Excel would update charts based on a list.  I can't get Numbers to do this.

Hey All,
I'm working on porting over an employee sales figures spreadsheet from Excel to Numbers. The data that I have in Excel is in a list, so you can sort columns highest to lowest based on margins, or sales per hour, ect. When I make a chart of this data in Excel, the data in the chart changes in real time each time I sort a different column. Example, I have 3 different bar charts. One is for how many sales records are recorded each hour, ones is how much $$ is made per hour, and one is how much $$ margin is made per hour. If I decide to organize my list from descending to ascending based on the $$ per hour, that chart then adjusts instantly to show me highest to lowest for that category, however... if I then change the info in the records made per hour to see it from highest to lowest, that chart changes to show me that info, but then the other charts are out of order.
My issue is that when I make the same charts in Numbers, they are made based on the where the table is when I make them, so if I want to quickly change which column is organized highest to lowest, the chart doesn't change with it. Can numbers do this like Excel? Is there something I'm missing?
THANKS FOR THE HELP!!!

Charting in Numbers is still a little primitive.
Regards,

  • Chart based on Select list with submit Lov problem

    Hi,
    I have one page with interactive report showing username with links, date and
    database actions.
    Another page contains one region having flash chart based on select list with submit Lov.
    The lov is created by dynamic query.
    Every time when i click the 1st page report link, the 2nd page lov is populating the value automatically. But the problem is chart displays NO DATA FOUND message though the LOV has many values.
    I don't want to display any null values so set to NO for LOV
    I tried to write Before header computation (PL/SQL Function Body) to set the lov value, but the query is displayed as such.
    I don't want to assign any static default value also as the values are dynamic for every link.
    The following is my Before header computation of Select list with submit (Item name is p11_schema). (PLSQL Function Body)
    begin
    if :p11_schema is null then
    return 'select distinct owner schema1, owner schema2 from auditing
    where access_date=' || :p11_access_date
    || ' and username=' || :p11_username
    || ' order by owner';
    end if;
    end;
    This is my chart query.
    select null link, obj_name label, sum(sel_count) "Select", sum(ins_count) "Insert", sum(upd_count) "Update", sum(del_count) "Delete" from auditing
    where username=:p11_username
    and access_date=:p11_access_date
    and owner=NVL(:p11_schema, OWNER)
    group by owner, obj_name
    Example: If there more than one records in the lov, the graph should display the 1st record. When i select another record, the chart accordingly display the selected values. But inially it should not display "NO DATA FOUND" message.
    I tried using all the combinations of computation type for the lov, SQL query ( I could not use if conditon then), PLSQL expression, PLSQL function body. But it does not work out.
    Can anyone please help me out.
    Thanks.

    Hi Scott,
    Thanks for your reply.
    I found out the solution for this problem as below.
    But i did it in different way to tackle the dynamic query wich returns more than one record using rownum always the 1st record when it is empty instead of assigning constant (static) value like '1'. And i am returning LOV itself for both null or not null condition as below.
    Declare
    q varchar2(4000);
    begin
    if :p11_schema is null then
    q:='select distinct owner schema from auditing';
    q:=q || ' where username=:p11_username ';
    q:=q || ' and access_date=:p11_access_date ';
    q:=q || ' and rownum<2 order by owner';
    Execute immediate q into :p11_schema USING :p11_username, :p11_access_date;
    end if;
    return :P11_SCHEMA;
    end;
    Thanks.

    Leopard is no longer available at the Apple Store but may be available by calling Apple Phone Sales @ 1-800-MY-APPLE (1-800-692-7753).
    If you can't obtain a retail install DVD from Apple, look on eBay or Google the installer part numbers to possibly find at an on-line store. Here's what to look for:
    MB427Z/A  Leopard 10.5.1 install DVD
    MB576Z/A  Leopard 10.5.4 install DVD
    MB021Z/A  Leopard 10.5.6 install DVD (single user)

    Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard Installation and Setup Guide

    After you install the base 10.5, download & install the 10.5.8 combo update at http://support.apple.com/downloads/Mac_OS_X_10_5_8_Combo_Update
    The DVD should look like this
    Caution - Leopard does not support classic mode. So, if you currently open OS 9 apps in classic mode, you won't be able to do this if you upgrade to Leopard.

  • I do not want to update to Lollipop right now.  How can I get rid of the notification that wants me to install.  It says 'Install Later' or Install Now. I don't want to do either so how can I get rid of this notification that keeps popping up?

    You cannot stop it from popping up.
    it will continue every few minutes until its installed.
    just keep using the back button near right side of home button.

    <E-mail Edited by Host>

    The option to update without the computer (Over the air) was made available with iOS 5. If your iDevice is using a version of iOS lower than 5, you will need to use iTunes on your syncing computer to perform the upgrade. Use the Apple link below as a guide for the upgrade.

    Also read the instructions from the section entitled "Update your device using iTunes" at the link below.

  • Hi anyone. Can I buy an SD card reader for my old Powerbook G4, OSX, 10.4.11 and it's only USB. I've never needed one previously but I now need to update the firmware on my camera. Can I get one, if so which one's best? Many thanks.

    Hello,
    If it is a PowerBook G4 with a PC Card slot, you have two possibilities. You could buy a USB card reader for SD, or a PC Card adapter (such as SanDisk's 6-in-1adapter). Please note that you are or may be limited to plain SD (that is, not SDHC) unless otherwise noted. For a USB reader, make sure that it has Mac support. BTW, is an SD card absolutely necessary for the firmware update; is there not a way of updating via cable? If you post back with the camera model, someone may be able to provide additional information.

  • TS1363 I recently updated my iphone overnight and today I can't get it to come on, I've tried the restore and nothing works.  I've tried syncing with 3 different computers and nothing works. I'm getting the black screen, white apple and a line under that

    I updated my phone overnight and now I can't get it to come on.  I've tried everything, I have a black screen, white apple and a mine below that looks like it's trying to load but it has stopped.  HELP!

    You're not alone. I am having similar problems with my Ipod 5th gen 30gb.
    When I connect it to my laptop (Vista - basic) it is not recognised by itunes. Itunes simply locks up.
    So far I have tried the following to no avail:
    Checked my pc's device manager - it recognises the device and says it is functioning properly.
    Checked the drivers to make sure they are upt to date.
    Uninstalled & reinstalled a previous version of itunes (as it worked fine before the latest release).
    Reinstalled the latest itunes.
    Reset the ipod.
    Put the ipod into disk mode and reconnected to itunes.
    Have tried to use the windows tool to scan and fix any bad sectors but it fails to complete a scan without locking that up as well.
    Placed into disk mode when fully charged and then allowed the battery to drain completely. Then reconnected ipod (in disk mode)and it still is not recognised and locks up itunes.
    At this point I dont really want to part with another $300 odd dollars for a new one.

  • Add a Chart based on SharePoint list

    Hi,
    I'm looking for a way to add a Chart based on list data. I've tried the following article but no Chart is showing after teh upload.
    I read about Excel services as replacements to the 2010 Chart web part but how to accomplish that in 2013?
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks a lot in advance

    Hi,
    As I understand, you want to add a Chart based on list data in SharePoint 2013.
    You cannot see the chart web part in web part area in SharePoint 2013. There is a workaround, you can export the chart web part in SharePoint 2010 and import it to the SharePoint 2013.
    1. Export chart web part in SharePoint 2010:
    Site action->site setting->Galleries->web parts->select the MossChartWebPart.webpart and edit it -> export the web part.
    2. Import the chart web part into SharePoint 2013:
    Go to the page you want to add the web part and edit the page->click add web part -> browse the chart web part you have saved ->upload the chart web part.
    After these steps you can use the chart web part, and you can use data & appearance to connect the chart to data, then you can connect to the list.
    There is a similar case:

  • I just updated to ios 5 and now I can't get through the set up.  has made me change password three times and says my email address is already taken... well yeah, that's me.  how to go on?

    can't get through set up after updateing to iOS 5???  any ideas?

    If the problem persists after you reboot as suggested by Ralph:
    Trouble connecting usually means interference, or another WiFi on the same channel.
    If you have any cordless phones, keyboards, or cameras, check what frequency they use.
    From a MAC or Windows machine you can see what channel each of the available networks are using.  Make sure your network is on a channel nobody else nearby is also using.

  • How can I reset the font type and size on my email. It changed after I updated to Firefox 5.0 and I can't get it back.

    After updating to Firefox 5.0 the font changed on my email. I checked, and the default setting is what I had put in before the update but it's not working. How can I get my email to use the font and type size that I chose? The one that's currently being used (since after the update) is so tiny one can hardly see it. My email program is through yahoo but there doesn't seem to be a way to change it at the email site. I'm not terribly PC savvy so please respond with a detailed/explicit answer. Thanks for any help you can give me with this. I have Windows XP and use Firefox as my browser.

    Hi again...,,yes, I did try the "reset zoom" on the email compose message page and nothing happened. I'm not familiar with add-ons. Went to the address you suggested (DefaultFullZoomLevel) but don't know how to use it. Also, I don't want to enlarge the text on all web pages.....just the email page. By the way, if it makes a difference, I think I forgot to mention that I use AT&T/Yahoo webmail....not Outlook Express or Thunderbird or any other email program. I'm not familiar with those and don't want to change email programs. Thanks again for trying to help with this. I'm beginning to think this problem is "unfixable" and considering changing back to a previous edition of Firefox (IF that's even possible).
