Two common commands missing: go to last filled cell and find within column

Hello,
There seem to be two very common commands (and, by extension, shortcuts) that are missing from Numbers. First, in Excel, you can use command+arrow to go to the last filled cell (even if it is a formula without a result). More importantly, combining this command with the shift key allows you to select an entire column, etc. instantly. The command is also smart enough to exclude headers and formulas in the last row only, initially. You can easily add them by using only shift+arrow after the selection has been made.
Next, you apparently cannot search within a particular selection only, such as an entire column or row (or just a custom selected area). This is obviously very useful.
Any suggestions on how to accomplish these tasks is welcome but a search on these forums and a detailed look at the user manual came up with nothing.
Thanks,
Jonna

Different program, different paradigm.
In the tables in Numbers, there is generally no need to have unused columns at the right or unused rows at the bottom. While I agree it would be nice to have a simple key-command that does these things, there is less of a need for them in a program where the last cell filled is usually the last cell there is.
And selecting an entire row, or column, can be accomplished simply by clicking on the "A" (or "B" or "C"...) or "1" (or "2" or "3"...). This does select the headers and footers as well, however.
With respect, the advent of apple spreadsheet software (however much I respect the company) does not represent a new paradigm–it is just "new" and therefore may be missing some crucial features. You do not provide any helpful suggestions, unfortunately, and the problem remains. What if I do not want to select an entire cell but only from a point in the middle of the column to the end? There is no command nor key command for this.
You also say nothing about the search issue, which is clearly a problem.
Anyway, thanks jaxjason, I will send in some feedback.

  • Force Crawler in Maint Mode to Ignore Last Modified Data and Re-Index All

    We are running SES 10.1.8.4 with the Siebel 7.8 data source patches 8533402 and 8624308 to index documents (PDF, XLS, DOC, PPT) via RMI and Decompression Tool in Siebel. This data source is virtually identical to the database data source.
    The crawler will not "fail" if the actual indexing of the attachment file itself fails. For example, if RMI is down on the Siebel server and the crawler runs, SES will index the document metadata returned in the SQL but not the document. If the client then starts the RMI utility and re-runs the crawler, the document that was not indexed will not be re-indexed because the data source's last crawl time is used against the data sources last modified date attribute.
    Here is the pseudo SQL for the initial crawler query in maintenance mode....
    SELECT .... FROM MY_VIEW WHERE LASTMODIFIEDATE > TIME OF LAST DATA SOURCE CRAWL
    We have found a way to update the data source's last crawl time (DS_LAST_CRAWL) in the EQ$_DATA_SOURCE table. For now, we simply are using SYSDATE - 1.
    This will allow the missed document to be returned in the initial query.
    However, it's the crawler's document-level last modified date check within the crawler that is preventing the re-index. Since the document's last modified date is the same as what SES has, SES skips over it thinking it has not changed. True, it has not changed but it was missed during the last re-crawl and we want it to be indexed again.
    The client does NOT want to perform a full re-index because of the anticipated volume of attachments.
    Is there any way to tell the crawler to ignore the document-level last modified date and re-index everything returned from the initial query? Perhaps one of the other columns in the EQ$_DATA_SOURCE (DS_STATUS, DS_CRAWLING_MODE) holds the key?
    Thanks!

    I think it might be possible to set ENQUEUE_STATUS = 'Y' in the table EQ_TEST.EQ$URL. You may need to call eq_adm.use_instance(1) before doing so.
    However I'm not sure of the full implications of doing this - DON'T DO IT ON A PRODUCTION SYSTEM without carefully testing on a development system.

  • "Edit In Photoshop" command missing

    I bought Lightroom and Photoshop Elements 10 last year (downloaded LR v4.3 yesterday) and sat down to learn how to use them together today (www.lynda.com Using Lightroom and Photoshop Together with Jan Kabili).
    When I open LR the Photo -> Edit In -> Edit In Photoshop command is greyed out (non-functional).
    I tried both solutions listed under 'Solution 3: On Mac OS' on the following help page including uninstalling and re-downloading and installing PS Elements 10 and it is still not working:
    http://helpx.adobe.com/x-productkb/multi/edit-photoshop-command-missing-photoshop.html
    Please advise how to make your programs work together.  Surely, with Photoshop Elements installed and running on my computer Lightroom must be able to notice it.
    Bill.

    I just realised what I was doing wrong.  I installed Photoshop Elements 10 but I was launching Photoshop Elements Editor not Photoshop Elements.  I had no idea there were multiple applications!  Now that I have launched the main Photoshop Elements Application (it then brings up a dialog where you select organize or edit) the "Edit in Photoshop Elements 10" menu item has appeared as expected in Lightroom.

  • HT1583 When I render my project in IDVD, video and audio runs properly, but when I burn it in professional quality and burning is finished there was no audio on the last two chapters, one audio is attached to the clip and the other one is from itunes, pls

    Hi, please help me When I render my project in IDVD, video and audio runs properly, but when I burn it in professional quality and burning is finished there was no audio on the last two chapters, one audio is attached to the clip and the other one is from itunes, pls help

    Hi
    My first two thoughts
    • Shared to Media Browser - BUT as Large or HD - try Medium !
    • audio from iTunes - use to go silent
    - in iTunes
    - Create a new PlayList with needed audio
    - BURN this as a standard Audio-CD (.aiff) - NOT .mp3
    - use the files on this CD in Your Movie project - I ALWAYS DO - and only use .aiff ever - never .mp3'
    My notes on this:
    No audio on DVD disc.
    Most common origin. 
    1. Imported audio from iTunes.
    • In iTunes copy out as an Audio-CD .aiff (Same as played on standard Stereo CD - no .mp3)
    • Use this in Your movie project
    2. Low - Free Space on Start-up/Boot/Internal/Mac OS Hard disk makes it hard for iMovie to work as intended.
    Down to 1.3 GB and it doesn’t work - especially audio don’t migrate over to Media Browser
    (iM’08 & 09)
    3. Material in iMovie’08 & 09 - Shared to Media Browser and here selected as Large
    large.m4v. It silenced out this project in iDVD. By making a slight alteration - provoking it to ask for a new Share/Publish to Media Browser and here selecting 640x480 - and audio was back when a new iDVD project was created including this movie.
    Minuscular - - 176x144
    Mobile - - - - - 480x360
    Medium - - - - 640x480
    Large - - - - - - 720x540    960x540
    HD - - - - - - - - 1280x720
    4. Strange audio formats like .mp3, .avi etc.
    • Change them to .aiff. Use an audio editor like Audacity (free)
    5. Main audio is set to off in System Preferences - Does this by it self - Don’t know why
    Cheque Audio-Out resp. Audio-In
    6. Ed Hanna
    Had the same problem; some Googling around gave me a kludgy, but effective fix
    Downgrade Perian from recent versions back to version 1.0.
    That worked for me, and so far I haven't encountered any deficiencies — except it takes more advanced versions of Perian to enable QuickTime to handle subtitles in .srt format — that I have noticed.
    7. GarageBand fix.
    In this set audio to 44.1 kHz (Klaus1 suggestion)
    (if this don’t work try 48 kHz - me guessing)
    Before burning the DVD.
    • Do a DiskImage (File menu and down)
    • Double click on the .img file
    • Test it with Apple DVD-player
    If it’s OK then make Your DVD.
    Burn at x1 speed.... (or x4)
    • In iDVD 08 - or - 09
    • Burn from DiskImage with Apple’s Disk Utilities application
    • OR burn with Roxio Toast™ if You got it

  • Photoshop and Illustrator batch commands missing in Bridge CS6

    Photoshop and Illustrator commands missing (eg batch and Live Trace) in Bridge CS6 tools, but they are there in CS5.
    Any thoughts
    much appreciated regards
    Tim

    So I deleted/uninstalled all versions of bridge then photoshop, but Bridge would not even install with PS cs5 (maybe it never did, there was no option on install).
    In the CS4 suite there was a separate option to install or uninstall Bridge, for CS5 they changed this as combined install with PS.
    There are many options for buying separate applications or combinations (Suite) of Adobe Products but according to the Adobe Site Bridge is delivered also with the separate applications Indesign, Illustrator, Flash, Premiere Pro, After Effects and Incopy.
    Usually when having a complete Suite it is delivered with one of those applications.
    Bridge should be able to communicate with all applications from the same CS version, but uses start up scripts for that applications.
    When doing normal installation those scripts should be placed in the correct location automatically.
    Having different suite versions on your system it will not be easy to make them communicate with each other through one version of Bridge (sadly enough you can also have only one version of Bridge active at the time and different versions of Bridge use different cache folders).
    Don't have experience with scripting but maybe the dedicated Bridge scripting forum (link in previous post) can help you out for the answer of customized start up scripts or if it is possible at all.

  • Why is Edit in Photoshop command missing or refers to Photoshop Elements?

  • OTF end command// missing OTF data

    Hi all,
    I created one PO smartform and assigned it to a driver program its execting fine in one development client.
    When I try to execute the same smartform in another development client its showing  "OTF end command// missing  OTF data".
    In the driver program there's FM " CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF".But still its showing the error when I run the tcode me9f to send the form through mail and even when checking the print preview.
    what could be the reason? Do I have to make any changes in  the FM CONVERT_OTF_2_PDF in the another dev client?
    Please answer
    Thx

    Every OTF data has "//" in begining and "EP //" in the end. Are you modifying the OTF internal table before passing it to the FM for PDF conversion? Check the content of OTF in debugging mode.

    Hi All,
    We are printng invoices and archiving them at the same time.
    When I try to print and archive just the original invoice it works fine
    That is , it prints and archives.
    However when I set the flag SSFCOMPOP-TDARCCOP to 'X'  (Archive Copies as well),
    I get the error OTF end command // missing in OTF data.
    Im guessing that the system tries to archive multiple copies and the End of File Command // at the end of each copy is causing the issue. But I dont know how to go about solving it.
