Tab as character? Cell A1?

Hello, is it possible to Concatenate cells and add in a Tab as a character?
Also when I copy values into a dropped column to sort, cell A1 won't sort. Do I have something odd about my usual spreadsheet that it doesn't know A1 is an ordinary cell? (I'm not sure if it thinks all of Row 1 isn't part of the job.)
Is there a way to autofill the Char function? I just get a repeat of however many cells I've tried highlighting and dragging down.
Do you think we'll ever be able to sort horizontally? It's a big pain not to be able to!
Thanks.

quote option-tab quote
will give you a tab that can be concatenated.
Row 1 and column A are often used as headers. Headers don't get sorted. That may be what you are seeing.
If you mean you typed in CHAR(33) and CHAR(34) and you want to fill down and have it create CHAR(35), CHAR(36), etc., you can't do it that way. You could use something like =CHAR(ROW()+30) and that will fill down or CHAR(COLUMN()+30) if you want to fill across.
No one outside of Apple knows if sorting horizontally will be forthcoming or not.

  • Why do units of measurement in paragraph tab and character tab differ?

    Why do units of measurement in paragraph tab and character tab differ?
    In Indesign CC 2014.1 when I set the units for type to be in points and all other measurements apart from strokes to be in mm, why are the units for the paragraph tab also in mm?
    In both Photoshop CC and Illustrator CC, whatever units you assign for type also are used for the paragraph settings, which makes sense.
    I want everything to do with type to be in points and pretty much everything else in mm, yet the only way I can have the paragraph tab units as points is for all measurements to be in points!
    Does this sound right or is something wrong with my Indesign?
    Thanks

    They are made by Adobe, and Adobe has different teams for different applications.
    Sometimes the same feature in multiple applications is designed slightly differently than the way other teams would handle it.
    This may be down to:
    Time constraints to get the feature in - compared to other top priority items
    Having to make a decision on whether to do it one way or another way - 50/50 type thing
    Due to the limitations of how the program was designed and how the feature ties in with other features etc.
    And many many more programming reasons. It may be the guy doing the photoshop changes wasn't as well versed in typography needs as the indesign guy.
    Who knows - but there are differences in lots of areas between all apps.

  • Multiple tabs in table cell (FM 7)

    Hey gang,
    I've got a table that requires multiple tab stops in one table cell.  They're easy enough to place--I use the Tab Stops segment in Paragraph Designer--but I cannot move back and forth between the tabs. Each tab stop must be numbered.  For example, I inserted seven tab stops in the cell.  Is there a way to step through the tab stops without leaving the cell? 
    Thanks in advance!
    -terry-

    I need to add that the above may not work, depending on your platform and FM release.
    On FM7.1/Unix, Find randomly fails to find things in tables, and tabs are no exception. The hack above did not work.
    On FM9/Win7, Find of \t did navigate between tabs in a table.
    The real parent problem here may be: who gets to see the keycode from the [Tab] key? It appears that the OS GUI gets first crack at it, and what's passed to the app may not be an 09h character but some window nav event (that has to be converted back to an \x09 when the intent is to type a tab into the text, but when the focus is in an FM table, FM thinks you want nav).
    An FM-specific sub-problem is that FM doesn't support tables within tables (actually, it does, but you have to create a new text frame inside an anchored frame inside the table cell). Tables within tables would eliminate the temptation to tab.
    Tabs, of course, have been a CS problem forever, as there was never an agreed industry standard for what they meant (move 8 spaces, or move to next multiple of 8 space from left, or move to next tab stop, and what if none are defined, etc.). In FM, users who use tabs are generally doing so from habit from other word processors, and are grabbing the margin tab tool, rather than defining stops in Paragraph Designer. A later author updates the para format, resetting all overrides, and bye bye tabs.
    I usually use borderless tables these days for body text layouts that might historically have been done as tabs.
    If I need column-control inside table cells, I'll often use as many columns as needed, and straddle them in the cells that don't use the extra columns).

  • Tab past locked cells in numbers?

    does anyone know if you can lock individual cells in numbers? i need to be able to navigate from unlocked cell to unlocked cell avoiding all locked cells.
    it's easy in excel, we use complex vlookup formulas that return information to other cells and need to protect those formula cells from accidental deletion. protecting cells is also a nice way to limit tabbed navigation to unprotected cells only.
    does anyone know if i can do this with numbers, can't seem to find anything that suggest it can do it.
    thanks...

    Apparently cell locking is not supported. From Macworld's review:
    "There are also quite a few power user features missing from Numbers, such as custom number formats, pivot tables, cell naming, *cell locking*, password protection, splitting windows, and text orientation within a cell, among others."

  • Tab key selects cell for edit in JTable

    Hello,
    I've seen extensive posts on this forum for this problem, but no solution yet.
    I have a Jtable, with custom cellRenders and cellEditors. Some columns are editable, some are not.
    What I want to do, is when someone tabs to an editable cell, that cell immediately goes into edit mode. This means, it acts as if someone double clicked on it, or tabbed then clicked on it. Basically, I want it to ACTUALLY go into edit mode.
    Please do not respond by telling me how to make it look editable (highlighting, etc) and do not respond with mouseEvent solutions. Please do not respond by telling me to do table.editCellAt(row,col) because that does not kick in my custom editor, it uses the defaultCellEditor.
    So basic question:
    How to kick in editing when someone tabs to an editable cell?
    If you need code examples, please request and I will post.

    nmstaat,
    In JTable:
    Look into the processKeyBinding method. It takes a keyevent and matchs it with an InputMap, and the InputMap invokes an Action in the corresponding ActionMap.
    You will have to call yourJTable.getActionMap(), then alter the action that corresponds to the 'tab' key.
    For Further information, check the JTable API, its all there.
    Good Luck,

    Hi, i think joseph fryda gave you the one solution.
    In the server which doesn't support CL_ABAP_CHAR_UTILITIES, here is another solution.
    data:
        C_X1                  TYPE X VALUE '0D',
        C_X2                  TYPE X VALUE '0A',
        C_X3                  TYPE X VALUE '09',
        LC_ENTER(2)           TYPE C,
        LC_TAB                TYPE C.
    enter key
    CONCATENATE C_X1 C_X2 INTO LC_ENTER.
    TAB key
    LC_TAB = C_X3.

  • How do I insert the tab character in a table cell in Pages 5.2?

    I'm typing text in a table cell.  I need to insert a tab in the text.  I've tried all of the modifier keys with the tab.  I read somewhere it would be CTRL>TAB, like Word, but that navigates to the Inspector.

    You will need to add a Unicode keyboard. System Preferences > Keyboard > Input Sources. Click the + button in the lower left. Scroll all the way to the end and select Others > Unicode Hex Input. Select and Add this. Check the box that says Show input menu in menu bar. Exit System Preferences.
    From the Finder menu, select your recent Unicode Hex Input source (it is a black box with white U+ in it). Now, position your cursor in your table cell between the characters where you want to insert a tab character. Press and hold your option key, then type 0009 (zeroes). This is the Unicode sequence for the tab control character. Space will open in your text. Tabs in table cells survive PDF export. The tab mark will not appear with Show invisibles enabled.
    Switch back to your normal country input source in that Finder input source menu.

  • I can no longer tab between cells in a table with pages 5.0.

    I use pages everyday for filling in my work booking sheets. I need to have them synching to the cloud, so I can access the client information while on the road.
    My booking sheet is basically a large table with many cells for name, address, phone number, etc. In pages 4.3 I could enter some information into the cell, hit the tab button, and it would go straight to the next cell in the table. This was a quick and easy way for me to fill out my forms on the computer.
    Well, since the update, the tab button only moves the cursor over in the same cell, as opposed to the next cell. It is VERY rare to need to tab in a cell, as opposed to going to the next cell.
    I did figure out that I could Option+ Tab to move to the next cell, but it is very hard to change my procedure of tabbing after all this timing doing it the other way.
    Am I just missing a preferance to tab between cells, instead of inside a cell?
    Thanks
    Dave

    Option-tab makes sense and can be done with the left hand's thumb/forefinger.
    Using tab was always arse-backwards as it defeated the use of tab within the table cell.
    Best to use both for what they always do:
    Option tab or an arrow key (singular) to jump cells
    tab to jump to the next tab in the text wherever it is within or without cells.
    The contrary precedence was set by Microsoft and was a bad idea. In good UI you do not have shortucts reverse roles such that you need to pay excessive attention to the context.

  • Tab through cells in a table created in Pages

    In 5.0 when I create a table I cannot tab through the cells. Is there a setting I'm missing here? Why must I use the arrow keys?
    Thanks.

    Thanks. I hadn't considered that and yes it works but not the same way it did before. Prior to the change if you made a change in the cell you could double tab to move onto the next one. Now you must use option + tab after making the change to go onto the next cell.

  • Is tabbing through all the active cells of a table possible?

    hi...
    i need to tab through the active cells which are already not seen on the table. i mean i can only tab through the cells which i see, i need to use the horizontal scrollbar to move to the cells which are not already seen.
    can i programmatically change this behaviour?
    i used the example program below to disable a part of the table.
    http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/epd/p/id/2163
    then i noticed this behaviour. hope its the same with arrays also.
    please reply with your valuable suggestions

  • Re-name worksheet tabs from cell contents?

    Is is possible to re-name worksheet tabs automatically from cell contents in another sheet within the same workbook?
    I have a workbook with 30 sheets all feeding data into sheet 31 - the Master Worksheet where all the data is collated etc.
    There are occasions when I'll need to rename the individual sheets, but is there a way to change this in my 'master worksheet' without having to go back and individually re-name all the other sheets?

    General,
    At this time there is no way to do what you want.  If you can formulate a clear feature request you can post your idea to Apple using the menu item "Numbers > Provide Numbers Feedback".
    There is a way, however, to use a function called indirect() that can take input from a table to construct a cell reference.  Not know your specific setup it is hard to provide a specific suggestion. 

  • Cross-tab cell padding: how to change

    Post Author: EnRoute
    CA Forum: General
    I am trying to minimize the height of the cells of a cross-tab object.  I can re-size the text, but that doesn't change the padding between the text and the cell border lines.  There is more padding than I want.  If I reduce the text height any more, the bottoms of the letters g, j, p, q, and y are truncated, even though there is a significant amount of whitespace below.  Is there a way to change the amount of cell padding?

    One way to do it in CR XI is to right click on the cross tab and then Cross Tab Expert and in the Customize Style tab, uncheck Show Cell Margins.  That will eliminate the cell padding of white space.

  • Tab character in repot opening as a CSV in Excel

    In our application we are opening the report in (CSV format) browser and saving as a txt file.When we open the the report in an Excel sheet as coma as the delimiter, end of each line appearing a control character for Tab which is not accepted by the client.
    The work around of selecting coma and tab as the delimiters while opening in Excel will eliminate the problem but not accepted by the client.
    We are using Reports6i and J2EE.
    Pls provide a solution to avoid this control character in Excel.

    Hello Arun,
    Reports does not automatically insert any TAB control character at the end of each line in the generated delimited format text file. Only the specified delimiter character will be used to seperate indivdiual data values. You should see the same delimiter character at the end of each row in the text file.
    Please try to first generate your report to a delimited format text file directly, using the either the Reports Runtime (rwrun60) or Client (rwcli60), using a comma delimiter. Verify whether you are able to import this file correctly into Excel, without seeing any control characters. If so, the output generated by Reports is accurate, and there could be a problem in the file saved by the browser.
    Thanks,

  • Skipping jTable cells with tab

  • Cell figures alignment

    Hi,
    for those of you who don't know me, I'm new at ID.
    I'm tackling tables. And I have a problem. How do you align figures in columns where you have normal figures like 25,000 and below it you have minus figures like (25,000). What I want to do is align them, so the parenthesis hangs out (a bit to the right), and the 25,000s perfectly align. I'm doing tables in the cell style, properly.
    Thanks.

    P Spier wrote:
    Align on the decimal point.
    The tab is implied inside the cell unless you add another manually.
    I'm sorry, I don't understand this sentence. Do you mean ID thinks there's a tab in the cell? Because I still can't do it with a decimal point, nothing happens.
    OR
    Do I need to put a tab into every cell? With Insert special character?
