a handy function reference window so you can quickly see how to use each formula.

How do I reference a cell from within a condition in Numbers?

I am trying to use the SUMIF function to sum values within an array IF corresponding values in the array are greater than a value in a corresponding cell. So:
___A____B____C
5/23/12 1
5/24/12 2 May 24, 2012
5/25/12 3
5/26/12 4
Here is the formula I am trying to use:
=SUMIF(A1:A4,">"C2,B1:B4)
This gives me a syntax error. In Microsoft Excel I could get the result I want with the following formula:
=SUMIF(A1:A4,">"&C2,B1:B4)
You need that & to "build" a condition statement in Excel. But I don't even see the option to type in a & in a formula in Numbers.
Is this possible in Numbers and if so, how?
Thanks very much for any assistance.

OK, I solved it. The formula DOES work if you include the & character in Numbers, and that character is in fact sitting right in front of you in the upper left part of the text input area--you just have to toggle the "operators" section of the input area once to get it. Sorry to bug everyone.

How do i reference a cell in another sheet

I have an excel workbook with numerous worksheet.
I have a sheet called summary which has in Col A the names of All 200 worksheets in the workbook
All the 200 worksheets have product names in col J now each product has a suffix of _AA, and _BB
e.g Col J: Steel_AA Steel_BB Plastic_AA Plastic_BB Wood_AA Wood_BB etc all lined up in col J one per cell the range varied in some cases may be just two entried in
J2 and J3 and in other sheets thier could be entries in J2 to J40 the one contatnt is _AA or _BB
I need to get the product names from Col J on ALL worksheets the product name will be anything up to the underscore so igonre _AA or _BB or _whatever and then to ONLY get the name once and place it on my summary sheet comman sperated as thier could be 1
entry or 10 entries
Does anyone have a easy formula for this formula =LEFT(A2,FIND("_",A2,1)-1) would search and ignore anything after the uderscore (_) but I have not been able to tie it to read a sheet name from col A then go to that sheet and pull the info.

You can use INDIRECT Function to dynamically refer to worksheets in Excel.
=INDIRECT(A2&"!J2")
But based on your description, VBA Code should be a better option.

How do I unmerge multiple cells in an excel spreadsheet?

This is driving me nuts! I have no problem using excel on a PC but I can't for the life of me figure out how to unmerge cells on a mac. I've tried opening the formatting toolbox and going to alignment/spacing and then clicking in the "merge cells" box. The merge check box does not have a checkmark but rather a dash. When I click on it I get the following error message: "merging into one cell will keep the upper-left most data only". I am working on a large spreadsheet and normally on a pc I would click on the little triangle on upper left corner of the spreadsheet to select the entire spreadsheet and unmerge. It's usually not a big problem on a PC so I'm hoping there's a simple way to do this on a mac and I just haven't found it yet. HELP!!

How do I reference a table in a cell so that when I type in a word, other cells in that row are automatically filled in?

I'm making a cheat sheet for my fantasy football league. To this point I have separate sheets that list players at various positions (the sheets are characterized by the positions they cover i.e. quarterback/running back etc). I also have at the end a table that lists a team abbreviation (identical to how I would reference the team in the other sheets) with that team's bye week and schedule listed.
I want to be able to type a team name next to a player's name and have that team's information be filled into the cells on the same row, by referencing that table I have at the end.
Can anyone help? Very much appreciated. Thanks.

Calc: How can I get absolute cell references in tables to work?

Hi, I'm new to Star Office, and have run into a problem in my first spreadsheet.
I have a data table in my spreadsheet.
Some cells in the table need to make calculations based on other cells in the table.
When I sort the table, however, the cell references are made to be incorrect. I expected that I could just use absolute references (e.g. $A$2) and when the table was sorted those references would be updated to refer to the new absolute location of that cell, e.g. $A$10). However, the absolute references are being left literally the same ($A$2) after the sort, making them reference a different row of data than intended. Relative references of course don't work in this situation either (I tried for thoroughness). (I thought Excel behaved the way I expected, but I just tried it in Excel 2007 and it is exhibiting the same behavior as StarOffice Calc.)
I'm also concerned, although I haven't tried it yet, about what will happen when I reference cells in this table from another table using absolute references that the same problem will exist...
So basically, I can't find a way to use absolute references to cells in a table that will persist correctly when the table is sorted. Any suggestions?
Thanks. Asa
Edited by: earthasa on Sep 20, 2007 2:37 AM
I was able to work around the problem by creating an index column in the table with a unique number for each row of data and using vlookup() to reference the correct row. If there is a more elegant solution I'm still interested :)
Edited by: earthasa on Sep 20, 2007 3:00 AM

OK. Think I've got it now thanks to looking at the short keys and searching for "Full Screen". The upper left key is "`" which looks like a grave - a slightly angled single quote. But when I look at the "Application" setting for Toggle full screen it is set to "'" - a "normal" single quote. Sure enough, if I hit the normal single quote key the toggle works.
I have not been anywhere near the hotkeys and can't imagine why anything would change it from a grave key to a single quote - especially as they look almost identical on the screen. I'm guessing that Adobe changed this (maybe only for international users?)
Anyway I now know how to toggle full screen, although it makes the "Premiere" keyboard with its big purple key for "Toggle full screen" redundant. Does make me wonder what the shortcut key of "'" or CTRL + "'" gives that I'm presumably missing since it appears to have been remapped.

How do you reference cells on a different spreadsheet?

I would like to reference or lookup data in cells on a different spreadsheet/workbook. Is there a way to do this? I do not mean referencing a cell on a sheet within a single spreadsheet/workbook.

Sorry, but you can't reference a value in another document. And by that I mean one that was saved with a different name. You can combine your related sheets into one document and make references between the sheets, but not between different documents.

How can I insert reference to cell on a different sheet in Numbers beta?

In Excel or Numbers for iPad, I start typing in a cell, switch to another sheet and click a cell or range, hit enter, and I'm back on the original sheet with the cell reference inserted. I saw documentation that it works the same way in Numbers Beta on Mac, but it doesn't. When I leave the sheet, I'm not editing the cell anymore.
Very frustrating. This function is often necessary, and long formulas are tedious on iPad. So far the most reliable method is to export back to Excel, make the change, and re-export to iCloud.

I struggled with this same issue until this week. You have to actually type references in cell. And spacing is the key to making it work. Make sure to put a space before and after each double colon.
=SheetName :: B3
=08 20 14 :: B3
I you are linking to a different table in a sheet, you have to include the table name also.
=08 20 14 :: No Shows :: D5

How can I reference the last value in a column?

How can I reference the last value in a column? For example, today I want the value of A1 to appear in another cell. Tomorrow, I will add a row and want to reference A2, next day A3, and so forth.

Now I got it:
=OFFSET(A1,COUNT(A)-1,0)

I'm afraid not. It's not rocket science but you need to do some coding.
You'll need to find a script (php) and save it to your local site folder. Then reference the script in your form's action attribute like so.
<form action="path/form-to-email-script.php" >
The input fields in your HTML form need to exactly match the script variables.
I'm assuming you're hosted on a Linux server which uses PHP code. Linux servers are also case sensitive, so upper case names are not the same as lower case names. It's usually best to use all lower case names in your form and script to avoid confusion.

How can I reference more than one jar file

hi, In an applet, I use
Archive = "foo.jar" to reference this jar file.
But how can I reference more than one file?
Thanks.

Suggestion: spend a few minutes reading the tutorials.
