Pop-up menu in one column determines the value in another. How?

I'm setting up a company report, and one column has a pop-up menu. I want the cell in another column to automatically enter a certain value depending on which option is selected in that pop-up menu. How is that done?

m,
You can use any of the functions that look for a match in one column and pull data from another. As a class, they're called Lookup functions. I wouldn't plan on having your design survive an export to Excel, so you should consider who will be using your work and what platform they will have available.

Is it possible to reference one cell from the value of another?

Is it possible to reference one cell from the value of another e.g.
value of b1 = value of c(value of a1)
So if a1 = 3 then b1 = c3, if a1 = 5 then b1 = c5.

Excellent!
Thanks Wayne. Just saved me many hours and a headache.
Works like a dream.
Thank you for your succinct (and accurate) answer.

Return max value from one column from similar values in another

Hi folks. I've got a heap of temperature data to analyse and am looking for an easy way to extract a maximum internal temperature from a group of readings with the same external temperature. E.g. When the external temperature is 25.0 there are say 20 different internal temperature values that correspond with the different dates and times that this external temperature occurs. I'm looking for a formula I can use in a separate table with the external temperatures in a header column that will refer to the header column and extract the data from the original table. Any help appreciated! E.g. below...
Internal (°C)
Loc 4-Ambient
Index
Date
TimeValue
Time
External (°C)

Hi Barry,
thanks for the response. Sorry, my example was not exactly clear. I'll take out the superfluous data and try and clarify my problem further. Based on the table below, I have sorted the data based on ascending external temperature (At these low external temperatures there are not so many data points, but when we get into the late 20s and 30s there can be hundreds of corresponding points). What I want to create is a separate table that I can graph, with the X axis showing the external temperature and the Y axis showing the maximum internal temperature that corresponds with each 0.1 degree increment of the external temperature.
external
internal

So my second table would just be two columns (I had 3 in the first example because I am doing a before and after painting the roof white comparison but I'm simplifying now) with my external temperature scale in column A in 0.1 degree increments. I am looking for a formula for column B that will give me the maximum internal temperature from my range of temperatures in the first table.
18.0
18.1
18.2
18.3
18.4
18.5
18.6
18.7
etcetera. The max for 18.1, for example, would turn out 28 based on the 4 corresponding data points in the first table.
Ideally I would like a formula using the MAX equation because I'm hoping that I can do a similar table for getting the average internal temperature for each of the external temperature increments too, but I didn't want to overcomplicate matters.

To set a dropdown list for one column in the excel file before downloading

I want to write a script or Automator workflow/app that emails a random shortcut of the day to three recipients. The source is from an Excel spreadsheet. One column is the shortcut, and the second column is the definition. Anyone have experience?

I want to write a script or Automator workflow/app that automatically emails a random shortcut of the day to three recipients. The source is from an Excel spreadsheet. One column is the shortcut, and the second column is the definition. Anyone have similar experience and know that this would work?

I have had a first stab at the script, below. It uses a file to store the shortcuts and command [descriptions]. You should be able to see from the script annotations how to add a new one. (I populated 1-4 with real data, but got lazy after that, so you have a few placeholders to work with first.
As I have noted, once you are happy that you have all the data in the file, you can comment out part of the script for ongoing use. (BTW, my reluctance to use Excel is that I don't currently have it installed and I don't want to offer wrong advice. If you have Numbers, I do have that and could probably modify to work with a spreadsheet from there. This might be especially useful if you have the data already sitting in Excel.)
A few things came-up whilist I was writing the script:
1.     Currently, all recipients will not only get the same tip at the same time, but they will see the names and email addresses of the others who receive them. It is possible to modify this.
2.     I have added a property gRandomCheck which keeps track of which shortcut has already been used (since the last time the script was compiled. This will prevent the same tip being sent more than once.    When all tips have been sent once, the script will alert you and not send anything until reset. It does not check on a per-addressee basis (which would be a refinement). (If you add a new addressee at this stage, the whole process will start again, and you may not really want this to be the behaviour.)
3.     The way that I have built the list, commandList, is deliberately cumbersome - it's for the sake of clarity. If you prefer, you can construct the whole list as {{shortcut:"X", command:"X"}, {shortcut:"Y", command:"Y"}}
Have a look - I am sure you will have questions!
SCRIPT STARTS HERE Paste the following lines (thru the end) into a new AppleScript Editor document and press RUN
--The property gRandomCheck persists between runs and is used to stop sending the same hint twice.
property gRandomCheck : {}
--I am defining a file on the desktop. It doesn't have to be in this location
set theFolder to path to desktop
set commandFile to (theFolder as text) & "CommandFile.csv"
--(* Unless you need to change the file contents you do not need to write to it each time. Remove the "--" on this line and before the asterisk about 18 lines below
--Follow this format and enter as many records as you like on a new line - each with a unique name
set record1 to {shortcut:"Z", command:"Undo"}
set record2 to {shortcut:"R", command:"Record"}
set record3 to {shortcut:"⇧R", command:"Record Toggle"}
set record4 to {shortcut:"⌘.", command:"Discard Recording & Return to Last Play Position"}
set record5 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record6 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record7 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record8 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record9 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record10 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record11 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record12 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
set record13 to {shortcut:"X", command:"x"}
--Make sure you add the record name before randomCheck:
set commandList to {record1, record2, record3, record4, record5, record6, record7, record8, record9, record10, record11, record12, record13}
--This part writes the above records to the file each time.
set fileRef to open for access commandFile with write permission
set eof of fileRef to 0
write commandList to fileRef starting at eof as list
close access fileRef
--remove "--" here to stop writing (see above)*)
--This reads from the file
set fileRef to open for access commandFile with write permission
set commandList to read fileRef as list
close access fileRef
--Here's where the random record is chosen
set selected to 0
if (count of gRandomCheck) is not (count of commandList) then
          repeat
                    set selected to (random number from 1 to (count of commandList))
                    if selected is not in gRandomCheck then
                              set gRandomCheck to gRandomCheck & selected
                              exit repeat
                    end if
          end repeat
else
          display dialog "You have sent all shortcuts to all recipients once. Recompile to reset"
          return
end if
--This is setting-up the format of the mail contents
set messageText to ("Shortcut: " & shortcut of record selected of commandList & return & "Command: " & command of record selected of commandList)
tell application "Mail"
--When you're ready to use, you probably will not want Mail popping to the front, so add "--" before activate
activate
--You can change the subject of the message here. You can also set visible:true to visible:false when you are happy all is working OK
          set theMessage to (make new outgoing message with properties {visible:true, subject:"Today's Logic Pro Shortcut", content:messageText})
          tell theMessage
--You can add new recipients here. Just add a new line. Modify the names and addresses here to real ones
                    make new to recipient with properties {name:"Fred Smith", address:"[email protected]"}
                    make new to recipient with properties {name:"John Smith", address:"[email protected]"}
--When you are ready to start sending, remove the dashes before "send" below
--send

Update one column while getting the value in another column

Is it possible to in one single SQL statement update two columns in a table while at the same time obtaining the value of another column, on the same row, in the same table, and independently (that is, the update of the columns has nothing to do with the data that I want from another column)*?* Of course, I can do this in two operations, one being a "select" and the other one being an "update", but since I am in the same table and even on the same row, is it really necessary to make TWO database calls? That's why I want to combine the the two SQL-statements, for reasons of presumed effiency.

At least not in terms of SQL.
JDBC requires a 'statement' but in SQL (depending on the data source) that can include multiple statements. An obvious example of this is a stored proc but there are other ways as well.

Why are some websites squished to one column on the left?

All of a sudden some websites are all squished in one column on the left side of the iPad and are unreadable or unusable. This hasn't always been the case. I'm using safari. I've rebooted the iPad, I have the latest os system. Two examples are:
Www.unifiedpatriots.com
Www.vassarbushmills.com
I have my own website and it's been fine.
Www.conservative-outlooks.com
And the larger websites are fine as well. I'm really stymied.

Bad web design, or a proplem with the linked CSS files, would be my guess. Report it to the webmasters for those sites.
At least on one of them, you can pinch out to properly see the site.

Formula to populate one Person or Group column depending on the value of another Person Group column

is also a Person or Group Information type. When an Invidividuals name is entered into the Name column, I what the User Account column to prepolulate.

Hi,
For your issue, you can automatically populate User Information depending on the value of another Person or Group column by connectting with User Information List or connectting with User Profile Web Service:

I'm downloading a movie to each of my kids new ipads. it says that it's downloading, but the completion % has shown the same % since it began 2 hours ago. is this normal? one shows 94%, the other 24%. how do I know if it's progressing?

You are on Windows 2000, you do not have a "Firefox" button, and should consider yourself to be fortunate in that you still have menus and don't have to do anything to get the menus back instead of the "Firefox" button. (The same applies to Windows XP users).
Use the "File" menu to get to Import. You are not on Windows 7 or Vista, and don't have to put up with the nonsense added for Aero.
If you want the "Firefox" button you can get it with View -> toolbars -> (uncheck) Menu Bar. The menu bar and the "Firefox" button were supposed to be mutually exclusive (which is impossible in some cases without being incompatible).
Once you are using the "Firefox" button ...
Use the "Alt" key to view the menu bar (temporarily) containing File, Edit, View, History, Bookmarks, Tools, and Help. On Windows 7 and Vista, the menu bar was hidden by default in Firefox 4 and above. These menu items are more or less available under the "Firefox" button which has the most used of the built-in Firefox menu items available in a different format.
To get back to having menus again. "Firefox" button -> Options (second column) -> (check) Menu Bar
You can make '''Firefox 7.0.1''' look like Firefox 3.6.*, see numbered '''items 1-10''' in the following topic [http://dmcritchie.mvps.org/firefox/firefox-problems.htm#fx4interface Fix Firefox 4.0 toolbar user interface, problems (Make Firefox 4.0 thru 8.0, look like 3.6)]. ''Whether or not you make changes, you should be aware of what has changed and what you have to do to use changed or missing features.''
