Numbers, moving a chart to another sheet

I need to move a chart to another numbers sheet. Using copy or cut and paste seems to get most of it done, but it makes copies of the chart into a bunch of individual cells!
Thanks for your help.

Have solved my problem...I pasted outside the existing table and it worked fine. Pasting inside table made copies of chart in every cell of table that I selected. Strange...difficult to explain. Learning numbers is an experience!

Moving a chart in numbers

Hi,
I'm a recent ex-Excel user and now i'm working with Numbers and well i'm a bit lost. I have to get rid of my old habits and get used to Numbers. Now I'm trying to make a chart on Sheet1 while data are on Sheet2, and I can't manage. I managed to create a chart with data on the same sheet so I thought I could move it on the right sheet, but it doesn't work either. Can somebody help me?

Hi Mischievious,
Here is a table with its associated Chart on the same Sheet:
Here is a shot of the Sheets Pane to the left of the Numbers window:
In the Sheets Pane, drag the Chart to another Sheet:
Table 1 on Sheet 2 is not the same as Table 1 on Sheet 1. The Chart will continue to take its data from Table 1 on Sheet 1. Numbers automatically adjusts the references when you move an object.
Regards,
Ian.

How to see origin range when chart on different sheet

When a chart is on a different sheet from the origin table, how can I see the origin cell range?
I can select the chart, but when I switch to the sheet with the table,the origin cells are not highlighted/coloured, making it impossible to extend the origin range (to include a newly added row, for instance).
How can I easily extend the range of a selection charted on another sheet?

Hello
I apologises, I didn't take care to the fact that datas where grabbed from different sheets.
I tested with datas from different tables belonging to a single sheet.
When you move the chart uses datas from different sheets I know no other soluce than moving the chart to find the the shheet in which cells are highlighted.
To get rid of that my own tip would be to use an auxiliary table containing references to all the blocks of data to chart. The chart would be drawn from this auxiliary table.
So, selecting the chart would highlight the source cells in the auxiliary table where we will find the formulas referencing the original cells.
I hope that my poor english was clear enough.
If necessary you may translate it in plain english

Hyperlink to another sheet

I am trying to add a hyperlink in my numbers document that links to another sheet in the document. For example if there is a list of sheets named 1-10 and there is one sheet with all the sheets listed. How do I make it so that I could click on the number and it takes me to that sheet.

What you describe is not supported in Numbers. What you can do is give your sheets descriptive names and scroll the tabs across the top of the document window with a mouse or trackpad and click on the one you want. The Sheet tabs can be organized by dragging.

Highlighting Source Data When Chart is been moved to Another Sheet?

Hi,
I know that when a chart is chosen, it's corresponding data becomes highlighted when the two (table and chart) are on the same sheet. Is there a way to highlight the data when the two are on separate sheets, so one could toggle between the two sheets and make changes as necessary? I know I can move the chart back to the data sheet, make the changes and then move it back again to its own sheet. I have to do this, anyway, if I want to crop the chart (without deleting data) or shift the data in the chart to the right by a column or two, for example, but it would be so much nicer, if I could just highlight the data 'remotely' from the chart, so-to-speak. I have a couple of other reasons for wanting to do this also:
(1) I make my charts almost full screen size, so moving them back to the data sheet cuts them off (tough to see any changes without scrolling or shrinking the chart).
(2) I have multiple data tables on one sheet with multiple charts to complement the data tables. Putting all the charts and data on the same sheet can make for one very untidy sheet no matter how big the screen.
I've looked around on the forum and in Numbers Help, but found only one reference to moving charts to separate sheets. Unfortunately, it didn't address this particular issue. If I can suggest this to the Numbers developers, where can I go?
Thanks!

Hello
The only workaround that I found is to use an auxiliary table in the sheet where you display the chart.
In this auxiliary table the used formula is:
=Feuille 1 :: Tableau 1 :: A

I have a table that I want to mirror on another sheet in Numbers

I have a table that I want to mirror on another sheet in Numbers. Ideally it would be from another file but it looks like numbers doesn't support this right now.
It would be used to combine several regions into one national table file. Is doing the = for each cell the most efficient way to do this? Below is a screenshot of how my data is formatted. This list would be around 30 rows but it could be anywhere from 1 - 150 for each of 8 regions each having their own table. I want to combine all of those into a master list for the national file.
It also appears that the checkmark box for data does not copy as well. It returns false but formatting it back into a checkbox loses the = functionallity and it won't update.

Hi Brandon,
Rather than having eight regional tables and then struggling to consolidate them, have you considered having one table and then extracting regional views and data from it? In many situations that can be more efficient.
To get a regional view from the master table you could use a filter, something like this (substitute Region for Type):
And extract sums and counts using a summary table for each region, something like this:

Can't link to a cell in another sheet at certain point

Hello,
this is the first time I use the support communities.
I have a continuing promblem with numbers ( v. 2.3). I'm working on a projekt for my univerity and are quite familiar with number. But at a certain point it get's impossible to link to another cell on a different sheet! This works fine until a certain point (which I actually don't know).....
I do the same stuff which I did very often before but it dosent work....
1. I click on the cell I want to have the linked value in it
2. I press = to start linking.
3. I go to the cell i want to take the data from (in another sheet).
4. The Box becomes white with the name and position of the source cell in it. But when I klick enter it dosn't work....
I really don't have an idea what this could be... It worke fine in the same way before a few hundered times... Is there any limitation of link's between the single sheets or something?
I'm very glad for any help in this issue
Regards,
Gregor

On your last screenshot, you had moved off of the cell you were working on. The resulting formula/reference was not shown.
Becasue it is not in English, it is hard for me to tell for sure what might be going on. The reference in your third screnshot looked odd to me. In English it would be one of the following forms when referencing a cell on a different sheet:
Sheet name::Table Name::Cell address
Table Name::Cell Address
or, if "use header names as cell addresses" is on
Sheet name::Table name::column name row name
Table name:: column name row name
column name row name
The reference shown in your third screenshot doesn't seem to fit that pattern
I am assuming if you look at your resulting formula, the cell reference is not in a colored oval, it looks like plain text.
I've seen header names get misinterpreted by Numbers, like it can't figure them out and make a reference from them. If you are using header names as cell references, changing the names can fix it. Turning off that feature might also fix it. I don't use that feature usually; it often makes my formulas too long and complicated.
I have not seen a similiar problem with table and sheet names but you could try changing them to see if it helps.
Sometimes Numbers simply has a problem with a reference and you have to start over with the formula and it will work the next time. I don't know why, it just happens sometimes.

Numbers 3.5 (Incorrectly?) Activates Sheet When Processing Script

My earlier post was incorrectly marked as answered, so I have re-posted the original question along with a link to the first thread.
Updated Table Name Changes Applescript Operation in Numbers 3.5
I've been using Applescript in Numbers for some time to copy/paste data (set cell values) from one sheet table to another sheet table.
My original script was heavily cribbed from something Yvan Koenig had posted 2-3 years ago.
I recently updated to Yosemite and Numbers 3.5 after testing to ensure my original script remained functional (and it did).
I subsequently updated my source data table by duplicating my old table and editing this new source.
I then updated my Applescript to to reference the new source table.
Testing yielded a good functional result, but Numbers changed its behavior by displaying its work while setting values in the target sheet table.
This obviously slows the script down and adds measurable processing time given the amount of data being moved.
Does anyone know how I can prevent this behavior from occurring?
I don't believe I changed anything material in my original script so I'm really not sure why Numbers changed its behavior.
I have included my script below. Thanks very much for any help!

Hello
I don't use Numbers 3 and so this is a general advice. If the on-screen update is the cause of slowdown, you may simply hide the application. Like this.
tell application "System Events" to set process "Numbers"'s visible to false
-- main code here
tell application "System Events" to set process "Numbers"'s visible to true
Good luck,

Can I use a cell value to reference a table on another sheet?

I'm not sure if this is possible and I have had no luck with searches, here is what I am attempting to do...
On my first sheet I have a number of tables, each holding information on a service. Each table is named to match the service name.
On another sheet I have a list of clients that use these services, with the service name (to match the table name on the first sheet) in a cell in the client's row.
I would like to pull data from one of the cells on the Service table to include it in a concatenate formula in the clients row.
I was hoping to be able to use the value of the cell with the service name in it as part of the formula to reference the service sheet...
For example:
="something"&Services::B2::C6&"something"
Is this possible, or is there a way I can work around the auto corrections that numbers keeps applying?
Cheers

you can construct the text of a cell reference as a string by concatenating information then use the function indirect() to turn the string into a reference.
so you would do something like:
=indirect("something"&Services::B2::C6&"something")
this is assuming that "something"&Services::B2::C6&"something" results in a string that would be a valid reference.

Creating a "Print View" of a Table on Another Sheet

Hi-
I would like to create a "print view" of a table on another sheet that already has reorganization filters applied to it. There is a template in Numbers called "Employee Schedule" that has exactly this, where the "printable" table's cells simply reference every cell in the source table on the other sheet.
I know there is a way to very quickly (i think with a dragging motion), create the references in each cell in one or two operations, as opposed to going to each individual cell and typing in the reference to the source table. I saw a post about how to do this a while back but cannot seem to locate it again
How do I do this? Thanks again for everyones help ;-)
Thanks
Matt

Hi-
Re-reading this, I don't think this answered my question. I understand how to reference a single cell, but how do you reference an entire table easily without having to go to each cell.
Thanks

Matt,
Select the first cell by clicking once on it, such that the border is highlighted. Then grab the little circle in the lower right corner of the border and drag it to the end of your table, either right or down. You can use this method to fill down or to the right. Sometimes it can be fussy, and if it refuses to behave, then you can use the alternate method, Copy and Paste. Click once on the first cell and Command-C. Shift-click the last cell and Command-V.

Autocomplete from another table in another sheet in same file

I found how to get a price to autofill using VLOOKUP. I like it.
Now, I want to be lazier and not need to type in the full item name in the row heading completely & exactly every time. I also don't want to have a drop down menu in every item line in each table unless there is no better alternative. I would like Numbers to autofill from an inventory list (table with quantities, prices, etc.) in another sheet. It seems that I should have been able to find this function explained but my searches were inadequate.
Then, I will want Numbers to automatically update another column in the inventory table with the quantity of that item sold & the amount remaining which will cause calculations for the value remaining & sold in other columns (without changing the original inventory column). It seems to me that the formula may require numbers to search each table in each sheet for the item name in that row and add all sale quantities together. This means that the formulas would be constantly searching which sounds like it could slow things down a bit. So, again, maybe there's a more efficient way of doing this.
Please help me find these efficiency tools. ThankU

(1) A change in the original will propagate to the other table if the change is in the 'copied' row.
(2) what you require can't be achieve by a copy process.
It requires the use of external references which are perfectly described in the User Guide (page 122 in the English version).
(3) sure, a reference is a cell's attribute so you will have to enter it in every cell of the row.
When it's done for one row you may use the Fill Down tool which is also described (with quite all you need to use Numbers) in the User Guide.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

Hi Tom,
Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
Please explain what you are trying to do.
Regards,
Ian.

How can I copy a row from one sheet and paste it in a column in another sheet?

I would like to copy a row of numbers from one sheet and paste it into a column in another sheet. Is it possible to do this with numbers?

Hi Dennis,
Numbers doesn't have a built-in Paste Special > Transpose the way you have in Excel. However, there are ways to do this in Numbers that are not difficult.
Here are two ways:
Approach 1:
Select the row of numbers, and command-c to copy to the system clipboard.
Click on the canvas and command-v to paste, automatically creating a new table.
With that new table still selected, in your menu choose Table > Transpose Rows and Columns.
Select the cells in the transposed table, command-c to copy, click once in a cell of the destination column of your target table, and command-v to paste.
Approach 2: (after a quick installation, very similar to Excel's built-in Paste Special > Transpose)
Download this Copy Transpose Automator Service, and double-click to install (if necessary choosing Open Anyway in System Preferences > Security and Privacy).
Thereafter to use just:
select the row of numbers you want to copy
with the cells still selected, choose Copy Transpose from the Numbers > Services menu
click once in the destination column and command-v to paste the transposed values.
Note that the second approach does not handle cells with formulas, whereas the first approach will.

Insert data from another sheet

I have a problem;
I want to be able to create a drop down list on one sheet that references a table on another sheet. The data looks like this;
UNIT
Cost per day
unit a
10
unit b
20
unit c
30
I am hoping to create a Drop-down box on another sheet that lets me select a 'unit', and then places the Cost per day in the cell next to it.
Is this possible within numbers without a huge IF'cell'= formula?
My aim is to be able to use an iPad running Numbers to create instant quotes when onsite with clients, by referencing a data sheet but presenting it nicely.

Yes, VLOOKUP should work nicely for that. Set the formula up on one sheet and complete it by clicking the ranges in the lookup table on the other sheet.

Referencing another Sheet

Is there a way to reference another sheet in formscentral responses table? I want to have all the response data tabulated on one sheet and all the calculations on another.

Hello JKujak,
Yes, FormsCentral allows you to construct formulas referencing cells in tables on other sheets. There are two ways to do so:
Using Numbers-style references: MyOtherSheet::SomeTable::A1
Using Excel-style references: MyOtherSheet!SomeTable!A1
For example, both of these formulas equally refer to the cell C3 in the table Monthly, on the sheet Expenses:
= Expenses::Monthly::C3
and
= Expenses!Montly!C3
I hope this helps,
Marco
