Speadsheet links

How can I link specific cells in two different speadsheets so the data from a specific cell in spreadsheet A automatically updates in a specific cell in spreadsheet B. It works in Xcel- Any ideas?

Regarding linking cells in different spreadsheets. The method given in Appleworks help is apparently the only way to do it, but it works only sporadically for me. When trying to enter a cell reference in a spreadsheet, I often have to fiddle with the reference for many minutes, changing this and that, before the spreadsheet accepts it. And when it is accepted, I've no idea why, because the suddenly acceptable version is often the same as the one first entered. So the next link usually requires the same sort of fiddling. All this happens even after I've remembered that any Appleworks document referred to inside the quote marks must have its extension appended, e.g., a document you've named "fred" must be entered as "fred.cwk" And if "fred" is a word-processor document and you're linking to a cell in a spreadsheet frame floating inside it, it's also easy to forget to give the frame a name via the Edit menu. Inconveniently, the Appleworks software doesn't tell you what your mistakes are.
If anyone has experienced my problem and solved it, I'd like to hear about it.

How can I link specific cells in two different tables so the data from a specific cell in table A automatically updates in a specific cell in table B? It works in Xcel- Any ideas?

(1) your title ask the way to link different spreadsheets.
In Numberland, a spreadsheet is an entire document.
There is no way to link different documents.
(2) in the message, you ask the way to link different tables.
This feature is available and is described in iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide (which is available for free from the Help menu).
Getting the info just requires a simple search in this available resource !

How to link Excel tabs so data shows up in one report

I have a huge excel file with 16 tabs (sheets) of data. Each tab has an excel speadsheet filled. I have the data in Crystal. Each tab shows up as a separate table. I've tried to link each in different ways but can only get one table to show up in the report. I want all the data in one report. If that's possible. It would be very large.

Graham,
Thanks for answering,
Yes I have the tables and can link them (have tried a couple of different ways) One has all the data fields linked between tables and the other way was to run them in series with just one field linked. Either way the Field Explorer on the right side of the screen shows each table and each table lists all the fields. But the problem is that the report only shows data from one table, not all the tables or all the data. The data that it shows is only from the table that I selected the fields from.
Hope this makes sense. Thanks

Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form

Is it possible to add new columns with format "Text" once a table is linked to a form in Numbers for iPhone or is it impossible and thus a serious bug?(Rating stars and numeric vales seem to work.)
Those bugs happen both for new speadsheets as well as existing onces, like the demo. When you are in the form only the numeric keyboard shows up.
Pat from the Apple Store Rosenstrasse/Germany approved that it looks like a Bug during the Numbers Workshop I was in: It is not possible to add new columns with format "Text". I reported the error for Version 1.4 but there is no update nor do I get statement of understanding the issue.

Hi Knochenhort,
I see what you are talking about now. Without knowing how the program actually works, I think this is what's going on:
When you add a new column to an already existing table (with already existing formats), the new cells come already formatted like the previous column. So when you add a column to the end of the demo table, the cells are already formatted like stars, and when you add a column to the beginning, they're already formatted like number.
I think this is why it's different when if you add columns to a table with blank (unformatted) columns. In that case, the new cells aren't already "tainted" with a set format, so you can change to text format without issue.
It seems like the problem is that you can't format cells that are already formatted as "number" as "text" format (even if it doesn't look like they are, because they are blank). IMO, this is a bug! This is why you don't see this issue when adding columns to a new table, because the new cells don't already come with a format.
To workaround, you can highlight the body cells after adding the new column, and delete the cells. This will "clear" the formatting, so you can then go in the inspector, format them as text, and the correct keyboard will pop up.
Hope that helps!

Xcelsius 2008 doesn't support excel links?

I'm building a dashboard with Xcelsius 2008 and my Excel sheet which I imported has a number of links to other Excel files - that is how the values are updated, from other Excel sheets. After adding a collumn graph component and setting it up appropriately, no collumns would show in preview mode. I added a speadsheet table component to see what was going on and all values are 0, that is why no collumns are showing. The values do, however, appear in the spreadsheet when in design mode as I wish they would in preview mode. I tried to export it and exporting yields the same results as preview mode.
I'm impressed because Crystal Xcelsius 4.5, which I had been using up to now, supports links in imported Excel files with no problems.
Is there any way to make Xcelsius 2008 honor the values as they should be, rather than setting all values taken from links to 0?
Thank you for your responses.

Hi:
   1. Do you mean, excel embeded another excel file using "Data->Import External Data->Import Data" then choose "excel file"? From my side, i try this scenairo and the chart can present the mapped data properly. (may be my model is to simiple...)
   2. For your excel links, I am not sure where the problem is, but I am suggest that, you can build your standalone excel sheet with excel mapping first, then import the excel file to Xcelsius, in this cases, we can distinguish whether the problem comes from excel feature itself or Xcelisus integration with Excel.
   3. I also think about the cases you are using, may be you have multiple individual spreadsheets, and want to embeded into one excel file which will be used in xcelsius, also, when the data change in the sub excel sheets, the main excel sheets should also be updated accordingly. (Please correct me if there is sth wrong)
   But for excel links you are using, I saw some limitation:
   a) when you open the main excel sheet, the sub excel sheet will be "read only", so that user can not modify the sub sheet at the same time.
   b) when preview, or export to swf file, you can not update the excel links at run time when mapped excel file changes, there is no update option for excel links as far as i know.
   So, to meet the scenario, you can use Data connection feature called "Excel XML Map":
   The detail steps is similar with excel links, the differences is you are going to map xml file to excel range. (if you have already have a number spreedsheet in your hand, you can first save the spread sheet as xml format, then map the xml file to main excel). In this case, when user modify the xml file and save, you can refresh the mian excel file to get the updates at any time, also Xcelsius data connection provide connection called "Excel XML Map" so you can also refresh the maps at preview time and run time.
Hope it helps.

Linking cells in different worksheets

I'm sure this has been asked before, so I apologize. I am working on my Macbook Pro. I need to enter email addresses and phone numbers on different sheets in the same workbook. Is there a way to link the cells so I only have to enter the data once? The cell is 2E on my Financial Summary sheet and 2E on my enrollment sheet, but 4E on my Youth Sheet. I'm sure this is a very entry level question so I apologize! Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Hi cfomalley,
The easiest way to do what you are asking is to type "=" in the cell you want to bring the value into, navigate to the cell you want to bring the value from and click into it. This will work fine if you are not going to do any sorting of the dependent table
Some terms:
Speadsheet, Document, File. These are equivalent. They can contain many Sheets.
A sheet can contain many tables.
If your tables have unique names you do not need to reverence the sheet.
If I want the value in Enrollment Table to be the one the others draw from, then the formula in E4 of YouthTable would be "=Enrollment Table::E2".

How can I insert a spreadsheet containing drop down boxes and links to other spreadsheets into a keynotes slide? Please help :(

How can I insert a spreadsheet containing drop down boxes and links to other spreadsheets into a keynotes slide? Please help
I need to retain all the formula's and the sheets these formulas are linked from.

Have you considered switching out of Keynote and over to your spreadsheet program when you get to this slide? If you launch the speadsheet program before Keynote you can switch using Command-Tab. You can then switch back into Keynote when you are done.
I realize that this is not what you were looking for but I don't think it is possible to do exactly what you want.

Linking 2 Spreadsheets in SharePoint 2010 in the cloud

We have SharePoint 2010 in the Cloud. I am trying to link the cell of 1 spreadsheet to the cell of another spreadsheet.
When attempting to retrieve the UNC by selecting to Open with Explorer, an error comes up stating that it is, "having trouble opening this library in File Explorer."
Is it possible to have the cell of 1 speadsheet reference the cell of another spreadsheet while using SharePoint in the cloud?
Doug White

Hi,
A workaround is that we can use the Managed Client Object Model with the Open XML SDK 2.0 to update the two Spreadsheets from client side:

Or you can also use the Excel Services REST API to Access Excel Data:

Feel free to reply if there are still any questions.
Thanks

Download error in (osx) adobe desktop app (corrupted download link).

Here is a discription of the problem. Please consider that some of the wording might not be correct, as I do have to translate the error message from German into English.
Using OSX 10.9.2, when clicking inside the adobe desktop app (top of the screen bar) on the tap "apps", the following screen (screenshot) appears, which states, translated from top to bottom:
download error
download error. Please contact support.
(link) contact support
(link/button) download creative cloud -> This button unfortunatly leads to the following error page "http://www.adobe.com/special/errorpages/404.html"
All apps, like Bridge, Photoshop, Lightroom, etc. are installed and work just fine. So no problem here. I seem however unable to redownload the desktop app (in order to reinstall). As stated above the provided link inside the desktop app itself is coruppted and within the (online) web-based download centre (user logged in) I am only adviced to use the desktop app. This is a dead end and I do not know what to make of this error, let alone solving it. Please help!

I am sorry Romsinha but this doesn't really help.
I already restarted the desktop app and while I am obviously online and connected the problem (error message) remains the same. Information within the "home" tap is recieved/loaded (little blue spinning wheel) stating that various apps recently have been updated. Yet the same loading wheel within the "apps" tap results in an error. My best guess is that some internal link within the app is corrupted, leading to a source on a server that can not be reached.
UPDATE
I clean uninstalled adobe creative cloud as discribed in the article you provided (using the cleaner tool) and even uninstalled the browser plugin. After downloading and reinstalling creative cloud the problem however remains the same. "Apps" tap still shows the same problem. "Home" tap now displays the following:

Barra de Navegação cinza e preta encobrindo o link, como resolver?

Instalei o Kubuntu 14.04 e, após a atualização do sistema, na barra de navegação do Firefox os links ficam encobertos pelas cores cina e preto, impedindo a leitura e atrapalhando a navegação.
Mudei o esquema de cores padrão do sistema, e alterei o tema Gtk mas não resolveu.
Desinstalei e reinstalei o Firefox mas o problema persiste.
O que pode ser feito?

Hmmm,
# Na [[Location bar autocomplete|barra de endereços]], escreva '''about:config''' e pressione '''Enter'''. É possível que o aviso ''''Isso pode anular a garantia!'''' apareça.
# Clique no botão '''Serei cuidadoso, prometo!''', para acessar a página about:config.
# Procure por '''gfx.xrender.enabled''' e mude seu valor para '''false'''.
# Reinicie o Firefox.
Ou tente user o Tema [https://addons.mozilla.org/pt-br/firefox/addon/fxchrome/ FXChrome]

Links not getting displayed in the contextual panel

Hi,
I have created a contextual panel inside a transparent container. And created a method in the same view supply_values of type supply function to supply the values to the panel.Inside the method I have coded like:
DATA TAB TYPE WD_THIS->ELEMENTS_N_VIEW_SWITCH.
DATA LINE TYPE WD_THIS->ELEMENT_N_VIEW_SWITCH.
LINE-TEXT = 'User Manual'. "#EC NOTEXT
LINE-ENABLED = ABAP_TRUE.
APPEND LINE TO TAB.
LINE-TEXT = 'Logout'. "#EC NOTEXT
LINE-ENABLED = ABAP_TRUE.
APPEND LINE TO TAB.
NODE->BIND_TABLE( TAB ).
Also in the context of the view I have created a node and supplied the method 'supply_values' in the supply function.Under the node I have 2 attributes named text and enabled. Text is of string type and enabled is of boolean type. In the properties of the contextual panel I have bound the visible property with the enabled attribute.
Now when I am running this application , links are not getting displayed in the contextual panel. Though when I debug TAB contains the values. Please suggest if I have missed out something or I need to look into the properties of the contextual panel. Any pointers will be really helpful.
Regards,
Ashutosh

Hi,
Can you elaborate ' ItemEnable property of ViewSwitch'.
I have already bound the enable property of the panel with a context attribute of type wdy_boolean but it is still not working.

Links default to wrong folder

Why is it when I go to relink a placed image in the Links pallette it always directs me to the wrong folder (not the one the image lives in but elsewhere). I believe that it is taken me to the last folder I navigated to. thoughts?

You now have a prefernce for where relink goes, the last folder you used to link, or the folder where the original link resides. It's in the prefs.

You've probably found an answer to this by now, but I think this has been addressed in another forum -- The link below suggested using a button and adding the tooltip to the button.

Sounds like it would work but I haven't actually tried it.
Good luck~!

Auto-generated links exported from InDesign do not work in tablet apps

Hyperlinks automatically detected and exported from InDesign CS6 8.0.1 as a PDF work fine on the desktop version of Acrobat Reader. However, on the iPad version of Adobe Reader as well as iBooks and GoodReader, these links are completely ignored, meaning they are just text.
On the other hand, if I was to manually set the hyperlink in InDesign or Acrobat, the link works fine.
It would be extremely tedious and time consuming to manually reset hundreds of hyperlinks in my documents since InDesign use to handle this correctly.
Is this a bug? If so, it's pretty serious and should be Adobe's priority to fix since millions of people read documents on tablet devices.

No, it's a Feature of Acrobat and reader that they attempt to create links from anything that "looks like" a URL. Other readers lack the feature.
It's not good practice to depend on this in any case as it's hardly foolproof even in Acrobat. Links that break across lines, for example, will not be properly recognized.

How to link excel workbooks in Sharepoint?

I have a master Excel spreadsheet and other sub excel spreadsheets (all on Sharepoint) that are linked to each other (copied data from one and pasted link to other) so that the Master spreadsheet auto-updates every time a sub document is modified. This
format works if the documents are hosted on my computer, however, the links become broken if they are hosted on Sharepoint and I get a #REF! message. My goal is to have a master document that is linked to data of other sub spreadsheets and auto-updates when
they are modified without having to open the sub spreadsheets. I would like to be able to open the master document, refresh it, and have the current data pulled from the linked sub spreadsheets. Any suggestions on how I can do this?

I have seen this working for some folks in my company. They moved their spreadsheets into SharePoint, and changed the references to other spreadsheets from file paths to be the urls of the items in SharePoint.
