Its really nice to see Microsoft is embracing C# and Mac now! Ive lost interest up until lately because I've been more focused on a Mac client and I have an iPhone. I'm a MCSE 2003 certified IT pro since 2004 but the past few years I've been leaning towards Mac as my desktop environment. Visual studio for mac 2017 tutorial. I self taught myself how to program Windows / Console apps in Visual Studio 2005 which was revolutionary at the time with.NET 2.

I am presently working in 'Numbers' with a transferred 'Excel' file. I needed to merge a previously split cell. After doing so I noticed that the vertical cell dividing line is not perfectly lined up (however so slight) with the rest of the columns. I also noticed that 'Numbers' has created a new column but it is almost impossible to either 'slide' open the width of the column or to delete it. Is there a way to prevent these 'new column creations' or to be able to delete them and still retain the new vertical cell border? Thank you gaucho10. Yvan, I have a tax filing spreadsheet with 4 columns ('A' Date, 'B' Description, 'C' Rich, 'D' Janice).

On the date column (A) I place the date of the transaction.simple. On Column 'B' I write down a description of what it is that I/we paid for. As an example, last year my wife Janice bought a new car so I put the vehicle cost under her name in column 'D'. On several occasions it is necessary for me to include the price of an item under both of our names. As an example we both pay for things such as electricity, fuel, television, etc. In these cases I would like to place the cost amount under both column 'C' and 'D' to show that we both paid. That keeps us from arguing, thus we have a happy marriage (smile).

To split cells in Excel, just select the merged cell, click the dropdown arrow next to Merge & Center, and click on Unmerge Cells: The cells will go back to their original count and size. You’ll still only have the data from the upper-left corner of your selection, though.

In order to put that single cost under both columns ('C' and 'D') I usually merge the cells so that the amount shows directly in the center of columns 'C' and 'D'. Sometimes I have to change these merged cells and split them so that I can enter two different figures for 'cost'.

Such is the case this year when my wife retired and now I have to pay for some of the items alone. I was able to do just that with my previous 'Excel' program. The problem is that when I try to re-split the merged cells ('C' and 'D') with 'Numbers' the program created a new column. The results are as follows: I still have column 'A' with no problem.

I still have column 'B' with no problem. I still have column 'C' with no problem.

But now I have column 'D' as a very thin line and all the information from column 'D' has been located in column 'E'. The top bar where I can drag and stretch the widths of the columns is ok for 'A, B, C and E' but I can not stretch column 'D' which is only about 1 mm wide. Also the vertical line that separates cell 'C' and 'E' is slightly off center (possibly because of the compressed column 'D'. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ I I I I I I I A I B I C I I E I I I I I I I ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- On the above diagram the double vertical lines shows the location and approximate size of the 'D' column with the new 'E' column following. I hope this explains my predicament.

I then attempted to do all those switches which I previously mentioned and they all worked out fine. The Excel file did not 'truly' transfer.
