Revers table in Numbers

How to revers table in Numbers from left to right for English to right to left for hebrew?

Hi Ian,
Just as a test, I added Hebrew in System Preferences > Language and Region then restarted my Mac. Never again! Very, very frightening! I am lucky that I am now back in Australian English.
Like you I tried Hebrew when I tested, thinking that might somehow trigger Numbers to add the non-existent menu items described in the help to which Nubz linked. After all surely an Apple representative couldn't be leading us astray, so my thought was that I must have been missing something! But of course, no joy.
I'm now back to English (and other LTR languages such as Chinese ... which is also legible RTL ... movie subtitles often used to be written RTL and some still are ... and, of course, top-to-bottom in columns starting at the right and working to the left).
Anyway, I've been careful not to confuse myself even more by trying to grapple with the complexities of Australian English.

I cannot add form to table in Numbers

I have a table in Numbers (iOS 8.1.2, iPhone 6 Plus) that I'm unable to add a form for. It has a header row designated (one header row). What would cause something like this?

Yes thanks. I had all of those requirements. I ended up deleting the table and re-adding. I think the issue was I was pasting in values from Excel (on OS X Yosemite) into the Numbers app on Yosemite, then accessing on my iPhone. Basically I think I just really confused Numbers on iOS. It's working fine now.

I am using a table in Numbers to plot daily graph lines. Mood swings of how I am on the day, i"m a depressive.
If I fill a cell with a step box at say zero it plots the graph. I can't actually set the cell value until the actual day but the graph plots it at zero when I don't want it to plot anything. Is there a work around. so thatbgraph only plots on the day?

The answer is (sort of) in your subject, but edited out of the problem statement in the body of your message.
When you use a stepper or a slider, the value in the cell is always numeric, and is always placed on the chart if that cell is included in the range graphed by the chart.
But if you use a pop-up menu cell, you can specify numeric or text values in the list of choices for in the menu. Numeric values will be shown on the chart. Text values will not.
For the example, the values list for the pop-up menu was:
5
3
1
Choose
-1
-3
-5
The first pop-up was set to display Choose, then the cell was filled down the rest of the column. Any text value (including a single space, if you want the cell to appear blank) may be used instead of Choose.
For charts with negative Y values, the X axis will not automatically appear at Y=0. If your value set will include negative values, I would suggest setting the Y axis maximum and minimum to the maximum and minimum values on your menu list, rather than letting Numbers decide what range to include on the chart. Place a line shape across the chart at the zero level, and choose to NOT show the X axis.

How do I paste a table from Numbers or Excel into Ibook Author exactly as the original?

I am new to iMac and Ibook Author.
I am writing a statistical paper in Ibooks Author.
I have Chapter heading, now section heading and body. I want to paste a table from numbers or excel into my iBook as this has the results of my analysis.
As part of my analysis, I want to copy a 5 column table with 633 rows, which is essentially my table of data. I have the table in numbers and excel.
When I copy the table in numbers or excel, followed by pasting (CmD V) into iBooks, I get the first 20 rows in a table format and the remainder of the table is missing. The table appears to end at the end of the page.
I can not figure out how to paste the entire data as my table.
Its holding me back...
Any ideas?

Hello Loquitir,
I am not fully sure if I understand but I gather since there are so many rows only a certain amount fits on a single page.
How many rows does actually fit on a page in iBooks Author?
There is a method that would look pretty cool that is used to create a double page spread that would look great but instead of having a double page you could maybe have three or four pages.
Here is a quick idea that I stuck together, additionally when you are copying and pasting form Numbers to iBooks Author just select the cells that you want.
Copy and paste within iBooks Author and then go back and get the next row of the table that you want.
I hope I am clear in what I am describing.

Nigel

Listview for new sheets and tables in numbers 3.0

Hi there,
when adding a new sheet or table in numbers 3.0 you get them in a horizontal bar under the symbol-bar.
If you need severals sheets it directly get confusing.
In numbers 09 numbers used to add new sheets in a list view on the left side of the window. And the tables
subordered to each sheet. Is there a possibility to change this view in numbers 3.0 to the same view
as used in numbers 9.0?
If not I will directly change again to 9.0 and hope the apple starts beeing again the big company they
used to be a couple of years ago. They start sucking!

Hi Yellowbox,
I apreciate your answer.
I already switched back to 9.0! To have the sheets and their subtables on left site in listview matches my business scenario. For making calculations for severals companies working on the same project, it is more comfortable to have one sheet per company and for each related service an exra table. For me it wouldn't be clear anymore while using 3.0.
Thanks again for your effort.
My big question is, way want somebody forcing you to do something like they think it should be!?
The machines are very powerful. So please let us work / use the tools as we feel the best.
The strategy to force someboy to used in a special manner, used to be typically for Microsoft.
This is one good reason why a lot of people switched to Apple! THINK DIFFERENT!!!! and not
THINK LIKE US!!!
Please rethink companies politics.
What is the matter of having Icloud if I only can load special material, with only certain special software releases?
What is the matter of having Fotostream if i am forced to delete a picture from every of my devices wich costs a lot of time! Where ist the option, delete from this advice or completey from icloud?
What is the matter of having such expensive products like Ipads/Iphones/... if I need special apps which aren't at all comfortable to load unload single fotos / ...
What is the benefit of having time machine if it only works with special hardware? I have a perfectly running 12TB BackupSystem/NAS and can't us it!
Why should I spent so much many to have the best computer equipment if I can't use it like i need it?
And please from release to release the system is more and more bothering and interacting with the user... this is one of the reason why Microsoft products are so horrible. When I am sitting on my computer I want WORK and not getting one alert, warning, interaction behind the other. I want work! I want to be effective! So please, give up from this method of interacting with the user.
Why has Iphoto to be so aggressive? I dont want to put pictures in events. And neither and predifend events respecting the time stamp! I just want to have a file watcher which keeps up to date a tree (with the manipulating options of Iphoto) of a certain folder structure. NOTHING ELSE!
APPLE = GOOD PRODUCTS, BUT ALMOST NOT USABLE
Maybe I should switch again to SuSe Linux ;-)

How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula?

hi everyone
i need help
How can I copy tables from Numbers to Pages without formula in the cells?

Ok... I see your problem... when pasting into Pages, the formulas from Numbers are included. Perhaps this is really more of a Pages question (in which case I'm far from expert). A couple of ideas:
• In Pages, try "Edit"/"Paste and Match Style", which may insert tab delimited cell values (no formulas). Then, if you want the table format back, select these newly pasted tabbed values and use Page's "Format"/"Table"/"Convert Text to Table"/
• In Numbers, before copying, make a temporary table of the plain values first, then copy and paste that into Pages. To do this, select the range of cells you desire in the Numbers and "Edit"/"Copy". Then "Edit"/"Deselect All" and "Edit"/"Paste Values" and "Edit"/"Cut". Now just a table of values is on the clipboard and you can head over to Pages to paste.

Working with two or more tables in Numbers

Working with two or more tables in Numbers
It is possible to write numbers or names in Table 1 B-2, B-3, B-4, B-5, B-6 etc. and automatically copy in Table 2 only B-2, B-4, B-9, B23 etc.
What do I need to do???
Thanks for the help

The table on the left is named "Source" and on the right "Destination":
In the table "Destination" on the right:
B2=Source :: B2
select B2 and fill down

Having a hard time creating a shopping list table in Numbers

I'm trying to create a standard shopping list of about 100 standard items we like to always have available (this helps for budgeting purposes and also keeps last minute trips to the store to a minium, in case you are wondering). I just started a table in Numbers. I need some cells to be different sizeds (not just columns or rows) than others -- is this possible? I haven't found the help on the toolbar to be particularly helpful.
I'm finding Numbers rather frustrating . . . .I know it's me though.

If the contents of a cell are lists, and different lists have a different numberof items
Suzanne,
Probably best to think of having just one item per cell. The cells can then be grouped, manipulated, counted, and summed in the many useful ways that spreadsheets are designed for.
For some simple examples of lists you might want to check out the Checklist and Checklist Total templates. In your menu go to File > New, and you should see this:

How do I create a pivot table in numbers?

How do I create a pivot table in numbers?

SO HERE'S WHAT I GOT TO WORK:
Truth is all the real functionality of categories and pivot tables exists in the formulas. You just have to
Create a new table with a list of the categories in the header column.
Add SUMIFS() formula from the browser into the next column.
Enter your arguments and make sure to check "Preserve Column" for each of them.
Although it might not be apparent, you can enter multiple test value and condition pairs.
While I admit the formulas are not nearly so graphic as categories, they are cleaner and less restricting, and they aren't any more difficult to work with than pivot tables.

Embed table from Numbers 09 Document

I am using both Pages and Numbers when working with a business plan document. The content of the document is being authored in Pages and the financial documents are being managed with Numbers.
How can I integrate full page tables from Numbers into a Pages document?
With iWork 08 I was copying and pasting dozens of tables into Pages and doing basic formatting to make the entire table visible. I needed to paste these tables in a textbox in order to rotate them to landscape.
Is there an easier way to link these tables in iWork 09? I really like the linking of charts but I do not see any way to do the same for tables.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I have the same problem as you have (business plan...). Very annoying indeed. I already wrote a "pages feedback" to Apple. Perhaps you could do that, too. The more people "complain" the better.
The sad part is that we will probably have to wait for pages '10 to see that feature.
Best regards

Split Excel tables into individual tables in Numbers

Is there a way, having opened a file with multiple tables from excel, to make them into separate tables in Numbers. The tables have links between them and if I copy paste into a new sheet I lose the link. I no longer have access to Excel to put them all on separate Tabs. Thanks
Reg

Select a range of cells, press shift-command-X (mark for move), go to a cell in the new table and press shift-command-V (move).

How do I add a cell count to the data already in my tables in Numbers '08?

I am using Numbers '08, Mac OS X 10.8.2
I have a spreadsheet with a number of different tables. Each table refers to a style of music and lists songs in that style. I want to count the number of songs in each table (bearing in mind that the first row in each table is a heading and would not be counted). I also want this number to automatically update each time a new song is added or removed. Is there are way of adding this number count into data that is already stored or would I need to start from scratch with a specific table style?

Smiley
I would approach this a little differently, but there are more similarities than differences.
I would change the names of the list tables from Table 1, Table 2, etc. to Jazz, Pop, etc.
Column A would have the song number, Column B, the song name.
In Column A, I would write: =IF(LEN(B)>0, ROW()-1 & "."
That's all the programming for the data tables. You can insert and delete and sort to your heart's content.
For the statistics I would have a table named "Summary". In the Summary table you would list the genres in Column A and would calculate the number of songs for each genre in Column B. The calculation of titles per genre would be:
=COUNTA(INDIRECT(A&"::B"))
The calculation for the combined total in the Footer row would be:
=SUM(B)
Here's a screen shot:
As you add genre tables, just add rows to the Summary table and expand the genre list, filling the count formula down.
I suggest that if you want to try my way, that you do it with a little sample table, like the one I used, to see if the formulas all work in Numbers 08. If anything fails, report it and we can try to adapt it to the old program.

Jerry

Sorting tables in Numbers 3.2.2

I’m part of a friendly badminton league and I’m in charge of keeping track of the standings for the league.
I compile each week’s results in a scoring sheet (FEUILLE DE POINTAGE in the picture below), which help me sort players according to various statistics.
I was sorting the players according to the MPM column when I realized that something was quite amiss… In the picture below, you see one of the tables before sorting:
As you can see, Karine Larouche’s MOY value is the result of PTS / PJ (each cell has PRESERVE ROW and PRESERVE COLUMN «activated»). But when I sort the table according to the MPM column (which works), here’s what I get:
The MOY cell doesn’t point to the right values! And this is happening to the entire spreadsheet: values get garbled and mixed up as soon as I try to sort stuff!
I seem to miss something and I just don’t understand what is going on…
What I want, essentially, is that when I sort those tables according to various columns (MPM, then TPM, then PG, for example) values for each player stay «locked up» with that player (Say, Karine Larouche’s MOY stat is using her PTS and PJ values [as in the CLASSEMENT DES REMPLAÇANTS-1], not Marc-André Caya’s values [like in CLASSEMENT DES REMPLAÇANTS]). I don’t want Numbers to sort cells individually, but sort rows according to the columns I ask it.
How can I achieve that? What’s the correct method? I’ll have almost 20 weeks of stats to compile and I don’t want this simple task becoming a nightmare!
The original spreadsheet was created in Numbers ’09 (in which it worked just fine)… Should I start it from scratch in Numbers 3.2.2?
Thanks!

In the MOY category, in row 2 put the formula =F2/B2. Then turn on the preserve column, but not the preserve row. That should fix it.

How do I create overlapping tables in Numbers?

I've been fighting with numbers and so far I've found the users guide and help more frustrating than useful. After much searching, I found out that numbers apparently can't do what I wanted to do (dynamically create the entries in a popup from data on a table. I *DO NOT* want to edit the popup items directly).
So I went hunting for a second choice...which I found an acceptable solution, except there are a few critical details missing. The discussion had this bit in it below. My question is, how do I create this locked table underneath another cell? I've been unable to find anything searching via google, in numbers help, or the numbers users guide and I'm beyond frustrated right now. I need step by step instructions and please don't assume I know anything about numbers.
"The trick is to have a locked table underneath the input cell. The formula will be in the locked table and the input cell will have a transparent Fill so you can see the underlying table content."
The full discussion is here:

Starting point: A single sheet document with one table. For simplicity, I'll assume the one table is the one inserted on the original sheet, and has not been resized or otherwise reformatted.
• Insert a second table (Table 2"). Choose Plain as the type. (ie. No header rows, No header columns)
     - Use the Column and Row Handle (bottom right corner of the table); drag it up and left to reduce the table to a single cell.
• Edit the contents of this cell to contain the formula you wish.
• Click on the Table 2 icon in the Sheets list at the left to Select Table 2. You will see square handles at the corners (and in the center of the top and bottom edges) of Table 2.
* Drag Table 2 (the table itself, not the icon) into position in front of Table 1 (the original table). If necessary, use the arrow keys to nudge it into position.
• Go to the Arrange menu and choose Lock. The square handles will change to grey x characters, indicating the selected object is locked.
• Click on the Table 1 icon to select Table 1.
• Go Arrange > Bring to Front. Table 2 and its content will disappear behind Table 1.
• Open the Inspector and choose the Table inspector. Find the Cell Background section, and click the Color Well below the popup menu (which should say "Color Fill").
• The Color Picker will open. Move the Opacity slider to the left end of the bar (0). The content of Table 2 will become visible again.
• To hide the contents of Table 2 when an entry is made in the cell in front of it, you will need either:
       a formula in the Table 2 cell that changes its value to "" (a null string) when the cell in front is not empty, or
       a conditional formatting rule that places an opaque white fill in the front cell when it is not empty.
The formula or the conditional rule will depend on the possible values to be placed in the front cell.

Barry
