In Numbers, how can I cause one cell to automatically follow a running balance as it moves down a column?

I've developed a checkbook type spreadsheet in Numbers where the running balance moves down the column one row at a time for each check entry. I need to use that current running balance for additional calculations even though it changes rows for each entry. How do I cause the cell that is using this running balance to follow the current balance as it changes rows for each entry? Additional Information - the formula for the result in the running balance column does not display it's result until a check entry is made for that row.

Linking multiple tables in numbers, how can I sort one table and this follow through on subsequent tables in the document?

I am a teacher setting up a tracking system using Numbers for the first time. I have set up a summary sheet with puil information, some of which is "looked up" from other tables within the document. It is working brilliantly until we regrouped the pupils.
When i reorganise the students on the summary page I want the same order to follow on all subsequent tables.
However the pupil lists on all subsequent pages stay in the original order!
Hope this makes some kind of sense as I am about to throw macbook out of the window!

Dave,
I might use Match, Offset and Column in my expressions. There are many approaches to this
Match will tell you which row your person's data is in, and OFFSET will then take you to the row indicated by Match and the column indicated by COLUMN().
Let's say you want to access the data for Pupil A. Further assume that the string "Pupil A" is the content of Column A, essentially the title of the record.
MATCH(A, AF1 :: Table 1 :: A) will return the number of the Row in the source table where Pupil A is found.
INDEX(Main, MATCH($A, Main :: $A), COLUMN()) will get the content, in your case the checkbox status.
You are done if you are happy with displaying "TRUE" or "FALSE"
But if you want, you can substitute graphics, like this:
=IF(INDEX(Main, MATCH($A, Main :: $A), COLUMN()), "☑", "☐")

How can I make one cell search multiple other cells for a string of text and return whether or not the string appeared in the cells searched?

My document is above, if anyone wants to help this crazy teacher invent a better lesson planner.
Here's my predicament. The state in which I teach requires teachers to keep up with which of the Common Core State Standards (CCSS) their instruction is addressing and when the standards were addressed. I got the bright idea to do this through a spreadsheet in Numbers because our school is getting iPads this year, so it'd be pretty sweet to be able to assemble all of my lesson plans in one massive spreadsheet. On the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet, I've got a few weeks worth of lesson plans entered in. I'm planning on going in and using the drop-down menu next to each lesson plan to add all the CCSS on a per-day basis. This is simple enough, but here's where I run into a problem.
I want the "AP Standards" sheet to concatenate, in cells D3 through G76, the dates on which a standard was covered. What I need is some way for, say, Cell D3 to look at the table on the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet and concatenate the dates of every lesson which has the standard in column A (In this instance, RL.11-12.1). At the end of the day, the functionality I need is that I can enter my lessons and CCSS on the "AP Lesson Plans" sheet and go to the other sheet and see a summary of which standards have been addressed, when, and how often.
If that's as clear as mud, well, I teach literature, not technical writing, so my apologies. I'm more at home with Jonathan Swift than spreadsheets. I'll gladly help you help me if you'd let me know what you need to know. Oh, and to illustrate my knowledge level (just enough to be dangerous), I've left you the formula of my best stab at making cell D3 behave as desired. It's the gray box on the "AP Standards" sheet. Yikes.

Hi Arrdenet,
Congratulations on the nested IFs. I haven't tested that formula, but it is impressive. It will be very difficult to debug if it doesn't work, and I think it would make Numbers very slow.
Here is a different approach. After you enter all the CCSS, add another column with HLOOKUP.
Edit:
B2 (and Fill Down)
A2 (and Fill Down)
=IFERROR(HLOOKUP(A$1,C2:E2,1,0),"")
HLOOKUP looks for the value in A1 in all the CCSS columns.
IFERROR is to stop the error triangles appearing and returns "" (NULL) instead.
Then sort by column A.
Not a complete answer, but it might get you started.
Regards,
Ian.

In Numbers, how can I make a cell reference a constant in a formula?

This is a basic question, but I am not sure of the answer. I am trying to calculate a previous SUM that I have by a column. But when I calculate it, it keeps looking for data in the cells after the SUM that I already have.
In other words, how can I get a constant cells value into my equation?
Any help would be great!
(In excel, I could do it just by placing $ around my cell field. Like H23 would be $H23$. THanks!)

JJ,
Numbers works exactly like Excel in this regard. To change H23 from a reference that will change if the formula is moved to a fixed cell reference, make it $H$23.

Jerry

In Yosemite version of Numbers, how keyboard shortcut for "Merge Cells" can be created?

In Yosemite version of Numbers, how keyboard shortcut for "Merge Cells" can be created?

OK, I've been doing this since CS2 with no need for a script. To hide guides and show preview...
1) Go to 'Keyboard Shortcuts'
2) Go to 'Product Area - Tools'. Yes, you'd think it would be in Views! But the buttons for this is at the bottom of the Tool Bar.
3) Go to 'Commands: Toggle view setting between default and preview'
4) Click your cursor inside 'New Shortcut' and hit the key you want or type it in. I choose the unused F2 key
5) Click the 'Assign' button and you are set. Hit the key to switch back and forth.
As for your mouse Zoom, use Power Zoom as described above or just hold down the Alt/Option button in 'Hand' mode and use the scroll wheel to zoom in and out. Not one step but it works!
Now you won't miss Quark at all!

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)

In Firefox 4 how can I cause the date on downloaded files to be the current date? (Some are and some are not. In FF3 the dates were ALWAYS the current ones.)
== This happened ==
Every time Firefox opened
== I upgraded to Firefox 4 (beta)

Firefox 3.6.* and earlier set the downloaded file's modification time to the current time. In Firefox 4.0 the behavior has been changed, if a server returns a timestamp telling when the file was last modified (Last-Modified header), it is used instead.
You can revert to the previous behaviour by using the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/93121/ Download Timestamp] add-on.

Pages: How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns?

How can I sort one column of words and not have it affect the other columns? I have opened the inspector to the edit columns and rows under Table. It will sort the column, but then it changes the other colums as well. I know that if I use Numbers, it will work, but I want to know how to do the same thing in Pages.

Hi Peter,
Numbers sorts full rows on values in selected column(s). The technique for sorting a single column is essentially the same as Jerry is describing for Pages tables—separate the (data in the) column to be sorted, sort it, return it to the table.
In Numbers the actual column may be separated from the original table, sorted, then returned. In Pages, the data must be extracted, sorted, then pasted back in, overwriting the unsorted data (if it was left in the original table).
iWork tables follow a database model in which each row is a Record, and each column holds a Field within the records.
As evidenced by the current question (and several similar questions arising in the Numbers community) that model doesn't apply to the way some users, especially some who come in from the MS Excel world, use tables.
With Excels model—islands of data on a single large table, the ability to sort one or a selected few columns of data makes sense. One 'island' may comprise only cells AA21:AH50. Sorting that small 'table' should be possible without disturbing the rest of rows 21-30, which are probably part of one or more other 'data islands' in the sea that is a MS Excel spreadsheet.
In Numbers, each of those 'islands' would be a separate Table, and that Table would be sortable without disturbing other Tables in the document.

Barry

HT1420 How can I merge one iTunes account into my other one. I have a work laptop that I've had one library one (work email address) and I also have a home library iTunes account (gmail address) but I want it all under one accnt.

I have two iTunes libraries (one under my gmail address and one under my work email address). My work laptop is usually how I access my account and in the past 3 months that laptop has had to be replaced twice, causing me to redo my entire library. Each time, the laptop was not deauthorized, of course and I had to go through all that rigamarole. I have all of my music backed up and am able to also retrieve anything purchased over the years from the cloud, but once i get it set up and authorize the laptop to both of the email address accounts, some of the items that are in the gmail library will not play. It says that it cannot locate. At one point, a friend spent a lot of time getting it to finally recognize everything (a lot of that music that said cannot locate was from burned CD's or mp3s downloaded, not purchased from iTunes). So there is that issue and I'm not sure how to fix that.
The other thing is that I would like to have ALL of my items under one iTunes account (my personal gmail) in the event that i no longer work for this company and have no access to that email address as it will be turned off. How can I remove one email and merge all purchases over to the gmail address account?
Thanks!

You cannot combine actual accounts (as in iTunes Store account).
You can combine the music into a single iTunes collection on a computer. There's many ways to do this. There are some utilities to assist with keeping maximum metadata (ratings, playcount, etc.) but I am not familiar with Windows platform ones to do this, though I am sure a web search of merge iTunes library would uncover some.

How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

How can I change one section of the document to a landscape orientation and not the whole document?

Page Setup, including page orientation, is done in the File menu. The setting applies to the whole document. As Peter says, you can rotate the contents of a page (not including the text layer of a word processing document).
As an alternative, you could use Numbers, where Sheets are empty canvases onto which you may place images, charts, tables and text boxes, and where page orientation may be set for individual Sheets. The main tradeoff is that you lose many of the built-in word processing and page layout features of Pages.

I would like to know how can I modify one column of current and next record depending of some criteria using SQL2012?
The criteria is:
Type should always flow F->T
if current abs(amount)> next abs(amount) then groupid = 'PD'
if current abs(amount)< next abs(amount) then groupid = 'PI'
there is no case when those amounts will be equals
where current(custid) = next(custid) and current(service) = next(service) and groupid is null
Any help will be really apreciated.
Thank you

I tried that and got this error
'LAG' is not a recognized built-in function name.
You said you were using SQL 2012, but apparently you are not. The LAG function was added in SQL 2012. This solution works on SQL 2005 and SQL 2008:
; WITH numbering AS (
   SELECT groupid,
rowno = row_number() OVER (PARTITION BY custid, service ORDER BY date, id)
   FROM   #ServiceChange
), CTE AS (
   SELECT a.groupid,
CASE WHEN abs(a.amount) < abs(b.amount) THEN 'PD'
   WHEN abs(a.amount) > abs(b.amount) THEN 'PI'
END AS newgroupid
   FROM numbering a
   JOIN numbering b ON b.custid = a.custid
AND b.service = a.service
AND b.rowno   = a.rowno - 1
UPDATE CTE
SET   groupid = newgroupid

How can I cause HP Mobile Printing print jobs to default to duplex printing?

I purchased an HP Officejet Pro 8620 a few days ago--for use with my Windows 7 PCs. I want all print jobs to default to two-sided (i.e., duplex) printing.
I used Windows' Devices and Printers to access the printer's preferences. I selected "Two-sided (Duplex) Printing" as the Printing Shortcut. This causes all print jobs from Windows to default to two-sided printing.
(Side-point: I notice that all of the printing shortcuts have padlocks on them; if I change any of the properties, a new entry ("User Specified Print Settings") is created; I press the Cancel button to avoid creating the new entry.)
Then I opened a 10-page PDF on an Android device and printed it using HP Mobile Printing (i.e., the HP Print Service Plugin on my Android device). The plugin interface has limited print options; duplex isn't one of them. The printer did not print the PDF duplexed!
How can I cause *all* print jobs (including those from HP Mobile Printing) to default to duplex printing?

Hi,
There are several different printing solutions available for Android, such as HP's built-in print solution for Android, the HP ePrint mobile app, HP's built-in print solution for Android, etc..
As much as I aware, none will allow setting duplex printing as default, still.. mobile printing is more limited than a standard PC..
The HP plugin allow printing to a printer connected to the same local network from several apps which support the plugin, its features are limited as included in my previous link.
The HP ePrint mobie app allow printing to both a printer connected to the same network or via the cloud using the HP ePrint service to print even when the Android device is not connected to the same network as the printer.
As well there is a new 3rd party service, the Mopria Print Service which allow printing from specific apps through the local network, it should be quite similar to HP's built-in print solution for Android
The following document list different printing solutions available for Android and can be viewed as a reference:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03679829&tmp_task=useCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc=e...
The following document also list different prinitng solutions for Apple or Android devices and include a description of any of the options I included above:
http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03722645&tmp_task=setupCategory&cc=us&dlc=en&lc...
I surely do not mean to confuse you, but would like to provide you any of the options (Yes, I know, it is quite a confusing field..) and worth trying if it may allow changing the default settings, I personally not aware so it worth trying..
Hope that helps,
Shlomi

How can i use one SQL statement to solve problem?

How can i use one SQL statement to solve the question below?
For a Table named A, there is a column named F(char type).
Now select all the records where F like '%00' and update their F value to '%01'
Just one SQL statement.Do not use PL/SQL block.
How to do that?
Thanks.

What is the data volume for this table?
Do you expect lots of rows to have '%00' as their value?
Following two statements come to mind. Other experts would be able to provide better alternatives:
If you have index on SUBSTR(f, 2):
UPDATE A
SET    f = SUBSTR(f,
                  1,
                  length(f) - 2) || '01'
WHERE substr(f,
              -2) = '00';If most of the rows have pattern '%00':
UPDATE A
SET    f = SUBSTR(f,
                  1,
                  length(f) - 2) ||
           DECODE(SUBSTR(f,
                         -2),
                  '00',
                  '01',
                  SUBSTR(f,
                         -2));
