Numbers Question, Finding Values In Multiple Sheets and Tables

I would like for a cell to be looking at all sheets, and calculate the Debt 1 or Debt 2 allocated funds. It would need to find the word, Debt 1 and take the number two cells to the right...I have attached a document to my webpage...
http://web.me.com/chris.ducasse/Forum/ForumBlog/Entries/2010/1/12009_Bi-Weekly_Budgets_ForForums.html

Hello
Working on the OP's document, I discovered a surprising odd behaviour.
In a table I grab datas from other tables using VLOOKUP.
The formula is :
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A$1,INDIRECT("Outgo "&ROW()&" :: A:C"),3,FALSE),0)
The cell in B1 grabs a value from table Outgo 1
The cell in B2 grabs a value from table Outgo 2
As the OP named its first table Outgo, when I named it Outgo 1,
I decided to edit the formula in cell B1. It becomes ::
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A$1,INDIRECT("Outgo :: A:C"),3,FALSE),0)
The funny behaviour is that in a sheet where there is no Outgo table (I had the "Outgo 1" one),
the formula continue to return the value grabbed from the table "Outgo 1".
For see, I renamed "Outgo 1" as "Outgo 3" with a different numerical value.
The formula referencing "Outgo" continue to return the value which was in "Outgo 1"
Continuing to play with this problem.
I edited the formula as:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A$1,INDIRECT("Outgo 3 :: A:C"),3,FALSE),0)
Bingo, it grabbed the value from the true Outgo 3 table.
One more time I edited the formula as:
=IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A$1,INDIRECT("Outgo :: A:C"),3,FALSE),0)
Son of a …, it gives again the value which was in the now unavailable table "Outgo 1".
I guess that it grabs it from the undo buffer but it's absolutely foolish.
Serious smelling of bug but I wish to know if you get the same behaviour in other machines (maybe something is odd on mine).
Happily, there is a way to get rid of this odd behaviour :
cut the entire formula
press return
The cell is now empty.
Select it then paste.
The pasted formula will have a correct behaviour.

Connecting multiple sheets and tables to names

I was looking at the sheet in the education section when you attempt to make a new spreadsheet and I got really impressed by the grades one that allows you to look at the summary of a student by typing the student name in the cell, I would like to do this but have no idea how they did it, I am currently trying to make an easily accessible spreadsheet for my Marines here in Iwakuni and could really use the help.

Hi Ruiri,
We could probably give you the best assistance if you told us more about how you plan to use the spreadsheet. As designed, the Grade Book template is a personal tool for an instructor who has access to a Mac with Numbers installed on it. Distribution would be by printing the Reports Sheet for individual students. This template is a good example of the use of LOOKUP functions.

How do I edit or enter values on multiple sheets at the same time in Numbers? I can do this Excel but don't know procedure in Numbers. Thanks.

How do I edit or enter values on multiple sheets at the same time in Numbers? I can do it in Excel but I don't the procedure in Numbers. Thank you!

The only I way I can think of to modify a single value and have that value change in multipl locations is to have all "the other places" reference a single cell. There is not way without a referene to modify a set of cells simulateously.
This may be something like what you want:
Enter a value in the table "Original Data" cell A1 and the A1 cells of tables Ref1, Ref2 and Ref2-1 will change

How to create a list based on a value in multiple sheets

I am trying to create a list in numbers that references a common value among multiple sheets. I have 4 sheets created for a fantasy football league (1 sheet for QB, 1 for Running Back, 1 for Wide Receiver and 1 for Tight End). I have assigned a value to each player listed on each individual sheet. I would like to create a 5th sheet that lists the players in order from highest to lowest value as they are marked on their position sheet. How would this be done in Numbers?
Thanks for the help!

Here is one possible solution:
I named the four data tables "QB", "RB", "TE", and "WR", and the 5th table, for lack of a better name "Summary".
NOTE: The first row OF EVERY TABLE is a header.
In the summary table:
A2=OFFSET(INDIRECT(A$1&" :: $A$1"), MATCH(LARGE(INDIRECT(A$1&" :: B"), ROW()-1), INDIRECT(A$1&" :: B"))-1, 0, 1, 1)
select A2 and fill to the right, then select A2 thru D2 and fill down as needed

For this requirement, you will need to retrieve all the lists objects you want firstly, then execute the requests one by one to get the value of the Title column using CAML or

Questions Re: (1) Creating Contact Sheets, and (2) Editing photos

Hello,
I have two questions about iPhoto '09:
(1) Regarding the creation of a contact sheet, how do I select more than one photo at a time?!? I open up my photos, click on a photo to choose it. If I try to click the next photo I want on the contact sheet, the first one is un-chosen. I click File > Print > Contact Sheet, and sure enough, only the most-recently chosen photo is the only one on the sheet.
(I have tried Edit > Select All > Print > Contact Sheet, but [as is implied in the "all" part of Select All], of course this results in a contact sheet full of photos I don't want.)
(2) Sometimes when I pick a photo to edit, click the Edit icon at the bottom of the window, get the enlarged pic and start editing, none of my changes show up i in the enlarged image. But when I click "Done," the changes are there in the image in the album. This is annoying, since while editing, I have to click "Done" to see the effect of a change every time I make one, and then start all over with the "Edit" icon, make more changes, click "Done" to see them, etc.
This does not happen with every photo. Weird.
Thanks, anyone, for ideas and help.

Welcome to the Apple user to user assistance forums
(1) Regarding the creation of a contact sheet, how do I select more than one photo at a time?!?
The same as all Mac selections:
- you can click on the first of a set of contiguous photos and then depress the shift key and click on the last of the set and select all photos from the first to the last
- you can click and drag across a set of photo to select the set
- you can click on a photo and then depress the command (apple) key and click on additional non-contiguous photos to select them
- you can make an album of the photos you want and display the album and select all
and on and on and on - there are many, many ways to select multiple photos
(2) Sometimes when I pick a photo to edit, click the Edit icon at the bottom of the window, get the enlarged pic and start editing, none of my changes show up i in the enlarged image. But when I click "Done," the changes are there in the image in the album.

quit iPhoto and with the finder Delete your iPhoto preference file - "your username" ==> library ==> preferences ==> com.apple.iPhoto.plist - launch iPhoto and it will create a new default preference file, set any personal preferences you want and if you have moved the iPhoto library repoint to it

Listview for new sheets and tables in numbers 3.0

Hi there,
when adding a new sheet or table in numbers 3.0 you get them in a horizontal bar under the symbol-bar.
If you need severals sheets it directly get confusing.
In numbers 09 numbers used to add new sheets in a list view on the left side of the window. And the tables
subordered to each sheet. Is there a possibility to change this view in numbers 3.0 to the same view
as used in numbers 9.0?
If not I will directly change again to 9.0 and hope the apple starts beeing again the big company they
used to be a couple of years ago. They start sucking!

Hi Yellowbox,
I apreciate your answer.
I already switched back to 9.0! To have the sheets and their subtables on left site in listview matches my business scenario. For making calculations for severals companies working on the same project, it is more comfortable to have one sheet per company and for each related service an exra table. For me it wouldn't be clear anymore while using 3.0.
Thanks again for your effort.
My big question is, way want somebody forcing you to do something like they think it should be!?
The machines are very powerful. So please let us work / use the tools as we feel the best.
The strategy to force someboy to used in a special manner, used to be typically for Microsoft.
This is one good reason why a lot of people switched to Apple! THINK DIFFERENT!!!! and not
THINK LIKE US!!!
Please rethink companies politics.
What is the matter of having Icloud if I only can load special material, with only certain special software releases?
What is the matter of having Fotostream if i am forced to delete a picture from every of my devices wich costs a lot of time! Where ist the option, delete from this advice or completey from icloud?

Why should I spent so much many to have the best computer equipment if I can't use it like i need it?
And please from release to release the system is more and more bothering and interacting with the user... this is one of the reason why Microsoft products are so horrible. When I am sitting on my computer I want WORK and not getting one alert, warning, interaction behind the other. I want work! I want to be effective! So please, give up from this method of interacting with the user.
Why has Iphoto to be so aggressive? I dont want to put pictures in events. And neither and predifend events respecting the time stamp! I just want to have a file watcher which keeps up to date a tree (with the manipulating options of Iphoto) of a certain folder structure. NOTHING ELSE!

Maybe I should switch again to SuSe Linux ;-)

Find value from another workbook and input cell value

I'm trying to add the cost of products from one workbook to match with another. Both 'Product' numbers are in both workbooks. I would like to match those product numbers and insert the cost from one workbook to the other. Can anyone help? I've searched and haven't been able to figure this out. Here are some images:
Image of workbook that I want to add the cost to:
Image of workbook I am taking the cost from:

wcousin,
let's get the terminology consistent:
a file contains a document and is stored on your hard drive. You open a file which, when open, presents a document window.
a document contains sheets.
a sheet contains tables, text, media
a table contains cells
a cell contains text, dates, durations, numbers
I cannot tell whether the screenshots you provided are from the same document (file) or not. If they are from different documents then you cannot make references between them. If they are in the same document then you can refer to on sheet from another by using the following...
To refer to a cell in a different sheet and/or table use the format:
<SHEET NAME>::<TABLE NAME>::<CELL RANGE>
for example:
If you have two sheets, each with two tables:
Sheet 1:
- Table 1
- Table 2
Sheet 2:
- Table 1
- Table 2
then you can put a formula in Sheet 1 Table 1 cell A1 like this to get the value from Sheet 2 Table 2 cell A1
Sheet 1 Table 1:
A1=Sheet 2::Table 1::A1
I will try to provide a specific formula for you with the following assumption... THE TWO TABLES ARE IN THE SAME DOCUMENT:
For the table show in the top picture (sheet name "Sales by Class Detail", not sure what the table name is and not sure what cell this is. In the image you posted it is the cell with the triangle in it in column J):
=vlookup(G, Product Service List::<Table Name>::B:E, 3,0)
you will need to fill in the <Table Name>
you can fill this formula down by selecting the cell you just entered the formula in, then hover the cursor over the bottom edge and drag the yelllow fill handle down as needed

Question in regards to multiple addresses and phone numbers in one contact...

Hello iPhone users!
I have a quick question in regards to contacts. If I have a name of a restaurant that has two separate phone numbers and two separate locations, do I need to create a separate contact for each location and each phone number? For exmaple, let's say the Restaurant name is Luigi's and there is one location in Boston and one in New York. I wish to enter both of the addresses and both of phone numbers.
Ideally, how would I combine both of these? I think to further qualify is if I'm able to combine both entries into one contact, how can I differentiate the phone numbers? I realize there are labels that I can customize (i.e. name one label Boston and the other New York) but it seems if I do that, then those custom labels appear to carry over for any other new contact I create which is not ideal.
Am I on the right track or am I over thinking this? Does anyone have any suggestions?
Many thanks!

Thanks for your reply! I'm just trying to figure out the best way. Basically I was hoping to create one contact entity with the restaurant name and withing that contact the following:
1. Addresses for both locations
2. Phone numbers for both locations
3. A label to distinguish which number belongs to what location
So at the moment, I have one contact and the label for one phone number is "main" which is not ideal because it doesn't distinguish what location the number is calling. Let's say I create a custom label called "Boston". It works fine and I can assign that label to that number. The drawback is that now the custom label "Boston" now appears globally in my custom label list. I guess this is fine with one or two labels but then I can see how this might get out of control with more labels being added. I was hoping a custom label would apply only to that one contact and not be globally available to all other new contacts.
If I do create a custom label and delete it from my list, it then goes away for the contact that I assigned the label to.
So given that information, I guess if I don't want the custom label list to get out of control, it's probably best to create a separate contact for each location... i.e.
1. Luigi's - Boston
2. Luigi's - New York
I was just hoping to have everything consolidated into one contact as opposed to creating multiple ones. It seems like that can't be accomplished unless I have a huge list of custom labels in which I probably won't use them to apply to other contacts : )

How to add up items from multiple sheets and popup lists

Based on the "Personal Budget" template
I want to use the Personal Budget template and modify it to my needs — I want a total and 12 sheets (for each month). The template example has a total page and 1 data sheet by default.
What would the formula be to get data for a category, across all of the 12 sheets?
For example:
A8 is "Travel"
SUMIF Jan::Transactions::Category,A8,Jan::Transactions::$Amount)
This gives me the amount of all "travel" expenses for the sheet "Jan" but how would I have the combined total for Jan, Feb, Mar, Apr, May, Jun, Jul, Aug, Sep, Oct, Nov, Dec?
What would the formula look like?
Sorry, not very well versed in spreadsheets.
Thanks!
— James

Instead of splitting the data into twelve pieces that you then have to struggle to consolidate, how about entering it all in the existing data table on the Transactions and then adding the summary table on Budget sheet that pulls the data by month?
Note the use of SUMIF in the SUMMARY BY CATEGORY table. You would use the same idea to "filter" by month as well. Because you more than one condition now (ie. you want to filter by month and category), you use SUMIFS instead of SUMIF.
The easiest way may be to insert a Month column in column E of the data table with the formula =MONTH(A) . This will give the month number.
Then create at new summary table that looks like this:
The formula in B2, copied right and down:
=SUMIFS(Transactions::$D,Transactions::$C,$A2,Transactions::$E,B$1)
(For demo purposes I copied the existing entries in the template's data table and pasted them below themselves, giving two months of data. In the new rows I changed the month from 11 to 12. So that's why you see values here only for months 11 and 12, and exactly the same.)

Compare the values of multiple columns and take the column header

Hi all,
I have a table as follows:
acct-d1-d2-d3-d4-d5
101-1/2/2009- - - 3/2/2009-12/12/2009
102- - 10/10/2009- -12/25/2009-
acct is a number where as d,d2,d3,d4,d5 are date columns.
I need to write a query where i need to pick the maximum date for an acct.
for acct - 101 12/12/2009 should be picked up and for acct 102 12/25/2009.
output should be :
acct-dt
101-12/12/2009
102-12/25/2009

Multiple choices and table fields

I am designing a form application now and I am stuck in some problems. One of them is related to multiple choices:
The application looks like question-answer style. E.x:
Funded goods before:
a. Bed b. Chair c. Computer d. Clothing e. Book
How do I save those answers? I mean do I need to create 5 fields in the table for saving the each above anwsers like:
create table Goods (Bed varchar(1), Chair varchar(1), Computer varchar(1)...)
If a, c, e are chosed, goods.bed = 'Y', goods.computer = 'Y', goods.Book= 'Y'.
Please give me help. Many thanks and waiting.

No, you don't need to store them in a table. You will put 5 checkboxes next to each of the five choices and you will check the value of the combo if it is either 1 or 0. You will set the ValueWhenChecked property of the item to 1 and the ValueWhenUnchecked property of the item to 0 . So if the value of the checkbox is 0 then it is unchecked and when it is 1 it is selected.
So in your example you can write :
if ( :bed='1' and :computer = '1' and :book = '1' ) then
I hope i helped you.

What is the difference between sheets and tables?

Seriously. I've used Numbers for many projects, but the difference just isn't apparant to me?

Hi Michael,
Sounds like it's time to crack open the manual and spend a little quality time with Chapter 1.
Apple provides a couple of excellent tools for understanding and using Numbers, the Numbers '09 User Guide and the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide. Both are fully searchable PDF documents, and both are available for download via the Help menu in Numbers.
I'd recommend reading at least the first three chapters of the Numbers Guide (about 60 pages in all), then dipping into the rest as you need it.
The F&F guide is a useful reference whn you're writing formulas, or when you're trying to figure out what's going on in the formulas in a template produced by someone else.
Regards,
Barry
PS: The information regarding Sheets, Tables, etc. may be found in the article The Numbers Window, starting on the second page of Chapter 1, Numbers Tools and Techniques.
