Sorting emails by columns and moving to specific letter finds letter in different column

I am running Mail (v 4.5) on a MacBook Pro 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo with Snow Leopard 10.6.7.
Issue: In Mail, if I sort the list of emails in the Inbox by Date it goes correctly from Most Recent to oldest. If I press a number to get to the month, the list goes to the first email it finds with that number at the beginning of the Subject line. It doesn't change the sort however. If I click on the From header to sort by that field and type a letter for the first letter of the Sender's name, I likewise go to the first corresponding letter in the Subject field. If I click on the Subject header to sort by that and then type a letter to find subjects beginning with that letter, it goes to the first corresponding letter in the From column. If I press the letter again, it goes to another selection.
If one sorts by From and press the letter N, then one should move to a point in the list at the beginning of senders beginning with the letter N with the list ordered alphabetically by Sender.
Is there no resolution planned from Apple to this issue.? I have found posts relating to it (see below) going back several years.
I have searched for a solution to this issue but only find an archived discussion regarding this at the following url. It has only 6 posts with over 1500 views; but I don't see a resolution.
https://discussions.apple.com/message/11879483#11879483

Mail doesn't just search the column you have selected when you type. It searches everywhere. If you want to search for emails from Ned, then type 'ned.'
If you want to restrict the search to From, To, or Subject, use the search field.
I don't imagine Apple will change the way this works, but you can provide feedback on Mail in the Mail menu.

How do I sum selected entries (currency) in one column based on criteria (specific text) set from a different column?

Disclaimer: I'm not a computer guy but I can be taught!
I am tracking a checking account for a church ministry. I have one table that holds the line items and the amounts budgeted for each item. I want to add a column to that table that shows the actual amount spent for that line item. The reference will come from the second table that contains that actual data. I have a column that has a dropdown list to select the budget line item and a column that holds the actual amount spent for that transaction. I want to auto sum the selected currency values based on the selection criteria of the certain budget line item and display it in the first table.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi wcanerday,
Thanks for the green tick and your feedback. Yes, the SUMIF function is powerful!
When you adapt the Personal Budget template, make sure that the items in the Category Column (A) on the Budget sheet exactly match the items in the Pop-Up Menus in Column C of the Transactions sheet.
Editing a Pop-Up Menu in Numbers 3 is easy. Please call back if you need more help.

You most likely did not change the password in the outgoing mail server section of your email account.
Go to Settings > Mail, Contact, Calendars > your email account > Advanced > Outgoing Mail Server
Re enter the correct user name and password in the outgoing Mail server section even though it may say that these are optional.

How can I lookup text values in a column and display a list of corresponding names from another column, sorted by values?

My spreadsheet looks like this:
          Monday     Tuesday     Wednesday
Name 1     OFF          4:30 PM     4:30 PM
Name 2     5 PM     OFF          4:30 PM
Name 3     4:30 PM     5 PM     OFF
Name 4     4 PM     OFF          OFF
I would like to create a spreadsheet for each day that will display the values sorted by time, as follows (e.g. Monday):
Name     In Time
Name 4     4 PM
Name 3     4:30 PM
Name 2     5 PM
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Here's an example, using the provided data:
I've set the alignment on Main to Automatic (except for row 1) to distinguish between numeric and quasi numeric values (aligned right) and text (aligned left). This is a visual aid to developing the table, and would likely be changed for appearance in the end version.
Columns E, F and G of Main are index columns listing the RANK of numeric/date and time values in columns A, B and C respectively. Text values cause RANK to throw an error, which is caught by IFERROR, which returns a value of 999, chosen to be well above any of the RANK values returned. A small amount ( ROW()/100000 ) is added to each result to prevent duplicate results is cases like column D, where duplicate times appear.
Formula: Main::E2: =IFERROR(RANK(B2,B,1),999)+ROW()/100000
Fill down the column, and right to column G.
These columns may be hidden.
The three daily columns use a single formula each, revised to match the index columns from which they determine the row containing each piece of data to be copied, and to match the columns from which they retrieve that data. The formulas from row 2 of these tables are listed here in the order (left to right) that they are used in the second row of tables above. Parts that are edited from one formula to another are shown in bold.
=IF(SMALL(Main :: $E,ROW()-1)>999,"",OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH(SMALL(Main::$E,ROW()-1),Main :: $E,0)-1,0))
=IF(SMALL(Main :: $E,ROW()-1)>999,"",OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH(SMALL(Main::$E,ROW()-1),Main :: $E,0)-1,1))
=IF(SMALL(Main :: $F,ROW()-1)>999,"",OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH(SMALL(Main::$F,ROW()-1),Main :: $F,0)-1,0))
=IF(SMALL(Main :: $F,ROW()-1)>999,"",OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH(SMALL(Main::$F,ROW()-1),Main :: $F,0)-1,2))
=IF(SMALL(Main :: $G,ROW()-1)>999,"",OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH(SMALL(Main::$G,ROW()-1),Main :: $G,0)-1,0))
=IF(SMALL(Main :: $G,ROW()-1)>999,"",OFFSET(Main :: $A$1,MATCH(SMALL(Main::$G,ROW()-1),Main :: $G,0)-1,3))
Each of the formulas is filled down its column.
Each of the functions used is described in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide, a useful resource to have on hand when you are writing (or attempting to 'decode') Numbers formulas, The guide (and the Numbers '09 User Guide) may be downloaded from the Help menu in Numbers '09.

Sales Amount from one column of period (FY-2012, FY-2013) to 2 different columns

Hi dudes,
I'm having some difficulties in getting the Sales Amount from one column of period (Fiscal Year containing 2012 and 2013) and put it into 2 different columns (Sales 2012 and Sales 2013. I have 3 fields in my dataset: Sales (for all the years), Fiscal
Year (more than 5 years) and month (which I can neglect).
For the moment, my situation is as follows:
Fiscal Year          Month
Sales
2012                      Jan           $72,500
                               Feb          $80,200
                               Dec          $79,500
2013                      Jan           $51,000
                               Feb          $62,800
                               Dec          $85,000
However I would like to get a scenario as follows:
    Month
Sales 2012          Sales 2013
     Jan              $72,500                  $51,000
     Feb             $80,200                   $62,800
     Dec           $79,500                   $85,000
Once I have this, I would be much easier for me to do the difference between the two sales period.
Is there any expression I can use?
I tried to filter from the Group properties the sales amount for Fiscal Year 2012 on 1 column, and on on another column, the sales amount for Fiscal Year 2013 but it is giving me the same values.
Thank you very much dudes.

Hi Stan,
According to your description, we can use a matrix control to achieve your requirement. For more details, please refer to the following steps:
Drag a matrix from Toolbox to design surface.
Insert Month field to the first column.
Insert Fiscal_Year field to the first row of the second column.
Insert Sales field to the second row of the second column.
Right-click the second column to add a column with Outside Group-Right option.
Type the expression below to the second row of the third column:
=sum(iif(Fields!Fiscal_Year.Value=‘2012’,CDbl(Fields!Sales.Value),CDbl(0)))-sum(iif(Fields!Fiscal_Year.Value=‘2013’,CDbl(Fields!Sales.Value),CDbl(0)))

Hi Shawn,
I think this will do it for you:
There's an auxiliary column in your data entry table. It counts the entries for each distinct time.
The formula in the auxiliary column's body rows is:
=COUNTIF(OFFSET(B$1, 0,0,ROW()), B)&"--"&B
The formula in the Summary table's body rows is:
=IFERROR(OFFSET(Schedule::$A$1, MATCH(ROW()-1&"--"&A$1, Schedule :: $C, 0)-1, 0), "")

When i connect my mac book pro to an external display using a VGA cable and adaptor, the external display splits into several different columns of the same screen overlapping one another. Does anybody have any ideas as to why this happens?

I have used different VGA to mini port adaptors, different VGA cables and connected them to different external monitors and prjectors but the same thing happens. I am starting to think there may be a problem with the macbook itself however, when i have used a HDMI lead and adaptor to external monitors the external display is fine.

Table event listener for both columns and rows

My table listener only gives me the printed values when I click on different rows and not when I click on different columns. Do I need 2 listeners (one inside the other one) to get a change recorded each time I click on a cell in the table? Here is the listener code:
      ListSelectionModel rowSM1 = jTable1.getSelectionModel();
      rowSM1.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
        public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
          System.out.println("I am here");
          ListSelectionModel lsm = (ListSelectionModel)e.getSource();
          if (e.getValueIsAdjusting()) {
            return;
          if (lsm.isSelectionEmpty()) {
            //no rows are selected
          else {
            selectedSiteRow = new Integer(lsm.getMinSelectionIndex() + 1).toString();
            System.out.println("selectedSiteRow = " + selectedSiteRow);
            SetupNum = selectedSiteRow; // row that the user selected
            ObjectNum = "1";
            objnum = "1";
            dataModels.remove("O"); // remove the object tables from the dataModels hashtable
            dataModels.remove("P"); // remove the object tables from the dataModels hashtable
            for (int i = 0; i < wholefile.size(); i++) {
              setupnum = selectedSiteRow;
              if (wholefile.elementAt(i).toString().charAt(0) == 'O') {
                processLine(wholefile.elementAt(i).toString(), columnNamesO);
                String keyO = "O";
                DefaultTableModel modelO = (DefaultTableModel)dataModels.get(keyO);
                jTable2.setModel(modelO); // change the table to the new table model
              if (wholefile.elementAt(i).toString().charAt(0) == 'P') {
                processLine(wholefile.elementAt(i).toString(), columnNamesP);
                String keyP = "P";
                DefaultTableModel modelP = (DefaultTableModel)dataModels.get(keyP);
                jTable3.setModel(modelP); // change the table to the new table model
    );The words "I am here" only appear when I click on rows and not when I click on columns of that same row. Anyone know why?
Also, each time I click on a row, "I am here" appears 2 times. I know I read that someone else had that problem. I will try to find the solution to that one in the forum.
Thanks.
Allyson

I found out how to get the column, but I can't seem to get them together. Here is the listener for the column:
      ListSelectionModel colSM1 = jTable1.getColumnModel().getSelectionModel();
      colSM1.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
        public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent e) {
          if (e.getValueIsAdjusting()) {
            return;
          ListSelectionModel lsm = (ListSelectionModel)e.getSource();
          if (lsm.isSelectionEmpty()) {
            //no columns are selected
          else {
            SelectedC = lsm.getMinSelectionIndex();
      });These are 2 different listeners and I really want to find out what row,column has changed. Is there any way to combine these somehow? Thanks.

2 date columns and one dimension hierarchy

Hi,
I have one question in OBIEE 10g.
I have one dimension table with 2 date columns (insertedOn, updatedOn)
I created insertedOnYear, insertedOnMonth and updatedOnYear, updatedOnMonth columns from my date columns.
I have hierarchy
Year -> Month -> Day for that dimension table
and I would like to dril down both columns insertedOnYear and updatedOnYear
insertedOnYear -> insertedOnMonth -> insertedOn
updatedOnYear-> updatedOnMonth -> updatedOn
I am able to do it only for one of these columns and not for both.
I can place both columns to appropriate levels, but drilling doesn´t work as I want
Can you tell me how to solve my problem?

Oops, I was talking about 11G. Ok no problem. Do this. In the physical layer, cretea 2 alias tables. Both pointing to the table where you have these 2 fields. The put everything in your BMM. There create the 2 hierarchies using the 2 different tables (that will point to the 2 alias tables create in the physical layer). This will make them unique.

Filename seperately & Putting data from Hash Map to two different columns

The following code produces the output as :
$ java getNamefile
File Name : reaper.txt
File Name : Testing
Is it possible to just get the file name "reaper" from it instead of reaper.txt
import java.io.*;
class getNamefile
     public static void main(String[] args)
          File f1 = new File("C:/javamyprograms/reaper.txt");
          File f2 = new File("C:/javamyprograms/Testing/");
          System.out.println("File Name : " + f1.getName());
          System.out.println("File Name : " + f2.getName());
}Secondly I am trying to put the values from a HashMap into ".xls"
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter (new FileWriter("Unique_words_count" + file) + ".xls");
and out.write(key + " " + hm.get(key));
This put the values in the same columns. I want the results to be two different columns like
column1 column2
key1 value1
key2 value2
Please do advise. Thanks in advance.

Is it possible to just get the file name "reaper"from it instead of reaper.txtActually, I ran a test, and
     System.out.println( "file name portion == " + ( f.getName().split( "\\." ) )[ 0 ] );works also:
This has the same effect as:
     String fileName = f.getName();
     String splitFileName[] = fileName.split( "\\." );
     System.out.println( "file name portion == " + splitFileName[ 0 ] );Now that I think about it, the second form is more easily understood. There is really no reason to do it the first way. Just interesting to note that you can.

Finding correlation using derived columns?

I want to use the aggregate CORR_S function which take two numerical columns and output the correlation between them. Assuming I have the table:
Employee(name, gender, salary) where I want to create two derived columns, how would I do it?
Like,
SELECT CORR_S(
SELECT salary
FROM employees
WHERE salary < 10000,
SELECT salary
FROM employees
WHERE salary > 10000
) as correlation
FROM employees
It will find the correlation between salary's less than $10,000 in one column and salary's more than $10,000 in another column. Of course, I get an error when running the query. It's no problem if I use CORR_S(salary, salary) but I want to use derived columns, is it possible? Or, will I need to create a new table view with two new columns CORR_S(lowSalary, highSalary)?
Thanks.

It may be correct sql query, but statistically ( i mean here the OP question, or at least how i interpret it) it is nonsense.
Clearly , correlation show how good distribution of one set of items corresponds to another set, so the order of item in the itemset does matter. Consider
SQL> WITH t AS (
2          SELECT 1 id1, 10 id2, 30 id3 FROM dual UNION ALL
3          SELECT 2 , 20 , 10 FROM dual UNION ALL
4          SELECT 3 , 30 , 20 FROM dual )
5 SELECT corr_s(id1,id2), corr_s(id1,id3)
6 FROM t
7 /
CORR_S(ID1,ID2) CORR_S(ID1,ID3)
              1             -.5So, it would make sense to calculate correlation between salary and hiredate, salary and department number, salary and employee name's length, whatever, but how can be correlated salary less 10k to salary more than 10k - i can't understand it. They are not in the same set, but in two different sets ( while one can have either more 10k or less 10k, but not both) and relation between these two sets is not given by OP.
Best regards
Maxim

How to find differences between two columns

Hello I need the formula to spot differences between two columns and to write on a third one if the same name appear on the two columns.
For example:
rome berlin true
berlin moscow false
chicago toronto true
toronto chicago true
florence
Thanks
Lorenzo

You should be able to use COUNTIF where the range is th first column and the condition is the word in the second column. If the result is greater than zero then the word is in both columns.

How do you sort specific columns and freeze a header column?

I'm creating a list of people attending a workshop and would like the first column to be the number of people attending. The first column is the number and that row sorts with the rest, so then my numbers go 1, 9, 5, etc instead of remaining 1-20. Is there a different way for me to determing the number? I put 1 in cell A 2 and then for A 3 I give it a formula A1 + 1 to create the number sequence. I've tried making it a header column and freezing the column, but it still changes.
thanks,
Nancy

Nancy,
You can search the discussions when you have a specific question, or you can just browse them from time to time to see what there is to be learned. Your question is a little like "How did you learn to be a good cook?" Most of the good home cooks never went to cooking school, but they have had lots of good coaching and lots of experience. Many of the helpers here have been using spreadsheets for so long that they don't remember when they learned a particular trick or method. And, we like to share, so keep the questions coming.
I keep the Formula Browser in view, and I study the examples for the functions I think I might want to use.

Jerry

Selecting and moving many messages not working - try sorting by message classes

I posted this a while back, and have an update now.
I file my sent items. Call me crazy, but I like to at the end of every quarter, move sent items from that quarter into sub folders. It's usually 2-4000 items, and ever since I installed OL2010, I have had weird issues when trying to clean my Sent items.
Example: Select 2000 items, sorted by date from Sent Items. Drag and drop to my 2009Q4 folder. It then prompts me "Creating a new item from the selected items could take some time. Are you sure you want to create a new item from these 2000 items?"
So I figured possible Ctrl is stuck down or something, so I right click, Move, select the folder. Same issue.
I start selecting smaller data sets. I got to about 50-60 items at a time that I was able to move and not get that message. I got frustrated and stopped working on it.
This morning, I decided to re-test this. Same issue presents itself. So instead, I sorted by message class. I was able to select 3800 message items. The remaining items were messages with attachments, text/mobile messages, and calendar invite responses.
It appears that some combination of selecting multiple message classes was triggering my issue. I suspect the newest of them, the mobile messages to be the issue, so I deleted them, and retried, nope, same error, even selecting only the show message class types. Would like to see this fixed, of course, and will be sending a frown with the link to this thread as well.
Chris

I had this problem too. For me, simply sorting by message class, then finding all the calendar items and moving them first, then going back and doing the rest, allowed me to move them as I liked.   However, its not clear to me that I have
all message classes (not sure what they all are), so it could be there are other message classes that cause problems when you move "mixed classes".   I do think this is an MS Outlook bug, but not clear anyone has reported it to MS. ;-<
You can prove this by simply selecting a calendar item and a msg, and try moving the two. You will have this issue.
However, you'd think that MS itself would be a vast user of MS Outlook and if we're discovering this, you'd think MS internal folks are too, so I'm deferring to them to self-resolve.   Until then, I'll just use this workaround.
Definition of "Message classes" for others reading this... You may have already inferred, but two examples of "classes" are a normal email (.msg) and a calendar item. You can sort these by clicking on the "icon" field at the top of your email
folder, just to the right of the "bell" (Reminders).   Not sure how to put a .JPG in this posting, since a picture would explain this much better than I can using words.
