Rearange Categories in Numbers '09

Hello,
I have a table with several categories. When I click at the triangle of the column with the category, I only can sort them alphabetically. Is it possible to rearange in any order I like ?
Thanks in adavance,
Max

This is how I do it. Select the row first, then mouse-down and drag it. For example:
Assume row 3 is a category row (a row with a triangle and category name):
1. Show the row numbers and column letters by selecting any cell in the table.
2. Select row 3 by clicking on the square with the 3 (directly on the left of the 3rd row in the table).
3. Now with row 3 selected, mouse-down on that square with the 3 and drag
The category row can be dragged and dropped above/below any other category. The rows that belong in that dragged category row will follow it.

How can i create categories in numbers 3.0

After updating numbers to 3.0, I can't find a way to create categories in the table

Hi rhimac,
Glad it helped. It's a bit ugly to set up that extra column but it really isn't that much trouble. It can do the job until Apple (we hope) brings back multi-column sort.
One further thought, that I've posted elsewhere: =A&B or =A&C&B or whatever will work if the values are all text. If you need to sort columns that contain numbers you need to "pad" the numbers with leading zeros so they will sort as you want. That's easily done. Say B is a number. You can change the B in the formula to something like RIGHT("000000000000",B,12).
This turns the number into a string (text), puts zeros in front of the string, and grabs the last 12 characters in the string. So if your number was $1,250.95 it would become 000000000000$1250.95 then finally 000$1,250.95. The numbers in the other rows of the column would also start with zeros and thus sort properly. You would increase the number of zeros within the "" and increase the 12 as needed if your column happened to contain larger numbers.
And one last thought. If you're just sorting by two columns sometimes you don't have to resort to an extra column. Say you are sorting by A then by B. In the popup menu at the head of the column first sort by B. Then sort by A. It seems kind of backwards. But it will work in some situations. When you're dealing with three columns or more, though, the extra column is probably the way to go.

No more categories in numbers 3.0?

I have a worksheet full of categories. Now I have a bunch o useless tables.

HA! I just ran into a similar problem and reverting works.
Open the file. Go to the File menu, in that menu, highlight "Revert to" and click on "Browse All Versions...".
Should have at least 2 versions on the right side. Click on the oldest one and Restore.
Once it is restored, close the file without saving. I just click on the red dot in the upper left corner.
Now, you can open the file again with the old Numbers. The old Numbers should still be on your system in the Applications folder in a folder called iWork '09. I noticed that the new Numbers is in Applications folder too, but not in a folder.

Collapse all Categories in Numbers '09

I have been using Numbers on large sets of data recently, and one feature that I find particularly useful is to define a category based on any column. However, once a category has been created, there is an option to "Expand all Categories" but no option to "Collapse all Categories".
Is there a workaround to this?

I option click on one of the disclosure triangles. If that particular category started out expanded, it collapses them all. If it was collapsed it expands them all.

Changing Categories in Numbers Spreedsheet

I'm am trying to use the 'personal spreadsheet' in Numbers but want to change the list of categories to my own categories. I can change the name of each category in 'budget' but the change does not show in the drop down list of categories in the 'Transactions' section. Please help anyone? Regards Colin

you have to modify the categories in the pop-ups to match.
select the cells with the pop-ups, then change the contents of the pop-up menu in the cell formatter:
use the "+" and "-" to add an remove entries, and/or double click existing entries to modify

Problem with Categories in Numbers

Hello everybody.
I`ve got a problem which I guess is not answered yet.
I try to explain it with pictures you can find on my google+ site here (no registration necessary.) : https://plus.google.com/105570680872963266365/posts/AMXAATUCtJT?defplm&hl=de&utm _source=lmnavbr&utm_medium=embd&utm_camp…
I took a "preset" and want to write hours of working in the chart. I want to change the cagetories, which is in the presets "biking" and other sports. I want them to be things like "office work" or "Preperations"...
But i just can not change them, is there a solution?

Using javascript to populate one menu based on the choice in another menu

I have several menus which are dynamically populated (with PHP and MYSQL). The information is category based. How do I dynamically populate the second menu based on the choice the user makes in the first menu (without having to submit and refresh the page-- i.e. I need to use javascript instead of the server-side PHP).
Example:
Main Categories: 1) Numbers     2) Letters
Sub Categories:        1                      a
                               2                      b
                               3                      c
                              etc.                  etc.
the first menu contains the two main categories. I want the second list to be populated with only the sub categories of the main category the user chooses in the first menu (i.e. 1,2,3 etc. if he chose the main category 'Numbers' and a,b,c, etc. if he chose the main category 'Letters')
Is there an easy way to do this in Dreamweaver?
Thanks,
YWSW

How many items do you have in each dropdown? If it's a small number, you can download all of the options for the second dropdown and use client side javascript to filter based on the choice of the first dropdown. If the number is large, you'll need to use AJAX to dynamically pull the related items from the database.
Search the web for "dependent dropdown" or "cascading dropdown" for some technical details.

Not sure about international txting

Hello,
I have a friend in Australia I talk to a lot and I shied away from texting internationally as not to get charged. Now I knew I had unlimited texting, but wasn't sure about out of country and we texted each other a few times so I went to "Current Usage" to see if it did any damage. I scroll down to "Messaging" area and it says the following:
Nationwide TLK&TXT Share 700 (mom and I on same account)
Under that is a green bar and above it to the far right says, "0/Unlimited"
Under that it lists the "Usage Type" and under 'Text', it lists large numbers I knew were already safe, but going further across, it lists 'International Plan' and 'International Pix-Flix'. Both those last 2 categories have numbers, 4 sent, 11 received, 5 received flix.
Now my question is: Since it still reads 0/Unlimited above the green bar, does that mean it's safe to text and pix-flix internationally? Could have sworn a woman at Verizon told me they didn't have an international plan or something or other.

Grothka is close.
The price for sending International Text Messages will remain the same at $0.25 per message. The price for receiving International Text Messages will increase to $0.20 per message.

CRM ISA 5.0 - Add data to the WebCatArea

Hello experts
I have to associate an integer value to the WebCatAreas. This value is 1 for the first head webcatarea of catalog and all its childrens, 2 for the next ...
I can generate this value in CategoriesB2C.inc.jsp in the menu displaying loop.
I have to get this value in all the products jsp pages (list of products of an area, product sheet page ...)
But how to add data to the webcatarea bean ? should I use the addExtensionData (I don't have to store this data in the backend ...) ? should I use the userSessionData to store a table which do the mapping between areaID and my custom value ?
Thank you for your help.

Hello Sateesh Chandra,
The need is simple : I have to integrate XiTi marking. In XiTi there is "level 2 sites" that have been defined in hard into XiTi interface, corresponding to my "head" categories, with numbers associated (category1 = 4, category2 = 5 ...).
In all the pages of my site that "are into" a category, I have to put a javascript code, containing a variable that I have to set to the level 2 site number. For example if I'm in page Category1 / Family1 / Product1, the javascript variable will have to be 4. Idem for the page Family1 which contains the list of the family1 products ...
The level 2 sites in XiTi have been created in the same order than my menu, so I though I could use the position of the head category in the menu to determine the level 2 site number (in case of a change in the CRM catalog, we will have to change the configuration of level 2 sites numbers in XiTi interface but it happen's very rarely).
I will try with the getPosition method and I'll come back to see if you advise me a better solution.
Thank you very much one more time !
Regards
JL.

I modified the budget categories on the numbers template so now the transaction tab does not communicate with the budget tab. I figured out how to change the drop down options but how do I get it to reflect on my budget sheet? Please help.

If you are familar with the Numbers Budget Template it has two tabs 'Budget' and 'Transactions'. If you use the template as it is designed when you input expenses on the transaction tab it will automatically add that amount into the selected category on the budget tab. I have madified my budget tab to reflect the caegories that I need, which included adding several to the template. I also added to the table so it reflects my income and expenses so I can track where I am at with a glance. Since I did this, I can't get my transactions tab to communicate with the budget tab. I figured out how to change the options in the drop down box for category but I con't figure out how to get it to reflect onto my budget tab. I'm sure that it is an easy fix, however, I am just not well versed in Numbers. I appreciate your time in helping me with this issue.
Respectfully,
Jon

My guess is that while you added catetories to your Budget Sheet by adding new lines and filling in the category column, you didn't also add the formulas to these new budget lines.
The proper way to add those lines would have been to select a cell in the line just above where you want to add a line and type Option/Alt-DownArrow. This would have copied the formulas into the new line. Maybe you did this, and maybe not. You didn't give details on how you added the lines.
Select C2 and D2 and Command-C to copy them to the Clipboard.
Select all the cells of Columns C and D except for the top and bottom rows and Command-V to Paste.
If I have properly guessed the problem, you should be in business. This assumes that your Categories are exaclty the same as the entries in your Pop-up menus. Spelling counts, as does case.

How to create pivot or categories in latest numbers

How to create pivot or categories in latest Numbers?

No "Categories" feature in Numbers 3, or other equivalent to Excel's pivot tables. However you can use SUMIFS and COUNTIFS to generate a "pivot" or "crosstab" like this:
This is a little more work to set up. But it has an advantage: you can base charts and other analysis on the summary table.

Using Numbers Personal Budget template I can't figure out how to change the categories in both tabs (budget and transactions)

Brand new just bought Numbers and I used the personal budget template to enter our monthly budget. I customized the spread sheet with our budget categories, but then when I go to the transactions tab to add our transactions, it only has the generic categories. How do I change them so that my transactions end up on the table?

Hi artlisavz,
There are 2 places to make changes.
I assume this is where you have already changed things:
The Budget tab- Summary by Category- just click the name and change it. Or else you dragged the "=" at the lower left to add rows. Added your categories.
You need to edit the popup in the Transactions tab- Category popup.
Popup menu is a data format. You find it on the right side bar Format>Cell>Data Format> Popup Menu. Change, delete, go wild. If you edit the first one you can copy it, select the rest of the column and paste. If you find you want an additional in a month or so you can enter it as text (after deleting the popup), then select it and the popup above and choose the popup format instead of multiple and you will have added it to that popup. You will need to fill it to the rest of the column.
If you added additional categories, you want to update the pie chart.
Click the pie chart, click "Edit Data References", drag the section to include your added categories.

How do you change categories in both transactions and budget report in the personal budget template in Numbers?
I am working on both an iPad mini and a MacBook Air.
Whenever I change the category name in the budget report, it does not actually show up in the transactions tab when I am using the Personal Budget Template.
I have already tried copying and pasting a category in the budget report to add another row but it still does not show up in the transactions tab.
