Splitting a Cell

Hi... I'd like to split a cell after a designated amount of characters but dont want it to break a word.
So for instance if cell A1 contained:
Put these events in order of occurrence, starting with the earliest.
But I want to split it to lines with a maximum character length of 32 (but dont want a word to break at the end of the line), if I insert =LEFT(A1,32) then I get
Put these events in order of occ
Is there any way to check for the space before the word at which the line break occurs or am I screwed?
Thanks for any help!

This may work better:
Type your string in A1
A2=LEFT(D2, 32-C2)
B2 contains 1
C2=IFERROR(MATCH(" ", E2:AH2, 0), 0)
D2=MID($A$1, SUM($B$2:B2)+1, 32)
E2=IFERROR(MID($D2, LEN($D2)-(COLUMN()-5), 1), "")
select E2 and fill to the right through AJ2
now select C2 through AJ2 and fill down as needed
B3=LEN(A2)+1
select B3 and fill down
now select A2 and fill down
A2 through A4 will contain the broekn up string

  • Adjusting Column After Splitting a Cell

    Hello,
    I am new with Pages and am amazingly impressed with all that it does. Perhaps I am pushiing it a bit too far but when I split a cell into two cells I am not able to adjust the size of any of the two cells. Is this normal?
    Thanks in advance.

    Thanks. Here is what I have done:
    I created an ordinary table and then merged two cells of two columns together for formatting purposes. Down the road I decided I didn't want them merged and so I splitted that merged cell into two cells, and it worked. It is these two new cells that I cannot resize.
    I can't attach the file so I am attaching a snapshot of it to this message.
    Thanks for the replies.

  • Is splitting a cell now gone???

    Such a basic function. There appears to be absolutely no way to split a cell in the new iWork.

    such a basic function and an easy function to keep.
    As far as I can tell, as Jerry points out, splitting and merging are recipe for trouble, even on Numbers 2.3. Sorting and filtering can become a nightmare.
    Since there are other ways to achieve the same display effect as splitting and merging, I'm happy to see that splitting, at least, is gone.
    I'd rather have sorting work right, which perhaps is an even more basic spreadsheet function.

    Hi,
    Better to use 2 Templates.
    Eg :
    Total Width -
    120 MM.
    Then Create first template with following measurements.
    Width                         80      CM
    Horizontal Alignment   left   0.50   MM
    Vertical Alignment
    Here u can mention Height width of the cells
    Next create another template.
    Width                         40      CM
    Horizontal Alignment   left  85   MM
    Vertical Alignment
    here also u can mention the height and width for two line types.(this for split the box horizontally)

  • Export splits 1 cell into several

    hi
    I would like to export the results of the query:

    when i run the query, the result looks ok, i.e. each row is separate
    when i export this , the content of the views gets splitted into different rows;

    is this possible?
    thanks in advance for any tips!

    hi
    thanks for your answer; however this format still splits the cell into many rows;
    however i tried one by one every single format in this export and the following one keeps the data in 1 cell:

  • Possible to split a cell? numbers v3.1

    Is it possible to split a cell in Numbers 3.1? Thank you for your help.

    NO, there is no split cell function.  You can do what you want, which I think is you want one row to have a column that is split, like this:
    To do this:
    create a table with two rows:
    Now select two adjacent cells in the same row and merge them:
    Now select the first row and duplicate by using the <option> + <up arrow> key combination:
    To add rows below the row with the merged cells, select the row with the merged cell, then copy
    now select a row that is earlier and paste,
    you can delete the row with the merged cell at the end
    or you can select a row without a merged cell, copy, then paste over one that has a merged cell.
    WARNING: you should know that all kinds of undesireable things happen with merged cells.

  • Split Single Cell Value to Multiple Rows

    Uses: Oracle 9i;
    There is this restriction in our country, where an individual cheque value can not exceed Rs. 100,000,000. We organize our Payment list for a settlement date and the sample data table looks like this:
    PaymentID | AccountID | PaymentMode | PaymentDate | PaymentValue
    =============================================
    p1,ac1,cheque,01-Dec-2009,99,000;
    p2,ac2,cheque,01-Dec-2009,789,772,984;
    p3,ac3,cheque,01-Dec-2009,433,941,200;
    p4,ac4,cheque,02-Dec-2009,199,900;
    ( row values are separated by commas )
    ii.e Row No. 3 has a payment value of 433,941,200, so splitting them into 100 million blocks will need to create the following separate payments:
    100,000,000
    100,000,000
    100,000,000
    100,000,000
    33,941,200
    and will be inserted into the same table having different paymentID's. Is there anyway of solving the via SQL?

    Hi,
    You can do that by joining your table to a Counter Table that counts from 1 to the greatest number of checks needed.
    This should give you some ideas:
    VARIABLE  MaxPerCheck     NUMBER
    EXEC  :MaxPerCheck := 1e8;
    WITH     cntr     AS
         SELECT     LEVEL                    AS n
         ,     (LEVEL - 1) * :MaxPerCheck     AS LowAmount
         FROM     dual
         CONNECT BY LEVEL <= CEIL ( ( SELECT  MAX (PaymentValue)
                             FROM    table_x
                         / :MaxPerCheck
    SELECT    x.PaymentID
    ,       x.PaymentValue
    ,       c.n
    ,       LEAST ( x.PaymentValue - c.LowAmount
              , :MaxPerCheck
              )     AS CheckAmount
    FROM       table_x     x
    JOIN       cntr     c     ON     x.PaymentValue     > c.LowAmount
    ORDER BY  x.PaymentID
    ,       c.n
    ;if you'd like to post CREATE TABLE and INSERT statements for your sample data, then I could test this.

  • Spry menu bar changed since I tried to split cells in a table! Help!

    I am VERY new to web design, so I apologize in advance for being ignorant.  I am trying to learn!
    I had inserted a spry menu bar that looked fine and even tested fine!
    I subsequently tried to split a section of my table in the web page in order to have 3 columns of centered text.  The first time I did this, the spry menu bar became vertical even though it is listed as horizontal.  I looked up a forum answer, copied the code from the suggestion, and that seemed to fix the problem (although I still don't know what EXACTLY happened)
    I tried to split the table again (I had undone everything prior to this), only this time, the spry menu bar is located outside the page in the left hand corner where my background (I have a wrapper) is.  I tried opening another page where I already had a nice spry menu bar, and it did the same thing!! This makes me think it is the CSS sheet for the menu bar that was modified somehow when I split the table.  I'm pasting the CSS here below, so if anyone sees any issues that might cause this problem, please let me know!! I have been working for the most part in design view, and haven't really modified the code other than to put a wrapper in and a facebook like button, which I've now lost in the slitting cells catastrophe.  Thanks in advance!!!

    Well, I took a picture of my dreamweaver screen, so you can see what I am looking at...
    You can see that the spry menu bar shows up in the top left corner in my design view, but on the website, it is located in the correct place! Maybe it is a Dreamweaver problem??? This happened when I tried to split the cell underneath the section that says "Let NOLA Scribes help you!" into 5 cells so that I could insert 5 differnet pictures and captions. Now, when I open the other linked pages in Dreamweaver, it does the same thing! I'm using an older version of Dreamweaver, but from what I read, that shouldn't be an issue.  Thanks in advance for your help!

  • How do I split a table over two pages in Pages?

    Hi
    I'm trying to split a table in Pages so that the text in the two adjacent rows will fall on two separate pages but I cannot find a way to do this. This was something that is easy to do if using MS Word so I can't believe it would be a feature missing from Pages?
    The document I'm working with is my resume and I had my jobs nicely formatted in a long table so it was easy to work with (job title, dates, achievements etc. in different cells). Since updating to Yosemite and Pages 5.5 I've noticed that I now have my career summary and 'Professional Experience' title on the first page but the table with all my job information is now starting on the second page - leaving just a lot of blank space on the first page. One of the jobs on the second page now also splits across pages 2 and 3. I can see that it is trying to keep everything in the table together and that what I need to do is just split the table at a certain point so that I can put the first part of the table back onto page 1 and the second part of it on page 2 - but it won't give me any option to do this.
    Any ideas?

    Although this thread is several months old, I felt compelled to reply as I have just encountered this gaping hole in Pages functionality.  Jerrold Green 1 is incorrect in asserting that the OP's problem is that Pages won't split a cell across pages.  The OP clearly indicates that Pages is not moving rows that won't fit on the first page of the table, but rather it moves the whole table to the next page.
    So for example, if I have a paragraph of text at the top of page 1, and then insert a table under this paragraph that contains more rows than will fit on the remainder of the page, rather than the rows that won't fit being moved to page 2, Pages moves the entire table to page 2 leaving a big blank space on page 1.  But bizarrely if the table contains more rows than will fit on one whole page, then it will move the overflow rows onto the third page, making you wonder why it didn't just do this on page 1.
    This is with the table arrangement set to Move with Text.  If I set it to Stay on Page, the end of the table just flows over the footer and off the page into oblivion.  If I set Text Wrap to None, it just plonks the table right on top of the other text.  So it gives you the option to do something silly, but not the most sensible option.
    If I am missing something, then can someone please correct me.  Without this basic functionality Pages cannot be considered a professional Word Processor.  I'll unfortunately have to go back to MS Word.

  • Table cell spanning pages

    Hi all,
    I'm having a rather major problem with Pages. I've managed to convince my sister-in-law to buy an iBook and star using Pages for her school work, however we've encountered a particularily difficult problem:
    Pages (and AppleWorks) does not allow her to use table cells that span more than one page! Not only is this a problem because she has whole load of old MSWord documents that she needs to read, but she definitely needs to continue working like this. First because it's the only sensible thing to do, second because her teachers require her to.
    Here's the problem: She creates a table, 2x8 cells (for example). In the rightmost column she generally writes quite a lot of text, often so much that it does not fit inside a cell that is limited vertically to the size of the page. In MSWord, this cell automatically wraps to the next page, however in Pages, the cell simply stops growing and the text appears to continue "behind" the next page.
    We've tried to devise other layouts for her work, but tables seem to be the only feasible alternative. Using columns would not help her at all, text boxes would be too cumbersome, manually splitting the cells would make the document extremely difficult to edit (all her documents are, for a very long time, a work in progress, so editing happens all the time).
    Can anyone help us out here? I'm || this close to going out to buy her a copy of MS Office, as no other word processor I've tried (Pages, AppleWorks, NeoOffice/J, OpenOffice) manages to deal with this properly. This would be a major admission of defeat.
    Anyone?
    Thanks,
    /Eirik

    Welcome to Apple Discussions Elrik
    I have a Pages document with a single table that spans 11 pages. Unfortunately, it took a bit of fiddling with it & I can't remember how I did it. This is a table I had converted from AppleWorks, which also doesn't easily allow tables to span page breaks. I think I got it to do it by inserting new rows in the middle of the existing table. Then I would select & drag the contents from an unconnected table on another page into these new rows.

  • InDesign Cell Strokes

    Is there a way in ID CS3 to have the cell stroke stay inside of the cell instead of splitting the cell border so that a 6 point cell stroke takes away from the cell that it is in instead of taking 3 points from the cell and the same amount from the one next to it?

    I'm afraid not. Because cell strokes are shared with adjacent cells, their strokes must be defined symmetrically.

  • Possible to have vertical scroll bar for a cell in ALV Grid (using methods)

    Hi All,
    I have a field with length 100 characters on a ALV Grid (using methods)..User doesn't want to scroll all the 100 characters horizontally to see the whole text rather he wants to have a vertical scroll bar for the cell so that he can scroll vertically.
    Is it possible to have split the cell text into lines and have a vertical scroll bar for a cell in ALV Grid?
    Regards
    Jaker.

    Thanks for the suggestion Balu.I tried this , but while scrolling,headers also getting scrolled.
    Becoz of this , if i scroll down to the last row,headers are getting hidden.
    Headers should always be static.only the data should scroll.
    Since h:datatable is being rendered as one table , i can div tag for this table alone.
    If i have seperate datatable for headers alone i can do this .But i should not use two datatables.
