Bar Chart Dissapears after Magic Move

Okay, I have a bizarre Keynote bug that i have been able to nail down the occurrence but not the solution. Here is what happens:
1) I have a magic move occur early in the presentation
2a) Later whenever I display a bar chart that is animated the values appear but the bars do not
3b) This only occurs when I have a small scale on the y axis, say under 10 points (but this is important as I want to put numbers ranging from 2 to 4 as data). So, I could have three charts and those with large scales (say ranging from 0 to 20) will be unaffected, but those ranging from small values (2 to 11) are affected
I've tried starting a new keynote presentation and I still get the error. Really weird. Curious if anyone has a solution and I can send the Keynote file anyone adventurous enough to try to solve it.

The workaround I use is to build slides with 'layers'. I cut my slide in photoshop into pieces and let the graph bar slide in from behind one of those pieces. I's a workaround, I know. And I'd really love to see the next release with build in layers, but with a little creativity and clever thinking you can come up with great results.

Draw a Horizontal target line on bar chart

I am trying to reach out to crystal report gurus for the following problem, I am relatively new with crystal reports and would really appreciate if you could provide a solution or point me in the rite direction.
I am working on a project which requires to show various charts on an .aspx page. (.net 2.0). I am using CR10.2.36, the one that comes with VS2005.
My problem is I need to add a target line on a bar chart, e.g.
I have (Y)years and (X)Examscores, I need to put a line (target line) on the Exam Scores.
    100%   |
(X)Score |
   45%
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _   (this is the target line I need to have)
               |
        0% |__________________________
                2001          2002           2003
now this target line should move up or down on click of a button or a .net slider control (which would be somewhere on the page).
So I guess I need to add the target line to the bar chart programmatically after the chart loads.
I am able to load the chart correctly but I am not able to think of a way to add the target line and there seems to be not a lot of help out there.
I appreciate your time and help
Thanks

Wavy lines in bar charts after converting a Powerpoint to a pdf?

After converting a Powerpoint file to a pdf, the bar charts have wavy lines. The one thing I noticed is that the problem appeared when creating the pdf with Notes showing. If Notes are turned off, then the bars are fine.
Is there a solution for this?

Version is Office 2007.
OS is Windows 7.
Viewer - I think it is Acrobat 9 Pro.
When printing, the option to print notes is chosen. If the option is just slides, the bars in the charts are normal.
To create a PDF, the Powerpoint file is open --> then go to Print --> in the Print dialog box, change the printer name to Adobe PDF and print.

Magic Move and Charts

I was watching the video of todays WWDC keynote and at one point Phil Schiller was showing a graph that smoothly changed vertical size and scale when transitioning between one slide and another. He then said (I am paraphrasing) "Magic Move in Keynote".
I went right to my Keynote '09 and have spent the last 45 minutes trying to get Keynote to do such a smooth Magic Move transition. Started with a scatter chart. Generated on a page, copied and pasted in the next and just shrunk the vertical size. No smooth transition. I removed the legend from both. Same no go. Tried it with 4 other chart types and in none did Magic Move smoothly transition a chart from one page into another where the size was changed.
Has anyone else done this? Look at the WWDC video - it happens with Phil's first part of the presentation showing numbers of OsX users. Can anyone duplicate this with a chart???

I think so. There is no other way. As I said it's not perfect. Magic Move makes the animation dependent from the objects being at front and at back. To make it perfect, you need to care about that. As this would REALLY take time I didn't do so. But I think Apple does have employees for that
You can do the diagram with keynote, then remove all gridlines etc. copy it and paste it into Photoshop as a Vector smart object. Then save it as a .psd file and put it back into keynote....

Can I get magic move to operate automatically after a build out?

Can I get magic move to operate automatically after a build out? I don't want to using timing as the presentation is not static.
Thanks..

Welcome to the forums!
In the Slide Inspector, in the Transition tab, use the Start Transition dropdown menu to select "Automatically". The transition will then start after the last animation on the slide.

Excel chart - bar values appear after selecting slicers

I have a small dashboard that displays total order dollars by week. This is generated from a SSAS cube on SQL Server. I have a couple slicers that control what is being displayed (order type and product type). The chart type is from a template.
This is a stacked bar chart.
I do not want the values of each bar to appear on the chart. When I first open the sheet the values are not there. When I start selecting the different slicers the chart starts displaying values of each bar.
How can I stop this from happening?
Thanks

In excel 2013, if you want to Remove data labels from the chart. Click the chart area->On the
'Design' Tab->Add chart Element->Data Labels, choose
none .http://office.microsoft.com/en-001/excel-help/add-or-remove-data-labels-in-a-chart-HP001234166.aspx
If theses values still appear when you select slicer, please check if there any Macros in this excel file, meanwhile you can share us with this chart template.

Magic move only for constrained proportions?

Dear all,
basically going nuts trying the same thing a lot of people did: animating charts. After finding out, that this is not possible in an easy way, I went even back to build the chart myself. In my case a line plot with two lines. I try to animate a change from one data-pattern to another (just 4 data points, hm?).
After reading Apples description on magic move I thought that should work: just add two line shapes, duplicate chart, move the lines on the second chart, magic move, ready. Or? Doesn't work. By fiddling around a bit, I probably nailed it down: Because lines don't have a size (only start and end point), changing any endpoint position breaks the magic move. But even further: For all other shapes, magic move breaks as soon as you change it's size unproportional.
Can anyone confirm that or propose a workaround? If this is true, Apple should definitely change the Keynote help text:
+This transition only works when you use an identical image, shape, or text box in a different location or with a different size on the next slide.+
They should mention, that it only work for proportionally resized shapes, which makes the tool pretty useless for a lot of cases.

The workaround I use is to build slides with 'layers'. I cut my slide in photoshop into pieces and let the graph bar slide in from behind one of those pieces. I's a workaround, I know. And I'd really love to see the next release with build in layers, but with a little creativity and clever thinking you can come up with great results.

Help with stacked bar charts

Help..................
I am definitely missing something.
I want to do something like the attached, stacked bar chart example. This is pretty much
one of the examples.
What I need is for a horizontal chart instead of a vertical. When I right click the legend and
chose bar charts, it only shows vertical. After messing with this for a couple of hours,
I give.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated.

Stacked Bar Graph.vi ‏43 KB

Another stacked bar graph plea for help!
My scenario: I am recording 3ph current values (red, yellow, blue) on multiple circuits for some electrical tests we do.
I want to present this data on a screen that is most visible from a distance, so the approach I have taken when I last wrote the software in Delphi was to have each 3 ph circuit represented by a 3 channel bar chart where the three channels are stacked front to back in order of magnitude. This allowed me to add multiple 3 channel circuits next to these to fill the screen from left to right.
See attached Excel file to make it clear. I hope!
The main issue I see is that the colour of plot needs to move front to back with the magnitude. ie Red is not always the front plot, it is the 'smallest' of the three plots that stays at the front.
Some tests we do, may have 12 x 3ph circuits of this type which fills the screen up and can make it very busy. Rather than having 36 plots left to right, by stacking them in groups of three, I reduce the left to right number to 12 plots. The screen can then be viewed from a distance much easier.
Any suggestions? I am expecting I will need to write my own routine for this, which if I do, i am quite happy to share when complete.
See (and run) the attached LabVIEW code of my progress so far.
thanks Adam

Category labels fail to update in column and bar charts

I originally posted this comment in another thread (Re: Category labels fail to update). I thought I should repost it, as the issue still exists after installing SP1 Fix Pack 2 (version 5.1.2.0), and it wasn't clear from the previous thread that the problem had been logged.
If you have a bar chart or stacked bar chart, the category labels do not update with the underlying data when you have the "Horizonal (Value) Axis Labels" box unchecked. Same effect with a column chart if the "Vertical (Value) Axis Labels" box is unchecked.
I'm getting around the problem in the meantime by keeping the box checked but changing the font size to zero, which reduces the labels to small dashes, and then using a font colour that matches the background as much as possible.
... by the way, another issue I see in this same area is that although there are separate checkboxes in charts for choosing whether to display titles and subtitles, it is not possible to select just titles - both checkboxes appear to be locked together.
- Peter

Hi Tammy,
I didn't regard #2 as bug - in fact I thought it was helpful to be able to set the size to zero as a workaround to the problem outlined in #1.
Regarding #3, if this is by design, then I'd suggest that it's a poor design choice to have checkboxes next to both titles and subtitles, since this implies that they should be able to be separately controlled.
Something else I've noticed with this formatting area is that the position and offset controls are disabled, and there doesn't appear to be any way to use them. It would be very helpful to be able to use these to move the position of chart titles. In a dashboard I'm currently building, we have a large stack of charts sized very small, to attempt to resemble the 'sparkline' concept. But the chart titles are so high, it's not clear which chart they refer to (they look like they might refer to the chart above it). As a result, I've had to remove the chart titles and place independent labels over top of each chart to be able to position them closer to the chart's display area.

Why do the scroll bars quickly dissapear in firefox on OSX 10.9?

I am running OSX 10.9 Maverick on a Macbook Pro . I observe this problem in Firefox 25.1 The scroll bars in any application window all dissapear after about a second. If you resize the window or select an item with subdirectories in a list, the scroll bar in the pane you are in reappears, but it does not dwell long enough to allow you to move a cursor over it. (What is the point of making it dissapear anyway?) Two finger scrolling does not work for some reason, using a function and direction key or just a direction key works to scroll only in some websites but not all of them. This little bit of cleverness, if intentional is both un-needed and dysfunctional.

This answer solves the problem for me.
However, it does not address the fact that under Apples OSX 10.9 Maverick, touchpad scrolling currently does not always work, even when you have a touchpad device, and the very latest OS and version of Firefox. The default scroll bar setting for OSX 10.9 ought to be hardware sensitive and set to always on as the default, Other settings might work on an iPad or iPhone device and their competitor clones, I cannot confirm that, but we know that it does not work for all web applications on all touchpad devices. Not even the ones Apple make themselves.

How to format individual series in stacked bar chart

Hi,
Is there any way I can format (sort order, or transperency) of each series individually in a horizontal stacked bar chart?
I am trying to create a gantt chart, where I am using two series
1. Start Date
2. Duration
The function of series one (Start Date) is only to place the start position of the horizontal bar of series 2 (duration) in the year time frame.
After creation of the stacked bar chart, I want to make the reansperency of series 1 (start Date) as 0 so that the duration bar apears floating and gives the feel of Gantt chart.
Thanks
Aurobindo

It's not uncommon for it to not work the first time and sometimes, you have to try it a few times. Turn off your antivirus software and your firewall while you are trying to restore the iPad. Enable them again after you restore.
If that still won't work, post back with detailed information as to what exactly does happen as you go through the process.

Ecelsius data from QAAWS do not fit right format to project a bar chart.

Hello team,
Need some help in formating Xcelsius data from Qaaws link.
Here is what i have:
I imported data in to Xcelsius using QAAWS link.
What i need to do is to project a bar chart with filters. 'i.e' chart should be projected based on the filter output.
The problem is that when i pick the data through filters it selects just one row.
But i need multiple rows, 'i.e' for every year. (as i'm projecting Yearly data. Vs HeadCount)
Excel file has got 4 columns, Project name, Role Name, Year, Head Count.
Filters are based on project type and Role type.
'i.e' when i select project name and role name using filters : i want the filters to pick the matching data in excel (Headcount) for every year, however it picks for just one single year.
Sample Excel data:
TeamName     RoleName     CalendarYear     HeadCount
engg                ModDel            2007                15
ProjOff             CV                  2007                 22
SCM                 CV                  2008                 42
site                   CV                  2008                 31
ProjOff             HP                   2008                 22
PCM                  MM                  2009                 46
Sore                 ZP                   2009                 22
Engg                 CV                  2010                 19
ProjOff             CV                  2010                 26
Any Ideas to develop this formatting would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Anil,
Thank you for a quick reply.
After i tried the combo box instead a filter i got multiple rows picked up, but how will it work for more than one combo box.?
I actually need 2 to 3 filters or combo boxes here, which can pick the data from Xcelsisus and output multiple rows on those filtered conditions, (just like filters, matching rows of input but output multiple rows )
'i.e' Combo boxes are displaying output separately ('i.e' both combo boxes are not in sync) unlike filters
Any ideas on this issue, Let me know if i do not make myself clear here.
Appreciate your help.
Regards
Ravi

Fine-grained control of colors in a bar chart

Hello,
Short version: How do I control the colors of the bars in a bar chart in Keynote, so that each bar, representing a particular entity, retains its color no matter its position relative to the other bars after updating the chart?
Detailed version: I am using iWork '09. In Keynote I have a 3D bar chart showing an indicator for different companies (industry comparison). The companies are sorted in ascending order by revenue, so that the lowest bar (company with smallest revenue) is to the far left and the tallest - to the far right. I update the chart regularly. I have the following problem: each bar, representing a company, is in a particular color. When I update the chart, if the the order of the companies changes, the colors of the bars do not change, so that in the new chart the order of the colors is the same, although some or all of the bars now represent different companies. In other words: if in version 1 company A is in red and comes before company B which is in blue, if in the next version company A comes after company B, I want its bar to still be red. In the current situation, if company A comes after company B its bar will be blue and comapny B's will be red, i.e. red still comes before blue.

I have to give up the beautiful colors of the automatic chart and only use the restricted number of colors from the color well.
There is no restricion in the choice of colour, the colour depth on a Mac has over 16 million to choose from.
Further, the fill type has options for; colour, gradient, image and tint

How can I choose the target image in Magic Move?

Hello,
I'm trying to use Magic Move to transition between slides. There are multiple shapes that are the same size and color on the target slide. Is there a way to control what the "target" shape is in Keynote?
Here's what I mean (please pardon my corniness):
Could I make it so that this image "shrinks" into the box on the far right ("Already")?
Right now, it's defaulting to the third box from the left each time.
Thank you so much for any help!

Hello HanktheCat,
Thank you for providing the details of what you are trying to do with Magic Move in Keynote. I found a couple of resources that I think might help.
To use Magic Move, you set a target location by moving the original object to a new location or changing the size on the following slide. I found an article with some tips on how to set this up:
The Magic Move transition uses graphics and text that appear both on the current slide and the following slide. During the transition, the objects are moved into their new position and size on the following slide. This transition only works when you use an identical image, shape, or text box in a different location or with a different size on the next slide. Magic Move doesn’t work with tables, charts, or movies.
For best results with a Magic Move transition, duplicate the slide and apply the Magic Move transition between the original and the duplicate.
To set up a Magic Move transition:
Create a slide and place the objects (text, shapes, images) where you want them.
Select the slide in the Slide Navigator and press Command-D to duplicate the slide.
On the copy of the slide, reposition and resize some or all of the text, shapes, and images on the slide.
Add any additional text or graphics you want to add to the copied slide, and delete any objects you don’t want on it.
Select the first slide of the pair and apply the Magic Move transition. For detailed instructions on how to add a transition between slides, see Adding Transitions Between Slides.
