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.

  • No cell seperator shown after adding rows to table

    Hi All,
    I'm trying to add rows for the user to click on to 'add new' similar to the contacts application. It works, but when the new row displays it has no separator. My code is inside the setEditing overridden method as shown...
    - (void)setEditing:(BOOL)editing animated:(BOOL)animated {
    // call super first
    [super setEditing:editing animated:animated];
    // add/remove placeholder items
    [self.tableView beginUpdates];
    NSMutableArray *indexPaths = [[NSMutableArray alloc] init];
    for (int g=0; g < editGroups.count; g++)
    if ([[editGroups objectAtIndex:g] isArray])
    // get the count of objects for this group
    SEL propertySelector = NSSelectorFromString([[[[editGroups objectAtIndex:g] editFields] objectAtIndex:0] fieldName]);
    [indexPaths addObject:[NSIndexPath indexPathForRow:[[editObject performSelector:propertySelector] count] inSection:g]];
    if (editing)
    // Show the placeholder rows
    [self.tableView insertRowsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationFade];
    else
    // Hide the placeholder rows.
    [self.tableView deleteRowsAtIndexPaths:indexPaths withRowAnimation:UITableViewRowAnimationTop];
    // send object did update message to delegate
    [delegate didUpdateObject];
    [self.tableView endUpdates];
    Thanks
    Ray

    I just found the problem, and for anyone else out there with the same issue. I had to remove the [super setEditing:editing animated:animated] at the beginning of my method. My super is UITableViewController, and for some reason calling the super on this method causes the seperator lines to vanish.
    Thanks All

  • Missing inventory & COGS transaction after adding credit memo

    Dear All,
    There is an problem that the inventory and COGS transaction is missed out after adding credit memo.
    Not all the transaction is like that, but only a few. i am wondering what action can cause this result.
    Do anyone has any idea?
    The case is like, in the Sales - A/R -> Return -> Accounting Tab -> Journal Remark, it should have an "orange arrow" and can drill down to see the transactions, it should have both the cr. and dr., but for some Returns, it didn't has any, therefore it affect the GL amount.
    Please kindly help on this, million thanks

    Dear All,
    i don't really understand the meaning in the solution in the note # 1057515, hopefully someone can help on this:
    Q1. "these transactions will set the cost price independently of what was defined in the Item Master Data.The possibility to set the cost price in the Item Master Data was created to accommodate the   scenario above. The Item Cost field is only active when there is no onhand quantity."
    Q2. What's the function of the "Stock Revaluation" ?
    Million thanks

  • 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)

  • Why does Visual STudio 2012 References keep showing Exclamation mark (which means assembly is missing) even after I specify the exact path?

     Our web application at work requires Visual Studio 2012
    For one of the projects within the Visual Studio 2012 Web Application Solution, we need the System.Web.Mvc in the References.
    I already have the following in the packages folder:
    {blah...blah..Visual Studio Solution path..blah}\packages\Microsoft.AspNet.Mvc.5.1.1\lib\net45\System.Web.Mvc.dll
    I keep adding it, but the References still shows the Exclamation mark ( which means missing) next to the System.Web.Mvc
    Why does it keep showing the Exclamation mark ( which means missing) , even after I specify the exact path to the System.Web.Mvc.dll ?

    Hi cslewis33,
    Thank you for posting in MSDN forum.
    Based on your issue, if you want to add the System.Web.Mvc reference for a web application in VS2012. As far as l know that the System.Web.Mvc dll is default be located like this path:" C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft ASP.NET\ASP.NET MVC 4\Assemblies\System.Web.Mvc.dll.
    So if you create the web app using c# language, I suggest you can right-click your Reference under the we application -> Add Reference->select the System.Web.Mvc in the Assemblies tab.
    If the above suggestion still could not help you, I suggest you can consult this issue directly to the ASP.NET forum:http://forums.asp.net/ , maybe you will get better support.

    Hi Marius,
    I think this problem could be linked to the changes in the layout API and the order of the loading of the video elements.
    Please try to add layoutmetadata with index property to parallel videos so they render in the correct order, something like:
                var layout1:LayoutMetadata = new LayoutMetadata();
                layout1.index= 10 ;
                videoElement.addMetadata(LayoutMetadata.LAYOUT_NAMESPACE, layout1);
                var layout2:LayoutMetadata = new LayoutMetadata();
                 layout2.index= 20 ;
                 vpaidNonLinear.addMetadata(LayoutMetadata.LAYOUT_NAMESPACE, layout2);
    Tell me if that worked,

  • Photos missing from Recently Added, Collections after IOS8 update

    After I uptaded my IPad Air to IOS 8, photos were missing from Recently Added and Collections. (I understand Camera Roll and Photo Stream are gone.) My Recently Added photos dated to June (it's September) and my shared IPhone photos were missing from both the Collections/Moments where everything is supposed to be  now. Photos In Last Import are also from June. I was fumbling through the Comminties threads and found a partial solution on a related IPhone thread. I can't figure out how to link to it, but someone called Apple tech and they suggested going to Settings/Photos & Camera and toggling My Photo Stream off and then on again. I was reluctant to do this since a pop-up warns that all photos in your stream will be deleted. But as soon as I did it, aphotos started downloading to the Recently Added. They're out of chronological order, and there are duplicates, but at least they haven't all disappeared. (Also, not w complaint, but my Recently Added goes back to 2011, not 30 days.) Photos are still missing from Last Import and Collections. Any other ideas? At least now this feels recoverable, I'll put everything in Albums quick.

  • EDIT method doesn't work after adding new row

    I would like to start editing after adding new row into TableView.
    I copied example from Oracle website: [Using JavaFX UI Controls - 13 Table View|http://docs.oracle.com/javafx/2/ui_controls/table-view.htm#CJAGDAHE]. Then I put additional button for adding new row and define action for the button.

                table.edit(table.getSelectionModel().getSelectedIndex(), table.getColumns().get(2));
        });In result I can see selected new row but the table doesn't start edditing in the third column.
    I have similar method for editing existing rows and it works properly.

  • Keep track of reference of a row added to Jtable

    Hello All,
    I need to keep track of reference of a row which is being added in JTable.
    Let suppose that I adds a row in JTable based on an object (instantiated of a class say FileUploader class). Now I adds a row whenever FileUploader class is being instantiated. The FileUploader Class is responsible to upload a file.
    1) Now suppose that there are 100 rows (of course based on 100 object of FileUploader class).
    2) User can remove single or multiple row (by means of cancel the process of upload or clear the row in the JTable for which file has successfully uploaded).
    3) I need to update a particular cell of JTable based on the status of a particular object of class FileUploader.
    One way of doing this is by using for loop on whole table to find out the corresponding row (based on some key taken from table). But this will make the application very slow.
    So, to do this, I need to have the reference of the row when it is being added in the JTable.
    How can I make it working? Please suggest.
    Thank you

    You are right that iterating over 100 times is not slow. But what will happen if there are 10000 rows.
    I am new to JTable. In my application, when user drag and drop some files / folder, a row is being added in the JTable to show the status of process (pending, ProgressBar, Completed or Error in one cell based on the current status of file / folder ) along with some more info in other cell ( like fileName, FromDir, ToDir, Size, and a hyperlink type text for action - clear, cancel, retry).
    Now FileUploader is an class which is responsible for uploading (it has a method upload() in it which is called by a daemon thread).
    So to update a particular cell (in which pending / ProgressBar/ etc is shown), I need to find the particular row which is showing the status of a file / folder.
    How can I do it (without iterating over these no. of times again and again).
    Is there any better approach to do this.

  • Missing nodes in new GPO objects after adding ADMX to DC (Server 2008 Domain Functional Level 2003)

    Hello,
    we discovered an issue in GPO console.
    DCs: multiple 2008 there is one 2003DC somewhere over the rainbow (don't ask why) :)
    Domain Functional Level is 2003.
    In June I added Policydefinitions folder into Policy folder in sysvol\domain_name.
    I did this for adding ADMX.
    Today we found missing nodes when adding new GPO objects and trying to modify them.
    Under Computers\Administrative Templates there is only ADMX node. No Administrative Templates with sub nodes: Systeme, Network, Printes, Windows Components.
    When edit old GPOs There is Administrative Templates in Administrative Templates with ADMX folder. SEE Screenshot.
    My colleague insists that it happened after I made changes by adding ADMX things. Looks that he is right.
    Please any help on this issue... How to get back nodes for managing new GPOs as it was before adding ADMX.
    Is this something known? I didn't find any prerequisites before adding PolicyDefinistions folder.
    Thanks.

    Meinolf,
    1. I would like to know if it is normal behaviour that after creating a Central Store (adding PolicyDefinitions folder into Policies) Classical Administrative Templates will not appear for any new GPO (they do exist to all previously created) see
    picture
    2. I followed the links. And eventually will use the script for cleaning up duplicate adms  in all GPOs. It is great feature of ADMX. But first I would like to bring back the option of Admin Templates.
    So I downloaded latest 2012 ADMXs. Run setup on my computer. Now I have Policydefinitions folder containing new ADMXs with languages (culture) folders.
    Am I right? I have to copy all *.admx files to my Central Store Policydefinitions folder and all En admls drop to En-Us language folders. What will happen if I will add Fr-Fr? Would it be correct to have 2 languages for the same admxs. And how they will
    appear. Or it will depend on OS language were GP console will be opened?
    No conflict to expect?
    I will do this "surgery" after your answer.
    Thanks for pointing out..

  • Field "Location of Linked Object" missing after adding a page to a role

    I am using EP5 (5.06.01.00). After adding a page to a role, the properties of the page in the role no longer include the field "Location of Linked Object". The properties now only consist of two fields: "Name" and "Location". They used to contain a third field "Location of Linked Object", in fact, in older roles the page properties still contain this field. However, when I now add pages to a role or workset, this third property field "Location of Linked Object" is not there. - I am adding the page by clicking the "Add" button to move a page from the "View" area to the role in the "Edit" area. - I have been observing this symptom for several months, but I can not identify any configuration changes or upgrades which would have caused this behavior.
    All hints will be greatly appreciated.

  • Adding row at a table in indesign CS6 from javascript

    I have a table in my indesign page.It has one column and several rows. I want to add a row at the begining of the table  and add some text content to it.
    I tried some provided code but none have worked.
    This is how i reference the table object.
    var mytable =myPage.textFrames.item(0).tables.item(0);
    I tried each the following but none worked and gave an error
       mytable.rows[0].cells[0].insertionPoints[0].contents =  "TEST TEST";
       mytable.rows.add( LocationOptions.AFTER, mytable.rows[-1] );
       mytable.rows.add( LocationOptions.Before, mytable.rows[0] );
    What should i do?

    I am actually looping over every page in my indesign file, every page contains 1 textframe with text inside it. I add a new textframe to the page and then move the new textframe content into the begginning of the existing textframe then delete the created one
    myPage = myDocument.pages.item(x);
    myTextFrame = myPage.textFrames.item(0);
    newframe = myPage.textFrames.add();
    newframe.contents ="TEST TEST" ;
    newframe.paragraphs[0].appliedFont = app.fonts.item("Times New Roman");
    newframe.paragraphs[0].fontStyle = "Bold";
                                                newframe.parentStory.paragraphs.item(0).words.item(0).move(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING,m yTextFrame);
    newframe.remove();
    This was working correctly on all files until i faced one with a table. The code stoppes at this line
    newframe.parentStory.paragraphs.item(0).words.item(0).move(LocationOptions.AT_BEGINNING,my TextFrame);
    and Indesign becomes Not Responding
    The table is visually inside the page textframe. I need to do the same logic when having a table i couldnt call the move function when the page has a table and not text in its textframe. I thought abt accessing the table in the page and adding a row at the beginning then writing in it what i need, alternative to what am doing with normal text instead of creating new frame and then moving text to original textframe at beginning.
    When my textframe.content="" i know that there is a table and i need to alter it. Otherwise i do add new frame ,move content then delete.
    Any suggestions?

  • Mixed phone numbers and names after sinc N9 and ov...

    I have problem with my contact list. After i synchonised my previous N79 with N9, everything was fine. AFter adding new contacts to the new phone i wanted to synchronise it with ovi, i did so but it made completely mess with all my contacts. I cant say if i miss any numbers but it was way worse, it has mixed up names and numbers without any sence so I realised that under name A i had a phonecontact of B and C. At some names were suddenly no phone numbers. And some of them were even doubled - like there was the same number saved under both A and B but it belonged to C. I hate it, had to rewrite all the ontact list manually along the old phone. That took me hours if anyone can imagine. Now Im not brave enough to try the sync again eventhough i need to do that... Anyone having the same problem or even better - solution?
