Linking one Numbers file to another???

I want to link the formulas from one Numbers file to another seperate and distinct Numbers file - can I????

D,
Yo can link a table to another in the same sheet or different sheet in the same file, but there is no provision for linking a table in one file to that in another file.

  • Retrieve data from one numbers file and insert it in another?

    My goal is this:  I want to essentially link two numbers files.  I need data from several different tables in different sheets to automatically populate cells in a totally separate numbers file. 
    Here is why:  I have very detailed orders that all feed (link) to summary pages that are shared with clients.  I also need that same summary information, however, to feed to another file that calculates the margins.  The summary pages (sometimes dozens of pages) are critical for clients to see, but as you can imagine, the margins tables must never be seen by the clients. My preference is to have them be totally separate files so it eliminates the possibility of the margins table every being accidentally sent to clients.
    I'm wondering if applescript is the only or best way to accomplish this, or if there might be a more simple solution.
    Thanks in advance.
    Bob

    It may be done with a script but as I have no info about the structure of the document and about which values must be passed, I can't help you.
    More, I doubt that you are sending the Numbers document to your clients because this app isn't widely used.
    My guess is that you print the file in a PDF.
    The number of pages in the PDF will dramatically change if you include the sheets containing the margins so, it would be easy to check if you built a wrong document.
    To do the trick with a script, it seems that the easiest scheme would be:
    duplicate the original file
    add the columns required for the calculations
    create the formulas and insert them
    copy the relevant columns
    paste them in the original document.
    I'm reluctant to work this way. The risk of errors is too big.
    Here is an alternate scheme.
    In your document, change the layout so that columns which are supposed to be seen by clients are contiguous.
    This way, you may easily hide the columns which you want to keep 'secret'.
    I don't know the way you are working but with a bit of luck, once the formulas are built, maybe you have no need to unhide the 'margins columns'.

  • I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button

    I have a document made up of separate PDF files which reside in a folder and are linked to each other via hyperlinks. Each pdf file is set to open with bookmarks displayed, however if I link from one PDF file to another and use the "Previous View" button to navigate back to my starting point the bookmarks are replaced by "page thumbnails". Is there anyway to stop this from happening?

    Hi Pusman,
    While setting up the links, if you choose to open the file in a new window then you won't face this issue, then you can simply switch to the previous file and bookmark view will remain as it is.
    Does that helps with your query?

  • Place one IDML file inside another one.

    I want to place one or more IDML files into another single IDML "master" file.
    The master file is sort of a template for a site layout. The IDML files I need to embed represent single content boxes with specific layouts. The files for those content boxes are created outside of InDesign with some texts I get from a database.
    To retain those layouts I deemed it best to just place them into another document which is no problem with INDD but just with IDML.
    I managed to link multiple INDD files into the master file in InDesign itself, but can not figure out how to link IDML files. I also found that it is possible to link INDD files into IDML files, just not IDML into IDML.
    I need to be working with IDML as opposed to INDD because I have to be able to manipulate the files in an easy way outside of InDesign.
    Is there any way to link IDML files into other IDML files? Or if not, is there a possibility to convert my IDML files to INDD files without having to use a real instance of InDesign?
    Relevant Lines of code from the master IDML file taken from the Spread.xml file:
    <Link Self="u9f81" AssetURL="$ID/" AssetID="$ID/" LinkResourceURI="file:/path/to/subtemplates/box2.idml" LinkResourceFormat="$ID/InDesign Format Name" StoredState="Normal" LinkClassID="35906" LinkClientID="257" LinkResourceModified="false" LinkObjectModified="false" ShowInUI="true" CanEmbed="true" CanUnembed="true" CanPackage="true" ImportPolicy="NoAutoImport" ExportPolicy="NoAutoExport" LinkImportStamp="file 130505142560000000 1396736" LinkImportModificationTime="2014-07-22T16:50:56" LinkImportTime="2014-07-23T11:42:22" LinkResourceSize="0~155000" />
    If I leave this in and try to open the file in InDesign I get the error message that the linked file type is not supported
    <Link Self="u9f81" AssetURL="$ID/" AssetID="$ID/" LinkResourceURI="file:/path/to/subtemplates/box1.indd" LinkResourceFormat="$ID/InDesign Format Name" StoredState="Normal" LinkClassID="35906" LinkClientID="257" LinkResourceModified="false" LinkObjectModified="false" ShowInUI="true" CanEmbed="true" CanUnembed="true" CanPackage="true" ImportPolicy="NoAutoImport" ExportPolicy="NoAutoExport" LinkImportStamp="file 130505142560000000 1396736" LinkImportModificationTime="2014-07-22T16:50:56" LinkImportTime="2014-07-23T11:42:22" LinkResourceSize="0~155000" />
    If I put this in everything works fine.
    Notes: box1.indd and box2.idml are the exact same files, just saved differently by InDesign. The path to both files is a valid file system path and has full read/write access.

    Thank you for your reply. I already know that it is possible to edit IDML files, which is what I am already doing.
    What I am now looking for is a way to place one IDML file into another one like you are able to do with INDD files.
    Which file format should I use insted then? It must be editable outside of InDesign because I need to be able to change texts and stylings within the file.

    That possibly means you have to have InDesign Server to integrate in your workflow.
    That's the exact thing I am trying to avoid here.

  • In Pages 5.0.1. is there any way to link one pages document to another pages document.  If so, How?

    Is Pages 5.0.1 is there any way to link one Pages document to another Pages document?  If so, Please, How?

    Well, you could trade it in for a white one! 
    First, try a system reset.  It cures many ills and it's quick, easy and harmless...
    Hold down the on/off switch and the Home button simultaneously until the screen blacks out or you see the Apple logo.  Ignore the "Slide to power off" text if it appears.  You will not lose any apps, data, music, movies, settings, etc.
    If the Reset doesn't work, try a Restore.  Note that it's nowhere near as quick as a Reset.  From iTunes, select the iPad/iPod and then select the Summary tab.  Follow directions for Restore and be sure to say "yes" to the backup.  You will be warned that all data (apps, music, movies, etc.) will be erased but, as the Restore finishes, you will be asked if you wish the contents of the backup to be copied to the iPad/iPod.  Again, say "yes."

  • Copy one text file to another text file and delete last line

    Hi all wonder if someone can help, i want to be able to copy one text file to another text file and remove the last line of the first text file. So currently i have this method:
    Writer output = null;
             File file = new File("playerData.xml");
             try {
                   output = new BufferedWriter(new FileWriter(file, true));
                   output.write("\t" + "<player>" + "\n");
                   output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerName>" + playerName + "</playerName>" + "\n");
                   output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerScore>" + pointCount + "</playerScore>" + "\n");
                   output.write("\t" + "\t" + "<playerTime>" + minutes + " minutes " + seconds + " seconds" + "</playerTime>" + "\n");
                   output.write("\t" + "</player>" + "\n");
                   output.write("</indianaTuxPlayer>" + "\n");
                  output.close();
                  System.out.println("Player data saved!");
             catch (IOException e) {
                   e.printStackTrace();
              }However each time the method is run i get the "</indianaTuxPlayer>" line repeated, now when i come to read this in as a java file i get errors becuase its not well formed. So my idea is to copy the original file, remove the last line of that file, so the </indianaTuxPlayer> line and then add this to a new file with the next data saved in it. So i would end up with something like this:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <indianaTuxPlayers>
         <player>
              <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
              <playerScore>0</playerScore>
              <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
         </player>
         <player>
              <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
              <playerScore>0</playerScore>
              <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
         </player>
         <player>
              <playerName>Default Player</playerName>
              <playerScore>0</playerScore>
              <playerTime>null minutes null seconds</playerTime>
         </player>
    </indianaTuxPlayers>
    However after all day searching the internet and trying ways, i have been unable to get anything working, could anyone give me a hand please?

    I would go the XML route too, but for fun, open a file as a BufferedWriter and do this:
    void copyAllButLastLine(File src, BufferedWriter tgt) throws IOException {
        BufferedReader in = new BufferedReader(new FileReader(src));
        try {
            String previous= in.readLine();
            for (String current = null; (current = in.readLine()) != null; previous=current) {
                tgt.write(previous);
                tgt.newLine();
        } finally {
            in.close();
    }

  • One numbers file keeps updating and i can't access it even on icloud.

    Hi eruderu
    Thanks for your post. It set me searching again, as I had the same problem. And contrary to "most of us" I occasionally do use Numbers on Mac and Pad. It appears the problem is not with iOS. Files are uploaded smoothly from the Pad to the Cloud. The problem then is to download it from the Cloud to the Mac.
    And contrary to what Apple seems to suggest, this is not quite seemless. So it appears to be a Numbers/ OSX issue and not iOS.
    The solution I found on the support site was to connect the iPad via USB to the Mac and sync. In which case you may just as well disable iCloud for Number, unless you have more than one iOS machine.
    There appears to be another way to sync it, which comes halfway to the "seemless", as it does not require the USB connection.. It is presented as a sort of afterthought. http://www.apple.com/icloud/features/documents.html)
    1. go to http://www.icloud.com/iwork and sign in with your iTunes account.
    2. go to the Numbers file.
    3 access any file synced from your iOS machine, or drop the file from your iMac that you want to sync.
    Presumably the same goes for Pages and Keynote.
    Hope this helps.

  • I had two files named graphics and I replaced one graphics file with another which was the wrong one.  Can I undo my replacement?  I move the wrong one, which was on my desktop into another one and that is when it as me if I wanted to replace the file.

    I accidently replaced a file with another.  Can I undo my action? 
    I had two files named graphics.  One was on my desktop and another was within another file called solitarie.  I move the one on my desktop (wrong file) into the solitarie file and was asked if I wanted to replace the graphics file in the solitarie folder (the correct one).  I said yes accidently and then remembered that I had made a mistake.  If I use undo, it only move the wrong file back to the desktop.  Is there an undo of replace?

    Sorry, but's that's why you get the warning. "Replace" means just that - the new file over-writes the old one. There is no undo.

  • Digital movie download - can I move it from one iTunes file to another?

    I have gotten several new Blu-ray and DVD sets for Christmas. Included is a digital copy which can be downloaded. Once I download and move it to iTunes, can I export that from one iTunes file on my Mac to another Mac which I own? I haven't been able to find a relevant post.

    CWmain, this is something I'm keen to know too. I've got the new Star Trek and Transformers 2 Blu-ray discs with digital copies. I was hoping I could download the movies to my Mac Pro by redeeming the codes supplied with the discs and once downloaded just copy the resulting download files across to my MacBook Pro. I'm hoping that because both machines are authorised with my iTunes account it should just 'work'. Can anyone confirm this is correct before I go ahead?

  • Can you import a master from one Muse file to another?

    I've got upload space through Comcast, and my homepage and other material are there.  (home.comcast.net/~gregfisk/)
    But I have another site that I uploaded there through Dreamweaver a year ago.  I'd like to update it with Muse.  (www.caption-ator.com)
    But the thing with Muse is, when it exports a site to HTML, it defualts the home page to 'index.html'.  In this case, the caption-ator site info (made with muse) would over-write my main web page.  The same goes for any files that share the same file name, like 'site global.css', and 'sitemap.xml'.
    So I guess I should take the site info from the caption-ator Muse file, and rebuild it in my personal web page. So there will (theoretically) be no conflicts in the file names, and can all be uploaded safely.
    Rather than rebuild the whole Caption-ator muse built site in the Muse file for my personal web  page - is there any way to take a Master page from one Muse file, and import it to another?  That would be a HUGE time saver.  My first instinct would be to take the Muse tab for my personal web page, and the Muse tab for the Caption-ator web page, then drag and drop the Master from the Caption-ator page to the personal web page.  But Muse doesn't seem to allow for tabs to be kept separate like that.
    Any advice is apprecaited.

    If you still have the .muse file for the template you want you can open it up in Muse 'Select All' --> Copy.
    Open your destination blank template and paste it. You can have bothe muse files up in Muse at the same time.

  • Multiple Mac accounts edit one numbers file

    Can two accounts(login) on the same Macbook access and edit the same Numbers file? If so, how? thanks

    Hello
    After several attemps, I think that the best soluce is to work with several HD or several partitions on the internl HD.
    Store the documents on a volume which is not the startup one and every user will be able to work with them.
    If you own a single HD and if the machine is intet inside, you may create a partition on the fly.
    If the machine is not intel inside and have a single disk, partitionning will require a preliminary backup.
    Then you will have to
    start from the install disk,
    create the partitions with Disk Utility,
    install the system on one partition
    restore anything on this partition
    When the complementary partition is available, move the documents to share on the alternate partition.
    It's a bit boring the first time but after that, it is really comfortable.
    I have three physical drives so I didn't took care of this kind of problem: I never store documents on the startup volume

  • Moving Clips One prel file to another

    I have seen no downside to removing un-used sections of a Project, and then doing either a Save_As, or Save_As_a_Copy. Do NOT do a Save, when you have removed those sections, or you will overwrite your original Project file - something that you do not want to do.
    I use this workflow often. An example would be when I create an intro, or outro, in a Project, and realize that it has use in other Projects. I will clean out that Project, leaving only those segments, that will likely be needed later on, and still in an editable mode. I then do a Save_As (if I want to keep that "new" Project Open, in Premiere), or a Save_As_a_Copy, if I just want it available later. For some more detail on the differences between the various Saves, see this ARTICLE.
    Good luck, and a good point.
