Insert date in numbers

Is here a way to "Insert date" in the new version 3 of Numbers? It was pretty clear int he previous version.

That feature was dropped. However, you can:
1) enter the function "=today()" in the cell you want the date in
2) select that cell, copy
3) paste back over that same cell, using the key combination <command>+<shift>+v (which is paste formula result)
If you keep a cell with the formula in item (1) around then you can select, copy, then <command>+<shift>+v
You can post feedback to apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback"

Cannot insert date into numbers 3.1 using ctl shift d

can no longer insert date into numbers 3.1 using control shift d

Hi Gerald,
If you are inserting the current date a lot, and want a simple keyboard combination to do it rather than fiddling with formulas in Numbers, here is an easy way that takes advantage of some neat functionality built into every Mac that is much easier than it sounds. It requires the investment of just a few minutes of time to make a one-time setup of an "Automator service." Thereafter inserting a date is just a menu pick or keyboard combination.
1. Open Automator (in your applications folder) and choose Service as document type:
2. Drag 'Run AppleScript' action from the left over into the right pane:
3. Copy the following script and paste it into the right pane (replacing all of the default text in the pane):
on run
          set date_ to ((current date) as string)
set the clipboard to the date_
          tell application "Numbers"
activate
                    tell application "System Events"
keystroke "v" using {option down, shift down, command down}
                    end tell
          end tell
end run
4. At the top of the right pane choose 'no input' for 'Service receives' and 'Numbers.app' for 'in'. (On my machine I have the old Numbers renamed to Numbers09 so the script doesn't get confused).
After you click the hammer icon (to "compile") your right panel should now look like this:
5. Name the service "Today" or similar and move it to the Library > Services folder. (If it doesn't save automatically to that location you can File > Export in Automator, choose the 'Desktop' for 'Where', then in Finder open a new window and hold down the option key and choose Go > Library > Services, and drag Today.workflow from the Desktop into that folder.)
That's it. The service is ready to go. Thereafter, whenever you want to insert the current date, just pick Today from the Services menu:
6. Or, to make this even easier to access, choose Services Preferences and assign a keyboard shortcut to the service:
SG
Troubleshooting notes:
This should "just work." But if it doesn't for some reason, try one or more of the following:
- Rename the old Numbers (the one in the iWork '09 folder under Applications) to Numbers09 or similar.
- Check to make sure you aren't using the same keyboard shortcut for something else.
- Remove 'Day of the week' from your "Full" date format in System Preferences > Language & Region.
- Try revising permissions under System Preferences > Security & Privacy > Accessibility > Privacy.

How do you create a short cut to insert date in Numbers 3.1

Hi,
Does any one know how to create a keyboard shortcut for inserting the date in Numbers 3.1

The install-by-doubleclicking Automator Service (where it becomes a menu pick if you use it often and find that more convenient than a formula in a spreadhseet) is here (Dropbox download). Depending on your settings you may need to go to System Preferences > Privacy & Security and click the 'Open Anyway' button. If you want you can assign it a keyboard shortcut in System Preference > Keyboard > Shortcuts. If you don't like it or find you the formula is just as easy for you, then in Finder hold down the option key, choose Go in the menu and navigate to Library > Services, where you can trash it the way you would any file or package.

How to insert data from Numbers to Pages?

I want to use data from Numbers to insert in Pages. The same as Word and Excel can connect. When it works you can make 1 letter, and after connecting it correctly with Numbers you can make ten, hundred, thousand ... letters, all of them personalized. Who can help me? The manuals can't.

You are talking about Mail Merge.
Pages '09 did this with data from Numbers and from Address Book/Contents.
Apple removed this from Pages along with over 100 other features, but in Pages 5.5.1 it has now become possible to work around the limitation with some AppleScripting. So Apple has done what Apple does best these days, it takes something that was relatively simple and worked and turns into something complicated if not impossible, usually undocumented, and says they have simplified it.
Frankly it is not worth the time it takes trying to fix everything that is broken, there is just too much and it is constantly being reshuffled by Apple. Just stick with what you know or use LibreOffice [free] which has all this built in.

How do I make numbers automatically insert date of table entry?

Hi, I am monitoring time spent on a computer, so every time I log a time on my table in numbers I want it to automatically insert the date of that entry in the next column, I do not know how to do this,
I hope someone can help me resolve this issue,
Sincerely,
Henri

Hi Henri,
There is no way to have an automatic time stamp in Numbers. Once you double click on a cell you can go to Menu>Insert>Date & Time and get a time samp that way.

Insert date and time into write to spreadsheet

Easy question here
I need save 4 arrays of data and insert the date and time that it was taken (LV 8.6)
for example
9/4/09 10:00:01 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:02 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:03 AM 4 6 7 2
9/4/09 10:00:04 AM 4 6 7 2
Any ideas, I can't wire the timestamp or date/time string right into the create array
Thanks
Chris
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok
the basic problem that I see is the the LabVIEW TimeStamp type is a cluster. Converting it to a dbl gives you a value in seconds elapsed since 1904 Jan 1 12:00AM GMT and, your spreadsheet cannot interprate that (or display that) as a "TIME." So, you want to convert it to a string (easy TS->String check the help for format options) BUT, you might want to pass all of your data as numbers into your spreadsheet so you can post-calculate or graph other outputs vs. TIME! This little chunk of code .....
converts a LV Timestamp to a number that Excel interperates as "the amount of days elapsed since 0 Jan 1900 @ 12:00AM LOCAL." You will need to format the cell in Excel to display it as a date-time But it can be operated on and graphed against with only Excel's limitations (Excel followed the Lotus bug of erroneously assuming 1900 was a leap year, and Leap seconds are unrecognized)
Enjoy!

Insert date and time

This is a simple question but one that has been bugging me in a small way. If on a spreadsheet I press 'insert date and time' all I get is that day and date for example saturday 10th July 2010 and no time.
Anyone offer an explanation for this?
Thanks
Mike

Hello Peggy
The problem was already reported to Bugs Hunters :
+Bug ID# 7862838.+
+In Numbers and Pages there is the function+
+Insert > Date Time.+
+At this time, its default behaviour is : insert the current date and the time 12:00:00 (without displaying the time).+
+Given my own experience and what is often asked in Discussions forums, it would be interesting to change the default setting so that it inserts the current date & time and display both of them.+
+Of course some users wish the availability of three items:+
+Insert > Date defaulting to the sole date component+
+Insert > Time defaulting to the sole time component+
+Insert > Date & Time defaulting to the complete current dateTime.+
+I preferred the scheme defaulting with the complete current dateTime because removing one component is faster than adding one using the existing protocol.+

How to get Inserted Date in Headers to change daily

Using the latest version of Pages, how can I insert the Date and Time in a Header so that it changes automatically on a new date?
Thanks for your help!

Hello Sol Berger
To change the setting on the inserted Data & Time, either right click or option click the date and there is an option that says Automatically update on open that would need to be checked to update when you open the document.
Pages '09: Adding Page Numbers and Other Changeable Values
http://support.apple.com/kb/PH10343
To add and format the date and time, place the insertion point where you want the value to appear, and then choose Insert > Date & Time.
To change the date and time format, Control-click the date and time value, choose Edit Date & Time, and then choose a date and time format from the pop-up menu. If you want the document to always show the current date and time, select “Automatically update on open.”

Urgent!!!!! Inserting data in table control of infotype.

Hi Experts,
I want to insert data in custom infotype.I am using FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION for this purpose.But custom infotype contains a table control.
Table control of infotype has 20 rows containing fields name01 , addr01 upto name20 , addr20.
How do i insert data in table control fields of infotype if i want to use FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION .
Pls suggest if there is another way to do it.
Thanks.

Thanks for your reply.
I am Calling FM HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION in a loop of a table.
Table contains multiple employee numbers-PERNR.There can be all different PERNR or some records of same PERNR.
Suppose if there are four records in the table.First two records are of the same PERNR.Then how would name01 or name02 will be assigned.
Now, third record is of new PERNR .Again it should be name01.
So the question is how everytime in a loop i will assign nameNN for different PERNR.
nameNN and addrNN was an example. I am sending my code here.
Loop at it_data.
gs_9000-PERNR = it_data-pernr..
gs_9000-currentamount03 = it_data-curramt.
gs_9000-mtdamount03 = it_data-mtd.
gs_9000-qtdamount03 = it_data-qtd.
gs_9000-ytdamount03 = it_data-ytd.
gs_9000-roll12amount03 = it_data-roll.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_ENQUEUE'
EXPORTING
NUMBER = gs_9000-pernr
IMPORTING
RETURN = RETURNE.
CALL FUNCTION 'HR_INFOTYPE_OPERATION'
EXPORTING
INFTY = '9000'
NUMBER = gs_9000-PERNR
VALIDITYBEGIN = '20080801'
RECORD = gs_9000
OPERATION = 'INS'
TCLAS = 'A'
DIALOG_MODE = '0'
IMPORTING
RETURN = RETURN
KEY = KEY.
IF RETURN IS NOT INITIAL.
WRITE :/ 'Error Occurred'.
ENDIF.
CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_EMPLOYEE_DEQUEUE'
EXPORTING
NUMBER = gs_9000-PERNR
endloop.
So in above code...
gs_9000-currentamount03 = it_data-curramt.
gs_9000-mtdamount03 = it_data-mtd.
gs_9000-qtdamount03 = it_data-qtd.
gs_9000-ytdamount03 = it_data-ytd.
gs_9000-roll12amount03 = it_data-roll.
these are table control fields , so how i wud i assign for
gs_9000-currentamount04 = it_data-curramt.
gs_9000-mtdamount04 = it_data-mtd.
gs_9000-qtdamount04 = it_data-qtd.
gs_9000-ytdamount04 = it_data-ytd.
gs_9000-roll12amount04 = it_data-roll.
in loop of a table.
Thanks

Auto date for numbers

Hello! I'm building a template to monitor my mothers blood sugar levels twice a day. Currently, I'm manually entering date and day of the week. Is there a way for me to format a column to automatically enter date and day of the week information or do I need to enter that cell by cell? I'm new to numbers'09 but learning. Thanks!

Hi Larry,
You can enter the Date using the Insert > Date and Time menu item, or by pressing shift-option-command-D.
If you also want the current time included in the entry, do the above, then double-click the cell to open the set date dialogue and choose the last format in the popup menu.
OR:
Enter the formula =TODAY() in all cells (after the last date you've entered) in the Date column. As each day arrives, select the cell(s) for that day, Copy, then Edit > Paste Values.
OR
If you're using a single row for each day's entries (ie. morning and afternoon levels recorded in separate columns):
Enter the starting date into a Header row. (example uses cell B1)
Enter the formula =B1+1 into B2 (row 2 is the first non-header row)
Fill the formula down to the rest of the cells in column B.
To add dates, drag the Row handle down to add rows. The formula will automatically fill into the new rows (IF every regular cell in the column contains the formula).
In any of these you can format the cells to show the date in a format that includes the weekday name.
Regards,
Barry

What happened to the Insert Date menu item?

In the Numbers 3.0 upgrade the Insert Date menu item is gone. Where can I now find it? Or is there now shortcut?
David

David,
Wait a minute... I'm adding that one to my list.
My workaround:
Type =Today() Return, Return, Up-Arrow, Command-C, Shift-Command-V
This enters the date from a function then copies the cell and pastes the value back into the cell.
Some shortcut, eh?
Jerry

What is the formula for automatically entering todays date into Numbers. In Quattro, it was '@today', but I cannot find it in numbers. Thx

What is the formula to automatically enter 'current date' into spreadsheet? In Quattro, it was '@today', but I cannot find it in the Numbers spreadsheet. Thx

201,
Do you want it to update or always show the date when entered?
For updates, use the TODAY() function.
For a static date, use Insert > Date and Time.
Regards,
Jerry

HowTo (insert data into a data table by columns)

Hello.
Hello I need insert data in a data table component, but i need insert column by column, the number of columns it�s static per exemple 3 colums, but the numbers of rows it�s dynamic. If my data is a vector of Integers like [1,2,3,4,5,6,7] The component have to display the data like that:
1 2 3
4 5 6
7
And in the cells have to have a checkbox componet to check de data to submit.
Any ideas, could be posible with de data table component or another component ?�?�
Thanks in advance.

I would sugggest you to check this item on winston's blog:
http://blogs.sun.com/roller/page/winston?entry=displaying_two_dimensional_data
It does the same thing as you're looking for, in a slightly different way.
For checkbox columns in the table, this could be a useful reference :

Error while insert data using execute immediate in dynamic table in oracle

887684 wrote:
ORA-00904: "SUBJECT_OBJ": invalid identifier
ORA-06512: at line 7The problem is that your variable subject_obj is not in scope inside the dynamic SQL you are building. The SQL engine does not know your PL/SQL variable, so it tries to find a column named SUBJECT_OBJ in your SAM1 table.
If you need to use dynamic SQL for this, then you must bind the variable. Something like this:
EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'insert into op_sample (select id,name,:bind_subject_obj from sam1) ' USING subject_obj;Alternatively you might figure out to use static SQL rather than dynamic SQL (if possible for your project.) In static SQL the PL/SQL engine binds the variables for you automatically.
