Can't edit in Chart Data Editor

I am trying to make a pie chart and I cannot edit the data in the data editor once I get the chart on the working page. Double clicking in the data editor does nothing. The slider bars can't be moved. I can't move the data editor window but the rest of the chart can be manipulated in the chart inspector window. Any suggestions? I am using Keynote 3.0.2
Intel iMac Mac OS X (10.4.8)

I fixed my problem by simply quitting and restarting the program. I can't explain why but it worked. As Vizzini says "You must go back to the beginning."

Chart Data Editor

Has anyone seen the Chart Data Editor in Pages and if so can you tell me how to find it?
Am having trouble editing the labels of the X-axis of a chart and the Pages manual seems to have a sensible solution but it requires using the Chart Data Editor. For the life of me I can't find in the programme.

You need the Pages Discussion Board. this is the Numbers Discussion board.

Can't edit pics in external editor

I can't open anything from my iPhoto library up in Photoshop. For instance, if I Control+click an image in iPhoto, I see that there is an option Edit in External Editor," but it's all un-clickable and gray rather than the normal clickable black. How can I open my iPhoto pics in Photoshop?

And note that after editing in an external editor you "save" to return the photo correctly to the iPhoto library and update the iPhoto database - do not save as which will create a new photo and not be a part of the iPhoto library until it is imported
Also after configuring an external editor you can set the edit in back to in main window and normal editing will be by iPhoto - right clicking brings up the additional options including the external editor

Anyone else having this problem? Region Editing problems, can't edit or see in editor.

Hello,
I'm using FCPX and i' having region issues, first of all i can't edit the region with the mouse as in pull it from the left or right to make it longer the whole region moves as if i clicked in the middle, then when i doucle click on it i'm not able to edit it i don't even see the waves, i'm sure these two problems are connected. I also can't copy and paste without the original region disappearing although I have found a work around for that, any ideas?

You're using Logic Pro X not FCP. You need to use the Logic forum.

Crystal Reports 2008 Can not edit in the formula editor? Help?

I just used Crystal 2 weeks ago just fine. Now when I go into a report and then into the select expert then into the formula editor it will not let me edit my formulas. The cursor is there, but I can do anything. I tried to find and replace, but I get the text is read-only. How the heck do I fix this? It's pretty urgent.

Hi,
The only time I've seen formula grayed out is when I go into a conditional formatting formula and try to edit other formula fields on the Report.
What formulas are you trying to edit? The best place to edit a formula is from the 'Formula Workshop'.
Report > Formula Workshop; you can edit any formula from here.
Hope this helps!

How can I edit my EXIF Date info without changing Time info?

I recently went on a shoot with three cameras, one of which was set at the wrong date (sometime in 2012). I now want to correct all the date stamps on the photos taken by the camera with the bad date settings but am finding this next to impossible to do quickly - I have 416 incorrectly dated photos.
In iPhoto '06 you could go to Photos - Batch Change and a dialogue would pop up with separate Date and Time boxes; I am using iPhoto '08 which has merged these two fields into one, meaning I now lose the correct Time of Day EXIF metadata for each photo I try to change the incorrect Date EXIF metadata on.
I have googled for a separate app to do this, but none do this - they all seem to change everything in one go.
How can I fix my problem and change only the Date info while keeping the existing Time info in a Batch process?

Like I say it's a while since I used 08, but I can certainly roll back 365 or even 400 days on iPhoto 11, without changing the time using the adjust date and time command.
Aperture uses exactly the same mechanism.
It's even longer since I used iPhoto 6.
I did a quick google search and found this:
http://joemaller.com/970/date-shifting-in-iphoto-08/
This shows exactly the same process as iPhoto 09, 11 and Aperture, and exactly what I can use to time shift a group of photographs.
I don't think that the 08 apps were "dumbed down" at all. If I recall correctly, iPhoto gained lossless editing at that point - a very significant enhancement, and no, I don't think there was any effort to push people to change to more expensive products. IIRC every version of iPhoto since then has been less expensive. Apple did do a major rewrite of iMovie at the point, but left iMovie6 available for free as a download for two years. iMovie 11, though a very different interface, has long since overtaken iMovie 6 in capability.

IPhoto 08 can now edit EXIF Capture Date

iPhoto 08 is now able to change the EXIF Capture Date on the original files thru the Photo->Adjust Date and Time menu option. It also changes the Created and Modified date to the same selected date on the original file.
Do you Twango?
TIP: For insurance against the iPhoto database corruption that many users have experienced I recommend making a backup copy of the Library6.iPhoto database file and keep it current. If problems crop up where iPhoto suddenly can't see any photos or thinks there are no photos in the library, replacing the working Library6.iPhoto file with the backup will often get the library back. By keeping it current I mean backup after each import and/or any serious editing or work on books, slideshows, calendars, cards, etc. That insures that if a problem pops up and you do need to replace the database file, you'll retain all those efforts. It doesn't take long to make the backup and it's good insurance.
I've written an Automator workflow application (requires Tiger), iPhoto dB File Backup, that will copy the selected Library6.iPhoto file from your iPhoto Library folder to the Pictures folder, replacing any previous version of it. It's compatible with iPhoto 08 libraries. You can download it at Toad's Cellar. Be sure to read the Read Me pdf file.

Björn:
I tried it on an alias library and the "source" files on the external HD did have their Capture Date changed. How did you get the files from the original (alias based) library into the other?

[PS2013] Can't edit report's data sources

Hi!
When I upload a report to the PWA, I usually click on the 3 dots and open the menu for that report. I remember that there used to be an option to edit data sources, but I can't see that option anymore, like in the picture below. Any ideas on why did I stopped
having that option?

What kind of report is it? Excel, SSRS, word, PDF?
It sounds like an SSRS connection string and if that is the case make sure the library has define the content types for SSRS.
Cheers!

Can't edit DOC field data if its over 250 characters.

Hi All,
If am IDOC field length is more than 250 characters, SAP is not allowing to change the data(example basic type: ACC_DOCUMENT01, segment: E1BPACEXTC, field: FIELD1). Its throwing an error on saying field lenght is more than 250 characters. Now I need to write a custom program to modify those fields in the Idoc. Can any body help with function module I need to call to modify the fields in idoc.
Regards,
Venkat.

Forgive me, this is not practical advice.
I installed Numbers 3. From the Mac App Store, there being no other way. As is its practice, MAS, wipes out every trace of previous versions of the software it replaces. Numbers 2.3 simply does not exist on my machine.
Yes, I have Time Machine backups. Have you tried drag-installing iWorks applications? They will not run. They rely on system-level frameworks that I am not confident I can dig out of Time Machine.
No, I do not have my original distribution media for iWorks. I bought iWorks nearly six years ago, when computers still had optical drives. It happens I have a couple of 3.5" floppies from the first developer-tools releases in 1984, but those are relics. I don't have the DVD (or CD?).
If I did have the DVD, it would not contain version 2.3. 2.3 came from an Apple update I downloaded from the support site five years ago. I challenge you to give me a live URL for that updater.
P.S. Perhaps I am oversensitive, but I think the implication is gratuitous, that only a fancy-pants rocket scientist would want to import a spreadsheet that contains 100 lines of dates, text, and numbers in 17 columns.
When one double-clicks an .xlsx file, Numbers opens it. Import of Excel files is not an advanced future direction. It is an intended function of the application today. Numbers responds to double-clicking .xlsx files today. If it were not an intended function, it would not attempt to open the file; or at least it would post some kind of alert that the operation is not yet implemented.

Edit/add XML data in BI Publisher

Hi
I have a java program that is generating an XML file that I am using as input for my BI publisher for PO report. However, I want to add some extra information(location addresses corresponding to location id) that is not there in the XML and I cannot edit the java program generating it. Is there any way I can do this in BI publisher? Can I edit/add XML data in BI publisher? This is really urgent and I appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Sharmila

You have to edit the package which has the sql query,
without fetching them in xml , you cannot display that.
BIP will not help you to get that into report.
The code which generates the XML data has to edited for sure..
I guess, i helped one guy for similar requirement,
i guess you are asking in the same report..
the java program in turn calls the Pl/Sql package which generates the XML data and pass it to the Java Concurrent Program.
The Pl/Sql package picks data from these views po_headers_xml, po_lines_xml, po_distribution_xml.
you can also add the columns you want to be displayed in these views, and then change the template accordingly.

Where to download EH&S Data Editor tool

Hi,
I know EH&S Data Editor tool is not more available to download from TechniData ftp site. Do you know where can I download EH&S Data Editor tool in SAP Service Marketplace or TechniData site?
Thanks,
KC

Mark,
Somebody of my team would like to use this tool within the scope of a PLM project (for initial data load).
Of course I will contact my SAP service account manager but it should be useful to explain to the community (do not need all thedetails) why this product is not sold anymore (after Technidata acquisition).
Does it mean that there is a similar, equivalent solution within the SAP product portfolio (Business Objects) area for example ?
Thanks beforehand.

Can't add numbers greater than 100 in the Data Editor for a column chart

I'm trying to create a column chart in Keynote '09 but every time I add a data point with a value greater than 100 in the Data Editor it turns the number into a date. I have the Y Axis set to "Number" and it works fine for numbers less than 100 but I want to show a graph that goes from 0 - 1000. Is this happening to anyone else?
Chart Settings:
Y Axis Options:
- Max = 1000
- Steps = 5
- Format = Number
X Axis Options
- Show Axis
- Show Categories
- No Tick Marks
thanks in advance for the help

Welcome to the discussions, AlexEberts.
No, it's not happening for me. This is what I'm doing
1) Insert -> Chart -> Column
2) In the Data editor, for 2007, I enter 110.
The chart automatically expands to 110 (because, by default, it's set to autosize the Y-axis)
Does this work for you? If it does, then we can look at why it doesn't work when you add parameters.

Can You Edit/Resize/Move Chart Labels in Pages '08?

I cannot get a seemingly basic page layout technique to work: editing pie chart labels. There appears to be no way to add a soft line break, adjust the text box, move the data label. You can't add a two-line title, either.
I am hoping that there's something I've overlooked. I handle communications for a 40-person nonprofit. I was so excited about the new iWork suite and the potential for replacing Office. I really liked the functionality of Pages and was on the point of recommending it. Then I worked on one of our reports. And got stumped by the charts. The pie charts look sharp. The color palette is better. But I can only seem to edit data labels in the inspector. Pages Help didn't help. It says I can select a label location (see below), but no pop-up exists or at least none that offers Middle or Below Right.
Can anyone help me solve this riddle? Working with charts doesn't seem like an advanced feature. I must have overlooked something, right?
from Pages Help
For pie charts, you display values as percentages by choosing Show Pie Values as Percentages from the Data Point Settings pop-up menu on the Series pane. To display the data series name for a wedge, choose Show Series Name from the Data Point Settings pop-up menu.
Select a label location from the Data Point Settings pop-up menu (for example, Middle or Below Right).

Hi Justin,
You should be able to manually move the X-Axis labels in the Preview Mode.
Go to the Chart Expert > Options tab > Uncheck the 'Auto-arrange' option.

How can I do multiple edits, cleansing against data

We are processing outside data and we want to edit and cleanse the data prior to loading to ensure the data is good and follows normal data referential integrity. We are loading the source data to a SQL Server Table. Can I then read this data and bounce
up against our database to ensure the data is clean? Some of the cleansing would entail table joins. So do I do this through an OLE DB Command to our application tables? And can I use raw SQL with the parameters from each row of the outside data in order to
do the table lookups to our application database? And how do I do that using OLE DB Command?
Thanks for your review and am hopeful for a reply.

Not sure how you cleanse but most likely you need to implement the Lookup Transformation https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms141821.aspx
bear in mind it is an expensive operation so it may take a long time and resources.

Can No Longer Edit Song Meta Data In Latest iTunes 11.1???

I just discovered that since the update to version 11.1 I can no longer manually edit the meta data by using the Show info function, all options are greyed out. For instance I can no longer adjust the volume level on a song nor can I edit the fields for song title and artist tec. There is also no longer any tab for album art when using the Show Info function on a song that has no album cover art. On songs that already have an album cover there will be an album art tab but the options there are all greyed out so I can not change the album cover art if I wanted too. This really *****, I can no longer edit album cover art for songs that have another cover already and I can not add any cover picture at all for songs that have no cover art (unless I manage to get the cover from the iTunes store but that is very often not successfull).
Another bug I found is that I can no longer add any video file to my playlists.
So this new update really ***** for me and have ruined my itunes experience.
Do anyone else in here have the same problem?
I really hope Apple will fix these bugs as soon as possible!

I think I finally found a solution to this problem. It appears that for some reason, some songs you download will maintain write protection that the original owner had set on his/hers computer. In my case for this Ellie Goulding album that I had problem with, it turned out my friend who gave it to me had some of the songs stored on his iPad and that caused the files to become write protected it seems, and this write protection was transfered over to my PC. To solve this issue, everytime you encounter a song in iTunes that you can not edit just right click it and select Show/View In Explorer, that will take you to the storage location of the file in question. Now right click the song and select Properties and see if it is write protected, if it is then just uncheck that option and click ok. Now you should be able to edit the meta data for that song again. So it appears this is not a bug in iTunes but rather a write protection issue.
