Numbers search problem

I have Numbers 08, OX, the search works some of the time but will suddenly quit. The other day I was searching books by a certain author, to compare to a list of her books, trying to figure out which ones I had not read. (yes, I keep a log of the books I have read). For instance, I had searched & found a book, then searched for another, no find. Yet, when I looked at the one before, I see the one I searched for a few lines below. I tried other searches that should have landed on books but nothing happened. I quit Numbers & then checked it again, nada. It is working today...did it just need a reboot of Mac? I really can't imagine software that requires that. Oh yes, there were about 30 books that I searched.
Thanks for your help in solving my problem in Numbers.

Outlook 2010, Exchange 2010 - Searching Problems

Anyone out there able to help with some searching problems some of our users have been seeing?
Searching in OWA works fine but some people have problems when searching for older emails in Outlook. We've rebuilt Outlook profiles, rebuilt the windows index's (which seems to work but only temporarily). If there's a way to schedule the Windows index to
rebuild every night or once week, I'd be very happy to test that out but haven't been able to figure out how to do that.
Anyone have any other ideas?

Hi,
It seems something keeps corrupting the index... Run Anti-virus program and Malicious Software Removal Tool to scan your system, check if there's any virus or malware that may cause the index issue.
If this issue persists, please also go to File tab ->
Options -> Search -> Indexing Options
-> Advanced -> Click Troubleshoot search and indexing, to do some troubleshooting steps to find the possible cause.
I hope this helps.

Numbers sorting problem

I know that this problem may have been asked before but I searched and could not find a similar situation.
I have a spreadsheet that will not sort the contents of a cell correctly. As an example, the table has two columns, the first is formatted as a date, the second as text data. I enter dates in random order and just put a, b, c, d etc in order in the second column. Selecting one cell in the second column, I add background color and a black line border.
When I sort using the date column, the color background moves with the letter but the black border stays at the original cell address.
Is this a bug, or have I missed a setting somewhere?

Yes, it does do that. Without documentation saying what it is supposed to do, it isn't proper to call it a bug. Maybe that was an intended result. Seems kind of strange to move the fill color but not the borders but I can think of examples where you might want it that way, or the opposite way, or for both to move or neither to move.
Edit: I note that Excel 2008 does the same thing. Therefore it makes it very difficult to call it a bug. I do not know if Excel has any settings to change that behavior. To my knowledge, Numbers does not.

E71 Contact search problem

My contact search function on E71 is ok, just that I can't call out 2 entries in contacts.
1) 1Jen
2) BJ
As these 2 names's second character is "J" it is also "#" and the first character are also with numbers. That is why the home screen showed
1) 1#
2) 8#
And it gave me the phone numbers which was the 1st and 8th stored on my SIM card contact.
I used to be able to call them without such problem. Only experience this today.
Does anyone know how to turn off SIM contact reading?
Rgds,
DB

Firstly, open up each contact in turn and select Options>Play voice tag - this will tell you how the phone interprets the name. As you are using abbreviations, the voice recognition system may be interpreting the text strangely.
It is also possible that the problemis caused by the shortness of the name. Often, it is better to have a full name (eg: Marcus de Bruyn) instead of a shorter form (eg: Marc) because when you say a name with more syllables you give the recognition system more data to work with in comparing with your contacts.

List View Web Part Search problem

We have a problem with the search in the
List View Web Part (SearchBox).
If you enter anything in SearchBox
and the beginning of the search, nothing happens.
This problem only occurs in non-admins.
In this case, the browser generates an error:
"inplview" not defined.

I have the same problem. I think the problem is related to the Publish feature.
Any ideas?

Google search problem in safari

I went to do a google search and used the window in Safari. When I hit go, I get results but they look strange. Only the search term and then most of it is blank. It's as if the page is so big that I can't see the rest. When I go to the bottom of the page it says Mobile, but nothing else. When I tap beside it, it went to a "classic" view as if on the desktop of your computer, but then I could not see what I was typing in the search box. It was invisible. No problem with Bing or Yahoo.
I also have noticed on a page that I normally check that the login button was not there. I could click where the login button usually is and then it will take me to the page, but what I type is also invisible.
I have an iPhone 4s 5.1.1. No problems on my husbands iPhone 4s.
Will try to restore.
Has this happened to anyone?

Restore has fixed it.

How to fix the search problem due to timezone?

I live in GMT+8 timzone. I just migrated a site from SP2010 to SP2013. After migrated when I search for a managed property (datetime) all results return is 1 day later.
To troubleshoot the problem, I setup a new managed property using "Text" datatype. In refinement panel for that managed property I found the refinement are all looks like 2013/12/11 16:00:00. (which should be 2013/12/12 00:00:00)
The old server is running in GMT+8. The only different is SP2010 and SP2013.I have changed the web application -> general settings -> timezone to GMT+8 and the site collection settings as well. We did not enable "My site" so there
is no personal regional settings. What else I can check? What should I check and how can I make the search work as expected?

Once a document is stored and uploaded it has the UTC time stamp on it. Now this timestamp cannot be changed.
So you either use timezone when the document was uploaded or use it the same way.
BTW what difference does it make with the time it shows?
The field in question is designed to store a "Date" value only not the "Time". The time is always 00:00:00.
In the old farm, users search for 2013/12/31 will get the results with field value 2013/12/31. Now in the new farm, with the timezone problem, search for 2013/12/31 will get the results with field value 2014/1/1

But I just can't get my code to work. It returns nothing back.
The problem should be simple. But I can not figure out why.

RoboHelp HTML 8 Search problem

I have a single (non-merged) RoboHelp 8 HTML project in which I cannot seem to get Search working correctly.
I expected to see a box into which I can type a search term and a blank pane below the Contents/Index/Search/Glossary bar where search results would appear. Instead, I get the following when I generate WebHelp:
This problem appears in IE 6, IE 7, Firefox 3.0, and Firefox 3.5, all of which our customer base uses. I'm using RoboHelp 8 on a Windows PC with XP Pro 2002, SP3.
In the Project Settings/General dialog, I have the default settings for the Stop List and the Always Ignore List selected. For "Add new keywords to" I have "Index File (HHK)" selected, and "Binary Index" is selected.
When generating WebHelp, I have the following set:
General selections: Under "Additional Options," "Apply to all Topics," "CSS" is selected, with the correct CSS name displayed. "Add Mark of the Web" is selected.
Navigation selections: For Toolbar Buttons, Contents, Index, Search, Glossary are selected. For Search Options, "Enable Highlight Search Results" is selected.
Navigation Pane Preferred Format selection is Pure HTML. (We tried DHTML/HTML but that resulted in an empty nav pane and a nonfunctional index.)
Optimize Speed For: Web Site (Internet)
Publish: Republish All.
What are we doing wrong? I'm totally stumped and I can't seem to find any help on this issue anywhere. Thanks!

Hi there
Please do expound.

I finally succeeded in getting a Search pane that looked right and performed correctly by deselecting the Mark of the Web option.
To my knowledge this option only affects the output when you view things locally, as in when you are testing the output immediately after generating. Are you saying here that it somehow affected things after you uploaded the files to the server?

Numbers Update problem

How do I get Numbers 2.3 to update to the new Version 3 when the App Store keeps telling me incorrectly that Version 3 is already installed?

Robert,
Run Software Update to get Version 3.0, don't try to download it directly from the Mac App Store. There is also the chance that you actually do have version 3.0 already and don't know it, but this is unlikely since Apple has built-in devices to make it your default version.
Use Spotlight to search for Numbers. On my system, Numbers 3.0 is identified as Numbers - Applications, and Numbers 2.3 is identified as Numbers - iWork.

Numbers formula problem

I have the following numbers, 20 in total. Numbers are from 0-9.
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20
3 7 8 1 2 6 6 7 3 1   0   7   0   1   2    2   1   6   8   2
i have another row where I want to put all the numbers that exist in the row 2. numbers that do not appear in that row should not appear in my other row.
But i just want to display the numbers once. The result would be like this:
0 1 2 3 6 7 8
Each number in a different cell.
4,5 and 9 do not appear.
I Hope you could understand my problem. I could post a screenshot, but this forum is buggy.
many thanks,

Splitting a series of data into more than one column or row complicates life. But if it is important to do that (perhaps for ease of data entry) then here is one way to accomplish what I understand you are looking for:
This is the sample data table (I reduced the number of columns for demonstration purposes):
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
DATA 1
16
15
17
16
19
17
16
16
16
18
15
14
14
14
15
16
17
18
19
20
21
22
23
24
25
26
27
28
29
30
DATA 2
11
9
12
10
12
14
13
11
12
14
15
13
14
15
18
Then you can create a "Helper Table" that looks like this (in practice it will have many more rows):
Value
Distinct
Ranked
DATA 1
DATA 1
9
16
16
10
15
15
11
17
17
12
16
13
19
19
14
17
15
The formula in A2 of the Helper Table, copied down as far as you can go until you get a red triangle range error is, is:
   =INDEX(UNION.RANGES(FALSE,Data::$A$1,Data::$2,Data::$4),1,ROW())
          (The $2 and $4 appear in this pasted formula means to anchor to those rows. You get that by clicking the row number to select the row)
The formula in B2, copied down, is:
   =IFERROR(IF(COUNTIF(A$1:A2,A2)=1,A2,""),"")
The formula in C2, copied down, is:
    =IFERROR(SMALL(B,ROW()−1),"")
    (The B here is the column B address token which you get by clicking the column letter to select the column.)
Your summary table would look something like this:
Durchmesser
9
10
11
12
13
14
15
16
17
18
19
The formula in B2, copied right until you get a blank, is:
   =IFERROR(INDEX(Helper Table::$C,COLUMN()),"")

Numbers filtering problem

Hi guys,
I have a problem with numbers' filtering function here.
1. I have a table of about 150 rows and 6 columns.
2. The data consists about 42 categories and I wish to sort out each item.
3. when I chose the column and try to filter the table, I found there list only about 22 items on the pop-up list.
where are those missing items ?
Could someone help me with this?
Mike

2. The data consists about 42 categories and I wish to sort out each item.
3. when I chose the column and try to filter the table, I found there list only about 22 items on the pop-up list.
Though the pop-up (or drop-down or whatever it's called) list maxes out at only 22 or so items, you can work with larger numbers in the Sort & Filter panel at the right.

HT1338 OS X Numbers Update Problem...

OS X Version 10.9.1 on 27" late 2009 iMac.
App store Updates, shows 'Numbers' updated to v3.0.1 , but version 2.3 was not removed.
What would be the problem, and how do I remove version 2.3 'Numbers' ...?

Yes, it's possible it could be the RAM. To test that theory out, pull 1 stick out. This will leave you with 2GB RAM. Try to install Lion as you were. If you still get the panic, then swap RAM sticks. Try again. If you are still getting panics, then it is likely something else, unless both of your RAM sticks are bad, which is unlikely but possible i suppose.

Pages numbers paiste problem

Unlike prior versions of Pages and Numbers when paisting Numbers cells into 5.01 Pages the cells loose formating requiring manual expansion. Cells only paist into 1 page then disapear disregarding page breaks. This problem has rendered both applications unusable for my contract preperation.

Apple has removed over 90 features from Pages 5, and similarly many from Numbers 4.

Pages/Numbers '09 should still be in your Applications/iWork folder.
Archive/trash Pages 5/Numbers 4, after Exporting your files to older versions or Word or Excel, and rate/review them in the App Store, then get back to work.
