Follow up to formating axis values

I am on to yet another chart that isn't working the way I want it to. I did not see anything else in the forum, so, here we go.
I have a table that is showing the breakdown of two sets of data into percentages in bins. Imagine a histogram table converted to percentages.
I would like to take that chart and create a bar graph. However, the value axis that should be from 0 to 100% shows as 0 to 1.00 with steps at .25 , .50, and .75.
Not a huge problem, as I'd like to think my readers can convert, but... is there a way to have percentages show rather than raw numbers.
The chart is formatted properly in percentages.

Yvon,
Many thanks for the response. I searched under "formatting axis" and found nothing. I appreciate you looking elsewhere.
In reading this post and a ton of others recently, I do wonder from this community of persons who have been using Numbers far longer than I have: "Don't you get tired of workarounds?" It seems that every question I ask is answered with a workaround, not an intuitive solution built into the product. If I have a flat tire, carrying my car to work is not a solution. It just seems that many persons seem to see no problem in "oh, the program doesn't do that, but you can make it look like it does with this simple script."
I'm just wondering why people like Numbers better than Excel. I have used Excel for 15 years and loved it. (****, I was a MultiPage user back in the early 80s, so I know a bad spreadsheet program.)I went Mac based on some other needs where the PC was not living up to expectations, and love the Mac dearly and heaven knows its a better machine. But the software (expecially Numbers) seems to leave an awful lot to be desired. I have read too many complaints about Office 2008 for the Mac to go down that path, so I am doing my best to adapt to this strange Numbers world.

Line Charts - X-axis Labels as function of X-axis value

Hi,
1) Is there a way to put X-Axis labels in line chart as function of X-axis values ?
For instance, X-axis values are in minutes and I need to show those as Hours.
I'm having Hours as separate column as well, but when its selected as X-axis value column, the line graph is disturbed.
2) Also, how to specify the length/range of X-axis ?
For instance, in dataset if I've x-axis values from 0 to 5 hours but still want to show on graph the X-axis till 8 hours.
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Sumit

Hi Sumit,
I have tried following things with proper datetime format may be help you.
1> in your applet code you can add below param
<PARAM NAME="XAxisDateFormat" VALUE="H">
it will display your levels in hours for more details please refer Date and Time Format under query template in MII help.
2>In your Query template under date range you can select duration and duration unit.
for 8 hour span you can select Duration = 8 and in duration unit = H
I have tested it for a tag query, may be i did not understand your issue properly but hope it helps you!!!

Log Axis value?

Hello
The X axis I think in the display panel logQ base Q, but the X axis value or the logQ this calculated value, for example: the requirement that correspond to the 1000 in the log1000 X axis,. Would you please tell me how to do? As shown in Fig.
Thank you

I'm not sure if I understood you correctly, but every single axis in a graph can have a log scale: you can set it this way:
The result is as follows:
If this is not your problem, can you rephrase your questio so that we can understood what you need?

Adobe Reader/Acrobat hangs if single apostrophe is used incorrectly in format picture value statemen

I am using the following Adobe Software and versions:
Also, see the attached test file.
If you try to open this file in Adobe Acrobat/Reader, it will hang.
But, if you change the script on the text field on the form ready event, to be as follows:
var theDftValue =
'This sub-section will provide rational for country and sector'+
"Support and relevance of the Bank''s intervention-in-line with Country "+
"and sector analysis and major conclusions drawn in the above sections"
this.format.picture.value = "null{'" + theDftValue + "'}";
Then it will work as expected.
It took me several hours to find the source of the problem, so I am reporting hopefully it will be taken care of such in a future update.

Formatting Currency Value

hi,
In my page i have a table that displays values from the database. To do this, i have created a VO programmatically, since the VO has to change dynamically.
In my database one of my column is of type NUMBER and shows the value like 10000.00. What i want is when i display this value in my OAPage, i want it to be formatted to 10,000.00. I dont have any EO, i have created the VO also programmatically.
I have a basic idea that i have to use decimalFormat for this, but i am not know where and how should i use it.
Please help me regarding this.
Thanking you

Hi,
Using OATotalRowBean, i have wrriten the following statements to format the total values displayed in each and every column of a table whose Totalling is set to true.
OATableBean tableBean = (OATableBean)webBean.findChildRecursive("Table");
if(tableBean != null)
OATotalRowBean totalRowBean = (OATotalRowBean)tableBean.getColumnFooter();
System.out.println("Formattotal : "+totalRowBean);
if (totalRowBean != null)
oracle.cabo.ui.validate.Formatter formatter = new OADecimalValidater("#,##0.00;#,##0.00","#,##0.00;#,##0.00");
totalRowBean.setAttributeValue(ON_SUBMIT_VALIDATER_ATTR, formatter);
In the guide its mentioned to use getColumnFooter method of a tablebean. Even the example uses like the above. But when i do a dot after the tableBean ie in its intellisense the getColumnFooter() method is found striked. Still if i use it as above to format the total value, nothing is being formatted in my page and the variable totalRowBean returns a null value. I dont know where and what is wrong with this.
Please help me in formatting the total value of table's each and every column to currency as formatted in the column values.
Thanking you

Excel MSGraph Axis Value w/ Report Gentration Tool kit help needed

Hello,
I am working on making all my Printed Data sheets dynamic so I don't need to have an Excel Template for each test I create. I have been able to make my own modifications to some of the Report Generation tool kit VIs to add little things I need or want changed, but I am stuck.
I currently have LabVIEW writing Charts in Excel, using the Insert Graph VIs from the tool kit but I want to be able to make the X Axis Values invisible but leave the Y values for this particular data sheet. I have looked through all my documentation but cannot find anything referring to setting that.
What is the correct ActiveX Method and/or Property that I need to incorporate to do this? I found that in Excel if I click on the Chart it is in the Chart Options Menu but I cannot find a way to control it through LabVIEW.
I am currently using 7.1.1 with Office 98 and the Report Generation Toolkit 1.1.0
Any ideas?
Thanks

Hello,
LabVIEW should have access to everything that the excel ActiveX object publishes. One way to discover how to do it would be to record a macro in excel, where your recorded actions are on the x-axis as you desire. This way you will have a macro which you can run that will do this for you. Perhpas more importantly, you will then be able to look at the code for that macro you recorded, and make the equivalent calls in LabVIEW, which should basically expose which ActiveX calls on that object achieve the axis modification. In any event, to help you with this process, below are some useful links. Also, you will find other threads on this matter if you search the discussion forums.

How to change axis values in Numbers

In v1.7 I have tried to change the axis values on existing charts but can't find how to do it...
So I tried to create bar charts from scratch in order to rebuild the old ones with the new axis data but I can't find out how to set any of the axis values on chart creation now!!
Has something changed - or am I just thick/blind?!!

Is it so difficult to read given answers ?
Barry described the correct scheme.
In the table "to_chart", the cell A1 contains :
=ROUNDUP(ABS(MIN(Tableau 1 :: B:E))/10,0)*10
The cell B2 embed the formula :
=$A$1+Tableau 1 :: B2
Apply fill down and fill to the right.
On the left edge, the colored rectangle is a text block in which I inserted the label values.
Of course if you dislike this scheme, you are perfectly free to use an other application.

First thing is as Tapash has pointed out, How did you do it which is not working? Second point is that there is straight forward mention of this scenario in Advanced table section of the Dev guide. Have a look.

Line chart cuts off x-Axis value

Hi All,
Have created a display to display an x-Axis value versus a Y-Axis value using a Line Chart. We want to maximize the chart space so we have removed the Legend from the display, problem is doing this cuts of part of the final x-Axis label and part of the final data point on the graph ? Why - can we move the borders out ?
Emmett

Emmett,
You can "Fake" some extra space out of the right side of the chart by setting the legend colors to blend into the background of the chart. This includes unchecking the "Use Pen Color?" box and setting the labels in the legend to match as well. Then simply set the legend to be whatever additional width you need. Other than this there's not really any other way that I can think of. Hope this helps.

Stacked Bar showing VALUE literal instead of X axis value in hover hint

I am converting to APEX 3.0 and noticed that the new "Show Hint" doesnt display the X axis value on a Stacked bar. Instead it shows the literal "VALUE". For example, I am displaying the number of orders for a given day. X=date, Y = count. I was expecting the Hint to display "11/15/07, 15" but instead it displays "VALUE, 15".
This same sql displays correctly when I use it in a Line Chart.
Any ideas? Thank You

How to format the value in narrative ?

Hi Experts,
In BIEE 11,
How to format the value in narrative , such as separator.
In table or pivot property, I have set the separator for measure , but in narrative, the format will be disappeared. So how to implement this requirment?

I had this problem with 11.1.1.6.0
If you want this format as the default display format for this column everywhere, then you can save that format as default display format for the column or data type (Lower right corner of data format tab: "Save as Default" button, "Save as the system-wide default for "Table"."Column"). When I had the problem the narratives did use the default display format.
Another workaround could be a direct database call to convert the data to a string. For example, in Oracle
EVALUATE('TO_CHAR(%1,%2)' AS CHAR(30), “Table".“Column" ,'$9,999.00')
but you may need to set EVALUATE_SUPPORT_LEVEL in your nqsconfig.ini, and this ties you to the database technology.

How do I update the chart axis values??

I created a Gantt (bar chart) chart in Numbers for a project at work showing schedules. It looked fine, and everything worked great. I want to use that same chart, but I want to just update the data in it. I can get the bars to change, but the Y axis data (not the numbered values in the chart, but rather the the actual names out to the side of the chart) will not change. For instance....
Name
Start Date
Finish
Task 1
January 1, 2013
January 15, 2013
Task 2
February 1, 2013
February 15, 2013
The Tasks on the left will be the Y axis fields in a bar chart....and the dates will populate the graph. I've created my graph from this data and got it like I want it. Now let's say I want to simply change some things in the Name column:
Name
Start Date
Finish
New Task
January 1, 2013
January 15, 2013
Task 4
February 1, 2013
February 15, 2013
So without creating a new chart or anything, I just want to reflect the new names in my existing chart. In Excel, when you change the value data, it updates the chart and "it just works" . I'm wanting to use Numbers for this, and I feel like this is a simple thing that I'm just missing. Help!

Jerrold....thanks for the reply. While you didn't answer my question exactly (I know I was a bit vague), you did put me on the right path. I was trying to get the Category Axis values to change on the chart whenever I updated them in the table itself. I couldn't figure out why they weren't but I think I have now.
I noticed that in the Category Axis field (Inspector) it had the actual typed names of my tasks from the table instead of the cell locations. So...."Task 1" instead of "Table 1: C7". I cleared out all of the text in the Category Axis field, which removed it from the chart. then I just clicked on the fields in the table and it populated the Category Axis blank with the table/cell info instead of the text. So now when I update one of the fields, it updates the chart because it's pulling from the cell data every time.
I'm not really sure why Number, by default, enters the text into the Category Axis when making a chart instead of putting in the corresponding cell locations, but whatever. I got it working now and should be good to go going forward, thanks for your help.

Graph: Get Right Y-Axis value with GetGraphCursor

Hello,
I'm currently developing an application for a customer which contains data being evaluated in a graph control.
There are different scalings of data so I use the left y-axis for digital data and right x-axis for analog data.
Now I want to add an annotation marker with the current X and Y value being displayed, when the user clicks into the graph.
I use those two functions to determine the position and affected plot of the marker:
GetGraphCursor(tabHandle2, TABPANEL_2_GRAPH, 1, &x, &y);
GetGraphCursorIndex(tabHandle2, TABPANEL_2_GRAPH, 1, &plotHandle, &plotIndex);
Now this works fine for the left y-axis, but I can't seem to find a way to get the y-axis value of the right side plot.
I figure plotHandle and plotIndex should help me to get this data, but sadly I don't know how to use this information.

Ok to clarify:
I have a graph with plot values on the left and right y axis. Some plots use the left and some the right side.
On default there is no cursor in this graph. But I want to provide the option for the user to enable a cursor.
When the cursor is enabled it snaps on to the closest plot and an annotation shows the respective x and y values of the plot point.
The problem is, when the left y axis is active and the cursor snapped onto a right y axis plot, the displayed y value is wrong (since the left scale is used).
By left clicking into the graph, the user is able to snap the cursor onto another plot.
So the main problem is, when clicking on a plot, the active axis has to change according to the plots respective axis.
I can easily make this decision since the plot styles are different (left side is VAL_FAT_STEP, right side is VAL_FAT_LINE), but for the axis switch to take effect on the cursor, I would need to delete and add the cursor again. But in this process I lose positioning of the cursor and it snaps to a different plot again.

How to get y axis value(in a numeric control) by providing x-axis value using wave graph

Hi,
I'm new here, Sorry if i have selected wrong Location.
I want to get Y-axis value (in a numeric Control) by providing X-axis Value using Wave graph.
i want to do calculations with the obtained value.
i have attached File and Snapshot.

Well, you are using the Dynamic Data Type, which I almost never use, but if you convert the data to a WaveForm (using From DDT on the Signal Manipulation Palette, which is a choice when you right-click on the DDT Wire), you should be able to do this. Do you know about how Waveforms are stored? They are a Cluster, with t0 being a TimeStamp for the start of the Waveform, dt being the time step, and Y being the samples. So if you want a point at 0.5 seconds and dt is 0.001, you would pull out the point at Index 499 (offset 0) from the Y array.
