Numbers any solutions to Fill problem?

I wish to "Fill Special" as I could in Apple Works (it was in the Calculate menu) rather than just "Fill". I want to fill down or right on a spreadsheet with a given start point of time, day, month, year, quarter or number and a set increment of one of the components of time, date, month, year or number sometimes using only certain days of the week. (AW also allowed format date selection).
Numbers seems to have no flexibility in this area yet it was a very much used facility by all in the office and saved lots of time entering data. 1. Am I missing something or 2. Is there a script or add on that will replicate "Fill Special"?
Thanks

Some of these AppleWorks special fills (most, possibly) are available via the little round fill handle in the lower right of a cell selection. Enter a value in a cell and pull the handle right or down. More sophisticated fill patterns are possible if you enter values in two adjacent seed cells, select them both and pull the handle down (when the seed cells are above/below each other) or right (when the seed cells are left/right of each other). Numbers then infers a pattern from the seed cells. In this way a surprising number of fill variants are possible.
There is also another technique, when the fill handle is not sufficient, that brings the full power of Numbers' formulas to bear on the problem. This involves creating a pattern generating formula that is filled into a range of cells with the fill handle, copying the results and pasting them back with "Edit"/"Paste Values".
If you have trouble generating a specific pattern, post the question here.

    Any solution to this problem

    If the problem is sending to just one address and it has worked in the past, I don't know if this will work. I posted this to another thread yesterday for someone who had the same problem you are having and it worked for them. You can take a look. This is thread that I found and the words below are the OP's suggested fix.

    On the iphone i went  Settings>Mail, contacts calanders>choose relevant account (if you have more than 1)> accountname>accountname> scroll down to 'Outgoing Mail server' and click on SMTP >click on your Primary Server >
    My #Username and Password were showing 'Optional'.  Filled them in with the correct details (email account login) and that fixed problem.

  • Using IOS 7.1.2 on Safari when I leave the focus on a input on my webpage and rotate my device from Horizontal to vertical, I see a black space on the right and the page is not displayed properly. Any solutions to this problem?

  • I have a MacBook Pro 2008 with 17 inch screen. Experiencing a lock up when turning on power to boot up. While booting up it goes to gray screen with Apple logo and disc spinning icon running and doesn't go to my desktop. Any solutions to the problem?

    I have an early 2009 17 inch MacBook Pro that just went on the fritz. When turning on the power it will go into boot up mode to the gray screen with the apple logo, then the disc icon will be running and will continue running, not allowing to proceed to my desk top screen. It's pretty much locked up at this point where I have to do a forced shut down by holding down the power button. I've tried everything that I know of such as taking battery out and pressing power button for 5 seconds and then reinstalling battery. I've cleaned inside of computer with compressed air duster in can as well as other key commands for resets. I've read that this is a common problem with the earlier MacBook Pros. Is this a problem that I can fix or does it have to be taken in for service? Any solutions to the problem would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    This could be a software/state problem or a hardware problem.  Here are steps to resolve the former.

    iPhones purchased in the US are NOT guaranteed to work with 4G bands outside of North America.
    For what crazy reason did you purchase an iPhone in the US if you live in Greece?  If your phone needs servicing, it will have to be brought back to the US.  You cannot get that phone serviced in Greece.

  • Volume icon is disfigured. Any solutions to this problem?

    I logged into my macbook pro like I do everyday and when I clicked on the volume key the volume icon appeared to have weird lines on both the top and the bottom. It has happened to one of my friends a few months ago and she never knew how to fix it and when the same thing happened to me today, I had to find solutions to this problem. I have not found any solutions to this problem whatsoever. Please help me fix this as I do not have an apple store nearby and I have been searching around the internet all day. Thanks!

    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Console in the icon grid.
    Select the most recent panic log under System Diagnostic Reports. Post the entire contents — the text, please, not a screenshot. In the interest of privacy, I suggest you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header and body of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.) Please don't post shutdownStall, spin, or hang reports.

  • I am trying to play my ipod shuffle 1st gen in itunes but it will not play. My windows 7 computer recognizes the ipod and I can easily select the songs on my ipod playlist in itunes but cannot play them. Any solutions to the problem?

    I get the feeling some has asked a question "like" this but not exactly that question which makes it really hard for find answers fast to the above question. Therefore, I decided to ask it anyway. Hopefully someone has a good solution that will work.
    Background on the question:
    - I had to erase and reupload song on my ipod 1st gen to my new computer. Apparently the ipod could not be read by the iTunes in my new computer because the playlist cannot be opened in more than one iTunes or in another computer or something like that (this makes no sense). All this was to try and charge my ipod that does not seem to want to charge. It connects perfectly to the computer and I can see the initial blinking yellow lights on the back and front, but won't charge. I am currently working on this problem from other community discussion topics.

    Sync works the same way it always has, connect the device, select the content desired to sync and sync.
    All the media should be in iTunes already, iDevices are not and have never been backup devices.
    If this is a new computer, move the content from the old computer to the new computer.

  • My internet plug-ins don't function. That is Flash, Adobe reader, Silverlight and I don't know what else. Any solutions to the problem?

    I'm using Firefox 11 on an Intel iMac OS 10.6.8. This problem has just presented itself. First noticed it after intalling the latest Flash plug in 11.2.
    Then realised that in fact I wasn't able to read a pdf on a web site or watch videos that need Microsoft Silverlight. Tried cleaning temp files and cookies, and
    restoring permissions which were corrupted for Flash and Java script but to no avail. Anyone with any ideas please?

    Firefox does not support most plug-ins.
    But there is a workaround!
    Open Firefox and type in the address bar: about:config (no spaces) and click return. This gives you a warning that it might harm the application. Ignore that and click on 'I'll be careful, I promise' and you get the config file that you can edit - with great care.
    Look/search (scroll down) for: firefox.plugins.enabled
    Set it to true. (Double click it to toggle it)
    Now close Firefox, open it again, and Flash etc will now work, as it now uses the plug-ins that Safari has stored.

  • Power and battery lights are dim. Any solution to this problem?

    Yesterday, I was on my computer searching online when all of a sudden the computer just shuts down by itself.
    I was wondering why it did that and I thought it was going to restart but never did. I tried to turn it back on, but nothing didn't happen. I saw the power light on or "the power button" but it was dim. Then the battery and the power light in the front left side of the computer [LED lights] was also dim. I tried taking the battery out and hold down the power light button for 30 sec...still not turning on and still get the same results. It also does the same when I leave the battery off and just plug in the adapter. Don't know how to fix this problem and I have a compaq presario cq61. Do anyone know what''s the cause of this problem??

    Were there any modifications made prior to getting this? I would try system restore first to isolate the oftware issue. Looking at this, may appear to be a hardware.
    I would call tech support on this. And check my options.
