Numbers 09 continuing formulas when adding rows

Numbers 09 - I have a checkbook template but when adding rows at the bottom the formulas do not continue. I have tried adding rows from the last row "Add row below" and also while in the last cell hitting return. Neither of these work. Any suggestions?

Hi jc,
The rule is quite explicit: "If all the body cells in a column above the new row contain the same formula or cell
control, the formula or cell control is repeated in the new row."
So far there's been some information necessary to solving the problem missing from your posts. Please do the following, and supply the requested information:
Unhide ALL rows. There are two ways to do this, depending on what was done to hid them.
a. Click on the Reorganize button. If the checkbox beside "Show rows that match..." is checked, uncheck it.
b. If the checkbox is unchecked, or if there are still rows hidden after unchecking it, go to the Table menu and choose Unhide all Rows.
Click on any cell on the table to activate the table and show the Column and Row reference tabs. Hover the mouse over the tab for Row 1, then click the triangle that appears to open the local row menu. Repeat with rows 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 until you find the first row whose menu starts with the item shown below. Which row has this menu item on your table?:
Now click on cell G2 (the first cell containing a balance).
Select and Copy the whole formula from this cell. Paste it into your reply to this message.
Repeat step 3 with the formula from cell G3. Paste it directly below the formula from G2, using the example below as a guide:
G2: (paste formula)
G3: (paste formula)

Can iOS Numbers copy formulas when adding new rows?

iOS Numbers table add row is not copying previous cell formulas. Is this supported or not?
I have a table with lots of columns and all of them have formulas. When I click at the lower left of the table to add a row, none of the new cells have the formulas. I have to manually go through every column and copy the formulas to the new row.
This is not very practical if you're planning to use Numbers on the go with an iPad. In my case, I have to quickly get a new row ready as needed. I was hoping there is a preference setting somewhere like "copy formulas when adding new row".

I had the same issue with the added twist that I wanted to reference the created cells in formulas in other sheets. This is what works for me:
I use a form to enter data. The referenced sheet is set up like this:
1     Name     Date     ServPayment    SalesPayment     Total
2     Week1                                                                 =sum (ServPayment,SalesPayment)
3                                                                                =sum (ServPayment,SalesPayment)
4     TotWeek1                                                            =sum (Total2,Total3)
"Total" sums the 2 Payments, TotWeek1 sums the totals.
In the entry form I never add data to the empty line. In this example, I would start at "Week1" and tap the "+" to add a new form. This creates the line in the referenced sheet with my formulas. As I continue, I always start at the last entry I have made and tap "+".
When I create a line that does not have the formula on either side, I do not get the formula.
Hope this helps.

Numbers missing reference after adding rows

Hi,
I came into a strange situation (which I did not have before).
I have a sheet summary contaning formulas that uses cells from a different sheet. The source sheet contains more than 100 rows containing different numbers which are used in more than 50 formulas in the summary sheet.
When adding rows inbetween the existing data sheet rows, I see that the summary sheet furmulas, in some cases, do not reference to the correct row number (they all should shift to the new row number) any more (out of 50 references only four got currapted).
Any ideas are appriciated (is this a known bug).
Thanks,
Ziv

Ziv,
First, I want to thank you for asking a question that got me thinking about something I hadn't really considered before.
I am not entirely sure I understand your question or the test you proposed in the second post, but if I am reading it correctly, what you are expecting is the way Numbers is designed to work (and the way I have seen it work) and when I try the test from your second post I get the results I expect.
That is, a cell reference points to a cell, not a location; if you move that cell (for example, by adding a row above it, which moves it down one row) the reference in the formula is updated to reflect the new location, but the result of the calculation doesn't change.
But this got me wondering about how Numbers dealt with references to ranges of cells. For example, the formula =SUM(C3:C6) is equivalent to =SUM(C3, C4, C5, C6), but what happens when you add a row after row 4? Apparently, the second expression remains a sum of the values in four cells, but the values of C5 and C6 are changed to reflect the fact that they have moved to C6 and C7. However, in the first expression, the new cell is added to the range, so that it is now the sum of five values. Actually, if you add a row (or column) to one that passes through a range, in the middle, or on the outside, the formula updates to add the new cell to the range, even if you are adding cells immediately below the bottom row in the range (so none of the cells in the original range actually move).
I'm not sure any of this has much to do with your problem, unless possibly one (or four) of your expressions is referring to a range that happens to be one cell, which would update differently from one referencing a simple cell. As Jerry has said, it's pretty hard to know anything without knowing what expressions your formulas are using.
At any rate, thanks for making me think about something I hadn't explored before.

Auto-adjust references when adding rows/columns

If I recall correctly, it was the behavior of Appleworks that if you added, say, column B, making the old column B into column C, all references to B throughout were automatically changed to C. This does not happen in Numbers. Is there any way to make this the default behavior or a different command to add rows/columns that causes references to automatically be adjusted accordingly?

OK, this is going to make me sound really stupid, but I actually was so confused and tired that I meant the exact opposite of what I said. I was making a ledger-type spreadsheet keeping a running balance, and I wanted cells in the balance column to continue referring to the cell directly above them rather than to one absolute cell that used to be directly above them. That's how it works in Appleworks. I think.

Tab order not working when adding rows through Javascript

I am having trouble with my tab order in LiveCycle Designer 8. When I "add instance" for a row from a button, my tab ordering skips the new row. How can I get the new rows to fall line up correctly in the tab order?
Here is my Javascript code:
"click" - Table.Product1.Product12.Product13.instanceManager.addInstance(1);

do you have the tab order set as automatic or custom?

Dynamic tables collide when adding rows

Hi,
I created two dynamic tables with buttons to add/remove/move rows. When I add rows, the table collides with the other one and overlays it. How can I manage that the other table (or content) of the PDF is moved automatically further down to avoid a collision?
Thanks

Hi,
first of all thanks for answering that quickly!
@ Gopal
Thank you. When I wrap the whole page with a subform and set it to flowed, all elements are in a chaos (but the table is flowed to the next page when reaching the end of it).Putting a subform between the two tables works!
Space between two tables:
subform (flowed)
--> subform (flowed)
>table
--> subform (position) = spacer
--> subform (flowed)
>table
@ amita
unfortunately it is not possible to check that option for allowing page breaks
Thanks to both of you!

Numbers Not Responding When Adding New Sheet

As you may have surmised from the title, Numbers is crashing every time I (attempt to) add a new sheet. This is only happening on one of my computers; the others seem OK.
I got this version via the App Store and was wondering whether it'll be OK to delete my version and re-install.
Thanks in advance for advice...

Hi Adam,
I wouldn't surmise that at all from your subject line—crashing is, after all, a response.
While reinstalling might solve the issue, I doubt that it is a necessary step. Does Numbers exhibit the same response if you open it (on the same computer) using a different User Account?
If not, then the most likely culprit is a corrupted preferences file.
In the Finder (and logged on with the account where the issue exists), press and hold the option key, go to the Go menu, and choose Library.
In Library, open Preferences, and locate the file com.apple.iWork.Numbers.plist
Drag this file to the desktop (or the Trash), the relaunch Numbers and try adding a sheet to a Numbers document.
If successful, trash the old preferences file and carry on.
Regards,
Barry

Continuing Index numbers when adding photos

Does anyone know if it is possible to continue the index numbering when adding additional photos to a folder in which the photos were names with a custom name with index. To be clear, if the last photo in the folder is, for example, 'Big Ben 22', can I add more photos at a later date and have the new ones start at 'Big Ben 23....24....25 etc etc.
I am finding that it just starts at 1 again and doubles up - ie. there are then 2 x 'Big Ben 1' etc

Here is something regarding exporting/naming but the naming presets work the same way for importing.

Macbook pro numbers applying a formula to all rows

macbook pro, numbers: applying a formula to all rows...
I am trying to apply the same formula to successive row in a spreadsheet that I am using...how do I go about this?

Apologies for not replying immediately! I have now managed to organise my entire stock list for my business; I just had a major brain blockage as to how to copy and paste formulae in columns, added to which I've never had any formal training in IT. I'm not too old to try and have a can do attitude and so far I managed ok. Now I've started my own business I'm putting what I've taught myself in to practice and I'm pleasantly surprising myself with the results.
Thank you again for your help,

FR Formula Yields #ERROR when adding #MISSING & #MISSING

I have reports recently migrated from FR 11.1.1.3 to 11.1.2.2, and the reports are showing the #ERROR message in report formula that showed #MISSING in version 11.1.1.3.
The FR Formula is adding 2 rows with #MISSING & #MISSING in all the columns.
It appears the FR version 11.1.2.2 resolves #MISSING plus #MISSING as #ERROR when version 11.1.1.3 yields #MISSING.
The workaround is to substitute a character for #ERROR, but it could be a huge job updating many reports.
Is this a known bug? Is there a global fix? Any ideas?
Edited by: user13388407 on Feb 21, 2013 2:51 PM

--This is a known bug and we got a response from Oracle on it today.
"The behavior was indeed changed because the previous results in 11.1.1.3 version were incorrect.
There has been a bug raised for this issue and development team confirmed it. The bug details - Bug 12956217: FORMULA CELLS RETURNING #ERROR RATHER THAN #MISSING.
And the development has also added new server-side property named MissingValuesAreZeroInFormulas in the 11.1.2.x versions, It determines how to treat #Missing values during the evaluation of grid formulas and calculations. This property is similar to the existing MissingValuesAreZeroInFormulasInHFM property except that it applies to all datasources (not just HFM-based grids).
The new MissingValuesAreZeroInFormulas can have the following values:
* A value of false (or 0) means that #Missing values are not the same as zero.
* A value of true (or 1) means that #Missing values are treated as zero.
The default value is false (i.e. #missing values are not treated as zero).
Kindly try to use the new server-side property if it suits your FR reports. And it is available in the FRconfig.cmd (.sh)."

Sum formula doesn't change when add row

This question is about Numbers. I have a column of numbers with a sum cell at the bottom of the column. Sometimes I need to insert a row at the very bottom of the column, just above the cell with the Sum formula. I then need to tweak the sum formula to include that added row; however, if I add a row in the middle of the column, the sum formula automatically changes to include that added row.

Hi c,
Numbers will automatically adjust the formula if all body cells above the added cell have the same formula, or if the added cell is within the range specified in the formula.
In the middle of the column, the second is true. At the end of the column, the added cell is outside the range specifired in your formula, and there is at least one regular cell above that does not contain the same formula.
Use one or more header rows at the top of the table for your labels. Use a Footer row to hold the SUM formula. Place the SUM formula in the Footer row, using =SUM(B) for example to SUM the values in all of the body cells in column B.

Barry

Cannot edit a field that is "Standard Report Column" when new row added

Hi everyone,
I have created a master-detail form from the wizard and within the detail report region source I have used apex_item.xxx API
example;
select C1, C2,
CASE when C2 ='N' then
apex_item.select_list_from_query(3, C3,'select a1 d, a2 r from table1', 'ENABLED', 'NO',null,null, 'f03_#ROWNUM#')
else
apex_item.select_list_from_query(3, C3,'select a1 d, a2 r from table1', 'DISABLED', 'NO',null,null, 'f03_#ROWNUM#')
END C3
from table;
All columns C1,C2,C3 are defined as "Standard Report Columns".
The results allows the column C3 field to be enabled or disabled for input depending on a condition.
The problem is when you hit the default button "Add Row" to add a new row. The row is non-editable and is populated with null values.
What I want is to allow input when a new row is inserted into the multi-row detail form.
Can any one help?
Is there a way to change the Display As field for the new row columns to "text field" from "standard report column" dynamically?

I think you will need to use the old way of adding rows instead of the new one. I remember having headaches trying to get it working.

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?
For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted... How can I do this without distorting the formula?

Thanks for the feedback.
If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.
As they are PDFs, they are easy to search in.
CAUTION
Download them while they are available.
Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
Searching infos in the iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.
It seems that the tool used to generate the web pages was wrongly configured.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff! as you've rightly mentioned, you're already using the latest version of firefox installed and you can always initiate a check for ''updates in firefox > help > about firefox''.
you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the [http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free free version of malwarebytes], [http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ adwcleaner] & [http://www.kaspersky.com/security-scan kaspersky security scan] in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

Null Pointer Exception When Adding New Row on Table

Hello JheadStart Team
I have used detail group with table layout , when I am clicking on AddRow button on detail table , I encounter NulllPointer Exception . I have traced the code and fount that in JhsCollectionModel when adding new row following
condition occurs :
DCIteratorBinding ib = getRangeBinding().getIteratorBinding();
int rangeSize = ib.getRangeSize();
int rowsInRange = ib.getAllRowsInRange().length;
because getAllRowsInRange is Null then the error raise.
My JheadStart ver is 10.1.3.3.85 .
Detail Group with table layout setting is :
Use Table range=true
Show New Row at top=true
New Rows:empty
Show Add New Row Button :true
Regards

Given the build you are using, I assume you are an Oracle employee.
Is this correct? if so, please post your question to the [email protected] mailing list.
