How do I create a graph in numbers?

So here is what I have created: http://i1135.photobucket.com/albums/m638/moore778899/Screenshot2011-01-06at21522 8.png
All are drop down lists. You will see that it LOOKS correct in terms of Q1. But when I change one of the responses to male and select just those two cells, then create a pie chart, I only get a full blue circle again!
What cells do I click?
What am I doing wrong?

You will see at the top that the black bar has numerics in it. They go horizontally across the spreadsheet and I've set it up like this so I cross examine the data. I.e. see whether the treatment has been more successful in certain ways for women or men.
I have not included those cells (black bar numerics) in the series as I presumed it was irrelevant. if I select two cells, both with a drop down list of male or female - and for example let's say one person was male and the other female - that it would give me a 50% split and a count of two...
The numbers in the black bar (row 4) appear to be serial numbers identifying each case. If that's the case, your presumption is correct.
If you want the pie graph to show the ratio of males to females, then you have to supply it the data to do that—a count of the Male cases and a count of the Female cases.
Somewhere in your document, possibly on a second table, you need two cells, one containing the total number of Female cases, the other the total number of Male cases.
The formula for Female will look like this:
=COUNTIF(Table 1::$7:$7,"Female")
If the cells are on the same table as the data, "Table 1::" is omitted.

How do you create a graph in numbers with different x-values?

For my chemistry class I have to create one scatter plot with three different sets of "x" and "y" values. I have done it before but it is not working. What is an easy way to accomplish this?

All X and Y data has to be in regular cells, nothing in header rows or header columns. It should be organized as X1,Y1,X2,Y2, etc.
Select all the data
Choose to make a scatter chart
At the bottom left of the Numbers window there is a little text box that probably says "Plot Columns as Series". Click on it and unselect "Share X Values"
It is beyond me why Apple put that control in the bottom left corner in a place where you wouldn't think to look because it is far from the chart and far from the table and far from all the other controls you will be using to create and format the chart..

How do I create a graph with two different y-axis variables with the same x-axis (therefor having two curves)?, How do I create a graph with two different y-axis variables with the same x-axis (therefor having two curves)?

Hi Libby,
Select all three columns of data. All three must be 'regular' columns, not Header columns, and the X values must be in the leftmost column.
Click the Charts button and choose the Scatter chart.
The resulting chart will initially show only the first and second columns of data, and the selection will have been reduced to show this.
Click the gear icon at the top left of the selection and choose Share X Values.
You should see a result similar to this:
Notes:
The values on my sample table contain a random element, so they have changed from thhe first image to the second.
The chart is as created by Numbers, with two edits:
Data points have been connected with curves, using the Chart nspector.
The curves were selected and their stroke increased to 2pts, using the stroke formating button in the format bar.

How do I create this chart in Numbers?

I want to create a chart with one set of values on the x axis and two sets of distinct values on the y axis (not sure if I'm using the right terminology). Furthermore, the two sets of data for the y axis are quite different in terms of value: the first set ranges from 147-1100, and the second set ranges from 4.9-6.4.
Perhaps the easiest way to describe what I want to do is show you the chart as it exists in Powerpoint. Here's a link to it:

Can it be done in Numbers? How?

Select data to graph:
Select Graph Icon to make Line Graph:
Graph created but both series are plotted on the same Y-Axis:
Select Series Data on Chart to plot on Secondary Y-Axis: (Control-Select and select "format Data Series"):
Select Y-Axis min max values:

Add Y-Axis labels as necessary.

How do I create overlapping tables in Numbers?

I've been fighting with numbers and so far I've found the users guide and help more frustrating than useful. After much searching, I found out that numbers apparently can't do what I wanted to do (dynamically create the entries in a popup from data on a table. I *DO NOT* want to edit the popup items directly).
So I went hunting for a second choice...which I found an acceptable solution, except there are a few critical details missing. The discussion had this bit in it below. My question is, how do I create this locked table underneath another cell? I've been unable to find anything searching via google, in numbers help, or the numbers users guide and I'm beyond frustrated right now. I need step by step instructions and please don't assume I know anything about numbers.
"The trick is to have a locked table underneath the input cell. The formula will be in the locked table and the input cell will have a transparent Fill so you can see the underlying table content."
The full discussion is here:

Starting point: A single sheet document with one table. For simplicity, I'll assume the one table is the one inserted on the original sheet, and has not been resized or otherwise reformatted.
• Insert a second table (Table 2"). Choose Plain as the type. (ie. No header rows, No header columns)
     - Use the Column and Row Handle (bottom right corner of the table); drag it up and left to reduce the table to a single cell.
• Edit the contents of this cell to contain the formula you wish.
• Click on the Table 2 icon in the Sheets list at the left to Select Table 2. You will see square handles at the corners (and in the center of the top and bottom edges) of Table 2.
* Drag Table 2 (the table itself, not the icon) into position in front of Table 1 (the original table). If necessary, use the arrow keys to nudge it into position.
• Go to the Arrange menu and choose Lock. The square handles will change to grey x characters, indicating the selected object is locked.
• Click on the Table 1 icon to select Table 1.
• Go Arrange > Bring to Front. Table 2 and its content will disappear behind Table 1.
• Open the Inspector and choose the Table inspector. Find the Cell Background section, and click the Color Well below the popup menu (which should say "Color Fill").
• The Color Picker will open. Move the Opacity slider to the left end of the bar (0). The content of Table 2 will become visible again.
• To hide the contents of Table 2 when an entry is made in the cell in front of it, you will need either:
       a formula in the Table 2 cell that changes its value to "" (a null string) when the cell in front is not empty, or
       a conditional formatting rule that places an opaque white fill in the front cell when it is not empty.
The formula or the conditional rule will depend on the possible values to be placed in the front cell.

How do I create a formula in Numbers that will only sum a set number of entries?

I'm trying to create a spreadsheet that will keep track of my expenses. In Table 1, I have only the totals for each spending category. All the other tables represent each of the spending categories, which contain all the transaction entries. In Table 1, I created a drop down menu with the following five options:
Last 30 Days
Last 365 Days
This Month
Last Month
All Time
The numerical entries in Table 1 correspond exactly to the entries of the respective footer rows. At the moment, the sum in each of the footer rows adds up all the transaction entries, but I want to be able to add up only the entries that satisfy the selected drop-down menu option.
So how can I create a conditional formula in each of the footer rows that will allow me to do this?

Hi tsp,
compare each date entry with today's date
The TODAY function will automatically update as your time zone crosses midnight.
Here is a single-cell table to use as a reference (or you could place this somewhere in a larger table)
=TODAY()
Calculating days until a task must be done
C2 (and Fill Down)
=DATEDIF(Today::A$1,B2,"D")
But only if your dog can wait 3 days for a walk .

How do I create a timesheet on numbers that will give me a weekly total as well as an hourly total?

I am currently enrolled in an internship, and I need to sumbit an timesheet every week, as well as one at the end of my internship showing the overall hours that I worked. How do I create a Time sheet that will show my start time, end time, total hours for the day, total hours for the week, and total overall hours. If possible can someone please show me step by step how to do this or give me a template I can go off of.

Hi j,
Take a look at the Employee Schedule template in the business section of the Template Chooser.
With a few modifications, it should do what you need.
Start by renaming the main table to reflect the new focus—you—then replace the names in row 1 with the Sunday dates of the weeks being recorded. Each column will then report your total house for one week (in row 25). You can use SUM() to total these in a separate cell or on a separate tabel.
One caution:
The values in the pop-up menus, like those in all cells showing either Date or Time values contain both a Date part and a Time part. Where only the Time part has been entered, the Date part is the Date on which the entry was created. For the pop-ups on this table, that was July 15, 2008, so the full value in cell C7 (John's first "In" time) is July 15, 2008 08:00:00. That full value is what's used in the calculation in C9.
If you edit the pop-up menu lists, there are two things to be aware of:
The "blank" item in the menus enters an empty string into its cell, not a true blank. You, as a user, cannot create an 'empty string' item in a popup menu. The closest you can come is an entry with a single space. If you edit the "blank" item, you will also need to edit the formulas in the hours rows to detect a space ( " " ) rather than an empty string ( "" ).
If you add or change any 'time' items in the pop-ups, the new (or changed) items will contain 'today's' date as part of the value. To avoid unexpected results from calculations, you'll need to edit ALL or the 'time' items if you choose to edit or add one.
Take a look at the template, then bring back any questions that arise.
Regards,
Barry

How do I create a pdf in numbers?

I have spent a few hours trying to work out how to create a pdf from a numbers worksheet. I don't seem to have the option to do it on my ipad 2 (OS latest version). Purchased numbers a week ago.
If I open numbers then:
If I go to Tools, Share, Print the options I get are email, print, share via iwork,copy yo idisk, or copy to webdav. Click on printer options- I get Portrait, rescale slider, Autofit and Print. click on print I get select printer, range and copy number. So I select printer and get searching and then no airprinters found. There isn't an option to create pdf? does anyone know where it is please? Or has it been withdrawn?
Vanillasand

can you use the documents on the iPad in a dropbox folder? If so then you can convert them to PDFs using your desktop computer and drop the convoluted step of emailing.
Also you have posted this Q to a forum for Numbers on a Mac OS X:

How to make a compass graph with Numbers?

Hi, I did a search for compass graphs and there are a few excel examples, do you know if there are any Numbers, versions, and user friendly ones at that. As I am not a mathematician. Basically I am plotting the frequency of doorway directions to compass points, e.g. N, NNW,NW,W, on a bar chart, but the paper I am comparing it to, has used a compass graph, with the freqency as longer lines eminating from the compass point depending on the number of doorways.
The directions could be input as degrees if required. Any help appreciated

Hi Nanouk,
A compass graph would certainly be appropriate for this data, but that chart type is not available in Numbers.
You can fake it with a little work, though.
Arrange the data in pairs as shown. Note that the values in column C are expressed as negatives.
Create four Stacked Bar charts, one from each data pair. You will need to click the three bar icon that appears at the upper left of the selection to change it from horizontal to vertical. That makes Numbers consider the pair as parts of the same series, and stack the two bars.
Open the Chart Inspector and for each chart, remove everything except the actual bar, and for now, the Label on the X axis (if this helps identify which graph shows each pair). Set the Y Max to the maximum expected value, Steps to 1 and Y Min to the negative of the Max value. Use the Pen and Fill controls in the Toolbar to set the Fill colour to None and the Line to None.
Switch to the Metrics Inspector (ruler icon) and set the size of each chart to the same values (I used 0.5 wide and 4.88 high (with Max Y set to 10).
Drag (or use the arrow keys, with or without the shift key) the four charts into place.
Add as many circles (from the Shape button—be sure to set Fill to None) as you want and drage them into position.
I left the bars in the default colours to assist in lining them up correctly. Those colours can be changed by clicking on the individual bar, then using the Fill well.
Too fiddley? You could just dump the data into NeoOffice and use that to create a Compass chart.
Here's one produced from the same data set.
Graph from NeoOffice (same data, in single column, all positive values).

Hi all,
I'm facing a strange issue.
I'm sending iDoc from an external system to SAP WM.
I want to create all those TOs on SAP using the TO numbering assigned by the external system, but SAP is creating TOs using its internal numbering.
How could I solve this issue?
Thanks in advance for all the replies.

Of course, yes.
I'd like to manage both external both internal numberinf for the same Warehouse Number.
Is it possible?

This is not really an APEX question, and would have been better posted on the {forum:id=75} forum.
Note also that the best way to get fast, effective answer to questions is to provide sufficient information for people to fully understand them:

How do I create a graph with regression lines?

Hi,
I have a simple query that returns 2 columns of variable numeric data that I would like to create a chart from. By using a numeric axis line chart I've been able to plot the individual points. However, I now want to add a regression line based on those points. The regression line could be a simple linear regression, a quadratic regression, or more complex 3 or 4 parameter regressions. Is this possible?
There could be a number of ways of creating the parameters (eg slope and intercept for a linear regression):
a) Crystal Reports could calculate them whilst drawing the line
b) I could create a formula that provides the parameters that CR could use to plot the line
c) I could return the parameters from the database as part of the same or a separate query.
Thanks

Hi Colin,
I just added a regression line to one of my charts yesterday I did it by right clicking on the line (or in my case it was the bar) on the graph. Then I picked Trendlines. There are about 16 different formulas available. I picked Linear Regression for mine and it gave me exactly what I needed.
Hope that helps,
Cyndi
