How to Copy and Paste Formulas

Hello:
I'm new to numbers, but have got a lot of computing to do.
I have some fairly simple formulas (x-y for example) to do. The issue is, I have 300 rows that I need this mathematical operation done on.
Is there a way I can copy this formula into each different row so that the formula stays the same, yet the computaiton is unique to the individual row?
Thanks for helping with such a basic question.

Hi Jrp,
In this example, enter your formula in D2
=B2−C2
Press enter.
Two methods:
Method 1:
Select D2 and Copy
Select all Body Cells in D and Paste
Method 2:
Select D2 and hover the cursor over the bottom cell border until you see a yellow dot (Fill Handle)
Drag the Fill Handle down.
D is now filled with the formula which automatically changes with the Row
Regards,
Ian.

How to copy and paste formulas between documents in numbers 3.0?

I am unable to copy and paste formulas between 2 documents in numbers 3.0?

Hi Hans,
I can get a reference error here if the destination table does not have that range available while the source table does.
Are you sure your desination table has exactly the same structure and dimensions as your source table?
If it does, copy/paste via the Formula Editor should work. It works reliably here.
Also the formula in your latest post looks as if it might be corrupted-- lots of extra spaces (it seems). Did your orginal formula have those?
To sort this out, suggest turning off 'Use header names as labels' in Preferences.
If you end up with a formula in a cell as just Text (as Ian describes that's what happens when you copy from Numbers 2) you can convert that text to a formula by double-clicking the cell, clicking just before the text so that the insertion point appears in front of it and typing =. That activates the Formula Editor with the formula in it, which you can accept by clicking the green checkmark or hitting return.

How to copy and paste the graphics from illustrator to MS word. What I tried is exporting in png with highest resolution and then inserting in to word. This loses a bit of resolution in comparison to direct copy and paste as EMF. But if I do a copy and paste, and then take a print of the document, all the graphs and text is printed upside down, flipped back.

Hi DG.
The easiest way to copy an HP Photo Creations project to another computer is to click the Share button. That will upload the project to the Web and give you a link you can paste into an email. Clicking the link on the other computer allows you to download the project and personalize it. This quick video shows the process. (The screen looks slightly different now, but the concept is the same.)
Another way to share a project is copy the project folder to a thumb drive. Look in Documents/HP Photo Creations/My Things to find your saved projects.
Our customer support team would be happy to walk you through the process. Contact them at [email protected]
Hope this helps,

How to copy and paste a single pixel

How to copy and paste a single pixel
I want to copy a single pixel and then paste it in the
position of
another pixel in the same image.
(This is in effect changing the colour of the target pixel,
isn't it.
But in my case copying an existing pixel seems simpler than
selecting a
colour from the swatch or using the colour picker.)
What is the most efficient way of doing this?
I tried to select one pixel with the marquee tool. Then
copied it with
control-C, but then how do I select the target pixel and
paste with
control-V?
Thanks for your help.

I am a new iPad user. I cannot figure out how to copy and paste from a website to a pages document, and vice versa. Any ideas?

Long press on the text you would like to select (tapping and holding) and then release after the magnifying glass shows up. This will select a single word. Then use the blue dots and drag them to select a region of test. Then press "copy". Open pages, and long press and release where you would like to paste. Then select "paste". That should paste the text.
If the text doesn't select within the browser, it might be an uncopyable format. Like if the text was within an image, naturally you would be unable to select it. The only thing to do there is long press the image and selecting "save image", adding it to your camera roll. Then you could insert the image within pages.

How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

I want to publish a book with Blurb. They don't have Russian fonts, so I have to type the text in Russian in Notes in my iPad, send it to my e-mail box, and then open the e-mail box in Mac, and copy and paste the text into the book template of Blurbs. I don't know how to make a Russian keyboard in Mac to be able to type quickly. I asked about it in the Apple store, and they showed me how to find a Russian keyboard in the net, but it takes much time to type using a screen keyboard, and the texts also cannot be copied and pasted, when they are in Russian. They are erased when I press 'command+C", and all I have is a single letter 'c' instead. No problems with texts in English. Maybe Russian is not supported for copying and pasting?:(

How to copy and paste a photo in another folder using Aperture?

How to copy and paste a photo in another folder using Aperture?

What do you want to achieve? Do you really want to create a copy of an image, and thus create a second copy of the master image file? You will waste disk space this way.
Usually you would create new versions of an image, if you want versions with different adjustments. Versions do not require much additional disk space. But all versions of an image have to be in the same project. To create a new version: Main menu bar -> Photos -> Duplicate Version
To create a copy of an image in another project (and to waste the space ) drag the image to another project while holding down the option key. This will create a copy in the other project.
Sofar nobody here could come up with a good reason why one would want to create a copy. I am curious what in your workflow requires you to do that. Would you mind to tell us?

How to copy and paste in Adobe ios?

How to copy and paste in Adobe ios?

Hi alvintheartist,
Please try the following steps.
Press & hold your finger over text in a PDF document.
Move the blue circle "grabbers" (handles) to expand/reduce the text selection.
Select Copy from the context menu that pops up.
You can paste the copied text into other iOS app or the Search field in Adobe Reader for iOS.
Please note that you cannot paste text directly to a PDF document (because Adobe Reader for iOS is not a PDF editor). However, you can add text annotations to a PDF document.
If you are not able to select text at all, it is highly likely that your PDF document is a scanned PDF (that contains no text).
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

How to copy and paste files to Time Capsule

I thought it could be used as an external disk.
Do you guys know how to copy and paste files directly into Time Capsule?

I thought it could be used as an external disk.
An external disk...also known as a local disk....connects directly to a computer using USB or FireWire.
The Time Capsule is a network disk, since it connects direct to a network. As such, it s a SHARED network device
Open a Finder window and look for the SHARED heading on the left side of the window. The Time Capsule icon should appear there. Click on the Time Caspule icon.
A folder, representing the Time Capsule drive named "Data" (unless you have changed the name of the drive) will appear to the right
Double click on "Data" to mount the Time Capsule drive on the desktop. You may need to click "Connect As" and enter the Time Capsule device password the first time that you do this.

Copy and Paste Formula from One Cell to Multiple (How?)

I am aware of the "autofill" function by dragging the bottom-right corner of a cell containing a formula.
However, I cannot possibly do this if I want to copy the formula and paste it into 10,000 cells.
If I specify a range of cells to paste the copied formula - only the first cell gets it. I have seen this problem in previous iWork for a long time but am surprised Apple has not improved it (or made it obvious enough for me to get it at first sight).
Thanks!

Hello
It's really boring to read several times the same comments: +When I use Autofill on formulae to copy them into empty rows I end up with little red triangles saying it isn't a valid formula. In Excel and Lotus 123 I can just use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V to copy and paste into as many cells as I want, why not Numbers?+
Here we are not Apple employees so you are loosing your time and also the time of all of us reading your posts.
Of course we may let them unread. But as old helpers, we always assume that when someone post something, it's to ask a question to which one of us may give a answer.
Your flames are perfectly useless.
If you wish that Apple take care of your opinion, go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu and describe your wishes.
Happily, one poster make me laugh when he wrote that "this anomaly is a long time one in iWork".
I really don't understand how an application which is in version 1.0 or 1.0.1 may contain a "long time" anomaly !!!!
And the only responce I may give to all of you is: *if you can't live with this feature, stay with E…l.*
*We will not miss you !!*
