Navigation within a block of data

I'm in the process of re-writing my old old Excel Spreadsheet for financials into Numbers.
The first bit, getting the formulas to survive a sort by date was asked and answered in a thread "Problems sorting after applying a simple formula". I have that working in test and I am happy to observe that when formatted text is sorted in numbers the formatting seems to go with the data - I remember having different outcomes sometime ago in ooo.
Anyway, the question.
My Financials (in Excel) are a year a page and will be over 1,000 lines long (all my accounts in one sheet).
Today (being July of course) will be about 400 lines down and the remaining lines (below TODAY) contain a mixture of budget and forecast items (for example I know I will have a Rates bill to pay in 10 days so it sits in the sheet with the correct date (in the middle of next week) getting closer to TODAY each time I sort.
To assist me in Navigating to TODAY, that Journal entry is left blank and I can get to it from anyplace in the Journal Column with <end><up> or <end><down> (as appropriate). In fact this is in a little Macro that sorts the data (select all using captured keystrokes, sort, position the cursor with <end><up>).
I can cope without macros (Numbers does not do macros - Check?) but navigation over so much data without my trusty <end><direction arrow> is too painful to contemplate.
Keyboard Shortcusts in Numbers Help tells me that <end> is "Scroll to end of sheet".
Is there some way of navigating through big blocks of data such as this<end><direction arrow> trick?
I'm thinking some sort of Find but Numbers would need to remember a unique target between sessions for thst to be an easy answer.

Chipili,
Here's a completely different method that you may want to consider. In all my Numbers documents that involve dates, I have (strategically located) a 2-Cell table that has a Header cell "Today" and just below it a cell with the formula: =TODAY(). It's handy on several levels. Format your today formula cell with the "1/5/2009" Date option - this format works best (and I don't know why). It doesn't matter how you have formatted the date you want to find, but what you will paste into the Find Window needs to be formatted this way.
Now, activate the FIND panel with a COMMAND-F and it will open at the bottom of your Numbers window.
Then to locate the current date you would select your special TODAY cell, COMMAND-C, click in the Find window, COMMAND-V. You will get at least one hit, the cell with the TODAY() expression. If the date appears anywhere else, you will get a line for this in your list of finds and clicking on it will take you there. Often I'm looking for a date a week or 10 days earlier than today's date. It's easy to create an expression for this: =TODAY()-7, for instance.
Hope this gives you something to think about.

  • How can I update record in the block that Data Source is PROCEDURE?

    I like use Procedure as the Data Source of block.It's very flexible.
    Usually I do this only query the record,but now I must update record in the block that Data Source is Procedure.
    What next step can I do?Can anyone offer some examples?
    This is example, you goto

  • Navigation within a pop-up window.

    Hi,
    I have a question regarding navigation within a pop-up window.
    The pop-up window is generated as below, the component usage is defined in the runtime repository for the main window.
    lo_contracts_popup     = comp_controller->window_manager->create_popup(
        iv_interface_view_name = 'TEST_REPS/MainWindow'
        iv_usage_name          = 'RepsList'
        iv_title               = lv_reps_otr ).
      lo_contracts_popup->set_window_width( '800' ).
      lo_contracts_popup->set_window_height( '500' ).
      lo_contracts_popup->open( ).
    Within the component, there are two views defined and assigned to that window.  If the component is tested by itself navigation is possible in the usual manner using a navigational link,  clicking the button calls the outbound plug, then the inbound plug then the bsp page and then the screen changes to show the new view, this uses the following code
    CALL METHOD op_toamendrep( ).
    Then in the outbound plug:-
      me->view_manager->navigate( source_rep_view = me->rep_view
                                  outbound_plug   = 'ToAmendRepresentative' ).
    However when the same chain of events is actioned in the pop-up, the navigational link is called the plugs are called and the associated BSP code is run through in the debugger, but the actual screen in the pop-up window is still shows the first view, not the second as we would expect.
    Can you please help me to resolve this issue?
    Thanks in advance,
    Gareth Smith

    I had the same issue and I found turning off safai extensions fixed the issue.  Must be an extension that's causing this problem.

  • Can we create multiple records before navigation to that block

    Can we create multiple records and assign values in Forms, before navigation to that block (in a trigger ), and populate ?

    Hello,
    No you cannot. You need to be inside the block in order to use the Create_Record built-in.

  • Limiting, not blocking, Cellular Data Roaming

    I'm trying to find out a way that allows us to supply our staff with iPhones, but limit liability with regards to overseas data roaming.  The problem is probably quite common-- our staff travel a fair bit, so we have a cellular data plan that gives them a fixed cap of free of world-wide data roaming.  Our Telco isn't great at blocking the data from overrunning, as they say their info only gets updated daily, so overages could happen for an entire day before it was blocked.
    We educate the users about how to avoid going over that limit, and largely that's successful-- but occasionally, as I'm sure everyone has experienced at one point or another, someone forgets to flip the switch, or installs a new app without thinking, and then quickly they can run up a tremendous data bill.
    Is there a way in Apple Configurator, or on the device itself, where I could set up a rule limiting roaming data?  Ideally I just want to tell the Configurator "Please limit these users to 500mb roaming data per month, then turn off and lock roaming data".

  • No ManagedConnections available within configured blocking timeout ( 30000

    Hi,
    I am getting the below error when i am using the mysql database more than once reading it . can anybody help me in this regard.
    No ManagedConnections available within configured blocking timeout ( 30000 [ms] ); - nested throwable:

    For any begginners (like me) that might encounter the same error in future:
    I got this error on JBoss server logs even when I had closed all DB connections and ResultSets.
    It turned out that the error occured because I had not closed a CallableStatement which I had instantiated within LOOP. (I had only closed this object inside the finally block at the end)
    So if your code creates a CallableStatement (or likewise) inside a LOOP, jez check whether it is closed within the loop (before the loop creates another CallableStatement object)
    Prerry basic stuff... which sometimes you tend to overlook...

  • Sampling a long block of data

    hello
    I would like to do an FFT of 4 seconds. For that, I must do an sampling a long block of data before the FFT. I know do the FFT but not the sampling. Can you help me ?
    Thank you.
    Sorry if I did mistakes in english

    Please provide more details...
    Samplerate, if you want to sample 4 seconds at 1kHz, it's only 8k Data (at16bit). Today that's not a big deal ;-)
    What hardware are you using? 
    Have a look at the DAQ Exsamples. There is at least one where you can choose samplerate and Number of samples and that is ready to run with most (NI) Hardware (Acquire N - Multi-Start.vi ) or with the soundcard    Sound Card Simple Spectrum Analyzer.vi

  • Oracle version of the Microsoft Application Blocks for Data Access

    Where can I find an Oracle version of the Microsoft Application Blocks for Data Access? Is it tied to any specific version of the Oracle Client software? I currently have version 8.1.7.3 installed.

    I think that DAAB 3.0 only has support for ODBC and OLEDB, which indeed can be used for Oracle. The Nile 3.0 program has an OracleHelper file, but this one uses the Microsoft Dataprovider for Oracle RDBMS. With some minor changes you can make this version work with the ODP.NET that Oracle provides.
    The issue I'm trying to convey is, that it seems hard to use the Microsoft Application Blocks using ODP.NET. As I described earlier, the LOBs and REF Cursors are reference types that actually point to data in the Database. This means, that the Connection to the database must be open to get to the Data.
    In the DataHelper, you open the Connection and get the data you need. The DataHelper should then clean up and close the Connection. Then you pass the data to the caller. However, since we're dealing with Reference types, a closed connection means no data.
    So I guess the only way to make this easy to use and not having to assume the caller/developer will open and close connections, you must copy the data in an instance of a DataSet, before you close the connection and then pass the Dataset back to the caller.
    I wonder if people have delt with this issue and what their solution looks like.
    thnx

  • I want to block ALL data services on my LG Revere prepaid phone...is it possible?

    I recently upgraded to an LG Revere.  This is a prepaid phone where I pay 0.15/minute as an old Alltel customer.  I just looked at my account usage and found that my balance is dwindling QUICKLY due to data sessions.  I don't use any internet or web services at all.  I rarely text and honestly my phone is OFF most of the time because I live in the country and it truly doesn't work well out here.
    Can I block all data services and just have a pay by the minute situation on this phone?
    Thanks!!!

    Ok, I neglected to say in my first msg that I DID get an response from my email sent on Sunday but since I got a real person on the phone that said she had fixed my problem on her end I did follow the instructions.  Today, I did what the email said which is the following:
    There is a known issue with Alltel plans and the LG Revere. On your phone, you have an application called “Daily Scoop,” which is a free service, but data charges do apply. If Daily Scoop was preinstalled on your phone when you purchased it, you may turn on or off notifications for both Verizon Messages and Bonus Messages through the application directly. Please follow the steps below to stop the data session charges for the “Daily Scoop:” 
    •        To access the Daily Scoop, click on Media Center
    •        Then Browse & Download menu
    •        Select the Daily Scoop icon
    •        Once In Daily Scoop
    •        Go to Menu
    •        Then Options
    •        Select Verizon Messages
    •        You then have the option to turn On/Off – Select OFF
    •        Hit CLR two times to go back to options
    •        Select Bonus Messages
    •        You then have the option to turn On/Off – Select OFF
    You will still be able to access messages from the application, but you will not receive banner notifications on your home screen. You may choose to suspend Daily Scoop account by contacting [email protected].
    I called again and the gal seemed to think that I was good to go.  Again, I won't know until Friday most likely.  They credited my account for the data session yesterday and the two today that occurred when I turned off the msg options.  I will be sending a msg to vzdailyscoopsupport next.
    By the way, in order to get a real person from the 800 number, you enter your phone #, option 4, option 4, option 5, enter your security code and they should connect you to a live body.
    I will update again on Friday to let you know how it's going.  Hopefully I'm on my way and maybe with this you will be too

  • Trace user  on EP6 when navigating within Portal

    Hi Team,
    We have migrated from EP5 to EP6 sp2.
    Our users that are working via the Metaframe XP are experiencing problems when navigating within Portal.
    eg. If the user selects ESS, the screen returns back to the same screen. It was working fine on EP5.
    Users that do not use the Metaframe are working fine on EP6.
    I need to trace the user activity from the time the user
    signs onto Portal and signoff.
    I tried looking at trace files on the OS level and i also
    enabled the HTTP tracing, but had very little joy.
    I suspect it might be a Browser cookie problem.
    Could someone help with this problem.
    Points will be rewarded !!
    Kind Regards,
    Morgan Moodley

    A couple of things you could try
    1) Try clearing the browser cache, as there may still be files hanging around from the EP5 system that the EP6 system doesn't like.
    As for tracing the user activity, you could use a browser sniffing tool and simulate what the user is doing. I personally use HttpWatch, which sits in the IE browser as an icon in the top toolbar. When activated this will detail all requests and responses to and from the browser. I am not too sure how much this information will help with trying to identify the problem, but it could be a start.
    It might also be worth trying to use Firefox and looking in the Javascript console to see if there are any javascript errors
    I hope this helps a little

  • Navigating within an app...

    How do I 'go back' a screen within an app?
    For example, I downloaded 'GoodReader' for pdfs. I've loaded some into it, where they sit nicely in the list of PDF's. I touch one to check if it's the version I want, but then, I just want to go back to the list. But there's no 'backward arrow'. Only option seems to be to click the Home button, which only takes me back to the apps icons.
    I know this is simple. But I checked the iPad 'Guide' and nothing speaks to this.
    Thanks,
    Karen

    Well, I'm back again. Now I have the iPad guide open (which was a pdf from GoodReader), and all that happens if I tap it is it gets bigger. The instructions for using the 'Multitasking' bar don't seem to work for me. If I click Home to go back to the GoodReads Icon and touch it, hoping to in that way return to the GR Doc list, all it does is return me back to the iPad guide.
    Earlier I was able to tap twice and bring back an arrow key up top I could tap to get back to the list of docs. But it's not working now.  ?
    I don't understand why the iPad guide doesn't give you touch/tap instructions for navigating within apps--only the basics of how to get Home, bigger, smaller, etc. This is most frustrating.
    Help, anyone?
