Preserving row and column addresses

How can I preserve row & column addresses on multiple cells in Numbers? This question has been asked before but I can't find the answer.

In general, you have to do each one separately. For 5 cell references, it would be no big deal to do them individually. But it feels like you have something more complicated in mind. If you clue us in about what you are doing and what you are trying to accomplish, maybe there is some trick that can be done. Screenshots are usually helpful.
I don't know if it is a time saver but one way to do multiple cells would be:
Starting with =SUM(B2
Change the B2 into $B$2 using the checkboxes
Copy the $B$2
Add a comma to the formula then paste to get =SUM($B$2,$B$2
Repeat until you have the correct number of cell references and finish up with a closing parenthesis
One by one, click on a cell reference then use your mouse on your table to drag that reference to another cell.
Another way might be
Starting with =SUM($B$2
Copy the $B$
Type a comma, Paste the $B$, type in the row number for the next cell reference
Repeat until you have all the cell references then end with a closing parenthesis.

How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?

How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers 3.2.2? I do a lot of rearranging and sorting and want to reference cells in other sheets. After entering the formulas (example: '=Sheet1::Table 1::H126') I will sort the table and the formulas will not move with the sort. I think I can fix this by going cell by cell checking the 'preserve row' and 'preserve column' boxes when editing the formula. I want to avoid having to go one by one. I know that checking the boxes creates a formula like this: '=Sheet1::Table 1::$H$126' I have also tried entering this manually and filling down but it doesn't include the preservations (the $$) in the autofill. If there is another way to remedy my sorting problem that would also be welcomed!
THANKS!!

The title of the post is this
How can I preserve row and column addresses on multiple cells at once in Numbers?
I restated the Question as follows
Can "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be set on multiple cells at the same time.
In both cases it is not asked if multiple cells can be set to....
That is a given.
Step back a second... It is like selecting multiple cells and setting the text color of the currently selected cells to red. This can be done. More than one cell at a time modified because they are currently selected.
Whats is being asked is: if more than one cell is selected at the same time can the settings "Preserve Row" an / or "Preserve Column" be applied. No table I put up will help with that question.
YES or NO
If YES how?

This technique would be quite slow. Unfortunately, it's the only way I could think of if it's really an Excel file. If it's tab delimited file, you could read a whole thing into 2D array and work on Array instead of reading cell-by-cell.

Make Select rows and columns as read only in Table Control

Hi All,
I would like to know how to make certain cells in a Table Control as display only.
Table control should look like-(Those in bold are read only or in display mode)
Name1 Idno1 Address1
Name2 Idno2 Address2
Name3 Idno3 Address3
Name4 Idno4 Address4
(Blank row to enter name idno and address)
(Blank row to enter name idno and address)
(Blank row to enter name idno and address)
My table control should display all the above fields the way it is above of which first two colums and 4 rows should be read only,and the rest of the empty rows in the TC should be in change mode.i.e it must have provision to add new rows but not change the first two columns of existing rows.
In short I am looking at solution to hide particular no of rows and columns and not the entire column.

In the PBO of the table control loop. just write these statements
NAME and IDNO considering the fields on the screen.
and WA_TAB is the table work area being passed to the table control to display the rows.
if not WA_TAB-NAME is initial and not WA_TAB-IDNO is initial.
loop at screen.
if screen-name = 'NAME' or
 screen-name = 'IDNO'.
screen-input = 0.
modify screen.
endif.
endloop.
endif.
which means that the fields are disabled only if NAME and IDNO are not initial.

Printing 1 Label in Row and Column Other Than Row 1, Column 1

I want to print 1 label and want to print it on Avery label stock in a row and column other than row 1, column 1. I'm using Avery Labels 8163. I can select the row and column I want to print on in Word but can't figure out how to do it in *Address Book*. Anyone know how to do this?

You can't do that in Addrress Book. But you can use pearLabelizer to do that. Be sure you download and install the appropriate Label Definition file and name it as such so you can select it from the pop-up list in the program's Preferences window.

Getting row and column of an array element

Hi,
I have an array of 24 rows and 24 column giving me a total of 576 elements. How do I get the row and column of a particular element in an array in LabView. E.g. If I have to write to element 127 how do I get the column and row in which element 127 is located.
Regards,
Harshil
Solved!

Hi Harshil,
maybe you only need to find the correct "address" of the element in your 2D array?
Use something like this:
Maybe you have to switch Row&Column output according to your numbering scheme...

Setting number of rows and columns

How do I set the number of rows and columns of a table, say 2348 rows by 3 columns?
Then how do I quickly select the last row?
Also, if I enter a formula in row 1 column 2, how do I quickly copy that formula down to row 1435, or to the end of the column? Dragging seems slow and awkward.

I wish to add a few words to Jerrold responce.

The process that you describe is inefficient.
The efficient one is :
create a table
enter the formulas in a single row
delete the rows below.
Now, each newly inserted row will contain the formulas.
From my point of view, it's when this is done that it will be interesting to apply a script adding rows.
Here is a script inserting rows.
--[SCRIPT insertRows]
Enregistrer le script en tant que Script : insertRows.scpt
déplacer le fichier ainsi créé dans le dossier
<VolumeDeDémarrage>:Users:<votreCompte>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Il vous faudra peut-être créer le dossier Numbers et peut-être même le dossier Applications.
Sélectionner une cellule au-dessous de laquelle vous voulez insérer des lignes.
menu Scripts > Numbers > insertRows
Le script vous demande le nombre de lignes désiré puit insère celles-ci.
--=====
L'aide du Finder explique:
L'Utilitaire AppleScript permet d'activer le Menu des scripts :
Ouvrez l'Utilitaire AppleScript situé dans le dossier Applications/AppleScript.
Cochez la case "Afficher le menu des scripts dans la barre de menus".
--=====
Save the script as a Script: insertRows.scpt
Move the newly created file into the folder:
<startup Volume>:Users:<yourAccount>:Library:Scripts:Applications:Numbers:
Maybe you would have to create the folder Numbers and even the folder Applications by yourself.
Select a cell below which you want to insert rows.
menu Scripts > Numbers > insertRows
The script ask you the number of rows to insert then it does the required insertion.
--=====
The Finder's Help explains:
To make the Script menu appear:
Open the AppleScript utility located in Applications/AppleScript.
Select the "Show Script Menu in menu bar" checkbox.
Save this script as a … Script in the "Folder Actions Scripts" folder

How can i open a PDF bank statement in numbers so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

how can i open a PDF bank statement in "numbers" so that the rows and columns contain properly aligned data from statement?

Numbers can store pdfs pages or clippings but does not directly open pdf files. To get the bank statement into Numbers as a table I would open the bank statment in Preview (or Skim) or some pdf viewer.
Then hold the option key while selecting a column of data.
Then copy
Then switch to numbers and paste the column into a table
Then repeat for the other columns in the pdf document
It would be easier (in my opinion) to download the QFX or CSV version from your bank

How do I delete multiple rows and columns in an image?

I am looking into how digital SLRs extract video data from a CMOS sensor. To give an example, the GH1 from Panasonic can record video at 1920 x 1080 from a 12 MPixel sensor that, say, is 4000 horizontal x 3000 vertical. How they do that seems to be not in the public domain, but there have been a few guesses (see http://www.dvxuser.com/V6/showthread.php?t=206797 and http://luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=38713).
One approach would be to simply read every second row of sensor pixels (1500 rows read from the original 3000) and once you have those in memory, delete every second column (2000 columns left). You would end up with a 2000 x 1500 image which could then be resampled to 1920 x 1080.
I'd like to simulate what the camera appears to be doing, by generating a 4000 x 3000 test image and then asking Photoshop CS4 to delete the appropriate rows and columns. It may not necessarily be every second row; the Canon 5DMk11 appears to read every third row, so I may need to delete two out of every three rows.
Can Photoshop do that sort of thing? If so, how?

Thanks for the suggestions. Yes, I did take a detailed look at your images, but they weren't 100% convincing because it wasn't clear just what was happening. And Adobe's explanation, after reading it again, explains nothing at all to someone who doesn't know how Nearest Neighbor works.
But you are correct -- Nearest Neighbor does effectively delete pixels. I proved it with the attached 6 x 6 image of coloured pixels (the tiny midget image right after this full stop -- you'll have to go to maximum zoom in PS to see it).
These are the steps to delete every second row and then every second column.
1. Select Image > Image Size.
2. Set Pixel Dimensions > Height to half the original (in this case set to 3 pixels).
3. Set Resample Image to Nearest Neighbor.
4. Click OK and the image shoould now consist of three vertical white strips and three vertical Green-Red-Blue stripes.
5. Repeat steps 1-4, but this time set Pixel Dimensions > Width to half the original (in this case set to 3 pixels). The image should now consist of three horizontal stripes Green-Red-Blue.
Just to make sure the method worked for every third pixel, I repeated the above steps but with 2 pixels instead of 3 and obtained the correct White-Green, White-Green pattern.
I resampled the Height and Width separately for the test so that I could see what was happening. In a real example, the height and width can be changed at the same time in the one step, achieving the same results as above.
Finally, how to explain how Nearest Neighbor works in the simple cases described above?
Division by 2
In the case of an exact division by two (pixels numbered from top leftmost pixel), only the even numbered rows and columns remain. To put it a different way, every odd numbered row and column are deleted.
Division by 3
Only rows and columns 2, 5, 8, 11... remain.
Division by N
Only rows and columns 2, 2+N, 2+2N, 2+3N... remain.
To put it simply, a resample using Nearest Neighbor (using an exact integer multiple) keeps every Nth row and column, starting from number two. The rest are deleted.

Lock rows and columns header in a table view report. It is possible?

hi,
I have a Dashboard that displays a report in "Table View" with many rows and columns.
Is it possible to set a lock on the rows and columns like Excel?
This would have blocked such headers that contain attributes and measures and to browse the report (eg with a scroll bar) had always viewed the headers.
Can you help me?
Thanks

Is it possible to switch the rows and columns?

Is it possible to switch the rows and columns of a table? The reason I ask is that it would be easier for me to input the data with the number at the top of a column and the fields going down. But it would be easier to read the data with the number on the left and the fields going to the right. Is it possible to switch a table in this way?

It sounds to me as though you wish to transpose a table so that the original is changed from rows to columns and from columns to rows, as in the following:
Table 1
 A B C
========
1 o p q
2 r s t
3 u v w
Table 2
 A B C
========
1 o r u
2 p s v
3 q t w
You are right - it would be nice to have a menu item to magically transpose a selected block of cells. But there isn't one. So...
One way to solve this is to use the index() and transpose() functions to accomplish row and column cell transposition. If you are going to use a 1:1 cell correspondence and change the header columns and rows also, you can use this:
 =INDEX(TRANSPOSE(Table # :: <range>),ROW(),COLUMN())
where Table # and <range> is substituted as in the following fashion:
 =INDEX(TRANSPOSE(Table 1 :: $A$1:$C$3),ROW(),COLUMN())
Create a second table. Copy the modified formula above with the appropriate substitutions, select the range you wish to have your transposition inserted into (must match the transposed cell dimensions of the original range), paste the forumula and voila! the cells will be transposed.
Cautions:
o The target table must match the swapped cell length and width dimension. For example, if the original data range is 6 columns wide by 4 rows deep, then the corresponding table or range to hold the transposition must be 4 columns wide by 6 rows deep.
o If your transposed data block is to be offset from the origin of the new table, then you will need to include a subtractive offset into your cell formula, since in the transpose() function the data in the master data range is referenced from its position with the master range, not its cell position in the table. Such an offset is necessary because this example formula uses the target row and column numbers to arrive at indexed positions.
For example, if the new data range is to be offset one column to the right and one row below from the target table's origin then you must subtract (-1) from the cell and from the column references in the formula:
 Example:
 =INDEX(TRANSPOSE(Table 3 :: $B$2:$D$4),ROW()-1,COLUMN()-1)
If someone has a better solution I'd be glad to hear of it.

How Calculate more than one value and store it into to different rows and column for each input?

thx guys.....i have a progress now in LV
But now i have new trouble here. Ok i attached my LV file (LV 7.0.1/7.1) and excel form. I just could'nt calculate more than one input value. I want a different result for each value that i enter ... and store it into different rows and column. But it just store at one row.

Keeping row and column headers while scrolling inside a Web Dynpro table

Hi,
I have to display a 2x2 matrix with storage location names on the x-axis (i.e. as Column Headers) and material names on the y-axis (i.e. row headers). The table data represents the quantities of a particular material in a particular storage location.
I am using dynamic UI generation to create this table. It can contain as many as 150 columns and almost as many rows. I dont want a page level scrollbar, and hence, have placed my table inside a scroll container UI element with a fixed height and width.
I need a way to let the users use the scrollbars inside the scroll container, but still let them see the row and column headers. Is there a way that I can do this in Dynpro for Java?
Thanks,
Navneet Nair.

Hi, how can i break the value for a row and column once i have converted the image to the array???????

Hi, I would like to know how can i break the value for a row and column once i have converted the image to the array. I wanted to make some modification on the element of the array at a certain position. how can i do that?
At the moment (as per attachhment), the value of the new row and column will be inserted by the user. But now, I want to do some coding that will automatically insert the new value of the row and the column ( I will use the formula node for the programming). But the question now, I don't know how to split the row and the column. Is it the value of i in the 'for loop'? I've tried to link the 'i' to the input of the 'replace subset array icon' , but i'm unable to do it as i got some error.
Please help me!
For your information, I'm using LABView 7.0.

Hi,
Thanks for your reply.Sorry for the confusion.
I manage to change the array element by changing the row and column value. But, what i want is to allow the program to change the array element at a specified row and column value, where the new value is generated automatically by the program.
Atatched is the diagram. I've detailed out the program . you may refer to the comments in the formula node. There are 2 arrays going into the loop. If a >3, then the program will switch to b, where if b =0, then the program will check on the value of the next element which is in the same row with b but in the next column. But if b =45, another set of checking will be done at a dufferent value of row and column.
I hope that I have made the problem clear. Sorry if it is still confusing.
Hope you can help me. Thank you!!!!
