How to make a whole column have the same text in google sheets - google-slides

I want to have all of the cells in the "subject" column to have the same text as the second cell down. I want to be able to just edit that cell and have all the other cells edited as well without copying and pasting. this is to do mass emails for my business so formatting is essential. screenshot example below. screenshot of example

I found the answer on my own. you type in the cell that you want the text copied into with the coordinates of the one you are copying eg. "=D2" In this case, I used $ symbols so that when I copied it all the way down it would keep the current coordinate. the function ended up being "=$D$2" all the way down the column.

How to edit legend labels in google spreadsheet plots?

I'm trying to plot some data in Google spreadsheet:
And as you may see all of the series are in a same column and I can't use the any of the rows as headers. My plot looks like this:
I would appreciate if you could help me know how I can edit/add legend labels.
Unfortunately I don't think the graphs were intended for your data format.
The only way I've been able to work out how to add a header is by reformatting my data so I have the header at the top of my ranges.
So I suggest you split your data into separate columns so you have;
D2:D4, E2:E4, F2:F4 etc with D1, E1, and F1 as your header and then selecting "Use row 1 as your headers." From the data menu.
Alternatively, you could add labels to the series themselves. Although not ideal, it could be quicker than reformatting your data. On the data menu, click on the three dots of a data series to bring up a menu that allows you to add a label. Unfortunately this needs to be a cell so you'll have to have that header on your sheet some where.
I had the same question this year (2021), and it looks like there's support for it now. In short, you just have to double-click on the empty legend item for the series, and it'll give you a place to put text, directly in the chart.
Here's what my chart looked like (with no series titles):
If you double-click on one, you'll get a small text input area.
Type in your series name and then press enter or click outside of the input area.
Repeat this for each series, and you should be good to go.
I had the same problem because I was selecting only the data I wanted to include in the chart and not the entire table, headers and all. When you create a chart in Google Sheets and you want to use a row or column (or both) as strings that are included in the chart's labeling, you must select the entire table before choosing the Chart command from the Insert menu.
After doing so, you may need to do all or some of the following:
Switch rows/columns if your axes are not correct
Eliminate any rows/columns that you don't want represented by editing the Data Range field in the chart editor
Select Use column A as headers or Use row 1 as headers
You could also potentially use the add labels option when clicking on the 3 dots in the series section:
Double-click on the symbols in your legend, then double-click on the symbol for the series you would like to label; you should be able to directly enter your legend label now. You can do further text formatting using the chart editor on the right.
I took them to a new sheet. first selected only the X-axis and one of the columns that will appear as one. label. In this sheet, I made all the "labels" as a header of the sheet. and added them one by one as a series. and this time it. add them as a label.
obviously this is a workaround and the bug should be fixed :) hopefully.

JAVAFX 8 Chart: get style of existing plotted series

This is a follow up to this question which has to that day still 0 answers.
What I really want to do is having in a tableview, a column that has the symbol for the plotted data corresponding to the objects in the table view row. I have managed to generate the colours supposedly followed by the JavaFX chart. The issue I have of course is that my own colour generation works (it goes back to the first colour without fail after 8 elements), when the one from the chart has the issue outlined in my unanswered question.
So.
I would like now to try to pick up the style actually applied to each series of the chart independently from pre-supposed rule about the default order of colours. How do I do that?
This way I could apply those to my table view and even if the colours randomly change upon reloading then at least I will know what I am looking at.
Thanks in advance for your help.
After a bit of research I found that the following code allows me to get what I want, supposing I am interested in the series at index intitem:
plotswingschart.getData().get(intitem).getNode().getStyleClass();
This will produce a ObservableList containing the following string values (here example for the series at index 8 (9th series)):
chart-series-line
series8
default-color2
From this I can then get the information that I need. that is the colour actually applied to that curve. I can then generate a symbol to be used in my tableview.
I would still be interested in an answer to the question linked, which prompted the present question...

MS Project 2013: Export Single Page & Notes

How can I do following in MS Project 2013:
Gantt Chart export task along with dates in different page. Wish I could export Gantt chart along with dates so could see them in single page.
Can I add Timeline (Start..End Dates) to export?
I have added notes to tasks. How can I export them along with Gantt Chart?
What do you mean by "different pages" and by exporting? I think your question needs to be a bit more clear.
If it is exporting to Excel that you mean then I can suggest the following:
1) Arrange your Gantt-chart view: make sure the desired columns are in place. Remove the ones you are not interested in
2) Execute Ctrl+A or click on the little blank square on the top left of your Gantt-chart (just like how you select all cells in Excel) --> this should select all your tasks
3) On the Ribbon: click Task (if I remember correctly), then click on Outline, so that it expands all indented tasks. Repeat this a few more times (MSP does not expand all indented tasks on all levels immediately)
4) Copy paste the selection to Excel. Depending on the time formatting it is quite possible that you'llneed to convert the copy pasted Start and Finish dates cells in Excel by using the DATEVALUE() function
Despite this being a non-automatic way we tend to use this at times. It does depend on how frequent you need to do this. Based on the frequency and on the type of output you like, it could be a better idea to think about reporting.
Hope this helps.

Php Excel Number Formatting

I have this code to format the cell in number format,
$objPHPExcel->getActiveSheet()
->getStyle($colmun_alpha[$total_head+1].$row_total)
->getNumberFormat()
->setFormatCode('#,##0.00');
The problem is, it is working with other cells but with other cells, it does not work.
It gives me an output of ###### inside the cell. as you can see in the screenshot.
Screenshot here.
I was wondering what seems to be the problem since I used the same code to format other cells as you can see. If you hover in the #### you can see the value but not displaying like others.
Thanks for the help guys.

Dynamically display image in a Sharepoint 2010 list

I want to display image dynamically in a list. I have two columns in a list. The first column contains some numerical values and other contains smiley icon. My requirement is, if number in first column is greater than 50, I want happy smiley to be appear in a second column in a list, and sad smiley for less than 50 number. Currently I use hyperlink column to display image in a list. And I am adding image manualy.
I am looking forward, if it is possible to automatically display image based on first column number. Something like calculated columns. Lets say,
HyperLink/Picture Formula:
column =IF([someNumer]>50, "href = c:\Test\happySmiley.ico", "href= c:\Test\happySad.ico" )
I was wondering if we could do something like this, or any other suggestion is appreciated..
