How to highlight a cell if it matches a cell within a range.

To be more exact I am wanted to highlight cell A1 on sheet 2 if it matches any cell within a specific range on sheet 1.

Hi bnmueller,
It looks like we can choose a row or a column as a range but not a part of that column or row. This is a neat discovery. I had thought we can only compare to a single cell. Instead of clicking on a cell in your rule, click on a row or column.
You may be able to rework your table- or set up the equivilant of a look up table to use this.
Thanks for the question.

How to highlight a cell in a table

I have a 2D array of numbers that I'm passing through a number to string converter and then passing to a table. I am wondering if there is a way that I can make any cell which contains a number over a certain threshold blink... I realize the values in the table are strings so I'm guessing maybe doing a find max in array and then somehow tracking the index for that value and making the cell blink? I'm not even sure if that is possible.
Thanks

How do I get this loop to give me numbers within a range?

So for a school assignment I need to get a loop to display all the numbers in a certain range. This range is input by the user with a starting number and an end number. For some reason when i put the code in all its giving me is the end number and not the numbers between the start and end. I was wondering if someone could show me what to tweak to fix it. This is the code so far...
// Add event listener
submit_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick);
function onClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
// Declare Variables
var startInput:String;
var endInput:String;
var startNum:Number;
var endNum:Number;
// Get Start Value from Text Field
startInput=start_txt.text;
// Convert value from string to number
startNum = Number(startInput);
// Get End Value from Text Field
endInput=end_txt.text;
// Convert value from string to number
endNum = Number(endInput);
// For loop
for (var range:int = startNum; range <= endNum; range++ )
response_txt.text = "The numbers between the inputed integers are " + range + "!";
I've also include the actual program so you can see it if you want to test it..
Thanks for your help,

Being that you're a student and this is an assignment, I have to honor what I believe the intentions of the assignment are, which is for you to solve it and get it working, not for someone else to hand you the solution. But I can offer a hint...
It's not a question of slowing it down, it's a question of controlling what gets written to the output textfield when. If you did the trace you saw that it was rewriting the textfield in each loop. So just as a hint, look up the appendText() method of the TextField class.

How do I highlight multiple cells in a form?

I created a form in Acrobat X. Previously, when the customer filled the (Excel) form and returned it, our staff would be able to highlight an entire column and paste it into another software package that tracks expenses etc. Now, with a requirement of digital signatures on our forms (as well as a few other requirements that the PDF form fulfills), we need to go the PDF route instead fo Excel. The downside to the PDF is that I can't figure out how to make it so that our staff can highlight an entire column and copy paste.
For example, if it were the table below. Pressing "select all" in Reader would only highlight the cells A1 - D1 and A1 - A7, the cells that say "TXT ENTERED TO FORM" would not be highlighted. I would not be able to highlight the cells (like you can in Excel) B2 - D2.
A1
B1
C1
D1
A2
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
A3
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
A4
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
A5
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
A6
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
A7
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
TXT ENTERED TO FORM
Any assistance or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

You state that you have "Multiple lines" checked but you don't get multiple lines. Does this mean you don't see visually mulitple lines or you have tested the form and you can't enter in multiple lines? If you are wanting the field to expand as you type, please check out my solution here: http://forums.adobe.com/thread/832659?tstart=0.

How do you highlight several cells with the mouse in numbers

how do you highlight several cells with the mouse in numbers

Hi David,
Using only the mouse, you can select a contiguous range of cells using the method described by dwb.
For larger (but still contiguous) ranges you might prefer this method:
Click the first (top left) cell of the desired selection.
Scroll to the last (botom right) cell of the desired selection.
Shift-click the bottom right cell to select it, and all of the cells in the rectangular array defined by this and the top left cell selected in step 1.
To select two or more non-contiguous cells:
Click on the first to select it.
Command-click on another to add it to the selection.
Repeat as necessary.
Regards,
Barry

OO ALV - How to highlight cell after value change

Hi All,
I have an OO ALV with an input enable column and would like to highlight a cell in a different color when the user changes it's value.
I am using pr_data_changed->get_cell_value to check the cells value has changed and pr_data_changed->modify_cell to update the cell with the new value.
The output table has a field called CELLCOLOR of type LVC_T_SCOL which I am using to highlight the cell in red:
         lw_cellcolor-fname = 'THISFIELD' .
         lw_cellcolor-color-col = '7'.
The ALV layout is also correclty set using:   layout-ctab_fname = 'CELLCOLOR'
All the above is working fine and the changed cell is highlighted HOWEVER it only works if I call METHOD g_grid->refresh_table_display
Is there anyway to highlight the cell without calling method refresh_table_display??????
I do not like to call method refresh_table_display in an ALV event. The main reason is if a user changes a cells value and at the same time selects the row for update then the method refresh_table_display wipes out the row selection marker.
So Is there anyway to highlight the cell without calling method refresh_table_display??????
All your help appreciated
Che

Try this way
In the PAI use
call method get_selected_rows
This will get you the row index of the selected rows from the screen for example I_ROW
In PBO
call method g_grid->set_selected_rows
exporting
it_row_no = i_rows[].
then call refresh_table_first_display
So this one will keep row selection after the refresh_table_first_display method

How to print selected cells in numbers

Does anyone know how to print selected cells in a Numbers spreadsheet, rather than printing the entire sheet?
Also, how to save the selected cells as a pdf file without saving the irrelevant cells?

Hi nmygs,
How about this?
Cell A1 is a Pop-Up Menu containing names of the various "Departments"
Other cells contain formulas to find a match for whatever is chosen in A1 from the Very Big Data Table.

I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 thing. But now my iphone's gmail inbox shows a random selection of emails (not most recent ones that are in my inbox). How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

I synced two of my email accounts via gmail's POP3 capabilities. But now my iphone's gmail inbox only shows a random selection of emails (i.e. right now it is May 31, 2013 but the emails in my inbox are a couple from Nov 12, a few from Oct 12, and then some way older than that and so on.When I log into my gmail from a computer, I see all my emails in the logical, standard order. How can I make my iphone inbox match what I see when I log on using a PC?

If you're trying to decide between using POP and IMAP, we encourage you to use IMAP.
Unlike POP, IMAP offers two-way communication between your web Gmail and your email client. This means when you log in to Gmail using a web browser, actions you perform on email clients and mobile devices (ex: putting mail in a 'work' folder) will instantly and automatically appear in Gmail (ex: it will already have a 'work' label on that email the next time you sign in).
IMAP also provides a better method to access your mail from multiple devices. If you check your email at work, on your mobile phone, and again at home, IMAP ensures that new mail is accessible from any device at any given time.
Finally, IMAP offers a more stable experience overall. Whereas POP is prone to losing messages or downloading the same messages multiple times, IMAP avoids this through two-way syncing capabilities between your mail clients and your web Gmail.

How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen?

How do I get my printer to match the colours of the image as I see it on screen? My HP Office Jet Pro L7680 printer tends to print my images with a bias towards red compared to the image I am seeing on screen with Lightroom 5 using a Mac with Retina 5 screen. Would appreciate any expertise on how to calibrate the printer to the screen

You have two options. The first method costs nothing but is not as accurate and the second means buying hardware and investing some time. The fastest way to get things closer is to download the color profile from the printer manufactures site for the printer and paper combination you are using. Install it on you Mac and relaunch LR. This is best when the paper and printer are both from the same company; in your case, HP. If the paper is not made by HP, you can often find profiles for your paper/printer by going to the paper maker's web site and doing a search for the appropriate profile.
The other alternative is to purchase a piece of hardware such as the ColorMonki which can be used to not only profile your monitor for color balance but also you printer/paper as well as your camera. When all of your devices agree on what color 118,118,118 means, you get the same color from capture to print but this is also an expensive option and there is a lot of time involved in building your own color profiles. The results however, are much more accurate.
Once you have a color profile installed, the next step involves doing soft proofing. Once you have your image looking the way you want it to in LR, open it in the soft proof option. This will show you how your print will look using the color profile for the paper/printer you are using. During the process, you will be shown the print on your screen which may look off. Use the small triangle in the upper-right corner of the histogram to turn on the out-of-gamut warning. This will highlight any parts of your image which contain colors your printer can't handle. Use the rendering intent options to decide how you want these colors handled (relative or perceptual). Check them both and use the one you like best. You can also make additional changes at this point if required before you generate the JPG image. Make sure to save it as a max quality JPG using the sRGP profile. Once saved, you can send this image to your printer or even to a lab as the process is the same.The attached link should get you to a video showing how to use the ColorMunki hardware/software but, more importantly, shows you how to prepare an image for printing (in this case, for a lab) using soft proofing with the color profile created (or downloaded).--Great Color from Your Lab Prints – Every Time! on Vimeo

Can you select the row in a table view without highlighting the cell?

I have an an app with a table view which is presented modally. Cell selections in this table are saved in the parent controller so that they can be reselected if the table is reloaded after being dismissed.
When the cell is first highlighted, I want to momentarily highlight the cell and have it fade out, which I do by unselecting the cell from the modal view controller's didSelectRowAtIndexPath by calling setSelected:animated on the table view cell.
However, when I present the table view controller modally again and want to display the previously selected cell as selected, I don't want the cell background to be highlighted, and I'm having trouble doing this.
In order to make sure the table view knows the cell is selected, I am calling selectRowAtIndexPath. I need to make sure the cell is selected so that I can set/unset the cell's accessoryType. However, this has the sideeffect of highlighting the cell too, which looks weird and confusing to the user.
I've tried things like temporarily setting the cell's selection style to none, but while that stops the cell background from highlighting? I've tried setting the selectionStyle to UITableViewSelectionStyleNone, but while this prevents the cell background from highlighting, the cell text still changes to white, so it the text is invisible against the white background.
Is there a easy way of setting a cell to selected in the table view without also changing the highlight and text colour of the actual cell? Immediately setting the cell to be unselected still makes the highlight visible for a split second.

I tried that, but setting the highlighted property doesn't seem to affect it.
I figured out how what I was doing wrong though. I was setting selection style UITableViewSelectionStyleNone, selecting the cell, then setting the selection style back to whatever it had previously been. This causes the background not to draw highlighted, but the text and accessory type to still draw highlighted.
In order to fix this, I moved the code to set the cell selection style to whatever it had previously been to the didDeselectRowAtIndexPath method.

How to drag a cell (or cells) in Numbers 3.0 ?

In all previous releases, it used to be that if I selected one or more contiguous cells, and then placed the cursor on the cell, I could drag them around the spreadsheet.
But as of today's release, any selection creates yellow anchor circles on the corner, and the only options I seem to have are to either resize the # of cells in the selection, or drag and replicate the contents.
Has anyone figured out how to plain ol' drag cells ?
Thanks.

Same problem here, then I stumbled onto the answer:
If you highlight a cell that you want to drag you no longer grab the little dot on the corner.
Instead, highlight the cell (no need to double click), then let your cursor float over any of the cell's borders and a little yellow dot will appear. Grab this yellow dot to drag formulae, sequential numbers, etc.

How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array?

How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array of numeric indicators?
I want the VI to check a data value and if it is failing, white out a square at a specific index coordinate. I have it working with color boxes, but I'm not sure how to use the property node function, to change the color of individual cells, by coordinates.
I have attached the VI using color boxes. If you run the VI, the box corresponding to the Step control should turn white.
I want to do the same thing, using numeric indicator boxes inside the array.
Thanks for any suggestions...

Get rid of all these sequences! That's just bad form.
Your code has a few logical problems. Why do you create a boolean array if you later only look at the last element (Yes, the FOR loop does nothing useful, except in the last iteration because your outputs are not indexing. All other iterations are useless, you only get the result of the last array element. My guess is that you want to color the index white if at least one of the numbers is out if range. Right?
It is an absolute nightmare to manage all your numeric labels. Just read them from a 2D array. Now you can simply find the index of the matched elements and don't have to spend hours editing case structure conditions.
Attached is a simple example how you would do what I meant (LV7.1). Modify as needed.

Highlight Changed Cells - Too many cells (no named range)?

Hello,
I implemented the Highlight Changed Cells Function as described in the How-To-Paper from Gerd Schoeffl (How To...Highlight Changed Cells in SAP BusinessObjects Analysis for Office).
In my workbook I have two tabs with different crosstabs. I noticed that the highlighting function only works for one of them and that there is a warning for the other one: "There is no named range for Crosstab1". In the coding I saw that the error message is put out by the Highlighting Changed Cells subs but I am not sure why the problem occurs (I could not find out at which point of the runtime the error occurs, even when I tried debugging it).
When I restrict the selection to less cells it works for the same crosstab. Therefore I would assume that there are simply too many cells for the function to work, is that possible? And if so, has anybody found a solution? In the crosstab there are 376 rows and 21 columns...
This is the code that contains the error message:
Sub createMapInitial(CrossTabName As String)
    Dim map As Object
    Dim cross As Range
    Dim Cell As Variant
    Set map = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    On Error GoTo RangeNotFound
    Set cross = Range("SAP" + CrossTabName)
    Dim RowSel As Object
    Dim ColSel As Object
    Dim rowkey As Variant
    Dim colkey As Variant
    Dim keyMap As String
' delete the last selection tables
    If Not RowSel Is Nothing Then
        Set RowSel = Nothing
    End If
    If Not ColSel Is Nothing Then
        Set ColSel = Nothing
    End If
    Set RowSel = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    Set ColSel = CreateObject("Scripting.Dictionary")
    Call FillSelTabs(CrossTabName, RowSel, ColSel)
    For Each Cell In cross
        If isDataCell(Cell) = True Then
            rowkey = RowSel.Item(Cell.row)
            colkey = ColSel.Item(Cell.column)
            keyMap = rowkey + colkey
            Call map.Add(keyMap, Cell.value)
        End If
    Next
    Call MapCollection.Add(CrossTabName, map)
    On Error GoTo 0
    Exit Sub
RangeNotFound:
    Dim text As String
    text = "There is no named range for " + CrossTabName
    Call Application.Run("SAPAddMessage", text)
    On Error GoTo 0
End Sub

Hi Werner,
I disabled the OnError handling which gave me some progress:
Now when I switch on the Highlight Changes function I receive this error message:
When I click Debug it takes me to the following part of the "update MAP and compare" sub (code will be posted below):
From my understanding in this step a key is created that consists of an identifiert (the first big string) and the elements of the selection of the data source (e.g. 27 is the region, 1144 the plant number). The smallest unit in our case is the plan and we don't have the same plant number twice in our selection, therefore the key should be unique.
When I remove the plant from my selection by filtering suddenly the Highlight Changes function works again. So it seems that this plant causes the problem but I don't really understand why. Does anybod have an idea?
Here the missing code of update map and compare (same as in the How To Paper):

How to highlight tree item ?

Have patience. You only aske the question about 40 minutes earlier.
You highlight rows like you want by writing values to the tree control. Don't mess with cell background color.
Are you trying to highlight multiple items? If so, then right click on the control and allow it to select 0 or more items. As soon as you select a mode with the possibility of more than one item, the tree values become an array of strings rather than just a string. You will need to build an array of strings that you will write to the control's local variable to highlight the multiple items.
