Inserting a table in Pages from Numbers

After inserting a table from numbers, it's sometimes not possible to adjust it's dimensions in Pages anymore. At the same time i can't select most of the options to change the tables layout behavior. When i add a table in Pages all options are available in the same textframe? Can't find the difference...
Any idea?

You are right with floating / inline.
But you are not right depending the development of the program. For users edditing text it is completly inapprehensible why the behavior of table adjustements should change, just because it is inline and breaking to the next page, while the same table keeps beeing adjustable when it is displayed on one page again by e.g. adding linies above in the textbox?
That's stupid, like you would judge on Microsofts Word... Programs should support users work and not the other way around.
There is no way to change font-sizes if you can't read the content anymore...

Pasting chart into pages from numbers

How come I can't copy/paste charts into pages from numbers anymore? I used to be able to on the last edition now with the new update when I go to paste the chart nothing happens.

If you are using Pages v5 (any version), then you need to be using Numbers 3+ for copy/paste. If you are using Pages ’09 v4.3, you need to be using Numbers v2.3. Mixing versions breaks things.

Insert into table a (select * from table b) - need pk?

Hi there.
I'm going to insert into table FINAL (select * from table STAGING) - same structure but in STAGING the ID column has nulls.
Do I need to provide the ID (primary key) for table FINAL or will it get created based on sequence/trigger?
If I were doing this in a loop I'd get the next val from the sequence but on a simple insert, I'm curious.
thanks!

hmm.. what is ?
it didn't like it.
Error(11,4): PLS-00103: Encountered the symbol "[" when expecting one of the following: begin case declare exit for goto if loop mod null pragma raise return select update while with <an identifier> <a double-quoted delimited-identifier> <a bind variable> << close current delete fetch lock insert open rollback savepoint set sql execute commit forall merge <a single-quoted SQL string> pipe

Pasting Issues onto Pages from Numbers

Hello.

Anyone able to help?

(semi-)automatically updating cells/tables in pages from a numbers document

Hi,
I've been googling around for a bit, but can't find out if this is possible and if so, how to do it.
What I want to do is create a document in numbers (all the data for the invoices I send), then go to a standardized pages invoice and with a (couple of) click(s) generate the data from the numbers document.
E.g.; I've done a job for someone, whereby I worked *2 hours* for €50/h = €100. They also pay my travelling costs, say 100km at €0.30/km = €30.
Total amount excl. taxes = €130
Add 19% taxes €24,70
Total amount €154,70
All the bold items would have to be in my invoice. I usually have a table in my invoice, so ideally I would crosslink cells from the the pages doc with the corresponding cells in the numbers doc and be able to update any changes I make from the numbers to the pages document with the click of a button.
Is this possible within iWork '09?
If so; how? If not; would it be possible with an external program?
I'm now using MS Office, and my girlfriend knows how to do this between Word and Excel, but I don't want to always have to bother her for every invoice (it's not very easy, and I keep forgetting how to do it (and yes, I can write it down and look it up, but surely it should not be so hard to do someting like that on a Mac?)).
Help is appreciated

We may easily auto-fill a cell from the content of a cell of an other table.
Assuming that we have sheet "Sheet 1" containing a table "Table 1"
and
a sheet "Sheet 2" containing a table "Table 1"
In cell D5 of Table 1 of Sheet 2, insert the formula :
="Sheet 1 :: Table 1 :: B12"
When you will insert something in cell B12 of Table 1 of Sheet 1,
the value will be automatically available in cell D5 of Table 1 of Sheet 2.

DataGrid not reflecting changes after INSERT into Table. Delete from Table does.

Wow, it's been a while.
Hope you guys can help.
This is my DataGrid:
<DataGrid DataContext="{StaticResource TableAssetsViewSource}" ItemsSource="{Binding}" x:Name="TableAssetsDataGrid" AutoGenerateColumns="False" EnableRowVirtualization="True" Margin="15,10,10,10" RowDetailsVisibilityMode="VisibleWhenSelected" Grid.Column="1" HeadersVisibility="Column" CanUserResizeRows="False" IsReadOnly="True">
<DataGrid.CellStyle>
<Style TargetType="DataGridCell">
<Setter Property="BorderThickness" Value="0"/>
</Style>
</DataGrid.CellStyle>
<DataGrid.Columns>
<DataGridTextColumn x:Name="NodeColumn" Binding="{Binding node}" Header="VS Number" Width="*"/>
<DataGridTextColumn x:Name="SerialColumn" Binding="{Binding serial}" Header="Serial Number" Width="*"/>
<DataGridTextColumn x:Name="NameColumn" Binding="{Binding name}" Header="Asset Name" Width="*"/>
<DataGridTextColumn x:Name="TypeColumn" Binding="{Binding type}" Header="Asset Type" Width="*"/>
<DataGridTextColumn x:Name="_dateColumn" Binding="{Binding date}" Header="Date Allocated" Width="*"/>
<DataGridTextColumn x:Name="PoColumn" Binding="{Binding po}" Header="Purchase Order" Width="*"/>
</DataGrid.Columns>
</DataGrid>
This is where I add a new Row to the Table:
Private Sub Button_Click_1(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
Dim cbblocation As ComboBox = Me.FindName("LocationComboBox")
Dim row As DataRowView = DirectCast(cbblocation.SelectedItem, DataRowView)
Dim cbbtext As String = row.Item("node")
Dim cbbtype As ComboBox = Me.FindName("comboBoxType")
Dim cbbtext2 As String = cbbtype.Text
Dim RETAILISOAMDDataSet As Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSet = CType(Me.FindResource("RETAILISOAMDDataSet"), Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSet)
Dim RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAssetsTableAdapter As Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAdapters.tableAssetsTableAdapter = New Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAdapters.tableAssetsTableAdapter()
RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAssetsTableAdapter.AddNewAsset(cbbtext, txbSerial.Text, txbName.Text, cbbtext2, Date.Today, txbPO.Text)
node = cbbtext
Dim mp As New MainPage
mp.RefreshGrid(node)
Me.Close()
End Sub
The RefreshGrid method:
Public Sub RefreshGrid(node As String)
Dim RETAILISOAMDDataSet As Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSet = CType(Me.FindResource("RETAILISOAMDDataSet"), Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSet)
Dim RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAssetsTableAdapter As Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAdapters.tableAssetsTableAdapter = New Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAdapters.tableAssetsTableAdapter()
RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAssetsTableAdapter.FillByNode(RETAILISOAMDDataSet.tableAssets, node)
Dim TableAssetsViewSource As System.Windows.Data.CollectionViewSource = CType(Me.FindResource("TableAssetsViewSource"), System.Windows.Data.CollectionViewSource)
Dim be As BindingExpression = BindingOperations.GetBindingExpression(TableAssetsViewSource, CollectionViewSource.SourceProperty)
be.UpdateTarget()
End Sub
And this is what I use to delete a row from the table (and without doing anything special, the DataGrid auto-updates with the changes):
Private Sub Button_Click_4(sender As Object, e As RoutedEventArgs)
If TableAssetsDataGrid.SelectedIndex = -1 Then
MsgBox("You have selected nothing to Delete!", MsgBoxStyle.OkOnly, "Nothing Selected")
Else
Dim dgv As DataGridTextColumn = Me.FindName("NodeColumn")
Dim row As DataRowView = DirectCast(Me.TableAssetsDataGrid.SelectedItem, DataRowView)
Dim dgvText As String = row.Item("node")
Dim dgv2 As DataGridTextColumn = Me.FindName("SerialColumn")
Dim row2 As DataRowView = DirectCast(Me.TableAssetsDataGrid.SelectedItem, DataRowView)
Dim dgvText2 As String = row.Item("serial")
Dim dgv3 As DataGridTextColumn = Me.FindName("NameColumn")
Dim row3 As DataRowView = DirectCast(Me.TableAssetsDataGrid.SelectedItem, DataRowView)
Dim dgvText3 As String = row.Item("name")
Dim dgv4 As DataGridTextColumn = Me.FindName("TypeColumn")
Dim row4 As DataRowView = DirectCast(Me.TableAssetsDataGrid.SelectedItem, DataRowView)
Dim dgvText4 As String = row.Item("type")
Dim dgv5 As DataGridTextColumn = Me.FindName("_dateColumn")
Dim row5 As DataRowView = DirectCast(Me.TableAssetsDataGrid.SelectedItem, DataRowView)
Dim dgvText5 As String = row.Item("date")
Dim dgv6 As DataGridTextColumn = Me.FindName("POColumn")
Dim row6 As DataRowView = DirectCast(Me.TableAssetsDataGrid.SelectedItem, DataRowView)
Dim dgvText6 As String = row.Item("po")
Dim RETAILISOAMDDataSet As Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSet = CType(Me.FindResource("RETAILISOAMDDataSet"), Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSet)
Dim RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAssetsTableAdapter As Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAdapters.tableAssetsTableAdapter = New Retail_ISO_AMD.RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAdapters.tableAssetsTableAdapter()
RETAILISOAMDDataSetTableAssetsTableAdapter.RemoveAsset(dgvText, dgvText2, dgvText3, dgvText4, dgvText5, dgvText6)
Dim cbb As ComboBox = Me.FindName("cbbLocation")
Dim row7 As DataRowView = DirectCast(cbb.SelectedItem, DataRowView)
Dim cbbtext As String = row.Item("node")
RefreshGrid(cbbtext)
End If
End Sub

It is bound to a Dataset which gets it's data from a SQL Database.
Loading the Data and Filtering the data based on certain conditions work 100%. The problem I am having is as follows:
I have a form on the Page that takes input and inserts a row into the Database. When this happens, the DataGrid won't automatically reflect the changes (even if I recall the Fill Method of the Dataset). No matter what I do, I have to refresh the entire page
and THEN Fill the Dataset to see any changes.
This is what strikes me as odd...
When I do a delete row operation on the Database (Custom Method on the Dataset with conditions), and just Fill the Dataset again (without doing anything special), the row deletes and the changes is reflected IMMEDIATELY.
What am I doing wrong here? Why would Delete Row reflect the changes on the DataGrid but no Insert Row?
Thanks in Advance.
(P.S. I am very rusty with my developing skills, I haven't done this in YEARS)

>>And what about the the most important question, how exactly is TableAssetsViewSource defined in the XAML markup and what is
its Source property set or bound to? And what about the reproducable sample...?
Here is the Markup of the TableAssetsViewSource:
<Page.Resources>
<local:RETAILISOAMDDataSet x:Key="RETAILISOAMDDataSet"/>
<CollectionViewSource x:Key="TableRegionsViewSource" Source="{Binding tableRegions, Source={StaticResource RETAILISOAMDDataSet}}"/>
<CollectionViewSource x:Key="TableLocationsViewSource" Source="{Binding tableLocations, Source={StaticResource RETAILISOAMDDataSet}}"/>
<CollectionViewSource x:Key="TableAssetsViewSource" Source="{Binding tableAssets, Source={StaticResource RETAILISOAMDDataSet}}"/>
</Page.Resources>
The ItemsSource of the DataGrid is bound to the TableAssetsViewSource:
<DataGrid DataContext="{StaticResource TableAssetsViewSource}" ItemsSource="{Binding}" x:Name="TableAssetsDataGrid" AutoGenerateColumns="False" EnableRowVirtualization="True" Margin="15,10,10,10" RowDetailsVisibilityMode="VisibleWhenSelected" Grid.Column="1" HeadersVisibility="Column" CanUserResizeRows="False" IsReadOnly="True">
Just remember, this code was auto-generated with the drag & drop onto the Page, so I did little in terms of setting the actual bindings.
All in all, what I have done so far works as intended, except that when I want to add a row to the table it does not reflect, and that it only shows after refreshing/restarting the application.
I will try and put together a reproducable sample.

How do i create a chart that will update in keynotes or pages from numbers?

I created a table in Numbers and want to export it to Pages and Keynote. I want the changes made in Numbers to Show in Pages and Keynotes.

Hi edwill,
In iWork, I don't know of a way to link between documents. If you are looking for a way to update a Pages or Keynote document automatically when you update a Numbers document, I don't think that is possible. Perhaps someone who is an AppleScript guru can call in to help you.
Regards,
Ian.

Import adresses to Pages from Numbers

Hi.
I have Pages 5.1 and Numbers 3.1. Can anybody tell me if it's possible to import adresses from a Numbers documet to a Pages document. I have a letter I want to send out to a lot of people. But I don't want to type the name and adress into every letter. I have all the names and adresses in an Numebers document. I don't have the name and adressen in my adressbook, and I don't want to import them to my adressbokk.

Good luck getting that to work with Pages 5!
But wasn't that the point of wonderfully diminishing the functionality of Pages 5? You are complicating it all over again by looking for more software to do the same job. How many more applications are you going to need as you hit each absent function?

Unable to refresh spreadsheet pasted into pages from numbers

Hi. I'm building a business plan using pages and as we paste the financials into the pages document, I am not able to refresh the spreadsheet in pages when it is changed and saved in numbers. In the help tab and on the forums a "refresh" button is referred to but I can't find it. Some other notes. I seem to have built the plan in "word processor" in pages instead of in "page layout." Can't tell the distinction between the two. Also, I'm taking a full budget in numbers and hiding most of the cells before pasting into pages. Having this capability work as "advertised" would be a huge time saver.
Thanks.

I'll tackle one part of your questions:
*Word Processing mode:* The document has a default area of text inside the set margins. Text fills this area and flows from page to page as needed. The pages form with the text, expanding and retreating with the tide of text within. This text can be indexed in the T.O.C. and may have footnotes. WP mode also has background and master objects which appear on each page and can be deleted from those pages at one stroke.
*Layout Mode:* The document consists of nothing but individual unconnected pages. Everything on those pages is a floating individual object, with the exception of headers and footers. Text can be linked between textboxes (WP can do this too) by manually linking them, even across pages. Layout mode is much more restricted than WP but simplifies designs by removing some of the clutter.
You can not simply turn one mode into the other. But you can copy/paste text and objects between them.

Export just one page from numbers as a pdf

Hi,
Just wanted to export one page of a numbers spreadsheet, no option to select one page or whole document.
Anyone have any options?
Using ipad2.
Regards
Peter

I think Poikkeus thinks you're using a Mac.
On the iPad I would duplicate the document and in the dupe delete all but the page you wants to export. Then export that one page as a PDF. Not the best solution but it will work I think.

Can tables in Pages be numbered across pages?

Hello,
I often work with long tables that span more than one page.
Pages automatically repeats a table's header row on each page. Does anyone know if it is possible to append notations, such as "[TABLE NAME] (Continued)", to the second and subsequent pages of a table without breaking it into multiple tables or effecting the header of the first page?
Thanks,
Robert

Robert,
Whatever you have in the table's header row(s) will repeat. But, if that is a Page Number Object, the proper page number will be reported. Other than that, if you want substantial changes in what in in the header on the first page vs. other pages, you can't do that in the table. You would have to use the Page Header.

How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula?

hi everyone
i need help
How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula in the cells?

Ok... I see your problem... when pasting into Pages, the formulas from Numbers are included. Perhaps this is really more of a Pages question (in which case I'm far from expert). A couple of ideas:
• In Pages, try "Edit"/"Paste and Match Style", which may insert tab delimited cell values (no formulas). Then, if you want the table format back, select these newly pasted tabbed values and use Page's "Format"/"Table"/"Convert Text to Table"/
• In Numbers, before copying, make a temporary table of the plain values first, then copy and paste that into Pages. To do this, select the range of cells you desire in the Numbers and "Edit"/"Copy". Then "Edit"/"Deselect All" and "Edit"/"Paste Values" and "Edit"/"Cut". Now just a table of values is on the clipboard and you can head over to Pages to paste.

How can I import diagramms and tables from numbers to pages?

I'm writing an essay, where I need diagramms and tables in it. I created some cool stuff in numbers and wanted to transfer it to pages. I thought it would be easier, but I don't have a clue how to just import the numbers stuff to my essay in pages. So I tried to copy it, but it looks not that way it looked in numbers. Another problem is: I can't layout the diagramms and tables the way I want (centered) and I need to write a description under it. I tried it with Textbox, but then I just can't group the textbox with the Table.
Somebody with an idea?
Thanks for your help!

To get your data from Numbers into Pages is just a simple matter of copying and pasting. Select the cells you want to place in Pages, copy, and then past into Pages. There are a couple caveats. 1) the table you paste into Pages will be pasted inline. You'll probably want to use the wrap Inspector and change it to floating. 2) if the table is too wide you'll have to get creative about how you arrange the data and 3) Numbers lets you insert check boxes, sliders, steppers, and popup menus and these won't show but the data in the cells will.
The charts will also copy and paste - again, you'll probably want to use the wrap inspector to switch them to floating objects. Having made the chart object(s) floating objects, you should have no trouble inserting your text box description, arranging them the way you want, and then grouping.
Just to make sure it worked the way I remembered, I just threw together a quick table and chart in Numbers and then copy/pasted it all into Pages.

Problems pasting pie chart from Numbers into Pages table

Hello,
I'm trying to paste a pie chart from Numbers into a table cell in Pages 09 but it doesn't allow me. Would you know why?
Thanks,
Pedro

Probably because it is a smart object connected back to the Numbers document.
If you want it purely as a graphic, try copying the chart in Numbers switching to Preview.app and going command n which will make it a pdf file, then copy that and paste that into Pages. But it will no longer be a live chart.
