Excel 2007 pie chart conversion issue

I'm having issues converting my Excel 2007 spreadsheet that contains several pie charts into pdf. It will convert fine for everything but the pie charts. Their edges or outlines look perfect in Excel and the print preview, but once converted to pdf they're all choppy and rough looking. How can I fix this, as it makes the pdf look very unprofessional. I'm on Vista with all the latest updated, use office 2007 with all updates installed and adobe acrobat 8 with all the updates. I tried converting it through the acrobat feature in excel, as well as the print to pdf option. I even went so far to reinstall office 2003, with the same result. the pies were looking a bit smoother, but still way too choppy. how can i get adobe to convert perfect circular pie charts?
thanks!

From the ribbon>Acrobat>Create PDF. This gives me the ability to choose which tabs I want to include in the report.
I made PDF Printer my default and it worked! Thanks!
Why do you think my ribbon function doesn't work?

Excel 2007 csv file formatting issue

Our users create .csv files for upload to SAP. Their habit is to include a number of blank lines in excel to make it more readable.
In Excel 2003, blank lines were handled as, literally, blank lines, and opening in a text editor shows exactly that, a blank line (with a CR-LF character to terminate the row).
In Excel 2007 however, the blank line consists of a number of commas equal to the no. of columns, followed by the CR-LF termination. Hope that makes sense.
While the 2003-generated .CSVs are fine, the 2007 versions cause SAP to throw an exception ("Session never created from RFBIBL00") and the upload fails. The question therefore is, has anyone ever come across anything similar, or is anyone aware of any remediation that might be possible? Haven't been able to find any documentation on this Excel 2003-2007 change sonot able to address the issue through Excel config.
Thanks!

OBIEE 11.1.1.5.0 Patch13832750 - Pie Chart 3D issue

Hi,
Since i apply the patch 13832750 I have an issue with 3D Pie chart.
The chart is malformed, there are lines which fall outside the graph..
I uninstalled the patch but the issue persists.
Have you already see this problem?
Thanks,
Adrien

Haven't seen this issue, but I may be able to help with two suggestions:
1. NEVER use pie charts, they don't display information well
2. Never add 3d clutter to any type of chart, it only makes the chart more difficult to process and understand
Great source for information on this is Stephen Few at http://perceptualedge.com
Hope this helps,

Crystal 2008 Pie Chart Display Issues

Hello all,
I am having some problems with the Crystal Viewer displaying charts and legends. Basically, what is going on is, I have a report that displays a pie chart and legend containing data on departments within a store. I have 39 departments that need to show in the chart/legend, but only about 33 show up on the chart and 24 show up in the legend. Does anyone have any ideas if this is a limitation of the chart or anything?
TIA
-Coty

There is no limitations for pie chart and legend. maximise the chart through edge draging.it shows all(increase the chart size)...
All the best,
Praveen

Excel 2007-SAP Copy & Paste Issue

I'm not sure this is the correct forum so if it needs to be moved please let me know.
I am not a programmer, but we have a custom transaction that allows financial personnel to copy rows (sometimes tens of thousands) of data from Excel into SAP - which has the Office Integration tool excel embedded in the screen. Sometimes the user may have one or several different Excel 2007 windows open and one more SAP client windows open. Both SAP and Excel will periodically "lock up" or "freeze" after either one or several copy and paste functions. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it. The only common theme I can gather is it only happens in Excel 2007 and not Excel 2003.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Cindy,
I am getting some problems in copying text from crm web ui portal to excel 2007. I am not sure about this, as it is SAP related problem or with windows 7.
Earlier we were using Windows XP but now after windows 7 we are getting this problem and its not only for web ui, but I copied some text from SAP marketplace into excel2007 and it shows popup which asks for credetials, even if you give your all possible credentials it doesnt work and you have to kill the Excel from task manager.
Can you please guide me in this.
I m not sure whether I m on right forum or not. Please reply.

Office 365 OneDrive issues in relation to Excel 2007

Hi support
I have a client with Office 365, where he uses OneDrive on a local PC with Office 2007.
On this PC he can't open Excel files using the Windows Explorer where he navigates to the OneDrive-folder. It simply says:
"Cannot open file" , and it is the samme error if he tries to copy the Excel file to his local desktop, or tries to open it as an attached file in a mail.
The event-log does not show anything neither.
However if he opens Excel 2007 on his PC, and opens the Excel document THROUGH the program, then he can open the file sucessfully. (There is also no problems with other files on OneDrive, like Word or PDF-files, only Excel files that are causing the error)
Other users can open the exact same files with no problems using an Excel 2013 on their local PCs.
We have tried to run a repair of the Office 2007 and OneDrive, but it didn't solve the problem.
I hope you can help
Best regards
John B.

Hi,
Does the issue occur if the Excel file is in your other folders apart from the OneDrive folder? If yes, let's try the steps below in Excel 2007 to fix the issue:
1. Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click
Excel Options.
2. Click Advanced, and then clear the Ignore other applications that use Dynamic Data Exchange (DDE) check box in the
General area.
3. Click OK.
For more information, you can refer to this kb below:

I hope the information is helpful.

Hi,
What's the extension of this file? And what happens if you download the Excel file to your local driver, then open this file using Excel 2007, did you still get the same error message? If you didn't get the same error message, you can take
a look at the article below:

In addition, as your request is related to SharePoint, you can submit a new case here:

When copying a Pie Chart from one Excel tab to a new Excel tab, the chart data is still referring to the original table

Hi,
In Excel 2007, I have a pie chart on sheet 1. I want to make a copy of the pie chart from sheet 1 and past into sheet 2, and change the table data in sheet 2 to get new chart recalculated based on new table values in sheet 2.
However, the chart in sheet 2 is still pointing to the table data in sheet 1.
All the cells in sheet 1 have relative cells.
Please advise.
Thanks - Bijan

Hello Wind,
As teylyn suggested:
"An Excel chart is hard-wired to its data source. You can copy and paste a chart to a different sheet and it will still refer to the initial source data."
So I did create the template and used in my 2nd tab which worked perfectly. However, I had an issue with merged cells which I am using for my data, and tylyn suggested that I provide the excel file that I am working with, and I did.
So now I need help as how to make merged cells work when I try to create a pie chart from template based on new data (which reside in mergerd cells).
P.S. I cannot resize my cells to make the data and labels fit into one call, so I have to have merged cells.
Thanks
Bijan

Any help would be appreciated

Not so much Excel (or, at least not so much that I remember) but I've read a
LOT of messages about problems with Word'07
You might want to check and make sure you have all MS Office updates installed, to fix any known bugs... plus make sure your version of Acrobat is fully up to date

Insert Pie Chart to Excel Using OpenXml

I managed to implement the code(I got from MSDN) to create a bar graph in excel, I am however facing challenges in creating a piechart, I had thought that I can manipulate the code a little bit and produce a pie chart-but I have spent nights and
nights still can't find my way to create a pie chart. I need help on this, I would appreciate if you can help me through this.
F.Shumba

Hi F.Shuba,
From the description, you want to create a piechart using Open XML.
A recommend way is that create a pie chart manually and use Open XML SDK 2.5 Productivity Tool to open this workbook. Then you can get the code for creaing the chart for reference.
If you still have issue, please feel free to let me know.

BO Excel 2007 Upgrade- Help ..Graph Issues

Hi All,
I am wanting to troubleshoot some formatting challenges we are having and would like to add Excel 2007 as a download format to see if it cures my issue. Can I request somewhere or can we upgrade to 2007?
My challenge is that the chart formatting in BO is perfect but the excel file changes things like size, frequency of labels, etc. I am hoping because we dump in 2003 excel that somehow the compatibility is making those adjustments on its own. I can only test that theory if 2007 is available to BOu2026 make sense? Currently takes me about 25-30 minutes to adjust in excel where that could be a zero time. 

After upgrading the SAP Business One to 2007B version, When I looked into the user tables and user defined fields, all nvarchar fields got changed to nvarchar(max) from nvarchar(n). Why did it change so? How should I proceed in this?
System habit the nvarchar(max). Create keys (indexes cannot be defined over it).
In CR your should cast the User Defined fields as nvarchar with limited length for grouppin , summarize and parameters
(cast (U_TEXT as nvarchar(10)) as U_TEXT in your CR Query.

Problems with Excel 2007 PDF conversion

I'm trying to convert an Excel 2007 workbook into a PDF. I installed Acrobat 8.1.3 Professional onto my machine and it put an Acrobat Menu choice in Excel. So I can convert, but now I have a host of problems/issues, probably arising from the fact that I'm new to this.
1. The Acrobat add-in moved my Page Breaks inside Excel
2. Now I can't seem to change the page breaks at all in Page Break Preview
3. My Reset Page Breaks in Excel is grayed out
4. Acrobat conversion gave me a message "Cannot create tags for Worksheets with Print Titles. Clear Print Titles field in Page Setup dialog". I did have Print titles, but now in that dialog box they don't show. The field isn't even editable.
I have saved the Excel file, not realizing that this Acrobat add-in has apparently altered the Excel file itself. I am now told by someone that I should just not use that Acrobat menu in Excel, and load the Excel file from Acrobat 8 itself. Nice to know. But is there anyway to "reset" my Excel file and remove/adjust what's been done to it, especially the Page Breaks. Or am I missing something obvious?

In general, you should not have the page breaks and all locked out by the addition of the Adobe PDF printer and converter. One trick to pull is to try to find the option in Excel Options that allows the output to use the printer metrics and be sure it is turned off. That should mean that you do not get changes as you change the printer. However, the issue of some of your menu items being locked and such is strange.

Pie Chart issue

What is the solution of the following scenario, i am using the Dundas charting control
shawn aslam

Hi Rashmi,
Thanks for your reply. But unfortunately it was not solving my issue. Because I am using Pie chart where there are no series. It has only categories. So i cannot set which column to show and which column to hide. Also I am having only one column marked as visible in my query so i think i do not need to mention any settings in the web templates. Also I am publishing the graphs in portal so excel settings is also not needed for me.
Thanks .

Why does a excel pie chart fail to import as vector elements?

Hello. I' m importing Excel 2008 excel pie charts to illustrator CS5. I am cutting and pasting content between the applications to import. When importing a pie chart - the chart imports OK, but the pie elements import as low resiolution non-vector elements. Is there a way to import as 100% vector elements? Note - all other chart types - bar graphs etc import fine!. thanks AH
