Individual Cell Referencing

Hi All,
This thread actually follows on from another, which you can find here: Multiple tables feeding one table
I don't believe it is possible to reference specific cells in a table in the manner you have described. You can reference the cells in an individual selected row of a table by using the corresponding field/column name. However, I don't think you can reference individual cells anywhere in the table like you can with Excel spreadsheets for example.
Judging from the response quoted above, it will be possible to calculate values for Column4, if:
Column4 = Column2 + Column3.
Example 1
--Column1Column2---Column3-----Column4
Row 1 -
80--
85
95--
180
Row 2 -
100--
130
160--
290
Row 3 -
200--
210
220--
430
Row 4 -
200--240260--
zzz
But it will not be possible to calculate values for Column4 , if:
Column4 = a value from another row Column1 + value from row in Column2.
Example 2
--Column1Column2---Column3-----Column4
Row 1 -
80--
8595--
185
Row 2 -
100--
130160--
330
Row 3 -
200--
210220--
410
Row 4 -
200--240260--
xyz
It is highly desirable to be able to reference particular cells and their values in order to be able to manipulate them a little further (as this info is not available at BI Cube level; arrives from different BI queries).
Is anyone able to confirm please?
Regards,
Chet.

Hi Chet,
Your understanding is accurate. As far as I am aware, it is not possible to achieve Example 2 because there is no way of specifiying the row reference for a table cell in a Visual Composer formula.
Since it is possible to perform cell calculations in BI, I would suggest that you try to define one BI query with all of the required information. In order to perform cell calculations in the query it must have a fixed layout, i.e. a column structure and a row structure.
Regards,
Mustafa.

Block, columns, files or individual cells in numbers?

Hello,
There's any way to block from editing an individual cell or file or column?
Normally I use some cells or columns to use specifyc formulas on them, with automathic results.
Not being able to block those, it's really easy to delete the formula.
I could use a Formular for editing data, and block the full table for showing results, but I would prefer to do it on the smae table as in excel, just having some columns editable and others not blocked with automathic formulas.
Is this possible somehow?
Thanks
Sergi.

I don't think so, unless maybe your formulas were on a different table on a different sheet and you just referenced them from the data entry table.
Also, have you looked into Forms? I don't use them much, but I do see that you cannot edit formulas from there.

I want to set up my spreadsheet to display 2 digits to the right of the decimal, even if zeros, and not have to do it to each individual cell.

I want to set up my spreadsheet to display two digits to the right of the decimal point, even if zeros, and not have to do it for each individual cell.

Select all the cells you want formatted that way (or the entire table if that's what you want)
Open the cell inspector
Set the format to "number" with 2 decimal places

Making OnLoad work in individual cells in multiple rows

Dear Raj et al...
thanks for your help with getting the java applet (JMOL) working in individual cells/rows in report tables.
I now need some help with getting OnLoad to work in each row.
I am able to make it work in an HTML region (not in a report table) where I use <body #ONLOAD#> in the HTML region and OnLoad="document.jmol.loadinline(getElementById('P16_text').value)"; in the 'On Load' region in page template.
However if I use OnLoad="document.jmol#AUTOKEY#.loadinline(getElementById('f01_#ROWNUM#').value)";
and put body tags in the Report Attributes\Column Formatting\html expression region where I have embeded the applet tags it doesn't work.
I don't think the #AUTOKEY# and #ROWNUM# are the problem as I also tried explicitly naming the objects:
OnLoad="document.jmol1.loadinline(getElementById('f01_1').value)";
and it still didn't work.
Again any suggestions will be greatly appreciated!
-Dave

Actually I take that back...
"I don't think the #AUTOKEY# and #ROWNUM# are the problem as I also tried explicitly naming the objects:
OnLoad="document.jmol1.loadinline(getElementById('f01_1').value)"; and it still didn't work."
The reason this didn't work is that I had two javascript calls in the on load section and I obviously didn't format them properly (the first worked not the second).
In any case, this worked once it was made the only javascript call in the on load section.
When I tried to use #AUTOKEY# or #ROWNUM# these were then flagged with an "Invalid Character" error.
Do you have any suggestions as how to have variable names put in the "OnLoad" statement and will it work for the n rows that are queried?
Thanks a lot!
-Dave

How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array?

How do you change the colors of individual cells within a 2D array of numeric indicators?
I want the VI to check a data value and if it is failing, white out a square at a specific index coordinate. I have it working with color boxes, but I'm not sure how to use the property node function, to change the color of individual cells, by coordinates.
I have attached the VI using color boxes. If you run the VI, the box corresponding to the Step control should turn white.
I want to do the same thing, using numeric indicator boxes inside the array.
Thanks for any suggestions...

Get rid of all these sequences! That's just bad form.
Your code has a few logical problems. Why do you create a boolean array if you later only look at the last element (Yes, the FOR loop does nothing useful, except in the last iteration because your outputs are not indexing. All other iterations are useless, you only get the result of the last array element. My guess is that you want to color the index white if at least one of the numbers is out if range. Right?
It is an absolute nightmare to manage all your numeric labels. Just read them from a 2D array. Now you can simply find the index of the matched elements and don't have to spend hours editing case structure conditions.
Attached is a simple example how you would do what I meant (LV7.1). Modify as needed.

Setting cell editor for individual cell in JTable

Hi there,
I want to provide individual cell editor for my JTable. Basically, my JTable shows property names and values. I want to show different cell editors for different properties.
I followed the advice in this post:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=57&thread=423318
but I have a question:
I looked at the code of DefaultCellEditor. It just has a single editor component (the one provided in the constructor), so all the methods use the same component and certain aspects are customized for the type of component. Again, there can be only one type of component at a time.The problem that I am facing is that I will have different components for different row/column of the same table. So how do I implement some of the methods (for example, getCellEditorValue()), when I have multiple editor components?
Also, how do I commit changes made by the user?
I am extremely confused.
Someone please help!
Thanks.

Actually, that's what I am currently doing.
Here is my cell editor class:
public class ObjectPropertyEditor extends DefaultCellEditor
       public ObjectPropertyEditor()
          super(new JTextField());
          Vector list = new Vector();
          list.add("Yes");
          list.add("No");
         myCombo = new JComboBox(list);
      public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
          boolean isSelected, int row, int column)
         String colName = (String)table.getValueAt(row,0);
         if(colName.equalsIgnoreCase("Leaf-Node?")) //if it is the "Leaf" property, return the combo box as the editor
             return myCombo;
        else //for all other properties, use JTextField of the super class
            return super.getTableCellEditorComponent(table,value,isSelected,row,column);
    private JComboBox myCombo;
}The problem I have is that when I select a new item from the combo box, the new selection is not reflected in the tableModel. I don't know how I can achive that. I think I need the functionalities that DefaultCellEditor gives to its delegate when its constructor arguments is a combo box. But how can I get two different sets of functionalities (JTextField and JComboBox) ?
Please help!
Thanks.

Make individual cells readonly in js grid of the schedule web part

I need to be able to modify individual cells in the js grid on the schedule web part to make them editable or read only based on certain conditions pertaining to that specific record. I've figured out how to make an entire record in the grid
read only by using delegates, but I'm having trouble getting to the specific cell and making it read only. The code I have for making an entire row read only is below. I'd like to do something along these lines but for cells, not
rows...
PJ.AddGridSatelliteInitializationNotifier
function (satellite) {
satellite = PJ._NotifySatelliteInitComplete.arguments[0];
_myGrid = satellite.GetJsGridControlInstance();
_myGrid.SetDelegate(SP.JsGrid.DelegateType.GetRecordEditMode, CheckToAllowEdit);
function CheckToAllowEdit(record) {
if (record.GetDataValue('TASK_WORK') == 0) {
//i need to find a way to get the cell in question here and then make it ready only return SP.JsGrid.EditMode.ReadOnly;
else {
return SP.JsGrid.EditMode.ReadWrite;

Hi gmhamm0
Were you able to get this done for a specific cell ?

LOL. Good one.
If that doesn't work, how about:myTable.changeSelection( row, column, false, false );

Individual cell data buttons for each app keep turning on by themselves?

I have a 4S iPhone, OS 7.0.6, and my problem is that the individual cell data buttons for each app keep turning on by themselves. I'll go in and turn them all off and the next time I look (whether in 5 min or 5 hrs) they are all turned back on again? I want to leave my cell data on so that I receive my iMessages but usually don't want everything else turned on until I get to a wifi zone. I used to be able to keep them all off until I did the last couple iOS updates. Help!

Hey there Tylyssanna,
It sounds like your cellular data options are not saving correctly. I recommend starting by turning off Cellular Data in Settings first. Then close all the running apps:
iOS: Force an app to close
http://support.apple.com/kb/ht5137
Double-click the Home button.
Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
Swipe the app up to close it.
When you have done that and restart the phone, turn it back on, and test the issue again:
iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

Individual Cell Width?

I am trying to change the width of a individual cell within a
table in Dreamweaver 8, however when I click and drag to change the
width, it also grabs the cell above it, changing both cells,
however I only want to have the width of one cell changed.
I know that to do it in Microsoft products, you select the
one cell, but I have great difficulty to select an individual cell
in Dreamweaver and do not think it works anyway.
Please could someone tell me how to do it please? Thank you
n.b. I am a designer, and would prefer to know via designing
techniques

That's not how cells in a HTML table work.
You can try splitting your cell(s) and see how that works.

Protect individual Cells?

Can you protect individual cells? I am trying to make an invoice. I want to make sure that when values are entered in a cell that they can not be changed, but you can change the quantity etc.
I know I can do in excel, but I am trying to convert my business to mac. I really need this to work on my mac as well as my Ipad. Help!

Protection ("Lock") can be set for only a whole table, not for individual cells.
One workaround is to use one table only for calculations, including transfers of values from a second table, used exclusively for data entry.
With some planning, it may be possible to incorporate both tables into a single invoice page.
OTOH, the ability to lock individual cells on a table seems a likely goal for a Feature Enhancement request. Go to the Application menu ("Numbers") in Numbers, and choose Provide Numbers Feedback. Be prepared to wait until at least the next version of Numbers to see any results.

Is it possible to create a tool tip for an individual cell?

Hi,
Is it possible to create a tool tip for an individual cell?
Sun's JTable tutorial shows how to create a tooltip for an individual column:
TableColumnModel tcm = table.getColumnModel();
TableColumn tc = tcm.getColumn(0);
DefaultTableCellRenderer renderer = new DefaultTableCellRenderer();
renderer.setToolTipText("This is a tool tip text");
tc.setCellRenderer(renderer);
Thank you.

Tables (Individual Cells) & CSS

I have a table in my webpage, which has 1 row and 5 columns
(just 5 cells within the table), when I select the whole table, and
apply the Style sheet, I get this code, I understand
why it is doing that, but the reason I provided this, was
because when I did the first method (applying it to the
whole table, nothing would show in the browser, just the
defaulted background etc.., however when I applied it to each
individual cell, it would show in the browser, any reasons to this?
Thanks:
<tr class="navigationBar">
<td width="20%" height="33"><div
align="center"><a
href="index.html">Home</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"><div
align="center"><a
href="News.html">News</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"><div
align="center"><a
href="cheats.html">Cheats</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"><div
align="center"><a href="new downloads.html">New
Downloads</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"><div
align="center"><a href="about us.html">About
Us</a></div></td>
</tr>
However, if I click each individual cell (Ctrl + Click), then
apply the style sheet, I get this code:
<tr>
<td width="20%" height="33"
class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a
href="index.html">Home</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"
class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a
href="News.html">News</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"
class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a

<td width="20%" height="33"
class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a
href="new downloads.html">New
Downloads</a></div></td>
<td width="20%" height="33"
class="navigationBar"><div align="center"><a
href="about us.html">About Us</a></div></td>
</tr>
p.s. sorry the code has been copied and pasted in, I could
not get the 'Attach Code" to work!

In the first case the class is applied to <tr>, which
cannot show a
background image in IE. In the second case, the class is
applied to each
individual cell, which can show the background image. In
fact, in neither
case did you apply the class to the whole table (i.e., the
<table> tag).
