How to separate a cell in 2 rows/columns in Numbers 3.0.1

In Numbers '09, it was possible to divide cells into 2 rows or 2 columns (just by right-click on the cell).
But I can't find this feature in the new Numbers 3.0.1 ... Is it gone ?
Thanks

This was called "split cells". There are several threads here on that subject. The feature was removed. We don't know if it will be brought back or not.

How to exclude a cell from a row in Report Painter

Hello,
In report painter, I am calculating a percentage of a row within a separate row. Is there a way to only calculate this percentage in certain cells within the row? The row defaults to calculate the entire population but it is only necessary for a few cells.
Thanks,
Megan

It is possible to reference SSRS elements directly using the ReportItems collection. If your total tablix cell is outside of yoour matrix groups, you can use this collection to accomplish what you want:
=ReportItems!Matrix1Total.Value + ReportItems!Matrix2Total.Value
where Matrix1Total and Matrix2Total is the name of the cell that contains your totals. Note that for this to work, the cell name must be unique. If the total cell is inside a group, it will be repeated once for each instance of the group and will not be
unique.
You may be able to do it using the Sum aggregate and specifying the dataset for the scope variable:
=Sum(Fields!fld1.Value, "DataSet1")+Sum(Fields!fld2.Value,
"DataSet1")+Sum(Fields!fld3.Value,
"DataSet1")+Sum(Fields!fld4.Value,
"DataSet1")+Sum(Fields!fld5.Value,
"DataSet1")+Sum(Fields!fld1.Value,
"DataSet2")+Sum(Fields!fld2.Value,
"DataSet2")+Sum(Fields!fld3.Value,
"DataSet2")+Sum(Fields!fld4.Value,
"DataSet2")+Sum(Fields!fld5.Value,
"DataSet2")
This will work as long as you are not filtering the dataset in your Matrix properties. If you are, those
filters will not apply to this expression and the numbers will not total correctly.

How to insert data to the specified row column of the multi column list box

Hi All
How do i insert data into the specified column of the multi cplumn list box?
I have a table that containsall station nos and name.Then another table contains the data the various stations having at for 24 hrs.That is 12 am to 11 pm.
And i want to display each stations details as follows using a multi column list box/table
My stationinfo table
stnno   stnname......................
s1           stn1
s2            stn2
s3             stn3
The other table
stnno      sysdatetime       data
s1             12am                   1
s2              12am                   4
s1               1 am                 2
So the station s1,s2.... will have data for 24 hrs.
And i want to display it as follows using a multicolumn listbox
stnname        12am   1 am ......................................11pm
s1                   ...................
s2                 ........................
What i have in my mind is to get all station nos
and in a for loop get the station's data from 12 am to 11 pm
or
select every statios data for each hor.But in this case i have to query the database 24 times.So i dont think its a good way.
Or any other better query available?
Can anybody suggest me a good idea?
One more thing...how to insert data into the specified field row or column of a multi column list box?
Thanks in advance

Here are 40000 points (x,y) on the wafer, how to arrange them into the right row/column, in order to form wafer map?

Hello all friends,
I want to arrange all these phisical points into a logical map, but how many rows and column are not known in advance, we just know:
1. seperation can be given, for example stepX(width) =390.7，StepY(heigh) =318.8
2. some of the points' posX and posY are scaned several times, so deleting redundant data needed.
What's the method to solve this problem?

Thanks very much,

Thanks Johnsol,Stevem181 ,GerdW:
display using intensity chart with 2D array data source can be realized, there are some topics discussing about it. For example, from Stevem181(thread here), and GerdW (thread here).
And, thanks GerdW again, I use the map image from his post, everybody can goto that thread for detailed. .
but, I think the diffcult may be the classfication of the data. The question is like this, let me give an example: Throwing a handfull of beans on the desktop, under this condition without anyother infomation supported, how to segment them in to the best suitable row/coulmn?
for example this is the case:
here is classfication 1:
and here is the classfication 2:
In these two arrangement surely we think 1th is more suitable than 2th,
for there are too many empty cells in 2th , indicated by blue color::

Start with more rows/columns in Numbers?

How can I have the blank numbers template automatically start with more rows and columns? Currently for a new document, it defaults to 22 rows and 9 columns. I would like to start each document with more of each.

Hi reese,
Open the blank inbuilt template, add rows and columns to suit, then Save As Template. That will appear under My Templates in the Template Chooser. To automatically start with that custom template,
Numbers > Preferences > General > for New Documents
BTW, if you have that preference set, File > New (command n) will also open that custom template.
Also, New From Template Chooser will disappear from the File Menu. To use Template Chooser, hold down the option key when accessing the File Menu.
Regards,
Ian.

How can I copy and then insert a column in Numbers 09

I have a column in a Table that I would like to copy and then insert this column into another existing table on the same sheet. I don't want to copy and paste this, but rather insert it between existing columns.
Thanks
Eric

Thanks SG,
I have reverted back to 09' because of the nonexistant functionality of 3.0. I tried the option method you mentioned and it doesn't seem to work in 09'. Have you tried it in this version.
Eric
PS 3.0 has beautiful interface, perhaps they will add some functionality someday.

How to get the selected rows & columns in the table?

hi everybody,
In my application the table is kept inside the event structure.I select the cells in the table (using mouse) on running time.How to get the selected number of rows & columns in that table?

Hello,
You can fill selected values of the table by writing to it or the corresponding property using a property node - the table is just a 2D array of strings. I think for your "disable" question you are referring to the shortcut menu (when you right click). If you are using LabVIEW 8.x, you can edit or disable that shortcut menu - just right click on your table at edit time and choose Advanced >> Run-Time Shortcut Menu.

Compare two cells in a row and group of rows

Tuesdays 1st 2nd 3rd 4th 5th MB
Jan 4, 2011 7 14 21 28 36 32
Jan 11, 2011 5 15 25 28 38 16
Jan 18, 2011 2 17 25 28 38 25
Okay, say the above is my table, how do I compare two cells in a row for two numbers? Say I wanted to find out if row A2 contained a 7 and a 28?
I thought an IF formula might do it, but can't figure it out.
Thanks in advance!

"A2" is an address for a single cell, not a row. Its current content, assuming no empty rows above or empty columns left of what's shown, is "Jan 4, 2011". Perhaps you mean Row 2, or the range B2:G2.
Assuming that you want to know 'if' (or 'how many times') two specific numbers occur in the range of cells from column B to column G in a single row, COUNTIF is the function you want.
Place the two target numbers into cell I1 and J1.
Enter the formula below into I2:
=COUNTIF($B2:$G2,I$1)
Fill the formula right into J2, then fill both down to row 4.
You'll get a count of the occurrences of each number.
If you want only a "Yes" (both numbers appear in the range) or "No" (neither of the numbers appear, or one appears but not the other), use this variation (in I2 or J2):
=IF(AND(COUNTIF($B2:$G2,I$1)>0,COUNTIF($B2:$G2,J$1)>0),"Yes","No")

How do I select the end of a row or column in Numbers?

I am trying to select to the end of a column in Numbers. In Excel, I simply hold down the shift+command+arrow keys and I can select the entire row or column int he arrow direction. How do I do this in Numbers?

Here two other scripts :
Select-to-top and select-to-left.
Both of them take care of possible headers.
--{code}
--[SCRIPT select-to-top]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : select-to-top.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Utilisateurs:<votreCompte>:Bibliothèque:Scripts:Applications :Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner une ou plusieurs cellules d'une ligne dans une table de Numbers
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “select-to-top”
Il étendra la sélection jusqu'à la première ligne standard de la colonne (ne sélectionne pas les rangs d’en tête).
Bien entendu, ce script sera plus intéressant si vous le dotez d'un raccourci clavier à l’aide, par exemple, de FastScripts.
--=====
L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript
puis cocher la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre des menus”.
--=====
Save the script as a Script: select-to-top.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select one or several cells in a row of a Numbers table.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “select-to-top”
It will expand the selection to the first standard row of the table (minus header rows).
Of course, it would be more useful if you attach a shortcut thanks to a tool like FastScripts.
--=====
The Finder’s Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the “Show Script Menu in menu bar” checkbox.
Under 10.6.x,
go to the General panel of AppleScript Editor’s Preferences dialog box
and check the “Show Script menu in menu bar” option.

Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner une ou plusieurs cellules d'une colonne dans une table de Numbers
Aller au menu Scripts , choisir Numbers puis choisir “select-to-left”
Il étendra la sélection jusqu'à la première colonne standard de la table (ne sélectionne pas les colonnes d’en tête).
Bien entendu, ce script sera plus intéressant si vous le dotez d'un raccourci clavier à l’aide, par exemple, de FastScripts.

L’aide du Finder explique:
L’Utilitaire AppleScript permet d’activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l’Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case “Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus”.
Sous 10.6.x,
aller dans le panneau “Général” du dialogue Préférences de l’Éditeur Applescript

Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select one or several cells in a column of a Numbers table.
Go to the Scripts Menu, choose Numbers, then choose “select-to-left”
It will expand the selection to the first standard colomn of the table (minus fheader columns).
Of course, it would be more useful if you attach a shortcut thanks to a tool like FastScripts.

Adding Cell in a row in Smart Form

Hi All,
Can anybody please tell how to add a cell in the row of a table in smart forms.
Thanks

Hi,
Select the table, so that you can see the table painter. In that press the Details tab. You'll get the cell's width details. If you want to add an cell, then enter it's width for it. Also, note that the accumulation of all the cells width in a row should match with that of the Table.
Regards,
Hema.

Merging cells in a row...

I'd like to be able to turn the first table into the second. I see that there is a cell merge, but I can't seem to figure out the syntax.
Thanks in advance for your help.

rowCellCount is simply either rows.cells.length or rows.columns.length -- without trying, I think the first gives the actual count of cells in a row (merged or not), and the second the original number of columns.
To merge, use http://jongware.mit.edu/idcs5js/pc_Cell.html#merge like this:
table = app.selection[0];
if (table.hasOwnProperty("baseline")) table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Cell) table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Column) table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Row) table = table.parent;
if (table instanceof Table)
table.rows[0].cells[0].merge (table.rows[0].cells[1]);
.. the first 6 lines are to make sure the script knows where it is. This way, it will work with the text cursor inside a cell (every text object has a "baseline" property; I think it's a trick I learned from Dave Saunders), or with a cell, column, row, or the entire table selected. After locating the table, it's just a matter of following the description of "Cells: Merge".
Oh wait, now I have a table, 3 cells per row and the first 2 cells merged, to test my first assertion on. Running this
alert (table.rows[0].cells.length);
alert (table.rows[0].columns.length);
alert (table.rows[1].cells.length);
alert (table.rows[1].columns.length);
alerts "2", "3", "3" and "3", just as I thought.

Add a Drop down menu / Combo Box into a specified cell of a multi column lsit box

Hello,
i have a question how to manipulate a cell of a multi column list box in that way that i can add a drop down menu or a combo box in this cell?
Is this possible in LabView?
Thank you!

Wow, I took a look at the alternate code posted here at that really takes you through gyration (also a similiar comment I see on Lava) to perform what I've done with a few functions....
See the Pics and attached VI for how its done. KISS, I added an event stucture and changed my first enum case to " " (i.e. a blank) to make it look like the other posted code....

How do I apply a calculation to row of cells

Hi.
I'm using iwork '08 and can't find a way to add a value to row of cells, as per the Calculate menu in Appleworks. I'm trying to update a calendar from the previous year by adding a value of 1 or 2 to the numbers in all the cells so that last year's June 24 becomes this year's June 25. Does Numbers have a way of doing this?

Hi Barry,
Wow! Your responses to my problem makes a lot more sense when I can see the graphics you sent with them. Not sure what I was looking at, but it didn't contain the screenshots. Below is a representation of what I'm trying to accomplish. (Sorry, but I don't know how to provide a screenshot of the actual doc in this post.)
Screenshots are taken using shift-command-4, then dragging the crosshair cursor to enclose the part of the screen you want to copy. The file is copied to your desktop as a PNG (portable network graphics) file named Picture 1 (with numbers ranging from 1 to 10), which you can then go to the finder and rename.
Upload the file to a picture storage site (there are many free ones on the 'net) and store it in an album there. For most sites, clicking on your image (or just moving the pointer over it) will give a list of codes to paste into a message to call that image.
Use the one labeled HMTL. Copy the code, then paste it into your message.
You can see an example of the code used by clicking Reply on any message here showing an image, then clicking the quote button ( ” ) to see the text and HTML codes in the message itself. (Click the discard and Cancel button below the message space if you don't actually want to reply to that message.)
Hope the formatting doesn't completely go away when you get this.
It does, pretty much. The forum software parses out multiple spaces. Still readable if the reader has an idea what it should look like, and more readable using the technique described above for seeing HTML codes in a message.
Anyway I can't get the DATE or DAY functions to track properly between cells, because the DAY function converts text into a number,
DAY() does absolutely nothing with text, except return an error message:
"DAY requires a date but found a string instead."
A cell containing a Date and Time value may be formatted to show only the date portion in any of the following forms:
No matter which of those is visible in the cell, the cell does NOT contain a text string and does NOT contain a number. The cell contains a Date and Time value in which the Date portion is the value for the ninth day of February in the 2006th year of the common era.
and the DATE function converts a date into a number, and the the two functions don't play nice with each other.
Actually DATE works in the opposite direction. It constructs a date from three separate numbers.
The syntax is DATE(year,month,day)
DATE(2006,2.9) will construct the Date and Time value for February 9, 2006 and set the time value to 0:00:00 (midnight). Depending on the format set for the cell containing the function, the date will display in one of the forms shown in the list above.
Once the DAY function converts a date into a plain number, it won't reset after 30 and 31. In fact it seems to treat any reference to that cell as a one.
DAY does return a (plain) number in the range 1-31. If you add 1 to that +number+, you'll get a number in the range 2-32. If you add 1 to the +date+ that DAY extracted that number from, you'll get a number in the range 2-31, or if the new date is in the next month, you'll get the number 1.
Now that I've seen the graphics that were supposed to come with your posts, it looks like the answer may be a set of reference cells in another table that I can hide from view in the printed form of my chart.
There's no need for a second table just to get the day numbers in your example. You may need a LOOKUP table to convert the 1s to the shortened name of the current month, though, and that LOOKUP table can be placed on a second table.
Here's my take on the problem as currently described. Description below.
Column A contains the starting date in Cell A1. The format is set to display this date including the name of the weekday to ensure the calendar starts on a Monday. (Necessary because the weekday labels in row 2 are entered text, not constructed from the date information being placed on the calendar.)
A5, and every 4th row after contains a formula that adds 7 to the date in the cell four rows above.
=$A1+7
B1 contains a formula that extracts the DAY (of the month) from the date in A1, plus a calculation that allows it to increment the date when filled into the columns to the right.
=DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)
The desire to replace "1" in C1 with "Jun" (the shortened name of the new month) makes the formula a bit more complicated:
=IF(condition,TRUE: do this,FALSE:do this)
=IF(DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)=1,LOOKUP(MONTH($A1+COLUMN()-2),Month Lookup :: $A$1:$A$12,Month Lookup :: $B$1:$B$12),DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2))
condition: DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)=1
as above, the formula extracts the (adjusted) day number from the date in A1, then compares it with the number 1.
If they're equal the comparison evaluates as TRUE, and the formula does this part:
LOOKUP(MONTH($A1+COLUMN()-2),Month Lookup :: $A$1:$A$12,Month Lookup :: $B$1:$B$12)
MONTH() returns the number of the month of the adjusted date in A1, then looks up that value (6) in column A of the table Month Lookup, and returns the corresponding text string ("Jun") from column B of that table.
If the day number is not equal to 1, the comparison evaluates as FALSE, and the fomula does the last part:
DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)
and returns the day number of the (adjusted) date.
Constructing the tables:
Month Lookup table
Enter 1 in A1 and 2 in A2.
Select both cells and drag the coltrol down to fill to row 12.
Enter Jan in B1
Select B1 and drag the control down to fill ro row 12 (Dec)
Calendar table
Enter a starting date in A1.
Enter
=IF(DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2)=1,LOOKUP(MONTH($A1+COLUMN()-2),Month Lookup :: $A$1:$A$12,Month Lookup :: $B$1:$B$12),DAY($A1+COLUMN()-2))
in B1.
Select B1 and drag the fill control right to fill B1:H1
(See optional formatting below for adding colour to month names)
Select B1:H1 and Copy
Select B5 and Paste.
Enter
=A1+7
in A5.
Select A2:H5 (as shown in graphic above)
Drag the control down as many rows as you need.
Optional formatting
The red month names on yellow backgrounds are created using Conditional formatting for the seven cells B1:H1 (and similar cells further down the table).
If you choose to do this, it's best to do so where "See optional formatting..." is placed in the instructions.
Select B1:L1
In the Format bar above the tables, set the Text colour to red and the Fill colour to yellow. (This will change the colours in all cells in the row.)
Open the Inspector and click the Cell Format button.
Click the Conditional Format checkbox to check it. Click Show Rules.
From the Choose a Rule popup, choose "Less than or Equal to" and enter 31 in the box that appears.
Choose Black for the conditional text colour and white for the conditional fill colour.
Continue with the instructions for Constructing the Tables.
Regards,
Barry
