Where is the command to set number format in the latest version of Numbers?

I can't believe that Numbers seems to make it easy to do something stupid like turn a cell pink, but that I cannot find ANYWHERE the simple icons/commands to set the various important number formats. Scientific notation, Currency, fixed decimals. What am I missing here? I'm remembering Appleworks 6, whose spreadsheets allowed a halfway intelligent user to get actual work done. Help will be highly appreciated.

Select Format at top/right, then the Cell tab (Numbers 3.2).  Select the cell(s), then open the Data Format dropdown.

  • Problem with the number format in the graph axis with Report Generation Toolkit.

    Hi!
    I'm trying to use the Report Generation Toolkit to plot some graphs in Excel.
    My first problem is that I don't know how to configure the number format in the Excel Set Graph Font.vi so that my numbers are correctly displayed in the graph's axis. The only given option is general (0,0) but this is not enough for me, my numbers can get really small so I need engineering notation or fraccional format.
    Second: I also insert a table with the graph source data, but the numbers are not correctly displayed either: for example: 
    0,75 is shown as: 
    0,750000
    but 1,25  is shown as: 
    1!250!000
    My guess is I am making to much or wrong string to number conversions or Excel is getting it wrong but I can't find my way...
    Can someone help me with this?
    Thanks,
    Isabel

    Here is my VI, it's just a trial so it can look messy...
    Thanks,
    Isabel

    Unknown Error containing "0xE" when restoring
    To resolve this issue, follow the steps in iPhone, iPad, iPod touch: Unknown error containing '0xE' when connecting. If you have a Windows computer with an Intel® 5 series/3400 series chipset, you may need updates for your chipset drivers.

    if that doesn't work for you - go to system preferences - keyboard and change it there.
    good luck

  • Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Color Engine

    Hi all
    This bizarrely started this morning - completely out of the blue - and I've no idea why.
    Setup: Mac 10.8.2 / Creative Suite Premium PhotoShop CS5 extended (patched to 12.04)
    Am working on images exported from LightRoom 4 (16bit A3 Pro Photo RGB PSDs) in PhotoShop CS5.
    As part of my image grading process I have a PhotoShop Action that does the following: copy layer to new document (document respects all of copied layer settings) > Image > Adjustments > HDR toning > apply a certain HDR preset > copy to resultant image back to original doc > set opacity as 40%.
    Totally out of the blue, after having this action for about 2 months, this morning I start getting a warning dialog of "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Color Engine" and the action fails. The failure seems to take place at the 'make document' part of the action and seems to somehow be related to the contents of the clipboard.
    I've tried trashing and re-creating the action. It works first time out fine and then - on the next image - errors again.
    At present I can only safely carry out the work 'manually' by completing all the actions myself.
    I can think of no settings that have changed and the OS hasn't been updated in a while.
    I have found one other thread on a similar problem in PhotoShop Elements, but no definitive solution.
    Any help appreciated as I have a shedload of stuff to process.
    Best wishes
    TP

    OK: trash of prefs didn't work. Tried thrice. Re-created orig action. same problem.
    BUT!
    Your 'Image > Duplicate' suggestion does seem to work. If I use that in a new action as the method for creating the HDR version doc (instead of 'Select > Copy > New > Paste), it seems to work.
    Will try that out this afternoon, but for now: WIN!
    Many thanks for the suggestion!

  • ERROR - "The formula contains a number outside of the valid range"

    Hello,
    I am using an equation that is returning the error "the formula contains a number outside of the valid range" when the constituent cells of the equation contain a negative number. I have tried using the inspector to format the problem cell(s) differently, but to no avail. The equation works fine in other respects. How is numbers deciding what the valid range for variables in my foruma is?
    I've done the math out separately to make sure the equation isn't dividing by 0 or something wacky, but there's nothing wrong with the formula or the result... It should be doing math and it's not!
    I haven't found any posts by other users with the same problem.
    Thanks.

    jd,
    It would help us if you paste the formula in your post here, exactly as it appears in the cell. Also tell us the values of the inputs to that formula.
    Changing a cell's format seldom has any effect on the calculation. Formatting changes how a result is displayed, but not what the result of the formula is behind the screen.

  • Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Colour Engine??

    When I am playing back a set of recorded actions, I receive a message that says "Could not complete the command because of a problem using the Adobe Colour Engine". This occurs after I copy a part of an image to paste it onto a new file. It occurs during the "Make" part(making a new file) and I was just wondering how to fix it.

    It's a known (but esoteric) bug in Photoshop CS5 and earlier, seen with grayscale images.  It used to crash utterly, but after I reported it I think they patched Photoshop 12.0.something to avoid the crash.  However, the step still fails when you make a new grayscale image in an action.
    I saw it because I created an action to paste the clipboard into new document, all in one motion.  It virtually always works as long as I have a colored image in the clipboard.  But not grayscale.
    One workaround, which is not particularly convenient, is to turn on prompting for the Make new image step.  I haven't used this workaround for a while, but it used to be that if you confirmed the "File New" operation manually it would continue and work.  I don't know if the workaround is still valid.

  • I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fualt lies at my end or at the other end

    I have two companies sending me indesign documents. One opens up and the dictionary is set to English. The other file opens at is in Hebrew, Not sure how to fix the Hebrew part and whether or not the fault lies at my end or at the other end

    If only the language is Hebrew, you should correct it in the Paragraph and Character Styles.
    But in such a case I would expect more problems.
    If you are a creative cloud subscriber you should additionally install the InDesign version, English with Hebrew support:
    Go to the preferences of you CC.app. It is found behind the Gear Symbols on the top right.
    When the preferences open, go to the Apps section.
    Change the App Language to English with Hebrew support.
    Now you can install it. It will install on the very same place where your InDesign program is found some additional plugins, which will give you access to Hebrew functionality, like RTL text. Otherwise you will inherit in the document (and where you copy and paste it from such a document into another one). But now you can change or repair problems.
    Now repeatstep 1 + 2, but you need not to install your own language again. InDesign will now, when started, run in the language of your OS (when you have it installed in that language) but with more functionality to handle problems with Hebrew documents.
    The same steps you would have to do with Arabic or Asian documents. These languages will also add more plugins. But keep it limitted to those language you need. I have installed it that way, because I get sometime documen where the text flows the wrong direction or the numbers come up in Farsi digit, not in Arabic digits. For such purposes I need versions in languages I don’t understand myself.

    I am not aware of a way except for photos that allows you to select multiple files in an email. I even checked settings in the Adobe Reader app, and it does not show that ability.

  • SSIS question - Email the results of the table in pipe delimited format to the users

    I am new to SSIS and I have a requirement.  I have a sales table that has transactions for all months.  I am trying to automate the process which involves following steps:
    I need to query the table based on previous month.
    Email the results of the table in pipe delimited format to the users.
    What I am currently doing:
    I created a temp table and load the query results in it every month by truncating the previous month’s data.  Saved the query results in excel format. Open the excel and save it in csv format. Use SSIS package to convert csv to txt format and email
    them manually with the txt file name as “Salesresults_<previousmonth>.
    I just want to automate this process but the main challenge comes up with email with txt attached. Please help me out.

    First create a SSIS variable(@[User::Path]) that store folder path as "C:\Test".
    Select the "Expression" tab in Send Mail Task Editor and select the appropriate property(FileAttachments) and assign the below expression.
    @[User::Path] + "\\Salesresults_" + (DT_WSTR, 10) MONTH( GETDATE() ) + (DT_WSTR, 10) YEAR( GETDATE() ) + ".txt"

  • Safari was very slow in opening up Google sites.  I found a discussion thread that suggested changing the "Configure IPv6" setting to "Off" in the System Preferences, Network, Advanced, TCP/IP section.  That seems to work well.  Are there any risks?

    Nope. You can always reverse that if you choose.
