Is there a way to reference consecutive cells in numbers?

For instance, is it possible to say make a formula that takes as it's arguments 2 values, in consecutive cells, and have a single formula for an entire column?
I'm not sure if that's clear or not. Here is an example:
I have a 73x4 sheet, and want the 3rd column to take the values of B, [i+1]B and take the difference.
Is there a way to do that?

cmarcotte,
To answer the first part of your question, yes it is possible to write a formula in column C that will be the same for all rows, but I really don't understand what you are trying to do here. I'm picturing a 73 row, 4 column table with values in column B. Then (tell me if I'm right) in column C you want to find the difference of the value in column B and i+1*B. This looks to me like the results will always be i or -i. Is "i" a complex number? is it a row number? or something else? Is the coefficient of B (1 in your example) a row number perhaps?
Please clarify what you are trying to do in column C. A couple of specific examples would really help.

Is there a way to reference a private variable from one class in another?

My first class starts off by declaring variables like so:
class tStudent {
// declare student name, id, grades 1 & 2, and gpa
private String fname, lname, g1, g2;
private int id;
private double gpa;
// define a constructor for a new student
tStudent () {fname=lname=g1=g2=null; id=-1; gpa=0.0;}
// define methods for manipulating the data members.
// readStudent: reads information for just one student
public void read (Scanner input) {
      fname = input.next();
      lname = input.next();
      id = input.nextInt();
      g1 = input.next();
      g2 = input.next();
}And the second class:// tStudentList: for a list of students
class tStudentList {
private int nStudents;
private tStudent[] list;
// constructor for creating student list
tStudentList() {
      list = new tStudent[36];
      for (int i=0; i < 36; i++) list=new tStudent();
// read the individual students into the student list
public void read(Scanner scan) {
nStudents=0;
while (scan.hasNext()) {list[nStudents++].read(scan);}
// display the list of all students - fname, lname, id, g1, g2 and gpa
// with an appropriate header so the output matches my sample //output
public void print() {
Is there a way to reference the variables in the first class to use in the second? Specifically in the last section of code where I am going to print the list.

Not without resorting to reflection hackery. If the fields are private (and are supposed to be), then that means "don't allow access to these to outsiders of this class" by design.
So if you really meant them to be accessible, then don't use private, or provide public accessors for them.

TS2755 is there a way to block texts from specific numbers to imessage with out turning imessage off?

is there any way to block text from specific numbers to imessage without turning imessage off?

Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You can be reached by iMessage at:
Select the right facing arrow in a blue circle next to the email address this girl is sending iMessage to and select Remove This Email.
If she has your cell phone number, she can switch to sending iMessage to that and there will be nothing you can do, but removing the email address will prevent you from receiving an iMessage addressed to that email address.

Is there a way to password / pass code the numbers app???

Not that I'm aware of. The iPad is designed to be a single user device, so you can passcode the whole thing, or nothing at all.
There are a few apps that you can lock out with restrictions, but I don't think Pages is amongst them. You can look in settings and restrictions and see what you can lock down.

Is there a way to reference just a sheet (not table and cell)

I want to have a profile overview sheet tat will draw from individual profile sheets. Is there a way to set up a cell with which table and cell to draw from, but then make it draw the sheet name from a different cell. That way I can fill in the sheet name in the appropriate cell, and all the other cells would automatically draw from the appropriate sheet.
Any tips or advise would be appreciated.

=IFERROR(INDIRECT(A1 & " :: Table 1 :: A2"),"")
or
=IF(A1="","",INDIRECT(A1 & " :: Table 1 :: A2"))
The first will capture errors caused by A1 being blank and errors caused by A1 specifying a non-existent sheet (i.e., typos). The second one prevents errors caused by A1 being blank but will still give an error if you specify a non-existent sheet..

Is there a way to fill a cell with a value based on the selection from another cell?

For example: If have a drop down menu created for Cell A1 with options (Dog 1, Cat 2, Bird 3). Is there a way to fill cell A2 automatically when I select from the drop down menu.
So if I selected 'Cat' in A1, cell A2 would automatically input the 2.

I suggest an extensible method that allows you to add other animals:
This method adds a small table called "Animal Lookup" that matches names (same as in the pop-up menu) with a value.
The table on the left uses this table to retrieve the value based on the animal:
B2=VLOOKUP(A2, Animal Lookup :: A:B, 2, 0)
select B2 and fill down

Is there a way to reference a variable name by the value of a String?

I realize my title may not be expressing the question accurately so...
In perl I can do this:
$varname = "nIterations";
${$varname} = 27;
which is the same thing as
$nIterations = 27;
Is there a way to do this in Java?
eg I want something like
String varname = new String( "nIterations" );
How can I refer to a variable programmatically from the value of the varname string, or is there not a way to do this?
Thanks!

Thank you, I'm very new to java and am not sure I am seeing the big picture. I searched the forums and found this example:
Map textFieldMap = new HashMap();
textFieldMap.put("1", new JTextField());
textFieldMap.put("2", new JTextField());
JTextField textField = (JTextField)textFieldMap.get("1");
textField.setText("some value"); // text field associated with "1"
What I am confused with is how those textfields correspond to the 48+ textfields I have already placed on my applet canvas. I understand the example above as far as using the map to access specific textfields, but I am not sure how those textfields will match up to the ones I have ( which are named right now S11 , S12, ..., S116, ..., S31, S32, .., S316
I am sure I am missing something.
Thank you

Is there a way for my MMS message phone numbers not seen by whole group even after turning off group messaging?

I send messages to a group of people but they are all able to see each other's phone numbers and they can't tell who is sending the message because on their iphone all the numbers appear and I have turned off group messaging. Is ther a way to prevent that from happening?

I am simply lookig for some help not an argument. I am not an RF specialist however have setup a few wireless networks in my tenure at Wynn Resorts. I fully agree that wireless networking is an art and a science however the powers that be in Network Land have toughted wireless networking is the easiest and quickest way to get two computers to talk with one another. As I previously said I have already turned one (1) MBP in for this problem and Apple decided to replace it because they could not fix the problem with my particular MBP. This MBP was running Leopard when the problems started
I am having a hard time believeing that there are several other devicces in my home that depend on a wireless network to operate and my MBP is the only one having an issue. I took this a step further and decided to see what would happen if I tried to connect wirelessly via Fusion. In Windows 7 I am able to print and scan to my hearts content without any issues. I am able to browse the internet as much as I want. I close Fusion and try to connect to my printer via wireless and nothing.
In order to get Apple to help do I need to get a Network Analyzer and capture packets when I have these problems? Out of the 1000 + posts is there a consolidation of which answer is the best? BTW I am accessing the internet via a wireless connection using Fusion and Windows 7.
In response to Linc's comments, I will look at the router specifications however I did not qualify that these devices are not using the wireless connection at the same time. Right now I would guess there are maybe two (2) or three (3) at the most that are actively transmitting / receiving information. -- Thanks

Need help with a calculated column - is there any way to reference a value in the current row?

Hey guys,
I'm a bit of a DAX newbie, and I'm running into a block. I'm creating a Power View report about IT tickets. We are going to be creating a cube to automate the data soon, I'm currently working with a flat Excel Data Table of data to demonstrate the Power
View reporting capabilities to the team. I need the default display to show the top 4-5 items basked on the Ticket Count. The three applicable columns I'm using are the TicketID, the ContactReason, and the AssetCategory - all three are
text. One slide will show the top five Contact Reasons by Ticket Count, and the other will show the top five Categories by Ticket Count. The users will see this default view, but will be able to change it to see differently ranked items or can clear the
ranking slicer altogether.
What I've accomplished so far is to create the Calculated Field [Ticket Count] = COUNTA(Table1[TicketID])
And 2 other calculated fields:
[Contact Rank] = RANKX(ALL(Table1[ContactReason]),[Ticket Count],,,DENSE)
[Asset Rank] = RANKX(ALL(Table1[AssetCategory]),[Ticket Count],,,DENSE)
If I were creating a Pivot Table, this would be great. These fields calculate everything the right way. The problem is, I need to have a Rank slicer on each slide and the calculation by itself contains no data - with no data, there's nothing to slice. I
realized I need to actually have columns of data so I can create a slicer. I need each row of the table to show the same [Contact Rank] for every instance of a particular ContactReason (and the same for the [Asset Rank] and AssetCategory).
The RANKX formulas pasted into the Calculated Column section only show a value of 1 - with no Pivot table summarizing the fields, it's counting each row's ticket once, giving every line the tied Rank of #1.
I've solved the problem in Excel by creating 2 Pivot Tables on a separate sheet that have the data field and the calculated field for ContactRason and AssetCategory. Then on my Excel Data Table, I've added two columns that do a VLOOKUP and pull over a the
Calculated Rank from each Pivot Table that match the ContactReason and AssetCategory fields. This works on the flat Excel Data Table now, but will not be a solutions when we start pulling the data from the cube (and there is no flat table).
What I think I need is an Expression for the RANKX formula that can give me, for each row, the count of all of the times a ContactReason shows up in an entire column. There's only about 100,000 lines of data and each ContactReason or AssetCategory
may show up several thousand times. But if I can get the expression to return that count, then the RANKX formula should work in the Column. If it wasn't a DAX formula, I'd use a COUNTIF and say 'Count the entire ContactReason column anytime it's equal to the
ContactReason on THIS row', but in DAX I don't know how to reference a single value in a row. I've tried the CALCULATE() formula, but it seems like the filter needs a specific value, and doesn't work on a dynamic "cell" value.
Any help would be greatly appreciated! (I hope it all makes sense!)

If I've understood you correctly then the ALLEXCEPT function may be what you're after and it could be applied in a similar way to the following...
=
RANKX(
ALL(Table1),
CALCULATE(
COUNTROWS(table1),
ALLEXCEPT(Table1, Table1[ContactReason])
DENSE
If this has missed the mark, would it be possible to clarify the requirement further?

Michael Amadi

Is there a way to auto fill cells with the exact number in mind?

I am trying to avoid this:
Column "A" is used as a "MATCH(" point for an "INDEX(" formula in another spreadsheet, and although cell A329 says 73.14, which is what the other sheet can identify to populate the particular row five columns over, its really
73.1399999999... thus, not giving me the correct reference and not populating properly.
Is there a solution?
I have about 1,500 rows to go through, I know I can do this manually, one at a time, but I'm pressed for time.
Thanks,
Cris
