How can I make a label for my chart that changes dynamically when I drag selection of data to adjacent column?

I have a custom budget using Numbers '08 and have labeled a chart in previous versions of my budget but when I tried to update it for the new year I can't figure out how to make the label change dynamically as I drag the selected area to the adjacent column. I have checked Numbers Help and Tutorial videos as wellas the manual and have not found anything that comes close to helping but as I said I had it on previous versions but obviously don't remember how I did it and unfortuanately it is not a very intuitive feature. Thanks in advance for any help on this.

The linkage appears to be automatic, but when broken, does not reattach itself.
Redoing the chart isn'r a long process, though, unless you've made extensive format changes to it. Here's my process, which started with a headerless table wiht the Month labels in Row 1 (and a Chart that had an "Untitled" label on the category axis, and ended with the table and chart shown below:
Click on any cell in the table to activate it.
Go Table > Add Header Row.
Select the cells containing the month names. Copy.
Select the cells in the same columns of the Header row. Paste.
Select the table. If the Header for the current month is highlighted and the month label is on the table, Stop here.  If not (and it probably will not be), continue.
Delete the existing Chart (or drag it aside to use as a colour and style reference)
Unhide any hidden rows used in the Chart.
Select the cells to be charted.
Click the Series orientation control (¡¡¡) to change it. The control will turn 90° and move from the column highlight to the row highlight.
Your table and chart should now resemble the one in the image above. Edit the style as needed and you're done.

Barry

  • 2 questions : How do I know if a video in Flash is streaming? 2nd - how can I make an overlay for video?

    Two questions :
    1) I have created a QT.mov, imported it into Flash, but after
    thinking about it, I want to be sure it is streaming for the web.
    How can I be sure of that? If it is not, what code can I put to
    make sure it is loading?
    2) How can I make an overlay for the video that disappears as
    soon as the user clicks on the play button?

    1. Without a flash ciommunication server for TRUE streaming
    of the file, what you get is called Progressive streaming. This
    means once the video begins to download it can start playing before
    the file has completely downloaded to the user. There are good
    descriptions (including pros and cons) of this here:
    http://www.mediacollege.com/video/streaming/overview.html
    2. If you have the file set to start automatically there will
    be no need for the user to push the play button. You could just put
    a graphic on top of the video component, and use actionscript to
    make the graphic invisible when the play button is pushed.

  • How can I make address labels, preferably matching Avery sizes, in Pages please?

    How can I make address labels, preferably matching Avery sizes, in Pages please?  Please don't tell me there is no labels facility!!

    If you have your addresses set up in Address Book, the logical place for them, that is also the logical place to print them from.
    Pages will only use one data set per page, although there are ways around this. But then that wasn't your question.

  • How can i make a email for my printer

    how can i make a email for my printer to send the things to the email and get it printed if i was out of the house my printer model is 3525

    Hi alhashmi_sy,
    Welcome to the HP Support Forums. I see that you would like to learn how to setup the ePrint feature of your Deskjet Ink Advantage 3525 printer.
    The first step is to connect your printer to your wireless network. Please follow the steps in the Installing the Printer Software for a Wireless Network Connection document for your operating system. If you have already setup your printer with a USB cable, each operating system section has the steps to switch from the USB connection to a wireless connection.
    After connecting the printer to your wireless network please follow the steps for Getting the Printer Claim Code. Once you have the web services information sheet with your claim code please Set Up a Custom Email Address for ePrint.
    You should now have a customized ePrint email address for your printer. If you run into any issues please let me know at what step things went awry and the contents of any error messages. Please also let me know what operating system you are using on your computer (whatsmyos.com). Thank you.
    Regards,
    Happytohelp01

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    Apple's policy on sales of digital content is that all sales are final. If however you wish to appeal to Apple, select the content which is causing a problem and use the 'Report a problem' button in Your Purchase History on your computer.
    Currently, if your purchase happens to be your most recent purchase you will not be redirected to the report form, in this case use the report a problem option from the invoice that was emailed to you.
    I believe your issues are probably a network issue, which unless you resolve are likely to be repeated again.

    Hi,
    You can change this in System Preferences, Language & Text.
    Go to System Preferences > Language & Text > Formats tab and change where it says Custom to your location. Then re-open iCal.
    Let us know how it goes.

    just try the following:
    jsp.getVerticalScrollbar().setValue(0);after inserting and adding all your components. this will set the vertical scrollbar up to the very first line.

  • How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox

    My younger sister executed my firefox just at this afternoon(she originally use IE), and she saw something that can't be seen. How can I set a password for firefox so that everyone have to enter the password before executing firefox?

    Also see this for an English version of Profile Password:
    *Profile Password: http://nic-nac-project.de/~kaosmos/profilepassword-en.html#PPF
    It is an extension to protect the profile with a password, but being an extension that protection can easily be bypassed by starting Firefox in [[Safe mode]].<br />
    So do not rely on it.<br />
    If you want to protect content then you have to use methods supported by the OS like a separate user account with a password or an encrypted file system.

    how can I open the outbox for mail? That is, mail that i have finished and pressed 'send' but has not appeared in the 'sent' folder

    The reason it will not be in the sent folder is, it failed to send.
    If it failed to send, then you will see the Outbox icon. 'Pending' would be a more descriptive name.
    When it eventually sends, the Outbox will not show in the Mail app interface.
    Until it is sent it will stay stuck in the Outbox.
    If it refuses to send, you can manually delete it in Finder, at the location ~/Library/Mail/Mailboxes/Outbox.mbox
    Close Mail first, before you search for that email using the Finder.

    How can I make the row labels appear on the right side instead of the left side?

    Thanks Badunit - that was a big help
    The counterintuitive part of this whole exercise is that to get the timeline printed as I want, I've got to leave the column representing Week 8 blank
