Referencing another Sheet

Is there a way to reference another sheet in formscentral responses table? I want to have all the response data tabulated on one sheet and all the calculations on another.

Hello JKujak,
Yes, FormsCentral allows you to construct formulas referencing cells in tables on other sheets. There are two ways to do so:
Using Numbers-style references: MyOtherSheet::SomeTable::A1
Using Excel-style references: MyOtherSheet!SomeTable!A1
For example, both of these formulas equally refer to the cell C3 in the table Monthly, on the sheet Expenses:
= Expenses::Monthly::C3
and
= Expenses!Montly!C3
I hope this helps,
Marco

Can't link to a cell in another sheet at certain point

Hello,
this is the first time I use the support communities.
I have a continuing promblem with numbers ( v. 2.3). I'm working on a projekt for my univerity and are quite familiar with number. But at a certain point it get's impossible to link to another cell on a different sheet! This works fine until a certain point (which I actually don't know).....
I do the same stuff which I did very often before but it dosent work....
1. I click on the cell I want to have the linked value in it
2. I press = to start linking.
3. I go to the cell i want to take the data from (in another sheet).
4. The Box becomes white with the name and position of the source cell in it. But when I klick enter it dosn't work....
I really don't have an idea what this could be... It worke fine in the same way before a few hundered times... Is there any limitation of link's between the single sheets or something?
I'm very glad for any help in this issue
Regards,
Gregor

On your last screenshot, you had moved off of the cell you were working on. The resulting formula/reference was not shown.
Becasue it is not in English, it is hard for me to tell for sure what might be going on. The reference in your third screnshot looked odd to me. In English it would be one of the following forms when referencing a cell on a different sheet:
Sheet name::Table Name::Cell address
Table Name::Cell Address
or, if "use header names as cell addresses" is on
Sheet name::Table name::column name row name
Table name:: column name row name
column name row name
The reference shown in your third screenshot doesn't seem to fit that pattern
I am assuming if you look at your resulting formula, the cell reference is not in a colored oval, it looks like plain text.
I've seen header names get misinterpreted by Numbers, like it can't figure them out and make a reference from them. If you are using header names as cell references, changing the names can fix it. Turning off that feature might also fix it. I don't use that feature usually; it often makes my formulas too long and complicated.
I have not seen a similiar problem with table and sheet names but you could try changing them to see if it helps.
Sometimes Numbers simply has a problem with a reference and you have to start over with the formula and it will work the next time. I don't know why, it just happens sometimes.

Insert data from another sheet

I have a problem;
I want to be able to create a drop down list on one sheet that references a table on another sheet. The data looks like this;
UNIT
Cost per day
unit a
10
unit b
20
unit c
30
I am hoping to create a Drop-down box on another sheet that lets me select a 'unit', and then places the Cost per day in the cell next to it.
Is this possible within numbers without a huge IF'cell'= formula?
My aim is to be able to use an iPad running Numbers to create instant quotes when onsite with clients, by referencing a data sheet but presenting it nicely.

Yes, VLOOKUP should work nicely for that. Set the formula up on one sheet and complete it by clicking the ranges in the lookup table on the other sheet.

Transfer from Subtotal in one table to another sheet.

Hi, about a year ago i made a salary application for my production company. This works quite well, but when I supposed to report amounts for each employed to the swedish tax authorities I am still not automatic because I haven't solved how to transfer a subtotal sum to a specific cell in another sheet. I am sure that this has been discussed earlier, but in the searches I have done I can't find a similar question. So if someone has an idea where to look or knows if it is possible.
What I would need is to have a formula like LOOKUP (I guess that is the english formula for looking up references) or similar so that I can identify a Subtotal for a specific class of rows (i.e. salaries for one person).

Thanks for the reply. If I understand you correctly the approach is simple an genial. I am all the time using and thinking within the frame of the elegant sorting functions that you find in the tables. Very easy to use when you need a quick result, though as far as I can see impossible to bring with you. But of course just put the conditions i a Sum.if. Simple!
Thanks.

Can I use a cell value to reference a table on another sheet?

I'm not sure if this is possible and I have had no luck with searches, here is what I am attempting to do...
On my first sheet I have a number of tables, each holding information on a service. Each table is named to match the service name.
On another sheet I have a list of clients that use these services, with the service name (to match the table name on the first sheet) in a cell in the client's row.
I would like to pull data from one of the cells on the Service table to include it in a concatenate formula in the clients row.
I was hoping to be able to use the value of the cell with the service name in it as part of the formula to reference the service sheet...
For example:
="something"&Services::B2::C6&"something"
Is this possible, or is there a way I can work around the auto corrections that numbers keeps applying?
Cheers

you can construct the text of a cell reference as a string by concatenating information then use the function indirect() to turn the string into a reference.
so you would do something like:
=indirect("something"&Services::B2::C6&"something")
this is assuming that "something"&Services::B2::C6&"something" results in a string that would be a valid reference.

Creating a "Print View" of a Table on Another Sheet

Hi-
I would like to create a "print view" of a table on another sheet that already has reorganization filters applied to it. There is a template in Numbers called "Employee Schedule" that has exactly this, where the "printable" table's cells simply reference every cell in the source table on the other sheet.
I know there is a way to very quickly (i think with a dragging motion), create the references in each cell in one or two operations, as opposed to going to each individual cell and typing in the reference to the source table. I saw a post about how to do this a while back but cannot seem to locate it again
How do I do this? Thanks again for everyones help ;-)
Thanks
Matt

Hi-
Re-reading this, I don't think this answered my question. I understand how to reference a single cell, but how do you reference an entire table easily without having to go to each cell.
Thanks

Matt,
Select the first cell by clicking once on it, such that the border is highlighted. Then grab the little circle in the lower right corner of the border and drag it to the end of your table, either right or down. You can use this method to fill down or to the right. Sometimes it can be fussy, and if it refuses to behave, then you can use the alternate method, Copy and Paste. Click once on the first cell and Command-C. Shift-click the last cell and Command-V.

Autocomplete from another table in another sheet in same file

I found how to get a price to autofill using VLOOKUP. I like it.
Now, I want to be lazier and not need to type in the full item name in the row heading completely & exactly every time. I also don't want to have a drop down menu in every item line in each table unless there is no better alternative. I would like Numbers to autofill from an inventory list (table with quantities, prices, etc.) in another sheet. It seems that I should have been able to find this function explained but my searches were inadequate.
Then, I will want Numbers to automatically update another column in the inventory table with the quantity of that item sold & the amount remaining which will cause calculations for the value remaining & sold in other columns (without changing the original inventory column). It seems to me that the formula may require numbers to search each table in each sheet for the item name in that row and add all sale quantities together. This means that the formulas would be constantly searching which sounds like it could slow things down a bit. So, again, maybe there's a more efficient way of doing this.
Please help me find these efficiency tools. ThankU

I want to copy an entire row from one table in one sheet to another table in another sheet retaining all values and formulas? So that if I make a change in the original sheet it propagates to the other sheet
(1) A change in the original will propagate to the other table if the change is in the 'copied' row.
(2) what you require can't be achieve by a copy process.
It requires the use of external references which are perfectly described in the User Guide (page 122 in the English version).
(3) sure, a reference is a cell's attribute so you will have to enter it in every cell of the row.
When it's done for one row you may use the Fill Down tool which is also described (with quite all you need to use Numbers) in the User Guide.

I want to copy a name to another Sheet when it appears in a column and track how many times it appears.

I have a golf pool and I am wondering if this is possible to do within the spreadsheets or if I would need to run a script (which I have no experience doing). I am trying to track the number of times a Participant picks a particular golfer, as you are only allowed to pick a player 8 times during the year and of those 8, only 4 times as your Captain.
Here is the main page:
Table 1
The Participants picks (Players) are filled in each week from a master list ( Table 3 below) so I want to create another sheet that would look something like this:
Table 2
Table 3
Is it possible to create the list of golfers in Table 2 "automatically" as they are populated into Table 1 each week?
I also thought of duplicating Table 3 ( list of about 300 players) and instead of having the name of the tournament in the columns, using the Participants names.
I would then like this new table (Table 4) to total the number of times a Players name showed up under a Participants name from Table 1. It would look something like this:
Table 4
I hope I've explained this question well enough.
Thanks - James

Hi jands,
With the way you have your main table organized (merged cells in the headers for one) it will be simplest to use your proposed table 4 with the list of all potential players and then run a filter on it to only show relevant players. If your main Sheet contained individual tables for each participant you could have a summary table for comparisons and a single formula would retrieve your counts.
I would use SUMIF(test-values,condition,sum-values) to pull the player count from the main table.
Table 4::C2 =SUMIF(Table 1::C,B2) This assumes that Table 1::C is the player column under James U. You would have to tweak this formula for each Participant.
Table 4::D2 =SUMIF(Table 1::G,B2) And so on.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.? I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not cell content.

Is it possible to apply conditional formatting to a cell (or range) based upon a LOOKUP query to cell values in another sheet.?
I want to alter the formatting (i.e., text and/or cell background color), but not the content, of the target cell(s).

Hi Tom,
Your LOOKUP formula will return a value that it finds in the "other" table. That value can be used in conditional highlighting rules. (Numbers 3 calls it conditional highlighting, not conditional formatting. Just to keep us awake, I guess, but it works the same).
Please explain what you are trying to do.

How can I copy a row from one sheet and paste it in a column in another sheet?

I would like to copy a row of numbers from one sheet and paste it into a column in another sheet. Is it possible to do this with numbers?

Hi Dennis,
Numbers doesn't have a built-in Paste Special > Transpose the way you have in Excel. However, there are ways to do this in Numbers that are not difficult.
Here are two ways:
Approach 1:
Select the row of numbers, and command-c to copy to the system clipboard.
Click on the canvas and command-v to paste, automatically creating a new table.
With that new table still selected, in your menu choose Table > Transpose Rows and Columns.
Select the cells in the transposed table, command-c to copy, click once in a cell of the destination column of your target table, and command-v to paste.
Approach 2: (after a quick installation, very similar to Excel's built-in Paste Special > Transpose)
Download this Copy Transpose Automator Service, and double-click to install (if necessary choosing Open Anyway in System Preferences > Security and Privacy).
Thereafter to use just:
select the row of numbers you want to copy
with the cells still selected, choose Copy Transpose from the Numbers > Services menu
click once in the destination column and command-v to paste the transposed values.
Note that the second approach does not handle cells with formulas, whereas the first approach will.

Dynamic Calc referencing another Dynamic Calc

Hi,
I found a problem today in a Dynamic Calc member formula.
Member A has in formula: B;
Member B has in formula: C + D;
Both members are Dynamic Calc and while member B shows the correct result, member A shows nothing in forms. If I switch the formula of member A to C + D; then it shows results.
Is there any problem of Dynamic Calc members referencing another Dynamic Calc members?
Thank you

or change the position of member A/member B in the outline.^^^Exactly, Essbase is calculating the dimension top to bottom and if A needs B, it needs to be after B or as Andre stated, you need to stick a two-pass on A. I prefer not to use two-pass unless i need to as it can FUBAR my YTD and variance calcs. It's just easier to have it work in the "right" order.

I have a table that I want to mirror on another sheet in Numbers

I have a table that I want to mirror on another sheet in Numbers. Ideally it would be from another file but it looks like numbers doesn't support this right now.
It would be used to combine several regions into one national table file. Is doing the = for each cell the most efficient way to do this? Below is a screenshot of how my data is formatted. This list would be around 30 rows but it could be anywhere from 1 - 150 for each of 8 regions each having their own table. I want to combine all of those into a master list for the national file.
It also appears that the checkmark box for data does not copy as well. It returns false but formatting it back into a checkbox loses the = functionallity and it won't update.

Hi Brandon,
Rather than having eight regional tables and then struggling to consolidate them, have you considered having one table and then extracting regional views and data from it? In many situations that can be more efficient.
To get a regional view from the master table you could use a filter, something like this (substitute Region for Type):
And extract sums and counts using a summary table for each region, something like this:
