Numbering each Table cell down a column

Hi I was wondering if there is an easy way to chronologically number the cells descending a
table column so that the numbers will adjust automatically as rows are removed/added. The number should appear within the cell.
This is InDesign CS3 on the Mac leopard OS
Thanks

Create a paragraph style, enable numbering in it, set the numbering style. Then apply that style to all the cells in the column you want numbered. Finally, you should type a space in each cell to show the number.
This way, your rows are numbered atomatically and updated automatically when you delete rows. When you add new rows you'll have to apply the number style and type a space.

Numbering Across Table Cells

Hello expert users, my first post here,
I have a table that has four columns. The cells in the first column should be numbered. I have set up a style with tiered numbers (which is the numbering I need). Each cell, however, carries number 1, although the option "Continue from previous" is selected. Does Pages not support numbering across table cells, does it restart numbering in each cell by default?

You didn't understand the way lists behaves.
They apply to a chunk of text.
A cell's contents is a chunk of text and the list tool may apply in a given cell.
You are trying to apply numbering to several cells.
They aren't A chunck of text but several ones.
The list tool treats them separately and logically it starts from 1 in evey chunck.
Numbering rows is quite easy if we take time to read the User Guide.
Type 1 in cell A1
Type 2 in cell A2
select both cells then drag to the bottom the circular handle available at bottom of cell A2.
With iWork '09 there is a new feature.
Type a1 in cell A1
select the cell and drag the circular handle to the bottom.
You will get
a1
a2
a3
a4

Numbering and table cells

I want to have auto list numbering continuing down a column in a table, but I can't find a way to do this. Despite having 'continue numbering' ticked in the inspector for the style I've applied, ,the numbers restart with each row.
IE
I want
1. r1,c1 r1,c2
2. r2, c1 r2, c2
3. r3, c1 r3, c2
4. r4,c1 r4, c2
... but I'm getting...
1. r1,c1 r1,c2
1. r2, c1 r2, c2
1. r3, c1 r3, c2
1. r4,c1 r4, c2
Is there a way to do this? There is in Word but you know, it's Word....

I guess that'll be a 'no' then...

Any way of repeatedly merging cells down a column?

I want to merge blocks of 4 cells at a time (to create bigger blocks). I tried copying format, but that didn't work. As far as I can tell, if you want to repeatedly merge cells (I have a column with about a thousand cells, I want to manipulate it so there is 250 cells), there is not way you can do this (fill down etc doesn't work for formats like this).
Am I missing something?

I can't guess why you would want to do this, so my suggestion by not fit your need. I would consider adding a Table with only 1 column and 250 rows which can very quickly be sized as you wish. Place it adjacent to column of 1000 rows table. Select the new table by clicking on the table name in the Sheets pane to reveal the corner and side open-box handles. Position the new table to align the top border, then grab the bottom handle and stretch the table until it bottom-aligns with your longer table.
It would also be possible to use the Table Inspector to set the row height exactly, to something like 2".
In the end you will have:

RoboHelp 7 to 9 : Table Cell Padding

HI All,
I very recently upgraded from TCS 1.3 with RoboHelp 7 to TCS 3.5 with RoboHelp 9. Yeay! All is good so far except one little niggle. . .
I use tables frequently in my source files to set out information. In RH7 I did this through Table > Insert > Table... Select number of rows and columns then click OK.
When I did this I could see that RH had automatically added padding to the table cells. If I added text into the cell there was a small gap between the table border and start of the text.
When I perform the same action in RH9, the padding appears to be missing (highlight a table cell and skip over to HTML view). I can't figure out how to add this automatically.It could get a little tiresome if I have to add it for each table cell from now on in order to be consistent with the tables already in my project. Manually adding a margin from the Table properties dialog appears to make no difference. Even when I set the margin to be outrageously huge, my text still butts right up against the table border.
So, does anyone know how I can set my table cells to automatically have the same padding as they did in RH7?
Any ideas or help are welcomed. Thanks guys!

Presumably, after reading the Table Styles topic in the help as well as your tour Peter, my existing tables stay as is unless I apply a table style to them but I have to create a style for any new tables I add into my project files?
Yes to all questions. At some point it may be worth converting your inline tables to CSS though so that future changes are just at CSS level.
You don't mention in your tour Peter whether the mapping issue across to printed documentation has now been fixed in RH9?
If you mean what I think you do, not that is still an issue.
Having attempted to create a table style, I'm now trying to work out why if I choose to apply formatting to the 'Whole Table' and set the borders to 'Solid', '1px', 'All Borders' and 'Silver', I get an outline around the whole table rather than all cells bordered. Confused?!!
The table editor is a nightmare. Whole table means the outer borders, not the whole table, as one might reasonably expect. I think the trick is to set borders for odd rows as top left and even rows as bottom right, something like that.

Multiple tables with the possibility of multiple records in each table

Post Author: viper
CA Forum: .NET
Hi
I have been trying for a few days now to come up with a CR solution to displaying data from multiple tables. These tables, in some cases, have more then one record that needs to be displayed. This is basically what I am trying to do.....
I am developing a .net web application(vb) using vs2005 and an oracle 10g backend. There is a data entry part of the site that users will enter data related to a property. Other users will be able to search these records and have a list of records returned based on the search criteria. The user then can click on one of these records to view a pop up CR report containing all the data related to that one property. The PropID is passed to the pop up page and is used in the WHERE clause of my SQL statement to bring back only one property. This data can come from as many as 18 tables if all the fields have been entered for this property. I have tried many different solutions to get the data from multiple tables...and have had some that were close to what I need. The best one I have will display data from multiple tables but only one record per table.....which doesn't work in my case since some of the tables have more then one record per table.
Is there anybody that has had success in setting up similar reports?
Does anybody know how I could use the "Group Expert" to group by the tables in my application? I can only figure out how to group within a single table.
It would be great if I could group by table....then just display the record(s) in each table that had the same PropID. I am not sure if the pdf export would show all the data in that situation but it would be worth a try. If fact...maybe I could create a new table called MyTables and just add two colums like MyTableID and MyTableName. Then add all the table names to MyTables that I want to see in the report and add the associated MyTableID value to each table as a new column. I could then group by MyTableID and PropID. Just guessing here.
Any ideas would be appreciated.

Your query is not too clear so I'll do my best to answer it broadly.
You mentioned that you have a .NET web application where your users enter data on one screen and then may retrieve it on another. If the data is written in real time to a database then you can create a standard Crystal Report by adding multiple tables. The tables should be linked together using the primary and foreign keys in order to optimize the database query and give you a speedy report. Using unlinked tables is not recommended and requires the report engine to index the tables (it is quite slow).
You also mentioned you have a "PropID" to be used in a WHERE clause. This is a great place to use a parameter in your report. This parameter can then be used in your record selection formula inside Crystal Reports. The report engine will actually create the WHERE clause for you based on the parameter value. This is helpful because it allows you to simply concentrate on your code rather than keeping track of SQL queries.
Now, what Crystal does not do well with is uncertainty. When you design a report with X number of tables the report engine expects X number of tables to be available at processing time. You should not surprise the print engine with more or less tables because you could end up with processing errors or incorrect data. You may need to design multiple reports for specific circumstances.
Regarding the group expert question. I'm not sure how you would/could use the group expert to group a table? A table is a collection of fields and cannot be compared to another table without a complex algorithm. The group expert is used to group and sort records based on a field in the report. Have a look at the group expert section of the help file for more information.
Hopefully my comments have given you a few ideas.

Problem in table cell editor

Hai,
I inserted as a dropdownkey in table, Parent node ABc is bind to table , the child node DEf bind to coloumn dropdownbyindex. i set child node singleton as false, but its giving null pointer exception.

IXXXView.IDEFElement c=iu.nodeDEF().createDEFElement();
How to Solve this.
Hope Anil and Piyush will help me they already know about this problem.

i deleted table cell editor of column *** and created new editor dropdownindex. and binded texts is node DEF
DEF is set to singleton false.

Table cells shift

When I look at my page in Dreamweaver, the cells at the top
of the page of my table are about 248 pixels in width, but when the
page appears on the web, they are out of alignment. I wish I could
lock each table cell so it will not shift.
Here is my website:
http://www.troyrecreation.org/
The cells that have shifted are the image of the woman doing
Pilates, the cell with text to the left, below and below left. It
is a table with 4 cells.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Dan

Does changing the table cell code the pilates2 image is in
to:
<td width="247" align="center" valign="top"><img
src="pilates2.jpg"
width="247" height="185"></td>
fix it?
Take care,

In Numbers, how can I cause one cell to automatically follow a running balance as it moves down a column?

I've developed a checkbook type spreadsheet in Numbers where the running balance moves down the column one row at a time for each check entry. I need to use that current running balance for additional calculations even though it changes rows for each entry. How do I cause the cell that is using this running balance to follow the current balance as it changes rows for each entry? Additional Information - the formula for the result in the running balance column does not display it's result until a check entry is made for that row.

Drop-down menu in table cells - how to expand over the column width?

Hello!
A client is migrating their 2,400 forms from old JetForms to PDF (LiveCycle Designer) and would like to keep the same functionalities he's used to in the old platform. However, some of the old tool features do not seem to be present in LiveCycle.
Suppose a drop-down menu in a table cell, containing items which lengths are bigger than the table column. In JetForm, when you open the drop-down it spans over the columns to show all its contents, not cutting the drop-down list contents.
I tried this in LiveCycle, but the drop-down gets cut and its contents are limited to the table column (hence the drop-down menu) width.
Is there a way to work around this limitation, even if I have to use some scripting?
Thank you for any ideas!
Marcos

Hi again, Niall!
Thank you again for your great examples!
The dynamic width drop-down will cover some of the client's expectations.
However, they would like it to work even when the drop-down is within a table cell with a width smaller than the width they want the drop-down to show when the mouse enters the field.
I'm afraid you will say this is not possible... Or at least not without a lot of coding, using subforms or the like.
Any ideas?
Thank you very much!
Marcos

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

Hi Dd,
If you want the next date automaitcally filled in when you add a row to the bottom of the table, you can use a formula.
Here's an example, done in Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09). The method is basically the same in Numbers 3.
Formulas in row 3:
B3: =B2+1
C3: =C2+7
D3: =D2+14
These have been filled down to the last row of the table.
The same table is shown below after three rows have been added by dragging the Row control handle (below the tab for row 7) down. No changes other than adding thse three rows were made by the user.
Note that rows 1 and 2 are header rows, and that row 2 contains the starting date for the seraies of date in each column. In the formula, the number at the end tells Numbers how many days to add to the previous date to get the next date.
Autofill of the formula requires that every non-header cell located above the cell into which the formula is to be filled contains the same formula.

Barry

How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a databae?

How can I write into a table cell (row, column are given) in a database using LabVIEW Database Toolkit? I am using Ms Access. Suppose I have three columns in a table, I write 1st row of 1st column, then 1st row of 3rd column. The problem I am having is after writing the 1st row 1st column, the reference goes to second row and if I write into 3rd column, it goes to 2nd row 3rd column. Any suggestion?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

When you do a SQL INSERT command, you create a new row. If you want to change an existing row, you have to use the UPDATE command (i.e. UPDATE tablename SET column = value WHERE some_column=some_value). The some_column could be the unique ID of each row, a date/time, etc.
I have no idea what function to use in the toolkit to execute a SQL command since I don't use the toolkit. I also don't understand why you just don't do a single INSERT. It would be much faster.

Autofit column width to table cell content in Pages

Hello,
Would anyone know how to autofit the column width of a table cell in Pages '09?
I have searched Pages Help to no avail.
Thank you very much in advance.

There is a checkbox in the table inspector to auto-resize to fit content. Unfortunately, that only seems to work with rows, not columns.

I want to add same value/text in every cell in a column in Numbers 3.0

I want to add same value/text in every cell in a column. For example, in all my file names are for pictures that are uploaded to a host site, but the name in the cell does not include the URL associated with it. Does anyone know how to be able to add text to a whole column in front of the current text already in that column?

Assume the filenames are in column C.
Let's says you want to add the text before each file name "http://www.apple.com/"
add a new column (let's say D) and add the formula:
D1="http://www.apple.com/"&C
this is shorthand for... in cell D1 type (or paste from here) the text ""http://www.apple.com/"&C" without the first and last double quotes
select D1, copy
select the column D by clicking the letter D at the top of the column, paste
The "&" is called the concatenate operator and joins two strings together

Populating drop down list in a table cell-urgent

Hi all
I have a problem. I want to populate a dropdown list in a table cell. can anybody tell me the step by step procedure for that.
I am doing it generally. not using R/3
I am creating sub node like u have mentioned. I haven't done it using wizard.
Is there any difference in the way we populate this list?
My root node is expense. Inside that some value attributes are there. For the drop down list i've created a sub node 'extype'.
I am getting error.
it is:
com.sap.tc.webdynpro.progmodel.context.ContextException: Node(EREmpHomeView.expense.extype): cannot bind or add elements because the node has no valid parent
Following is the code i've written.
IPrivateEREmpHomeView.IExtypeElement el;
          IPrivateEREmpHomeView.IExtypeNode nd=wdContext.nodeExpense().nodeExtype();
          el=wdContext.nodeExpense().nodeExtype().createExtypeElement();
          el.setEtype("Travel");
          nd.addElement(el);
Sill i'm getting the same error
Hi Nidhideep
Error has gone with the code that Mr Anil has given. But there is no value in the List. Dropdown list is coming as a blank list.
Thanks and Regards

hi
Aparna try this code:
1. Context description at design time:
Value-Node "myNode", collection type=list, cardinality=0..n, selection=0..n
and the attribute:
Value attributes myValue, type="String".
2. The corresponding Java source code example that you create in the wdDoInit method of the controller implementation:
// The ISimpleTypeModifiable interface enables access to
//a data type instance that can be modified at runtime:
ISimpleTypeModifiable myType =
   wdThis.wdGetAPI().getContext.getModifiableTypeOf(.myNode.myValue);
//Sets the label text for this data type.
myType.setFieldLabel(New label)
//Sets the valid values of this data type. The individual elements are inserted
//when the put method is called and
//and the value set is filled with the appropriate
//key value pair.
IModifiableSimpleValueSet values =
   getSVService().myType.getModifiableValueSet();
values.put(key_1,Mister);
values.put(key_2,Mistress);
values.put(key_3,Miss);
