How to cell register the date/time when you put a value in another cell

Hello guys!
How do I get a cell (eg A2) tell the date and time when I put a value in another cell (eg A1) in Numbers?
For example, I want to register a cell to read my electricity meter.
I write in cell A1: 45809. When placing this value in A1, I want to appear (on A2) the date and time when I did that record automatically. Is it possible?
I hope you understood the question!
Thank you in advance to those who try to help.

There is not automatic time stamping of on entry of a time.  One suggestion I've seen has a cell that has the current date and time.  Everytime you cahnge any cell that cell will update.  You can then copy that cell and paste the value into your date/time cell adjacent to the meter reading:
Create a new, plain table:
Now in cell A1 enter the formula "=now()"  short hand for this is:
A1=now()
now resize the table so it is a table that is 1 cell by 1 cell by selecting any cell, then dragging the table size control in the bottom right corrner towards cell A1:
It should look like this when you have completed this task:
Now create another new, plain table and enter "Date" for cell A1, and "Meter Reading" for B1:
Now you can enter a meter reading (I entered "45671").  Now select the CELL that has current date and time from the first table at the very top, and copy:
Now select the cell in the date column where you want to put the current date and paste values by using the menu item "Edit > Paste Value":

  • How do I keep the date/time when exporting photos?

    When exporting photos from Photos.app on my Mac, it doesn't use the metadata that it displays in Photos--it uses the current date/time. So when I export a photo from 2010, it says it's dated 2015 when I import it into Aperture.
    Is there a way to export an image with its original timestamp? Is this a bug? Thanks.

    If you are editing tif files, then you have only a couple of choices.
    Flatten the image before you save it.  This will reduce it down to one layer. That's the smallest you can get.
    When you first open the image, look to see if it's 8 bit or 16 bit tif.  It won't help you, but if the image is 8 bit, and you save it as 16 bit, you will have dramatically increased the size of the file for nothing.  If it's started as 16, no worries!
    check if you are saving with compression.   Tif compression is lossless, so unless you did something like resize+resample, it remains the same bit density, etc, so should be just as printable as what they sent you (unless you messed up!).
    Cheers!

  • How can I get the Date & Time to appear on my final project in iMovie11?

    I am using iMovie 11 and have imported video from a Canon Vixia-HF21 camera. The EXIF data is imported along with the video but when I produce the final product, the date and time do not appear.  How can I get the Date  & Time data to appear on the final product?

    There is a date and time Title you can use. If I recall correctly, it displays date plus hours and minutes, but not seconds.

  • How do I change the date/time of a dll created in LabVIEW without killing it

    I use the LabVIEW (6.0.2 of course) Application builder to create a dll, and I cannot enter creation information, nor can I modify the date time property, which labVIEW does not properly set. I have tried to modify this information in Visual C++, but that destroys the dll because it wasn't compiled in VC++, and therefore isn't compatible.
    If anyone knows how to correctly modify the date/time (and the checksum) without destroying the dll, I would be gratefull to know.
    Thank you

    Dear Sir,
    I was browsing through MSDN in trying to find the info you are looking for and I step into this next file:
    "Peering Inside the PE: A Tour of the Win32 Portable Executable File Format"
    Which you can locate in the msdn.microsoft.com page by going to the search box and typing that title. The first result is that document. Also you may want to check the "imagehlp" file of the msdn library. This documents provides information on the DLL standard and functions.
    Good luck!...

  • HT3349 How do you select a sub-set of cells from the entire document so you can print only those specific cells?

    How do you select a sub-set of cells from the entire document so you can print only those specific cells?

    There is no analog to MS Excels print range.  So the next best thing is to plan your data so that you don't need to use print range.  The next best thing after that is to select the range of cells you want to print, then copy, the switch to the application Preview, and create a new document from the clipboard (select the menu item "File > New from Clibboard") then select all, copy then paste to the destination (maybe an email) .
    You can also paste that portion of the table into another table (or a new table) by pasting values only

  • How can I make the data persistent when using plist ?

    I have a UITableView table1. And when I touch any cell in the table a new UIViewController appears and it have two UITextField's name and description. After entering the data in both the text fields I used the save button to save them. In save method I wrote the code for the data to be stored in plist.
    -(void)save:(id)sender
    indexOfDataArray = temp;
    NSString *string1 = [[NSString alloc]init];
    NSString *string2 = [[NSString alloc]init];
    string1 = nameField.text;
    string2 = descriptionField.text;
    NSDictionary *myDict = [[NSDictionary alloc] initWithObjectsAndKeys:string2, string1, nil];
    [myArray addObject:myDict];
    NSArray *paths = NSSearchPathForDirectoriesInDomains(NSDocumentDirectory, NSUserDomainMask, YES);
    NSString *documentsDirectory = [paths objectAtIndex:0];
    NSString *path = [documentsDirectory stringByAppendingPathComponent:@"VideoData.plist"];
    [myArray writeToFile:path atomically:YES];
    UIAlertView *alertMesage = [[UIAlertView alloc] initWithTitle: @"Save Alert" message:@"The data entered is saved" delegate:nil cancelButtonTitle:@"cancel" otherButtonTitles:nil] ;
    [alertMesage show];
    [alertMesage release];
    [myArray retain];
    But the problem is every time I restart my application the data in the plist is deleted. How can I retain the data in the plist name I specified ?

    I think yes, I am specifying only one file name to store in the path. I understood my where I am wrong.
    If I added data in plist for two items(item1 and item2). And again I need to add next two items(item3 and item4) . How can I make item3 and item 4 do not replace item1 and item2 ?
    Thank You.

  • How to Avoid Printing the data twice when the sub report has drill down?

    Hello,
    I have a sub report that has drill down which is placed in report footer.When i run the report sub report displays the data but when i tried to drill down it displays the same data again.After that i can able to drill down on sub report.Is there any way to avoid
    printing the same data twice.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    If the subreport you're referring to does not grow in size and it does not span multiple pages and you know the size of it, here's what you can do to stop drilling into subreports :
    1) Create a text object as large as the subreport (perhaps bigger than it) and fill it with spaces or new lines
    2) Place it 'over' the subreport such that it covers the entire area occupied by the subreport
    3) The subreport at all times should be smaller than the text object in all dimensions
    Now, when you hover the mouse over the subreport, there isn't any magnifying glass for you to drill down into.
    If the subreport has further drill-down functionality, then this isn't for you! Because, it just wouldn't allow you click on any objects in the subreport because of the text object eclipsing it. This is the only workaround I know at this point in time and I know a lot of users are looking for this.
    I would suggest that you log this as an Enhancement Request at http://ideas.sap.com for our developers to have a look into this.
    And finally, I also found an old forum post where Jamie has suggested a way to get this working on the Business Objects Environment. Give it a shot, if that's where the reports are eventually run.

  • How do I change the Date/Time on a Time Capsule?

    Problem:
         I have set up Timed Access Controls on my Time Capsule to restrict the hours my children can access the internet.  Because this allows limitations on each device it is convenient to restrict their phones but not interfere with the desktops (for example).  But the Date/Time on my Time Capsule seems to be incorrect because the Time Capsule is restricting the hours - just not the ones I set (seems to be getting later and later before the change take affect).
    I can't find where to check the date/time or make the modifications to it to confirm.
    I'm using Airport Utility 6.1 (610.31).
    Hope you can help.

    Maybe this helps to install it on Mountain Lion:

  • How do I set the date/time on my Airport Express?

    I am using an Apple Airport Express to connect to a wireless router in another part of the house. However, I am unable to set the date/time correctly and so the logs all start from Dec 13, 0hrs.
    I have tried using an internet time server, but to no avail.
    Any ideas?

    Open AirPort Utility and click Manual Setup
    Click the Base Station tab just under the row of icons
    Settings for Time Zone and the option to Set Time Automatically are there
    Click Update to save your new settings and restart the AirPort Express

    Hi DrRebar,
    first of all: WELCOME TO THE DISCUSSIONS!
    When you download the standalone installers from the Apple download page they are at your default download location.
    If you used Software Update there are 3 options: Install, Install&Keep, Download only.
    In the first case (which is also the default() the package is deleted after the installation. In both other cases the packages are kept in /Library/Packages.

  • Automatically spacing clips based on the date/time when they were shot?

    Hi all
    I've just shot a concert where I used a static camcorder recording a wide shot of the band, and also the master mixed audio. I was then filming close-up shots on a DSLR, stopping and starting it as and when I needed the additional shots. The problem is I now have 100 or so shot (<3 minute) clips and no easy way of syncing them all to the master sound track from the camcorder.
    Is there any way of dropping all the DSLR clips into the timeline, and have them automatically spaced based on the shot time? As in, clip X started at 1545, and lasted for 3 minutes, clip Y started at 1550 so it will put an automatic 2 minute gap in between shots X and Y?
    Or will I just have to sync all the clips manually by comparing the master audio and matching it up with the peaks on the audio recorded on the DSLR clips?
    Many thanks for any advice
