Hi everybody! How can I transpose data in numbers?

Hi everybody! How can I transpose data in numbers?

If you don't want to go to all the trouble of setting up formulas each time you do this, and making sure the new table is the correct dimensions in the destination table, etc, just run this Automator Service. (Dropbox download)
After double-clicking the .workflow package to install (you may need to click 'Download Anyway' in System Preferences > Privacy & Security) it will look something like this in your Services menu:
After that one-time, one-minute setup, all you have to do to use it is select the range you want to transpose, choose 'Copy Transpose' from the menu, click once in a cell where you want the transposed values to appear, and type command-v or option-shift-command-v to paste. This is similar to (though slightly different from) what one does in Excel.
To remove or rename the Service, in Finder hold down the option key and in the menu Go > Library > Mobile Documents > com~apple~Numbers and delete or rename the way you would any item in Finder.
You can view the short AppleScript the service contains by opening it in Automator.

How do I export Dates from Numbers to iCal?

I'm building a spread sheet in *Numbers '08* with +expiration dates+ for many of the line items. I would like to export those dates to iCal so that iCal can _show/send me a reminder on those dates_. I've read that some people may be using a program called Bento to interface between Numbers & iCal. Seems like one should not have to buy an entire software program to export a simple date from Numbers to ICal -- both being native Apple programs.
Perhaps there is a way to get Numbers to send date reminders without exporting to iCal?
Any feedback is much appreciated.

Here is the script doing the trick with Numbers '09.
--[SCRIPT createical_events_fromNumbers'09]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : createical_events_fromNumbers'09.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner les cellules d'une table de Numbers qui décrivent des 'events'
La table est censée contenir:
une colonne avec la description des événements
une colonne avec les date_heures de début
une colonne avec les date_heures de fin
Éditer la property 'theCalendar' en fonction du nom du calendrier à alimenter.
menu Scripts > Numbers > createical_events_fromNumbers'09
Le script crée les évènements dans iCal
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script: createical_events_fromNumbers'09.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
In a table from Numbers '09,
select cells describing 'events'.
This table is supposed to embed :
a column storing events descriptions
a column storind start datetime
a column storing end datetime.
Edit the instruction defining the calendar name to fit your needs.
menu Scripts > Numbers > createical_events_fromNumbers'09
The script will create new events in iCal.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
This script creates new events from the content of selected cells from a Numbers '09 table.
--=====
example:
event #1 18 avr. 2010 05:35 19 avr. 2010 15:35
event #2 19 avr. 2010 05:35 20 avr. 2010 15:35
event #3 20 avr. 2010 05:35 21 avr. 2010 15:35
event #4 21 avr. 2010 05:35 22 avr. 2010 15:35

How to get SEC data into numbers??

I am trying to get the SEC data into a .csv file so that I can play with it in a numbers. A few years ago the program thumbval (thumbnail evalu-a-tor) did a pretty good job, but it used web queries, which broke over time, as the pages it referenced changed.
What I would like to do is simply get the data from the SEC, and CUT AND PASTE it into numbers, but this is difficult, as it is improperly formatted and just gets placed in a single cell. grrrrr
Any suggestions? Morningstar has 'watered down' financial statements in table form. My broker (BMO investorline) provides .csv files, but they contain only summary data - for instance the quarterly income for BWLD is just a few lines, and contains none of the detail breakdown found in the SEC reports.
The data exists. It is plastered all over the financial world, surely getting it into a spreadsheet ready format has been done to death, but I am going crazy trying to figure this one out.

Hello
As I don't know from where where grabbed your datas, I can't make tests.
May you copy a block of datas from the web page then paste into a Pages document.
After that activate the "Show hidden chars" tool.
You will see which character is used as a separator.
You may also attach the Pages doc (after zipping it) to a mail and send it to:
koenig PERIOD yvan AT tele2 PERIOD fr
I will be able to look at the datas's contents.
I met several cases.
- 1 - values separated by TABs and they may be pasted as is.
- 2 - values separated by Returns. They can't be pasted as is. I posted a script to deal with this case. But often this one is linked to Safari. Entering the Web page with Firefox gave a TAB separated values block
- 3 - values separated by spaces. In this case, it is difficult to get a correct result.
I posted a script able to deal with this case because most of the values where numbers so I was able to replace every occurence of (digit + space) by (digit + TAB) and every occurence of (space + digit) by (TAB + digit).

How do summarize data from several sheets

How do I extract data from several sheets and summarize this data in a separate summary sheet? What formula should I use? When I used Excel I would use a formula like =John!G$5 for each cell I wanted from other sheets. I'm having no luck trying to use the iWork Numbers suggestions.

Hi Sid,
"When I used Excel I would use a formula like =John!G$5 for each cell I wanted from other sheets."
In Numbers,use:
=John::G$5 to copy the contents of cell G5 on the Table named "John" to the cell containing the formula.
Both cells must be in the same Document. If there is more than one Table named "John", the formula must also include the name of the Sheet containing the Table being referenced.
(eg. =Sheet 1::John::G$5 )

How can I take data from multiple pages documents and put them into a numbers table?

I produce invoices in pages, with dates, invoice numbers, references and amounts due. I want to take all this data from multiple documents and transfeer it to a single numbers table. Is this possible and if so, how do I do it. I know I can do it the other way round with mail merge but I can't figure out how to do it this way round?
Thanks,
Keith

The data is spread throughout a pages document in specific areas here's a copy of an invoice for you to have a look at.

How do I get data back on my Numbers created inventory that was supposedly removed by spotlight?

How do I get data back on my Numbers created inventory that was removed by Spotlight recently? It seems to have happened after upgrading.

Thanks for your reply. Unfortunately when I click on "revert to" it shows no document. It's very strange that the rest of my old inventories on numbers remain. It is only my 2014 entries that went into a black hole somewhere. When I click on my inventory pages it says: "OS X spotlight search information was removed." It seems to have occurred after I recently updated Numbers. I never did anything to have it removed and never got any kind of warning to my knowledge that it was about to be removed. Very frustrating!

How do I create a chart in Keynote that auto-updates from data in Numbers?

Hello all! So, there are lots of answer to this for iWork'09, but I haven't found them for the current version of Work.
What I'd like to do is take data from Numbers and create a chart in Keynote that would then auto-update if I edited the data in Numbers. Put another way, the Keynote chart data would 'live' in Numbers - every time I edit the Numbers data, I'd like those changes to reflect in Keynote. Any thoughts on how to do this outside of always cutting and pasting from Numbers to Keynote?
Thanks!!

Thanks Gary. I thought I was crazy. I remember that it used to be available - bummer that it's not now.

How do you create a column of sequenced dates in Numbers

How do you create a column of sequenced dates in Numbers without typing in each date? For example: 01/05/15, 01/12/15, 01/19/15, 01/26/15, 02/02/15, etc.

Hi Cha Ling,
Another way,
Enter your first two dates that show the desired interval- i.e. 01/05/15 and 01/12/15.
Select both cells and choose fill from the contextual menu.
Drag down to fill your column.

How do you create a short cut to insert date in Numbers 3.1

Hi,
Does any one know how to create a keyboard shortcut for inserting the date in Numbers 3.1

The install-by-doubleclicking Automator Service (where it becomes a menu pick if you use it often and find that more convenient than a formula in a spreadhseet) is here (Dropbox download). Depending on your settings you may need to go to System Preferences > Privacy & Security and click the 'Open Anyway' button. If you want you can assign it a keyboard shortcut in System Preference > Keyboard > Shortcuts. If you don't like it or find you the formula is just as easy for you, then in Finder hold down the option key, choose Go in the menu and navigate to Library > Services, where you can trash it the way you would any file or package.

how to put continuos (desired format) of dates in numbers spreadsheet and how to do it? please reply asap i need it..

This is the definition for "continuo" from Apple's dictionary:
continuo |kənˈtinyəˌwō | (also basso continuo) noun (pl. continuos) (in baroque music) an accompanying part that includes a bass line and harmonies, typically played on a keyboard instrument and with other instruments such as cello or bass viol.
Presumably you mean something else. Your chances of getting replies that can help you will improve with a clearly stated question.

How do I continue with running dates in numbers?

How do I continue with running dates in numbers? Using numbers with dates and need to have them autofill across instead of my typing them in manually.

Hi jonles,
Type a date then press enter. Click once on that cell and hover the cursor over the right hand side of the cell. This will show the Fill handle (yellow dot). Drag it to the right.
That will fill by adding a day to each cell.
To create a series, enter two dates (e.g. 1 Jan then 8 Jan). Select both and drag right to create a weekly series.
Regards,
Ian.

How to insert data from Numbers to Pages?

I want to use data from Numbers to insert in Pages. The same as Word and Excel can connect. When it works you can make 1 letter, and after connecting it correctly with Numbers you can make ten, hundred, thousand ... letters, all of them personalized. Who can help me? The manuals can't.

You are talking about Mail Merge.
Pages '09 did this with data from Numbers and from Address Book/Contents.
Apple removed this from Pages along with over 100 other features, but in Pages 5.5.1 it has now become possible to work around the limitation with some AppleScripting. So Apple has done what Apple does best these days, it takes something that was relatively simple and worked and turns into something complicated if not impossible, usually undocumented, and says they have simplified it.
Frankly it is not worth the time it takes trying to fix everything that is broken, there is just too much and it is constantly being reshuffled by Apple. Just stick with what you know or use LibreOffice [free] which has all this built in.
