How To Insert Cells Into One Column Only

Can anyone advise me, how to insert a cell (or multiple cells) into +just one column+ whilst leaving everything else on the sheet exactly as it is?
I'm migrating from Excel and can't find this functionality in Numbers
Thanks in advance for any help

Thank you for taking the time to reply, thereby removing the misery of me continuing to search for this absent function!
I really wanted to like the iWork apps! I recently rebuilt one of my rigs and had the intention of making it a Microsoft-free computer - hence the purchase of iWork.
However, the last few days of 'learning curve' I have stumbled upon an increasing number of incompatibilities and limitations when compared to Excel, and the lack of the function to insert a single cell into a sheet is the final deal-breaker for me, sadly.
So, reluctantly, I am going to install my Microsoft Office 2008 suite and get back to where I was before. I will continue to look at the iWork apps but I suspect they'll fall to the wayside.
Once again, many thanks for confirming what I was reluctantly concluding.

  • How to insert data into a table only when data has changed its value (when compared to the previous inserted value)

    I wish to insert data into a table only when the value of the inserted data has changed. Thus, in a time series, if the value of the data at time, t-1, is 206 then if the data to be inserted at time t is 206, then it is skipped (not entered).
    If the value of the data at time t+1 is 206, it is skipped also; until the value changes, so if the value at t+1 was 205, then that would be inserted, and if at time t+2 the data is 206, it would be inserted too.
    What is the best way to do it without increasing overheads?

    This view works:
    SELECT
    i.IDNO,i.[Date],i.[Level]
    FROM
    mytable i
    INNER
    JOIN mytable
    d
    ON
    d.IDNO
    = i.IDNO-1
    WHERE
    i.[Level]
    <> d.[Level]
    on this mytable below.  A trigger could be quite useful here although I am cautious using them. However I wish to avoid the overhead by not having a temp table (which could be sizable).  mytable below
    should give 3 lines. The IDNO is an identity column.

  • How do insert files into one song in Auditions?

    I have six edited music files and I want to place them all into one file to run in PowerPoint. How do I do that? Thanks.

    In Multitrack view, you have to place the files on the timeline, and then do the mixdown. In Waveform view, you can select them all at once, but I wouldn't - there's no guarantee that they'd be placed in the order you selected them. The safe way to do it is to open the first file, move the cursor to the end of it, and then Open>Append the next one. With only six files, that's not exactly an onerous task. The only other thing you might want to do between each file (depending upon how they were made) is to insert a little silence between each one, but that's easy to do after they're assembled in a line. It's easier to do that in Multitrack though, just by sliding the files along the timeline, adjusting the gaps to be whatever you need them to be. In the mixdown, the gaps will be identical.

  • How to insert signals into multiple columns in db, dbtoolset

    I have  a labVIEW program that is currenly simulating voltage and a current signal using the DAQ Assistant. I'm using the database connectivity toolset. I am currently able to insert one signal into the database converted to a float(I can insert both into the same column as bianary but it needs to be stored as a usable format and in seperate columns.)
    The problem I am having is at the DB Tools Insert Data block. I have the connection, dbTable, error code, and create table boolean being passed into it. Where I am a little lost is how to set the columns I want to store the multiple signals into.
    If someone could break that part down for me that would be great. In short, I want to store voltage(channel0) and current(channel1) from the DAQ Assistant into their own respective columns in the db.

    As I have often pointed out, the easiest solution to this situation is to dump the Database Connectivity Toolkit. Check out this thread and follow the references in it. If the DCT weren't in the way what you are wanting to do would be very easy.

  • How to insert document into xmltype column through an http post request with perl

    Oracle 11.2.0.3
    Windows server 2008r2
    Apache tomcat 7.0
    Oracle APEX 4.2.1
    Oracle APEX Listener 2.0
    I would like to insert a XML document into the database through an APEX restful web service. The POST into the web service in done with PERL. The following code will insert an empty record in a table with column of XMLType type.
    Perl Code
    use strict;
    use warnings;
    use LWP::UserAgent;
    use HTTP:Headers;
    my $headers = HTTP::Headers->new();
    my $url = "http://host:port:apex/<application_workspace>/<restfull service module>/<uri template>/
    my $sendthis = ('<?xml version="1.0" enconding="utf-8"?>
    <students>
    <row>
           <name>Mark</name>
          <age>30</age>
    </row>
    <./students>';)
    $headers -> header('Content-Type' => 'text/xml; charset=utf-8');
    my $request = HTTP:Request->new('POST', $url, $headers, $sendthis);
    $request-> protocol('HTTP/1.1');
    my $browser = LWP::UserAgent->new();
    my $response = $browser->request($request);
    my $gotthis= $response->content();
    my $the_file_data = $response->content();
    APEX restful service
    Method: POST
    Source type: PL/SQL
    MIME Types allowed: blank
    require secure access: none
    source:
    {declare
    doc varchar2(32000);
    begin
    insert into table <column name>
    values(doc);
    commit;
    end;
    Table code
    { create table <tablename>
    (column name XMLType>);
    The above code will insert an empty column into the table.
    Any ideas why?

    It's a really bad idea to assemble XML using strings and string concatenation in SQL or PL/SQL. First there is a 4K limit in SQL, and 32K limit in PL/SQL, which means you end up constructing the XML in chunks, adding uneccessary complications. 2nd you cannot confirm the XML is valid or well formed using external tools.
    IMHO it makes much more sense to keep the XML content seperated from the SQL / PL/SQL code
    When the XML can be stored a File System accessable from the database, The files can be loaded into the database using mechansims like BFILE.
    In cases where the XML must be staged on a remote file system, the files can be loaded into the database using FTP or HTTP and in cases where this is not an option, SQLLDR.

  • How do I switch from one column to another in a simple 3-column document?  Seems lame, but I can't find the answer in "help"...

    How do I switch from one column to the next, skip around?  Tab key doesn't seem to do itl.  I can't find any "help" in "help".  Help.  Please.  Thank you.

    Hi Karen,
    It is simple.
    Columns fill with text as the text becomes enough to spill over from the previous column. Below is an example. I have used a huge (6" botom margin setting to shorten the page to a reasonable length for a screen shot, and turned on Show layout and Show invisibles so the column boundaries and invisible characters can be seen. Here there's no text in column 3 as there is only enough text to fill column 1 and part of column 2.
    As more text is added, it eventually fills column 2 and flows into column 3:
    You can force the text into the next column by inserting a column break. Here, a column break has repalced the paragraph break in column 2 (after 'fascilisi."):

  • Find and replace an item in one column only

    I have tried and tried and I cannot work out how to find and replace an item in one column only.
    For example one column has a letter followed by a number which varies in length.
    I want to find and repace the letters with nothing leaving the numbers only.
    But when I try to do this all the letters in the spreadheet are replaced, not just in the column I have selected.
    Help please....

    Hi 8'
    Use a formula.
    Insert a (temporary) auxiliary column to the right of the one for which you want to male the changes.
    Assuming you description is accurate—every entry in the column consists of a letter followed immediately by a number of one or more digits—the problen could also be stated as  "How do I strip the first character from a string?"
    Here's a sample. Letter followed by number in column B; number part without leading letter i column C:
    Formula:
    C2, and filled down to end of column: =RIGHT(B,LEN(B)-1)
    When the formula has done its work:
    Select all of column C (except the ehader row cell), and Copy.
    Select cell B2, and go Edit > Paste Values.
    Select column C again and go Table (menu) > Delete column.

  • Sql loader - mutiple values into one column

    Hi,
    Is it possible to load multiple fields into one column. Eg, my table structure has two columns COL1, COL2 and my data file is comma delimted with 3 fields A,B,C.
    How could i use sql loader to achieve (without the use of temp tables)
    COL1 = A
    COL2 = BC
    Thanks

    I don't understand why you can't modify the input fille.
    But anyway, i have 2 ways to help you
    1. Make new inputfile online using pipe and awk(or something your are familiar with) and use it as new input file.
    This is a traditional and powerful method in Unix environment.
    For instance:
    oracle> $ mknod pipe.dat p
    oracle> cat input.dat | awk '{print ...}' > pipe.dat &
    oracle> sqlldr ctl=.. data=pipe.dat
    Using this method, you don't need to modify original input file physically, but by some magical trick you can modify it on the fly.
    2. Use before trigger
    For instance:
    create table load(a int, b int, c int, d int);
    create or replace trigger load_trigger
    before insert on load
    for each row
    begin
    :new.d := :new.b + :new.c;
    :new.b := null;
    :new.c := null;
    end;
    load data
    infile *
    append
    into table load
    fields terminated by "," optionally enclosed by '"'
    (a, b, c)
    begindata
    1, 1, 1
    2, 2, 2
    3, 3, 3
    4, 4, 4
    sqlldr userid=... ctl=load.ctl
    SQL> select * from load;
    A B C D
    1 2
    2 4
    3 6
    4 8
    You won't like the existence of unnecessary columns(B, C) but don't have choice. ^^;
    I think there is another simple way provided by SQL*Loader. But i've never tried it myself. Read following doc and try it yourself:

    Hi,
    Any one know's how to insert data into the mysql table by giving as a text file as the input in JSP.Please respond ASAP.
    Thanks:)

    At least you can try StringTokenizer to parse your text files. Or download a text JDBC driver to parse your files, for instance, HXTT Text(www.hxtt.net) or StelsCSV(www.csv-jdbc.com).

  • When I save a PDF as an Excel File, all of the data in the PDF is put into one column (AdobeXI)

    Hi, thanks for taking the time...
    I'm running a machine with Windows 7, Office 2010, and Acrobat XI.  When I save a specific PDF as an Excel workbook, all of the data in the original PDF is sorted correctly in four columns.  When the same task is performed on this file on another user's machine, all of the data is sorted into one column.  The user has the same versions of Windows, Office, and Acrobat.  I've attempted the "Repair installation" option but the problem persists.  Any suggestions?  Thanks again for helping,
    -E

    Thanks for the quick reply.  I figured out how to get the desired results by using tagging.  For anyone who may reference this post in the future, I went to "Customize" in the top right corner of Adobe, then selected "Create new tool set...", looked under "accessiblity and found the "tag" option.  Hit ok, tag is added to the toolbar.  Then I highlighted the dataset in the PDF that was relevant to the output format, then clicked "tag", saved as spreadsheet.  Sorry I can't provide more details on how tagging works or if there's a more elegant solution available, but I'm sure one's out there.
