A chart in Numbers causing crashes

A chart in Numbers is causing Numbers to slow down & stutter when it is seleced or edited. The memory is eventually depleted and Numbers crashes. I'm using Numbers 2008 1.0.3. This chart is pulling info from formulas in a large table. That table is pulling infor from several smaller charts. This is odd to me and it is the first time I have had this problem. I have restart Numbers & the MBP. In both cases, the memnory is returned the same & I restart. The file is fine for a good while unless I start messing with that chart. Then, the free memory excellerates it's disappearing act & Numbers crashes. I will pay closer attention to the wired, active, & inactive. I use iStat to follow this stuff. What could be causing the memory disappearing act & the crashing? It's just a chart. I did see other posting about memory loss for Numbers 2009, but nothing within a year or that really addressed my issue.

There are only 4 lines with 50 points or less in each line. Maybe my definition of large isn't so large.
I didn't upgrade to Numbers 2009, because it came out so quick that I thought it wouldn't have many changes & I thought another update would come out. I have been waiting for the next update ... and waiting. I'm surprised it has taken this long & am guessing that another should be out any time, now. It has been 5 years and Numbers is missing some seemingly simple features like scatter plots & linear equations.
What would b the advantage of upgrading to Numbers 2009 that would be worth it & how would it eliminate this glitching and crashing?

Interval 0 of Line Numbering cause crash

In this example, if set Interval of Line Numbering as 0, the program cause StarSuite8/Linux on FreeBSD 6-STABLE crash.
Is this related to FreeBSD? Although OpenOffice.org 2.0 on FreeBSD doesn't crash...

Numbers keeps crashing everytime when i start working on a worksheet

Since a few days Numbers keeps crashing when i start to work on a worksheet. And it doesn't matter if it's a template or a empty screen. I keep sending the reports to Cupertino.

I am also experiencing this problem since yesterday on two computers. I know exactly what caused the problem to start happening, because I replicated it on the second computer. Now I have to figure out how to fix it.
For the record, in case the iWork engineering team is watching:
1. I opened a Numbers document from iCloud.
2. I attempted to Duplicate that document by pressing Shift-Command-S.
3. The progress bar dialog appeared saying that it was duplicating the document, but the progress bar just got stuck. After an hour it was still there. Numbers had obviously hung.
4. I force-quit Numbers by option-control-clicking on its icon in the Dock.
5. Ever since, Numbers crashes on startup with the following message in the crash log:
*** Terminating app due to uncaught exception 'NSInvalidArgumentException', reason: '-[SFUDateFormat decimalPlaces]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x10014020'
6. I deleted all Numbers preference files from the Preferences folder. It didn't help.
7. I turned off Document & Data syncing in iCloud. It didn't help.
8. Opening the same document on another machine and repeating above caused the exact same thing to happen. It appears that there was some corruption about that document that caused Duplicate to fail. Immediately previously to this problem, I had Duplicated several other documents and saved them successfully.
The problem with Numbers is isolated to the user account I was using when I force quit the application. Numbers continues to work fine on other user accounts on the same machine.
Now I'm off to try a few solutions to get Numbers working again.

How can I display a specified row from a chart in a 2nd chart in Numbers?

I have a chart in Numbers '09, which contains tasks with their due dates. This chart is rather large and is divided into several categories (i.e. home, work, taxes, etc.). Each row in the chart has a task name and due date in addition to other information in columns. Since it has many tasks and they are divided into categories, it's difficult to check what tasks are due this week. I have been trying to add a small chart to display only the task name and due date from all categories due in the next 10 days.
I assume I should add a chart in the work sheet and use some string of functions to find tasks due this week, and copy them to the 2nd chart. If someone could suggest a string of functions, or tell me an easier way to do this I would be grateful.
Jim

Hi Jim,
Welcome to Apple Discussions and the Numbers '09 forum.
Using the correct vocabulary would make your request much easier to read. A "chart" in Numbers is a bar graph, a line graph, or a pie chart.
What you're referring to as a "chart" is a "table."
So:
You have a table listing tasks and their due dates, plus other information (presumably all separate columns).
You want a separate table listing only those tasks whose due date falls within the next ten days.
Here are two ways to make those tasks stand out. The first uses conditional formatting to change the fill colour of the Date cells on the first table; the second uses an index and VLOOKUP to transfer the urgent tasks to a second table.
The conditional formatting rules shown are applied to all cells in column A. Dates within 5 days of "today" (January 13, 2011 in the example) get a red fill and white type; dates within 10 days a yellow fill.
The same rules, with effective periods reduced to 2 and 4 days, are applied to dates in the Urgent table below.
Here a column is added to the left of what was column A to hold an index created by the formula below, entered into the new cell A2 and filled down to the bottom of that column. As noted in the header cell, this column may be hidden.
=IFERROR(IF(DATEDIF(TODAY(),B,"D")<11,DATEDIF(TODAY(),B,"D")+ROW()/10000,66000), 66000)
The formula provides a unique numerical value in each row where the date is less than 11 days from today, and a large fixed value in rows where the date is before today or more than 10 days away.
On the second table, "Urgent" the formula below, entered in A2 and filled down the full column and right to column B transfers the dates and tasks due within ten days from the table "All tasks" in order of 'days to complete,' with the earliest ones at the top of the list.
=IF(SMALL(All tasks :: $A,ROW()-1)<66000,VLOOKUP(SMALL(All tasks :: $A,ROW()-1),All tasks :: $A$2:$C$21,COLUMN()+1,FALSE),"")
Descriptions of all the functions used, including examples, may be found in the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide. Details on Conditional formatting may be found in the Numbers '09 User Guide. Both guides may be downloaded through the Help menu in Numbers '09. Both are recommended.
Regards,
Barry

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

How do I change the line color in a chart in Numbers on my iPad?

Whenever I try to shift+direct select it thinks I want to move the line, so as I shift + direct select and drag my mouse across the line (to highlight it all) it moves a chunk of the line and turns it into a near perpendicular line.
I found the appearance window, it just says "Path" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Stroke" 4pt
"Fill" (the color I want it to be that it's not)
"Opacity": Default
And some other buttons. I think I'll try the help line tomorrow, I know I saw a customer service number somewhere and I'm only here because the chat was unavailable. This is only one of my 3 problems with my assignment so I'll search here for answers to the other two. Learning new things is rarely fun.

Photoshop CS4 and graphic cards. Can cause crashing?

Since upgrading to CS4 I seem to have increased crashing.
Here are my system specs.
Mac 2 x 2.66 GHz Dual-Core Intel Xeon
9 GB of Ram
250 GB internal dedicated scratch disc
NVDIA GeForce 7300 GT with 256 VRAM
After having endless techs look at my machine and upgrading everything. I am beginning to suspect the graphics card.
With OpenGL can a underperforming video card cause crashing in photoshop especially with massive file sizes ( multilayered CMYK poster sized files the can exceed 7 GB)?

Did you install the 11.0.1 update?
Is your OS up to date with patches?
Have you tried disabling OpenGL in preferences to avoid using the GPU/Graphics card?

Trying to link a chart from Numbers to Pages

"To update a linked chart in Keynote or Pages:
Make sure that the Numbers spreadsheet containing the updated chart is saved. In Keynote or Pages, select the chart and click the Refresh button."
Where is the Refresh button, please? It may be really obvious but I can't find it. Thanks

Hi procrastina,
fruhulda's comments motivated me try this. Please follow this from the Pages'09 User Guide:
Updating a Chart Copied from a Numbers Document If you’ve created a chart in Numbers, you can copy it and paste it into your Pages document. After it’s been pasted into Pages, the chart remains linked to the data tables it references in Numbers. To change the chart data, open the original Numbers document and edit the data there, save the Numbers document, and then refresh the chart data in Pages.
To update a chart after you’ve updated its linked Numbers table:
Select the chart on the page and click the Refresh button that appears.
Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that the chart references.
Repeat,
Note: You must save the Numbers document before copying and pasting your chart into your Pages document and after editing the Numbers data tables that the chart references.
Then you will see the Refresh buttton (recycle arrows to the right of your chart in Pages):

Ian.
P.S. In Australia and UK, we call that a graph, not a chart.

Interactive Charts in Numbers 3.0

I've read the help here but thus far haven't figured out how to use the new interactive charts that made their debut in Numbers 3.0. For me sliders don't slide and buttons don't push. So I'm "missing something." Well, actually, it seems I'm missing everything.
Ian gave an interesting example of an interactive chart created in Numbers 2.3. But these new ones in 3.0 (I think) are supposed to do something new.
Has anyone figured them out? If so, how-to examples and use cases (what would one use them for) would be much appreciated.
SG

Hi Arthur,
Well that turned out to be really easy! I added columns, chose the cells in the table, Chart>Interactive Chart and Numbers set up a chart with a slider that cycles through the rows (or columns, via the Plot Columns as Series/Plot Rows as Series switcher at lower left after clicking Edit Data References). Here I get eight different views on the data without an extra lookup table or a formula.
Not sure about the default colors, but this is convenient. And great for displaying data on an iPad to show people rather than printing out a whole bunch of different charts. Thanks!

Problem: chart-legend (numbers) doesn't copy into Keynote

I have some charts from numbers (imported xls-files) that i want to copy into a keynote-presentation.
The chart can be pasted into the presentation, but the chart-legend never shows up.
I've tried selecting and copying the chart and the chart-legend but that doesn't work. Copying only the chart-legend also doesn't work.
Can somebody help me out here?
thanks,
jojo

For some reason, you need to Arrange > Group your Chart and Legend before Copying if you want them to stay together. Not sure why this is so, but the fix works.
My guess is:
when we copy paste without leaving a given program, we use a structure of the clipboard defined by the program itself. This structure gives the ability to copy paste different kinds of objects.
For instance, if we copy a chart and its legend in Numbers and paste in a different location in a Numbers document, which may be a different one, we paste the chart and the legend.
When we leave the source program to a enter a different program, if the proprietary clipboard format of this program is different than the source one, the clipboard's contents is "normalized" to match the destination program's requirements. When we pass from Numbers to Keynote, a clipboard containing a chart and a legend is normalized as a graphic object.
If we try to paste in a TextEdit document formatted as a Text one we will get nothing.
If we paste in a Textedit document formatted as RTF, we will get the chart.
My hope is
(a) that the iWork team build a proprietary clipboard structure common to the different components of the suite. I feel that this may be done.
(b) that the operating system is able to transfer the proprietary clipboard components between two programs using the same. I'm not sure that this requirement is satisfied at this time.

Problems pasting pie chart from Numbers into Pages table

Hello,
I'm trying to paste a pie chart from Numbers into a table cell in Pages 09 but it doesn't allow me. Would you know why?
Thanks,
Pedro

Probably because it is a smart object connected back to the Numbers document.
If you want it purely as a graphic, try copying the chart in Numbers switching to Preview.app and going command n which will make it a pdf file, then copy that and paste that into Pages. But it will no longer be a live chart.

AutoVue viewer caused crash while viewing .XSLX documents.

We use AutoVue Desktop Deployment Viewer incorporated in our application (using JNI). When viewing XLSX (Microsoft Excel) documents on Windows 8.1 x64 system it caused crash of application. It's reproducible only on Windows 8 (8.1 or Server2012) systems. If we set compatibility mode (Windows 7) then problem isn't reproducible.

I would recommend you log a ticket with customer support

Diverging stacked bar chart in Numbers?

Am looking for instructions on how to create a diverging stacked bar chart in Numbers. I can create this type of chart in Excel, but I want to provide the instructions to someone else who uses Numbers. For an example, see figure 3 on this page: http://realnumeracy.wordpress.com/2013/12/11/diverging-stacked-bar-charts/ Thank you in advance!

Create a table where the first row is a header and the first column is a header.
To make a header select the row(or column) then use the contextual menu to convert to a header:
similar procedure for a row.
Enter the data for your chart.
select columns B and C by clicking the column header for column B, then shift-click the column C.
Now select the stacked, horizontal bar chart from the charts menu:

Interactive chart in Numbers

Is it possible to delete bars in an interactive chart in Numbers? The chart part, not the table. In other words, the chart is too wide and I only want 3 bars, not 5.

Illustrating Badunit's point:
Click the chart, then Edit Data References. You will see something like this.
If you want to remove North from the chart you click it either in the chart or the blue dot in the table and hit delete.
As for printing it to pdf, if you don't want the table with it, you could click the chart, command-x to cut, add a new sheet (the big plus sign uper left), and in a new sheet command-v to paste. Then File > Print, select the sheet that has the chart chart, hit Print... lower right, and choose the PDF option lower left.

Is it possible to take a chart from numbers and put it into keynote instead of remaking it in keynote?

Is it possible to take a chart from numbers and put it into keynote instead of remaking it in keynote?

Take a screenshot of the chart and use that in Keynote, if you can't find another way.

CC 2014 (18.1.0) | Text Field editing causing crashes (Windows)

Greetings;
I've noticed lately that when saving files from CC 2014 to a CS6 format - and having those files edited on Mac, in either CS6 or CC - when re-opening those files text fields have been causing crashes on the Windows client. When that same file is opened and text fields are edited on the Mac client, a prompt will just appear stating "Cannot Edit text" - yet it still allows it.
This has caused multiple issues for our teams as it has created files we're starting to refer to as "mine fields" - as working with the .ai file is like playing Russian roulette with text fields, you never know which one is going to crash the file.
I would love to work with a team member from Adobe to help find a resolution to the problem, and I'm willing to provide any additional details that might aid in that process.
Thanks!

Hello Pureweb,
Please upload the crashdumps on some file sharing website say Dropbox and share the link with us by sending a mail to "[email protected]". We will analyze the dump and will suggest you the workaround appropriately.
In parallel, please check that you do not have any 3rd Party plugins installed in it. Please try to remove them one-by-one and see which one causes the crashes or do reverse i.e. remove all the 3rd party plugins. Or Uninstall Ai and check at following location:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Illustrator CC 2014
Please verify that nothing is left at above location on uninstalling Ai. Then try a fresh install and see if Ai works.
Also, verify that you have the updated Wacom drivers on your system. This might be an issue with the 3rd party program as well. One of the user who was having a similar issue reported on the Ai forum that one of the 3rd party Stahl's ImageWorx DTG RIP - a program for printing to a Direct To Garment printer was causing the issue. So, you may check if the similar thing is not happening in your case.
Regards,
Dhirendra
