Lookup in different spreadsheet

Is it possible to do a VLOOKUP using INDIRECT to specify a range in another spreadsheet? I can't figure out how to do it.

How do you reference cells on a different spreadsheet?

I would like to reference or lookup data in cells on a different spreadsheet/workbook. Is there a way to do this? I do not mean referencing a cell on a sheet within a single spreadsheet/workbook.

Sorry, but you can't reference a value in another document. And by that I mean one that was saved with a different name. You can combine your related sheets into one document and make references between the sheets, but not between different documents.

How do I save data in different spreadsheets inside an excel file?

I am already able to save data into an excel file, but how can I instead send the data separated into segments, where each segment is placed on a different spreadsheet on the excel file I specify.

In the ActiveX examples that ship with LV there is a good example of how to control Excel. Part of the process of opening a Excel file is to open the workbook (Excel document) and then open a specific worksheet (spreadsheet).
Try experimenting with that example and you should be able to figure out how to select different worksheets. If you still have trouble give another holler.

How to create a link between 2 cells in different spreadsheets?

when using numbers on MacBook Pro/IOS X - how to create a link between 2 cells in different spreadsheets?

In the cell where you want the duplicate data to appear from another sheet/table do the following:
type the equal sign ("=") then click the cell you in the sheet table while contents you want to appear in the cell where you just typed the equal sign"
it reads "The cell I click equals the result of the formula or the contents of the next cell I click"

Linking cells in different spreadsheets

I need to link cells from different spreadsheets but cannot find a command in Numbers to do this. In Excel it is "Copy" from the first spreadsheet and then "Paste Special" into the second spreadsheet. I cannot find this function in any of the manuals or help files.
Does anyone know how to accomplish this?

Is it a living link that you wish to get ?
If it is, the response is:
no living link between different documents.
Between two tables from the same document, you may build living links.
Assuming that you want to link cell B2 of table 1 of sheet 5
to cell B2 of table 12 of sheet 1
click in cell B2 of table 1 of sheet 5
type the character "="
cell B2 of table 12 of sheet 1
press return.
In cell B2 of table 1 of sheet 5 you will get the formula
=sheet 1::table 12 :: B2

Message-Mapping: Use same RFC lookup for different target fields

Hello,
I need to apply an RFC Lookup which delivers a boolean flag back (true or false). This RFC lookup should be used for different target fields.
Is there a way to execute the RFC lookup just once and then store the result in an internediate variable that I can use for all futher checks for different target fields?
If this is not possible and I have to apply the RFC lookup for all necessary target fields is it then executed for each target field ? This is exactly what I want to avoid in order not to slow down performance.
The input parameter (=source field value) would be the same.
Thank you for your advice!

Exactly.
Here is a UDF example I have that you could adapt to your needs.
Set
public String setCounter(String a,String b,Container container){
/* Store values in global datacontainer
a: mapping value and return valueparameter
b: name for stored value parameter
GlobalContainer myGlobalContainer;
myGlobalContainer = container.getGlobalContainer();
myGlobalContainer.setParameter(b.toUpperCase(), a);
return a;
Get
public String getCounter(String a,Container container){
//write your code here
GlobalContainer gc = container.getGlobalContainer();
if (gc.getParameter(a) != null) {
return String.valueOf(gc.getParameter(a));
} else {
return "1";

Different spreadsheet output on French locale

Hi guys,
So I moved some VIs over to another laptop. The laptop language is set to French. Now, my output is different. I changed my laptop language to English, in hopes of having it work properly again. No luck.
Look at the screenshot below:
It is supposed to separate into different columns at those commas.
But in French, a comma is equivalent to the English decimal.
Anybody know how to fix?? Changing to English Operating System does not work.
I attatched VI below.
Thank you all
Solved!

MICROSOFT YOU IDIOTS. CSV=COMMA SEPARATED VALUE. RECOGNIZE THE COMMA AS A SEPARATOR!
Well, in countries with comma as decimal seperator, a comma will not work as field separator. There is no good standard, but as Matt said, using a semicolon as field delimiter sometimes works. (see also this disucssion)
Instead of using csv files, I would recommend to use the default tab delimiter and save the file as *.txt. Excel will have no problem opening it.

3 Waveform Chart to a Single Excel but in Different Spreadsheet

I wanted my waveform chart to export the data to excel which I can easily do by right clicking the chart and export to excel. But I have 3 waveform chart and I want to export it to a single excel file but in different spread sheet. How do I do that with the same result with the conventional "right click method and export"?

For this you probably will need to add some code to your VI to do this instead of right clicking on the chart. You can use the VIs located in the Programming>Report Generation>Excel Specific pane which has tons of stuff for that.
Attached is an example of a basic VI that populates three waveform charts with random data and creates an excel spreadsheet with each chart's data input into a different workbook. This is rough and you can add a lot more functionality if you want depending on your needs. Just take references to all your charts and put them into an array and feed into the for loop.
(Also there are probably better/cleaner ways to do it but this is the best I've got )

How can I add content from a different spreadsheet and thus create a reference between then?

Hello,
I am starting to use Numbers 3.5 in a MacBook Pro Late 2011.
I am trying to find a way to create a reference between spreadsheets.
For instance, I have a spreadsheet for each year to control things at home.
While creating a 2015 version, I can't find a way to make formulas using values from 2014 spreadsheet and make then referenced.
Does anyone know if it is possible and how can I do that?
An observation: using excel I can do that with
'Macintosh HD:Users:gabriel:Documents:Pessoal:2013:[Home 2013.xlsx]Janeiro'!$D$374'
Thank you!!
Gabriel

Hi Gabriel,
I suppose you could cut and paste formula results to a tab in our new spreadsheet document if the vlues you want are contained there. There are some people who have written scripts to import data from different docs. But no, Numbers does not support links between docs.

How do I move a table to a different spreadsheet (or tab)

I have a travel document which used to be three spreadsheets (Resources, Upcoming trips, Old trips), each of which had a separate table for each of my trips with a checklist of the things I need to do to prepare for and complete a trip.
In Numbers 3, the old spreadsheets show up as separate tabs (canvases? I'm not sure of the terminology), and each table is a separate item on that tab/canvas.
I want to be able to move a table (trip) from the Upcoming tab to the Old tab when the trip is over.
How do I move a table from one tab/canvas to another???

James,
Always make copies of your important documents, or use simple scratch documents, when trying suggestions until you are comfortable with them.
It takes a bit of a leap of faith, but I've found that if I Cut (Command-X) a Table or Chart from one Sheet and Paste into another Sheet, that's the same as moving, and all works out well.
Unlike the previous version of Numbers, there doesn't seem to be a way to drag objects from sheet to sheet.

Briefly two different spreadsheets come up when opening numbers on iPad Air

Greetings,
Has anyone seen this when opening Numbers on IOS 7 ?
Been using numbers and its been easy as it should. I shut down apps after use.
- HW/SW Details: iPad Air 128Gb, wifi only. Numbers IOS app 2.2.1(1263) and IOS 7.1.(11D167).
Observation; Sometimes when Numbers is run on iPad Air, a strange thing happens upon initial startup of Numbers.
Typically my steps are like this,
1. Press the green Numbers icon to open
2. For a 1/2 sec or less I see one spreadsheet appear, and then the Spreadsheet/Workbook closes and another opens in its place.
It doesnt happen alot, but enough that I've noticed it half a dozen times.
Its like Numbers has a 'cache' of spreadsheets in memory to choose from and choose the wrong sheet to open.
Numbers might offer to open the last sheet worked on, if the sheet was the previously sheet opened.
Anyone else seeing this ?

Two different retrieval results on two spreadsheets for same account

I am encountering some very bizarre retrieval behavior that I've never seen before. The version is 11.1.1.3. I have a dynamically calculated account, which produces a Contract-to-date value for Net Sales.
The formula is:
IF(@ISMBR("Jan"))
@MDSHIFT("CTD Sales", 24, "Period", , -1, "Years", ) + "Net Sales";
ELSE
@PRIOR("CTD Sales") + "Net Sales";
It's always worked correctly as far as I can determine. I took a copy of the outline and put it in my dev system and have been working on some other development. In testing, I noticed that my CTD Sales wasn't retrieving the correct number. This is on a spreadsheet with multiple other accounts on it. It works fine up through FY12, then in January of FY13 and thereafter, produces incorrect numbers, with no apparent pattern of error. So I put just the Net Sales and CTD Sales members onto another spreadsheet, without all of the other stuff, and retrieved that, and it produced the correct numbers. It's not a matter of having a spreadsheet formula in the retrieval spot that I've forgotten about (I've done that before). I also copied the spreadsheet with the wrong numbers, and retrieved in Smart View (was retrieving in Essbase add-in before), and got the same wrong numbers.
In addition, I actually have three dynamically calculated CTD accounts on the sheet, and the bizarre behavior is happening for all three. With all of the other accounts on the sheet, wrong numbers. With only those accounts on the sheet, correct numbers.
Also, for more information, one of my calculation scripts uses these CTD members, and it is producing the correct result, so this appears to be isolated purely to spreadsheet retrieval.
So how can the same exact dimension intersection produce two different numbers on two different spreadsheets? Why would having other account members on a spreadsheet affect the results of one of the accounts? Has anyone ever encountered this before?
Sabrina

are you sure you have same combinations from rest of dimensions in both spreadsheets...like retrieving for same month ???Absolutely, 100% sure.
Also does the difference exists for all months retrieval or only for Jan retrieval?It starts in January and the difference continues for the rest of the months/years after. The amount it's off by changes each year, but remains the same for each month in the year. So Jan through Dec of FY13 are all off by 50,321,000. Jan through Dec of FY14 are all off by 186,378,000. Jan through Dec of FY15 are all off by 351,757,000.
Also note that if you have a retrieval as shown in the screenshot in the following link... for the last 5 months (AUG to DEC) under FY11 will actually retreive for FY12. this is a wierd behaviour.No, I have the year above each month.

How can I link specific cells in two different speadsheets so the data from a specific cell in spreadsheet A automatically updates in a specific cell in spreadsheet B. It works in Xcel- Any ideas?

How can I link specific cells in two different tables so the data from a specific cell in table A automatically updates in a specific cell in table B? It works in Xcel- Any ideas?

(1) your title ask the way to link different spreadsheets.
In Numberland, a spreadsheet is an entire document.
There is no way to link different documents.
(2) in the message, you ask the way to link different tables.
This feature is available and is described in iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide (which is available for free from the Help menu).
Getting the info just requires a simple search in this available resource !

How to map lookup main table field in another main table using MDM 7.1?

We created a new SAP MDM 7.1 repository with multiple main tables. The first main table is called ProductMaster table which contains Products information. The ProductCode is the primary key and the only display field for the table during data loading process. The second main table is ProductByRegion table which has a main table lookup field ProductCode and a RegionId field. These two fields (ProductCode and RegionId) combine as the PK for this main table. Both main tables have key mapping enabled.
I was able to load ProductMaster table using Import Manager. But Iu2019m having trouble to load data into ProductByRegion table using MDM Import Manager. Although I have met all the 5 requirements below (excerpted from MDM Import Manager Reference Guide P.222), the ProductCode wonu2019t show up on the destination value pane. If I mapped all productCode to NULL field, ProductCode wonu2019t load. If I u2018Addu2019 all ProductCode to Destination Value pane, the Import Manager added duplicated rows to Product Master table while only loading 1 record to ProductByRegion table. I canu2019t get ProductCode show up in Matching Destination Field list. When I checked ProductMaster records in MDM Data Manager, I right-clicked on one of records, chose Edit Key Mappings, it didnu2019t show anything. However, if I right-clicked on one of those duplicated rows, Edit Key Mapping shows remote system and key correctly.
Where did I do wrong? How can I fix the problem?
Thank you for help in advance.
From: SAP MDM Import Manager Reference Guide:
Mapping to Main Table Lookup Destination Fields
Import Manager handles main table lookup fields (Lookup [Main])
differently than other MDM lookup fields. Specifically, Import Manager
does not display the complete set of display field values of the records
of the underlying lookup table. Instead, the values it displays for a main
table lookup field are limited by both the key mappings for the lookup
table and the values in the source file.
Also, Import Manager does not automatically display the values of a
Lookup [Main] destination field in the Destination Values grid when you
select the field in the Destination Fields grid. Instead, for a main table
lookup field value to appear in the Destination Values grid, all of the
following conditions must be met:
u2022 The lookup table must have key mapping enabled
u2022 The lookup field must be mapped to a source field
u2022 The source field must contain key values for the lookup table
u2022 The destination value must have a key on the current remote system
u2022 The destination valueu2019s key must match a source field value
NOTE ►► The current remote system is the remote system that was
selected in Import Manageru2019s Connect to Source dialog (see
u201CConnecting to a Remote Systemu201D on page 416 for more information).

Hi Michael,
Thank you very much for your response. I'm new to SAP MDM, I need some clarification and help regarding your solution.
I did use two maps to load ProductMaster and ProductByRegion separately. Here were my steps:
1. create main table ProductMaster with key mapping enabled at the table level and set ProductCode as unique and writable once (primary key).
2. create a map to load ProductMaster record from a staging table located an oracle database. But Key mapping didn't show anything when I looked at them using Data Manager.
3. create main table ProductByRegion with a lookup field looking at ProductMaster table. This field and RegionId combines as a unique field for ProductByRegion table.
4. create a map to load ProductByRegion table. But ProductCode records only shows on the source pane not destination pane and can't be mapped properly.
My questions:
1. How can I "Ensure that you add key mapping info for all ProductMaster records" besides enabling Key Mapping on the table level?
2. How can I define a concatenation of ProductCode and RegionId as a REMOTE KEY"?
Thanks a lot for your help!
Vicky
