How do I add a benchmark time to a scatter plot in Numbers

I am working with a data set that includes a group of people that arrive at a location in a time range. I have these plotted on a scatter chart but I want to show a benchmark line and then how far off we are on that benchmark.
How d I do this?

If you want to plot another line on the chart, create two X,Y data points for the line in another set of columns in your table and plot it as a second series.  For example, if your original X data is in column B and Y data in column C, use column D and E for these other two points.  After you have those two points, click on your chart. A blue box will surround the data you have plotted in columns B&C. At the bottom right corner is a little circle. Drag it to the right until the box covers your new data in columns D&E.  The default is X-Y pairs so the box should have an X over columns B and D and a Y over columns C and E. Your chart should show a second series.
If you want to get sophisticated, you can use formulas to make the data points for the benchmark.  For instance, you could use MIN(B) and MAX(B) to generate the min and max X values so the benchmark line dynamically adjusts to your other X data.

  • How do I add Segments of Time in Numbers '09?

    Aloha:
    I am trying to wean myself off of Microsoft... so I'm trying to set up a TV Show Rundown sheet in Numbers.  I can do it easily in Excel but can't figure it out in Numbers.  Help....
    After a Description Column, I have two columns displaying Time.  The Left Column shows the length of the specific segment and the Right Column shows when it begins within the total Elapsed Time.  For example:
    show open id     0:00:15    0:00:00
    Opening VO      0:00:45     0:00:15
    Title Package    0:00:20     0:01:00
    On Camera 1     0:01:30    0:01:20
    So the 1st element is 15 seconds long, and it starts at 0:00:00 on the clock
    The 2nd element is 45 seconds long, and it starts at 0:00:15 on the clock
    The 3rd element is 20 seconds long, and it starts at 0:01:00... one minute in
    Th 4th element is 90 seconds long, and it starts at 0:01:20...
    And so on.  In Excel, I would set up the two columns with the right display but enter the data as clock time.  So the 1st element is 15 seconds long, but if you double click on the cell, you would see it as 12:00:15 AM but when you released the cell it read as 0:00:15.  In Excel, I could just set up a simple formula where it added those 2 cells in the row above it.  It returned a running time, and I could just keep entering segment times.  I could time out elements for a 30 second spot or a 60 minute show.  I also use it to time the songs in any given set of music my band plays.  A very simple way to add up discreet moments of time passing.
    If I'm reading Numbers correctly... which I may not be doing... it doesn't seem to want to add up two time entries.  But then I read Duration is perfect for adding Time.  But beyond formating the cells as Duration, I'm just not seeing the next step.  Plus if I enter in any number like "2", the display says 2h 0m 0s. 
    Can someone show me the right direction to go?  Thanks in advance for any tips...

    "I used to enter in a lot of Time Code into Word.  I would use the numeric keyboard and some third party software that changed the key strokes.  In Word, I would change "Opt ." in the numeric keyboard to ":".  And "Shift ."  would type as ";".  I could very quickly enter in numbers like14:23:18;00 just on the numeric keyboard."
    You might find what you need in the article Automatically Substituting Text in Chapter 8, Working with Text, of the Numbers '09 User Guide (excerpt below). You can download the guide (and the iWork Formulas and Functions User Guide) via the Help menu in Numbers.
    To replace one or more characters with one or more different characters, select
    “Symbol and text substitution.” Then use the rows in the table to define and activate
    specific substitutions. For example, when you type (c), you can have Numbers
    automatically convert it to © by putting a checkmark in the On column. To add a row
    to the table to define your own substitution, click the Add button. To remove a
    selected item, click the Delete (–) button.
    After you specify substitution settings, they’ll apply to any text you change or add in
    any Numbers spreadsheet.

  • How can I add a stopwatch / timer iMovie11

    I've done some research on this but cannot seem to find a recent and clear answer to best answer my question.  I only want to show a small timer (black box overlay) in certain iMovie clips. If I need to purchase something, I would like to get something that is reputable (and simple).

    I'm having dropped connection problems while using VyprVPN. My Usenet tech support said,
    "For good measure, it may be a wise idea to set VyprVPN itself as a trusted application in your firewall/antivirus programs, or temporarily disable those programs to see if the issue persists. It could be that one of those programs is closing the port after a certain amount of time. If you are behind a router, bypassing it and connecting straight to your modem may rule out timing-related port issues there as well."
    I was able to work with my A/V program, but can't figure out how to set it truste/port forward on the router/firewall.

  • How do I add a video time trigger to control other symbols?

    I would like to use a video to trigger when other Symbols appear on the Stage at different times in the video. I've used the following code:
           var vid = sym.$("VideoSymbolName")[0];
           vid.addEventListener("timeupdate", function() {
                 if (this.currentTime >= 4) {
                   // Do Something This code loads a symbol into a container
                      var firstS = sym.createChildSymbol("SymbolName", "ContainerName");
            }, false);
    However, that loads the picture repeatedly, and several instances appear on the stage, so I tried using this code:
           var vid = sym.$("VideoSymbolName")[0];
           vid.addEventListener("timeupdate", function() {
                 if (this.currentTime >= 4) {
                   // Do Something This code loads a symbol into a container
                    var con= sym.$("PicPortal");
                    con.empty();
                      var firstS = sym.createChildSymbol("SymbolName", "ContainerName");
            }, false);
    However, that makes the loaded Symbol "flash", as it is constantly loaded and unloaded in the container.
    Any other ideas?
    Thanks

  • For Numbers...how do I add one each time in a column instead of manually adding plus 1...Column B..

    I just want it to go 44,45,46,47,48...without me having to have to type it in.

    Matt,
    Type the first value in the first cell and the second value in the second cell, Select both cells, grab the Fill handle in the lower right corner (Numbers v2) and pull it down to extend the series as far as you want.

  • How do I add a vertical cursor to a 2-plot xy graph?

    I have a 2-plot xy graph, and I would like to add a vertical cursor that can be dragged to any x position, and have the 2 y values displayed.  How do I do this?

    OK, my problem is deeper than reading cursor position.  My cursor disappears when the VI is first run, never to appear again.  I have the X-axis set up for absolute time, and I think that might have something to do with it.

  • How can I add a whole paragraph of text to an IPad Numbers row?

    I can add the text just fine, and the text wraps to the next line as I type it, but when I'm done only one row of text appears.  If I change the row height, it creates a nice high row, but again only the first line appears at the bottom of the row.

    Under the Format button ( the paintbrush) at the top of the screen turn on "Wrap text in cell".

  • Add a second series to a scatter plot.

    I have two tables, each with non-adjacent x and y data columns.  I would like to plot both series on one plot as separate series.  I have read the pdf help file, and searched through past discussions here.  Non of the tips in those locations work.
    Any thoughts?
    Thanks

    Badunit,
    The option command method seems to add data to an existing series, but does not give me a different series.  The last point on the first series is physically connected with a line to the first data point on the next series.  There is also only one series listed in the legand.
    Are you selecting the chart as a whole (correct) or the first series in the chart (incorrect) before you try to add the second series?  The method worked for me.
    I'll second Jerry's solution of gathering the data into a separate table for the chart.  Otherwise, if you make changes to one of your tables (i.e., add/delete a column between your X & Y data), you'll probably have to readjust the chart to get it looking at the corect columns again. It's more foolproof to use a separate table as the basis for the chart.
