How do I repeat a command in numbers?
Excel has the capability to repeat and undo a command. It appears Numbers can only undo a command (CMD-z). Does Numbers have the capbility to repeat a command?
Undo applies to (almost) any action, not just commands.
Its opposite, Re-do (shift-command-Z) applies only to something that has been Undone.
Numbers has no equivalent to Excel's Repeat feature.
Feature enhancement request may be made via Provide Numbers Feedback, found in the Numbers menu.

Barry

I am using Ai3.
I am doing a lot of "path simplify" and every time I have to go to "object" then "path" then "path simplify".
I have been searching if there is like in autocad a key to press to do "repeat las action" but I only found 2 things that I dont really understand:
- Ctrl + D (must be for st else)
- somethnig called "actions", if I understand correctly it is to create a group of commands, this could be interesting but it should be next to the "pathfinder" screen but there I have nothing...
strange,
somebody to help?
Thanks, DankeMake a feature request.
Illustrator and in general many Adobe products are lacking considerably with repeated tasks. The number of hotkeys available is limited to using Function keys and a lot of them are already assigned by default to frequently used tasks. Also, often users need to repeat a task frequently in one or a few sessions but not every day on a regular bases which doesn't justify creating an action and occupying a hotkey that is easy to forget if not used daily. Nowadays production programs are brimming with features and there are a lot of excellent solutions already invented and used by may programs but unfortunately Illustrator is not one of them. Here are some examples of excellent solutions:
a hotkey for the last menu command selected
a hotkey for the previous tool selected (for example while using the Sheer Tool on existing objects, you want to draw a box and quickly go back to the Sheer Tool)
list of recently used menu commands panel
tearoff menus similar to the existing tearoff toolbars (imagine it was possible when you go to Object > Paths be able to tear off the Paths submenu so it remains like a panel and you can click on any of the commands of this submenu without digging through the menus again and again) -
In MS Office, F4 repeats previous command. How do I do that in Numbers?
Ok--one of the most useful keyboard shortcuts I took advantage of when I had MS Excel was the F4 button, which repeats previous command. It worked for just about any command.
Is there an equivalent command in Numbers?Corim,
No, no such command in Numbers. Just remember what you just did and do it again.

I've found that a short AppleScript provides a convenient way to identify duplicates (repeating values) in a range.
Just select the range of cells you want to check for duplicates and click. It will turn the duplicates red.
--select range, run, turns duplicates red
tell application "Numbers" to tell front document to tell active sheet
set selected_table to first table whose class of selection range is range
tell selected_table
set selected_range to the selection range
tell selected_range
set values_list to {}
repeat with i from 1 to count cells
set this_value to value of cell i as text
if values_list contains this_value then set text color of cell i to "red"
set end of values_list to this_value
end repeat
end tell
end tell
end tell
--end of script
Just copy and paste the above script into AppleScript Editor, and run it from there. Or place it in your scripts menu. Or download this Automator Service (Dropbox download) and double-click it to install it in your Services menu.
Similarly, if you want to get a list of just the distinct values in a range (i.e. with duplicates removed) this Copy Distinct Automator Service (Dropbox download) is very convenient.
Select the cells, make the menu pick, then paste the distinct values wherever you want in a table by single-clicking a cell and typing command-v to paste.
These functions become, in essence, a customized menu. That way you don't have to set up formulas to do this each time you work with a new Numbers document.

How to open an Excel file in Numbers instead of Excel
Here's my script:
tell application "Finder"
set myFiles to the selection
tell application "Numbers"
open item 1 of myFiles
end tell
end tell
The selected file opens in Excel, not Numbers. How would I make it open in Numbers?
Message was edited by: Stuart Fieldthis could work:
tell application "Finder"
set myFiles to the selection
repeat with myfile in myFiles
do shell script "open -a /Applications/iWork\\ \\'09/Numbers.app " & quoted form of (POSIX path of (myfile as alias))
end repeat

How can I label my rows on numbers so I can keep a running count? Dave
How can I label my rows on numbers so I can keep a running count?
i would like to number from 1 to 150 by highlighting and use a function command
Dave
Name Address Email
Ex 1
2
3
4
150Add a column to the left of column A (it will become column A).
Assuming you want to start with the first "name" in Row 2 (and NOT number the header row):
Two methods:
1.
In cell A2, enter =ROW()-1
Grab the Fill Handle (small circle, bottom right of the selected cell) and drag down to fil the formula into the rest of the cells in the column.
If the formula is placed in ALL non-header row cells in the column, it will automatically fill into any rows added to the table.
If rows are inserted or removed, numbers below the inserted/removed row will be automatically adjusted.
2.
In cell A2, enter a 1
In cell A3, enter a 2
Select both cells.
Grab the Fill Handle and drag down to the rest of the cells in the column.
These are fixed numbers. They will not be automatically filled into new rows added to the table, nor will they automatically update when rows are inserted into the table or removed from the table.
To add more numbers, select the last two cells currently containing numbers, drag the Fill Handle down.

How do i repeat a section of the form can i copy and paste?
How do i repeat a section of the form with out creating it again.
Is there anything special about your drop downs (lots of choices)? Are the drop downs part of the selection? You may need to select all of the fields in the section then add the drop downs to the selection by using control-click (command-click on Mac).

Hi Rusty,
I worry that this may be a trick question, but here goes:
Click on the Row tab to select the entire row.
Command-C to Copy the Row to the Clipboard
Insert > Copied Rows
Or, did you have something else in mind?

Shift-Command-4 - Numbers Changing
Hi, I have a weird problem.
You know how you can press Shift-Command-4 on a Mac and draw a rectangular selection to take a screenshot? Well on my Mac using my Magic Trackpad, I draw a selection and after a second the numbers in the bottom-right corner of the selection change.
So, for example, 150, 250 changes to something like 1174, 623
Has anyone else experienced this? I wonder if it is related to my Magic Trackpad or just a general bug in Mac OS X 10.6.7No, no, you don't quite understand.
• I type Shift-Command-4 which gives me a crosshair pointer with co-ordinates changing by it.
• Then I tap with 3 fingers and drag down and to the right
• If I wait still for less than a second, the co-ordinates change
It's hard to explain, but I haven't noticed this behaviour on other Macs. -
How can I repeat a for loop, once it's terms has been fulfilled???
Well.. I've posted 2 different exceptions about this game today, but I managed to fix them all by myself, but now I'm facing another problem, which is NOT an error, but just a regular question.. HOW CAN I REPEAT A FOR LOOP ONCE IT HAS FULFILLED IT'S TERMS OF RUNNING?!
I've been trying many different things, AND, the 'continue' statement too, and I honestly think that what it takes IS a continue statement, BUT I don't know how to use it so that it does what I want it too.. -.-'
Anyway.. Enought chit-chat. I have a nice functional game running that maximum allows 3 apples in the air in the same time.. But now my question is: How can I make it create 3 more appels once the 3 first onces has either been catched or fallen out the screen..?
Here's my COMPLETE sourcecode, so if you know just a little bit of Java you should be able to figure it out, and hopefully you'll be able to tell me what to do now, to make it repeat my for loop:

How to print a specific cell in numbers
how to print a specific cell in numbers?
Copy the cell (contents), Paste onto a page of a separate document, or onto a separate sheet of your Numbers document, Print.
Or insert a single cell table onto your Numbers document, type an = sign in the cell then click on the cell you want to print. Drag the new table to a second sheet, set up your page there, and print.
See the Numbers '09 User Guide for other useful tools and techniques. Download the guide via the Help menu in Nuimbers.

How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet
How can I print address labels from numbers spread sheet
CAB,
The 5163 template has the following dimensional specs:
Dimensions & Info
Length: 4.00000" Height: 2.00000"
Top Margin: 0.50000" Bottom Margin: 0.50000"
Left Margin: 0.18000" Right Margin: 0.18000"
Hor. Spacing (gutter): 0.14000" Vert. Spacing (gutter): 0.00000"
Intended Use: Mailing Labels, Shipping Labels, Address Labels
There's a great vendor site with this data readily available, better than the Avery site in my opinion. But, you can get the same info in the Contacts Print dialog pane.
You can grab a template matching these dimensions from that vendor site, Copy the table after opening the Word Template in Pages and drop the into a blank Numbers Sheet.
I found that Sheet side margins of 0.15" worked better than 0.18. For some reason the table wanted to flow to the next page to the right with 0.18". Turning off the Headers and Footers and setting Top and Bottom Margins to 0.5" worked well. These adjustments are made in the Sheets Inspector.
So, that will put the template you specified into a Numbers document and you can print labels properly aligned from there. Since your problem statement is a bit lacking in detail, that's all I can offer you at this point.

How can I print sheet titles from Numbers?
how can I print sheet titles from Numbers?
Hi Rick,
"Believe it or not, Numbers just doesn't work as well for me as Excel."
I don't find that difficult to believe. If you need the functions supported by Excel and not by Numbers, then Excel is the tool to use. OTOH, your finding of 'more flexible' translates, at least in part to 'more familiar.' All applications, Excel included, force you into certain paths.

When I use the shortcut to open a new window in safari (command N) on my Macbook Pro, I get a 404 error message from Google. How do I change where 'Command N' routes to?
It's not necessary to change the Command N keystroke..
From your Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Privacy tab.
Click: Remove All Website Data
Then delete the cache.
Open a Finder window. From the Finder menu bar click Go > Go to Folder
Type or copy paste the following
~/Library/Caches/com.apple.Safari/Cache.db
Click Go then move the Cache.db file to the Trash.
Quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that didn't help, troubleshoot Safari extensions.
From the Safari menu bar click Safari > Preferences then select the Extensions tab. Turn that OFF, quit and relaunch Safari to test.
If that helped, turn one extension on then quit and relaunch Safari to test until you find the incompatible extension then click uninstall.
