Table 2 Cel A1 Referencing Table 1 Cel A1

Hi,
I must be missing something...
I have 2 tables set up on the same sheet in Numbers 09. I set A1 in Table 2 to equal A1 in Table 1. Now if I add a row above Row A in Table 1, my A1 in Table 2 = Table 1 A2. I've tried playing with the Relative and Absolute selections in the function to no avail. How do I specify that a cel in a table always equals the same cel in another table no matter what is done to the referenced table?
Thanks!

You use INDIRECT.
Table 2 A1 = INDIRECT("Table 1::A1")
or if you want to make it easier to fill in an entire row
A1 =INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROW(),COLUMN(),,,"Table 1"))
You can take this second formula and fill it across/down. The first formula you would have to edit for each cell.

"Referenced" Table Cells not copying formatting of the source table

Hi-
I have one sheet that has a rental inventory table that is quite large. On another page, I have a "printable" version that has filtering applied to hide certain columns.
What I did orginally was duplicate the table on the inventory page, cut it, then go to my printable sheet, and paste it. I now have a duplicate version of the original. Then I go and select all cells, hit delete and all the contents disappear leaving me with the correct formating.
At this point I can type in cells and see that the formating is intact (certain cells are in Bold for example).
I delete the test contents, then reference the first cell (a1) to the source table, then copy the references across that entire printable table. Once I've done that, all of the contents of the source table now appear in the "printable" table.
The problem is, that once I reference the source table, the formatting goes away. The data shows up correctly: ie, =Equip List :: B2, but the specific cell formating is gone.
What am i doing wrong here?
Thanks
Matt

"I delete the test contents, then reference the first cell (a1) to the source table, then copy the references across that entire printable table."
If you do this by selecting and Copying the first cell containing the formula, that "copy" includes the formatting of the copied cell. If you then Paste, the Paste includes that format setting. You could try Edit > Paste and Match format.
If that doesn't work, you could try this:
Enter, then fill the formula as you've done, then set the format of each cell or group of cells to include the attributes you want at that location.

Barry

Referencing cells in other tables

I am trying to build an application that requires formulas that need to reference cells in another table. Is this possible. If not is there a way to have rows in a table hidden so that only the summary totals are showing. So far it appears neither can be done.
Steve

We have had similar questions in the past, and no one has been able to reference one table from another.
To hide a row is not easy either. The best thing seems to be to set the colours of both text and borders to white (or anyhow the background of the page) or 0% opacity, even though the row still takes up space.

Referencing Cells in another table dynamically

I am preparing a SS with one table per month - I want to start each table with the ending data from the previous table. I can do this by settin a fixed size for the table. Is there a way to reference the last row of another table if I don't know how long that table is? I tried ROWS, but got an error with the form
=ROWS(2008.1::G:2008.1::G) (2008.1 is the table name) TIA

Hello
On this point I disagree. I didn't asked Numbers to +update the value of all strings in all formulas just because they happened to match a table name that+ I renamed.
The given string IS the 5th operand in this formula and Numbers IS aware of the meaning of this operand.
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(ROWS(2008_1 :: G),COLUMN(G),,,"2008_1"))
operand 1 is ROWS(2008_1 :: G)
operand 2 is COLUMN(G
operand 3 is empty
operand 4 is empty
operand 5 is "2008_1"
To be more explicit, this operand is not a simple string, it IS a table identifier.
If it contains "::" it IS a tableof_asheet identifier.
This may perfectly be parsed without clobbering other occurences of the same strings which don't have the same meaning.
The problem would be the same if, in formulas using a cell address defined by a concatenation (if I remember well you posted some of them) , editing a table name would not be reflected in the formula. I did not tested but I will do.

Hello,
I try to explain what i like to have:
I want to have a connection from one cell in f.e. table A to one cell in table B. The value of the cell in table A is a calculated value, f.e. a summary. Now this value should appear in the cell on sheet B, always live (?).

How to make a popup list referencing to a another table cell?

I'm trying to build this:
In a table I get values for area, perimeters and volumes of floor walls ceiling etc.
On another table there's a description of the building process (like demolition of a wall or floor...)
and i would like to choose with a drop down menu one of the value already in the first Table. So to append a cost for unit and calculate the amount for that quantity.
I've not understood if this is possible throught VLOOKUP.

hi ,
This is the code for displaying popup window...
DATA: l_cmp_api          TYPE REF TO if_wd_component,
           l_window_manager   TYPE REF TO if_wd_window_manager,

How do I reference a table in a cell so that when I type in a word, other cells in that row are automatically filled in?

I'm making a cheat sheet for my fantasy football league. To this point I have separate sheets that list players at various positions (the sheets are characterized by the positions they cover i.e. quarterback/running back etc). I also have at the end a table that lists a team abbreviation (identical to how I would reference the team in the other sheets) with that team's bye week and schedule listed.
I want to be able to type a team name next to a player's name and have that team's information be filled into the cells on the same row, by referencing that table I have at the end.
Can anyone help? Very much appreciated. Thanks.

Cell references to other tables, keep from changing

Here's what I am trying to do. I have two tables, in two sheets. Sheet 1::Table 1 and Sheet 2::Table 2.
The cells in Table 2 are all referenced to cells in Table 1 (with a formula that looks like =Table 1::X7).
I want to be able to move the rows in Table 1 around but have the formulas in Table 2 not change their reference. Now it seems they follow along. So the reference in Table 2 is =Table 1::X7 and I move row 7 in Table 1 so that it becomes row 6, my reference in Table 2 changes to =Table 1::X6. I don't want it to change. Changing the reference from relative to absolute doesn't seem to change this.
Any suggestions?
Thanks! Brian

"I looked at INDEX and OFFSET but from what I can tell they don't accept a parameter for a different table."
OFFSET's base can be set as a cell on a different table. If that cell is in a Header row, it will not be included in sorts of the table, so in many cases cell A1 is chosen as 'base' (with row 1 set as a Header row), and offsets are calculated from that cell.
The example below shows results using OFFSET in columns B and C, and INDEX and OFFSET in column D, all of Table 2, to retrieve values from column X of Table 1. The yellow-filled row on Table 2 retrieves the values from the same cell as your =Table 1::X7 formula above. X7 is in the green filled row of Table 1.
The second pair of tables shows duplicates of the same pair of tables. Table 1 in this row has been sorted on the values in column B. Note that what was Row 7 of Table 1 is now Row 4 (although it is still labeled Row 7 in column A). Table 2 has not been sorted. The yellow-filled row is still in the same position and the formula in each of the three cells remains the same as it was in the first version of the table. The value retrieved is from cell X7 on the sorted Table 1.
Formulas (all in Table 2, entered in row 2, then filled down to row 10):
B2: =OFFSET(Table 1 :: $A$1,ROW()-1,23)
C2: =OFFSET(Table 1 :: $X$1,ROW()-1,0)
These two are pretty much the same.
The first uses A1 as the base, and requires a column offset of 23 steps to arrive at column X.
The second uses X1 as the base, and requires a column offset of 0 to remain in column X.
The row offset for both is set by the row in which the formula resides. ROW() returns the row number, from which 1 is subtracted to give an offset from row 1 of one step less than the row number of the formula's position.
D2: =INDEX(OFFSET(Table 1 :: $X$1,0,0,ROWS(Table 1 :: $X)),ROW())
This one uses OFFSET's ability to capture several values in an internal array, triggered here by adding a fourth argument to the function ( ROWS(Table 1::$X) ), to define the row-range as 'all of the rows in column X'. The values are extracted using INDEX.
Although INDEX has its uses, here I think it is redundant, and would use either of the two previous examples.

Barry

Reference Cells in table 2 by value in table 1

I'm looking for a shortcut to a cell referencing problem I can't seem to solve elegantly. I want to use a value found in a cell to reference another cell in a Formula... I've used VLOOKUP in the past but it just seems like it's overkill. I think I'm just formatting things incorrectly if you look at my examples below...
Let's say you have 2 tables with unique names (TableA and TableB). TableA consists of 2 columns. Column A is a sequential list of numbers from 1 to say 10. Column B's Header is 'North' and it is also 10 rows but with strings in each cell.
Moving to TableB I have numbers in column A that are not sequential.
What I want is a formula for Column B (of TableB) that will bring in the string from TableA that is in the second column and matches the Row with the same number as found in the column A of the current Row.
For example if TableB's cell A4 held the number '8' (without quotes) then I want to find the value in cell North '8' of TableA. So this I can type directly =TableA :: North '8'
but i really want a Formula that I can copy and paste into hundreds of cells. I'd think it'd be something like =TableA :: North 'TableB::A4' or perhaps =TableA :: North (VALUE(TableB::A4)) but these don't work! Is there a syntax trick that I haven't uncovered?
Thanks for any help!

=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(A+1, 3, , , "TableA"))
Of course, if A+1 is higher than the number of rows available in "TableA" the formula will return an error.
It seems that it would be useful to look at the description of the function ADRESSE()
+ADDRESS(row, column, [type], [style], [table])+
+row: The row number of the address.+
+column: The column number of the address.+
+type: Optional; a number specifying whether the row and column numbers are relative or absolute:+
+1 or missing treats row and column as absolute references.+
+2 treats the row number as an absolute reference and the column number as a relative reference.+
+3 treats the row number as a relative reference and the column number as an absolute reference.+
+4 treats both row and column numbers as relative references.+
+style: Optional; the address style:+
+TRUE, 1, or omitted formats the address using the A1 style, in which the letter specifies the column and the number specifies the row.+
+FALSE formats the address using the R1C1 style, which isn’t supported and returns an error.+
+table: Optional; the name of the table. If the table is on another sheet, you must also include the name of the sheet.+
the first three parameters MUST be numbers so it's normal that you are not allowed to use "greek alphabet".
We may use:
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(A+1,COLUMN(TableA :: greek alphabet),,,"TableA"))
as I did in this modified version.
The +1 added for the first parameter was required because I added a header row in TableA.

How to use cell contents to indirectly reference other tables?

I think I need to use the INDIRECT or ADDRESS function here, but I just can't seem to structure it right. Does anyone have ideas?
I have a model that uses multiple tables, and I want to be able to enter table names, column names and row names into a new table, and for it to go and look up the right value in that TABLE::ROW NAME, COLUMN NAME.
In more detail: I have a table called SITES that has columns called Site1, Site2 etc, and rows of information such as Name, Phone, etc. I also have a whole series of tables called OPTION1, OPTION2 etc etc, which also have multiple columns for Site1, Site2 etc, and then rows of different information for each site, labelled Alt1, Alt2, Alt3 etc.
What I want to do is create new tables for reports, where I can enter eg OptionN in one cell, SiteN in another, and for that table to lookup the value of table OptionN::SiteN AltN. I need this to be built into the formulae partly for data integrity purposes eg, if the table shows Site1 name, and Option1, I need to be certain that the information in that table truly reflects Site1 and Option1 information, and also because I want to be able to create some simple whatif comparisons by changing a table from say Option1 to Option2 and seeing the difference.
So far, I have tried entering OptionN in A1 of the new table, and SiteN in B1, butI can't find a formula that will then go to table OptionN (A1) and lookup eg SiteN (B1), AltN. The AltN term would be written into the formula rather than referenced from another cell such as C1. I've tried the following sort of thing - none work:
=&A1 &"::" &B1 &"AltN"
=INDIRECT(A1&"::"&B1&"AltN")
=INDIRECT(ADDRESS(AltN,B1,,,A1))
I'd be very grateful for any help, as the ability to create tables that will lookup info from elsewhere using contents of its own cells will transform Numbers for me from a novelty to a seriously useful tool.

James,
Here's a primitive example that, I believe, in your words "will transform Numbers for me from a novelty to a seriously useful tool".
In the Result column we have the nice little expression: =INDIRECT(Site&" "&Alt). You should be able to take it from there.
That's it.

Cell Selection & ALV Table (SALV_WD_TABLE)

Hi Experts,
is it possible to select more than one cell (not row!) in an ALV Table?
I changed the cell editor to cl_salv_wd_uie_input_field and set the whole table editable.
Now I am able to select one cell, but what about multiple selections? In the Java world I found this one: TableSingleMarkableCell
Sounds good - what about ABAP?
And if there is no way with the ALV Table, how I might get the functionality with other components?
Thanks for your help, have a great week!
Hendrik
Edited by: Gedicke, Hendrik on Jul 28, 2008 11:06 AM

Hi Thomas,
I tried to integrate the cell variant TableSingleMarkableCell. But I think the ALV table does not support this cell variant, or am I wrong? The runtime class is .CL_WD_TABLE_SNGL_MARK_CELL
(see http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw70/helpdata/EN/a5/b8fa41c915da6fe10000000a1550b0/frameset.htm)
I will try to explain:
When you want to use a cell variant, it is necessary to "add" it to a column. Therefore you can use the public method "ADD_CELL_VARIANT" of the class "CL_SALV_WD_COLUMN".
This method has got a "value" import parameter which is a referencing the class "CL_SALV_WD_CV".
The thing is that the only sub class of "CL_SALV_WD_CV" is "CL_SALV_WD_CV_STANDARD" and this means that the TableSingleMarkableCell is not supported.
Or did I made a mistake? This is my last chance to use a cell selection with the alv component.
Thanks & Regards,
Hendrik

How to disable a single cell in a table (and not the whole column)

Hi there,
I've got a webdynpro table with a few columns, rows can be created dynamically through a button in the table toolbar.
Depending on the value of a certain cell I have to disable another cell (in the same row).
I tried to manipulate the view in the modifyview but no joy. I also tried to manipulate the attribute property through the coding below:
DATA lv_knttp TYPE knttp.
lo_nd_kostl = wd_context->path_get_node( path = `MULTIVALUES.KOSTL` ).
lo_el_kostl = lo_nd_kostl->get_element( ).
lo_el_kostl->set_attribute_property(
attribute_name = 'LTEXT'
property = lo_el_kostl->e_property-enabled
value = ''
but it disables the whole column!!!! I just need the cell to be disabled (I thought the code above, through the lead selection, would affect a certain cell only - but I was wrong).
Any ideas?
Thanks!!!

Hi,
using cell variants you can do this.,
check this article: [Cell Variants in WDA|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/WDABAP/WebDynproforABAPCellVariants]
Instead of binding the read only property of table as a whole , just bind the read only property of column group of table., You can do this bu drill down the table and select the required column and bind the read only column.,
then In onAction Event of button .,
loop the table, if condition satisfied set the read only property to true else false.,!!
hope this helps u.,
Thanks & regards,
Kiran

Populating from one table cell in one table to another cell in another table - confusing results

Hi, really hope someone can help because I feel like I'm almost there... just not quite!
Here's what I have:
Two tables. One is called 'plantable' - this is an expanding table in so much as the user can click a button and it will add a new empty row. Within this row there is a button to remove the row (working fine), six text field cells where users can add text. Two of these text cells are called 'wb' and 'better' - this is important as they come into play later. There's also a button called 'Send to Review' on the same row.
This button does two things: It adds a new Row in a separate table called 'review table'. 'reviewtable' operates similarly to 'plantable'. It is expanding (so there's an 'add row' button) and each row consists of a remove button which removes that particular row, along with five text field cells - two of which are called 'wb' and 'better'
This is what I would like to happen: The user adds several entries (rows) in the 'plantable'. They have the option of adding one of these rows to the 'reviewtable' - if they do this it will auto-populate the text fields for 'wb' and 'better' in the newly created row in the 'reviewtable'. The user can also go directly to the 'reviewtable' and add a new row (completely independent of the 'plantable') and fill in the text fields as they require.
This is what is actually happening: It all works... apart from the fact that whichever 'add to review' button the user presses in the 'plantable' row, a new row is created in the 'review table' but it always pulls the data from the cells of the top-most row in the 'plantable'. For example, I have a plantable with three rows, a, b, c (each row has an 'add to review' button). Each row has text for the 'wb' and 'better' text cells - say, a-wb, a-better, b-wb, b-better, c-wb, c-better. Even if I click on the 'add to review' button in row c, the reviewtable will always add a new row and populate it with the contents from row a. If I click on the same button again it will add a new row and fill it with the contents of row b. If I keep pressing the button it will add more and more rows but they become blank. Also, if the user has added new rows independently to the reviewtable it won't keep the order, so instead of having a row with empty fields followed by say row a then row b, row a will always come first, followed by row b followed by the empty row. I just want them to be viewed in the order the user has added them to the reviewtable. Not what I want to happen.
Here's my code.
Code for adding a new row to plantable (I think this is correct, but placing it here so you can see):
plantable._planrow.addInstance(0);
Code for adding a new row FROM a row in plantable TO a new row in review table (it also adds a dialogue box before proceeding which is the first two lines of code):
var button = xfa.host.messageBox("You are about to ADD this entry to the REVIEW section. Do you wish to proceed?", "Add to Review Section", 1, 2);
if (button == 4)
{form1.Review.reviewsub.reviewtable._planrow.addInstance(0);
var vCol1 = this.resolveNodes("form1.plan.plansub.plantable.planrow[*].better");
var vCol2 = this.resolveNodes("form1.Review.reviewsub.reviewtable.reviewrow[*].better");
var vCol3 = this.resolveNodes("form1.plan.plansub.plantable.planrow[*].wb");
var vCol4 = this.resolveNodes("form1.Review.reviewsub.reviewtable.reviewrow[*].wb");
for (var i = 0; i < vCol1.length; i ++) {
vCol2.item(i).rawValue = vCol1.item(i).rawValue;
vCol4.item(i).rawValue = vCol3.item(i).rawValue;
Can anyone help me with this please as I don't really understand where I am going wrong.
Many thanks, Sunil

How can I select a radio button in a table regarding the data in the cells?

Hi everyone
This is the issue: I need to select the RadioButton which is in a table with data related to transfers in the cells next to it, so I need to select the correct radio regarding the data next to it.
This is the whole process: First I go to the Add Recurring Transfer section and select the parameters of the transfer (Accounts, date, amount, months etc), then with VB code I capture those parameters from the page and store them into Global variables for further usage on my E-tester script.
Right after that I need to select the radiobutton regarding the data of the transfer that I already created in order to delete it or modify it (Please see Attachment selectradio1.jpg)
So How can I move along the table and compare each cell with the variables that I created with the transfer information, so when I finish comparing a row cell by cell and if all the comparison match well in that row, I could select the radiobutton of the row.
Note: Second Attachment selectradio2.jpg shows the source code of the table...If you need more info please let me know
Could you please help me with this problem?? I'm Kind of frustrated with this issue jejeje

Here is an example. I uploaded mock html so that you can actually try this code. I think this does exactly what you are asking.
Private Sub RSWVBAPage_afterPlay()
Dim tbl As HTMLTable
Dim tblRow As HTMLTableRow
Dim tblCell As HTMLTableCell
Dim strValue As String
Dim rButton As HTMLInputElement
' ******** This would be your global variable. I put this so that values are seperated by a semicolin you can use what ever format works for you.
strValue = "03/22/2008;03/22/2008;*************1977;*************1977;$25.25;Jan, Jun, Jul, Dec"
' Strip out the ; for inner text comparison
strValue = Replace(strValue, ";", "")
' This will get the table but can be modifoed to be more specific
Set tbl = RSWApp.om.FindElement(, "TABLE")
' This loops through all the rows in the table until a match to the strValue is found
' then clicks the radio button. Findelements allows you to specify a root element
' once the correct root row is found, FindElemets can get the correct radio button
For Each tblRow In tbl.rows
  If tblRow.innerText = strValue Then
    Set rButton = RSWApp.om.FindElement("account", "INPUT", "NAME", , , tblRow)
     rButton.click
   End If
Next
End Sub
I also uploaded the script I created. You should be able to run it and see how it works.
This should get you going.
