Numbers functions lost...

Please, do anyone know if it is possible in Numbers 3.01 that when I have to type similar texts in cells of the same column, numbers could repeat the text after typing the first letters or suggest similar words, like It used to be on Numbers 9, Excel and many others?
It is very annoying having to type hundreds of times the same words!!!
Thanks!!

This feature was dropped and Apple is planning to add this, and other features, back:

Don't forget about copy and paste to save all that typing

Numbers' Functions and Formulas in Multiple Cells, Tables, and Sheets

Hello,
I'm stuck with specifics that center around usage, and I get the funny feeling I'm overlooking a simple detail or two.
If I may, here goes.
I'm working with a single spreadsheet that has several sheets within it, and each sheet has an identical table. Each table is used to record various data, and I use an additional table in a separate sheet to consolidate some of the information, so that I can track results, at a glimpse, by looking at averages, totals, etc.
Each data table is organized for consolidation by tracking wins, ties, or losses. It is important to know that each data table only records a single win, tie, or loss along with its other applicable data. And on the actual consolidation table I am trying to tally specific data fields by the use of Numbers' functions and formulas, yet I wish to keep these tallied results organized by the determining factor of whether or not they were gathered from a table that recorded a win, a table that recorded a tie, or a table with a loss.
To illustrate, each table contains data fields that record start time, finish time, elapsed time, the day of the week, etc. Let's say I have eight tables, and the first two are winning tables, three more are tables that record a tie, and the last three are losing tables. For example, on my consolidated data table I wish to enter a function and formula capturing which of the eight tables are wins, ties, and losses so that I can, at a glance, see how much time elapsed to obtain the wins, ties, and losses. So then, in this example, for wins I want to determine which of those wins took 20 minutes, or which of them took 15 minutes, etc. So then, out of the two wins, let's say both of them took 20 minutes each. I need the numeral 2 to be counted and recorded on the consolidation table since only two tables match the criteria. And I would do the same for all remaining data fields (e.g., start time, finish time, etc.). Just so long as everything is determined by wins, ties, and losses, and then organized by the respective data fields. Simply put, this example determines a total of two wins that meet the data field requirement of 20 minutes. Out of the eight tables (one table per sheet) any other wins would then be organized according to the specific data in the elapsed time data field on it's data table (e.g., 5 minutes, 15 minutes, etc.).
The exact syntax structure of the functions and formula I'm unsuccessfully using follows below. It only seems to return a result of 1, and I think it is returning this value from the IF Statements. By the way, the Win, Tie, or Loss cell in each data table is cell formatted as a pop-up so I can either select None or 1. But in this example I'm basing this on the time period of 20 minutes, and out of the eight data tables I have two wins which also record the time period as 20 minutes, so I should see 2 and not 1 in the 20 minutes column of the consolidated data table. Also, I tried changing the syntax where I would type "=1" in the IF Statements, but it returned a result of =1, and if I don't include the equals sign and quotation marks the result just shows up as 1.
My Syntax:
IF(Trade 1::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Win', 1, IF(Trade 2::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Win',1, IF(Trade 3::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Win',1, IF(Trade 4::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Win',1, IF(Trade 5::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Win',1, IF(Trade 6::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Win',1, IF(Trade 7::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Win',1, IF(Trade 8::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Win',1, IF(COUNTIFS(Trade 1::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Time in Trade (in minutes)', "=20m")+COUNTIFS(Trade 2::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Time in Trade (in minutes)', "=20m")+COUNTIFS(Trade 3::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Time in Trade (in minutes)', "=20m")+COUNTIFS(Trade 4::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Time in Trade (in minutes)', "=20m")+COUNTIFS(Trade 5::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Time in Trade (in minutes)', "=20m")+COUNTIFS(Trade 6::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Time in Trade (in minutes)', "=20m")+COUNTIFS(Trade 7::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Time in Trade (in minutes)', "=20m")+COUNTIFS(Trade 8::'Data Recorded (1)' '* Time in Trade (in minutes)'))))))))))
Please bear in mind that the COUNTIFS portion of the above syntax structure is something I'm already successfully using to count the totals of other things not mentioned above, and I'm hesitant to delete it since it already works to my satisfaction when I want to, for example, determine the total number of overall wins. So, just for illustration purposes, I might have an overall wins column in my consolidation table that records how many wins there are, regardless of organization by elapsed time, or any other data field. In other words, the COUNTIFS syntax structure already works to my satisfaction. I'm not sure if it's possible to alter it so that it isn't so long, but what's there does work just when counting total numbers, as just mentioned.
In summary, I'm wondering which function I can use with the COUNTIFS function to determine which of my eight data tables are winning tables, but break those wins down further based on criteria like elapsed time, and in the above example the time elapsed is 20 minutes. As you may see above, I'm unsuccessfully using the IF function. Finally, I've looked at the function browser descriptions of things like LOOKUP, HLOOKUP, VLOOKUP, INTERSECT.RANGES, and a few others. And so far I haven't made good use of any of them the way I've done when I use the COUNTIFS function by itself when only counting overall totals. But now I must determine totals that meet certain criteria, as explained above.
Please help if you dare (smile). This is a huge project I'm undertaking, and so as not to cause confusion I have not included all of the details. But rather, I've taken a small sampling and set it to the side for experimentation. If this small sample works out to my satisfaction I can simply copy and paste the syntax in all other respective cells in the consolidation table, changing only reference locations, and perhaps conditions or values. One thing is certain, I don't intend on giving up on it.
Thank you for your time and advice.
Blessings!

Added image.

I'd like to edit the last paragraph of my second posting, but for some reason an entirely new posting is being created when I attempt to do this. So when reading this post, please use it to replace only the last paragraph of my second post containing the four inserted images.
Last paragraph begins:
In closing, I need each cell in each column of each row in my consolidation table to remain as is. I have my reasons for doing this, and they all serve a specific purpose. The only exception would be the formatting of the last three rows as footer rows. Most importantly, and I should have made this abundantly clear earlier, my apologies, I need a single function and formula in cell E7 of my consolidation table that will firstly determine which data tables are winning tables while secondly and simultaneously counting which of those winning tables have elapsed times of 20 minutes. Perhaps, now this better explains why my syntax is written the way it is written. In the example I provided, if the proper function and formula were written it would result as 2 in cell E7 in my consolidation table. If there is anything else specific you need of me in order to assist me, please request it. Thank you.
Last paragraph ends:
Additionally, to t quinn:
First off, thank you for returning to assist me. I really do appreciate your efforts. Please be aware that I'm avoiding going into details about each and every portion of my spreadsheet because I wish to avoid discussion that is off topic. As I stated earlier, I'm new to using these features of Numbers. My spreadsheet encompasses a much larger amount of data than I'm referring to in the example in my first post. But in my example I'm isolating just the information concerning what I'm now trying to accomplish to finish my spreadsheet project. Moreover, most of what I've done up to this point I was able to figure out on my own, or get help from watching videos on YouTube, or simply using the application help menu. Please be aware that I consulted all of these, repeatedly. I even contacted AppleCare, and was told this sort of support is not available. In spite of this, I've accomplished a great deal in my first large spreadsheet project. Please be aware that when I wrote my second post and specifically responded to you, I didn't want to be rude or ungrateful, and I still don't, but maybe the suggestions you and Hiroto made about gathering the count of wins, ties, and losses are something I've already done. I think I've done that separately. These counts are already in separate cells, and they are working fine. In my first post where I inserted only one image you can see examples of this in my consolidation table image, in cells B3 and E6. I apologize for not making this abundantly clear earlier. Furthermore, the portion of my syntax that shows the COUNTIFS is the exact way I accomplished this, and it is written the way it is written because I need separate sheets, each with their own data tables. Again, in cell E7 I need to determine which of the eight data tables that record wins are also recording 20 minutes, but I need this in a single function and formula with the result appearing only in cell E7. Once this is figured out I will adjust the syntax to do the same thing with every column (these are not shown but they exist) in my consolidation table for the last three footer rows, named Win Column Totals, Tie Column Totals, and Loss Column Totals. The last three rows being footer rows may not be necessary, and if so, I can convert them back to normal rows. Nonetheless, my consolidation table is counting the totals of all data in all data tables. This much I've already accomplished. Now I have one last function and formula I'm working on in order to determine which of the eight data tables record wins, ties, or losses while it simultaneously counts which of the wins, ties, or losses fall within certain categories like elapsed time, and this will be shown on my consolidation table only in the last three rows. Yes, I've gotten the total wins counted, and separately counted the total number of times 20 minutes was the elapsed time used, but so far, just looking at my consolidation table I don't know if the total number of times 20 minutes was used was with a win, tie, or loss. That's what I need to know now. Everything else is already accomplished. So then my consolidation table will show the totals for all data fields in my eight data tables as illustrated in cells B3 and E6. The last three rows of my consolidation table will break this down in a single function and formula with one row for wins, a second for ties, and a third for losses. And each of these respective last three rows will in the same function and formula determine if the win, tie, or loss also is one of the data fields in my eight data tables. How? By the use of columns in my consolidation table. Remember, each of my eight data tables are identical. In the example in my first post I only used one data field, elapsed time (Time in Trade), to illustrate in one column on my consolidation table what I'm trying to accomplish with all of the columns not shown in my consolidation table. Once this is figured out I can adjust it to complete the remainder of the consolidation table. Thank you, t quinn.
To all reading this and attempting to offer assistance, if for any reason I'm still not explaining myself clearly, please continue to ask me more specific questions. I realize it's hard to communicate this way, and if Apple allowed us to upload the actual spreadsheet it would make this entire forum a better place to communicate. But that's going off topic, so let's simply focus on the matter at hand. Thank you.
Blessings!

Join numeric with join numbers function

Hi ! a small question from a guy that didnt use labview for a while !
i need to use the join number function to join two DBL number A and B to form a new number A.B, just like the join numbers function
in the example i would like the results after the join number function to be 1.5
however i understand that the function merge bytes/words together and the result is far from what i expect .... any ways to
A and B are extracted from modbus READ register command and are unsigned 16 bit
seems easy enough but i need a good refreshment on how those bits, bytes and numeric works together.. doh !
thank for everyone involved, Kudos to all labview champions!
Solved!

Hi yan,
it seems you really need a refreshment on all those bits/bytes/numeric representations
Typecasting floats (DBL) to U16 will probably never result in the desired value.
Why do you convert your U16 modbus values to DBL anyway? Stick with U16 and you will have no problems using JOIN or any other bit-banging function...

I am facing a problem with my iPhone 4. I applied the first syncing with outlook 2007 by choosing the "merge" option. At the end of the process, some contacts are correctly sync, but most are only sync with the names. Numbers are lost. Any suggestion?

I would love to do this as well. All I need is my calendar appts from outlook. Right now I am using google calendar sync, but I would like to move to the cloud and away from google. I find it hard to believe there isn't an option to do this.

Check Box functionally lost when visiblity is turned off then back on

Please pardon my attempt to ask a coherent question for I am new to Oracle Forms!
I have created a canvas using the layout wizard against an Oracle table. I needed to provide the means to select mulitple records for DELETION; so, I created a check box item beside the database items to allow the ability to select records to delete. I also allow the user to query this table in query mode against a couple of columns to help isolate records to be deleted. So far, I have gotten the expected functionality from the check box on the initial query of this form.
Now, heres my problem!
When I try to reduce the query result while in "ENTER_QUERY" (F7) mode, I intentionally make my check box item invisible. The thought being "I should not allow users opportunity select records for deletion while in the process of querying the table to fetch the records you will be deleting from!" Once I press F8 to execute the my query, I issue the following statements in my KEY-EXEQRY trigger:
set_item_property( 'EFIS_EMAIL_QUEUE.SELECTTODELETE', VISIBLE, PROPERTY_TRUE );
set_item_property( 'EFIS_EMAIL_QUEUE.SELECTTODELETE', ENABLED, PROPERTY_TRUE );
My results are displayed along with the check box to select records for deletion!
At thsi point, the functionally of the check box no longer works!
I get a forms error "(FRM-40200) Field is protected against update."
I look in the Property Palette under the Physical section and the Visible attribute is set to "Yes"!
Can someone tell me why turning the visible attribute "OFF*" and then back "*ON*" caused the lost functionity?*
What must I do to get this functionally back without abandoning this design premise?+
Is there some other attribute settings I must reset in addition to the two set_item_property issued above?+
Thanks in advance!
Les

Add to your code following statement
set_item_property( 'EFIS_EMAIL_QUEUE.SELECTTODELETE', UPDATE_ALLOWED, PROPERTY_TRUE );
and hopefully that should take care of your problem.

Numbers functions problem

I can't get my functions to show. I have used them before but can't now. If I dump the Numbers program and reload will I be charged again and wii I lose my spreadsheets?

Busy day, so just getting back to your request. Here's what I have for you to consider:
Fill Data table, Column B with:
=IF(COUNTIF(OFFSET($A$1, 0, 0, ROW()), A)=1, MAX(OFFSET($A$1, 0, 1, ROW()-1))+1, "")
Fill ListDistincts table, Column A with:
=IFERROR(OFFSET(Data :: $A$1,MATCH(ROW()-1,Data :: B,0)-1,0),"")
Fill ListDistincts table Column B with:
=COUNTIF(Data :: A,A)+ROW()/1000
Fill RankDistincts table, Column A with:
=LOOKUP(LARGE(ListDistincts :: $B,ROW()-1), ListDistincts :: B,ListDistincts :: A)
Fill RankDistincts table, Column B with:
=COUNTIF(Data :: A,A)
Column B in the Data table finds the distinct text strings that you want to identify and count.
The ListDistincts table is an intermediate table that can be hidden. I created it to allow the topics to be listed by frequency of occurrence in the last table.
Are we close?

JDialog.... functionality lost

Hi,
I have created a Frame that consist of 2 JPAnels.
I haev a button one one of the JPanel that whn pressed pops up a dialog box.
This works fine, but when I close the dialog box one of my panels in the frame will not work properly. i.e. one of the buttons functionality doesnt work.
Secondly I have a problem with a Icon image. I have the image displayed via IconImage and JLabel. But the image is never displayed to the screen unless i resize the window???
any ideas??
thansk in advance

I basically have 2 problems now. Firstly the image doesnt appear unless I resize the window, and when i move the dialog box off the screen, the image gets erased. similar to the eraser in paintbrush. I have tried doing repaint() and nothing.
And finally, the functionality is lost in the main frame when i close the dialog box
please help!!
thanks
This is a code snippet from the JFRAME that calles the dialog
class ButtonActionListener
implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
DialogBox dialog = new DialogBox (frame, true);
dialog.setSize(100,100);
dialogsetVisible(true);
This is a snippet of the dialog. I have called this class DialogBox
private void buildGui() {
GridBagConstraints gc = new GridBagConstraints();
Container c = this.getContentPane();
c.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
ImageIcon image;
String image= getPic(1);

panel .add(iconLabel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
JButton button = new JButton("Answer");
gc.gridx = 0;
gc.gridy = 0;

Hp 35s integrating with complex numbers/functions

Are there any examples of how to integrate a complex function for
the HP 35s..the manual suggests its possible..but, I can not find one
example...anywhere... I am just interested in testing.....I do
not want to break things into parts etc...I just want to try
e^z for example, where z is complex..any help?
I have tried xiy, rTheta, x+iy...syntax errors or non existent..funny

Hi,
The manual states that complex numbers can be used with EXP(x), but it does not mention anything about using complex numbers for integration. Edit: I missed some text in the manual, see below.
As far as I can tell it cannot do integration with complex numbers. (The 50g can do this.)
However, you may get a more definitive answer if you ask your question here:
http://www.hpmuseum.org/cgi-sys/cgiwrap/hpmuseum/forum.cgi
EDIT: that forum has moved to a new version:

Is it possible to extend Numbers' function list?

Hi,
I like Numbers, but, sadly, can't use it that much for my options trading because it lacks some important statistical functions like normdist().
Is it at all possible to extend Numbers myself to add this function? Its not hard to compute, but isn't the sort of thing you can do in a single expression.
Please advise.

Hello
This would require a single addition: the MACRO() function which is available in AppleWorks.
From my point of view it's a pity that they dropped it but *maybe I am in the 20% users which need it*

Epson Scan function lost when I switched to Win7.

I used PSE2 for a long time with my Epson Stylus Photo RX620. It had a very user-friendly Photomerge function and I used the File>Import to scan with my printer heavily. When I bought PSE8, I found that neither of these things were user-friendly anymore, and some functionality was missing, so I continued to user PSE2 for photo editing. Recently I upgraded from Win XP to a new laptop with Win7. I've lost the Epson Scan completely, in PSE2 and PSE8. The folks at Epson tell me that (although their website says differently) the Epson Stylus Photo RX620 is incompatible with Win7, and indeed, we have tried every driver we can get our hands on without success. I asked them what model might be compatible with PSE2/PSE8/Win7 and they were not willing to recommend. I would like to hear from anyone who is familiar with the features of PSE2 and might advise me on what I can and cannot get back in either 2 or 8, and what printer might be compatible.

You can try VueScan for Windows 7 to see if it works with your scanner.

Also, for Windows 7, did you try installing a driver for Vista? I have noticed that Vista drivers always work in Windows 7. It is worth a try.
Good luck.

Question on Numbers Functionality

Hello,
I am sorry if something like this was already posted - I searched and could not find it.
I just bought my first iMac (first Mac of any kind) yesterday and had iWorks preinstalled. I am a somewhat advanced Excel user, and do not want to have to load Excel on my Mac.
What I need to do is automatically generate one spreadsheet from another, parsing through data and selecting only the matching values and setting them in the new sheet or workbook. I do this with VBA Macros in Excel.
I was wondering if this is possible with Numbers? I have seen that there is no VBA type scripting support, so while I wait for my machine to arrive I was hoping to see if someone could tell me if there is a way to do this or will I need to install windows and Excel?
Thanks!

Thanks for the suggestion. I followed up with Cross Over Mac presales support and they told me Macros are not functional in Cross Over Mac.
I am going to try to use Open Office Calc for my purposes. I recreated my macros in the windows version while I wait for my iMac to arrive. Hopefully tomorrow!
I noticed another post which used applescript to export data from a spreadsheet. Is it possible to use applescript as a seperate program to access data in a Numbers Spreadsheet, and create new spreadsheets? My functionality doesn't need to be embedded in the spreadsheet itself, just needs the ability to open the spreadsheet, read the data and copy it to a new spreadsheet and format it.
Thanks.

HP Deskjet 3055A scan functions lost.

I have recently bought my first Macbook Pro (yey) and I can't get my HP Deskjet 3055A to scan.
My Macbook will recognise it as a printer fine but I seem to have lost all Scanning functions which is rather annoying.
Is it something Im doing wrong or is it an 'Apple'ism??? Ive tried searching for a driver to download from the HP website but there is none to download.
Your help is appreciated

Hey PGTwits,
Congratulations on getting your new MacBook Pro. Let's see if we can get you up and running on using your scanner.
There are a few articles related to scanning from a Mac that I would suggest you read -
OS X Yosemite: Set up a scanner - Apple Support
OS X Yosemite: Scan images or documents
OS X Yosemite: Scanning troubleshooting
If you are still having issues after going through those, please repost with more details about what is not working and we will continue to assist.
Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.
Be well,
Brett L

[SOLVED] hostname functionality lost

After a recent update I see that most of hostname's functionality is lost. Unfortunately I use it in many scripts etc. What is the "correct" alternative now? I installed yp-tools but it does not include any hostname binary (or variant thereof).
I obviously can compile net-tools (and/or it's components) myself but is there a formal package (or AUR) with the original functionality?

I think you misunderstand. The issue is caused by the OFFICIAL ArchLinux changes within the net-tools package that provides hostname. Specifically, this change I believe:
http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … e7496e09cb (1.60-15).
EDIT: Ah. NVM, it appears 1.60-18 rectified this: http://projects.archlinux.org/svntogit/ … 478efd36ce
