I need a formula for a cell in table A to reference the last cell value in a table B column C. The table B column currently has lots of blank cells that will have data added to it periodically, and the cell in table A will need to keep updating automatically.
I’ve tried INDEX((C,COUNT(C)), which I saw on an Excel forum, but this didn’t have the desired effect on on my Numbers spreadsheet.

How to automatically update the Formula's Column value when you change the Value in Reference row?
Example:
First Column (A) has Static DATA
I am multiplying Column (A) DATA with Column-B/ Column-C/ Column-D/ Column-E/ Column-F
Column-G has my Formula:
=$A2*B2
I have now created a Reference cell at K2
For Eg:
When I update the K2 cell with the letter D
I want the formula at that Column-G to automatically update as
= $A2*D2
Reference Sheet:

I am not able to figure out how to automatically update the formula based on a reference cell value as I change. Please help.
Try
=$A2*indirect($K$1&row())

I am trying to create a text table in Tableau and I want to replicate this below:
However for some reason when I have the player names as rows and distance as columns, the values are showing up as the column header (see below)
Any suggestions?
Thanks
The method you have shown in your question won't work because this is not how Tableau works.
Tableau will automatically aggregate data based on the Dimensions you add to your sheet.
If you want to have a table where the distance is listed for each player, just add the following two dimensions into the Rows, in this order:
Player Name, Distance
You will still get a third column saying Abc, but this is because of how Tableau works. You can set this Abc to become shapes if it helps make your table more user friendly.
I have one sheet that has a large table of a bunch of names, about twenty rows and thirty columns. On another sheet, I have a smaller table of names, all of which exist in the giant table. How would I set up conditional formatting to highlight a cell if the name it holds appears in the smaller table? I want to avoid an individual formula for each cell because there are about 600 different cells in the large table.
Bad news.
Conditional formatting works only in current Sheet.

I am fairly new to BIRT reports.
In the BIRT reports designer I have added a 2nd row to my table which is binded to a data set. In this 2nd row I want 1 column from my data set to take up the whole row.
So what I did was to add the second row and merge all the columns in that row to form one column. I then added a text field with Dynamic HTML Text.
<VALUE-OF>row["ITEMDESCRIPTION"]</VALUE-OF>
The problem I have is that the data is not taking the whole row. It is being wrapped into only a small section of the row. I must be missing something. Can someone help me with this pls.
I'm attaching both the way the end report looks like and also the screenshot of the set up in the designer.
End Result
Designer (you can see all the rows merged in the second row of the table and in the properties i can see a colspan of 10 for that single column)
thanks
I've found out that the asnwer to this question is to make the field element inline style rather than block and also to check the No Wrapping check box for this field int he designer.
I need to change the orientation of a table in a BIRT report so that the table header is vertical instead of horizontal.
Is this possible? I don't want to use a Crosstab.
It seems this thread is still being pointed at so I posted an example of a horizontal table layout using a crosstab. I know it won't help the original author but others following this thread now may find this helpful.
To create the horizontal grouping, first create your query like normal, then create a Data Cube. In this data cube, drag each field that you want into a group. Then drag a new crosstab on the report and drag each field into the top right column group area. It will create a new header row for each field. Don't put anything in the left side (Rows) and don't put anything in the measure field (bottom-right). This will create labels on the left... and the data will extend out to the right.
The report design example can be downloaded from: http://developer.actuate.com/community/forum/index.php?/files/file/1079-horizontal-table-using-crosstab/

If you want dataset records to be reported across the page, this would have to be done via a crosstab.
If you want dataset records to be reported down the page, this can't be done automatically as far as I know. However, it can be done by inserting a new detail line in your report table object for each database field to be reported, then moving column headings from the heading row into the first column's detail rows and moving record values into the second column's detail rows.
So, for example, a report with 6 columns in it would become a two column report with six detail rows.
Not in box (up to 3.7). You have to use 3'd party libs like that one.
