J2me textfields layout - layout

I have 3 textfields for a date in a midlet(in order to combine dots and numbers). Two of them accept 2 digits, that last one 4 digits(year). How can I place them into one row?
EDIT: maybe there's some kind of container for them?

I found the solution - every textfield should have layout Item.LAYOUT_2

Conditional border creation for excel based on length of text

Okay so I've spent some time digging through stack overflow other various websites, I'm not even sure this is possible but here's the example.
I have an excel sheet with quite a bit of information, in column A there are various types of information however I specifically only want the cells that have #####-###.
The issue is that the other users will sometimes replace the last 3 digits with question marks and similarly, when adding the dash it doesn't treat it as a number it's considered general format...
Like I said I maybe have the number 60613-555, then right below it part numbers/names etc, so I only want that cell with the project number to have the top line border...
Use this as the rule:
=ISNUMBER(SEARCH("????-???",$A1))
And apply it to the columns desired:

Sorting alphanumerically in Excel

I've changed the column to text a couple of different ways, but still cannot get the numbers with alpha to sort correctly. The three all number and four alpha numeric entries are sorting correctly. Anyone have a solution they can offer up? Thanks!

How to count the occurences of a value per a unique identifier in excel?

The first column is the project number and the columns after that are the applications that are impacted by each project (quick example made up). My question I want to solve is how many projects are in a application?
The problem is I can't count it by a specific text string because the data is not all consistent. If I put a wild card for a specific string, it will count those apps who may contain that text or letters. There is not a uniqueness in the naming convention. Also, the data set is too large to manually convert every instance of an application to be the exact same. Replace all won't be able to replace all the different instances of how an app is spelled, cap differences, or # of spaces without manually changing the values to be consistent. For example, pink white is the same as Pink White, pink White, Pink white, etc.
Please help or ideas to help minimize manually clean up.

How to take some characters in a big text in excel

I have in my excel one column that describe one apartment to sell, I want just one information in that column : the number of meters square. I want to know that exist one formula that take x characters inside that description. for example: "Apartmento to sell, 45 m², 2 rooms, 4 bathrooms....." I want the 45 number without I having to look every single line.
Find the position of m²
=FIND("m²",A1,1)
Take the left of the text (cell) and your number should be at the end
=LEFT(A1,FIND("m²",A1,1)-1)
If it always start with Apartmento to sell, 45 m², 2 rooms, 4 bathrooms
=TRIM(REPLACE(LEFT(A1,FIND("m²",A1,1)-1),1,19,""))
If the format is similar for all rows, then do Text to Columns (under the Data tab) and specify the delimiter as a Comma. Then, your second column will only have apartment dimensions
This works regardless of anything else, so long as there are at least two commas in each entry, and the dimensions are always between the first two commas.

How to change columns in a plot with shortcuts

I am working on Microsoft Excel 2013 scatter plots and I'd like to know if there is a more productive way to do this:
Let's say I have a big database with several columns and rows, i.e:
A B C D
1 Length Width Volume Area
2 2 1 8 4
3 3 2 7 1
4 1 5 3 5
5 7 3 12 6
I create a scatter plot for Volume vs Length. After, I want to create another scatter plot for Area vs Width. As I have a lot of rows and columns, I copy the first plot and then, in select data, I change the range of data (A to B and C to D). Is there an efficient way to do this? (shortcuts with arrows keys, maybe? I didn't find them) or Do I have to change the letters manually?
Thank you.

If this is a repetitive task in the sense that every say Friday you create the same 4 graphs based on new information in the same columns then you could record a macro of what you are doing and associate it with keyboard short cuts.
You can do the same thing with updating the graph information but it starts getting a little more complex when you start changing which column number you want as the series. But its definitely possible. I would recommend recording a macro of you editing the 2-3 graphs so we can sheet patterns and we can probably help you edit the macro.
Now something simpler that may, and I stress may, suit your needs. Select A1 to D5, then insert you XY scatter plot. You X axis which should be common to all needs to be in the left most column. When you go to edit your source data you should see each series listed. You can simply check and uncheck which series you would like to have active. the ones with a check mark will display. If you needed three graphs at the same time, you could then copy and paste the graphs twice and set up each one to your desire without having to reselect the data range, you would just check/uncheck which series to display
