How to reuse a table style in Numbers 3.0

I can save a Numbers Table Style in one spreadsheet, but I've no idea how to open and use the saved style in another spreadsheet.
When I save the style it shows up in the inspector for that document, but does't appear in the inspector when I open another document.
Am I attempting something that can't be done?

Guillame,
You're right about not being able to add styles, and I have not figured out how to modify a predefined character style, other than to Rename or Delete a predefined style. I have added this to my list of things lost.

  • How to make stork table in Mac numbers

    hello,
    how how to make stork tables in numbers just as what we can creat in windows excel?
    thank you

    Another way to create this type of chart is to create the pieces in separate charts and then layer them. 
    You create two stacked bar charts.  There are two rows of values in each.  The color of the bottom value is set to "no fill" to create the floating bar effect. 
    The width of the stick bar is changed by setting the gap to the maximum allowable (999%).  The "stick" chart is placed behind the other.
    For this to work, they need to be the exact same size and with the same axis values.  Setting the axis to have fixed values makes this easier.  Also, it improves the appearance to limit all the axis labels and lines to be in just one of the charts.

  • How to save a table style?

    I can't seem to save a table style.... I create a new one with the palette, give it a name, set all the parameters, click OK -- and it's not there next time I try to use it. Can anyone figure out what I'm doing wrong? Many thanks for any help!

    Perhaps the OP is not satisfied with a ASCII text file being opened in Excel, and actually wants a XLS or XLSX file.  If that is the case checkout the Report Generation Toolkit which now comes with some versions of LabVIEW 2014, or look at XLR8.
    We should also mention that the Write Measurement File Express VI can save data with an xlsx format.  Yes, it is the true format that Excel uses.  So if you already have all of the data, that might be a really good way to go.

  • How to create new character styles in Numbers 3.0

    In Numbers 3.0, it is possible to update existing characters styles, but I cannot find how to create a new character style, the + sign in the popup is always inactive when I edit text in a cell. The paragraph style popup has an active +, but it doesn't work for character style.
    Is there any way to create a new character style?

  • How do I keep table relations from Numbers when copying them to Pages ?

    I have two tables within Numbers (because I need two different formats) and have connected them with a formula in Numbers. This works fine.
    But when I copy the two tables to a Pages document, the link between the tables is broken, i.e. if I modify a value in table 1, the corresponding value in table 2 is not modified.
    What can I do to keep the link between the tables inside Pages ?
    Bernhard

    Question asked and answered many times.
    There is no link between tables in Pages.
    Build your complete document in a Numbers Sheet and the problem will be solved.

  • How can I export table and cell styles to use in another InDesign document?

    I've been looking…and looking but can't find out how to export table styles within InDesign CC. If there is a load table styles option within the panel, it stands to reason there should be an export. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

    Frank,   John's solution is it.    But that also requires that you have those old files easily on hand to access.  Maybe even searching for them in the future, 3 months down the road, could be a pain.   You can always save a Library for that file and drag some of those styled elements into that library.   Save the library in a place that you will keep access to and readily pull assets from.   In the future doc open that library and drag the styled element into your new document and the styles are now in the new doc to reuse.   I have a library saved just for tables.

  • How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula?

    hi everyone
    i need help
    How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula in the cells?

    Ok... I see your problem... when pasting into Pages, the formulas from Numbers are included. Perhaps this is really more of a Pages question (in which case I'm far from expert). A couple of ideas:
    • In Pages, try "Edit"/"Paste and Match Style", which may insert tab delimited cell values (no formulas). Then, if you want the table format back, select these newly pasted tabbed values and use Page's "Format"/"Table"/"Convert Text to Table"/
    • In Numbers, before copying, make a temporary table of the plain values first, then copy and paste that into Pages. To do this, select the range of cells you desire in the Numbers and "Edit"/"Copy". Then "Edit"/"Deselect All" and "Edit"/"Paste Values" and "Edit"/"Cut". Now just a table of values is on the clipboard and you can head over to Pages to paste.

  • IDCS6 - How do I create tables with large whole numbers and small fractions?

    I have a lot of engineering data, dimensions, etc, to enter into an existing IDCS6 Table. I need whole numbers to display full size, but fractions to be small size. I know I can use Open Type and select the Fractions option for each individual fraction, but that would take forever and give me a roaring headache.
    How do I create a style (or whatever) that will allow me to just type in the numbers and have them automatically apply small formatting to the fraction portion of the number whenever it sees a "/"?
    Along a similar line, I was trying to copy table data from a PDF document from Acrobat X Pro and paste that into an IDCS6 table, so each cell is populated by the appropriate cell data from the PDF file, but didn't have any success. That would really save me a lot of time, because I have many complete tables in PDF format. The data is not protected in the PDF, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how to bring it over to IDCS6.
    On a Mac, OSX 10.8.5.
    Thanks,
    Lou

    There are a number of ways to do it, but I make fractions using Dan Rodney's excellent (and free) Proper Fraction script. After it's installed; assign it a keyboard shortcut. Then type your numerator/denominator, select it, and invoke the script. With just a couple keystrokes, you've got a perfectly formatted fraction.
    As for the PDF tables, I'd try exporting the host file to RTF and copy/pasting from there. In case you're unaware, to paste values into InDesign table cells, the number of (pre-existing), cells/rows/columns in InDesign must match those copied (from) exactly, and must be pre-selected when the Paste command is executed. So...
    1. Set up empty destination table in InDesign which matches the source structure.
    2. Select source cells and Copy.
    3. In Indesign, select exact same (x, y, qty), range of destination cells and Paste.

  • How do I show table paragraph styles in keynote 6.1 (mac)?

    Hi community,
    I am tryying to apply changes to paragraph styles in keynote 6.1 (mac). But in the list which opens when i click in the triangle only the basis paragraph styles are seen.
    Any ideas how and whre i can find theses styles.
    Thanks
    slyrs

    I am sorry that I cannot make myself clear - perhaps because of my language competence
    1) There is a table style (for the whole table)
    And there are PARAGRAPH-styles for the text-attributes of the text in the table-cells (bold, italic, size, font etc.). I would call this a paragraph-style. This can be seen here:
    But this style cannot be edited or changed because it does not show up in the dropdown of the parapgrah-styles - as can be seen here:
    You DO NOT FIND the paragraph-style ("Absatzstil" in German) "Tabellenstil 1" in the dropdown.

  • How do you have the bottom stroke of a table show up using Table Styles and Cell Styles only?

    I am using InDesign CS6, and I want to create a Table Style that has the bottom stroke show up, but does not have a table border, such as:
    However, whenever I try to change the Table or Cell strokes so that the last stroke shows up, I get the entire table border, or some strange combination of borders:
    Does anyone have any insight on how I can get the bottom stroke to show up while preserving my other stroke properties? Since I work with long documents, it's necessary to be able to control all of my tables through Table Styles and Cell Styles, and not by manually changing each and every table with the Stroke palette.
    For reference, here are the my current Table Style properties and the resulting table:

    Michael Murphy is the InDesign style-meister. He wrote "Adobe InDesign Styles" for Adobe Press, and did a great Lynda.com title on InDesign styling. Here's what he says in the book:
    "As mentioned at the beginning of this chapter, with all the power of table and cell styles, it is important to understand not only how they work and what they can do for you, but also to understand their limitations.
    "Two formatting features missing in table and cell styles have already been discussed: You will always have to set the column width and row height of cells when applying a table style for the first time, and you will always have to convert body rows to header and/or footer rows every time you apply a table style for first time or update the table's data....
    "But there's another kind of limitation that's important to keep in mind as you are designing tables: It is very easy to design a table that cannot be completely defined by a table style. In many cases, you'll need to define an extra cell style or two that lets you complete for formatting. [my emphasis]."
    So I think that's what you have to do: Apply another cell style on top of the cells at the bottom of the table after applying the table style.

  • How to update table styles in the new Pages?

    Anyone found out how to update table styles in the new Pages? I see it's done in some of the templates that Apple provided, but I can't find it. Also, the Copy table style command is gone, so I can't make my tables look in a uniform way, unless I use one of the built-in styles.
    Thanks.

    I'm having the same trouble. Looks like no way to create an overal 'table' style and I cannot access the table paragraph styles either.

  • Problem with footer in table style not applying paragraph style... or just me?

    I'm having a niggling problem making a table style with cell/paragraph styles for the header, body, and footer respectively. I want to make it as simple as possible for other users but one thing keeps tripping me up. I'll try and describe with screenshots. I'm using InDesign CS5 on Windows 7.
    I have a table style set up with cell styles for the header, body, and footer, and paragraph styles for each as well. Say I'm converting a list of generic text to this table:
    i convert it to my table style. The body style is a numbered list:
    I convert the header to an, err, Header. The cell applies the header paragraph style as I should expect:
    I convert the footer likewise, but it maintains the Body text paragraph style as an override!
    So naturally I clear the override and it works fine. But of course, I'd rather it acted like the header row. I can't work out where the override on the footer comes from and why it operates differently in this respect to the header row. There is nothing different about how the styles are constructed. Have I made a mistake somewhere, or is this correct behaviour I'm misinterpreting, or something...?
    edit: Here is the file, if that will help:

  • How to include in table of contents the list of figures and list of tables?

    How to include in table of content the "Table of contents", "List of figures" and "List of tables"? All are generated with function Table of contents, but they will not appear in generated table of contents even if they have proper style of headings - Heading 1, as other chapter.
    I get this in generated Table of contentes of my dissertaion thesis:
    Table of contents
    Preface
    Table of contents <- missing
    List of tables <- missing
    List of figures <- missing
    Introduction
    Main
    Conclusion
    Is it ok, that generated lists are not included in table of contents?

    You've just confused me.
    My understanding of how this is set up is that either:
    This is a book, and there is a master TOC that includes all book documents and a document-specific TOC in each component file, or
    This is a single file and there is one master TOC that includes all sections and a section-specific TOC that includes only the individual section.
    In the first case, I think you would want two TOC styles set up, one that includes the chapter heads (if I understood how you said this worked) for the for the master, and you would include all docs in the book when you generate it, and a second style for the individual chapters, with the subheadings you want to include.
    In the second case, it would be similar, but instead of only one style to cover the section TOCS, I think you would need to create a unique set of pargraph styles for the headings in each section (they can all be the same format, based one section, just with unique names), and then make a TOC style for each section that includes only the styles from that section.
    OK,  wait a sec. I just reread what you said: "Another thing: when the numbers are "linked" and updating well, they  display indide a little box. Not a text box, but a kind of little frame  around the numbers. That frame makes it imposible to delete just one  number: when the TOC says that Section 6.1 is in page 135, for example,  you cannot delete just the 5, it deletes, not just the 3 numbers, but  also the doted tab."
    I think these are NOT normal TOCs created by using Layout > TOC (but you could replace them with ones that are, if you set up your styles properly and the text you want to include is appearing on the pages). Those little boxes you mention sound like cross-references, which should update automatically without any intervention at all. Unfortunately, cross-refs can be flakey, especially if they point to another document. I'd open the cross-refs panel and see if you need to recreate a bunch of links.

  • How to join 2 tables with unequal rows without resulting in a cartesian join

    Hello,
    This is the first time I have ever posted in any forum so please tell me if I should be doing this better.
    Basically I have 2 tables with an unequal number of rows. For demonstration purposes, assume these are my 2 tables:
    Table 1:
    BaseKey
    Letters
    A
    A
    A
    B
    A
    C
    B
    A
    B
    B
    Table 2:
    BaseKey
    Numbers
    A
    1
    A
    2
    B
    1
    B
    2
    B
    3
    I need to join them so that the data would appear like this
    BaseKey
    Letters
    Numbers
    A
    A
    1
    A
    B
    2
    A
    C
    null
    B
    A
    1
    B
    B
    2
    B
    null
    3
    Does anyone have any ideas how to do this using T-SQL without creating a cartesian join of 12 rows?
    Thanks.

    Please post DDL, so that people do not have to guess what the keys, constraints, Declarative Referential Integrity, data types, etc. in your schema are. Learn to follow ISO-11179 data element naming conventions and formatting rules. Temporal data should
    use ISO-8601 formats. Code should be in Standard SQL as much as possible and not local dialect.
    This is minimal polite behavior on SQL forums. What you did post is useless! Can you program from it? Neither can we. And we have to do all the extra typing for you.
    CREATE TABLE Foo
    (base_something  CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
     something_letter CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
     PRIMARY KEY (base_something, something_letter));
    INSERT INTO Foo
    VALUES ('A', 'A'),
    ('A', 'B'),
    ('A', 'C'),
    ('B', 'A'),
    ('B', 'B');
    CREATE TABLE Bar
    (CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
     something_digit CHAR(1) NOT NULL,
     PRIMARY KEY (base_something, something_digit));
    INSERT INTO Foo
    VALUES ('A', '1'),
    ('A', '2'),

    This looks like you are taking two decks of punch cards and merging them together, without any logical rules, just physical position in their decks relative to the base_something groups.
    WITH Foo_Deck
    AS
    (SELECT base_something, something_letter,
           ROW_NUMBER()
            OVER (PARTITION BY base_something
                   ORDER BY something_letter) AS card),
    Bar_Deck
    AS
    (SELECT base_something, something_digit,
           ROW_NUMBER()
            OVER (PARTITION BY base_something
                   ORDER BY something_digit) AS card),
    SELECT F.base_something, F.something_digit, B.something_letter
      FROM Foo_Deck AS F
           LEFT OUTER JOIN
           Bar_Deck AS B
           ON B.base_something = F.base_something
              AND B.card = F.card;
