PowerView - scatter plot with an Equation of the line

Hi guys --here is what I'm trying to accomplish in either powerview or powerpivot : i) a 3d scatterplot, ii) with the axis driven by the data model, iii) with the equation of the line (polynimial, log, power etc) adjusting dynamically.
I can find pieces of it in PP and other pieces in PV. Let me know if you want a visual.
Any help would be greatly appreciated - [email protected] 513-638-0070

Or maybe reply here with the visual. =^)
Thanks!

Xy scatter plot with 2 y axis how to?

I am interested in an making an XY scatter plot with time points as
the x axis, and with 2 different y axis.
As I mentioned, the x axis
will have the different time in min., that the data was collected, and
the 1 y axis would contain a particular measurement of the sample, and
the other (2nd) y axis would contain a different type of measurement
of the same sample. The problem is that I can't see how to do a 2 y
axis XY scatter plot.

Hi Peter,
This is one of the most requested features for the JFreeChart project. It hasn't been added yet, but it is very near the top of the to-do list.

I'm trying to figure out how I can see the equation of the line on the graph I just created. I'm using the OS X Mavericks version of Numbers.

I think what you're looking for is this. Click chart and in the Series tab under Trendlines you select linear and check Show Equation.
Unfortunately you can't move the equation from its initial position the way you could with the old Numbers 2.3.

Scatter plot with dates

The one reason i use scatter plots is to make the X axis my dates. so i see the duration between data points as real distance horizontally. I cannot for the life of me figure out how to do this on the ipad. It seems to not have a way of tweaking the data source so that I can tell it that column B (dates) is my x axis, and column C (lets say remaining data MB's, lets use something everyone on a 250 plan can associate with) is my actual data point to plot.
Anyone figure out this one yet?
Thanks,
Jason

ok, i was able to 'kinda' get it to work (not the labelling, but the scatter plot). It seems you have to select the date column first when selecting data, then drag over to the columns of plotted data and it -might- recognize the dates as the x axis. it took me a good 5 minutes playing to get it to go right.
I also had to check the "Share X values" option under the gear button.
as for the labels, it has a "Number format" and a "Same as source", but if you select same as source, it doesn't give you any choices but plain number for formatting. Same as source doesn't work at all right now for dates.
We both need to submit tickets with apple.com\feedback to let them know. I noticed other little fixes that were not documented in the 1.1 update that people had been submitting tickets on the past few weeks.
Thanks,

Scatter Plot With Multiple Data Series

Hello,
I would greatly appreciate any help you guys could give me.
I need one scatter plot that shows 4 different groups of data. They all go with the same X and Y axis values, though.
I can get a scatter graph with ONE group, but it won't let me add in another one. I tried the clicking and dragging the new cells, and the shift clicking, but the data just will not go into the chart. It's like it doesn't recognize it.
I think I read something about sharing the X values? But I don't know how to do that?
Thanks a ton in advance!!

Pop,
Badunit's example is one possible arrangement that you might have described; that is, one column for X values and several columns for Y values. This is the case when you should respond that you are sharing X-values. With all the data in one table, you can select it all at once, so you don't have the problem with dragging additional series into the chart.
The Numbers User Guide PDF's first chapter is the place to start getting your bearings - you will learn how to distinguish Header vs. Body rows and columns. It's worth the effort to take another look at it.
Since you are using a Scatter Chart, it's important not to use a header column for X because X values must be Numeric, as opposed to Text.

Scatter plots with missing data

How can I force the "Connect Points" option to ignore missing data in a scatter plot or line chart?
If I have:
Sequence

Numbers will only connect the first four cells with a continuous line, but leave the rest as only points.

LS,
You presently get this:
If you use the Filter in the Reorganize panel to show only non-blank rows, you can get this:

Scatter plot with categories

I'm wondering if there is any way to make a histogram scatter plot like this one in Numbers:
http://www.clinsci.org/cs/099/0505/cs0990505f01.gif
At the moment I have a bunch of values in three columns. This seems like it should be super straightforward to do but I can't figure it out. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Maybe histogram isn't the right word. Dot plot, maybe? Kaleidograph does this very easily but the aesthetics aren't what I'd like them to be. Here's their example:
http://www.synergy.com/samples.htm#
It's the "dot plot" under the "stat" category.
The best I've been able to do is sort the values in each category in ascending order and then plot them along the same X axis, so you get a sense of the difference in the distributions:
http://www.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10100218167068253&set=a.10100218167028333 .2760006.1229661
This is less than ideal because I don't have the same number of values in each category, so I have to insert empty cells in order to get a comparable 'run' (so to speak).
It just seems like it would be trivially simple to make this sort of plot, but there doesn't seem to be an option for it.

Hash tables in combination with data references to the line type.

I'm having an issue with hash tables - in combination with reference variables.
Consider the following: (Which is part of a class) - it attempts to see if a particular id exists in a table; if not add it; if yes change it.
types: BEGIN OF TY_MEASUREMENT,
           perfid      TYPE zgz_perf_metric_id,
           rtime       TYPE zgz_perf_runtime,
           execount    TYPE zgz_perf_execount,
           last_start TYPE timestampl,
         END OF TY_MEASUREMENT.
METHOD START.
DATA: ls_measurement TYPE REF TO ty_measurement.
READ TABLE gt_measurements WITH TABLE KEY perfid = i_perfid reference into ls_measurement.
if sy-subrc <> 0.
    "Didn't find it.
    create data ls_measurement.
    ls_measurement->perfid = i_perfid.
    insert ls_measurement->* into gt_measurements.
endif.
GET TIME STAMP FIELD ls_measurements-last_start.
ls_measurement->execount = ls_measurement->execount + 1.
ENDMETHOD.
I get compile errors on the insert statement - either "You cannot use explicit index operations on tables with types HASHED TABLE" or "ANY TABLE".      It is possible that.
If I don't dereference the type then I get the error LS_MEASUREMENT cannot be converted to the line type of GT_MEASUREMENTS.
I'm not looking to solve this with a combination of references and work ares - want a reference solution.
Thanks!

I think it might work when you change it for
insert ls_measurement->* into TABLE gt_measurements.
For hashed table a new line here will be inserted according to given table key.

Why won't my data appear on my scatter plot graph in numbers?

I'm making a scatter plot graph and I'm dealing with very small numbers on my x-axis, such as 0.0004 and 0.184 on my y-axis. Every time I plot the scatter plot graph, nothing appears on the graph. Can anyone please help me? Thanks.

just to check in your notification centre,(settings>Notification centre>Messages) did you enable show alerts from everyone? if so
Do a reset by holding the power and home button until the apple logo appears ignoring the slide to power off (no data loss).

Scatter Plot Problems

I'm fairly new to Numbers, and I'm having difficulty making scatter plots with some of my data. For instance, I want to create a graph of strain versus force, with force on the x-axis and strain on the y-axis. I have my data in 2 rows, and when I select both rows and choose a scatter plot, I get a bizarre looking chart. Is there a step I'm missing here?

Yvan,
I should have given you more data. I have found that the icon in the upper left corner of the Scatter Chart's data range in the Table can not be switched from columnar to row-wise, as would be the case for a Line Chart. It seems that the icon, and the chart behavior, are stuck on Columnar.
Clicking on the icon will not change it.
Defining a row-wise paring range for a Scatter Chart is ignored and a multi-series Columnar Chart is created instead. There are two ways to identify the behavior, by the color blocks in the data range, as you noted, and by the icon.
This is the Columnar Icon:
This is the Row-wise Icon:
Clicking on the icon should toggle it.
The documentation indicates that either arrangement should work with a Scatter Chart, but clearly in my experience, only column pairs can be used. I can't think of a good reason to restrict this behavior beyond the convention that X-Y data is normally presented in columns.
Thanks for asking the Bug Hunters about this issue.

X and Y Data in scatter plot are different fields but can not be ??

When making a scatter plot with numbers you can select the X data in the series bar (X Value) then click tick then select the y data.
If I do this the initially entered X data becomes the Y data, if you do it vice-versa, the latter entry of y data becomes the X data.
I called up apple support for this issue and after explaining the a technical supervisor in their numbers section what a scatter plot was they said they’d put the issue in my file. Can someone fix this ……. ?
You need to be able to enter a number of different X, Y series of data where X is one column or a portion of that column and Y is a an identical number of rows to each x value but in a different column.
If apple’s wondering why this program’s not professionally used they might what to actually use it before releasing it.

Rubin,
OK, you're using OSX Mavericks 10.9, and Numbers 3.0.1. It would be a good idea to update your profile to show the proper operating system version.
I think you are saying that you cant' add X-Y pairs to the chart as a new series. Apple has switched the default. Scatter Charts used to default to adding pairs of columns representing new X-Y pairs, but now it defaults to the mode called Share X-Axis values, so it thinks you are adding 2 new sets of Y-values sharing the first column of x-values.
The switch for this is in the lower left corner of the Numbers window. This control used to be in the upper left of the chart range indicator in the source table, but they moved it. Click on the "Plot Columns as Series" button to reveal the menu. Then un-check Share X Values.

Numbers: Scatter plot naming

Is it possible to plot words next to the points on a scatter plot in Numbers?
I am plotting the scatter plot with the x as a year and the y as 0 for a timeline.
It is for a Biograpgy project on Steve Job's life and products.

N,
Your best route would be to make Text Boxes for Labels and manually position them along your X-Axis.

Scatter chart with lines between points

In one of our Deski reports, we have a "funnel" chart. This is essentially achieved with a scatter plot graph with lines drawn between the scatter points to resemble a line chart. This allows us to draw odd lines, such as a funnels that don't really look like funnels. (Picture drawing a concentric circle for another visualization of what we are trying to accomplish). So our problem is that we need to convert this Deski Report to Webi in order to move to BusinessObjects 4.1. But we cannot seem to achieve this in Webi because the scatter plot in Webi does not draw lines between the points. Any ideas out there? Can this be done in a current BusinessObjects tool?

Hi,
We have the same problem, did you solve your problem and how?
thanks in advanced

Logarithmic axes in scatter plots

Hello,
Maybe I am wrong but reading the documentation and doing some tests, I do not succeed to do a scatter plot with one axe on a logarithmic scale.
It seems that, in this mode, both axes X and Y are linked and need to have the same origin. In my try, X goes from 0 to 5000 whereas Y goes from 1E15 to 6E20.
So if both needs to begin at 0 because of X, it is a bit stupid and a serious problem to use Numbers
Does anybody knows how to do that ?
Best regards

Help, Need XY Scatter Plots.vi

After getting a VI working, I realized I corrupted my XY Scatter Plots.vi
which is in the examples under Building User Interfaces, Displaying Data, Graphs and Charts.
All my subVI's are fine, I just need the main XY Scatter Plots.vi is somebody would not
mind attaching.
Thanks in advance.
