Data tips in column charts - numbers need trimming

I want to keep the standard data tip format in my column
charts, but the numbers often look weird - even though the raw
numbers add up neatly to eg 3 decimal places, the data tip shows
15! As an example when the total of a column is 49.346, the data
tip shows "Total: 49.346000000000004". How can I stop this? I can't
find an example of how to do my own data tip function that
replicates the standard so I can round the numbers down.
Thanks.

Hello,
Sorry about resurecting an old post, but I'm having the same issue. My original numbers have unknow number of decimals, and when storing them in my ArrayCollection, I was originally using Math.round(myNumber*100)/100 to keep only 2 decimals. To my surprise, chart datatips show some numbers with 10 decimals (38.4899999999 for example).
I switched to using Number(nfToVal.format(myNumber)), since I already use the same NumberFormatter to display those numbers in a datagrid.
For info, nfToVal is:
var nfToVal:NumberFormatter = new NumberFormatter();
nfToVal.decimalSeparatorFrom=".";
nfToVal.decimalSeparatorTo = ".";
nfToVal.useNegativeSign="true";
nfToVal.thousandsSeparatorFrom="";
nfToVal.thousandsSeparatorTo="";
nfToVal.precision="2";
nfToVal.rounding="nearest";
Problem still there! Numbers display correctly as strings after being formatted, but get decimals again when converted back to numbers ...
Any hints ????
Thanks,
Olivier

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

How do I get numbers to automatically add the next date down a column in numbers?

Hi Dd,
If you want the next date automaitcally filled in when you add a row to the bottom of the table, you can use a formula.
Here's an example, done in Numbers 2.3 (Numbers '09). The method is basically the same in Numbers 3.
Formulas in row 3:
B3: =B2+1
C3: =C2+7
D3: =D2+14
These have been filled down to the last row of the table.
The same table is shown below after three rows have been added by dragging the Row control handle (below the tab for row 7) down. No changes other than adding thse three rows were made by the user.
Note that rows 1 and 2 are header rows, and that row 2 contains the starting date for the seraies of date in each column. In the formula, the number at the end tells Numbers how many days to add to the previous date to get the next date.
Autofill of the formula requires that every non-header cell located above the cell into which the formula is to be filled contains the same formula.

Barry

Autofilling cells with existing data above in column? Numbers 2.0 did it, seems lost in 3.0

Autofilling cells with existing data above in column? Numbers 2.0 did it, seems lost in 3.0
Hello,
Just upgraded to Numbers 3.0 and use it for keeping the books on my business. When I input my receipts at the end of the day in to Numbers, it used to autofill the cell with suggestions as I type using existing data that is present in the same column within the table.
For example, I purchase parts from "Parts Store". Before instead of typing the entire phrase, I could just input the letter P and "Parts Store" would instantly pop up as a suggestion. I could hit enter and I would move on to the next cell. Made inputing data a lot easier.
It worked in 2.0, but seems lost in 3.0. Is there a way to turn this on? I tried searching with no luck.
Thanks for your help!
AJ

Hi AJ,
Cells formatted as pop-up are designed for this purpose, to choose from a list of repeating values. Even less typing. I like them better myself. No typos.
In the new Numbers hitting the spacebar doesn't activate a list so you have to go to the trackpad or mouse to make a pick from the list. It's very fast for me, but that depends on your setup and habits.

Decimal Point data for Stacked Column Chart

Hi,
I use a basic version of a Column chart for one of my projects. I use a stacked column chart with 2 data series namely "Expenses" & "Profit".
I use decimal point numbers (with only two or three places after the decimal point) for both series.
When I mouse over the bars of the output for tool tip, I view more numbers after the decimal point for some data.
How to fix the decimal point to only 2 places & what is the reason for this behaviour?
Attached is the sample output (output.gif) showing the above condition for the mentioned data.

Create an toolTipShow event handler and use a NumberFormatter to set the precision of the numbers (sample code from LiveDocs):

How to add two X Axis in the Column chart?Need Help

Hi,
I have a requirement to add two X axis in the SSRS column chart.Can someone please help how to add two X axis. I tried the secondary axis for horizontal axis but current x axis is shifting to other side, second X axis is not coming.
Regards
Jon

Hi Jon,
According to your description, you want to add secondary X axis for one series in a column chart, right?
The secondary axis is useful when comparing two value sets with two distinct data ranges that share a common category. In Reporting Services, it’s not supported to create two X axis for one series. We can create secondary X axis when there are two series
in a column chart. As we tested in our local environment, we can add secondary X axis for specific series. Please refer to the screenshots below:
So I would like to know what’s your exact needs about creating two X axis for one series. If possible please share some detail information about your data and expected looking of the chart.
Reference: Plot Data on a Secondary Axis (Report Builder and SSRS)
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.
Best regards,

Who can help me with this challenge?
I want to create a column chart with four quarters in the current year and one column with the rest later in time.
One project can have multiple output data. They are separated by an ;
The notation of the outputdata can be a date (d-m-yyyy), a month (mm-yyyy) or a quarter (Q1-yyyy).
This is by example the available data.
Project              outputdata
Project 1           1-4-2014

Offset in Category axis when in Column chart : Numbers

Hi,
Is there a way we can offset x-axis in a column chart? To give an example, I want to plot x=1,2,3 vs y=-1,0,1.
However, Instead of x-axis starting at '0', I want to have it start at -2. In this way, I can have an increasing order graph rather than inverting one.
I know it can be done in excel, but any idea if it can be done in Numbers?
Thx,
Swapnil.

Not something that Numbers will do without a little coercion and subterfuge).
Modification to the Table:
Column C added to contain the 'shifted' values for Y. =B+2
Column C selected as values to be charted. Category labels are picked up from Column A (a Header column).
Modifications to the chart:
Value labels on Y axis NOT displayed.
Y axis Max set to 3.5, Steps set to 7.
Text box added to contain labels to match bar heights to original (unshifted) values.
Line shape added to mark Y value of 0.

Barry

Help - How do I Add a Trendline to a Stacked Column Chart??

I have a stacked column chart (NOT a 100% stacked column chart) and need to add a line to show the year goal. I can do this in Excel, but for some reason can't figure out how to do this in SSRS. I read various tutorials, blogs and MSDN pages
but nothing works. The weird thing is that they all say that I should right-click on the chart and there should be a DATA tab...on the chart properties. THERE IS NO DATA TAB, i'm here to tell you. I'm using SQL 2012 so not sure if that might make
a difference.
So how do I do this?
Again, this can be done in Excel, don't understand why this isn't easier to do in SSRS.
BTW, completely separate rant here, but it takes me 20 minutes every single time I want to log into MSDN forums. It never seems to remember my password and I have to reset it, then jump through a bunch of security nonsense. Anyone else have this
problem?
Thanks!!

Hello,
If I understand correctly, you want to add a line chart to display the Goal values in the stacked column chart. You can try to add the secondary field to the Values area and change the chart type to "Line". Both data field in the Values area
shares the Category group and series group. Please refer to the following screen shot:
If I have any misunderstanding, please post your report dataset with sample data for further analysis.

Column Charting using remote service

Hi Friends,
as I am a noob to Flex, I'd like to get some help regarding some Charting I am trying to produce. I have a remote service which calls a java/sql app which provides data. Once the data is returned (in the form of arrays), I need to display the data in a Column Chart. I am able to get the data and display the chart, however I have no control over the chart.
How can I define the series so I can correctly label the data on the charts? Also need the series defined so I can customize the colour etc of the chart. Below is a snippet of the Action Script code which I have whipped up to get the data and display it:
            public function resultHandler(event:ResultEvent):void
                arr = event.result as Array;
                var colArr:Array=new Array();
                var j:Array = new Array();
                for (var i:int=0;i<arr.length;i++)
                    j[i]= new ColumnSeries();
                     j[i].dataProvider = arr;
                     j[i].displayName = i as String;
                       j[i].yField = String(i);
                       if (i!=0) colArr.push(j[i]);
                    // Original line
                    columnChart.series = colArr;
Any help would be much appreciated!
Thanks,

SSRS Column Chart Design Returning values in a format different from SSRS -SSAS Query Designer

Hi All,
I have an SSAS cube Measure Group with Multiple Measures that I am attempting to return on one SSRS report and reflect the
values using a ssrs column chart.
My Measure Group (Patients).
Measures:
PatientsOnMeds
PatientOnRelapse
PatientsCounseld
TotalNumberOfPatientsRegisterd
NewlyRegisteredPatients
HealthPersonelTrainef
Demension:
Time (Year) :filtered to 2012 & 2013
In my SSRS query designer I have filtered the above Measures with Time Dimesion year 2012 & 2013
and the data is returned as :
Year |PatientsOnMeds|PatientOnRelapse|TotalNumberOfPatientsRegisterd|NewlyRegisteredPatients|
2012 | 700 | 526 | 25 | 456
2013 | 245 | 245 | 15 | 70
Now the problem is when I return this data on the column Chart it's in messed up mesh
On the chart Data:
-Values :Measures
-Series Group: Dimension
The report values are returned in multiple columns for each value segmented by year i.e year 2012,Year 2013.
I want a single column for each Measure (value) for each single year and The chart axis to reflect the measures(values)
instead of grouping values according to series group.
instead the legend returns:
-Year A -PatientsOnMeds
-Year A -PatientOnRelapse
-Year B -PatientsOnMeds
-Year B -PatientOnRelapse
I would like the legend to reflect on -Year A,Year B in color code that will be highlighted in the column values.
Please point me in the right course if you can.Your insights are highly appreciated.Thank you in advance.

Hi Charlie,
Thank you for your kind response.
In actual I want the legend to show:
-2012
-2013
And the bottom axis to show:
PatientsOnMeds
PatientOnRelapse
PatientsCounseld
TotalNumberOfPatientsRegisterd
NewlyRegisteredPatients
HealthPersonelTrained
Indicating in color code for Year 2012 and Year 2013.
This the challenge that I am struggling with.I hope you understand my scenario.
It aint easy.

Hi Chris,
That is a Category graph (2-D Line).
A Scatter Plot will allow you to change the Scale and Steps on the X axis.
Click on the Chart (Graph) and Format Panel > Axis
To get a Connection Line or a Trendline on the Scatter Plot, Format Panel > Series
For a Scatter Plot, put your X and Y data in Header Columns (or Header Rows).
Regards,
Ian.
P.S. I see that SG has found the solution . Ian.

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.
