Funnel Chart - Using 'Target talue for final stage only'

On the Funnel Chart, what does the 'Target value for final stage only' checkbox do?
The help screen says: Indicates whether the target value should appear for each stage or for the final stage only.
What does that mean? And what do the values across the top of the funnel chart represent when that box is checked?
Here's my data:
Month..........YTD Sales...... Sales Budget...Progress
Jan-03......... 8,400,440 ... 130,262,073 .....6.4%
Feb-03....... 17,354,267 ... 130,262,073 ....13.3%
Mar-03....... 26,946,411 ... 130,262,073 ....20.7%
Apr-03....... 37,403,576 ... 130,262,073 ....28.7%
May-03...... 48,776,812 ... 130,262,073 ....37.4%
Jun-03....... 60,194,086 ... 130,262,073 ....46.2%
Jul-03........ 70,899,728 ... 130,262,073 ....54.4%
Aug-03...... 81,168,655 ... 130,262,073 .....62.3%
Sep-03...... 93,830,444 ... 130,262,073 .....72.0%
Oct-03..... 105,536,047 ... 130,262,073 .....81.0%
Nov-03..... 117,620,559 ... 130,262,073 .....90.3%
Dec-03..... 130,276,514 ... 130,262,073 ...100.0%
When I display a funnel chart without that box checked, the values across the top of the chart look right. My Stage is set to Month, and there are 12 stages. My Actual is YTD Sales. My Target is Annual Sales Budget. Each of the numbers across the top of the chart show percentages that are "correct", starting with 6.4% in January, 13.3% in February, and so forth. A very understandable progression and accumulation of YTD vs Annual Budget.
If I check the 'Target value for final stage only' box, the values shown across the top of the funnal change dramatically, as shown here in the 'Final Only' column.
Month........YTD Sales.....Sales Budget.....Final Only
Jan-03....... 8,400,440 ...130,262,073 ......1.3%
Feb-03......17,354,267 ...130,262,073 ......3.0%
Mar-03......26,946,411 ...130,262,073 ......5.1%
Apr-03......37,403,576 ...130,262,073 .......8.0%
May-03.....48,776,812 ...130,262,073 .....11.7%
Jun-03......60,194,086 ...130,262,073 .....16.5%
Jul-03.......70,899,728 ...130,262,073 .....22.3%
Aug-03.....81,168,655 ...130,262,073 .....29.7%
Sep-03.....93,830,444 ...130,262,073 .....40.3%
Oct-03....105,536,047 ...130,262,073 .....54.0%
Nov-03....117,620,559 ...130,262,073 .....73.0%
Dec-03....130,276,514 ...130,262,073 ....100.0%
I can't see how those percentages make any sense at all. Any ideas?

Hi,
There is a way to move posting but I do not have the authority to do so in this forum.
Which is odd, as I have extra authority to manage this forum.
So, in this case, I would recommend must copy paste and create a new posting.
You can always request a thread to be moved in the future as there may be someone monitoring the forum that has the authority.
Thanks, Mark

How to insert a Chart using Template Builder for Word 2007

Hello,
I am trying to insert a chart in my report, but the OK button in the Chart dialog box is disabled. I am able to move the data but OK button would never become available.
Does anybody knows what happend?
I' using BI Publisher 10.1.3.4 and Word 2007
Any help would be really appreciated :)
Regards,

Hi,
Probably this will help you.
Uninstall the template builder for word and restart you system and re-install it.
Because this is add in component in MS Word.So some times this installation is not perfect.Try it once.
I hope this will work

What kind of hard drive would be best to use as cache for Final Cut?

Hi,
I'm having problems with Final Cut Pro because it hangs a lot and runs real slow. I've checked the hard drives and found one of them had problems so I'm going to change it. For a SATA interface, what type of HHDD would you recomend, internal SATA II, External high speed firewire like Apple's G-Drive?
Thanks in advance

If you have additional drive bays available inside your Mac, that would be my first choice. Second choice would be an external eSATA setup and last would be an external Firewire drive.
>External high speed firewire like Apple's G-Drive?
Apple makes a G-Drive? I thought those were only from G-Tech: http://www.g-technology.com/products/g-drive.cfm

Using JavaCompiler Class for Debugging Info Only

Hello everyone,
Before I get started into the problem, I'll tell you what it is I'd like to do. I'm building an educational applet that'll allow students learning Java programming to write code on a Web page. My goal is to simulate a compiler environment without having it actually compile code (i.e. I want to tell them if there are any syntactic errors in their code). I've searched around the Web quite a bit for how to do this, and I thought I had something by using the JavaCompiler class. It works perfectly in a command-line version I've developed, but in the applet, when I invoke the compiler, the applet freezes. I've isolated it to the compiler call itself. Here is the init method (yes, I know it's a better idea to do the hard work and GUI building in a separate class; but right now, I'm just checking if it all works).
@Override
public void init()
output = new JTextArea(5, 30);
this.getContentPane().add(output);
PrintWriter out = new PrintWriter(new TextAreaWriter(output));
out.print("Hello!");
JavaCompiler compiler = ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler();
String program = "class Test{" + " public static void main (String [] args){"
+ " System.out.printl (\"Hello, World\");"
+ " System.out.println (args.length);" + " }" + "}";
Iterable<? extends JavaFileObject> fileObjects;
fileObjects = getJavaSourceFromString(program);
compiler.getTask(null, null, null, getOptions(), null, fileObjects).call();
If I exclude the bold line of code, the applet runs. Otherwise it hangs and does nothing. I imagine this has something to do with the execution environment, permissions, etc. If you'd like to see more of the code I'm using, let me know.
My questions are these: is there an easier way to go about this? Is there a way to invoke the compiler to get its output only, WITHOUT directly compiling a class? Is there a Magic Library designed for this that I've somehow overlooked? I know JDB only works on already-compiled class files; there's a tool called Checkstyle that seems to be more for formatting and subtle issues of style (hence, the name) than actual error checking (not to mention, it requires compiled code as well).
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated, all. :) Let me know if you need more info.

>
I checked the console after the freeze; it's handing me a NullPointerException for that line, which would be understandable except all of the arguments to call() can deal with null values. ( http://download.oracle.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/tools/JavaCompiler.html )
From the javadoc for ToolProvider.getSystemJavaCompiler():
Returns:
the compiler provided with this platform or null if no compiler is providedSo it's definitely possible that compiler.getTask(null, null, null, getOptions(), null, fileObjects) returns null.
Indeed that's what I would expect from a browser's JVM (which includes only a JRE, and not a JDK).

Use mail app for POP account only?

This may be a stupid question, but my .mac trial has recently expired, and I do not wish to pay for an entire .mac account because I only enjoy using the e-mail portion of it. I have set up my gmail account so that the e-mail gets forwarded to my mail, but is there any way to send e-mails from my mail application using my POP account now that my .mac is expired?

I'm not sure I understand you rquestions - It sounds like you want to discontinue your .Mac account but continue to use your .Mac email - I do not believe that that is an option
If you are switching to gmail (or for that matter adding gmail) you can set up Apple Mail to handle your gmail account either as a POP account ( http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=13275&topic=12810 ) or an IMAP account ( http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=81379&topic=1281 ) - gmail help has instructions for this set up and many others as well - a great place to look

Use Time Capsule for local backup only

Hi there,
I think I can do what I need to but need some config assistance. Here is my issue:
I want to use a time capsule that is attached via ethernet cable to my MacBook Pro to backup via Time Machine but I do not need the TC to be used for wireless access.
I have taken the 2TB TC to my office. I have a full WiFi network there that I attach my Macbook to. I have used the AirPort utility and told it to extend a wireless network for the TC. I have given it the credentials for our office network. It seems to be attached (DHCP address assigned) but the TC light keeps flashing yellow.
I see the TC in Time Machine on my MacBook and it is doing an incremental backup (it's been about 2 weeks since the last one so it's big!). However, it seems to be backing up over the office WiFi network and not the locally attached ethernet cable.
So do I need to just disable WiFi altogether on the TC? If I do, it doesn't seem to make the Time Machine volume available to the my Mac. When I go into my Mac's Network Preferences now, and look at the physical ethernet port, it says "self assigned IP address" so I don't think the ethernet cable plugged into the TC is actually doing anything.
Can someone tell me how to correctly set the TC up to locally backup my MacBook through the Ethernet cable but let my MacBook use the company WiFi network for other network activities? Thanks much in advance for the help!

If your office network is created by non-apple routers, then the TC is working in join wireless mode and will turn off the ethernet ports.. in other words you have no connection at all by ethernet and it is irrelevant.
To get this working you will need a pretty snazzy setup..
So first and really important question.. since you are prepared to have something plugged into your MBP.. why not use a USB drive. It is much faster.. even USB2.. and if newer model with USB3 it will completely flatten any network drive. It is much more reliable.. Time Machine operates differently to local drives. And you can also use a program like CCC and create a bootable clone. This is on top of TM backup and well worth it.. A bootable clone will enable your computer to start even with a dead hard disk in a couple of minutes.. not days of sorting through TM.
Anyhow.. To get TM to work to the TC in isolation
1. Factory reset the TC.
2. Do minimal setup of the TC.. it must stay in router mode but simply ignore errors of no internet connection.
3. Here we get to the tricky bit. Open the network preferences and check the IP you get from the wireless office system.
If it is 192.168.x.x for example all will be great. If you get 10.0.x.x or indeed any 10.x address tell me.
The TC will have an IP 10.0.1.1 and will pass the computer 10.0.1.2
What you need to do now is set that statically and change the gateway (router in applespeak) and DNS values.. In most computers you can leave them blank but I found the apple computers prefer you to fill them in so you should copy the values from the wireless connection.
There is a longer discussion of it here.
Can Time Capsule be set up as a second, local network?
This is fairly old but the principles are the same albeit the utility is v5.
If you cannot figure it out post back and I will figure out a v6 set of screenshots.
What I will need to know is the values your wireless gets.. IP, subnet, router, and dns.

Can't use text tool for new text, only editing

I'm a new user, having converted from Pagemaker 6.5. After editing a converted file for several days, I opened today and could not get a cursor, in my text box. It makes a box only and leaves it there. I can edit existing text, and can cut and paste to the empty text box. This only happens in this file, not in oher documents.

Thanks again for your help. Yes , it was a PDF that was emailed to me that caused the problem. Once I deleted it everything printed. Then we scanned the pdf and it was fine. Now, my next challenge is getting the copy to print in black & white without the index showing and some other notations in a color. I tried color separations but in pagemaker, I could select non-printing items. I know there should be a simpler way. My document is supposed to be black & white when printed, but I put the index items and a year reference on each page in color. Thanks again in advance.

Using Auto- Analyzer for Scene detection only (and save time)

As a completely new user of Premier Elements 8 (running on a AMD phenom 3 core, 4g Ram, 500G Sata HD, Win Xp prof) I brought into Organise in the PE8 workspace clips imported in through Windows Movie Maker from my old DV video camera. I wanted to dectect the scene boundaries so I ran Auto-Analyse from the PE8 workspace. This took upto 4 hrs to analyse a 1hr clip which puzzled me as Movie maker only took about 20mins to detect the scenes on a much slower and lower spec laptop.
Tip
If you just want to Scene Detect don'r run Auto-Analyze from Premier workspace instead start with your first clip via the Organiser.   Reason - In the PE8 workspace "Edit" "preferences" Auto-Analyze does not appear so it will run with the defaults which is all tag options selected e.g "focus" "face recognition".
Instead go into Organise from the front page launcher, in "Edit" "preferences" Autoanalyse does appear with all the tag options selected as default   If you deselect all options and then run Autoanalyse on the video clip only scene detection runs on the video (the 1 hour clip was analysed with just the scene boundaries in less than 15mins!) The change from the default seems to apply when you run from the PE8 workspace after this so subsequent scene detection on other clips runs quickly.
P.S.
Old hands may know this trick but so far I had not picked anything up from the web based docs and information - so this is for novices such as myself. There may be other ways of scene detection but in my limited experience have not come across any yet.

Is the GPU used for final render?

Hi,
I started using Speedgrade on my Mac Pro, and I really like it.
I'm getting great playback of my 3K r3d files - realtime at 1/2 res with my ATI 5770,
but when I'm doing my final render from the output tab it will only render 0.7 fps in both online and offline quality.
So I was thinking about getting a GTX 580, but will Speedgrade use the GPU for final renders or only for playback? If it's only for playback it wouldn't make sense for me to buy one.
I'm also struggling with getting my project from Premiere to Speedgrade,
I can export an EDL, but this will only contain one video track - and I usually use multiple.
Is there any way to export a sequence with more than one video track?
Thanks

Hey azton,
Speedgrade is using GPU for playback and CPU for rendering.
Regarding Rendering Speed:
what kind of input resolution do you use? - this is crucial to improve render time. If you want to render out Proxies for example, its recommend using input-res below FULL, generally speaking of 1/4 ... 1/2 etc Res.
By changing InputRes only you wil already notice a speed-up, activating OFFLINE quality should give a additional boost.
What is your Output format? DPX? QT? Your Output Resolution?
Rendering from a 3K image + Colorcorrection/Masks/Secondary + Resizing to XXX OuputRes + Codec (h264, DNxHD) wont be ultra fast though.
EDL:
multiple videotracks are not supported in the CMX3600 EDL standard. You have to deal the EDL as a traditional FINAL/MASTER edit.
hope that helps,
D-A

Check if Someone used Target Disk Mode on my comp?

Is there any way to see if someone "hacked" into my computer using Target Disk Mode? My only thought is to check the Console but I see nothing active during the time frame I was thinking it happened. Also, can someone delete that info from the Console if they wanted?
Thanks for any info.

hawkeyext wrote:
Just tried what you suggested and no, unfortunately the Console does not log that data down. I'm surprised there is no way to find this information out. Does the hard disk have any sort of log for when it's powered on? I know the Apple Geniuses at the store have access to this because they can test out the battery. I've seen them pull up charts with Charging Times and more.
The hard disk will write changes using the date & time set on the device writing to it. In the same way as any other external disk.
You don't seem to have fully grasped that Target disk mode (TDM) is the Mac's firmware turning the Mac into a 'dumb disk drive'. The Mac OS installed on that hard drive is not in control of the OS - otherwise TDM would be useless for restoring a damaged OS. You can use TDM when the HD is blank etc because the installed OS it is not in control.
Permissions still prevent users reading & writing things they don't own, but anyone with experience will be able to disable/ work around that.
BobHarris is right about physical access. Encryption is the only way to go, combined with a lot of powering down when not in use.

How to use Web Serivce for not jsr 172 phone

Hi:
Is anyone know, how to use web service for phones that only have standard J2ME package installed (without jsr 172 web service packagenstalled)?
thank you

Hi,
I think you need to write the code for this from scratch (built on top of existing HTTP functionality). There may be open-source J2ME code you could use. I've never tried this so I'm afraid I don't know any more. But maybe that is what you were asking... i.e. does anyone have code that does this already...

EBusiness tax feature "Tax for Reporting Purposes Only"

Hi everyone,
Did anyone used "Set Tax for Reporting Purposes Only" feature in Etax? If yes, then can you, please, describe me how works in AP/AR modules. Because for some reasons I cannot make it work and Etax User Guide does not contain much information about it.
Thanks in advance,
Vladimir

As I mentioned in the PM, I'm going to list an alternate tax solution here.
It involves using a single tax amount (the lower amount) on all products. That may not sound right, but with some additional steps it's not a bad solution.
Assuming you have two tax amounts, one at 7.5% and another at 9%, you assign all taxable products the lower tax amount.
Then you change the price of the higher taxed products by the difference in the percentage. (if the product was $1, then it is now $1.02) Part of why this works is because the increase is not so significant that customers would usually care.
Using the product attributes, you set up a dropdown list with the options, "tax1" and "tax2"
Each product, in a custom1 field is assigned its appropriate tax name (tax1 or tax2).
The dropdown list is hidden, so the customer doesn't know it's there
When a customer looks at a large product view, js automatically selects the appropriate attribute based on what is in the custom field.
Set up two reports, one for each tax group.
Filter them by attribute, so only the applicable products are shown in the report
Using very simple math (Total x 1.075 and Total x 1.09, depending on which report it is), the accountant will know exactly how much to pay in taxes for each tax type.
At first glance, this looks like a bad solution, but all that really matters is that the company is collecting and paying their taxes. Your client charges the lower amount so they are not overcharging taxes (kind of illegal). The slight price increase of the higher taxed products covers the rest and then some.
