IWORK 09-NUMBERS -HOW TO COPY AND PASTE A VARIABLE TO CELLS IN OTHER SHEETS

IN EXCEL I USED COPY IN THE CEL WITH THE VARIABLE AND THEN" PASTE SPECIAL" IN THE OTHER CELLS.WHEN CHANGING THE VARIABLE ALL THE OTHER CELLS TOOK OVER THIS VALUE AND USED IT IN FORMULAS.
IS THERE ANY METHOD IN NUMBERS TO DO THE SAME ?

This thread provides an excellent example of the need to clarify the question before jumping in with an answer.
There's also some misinformation in the post quoted below. The rest of this post addresses ONLY the specific post below, NOT the original question.

This is annoying. A work around I found is to make the cells absolute so that the referenced cells do not move when you paste.
I don't see this as a 'workaround,' but as the manner in which Copy Paste is designed to work. If you Cell addresses are considered as 'cell locations relative to the current cell' unless the reference is specified as being an absolute address. If you want to Copy & Paste a formula to a different cell and have the pasted formula use the same referenced cells as the original, you can select and copy the formula from the Formula Bar at the top. This copies the formula as text, which remains the same wherever you paste it.
So if your formula refers to cell B1+B2 and you copy it and paste one cell down your formula then reads C1+C2. To keep your formula always pointed to B1 and B2 it needs to be absolute. $B$1+$B$2. This way you can copy and paste your formula without changing the reference points.
Actually if you copy the cell containing =B1+B2, then paste it one cell right, the formula in the new cell will be =C1+C2.
if you copy the cell containing =B1+B2, then paste it one cell down, the formula in the new cell will be =B2+B3.
Once copied and pasted you can go to the formula bar at the top highlight the cell reference and simply click on the cell you want referenced.
$B$1+$B$2 highlight a cell reference then click on new cell to make formula read $B$1+C2 then change C2 to be absolute if you want.
You will see a small arrow drop down when you cross the cell reference on the right side to change absolute or relative values. Time consuming and frustrating I know.
Time consuming, yes. But what's consuming the time is translating the vertical movement (down) of the formula to a horizontal movement (right- from B2 to C2) of the formula's cell reference. Relative cell references move the reference in the same direction as the formula is moved.

Copy and Paste Formula from One Cell to Multiple (How?)

I am aware of the "autofill" function by dragging the bottom-right corner of a cell containing a formula.
However, I cannot possibly do this if I want to copy the formula and paste it into 10,000 cells.
If I specify a range of cells to paste the copied formula - only the first cell gets it. I have seen this problem in previous iWork for a long time but am surprised Apple has not improved it (or made it obvious enough for me to get it at first sight).
Thanks!

Hello
It's really boring to read several times the same comments: +When I use Autofill on formulae to copy them into empty rows I end up with little red triangles saying it isn't a valid formula. In Excel and Lotus 123 I can just use Ctrl-C and Ctrl-V to copy and paste into as many cells as I want, why not Numbers?+
Here we are not Apple employees so you are loosing your time and also the time of all of us reading your posts.
Of course we may let them unread. But as old helpers, we always assume that when someone post something, it's to ask a question to which one of us may give a answer.
Your flames are perfectly useless.
If you wish that Apple take care of your opinion, go to "Provide Numbers Feedback" in the "Numbers" menu and describe your wishes.
Happily, one poster make me laugh when he wrote that "this anomaly is a long time one in iWork".
I really don't understand how an application which is in version 1.0 or 1.0.1 may contain a "long time" anomaly !!!!
And the only responce I may give to all of you is: *if you can't live with this feature, stay with E…l.*
*We will not miss you !!*

How to copy and paste the graphics from illustrator to MS word. What I tried is exporting in png with highest resolution and then inserting in to word. This loses a bit of resolution in comparison to direct copy and paste as EMF. But if I do a copy and paste, and then take a print of the document, all the graphs and text is printed upside down, flipped back.

Hi DG.
The easiest way to copy an HP Photo Creations project to another computer is to click the Share button. That will upload the project to the Web and give you a link you can paste into an email. Clicking the link on the other computer allows you to download the project and personalize it. This quick video shows the process. (The screen looks slightly different now, but the concept is the same.)
Another way to share a project is copy the project folder to a thumb drive. Look in Documents/HP Photo Creations/My Things to find your saved projects.
Our customer support team would be happy to walk you through the process. Contact them at [email protected]
Hope this helps,

How to copy and paste a single pixel

How to copy and paste a single pixel
I want to copy a single pixel and then paste it in the
position of
another pixel in the same image.
(This is in effect changing the colour of the target pixel,
isn't it.
But in my case copying an existing pixel seems simpler than
selecting a
colour from the swatch or using the colour picker.)
What is the most efficient way of doing this?
I tried to select one pixel with the marquee tool. Then
copied it with
control-C, but then how do I select the target pixel and
paste with
control-V?
Thanks for your help.

I am a new iPad user. I cannot figure out how to copy and paste from a website to a pages document, and vice versa. Any ideas?

Long press on the text you would like to select (tapping and holding) and then release after the magnifying glass shows up. This will select a single word. Then use the blue dots and drag them to select a region of test. Then press "copy". Open pages, and long press and release where you would like to paste. Then select "paste". That should paste the text.
If the text doesn't select within the browser, it might be an uncopyable format. Like if the text was within an image, naturally you would be unable to select it. The only thing to do there is long press the image and selecting "save image", adding it to your camera roll. Then you could insert the image within pages.

How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

How to copy and paste the text in Russian - 'command+c' erases it

I want to publish a book with Blurb. They don't have Russian fonts, so I have to type the text in Russian in Notes in my iPad, send it to my e-mail box, and then open the e-mail box in Mac, and copy and paste the text into the book template of Blurbs. I don't know how to make a Russian keyboard in Mac to be able to type quickly. I asked about it in the Apple store, and they showed me how to find a Russian keyboard in the net, but it takes much time to type using a screen keyboard, and the texts also cannot be copied and pasted, when they are in Russian. They are erased when I press 'command+C", and all I have is a single letter 'c' instead. No problems with texts in English. Maybe Russian is not supported for copying and pasting?:(

How to copy and paste a photo in another folder using Aperture?

How to copy and paste a photo in another folder using Aperture?

What do you want to achieve? Do you really want to create a copy of an image, and thus create a second copy of the master image file? You will waste disk space this way.
Usually you would create new versions of an image, if you want versions with different adjustments. Versions do not require much additional disk space. But all versions of an image have to be in the same project. To create a new version: Main menu bar -> Photos -> Duplicate Version
To create a copy of an image in another project (and to waste the space ) drag the image to another project while holding down the option key. This will create a copy in the other project.
Sofar nobody here could come up with a good reason why one would want to create a copy. I am curious what in your workflow requires you to do that. Would you mind to tell us?

How to copy and paste in Adobe ios?

How to copy and paste in Adobe ios?

Hi alvintheartist,
Please try the following steps.
Press & hold your finger over text in a PDF document.
Move the blue circle "grabbers" (handles) to expand/reduce the text selection.
Select Copy from the context menu that pops up.
You can paste the copied text into other iOS app or the Search field in Adobe Reader for iOS.
Please note that you cannot paste text directly to a PDF document (because Adobe Reader for iOS is not a PDF editor). However, you can add text annotations to a PDF document.
If you are not able to select text at all, it is highly likely that your PDF document is a scanned PDF (that contains no text).
Please let us know if you have additional questions.

How to copy and paste files to Time Capsule

I thought it could be used as an external disk.
Do you guys know how to copy and paste files directly into Time Capsule?

I thought it could be used as an external disk.
An external disk...also known as a local disk....connects directly to a computer using USB or FireWire.
The Time Capsule is a network disk, since it connects direct to a network. As such, it s a SHARED network device
Open a Finder window and look for the SHARED heading on the left side of the window. The Time Capsule icon should appear there. Click on the Time Caspule icon.
A folder, representing the Time Capsule drive named "Data" (unless you have changed the name of the drive) will appear to the right
Double click on "Data" to mount the Time Capsule drive on the desktop. You may need to click "Connect As" and enter the Time Capsule device password the first time that you do this.

Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010

I am Having Trouble Copy and Pasteing Local Variable in LabVIEW 2010 in s subVI.
I have a VI that has a Local Variable called "Node Addr". I can select it OK, and it appears to Copy OK, But when I go to paste it, nothing appears. It doesn't matter if I use Cntrl-C Cntrl-V or the Copy and Paste from the Edit menu, I get the same results. I tried many times and got the same results. I made sure that I had click a paste location. I can insert the Local Variable if I use the Data Communication panel.
On one of the Paste, I got an error in the error list that said that a Local Variable was not connected to anything. When I clicked on the error, it took me to an insible item in the lower right corner of the block diagram that had nothing but a select box around it. I couldn't select the invisible item, but I could delete it.
Why does the copy and paste of this local variable not work?
Why does the paste cause the insertion of an invisible item?

My VI is fairly complicated. In several places in the VI, I am either reading or writing to this variable which is an numeric Indicator on the Front Panel. Using local variables seems to be the best way to handle this situation rather that using wiring all over the VI. Since the VI is mainly a State Machine and there are only 2 Writes to the local variable, I am not afraid of race conditions in this case. NO!! While you may think that using Locals is your solution to wiring, it is not! The fact that you are writing and reading, most likely from several places, will most definitely contribute to a race condition. Depending on your implemetation, you should ALWAYS use wires. The wires are the variable. If you are using a loop (While, For), then using shift registers are appropriate means for routing values so that they are used by other sections of the code, later. One thing you must respect with LabVIEW is the dataflow. That's where Locals often fail.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.
I am not copying the Local Variable from one VI to another.
The Data Communication panel is one of the panels that shows up in the Functions pop up list when editing the Block Diagram. It is the panel that includes the Local Variable function.
I don't know if the invisible item that was inserted in my block diagram was hidden or not. All I know is that the Errors List said that it was a Local Variable and that it was not connected to anything. I couldn't select it to get more information. All I could do was delete it.
You did not address my questions about why the Copy and Paste does not work properly for my Local Variable. Maybe it's a sign from the Software Gods not to use them LOL!..
So if I understand correctly, you are trying to copy & paste the Local Variable from within the same VI. How large is your block diagram? Did you try right-click on the variable and select "Find > Local Variables"? If it's a block diagram larger than 1 single screen (which it shouldn't), then it is possible that the Local is hiding beyond the screen. You should find it as I described earlier.
See my comments in red above.
