Linking files in a summary sheet

is it possible to pull data from several numbers files to a summary file? For example, I have 5 invoices and I want to create a summary invoice that aggregates the information on the 5 separate files. thanks

The described Excel feature is unavailable in Numbers.
Some times ago, I posted a script doing this kind of task.
At this time I don't remember its name.
I will search for it tomorrow.
Now, as I'm tired, I switch off.

Save as PDF in Excel rewrites file when saving multiple sheets

Hello,
I'm having issues saving Excel files to PDF when multiple sheets of a workbook are active. I constantly need to print multiple sheets of a workbook for a service report, but when multiple tabs are highlighted to print/save it will save each sheet as the output file but immediately overwrite the saved file with the next sheet. So if I have four sheets active and go to print/pdf/save to pdf I will briefly see a "processing page" message box for each sheet but in the end I will only have one pdf file of the last active sheet. A single sheet will save beautifully but it's kind of a pain to constantly string together the pdf files. I looked through the Excel forum, but it seems they point anything pdf related back to OS X. I'm running XL 12.1.5 and OS X 10.5.6. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I've been having the same problem... after not finding a solution on this page, I finally found an answer that worked for me. As the Adobe support link below states... change the "Print Quality" to be the same for all sheets, then use the Print dialog box rather than the Save As dialog box. In the Print dialog box, choose the "save as PDF" option" (on the lower left for me). This finally solved my multiple file problem.

Linked file in Asset folder won't read css

I have put a secondary navigation on my master page. Muse automatically uploads the file into an Asset folder on my server. The linked file in the asset folder does not display the css. I tried loading a second css file into the Asset folder (tried uploading both with css folder and by itself to no avail). I also tried linking it with the full url http://www.... but this doesn't work either. The only way to show the link with style sheet is to export the site to Dreamweaver and strip out asset/. My site has 30 pages total and I am adding information on it daily so this is not a good work around.

Nope, as noted in above posts:
All icons look correct (and "get info" shows the proper apps);
I've copied to other drives, zipped, copied, unzipped and opened.
I'll try taking some over to my old G5 and see if there's any luck there.
It seems like in some way the folder was damaged in copying. I need to upgrade my Disk Warrior to work on this OS, that would adjust any directory/database problems.
I suppose I can pay Apple for their support time, but this one is pretty bizarre.

Invoice summary sheet errors in new version-

Until recently I've used Numbers '09 for invoicing and included a 'Summary Sheet' to keep abreast of outstanding amounts.
Screenshot shows what has worked succesfully in Numbers '09 but the same file opened in new version 3.0.1 gives me a red error triangle with the message "The formula contains an invalid reference" - can anybody help please?
Formula from Above screenshot that works in '09 but not in v3:
INDIRECT(A3 & "!Total::B4")

No. Sheets shown in left hand panel are named sequentially and refer to an individual invoice number. So I may have 30+ invoices for a month. Each invoice sheet has a table named Total which has rows for discount, sub total, vat and total owed by a certain date. In this summary sheet I obviously want to refer to each sheet's 'total owed by a certain date' cell and in Numbers '09 the formula was calling each invoice sheet name successfully from column A on this same sheet and then referencing the Total table's correct cell. I'm just trying to be as lazy as poss and when I have a load of invoices to bung on the summary sheet I can just select row above and drag down to populate new rows with sequentially filled invoices numbers with the formula pre-filled.
I've made that sound a lot longer than it probably should have!

Unlocking linked files.

Occasionally I have to edit or use old pdf files that were created by my predecessors, who created the files by linking artwork placed within the file. Ordinarily that wouldn't be a problem, except that the folders containing all the linked files are long gone. When I open the files in Reader, I can zoom in on the images very closely and see that the image in very high resolution, which seems to indicate that there is vector art within the file, but when I open in Illustrator I get the message that says the artwork is no longer located at the indicated link. Is there any way to get this phantom version of the art that is only visible in Reader? I have opened in photoshop and grabbed it that way, but if there is a way to get it still as a vector, that would be better.
Thanks

Sorry for not being more clear. I'm using Illustrator CS6 on a PC. But here's the thing... I don't link files. It's not particularly helpful for what we create—for my purposes embedding is fine.
So I have a large folder of proofs for customers that previous graphic artists put together by linking the customer's artwork into the proof sheet, but the folder containing all these linked files is gone. When I open a proof that has a linked file (usually eps or pdf) in Illustrator I get the white placeholder box and the message about the file no longer existing, but when I open the file in Reader I can see the customer's placed artwork in great detail. Maybe I'm just assuming that it is a vector image because of how much I can zoom in on it, and it is actually something else, but it sure acts like vector art in Reader. And if it is, can I get to it so that I can alter it slightly in Illustrator?
What I'm trying to do is find out if there is a somewhat useable vector version of the placed artwork floating around somewhere within this PDF that I can get to, because it seems to be in the file for display/and printing through Reader, but not there for Illustrator.

ID CS4 Anti-Alias problems with Linked files

All the linked files i have put into Indesign CS 4 whether they are PSD, Tiff,layered or flat have shown up slightly pixelated. When i print the same file from its native program (in this case Photoshop CS4) the files print clean and crisp and the text and artwork have clean edges but when i link the file into an Indesign CS4 doc and then print it off, the file comes out fairly clean but there are jagged lines on the text and art.
Mac OX 10.4.11
Intel Mac Pro G5
4GB Ram
2X 2.66 Dual Core Intel Xeon
250GB HD

I now understand your question and yes in the graphics tab in my Indesign print settings I have it set to send all data. I exported the indesign file as a high res PDF and the output on the printer was the same. I don't believe its a printer setting because when i switch my display performace from typical to high-res the text and art from the linked file look pixalated. On the layered psd file the text files are not converted and yet when displayed through ID CS4 the text looks fuzzy and slightly pixalated.
Any Help would be greatly appreciated.

Unable to open linked files in new CS3 install

One of my clients just purchased a new PC (Dell Inspiron 537S) with Windows Vista Home Premium to replace his old Inspiron 530 (also running Vista HP). After installing CS3 Design Studio and attaching an external drive loaded with his file archive, all of his Illustrator files which include links load with the following error:
"An error occurred trying to read the linked file "file.xxx". Choose Repair to locate the missing file, Replace to select another file or Ignore to leave the link unchanged."
This shouldn't be unusual, if the path to a linked file has changed, you'd need to point the link to the new path, but clicking Repair or Replace and browsing to the linked file (which invarably is in the same directory as the .ai file, and is usually a .psd which opens just fine in Photoshop) just cycles back to the same error message, ad infinitum. After about 30 tries, I got one of the links to load correctly, resaved the document, thinking that would repair it, but when I opened it again, got the error.
These files were created on multiple computers, and none of the other computers (all with CS3) have ever had any trouble opening them. This despite the drive letter on the external drive being unstable on the old system (would often be J:, K: or L:, and images always worked).
Any new .ai files we create on this file which have links all work fine.
Manually replacing the links in a file is not an option for two reasons:
1. There are thousands of .ai files in this archive, and re-linking images in them will take weeks.
2. It simply doesn't work. I tried ignoring the error on one file to load it, and re-linking the .psd backgrounds to re-save it, and the images still didn't load after re-linking them.
I have already tried doing a factory-restore of the system and reinstalling CS3, making sure that there were no errors in the install. What else might cause this behavior, and how can I resolve it?

What else might cause this behavior, and how can I resolve it?
Outdated permissions on the files from your old computer. Right-click, Properties --> Security --> Advanced, disable Inherit settings from parent folders, chose to copy. After that, delete outdated security keys and assign current ones. You may even need to go so fart as to Take Ownership of some files to correctly restore the new system's default security settings.

Adding Hyperlinks to text on a Summary Sheet in Powerpoint

Hi
I have a slide show that features No buttons, for questions 1- 10, If a user clicks a No button it prints a row of text with help for that particular topic.
Im using vba to generate the wording and code for the summary page, see below
Code for the No button is below
Sub No1(button As Shape)
If button.Fill.ForeColor.RGB <> RGB(128, 100, 162) Then
button.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(128, 100, 162)
Else
button.Fill.ForeColor.RGB = RGB(255, 255, 255) ' default white colour
        End If
        q1Answered = False
        If q1Answered = False Then
        numIncorrect = numIncorrect + 1
        answer1 = "1. Answer to question 1 - Click Here for Further Help" & vbCr 'ADDED
        End If
End Sub
Code for the summary page is below
Sub SummarySlide1() 'Summary Page for Create ADDED
    Dim printableSlide As Slide
    Dim homeButton As Shape
    Dim printButton As Shape
    Set printableSlide = _
    ActivePresentation.Slides.Add(Index:=summarySlideNumber1, _
Layout:=ppLayoutText)
    printableSlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 9
    printableSlide.Shapes(1).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = _
    vbCr & vbCr & vbCr & userName & _
    vbCr & "The following areas have been highlighted as one(s) which need development"
    printableSlide.Shapes(2).TextFrame.TextRange.Font.Size = 8.5
    printableSlide.Shapes(2).TextFrame.TextRange.Text = _
        answer1 & vbCr & answer2 & vbCr & answer3 & vbCr & answer4 & vbCr & answer5 & vbCr & _
        answer6 & vbCr & answer7 & vbCr & vbCr & answer8
        ActivePresentation.SlideShowWindow.View.GotoSlide 40
        MsgBox " Please Remember to Print Your Results before you leave this Page "
    ActivePresentation.Saved = True
End Sub
So what you end up with on the summary sheet is all the NO's the user has clicked
for example
1. Answer to question 1 - Click Here for Further Help
What i'd like to do is turn the click here part in this text into a hyperlink to another web page
Is there a way to do this using vba?
Any help would be appreciated
Thanks
Jinks

Hi Jinks,
For this requirement, you could add a textbox with text: Click here, then use
Hyperlink Object to add click action.
With ActivePresentation.Slides(1).Shapes(3) _
.ActionSettings(ppMouseClick)
.Action = ppActionHyperlink
.Hyperlink.Address = "http://www.microsoft.com"
End With

Can I open .ai file w/ text editor and edit linked file path?

I want to relink a placed file in a lot of illustrator files to a new file with a different name. I've tried setting up various actions but it is not doing what I need. If I open the file in a text editor such as Notepad++ or Text Wrangler, I can find the linked file path in two places, if I edit this path and save the file (still with .ai extension) I thought the link would change, but when I reopen the file, it does not change. Any ideas?
If I make an action to relink a file, the action will only place a new file but not replace the old one. I also can't get it to place into a specific layer.
Any ideas?

CSS files are plain text with no links, so what you see is all there is.
In order to apply CSS to HTML, you need a <link> tag in your HTML.
If you install the Web Developer Extension from the Firefox add-ons site, there is a handy "Edit CSS" sidebar that lets you play with style rules and see the effects live. Note that this pane is not saved, so if you switch tabs, you lose your changes. Make sure to copy out any changes you want to remember.

Can't save BISM file pointing to excel sheet (data source). ErrMsg: "There were errors found while validating the page: Cannot connect to the server or database."

Hi,
Me and a collegue is administrering our new enterprise BI portal in SharePoint 2013 (On Premise) and have a problem with using a specific Excel file including general ledger data as data source through a BISM file.
This particular BISM file can't be saved without getting the error message "There were errors found while validating the page: Cannot connect to the server or database."
BISM files against other Excel sheets and sources (for example SSAS tabular databases) works well.
Can anyone help us pinpointing whats wrong here, this is a really important stakeholder in our organization requesting this reporting?
Cheers!

Can you place linked files into Photoshop CS4?

If you place a .psd or .tif file into an InDesign file, you are alerted if any changes are made to that file (as I'm sure most of you know). Is there any way to do this within Photoshop? I have several dozen carpet sample .tif files that are to be used in several hundred "montage" type "carpet sample groups" layered .psd files that will then be saved as images for the web (does that make sense?). Is there any way to do this so that if there's a change in the original .tif file it will automatically change any .psd file in which it's being used? I know the easiest way to do this is in InDesign, but I have two problems: 1) the conversion from InDesign to a web image is laborious, and 2) the person doing the work does not know InDesign at all. I can show him how to use it, but that's a small part of the battle.
Any suggestions? I'm using CS4 for Windows.
Thanks,
Lloyd

Thanks for your comments. The problem arises because we have to create that intermediate Photoshop step.
We have, say, a dozen individual carpet swatches that are used to create hundreds of combinations (which are all separate layered .psd files). If one swatch changes (color, for example), then we have to open every .psd file in which that swatch appears and change it (or place the changed one). I'd love to be able to change the original and have it update every layered file in which it appears, just like InDesign does with placed/linked files.
Maybe there's a plug-in (wishful thinking)?
Also, I'd really like to have it changed in the web development end of things, but we're working with a company that is (obviously) using templates and we can only give them single images, hence the need to create the intermediate Photoshop files.

How do I create a summary sheet of Group values without using a subreport?

Hello,
I have a report (CR 2011 over MySQL) that churns through a lot of data. It presents information in the Details section and the Group Footer section. I want to include a summary sheet as the first page that only shows the Group Footer data. The only way I've figured out how to accomplish this is by putting the same report as a subreport into the Report Header and then suppressing the details section. I don't like this approach because the same data-intensive report is actually running twice now.
I can't just use the "Hide" feature in the Details Section because when I run the report (from the .NET viewer) none of the details print. To print the details I would have to double-click on each Group Footer which launches a new tab with the details for that particular group only.
I know how to create shared variables so not sure if that can play a part.
Thanks in advance for tips in keeping this to one report with a summary page!
Mark

Hi Mark,
What kind of summary functions do you use on the Group Footer? As long as they're basic summaries (no print time functions etc), you could just move them to the Group Header. The Group header can then serve as your 'Summary sheet'.
If these are printime functions that you're dealing with, then there isn't another way other than using a Subreport to show the Summary sheet. The Subreport itself does not need to be against the same dataset though.
To speed it up, you could perhaps, create a Stored proc that does all the Summarization and use those columns on the report.

How to make the images show up on a linked file in Muse?

I am wondering how to get my images to show up on the linked files in Muse. Basically, in Muse, I have a page that links to other pages I designed in Dreamweaver. I put the images in the image folder and when I upload the site, the page links to the Dreamweaver page ok but the images are missing. This is a vital part of the site. Any suggestions?

If you made the pages with Dreamweaver then they should be on your system some place and you could make a "dreamweaver" folder inside your Muse site and upload the pages to that folder using the upload files option... see this thread talks about sound files but almost any file can be imported to muse
I need a recommendation for a slick way to embed audio
Another option is to link across to an online resource using the built in muse html editor but that has pit falls because once you link yourself outside the site you also lose some control of the content;
For an example of this have a look at an old demo page I made http://chec-garry2.businesscatalyst.com/index.html
When you click on the Brahminy Kite bird you are looking at what used to be called an Iframe but the problem of control is highlighted when you click the Blue Wren and sometimes get pop up adds… I could import the Blue Wren page into my Muse site to fix this issue and in your case that’s a good option but I didn’t because I don’t have copyright over that pages contents and didn’t want to steal someone else’s work.
p.s. if you have got a demo of the website/ pages online someplace that would help us see your problem.

Is there a way for photoshop to AUTO UPDATE all linked files after modified?

Using the new Photoshop 2014 (version).
This is a very frustrating task for anyone using a lot of linked files.
As a web developer, I may have 50 files that contain one linked element. If I go edit that element, I then have to find the layer on each and every file it's contained in and click "Update Modified Content". There HAS to be an easier way. I really hope I'm missing something here.
Thanks to everyone looking to help.

OK. Now I see what you meant.
And you correctly understand workaround instruction. The problem is it does not work and I don't know why.
I'm not so familiar with Automator and indeed seldom use it except for a simple services wrapper under 10.6. So I don't know of any workflows off the shelf which use "Ask for Confirmation" action. But it is easy to create a workflow that, for instance, consists of "Ask for Confirmation" action only and is set to receive no input or input from Finder or input from other application and test to see if it gets keyboard focus. As far as I can tell, this action obtains keyboard focus automatically.
Here's another workaround you may try. Replace the "Ask for Confirmation" action with a "Run AppleScript" action with the following contents. This will show similar dialogue to let you choose two options.
on run {input, parameters}
    tell application "Finder"
        activate
        display dialog "Are you sure?" with title "Permanently delete"
    end tell
    return input
end run
The workflow will look like this.
Regards,
H
