Is it possible to select a row of cells with formulas and have them filled down like in Excel?

How to fill cells from a maximum to minimum

Hi very simply if I have a column of twenty cells and in cell 1 I put the number 1 and in cell 20 I put the number 20 is there a way numbers can automatically fill the cells 2-19 with the appropriate increments? I know you can drag a corner of two cells and it will continue the pattern but I have two values in mind an upper and a lower and want to fill the gap between the two.
Thanks

"I wanted to award the top mark of 20 points and slowest time or more of 1 point and just spread the gap evenly across points 2-19."
How does a participant get a time that is "more" than the "slowest time"? (see NOTE appended)
Using the described method of assigning points, here's an example.
For two races, each with three competitors, the points awarded could be (rounded or truncated from) the calculated values below:
Note that the 'best' times and the 'second best' times in both races are the same. Only the time of the slowest runner (and the consequent score of the 'second best') are different.
If the (huge) difference in score for an identical performance when compared with the winning time is acceptable, here's a solution that will calculate those results directly from the list of times (in seconds, expressed as a decimal number).
Notes:
Columns C, D and E are independent calculations, each using the in column B. C shows the raw point value; D shows the same calculation with the result truncated to show only the integer part, E shows the same calculation with the result rounded to the nearer integer value. See the scores for Runners 4, 7, 9 (and others) for differences when reducing the point values to whole number values.
For test and demonstration purposes, I entered the fastest and slowest times in the first two cells of column B, and generated the rest using the RANDBETWEEN function. The entered scores can be in any order. Runners who did not participate, or did not finish should have their column B cell left empty.
Formulas: The three formulas are identical except for truncating or rounding parts (shown in bold). Pick the one that best suits your needs. They're placed in the top row containing race times, and filled down from there.
C2: =IF(LEN(B)>0,1+19*(MAX(B)-B)/(MAX(B)-MIN(B)),"")
D2: =IF(LEN(B)>0,INT(1+19*(MAX(B)-B)/(MAX(B)-MIN(B))),"")
E2: =IF(LEN(B)>0,ROUND(1+19*(MAX(B)-B)/(MAX(B)-MIN(B)),0),"")
Regards,
Barry
NOTE: Your mention of 'the slowest time or more' might offer a way around the score variation noted above. The organization governing F1 racing introduced a new rule recently restricting qualifying times to those less than seven per cent slower than the fastest time in the qualifying rounds. A similar rule, defining a floor value at and below which finishers will be awarded a single point would also make points above that floor dependent only on the runner's performance relative to the race winner.
Here's an example, using the same three-runner races shown above, but with the 'floor' set at 50% more than the winning time.
Formula (in row 2, then filled down)
B2: =IF(LEN(A)>0,IF(A>1.5*MIN(A),1,1+(19)*(1.5*MIN(A)-A)/(1.5*MIN(A)-MIN(A))),"")
Copied to column D, the A references are replaced with D.
Conversion to integer values would use the same modifications as shown above.
The results seem a fairer reflection of the second and third place times wrt the winning times in the two races.

How do I create a shortcut to fill cells with the same background colour

I have recently starting using Numbers, being an Excel user for years.
I often fill cells with a yellow background to highlight them.
In Excel you can do this from a simple colour menu in the toolbar at the top.
I have found no quick and easy way to do this in Numbers.
Any advice would be appreciated.
thank you

As far as I can tell there's no direct equivalent of the little paintbucket button in Excel that remembers the last colour you filled with.
One quick and relatively easy way to achieve it would be with an AppleScript:
tell application "Numbers" to tell front document to tell active sheet
try
set active_table to (first table whose class of selection range is range)
on error
display alert "No selection" buttons {"OK"} default button 1
return
end try
tell active_table
set background color of selection range to {62466, 65535, 28003}
end tell
end tell
This could be run from Numbers' script menu (screen grab below) or saved as an Automator Service and run from a popup or keyboard shortcut (eg ctrl-y).
Post back if you'd like to follow up either of those ideas.

Two common commands missing: go to last filled cell and find within column

Hello,
There seem to be two very common commands (and, by extension, shortcuts) that are missing from Numbers. First, in Excel, you can use command+arrow to go to the last filled cell (even if it is a formula without a result). More importantly, combining this command with the shift key allows you to select an entire column, etc. instantly. The command is also smart enough to exclude headers and formulas in the last row only, initially. You can easily add them by using only shift+arrow after the selection has been made.
Next, you apparently cannot search within a particular selection only, such as an entire column or row (or just a custom selected area). This is obviously very useful.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish these tasks is welcome but a search on these forums and a detailed look at the user manual came up with nothing.
Thanks,
Jonna

Different program, different paradigm.
In the tables in Numbers, there is generally no need to have unused columns at the right or unused rows at the bottom. While I agree it would be nice to have a simple key-command that does these things, there is less of a need for them in a program where the last cell filled is usually the last cell there is.
And selecting an entire row, or column, can be accomplished simply by clicking on the "A" (or "B" or "C"...) or "1" (or "2" or "3"...). This does select the headers and footers as well, however.
With respect, the advent of apple spreadsheet software (however much I respect the company) does not represent a new paradigm–it is just "new" and therefore may be missing some crucial features. You do not provide any helpful suggestions, unfortunately, and the problem remains. What if I do not want to select an entire cell but only from a point in the middle of the column to the end? There is no command nor key command for this.
You also say nothing about the search issue, which is clearly a problem.
Anyway, thanks jaxjason, I will send in some feedback.

How to fill tabs with textures?

Hi all,
I wondering how to fill tabs with textures, just like in the "Personal Budget" template.
I mean this:
How could I replicate this nice effect? Please help!
I already read the user manual but I won't be able to find a solution...

One way is to open the template and select the table with the fill pattern. Open the table inspector
highlight the Image fill cell (in the "Cell Background" section). Copy.
Now open the application Preview in the Applications folder. Select the menu item "File > New From Clipboard" to create a new document with the image you copied. Now save the image as a pdf using the menu item "File > Save..."
Save it with a name you can remember in a location of your choice.
Now select a table in some other Numbers document and set the table background to the image you just saved by using the Table Inspctor:

How to fill internal table with no data in debugging mode

Hi all,
I modified one existing program.Now I want to test it.I am not given test data.So in the middle of my debugging, I found that one internal table with no data.My problem is how to fill that internal table with few records in that debugging mode just as we change contents in debugging mode.If I want to proceed further means that internal table must have some records.
Please I dont know how to create test data so I am trying to create values temporarily in debugging mode only.
Thanks,
Balaji

Hi,
In the debugging do the following..
Click the Table button..
Double click on the internal table name..
Then in the bottom of the screen you will get the buttons like CHANGE, INSERT, APPEND, DELETE..
Use the APPEND button to insert records to the internal table..
Thanks,

How to fill dropdown list in Adobe form

Hi Experts,
I am new to adobe form.Please tell me ,how to fill drop down list in adobe form?
Thanks,
Hans

Hello Arafat,
I am using a drop down list in Adobe Interactive Form for Web Dynpro ABAP.
The form is of ZCI type layout and the form interface is of XML schema-based interface type and the XML schema source is set to "Generated".
I have included the following code in WDDOINIT method of the view:
data: handle1 type ref to if_wd_context_node,
begin of zstruct,
zktokd type kna1-ktokd,
end of zstruct,
zitab type table of zsttxecr.
handle1 = wd_context->get_child_node( name = 'DATA.NODE1' ).
select ktokd from kna1 into corresponding fields of zstruct.
append zstruct to zitab.
endselect.
handle1->bind_table( new_items = zitab ).
In the Adobe Form Designer, i have binded the node NODE1 to the enumerated drop down list from native web dynpro library. Still the drop down box is not getting populated.
Please let me know what is missing.
Thanks and Regards.

How to fill the whole screen of my iMac with the photos included in an iDVD project. (iDVD v. 7.1.2)

How to fill the whole screen of my iMac with the photos I included in an iDVD project. (iDVD v. 7.1.2). I mean, during playing the burned dvd.
When I do "Enter Full Screen", the slide show fills the screen but the photo itself remains in the middle with a wide black border filling the rest.
Any cure for this ?

Hi
In iDVD Preferences - Turn off - TV-Safe area - and the Photos will fill the full area with just letterboxing or pillars as max.
Then "Save as a DiskImage" and test this and see if this plays better - before burning DVDs that's not as You want them.

Hello,
you need to provide the information via the interface, which you create for the Adobe form.
And then pass this values via the following function module inside your generation report.
CALL FUNCTION fm_name
check standard report : FP_EXAMPLE_01 as an example!
