Is the data entry bar gone?

It appears that data entry is only possible directly in cells now rather than being able to enter it in the bar at the top of the spreadsheet as in Numbers '09?
This is unfortunate. I've always used that space to paste text from webpages and other programs to have them default to the standard format of the sheet rather than use the clumsy shift-option-command-V to paste items and match style.
Am I missing something? I've tried all the menu options I can find but there doesn't seem to be any other data entry area other than directly in the cell.
This is the 3rd or 4th thing now that is really going to hamper my productivity in the new numbers. I'm really considering dumping it at this point and going back to the old version... At least on spreadsheets that are easily recreated since the old version won't open spreadsheets that have been manipulated in the new version.

Tim,
How about that, Numbers V2 is on its way out and I learn something new about it. I never realized the practicality of pasting into the Formula Bar.
However, in Numbers V3, there is a slightly clunky way to enter data into the formula editor rather than directly into the cell:
Select the Cell, Type an equals sign, hit "delete", Paste.
Not easier than Shift-Option-Command-V, but it works.

  • Bug report: Controls in the Data Entry property page reset when using relative time

    Create a blank VI.
    Drop a numeric control.
    Right click and select "Display Format".
    Change to a relative time.
    Switch to the "Data Entry" tab page.
    Uncheck the "Use Default Limits" boolean.
    Try changing the values and you will see that they return to their previous values (inf, by default). This persists even after pressing OK and opening the dialog again. It looks like the values are held in a cache and put back into the controls, since if you change a page and go back to the limits page, it shows the correct values. I also managed to get it to display the values using the correct format (relative time), which I assume is what it should be doing.
    This is in LabVIEW 8.6.
    Try to take over the world!

    Relative Time Data Entry Bug.vi ‏5 KB

    I spent some time playing around with this in 8.6.1, and at this time do not consider it a bug - unless there is something I completely missed.
    When you set to relative time, the inputs for data entry are expecting HH:MM or HH:MMS, depending on which display setting you chose.  Typing a '7' is undefined - does the user mean hours? Minutes? Seconds? Parsecs ?
    Once we type in a value that matches the format and we get the display to change, it is true that from now on if we type '7' in the field, it will automatically coerce it to 7:00, if we type 36 it coerces to 36:00.  If we type 7.5, it does not change the value at all.  I think at this point, the user knows what is going on, so this behavior is acceptable.  After accepting the changes and re-opening the properties window, the limits are persistent.
    I was not able to reproduce typing a '7' in the limit, having it automatically coerce back to '-inf', then going to a different tab or clicking ok, and coming back and seeing it as 7:00. It was still '-inf'.  If you have some more details on this, maybe I can reproduce it, but from everything I tried, users are be able to enter values and these values are saved.
    Edit - I am aware of the other forum post and the CAR filed there...

  • Context Menu in WAD - disable the data entry active entries

    Hi,
    I have the following problem. We created an input ready query and brought this query via WAD into the portal. Inside the Web Template we have a SAVE Button and a Button activation the Data Entry possibility. Now when executing the Web Template, the user can save the data via the context menu (we have the steps "Data Entry Active -> Active | Save Changed Data | Reset Changed Data | Update ). Now we want to suppress these funcitonality, because using the SAVE button the systems starts a planning sequence for checking entries and a process chain with special funcition. The users must use the button, because the save function in the context menu does not execute the planning functions.
    Maintaining the Web Template via WAD I don't have the possibility to disable these menu entries. If I disable all menu entries in the context menu web item, executing the Web Template displays only the Data Entry Active Menu . How can I suppress these special entries of the context menu, because I want to use other entries of the context menu and I don't want to suppress the context menu in total (I know that this is possible.)
    Thanks in advance.
    Juergen

    Hi,
    we have the same problem. I have found the following solution:
    Use the following parameters for the context menu item to suppress the data entry active entries.
                    <bi:CONTEXT_MENU_ITEM name="CONTEXT_MENU_ITEM_1" designheight="70" designwidth="300" >
                        <bi:MENU_CELL_LOCKING value="" />
                        <bi:MENU_VALUE_RESET value="" />
                        <bi:MENU_DATA_ENTRY_MODE value="" />
                        <bi:MENU_REFRESH_DATA value="" />
                        <bi:MENU_SAVE_DATA value="" />
                        <bi:MENU_RESET_DATA value="" />
                    </bi:CONTEXT_MENU_ITEM>
    It works for us.

  • I am having a strange problems on the Data entry Forms

    A form that has been used since 2005 in an old version of HFM 3.51 was migrated to SYstem 11.1.2.1 in January of 2012 and has been working since then. Suddenly we start having some strange problems. Our response time has been very slow and I am wondering if there were some problems in any of the services. Maybe a service did not start properly related to the WEB forms.
    We entered a number in one of the cell to be: 348336349 as soon as we hit enter, the number was formatted to 348,336,349 but when I submit the number it came back as 3. I tried it several times and it did not work, I checked the scaling and that was set blank. One of my user tried it and it did not work. I tried looking into the Preferences and my screen froze. In the meantime one of my user was able to enter the number and was able to refresh it as well. Then she enter another number on a different cell and the same problem occurred it seemed as if it truncated all the digits except for the left most digit, we are unable to figure out how to resolve this issue. The number entereed in the cell is 826,251,218 it stores 8 and loses the rest of the 8 digits. I right click and checlk the properties and it says that it has stored 8 instead of 826,251,218.
    Following is the DEF script. Does anyone has any ideas, I am wondering if I have to restart the services..

    Hi,
    Did you find a way to solve your problem ? We have exactly the same for one application and we are using the same version of HFM : 11.1.2.1.
    This problem is only about webforms. We can correctly input data through Data Grids or Client 32.
    Thank you in advance for your answer.

  • Where has the TextEdit search bar gone?

    I have just loaded Yosemite. When I open a TextEdit document the search bar no longer appears in the top right hand corner of the window. Is there a setting to get it back?

    It Does Not Fall Far From The Tree wrote:
    Hi Sparkleberry , thanks for the responses. I need to clarify, it is not the search bar itself that shrinks, it is the text in the doc. And it is a pain as I use the simple .txt as a reference.
    Regarding the search bar - that explains a lot.  I think everyone responding so far thought that the search bar was shrinking.
    Regarding shrinking text, there is an easy explanation :
    when you press Command plus - (minus) key you step down the font size in your selected text in TextEdit.
    Do that again and you will go from Typeface Menlo size 17 down to 16, do it again and it goes down to 15 and so on.
    Press Command plus + and you step up the selected text by a point size....and the process reverses itself.
    So since you now know that "Command + minus" steps typeface size down and  "Command + plus" steps typeface size up you can stop doing that and you won't have shrinking text

  • Where has the full status bar gone?

    I am on version 7.0.1 and the status bar along the bottom only appears when it is doing something, and even then it abbreviates certain links if they are longer than the status bar.
    this isn't terribly useful when programming. I am sure you use to be able to get an Addon to put the whole thing back.
    Can someone tell me where it is please.

    Are you using the Status-4-Evar extension to show the Status bar or do you mean the pop-up that replaces the status bar that appears to show messages?

  • How to count the occurance of the data entry on OBIEE answers

    Hello guys
    I have one report that contains a column call type. In the report that I am creating, there are 200 rows in that column, but there are really just 4 types of call type; "A,B,C,D"
    So in my report it looks like this
    Call type other dim and fact
    A
    A
    A
    B
    B
    C
    D
    D
    D
    D
    Now I need to add one more column said call counts, which needs to count the occurance of each call types:
    Call type count others
    A 3
    B 2
    C 1
    D 4
    So how would I be able to achieve this on answers? I used "count" function on "count" column, but it is counting all the rows without distinguishing the call type
    Please let me know
    Thanks

    Hi,
    Looks to me like this should be a measure within the RPD rather than something you try to do at the presentation level. Any simple "# of <x>" measure will work like you describe, it should just do a simple count on something unique in the table and have an aggregation rule set, OBIEE will then automatically group by this in your report by distinct call type without you having to do anything complex.

  • How to use the same variable value for data entry and the planning sequence

    Hi,
    the scenario is the following:
    Using the WAD template a user enters cost center plan data. The cost center is selected by the chosen value for the variable "V1".
    Afterwards he shall push a button which starts a planning sequence (including saving the data and further functions). This planning sequence uses a filter that also contains the variable "V1".
    What or where has it to be defined that the planning sequence uses automatically the same value for the variable "V1" as selected for the data entry?

    You have to define in the planning function. The planning sequence is only a sequence and it read the planning functions underneath it.

  • Restricting data entry to a particular language in the form

    Hi,
    I created a multilingual form in which all the fields of the form are in a particular language . Now am trying to restrict data entry in the form to that language at the client side only . Say if it is a form in french, can we restrict the data entry to french only .  The approach i was trying to implement was adding a script against the change event of all data fields and see if the characters lie in the range of  the language unicode character set . But have not been successful in it yet . Can anybody help me find some way or provide any sample for it ?
    Thanks

    Hello, I'm German
    Probably you can restrict the characters used for text entry, so for example ü is allowed in the German form but not in French.
    But you will NEVER be able to restrict the users staying only writing French in French forms 100%.
    1) You sometimes, not often, do encounter letters that are not typical for the language. (Though it can appear in any kind of word, it's quite regular for names.)
    2) Let's say I fill the French form. I encounter a problem when I type in the word "Müller". This word wouldn't be French at all. The text will be delted and probably given an error message. Well... I learn out of this error message. Next time I'll type Mueller. ^^
    (I knew several pages were people were restricted to talk English by forbidding letters that were not used in English very often... That didn't stop us violating that rule. The only error that really bugged us wasn't the restriction in not using letters that don't exist in English but the "please don't swear or insult so." error that kept appearing for ex. when we used the German word for "that" (= "dass"). They just didn't like the last 3 letters.)
    3) Many countries have the same or include other countries unicodes. For example English could be written in the German form or in the French form.
    4) You can't get out the syslanguage as far as I know. This would be a great hint which language the person is using.
    5) I don't think you can use the spellcheck in any way... great violation against spellchecking could also be a hint for another language.
    I know a quite big internetcommunity which did try to accomplish the same as you do. After about 2 years and a lot of experiments they stopped their efforts and were content by popping up the random error-messages warning that you don't have to insult, just like those other communities mentioned above. ^^ (Though they tried to restrict the insulting parts to the language used that didn't work out. Too many people knew how to insult in other languages ;D or which words were similar to insults.)
    People just never do what they are supposed to do and are quite nasty finding workarounds...
    My advice to you would be:
    Don't make the effort.
    Sorry for not being able to provide you with a solution, but the opposite.

  • Icon substitutions causing cursor to move out of data entry field

    Hi,
    Since installing Mountain Lion 10.8.2 I am having an issue with using substitutions in web page data entry fields in Safari (Version 6.0.1)
    I use web based software for my business and enter text data in the form of standard text, substitutions which expand into words and substitutions that change to icons/special characters, for example ↑ is used when i type "pa + spacebar". Previously this was not a problem and I could enter the icon and continue on typing, however now it removes the cursor from the data entry field and if I press the space bar again it scrolls the page forcing me to mouse click on the entry field to continue typing. Very frustrating as I use alot of these special characters in my note taking.
    When I use a substitution for expanding words it has no concern and allows me to continue typing.
    I have tried deleting the icons/special characters and reinstating them but it still continues to take the cursor out of the entry field.
    Any help in sorting this out would be greatly appreciated.
    Cheers

    I am having the same issue. Not just for special characters, but for any substituion. For example, a lowercase "i" into a capital "I". It's very annoying. I hope there's a fix for it.

  • I have a new IPAD4 which has synced pictures i selected but not music or films i selected from itunes library? I have had an account for years and never had issues syncing with iphone or ipod? when i attempt ipad the data shows and it cycles but nothing?

    show the data shows whe i selet for sync (i have ticked sync only ticked icon) and selected two playlists - the data usage shows an extra 3.2 gb off my 32g ipad and the movies show up purple on the data usage bar, i press apply / sync it takes 20mins to go through 5 stages - never once do i see a song title or number in the update display. then when it finishes the data usage bar goes back to the lower amount before i tried to add the music and movies to my ipad?? The only thing that i have managed to move if pictures??
    Im confused, ive always got on fine with moving, updating and syncing my iphone, ipod touch, have done this the same way but NO music or films
    when i go through the summary section it says i have selected 757 songs (off two playlists) and i movie (from a digital copy via itunes), they show in usage bar b4 sync but then after sync nothing! i have tried both wi fi sync and normal, i have the lastest updates and CANT FIGURE THIS OUT
    When i set up the ipad out the box the other day it asked whether i wanted a NEW INSTALL or RESTORE FROM ICLOUD BACKUP (presumbly off iphone), I choose restore, it then downloaded all the apps and web history/bookmarks etc, although it took about 8 hours to do it which i thought was odd?!
    Ive spent £500 on this and if i cant put my msuc or movies on it that makes it a very exspensive web browser, APPLE this should be easier .......! please help - im no techno noob beither grand master, just your average user so im sure people might know what to do... i freakin hope so!

    ps when syncing it jumps through steps 1 - 4 real fast, i seem to remeber iphone showing the number of tracks transferring and names, but i see nothing? then it sits on 5 saying "waiting for changes to be applied"

  • Open data slice for data entry and close afterwards

    Dear all,
    I have created one data slice for a characteristic combination country xy in order to prevent the data entry within the data entry query for the user. But for some reason I have to run a planning function in order to summarize some values and write a total value in the characteristic e.g. country xy.
    The planning function brings out an error message because this can not be executed due to the fact that this combination is protected.
    Is there a way to open the data slice before the planning function is writing the data in the cube? I have tried to to this in the Data slice exit, but I do not have an idea how to open the DS, save the data and close the DS again.
    We are running NW BI 7.0. Any ideas would be great.
    Best regards,
    Stefan from Munich/Germany

    I did something like this by creating an FM and calling that FM from a FOX function. I think you will have to use three commands to execute three functions one after the other (and not combine them in one planning sequence) - first one will switch off the data slice, next will be your planning function containing the logic, and the last will switch it back on.
    The FM would be something like below:
    FUNCTION Z_SWITCH_DSLICE.
    *"*"Local Interface:
    *"  IMPORTING
    *"     REFERENCE(I_INFOPROV) TYPE  RSINFOPROV
    *"     REFERENCE(I_DSNR) TYPE  RSPLS_DSNR
    *"     REFERENCE(I_STATUS) TYPE  I
    *** This function imports the name of a real-time Infoprovider and a Data Slice number
    ***        and a parameter I_STATUS. If I_STATUS is 1, data slice is activated
    ***        If I_STATUS is -1, data slice is de-activated
    data wa_ds type rspls_ds.
    select single * from rspls_ds
            into wa_ds
            where infoprov = I_INFOPROV
              AND objvers = 'A'
              AND dsnr = I_DSNR.
    if I_status = 1.
       wa_ds-used = 'X'.
    elseif I_status = -1.
       wa_ds-used = ''.
    endif.
    update rspls_ds from wa_ds.
    ENDFUNCTION.
    The Fox code will be like below -
    CALL FUNCTION Z_SWITCH_DSLICE
        EXPORTING
           I_INFOPROV = <infoprov name>
           I_DSNR = <Data Slice Number>
           I_STATUS = <0 or 1>.
