Import a Zip Code Field Into Numbers

I'm sure this has been asked before, but I've done a couple of searches and can't find the answer.
I often need to import a list of addresses into a spreadsheet for cleaning up. In Excel, when I do this, I "open" a text file and get the "import wizard." I can then format the zip code field as a text field and retain any leading zeros (e.g., 00678 is not converted to the number 678).
How can I do this in Numbers?

What if the data is of varying lengths? I data with 10, 12 or 13 digit numbers that sometimes have leading zeros. I can't open csv files into Numbers because it deletes the zeros and there is not standard length to the data.
It's certainly not the reason explaining that you can't open the Numbers generated csv files.
Numbers put a delimiter between values so their length is meaningless.
The problem may be the value of the delimiter.
As I wrote MANY times, if the decimal separator used by the running operating system is period, Numbers use comma as values delimiter.
If the decimal separator is comma, Numbers use the semi-colon as values separator.

Import Text From Form Field into Subject Line of Email

Hello,
Is there a way to import text from a form field into the subject line of the email when sending back (attaching) the PDF form? In other words, there is an "applicant name" and I would like that name to be the subject line of the email.
I am using Adobe Acrobat X (10.1.7)
If any one has aby guidance or resources online where I can locate this information I would greatly appreciate it! I have been searching all day but have not found a solution yet.
Thanks!

Thank you so much for the help. For some reason I cannot get it to work though. Now, when I hit the submit button it does not do anything.
Previously, I had the following code under
ACTIONS>Mouse Up>Submit a Form
mailto:[email protected]?subject=Employee Application
I removed the above mailto URL and put in your code as a Javascript function. I made sure that my field name matched the name in quotes within the code.
I used the following:
var subject = getField("lastname").value
this.mailDoc({
bUI: false,
cTo: "[email protected]",
cSubject: subject,
cMsg: "Type message here"
Do you see anything obvious that I am doing wrong?
Many thanks!

Can't import data-only Excel doc into Numbers 2013

This is a disaster.
I just downloaded two .xlsx Excel documents, and attempted to open them in the new (2013) Numbers.
These were the simplest possible documents. 101 rows, 17 colmns, no header/side labels. I don't think it included any calculations at all. My coworker used Excel simply to format her data as a table.
The imported Excel table is almost completely blank. A column of dates, and a couple of columns of literal numbers survived. It lost all of the text. I'm sure the column widths were lost. If you try to edit a cell, the editing bar at the bottom does nothing; it has no content, it does not respond to keys or clicks, it stays blank and unresponsive when you select a cell. If you type an = in a cell, there is no expression builder, and clicking in other cells to add them to a calculation merely changes the selection to those cells.
In iWork 2009, the apps posted a notice when they couldn't make a 100% faithful import — and in my usage, those were for missing fonts, not absent functionality. No such notice here.
My question:
Is there any way I can read at least a spreadsheet that makes no use of Excel features?
Further remark, but not a question
I had heard that the days were gone when people had to install Office because that's what they use at work. I managed to get away without using Office from 1989 to this day. I think it's ironic that at the moment Microsoft lost its lock on productivity tools, I am now forced to install Office.

Forgive me, this is not practical advice.
I installed Numbers 3. From the Mac App Store, there being no other way. As is its practice, MAS, wipes out every trace of previous versions of the software it replaces. Numbers 2.3 simply does not exist on my machine.
Yes, I have Time Machine backups. Have you tried drag-installing iWorks applications? They will not run. They rely on system-level frameworks that I am not confident I can dig out of Time Machine.
No, I do not have my original distribution media for iWorks. I bought iWorks nearly six years ago, when computers still had optical drives. It happens I have a couple of 3.5" floppies from the first developer-tools releases in 1984, but those are relics. I don't have the DVD (or CD?).
If I did have the DVD, it would not contain version 2.3. 2.3 came from an Apple update I downloaded from the support site five years ago. I challenge you to give me a live URL for that updater.
P.S. Perhaps I am oversensitive, but I think the implication is gratuitous, that only a fancy-pants rocket scientist would want to import a spreadsheet that contains 100 lines of dates, text, and numbers in 17 columns.
When one double-clicks an .xlsx file, Numbers opens it. Import of Excel files is not an advanced future direction. It is an intended function of the application today. Numbers responds to double-clicking .xlsx files today. If it were not an intended function, it would not attempt to open the file; or at least it would post some kind of alert that the operation is not yet implemented.

Importing Excel or CSV fields into PDF

WANT: to import bank activity from website into Numbers

On my grandson's iMac with Snow Leopard I am able to copy data from our bank's website for our checking account and paste the data directly into a blank Numbers template.
The data pastes in perfectly -- all the information neatly shown in columns and rows.
In my PPC computer with Leopard (10.5.8) I can't do this.
The data comes in "squashed" into one column.
I've tried all types of ways to copy and paste -- with the same result.
Any suggestions as to why this procedure works with Snow Leopard and not with Leopard?
Thanks,
Danty

Hi Danty,
The issue probably has more to do with Safari than with Numbers or with Leopard/Snow Leopard.
Apparently the version of Safari included with Leopard interprets data in tables as a set of tab delimited text values, a format that will paste directly into most spreadsheets. Earlier Safari versions interpreted tabular data on the web as being separated by spaces, with the rows/records being separated by returns. Pasted into a spreadsheet, the returns are recognized as row separators, but there's nothing in the copied data to indicate where the column separation occurs, so everything winds up in one column.
On the PPC machine, you might try Firefox, which according to what I've read, does a better job with this king of data, in place of Safari.
A second possibility is to use a script developed by Yvan Koenig to perform this task. Yvan is usually around these parts each day, and can tell you whether the script would likely work in this case, and let you know where to find it.

How can I prevent commas from being entered in the zip code field?

I tried entering the following validation on the Bill To Address field but it did not work. Not sure if it's because the address fields are grouped together.
NOT(InStr([<PrimaryBillToPostalCode>], ',') > 0 AND [<PrimaryBillToCountry>] = 'USA')

The Billing and Shipping fields are links to the address records in the adress table. Validation will not work on them. The only avenue that I can find to try to accomplish this would be to have workflow that monitors the address fields and takes action accordingly. That workflow can always set the Country to USA and it could also update the Address field or whatever field you are monitoring for commas.
Good Luck,
Thom

Is there a way to import real-time stock info into Numbers?

Importing SUMPRODUCT formula from XL into Numbers

Hello all,
I am having some challenges converting a SUMPRODUCT function from Excel/LibreOffice. After browsing the support postings, it seemed as if rewriting the formula as a COUNTIF(S) or SUMIF(S) function could get the job done, but I haven't met with success going those routes.
The file I'm working with is difficult for me to explain, so I have posted a small example here:
https://www.iwork.com/document/?d=Reso_book.numbers&a=p205658906
The basic application of the file is a reservation book; the formulas in question are in cells D5-L13 on the Availability sheet. They are still in their original, non-Numbers syntax.
The Availability sheet would effectively look up a table number from the Reservation sheet and return "1" if booked, "0" if not, or "-1" if doubled.
In the posted file, D5-G5 would return 1, while H5-L5 would return 0.
If anyone would be willing to take a look, I'd greatly appreciate any advice or insight for how to rework these formulas.

I never use excel but something seems to be wrong in your original formula.
=1-SUMPRODUCT((Reservation::Table 1::$D$2:$D$10<=D$4)*(Reservation::Table 1::$E$2:$E$10>=D$4)*(Reservation::Table 1::$F$2:$F$10=$B5))
Given what I read in several pages found thru Google, the last component of your formula :
(Reservation::Table 1::$F$2:$F$10=$B5)
must not be a condition
In fact, the embedded condition appears as dropped by the formula parser.
When I reproduced you document in LibreOffice, removing the component =$B5 in the last component changes nothing.
So I built the Numbers document without it (Table YK).
In the edited table, the formula in D5 is :
=1-SUMIFS((Reservation::Table 1::$F$2:$F$10),Reservation::Table 1::$D$2:$D$10,"<="&D$4,Reservation::Table 1::$E$2:$E$10,">="&D$4)
Apply FillDown then Fill_to_right.
I'm not sure that it's what you need but it return the same values than the originla ones in LibreOffice.

FI-AP (vendor master group, Zip code required field)

Hello SAP Guru's,
I am working on Vendor master data groups and my client asked me to make the zip code field mandatory. When i go to "define account groups with screen layout- vendor name-general data- address, i don't see a tab for Zip code to make it a required field. However, i checked Postal code, city field and make it into a required field. Is zip code = Postal code, city? or do i have to contact other programmers so they can design this functionality in SAP?

Dear,
yes, I also confirm You that the Zip code is the Postal code.
So please go to IMG --> Define Account Groups with Screen Layout (Vendors)
and for Your Account Group do the following setting:
double click on General data --> double click on Address
and define as Required entry the field Postal code, city technical names:
City LFA1-ORT01
Postal Code LFA1-PSTLZ
I hope this helps You.

Is there a way to import a .csv file into Numbers?

Can I import a .csv file into Numbers?

Yes, you can import csv (character-separated-values) into Numbers.
If the csv file is comma-separated, then in Numbers you can try File > Open and navigate to the file and open it.
If you don't get the results you want, then try this CSV to Tabs on Clipboard Automator Service (Dropbox download) instead.
To install, double-click the .workflow package and, if necessary, click 'Open Anyway' in System Preferences > Security & Privacy.
Thereafter to use:
In Finder (not Numbers) navigate to the .csv file.
Right-click on the file and choose 'CSV to Tabs on Clipboard' under Services in the contextual menu.
Follow the prompts (trying different separators if needed).
Click once in a Numbers cell.
Command-v to paste. The Numbers table will expand automatically as needed.
These steps are quicker and easier than they sound. Just a few clicks and a keyboard entry.

Pass URL parameter for zip code

In this fake url I want to pass the zip code value of the confirmed BP into "zipcode"
https://acme.com/locator.jsp?zip=zipcode
from the other post I have read the parameter name would be "zipcode" and thru the transaction launcher I am able to assign parameter value =
//selectedClmBpLinkRelationship/BpRelLinkBusinessPartner/BuilStandardAddressRel/POSTL_COD1
The transaction launcher is opening the launcher but not passing the value into the field. The window opens but the field is not filled with the zip code.
If I open a new ie browser and put in url
https://acme.com/locator.jsp?zip=60001
the url is reached and 60001 is filling the zip code field.
Is there an easy way to debug and see if any value is getting passed?
Am I conceptually on base for what I am trying to do?

Hi Shwetha,
That got me pointed in the right direction where we could get it to work.
For others, these were some other points we used to get it to work.
1. in the IMG where the url is defined don't add the ZIP parameter here so our IMG entry = https://acme.com/locator.jsp?
when the page launched correctly the parameters showed https://acme.com/locator.jsp?&zipcode=60001
2. for zip code parameter value we used //currentCustomer/BuilStandardAddressRel/POSTL_COD1 >> this goes in the transaction launcher with parameter zipcode and is then visible in the IMG entry "copy/delete launch transactions"

IT 0021 zip code error?

HI experts,
I am getting the below error message while saving IT 0021 where few field are coming from IT 0106. If you click the link below, you can see the ones in the middle which start with SSN number. This error comes only when you don't enter the zip code. I went tot T588M and made the zip code field optional under MP010600-PSTLZ. but its not working . what could be the problem. This is a critical issue. so I need to fix it the soonest possible.

Thanks a ton.
JEss..

In this case, the message is hard-coded
*&      Module CHECK_ADDRESSE INPUT
MODULE CHECK_ADDRESSE INPUT.
IF Q0106-STRAS CO '0 '.
    ERROR_ADDR = YES.
ENDIF.
IF Q0106-ORT01 CO '0 '.
    ERROR_ADDR = YES.
ENDIF.
IF Q0106-PSTLZ CO '0 '.
    ERROR_ADDR = YES.
ENDIF.
IF Q0106-LAND1 CO '0 '.
    ERROR_ADDR = YES.
ENDIF.
IF ERROR_ADDR EQ YES.
    ERROR_ADDR = NO.
    MESSAGE E013(5R).
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.                             " CHECK_ADDRESSE INPUT
So, it doesn't matter if the fields are optional in T588M, by coding the fields will be obligatory if any of the adress fields are filled. So, my guess is that without some coding, either by enhancement or changing sap standard, isn't possible.

Import data into Numbers from web?

Is there a way to import data from the internet directly into Numbers without programming/writing an applescript or using a different program?
Can you do this while using only Numbers and the web?

And how is Numbers to know how to extract the exact data you want from an external source, unless that source is in a format familiar to Numbers, which HTML isn't? For an automated process like this, you will need scripting, and that means learning to program/understand scripts.
For example, here's some HTML code from a web page that includes volume data for one symbol:
<td class="mbi_left" align="left" width="35%">BM&FBOVESPA SA</td><td align="right" width="10%">12.37</td><td align="right" width="10%">0.22</td><td align="right" width="10%">1.81</td><td align="right" width="20%">11,611,700</td><td align="right" width="15%">09/18</td>
Numbers can't interpret this without being told exactly what to extract. Also, Numbers doesn't go out to the web on its own at fixed intervals (as I suspect you may want) without a program telling it what to do. This is just a spreadsheet after all.
