Chart Expert - Why are some formula fields not available?

I have a report where I had to do Running Totals with formulas.  Following what I learned long ago from the documentation, I laid in my formulas, and then setup some "Display" formulas to print out the results at the end of my report.
Now I am adding a chart to show a sort of 'summarized' version of the report - its a simple Pie chart...
But when I go into the Chart Expert and want to select those Display formula fields (there are 4 of them) - they do not appear in the list?
FYI - These four Display formulas are in the Report Footer of the report, and my chart is in the Report Header. 
Why do some of my formula fields appear in the Chart Expert "select field" list - while others do not?
I checked the documentation on this, but it is very "lite" and does not indicate why this might be...
Any help is most appreciated!

Read again -  "Problem has been circumvented" NOT "worked around".  In other words, when you pay a fortune for a poorly documented piece of software and you are dependent on answers from a Forum, where at times no one answers your question(s) and your boss is shouting at you as to how you selected such a lousy piece of software with such "lite" documentation and is hardly going to pay any more money for a support call to answer a simple question that should have been covered (and then some) in the documentation, (let alone support of the problem) - you CIRCUMVENT, i.e. give up and find some other way to do what you were trying to do.
Hence, problem circumvented, NOT worked around.
Thanks for asking - here's 10 points for your efforts.

  • Why are some font styles not available in the Typewriter function?

    I would like to use Arial Narrow Bold, however it is not listed. I do have this font style in C:\Window\Fonts but it does not show up when I use they typewriter function. I am able to use this font style in Adobe when in the forms field. Is there a way to update the fonts available for the Typewriter?
    Thanks for any advice!

    I don't have a good answer other than the typewriter functionality was for basic typing, not for fancy topography work. For the latter, you should go back to the original document and do it with a tool designed for that purpose.

  • Why are Saved 3D cameras not available in other 3D spaces?

    I have created a 3D camera setting and saved it as a custom "View". When I open a different 3D object my saved camera view is not available, why?
    PS CC, MacOS 10.7.5.

    It won't work on bitmapped graphics like Photoshop documents.  You need vector graphics like Illustrator documents.  And just putting the psd into Illustrator won't work: you need real vectors.
    Now, you could engage in a bit of trickery by using the photoshop document for the face, and the edge of the graphic (filled in) built in Illustrator for the extrusion.
    Expect very long render times.  Ray tracing is a bear, and that's no joke.

  • Why are some iCloud services not syncing with my Mac?

    iCloud seems to be syncing just fine between my iPhone 4S (AT&T 4G) (iOS 5.1.1) and my iPad 2 (Wi-Fi + 3G) (iOS 5.1.1), but not with my MacBook Air (Late 2010) (Mountian Lion 10.8.1). Here's a list of iCould services that I've noticed are and are not working:
    iCloud mail (@me.com) and Gmail syncs and updates on my computer sometimes. (I get that these might be seperate issues. I think I need to change the "port" on one or both – suggestions?).
    Exchange email syncs and updates on my computer most of the time.
    Notes syncs and updates on my computer never.
    Photo Stream has stopped updating and syncing on my computer altogether (worked for the first few weeks and not for the past few weeks).
    iMessage synced with my computer and phone before Mountian Lion released (that is, all incomming iMessages sent to my Apple ID would be recieved at my phone and computer), but I don't think it's worked since.
    iCal, Contacts, and Reminders seem to update and sync on my computer all of the time.
    Because they're all iCloud services I want to think there is a one common problem – which is why I've created only one thread. But because they are not common to all services, I'm guessing it might be a case by case basis.
    Of course I should state all iCloud services are turned on for all devices and computer, and I am using the same Apple ID for them all. Also, all devices/computer are connected to internet via Wi-Fi/4G pretty much all the time. Finally, it's possible there are other issues I've missed—although it seems unlikely since I use them all, all the time)—I think this is a pretty good representation of my problems.
    Thanks for your help!!

    For photo stream, if the source of the photos is an iOS device, be sure the photo app used to take the picture has been turned off, not just sleeping.
    Have you rebooted the computer?  The router?

  • Why are some inbox messages not appearing in Mail on multiple macs and other devices?

    My partner and I have an iMac at home and one at work.  We also have two iPhones and two iPads.  We only have a couple email accounts each and two for work set up on all six Mail applications.  For some reason inbox messages are not appearing consistantly on all six devices.  For example, I can have a new message from my Mom, see it at home and on my iPhone, but not on the iMac at work.
    Also, some messages I'd like deleted off my work iMac since they're personal, but I'd like them kept on my home iMac and iPhone.  Is this possible?  Is it possible to delete a message on one and have it deleted on all others?
    Message was edited by: witboy

    What type of email accounts are they? IMAP or POP.
    IMAP leaves messages on the server so you can get them from everywhere.
    With POP, messages are downloaded to your client and then removed from the server, depending on your settings.
    The iDevice setup for POP doesn't remove them from the server.
    I think Mail's default setup for POP is to remove immediately.
    If they are POP accounts, you can set Mail's preferences to leave messages on the server for a period of time so that you can retrieve them on multiple clients.

  • Why are some web pages not loading fully or at all in chrome?

    I just updated to 10.6.8 half an hour ago, and I tried watching videos on youtube, using google chrome. The first thing that I noticed is that the page turns completely transparent, invisible. I can see the toolbar, web adress bar and bookmarks bar, but everything else is invisible, with just a semi-transparent line marking the border of the would be. I then tried loading up a video in my history, to see if it was just the main page with this issue. When I loaded up a video, any video, the player itself would be transparent but the rest of the window and it's contents were visible, and I could still hear the audio stream from the video that should have been playing.
    It happened again when I came here, some of the support links I opened would only be visible if I opened them within the same tab, if I tried to open them in a new tab they would also turn invisible. What's causing this and how do I fix this?

    Most YouTube content requires the Flash plugin. Uninstall then reinstall the plugin.

    If that doesn't help, try deleting Flash cookies.

  • Why are web developer tools not available on Firefox for Android?

    I do some freelance web design. I just replaced my laptop with a tablet last year (Samsung Galaxy 10.5 S). I want to do web development on it - I work from a terminal doing Ruby on Rails and web development all the time. It would be awesome to have the F12 developer tools handy in Firefox for Android, but sadly I've waited for a while and there is no indication they will ever appear.
    Do NOT suggest using a remote debugger - I'm not testing the layout of pages on my tablet, I want to be able to profile, view source (without an add-on) and such. I have seen this exact question marked closed by suggesting remote debugging, and I fail to see how telling me to use my tablet next to a laptop or desktop is a solution. Telling me to carry a second device means I don't need the tablet at all, when my intention is to ONLY use the tablet.
    My tablet has a huge screen resolution and a powerful processor - more powerful than some laptops? Why is Firefox for Android neutered? I would understand disabling it by default to help those with less powerful devices, but why remove something that would add a competitive edge to your product, and is already integrated in desktop Firefox and has been for years? I prefer Firefox, but if Chrome adds web developer tools for Android first, I'll switch to Chrome.
    There are people today using a tablet as their sole computing device. Please do not relegate us to a second-class Firefox experience!
    Thanks,
    Ryan

  • Why are CS5 student products not available as downloads?

    Does anyone know why preordering a Creative Suite CS5 student version in the educational store can not be delivered as a download? (Downloads are available in the ordinary store)?
    Christopher

    Probably because of the required eligibility checks. But it may be a lot nicer to have the physical media in hand. Makes it a lot easier to reinstall after a disk failure or corrupt installation.

  • Why are some TV seasons only available for purchase "by episode only"???

    Hello,
    I'm just wonderng why certain seasons of certain shows (most often the first season) are only available for purchase by episode and not the whole season...????

    That content owner in Canada is currently Superchannel.  So you can either pay them $19 per month, or else you can boycott them until they do release SOA to iTunes.  I have opted for the latter.

  • FCP 7.0.3 why are my fonts suddenly not available?

    Hi I'm hoping someone has an answer to this:
    I just purchsed a new MacPro 8-Core and installed Final Cut Studio (FCP 7) on Lion
    It had been working fine, I had a system issue where tried to fix by providing rights to sub-folders and since I did that I have been having huge problems trying to get the Mac running again. One of which happens to be that the fonts which were accessible in FCP prior to the issue are now no longer available. in fact I had a huge collection all accessible. these are all gone. The same goes for Motion and the templates I try to open and use in Final Cut.
    Does anypne have a clue as to why this happened and, more importantly, how can I get my fonts back??
    thx
    fj
    PS. I have gone into font book and made sure all fonts are activated.

    Thx all for your help. I tried all of it. A friend suggested what Brad suggested:
    When I created a new user I found that the fonts were once again appearing as they should/were originally in both FCP and Motion. It seems that that one move to assign the rights to subfolders in my user account corrupted all of the font files. Regardless of having tried all of the various ways to fix the system caches and pref files nothing worked to get my user account and the admin account back to normal.
    But here's something I didn't expect and maybe it will save someone the hours i wasted. After I created a new account and assigned admin rights, I was still having problems with launching my Adobe applications: "Error 150:30 Licensing has stopped working..." So I uninstalled my entire Creative Suites apps and reinstalled them. This fixed it for the new user account.
    But get this: when I went back to the old "corrupt" user account, it was now working again also! Including FCP and Motion and all of the word processing and Adobe apps. I've been editing on them all day and knock on woodhead it all works perfectly again.

  • Why are my purchased tunes not available on authorised computers?

    I have 4 authorised computers, and downloaded a purchased CD from iTunes when I was in Victoria (4000 kms away). Now home in Queensland, I can't access this music, or even see it in my list of purchased music. My 'purchased' list wrongly shows it as being my entire playlist.
    Help please.

    Thanks for replying, but I would have thought that having authorised computers would mean that I could access the purchased items from any of those computers. Otherwise, what is the point of authorising them in the first place?
    Does anyone else agree with this?
    And no, I haven't done anything that tricky with an iPod - I don't have one.

  • Disc Burner. Why are some files not readable or writeable?

    Hello,
    I am trying to backup my friends computer files on a beige G3 (233 MHz). I am burning about 6 DVDs of AIF music files. Most of the files are about 30 - 40 Megs in size. Often I receive error messages on particular files that read:
    "The operation cannot be completed because some data cannot be read or written.
    (Error code - 36)"
    Followed by the choices: "Stop" or "Continue".
    I have a bad feeling that my startup disk is too small but I am not sure.
    Most of the files work fine. However some of the files cause disc burner to not be able to use them in the disc image before I burn. Why would this be?
    Here are the specifications:
    Computer: beige G3 with two hard drives (one SCSI and one ATA hard drive) and a Pioneer DVR-110D DVD writer which is Apple supported (Apple system profiler indicates Apple supported on this DVD writer). My blank DVD disks are Sony Vermatim DVD-R (1 - 16x speed support). Although I think my beige G3 only writes them at about 2 or 4x.
    I am using OS 10.1.5. My startup disk which has OS 10.1.5 in it is a 4 GIG SCSI disk. Is this big enough for a startup disk (for creating 4.5 GIG DVDs)? My files are on the second hard drive which is a 40 GIG ATA disk.
    I have a bad feeling that my OSX startup drive is too small for disk burning - it is only 4 GIGs in total and OSX Disc burner (Disc copy) is first making a disk image on my startup volume before it burns it. Perhaps that disk image is too large for the startup volume. Is there any way I could ask OSX to put this disk image on the second larger hard drive instead (not the startup drive?).
    Here is my process (I hope I am doing this right - I am new at this):
    1. I first insert a blank DVD-R
    2. A message pops up asking my if I would like to create a blank disc image for this disk (I think this is the typical Disk Copy utility window. I say "yes" and give it a name and choose the "DVD-R or DVD-RAM" option. (I am not sure if there are other important settings to choose here or better settings to use but I guessed the other options that seemed obvious. A blank disk image is created with an icon that looks like a DVD disk.
    3. Then I drag my chosen files to this blank disc image. It takes about 30 minutes to copy over. Thats when I receive the error message that some files couldn't be "read or written". The other files work fine but it would be nice if they all worked.
    Why would some files not be readable or writeable?
    4. Then I choose file/burn in the top menu and the DVD is created. This takes another 20 - 30 minutes. At the very end of the process another message pops up saying:
    "Sorry the operation could not be completed because an unexpected error occured (error code -28)" Followed by an "OK" button.
    However all the files that made it onto the final DVD are fine - its just that its not all of the ones I originally chose in the first step when dragging to create the disk image.
    Am I doing this the right way?
    Why are some files not "readable or writeable" as it indicates in the error message?
    Is my 4 GIG startup disk too small for this? or are the music files possibly corrupt? or could there be some other possible problem?
    Thanks

    To follow up, I have some good news. After following your advice Kappy, it now works very well Thanks! Instead of using the 4 GIG volume for the OS, I am now using an 8 GIG partition on an 80 GIG drive. So now the OS has some room to operate. No disk errors occured on my first DVD
    Now there was one problem. The second DVD burned gave me an error. I am not sure why but I am going to guess that because I had to installed the OS onto an 8 GIG partition maybe the OS needs to be rebooted in between disk burns because although 8 GIGs is certainly greater than the 4 GIGs I gave it last time, it still isn't a lot of space - maybe just enough to do one DVD at a time. Thats only a guess. So I rebooted to see if that clears the system out ready for the next DVD and I am trying to burn the second DVD again. If I remember I will report back. In any case, yes, this seems to be working. I hope this second DVD burns well too.
    Thanks Kappy
