I want to simply multiply 2 adjacent cells using Numbers

I'm new to numbers. I've discovered how to add up columns, but cannot for the life of me work out how multiply 2 adjacent cells.
All i want to do is multiply cell C33 by cell D33 and get the answer in cell E33.
I know that the multiplication key is *
Thanks for your help

How to find multiple keys in single cell using Numbers?

I'm trying to add functionality to one of my Numbers tables where want to check a single cell for multiple keywords from a list. The hole thing works perfectly fine in Excel but it behaves differently in Numbers.
The formula I am using is:
=IF(ISERROR(LOOKUP(2^15;FIND($E$2:$E$11;A2)));"not found";"found")
The following screenshots show that it correctly finds the keys in the cell when using Excel but not in Numbers. Although, it seems to work if the key is in the same row as the input cell.

Would be really happy if somebody knows how I could accomplish that!

If you are working in Numbers you can do this efficiently with a small AppleScript without going back to Excel or clone. One click and you get the following result:
This script works with Numbers 2.3, which your screenshot suggests you are using. If you are using Numbers 3 it needs a very small adjustment.
This is the script:
--https://discussions.apple.com/thread/6315365?tstart=30
property inputCol : 1 --> col A, as in example
property resultCol : 3 --> col C, as in example
property keysCol : 5 --> col E, as in example
property targDoc : 1 --> 1 is front document; can change to "MyDocName"
property targSheet : 1 --> 1 is first sheet; can change to "MySheetName"
property targTable : 1 --> 1 is first table; can change to "MyTableName"
tell application "Numbers"
          set t to document targDoc's sheet targSheet's table targTable
          set keysList to t's column keysCol's cells's value
          repeat with i from 2 to t's row count -- assumes 1 Header Row
                    set inputVal to t's row i's cell inputCol's value
                    if inputVal is not 0 then --skip blank cells; Numbers 2 reads blanks as 0
                              --check if Input matches a key:
                              if inputVal is in keysList then
                                        set t's row i's cell resultCol's value to "found"
                              else
                                        set t's row i's cell resultCol's value to "not found"
                              end if
                              --check if Input contains a key:
                              repeat with aKey in keysList
                                        if inputVal contains aKey then set t's row i's cell resultCol's value to "found"
                              end repeat
                    end if
          end repeat
end tell
--end of script
To run, copy into AppleScript Editor, change the properties if needed, and click the green triangle 'Run' botton.

Cannot Autofill sequential content into adjacent cells in Numbers

Numbers V3.2 for OSX
Problem #1:
I cannot Autofill sequential content into adjacent cells. I enter Jan., Feb. into the first two cells, then try to use the little yellow ball to project Mar., Apr., etc. into the adjacent cells. I'm new to Numbers, so maybe I'm missing something. I've used Excel for over 25 years, and I'm now trying to convert to Numbers.
Problem #2:
How do you link a cell from one spreedsheet to a second spreedsheet? I read all of the Help files and can't find a reference.
Thanks for your help!

HI Paul,
"I found that one of my problems is that I abbreviated the month, i.e., Jan."
If you include a period after Jan, Numbers will not recognize it as a shortened month name. use "Jan" (without the quotes).
Regarding linking cells:
If by "spreadsheets" you mean "Tables in the same document," cells in those two locations can be linked. In the simplest case (two tables on th same Sheet, or two tables, each with a name unique within the document, on separate Sheets, the Table name must be added to the cell reference.
Example: formula in a cell on table named "This" referencing cell B2 on a table named "That" located elsewhere in the same document:
=That::B2
If the second table is in a different document, no. Numbers cannot reference external documents.
If this is a significant issue, Provide Numbers Feedback, using the item of that name in the Numbers menu, to make a feature request for a future version of Numbers.

Barry

How do I select multiple, non-adjacent, cells in Numbers?

I have a spreadsheet that I need to select multiple non-adjacent cells for the purposes of highlighting them and I can't figure out how to do it. The Excel equivilant would be highlight a cell and then click he desired cell while pressing cmd. This does not work nor do fn, ctrl or option. Is this possible and if so how can I do it?

K
It's apparently one of those many things that haven't been implemented in the iCloud beta. You'll be able to make that type of multiple selection if you spring for the OSX version of Numbers.

How can I insert an image into a cell in Numbers for iPad?

Hi,
is there any way to insert an image inside a cell using Numbers for iPad? I tried doing it on desktop version and it works, then I shared it through iwork.com and downloaded into my iPad and it's showing fine on the iPad ( although there's no way to edit or change the image inside the cell ) but when I try to do the same task on iPad itself, the image always comes floating even if I place the cursor inside a cell before inserting.
any idea how to do it or if it's even possible?
thanks.
John

Images can be added to cells only as "image fill." Cell fill is an attribute of the cell, not content of the cell. Only cell content can be retrieved by a formula or by copying the content of the cell.
Copying the cell will also copy its format, including the image fill, but I've found no way to extract the image from the cell.

Is there a formula I can use to link a choice from pop-up menu to a $ amount in adjacent cell? i.e. if Item 1 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $125. if Item 2 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $250.

is there a formula I can use to link a choice from pop-up menu to a $ amount in adjacent cell? i.e. if Item 1 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $125. if Item 2 is chosen, adjacent cell populates $250. it seems like this must be possible. Help please!

Hi Gabe,
You could use an IF statement in the second cell.
Popup in column B, two items: "This", That" (without the quotes)
Formula in same row of column C
Format the cell in column C as currency.
If there are more than two items in the popup menu, it's better to use a lookup table containing the same list as the popup in column A, with the corresponding values in column B:
C5: =LOOKUP(B,List :: $A,List :: $B)

HT5527 What I want to know is, can I use the on-line storage with iCould simply to back up files? I have not been able to figure out how to do this.

I want to know if I can use my iCould storage simply to back up files. If so, I have not been able to figure out how.

Currently, only Apple apps (Pages, Numbers, etc.) can back up
data to iCloud. There is no way to use it to just simply backup any files.
There are some workarounds to get some data stored.
PDFs and any other document that can be read by Preview
can be backed up in iCloud. Load the document into Preview,
select Export..., click on the directory dropdown, then select
iCloud as destination. Not a drag and drop solution or an
all encompassing method, but you can get some stuff saved.

How to paint a Custom Cell while you are editing on adjacent Cell in JTabl

Hi All,
I have two Columns in my Custom Table . Both Two Columns are Custom Cell Editors/Renderers.
I have made UI such that Column1 is Label , Column 2 is TextBox / Combo/ UI Input any
My Custom Table View when i edit some value against Max Conn. it should display Blue
=================================
Column A | Column B
==================================
Timeout | some_unchanged_value
*{color:#0000ff}Session{color}* | some_unchanged_value
Log File | some_unchanged_value
===================================
My issue is when i start typing in my Custom Editor suppose i Type /invoke Edtir of Index 2, Column 2 font should become Blue.
It becomes blue only when i debug this issue it perfectly works, without Debugger it doesnt changes the Font
MyDefaultRenderer is my Custom renderer - I have set Foregroud Color as BLUE
NOTE:_
In run method if table.repaint() instead of single renderer:
It turns Blue when i make call on table.repaint() methosd but i feel that repainting full table on every key Stroke should not be very good programming. Whats is more appropriate way?
I want to repaint only that particular cell against which i change the Value
    private class MyDefaultEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {
        private JTextField txtField = null;
        private int rowIndex;
        public MyDefaultEditor() {
            txtField = new JTextField();
            txtField.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
                @Override
                public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
                    super.keyTyped(e);
                    System.out.println("########### Hello This is MyDefaultEditor");
              SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                        public void run() {
                              // Call Renderer adjacentt to input to turn Blue (Is this Valid Code ??)
                            MyDefaultRenderer defRen = (MyDefaultRenderer) thisTable.getCellRenderer(activeRowIndex, 0);
                            defRen.paintMe();
          // table.repaint() works for me but i dont want to call it on evey ket type, that will be Heave rite???
        public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table,
                Object value, boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
            rowIndex = row;
            String valStr = "";
            if (value != null && value instanceof String) {
                valStr = value.toString();
            txtField.repaint();
            return txtField;
        public Object getCellEditorValue() {

Well, I think you need to add a custom renderer to the first column. The renderer would check if the table.isEditing(). If it is and the editing is done on the same row, then you set the font color blue, otherwise you use the default font color.
Then the next question is how do you repaint the cell. Well you can use the table.repaint(Rectangle) method. You can get the Rectangle to repaint by using the table.getCellRect(...) method.
Finally, you need to know when to repaint the cell. Well a PropertyChangeEvent is fired when a cell starts and stops editing. So you only need to handle these events. Don't use a KeyListener. The PropertyChangeListener you add to the table might be something like:
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent e)
     if ("tableCellEditor".equals(e.getPropertyName()))
          if (table.isEditing())
               processEditingStarted();
          else
               processEditingStopped();
}So when editing is started you need to determine the "adjacent" cell you want to repaint to the blue font is used. You would save the cell Rectangle so you can restore the font when editing is stopped.

I am attempting to have cells use data from a selective month from the year before so that I can show actual from the prio. years each month.

I am attempting to have cells use data from a selective month from the year before so that I can show actual from the prio. year each month. I need to create a spreedsheet using the the Acutlas from the year-to-date and from last year-to-date, but need to report each month.

Hi Tony,
Answering your question would be easier given a screen shot of the source table and one of what you want the summary table to look like.
Is the data you want for each month in a single cell o the source table, or does the summary table need to collect February's data (for example) from several cells and do some math with those numbers before presenting them on the summary table?

How do I add cells using a LEN, Indirect formula?

On a table called "Checkpoint" I have inserted the formula shown below in cell C3. It's purpose is to copy a value from a set of other tables (Day 1 - Day 31). On one of the "Day" tables is a cell e3 that contains the number 3. Using the formula shown below C3 shows the value 3. I now want the sum of 2 cells inserted into the formula, where e3(3)+g3(4) will equal 7 in C3.
C3=IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Day "&COLUMN()−3&"::e3"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Day "&COLUMN()−3&"::e3"))
I need to add g3 this formula so that the output will give the sum of ::e3+::g3. Both Cells are located on the same table.
When I tried the formula shown below I got error "The operator "+" expects a number, date or duration but found"."
C3=IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Day "&COLUMN()−3&"::e3")+("Day "&COLUMN()−3&"::g3"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Day "&COLUMN()−3&"::e3")+("Day "&COLUMN()−3&"::g3"))
What am I doing wrong?

Hello Wayne,
The cell I want to show the sum of e3 and g3 is in Checkpoint::E6 not C3 like stated erlier. E6 has a formula
=IF(LEN(INDIRECT("Day "&COLUMN()−3&"::e3"))<1,"",INDIRECT("Day "&COLUMN()−3&"::e3"))
that looks at data from several tables (Day 1 - Day 31(Days of the month)) and matches that data to a date and places the data in the appropriate cell in Checkpoint.
I want to combine the sum of 2 cells (Day 2::E3 and Day 2::G3) and place that data using a variation of the formula mentioned above.
The current formula will only retrieve the value from Day 2::E3.

POP3 & IMAP Email setup for both Wifi & Cell use separately...

Hello,
I was asked to post info about this by an iPhone support rep.
I initially had lots of trouble setting accounts for use with both my WiFi home and office networks and for use through the ATT cell network.
If you have a question as to how to setup email for both WiFi and Cell use, answer is you can't configure these manually and you don't want to...the phone does this automatically...and seamlessly. (you will NOT see the change in the advanced settings menu, this occurs internally, the settings appear the same)
The problem: Accounts changing settings automatically...when manually configuring two separate accounts with the same email address but trying to setup the outgoing settings for different ports...one for WiFi (your broadband server acct / port 587) and one for Cell (cwmx.com / port 25)...THIS WON'T WORK!! My WiFi configured email accounts would automatically switch to Cellular configured email accounts as long as they had the same email address. Even though I gave them different names, the phone looks at the "actual email address" and if they are the same it changes your configuration to match the other account (it does this by matching the account that was either ON or OFF first and as soon as you match the second account to that setting (either ON or OFF) the phone switches the settings to match the first account.
The Solution: (End of the Story first for those who have or are facing this problem): Be sure to setup the email accounts for use with your WiFi account first (and ONLY), as when you leave the WiFi area or turn off the WiFi setting the email account will automatically reconfigure itself for use with the ATT Cellular network...then the settings will switch back when you re-connect to the WiFi area(s). The settings that you will "SEE" are your setup for WiFi, this will not change even when using the Edge network (at least not what is displayed in the "advanced" menu). You will still see Port 587, even though the phone is changing setups internally and changes back once back on a WiFi network, you just don't see the changes.
*I hope this helps!*
(more details below for those who might be interested and _for those who may be trying to setup using COMCAST Broadband_)...
My issue began because I could not get my Comcast setup to work for outgoing email. So I was advised to setup for the Edge port settings by an iPhone support person from ATT...this was a huge error. Because I attempted to do this it actually kept the phone from smoothly converting settings as needed. I only discovered this after resolving the actual problem with my WiFi (Comcast Broadband settings) issue which was actually the setup that MUST HAVE a user ID and Password, at least when using a Comcast Broadband account. Unlike the rest of my XP and ME computers on my networks which do not require this info, the iPhone DOES.
Because I could not get outgoing mail to work with my broadband setup I attempted to setup two accounts for each email address...one for Cellular and one for WiFi for when I would figure out my problem...or for just sending email more quickly. This does not work as the conflict causes a nightmare. This is something the iPhone support folks should have explained but failed to do so, perhaps as they didn't know this?
Bottom line: Let the phone do the choosing...it works great and will avoid YOU wasting TWO DAYS and more than 12 hours on the phone with iPhone Support as I did. I eventually figured the port switching issues and solutions on my own through trial and error and luckily one bright iPhone support person advised me that he knew for sure that when using the iPhone with Comcast you must setup "outgoing settings" using an "ID" and "Password" which I was provided by Comcast in only a few minutes. I don't use their emial account but I setup one just for this purpose. Once done, my email accounts began working normally. Once I resolved the conflict issues listed above the phone now works great both WiFi and Cell.

fullspool,
Comcast offers an authenticating SMTP server that should work for you on WiFi and EDGE both.
The settings are linked in this Apple knowledge base article:
http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=306074
The Comcast link is:
http://www.comcast.net/help/faq/index.jsp?faq=Emailtop18913
From that link the settings are:
Your email address: [email protected]
The email server type (POP)
Incoming mail server: mail.comcast.net
Outgoing mail server: smtp.comcast.net
With SSL on for both incoming and outgoing.
Hope this helps,

Want to edit a JTable cell programatically

I am making use of JTable in my application. I want to start editing a cell at 5th column, prompt user to enter value, as soon as he checks the JCheckbox in the first Column. I have tried in various ways but failed to solve it. Can any one provide a solution for this.

Try something like this.
Note this is untested.
You mak not need the invokeLater.
JCheckBox xb = new JCheckBox("Check Box");
xb.addItemListener(new ItemListener() {
public void itemStateChanged(ItemEvent ae) {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
      public void run(){
        table.changeSelection(lastJTable.getSelectedRow(), 5, true, true);
        table.editCellAt(lastJTable.getSelectedRow(), 5);
        Component tec = table.getEditorComponent();
        if (tec!=null){tec.requestFocus();}
        // force filed to be selected
        try {((JTextComponent)tec).selectAll();}
