Select a range of cells?

How do I select a range of cells to, say, copy and paste? In Excel I highlighted the cell and at the bottom right corner I clicked on a dark cross and dragged it to the last cell I wanted to highlight. How do I do this in Numbers.? I am in the process of convertin MS Word and Excel files to Pages and Numbers. All comments welcome.

Select a range of cells using ActiveCell

I am trying to select a range of cells using ActiveCell.Offset
This is really testing me, up to now I have this:-
Private Sub CommandButton1_Click()
    Windows("example.xls").Activate
    With Worksheets("Data").Range("C1:C65536")
    Set c = .Find("", LookIn:=xlValues)
    If Not c Is Nothing Then
    firstAddress = c.Address
    Do
    c.Select
    Loop While Not c Is Nothing And c.Address <> firstAddress
    End If
    End With
    Start_Point = ActiveCell.Address
    ActiveCell.Select
    ActiveCell.Offset(rowOffset:=-50, columnOffset:=0).Activate
    ActiveCell.Select
End Sub
I want to select the last 50 cells in column C
Please help!
Thanks.

How to make table cell drop down menu from an existing range in cell

Is this possible?? Checked all over the web & coming up empty. Trying to avoid re-typing in contents from previously created tables in the cell format pop-up menu. Please help.

I don't think there is an easy way to do this unless Yvan comes up with a script for you.
One option is to select the range of cells and copy/paste to TextEdit (yes, surprisingly it'll take a range of cells) then from TextEdit you can copy/paste each cell's contents one at a time to the popup menu list. Still a pain but it might be easier than other methods. The workflow I found quickest was to position TextEdit near the Inspector pane (which is open to the Cell inspector with your popup in it) and have the top of the Numbers window nearby. Double click on one cell's contents in TextEdit then Cmd-C to copy, click on the Numbers window up in the toolbar to make Numbers active again without selecting a different cell, then put the contents in the inspector (hit + then paste with Cmd-V). Repeat.

Which formula(a) do I use to select any value that is than 0 but 7 out of a range of cells and sum them.

I'm working on a sheet that I want to use to select a specific part based on values created by the sum of values in other cells. I am down to the point where I need to select a low range of numbers
If the sum of cell D5 equals any sum between 1-15 will equal = part 1
If the sum of cell D5 equals any sum between 16-23 will equal = part 2 ,
If the sum of cell D5 equal antsy sum between 24-32 will equal part 3.
I'm at a loss how to make one formula or combination of formulas do this.
Thanks in advance.

Hi Al,
The confusion arises from your having asked two separate questions, one in the subject line, the other in the body of your initial post.
1.
How do I sum only the values greater than zero and less than 7 in a range of cells?
This formula supplied by SGIII does what you have asked there:
=SUMIFS(A,A,">0",A,"<7")
The syntax is:
SUMIFS(sum-values, test-values, condition, test-values, condition…)
sum-values ( A ) is the range of cells containing the values to be summed (all the body cells in column A)
test-values and condition come in pairs. the first names the range of values to be tested, the second names the condition that must be met.
In this formula, the test-values in each pair are the same as the sum values.
condition ( ">0" ) is the first condition that must be met by these values. (greater than zero)
the second condition ( "<7" ) is the second condition that must be met (less than seven)
To be included in the sum, a value in the list must meet both conditions: It must be greater than 0 AND less than 7. IN SG's example, there are two values that meet both conditions, 2 in A2 and 6 in A5, that meet both conditions. Their sum, 8, is shown in A10, whch is the cell containing the formula.
2
If the sum of cell D5 equals any sum between 1-15 will equal = part 1
If the sum of cell D5 equals any sum between 16-23 will equal = part 2 ,
If the sum of cell D5 equals any sum between 24-32 will equal part 3.
This formula supplied by SGIII, and the Lookup table that goes with it, does what you have asked here.
=VLOOKUP(D5,Lookup::A:B,2,close-match)
Close-match means 'the largest value that is less than or equal to' the search-value.
The search-value is the value in D5
VLOOKUP searches in the leftmost column (A) of the lookup table (columns A and B of the table named Lookup).
With "close-match" specified:
any value that is equal to or greater than 0 and less than 16 will be matched by the 0 in A2. VLOOKUP will return the value in the same row of column 2 (B) of the table: "Part 1"
any value that is equal to or greater than 16 and less than 24 will be matched by the 16 in A3. VLOOKUP will return the value in the same row of column 2 (B) of the table: "Part 2"
any value that is equal to or greater than 24 will be matched by the 24 in A4. VLOOKUP will return the value in the same row of column 2 (B) of the table: "Part 3"
While this is not an exact match with your description above, it will perform exactly as you requested IF the value in D5 is never less than 1 and never greater than 32.
If the possible range is greater than that, I would suggest the changes shown below to the formula and to the lookup table. The column containing numbers is column D, and represents values in D5. Column E shows the result for each value using the given formula and lookup table (LU A). Column F shows results for the same values using the revised formula and lookup tble (LU B):
Original =VLOOKUP(D,LU A :: A:B,2,1)
Revised formula: =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(D,LU B :: A:B,2,1),"N//A")
In the revision, IFERROR takes care of the negative values in D2 and D3. The zero value in D4 and in the last row of column D and the overflow values (greater than 32) are handled by the revisions to the lookup table.
Regards,
Barry

Numbers Select a large range of cells

I select a cell to enter a formula. The key board pops up and I select the Average function. I then try to select a large range of cells, but unable to do so because the Numbers screen will not scroll. I select the cell directly above the keyboard, but when I move my finger up to select 25 rows, I can only move up about 6 rows.
This is using Numbers on an iPad. What advice can you give me for correcting my error.
Thanks

Here is an answer that worked great for me. I found it here:
Concatenating a Range in Excel
You'll have to adapt it for your spreadsheet:
A
B
(result)
1
Apple
2
Baker
=A1&A2
AppleBaker
3
Charlie
=B2&C1
AppleBakerCharlie
4
Denver
=B3&C2
AppleBakerCharlieDenver
5
Edward
(etc.)
You just concatenate two cells together (using the '&' concatenation operator), and then in the next cell you just add on to the end of the result. So that by the end, you have them all in one long string.
You might say "But I have to write out all those formulas". No. As you know, you can just copy the formula to the next cell and Numbers will change the references for you.

XML/XPath question--how to select a range of elements with XPath?

Hi there,
I have an XML DOM in memory. I need to do hold it and issue only parts of it to my client app in "pages". Each page would be a self-contained XML doc, but would be a subset of the original doc. So for instance the first page is top-level elements 1-5. 2nd page would be 6-10 etc. Is this solution best solved with XPath? If not, what's the best way? If so, I have the following question:
Is there a way to use XPath to select a range of nodes based on position within the document? I know I can do an XPath query that will return a single Node based on position. So for example if I wanted the first node in some XML Book Catalog I could do XPathAPI.selectSingleNode(doc, "/Catalog/Book[position()=1]"); I could wrap the previous call in a loop, replacing the numeric literal each time, but that seems horribly inefficient.
Any ideas? Thanks much in advance!

Your question is about marking a range of cells. 99% of the code posted has nothing to do with this. If you want to create a simple table for test purposes then just do:
JTable table = new JTable(10, 5);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( table );
getContentPane().add( scrollPane );
In three line of code you have a simple demo program.
When I leave the mouse button again, these bunch/range of cells shall stay "marked". table.setCellSelectionEnabled( true );
and I'd like to obtain, say, a vector of a vector containing just those data marked beforeUse the getSelectedRows() and getSelectedColumns() methods for this information. I would suggest you create a Point object to reflect the row/column position and then add the point to an ArrayList.

How to Select a range instead of the whole row in Excel? ie a to k, m to z, VBA Code Below.

Sub CopyPasteEntries()
Dim i, g, h As Integer
i = 2
Sheets("Sheet1").Select
Do Until IsEmpty(Cells(i, 1))
    i = i + 1
Loop
g = i - 1
h = 2
For i = 2 To g
    Sheets("Sheet1").Select
    If Cells(i, 1).Value <> "Created" Then 'first cell
        Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Copy
        Sheets("Sheet2").Select
        Cells(h, 1).Select
        ActiveCell.PasteSpecial xlPasteAll
        h = h + 1
    End If
Next
Application.CutCopyMode = False
End Sub

Instead of
Cells(i, 1).EntireRow.Copy
use any of these
Cells(i, 1).Resize(1,11).Copy 'A to K
Intersect(Cells(i,
1).EntireRow, Range("A:K")).Copy
Range(Cells(i, 1), Cells(i,11)).Copy
Range(Cells(i, "A"), Cells(i,"K")).Copy
Range("A" & i & ":K" & i).Copy
Cells(i, 1).Range("A1:K1").Copy

How do i select nonadjacent range in Microsoft Excel 2007 on Macbook?

Hello
I have 1st generation black Macbook and I am running Microsoft Excel 2007 via VMware Fusion. I am currently taking a class of excel 2007 and I would love to use my Macbook to do assignments, but I have problem selecting nonadjacent range cell, such as A1:A5;F1:G5.
In my class, I would use Dell base pc Windows XP: I would select the adjacent range A1:A5, then while holding down the "Ctrl" key, I would select the adjacent range F1:G5, yet when I were to do that with my Macbook, it will work as if I'm clicking the secondary right click. I can not select nonadjacent range.
I thought there must be a way to deactivate the secondary click function by pressing "Ctrl" key, but I'm not sure how I can do that.
Is there anyway I can select nonadjacent range?
thank you for your time.
Masashi

Well then, I believe Yosi should try different combinatins of keys to get it to do what he wants it to do. I just poked around with a few keys and got it to work. If Yosi is new to macs, then I think that is what I would suggest doing. Poke around and you will find what works.
I was not trying to say that because it worked in Numbers that it would be exactly like that for Excel.
If that is how it sounded, I apologize.
Yosi, keep trying different combinations, you will find something that works.
Good Luck.

'Functions' is greyed out when I select a range

I'm obviously missing something here. Recenty upgraded to Numbers 3.0.1 and now, I can no longer use the 'Sum' option under 'Functions'. When selecting a range of numbers, in a column, to calculate, the 'Functions' are now all greyed out. Previously this worked just fine.
I get the summary at the bottom of the spreadsheet but I can not calculate the selected range.
The only thing that works is selecting a single cell. Then the 'Functions' options do appear but selecting 'Sum' calculates everyhing in the entire column, rather than the range I need.
Any help gratefully received.

Hi Richard,
In Numbers 3, here is a selected range of cells, A2:A5
At the bottom left of the window is SUM and several other "instant" statistics:
Drag SUM from the bottom left to any cell:
Cell A7 now contains =SUM(A2:A5)
Many more functions are available by clicking the gear wheel at the bottom right of the window:

Select- Color Range- Results in Blue Screen (PC) (driver out of date)

I've been using the CS6 beta about two days. While experimenting with color range I experienced two consecutive blue screen crashes. The first time it happened,I was working with the color range selector and was replacing the selected areas with another color using the paint bucket. About the third time I attempted this, my PC blue screened. The second time, I opened a photo, went to Select>Color Range and got an immediate blue screen crash.
I then went back to CS5 and I've been playing with the same scenario with no apparent problems.
My PC is a store built computer. It consists of an MSI 990-FXA GD80 motherboard, an AMD Phenom 1100t CPU, Asus GTX550 Ti graphics card and 8 gig of RAM. It boots from a 60 gig SSD and my programs reside on a 500 gig hard drive. The OS is Windows 7 Professional 64 bit. CS6 is using the hard drive for its scratch disk and Photoshop is using 4339 mb of the 7232 mb of available RAM - I haven't changed that. I'm running CS6 as administrator because the way it installed, it would only run in that fashion.
One disappointment during the installation was CS6 made no attempt to read my preferences from the CS5 install. That may be covered in another post, I've not yet looked.
Please keep us informed as new betas are released, because I would like some time to work with this puppy before plunking down big bux for the upgrade. As it is now, I'm going back to CS5. I get mighty nervous when my super computer blue screens!

The GPU is often at root of issues like yours. I've had so many problems with Nvidia drivers for their gaming-oriented adapters (like yours) that I finally went with one of their workstation cards. I have a Quadro card with just enough RAM to make Photoshop happy. The workstation drivers are optimized for reliability, the consumer card drivers are optimized for gaming and that often means they're less stable and reliable with Photoshop.

How do I select a range of values in MySQL using a drop down menu

Hi,
I have a database of picture frames that have a value of
frame width. I want to be able to select a range of values (i.e.
.50" to 1") instead of each and every value (i.e. .50", .56", .76",
etc.). I have a drop down menu (mnuWidth) with 5 ranges (see
attached code).
Each selection has a value from 1 to 5 indicating the range I
want to search. In my results page I have let DW set up a recordset
(see attached code)
Can anyone tell me how to get this to choose a range instead
of just the value entered by my menu?
Thanks in advance.
Tom

I have been growing fond of lookup tables. Your lookup table would have your numbers in one column and the values you want returned in the next.
Lookup table
item
Name
1
a
2
b
3
c
4
d
5
e
6
f
7
g
8
h
9
i
Input table
input
Name
1
a
B2 and copied down:
LOOKUP(A2,lookup::$A$2:$A$11,lookup::$B$2:$B$11)
Caution: Lookup will return the closest value so it it looks for "10" in this example it will return "i"
If you don't want to see the error messages from blank inputs, wrap Lookup in IFERROR.
hope this helps

How do I insert a cell or range of cells in Numbers?

From what I've read, one has to highlight and move cells to create the space for the new cells. This may be fine for small tables, but I have an inventory that currently has over 2000 lines of data. So if I need to add a line of data at row 2, then I would have to highlight 1998 lines of text, which takes a few minutes (holding down the shift and down arrow keys, which only highlights the cells on the screen, so I have to scroll down until my highlighted area ends at the top of the screen, highlight the current page, scroll down, highlight, etc., until I get all 1998 lines highlighted). Then drag them down one line. Then go back up and enter the data.
Can I just say that that is ridiculously complicated in the year 2012 (almost 2013)? Why not just have the same insert function that Excel has, where you can insert the cell or range of cells with a couple of keystrokes?
Is there some easier way to manage this data on my Macbook? Or did I waste $2000 on this computer? Thanks.

You may have wasted $20 on Numbers? I don't use it - I've been an Excel user since 1985 and it's still what I use today.
If, indeed, there's no shortcut for the procedure that you describe (and we'll have to wait for some Numbers experts to chime in on that) why not just buy MS Office 2011 for Mac? You can get a trial version here -> https://www.microsoft.com/mac/trial.
But, hopefully, a Numbers user will come along with a simple solution...
