Sorting Sheets within a Spreadsheet

Does Numbers offer a way to sort my sheets, or tabs, within a file, either numerically or alphabetically? something other than dragging them into their order.
thanks
jeff

Hi Jeff,
Numbers doesn't, no. There may be those on this forum that cold craft an Applescript to do the job. It is beyond me at this point.

How to do a graph on a new sheet within a spreadsheet?

I created a spreadsheet in order to keep track of players stats for our basketball organization.
Is it possible to create a graph within a spreadsheet and have it take the overall averages from each individual sheet?
Attached is a snap shot of the spreadsheet.

Yes. Simply create a table that collects the data from the individual sheets and base your chart on that table. You can put the collection table on a seperate sheet, out of the way. The chart and table do not have to be on the same sheet.

Email / share individual sheet within a spreadsheet doc?

Is it possible to email (share) an individual sheet within an inumbers document? I use inumbers to make daily job logs that must be emailed everyday and it is very annoying to have to copy and paste each sheet into another document and then have to change the name every time before I can email them. Are there any other options?

How can I create a second sheet within a tab?

How can I create a second sheet within a tab? I have tried to add another table but it shows up on top of the existing table. I want to have two sheets or tables within one tab so I can further sort and categorize within a section. Is this possible? Thanks for all the help!

You can insert a new table on the View Responses Tab with
Insert > Table
You can also insert a new sheet with a new table with
Insert > Sheet
You can drag and drop the table if it does overlap with another table. Just select the table you want to move and drag the top-left corner of the table to move it.
Hope this helps

Duplicate a sheet in a spreadsheet?

How do you duplicate a sheet within the same spreadsheet and then renaming it? Is very easy with MS but can't figure it out in numbers....

Right click on the sheet tab, choose Duplicate from the menu that pops up. Click on the name in the tab to edit it.

How can I make a row of cells containing 3-digit decimals, who's values resulted from calculations within the spreadsheet, appear as durations of minutes and seconds?

Row 6 in this spreadsheet is the result of Row 2/Row 3 as evidenced by the formula listed while Cell Y6 selected. How can I make the values in this row appear as durations of minutes and seconds rather than 3-digit decimals? For example, rather than appearing as 9.84 I would like the value of Cell Y6 to appear as 9:50 or 9min 50sec. (obviously .84x60seconds 50 seconds). I tried changing the cell formats from "number" to "duration," but no change is made. Using the "duration" format does however work if I am manually entering the decimal value into the cell rather than allowing it to result from another caluclation within the spreadsheet. Is there a solution to this within Numbers '09? You can see why I would want the "pace" displayed in minutes and seconds. Thanks in advance!

Hi Ryan,
You wrote:
"The problem is that my "Distance" is a row of automatically generated values resulting from ((Row1/60)*Row 6). Changing the format of Row 1 to minutes causes row two to be expressed as a duration, which obviously it shouldn't because it is a distance. The spreadsheet has to be designed so that all I have to manually input on each entry are Row 1 Values (Time) and Row 6 Values (Average Pace). The rest of the cells must be automatically poulated as a result of formulas."
I'm assuming that where you say "Row 1" in this you mean "Row 2", which is labeled "Time" in the example in the OP.
In the original post, you presented a formula from cell Y6. Replacing the Header labels in that formula's cell reference with the Addresses of the referenced cells, the formula was:
Y6: =Y2/Y3
In this post, you are saying that Y6 contains entered data: "...all I have to manually input on each entry are Row 1 Values (Time) and Row 6 Values (Average Pace).
Which is correct?

Barry

How do I duplicate sheets within a Numbers file on iCloud?

I need to create several sheets within a Numbers file within the iCloud iWork portal. I can create a new sheet by clicking the plus button but that just gives me an additional blank sheet. I've attempted to copy the sheets by pressing highlighting all data in the first sheet and copy and pasting it into the newly created blank sheet but the way the pasting transfers over is mumbled and disorganized. The font is even styled differently too. Is this possible yet?

After creating a new sheet with a default table but before pasting the data, press Command-A and hit Delete. You now have a completely blank sheet. Now press Command-V to paste the new table.
Alternatively, after pasting the new table it will be at the front. Select (say) cell A1, and then click on the Table Select icon (nine dots at the top-left). At this point you have the new table selected. Then click on the Arrange tab and click on Back to send the new table behind the default table. Now reselect cell A1 and then the Table Select icon again. Now you have the default table selected and can press Delete.

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

How can I sort photos within an event? When I follow the Help instructions, I can sort manually in Photo format, but when I return to Event format, the original order is restored.

Events are organisation for those who can't really be bothered. They are automatic - based entirely on Date and Time the camera records the photos as taken.
You can move photos between Events, you can Merge Events, you can Rename them and sort them in various ways except one: You cannot manually sort in an Event as Events are all automated.
If you want to manually sort in an Event then you've outgrown Events as an organising tool. Now it's time to look at albums (Where you can manually sort) which are much more flexible than Events as an organising tool.

IPhoto: How can I sort photos within an event? I can't figure out how to activate the Manual Sort.

iPhoto: How can I sort photos within an event. I can't figure out how to activate the Manual Sort button.

Only albums can be sorted manually. Events can only be sorted automatically according to one of the predefined settings "Date, Keywords, Title, Rating".
If you need a manual sort order, selectaall photos in the event and create an album: File > New Album

Sorting photos within an event

I'm trying to find a way to rearrange my photos within an event. According to the instructions in help:
Sort photos within Events (but not the Events themselves): Select Photos in the Source list, choose View > Event Titles, and then choose View > Sort Photos.
Trouble is, when I try to choose Event titles, it is grayed out. If I go to the event and then select view>sort photos, manually is grayed out and by date and desending are checked.
Anyone have a suggestion.

Did you read the answer?
Events are a very limited form of organising. They are sorted on date and time only. If you want more flexibility then you need to use Albums, where there a virtually no limitations.
That is the answer! You can not sort photos within events.

Hyperlinks to specific sheets within Excel doc - full path?

Hi,
I hope someone can help me, I've been pulling my hair out on this one...
I'm trying to set up a hyperlink in Indesign, to link to a specific sheet in one Excel file. I don't want to import the excel file within indesign, I just want that file to open in Excel when the link is clicked on in the final exported PDF. Well I've managed to link to the general Excel file, but not to one of the specific sheets within that file...
Also, the final pdf and the Excel doc will be sent out via email - when I create the hyperlink, Indesign wants the complete/absolute file path to the external doc, how will that work when I send it out by email. Will the link work for the third party?
A huge thank you to anyone who can point me in the good direction....
:-) Sarah.

If the Excel file resides on the web, you can use:
http://url-path/workbook.xls#sheetName!a1
The default action in Excel is to open with the last active cell. So the a1 at the end positions the view to the top left. You can also open to named sections.
Also, keep the filename.xls and sheet names without spaces. However, for a sheet name with a space, enclose it in single quote marks like 'Sheet Name'
Take care, Mike

Sorting manually within film roll view

is there any way to sort my photos manually (move them around in prefered order) within the film roll view?
just started using the film roll view. and i love it, all exept that it will only sort by date and i can not move photos around with in the fill roll. only thing i've figured out is to change the date/time manually for each photo. that's a lot of extra work. any way around it?

[email protected]:
Welcome to the Apple Discussions. You can't sort manually within a roll. You can within Albums or in the entire library with Rolls tuned off.
NOTE: It's not wise to use your email address either as your alias or placed in any post. Spammers sweep thru forums like this to harvest any email addresses to use. Since you only have a couple of posts I suggest you create a new account with a different alias and let this one die on the vine. You cannot change the alias of an account. The software isn't setup for it.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.

Sorting songs within an album

I am hoping to get some help on sorting.
Within my I-Tunes library I have the albums sorted the way I like. However, within an album I cannot seem to control the order in which the individual music tracks appear.
For example, I have merged the selections from 2 separate CDs into a single album. When I do that the tracks (1-12) from Disc 2 are listed ahead of the tracks (1-12) from Disc 1. I've tried adjusted one/both of the track numbers/disc numbers for the discs but this did not impact the order in which the tracks appeared.
Does anyone have a solution on how to control the order?

See Grouping tracks into albums for more details, in particular the topic One cover for multi-disc album.

One sheet in Numbers spreadsheet on iPad

Creating a link to another sheet within the same file in Numbers

I have a spreadsheet in Numbers that contains many detail sheets with a seperate Summary sheet.
I want to be able to click on an entry (within a cell) in the summary sheet and (just like a hyperlink) it take me to the detail sheet of that name.
There is a hyperlink option within the Inspector, but it is only to goto a url or email message.
Can anyone help, or is this a request I should make for the next version?

New features means new high version num.
Version 1 for instance was updated as version 1.0.2 then 1.0.3
At this time we just got the upgrade to version 2
Some day we will get an update to version 2.0.2 with oddities corrections.
Maybe later we will get an update to version 2.0.3 with other corrections.
For new features we will have to wait for the upgrade to version 3 included in what I named NiWork '10.
