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 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.

Can I use a cell value to reference a table on another sheet?

I'm not sure if this is possible and I have had no luck with searches, here is what I am attempting to do...
On my first sheet I have a number of tables, each holding information on a service. Each table is named to match the service name.
On another sheet I have a list of clients that use these services, with the service name (to match the table name on the first sheet) in a cell in the client's row.
I would like to pull data from one of the cells on the Service table to include it in a concatenate formula in the clients row.
I was hoping to be able to use the value of the cell with the service name in it as part of the formula to reference the service sheet...
For example:
="something"&Services::B2::C6&"something"
Is this possible, or is there a way I can work around the auto corrections that numbers keeps applying?
Cheers

you can construct the text of a cell reference as a string by concatenating information then use the function indirect() to turn the string into a reference.
so you would do something like:
=indirect("something"&Services::B2::C6&"something")
this is assuming that "something"&Services::B2::C6&"something" results in a string that would be a valid reference.

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:

Can't link to a cell in another sheet at certain point

Hello,
this is the first time I use the support communities.
I have a continuing promblem with numbers ( v. 2.3). I'm working on a projekt for my univerity and are quite familiar with number. But at a certain point it get's impossible to link to another cell on a different sheet! This works fine until a certain point (which I actually don't know).....
I do the same stuff which I did very often before but it dosent work....
1. I click on the cell I want to have the linked value in it
2. I press = to start linking.
3. I go to the cell i want to take the data from (in another sheet).
4. The Box becomes white with the name and position of the source cell in it. But when I klick enter it dosn't work....
I really don't have an idea what this could be... It worke fine in the same way before a few hundered times... Is there any limitation of link's between the single sheets or something?
I'm very glad for any help in this issue
Regards,
Gregor

On your last screenshot, you had moved off of the cell you were working on. The resulting formula/reference was not shown.
Becasue it is not in English, it is hard for me to tell for sure what might be going on. The reference in your third screnshot looked odd to me. In English it would be one of the following forms when referencing a cell on a different sheet:
Sheet name::Table Name::Cell address
Table Name::Cell Address
or, if "use header names as cell addresses" is on
Sheet name::Table name::column name row name
Table name:: column name row name
column name row name
The reference shown in your third screenshot doesn't seem to fit that pattern
I am assuming if you look at your resulting formula, the cell reference is not in a colored oval, it looks like plain text.
I've seen header names get misinterpreted by Numbers, like it can't figure them out and make a reference from them. If you are using header names as cell references, changing the names can fix it. Turning off that feature might also fix it. I don't use that feature usually; it often makes my formulas too long and complicated.
I have not seen a similiar problem with table and sheet names but you could try changing them to see if it helps.
Sometimes Numbers simply has a problem with a reference and you have to start over with the formula and it will work the next time. I don't know why, it just happens sometimes.

I want to reference a cell from another table and fill it with text

I I have several tables that update each other with data from the previous one. These tables are identical and follow each other by date. In each table is a cell (B1) where a persons name goes. the cell (B2) references another cell from a previous dated table. Some days, consecutively, no name is entered in to cell B1. I want cell B2 to always refer back to the most recent table with a name is cell B1. How can this be done?
I have written this formula (applied to cell B2 of this example) already: IF(Day 1::B1="","",IF(Day 1::B1≥"",Day 1::B1)) but it only references the previous days table and stops there. Some days nothing is inputed into cell B1 causing causing the following days table cell B2 to show "0".

"I am having trouble getting the formulas you suggested to work. I am not sure where the problem is coming from. Could you look at the following spreadsheet and tell me where I am going wrong? The following pic shows Day 1 and AUX tables. In Day 1 cell B1 a Drivers name is entered. As you can see by the formula that you gave the B2 is for "Product" not the drivers name "David"."
Hi br,
The formulas provided above apply directly to the set of tables shown with them. In each of these tables, the target cell, containing the name of the driver for that day is cell B2 on the table for that day.
For Day 1, the driver is Huey, found in cell B2 of Table 1, and the cell reference to retrieve the information from that cell is =Table 1::B2
The formula in B2 of Aux uses INDIRECT to build that cell reference from the fixed text string "Table ", the calculated value ROW()-1, and the text string "::B2"
ROW() returns the number of the row in which the function sits. In B2, that's row 2, and ROW() returns 2. -1 subtracts 1 from that value, leaving 1. In B2, ROW()-1 returns 1.
The ampersand is the concatenation operator. It joins the value before it to the value following it. The result is a text string. in the INDIRECT part of the formula, there are two & operators, one after "Table ", the other after ROW()-1.
"Table " & ROW()-1 & "::B2" with the result of ROW()-1 as the value between the two text strings.
"Table " & 1 & "::B2" = "Table 1::B2"
INDIRECT( ) takes that text and converts it to the cell address that it represents.
B2: =IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Table "&ROW()-1&"::B2"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Table "&ROW()-1&"::B2"))
The first instance on the string in the formula is a test to see if there is anything in the target cell. If not, the formula returns a null string. If there is at least 1 character there, the second instance of INDIRECT is called on to return the name to B2 of the table Aux.
Compare your formula below:
B4: =IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Day 3"&ROW()-1&"::B2"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Day 3"&ROW()-1&"::B2"))
As shown, this is the formula in B4 of your Aux table. In Row 4, ROW() returns 4, and ROW()-1 returns 3.
So the three elements of the cell address constructed in INDIRECT are "Day 3", 3, and "::B2"
The cell being addressed is "Day 33::B2", cell B2 on the table named Day 33.
The error results from there being no table with that name.
The fix (to the table part of the reference) is to change the first text string to "Day " (including the space after the word Day).
The fix to replace Product with the driver name is to change "::B2" to ::B1"
To fit the names of your day tables and the location of the driver's name on each, your formula in B2 should read:
B2: =IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Day "&ROW()-1&"::B1"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Day "&ROW()-1&"::B1"))

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 an EJB inside anothe EJB ,both are on different hosts

Hi,
I want to reference an EJB on one host inside another EJB in another
host. Even if i hardcode the url of the host on which the EJB is
deployed , it gives me the error regarding the no such ejb found.
I would appreciate your help.
Thanks

Robert,
We've been trying to implement this type of multi-server setup for some
time now. Our application consists of 260+ EJBs with a large team of
developers actively working against it. The business logic in our
application puts the EJBS in a highly interrelated situation. This
degree of interrelation makes it necessary for each developer to deploy
the entire application before any work can get done.
Starting a weblogic server, on a Windows Workstation, with 260+ beans is
very time consuming. But to get around this development bottle neck, we
are attempting the same scenario described in this thread. We have
recently upgraded from WL4.5.x to WL5.1 SP8. With WL5.1, we get the
CommunicationException seen previously in this thread. But the Error
message in WL5.1 is less descriptive. The 5.1 error message is missing:
WL6.0 Error Text: "This error could indicate that a component was
deployed on a cluster member but not other members of that cluster. Make
sure that any component deployed on a server that is part of a cluster
is also deployed on all other members"
It is obvious that weblogic's clustering depends on classes being
available to each server in the cluster, including the ejbc generated
_WLStub classes. To me, it seems wrong that a weblogic server can only
use standard JNDI to lookup HomeInterfaces on other weblogic servers if
the hidden _WLStub classes are available to both servers. I say this
because non-weblogic clients have JNDI lookup abilities without these
requirements. This whole experience was frustrating because all along
I knew that the solution was simply to take the hacker route and put the
classes in the the client classpath. I guess I just want to know if
this is bug? If not, I think it should be.
Thanks for listening

How do you copy cell to another sheet without a "0" value if empty

I have a sheet which is formatted based on a scanned image that I have as a background. This is a timesheet and makes it easy for people to enter the values in based on the paper version as it is familiar. My table sits in front of this image and works just like the paper version where a user inputs the data using a selection of checkboxes and free text into the timesheet.
Because of the margin limitations in numbers, I have also constructed a seperate sheet which is the PRINT version of the table, where I want to MIRROR te values in the first sheet. This 2nd sheet has all the headings taken away, and the table borders removed etc, as it is printed onto the paper proforma timesheet. I have moved the tables around etc to make sure that it prints exactly correctly based on margins and formatting etc.
The issue I have is that everytime I use a cell reference for free text (ie: =Recall Record::Table 2::B2) is shows a "0" when the field in the master table is empty. This is an issue as I don't want to show anything if the original table has a cell that has nothing in it, when printing.
Is there a way to do an IF statement or similar: like =IF(=Recall Record::Table 2::B2,"=Recall Record::Table 2::B2", " ") or something like that? I read that as if there is something in that referenced cell then show that referenced cell and if there is nothing there, show a space.

=if(isblank(<the_cell>), "", <the_cell>)
this will check <the_cell> to see if it is blank. If it is it will return the empty string "", otherwise it returns the value of <the_cell>

Acrobat pro 9 - How do I reference the text in another textbox on another page?

Near the top of each page on my form I have a text box that users are to enter their company name. Unfortunately, there is the same information requested on each page in the form. It is too far down to use a header, but I don't think you can place a field in the header.
I know that you can use the Calculate tab to reference the numeric values of other fields, for mathematical purposes. What I would like to do is: Have the other company name fields in the rest of document reference the first one so the user only has to enter it once.
I have been searching and googling without success, and I even checked the manual but found no reference in the logical areas. Can this be done with Acrobat Pro 9?
Thanks in advance for your help.

Huh. Whaddya know, it does. Such an easy solution. And it is probably documented somewhere. I guess I should have done more than skim through the manual. Thanks Gilad.

Reference cell from another sheet

Hello,
I've created income and expenses spreadsheets, within the same file. I would like to create a cell with a formula for INCOME less EXPENSES. I've read through many forums and have tried the following formulas to no avail:
On the income sheet (B65 represents our total income, FYI) I've typed:
=B65-'MY BUSINESS 2014 EXPENSES'::'Table 1'::B242
or
=B65-'Sheet 2'::'Table 1'::B242
or
=B65-('MY BUSINESS 2014 EXPENSES'::'Table 1'::B242)
or
=B65-('Sheet 2'::'Table 1'::B242)
or
=B65-'MY BUSINESS 2014 EXPENSES - Table 1'::B242
Nothing is working. I keep getting the same #REF! error message. What am I doing wrong here?
Thanks in advance!

I had this same issue, I finally figured you you need a space before and after each ::
'MY BUSINESS 2014 EXPENSES - Table 1' :: B242

What are possible ways to return the raw data in the corresponding cell of another sheet?

Numbers on iMac under Maverick. For each sheet in a spreadsheet (Numbers file) I have provided a corresponding sheet (to replace it). In the new sheet I want to insert a formula referencing the corresponding cell in the new sheet, but so that I can delete the original sheet. If the formula referencing the cells in the original sheet returns the resultant data in place of the formula, this will enable me to use this method to work through a largish file (and others like it) with comparative ease. Can this be done, for example, by stipulating a particular format for the recipient cell?

How to add hours to a reference time cell??

I am making the switch to Numbers from Excel and can not figure this out.
I have one cell as a time : 10:00 AM - A1
In Cell B4 I want 10:00 AM plus 6 hours.
I can't figure this out ! In Excel I would out , =A1+"6:00"
Not sure if the cells are formatted incorrectly but I have tried all the date and time formats.
HELP!
Thank you

In the future it would be best to post your three additional questions as three new topics. Don't worry about whether anyone will look at them. This is a very active discussion area.
1. Is there a toolbar or keystroke short cut to merge cells? I see it in the menu bar but need a shorter option
Yes, you can make your own custom shortcut. Go to the Keyboard section of System Preferences. I must say that I don't like merging cells in Numbers. It has the potential to get you into trouble and should be avoided. Having a shortcut just makes this evil more tempting, in my opinion. Numbers doesn't have the great need for merging cells that Excel does. You can make separate small tables in Numbers and you can give them descriptive names that will display above the tables, if you choose. You also can intersperse Text Boxes and Shapes with text in them to annotate your sheets. Merging cells isn't so imperative in Numbers as your past experiences my have led you to believe.
2. If I want to reference another cell on another sheet can I name the cell that I wish to reference? Ie: Sheet 1 cell c4 , I would like to name : start, then in other cells I would write , =start. I can do this excel but no luck so far in numbers.
Yes you can. There are two ways you can learn about this. First, you can insert a reference to a remote cell by navigating to it using the Sheets Pane and then clicking on the cell you want to reference. Then take a look at what Pages inserted for a reference. This will give you the format (syntax) for doing it manually. You can also learn about referencing remote cells by reading the Numbers User Guide PDF and the Formulas and Functions User Guide. Then are both available from the Help Menu for download.
3. Move that sidebar menu to the bottom??
No.

Jerry

Move info from one cell to another based on a third cell's content

Okay I'm not sure that this is possible but I thought I would put it out there to see if someone can help me figure this out
Lets start with the first sheet of data:
From this sheet I would like to move multiple cell's content to cells on another sheet based on the selection of the "SOLD" column.
This is the second sheet....
Basically, lets say that some one would select "Y" for the sold column on sheet one. Once "Y" is selected the text from each respective cell in the row would move to the second sheet. So if row 1 "SOLD" = "Y" then "LAST NAME" would move to "CUSTOMER", "DATE" would move to "DATE", "NEW / USED" would move to "NEW / USED"
To complicate it further, is there a way that each new set of data that would move over would automatically go to the next clear row? I will try to illustrate what I mean below:
...Also I should mention that there are three different sheets that would fill the final recap sheet....
Sheet 1: "BOB"
Sheet 2: "SUZIE"
Sheet 3: "TOM"
Recap Sheet:
Know this is a stretch but thank you for any input.

What I mean is, if the data can't be input in one table (generally an efficient approach) then have several people input it in their own tables (in a standardized format), then consolidate the data into one table (that parts very quick) and use the power of the Numbers interface to look at different views of your data. The sort and filter features are quick and powerful. Otherwise, you'll have to manage formulas in both the individual input tables and in the data table and you'll need extra "index" columns. That's doable, but I would guess unlikely to save time in the end. Unless I've misunderstood your situation.

Transfer from Subtotal in one table to another sheet.

Hi, about a year ago i made a salary application for my production company. This works quite well, but when I supposed to report amounts for each employed to the swedish tax authorities I am still not automatic because I haven't solved how to transfer a subtotal sum to a specific cell in another sheet. I am sure that this has been discussed earlier, but in the searches I have done I can't find a similar question. So if someone has an idea where to look or knows if it is possible.
What I would need is to have a formula like LOOKUP (I guess that is the english formula for looking up references) or similar so that I can identify a Subtotal for a specific class of rows (i.e. salaries for one person).

Thanks for the reply. If I understand you correctly the approach is simple an genial. I am all the time using and thinking within the frame of the elegant sorting functions that you find in the tables. Very easy to use when you need a quick result, though as far as I can see impossible to bring with you. But of course just put the conditions i a Sum.if. Simple!
Thanks.
Leif
