Linking Text Cells in more than one direction-NUMBERS

I am building a workbook template that has around 10 pages for estimating, everything is working rather well even though this is my first time using numbers. Currently i have 3 "notes" cells  on the second page  that will copy individually into other pages(3,4,5,) what im wanting to do is make this bi directional, meaning if on page 3,4,or 5 i decide to add something to the note i can and it will add into the origional cells on the second page. 2 of these notes also have a pop-up menu that copys in an ajacent cell with them onto pages 4 and 5. Can this be made bi directional also?

Hi McMiRA,
I don't see how this is possible. In order for a cell to read another cell there has to be a formula in it. If you enter data into that cell you destroy the formula.
My understanding of best practices is to try to segregate input tables, data tables and summary tables. The thinking is that if you enter data in a table with formulas it is easy to overwrite a formula if you click the wrong cell. I personally don't always follow this advice but I like to have one place to enter data. It is also nice to have a summary table all by its lonesome on a sheet for a quick read.

  • Why can't I send a text message to more than one contact?

    With all my previous cell phones I was able to send a single text message to more than one contact. With the iPhone I can only send to one contact and then I have to type the text message again and send to another contact, and so on. Or am I messing a fuction on the iPhone that allows for sending a text message to more than one contact?

    No, you are not missing it. That feature is not available on the iPhone.

  • Text that spans more than one cell in a JTable

    Hi all.
    I have a JTable where I've altered the renderer so that it looks like I have columns that span more than one cell.
    e.g.: http://i.imgur.com/RSGOh.png
    From that image though you will notice that the text (which is based in a JLabel) is truncated.
    I need this text to span the available cells so was wondering about the best way of doing it.
    I could:
    1) When I know that the text won't fit, don't draw anything at all with the renderer but make a note of it and then in the paintComponent method of the JTable, paint the text in the appropriate position once the rendering has been done.
    2) Provide a custom renderer that draws as much of the text as possible up to the right edge, and then have an adjacent cell renderer paint the rest.
    3) Use a different TableUI that when I know I need to span, uses a special renderer to stamp over the spanned cells...
    4) other methods???
    I was going to attempt choice 1) but thought I'd ask here first in case someone has had experience in this and knows the "correct" way to do it.
    Is this the right way to go about it?
    Thanks, Nick.

    // Allow selection to span one contiguous set of rows, visible columns, or block of cells
    table.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);
    // Allow multiple selections of rows, visible columns, or cell blocks
    table.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.MULTIPLE_INTERVAL_SELECTION);

  • I cant text chat with more than one person

    I can normally text chat just fine, but when i try to invite more than one person to chat, i get the following error message
    Couldn’t request chatroom “[screenname here] 619401”. (Your message is too long to be sent. Please shorten it.)
    (obviously where it says screenname here, thats my screen. all lowercase letters, no spaces or weird characters.
    the weird thing is if someone else invites me to a multi person text chat, it works just fine. i just cant initiate it. any suggestions???

    Here is how I initiate a text chat.
    (0) Click on one of my buddy names in my Buddy List to highlight it.
    (1) ⌘ click on the next buddy I want to add to highlight him, too.
    (2) Repeat the ⌘ clicks for all the other buddies I want in the chat.
    (3) Click the "A" at the bottom of my buddy list to initiate the multiple-party chat.
    Try that, and see if it works for you. If you can make it work for two, it should work for more.

  • Can a Table Cell span more than one page?

    I'm working with tables in Pages to create a list of literature and important takeaways from each article. Sometimes the important information is more than I can fit on one page. However, Pages doesn't seem to be able to handle splitting cells across multiple pages. Instead, it seems to "push" the overflow text beyond the page, so I can't even see it as I'm typing.
    In Word, such situations just cause the table cell to continue on to the next page. But I can't figure out how to do that in Pages. (And I'm a little concerned that there's not a way to handle this.)
    Thanks!
    Gary

    The cell in question does split across 2 pages. "Do I need to" do that isn't really the point.
    My question was whether Pages can handle splitting a table cell across 2 pages.
    Pages can't; Word can.
    (I'm trying to switch over for all of my future work into Pages, so there's a learning curve for me. The type of work I'm doing does have cells that split over 2 pages. In Word, it's not a big deal. Unfortunately, in Pages, I need to split the row in order to do the same thing. Which is kind of a pain, since I'm building the table dynamically and may insert rows above, below or between existing rows. In Word, it automatically handles moving the cells across multiple pages - or merging them back if I edit the text or insert/remove rows above.)

  • How can a table cell span more than one page?

    I need to configure a table of text that permits a single cell containing a large quantity of text to automatically span several pages. This works easily in WORD but not (apparently) in PAGES. I have used the Inspector to check that the table is configured to "Automatically resize to fit content", and that text also wraps in the cells. However, when text entered into a cell reaches the bottom of the page it disappears from view, even though more text can still be added to thst cell. Thus, the contents of the cell do not automatically flow into view on the next page (as automatically does happen in Microsoft Word). The "Pages08 User Manual", page 177, makes no reference to this facility. Neither does the video tutorial on Pages tables. Furthermore, I can find nothing in the "Template Chooser" that I can adapt to my needs. I very much doubt that this is a real limitation in Pages software - so what I am doing wrong?

    Thanks, Peter. Okay, I have tried this but without too much success.
    I set up a landscape, two column page and imported the Russian text. That resulted in 13 pages of Russian text, in both left and right columns. I then added the English at the end of the Russian and now have 26 pages in total. Then, as you suggest, I inserted a Column Break after the Russian. This forced the English to begin afresh on page 14.
    Now I need to find a way of keeping all the Russian text in the left column of all the 26 pages so that I can have the corresponding English translation adjacent in the right column (for all pages 1 - 26). I have explored your suggestion of Layout Breaks but think I have either misunderstood you, or I am doing something fundamentally wrong!
    Okay, so now I need to be a little more specific to help you visualize the problem. On my page 1, left column, I have three paragraphs of Russian. Para 4 begins close to the bottom of the left column and flows, as expected into the right-hand column of page 1. Now, if I insert a Layout Break at the end of para 3, I find paras 1-3 are uniformly shared across both the left and right columns. Para 4 stays in the left column, and understandably has moved up somewhat, but para 5, following correctly below para 4 in the left column now flows into the right column, following on from the end of para 3. There are no visual breaks, so now my page 1 left column reads paras 1, 2, first part of 3, then 4 and first part of 5, while the right column now shows the second part of para 3 and the the second part of para 5. This is confusing to understand and confusing to read. This is no good at all.
    Inserting a Section Break after para 3 results in para 4 beginning in the left column of page 2 and the whole of the right column of page 1 remains blank. It also seems that that right column is now rendered inaccessible and so I will not be able to put the English of paras 1- 3 into it so that they are adjacent to the Russian paras 1-3 in the left column of page 1.
    Inserting a Page Break instead of a Section Break produces the same effect.
    In conclusion, I am still stumped. To keep all the Russian in the left column of all 26 pages, I would need to insert a page break at the end of every page .... but then there would seem to be no way to insert the English into the corresponding right-hand columns, beginning of course on page 1. I am surprised that such a fundamentally useful word-processing facility is so complex (or perhaps impossible) in Pages.
    Thanks, again, Peter. I have to say that you have been more helpful and informed than any others that have tussled with me over this difficulty.

  • Text variable over more than one line

    Hi,
    I want to use text variables in table cells. But if the content of the variable is to long to fit in one line, then InDesign hides the complete content of the variable. I thing, this is a "no-go" for text variables. What, if it currently fits and then I increase the character size so that it will not fit? Ughhhhh!
    Is there a work-a-round for this problem?
    What do you think about it?
    Should this behaviour changed in future releases of InDesign?
    With Greetings from Germany

    (sorry about my not really good english)

    What I've done in the past is
    Find out how many characters per line.
    Setup character style called VarLine 1, VarLine 2, VarLine 3 etc.
    Set up a paragraph style for your text.
    Go to the nested style.
    VarLine 1 up to # characters
    VarLine 2 up to # characters
    VarLine 3 up to # characters
    etc.
    Set up your Variables for
    Line 1
    Line 2
    Line 3
    Then set each one to pick up the appropriate VarLine character style.
    This works to a certain extent, it will need tweaking, as each application is different. I'm not sure if it will work in your case, but you never know.
