Reference last active cell of a column?

I have a Numbers file with two tables, 'AXA' and 'Year To Date'.
The 'AXA' table has a column [c] that contains daily brokerage amounts.
In the 'Year To Date' table I am trying to reference the latest brokerage amount so that I can
analyze the latest data from the first of the year.
I looked around on the web to find a way to reference the last non-blank cell of a column.
I found and tried several suggested methods but I am unsuccessful so far.
I had great hope for the following formula but I keep getting a "The formula contains a syntax error"
=INDEX( FILTER( AXA::C3 : AXA::C2048 ; ISNUMBER( AXA::C3 : AXA::C2048 ) ) ; ROWS( FILTER( AXA::C3 : AXA::C2048 ; ISNUMBER( AXS::C3 : AXA::C2048 ) ) ) )
Can someone tell me what the syntax error is and / or a better way to accomplish my task?
Regards,
Jim Crowell...

Questions:
1) Is there a way to set a column range that say "From here to the end of the column"?
Somehow the reply got posted before I completed the set of questions, sorry...
1) Is there a way to set a column range that say "From here to the end of the column"?
For example, my table has 2 header rows followed by 4 rows of data with columns A, B, C.
The rows shall grow daily so I am looking for a way to count the rows from C3:X where 'X' is the current last row number.
I tried "C3:"and "C3:C" syntax to no avail.
2) My main table is named AXA and is as described above only with additional columns.
I have another table named YTD where I need to do some Year to Date analysis on the
AXA table.
I am trying to reference [from YTD] the last value in the AXA 'C' column.
I think the following formula should work but I get "The formula contains syntax error".
=AXA::"C"&ROWS(AXA::C)
Note that "=AXA::C6" works fine...
I even tried computing the dynamic cell address and doing an INDIRECT function.
That code worked fine within the YTD table but also failed when I referenced the AXA
table from the YTD table!
This should be an easy thing to do but somehow I am misreading something.
Thanks for you help,
Jim...

Two common commands missing: go to last filled cell and find within column

Hello,
There seem to be two very common commands (and, by extension, shortcuts) that are missing from Numbers. First, in Excel, you can use command+arrow to go to the last filled cell (even if it is a formula without a result). More importantly, combining this command with the shift key allows you to select an entire column, etc. instantly. The command is also smart enough to exclude headers and formulas in the last row only, initially. You can easily add them by using only shift+arrow after the selection has been made.
Next, you apparently cannot search within a particular selection only, such as an entire column or row (or just a custom selected area). This is obviously very useful.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish these tasks is welcome but a search on these forums and a detailed look at the user manual came up with nothing.
Thanks,
Jonna

Different program, different paradigm.
In the tables in Numbers, there is generally no need to have unused columns at the right or unused rows at the bottom. While I agree it would be nice to have a simple key-command that does these things, there is less of a need for them in a program where the last cell filled is usually the last cell there is.
And selecting an entire row, or column, can be accomplished simply by clicking on the "A" (or "B" or "C"...) or "1" (or "2" or "3"...). This does select the headers and footers as well, however.
With respect, the advent of apple spreadsheet software (however much I respect the company) does not represent a new paradigm–it is just "new" and therefore may be missing some crucial features. You do not provide any helpful suggestions, unfortunately, and the problem remains. What if I do not want to select an entire cell but only from a point in the middle of the column to the end? There is no command nor key command for this.
You also say nothing about the search issue, which is clearly a problem.
Anyway, thanks jaxjason, I will send in some feedback.

Formula to calculate the last active value in a row?

When using a simpe table, what formula will display the last active value in the row? Some of the cells are blank. I want a column to show the most recent value, which in this case will be the rightmost, non-blank cell.

B2 through J2 are your data
B3 =IF(B2="","",COLUMN())
Fill that to the rest of row 3
A2 =INDEX(B2:J2,MATCH(MAX(B3:J3),B3:J3,1))
If there are no values in the row, the answer will be an error triangle. You can put the IFERROR function around the formula and give it an answer when there is an error.

Fill down from D1 to active cell in excel ??

Hi all. I am trying to write a script to take the values from column A and subtract the value of A$1 from the rest of column A. To do this manually I set D1 = A1-A$1 and then fill down in column D to the last used row in column A. Then copy-special paste values from column D to column A. Below is what I have written so far, but the "select (ranges "D1" thru active cell)" selects cells D1 and the active cell ($D$5) not from cell D1 down to the active cell.
Any ideas for a newbie?
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
set formula of cell "D1" to "=A1-A$1"
select (get end range "A:A" direction toward the bottom)
set theEnd to (get first row index of active cell)
select cell 4 of row theEnd
select (ranges "D1" thru active cell)
fill down (ranges "D1" thru active cell)
end tell

I figured out a way to do what I was after, but I would think there is a more direct way of doing it.
If anyone has a way to slim down or clean-up this script, please let me know.
Here is the script I have now.
tell application "Microsoft Excel"
set formula of cell "D1" to "=A1-A$1"
select (get end range "A:A" direction toward the bottom)
set theEnd to (get first row index of active cell)
select column 4 of row theEnd
set lastRow to "D" & theEnd as string
set range1 to "D1:" & lastRow
fill down range (range1)
end tell

Active Cell or Active Row in Matrix

alguem sabe como descubro qual a linha e/ou célula ativa de um Grid (Matrix) ?
Ativa não é o mesmo que Selecionada, portanto o método GetNextSelectedRow não serve.
Obrigado.

Hi Wagner,
You can use pVal.Row which returns you the active row number (Row UID).
You can use
oMatrix.Columns.Item(Coumn UID).Cells.Item(Row UID).Click(SAPbouiCOM.BoCellClickType.ct_Regular,0);
to get the reference of the cell.

How to set different renderers to different cells in same column of JTable?

Hello Friends,
I need your help again...
Does any body knows, how to set different renderer's for different cells of same column in JTable..??
For ex.

A       A       A      A
A       A       A      B
A       A       A      C
A       A      A       D
Where A B C D would be different Renderers. I want set exactly same ,,, ie. one column with different renderer at different cell positions..
Right now i m setting renderer using statement bellow :
table.getColumnModel().getColumn(int).setCellRenderer(rederer_Instance);But with this, effect in the last renderer is applicable whole column....
Can any body help me out ?????????

Last Active Payroll Record

Hi,
I am new to ABAP-HR.
I am using logical database PNP to get payroll. But i want to get only the last active payroll for a personnel number. How to achieve this ? Is there any Macro for this ?
Please guide on this.
Thanks & Regards

Hi
See the sample Payroll report to fetch the Overtime.
We can control the Last active payroll using the RGDIR table fields

I want to add same value/text in every cell in a column in Numbers 3.0

I want to add same value/text in every cell in a column. For example, in all my file names are for pictures that are uploaded to a host site, but the name in the cell does not include the URL associated with it. Does anyone know how to be able to add text to a whole column in front of the current text already in that column?

Assume the filenames are in column C.
Let's says you want to add the text before each file name "http://www.apple.com/"
add a new column (let's say D) and add the formula:
D1="http://www.apple.com/"&C
this is shorthand for... in cell D1 type (or paste from here) the text ""http://www.apple.com/"&C" without the first and last double quotes
select D1, copy
select the column D by clicking the letter D at the top of the column, paste
The "&" is called the concatenate operator and joins two strings together

Do I =Reference a data cell? or =Address the Cell

OK,
Anybody know why I cant "=reference" or "=Address" a single cell in Table 1 from Table 3? I'm using the following Function: "= ADDRESS (Row 30 :: Column B :: Table 1). I'm very new and am feeling very, very stupid!!!
I would also like to be able to add a sheet to the "correct" equation so that I can also reference between sheets, tables, columns and rows.
Thanks!!!
A very humbled MAC Fanatic
Bob
P.S. the cell I am trying to reference has function "=SUM(B2:B29)". I have tried using this formula, as well as, a specific number without any equation attached to it... Same results! TX!!!

I tink what Yvan was trying to imply was that the reference might not be bad, its the use of the function.
ADDRESS
The ADDRESS function constructs a cell address string from separate row, column, and table identifiers.
ADDRESS(row, column, addr-type, addr-style, table)
The address function takes multiple arguments, that then return a string that LOOKS like a true reference. This can be used by Indirect to return a true reference that can be utilized inside other functions. It allows a refrence to be constructed from the results of other cells values.
I utilize this one often if I have a single table for each month and need to create a summary table that reports on each other table. I just list the tables as a column of data, refer to it from an address inside indirect within my sum or average, or offset, and fill down. It gives the ability of adding more tables, users etc... and never having to rewrite the formulas. Just fill down.
The other thing that is wrong is the format of the reference posted itself though:
Row 30 :: Column B :: Table 1
would actually be:
Table 1::B30
So, when you put it all together, the user is trying to put a SUM result as the Row argument of a address function without providing at least the minimum required arguments for Address. While possibly parsing the reference wrong.

Multicolumn list box, "operate value tool" and "active cell"

If I use the "operate value tool" to select a row
of the multicolumn list box, that row gets a dark blue background.
However, I cannot determine which property will tell me what is that row or let me
change that row number. It is not the active cel or "edit position".
I want to programatically change the selection just as the "operate value tool" does. I can change the background color of the cell but the dark blue of the cells selected by the "operate value tool" take precedence and hide my colors.
Extremely frustrated and wishing for Java or C++...

Hi Alan,
Have a look at event structures and invoke nodes (Point to Row Column) and use property nodes. Here is an attachment.

Absolute cell references with named cells?

I know how to make a cell reference absolute with numbered cells, as in $A12.
But what if the formula includes named cells, as in:
=Table 1 :: 'Electric - Tank' Annual Fuel Cost+Table 1 :: 'Electric - Tank' annual maintenance
I have tried the $ in various places, no luck so far. Please help...

I found another similar thread, and the folks there helped me figured out what I was doing wrong.
You need $ before EACH reference, both the cell's Row header AND column header. This made sense for the "old" cell label way, but the header names confused me at first. So:
=Table 1 :: $Electric Tank $Annual Fuel Cost+Table 1 :: $Electric Tank $annual maintenance

I cannot get GPS Only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX

It seems like I cannot get GPS only to work on my ipad3 (4g version, but not on an active cell plan, and wifi off). Is there some new requirement in 7.1 or 7.1.1 to have cell and/or wifi enabled for GPS to work? I am testing with MotionX, garmin blueChart mobile, and a GPS monitoring tool. All show no signal. If I turn on cell and wifi, it says I get gps signal, but can't tell if that is from the GPS chip, or just from cell and wifi only (maybe with some gps mixed in)? Any ideas on how to get iPad working with GPS only??

Roger that. Thanks for your time.

Default cell values for column not properly saved in uir file in labwindows 2009 (9.1.0 427)?

I've run into a strange problem with the table control. Basically, even though I set default cell values for a particular column as numeric, when I try to add items to the list it tries to add them as strings, and returns an error message that it is expecting *char instead of int. Furthermore, when I open the uir file that contains the table in question in 2010, it appears as if the default cell values for that column are still set as strings, even though in 2009 when I open the uir file it shows as numbers. I tried converting the uir to C code, and sure enough the C code indicated that the column still is a string type.
I've gone ahead and made a small project to show the issue. If you open this project in labwindows 2009 and click on the table in the table_bug.uir, and edit default cell values for column 1, you will see that the cell settings have type as numeric and data type as int. When you run the project, however, it will fail with an error message saying that it is looking for a *char. When this same project is loaded into labwindows 2010, clicking on the table in table_bug.uir and edit default cell values (column 1) shows the type as string. When I change this to numeric (and change numeric attribute to int), this runs fine in 2010. I tried simply changing the uir in 2010, and then using it in 2009, but 2009 complains that the uir is from a newer version (understandable). If there is any workaround that would let me continue to use 2009 for the time that would be great.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks,
Alex Corwin

I opened the UIR in 2009 (but I have 2009 SP1) and it still showed that the default value for the first column was a string. I didn't have any problems changing it to a numeric int, and then building and running the project without error.
Here are a few things you can try:
1) Change the default value to a string. OK out of the dialog, re-enter the dialog, and change it back to Numeric int. Resave and see if the problem has gone away.
2) You said you get a ".UIR is from a newer version" error when opening the 2010 UIR in 2009. Does the UIR still open if you click okay? Often times this will work just fine. Assuming you don't have any problems with this, make a minor change to the UIR in 2009, such as moving the table to the left, and then back to the right and then re-save. See if your program works now.

How can I copy a formula to 1,000 contiguous cells in a column?

How can I copy a formula to 1,000 contiguous cells in a column?

As long as the cell uses "relative" forumla, I usually take an intelligent brute force effect:
Copy 1 to another, copy the 2 to 4, 4 to 8, 8 to 16, 16 to 32, 32 to 64, 64 10 128, 128 to 256 3 times over.
Does not take as long as one would think, and is a controllable process.

Function that returns currently selected cell address or column

Is there a function that returns the address (or just the column) of the currently selected cell? Simply put, something like =selectedcolumn.
Background: I want to display help text in a cell, and I want that help text to change according to which cell (actually, which column) the user has selected. I have put the help texts in a hidden row. They take up too much space to be displayed all the time. I want one cell to contain the help text of the column of the currently selected cell.
Trying to not use Filemaker for this project if possible
Thanks for any help /Matt

The Numbers method, using comments as Barry showed, is probably the best method. An alternate method which is more complex would be to use an Applescript running in the background. The Applescript can scan in the background for which cell/column is currently selected and write that cell/column address into a cell in your table. A formula in your table (most likely a lookup formula) can use that address to serve up the correct help text in a diffrerent cell in the table or in another table.
Some problems with this methodare
The script is not part of the document. It is a separate entity.
The script must be started manually. It will not automatically start when the Numbers document is opened.
If the Numbers document is to be used on other Macs, each would also need the script installed.
