Is it possible to put new line character in cell format code?
For example to have week day name under the date in the same cell?
Instead of a format code, use a formula. Either enter CHAR(10), or press Ctrl+Enter in a different cell and then reference that cell in the formula.
=TEXT(TODAY(), "DD-MMM-YYYY") & CHAR(10) & TEXT(WEEKDAY(TODAY()),"DDDD")

Be sure that the row is tall enough to show both lines.

Is it possible to display the column position of the cursor within a Fast Colored Textbox? I assume so, as there is an example of a "horizontal ruler" with the FCTB files, but would prefer a simple display of the current column for the cursor in lieu of the ruler.
I have an odd situation that I haven't been able to find an answer to. In Power Query, my custom columns have suddenly developed an apostrophe before the field name.
[
The code line is below, which doesn't include any tick marks and the field is formatted as dates so not sure where this is coming from. I tried deleting the apostrophe manually once the results loaded in Excel, but wasn't successful (delete apostrophe, hit enter, return to cell and it's still there). Any ideas?
"Added Custom" = Table.AddColumn(#"Changed Type3", "Renewal_Date", each Date.EndOfMonth([DATE_MATURITY_NEXT]))
There is no apostrophe in the field name. You are loading the results into a table on the excel sheet, and that is how it displays left-aligned text in the formula bar. Try formatting the cell as right-aligned and the display will show "Renewal_Date; with center alignment formatting will show ^Renewal_Date
See prefix section of excel documentation
Text value corresponding to the "label prefix" of the cell. Returns single quotation mark (') if the cell contains left-aligned text, double quotation mark (") if the cell contains right-aligned text, caret (^) if the cell contains centered text, backslash () if the cell contains fill-aligned text, and empty text ("") if the cell contains anything else.
I am looking for a way to add default or constant value to a column in macOS Numbers?
When I want to create a new row based on previous row I should always copy and paste the values after adding which is a bit annoying.
It seems to be possible, a bit tricky though
add an initial value to column
add in the next row formula referencing cell above it
copy this formula to below cell using dragging (is's important)
now when you duplicate row (via popup menu, sorry I have Russian Numbers) or increasing table height you'll get automatically copied values
I am creating a big table with MigraDoc.
I have two issues I don't know how to solve exactly:
If the content (Paragraph) of a cell is too long it breaks and I got 2 lines in my cell. I don't want this behavior. I want that the text which does not fit in the first line of the cell is hidden.
If a word is too long I want also that the characters which are outside of the cell are hidden. Now they are displayed in the next cell :/ and are overlapping with the content of the next cell...
Do you know how to fix this issues?
This behavior is by design.
Use MeasureString to measure your text before you add it and truncate at the correct place (maybe adding "..." if you want).

In Excel 2011 Mac (it seems to be important since other referenced solutions in stackoverflow for excel windows or mac older versions don't seem to work).
I want to apply conditional formatting so when a cell in column D includes a word "student" the full row which includes the cell gets a color format (blue color for the text white/empty filling for the cell).
I have tried INDIRECT and some other formulas but I don't get it right. Only the cell that includes the word gets the formatting, not the whole row (that is, the rest of the cells on the same row where the pattern matches).
Admittedly, this answer is based on the Windows version but it should still work for you.
(Pictures taken from mix of Windows and Mac versions where possible.)
Select Manage Rules... from the Conditional Formatting menu.
Click the New Rule... button.
Select Use a formula to determine which cells to format, enter the formula as shown below, and then click the Format... button to choose your conditional format (blue text with no fill).
- You said you were looking for the word "student" in column D, and I have assumed that row 3 is the first row that you want this conditional formatting to be applied. Just change the 3 to another row number if this is not the case.
If the word "student" is not the only thing in your target cell, then use the following formula instead:
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("student",$D3))
Then type a range into the Applies to textbox as shown.
- In this example, we assume that row 3 is the first row and row 400 is the last row that you want the conditional formatting to be applied to.
- Note that we did not include column letters in the formula since we want every column of each row to be included.
Click OK and you should be done.
I hope this works for you.
Follow these steps for conditional formatting.
Step 1 - Select Conditional Formatting > New Rule...
Step 2 - Select Style Dropdown
Step 3 - Choose Classic
Step 4 - Select Dropdown with Format only top or bottom ranked values
Step 5 - Select from Dropdown Use a formula to determine which cells to format
Step 6 - Highlight desired Cells and take note of the current cell. (D3)
Step 7 - Use formula: =MATCH("Student",D3,0) in the formula section. Again, D3 is the current cell.
Step 8 - Press OK
